"[In skateboarding,] the ollie leads to everything else in the entire skateboard world," said Tiernan Moore in Episode 1 of the YouTube series Thumoslang102. "[The] ollie is the trick that gets you off the ground. You need it to do any other trick." If you want to do a kickflip, for example, you need to do an ollie followed by a kick to flip the board.
By the same token, there is a "trick" so fundamental that if you failed to master it, you would be stuck at the outer rim in your social world most of your life. If you don't know how to discharge the power of the said trick, you're vulnerable to making mistakes that may cost you relationships and opportunities. The trick is called respect; it's indispensable to almost everything else in the entire social world. For one, without respect, forget about love; love is impossible without any respect. Here is how it is defined by the 2017 book Thumos: Adulthood, Love & Collaboration.
Respect; that means, no interfering. [Thumbnail 1]
Respect is often used in everyday language as meaning to hold someone or something in high regard. However, respect is also used to mean no interfering in common vernacular. This leads to ambiguity, as someone in a relationship asking to be respected does not make it clear whether they wish to be more greatly admired or interfered with less. It is more practical to use the term admiration, when referring to high regard, and respect when referring to no interfering. The confusion might lie in the fact that an alternative to the concept of admiring is that of giving respect.
To American football fans, a pass interference is, according to Wikipedia, "a foul that occurs when a player interferes with an eligible receiver's ability to make a fair attempt to catch a forward pass". What took place in the above GIF1 is a perfect example of what interfering means: to prevent others from completing a task. In general, personal interference means you prevent the completion of what someone else is trying to accomplish. No wonder why the 2017 book defines it using the following thumbnail definition:
Interfering; that means, preventing completion. [Thumbnail 2]
Putting the above two thumbnail definitions together, respect comes into play when you prevent someone from achieving one or more of their ideals. When something is ideal, it is a perfect fit or in the condition you desire the most. An ideal is an experience fitting perfectly regardless of its duration.
Ideal; that means, perfect fit. [Thumbnail 3]
A person's ideals are what define their actions that have consequences to their life. Even if one may make up less than 1% of their ideal self, contribute to what they truly want to become. A midnight snack of junk food every weekend, for example, contributes to the overall health of an individual, even if that contribution is a minute part of the countless elements that make up how a person wants to live their life.
Your-ideal-self; that means, what you truly want to become. [Thumbnail 4]
Putting the above four thumbnails together, I'm said to be disrespecting you when I interfere with what you truly want to become, and preventing you from making a life considered ideal to you. To claim that the concept of disrespect is at play, you must demonstrate that completion of an experience could not be reached due to interference.
Respecting someone does not mean you must avoid preventing anything that person may try to do. For example, a person in a monogamous relationship is not being disrespected by their partner, who won't allow romantic and sexual relations outside of their relationship. While an action is being restricted, it is not preventing their completion because it is not standing in the way of an expressed ideal. An ideal cannot be respected unless it is explicitly expressed. Until you tell others "I want this" or "I don't want that", they cannot respect you because they don't know how to, or that they need to, do so. In the aforementioned example, it would be the adulterer who disrespects, as the ideal of "I don't want you to have romantic or sexual relations with people outside of our relationship" was expressed and agreed to at the start of the relationship.
When it comes to respecting the important people in your life, one of the worst mistakes to make in a relationship is assuming that others would make the same decision as yourself in a situation. For example, your regularly busy friend has a day off of their normal work duties, and tell you as much. As a result, you assume they would agree to spend that day with you, then take further actions as if that decision was already made by the other person, such as restaurant reservations. This is not disrespectful to the other person unless the further actions prevent the other from completing their task or project. But surely this is self-disrespect, as you prevent yourself from having a drama-free life.
A concept in Thumoslang that only a drama-free life can posses is called a deliberate family. At its essence, it is the group that consistently celebrates every member's personal ideals all the way along their journey in life; the closest people in your life helping you become your ideal self, while respecting you fully. You need to build a deliberate family because that is the fastest way to ensure that, for the rest of your life, your personal ideals are nurtured and protected by the same group of people. Otherwise, it would be near impossible or too tiring to explain all over again so one after another group understand fully what you truly want to become.

