Q: Shortcut to open new tab with selected text in Chrome I need this shortcut when some website display link in plain text, or I wanna google some words in the page.
Right-clicking the menu can do this; but I'd like only use the keyboard which is much more effective.
Now I use Cmd-C, Cmd-T, Cmd-V, Enter to do this.

A: Open Automator.app and create a new "Service". Choose "Service receives selected text", and choose "Google Chrome" as the application.
Then, drag "Run AppleScript" from the left pane to the right and paste:
on run {input, parameters}

    tell application "Google Chrome"
        set myTab to make new tab at end of tabs of window 1
        set URL of myTab to input
    end tell

    return input
end run

Then, save this Service, and give it a name like "Open selected text in Google Chrome".
Finally, go to System Preferences » Keyboard » Keyboard Shortcuts and look under "Services". Here, create a shortcut for your new service, e.g. Cmd-Shift-O.

This does currently not work for searching since Chrome doesn't treat text as an URL for opening. See @Lri's solution for this.

A: There's a built-in service that opens a selected text URL in a default application. It requires the URL to have a scheme though and doesn't fall back to a Google search or anything.

You could also create a custom service that opens a URL or a Google search page:

input="$(cat)"
input="${input%\n}" # remove a possible trailing newline
if [[ "$input" =~ '://' ]]; then
    open "$input"
else
    open "http://www.google.com/search?q=$(echo -En "$input" |
    ruby -e 'require "cgi"; print CGI.escape($<.read.chomp)')"
fi

A: It can be done much simpler:

*

*Select the text.

*Drag the text to your address bar.

*Press Enter.

A: For the benefit of anyone looking at this question in 2014 or beyond, Google Chrome has implemented this feature.

Where the Heart Is Study Guide
Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts
Where the Heart Is Book Summary
This novel opens with Novalee and Willy Jack, her then boyfriend, traveling from Tennessee to California. At the time, Novalee is "seventeen, seven months pregnant, thirty-seven pounds overweight, and superstitious about sevens." Letts describes Novalee's relationships with the number 7; at the age of 7 her mother ran off with a baseball umpire named Fred, her best friend in seventh grade got arrested and a crazy customer at her cafe job cut her from wrist to elbow and took seventy-seven stitches to close her up."
Novalee convinces Willy Jack to stop at a Wal-Mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma, so she can use the restroom and purchase a pair of sandals, as hers fell through the floor of their beat up car. When Novalee comes out of the Wal-Mart, she realizes Willy Jack has left her with nothing more than her beach bag and the $7.77 she has in change from the purchase of new sandals.
With nowhere else to go, Novalee spends the afternoon at the Wal-Mart and meets "Sister Husband", a kind and spunky woman who runs the town's "Welcome Wagon." Sister Husband has a deep faith and hands out chapters of the Bible to people she meets. When they first meet, Sister Husband "mistakes" Novalee for a girl named Ruth Ann Mott and gives Novalee a Welcome Wagon basket. She also meets Moses Whitecotton, a photographer who shoots portraits at the Wal-Mart. Moses tells Novalee to give her baby a name "that will mean something" and "withstand a lot of bad times", as well as a photo album. He later becomes Novalee's mentor as she becomes more invested in photography. In addition, she also meets Benny Goodluck, a Native American, who gives Novalee a buckeye tree for good luck.
As Novalee lives in Walmart, she watches as the buckeye tree becomes sick. She takes a walk to the library where she meets Forney Hull who helps her find books about the buckeye. Forney is from a well-bred family but had to drop out of college to take care of his alcoholic sister. He appears "crazy" and shouts facts he has read from books at Novalee. Novalee Nation is forced to have her baby in the Wal-Mart, but Forney, the local librarian's brother, breaks a window and helps her out. At the hospital she makes a good friend and finds out that she and her baby are famous and in the news. Novalee's mother finds out which hospital she's at because of the news report on her, but Novalee finds out the hard way that her intentions were just for money. Novalee befriends her nurse Lexi, an obese mother of four kids with different fathers.
Novalee takes a walk to Sister Husband's home, who had told Novalee in Walmart she was welcome to visit her house any time, to ask Sister Husband if she could plant her buckeye on her property. Sister eventually becomes a mother figure to Novalee and her daughter over the course of the plot. Sister's untimely death was a result of a tornado. Novalee gains her estate from Sister's will and invites Lexi to live with her.
Novalee finally reunites with Willy after she finds out he was in accident, causing him to get his legs amputated. After Willy admits that he felt the baby kick before he abandoned them, Novalee takes him back to Tennessee and admits to Forney that she is in love with him (Forney).

As Titov attempted to sleep, he became nauseous. However, he had no problem with eating and drinking, briefly took control of the spacecraft, and used a film camera to record the view from his cockpit window. Re-entering Earth's atmosphere, Vostok 2 experienced similar separation problems to those on Vostok 1, but Titov made a safe return to Earth by parachute after 17 orbits. Although later missions would continue to extend flight times, this was unlikely to provide the stream of propaganda

Although Korolev wanted to continue the Vostok programme, he was overruled - work on the Voskhod modification was to take priority. But the last paired Vostok mission saw another propaganda coup, as Valery Bykovsky's Vostok 5, launched on 14 June 1963, was joined in orbit two days later by Valentina Tereshkova, the first female cosmonaut, in Vostok 6. Tereshkova was an expert parachutist and one of a group of women trained for flight by Kamanin and Korolev. The two cosmonauts returned to Earth on 19 June, marking the end of the Vostok programme.

Just a month short of his 26th birthday when he took to the skies aboard Vostok 2, Gherman Stepanovich Titov (1935-2000) is still the youngest person to have travelled in space. Born in a small village in the Altai region, he trained as a pilot at Stalingrad, before his recruitment to the Soviet cosmonaut programme. His day-long flight in 1961 made him an international celebrity, and the Kremlin propagandists sent him on tours around the world.

