The advantages of outpatient surgery over inpatient surgery is cost effective and include greater convenience to the patients. Postoperative pain or infection and complication rates are lower after ambulatory surgery than inpatient surgery.
There are many general surgical diseases which can be operated on daycare basis without need of staying in hospital overnight.
Daycare General Surgical operations are done by minimally invasive techniques.
Patient need not have to stay overnight in the hospital. After the operation is done in morning, patient are kept for few hours in the recovery room followed by discharge on the same evening itself.
It reduces risk of cross-infection or hospital acquired infection.
Patient can resume to his/her routine activities early.
Kindly keep all your valuables at home (including jewellery and keys).
Take a shower or bath before you come to the hospital.
A family member, relative or friend must be available to take you home after your procedure.


In a u-turn for Microsoft, the company has now announced that it will licence it's free Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) anti-virus product for small businesses from October.
The move is a turn around from the launch of the product, which is based on the same scanning engine as the company's award-winning ForeFront Client Security, corporate anti-virus package, when it said the product was strictly for home and OEM use only.
In a blog post yesterday the company said "This new availability will allow small businesses to take advantage of Microsoft's no-cost anti-malware service that will help them save time, save money and remain productive while protecting them from viruses, spyware and other malicious threats."
This move will be broadly welcomed by many small businesses for whom finances can be especially tight when it comes to ICT. However it could be a canny move by Microsoft who are planning to launch a managed security environment package, based on Security Essentials, late this year or early next that is aimed, specifically, at small businesses!
Former US President Theodore Rosvelt once famously said "If you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow." If Microsoft can encourage companies to install MSE then the upgrade to the managed version would be pain and worry free.
Microsoft Security Essentials is a successor to the company's ill-fated Live OneCare subscription anti-virus package.

Morning Coffee: The most underpaid man at HSBC. And the London-New York virus vector
by Daniel Davies 12 March 2020
We've all heard stories about arrogant investment bankers who claim to know everything about how to run the whole bank, but wouldn't take the CEO job because they "can't afford the pay cut". In Europe at least, that seems to be literally true. HSBC is the latest bank that appears to be getting a chief executive on the cheap, with Noel Quinn's salary this year rising only 2.5% to £1.3m ($1.7m), despite the fact that he's spent the last six months working above his pay grade as interim CEO on a Global Head of Commercial Banking's salary. He also got a £665k bonus according to the annual accounts, but this hardly takes him into the big leagues.
Quinn isn't exactly a night-watchman either, having unveiled a significant cost reduction plan and the sale of a major subsidiary in France. All the time, he's displayed considerable loyalty, not even complaining publicly at having his job quite blatantly shopped round Europe. Now that Jean-Pierre Mustier (another famous member of the cheap dates club) has turned them down, surely they could have found a bit more in the pot?
It's not as if HSBC are always reluctant to pay up – according to recent disclosures, there are 93 people who did better than Mr Quinn last year. The cost-cutting program has been sold to the market as cutting down on the numbers of the highest earners, but the overall number of people earning more than €1m a year actually rose in 2019, with an increase in the numbers between €3m and €4m, a higher price point than the chief.
We've argued in the past that there can be an element of "long term greedy" to the decision to take a low CEO salary during a period when the business as a whole is going through change. It shows a good example to everyone else, and provides a strong argument for divisional managers to resist exorbitant demands from banker and traders to say that they can't ask for more than the top boss. If it helps you drive through a genuinely effective business transformation program, then it's cheap at the price – you gain on the stock options and you get to come back in a few years with a convincing case for a better deal, either from your own remuneration committee or, as with Ralph Hamers, from the job market.
But, there's got to be a certain amount of "within reason" here. HSBC is one of the very biggest banks in the world and although it's not quite in the double digit RoE territory, it's not a basket case. John Flint got £1.5m fixed and £4.6m total comp for running it in 2018; in fact, for 2019 Mr Quinn was the lowest paid Executive Director in the remuneration report. Presuming – as now surely appears to be the case – that his interim appointment is going to be made permanent, someone needs to have a word with HSBC about paying the going rate for the job.
Elsewhere in the world, how would you feel if your spouse returned from a business trip with the gift of coronavirus? There's at least one consultant in New York who may possibly be having a few friendly discussions with her husband on the subject of what constitutes "essential travel", over the course of a fortnight shut up with the kids in their Hudson Valley holiday home out of season.
Unlike the rest of Europe, according to President Trump's speech last night, London will still be open to U.S.-based executives who want to have dinner with virus-shedding clients, but does anyone really want to? The calculus of career risk has surely changed in the last week; no longer is it seen as brave and self-sacrificing to go the extra mile in the face of epidemic danger, it now appears blatantly irresponsible. It's only March – by the end of the year, the bonus committee will have forgotten who failed to make it to the "mandatory" client presentation in some Gulf State or other, but the likelihood is that the name of the person who caused an entire recovery site to be shut down for two weeks will be remembered for years to come.