Match Less
Woody Allen's latest movie, Match Point, is good ' but it was great when it was Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Tragedy plus time no longer equals only comedy; it now begins to neatly sum up Woody Allen's career. His latest effort, Match Point, has been ballyhooed as the Wood-Man's return to form ' in truth, he's only returning to the very familiar form of his 1989 masterpiece Crimes and Misdemeanors.
It's beyond disappointing to see an original thinker wander a wasteland of mediocre ideas for years (Celebrity, Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Hollywood Ending) and then receive acclaim for simply warming over a couple of his more brilliant old ones without adding anything truly revelatory to the mix. Allen has long been fascinated by the interplay of love and death, luck and choice, action and consequence; his best movies have always been about the friction of those odd intersections. And he returns to them now, but not necessarily with fresh eyes or a maturing perspective. Twenty years ago, Match Point might have felt like the work of an interesting filmmaker; today, the movie makes us think that maybe Woody is a little tired and out of new ideas. Still, as there always are in Woody Allen movies, there are occasional visual and literary sparks of life in Match Point that make it more than just a miss.
Irish tennis pro Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) wants to be a self-made man. He toured on the professional circuit for a while, but left the life when he realized he was good, but not great. Now he teaches tennis to the blueblood members of one of London's finer clubs, reads Dostoevsky in his spare time and dreams of doing "something" with his life, really making a "contribution." He meets up with Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode), scion of a British business family and all-around charming chap. The two bond over a shared love of opera, and Wilton soon finds himself a regular at Hewett family get-togethers. He takes up with Tom's plain-Jane sister Chloe (Emily Mortimer), adjusting with preternatural cold fishiness to upper class ways. Until, that is, Tom's American actress fiancée Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson) enters the picture.
Nola is a mess. She's an actress only in the broadest sense of the word ' one commercial and a string of failed auditions are all she has to her credit. She drinks too much. Mother Hewett (Penelope Wilton) hates her and baits her at every opportunity. Despite his other entanglements, Wilton is attracted to her. (It is Scarlett Johansson, after all, and all men are allegedly attracted to Scarlett Johansson.) Perhaps it's a stirring seed of self-destruction. Perhaps it's that he realizes Chloe is good, but not great. Maybe he thinks that Nola is an awful lot like him: hungry, climbing and a little bit lost. Maybe he's just not thinking at all. But from this point on, Wilton begins to lead a double life, going through the motions of devotion to his new wife Chloe and the fortune she represents but burning for Nola and using his considerable talents to arrange stolen moments. Eventually, Nola's instability breaks the surface and threatens Wilton's hard-fought but precariously built life. It's time for a choice or, at least, a little bit of luck.
There has always been something fundamentally unlikeable about Meyers (Velvet Goldmine, Bend It Like Beckham), a coiled cruelty in the way he softly speaks his lines, a reptilian lassitude in his blank stare. It works for him in Match Point as never before. He makes Wilton one hero of an anti-hero ' we don't really like him, but somehow we want to see him succeed. Johansson is another story. She's like Keanu Reeves before he finally hit his stride in popcorn thrillers like The Devil's Advocate and The Matrix: wooden, uncomfortable with intellectually driven dialogue, and pretty but awkward. The immensely overrated actress (Lost in Translation) flounders, undercutting an interesting character with a shrill performance that never lets us forget who we're watching. In contrast, Goode and Mortimer stand out as the Hewett siblings, the two actors comfortably and unaffectedly walking through Allen's notions of noblesse oblige.
The biggest problem with Match Point is its philosophical debt to Crimes and Misdemeanors. When you've already made one full-length masterpiece of a movie examining the ideas of infidelity and self-preservation, do you really need to make a second one? And does that second one have to stretch to an interminable two hours and 40 minutes? The film goes on far too long and progresses far too slowly. In the final 30 minutes or so, Match Point finally kicks into high gear and hearkens back to Woody Allen at his best: darkly funny, suspenseful, nonjudgmental. But while those final few minutes are exhilarating, they are not innovative.
The singular shot of Match Point is the film's opener: a tennis ball smacks the tape and pops up into the air, hovering in a breathless moment. It's a wonderful metaphor for Allen's thematic obsessions; he wants to examine what happens when that ball is in the air and we must make our choices, guided by luck, morality, instinct, whatever. It's a visual cue he returns to later in the film with great success, and it almost all works. But if Match Point was meant to be a baseline winner, Woody clips the tape and the ball falls back into his own court, to the good-natured groans of the adoring crowd.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's 'Yashoda' to stream on Prime Video from Dec 9
Mumbai: Samantha Ruth Prabhu-starrer "Yashoda" will be available for streaming on Prime Video from December 9, the streamer announced on Tuesday.
In a press release, the Amazon streaming service said the Telugu movie will also be available to its subscribers with dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages.
Directed by filmmaker duo Hareesh Narayan and K Hari Shankar, the survival thriller featured Samantha in the titular role of Yashoda, a woman who agrees to join a surrogate program out of desperation to find her missing sister. Things start to go haywire when revelations about the high-end surrogate facility come to light.
The movie was released in theatres on November 11 to mixed reviews.
"When Yashoda was written, we knew that the audience would find this thrilling adventure worth watching. Samantha's performance and the incredible work done by the team has all paid off well. We are extremely thrilled with the response that the film has gotten across the country and cannot wait for the response of the global audience," Narayan said in a statement.
Shankar called "Yashoda" a rare masterpiece in the Indian sci-fi genre.
"Such stories from the south Indian film industry are doing wonders pan-India, and that in itself is a matter of great pride for the team. We are thankful to Prime Video for allowing us the global platform that this film deserves," he added.
"Yashoda" also stars Unni Mukundan, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, Sampath Raj and Murali Sharma.

He studied with Maestro Mario Pieraccini in Milan and made his debut in theaters in Legnano in Favorita by Donizetti, in the role of Fernando. In 1911 he sang Don Pasquale and Fedora at the Teatro Chiabrera in Savona, a work he also repeated in his home city of Pisa, along with Vicleffo Scamuzzi.
He was very active with the Opera in Rome, first with the Teatro Costanzi. He later performed Thomas's Mignon in 1916, The Barber of Seville by Rossini with De Hidalgo, La Boheme by Puccini in 1918 and in the work of Il Dibuk di L. Rocca in 1935.
He sang leading roles in numerous theaters in Italy, including the Teatro Petruzzelli of Bari, performing La traviata, Werther, and La Boheme, Teatro di Verona Philharmonic and at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Teatro Comunale Modena, Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, Teatro Comunale di Adria, Teatro Regio di Parma, Teatro Morlacchi in Perugia, Teatro Sociale di Trento, and Teatro Massimo in Palermo. Bergamini also sang in a tour abroad in Brazil in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), at the Teatro Colysee of Buenos Aires, and at the Teatro Solis in Montevideo in 1914.
In the last years of his career he took part at the Teatro Reale dell'Opera di Roma, along with Tito Schipa, Licia Albanese and Gianna Pederzini, conducted by Tullio Serafin, and sang the role of Nereus in Boito's Mefistofele, along with Ezio Pinza, Giovanni Malipiero and Pia Tassinari in 1936.
He finished his work around 1948, at the Tower Theater in Genoa.

Parcul Natural Alvão (în ) este o arie protejată fondată în 1983 și situată în municipalitățile  și Vila Real, în subregiunile Tâmega și Douro din nordul Portugaliei. Deși este cel mai mic dintre parcurile naturale din Portugalia, acesta se întinde pe 72,2 de kilometri pătrați de teren montan, fiind populat de aproximativ 700 de localnici.

Istoric
Parcul a fost creat pe data de 8 iunie 1983 în temeiul decretului-lege 237/83 ca parc natural clasificat.

Pentru a sprijini conservarea naturii, o rezoluție a Consiliului de Miniștri (142/97), din 28 august 1997, a integrat Alvão într-o zonă mai largă de clasificare în conformitate cu denumirea Uniunii Europene Natura 2000: Sítio Alvão-Marão como (Sítio TCON0003 - Alvão-Marão). În cadrul acestei decizii au fost incluse directive comunitare, precum cele pentru speciile de păsări (79/409/CEE, 2 aprilie) și habitate (92/43/CEE, 21 mai), pentru a contribui la conservarea habitatelor și speciilor de floră și faună considerate amenințate în Uniunea Europeană.

Geografie

Parcul este situat în provinciile Trás-os-Montes și Alto Douro, în districtul Vila Real, împărțit între municipalitățile Vila Real (parohiile Borbela, Lamas de Olo și Vila Marim) și  (parohiile Ermelo și Bilhó). Ocupă o suprafață de 72,2 de kilometri pătrați.

Cel mai înalt vârf din parcul natural este Caravelas, care măsoară 1.339 de metri deasupra nivelului mării, iar cel mai de jos punct este Lousa, de-a lungul râului Olo, la aproximativ 260 de metri deasupra nivelului mării. Există astfel o diferență altitudinală de 1.079 m, iar parcul este împărțit în două zone: o zonă înaltă de-a lungul bazinului hidrografic Rio Olo, care corespunde în cea mai mare parte parohiei Lamas de Olo, și o zonă joasă, care include Ribeira de Fervença și bazinul hidrografic Olo din parohia Ermelo. Tranziția dintre cele două este marcată de o scădere bruscă asociată cu cascada Fisgas.

