At Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Optical Fabrication dates back to the year 1964 with hand working of optical components in one of the rooms attached to the solar tower in Kodaikanal. At the initiative of Late Prof.M.K.V.Bappu, the then Director, Mr..A.P.Jayarajan set up the optical workshop.
Mirrors up to the size 15 inches were being worked by hand till the first machine capable of handling mirrors up to 30 inches in diameter was fabricated at Kodaikanal workshop. This machine, since operational, has been used for the fabrication of first 20 inch sphere which is now the camera for the Coude spectrograph on 40 inch telescope. Later two 25 inches paraboloid for NAL and some other 24 inch and 30 inch optics were fabricated.

DIY life-size Portal turret can shoot 400 rounds per minute
11:46 am August 13, 2019 By Julian Horsey
A new life-size Portal Turret has been created using 3D printer parts which took over 300 hours to print and is capable of firing up to 400 rounds per minute thanks to the four fully functional Nerf guns integrated into the design. The flywheels powering the nerve guns are made of quadcopter outrunner motors, and spin at 25000 rpm. The theoretical speed of each dart is over 100km/h says it's creator, although in reality it is probably a bit lower. Each gun holds around 18 darts and can shoot 2 darts per seconds to keep your house and possessions safely guarded.
The turret is controlled using an Arduino Mega for the movement, and a Raspberry Pi mini PC for the audio via the speakers in the base and video from the camera in the head. Ultimately the Pi mini PC makes the decisions, though the Arduino is the one that does all of the moving and shooting.
"Follow us, Aperture Science, as our scientist puts our newest product through it's paces, the Sentry Turret. It can see, it can move, and most importantly, it can shoot. Ok, all joking aside, this is a fully scale, fully functional portal turret I have been working on for the past half a year. It is a completely 3D printed, scale 1:1 turret from the game portal. It can open and close, move its guns around, and has a laser in it's eye that can be aimed. A camera in the turret can track targets, and it can shoot said targets with 4 nerf guns."

Opinion of Justice STEVENS respecting the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari.
In suggesting that the Court is derelict in its duty to resolve the apparent conflict between the decision of the Court of Appeals in this case and the decision of the Sixth Circuit in Moore v. Sun Oil Co. of Pennsylvania, 636 F.2d 154 (1980), the dissenting opinion fails to mention the fact that both courts held that the issue of liability should be decided by a jury.* The question whether the arithmetical calculation of backpay should be made by a judge or by a jury under instructions from the judge is not nearly as significant as the question whether the determination of liability should be made by a judge or a jury. Moreover, since the employer in this case no longer offered employment of the type sought by petitioner, the backpay issue arose in a somewhat unusual context. I do not believe the Court has abused its discretion in declining to review this case.
body capable of resolving conflicts between the various lower courts, both federal and state. Our obligation to resolve these conflicts is just as pressing as is the need for a uniform rule of law. In my view this is a very pressing need, and is particularly so when the conflict involves those elements that define the character of the judicial process itself. In this respect, the right to a jury trial is fundamental. It is not a tolerable rule of law that one's right to a jury trial depends upon the geographical location of the federal district court within which one files a complaint. This is precisely what is involved in this case.
Respondent unsuccessfully sought employment as a truck driver with petitioners' trucking company. Alleging that this refusal to hire was based on racial considerations, respondent brought this suit claiming a violation of 42 U.S.C. 1981.1 He filed his complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Respondent sought monetary damages for backpay, lost insurance benefits, expenses incurred in seeking alternative employment, pain and suffering, interest, attorney's fees, and costs. He moved for a jury trial. That motion was opposed by petitioners with respect to the claims for lost wages, interest, attorney's fees, and costs. The District Court, acting sua sponte, entered an order denying a jury trial on all issues, holding that a jury trial is not available in a 1981 case.
therefore the parties are not entitled to a jury trial with respect to such issue even though reinstatement is not sought." Id., at 156.
Mr. Moore and Mr. Setser sought relief under the same federal statute and were entitled to the same judicial procedure for resolution of their claims. There should be no such a thing as "the law of this circuit" with respect to an issue as fundamental as the right to a jury trial. I would grant the petition and set the case for plenary consideration.
"Since Moore's claim for legal relief and equitable relief are both based on alleged racial discrimination and since Moore was entitled to a jury trial with respect to his legal claims, he was entitled to have a jury determine liability (i.e. whether he had been a victim of racial discrimination). 9 Wright & Miller, Fed.Prac. & Proc. 2306. If the jury so determined that here was liability, it would be for the court to determine whether Moore was entitled to back pay." 636 F.2d, at 157.
Footnote 1 Respondent also alleged that he was refused employment by petitioners in retaliation for filing a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Petitioners seek review of the Court of Appeals holding that 1981 affords a cause of action for a claim based on alleged retaliation for such a filing. I do not believe that this issue merits consideration by the Court at this time.
Footnote 2 The Court of Appeals granted rehearing en banc, limited to the question of the permissibility under 1981 of race-conscious affirmative- action plans designed to remedy racial imbalance in a private employer's work force. The conclusions of the court on this issue are not relevant to the issues presented in the petition for certiorari.

