Q: Modelling log odds ratio I am interested in how people react to new information regarding how to solve maths puzzles. I give people a maths test scored out of 30, tell people new information, and give them a similar maths test, again out of 30. I want to find out whether the information has affected the difference in score in each participant.
Participants are sorted into one or two groups: one is given one set of information, the other a different set.  So there are two treatments. However, I am also interested to see if an interaction between treatment and peoples university faculty(science or arts) will have any affect in how they tackle puzzles.
I would like to model my findings using a GLM.  The obvious thing to do would be to take the difference in score before and after, and model the difference as a normal GLM.  However, given the nature of the test, and the score being out of 30- the variance of the distribution of answers is most likely heterogenous- the variance at around a score of 15 will be larger than the variance around the score of 1 or 29.
One other option is to use the log-odds ratio, and calculate it for each participant.
$b_1=$ number of correct answers in before test
$b_2=$ number of incorrect answers in before test
$a_1=$ number of correct answers in after test
$a_2=$ number of incorrect answers in after test
$$
\text{Log Odds ratio} = \log(b_1/b_2)/(a_1/a_2)
$$
This would solve my variance problem, but I am confused about how to model it, and if it is the same as logistic GLMs?  Would I model the Log odds ratio using a normal GLM as I have negative values? How does this differ from a binomial GLM?
Would this allow me to model a mixed effects model using participant as a random effect using the log odds ratio?

A: It seems like your score is simply number of correct out of 30 questions.  Then I would model that using a logistic regression, which have parameters that are log odds directly.
Your predictor variables would be a factor variable for person, a factor coding  science/arts, and a factor for before/after, and  interactions. Maybe the person factor should be a random effect (if using R you could use the package lme4). Then I would look out for possdible problems with overdispersion, which is always something to look out for with logistic regression.
  EDIT

Below an example of logistic analysis with the example data you provided.  First, the data file I constructed from the dropbox link:
# Block1C  number correct before
# Block1I  number incorrect before
# Block2C  number correct after
# Block2I  number incorrect after
# Treat    0=control, 1=Treat
# Fac      0=science, 1=arts
Block1C Block1I Block2C Block2I Treat   Fac
20  10  17  13  1   1
16  14  21  9   1   1
16  14  13  17  1   1
20  10  21  9   1   1
16  14  18  12  1   1
10  20  12  18  1   1
15  15  11  19  1   1
17  13  12  18  0   0
17  3   21  9   0   0
19  21  14  16  0   0
18  12  22  8   0   0
17  13  19  11  0   0
18  12  11  19  0   1
14  16  13  17  0   1
7   23  1   29  0   1
18  12  15  15  0   1
18  12  17  13  0   1
16  14  13  17  0   1
12  18  13  17  0   0

Then, reading in and preparing (reshaping) the data for analysis. We use the melt function from package data.table, which really extends data.frame :
dat  <-  read.table(file="math_puzzles.txt",header=TRUE,
                    colClasses=c(rep("numeric",4),rep("factor",2)))
dat$Participant  <-  as.factor(1:19)
### Using data.table and melt():
library(data.table)   ### Extensions of data frames
dat  <-  as.data.table(dat)
dat2  <-  melt(dat, id=c("Participant","Fac","Treat"),
                         measure.vars=list(c("Block1C","Block2C"),
                                           c("Block1I","Block2I")),
               value.name=c("Correct","Incorrect"),
               variable.name="time", verbose=TRUE)

Then the logistic regression model with glm:
> mod1  <-  glm( cbind(Correct,Incorrect) ~ Fac+Treat+time,data=dat2,
+               family=quasibinomial)
> summary(mod1)

Call:
glm(formula = cbind(Correct, Incorrect) ~ Fac + Treat + time,
    family = quasibinomial, data = dat2)

Deviance Residuals:

Then finally a mixed effects logistic regression using the package lme4 :

Japan and China have long been in conflict owing to various unresolved political issues. Although they continue to maintain economic ties up to this day, the political tensions have created a sour relationship between the two Asian nations. It is sad to think that a country's economic and cultural ties with another nation can easily be so threatened due to politics, territorial issues and the desire to be a military super power in the region.
Among the notable disputes the two countries are involved in for years now pertain to the ownership of the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands in East China Sea. While the area is nearer Japan's southernmost portion, China has been claiming it to be theirs adding that it has been long been used as a fishing ground of the Chinese since the ancient times.
Japan's wartime history has also been strongly criticized by China particularly its role in the Nanking massacre 1937 that killed hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Owing to these disputes, tensions between the two nations have been high in recent years. In a recent security forum in Singapore wherein Chinese Lieutenant General Wang Guanzhong, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation army accused Japan and the U.S. for criticizing China in their speeches. Japan answered back and through Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, denied the allegation stressing that it was in fact China that defamed Japan by making erroneous claims.
Amid their conflicts, though, there are signs that prove both Asian nations still want to maintain their economic ties. In recent months, delegations from each country have made efforts towards meeting with government officials to discuss various important issues.
In May this year, a Japanese delegation went to Beijing to renew ties with China. The delegation composed of senior lawmakers from Japan headed to China for a three-day visit.
The main purpose of the visit was to arrange a summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe which failed to push through earlier due to the territorial disputes involving the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands. The members of the delegation also met with other important government officials.
For its part, China may still be angered by Japan's past and wartime blunders but analysts see hope that the two nations will be able to rescue their ties in the future. The signs are there that it's still not too late to improve their relationship.
Proof of this is the visit to Tokyo last April by Hu Deping who is the son of the late Hu Yaobang and close confidante of President Xi Jinping. Hu met with Japan's Foreign Ministry officials and Prime Minister Abe Shinzo although in an informal meeting. He also echoed his late father's urgent call for improved ties between Japan and China during their talks.
Another meeting took place in the same month but between Tokyo's governor and Beijing's mayor. The talk centered on managing the Olympic Games and solving air pollution. In November last year, China declared an air defense zone over the Senkaku islands insisting that aircrafts flying there should ask permission first.
Incidentally, 2014 marks the 120th anniversary of China's defeat by Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. The war was to gain control over Korea.