Bat Conservation International's mission is to conserve the world's bats and their ecosystems to ensure a healthy planet. Based in Austin, Texas, BCI is devoted to conservation, education and research initiatives involving bats and the ecosystems they serve. It was founded in 1982, as scientists around the world became concerned that bats, which are crucial for maintaining the balance of nature and the health of many human economies, were in alarming decline. Under the founding guidance of Dr. Merlin Tuttle, an internationally recognized authority on bats, the organization achieved unprecedented progress by emphasizing sustainable uses of natural resources that benefit both bats and people.
BCI now employs a staff of more than 30 biologists, educators and administrators, supported by members in some 60 countries. BCI's educational achievements include major television documentaries, such as The Secret World of Bats, and award-winning exhibits that continue to reach millions of people each year. Its publications and audiovisual programs empower thousands of BCI members and partners to greatly extend the organization's philosophy and mission.
BCI's conservation efforts have resulted in permanent protection for many of North America's most important remaining bat caves, saved millions of bats from being accidentally buried during mine-safety closures and led to creation of the first national park in U.S. history to protect a tropical rainforest. BCI has sponsored research documenting the key roles of bats in major ecosystems, supported training for graduate students in 62 countries, and trained hundreds of wildlife managers from more than 20 countries in bat-management and conflict-avoidance techniques.
Today, BCI is expanding its bat conservation goals and, through its growing worldwide partnerships, is multiplying the impact of every dollar invested.
But much remains to be done as we educate increasingly urbanized generations to appreciate and protect the natural world. BCI has proven that bats and people can live together in harmony, with great mutual benefit. Bats are an irreplaceable and invaluable natural resource that simply must be conserved. Nevertheless, they still rank among the world's most misunderstood and endangered wildlife. Hence, BCI's continuing mission.
Tangible and Lasting Conservation Results: BCI recognizes the mounting pressures on bats throughout the world and is dedicated to working at a global scale, leveraging BCI's human and financial resources many times over through targeted innovation, conservation action and enhancing the capacity of partners. We are dedicated to finding "win-win" solutions that safeguard bats and help communities meet their related economic, social and public health needs without compromising our core mission of protecting bats and their habitats worldwide.
Respect and Commitment to Diversity: As a global organization, BCI respects the beliefs, cultural traditions and socioeconomic and political conditions that distinguish communities and countries. We value the unique perspectives and qualities of each person and create an environment of trust, mutual respect and teamwork within and outside BCI. We are committed to strengthening the diversity of our Board, staff and volunteers.
Integrity and Accountability: BCI's Board of Directors, staff and volunteers are dedicated to the highest ethical and professional standards, acting with complete honesty, transparency and fair dealing, and obeying all applicable laws and regulations wherever we work. We are accountable to our mission, members, partners and each other in upholding our values, knowing that lasting conservation success depends not only on what we do, but how we do it.
We collaborate with government, industry, academia, communities and the nonprofit sector to achieve lasting conservation at scale for the world's bats.
We work to build the capacity of myriad public and private partners, scientific networks, and communities to protect bats and their essential habitats.
We identify, promote and fund research on important scientific and conservation questions that contribute to the lasting protection of bats.
We engage on priority conservation needs using the best available scientific and management information to avoid further extinctions and resolve threats to bats.
We inspire people, communities, government agencies and organizations to act through partnerships and networks, providing training, technical information, management know-how and other resources to protect bats.
BCI engages in strong working relationships with private community leaders and public agencies and officials in the countries and localities in which we work, and abides by all applicable laws and regulations in those countries.

