South Africa v England
Sharjah Cricket Stadium
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
South Africa will take on England in their fifth and final match in the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup Group 1 in Sharjah, UAE on November 6.
The Proteas defeated Bangladesh by six wickets as the South Africans skittled out the Bengal Lions for 84 in 18.2 overs and then knocked off their target in 13.3 overs on October 31.
Despite the victory, South Africa remained second on the Group 1 standings - two points behind leaders, England with one game left for each team.
"Big game. England… we need to play our best cricket. They have had the better of us of late. We would like to make amends." said Bavuma after their match against Bangladesh.
"Yes, it was a good day for us. Obviously, the conditions were good for the pacers. Good effort with the ball, then clinical with the bat I would say.
"Excites us to have [Kagiso Rabada] KG and [Anrich] Nortje bowling in such conditions, reminds us of playing at home," the 31-year-old, who is also the captain of the South African national team in One Day International, continued.
"Blessed to have both of them in our side. One guy is touching 150, the other guy has all the skills and bowls high-speeds too."
Meanwhile, England secured a 26-run victory over Sri Lanka, who chased 164 for a victory, but they were all out for 137 in 19 overs on November 1.
The victory saw the Poms of England remain at the top of the Group 1 standings and they are still the only unbeaten side in the group.
Only the two top teams from Group 1 will progress to the semi-finals of this year's ICC T20 World Cup finals.
South Africa and England will meet for the 22nd time in a T20 match on November 6.
The Poms have the edge in this rivalry having registered 11 wins compared to the Proteas' nine, while one game was declared as a no result.
The last T20 match between the two nations was on 1 December 2020 and England won by nine wickets in a T20 series game that was played in Cape Town.

Rapid Response: Machida vs. Romero
On June 27, 2015 By Alex RamirezIn Editorials
On Saturday night the UFC's Fight Night card was headlined by a crucial middleweight bout between Lyoto Machida and Yoel Romero. Machida was desperately trying to erase the memory of the Luke Rockhold defeat back in April and Romero was trying to get back on the fast track to a middleweight title fight. Romero was successful with a third round TKO and showed little rust from the long layoff. What does the outcome mean for both fighters? Let us take a look in this rapid response.
For Yoel Romero the win was without a doubt the biggest win of his career. His reaction after the referee pulled him off Machida reflected the importance of the win. Romero nearly ran through the cage and into the crowd in sheer bliss. The former Olympic wrestler had been out of action since last September nursing a knee injury but if you did not know that you would have never guessed he had not fought in nearly 10 months. He showed great patience and confidence in his stand up skills before switching to his strong grappling in the third round and getting the TKO win after a series of vicious elbows landed on Machida's face.
The native of Cuba, Romero has been a professional mixed martial artist for a little over five years and is now on the verge of a title shot. His Olympic wrestling pedigree gives Romero a huge advantage against any fighter he faces which is why he has been able to make such a huge impact in such a short amount of time.
Romero has twice been scheduled to face fellow middleweight contender Jacare Souza and that seems like the natural choice for his next opponent. The UFC has already confirmed that champion Chris Weidman will take on Luke Rockhold next and it is a strong possibility that the UFC could place the Souza and Romero bout on the same card.
Former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida has been searching for another opportunity to wear gold around his waist. He lost title bout against Jon Jones and then a middleweight championship bout to Chris Weidman. He climbed back up the ranks to only lose to Luke Rockhold in April. He wanted a quick turnaround to erase the bad taste of the Rockhold loss and that proved to be a mistake as he was once again dominated on the ground in route to another loss.
Machida has proven in the past that he can handle the bottom half of the middleweight division. He has easily beaten the likes of C.B. Dollaway and Mark Munoz but has struggled with the elite fighters in the division. That could be due to age, Machida is 37 years old and has been fighting professionally since 2003. Machida's goal has never been to just collect a paycheck for fighting. He has always made it clear that it is championships or bust. The "Dragon" has always been able to get back into the title picture but with two devastating loses in a row, the championship boat may have just sailed past him.

LEGO Technic 42125 Ferrari 488 GTE "AF Corse #51" [Review]
Did you know that LEGO has been partnering with Ferrari for more than 15 years already? Over the years, the companies presented more than 50 building sets, and in 2021, the fruitful partnership continues with LEGO Technic 42125 Ferrari 488 GTE "AF Corse #51". This is the third appearance of the iconic 488 GTE in a LEGO product; in 2018, 75886 Ferrari 488 GT3 Scuderia Corsa featuring a minifigure of Danish race car driver Christina Nielsen and 75889 Ferrari Ultimate Garage came with nearly identical mini-copies of the car. The new Technic model, although still being a red Ferrari covered in a ton of stickers, has very little in common with the Speed Champions sets since it consists of 1,677 pieces and is almost half a meter long. The set will be available from January 1, 2021 for US $169.99 | CAN $229.99.
The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews.

A tale of two GTOs
The Ferrari 250 GTO may be one of the most beautiful cars ever built. It's certainly one of the most valuable, with a 1963 example currently holding the record for the world's most expensive car having sold a few years ago for $70 million. However, with its shapely curves and swooping lines, it's a challenge to translate to LEGO, which makes it quite a surprise to come across not one, but two stunning renditions in brick debuting online within short order. First up with have the 250 GTO wearing its iconic red paint job by builder Lennart Cort.
And then we have a gorgeous version by Jens M. which is modeled after a specific real example that bears the blue-and-yellow livery of its former Swedish driver.
What's fascinating to look at here is how the two builders–both excellent in their craftsmanship–have approached the model differently. Both cars are roughly the same scale (about 1/15th, according to Lennart) and despite being built completely independently of one another, employ the same tires, hubs, windscreen, and even headlights. But that's about where the overlap ends. For instance, the front fascia is radically different between the two versions, although both clearly evoke the source material. Continue reading →

Bring some bling to your brick: custom chrome Ferrari F12
During my research for our review of the new LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sián, I found myself reading about Ferrari's infamous pickiness regarding the customization owners can do to their cars. But LEGO builder Lachlan Cameron has designed a beautiful Technic Ferrari F12 and then customized it in a way that I think even Ferrari would approve–a luscious cherry chrome paint job supplied by Bubul Chrome.