Cation–cation interactions and cation exchange in a series of isostructural framework uranyl tungstates
Journal Article Balboni, Enrica ; Burns, Peter C., E-mail: pburns@nd.edu ; Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556 - Journal of Solid State Chemistry
The isotypical compounds (UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(WO{sub 6})(H{sub 2}O){sub 5} (1), Ag(UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(WO{sub 6})(OH)(H{sub 2}O){sub 3} (2), K(UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(WO{sub 6})OH(H{sub 2}O){sub 4} (3), Rb(UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(WO{sub 6})(OH)(H{sub 2}O){sub 3.5} (4), and Cs(UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(WO{sub 6})OH(H{sub 2}O){sub 3} (5) were synthesized, characterized, and their structures determined. Each crystallizes in space group Cc. (1): a=12.979 (3), b=10.238 (2), c=11.302 (2), β=102.044 (2); (2): a=13.148 (2), b=9.520 (1), c=11.083 (2), β=101.568 (2); (3): a=13.111 (8), b=9.930 (6), c=11.242 (7), β=101.024 (7); (4): a=12.940 (2), b=10.231 (2), c=11.259(2), β=102.205 (2); (5): a=12.983 (3), b=10.191 (3), c=11.263 (4), β=101.661 (4). Compounds 1–5 are amore » framework of uranyl and tungsten polyhedra containing cation–cation interactions. The framework has three symmetrically distinct U(VI) cations, one tungsten, sixteen to eighteen oxygen atoms, and in 2–5, one monovalent cation. Each atom occupies a general position. Each U(VI) cation is present as a typical (UO{sub 2}){sup 2+} uranyl ion in an overall pentagonal bipyramidal coordination environment. Each pentagonal bipyramid shares two equatorial edges with two other pentagonal bipyramids, forming a trimer. Trimers are connected into chains by edge-sharing with WO{sub 6} octahedra. Chains are linked through cation–cation interactions between two symmetrically independent uranyl ions. This yields a remarkably complex system of intersecting channels that extend along [0 0 1] and [−1 1 0]. The cation exchange properties of 2 and 3 were characterized at room temperature and at 140 °C. - Graphical abstract: Chains of uranium and tungsten polyhedra are connected into a three dimensional framework by cation–cation interactions occurring between two symmetrically independent uranyl pentagonal bipyramids. Monovalent cations present in channels within the structure can be exchanged by room temperature or mild hydrothermal treatments. The framework of these compounds is robust to cation exchange and heat. (yellow polyhedra=uranium pentagonal bipyramids; blue polyhedra=tungsten octahedral, purple balls=K; yellow balls=Na; grey balls=Tl). - Highlights: • Five isostructural uranyl tungstates compounds were synthesized hydrothermally. • The structures consist of a chains of uranium and tungstate polyhedral. • Chains are connected into a framework by cation–cation interactions. • Cation exchange does not alter the structural integrity of the compounds. • Cation exchange was successful at room temperature and mild hydrothermal conditions.« less

Among them, K 4Sr 4[(UO 2) 13(B 2O 5) 2(BO 3) 2O 12] and A 6[(UO 2) 12(BO 3) 8O 3](H 2O) 6 were obtained through a high-temperature solid-state reaction method, whereas Rb 3[(UO 2) 3(BO 3) 2O(OH)](H 2O) was synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction. All compounds adopt novel two-dimensional (2D) layered structuresmore » in which basic building units (BBUs) consist of corner- or edge-sharing UO x ( x = 6, 7 and 8) polyhedra linked with planar BO 3 triangles or B 2O 5 dimers. K 4Sr 4[(UO 2) 13(B 2O 5) 2(BO 3) 2O 12] is the first mixed alkali–alkaline earth metal uranyl borate. This compound has the most complex 2D anion topology observed thus far in 2D uranyl borates. The fundamental building block (FBB) in this structure, [(UO 2) 13(B 2O 5) 2(BO 3) 2O 12] 12–, consists of 3 UO 8 hexagonal bipyramids and 10 UO 7 pentagonal bipyramids connected with 2 BO 3 triangles and 2 B 2O 5 dimers. The FBB of Rb 6[(UO 2) 12(BO 3) 8O 3](H 2O) 6 is [(UO 2) 6(BO 3) 4O 3] 6–, comprised of five edge-sharing UO 7 pentagonal bipyramids, one UO 6 tetragonal bipyramid, and four BO 3 triangles. The simplest FBB, [(UO 2) 3(BO 3) 2O 2] 4–, occurs in Rb 3[(UO 2) 3(BO 3) 2O(OH)](H 2O), where three UO 7 pentagonal bipyramids are linked with two BO 3 triangles via edge sharing. The aforementioned FBBs are further polymerized into the corresponding infinite uranyl borates layers. Finally, the synthetic methods, novel topologies, thermal stability, and spectroscopic properties of these compounds are reported herein.« less