And it's truly such a shame.
So you search for yourself in bookstores.
And sing the words on each page.
So she belts them from her heart and soul.
My mom didn't know what that meant at the time, but perhaps she was spiritual because now I'm twenty-two years old and this random woman that approached my mom couldn't be more right about me.
That sometimes I forget to heal myself, take care of myself and appreciate myself as I do others.
I've spent years attempting to mend wounded hearts and broken souls in hopes to repair damage from unfortunate events in others' lives that I couldn't control.
As much as I wanted to fix it, there was nothing more I could do besides be a good friend.
For once glass breaks, you can try your best to glue the pieces back together but it will always be cracked.
You can't fix something that is broken but you can try to put the pieces back together and fill the cracks with life lessons and hope that things will get better.
A shattered heart is stronger than one that has never been broken.
If you hold your head high enough and grow from tragedy, then the cracks will fade but they will still be there to remind you that you beat something you once didn't think you could.
Our hearts are like glass.
We have these beautiful fragile organs that beat from the insides of our chest.
They can become easily fractured, yet they can also make our smiles glisten when things begin to go right.
but also act as a reflection of all that you've overcome.
Remember, our hearts aren't shatter proof and without all those cracks from tragedy…how would the light seep in when the darkness starts to clear?
Below is a poem I wrote in high school. Read further down to see what I have learned since writing this. Accept yourself for all that you are…I promise that you are enough.
But the kind that self-destructs.
The ones that keep you from sleeping at night.
Releasing all the good left in me.
We all tend to be our own worst enemies. We are always concerned with what other people think of us because we assume that they are already judging us. More often than not, the only person judging you is yourself. And if other people are judging you than they are either jealous or are tearing you down to make them feel better about themselves because of their own insecurities…so in actuality, you should be feeling bad for those people. Those are the people who are the unhappiest with themselves. The people who put other people down to make themselves feel better have more issues than you and probably need some help of their own.
So in reality, it makes me laugh when I see someone judging another person because that person who is judging is trying to come off as the dominant, strong one when in fact they are nothing but weak. A strong person can be someone who has just as many insecurities but sees another person and admires their beauty, their confidence, and their talents. In my opinion, that is the definition of a strong person because even if they are not happy with themselves, they will not take down another person just to make him or herself feel better.
Instead, a strong person will praise someone else's success and want to watch them keep learning, growing, and succeeding despite whatever is going on in their own life. Be that kind of person. And stop beating yourself up because your biggest enemy is you. You need to stop tearing yourself down and you need to start building yourself up. And for those of you tearing other people down to make yourself feel better, stop for a minute and think about how weak a move that really is.
Rather than tearing that person down, build that person up just like you would want someone to do for you. STOP being the monster you see in your head. START being the person you want to be. Don't let other people get in your head. Don't let the fear of what other people think of you ruin the perception of yourself. You're better than that. Be the strong person I know you are.
Living in a generation where disappointment is much too common is a very unsettling thing.
The word disappointment creeps over us like dawn creeps on those who are unable to sleep at night.
It burns us from within, melting our insides.
There is no way to stop the fire from spreading as the flames feed hungrily on our minds and eat at our bones.
It's that queasy feeling you get in your stomach after hearing that some boy was just using you to get a stupid favor.
It's that moment when you realize who your true friends are.
What you once thought was a rainbow is now a cloud of dust as you see someone's true colors begin to unfold.
It's an anchor holding you down on the ocean floor, leaving you to drown and squabble for air as you realize you were the one to blame for your sorrow.
You have no control over disappointment because it is something that we do not expect.
We can disappoint ourselves just as well as anyone else can disappoint us. Whether we accidentally disappoint ourselves, or someone disappoints us, disappointment is a bitter feeling.
It happens suddenly and in a flash before you can even register the harm that has been done to your hopeless little body and mind.
but the unknown is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
If only we could learn to see it that way.
but that is what makes life worthwhile.
The unknown is our experiences that are yet to come.
but that is the magic of the unknown.
We mustn't fear the unknown.
Instead we must dive into it head on and be willing to take risks.
Because sometimes, disappointment simply arises from within by the lack of stepping out of our comfort zone and going after what we want.
You might try something and fail at it, which leaves you disappointed.
But if you do not try something you want to, then you are still left disappointed because you aren't pursuing what you want.
Either way, you may be left disappointed so why not go after what you want?
Don't be disappointed because you failed.
Instead, you should be disappointed only if you don't try.
Failure is a part of learning and helps us to grow into stronger beings.
Don't be afraid of it.
Chase after the unknown, embrace it, and simply learn from what is to come.
Disappointment is a part of life.
Sometimes the things we go through that leave us disappointed make us better people – more passionate, more caring. We may view things or people differently and change our ways for the better.
So, in fact, disappointment is a beautiful thing.
It is one of the few things that can help shape us into the people we are.
If we view it as a positive thing, we can only grow from the disappointment.
It's about turning negative situations into positive situations.
It's all about perspective, and I hope that you channel all the disappointment in your life into something beautiful.

The community-led bond and boundary planning committee for Highline Public Schools presented a recommended set of boundary maps and a short list of additional considerations at the June 6 school board meeting.
The proposed elementary, middle and high school boundaries are the result of a year-long process led by the Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC). The maps and school feeder plan presented to the school board reflect public feedback gathered in 10 community meetings and a districtwide survey.
CFAC co-chairs Rose Clark and Aaron Garcia complimented the volunteer committee members for their public service and their willingness to work through complicated and controversial issues that impact families.
"We had some difficult, but important conversations, and we did a lot of listening to feedback," said Clark.
"I'm proud that we were able to create a plan that incorporates most of the input we got from the community," said Garcia.
CFAC members also recommended several supplemental considerations aimed at decreasing the impacts of boundary changes and alleviating inequities resulting from neighborhood demographics in Highline. Their ideas ranged from making in-district transfers easier for students living within sight of a school that is outside their new boundary to directing more resources to schools with higher poverty rates.
This plan perpetuates an inequity that has existed in our district for decades. CFAC was unable to come to consensus on a solution to this inequity.
CFAC does not represent the demographics of the community.
CFAC recommends that the south end Challenge program move to the new Des Moines Elementary School.
CFAC encourages the district to ensure that students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are served as close to their residence as possible.
CFAC recommends that students who live within sight of a school have priority for in-district transfer as a hardship.
CFAC encourages the district to consider redistribution of financial and other resources to address the known gaps that exist between schools.
The school board will take the CFAC recommendation under consideration and is expected to vote on a final boundary plan at its next meeting on June 27.
Highline families living in change areas will receive information in early fall 2018 about their new elementary service area or new feeder pattern for middle school or high school. The new boundary plan will take effect in fall 2019 and will coincide with the opening of the new Glacier Middle School and new, larger Des Moines Elementary School.

