At T Bridge Venture Partners, we have not limited ourselves to just one country. Instead, we have invested in companies in Asia, Europe, the UK, Africa, and the Americas. There are three things we look for in a startup before investing.
The first is potential. By ensuring that the company tackles a key problem in the industry, we ensure that it has growth potential. By investing in such a promising company, we can guarantee success.
The second factor we look for in a company is competence. We ensure that the founding team has all the knowledge and information it requires to achieve its vision realistically. This includes the knowledge of the market they are trying to get into. They should also have an understanding of the full extent of the problem they are trying to solve with their product.
The last factor we look for in a startup is a sense of clear identity. For a company to be successful, it should have a clear understanding of how it can impact the sector it is
trying to revolutionize. All of these factors combined help us determine if it is beneficial to invest in a startup we are interested in.

These were the bands who were described by British officers as "our chivalrous brigand-allies." It is good to bear these facts in mind when judging of the present state of this province, for the traces of such a reign of terror are not easily expunged. Good, also, to remember that this was the period of the highest spiritual eminence to which South Italy has ever attained.

With so much information about mortgages available it's easy to get overwhelmed by conflicting reports, but taking on a mortgage and choosing a mortgage broker shouldn't be confusing. To help you understand the basics of home loans, the following information should help you enter into your mortgage agreement with more confidence and the right research behind you to help you choose the best possible mortgage deal.
Variable home loans are among the most popular loan product around. Why? It's all about the repayment flexibility and extra account features.
If you choose a variable home loan, your interest rate will increase or decrease in line with fluctuations set by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and pressures on individual banks funding lines. Talking to an experienced mortgage broker to fully explain what this means for your budget will help you understand if it's the best home loan option for you.
Choosing a fixed rate means you enjoy the stability of knowing exactly what your loan repayments are each week/fortnight/month over an agreed loan term.
When your mortgage is a fixed rate home loan, your interest rate is fixed for a set period – typically one, three or five years.
Fixed rate loans rarely offer offset facilities, but there are a few exceptions.
Splitting the loan gives you the best of both worlds – choosing to pay some of your home loan back with a fixed interest rate, then dealing with the rest on a variable rate. The proportions of the split are up to you. if the interest rates do change, only the variable component of your mortgage will be affected.
This is a maximum limit that your lender will allow you to maintain. You are then able to draw down on the line of credit at any time, as long as you don't exceed the agreed maximum.
One key benefit to having a line of credit is that you only pay interest on the drawn amount. It's one reason it's a popular choice for investors who want access to equity from one property to use as a deposit for another property.
There are loans that enable you to buy within your self-managed super fund (SMSF). Talk to your trusted mortgage broker to see if you qualify and make sure you understand the limitations and all the set-up costs.
This is the amount of money you borrow from your chosen lender when you take out a home loan.
This is the fee your chosen lender charges you for the opportunity to utilise their money.
This refers to the relationship between the amount of money you borrow, and the value of the property you buy.
Typically, a lender will demand you have a 20% deposit, leaving them to lend 80% of the property value. If your deposit is less than 20%, you are usually required to take out lender's mortgage insurance (LMI).
This is a one-off insurance payment that protects your lender if you default on your repayments.
By creating an offset account that links to your salary or incoming funds, your credit balance is offset daily against your outstanding loan balance. This helps to reduce the interest payable on your home loan.
By making extra repayments on a variable rate mortgage, you can have the option to redraw that additional money if you need it. Talk to your mortgage broker to understand your options and compare to an offset account.
First-home buyers often access this option that enables a family member to offer their property as additional security to your home loan. Even if your family member already has their own existing mortgage, they may be able to take a second mortgage. Legal advice around this option is critical for all involved parties.
For more information about how to apply for a mortgage and what mortgage might be best for you, talk to our home loan experts at Lending Specialists.

Gopher Gala Job Board
Gopher Gala 2015: Post-Mortem
It's been a few weeks since the Gala ended and the winners were announced, so we wanted to write a blog post about how the competition went and what some of our takeaways are for the future.
First, some fun facts:
Over 800 people originally registered for the Gala
Over 250 teams requested repositories to use for the event
128 teams submitted something for judging
People participated in 19 in-person events around the world
Our page announcing the winners hit #3 on Hacker News and stayed there for awhile
All in all, we're really happy with the way the Gala went and the quality of the apps that were built during the weekend. It was especially great to see people create things beyond the typical web app, such as command line tools and even a native application or two.
That being said, here are a few of the things we're planning to do to improve for the next Gala:
Reach out to local Go user groups earlier. As the whole competition came together in about 10 weeks, there wasn't a ton of time to reach people on a grassroots level. That being said, a few of our local HQs were able to generate local interest by reaching out to universities and developer meetups, and we'd like to expand upon this in the future.
Generate more feedback in the judging process. This year, there wasn't a good way for people to comment and leave feedback on each others' apps, which may have left people who didn't make it into the top 20 wondering about how their app was received. There was some discussion in Slack, but for next year, we want to incorporate comments and discussions directly into the judging process so that everyone gets some feedback on what they built.
Publish resources for beginners in the weeks leading up to the hackathon. We had a number of people participate in the Gala who were new to Go and wanted to get their feet wet, so in the future, we'd like to compile a list of useful articles, tutorials, and libraries that beginners can use to get up and running quickly.
If you have any other feedback for ways we can improve the Gala for the future, please fill out this form or shoot us an email.
Looking forward to seeing you all at next year's Gopher Gala!

