Atlas V is an expendable launch system and the fifth major version in the Atlas launch vehicle family. It was originally designed by Lockheed Martin, now being operated by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Atlas V is also a major NASA launch vehicle. It is America's longest-serving active rocket. In August 2021, ULA announced that Atlas V would be retired, and all 29 remaining launches had been sold. As of 5 August 2022, 21 launches remain. Each Atlas V launch vehicle consists of two main stages. The first stage is powered by a Russian RD-180 engine manufactured by Energomash and burning kerosene and liquid oxygen. The Centaur upper stage is powered by one or two American RL10 engine manufactured by Aerojet Rocketdyne and burns liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Star 48 upper stage was used on the New Horizons mission as a third stage. Strap-on solid rocket boosters are used in most configurations.

I can't see what's the way to start. I have seen that if $\|T(x)\|=\|x\|$ then it's enough, is it?

Q: Dynamically load Images in React Native Semi-new to React Native and i'm having an issue...
I'm trying to require local images based on a variable (an ID stored in a JSON file), I can achieve this if I stored the images online somewhere and used the prop:
source:{uri: 'https://www.domian.com'+this.props.model.id'.png'} for example,  but obviously require needs just a single string so I can't pass it a variable?
I would just use a lengthy for each/if statement but there will be 100+ options for the image name. Which is another reason i'd rather have the images stored locally.
I've been trying a bunch of different ways but haven't found anything, is there any way around this?

A: The following works for me:
// our data
// we need to require all images,
// so that React Native knows about them statically
const items = [
    {
        id: '001',
        image: require('../images/001.jpeg'),
    },
    {
        id: '002',
        image: require('../images/002.jpeg'),
    },
];

// render
items.map( (item) =>
    <Image key={item.id} source={item.image} />
)

NB: This is based on @soutot's updated answer, but simplified. I don't think there is any need for a boolean.

A: AS per your comment and example you mentioned it is like :
imageId is JSON and your passing it using props. Is your baseurl same ? then you can achive single string like :
source:{uri: `https://www.domian.com/${this.props.model.id}.png`}

I hope this will work for you : here is example in which I receive part of url to images from different resources, similar to yours:
https://github.com/patilrevansidh/movidb/blob/master/src/modules/movie/detail/screen.js

A: According to the official docs, the recommendation is using conditional rendering to create the Image require which contains the correct URI path:
// GOOD
<Image source={require('./my-icon.png')} />;

// BAD
var icon = this.props.active ? 'my-icon-active' : 'my-icon-inactive';
<Image source={require('./' + icon + '.png')} />;

// GOOD
var icon = this.props.active
  ? require('./my-icon-active.png')
  : require('./my-icon-inactive.png');
<Image source={icon} />;

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/images.html
More about conditional rendering: https://reactjs.org/docs/conditional-rendering.html
Example using array (just example, may have typos):
const imgs = [
  {
   id: '001',
   require: require('../images/001.jpeg'),
  },
  {
   id: '002',
   require: require('../images/002.jpeg'),
  },
];

imgs.map((item, i) =>
item.id === '001' &&
<Image
  key={i}
  source={item.require}
/>)

Hope it helps

The case against Collan Rex' a former assistant water polo coach at Parktown Boys' High School' was postponed on Wednesday to next month - to the dismay of parents and child activists supporting them.
"The probation officer's report was not ready today [Wednesday]' so the case was postponed for it to be made available'" Gauteng education spokesperson Steve Mabona told SowetanLIVE.
Parktown Boys' High School's former assistant water polo coach Collan Rex' has been found guilty of assault and sexual assault.
"I am outraged regarding this postponement - everybody was ready to go ahead with sentence today and only the State social workers caused the delay'" said Rees Mann of South African Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse.
"Today would have been an important day in the healing process for these boys but now they will have to go home and suffer in silence for the next few weeks while Rex gets to go home'" Mann said in a statement.
Sentencing proceedings in the case involving the former assistant water polo coach of Parktown Boys High School has been postponed.
"The boys have had to endure three sets of interviews - their initial statements to SAPS and follow up Victim Impact statements and then were subjected to yet another' third set of interviews by State-appointed probation officers from the Department of Social Development' who did not compile their reports on time'" Lamprecht said.


PerSimiO develops a software product, based on 17 years of academic research, that accurately and automatically performs patient specific strength analysis of bones. This technology is first applied to the femur to assist orthopedic surgeons to determine necessity of prophylactic surgeries in patients with metastatic tumors, the risk of an osteoporotic fracture in elderly population and optimal implants, and propagation of multiple myeloma disease to assist hematologists in better controlling of the disease. Today's clinical practice does not provide any scientific information on bone strength but only "image analysis" which is a very poor surrogate for strength (does not account for the varying material properties and patient specific load). Thus, unnecessary and sub-optimal surgeries are performed, at the same time individuals at high risk of fracture are not properly identified, and medication is poorly subscribed. PerSimiO's proprietary software is based on deep learning methodology, big-data and finite element biomechanical simulation that uses standard clinical CT scans to automatically generate 3D, patient specific bone models and determine the accurate strength state. PerSimiO currently has three prototype applications that are undergoing clinical trials in three Israeli medical centers. To commercialize them, we are developing a fully automated system with the potential to perform thousands of analyses in parallel.
The technology was developed at the Ben-Gurion Unviersity and at our office in Beer-Sheva, and all of our employees (except one) live in the Negev.


