Team from HEB-Ashram wins the inaugural Chief Justice's Cup 2015
$62,000 was raised by the CJ's Cup Charity Futsal – a collaborative fund-raising project between the Singapore Academy of Law and Yellow Ribbon Fund.
14 November 2015 – Over a hundred lawyers, legal service officers and ex-offenders pitted their skills on the futsal pitch at the East Coast Park for the prize of the inaugural Chief Justice's Cup. After three hours of play where the 16 teams were pitched in four groups of round-robin eliminations, the team from HEB-Ashram won the coveted cup on a score of 3-2against runners-up from Pertapis Halfway Home.
Mr Thio Shen Yi, Chairman of the Academy's Corporate Social Responibility ("CSR") Sub-Committee said "The CJ's Cup is an initiative of the CSR Sub-Committee and will be an annual charity affair in the legal industry. The winning team will keep the challenge trophy for the year, and compete to retain it the next year."
The charity futsal jointly organised by the Singapore Academy of Law ("SAL") and the Yellow Ribbon Fund ("YRF") raised $62,000 for the YRF-SAL STAR (Skills Training Assistance to Re-start) Bursary which provides educational bursaries to financially disadvantaged ex-offenders for vocational and skills training. The YRF-SAL bursary was first started in 2013, where the Academy raised over $300,000 in a charity concert showcasing talents in the legal profession. This bursary is part of a larger YRF STAR Bursary which has supported financially needy ex-offenders seeking vocational and skills training since 2010.
Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon said "The Singapore Academy of Law has chosen to support the YRF project because it is an extremely important and meaningful initiative to help facilitate the longer term reintegration of ex-offenders into society."
To date, the YRF Bursary has benefited more than 85 ex-offenders who received financial help through the Bursary and 33 of them have graduated with recognised diplomas.
One such example is Singapore Polytechnic student Faizal (name has been changed), a 34-year-old who was in and out of prison since he was 16.
"I mixed around with bad company and began taking drugs in secondary school," he said. "My friends had all started working while I was still in prison. I missed out on a lot, I also saw the older inmates and realised that I would end up like them if I continued on the same path." Faizal was released in August 2014. In early 2015, he applied for the YRF STAR Bursary, which he was informed about by a counsellor while in prison. He was selected as a Bursary recipient and enrolled in the Diploma in Chemical Engineering course at Singapore Polytechnic soon after. Attorney-General Mr V K Rajah said "The CJ's Cup is an excellent opportunity for members of the legal fraternity to come together in a spirit of sportsmanship to support a worthy cause."
Mr Thio adds "The CSR Sub-Committee has aspirations that the CJ's Cup will see greater participation and involve more of the legal community in subsequent years and will be a high-profile event everyone in the legal profession can look forward to."