Afrojack Teams Up with Martin Garrix for "Turn Up The Speakers"
Miguel Tost July 31, 2014
Dutch HouseEDM NewsFeaturedHousePreviews
After the folly of Forget The World, Afrojack has been bouncing back with his remixes of "Do Or Die" by Thirty Seconds To Mars, "Forever Love" by Robin Thicke, and "Young & Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey. But now he previews his first new original project since his debut album came out about three months ago. The collaboration is called "Turn Up The Speakers" and made with the one and only Martin Garrix.
Although there are only previews on Nick van de Wall's and Martin's SoundCloud, "Turn Up The Speakers" doesn't exactly sound like a thought provoking song that would capture the interests of the more sophisticated music fans. After all this is the music-baby of the guy who made "Take Over Control" and that youngster who made "Animals" or the main-stage staple of every set of 2013. But don't let recent history and your biases turn you away from this track.
This is the closest thing to non-pop Afrojack since his releases "Musician", "Jack That Body", "Peanuts" (the latter being a free release). The melody sounds like something we would hear in Martin Garrix tracks like "Proxy", "Wizard", and "Tremor" (both with Jay Hardway and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike respectively). It takes the style of Afrojack from his Dutch house productions before 2013 with the modern update and assistance from a fellow Dutchman. Although many music critics would love to pounce on and tear apart, "Turn Up The Speakers" is a song I would turn up the speakers too if the situation calls for a fist-pumping mood.
Check out the preview below and let us know if you agree or think other wise on "Turn Up The Speakers" by Afrojack and Martin Garrix.

Split wave: Component for neuromorphic computer
Source: Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf
Neural networks are some of the most important tools in artificial intelligence (AI): they mimic the operation of the human brain and can reliably recognize texts, language and images, to name but a few. So far, they run on traditional processors in the form of adaptive software, but experts are working on an alternative concept, the "neuromorphic computer." In this case, the brain's switching points -- the neurons -- are not simulated by software but reconstructed in hardware components. A team of researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has now demonstrated a new approach to such hardware -- targeted magnetic waves that are generated and divided in micrometer-sized wafers. Looking to the future, this could mean that optimization tasks and pattern recognition could be completed faster and more energy efficiently. The researchers have presented their results in the journal Physical Review Letters.
The team based its investigations on a tiny disc of the magnetic material iron nickel, with a diameter just a few micrometers wide. A gold ring is placed around this disc: When an alternating current in the gigahertz range flows through it, it emits microwaves that excite so-called spin waves in the disc. "The electrons in the iron nickel exhibit a spin, a sort of whirling on the spot rather like a spinning top," Helmut Schultheiß, head of the Emmy Noether Group "Magnonics" at HZDR, explains. "We use the microwave impulses to throw the electron top slightly off course." The electrons then pass on this disturbance to their respective neighbors -- which causes a spin wave to shoot through the material. Information can be transported highly efficiently in this way without having to move the electrons themselves, which is what occurs in today's computer chips.
Back in 2019, the Schultheiß group discovered something remarkable: under certain circumstances, the spin wave generated in the magnetic vortex can be split into two waves, each with a reduced frequency. "So-called non-linear effects are responsible for this," explains Schultheiß's colleague Lukas Körber. "They are only activated when the irradiated microwave power crosses a certain threshold." Such behavior suggests spin waves as promising candidates for artificial neurons because there is an amazing parallel with the workings of the brain: these neurons also only fire when a certain stimulus threshold has been crossed.
Microwave decoy
At first, however, the scientists were unable to control the division of the spin wave very precisely. Körber explains why: "When we sent the microwave into the disc, there was a time lag before the spin wave divided into two new waves. And this was difficult to control." So, the team had to think up a way around the problem, which they have now described in the Physical Review Letters: In addition to the gold ring, a small magnetic strip is attached close to the magnetic wafer. A short microwave signal generates a spin wave in this strip which can interact with the spin wave in the wafer and thus act as a kind of decoy. The spin wave in the strip causes the wave in the wafer to divide faster. "A very short additional signal is sufficient to make the split happen faster," Körber explains. "This means we can now trigger the process and control the time lag."
Which also means that, in principle, it has been proven that spin wave wafers are suitable for artificial hardware neurons -- they switch similarly to nerve cells in the brain and can be directly controlled. "The next thing we want to do is build a small network with our spin wave neurons," Helmut Schultheiß announces. "This neuromorphic network should then perform simple tasks such as recognizing straightforward patterns."
Facial recognition and traffic optimization Pattern recognition is one of the major applications of AI. Facial recognition on a smartphone, for instance, obviates the necessity for a password. In order for it to work, a neural network must be trained in advance, which involves huge computing power and massive amounts of data. Smartphone manufacturers transfer this network to a special chip that is then integrated in the cell phone. But the chip has a weakness. It is not adaptive, so cannot recognize faces wearing a Covid mask, for example.
A neuromorphic computer, on the other hand, could also deal with situations like this: in contrast to conventional chips, its components are not hard wired but function like nerve cells in the brain. "Because of this, a neuromorphic computer could process big volumes of data at once, just like a human -- and very energy efficiently at that," Schultheiß enthuses. Apart from pattern recognition, the new type of computer could also prove useful in another economically relevant field: for optimization tasks such as high-precision smartphone route planners.