Q: Why does UICollectionViewFlowLayout get called multiple times when initializing a class with a UICollectionView, and why not draw correctly? I am trying to develop a UICollectionViewFlowLayout subclass that lays out items like a UITableView. The items use auto layout, and I also support supplementary header views.
open override func layoutAttributesForSupplementaryView(ofKind elementKind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes? {
    guard let attributes = super.layoutAttributesForSupplementaryView(ofKind: elementKind, at: indexPath) else { return nil }
    print("Section Attributes: \(attributes)")
    return attributes
}

override open func layoutAttributesForItem(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes? {
    let attributes = super.layoutAttributesForItem(at: indexPath)
    if let attributes = attributes {
        guard let collectionView = collectionView else { return attributes }
        attributes.bounds.size.width = collectionView.bounds.width - sectionInset.left - sectionInset.right
    }
    return attributes
}

override open func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]?
{
    print("\nlayoutAttributesForElements: \(rect)")

    let allAttributes = super.layoutAttributesForElements(in: rect)
    return allAttributes?.flatMap { attributes in
        switch attributes.representedElementCategory {
        case .cell:
            print("\ncell: \(attributes.indexPath)");
            print("cell_old Attributes: \(attributes)")
            let a = layoutAttributesForItem(at: attributes.indexPath)
            print("cell_new Attributes: \(a)")
            return a
        case .supplementaryView:
            print("\nsupp: \(attributes.indexPath)");
            print("supp_old Attributes: \(attributes)")
            let a = layoutAttributesForSupplementaryView(ofKind: UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader, at: attributes.indexPath)
            print("supp_new Attributes: \(a)")
            return a
        default: return attributes
        }
    }
}

Additionally, my UICollectionViewCell subclass overrides preferredLayoutAttributesFitting:
override func preferredLayoutAttributesFitting(_ layoutAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes
{
    layoutAttributes.bounds.size.height = systemLayoutSizeFitting(UILayoutFittingCompressedSize).height
    return layoutAttributes
}

This...sort of works. The items are laid out correctly, but section header views draw at the wrong y coordinates. I can hack it by calling collectionView.reloadData() in the view's controller, but this obviously requires everything to be loaded twice, which is wrong.
Debug output shows that layoutAttributesForElements gets called three times before I call reloadData():
layoutAttributesForElements: (0.0, 0.0, 375.0, 667.0)

In the final pass of layoutAttributesForElements, the values are correct for both the items and supplementary views, but for some reason the supplementary views are not drawing at that position. They draw at the position in the first two passes.
What's going on here? Why the multiple passes, and why isn't the third pass being used for the supplementary views? Is there a better way to implement this?

Q1 - How do you make sense of this idiom "You may go further and do a lot worse"?
According to a staff member I talked to, the idiom is showing a sort of national identity. It asks the Scottish people NOT to go south for England as it will only do bring them bad fortune.
Q2 - I found these weird items for sale at a hidden corner at the Edinburgh airport. What are these?
They are a kind of mini toothbrush for chewing. One pound each, available in the lavatory.
Q1 - The tour guide said it was a good thing to see these fungi, can you guess why?
Fungi only survive in clean air. Having fungi growing all over the trees implies that the air in the location is very clean.
Q2 - whose room was it? And why do you think so?
It was Mrs Lam's room. I have no idea how you could guess it right but some of you did guess it right with very good reasoning!
Q1 - As far as you can see from this short clip, how does their maths lesson differ from yours at school?
In fact, all of your answers are sensible. I notice mainly the grouping and the use of the small board for each student. But you know your maths lessons better than I do.
Q2 - Are you always ready and comfortable to share with a visitor what you are good at?
This is a self-reflective question which can only be answered by yourselves. But I'm glad to see quite a few of you answering "yes"!
Q1 - Can you tell what was so special about this poster?
This one is super hard...The speech bubbles on the poster were actually sound devices. I pressed on it and it played a sentence which was prerecorded by a student. Those sentences were statements on children's rights.
Q2 - why did I go to Stirling today?
It was because I wanted to visit my old school - The University of Stirling.
Q3 - By the look of them, could you guess what they are?
Those are study pods for small group gathering for discussion and homework.
I didn't give any question this day. But I'm glad to answer yours.
Q1 - In the Chinese Booth of the fair, could you tell/guess which two activities were offered?
Surprisingly, some of you did give me the right answers...The two games were chopstick skills and Chinese calligraphy.
Q2 - Do you understand what sort of difficulties Keren needs to get through and what achievement she had got?
I appreciate those who attempted to respond to this as the audio in the clip might be too hard for some of you. Keren struggled with her deafness and that she had no language when she first moved to Scotland. Adjusting her life with hearing students in school was also a challenge. But Keren still managed to win a poetry award!
Q1 - Try to listen to him (Prof Mattieson) carefully (maybe several times) and see if you could understand what he said here! Try to sum it up!
Another good challenge here. Prof Mattieson summed up the relationship between the Scottish and London Government and said that the former could run their own education policies.
Q2 - Among the many moments I recorded in these travelogue articles for Scotland, which one do you think is my favourite and why?
There are in fact too many memorable moments that could be my favourite. If I must choose, my meeting with Prof Mattieson, interaction with some individual Scottish students, and tour in Stirling were among my top favourite parts of this tour.
To conclude, as I have shared with my students in the morning assembly, be a world explorer and bring back your learning to share with others in Hong Kong. The world is a huge classroom and everyone can be your teacher. As for our P.6 boys, another tour is upcoming, be prepared to dig deep!
After reading your passage, I was really and totally amazed by the answer of the Question 1 in Day 4... It was pretty creative to put sound devices on the poster (However, I wonder what was the use of it...) and Ying Wa can imitate this to improve our schoolmates' spoken English!
Firstly: In Day 1, I would like to know if the mini toothbrush were common and popular in Scotland or even the whole UK, because personally speaking, it was quite expensive.
Secondly: In Day 6, I wonder how long Chinese Booth of the fair took. A day, a week, or a whole year?
Thanks for Dr.Lee's answers and I think that Scotland is amazing as there are many new and weird (to HongKongers) things to discover! Incredible!!!!!!
Hi Dr Lee, thank you for sharing your wonderful journey with us.
First, I would like to ask about the toothbrush. Is the toothbrush really for chewing? After using them to brush our teeth, are we supposed to like, eat them?
Next, I would like to ask about the idiom "You may go further and do a lot worse". Are the Scottish people racist? Do they hate the English?
I would also ask how long had you been studying in Scotland. Were you only studying in The University of Stirling or also studying in other schools? That must be the reason why your English is so good. If we want to improve our English, we MUST study overseas.
And I have a last question to ask you, did you sit in the study pots with the other teachers? I would love to sit in there as I find those spherical objects very interesting and I have never sat in those study pots.
Dr Lee, I truly think that you have succeeded in bringing back your journey to share with us. Thank you for sharing with us!
Next,I want to ask a question regarding to the question 3 in day 4,(before using the study pools,do the students need to pay for the rent ,if yes, how much is it ?
Lastly,I want to ask that are you very surprised that you could see the old Ying Wa boys in Scotland?

