Quinn is crushed by Eric's decision, and Liam kisses Steffy
Candace Young
The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Thursday August 4, 2016: Steffy demands Wyatt do something about his mother, and Ridge and Thomas forgive one another.
In Wyatt and Steffy's suite, she goes on about his mother targeting her grandfather – she doesn't know how much more she can take. Steffy wants Wyatt to put a stop to Quinn…for all their sakes. Wyatt isn't convinced it's as simple as Quinn using Eric. Steffy warns him not to defend her; she's pure evil. Steffy notes that Liam warned her about Quinn and was right. Wyatt vows to fix this. Steffy worries Quinn's still there. Wyatt leaves to find out. In Eric's suite, Quinn wants him to tell her whether they can survive this; she loves him. If he wants her to go, he just has to say the words and he'll never have to see her again. They rehash Steffy's reaction to seeing her there, and how she looked at Eric. Quinn is sorry she made things worse. Eric thinks Steffy is angry with good reason. Quinn laments that she tried to get through to her but she wouldn't listen. Eric sees the good in Quinn, but he has to put his family first. "Steffy's been through so much. I'm sorry…" Quinn understands, but asks him to hold her one last time. She tells Eric she'll treasure their time together and leaves. Elsewhere, Liam meets up with Eva the publicist. They talk about whether Quinn might actually be in Monte Carlo. Liam feels that even if she's not, it won't be long until she flips Steffy's world upside-down. They talk about their love lives. Eva lets Liam know that she's into him, but realizes he's in love with Steffy, and is worried about her.

At the Forrester mansion, Ridge tells Thomas he ended his marriage because it's what's best. He acknowledges that Thomas deserved better from him. Thomas says, "So did you, from me." Ridge wonders if this is where they start…by forgiving each other. They rehash the misunderstanding of the night Douglas was conceived. Thomas is pleased that Douglas will know him as his father. Talk turns to Eric being in Monte Carlo and him replacing Ridge as CEO. Thomas thinks he has big shoes to fill. Ridge worries about his father's loneliness. He is concerned about his vulnerability and plans to make sure no one takes advantage of him. Thomas calls Steffy, who fills him in on Eric and Quinn. She adds that she told Wyatt she doesn't know how much more she can take. After, Thomas tells Ridge he was right about Grandad being vulnerable – he's involved with Quinn Fuller. Ridge shouts, "Quinn Fuller, really?"

In Monte Carlo, Wyatt arrives in Eric's suite and is relieved to hear Quinn has left for home, but he's worried about his wife. On the beach, Steffy flashes through recent events and cringes. Liam appears. Steffy tells him he was right, Quinn's there and is having a relationship with her grandfather. Liam is worried about the Fullers infecting her family. "You have to come back to me, and I'm not taking no for an answer." He kisses her.

Stupidest celebration of the week award goes to Mohammed El Fakih and his team mates at Moroccan second division outfit Youssoufia Berrechid in their game against Mouloudia Oujda.
Wheeling away after scoring (admittedly, a pretty nice goal) he sought out someone from the backroom staff to get a phone to post a picture on Instagram, à la Ballotelli. Near the whole team gets involved, manager and all. The officials, however, are having none of it and come in to separate the lads.
Cue cut to widescreen to see the opposition kicking off as Berrechid scamper to get back in defence. A couple of frantic swipes at the player on the ball later and its man on the ground. Penalty given. Penalty buried. 1–1. Oh, mate.
Didn't even manage to post the thing. A modern tragedy.

Years ago, a friend tried to convince me to join the "Amateur Radio Association". It took him quiet a long time to do so, and in the end I relented. To my surprise he was astounded.
-"You are such a busy person, why did you consent?", he asked.
-"Because I want to know things a moment before they happen", I answered.
This short memory is the essence of the" why" to many things I do, including "Micro Expressions". I believe most humans want to have that special edge when interacting and communicating. Micro Expressions identification, is one of those tools that can help us know things in advance. Yet with all this said, the important question would be, how to use the knowledge? If we look at a picture, we can sometimes see a Micro Expression, yet what does it tell us? Only the possible mood of the person at that moment.
Is that enough? Certainly not. What can we do then to enhance the results of using this tool? We can begin by realizing how we humans behave. Most important is the fact that we cannot stop thinking. Thinking makes us react, always physiologically and some times also verbally. Knowing that simple fact, we can start using Cybernetics, test and operate. Which means, we have to become dynamic…send messages and check the results. Messages can vary, it can be questions, assumptions, gestures. Each would give us a reaction. The reactions form a picture of what is going on in the persons mind. When we look at the content we receive in a certain context, we are truly practicing Cybernetics. We are sending a signal and we are checking to see the result. If the result is what we expected, we know we are in the right direction. If it is not, change the signal. In this way we can navigate our communication wisely. This can be useful in many kinds of communications if not in all. From a friendly chat, through business negotiating, sales, persuasion etc.
Think for example what a reporter is doing. It is in fact an interrogation, he wants to get the answers to what he presumes is an interesting story. The interviewee, may want to tell the story or he may not. Would you like to know if he is truthful or leading you astray? By learning to navigate wisely you will always know where you stand.A person comes in to be interviewed for a job. It would be in his best interest to make a good impression. Since he wants the job, he may use some stories that are not the exact truth. Would you like to know the truth?
You are in a negotiation, you are trying to convince the other party that your proposal is in his best interest. He makes a certain expression. If you know what it means you can feel assured you are in the right direction, or realize you have said something inappropriate and immediately correct your line of persuasion. This would make the difference between agreement or none agreement. To conclude, Micro expressions identification and knowing how to use this tool can in large save you a lot of time and disappointments.

London's stock market is the world's worst this year
London's stock market has had a terrible start to 2018.The benchmark ...
Updated: Mar 23, 2018 11:25 AM
London's stock market has had a terrible start to 2018.
The benchmark FTSE 100 has dropped 11% so far this year, making it the world's worst performing major index.
International fund managers are more pessimistic than ever before about UK stocks, according to a survey by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The investment managers, who control a combined $514 billion, said the UK was their main "big short."
Stocks have been hit this year by tensions over global trade, but here are three other factors driving the FTSE 100's dismal performance:
1. The pound
The FTSE 100 has a pattern: When the pound dips, stocks go up. When the currency strengthens, shares drop.
The pound has gained 4.4% against the US dollar in 2018, pushing it to $1.41. That's a major swing from the months following the Brexit vote in June 2016, when the currency traded as low as $1.20.
Lukas Daalder, chief investment officer at asset manager Robeco, said the pound's strength was the "most important, direct reason" for the FTSE 100's dismal performance.
The index is comprised of 100 large companies like banks, miners and oil companies that do lots of business outside the United Kingdom. The profits they earn abroad are translated back into pounds.
That means their profits take a hit when the currency strengthens.
"I would say the simplest logical explanation is the strength of the pound and the low [UK] earnings outlook for 2018," said Daalder.
To make matters worse, London-traded oil companies Royal Dutch Shell and BP pay dividends in US dollars. British investors, who convert those dollars back into pounds, are less enthusiastic buyers when the local currency is strong.
2. Safety over returns
Rising bond yields have also lured investors away from stocks. The yield on 10-year US Treasuries, for example, has jumped to 2.8%. Yields on 10-year UK government debt have risen to around 1.5%.
Frances Hudson, a global strategist at Aberdeen Standard Investments, said this has slammed FTSE 100 companies, including British American Tobacco.
Even the tobacco firm's high annual dividend payout -- currently just over 5% -- is not enough to compensate for a 22% decline in its stock in 2018. Investors are moving to bonds, choosing safety even if it means smaller returns.
Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, said that British American Tobacco has been the biggest drag on the FTSE this year.
3. Struggling companies
British companies including Micro Focus and Carillion have made headlines this year for all the wrong reasons.
Carillion, a major British construction company, is liquidating after failing to secure a financial lifeline. It's not on the FTSE 100, but its demise shook investor confidence and dragged down shares in other big construction firms.
Micro Focus, which is a member of the index, has just lost its CEO after six months on the job and warned of falling sales. Its shares are down 63% this year.
Slow domestic economic growth isn't helping UK stocks -- especially when eurozone economies continue on their upward trajectory.
"The UK is currently in a less favorable place than the eurozone," said Daalder.
Which stocks have done well?
Van Dulken said that takeover targets were the "only buoyant thing."
One example: Shares in Sky are up 30% since the start of the year as suitors Comcast and 21st Century Fox compete to buy the broadcaster.

