The Dutch offshore has been thoroughly explored since the '60s. Though the oil and gas industry classifies the area as mature, new discoveries are still being made in old and new plays. One of these is the Chalk play, which features only two successful offshore discoveries in the Netherlands: F2-Hanze and F17-FC.
In 2014, EBN performed a regional study on the Chalk play in the northern Dutch Offshore, mainly based on a recently acquired 3D-seismic cube, that spans a large area of the D-, E- and F-quadrants. The study indicated that the play is underexplored in the Netherlands and hydrocarbon potential is still present.
Another new potential are the West Netherlands Basin (WNB) Upper Jurassic and Triassic plays. The Q16-Maas, Noorderdam, Maasgeul Triassic structures and the Q13-FB, Wassenaar-Zee Upper Jurassic structures are examples of relatively new and undeveloped fields.
Investing in new 3D data or its studies is generally quite expensive. AmsterdamPG presents an alternative for involved parties. The WNB is effectively covered by 3D seismic data, but a large part of it is relatively old. New reprocessing algorithms greatly improve the quality of these data.

Q: Checking the value of a multiselect I am using a multiselect which is created in such fashion
var color = $('<select />', {
                              'id'     : 'color_' + j,
                              'name'   : 'color_'+ j+'[]',
                              'multiple': true,
                              'style' : 'float: left; width: 120px; position: relative'
                            }).attr('data-rel', 'chosen');

Now within a javascript when i am alerting the value of the multiselect with id = color_1
i am getting null
I mean for the script
for(i = 1; i<=ci; i++)
 {
    alert($('#color_'+i).val());
    if($('#color_'+i).val() == 'null' || $('#color_'+i).val() == '')
    {
       alert("Select Color For Item :"+ (i));
       flag = 1;
    }
 }

null is getting alert if i dont select anything, but still, its not alerting the alert("Select Color For Item :"+ (i));
if alert($('#color_'+i).val()); is causing null to be alerted, then it must enter into the if condition, but it seems somehow the if is not getting satisfied.
Can anybody help me in this?
Thanks.

A: I think the problem is you are comparing against a string 'null' where as you should be checking it against the null value
var val;
for (var i = 1; i <= ci; i++) {
    val = $('#color_' + i).val()
    alert(val);
    if (val == null || val == '') {
        alert("Select Color For Item :" + (i));
        flag = 1;
    }
}

Q: Efficient pairwise comparisons - rows of Numpy 2D array I would like to compare each row of a Numpy 2D array with all other rows and get an output of a binary matrix, that indicates the non-matching features of each pair of rows.
Perhaps, for an input:
 index col1 col2 col3 col4
   0    2    1    3    3
   1    2    3    3    4
   2    4    1    3    2

I would like to get the following output:
 index col1 col2 col3 col4  i  j
   0    0    1    0    1    0  1
   1    1    0    0    1    0  2
   2    1    1    0    1    1  2

As 'i' and 'j' hold the original indexes of the compared rows
What is the most efficient way to implement this?
My current implementation takes too long due to a "for" loop:
df = pd.DataFrame([[2,1,3,3],[2,3,3,4],[4,1,3,2]],columns=['A','B','C','D']) # example of a dataset
r = df.values
rows, cols = r.shape
additional_cols = ['i', 'j'] # original df indexes
allArrays = np.empty((0, cols + len(additional_cols)))

for i in range(0, rows):
        myArray = np.not_equal(r[i, :], r[i+1:, :]).astype(np.float32)
        myArray_with_idx = np.c_[myArray, np.repeat(i, rows-1-i), np.arange(i+1, rows)] # save original df indexes
        allArrays = np.concatenate((allArrays, myArray_with_idx), axis=0)

A: Approach #1 : Here's one with np.triu_indices -
a = df.values
R,C = np.triu_indices(len(a),1)
out = np.concatenate((a[R] != a[C],R[:,None],C[:,None]),axis=1)

Approach #2 : We can also make use of slicing and iteratively fill-in -
a = df.values
n = a.shape[0]
N = n*(n-1)//2
idx = np.concatenate(( [0], np.arange(n-1,0,-1).cumsum() ))
start, stop = idx[:-1], idx[1:]
out = np.empty((N,a.shape[1]+2),dtype=a.dtype)
for j,i in enumerate(range(n-1)):
    s0,s1 = start[j],stop[j]
    out[s0:s1,:-2] = a[i,None] != a[i+1:]
    out[s0:s1,-2] = j
    out[s0:s1,-1] = np.arange(j+1,n)

out would be your allArrays.


The haste with which Leeds United plumped for Paul Heckingbottom as head coach gave an artificial impression of Andrea Radrizzani's confidence in him.
Radrizzani had the final say on his 18-month contract but Leeds were a long way down the road to appointing Heckingbottom by the time their chairman arrived in England and met him face-to-face.
An announcement came that same morning.
Their personal relationship was distant to begin with and never really evolved. The men spent little time in each other's company and at the last round of meetings involving Heckingbottom, prior to his family holiday in Greece and his sacking this morning, Radrizzani was absent.
He will fly back from Greece tomorrow with the consolation of a pay-off but for him and the club, this resembles a pointless experiment. Heckingbottom outlasted Uwe Rosler by four games and David Hockaday and Darko Milanic by eight. Leeds and Radrizzani tired of him at much the same speed as new toys grew old under Massimo Cellino, the Italian with the widest reputation for dispatching head coaches. Owners come and go but the club's habits die hard.
Leeds will try not to speak of promotion this summer, preferring to keep their powder dry, but the likelihood of promotion next season was the crux of Heckingbottom's dismissal: that three months in the post made Radrizzani think that his second year as owner would be safer in someone else's hands.
Leeds were drawn to Heckingbottom by his grounding in the Championship and his reputation as a direct, demanding coach but scared off by what they saw in the flesh when his players took to the pitch.
A 25 per cent win-rate after 16 matches worried the club's board. As consequential for Heckingbottom, despite the mental, technical and disciplinary deficiencies of the squad he took on from Thomas Christiansen, was the absence of any tangible progression in the style or conviction of the club's football. Their defensive record got worse. Their enthusiasm hardly piqued. Games which mattered were lost with a whimper.
There was a contradiction between talk of the high esteem in which United's players held Heckingbottom and the way in which they played for him. It was true, nonetheless, that he met the club's desire to see their better Under-23s blooded. And it was equally hard to avoid the thought that, minus a transfer window or any time to bed in, he was dealt a dismal hand.
Heckingbottom's ideas for changing that in this transfer window were relatively simple. Leeds were given a list of targets by him, featuring loan signings, free transfers and low-cost permanent deals; in all, an inexpensive plan.
Among the names was Andy Yiadom, the defender who Heckingbottom coached at Barnsley and who he wanted to bring to Leeds. United were not convinced that a full-back like Yiadom was needed so in the week of Heckingbottom's final meetings at Elland Road, Yiadom went to Reading.
Oli McBurnie, Swansea City's Leeds-born striker and another player who worked under Heckingbottom at Oakwell, was willing to follow him to Leeds but no effort was applied to that potential deal before Heckingbottom began his holiday in Greece.
In a round of unproductive discussions two weeks ago, involving director of football Victor Orta and managing director Angus Kinnear, it was not made clear to Heckingbottom that he was about to be sacked but the gaps in their ideas made him realistic about his fate. Leeds were in two minds and Heckingbottom knew it. Orta took a flight to Rhodes yesterday to speak with Heckingbottom for the last time before the decision to replace him was made.
A decent, down-to-earth character, it is unfortunate for Heckingbottom that his demise will be largely popular.
There was some bafflement amongst United's support about the rush to employ a coach who had Barnsley hovering above the relegation positions, despite the complications and politics faced by him at Oakwell. Leeds had a quick look at Marco Silva in February, discovering quickly that Silva - with Everton patiently waiting for him - had no interest in joining them, but they were onto Heckingbottom within 24 hours of sacking Christiansen.
The territory in question was the Championship but as the division's top six went down the track, Leeds and Heckingbottom sloped quietly into an irrelevant siding. In the stands at Elland Road, the appetite for another change was rife. Heckingbottom failed to carry the public with him and had no way of countering the perception that he and Leeds were a bad fit.
Like others before him, 14 games is too short a tenure to be sure and the high opinion of him within the game suggests he will fare better elsewhere. But at Leeds, with this pressure and after so many years spent waiting for deliverance, the stones around his ankles dragged him down.
Though not before Leeds' tour of Myanmar - a contentious trip for which the amount of organising frustrated Heckingbottom - was hung around his neck.
Radrizzani, with his fourth head coach in the offing, might be carrying the same weight and given the failure to publicly challenge two months of speculation about Heckingbottom's future, retaining the 40-year-old would have been no ringing endorsement anyway.
Heckingbottom's dismissal rounds off a torrid six-month spell for Radrizzani, comprising of a litany of feeble on-field performances, PR disasters and misjudged decisions, countered only by last week's investment by the San Francisco 49ers.
Having apologised for one mistake in appointing Christiansen, he is now holding his hands up to another, without knowing for certain what Heckingbottom would have done next season. The Italian is trusting the gut which serves him well when it comes to purchasing TV rights but has yet to adjust to the machinations of professional football.
Leeds have options in mind and two sources have told the YEP that Marcelo Bielsa, a renowned, eccentric and unpredictable coach with Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Lille and Argentina on a CV, is a candidate. Reports in Spain last night claimed formal contact had been made.
Bielsa's profile is in a league far above Christiansen's but a choice like that would be a swing in the Dane's direction, away from the domestic attributes which sent Leeds sprinting to Heckingbottom's door. Radrizzani is throwing darts in the hope of landing somewhere near the bullseye. This one needs to stick.