'They plan to kill you all! You must get out!' With that warning John Paton and his friends grabbed what little possessions they had and fled into the jungle. The Warrior Chief of Tanna was taking revenge on the mission man who threatened his power and the hold he had over the ordinary men and women of the island. John has to run for his life! In the heat and humidity of the South Sea Island, John G Paton is far away from his Scottish home. And as he runs for his life he is thinking of rescue... a rescue for himself from the dangers all around and a rescue for the thousands of South Sea Islanders who still don't know about Jesus Christ and the love of God.

Refurbished in April 2014 to a high standard resulting in lots of exposed brickwork, wooden or mosaic flooring, this dark L-shaped multi-levelled pub with part-white, part-purple ceiling is now a Castle branded M&B establishment. Walls are adorned with photos of Ealing, some surreal in nature and also include a print of the former drapers that used to occupy this shop unit. Furnished in the usual modern style of a mixture of high tables and sofas. Whilst there is a reasonably wide selection of real ales, the guests are priced around £4,20-£4,30 a pint making it and sister pub the North Star the most expensive in Ealing. Craft keg beers from Meantime and Camden are also available. Quiz night Tuesdays from 8pm.

Q: Finding whole number solutions to a double inequality I'm looking for a fast method to find an $(x, y)$ integer solution to a double inequality.
Given an A between $0$ and $1$:
$$
{y \over x^2} < A < {y \over x^2 - 1}
$$

For example, given A = 0.017 the first solution I can find is (106, 191) and only by brute force...
trying from $$x = [2, +\infty] \\ y = [1, x]$$

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Also, apologies for any poor maths terminologies I have used.

A: Since the question leaves several questions unresolved, such as 1) what does fast mean (except not brute force), 2) what are values of A, 3) how accurate are values of A (to three decimal places?), and 4) if you are doing this manually or writing a program, this answer may, at best, help (but isn't necessarily a solution).
To use the example, you want values of $17x^2\;mod\;1000$ that are small. In the case of $106$ the value of that expression is $12$. For all values of $8 \leq x < 106$ the value is at least $33$.
When you find a value of $x$ where the value of the expression is small, you can then see if it satisfies the inequalities ($y$ will be $floor(Ax^2)$). So you are still brute forcing $x$, but you are skipping the calculation of $y$ and the inequalities for most cases.
To further optimize you could skip a few values at time. For example, say that you are iterating through $x$ and it is currently $40$. The remainder will be $200$ (in the example). The remainder for the difference $41$ and $42$ will be $((41+42)*17\;mod\;1000) = 377$. The remainder for the difference between $42$ and $43$ will be $377+2*17=411$. Since $200+377+411 < 1000$ you could skip checking $x=41,42$. In other words you could skip from $40$ to $43$.

Q: Writing plsql exception errors to DMBS_OUTPUT and FND_FILE job log I have a MERGE/UPDATE statement.  I want to add exception handling such that if the update fails for any reason, write to DBMS_output and job log.  I've come up with something - it compiles OK, but doesn't seem to work.
I removed the MAX(date) and group by so that the program complies but the query itself is failing with 'unable to get a stable set of rows' - and yet no exception is being triggered.
Appreciate any recommendations.
MERGE INTO xxcb_RTL_inbnd_shipments_iface A
USING (select DISTINCT aa.shipment_line_id,aa.transaction_type,aa.last_update_date --max(aa.last_update_date)
       from rcv_transactions aa

       where aa.transaction_type='DELIVER'
           AND bb.interface_status='RELEASED'
       --group by aa.shipment_line_id,aa.transaction_type
) B ON (a.shipment_line_id=b.shipment_line_id)
when matched then update set a.interface_status='CLOSED'
                            ,a.interface_last_update=sysdate
                            ,a.interface_update_by='ORACLE'

                           DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE);

A: I got this to work after moving the DBMS_OUTPUT commands above the FND_FILE commands.  Initially I was not testing through concurrent. I think the FND_FILE commands running before the DBMS_OUTPUTwas causing the exception to not run DBMS_OUTPUT
Removing the aggregation allowed the program to still compile but also generate a run time error.
The FND_FILE commands only work through concurrent.
By the way for those not in the know, FORMAT_ERROR_STACK give something like ORA-30926: unable to get a stable set of rows in the source tables' and FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE gives ORA-06512: at "ORA-06512: at "APPS.procedureName", line 21