We live in an older house with a retrofitted electrical system. The wires are housed in a flexible conduit, which I've learned is called armored cable, or BX. We'd like to convert our old two-prong outlets to three-prong, grounded outlets. Can we do this project without rewiring the entire house?
Tim Luce, a master electrician in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, replies: There are a couple of ways to change your old two-prong, ungrounded receptacles to three-prong, grounded receptacles safely without having to rewire your house. As with any work on existing wiring, the first step is shutting off the power to the circuit that you will be working on. Next, remove the wall cover plate and the old receptacle.
The third prong on a three-prong receptacle is for grounding. In order to function properly, the ground screw on the receptacle must be connected to a known ground, usually to a ground wire running from the main panel. On older homes, the flexible metal conduit on armored cable is normally used in place of a ground wire. The conduit is clamped to the electrical outlet box on one end and to a known ground, such as the grounding stake on the other end (at the main panel). The electrical outlet box then can act as a ground for the receptacle.
It's best to test the outlet box to make sure it's properly grounded before you connect a ground wire to it. You can do this with a continuity tester, checking the continuity between the box and a known ground. If testing shows that the box is properly grounded, insert a 10/32 machine screw into the hole in the back of the box and attach the ground wire from the grounding screw on the new receptacle here. The hot and neutral wires then can be attached to their proper terminals and the new receptacle screwed into the electrical outlet box.
After you've finished the installation of the new outlet, I recommend testing the outlet with a three-light tester (see Ground-Fault Protection) to confirm that the outlet is functioning properly. In most cases, this work is all you'll need to do to replace your receptacles.
In my experience, if an outlet box is not grounded, it's usually due to corrosion that has broken the connection or rusted out the metal conduit at some point between the box and the main panel. Finding that point may be next to impossible, and an alternative is running a ground wire from the grounding screw on the outlet box back to known ground.
By the way, you shouldn't assume that the copper water pipe in your house is a good grounding point. Because of the wide use of plastic piping for the water-supply line into a house, the national code no longer allows the connection of a ground wire to a metal water pipe unless it's within 5 ft. of where a metal supply pipe enters the house. Connecting the grounding wire to the grounding stake at the main electrical panel is the safest bet if you choose to travel this route, but this installation procedure is probably best undertaken by a licensed electrician.
Another replacement solution can be found in a special exception granted by the National Electric Code in section 210-7D of the 1993 codebook. As strange as it may seem, the code recommends replacing a two-prong receptacle with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) without attaching a wire to the GFCI's grounding screw. Any receptacles downstream of the GFCI, hooked up to the load side of the GFCI, should be replaced with a standard three-prong outlets, but again with no wire attached to the grounding screw. This system works because the GFCI monitors the difference in current between the black and the white wires and does not depend on a ground wire to protect the circuit.
The biggest problem with this solution is determining exactly which outlets or other circuits might be shared by the GFCI-protected circuit. Electrical installations in older homes were often done using the easiest path for snaking wires through walls and ceilings, and sometimes they don't follow logical patterns. A further complication to this method of receptacle replacement is that the downstream receptacles will test as ungrounded even though they are protected by the GFCI. Because of these complications, I would again recommend having a licensed electrician do the work. It's also a good idea to check with your local electrical inspector to make sure that there are no exceptions in the local code that prohibit these types of installations.

Daily Lists
7 Nerdy Franchises That Should Be Board Games
By Ethan Kaye January 10, 2011 Daily Lists, Miscellaneous 0 Comment
?A few weeks ago we ran a daily list about 10 board games that Hollywood hasn't managed to greenlight as movies… yet. Every day it seems like another vague memory from our childhoods is green-lit, for good or for ill, into a film or a series or comic book. But what about going backwards?
Why not take some beloved nerdy franchises — or even not so beloved — and turn them into board games? I mean, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Power Rangers, and Fraggle Rock have all made it to family game nights in the past, so why not a few more? Here are seven potential board games, all based off nerdy properties just dying for a tie-in game. Milton Bradley and Parker Bros., you can send my check care of Topless Robot.
7) Futurama Delivery Madness
Good news, everyone! Planet Express has deliveries to make! In fact, every player's ship has to make five deliveries to various planets before they can declare themselves a winner. Choose which Planet Express employee you'd like to be, and you're off! The 4-way electronic dispatcher (using the voices of Fry, Leela, Bender, and Dr. Zoidberg) sends you and three of your friends out on your missions, and tells you what your moves are. The moves are all generated randomly, so Fry might tell you to go ahead five spaces one minute and back to start the next. Or just give you a free pass to slack off and skip one of the missions entirely. When you've made your delivery, get your next mission and hope your friends haven't made theirs!
6) Lord of the Rings Guess Who
It's just like Guess Who. Except with the full cast of Lord of the Rings. The board is the size of three pizza boxes taped together. It includes every single wood elf, human, orc, ent, hobbit and dwarf mentioned in the three LOTR movies. It's a cast of hundreds, and limiting it to a light-haired elf who fought at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields still means that you have a good hour left to play.
5) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Using a standard game board with multiple spaces for tokens to move on, your goal is to move through Las Vegas and back to Los Angeles first. Picking up cards tells you how many spaces to move, but, like with all board games, there is a catch. First off, before anyone moves, the players decide on what the cards mean: "THIS IS BAT COUNTRY!" can mean drive ahead two spaces, or it might mean move back one. "JUST TELL ME ABOUT THE FUCKING GOLF SHOES!" could mean that you advance a space or lose a turn. These rules are decided at the beginning of the game. But as the cards are pulled, some of them say things like "ETHER BINGE is now IS THIS NOT A LEGITIMATE PLACE TO PARK?" and the values of those cards are switched. Now you have to keep track of both your arbitrary card values and the new values that they have now become. Sometimes they switch back. Sometimes they change again. It's all one big mind-fuck, until you get to Los Angeles.
4) Rocky IV
A game for two players with one deck of cards, it's a variation on the game War. Each of the 70 cards is identical: it's an extended arm with a boxing glove at the end. You don't know which way it's facing though, so when you flip them over they could be pointing at your opponent (a hit!) or back at you (a hit in your face!). You and your opponent flip these cards as fast as you can, then when the turn's up you count how many cards hit you and how many cards hit your opponent. The most hits wins! BUT there's a special Rocky IV twist. There are five "Training" cards mixed in the deck, and if you put down one of them, your opponent has to give you five of their cards. That's more opportunities to punch him out for America!
3) Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark 3-D Adventure
3-D games used to be the rage, with complex spires rising out of cardboard street scenes so the Ghostbusters could follow a maze to zap some ghosts. What else has dangerous heights and impending doom? The Spider-Man musical! You start out with five Spider-Man cut-outs that attach high above the cardboard 3-D set. Each turn you draw a card that either moves your character forward or backwards. Doing this, of course, shakes the 3-D tower, and might cause your piece (or your opponent's pieces!) to fall into the audience below. Your piece falls, you lose one of your Spider-Men and you need to start from the beginning. Don't worry, there are a couple of "Julie Taymor bails you out" cards, where you can put your token back where it was before he fell, like nothing bad ever happened.
2) 2001: A Space Monopoly
Humanity takes its first evolutionary steps when a mysterious monolith introduces the idea… of real estate! Players chose from a bone, a spaceplane, an EVA-Pod, and Arthur C. Clarke. The first side of the board is prehistoric ape territory, the second is the moon, the third is the orbit of Jupiter, and the final side is the Space Baby. Players buy locations, then wheel and deal and try to "evolve" their riches by erecting monoliths. But be careful you don't land on the HAL-9000, because you'll go to jail… and HAL has cut off the oxygen supply!
1) Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Highlander
Two men enter, one man leaves with the other's head. There can be only one! Take the two robots from the classic punching-then-resetting action game and put some neck-level swords in their hands! Swing around a Scotland-themed ring taking swipes at your opponent's soft throat area. When your blade hits the pressure point, your opponent's head pops off. You can reset, of course, but to be more movie-accurate, you should go off and brood for a while.

