text:
Epidendrum /ˌɛpɪˈdɛndrəm/,[1] abbreviated Epi in the horticultural trade,[2] is a large neotropical genus of the orchid family. With more than 1,500 species,[3] some authors describe it as a mega-genus. The genus name (from Greek επί, epi and δένδρον, dendron, "upon trees") refers to its epiphytic growth habit.
E. nocturnum
Clade: Angiosperms
Clade: Monocots
Order: Asparagales
Family: Orchidaceae
Subtribe: Laeliinae
Genus: Epidendrum
L., 1763
Epidendrum nocturnum
Jacq., 1760
About 1,100 species—see List of Epidendrum species
When Carl Linnaeus named this genus in 1763, he included in this genus all the epiphytic orchids known to him. Although few of these orchids are still included in the genus Epidendrum, some species of Epidendrum are nevertheless not epiphytic.
Distribution and ecologyEdit
They are native to the tropics and subtropical regions of the American continents, from North Carolina to Argentina. Their habitat can be epiphytic, terrestrial (such as E. fulgens), or even lithophytic (growing on bare rock, such as E. calanthm and E. saxatile). Many are grown in the Andes, at altitudes between 1,000 and 3,000 m. Their habitats include humid jungles, dry tropical forests, sunny grassy slopes, cool cloud forests, and sandy barrier islands.
Members of this genus can be very aggressive colonisers of disturbed habitat, and many species which were once rare in this genus have become more common as the result of human activities. For example, some of these plants can be found in greater abundance growing terrestrially along road cuts throughout their native ranges as the result of road construction.[4][5]
Many of these species are relatively easy to grow in rich humus compost with some sand. The plants resemble Dendrobiums in form and habit typically, although they tend to be terrestrial rather than lithophytic and epiphytic, and do better in a humus rich, well aerated substrate.[4][5]
Most of the high altitude members of this genus from cloud forests defy cultivation outside their habitat, and it is reported that even moving a plant from one location to another on the same host tree in habitat will result in the death of the plant, possibly due to dependency on a specific mycorrhizal fungal symbiont.[4][5]
They are quite varied in flower size and appearance. They grow in tufts, in racemose inflorescences, sometimes in corymbs or panicles. The apical, lateral or basal flowers are mostly small to medium in size and frequently are not marked by a conspicuous display. The inflorescences are frequently dense. Many species are fragrant. The flowers may be produced only once, or during several years from the same or new inflorescences. The ellipsoid fruits are 3-ribbed capsules.
This genus has the following characteristics:
a slit rostellum (small extension or little beak to the median stigma lobe), producing a transparent or white thick and adhesive liquid.
the sometimes fringed lip is adnate to ( = united with) the column (forming a nectary tube (but rarely producing nectar), continuing through the pedicel). The genus Prosthechea was split off because the lip is not completely adnate to the apex of the column.
the pollinarium contains four pollinia, sometimes two and rarely eight pollinia, and then four very reduced.
the erect, pendent, or creeping stems are reed-like, simple or branching, or may be pseudobulbs or thickened stems. (The genus Coilostylis, recently split off from Epidendrum, has pseudobulbs, is an artificial genus and does not stand up to molecular analysis)
SynonymyEdit
Epidendrum radicans in the wild.
Epidendrum sp. in the wild.
Initially, European taxonomists applied the generic epithet Epidendrum to all newly discovered epiphytic orchids. Gradually, many of these "Epidendrums" were recognized as being quite diverse and deserving of different generic epithets—many belong to different tribes or subtribes (e.g. Vanda). To add to the confusion, however, many descriptions of closely related species were published with different generic epithets.
As if the confusion caused by these publications were not great enough, many closely related genera (or perhaps subgenera, sections, or subsections) have been recognized and published. According to the modern rules of taxonomy, each new proposed genus that is split off from Epidendrum must bear the name of the oldest generic epithet published for a member of the new genus. Hence, many genera which have been brought into synonymy with Epidendrum have later been segregated out again. Because most of these decisions rest on the informed opinions of authorities, the segregated taxa are often then re-published as synonyms. Hence, some of the following information may seem a bit contradictory, especially if the assertion that two names are "synonyms" is misconstrued as an assertion that the two names mean exactly the same thing.
The following genera have been brought into synonymy with Epidendrum:
Amphiglottis Salisb.
Auliza Small
Coilostylis Raf.
Didothion Raf.
Diothonea Lindl.
Dothilophis Raf.
Doxosma Raf.
Epicladium Small
Epidanthus L.O.Williams
Epidendropsis Garay & Dunst.
Exophya Raf.
Hemiscleria Lindl.
Kalopternix Garay & Dunst.
Lanium (Lindl.) Benth.
Larnandra Raf.
Microepidendrum Brieger (nom. inval.)
Minicolumna Brieger (nom. inval.)
Nanodes Lindl.
Neolehmannia Kraenzl.
Neowilliamsia Garay
Nyctosma Raf.
Phadrosanthus Neck. ex Raf.
Physinga Lindl.
Pleuranthium Benth.
Pseudepidendrum Rchb.f.
Psilanthemum Klotzsch ex Stein (1892)
Seraphyta Fisch. & C.A.Mey.
Spathiger Small
Stenoglossum Kunth
Tritelandra Raf..
Genera which have been erected (or resurrected) from Epidendrum include the following examples:
Anacheilium (Lindl..) Withner & P.A.Harding (2004). This genus contains more than 50 species, reclassified from Prosthechea, Encyclia, and Epidendrum.
Barkeria
Dimerandra
Caularthron
Coilostylis (Raf.)Withner & Harding
Encyclia This is another "mega-genus" differing from Epidendrum in that the plants are mostly pseudobulbous, and in that the lip "encircles" the column, rather than being adnate. Like Epidendrum, genera have been and are likely to continue to be split off from this genus.
Euchile (Dressler & G.E. Pollard) C.L. Withner (1998) was elevated from a section of Encyclia with two species.
Hormidium Lindl. ex Heynh, described by Brieger as having the lip adnate to the proximal part of the column. Brieger placed more than 100 species in this genus. (Lindley was unsure if this was a genus, subgenus, or section.) Withner and Harding recently transferred two more species into this genus: one from Epidendrum and one from Encyclia.
Microepidendrum Brieger ex W.E.Higgins (2002)
Oerstedella Rchb.f.
Oestlundia W.E.Higgins (2002)
Panarica Withner & P.A.Harding (2004) contains six species, some from Prosthechea and some from Epidendrum
Pollardia Withner & P.A.Harding (2004) contains seventeen species, some from Prosthechea and some from Epidendrum.
Prosthechea This debatable genus contains the "cockleshell orchids", with lips which are adnate to the column only about halfway to the apex, and which "encircle" the end of the column. Most of the species of this genus were long classified in Encyclia. Some species of this genus have been placed in Anacheilium (Lindl.) Withner & P.A.Harding (2004) and Panarica Withner & P.A.Harding (2004).
Pseudencyclia Chiron & V.P.Castro (2003)
Psychilis
SpeciesEdit
See List of Epidendrum species for a full list
Epidendrum sensu lato is a huge genus, embracing more than 2,000 binomials (about 1,100 accepted names and the rest have become synonyms of other species). More than 1,000 have been split off into new or resurrected genera. However, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 Epidendrum orchids, many of which still have to be discovered. More than 400 new species have lately been described by Eric Hágsater and colleagues (see: Reference).
Several botanists have been honored with an Epidendrum orchid named after them, including the following:
E. carnevalii Hágsater & L.Sánchez, (1999). (named after Carnevali)
E. dunstervilleorum Foldats, (1967). (named after G.C.K. and E. Dunsterville, husband and wife)
E. foldatsii Hágsater & Carnevali, (1993). (named after Foldats)
E. garayi Løjtnant, (1977). (named after Garay)
E. garciae Pabst, (1976). (named after Garcia-Cruz)
E. hagsateri Christenson, (1995). (named after Hágsater)
E. lueri Dodson & Hágsater, (1989). (was named after Dr. Luer of the Missouri Botanical Gardens, author of the series of monographs about the Pleurothallidinae orchids, the Icones Pleurothallidinarum)
E. schlechterianum Ames, (1924). (named after Rudolf Schlechter)
E. schweinfurthianum Correll, (1947). (named after Schweinfurth)
HybridsEdit
Only a few natural hybrids within the genus have been named as species, such as Epidendrum × doroteae, Epidendrum × gransabanense and Epidendrum × purpureum.
Epidendrum orchids hybridize readily with members of other related genera, such as Cattleya (Epicattleya is the accepted nothogenus for such a hybrid) Brassavola (producing a Brassoepidendrum). There are also multi-generic hybrids, for example, Adamara is the nothogenus for hybrids containing ancestor species from each of the genera Brassavola, Cattleya, Epidendrum, and Laelia, but no others.
Hybridization is thought to have a strong influence in diversification of this genus sometimes compromising the genetic integrity of the parental species.[6][7]
CultureEdit
The flowers of many Epidendrum species are small, but some such as E. ibaguense are showy, and many are widely cultivated, such as E. cinnabarinum, E. ibaguense, E. nocturnum, E. radicans, E. secundum, and a multitude of hybrids of these species.
Most Epidendrum species require cool or intermediate to warm conditions for culture, and the commonly cultivated species, such as E. radicans grow in typically cool conditions. Some, such as E. magnoliae (syn. E. conopseum) can even tolerate extended freezing conditions. In Auckland and other sub-tropical regions of New Zealand, the cool growing plants will flower all year round. While they are normally grown in pots, it is also possible to grow them in a bark garden or on a tree, although the plants prefer a humus rich well-aerated media.[5]
Wild E. magnoliae (syn. conopseum), Gadsden Co. FL.
E. apaganoides
Coilostylis (E.) ciliare
E. embreci
Nanodes (E.) porpax
E. radicans in the wild; Tziscao, Chiapas, Mexico.
E. secundum in the montane forest of Cusco, southeastern Peru.