Channels occupancy and distortion in new lithium uranyl phosphates with three-dimensional open-frameworks
Journal Article Renard, C., E-mail: catherine.renard@ensc-lille.f ; Obbade, S. ; Abraham, F. - Journal of Solid State Chemistry
Three new lithium uranyl phosphates, Li{sub 2}(UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}O (1), Li(UO{sub 2}){sub 4}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3} (2) and Li{sub 3}(UO{sub 2}){sub 7}(PO{sub 4}){sub 5}O (3) were synthesized and studied. Powders of 1 and 2 were synthesized via solid state reaction, and single crystals of the three compounds were obtained by melting of 1 and 2 powders. The structures of the three compounds have been solved and refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. In the three compounds, the uranium atoms occupy square and pentagonal bipyramids. The uranium square bipyramids and phosphate tetrahedra are connected by vertices to form twomore » types of layers with autunite sheet anion-topology {sub i}nfinity{sup 2}[(UO{sub 2})(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}]{sup 4-} and {sub i}nfinity{sup 2}[(UO{sub 2}){sub 2}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}]{sup 5-}denoted S and D, respectively. The uranyl pentagonal bipyramids share opposite equatorial edges to form {sub i}nfinity{sup 1}[UO{sub 5}]{sup 4-} infinite chains. Mutually perpendicular chains are hung on each side of the sheets to build frameworks with non-crossing perpendicular channels that accommodate the lithium ions. Various stacking sequences of the S and D layers, S-S, D-D and S-D, generate three different frameworks in 1, 2 and 3, respectively. These compounds are similar to the recently reported vanadate analogous. However, the phosphate tetrahedra, smaller than the vanadate ones, gives distortion of the layers and a lowering of the symmetry and/or a change of periodicity. The electrical conductivity of 1 and 2 was measured using impedance spectroscopy method. The rather low conductivity of the lithium cations is explained by the crystal structure and the Li{sup +} position within the tunnels. These results corroborate those on the analogous three-dimensional alkaline uranyl vanadates. Crystallographic data: 293 K, BRUKER X8-APEX2 X-ray diffractometer, 4 K CCD detector, MoKalpha, lambda=0.71073 A, full-matrix least-squares refinement on the basis of F. 1, Tetragonal symmetry, space group I4{sub 1}/amd, Z=4 with a=7.1109(2) A and c=25.0407(8) A, R=0.034 and wR=0.047 for 38 parameters with 479 independent reflections with I>=3sigma(I). 2, monoclinic symmetry, space group P2{sub 1}/c, Z=4 and a=9.8829(2) A, b=9.8909(2) A, c=17.4871(4) A and beta=106.198(1){sup o}, R=0.021 and wR=0.031 for 249 parameters with 4201 independent reflections with I>=3sigma(I). 3, Tetragonal symmetry, space group P4-bar2{sub 1}m with a=9.9305(2) A and c=14.5741(3) A, R=0.035 and wR=0.038 for 137 parameters with 4527 independent reflections with i>=3sigma(I). - Graphical abstract: The three new lithium uranyl phosphates Li{sub 2}(UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}O, Li(UO{sub 2}){sub 4}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3} and Li{sub 3}(UO{sub 2}){sub 7}(PO{sub 4}){sub 5}O were synthesised via solid state reaction. The structures of these compounds are based upon three-dimensional open-frameworks built from {sub i}nfinity{sup 1}[UO{sub 5}]{sup 4-} chains connected through two types of layers, S and D, in the sequences S-S, D-D and S-D, respectively. The lithium atoms distribution along the channels induces various distortions of the {sub i}nfinity{sup 1}[UO{sub 5}]{sup 4-} chains.« less
Syntheses and properties of a series of chromium vanadates ACrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs) with layered structure
Journal Article Wang Yonggang ; Liang Jie ; Wen Ting ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry
A series of layered compounds ACrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs) were investigated by means of powder X-ray diffraction technique, thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy. As a new member in this family, the structure of CsCrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} is confirmed by Rietveld refinement applying powder X-ray diffraction data. Isostructural NaCrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} was obtained by ion-exchange reaction of KCrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} in NaNO{sub 3} melt under 350 Degree-Sign C and was testified to be a metastable phase. These compounds crystallize in a monoclinic structure in the space group P2/c, and consist of planar CrV{sub 2}O{sub 7}{sup -} slabs interleavedmore » by alkali-metal cations. ACrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} (A=K, Rb, Cs) present decreasing melting points and characteristic vibration of V=O bond in IR spectra. Magnetic measurements reveal weak antiferromagnetic interactions between Cr{sup 3+} cations in the isolated chains. - Graphical Abstract: A series of layered chromium vanadates ACrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs) have been synthesized by direct solid state reactions and ion-exchange routes. The interlayer alkali-metal cations were testified ion-exchangeable by some smaller monovalent cations. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The entire family of ACrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs) have been prepared via solid-state reactions and ion-exchange routes. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer CsCrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} and a metastable phase of NaCrV{sub 2}O{sub 7} (ie-NaCrV{sub 2}O{sub 7}) were synthesized for the first time. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Structural characterization, spectra features and physical property measurements were carried out contrastively.

