Lawyer writes to CJI over "de-novo" selection procedure to empanel advocates in Delhi HC
A lawyer has written to Chief Justice of India N V Ramana alleging that the Delhi High Court has been conducting "de-novo" selection procedure by calling various persons for interview to empanel advocates as panel counsels to represent the Delhi government.
New Delhi, A lawyer has written to Chief Justice of India N V Ramana alleging that the Delhi High Court has been conducting "de-novo" selection procedure by calling various persons for interview to empanel advocates as panel counsels to represent the Delhi government. Advocate Amit Sahni also stated that the lists were finalised on the recommendations of the Selection Committee and were forwarded to the Delhi Lt Governor (L-G) for his approval.
The L-G gave his approval and the notification in respect of the appointment of Standing Counsel (Civil), Additional Standing Counsel (Civil) and Panel Counsel (Civil) was issued on March 4, he said.
Sahni said that he has come to know that the High Court of Delhi has been conducting "de-novo" (afresh) selection procedure by calling various persons for interview.
"It is submitted that the appointment of prosecutors in terms of section 24(1) CrPC is in 'consultation' with the high court and the high court cannot sit in the driver's seat of 'selection' of candidates by conducting the interviews and doing de-novo selection," he said.
"Interviews of candidate have been already conducted by the state government and only after following the due process the names of selected candidates have been forwarded to the high court for consultation," Sahni said in his letter.
The lawyer has requested that the CJI that the recommendations of the Selection Committee, Government of NCT of Delhi and approved by the L-G may be given effect to and the process of "de-novo" interview of candidates be recalled.

American Music Awards - All The Performances: Watch Here!
by Gwen Vasquez
— Oct 10, 2018
On Sunday, Swift provoked a storm by breaking her silence on politics and announcing she would vote for two Democrats in Tennessee in the US congressional midterm elections in November. "I just wanted to say I'm going to be opening up the American Music Awards with a performance", she wrote.

But not this time. Considering she's only 28 years old and it doesn't seem like she's planning on ending her music career anytime soon, it definitely seems possible that she could pull this one out! Bob Corker's seat. Swift, a Tennessee resident, also said she'd be voting for incumbent Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat. Her name is Claire and she's very pregnant. "As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I can not support Marsha Blackburn", she continued.
Carrie Underwood was in flawless form vocally, and Camila Cabello - who won new artist of the year - gave a touching and vocally impressive performance of the ballad Consequences, earning her a standing ovation. In the entire month of September, 190,178 people registered to vote.

Die mathematische Geographie (auch mathematische Erdkunde) beschäftigt sich mit Berechnungen oder Messungen auf der Erdoberfläche. Geodäsie, Kartografie und Navigation griffen ursprünglich auf ihre Methoden zurück.

Der Begriff der mathematischen Geographie wurde vor allem im 19. und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts verwendet, während in der aktuellen Literatur der Begriff kaum mehr zu finden ist. Die behandelten Themen werden heute eher der Kartografie oder Geodäsie zugerechnet. Grundlegend für die mathematische Geographie ist das Geographische Koordinatensystem. Aus der Mathematik findet die Sphärische Geometrie, insbesondere die Sphärische Trigonometrie, Anwendung.

Berechnungen auf der idealisierten Erdoberfläche
Während die Geografie und Mathematische Kartografie die Berechnungen von Strecken, Winkeln und Flächen für kleine Maßstäbe und geringe Genauigkeiten auf der Kugel durchführt, werden die für großmaßstäbige Karten notwendigen Berechnungen auf dem Ellipsoid der Mathematischen Geodäsie zugeordnet.
Die folgenden Artikel zeigen die Berechnungen auf der Erdkugel auf.

