Application Brief
Rapid LC Analysis of Cephalosporins Using Quasar Biphenyl Column
The aerobic mold which yielded cephalosporin C was found in the sea near a sewage outfall nearby Cagliari harbour, Sardinia, by the Italian pharmacologist Giuseppe Brotzu in July 1945. Since their discovery and subsequent commercialization in 1964, the cephalosporins today are broad-spectrum ß-lactam antibiotics used for the treatment of a number of bacterial conditions including septicaemia, pneumonia and meningitis. The pharmacology of cephalosporins is similar to that of the penicillin class of compounds. This application brief describes use of a Quasar biphenyl column in the analysis of several cephalosporins, a mixture of first and second generation ß-lactam antibiotics.
Rapid and Robust HPLC Analysis of Indoxyl Sulfate Using Quasar C18 Column
Indoxyl sulfate is one of the most extensively studied solutes that accumulates in the plasma when the kidneys fail. Originally called "indican", it was first isolated by Obermayer and Popper in 1911. High concentrations of indoxyl sulfate in blood plasma are known to be associated with the development and progression of a number of pathological conditions including chronic kidney disease and vascular disease. The scientific literature documents the use of older generation C18 columns, using type A silicas. This application brief will illustrate the application of a new generation C18 column, based on type B silica, for the analysis of indoxyl sulfate, Figure 1, as part of a research study to measure the total levels in a simulated blood serum environment.

Q: iPhone send bluetooth message to others users with app installed If I click a button in "Awesome App", is there any way to send a short text message to nearby users who also have "Awesome App" installed?  This could be via bluetooth, wifi, 3g or any other way you smart people can suggest.

A: You can register the app for geo updates, submit the location to your server and when the user sends a message this message will be send to your server, the location is checked and all nearby users receive a push notification with this message.
Also make sure that they can fetch the message from the server as well, as push notification delivery isn't guaranteed.
To update the location of the app you call
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
[self.locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];

If you don't need updates anymore, make sure to call
[self.locationManager stopMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];

Also make sure to set the location value in the info.plist's UIBackgroundModes key.
This will give you locations changes while your app is in the background and, according to the documentation, will even restart your app if it has been terminated.

LASHING OUT
Mom of Harmony Montgomery, 7, hits out at 'bullies' & claims she reported 'abuse & neglect' before girl's disappearance
H. J. Hayes
15:10 ET, Jan 3 2022
Updated: 9:14 ET, Jan 6 2022
THE mother of a missing seven-year-old took to Facebook to defend her actions in the wake of the girl's disappearance, calling out "bullies" who brigaded her in comments on social media.
Crys Renee Sorey posted on Facebook, saying "New Hampshire DCYF failed" her daughter, Harmony Montgomery, and that she had filed "dozens of reports of abuse and neglect."
Harmony's mother pleaded for her safe return on social media
Harmony has not been seen since she was five years old
In the series of posts, Crys insisted that she had been trying to locate her daughter since her initial disappearance.
In all-caps, she wrote, "Myself & her family have filed dozens of reports of abuse & neglect & nothing was done until I called the police & wrote a letter to the NH mayor."
Crys was likely referring to the Manchester, New Hampshire Mayor Joyce Craig.
The mayor received an email in December "primarily regarding issues with follow-up" on Harmony's case from the Division for Children, Youth and Families, but the mayor's office did not confirm if Crys Sorey was the sender.
"I'm calling on all my guardian angels to surround my baby & keep her safe & bring her home to me & her brothers," Crys also posted, with a photo collage of Harmony and some of her siblings.
In one comment, she said that she was not yet "allowed" to say more about the details of the disappearance and that she would not share information that might interfere with the investigation.
In another post, she asked those on her profile to also keep watch for Harmony's father, Adam Montgomery.
It's not clear if Adam Montgomery is connected to Harmony's disappearance or what his current relationship with Crys Renee Sorey is.
Along with photos of Harmony and information about the disappearance, Crys also called out a "bully" who had argued with her in the comments of a post.
She labeled him an "irrelevant loser."
Crys Renee Sorey posted about her missing daughter on Facebook
The man apparently called Crys's past into question, making allusions to drug use and a history of poor behavior.
"My daughter is missing & this is what ppl are focusing on?!" Crys wrote.
"Throwing my past on front street & trying to make it look like I don't care!"
Seven-year-old Harmony Montgomery has not been seen since October 2019 when cops were called to a home in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Police Chief Allen Aldenberg told a press conference on December 31 that the city's police department only became aware of her disappearance in the past week.
"For us to have a two-year delay, that is extremely concerning," Aldenberg said.
"That's not something that happens to us on a regular basis. It doesn't happen every day."
The police chief also revealed that "many family members" have been spoken to as the investigation continues.
However, it is unclear if Harmony's mother has spoken with investigators, and if so, to what extent.
Police announced they intend to provide an update on Harmony's case on January 3, at 4pm EST.