This past July the three of us decided to conquer a large part of one of the classic American roads - California Hwy 1. Our final destinations was our friends Don and Stacey in San Jose and then Bill and Kiera in Oakland. Plenty of camping was planned for the trip both up to and back from the Bay Area and we brought the Electras along for good measure.
To get to 1, we had to first traverse Orange County and then the LA area to get to Santa Monica - the southern terminus of this great route. No big deal, we left after the morning rush and planned on eating lunch along the coast.
Pismo Beach or San Louis Obispo was target for the first night of camping. We had a few different campgrounds on the list and were hoping for cancellations so that we could spend the night on the water. However the first couple of state beaches were full. Calling a private campground in the Pismo Beach area that offered hot springs sounded promising, until we actually pulled in lot and found about eight tent sites in an 80x160 gravel/dirt plot with zero privacy. Thankfully a half hour or so up the road we found a great, yet small, county campground outside of San Luis Obispo.
We were only offered one night camping at this place since their annual Renaissance Festival was happening that weekend at the park. No problem as we had planned to be on the road anyway. The "magicks" were definitely in the aire that nighte with plenty of Renaissane enthusiasts setting up camp for the weekend. For some reason I craved a turkey leg.
We had a good night's rest with the three of us spread out in our four man tent - even though the camper in the neighboring site had her classic rock on a bit later than we would have desired. But what's camping without getting the Led out?

Mezipatra at Prague Pride 2017
Are all lesbians on film dangerous and bloodthirsty? What is the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality? How heated is the discussion on LGBTQ+ in Africa, actually? All of your questions will be answered as part of a discussion series brought to you by Mezipatra during the Prague Pride. Each discussion starts at 7:00 pm and is in Czech only. Followed by English friendly screenings, starting 8:30 pm every day from August 8–11. You can find us in the Kampus Hybernská space at Hybernská 4, and naturally on Grindr or Tinder as well. Free admission to all events.
You can also join the Facebook event!
This year we have prepared for you:
7:00 pm – Pub quiz
8:30 pm – Best of Shorts 2015–2016 (screening)
7:00 pm – Queer Africa (discussion)
8:30 pm – The Wound (screening)
7:00 pm – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (discussion)

8:30 pm – Screening: Best of Shorts 2015–2016
Let's start with looking back at the most distinctive short films from the last two years of the festival. US/Brazilian short movie Tom in America remembers Tom of Finland, a famously provocative illustrator and probably the most noticeable figure of 20th century gay culture. Icelandic movie Playing with Balls, sleepy comedy Partners or the subtle Vad som inte sägs provide a fresh look into women's world. The Friend from Tel Aviv investigates trans identity and the hot Cuban movie ALFA proves that porn doesn't have to be about sex. For film connoisseurs we chose a horror short film, Pyotr495, and an unconventional animated movie, Moms on Fire.
Screened in original languages with Czech and English subtitles.
7:00 pm – Snack with discussion: Queer Africa
It can get pretty tough for the LGBTQ+ community in Africa. Does our perception of the continent differ from the reality, though? Is there a difference between the more progressive South Africa, popular tourist destinations in the North and conservative Sub-Saharan countries? What role do sexuality and gender play during the initiation rituals and how are they perceived by various religions? You can find out more about the situation of queer minority in an exciting discussion with Czech experts.
Unfortunately, this event is in Czech only.
8:30 pm – Screening: The Wound (Inxeba)
John Trengove, South Africa / Germany / Netherlands / France, 2017, 88 min
Like every year, Xolani is returning to the mountains to take part in the transformation of young boys into men. This time, a youth from a rich urban family is going to go through the traditional initiation ritual. Xolani is the one going to help him undergo this major change and become his guardian. But the youth's identity touches Xolani's life far more and reminds him why he returns to the mountains every year. It is not only because of tradition. There is someone there who pulls him back to the mountain village.
7:00 pm – Snack with discussion: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Since the time of Basic Instinct and Catherine Tramell, the cold-blooded killer played by Sharon Stone, film viewers have been under the impression that it is not advisable to trust lesbian or other queer characters on the silver screen. Are lesbian protagonists really more bloodthirsty than the rest of the population, or are we to blame common prejudices? You will get your answers in a discussion on the most frequent negative stereotypes that appeared in Hollywood films of the 80's and 90's. We will also talk about essential queer films whose protagonists set out on the seductive path of crime.
8:30 pm – Screening: My Summer of Love
Pawel Pawlikowski, UK, 2004, 86 min
Mona is imprisoned in rural England, where she lives with her brother, a reformed sinner who found limitless faith in God after being released from prison.