7 Shocking Reasons Why We Judge Other Parents
This article is number 1 out of 4 in this series of "Parents Judging Other Parents".
I'll bet nobody cared so much about your actions or decisions until you became a parent. That was the life-changing moment that introduced you to the concepts of green poop, sleepless nights, oh and with the territory came being judged for all your parenting decisions you've ever made and are ever going to make.
A survey on Zero to Three shared that "9 in 10 parents across the board feel judged".
And I know you've been there. We all have.
We've been that parent with a loud kid on an airplane, that parent with the screaming child in a restaurant, that parent with a tantrum-throwing toddler in line at the supermarket.
We've all seen the unmistakable glares, the fingers pointed our way, the hushed whispers. We've all felt the shame and frustration and desperation.
We're all too ready to relate to this, saying, "YES!! I've been judged as a parent way too many times!"
But are we equally eager to admit that we've been on the judging end so many times too?
I'll be the first to admit: I'm guilty of having judged other parents.
Before I became a parent, I was that smug bug who secretly looked down on parents who play on their smartphones instead of interacting with their kids while waiting for their food to arrive.
After I became a parent, I silently judged parents who don't allow their kids to eat ANY sugar whatsoever.
And I've definitely judged parents who kept up with frequent playdates with many other parents and kids when Covid-19 hit and lockdowns were in place.
Why do we do this? Why do we judge other parents?
I've had to look deep within myself to pull these 7 possible reasons out. It's been a very disturbing, embarrassing and yet enlightening experience.
Because why do we judge other parents? Well, it all boils down to ego.
We might judge other parents because we feel like a failure?