Geografie fizică

La fel ca o mare parte a regiunii Transmontana, PNAL este situat în Maciço Antigo (Masivul Antic), în subregiunea Galiza-Trás-os-Montes, o unitate geomorfologică de rocă magmatică și metamorfă formată din mișcările hercinotipice care orientează primele grupuri de-a lungul unei axe nord-est - sud-vest. Însoțind aceste mișcări au fost mari expansiuni de magmă granitică și eroziune secundară prelungită, rezultând în stânci sedimentare și lanțuri montane neaccentuate. O fază terțiară, în zonele ridicate, a dus la fracturi pe axa dominantă nord-est - sud-vest, rezultând într-o variație a reliefului cauzată de rezistența diferită a rocii.

Zona este caracterizată de o regiune geologică dihotomică, împărțită după tipurile de roci de șist și granit.

Zona superioară este dominată de formațiuni de granit recente rezultate din mișcări hercinotipice profunde, post-tectonice, crustale, cum este granitul din jurul Lamas de Olo. Această piatră este în mod obișnuit un granit aspru, biotitic, porfiric, dar există buzunare de granodiorit mediu, alb, igneu și mediu până la fin, care domină parohia Vila Marim, marcată de caos granítico (haos granitic). În nord sunt formațiuni geologice tipice reprezentative pentru PNAL, Maciço Compósito (Masivul compozit) din Vila Real, care include cea mai mare parte a masivului care se întinde de la Freixo de Espada à Cinta până la Serra da Cabreira. Acestea fac parte din mișcările hercinotipice mezo-crustale. Roca sin-tectonică F3, marcată de petice de mică (de la mediu la mare) cu megacristale rare, petice de mică fină și petice de granit porfiric și mică (de la mediu la mare). În vest se află caos granítico care aparține Cambrianului mediu și superior. Formação de Desejosa (Formațiunea Desejosa), asociată cu Douro, este constituită dintr-un grup de filit alternativ gri și negru, cu niveluri de roci sedimentare. Există, de asemenea, o falie andaluzită la vârful Caravelas, în zona Muas și cascada Moinho de Galegos da Serra.

Zona bazală este dominată de o formațiune sedimentară paleozoică. Formação de Santos (Formațiunea Santos) cu filit alternat cu șisturi gri evoluează în filit și alte roci sedimentare din Devonianul timpuriu, iar Formação de Campanhó (Formațiunea Camponhó) cuprinde șisturi de carbon, cu niveluri abundente de șist sedimentar din Silurianul târziu. Formação de Pardelhas (Formațiunea Pardelhas) aparține Ordovicianului de mijloc și este format din ardezie, șisturi grafitico-filitice, șisturi keratolitice, filit gri. Această formațiune este asociată cu o tranziție între litologiile opuse (zonele superioare și bazale), producând o geomorfologie unică a unui peisaj înalt și o geologie de interes. Cascadele de-a lungul râului Olo, printre care Fisgas de Ermelo, s-au format într-o zonă de cuarțit armorican, aparținând Lanvirniano-arenigianului din Ordovicianul timpuriu, compusă din cuarțit, sedimente și filit amestecat cu niveluri de fier, cuarțit impur, filite gri-negre și cuarțit fin, în terase deschise orientate spre sud-vest, de-a lungul râului. De la o înălțime de 800 de metri, râul coboară de-a lungul diferitelor cascade la 250 de metri înălțime, de-a lungul unui curs de 1.500 de metri. Aparținând geologiei perioadei Venloquian-Landeilian, apare o unitate de argilă minerală și corneene carbonoase în partea superioară a Lamas de Olo și Alvadia. Zona Lamas este, de asemenea, acoperită de mici depozite aluvionare și petice asemănătoare argilei de-a lungul văii, caracteristice albiilor râurilor care se alătură grabenului din Tãmega și Vale da Campeã.

Climat
Parcul are un climat temperat atlantic și caracteristici mediteraneene. Vârfurile râului Olo sunt influențate de mase de aer maritime care se ridică peste granița estică a parcului. Acest lucru duce la precipitații abundente în lunile de iarnă. Aceste luni sunt reci și ploioase, cu averse frecvente de zăpadă la altitudini mari, în timp ce vara este uscat și cald. Cele mai multe ploi apar în lunile mai reci, în timp ce în perioadele uscate sunt precipitații reduse sau concentrate într-o lună. Variația în pantă permite un microclimat divers, cu vegetație diferită între altitudini mari și mici. Combinația dintre condițiile microclimatice și precipitațiile a dus la un peisaj luxuriant.

Biom

Stejarii domină majoritatea zonelor înalte, în special de-a lungul malurilor râului, împreună cu specii de alun comun (Corylus avellana), , castan și laur, formând păduri mixte care includ plante rare precum roua cerului (Drosera rotundifolia), o specie de plantă carnivoră găsită pe terenurile umede de-a lungul malului râului.

Râul Olo este bogat în păstrăv și este populat de vidra eurasiatică (Lutra lutra).

În toată regiunea, populațiile de păsări sunt diverse și includ cuiburi de acvile de munte. Populațiile de mamifere sunt marcate de prezența mistrețului (Sus scrofa), căprioare (Capreolus capreolus), viezure (Meles meles), iepure de Granada (Lepus granatensis) și iepure de vizuină (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Printre reptilele din zonă se numără șopârla de smarald iberică (Lacerta schreiberi) și vipera Latastei (Vipera latastei).

Geografie umană

Arhitectura tradițională a regiunii este un stil montan distinct, în special în Ermelo și Lamas de Olo, influențat de natura sociologică și artizanală a peisajului, sau în Fervença, influențat de necesitatea agrară de-a lungul unui peisaj terasat.