Say No More
BUY THE BOOK (now in paperback!)
Her career is all about the truth—but now, keeping silent may be her last chance to stay alive.
When Boston reporter Jane Ryland reports a hit and run, she soon learns she saw more than a car crash—she witnessed the collapse of an alibi, and now she's under pressure to tell all to the police. She's also digging up the inside scoop for an expose of sexual assaults on Boston's college campuses for the station's new documentary unit, and is working with a victim to reveal her heartbreaking experience on camera. But, a disturbing anonymous message—SAY NO MORE—has Jane really and truly scared. Who is supposed to keep quiet? And why?
Homicide detective Jake Brogan is on the hunt for the murderer of Avery Morgan, a hot-shot Hollywood screenwriter. Her year as a college guest lecturer just ended at the bottom of her swimming pool in the tight-knit and tight-lipped Boston community called The Reserve. As Jake chips his way through a code of silence as shatterproof as any street gang, he'll learn that one newcomer to the neighborhood may have a secret of her own.
A young woman faces a life-changing decision—should she go public about her assault? What's really going on behind closed doors at a prestigious Boston college? And will the killer strike again? Jane and Jake—now semi-secretly engaged and beginning to reveal their relationship to the world—are both on a high-stakes quest for answers as they try to balance the consequences of the truth.

"Ryan does it again... A fast-paced, edgy mystery that seems ripped from the headlines."
—Library Journal starred review
"Jane Ryland and Jake Brogan are at it again in award-winning Ryan's brilliant account of the perils of an inquisitive journalist and police detective. She painstakingly lays the groundwork for an exceptional multifaceted procedural. All of her characters are thoroughly developed as they wend their way to the various subplots. The conclusion is totally unexpected."
"Say No More is downright superb! A rocket-paced thriller with one of the most compelling casts in recent literary history, this novel takes us deep into the fascinating world where journalism and crime collide. And what a hero we have in Jane Ryland! A word of warning, though: You might get dizzy from the abundant twists and turns."
"One of Ryan's super powers as a writer is to infuse her books with a real heart-on-the-sleeve quality... While she's a thriller writer with the complex, intertwining plotting skills of the best of them, her heartfelt way of telling a story and making the reader bond with her characters sets her apart.
As Ryan skillfully weaves together the threads of her complex plot I was captured, as always, by the sheer narrative, but I was also engaged emotionally... It's a reason to spread the news of this book as far and wide as possible."
—Robin Agnew, Aunt Agatha's Bookstore
"Engrossing. The action builds as the tension mounts to a conclusion that thrills and gratifies."
"Another compelling entry in a series known for timely social issues and realistic danger."

The Atmospheric Effects of Stratospheric Aircraft Project : An Interim Review of Science and Progress PDF
by National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Environment and Resources Commission on Geosciences, Panel on Atmospheric Effects of Aviation
Scientists and policy-makers alike are concerned that operation of a fleet of high-speed civil transport (HSCT) aircraft could significantly affect the global atmosphere. HSCT emissions may have a direct effect on the chemistry of the atmosphere, leading to changes in the distribution of ozone; they may also have indirect effects on ozone and on global climate through coupling with radiative and dynamical processes in the atmosphere. An assessment of the atmospheric impact of a fleet of HSCTs thus requires not only an understanding of the chemistry of the natural stratosphere and its possible perturbations by HSCT emissions, but also an understanding of the pathways for transport of HSCT emissions within the atmosphere, and the resulting temporal and spatial distribution of HSCT emissions.
The results of NASA's Atmospheric Effects of Stratospheric Aircraft (AESA) project were summarized in a 1995 NASA assessment. The present report looks at that summary and at more recent work to evaluate the state of the science. AESA has made good progress in the past few years. Satellite and aircraft observations have elucidated important aspects of large-scale transport processes. Field campaigns have provided a much better picture of the relative importance, below 20 km altitude, of the major catalytic cycles for ozone destruction. Careful intercomparisons of assessment models have led to reduction of some of the differences among the models. However, a number of uncertainties and inconsistencies still remain.

