Entire families came by bike to the food truck festival. Usually empty, this lawn in Grey Park was transformed into a great community destination.
Evanston's Grey Park is like so many under-performing public spaces: beautiful but avoided because the presence of one group (in this case, the residents of Albany Care, an intermediate care facility for people recovering from chronic mental illness) dominates the park and there aren't enough other positive activities to attract other groups. The playground is often empty, and despite being surrounded by many destinations neighbors frequent daily, this beautiful space is feared. The Trib says Grey Park is host to "a turf war between mentally ill patients and parents who live nearby."So, what can be done to turn this park into an active, safe, inclusive destination?
People of all ages like food trucks! Flirty Cupcakes sold out within hours.
Big problems don't always need big solutions. The answer may be as simple as cupcakes and empanadas. The community-led Evanston Parks Coalition (EPC) organized a food truck festival to raise money so that PPS could help lead a community-based visioning process. But the fundraiser did far more than just move them toward that goal: it changed the community's perception of the space by transforming it into a great destination that brought hundreds of neighbors out to enjoy a park they usually just hurry past—all without costly, permanent infrastructure changes. It's a great "lighter, quicker, cheaper" way to test out longer-term changes to the park.
The EPC is led by a few "zealous nuts" (our highest praise for a local, dedicated Placemaking leader). Belén is chief among them and she is committed to a vision of a park with "features and activities that are common, that everyone—children, the mentally ill, parents, professionals, etc.—can enjoy." Right along with her organizing the event were volunteers from The Center for Independent Futures, a non-profit for people with disabilities, and some residents from Albany Care. Belén says "we are big believers in the power of food" to create common ground.
Belén said many people who attended the festival asked, "Why don't we do this every week?" Many of the vendors recruited for the day quickly sold out and the park was packed with families from the neighborhood. But it wasn't just about the food: the festival also featured bands, a Spanish/English sing along, and a zumba class—all of which neighbors donated.
Dogs and kids played together during the festival.
The park has a lot of potential to become a great neighborhood gathering place. It has what PPS calls "good bones:" it's large, green, and surrounded by a number of important destinations that people visit every day. Grey Park is right on an important north-south road that's a main artery for the town and is at the entrance to the business district. Two blocks away are an L and Metra stops, a major transportation hub, and then there are four schools (an elementary school, middle school, catholic school and school for children with disabilities). Charles Grey, who gave the park, bought the land at that location because of its proximity to the schools and downtown.
The park's playground on a typical day. Neighbors say it's usually a "de facto smoking area" with no kids.
The same park during the festival is packed with families enjoying the playground.
Next steps Already there are plans in the work for another Food Truck Festival next year. Organizers say they're thinking of expanding the festival by stationing food trucks in different parks throughout Evanston. Belén also wants to put out bike rentals so people could bike around Evanston.When used strategically, putting out affordable, good food can actually create an inclusive, comfortable setting that welcomes many different kinds of people. Evanston shows how food trucks can be a "lighter, quicker, cheaper" strategy to transform a maligned, deserted park into a hub of neighborhood activity that sets the stage for future changes, local investment, and even new friendships.
Show Solutions: Big problems don't necessarily need big solutions. Redesign is often thought of as tearing up the park and adding lots of new features. In our case, the park is beautiful. Some programming and some key new features will go a long way.
Triangulate: Blur the line between playground and kiosk. We wanted to show that it is very easy to supervise children playing as a collective of adults. If all the adults are eating or picnicking, children will just play together in close watch. And children don't need playgrounds! (Playgrounds are expensive!).
Observe where people picnic: They'll choose promising parts of the park! Picnics are a great way to find out the most desirable spots. People will put their blankets down in promising parts of the park. Surprisingly, people laid blankets in close proximity to the tables where the mentally ill always sit––the infamous tables at the heart of the controversy! People won't set up camp if they feel uneasy.
Schedule events throughout the park to test the performance of various existing features. We learned a lot about our amphitheater by observing the way people used it. We had planned to do daytime performances there but it turns out it was way too sunny (even though it was a cool day). Lesson learned: No performances at lunch time, unless there is a tarp. Upside: We discovered the amphitheater would make a great space for water shoots for kids. Adults could sunbathe and children waddle. In the evening, when the water is off, performers could set up shop.
Park Trucks Strategically: Experiment with Traffic Calming. People generally perceive most of the space in Grey Park as unusable because it is at the intersection of two main streets. We purposely put the trucks close to the busiest streets, to show that the park is so big that the traffic is actually quite far away. It is safe to use those parts of the park, even for children.
Think Like A Truck. Food trucks have followers on Twitter. Use their social networks to attract large numbers of unprejudiced users to your park. Also make sure your trucks get there early. Otherwise you will have permanent lines. Remember, truck foodies arrive ahead of time!

If I want to have a "leader board" shown in the game won / game over screens, it would be nice too if the player can have a look at her performance. My idea is that you're evaluated either on the distance you covered (when game over) or on the time you took to beat the game (when congratulated). A good time to report that to the player is when we're loading the level, but by then the screen settings are fairly locked.
It looks however, that if I hack the 'window control register' WIN_OUT while we're updating the picture shown on the bottom screen, I could use sprites on the top screen to render some digits without messing up with the scene setup. That's only part of the solution (I'll also need some tiles with digits, which I haven't in the sprites tileset atm), but it's better than nothing.
And it looks like I should be able to use the last 16 tiles of the spriteset to put some 8x8 digits font... We'll see that some tomorrow.