A Ferrari fleet to feed your fancy
Builder Angka has shared a quartet of LEGO Ferrari models with all the style of their real-world counterparts. Just take in the lovely lines achieved in these 8-stud-wide builds. The combination of cheese slopes and curved slopes convey a real sense of aerodynamic shaping. Though structurally similar, each build has unique design elements that are worth looking for. It's left as an exercise for the reader to spot them all…but I'd be remiss if I didn't explicitly call out that amazing rubber band usage as window trim.

Ferrari 328 GTS
If you'd like to try building these models for yourself, Angka has provided an exploded view of the GTS to get you started. The design really takes advantage of modular sectioning; hopefully it will inspire others to make their own modifications to these already awesome cars. Of course, if you'd rather go "stock" you might consider LEGO Speed Champions 75890 Ferrari F40 Competizione…

Ferrari 250 GT has earned its stripes
The Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB was one of the most successful GT racing cars of the early 60s, and even without considering its trophy-winning prowess, was undoubtedly one of the coolest looking. Noah L's LEGO version is as classy as its inspiration. The model's shaping is excellent, nicely capturing the car's stylish curves. And that central tricolour stripe is just lovely.
In an impressive display of building skill, Noah has crammed in a detailed interior, an engine, and opening doors, bonnet, and boot — no mean feat in such a tight footprint.

Superfast redhead has the Italian look
It can be difficult to capture the smooth flowing lines of a beautiful sports car in LEGO without stepping up to a large scale. However Firas Abu-Jaber has managed to make this formidable challenge look easy with this excellent brick-built Ferrari Testarossa. The name means 'Redhead' in Italian, so naturally the colour scheme fits its inspiration, but the iconic shape of the famous supercar is also spot-on, with pop-up headlights, an impressively-raked windshield, and those long arcs over the wheels. However, the signature element to this car's design was always the multiple slash intakes on the vehicle's flanks, and here they're recreated perfectly. Lovely building.
Not content with nailing the sumptuous curves of the car's exterior, Firas has gone the extra mile and included a detailed interior complete with leather-look seats and a dashboard stuffed with instrumentation…

WWBFD: What would Boba Fett drive?
As you sit there musing on your vast Star Wars knowledge, do you ever ask yourself WWBFD? That is, what would Boba Fett drive? Well, according to LEGO builder brickcitywhips, the answer is a Ferrari F40. And I have to say, they make a compelling argument with this wicked overhaul of the official LEGO Ferrari F40 Creator Expert set. Sure, it's just a color swap (which is actually not even close to easy), but it's also super sweet and absolutely makes me want to build some character-inspired vehicles of my own. Maybe an R2-D2 Volkswagen Camper Van?

The little red Alfa that could
Back in the 1930s, Enzo Ferrari teamed up with automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo to make history on the racetrack. Ferrari wasn't in the business of making cars yet, but their famous prancing pony emblem was used on team Ferrari cars. One of the most famous team Ferrari Alfas was a 1934 P3, which won the 1935 German Grand Prix with Tazio Nuvolari behind the wheel. Thanks to Pixeljunkie, Team Ferrari's P3 has been brought back to life in LEGO-form. There is some excellent visual storytelling here, with an intrepid female driver making a pit stop in the woods to admire local wildlife. Both the car and surrounding landscaping look beautiful.
Like many of his other cars, Pixeljunkie places the Alfa in different scenarios. Here, we get a look under the hood at the expense of some engine trouble. Fortunately, the driver remembered to bring along her toolkit.
I particularly enjoy this playful image, which shows the driver's reflection in the car's rear view mirror. With the engine fixed, she's ready to hit the road again!
The Alfa Romeo P3 is just one in a growing number of cars built by Pixeljunkie and featured on the Brothers Brick, including a Ford Model T, Mercedes Benz W196, and Type 37A Bugatti.

How low (and fast) can you go?
Masterful builder Jarek has turned his hand away from building incredible Star Wars models to something a little closer to home in our world, but still nearly as fast. This snazzy Formula 1 Ferrari has remarkably accurate lines, something that's exceedingly difficult to accomplish in LEGO at this scale. In fact, LEGO's official designers in Billund have tried their hands at this very car, which appeared in 75889 Ferrari Ultimate Garage. He's captured the spindly nature of these heavily glorified go-karts, and even sitting still this thing looks fast.
Especially impressive, though, is that Jarek hasn't overlooked the small details, like the exposed chassis and suspension at the car's rear.

LEGO Speed Champions 75890 Ferrari F40 Competizione [Review]
LEGO owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen is famous for his love of Ferraris, and has been known to show local Danish LEGO fans around his garage full of them. So it's no surprise that LEGO has had a longstanding partnership with the Italian supercar maker, going back more than 20 years and spanning multiple themes and even systems, from Duplo to Technic. The 2019 Speed Champions 75890 Ferrari F40 Competizione features the sleek supercar built between 1987 and 1992. This version includes 198 pieces and retails for the usual $14.99 (£12.99 in the UK and $19.99 in Canada).