A bear market is often defined as a 20% fall in stock prices within a year. The Shanghai Composite Index (SCI) achieved this in about a month and a half in 2007 as it slid from its mid-October peak of 6,092.06 points to 4,941.78 near the end of December. But this was a mere blip compared to the bull run that preceded it, the SCI gaining 124% between January and October.
By all accounts, the correction was partly government-induced. An embargo on new mutual funds put the brakes on institutional money, while a clampdown on bank lending helped curb free-spending retail players. But investors know such restrictions don't last forever and so remain positive about 2008.
But the journey is unlikely to be a smooth one. Lan Xue, head of China research at Citi, warns that inflationary pressures and Beijing's desire to rein in growth could take some of the momentum out of the A-share market and mainland-related stocks listed in Hong Kong.
Her top picks of H-shares and the red chips – Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies incorporated in the mainland and overseas respectively – are focused on the consumer sector. The likes of dairy firm Mengniu and department store operators InTime and Golden Eagle are expected to be buoyed by rising household spending. Telecom and infrastructure players are also tipped to do well.
The stars of 2007 – banking, insurance, commodity and property stocks – are deemed to have outperformed and could see their progress restricted by the tightening credit environment.
Meanwhile, Xue believes the impact of funds flowing into Hong Kong through the Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) scheme has been overstated. The money will still come – JPMorgan says Hong Kong will get a third of the US$90 billion in QDII funds that will leave China by the end of 2008 – but the effects may be muted.
"The Hong Kong market went up 20% in three months largely due to QDII, but the scheme is about allowing Chinese investors to diversify their holdings, not boost the Hong Kong market," Xue said.
Market watchers also have reservations about the H-share "through-train" scheme, which allows mainland residents to invest directly in Hong Kong stocks. It was announced with much fanfare by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange only to then be shelved amid rumors that the major financial regulators weren't properly consulted.
Fraser Howie, co-author of Privatizing China, notes that the through-train framework doesn't tally with the way in which Beijing normally operates.
As capital flows out of the mainland, Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies are set to continue moving back in by selling shares on mainland bourses. This is in keeping with Beijing's policy of increasing the supply of good quality stocks.
Listing candidates include H-shares such as China Coal, Zijin Mining and Great Wall Auto as well as red chips like China Mobile. However, some technical hurdles still have to be cleared if the red chips are to return.
As of mid-December, US$91.3 billion had been raised from 213 offerings on mainland bourses since the beginning of 2007. Thomson Financial was expecting a further 14 deals to push the full-year total to a world-leading US$99.1 billion. Sun believes this mainland momentum will continue into 2008 while Hong Kong serves a growing number of private sector firms, particularly real estate and consumer-focused players.
A major breakthrough for the A-share market could come with the introduction of stock index futures, which are tipped for launch in early 2008 after more than two years of discussion. The products are intended to allow investors to hedge their risk, and strict controls will be placed on price movements so the market doesn't become too volatile.
He has less faith in the market than most, arguing that strong liquidity pushing up prices that are already overinflated (the mainland's average price-to-equity ratio is 50 compared to 18 in Hong Kong) can only result in one thing.

Oh What A Night
114 yards from scrimmage the first time around last year against them and then another 124 the second time.
"Any place he gets in space, he's dangerous," said Parcells of Barber, the guy he claims to be one of the top "four or five players in the league."
And it's not just Barber, but fast-improving quarterback Eli Manning and wide receivers Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress and tight end Jeremy Shockey - the three guys who have been on the receiving end of nine of Manning's 11 touchdown passes.
Yeah, a big test.
This game, though, which promises to become the most-watched ESPN game if Chicago at Arizona last Monday night earned that distinction, deals with more than the Cowboys' identity crisis. There are some tangible reasons ballooning this game's importance.
Not only does the winner go to 4-2, meaning the Cowboys would have a two-game winning streak or the Giants would have a three-game winning streak, but of all things, now the winner also takes over the NFC East lead after the Philadelphia Eagles dropped a 23-21 decision Sunday to Tampa Bay when Matt Bryant hit a 62-yard game-winning field goal with four seconds remaining.
Imagine that, after all that hand-wringing following the Cowboys' 38-24 emotional loss in Philly, the Eagles (4-3) now are saddled with a two-game losing streak and the Cowboys, with a win Monday night, would be riding a two-game winning streak and leading the NFC East by a half-game.
Plus, with this NFC East race figuring to finish tiebreaker tight, the Cowboys first must hold serve at home in a division game, and second, can't afford to drop to 1-2 in division games, which would mean the Giants would speed off to 3-0 after the first round and only having to play Washington on the road the second time around.
There's more, too, these two teams embarking off on distinctly different paths of travel afterward: The Giants' next three games are at home while the Cowboys have the dreaded three-game road trip - Carolina, Washington, Arizona - something they have not had to deal with since late in the 1992 season. If they are not careful, they could lose touch with the Giants by time they face the bottom slice of this Manning Brothers sandwich, Indianapolis to come snooping around Texas Stadium on Nov. 19.
Yep, big game Monday night, indeed.
"The tension was high," Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe said in reference to the week following the Philadelphia game, "because we lost, and I don't know that the tension isn't high this week. I don't think anybody is taking their foot off the gas pedal."
Certainly not Parcells. With this being a Monday night game, adding an extra day to the week, Giants head coach Tom Coughlin gave his team an extra day off. Parcells had the Cowboys practice an extra day.
He also juggled his 53-man roster and practice squad, along with having tossed his hat into the trade market to no avail before Tuesday's deadline. Parcells is grinding, just the way he hopes his team will grind Monday night.
Oh, and how about this? With a game loaded with so much importance, it just so happens to be one for Monday Night Football, and judging from the TV ratings the past few weeks, that the NFL moved its primetime presentation from Monday to Sunday night MNF doesn't seem to have lost any of its previous luster.
ESPN's pre-game show originating out front Texas Stadium by the Tom Landry statue. The Dallas Cowboys Radio Network pre-game show out front, too. Nightfall creeping closer to kickoff with Daylight Savings Time about to expire. Nothing like that big-game buzz at The TS.
Oh what a night.
"I get excited for games like this the same way I did in high school," Bledsoe said with a certain gleam in his eye. "I get juiced."
That's good. The Cowboys will need all the juice they can squeeze out for this game, and Parcells seems convinced his team understands the importance and ramifications of this game with the Giants.
"They already know," said Parcells, reassuring anyone who might mistakenly be thinking this game is sneaking up on the Cowboys. "If you're not ready to play this game, you need a saliva test . . . you're dead."

