The President, in the name of Congress, has awarded more than 3,400 Medals of Honor to our nation's bravest Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen since the decoration's creation in 1861.
For years, the citations highlighting these acts of bravery and heroism resided in dusty archives and only sporadically were printed. In 1973, the U.S. Senate ordered the citations compiled and printed as Committee on Veterans' Affairs, U.S. Senate, Medal of Honor Recipients: 1863-1973 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1973). This book was later updated and reprinted in 1979.

Excellence Reporter: Monica, what is the meaning of life?
Monica Cassani: I've been sitting with this question: What is the meaning of life? on the back burner for a good long while. Finally today, I realized that the reason I haven't been able to come up with writing anything is because, for me, it's the wrong question. I have no idea what the meaning of life is. I really don't. It simply doesn't resonate with me as a question that can or should be answered. I'm okay with accepting the mystery of our existence from this angle.
Today, in contemplation, however, my musings went to the purpose of life. And then I discovered that What is the purpose of life? does make sense to me. And so, I will take the liberty to answer that question rather than What is the meaning of life?
The purpose of life, as I see it, is to see through the conditioning we acquire from the moment we are born. It is this conditioning that is responsible for all the suffering and chaos in the world. It is our (inappropriate and disconnected) conditioning that is leading us to create a world that is currently on the brink of no longer being able to sustain us and most of life. The only purpose we can now have is to see through the ludicrousness of what we are told about what is important and to become awake and aware that we might save ourselves and all other species.
So, what is the conditioned self? It's a collection of the beliefs we take on as a result of our environment and the people around us. It is not who we are. It is not our true nature. The conditioned selves of the world fight with one another trying to prove that our conditioning is better than our enemies conditioning. This is the source of all conflict. We all have conditioned beliefs that we will fight for unto death quite often. To think that our beliefs are actually better than anyone else's is a frankly delusional proposition.
Clearly moving away from belief is not easy. It is something I practice. I might even say it is my most fundamental practice along with simply surrendering to that which is. Reality.
To wake up to the nature of reality is the purpose of life. And the nature of reality, is, essentially ineffable so I will end this here that the reader may contemplate its meaning for themselves.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- The Tusculum College men's basketball team erupted for a 25-3 run in the second half as the Pioneers recorded an 85-70 South Atlantic Conference win over Brevard College Wednesday night at Pioneer Arena.
Tusculum (8-11, 5-8 SAC) snaps a four-game losing streak while the Tornados (2-17, 0-13 SAC) remain winless in league play and suffer their seventh consecutive defeat. TC sweeps the season series over Brevard in the final conference meeting between the two schools as the Tornados will be leaving the league at the end of the year.
TC's Kendall Patterson led all scorers with his game-high 21 points, including 15 in the opening half. Patterson went 9-of-14 from the floor, while dishing out a game-high seven assists. Freshman Trey Blevins finished with a season-high 15 points off the bench, including 11 straight in TC's 25-3 run. Ronnie Baylark added 12 points, while Cory Fagan accounted for nine points, seven rebounds and six assists in his 32 minutes of action.
Brevard's Stevie Williams led the visitors with 15 points and four assists, while D.J. Bostick and Shelby Parris accounted for 13 and 11 points, respectively.
With Tusculum leading 60-58 with 11:06 remaining the Pioneers scored 18 straight points over a span of 6:02 to take a 78-58 advantage. During the 25-3 spurt, TC went 11-of-12 from the floor, including a run of 10 in a row. Blevins connected on three consecutive treys in a span of 70 seconds and accounted for 11 straight points as the Pioneers blew the game wide-open. Patterson capped the run with an acrobatic layup as TC took its largest lead of the night at 85-61 with 2:55 to go.
The Tornados scored the final nine points of the contest to provide the final scoring margin.
Tusculum shot a season-high 59 percent from the floor, including 17-of-28 in the second half for 60.7 percent, but TC still trailed 45-42 at the intermission. Brevard fired 55.6 percent in the first period, but Tusculum clamped down defensively limiting BC to 29.2 percent shooting and 25 second half points. Brevard would end the game shooting 43.1 percent.
Tusculum dominated in the paint, outscoring the Tornados 54-14 in the lane and held a 19-8 edge in points off turnovers and a 16-0 advantage in fast-break points.
Connor Mitchell came off the TC bench to lead his all players with a career-high nine rebounds to go along with his six points.
Fagan, who shot 4-of-6 from the floor, also connected on one three-pointer, extending his school-record streak to 35 consecutive games with a trey, a string which began Jan. 9, 2016.
Tusculum head coach Michael Jones was not on the TC bench as he has been battling a 102-degree fever and flu-like symptoms, ending a 20-year run of 583 straight games as a collegiate head coach dating back to 1997. Assistant coach Jay Welborn served as TC skipper for Wednesday's contest.
Wednesday was the 22nd meeting between the Tusculum and Brevard in a series which began in 2006. TC leads the all-time series 15-7, including victories in the last four encounters. Jones, who served as head coach at Brevard for 12 seasons from 1999-2011, now owns an 8-4 record against his former school.
Tusculum returns to action on Saturday as the Pioneers travel to Wingate University for a 4 p.m. tip-off at Cuddy Arena. The Pioneers won this year's first meeting 88-85 in November, but the Bulldogs have emerged as the hottest team in the league as they enters Saturday's rematch riding a nine-game winning streak, its longest in nine seasons.