2명의 자녀를 둔 부부를 위한 도쿄의 이 주택은 계단과 거실, 작업실과 다락방 및 공용공간으로 구성되었다. 슬라이딩 윈도우는 내부와 연결된 데크의 일부이며, 결과적으로 공간 간의 관계는 연속적 전환을 통해 실제보다 더 큰 크기와 깊이를 표현하고자 했다.
Housing for a married couple and two children, planned in the residential area of Tokyo.The Shape of the house was made from stacked blocks cut by setback regulation, which results in boxes and voids inside of the house. Bedrooms and wet areas were stacked as boxes with different materials and finishes, the remaining void was designed as public space with living room, workspace and attic space that connected to the stairwell. When the living room is seen from windows of bedrooms, it could be considered as exterior space. At the same time, it is interior space from decks connected by sliding windows. Through this continuous transition on the relationship between spaces, living space was intended to have further depth than its actual size. In this project, real-time rendering with Unreal Engine was applied on design steps, especially on material reviews and client meetings. Also, space created on the computer was dealt with as what should be reproduced in reality, not as degraded mapping of real space. With switching materials on corners, and with edge handling that lines cross with zero clearance, expression on computer space was pursued which is texture-mapped and have no thickness. This resulted space with floating fellings, disappear on materiality. By radical pursue on virtual expression, the house was attempted to have emerging scenery of casual life and change in nature contrastively.

'No deal means no UK' - Young anti-Brexit campaigners in warning to Tories
Published: 12:24 PM August 13, 2019 Updated: 8:45 AM September 18, 2020

Young activists have gathered outside the Scottish Tory headquarters in Edinburgh to warn against the threat of a no-deal Brexit to the UK.
The demonstrators from anti-Brexit campaign group Our Future, Our Choice wore masks of Brexiteers including prime minister Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nigel Farage, and unfurled a banner that read: "No Deal = No UK".
The group said leaving the EU without a deal in place would risk the future of the UK, with a Lord Ashcroft poll last week indicating a swing in favour of Scottish independence.
Harry McNeill, Our Future, Our Choice Scotland director told PA: "While Ruth Davidson has paid lip service to rejecting a no-deal Brexit, the reality is that she and the rest of the Scottish Conservatives have done very little in practice to change party policy on the issue.
"If the Scottish Conservatives are serious about saving the union they must put national interest ahead of party unity and actively campaign to stop this Brexit at any cost mentality that has gripped the Tory Party."
MORE: Mitch Benn - It's time for Remainers to reclaim the union flag from the Brexiteers
A spokesman for the Scottish Conservatives said: "Unlike the SNP and Labour MPs, all 13 Scottish Conservative MPs sought to take no-deal off the table in April by voting in favour of a deal.
"Unfortunately, SNP and Labour refused to compromise, meaning the deal did not pass.
"This campaign group might be better asking the SNP and Labour why they spurned the chance to deliver an orderly Brexit when they had the chance."