1) create game to a given point – what i mean here is get your game working and up to a point where a demo could be put together, even if its just one level. This is optional, but if people can get hands on what your game is, the more connected they will feel.
2) get game registered over on IndieDB.com – this is a great place for people to find out about your game and since its a database of all indie games. Your's should be there too.
3) get awesome screenshots, and a trailer. the better you get them, the better your chances, not just for steam, but for journalists to take notice.
5) Create a landing page for your game. I created www.kidnapped-game.com. please review it for reference.
6) about 1 month before you put your game on steam greenlight send out the initial press release to gamespress.com. stating what the game is, specs and a write up about the story or game play.
7) wait a little while for peopl;e to hear aboyt the game and then register as a Greenlight developer (can be seen as pricey) and create your page.
8) Once the game is on Greenlight, send out another press release stating its now on Greenlight.
9) once complete, don't stop there, you will need to get the news to as many people as possible. I literally spent hours looking over indie game sites looking for contact information so i could also send them the press release.
You might be thinking, that's a lot of work just to get on Steam Greenlight. But hey, it worked, and it worked well. I learnt a lot from the experience and i suggest you all to give it a go, and give it your all. After all, if you want success, you need to push everything to its limit.
I really hope it can help some people get noticed.
And don't forget to add me on twitter @deceptive_games and @klarax.

V4, Austrian premiers discuss energy, EU funding and migration in Prague
16-01-2020 updated
Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and his Visegrad Four counterparts met in Prague on Thursday to discuss energy and climate change with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
The V4 summit attended by the Austrian chancellor focussed on energy and EU climate change policy, areas where the positions of Austria and the V4 (which includes Slovakia, Poland and Hungary) differ significantly.
Unlike Austria, the V4 countries say achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is not possible without building more nuclear power plants.Austria does not like the idea that EU money paid to help phase-out coal mining and boost alternate energy sources should be used for nuclear power.
PM Babiš argues that in the interests of "energy security" and ecomomic growth, the Czech Republic must build new nuclear units even if it contravenes European Union law.
The talks also covered EU funding and migration where the heads of government found more common ground.They agreed on the need to fight illegal migration,rejected the idea of obligatory migrant quotas and stressed the importance of defending the EU's outer borders.
Since the talks were held on the anniversary of the death of student martyr Jan Palach, the prime ministers laid flowers at the Palach memorial at the top end of Wenceslas Square where Palach set himself on fire in protest against growing public apathy to the Soviet-led invasion.
Czechs pay homage to student martyr Jan Palach
Daniela Lazarová
Czechs have been marking the 51st anniversary of the self-immolation of Prague university student Jan Palach, who set himself alight in protest at apathy in the face of the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. A memorial ceremony was held in Palach's hometown of Všetaty, in Central Bohemia, where his childhood home recently became a museum in his honour, as well as in towns and cities around the country many of which have squares or streets named in his honour.
Czechs commemorate student martyr Jan Palach's self-immolation
Czechs are marking the 51st anniversary of the self-immolation of Prague university student Jan Palach, who set himself alight in protest at apathy in the face of the Soviet occupation.
Memorial ceremonies have been held in Palach's Central Bohemian hometown of Všetaty, where his childhood home recently became a museum in his honour, and towns and cities around the country.
In Prague people have gathered to pay homage to his memory on Wenceslas Square where he set himself alight, at Charles University, where he studied, and at Olsany Cemetery where he is buried.
Jan Palach died in agony on January 19, three days after setting himself on fire. Some 200,000 people turned out for his funeral. In death, he would become known as "the conscience of the nation".
Cinematographer Smutný: I shot footage of Palach in hospital bed

