The brain is one of the major sites of metastasis (spread) for several different cancers. Once cancer spreads to the brain, the prognosis is dismal; quality of life is severely compromised, and survival rates at this point are in months and not years.
Unfortunately, little is known about brain metastasis, despite the fact it is the most common neurological complication of cancer. Most cancer cells that leave primary tumors do not survive, but an unknown mechanism allows the few cells that do survive to actually thrive in the brain.
The brain is protected from tumor cell invasion by the blood brain barrier (BBB), and even if cancer cells do manage to migrate to the brain, they must adapt themselves in that microenvironment, which is utterly different from that of the primary site where the cancer originated. Some scientists hypothesize that it is the failure of the BBB that is the first critical step of brain metastasis.
Priscilla Brastianos, M.D., a neurooncologist and director of the Brain Metastasis program at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and her international team of colleagues investigated the possible molecular alterations that may impact the behavior of metastatic brain tumors. Advances in genomic sequencing allow for this important research, and her team performed whole exome sequencing on 86 matched brain metastases, primary tumors, and normal tissue. This is the largest sequencing study of brain metastases to date.
In collaboration with the Broad Institute, they analyzed the genetic composition of the cancer tissues and found a "common ancestor" between each of the samples, but in 53% of the cases, there were potentially clinically informative alterations in the brain metastasis that were not found in the original primary tumor sample.

Honor Marie Warren. She was born June 7 in Los Angeles, her rep, Brad Cafarelli, confirms. This is the couple's first child.
The actress' Jessica Alba, 26, longtime boyfriend Cash Warren, 29, proposed in December. After splitting in July, they reunited in August, around the time their child was conceived. "She wanted to get married, but Cash wasn't ready," a source said Us Weekly Magazine of why they split.
Jessica and Cash: house hunting!
It looks like Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are planning to become roommates with benefits!
The couple of nearly two years were spotted house hunting in the Sherman Oaks section of LA on Nov. 21.
Then on Nov. 26, they had a more G-rated day, enjoying lunch at the Cactus Club Cafe, followed by an early holiday-shopping spree with her parents along Vancouver's Robson Street. There they stopped at Lululemon Athletica, where they bought tons of clothes, shoes and accessories for friends, says an insider.

Q: How to map 13 bit value to 4 bit code? I have a std::map for some packet processing program.
I didn't noticed before profiling but unfortunately this map lookup alone consume about 10% CPU time (called too many time).
Usually there only exist at most 10 keys in the input data. So I'm trying to implement a kind of key cache in front of the map.
Key value is 13 bit integer. I know there are only 8192 possible keys and array of 8192 items can give constant time lookup but I feel already ashamed and don't want use such a naive approach :(
Now, I'm just guessing some method of hashing that yield 4 bit code value for 13 bit integer very fast.
Any cool idea?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
Beside my shame, I don't have total control over source code and it's almost prohibited to make new array for this purpose.
Project manager said (who ran the profiler) linked list show small performance gain and recommended using std::list instead of std::map.
UPDATE
Value of keys are random (no relationship) and doesn't have good distribution.
Sample:
1) 0x100, 0x101, 0x10, 0x0, 0xffe
2) 0x400, 0x401, 0x402, 0x403, 0x404, 0x405, 0xff

A: Assuming your hash table either contains some basic type -- it's almost no memory at all.   Even on 64-bit systems it's only 64kb of memory.  There is no shame in using a lookup table like that, it has some of the best performance you can get.

A: Unless you're writing for some sort of embedded system where 8K is really significant, just use the array and move on. If you really insist on doing something else, you might consider a perfect hash generator (e.g., gperf).

A: If there are really only going to be something like 10 active entries in your table, you might seriously consider using an unsorted vector to hold this mapping.  Something like this:
typedef int key_type;
typedef int value_type;
std::vector<std::pair<key_type, value_type> > mapping;

inline void put(key_type key, value_type value) {
    for (size_t i=0; i<mapping.size(); ++i) {
        if (mapping[i].first==key) {
            mapping[i].second=value;
            return;
        }
    }
    mapping.push_back(std::make_pair(key, value));
}

inline value_type get(key_type key) {
    for (size_t i=0; i<mapping.size(); ++i) {
        if (mapping[i].first==key) {
            return mapping[i].second;
        }
    }
    // do something reasonable if not found?
    return value_type();
}

Now, the asymptotic speed of these algorithms (each O(n)) is much worse than you'd have with either a red-black tree (like std::map at O(log n)) or hash table (O(1)).  But you're not talking about dealing with a large number of objects, so asymptotic estimates don't really buy you much.
Additionally, std::vector buys you both low overhead and locality of reference, which neither std::map nor std::list can offer.  So it's more likely that a small std::vector will stay entirely within the L1 cache.  As it's almost certainly the memory bottleneck that's causing your performance issues, using a std::vector with even my poor choice of algorithm will likely be faster than either a tree or linked list.  Of course, only a few solid profiles will tell you for sure.
There are certainly algorithms that might be better choices: a sorted vector could potentially give even better performance; a well tuned small hash table might work as well.  I suspect that you'll run into Amdahl's law pretty quickly trying to improve on a simple unsorted vector, however.  Pretty soon you might find yourself running into function call overhead, or some other such concern, as a large contributor to your profile.

A: You may want to go with middle solution and open addressing technique: one array of size 256. Index to an array is some simple hash function like XOR of two bytes. Element of the array is struct {key, value}. Collisions are handled by storing collided element at the next available index. If you need to delete element from array, and if deletion is rare then just recreate array (create a temporary list from remaining elements, and then create array from this list).
If you pick your hash function smartly there would not be any collisions almost ever. For instance, from your two examples one such hash would be to XOR low nibble of high byte with high nibble of low byte (and do what you like with remaining 13-th bit).

