Catherine Peter has devoted her life to looking after others. Working as a nurse at the Royal Adelaide, Queen Elizabeth and Lyell McEwin hospitals for nearly 30 years, she's always supported those who have needed it most.
In February 2011, the tables turned for Catherine when she found a lump on her breast and was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Catherine was right. After persisting with doctors, scans found cancerous cells which resulted in a full mastectomy of her right breast and heavy chemotherapy treatment. Catherine's journey was not over when tests found she carried the hereditary BRCA1 gene – the Breast Cancer gene.
In October 2011, Catherine successfully finished her treatment for her initial diagnosis and began preventative surgeries for the BRCA1 gene. She underwent a mastectomy on her other breast and a full hysterectomy due to the gene's link with ovarian cancer.
Wanting to share her breast cancer experience further, Catherine began her role as a Breast Cancer Network Australia Community Liaison to not only give hope to other breast cancer patients, but in the hope of saving someone's life.
Catherine says her story has already encouraged those close to her to receive checks and raise awareness on the possibility of early detection.
Catherine now uses her job as an opportunity to speak to nurses and doctors about her breast cancer experience, highlighting what it's like from the other side – as a patient. In June, she presented her speech My Experience – The Other Side of the Bedat the Day Surgery Nurse Association conference.
Earlier this year, Catherine and her family attended the Breast Cancer Network Australia's Field of Women event at the Melbourne Cricket Ground where they stood on the oval alongside 18,000 others to represent the number of Australians diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
This year, Catherine will be continuing her work as a Community Liaison by organising fundraising events and presenting speeches. She's also working on developing a group exercise program at the Lyell McEwin hospital, after hearing about the benefits of exercise during cancer treatment. She hopes the program will help patients through the side effects of chemotherapy.
When it comes to advice, Catherine says it's important to remember that every breast cancer patient's journey will be different. She says patients should do what feels right for them.

A note from the editor: Amy Northcott was a finalist in our yearly competition for final-year students from the University of South Australia School Of Creative Industries to enter a piece to be featured in Fritz. This year, we have chosen three finalists whose stories we will be publishing online. Each were asked to write a feature piece on a 'local hero'.
Stay tuned for our other two stories, and congratulations to all students who wrote pieces for the competition. We're so proud and excited to support and encourage young writers in South Australia.


It's pretty easy to injure yourself when running if you're not careful. One of the more common injuries comes from working too hard, and health blog Greatist suggests the best way to keep that from happening is to make mileage gains gradually.
To reduce wear and tear, never up mileage by more than 10 percent each week. A sudden increase in distance can put too much pressure on the joints, bones, and muscles. If training for a distance event, gradually add miles so the body has time to adjust to the extra workload. Plus, pencil in plenty of days for rest and low-impact workouts.
It's a pretty simple idea, but one that's important to keep in mind. If you need some help tracking exactly how far 10% is, any of these smartphone running apps should do the trick.

Our data collection policies with regard to current and future services allow you to choose how much information you provide to us, and to control how we use that information. Read below to find out more.
The Internet is rapidly changing the way we communicate and interact with each other. While the Internet allows us access to a greater array of information and services than has ever been available, these new online activities do raise new challenges, such as the privacy issues addressed in this policy. Having a relationship with our customers that is founded on trust is not only good manners, it is also good business. Any feedback you'd like to provide to help us better meet your expectations in this arena is welcomed. PhotoEventPlus wants to make your online experience satisfying and safe. Our goal is to provide you with a robust online experience while allowing you to control your privacy. PhotoEventPlus collects information online primarily to make it easier and more rewarding for you to use our services. We request information from you in order to provide our strongest value to you - a personalized online experience. Customers who personalize our service come back more often - and it's the customers that visit us often who make us successful - so we do everything we can to make PhotoEventPlus your service with your name on it and to give you just the content you want.
Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that is unique to you, such as your name or email address. In many cases we need this information to provide the personalized or enhanced service that you have requested. An example of the use of such information would be the PhotoEventPlus eCards. We hope that, like many of our customers, you will find it beneficial to judiciously provide Personally Identifiable Information to PhotoEventPlus so that we may provide more valuable content and products to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you register as a user on our site. In other words, we will know Personally Identifiable Information about you only if you choose to share this type of information with us. Depending on the service you are accessing, you could be asked at various times to provide information such as your name, email address, or information about what you like and do not like. On other occasions such as when we provide items for purchase online, we may request your credit card number to conclude the transaction, or your mailing address to ensure proper delivery.
Like you, we at PhotoEventPlus have children of our own and are concerned about their safety when they use the Internet. We want you and your family to be safe while visiting PhotoEventPlus. That is why we have established a special policy with regard to the use of our services by children. The Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) requires that service providers never knowingly request Personally Identifiable Information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting verifiable parental consent. In accordance with COPPA, PhotoEventPlus does not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. No one under the age of 15 should submit any Personally Identifiable Information to our Site. In the event that PhotoEventPlus determines that a user of this site is under the age of 13, PhotoEventPlus will not maintain or use his or her Personally Identifiable Information. To ensure children's privacy, we urge parents and guardians to spend time online with their children to become familiar with the types of content available on the Internet. Control tools are available on the Internet from online services and software manufacturers to help create a safer environment for children.