Andre Reed pays tribute to Chuck Bednarik in his return to the Lehigh Valley
By Keith Groller
Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Andre Reed speaks at the Danny Khalouf Memorial Scholarship Banquet at the Days Hotel in Allentown on Sunday. (MICHAEL KUBEL, THE MORNING CALL)
Toughness. Determination. Perseverance.
Those are the qualities that defined Chuck Bednarik's life. And they are the same elements that drove Andre Reed to greatness.
On the same weekend that the Lehigh Valley lost one of its Pro Football Hall of Famers, another one came back home and took time to pay tribute.
During his speech Sunday night at the Danny E. Khalouf Memorial Scholarship banquet at the Days Hotel, Reed took time to pay his sympathies to the Bednarik family and praise the legendary "Concrete Charlie."
Reed called him a "true pioneer" and mentioned that Bednarik was one of the last "60-minute men."
"Here's a guy who flew missions over Nazi Germany in World War II and won a title with the Eagles in 1960 and he epitomized what the word sacrifice is all about; not just in the game of football but also for freedom and democracy in this country," Reed said. "He's going to be missed."
Reed later said he had a chance to meet Bednarik in 2012 at the Lehigh County Hall of Fame ceremony at the Allentown Fairgrounds and said it was like talking to Jim Brown.
"I definitely feel a connection to him," Reed said. "He was a pioneer; a guy who molded the game. It was an honor to talk to him, especially being that he was from the Lehigh Valley."
Reed was in Atlantic City last weekend for the Maxwell Club Awards, which always presents a defensive player award in honor of Bednarik.
After a whirlwind 2014 that changed his life forever with ceremonies, dedications, speaking engagements, and, of course the trip to Canton in the summer that featured his enshrinement into the Hall of Fame, Reed said that things have "calmed down a little bit."
"I actually had to sit myself down because it was just too much at one point," he said. "It has cooled down a little bit and I'm glad it has. I just needed to take two or three months off. I'm sure things will pick up again once the football season rolls around."
Reed said he feels an obligation to his hometown community and was honored to be asked to speak at the Khalouf banquet, which honors the memory of someone who, like Reed, was achieving great things in his life. Except that Khalouf's life was tragically cut short at the age of 27.
Khalouf was a 1994 Dieruff High and 1998 Muhlenberg College graduate who died on March 20, 2004, in a horrific car accident that also took the life of three other friends. The accident was caused by a drunk driver.
Khalouf graduated in 2001 from Temple University with a law degree and had become an assistant district attorney in Lehigh County in 2002.
The Danny Khalouf scholarship program was established in 2004 by Danny's mother with the goal of keeping Danny's memory alive.
In the 11 years of the memorial fund, 71 scholarships have been presented to Dieruff High graduates totaling more than $37,500.
This year's winners, selected from a list of 19 applicants, included Antonyous Chakif, who will attend Lehigh to major in engineering; Wendell Cupid II (Lehigh or Penn State for engineering); Enrique Nguyen (Temple for engineering); Rachel Okune (Temple for biology, chemistry, pre-med); Benedi Polanco (Kutztown for business) and Katrina Rodriguez (Temple for nursing).
The Robert D. Rosner scholarship recipient is Angela Youwakim, who will attend Strayer University and major in criminal justice.
"As an athlete you sometimes get caught up in just what the athletics mean," Reed said. "But you're a student first. You don't get to be a student-athlete without being a student first and it's great to see these kids earning scholarships with bright futures. This is a testament of kids working and having dreams and goals in their life. They just have to put the right foot forward and go for it."
Reed certainly went for it in his career and received the ultimate honor in his profession.
Mike Makhoul, Dieruff's assistant principal, introduced Reed and said he was an example of toughness and resiliency.
And Reed said Khalouf had the same traits.
"I never met Danny, but I've learned a lot about him and he was obviously a great guy," Reed said. "He lives within these kids and that's what these scholarships are all about."
Elias Atiyeh, Khalouf's uncle, said that many of the past scholarship recipients have gone on to successful careers as doctors, lawyers, and other notable professions and they have come back to speak on behalf of the foundation.
"Dieruff kids have to work harder than other kids to excel and they do," Atiyeh, owner of A&E Diagnostic and Repair Center, said. "I'm a perfect example of a Dieruff graduate who achieved success."
Reed said that he'll be coming home for his annual golf tournament to benefit the Allentown Boys and Girls Club on the final weekend of June.
This year, his tournament will be headquartered in downtown Allentown at the Renaissance Hotel.
"We're really involved with the downtown and what's happening there," Reed said. "We were at the Sands the last few years and that's OK, but we really want to be involved with the new arena, those new buildings and everything that's happening in downtown Allentown."