Strecken:
 Orthodrome: kürzeste Strecke zwischen zwei Punkten auf der Erdoberfläche
 Loxodrome: kursgleiche Strecke zwischen zwei Punkten auf der Erdoberfläche
 Abweitung: Abstand der Meridiane entlang eines Breitenkreises

Winkel:
 Kurswinkel

Flächen:
 Fläche des Kugelzweiecks, das zwischen zwei Meridianen gebildet wird
 Fläche des Kugeldreiecks, das durch drei Punkte auf der Erdoberfläche definiert wird

Kartennetzentwürfe
Karten werden unter Anwendung entsprechender Abbildungsvorschriften erstellt. Der Bereich der Kartennetzentwurfslehre wird daher auch als Teilgebiet der Kartografie betrachtet. Er stellt die theoretischen Grundlagen für die Abbildung der Erdoberfläche auf eine Karte und beschäftigt sich mit den dabei auftretenden Verzerrungen und deren Minimierung. Für die verschiedenen Kartennetzentwürfe werden verschiedene Abbildungsvorschriften angewandt.

well...the results are in. For those who havent heard how the weapons did in their recent competition, here are the stats...
XM-8: 127 stoppages
SCAR Light: 226 stoppages
HK416: 233 stoppages
M4:882 stoppages
so...what are your thoughts on this one? you guys think the M4 should get the can?

What competition? Where is your source for these statistic's?
I think I have an idea of what your talking about but you should be more specific when you start a thread. Make sure to include your sources, try to work on your sentence structure and grammar. Not trying to pick on you but it's a little pet peeve of a lot of the board members, myself including.

30 seconds of Google. If you have the article, finding the source isn't that difficult.

I'm looking for the source, but in the meantime, I believe those numbers where posted before they realized that an extra coat of lubrication was needed . If I remember correctily the M4 number of stoppages was cut in half with a heavy lubrication during these tests.
Defense review is not generally hailed as the best information for matters of these nature.