Fields medalist Klaus Roth (1925-2015) has left a fortune to health charities
Klaus Roth, Britain's first Fields Medalist, who died last year at the age of 90, has left over £1.3 mln to the charities Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland and MacMillan Cancer Support in Inverness, Scotland. How wonderful to read not only about a life full of mathematics, but also that is has been rewarded financially. It is not so often that I read of a successful professional mathematician who has passed away in their old age, and with a substantial fortune.
Roth's life story is fascinating. One of the many British scientists of German origin, Klaus Friedrich Roth was born in Breslau (today Poland) in 1925 and came to Britain as a 8-year old child in 1933 with his Jewish-German parents. He went to St.Paul's school in London and then studied mathematics in Cambridge. He was good at maths, but his anxiety during exams was so bad that he graduated with a 3rd class degree and his tutor advised him to "some commercial job with a statistical bias". So Roth taught maths at school (Gordonstoun, in Scotland) for a year and then was accepted onto a Masters course at UCL. He went on to become a lecturer at UCL after completing his Masters. Times were different. Today he might not have made it to a MMath course so easily, let alone receive a lectureship so soon after. He would have had to move countries many times before having a shot at getting a permanent job somewhere.
Author: unknown. Source: http://chalkdustmagazine.com/biographies/klaus-roth/, fair use https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6107386
Klaus Roth went on to make important contributions to number theory (analytic theory of numbers and more precisely Diophantine approximation) and to live happily with his wife, Dr Melek Khairy, until her death in 2002. Pity the article in the Scotsman mentions only the lovely story of how they met (classroom romance! she attended his lectures at UCL), and that they did not have children, but omits the fact Dr Khairy was a medical and experimental psychologist at Imperial College London. Plenty of happy marriages in their generation were composed of an academic husband and a homemaker wife, with or without offspring. But when someone, especially a woman, of that generation isn't a homemaker, this is worth mentioning. In fact I assumed that until I googled her name for no particular reason, only to come across a bunch of paper she had published in the 1950s and 60s.
Another relevant biographical detail is that she died of cancer in 2002. After her death Roth moved to live in a nursing home in Inverness. This may be why he felt so committed to the cause of health and cancer support in particular.
In the book Art in the Life of Mathematicians (edited by Anna Kepes Szemerédi and viewable on google books) there is a chapter written by the editor which is entitled "Conversations with Klaus Roth" (pp. 249-253). Klaus and Melek were avid dancers and loved Latin music and Mahler.
Klaus Roth got the Fields Medal in 1958 for his contribution to the Thue-Siegel theorem. Roth's theorem proves that any irrational algebraic number has an approximation exponent equal to two (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thue%E2%80%93Siegel%E2%80%93Roth_theorem).

Between 1100 and 1700, the menu of the 'Belgians' mostly consisted of cereal products and occasionally some exotic ingredients, like honey from Spain or cloves from Indonesia. Researcher Koen Deforce (RBINS) analysed pollen that were collected in ancient Flemish cesspits.
Neandertals that lived near the Belgian caverns of Goyet were cannibals. Several bones show cut marks and percussion marks. It is the first evidence of Neandertal cannibalism in northern Europe.
An international team of palaeontologists and geologists have dug up 54 million year old fossils in India. The fossils are from mammals, birds and reptiles, including a newly discovered giant snake.
Scientists have found constructions in a cave in the south west of France that are 176,500 years old. This makes them among the oldest known human constructions. Neanderthals built structures with broken stalagmites and used them as fireplaces.

Singleton Council offers scholarships to get kids back into sport after coronavirus
6 November 2020 Alyssa
Parents whose incomes have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic are being encouraged to apply for a Kids in Sport Scholarship to help get their children back into sport this summer.
Singleton Council has partnered with Singleton Family Support and the Bloomfield Group to deliver one hundred $100 vouchers for vulnerable local families, available in addition to the NSW Government's Active Kids vouchers.
Council's Director Organisation and Community Capacity, Vicki Brereton, said the Kids in Sport Scholarship was another component of the Council's $2 million Community Support Package.
"With local households cutting back where they can afford to, we want to make sure that sport continues to be an essential part of every child's life by making it a bit more affordable for parents who need some help with membership or the associated costs of participating in sport," Vicki said.
"We know how important organised sport is to the health and wellbeing of our kids, as well as for social interaction, and that has never been better demonstrated than during COVID-19.
"Giving kids the opportunity to get back out onto the sporting field, court, track, or in the pool, with their friends, is extremely important. Best of all, the Kids in Sport Scholarship will not only help struggling families but also provide a mini-stimulus to our local economy."
Operations Manager at The Bloomfield Group owned Rix's Creek Mine, Brendon Clements said it was wonderful to be part of an initiative that supports Hunter families.
"Sport is a big part of Singleton and we're proud to provide assistance for programs that support the health and wellbeing of kids in our community," he said.
With Council and the Bloomfield Group partnering to sponsor the scholarship, Vicki said the team at Singleton Family Support would administer the program, including reviewing applications against the scholarship guidelines.
"Singleton Family Support are a very important organisation delivering essential support services and programs for local families—we are very grateful to be able to utilise their expertise and, with the backing of the Bloomfield Group, offer $10,000 worth of scholarships to our community," she said.
"The Kids in Sport Scholarship is another fantastic initiative of Council's Community Support Package, designed to help our local economy recover and get life back to normal as much as possible.
"I whole-heartedly encourage any family doing it tough to take a look at the guidelines and consider this opportunity if it suits their needs."
The Kids in Sport Scholarship can be used towards a sporting club registration, equipment and uniforms.