The leading Czech cinematographer Vladimír Smutný says he is the person who shot the only known footage of Jan Palach in his hospital bed, shortly before his death. He made the comment in an interview for news site DVTV, saying he had never before revealed that he was the author of the film shot between Palach's self-immolation in January 1969 and death several days later.
Mr. Smutný is a seven-time winner of the Czech Lion award and has worked on numerous well-known Czech films, including the recently released The Painted Bird by Václav Marhoul.
Czech Radio building among new national cultural monuments sites symbolising the struggle for freedom
Ahead of the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, the Ministry of Culture will designate seven sites as 'national cultural monuments'. All of them are tied to the Czech nation's struggle to secure freedom or rid itself of Nazi or Soviet oppression. Among them is the Czech Radio building in Prague, a focal point of resistance both in 1968 and at the close of WWII.
Jan Palach Memorial opens in Všetaty
Tom McEnchroe
The National Museum opened its new memorial to Jan Palach, the student who protested the passivity of his countrymen following the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 by self-immolation, in Všetaty on Wednesday. The house which Jan Palach grew up in, in the Central Bohemian village, has now been converted into a memorial featuring a multimedia exposition. The opening ceremony was attended by the minister of culture and Cardinal Dominik Duka.
The building was bought by the National Museum in 2014, but work on the memorial only began last year.
Jan Zajíc – the story of "human torch number two"
On February 25 1969, exactly one month after Jan Palach, another man set himself alight in protest to Czechoslovak apathy following the Soviet invasion of 1968. The name of the second human torch was Jan Zajíc, a high school student from Šumperk. Fifty years on his act still brings chills of shock, but also respect among Czechs.
Travelling exhibition recalls self-immolation of Jan Zajíc
A travelling exhibition on the life and legacy of Jan Zajíc, who set himself on fire to protest against growing public apathy to the Soviet led-invasion in 1968, opened in his home town of Vítkov on Friday.
Zajíc set himself on fire in a passage off Wenceslas Square on February 25th 1969, close to the place where student Jan Palach made the ultimate sacrifice in an effort to rouse the nation a month earlier.
Zajíc, who felt that further protest actions were needed, set himself on fire on the 21st anniversary of the communist putsch in 1948.
The exhibition of texts and photographs reflecting his life and legacy will travel around the country in the coming months.
Czech Film Critics' Award for Best Film goes to drama Jan Palach
Robert Sedláček's film Jan Palach took the Czech Film Critics' Award for Best Film at a gala event at Prague's Archa Theatre on Saturday night. The film tells the true-life-story of a student who in 1989 took his own life in protest of growing public apathy to the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia.
The director's award went to Olmo Omerzu for his road movie Všechno bude / Winter Flies and Best Screenplay went to Lucie Bokšteflová's comedy Chata na prodej/Country-house for sale.
Otakar Dušek: the medallic artist behind Prague's illegal Jan Palach / Josef Toufar mural
Otakar Dušek is a designer and artist with a passion for history and historical justice – something he hopes to instil in his students at the prestigious Václav Hollar School of Art in Prague. That passion helped propel him from a teacher of graphic design, fonts and computer graphics to world renowned medallist – an artist specialising in commemorative medals.


There's a film that I've been hoping would turn up sometime, somewhere.
But so far no such luck.
lines. Anyone have some info on this?
According to BBC Genome, it appears to have been transmitted twice on BBC2 in 1974 - assuming it is indeed the same production (cast and director match up), whether made for cinemas or TV.
originally planned to premiere on television, followed by a theatrical release.
The BFI list it as a 1972 film, and it was passed by the the BBFC with an AA Certificate in March 1973. I suspect it was a very limited release as in those days films usually had to wait several years (most often five years) before TV broadcast. The imdb 1976 date presumably only applied to the long-delayed US release.
of its existence if only because they put up a reference page for it.
ALPHA BETA was a ferocious two-handed play charting the decade-long collapse of a working class infatuation; one of a number of such plays by Ted Whitehead, who later adapted LIFE AND LOVES OF A SHE-DEVIL for TV.
The film ran under 75 minutes, and was an awkward sell both for its length and the brutal marital brawls it depicted. Superb direction by Page, with much handheld camera following the prowling, trapped, sour, bitter couple in their tiny flat. Portrayed by Finney and the tortured Rachel Roberts, it left the viewer (this one anyway) wrung out and not seeking a minute more of the physical and psychological violence.
It was shown in Australia around 1973 on a double-bill with a revival of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, of all things, perhaps because of the theatrical nature of the pair.
It turned up once on late-night commercial TV in Australia in the early 80s, absurdly laced with adverts, and I treasure my digital cleanup of the battered VHS.
It would be a standout Flipside release, hopefully with Finney and Page's participation.
Just 66 according to the BBFC - who also give the distributor as Memorial Enterprises, so it seems the production company self-distributed it, though how much of a UK cinema release it had before turning up on TV I don't know.
I remember it turning up on TV, though I didn't see it, and wasn't old enough to see it in 1974 in any case. The Times's television listing for the first showing on 1.1.1974 calls it a play rather than a film, so maybe it bypassed British cinemas altogether? EDIT: and it appears it did. Finney is interviewed in The Times on 19.1.74 and says this about his acting on television: "Not since 1958 when I did EMERGENCY WARD 10. The recent ALPHA BETA on BBC2 wasn't really a television [sic] at all...we made it on location as a film."
JSC wrote: But also, I think I'm correct in saying it's the only other time that Finney and Roberts appeared together after Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, twelve years before.
They also co-starred in MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS in 1974. I, too, would love to see ALPHA BETA once again - anything with Roberts is to be treasured.
That's true, I totally forgot about that!
Not so much a lost film, but fragments of such and of some screen tests, discovered being recycled as leaders for other films in the BFI National Archive. All in two-strip Technicolor, and including a brief shot of Louise Brooks dancing, from her debut film The American Venus (1925), which is otherwise lost.
The BFI have put up an eight-minute compilation here, with a voiceover by Bryony Dixon.
The Nest of the Cuckoo Birds. It already played on MUBI in November.
Jeff Wells (not that one) finds Adelphi's 1953 The Tell-Tale Heart.
Another, though incomplete, Oswald cartoon is found, "Neck 'n' Neck" (1928). Six are left. Kind of amazing how Disney went from almost nothing to almost everything in a decade or so.
There is a screening in Helsinki on November 26th with Nikolai Izvolov who reconstructed the film in attendance.
415 Danish silent films are being digitized thanks to private funding (and some state support). At least 50 films or so have never been shown since their premieres 100 years ago. The total playing time is supposedly over 300 hours. All films will eventually be shown theatrically (Cinemateket, I imagine) and also avaialable for free online (streaming). I can't fint a link to the original press release from The Danish Film Institute but it's mentioned in an article from the Danish Radio (in Danish). There was some talk about it on tv yesterday, and I think they mentioned a 5 year timeframe before they're finished.
This only just crossed my radar, although the film showed at Pordenone a few months ago: a lost feature by Victor Sjöström from 1915, Judaspengar aka The Price of Betrayal, was discovered at the Bois d'Arcy—a Swiss print missing only a bit of censored footage—and restored by the CNC and the Swedish Film Institute.
This seems particularly important to me because as far as I know, all of Sjöström's work as a director between the masterpiece Ingeborg Holm in 1913 and The Sea Vultures in 1916 had been deemed lost. Sjöström's work before this period is typified by the "tableau style" of filmmaking, while his films after, like Terje Vigen and especially The Outlaw and His Wife, feature a lot of very sophisticated editing and scene dissection. So it'll be interesting to see whether Judaspengar represents a transition between those very different approaches. And of course, it's also important because Sjöström is simply one of the most talented directors to ever work in cinema, and from 1917 to 1921 or so he was probably the greatest director in the world.
Has anyone here happened to see it at Pordenone or elsewhere?
I know that crazy lost treasures have been found off of Ebay, but does anybody else see listings like this one and wonder if there's that chance it could be a reel of something important?
Could be. Could also be the second reel from Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
This is pretty stupid - look at the photo, you can make out the content within the film frames, but they're too far away. He could have easily snapped some close-up photos rather than leave things as a mystery.