Jobandtalent raises $500M Series E to keep scaling its 'workforce as a service' marketplace
BruceDayne 3:18 AM Khareem Sudlow, Natasha Lomas, Tech,
Spain's Jobandtalent, a "workforce marketplace"-cum-digital temping agency which uses AI to match workers to casual labor gigs in sectors like warehousing, ecommerce and logistics, has closed a $500 million Series E round of funding led by Kinnevik and with what it bills as a "significant" follow on by SoftBank VisionFund 2.
Existing investors including Atomico, DN, Infravia, Kibo and Quadrille also participated in the round — which the startup said values its business at $2.35BN (post-money).
Alongside the equity raise, the 2009-founded startup has secured another chunk of debt financing ($75M) from Blackrock.
Jobandtalent says the latest funds will be used to accelerate its expansion in key markets, including the US — its most recent focus. Earlier this year (March), it announced a $120M Series D (as well as $100M in debt financing) which it said it would use to enter the US.

Flush with Series E cash, it plans to "significantly" increase the size of its tech and sales team over the next two years, and also says it will add "key" exec roles — as it seeks to scale in the US and deepen its business in Europe.
Currently it offers a temporary labor service in nine markets globally: Spain, the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Portugal, Mexico, Colombia and the US — matching workers looking for temp roles with employers in need of casual labor in (with a focus on sectors like manufacturing and logistics).
"Jobandtalent is by far the largest job platform in Europe. We are just starting to grow in the US, and this round of funding will help us accelerate those plans and become market leaders there as well," the startup told us.
Its gig-finding pitch also comes with a promise of "stability" for the temps on its books — via an AI-aided pipeline of "consistent work"; and benefits for temps that it says are more akin to being employed (and can include pensions, sick and holiday pay, health insurance, and training courses).
Temp workers apply for and manage roles, submit paperwork, sign contracts, and get paid via the Jobandtalent app — so it's streamlining and taking over a range of back office functions for employers dealing with temps (who it directly employs) in addition to helping simplify the process of finding work (and, indeed, being paid for it) for those who rely on seasonal and/or temp gigs to earn a living.
Its UK website includes fairly visible links to a whistleblowing policy and a statement on modern slavery — as well as a link to (multi-lingual) instructions on reporting hidden labor exploitation.
The startup touts an average NPS score for workers on its platform of 56 vs an industry average that it says stands at just 18.
In the first nine months of 2021, Jobandtalent says its platform was used to match more than 100,000 workers to casual roles. (That's up on since earlier this year, when it said more than 80,000 workers had used its marketplace to find temporary roles at that point.)
It also says more than 1,300 companies are now signed up to source workers via its platform, including DHL, FedEx, XPO, Ceva Logistics, eBay, IKEA, Kuehne & Nagel, JD Sports, Ocado, Sainsbury's, Argos and GLS — up from 850+ companies back in March.
Its business growth rate is 130% annually, with Jobandtalent adding that it's been EBITDA positive since the second half of 2020. It also told us its annual revenue run rate is now more than €1BN.
"Even with the current pressure in the labour market, we are able to find and match workers with roles at a much higher success rate than other," suggested Juan Urdiales, co-founder and CEO, in a statement. "We are excited to accelerate the expansion of our team and grow our presence in both new and existing markets — helping more workers find the jobs they want, and helping businesses fill the roles they need."
Also commenting on the funding in a statement, Natalie Tydeman, senior investment director at Kinnevik, added: "Jobandtalent's workforce-as-a-service platform is disrupting the modern labour market and placing people back at the centre of employment. By offering a personalised service driven by data and proprietary technology, Jobandtalent is simplifying the experience of finding work for thousands of people and transforming it for the better. We're proud to be working with Juan and the team to accelerate the growth of the business."

It seems to me that the bigger machine you use, the easier it is to stuff something up, badly. Not that I stuffed anything up too badly, but it's real easy to. We dug through the original sewer line (just nicking it) when we were excavating for the cellar. I assumed that the toilet line would run to the sewer line along the laneway, the closest connection point, but I was wrong. I contacted the water authority and got a copy of the original sewer plan. I really should have done that before we began digging.
Original Sewer Plan, installed in June 1967. The house was built in the early 50's, I assume that the sewage was collected from the laneway (ROW) by truck or horse and cart before the plumbing was installed.
There are two parts to this principle: the using and the valuing. It's important that we address both. For instance, we can value rain, but unless we use it, we'll need to rely on more energy intensive methods to have access to water. Conversely, if we use water without valuing it, we will one day run out and wonder where it all went.
I heard about a second-hand water tank that was for sale that suited my needs. It was manufactured in Seymour, but needed to be picked up from Broadford, about 20km away. Fortunately for me, my mate Brian has had some experience moving such things and has some great knot tying skills; he gave me a hand. Soon we will be able to collect rainwater (after we build a roof to collect it) to use on site.
You've got to use energy to store energy, and the slab making process has taken quite a bit of energy to produce. While a lot of the materials were sourced locally (sand, aggregate and second-hand bricks), some materials like the cement, reinforcing steel and plastic are quite energy hungry to produce and travel great distances. By using these effectively, one can justify the use of such energy intensive materials. The slab will be used to catch and store energy, hopefully much more than was used to create it.

Wallis ha contribuito allo sviluppo del calcolo infinitesimale. Tra il 1643 e il 1689 è stato capo crittografo del Parlamento del Regno Unito e successivamente della corte reale. A lui si attribuisce anche l'introduzione del simbolo ∞ che denota il concetto matematico di infinito.

Biografia

John Wallis nacque ad Ashford nel Kent, il 23 novembre 1616, terzo di cinque figli del reverendo John Wallis e di Joanna Chapman. Fu inizialmente istruito in una scuola locale di Ashford, ma si trasferì alla scuola di James Movat a Tenterden nel 1625 a seguito dello scoppio della peste. Wallis iniziò a studiare matematica nel 1631, alla scuola Martin Holbeach di Felsted; gli piacque la materia, ma il suo studio era non convenzionale: «la matematica, ai nostri tempi, non era tanto considerata sotto l'aspetto accademico, ma piuttosto sotto quello operativo».

