Roughcastle Community Woodland
Lying to the southeast of Bonnybridge, immediately to the south of Roughcastle Fort on the Antonine Wall is Roughcastle Community Woodland. Created on the site of an open cast coal mine, which was worked until 1996. The restored area covers 90 ha (222 acres) of which one third, comprising the eastern section of the area, was restored to farmland and the remainder to form the Roughcastle Community Woodland.
The woodland includes a network of footpaths, picnic areas and viewpoints. The tree planting comprises native species intended to give examples of different woodland species found throughout Scotland.
The woodland was created by Coal Contractors Ltd. who had worked the opencast mine, with design and management assistance from Scottish Woodlands Ltd. and partial funding from the Forestry Authority.
In addition to its recreational uses Roughcastle Community Woodland is used for education, and to promote conservation, by local schools and community groups.

Head of Glencore's agriculture business to retire after 17 years

Chris Mahoney, the veteran head of Glencore's agricultural business, has announced his retirement after 17 years as chief executive.
He will be replaced by David Mattiske, who has spent the past five years running its operations in Europe and the former Soviet Union.
The retirement marks a further changing of the guard at Glencore, the Swiss-based miner and commodity trader.
Last year, Aristotelis Mistakidis, the head of the company's copper business and a key lieutenant of Glencore chief executive Ivan Glasenberg, stepped down.
Mr Glasenberg has said he plans to retire in the next three to five years if he has found a suitable replacement.
"I am proud to have played a part in the significant development of Glencore Agriculture over the last 20 years. In that time it has grown to become a truly global business, underpinned by the quality of its operations and the people that run them," Mr Mahoney said in a statement.
Glencore Agri, as the business is known, is a 50:50 joint venture between Glencore and two Canadian pension funds.
They acquired a stake three years ago when Glencore was seeking to reduce debt and strengthen its balance sheet.
However, the decision to bring in outside investors was not just motivated by a desire to reduce debt but also expand the business through acquisitions.
In 2017 Glencore Agri approached Bunge, the US agricultural trader, with an offer but was quickly rebuffed.
Speaking at the FT Commodities Global Summit in March, Mr Mahoney, who won a silver medal for Great Britain in rowing at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, said the industry needed consolidation. However, the high prices demanded by sellers made deal difficult to do.
He also said the industry, which has seen profits plunge because of overcapacity, needed "bigger companies with a better geographic footprint with a disciplined approach".
His decision to retire comes after a tough year for Glencore Agri, which was hit by poor crops in Australia, Argentina and Brazil and dry spells in Europe over the summer as well as the ongoing trade tensions between the US and China
Glencore's attributable share of profits from the division tumbled by 79 per cent to $21m in 2018, as it traded 75m tonnes of grains, oilseeds, cotton and sugar.
Mr Mahoney, who started his career at Cargill, will remain involved with Glencore Agri as a non executive director.
Under his leadership, Glencore Agri purchased Canadian grain trader Viterra for $6.1bn in cash in a deal that gave the company a foothold in the crucial North American grain market.
"I am privileged to be given this opportunity to build on the significant achievements Chris and the team have made to date," said Mr Mattiske.

Home Business Why Rwanda Will Attend 'G7' Summit
Why Rwanda Will Attend 'G7' Summit
Like every nation in Africa and the world is wondering why Rwanda attending such a prominent summit, everybody is too wondrously skimmed away from the normal thinking, surprisingly looking in skulked as Rwanda take such a historic step.
It Unfolded itself last week as Rwanda was invited to attend the G7 summit which will take place in Biarritz in France on 25th and 26th August 2019. It will be the very first time G7 summit in which the presidency of the French government has invited African countries not only to attend the summit but also in preparatory meetings.
The African countries invited to attend the include Egypt, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa and Burkina Faso and African Union.
Amb. Olivier Nduhungirehe, the State Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in Charge of the East African Community, told The Express News that Rwanda was invited because of its recent role in the African Union affairs.
"Rwanda was invited as the former chair of the African Union, Egypt was invited as the current chair of the Union and South Africa as the incoming chair," he said.
The three countries form what is called the "Troika" of the African Union.
On the other hand, Senegal was invited as the current leader of the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) and Burkina Faso as the chair of G5 Sahel.
"The French Presidency wanted to involve Africa in the summit but also in the preparatory meetings," Nduhungirehe said.
The minister highlighted that the five African countries have taken part in preparatory meetings and will take part in other subsequent meetings that lead up to the Leaders' Summit.
Rwanda is among the only five African nations invited to take part in the upcoming G7 Leaders' Summit, France announced on Monday.
G7 is a club of top rich nations (major economic powers) and France is the current chair the club.
The G7 for group '7' brings together France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada. France assumes the group in 2019
France announced this week that it was looking forward to hosting Rwanda and President Paul Kagame in meetings that will focus on addressing inequalities.
Rwanda was invited along Egypt, South Africa, Senegal, Burkina Faso and the African Union Commission (AUC).
This month, the countries will participate in other meetings, which will discuss women entrepreneurship, digital transformation and transparency in public procurement.
Believably, these are essential conditions to combat inequality of opportunity, digital inclusion, and access to finance.
The outcomes from the meetings are expected to be adopted at the main summit in Biarritz, France later this month.
This year's summit organised by France is motivated by the French President's belief that rich nations cannot continue to define the world order alone.
Last year in September at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, President Emmanuel Macron stressed that "the time when a club of rich countries could alone define the world's balances is long gone."
That is why he wanted the French G7 Presidency in 2019 to be an opportunity to adjust the format of the group, the French Presidency said.
Macron wanted to involve major democracies with major regional influence, African partners to build a renewed partnership and key representatives of civil society.
The aim was to firm coalitions around projects and producing solutions to combat all forms of inequality more "effectively, legitimately and tangibly.

Q: Set the caret position always to end in contenteditable div In my project, I am trying to set the caret position always to the end of the text. I know this is default behaviour but when we add some text dynamically, then the caret position changes to starting point in Chrome and firefox (IE is fine, amazing).
Anyway to make it to work properly in chrome and firefox?
Here is the fiddle

<button class="click">click to add text</butto>

var result = $('#result');
$('.click').click(function () {
    var preHtml = result.html();
    result.html(preHtml + "hello");
    result.focus();
});

I tried adding setStart and setEnd as mentioned in this link but no use.