"Alicia and her hubby began dating in 1997 and dated for eight years before marrying at Lake Tahoe in 2005.Amy Heckerling, the film's director, spoke with The Hollywood Reporter last year about how she came up with the film's most iconic phrase, "As if!There were rumors about Meyer dating Jennifer Love Hewitt but, in an interview, she said that she is like a little sister to him. There were a lot of rumors about him having a girlfriend, but, he never commented on anything and those rumors were short lived.No affair was said to be the reason for the separation.But he's definitely the guy you want to hang out and listen to Rush with. Stoned since the third grade, Ridgemont High senior Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) is the classic California surfer dude and main source of frustration for history teacher Mr. Spicoli is often tardy, never has any money due to not having a job, and pretty much only cares about the Rolling Stones and having "some tasty waves and a cool buzz." However, Spicoli earned our undying love for ordering a pizza for himself in the middle of Mr. ""I am always compiling slang words because I am just interested in how people use language," she told THR.
We happen to think it's pretty ingenious that he keeps his bongs in the kitchen so he's closer to the fridge when the munchies hit.Both Meyer and Kaplan did not jump into the next relationship soon after the separation.This indicated that they were not in a relationship with anyone when their marriage was failing.A whopping 22 years after Clueless rocked the world with its bright colors, quotable dialogue and head-bopping soundtrack, Alicia Silverstone, who played the film's central role of Cher Horowitz, booked it to the Hollywood Forever cemetery in Los Angeles on Sunday to make a surprise cameo at a very special screening of the film.The 40-year-old actress, who was decked out in a baby pink sleeveless top and floral skirt (which would have absolutely been in Cher's repertoire) also treated the crew of fans to a mini reunion with her co-star, Breckin Meyer, who famously played Travis Birkenstock in the movie.It was said that the trail was a smooth one, but, the separation process was not easy for the couple.There were rumors about Meyer being bisexual, but, it was said to be part of a scene from his movie and has nothing to do with his real life.dating and he's "Stacey's neighbor's nephew." Do you believe it?Looks like Stacey Dash has a new man to go with her new job -- and he's more than 20 years her junior!We all knew (or were) that one kid back in high school or college who would rather pass a joint than pass class.Hollywood is just as fond of these cannabis-loving classmates, which is why we compiled a list of our favorite after school (or during school) stoners who redefine the meaning of the term "higher education." Travis Birkenstock (Breckin Meyer) might occasionally say dumb things at school and be the recipient of the most tardies in his class due to his cravings for Egg Mc Muffins, but that doesn't stop him from immediately catching the eye of new transfer student Tai (Brittany Murphy).

Poverty and corruption, the breeding ground for a massive social explosion in Iran
May 6, 2020 | Hamid Enayat | Print Article

A 12-year-old girl committed suicide in the city of Ilam after burning her rag so that no one could see the poverty in which her family was immersed. This tragic story was recently published in the pro-government newspaper Jahane Sanat in the context of the loss of part of Iran's budget, which was accounted by the Supreme Audit Court of Iran.
Jahane Sanat pointed up how unfair it is that of the almost 5 billion dollars from Iran's budget that were allocated to the purchase of goods, nothing was received. In the meantime, this poor girl, like millions of children in Iran, was burned in poverty.
Akbar Torkan, a former consultant of President Hassan Rouhani, referred to the Supreme Audit Court of Iran's report which claimed that 20 billion dollars are being sold by a meager price to a few people for the import of goods that they end up selling to people for several times the price. "This fraud has been going on for a long time", stated Torkan to Etemad Newspaper (April 18, 2020).
The financial consequence of this currency theft equals about 160,000 billion tomans, which exceeds Iran's general budget in the examined year. Torkan added: "We know that this has been the case throughout the past 40 years. From the time when the currency value was 7 tomans, 60 tomans, 170 tomans, 300 tomans, 500 tomans, 950 tomans until 3,000 tomans, and finally, 4,200 tomans. The oil has always been sold cheap wasting huge sums that belonged to the Iranians".
However, the regime claims that it is unable to cope with the Coronavirus due to sanctions and requested a 5-billion-dollar loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Following Rouhani's order for workers to return to their jobs since April 11 -arguing the lack of money in the treasury- even many regime's officials protested and requested the use of the funds owned by the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the powerful agencies under his influence, which amount hundreds of billions of dollars, to fight against the spread of COVID-19.
Masih Mohajeri, editor in chief of the Islamic Republican newspaper -that was founded by Khamenei-, wrote "For a definitive resolution, the great financial powers, whose assets belong to the people, must be involved. They include the Execution of Imam Khomeini's Order, the Mostazafan Foundation, and Astan Quds Razavi. If used for helping people affected by the virus, Could the extensive resources owned by these organizations solve their problems in the shortest possible time?".
The state-owned newspaper Setare Sobh stated on April 11, that two members of the parliament -Shahabaddin Bimeghdar and Gholamreza Heydari- demanded the use of the above mentioned organizations' assets for the benefit of the people in this dramatic situation. The same day, Arman newspaper quoted Ali Mohammad Namazi, chairman of the assembly of representatives: "People have the right to question what the authorities have been doing in the last 30 years that despite the 3,000 billion dollars oil revenue, the middle and lower classes cannot endure three months of quarantine with no income. Second, and worse yet, Is the treasure so empty that the government cannot afford to pay the owners of non-governmental businesses without using financial reserves? Is this the example of successful administration that we wanted to show the world?".
While the people has lost all the trust in the government, the institutional corruption of all these years, the looting and the loss of production foundations have resulted in the collapse of the middle class, which has always remained calm and balanced. Now, we can a massive explosion of society and this is what the regime fears the most.
It is no longer a matter of whether or not there will be an explosion, but knowing when it will happen. Khamenei said that he intends to create an opportunity out of the corona disaster. By removing quarantine and the social distancing meassures, the Iranian regime wants to exhaust the young and rebels with a mass slaughter in hopes of defusing this explosion.