We judge because we feel ashamed.
2. Inferiority complex
We judge because we feel inadequate and like we can't measure up.
3. Pride
We judge because we think we're better.
4. Defensiveness
We judge because we're feeling defensive about our parental decisions.
5. "Fairness"
We judge because we've been judged.
6. Assurance and acknowledgement
We judge because it makes us feel better about ourselves.
We judge because it's so much easier than dealing with our jealousy.
I've definitely judged because I've felt ashamed at not being able to afford things for my kid.
Last winter, all the kids in his class went on a trek through the forest. All the parents received a note prior to the excursion advising us to dress them for the trek. When I dropped him off at school, all the other kids were in winter coats, winter boots, ski trousers, the works. My kid looked the same as every other day he'd gone to school. That was the first moment I had ever felt ashamed as a parent, that we couldn't give him fancy trekking clothes.
My husband tried to make me feel better by saying, "All those other parents are just super rich and they don't know where to spend their money, so they just splurge on buying expensive new clothes for their kids every season to show off."
I admit, it did make me feel better, but I realised we had resorted to judging other parents and even conveniently using a stereotype of rich people (because we do live in the richest neighbourhood in the country), in order to pack our shame away.
We don't want to feel like we're not doing enough for our kids, so it's easier to make it seem like everyone else is just going overboard and being extreme. That way, we are the "normal" ones.
You know how people say when people are judging you, it's actually because they're judging themselves?
When we judge other parents, we might be secretly feeling inadequate in some way compared to them. Perhaps they're doing something we can't do, or something we aren't good at. Or they might have a completely different parenting style which seems to work.
Because they make us feel small and useless, we deflect instead and put it on them. In a bid to appease our own ego that we're actually doing a good job as parents, we feel the need to step on anyone who doesn't do things the way we do.
Psychologist Lynne Jordan says that judging others deflects how we feel about our own parenting. She believes that we judge because there is so much pressure to be the perfect parent in today's society, that when we see others do something differently, it threatens our own convictions. Criticising their approach validates OUR way, and OUR choices. We did good.
Look at how they're struggling. We're definitely better parents. We got this. And if we're right, they must be wrong, because there is only one way of parenting, right?
Hah! This couldn't be further from the truth, and yet we often have such feelings (if we're being honest with ourselves).
Suddenly we're drawn to giving unsolicited parenting advice, because "we want to help the kids" but really it's because we think their parents are lousy and we think we're superior.
This kind of moral high-horse mentality doesn't actually help other parents, it just makes them feel incompetent, and increases their frustration.
How dare you have different parenting styles than I do?! Take that, and that!