A: I got the solution here thanks to Tim down :). The problem was that I was calling
placeCaretAtEnd($('#result'));

Instead of
placeCaretAtEnd(($('#result').get(0));

as mentioned by  jwarzech in the comments.

The MuSmate Walking Aid
Medgadget Editors Rehab
The BBC News is reporting about a device invented by a British scientist that might help people with neurological disorders–cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke–to walk or to walk further:
A scientist whose wife has multiple sclerosis has developed a walking aid that has been shortlisted for an award…
The device consists of a shoulder harness and an elasticated cord connected the wearer's shoe.
They are hoping it will help people with MS, cerebral palsy, those recovering from strokes and adrenoleukodystrophy, a condition similar to MS.
"My wife's walking range was down to about 50 or 60 metres," explained Mr Armitage.
"Aerobic fitness is really important. Just because one muscle group doesn't work, that's not to say the others can't do a lot more."
Mr Armitage uses the elastic cord to help people whose muscles won't allow them to lift their feet during that part of the walking cycle.
"We found a way of transferring energy from the strong muscles in the thigh and back to the ones that weren't working."
Confidence boost
The next stage in the product's development was to have it tested by a larger group of people. The South-West MS Society helped by coming up with around 20 volunteers.
According to Mr Armitage, over a 90 day period their walking speed increased by more than 100%.
The volunteers also reported – though this was not measured scientifically – that the distance that they were able to walk increased by up to 600%.