How quickly can I get a security system put in?
Home › Forums › Home Security › Security Systems › How quickly can I get a security system put in?
My neighbor's house just got broken into and with the series of break-ins that have been happening on my street, I'm afraid that my house might be next. So I'd like to get an alarm system installed ASAP. How long does this take, and what's the quickest way for me to get one installed and setup?
The quickest of these three is probably 1), but again, we advise against monitoring your own system as you would have to be watching your monitoring device (smart phone) 24/7. Option 2) typically can get to you within a couple days (they ship the systems quickly), and you should be able to get up and running as soon as the system arrives (you install, contact their tech support, and they activate your system). Option 3) will depend on their availability and when you are able to schedule a professional install. You will also need to obtain and register an alarm permit with your city (this authorizes law enforcement to act on an alarm).
I encourage you to read our article on the best home alarm system to further explore your options and actually decide on a system. Meanwhile, what you could do in the short term is get an alarm sign and stick it in your front yard to deter burglars until your security system is ready.

When working with Unity UI system, sometimes it is useful to know what the size of a given RectTransform is. Maybe you need to know how big a widget needs to be, or to see if a mouse pointer is within that given rect.
The catch with this is that it returns a size which is relative to the parent object, so it is possible to get zero/negative values if the RectTransform is smaller than the parent object. BUT, if the pivots of the transform that you are trying to measure coincide, then sizeDelta will return the actual size of the transform.
This is especially important to note when working with transforms that are set to stretch, because their pivots do not match up.
The other way to get the size of a RectTransform is to use its rect property. This one always returns the correct size of the transform, so I would suggest to use this whenever you need the size of a transform and don't want to worry about how its pivots are set up.
The only problem with this approach occurs when you are instantiating new objects, like a prefab for a vertical list, and accessing their rect property on the same frame that they are created. Unity, in fact, takes one frame to re calculate the values, so you might end up with incorrect results if you do not wait.
I found two solutions to solve this problem.
If you need to call this only once then this is probably the easiest solution and the quickest. However, re-building canvases allocates quite a bit of memory, especially if it is called repeatedly when instantiating many objects for a list in your UI.
Calling a Coroutine is a simple way to wait one frame to then grab the size of a RectTransform. The problem with this approach is that the implementation is less straight forward than rebuilding canvasses, since you will have to write a new method. However, it is still quite readable.
If you don't want to use Coroutines then the next solution is to use a Boolean flag. When instantiating objects you can set the flag and then check it on your Update function. This is the safest solution in terms of simplicity and memory allocation, but it comes at the cost of having to add an extra flag in your implementation.

Q: How to reuse parts of code? (MATLAB) Recently I wrote a basic script that uses the ideal gas law. I managed to get the script working fine but it seems very clunky and inelegant, I was wondering if there is a better way of writing it. The program needs 2 inputs from the user, here's the part of the code that gets the input.
x = input('Are you going to enter a [t]emperaute, a [p]ressure or a [v]olume?\n','s');

while(double(x) ~= double('t') && double(x) ~= double('p') && double(x) ~= double('v'))
% stop the user from entering anything but t,v or p
x = input('Please enter either t (for temperaure), p (for pressure) or v (for volume)\n', 's');
end

if (double(x) == double('t'))
T = input('OK, please tell me the temperature in Kelvin\n');
% Get the temperature value from the user
while (T <= 0) % negative temperatures aren't allowed
  T = input('Please enter a positive value for the temperature\n');
end
elseif (double(x) == double('p'))
P = input('OK, please tell me the pressure in Pascals\n');
% Get the pressure value from the user
while (P <= 0) % negative presures arent allowed
  P = input('Please enter a positive value for the pressure\n');
end
elseif(double(x) == double('v'))
V = input('OK, please tell me the volume in m^3\n');
% Get the volume value from the user
 while (V <= 0) % Don't allow the user to enter negative or zero values for the volume
  V = input('Please enter a positive value for the volume\n');
 end
end

Already I think this looks a bit daft, the if statements look very similar. When I was writing this I was just copy pasting the conditions and changing a few words.
It gets even worse later on in the script when I have to get another variable from the user, I just paste the exact same code, change the variable to y and stick a while (double(x) == double(y)) condition on the end to stop the user putting in the same input twice.
Is there a way to reuse parts of code in MATLAB? I tried to define a function for the big block of code up above but MATLAB kept complaining because I wasn't specifying any variables to pass to the function.
I'm sure that there will be a basic programming thing that does this but i'm new to programming (in MATLAB and in general).
Thank you in advance.