SummatiX is a Melbourne based medical informatics startup that seeks to develop an open, scalable, aggregatable medical data monetization platform capable of integrating any connected external medical device.
While there are a number of companies focused on doing this for a single device or within the confines of a hospital or primary care facility, SummatiX is unique in that it is focused on connecting devices designed for use outside the hospital in the therapeutic, diagnostic, rehabilitation, and activity tracking areas leveraging its licensed technology and proprietary data monetization strategies.
SummatiX will act as a fee for service provider to its clients providing connectivity to its HIPAA compliant platform, software, APIs, and data management, so they can concentrate on their core competency of generating medical data with their devices. SummatiX will enable clients to commercialize their connected products faster, at a lower cost, gain access to new data monetization opportunities, and be part of a "sticky" eco-system with a high switching cost as Payers do not want 500 devices on 500 separate platforms; they want 1000+ devices on a single platform!
SummatiX has licensed technology from Canary Medical and received funding from BioScience Managers, a Melbourne based fund working in cooperation with the Australian Government, to commercialize its medical informatics platform ecosystem focused initially on the United States and Australian markets. SummatiX's development and business plan forecasts a commercial launch in Q1 2019 and has its first commercial client commitment in place.

I'm a Washington-based reporter with more than a decade of experience digging into complex financial, regulatory, legal and public-policy issues and explaining them to general audiences, mostly while at major national news organizations. I now work for footnoted, the blog and subscription service founded and run by Michelle Leder and acquired by Morningstar Inc. in early February 2010.
05-mugshot.jpg
Before that, I was briefly a reporter for Bloomberg News in Washington, covering housing regulation and some financial-derivatives issues. I joined Bloomberg after working as a Washington correspondent for BusinessWeek magazine and BusinessWeek online until they were acquired by Bloomberg LP on December 1, 2009.
I joined BusinessWeek in August 2008, after eight years at The Wall Street Journal, where I covered a wide range of financial topics, including retirement, pensions, health-care, executive compensation, property-casualty and life insurance, stocks and mutual funds. Articles I wrote or co-wrote have won two Gerald Loeb awards, two George Polk awards, and one National Journalism award, among others, and I shared in the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting. Some of my articles receiving national recognition include a series examining how employers benefit from life-insurance policies covering employees; others examined nursing-home evictions and how cutting retiree health-care helps corporate profits.
I've also worked for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Daily Record of Morris County, New Jersey, and the Petersburg Pilot in Petersburg, Alaska. In college, I wrote for the Daily Illini at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and I have a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
For more details, please see my resumé.
About my work
My primary interest lies in complex financial, legal and public-policy issues, with an emphasis on investigative and explanatory reporting. My goal is to reach a broad audience, at once relevant and accessible to a general readership and meaningful to readers who are more financially sophisticated.
On this page, to the right, is a feed of my most recent material, aka the TheoWire, both from this site and from outside publications; it should be reasonably up-to-date. Below that are my two Twitter feeds: @theofrancis, which I use primarily to publicize some ofmy own work and re-post or discuss related issues, and @theowire, which I've used primarily to point out work by others, on a wider range of topics, that I think is worth reading. On the left are twomlists of projects, mostly outlets for which i currently work, or once worked; following those links will bring you to pages with selected articles and blog posts, as well as a more general stream of items for current projects.
I periodically email out articles to sources, professional contacts and others; let me know if you'd like me to add you to the list, or sign up using the form on the Articles page.
I've found myself in some interesting places as a reporter. The Narratives page includes a few first-person stories about my experiences.
Although I am primarily a reporter and writer, I have also appeared on national and international broadcast television and radio news shows, and I've helped produce and appeared in online video segments. Links and additional information are on my Multimedia page.
This is the fourth major version of my Web site. I first created TheoWire in the spring of 1996 by hand-coding the HTML in vi on borrowed a Unix machine. The first revision was again mostly hand-coded, using Optima System's PageSpinner; it is still online for nostalgia's sake. I built the next iteration in the summer of 2009 using Apple's iWeb, with subsequent updates and minor adjustments since. This version is built with Drupal 7, which I've been teaching myself as I go.

Mars in Comparison to Earth
Topic: Sciences Words: 772 Pages: 3 Updated: Oct 2nd, 2021
Martian Atmosphere
The Martian Geology
Importance of exploring other planets, distant systems and outer space
Mars is the most similar to earth planet ever discovered. It measures 4,222 miles which is approximately 6794 kilometers in diameter as compared to earth which measures 7926 miles which is approximately 12756 kilometers. In comparison this translates to about 53% of the earth size.
In terms of distance from the sun, the earth is located 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away from the sun as compared to the mars which ranges from 128.43 million miles to 154.94 million miles from the sun. Britt (para.1) observes that this range is due to its non-circular orbit.
Earth is known to rotate on an axis tilted at 23.5 degrees as opposed to mars which tilted at 25 degrees. The earth's revolution takes approximately 365 days while Mars takes 687 earth days or 670 mars days.
Mars atmosphere consists of a very thin layer of air which is mainly composed of carbon dioxide at 95.3%, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon and traces of oxygen at 0.15%. The planets' temperature is freezing cold in most places over the better part of the year with the planet average of -81 degrees Fahrenheit (-63 degrees Celsius) with a maximum of 20° C (68° F) and a minimum of -140° C (-220° F). Its weather is mainly characterized by sandy dust storms.
These storms sometimes blanket the planet to near obscurity especially as it approaches the sun during revolution. Coriolis Effect, caused by the planets rotation deflects the winds making them to blow nearly parallel to the equator. In its northern pole, the planet is dominated by a vast ice cap composed of water ice and snow (Miles para.4).
However, the southern hemisphere has a tiny cap containing mainly dry ice. This ice builds up during winter and recedes during summer. Martian density is 3.94g/cm3 which is about 1% of the earth's density.
Mars has 3 major large volcanoes which are all extinct. Due to their shield like shape, they are commonly referred to as shield volcanoes. The largest of them is called Olympus mons which measures 600km across its base and about 25km above the surrounding plain.
These have long lava flows due to larger eruption rates and lower gravity. Among its many canyon systems is the Valles Marineris which spreads about 5000km, 500km in width and 6km in depth. These gigantic canyons were mainly formed by tectonic activity rather than erosion as is the case on earth.
It is impossible for liquid water to exist in Mars due to its low pressure. However according to Mars Express (para5.) recent discoveries have brought forward some evidence to support that liquid water once flowed on the Martin surface especially after discovery of gully deposits.
This suggests that the planets atmosphere may have been denser in the past for occurrence of liquid water to have been possible. Scientists have observed physical features that resemble riverbeds, shorelines, gorges and islands that suggest rivers once flowed in the red planet.
Channels measuring about 1500km long and 200km wide appear to have been curved out by running water. Most of the rocks on Mars' mid latitude are basalt. Their red color is as result of a mineral called magnetite.
Opportunity rover on landing the Eagle's crater and further on Endurance crater brought evidence supporting that water once flowed in mars. This points to the speculation by scientists that living organisms might be there too.
However due to its harsh atmosphere, intelligent life is not possible in the planet. With emerging evidence of water below the Martian surface, there could be simple living organisms in mars e.g. the sulfate reducing bacteria as Benton Clark III, a Mars Exploration Rover (MER) science team member suggested.
Mars express Orbiter also discovered residue water ice inside a 35 km wide crater and 2km depth (Mars Express para6.). However it will be useful to point out that as long as the search for liquid water remains elusive, it will be impossible building blocks that are necessary for life to exist.
Exploration of these will provide humankind with an opportunity to test the possibility of life in other planets or outer space. There also exist compounds in other planets that could be useful to us. For example, carbon dioxide in mars might in future be used to fuel jet engines to other planets on their return trips.
Some planets are rich in various minerals that can be utilized for industrial; production and also research. Additionally, in order to understand the history of our planets origin, it is imperative to study the outer space.