Help! How do I survive Thanksgiving dinner with my family?
With a game plan and gratitude, you can weather this once-a-year gathering.
November 11, 2011, 10:39 a.m.
Q: Well, it's that time of year again. Thanksgiving dinner with my family can be rough — I have to deal with my brother's wife who's always trying to show me up with her designer clothes and cherubic children. And my grandmother who's hounding me about that 10 pounds I need to lose. And my Uncle Mark, who drinks way too much and can get very loud. Got any tips for getting through the madness without going mad?
3. Volunteer on Thanksgiving Day. Before you go to dinner, spend Thanksgiving Day volunteering at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen with your kids or spouse. Not only will you be spending your Thanksgiving doing something truly meaningful, but the experience also will give you great perspective on the Thanksgiving dinner you're about to endure and turn it into one you truly enjoy. You can find a local soup kitchen here.
4. Seat strategically. If you're the hostess, arrange the seating at the dinner table so that you can avoid any potential conflicts. That might mean keeping your sister-in-law way at the other end of the table or barricading yourself with your children if need be.
Remember that Thanksgiving happens once a year, so try to look around the table and appreciate your sometimes quirky, and sometimes disconcerting family. At the end of the day, you can't choose your family but you can choose your attitude toward them, and at least one day a year, let's hope it's a thankful one.
Thanksgiving dinner with my family can be rough. Got any tips for getting through the madness without going mad?


On International Day Against Homophoia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we stand in solidarity with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons worldwide. We celebrate the progress made to advance a world where all persons are respected and can live free from fear and discrimination. And today we reaffirm our belief all persons are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
Last February, I was honored to appoint the first ever Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons, Randy Berry. In his first year, Special Envoy Berry has traveled to over 40 countries, discussing the human rights of LGBTI individuals with senior government officials, and bringing together the faith and business community, in recognition that we all have a role to play in advancing equality.
Around the world, U.S. embassies and consulates work closely with LGBTI communities in support of equality. We integrate respect for the rights of LGBTI persons throughout our assistance programs. Through the Global Equality Fund, we provide direct support to LGBTI civil society organizations to enable them to produce social change.
Here at home, we know that when communities exclude, we do not—cannot—reach our full potential. When people are arrested, harassed, or even killed, just for being who they are or expressing whom they love, we all suffer. So our work is not over.
On this day—and every day—let us redouble our efforts to create a more just and fair world for all. Onward.
In honor of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOT), the Council for Global Equality is pleased to release the report from the 2014 Conference to Advance the Human Rights of and Promote Inclusive Development for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex (LGBTI) Persons. The conference was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and USAID, with support from the Council for Global Equality.
The theme for this year's IDAHOT events is "Stand with LGBTQI Youth: Fight for visibility, respect and equality." Here in the United States, studies show that over 40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT. Across the world, similarly startling statistics reveal the disproportionate vulnerability that LGBT and intersex youth face due to bullying in schools and online, abuse and expulsion from home, forced marriages, denial of health services, discrimination at work, and increased risk of suicide and depression. Children born with intersex conditions are still misunderstood and inappropriately treated by doctors around the world in irreversibly harmful ways.
call on the U.S. government to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is the world's most-ratified human rights treaty and provides important, age-based understandings of the rights of LGBT and intersex youth!
President Obama took a very important step earlier this year, publicly calling for a ban on "conversion therapy" for LGBT minors. This unprecedented move by a head of state in support of LGBT youth complements many positive developments by the Obama administration to combat bullying in schools, LGBTQ youth homelessness, and to promote acceptance in families.
In honor of this IDAHOT day and its youth focused theme, we call on the President to do all that his administration can do to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The United States is one of only two countries in the world that have yet to ratify the Convention, together with the government of Somalia. It's time for our country to get on the right side of history – we owe it to America's youth.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that all children "should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding." As we think about LGBT and intersex youth on this year's IDAHOT day, we call on our government to commit to this treaty obligation, but also to commit resources to this important goal, as it did during the donor conference on inclusive development.