There's no one-size-fits-all "How-to-raise-a-kid" instruction manual. So we pretty much rely on ourselves to come up with our own approaches to child rearing, hopefully so they end up being happy, rational, decent human beings.
Every day we tussle between this and that in our heads, deciding what's best for them. And when we decide on a certain parenting decision, method, or strategy of raising our kids, and someone does it differently, it throws us off.
Why are they doing it differently? Do they know something I don't? What am I missing?
But instead of wanting to learn from their parenting choices, our ego kicks in and we become defensive. No, I've done so much thinking and considering. This MUST be the best way. Your way isn't. That's all. This is the way it has to be, because it is.
It sounds soooooooo childish, and yet we all know that parents are so capable of childish thoughts, don't we?
It's ridiculous, but a survey of 1000 American women online reported that "moms who have experienced shaming are more likely to shame another mom".
Whuuut??
Yes, because we've been judged before, and know that awful feeling, it's only "fair" that other people get subjected to such judgment, because we have. Yup, that's what this is saying.
"I've suffered, so you should too" is apparently a mantra some people abide by in their lives.
The horror, I know.
It's not some rite of passage all freshmen parents have to go through. It shouldn't even be normalised behaviour that parents should expect to get judged left and right.
How about "I've suffered, so I'm going to help you avoid it"?
There's a danger if we don't tell ourselves we are great parents.
We all struggle with insecurities as parents. But there is no one to tell us that we're doing a good job, or if we're on a right path.
This is dangerous because if we don't allow ourselves such affirmations that we're great parents, we might end up transferring this responsibility onto other parents –
So when we see other parents struggle in areas where we aren't, we get the assurance that we're doing something right and the acknowledgement that we're good parents.
It helps soothe our insecurities and gives ourselves a much-needed pat on the back.
If our insecurities get the better of us, we might resort to constant moral judgments, putting other parents down all the time, just so we can feel superior in some way.
But this kind of thinking is a vicious cycle – we'll develop some kind of moral superiority and become even more judgmental.
Other parents are not in charge of assuring us; we are. We need to give ourselves that pat on the back ever so often. Because we are all doing a good job in our own way.
We may want what other families have, or we might even want to become them, to live their lives. And most of the time, it's based on what we see on social media.
It's why we might get upset when we see other people's happy families, especially if we are experiencing issues in ours. We want that. We don't have that. We're jealous. But that's a difficult emotion to admit to, process and handle.
So it's easier to judge. They must be successful because they're unscrupulous. They must be able to afford so many holidays because they work all the time and never have time for their kids, so these holidays are to make up for that guilt they must have to live with.
They must be happy because they have a great support system that allows them to take lots of time off and get enough rest, because they look like really well-rested parents, and we all know that that is not a thing. I can't be as happy because I don't have what they have.
Whenever we might see someone successful in something, we might ask, "Why am I struggling but not them?" and that can lead us down this slippery path of becoming a bitter, green-eyed monster, instead of a true friend who can be happy for others' accomplishments.
When did we turn parenting into a competitive sport? When did we start getting graded on a bell curve such that if someone else is doing supposedly better, we're at risk of failing?
If you think the "Pay It Forward" concept is amazing because every single person can make a difference if they just pay it forward… Imagine how devastating it is when every single parent "pays it forward" by judging another parent. All we do is perpetuate this ugly cycle of judgment within the parenting community.
So yes, we are all guilty in one way or another. Even if we don't say it out loud, even if we're just silently thinking it in our hearts.
Whatever our reasons for judging other parents, let's just always be aware of what we're thinking, and try to stop the judgment.
Because the result will always be the same. Your judgment hurts them, and gains you nothing.
At the end of the day, we are all wonderful people, great parents, and just trying to do our best. So parents, let's help each other out on this difficult journey that is parenting!
In the next blog article of this series on "Parents Judging Other Parents", we'll touch on different areas where we really need to stop judging each other on.
In the meantime, do share your thoughts in the comments below. Have you been a victim of being judged, or are you brave enough to admit that you've ever judged someone else before? 😉

Pulsations detected in a hot, helium-atmosphere white dwarf
The top panel shows the low-frequency FT of PG 0112+104. We identify two significant peaks, marked with red dots, which describe photometric modulation at the rotation period and its first harmonic. The bottom panel shows the K2 light curve binned into 200 points, folded at the rotation period of 10.17404 hr, and repeated for clarity. A simple spot model is underplotted in red and described in the text. Credit: Hermes et al., 2016. (Phys.org)—Astronomers have recently discovered non-radial oscillations in a hot, helium-atmosphere white dwarf designated PG 0112+104. The newly detected 11 independent pulsation modes in this white dwarf could be essential for researchers testing the radial differential rotation and internal compositional stratification of highly evolved stellar remnants. The findings were presented in a paper published Dec. 22 on the arXiv pre-print server. PG 0112+104 was first identified as a helium-atmosphere (DB) white dwarf with a mass of about 0.5 solar masses and an effective temperature of over 30,000 K. Now, a team of astronomers led by J. J. Hermes of the University of North Carolina has found that its luminosity varies due to non-radial pulsations that resulted in reclassification of this star to a variable DB white dwarf (DBV).
The researchers used NASA's Kepler space telescope in order to find pulsations of PG 0112+104. The white dwarf was observed for nearly three months in mid-2016 during Campaign 8 of Kepler's prolonged mission known as K2.
"We present the detection of non-radial oscillations in a hot, helium-atmosphere white dwarf using 78.7 d of nearly uninterrupted photometry from the Kepler space telescope," the scientists wrote in the paper.
Thanks to Kepler, the team detected 11 independent pulsation modes, the majority of which have solid mode identifications and corroborate the surface rotation period. The observational campaign allowed them to distinguish five low-order dipole modes and three quadrupole modes, all of which show rotationally split multiplets and probe the internal rotation at different depths.
The researchers added that the amplitude of the newly identified pulsations is so low that previous observations were simply not sensitive enough to detect this variability. Therefore, detecting such pulsations in white dwarfs may be not so easy, especially when using ground-based observatories.
"The relatively low-amplitude pulsations observed in PG 0112+104 demonstrate that many white dwarfs that have been observed not to pulsate, mostly from the ground, may indeed vary but at amplitudes below historical detection limits," the paper reads.
According to the paper, the astronomers have also spotted a clear photometric signature of the surface rotation rate likely caused by a spot rotating into and out of view. They noted that PG 0112+104 is the first pulsating white dwarf known with a photometric signal corresponding to the surface rotation period. The surface rotation rate was estimated to be 10.17 hours.
"We speculate that this photometric signal is caused by redistributed flux from the ultraviolet by an opacity source localized on the surface, perhaps by a weak magnetic field," the team wrote.
The authors of the paper emphasize the importance of rotation of stars for our understanding of stellar evolution. They note that it affects physical processes such as convection, diffusion, and the dynamos generating strong magnetic fields. Thus, the surface rotation rate of PG 0112+104 and its pulsations could be important to advance our knowledge on this matter. Thus, the researchers plan to conduct more detailed analysis of this white dwarf in the future.