Review of Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews
Iron and Magic
by Ilona Andrews
406pp (Ebook)
Iron and Magic is the first book in the Iron Covenant trilogy, a spin-off from Ilona Andrews' New York Times bestselling Kate Daniels series set between the ninth and tenth books (Magic Binds and Magic Triumphs, respectively). This novel focuses on Roland's former warlord, Hugh d'Ambray, as he fights an internal battle and mysterious magical forces—and his new wife, a powerful woman known as the White Warlock.
After a prologue showing how Roland had Hugh brought to him as a child, Iron and Magic opens by showing the aftereffects of Hugh's failure to do as commanded. Since Roland dismissed him and cut him off from his magic, Hugh has largely existed in a drunken stupor attempting to drown out the void left where his master's godlike presence once dwelt. But when the soldiers of the Iron Dogs are being killed for their loyalty to Hugh, he realizes he must pull himself together for their sake.
Hugh and his remaining soldiers need food and shelter, and Elara has a castle but needs defenders against the head of the Golden Legion and his vampires: exactly the type of enemy the Iron Dogs specialize in destroying. However, the two leaders' advisers fear that an alliance between their peoples will not work unless it's difficult for their union to be broken when it inevitably becomes advantageous for one side to split, and they propose a political marriage. Neither Hugh nor Elara is particularly pleased with the idea of marrying the other, but they both agree to do so for the good of their people—and they wed even though they despise each other from the first time they meet.
Though I once considered the Kate Daniels series to be one of my favorites, my enthusiasm for these books has been steadily waning since the seventh installment. The last few novels have not met the same high standards set by the earlier books, and I thought that the last book I'd read before this (Magic Binds) was the weakest one yet—in fact, I probably would have quit reading the series at that point if the next book had not been the finale.
Given that, I was leaning toward skipping Iron and Magic even though I would have once devoured any book related to Kate Daniels. I was somewhat curious about Hugh's story, though, and then I heard that this should be read before Magic Triumphs. So I set aside my copy of the latter and purchased a copy of Iron and Magic to read first.
Reader, I have regrets.
For all my problems with Magic Triumphs (which I read right after finishing this and will be reviewing separately), it was at least readable and fun. Despite occasional interesting parts, I cannot say the same about Iron and Magic, which I found to be largely boring and nowhere near as polished as even the more recent Kate Daniels books. It had many of the classic Ilona Andrews features—a magical mystery plot, a grand fight, main characters being powerful and badass, incorporation of less commonly utilized mythology—but the execution fell flat. The fights and tactical discussions were dull, the attempts at witty dialogue failed miserably, and typographical errors were numerous. The secondary characters did not have much personality of their own, and the main characters were not particularly engaging either.
There was potential for some interesting characterization with Hugh, but it seemed to me that the authors erased a lot of what made him compelling in an attempt to make him more palatable as a protagonist. Part of what made Hugh such an intriguing villain in the Kate Daniels books was that he and Kate were raised similarly but made different choices and ultimately decided to follow very different paths—but it turns out that Hugh never actually had a choice.
The very beginning of this novel shows how Roland not only started training him when he was a child without a family, but promised him he'd never be hungry again. He told him he was special and unique and he'd teach him to be able to take care of himself, all while exuding that loving charismatic demeanor that made Hugh feel as though he were looking upon God. However, instead of exploring this connection and how it shaped Hugh, all his bad actions are waved away by making him into Roland's puppet. Hugh didn't want to do evil, and if Roland wanted him to do something he didn't want to do, he simply overrode his free will and adjusted him to want to do as commanded.
That's not to say that Hugh was automatically a good person as he dealt with the aftermath of having been cast out by Roland. He certainly acted like a real jerk at times, but there were also plenty of cliche signs that he wasn't so bad underneath it all: his men remained loyal to him, animals and children immediately liked him, and of course, Elara eventually fell for him.
Like Hugh, Elara had potential to be fascinating but didn't quite hit the mark. In many ways, Elara seems like Kate except her character was built in a rush and not handled with nearly as much skill. Elara too has a mysterious power that she tries to hide, but it's not as subtly drawn as Kate's was nor does it seem as creative as hers. Her magic even reminded Hugh of Kate's, and she's also fiercely protective like her.
The love-to-hate relationship between Hugh and Elara was also reminiscent of the romance that occurred in the main series, but instead of gradually developing throughout several books as a secondary plot, it was a hurried and unsatisfying main plot. The progression of their relationship did not seem natural since they went from despising each other to sometimes being attracted to each other for no apparent reason to TRUE LOVE. Though there were some scenes in which they're supposed to be seeing each other in a new light, I didn't think they worked well. They didn't get across why they would suddenly start to like each other strongly enough, and it seemed more like they were drawn to each other because the story required it than because it seemed fitting for their characters to do so. Furthermore, their "banter" was not particularly amusing or clever: it largely consisted of the two calling each other names like "harpy" and "bastard."
Despite not enjoying most of Iron and Magic, I did enjoy learning more of Hugh's thoughts on Kate and Roland and having some background when reading Magic Triumphs. (And I did rather like the divine elephant, brief as its appearance was.) However, this novel was not vital to reading the last installment of Kate Daniels, and in retrospect, I would have preferred to spend my time and money on a different book. I doubt I'll be continuing Iron Covenant or reading any further stories related to the Kate Daniels—even though it was, once upon a time, a series I loved.
Where I got my reading copy: I purchased it.