Her Majesty The Queen has been pleased to approve, under the Bank of England Act 1998, the appointment of Charles Bean as a Deputy Governor of the Bank of England for Monetary Stability, for a period of five years starting on 1 July 2008. Alongside this the Chancellor has announced that, in future, the Government will advertise vacancies for the Governor and Deputy Governors of the Bank of England and also for external members of the MPC, consistent with the principles of open competition.
Having consulted with the Governor and Sir John Gieve, the Chancellor has today also set out proposals to enhance the role of the Bank of England in preserving financial stability. These proposals will be included in the Banking Reform bill, to be introduced later this year.
provision of a range of tools for the Bank of England to enable it to carry out its responsibility in this area. This will include a leading role in the implementation of the new special resolution regime (SRR), should it be triggered by the FSA, including powers related to deploying and implementing the SRR tools.
The new legislation will change the role of the Bank and, within that, the Deputy Governor for financial stability from Spring 2009.
Taking this forward will require a long-term commitment. Sir John Gieve has indicated that he would not wish to serve a new 5-year term at the Bank and has decided therefore to step down once the legislation comes into force. The Governor and Chancellor have asked Sir John to continue in the job of leading this reform process until then, at which point the position will be advertised under the new process.
"I am delighted to announce the appointment of Charlie Bean as Deputy Governor for Monetary Stability at the Bank of England. He is a world-class economist with a great depth of experience in both academia and policy making environments. Appointing an economist of Charlie's calibre is particularly important amidst the significant global economic challenges the UK economy is presently facing.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Rachel Lomax for the contribution she has made to the public sector throughout her distinguished career, including as Permanent Secretary to a number of Government departments and as Deputy Governor.
The wider reforms that I am announcing today will ensure that the Bank of England will in future have a much enhanced role in the preservation of financial stability. Sir John Gieve has made a huge contribution to public service over many years both in the civil service and at the Bank. I am extremely grateful to him for leading the Bank's work to develop these proposals for reform and for all his work in the demanding circumstances of the last year."
"I am delighted that the Treasury has asked Charlie Bean to take on this vital role overseeing our monetary policy work. I am extremely grateful to Rachel Lomax for her contribution to the MPC, her tireless devotion to the work of the Bank and her personal support and wise counsel over the past five years. I am also very grateful to John Gieve for his hard work and loyalty. In particular since the events of last summer, John has played a major role in delivering the new framework, and I am pleased he is staying until the Bill is law. I wish them both well in future."
"As the Deputy Governor responsible for overseeing the Bank's monetary policy work, I am committed to ensuring that the MPC is properly equipped to steer the economy through the challenging times ahead."
The Bank of England is announcing Charles Bean's successor as Executive Director and Chief Economist at the Bank of England in parallel to this announcement.
1. Charlie Richard Bean is currently Executive Director and Chief Economist at the Bank of England, having been appointed to this position on 1 October 2000. In addition to his membership of the Monetary Policy Committee, Charlie is responsible for the Monetary Analysis & Statistics Divisions of the Bank.
2. After a spell in HM Treasury (1975-79 & 1981-82), Charlie joined the London School of Economics as a lecturer in 1982, becoming Professor of Economics in 1990 and Head of Department in 1999. He was visiting Professor at Stanford University in 1990. He has published widely, in both professional journals and more popular media, on European unemployment, on European Monetary Union, and on macroeconomics generally. He has served on the boards of several academic journals, and was Managing Editor of the Review of Economic Studies (1986-90). He has also served in a variety of public policy roles, including: as consultant to HM Treasury; as special adviser to both the Treasury Committee of the House of Commons and to the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee of the European Parliament; and as special adviser to the House of Lords enquiry into the European Central Bank. He studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. (B.A., First Class Honours in Economics and Mathematics, 1975. M.A., 1979.) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (PhD, 1981. Harkness Fellow, 1979-80). Charlie was born on 16 September, 1953 and lives in Chiswick, West London. His outside interests include cricket and opera.
3. He does not currently hold any ministerial public appointments and is not engaged in any political activity.
4. The appointment of Charlie Bean was made by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister and Chancellor, under the terms of the Bank of England Act 1998. The appointment is for a five year term. The appointment carries with it membership of the Monetary Policy Committee.
5. The Bank of England is the central bank of the UK. It is governed by a board of directors known as the Court of Directors, which oversees the operations of the Bank, except its monetary policy decision-making, which is the responsibility of the separately appointed Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). Further details, including current Court members, can be found on the Bank of England website (www.bankofengland.co.uk).The Authorities published a consultation document in January 2008: Financial stability and depositor protection:strengthening the framework which set out detailed proposals for banking reform.
6. The Financial Stability Committee will be a committee of Court, chaired by the Governor, and consisting of both executive and non-executive members of Court.
7. Sir John Gieve was appointed Deputy Governor in January 2006. He is a member of the Monetary Policy Committee and of the Board of the FSA. Rachel Lomax was appointed Deputy Governor on 1 July 2003 and has also been a member of the MPC.