Everything suddenly changes after she meets the peculiar Tamsin, which transforms the summer reality into an exciting adventure. But no summer lasts forever…
Screened in English with Czech subtitles.
7:00 pm – Snack with discussion: Beyond Categories
Bisexuality and pansexuality: some people consider these to be millennial fads or just a phase before "really" coming out. How do pansexuals differ from bisexuals? Why do so many people still believe in the myth that they are just hedonistic cheaters? Come and expand your horizons in a discussion with experts right before the film screening. Among other things, the topics will include changing perceptions of sexuality in various historical periods and cultures.
Unfortunately this event is in Czech only.

Missing Peace Pictures to Produce Human Trafficking Feature Film
Renowned Actor/Producer Iyad Hajjaj teams with Award-Winning Director Mahmoud Kamel to tell story of a Young Girl Forced into Labor by Wealthy U.S. Family.
Hollywood, CA, May 01, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Missing Peace Pictures is proud to announce their new project "Dreams I Never Had," a film inspired by a true story of a teenage girl 'Layla' who is held captive as a domestic laborer in the home of a wealthy American family. She is befriended by the family's young gardener 'Emilio,' himself an illegal from Mexico. Their friendship carries both of them through their hopeless, sequestered lives and ultimately inspires them to break free.
Producer and Lead actor Iyad Hajjaj hopes that whoever views this film will abandon their prejudices against people of other races, religions, and cultures. Hajjaj has produced several films, and recently co-produced "Rapture Ranch" starring Lorenzo Lamas. Additionally, he worked as a cultural advisor on several Major Films and TV shows. His extensive and diverse filmography includes 58 acting credits, working alongside such stars as Sharon Stone and Jon Voight.
Scheduled to film in Los Angeles California this May 2016, Missing Peace Pictures has brought Award-winning Director Mahmoud Kamel on board to tell this story of a girl lost and found. "Mahmoud is an Egyptian native who has trained and worked around the world. His background brings authenticity and empathy to the subject matter," says producer Iyad Hajjaj. Kamel directed feature films "Mekano," "Adrenaline," "Adams Village;" Egyptian TV series "The Blond Cat," and a TV show in Dubai. Mahmoud's films were accepted in numerous film festivals including Cannes, Venice and Berlin.
"Dreams I Never Had" will address the plight of America's "invisible" children - those who must live and work secretly, whether by choice or force. The young protagonists of this story can scarcely dream of achieving what we Americans take for granted - our homes, our education, our rights and privileges, our safety, our families, our citizenship, and most importantly - love.
This will be Screenwriter Lisa Savy's third time partnering with Iyad Hajjaj. Their other projects include short films: "Not in My Backyard", and "World of Wargames."
Autumn Essie Bailey-Ford will also Co-Produce. Autumn is a well versed producer and entrepreneur; she has produced over three dozen independent film projects.

Wenguan Johnny Huang (* 5. Oktober 1962 in Shunde, China) ist ein kanadischer Tischtennisspieler chinesischer Abstammung. Er nahm bisher (2007) an 10 Weltmeisterschaften für Kanada teil.

Werdegang
Wenguan Huang hält den Schläger im Shakehand-Stil. Er belegt beide Seiten mit Noppen außen.

In China stand er im Schatten der absoluten Spitzenspieler, etwa Jiang Jialiang, Teng Yi oder Chen Longcan. Daher wanderte er Ende der 1980er Jahre zu Verwandten nach Kanada aus. Hier lebte er mit seiner Ehefrau in Toronto. Da sein Name für die Kanadier schwer zu merken war nannten sie ihn Johnny Huang. 1991 trat er erstmals für Kanada bei der Weltmeisterschaft an, wo er u. a. den Chinesen Ma Wenge besiegte.

1992 übersiedelte Wenguan Huang nach Halle (Westf.), um in der Bundesliga für die Spvg Steinhagen anzutreten. Ein Jahr später wechselte er zu Montpellier. Internationale Turniere  bestritt er weiterhin für Kanada, etwa alle Weltmeisterschaften bis heute (2007). Von 1991 bis 2004 gewann er 11-mal die Nordamerikanische Meisterschaft und zweimal die Commonwealth-Meisterschaften. Beim ITTF ProTour-Turnier siegte er einmal, fünfmal wurde er Zweiter. 1996, 2000 und 2004 war er bei den Olympischen Spielen vertreten.

Privat
Wenguan Huang ist verheiratet mit der Tischtennisspielerin Zhu Juan, die ab 1992 für den VfB Lübeck in der 1. Damen-Bundesliga spielte. Seinerzeit war es das einzige Ehepaar mit beiden Partnern in der 1. Bundesliga.

Q: Распознавание метода class A;

Как в классе B узнать, какой метод класса A его вызвал: x или y ?????