Review of Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews with Series Reflections »


Major Silicon Valley tech companies would win and outsourcing companies would lose under a change to the way the lottery for the H-1B visa is run.
The H-1B has become a flashpoint in the immigration debate and a target for Trump, particularly over use of the visa by outsourcers, which rake in the lion's share of H-1Bs, mostly for bachelor's degree holders. Heavily relied upon by large technology companies, the visa is condemned by critics as a mechanism for supplanting American workers with cheaper foreign labor.
However, online magazine Politico, citing an unnamed source in the Department of Homeland Security, reported that the Trump Administration intends to change the way people with master's degrees or higher from U.S. universities are fed into the lottery. Under the current system, they're first run through a 20,000-visa "master's cap" sub-lottery. Then, if any applications are left over, they're put into the main 65,000-visa lottery. The reported change would put those higher-educated workers into the main lottery, and any left over would go into the 20,000 master's lottery, flipping the system.
Howard University professor Ronil Hira said he crunched numbers using federal government data, and determined that based on last year's H-1B numbers, the change would yield nearly 4,000 more visas for advanced-degree holders.
However the government tweaks the lottery, its stated intention to prioritize higher-educated workers would help big tech firms like Google, Apple and Facebook — which tend to obtain significantly more H-1B visas for employees with master's degrees or higher than they do for workers with bachelor's degrees, said Hira, who has argued in testimony before Congress several times in favor of adjusting the H-1B system to favor advanced-degree holders.
Facebook declined to comment on the lottery change. Google and Apple did not respond to requests for comment.
Outsourcing and staffing companies such as Infosys, Cognizant, Tata, Wipro and Deloitte tend to obtain more visas for bachelor's degree holders, according to data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration. New Jersey-based Cognizant, for example, obtained about 22,000 visas last year for workers with bachelor's degrees, compared to about 6,500 for master's degree holders. At large outsourcing firms, many of the higher-educated H-1B recipients have degrees from foreign universities, mostly in India, a category of workers that would not get a boost from the planned lottery change, Hira said. These companies would likely have a harder time securing H-1B visas under the new system, he said, adding that he favors the change.
Infosys declined to comment on the coming lottery change. Cognizant, Tata, Wipro and Deloitte did not respond to requests for comment.

Vanessa's Card Studio: Spring = Vacation!
I wanted to let all my followers know that this blog will be unmanned until March 10th. It's spring and to me, that means it's time to go on vacation. :) I'm going to Washington, DC where I'm sad to say there will be no cherry blossoms yet, but I'll still be having a great time seeing our nation's capitol. I even managed to get a tour of the White House which I've never done in the past!
I will be sending the shipping rebates for orders placed in my absence when I return. Also, orders for the giant paper clips will not be filled until the week of the 10th. I won't be taking a laptop with me, so I won't have access to my email. I will, however, reply to all once I get home.
Here's another example of the bookmarks I've made recently. Enjoy!
Hope your enjoying your vacation! I'm your newest follower and I'll be returning for inspiration for sure!

Q: What are the required versions when migrating Sonar from 2.7 to 4.0 I would like to migrate Sonar from version 2.7 to 4.0 and would like to know the required versions needed for this migration.

A: If I correctly understand your question, then the answer is: you don't need any specific versions of SonarQube, just download the version you want (so in your case 4.0) and follow the upgrade guide, and everything will be fine.


"Columbia University this week held a conference on how lessons from 'The Wire' -- the critically acclaimed TV series on Baltimore's inner-workings of gangs, media and government -- cut across academic disciplines. The show has become a popular talking point in many classrooms across the country. NewsHour's Hari Sreenivasan reports"
"This is the first panel of the two-day conference (April 8-9, 2016) on the popular television series The Wire, hosted by the Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University.