Cheap as anything for London. Gorgeous relaxed atmosphere in the chilled out cafe/bar/restaurant out front and equally calm and quiet at the rooms out back. The staff were helpful and happy and I was checked in and out quick as a flash. Coded doors everywhere made me and my possessions quite safe and everything was clean and fresh. The room was great, chipboard bunk beds, sturdy and wide and clean. Fresh sheets and towels, felt just like a hotel. Room needs a fan though, very warm. Great stay.
The room was clean, lot of privacy since the bunks are closed off at one side. There's a button on the door that ables you to not use the code. Door was almost always open, and roommates forgot to lock it. Staff was friendly.
Had a single room, was comfortable and clean. Opened onto busy road which meant it was noisy but otherwise was nice. Shared bathroom is unisex. Staff were lovely. Super close to Piccadilly line station. Lots of shops around.
Quite nice hostel, very close to the train from Heathrow, and very affordable. Women's dorm was quiet, clean and nicely private with walled bunk beds. Appreciate the USB charging ports. The front area is very hip and comfortable. Good wifi. AMAZING food, with good prices and high quality. Would definitely recommend eating at the hostel. Staff was a bit grouchy/slow, and the bar ran out of all the cocktails, so we did not get to try the amazing gin concoctions. Not so great for Gatwick travel.
Good place, but far away from city centre. Kind staff, beds were comfortable and the rooms were big.
I had an issue during my stay at the hostel that was management's fault. The staff handled it great, took responsibility, and issued me a refund. Overall, a great experience.
Edgy, stylish hostel that looks and feels like a fancy domestic B&Q (this is a complement). Great, friendly, mostly helpful staff. The only reasons I can't rate this higher are the price, which at £24 a night is highest I've ever paid for a hostel anywhere in the world, and the lack of a customer kitchen. There's a fridge and a microwave, but that's it.
The hostel was well located but I just wished it seemed a bit cleaner although the showers and beds appeared very clean. Secure rooms were also not always locked and some visitors used the emergency exits for through-fare.
Not many people staying so it was generally quiet but wasn't happy that the door to the female dormitory didn't shut properly so didn't feel very safe. The bunk beds were very roomy and comfortable, and I appreciated having individual lights and charging points. The facilities weren't great: two of the showers didn't seem to work well, there was no access to any type of kitchen, just a microwave and a fridge. The bin in the room wasn't emptied for a few days so started to overflow.

Governor Appoints Sheryl Chalupa as Chair of State Fund Board
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. has appointed Sheryl Chalupa as Chair of the State Compensation Insurance Fund Board of Directors effective immediately. Chalupa succeeds Larry Mulryan who has served on State Fund's Board since 2009 and as Chair for the past three years. Mulryan will remain a member of the Board and chair of the Governance Committee.
Chalupa was re-appointed to State Fund's Board by Governor Brown in 2014 and originally appointed in 2007. Since 2001, Chalupa has been President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of South Central California overseeing the non-profit corporation's work in Kern, King, and Southern Tulare counties. Prior to that Chalupa served as executive director of Girl Scouts-Joshua Tree Council between 1994 and 2001.
Today, State Fund insures more than 130,000 California businesses. In 2013, State Fund wrote over $1.1 billion dollars in premium, making it one of the largest workers' compensation insurers in the nation.
More than three years ago, State Fund's Board set the organization on a path to transform its operations by improving its transparency, accountability, efficiency, and productivity to ensure a stable and open workers' compensation insurance market.
In the past several years State Fund has:
Reduced annual operating costs by more than $450 million dollars, more than 25% since 2009
Declared $250M of policyholder dividends for the first time in a decade
5% of premium for the 2011 policy year
10% of premium for the 2012 and 2013 policy years
Implemented SB 863 reform
Developed and implemented a new pricing model that has improved the organization's ability to price accounts and serve more California employers
Streamlined workflows and launched new technology that improved both access to its prices and quote speed
Reduced portfolio of older claims by 33% through responsible settlements
"I am honored to serve as chair and appreciate the confidence Governor Brown has demonstrated in me and this organization," said Chalupa. "State Fund's Board is focused on building a competitive company with a resourceful, creative workforce that provides fair prices and excellent service, creates stability in the market, and delivers significant value to California employers and injured workers."
Established in 1914 by the state legislature State Fund has operated for 100 years, is California's largest provider of workers' compensation insurance, and a vital asset to California businesses. State Fund supports California's entrepreneurial spirit and plays a stabilizing role in the economy by providing fairly priced workers' compensation insurance making California workplaces safe, and restoring injured workers.

Record-breaking heat hits Norway, Finland and Sweden
By Jason Samenow
July 18, 2018 — 3.33pm
Washington: An intense heat dome has swelled over Scandinavia, pushing temperatures more than 10 degrees above normal and spurring some of the region's hottest weather ever recorded and a historic bush fire outbreak in Sweden.
Even as far north as the Arctic Circle, the mercury has come close to 32 degrees Celsius.

Normally, temperatures in Scandinavia during July warm to the comfortable early 20s. This week, they have soared into the early 30s.
Since Monday, several locations have approached or surpassed their highest temperatures observed any day or month of the year.
In central Norway, Trondheim Airport hit 32.4 on Monday, and Snasa 31.6 degrees, both are all-time records.

In southern Finland, Turku hit 33.3 degrees on Tuesday, the highest temperature since 1914 when it reached 35.9. Helsinki witnessed one of its hottest two-day periods on record on Sunday and Monday.
In southern Sweden, Uppsala hit 34.4 degrees on Monday, its highest temperature since 1975.
French meteorologist Etienne Kapikian, who compiled many of these hot weather extremes, said the heat was particularly widespread throughout Finland, where temperatures were at least 30 degrees across much of the country.
To the west, Sweden's national weather agency issued a rare heat warning for temperatures forecast to reach at least 30 five days straight in its central region, according to The Local. The publication said the high temperatures have likely intensified a "historic wildfire outbreak" afflicting the country.
The heat dome responsible for the sweltering temperatures is predicted to only very slowly drift eastward over the next several days.
"The heat is here to stay for a while," said Meteorologist Joonas Koskela, from the Finnish news organisation Yle.
Scandinavia is the latest region of the Northern Hemisphere to deal with exceptionally hot weather this summer. New all-time heat records have been set on every continent, including several locations in North America, Europe, Eurasia, Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Church Row Scheme c1934
Posted on July 5, 2013 by Picture Stockton Team
We believe these photographs were taken during the Church Row Scheme c1934. Can anyone shed some light as to what is happening in the road?

The photographs are part of a series taken from various standpoints in Paradise Street and show the remaining south side of Tees Street. The top photo shows what is possibly No.17 Tees Street: there was in fact a narrow alleyway between this and the wall of the North Shore workshops showing the window apertures; the alley went through to Union Street behind. The shutter and form-work being laid down will be for pillars and support elements for the new rail bridge, prior to excavation of the Church Road underpass through to Portrack.