UK release date 12.12.2011
If you know who Jean Wells is, you don't need me to tell you much about her wonderful music. If she is a new name to you, and you love great soul voices and great soul music, then read on. Think Betty Wright, Aretha, Bettye Lavette………….Jean Wells has without doubt, one of the very best voices in soul music there ever was. Fact.
Jean's stunning album "Soul On Soul," has been released by UK label Bbe Records on CD, and gives us a stonking 24 tracks in total, three of which are previously unreleased. This album perfectly showcases just how good Jean was, and if talent should equal success; how she should have been as big as her contemporaries.
I could end this review here and just advise you to go buy this album now, stick it on and thank me, and more importantly Bbe Records later. But Ms Wells deserves more attention, so let's give you some background and a taster of what to expect on this amazing record.
Jean was born in 1942, in West Palm Beach, Florida and raised in Belle Glade, Florida near the state's Lake Okeechobee. She taught herself piano. She sang in gospel groups as a child, formed a girl group with friends whilst she was at High School, and turned to secular singing at the age of 17, when she left home and headed for Philadelphia. A city that would become her musical base throughout her career. She sang in the clubs there in the early 60s. She began her recording career for the tiny Quaker Town label. Her first single, "Song Of The Bells," was successful enough locally that the label released two further releases: "If He's A Good Man" and "I Know He Loves Me", neither of which managed to build on the success, and remained unknown outside of the local area.
Jean went back home to Florida, but she returned to Philly to record a single, "Don't Come Running Back To Me" and "Little Boots" for ABC-Paramount, before heading back south once more. She was discovered by producer Clyde Otis in 1966. He had her signed to New York-based Calla Records by 1967.There she had success with "After Loving You,"' which got into the R&B chart. Two more that year, "I Feel Good" and the more successful "Have A Little Mercy" which featured the Northern Soul classic on the B-side, "'With My Love and What You've Got."
Jean's final chart record was in 1968, and further work with other labels was unsuccessful. Despite her amazing voice, and soul in every pore, she was never considered a big name act in those days. Her highest Billboard chart position was 25. The faith of Clyde Otis, a producer and A&R man who had great success at Mercury Records where he had produced Brook Benton, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan in the late 50s, and Clyde McPhatter who he signed to the label in 1960, sustained Jean's career. Since striking out on his own he had produced some of Aretha Franklin's pre-Atlantic recordings for Columbia, including "One Step At A Time," which has recently been revived by soul DJs and producers of re-edits.
With Jean he saw a singer who could be every bit as good as Aretha or Dinah Washington, similar big sounding singers.
It is the music she released with Otis that forms this new retrospective on BBE Records, including most of the singles, and three unreleased tracks. She's prized by the Northern Soulers, but not particularly well-known overall. A decade after joining forces with Otis, she had left the industry and went into the gospel field. It is unknown if she is alive or dead, and if still with us at 70 years old, if she is still singing.
All the tracks here have been re-mastered from the original tapes. The CD is presented in high quality packaging and the three unreleased tracks were discovered on the master tapes. Extensive sleeve notes written by DJ and compiler Dean Rudland. Her biggest hit "Have A Little Mercy" from 1967 opens proceedings, a glorious slice of deep soul, a plea to a lover, whom she is addicted to, but who doesn't seem to notice. Yet at the time this record only reached number 25 in the R&B charts. Her gospel-trained voice perfectly encapsulating those feelings, while a stark arrangement dominated by an ethereal organ and dramatic horn stabs heightens the unbearable effect this man is having on Jean's life.
Jean's first single with Otis is perhaps the most obscure track on this compilation. The deep soul ballad "If You Ever Loved Someone" which was coupled with "Hello Baby, Goodbye Too," also found here, and released on Juggy Murray's Sue Records subsidiary, Eastern. It failed to chart, but it spread the word that here was a huge talent.
As Jean worked on new material with Clyde, her producer was sorting out a new label for her to appear on, following the demise of Juggy Murray's labels late in 1966. He signed a deal with Nate McCalla's Calla Records. Her first single on the label was the self-written "After Loving You" (track three here) a storming club soul cut with a relentless beat. It was coupled with "Puttin' The Best On The Outside," offered here too, which sounded as if it could have been written several years earlier. It was a successful start to her time at the label charting at number 31 in Billboard's R&B chart. The follow up "I Feel Good" found on this CD at track 12, was another dancer that peaked at number 33. It was the next release that was the big one and "Have A Little Mercy" burst out of the speakers over the Christmas period of 1967, heading to a peak of number 25. On the flip was a glorious northern soul style dancer "With My Love And What You've Got (We Could Turn This World Around,)" complete with a vibes-filled rhythm section, selected here.
Otis took the logical step of following "Mercy" with another deep soul ballad; his own "Sit Down and Cry." Once more, Jean reaches far inside herself and drags every ounce of emotion from the song in a jaw-dropping performance. It was perhaps a little too intense to be popular, and the single became her first on Calla not to make the R&B charts. She returned to the charts with her very next single, though it would be for the last time. This time the lead number "Try Me & See" was firmly up-tempo, written to sound like Aretha Franklin's then current hits such as "Respect" or Don Covay penned "See Saw". It reached number 45 backed with "Best Thing For You Baby,"- that B-side not featured on this album.
At this time Calla also tried to capitalise on her success by releasing the album "World, Here Comes Jean Wells," in 1968, but it sank without a trace and is now a sought after collectors item. Jean released three more singles on Calla, each one either trying to replicate the success of her previous work or the then current sounds in the pop charts. The best of these was her December 1968 "What Have I Got To Lose," a swaying soul dancer written by Jean, and which in recent years has seen action in the rare soul clubs, here at track 18. BBE have used this as the first single from the album.
Despite Calla losing interest after the 1969 single "Our Sweet Love Turned Bitter," and B-side "Keep Your Mouth Shut (and Your Eyes Open," both here, Clyde Otis kept the faith, and Jean's next single appeared on the Philadelphia independent Volare recycling "Keep Your Mouth Shut," with the slow funk of: "I Couldn't Love You More Than I Do Now," which makes an appearance on the Bbe album. Jerry 'Swamp Dogg' Williams Canyon label was where her next single turned up. This was the stridently funky "He Ain't Doing Bad" and the wah wah laden "Somebody's Been Loving You (But It Ain't Been Me.)" These two tracks were recorded in Philadelphia by Earl Young, Norman Harris and Ron Baker. In fine form on this as a re-mastered versions. The trio would become the basis of the 1970s Philadelphia Sound and were on hundreds of classic disco and soul recording, as well as being behind legendary disco group the Trammps. Clyde Otis employed them for what was supposedly lined up to be an album project on Jean, but only five tracks were cut.
As well as the two that appeared on the single, there is the atmospheric "Roll Up Your Sleeves, Come Out Lovin," on track 17 here, which features a very advanced for the time, synthesiser led backing track, and "Take Time To Make Time For Me." "Keep On Doing It," a funk vibe with a Philly swing to the rhythm section. It appeared briefly as a single on Law-Ton in 1972. These were to be the final recordings that Jean made in this part of her career. She made two slight returns to secular music. In 1979 she made the disco/ boogie single "I Just Can't Stop Dancing" for the Philadelphia based TEC label. Two years later she was back again, still in the city that she called home, for the disco album "Number One" for Sunshine Recordings.
Jean Wells, "Soul On Soul" is ESSENTIAL music, and a must-have for soul fans and those of us who adore unearthing rare grooves and being able to play them to death, without affecting the value of an expensive vinyl find. Don't ya just love those Bbe peeps?

};

class Owner
{
public:
    Ownee& GetOwnee() const
    {
        return _ownee;
    }

private:
    Ownee _ownee;
};

I seem to recall reading long ago that the first option is better than the second option, but I can't remember why.  I want to say because there is less coupling between users of Owner and Ownee.  Clients would only need to know about Owner's interface and not Ownee's whereas with the second option clients would need to be aware of both Owner's and Ownee's interfaces.

A: One's not superior in every regard, in every case. However, wrapping the interfaces and encapsulating the members (the first one) is generally preferable.
A class and its members have special relationships. A class often uses its interface to restrict functionality to operate within the domain it is intended, and it may be used to for additional internal state validation and to improve program correctness.
When well encapsulated, the Owner has far more freedom to change its implementation or members as needed.
Exposing members can often lead to higher coupling, and ultimately push a lot of long term maintenance onto the client (resulting in more bugs, and redundant implementations for the client). A rather obvious example of this: assume the Owner has two members, and thread safety must be guaranteed -- it makes little sense to push that responsibility onto the clients, and to expect the clients to implement and maintain thread safety over several changes over several years. However, the Owner can abstract all that, and alter its implementation appropriately when its implementation changes, or prevent changes to members (Ownee) from affecting clients in this regard.
Changes to the classes (either Owner or Ownee) will generally affect the client far less when its members are not exposed, and the class (Owner) provides a strict, simple interface to its functionalities.
'Performance' is often regarded as a reason to favor the second ("Just provide clients accessors"). I find that an unfounded over-simplification. Performance may be better or it may worse! It depends on many, many things in C++ when developing nontrivial programs. Again, using the locking example: a bad interface of the first and/or favoring public accessors can require far more locking. As well, the optimizer has locality of the information and its members. There may be a good amount of internal implementation and methods provided by Owner -- if that's largely private, and uses static dispatch, it can result in a very small set of exported (or inline, if you favor) methods. An accessor in itself may not be so bad, but operations and dependencies on the accessed may push a lot of instructions and dependencies out to your clients -- when your internal implementation of Owner may represent all that in a single, compact, optimized form. In C++, abstraction layers can be very cheap (often nothing if done well) when optimized. Performance swings both ways here in the real world, and depends on many variables.
Most often, I use the first form. When I use the second form, it's often with:

*

*Private/Inner classes.