Who will head the ex-PMs' club?
IN the editorial "Raja of encroachers" (March 29) you rightly called Mr V.P. Singh an "out of job Raja of Manda". Is he heading the club of the jobless former PMs or would he leave it for India's Julius Caesar, Mr Chandra Shekhar?
Four zeroes — VP, Shekhar, Gujral and Gowda — rather any number of zeroes can't make one. All of them are struggling for survival. These odd men of Indian politics dub the Congress an ineffective opposition. The Congress has competent leaders like Madhavrao Scindia, N.D. Tewari, Digvijay Singh, Najma Heptullah, Mohsina Kidwai et al.
And these four ants dare take on the elephant called NDA headed by a charismatic, clean and modest Atal Behari Vajpayee who could handle President Bill Clinton from a position of strength and who could goad Mr Clinton to talk tough with Gen Pervez Musharraf.
Mr H.D. Deve Gowda faced defeat in the Lok Sabha election. A one-time minion in Mr R.K. Hegde's Cabinet, the poor farmer's son should better leave Delhi to serve his tribe in Karnataka. A Janata Party CM of Haryana, Mr Bhajan Lal, gifted the sprawling Bhondsi Ashram to Mr Shekhar who was then the Janata Party President. How shameful indeed!
Mr Narasimha Rao purchased MPs to keep himself alive. Mr Inder Gujral purchased Mr Parkash Singh Badal through hefty sums as aid to Punjab. Had the BJP, an ally of SAD, fielded a candidate from Jalandhar, its stronghold, where Mr Gujral would have been? Anybody's guess.
And Mr V.P. Singh mandalised the polity, barely two days ahead of Mr Devi Lal's kisan rally in Delhi, to save his skin. A hundred plus students made a bonfire of them. Girls were pulled down by hair from buses going to PM's residence and dragged on the road with their faces bleeding. But not one tear flowed down the eyes of V.P. Singh.
None of these has even one follower at the central or state levels even when a Mayawati and an O.P. Chautala has quite a few of them. Better these zeroes massage their tired limbs and go to bed.

Death sentence for rape
In The Tribune under the heading "NCW rejects death for rape" a brief report of the National Commission for Women has been published, based on its recommendations on rape laws to the Government.
Our politicians from time to time at the spur of a moment and usually to assuage the feelings of the public when a gruesome case of rape is reported, advocate death sentence for the crime. But this report has been prepared after wide ranging consultations with experts, women activists, counsellors, psychologists and the police. The report does not advocate death sentence for rape. Punishment for rape, of course, has to be severe to act as a deterrent. Law should be amended in such a way that whatever punishment it prescribes, it must be a certainty and speedy. At present conviction rate is just 4 per cent. This has to be high and suitable amendments in law are required for it to be so. Proponents of death penalty on the other hand have favoured death sentence in gruesome case such as gang rape and the rape of a minor.
For the victim of rape what is more important is the social stigma. The life of the victim is permanently ruined. The law must address these problems also in addition to a deterrent punishment to the rapist. I also hold the view that counselling, compensation and rehabilitation of the victim are definitely more important than just punishing the culprit.

Inhuman act
The gunning down of 35 Kashmiri Sikhs in Chittisinghpora (Anantnag) has shocked the entire nation. This most inhuman and cowardly act of the Kashmiri terrorists proves beyond any doubt that they are not fighting a holy war. They are butchering humanity itself. Our Central Government is again busy using brave words but only words can't checkmate the growing terror of these friends of Pakistan. Only concrete steps can halt their pernicious march in the valley.
The Sikhs living in villages should be immediately provided with weapons. They are brave people and the entire nation believes in their fighting spirit. The heartless, cruel and callous militants understand only the language of force and the field must not be left open for them. We have to engage them in face-to-face fight round the clock in every street of the valley. There is no other way out.

Bad roads
You are welcome to the land of Five Rivers", "Please visit Again" One often reads these signboards while passing through the rich land but poor roads of Punjab. Above banners are displayed prominently, rather very prominently, on the roads, particularly the main/G.T. Roads to attract visitors — both Indian as well as foreigners. But the present state of affairs of the roads is such that whosoever travels once on these roads, can hardly afford to visit again.
The condition of interior roads is very miserable. One can find ponds of water here and there. These potholes are great risk to the visitors and the vehicles. Elected representatives hardly care to get these roads repaired, even though they make lots of promises to the voters during the election campaigns.
If the Punjab Government is really interested in giving a boost to the tourism industry it must take care of all roads. Besides the government must also ensure that roadside dhabas do not charge exorbitantly. Instead they must display their rates prominently for the convenience of visitors. Hotels/dhabas not displaying their rates prominently must be fined and their licence (if it exists) be cancelled. These are points which can give boost to the tourism industry in Punjab besides other numerous steps — provided the government is interested sincerely.

Although the country remains outside the European Union to maintain its neutrality, Switzerland does enjoy extensive trade with its European neighbors, the United States, and other countries around the world. Switzerland is also home to large multinational corporations such as the banking giants, UBS (NYSE:UBS) and Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS), and the consumer products company, Nestle.
Switzerland's currency plays an important role in the international capital markets. Because of Switzerland's historic political neutrality and reputation for stable and discreet banking, the Swiss franc is commonly viewed as a safe haven in international capital markets. As such, many investors prefer to hold a portion of their assets in the Swiss franc. Many other traders flee to the safety of the Swiss franc during times of international turmoil. Therefore, when volatility appears in the financial markets, investors often bid up the Swiss franc at the expense of other currencies.
Although it is somewhat less liquid than the euro and the pound, the Swiss franc is still an easy currency to trade. In April 2016, the Swiss franc was on one side of 4.8% of all trades, which is substantial when you consider the overall size of the forex market.The factor most likely to cause large movements in the value of the Swiss franc is international political and economic instability. When either political or economic turmoil increases, investors flee to the perceived safety of the Swiss franc. When volatility decreases, the Swiss franc typically sees less interest from traders and investors.
While the Swiss franc often does rise against most other currencies during volatile periods, forecasting the relative performance of the Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar can be difficult, because the U.S. dollar is also viewed as a safe haven during times of turmoil. Therefore, it is not always easy to determine whether the Swiss franc or the U.S. dollar will be the preferred source of safety during an international crisis. Since each crisis is unique, a determination must be made as to whether the Swiss franc or the U.S. dollar is the preferred option for investors seeking safety.
Is The Swiss Franc A Good Investment?
Individual investors, businesses, financial institutions and even countries have been keeping their money in Swiss francs.
Is The Swiss Franc A Safe Haven?
We examine when and why there are runs on Swiss francs.

