The Life, leadership and legacy of Rabbi Moshe Sofer of Pressburg.
One hundred and eighty years after his passing, he stands tall, a leader for eternity.
The Chasam Sofer would reshape the landscape for Torah Jewry, revealing the power and potency of a rov, the impact of a rosh yeshiva. He would provide a paradigm of leadership, fusing courage and humility, selflessness and determination, passion and generosity: and his imprint would endure.
It would spread across the region, giving the kehillos of Austro-Hungary an example, a kehilla after which they could model themselves: it was a style of rabbanus, an approach to living. He showed the blessing of a yeshiva, the value of talmidei chachamim- and also, the glory of the ordinary citizens and their role, the preciousness of their minhagim.
They longed to imbibe his light: they pleaded with his talmidim to settle among them, to lead them, to protect and defend them. His Torah- psak, drush, hashkafa- became the bedrock of their own approach to avodas Hashem.
From Pressburg, he ruled the Jewish world.
Then he passed away, and his talmidim-and their talmidim- fanned the flames ever-brighter, the presence of the Chasam Sofer seeming to hover above European Jewry for a hundred years.
And when it all collapsed, his inspiration fueled the rebuilding: we would start again, and we wouldn't compromise, wouldn't allow ourselves to believe that anything had changed.
We have an Old Father, the Chasam Sofer would say, and He does not change.
Until today, the Chasam Sofer leads us: in this book, we'll see why, and we'll see how.
With the storyteller's gift, the author makes it feel not like a lesson, but like a story, an enjoyable read: but the experience of soaking in the stories and divrei Torah and rich history will leave you with a clear sense of what this man represented, and what it means for each one of us.
The Chasam Sofer, scribe for eternity, is still teaching us.

In addition to braces, Rice Orthodontics provides patients with retention solutions through the use of retainers. There are many types of retainers and we would be happy to discuss your options with you for ongoing retention and alignment of your teeth.
The Hawley retainer, one of the most common types, is a removable retainer made of a combination of metal wires and sturdy acrylic. The Hawley retainer is designed to keep your teeth in place. This retainer is custom-made from impressions of your teeth so that it fits snugly and comfortably in your mouth, while keeping your teeth in perfect position. The acrylic can also be personalized with a variety of colors and/or patterns.
Bonded lingual retainers are cemented directly to the inside surface of your lower canines (eye teeth). This is one of the best ways to prevent your lower teeth from shifting on a more permanent basis. If your retainer breaks or is lost, call us immediately to schedule an appointment.
The iTero® Scanner is a state of the art scanning system that provides perfect images of your teeth eliminating the need for uncomfortable impressions. Orthodontic treatments based on iTero® Scans result in better fitting aligners and retainers along with quicker, more comfortable appointments and overall treatment plans.