Harvard Doctor Who Questioned Hospital's Pro-Gay Policy Loses Final Appeal
by Church Militant • ChurchMilitant.com • December 18, 2015
Dr. Paul Church was fired from his job at a Boston hospital for objecting to its promotion of homosexuality
BOSTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - A respected member of the Harvard Medical School faculty has officially been expelled from his position at a major Boston hospital for voicing concerns about the hospital's promotion of the LGBT lifestyle.
The board of directors of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) has informed Dr. Paul Church, on the Harvard faculty and a doctor for nearly 30 years at the hospital, that they will uphold his dismissal from the hospital and that his medical privileges have been permanentely rescinded.
The removal took place following more than a decade of voiced concerns from the doctor over the hospital's promotion of LGBT interests. For three years beginning in 2004, Dr. Church and others sent emails to the hospital president and the board of directors following yearly announcements of the hospital's "Gay Pride Week." Scheduled events included an LGBT achievement award ceremony celebrating BIDMC's "commitment to inclusion and respect" as one of their "most deeply held core values and cherished traditions."
Doctor Church's response noted the "evidence is irrefutable that behaviors common within the homosexual community are unhealthy and high risk for a host of serious medical consequences." He stated that it "is altogether inappropriate for BIDMC to endorse, affirm or encourage the behaviors 'celebrated' by Gay Pride Week." The doctor finished by calling on the hospital to "put [their] mission as a healthcare institution ahead of misguided zeal for political correctness and inclusiveness."
The emails were met with what was described as insinuations of "discrimination."
Dr. Paul Church
In 2007 then-BIDMC president Paul Levy posted one of Dr. Church's emails on his personal blog, resulting in cries of bigotry, with comments questioning Church's morality, medical credentials and beliefs. A healthcare worker associated with the hospital commented that the "ignorant doctor" needed "proper training" in LGBT issues.
After responding to the 2009 annual pride week email, Dr. Church was summoned before his department head, where he was accused of harassment, misconduct and violating hospital policies because he had included the two employee LGBT organizers in his email response. He received threats of disciplinary action.
An email sent around in May 2011 concerning that year's LGBT Achievement Award Ceremony included the announcement that the hospital would be shooting a pro-LGBT video titled "Making It Better." Dr. Church responded to the email, stating he "would be delighted to offer a view from the 'other side' and expound on the significant health risks posed by homosexuality and its high-risk behaviors" and noted the idea "seems especially appropriate for a healthcare institution." He claims he received no reply.
That June, hospital staff were sent an email inviting them to participate in the Boston Gay Pride Parade. Dr. Church wrote a letter to BIDMC interim president Eric Buehrens summarizing the medical risks of homosexual behavior and cautioning the president of encouraging such behavior. He claims he again received no reply.
Beginning in July an investigation headed by an "Ad Hoc Focused Peer Review Committee" was launched into charges of "harassment" against Dr. Church. The committee stated it would examine the doctor's "professional performance as a member of the medical staff" and "incidents involving conduct and communications" believed to be in violation of BIDMC bylaws.
In a personal statement presented to the committee in September, Dr. Church stated that he has had "a multitude of patients over the years who would identify themselves as gay, lesbian and even transgender" and that his interactions "have always been nonjudgmental, compassionate and professional," citing the hospital's "greater mission of promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyles."
A later letter from Dr. Church to the committee chairman pointed out that "[t]ruly caring for the well-being of individuals requires telling them the truth about their choices."
By November the doctor received a "Letter of Reprimand" threatening further discipline unless he abided by the following condition:
There shall be no communications, verbal or written, sent to or made available to, BIDMC employees, medical staff, or other work force members, patients or visitors concerning your opinion about sexual orientation, homosexuality or other protected status.
A second committee was formed in September 2014 to investigate Church for violating the conditions of the letter of reprimand. This investigation culminated in an appearance in February 2015 before the entire Medical Executive Committee, which consisted of physicians, administrators and appointees.
On March 30 2015, BIDMC president Dr. Kevin Tabb informed Dr. Church that, despite an outpouring of support from coworkers and thousands of signed petitions from over 70 countries, the committee had voted to remove him from BIDMC.
Following the board's official dismissal, Dr. Church released a statement yesterday saying he was "deeply disappointed" with the outcome, but is grateful that his concerns have been brought "into the spotlight of the public arena."
Dr. Church concluded by expressing his "sincere regrets that the administration and Directors have departed from the institution's higher mission and calling in favor of following a highly controversial social agenda" and announced plans to continue his medical practice elsewhere as a doctor dedicated to "advocating for healthy and moral choices."