Newer carbines outperform M4 in dust test
By Matthew Cox - Staff writer
Posted : Monday Dec 17, 2007 9:25:16 EST
The M4 carbine, the weapon soldiers depend on in combat, finished last in a recent "extreme dust test" to demonstrate the M4's reliability compared to three newer carbines.
Weapons officials at the Army Test and Evaluation Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., exposed Colt Defense LLC's M4, along with the Heckler & Koch XM8, FNH USA's Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle and the H&K 416 to sandstorm conditions from late September to late November, firing 6,000 rounds through each test weapon.
When the test was completed, ATEC officials found that the M4 performed "significantly worse" than the other three weapons, sources told Army Times.
Officials tested 10 each of the four carbine models, firing a total of 60,000 rounds per model. Here's how they ranked, according to the total number of times each model stopped firing:
• XM8: 127 stoppages.
• MK16 SCAR Light: 226 stoppages.
• 416: 233 stoppages.
• M4: 882 stoppages.
the results of the test were "a wake-up call," but Army officials continue to stand by the current carbine, said Brig. Gen. Mark Brown, commander of Program Executive Office Soldier, the command that is responsible for equipping soldiers.
"We take the results of this test with a great deal of interest and seriousness," Brown said, expressing his determination to outfit soldiers with the best equipment possible.
The test results did not sway the Army's faith in the M4, he said.
"Everybody in the Army has high confidence in this weapon," Brown said.
Lighter and more compact than the M16 rifle, the M4 is more effective for the close confines of urban combat. The Army began fielding the M4 in the mid-1990s.
Army weapons officials agreed to perform the test at the request of Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., in July. Coburn took up the issue following a Feb. 26 Army Times report on moves by elite Army combat forces to ditch the M4 in favor of carbines they consider more reliable. Coburn is questioning the Army's plans to spend $375 million to purchase M4s through fiscal 2009.
Coburn raised concerns over the M4's "long-standing reliability" problems in an April 12 letter and asked if the Army had considered newer, possibly better weapons available on the commercial market.
John Hart, a spokesman for Coburn, who was traveling, said the senator was reviewing the test results and had yet to discuss it with the Army.
The M4, like its predecessor, the M16, uses a gas tube system, which relies on the gas created when a bullet is fired to cycle the weapon. Some weapons experts maintain the M4's system of blowing gas directly into the firing mechanism of the weapon spews carbon residue that can lead to fouling and heat that dries up lubrication, causing excessive wear on parts.
The other contenders in the dust test — the XM8, SCAR and 416 — use a piston-style operating system, which relies on a gas-driven piston rod to cycle the weapon during firing. The gas is vented without funneling through the firing mechanism.
The Army's Delta Force replaced its M4s with the H&K 416 in 2004 after tests revealed that the piston operating system significantly reduces malfunctions while increasing the life of parts. The elite unit collaborated with the German arms maker to develop the new carbine.
U.S. Special Operations Command has also revised its small-arms requirements. In November 2004, SOCom awarded a developmental contract to FN Herstal to develop its new SCAR to replace its weapons from the M16 family.
And from 2002 to 2005, the Army developed the XM8 as a replacement for the Army's M16 family. The program led to infighting within the service's weapons community and eventually died after failing to win approval at the Defense Department level.
How they were tested
The recent Aberdeen dust test used 10 sample models of each weapon. Before going into the dust chamber, testers applied a heavy coat of lubrication to each weapon. Each weapon's muzzle was capped and ejection port cover closed.
Testers exposed the weapons to a heavy dust environment for 30 minutes before firing 120 rounds from each.
The weapons were then put back in the dust chamber for another 30 minutes and fired another 120 rounds. This sequence was repeated until each weapon had fired 600 rounds.
Testers then wiped down each weapon and applied another heavy application of lubrication.
The weapons were put back through the same sequence of 30 minutes in the dust chamber followed by firing 120 rounds from each weapon until another 600 rounds were fired.
Testers then thoroughly cleaned each weapon, re-lubricated each, and began the dusting and fire sequencing again.
This process was repeated until testers fired 6,000 rounds through each weapon.
The dust test exposed the weapons to the same extreme dust and sand conditions that Army weapons officials subjected the M4 and M16 to during a "systems assessment" at Aberdeen last year and again this summer. The results of the second round of ATEC tests showed that the performance of the M4s dramatically improved when testers increased the amount of lubrication used.
Out of the 60,000 rounds fired in the tests earlier in the summer, the 10 M4s tested had 307 stoppages, test results show, far fewer than the 882 in the most recent test.
in the recent tests, the M4 suffered 643 weapon-related stoppages, such as failure to eject or failure to extract fired casings, and 239 magazine-related stoppages.
Colt officials had not seen the test report and would not comment for this story, said James Battaglini, executive vice president for Colt Defense LLC, on Dec. 14.
Army officials are concerned about the gap between the two tests becaus the "test conditions for test two and three were ostensibly the same," Brown said.
There were, however, minor differences in the two tests because they were conducted at different times of the year with different test officials, Brown said. Test community officials are analyzing the data to try to explain why the M4 performed worse during this test.
Weapons officials pointed out that these tests were conducted in extreme conditions that did not address "reliability in typical operational conditions," the test report states.
Despite the last-place showing, Army officials say there is no movement toward replacing the M4.
The Army wants its next soldier weapon to be a true leap ahead, rather than a series of small improvements, Brown said.
"That is what the intent is," he said, "to give our soldiers the very best and we are not going to rest until we do that."
Col. Robert Radcliffe, head of the Directorate of Combat Developments for the Infantry Center at Fort Benning, Ga., said the test results will be considered as the Army continues to search for ways to improve soldier weapons.
For now, he said the Army will stick with the M4, because soldier surveys from Iraq and Afghanistan continue to highlight the weapon's popularity among troops in the combat zone.
"The M4 is performing for them in combat, and it does what they needed to do in combat," Radcliffe said.