We present the detection of non-radial oscillations in a hot, helium-atmosphere white dwarf using 78.7 d of nearly uninterrupted photometry from the Kepler space telescope. With an effective temperature >30,000 K, PG 0112+104 becomes the hottest helium-atmosphere white dwarf known to pulsate. The rich oscillation spectrum of low-order g-modes includes clear patterns of rotational splittings from consecutive sequences of dipole and quadrupole modes, which can be used to probe the rotation rate with depth in this highly evolved stellar remnant. We also measure a surface rotation rate of 10.17404 hr from an apparent spot modulation in the K2 data. With two independent measures of rotation, PG 0112+104 provides a remarkable test of asteroseismic inference.

Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short, summarize this topic like I'm... Ten years old or a College student
In geometry, a diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. It can also be defined as the longest chord of the circle. Both definitions are also valid for the diameter of a sphere.

In more modern usage, the length d {\displaystyle d} of a diameter is also called the diameter. In this sense one speaks of the diameter rather than a diameter (which refers to the line segment itself), because all diameters of a circle or sphere have the same length, this being twice the radius r . {\displaystyle r.}
d = 2 r or equivalently r = d 2 . {\displaystyle d=2r\qquad {\text{or equivalently}}\qquad r={\frac {d}{2}}.}
For a convex shape in the plane, the diameter is defined to be the largest distance that can be formed between two opposite parallel lines tangent to its boundary, and the width is often defined to be the smallest such distance. Both quantities can be calculated efficiently using rotating calipers.[1] For a curve of constant width such as the Reuleaux triangle, the width and diameter are the same because all such pairs of parallel tangent lines have the same distance.
For an ellipse, the standard terminology is different. A diameter of an ellipse is any chord passing through the centre of the ellipse.[2] For example, conjugate diameters have the property that a tangent line to the ellipse at the endpoint of one diameter is parallel to the conjugate diameter. The longest diameter is called the major axis.
The word "diameter" is derived from Ancient Greek: διάμετρος (diametros), "diameter of a circle", from διά (dia), "across, through" and μέτρον (metron), "measure".[3] It is often abbreviated DIA , dia , d , {\displaystyle {\text{DIA}},{\text{dia}},d,} or ∅ . {\displaystyle \varnothing .}

Wow… Awesome
What a big joke
What_is_in_the_name says:
Agreed there are many Indian actors. But don't talk of Korean actors and kpop idols , they're too overrated. Most of the actors have undergone plastic surgery, even Lee min ho . in fact ,south Korea ranks 1st in the entire world with the most plastic surgeries. Leaving a few actors( like Lee jong sun and song hye kyo ) most of them have done surgery. Its like they're don't think they are pretty . Korean men spend the most on make up and surgery , more than any other country . this is true for all east Asian countries. Their beauty standards are too rigid . and almost no Bollywood actors have done plastic surgery. I get it that central Asian men are handsome too . but I think the list is based on actors with natural beauty .
Fan of k dramas says:
I think KOREA is also in ASIA BUT YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TO PUT IT ON LIST .??????? WHERE IS SONG JOONG KI , KIM SOO HYUN , LEE JON SUK , LEE MIN HO ??????
Mahsa says:
No dear. Korean actors are NOTHING comparing to Indian guys. Really you think for example lee min ho has a chance in front of Hritik????????
Yes it is tru no song joong ki no list
TBH says:
is this some kind of lame joke. the list should say " most haandsome indians actors," there is barely anyone except a chinese actor. the world LEGIT goes crazy for korean drama and its handsome actors.
Ashia says:
What kind of a sick joke is this! No Song Joong Ki or Lee Min Ho or Park Boe Gum? No Turkish actor either? Just some old Indian men! Who made this list? Some 50 year old?
Lee min ho has done plastic surgery and I think the list is based on actors with natural beauty. And for Turkish actors , they consider themselves as European. Though kivanç tatlitug would be surely in the list if they considered Turkish actors .
Who_cares says:
Yes , Turkish people look European, their lifestyle and culture too is European. Just that they are followers of Islam and turkey lies mostly in asia . but like Russia ,they too consider themselves European. They have even involved in many European wars and controversies in the past.
Some old Indian???????? Are u really blind???????
Sam sands says:
I agree this list is not right ! Im in the closet about my love for handsome Asian men being a white American house wife I can never say "I love Asian men" my family n bf would never understand.! At least I can have my fantasies and watch movies like red cliff n dragon blade n blade brothers n assassin n ect for the "martial arts " ??
(lol to the two person who first commented here) Anyway everyone has a different opinion and taste and this one is her list so she stand by it. and if you want your own preference then create your own list and stop complaining. Korean actors, K pops are overrated anyway which is kind of annoying you must respect others opinion and not to push your idols on someone's preference.
Tushar says:
Joke of the year..
Asian? you guys need to see the map because when China, Korean,,, etc comes in Asia too. You guys are nonsense.
EBICUTE says:
I DONT AGREE WITH THIS LIST BUT NATALI,LEE MINHO? PLEASE DEY WERE TALKING ABOUT ACTORS DAT ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO ACT NOT SMILE FOR D CAMERA.EVERYONE KNW HE HAS A VERY POOR ACTING SKILL
Is this a joke I don't agree with this chart…
the actors are not good looking than most korean actors like Seoung sung and Lee mi ho