Champions League Playoff draw candidates revealed
The Third Qualifying Round of the Champions League is done, and we now know who Napoli can be drawn against. Let's look at the potential victi... er, candidates.
By Conor Dowley@c_dowley Aug 7, 2014, 9:02pm CEST
Share All sharing options for: Champions League Playoff draw candidates revealed
Valerio Pennicino
The draw for the Champions League Playoff round is tomorrow at noon CET/6 AM EST, and Napoli will finally know who they'll face in the last two weeks of August and have to defeat in order to advance to the much-desired Group Stage.
Half the teams being drawn tomorrow can be ignored straight off; as a qualifier through league position, Napoli won't be paired with any of the "champions route" sides, or teams that qualified by winning lower-level leagues. As a "seeded" side in the "league route" (clubs that qualified through their finish in a higher-level league), Napoli can only be drawn against an "unseeded" side; the seeding is determined by each club's UEFA club coefficient standing (a metric also used for Group Stage pot seeding), where Napoli sit 31st, the lowest of the seeded sides. The coefficient is determined based on each club's performance in European competition over the last several years.
For reference, here's the full list of seeded and unseeded teams:
Seeded: Arsenal FC (ENG), FC Porto (POR), FC Zenit (RUS), Bayer 04 Leverkusen (GER), SSC Napoli (ITA)
Unseeded: Athletic Club (ESP), LOSC Lille (FRA), FC København (DEN), R. Standard de Liège (BEL), Beşiktaş JK (TUR)
We did a little bit of a team-by-team breakdown before the Third Qualifying round began, so rather than go through that, let's look at the toughest, easiest, and potentially most likely draws.
2014 Season: 4th in La Liga (ESP), 20 W, 8 D, 10 L
66 goals scored, 39 goals allowed
Third QR: N/A
Toughest Draw
Athletic Bilbao are the only unseeded side that skipped straight to the playoff round, thanks to Zenit St. Petersburg having a superior UEFA coefficient score. They're also the best of the unseeded sides and will give any of the teams that they're drawn with a hell of a fight, as they haven't been to the Group Stage since 1998 (which was, in fact, their only trip there as their previous Champions League forays were before the Group Stage existed), and they would very much like to get there again.
Their frontline star and danger man is Iker Muniain, a small attacking midfielder with lots of on-ball skill who gives defenders fits. He mostly plays from the left, meaning that Christian Maggio would have to be on his game to keep the 21 year old Basque-born dynamo at bay. He only scored 7 goals last season, but for his career he has 31 in 213 club matches, including eight in 33 Europa League matches.
Bilbao's aggressive style and talented squad (they also have Markel Susaeta and Ander Iturraspe to worry about, among others) make them a very difficult matchup for Napoli. On paper, Napoli have what it takes to see the Spaniards off, but matches aren't played on paper. Napoli will have to be at their best in order to win this one.
2014 Season: 2nd in Belgian Pro League Playoff (BEL), 4 W, 3 D, 3 L
1st in Belgian Pro League (BEL), 20 W, 7D, 3L
Third QR: def. Panathinaikos (GRE) 2-1 on aggregate
Easiest Draw
With all due apologies and respect to Standard Liege and their fans, the Belgian side is the weakest left in the Champions League qualification process. That's not to say that they're a bad side, they just simply don't have the quality talent to hang with any of the seeded teams. They did play convincingly in the away leg of their Third Qualifying Round tie with Greek side Panathinaikos, but as noted in the preview of that round, that was the weakest tie of the lot.
Standard's most talented player is probably winger Paul-Jose M'Poku, a 22 year old who has actually been loosely linked with Napoli of late. The former Tottenahm academy product has done very well for himself since joining Standard three years ago, including scoring the all-important winning goal against Panathinaikos earlier this week that put Standard in this position. Across all competitions, he's scored 25 goals since moving to Belgium, and is considered an emerging star of sorts, attracting attention from around Europe.
Others on Standard's roster certainly deserve respect and attention, such as Igor de Camargo, Mehdi Carcela, and Ronnie Stam, but on a whole they're simply lacking in the talent and difference-makers to make noise in this round. As long as Napoli play well and maintain their focus, this would be a tie that they should win very easily.
2014 Season: 3rd in Ligue 1 (FRA), 20 W, 11 D, 7 L
Third QR: def. Grasshoppers (SWI) 3-1 on aggregate
Likely Draw
Lille are a fun little team with buckets of talent. They had a relatively easy matchup in the Third Qualifying Round, seeing off Grasshoppers 3-1 on aggregate, including a 2-0 win in the away leg in Switzerland. They're a side that plays smart and to the strengths of their players, a tactic that's given fits to the more traditional powers in France such as PSG, Lyon, Marseilles, and even hyper-rich Monaco. They've built a squad that's talented and well-constructed, with a good mix of talented youth and experienced veterans scattered all over the roster.
If you had to pick out one danger man, it'd be Liverpool loanee Divock Origi. The 19 year old Belgian striker did very well for Lille in the second half of last season, drawing attention from his current parent club, and then exploded in to prominence during the World Cup as he put in several stellar performances for Belgium, including earning starts over the much more heralded Romelu Lukaku. His athleticism and natural instincts are enough to give any side fits, and Napoli's central defenders will have to be at the height of their powers in order to contain him.
Lille have plenty of other dangerous players too, including Salomon Kalou, Simon Kjaer, Sebastian Corchia, and Idrissa Gueye. Their talent and style make for a fascinating matchup for Napoli, and if drawn together this would have all the makings of a slugging match that would be endlessly entertaining for neutrals, and induce heart attacks for the supporters of either side. Even though Bilbao are the harder opponent and Napoli should be able to beat Lille in the end thanks to superior talent, this might be the matchup to hope to avoid above all others.
Again, the draw is tomorrow (Friday) at noon CET/6 AM EST. Be sure to tune in to see who Napoli get paired with; in the meantime, who do you want to see them drawn against?

The government is pushing ahead with plans to support the rail freight sector with investment in upgrading key routes, transport minister Norman Baker told Rail Freight Group members at the group's recent annual lunch.
Baker described the sector as being good for both the economy and the environment, pointing out that around a quarter of all containers moving inland from the nation's ports by rail, and almost all the coal used in power generation is supplied by rail.
RFG chairman, Tony Berkeley, said: The rail freight sector has had a good year, particularly in regard to the strong growth in the intermodal sector, and has enjoyed continued investment and support. But we now urgently need the ORR to publish its conclusions on freight charges, which we hope will be the right answer for the sector.

Q: What is really happening in this code? I have a code which includes a recursive function. I have wasted a lot of time on recursion but I still couldn't get it really:
#include<stdio.h>
void count(int);

int main()
{
    int x=10,z;
    count(x);
}

void count(int m)
{
    if(m>0)
        count(m-1);
    printf("%d",m);
}

When the 1st time count is called with argument as 10. it fulfills the condition and then here starts the recursive part. what happens really when a function calls itself? I don't get it. Please explain with reference to stacks.