Approved the First Section of the Remuneration Report foreseen by art. 123-ter of the TUF
Appointment of the firm for the statutory audit: EY SpA
Appointment of two directors: Giulio Gallazzi and Piero Manzoni

The Shareholders' Meeting reviewed and approved the draft financial statements and took note of the presentation of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2016.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2016
Revenues amounted to Euro 84.2 million. The decrease compared to the previous year (Euro 368.7 million; -77%) is attributable to the significant reduction in energy management business, resulting by the exit from the consolidation scope of Free Energia, pending the acquisition of a target company operating in the same sector (as already indicated in the Group's strategic guidelines), in order to don't change substantially the business model. The revenues of the acquired companies Softeco Sismat and Selesoft Consulting entered, however, in the scope of consolidation since 1 November 2016, following the signing of the relevant investment contracts.
EBITDA amounted to Euro 17.3 million (Euro 25.2 million at December 31, 2015, -31.3%). The EBITDA margin amounted to 20.6%.
Net operating income (EBIT) amounted to Euro 8.1 million (Euro 17.1 million as at December 31, 2015), after depreciation, amortization and non-recurring write-downs of Euro 9.2 million (Euro 8.1 million total in 2015). In particular, this result is affected by the negative effects arising from write-downs of investments in Veneto Banca, as well as other operating and financial assets totaling Euro 3.8 million.
Net income, which includes the share of earnings from the activity of JV, amounted to Euro 1.15 million (Euro 2.6 million as at 31/12/2015; -55%), while the profit before tax (EBT) amounted to Euro 2.4 million.
Net financial position (NFP) was Euro 93.9 million (Euro 89.5 million at 30/09/2016), growing for entry into the perimeter of the Group companies and Softeco Selesoft. The current NFP is equal to Euro 78 million, while the short-term NFP amounted to Euro 15.7 million. The ratio NFP/EBITDA was 5.4x (compared to 3,46x of the year 2015).
Net equity amounted to Euro 57.5 million (Euro 54.2 million at 30/09/2016), while the Immobilized capital amounted to Euro 150.7 million, of which Euro 79.4 million related to tangible assets. Net equity takes into account the treasury shares held in portfolio, which amounted to no. 1,012,224.
TERNIENERGIA SPA RESULTS AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2016
Net revenues amounted to Euro 30.7 million (Euro 32.2 million at 31/12/2015). EBITDA amounted to Euro 3.9 million (Euro 11.5 million as at 31/12/2015). The Net result was a loss of Euro 6.7 million (Euro 2.1 million as at 31/12/2015).
REMUNERATION REPORT EX ART. 123-TER D. DECREE 58/98
The Shareholders' meeting approved the Remuneration Report of Directors and Managing Directors with strategic responsibility provided by art. 123-ter of D. Decree 58/98
APPOINTMENT OF STATUTORY AUDIT
It is recalled that, with the approval of the financial statements as at December 31, 2016, expired the appointment of statutory audit conferred for 2008-2016 to PWC SpA expired. Based on the reasoned proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Shareholders' meeting has conferred today the mandate for the statutory audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements as well as of the consolidated half-yearly report of TerniEnergia SpA to the company EY SpA for the years 2017 to 2025.
APPOINTMENT OF TWO BOARD DIRECTORS
The Shareholders' Meeting has also ratified the nomination for co-optation as Board Directors of ing. Piero Manzoni and Dr. Giulio Gallazzi, replacing Dr. Massimiliano Salvi and rag. Domenico De Marinis, confirming in 9 the number of members of the Board of Directors, as resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2016. By ratifying the appointments, the Shareholders' Meeting conducted an analysis and verification of possible conflicts of interest, including potential, between the office assumed by Manzoni and those held in companies controlled by his own family and has authorized the same in general and preventive, to act as executive director of the Company (ex art. 2390 Cod. Civ).
Mr Manzoni and Mr Gallazzi will remain in office until the expiry of the current Board of Directors and until the date of the meeting called for the approval of the financial statements for the year ended at December 31, 2018. Following the new appointments, the Board of Directors is composed as follows: Stefano Neri (Chairman with executive powers), Fabrizio Venturi (with executive powers), Laura Bizzarri (with executive powers), Piero Manzoni, Giulio Gallazzi, Monica Federici, Paolo Ottone Migliavacca (Independent), Mario Marco Molteni (Independent) and Laura Rossi (Independent). According to the Company's announcement, ing. Piero Manzoni and Dr. Giulio Gallazzi have no shares in TerniEnergia SpA.
REMUNERATION AND INCENTIVATION POLICIES
The Shareholders' Meeting approved the Company and Group Policy on Remuneration and Incentives, which provides for the gross amount for the annual remuneration of the Board of Directors of Euro 720,000 plus legal fees and contributions. In addition, it is noted that with regard to the variable remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 27, 2016, the same variable remuneration is confirmed for executive directors and managers with strategic responsibilities for the years 2017 and 2018, specifying that this will not be due to those who will benefit of the 2017-2019 Stock Grant Plan.
STOCK GRANT PLAN 2017-2019
The Shareholders' Meeting approved the incentive and loyalty plan (the "Stock Grant Plan 2017-2019" – the "Plan") based on Company's actions in favor of top management. The Shareholders' Meeting resolved to give the Board of Directors all the powers necessary for the actual implementation of the aforementioned Stock Grant Plan 2017-2019. To this end, by way of example and not exhaustive, the Board may, after hearing the Remuneration Committee, with the faculty of subdelegation, (i) implement the Plan by drafting the Rules; (ii) nominally identify the beneficiaries thereof; (iii) determine the number of rights to receive free shares of the Company to be assigned to each beneficiary; (iv) prepare and approve the documentation related to the implementation of the Plan.
In particular, the Plan provides free allocation to the beneficiaries of rights of free allocation up to maximum no. 2,354,478 shares subject to the achievement of predetermined performance targets. The Plan provides for the allocation of the shares to be conditioned (i) to the achievement of specific performance targets; and (ii) the fact that an employee relationship exists between the beneficiary and the Company or one of the subsidiaries on the date of the assignment of the shares. The shares in service of the Plan, in compliance with the applicable law provisions, will earn on a free share capital increase pursuant to Article 2349, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code.
For any further details regarding the Plan, please refer to the Information Document prepared in accordance with Article 84-bis of Consob Regulation no. 11971/99 on Issuers, in pursuance of the provisions of Article 114-bis of Legislative Decree no. 58/98 (TUF).
CONSTITUTION OF A CONSTRAINED PROFITS RESERVE AT THE SERVICE OF STOCK GRANT PLAN
The Shareholders' Meeting has finally resolved to ensure as of now the establishment of a specific reserve of liable equity to the aforementioned Stock Grant Plan 2017-2019, entitled "Reserve for a capital increase at the service of the 2017-2019 Grant Plan", for a total of Euro 2,959,862, to be taken from a pre-existing reserve of free assets fed by "indefinite profits", identified in the "Extraordinary Reserve".