Redeeming the Pirate
A Pirates and Petticoats Novel
by Chloe Flowers
Genre: Women's Action & Adventure Historical Romance
15% PROFITS FUND BREAST CANCER FUNDING @NBCF
He steals for the French crown.She heals for the Catholic church
He will heal her heart.She will steal his.
French Privateer, Captain Drago Gamponetti is given one final mission from his employer, the king of France: reclaim religious relics from a New Orleans cathedral and bring them back. Trouble begins when he's forced by a mysterious, veiled, novitiate nun to swear on the Bible to protect the very items he was instructed to steal.
Worse, 60 British warships have amassed in Negril Bay, Jamaica, preparing to attack New Orleans. He must retrieve the sacred relics before the British arrive and seize the city.
Novitiate nun and healer, Eva Trudeau has secrets, and hides more than her face behind the veil. The convent has been her safe haven since she crawled, beaten and bloody, to its door nine years ago. When an old enemy re-surfaces and threatens to drag her back into the dark underworld from where she'd escaped, both she and her dark pirate captain stand to lose everything they've fought so hard to protect...including each other.
Either commit treason or betray the woman he secretly loves. Betraying one sends him to the guillotine, the other straight to hell.
This series is about spirited, independent women and rakish bad boy pirates, wrapped up in women's action and adventure sea stories. If you enjoy romantic action and adventure, action and action and adventure romance fiction, historical romance or women's fiction, you'll love the Pirates & Petticoats series.
Goodreads * Amazon
~Award-Winning Author~ Chloe Flowers writes historical women's action and adventure romance novels about scoundrels, pirates, and spunky, independent heroines. She likes to challenge her characters by tossing them the middle of actual historical events, or with real historical characters.
Chloe is a member of the Romance Writers of America, Northeast Ohio Romance Writers and The Beau Monde Romance Writers group, where she serves as secretary. In 2011, she formed the Sunshine Critique Group so that she and other aspiring authors could motivate and challenge each other to become better writers. Six members have been published. She has given workshops and presentations on creating a critique group, how to provide effective critiques, story structure, and self-publishing lessons to writers groups, library patrons and children. In 2014, she started her own small publishing company, Flowers & Fullerton. Currently, she's the publisher of record for authors Sheridan Jeane, H.O. Knight as well as herself.
Whether it's dancing naked in a downpour at 3AM, zip-lining in a rainforest, or racing ponies, Chloe's always looking for the next adventure. Her pets have always been named after favorite characters or action heroes: Indiana, Luke, Gimli, Thelma, Rocket, Forrest, Al Giordino, Severus, Mushu, Mérida, Gibbs, Jack…Dead Pool (he's a goldfish).
Chloe's biggest fault is her apparent inability to say "no" whether it's in response to a call for aid or a double-dog-dare to hike home through 30 acres of a snow-covered forest at midnight…during a full moon. It was early morning during said adventure when she came upon a group of sheriff's deputies searching for a lost girl. So, of course she offered to help. Turns out, they were searching for her.
In addition to her addiction to adrenaline, she has a weakness for good red wine, dark chocolate and brown-eyed guys with beards, which is probably why she digs pirates and treasure hunters and writes about action and adventure, pirates and romance (which is the greatest adventure of all).