A: I think that this can be quite easily done:
http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/matlab/matlab_prog/local-functions.html
All you need to do is create a local function as seen in the link. All you're doing after all is giving a prompt and checking the value received is below 0.
After that, compare the first input to a collection to give you the correct value of the prompt using the map containers:
http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/matlab/map-containers.html?s_tid=doc_12b
So you might use something like:
function X = foo(x)

keySet =   {'t', 'p', 'v'};
valueSet = ['Kelvin', 'Pascal', 'm^3'];
units = containers.Map(keySet,valueSet)
X = input('OK, please tell me the temperature in'+ units(x) +'\n');
% Get the value from the user
while (X <= 0)
X = input('Please enter a positive value for the value \n');

end

Then you just need to call the function:
Temperature = foo('t')
Have a look around the links I've posted. They offer a good place to start.
P.S. I wouldn't trust those input prompts, I can't remember how the strings work in Matlab, but the gist should be right.
P.P.S. You'll also maybe want to add a check that a good value has been passed into the function.

OUR VIEW: Looking past Country 500
Dec 8, 2018 at 2:01 AM Dec 8, 2018 at 8:13 AM
What's the next big draw?
While it's unfortunate that the Daytona International Speedway announced the Country 500 is no more, the festival did plant an important seed.
The three-day Memorial Day weekend music festival showed that big-time events can do well here in Daytona Beach, and that Daytona International Speedway is a good venue for them.
The Speedway spent $400 million on renovations to transform the sprawling complex (which sits on publicly owned land) into a multi-purpose stadium and a year-round destination, and if the music festival was any indication, the future looks bright; particularly with the success of One Daytona and the two new hotels slated to open in early 2019 right across the street.
[READ: Daytona's Country 500 music fest won't return to Speedway]
Thanks to strong acts, attendance and marketing, the Country 500 thrived the first two years, with organizers reporting draws of about 75,000 fans each year. Those numbers are likely to grab the attention of some big-time promoters and, perhaps more importantly, sponsors who are willing to pony up.
The big attraction the first two years of the Country 500 was definitely the strong lineups, featuring top country music acts including Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Willie Nelson, Florida Georgia Line, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn, Keith Urban, Hank Williams Jr. and Martina McBride.
The success earned the festival an encore this year, and though things derailed, it is still something upon which the Speedway can build.
This year's struggles can be blamed on a weaker lineup — Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, Chris Stapleton, Sugarland and Toby Keith to name a few — and lousy weather. Rain even forced the cancellation of some acts. Finally, there was an obvious dial-back on local marketing of the event compared to the first two years.
Attendance figures were not released for this year's event, but News-Journal Business Editor Clayton Park reported that International Speedway Corp. acknowledged in its second-quarter earnings report that attendance was greatly impacted by Tropical Storm Alberto. The only statement from the Speedway was that tens of thousands of country music fans attended.
Maybe that explains this year's slow-down, or at least provides some key lessons.
That leaves us with the million-dollar question: What's the next big draw?
There's the Challenge Daytona international middle-distance triathlon this weekend, which should see a good turnout. The thrill of just being in the Speedway is a strong lure, as evident from past events such as the Daytona Beach half marathon and 5K races. There's also the annual Daytona Turkey Run. But these are not big draws like the Country 500.
Still, there are plenty of opportunities out there. While country music felt like a good fit for the Speedway, music festivals in general have grown in popularity, not just in Florida but around the country.
Word on the next big event is mum so far, but the Speedway did say in an email, "We are in the midst of negotiations right now for a new music opportunity for the future."
With the Speedway's now-proven track record of big-time, big-venue success, the right promoter with the right mix of stars may be just around the corner.

There are many Kentucky Derby parties in Arizona. But none like this. With the elegance and excellence. So don't gamble on which party is best for you. Gamble on ours. Returning May 4th is The All New Bulleit Bourbon Derby DayClub: Bubbles & Betting, the only Kentucky Derby party in Arizona with live horse racing, gambling, DJ's, and Polo Party-style tents track-side at Turf Paradise.
The Ultimate "Party On The Rail" will offer guests access to betting terminals inside of the air-cooled Derby DayClub tent or to tellers inside of Turf Paradise to place their bets on live horse races just feet away or on the Kentucky Derby itself. There's no need to be intimidated by the excitement of playing the ponies, you'll look like the expert after checking out our betting basics.
Betting on PLACE you choose one horse and your horse needs to finish in either first OR second in order to win.
You can place a bet on all three called the Win-Place-Show bet by asking for your pick "Across the Board". Dare to be bold? There are other ways of betting, considered exotic bets, that involve much more precise picks with higher rewards.
All betting options will be available at your fingertips inside of the Derby DayClub with mint juleps close at hand, live racing feet in front of you, and flat screen TV's to watch the Kentucky Derby.


Odin Marine Spain, S.L. is located in Barcelona, one of the busiest Mediterranean ports serving in the recent years increasingly as a hub for other destinations in the south of Europe and Africa. Our office is right in the center of the city and nearby the port. The Spanish office was officially established in December 2014. The mission of this new office within the group is to strengthen our presence in the Mediterranean, Black sea including the African and other Latin areas. Moreover, we see the move also as logical desire to be closer to some existing clients.