We ourselves are weakly positioned. The congress is now finishing, it will pass. And where is the resonance? This is really a grandiose event! Well, where is the resonance?
We're even working poorly finishing our websites about the Family Homesteads story and such action as has passed here.
And as you can see now, there are two beautiful girls, the equipment stands by, they're shooting a video. Probably, at least, at the end of this month our TV will start to work, where daily news will be disseminated.
For this, it is necessary to make correspondent points on the ground. That is, in each settlement a correspondent point should be organized. The organizer of the settlement, or someone on his own initiative must declare himself, declare to the Anastasia Fund that he is the person with whom you can communicate and receive information. This person must be registered in the fund. The foundation does not know everyone. It may happen that a person can give misinformation.
This is this simple matter, which is a routine one, but it needs to be implemented immediately. This will give a very serious impulse. I ask you, when you return home, to make correspondent points in your settlements.
This work should begin on a voluntary basis. Later we will hold a training seminar, seminar on photography, journalism and technology. Then all this can already go to paid work. Or it will be paid to a particular person who will cover the events, or it will be sent to the settlements. Let it be small money, let it be a hundred rubles, and then it will be one hundred thousand, maybe … after a while.
This will give, I think, a very serious shift. First, people will be able to see what is happening.
You do not need to talk about some super-events, but you need to tell how Marya Ivanovna starts planting her own patches on this beautiful day, and what she did. You can talk about many different directions. But I, for starters, will tell you about an action that needs to be implemented, which will help us all.
We need to set up correspondent points in the settlements, create reports on successes and send them to the Fund for broadcasting.

Q: how to detect other languages (non-Latin) except in English in a text column in PostgreSQL? I have a table with two columns: one is id and another one is a text column. I want to keep only the rows that the text value is in English.
The languages I am talking about, are the ones that use non Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese and Cyrillic.
This question has been asked around 2012, and I was wondering if there is some new solution rather dealing with it in another programming languages!

A: It is not an easy problem. There are several libraries for language detection out there (e.g. langdetect), but they don't work inside the database, so you'd have to process all records by selecting them out, processing them in another language then deleting if they fail the test. Furthermore, the accuracy is not great, and decreases as text gets shorter; if your texts are just a couple of words, the accuracy is pretty horrible.

Q: push origin HEAD error Le hice un git clone a un repositorio alojado en github:
$ git clone https://github.com/USUARIO/REPOSITORIO.git

Luego le hice un git fetch --all para pasarme a la rama dev:
$ git fetch --all
$ git checkout dev

Para cerciorarme de que estuviera en dev:
$ git branch
*dev
master

Ahora bien, mi problema es que quiero trabajar dicho repositorio con un usuario en específico para lo cual ejecuté:
$ git config user.email MI_USUARIO_ESPECIFICO@ejemplo.com
$ git config user.name MI_USUARIO_ESPECIFICO

Revisé el archivo local de configuración de git el cual me devolvió correctamente:
$ cat .git/config
[user]
    email = MI_USUARIO_ESPECIFICO@ejemplo.com
    name = MI_USUARIO_ESPECIFICO

Añadí un archivo al proyecto:
$ git add assets/js/dependencies/jquery.min.js

Le hice su respectivo commit la cual hizo correctamente:
$ git commit -m "Dependencia jQuery añadida"

Procedí a hacer su push origin HEAD
$ git push origin HEAD

Y me devolvió este error:
remote: Permission to USUARIO/REPO.git denied to MI_USUARIO_GLOBAL.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/USUARIO/REPO.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

¿No debería pedirme las credenciales del USUARIO_ESPECIFICO?
¿A qué se debe este error y cómo puedo corregirlo?

NOTA

Estoy seguro que el repositorio existe y el USUARIO_ESPECIFICO ya tiene permisos en el mismo

A: Amigo, si estas utilizando una distribucion linux, solo necesitas ejecutar el comando:
$ git push origin HEAD

Con permisos de usuario, por ejemplo si usas ubuntu o alguno basado en el:
$ sudo git push origin HEAD

me ha pasado, y creo que ese es el problema, Saludos! :)

A: El problema puede ser el protocolo, prueba lo siguiente, edita .git/config y dentro de la sección [remote "origin"] busca lo siguiente:
url=https://github.com/USUARIO/REPO.git

Y cambia http por ssh o git, así:
url=ssh://github.com/USUARIO/REPO.git

o
url = git@github.com/USUARIO/REPO.git

Si el problema es el protocolo, eso debería solucionar el problema.