Ten Reasons Why Physician Burnout is so Prevalent.
May 20, 2018 smenelawsdoctor suicide, naval ravikant, physician burnout, tim ferriss, wellbeing Leave a comment
'If you study even the smallest bit of science, you will realize that, for all practical purposes, we are nothing. We're basically monkeys on a small rock, orbiting a small, backwards star in a huge galaxy, which is an absolutely staggeringly gigantic universe, which itself may be part of a gigantic multiverse. This universe has been around for probably 10 billion years or more, and will be around for tens of billions of years afterwards. So your existence, my existence, is just infinitesimal…this is such a short and precious life, it is really important that you don't spend it being unhappy. There is no excuse for spending most of your life in misery. You've only got 70 years out of the 50 billion or however long the universe is going to be around.'
Naval Ravikant in Tools of Titans, by Tim Ferris
On Thursday, I was given the last-minute, unexpected opportunity to give a two-minute pitch about my concept to help reduce rates of stress, burnout, and suicide amongst doctors (and later other professions), and how to increase their wellbeing. As a doctor talking about this issue, I do have a sense of not wanting to make a storm in a teacup. I don't want to dramatise the situation, as serious as it is. I feel it deserves to be approached with gravitas and pragmatism, without any hint of emotion.
But then, I think, 'What the f**k? Why are doctors killing themselves?' It's a privileged position to be a doctor in the west, no matter which way you look at it. It means that the person has had access to excellent education, has personal attributes to undertake this arduous education, and are, in most cases, guaranteed a job for life, with salaries that are dependable and will provide a secure income. If the doctors are committing suicide, who is going to look after the suffering?
Working in psychiatry, I am faced with suicidality on a daily basis. Suicidality as a symptom of mental illness. Suicidality as an expression of emotional overwhelm and distress. Suicidality with explicable causative factors, and suicidality in the most unlikely of places. The fact is, suicide is one of the saddest plights of the human experience. That one act, or thoughts of, tells a thousand stories of helplessness, hopelessness, guilt, fear, anger, rejection, isolation. It is so contrary to what we consider to be the essence of our human-ness: being hope-finding, meaning-creating, resilience-expressing animals. The act separates us from non-homo sapiens (as far as I know). Something about our exquisitely developed prefrontal cortices which have endowed us with the ability for abstract thought, executive decision-making, and meta-cognition, has also made us vulnerable to states of nihilistic hopelessness.
So why do doctors get to this stage? What are the causes for the preceeding burnout and chronic stress? A recent systematic literature review, reported in Medscape, states that physicians experience the highest suicide rate of any profession, more than twice that of the general population, and over 400 doctors a year suicide in the US. The Australia beyondblue study of medical student and doctor mental wellbeing in 2013 identified that 24.8% of physicians had thoughts of suicide prior to the past 12 months, and 10.4% had thoughts within the last 12 months.
So, here are a summary of what I think are the main factors contributing to chronic stress and burnout, in no particular order:
Doctors have an inherently stressful job. Buddhist philosophy suggests that our main motivation in our natural state is escaping suffering – which, ironically, it argues, creates more suffering. This helps us to understand and empathise with others if we accept that everyone is just doing their best to escape suffering. We can all probably see this in our lives: we work to have money to avoid going hungry or being homeless; we maintain strong social bonds to avoid loneliness. A doctor's (and many other professions', some of whom have similar issues with burnout) job is intrinsically tied to engaging in the depths of human suffering. Day in, day out, the job requires engaging with people's pain, unhappiness, loneliness, fear, worry, depression, and disappointment.
Lack of autonomy. Doctors exist in a constant tension between a) the resources available to them from the health provider; b) what a patient wants; c) what a patient needs; d) what a patient can afford, or what a provider will pay for for a patient; e) legislative and social expectations of what health should/should not do.
Complexity of healthcare delivery. Long gone are the days when a patient attends for a straightforward prescription, or for a surgery – or neither if they cannot afford them. A doctor must dance a complex rhumba which involves a multitude of invested stakeholders. These are informed by international, national, and local recommendations and protocols; by the payers for the health service; by the local service's resources; by the patient's wishes. And this often requires a decision to be made in a short period of time looking at an individual patient with their unique requirements and biopsychosocial factors affecting their illness experience. The paradox of choice in treatment is increasing at break-neck speed, and humans struggle to keep up.
Sandwiching. Related to the above. A term I use to describe doctors being caught between patients and the service or provider or political power behind them, and having to mediate that complex relationship.
Evolving nature of healthcare delivery. Doctors are having to become adept practitioners of a new digital world. Again, instead of dealing with the individual patient in front of her, the doctor now has to refer to, record, and involve a litany of digital material via electronic health records. Whilst the glitches are many as they are embedded, many doctors would agree that it may benefit patient care in the long run. But another layer of administration has been added to doctors' jobs.