Thanks for your note. And for your kind comments about my book.
Cross training is an interesting topic. Many do it who have "health" goals instead of "performance" goals. It's great for health in part because the variety makes for high motivation and since many who are focused only on health are limited by lack of motivation for such a vague goal.
In answering your question I'm assuming that you are quite serious about cycling, as your email suggests, and that performance is your primary focus. If that's the case then in order to reap a benefit from cross training the other activity you choose must overlap considerably with the physiological demands of cycling to prove beneficial. There are two broad categories for these demands—cardiorespiarory fitness and muscular fitness. Essentially, any mainstream endurance sport (swimming, running, cross country skiing, etc) will benefit the heart and lungs. This is actually not much of a challenge. The muscular system is a big challenge. If you're not using the muscles in the same way they are used when on the bike then there is no significant muscular benefit. It may even be a waste of training time for achieving a high performance goal. For example, while you may use your legs quite a bit while running, the two movements are not even close in terms of the muscles. One relies on eccentric contractions of the calf muscles primarily (run) while the other calls for a great deal of concentric contraction from the quads primarily (bike). One of the best cross training activities for cycling has been shown in research to be weight lifting—especially heavy loads with low reps. But even then the movement must simulate cycling. Doing curls or even knee extensions won't be of much benefit. Compound (multi-joint) strength-building exercises such as squats, step ups, and lunges come quite close to replicating the muscle activity on a bike.
The other issue is periodization. When should you do cross training activities and to what extent? There's nothing in the way of research I've seen on this. My 35 years of experience as a coach and athlete tells me, however, that the closer you get to a targeted event, the more like the event your training must become. So the other side of this coin is that the farther away in time your event is, the less like the event your training can be. All of this suggests that cross training is best done many weeks and even months before the event. In common periodization-speak that would be the "base" period. But in the "build" period (last 12 or so weeks leading up to the event) you should make your training increasingly like the demands of the event. That implies cutting back on cross training in the build period. How much you do of it is determined by how lofty your performance goals are. For example, I can guarantee you that you won't see a pro Tour de France GC contender running, swimming, or XC skiing in the last few weeks before the event starts. It would have to be an extremely unusual circumstance (perhaps an injury that precludes riding) for that to happen. And it would be a sure death knell for his race performance with such a lofty goal.
So bottom line is, some cross training is ok, especially well in advance of a high-goal event, but less so in the final few weeks.

On January 1st, 2019 the "Environmental Sanitation Law" tax, which is paid in the establishment, became effective. The Municipal Administration has set the tax at 24.18 Mexican pesos per room and day of each stay (as a reference, approximately 1.23 USD according to the official exchange rate on January 4th, 2019). It is paid directly by the guest on the day of check-in, with the establishment acting simply as an intermediary tax collector between the guest and the municipality.


I am retiring from The Navigators.
Last October I began dating the pastor of a nearby Baptist church. I was taken with him immediately. I confess this rather surprised me. Over the past eight months, Bob and I have had the great delight of falling in love, and we are planning to be married in October. I cannot wait! He is the best man I know. If you would like more details (we have a pretty silly engagement story), feel free to email or call!
About that same time I began a process of exploring my calling and vocation. A certain restlessness was nagging at me, and I felt I needed to take some time to evaluate the direction I was headed. If I was to continue my career with The Navigators, I wanted to be sure of God's leading. If I was to pursue something new, I wanted to discover that now, rather than to wait and feel any kind of regret. After much prayer and discussion I feel that the Lord is inviting me to something new, and I plan to resign from The Navigators as of August 31.
I have loved ministering to college students these past ten years. What a privilege it has been to have a front row seat watching my student friends' lives transform as they encountered Jesus in a real and vital way. I will miss this tremendously, but I am so eager to discover what (apart from marrying Bob!) my future holds.
To close this chapter with The Navigators well I would like to make sure that God is honored even in the accounting. With 53 days left, I anticipate a shortfall of $ 2,500 in my account with The Navigators. Would you prayerfully consider helping me begin the next steps of my journey well with an ending gift? Thank you for being a partner with me in the past and to the very end! We've made a difference!


On behalf of the Lausanne family in Japan and the Japanese Church, I would like to express our deep gratitude for all the messages from and the loving support of our friends all over the world, since the Great East Japan Earthquake hit on March 11. We are particularly grateful for the statement by Lindsay Brown, Lausanne Movement International Director, promptly issued on March 12.
While we are only beginning to see the degree of devastation, we feel strongly encouraged by the unprecedented level of eagerness among the Japanese Church to network and to share information for concerted relief efforts. As we, the Japan Lausanne Committee (JLC), together with some forty Cape Town 2010 (CT2010) delegates from Japan, already have a strong network which covers the majority of evangelical churches in Japan, we stand in a strategic position to serve.
JLC fully supports the relief work of the Japan Evangelical Association (JEA). Please note that the Relief Commission of JEA is chaired by a JLC member. JEA has been working closely with the Christian Relief, Assistance, Support and Hope Japan (CRASH). Japan Evangelical Missionary Association (JEMA) has been taking donations for CRASH. A number of JLC/CT2010 members are directly involved in CRASH and/or JEMA. We are so thankful for the overwhelming number of offers of help and donations from around the world.
Please pray that the Japanese Church may be united in disaster relief. Pray that the love of Christ will be clearly demonstrated through words and deeds of Christians. Pray that help will come quickly to the thousands still missing.
We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Heb. 12:28). Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 8:39).