Highlighting Brown's Distinction
Highlighting Brown's distinction in the humanities
Humanities scholars at Brown are energizing comparative work that informs a deeper understanding of the most challenging questions of global common concern.
Cogut Institute director Amanda Anderson, right, says Brown's longstanding leadership in humanities research and scholarship has been amplified by a range of innovative approaches and new programs fueling collaborative, comparative work.
Nick Dentamaro / Brown University
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] —Brown scholars have built a reputation for tackling compelling, complex questions that impact key aspects of human experience.
For more than a century, the two dozen academic departments and programs of study that comprise the humanities at Brown have asked the big questions that inform our understanding of the past and deepen our sense of how to best approach current societal challenges of global significance.
How do we create a meaningfully engaged citizenry? How will we understand and respond to the social and ethical dimensions of technological change? How do religious and literary traditions inform our understanding of current political events?
The questions are countless. And as Brown President Christina Paxson argued in the New Republic — in an op-ed titled "The Economic Case for Saving the Humanities" — we need humanists to help us understand the implications of these questions, their answers and the coming changes they evince. Through a range of strategic initiatives, Brown is working to intensify the global impact of the humanities and their power to inspire change.
With major grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the launch of Brown's Digital Scholarship Initiative, work in the digital humanities is rapidly expanding. Scholars are increasingly calling on cutting-edge technology to publish and preserve centuries-old texts, from handwritten papers from Timbuktu to ancient cuneiform tablets threatened by modern-day conflict in Syria.
And among new efforts recently launched, three based at the Cogut Institute for the Humanities are fueling collaborative, comparative work and putting the institute in a class of its own.
A scholarly theme focused on environmental humanities created a home base for research, teaching and public events about the forces affecting our planet and generated so much interest that Cogut launched a multi-year Initiative for Environmental Humanities at Brown in Fall 2018. A Politics in the Humanities series has invigorated dialogue on timely political questions across the humanities and social sciences that are shaping national and global affairs. And a new Collaborative Humanities Initiative is manifesting the spirit of Brown's Open Curriculum at the graduate level and has made Cogut the first humanities institute in the country to offer a graduate certificate in collaborative humanities. This is helping to shape the next generation of thought leaders.
"These initiatives incorporate the leading aim of the institute, which is to promote collaborative teaching and research — as well as public programming and active dialogue — on the most challenging questions facing humanities scholars today," said Amanda Anderson, director of the Cogut Institute and a professor of humanities and English.
Environmental humanities
By establishing the environmental humanities first as a scholarly theme and now as a multi-year initiative, the Cogut Institute has become a destination for humanities scholars who are actively engaged with issues that pertain to the environment, ecology or environmental studies through their disciplinary lens.
The initiative underscores Brown's commitment to establishing a deeper understanding of human-environment interaction and is led by a collective of humanities faculty from the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society and the departments of history, political science and religious studies.
Mark Cladis, a professor of humanities and chair of the religious studies department, said that a great deal of compelling work in the environmental humanities is being done across the Brown campus, and the Cogut Institute serves as an important convening function.
"Whereas the natural and social scientists' work may be describing the rate of rising oceans, the person in the humanities might be writing about why it is that people are having such a difficult time wrapping their minds around this catastrophe," Cladis said. "What are the different portraits of the natural environment and the human encounter with it?"
Illuminating that encounter has taken a variety of forms: a public conversation with writer, conservationist and activist Terry Tempest Williams; a film screening that focused on how the life and work of scientist Lynn Margulis can impact thinking on humans' relationship to the environment; a panel on writing about climate change; and a conference called "Earth(ly) Matters: New Directions in Environmental Humanities."
Cladis also taught "Radical Romanticism: Religion, Democracy and the Environmental Imagination," which is directly related to his research on a forthcoming book with the same title. His research examines the convergence of progressive political, environmental and religious traditions and offers an alternative account of British and American Romanticism — what he calls radical Romanticism.
"Romanticism is often understood as fanciful thought that's trying to escape reality," Cladis said, "or the idea of an enchanted nature that's replacing religion. I'm reading these authors and texts as realists. They address industrialization, oppressive land enclosures, pollution and the exploitation of workers and the land alike. That's what I mean by realists."
More than 20 courses taught by Cladis and other faculty members are now offered as part of the initiative, ranging from "Pursuit of Happiness" to "Ecopoetics in Practice" to "The Nature of Conquest."
Politics in the Humanities
In 2015, Bonnie Honig launched the Politics in the Humanities series at Brown as a way to traverse the social sciences and the humanities. Honig is a professor of modern culture and media and political science.
Events in the series feature prominent thinkers who show "how humanistic projects can turn out to be a kind of fulcrum for understanding our social and cultural moment," Honig said.
"Social sciences tend toward generalization, laws, formulas, observations and explanations that strive to be capacious, with the hope of offering a great deal of encompassing, explanatory power," Honig said. "In the humanities, as I understand them, there is also an aspiration to have a broad reach, but that broad reach is very grounded in the particularities of human experience."
The contours of the series provide listeners with a window on what using both those approaches yields.
This year, professor, author and activist Cornel West visited campus, delivering a fiery, uplifting plea for humanity rooted in an examination of income inequality, mass incarceration, white supremacy and other bleak reminders of the current historical moment.
Earlier, Davina Cooper, a professor of law and sociology at the University of Kent, offered a political reading of what some consider a leisure activity — the physical maneuvering of parkour, or street-running — that considered the role of public play in a democracy. The reading also considered how class, gender, age and law are bound up in the use of public infrastructure for unintended purposes.
The series has also featured subjects including the jurisprudence of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas; post-colonialism's effect on indigenous peoples; the origins and impact of contemporary U.S. anti-tax politics; and whether Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" — often seen as a doomsday text inaugurating a genre of climate catastrophe literature — can be seen rather as a seminal text of love for nature and others.
Honig's own research regularly crosses disciplinary boundaries. A fall 2017 talk examined how "Moby Dick" responds to Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan" and has implications for collective democratic action. A forthcoming book titled "Theaters of Refusal" looks at the politics of refusal, enacted through civil disobedience, conscientious objection or simply withdrawal from political life, as seen in literature, film, and drama.
In welcoming lecturers working in equally dynamic ways to Brown, the series promotes the critical examination of the role of the humanities in informing a deeper understanding of important developments in the world.
"When we're at the Cogut Institute for Politics in the Humanities, there are people from so many departments in the room," Honig said. "That's an important dimension — it gives us all an opportunity to be together, thinking together."
Collaborative Humanities Initiative
Through the Collaborative Humanities Initiative, the Cogut Institute is demonstrating how Brown's distinctive Open Curriculum enhances graduate training in the humanities, helping graduate students sharpen their lines of inquiry and expand their professional prospects.
In 2017, with a $1.3 million Mellon Foundation grant, the institute launched a certificate program that enables doctoral students to adapt the resources of different disciplines to research problems and provides a valuable credential to students as they embark on their careers.
At the program's core are team-taught collaborative research seminars led by pairs of faculty members from different fields, an approach that the Cogut Institute has been developing for a number of years. With the new program underway, the institute has steadily increased the number of these courses, with five offered in 2017-18 and nine underway or planned for 2018-19.
Among last semester's collaborative seminars was "Politics and Literature," co-taught by Anderson and Honig.
"Team-teaching is intellectually exhilarating and catalyzing for both faculty and students," Anderson said. "Our collaborative courses ask faculty and students to imagine new ways of working together — and to challenge each other to think beyond established forms of co-authorship or group work. We have students writing collectively, creating alternative syllabi and doing creative group projects. It helps students understand research questions and social challenges in a multi-dimensional way."
Nechama Juni, a fourth-year Ph.D. student in religious studies and a Mellon Graduate Fellow in Collaborative Humanities, conducted an interdisciplinary study of modern Jewish halakha, or religious law. Juni said she wanted to complement the training provided by her department with other methodological approaches to the study of religion.
"This sort of training will be crucial for me as I develop my dissertation project, which seeks to combine strictly conceptual approaches (like those from philosophy and critical theory) with approaches that focus on how people live, like those from anthropology, history and political science," she said.
Completing the requirements also has the capacity to widen Juni's ability to collaborate with colleagues and expand the range of topics she will be able to teach, she said.
Kareem Estefan, a fourth-year Ph.D. student in modern culture and media, researches contemporary visual culture in the Middle East. He described his course of study as inherently interdisciplinary, involving courses located in different humanities and social sciences departments. The certificate program, Estefan said, formalizes and extends what many Brown graduate students already do while sharpening their theoretical focus and exposing them to faculty research.
"The program allows you to work with students who have similar questions but different approaches and emphasizes a collaborative learning process that opens up new lines of inquiry," Estefan said. "It also provides space for generative dialogue between professors."
Estefan took a seminar co-taught by Ariella Azoulay, a professor of comparative literature and modern culture and media, and Leela Gandhi, a professor of the humanities and English. The seminar considered the array of new nation-states and institutions that emerged in 1948, in the aftermath of World War II, which each professor approached through a different lens.
"While Ariella Azoulay's research often centers on Palestine/Israel, Leela Gandhi has a background in postcolonial South Asian studies," Estefan said. "Their expertise complemented one another, and outside of the certificate program, there is no regular opportunity for co-taught classes like theirs."
In addition to reconsidering how a subject is typically taught, the seminars allow free movement between disciplines, which is useful for students like Stephen Marsh, a doctoral candidate in English.
"I work on mid-20th century liberalism, mostly among a group of cultural critics called the New York Intellectuals," Marsh said. "Politics is on their minds virtually all the time, and their understanding of what literature is and does has a lot of resonance with how they think about politics."
The certificate program allows Marsh to ask key research questions using political theory directly, rather than limiting himself to literary studies questions. The Collaborative Humanities Initiative is among the strategic approaches at Brown that are supporting scholars seeking cross-disciplinary responses to some of society's most challenging questions.
"It lets me get at the real stakes of my research questions better," Marsh said, "because those questions themselves don't respect contemporary disciplinary boundaries."