Find out what you need to know before you start trading the Swiss franc.
Switzerland's tax haven allure is being threatened by efforts by the US and other governments to make Swiss banks give up their much-vaunted secrecy.
Will Bitcoin Become the new "Swiss Bank Account"?
As Swiss banks become reluctant to open secret accounts for Americans, some of these banks are turning to Bitcoin as a workaround measure.

Positive Dissociation, and its Importance: "Losing Yourself" in a Fictional Character Can Affect Your Real Life
Tue, 08 May 2012 00:42 UTC
© Unknown
When you "lose yourself" inside the world of a fictional character while reading a story, you may actually end up changing your own behavior and thoughts to match that of the character, a new study suggests.
Researchers at Ohio State University examined what happened to people who, while reading a fictional story, found themselves feeling the emotions, thoughts, beliefs and internal responses of one of the characters as if they were their own - a phenomenon the researchers call "experience-taking."
They found that, in the right situations, experience-taking may lead to real changes, if only temporary, in the lives of readers.
In one experiment, for example, the researchers found that people who strongly identified with a fictional character who overcame obstacles to vote were significantly more likely to vote in a real election several days later.
"Experience-taking can be a powerful way to change our behavior and thoughts in meaningful and beneficial ways," said Lisa Libby, co-author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University.
There are many ways experience-taking can affect readers.
In another experiment, people who went through this experience-taking process while reading about a character who was revealed to be of a different race or sexual orientation showed more favorable attitudes toward the other group and were less likely to stereotype.
"Experience-taking changes us by allowing us to merge our own lives with those of the characters we read about, which can lead to good outcomes," said Geoff Kaufman, who led the study as a graduate student at Ohio State. He is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Tiltfactor Laboratory at Dartmouth College.
Their findings appear online in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and will be published in a future print edition.
Experience-taking doesn't happen all the time. It only occurs when people are able, in a sense, to forget about themselves and their own self-concept and self-identity while reading, Kaufman said. In one experiment, for example, the researchers found that most college students were unable to undergo experience-taking if they were reading in a cubicle with a mirror.
"The more you're reminded of your own personal identity, the less likely you'll be able to take on a character's identity," Kaufman said.
"You have to be able to take yourself out of the picture, and really lose yourself in the book in order to have this authentic experience of taking on a character's identity."
In the voting study, 82 undergraduates who were registered and eligible to vote were assigned to read one of four versions of a short story about a student enduring several obstacles on the morning of Election Day (such as car problems, rain, long lines) before ultimately entering the booth to cast a vote. This experiment took place several days before the 2008 November presidential election.
Some versions were written in first person ("I entered the voting booth) while some were written in third person ("Paul entered the voting booth"). In addition, some versions featured a student who attended the same university as the participants, while in other versions, the protagonist in the story attended a different university.
After reading the story, the participants completed a questionnaire that measured their level of experience-taking - how much they adopted the perspective of the character in the story. For example, they were asked to rate how much they agreed with statements like "I found myself feeling what the character in the story was feeling" and "I felt I could get inside the character's head."
The results showed that participants who read a story told in first-person, about a student at their own university, had the highest level of experience-taking. And a full 65 percent of these participants reported they voted on Election Day, when they were asked later.
In comparison, only 29 percent of the participants voted if they read the first-person story about a student from a different university.
"When you share a group membership with a character from a story told in first-person voice, you're much more likely to feel like you're experiencing his or her life events," Libby said. "And when you undergo this experience-taking, it can affect your behavior for days afterwards."
While people are more likely to lose themselves in a character who is similar to themselves, what happens if they don't learn that a character is not similar until later in a story?
In one experiment, 70 male, heterosexual college students read a story about a day in the life of another student. There were three versions - one in which the character was revealed to be gay early in the story, one in which the student was identified as gay late in the story, and one in which the character was heterosexual.
Results showed that the students who read the story where the character was identified as gay late in the narrative reported higher levels of experience-taking than did those who read the story where the character's homosexuality was announced early.
"If participants knew early on that the character was not like them - that he was gay - that prevented them from really experience-taking," Libby said.
"But if they learned late about the character's homosexuality, they were just as likely to lose themselves in the character as were the people who read about a heterosexual student."
Even more importantly, the version of the story participants read affected how they thought about gays.
Those who read the gay-late narrative reported significantly more favorable attitudes toward homosexuals after reading the story than did readers of both the gay-early narrative and the heterosexual narrative.
Those who read the gay-late narrative also relied less on stereotypes of homosexuals - they rated the gay character as less feminine and less emotional than did the readers of the gay-early story.
"If people identified with the character before they knew he was gay, if they went through experience-taking, they had more positive views - the readers accepted that this character was like them," Kaufman said.
Similar results were found in a story where white students read about a black student, who was identified as black early or late in the story.
Libby said experience-taking is different from perspective-taking, where people try to understand what another person is going though in a particular situation - but without losing sight of their own identity.
"Experience-taking is much more immersive - you've replaced yourself with the other," she said.
The key is that experience-taking is spontaneous - you don't have to direct people to do it, but it happens naturally under the right circumstance.
"Experience-taking can be very powerful because people don't even realize it is happening to them. It is an unconscious process," Libby said.
The study was funded by a National Science FoundationGraduate Research Fellowship to Kaufman.