Volendolo far diventare un medico, nel 1632 venne mandato presso l'Emmanuel College di Cambridge, un collegio fondato specificamente per l'istruzione degli ecclesiastici puritani. Lì tenne un atto sulla dottrina della circolazione del sangue; fu quella la prima occasione in Europa in cui questa teoria venne pubblicamente discussa in un confronto. Comunque, il suo principale interesse rimaneva la matematica. Ricevette il diploma di arte nel 1637 e conseguì un Master nel 1640, dopo aver preso i voti. Wallis fu insignito di una borsa di studio al Queens College di Cambridge nel 1644, alla quale dovette rinunciare a seguito del suo matrimonio con Susanna Glyde, avvenuto il 14 marzo 1645.

In tutto questo tempo, Wallis aveva aderito al partito dei Puritani, al quale egli diede grande contributo decifrando i messaggi della monarchia. La qualità della crittografia a quel tempo era di vario tipo; nonostante i successi individuali di matematici come François Viète, la teoria che sta alla base dei codici cifrati e della loro analisi era poco compresa. La maggior parte dei metodi per codificare i messaggi era realizzata ad hoc e si basava su di un algoritmo segreto, in opposizione ai sistemi basati su di una chiave variabile. Wallis comprese che i secondi erano di gran lunga più sicuri dei primi. Egli li ritenne "infrangibili", sebbene non fosse così fiducioso in questa asserzione da incoraggiare la decodifica di algoritmi crittografici. Egli si preoccupò dell'uso dei messaggi cifrati da parte di nazioni straniere; rifiutò, ad esempio, la richiesta fattagli da Gottfried Leibniz nel 1697 di insegnare crittografia agli studenti di Hannover.

Tornato a Londra, venne nominato cappellano della chiesa di San Gabriel nel 1643; Wallis si unì al gruppo di scienziati che sarebbe poi diventato la Royal Society. Fu finalmente capace di appagare i suoi interessi matematici, acquisendo la padronanza del testo di William Oughtred  Clavis Mathematicae  in solo poche settimane, nel 1647. Egli cominciò presto a scrivere i suoi trattati, che riguardavano una vasta serie di tematiche: in tutta la sua vita, Wallis diede contributi significativi alla trigonometria, al calcolo, alla geometria, e all'analisi delle serie infinite.

John Wallis si unì ai Presbiteriani moderati nel firmare la rimostranza contro l'esecuzione di Carlo I, che gli costò la duratura ostilità degli Independentisti. Nonostante la loro opposizione, nel 1649 venne nominato Professore saviliano di Geometria all'Università di Oxford, dove visse fino alla morte, avvenuta il 28 ottobre del 1703. Oltre ai suoi lavori matematici, scrisse di teologia, logica, grammatica inglese e filosofia; fu il primo ad ideare un sistema per insegnare ai sordomuti.

Matematica

Nel 1655 Wallis pubblicò un trattato sulle sezioni coniche, in cui esse vennero definite analiticamente. Questo è il primo libro nel quale queste curve vengono considerate e definite come curve di secondo grado. Ciò contribuì a rimuovere alcune delle comprensibili difficoltà e alcuni dei punti oscuri del lavoro di René Descartes sulla geometria analitica.

Nel 1656 venne pubblicata l'opera più importante di Wallis, Arithmetica Infinitorum. In questo trattato furono sistematizzati ed estesi i metodi dell'analisi di Descartes e di Cavalieri, ma alcuni concetti rimanevano aperti alla critica. Egli iniziò, dopo una breve trattazione delle sezioni coniche, sviluppando la notazione standard per le potenze, estendendole dai numeri interi positivi ai numeri razionali:

, , , ecc.
radice quadrata di , radice cubica di , ecc.
n-sima radice di .
q-sima radice di .

Tralasciando le numerose applicazioni algebriche di questa scoperta, egli proseguì cercando, tramite integrazione, l'area racchiusa tra la curva  y  =  x    m  , l'asse  x , ed ogni ascissa  x  =  h , e dimostrò che il rapporto tra quest'area e quella del parallelogramma sulla stessa base e avente stessa altezza è 1/( m +1). Egli assunse che lo stesso risultato sarebbe stato valido anche per la curva  y  = ax m, dove a è una costante, e  m  un numero positivo o negativo; ma discusse solamente il caso della parabola, in cui m = 2, e dell'iperbole, in cui m = −1. Nell'ultimo caso, la sua interpretazione del risultato è errata.
Egli mostrò poi che risultati simili possono essere scritti per tutte le curve della forma:

e quindi che, se l'ordinata y di una curva può essere sviluppata in potenze di x, la sua area può essere calcolata: perciò affermò che se l'equazione della curva fosse y = x0 + x1 + x2 + ..., la sua area varrebbe x + x2/2 + x3/3 + ... Egli applicò quindi ciò alla quadratura delle curve y = (1 − x2)0, y = (1 − x2)1, y = (1 − x2)2, ecc., nell'intervallo di estremi x = 0 e x = 1. Mostrò che quelle aree valgono rispettivamente 1, 1/6, 1/30, 1/140, ecc. Considerò poi curve della forma y = x1/m ed enunciò il teorema secondo il quale l'area compresa tra questa curva e le rette x = 0 e x = 1 è uguale all'area del rettangolo costruito sulla stessa base e avente la stessa altezza di m : m + 1. Ciò equivale a calcolare:

Egli illustrò ciò con la parabola, nel qual caso è m = 2. Affermò, ma non dimostrò, il risultato corrispondente per una curva della forma y = xp/q.

Wallis mostrò una considerevole ingegnosità nel ridurre le equazioni di curve alle forme date sopra, ma, essendo lui poco pratico con il teorema binomiale, non poté effettuare la quadratura del cerchio, la cui equazione è:

, poiché non era in grado di sviluppare questo in potenze di x. Egli formulò, comunque, il principio di interpolazione. Visto che, siccome l'ordinata del cerchio  è la media geometrica tra le ordinate delle curve  e , si può supporre che, come approssimazione, l'area del semicerchio  che è   possa essere ottenuta come media geometrica tra i valori di:
 e
che sono 1 e ; ciò equivale a prendere  o 3.26... come valore di π. Ma Wallis dissentì. Abbiamo infatti una serie ... e quindi il termine interpolato tra 1 e  deve essere scelto in modo tale da ottenere la legge di questa serie. Ciò, tramite un metodo elaborato, che non viene qui descritto in dettaglio, porta ad un valore del termine interpolato che è equivalente a considerare:

,

che è conosciuto come il prodotto di Wallis.
In questo lavoro vengono discussi anche lo sviluppo e le proprietà delle frazioni continue, argomento messo in risalto dall'utilizzo di questo tipo di frazioni ad opera di Brouncker.

Alcuni anni più tardi, nel 1659, Wallis pubblicò un trattato contenente la soluzione dei problemi sulla cicloide proposti da Blaise Pascal. All'interno del trattato egli spiegò incidentalmente come i principi da lui formulati nell' Arithmetica Infinitorum potessero essere usati per la rettificabilità di curve algebriche; e diede una soluzione al problema di rettificare (cioè di trovare la lunghezza) la parabola semi-cubica x3 = ay2 che era stata scoperta nel 1657 dal suo alunno William Neile. Poiché tutti i tentativi di rettificare l'ellisse e l'iperbole erano stati (necessariamente) inefficaci, si era supposto che nessuna curva potesse essere rettificata, come Descartes aveva asserito. La spirale logaritmica era stata rettificata da Torricelli, ed era la prima linea curva (oltre al cerchio) la cui lunghezza era stata determinata, ma l'estensione di Neil e Wallis alle curve algebriche era romanzo. La cicloide fu la successiva curva ad essere rettificata; questo fu fatto da Christopher Wren nel 1658.