In addition to enabling students to use the methods and approaches of different disciplines, the collaborative seminars and graduate certificate provide a valuable credential that broadens teaching and career opportunities for scholars. Nick Dentamaro / Brown University
By combining what Bonnie Honig describes as social sciences' "encompassing, explanatory power" and the humanities' emphasis on the particularities of human experience, collaborative seminars expand opportunities for understanding our social and cultural moment. Nick Dentamaro / Brown University

Q: Why does df -h still show 100% full even after deleting files? The disk space on my Ubuntu web server, running on DigitalOcean, seems to be full. I have already found and deleted the large log file and restarted Nginx. However, it still seems like there is a problem.
df shows that it's still full:
$ df -h /
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        50G   47G   22M 100% /

But du shows that it's not full:
$ du -shx /
3.2G    /

What do I need to do to fix this problem?

A: First check and see if any processes are still referencing the deleted file:
$ sudo lsof / | grep deleted

In my case, it was showing that tail was still using it:
tail      18961       root    3r   REG  253,1 46511271936 1189657 /var/www/myapp/shared/log/production.log (deleted)

Running ps x and filtering by the process name showed me the process id that I needed to kill:
$ ps x | grep tail
 3376 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto tail
18961 ?        Ss     0:00 tail -f /var/www/myapp/current/log/production.log

In this case, 18961 was the process id. Now kill the process:
kill 18961

Now df shows that there is free space again:
$ df -h /
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        50G  3.3G   44G   7% /

It will not do to say that God onlyusesour cancer, but does not design it. What God permits, he permits for a reason. And that reason is his design. If God foresees molecular developments becoming cancer, he can stop it or not. If he does not, he has a purpose. Since he is infinitely wise, it is right to call this purpose a design. Satan is real and causes many pleasures and pains. But he is not ultimate. So, when he strikes Job with boils (Job 2:7), Job attributes it ultimately to God (Job 2:10) — and the inspired writer agrees: "They . . . comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him" (Job 42:11). If you don't believe God designed your cancer for you, you will waste it.
loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." And to know therefore, "To live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Philippians 3:8; 1:21).
When Epaphroditus brought the gifts to Paul sent by the Philippian church, he became ill and almost died. Paul tells the Philippians, "He has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill" (Philippians 2:26). What an amazing response! It does not saytheywere distressed that he was ill, but thathewas distressed because theyheardhe was ill. That is the kind of heart God is aiming to create with cancer: a deeply affectionate, caring heart for people. Don't waste your cancer by retreating into yourself.
Are your besetting sins as attractive as they were before you had cancer? If so, you are wasting your cancer. Cancer is designed to destroy the appetite for sin. Pride, greed, lust, hatred, unforgiveness, impatience, laziness, procrastination — all these are the adversaries that cancer is meant to attack. Don't just think of battlingagainstcancer. Also think of battlingwithcancer. All these things are worse enemies than cancer. Don't waste the power of cancer to crush these foes. Let the presence of eternity make the sins of time look as futile as they really are. "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?" (Luke 9:25).