Good morning and a warm welcome to all. If you are visiting with us we would love to get to know you. Please feel free to stay for a hot drink after the service.
This week I would like to draw your attention to home groups and the important role they have in our church family. Home groups are about relationship and mission. They help us to grow as a community of faith. As we share in home groups we connect with each other, God and the world around us. These three aspects of relationship are central to our mission, resulting from the good news of Jesus' love for us.
We use the phrase 'Loving God, his people and his world' to describe our purpose here at St Barnabas church. This is also our focus for each of our home groups. Home groups are a core part of loving one another and they are also a core part of our mission to the world around us. Are you part of one? If not, I invite you to join a home group. We have a number of different groups that meet at varying times at locations within Stoke, Richmond and Nelson. Some of our groups have particular focus such as the mother's group and the men's home group.
Over the next few months I am going to take a couple of moments during services to share some information about our current home group leaders and the general focus of each home group. If you are not part of a home group and are interested in joining one, please come and talk to me and we will try and find a group that suits you.
In John 13:35 Jesus says to his disciples: 'By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another' (as I have loved you –v34). There is deep connection made in scripture between loving relationship and the mission of God in the world. We are called to share our faith with each other.
When we meet together in groups which help us grow our relationship with God, we get drawn into to loving each other as he loves us, simultaneously, we reach out beyond ourselves sharing the news of this love we have received with those people in the world around us who do not know this love, or experience it. God's love turns us toward mission.
God does not seem to separate mission and relationship, so we don't want to either. That is why home groups are such a core part of developing relationships and mission as a community of faith.

A pea coat (or pea jacket, pilot jacket) is an outer coat, generally of a navy-colored heavy wool, originally worn by sailors of American and European navies. Pea coats are characterized by broad lapels, double-breasted fronts, often large wooden or metal buttons, and vertical or slash pockets. References to the pea jacket appear in American newspapers at least as early as the 1720s, and modern renditions still maintain the original design and composition.
A "bridge coat" is a pea coat that extends to the thighs, and is a uniform exclusively for officers and Chief Petty Officers. The "reefer" is for officers only, and is identical to the basic design but usually has gold buttons and epaulettes.
Today the style is considered a classic, and pea coats are now worn by all manner of individuals. The style has evolved to the addition of hoods.
Note that few of the jackets seen on the street are genuine navy surplus; being a classic garment, it is frequently available from retailers, though often with small design changes that reflect the current fashion trends. The standard for historical pea coats was 30 ounces (approx. 850 g) wool, most often made of heavy Melton Cloth through the 1970s in the U.S. Navy. Presently coats are made from 22–32 oz (620–910 g) wool. While pea coats are offered in many colors by retailers, the U.S. Navy-issue pea coat is always Navy Blue (which appears black, to the untrained eye).
The term "pea coat" originated from the Dutch or West Frisian word pijjekker, in which pij referred to the type of cloth used, a coarse kind of twilled blue cloth with a nap on one side.