Not just Books
What about characters in films or Television? Kids lose themselves in these Disney and Nickelodeon shows, wanting to be ICarly or a Wizard of Waverly Place. Harry Potter or Hermine. Spock of Star Trek. Kids start mimicking these characters. Imagine The Hunger Games.
Then there is the fictional tales and folklore of the Bible. The Messiah Complex. Moses and Abraham. John, The Baptist.
I guess it is time to start burning books.

"Experience-taking can be a powerful way to change our behavior and thoughts in meaningful and beneficial ways,"
We are being manipulated in so many ways. While books can change peoples thinking, movies and TV are the dominate means of mass mind control. When watching the flickering screen the mind goes into trance and everything goes directly directly into the subconscious and there imprints on the soul.
I found an interesting you tube video that goes into some of the dirty little secrets of Hollywood, well worth watching.
Hollywood's Satanic Agenda
I found it ironic in the Mitt Romney bullying likened to Lord of The Flies because I was going to use that Book as an example in context to this article. I could not remember the protagonist name so I went for the television aspect as I noticed by nieces and nephews acting like Disney and Nickelodeon dorks.

I read somehwere that witches preffered using holly for their wands because of its whiteness since, the whiter the wood, the more powerful the wand. So we get movie 'magic' and 'Hollywood'.

Q: The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to "Temperature" -JAVA Goodday everybody,
So I made a class Temperature, which has a constructor to make the temperature.
Temperature is an arraylist of 2 numbers [coldness, hotness].
    public int hotness;
public int coldness;
public int[] temperature;
public int maxTemperature = 10000;

//Constructor Temperature
public Temperature(int hotness, int coldness) {
    /**
     * A constructor for the Array Temperature
     */
    maxTemperature = getMaxTemperature();
        if(hotness <= maxTemperature && coldness <= maxTemperature)
        temperature[0] = coldness;
        temperature[1] = hotness;
        }

and now I want to go into another class and use that object Temperature to do some calculations. Here is the code for it.
    //Variabels

public int volatility;
private static Temperature temperature;
private static int intrensicExplosivity;

    public static int standardVolatility(){
    if(temperature[0] == 0){
        int standardVolatility = 100 * intrensicExplosivity * (0.10 * temperature[1]);
    }

so now I get the error: The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to "Temperature"
any solutions?
I'm quite new to Java, so it's probably just some synthax errors, but I just can't find it.
thanks in advance.
David

A: Instead of
public static int standardVolatility() {
    if(temperature[0] == 0) {

try
public static int standardVolatility() {
    if(tepmerature.temperature[0] == 0) {
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note that the temperature in your second snippet is of type Temperature which itself has an int-array called temperature. To access the temperature-array of the Temperature object, you'll have to do temperature.temperature.

As @Marko Topolnik points out, you may also want to change
public int[] temperature;

to
public int[] temperature = new int[2];

in order to make room for the two temperature values.

A: First create getter & setter methods into the Temperature class and then call temperature.getTempertature() and use it on the second class.

A: tempeture is of type Tempeture which is not an array.
What you want is the array member temperature inside your object instance (which you also called tempature).
Anyway change line :
if(temperature[0] == 0)
.
.

With :
if(temperature.tempature[0] == 0)
.
.

I would advise you to use getters and setters and also use name which wont confuse you.

A: You mix up some variables here.
In your code block below, temperature refers to a instance of your Temperature class, but you assumed it refers to the temperature array, which is a member of the Temperature class.
public static int standardVolatility() {
    if(temperature.temperature[0] == 0){
        int standardVolatility = 100 * intrensicExplosivity * (0.10 * temperature[1]);
    }

A: Well, your problem is here
private static Temperature temperature;
if(temperature[0] == 0){
        int standardVolatility = 100 * intrensicExplosivity * (0.10 * temperature[1]);
}

You are using an object as an array . That's wrong.
Instead, use a GET and set method from which you set and get the temperature .
Don't make all your data public , that's very bad for OO Programming. Use those getters and setters.
Somthing like: if(temperature.getTemperature()==0)  etc.
PS: Don't forget to intialize objects with new operator ( Temperature temperature = new Temperature(10,30); )