A: I agree with GWW, you don't use so much memory in the end...
But if you want, you could use an array of 11 or 13 linkedlists, and hash the keys with the % function. If the key number is less than the array size, complexity tents still to be O(1).

A: When you always just have about ten keys, use a list (or array). Do some benchmarking to find out whether or not using a sorted list (or array) and binary search will improve performance.

A: You might first want to see if there are any unnecessary calls to the key lookup. You only want to do this once per packet ideally -- each time you call a function there is going to be some overhead, so getting rid of extra calls is good.
Map is generally pretty fast, but if there is any exploitable pattern in the way keys are mapped to items you could use that and potentially do better. Could you provide a bit more information about the keys and the associated 4-bit values? E.g. are they sequential, is there some sort of pattern?
Finally, as others have mentioned, a lookup table is very fast, 8192 values * 4 bits is only 4kb, a tiny amount of memory indeed.

A: I would use a lookup table. It's tiny unless you are using a micrcontroller or something.
Otherwise I would do this -
Generate a table of say 30 elements.
For each lookup calculate a hash value of (key % 30) and compare it with the stored key in that location in the table. If the key is there then you found your value. if the slot is empty, then add it. If the key is wrong then skip to the next free cell and repeat.
With 30 cells and 10 keys collisions should be rare but if you get one it's fast to skip to the next cell, and normal lookups are simply a modulus and a compare operation so fairly fast