British authorities got an unexpected visit from Batman last week when the caped crusader strolled into a local police station and handed over a wanted criminal.
An unidentified man wearing a vintage style Batman costume, complete with cape and mask, has apparently been fighting crime in the city of Bradford. Last week, he nabbed a suspect and delivered him straight into the hands of officers at the Trafalgar House police station.
The crime-fighting superhero was captured on closed circuit television cameras as he reportedly dragged the criminal into the station in the early morning hours of February 25, much to the surprise of the officers on duty.
Media outlets have described the mysterious vigilante as a slightly overweight gentleman dressed in full Batman regalia.
While his costume was reportedly closer to what you might find in a Halloween shop than the sleek suit seen in Hollywood blockbusters, it certainly didn't detract from his crime-fighting mission.
According to The Guardian, the unfortunate target of Batman's brand of justice was indeed wanted by police. The 27-year old male suspect was quickly arrested on suspicion of burglary, breaching a court order, and fraud.
He is scheduled to appear in Bradford magistrates court on March 8 to face charges stemming from the handling of stolen property and various fraud-related offenses.
As for the curious Batman-attired vigilante, police have yet to determine his identity. However, because authorities had not publicly shared information about their search for the wanted criminal, they suspect the homegrown crusader may have known the suspect personally.
It remains to be seen if Britain's Batman will come forward or, in true superhero fashion, remain a mystery.

Evolution of World-Wide Lottery
Lotteries form an integral part of the national fabric of any country. References to lottery can be traced back to ancient times - as far back as the Pharaohs in Egypt. They also find mention in the Bible in the Book of Numbers of the Old Testament.
Between 205 and 187 B.C. during the Han Dynasty in China, a lottery-like game called Keno was played which is believed to have been used to finance government projects, including the Great Wall of China! References to lottery can be found in ancient Greece in Homer's The Iliad. Officially the oldest lottery in the world is the Netherlands Lottery known as the Dutch National Lottery, which was founded in 1726, and is operational even today.
Background of Lottery in Europe
Lotteries have always thrived in Europe and are believed to have begun as far as the times of Julius Caesar, in the first century before Christ. Caesar is believed to have introduced a lottery to raise funds for repairs in the city of Rome. In 1434, the earliest public lottery went on record in the Dutch town of Sluis. In fact the word 'lottery' is derived from the Dutch word 'loterij' which originates from the Dutch noun 'lot' meaning "fate".
The first recorded British lottery was chartered by Queen Elizabeth I in 1566 and not drawn until 1569. In 1612, King James I approved the first English Lottery by royal decree, granting the Virginia Company of London the right to raise money to build a colony in Virginia, America. Over 200 lotteries permitted between 1744 and the American Revolution, played an important role in the funding of roads, bridges, libraries, churches, colleges, and other public works. In 1753, a lottery was held to finance the building of the British museum.
American Lottery History
Lotteries were standard sources for public and private financing in the US during the late 18th century. The initial financing of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania was by lotteries. Lotteries also played a part in supporting the war efforts during the French Wars and the American Revolution.
By the late 19th century however, lotteries got embroiled in scandals and mismanagement and were banned in many American states. Church-led organizations led the campaign to ban public lotteries along with the demand to ban alcohol and abolish slavery. Congress in fact upheld a law in 1892 to put a complete halt to all lotteries in the US by 1900. In 1905, The U.S. Supreme court prohibited all gambling and they were prohibited in most states by constitutional provisions for the next 60 years. No state was directly involved in the operation of a gambling enterprise.
The Re-emergence of Lottery in America
In 1930 Irish Sweepstakes were launched and met with great success in the American and Canadian markets because of the abolition of lotteries in these countries.
It wasn't until 1964 that lotteries began to re-emerge in the United States. The introduction of a state lottery in New Hampshire in 1964 established the model for modern public lotteries in the United States. 1973 was a landmark year for the lottery, as technological innovation enabled the introduction of the first secure instant lottery ticket. Gradually lottery became more accessible and increasingly popular. In 1989 South Dakota became the first American state to license and regulate video lottery games. By 1999, there were more than 100 foreign lotteries operating in the United States.
Today thanks to online lottery, the best lottery games can be played from the comfort of one's home.

Q: ifelse function instead of for loop I have the original R code as below.
 Bernoulli <- rbinom(1000, 1, 0.5)
 mix.sample <- rep(0, 1000)  #reserve storage
 for (i in 1:1000) { #for each Bernoulli realization
   if (Bernoulli[i] == 1){ #sample corresponding normal component
     mix.sample[i] <- rnorm(1, mean=10, sd=1)
   }
   else {
     mix.sample[i] <- rnorm(1, mean=0, sd=1)
   }
 }
 plot(density(mix.sample))

And I tried the following code instead of the for loop, but there appears a problem with the results been produced, could anyone help me out?
 Bernorm <- ifelse(Bernoulli == 1, rnorm(1, mean=10, sd=1), rnorm(1, mean=0, sd=1))

A: Instead of the for loop you could do
set.seed(42)
sim.fun <- function(x) {
  if (x == 1) {
    rnorm(1, 10, 1)
  } else {
    rnorm(1, 0, 1)
  }
}

P <- sapply(Bernoulli, sim.fun)
plot(density(P))

Or, if you rely on ifelse() use it with sapply():
P <- sapply(Bernoulli, function(x) ifelse(x == 1, rnorm(1, 10, 1), rnorm(1, 0, 1)))

The function is faster though.
microbenchmark() yields:
Unit: milliseconds
    expr      min       lq     mean   median       uq      max neval cld
for-loop 8.015976 8.232972 8.712522 8.316147 8.475865 14.65216   100   c
 sim.fun 3.622982 3.672990 4.493131 3.700290 3.752339 54.14139   100 a
  sapply 5.932761 6.016319 6.479058 6.070026 6.115951 12.38065   100  b