You know what people like to do nowadays?
We all judge – and I don't mean here the wrong kind of evil judging, though in all fairness, that happens far often more that there's the need to.
I'm talking more here about this weird thing where you form an opinion about someone, mostly about strangers, based only on the few moments – sometimes even seconds – of their day you've been a witness to.
It doesn't make much sense to you, does it?
I've reached the conclusion after spending a fair amount of time on a bus. (FYI, I hate buses).
Now, smartphones nowadays are pretty big and even if you don't want to, you still get to see – with the corner of your eye – what the person next to you is doing.
And it horrified me when I realized how quick I am to judge others by what they're looking, scrolling or in some cases, reading.
Then, I take a look at my screen and well, what can I say – team Fluffy Monsters is still going strong, thank you very much.
If we follow my logic here, I don't leave much of an impression on the bus either, huh?
A while back, I wrote a post about judging books by their covers – and I still stand behind the fact that book covers matter.
But my quick – and often times, wrong – impressions on others reminded me that we, humans, like to form opinions about others based solely on the choices people make when it comes to how they spend their free time.
We judge the music others listen to, the movies they watch and – the books they read.
Now, I'm not saying that there aren't certain implications about a person's character following the choices they make regarding those areas – but can you really judge someone's whole personality altogether based on what they decide to do with their free time?
Can you really tell what anyone is like as a person merely on the book that you've seen them with – a book they chose to spend a minor fraction of their life on?
For instance, while I really enjoy reading both fiction & non-fiction history and psychology, I wouldn't mind reading the occasional chick-lit novel – as long as it's funny – in the nearest café with a pink smoothie as large as my head – does that make me plain?
On the other hand, I read plenty of books – both online & offline – regarding business & entrepreneurship – and they're right next to the Harry Potter Complete Collection 7 Books Set Collection J.K.Rowling Hardback Red by Unbranded series on my shelf.
So who am I really? You'd easily make four different impressions about me if you saw me reading four completely different books on four completely different occasions.
But at the end of the day, I'm me, same as the fact that you are you and everyone is well… everyone.
And yet, while I and you and everyone else are aware of the things I've said so far, we still – silently! – judge if someone chooses to read Me Before You rather than A Brief History of Time.
Why don't they do some light reading – take Me Before You, you're on holiday, damn it!
Next time you see someone reading something in public, don't be hasty to judge their reading choices in your mind – especially not if you don't even know them, nor their story, nor how their day is going so far.
Instead, give them a smile – at least they choose to do some reading, unlike many.
Next time, let's talk about what you can do when you can't find anything to read! Is there something YOU would like me to write about? If so, drop us a comment and I'll try to include it in some of my future posts!

Great post as usual Dijana, and you're so right!

Q: Scala non-consecutive sub-array I'm new to Scala.  I see that there's a slice method for Arrays that can return a consecutive slice, like so:
scala> "zero|one|two|three|four|five".split("\\|").slice(2,5)
res3: Array[String] = Array(two, three, four)

Is there syntactic sugar somewhere for taking an arbitrary, non-consecutive, non-ascending sub-array?  Something like:
scala> "zero|one|two|three|four|five".split("\\|").fictionalMethod(4,1,5)
res3: Array[String] = Array(four, one, five)

A: The shortest line using only standard library functions I can think of would be
Array(4, 1, 5) map "zero|one|two|three|four|five".split("\\|")

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Surprised scientists have discovered the remains of a saber-toothed vegetarian.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Surprised scientists have discovered the remains of a saber-toothed vegetarian.
The leaf-crunching animal — about the size of a large dog — lived 260 million years ago in what is now Brazil, researchers report in today's edition of the journal Science. Its upper canine teeth were nearly 5 inches long.
The enormous canines were likely used by the plant-eating animals to fight each other or protect against predators, said research leader Juan Carlos Cisneros.
of the University of Piaui in northeastern Brazil.

I thought I should share my finding of this rather simple process (when you finally get it working) after spending a few hours troubleshooting and researching.
By default vCenter holds its own CA that caters to all moving parts within vSphere. From version 6.0 it's possible to just replace the machine SSL certificate on the VCSA and the external PSC, a model also know as the hybrid model.
Hybrid because it keeps the internal CA for all other functions that don't relate to the machine certificate.

This collection of documents reveals the significance of the years 1968 through 1972 to the environmental movement in the United States. With material ranging from short pieces from the Whole Earth Catalog and articles from The Village Voice to lectures, posters, and government documents, the collection describes the period through the perspective of a diversity of participants, including activists, politicians, scientists, and average citizens. Included are the words of Rachel Carson, but also Howard Zahniser on wilderness and Nathan Hare on the Black underclass. The chronological arrangement reveals the coincidence of a multitude of issues that rushed into public consciousness during a critical time in American history.
RELATED TOPICS: American History, Environmental Advocacy & Activism, Environmental Conservation & Sustainability, Environmental History, Environmental Policy, Environmental Studies, History, Sociology
A fascinating collection of some of the most compelling arguments in the late 1960s and early 1970s about the environmental crisis. It makes clever use of images, cartoons, PSAs, letters, and testimony. Char Miller, author of Gifford Pinchot and the Making of Modern Environmentalism
The Environmental Moment is lively and eclectic and does an impressive job of combining classic documents with less well-known ones to get readers thinking about this seemingly familiar topic in unfamiliar ways. William Cronon, from the foreword
Concentrating on a period of upheaval and change, years when environmentalism developed as part of larger social and cultural currents, The Environmental Moment gives students an in-depth look at environmentalism emerging, affecting, and being shaped by other interests in American society and the economy. Thomas R. Dunlap, editor of DDT, Silent Spring, and the Rise of Environmentalism
David Stradling is a professor of history at the University of Cincinnati. He is the author of Making Mountains: New York City and the Catskills and The Nature of New York: An Environmental History of the Empire State, and editor of Conservation in the Progressive Era.