A: class B
{
public:
    B() : origin('\0') {}
    B(char origin) : origin(origin) {}
private:

    B x() { return B('x'); }
    B y() { return B('y'); }
    B xx() { return B(); }
    B yy() { return B(); }
};

int main()
{
    A a;
    B b1 = a.x();
    B b2 = a.y();
    B b3 = a.xx();
    B b4 = a.yy();

    return 0;
}

Других способов я не вижу. Узнать, какой функцией созданы b3 и b4 - нельзя.
По мотивам комментария @Igor ))
Можно устроить некоторую "защиту", объявив B(char) как private и сделав классы A и B друзьями. Тогда в main нельзя будет написать B b5('x'); и по состоянию поля origin можно будет однозначно судить о создании экземпляра B внутри A.

What Makes an Effective Product Description?


The subject made modifications in diet, anabolic-androgenic steroid administration, and exercise strategies depending on body composition calculations. Precompetition pharmaceutical, dietary, and body composition data is presented in table 3.
The subject consumed an estimated daily average of 5699-7281 kcalories throughout all periods. Throughout all periods the percentage of calories from foodstuffs consisted of; protein: 19%-28%, carbohydrates: 51%-58%, fats: 19%-30%. Meals were usually spaced approximately 2.5 to 3 hours apart.
The greatest lean body weight gain was seen the first ten days. The lean body mass gain of 8.9 lbs (0.988 lb / day) was undoubtedly due to the introduction of drugs. Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was used in this period with an average administration of 55.6 mg / Daily for approximately 9 days.
A substantially smaller gain in lean body weight was seen in the second period consisting of approximately 14 days. The gain in lean body mass was only 2.9 lbs (0.207 lb / day). Beginning two days preceding the period, an average of 62.5 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was taken for four days. Also beginning the same time, 300 mg of Boldenone undecylenate (Equipoise) was administered every week. An average daily dosage of 60.7 mg / day was taken with both drugs combined.
The third period reflected an acceptable gain in lean body mass when both Boldenone undecylenate (Equipoise) and Oxymetholone (Anadrol) were administered at an average dosage of 78.6 mg / day. Beginning two days preceding the period, 300 mgs of Boldenone undecylenate (Equipoise) was administered every week and an average of 35.7 mgs of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was taken daily in descending fashion ranging from 50 mg - 7.5 mg . In 14 days, 4.5 lbs (.321 lbs / day) in lean body mass was seen.
A gain of only 1 lb (.066 lb / day) in lean body mass was seen in the fourth period of 15 days. Three days preceding this period, suspected counterfeit Testosterone cypionate (Depo-Testosterone) and Nandrolone decanoate (Deca Durabolin) were administered. According to the concentrations indicated on their labels, 600 mgs. of Testosterone cypionate (Depo-Testosterone) and 175 mg of Nandrolone decanoate (Deca Durabolin) was administered. The subject felt and saw no effect after the first week then proceeded to administer 50 mgs of Stanozolol (Winstrol-V) every other day until the end of the period. Despite the greater than average dosage of Testosterone cypionate (Depo-Testosterone), the average daily dosage of all drugs in that period was only 65 mg / day.
The fifth period lasted only 6 days. Three days preceding the period, 650 mgs of Boldenone undecylenate (Equipoise) were administered over three days, since one syringe could only hold 3 cc, or 150 mgs, only .4 lbs (.06 lbs / day) of lean body weight was seen with 108.33 mg / day of Equipoise.
The sixth period, lasting 8 days, yielded a larger gain of 3.2 lbs (.4 lbs / day) in lean body mass. One day preceding the period, 100 mgs of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was taken all but one day in which 50 mgs of Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) was replaced out of lack of a reliable supply. So, an average of 87.5 mgs / day of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) and an average of 6.25 mgs / day of Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) were taken during this period for a total of 93.75 mgs daily for both drugs.
A greater dosage of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was taken in the seventh period that lasted 7 days. Beginning three days preceding the period, 150 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was taken daily for the first 2 days proceeded by 200 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) daily thereafter. A gain of 3.5 lbs ( .5 lbs / day) of lean body mass was made from an average daily dosage of 178.6 mgs of (Oxymetholone) Anadrol.
The eighth period lasted 8 days. Two days preceding the period a daily average of 162.5 mgs of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was administered daily in descending fashion for the full duration of the period. A loss of 1.5 lbs (-.188 lbs / day) of lean body weight became the result.
A loss of lean body mass was also characteristic of the ninth period lasting 6 days. The day of the period, an average of 54.2 mg of Stanozolol (Winstrol-V) was administered daily throughout the period. Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) was also taken the first three days in descending fashion, averaging only 15 mg for these few days. The average daily dosage for both drugs was only 61.6 mgs. A total of 2.6 lbs (-.433 lbs / day) of lean body mass was lost during this period. The dosage difference from the previous week did not seem to be significantly reduced. Suspicion may be placed on the characteristics of the descending drug program.
The tenth period lasted 7 days. Beginning the day of the cycle day, an average of 57.1 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) and 57.1 mg of (Stanozolol) Winstrol-V were taken daily throughout the period. Also beginning the same time, 50 mg of Primobolan Depot was administered for 5 days. Methenolone enanthate (Primobolan Depot) was taken daily in this manner out of convenience despite its longer acting quality. An average daily dosage of 157.1 mg of drugs were taken during this period. As a result, 4.8 lbs (.686 lbs / day) of lean body mass was obtained.
The eleventh period lasted 7 days. Beginning the day of the period, an average of 114.3 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was taken daily. Also beginning the same time, 50 mg of Stanozolol (Winstrol-V) was taken daily except for the second and third days of the period. A daily average dosage of 150 mg was taken from both drugs. A loss of 1.6 lbs (-.229 lbs) of lean body weight was the result.
No Drugs were taken after one day before the physique competition. This was done because Anadrol taken preceding the show was thought to contribute to subcutaneous water retention. No other drug was taken due to convenience and the relatively small contribution an administration was thought to have the day preceding the show.
Since fat reduction was not as great of a concern the last week, the total caloric intake was increased slightly in attempt to allow adequate calories for recovery and increased glycogen stores. Resistive training was stopped four days before the show in effort to restore glycogen in the muscle. Walking and posing practice were continued. Posing with the aid of a mirror was greatly reduced. Walking was used more as a means of stress management than fat burning activity in the final days before the show. Three days before the show, an effort was made to reduce food volume and maintain an elevated caloric intake by eating less more often in order to reduce abdominal circumference caused by intestinal volume. In addition, foods suspected of causing gas and minor food allergies were eliminated. Foods containing added salt were discontinued two days before the show in an effort to deplete subcutaneous water. Timing was crucial at this point since it was feared that a premature sodium depletion would trigger negative feedback from the body's receptors resulting in a retention of sodium by the body. Tap water was also replaced by distilled water two days before the show to ensure a reduced sodium intake. Posing was increased two days before the show in an effort to expel subcutaneous water. Water intake was increased the day before the show in an attempt to inhibit Anti-diuretic Hormone produced in the body. Approximately six ounces of beer were consumed the evening before the show as to further inhibit Anti-diuretic hormone in an effort to deplete subcutaneous water.
Water was consumed sparingly upon arising the morning of the show to maintain the diuretic effects noted after slumber. A suppository laxative was used the morning of the show in effort to further reduce inter-intestinal volume. Water was consumed as desired approximately an hour or so before the morning prejudging. On the morning of the contest, a total body weight of 226 lbs was recorded from a scale used for competition weigh in. Minor cramping was experienced with virtually no effect upon posing performance. Moderate sweating was noted on stage with little hindrance on appearance. The subject won his weight class and the overall competition, therefore qualifying for national competition.
The twelfth period lasted seven days. The day of the period, 150 mg of Winstrol-V was administered. No other administrations of Winstrol-V or any other drug was taken during this period in anticipation of possible drug testing. The physique contest discussed above was on the second day of this period. A loss of 1.4 lbs (-.2 lbs / day) of lean body mass was noted at the end of this period.
Little data was recorded the thirteenth period which lasted five days. Approximately the same dietary and exercise modifications used before the last competition were practiced before the national competition. Abstinence from anabolic-androgenic steroids was continued throughout this period lasting up until four days prior to national competition. Defend (Power Distributors, Marina Del Rey, CA) was taken before drug testing as directed by the manufacturer. A "weigh-in" and a "random drug test" was scheduled three days prior to the event. The subject was not selected for testing, but was measured at 230 lbs on the scale used for official weigh in. On the same day, immediately after "weigh-in", 300 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was consumed throughout the remainder of the day. The following day, 200 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was consumed, followed by 150 mg the next day.
Finally, 50 mg of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was taken on the day of the show. No body weight was taken on the actual day of the show. Excessive sweating was experienced during prejudging which negatively affected appearance.
The subject broke his contest diet soon after the conclusion of the final competition. A few days after the nationals, a body weight of 238 lbs was reported.