*or as components of a larger system (e.g. meta-programming).

A: You are thinking of the Pimpl (pointer to implementation) idiom.
One nice way to do this is to declare the implementation class in the header file and define it in the .c file; this ensures that no one can see the details via .h inclusion.
.h file
#ifndef object_INCLUDED
#define object_INCLUDED

#include <boost/scoped_ptr.hpp>

class Object
{
public:
    //...
private:

    class ObjectImpl;
    boost::scoped_ptr<ObjectImpl> impl_;

Whether it's curled up in the fetal position , flat on the stomach or stretched out across the bed, the way people sleep reveals their personality, a British sleep expert said. The expert has identified six common sleeping positions and what they mean. "We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our subconscious says about us, " he said. Crouched in the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern and favored by 51 percent of women, according to the results of the study he conducted for a large hotel group. Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive while people who assume the soldier position, flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and reserved. Sleeping on one's side with legs outstretched and arms down in what he refers to as the log, indicates a social, easygoing personality. But if the arms are outstretched in the yearning position, the person tends to be more suspicious. The free fall, flat on the tummy with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6.5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually brash and gregarious. Unassuming, good listeners usually adopt the starfish position — on the back with outstretched arms and legs.The expert, who identified the positions by comparing personality traits of people.
How many sleeping positions have the expert identified and what are they?
Ⅱ. There are six positions, they are fetal position, soldier position, log position, yearning position, free fall position and starfish position.

Matt Karp: How Democrats Lost The Working Class
April 29, 2021 Hunter Wallace Alt-Center, Politics, Populists, Progressives 5
Matt Karp is my favorite college-educated Brooklyn-based socialist and historian.
We have similar views on the PMC Question. In my view, PMCs have gradually taken over the Democratic Party and have steadily pushed their bourgeois social liberalism and polarizing culture war issues which have repulsed the Heartland working class. The Republicans have capitalized on the collapse of the New Deal coalition and have steadily lured populist voters over to the GOP by focusing on the culture war in their messaging. The Republican Party has become much more working class while the Democratic Party has become much more professional class. And yet, both parties have remained stuck inside their old ideological frameworks and haven't adjusted to the fact they have exchanged their bases.
Joe Biden's Democratic Party is what we used to call the Whig Party or the old Republican Party. It is an Eastern-based party of arrogant coastal elites who feel entitled to rule this country, utopian social reformers, upper middle class professionals, Wall Street and Big Business. Whereas the New Deal coalition was a populist-progressive coalition, Joe Biden's Democratic Party is based on woke progressivism, which has irreconcilable differences with populism. As a result of this, the Republican Party is now based on a populist-conservative coalition like in the Jackson era or the Bryan era.
Both parties increasingly sound like their historical predecessors even though in terms of ideology and policy and in terms of the gerontocracy in Congress they are still trapped in "liberalism" vs. "conservatism" even though that is not the debate that is even going on anymore. The Republican base is now largely composed of rural voters, workers and small businessmen like the Jackson and Bryan era while the Democratic Party has become the choice of affluent voters with cosmopolitan values.

I read this same article 25 year ago in the days of Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council. All the "progressives" complained about Clinton's "Third Way Centrism," meaning Neo-Liberalism.
But those "progressives" weren't particularly interested in opposing neo-liberalism more than rhetorically because their real agenda was to promote mass immigration and to attack American citizens they racialized as "white but not Jewish or Hispanic" as "racists" and "sexists" and "anti-semitic" and "homophobic" for opposing being replaced by foreigners.
If a progressive dares to oppose mass immigration they immediately become a "Nazi" – see, Aimee Terese and Angela Nagle.
""…If a progressive dares to oppose…""
And this is very good. Non of the hive can`t say that we are wrong and should change the course. So entire hive goes over the cliff and nobody can`t stop that.
I'm pretty sure everyone who rejects wokeness is now by definition a reactionary who believes the past was better than the present. There is no such thing as the "far right"

Q: I cannot detect a location inside a building I work on an indoor tracking project using android.I used Gps to detect location but it does not work correctly at indoor tracking
How can I solve this problem?

A: If you GPS signal is bad there are 2 things you can do.
One is: improve you reception (e.g. remove the roof, good outside, replace roof with glass). Now this might be a little ... tricky
The other one is: use a different technique. Bluetooth tracking (BLE beacon) for instance.
You cannot 'amplify' GPS signal. The system works by finding out how long it takes a singal to go from several satallites to your phone. If you 'repeat' or amplify the system it is going to give false results. So you can not do stuff like "put an antenna on the roof", as all your locations would return the location of the antenna.