The Syllabus for Aptitude Test for Capgemini 2019 is given on this post and will cover everything that you need to know about Capgemini Placement Preparation and clear it, find all the Capgemini Aptitude Topics for Written Test.
Questions asked in CapGemini test previously can be found out on our website.
Note – There is no negative marking in the exam.
If results are in GPA format then convert to percentage using the formula given by your college.
Quants: There were questions on Data Interpretation, speed, and distance, boat and stream, etc. This section was bit hard because the time limit was 50 minutes shared with logical section and the questions were little tough to solve.
Pseudo Code: This section contained questions on C, C++, OOPS concepts, Data Structures & Algorithm. The time limit for this section was 20 minutes. I scored well in this section because my technical skills are strong. I had checked a website where they said only predicting output and code correction etc will be there.
In this round, the students were divided into groups, and a topic was assigned. Topics were related to happening in and around you. In this round, the interviewer expected the students to give valid and relevant points.
This round was conducted to check our interpersonal skills. I was confident about my selection as I have good communication skills. Eventually, when the result was announced, I was called for the last round.
The technical interview was elaborative. The interviewer glanced through my marksheets and started asking questions from every subject. Some in detail and some in an overview fashion. I was asked about the subject that I considered to be my strength.
Obviously, a few in-depth questions related to that subject were asked. Then, I was asked about the projects that I had done in the past. I remember he went deep into microcontrollers, signals and system.
What is the biggest achievement of your life?

Q: Returning incorrect logical from is.nan I am analyzing microarray data from a publicly available database, and my output is a log-ratio matrix comparing experimental data to controls. I have discovered that one of my columns is populated with NaN values due to the fact that this treatment does not have a corresponding control. My data frame's (fc_initial) dimensions are 9049 x 647.
> dim(fc_initial)
[1] 9049  647

the column that is populated by NaN is the 580th column
head(fc_initial[,580])
# [1] NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN

summary(is.nan(fc_initial[,580]))
#    Mode    TRUE    NA's
# logical    9049       0

When I try to examine this for all columns using apply, R incorrectly returns all FALSE for this column.
fc_num <- apply(fc_initial, 2, is.nan)
summary(fc_num[ ,580])
#    Mode   FALSE    NA's
# logical    9049       0

I have visually confirmed this using view for both fc_initial and fc_num, and I have double checked that I am looking for the right column using which().
which(fc_num, arr.ind = TRUE)
#  row col

which returns no cells showing as TRUE.
What am I missing? Why is R returning a column of FALSE for a column of values I have visually confirmed to be TRUE?

A: When calling apply, the dataframe is coerced to a matrix. If there are any character columns, the whole dataframe is coerced to a character matrix and all NaN are converted to NA
df_1 <- data.frame(a=c("a","b","c"), b=c(NaN, NaN,NaN))
df_2 <- data.frame(a=c(1,2,3), b=c(NaN, NaN,NaN))

as.matrix(df_1)

     a   b
[1,] "a" NA
[2,] "b" NA
[3,] "c" NA

as.matrix(df_2)
     a   b
[1,] 1 NaN
[2,] 2 NaN
[3,] 3 NaN

A: Improvising on @cactusWoman and @joran comment:
## this gives count of nan's by column for your data.frame
sapply(fc_initial, function(y) sum(length(which(is.nan(y)))))

Q: Issue with loading Parquet data into Snowflake Cloud Database when written with v1.11.0 I am new to Snowflake, but my company has been using it successfully.
Parquet files are currently being written with an existing Avro Schema, using Java parquet-avro v1.10.1.
I have been updating the dependencies in order to use latest Avro, and part of that bumped Parquet to 1.11.0.
The Avro Schema is unchanged. However when using the COPY INTO Snowflake command, I receive a LOAD FAILED with error: Error parsing the parquet file: Logical type Null can not be applied to group node but no other error details :(
The problem is that there are no null columns in the files.
I've cut the Avro schema down, and found that the presence of a MAP type in the Avro schema is causing the issue.
The field is
    {
      "name": "FeatureAmounts",
      "type": {
        "type": "map",
        "values": "records.MoneyDecimal"
      }
    }

An example of the Parquet schema using parquet-tools.
message record.ResponseRecord {
  required binary GroupId (STRING);
  required int64 EntryTime (TIMESTAMP(MILLIS,true));
  required int64 HandlingDuration;
  required binary Id (STRING);
  optional binary ResponseId (STRING);
  required binary RequestId (STRING);
  optional fixed_len_byte_array(12) CostInUSD (DECIMAL(28,15));
  required group FeatureAmounts (MAP) {
    repeated group map (MAP_KEY_VALUE) {
      required binary key (STRING);
      required fixed_len_byte_array(12) value (DECIMAL(28,15));
    }
  }
}