Nux Vomica; Uses, Dosage, Site Effects, Interactions
Home / Homeopathy Medicine (A -Z) /
Nux vomica (family Loganiaceae) is commonly known as kuchla. It is a major source of the highly poisonous, intensely bitter alkaloids strychnine and brucine derived from the seeds inside the tree's round, green to orange fruit.[1] The seeds contain approximately 1.5% strychnine, and the dried blossoms contain 1.0%.[2] However, the tree's bark also contains brucine and other poisonous compounds. Kuchla contain 2.6%–3% total alkaloids, out of which 1.25%–1.5% is strychnine, 1.7% is brucine, and the rest are vomicine and igasurine.[3] Some other minor alkaloids are α-colubrine, β-colubrine, 3-methoxyamine, protostrychnine, novacine, n-oxystrychnine, pseudostrychnine, isostrychnine, chlorogenic acid, and a glycoside, loganin.[4] Crude drug kuchla is used in the treatment of anemia, lumbago, asthma, bronchitis, constipation, diabetes, malarial fever, skin disease, paralysis, muscle weakness, and appetite loss.[5] Suppressive effect of S. nux-vomica was observed on the induction of ovalbumin-specific IgE antibody response in mice.[6] Strychnine was identified and analyzed in detoxified kuchla seeds using liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry.[7] Strychnine and brucine were separated and quantified in S. nux-vomica by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis.[8] Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and time of flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) analysis of crude and processed S. nux-vomica seeds allowed rapid screening of alkaloid components.[9]
STRYCHNINE AND SALTS is a colorless to white crystals. Used as a rodenticide. Burns, though difficult to ignite. Toxic by ingestion. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion.
Uses / Indications of Nux Vomica
Erectile dysfunction (ED, impotence)
Diseases of the stomach and intestines
Heart and blood system disorders
Tired blood (anemia)
Diseases of the eye
A migraine
Stimulating the appetite
Digestive problems such as constipation, bloating, heartburn, and nausea
Male infertility and impotence
Colds and flus, particularly in the early stages of the virus
Irritability, impatience, and high sensitivity to stimuli, caused by stress or mental strain
Headaches and migraines symptoms such as a sore scalp, frontal pain, light sensitivity, or stomach problems

Word of mouth advertising has always been important to business but today, a small group of people who others trust could be responsible for making or breaking a product or company. This concept is not new as in the past; a small group of journalists could also be responsible for assigning tremendous credibility to a company or product. And in response, companies often treated the media like a sort of royalty – doing their best to influence the influencers.
If your cloud services relay on a data center which is in an area affected by a natural disaster and your users or home office is not, you probably look at the recent disaster in Japan as a negative for cloud-based services. the reality is however that once your services are in the cloud, you will be able to more easily have access to computing resources which are geographically dispersed.
Moreover, generally speaking, a data center is more resilient to natural disasters than a typical office would be. This is the case for example with the Terremark building in Miami, FL which while located in a hurricane zone, is one of the most disaster-proof structures you will find. This is likely why the US government virtually owns an entire floor of the building and moreover why Verizon decided to buy the company as it expands its cloud strategy.

Cat quietly escapes bag: Marvel has an app for the iPad
Posted by Batmatt Beyond on April 1, 2010 at 3:29pm in General Comics Discussions
The USA Today reviewer mentions it in his glowing review of the iPad. CBR has a wee bit more.
The big question: Will digital and print versions be available on the same day?
Permalink Reply by PowerBook Pete, the Mad Mod on April 2, 2010 at 3:15pm
I think there will probably fairly quickly be an almost universal reader app, with Marvel as the lone holdout for a year or so.
Permalink Reply by Cavaliere (moderator emeritus) on April 2, 2010 at 3:57pm
Some thoughts in no particular order...
$1.99 per issue sure sounds good to me and, as I said before, not actually needing storage space for the comics is a great benefit, too.
I read the press release a couple of times and if it said anything about how soon new issues would be released for the iPad or how many would be than I missed it. That, combined with the cost of the blessed thing in the first place, is still the deal breaker for me. When I can buy the new issue of Captain America (for example) as a digital comic the same day that it is available as a physical copy then I'll be far more interested.
Do I feel bad for retailers? Well, yeah. If comics companies start releasing digital titles at the same time as physical copies then it will naturally have a negative affect on store sales. If there's a bright side here, it's that I suspect we'd be years away from the new digital comics being released like that. It's kind of like how traditional video stores are dying off because of easier & more cost-efficient alternatives like Netflix and Redbox. There's part of me that still wants to have my own comicbook store but that now seems further away then ever.
I don't see the need for a universal (multi-versal?) company app. Run the Marvel app for Marvel titles, the DC app for DC titles, etc. That's not a big deal to me.
Beyond having a back-up for your purchased issues (in case something happens to your iPad), I also don't see the need to transfer purchased issues around. Yes, that would mean that my clone would either have to buy his own Fables stories or read them while at my house but, again, that's not a big deal to me.

It may not make a difference to an individual's usability, but publisher-specific apps (and, more significantly, proprietary lockdown) I think will be a huge stumbling block for comics to really take off in an electronic medium.
It's not so much a matter of "a Marvel app for Marvel titles, a DC app for DC titles"...it's more the barrier it creates for the smaller and independent publishers. If you want to create a comic for the iPad, but suddenly you're stuck not only having to make the comic itself, but have to create a way for people to be able to read it, too? That would be like if anyone who wanted to publish a print comic book had to devise their own printing method on top of coming up with the content. What I'm saying is, it's a barrier for publishers with less significant financial underpinning, and closing those publishers out of the medium is not a way for comics to thrive in said medium.
In this case, I believe the platform matters more than the app. Also, there are so many developers working on these things, a small publisher, or even someone without a publisher will probably find one they can use to get their content out.
I downloaded the Marvel app for the iPod, but I haven't put it on the iPod yet. I'll try the free comics to see how they look on the small screen.

The creators of Atomic Robo have already enjoyed considerable success with whatever iPhone app they went with. The comic was even featured in a TV ad for the iPhone. I imagine the indy publishers will rally around Comixology and the other comic apps that are already in business.

I also downloaded Comixology and saw that Atomic Robo was one of the offerings there. Marvel's app appears to be a re-branded version of Comixology.
Also, FileMaker's Bento is available for the iPad to let you build a database to keep up with all your comics, physical and electronic.
Marvel's press release noted that they worked with Comixology to create their app.