Bookings for the Harrier are currently open, with booking amount set at Rs 30,000.
Tata Motors began accepting bookings for the upcoming Harrier SUV yesterday, and the company has announced a refundable booking amount of Rs 30,000 for the car. According to a few dealers we spoke to, the market launch and price announcement for the Harrier are likely to take place in early January, with deliveries expected to commence in the second-half of the same month.
The Tata Harrier is a Creta-rivalling, five-seat SUV that will come with a 2.0-litre diesel engine and two gearbox options – a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic.
A first image of the production-spec Harrier had surfaced on the internet recently, giving us a proper glimpse of the SUV's exterior styling. Tata's Impact Design 2.0 theme will make its debut on the Harrier and will be seen later on the upcoming 45X hatchback too, which is slated for launch in the latter-half of 2019.
A few days ago, we got our hands on a dealer document that revealed indicative pricing for the Harrier in the range of Rs 16-21 lakh, on road.

Q: jQuery Datatables not serializing more than 1000 records I have a jQuery Datatable that renders 1500 rows at the client side.  My User checks the rows and then I send the Ids of selected rows and save the data.
This is working fine for the first 1000 rows but any time more than that is checked the data does not seem to be getting posted - on Dev Tools the call to MVC controller shows a 500 internal server error but with a breakpoint on the method it doesn't get hit?
If I have 1000 rows selected the breakpoint gets hit and all 1000 ids are passed.  Once I add 1 more row to be checked the breakpoint doesn't get hit but I see 500 internal server error on Dev Tools?
My code is below:
  $('#saveBtn').click(function () {
    var dataArr = [];
    var rows = $('tr.selected');
    var rowData = myTable.rows({ selected: true }).data();

    $.each($(rowData), function (key, value) {
      dataArr.push(value[0]); //Id is hidden in 1st column of the table
    });

    $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: '@Url.Action("SaveData", "MyController")',
      data: JSON.stringify(dataArr),
      contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
      success: function (data) {
        location.reload();
      },
      error: function () {
        sweetAlert("Error Occurred Saving");
        location.reload();
      },
    });
  });

My MVC Controller is pretty straight forward
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SaveData(List<int> Ids)
{
  //private method that just calls to the DB and sets a flag to say that Id was checked
  SaveData(Ids);

  return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}

I have tried to add the below to my MVC Web config but I still dont get breakpoint hit when I select more than 1000
<system.web.extensions>
  <scripting>
    <webServices>
      <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="2147483644"/>
    </webServices>
  </scripting>
</system.web.extensions>

A: Adding  to your appSettings element in configuration overrides default max limit as ASP.NET rejects request if they contain more than 1000 elements due to security concerns.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh975440(v=vs.120).aspx

A: One of the way we can resolve the issue is specifying the maxlength of the json result in the c#.
Example:-
jsonResult.MaxJsonLength = 999999999;
return  jsonResult