How One of the Hottest Indie Labels Thinks About SocialMedia…
The following is a conversation with Dame Ritter, CEO of one of the hottest independent labels, Funk Volume. It was conducted for Digital Music News by Dan Polaske of Mayo Music.
Dan Polaske: Funk Volume artists are known for being extremely engaged with their fans on social media. What platforms are you focused on at the moment, and are you experimenting with other platforms?
Dame Ritter: You know the usual suspects at the moment. It began as Twitter and Facebook. But we've really worked at diversifying our efforts. At first it was primarily Facebook but then Facebook started doing some things with their algorithms and limiting the visibility of our posts and things like that. It showed us the importance of diversifying our efforts. Not only diversify our efforts, but trying to get the contact info of our fans so that we can control that communication. Focusing on building our email database, our phone number database.
We focus on that and still I think that's kind of the next wave of importance for an artist.
It's very important that artists have access to their fans. We haven't implemented it yet but there is a tool that Ryan Leslie has developed called Disruptive Multimedia. It's an app that you put on your phone, but it's a kind of a phone within your phone which allows you to text your fans and call your fans. We haven't implemented it yet but we should be doing that shortly over the next few months. Again, I think it's very important that we take control over that communication with our fans.
Dan: I'm curious now, in terms of the email list building and the phone number collection how does that fit into what you're doing now? Is that all through your Funk Volume homepage?
Dame: Yeah I mean it's the homepage. We encourage people to join our email list sometimes, but not too much. We're not like saying it every day on Facebook but sometimes we'll just ask people. Also, when people make purchases on the site, we collect emails there. We have our annual Don't Funk Up Our Beats contest, we get a lot of emails then. Yeah those are the points, it's not a very easy thing to just get a bunch of emails. The application that we use is one that we have been using in the past to run our contest. It allows us to get fan emails from their Facebook pages.
Dan: Does it vary between your artists or do you kind of encourage all the artists on your roster to be on the big four platforms?
Dame: Yes, I mean they do a pretty good job. I would say Dizzy is probably the most active on all platforms. Hopsin used to be very active and has scaled back a little bit. It's not a requirement to the point where it puts some tension on the relationship if they don't do it. I think Dizzy has the most momentum right now. Outside of his music and his work ethic, I think social media plays a part in that for sure. So hopefully they kind of see how things are happening with him and understand that social media is a part of that. They'll get their social media game up to that.
With social media, even with myself, it's kind of gets tedious and boring depending on if you have something to say. If you don't have anything to say or you are going through some shit that you don't want to share, you're probably going to dial back a bit.
There's some natural ebbs and flows to their social media. So that's why I don't stress it like, "Oh you have to post 20 times a day etc etc" There's no rule like that.
I just continue to communicate the importance of it.
Dan: That's a great lead in to my next question… I definitely see a lot of artists, in my opinion and I think you would probably agree using social media poorly. They are not using it to engage with their fans but instead to push, push, push or sell, sell, sell. Do you guys have some kind of overarching philosophy as to how you approach anything you do on these platforms?
Dame: I mean the guys just kind of get it. Yeah I see that as well. I see artists who are always pushing their things. I think a lot of times, those are the artists that have somebody else controlling their social media. It's super important that the artists themselves are talking or if you have someone that knows your voice.
The fans have to believe that it is the artist, or the engagement is going to be poor.
Jarren is probably our weakest social media person, he's kind of terrible at it. From time to time I just give him tips. You want to engage people, you want to ask questions, and you want to invite discussions. To the extent which you're comfortable you want to open up and share your true thoughts and feelings because a lot of times, your fans are. You know these artists are real people just like the fans are. They are going through real problems just like the fans are. If the artist is willing to open up and share those thoughts and feelings, you're going to get a pretty solid response because it really lets the fans get to know you. It lets the fans know you're real. It lets the fans know you're dealing with some of the same issues that they might be going through at times. Again there's probably not a rulebook that I've written, but just encouraging them to open up. Encouraging them to post fairly often with the exception of Facebook.
On Facebook you know you should probably post at most three times a day.
Because each platform is different. Facebook's algorithm is different than Twitter. Well, Twitter doesn't have an algorithm yet, so all the posts show up in Twitter. Twitter and Instagram at the moment should be different than your use of Facebook. I share things like that with them. And as I'm researching and understanding how Facebook is being used, I'll communicate what I learn. Use Facebook this way, Twitter and Instagram this way is fine etc.
Dan: Do you guys use paid advertising on these platforms? Promoted posts and stuff like that?
Dame: Not very much. The only time that we will promote a post is when they're on tour. Sometimes we'll promote geo-targeted posts on Facebook. That's pretty effective. If they're in L.A., we'll send out a post about the L.A. show just to the L.A. people. Then the only other time we'll consider promoting posts is around the time we're releasing a project. Obviously that's very important, so that everybody knows about that. I mean with the amount of fans that we have, especially on Hopsin's page, to reach all his fans it's ridiculously expensive. It would be like $10,000 plus and at that point it's like, "Okay, we can spend $10,000 on promoting a post or we can spend $10,000 on a really dope ass video that will probably get millions and millions of views." We could probably do both, but we're not going to sit here and promote Hopsin's posts all day for $10,000 that would be a waste of money I think. That's how I look at it at the moment, but again I'm always trying to stay up on what Facebook is doing and trying to determine what's best for us.
Dan: Let's talk about music videos, which have been a huge part of Funk Volume's success. What's your approach to a video, starting with when you take a single and decide that you're going to make a video. Do you guys have your own in-house team that does these videos? Or do you contract out?
Dame: The process is different with every artist. They pretty much have the flexibility to do a video for whatever song they want, if it's a song they are pretty passionate about. I don't ever say, "look we have to do a video for this." But once again every artist is different like Dizzy has the most videos out at the moment. He drops a video it seems like every month. He knows that creating visuals is very important. He is getting more involved in the process in terms of working with the director and telling them what he wants and things like that. He's open to working with different videographers.
Hopsin's more hands on. He directs and typically edits his own videos and he has a crew that he works with all the time. Jarren is less hands on. He's cool with me lining things up, but he's fairly involved with the process as well.
Then Swizz is pretty hands-on too when he does put out a video. Again it's different across the board but honestly in terms of selecting a single, I might have some input, and I'll have my suggestions and a lot of times there's no pushback. I feel every song should have a video and if it shouldn't have a video, then it probably shouldn't be a song. If you have the budget to do it, I'd suggest a video to every song that you have. That's what I would tell any artist, because people are so visual these days, they want to see you.
Dan: How do you come up with a budget for these videos? How does that balance with the creative process?
Dame: We're stepping it up, so now going forward our videos are going to be more expensive. We just want to work with better people to really take our videos to the next level. Up until now, our videos are probably costing about $5,000. A lot of that can get recouped just through YouTube and even make money. Especially if the video starts getting million of views, then it's probably going to make money as opposed to just trying to recoup.
That's another reason why I say, "Shit, make as many videos as you want, if they're good videos."
You can recoup or make money through YouTube. Our YouTube channel is just another social network really. If we get more subscribers, we're growing our base. It's really an easy decision, once you get to that level, and you are getting that kind of views. Now if you're not getting those kind of views and it is just hitting the budget and you're never recouping that, then it would probably be a different discussion.
Dan: It's kind of a snowball effect. You are able to make a video for $1,000 and then recoup. Then next time you have more subscribers and a larger base so you can make the $5,000 video.
Dame: Yeah, YouTube is crucial for artists, they shouldn't just be releasing music videos. This is something we haven't been that good at, but everything doesn't have to be a full on music video to grow your subscriber base. I mean, you can do vlogs, you can do prank calls, you can do whatever it is to grow that base and get some interest in your YouTube channel to grow your subscribership. Let the fans get to know another side of you maybe, and then when you do launch the music video, you have a bigger platform to get your music some exposure.
I don't think there are very many artists that have utilized YouTube well. I don't think we've utilized YouTube well.
I mean, we have some big videos, like Hopsin's. A lot of that is attributed to him being a controversial artist. Then we've done some good things in terms of branding certain series. You have, 'Ill Mind of Hopsin' and then you have 'Good Morning Swizzzle'. I think that's cool because it gives the fans something to look forward to. They kind of know what to expect to a certain extent. They know when to expect it. It gives your channel some consistency. I think that's a good thing to do, to kind of come up with a cool branded series where you do something. We have a good YouTube base but I don't think that we even use our YouTube base that well. We can do it a lot better.
Dan: That is interesting you say that. You mentioned doing something consistently like a series is something that you think would be a small step in the direction of being even more effective on YouTube?
Dean: Yeah, if we came up with more series or maybe doing some kind of skits, because all the guys want to get into acting. We can go about that ourselves you know, and the guys are pretty funny. They are always playing jokes on each other, so we can expose the fans to that. I f we were consistent doing stuff like that, we'd have way more subscribers on YouTube.