The Church Road scheme was opened in 1934-5. Hore Belisha was then Transport Minister.He would have taken particular pride in the " Belisha Beacon" crossing at the top of Church Road.
Mr Hore Belisha left the Government in around 1940 when he had been Minister for War, where despite the genral policy of the Chamberlin Government to Hitler he had done as much as possible to strengthen Britain's defences, introducing conscription.
Hore-Belisha was appointed Minister of Transport in 1934 coming to public prominence at a time when motoring was becoming available to the masses. All UK speed limits for motor cars had controversially been removed by the Road Traffic Act 1930 during the previous (Labour) administration. 1934 was to see record GB road casualties with (7,343 deaths and 231,603 injuries) being recorded, with half of the casualties being pedestrians and three-quarters occurring in built-up areas. Hore-Belisha described this as 'mass murder'.[2] Shortly after being appointed, he was crossing Camden High Street when a sports car shot along the street without stopping, nearly causing him 'serious injury or worse.' He became involved in a public-relations exercise to demonstrate how to use the new 'uncontrolled crossings'.[2]
Hore-Belisha's Road Traffic Act 1934 introduced a speed limit of 30 mph for motor cars in built-up areas. This was vigorously opposed by many, who saw the new regulations as a removal of 'an Englishman's freedom of the highway.' The earlier 20 mph speed limit had been abolished in 1930 because it was universally flouted. A large backlog of court cases had made the law unenforceable. In addition, The Automobile Association (AA) and the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) had frequently been successful in defending their members against evidence from primitive speed traps.[2]
Hore-Belisha rewrote the Highway Code and was responsible for the introduction of two innovations which led to a dramatic drop in road accidents: the driving test and the Belisha beacon, named after him by the public. On his retirement, he was made vice-president of the Pedestrians' Association and to this day the logo of the organisation includes a Belisha Beacon.[3]

Gazette dated July 11th 2013 there is a bit from Remember When, 70 years after column about Church Road.
It tells us it was opened by Mr Hore-Belisha seventy years ago that would make it 1942-3 at a cost of £150,000 and two and a half years work.
I have a feeling it was up and running earlier than that date, can anyone remember when exactly.

True Fred St Ann's Hill was vanishing in the clearances that Stockton Corporation started, housing schemes were going on in all area's, we old hands still called it St Ann's, the first Council owned houses, the first in the Country I believe as the old houses of Stockton vanished. Blue Hall estate was taking many of the people being moved on, my future wife and family were moved on from the High Street Norton when part of it was knocked down to build the row of shops.
I saw a lot of it from the cab of a truck as Dad delivered bricks and building material to the sites. Kendrew's around the Norton Green area, Primrose Hill, the Grange, Mount Pleasant and others. Bricks from Blacketts and Crossleys, cement or quick lime and wood. There were quite a few small Haulage Contractors with their own trucks and they were kept busy at a time when so many people were out of work, those times were very hard for so many.
In the run up to war things started to pick up as new aerodromes were built, runways laid and roads upgraded, so it was Tarmac, hard core, and as the factories started up Steam Coal for the Boilers.
One very vivid memory was being winched up Berk Brow backwards then being lowered back down on the winch wire as Dad tipped the load, I did it once then got out at the bottom and watched after that.
I spent a lot of time in Portrack with friends or courting, mind you had to pass the guard on the Railway crossing to do that, "it is OK he is one of us so I could take Josie home" some were not so lucky.
A lot of the old Portrack must have gone before my time part of it to build the new Church Road connection, if you remember walking through it the whole was solid concrete with the walkway much higher than the road, it was more like a Canal cut and must have taken some building as they obviously mined under the railway.
Bob Irwin on July 9, 2013 at 11:55 am said:
Frank when you talk about the 1st Council houses in Portrack and people moving out to the Blue Hall estate, were they going to the new Blue Hall or the old one? Knowing that the old one which is north of Norton Avenue and the old one being south of the Avenue.
Frank P mee on July 9, 2013 at 1:38 pm said:
Bob, all the houses had been built north of the Avenue when I was at Norton Board School we had loads of kids from Leven Road Swale Esk Balder Eamont Skerne and others who all had their own football sides.
The South side of the Avenue must have been almost complete as my future wife's family moved into Somerset Road, Drake Raleigh Waterford having been up a while and all at the time part of a very decent and thriving community. They moved to make way for the new shops in the High Street around 1936-7.
Beaconsfield Road in my early days was across a field by farm track until Kendrew completed the Bradbury Road estate up to that track and across the grounds of what had been Norton House, I remember that being demolished, "err" just.
Other parts of Norton were still being built Kiethlands and what we called Mount Pleasant, new houses had been built in Portrack though many of the old parts remained until well after the war.
As I said I saw these things from the cab of a truck, rather a unique experience for any child back then though we did have a car, "err" I mean two, a Ford 8 and an Austin Chummy two seater, which car got my mother a warning during the war years, another story.
Being a lad who saw everything as an adventure travelling with Dad during holidays was to me a bit like time travel we saw new things each day and going into factories with loads of steam coal opened my eye's to the satanic mills, and they were.
Portrack and Blackets brickworks got me in with the boys and girls as I would be down the claypits playing whilst the wagon was loaded all hand ball and when old enough was taught how to catch three bricks and stack them in a continuous movement. Those early days got me some very good friends at the time and later a few girl friends as we all got the dance bug.
The people of Portrack were hard workers, the women worked in the factories during the war, they were fun people who played hard when the chance arose, Christmas and New year parties were memorable more so as I played piano so was in demand.
Fred Starr on July 8, 2013 at 11:01 am said:
Frank's suggestion about this tube being a coffer dam makes good sense. But I am doubtful whether this will have much to do with the Church Road scheme. As I commented on the last set of pictures "relating to the Church Road scheme". I wonder if a set of pictures has got mixed in with those from Church Road…
But Frank has pointed out an important issue, which is how the Chuch Road bridge was built without shutting down the railway line into the Malleable for at least a few weeks.
Fred, I think we are all looking at the pictures from our own knowledge of how it was as we knew it, I have memory of the main way to Portrack Lane being over the crossing, though by then the Church Road Scheme was open. Dad always went over the crossing with his truck to the brickworks, no fork lift trucks then it was all hand ball, I sharp learned how to catch three bricks at once and stack them neatly.
The picture with the square hole looks more to be the back wall of the North Shore Shipyard with
The houses up to the wall being Tees Street or Union Street one side of Paradise Street having been demolished.
The picture with the Coffer Dam is from another angle and could show the side of Paradise Street not yet demolished, from the Town we had Church Row, The Square, Paradise Row then Paradise Street right up to the Railway and as the extension went down under the bridge and up a quite steep bank before veering to join Portrack Lane it would fit. There must have been quite a clearance on the other side of the Railway as I have no memory of the Streets behind the Union workhouse.
The people I knew in Portrack lived in the St Anne's Hill Area.
It would be very interesting to find the full story of that development it must be written down somewhere.
Fred Starr on July 9, 2013 at 8:48 am said:
Frank, your memories are prewar (WWII) mine are post war when Church Road was already 15 years old. Sinking the cutting to make Church road would have probably got close to the water table.Note that the square hole is full of water, and this might have had to be pumped out before excavation could begin.
It is a mystery
By the way St Annes Hill had begun to disappear even before the war, being dug out to become Bl Balcketts
I do not know for sure and hate guess work when it comes to history, I do know the circular tube is a Coffer dam. It is placed on the ground then men dig out the soil from under the bottom rim slowly sinking it into the ground. Why they would be sinking a coffer dam I do not know although if that is the end of Paradise Row and they were going under the Railway then the River would be above the level of the road they were building and we all know the banks are porous there being a large sand bank up and under the town and the reason the Globe Theatre needs extensive support work, it sits on sand.
Paradise Row was set to be demolished later as the main work got under way with the underpass and Bridge which was next to Harkers and Browns new Fabrication shops that came much later than the Bridge, and that bridge was taken down a few years back as the new road system went in.
My "guess" is the early stages of the project as they prepared to go under the railway with the new connecting road which if my memory does not let me down was opened by a very famous personage.
Derek Wade on July 5, 2013 at 10:45 pm said:
Only half an answer. Because the land is so flat, I doubt that it is part of Church Road – unless it was to do with Maritime Road – even then I doubt it. I have no idea what the big duct is for, I can only say what it is not. It must be about 6′ dia, made of welded thin plate therefore unsuitable for underground drains, or as a pile (as it is). Doing a bit of photoshop on the top one shows the bottom of the hole has weld mesh and has been concrete cast. Also in the top picture; the wall from the left side has a door like opening, at the left end, with a chap standing on a heap of timbers in front of the opening. In the distance , through the opening is a small building (about 10′ sq.) The row of houses appears to go hard up against the wall.
Not much help, but thats my effort!