Collection of string theory jokes
Path integrals: particle paths for principle of least action
Wave-particle duality
June 7, 2012 June 12, 2012 Posted in About5 Comments
David A Chalmers 1997 article on double slit experiment
Double slit experiment energy balance (David A Chalmers Science World ISSN 1367 6172 Feb 1997).
Wave-particle duality: the conflict of 1st quantization (one wavefunction per onshell particles) and 2nd quantization (multiple wavefunctions per particle, with a sum over histories)
The Schroedinger 1st quantization wavefunction amplitude is exp(iS), where S is the action of the path, measured in units of h-bar. This is a simple solution to Schroedinger's wave equation, which has a single wavefunction.
Feynman's genius was explicitly updating this 1st quantization wavefunction to the multipath interference of 2nd quantization, where the uncertainty principle is no longer a mystery but a simple result of multipath (multiple wavefunctions) interference.
2nd quantization quantizes the field, and the field quanta then provide the stochastic or random interactions with charges that account for non-classical behaviour of particles whose path actions are small compared to h-bar.
1st quantization is based on mystery, and merely re-asserts Planck's E = hf in the form of the uncertainty principle Et = h (remember f = 1/t) allowing no mechanism. Dirac proved the necessity for 2nd quantization in 1927, on the basis that the Hamiltonian energy as written in Schroedinger's 1st quantization wave equation makes Schroedinger's single-wavefunction equation (basically the whole of undergraduate quantum mechanics) non-relativistic and thus wrong. Dirac's replacement, relativistic Hamiltonian spinor has negative energy states, predicting pair production in the vacuum, so the vacuum's field is quantized. Feynman recognised that the virtual particles of the quantized force field interact with charges in a manner partly analogous to real radiation, at least from the perspective of imparting force by interaction, i.e. virtual photon scattering by charges in Feynman diagrams. Summing all possible virtual photon interactions with a charge, appropriately weighted using exp(iS) as the amplitude for each path of action S, gives the path integral.
However, we live in an Orwellian "doublethink" world when it comes to 1st and 2nd quantization. For a pure mathematician, no equation that has any applicability is "wrong". Take epicycles, the incorrect earth centred universe of Ptolemy's highly popular Almagest (published 150 AD, some 400 years after Aristarchus of Samos had correctly postulated the solar system with spinning earth in 250 BC!). If you are a mathematician, it really doesn't matter whether the sun orbits the earth or the vice-versa, so long as the equations are interesting. A mathematician will happily try to find dualities. Dr Lubos Motl, I recall, suggested to me that Ptolemy's epicycle equations for planetary motions were not wrong in the sense that they were useful for predictions. (However, although Ptolemy could predict the positions of planets as seen in the sky, where only two degrees of freedom – latitude and longitude – are the variables, Ptolemy's epicycle model is not a mathematical duality of the correct 3-dimensional motion of the planets, since it fails to properly model the variations in the distances of the planets from the earth.)
The point is, Maxwell, unifier of electricity and magnetism, tried to find a mechanism for the equations of electromagnetism using a complex model of space, filled with moving parts. When that model failed, more "pure" mathematicians and philosophers like Mach combined forces in a mathematical revolution in physics which, like all revolutions, is sustained by Orwellian "doublethink". While it is the basis of the Standard Model that Feynman's 2nd quantization gives fundamental particles uncertainty by random interactions with quantized (non classical) field quanta, no efforts are made to deal with this by radiation transport Monte Carlo simulations of the vacuum dynamics. Instead, the physicist hides behind the mathematics of the path integral, just as medieval Ptolemaic believers hid behind the trignometry of epicycles, for obfuscation. In addition, 1st quantization (single wavefunction per particle!) non-relativistic quantum mechanics continues to be taught because it is easier for students to apply to atomic energy levels than 2nd quantization. In this "doublethink", the errors of 1st quantization persist as a hardened dogma, despite being overturned by relativistic 2nd quantization, where indeterminancy arises simply from field quanta interactions.
Einstein and Infeld in their book "Evolution of Physics" discuss the randomness of Brownian motion. When the random, indeterministic motion of fragments of pollen grains was first seen under a microscope, the water molecules bombarding the fragments were invisible, and Brown actually believed that the motion was intrinsic to small particles, an inherent indeterminancy on small scales in space and time! This error is precisely Bohr's 1st quantization error. It is no wonder that Bohr was so ignorantly opposed to Feynman's path integral:
"… My way of looking at things was completely new, and I could not deduce it from other known mathematical schemes … Bohr … said: "… one could not talk about the trajectory of an electron in the atom, because it was something not observable." … Bohr thought that I didn't know the uncertainty principle …"
– The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Sciece of Richard Feynman, by Jagdish Mehra (Oxford 1994) (pp. 245-248).
This attitude of Bohr persists today with regard to the difference between 1st and 2nd quantization; the attitude is that because non-relativistic 1st quantization was discovered first, and is taught first in courses, it must somehow take precedence over the mechanism for indeterterminancy in quantum field theory (2nd quantization). The doublethink of most textbooks omits this and glues on 2nd quantization as a supplement to 1st quantization, rather than as a replacement of it! Why not have doublethink, with two reasons for indeterminancy: intrinsic, unexplained, magical indeterminancy typified by the claim "nobody understands quantum mechanics (1st quantization)", plus the mechanism that virtual particles in every field randomly deflect charges on small scales (like Brownian motion on dust)! Feynman's answer of course is that 1st quantization is plain wrong, since it is non-relativistic and also Occam's Razor tells us that we need 2nd quantization only because it explains everything mechanically without needing an 1st quantization (intrinsic or magical) uncertainty principle:
"I would like to put the [1st quantization] uncertainty principle in its historical place: when the revolutionary ideas of quantum physics were first coming out, people still tried to understand them in terms of old-fashioned ideas … But at a certain point the old fashioned ideas would begin to fail, so a warning was developed that said, in effect, "Your old-fashioned ideas are no damn good when …". If you get rid of all the old-fashioned ideas and instead use the ideas that I'm explaining in these lectures – adding arrows [wavefunction phase amplitudes] for all the ways an event can happen – there is no need for an [1st quantization] uncertainty principle! … on a small scale, such as inside an atom, the space is so small that there is no main path, no "orbit"; there are all sorts of ways the electron could go, each with an amplitude. The phenomenon of interference [by 2nd quantization field quanta] becomes very important …" – Richard P. Feynman, QED, Penguin, 1990, pp. 55-6, and 84.
This blog post is motivated by a kind email from Dr Mario Rabinowitz on wave-particle duality in the double-slit experiment, which was sent as a result of yet another "not even wrong" paper published in a journal which uses non-relativistic (single wavefunction!) 1st quantization quantum mechanics to analyze quantum indeterminancy in the double-slit experiment. Whenever you use the earth centred planetary theory of Ptolemy to try to get higher accuracy, you always "discover" more evidence for endless epicycles, so the dogma is becomes a self-fullfilling cult, sucking in research funding and peddling science fantasy in place of fact. The facts don't speak for themselves, because they aren't as exciting as dogmatic indeterminism:
Dear Mario,
Thank you for emailing me your paper "Examination of wave-particle duality via two-slit interference". In Section 5.1, at page 26, you state:
"In Bohm's quantum mechanical theory, there is no wave-particle duality. [The Undivided Universe, 1993] For Bohm, the particles shot at the slit-plate have definite trajectories, and each particle goes through only one slit or the other. In this theory as excellently presented by Holland [Quantum Theory of Motion, 1993], the interference pattern results from the interaction of each particle with the quantum potential determined by its own wave function and the presence of the two slits. … 5.2 Prosser, and Wesley's Poynting vector particle guidance In 1976 Prosser made a ground-breaking suggestion that, at least for the case of light, the underlying causal reality for the formation of interference and diffraction patterns is the energy flow given by the Poynting vector. [Intl. J. Theoretical Phys. 15, 169 (1976).]"
I don't know what you mean by "wave-particle duality", which is as vague as the word "God". Feynman explains the double slit using path integrals, although he explains that the spatial extent of a photon transversely is a "small core of space" surrounding the classical path (the path of least action), in his 1985 book QED, stating:
"Light … uses a small core of nearby space. (In the same way, a mirror has to have enough size to reflect normally: if the mirror is too small for the core of nearby paths, the light scatters in many directions, no matter where you put the mirror.)" – R. P. Feynman, QED, Penguin Books, London, 1990, page 54.
The amplitude contribution of each path with action S to the path integral is exp(iS/[h bar]) which reduces by Euler's equation cos (S/[h bar]) relative to the path of least action (where we don't need the complex exponent, the additional information being merely the direction of the resultant, which is always parallel to the axis of least action when the path integral is done by summing arrows on an Argand diagram).
Therefore, with amplitude cos (S/[h bar]), only paths with actions within plus-or-minus h-bar around the path of least action contribute to the net amplitude significantly (the paths with larger actions cancel one another out). So it is indeed a very small core of space around the path of least action where the alternative paths of the path integral are significant and cause the double-slit phenomena.
The actual mechanism for the diffraction is very simple: the slits in the screen contain atoms with electromagnetic field quanta, which interact with a passing photon, diffracting it. When a photon travels through an electromagnetic field, it interacts with the virtual photons of the field, which is also why light is slowed down and refracted by glass. Because these field quanta are stochastic or random in timing and paths taken, an element of uncertainty is thereby introduced into the change of momentum of the passing photon. In addition, the "small core" of paths taken around the classical path means that if the slits are close enough together, some of the multiple paths taken by a "single" (sum over histories) photon will pass through each of the slits, before recombining on the other side. This causes the double slit interference pattern, seen with so-called "single" photons.
On page 27 you state:
"In 1984 Wesley [J. P. Wesley, Found. Phys. 14, 155 (1984)] independently formulated a similar theoretical concept of the role of the Poynting vector in two-slit interference. Wesley gave due credit to Prosser, and referenced his two papers. He pointed out that smaller slits with wider separation would more clearly show the flow needed to explain two-slit interference."
On page 30, you state:
"5.4 Marmet's relativistic waveless and photonless two-slit interference Marmet [Absurdities in Modern Physics: A Solution,1993] uses an original if not peculiar invocation of relativity theory to obtain interference without either waves or photons. He says, "The wave or photon interpretations are not only useless, they are not compatible with physical reality. Waves are simply the relativistically distorted appearance of relativistic coupling between two atoms exchanging energy."
This is not a "peculiar" idea as far as I can see, it is QED, the standard model's gauge theory of electrodynamics. All electric charges and magnets produce force fields by the exchange of offshell photons with one another. This "fills the vacuum" with offshell radiation which produces only fundamental forces. What I've never been able to understand is why it is still taboo to try to produce a Monte Carlo or simple geometric model of this exchange of virtual photons, as a duality to the usual mathematical technique of integrating exp(iS/[h bar]) over all paths.
This anti-mechanism taboo is a "doublethink" disease of the mathematical priesthood in physics. What happened when Maxwell's mechanical aether failed was that mechanical models became taboo, and this taboo survives today. It is a lurch from one extreme to another. Really, QED is a theory of offshell radiation being exchanged between charges to produce fundamental forces, and the appearance of the real (onshell) photon is just an asymmetry in the normally unobservable exchange of virtual photons between charges (the asymmetry being caused by the acceleration of a charge).
You finish:
"6. Conclusion … If a photon goes through both slits at the same time, there is little or no momentum transfer to the slit plate compared with a photon traversing only one slit. … It is extraordinary from a particle point of view that more photons reach the screen when one slit is closed than when both slits are open."
What is the evidence that more photons reach the screen when one slit is closed than when both are open? If I make lots of pinholes in a screen, more light will definitely get through. Have you thought about the conservation of energy, taken over the pattern of light and dark fringes in the interference pattern?
What happens to photon energy if a single photon "lands" at a "dark interference fringe"?
Clearly, it would violate conservation of energy, since a photon's energy doesn't "disappear" from the universe when it travels through two slits and "interferes with itself". What is the "cancellation" process? If I send two water waves in opposite directions towards one another from oscillators at opposite ends of a water tank, when the waves meet and pass through another, for a brief period the water surface is completely calm. The wave amplitudes have temporarily cancelled out. However, the energy still exists, and is seen a moment later when both waves, having passed through one another, magically reappear and the calm water surface rears up into two waves travelling away from one another.
Photons only arrive at the bright bands in the interference pattern. Nothing arrives at the dark bands in the interterference pattern, which means that the usual explanation by Young is plain wrong: individual photons don't arrive "out of phase" to form the dark bands. This fact is obfuscated by the usual diagrams based on Young's analysis which show that light waves arrive out of phase at the dark bands. Are you aware of this?