I mean if you go to our YouTube page, we don't drop videos that often. It's just that every time we do, they get a pretty good response. If we filled in that gap of when we're releasing music videos with some of the other things, I mean that would be good. I continue to tell the guys this, but it's just something that we haven't utilized just yet. I think we will eventually. I'll continue to get on them, and they will get it. I mean, a lot of times with artists you just have to tell them things a million times. Once they do it, and then they see the impact, "Oh okay, I get what you've been telling me for the past three years now."
Dan: When a new artist comes across your plate one way or another, what are some things that impress you?
Dame: Right off the bat, I don't claim to be any super A&R guy, but I've been around music for a long time just as a fan. To me, the guys that are really polished, and where it's obvious that they are actually working on their craft to get better, to become a better artist. Those guys just kind of standout. Like when I saw Jarren's video for 'Skitzo', you could tell that he didn't just start rapping yesterday. You could tell that he's actually been focused, and works on his craft. To me, those artists just kind of standout.
You can tell that they have great control over their flow. The beat's not controlling them. They're not trying too hard. It's just an effortless sound. In terms of their music, that kind of stands out right away and that doesn't happen with a lot of artists. A lot of artists it just sounds like they are trying but are not quite there. They are not catching the beat right. Again, I don't claim to have any superior music knowledge. Just as a fan that's listening, you know it just doesn't sound right a lot of times.
I look for that, I look at what they are saying. Are they being unique with their topics? If it's a video that I'm watching, do they look comfortable on camera? That's a big piece too. A lot of artists don't look that comfortable on camera, so it looks a little awkward. When we're looking for artists, I mean there are so many things that we look for. The music has to be good, the live performance has to be great, the work ethic needs to be there. I typically would just watch an artist and to see how they move by themselves just to get to a feel for how they work already. To see if they'll plug in well to what we do. It's definitely not a situation where you would join us, and then everything's just happens on its own. I mean there's a lot that the artist has to do, with the social media, being super-active and willing to go out on the road to meet and touch people. So, it's a lot of things.
Then culturally, the chemistry needs to be right with the fellas because the biggest asset if a new artist joins us is going to be the cross promotion. Everybody's on board with promoting each other even if they are not releasing music at the time.
If the guys don't agree with me bringing on a new artist and they are going to be reluctant to support them, then they're losing out on what is the biggest reason for joining the team.
If they don't get cross promotion, it's kind of like you know… I mean Funk Volume itself we'll give them a boost. But to have Hopsin's page, Dizzy's page, Jarren's page, and Swizz's page all supporting what you're doing… That's a lot of new people you're getting in front of on the first day.
We saw that with Jarren's Skitzo video. If you go to Jarren's Skitzo video and look at the statistics, his video was probably at like 30,000 views when he joined us. It's now over two million. You'll see it's like the day we announced it, the graph starts growing on a different trajectory. That's the power of Funk Volume. But we look at a lot of things, it's a long process. I think we gotta hit a home run every time because we don't have the time and I don't want to waste any of our resources in terms of stuff that's not going to work out. We take our time and make sure all the boxes are ticked before we bring someone on.
Dan: If you don't mind, I was actually going to ask you about a couple of your artists that joined Funk Volume after the formation of the core group which was yourself, Hopsin and Swizz. I wanted to ask you about Dizzy Wright, I actually talked to him a little bit about it in his interview. Could you tell me about Dizzy and how that relationship started and how he ended up joining Funk Volume?
Dame: Sure, so before I even met him, I came across his video called 'Somebody or Nobody'. It was just really dope. I really liked the song, and I liked the topic. I like the fact that Dizzy is able to straddle that line between being positive and cool, which is very hard to do in hip-hop. A lot of times, the artists that are super positive, are also being seen as super corny. Dizzy's able to not do that, you know he's just himself. He's very authentic and he's just a cool dude. That resonated when I saw the video. I just followed him on Twitter, followed him on Facebook, and just kind of watched how he moved. Then I went into a local competition here in L.A., to support a friend of mine. There were two competitions in one. There was an R&B portion and a hip-hop portion. I was going to support my friend that was doing the R&B portion. It just so happened that Dizzy was in the competition too. He was in the hip-hop portion and he won it.
That was the first time I got to see him perform and I went up to him afterwards. I mean a lot of people were coming up to him, so I get why he kind of gave me the cold shoulder but I still give him a hard time about it. Then as part of him winning that competition, he got the opportunity to do some other shows in the L.A. area. I made sure that when he came back, I went to the show again and introduced myself. I reached out to his manager at the time. His manager at the time knew more about who we were than he did. T hat just started the conversation and we just continued to develop the relationship. We eventually invited him out to our show. He saw us in Denver, he saw how many people came out to the show. We had a good time, he performed and the rest is history after that. It was a longer process but it all started on the internet.
Dan: Well you touched on Jarren's story as well, with the video you saw. Is that how that relationship started? You saw the video and then where did it go from there?
Dame: Yeah, I think initially somebody had posted his video on Hopsin's page and we saw it was really dope. Reached out to his manager at the time. Then again, same thing, we invited him out to a show that we were doing in Arizona. He saw kind of what we do. I think coming to the show kind of makes it all real.
You can see the numbers online but when you come to a show, you can see the energy, see the passion that the fans have, and you can have a good time. So coming to the show it's kind of typically the selling point.
It kind of brings everything together. So the same process. Eventually, we gave him a contract, signed it and rest is history.
Dan: On Audible Treats, I read a post about Jarren and his XXL cover. In there, it said something about how he was offered a deal with Def Jam, but he went with Funk Volume. I know this is something you talk about a lot, and I'm sure it is something you use as a selling point with artists. What is it that an artist gets from Funk Volume that you would not get with a typical Def Jam type deal?
Dame: I think that one of the biggest differences is we built Funk Volume from the ground up. Like literally, fan by fan. Funk Volume itself has fans. It was built very organically, and it's a very real connection. People feel invested in Funk Volume almost in the same way that we are. When you join Funk Volume, you get a wave of real people looking at your stuff that are already kind of interested and curious and investing in what we do. Where we might not have as much money as like at Def Jam to put behind what you're doing. You're gonna get access to fans. Then it's on you to kind of win them over, so that they become a fan of you as well.
Joining Def Jam, they'll have money to put you in front of people. So you're trying to win people from the jump, you know the fans aren't already invested. You're really just paying to get in front of people. You're just kinda starting from zero. You know Def Jam itself, I mean it's brand, but you don't see too many people following the label anymore.
Def Jam used to have a lot of fans and you used to know what you were getting with Def Jam. But when Russell sold it, it's gone in different places.
I think that's the biggest benefit you will get joining Funk Volume as opposed to Def Jam. I wouldn't say we've caught up in resources yet, but we continue to do well financially. You know to put more money behind projects and we have more resources now. In addition to that, there's just more transparency in what we do. I told Jarren and Dizzy, if you just ride with us, I can show you the progress. And now that we can measure our progress through social networking metrics, views and things like that, you'll immediately see the impact. You can see how you're growing.
Say you sign to Def Jam tomorrow, there's nothing really that they can do, unless you're part of a crew, then it's different.
But if you just sign to the label, there's nothing that they can do tomorrow to get you ten thousand new fans or tens of thousands of new fans.
Dan: What is the focus of Funk Volume right now? Is there anything exciting happening in the near future we can except?
Dame: This year, although we didn't put out that much music, from a business standpoint we really focused on trying to solidify our infrastructure and get the right resources in place so that we'd be able to support the continued growth going into next year. We are redesigning all of our merchandise, just taking that to the next level. All of that should be out before Christmas. In terms of each of the guys brands, how they are presenting themselves through their merch, their logos and things like that. We've recently signed a deal with Warner to do a label services deal.
I guess you can argue whether or not that's really independent or not, I don't really care. We still have full control over what we do.
There's no creative input from Warner. We can release a song tomorrow if we want. There is no ownership in Funk Volume, it's purely a percentage of sales deal. That gave us more resources, gave me more help, and hopefully gives our projects more reach as we release projects in the future. But before the year is up we will have some projects out. Jarren will release an EP in November and people will hear from Swizz as well. He's going to be shooting a video over the next couple of weeks and hopefully that jumps starts him as well. There still will be some music, but I think this year is really just a huge step forward in terms of firming up our infrastructure and making sure we have all of our ducks in a row and are an actual label.
I mean we've been an actual label, but in terms of understanding publishing, making sure royalties were paid out accurately and getting the right people on board to help with that to make sure it all happens. I want to make sure we're legit. I want to make sure the guys are supported, I want to make sure the guys know exactly what's going on.
I think we're ready now. All we have to do is make the right music and I think we'll be in a different place next year.