The twisted, Orwellian language of gender identity propagandists
Gender identity politics are the new black, at least for the increasingly radical left. Daring to "misgender" someone is practically a hanging offense, and studies show that the number of young people who identify as "trans" is on the rise. But what the mainstream media won't tell you is that the number of people who regret undergoing "gender confirmation" surgery is rising, too. Nor will the Left ever admit that their shifty, Orwellian dialogue on the subject of gender is part of the problem. The twisted language being used by gender identity propagandists is a tool intended to subvert the notion of gender entirely.
Language is a powerful, yet under-recognized, tool in the game of politics and government. It's simple: By controlling the words people use to talk about gender identity, propagandists ultimately gain control of the narrative — and further, are able to influence the way people think and feel about gender identity. George Orwell illustrated the power of language in 1984, a dystopian fiction novel about an authoritarian regime that uses linguistic manipulation to further its agenda.
From 1984:
"The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink"
Orwell, famously, was a left-winger himself — and it is truly ironic that the modern Left is using the concept of doublethink as inspiration for their game of political chess. Orwell was keenly aware of the fact that language plays a substantial role in our thoughts and opinions.
Unraveling the linguistic tools of "gender identity"
"Gender identity" ultimately assumes that gender is nothing more than a social construct, and that a person, regardless of their biological sex, can "choose" to be a different gender, or to have no gender at all.
The use of the term "gender identity" in and of itself implies that one's "identity" can differ from their biological sex. Phrases like "assigned gender at birth" and "gender confirmation surgery" further this belief. Whether we realize it or not, these terms are increasingly being used to condition society into acceptance. Specifically, accepting the idea that gender is negotiable, or even "fake."
Gender Spectrum claims that most children have a solid understanding of their "gender identity" by age four. It'd be impressive if a four-year-old could even spell gender identity, let alone understand the concept.
For the record, studies show that between 80 and 95 percent of "trans" kids will go on to accept their biological gender as they get older.
As The Cut reports:
Researchers don't know why that is, but it appears that in some kids, nascent homo- or bisexuality manifests itself as gender dysphoria. In others, gender dysphoria can arise as a result of some sort of trauma or other unresolved psychological issue, and goes away either with time or counseling.
Normalizing the extreme
"Gender confirmation surgery" is particularly concerning, as it is now a common and accepted form of "treatment" for people who identify as transgender. This is frightening because no doctor would ever condone the removal of body parts as a treatment for virtually any other psychiatric condition.
Until 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) considered being transgender a mental health issue. It is now called a "sexual health" issue. WHO itself notes that they changed their language on transgender identities to help bolster society's acceptance.
While personal liberty and freedom is of utmost importance, there is an increasing body of evidence that physically addressing "trans" identities is not the best course of action (though it may be the most profitable).
Estimates suggest that at least one-fifth of patients who undergo surgery ultimately experience regret. This is especially true for children, who are often prescribed hormones or puberty blockers at young ages, despite overwhelming evidence that it is unnecessary and potentially harmful in the long-term.
Many would argue that "gender confirmation surgery" is not that far removed from genital mutilation – which, ironically, leftists are also pushing to normalize. But under the propaganda scheme, mutilation is now "confirmation."
Erasing gender leads to erasing the self
Overall, the narrative on gender identity is designed to be as confounding as possible. Gender Spectrum claims that biological sex represents a negligible portion of overall gender, stating that a person's gender is based on three dimensions: Body, identity and expression. The site argues:
"Most societies view sex as a binary concept, with two rigidly fixed options: male or female, both based on a person's reproductive functions (genitals, sex chromosomes, gonads, hormones, reproductive structures). But a sex binary fails to capture even the biological aspect of gender. While most bodies have one of two forms of genitalia, which are classified as "female" or "male," there are naturally occurring intersex conditions that demonstrate that sex exists across a continuum of possibilities. This biological spectrum by itself should be enough to dispel the simplistic notion of the "Gender binary"- there are not just two sexes.
While it is not someone's fault if they are born with a genetic condition or chromosomal disorder that causes them to display intersex traits, it is hardly "proof" of anything — except the fact that human reproduction is not an exact science. Genetic and chromosomal disorders are the result of mutations or other abnormalities. Abnormalities exist across nature, but we don't go changing our entire understanding of anatomy just because a pair of Siamese twins was born.
Gender identity propagandists are suggesting that biology as we know it be changed to accommodate a group that makes up 0.6 percent of the entire U.S. population. The invention of more "neutral" and vague terminology is designed to increase confusion among the young, as well as to obscure biological truth. The advancement of "gender identity" propaganda will serve the Left in a myriad of ways: It's a divisive political tool, for one — and it subverts humanity as we know it.
If gender roles are successfully erased, the erasure of self and individualism is soon to follow.