May be one of the most important experiments in the last two centuries on the Wave-Particle Duality
Hi Nigel,
I hope all is going well for you.
In case you haven't already heard, I thought you might like to know a little about what may be one of the most important experiments in the last two centuries on the Wave-Particle Duality.
A recent experiment by Menzel et al observes through which of two slits a photon passes, while still preserving the customary interference pattern of Young's original 1802 experiment. This violates both the Uncertainty Principle and Bohr's Complementarity Principle.
Interestingly I was the first to propose and analyze this experiment in my 1995 paper, Examination of Wave-Particle Duality Via Two-Slit Interference. It was published in Modern Physics Letters B 9 pp. 763 – 789 (1995), and appeared as ArXiv 0302062 in 2003. My description and analysis of this novel experiment that determines which slit the particle/photon goes through and still preserves the interference pattern is in Sec. 4 pp. 18 – 38, and illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2 of my ArXiv paper.
A copy of my ArXiv paper is attached; as is the Abstract of the Menzel et al paper which is expected to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of sciences. The Web Sites for these two papers are:

I recall that Thomas Young's monumental paper was roundly criticized by some authors in the same 1802 issue of Philosophical Transactions in which his paper was published. Lucky for him and for posterity, they were not in a position to reject his paper from publication.

Q: Made a query in Watson discovery, tried to duplicate via nodejs sdk and the passages array is empty After doing a simple natural language query in the build query page, set the options for "include relevant passages to Yes. I get back 5 passages and results.  All good. When I try from npm ibm-watson 6 nodejs sdk.  I get the results, but an empty passages array with the same natural langauge text.
Here is the the url from the query page showing the options, which I tried all of them
https://api.us-east.discovery.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/d45df72b-93e4-4897-b9ac-98dc1e088afc/v1/environments/xx/collections/xx/query?version=2018-12-03&deduplicate=false&highlight=true&passages=true&passages.count=5&natural_language_query=what%20is%20autism
Here is the answer from the query builder page

Here is code example,
var discovery = new watson_discovery_v1({
  authenticator : new IamAuthenticator({apikey: msg.startup.discovery_password}),
  serviceUrl : msg.startup.discovery_endpoint,
  version: '2020-09-22'
});

msg.WDSParams = {
    environmentId: "x",
    collectionId: "x",
    passages: true,
    count:5,
    natural_language_query: msg.params.input.text
}

discovery.query(msg.WDSParams)
  .then(results => {
      msg.WDSResults = results; //your query results
      node.send(msg);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log('error:', err);
  });

Here is the json that came back from the discovery call

I have tried all of the passage options, duplicated the exact options that the query builder used. The same results come back, but no passages. Anyone have an idea?  BTW using the Lite plan until I can prove passages works.

A: The problem was related to the way I called the query method. Below code resolved the issue. This code is for a nodeRed function node.
const watson_discovery_v1 = global.get('watson_discovery_v1');
const { IamAuthenticator } = global.get('ibm_auth');

const discovery = new watson_discovery_v1({
  authenticator : new IamAuthenticator({apikey:
  msg.startup.discovery_password}),
  serviceUrl : msg.startup.discovery_endpoint,
  version: '2019-04-30'
});

async function run() {
 try {
    const result = await discovery.query({
        environmentId: 'x',
        collectionId: 'x',
        passages: true,
        passagesCount: 2,
        count: 5,
        naturalLanguageQuery: msg.params.input.text
        })

    msg.WDSResults = result
    clearTimeout(myTM)