Watchdog groups continue to push for transparency over who received PPP
By: Alicia Nieves
Posted at 1:16 PM, Jul 20, 2020
More than half a million businesses received the federal funds the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The program was created in March to help small business and their employees survive the financial impact of the pandemic. The program lent businesses money at a low-interest rate, with the potential for the loans to be forgiven or turned into a grant if the company retained and paid their workers for a given time.
Watchdog groups, like U.S. PIRG, were among many groups and elected leaders that called for transparency with PPP. After initially resisting, in May, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Small Business Administration announced they would release the names of all businesses that received a PPP loan in the amount of $150,000 or more.
Earlier this month, that list was released. What has come to light is that millionaire, billionaires, and even some celebrities received the federal aid intended to help struggling small businesses. For example, rapper and fashion designer Kanye West, with an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion, received a PPP loan for his company Yeezy.
"From the very outset, the public, watchdogs, and elected officials had a very good reason to want data to see where this money was going," said R.J. Cross with U.S. PIRG. "As we just learned, we had good reason to be questioning is this program going to do what it was intended to do?"
Cross is calling for the federal government to take steps to find out how much money went to small businesses and how much went to larger companies that may have had access to other sources of cash to get them through the financial hardship.
"A big improvement on the program would be true audits on all of the loan amounts," said Cross. "That, say, if we find that you could've probably gotten money somewhere else we are going to take those taxpayers dollars back."
Currently, only loans over $2 million will be audited, but most of the loans taken out, including some by millionaires and billionaires, were just below that threshold.
"We don't have any proof to say that they picked that amount strategically, but it certainly raises questions," Cross added.
Watchdog groups say the only way to answer those questions for the American people is continued transparency and expanded audits.
"Fraud and corruption are a real concern anytime the government is spending and giving money to companies, and especially, the pace in which it is happening right now," Cross said. "There is reason to keep a very close eye on what is happening next. The biggest bailout in U.S. history deserves the most transparency in U.S. history."
The SBA and treasury department have not given an indication that they will expand audits. Even if they did, it would take months, and potentially years, to get the results of those audits, followed by a potential hurdle to make the results public.