Leadership. Leadership within healthcare often comes from a) clinicians who have been in the game a long time, but may not have had formal management training; or, b) non-medical managers who transfer management skills from other sectors. I would argue that management does need to be taught, it is not an intrinsic character trait, and I would argue that healthcare is different from most other sectors in that the commodification of health has multiple ethical and moral considerations. This is not to say that these divides are not successfully crossed; but a lack on either front can exacerbate the stressful expectations of doctors.
Personality types that self-select for medicine. This is perhaps the biggest generalisation here but most good doctors (and we are still working out how to screen that 'good' and define what it means), have traits that are associated with high rates of conscientiousness, diligence, integrity, and empathy. These are also traits which are associated with neurosis in its original form: excessive anxiety or obsessiveness. Laissez-faire, non-obsessive doctors tend to come up against issues very early on in their careers which can have negative effects on patient care. These traits emphasise the, 'I better not get this wrong', 'what if XYZ happens? How do I prevent this?', or, 'the negative sequelae of this action – or lack of action – could – or could not be – XYZ.' Essentially, medicine requires working with vast swathes of uncertainty and uknowns, and reassuring a patient in the midst of that, and finding out what can be known, actioning it, and avoiding complications in that course of action.
Shiftwork. There is no need to reiterate the multiple studies and bodies of evidence which outline how bad shiftwork is for physical and mental health in the long run. Now imagine handling an apnoeic (not breathing) neonate at 3am, or repairing a bleeding aneurysm, or talking down a psychotic patient. The effects are inevitable.
Work intensity and competing demands. After five to eight years of undergraduate study, doctors embark on a baptism of fire into life as a junior doctor. This can be anywhere from one to four years, which is then followed by training under a specialist pathway (general practice, psychiatry, general surgery, ophthalmology, etc), which can range anywhere from three to 8 years. Many specialties require onerous exams – which must be studied for for months whilst working full-time, and costs thousands of dollars at a time, paid from a trainee doctor's salary. Resits are incredibly demoralising as doctors have put their lives on hold to study for them. Many will also have research requirements, which may need to be done on top of the 'day' job, or may need time away from the training scheme with a reduced salary. Many doctors will be starting a family during this time, which puts a particular pressure on female trainees (in general), who have to decide how much (if any) time to take away from time-limited training schemes. People are also doing other life 'stuff' expected in their respective societies: getting on the property ladder, for example. And many have other commitments: carer role for children or a spouse or a parent with a serious illness. All the while working in a job with shiftwork and all the issues listed above.
The normalisation of chronic stress and vicarious trauma. Finally, doctors are exposed to trauma on a daily basis. This may involve the death of children, or losing a patient unexpectedly, or watching people decline through chronic illness. It can involve seeing people self-harm, and listening to endless stories of every type of abuse under the sun. It can involve hearing about and observing some of the darkest parts of humanity. Unfortunately, the evolution of the culture within medicine has been centuries in the making. There is a hardening and desensitisation expected. The fragile, flimsy line between self-preservation and displaying compassion and empathy is often trodden upon and unrecognisable. People glorify the hours and disasters and trauma and awfulness at times, as a way of coping. Burnt out colleagues, often those who have been in the game a long time, have become so depersonalised and emotionally exhausted themselves that they lack insight into their own dearth of emotional connection. They then externalise anyone else's difficulty processing something, or a throw away comment about the amount of hours worked, as being a sign of 'not coping' and advise them to suck it up because, 'When I was a junior doctor I worked 110 hours a week.' I often feel like holding up a mirror and saying, 'Yes. Yes you did.' The evidence suggests that even with improvement in absolute working hours for some doctors, that stress and burnout have increased. In light of the above issues, I understand why.
It may sound rather bleak, but my own burnout has receded far enough that I have hope. I believe that human connection amongst colleagues can provide relief and strength. I believe that radical transparency, as described by Ray Dalio, can save us from repeating the closed-up, ever-more-cautious, more overwhelmed by the paradox of choice that the modern medical paradigm presents. I believe that medical culture can change. I believe that its leaders can adapt. I believe that empowered patients can better share the risk and unknownness of their own health and healthcare. I believe that AI and VR can get to a stage that some of the mechanised parts of modern medicine – digital health records, diagnostic algorithms contained in doctors' heads – can become part of the doctor-patient interaction. Doctors are humans, and their humanness needs to be prized and protected. Patients deserve nothing less when they see their healthcare provider. As Naval Ravikant said, we have so little time in which to live. Let's make it count, and make it enjoyable.