Creating a Monster
Monster Energy grew from natural rotts to become a behemoth energy brand
The phrase monster conjures up the childhood mystery figure under the bed, or perhaps, one of the many Hollywood horror movie versions. More recently, the neon green claw logo that represents Monster energy drink has ranked close behind the boogeyman or Frankenstein. Like those Hollywood figures, the claw logo has become an identifiable symbol for the No. 2 selling brand in the fast-growing energy drink category, which has become a force all its own.
"Monster is aggressive, cool, sinister, dark, mysterious and fun," says the brand's positioning statement. "Monster is about action sports, punk rock music, partying, girls and living life on the edge."
The brand keeps the category interesting by adding more products and SKUs to its lineup. Made by Hansen Natural Corp., Corona, Calif., Monster now features eight incarnations and a variety of packaging options. Its latest creation — Java Monster — blends coffee flavors and its proprietary energy blend for a category-blurring beverage.
"One of the main differences we believe we found with Monster was that instead of just creating a brand, another drink, we created a whole different personality and an image around the brand," says Rodney Sacks, chairman and chief executive officer of Hansen Natural Corp. "I think our primary focus is to keep that personality true to itself and in the forefront of consumers' minds. And that has meant, in many cases, continuing to adapt to changes in consumer preferences, sports and interests. As they change, we've tended to immediately follow in those areas."
From natural roots
Creating this Monster was not an easy task. In the late 1990s, the juice, smoothie and soft drink maker was an early figure in the budding energy drink category with its Hansen's Energy drink. After a few incarnations, including functional endurance, de-stress and anti-oxidant blends, the company re-evaluated how Hansen's Energy fit in with Hansen Natural's portfolio.
"Hansen was a brand that was well established," Sacks says. "It stands for natural, trusted, good-for-you beverages, and has had that reputation for 70 years. So when we came out with Hansen's Energy, we wanted to keep everything under one umbrella and that trademark. The consumer for Hansen's Energy was a younger, aggressive male consumer. What we struggled with was being able to make the brand meaningful and cool to young male consumers while the brand stood for and marketed itself as homey and family-oriented with good-for-you values."
Realizing the disconnect between the natural line and energy brands, Sacks along with Hilton Schlosberg, vice chairman of the board of directors, worked with Mark Hall, current president of Monster Beverage Co., to branch out from the Hansen's trademark and develop an energy drink that could effectively go after the proper demographic.
"We walked that tightrope for many years and eventually came to the decision that if we were going to make a real impression in this category, we needed to create a brand that really spoke for, looked like and conveyed what the category really wanted, what young, male consumers really wanted and felt like," Sacks says. "It's their lifestyle. So when Monster was born we were able to do things such as go into extreme sports. It just never was possible before."
Monster continues to market to that target demographic of young, 18- to 30-year-old males who are into action sports, rock music and in need of energy. The demographic is kept in mind as the brand launches new variations from its initial green Monster Energy drink. The product premiered in a 16-ounce can and the "green" lineup, as it is known in the company, has since grown to include a 24-ounce resealable "cap can" and 32-ounce can.
The 24-ounce "cap can" offers more Monster with the advantage of resealability, which is well-suited for the consumer on the move. Addition-ally, the package features an added spectacle of a smoking effect when the can is opened. The package launched last year with the intention of going national, but the demand outstripped the supply so sales were restricted to California, explains Geoff Bremmer, Monster brand manager.
"It became our second best selling SKU at retail, given equal distribution, with our regular green Monster 16-ounce as No. 1," Bremmer says. "What's most exciting about that is our distribution on 24-ounce is not anywhere near the 16-ounce green can yet — it's only half as much."
Also new to the green lineup is the 32-ounce can, which Bremmer says is basically a four-pack of 8-ounce cans in one container. The 32-ounce can retails for $3.99 and recently began shipping.
The first line extension for the brand was Monster Lo-Carb, which is a lower calorie formulation of green Monster, and a personal favorite of Hall, who says he drinks two a day. Unlike many lower carbohydrate formulations, Monster Lo-Carb contains glucose, which is part of Monster's energy blend. According to the company, the inclusion of glucose in this "blue" variety allows for faster delivery of energy benefits.
Within all of its innovation, Monster seeks to expand energy drinks to more usage occasions. Such was the case with Monster Assault, which combines energy with a soft drink flavor, Bremmer says.
"People drink an energy drink maybe at 3 in the afternoon after a long day, before they go out at night or in the morning to get them going, but it's usually for a functional reason," he says. "People drink a cola while they're eating lunch or dinner. The thought on Monster Assault was, 'Let's blend the effectiveness of an energy drink with the refreshment of a soft drink.'"
From there, the brand continued its hybridization with energy and juice products Monster Khaos and M-80. These "plus juice" products not only added health benefits, but also opened the product to morning drinking occasions. While Khaos has a dominant orange flavor and M-80 features more tropical notes, Monster does not base product names on flavors.
"There are no flavors of Monster; there are only different personalities," Hall says. "We have a juice item, Khaos, but when they say, 'What does it taste like?' Our answer is it tastes like 'It.' We don't name the flavors. If I gave it to 10 people, they'd all say something, but they cannot exactly describe what it is. They wouldn't say, 'Oh, it's orange.'"
Additionally, to back up its claims of efficacy, Hansen has a doctor of pharmacology on staff who assists during new product development. If Monster wants to add a new ingredient to its energy blend, it consults with the professor, who evaluates the literature both on the ingredient and its interaction with the existing ingredients, Hall says. The professor also is on hand to answer technical inquiries the brand receives from consumers.
On-premise push
The multiple Monster "personalities" are gaining exposure in the on-premise segment. In May 2006, Hansen and Anheuser-Busch Inc., St. Louis, formed a distribution deal in which select Anheuser-Busch wholesalers will have the rights to distribute Monster, Lost and Rumba energy drinks. Over the course of the year, the distribution rights were transitioned in certain territories from Hansen's network of beer and liquor distributors as well as soft drink bottlers to the Anheuser-Busch system.
Since the agreement, Monster has been working with Anheuser-Busch's distribution network to expand Monster's on-premise availability as well. The company hopes to bring the entire Monster portfolio, including its latest Java Monster lineup, into restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Bremmer says Monster, Lo-Carb, Khaos, M-80, Assault and Java Monster are all good for mixing.
"There is a lot more a bar owner can do with our portfolio and boost their profits through our brands," he says.
Marketing Monster
Much of Monster's status is intertwined in how the brand is marketed. Equally important is how it is not marketed; Monster does no mass media marketing, including television ads or billboards. Instead, it focuses on sponsoring athletes, artists, personalities, tours and events to target its young male demographic.
The company's Southern California roots influence Monster's partnerships, Bremmer says.
"We're based near Orange County, Calif., which is the mecca of action sports: surfing, skating and snowboarding," he says. "Many of the apparel and sports brands like Oakley, Billabong, Burton and Quiksilver; if they are not based in Orange County, they've set up an office here. Corona also is the hotbed of motor sports with many of our sponsored race teams just down the street."
The neon green claw logo has long been a staple at punk rock summer festival The Warped Tour or during action sports competitions such as the X-Games. When Monster was getting its start, Hall and his team offered on-the-spot sponsorships to X-Game athletes. Now the brand is ingrained in the action sports tournament. At this summer's X-Games, Monster athletes scored a total of 14 medals.
Monster has grown along with its athletes. BMX riders (and occasional MTV hosts) Dave Mirra and T.J. Lavin are sponsored by Monster. Racecar driver Robby Gordon is sponsored and will be featured in an upcoming promotion for the brand. It also keeps an eye on up-and-coming athletes, such as Riley Hawk, the son of skateboarding star Tony Hawk.