A: Ya que comienzas haciendo un clon del repositorio:
git clone https://github.com/USUARIO/REPOSITORIO.git

ese repositorio pertenece al usuario cuyo nombre aparece en la url, ("USUARIO" en este caso).
Posteriores push intentarán hacerlo sobre ese mismo repositorio, por lo que te pedirá las credenciales del "USUARIO" que figura en esa ruta.
El que hayas especificado mediante git config user.email y git config user.name unos datos, no cambia para nada que la URL del repositorio remoto al que harás PUSH pertenece a otro usuario. Los datos especificados mediante git config sólo sirven para identificar a quién hace los commit (de modo que si el "USUARIO" del repositorio lo compartiera contigo y te diera permisos para hacer push, cuando hagas esos push aparecerán con tu nombre en vez del suyo, pues varios programadores pueden colaborar en un mismo repositorio).
Asumo que no es el caso en que "USUARIO" pueda darte permisos para acceder a su repositorio. Por tanto lo que tienes que hacer es:

*

*Desde Github ingresar con tu propio "USUARIO_ESPECIFICO".

*Con la sesión iniciada en Github usar el navegador web para ir a https://github.com/USUARIO/REPOSITORIO

*Pulsar el botón "fork".

*Esto creará una copia de ese repositorio, pero en tu cuenta, es decir, hará aparecer el repositorio https://github.com/USUARIO_ESPECIFICO/REPOSITORIO
A partir de aquí, en tu máquina de desarrollo harás un clon de tu copia:
git clone https://github.com/USUARIO_ESPECIFICO/REPOSITORIO.git

El resto sería como planteas en tu pregunta. En el momento de hacer push te pedirá las credenciales de USUARIO_ESPECIFICO porque ese es el propietario del repositorio clonado.
Bonus
Por cierto que los cambios que subas a github mediante push irán lógicamente a tu copia del repositorio (tu fork) sin afectar a lo que hubiera en el repositorio original https://github.com/USUARIO/REPOSITORIO.
Si quieres que tus cambios se integren en ese otro repositorio, ya que no tienes permisos para hacerlo, debes pedirlo a su propietario que sea él quien los integre. Para eso existen los llamados "Pull requests". El propietario original recibirá un "Pull request" en el que podrá ver qué cambios has hecho en tu fork y decidir si aceptarlos e integrarlos en el suyo.
Este es el modelo de colaboración en proyectos de código abierto.

How Parents Can Help Autistic Children Make Sense of their World
August 8, 2017 | By Allyssa McCabe
Glenn, a high-functioning seventeen-year-old with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), comes home from school and tells his mother at dinner, "Allen was mean today." His mother debates what to do. Should she ask for more details or let the subject drop? She knows that Glenn is not much of a storyteller.
Personal narratives are commonplace, and many people don't realize just how important they are. What really happened when we ran into that truck? How did we feel when it happened? Personal narratives are the memories we share about the experiences we've had, and the primary way we make sense of those experiences.
As a researcher, I've studied many aspects of the way children develop narrative skills, and have discovered that personal narrative is a common stumbling block for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Fortunately, parents of children with ASD can help them improve these skills, becoming better storytellers and helping them make sense of the world around them.
Personal Narrative in Education
Personal narrative is a vital part of child development. A child's ability to tell a story when entering kindergarten predicts fourth-, seventh- and tenth-grade reading abilities. When children interact with pediatricians who want to know how they hurt themselves, they tell a personal narrative. It's also how children tell parents and other authority figures when something has upset them.
Previous research has found that children's narratives are shaped in conversations with parents. For instance, if parents ask their preschoolers lots of questions about actions (what happened and when), their children typically wind up telling action-packed narratives. If parents are instead interested in who said what to whom, their children wind up telling narratives filled with dialogue.
While most children develop narrative without special attention to those skills, some children lag behind their peers and could benefit from assistance. Several years ago, I worked with psychology professor Carole Peterson to develop an intervention to improve the narration of preschoolers at risk for academic underachievement due to poverty.
We randomly assigned half the parents to a program where we told them how important narrative was and how to improve their children's narrative abilities. The other parents were asked to talk with their children as they usually did. After one year, children whose parents were in the intervention had significantly higher vocabularies than children in the control condition. In two years, the intervention children told significantly better narratives than their control peers.
Personal Narrative and Autism
Individuals with typical development can tell a complete, lively, engaging personal narrative by the time they're six years old. Autism, however, affects how people are able to tell narratives.
In my research with psychologist Ashleigh Hillier, we found that individuals with ASD – even those who function at a high level – tell personal narratives significantly less well than peers with typical development. In fact, the narrative skills of individuals with ASD are often years behind developmentally, even into their 20's and beyond.
Some people with ASD tell very minimal narratives – like Glenn, above. Others with ASD tell rambling, almost incoherent narratives that mostly involve their own special interests and are off-putting to others.
Hillier and I developed an intervention to improve narration in young people with ASD, adapting the work I did with parents of preschoolers for parents of young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
We invited 10 families with 15- to 25-year-old, high-functioning individuals with ASD to participate in our pilot program. Half were randomly selected for the intervention, half to a wait-list comparison group. We collected narratives from the young people in both groups, along with an assessment by the parents of their child's narrative ability. During a three-hour training session, the intervention group received a set of instructions, including:
Talk to your son/daughter frequently and consistently about past experiences.
Spend a lot of time talking about each topic. Give them plenty of time to respond, do not rush them.
Be sure to always ask your son/daughter to describe how he or she felt about an experience.
Ask plenty of wh- questions (who, which, how, why, etc.) and few "yes/no" questions. Ask questions about the context or setting of the events, especially where and when they took place.
Always ask your son/daughter how an experience wound up.
Listen carefully to what your son/daughter is saying, and encourage elaboration with simple responses or by repeating what your son/daughter has just said.
Follow your son/daughter's lead, but avoid questions that derail narrative in favor of your son/daughter's special interests.
The parents made recordings of their conversations for one year and were then invited back to discuss their experiences. We also collected their post-intervention ratings of their sons' and daughters' narrative ability.
Storytelling Can Be Learned
Our pilot research succeeded: Most parents in the intervention group substantially improved their way of talking about past experiences with their children.
A month later, the young people whose parents participated in the intervention produced more elaborate narratives, with some parents doubling the length of their conversations with their children. These parents reported a significant improvement in their child's narration and were also surprised to see the difference it made in their ability to communicate with their sons and daughters with ASD.
Personal narratives are important for children, but they become even more important as children grow up. They are a key way people form relationships – or even testify in court against those who have wronged them.
There is no such thing as a born storyteller. But with the right strategies, individuals with ASD can be helped to tell better stories. We look forward to expanding our project to document how improvements in narration positively affect relationships between parents and children.
More resources for parents of children with autism can be found at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell Center for Autism Research and Education (CARE).