If you have been around information technology for more than a few years I would bet this is not the first time you have read or heard something like that. It was almost a mantra for IT organizations for many years in the 1990s and 2000s.
As IT departments focused on operational efficiency, they were happy to syphon off their application development expertise and get what they needed from development body shops for a fraction of the price. But the app development skills boomerang they so vigorously threw away has recently returned, and it is about to deliver a knockout blow to their jaw.
Fueled, and driven, by technologies such as social media, mobility and cloud computing, it's no longer a surprise to anyone that today's customer-experience-driven economy demands compelling, engaging applications. But it's not only a technology story.
It's a story of human emotion. Customers now crave, and demand, an emotional connection with those with whom they do business. And the confluence of these things is having a profound impact on application development.
Businesses are discovering that, in order to deliver that engaging experience – that emotional connection, they need application developers that understand, and are invested in, their business.
They need to bring developers closer to the businesses, and even the business units, they serve. They need developers who understand their customers. And they need to be able to respond immediately to changes in customer sentiment, emotion, demands and events.
All of this means that businesses need to bring development skills back in-house at a time when those skills are in extremely high demand, expensive and often difficult – or impossible – to find. But are they really that difficult to find? OK, they are. Though there may be some relief.
What some organizations have forgotten is that not all of their application skills left when they stopped developing their own applications. In many cases, some of their best developers simply moved to other areas of the organization.
For example, some may have moved to IT operations, and some may have become technical resources working within specific lines of business.
Updating the skills of people like this may not be such an onerous task. What's more, some of those top-notch developers may have (likely) maintained their development skills on their own, and they may already have the up-to-date knowledge you require. For the latter especially, a return to application development may greatly increase their job satisfaction and loyalty to their employer.
That's great news for the developer, the business, and the customer. And those who went to IT operations ought to have a fantastic foundation for any DevOps initiatives you might be considering.
So when the application skills boomerang comes rushing toward your head, don't duck. Reach up and grab it. You may already have at least some of what you need in order to get a head start.

Bring the test strip and urine to room temperature (15-30C or 59-86F) for testing.
If you prefer, you can urinate into a clean dry container then dip only the Fiber Tip of the Test into the urine for 10-15 seconds.
While holding fiber tip downward, immediately replace the cap and lay the Test on a flat surface with the Test and Reference Window facing upward while you wait for the test result. DO NOT move the test while the results are developing.
Read the result in 3 minutes. If no result appears, wait one minute longer. Do not read the results after 10 minutes.
LH Surge: If two lines are visible and the Test Line is the same as or darker than the Reference Line, you have detected your LH surge and you will probably ovulate in the next 24-36 hours.
No LH Surge: If two lines are visible, but the Test Line is lighter than the Reference Line, or if there is no Test Line, you have not detected your LH surge and should continue with daily testing.
INVALID: If no line appears in the Reference Line Area, the result is invalid. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect test performance are the most likely reasons for an invalid result. Review the procedure and repeat with a new test.
You may do this test at any time of the day, but you should test at approximately the same time each day. Reduce your liquid intake for 2 hours before testing.
To decide when to begin testing, determine the length of your normal menstrual cycle. The length of your cycle is from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next (count the first day of bleeding or spotting as day 1).
If your cycle length is irregular, that is, if it varies by more than a few days each month, take the average number of days for the last 3 months. Use the chart to work out the day you should begin testing. The day you begin testing is listed opposite the number of days in your normal cycle.

Three stage victories and five days leading the field, and, on occasion, first, second and third, but also bitter setbacks on the seventh and eighth stages characterise the Volkswagen works team's results at the half-way stage.
Third place for Giniel de Villiers and fifth position for Jutta Kleinschmidt after eight of the 15 stages means that Volkswagen is in a promising position, in one of the hardest fought events in the desert rally's 28-year history, for the second half of the rally which finishes in Dakar on 15 January.
Only forty-eight hours before the rest day on 8 January in the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott, Volkswagen was constantly fighting for supremacy with the Race Touareg during the daily stages and in the overall classification: The two-time World Champion Carlos Sainz, who swapped from the World Rally Championship to cross country rallying, took the lead immediately after recording a brace of fastest times in Portugal and held the overall lead for two days. After setting another best time on the fourth stage the Spaniard and his co-driver Andreas Schulz took the lead again and held it for a further two days. Giniel de Villiers took command of the car classification, which boasted 174 competitors at the start of the rally, from his team mate on the sixth stage. On the fourth and sixth stages three of the 275 hp prototypes equipped with TDI technology from Wolfsburg lead the field, and on the fifth stage two of the new Race Touareg 2 cars.
Daily highlights in the results table underline that Volkswagen is on a par with the competition. On the extremely tough stage leading up to the rest day, Mark Miller set exactly the same stage time as fellow second finisher on the day St�phane Peterhansel, who took the overall lead for Mitsubishi.
�The thorough preparation has paid off so far, the performance is essentially good�, says Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen. �We've built a team of 78 employees, prepared systematically with tests and competitions, have developed a new car and formed the strongest team of drivers ever in the Volkswagen Motorsport's history."
In spite of all the meticulous preparation work undertaken by Volkswagen the 9,043 kilometre long desert rally proved yet again to be unpredictable � and all this in the opening half: Many top teams were frequently victims of the rules making the navigation much more difficult. Volkswagen also paid tribute to this fact: On 6 January, Giniel de Villiers and co-driver Tina Th�rner lost the lead and slipped down to fourth when they got lost. Likewise on the seventh stage, Mark Miller and Dirk von Zitzewitz found themselves running along a track, adjacent to the actual route, on which they rolled from the crest of a dune. Bruno Saby and Michel P�rin lost seven hours due to a relatively insignificant defect on a fuel line which was irreparable without special tools. Carlos Sainz and Andreas Schulz also got bogged down in the dunes on the road from Zouerat to Atar and lost more than thirty minutes.
The two Race-Truck teams have proven to be at the forefront of the battle. As the regulations state, only Klaus Leihener/Thomas Baumann/Thorsten Goldberg and Josep Pujol/Lucas Cruz Senra/Fran�ois Verbist, with their MAN L90 trucks, and along with the Race- Trucks of the other teams, are allowed to offer assistance on the daily stages which sometimes run for 800 kilometres. �They were once again our �Guardian Angels', who fought tooth and nail to help us late into the night and simultaneously competed in their own rally�, praises Kris Nissen.
The Service-Teams, like the drivers, will be under permanent stress during the second half of the rally. After 4,948 of the 9,043 kilometres exactly 54 per cent of the entire distance has been completed by the participants. The remaining seven of the 15 special stages stretch over 2,114 kilometres � as a result, 44 percent of the 4,813 special stage kilometres remain, including a marathon day where only the Race-Trucks await the five Race Touareg 2 prototypes to complete the service work on the evening of the 12 January.