How to make a speed loader for your airsoft gun?
A speed loader is a device used to rapidly reload a magazine. There are many different ways to make a speed loader for an airsoft gun, but the most common methods involve using a detailed template or a premade speed loader. Speed loaders can be made out of almost anything, but most are made out of ABS plastic or aluminum. Below are instructions on how to make a speed loader for an airsoft gun.
To make a speed loader for your airsoft gun, you'll need a few things: a strip of velcro, a piece of plastic or metal (preferably black), and something to use as a handle. Cut the velcro to the desired length and width, then adhere it to the back of the plastic or metal. Cut a small hole in the center of the velcro, then thread the handle through. You're now ready to load your airsoft gun quickly and easily!
Do you need a speed loader for airsoft?
If you play airsoft, you NEED this. This is a great product. If you don't know how it works, it is like a spring loaded syringe for loading BBs into an airsoft gun magazine. You fill the reservoir with BBs, line up the hole on the bottom of the loader with the hole in your magazine and push the plunger down.
A speed loader is a device that helps to rapidly reload a firearm. It is typically used to reload a revolver, but can also be used to reload some types of pistols. Speed loaders typically hold more rounds than a standard magazine, and they are designed to allow the rounds to be quickly inserted into the firearm.
Is a speed loader necessary
A speed loader is a handy tool that can help make reloading your gun a quicker and easier process. If you are someone who takes their shooting seriously, investing in a speed loader is a good idea. No matter what type of gun you have, reloading is a universal process. And can be quite time-consuming if you have to do it by hand. A speed loader can help make things go much faster and smoother.
The revolver speedloader is a great invention that allows you to quickly and easily load a full cylinder of cartridges. They are usually made in a circular configuration, which makes it easy to drop the cartridges into the cylinder all at once. However, there are also non-circular types of speedloaders, such as half moon clips, that are also very common.
Is 500 fps allowed in airsoft?
The velocity of an airsoft gun may not exceed 500 feet per second, or 231 joules maximum. The minimum engagement distance is 100 feet. Biodegradable BBs are mandatory. There are no exceptions.
The main thing to keep in mind when playing with a high FPS is to be aware of your surroundings and the people around you. While a high FPS can give you an advantage in most situations, there are some situations where it can be a hindrance. For example, if you're playing in a close quarters environment, a high FPS can actually make it harder to hit your target because the crosshair is moving so fast. In these situations, it's best to keep the FPS around 330-360 to prevent injury to other players.
How old is airsoft?
Airsoft originated in Japan in the early 1970s when photographer Ichiro Nagata, an avid shooting enthusiast himself, thought about making model guns that shoot real projectiles that could not kill. He created the first airsoft gun, which used compressed air to shoot plastic pellets, in 1974. The first airsoft gun was modeled after a real gun and looked so realistic that it caused a stir when Nagata took it out in public.
Being a successful airsoft sniper takes a lot of practice, dedication, and skill. If you want to be the best, you need to be able to hit your targets from long range, even when there is only the slightest bit of cover. This can be difficult, as even the smallest amount of cover can deflect a bullet. However, with the right sniper rifle, camouflage, and some tried and true tactics, you can overcome any obstacle.
READ How to tell airsoft from real gun?
Are speed loaders Universal
There are universal magazine speed loaders that can work with almost any type of gun. However, if you want to be more specific, you need to make sure that the magazine speed loader you choose is compatible with the magazine of your gun. This way, you can be sure that it will work properly and not cause any issues.
The Fast Loader is a SQL-based bulk load utility that enables the user to load high volumes of data into Emptoris® Contract Management on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Data loading is exponentially faster than with the Standard Loader. The Fast Loader can be used to load data into Emptoris Contract Management on a one-time basis or on a recurring basis.
Does the military use Speedloader?
The Speedloader is the only tactical speedloader developed for the US Military, Law Enforcement and the great American gun owner! Our patented speedloader is currently used by units in the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Special Operations.
A speed loader is a device that can be used to rapidly reload a firearm. Speed loaders are typically used when reloading a revolver, but can also be used with some semi-automatic pistols. Speed loaders typically hold rounds in a circular or star-shaped arrangement and are inserted into the cylinder of a revolver or magazine of a pistol.
Most speed loaders can be reused 50 to 100 times, but it is important to note that they must be used properly in order to be effective. improperly using a speed loader can result in rounds being damaged or jammed, which can render the speed loader unusable.
How much HP does a loader have
A wheel loader is a type of heavy machinery used for construction and landscaping purposes. There are four main types of wheel loaders, based on the size and power of the machine: compact, small, mid-range, and heavy.
Compact wheel loaders are the smallest and least powerful type, with a maximum horsepower of 80. They are best suited for light-duty tasks such as loading and unloading small trucks or moving materials around a construction site.
Small wheel loaders are slightly larger and more powerful than compact loaders, with a horsepower range of 81-150. They can handle heavier loads and are better suited for tasks such as concrete demolition or clearing snow.
Mid-range wheel loaders are the most popular type, with a horsepower range of 151-200. They are powerful enough to handle most construction and landscaping tasks, but are still compact enough to maneuver easily.
Heavy wheel loaders are the largest and most powerful type, with a horsepower of 201 or more. They are best suited for heavy-duty tasks such as loading and unloading large trucks or moving extremely heavy materials.
When loading and unloading chemicals and bulk solids, it is important to use the proper equipment to avoid spillage or other damage. These materials should be moved slowly and carefully to avoid any accidents.
What are the different types of loaders?
Backhoe loaders are versatile machines that can be used for a variety of applications, from construction and landscaping to mining and quarrying. Skid steer loaders are smaller and more manoeuvrable than backhoe loaders, making them ideal for tight spaces. Compact track/multi-terrain loaders are designed for use on rough terrain and have a lower ground pressure than wheel loaders. Wheel loaders come in a variety of sizes, from compact to large, to suit your needs.
While BB guns may be able to shoot faster than 60 m/s, they are often not as powerful as a conventional pellet airgun. Pellet airguns have the ability to fire considerably faster, often beyond 170 m/s. This makes them more suitable for use in competition or hunting, where superior speed and accuracy are more important than raw power.
READ How to get organge tip off airsoft gun?
The KWC M712 CO2 airsoft pistol is a powerful airsoft pistol that is based on the Mauser Schnellfeuer 712 Broomhandle. This pistol has a high power level, shooting at 420 FPS. This makes it a great choice for those who want a powerful airsoft pistol that can still be used for close range combat.
Paintball velocity refers to the speed at which a paintball travels when it is fired from a paintball gun. The industry standard maximum velocity for safe play is 300 FPS (feet per second), about 91 meters per second. This ensures that the paintball will not cause serious injury if it hits someone. Some paintball guns are capable of firing at higher velocities, but this is not recommended as it increases the risk of injury.
How far can 400 fps go
The high FPS of 400 results in a high muzzle velocity which enables the BB to travel further and straighter than lower FPS airsoft guns. The effective range is the distance at which the BB will still have enough energy to penetrate a target, and this will vary depending on the airsoft gun and BB weight. For comparison, the average human arm can throw a baseball about 60mph, so a 400FPS airsoft gun can shoot about 3 times as far as a human can throw.
A 02g bb travelling at 328fps has the energy of 1 Joule.
Though getting shot with a plastic airsoft BB is less painful than a steel BB, it is still not a pleasurable experience. Airsoft guns shoot plastic pellets at a velocity that can break the skin, so getting hit by one can still cause bruising and swelling.
Pellet and BB guns are high powered and can easily injure or kill a child. They should be used only under adult supervision. The Consumer Products Safety Commission recommends only kids 16 years of age or older use BB guns.
Is airsoft OK for kids
Though technically airsoft guns are not firearms, they can still pose a safety hazard if not used properly. For this reason, many airsoft fields have a minimum age requirement of 12. This ensures that players are old enough to understand and follow the safety rules.
Airsoft is a great game for people of all ages, but it is important to understand the risks involved. There have been many cases of people being injured from being hit by a ball or falling on the range, so it is recommended to start playing airsoft at the age of 18. By following this advice, you can ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience on the airsoft field.
Do airsoft hits hurt
Airsoft guns are only dangerous if used recklessly. If you are shot in exposed skin, the pain is minimal and usually only leaves a mark. However, if you are shot in the eye or another sensitive area, serious injury could occur. Use caution and common sense when handling any type of gun.
Paintballs have more than 10 times the energy that airsoft BBs carry. Keep in mind, paintballs are going to hurt a lot more when compared to airsoft BBs. Paintballs have more surface area than a 6mm BB, which makes them more likely to cause bruising.
Can airsoft hurt squirrels
If you're looking to inflict pain on a squirrel, airsoft is a good option. The high-velocity pellets can break bones and cause other serious injuries. however, it's unlikely that you'll be able to kill the squirrel with airsoft alone. euthanasia may be a more humane option.
A maglula loader is a great way to reduce the amount of effort needed to load a magazine, as well as reduce the chances of causing damage to the magazine. repetetive loading and reloading of magazines by hand can cause damage to them, so using a maglula loader can help to reduce that damage.

MX is one of Europe's largest hydraulic loader manufacturers, with models covering everything from 15hp compact models to the TX425 designed for 200-400hp tractors. The company is based in Acigné on the north-eastern outskirts of Rennes, north-west France.
How fast does a loader go
Most backhoe loaders can only travel up to 22 mph, and consume about 11 gallons of fuel per hour. This is a minimum, and it means that these vehicles are not very fuel efficient. If you're looking to save money on fuel, you might want to consider another type of vehicle.
The dual dust collection system on the Jet Loader is very effective at removing dust. This system helps to double conveying capacity while using half the power consumed by conventional loaders. This is a very innovative design that helps to keep the work area clean and efficient.
What is mining loader
A loader is a construction machine used for digging and moving earth and other materials. It is often used to move a stockpiled material from ground level and deposit it into an awaiting dump truck or into an open trench excavation. The loader assembly may be a removable attachment or permanently mounted.
The Army has chosen a new weapon system for its close quarters combat needs. The system chosen is a fully automatic carbine and machine gun with 68-millimeter ammunition. The system was chosen specifically for close quarters combat, as it provides significantly improved accuracy, range and lethality over previous systems. The new system will provide the Army with a significant combat capability improvement, and is a significant step forward in close quarters combat readiness.

Is a speed loader a clip
A speedloader is a device that is used to quickly drop ammunition into a revolver's chambers. A speedloader would not be used to remove that ammunition. By the way, pistols (ie handguns that aren't revolvers) do not use speedloaders. The majority of pistols use magazines (not clips).