Agli inizi del 1658 una scoperta simile, indipendente da quella di Neil, venne fatta da van Heuraët, e fu pubblicata da Frans van Schooten nella sua edizione della Geometria di Cartesio, nel 1659. Il metodo di Van Heuraët è il seguente: egli considerò la curva riferita agli assi ortogonali; supponiamo inoltre che (x, y) siano le coordinate di un punto su di essa, n sia la normale, e (x,η) siano le coordinate di un altro punto preso in maniera tale che sia η:h = n:y, dove h è una costante; se ds è l'elemento della lunghezza della curva richiesta, noi abbiamo da triangoli simili che ds: dx = n: y . Perciò  h ds = η dx . Quindi se l'area della posizione del punto ( x, η ) può essere trovata, la prima curva può essere rettificata. Così Van Heuraët effettuò la rettificazione della curva y 3  = ax 2  ma aggiunse che la rettificazione della parabola y 2  = ax è impossibile, poiché richiede la quadratura dell'iperbole. Le soluzioni date da Neil e Wallis sono piuttosto simili a quella di Van Heuraët, sebbene non enunci nessuna regola generale e l'analisi sia rozza. Un terzo metodo fu suggerito da Fermat nel 1660, ma risulta piuttosto inelegante e laborioso.

La teoria della collisione dei corpi fu proposta dalla Royal Society nel 1668 all'attenzione dei matematici. Wallis, Wren e Huygens spedirono soluzioni corrette e simili, tutte dipendenti da quella che oggi è chiamata la conservazione del momento; ma, mentre Wren e Huygens confinarono la loro teoria a corpi perfettamente elastici, Wallis considerò anche quelli non perfettamente elastici. Ciò fu seguito nel 1669 da un lavoro sulla statica (baricentri), e nel 1670 da un lavoro sulla dinamica: questi offrirono una sintesi conveniente di quello che fu conosciuto poi sull'argomento.

Nel 1685 Wallis pubblicò l'Algebra, preceduta da un resoconto storico sullo sviluppo dell'argomento, contenente molte informazioni preziose. La seconda edizione, edita nel 1693 e che andò a formare il secondo volume della sua Opera , venne notevolmente ampliata. Questa algebra è notevole poiché contiene il primo uso sistematico di formule. Una magnitudine determinata è rappresentata dal rapporto numerico che nasce all'unità dello stesso genere di magnitudine: così, quando Wallis volle comparare due lunghezze, considerò che ognuna contenesse molte unità di lunghezza. Questo risulta più chiaro notando che la relazione tra lo spazio descritto nel tempo da una particella che si muove con una velocità uniforme è denotato da Wallis con la formula  s  =  vt , dove  s  è il numero che rappresenta la relazione tra lo spazio descritto e l'unità di lunghezza; mentre gli scrittori precedenti avrebbero denotato la stessa relazione affermando quello che è equivalente alla proposizione s1 : s2 = v1t1 : v2t2. È curioso osservare che Wallis rifiutò come assurda l'idea attuale di ritenere un numero negativo valere meno di nulla, ma accettò che fosse qualcosa di più grande dell'infinito.

Nonostante questo, egli è considerato inoltre colui che ha dato origine all'idea della linea della retta dei numeri, nella quale i numeri sono rappresentati geometricamente in una linea con i numeri positivi che aumentano verso destra e quelli negativi verso sinistra.

WHITE CITY FLORIDA
Located in Osceola County, White City is a census-designated place (CDP) with a population of 2,513.
The city was incorporated on April 20th, 2000, making it the youngest town in Osceola County.
White City has an area of 7.8 square miles and was named after the white limestone imported from Indiana to pave roads in Central Florida around the early 1900s due to its resistance to Floridian acid etching.
White City History
In the 1800sAround 1883, Daniel G. Major moved his family from Massachusetts to Orlando, which then encompassed much of Orange County and parts of Volusia and Brevard counties, not including Sanford or Deland.
Some believe Major may have been living within the area of White City as early as 1873.
According to Major's diaries, he would often come towards the end of his life and visit local springs near White City and State Road 50 (SR-50). However, his family has yet to find any indication that these trips were anything other than recreational.
Around 1890, another man named Willis B. Arnold moved from Massachusetts to Florida due to health reasons which included tuberculosis and rheumatism.
Upon moving south, Arnold started a business called "Arnold's Resort," located on Lake Tohopekaliga (Lake Toho), which was very popular with wealthy southerners coming up for vacations during this period.
Despite using steamboats to reach his resort which was located near the lake's headwaters, it is assumed Arnold had health concerns with this due to its proximity to mosquito breeding grounds.
However, it would later become known that Arnold's Resort was located "in" White City on Lake Toho where many buildings were owned by people like the Capps, Pratts, Dodges and currently today in undeveloped land within White City - all homes built in the 1920s & 1930s for vacationers looking for a getaway.
Throughout Central Florida during this period, sawmills were popping up everywhere since most of what they produced at these mills could be shipped out via nearby waterways or railroad tracks.
As a result, many of these sawmill owners chose remote locations outside most major cities and towns in Florida during this period. For example, the closest railroad tracks to White City were built in downtown Orlando which was 12 miles away from the city limits of White City.
In the early 1900s
On February 10th, 1910, an early morning fire broke out at a lumber mill located just outside White City's current boundaries along Arnold Road (now SR-50), where it meets Rock Lake on the east side.
Due to this being before the days of water-pumping fire engines, firefighters had to resort to drawing water from nearby creeks and lakes using large buckets.
It took only 45 minutes for the entire mill, including all its equipment and three buildings used for storage, to be burned down due to a lack of proper equipment needed for fighting the blaze.
On March 10th, 1914, another sawmill was built by two men - one named George R. Lawrence and William B. Carter called the White City Lumber Company, which later became known as White City Lumber Company Mill #1 when a second mill was built not long after in 1917 by Capps Brothers on Rock Lake which is within the current city limits of White City.
For many years this company would produce lumber for local homes and buildings during the early 1920s due to rapid population increases around Florida.
However, things went downhill quickly, and by July 7th, 1925, both mills were closed and sold to Arnold Smith.
They reopened them several months later while also adding an evaporator plant to season lumber for building projects in Florida while also producing charcoal.
However, by the end of 1926, Smith closed down both mills and moved to Orlando, where he opened a box factory that later shut down due to the Great Depression in 1929.
During this period, White City was known as an "oasis" with its nearly three dozen natural springs tended by daily caretakers who made sure they were clean and open for the public's use. The city grew at a rapid pace.
Most new residents chose it likely due to its remote location out of sight from U.S. Highway 192 (US-192), which existed at this time directly west of Rock Lake.
But, it did not stretch all the way westward towards US-27 until the 1950s was paved. Even though SR-50 lived during this period, US-192 was a significant deal with tourists visiting the area to check out the springs and attractions in town.
In 1926, the Florida Power Corporation (FPL) began building two power plants alongside Rock Lake. The place was later known as "White City" despite it being built in a location known as "Clermont," Florida because White City seemed a better name for a city hosting two plans.
However, plans were changed mid-construction when one plant was switched from coal to natural gas in 1927 and was also shortened by 200 feet. In August of that same year, FPL opened its first natural gas-powered power plant, which was massive in size - capable of producing 36 megawatts of power.
By the mid-1930s, this plant would be expanded and soon began producing an excess of 100 megawatts which it continued to do so until its decommissioning in 1985.