A: While m is greater than 0, we call count. Here is a representation of the stack calls:
 count (m = 10)
   count (m = 9)
     count (m = 8)
       count (m = 7)
         count (m = 6)
           count (m = 5)
             count (m = 4)
               count (m = 3)
                 count (m = 2)
                   count (m = 1)
                     count (m = 0)
                     printf 0
                   printf 1
                 printf 2
               printf 3
             printf 4
           printf 5
         printf 6
       printf 7
     printf 8
   printf 9
 printf 10

A: next time it calls itself it has a smaller value
count(int m)
{
 if(m>0)
 count(m-1); // now it is calling the method "count" again, except m is one less
 printf("%d",m);
}

So first it will call count with 10, then it will call it with 9, then 8, then 7..... all the way until this if statement isn't true:
if(m>0)

What might be confusing you is the if statement only applies to the next line (printf isn't part of the if statement)
so you have:
count(int m)
    {
     if(m>0)
     {
         count(m-1); // now it is calling the method "count" again, except m is one less
     }
     printf("%d",m);
    }

So, the recursive calls will stop once m is not > 0, and then it will call the printf.
After it calls printf for when m is 0, then it will return from that 'count' call, (Back to where m was equal to 1), and then it will call the printf when m is 1, and then when m is 2, .....
So the output should be:
"0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10"

EDIT:
In terms of a stack:
This is what the stack is doing:
count(10) // push count(10)

->
count(9) // push count(9)
count (10)

->
...
->
count(0) // push count(0)
count(1)
count(2)
count(3)
count(4)
count(5)
count(6)
count(7)
count(8)
count(9)
count(10)

-> (and then it starts printing and popping the method off the stack)
// pop count(0), and printf(0)
count(1)
count(2)
count(3)
count(4)
count(5)
count(6)
count(7)
count(8)
count(9)
count(10)

->
// pop count(1), and printf(1)
count(2)
count(3)
count(4)
count(5)
count(6)
count(7)
count(8)
count(9)
count(10)

->
...
->
// pop count(9), and printf(9)
count(10)

->
// pop count(10), and printf(10)

A: When a function is called the return address (of the next code to execute) is stored on the stack along with its current arguments. Once the function finishes the address and arguments are popped so the cpu will know where to continue its code execution.
Let's write the addresses of the function (for the purpose of this example only)
count(int m)
{
(address = 100)  if(m>0)
(address = 101)     count(m-1); // now it is calling the method "count" again, except m is one less
(address = 102)  printf("%d",m);
}

For m = 1:
The if is fullfield so we execute code at address 101 with m = 1. address 102 and m = 1 are pushed to the stack and the function is executed again from address 100 with m = 0. Since m = 0 we execute address 102 and printing 0 on console. The function ends and the last return address (102) and argument m = 1 are popped and the line at address 102 is executed printing 1 on the screen.

A: *

*The function count is called with an integer argument of 10.

*Since the function argument m which is 10 is greater than 0 the function count calls itself with an integer argument of m which is 10 minus 1 which equals 9.

*Step 2 repeats with varying arguments (m-1) until m is not greater than 0 and which point the program prints the value of m.

The recursive function just modifies the parameter given to it and calls itself with that modified value until the desired result is returned (in this case m not being greater than 0).

A: Each number refers to the line number.
#include<stdio.h>
count(int);
main()
{
1int x=10,z;
2count(x);
}
count(int m)
{
3if(m>0)
4   count(m-1);
5printf("%d",m);
}

The execution happens like this(with x=3) -
line number|value of x
1 3
2 3
3 3
4 2
3 2
4 1
3 1
4 0
5 0
5 1
5 2
5 3
Numbers printed on the screen 0 1 2 3

A: If you want a more specific answer, then you have to look into how compilers work. But generally speaking the compiler will create machine code for the function that includes a preamble, in this code enough memory is allocated on the stack (by decrementing a stack pointer) that a copy of the functions variables can be placed on the stack (we can store the state of the function).
The function will have values stored in registers and memory and these must be stored on the stack for each (recursive) call, otherwise the new call will overwrite the precious data!. So very basically the machine code looks like this (pseudo code)
//store m on the stack
store m,stack_pntr+m_offset
//put input values in designated register
a0 = m
//allocate memory on the stack
stackPntr -= stack_size_of(count_vars)
//store return address in allocated register
//jump to the first instruction of count
.
.

By changing some data used for computation we can go back and read the same instructions again and get a different result. The abstraction of recursive function allows us to manipulate the data we want to change in a nice "call by value" way so that we don't overwrite it unintentionally.
This is done by the compiler when it stores the state of the calling function on the stack so we don't have to manually store it.