Thanks guys. ;) I think I read the same articles when I googled it.

in answer to the original question - yes. shit-can the M4 for the 416 or even the SCAR. but i feel likethe M4 is old, semi-reliable technology that can be improved on. while there's no substitute for good weapons maintenance, I shouldn't have to break down and clean my weapon after every firefight. that's asinine.
Was the XM8 at some point considered to be adapted as the new standard rifle for the US Military? If this is correct, whats the status on that?
Operator said:
It was at one point, yes. The program was stopped for whatever reason.
Boondocksaint375 said:
Theres was, "Was" bein the operative word, a ground breaking for the new H&K XM8 rifle plant in Augusta, Georgia near the "Home of the Infantry" Ft. Benning. This was like three agos but the land stills sports a sign with no other ground breaking having taken place since that day. This was told to me by a firearms and suppressor manufacturer close to the situation.
The XM8 is nothing more than a G36 with some "outer space" looking furniture.
I don't claim to have any understanding of the politics, protocol, testing and final procurement of new weapons systems thought out the Armed Forces of the United States, but it seems to me that nobody want's to actually adopt a new weapons system when their head my be on the chopping block is the weapon systems proves unreliable and or that influences, mush like congress spending, have alway's come into play.
If they want eliminat magazine failures why not give the Mag Pul PMAG's a fair shot at their reliability. Much cheaper than awarding a billion dollar contract for an entire weapon systems that has a new learning curve too steep for most NG's units and other units not supported with funding and range opporunities to use new lubrication standards and new mags and possibly a small stronger extractor spring into everyones bolt carrier and assembly.

The Artemis Collection is inspired by nature. (DeBeers Forevermark)
By Pooja Singh
It has been over two decades since Odisha designer Bibhu Mohapatra moved to the US, building an eponymous brand. Over the years, he has dressed the who's who of the film industry in India and abroad, from Priyanka Chopra to Gwyneth Paltrow and Hilary Swank. Former US first lady Michelle Obama wore a Bibhu dress during her 2015 India visit. For more than 10 years, Mohapatra has also been designing costumes for operas; the latest was in November, for the Washington National Opera's Come Home: A Celebration Of Return concert in honour of US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
His magic lies in creating garments that meld global sensibilities with Indian craft, be it in the form of designs like ikat or embroidery like filigree. So why doesn't he sell his clothes in India?