I have a domestic longhair cat about 3-years-old, and she has gotten herself completely covered on her underside with mats. There is also one area which is obviously painful if I try to brush her. How does one get the mats out at this point? I will shave her if necessary, because her fur seems to bother her a lot. I just don't know what to do about that sore spot. I can't see anything, it just feels like something under the skin and it hurts her if I touch it. I thought it was just another mat at first, but it's definitely a sore spot of some kind. Should I take her to a groomer? The vet?
Hi – thanks for your email. Mats are frustrating to deal with and can be quite difficult. I have some tips on how to deal with them that is in the article link below.
It is hard to evaluate the sore area without seeing your cat or seeing the area which sounds like it is under a mat. If you can't deal with the mats at home, it may be time to have him shaved either at your groomer or veterinarian's office. Once the mats are off, then you can see what is under the mats. If the area is raw or sore, see your veterinarian.
An article that might be helpful to you is on our Petplace.com is "How to Get the Mats Out from Your Cat!."
PS – does any one have some good tips on how you get rid of mats on your cat? Email me!

22 October 2018 – Alibaba Confirms Ele.me and Koubei Merger
http://media.blubrry.com/globalventuringreview/globalventuringreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/130-globalventuringreview-22oct2018.mp3
Alibaba has confirmed the merger of Ele.me, the food delivery service it acquired in April, with Koubei, the local services platform it launched in 2015 and spun off two years later. The deal will be bolstered by $3bn of funding from Alibaba and SoftBank, and the newly formed entity will be going head to head with Meituan Dianping, the local services platform heavily backed by Alibaba's key rival, Tencent.
Indian online food ordering platform Swiggy is preparing to raise $900m in a Naspers-led round that will reportedly include Tencent, and which will consist of $600m in equity funding and $300m in secondary share sales.
Instacart is growing like a weed and has announced a $600m round led by hedge fund D1 Capital Partners that valued it at $7.6bn. That would be some achievement in itself, but the grocery delivery service closed a $350m round at a $4.35bn valuation just six months ago.
Alibaba has invested approximately $288m in alcoholic beverages retailer 1919 Wines, taking a 29% stake in the process. 1919 sells its drinks through the combination of an e-commerce platform, for which Alibaba could surely help, and brick-and-mortar stores, and the investment comes at a time when China is learning to love wine.
LinkLogis, which uses AI to power a supply chain finance platform for small and micro-sized businesses, has received $220m in a series C round led by Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC with participation from corporates GLP, Skyworth, Tencent and Bertelsmann Asia Investments.
Ant Financial, Alibaba's financial services affiliate, has invested $210m in Zomato, the India-based restaurant listings platform that is moving into food delivery.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies, a UK-based sequencing technology spinout of University of Oxford, has raised $66m from pharmaceutical firm Amgen that brought its latest round to $206m.
Careem has received $200m from existing investors that include Rakuten, Al Tayyar and the Saudi Telecom-anchored STV according to Reuters, capital that will likely form the first part of a $500m round that values it at $2bn pre-money.
Automotive e-commerce platform Chehaoduo has meanwhile secured $162m in a series C+ round, seven months after Tencent led its $818m series C. It has reportedly now raised a total of more than $1.85bn in total, and the city of Kunshan has provided $430m as part of a deal that will involve it being the location for Chehaoduo's Maodou subsidiary.
SoftBank is still yet to officially close its $100bn Vision Fund, but it is reportedly arranging $9bn in debt financing for the unit, from the banks that are acting as underwriters for the IPO of its wireless division, an offering expected to raise some $27bn.
US-based growth equity firm Edison Partners closed its ninth fund at $365m yesterday having raised capital from limited partners including Rutgers University and American Family.
Taiho Pharmaceutical launched corporate venturing arm Taiho Ventures in 2016 with $50m of capital. The unit has since backed several companies, many of which are cancer therapy developers, and achieved an exit when Arcus Biosciences went public in March.
The Chinese city of Xuzhou has partnered with venture capital firm SummitView capital to launch a $433m fund focusing on sensors and technology related to the internet of things.
36Kr has long been cited as a news source for Chinese deals, but the technology news platform has been busy in recent years, adding a slate of data provision, event promotion and fundraising services to its bow.
It's been quite a while but slowly, inch by inch, ride hailing services Uber and Lyft are moving toward the public markets.
Meanwhile, prospective underwriters for a Palantir IPO have told the company it could double its last disclosed valuation to $41bn in its own 2019 IPO.
Innovent Biologics filed for its Hong Kong IPO in June but has now revealed it is seeking $400m to $500m in the offering and has lined up cornerstone investors.
Anaplan has raised almost $264m in an IPO that involved it floating at the top of its range before seeing its share price jump some 40% immediately.