The Armenian genocide
The 1915 Armenian genocide, [1] affirmed by scholars and historians around the world, remains bitterly contested by the government of Turkey, which (like that of China) has long propounded collective amnesia. Clarity on the "Armenian question" is often bedevilled by the technical issue of whether the assaults constituted genocide as defined by Raphael Lemkin in 1944.
Source: wiki.
Under the roof of the Ottoman empire, religious and ethnic groups were obliged to coexist—as in Anatolia, where Muslims lived alongside Orthodox Greek and Armenian neighbours. But inter-ethnic violence increased through the 19th century; from 1895 Armenians were frequently the targets of atrocities. With the Ottoman roof crumbling, the 1912–13 Balkan Wars reduced its territory and heightened tensions in Anatolia.
After the outbreak of World War One, by 1915 the Ottoman authorities in Constantinople, anxious to forestall rebellion, executed and deported prominent Armenian leaders and disarmed Armenian soldiers in the Ottoman army. In eastern Anatolia (then still home to Greek Orthodox Christians, besides Turkish and Kurdish Muslims), as Armenians were deported away from the Russian front, around one million were starved, robbed, raped, and slaughtered on death marches to the desert. Armenian assets were expropriated, and the surviving women and children forcibly Islamified, erasing Armenian names and culture. Further massacres followed in 1916. International exposure and scrutiny were helpless to stem the tide. Later the genocide was much admired by the Nazis.
Deportation.
Andrew Finkel (in Turkey: what everyone needs to know, chapter 5) offers a cogent overview of the issues.
On the surface it might seem strange that Turkey would stake so much of its own credibility defending a predecessor empire whose immediate legacy it had itself disowned. Yet it has become part of the catechism of today's Republic that what happened in 1915 was part of the exigencies of war and not premeditated.
He gamely outlines the Turkish case, that
Turks were themselves the initial victims of ethnic cleansing. […] Cholera and famine (as well as attacks by Kurdish irregulars) also took their toll on the files of refugees. If blame is to be apportioned, the argument runs, it falls on Armenian revolutionaries who disturbed centuries of coexistence between Muslims and Armenians.
With the academic community and world opinion unconvinced that the many wrongs suffered by Turkish Muslims made a right, he explains the niceties of international legal wranglings and the ramifications of genocide resolutions. And he observes changing attitudes within Turkey, with more open discussion, and growing interest in the contributions of Armenians to the Ottoman empire.
The 2004 publication of Fethiye Çetin's My grandmother: an Armenian-Turkish memoir (one of the five books on the genocide chosen by Thomas de Waal, author of Great catastrophe) "confronted Turks with the Armenians in their midst, both dead and alive", raising awareness of forced assimilation.
Çetin's grandmother (1905–2000) only began revealing her story in 1975. Çetin gave her death announcement to the Istanbul newspaper Agos:
Her name was Heranuş. She was the granddaughter of Herabet Gadaryan, and the only daughter of İsguhı and Hovannes Gadaryan.
She passed a happy childhood in the village of Habab, near Palu, until she reached the fourth grade.
Then, suddenly, she was thrown into the painful times about which she would say, "May those days vanish never to return".
Heranuş lost her entire family and never saw them again. She was given a new name, to live in a new family.
She forgot her mother tongue and her religion, and though she did not once in her life complain about this, she never ever forgot her name, her village, her mother, her father, her grandfather or her close relations. She lived until the age of 95, always hoping that she might be able to see them and embrace them again one day. Perhaps it was this hope that allowed her to live so long; until her very last days, her mind remained sharp. Last week, we lost Heranuş, our grandmother, and sent her to her eternal resting place. We are hoping that this announcement might reach the relations (our relations) that we were never able to find while she was alive, that they may share our grief, in the hope that "those days may vanish, never to return".
(Clockwise from left to right.)
As the translator Maureen Freely comments In her Introduction, this history has been concealed from four generations of Turkish schoolchildren. The book bears witness, giving voice to those whom history has silenced.
The persistence of Armenians in Anatolia today, "the leftovers of the sword", is explored in a wonderful book, full of rich ethnographic observation:
Avedis Hadjian, Secret nation: the hidden Armenians of Turkey (2018).
For Armenians outside Turkey, the clock had stopped in 1915. Until the mid-2000s, most of the Diaspora did not know that there were Armenians left in the ancient provinces of the Ottoman Empire—the conquered territories of Western Armenia and Cilicia. The terrified Armenians that remained would still be subject to daily humiliations, killings, deportations, and armed attacks by the Turkish army and irregular formations, both Turkish and Kurdish, until at least the late 1980s in some parts of the country's interior. For these Armenians, genocide by other means continued for another century.
In fiction, an engaging appearance of the elephant in the room is Elif Shafak's The bastard of Istanbul (2006), using the stories of a characterful Istanbul family of women and their teenage daughter Asya, who bonds with the Armenian-American Armanoush, stepdaughter of the family's estranged brother, as she comes in search of her heritage. I find the novel highly effective in presenting nuanced views through the voices of a polyphonic cast with their seemingly antagonistic stereotypes.
In the Turkish Penal Code the crime of "insulting Turkishness" went back to Article 159, introduced in 1926. In 2005, concerned over the new openness of discussion, the state had replaced it with the controversial Article 301, bringing a slew of prosecutions against several journalists and authors. Written in English, The bastard of Istanbul soon became a bestseller in Turkish, and despite—or perhaps because of—its spirit of reconciliation, Shafak's book was among the targets of Article 301. While the case against her was dropped, like that of Orhan Pamuk, a prosecution against the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was upheld, and he was soon assassinated by a young ultranationalist, giving rise to popular protests.
Indeed, Hrant Dink was the editor of Agos, where Heranuş Gadaryan's death notice had appeared, and it was Fethiye Çetin who acted as Dink's lawyer; she has continued to represent his family.
Having created a climate of fear, by 2008 Article 301 was amended to discourage abuse, but since 2017 it has been invoked again for other purposes (see also Fatma Yavuz).
This 2005 documentary on the Armenian genocide is from ARTE:
[1] Sources are voluminous. I haven't attempted to read perhaps the most exhaustive of many studies, Raymond Kevorkian, The Armenian genocide: a complete history (English translation 2011, from the 2006 French original), running to 1,029 pages. Wiki makes a useful introduction (cf. Racism in Turkey); among websites, see e.g. here and here.
For a thorough recent study, see Fatma Müge Göçek, Denial of violence: Ottoman past, Turkish present, and collective violence against the Armenians, 1789-2009 (2016), with sections on Imperial denial of origins of violence; Young Turk denial of the act of violence; Early Republican denial of actors of violence; and Late Republican denial of responsibility for violence. She explores the wider issue of "Why do states and societies insist of denying the acts of collective violence embedded in their pasts and present?" (e.g. Holocaust denial, Native America, Russia, and China, among many cases).
Benny Morris and Dror Ze'evi, The thirty-year genocide: Turkey's destruction of its Christian minorities, 1894–1924 (2019) encourages us to see the wider picture, though some of its detail has been challenged.

Place potatoes in a Dutch oven, and add cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and let stand at room temperature until potatoes look dry and chalky, about 10 minutes. Return potatoes to Dutch oven.
While potatoes simmer, bring olive oil, rosemary, and thyme to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over low. Cook, stirring once, until mixture is fragrant and herbs have darkened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool 10 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, press oil mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a small bowl. Discard rosemary and thyme.
Mash potatoes with a potato masher until all large chunks are broken down and potatoes are fluffy. Stir in herb-infused oil, yogurt, butter, salt, and finely ground pepper until blended. Garnish with coarsely ground pepper and herb leaves.