The Genie is Out of the Bottle
Right now, from China's perspective, intensifying Hong Kong protests arguably pose a greater problem than the trade dispute with the US. A repeat of the Tiananmen events, three decades ago, is to be avoided at all cost – for the sake not just of the Chinese, but also the global economy.
Although no longer THE gateway to China, having been supplanted in recent years by Shanghai – alongside a number of other east coast harbours – Hong Kong nonetheless remains a major business and financial centre. Its implosion would have severe economic repercussions, meaning that the conflictive situation requires careful management. And it is not just a matter of replacing the governor or repealing the extradition bill that sparked the protests. The unrest has since taken on an ideological turn, pertaining to the very independence of the city. Arresting leading activists was certainly no "spur of the moment" decision, given how China's leadership usually functions, but it has clearly upped the stakes. Two scenarios could develop from here: violence escalates, providing the Chinese military with an "excuse" to intervene, or the protests gradually lose momentum. Us Westerners can only watch from a distance, hoping for the latter outcome. Hoping, that is to say, that the Chinese authorities will find a way to back down without losing face, and then accept to sit out the situation through 2047, when Hong Kong automatically integrates into China.
On the trade front, meanwhile, the dispute continues, with China having recently started to really show its teeth. We talk here not of alleged "underwater" renminbi depreciation, but rather of the publicly announced retaliatory tariffs (on US cars and, more surprisingly, crude oil) as well as the halting of US soybean purchases. Angering President Trump is perhaps seen by China as the only remaining way to achieve a deal. But while US and Chinese negotiators should eventually find common ground, we do not expect a formal agreement until the fall of 2020. Donald Trump will want his "moment of glory" for obvious reasons as close to the Presidential election as possible.
Over the next months, investors will have to bear with more sabre-rattling – and find solace in the odd pacifying tweet (the US President also being intent on avoiding a stock market collapse).
Amidst all this, and to continue on the subject of geopolitics, the G7 meeting proved positive, mainly in that there was no (public) quarrelling. It also saw some smooth manoeuvring by French President Macron, whose stunt may have paved the way for US/Iran discussions.
Brexit, however, remains murkier than ever, with Boris Johnson's decision to suspend the UK Parliament widely seen as an act against democracy. A "no-deal" Brexit, a vote of no confidence triggering UK general elections, or the holding of a second referendum: nobody knows what will happen.
From an investment viewpoint, with uncertainty so rife, we can only reiterate to be very prudent. Prefere (asset backed) equities over long term bonds – to the extent that the former offer the possibility of protecting purchasing power whilst the latter, owing to spreading negative rates, involve a foreseeable loss of capital. As for gold, it remains our portfolio insurance: its price might stall somewhat after the hefty year-to-date gains, but we would be buyers on a pullback. Goldmines however have become expensive after their recent rally.
Gold Remains the Ultimate Hedge
(Source : Bloomberg)
Central bank buying (mostly in emerging markets) and surging investor inflows into gold ETFs have been the main drivers of the yellow metal's substantial appreciation this year.
Some central banks purchases involve maintaining their gold base as they ramp up the money printing press. Others have sought to boost their gold reserves because of mounting global uncertainties. The latter reasoning also holds for private investor flocking to gold ETFs, alongside the fact that the opportunity cost of holding gold has effectively disappeared in a world of negative rates. With the German Bund yielding -0.5%, what you pay for storage and management on gold ETFs is virtually equivalent to what you pay (no longer what you earn) for holding safe government paper.
From USD 1,282 /ounce at the onset of 2019, gold proceeded to gain ca. 10% and reach USD 1,410 by the end of June – breaking through the USD 1,350 resistance that had held for the past five years. This triggered additional speculative (aka hedge funds) buying via derivative contracts that now cover more than 35 million ounces (a historical high), many of which have a strike price of USD 1,500. As such, whenever the gold price trades above this level, speculators will be tempted to take profits.
This speculative buying then pushed the price of gold further upwards to USD 1,523 on August 15 (a year-to-date gain of nearly 20%) – after which the aforementioned profit taking began, resulting in a pullback towards the USD 1,500 level. Then another upswing towards USD 1,542 was triggered after China announced retaliative tariffs on 75 bln dollar worth of US imports on August 23, followed by an outburst of president Trump tweeting he would increase already existing import taxes on Chinese goods and impose the rest of Chines imports as well. Next to that he "ordered" American companies to leave China as soon as possible and to bring back their production to the US… Then again profit taking appeared (see graph).
Considering the 35 million ounces overhang, it is very unlikely that the price of gold can move much higher in the short term. On the contrary, if speculators lose their nerve and begin to sell in earnest, a sharp correction (towards USD 1,350) is not unrealistic. Particularly given that buying of bullion and jewellery by Chinese and Indian private investors (the major purchasers of physical gold) has virtually come to a standstill at the current price level – further heightened by local currency depreciation.
That said, it is only really the speculators that are liable to exit gold. Chinese and Indian private investors rarely sell their holdings (gold being a form of savings for them), central banks should remain buyers and inflows into ETFs will likely continue – with accommodative monetary policies here to stay and little sign of geopolitical abatement. We thus retain a fundamentally positive long-term view on gold and would take advantage of a correction to add to positions. Note, however, that this constructive outlook does not extend to gold mining companies, whose valuations now appear quite high in our eyes.