Dr. Bruce J. Hinds, III
Two researchers from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, have been awarded the White House Office of National Science and Technology Council's Presidential Award for Early Career Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). NIDA grantees Dr. Bruce J. Hinds, III and Dr. Gonzalo E. Torres will receive their awards today during a ceremony at the Commerce Building in Washington, DC.
Dr. Gonzalo E. Torres
Bruce J. Hinds, III, Ph.D., associate professor of chemical and materials engineering at the University of Kentucky, is being recognized for his work to improve the delivery of drugs that treat nicotine dependence through a novel skin patch. Gonzalo E. Torres, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, is being cited for his research on cellular and molecular regulation of monoamine transporters in the brain and its relationship to psychiatric disorders and drug addiction.
The Presidential Award for Early Career Scientists and Engineers was established in 1996 and is the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers. Awardees are selected on the basis of two criteria: pursuit of innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology; and a commitment to community service as demonstrated through scientific leadership, public education or community outreach. Winning scientists are awarded a research grant for up to five years to further their studies in support of critical government missions. This year, nine federal departments and agencies nominated 100 young scientists and engineers who showed exceptional promise for leadership in science and technology. Drs. Hinds and Torres are 2 of 12 NIH grantees to receive the prestigious PECASE award.

Q: How to count number of occurrences of a word in a string using Python This was my attempt , I wanted to take a window of 3 letters and walk through the string, But not getting the expected answer of 2 . I am getting into some infinite loop. Wondering why .
def find_bob(s1):
    check_list = 'bob'
    count = 0
    n=0
    cmp_chars=0
    while n<=len(s1):
        while cmp_chars == s1[n:3]:
            if cmp_chars == check_list:
                count += 1
                continue
    return count

s1= 'azcbobobegghakl'
#check_list='bob'
val1 = find_bob(s1)

A: You can use str.find() to find your bobs by using the start param, e.g.:
def find_bob(s):
    check_list = 'bob'
    c, n = 0, s.find(check_list)
    while n != -1:
        c += 1
        n = s.find(check_list, n+1)
    return c

In []:
find_bob('azcbobobegghakl')

Out[]:
2

A: You can use a regex with a zero width lookahead and just count the matches:
>>> import re
>>> s1= 'azcbobobegghakl'
>>> len([m for m in re.finditer(r'(?=bob)', s1)])
2

A: Wondering why...
n=0
cmp_chars=0
while n<=len(s1):
    while cmp_chars == s1[n:3]:
        if cmp_chars == check_list:
            count += 1
            continue

n starts at zero and does not change within the loop so the while condition is always True.
while cmp_chars == s1[n:3]: Not sure what to make of this, cmp_chars starts at zero and will never equal a string so this loop condition is always False.
Try
while n<=len(s1):
    if s1[n:n+3] == check_list:
        count += 1
    n = n +1

Always wanted to fly a small plane? Read all the flight books and websites? Tired of flight simulators? Need to feel the roar of the engine, the control of the yoke and movements from the pedals.


Let's face it: your basement may not be the largest space. You see all of these basement remodeling ideas. But no matter how you try to plan it, there simply isn't enough room. Still, that doesn't mean you can't finish it and do something useful with it. So what can you do to finish your basement without just letting it turn into a storage area? You may want to consider building a utility area.
One common thing that some people do with smaller basements is to leave one part unfinished while finishing the other parts. This is particularly true of where the furnace and other utilities might be located. While you may want to wall these particular items off from the rest of the basement, it might make the rest of the basement feel too small. Especially if you plan on using your new utility space as a work area for business or hobbies, leaving parts unfinished could be OK. Any "wasted" space could be used for storage or be set aside for another purpose later.
Keeping your basement organized in a purposeful way helps to expand the usable square footage of your home while freeing up some space on the main floors of your home. With a smaller basement, it's well worth the finishing costs to make it a more comfortable area to use. You could use part of the utility area for storage. But you want to make sure that it is purposeful storage. You only want to keep things that you actually need.
The major benefit of a basement utility area is that the purpose that it serves can shift over time based on what you need the space to do. Even if your space is small, you may be able to fit a small stackable washer/dryer unit in it. You might consider an extra refrigerator/freezer for stocking up on certain foods when they go on sale.
Whatever you decide to do with your basement, if you can't settle on a single purpose right away, that's OK. The idea is to spruce it up and bring some sort of organization to what is likely currently a disorganized space. That way if you do decide to use your basement for some other purpose later, most of the work will already be done for you to use the space however you wish. The important thing is to realize that even the smallest basement can be repurposed into an area that will serve you and your family well.

Does 'Unfriended: Dark Web' Have 2 Endings? The Cast Told Us What They Know (Update: It Does)
The movie's cast helps 'Inverse' clear up those rumors — sort of.
Jake Kleinman
You may have to see Unfriended: Dark Web twice to get the full experience. Not because of some mind-bending twist, but because the horror sequel allegedly has two distinct endings. After the news broke this weekend, Inverse spoke to the cast in an attempt to clear up the alternate ending rumors. Instead, we only ended up even more confused.
Update: A report from The Ringer confirms that Unfriended: Dark Web does indeed have two endings and describes them in full detail. Inverse's original article continues below).
First, a bit of background (don't worry Unfriended fans, this is a spoiler-free article). Rumors that Dark Web actually features two distinct endings first began circulating last Friday, July 13 (yes, that's Friday the 13th, which is also little suspicious) after a projectionist allegedly leaked a list of instructions for the new film which clearly states: "PLEASE NOTE THIS FEATURE HAS TWO DIFFERENT ENDINGS."
There's no mention of how the two endings differ or how projectionists should decide which version to show at each screening. So assuming this rumor is true, it's possible you could see Unfriended: Dark Web multiple times in theaters and never see both endings. IndieWire picked up the story over the weekend and it spread like wildfire, but BlumHouse (the horror-focused studio behind the film) hasn't issued an official explanation so far
Inverse also reached out to a PR contact for the film but they declined to comment. However, the cast of Unfriended: Dark Web was surprisingly blunt when asked the same question.
"As far as we know there's only one ending," Colin Woodell (who plays Matias in the film) tells Inverse. He went on to describe the final scene, which matched up perfectly with what we saw in an early screening of the film.
Woodell also explained that it's possible BlumHouse could have pulled off a second, alternative ending without any of the cast ever realizing.
"This is the weirdest thing about this film," Woodell says. "We filmed so much stuff and did so many reshoots. So many cooks in the kitchen weighing in. A lot of the stuff we filmed, I'd hear from Stephen [Susco, the director,] one month we're keeping this in and another month saying not anymore. So things have constantly been changing and I think they've been changing even a few weeks ago."
So… maybe there is a second secret ending? Maybe the cast isn't telling me everything they know? Or maybe the entire thing is just a big publicity stunt? We'll just have to wait and find out.
Unfriended: Dark Web opens on July 20.