Matrix Lane Jewellery is a treasure trove of intricately designed, one of a kind, bespoke jewels. Opening just four months ago, the store has received enthusiastic reviews from Toowoomba locals. At first glance the shop looks similar to an ordinary jewellery store, but the store is a treasure trove of hard to find knickknacks and jewels.
The store specialises in opal jewellery, a stone with which Matrix Lane owner Dennie Fickling has a long history and fascination. The opals are handcrafted and designed, with affection and appreciation of the stone by Dennie himself. Inspiration for the design of the jewellery is informed by the stone, he says. "The jewellery is made for the opal," says Dennie. "With opals each piece is different and normally it's a different shape. I just try and do what is good for the shape of the opal. I figure out if I should use silver or gold; or if I want to add diamonds."
Dennie is not the average opal jeweller. He cuts and polishes his opals from the ruff, and has approximately 18 years of experience with opals. His family owned an opal mine dating back to the 1880s in central Queensland for approximately 10 years, which is where his interest in the fiery glistening stones began. The stones Dennie uses in his pieces are mined by his family. "I get most of my opals from my brother who mines them out at the Winton opal fields," says Dennie. Winton is one of the two major opal fields in Queensland; the other field is Quilpie.
The store displays a variety of boulder opals that are only found in Queensland. The Australian boulder opal is mined from iron stone boulders under the ground. Beyond jewellery, the store sells a range of ceramic jewellery, with Dennie's wife sourcing homewares and clothes, for everyone from children to the elderly.
Dennie says all of the opal jewellery at Matrix Lane Jewellery is one of a kind. "I try to make the designs different, because no two opals are the same. Even if the design of the actual jewellery is the same, the opal will be different."
Dennie is currently looking into expanding Matrix Lane's offerings to include antiques. "I am looking into getting Chinese antique furniture in. Like wooden bowls that are antique from China; they look great," he said. Dennie's love and appreciation for opals is enduring, and remains at the heart of his business.

Because the green tea extract weight loss was explained by naturopathic doctor Lindsey Duncan on the show, has the interest in green coffee is exploding. What was it that made Duncan and Dr. Oz such interest?
16% body fat lost by study participants.
Is Green tea help you lose weight?
Green coffee bean capsules apparently give a huge incentive to lose weight if it is taken daily. The first study that anyone got so excited about looked and checked 16 participants more than 22 weeks found that each of them amazing an average of about 17 pounds lost.
But the real proof was when Dr. Oz has its own study conducted with 100 women from his TV audience, and the results revealed on his show. The women who take birth control pills green coffee got lost twice as much weight as those who received the placebo.
Green coffee beans have something called chlorogenic acid. This acid is the key to its weight-loss benefits, if the signal of your liver burn stored fat first. It also delays the processing of sugar into glucose, so there is less of it in your blood. This allows for more fat burning and not too much glucose is disabled in fat later. So there is an immediate advantage as well as the longer term.
That's exactly what happened with the participants in a recent study on green coffee bean extract by University of Scranton under Joe Vinson. The findings were unveiled at the 243rd meeting of the American Chemical Society national & Exposition (ACP).
Chlorogenic acid is prevalent in green coffee beans, but is destroyed in the roasting process used to coffee drinks, which we are all familiar with. It is therefore important that the process used to switch from the beans in an easily consumed capsule use no heat that can damage the chemical structure and system performance considerably the amount of chlorogenic acid present in the final product.
So if you see that on the label, it is not one of the worthless scam products. Above is what you should expect to see on the label of a quality product.
Green coffee extract is effective in aiding weight loss, but there are many scam companies trying to take advantage of the phenomenal interest in green tea for weight loss. To be sure it is most important to your product from a reliable source of high-quality products.
You should never rush into buying any kind of health supplement. You could just waste your money or worse, end up risking your health to do your homework before buying something.
After much research, we recommend this green coffee extract for its high quality and bang for your buck.