You can say that this collection is like the beginning of my way into India, says Bibhu Mohapatra (Courtesy Bibhu Mohapatra)
It's in the works, says Mohapatra, who was in Mumbai late last month for the launch of the Artemis Collection, his second collaboration with De Beers Forevermark. The diamond jewellery line, available online from 20 May, features layered necklaces, cocktail rings, pendant necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and cuffs—all inspired by nature. "You can say that this collection is like the beginning of my way into India," he explains in a video call.
Mohapatra speaks to Lounge about the jewellery collection, his plans to enter India and the power of storytelling. Edited excerpts:
Why nature as inspiration?
Because nature and women is where we all come from (smiles). The ultimate power lies in nature and women. To be honest, I started working on this collection before covid but my mission continues to be, do whatever you do, make it about women and nature. Simply because everything stems from there. We won't exist without these two, would we?
And look at the infinite sources of inspiration nature offers. All the 18 pieces tell 18 different stories.
What kind of stories?
I used one piece of flower to create something… lily, for example, to symbolise the beginning of something. They are all transitional pieces, which take you from day to evening. You can layer them, wear them with your traditional or Western outfits. You can wear them to work, to a cocktail party. I wanted these pieces to be so versatile that they become a part of your life. That was the thinking—I believe in evolution. No matter what we do, we always have to be ready to change. The problem is we often get married to a norm because we feel comfortable doing it in a fixed way. What we need to do more is stop, look and question things. How else will we grow?
Is your process different when you create for the stage?
Theatre allows me to have more fun, since I have to research depending on the era a production is set in. It's like food for the soul. Not that that's not the case with what I do for the fashion side of things. That's where the money comes from (smiles). Both these processes help me grow.
And when will Bibhu Mohapatra the brand come to India?
(Laughs) I am taking my time, but soon.
Several brands are now joining hands with companies. Would you be open to this?
I am open, yes. It's a good thing, you know, because then you can focus more on your craft rather than account books. It's something that has been happening in the West for a very long time, and there's nothing bad in it. I think Indian fashion will evolve far more now. I think it's a great time to be in the Indian market.
What's taking you so long?
I am taking it very seriously. The what, the how, the when of the India entry with my namesake brand. I don't want to do it like, "Oh, let's try this." I believe that if I want to bring my work here, I need to closely understand what the Indian consumer wants. It can't be like, "Oh, anything would work here." I have to understand what the audience is like now, what the young individual wants to wear to work or to parties and events. Tastes are changing every minute in today's globalised world.
There are also a lot of beautiful products coming out of India, so I need to be clear where I can contribute. The collection has to be designed for India, for the audience in India. The price has to be right. The design has to be right. The distribution, the quality, everything needs to be right. I don't want to leave anything to chance. Even with this jewellery collection, I followed the same strategy. We spent a lot of time planning it. I don't want to just create for the heck of it and then do PR events, talk and forget. It has be a deeper commitment to offer consumers something that's aspirational but also accessible. It's luxury without exclusivity.
So you are trying to make luxury more accessible?
Yes, I am trying to change the definition of luxury. Traditionally, luxury is like (points towards a pen at his desk), "Oh I like this pen, so I can have it." This instant gratification concept needs to change. I am training myself and my audience to respect what goes into the product they like. I want them to know what is the source of that particular piece. Like the beautiful blue scarf you are wearing. Who made it? Who were the artisans, the weavers, the ones who did the embroidery on it? Who did the job of delivering it to you? What is its real legacy? To me, that's where luxury lies. We already know this but I think it needs to be repeated more often: India is home to many crafts, some of which have been lost, and there are people trying to revive them and popularise what's fading away. When we talk about luxury, we also talk about craft.
And if you don't start with the people at the grass-roots who are behind that craft, then you could be talking until the cows come home, it would mean nothing. So that's what I am doing, unlearning and relearning. I don't think we have to be in the luxury space just by making the supply very scarce and stuff expensive. I am also an economist, so I understand what drives these things. But luxury is not about the prices; it's really about what goes into a product, the stories it tells. For example, each of the pieces in this jewellery collection states who found the particular stone, its design aspect…. It's our responsibility as creators, and the people who are going to be selling it, to tell the right story and retrain the audience that they should not discount the values behind that piece of luxury they are eyeing.

Q: Get Original object before update in hibernate's entity listeners I am trying to implement an entitylistener that compares the original and the updated object in the @PreUpdate event. I tried to use the Jpa Repository to query the original object by Id from DB to compare it with the object received in the event. But it retrieves the same object (i guess it returns the object present in the session scope).
Is there a way to get the original object from the database in the entity listener?

A: JPA does not provide the old and new state in the EntityListener.
But you can use Hibernates interceptors:
public static class LoggingInterceptor extends EmptyInterceptor {
    @Override
    public boolean onFlushDirty(
        Object entity,
        Serializable id,
        Object[] currentState,
        Object[] previousState,
        String[] propertyNames,
        Type[] types) {
            LOGGER.debugv( "Entity {0}#{1} changed from {2} to {3}",
                entity.getClass().getSimpleName(),
                id,
                Arrays.toString( previousState ),
                Arrays.toString( currentState )
            );
            return super.onFlushDirty( entity, id, currentState,
                previousState, propertyNames, types
        );
    }
}

In this example you see that you the the current and the previous state as arrays that can be easily compared.