The 2 files I have, written in parquet 1.10.1 and 1.11.0 output this identical schema.
I have also tried with a bigger schema example, and it appears everything works fine if there is no "map" avro type present in the schema. I have other massive files with huge schemas, many union types that convert to groups in parquet, but all are written and read successfully when they don't contain any "map" types.
But as soon as I add back the "map" type then I get that weird error message from Snowflake when trying to ingest the 1.11.0 version (however 1.10.1 version will load successfully). But parquet-tools with 1.11.0, 1.10.1 etc can still read the files.
I understand that from this comment that there are changes to the Logical Types in Parquet 1.11.0, but that it is supposed to be compatibile still for old versions to read.
But does anyone know what version of Parquet is used by Snowflake to parse these files? Is there something else that could be going on here?
Appreciate any assistance

A:
Logical type Null can not be applied to group node

Looking up the error above, it appears that a version of Apache Arrow's parquet libraries is being used to read the file.
However, looking closer, the real problem lies in the use of legacy types within the Avro based Parquet Writer implementation (the following assumes Java was used to write the files).
The new logicalTypes schema metadata introduced in Parquet defines many types including a singular MAP type. Historically, the former convertedTypes schema field supported use of MAP AND MAP_KEY_VALUE for legacy readers. The new writers that use logicalTypes (1.11.0+) should not be using the legacy map type anymore, but work hasn't been done yet to update the Avro to Parquet schema conversions to drop the MAP_KEY_VALUE types entirely.
As a result, the schema field for MAP_KEY_VALUE gets written out with an UNKNOWN value of logicalType, which trips up Arrow's implementation that only understands logicalType values of MAP and LIST (understandably).
Consider logging this as a bug against the Apache Parquet project to update their Avro writers to stop nesting the legacy MAP_KEY_VALUE type when transforming an Avro schema to a Parquet one. It should've ideally been done as part of PARQUET-1410.
Unfortunately this is hard-coded behaviour and there are no configuration options that influence map-types that can aid in producing a correct file for Apache Arrow (and for Snowflake by extension). You'll need to use an older version of the writer until a proper fix is released by the Apache Parquet developers.

Buhari orders Army, Navy, others to source uniforms locally
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin Emefiele has met with Service Chiefs and Heads of Paramilitary agencies to enforce Executive Order 003 mandating all Ministries Departments and Agencies to source their textile needs locally.
Speaking at the meeting on Thursday Emefiele said the apex bank now enjoys President Muhammadu Buhari's support in its efforts to revive the Cotton, Textiles and Garment (CTG) sector.
According to Emefiele, "we have the mandate of Mr. President to ensure that all uniformed services and theatre wears in hospitals and medical facilities be sourced locally from the Nigerian CTG sector. "
To see that the Presidential Order is enforced, he said "the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) has been notified to enforce compliance among MDAs."
"Our model in achieving this presidential directive is to facilitate long term contracts (five years or more) with our textile and garment factories to produce uniforms for our armed forces and uniform services using local fabrics and textile materials. We are not naive of the fact that the nature of your jobs will warrant special quality and security around the production of your wares. My team will work with your nominees toward ensuring requisite quality and security associated with your uniforms. Your nominees will also join our team to inspect the various textiles and garment factories to ensure their readiness to be engaged on long term contracts to forestall breaches," he said.
He added that the CBN will "work out payment terms that fit budget releases for uniforms for various organisations."
Emefiele noted that the priority placed on the CTG sector was hinged on the belief that "it has the capacity to transform Nigeria's rural economy and revive the textile and garment industries by creating over two million jobs, improve internal revenue across three tiers of government, and reduce $4 billion import bill incurred annually on textile and apparel."
He said the CTG sector "has the potential to safeguard and earn foreign exchange and ultimately accelerate industrial development by making Nigeria a global player in the textile and apparel sectors."
According to Emefiele, "we analysed the huge potentials that exists in the sector, identified the challenges militating against the sector's contribution to Nigeria's growth and development and presented quick wins for reviving the sector. Crucial to this resolve is the call for patriotism and the need to support local manufacturers of textile through patronage by MDAs as entrenched in Executive Order 003."
He then announced that "Mr. President has directed full compliance with this Order as it will help in addressing the pressure on our foreign reserves through demands for forex for the importation of textile and clothing materials."
Emefiele said "based on the CBN's interactions with stakeholders, it was revealed that MDAs have not made any significant order for uniforms or clothing materials from Nigerian textile manufacturers and garment companies.
He said the governments' efforts at resuscitating the textile industry would not be actualized if they are not supported through local patronage among other incentives.
With regards to the primary source of CTG cotton, Emefiele said the CBN has "put in place necessary mechanisms to ensure use of high yielding varieties that will produce top quality fabrics and those that can compete in the international market.
"We have also observed that our textile factories are carrying huge quantities of unsold stock while our garment factories are idle due to lack of local patronage. We are optimistic that with your support, this trend can be reversed.

Tales of the Riverbank, usually referred to as Hammy Hamster, was a British children's television show by the BBC. First aired in 1960, in 13 black and white episodes. But the stand-out episodes for most people are the colour versions which were actually named Hammy Hamster's Adventures On the Riverbank (1972), and voiced by Johnny Morris. But were shown on ITV as the BBC had developed a weird policy of not using human voices for live animals!
The characters included Hammy Hamster (my first hamster was called after him), Roderick the Water Rat, G.P. the Guinea Pig, among many others. As they were real live animals, the producers at the Isle of Wight studios where the series were made, released the animals into the wild at end of filming in 1973. The rats, hamsters and other animals died not long after release, but the Mongolian Gerbils survived for at least three years, the colony reaching around 100.