A: Personally, I'd use the fact that you can convert the Binomial to logical right away.
  Bernoulli <- as.logical(rbinom(1e3, 1, 0.5))
  samp <- numeric(1e3)
  n <- sum(Bernoulli)
  samp[Bernoulli] <- rnorm(n, 10, 1)
  samp[!Bernoulli] <- rnorm(1e3 - n)
  samp

A: Just as you create the entire test vector at once (rbinom), you could create all values of both rnorm vectors once. Put everything in a matrix, use the value of the test vector to select either of the two value columns.
set.seed(1)
n <- 8
m <- cbind(test = rbinom(n, 1, 0.5),
           norm0 = rnorm(n, mean = 0, sd = 1),
           norm10 = rnorm(n, mean = 10, sd = 1))

m <- cbind(m, res = m[cbind(1:nrow(m), (m[ , "test"] == 1) + 2)])
#     test      norm0    norm10        res
# [1,]   0  0.3295078  9.378759  0.3295078
# [2,]   0 -0.8204684  7.785300 -0.8204684
# [3,]   1  0.4874291 11.124931 11.1249309
# [4,]   1  0.7383247  9.955066  9.9550664
# [5,]   0  0.5757814  9.983810  0.5757814
# [6,]   1 -0.3053884 10.943836 10.9438362
# [7,]   1  1.5117812 10.821221 10.8212212
# [8,]   1  0.3898432 10.593901 10.5939013
# [10,]  0  1.1249309 10.619826  1.1249309

A: Another option is to put the values in a dataframe, then to add a variable using ifelse like you tried at the beginning. Here I also just plot up the data, but you could assign it back to store the values.
library(tidyverse)

set.seed(81)
df <- data_frame(Bernoulli = rbinom(1000, 1, 0.5))

df %>%
  mutate(mix.sample = if_else(Bernoulli == 1,
                              rnorm(1, mean=10, sd=1),
                              rnorm(1, mean=0, sd=1))) %>%
  ggplot(aes(mix.sample))+
  geom_density()+
  scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-5, 15))

Most people have heard eating 12,000 calories and trying to follow his workout routine is not possible for the average man. But that doesn't mean that you can't use swimming for weight loss.
In fact, you may be surprised to learn that it takes more effort to swim 2 miles than it does to run it. The reason is simple — swimming is a form of resistance training. The next time you're watching your kids playing in the pool, join them!
The recommendation for exercise is 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, and whether you swim for this time or just some of this time, there is no doubt that swimming for weight loss is an effective means of staying active.
To use swimming for weight loss, try to find 30 minutes, every other day. The perfect accompaniment to your swimming schedule is to alternate it with the 24-minute workout.
Should you need any extra inspiration, then join the FF30X today to discover eating tips and other exercise routines. With FF30X you'll also get the support of other men who are trying (and succeeding) in losing weight. If they can do it, so can you!
I love swimming and its part of my weekly routine. However, even I didn't realize just how beneficial it was until I looked into it further. You will be as surprised as I was!
Swimming works every muscle in your body. It takes every muscle to keep you moving through the water while breathing properly. Working these muscles, with the resistance of the water, you will tone your muscles, build your strength, and even improve endurance. You'll also be increasing your heart rate, without the risk of injury that is associated with impact exercises like running.
You need to take deep breaths and really get your heart pumping while swimming. This increases your lung capacity and helps your heart to beat stronger and more effectively.
Studies also show that swimming can reduce your risk of an early death! It is believed that this is connected to the reduction of lipids in the bloodstream, but further research is needed to determine the exact reasons. It will certainly make you feel good.
As you age, you can lose muscle and bone mass, which is linked to testosterone loss and a lack of exercise. While you're looking to rebuild muscle and bone strength you can still enjoy swimming; it is a non-impact exercise which means the risk of injury is dramatically reduced.
It can even help you to recover from injuries.
It probably won't come as a surprise to you, but swimming is an effective way to burn calories. In fact, an hour swimming will burn nearly as many calories as an hour running, without the injury risk. The exact number of calories you'll burn will depend on your current weight and the speed you swim at. The average man will burn approximately 446 calories in an hour.
Most exercise helps you to sleep better simply because you have worked your muscles harder and they need time to recover. Men who have started swimming and previously been poor sleepers have reported a dramatic change in their ability to sleep. This offers an array of other benefits including the opportunity for your body to rebalance its hormones and reduce your appetite hormone while increasing the hormone that makes you feel full.
Any exercises cause the release of endorphins in your body, that's what makes you feel so good when you finish. Swimming for weight loss will release these endorphins and improve your mood/outlook on life.
When you're swimming, you are unlikely to be thinking about anything else. This will give your body the chance to de-stress and switch off from the hectic pace of the modern world. Stress is very dangerous for your health, so swimming for weight loss is going to improve your health in more ways than one!
It can be difficult to fit exercise into your schedule when you have work, a house to maintain and children that want to play. However, swimming is the perfect activity to do as a family and beneficial for everyone. You'll be teaching your child to be active from a young age. That's an amazing gift to give them for life.
You should be able to join your local pool for a reasonable rate with a family pass making swimming an enjoyable and affordable way to lose weight.
It may not help with weight loss, but the ability to swim could save your life or help you to save someone else's. Swimming is a skill that everyone should develop; it really can make a life-changing difference.
When you start swimming, you'll quickly want to start setting yourself small goals, such as completing two lengths of an Olympic size pool. This is natural and a great way to boost your fitness and weight loss achievements.
However, it will also adjust your mindset outside of the pool. Without realizing it, you'll be setting yourself small goals and achieving them in every area of your life.
A surprising benefit of swimming is increased brain power! Studies have shown that swimming, along with many other aerobic exercises, actually increases the size of your hippocampus. This is the part of the brain that deals with learning and memory!
It can also help to reduce any inflammation in your body and insulin resistance, allowing your body to focus on growing new brain cells! I said there were surprising benefits!
We've already noted that the cost of membership to a swimming pool is generally not prohibitive. However, it is also worth noting that you need no special equipment to swim, just a pair of trunks and perhaps some goggles.
It doesn't matter what age you are you can start swimming for virtually no cost!