Salma Hayek's passion project is finally coming to theaters in August
by: Gregory Ellwood March 24, 2015
Salma Hayek can breathe easy now. Her passion project "Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet" is finally coming to the big screen.
Directed by Roger Allers ("The Lion King"), "The Prophet" is a collaborative animated tale featuring individual "chapters" from animation legends such as Tomm Moore ("The Secret of Kells" "Song of the Sea"), Joan Gratz (Academy Award winner for "Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase"), Bill Plympton ("Guard Dog and Your Face"), Paul and Gaetan Brizzi ("Fantasia 2000") and Mohammed Harib ("Freej"), among others. It's based on Gilbran's 1923 book and features a voice cast including Hayek, Liam Neeson, Quvenzhané Wallis, John Krasinski, Frank Langella and Alfred Molina. The film's score is by Oscar winner Gabriel Yared ("The English Patient") and it also includes additional music from Damien Rice, Glenn Hansard ("Once") and Lisa Hannigan. So, yes, that's a lot of pedigree talent in the mix.
"The Prophet" debuted to positive reviews at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, but producer Hayek was unable to find a studio willing to release it in time for Oscar consideration last year. Hayek, who also campaigned at major film festivals around the world to raise money and awareness of the movie, was also hoping a mini-major would distribute it in the U.S. Unfortunately, while the film is from a child's point of view it likely isn't a substantial commercial play in America. Enter GKids, who has had tremendous success earning Oscar nominations for below-the-radar animated films.
In January, GKids earned two Academy Award nominations for both "The Tale of The Princess Kaguya" and "Song of the Sea." Overall, the company has six nominations in the Best Animated Feature category and are setting "The Prophet" up to be their seventh. The distributor announced today that "The Prophet" will open in New York and Los Angeles on August 7 and, eventually, open nationwide in the weeks to follow.
Currently, "The Prophet" has an 80% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with just five reviews submitted, but HitFix's own Drew McWeeny gave it an A out of Toronto and it recently earned a rave from Peter Debruge in Variety.
Other potential Best Animated Feature contenders this year include Pixar's "Inside Out," DreamWorks Animation's "Home," Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur" and Universal Pictures' "Minions."
You can watch a new preview of "The Prophet" embedded at the bottom of this post.

Marcus - Obey (single)
Dublin based artist MARCUS mixes influences of Frank Ocean, Amy Winehouse with Skepta and Mos Def, Marcus has created a unique, alternative, urban pop sound. OBEY was written over a year ago about an on/off relationship Marcus was in. It talks about how even though someone can hurt you it doesn't change how you feel about them. Having dropped out of college in 2015 Marcus started writing songs and began gigging continuously around open mic nights in Ireland. The love of performing and songwriting took him to London in 2016 where he honed his craft while playing any and every night he could. OBEY is his debut single.
The song starts with the guitar strumming and the track is slowly becoming an atmospheric, pop-influenced composition. The lyrics aren't much complicated yet leave a lasting impression on a listener. Impression of something worth being paid attention to. The mix of influences creates a unique sound making Marcus recognizable among the majority of singer/songwriters with the guitar.
With only a shoestring budget to work off, himself and the delivery driver at the takeaway he worked at, tried whatever ways they could think of to gather the money to make the cinematic video for the single. You can watch the result below.

Northern Gas Networks to carry out essential upgrade work to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply at Leeds Road, Hipperholme
The North of England's gas distributer, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing £77K to upgrade to the gas distribution network in the Leeds Road area of Hipperholme, West Yorkshire. The project is set to begin on Monday 2 November and take five weeks to complete.
The project will involve the replacement of the ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes, to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers for many years to come.
To make sure that customers, colleagues and the community are all kept safe, the work will be carried out in the street. There are also extra measures in place for safe distance working, to keep everyone safe and ensure that the project is Covid-19 secure.
Due to the complexity of the engineering works involved, and to ensure the safety of our teams and members of the public during the project, it will be necessary to introduce the following traffic management while we complete this scheme. To minimise disruption for drivers, we will also carry out the work in four phases.
Phase One will start on Monday 2 November, and finish on Wednesday 11 November. Work will start on Roydlands Street, just off the A58 Leeds Road, where a new gas main will be laid. The street will stay open through the works;
Phase Two will start on Saturday 7 November and finish on Wednesday 11 November.
Temporary two-way traffic lights will be put up first thing on the Saturday morning at the junction of Wakefield Road and Roydlands Street. Our team will work through the weekend while the roads are quieter. To maintain the flow of traffic the lights will be manned between 7am until 7pm daily;
Phase Three will start on Wednesday 11 November and finish on Wednesday 4 December. The bus stop and the bus bay at the top of Wakefield Road will be suspended on the corner opposite the Tesco Express car park, and
The last phase of the works will start on Friday 13 November and finish on Friday 4 November. Work to start on Leeds Road, at the junction with Roydlands Terrace. The parking spaces for residents of Roydlands Terrace/Leeds Road will be closed to create a space working space and maintain the flow of traffic on Leeds Road. Additional parking will be provided for the residents of Roydlands Terrace.
It's expected that journey times will be longer, so all motorists and commuters are advised to leave extra time for travel.
Chris Nevison, Business Operations Lead at Northern Gas Networks, said: "After safety, minimising the impact of road works on our customers is our top priority.
"We have worked closely with Calderdale Council and residents to plan these works. We would like to thank all our customers for their patience whilst we carry out this essential project and apologise for any inconvenience the works may cause as we look to complete them as safely and quickly as possible. All our engineers will adhere to a Covid-19 risk assessment and distance working guidance while carrying out this essential work''.
For further information about the project please contact NGN's Customer Care Team on 0800 040 7766 or email: customercare@northerngas.co.uk.
Anyone that smells gas or suspects carbon monoxide should call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999. This line is in operation 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Since the early 70's, homes have been built tighter to conserve energy by keeping cold air out in the winter and hot air out in the summer. While this does conserve energy, it also contributes to 'Tight Home Syndrome'. Tight Home Syndrome locks in dirty, sick and stale air and contributes to indoor air pollution. This indoor air pollution has been categorized by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) into three danger levels; Particles, Germs and Gases, and most often can contain microbial contaminants, such as mold and bacteria, gases (including carbon monoxide, radon, volatile organic compounds), dust, pollen and much more that can induce adverse health conditions. According to the EPA, your indoor air is typically 2 �€" 5 times and can be up to 100 times more polluted than outside air. Much of this pollution comes from toxic off gassing from carpets, building material, paint, stain, cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, bug sprays and more. Although we continue to pollute outside air it is cleansed by Mother Nature with the weather, ionization and UV energy from the sun. These natural cleansing actions are not present indoors and our immune system cannot keep up with this over abundance of indoor air pollution. The American Lung Association estimates that most people spend 90% of their time indoors breathing ultra fine particles, germs and gases that pass through our lungs and enter the bloodstream. These are the main causes of asthma, allergies and other ailments so, paying special attention to cleaning your indoor air is very important.
One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning Indoor Air Quality experts can convert your heating and cooling system into a whole house Air Treatment Center. To control these pollutants that are injurious to your health, advanced air cleaning systems like MicroPower Guard® are designed to remove the smallest particles from the air; while the OxyQuantum® UV lights will help control germs and organic odors.* Most store bought filters cannot remove these smallest of allergens and have no capability of having any effect on germs and gases.

Barinder Rasode's campaign manager wants to have Surrey City Clerk Jane Sullivan removed as the city's chief elections officer after a ballot error this past weekend.
City of Surrey: Jane Sullivan says independent legal counsel indicates her team took all appropriate steps after ballot error.
Barinder Rasode's campaign manager is "building a case" to have Surrey City Clerk Jane Sullivan removed as the city's chief elections officer.
The move came after a misprint on a ballot that left two of Rasode's candidates without the One Surrey party affiliation beside their name during advanced voting on Saturday.
One Surrey campaign manager Brad Zubyk said he contacted Sullivan at about 9 a.m. and he says the polls remained open for another couple of hours.
Sullivan sent out a notice on Monday night indicating all procedures after the error were correct.
Just under 700 of the errant ballots were cast, and a few more than 100 were sent out by mail-out, of which a small percentage are returned as votes.
Zubyk says he has nothing against Sullivan, but suggests she's over her head handling this election.
This is Sullivan's fifth time as chief elections officer in Surrey and she has also run civic elections in Alberta.
However, Zubyk said he's travelled the world observing other elections and says he's never seen anything like this occur.
"Once again, Surrey is in the media for all the wrong reasons," Zubyk said.
He was expected to file his case with the province Tuesday.