Q: C++ static const variable and destruction I have encountered a strange behavior with a simple C++ class.
classA.h
class A
{
public:
  A();
  ~A();
  static const std::string CONST_STR;
};

classA.cpp
#include "classA.h"
#include <cassert>

const std::string A::CONST_STR("some text");

A::A()
{
  assert(!CONST_STR.empty()); //OK
}

A::~A()
{
  assert(!CONST_STR.empty()); //fails
}

main.cpp
#include <memory>
#include <classA.h>

std::auto_ptr<A> g_aStuff;

int main()
{
  //do something ...
  g_aStuff = std::auto_ptr<A>(new A());
  //do something ...
  return 0;
}

I'd expect access violations or anything similar, but I'd never expect that the content of the static const string could change. Does anyone here have a good explanation what happens in that code?
thanks,
Norbert

A: Edit: Apparently the missing A:: was a typo in the original post of the code.
Original Answer:
Do you mean to have

    const std::string A::CONST_STR("some text");

so that the CONST_STR is part of class A?
Otherwise you are declaring it separately and not initializing the static member of A.

A: You're creating 2 static variables in two different compilation units. There is no way to tell in which order they are initialized. But their destructors are always called in reverse order.
In your case it seems that next scenario took place:
g_aStuff constructor
CONST_STR constructor

main funciton initializes g_aStuff

CONST_str destructor
g_aStuff descrutor

At this point result of CONST_STR.empty() is undefined. Which may trigger assert.

A:
I'd expect access violations or
  anything similar, but I'd never expect
  that the content of the static const
  string could change.

Undefined behaviour: it is undefined. If CONST_STR has been destroyed, then you are not guaranteed a hardware exception if you access it. It might crash, but then again its address might end up containing data which looks like an empty string: its destructor might clear pointers or whatever.
In this case, you say that the A instance is also stored in a global smart pointer, which is assigned in main(). So the CONST_STR has been constructed when it is accessed in the A constructor, but quite possibly is destroyed before the smart pointer is destroyed. We'd need the whole program to say for sure.
[Edit: you've done that. Since CONST_STR and g_aStuff are defined in different compilation units, their relative order of construction is not defined by the standard. I'm guessing that CONST_STR is being destroyed first.]

A: The const std::string CONST_STR("some text"); defined in classA.cpp is not a member of A. That definition would look like:

const std::string A::CONST_STR("some text");

A: The standard doesn't specify the order of initialization of global/static objects in different translation units. It does, however, guarantee that each such object will be initialized before any function from that translation unit is executed.
In your case, it happens that CONST_STR is initialized after g_aStuff and, since the order of destruction is reverse from the order of construction, it gets destroyed before it. Thus, accessing CONST_STR from A's destructor invokes undefined behavior - you might get an access violation or you might not.
CONST_STR is, however, initialized before A's constructor is executed because they are in the same translation unit.

A: It might happen if there is a global instance of A (or a static class member of type A). Since the order of the initialization of globals and statics is not defined (cross translation units), it can be.

A: Looking at your full code, you're relying on the order of destruction across compilation units (classA.cpp and main.cpp).  If you create g_aStuff as a local in main, your asserts should pass.

The proposal unveiled on Monday is preparing to ban plastic cotton buds, cutlery and plates, straws, drink stirrers and balloon sticks.
The European Commission has called for a ban on single-use plastic products, including cutlery and straws, in an effort to combat ocean and beach pollution.
The European Commission said its proposal would seek to cut marine litter in half for the 10 most prominent items and avoid environmental damage estimated at over $250 billion over the next dozen years.
The European Commission plans to ban a number of plastic disposable products and to penalize member countries of the EU for plastic trash that is not recyclable, reports DW.
"We anticipate to see an enormous backlash from producers within the subsequent months, who've already been very vocal in opposition to bans and monetary obligations on producers, and who insist voluntary initiatives are sufficient to finish the plastic disaster", Ms. However, only limited measures around consumer awareness of re-use, waste management options and marine litter impact have been introduced to attempt to curb the amount of abandoned nets at sea.
Awareness-raising measures: European Union countries will be obliged to raise consumers' awareness about the negative impact of littering of single-use plastics and fishing gear as well as about the available re-use systems and waste management options for all these products. Single-use drinks containers made with plastic will only be allowed on the market if their caps and lids remain attached.
Unlike EU regulations (such as the new General Data Protection Regulation, Europe's new privacy regime), which apply uniformly across the bloc, EU directives give member states some leeway in how they can implement the new law.
"Plastic can be fantastic, but we need to use it more responsibly", Jyrki Katainen, a European Commission vice president, said in a press release announcing the draft rules. Where there aren't "straight-forward alternatives", the focus will be on limiting their use through a national reduction in consumption.
On a global basis, only 14 percent of plastic is collected for recycling.
Plastic manufacturers in Europe represented by Plastics Europe said that the ban isn't a solution and that more resources should be dedicated to waste management for better collection of plastic.


This year's St. Louis Section ACS Award was given to Professor James Janetka of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, and Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Washingon University in St. Louis. To celebrate the award, a symposium on "Mimicking Nature's Biomolecules in Transformational Drug Discovery" was held on Friday November 2 in Erlanger Hall, at the Washington University Medical School with generous support by two companies, Fimbrion and ProteXase.
The symposium was led off by Suzy Hartman (chair elect) who described the local ACS and its activities, who then handed over the program to Prof. John Cooper, chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, who introduced Professor James Janetka. Dr. Janetka talked about his fascinating career in medicinal chemistry that culminated in the founding of ProteXase and Fimbrion. After his talk, Dr. Janetka introduced David Crich who spoke about RNA-targeted aminoglycoside antibiotic development. The third talk was by Robert Galemmo on the development of the factor Xa anti-coagulant Eliquis.
After the coffee break, Dr. John Tally (a former St. Louis Award winner) spoke on the discovery of the Cox-2 inhibitor Celebrex, and finally, Tomi Sawyer from Merck spoke on stapled peptides. The symposium was well attended by local faculty, staff, students and employes of local companies. The symposium was followed by a one-hour open bar reception with appetizers, and was followed immediately thereafter by the Award Banquet.