As a kid my uncle called me pencil because I had really skinny legs. As a kid it was funny and I liked that he had a nickname for me, but as I got older I became painfully aware of how skinny my legs are. In high school and college other students would talk about my legs and how lucky I was to have such skinny legs. My first night in the college dorm, another student made a very loud comment about my legs in front several other girls. I was so embarrassed, even though I know she wasn't trying to be mean. On the contrary her comment was meant to be a compliment, but every time someone made a comment it made me dislike my legs even more.
In the fall of 2013 I learned why my legs are so skinny. During a visit to my orthopedic I was informed that I have muscle wasting in my lower legs, but the doctor didn't know why. Shortly after this I began my search for a diagnosis, and in July of 2015 I was diagnosed with Pompe disease.
Pompe disease is classified as a glycogen storage disease which is part of a group of metabolic disorders characterized by abnormalities involving the use and/or storage of glycogen. People with Pompe don't produce enough of the enzyme know as acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), and as a result glycogen accumulates in the lysosomes leading sequentially to cellular malfunction, cellular damage, tissue damage and ultimately organ dysfunction. In Pompe, that is manifested as muscle weakness and wasting. Pompe disease affects skeletal muscles, respiratory muscles and cardiac muscles. It can also affect a person's ability to chew and swallow.
So when people talk about having an invisible illness, I have one. The picture above is of my legs, and if you look closely you can see that my right leg is smaller. This is a result of muscle wasting, which has caused my knee caps to be out of place. As a result, I have frequent pain in my knees and lower legs; I don't pick my feet up like most people when I walk which has caused me to fall numerous times. I now wear braces on my legs which provide support to my knees and legs so I have less pain, and they help me to pick my feet up when I walk which prevents me from falling. I also have significant weakness in my right arm and hand which causes numbness in my hand and arm. This numbness makes writing and typing very difficult.
This second picture is of me having a sleep study. I currently sleep with four pillows, because I can't lay flat or I will stop breathing. Remember Pompe affects my respiratory system and has significantly weakened my diaphragm; my ability to breath is significantly affected when I am laying down. Sometimes I only get three or four hours of sleep a night which leaves me feeling tired the next day. I used to fall asleep at my desk at work, and some days I would come home from work and go straight to bed, which often left me feeling like I was neglecting my family. I am still waiting to hear from my doctor with the results of my sleep study. Honestly I am hoping he says I need a BIPAP mask which will hopefully help me sleep on just one pillow. Sleeping almost vertical is not a natural way to sleep and causes a lot of stress on my shoulders, back and hips.
Extreme heat and cold also affect my ability to breathe. In the summer on really hot days and when the UV index is high, I stay inside. In the winter I must always wear a hat or I will get sick. In the summer sometimes I feel like the air is sitting on my chest, and I struggle to take a deep breath. I have missed many days of work as a result of weather, and believe me, it is not easy to explain to your boss that you can't come in to work because it's hot outside.
Pompe affects people in different ways. There are some of us who use mobility assistive devices which range from wheelchairs to leg braces to canes. Some of us use BIPAP or CPAP machines and still others require oxygen all of the time. For me my illness is largely invisible to people who don't know me. I have had people tell me I don't look sick, and when I went to the Pompe conference last year at least one person asked me if I actually had Pompe. Although you may not see my disease, I assure you it is there. I live with chronic pain and fatigue and sometimes severe respiratory problems and I do the infamous Pompe shuffle. Due to muscle weakness and wasting, many Pompe patients have a very distinctive walk.
I admit I was a person who doubted a person's disability based on the way he or she looked. I can remember seeing people parked in disability parking and thinking, that person doesn't look disabled. I would get upset, because I couldn't imagine a person being so thoughtless as to take a parking space from a person who truly needed it. After getting my own disability parking placard I was complaining about the lack of disability parking at work and the number of fakers parking in disability spaces, when my friend set me straight. She shared her own story of an invisible heart condition and the limitations she has as a result. I learned a valuable lesson from this conversation, and began to reflect on my own experiences as a person with a mostly invisible disability. I have also learned it can be difficult to observe the different ways in which Pompe affects us differently. For some people the disease and the disabilities that go with it are very visible and are a constant disruption to a person's life. For others it is always there, but it is not always visible to the outside world.


Good coilovers for the money, not amazing, but look at the price!
Don't buy them if your expecting a smooth and forgiving ride like you get from Meisters or BC racing coils, these Vmaxxs' are stiff but I bought them to be fitted to an MX5 that gets tracked fairly often so they were perfect for me. Would suggest the Vmaxxs' with adjustable dampening if you just want to cruise round some B roads in the summer.
They aren't dangerously bouncy like TA techys and will keep your 5 rubber side down in the turns whilst providing plenty of stability and steering feel, they give you confidence in the turns.
I'm very satisfied with how they perform for the amount they cost, greatly improved how my car handles, would recommend for people on a budget.

BY RAEJHON JOHNSON
Ganesh Neelanjanmath is the founder of iCent, an innovative app for international students. In this edition of Life after Sheridan, we cover the 2011 Sheridan grad who found success from Sheridan's Project Management program.
Neelanjanmath was born and raised in India and decided he would pursue Computer Science and Engineering. He attended Visvesvaraya Technological University in 2001 and received his bachelor's degree in 2005. Neelanjanmath spent a few years working at businesses including INSZoom Software, Bloom Consulting Services and more as a lead project analyst.
Neelanjanmath, who founded his own business in 2008 called Neel-Tech, discovered Sheridan would give him the perfect opportunity to bring his business to North America.
In 2010, Neelanjanmath made the move to Canada to attend classes at Trafalgar Campus. He remembers how confused and challenging it was trying to figure his way from Pearson Airport, only with an email about how to get to Campus.
He told Sheridan he was lost. However, Neelanjanmath was a great problem solver and would credit that moment as one of his biggest inspirations.
"I spent the majority of the year working with teams on different projects," said Neelanjanmath. "Sheridan definitely taught me a lot, techniques on how to execute a project to perfection, just all-around sharpening my skills. I came here in a daze after my eight-hour flight and found a lot of guidance."
After Neelanjanmath graduated he wondered what he should do. He told Sheridan that he wanted something he would enjoy for many years to come.
His first day in Toronto, Neelanjanmath tried to find a job at Sheridan's Campus cafeteria. He found out he would need a social insurance number and ended up having to back and forth between Sheridan and Service Canada because they told him he couldn't get a SIN without a job offer. Once again, this gave Neelanjanmath the inspiration to help students who face the same challenges.
"There were other international students asking me questions, how I figured my way around and if I had a good experience," said Neelanjanmath. "I remembered how I felt when I got here, I realized I wanted to help other international students receive the education they deserved."
Ganesh Neelanjanmath started the idea of iCent in 2013 and released the first version of the app in 2014. (Photo from icentapp.com)
Neelanjanmath began his vision of the iCent app in 2013, but also contributed his talents at other places while working on his own idea. After some research, Neelanjanmath hasn't spent very long at a company besides his own. He's worked in the same field but at a wide variety of businesses. It shows how not every job has to be a permanent position, but an opportunity to help you develop and put your skills to use. His most notable jobs before his idea took off would be at Rogers, Bell, and even working at Sheridan for six months helping create their own mobile app.
"Since nowadays everybody is on their phone when they need to find some information, I made iCent an app for smartphones," said Neelanjanmath.
Neelanjanmath's iCent app was made for international students to help get them familiar with the community, academic systems, and life in Canada. The app has been downloaded over 11,000 times since 2017. It's helped tons of international students—as reported by Sheridan, about 90 percent of students that come from outside the country use the iCent app.
Neelanjanmath has made a huge impact in Sheridan, Canada, and international students lives. You can check him out on his social media or his website. If you are interested in checking out the iCent app, you can find it here.