Q: FileUpload upload codebehind. How can i upload with FileUpload codebehind only? My controls are made codebehind because i have Dropdown_SelectedIndexChanged and need to generate various numbers of controls. I can list the controls fine and attach file and text to txtbox with:
        private void SetChildrenCountControls(int total)
        {
          for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)
          {
            var tbBirthDate = new TextBox();
            tbBirthDate.ID = "tbBirthDate_" + (i + 1);
            tbBirthDate.CssClass = "tbSister_input";
            tbBirthDate.EnableViewState = true;

            FileUpload upload = new FileUpload();
            upload.ID = "imgUpload_" + (i + 1);
            upload.CssClass = "tbSister_upload";
            upload.EnableViewState = true;

            ChildrenCountTextPanel.Controls.Add(tbBirthDate);
            ChildrenCountTextPanel.Controls.Add(upload);
          }
       }

And can get the enterede text in the txtbox with:
         protected void lbFamilySave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var countSisters = ChildrenCountTextPanel.Controls.OfType<TextBox>();
        string sisterBirth = string.Empty;
        foreach (var sister in countSisters)
        {
            if (sister.ID.Contains("tbBirthDate_"))
                sisterBirth = sister.Text;
        }
    }

How can i get the file from the FileUpload controls? Cant seem to do above with FileUpload.

A: In the click event below you are getting TextBoxes and not FileUpload Control
btn_protected void lbFamilySave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        var countSisters = ChildrenCountTextPanel.Controls.OfType<TextBox>();

A file upload control is of this type  System.Web.UI.WebControls.FileUpload
So please get the FileUpload control then do the following:
if (myFileUpload.HasFile)
{
  string savePath = @"C:\Temp\" + myFileUpload.FileName;

  myFileUpload.SaveAs(savePath);
}

A: Got it working with this, thought i had tryed that. Apparently not good enough :)
 var countUploads = ChildrenCountTextPanel.Controls.OfType<FileUpload>();

        FileUpload FileUl = new FileUpload();
        foreach (var ul in countUploads)
        {
            if(ul.ID.Contains("imgUpload_"))
            {
                FileUl = ul;
            }
        }
if (FileUl.HasFile)
{
 ConvertAndSave(FileUl)
 }


The strong spicy pungent aromatic sensation of Thai green curry comes from the coriander plant-a combined flavor release from its 5000 BC and found in Egyptian tombs seed, leaf and its root. Mentioned in Sanskrit has been a popular ingredient with many global cultures for seasoning and for healing. It is grown in Southeast Asia, India, Morocco, Romania, Mexico, the and the U.S. Coriander seed is sold as whole, cracked or ground. The leaf comes mainly in two forms – coriander leaf, also called cilantro, which is a flat leaf like parsley; and thorny leaf coriander, also called culantro, recao, ngo or Japanese saw leaf, which is sold as fresh or dried, the latter as whole or crushed; and its root and stem as whole, chopped or minced. Each of them has a different flavor profile-the seed has a nutty spicy flavor with cedar and floral tones; cilantro has a refreshing piney flavor with anise-like lemony tones, while the thorny leaf has stronger notes, and the root has intense pungent notes. The seeds are popular with Indian curries and Middle Eastern and North African seasonings such as zhug, baharat and berbere for dips, couscous, lamb roasts and stews. Cilantro adds color and flavor to Mexican salsas, beans and tacos, Indian chutneys and bhel puris, Malaysian kurmas, Moroccan tagines or Egyptian bissara. Cilantro is popular in Latin American.

ANRE WILL WITHDRAW THE ENERGY PRODUCTION LICENSES FOR 3,800 MW OF CAPACITY THIS YEAR / ENERGYNOMICS.RO
The National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) and the Ministry of Energy have started an analysis to identify the power plants that are no longer functional and will lose their license, in order not to appear in the official statistics regarding the installed energy capacity of the country, ANRE President Dumitru Chiriţă said on Thursday, at a conference organized by Focus Energetic. "Romania has theoretically a very large installed capacity, of 24,000 MW, of which is actually available somewhere around 16,000. The other 8,000 MW are, to a large extent, megawatts that no longer exist physically or have not been available for a long time", said the head of ANRE, according to Agerpres. He said that 3,800 MW of capacity has already been identified that will lose its license this year. "Together with the Ministry of Energy we managed to make a first assessment of these capacities, of the 8,000 MW. There are over 3,800 identified by the end of the year we will take the decision on suspending and lifting licenses, so that Romania will not appear on the site The European Commission with information that is not real. These data must be close to reality, because they generate availability for investors to achieve energy capacities, so necessary for Romania and for the region," said Chiriţă.