England -- NATIONAL Health Service hospitals are being forced to turn away women seeking abortions because of an acute shortage of doctors willing toperform abortions. A third of junior doctors are refusing on moral grounds to conduct the operation, according to research.
The first study into conscientious objection, to be published next month, shows that in some hospitals all the junior doctors have exercised their right not to perform abortions. Nearly a quarter of NHS hospital consultants nationwide said that they could not recruit sufficient doctors to meet the demand.
The survey of 310 consultants and 226 senior registrars and senior house officers found that although more than two-thirds saw abortions as an essential part of training they could not persuade younger colleagues to view it in the same way.
David Paintin, emeritus reader in gynaecology and obstetrics at Imperial College, London, said the numbers of doctors who objected in the past were so few that it had not been an issue.
"A much wider range of junior doctors are saying that it is something they don't want to do," he said. "They find the idea of [abortion] distasteful."
Although overall the NHS funds 73% of abortions across the country, the provision varies widely between health authorities. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show the abortion rate at its highest for seven years at 13.2 abortions per 1,000 women. There were 17,000 abortions conducted in Britain last year.
A Catholic Church initiative which offers women financial support and counselling if they decide against having an abortion has resulted in 87 babies being born. The Archdiocese of Glasgow said yesterday that 41 girls and 46 boys, including three sets of twins, had been born since the scheme was launched 18 months ago.

The feelgood factor in our many heritage sites
Priva's clever climate management systems are boosting the feelgood factor in our many heritage sites
As a nation we Brits are fiercely proud of our heritage properties, and rightly so. With an incredible 61 million visits paid to these cultural gems every year, they're a hugely important part of our community. According to a recent study by Historic England, they're also great for our wellbeing – those of us who visit heritage sites a few times a year are happier and calmer, no doubt because we're taking a moment to step away from the pressures of modern life.
We need to capitalise on this happiness goldmine by making the visitor experience the best it possibly can be, but spending time in these ancient buildings often isn't very comfortable. TripAdvisor, the go-to site for travel reviews, is littered with complaints from people who've visited our beautiful historic theatres only to find them "boiling" and "too hot to enjoy the show", all because the heating can't be properly controlled. What a shame to be talking about that, instead of the dazzling performance.
On the other hand, our many ancient churches and chapels are notoriously chilly. The vaulted ceilings and thick stone walls that give them their character also make them hard to heat. The upshot is that they can be draughty and unwelcoming, especially for elderly visitors. Anyone with numb toes isn't likely to linger and marvel at the stained glass windows.
Thankfully though, it is possible to bring heritage buildings firmly into the 21st Century. Priva specialise in future-proofing our architectural gems, by sensitively installing user-friendly climate management systems. These give managers the power to flexibly control the existing heating system from a central computer. With the touch of a button, rooms can be made warmer or cooler.
Priva's technology has recently revolutionised the visitor experience at 15th Century Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, which found worldwide fame when it was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster, The Da Vinci Code. Temperatures here average 5°C in winter, but the visitor centre remains cosy.
And thanks to Priva, audiences at the Theatre Royal in Bath can enjoy a production right through to the curtain call, without being distracted by stifling heat. Previously, the heating could only be adjusted if a manager rushed back and forth between the plant rooms in each of the three auditoriums. Now, any part of the system can be adjusted remotely, with the click of a button.
Likewise, the two-million-plus visitors who visit the awe-inspiring Westminster Abbey each year are being kept at an ambient 20°C. Now, if the complex heating system develops a fault, a quick scan on a computer reveals the root cause, saving man-hours in trying to find and fix the problem.
With snow in March, rain in August and hot Indian summers, our country's weather is increasingly unpredictable, but at least Priva's technology means we can fully enjoy immersing ourselves in our architectural treasures.
Priva's book 'Future-proofing Britain's Historic Buildings' is packed into information explaining how their technology has transformed the visitor experience at some of our most beloved heritage sites. For a copy, call +44 (0)1923 813 480 or contact.priva@priva.co.uk

The case highlights the importance of a sentencing court's explanation for a substantial variance from the guidelines (and the role the defense lawyer must play in providing the judge with the requisite raw material and roadmap for a downward one). Here, Ms. Cole's husband was separately sentenced to 15 years for the same offense, and it appears the couple has young children. Accordingly, there are multiple downward variance grounds justifying this large variance, ranging from family circumstances (including the devastating effect on the children of both parents being incarcerated – a matter well-documented by social scientists), to Ms. Cole's peripheral role in the fraud scheme (a factor that has motivated many judges to depart in similar cases to probation), to the well-known iniquities and disparities of the fraud guideline (now the reform target of an ABA taskforce), which can be fleshed out at the resentencing.