Q: How do I get only the balance values as outputs from request_client.get_balance() function of Binance api? I just want to get the value of the balances as an output. I tried using '''json.loads''' but it gives me and error.
Code
request_client = RequestClient(api_key=API_KEY, secret_key=API_SECRET,
url='https://fapi.binance.com')

result = request_client.get_balance()

print(result)

Output
[{"accountAlias":"XXXX","asset":"USDT","balance":"0.00000000","withdrawAvailable":"0.00000000","updateTime":1611266515660},{"accountAlias":"XXXX","asset":"BNB","balance":"0.00004992","withdrawAvailable":"0.00004992","updateTime":1611043014858},{"accountAlias":"XXXX","asset":"BUSD","balance":"0.00000000","withdrawAvailable":"0.00000000","updateTime":0}]

A: Seems like your result variable is list with dictionaries inside. To get access to specific element in dictionary use [position] 0,1,2,3 etc....
To get specific value from dictionary we need to access it via key, in this case keys are: accountAlias, asset, balance, withdrawAvailable and updateTime.
Combining this methods gain you access to value inside result variable.
To get balance of first element(USDT) in dictionary use: print(result[0]['balance']),
to get balance of second element(BNB) in dictionary use: print(result[1]['balance']).
But if you want to get list of all balances at once(in one variable):
a = [lst['balance'] for lst in result]
Output:['0.00000000', '0.00004992', '0.00000000']

Is there a way to change the default so you return to the main screen of the Droid after ending a call rather than pulling up the call list?
Came here to post this also. Tired of pocket redials.
I hope this is addressed in the new update. I am going nuts with this seemingly simple issue.

Just downloaded gtalk any specific install instructions or does this just over write current version?

Backstreet's Back Alright
Contributed by BiancaBR:
The Spanish website BSBLatino.com has known through reliable official sources that this time the return of Backstreet Boys as a group seems not only possible, but almost certain. Backstreet Boys are currently negotiating their return to the studio for the beginning of 2004, to record what would be, their fifth album. Read on for more.
"On behalf of BSBLatino and nickolas-carter.com we would like to ask you all to pay attention to events on Dec. 10th. On this day the Oprah show in which all five Boys reunited will at last be shown on American TV…but there is something even better….that day the Boys may be on The Billboard Awards in Las Vegas, and an official announcement may be given. We were not authorized to tell what the announcement would be, but our source did say that it would make Backstreet Fans very happy *lol*
As regards Nick Carter and his second album; unfortunately he has decided to postpone his work temporarily in favor of the group album, but this in no way means that the album is cancelled. His recorded material will be kept until he is ready to continue. This of course implies that his trip to London will be postponed till further notice. He is currently taking time off to spend with his family at home.
As for the film 'Brew' which was to be shot in January, it is also on hold, but not because of these changes of plans, but because the Production team need more time for casting.
We may also get an unexpected surprise regarding 'new management'. This will also be announced soon."

elperrosync says:
The only reason Nick Carter postpone is second album is because he knew that it would be another FLOP like NON. Please the BSB know that they are finish they are just trying to make a flew bucks before they go away. The Backstreet Boys are a bunch of FAKES who is only in it for the money.
IF THIS fake news is true than teenyboppers will be happy about this.The Backstreet Boys are screwed because they do't allow people to lip sync anymore so that will put a HOLD TO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! The Backstreet Boys are the definition of a BOYBAND
Hotstar says:
Whatever they don't need the money so they should just quit since any new album will just flop. They are too old to be called boys and the chubby one, Nick, is just embarrassing. People have moved on and they were out of the game too long, sorry boys. At least Elgato will buy their lame ass album.
kellybsblover says:
BSB have always been known for putting positive music out there for young people. In a world of war and hatred we need positive influences for the young people like BSB have always been. There also very talented. I feel sorry for the haters cause BSB are never going away.
Actually if you go to youre COMTEMPORARY ADULT station youll here BSB all the time. the only radio stations that refuse to play them are clear channel
RadioFreeRoscoe says:
Positive music for young people? Uh, I think the Black Eyed Peas have replaced BSB in that area. Maybe they'll find another angle, BSB sucks seriously.
bsg1hbk says:
Grr I was looking forward to Nick going down to London. but besides that …..YAY!!!!!! I am so happy to hear that I can't wait for their album I'm sure its going to be the best and worth all the wait!
Sure I wanted the Backstreet to be back again, but I was also waiting for Nick to come with a new material. That's sad. After Now Or Never, I wanted more! Well, gotta wait again! Anyway, the Backstreet are finally back. This is the most important thing on all the pop music world. Because except the Backstreet Boys, I hate groups of boys.
music_vibe says:
From your username, let me guess…Nsync fan? Shoot if I'm wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of both groups. Well, I love music in general. But um….bitter, much? Yes, NON didn't do well sales wise, but I know for a fact that Nick was ready to do another solo album from the get go; all he needed to do was finish recording and release it BUT he's decided as well as the other group that it's time for another group album and their break has been long enough. See, even with Justin's success, if he really cared about his "brothers", he'd be ready to go back to the studio and do another Nsync album. But from that Rolling Stone interview, he basically said (without really saying it) that's Nsync is over. He's gotten so big headed that he's forgotten that WITHOUT Nsync, his solo would be a flop and he would just be a struggling artist. He used Nsync as a stepping stone and once success came, he's forgotten about his "brothers". Way to stab his "brothers" in the back, huh? And from your comments, you're just a little bitter because unlike BSB, Nsync's new album is still off the far distance. If not impossible. Also, please, if you're gonna put some comments (insults), have some reasons to back them up. Sorry, but those teenybopper days, Nsync vs. BSB. "BSB sucks!" or "Nsync sucks!" is over. Let it go. Grow up.
Danisha says:
These guys are a joke, BUT I think if they may actually have a successful comeback if they comeback the way they were–doing boring, bland, vanilla, non-threatening teen pop. If these guys comeback and pull an *NSYNC-trying (and failing HARD) to do R&B and hip-hop, they'll be laughed out of the business. They can't convincingly pull off anything remotely urban. As long as they keep appealing to all those suburban white girls and pretty gay boys who made them household names, they may have a shot.
just-me says:
At least you admitted they're good, in a roundabout way. BSB doesn't need to pull an Nsync because, 1-Nsync just exist because the BSB worked hard overseas to open the doors to them. 2-Nsync COPIED everything BSB did 3-BSB have their own good taste to go to the "other" side like Nsync and Timberlake did trying to gain more fans. BSB doesn't need that, their millions of fans are more than enough.
Wow, nice argument there. Really, better than any arguments I've heard before…. My likeness for Timberlake is hot and cold, but no matter what I still do like his music. Attitude wise, it's different. If you meet him without the cameras, without any celebs without anyone associated with the industry (radio, press, etc.), then um…have fun, wait, more like good luck. I've been around him, more than you probably have, someone needs to tell him that he's not God and he won't always get what he wants just because he's Justin Timberlake. Do I want him to create another album? Sure, why not. Everyone deserves their chance. But my point is, that he used Nsync and without Nsync you wouldn't be a Justin fan because there would be no Justin Timberlake the "famous artist" it would just be Justin Timberlake, from Memphis. Besides, if you didn't read carefully, what I was trying to say was Nsync is over and that the person who commented should stop being bitter and hating because Nsync is never coming back. Really. And my reasons? Justin's the reason. For Justin, when you're up the only way to go is down. Now, go along.
hi Brian I love you I am the girl who had the " grace of my life" poster in Newfoundland, I am a huge fan of you and Leighannne and I absolutely love your brother Harold he is so hot and amazing. I am a huge fan!!!
Sarah….