Q: Android map crashes with null point exception I am new to Android development. I'm trying to make an app that lists a number of ads for various things. When a person taps on one of the items a second layout opens that contains a map and information on that item:

I get the list and info by reading a json I dynamically generate via a php script (no issues here). I also get the address for the item from the json and I try to geocode the location from that. I generate the first layout without errors but when I try to get to the second layout the app crashes with what appears to be a null point exception from maps. The app works without the map element.
Here is some code:
From main activity:
@Override
    protected void onPostExecute(final List<AdModels> s) {
        super.onPostExecute(s);
        dialog.dismiss();
        if(s != null) {
            AdAdapter adapter = new AdAdapter(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.row, s);
            lvAds.setAdapter(adapter);
            lvAds.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                    AdModels admodel = s.get(position);
                    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MapsActivity.class);
                    intent.putExtra("adInfo", new Gson().toJson(admodel));
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            });
        } else {

I have been looking at this for days. Why is the app crashing? Note, I only run this on the emulator and I have the correct google API keys for this package.
(Edit: added error log)

A: Change the xml file code as :
<fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        tools:context="dk.forsoegsperson.fp.MapsActivity"/>

I changed MapFragment to SupportMapFragment class

Q: trace embedding in fractional sobolev space I asked about the compact trace embedding (trace embedding). In the answer, embeddings are used to answer my question as follows:
For $N \ge 3,$

*

*trace map $W^{1,2}(\Omega) \to W^{1/2,2}(\partial \Omega)$ is bounded,

*inclusion $W^{1/2,2}(\partial \Omega) \to L^1(\partial \Omega)$ is compact,

*inclusion $W^{1/2,2}(\partial \Omega) \to L^{q^*}(\partial \Omega)$ with $q^* = \frac{2(N-1)}{N-2}$ is bounded.

By interpolation, the inclusion $W^{1/2,2}(\partial \Omega) \to L^{q}(\partial \Omega)$ is compact for all $q \in [1,q^*)$, and the claim follows.
The only modification needed in the case $N=2$ is that this time $W^{1/2,2}(\partial \Omega) \to L^{q}(\partial \Omega)$ is bounded for all $q<q^*=\infty$, but not for $q=q^*$. This is because the Sobolev embedding doesn't work if $\textrm{order of derivatives} \times \textrm{exponent} = \textrm{dimension}$. The claim follows in the same fashion.
He/she said "If you need a reference, you can find these embeddings in Hitchhiker's guide to the fractional Sobolev spaces(https://arxiv.org/abs/1104.4345)."
However, I couldn't find the above embeddings in [https://arxiv.org/abs/1104.4345] exactly. Are there anything I miss? If so, would you explain it in detail? I would be grateful for any comment about it or my original question (trace embedding)