Monster also works with music artists and tours. This year, OzzFest, which is put on by Black Sabbath member Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon, decided to give back to its fans by removing the entry fee for its tour stops. Instead of paying high prices for tickets to the heavy metal tour, fans could only get tickets through OzzFest's Web site or through a Monster four-pack promotion.
"The batch through OzzFest sold out within one day, so [Monster] was the only place left to get tickets to OzzFest," Bremmer explains. "It was such a huge success that we had over 20,000 ticket redemptions. It went so well we're bringing back a similar promotion this year."
Additionally, Monster has a Hispanic initiative, which sponsors Spanish rock bands and more than 40 events a year. The brand also has a presence on college campuses with Monster ambassadors located on nearly 150 campuses across the country. Furthermore, the brand has approximately 25 street teams in nationwide markets to give out energy "where its consumers need it the most," Bremmer says. The teams may visit beaches, skate parks, record stores and other local hangouts to sample Monster products.
For the virtually minded consumer, Monster integrated itself into "Dave Mirra's BMX Challenge," a video game for Nintendo's Wii game system. In the game, Mirra wears a Monster logo shirt and the game's energy monitor is shaped as Monster's green claw logo. As the player lands BMX tricks, the energy 'M' fills up, and when it's filled to the brim, the player gets an extra burst of energy for its virtual BMX rider.
Adding new Monsters
In order to stay fresh in a fast-growing category, innovation is necessary. While Monster has been at the forefront of hybrid energy products, the brand continues to push the envelope with new entries.
"If you're going to try to get ahead of the pack, in growth, in positioning, you have to be different," Sacks explains. "And to be different you've got to be creative and you've got to be ahead of the curve, which is a colloquial expression everybody uses, but you really need to come out with products that are different and do so ahead of the other people. And then what happens is that everybody copies very quickly, so you find yourself having to continue to innovate and be different."
In June, Monster dared to be different with the launch of Java Monster, a line of coffee/energy drinks. Unlike its brethren, Java Monster features a dairy base with coffee, mocha and vanilla latte flavors. The product features less caffeine than traditional coffeehouse coffee, but with the added effects from the amino acids, B vitamins, taurine and ginseng in its energy blend. Instead of stocking Java Monster alongside energy drinks, Monster is marketed and merchandised as a ready-to-drink coffee beverage.
Not only does the company hope Java Monster brings more efficacy to the RTD coffee category, but also some masculinity. The company is positioning the product as "coffee for real guys," Hall says. It's an RTD coffee product that can be confidently brought on to the job site, Bremmer adds.
Despite its masculine positioning, Monster took a careful approach to the package design of Java Monster. Instead of the Monster logo in metal, the 'M' logo is burned into wood for a homey coffee feel that does not take too much away from Monster's masculine image, Hall explains. Through both the packaging and the product, Java Monster has brought in new consumers.
"The simple vision of Java Monster was to take the energy needs of those consumers who are either afraid, inexperienced or put off by the whole marketing and concept of energy drinks and fulfill their energy needs with a Monster branded product," Hall says. "We were very conscious in the design that we were able to transfer some of our equity over without screwing up who we are and our core imagery."
The line launched in Big Black, Loca Moca and Mean Bean flavors and has been transcending demographics to attract males and females in broad age ranges — when it's been on store shelves. In the first months of the launch, production of Java Monster could hardly keep up with demand.
"It's blown away our forecast," Bremmer says. "We reached the point where we weren't able to fill our orders. A lot of our initial plans were to sample the product using our street teams during the morning shift and really get the product out there, but we weren't able to fill our orders, let alone give the product to our sampling teams. So for 2008 we will be able to do a lot of the things we had planned for 2007."
Not only does the company plan on added visibility for the line, it hints at Java Monster extensions.
"There are a number of SKUs we're going to launch because we really do feel we can command the shelf space," Sacks says. "We think it's important, creative and shouldn't cannibalize the existing energy category. It really should be placed in the coffee door with morning products, with juices and competitive coffee products. We believe that it's going to be incremental because it will draw more consumers into that coffee/energy category and the energy category as such."
Monster hopes the newcomers who are picking up Java Monster will be inspired to try Monster's carbonated varieties.
"The cross-pollenation has been really good," Sacks says. "That's where we are at the moment, but we'll think of new things by the middle of next year, I have no doubt. We'll continue to try to innovate and look at where we should be."
Both Sacks and Hall say the energy category is not just a fad, and even venture to say that energy drinks are the new soft drinks.
"We believe that the energy drink category as a category is here to stay, but there are going to be refinements within that category to keep it interesting, make it interesting for consumers and help broaden it to more consumers," Sacks says. "We think Java Monster is broadening it to the existing consumer and bringing in additional consumers: the morning consumer, the coffee drinker, the orange juice drinker and more."
While Monster makes up more than 80 percent of Hansen Natural Corp.'s sales, according to Rodney Sacks, chairman and chief executive officer, the company remains innovative on the Hansen's Natural side of the business. The natural beverage business was the company's base when Sacks and his partners purchased the juice and natural soda company in 1992.
"Hansen's continues to be a very important and, I think, strategically placed brand in the beverage industry today," Sacks says. "It's a brand that's probably one of the only, if not the only brand, that has real credibility and heritage. Most of the new age brands that are trying to be healthier are brands that are inventions of bigger companies. Hansen's is a brand that started 70 years ago by selling natural, fresh juices to film studios in Southern California. It has continued to enjoy a premium, trusted image and we've continued to build on that."
Hansen's Natural brand is extending Hansen's Natural Soda line with fruit flavors in both regular and sugar-free versions. In contrast to the Monster image, Hansen's new sparkling line is packaged in sleek 10.5-ounce cans with understated packaging. The new line will be sold in four-packs in flavors such as Dragonfruit and Blueberry Pomegranate.
"We're launching a whole new line of products that we believe will resonate well with health-conscious consumers, particularly those who are now expressing concern at the levels of [high] fructose corn syrup in sodas, carbonated products and juices," Sacks explains. "We think we have some great new products that are continuing to innovate and drive the Hansen's business from that side."
As the natural trend encapsulates all areas of the food and beverage industry, the company with the term in its name feels confident in its roots.
"We believe that the Hansen's Natural business is really well positioned going forward to take advantage of this health wave that is sweeping the country," Sacks says.
Preparing for segmentation
Anticipating the trends is one way to stay ahead of the pack. In the energy drink category, Monster thinks the next wave will be price segmentation.
"We anticipate the energy category might be affected by the segmentation we're seeing in the beer market, where there are premium, mid-grade and low-tier products," says Geoff Bremmer, Monster brand manager. "Right now, virtually all energy drinks are at the same price point. We think within the energy drink category, segmentation will start to rise with different packaging sizes and brands to create segments that open the category."
In preparation for segmentation, Hansen Natural Corp. offers several allied brands, including Lost, Rumba, Unbound, Joker and Ace energy drinks. The Monster brand occupies the premium tier. The Lost brand, which was an early partnership for Hansen's with the surfboard manufacturer of the same name, is distributed exclusively by Anheuser-Busch, with which Hansen's formed a partnership in 2006. Rumba energy drink, which is made with juice, also is featured in the distribution partnership.
In a lower-priced tier, are Joker, Unbound and Ace energy drinks. Joker was developed through a partnership between Hansen's and convenience store chain Circle K and was expanded into national direct store distribution for a lower price. That also was the case with Unbound, which was created for AM/PM convenience store chain and since been expanded nationally. Both Joker and Unbound are often run on two for $3 promotions, while Monster retails for $2.29, Bremmer says.