Welcome to wildcard weekend and the NFL playoffs! With your fantasy season over, the playoffs are the perfect holdover between now and when the RSO site reopens a few days after the Super Bowl. We have three lines below three points and the defending champions +6.5 on the road in Chicago. The games should be highly entertaining this weekend. Like last year, some of the RSO Writers have made their predictions for and given a little analysis of each game, which can be found below. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the weekend!
Stephen Wendell: Andrew Luck quietly has gotten his team back to the playoffs, which is a good sign for the future of the Colts. However, Deshaun Watson is back to looking healthy and I think he and his other Clemson buddy DeAndre Hopkins are too much for the Colts to handle in the end. Projected Score: Texans 28 – Colts 21.
Matt Papson: Both teams enter the playoffs red hot, tying each other at 9-2 their last 11 games. An incredible story for the Colts, with Andrew Luck returning from a devastating injury, barely able to throw a football a year ago, first year Head Coach and second year GM Chris Ballard making the best use of their personnel. The colts and Texans May battle for the AFC south for years to come. The Texans also have a great story, with Bill O'Brien going from the hot seat to coach of the year candidate, an incredible defense, deshaun Watson's return from his own injury, and the passing of Bob McNair, the team's founder and owner, as inspiration. Ultimately I think the Texans win a tight thanks to their defense. Projected Score: Texans 27 – Colts 24.
Kyle English: I am not about to pick against the Colts who have been on fire lately (Editor's Note: and our my favorite team). Projected Score: Colts 27 – Texans 24.
Matt Goodwin: With some assistance from my 8 year old son Jory who wanted to pick these games with me, here we go. Both division rivals won on the road in this series this season, with the Colts winning 24-21 to start their four game winning streak. I think (and Vegas agrees) that a similar score is in order for this game. TY Hilton has performed very well in Houston in the past. However, I think the Texans defense will cause a lot of problems/turnovers for Andrew Luck even with an improved Colts offensive line and the Deshaun Watson/DeAndre Hopkins will shine in this game, giving the Texans the edge. Additionally, Ka'imi Fairbairn was the best kicker in the game this year and is practically automatic at home (18/19 for the season). Projected Score: Texans 27 – Colts 20.
Nick Andrews: This matchup is probably the least interesting to the casual football fan but by the end of wild card weekend, this may be the biggest nail-biter. The Colts have looked solid in the final quarter of the season with a shutout win over Cowboys and a victory over these very same Texans just four (4) weeks ago. If the playoffs started in December the Texans would have been the hottest team entering the tournament but losing two of their last four games has put them in a bit of a slump. The playoffs sometimes have teams roll through a couple weeks on pure momentum and after a must win on Sunday night last week I think the Colts are going to be coming out of the gate a little faster than the Texans. Colts 27 – Texans 24.
Bernard Faller: The AFC South rematch resumes with both teams posting identical points scored and 1-1 records against each other this season. The Texans' weaknesses jump off the page when compared to the Colts. Houston's offensive line is still a mess while the defensive secondary is exploitable if Indianapolis' stellar offensive line can contain Watt and Clowney to a degree. Expect another tight one. Projected Score: Colts 31 – Texans 28.
Luke Patrick O'Connell: The FantasyDocOC is letting his scores speak for themselves this week. Projected Score: Colts 24 – Texans 21.
Stephen Wendell: Seattle has had a remarkable year and Pete Carroll deserved the contract extension but they are 4-4 away from the friendly confines of CenturyLink Field, and Dak + Zeke + Cooper will be too much for the Seahawks in Jerry World. Dallas wins and covers. Projected Score: Cowboys 28 – Seahawks 21.
Matt Papson: The Cowboys have been great at home this year, but I don't think this team is ready for this moment. With Kris Richard getting looks from other teams as a head coaching candidate, it will be interesting to see if Jerry finally decides to move on from Jason Garrett and again replace from within. This Seahawks team could be dangerous in the playoffs, though they'd need to win two road games, and have the eagles win two road games, in order to host the NFC championship in Seattle. I don't think this one will be as close as the line suggests. Projected Score: Seahawks 31 – Cowboys 16.
Kyle English: Both teams have been on a roll, but I'll take the Cowboys at home. Projected Score: Cowboys 20 – Seahawks 17.
Nick Andrews: This game is either going to be the highest or lowest scoring game of the week, there's no middle ground. Both teams want to run the ball as much as they can to get down to the final possession and have a chance to either score the game winner or milk out the clock. Sure, there will be some big plays in the passing game between Lockett, Baldwin, and Cooper but I think both sides would be more comfortable if their running game had close to 30 touches and 150 yards on the ground. Red zone trips will become the premium and whichever teams make at least 2 red zone touchdowns will in the game. Seahawks 13 – Cowboys 10.
Bernard Faller: This should be a good game between franchises which have exceeded many expectations this season. Both teams play a similar style pounding away at the run game with better defenses than many give credit for. I trust Russell Wilson a lot more than Dak Prescott to make plays when needed in a low scoring affair. Projected Score: Seahawks 17 – Cowboys 13.
Stephen Wendell: Wow, Phillip Rivers puts up one of his best years of his career, goes 12-4 and travels to face a first-year QB in Lamar Jackson and is a 2.5 point underdog. I think it is Rivers' time and the Chargers avenge the Week 2 loss to the Ravens and come out of Baltimore with a win. Projected Score: Chargers 24 – Ravens 20.
Matt Papson: The Chargers are sneaky good, but I can't help but take the hot hand. I have always admired the Ravens organization ability to be competitive year after year. They're seemingly always risk moving on from veterans a year early rather a year late, and it's only been a few games, but getting Lamar Jackson with the last pick in the first round, giving them an option for his fifth season, looks like a final stroke of genius by one of the best GMs of the modern era. After the season, it wouldn't be totally surprising if they decide to trade (yes, trade) John Harbaugh to another team and move forward with Eric DeCosta and a new coach with their young QB into a new era. Projected Score: Ravens 24 – Chargers 23.
Kyle English: I'll take the veteran QB over the rookie. Projected Score: Chargers 24 – Ravens 20.
Matt Goodwin: Baltimore is like the Pharcyde as they want to keep "Runnin'" with rookie sensation Lamar Jackson providing the lightning to Gus Edwards' thunder; however the Chargers offense getting off to a quick start can potentially alter the game script. In the meeting a few weeks ago in Los Angeles, an interception on an underthrown bad decision ball to Mike Williams by Philip Rivers set the tone early and took the Chargers rhythm from the game, particularly from Melvin Gordon and early penalties called back some big plays. I think the Chargers getting Austin Ekeler back from a stinger/concussion helps in the utility role and a fully healthy Keenan Allen should carve up the Ravens very solid secondary as they continue to play him in the slot where Baltimore just gave up 5-102-1 to Jarvis Landry last week. If Hunter Henry comes back (even on a pitch count) that should also help matters in the very attackable middle of the field against the Ravens. I also think that the Chargers get more pressure on Lamar Jackson this go round and in spite of being on the road, the better team wins in this one. Projected Score: Chargers 24 – Ravens 20.
Nick Andrews: I want Philip Rivers to have a rubber match game at the Chiefs in the divisional round next week. I just can't see the outcome of this week's game being any different then what transpired in week 16. The Ravens play a smothering defense that doesn't allow most offenses to go the length of the field multiple times in a game. Combine that with the fact that each offensive drive the Ravens have drains so much of the clock with their running game it puts an even greater emphasis on Rivers getting at least a score on every other drive. The only way I see the Chargers flipping the script is if rookie QB Lamar Jackson makes multiple mistakes that lead to short fields and easier scoring chances. Ravens 24 – Chargers 12.
Bernard Faller: Baltimore dominated the first game between these two teams where the Ravens suffocating defense forced Phillip Rivers into his worst game of the year. Baltimore's run-heavy approach with rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson has given teams fits so far. I believe the Chargers adjust this time around and Rivers out-duels Jackson for the win. Projected Score: Chargers 24 – Ravens 17.
Luke Patrick O'Connell: The FantasyDocOC is letting his scores speak for themselves this week. Projected Score: Chargers 31 – Ravens 14.
Stephen Wendell: No surprise from me here. When Wentz went down in Week 14, I texted some old Eagles buddies to chin up because Nick Foles was going to come in and win seven straight to become a Philadelphia God (he is currently a Philadelphia legend). He took care of the first three games, and I think this will be number four (remember Mitchell Trubisky is playing in his first ever playoff game). Projected Score: Eagles 20 – Bears 17.
Matt Papson: The Church of Nick Foles. Projected Score: Eagles 33 – Bears 31.
Kyle English: As much as I want to believe in the Foles' magic, the Bears are the better team. Projected Score: Bears 24 – Eagles 13.
Nick Andrews: Foles Magic Part Deux is upon us once again and much like the Colts who started their playoff a week earlier than everyone, the Eagles have been in must-win mode for most of December. Unlike the Texans who I think have a good defense, I think the Bears have a great defense that, even when their offense isn't working at full capacity, can more than make up for it. Much like Lamar Jackson in Baltimore I think all Mitch Trubisky has to do is not have negative plays and this team should easily move on to the divisional round. Bears 20 – Eagles 13.
Bernard Faller: This game presents more questions than answers. How will Mitchell Trubisky react in his first post-season game? Will a Nick Foles with bruised ribs continue last season's incredible playoff run? The one known is a Chicago defense with no true weakness decimating offenses of late. The Foles' post-season magic dries up playing in the cold confines of Chicago. Projected Score: Bears 21 – Eagles 10.
Luke Patrick O'Connell: The FantasyDocOC is letting his scores speak for themselves this week. Projected Score: Bears 17 – Eagles 14.