GameCity Festival Returns To Nottingham Next Month
News by Adam Smith former Deputy Editor
I was extremely disappointed to miss last year's GameCity. Everybody I've spoken to who was there speaks about it in reverent tones. Actually, scratch that, there's no reverence at all. It's happiness, the remembered joy of sharing a splendid, creative, social hobby with a wide array of pleasant people. I won't make the same mistake this year, although I'll probably only visit for one or two days. The event runs October 19th-26th and it sounds like a very different beast to traditional/commercial gaming gatherings. Indeed, it's billed as a festival rather than a convention, with family-friendly events that involve both play and discourse. It's my personal mission to count the number of free energy drinks and dubstep assaults. Confirmed events are listed below, including an intriguing week-long headliner.
We'll get to the headline event shortly. First, here's the rest. It's not a full list so do check back at the website to find out more over the coming weeks.
An Antiques Roadshow-style event on October 22 – run by the National Videogame Archive – visitors can bring their old videogames and any related material and share their memories of videogames and gaming.
GameCityLimits on October 23 and October 24 - a vibrant conference exploring the fringes and boundaries where videogames and interactive culture intersects business and media. It will feature media industry leaders such as Macmillian, Channel 4, EMI and Wellcome coming together for a round of presentations, talks and panel discussions. Business-focused sessions will explore new directions and commercial advice for businesses, helping them navigate and collaborate within the cross-sector commissioning landscape.
Unveiling the winners of the Off the Map competition on Wednesday October 23 – a collaboration between GameCity, Crytek software and the British Library using historic drawings and maps of Stonehenge, the Tower of London and the Pyramids.
The GameCityPrize – a shortlist for the annual award for the most exceptional videogame of the year will be drawn up at an event on Thursday October 24. Last year's judging panel was chaired by Lord Puttnam.
Leading developer Mike Bithell will be joining a discussion about mythology and how myths develop before revealing his latest game on Friday October 25. The venue and the subject of the game remain a closely guarded secret… for now.
The Antiques Roadshow event sounds fantastic. For non-British readers who may have spent their years on this planet without access to the Roadshow, it's a wonderful creation that involves members of the public showing bric-a-brac and knick knacks to antique experts (they are usually both antique and experts in antiques), who then tell them that the clay dog their mad uncle left in the pottery shed is worth ten quid. Here's a clip.
I expect the GameCity version will involve lots of cloth maps. It should do.
Presumably, Mike Bithell will be revealing the theme of his game rather than the game itself, since we've seen a little of that already.
The headline event is Two Big Screens. It's best explained by the organisers:
...a remarkable experiment in public play – two giant screens that will take up different positions and configurations for different games each day. As well as shifting around Nottingham's Old Market Square, they will feature new and innovative games from leading developers, including Mike Bithell (Thomas was Alone) and Martin Hollis (Goldeneye 64). Called simply Two Big Screens, GameCity8 director Iain Simons promises one of the most interesting experiments in large-scale public gaming ever seen.
Who will join me in Nottingham?

The changing capabilities of data-driven TV advertising are forcing ad agencies to change.
In a panel dubbed "Finding A Path to Deterministic TV" at Beet Retreat In The City, Laura McElhinney, Chief Data Officer, Horizon Media, explained how her agency is adapting.
McElhinney told Furious Corp CEO Ashley J. Swartz how Horizon is seeing challenges and opportunities thrown up by advanced TV advertising capabilities.
Challenge: Data view needed
Advanced TV demands a holistic sight of audience behavior data from across multiple channels. But McElhinney said Horizon doesn't always get sufficient sight of data to construct the optimal campaign.
"We have to break down the silos," she said. "The problem is, is that everyone's working in their own silo and you're not able, from an agency standpoint, to bring all that data together and to look at it.
"It really helps us really look at the measurement across the ecosystem instead of just looking at one channel or something that's happening in one area."
Opportunity: Incentivised
But McElhinney said Horizon is responding to the wish of some clients to change the pricing model for performance-driven advertising.
In other words, she is happy for Horizon to be part part of its fee based on the real, attributable outcomes it can provably generate for brand clients
"We're driving a lot of our clients more towards that shared risk, shared reward, which is helping to change the KPIs and changing what we look at from a currency standpoint," she said.
Asked by Swartz if that meant clients are incentivizing Horizon on performance, she said: "Of course. Yeah. We are (open to that). It's not a one-size-fits-all. You have to play all sides of the coin."