Bottom Line to Consider When Shopping for Business and Commercial Truck Insurance?
Company owner recognize the importance of making sure that their organization is well secured from all threats that can influence their services. A car that is had by the company may place the business at risk of a lawsuit in the event of an accident if the accident is caused by that automobile or its operators. The complying with are bottom lines that local business owner need to remember when looking for industrial truck insurance policy.
Individual or Business Insurance: Take commercial vehicle insurance coverage anytime the lorry is labeled for the business, regardless of the size of truck and no matter if the vehicle is for doing business or satisfaction. The titleholder of the automobile in this case it is the business might be filed a claim against as a result of at fault mishaps, bringing the entire company in a lawful coming before. If the insurance policy protection is not as business, then business might have some issues associated with the credibility of the insurance protection.
Responsibility Limits: Insurance companies offer various obligation limits, from the fundamental limits mandated by legislation in Illinois it is 20,000/ 40,000/ 15,000 to as high as one million buck for every single accident. A business that guarantees its business cars at the basic obligation restrictions of 20,000 bodily injury per person, 40,000 bodily injury per crash, and also 15,000 property damages per crash is definitely running in a big risk of losing its organization possessions in situation of responsible accident entailing their organization cars with death or severe injury to others. High insurance limits are needed to avoid shedding organization assets in situation of vehicle accidents.
Lorry Classification: Improper classification of the commercial automobile may cause nullifying insurance policy protection, consequently, rendering plan worthless and also putting service in considerable risk of shedding organization properties in the event of at fault vehicle accident. What is Commercial Truck Insurance? A truck that is used by an electrical contractor has different category than a similar truck utilized as a dump truck. Both vehicles have various classes and also their premiums are dissimilar in quantity.

Who wins when two of the world's most famed resorts go head to head on social media? The reader, that's who.
When cross state snow rivalry plays out between the Mormon loving state of Utah and the legal weed loving state of Colorado, it's anyone's game as we found out on social media these past few days.
All you folks stuck on an Instagram feed loops of puppies in powder are missing all the hilarity that is twitter. It's the social platform where comedy gold is dropped on an hourly basis by those pithy with a keyboard.
It all started with a simple tweet from Twitter itself.
To which Snowbird responded with this simple piece of live bait.
Telluride must have been busy checking themselves in the view that day, Aspen wouldn't have even felt the water on the duck's back while doing bikram at Lululemon, Crested Butte were too busy drinking cold brew chai and Vail was plotting their move into Japan without telling Alterra.
But not Steamboat, they were all over it and went for the internet bait and, well, this happened.
Uhhhhh, Snowbird responded with this, ouch.
Steamboat came back by throwing Japan into the mix. Yes, we're shaking our heads – that's a famous snow monkey from the Snow Monkey Onsen in Nagano's ski fields. Bad move, Steamboat, neither wins when Japan's snowfall numbers come into play.
Though Snowbird clearly didn't realise it was Japan (or did they), because you know, why go to the land of powder when you claim that the land of powder is yours. Instead they chose to ignore the snow monkeys (because, Japan wins) and did another tweet with pictures of their Cliff Lodge pool as per below.
Then Jackson's Big Red Tram won the online dummy spit with this.
Though the winner was obviously both resorts as Snowbird's Dave Amirault revealed on his own twitter account that Snowbird received over 1 million impressions in the last 28 days, clearly most coming from the recent who does it better banter.
You can read the whole twitter battle including some gold tweets from less than impressed customers and more than impressed twitter trolls with uber quick Gif hands here on Snowbird's twitter feed and Steamboat's twitter feed. You're welcome.

Q: 503 error in authentication using Cloudfront and AWS Lambda for S3 hosted website I associated the following AWS Lambda function with CloudFront to add authentication to a static website hosted in Amazon S3, the problem with the for loop, if I test against a single username and password it works fine, If I add multiple credentials I got 503 Error.
    exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
    // Get request and request headers
    const request = event.Records[0].cf.request;
    const headers = request.headers;

    // Configure authentication
    const credentials = {

        'admin1': 'passadmin2',
        'user1': 'passuser1',
        'admin2': 'passadmin2',
        'user2': 'passuser2'
    };

    let authenticated = true;
    //verify the Basic Auth string
    for (let username in credentials) {
        // Build a Basic Authentication string
        let authString = 'Basic ' + Buffer.from(username + ':' + credentials[username]).toString('base64');
        if (headers.authorization[0].value == authString) {
            // User has authenticated
            authenticated = true;
        }
    }

    // Require Basic authentication
    if (typeof headers.authorization == 'undefined' || !authenticated) {
        const body = 'Unauthorized';
        const response = {
            status: '401',
            statusDescription: 'Unauthorized',
            body: body,
            headers: {
                'www-authenticate': [{ key: 'WWW-Authenticate', value: 'Basic' }]
            },
        };
        callback(null, response);
    }

    // Continue request processing if authentication passed
    callback(null, request);
};

With one single username and password, it works just fine :
Example :
        exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {

      // Get the request and its headers
      const request = event.Records[0].cf.request;
      const headers = request.headers;

      // Specify the username and password to be used
      const user = 'admin1';
      const pw = 'passadmin1';

      // Build a Basic Authentication string
      const authString = 'Basic ' + new Buffer(user + ':' + pw).toString('base64');

      // Challenge for auth if auth credentials are absent or incorrect
      if (typeof headers.authorization == 'undefined' || headers.authorization[0].value != authString) {
        const response = {
          status: '401',
          statusDescription: 'Unauthorized',
          body: 'Unauthorized',
          headers: {
            'www-authenticate': [{key: 'WWW-Authenticate', value:'Basic'}]
          },
        };
        callback(null, response);
      }

      // User has authenticated
      callback(null, request);
    };

I'm using nodejs 8 and typescript for this function.
Could anyone please tell me what's wrong with the first function ?