In 1991, more than 47,000 criminal charges were thrown out of Ontario courts. Why? Because of systemic disregard for the Charter-protected right to a trial within a reasonable time and a man named Elijah Anton Askov.
In 1983, Askov was charged with very serious offences: extortion, brandishing and pointing a sawed-off shotgun, and assault with a weapon. But there never was a trial. As it turned out, 34 months spent waiting for a trial was too long and unconstitutional.
All charges against Askov were stayed.
In finding that Askov's Charter rights were violated, the trial judge commented that the unreasonable delay was caused by a lack of institutional resources and that that those responsible for the administration of justice had known about the systemic problem for years.
In 1990, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the trial judge's decision and affirmed the fundamental importance of the right of accused persons, who are presumed innocent, to have the opportunity to clear their name and reputation at the earliest possible opportunity.
Then, in Ontario alone, lower courts dismissed more than 47,000 cases. And so there was swift action. Politicians increased the use of criminal sanctions to deal with complex societal problems and doubled down on their misguided love of minimum sentences.
Prosecutors and police became risk averse — overcharging by police became the norm, denial of bail became routine, and speedy resolution of cases became more difficult.
The result was overflowing court dockets and exploding jail populations. The right to a speedy trial became even more illusory than in the pre-Askov days.
So it fell to the courts to take action, and they did.
It turns out that it was easier for our courts to disregard the Charter than force change on the system.
That is how in 2016 — 25 years after Askov — the Supreme Court found itself considering whether 49.5 months of pre-trial delay amounted to a breach of the Charter.
So, in R v. Jordan, the Supreme Court confirmed what should have been glaringly apparent — 50 months is simply too long to get to trial.
Let's get this out of the way right now — the Supreme Court's decision was an unprincipled mess. In short, the court imposed a hard cap on unreasonable delay — 18 months for provincial court trials and 30 months for Superior Court matters. Any delay in excess of these caps is presumed unreasonable and the Crown bears the onus to prove otherwise. If the amount of delay falls under the hard cap, then the accused's actions are put under a microscope and the defence must show that the case took markedly longer than it should have to reach trial.
Unreasonable delay under the hard cap will be rare, says the court.
There is indeed a benefit that the hard cap brings. But how did the court conjure up its hard cap?
In the Askov case, the Supreme Court found that eight to 10 months of institutional delay was unreasonable and unconstitutional. Two years after Askov, even as the Supreme Court backpedalled on speedy trial rights in the case of Morin, the eight- to 10-month limit on institutional delay was endorsed.
So how did the Supreme Court arrive at the overly generous magic number of 18 months for a provincial court trial?
The SCC says it considered factors such as prejudice to the accused, institutional delay, time for disclosure, and other inherent factors that can reasonably contribute to delay. The court says that it conducted an extensive review of the last 25 years of Canadian jurisprudence.
But the court heard no submissions from any of the parties on how or if these factors or prior case law should contribute to the hard cap. Most importantly, the court did not do what every elementary school student is taught to do — show his or her work.
The court's hard cap is a product of judicial alchemy and is entirely unprincipled.
There was no consideration by the Supreme Court to the issues of timely trials for persons detained in custody or kids charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Does the hard cap apply in these cases? Is it reasonable for a homeless man who is denied bail to wait 18 months in jail for a simple shoplifting trial? Why is a 12-month delay not presumptively unreasonable in a case like this? Why should a stay of proceeding for delays of less than 18 months be rare in such cases?
The Supreme Court's latest decision pays lip service to the constitution while doing little to improve the pace of Canadian justice.
The court said it was hopeful that the hard cap on trial delays would cause Crown prosecutors, court administration, and politicians to make real changes to give effect to the constitutional right to a speedy trial.
Change is indeed needed. The trial judge in Askov noted the systemic underfunding of the criminal justice system — that was three decades ago — but nothing changed.
Over the last 10 years, the Harper government's regressive criminal justice policies made the problem worse and the current Trudeau government has taken no concrete step to fix the problem.
If the dismissal of almost 50,000 criminal cases in 1991 did not cause the governments to prioritize the justice funding or spur Crown counsel to take proactive steps to give effect to the constitutional rights, we should hold little hope that a cynical judgment from the Supreme Court will change anything.
Canadians have no right to a "speedy" trial. It is trial within a reasonable time. We're more concerned with getting it right than we are with speed.
Why is the prosecution always the delay scapegoat? Far from being risk-averse, prosecutors today resolve cases for sentences that would have been unconscionable a decade ago. The homeless man waiting 18 months in jail for his theft trial does not exist because, regardless of his record, he would probably be diverted. If he wasn't, he'd get probation to move his case out of the system quickly.
Lost in this analysis is the fact that delay often works to the benefit of an accused. Memories fade and witnesses move. 11(b) becomes a sword in the hand of a resourceful counsel, not a shield to protect Charter rights.
I hope this decision DOES bring about greater funding. In the meantime, let's stop blaming and recognize we all have a role to play in improving the justice system.

The Parser and DOM
What Is a Parser?
The Parser and the Application
Getting Started with DOM
Managing the State
Common Errors and How to Solve Them
DOM and Java
DOM in Applications
XML by Example, 2nd Edition
The previous chapters showed how to view and transform XML documents. Style sheets are a powerful technology but are limited to viewing and transforming. When you have more specific needs, turn to programming. This chapter introduces the best way to read XML documents from JavaScript or Java.
In this chapter, you learn
What an XML parser is
How to interface a parser with an application
What DOM, the Document Object Model, is
How to write JavaScript applications that use DOM
How to write Java applications that use DOM
Which other applications use DOM
A parser is the most basic yet most important XML tool. Every XML application includes a parser. For example, the XSL processors (Xalan and FOP) from the last chapters were based on the Xerces parser.
A parser is a software component that sits between the application and XML files. Its goal is to shield the developer from the intricacies of the XML syntax.
Parsers are confusing because they have received a lot of publicity: There are dozens of parsers freely available on the Internet. When Microsoft shipped Internet Explorer 4.0 as the first browser with XML support, they really meant they had bundled two XML parsers with it.
Yet, if you ask for a demo of a parser, you won't see much. The parser is a low-level tool that is almost invisible to everybody but programmers. The confusion arises because the tool that has so much visibility in the marketplace turns out to be a very low-level library.
Why do you need parsers? Imagine you are given an XML file with product descriptions, including prices. Your job is to write an application to convert the prices from dollars to euros.
It looks like a simple assignment: Loop through the price list and multiply each price by the exchange rate. How long would that take? A quarter of a day's work, including tests.
Yet, remember the prices are in an XML file. To loop through the prices means to read and interpret the XML syntax. It doesn't look difficult—basically, elements are in angle brackets. Let's say the quarter-of-a-day assignment is now a one-day assignment.
Do you remember entities? The XML syntax is not just about angle brackets. There might be entities in the price list. Therefore, the application must read and interpret the DTD to be able to resolve entities. While it's reading the DTD, it might as well read element definitions and validate the document.
» For more information on how the DTD influences the document, see the section "Standalone Documents" in Chapter 4.
What about other XML features: character encodings, namespaces, parameter entities? And did you consider errors? How does your software recover from a missing closing tag?
The XML syntax is simple. Yet it's an extensible syntax so XML applications have to be ready to cope with many options. As it turns out, writing a software library to decode XML files is a one-month assignment. If you were to write such a library, after one month, you would have written your own parser.
Is it productive to spend one month writing a parser library when you need only a quarter of a day's work to process the data? Of course not. It is more sensible to download a parser from the Internet or use one that ships with your favorite development tool.
Admittedly, this example is oversimplified, but it illustrates the definition of a parser: an off-the-shelf component that isolates programmers from the specifics of the XML syntax.
If you are not convinced yet or if you would rather write your own XML parser, consider this: No programmer in his or her right mind (except those working for Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and the like) would write low-level database drivers. It makes more sense to use the drivers that ship with the database.
Likewise, no programmer should spend time decoding XML files—it makes more sense to turn to existing parsers.
The word parser comes from compilers. In a compiler, a parser is the module that reads and interprets the source code.
In a compiler, the parser creates a parse tree, which is an in-memory representation of the source code.
The second half of the compiler, known as the backend, uses parse trees to generate object files (compiled modules).
Validating and Nonvalidating Parsers
You will remember that XML documents can be either well formed or valid. Well-formed documents respect the syntactic rules. Valid documents not only respect the syntactic rules but also conform to a structure as described in a DTD or a schema.
Likewise, there are validating and nonvalidating parsers. Both parsers enforce syntactic rules but only validating parsers know how to validate documents against their DTDs or schemas.
Lest there be any confusion, there is no direct mapping between well-formed and nonvalidating parsers. Nonvalidating parsers can read valid documents (that is, a document with a DTD or a schema) but they won't validate them. To a nonvalidating parser, every document is a well-formed document.
Similarly, some validating parsers accept well-formed documents (others consider it an error not to have a DTD or a schema). Of course, when working on well-formed documents, they behave like nonvalidating parsers.
As a programmer, you will like the combination of validating parsers and valid documents. The parser catches most of the structural errors for you. And you don't have to write a single line of code to benefit from the service: The parser figures it out by reading the DTD or the schema. In short, it means less work for you.