Dave Grohl: 'I Was F–king Terrified' Before Nirvana's 1992 Reading Festival Show
Graham Hartmann Published: August 24, 2019
Mick Hutson, Redferns
Nirvana's 1992 headlining performance at the Reading Festival is often celebrated as one of the greatest rock gigs in history. 35,000 people came to see the band, who had just become one of the biggest on Earth, and for months before the concert, drummer Dave Grohl found himself overcome with panic.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" exploded like an atomic bomb once it was released in September 1991, changing the landscape of music so drastically, hair metal was completely wiped from the airwaves. "It really did feel like you were at the start of a revolution," Grohl recalls during an interview with NME.
Having performed on Reading's midcard the previous year, Grohl knew how gigantic a headlining spot really was. "I was fucking terrified. I would wake up every morning in this panic attack in a fit of anxiety, knowing that there was this festival that I was going to have to play in front of 35,000 people – which I had never done. When we got there that day, I realized how big it really was," Grohl shared.
"So much had happened in those 12 months," he said. "The band had obviously had its ups and downs … I didn't expect much. Kurt [Cobain] had been in and out of rehab, the band hadn't really done much in the months leading up to it and everything just seemed sort of scattered and disconnected. We'd had one rehearsal a few days before and it just didn't feel grounded."
Reflecting further, the legend went on, "It was an amazing show. It had a lot to do with the audience, I think. I remember walking backstage and bumping into friends from other bands who would look at me and say, What are you doing here?' I'd say 'We're fucking headlining!' and they'd say, 'You're actually gonna play?' They were just surprised we showed up. For it to turn out to be such a beautiful evening was just something else, and unfortunately the last time we played the U.K."
Grohl's likely more used to giant crowds these days having turned the Foo Fighters into one of modern rock's few stadium bands. The Foos are planning to release a new album in 2020, marking their 10th studio release.