It is 7:55, five minutes before the second bell rings. You anxiously wait to cross the street while a traffic line of cars pass by. And so, you risk it and decide to jay-walk, trying to not get noticed by Mr. Hop. You're lucky–he's nowhere in sight! But, right after you step on campus, you get stopped by Ms. Castellanos. OH NO!
Did you forget your student ID? No, you remember you picked it from the kitchen table. But wait, oh shoot! You remember you forgot to tuck in your shirt. You receive a warning, and you make a run for it to sign up for homework hotspot. You question your procrastination the night before you sent your essay to turnitin.com or to google classroom for Ms.Pham's class.
And then… there goes the bell, just seconds before entering your class. And now, you have to walk back to the office and get a tardy slip.
These are the daily struggles that most of us freshmen have to adapt to, on our day-to-day mornings. And so, we conducted a survey for the Class of 2022 on how their first semester went. Here are the results and data we collected regarding the 1st semester, taken from the results we received from a total of 43 students.

Q: Prove that $1, 1+x, (1+x)^2,\ldots$, forms a basis for $\Bbb R[X]$ as a $\Bbb R$ vector space How can we prove that the polynomials $1, 1+X, (1+X)^2, (1+X)^3 ...$ form a basis for $\Bbb R[x]$, where $\Bbb R(x)$ is the polynomial ring(which is also a vector space over $\Bbb R$)?
I think we have to use the binomial expansion of $(1+X)^n$, but I don't know how.

A: Show that the map
$$f(a_0+a_1X+\cdots+a_nX^n)=a_0+a_1(1+X)+\cdots+a_n(1+X)^n$$
is a one-to-one and onto linear transformation.
Since $\{1, X, X^2,\ldots X^n\}$ is a basis for $\Bbb R[X]$, $\{1,1+X,(1+X)^2,\ldots\}$ will be also.

A: Hint: Prove by induction that

For every $n\in\mathbb N$, $\quad1,x,\dots,x^n$ and $1,1+x,\dots,(1+x)^n$ generate the same subspace.

Use the binomial theorem on $(1+x)^n$ to get $x^n$.

Close to three quarters of the world's population will be exposed to deadly heatwaves by the year 2100. That's according to a study led by a University of Manoa researcher Camilo Mora.
HONOLULU - Close to three quarters of the world's population will be exposed to deadly heatwaves by the year 2100.
That's according to a study led by a University of Manoa researcher Camilo Mora.
The study points out that the number of heatwaves will increase due to rising temperatures and higher humidity. According to Mora, heatwaves will last longer as well.
The study suggests deadly heatwaves are inevitable because of the existing damage present on Earth but a dramatic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions could help cut down the number of heatwaves.

CCP CEO Says Gamers Should Be Able To Make Retirement Plans With Money Earned In Games – Wccftech
CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson made an interesting statement in an interview with The Korea Economic Daily. According to Pétursson, gamers should be able to make retirement plans with money they've earned in games. This, of course, implies that playing games should be a profitable activity for users. Here's the relevant quote:
Gamers hope that the values created from online games can also be used in reality. The online gaming content should have practical values in the real world. The gaming industry should evolve to allow gamers to make retirement plans by using the money they earn from games.
This isn't the first time Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games (the Icelandic company known for sci-fi sandbox MMO EVE Online, acquired by Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss back in September 2018), commented on this potential use case of blockchain technology within games. Four years and a half ago, he said:
I believe an economy built on the blockchain is a more valuable economy than one implemented on a proprietary database, and it also opens up the idea that people can truly own their assets. Owning, in an undisputed way, an item on a blockchain – this has never been done before. It's never been possible to ascribe ownership in such a strong way before, not even with physical ownership.
I can envisage a world a few decades from now where no one would want to work in a game economy to accumulate game assets that don't really belong to you. In a way, you're playing a game not only for your own enjoyment and to escape reality, but you're also feeding your family because the assets of the virtual world are no different to those of today's economy.
It will take decades for people to truly understand, but I believe that owning digital things in a proprietary company database will be frowned upon because it's not true ownership.
Worried EVE Online fans should rest assured, though, as Pétursson quickly clarified to The Korea Economic Daily that there are no concrete plans to add NFTs (non-fungible tokens) or P2E (play-to-earn) elements.
We have conducted research related to NFT and blockchain as they are based on a decentralized system, which is similar to CCP Games' operation. However, it is a little too early for us to entirely introduce NFTs or P2E.
NFTs and blockchain transactions have become somewhat of a minefield in gaming these past few weeks. We've seen significant backlash for the recent announcements of NFT platforms like Ubisoft Quartz and the STALKER Metaverse, with GSC Game World forced to do a quick turnaround and outright cancel the latter.
However, the play to earn model is a bit of a different beast. In P2E games, users can actually earn money by participating in the game's mechanics. Two of the most famous examples are The Sandbox, where creators can monetize their voxel creations with blockchain technology, and Axie Infinity, a Pokémon style game where the titular Axies monsters can be bred, trained, and then traded for Ethereum cryptocurrency. According to several reports, many gamers in countries like the Philippines have successfully dropped their jobs during the pandemic to dedicate themselves to Axie Infinity, with top earners making thousands of dollars each month in the process.
Robot Cache, the PC game distribution platform founded by inXile boss Brian Fargo and powered by AMD hardware, also added some play to earn elements this year thanks to a partnership with CasperLabs and its Proof-of-Stake blockchain technology. That's on top of existing features such as the ability to resell digital games.
Are you interested in the play to earn model applied to triple-A gaming, as envisioned by CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson? Let us know in the comments and via the poll below!