Women and emotional health – lets work together
I've only had one mentor in my working career. When we got to the third session I veered off into private world territory and they quickly reminded me we are not hear to talk about that. Safe to say session four didn't get a look in.
When Nicola Roxon was announced as the Federal Attorney General a while back I expressed my admiration for her via twitter. The only response I received was from a friend correcting the spelling of Nicola's surname. Nothing worse than promoting yourself as a writer that cant spell.
When Nicola announced her resignation I took to my phone wanting to express the same admiration but I couldn't find the words. There are a lot of old woman in shopping centres reminding the parents who wander around in a daze that they grow up too soon. That the time spent teaching them the little things will move past in a blur and we will find ourselves telling the next generation to slow down, it moves too fast.
Working Mums Masterclass announced their mentor list for 2013 and my little picture takes pride of place on that page. Penny, who owns WMM, listened to the career I'd had and the experiences I'd survived as a mum and asked me to work with mums, to promote good mental health and to explore the challenges of teetering on the edge of that old chestnut, the work/life balance. To be honest the balance isn't possible. Not just because of the multitude of responsibilities that pull us in every direction but because the playing field changes on a daily basis. We can't balance out what we can't predict, all we can do is learn some skills to develop resilience, to look after our minds and to find ways to move forward.
For me, when I first became a mum the work/life balance was non existent. I worked and then looked after my girl. There was little space for a life in between that and to be honest it was my saviour. My chance to be in the workforce, to be more me than I could be at home, to earn and provide for my daughter and to feel good that I was achieving even if it was just writing policy documents that would never see the light of day.
Fast forward five years and the arrival of my son saw me playing a whole different ball game. Acknowledging the busy-ness of the kids, the need to reassess my career and the teetering across the slippery slope of change pushed me out in to areas where some days it was more life than work and vice versa. It suits me to mix it up. I'm not on the see-saw anymore, I think I'm on that thing that spins so fast it takes a day for your eyes to adjust.
Nicola's heartfelt speech, her acknowledging about how much time would be lost if things didn't change was comforting and sad at the same time. I did think for a fleeting moment but she's has given up so much because the work that would have been required to get to the role would have been immense but on the flip-side the option to do what you love and be home for the good stuff is just as valid. Its also her playing field now, not forever.
Reaching out to people who recognise what playing field you are on, what you need to keep you out there or conversely what you need to take a break is what mentors do. Work/life balance gets thrown out there in most articles about women and careers. Balance doesn't have to be a dirty word, it can be the key to making choices you never thought you had.

In the 21st century, top producers of TV shows are celebrated as "showrunners." In the 20th century, such figures were anonymous to the general public.
Thus was the case with Charles Larson. He was the founding producer (i.e. the day-to-day producer) of The FBI, who probably should have credited as the series creator but the show never had a creator credit. He guided other series as well.
As a writer only, Larson worked on everything from the Clayton Moore-Jay Silverheels version of The Lone Ranger to the mini-series Centennial.
One of his fans was director Ralph Senensky, whose many credits included episodes of 12 O'Clock High and The FBI where Larson worked as associate producer and producer respectively.
Larson "was a fine writer who did an amazing amount of rewriting on scripts before and even during filming," Senensky wrote about Larson.
On The FBI, Larson wrote and produced the fourth episode, "Slow March Up a Steel Hill." It looks like it may have been the pilot.
There's a lot of explanatory dialogue concerning how the wife of Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) was killed in an ambush meant for the FBI man. Erskine's sidekick is determined to marry Erskine's college-age daughter (!). And it's established that Erskine was so stubborn, he sometimes got in trouble with his boss, assistant director Arthur Ward (Philip Abbott). The latter theme wouldn't be used much after the first half of the first season.
After departing The FBI after the fourth season, Larson produced other series, none of which was a big hit. He continued as a writer beyond that. One of his most memorable scripts was for the 1977 Hawaii Five-O episode The Bells Toll at Noon. There were three separate writing credits but Larson was listed as doing the final teleplay.
The story concerns a disturbed man (Rich Little) who kills people while re-enacting scenes from classic movies. Little, the famed impressionist, mimicked James Cagney and other movie stars. It was one of the highlights of the show's ninth season.
Larson died in 2006 at the age of 83.
Stephen Brooks and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as photographed by William W. Spencer in The FBI.
Another in a series of unsung figures of television.
With films, the director of photography often is celebrated as an artist and a critical contributor.
On television? Not so much. Even today, with TV's prestige at an all-time high (where television is hailed as more adult than motion pictures), directors of photography don't get the attention of their movie counterparts.
However, people who worked with television directors of photography are fully aware of how much they bring to the table. That's certainly the case with William W. Spencer, a two-time Emmy winner who was also nominated a third.
"Billy Spencer was an artist who painted with light," director Ralph Senensky wrote on his website about The FBI episode titled The Assassin.
Similar comments were expressed by those in front of the camera. "He knew what he wanted all the time, how he wanted to set it up, how it would be dramatically correct," actress Lynda Day George told author Jonathan Etter for the book Quinn Martin, Producer.
In the first episode of The FBI, Jeffrey Hunter played Francis Jerome, a psychotic killer with sexual identity issues. Jerome kills women by strangling them with their own long hair.
In Act III, Jerome visits the dreary home of his domineering grandmother (Estelle Winwood). After bending to her will, yet again, Jerome freaks out as he looks at the portrait of the long-haired Blue Boy.
In a close up, Spencer's lights emphasize Jerome's eyes. In the 21st century, that's an old-fashioned technique, but effective in telling the story.
Born in 1921, Spencer worked camera-related jobs at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as the studio was beginning to decline from its glory days. He graduated to director of photography (one of two) for the 1958 movie Andy Hardy Comes Home.
MGM shifted Spencer to television with a series based on The Thin Man. He would work in television for the bulk of his career.
That meant working faster than even modestly budgeted movies.
"You were constantly adapting, constantly sacrificing and letting things go," Spencer told Etter for the Quinn Martin book.
Spencer worked on various series, including The Richard Boone Show, an anthology show with the same actors appearing every week. From there, he was recruited to QM Productions and assigned to photograph 12 O'Clock High, the World War II drama.
The director of photography picked up his first Emmy for that series. QM then shifted Spencer to The FBI, the production company's first color series.
"Now he was filming in color and his photography was magnificent, because he lit it the same way he lit black and white, with cross lighting," Ralph Senensky wrote about The Assassin episode of The FBI..
Spencer mostly worked at QM for more than a decade. He occasionally scored movie jobs, including 1967's Countdown and QM's only feature film, 1971's The Mephisto Waltz.
After QM ceased operations, Spencer remained active into the 1980s. He won a second Emmy for the Fame television series.
Spencer died in 2007, at the age of 85.
John Conwell's title card in a second-season episode of 12 O'Clock High.
One of an occasional series about unsung heroes of television.
In the 1960s and '70s, shows produced at QM Productions had the feel of a repertory theater as many of the same guest stars appeared on various Quinn Martin shows.
As noted in the book Quinn Martin, Producer, there was an even nick name for this: the "QM Players." The informal group consisted of performers such as Leslie Nielsen (star of the first QM series, The New Breed), Peter Mark Richman, Louise Latham, Jessica Walter, J.D. Cannon, Lynda Day George, Bradford Dillman and many others.
The QM executive responsible for this was John Conwell, who headed the company's casting operation. He was a former actor, appearing in such productions as The Twilight Zone pilot, Where Is Everybody? and as a guest star in a Ray Milland series, Markham.
Conwell moved from in front of the camera to behind it, including the fourth season of The Twilight Zone, when the show aired in a one-hour format. He became part of QM Productions with that company's second series, The Fugitive.
For most of his time at QM, however, Conwell's titles in QM show credits didn't really give the audience an idea of what he did.
In any case, Conwell became one of producer Quinn Martin's key lieutenants. Martin paid more for guest stars ($5,000 for a one-hour episode compared with a going rate of $2,500). So that helped raise the interest of performers to be on QM shows.
Still, it was Conwell who ran the QM casting operation, which also had casting directors for individual series. That may help to explain why actors kept coming back.
Conwell even stayed at the company after Martin's departure following the sale of QM Productions to Taft Broadcasting. He died in 1994 at the age of 72.