Петро́ Фе́дорович Сє́веров (Івано́в) ( , Лисичанськ —  1992, Київ) — радянський прозаїк, журналіст.

Життєпис
Народився  10 липня 1910 року в місті Лисичанську (тепер Луганська область, Україна) в родині службовців. Батько його, Федір Іванов, був жандармом у Російській імперії. Дитинство Петра проходило близько шахти «Корунд», що в селі Привільному.

У 1920-ті роки навчавться в гірничо промисловому училищі № 2. У п'ятнадцять років працював помічником на шахті «Дагмара». Після її закриття Петро залишається без роботи та подається до Маріуполя, де й взнав про робітничий факультет, що в Москві, куди згодом і вступив. Після навчання ходив у плавання кораблями Радянського торговельного флоту.

В 1933 році закінчив Далекосхідний педагогічний інститут. Після чого повернувся на батьківщину, де в редакції журналу «Литературный Донбасс» розпочав свою літературну діяльність.

Свою першу розповідь «Вдохновение» Петро Сєверов написав, коли був на флоті, яку опублікував у журналі «Литературный Донбасс» 1934 року. Того ж року в Сталіному виходить його збірка «Новеллы о сердце», де він підписується як Сєверов, через минуле свого батька. В 1935 році в різних видавництвах виходять відразу п'ять його книг, де він розповідає про тих, кого зустрів під час служби на флоті.

В 1936 році переїхав до Києва. У період Другої світової війни Петро служив кореспондентом армійських та фронтових газет. У видавництві Політуправління Південного фронту виходять його книжки «Комиссары в бою», «Курс на Запад», «Боевые рейсы мирных машин».

У післявоєнні часи видаються книги письменника, де він описує море та Донщину — «Морские были», «"Рюрик" в океане», «Курс — Норд», «Беспокойный инок Игнатий», «В русской Америке», «Казак Семейка — служилый человек», «Мореплаватель из Нежина», «Весна в Донбассе» та інші.

7 листопада 1959 року виходить радянський фільм, виробництва кіностудії ім. О. Довженка, «Его поколение», сценаристом якого є Петро Сєверов. А 1960 року Петра Федоровича нагороджено Орденом Трудового Червоного Прапора.

Помер в 1992 році в Києві.

Use the REFRESH TRACING LEVEL statement to reload the tracing levels from the sa_diagnostic_tracing_level table while a tracing session is in progress.
Suppose you are troubleshooting a performance problem. You turn on a high level of tracing for the entire database to capture the queries that are causing the problem. After starting the tracing session, you find that capturing all queries for all users on your system slows down your database too much, so you decide you'd rather limit tracing to one user and wait for that user to report a problem. However, you do not want to stop the tracing session to change the settings.

        pntMove = Me.PointToScreen(New Point(Math.Max(Math.Min(e.X, Me.ClientSize.Width), 0), Math.Max(Math.Min(e.Y, Me.ClientSize.Height), 0)))

        recSelection = GetRectangle(pntDown, pntMove)

        ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame(Me.recSelection.Value, Me.BackColor, FrameStyle.Dashed)
    End If
End Sub

Private Function GetRectangle(pointA As Point, pointB As Point) As Rectangle
    Dim intLeft As Integer = Math.Min(pointA.X, pointB.X)
    Dim intTop As Integer = Math.Min(pointA.Y, pointB.Y)

    Dim intRight As Integer = Math.Max(pointA.X, pointB.X)
    Dim intBottom As Integer = Math.Max(pointA.Y, pointB.Y)

    Return Rectangle.FromLTRB(intLeft, intTop, intRight, intBottom)
End Function

Basically I want to draw a selection rectangle over a control and its children. In MSDN documentation, it says that to erase the rectangle, I should recall the DrawReversibleFrame method with the same parameters used to draw it in the first place.
Unfortunately, in my case that doesn't seem to work. The previous selection rectangle remains painted over the control. At one point I can end up having multiple selection rectangles accumulating:

(not the actual screenshot, I used MS Paint to reproduce the effect)
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE:
I tried the very same code shown in the documentation and the behavior is the exact same! Might have something to do with my specific display settings. Also I'm using Windows 8.1. Could that be the issue? I'll try deploying on another system tomorrow.