So, you�ve got a great idea for one of Carol�s basic patterns--you�d like to create a wrap skirt�Now how would you do that? The process of creating a particular style from a basic pattern is called pattern transformation. It takes some time and practice to get the knack of but it is worth the effort if you desire to become a dolly fashion stylist! In order to familiarize you with the process and terms I�ve given you a concise outline below. Please take the time to read this carefully as the proceeding sections will be easier to understand once you do.
* Select and study a basic shape pattern.
* Sketch variations of the basic shape envisioning details that will add interest to the design and make best use of your trimmings and the natural drape of the fabric. For example, you may choose to add a yoke to a basic sheath skirt.
* Finalize and select the specific design elements that will give you the style you desire and draw style lines on the basic pattern pieces. Style lines are the lines drawn for the neck, bodice, waist, pockets and other details that will create the design vision you want. Take time to make sure the style lines make best use of the fabric and size of the doll. For 1/6 scale dolls you will want to keep excess seams to a minimum and use the lines in economical ways.
* Determine how many pattern pieces you will need and print them out.
* Mark stitching lines if necessary because this will give you a better idea of what the actual dimensions of the garment will be.
* Cut the pattern along the style lines. Tape pieces to a clean piece of paper and add necessary seam allowances. Also cut and spread adequately for pleats, gathers, tucks, etc.
* When cutting out the pattern fold along pleat, tucks, and dart lines and trim at cutting line. When pattern is opened there will be adequate room in the pattern to accommodate the needs of the detail. If you were to cut it straight the length of a dart, tuck or pleat may be too short.
* Use a lightweight muslin or cotton, preferably in white so as to see the grain lines, and sew up a fitting sample based on your transformed pattern.
* Fit the doll with your sample taking time to evaluate the fit and make sure the details are in proper proportion to the overall scale.
* It is sometimes good to put the doll and sample away for a day or two and then go back and check all the details again. You may find that you will have better ideas to add or make to the sample. Mark any adjustments right on the muslin and then remove from the doll.
* Make adjustments to the pattern. If necessary create a clean copy of the pattern after correcting so that only the essential stitching and cutting lines and style lines are marked.
If you had to make extensive alterations to the first sample take the time to make a second one to ensure that the pattern is ready for use. This extra step will ensure that the results will be neat and accurate and you can use the pattern again without reservation.
Transformation to A-Line Front Wrap with side ties, completely lined.
What You will need: Two complete skirt front, 1 skirt back pattern; sharpened pencils, clear plastic ruler, extra white paper, invisible tape.
* Mark the style lines and add additional cutting and sewing lines as needed. Also mark where snaps and ties will be sewn, as well as hem line and grain lines.
Tip: For the best possible shape keep the grain lines at center front and center back on the straight grain of the fabric.
* Please note: Style lines are drawn in red marker so they will be easier for you to see. If this were an actual pattern I�d recommend drawing them in pencil. The excess color from a marker could stain your fabric when the pattern is placed on it.
* A basic guideline to determine the creation of panels for wrap skirts is derived by dividing each pattern piece into quarters. This will help you better determine where to cut the pattern. For the sample I�ve decided that the front wrap panels can be 3/4 the total width of the front skirt.
* Frequently the under panel of a wrap skirt (here the left side) will have the hemline angled up so that it will not be visible from the bottom of the skirt. This will eliminate extra bulk from the hemline and keep it even.
Tip to create a pleasing flare and shape on an A-Line wrap skirt: Make your style lines for the over and under skirts wider at the hem and smaller at the waist. Here I made the lines 1� wide at the hem and 1/2� at the waist. This will keep the pieces in harmony with the width at waist and hem and preserve the A-Line shape.
* Tip to create a pleasing flare and shape on an A-Line wrap skirt: Make your style lines for the over and under skirts wider at the hem and smaller at the waist. Here I made the lines 1� wide at the hem and 1/2� at the waist. This will keep the pieces in harmony with the width at waist and hem and preserve the A-Line shape.
* The muslin sample showed that some adjustments were needed to the pattern: 1/16� had to be added to each side seam. Also, the left under panel of the skirt was not wide enough. The extra width needed was added to the pattern as shown above.
* After making all corrections a new, clean pattern was created by tracing over the revised pieces.
* Sewing tip for A-Line Front Wrap Skirts: Thread trace the center front lines for the over and under front skirt panels. After sewing snaps to the waist line, sew a small hook to the over panel and a thread loop to the underpanel at center front. This will keep Barbie�s skirt in place should you pose her sitting down.
Barbie is ready for a Spring weekend in the country in this neat, comfortable A-Line wrap skirt. To give the skirt some body it was lined using the same pattern pieces. The lining was stitched along the waist, hem, and right panel seam. The left panel seam was kept open and the skirt pulled through there. The openings were slip stitched together.
Note from Carol: Sabrina's work is wonderful! Here are photos of the skirt, outside and inside, so you can admire her craft!
From sheath skirt to front wrap straight skirt with yoke and pleats with side front closure.
You will need: 1 back skirt pattern (half as pieces will be placed on fold); 1 complete skirt front pattern, white paper, pencils, clear plastic ruler, invisible tape.
* Mark style lines in pencil (again, the red marker was used for illustrative purposes only) after determining the length of yoke and placement of pleats and where skirt will wrap.
* Cut the pattern pieces out. The left side will have an underlap so add 3/8� for the underlap, and then another 3/8� extension to fold under that.
* On the right overlap add 3/8� so that a fold can be created for that section.
* Construction tip for front wrap sheath skirts: An underlap of 3/8� will provide the right amount of space needed to sew your snaps and keep them from appearing outside the skirt. I found this out after making the underlap only 1/4� and sewing the snaps on the final version of the skirt! Always observe your results and make notes on improvements needed for the next time.
* Cut along lines 1 and 2 and spread open 3/4�. Mark the openings in half and mark as pleats. The pleats can be sewn as if they were tucks, about 1 - 1 1/4� long. After hemming and pressing the pleats can be stitched along their fold lines (on the very edge of the fold) from top to hem. This will hold the shape nicely and keep the shape fixed.
* Mark additional seam allowances and cutting lines for all pattern pieces and make a muslin sample.
* The muslin sample fit perfectly and no adjustments were needed (which does happen sometimes!). A copy of the pattern was made and used for the final garment. I always take this step because often the original pattern is full of tape, pencil marks and erasures. I find pinning a pattern that has tape on it results in your straight pins getting dull and/or gummy. This in turn can lead to snagging or damaging of your fabrics if the pins are used again.
* I lined the yoke of the skirt to create a neater finish.
Barbie is ready for a day at work or an afternoon luncheon appointment in this smart, flattering wrap skirt based on a style from the 1950s. The top is Pattern 118C from Real Clothes Vol. 2.
Again, photos of the skirt, outside and inside - so beautifully done!
I hope this brief look into the exciting world of pattern transformation will get you started on creating some unique styles of your own using Carol�s patterns as the starting point. Just remember that as with any process the principal of what I call �The Three Ps� will lead to greater skill and creativity in your designing. Patience, Perseverance and Practice will give you the experience and sense needed in learning where to apply style lines.
If you are interested in learning a little more about the process of pattern transformation for bodices and skirts I have some material that I could send you by email. The source is an old classroom handout used in the 1950s. Although the styles are very retro, the process of using style lines and pattern transformations is well illustrated and will deepen your knowledge on the subject. You may contact me at sabrina@voicenet.com for the scans. Please put �Pattern Transformation Scans� in the subject line.

Q: Check if last typed character was space How can I check inside my ng-change function if last typed character was a space?
ng-trim must be set to true.
I tired go to my last typed char by
myStr.substr(myStr.length - 1)

but when I was compared this to " " or something else it didn't work. I have to increment a counter when last character is a space, but I can't wait for another one.
EDIT:
I tired to count spaces, using ng-trim (so it isn't possible), so answers for this question are good when ng-trim is set to default - true.