Q: Roaming Profile Files and Settings Disappear This morning a user, let's call them Greg, logged into their laptop which is running Windows 8 Pro. Their profile is a roaming profile, Active Directory is running on Windows Server 2012.
It took several minutes for their computer to finally log in. Usually the login is practically instant. Then there were some Lenovo automatic updates. Once they finally got into the computer, they discovered that all the files on their Desktop and files under Documents were missing. All that was left was two files on the Desktop and two under Documents out of dozens that were there on Friday when they shut down. Also all their settings like browser bookmarks and Skype login were missing/blank.
At first I thought that the profile had been switched from Roaming to Local. So I checked, but it was still set to Roaming. So I had them log into another computer, to see if it would pull down their documents. No luck, they just saw those same 4 files under Desktop and Documents.
I looked on the server under \\storageserver\profiles$\greg but that folder is completely empty. I then tried to look under \\storageserver\profiles$\greg.V2 but it says Access is Denied. I've since learned that is due to some group permissions that need to be set up prior to the creation of the user folders.
Does anyone know why the files would disappear? If they are still around, where could they be?
Possibly important: The only other things that has happened on that computer is that the computer name was changed to something more descriptive six days ago. They have logged off and shutdown many times since then, so can't see how that would be the issue that caused this? Not sure if changing the name back would make the files appear again?
No one else here has had issues with the roaming profiles or files disappearing. This is also the first time this has happened to my knowledge. This is also the only laptop here that is that model of Lenovo, and got whatever those updates were.

A: I wasn't able to figure out why the files disappeared from the user's profile. What I did instead was run EaseUS (deleted file restoration software) on the server that contained the roaming profiles and recover the files that way.


HypnoBirthing® is a natural calling for me. It joins the two things to which I have lovingly devoted my life: nature and children.
As an organic gardener, the magnificent power and perfection of the natural world never ceases to amaze me. Life is indeed a miracle, and we are all so marvelously made! The Creator of life on Earth is the foundation of my spiritual connection – it has never failed me. I believe in using our intelligence to change ourselves according to nature's ways, rather than trying to change nature according to our whims.
That's why I support my family's health with a healthy lifestyle. And guess what? We rarely get sick. That's why I support you in having a healthy birth. That way, everything is much more likely to happen smoothly and optimally, according to nature's perfect plan.
And it all begins with a healthy pregnancy and a peaceful birth.

Think you can get through the winter without a great pair of sunglasses? Think again.
Fifteen frames. Three kinds. All set. Because you need them.
This version of the Wayfarer, with an acetate top and metal bottom, has been around since the 50's and is enjoying something of a renaissance. And since Clubmasters go perfectly with a flannel suit, we expect that renaissance to last for a quite a while longer.
Nothing is more modern that a pair of aviators in acetate, and while other sunglass fads come and go, this style has been going strong for years. Buy them because they look good with a parka. Keep wearing them because they look great with a tan.
And for those who like a little more daring in their eyewear, there's a new generation of shades that's crafted using both metal and acetate — leather, even — to create shapes and styles that wouldn't have been possible just a few years ago.

Q: Mint Linux Visual Studio terminal cant run commands This issue is just driving me crazy. I have used VB with SSH before and had no issues. For the first time I decided to make the change to mint for my computer just run into a crazy amount of privilege's issues. However this one I just cant figure it out.
I am opened the terminal in Visual Studio and tried to send a sudo, php, apt-get literally any command. It will always come back with command not found. I also tried to open a bash terminal and got the same result.
However if I just open a normal mint terminal all the commands work. So it is not that i dont have sudo or apt-get install.
What am i doing wrong here?

A: i once had this problem and fixed it by changing the sh ( top right corner of the terminal ) to bash by clicking it, check if maybe you have the option to

FN Recently announced the release of their newest pistol line, yes you read that correctly: This is a confirmed new lineup of pistols from the battle proven firearms manufacturer. While they won't really tell me what that means, we can all guess that it's something along the lines of a compact/subcompact line of guns, likely ranging in different calibers.
I recently got a chance to catch up with some of the folks from FN at the 2017 NRA Annual Meetings (NRAAM), and what follows is what I found out.
The 509 takes a lot of cues from its FNS brethren, with just enough changes to make it different. It comes with a 4 inch barrel, a 17 round magazine, and the only option currently available is in 9mm parabellum. As a side note, for those of you who live in a more unfriendly gun state, there are also 10 round mags, as well to help you conform to the crappy laws in your state.
Furthermore, the FN 509 is taken to a new level with front and rear deep-cut serrations, 3-dot luminescent sights, a new grip texture pattern that I think is an improvement, and an ambidextrous slide release.
What did you think? Is this something you're excited for? Do you own any of FN's products right now? Let me know in the comments below, and make sure you stay tuned because we've got more NRAAM 2017 coverage coming your way, soon.

Hotcakes has already brought you a brilliant new video from Caribou yesterday but it seems that is just not enough. It seems that long term friends/tour mates/ remixers of each others tracks Dan Snaith and Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet are set to release a vinyl only 12″ single through Hebden's own Text Records.
Four Tet's offering is called 'Pinnacles' whilst Dan Snaith a.k.a. Caribou's half will be 'Ye Ye', and this track will be the first under a new name of Daphni.
The duo have yet to announce an official release date, Caribou's soundcloud page just says we can expect it "soon" – as the producers of two of hotcakes favourite albums of 2010 we'll keep our fingers crossed they hurry up!

Sam Pond named to Temple Law School Board of Visitors
Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano Managing Partner Samuel H. Pond has been named to the Temple University Beasley School of Law Board of Visitors. Composed of Temple Law alumni and other luminaries from the local legal community, the board serves in an advisory capacity to the Dean of the Law School.
Pond will be officially appointed to the board by Temple University President Richard M. Englert and introduced at a Dec. 6 meeting by Board of Visitors Chair Leonard Barrack.
The honor is particularly meaningful to Pond, a 1984 graduate of the law school who recently returned as adjunct faculty.

Ubisoft Dev: Red Steel Isn't about Killing People
If you go to Gamespot, and look at their live on stage demo, the Ubisoft developer doing the demo has this to say:
"Killing people isn't the point of the game. Its about impressing your enemies, and sparing your enemies."
What the hell? Don't get me wrong, you don't need to kill people to make a game good, but seriously, the object of the game is to spare your enemies? Really, what is the fun in that?
Not to mention the lack of blood. You also don't need any blood to make a game great, but when I'm swordfighting a shirtless guy, I expect him to at least bleed when I slash him across the chest.
I don't know, there's still six months left for them to really make this game great, but the premise of sparing enemies as the central point of the game doesn't have me trembling with excitement.