A: I ended up using the "mask" solution, as proposed by Hans in the comments above, with a few ameliorations:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public NotInheritable Class RectangleDrawer

    Private Sub New()
    End Sub

    Public Shared Function Draw(parent As Form) As Rectangle

        ' Record the start point
        Dim startingPoint As Point = parent.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition)

        ' Create a transparent form on top of control and display it
        Using mask As New MaskForm(parent, startingPoint)
            mask.ShowDialog(parent)
        End Using

        Dim pos As Point = parent.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition)

        Dim x As Integer = Math.Min(startingPoint.X, pos.X)
        Dim y As Integer = Math.Min(startingPoint.Y, pos.Y)
        Dim w As Integer = Math.Abs(startingPoint.X - pos.X)
        Dim h As Integer = Math.Abs(startingPoint.Y - pos.Y)

        Return New Rectangle(x, y, w, h)
    End Function

    Private Class MaskForm
        Inherits Form

        Friend Sub New(parent As Form, startingPoint As Point)
            MyBase.New()

            Me._StartingPoint = startingPoint

            Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
            Me.BackColor = Color.Magenta
            Me.TransparencyKey = Me.BackColor
            Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
            Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual

            Me.DoubleBuffered = True 'Prevents flickering (credits to Mike)

            Me.Size = parent.ClientSize
            Me.Location = parent.PointToScreen(Point.Empty)
        End Sub

        Dim _StartingPoint As Point

                ' Don't steal focus away

        End Property

        End Sub

        Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseMove(e as MouseEventArgs)
            MyBase.OnMouseMove(e)

            ' Repaint the rectangle
            Me.Invalidate()
        End Sub

        Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseUp(e as MouseEventArgs)
            MyBase.OnMouseMove(e)

            ' Done, close mask
            Me.Close()
        End Sub

                e.Graphics.DrawLine(pen, pos.X, _StartingPoint.Y, pos.X, pos.Y)
                e.Graphics.DrawLine(pen, pos.X, pos.Y, _StartingPoint.X, pos.Y)
                e.Graphics.DrawLine(pen, _StartingPoint.X, pos.Y, _StartingPoint.X, _StartingPoint.Y)
            End Using
        End Sub

    End Class

End Class

Words doesn't even begin to describe how much I hate it, but that's still the best workaround I've seen.

A: I was looking for a solution, and this solution from Crono works perfectly.  The only improvement I will add is to eliminate the flickering of the rectangle.  Here is how:

*

*Have the class inherit Form

*Remove the class property Private Shared mMask As Form

*Also, remove mMask = New Form()

*In the Draw function, replace mMask with Me

*After Me.Location = parent.PointToScreen(Point.Empty), enter the line
Me.DoubleBuffered = True 'Prevent Flickering

*In DoCapture replace mMask.Capture = True with
sender.Capture = True

*In MouseMove replace mMask.Invalidate() with
sender.Invalidate()

*In MouseUp replace mMask.Close() with
sender.Close()

*In PaintRectangle replace Dim pos As Point = mMask.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition) with
Dim pos As Point = sender.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition)
Enjoy non flickering!

A: This is a modified answer I made to another post. I don't use VB so I don't want to clutter this topic with an answer in a different language. But, the pseudo logic for what you're trying to do is this:
MouseDown:

*

*Draw a rectangle using DrawReversibleFrame.

*Save rectangle bounds.

MouseMove (w/ left button down):

*

*Redraw previous rectangle to erase, using DrawReversibleFrame.

*Calculate the next rectangle using new mouse coordinates.

*Draw next rectangle using DrawReversibleFrame.

*Save rectangle bounds.

*Rinse/Repeat indefinitely.

MouseUp:

*

*Redraw last rectangle to erase, using DrawReversibleFrame.

*Call Invalidate(true) for good measure.

To Troubleshoot: Create a wrapper function for DrawReversibleFrame() calls. After drawing the rectangle, print the rectangle bounds to the debug window. Verify that each rectangle is drawn twice as you drag your mouse across the control.
I hope this helps.
Note: In response to your post, there is about a 0% chance that your problem is related to the functioning of your computer or Windows 8.

\section{Introduction}
Prompted by the significance of base station (BS) deployment issues, substantial researchers have been working on the relevant subjects over decades \cite{Kibi2016Modelling,Zhou2016Large,Li2016On,Zhao2017Temporal,Kwon2015Random}.