Chicco Jerikho exclusive DA MAN fashion spread
Indonesian-Thai acting sensation Chicco Jerikho is probably one of the few people that successfully turned a childhood obsession into a professional career in show business. By Refa Koetin
Suit by Etro, shirt by Banana Republic
"To be honest, I wanted to be a pilot before I wanted to be an actor, because I'm a fan of Superman and I wanted to be able to fly like him," Chicco tells DA MAN while chuckling briefly after being asked to explain his dreams as a child. Although he didn't quite make it to be a pilot, the 27-year-old model and actor pursued his other childhood dream of being in the movies.
"My father is a huge fan of the movies. I'm talking real films like Godfather, Star Wars, Superman, Star Trek and everything else in between. I picked up his passion right away, and I love any and all films." Explaining his heartfelt obsession for movies, Chicco went on, "I believe that every movie ever made had a certain value. A message. I had always appreciated what these movies are trying to tell us." His favorite actor is Al Pacino. When asked why, with a hearty laugh, he replies, "because I'm Al PaChicco!"
The dream begins
Chicco Jerikho Jarumilinal was born in Jakarta in 1984. His father is a Thai businessman, Chana Jarumilinal, his mother, Deby, is Indonesian of Batak heritage. The name "Chicco" means "man" and was given to him by his mother. His grandfather bestowed upon him the name "Jerikho" after the ancient Wall of Jericho.
As he grew older, Chicco got familiar with the real world—school and other teenage stuff—and the path to fulfilling his childhood dream seemed to slowly fade away. That is, until the year 2000, when his chance came. Being the athletic and good-looking teenager that he was, Chicco won first place in a cover boy competition that year hosted by a popular teenage magazine, and went on to be shot as the magazine's cover boy. With his face on the cover of the nationwide magazine, the young model was encouraged to keep pursuing the dream.

Chicco went on to participate in commercials, therefore improving his experience in the industry. He also learned firsthand that rejection is part of the deal. "I remember there was this part for a boxer in a certain TV film. I was very excited about it and I really want to get the part, but I didn't. I was disappointed back then." Taught to be tough and not whine about small things, Chicco endured and refused to linger on one rejection.
While keeping himself focused on finishing school, Chicco kept doing commercials and played small roles on numerous films whenever he could before his big break came in 2007. He was offered a lead role in a 2007 TV series titled Cinta Bunga. Facing this new challenge, the 179-centimer tall young actor had to get himself accustomed to the routine. "I had longer lines to memorize, a bigger environment to work and familiarize with and a deeper character to develop. These are some of the challenges I faced, but I happily powered through them, and I actually had fun doing so."
When asked about a personal quality that he gave credit to for his success, Chicco explained, "I believe in never feeling content about myself. No matter how good I am at something, there's always room for improvement. I want to keep pushing myself to try harder, see farther and achieve greater." With that kind of attitude, perhaps nothing can stop him. Following his big TV gig hit, Chicco started playing more roles both in television as well as big-screen movies. His leading role in TV series included those in the sequel Cinta Bunga 2 and Bayu Cinta Luna in 2009 and Sinar and Taxi in 2010, the year in which he won the 13th Panasonic-Gobel Award for Favorite Actor.
About the award, Chicco recalls, "It was a feeling like none other. I knew I was getting better, but I didn't expect to win, especially because most of the other nominees were far more experienced. I was speechless that day."
His television work in 2011—Cahaya Cinta (Light of Love) and Aishiteru (Japanese for 'I Love You')—further improved his experience and acting prowess. "In 2011, I won an award for the 'Sexiest Male.' The other nominees were Irfan Bachdim and more experienced actors, so again, I didn't expect to win, but I did. Like always, as much as I'm thrilled, I try to keep my feet on the ground because I know there's so much room for improvement." And this evidenced by the fact that despite his many achievements, Chicco is always looking to join acting classes and lessons to improve his skills.
Aside from that down-to-earth, always-grow approach, Chicco explained what else he does to improve himself. Since he has had to play so many different characters on so many different sets, Chicco likes to observe people. "My mentors have taught me to observe people, any kind of people, and to see how they do things. This has helped me a lot in growing into my characters, since most of them tend to be normal people." Whether at the malls, restaurants, airports or other public places, Chicco likes to take some time to pick up how regular people do their regular business. What happens if someone caught him looking, we ask. "I play dumb. What else is there to do?" He says with a casual laugh.

Getting mature
Although he still has a lot ahead of him at 27 years of age, Chicco is starting to 'play' more mature roles in real life. "I recently realized that I need to organize my time better. I'm constantly trying to manage my schedule better so that I can work with maximum efficiency." Realizing one's weakness is not always easy, but Chicco is willing to work on his weaknesses to improve himself.
Relationship-wise, he is currently going steady with girlfriend Laudya Chintya Bella, a beautiful actress whom he worked with—and later fell in love—in his first big TV show, the aforementioned Cinta Bunga. Being an extremely busy actor/actress couple, Chicco and Bella must make an extra effort to be with each other. "We're getting pretty good at utilizing small time windows. It's hard to explain, but my point is that we do our best to spend time with each other. This includes during filming breaks, off days, after-hours and so on."
We asked if he thought this is the real thing and whether he'll be looking to tie the knot soon, and he replied, "I'm extremely comfortable with Bella. She can be a friend, confidante, sister and so much more. She knows how to handle me and I'm grateful to have her as my girlfriend. I can tell you that we're definitely going there," while adding, "If everything goes well, and if God wills it, yes, I'd love for us to walk the 'golden mile' by then."
Aside from working with his girlfriend on a new TV series—title of which is still being kept secret—Chicco is currently busy managing his other endeavor. In planning for the future, Chicco is branching out in business, specifically, the culinary world. The soft opening for his Thai food restaurant was in May 2011 and he's already planning on establishing a branch. "It's been going really well. We have our own Thai chef who is a friend of my father, and we're currently trying to decide whether we should open another one in Bali."