Re: Ubisoft Dev: Red Steel Isn't about Killing People
I don't know where I heard it (Maybe here) but Red Steel didn't look that spectacular.
They can polish it up with plenty of time to spare.
I heard that too. Plus, I heard that the aiming was really clunky, and that lots of the "destructible enviroments" weren't destructable at all.
Not to mention the worst news, which is that in the swordfights, the sword onscreen doesn't even mimic how you move the Wii remote. So say, you do a diagnol slash with the remote, then the game will wait a couple of seconds then do a generic vertical slash. So no matter how many different vertical slashes you do, the character will always do the one same slash.
This explains it better:
http://revolution.ign.com/articles/707/707908p1.html
"Instead of mimicking every movement of your hand (something that is done in Nintendo Baseball), Red Steel instead waits for a full action to be done with the Wii-mote, and then executes it on screen. What this means, however, is that it is simply simulating a button press. If multiple people play the sword portion, you should see multiple swipes and styles coming form the character on-screen. After all, everyone swings differently. Instead, there are only a few different swipes that will be recognized. If you swipe the Wii-mote horizontally, it will show a horizontal swipe. Attempt an upper-cut motion, however, and the action is shown as a generic up-to-down slice instead, as if you went from above your head and down. The difference here is a bit hard to explain, but it will make or break the experience. Right now motions convert to a pre-determined swipe, instead of the player actually using the Wii-mote to realistically attack with a virtual sword. The difference is huge, and it has to be tweaked."
^^and they say this is the good part of the game.

I think this is a good idea. For example, a real cop or w/e the main character is wouldn't run through the buildings shooting everything that moves! They would disable and arrest them if they can do it without serious personal harm. Or whatever.
Also, I am mostly against killing when I don't have to, although I'm fine with it in Video games, It still kind of bugs me sometimes...
Quote from: MetallicDragon on May 12, 2006, 11:16:55 pm
But whats the fun in that? The main character isn't a cop. I demend more violence dammit!
One of my all time favorite games, Splinter Cell, makes killing an absolute last resort. And thats fun, because your playing as a spy, and using stealth. But Red Steel is different. Its an FPS with great control and swordplay. I just think that the point of the game being "sparing people" sounds incredibly boring, especially one where I'm able to swordfight on roofs.

Q: How to select top results from stored procedure I have Stored procedure spSelectStudents is being used like a view and I have no rights to alter it.
I need something like "exec top 10 spSelectStudents"

A: If you know what results you're getting from the stored procedure, you can always create a (temporary) table (with columns corresponding to the results of executing the stored procedure) and
INSERT #tmptable EXEC spSelectStudents
then query the temporary table in whatever way you want to. An alternative is using OPENROWSET, but that has its own issues and permission requirements.

A: Below script will move the result of the procedure spSelectStudents  to a temporary table ##tmpTable
 CREATE TABLE ##tmpTable (
  <Your Colums> < datatype >
 )
-- Insert result from the SP to temp table
INSERT INTO ##tmpTable
EXEC spSelectStudents

SELECT TOP 10 * FROM ##tmpTable

An eight-hour endurance race? On tiddlers? In the sunny South of Africa? How could we possibly refuse?
We do love a good endurance race here at SuerBike Magazine, although its been a long while since our last effort with the SuperBike R1, Which ended in splinters of fiberglass and a pool of oil. This time the location was on the opposite side of the globe at Killarney race track in Cape Town, South Africa. Yup, a fair old hike to go for an endurance race, but fortunately the bike was already there, saving me from the wrath of the BA cabin crew as I tried to squeeze a pair of fork legs into the overhead storage. The race we were headed to was the Killarney RST 8-hour, it's been running for twenty years, even factory teams have attended and now, team SuperBike has stepped up to the plate.