A: You are checking headers.authorization[0] without checking that it is not undefined:
It should be:
...
        if (headers.authorization && headers.authorization[0].value == authString) {
            // User has authenticated
            authenticated = true;
        }

Q: Text displays two times instead of once Would you please checks what is wrong with my code below. It is a simple ordering system that requires the user to input a customer name, cashier name, whether it is dine in or take out and password. Every time I click a meal once in the combo box it doubles the meal I selected
for example I clicked PM3 it displays:
Your is order is/are:
PM3 (Pork Barbeque 4 pcs.)
PM3 (Pork Barbeque 4 pcs.)

A: Your ItemListener code is being executed twice for both the selected & deselected state changes. You need to check the state change status in your listener:
if (ie.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
  ...

or simply use an ActionListener is you don't wish to check state change.
See: How to Write an Item Listener

A: The user changes the selection in the combo box. So a first ItemEent is fired to tell that the previously selected item has been de-selected, and a second one is fired to say that the newly-selected item has been selected.
I would use an ActionListener instead of an ItemListener.

Now updated based on Final Rules
It is believed that to get correct picture of financials of a business, the financials of the subsidiaries and joints ventures of the company should be analyzed together. On this premise the concept of Consolidation of Accounts is devised and is part of the generally accepted accounting principles would over. Conceptually there are two types of consolidation – (1) Line-by-line consolidation where all the assets, liabilities, and financial transactions are clubbed except for the transaction among the companies and minority interest if any, is disclosed separately; and (2) Partial or Proportionate Consolidation i.e. Consolidation to the extent of equity interest. In the previous Companies Act there was no legal requirement of Consolidation of Accounts by a Company. However as per Accounting Standards- 21 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India every listed company having one or more subsidiaries had to mandatorily prepare consolidated accounts. As per AS-23 only share of profits in case of Associate Company and as per AS-27 proportionate share of assets & liabilities along with profits in case of Joint Ventures are added while consolidating the accounts of the company. These accounting Standards where later adopted by Advisory Committee on Accounting Standards as constituted under section 210A of that Act.
To ensure transparency and facilitate disclosure of clear and refined picture of the state of affairs of companies, the Companies Act, 2013 makes mandatory, the preparation of consolidated financial statements of all the subsidiaries, besides presenting its own financial statements. The inclusion of associates and joint venture companies in the term 'subsidiary' shall further enhance the scope of consolidation process. The new provision is another step in creating a more transparent and investor friendly environment in the Indian economy.
Though the step will enhance transparency in corporate accounts, it may prove cumbersome, with the present corporate structure which involves number of Joint Ventures and Associate Companies. Even closely held companies have to consolidate the accounts of their associate companies and joint ventures besides those of their subsidiaries.
Salient Features of the New Law
The Act of 2013 provides for the inclusion of associate and joint venture companies in the word 'subsidiary'. Where a company has one or more subsidiaries, it shall, in addition to preparing its own financial statements, prepare a consolidated financial statement with all the subsidiaries in the same form and manner as that of its own and it shall also be laid before the annual general meeting of the company along with its financial statement.
The company shall also attach along with its financial statement, a separate statement containing the salient features of the financial statement of its subsidiary or subsidiaries in Form AOC-1. The Consolidation of Financial Statements of the company shall be made in accordance with the Accounting Standards issued by the Central Government. In case there are no Standards issued by the Central Government, Accounting Standards as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India shall be applicable. In case the company has its immediate parent outside India, then Consolidated Financial Statements shall be prepared in the manner and format as specified under Schedule III to the new Act.
Further, to bring transparency in the working of companies, the concept of 'associate' has been inserted at various places in the newAct, such as:
Disclosure in the financial statement through consolidation of accounts, Annual Return, etc.
Even the accounts of foreign subsidiaries shall be required to be attached for filing them with the Registrar. Subsidiary to include ''associate'' and ''joint venture'' for the purpose of consolidation.

This is the third book I read for the Shelf Discovery Challenge hosted by Booking Mamma. Although written almost 30 years ago, this book still depicts some common issues among 10 year-olds in fifth grade, namely friendships, bullying, and school grades. I read it to my 8 year-old daughter currently in third grade and she enjoyed it. She actually wished the story didn't end but continued for longer.
Jenny, the main character is likeable and realistic. When Elsie, an obese girl, becomes the new kid in their class things start happening that challenge Jenny's view of things. Unlike Judy Blume's Blubber which I read as a kid and which was horrid, this story ends on a positive note, and it evolves so that Jenny and her friends develop a friendship with Elsie. There were times when I felt the words used to describe Elsie's condition were crude and overdone. Perhaps this was done intentionally by the author as it was written in the first person from the point of view of a 10 year-old kid who is at the age where self-image is a big deal. It also helps the reader to see the change in Jenny as she begins to see how unfair things are for Elsie as well.
My daughter could relate to most of the issues Jenny confronted, and it enabled us to talk about some of them. There is a satisfying resolution by the end of the book which was important to me as a parent. I would easily recommend this fun and clean read to any middle-grader or mother-daughter book club.
It is nice to see that an older book is still relevant to kids today.
Any book that starts a great conversation between parents and children is a good one to me. This one has a great title too!
I'll have to get my hands on this one for Booking Daughter. Thanks for the review!