Technical Uses for Nontechnical Software (MCAD Modeling Column)
31 Mar, 2008 By: IDSA ,Mike Hudspeth
You may know many of these applications — you just didn't know you needed them.
You're used to reading about the latest in high tech 3D modeling in my "MCAD Modeling" column. But believe it or not, there are more things in heaven and on Earth than those dreamt of in that rather specialized philosophy. Other kinds of software are valuable to designers who have little to do with 3D modeling. They can — and do — make your job easier and more productive.
When I started in the design field, everything was drawn on a drafting board, typed with a typewriter (electric — I'm not that old), and copied with either a diazo blueprint machine or a photocopier. I literally spent hours making drawings, copying them, cutting out what I wanted, taping everything down, and running another copy. It was very labor intensive. Oh, if I only had the tools I have now, back then. What wonders could I have wrought! Nowadays, we have the most important tool we are likely ever to get to make our jobs easier, faster, and more accurate — the computer. You must have the right software, of course.
It may sound obvious, but a lot of people wouldn't think of Microsoft Office as engineering software. Sure, they know they're going to need it if they set up an office, but it has some technical applications as well. I worked at one company where my boss wanted me to create technical drawings in Microsoft Word. I could bring in images and set up tables, but Microsoft Word just isn't a drafting package. It can be used to do a lot of things, but you have to ask why anyone would use it that way, especially when a real computer-aided drafting (CAD) package was available. And I did ask. I was asked if Microsoft Word could do it; I answered that it could. He told me, "then do so." After that I smiled a lot but kept my mouth shut.
Microsoft Word is an indispensable tool for the modern office, but it's not a drafting package. Microsoft Word is meant to process words. Yes, you can add pictures and arrange tables. But did you know that most of the time you can import all that work into your 3D modeling software and use it? SolidWorks has what it calls design folders that allow users to store all kinds of relevant data right into models — even MS Office files.
For typing and editing text, Microsoft Word is hard to beat. What would you use it for? You could create a running diary of the changes you make to a model and document why you made them. Come audit time, that information could be priceless. And what about the times when you have opened someone else's file and wondered why they did what they did? A diary file can explain those things.
Along with word processing comes spreadsheet preparation. Products such as Microsoft Excel truly are engineering tools. These programs are invaluable for arranging information and doing simple math. This information can be imported into most modern 3D modeling software as well (figure 1). Why would you need to do that? Hole tables come to mind.
Figure 1. Microsoft Excel will import tables directly into most 3D modelers.
If your company allows for tabulated drawings, you can create all kinds of bills of materials (BOMs). The tables can be imported or merely linked back to the Microsoft Excel files to save file size and increase flexibility. After all, editing values in Microsoft Excel will be easier than doing in your drawing.
Should I even mention Microsoft PowerPoint? I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation to show off a product design. This software is wonderful. You can copy and paste text from just about any source. Pictures come in just as easily. You can even include animations and Web links to wow your audience.
But what if you need more than simple math? Then you hook yourself up with some engineering math software such as Maplesoft's Maple (figure 2) or Wolfram Research's Mathematica. I know many engineers who struggle to do higher-level math in Excel, but what they end up with is hardly ever as good as it should be. Most often it suffices, but making changes or troubleshooting their arithmetic can get involved. Real math software can show not only the problem and the answer but every single step in between. (My math teacher tried so hard to get me to do that.) Troubleshooting your math is far easier that way. Math software is a great tool.
Figure 2. When you need to perform math, Maple is up to the challenge. Here, a digital mockup of a suspension system is mapped out.
As great as your 3D modeling software is at capturing photo-realistic — even ray-traced — images, you almost always need to tweak them. To do that, you're going to need graphics software, and all kinds are available. Programs such as MAXON's CINEMA 4D and NewTek's Lightwave not only allow you to model but also render and animate your designs.
If you have the Sci Fi channel, you've probably seen the new Battlestar Galactica series. You know those great space battle scenes with all the cool ships and stuff? They build all that with Lightwave. Of course, you may not need to go to that level. You may be concerned with getting graphic output for, say, a user manual.
Programs such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW (figure 3) are just the ticket. They are vector-based programs, which means that they work with lines and arcs. This system is very handy for making changes and enlarging images. But sometimes you just want to output a raster image — that's a bitmap. Adobe Photoshop is the industry big boy, but Corel PHOTO-PAINT (included with the CorelDRAW suite) is good, too. Both programs will let you add just the right glint of light to an otherwise dull model. It may surprise some how much difference that can make in selling a design. And if you're artistic, a program like Autodesk's SketchBook Pro is really good.
Figure 3. With solid raster as well as vector capabilities, CorelDRAW is an extremely useful tool for designers.
Getting cool artwork isn't the end of the story. You're going to need page-layout software to pull it all together with the text. InDesign, again from Adobe (they sure do get in there and get the job done) lets users arrange images in as interesting, informative, or intuitive a manner as possible. I use it for manuals, brochures, and just about anything that I need to create to show off my designs. And speaking of showing off designs, Adobe (yet again!) Acrobat Pro is a must have — especially the new 3D product (figure 4). With it you can output files that others can read, mark up, and even rotate, cut sections, and turn off assembly components.
Figure 4. If you need to send information to anyone else — for any reason — you can hardly do it better than with Adobe Acrobat 3D.
I have only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to software that you probably need but might not have known that you needed. I only have so much space. Suffice it to say, there is a lot of software that people wouldn't necessarily think of as useful for engineering. But it is — and it's waiting for you to discover.

(en arménien ) ou Achot Voghormadz (, « Achot le Miséricordieux » ; mort en 977) est un membre de la famille arménienne des Bagratides, qui est roi d'Arménie de 951 à 977.

Biographie

Fils d'Abas, roi d'Arménie, il déplace dès son avènement la capitale de ses États de Kars à Ani, ville qu'il embellit au cours de son règne. Une des erreurs de son règne est de céder la province de Vanand et la ville de Kars à son frère Mouchel avec le titre royal. Cette coexistence de deux royaumes bagratides est la principale cause du déclin de l'Arménie. Malgré ce déclin politique, cette période est un âge d'or de la civilisation arménienne.

Le royaume de Vaspourakan, dans l'Arménie méridionale, est également en proie à la division et l'insécurité due aux incursions musulmanes, et le patriarche Anania de Moks préfère s'installer dans l'Arménie du nord, à Arkina. Son successeur, Vahan de Siounie, entreprend d'aplanir le différend confessionnel entre Constantinople et l'Arménie, mais il n'est pas suivi par le clergé arménien qui le dépose.

Durant son règne, les frères  et  Bagratouni, princes du Taron, cèdent leur domaine à l'Empire byzantin, en échange de domaines et de charges byzantines. Ce legs apporte à l'empire une base en plein cœur de l'Arménie, et l'empereur  vient faire une visite de l'Arménie en 972, à la tête d'une importante armée. Tous les rois et princes arméniens se liguent contre l'empereur, qui, impressionné par la démonstration de force, interrompt sa visite.

Postérité

Il meurt en 977, laissant de son épouse Khosrovanoush (morte en 981) :
  (989), roi d'Arménie ;
  (1020), roi d'Arménie ;
  (989), prince de Tachir, puis roi d'Albanie du Caucase.