[ A.C. No. 5763 (Formerly CBD 01-864), December 03, 2002 ]
GABRIEL T. INGLES, COMPLAINANT, VS. ATTY. VICTOR DELA SERNA, RESPONDENT.
VITUG, J.:
In a complaint, dated 25 July 2001, filed before the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), Atty. Gabriel Ingles, charged Atty. Victor dela Serna with violation, specifically of Canon 8, Rule 8.01, of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
The complaint stemmed from a memorandum submitted by Atty. dela Serna in Civil Case No. 5781, entitled "Cattleya Land, Inc., vs. Carmelita Fudot Singpit and Atty. Narciso dela Serna," before the Regional Trial Court, Branch 4, of Bohol. Respondent lawyer, who represented the defendant, stated in his memorandum thusly:
"Recourse Available to Cattleya
"When it turned out that Tecson had already sold Lot 2-A to Fudot TCT -17402 in 1986, Cattleya can blame only its lawyers, Atty. Federico Cabilao and Atty. Gabriel Ingles. Apparently, these lawyers were themselves fooling Cattleya so that they can get their commission and overprice immediately. x x x (Underscoring supplied).
"Bad Faith on the Part of Cattleya and Its Lawyers Cabilao and Ingles
"x x x The reason is obvious, Cattleya through its agents and lawyers, Atty. Cabilao and Atty. Ingles, are in cohorts with Tecson and Pizarras."[1]
Complainant averred that the statements were false and malicious and argued that they were uncalled for in a memorandum that should contain only a summation of the facts and the laws applicable to the case. In passing, complainant also denied that he had overpriced the property in order to obtain a commission.
In his answer, Atty. dela Serna maintained that the proper forum to consider the complaint should have been the Regional Trial Court that tried the case, and not the IBP, where complainant could have asked the court to cite respondent for contempt.
In a transmittal letter, dated 05 August 2001, Atty. Victor C. Fernandez, Director for Bar Discipline, submitted to the Court 1) a Notice of the Resolution of the Board of Governors and 2) the Records of the Case consisting of 51 pages. The resolution of the Board of Governors (Resolution No. XV-2002-232), adopting the recommendation of Commissioner Lydia A. Navarro, read:
"RESOLVED to ADOPT and APPROVE, as it is hereby ADOPTED and APPROVED, the Report and Recommendation of the Investigating Commissioner of the above-entitled case, herein made part of this Resolution/Decision as Annex `A;' and, finding the recommendation fully supported by the evidence on record and the applicable laws and rules, and considering that respondent having conducted himself with utter discourtesy by using uncalled for statements in his Defendants' Memorandum without evident proofs of said accusations and using offensive and abusive language therein respondent violated Rule 8.01 of Canon 8 of the Code of Professional Responsibility, Respondent is hereby SUSPENDED from the practice of law for six (6) months."[2]
When Atty. dela Serna learned of the resolution, he promptly filed an Appeal before this Court claiming a denial of substantive and procedural due process, no formal investigation having been conducted by the IBP before it issued the resolution recommending his six-month suspension from the practice of law.
A review of the records would indeed show that no formal investigation was conducted by the IBP.
In Cottam vs. Atty. Laysa (326 SCRA 614) and Baldomar vs. Atty. Paras (348 SCRA 212), the Court outlined the procedure for disciplinary action against a member of the Bar. The Court elucidated:
"Complaints against lawyers for misconduct are normally addressed to the Court. If, at the outset, the Court finds a complaint to be clearly wanting in merit, it outrightly dismisses the case. If, however, the Court deems it necessary that further inquiry should be made, such as when the matter could not be resolved by merely evaluating the pleadings submitted, a referral is made to the IBP for a formal investigation of the case during which the parties are accorded an opportunity to be heard. An ex parte investigation may only be conducted when respondent fails to appear despite reasonable notice. Hereunder are some of the pertinent provisions of Rule 139-B of the Rules of Court on this matter; viz.:
"`SEC. 3. Duties of the National Grievance Investigator. – The National Grievance Investigators shall investigate all complaints against members of the Integrated Bar referred to them by the IBP Board of Governors.
`x x x x x x x x x
`SEC. 5. Service or dismissal. – If the complaint appears to be meritorious, the Investigator shall direct that a copy thereof be served upon the respondent, requiring him to answer the same within fifteen (15) days from the date of service. If the complaint does not merit action, or if the answer shows to the satisfaction of the Investigator that the complaint is not meritorious, the same may be dismissed by the Board of Governors upon his recommendation. A copy of the resolution of dismissal shall be furnished to the complainant and the Supreme Court which may review the case motu proprio or upon timely appeal of the complainant filed within 15 days from notice of the dismissal of the complaint.
`No investigation shall be interrupted or terminated by reason of the desistance, settlement, compromise, restitution, withdrawal of the charges, or failure of the complainant to prosecute the same.
`SEC. 8. Investigation. – Upon joinder of issues or upon failure of the respondent to answer, the Investigator shall, with deliberate speed, proceed with the investigation of the case. He shall have the power to issue subpoenas and administer oaths. The respondent shall be given full opportunity to defend himself, to present witnesses on his behalf and be heard by himself and counsel. However, if upon reasonable notice, the respondent fails to appear, the investigation shall proceed ex parte.
`The Investigator shall terminate the investigation within three (3) months form the date of its commencement, unless extended for good cause by the Board of Governors upon prior application.
`Willful failure to refusal to obey a subpoena or any other lawful order issued by the Investigator shall be dealt with as for indirect contempt of Court. The corresponding charge shall be filed by the Investigator before the IBP Board of Governors which shall require the alleged contemnor to show cause within ten (10) days from notice. The IBP Board of Governors may thereafter conduct hearings, if necessary, in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Rule for hearings before the Investigator. Such hearing shall as far as practicable be terminated within fifteen (15) days from its commencement. Thereafter, the IBP Board of Governors shall within a like period of fifteen (15) days issue a resolution setting forth its findings and recommendations, which shall forthwith be transmitted to the Supreme Court for final action and if warranted, the imposition of penalty.'
"The procedures outlined by the Rules are meant to ensure that the innocents are spared from wrongful condemnation and that only the guilty are meted their just due. Obviously, these requirements cannot be taken lightly."
Subject to such highly exceptional cases as it might deem warranted, the Court here reiterates the indispensability for a formal investigation of complaints against members of the Bar particularly, such as in this instance, where the IBP would recommend the serious penalty of suspension from the practice of law.
WHEREFORE, the instant administrative case is REMANDED to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines for further proceedings in accordance with the foregoing opinion. The IBP is likewise directed to act on this referral with dispatch.
Davide, Jr., C.J., (Chairman), Ynares-Santiago, and Carpio, JJ., concur.
Azcuna, J., on leave.

The Brady Bunch: Ann B. Davis Dies at 88; Farewell Alice Nelson
by Trevor Kimball, June 1, 2014
Beloved character actress Ann B. Davis has died at the age of 88. The Brady Bunch co-star was reportedly in good health until earlier today, reports TMZ.
Close to her church community, Davis had been living with a couple in Texas and fell in her bathroom this morning, sustaining a blow to her head. She never regained conciousness and passed later today.
Born in New York, Davis began her television career in the 1950s and became known to many for her portrayal of lovesick secretary Charmaine "Schultzy" Schultz in the NBC sitcom The Bob Cummings Show. She ended up winning two Emmys for the role.
She appeared in many commericals and some guest star roles after that but became best known for playing housekeeper Alice Nelson on The Brady Bunch. She played the role for all five seasons and took part in the many, many reunion projects over the years.
She made a cameo appearance in The Brady Bunch Movie in 1995, playing a truck driver named "Schultzy" who helps bring runaway Jan home. Davis authored Alice's Brady Bunch Cookbook in 1994 which features Brady-inspired recipes.
On her Facebook page, Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady) wrote, "I was waiting for it to reach the news before saying anything. Yes, it's true, our beloved Ann B. passed away this morning. I loved her work even before I knew and loved her. When I was five, I got the Hong Kong flue. I missed a lot of school and stayed in bed watching TV. I loved the Bob Cummings Show because I enjoyed Ann B. in the role of his secretary "Schultzy". I was overjoyed when I learned that I would be working with her on Brady Bunch. Already a fan, it was only icing on the cake to get to know her. She always treated us kids with respect and we knew we were working with greatness. I'm happy to know that she never lost her beautiful mind and razor sharp wit. She will be dearly missed by the many who knew her and the many more who felt like they did. I'm sure there is now a bright red sports car tearing up the clouds in heaven."
What do you think? Did you enjoy Davis' work? Do you have any favorite memories?