Dabberjack looked at Iktria "If you don't understand the talking then just stop talking altogether" he said, dabberjack was very annoyed by Iktria, so he threw out a random idea to shut her up.
Cerise was starting to dislike this hatchling. "In case you haven't noticed, I seemed to have just hatched. And who cares if you can talk? Get over it, we can all talk. I think it's an instinct. Now calm down." She said as she glared.
She walked over to a bush and plucked a small red berry and started eating it. "If you could stop screaming, that would be nice." She said nonchalantly, but with an exasperated sigh. She walked over to a black creature with feathery wings.
"Sorry if my behavior is distasteful. I have no patience for this hatchling any more." She told him. "My name is... Cerise by the way. What's yours?"
Dabberjack made his way outside of the cave and took a look around "whoa....." he saw many trees and bushed with all sorts of fruit, and rodents running from branch to branch.
Alatum shook his head at the crying creature in annoyance.
"Your behavior seems quite appropriate to me, so there is no need to apologise." He replied. "She should not be acting as she is. I am Alatum by the way."
"I can hear you ya know! That is part of why I am upset!" Iktria yelled at the creature, "And I am going to keep acting this way until someone explains why I am able to talk and understand talk! Nicely." Iktria was furious.
She bowed her head slightly. "Nice to meet you Alatum." She turned to the blue hatchling. "And you're annoying everyone." Her scales glowed more in a flare of annoyance, but they returned to a normal glow.
She put her paw on the other's snout and pushed down.
She returned her paw and glared at her. She turned back to Alatum. "Where are we?" She asked.
"Ow!" Iktria was getting angry, "What was that for!" Iktria suddenly stopped talking, deciding she did not need this mean little dragon, "Oh never mind, I will just find someone less useless to explain things to me." And she started to slither off, though it was tough since it was her first time actually moving.
"Should we go somewhere a little more quiet?" Alatum asked his new friend.
Linden felt overwhelmed as the creatures blurted out the words. There were so many, especially from a blue hatchling, and they were difficult for a newborn foal to comprehend. But she did understand that they would not eat her, and she felt relieved. They all seemed so different, and none of them looked like her. Linden watched as a hatchling walked out of the cave. She tried to stand up, but the motion was awkward and unusual. Everyone else could move, even the strange blue hatchling.
"Excuse me," she said to two nearby hatchlings. One was silver, and the other was a color that was not yet in her vocabulary. "Do you have any tips on how to stand? I'm having some difficulty with balence.."
She rolled her eyes at Iktria. "Come on, that didn't hurt." She said as the other slithered away clumsily. "At least she shut up." She said as she turned back to him.
"I think we should. Where though?" Cerise asked. She turned her head to look around. A young, strange creature walked shakily up to them.
"Try to balance yourself. Spread all fours evenly on the ground and support yourself. Try to even out your weight. Maybe stretch out your legs." She told it in a kind voice.
Dabberjack stepped farther out of the cave and walked down to shore, being a tsunami wyvern he went for a swim in the shallow water. after his short swim he realized there were no dragons or other creatures around him, he became very unhappy.
Linden nodded at the black dragon's answer. But she was rather impatient, and tried to find a comfortable sitting position with her legs. She shifted positions several times, then attempted to stand again after a few seconds of rest. She leaned against a nearby rock, and used it to steady herself as she lifted herself up. Linden wobbled, stumbling as she placed her legs on the ground. She smiled, then continued to walk forward. Soon, she was out of the cave. There were two more hatchlings outside, both of them by a stream of something blue. The blue hatchling screamed, and Linden flinched, disliking the sharp loud sound.
"It's not dangerous, is it?" she asked.
Dabberjack splashed out of the water and headed back to the cave, where the other dragons were.
"No, its cold." Iktria said through chattering teeth, "I am scared of it, what if it freezes me?" She was glad this creature had not immediately yelled at her, at least some creatures were useful.
Troulce turned to the silver dragon, and said, hello. Could you tell me your name? I think it would be best for us to know each other better before we disperse. After all, it is safer to be in greater numbers. Troulce added inwardly, though sometimes greater numbers means more useless mouths to feed. Which is why I won't bother with the dragon that was complaining earlier. Even this soon after hatching, Troulce understood that it would be best for him to keep his snide comments to himself.
After the other feathered creature walked off to talk to the annoying dragon, Alatum turned back to Cerise.
"Let's just go into the forest a ways. I doubt that any unwanted ears would hear us in there." He said.
She nodded at the black dragon and could tell from his expression towards the skywing that he didn't like her either. "I'm Cerise, pleasant to meet your aquantaince." She greeted. She turned back to the winged horse. "Yes, that seems like a nice spot." She replied, looking at how the sun stroke nicely in the forest.
Lydia just looked at all the other dragons and snorted. These dragons are wasting my time. She thought. Lydia felt hungry she looked again at the other dragons as well as the Pegasus and Hippogriff, "I'm going to find something too eat. Do any of you want to come with me?"
Linden dipped her paw into the water. She felt a chill, then used a small amount of courage to wade deeper in. She retreated after a meter and a half of investigating, since the water level was too high for her comfort, and because of the prescence of something gooey under her, which almost caused her to slip.
"It's not cold enough to freeze anything," Linden reported. "But I might be better insulated than you, because of my feathers. What's your name, by the way?"
As Dabberjack made his way into the cave he noticed a squirrel sorting its nuts. It's not the best meal, but I might as well try He thought. Dabberjack snuck up behind the squirrel and moments before it noticed him, it was in his jaws. Dabberjack entered the cave with his first meal, of his life, and began to eat.

Exotic Matter Launches Today July 6th in Early Access on Steam 12 pm PDT
Philip Federico July 7, 2018 No Comments
Minecraft Meets Metroid – Survive, Explore and Build on a Mysterious Alien Planet Full of Dangers and Secrets.
Exotic Matter is launching their early access edition on steam today July 6th at 12 pm PDT, and as an early bird deal, they will be selling it at 10% off the regular price of 19.99 USD during the first week.
In Exotic Matter, you'll find yourself shipwrecked on an alien planet, light-years away from earth and your primary mission is to survive. Freely explore the open-world of planet 'Xcylin' and dive deep into the roguelike underground facilities of an extinct race to fight the Thanatos and craft your way back home to save yourself and the entire human race. Exotic Matter is not only a game; it's a full-fledged voxel engine that enables players to create their items/weapons/blocks and even their planet types.
"Most voxel games don't give you any direction. No specific goal or mission to accomplish. With Exotic Matter, we are trying something different. We drop players on an alien world with a singular goal and a few hints about how to accomplish it, then leave how to proceed up to them. It's a voxel survival game with a goal, a story, and a carefully designed procedurally-generated Metroidvania world. Not only do you have to survive but you have to explore countless alien facilities in order to succeed and improve your abilities. How the story unfolds, and whether or not you'll make it, is totally up to you. I like to think it's a unique approach to the genre: a voxel Metroidvania!" –Florian Frankenberger, Lead Developer
Audio Version of the developer statement above: http://m-gam.es/ExoticMatterDevStatement