A: You can check whether the text value ends with white space by the following regular-expression:
 /\s$/
/\s$/ means white space at the end of the string. \s includes tab too (\t) If you need only space use: / $/
JavaScript
var myStr = "some random string ";

if(/\s$/.test(myStr)) {
   // string contains space at last
} else {
   //string does not contain space at last
}

A: Use String.prototype.substr(start, from)
var str = "lego ";
str.substr(str.length-1, str.length-2)===" "
> true

Or even better use String.prototype.endsWith(value)
var str = "lego ";
str.endsWith(" ");
> true

A: HTML
<input ng-model="vm.value" ng-change="vm.onChange()">

JS
vm.value = '';

vm.counter = 0;

vm.onChange = function () {
    if (vm.value[vm.value.length - 1] === ' ') {
        vm.counter++;
    }
};


Last week CFO Magazine ran an article that posed a good question with the headline, "How Exposed is Your Data?" With stories of data breaches affecting tens of millions of people at a swipe, it's a fair question to ask but make no mistake: data security is not just for retailers. Data security is everyone's concern, no matter if you are an individual operating as a contractor/consultant, a startup with only a handful of people, or a multi-billion dollar public corporation operating across the globe. "How exposed is your data?" is a question that should be asked every day.
Yet, despite the constant reminders it seems that some organizations aren't taking the question seriously or have apparently given up, regarding money and effort spent as wasted in a futile fight to thwart both the bad guys and the careless. In a New York Times profile, security expert Brian Krebs said that while Target and Neiman Marcus have gotten most of the attention, other companies have been hit by major data breaches at the hands of the same cybercriminals but have yet to disclose the events.
An earlier article in CFO raised another problem confronting companies combating the data breach problem: passing the buck. No one wants to take responsibility for the problem. Executives assign titles and budgets, but regard themselves as above the rules (even though the information they have access to is among the most important and potentially damaging if exposed); IT departments implement the tools they are given to their best ability, knowing full well they'll take the blame when a weakness is exploited or a trust violated; and lower-level employees are asked—directly or indirectly—to be more productive in environments that are ill-prepared to keep information secure while on the move.
And we're all guilty to some degree.
A quick show of hands: Who out there has emailed information to a personal account in order to catch up on work from home or the road? Who out there has moved files to a USB thumb drive or mobile device in order to catch up on work from home or the road? Who out there has accidentally hit "reply all" or failed to notice when auto-complete filled in the wrong email address on a confidential email? Who out there has left a computer on in an open area of the workplace to grab a quick cup of coffee? Who out there has left their email alert on while projecting a PowerPoint presentation from their laptop?
We can wag our fingers and utter a tsk tsk when the next Target happens, and we can point fingers or complain about our circumstances, but that won't help when it's our turn at the data breach wheel. What will help is choosing today to better choices and take better care of those things within our control.
Even it we can't eliminate the risks of a data breach, we can minimize them. And each of us has an obligation to do that much.

Vanderbloemen October Update
BY Eric Morse
CATEGORIZED IN: Pastoral Search Committee
Tim Stevens, Vice President of Consulting at Vanderbloemen and the point-person for The Moody Church's search process, visited the Pastoral Search Committee at its October 2 meeting. Tim used his time with the Committee to give an update on Vanderbloemen's work so far, present two sample candidates, and overview the expected next steps.
Regarding Vanderbloemen's work so far, Tim noted:
Candidates have expressed a great respect for The Moody Church and feel humbled to be involved in the process.
The job posting has generated significant interest, including over 3,000 web visits, over 70 candidates who have been or will be reviewed by Vanderbloemen, and three interviews that have already been scheduled.
There are a few helpful factors that enable Vanderbloemen to narrow the search: our urban location, the size of our congregation, and our doctrinal statement.
There are currently six to eight candidates that they are looking at very closely.
Tim next presented two sample candidates to the Committee to get their reactions and feedback. In Vanderbloemen's experience, this feedback from the Committee is very valuable in adjusting and guiding the search going forward, helping to ensure that Vanderbloemen's search is leading them to candidates who are of particular interest to the Committee.
Regarding the expected next steps, once Vanderbloemen assembles a list of six to eight serious candidates:
Vanderbloemen will present the slate of candidates to the Committee, at which time the Committee can begin listening to sermons and researching the particular candidates.
The Committee will conduct 45-minute video calls with each of the candidates, likely eliminating one or two candidates at this point.
The Committee will then conduct two-hour video calls with the remaining candidates, likely eliminating an additional one or two candidates at this point.
The remaining candidates will then do on-site visits to our church, which will be used to choose a final candidate.
For more information on what happens once a final candidate has been identified, particularly regarding the role of the Congregation in the process, please read this previous blog post.

Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Holy See's Secretary for Relations with States, was speaking after an encounter with leaders of Pacific Island nations, who met with Pope Francis on their way to the Bonn conference.
Describing the 2015 Paris agreement as "near miraculous", Archbishop Gallagher said "The international community has rarely come together on an issue like this," but he added that accord is "only a beginning".
Impact of 'Laudato Sì'
He talked about the important impact of the pope's encyclical 'Laudato Sì' praising the many efforts and initiatives which have taken place since the publication of both the Paris agreement and the papal encyclical. He said there have been "literally thousands of initiatives making the teaching of encyclical known, but also […] reflecting on the fact that this is part of the church's teaching on a much wider issue [...] of integral human development."
Bigger picture of human development
Stressing the need for the Church to continue to be part of climate change discussions, the Archbishop said "This is something in which the Church is engaged because that is what religion is about. The Incarnation is God's commitment to humanity and we have to continue that commitment to securing the future of humanity, both spiritually and creating the conditions in which people can aspire to know God, to love God, to live together and love their neighbours".
Nations and individuals working together
Archbishop Gallagher noted that there are "dissident voices" but he said the Church is "looking forward to greater commitment both by the state parties", as well as individuals and organisations.
While the situation is very different in Pacific nations or in industrialised countries, he said, one of the great achievements of the Paris agreement was to bring together not just countries and the Holy See, but also Catholics organisations, dioceses and individuals, working together to reach local areas, "even in countries which are possibly modifying their position towards the agreement".
Need to change lifestyles
Archbishop Gallagher said the Church will continue to support the "great environmental warriors" but it must also "give a good example as well, which is not always easy".
He stressed the importance of lifestyle changes that are "demanded of all of us, whether it's just giving up using your plastic bags when you go to the supermarket, or modifying some part of your behaviour, recycling or using your car a little less and walking a little more", all of which can contribute to the work of combating climate change.

Q: System.out.println not working with numbers I have the following code:
    import java.util.Scanner;

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

    public class weatherCalc {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
            while (true) {
                int division = 8125/1000;
                Scanner in = new Scanner;
                System.out.println("How far, in inches, is it moving on a 50-mile = 0.75 in? (Please use decimels)");
                int weatherInput = in.nextInt();
                System.out.println("How long is the time period in hours? (Please use decimels)");
                int weatherTime = in.nextInt();
                int weatherOutput = weatherInput/division*50/weatherTime;
                System.out.println("The storm is travling at "+ weatherOutput +"MPH.");
            }
        }
    }

You see, the System in "System.out.println("How far, in inches, is it moving on a 50-mile = 0.75 in? (Please use decimels)");" is underlined with red along with the end of "Scanner in = new Scanner;" I can not figure out why, and am just trying to develop this for myself. I might later work on it a little. If anyone can tell me why, it would help a lot.