Q: More B-Smooth found at $(\left\lceil\sqrt{xN}\right\rceil)^2 \mod N$ When $N$ is the number you want to factor and you are implementing the quadratic sieve you are searching for b-smooth values at
$$f(x) = (\left\lceil\sqrt{N}\right\rceil + x)^2 \mod N$$
Instead of this, I tried to search them at here
$$h(x) = (\left\lceil\sqrt{xN}\right\rceil)^2 \mod N$$
With prime base of the size $1000$, when factoring a relatively small values of $42$ digits I came to the next result
f(x) 1.412: Processed 11,657,159 B-Smooth found 17 Big primes found 3
h(x) 9.786: Processed 104,965    B-Smooth found 3  Big primes found 30

At the first line you see that after $1.412$ seconds I processed $11,657,159$ values and found $17$ b-smooth values and $3$ big primes(another b-smooth values found by big prime optimization)
And when searching in $h(X)$ I found more relations(b-smooth and big primes) while processing $100$ times less numbers. It took me how ever much longer. This is because I couldn't use the sieving optimization of quadratic sieve, and I made the test in Java. Java use BigIntegers that mutable and therefore not efficient for such calculations.
Do you think that this method could be more efficient than quadratic sieve if implemented properly? What optimizations can you suggest me to test?

OpinionBenjamin Netanyahu
Battered Binyamin Netanyahu comes out fighting
Simon Tisdall
Britain's expulsion of an Israeli diplomat is another blow to Netanyahu, but he's defiant in the face of global pressure

Tue 23 Mar 2010 11.02 EDT
Britain's decision to expel an Israeli diplomat following the use of forged UK passports by the killers of a Hamas commander in Dubai comes as a stunning new blow to prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, just as he was picking himself up off the floor in Washington. But the pugnacious Bibi, as he is commonly known, is a former commando and seasoned political street-fighter. There's no sign yet he is ready to throw in the towel.
Punches have been raining down on Netanyahu from all directions in the past fortnight, ever since the Obama administration in effect declared open season on his government by explicitly condemning a planned housing development in occupied East Jerusalem. It was notable the way the normally tame Quartet peace process group, which comprises the US, Russia, the EU and the UN, joined in the pummelling, setting a 24-month deadline for a two-state solution.
Foreign secretary David Miliband's action over the Dubai affair, in which a hit squad used forged British and other passports, has no direct bearing on US-led efforts to push, shove and elbow the Israelis and Palestinians into a new round of negotiations, termed proximity talks. But the timing of the expected British announcement, only hours before Netanyahu was due to meet Barack Obama at the White House, looks like a calculated punch below the belt.
Netanyahu's position currently resembles that of a dangling dummy on a shooting range where critics and enemies queue up to take a pot shot. He faced stinging attacks during recent visits to Gaza and the West Bank by UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, and EU foreign policy chief, Lady Ashton. Ban said Israeli policy in Gaza was causing "unacceptable suffering". Ashton said bluntly that Israel had been undermining progress toward peace talks. "We [the EU] want results and genuine commitment, a process that leads to outcomes," she said.
From the Arab side, pressure is building, too. The leaders of "moderate" pro-western states such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan have told the US they cannot undertake the confidence-building measures it seeks until there is substantive movement on the Israeli side. In their view, Netanyahu's refusal to halt the East Jerusalem building makes it impossible to move forward.
Emboldened by the uproar, President Mahmoud Abbas greeted Obama's peace envoy, George Mitchell, in Amman this week with a reminder that Palestinians have a "national right of resistance" to Israeli occupation. This was not what Mitchell wanted to hear. Nor can he be encouraged by the deteriorating security situation in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, which have seen lethal clashes in recent days.
Netanyahu's repeat beatings are prompting some circling of the wagons in Israel. "It is hard to escape the conclusion that the new spurt of violence is connected at least in part to the Obama administration's deliberately reignited criticism of Israel," said a Jerusalem Post editorial. "We are concerned that disproportionate ongoing criticism ... can only further embolden intransigence and violence."
Isi Leibler, writing in the same newspaper, decried "the frenzied anti-Israel climate engulfing the world" and went on: "There appears to be a [US] gameplan to force Netanyahu out of office and replace him with a more pliable leader. Ironically, the Obama administration was far more restrained about regime change in Tehran."
Feeding this paranoia, Israeli commentators have noted grimly that General David Petraeus, the hero of Iraq and no liberal, told Congress last week that the continuing Arab-Israeli impasse is damaging US security interest in the Middle East, a gambit lifted from Obama's playbook. His statements have only increased largely unspoken worries about isolation and abandonment.
In this fraught context, today's Obama-Netanyahu encounter is likely to see some superficial fence-mending but no meeting of minds. Meanwhile, US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, the bit now firmly between her teeth, is showing no sign of backing down on Jerusalem, which Netanyahu regards as Israel's indivisible and eternal capital. "New construction in East Jerusalem or the West Bank undermines mutual trust and endangers the proximity talks that are the first step toward full negotiations," Clinton said yesterday.
But Netanyahu, battered but unbowed, is not budging. In a speech to Israel's supporters in Washington before meeting Obama, he laid out the ground on which he will fight. First, he said, the Jews had suffered unprecedented, historic wrongs, and could not in the end rely on the goodwill and good sense of others. Second, another Holocaust now threatens, in the shape of Iran; Israel would "always" reserve the right of self-defence.
Netanyahu said the suggestion that Jews were "foreign colonialists in their own homeland" was one of the "great lies" of our times. "The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 years ago and the Jewish people are building Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It's our capital." Finally, he predicted that any attempt to break the bonds between Israel and the US would fail.
Obama and his advisers can manoeuvre and scheme. There are pressure points to be squeezed, many levers to pull. Playing second fiddle, the EU and the UN can stamp and shout. For their part, the mostly disregarded Arab leaders can fulminate and fume. And it's possible that in time Netanyahu's rightwing coalition will crack, that he will be replaced by the more accommodating Tzipi Livni, or that he will be bulldozed out of the way like an inconvenient Palestinian homestead in East Jerusalem.
But Netanyahu's fight plan is formidable, his red lines clear, and his blood is up. It would be hard for even the strongest US president, let alone the still vulnerable Obama, to railroad him. Bibi is a tough nut to crack.