At Future Foundation, we consider ourselves to be a second family; not just in the way that we interact with each other, but also in the way that we serve our students and families. But what does it actually mean to be a "second family"?
We're not out to replace the student's family, but instead to fill in the gaps, provide stable, nurturing relationships and opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be available to support and guide young people and their families by connecting them to critical learning resources; tutoring and mentoring in a safe, nurturing after-school environment.
Isabel Woods (Banneker High School's 2017 Valedictorian) is just one example of the thousands of students that have thrived in Future Foundation's program over the years. Starting as a sophomore at Banneker – the only Fulton County high school with a nursing pathway – she overcame the challenge of switching schools from her previous home in Saginaw, Michigan.
We highlight Isabel today, as her story of resilience is not much different than that of many youth served by Future Foundation. So, when it was discovered the day before Isabel's graduation that she did not have a dress to wear and that no one from her family could attend her graduation, our staff jumped into action! We were able to coordinate buying Isabel a graduation dress; treating her to her very first mani / pedi and getting her hair styled for her big day. And of course, on graduation day we were right there cheering her on!
The impact on business in America has been undeniable with innovations from companies such as Uber, Netflix and Air B&B, but what makes the staff at Future Foundation truly excited, is thinking about what impact disruptive thinking can have on the non-profit world. What opportunities we have to create a ripple that affects another person's life for the better.
How that ripple can inspire another, and another and another until it becomes a wave—a tide of energy creating change. Making the world a better place.
The Future Foundation all started as just a glimmer of an idea that, maybe, we could give something back to the communities that needed it most. Soon this idea became a commitment; we started to see our vision as a real possibility.
Then the first generation of 15 kids from our very first cohort in 2004 graduate. They go on to earn their Associates, then their Bachelors degrees. Get accepted into the National Honor Society. One comes back for Career Day and talks about the business she started.
Shawanda Edwards (shown below) is one of those kids. A native of East Point, GA , she started with Future Foundation in the 5th grade. A first-generation college graduate, she has gone on to earn her Associates from Atlanta Metropolitan College and is on track to graduate from Georgia State University with a Bachelors degree in Social Work. Shawanda is on the Dean's List at GSU and was recently accepted into The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS).
She continues to play an integral role as a member of our second family by speaking at Future Foundation events and mentoring other youth currently enrolled in our program.
And that's the opportunity. One ripple builds on another. That's how extraordinary change happens. Being part of something—a second family—what does that do for the world?
Check Out What Future Foundation's Been Up To!
Through LOVE, LEARNING and LEADERSHIP we at Future Foundation have been able to engage business leaders, government and volunteers to rally behind our work and affect change in our most vulnerable communities. Check out what we've been up to!
Two master barbers from Trinity Barbershop in College Park, GA came by our Future Foundation teen center and volunteered their services to our summer camp students. The results were astounding!!! Kudos to our Future Foundation staff, Xavier Alexander (program aide) for coordinating this awesome endeavor.
Ask questions, and build relationships despite distance and place.
Guarantees a young person receives the support and investment he/she needs to be successful after high school.
In April, Our Banneker High School kids took a field trip to the Urban Feed Store in Historic College Park, GA. The students utilized the etiquette information they learned from a previous workshop that taught them essential codes of conduct for social behavior. The owner, Ms. McQueen, conducted a Q&A session, discussed how she became an entrepreneur and highlighted her career path. She stressed the importance of a college education and the challenges she faced along her academic journey.
The restaurant customized our menus and provided exceptional service. It was an awesome learning experience and opportunity for all 21 Banneker High School students who attended.
As students walked through the doors of Future Foundation for their last day of Summer programming, there was both a sense of relief and dismay. They had worked hard all Summer building drones, designing apps, developing math and reading skills and receiving college and career prep courses. This moment was bittersweet; students who were once strangers had become friends, and now had to wish each other farewell (at least for now).
The new school year was just weeks away and the staff at Future Foundation wanted to ensure that each youth had a great kick-off to the new semester. What better way to do this than a superhero-themed cookout? This end of Summer party theme was chosen by the staff to help students discover their own "superpowers".
The program curriculum was modified for the day to teach students how to use their superpowers to take on the school year just like their favorite superheroes would. Each child designed their own superhero cape, enjoyed some great barbecue and ended the afternoon in with a dance celebration in honor of all that was accomplished and all that there is still left to achieve.
The Future Foundation is proud to announce that Kelly Walton has joined our organization as Chief Operating Officer. Kelly comes to us from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, where she served for three years as the Senior Director of Higher Education Partnerships. Her major responsibilities consisted of establishing the inaugural Higher Education Partnerships division and leading global efforts to develop a college-going culture for over 4 million Club youth.
Kelly also has extensive consulting experience working with various organizations in the education arena. Most recently, she worked with MDRC, as a site liaison consultant on the national evaluation of the Diplomas Now Model. Additionally, she served in various leadership positions within the secondary division for a school district in metro Atlanta.
Her strong organizational skills and attention to detail are a reflection of her unwavering commitment to serving youth through education.
Rhonda Howard joins Future Foundation as it's new Chief Financial Officer. Her experience with government grant billing, coupled with excellent knowledge of preparing financial statements, budget reports, and managing staff makes her a perfect fit for the role.
Rhonda's strong analytical skills and dedication will no doubt be an asset to our organization as we continue to grow and expand. Her goals are to help the Future Foundation simplify our accounting process, develop and implement effective channels that can put reduce expenses and stimulate income.