A: Scanner in = new Scanner;

should be:
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

A: Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

A: Your while loop should be like this: (watch the comments specified against each changed code)
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);//Move the Scanner declaration outside loop . Don't create it every-time within the loop.
while (true) {
  int division = 8125/1000;
  System.out.println("How far, in inches, is it moving on a 50-mile = 0.75 in? (Please use decimels)");
  int weatherInput = in.nextInt();
  System.out.println("How long is the time period in hours? (Please use decimels)");
  double weatherTime = in.nextDouble();//Take double value from input as u have specified that you want input in decimals.
  double weatherOutput = weatherInput/division*50/weatherTime;//Changed weatherOutput type to double so that you get the result in double.
  System.out.println("The storm is travling at "+ weatherOutput +"MPH.");
 }


Benedict Cumberbatch, Edie Falco, Hugh Dancy and Tony-nominee Tom Hollander were among the famous faces reading famous – or should-be-famous – correspondence from the past at Friday night's New York City debut of the two-night, Cumberbatch-produced Letters Live event, but it was an unbilled Rose McGowan reading her own incendiary and far-reaching "Dear Hollywood" missive from 2016 that gave an extra jolt to the show.
McGowan's appearance at Manhattan's Town Hall had been kept mostly under wraps – she tweeted a plug for the show a couple hours prior to the 8 pm start, but with no details – until the very moment the offstage announcer began the introductory remarks that preceded all of the performances, first describing the letter about to be read and then the actor who would read it.
The inclusion of the McGowan letter was altogether fitting in a show that celebrates what it calls "literary correspondence" – letters resurrected from history (last night's event included a Civil War soldier's heartbreaking note to the woman he knew would soon be his widow) and the internet (Cumberbatch himself recited – acted, really – the hilarious "Dear Empress Hotel" letter that went viral just last month when a Nova Scotia man sought forgiveness for a long-ago incident in which he'd trashed a hotel room by inadvertently letting in a flock of defecating, drooling seagulls).
Letters Live, first staged in 2013 at the Tabernacle in London and subsequently produced elsewhere in England, Edinburgh and Los Angeles, was created by publishing house Canongate, with film and TV production company SunnyMarch soon joining to stage various iterations to, in part, benefit local literacy charities. Some proceeds from the two-night-only New York stagings (the second is tonight at Town Hall, 8 p.m.) go to 826NYC, an after- and in-school youth writing program, and the Entertainment Industry Foundation, which "raises awareness and funds for critical health, educational and social issues by harnessing the collective power of the entertainment community." (Along with Cumberbatch, Jamie Byng is a producer).
Last night's performers included Cumberbatch, McGowan, Falco, Dancy, Hollander, Cynthia Erivo, Uzo Aduba, Ben Shenkman, Amber Tamblyn, David Harbour, Phillipa Soo, DeWanda Wise, Clarke Peters and Louise Brealey. Cast previously announced for the two-night run – each show is different – also include Ian McShane, James Earl Jones, Katie Holmes, Kyle MacLachlan, Laurence Fishburne and Molly Ringwald, along with surprises.
At nearly three hours, Letters Live can be a bit too much of a good thing – an intermissionless two hours might be ideal – and anyone can quibble with some of the choices (I'd have rather Cumberbatch chosen to close the show with something other than Rebel Without a Cause screenwriter Stewart Stern's overwrought, humblebrag letter of condolence to James Dean's family), but the show's quiet-brilliant concept, the cast's enthusiasm and some words truly deserving of remembrance make Letters Live worth writing home.

Cyrus Mistry may not rejoin Tata conglomerate
The former chairman of Tata Sons is unlikely to take a board position, but he might appoint nominee directors
Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry, who had sweet revenge after a company law court delivered a verdict against his unceremonious ouster three years ago, is unlikely to rejoin the salt-to-software conglomerate.
Last week the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal reinstated Mistry as chairman of Tata Sons and three other group companies.
But Mistry is unlikely to take up a board position at any Tata companies, the Business Standard reported, quoting sources. He has only five months left of his tenure as chairman of Tata Sons and might appoint nominee directors to ensure best practices of corporate governance at Tata group companies, the daily added.
While ordering Mistry's reinstatement, the appellate tribunal also ruled that the appointment of N Chandrasekaran as the head of holding company Tata Sons was illegal.
It also quashed the conversion of Tata Sons – the principal holding company and promoter of Tata firms – into a private company from a public firm and termed it as "illegal."
The tribunal has given Tata a month to implement the order and the latter is expected to challenge it in the Supreme Court.
Mistry, a scion of the wealthy Shapoorji Pallonji family, was removed as Chairman of Tata Sons in October 2016 in a boardroom coup. He was the sixth chairman of Tata Sons and had taken over in 2012 after Ratan Tata. He was later also removed as director of the Tata Sons board.
Mistry and Ratan Tata reportedly had a difference of opinion over key investment decisions, including manufacturing of the world's cheapest car, the Nano. Despite the low cost, car buyers in India did not warm to this small car and sales remained lackluster.
The company has not rolled out a single car in the first nine months of this year, but it is yet to officially announce its closure. Tata Motors has admitted that in its current form the Tata Nano is unlikely to fulfill the forthcoming emission norms – the Bharat Stage VI, which is expected to be more stringent than the current one.
Mistry was appointed after a long, drawn-out selection process. When he took over he was 44, the youngest to occupy the corner office of Bombay House, the headquarters of Tata group.
Mistry has been fighting against his removal in the National Company Law Tribunal. In July last year, the tribunal rejected Mistry's petition to reinstate him and found no merit in his allegations of operational mismanagement and the oppression of minority shareholders.
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal had reserved its judgment after the completion of arguments from both sides in July this year and last week it passed the verdict in Mistry's favor.
Mistry is the younger son of billionaire Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry. His brother Shapoor Mistry runs Eureka Forbes. The family is one of the largest shareholders of Tata Sons with its estimated 18.4% equity.
Tata Sons Private Limited is the principal holding company of the Tata group and is the majority shareholder and promoter of most Tata group companies including Tata Motors, Tata Steel and Titan. Philanthropic trusts, the two primary ones being Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan Tata Trust, hold 66% of the equity share capital of Tata Sons.
In a related development, the Indian government has approached the appellate tribunal seeking a modification in its order in the Tata Sons matter. The Registrar of Companies has requested the appellate tribunal to remove the word "illegal" with respect to the conversion of Tata Sons from a public company to a private company.
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal will hear the matter on January 2.
In its petition, the registrar said the conduct of its Mumbai branch was not illegal and was done according to the provisions of the Companies Act along with the rules.

Google has launched a new Chrome extension that warns you if your login credentials for any website have been involved in a data dump from other services.
Password Checkup, as the extension is called, sits in your browser waiting for you to log into any website. If it detects that your username and password combination are unsafe, due to their appearance on some internet data dumping ground, it will tell you that you should change the password.
It's worth noting that to secure its own services Google has already worked to thwart credential dumps. As part of that effort, the company may reset Google Account passwords if someone has reused a username or password on another site that has been subsequently hacked. But now it's doing the same thing for third-party sites.
Warding off data-privacy questions this new tool could raise, Google is quick to point out that it developed Password Checkup in conjunction with "cryptography experts" from Stanford University. This step was taken to ensure that "Google never learns your username or password, and that any breach data stays safe from wider exposure," according to a company blog post.
A number of services already exist to warn you if your login credentials have been leaked. Have I Been Pwned? (HIBP), for example, offers a database of breaches that allows you to check whether one of your online accounts has been compromised. Mozilla recently partnered with HIBP for Firefox Monitor, which serves as a rebranded version of the main HIBP database. And there are other similar extensions out there, such as PassProtect, which searches the HIBP database for previous breaches involving your credentials.
But Google is Google, and anything it develops is likely to gain far more exposure as a result.