Insurance cos shift focus from market-linked products
Last updated on: March 15, 2019 08:32 IST
Market-linked products have been driving the growth of private insurers for some time now. But, the market volatility has forced the companies to re-think their strategies, reports Subrata Panda.
Illustration: Uttam Ghosh/Rediff.com
Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance is focusing more on providing living benefits to its customers than protection to their families after death.
Chief Executive Officer Tarun Chugh said, "We have changed our strategy and moved to life goals."
To industry observers this might seem to be against the sector trend, where many insurance companies have shifted focus from market-linked products to pure-protection products.
Chugh, however, said, "The median age in India is 25. Those who are in their 20s are not looking for life cover."
Market-linked products have been driving the growth of private insurers for some time now.
But, the market volatility has forced the companies to re-think their strategies.
While Bajaj Allianz Life continues to grow at twice the pace at which the insurance industry is growing, this year they had to tone down their growth projections.
"ULIPs have come down in terms of growth. Even mutual funds (MFs) have been hit, and so have the ULIPs," Chugh said.
"So, initially our growth rate for the year was higher. But, because the entire base is not expected to grow as much, we have toned our growth expectations."
With a capital of around Rs 9,500 crore, the company has no plans of listing itself on the bourses.
Till date, three life insurance companies have listed themselves on the exchanges.
Like many other insurers, Bajaj Allianz Life also has exposure to the beleaguered IL&FS group.
The life insurer has already made provisions for 75 per cent of the exposure they have to IL&FS, and that too, in one quarter.
On investments, he says, "We are very careful about investing, and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irdai) has very strict norms.
More than 50 per cent of our investments go to government securities."
Not very long ago, the company was heavily depended on the agency channel for the sale of its products.
But, that changed over time.
Now, other channels of distribution contribute 30-40 per cent to their sales.
Bancassurance model -- where an insurance company ties up with banks to sell their products to the banks customers -- contributes 15-18 per cent to their sales.
It has tied up with Dena Bank and Bandhan Bank to further capitalise to sell their products.
On steps being taken to increase their market share in the life insurance space, Chug said, "First thing, is to get the strategy right.
"So, we are focusing on living benefits.
"Then, we are clearly looking at product innovation as a means to reach out to the customer so they are more interested.
"It will put more value on the table."
He added, "Innovative ways of marketing is one of the ways. Plus, there should be more distribution channels."

Families – sometimes you can't live with them, but you wouldn't be living without them. As social demographics adjust and non-nuclear families are becoming more and more prevalent, the so-called 'solutions' from a legislative standpoint create some interesting outcomes. An important consideration in super death benefit planning is ensuring death benefit proceeds get paid to the desired beneficiary with the least potential chance for a challenge.

Daily Practice: We sometimes make excuses for war because we generalize about a group, an organization, a nation - and then create an enemy in our minds. Today when you catch yourself generalizing watch what happens when you pull it into the specific, into a person, into something you can relate to. When you focus on the specific, can you find the thing that drove the feeling of hate? Is the core of it fear because it is so undefined? What does this mindfulness inspire you to do differently today?
Watch what can happen when we let go of generalizations.

India U-15 boys advanced to the semi-finals of the SAFF U-15 Championship in Kathmandu when they blanked Bhutan 4-0 in their last Group league match played at the ANFA Complex in Kathmandu on Monday (October 29, 2018).
For India, Shubho Paul scored a brace while Subba Kushang and Xalxo Aman scored one apiece. India led 1-0 at half-time.
The Indians were off to the perfect start as the first goal came as early as the 4thminute when Shubho converted from the spot – placing it to the right of the rival Goalkeeper Gyeltshen Dorji.
The Indian boys stayed patient as the rivals did manage to sneak into the Indian box on a couple of occasions, especially immediately after resumption.
Their perseverance soon paid dividends as the second goal came in the 66thminute, and it was all wrapped in individual brilliance. Receiving a loose ball in his own half, the irrepressible Subba ran past the entire rival defence, dribbled past three, entered the box and placed into the far corner.
The third goal came in the 83rdminute as Shubho completed his brace. It was a build-up which started in India´s half and after some casual exchanges, Shubho followed up a vicious long ball, sped past all and put it in.
Aman completed the rout in the 89thminute when he tapped into an empty net after the rival goalkeeper had misread a Harsh Patre free-kick.

Jazz scion Ravi Coltrane, the son of jazz pianist Alice Coltrane and saxophonist John Coltrane, finds himself sandwiched by a cadre of powerful and talented women on this jazz-centric bill headlined by the three-time Grammy Award-winning songwriter and jazz vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater. Bridgewater, produced in association with Jill Newman Productions, who also happens to be a Tony Award-winning stage actress and was the host of NPR's syndicated radio show JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater for 23 years, is joined by Quiana Lynell, the winner of the 2017 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition and who trumpeter/composer Terence Blanchard has called a "unique talent" in possession of "the maturity of a well-seasoned vocalist while having a forward-thinking approach to creativity".