However, the majority of related documents studied BS deployments only by means of analyzing BS density distributions. In our works, unprecedentedly, several principal concepts in algebraic geometry field, i.e., $ \alpha $-Shapes, Betti numbers, and Euler characteristics \cite{Weygaert2011Alpha}, are merged into the analyses of the BS topology of eight representative cities around the world. In essential, BSs can be abstracted into a discrete point set in the 2-dimensional plane, and connections between BSs can be specifically established according to the construction of $ \alpha $-Shapes, so $ \alpha $-Shapes are capable of reflecting topological features of BS deployments. Moreover, the topological information can be extracted from the Betti numbers and the Euler characteristics as well, because the corresponding $ \alpha $-Shapes can be expressed in terms of these two features. Due to the space limitation, interesting readers could refer to \cite{Chen2018Topology} to find the details of these three topological notions and their relationships.

To be specific, this letter is devoted to searching for essential topological features in BS deployments, which transcend geographical, historic, or culture distinctions, and these properties stand a good chance to provide valuable guidance for designers of cellular networks. For this purpose, this letter offers two novel contributions as listed below:
\begin{itemize}
	\item Firstly, the fractal nature is uncovered in BS configurations based on the Betti numbers and the Hurst coefficients;
	\item Secondly, log-normal distribution is confirmed to match the Euler characteristics of the real BS location data with the best fitting among all candidate distributions.
\end{itemize}

The organization of this letter is arranged as follows: The actual BS location data are briefly introduced in Section II. The fractal phenomenon in BS deployments for either Asian or European cities is presented in Section III. The log-normal distribution is affirmed to offer the best fitting for the Euler characteristics of all the eight cities in Section IV. Lastly, conclusions are summarized in Section V.

\section{Dataset Description}
A great deal of real data downloaded from \emph{OpenCellID} community (https://community.opencellid.org/) \cite{Ulm2015Characterization}, a platform to provide BS's latitude and longitude data all over the world, are analyzed to guarantee the validity of results. Substantial BS location data of eight cities, including four representative cities in Asia (i.e., Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing, and Mumbai) and Europe (i.e., Warsaw, London, Munich, and Paris) respectively, have been collected from this platform. The basic information of these eight cities is provided in Table I.

\section{Fractal Nature in Cellular Networks Topology}
As a vital property of complex networks, the fractal nature has been revealed in a plenty of wireless networking scenarios \cite{Yuan2017The,Ge2016Wireless,Hao2017Wireless,Strogatz2005Complex,Song2005Self}. In terms of the Betti numbers and the Hurst coefficients, the fractal feature in the BS topology is verified in this section.

\subsection{Fractal Features Based on the Betti Curves}
The random and fractal point distributions can be distinguished by their Betti curves as depicted in Fig. 1 (for details see \cite{Pranav2017The}).

\begin{figure}[htbp]
	\centering
	\subfigure[Points deployment diagrams: (left) random; (right) fractal.]{

	}
}

	\caption{Comparison between the Betti curves of random and fractal point distributions. }
\end{figure}

Fig. 1(a) displays the practical point diagrams for both the random and fractal point deployments. For the left part of Fig. 1(a), the horizontal and vertical coordinates of each point are randomly designated according to Poisson point distribution, whereas the fractal point deployment in the right part of Fig. 1(a) is realized by the hierarchical partitions of the area, which brings the most principal aspect of fractal features, i.e., self-similarity \cite{Benhaiem2018Self}, into the point distribution.

Fig. 1(b) illustrates the Betti curves for the random pattern, while Fig. 1(c) for the fractal pattern. Instead of the clearly monotonous decease in the $ \beta_{0} $ curve and the single peak in the $ \beta_{1} $ curve in the random situation, the fractal nature is manifested by the distinctive features of multiple ripples and peaks in the $ \beta_{0} $ and $ \beta_{1} $ curves, respectively \cite{Pranav2017The}, where a ripple is formed due to the distinct slope change as highlighted by the amplified blue subgraph in Fig. 1(c).

In summary, the fractal property can be characterized by the hierarchical patterns, i.e., the multiple ripples and peaks of the Betti curves \cite{Pranav2017The}. In our works, the fractal property in the BS topology is verified in Fig. 2 for European cities and Fig. 3 for Asian ones, respectively. Beyond the geographical constraints, it is extremely astonishing to find out the consistent fractal nature for all the aforementioned eight cities.

Moreover, the entirely different positions of the multiple ripples and peaks can be evaluated on the basis of the crossover point of two straight lines with quite different gradients, as shown by the $ \beta_{0} $ curves in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. As listed in Table II, it is clear that the peaks always come after the corresponding ripples, which makes sense because of the larger size of loops than that of components in the relevant topologies.