The best services for streaming music Free and paid
The situation has changed a lot compared to the times when to listen to our favorite music it was necessary to buy several discs or download thousands of mp3 songs and organize them. All these methods have now been supplanted by instreaming music, which allows you to access tens of millions of songs in one way simple and quick.
The novelty so comfortable that it quickly entered the habits of millions of people, and today it is music streaming a consolidated reality. Most people now know Spotify, but this is not the only solution on the market that offers many valid competitors, each of which allows you to listen to streaming music on Android and iOS, as well as on a flood of other platforms, such as PCs, smart TVs, consoles and modern cars equipped with an integrated smart system.
In the next paragraphs we will elaborate on where you should listenstreaming songs, with the best version services available Free it's at payment, how they work and the relative prices, starting from the most famous service, that is Spotify and to follow all the alternative services, leaving out the low quality services.
Music Streaming: the best services
Please note that this is not a ranking in order of importance but dedicated to all those streaming music services that we have tried and whose characteristics you can know: both in free version (with often present limitations and advertising intervals) and in version payment with generally monthly / annual subscriptions.
Even the e-commerce giant has launched into the lucrative world of online music streaming with excellent service with an impressive catalog. Unlike the two competing solutions mentioned above, Amazon Music Unlimited does not have a free listening mode.
It offers two versions:
The basic rate was 9.99 per month (often discounted for 3 months at 99 cents), which offers unlimited streaming in high quality and the possibility of downloading songs for offline listening. Prime subscribers are entitled to two months free each year.
That family that costs 14.99 per month and allows access to 6 accounts simultaneously. Again, Prime subscribers are entitled to two months for free each year.
It is a young service,but very good, which is enjoying moderate success. The Cupertino giant has recovered much of the disadvantage it had compared to rival platforms with the acquisition of Beats. The maximum quality available 256 kbps, more than enough to satisfy even those looking for a good quality of reproduction, and interesting is the radioBeats 1 station which sees the constant participation of important guests and famous DJs. Apple's popular music streaming service does not offer any free versions. Here are the plans available:
Individual, at 9.99 per month (first three months free) you will have everything the platform offers, possibility to download the songs included.
Family, a plan identical to that of competitors at 14.99 per month (first three months free) offers the possibility of using 6 accounts simultaneously.
Students, similarly to that of Spotify, a discounted plan for students, who will thus pay an individual account 4.99, also possible to have a 3-month free trial.
The music streaming service by Google born in 2011. It offers a good number of songs and many convenient functions. For obvious reasons, the service is more integrated with the Android system. It offers good playback quality up to 320 kbps and a good number of songs. You can use Play Music with different plans, without subscription, through the site and the app. You can stream and download only your music uploaded to the cloud (up to 50 thousand songs).
The available plans are:
Play Music Personal, which gives access to streaming songs and convenient online radios. The price is the usual 9.99 per month.
Play Music Family the usual family subscription that at 14.99 allows 6 accounts to use the service simultaneously.
To access the offers, open the Play Music website and then click on Shop / Shop in the sidebar.
YouTube is obviously the reference on-demand video platform but many users have always used it exclusively for listening to music and mp3.
The colossus certainly could not stay and watch after many streaming music services came out, and here was born YouTube Music, a service still little known in Italy but certainly at the level of others in terms of the offer and availability of the albums.
The Free version of YouTube allows listening to songs with advertising and if you use the app on iPhone or Android, the latter must be in the foreground for listening. Instead, there are plans that are completely ad-free and dedicated to families. Not to be confused with the subscription called "YouTube Premium" which is aimed at those who are also interested in the video platform. The confusion arises from the fact that the Music service also has the premium denomination.
So let's see the offers dedicated exclusively to streaming music:
YouTube Music Premium: trial for 1 month and then 9.99 allows background listening through apps available on phone stores, listening to music without advertising and especially offline (without internet connection).
YouTube Music Premium Family: the characteristics of the previous "family format" subscription: allows 6 people to use the same subscription to hear music via the Music platform. The price in this case of 14.99 (attention to the limitation imposed on the use by the six people who must be "in the same place".
To learn more about the features of the service offered, read our article: Everything on YouTube Music.