K-EXCLUSIVE: Cross Gene Represents Korea At 'Skechers Sundown Festival 2014'
A total of 16 artistes across 11 Asian countries took center stage at the Skechers Sundown Festival on 22 Nov 2014 at the Marina Promenade in Singapore. Representing Korea at this Asia's biggest music festival performing to fervent music fanatics was CROSS GENE!
Debuted in 2012 with members hailing from Korea, Japan and China, this is CROSS GENE's maiden stage in Singapore. The sextet boy band was preceded by groups like Brown Eyed Girls, Teen Top, AOA and BTOB in the past runs of the iconic festival that aims to unite talents and fans onto one singular platform to celebrate the diverse Asian cultures.
Before the big night out with the stars, a press conference was held on 21 Nov 2014 at the Park Royal Hotel. Many artistes came donned in Sketchers Sundown Festival T-shirt, but of course, each brought their own style.
Members Takuya, Shin, Casper, Sangmin, Yongseok and Seyoung, immediately brightened up the session with an invigorating greeting "Hello! We are CROSS GENE from Korea!"
Speaking about the latest comeback, Leader Takuya shared "We are currently busy in Korea with our comeback 'I'm Not a Boy, Not Yet a Man'. We heard that we have an increasing number of fans in China, Korea and Singapore, and we are very delighted and happy and hope to meet all of you."
On whether the multinational CROSS GENE will consider recording songs in other languages in addition to Korean and Japanese, Takuya said that while there are no current plans, they do hope to record songs in Chinese to be closer with their fans in China, Singapore and other Chinese-speaking regions. Adding on, the boys quipped "We love Singapore, please invite us here often!"
When asked if any Korean artistes had inspired the group, Japanese Takuya recounted how he used to listen to BIGBANG sunbaenim's music when he was back in Japan. Chinese member Casper also shared that he was invigorated by K-Pop while back in his hometown, which is why he was inspired to go into the industry.
Rounding off, Shin exclaimed, "We are honoured to represent Korea at a great concert like the Sundown Festival, and with so many amazing artistes from Asia. We will put in a lot of effort and please look forward to our performance!"
The arrival of the gorgeous ladies such as TVB actress and singer Kate Tsui from Hong Kong, popular host and DJ Regina Lin from China, Indian songstress Kanika Kapoor, and Singapore's very own songbird Olivia Ong also heated up the atmosphere.
Known for her soulful vocals, Olivia Ong revealed that she is now back and will be based in Singapore. Having worked abroad for the past ten years, the talented solo artiste hoped to spend more time with her family and looks to begin on a new album.
On the contrary, Kate Tsui seemed rather at home, "This is my, I don't know many times here (laughs). Singapore holds a lot of good moments for me, I was just here a while back for an awards ceremony, I often visits my friends and I love all the food. I have to admit I had midnight snacks last night, some pretty good Laksa!"
Other artistes present include veteran Taiwanese singer Chang Chen-Yue, Thai rock band Big Ass, Filipino band PUPIL, Japanese boy group WEAVER, Singapore hip hop artiste Shigga Shay and six-member Indonesian girl group S.O.S. that consists of finalists from Galaxy Superstar talent show who had trained in Korea for a short period of time. Celebrated Malaysian singer Shila Amzah joined the line-up at the concert.
Onward to the epic night of the music extravaganza, CROSS GENE kick-started their performance with their latest single 'I'm Not A Boy, Not Yet A Man' followed by warm greetings and introduction. Their second song was 'Crazy' with Casper calling out to fans hoping to make the crowd go crazy that night. Judging from the roars of cheering, they definitely did! Not missing a beat, 'naughty' Shin went on to kiss fellow member Yongseok and that really got fans screaming their lungs out.
The boys continued hyping up their performance with the 'On the Floor', and it seemed that Casper could not take the heat and eventually took off his blazer to continue singing and dancing to the beats of 'Shooting Stars'. CROSS GENE concluded their short but spectacular set with 'Dirty Pop'.
True to its name, the single platform of Sundown Festival really brought the fine artistes from all around together. During the encore performance, there were numerous interactions between the two boy groups, WEAVER and CROSS GENE, even though only four members Shin, Seyoung, Casper and Sangmin were back on stage. Following the performance, Casper also expressed interest on Instagram to collaborate with popular Malaysian singer Shila Amzah while Shin gave the singer a copy of their autographed album. Who knows, fan might be able to look forward to CROSS GENE's first cross-border collaboration!
Let's anticipate CROSS GENE's upcoming happenings and having them back in Singapore like they hoped. Officially KMUSIC also had an interview with the boys. Stay tuned for updates!
Officially KMUSIC would like to thank Skechers, Red Spade Entertainment and Press Kit Pte Ltd for the great invitation.

All aboard the Samsung Galaxy S8 train!
After years of trying and failing to get anyone to care about Windows Phone and then Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft's finally making a smart move in mobile: It's partnering with Samsung for a "Microsoft Edition" of the new Galaxy S8.
What makes the Galaxy S8 and S8+ Microsoft Edition, uh, Microsoft-y? For starters, the phones will only be sold at Microsoft Stores in the U.S. starting on April 21. They'll still cost the same as the regular versions, though: $749.99 (S8) and $849.99 (S8+).
Aside from that, the only new additions to the Galaxy S8 appears to be the Microsoft apps that are installed after connecting the phones to a Wi-Fi network for the first time.
Apps that'll be installed include "Office, OneDrive, Cortana, Outlook and more" according to ZDNet.
That's all fine and dandy, but you're probably thinking right now, can't you just buy the regular version of the S8's and install the Microsoft apps yourself?
Yes, you 100 percent can do that, but how many people will? One of the first things most people who buy new Galaxy phones do is replace the default Samsung apps with Google's. How many people swap Samsung's apps for Microsoft's? I'd wager, not too many.
...boom, you've got a desktop PC-like experience.
The Microsoft Edition of the S8 is less about having any exclusive features, and more about putting Microsoft's suite of powerful productivity services in front of more eyeballs on mobile — something it just doesn't have considering what a steaming failure Windows 10 Mobile is.
Bundling its apps and having them front and center on the Galaxy S8 — a phone that'll no doubt sell very well — is also another chance for Microsoft to keep the phone-transforms-into-a-desktop dream alive.
With a Microsoft Edition, sold at Microsoft retail stores, Samsung and Microsoft can easily showcase the benefits of getting a desktop-like experience with the Samsung DeX dock.
Microsoft Continuum was a cool idea and it could have really morphed into something serious, if not for the fact that it was stuck on a virtually non-existent platform. The Galaxy S8 is Microsoft's best shot at realizing the promise of Continuum. Samsung will get the credit and Android is the interface (not Windows 10), but at least Microsoft's apps will be there leading the charge.