	\centering
	\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{table2.pdf}
	\caption{The positions of the ripples and peaks in the Betti curves.}
\end{table}

\subsection{Fractal Features Based on the Hurst Coefficients}
The Hurst coefficient between [0,1] is widely used as an evaluation index of the fractal property of data series, and the indication of fractality increases gradually as the Hurst coefficient approaches to 1 \cite{Gneiting2001Stochastic}.

For the sake of verifying the fractal nature in the BS topology, the rescaled range analysis (R/S) method \cite{Fern2014An} is adopted to compute the Hurst coefficients of all the selected cities in this letter. Due to the space limitation, the details about the calculation of the Hurst coefficients will not be provided here, and all the relevant information can be found in \cite{Chen2018Topology}. As listed in Table III, the fractal nature is evidently affirmed because all the Hurst coefficients turn out to be very close to 1.
\begin{table}[htb]
	\centering
	\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{table3.pdf}
	\caption{The Hurst coefficients for all the 8 cities.}
\end{table}

\section{Log-normal Distribution of the Euler Characteristics}
The Euler characteristics can be calculated from Betti numbers according to Euler-Poincare Formula  \cite{Weygaert2011Alpha}. Since a clear heavy-tailed property is demonstrated in the probability density functions (PDFs) of the Euler characteristics of the real BS location data, three classical heavy-tailed statistical distributions and widely-used Poisson distribution are selected as the candidates to match the PDFs. The candidates and their PDF formulas are given in Table IV.
\begin{table}[htb]
	\centering
	\includegraphics[scale=0.12]{table4.pdf}
	\caption{The candidate distributions and their PDF expressions.}
\end{table}

The real PDF and the fitted ones are presented in Fig. 4 for European cities and in Fig. 5 for Asian ones, respectively. In order to verify the best fitness for the Euler characteristics, the root mean square error (RMSE) between the real distribution and every candidate is listed in Table V, and it is obvious that the RMSE between log-normal distribution and the real PDF is almost one-order of magnitude smaller than the others in the same row. As a result, an astounding but well-grounded conclusion can be drawn as follows: regardless of the geographical boundaries, the culture differences and the historical limitations, the Euler characteristics of both Asian and European cities entirely conform to log-normal distribution.

\section{Conclusion and Future Works}
In this letter, several typical instruments in the algebraic geometric field, namely, $ \alpha $-Shapes, Betti numbers, and Euler characteristics, have been utilized in the discovery of inherent topological essences in BS deployments for Asian and European cities. Firstly, the fractal nature has been revealed in the BS topology according to both the Betti numbers and the Hurst coefficients. Moreover, it has been proved that log-normal distribution provides the best match for the PDFs of the Euler characteristics of the real BS location data in cellular networks among the classical candidate distributions.

However, regardless of the topological discoveries above, some thought-provoking problems still need to be solved. For example, how can the fractal nature be applied to the design of cellular networks? How can log-normal distribution of the Euler characteristics facilitate BS deployments? All of these issues will be investigated in our future works.

The Interior Ministry dismissed claims about widespread irregularities that could have affected several million ballots in the May 19 presidential elections, arguing that the whole election process was under the watchful eye of the Guardian Council.
As per law, the council is in charge of vetting all those seeking public office, overseeing elections and validating their results. The Interior Ministry is responsible for holding and organizing the vote. The election results showed that an outright majority of voters, from among the 41 million plus who cast ballots, voted to extend the mandate of incumbent Hassan Rouhani.
Rouhani got 23.5 million votes, handing a 57% to 38% defeat to his main challenger Ebrahim Raeisi who got 15.7 million votes.
"The entire process, including the balloting and counting, was carried out under the watch of at least three Guardian Council monitors," the ministry said in a statement posted on its website on Friday.
It said claims that seek to question and discredit election officials could provoke divisions among millions of people "who came to ballot box to defend the revolution and the Islamic Republic." It also warned that such unhelpful claims could have the potential to compromise national security.
The ministry was responding to Thursday's remarks by the secretary general of the Combatant Clergy Association Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani, who asked the council to look into alleged violations and publicly announce the results.
"The irregularities did not influence the outcome of the vote [Rouhani's victory]…but if they are taken into account, votes for Raeisi could rise from 16 million to 19 million and those for Rouhani could fall from 23 million to 21 million."
"Those who violated election rules should know that a watchful eye is kept on them, so they do not take the liberty to repeat their mistakes," the senior cleric told a meeting of the Popular Front of Islamic Revolution Forces -- the body created by principlists last December, which later supported Raeisi in his failed bid to the presidency.
Last Sunday, Raeisi himself sent a three-page letter to the oversight body asking for alleged "misconduct and flagrant violations" to be investigated, enclosing "hundreds of pages of evidence" supporting his claims.
Before voting ended Friday midnight, his campaign team had complained of "widespread electoral violations" and called for intervention by authorities.
His campaign manager Ali Nikzad talked of "propaganda by certain officials and supporters of the government" in favor of Rouhani on polling day, and another campaign staff claimed that not enough ballot papers were available in areas presumably in favor of Raeisi.
The spokesman of the Guardians Council said last Monday it was looking into claims and complaints filed by presidential contenders against irregularities and offences before and during the vote, and will respond by Tuesday.