Q: Как сравнить вывод со своей строкой Есть такой код
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    char password[]={'a','b','c'};
    char abc[] = new char[]{'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'};//множество допустимых символов
    int size = 3;//кол-во элементов
    int arr[] = new int[size];//массив для хранения текущего варианта множества

    outer: while(true){//вечный цикл

    //вывод варианта множества на экран
    for(int ndx : arr){
        System.out.print(abc[ndx]);
    }

    System.out.println();
    int i = size - 1;  //ставим курсов в самую правую ячейку
    while(arr[i] == abc.length - 1){  //движемся влево, если ячейка переполнена
        arr[i] = 0; //записываем в ячейку 0, т.к. идет перенос разряда
        i--;  //сдвиг влево
        //если перенос влево невозможен, значит перебор закончен
        if(i < 0)break outer;
}
        arr[i]++;//увеличиваем значение ячейки на единицу
    }
}}

Мне задали чтобы я сравнил мой массив password с генерацией всех символов, здесь у меня генерируются все комбинации по 3 символа, можно менять размер int size на любой нужный размер. Так вот я ввел свой массив пароля и мне нужно сравнить его со всеми комбинациями и если есть совпадения то остановить программу, и еще засечь время выполнения этого сравнения через. Уже сижу целую неделю не могу допереть. Кто нибудь знает как делать))

A: Примерно так:
public static void main(String[]args){

    char password[]={'a','d','d'};
    char abc[] = new char[]{'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'};//множество допустимых символов
    int size = 3;//кол-во элементов
    int arr[] = new int[size];//массив для хранения текущего варианта множества

    String varPw="";

    outer: while(true){//вечный цикл
        if(varPw.length()==size){
            if(varPw.equals(String.valueOf(password))){
                System.out.println("password = " + varPw);
                break;
            }
        }

        varPw = "";

        //вывод варианта множества на экран
        for(int ndx : arr){
            varPw += abc[ndx];
            System.out.print(abc[ndx]);
        }

        System.out.println();
        int i = size - 1;  //ставим курсов в самую правую ячейку
        while(arr[i] == abc.length - 1){  //движемся влево, если ячейка переполнена
            arr[i] = 0; //записываем в ячейку 0, т.к. идет перенос разряда
            i--;  //сдвиг влево
            //если перенос влево невозможен, значит перебор закончен
            if(i < 0)break outer;
        }
        arr[i]++;//увеличиваем значение ячейки на единицу
    }
}

This was advertised with the tagline "See the Ghastly Ghouls in Flaming Color!" However, most of the movie was in black and white with only the final two reels in color.
Samuel Z. Arkoff wanted Bela Lugosi for the lead in this film. Lugosi was an influence to Arkoff years before. Unfortunately, Lugosi had died in 1956.
Edward D. Wood Jr. claimed that the idea for this film was originally his.
In one scene the visitors to the studio are told that they are going to be taken to the set of Horrors of the Black Museum (1959). This was an advanced plug for what would be the next film to be produced and written by Herman Cohen.