A: I will answer your original question. By density you can assume that $u$ is regular and that $\Omega$ is a rectangle, say, $(a,b)\times (c,d)$. By the fundamental theorem of calculus and Holder's inequality
$$|u(x,c)|^r\le |u(x,y)|^r+\int_c^y r|u(x,s)|^{r-1}|\partial_yu(x,s)|\,ds.$$
Integrating in $x$ you get
$$\int_a^b|u(x,c)|^rdx\le \int_a^b|u(x,y)|^rdx+\int_a^b\int_c^y r|u(x,s)|^{r-1}|\partial_yu(x,s)|\,dsdx.$$
Integrating in $y$ over $(c,c+\varepsilon)$ gives
$$\varepsilon\int_a^b|u(x,c)|^rdx\le \int_c^{c+\varepsilon}\int_a^b|u(x,y)|^rdxdy+\varepsilon\int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} r|u(x,s)|^{r-1}|\partial_yu(x,s)|\,dsdx.$$
By Holder's inequality you get
$$\varepsilon\int_a^b|u(x,c)|^rdx\le \int_c^{c+\varepsilon}\int_a^b|u(x,y)|^rdxdy+r\varepsilon\left(\int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} |u(x,s)|^{2(r-1)}dsdx\right)^{1/2}\left(\int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} |\partial_y u(x,s)|^2dsdx\right)^{1/2}
$$
If $r=1$ you get
$$\int_a^b|u(x,c)|\,dx\le\frac1\varepsilon \int_c^{c+\varepsilon}\int_a^b|u(x,y)|\,dxdy+((b-a)\varepsilon )^{1/2}\left(\int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} |\partial_y u(x,s)|^2dsdx\right)^{1/2}.
$$
This inequality gives you compactness of $W^{1,2}(\Omega) \hookrightarrow L^{1}(\partial \Omega)$. Indeed, if you have a bounded sequence in $W^{1,2}(\Omega)$, then by Rellich-Kondrachov compactness, a subsequence $\{u_n\}$ will converge to some function $u$ in $L^2(\Omega)$ and so
$$\int_a^b|(u_n-u)(x,c)|\,dx\le\frac1\varepsilon \int_c^{c+\varepsilon}\int_a^b|(u_n-u)(x,y)|\,dxdy+((b-a)\varepsilon )^{1/2}C.
$$
Letting $n\to \infty$ gives
$$\limsup_n\int_a^b|(u_n-u)(x,c)|\,dx\le ((b-a)\varepsilon )^{1/2}C.
$$
and now you let $\varepsilon\to 0$ to conclude that
$$\lim_n\int_a^b|(u_n-u)(x,c)|\,dx=0.$$
If $r>1$ you get
$$ \varepsilon\int_a^b|u(x,c)|^rdx\le\int_c^{c+\varepsilon}\int_a^b|u(x,y)|^rdxdy+r\varepsilon\left(\int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} |u(x,s)|^{2(r-1)}dsdx\right)^{1/2}\left(\int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} |\partial_y u(x,s)|^2dsdx\right)^{1/2}
\\\le \int_c^{c+\varepsilon}\int_a^b|u(x,y)|^rdxdy+r\varepsilon \int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} |u(x,s)|^{2(r-1)}dsdx+r\varepsilon \int_a^b\int_c^{c+\varepsilon} |\partial_y u(x,s)|^2dsdx.
$$
Since $N=2$ you have that $W^{1,2}(\Omega)$ is contained in $L^q(\Omega)$ for every $q<\infty$. Hence, the previous inequality says that  $W^{1,2}(\Omega) \hookrightarrow L^{r}(\partial \Omega)$ for every $r$. Since for $r=1$ you have compactness, you get compactness for every $r$ by interpolation.
The general case follows by flattening the boundary locally and using a partition of unity.

Q: Is it posible to define Process-Definition Constant? I want to know if there is a way to define constants in a process definition in design time (not process instance). I'm implementing a custom frontend application that lists all process definitions that exist in a container.  And I need a way to know the URL of the associated form that launches the page in the frontend, so I can capture all the required information in this custom form and then create the process instance.  I want to get this information from a constant defined in the process definition.  Is this possible?

A: Within the offical JBPM docs you can find information about 'global variables'.
Globals are variables that are shared for all process instances of the same process definition.
To use them you need to define it within the Business Central first. Therfore simply add them in the properties window of your business process model:

You can read the global variable (e.g. on your script task) via: kcontext.getKnowledgeRuntime().getGlobal(name); or by simply access it directly by name like with all local variables: myglobal;
To set the initial value on design time you can use the project settings within Business Central:

You can change it while runtime via: kcontext.getKnowledgeRuntime().setGlobal(name, value);


Great Newsweek (remember that?) article from 1995 on all the ways the Internet is an overblown fad.
Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic.
Baloney. Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth is no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.
What's missing from this electronic wonderland? Human contact. Discount the fawning techno-burble about virtual communities. Computers and networks isolate us from one another. A network chat line is a limp substitute for meeting friends over coffee. No interactive multimedia display comes close to the excitement of a live concert. And who'd prefer cybersex to the real thing? While the Internet beckons brightly, seductively flashing an icon of knowledge-as-power, this nonplace lures us to surrender our time on earth. A poor substitute it is, this virtual reality where frustration is legion and where—in the holy names of Education and Progress—important aspects of human interactions are relentlessly devalued.

Saturday night, at a chilly Blue Hills Bank Pavilion, Sting heated up a capacity crowd with a sizzling two-hour show that touched on all stages of his career. And the love was evident, from both the audience and Sir Gordon Sumner himself...
Sting brought his "57th and 9th" tour to the shed at Tanglewood on Tuesday night, performing a two-hour, double-encore set of hits from both his work with The Police and his solo career. It was a chilly night in the Berkshires, but the veteran performer was comfortable under the lights, taking off his jacket the moment he set foot on stage to introduce the show with an acoustic rendition of "Heading South on the Great North Road," from the new album...

Баден-Баден 1981 — международный шахматный турнир, проходивший с 7 по 23 июля 1981 года в Баден-Бадене.

В турнире участвовали 14 шахматистов из 9 стран. Многие участники турнира в разные годы участвовали в соревнованиях претендентов и межзональных турнирах. Победу в соревновании разделили гроссмейстеры Э. Майлс и З. Рибли, на очко опередившие В. Л. Корчного. На пол-очка от Корчного отстали еще 4 шахматиста.

Немецкий мастер Г. Бастиан выполнил норму балла международного мастера (две другие нормы он выполнил только спустя четверть века и звание получил в 2005 г.).