TRETHAN: Traditional news sources aren't passe yet
Phaedra Trethan, Commentary
In a given day, I will read news by:
■ Receiving texts and other alerts on my smart phone.
■ Looking on my PC, phone and tablet at Facebook and Twitter, where I follow local police departments and prosecutors' offices; a wide range of local, national and international reporters and news outlets; municipal feeds; government agencies and elected officials.
■ Reading one or more local newspapers — the Courier-Post (of course); the Inquirer; and, if it's Friday, the Retrospect (a weekly paper covering Haddonfield, Haddon Township, Collingswood, Audubon and surrounding towns).
■ Watching the local newscasts at 6 and 11 p.m. (6ABC's Jim Gardner is a personal favorite) and then the national news broadcast at 6:30 p.m.
■ Glancing up at CNN, which is usually on the TV in the newsroom, unless the Phillies are playing — priorities!
■ Using news outlets' apps on my smart phone and tablet, including POLITICO, the New York Times, Time magazine, NPR and the Associated Press.
And while I'm paid to consume news, a recent American Press Institute study suggests I'm not unlike most Americans in my habits.
API's study, "The Personal News Cycle: How Americans Choose to Get Their News," found contrary to the popular wisdom that we're fractured, specialized and fragmented, we're actually very much alike in how we get our news.
Looking across generational, party and socioeconomic lines, the authors of the study found three-quarters of Americans get news at least once daily. And while we embrace new technology at a breakneck pace — using tablets, smart phones and apps to deliver news — we still turn to traditional news sources.
(That sound you hear is this newspaper editor breathing a heavy sigh of relief.)
We're even reading the same types of news: "There are only small differences across age, political party or socioeconomic status in the news topics people follow," API says.
"The percentage of people who say they follow news about local affairs, business and the economy, health and medicine, schools and education, and social issues, among other topics, differs little by generation.
"Even for topics younger news consumers are less avid followers than their elders," the API report continues, "they still report high levels of interest."
What we're looking for, though, changes where we go for it. For news about sports, entertainment, science and technology and lifestyle, we tend to go to more specialized sources. For sports, think Comcast SportsNet and ESPN, or even blogs and team and league websites.
Local TV news is our preferred source, not surprisingly, for weather, traffic, crime and health news.
We're still getting more of our news from newspapers (or their websites) than from any other source the study's authors mentioned in their questioning, especially for local news, local arts and culture, schools and education.
And people are conscious of the distinction between the means of disseminating news — whether it's an aggregation site or on social media — and the source of that news, suggesting that while people turn to the most convenient means of getting the news, they still think about who's providing it in the first place.
(That sound you hear, again, is this newspaper editor breathing a sigh of relief.)

Hamilton won four races in a row to put himself on the brink of the championship but Mercedes had problems in the United States and Mexico GPs.
He clinched the crown last weekend finishing fourth, the first time he failed to stand on the podium since the Austrian GP at the start of July.
Hamilton said: "I still have work to do. I've still got to get back to the factory and rally the troops to figure out how we can come back and win these next races.
"I have no idea why I struggled so much in these last two and we all feel the pain of not winning those races.
"We still have the constructors' championship to win, which I know will mean even more to all the guys back at the factory.
Mercedes struggled with rear-tyre blistering in the US, which led to suggestions the performance drop-off could be linked to the team dropping the rear wheel rim design that Ferrari contested.
However, Mercedes' problem in Mexico was that it was harder on its front-left tyre than rivals Ferrari and Red Bull, indicating it was nothing to do with the wheel rim.
One theory is that Mercedes was simply caught out because both race weekends followed odd Fridays – with the US GP preceded by a pair of wet practice sessions and high altitude and a slick surface playing their part in Mexico.
"I don't think we had one single lap where we actually switched the tyre on," Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said after the race.
Hamilton said he would try to "cherish" the moment of matching Juan Manuel Fangio in winning five titles because it would swiftly be replaced by the remaining priorities for this season.
He also reiterated he felt "conflicted emotionally" because he wanted to celebrate winning the title but had done so through a difficult race, in which Ferrari cut into Mercedes' constructors' lead again to reduce the deficit to 55 points.
"It's not a bad finish and ultimately it's what we needed we've still got a team championship to win," said Hamilton.

Heritage These accommodations give clients the opportunity to stay in renovated historical buildings that maintain the typical Dalmatian architecture.
It looks just the way it sounds; a product of love between Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and Uranus, the god of the sky, Villa Rhea is a place that joins the earth and the sky in the best possible way, bringing those who stay there a beauty of space in perfect blend with the serenity of nature.
We had never seen a house on Hvar that has so many different details, colors, shapes, and materials, all in perfect harmony. We'd never seen it until we saw Rhea. Imagine an old autochthonous stone house over 200 years old, renovated and decorated by a cosmopolitan and aesthete. Everything is in its place, well-matched. Everything about that house invites order, nobility, beauty. An outstanding feeling. Just add to it the vision and ambiance of the picturesque village of Brusje and the pristine nature surrounding it – the glory of a comfortable, good life can begin!
… and if you get tired of escapism, there's always the vivid town of Hvar, a five-minute drive away.
Villa Rhea spreads over 835m2 exterior and 180m2 of interior on three floors. The estate is situated on a large plot of land with a large private parking area, gardens, and terraces including a stunning 12.5m long swimming pool, ideal for swimmers. Such a beauty, we love it.
The ground floor of the villa is maintained as a unified open space with excellently equipped kitchen and extremely enjoyable and appealing dining area and living room. There is also a large open fireplace and a cozy nook to while away lazy afternoons with a good book. The floors are maintained in beautiful travertine stone tiles. From this space three double doors lead onto the main terrace running along the entire front of the house, with ample space for a dining table where the entire family can enjoy healthy Mediterranean gastronomy pleasures.
On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a library and TV area leading onto a "volta", a shady quiet terrace on the backside of the house. On the second floor, there are two double bedrooms with their own bathrooms connected by a gallery overlooking the library.
The first and second floors are maintained in beautiful oak wood-boards. The original character of the house, with exposed stonewalls, has been maintained throughout, yet the interior has been carefully designed to create a uniquely crafted space of comfort and beauty. We are particularly fascinated by the combination of tradition and modernity, the way in which they tango around the villa, leaving even the harshest of critics and the most critical of eyes breathless.
The Villa is a dream come true for all creatives, artists, designers, poets... but also for those heartbroken. After one week in Rhea, we guarantee your broken heart will be fully mended. Our hearts are not broken, but maybe we are poets, as we dream of this kind of stone house (at the end of the village) every day. We have to admit that we envy you on this beautiful aesthetic and rural experience.
Due to its special architectural features, villa Rhea is not suitable for children under 12 years old.
When we took photos of the villa - exterior was work in progress, so the exterior pictures are not perfect.