Carillion's administrators are to pocket £44.2 million in public cash for its work handling the aftermath of the Wolverhampton based firm's collapse over the past year.
PwC has also been criticised for a potential conflict of interest in its role managing the Carillion bankruptcy owing to its work for Carillion's pension schemes and subsidiaries before the collapse.
The company was appointed by the Government to work with the Official Receiver to help minimise disruption and costs in the wake of Carillion's collapse.
Frank Field, head of the Parliamentary work and pensions committee, said: "A year on from Carillion's demise there was still nothing to stop greedy, ruthless or just complacent directors taking a one-way bet with the livelihoods and pensions of their workers, with their small business suppliers and with the UK taxpayer.
Outsourcing and construction group Carillion – which had its base in Salop Street – entered liquidation on January 15 last year with liabilities of nearly £7 billion.
PwC still has 38 people working on the insolvency, down from 155 last year, and is charging an average rate of £345 per hour.
It has so far recovered £413m of assets.
A PwC spokesman said: "The Official Receiver applied to the Court to appoint PwC to resource a liquidation of exceptional size and complexity as quickly and effectively as possible.
"We helped keep public services, such as the maintenance of prisons, hospitals, roads and schools, running safely across the country - minimising the disruption caused by the collapse - while transferring contracts and saving thousands of jobs.
"Without this work the cost to UK jobs, the economy and the taxpayer would have been considerably higher.
"From the outset it has been clear that PwC's fees for assisting the Official Receiver on the liquidation of Carillion are subject to scrutiny and approval by the Official Receiver and the Court."