The Party of Big Money?
Democrats outspend Republicans 3-to-1 in Minnesota
As several recent reports have confirmed, the largest political contributions in Minnesota, as well as throughout the nation, consistently benefit Democrats.
Despite that fact, Democrats like Senator Al Franken are notorious for blaming the Koch brothers and Karl Rove for outrageous campaign spending. This is the big money fallacy.
The truth is that Democrats outspend Republicans by nearly 3-to1 in Minnesota. In fact, $27 million of the $53 million contributed to Minnesota campaigns in recent years was from just 26 donors: 19 of which are Democrats.
The Facts:
Education Minnesota, the public teachers union, contributed $4.8 million to Democrats, since 2007 (Star Tribune)
National and state unions combined to spend $17 million in Minnesota from 2007 to 2012 (Star Tribune).
Minnesota's top individual contributor is left wing activist Alida Messinger, Gov. Dayton's ex-wife and heiress to the Rockefeller fortune, who donated $1.6 million to Democrat political action committees from 2007 to 2012 (Star Tribune).
In 2012 Minnesota Democrats had so much money they ended up spending it illegally AND WERE FINED $100,000, one of the largest fines in Minnesota history.
"Indonesian native Johannes Marliem and his wife, Mai Chie Thor, continue to throw big money [$75,000] at Democrats, even though the couple is surrounded in controversy" (Watchdog.org).
On a national scale, labor unions outspent businesses 2-to-1 in 2013 (Watchdog.org).
"The Koch brothers, by comparison, ranked 59th on Open Secrets' list. The brothers have spent $18 million since 1989, less than 20 percent of what Act Blue has spent since 2004," (Watchdog.org).
"This is one of the best fundraising hauls that the [Democrats] [have] had in an off year," – DFL Chair Ken Martin (Star Tribune)
Despite what Democrats would have you believe, the numbers don't lie. Democrats far outspend Republicans by the millions. Even a small contribution to MNGOP will make a difference in swaying the balance of power in Minnesota government.
Will Al Franken Snub our Increasingly Unpopular President Tomorrow?
Franken Won't Commit To Appearing With Obama
With Barack Obama visiting St. Paul's Union Depot tomorrow, and Democrat Party Chairman Ken Martin saying he is happy to talk about Obamacare, will Al Franken be making any public appearances with the unpopular President?
Franken voted with Obama 100% of the time in 2013 even as the President's approval rating in Minnesota plummeted to an all-time low. On Monday, Franken's office told the NY Daily News that Franken won't commit to appearing publicly with the President in Minnesota tomorrow.
"Al Franken's record is a total rubber-stamping of President Obama's agenda," said RPM Chairman Keith Downey. "Between casting the deciding vote for the Obamacare debacle to supporting President Obama 100% of the time, why wouldn't Al Franken want to welcome the President to Minnesota?"
Many vulnerable Democrat Senators, such as Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) and Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK), are actively avoiding the President on the campaign trail. With Minnesota now a battleground state for control of the Senate, it begs the question if Al Franken will be the next vulnerable Democrat to give Obama the cold-shoulder.
"When Obama speaks Wednesday in St. Paul, Minn., on the economy, Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) 'hopes he can join the President,' a spokesman for the former funnyman said. 'But it's uncertain if his schedule will allow for travel since the Senate is in session.'" (Source: NY Daily News, Feb. 24, 2014)
In 2013, Al Franken Voted With President Obama 100 Percent Of The Time. (CQ Voting Studies – Sen. Al Franken, CQ Roll Call, Updated February 2014)
"When President Barack Obama comes to the Twin Cities on Wednesday, he'll make a stop at Union Depot in St. Paul to discuss transportation and transit issues, a source confirmedSaturday." (Source: St. Paul Pioneer Press, Feb. 22, 2014)
"The trip to discuss the economy comes as his popularity in the state is at an all-time low, with approval from 43 percent of Minnesotans." (Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune, February 20, 2014)
Democrat Machine Politics Condemned by Republican Leaders
Secretary Chris Fields and Chair Keith Downey demand fairness in the rescheduled Democrat precinct caucus in Minneapolis
(Minneapolis, MN) – The Republican Party of Minnesota is condemning what Secretary Chris Fields called "blatant power politics" as Democrats rescheduled the Minneapolis W3-P6 caucus after the largely Somali precinct caucus was disrupted on caucus night.
Democrat Party Chairman Ken Martin's decision to hold the caucus at a location outside the precinct has been criticized, along with his appointment of the caucus conveners rather than allowing the caucus attendees to vote on them.
The Democrats ironically are also requiring caucus attendees to present a form of ID to prove they are eligible to participate.
"This power play by the Democrat establishment will favor 40 year incumbent Phyllis Kahn who is running against a credible Somali candidate for the Democrat endorsement," said Fields. "When Democrats need to protect one of their own, suddenly policies that enhance Voter ID are OK. This isn't where the Democrats were in 2012 when such policies were called racist and an attempt to intimidate voters. While we welcome their about face on this issue, it is truly a shocker."
"These arrangements sure make it look like the Democrat machine is trying to engineer an outcome," said Republican Party Chairman Keith Downey. "And the challenger is hard-pressed to publicly object to the power brokers."
Fields also said, "For the Democrat to demand an ID to participate in a local caucus reeks of utter hypocrisy. The message they are sending is that they believe in fair elections when it suits their interests. The larger lesson for our minority communities is that the DFL will use every tool available to minimize their ability to become truly equal partners in democracy."
"DFL opposition to Voter ID was never rational, and clearly today they embrace it because they know Republicans were right," concluded Fields. "We believe our minority communities have every right to expect a fair and unbiased election process. Unlike today's DFL party, our party is a grassroots organization that respects the will of local communities to determine their own political future."

Add yeast and honey to the water, stir and leave for 15 minutes.
Lightly oil and flour an oven tray or put baking paper down.
Set the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Add the flour and mix well. Dust your hands with flour and separate the dough by half until you have 8 pieces. With more flour on your hands roll these piece lightly into rounds and flatten slightly onto the tray. Don't worry if they look bitty, it adds to their 'crusty-ness'. If you want shaped like these rolls press your shape in now. If you want the rolls shaped you'll need to add more flour at the mixing stage and roll it out instead of half it - cooking times vary to different shapes and sizes though.
Place the tin in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
Place on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, on the internet… Cheezburgers.