In this study, we obtained previously existing codes, and modified them to implement the same density functional, improve numerical accuracy, and regularize input and output. One code was originally written as a Hartree-Fock atomic structure program, and so required more substantial modifications. The codes had different functionality, and so different subsets were used to treat each case, as indicated in the table below.
codes used
number of codes
LDA 1 2 3 4 4
LSD 1 3 4 3
RLDA 1 3 4 3
ScRLDA 2 3 2
Error budget
The goal of this project was to obtain total energies accurate to 1 microHartree across the periodic table (compared to an RLDA total energy of -28 001 Hartree for U), a value which seems thoroughly adequate for all foreseeable needs of materials science and chemistry (1 microHartree = 0.03 meV = 0.0006 kcal/mole).
Obviously, this goal could only be attained by performing complex numerical calculations, for which it is difficult to state an error budget in rigorous quantitative terms. The only exact analytical results available to us are the total energies (equal to orbital energy eigenvalues) of one-electron atoms, as given by solution of the Schrödinger nist-equation. We found that, in all cases, these energies were reproduced to the numerical accuracy of the computer for radial grid parameters similar to those used in our production runs.
Thus, our basis for quoting the absolute numerical accuracies given here derives from
establishing the accuracy of one-electron calculations, and
observing consensus of the results of independent calculations (quantified in the following figures), which were seen to improve systematically as the numerical grids were refined.

Q: Limit of $\frac{a^{n+1}(n+1)!^b}{\sum_{k=0}^n a^kk!^b}$ when $n\rightarrow\infty$ I want to prove that $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{a^{n+1}(n+1)!^b}{\sum_{k=0}^n a^kk!^b}<\infty$$ for $a,b>0$.
This is the last step of a bigger problem. I believe it would suffice to use good enough upper and lower bounds for the factorials, but I don't know such bounds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: Without further conditions on $a$ and $b$, this cannot be true. For example, let $a=b=1$, and let $n \ge 1$.  Then the numerator is $(n+1)!$. The denominator is $\le n(n-1)!+n!$, that is, $\le 2(n!)$, so the ratio is $\ge (n+1)/2$.

As Sussex Partners turns fifteen this year, the firm has broadened its offering to a continuum of hedge fund advisory services.
These range from its long-standing stock-intrade of individual, research-driven fund ideas to handling clients'entire hedge fund portfolios in outsourced CIO fashion – and anything in between. "We always had clients who wanted more than just ideas, and as many of them asked for broader assistance, it was natural for us to expand our services,"says co-founder, Patrick Ghali.
Sussex now sits on the investment committee of several family offices and has an exclusive mandate to provide hedge fund research for a private bank. This includes putting together a platform of approved funds and designing bespoke portfolios for larger clients. It is also advising a commercial bank in Asia on investing part of its proprietary capital into hedge funds to diversify its core traditional asset holdings. Sussex is providing advice on "several billions"of client AUM and this figure, conservatively, only includes clients'hedge fund portfolios, and not their total assets, which are many times greater. It has no direct responsibility for clients'long only, real estate and private equity assets, but naturally is cognisant of how these interact and correlate with its own bailiwick of hedge funds. As part of its wider dialogue, Sussex is working with an external manager to help some clients to implement an "endowment-style"investing approach.
Sussex takes pride in "high-touch"service – and as such is the polar opposite of the current fashion for digital advice or "robo-advice". The Sussex modus operandi is labour intensive, so the firm has made several hires in recent years, taking the team to 20, and expects to further augment the headcount as clients are on-boarded. The company spans London – where Sussex is regulated by the FCA – Zurich, Tokyo and New York, where Partner and CIO, Jim Neumann, spent seven years co-heading the Ramius Capital fund of funds. He also has experience in fixed income portfolio management, FinTech, and structured finance.

Q: Can I eval expression in object context? Good day. I need to eval expression in some object context, but the only solution I found is to create stubs for every object function:
 var c = {
    a : function () {
      return 'a';
    },
    b : function () {
      return 'b';
    }
  };

  function evalInObj(c, js) {
    function a() {
      return c.a();
    }

    function b() {
      return c.b();
    }

    return eval(js);
  };

  console.log(evalInObj(c, 'a() + b()'));

Show me the right way, please. Can I do it with prototype?
  var C = function(id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

  C.prototype.a = function () {
    return 'a' + this.id;
  }

  C.prototype.b = function () {
    return 'b' + this.id;
  }

  function evalCtx(js) {
    console.log(this);  // C {id: 1}
    return eval(js);
  }

  var c1 = new C(1);
  evalCtx.call(c1, 'a() + b()'); // error: a is not defined

A: For late-comers who are still looking for the solution of the issue (or the similar). Instead of using eval(), we can create anonymous function dynamically and evaluate the expression in the object context:
function evaluate(expression, context = {}) {
  try {
    // console.debug("[DEBUG] Dynamic anonymous function to be defined:\n%s", `function(${[...Object.keys(context)].join()}) {\n'use strict'; return (${expression})\n}`)
    const fun = Function(...Object.keys(context), `'use strict'; return (${expression})`)
    // console.debug("[DEBUG] Dynamically defined anonymous function:\n%o", fun)
    const result = fun(...Object.values(context))
    // console.debug("[DEBUG] Evaluation result: %o", result)
    return result
  } catch(error) {
    if(error.message === `Unexpected token ')'`) throw SyntaxError('Unexpected token, likely at the end of expression.')
    else throw error
  }
}

To assert:
console.assert(evaluate('a===1 && b===2', {a: 1, b: 2}) === true)
console.assert(evaluate('a===1 && b===3', {a: 1, b: 2}) === false)
console.assert(evaluate('f()', {a: 1, f: ()=>11}) === 11)

A: (() =>
{
    // 'use strict';
    function run(expression, context = {})
    {
        return function ()
        {
            return eval(expression);
        }.call(context);
    }

    let context = {a:{b:'Bb'}};
    console.log(run('this', context));      // {a:{b:'Bb'}}
    console.log(run('this.a', context));    // {b:'Bb'}
    console.log(run('this.a.b', context));  // 'Bb'
    console.log(run('a.b', context));       // ReferenceError: a is not defined
})();

A: The most notable advantage of this technique is that it work without the with keyword,
Thus even in strict mode
+function()
{
    // jsut pollyfills for backward browsers...
    Object.prototype.keys || (Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, 'keys', {value: function ()
        {
            var result = []; for (var key in this) result.push(key); return result;
        }}));
    Object.prototype.entries || (Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, 'entries', {value: function ()
        {
            var result = []; for (var key in this) result.push([key, this[key]]); return result;
        }}));

    // here the magic...
    function run(expression, context)
    {
        var variables = {};
        (context instanceof Object) && context.entries().forEach(function(entry)
        {
            entry[0].match(/^[a-z_$][a-z0-9_$]*$/) && (variables[entry[0]] = entry[1]);
        });
        return (new Function('return function(' + variables.keys().join(', ') + ') { return ' + expression + '; }'))()// first get the synthetic function
               .apply(context, variables.entries().map(function(entry) { return entry[1]; }));
    }

    var output = run("a + '#' + b", {a: 'Aa', b: 'Bb', 0: 'Zero'});
    console.log(output); // Aa#Bb
}();

A: function runScript(ctx, js){ with(ctx){ return eval(js); }}

closed. thanks all