Meet the 2018 Sasaki Summer Interns!
This post is an introduction to this year's intern class, as well as an overview of our annual internship program. To learn more about this year's intern design charrette, click here.
The 2018 Sasaki Summer Internship has officially commenced! This year, Sasaki welcomed 25 unique and talented individuals, who convened at the firm's Watertown office in early June. Each year, many of the interns begin the 12-week internship by collaborating on a two-week design charrette. 16 of the interns participated in this year's charrette, while the other nine dove directly into ongoing firm projects.
The annual charrette brings together the interns—representing landscape architecture, urban design and planning, civil engineering, architecture, and marketing—to collaborate on a design-intensive exercise, culminating in a final presentation to the entire firm.
The prompt for this year's charrette, "Shifting Gears," built upon previously-conducted research on the impact of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on the urban environment. Interns worked with Sasaki planners and designers to imagine a real-world location in a radical future in which there are no privately-owned vehicles.
The group took an urbanist perspective on AVs, examining the potential implications of implementing AVs in a "middle" neighborhood—the "gray area" between urban and suburban settings. A neighborhood in nearby Somerville, MA, served as the location for this charrette. The charrette coordinators selected this site because it represents the "last mile" challenge that such middle neighborhoods are prone to. With the closest subway station over a mile away, this neighborhood presents rich opportunities for AVs to improve residents' access and mobility.
The interns presented their final presentation in mid-June. Stay tuned for a comprehensive report on the final presentation.
The interns have now broken off into their respective sectors and are hard at work on various projects. To learn more about our fabulous 2018 charrette intern class, see below! Not pictured are the nine interns already immersed in project work: Joshua Brooks, Yifan Cai, Charles Hart, Peilin Li, Miao Luo, Melody Park, Billy Toohey, Jonathan Yeung, Boxiang Yu.

Q: Get chrono seconds in float In the example at http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono the seconds value is obtained in a double. This is the behavior I want. However, this appears to rely on the implicit assumption that the time point subtraction yields a value that represents seconds. I can not find anything that explains why a duration yields floating point seconds when no time units are actually specified. Without using auto at all, can someone show how to explicitly obtain a time unit such as seconds in a floating point type, or point me to documentation or explanation as to why the aforementioned conversion represents seconds?
The conversion in question is essentially:
std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> start = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> end = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
std::chrono::duration<double> elapsed_seconds = end-start; // why does this represent seconds as opposed to some other time unit?
double secondsInDouble = elapsed_seconds.count();

See the following posts for examples of the conversion.
How to get duration, as int milli's and float seconds from <chrono>?
C++ chrono - get duration as float or long long
getting chrono time in specific way
Chrono Timer Not Converting Seconds Properly

A: According to this: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/duration the default ratio for the second template parameter is 1:1 meaning seconds.
Other values are ratios relative to that. For example the ratio for std::chrono::milliseconds is 1:1000 http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/ratio/ratio
So this statement:
std::chrono::duration<double> elapsed_seconds = end-start;

is equivalent to:
std::chrono::duration<double, std::ratio<1>> elapsed_seconds = end-start;

Which is defined to be seconds from which all other ratios are derived.
Whatever units end - start are defined in get converted to std::ratio<1> as in seconds.
If you wanted the time in milliseconds you could do:
std::chrono::duration<double, std::ratio<1, 1000>> elapsed_milliseconds = end-start;

And end - start  should be converted according to the new ratio.

}

Задача данной части кода - считывание информации из файла в вектор структур, изменение необходимой информации и запись ее обратно в файл. Однако измененная информация, почему-то, не записывается. В чем ошибка?

A: В функции void editInformation(work &worker) управление никогда не достигнет того места, где производится запись в файл, т.к. у Вас цикл выполняется бесконечно (либо до досрочного выхода из функции). А break (те что есть) действуют только на оператор switch внутри цикла.
Кстати, Вы принципиально игнорируете существование default случая во всех switch? Это может привести к неожиданным проблемам ;-) .

Q: Matrix Similar to an Upper Triangular with ones along the diagonal Assume $k$ is an algebraically closed field $V$ is $n$-dimensional $k$-vector space and $A \in M_n(k)$ is a $k$-endomorphism of $V$. Then it is true that $A$ is similar to an upper-triangular matrix $U$ i.e. there is an ordered $k$-basis $\mathcal{B}$ of $V$ such that $P^{-1}[A]_{\mathcal{B}}P=U$. Is it true though, that we can choose the matrix $U$ to have "ones" along its diagonal?
\begin{bmatrix}
    1 & * & ... & * \\
    0 & 1 & ... & * \\
    \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\
    0 & 0 & ... & 1
  \end{bmatrix}
Also given a finite family of $k$-endomorphisms of V, can we choose such a basis where all the endomorphisms with respect to that basis have the above form simultaneously?