Q: Cascaded Op Amp Problem I have seen an op amp problem and I made a representation of it in LTspice.

Attention! Vout is not grounded, I had made a mistake. Sorry for this.
The problem wants us to find Vout. To solve it, I used KCL and Nodal Analysis. Here is my solution:

I feel like something is wrong or missing. Is my result correct? How can I solve it with another way?
Note: Please do not care model name of the op amps.

A: Assuming that \$V_x \$ and \$V_{out}\$ aren't grounded (that would be weird for a problem like this) your solution is correct. Assuming ideal op amps: -
The gain of the first amplifier is \$A_{v1}=-\frac{5\Omega}{10\Omega} = -\frac{1}{2} \: \frac{\text{V}}{\text{V}} \$
The gain of the second amplifier is \$A_{v2} =-\frac{2\text{k}\Omega}{1\text{k}\Omega} =-2 \: \frac{\text{V}}{\text{V}}\$
So the total gain is \$A_{v,\text{total}} = A_{v1}A_{v2}=1 \Rightarrow V_o=V_{in}A_{v,\text{total}}=2\text{V}\$

American Meg Mallon, who has been selected to enter the World Golf Hall of Fame next year, has a distinctive Canadian connection having won the Canadian Women's Open on two occasions including the 2004 event on the Doug Carrick designed Battlefield course at Legends on the Niagara. Mallon will join 2016 Ryder Cup Captain Davis Love III, 1991 Masters Champion Ian Woosnam, and former world number one Lorena Ochoa of Mexico, all of whom will be formally inducted next September along with the late golf writer and BBC commentator Henry Longhurst.
Mallon, 53, who became a member of the LPGA Tour in 1987, won 18 LPGA Tour events, including four major championships. She won three times in 2004 including her second U.S. Women's Open. Her win at Legends on the Niagara that year was her second Canadian Women's Open title, a 4-shot victory over Beth Daniel with scores of 65, 70, 65, 70 for an 18-under-par total of 280.
Mallon's first win on Canadian soil came at the 2000 du Maurier Classic at Royal Ottawa, once considered one of the four LPGA majors until the ban on tobacco sponsorship caused its near-cancellation. Mallon was one of a parade of LPGA stars who lobbied hard to find a new sponsor and in 2001 the Bank of Montréal made a five-year commitment to the tournament, renaming it the BMO Canadian Women's Open. With a purse of $2.25 million USD, the championship is today known as the CP Canadian Women's Open.
The 2004 Canadian Women's Open was the first major competition played at Legends on the Niagara, which officially opened in June 2002. Tournament director Sean Van Kesteren of Golf Canada, organizers of the event which attracted 41,000 spectators, called the course selection a "no brainer". According to Van Kesteren, "We knew Legends had all the qualities we were looking for with superb conditioning and great greens. Everything logistically was perfect for an LPGA Tour event". Winner Meg Mallon agreed. "This was the best-conditioned golf course we've played all year," she said.
Over the years Legends on the Niagara has continued to host important national championships among them the 2014 Canadian Junior Boys Championship and two Canadian Women's Tour events including the 2014 affair won by a 16-year-old Canadian Brooke Henderson. Now an LPGA regular ranked among the top-5 players in the world. Henderson is on track to a Hall of Fame career of her own.
Norm Moote is the Head PGA Teaching Professional at the Legends Golf Academy. A protege of the late Canadian Golf Hall of Famer George Knudson, Norm is a member of the PGA of Canada and has been teaching full-time for more than 30 years.