10 يوليو Team Bangladesh 2018
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with a particularly youthful age demographic: in a country of 160 million people almost 16 million are aged between 14 and 18 (the age criteria for participating in FIRST Global Challenge).
Five of these young people will represent Team Bangladesh in FGC 2018 mentored by Shams Jaber. Amongst the five, two had participated in last year's inaugural event which turned out to be a life-changing event for them and are excited about returning. The five members are …..Anahita Anoara, Laleh Naz Bergman Hossain, Sujoy Mahmud, Arman Khasru and Razeen Ali.
Razeen Ali goes to Sir John Wilson School, likes everything tech-related, and mathematics. His passion for coding will help him evolve as an engineer, he says.
Arman Khasru goes to Sunbeams School. He is a 16 year old and his interests include Coding, basketball, pool, gaming, and writing.
Sujoy Mahmud goes to Mangrove School. He is the programmer of the team. His dream is to unify software engineering, robotics, electronics with bio-med engineering to make the world a better place.
Laleh Naz is a 16 year old girl who joined the Tech Academy at its start and was the first female student. She has inspired other girls to join and learn programming. She has been featured in a local magazine as an inspiring woman while being a teenanger because of her effort to teach programming to women older than her.
Anahita Anoara is a multi-talented teenager whose interests include programming, photography, music and more. She is very passionate about teaching programming and electronics to others. Her analytical and communication skills make her stand out.
Team BANGLADESH's mentor, Shams Jaber is the founder of The Tech Academy, a social enterprise that provides computer programming, electronics and robotics education to children and teenagers of two cities and a remote village in Bangladesh. He is a part of the Global Shapers initiative in the Dhaka Hub, a project of the World Economic Forum which has 377 hubs in major cities in 156 countries. Being a newly hired part-time faculty for Robotics (freshly started course) at the International School Dhaka (ISD), he has initiated the much awaited partnership between the school and The Tech Academy.

In this seventh tutorial, we will learn the principle of the piezoelectric effect. You will use the piezo buzzer to build a knock sensor that produces an electrical charge when the piezo element is oscillating. You will write an Android application in which the background changes each time a knock has been sensed. A simple ProgressBar UI element will visualize the current ADC value that has been sensed.

The Case For Sacking Bob Bradley
July 13, 2011 // by Keith Levinsky// Leave a Comment

During the Gold Cup, Bob Bradley appeared to be both a genius and a highly incompetent coach. Bradley allowed former phenom Freddy Adu to play a major role on the United States National Team. He benched Landon Donovan for two pivotal games, but effectively coached the United States to the finals.
After weighing it out, I am leaning towards the later: Bradley is incompetent.
Let's look at Bradley's career of collapses.
Recently, Bradley oversaw the first-ever American loss in the Gold Cup group stages. The American coach was also mere minutes from seeing the elimination of the United States from the World Cup. He forfeited a two-goal leads in both the Confederation's Cup and the Gold Cup Finals.
Yes, Bradley did get the United States to three Gold Cup finals, the Confederation's Cup finals, and the knockout round of the World Cup. To be honest, most of these accomplishments, with the exception of the Confederation's Cup Final, were expected. On these big stages, the American coach went 1 for 5 with the Confederation's Cup and two of the Gold Cups ending in particularly embarrassing fashion.
The U.S. must have a national team must have a rock solid defense if they want to succeed. Defense has been Bradley's weakness. America should not be a national team that surrenders two early goals to Panama and Slovenia, three straight goals to Brazil and four consecutive goals to Mexico. Mexico and Brazil are strong teams, but if your team takes a two-goal lead, you can't give that up..
My high school coach always used to say that most goals come in the first and last five minutes of a half and right after a goal. Bradley should have pounded this into his players' heads. The United States exit in the World Cup occurred as a result of two goals in the first five minutes of the game and overtime. In the most recent Gold Cup, Mexico's three decisive goals came either five minutes after a goal or five minutes after halftime.
The worst part of Bradley's reign, was coaching during the primes of the two best American players in history,; midfielder, Landon Donovan, and goalkeeper, Tim Howard. The only hardware he has to show for this talent is the 2007 Gold Cup. American fans can only hope that Bradley or America's next coach will take advantage of this talent.
Bradley is not nearly the worst coach the United States has ever had, but there clearly needs to be a change. No one can discount his 2007 Gold Cup victory, but that was over four years ago. The question is, though, how can you keep Bradley when the United States could pick up Jurgen Klinsmann or another high profile coach? Klinsmann led an inexperienced German team to a third place finish in the 2006 World Cup, and the Germans loved him so much that he received a Medal of Honor from the government. Let's hope that after the 2014 World Cup the United States President is awarding Klinsmann the medal of honor.