A: Over an algebraically closed field, it is indeed true that every matrix can be triangularized. A more general condition would be that a matrix is triangularizable if and only if its minimal polynomial splits over the base field.
Now, the eigenvalues of any triangular matrix is precisely displayed on its diagonal. You are free to choose the ordering of these eigenvalues, but you may not change the eigenvalues themselves. So you are not free to make the diagonals of $U$ all $1$. The diagonal elements have to be the eigenvalues of $A$.
For your second question, you may know that a family of diagonalizable matrices is simultaneously diagonalizable if and only if they are a commuting family. This carries over (in part) to triangularizable matrices as well. A family of triangularizable matrices is simultaneously triangularizable if they are mutually commuting. So matrices commuting is a sufficient condition for simultaneous triangularization, but unlike the diagonalizable case, it is not longer necessary. I'm not aware of a useful necessary condition for the triangularizable case.


A cancer diagnosis is devastating but it isn't a death sentence (in most cases). Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, MPNs, are treatable and with self-care, the long-term impact on your daily life can be reduced. Taking care of your body and mind is essential to surviving and living well.
One of the worst things you can do is panic and make major decisions about your medical care. It's important to stay calm and take the time to digest your diagnosis. You will need to learn coping strategies and to do that you'll need to slow down, understand your options, process what it means and focus on living one day at a time.
Working out can give you energy, lift your mood, and keep your body strong. Of course, you may not always feel like it. If you can't exercise, consider stretching. In fact, just a few minutes of easy stretches can "activate your body's natural relaxation response." It works your muscles and your mind to release tension, ease pain and stiffness, and improve circulation. Walking is also highly recommended.
It can be difficult to completely wrap your head around how you feel upon being diagnosed with the "Big C." Keeping a journal can help you stay aware of your emotions so you can better manage your reactions to them. You don't have to write about your cancer in every entry – decide what you want to write about and jot down your thoughts.
Unfortunately, pain is part of the package. It's likely that you will be prescribed medications to help manage discomfort. Opioids, a type of painkiller commonly prescribed to cancer patients, are highly addictive and should be taken with care and on the schedule provided by your physician. Opioid abuse can be fatal, the side effects of dependency may be more damaging than the disease itself.
Diseases of the body (like cancer) may be caused by outside factors, such as smoking, drinking, or eating too many of the wrong types of food. Likewise, maintaining a healthy diet may prevent additional health conditions. Prevention's A Doctor's Quest To Heal His Own Cancer With Food goes into great detail regarding how certain types of nutrition can keep the body healthy and strong.
Your spiritual and emotional wellness is just as important as your physical health. If you go to church or synagogue, consider speaking with your congregation's elders for spiritual guidance. Also consider joining MPN Facebook support groups, which can help you connect with fellow patients. They can offer support, guidance and give you an opportunity to talk through your feelings.
In addition to taking time out to process your diagnosis, you should also make mindfulness a priority. Mindfulness is simply the practice of living in the moment and listening to your body, mind, and the world around you. There is no one way to practice mindfulness that works for everyone. You might sit in a quiet room and do controlled breathing exercises, listen to your favorite music, or simply decrease your everyday distractions.
Taking care of yourself with cancer is an ongoing task. So remember there are numerous methods of coping that you may find helpful. Try to take on your new life with a positive attitude.

Don't Knock Twice – The Review
September 30, 2019 · Mr. PSVR
When you take the horror genre and mix that with Virtual Reality, good things can happen. Don't Knock Twice from Wales Interactive takes a working formula with some very much appreciative controls and throw that into PlayStation VR, add some creepy sounds and watch as some good things happen.
In case you did not know, Don't Knock Twice is the VR companion to the movie of the same name which is based on a witch of the demonic nature that appears when you guessed it, knock twice on her door. When you first start out, you will find some small details such as notes and your cell phone that allows you to receive texts. This really comes in handy if you feel you are stuck and the text message kinda helps you in the right direction. I really like what was done here with the cell phone when it is not being used, it's at your waist and throughout the game, your cell phone goes off and with that little buzzing, can actually make fun jump scares that you were not expecting. And speaking of jump scares, there is this one (along with others) that will get you. I am not going to tell you where just appreciate what is presented.
The controls used in Don't Knock Twice are quite refreshing but with familiarity with them. To move around you teleport (which some may or may not like) but, it works really well and not once did I feel nauseous. But you know how sometimes when you play in Virtual Reality and if you drop your item, even though you try to reach for it, the camera may lose sight of you and you may not be able to pick up the item? Wales Interactive has solved this. If you drop an item, you press the button on the move controller to almost like a mini teleport light to the item and while holding the button, you are able to pick up the item. I can really say that I appreciated this on so many levels.
As you try to figure out what is going on, doors will slam shut and yet other doors are locked in the path you need to go. It's almost like some rooms have a life of their own. And the screams that you hear really do add to the life that is presented here. And sometimes you may be stuck in a room for a certain amount of time and no matter what you do, nothing seems to work. But then suddenly something unlocks and it almost has this ghostly presence just trying to have fun with you. But once you get that ax, feel free to let all your built up aggression out and use the house as your pallet for your new-found artistic abilities.
I don't want to spoil too much, but Don't Knock Twice does what it set out to do…have some fun, add some jump scares, and it gives you a 2 – 3 hour (depending on how you like to explore )immersive experience. And with Halloween being here before we know it, you never know what tricks will be played with this treat.
Don't Knock Twice is out now on PlayStation VR and is also available on the Oculus Store, Steam, and Viveport. A review code was provided.
To learn more about Wales Interactive, please visit their site, like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and subscribe to their Youtube channel.
In case you missed the trailer, please enjoy. Until next time, I am going back into the house and using the ax on whatever I can.