The British Florist Association was formed in 1948 and started life as the British Flower Industry Association. Since its formation the association has grown from strength to strength.
The first recorded industry trade body for the British cut flower industry was established back in 1917. Called the British Flower Marketing Association, it was founded by a group of growers, florists and wholesalers at New Covent Garden Flower Market, where the board bearing the names of the association's presidents is still proudly displayed today. At the top of the list is Market trader and founding BFMA President, Mr George Monro VMH .
What we now know as The British Florist Association is one of two organisations that succeeded the British Flower Marketing Association. The BFA was founded in 1948 when a group of florists formed it to lobby against government plans to introduce a tax on funeral flowers.
Today's BFA ran in parallel with its sister body, the British Flower Industry Association (for growers and wholesalers) before taking it over in 1977. Such was the close relationship between the two organisations, that the last BFIA President, Mr Philip Colman, bequeathed a substantial sum to the BFA to ensure its continued work for the floristry industry.
In 1956, the BFA was one of the founder members of Florint (originally FEUPF), which has brought together the national florist associations of more than 20 European countries.
In 2010, the British Florist Association acquired the Society of Floristry. Today, the British Florist Association is the only trade body representing the UK's 7000 independent florist businesses. The BFA organises the UK's ONLY florist industry conference and the UK's ONLY trade show for florists, as well as nationwide networking and education activities and high-profile floristry competitions.
1945 – British Flower Industry Association is founded and the BFMA closes.

Participants: Emma Hammarén, Anjana Kothamachu, Ksenia Pukhalskaya, Mamta Sagar, Ashok Vish. Text by Emma Hammarén, and translations by Ksenia Pukhalskaya (Spanish), and Mamta Sagar (Kannada).
Translation is a function that moves an object a certain distance without changing it in any other way.
The object is not rotated, reflected or resized.
The object is not damaged, twisted, turned or put into question.
Every point of the object must be moved in the same direction and for the same distance (B: reason).
We know this because the arrow tells us the direction in which the object was moved.
The object is unaltered. It does not change colour, shape or flavour. It is not lost or broken.
The object is unaltered. It does not trip over, get lost or broken, it does not stumble.
Kanon. A begins, B starts from the beginning after A reads slides, C starts after B reads slides.
A translation is a transformation of the plane that slides every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.
A translation is a transformation of the plane that slides.
A translation is a transformation that slides a figure in a different direction, slides a figure without changing it.
Translation is the most basic transformation. Each translation follows a rule.
Translation moves or slides a shape a fixed distance.
Translations move every point within the shape the same distance and preserve the geometrical properties of the original shape.
Translations differ from reflections and rotations.
In a reflection or rotation, the points of the shape are moved varying distances based upon the distance the original points were from a given line or point outside the shape.
Translations preserve the orientation of the angles to one another.
For this reason, a translation is considered a direct isometry or a type of transformation that preserves the length of all sides and the placement of the angles in relation to one another.
When performing a translation, you may be given a figure drawn on a coordinate plane. Then you will be asked to translate the figure. You will be given a distance and direction for the transformation. You will be given a distance and a direction. Then you will begin to slide.
When working with translation problems, the information may be presented in different ways. This time, you will not be asked to draw the translation, but instead to describe it in mathematical notation.
Later on, anyone who sees this notation can draw the image by looking at the pre-image.
You will not have to have drawn it for them.
When they do draw the image, it will look like this.


Why is Homosexuality Prohibited in Islam?
Why does Islam prohibit homosexuality?
Such a question is a norm in today's modern world. I mean, in a world that prides itself for its struggle to achieve equality and social justice, shouldn't a man loving a woman be the same as a man loving a man? Shouldn't all love be considered the same? Why does Islam see a difference? Why is homosexuality prohibited in Islam?
Well, the answer is in fact quite simple and it all comes down to the very definition of Islam in and of itself – and that is submission. Islam by its very essence means to submit to whatever Allah ordains for humanity. No ifs, no buts, no why's?, no how come, just complete utter submission and servitude to God – and that's what makes you a Muslim.
You see, even if we don't understand the wisdom or benefits behind such rulings, we submit, simply because that's what Allah ordained. Now this, of course, doesn't prevent us from searching for the wisdom behind such rulings, and in this case, there are many, yet what I am saying is that the fundamental underlying principle of why we follow this ruling, is out of submission to Allah's law.
And by no means is this submission degrading or shameful by any standard. In fact to the contrary, one should feel confident knowing that His affairs and practices are in accordance with the Creator. After all, who is more suitable to regulate the affairs of humanity & society than the One who created it?
So irrespective of social norms, trends or cultural practices, Islamic principles and prohibitions especially those that are clearly mentioned in the Quran and unanimously agreed upon are final – whether it's homosexuality, interest, gambling, intoxicants, or adultery. Even if the whole world was to disagree and argue that it was for the betterment of society, that it was for equality, as Muslims our obedience and reliance shall remain in Allah alone.
The scholars have also illustrated many worldly consequences of homosexual acts to reinforce its prohibition, including the breakup of the family unit, the spread of disease and going against the natural laws Allah has ordained for His creation.
Nevertheless, even if the whole world was to disagree with this prohibition and argue that such an act was for the betterment of society, that it was for equality, as Muslims our obedience and reliance shall remain in Allah alone.
So in summary, we can argue and debate the benefits and harms of such an action for years on end, but the fact of the matter remains that we oppose such behavior (prohibit homosexuality) for the very fact that our Lord Allah opposed it.
And this is the essence of what it means to be a Muslim.

'Tis the season to be jolly! It's a merry month indeed because I have four spot illustrations for the Christmas issue of Total Girl Philippines. These are so far my favorite illustrations that I've done for them.
For the "Yaya's Little Helper" article, the art director wanted a watercolor-painted background, so I played around with different textures and ended up with just a hint of blue for the whole thing, and big splashes of color behind each spot illustration. I originally made three illustrations for the article. Unfortunately, there's only room for two, but I'm still posting the third one here.
Here's another illustration I made, this time for the "'Tis the Season to Get Smarter" article.
Then, the monthly TG to the Rescue section.
I had to revise the TG to the Rescue illustration to make room for a wider space, so I moved a couple of items here and there around the room. I also had to simplify the background and add a fly coming out of the girl's wallet. (She's too broke, there's nothing to squeeze out of it. In Filipino, nilalangaw na yung wallet). For the TG to the rescue, and most of the articles, the art director usually gives me instructions on the overall look of the scene.
I'm no tween anymore, but I surely enjoyed reading the magazine, flipping each colorful page eagerly. It's not only true for this particular issue, but for all the others too. Rest assured, I'm not biased. Well, maybe just a bit, but seriously it's still fun to read even though you might be too old for the magazine's target audience.