Avacodo is probably not what you think of when you think of a baby's first food, but avocados are a really great food for babies to try first. They have a mild taste, have a creamy smooth texture, and are very nutritious. They are loaded in vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. One half cup of avocado contains 6% of the recommended dietary allowance, RDA, (for 7-12 month old infants) for iron, 128% RDA for folate, 966% RDA for Vitamin K, 45% RDA for Vitamin E, and 83% RDA for potassium. Avocado is also a good source of lutein which is an important antioxidant that helps with eye, vision and skin health.
Bananas are a terrific first fruit. They are sweet like breast milk, creamy, easy to digest, and are great sources of fiber, potassium, Vitamin C, and B6. Make sure that the bananas you give your baby are ripe. The ripening process makes them softer and easier to digest. Ripe bananas have antacid-like properties that work with your body's own stomach mucus making it thicker and more protective. They also help promote the good (probiotic) bacteria in your baby's intestines, which improves bowel health and helps your baby to absorb more of the nutrients in foods as they pass through the intestines.
Full of antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber, and Vitamin A and C, butternut squash makes a perfect powerhouse food for your baby. Caretenoids, like beta-carotene, and other phytonutrients found in orange fruits and veggies are important for cell health and may strengthen your baby's immune system. Babies like the sweet, buttery flavor and the fleshy texture of butternut squash. Cut into cubes and baked, they make an easy finger food treat for your 4-to-six-month old.
Carrots may not put hair on your chest like you dad used to tell you, but they are packed with nutrients that will make your baby strong and healthy. One half cup serving of carrots is a complete source of Vitamin A, with over 600% of your baby's RDA for Vitamin A. Vitamin A and carotenoids found in carrots are important for healthy eyes and vision. Carrots are also a good source of Vitamin K, providing over 100% of your baby's RDA per serving. Vitamin K is needed for healthy blood clotting. Served steamed (until soft), your baby can easily pick up, eat and enjoy these naturally sweet and tasty veggies.
Apples, packed with fiber and antioxidants, are a yummy and healthy treat for babies. Apples have numerous health benefits. Researchers have found that the phytonutrients in apples may aid in blood sugar regulation. In addition, the antioxidant-rich fruit may give your baby's immune system a boost. Like bananas, apples are easily digested, and the pectin found in apples may increase the amount of good bacteria in your baby's gut. Before feeding apples to your baby, you will want to peel and soften them first by baking them in the oven, steaming or microwaving.
Multi-textured broccoli, with its soft chewy stalk and bumpy floret, provides your baby with a different taste and texture than other first foods. Broccoli has a mild but slightly bitter flavor. By introducing broccoli to your baby early on, you may help him learn to love this veggie, often hated by kids, and insure that he grows up eating a variety of healthy fruits and veggies. Just one spear of broccoli has over half the Vitamin C your baby needs in a day, 12 times the Vitamin K, and 5 percent of the iron he needs. Broccoli is best served steamed for maximum nutrition benefits and to prevent choking.
Asparagus is another powerhouse vegetable, loaded with fiber, iron, and Vitamins A, C, E, K, riboflavin and folate. Its sweet crunchy flavor and easy to grasp shape make it an ideal first food for babies. Asparagus is made up primarily of carbohydrates but is also a good source of protein. One carbohydrate found in asparagus, inulin, is an excellent "fuel" for the bacteria Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in your baby's intestines. These two bacteria aid in nutrient absorption and may lower your baby's risk of allergies and eczema. Steam or saute asparagus in water until soft before serving.
Peaches are a great first fruit because they are very nutritious and have a little of everything. They are good sources of Vitamin A, C, E, and K, as well as potassium, and fiber. Peaches also contain two important carotenoids, lycopene and lutein, which may protect your baby from cancer. Before feeding your baby this juicy delight, it's important to note that the cooking process may reduce the nutritional value of peaches by as much as 80 percent. If you find soft ripe peaches, there should be no need to cook them. However, if they are too firm or crunchy this could pose a choking hazard and baking or steaming may be necessary.
Steamed or baked, cut into fries or cubes, sweet potatoes are an ideal first food for babies. They are naturally sweet, colorful, and an excellent source of Vitamin A. One serving (about a cup) of sweet potatoes also has 6% RDA for Vitamin C, 100% RDA for Vitamin B6, 64% RDA for potassium, 13% RDA for zinc, and 15% RDA for calcium. Once your baby is over six months, you can add a little butter or olive oil to sweet potatoes to make them more flavorful and nutritious. Researchers have found that adding a little fat to sweet potatoes (at least 3-5 g) helps your body to absorb more of the beta-carotene in sweet potatoes.
Green beans, while not an orange or leafy green veggie, may not seem to be the most nutrition-dense vegetable, but they have some little known health benefits that are important for your growing baby. Green beans provide your baby with an ample amount of Vitamin A, C, K and folate. They are also a good source of iron, magnesium, and potassium. Silica, a mineral that doesn't get much mention, is also found in green beans. Silica, along with Vitamin K, helps your baby to grow strong healthy bones. Green beans should be steamed or boiled in a small amount of water (until soft but not mushy) before serving.

Q: Will history be preserverd when doing a destroy in tfs? Say I have two branches; master and child. I make some changes in child and merges them back to master. When doing a destroy on the child branch, will the history of the changes made in the child branch be lost or are they merged back into the master branch? Do I have to specify the /keephistory parameter?

A: Any branch or item that is "deleted" remains in history. Any branch or item that is destroyed is removed from the database and is therefore not in history. There is not a /keephistory option on a delete because all deletes keep history. I have not personnally used the /keephistory with the destroy command so I can't give you a recommendation on it. Just reading the documentation for it here I would guess that the difference between a regular delete and a destroy with /keephistory on is that the destroy can't be reversed.
In the situation you describe I would not recommend destrying the branch because that is where your history about who changed what lives. When you merge there is only a single check-in that includes all changes merged and it is associated with however checked in the merge.
Before TFS 2010 the history for merges was difficult to follow but possible if you took the time to figure it out. In TFS 2010 it is much easier to see the flow of a change through branches.
I could answer better if I knew your reasoning behind wanting to destroy but here are a couple things to think about: If you are destroying to help you reduce disk space 1) branches don't cost much because they only keep the difference not an entire copy 2)if you are destroying to save disk space and you use /keephistory I would guess that it doens't reduce the disk space usage. If you are destroying because OMG the code is trash and nobody should ever have the chance to be subjected to it's horror, then you are probably overthinking things.

A: I actually tested tf destroy /keephistory option in TFS 2013. /keephistory option actually keeps only the View History and Comments but deletes all the versions of the files. If you try to compare versions, you'll get an error that the file version is destroyed. So if you want to save the comments and the history of who changed the code but really don't care what the exact changes are, you can use /keephistory to save disk space. If you actually want to see and compare old versions, you should keep it in deleted status since destroy with /keephistory option doesn't keep the contents. If the code is useless or checked in with wrong name or something, do tf destroy without /keephistory to wipe out everything including View History and Comments.

A: whether you delete the original source or not. Nothing in TFS is ever really deleted, simply placed into a "deleted state."