Natural Selection: "It Isn't Just for Breakfast Anymore"
Peter Corning
A sea of change is currently underway in our understanding of the evolutionary process, including especially our way of defining the core concept of natural selection.
The individualistic, gene-centered model of natural selection and evolution has constricted and distorted our understanding of the many different sources of causation in the natural world.
It is like looking into a very large room through a very small keyhole. If we adopt a more inclusive model of natural selection, we will then be able to view the entire room.

Mike Preston's grades for the Ravens after a dominant win
By Mike Preston

Quarterback: Joe Flacco played his best game of the year. He was in command of the offense and actually ran some audibles. Most of his passes were tight and direct. He ran the no-huddle without many glitches and finished with a QB rating of 119.2. Grade: A-
Offensive line: Flacco got pressured several times but he had a lot of time to throw throughout the game. Ravens tackles Rick Wagner and Ronnie Stanley had very few problems with Miami end Cameron Wake, and tackle Ndamukong Suh wasn't a factor. It was a third straight strong performance by this group. Grade: A-
Running backs: The Dolphins came into the game with one of the worst run defenses in the league, so the Ravens were expected to run the ball. Instead, they attacked Miami with the pass. Halfbacks Terrance West and Ken Dixon were used sparingly, and most of their yards came late in the game. When they did carry the ball, they ran hard. They were also weapons as receivers. Grade: B
Receivers: After one game of virtually ignoring Steve Smith Sr. and Mike Wallace, Flacco got them involved early. Smith had six catches for 53 yards and Wallace finished with six catches for 59 yards. Tight Dennis Pitta also had a big game, catching nine passes and finishing with two touchdowns. It was the most complete game by this group all season. Grade: A-
Defensive line: Miami finished with 62 yards rushing on 12 carries. The Dolphins couldn't control the Ravens up front with Timmy Jernigan and Brandon Williams, and the Ravens also worked several other players into the rotation. By the end of the third quarter, Miami's offensive line seemed exhausted. Grade: A-
Linebackers: Zachary Orr led the team in tackles with 13 but he left a couple out on the field. Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil didn't have any sacks, but they put a lot of pressure on quarterback Ryan Tannehill after the Ravens got the big lead. Matthew Judon had one of the Ravens' two sacks. Grade: B+
Secondary: Cornerbacks Jimmy Smith and Tavon Young took away the deep ball from Miami, and they came up well in run support, along with fellow cornerback Jerraud Powers. Safety Lardarius Webb actually played a good center field. This was one of the better games by the secondary. Grade: A-
Special teams: Justin Tucker wasn't the hero this week, but he did convert on a 55-yard field goal. It wasn't a great day for punter Sam Koch, and returner Devin Hester still looks indecisive as far as whether to return a punt or not. The group still commits too many dumb penalties. Grade: B
Coaching: Head coach John Harbaugh gambled early on two fourth-down situations and won, but they were still bad choices. Harbaugh had the Ravens ready to play and the offense came out and remained aggressive for the entire game. As usual, defense turned in a strong effort. Grade: B+