Q: Filter by numeric column start with a given number I'd like to filter my rows based on a numeric column. Problem is that the input is a pattern - for e.g. - a number starting with 2045 or something. I could do this:
select *
from my_table
where num_column like '2045%';

It works but that doesn't let me use index on the column. The implicit to_char on num_column reduces the performance.
Is there a more suitable way in which I could query the same and still use indexes?
This assumes the number always start with the given input (not in between or end) and the value in the column is of variable number of digits.

A: If the number is in a particular range, then you could do something like:
where num_column >= 2045000 and num_column < 2046000

I am guessing that is not the case . . . although you could extend this:
where (num_column >= 2045 and num_column < 2046) or
      (num_column >= 20450 and num_column < 20460) or
      (num_column >= 204500 and num_column < 204600) or
      . . .

I'm not sure if Oracle would really use an index for a complicated or.
There is another solution.  Create an index on an expression and use the expression:
create index idx_mytable_numcolumn_str on my_table(to_char(num_column));

Then you can do:
where to_char(num_column) like '2045%'

A:
Is there a more suitable way in which I could query the same and still use indexes?

Create a function-based index on your column.
CREATE INDEX my_table__num_column__to_char__idx ON my_table ( TO_CHAR( num_column ) );

Police probing death of journalist killed in Mexico as violence against the press continues
By Arun Kakar Twitter
Authorities are investigating potential links between the death of Carlos Dominguez Rodriguez and his work as a journalist after the 77-year-old was found with stab wounds in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas.
Rodriguez is the latest casualty in a series of attacks on the Mexican press in 2017. Ten reporters were murdered in Mexico last year, several of whom covered drug cartels in reports.

Rodriguez, an independent political journalist who covered topics including the growing violence in the country ahead of elections in July.
Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca, the Governor of Tamaulipas, said: "My commitment to them and the journalistic community of Tamaulipas is that this murder will not go unpunished."
Violence in the area has led to curbs in crime coverage in the press amid fears for staff safety. It has been described as a "silence zone" by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
CPJ representative Jan-Albert Hootsen: "It has such a high degree of violent crime and organised crime activity that journalists there feel obligated to abide by certain rules imposed on them by organised crime, as to what they can write about and what they can't write about."
The United Nations and Inter-American Commission on Human Rights have also expressed concern about the situation in Mexico regarding journalists' safety.

Catalytic research at Texas A&M University covers a broad range of homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysis. Many of the important challenges in modern catalysis research are under investigation at TAMU, including photo- and electro-chemical production of renewable energy, the efficient conversion of renewable and non-renewable feedstocks into valuable chemicals and polymers, methods to recover and re-use catalysts, the production of materials for solar energy utilization, and the development of tools for catalyst design and characterization. Catalysis also plays a pivotal role in green chemical processes, which seek to minimize waste and the use of resources.
