Chelsea's £60m blockbuster move for Juventus and France star Paul Pogba is back on after the Italian giants entered the race to sign Barcelona striker Alexis Sanchez.
Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has consistently stated the 21-year-old will be staying in Turin but Juventus need to sell players before they can buy, according to the Evening Standard.
With Arsenal and Liverpool also interested in the Chile star, Pogba is the most saleable asset they have. Sanchez will cost around £30m but Antonio Conte is also interested in Argentina's Angel Di Maria and Colombia's Juan Cuadrado as he looks to strengthen a squad that has won the Scudetto in three successive years but failed to get out of the Champions League group stage last season.
Jose Mourinho has already spent £60million this summer on Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa but he wants more strength in Chelsea's midfield.
Significantly, the Serie A club are also looking at buying Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku and have registered an interest in Ramires.
Chelsea: Potential summer transfer targets
1/9Chelsea: Potential summer transfer targets
Former Manchester United midfielder was spotted in west London setting the rumour mill into overdrive. The classy French midfielder, still just 21, impressed at the World Cup and has been linked with a blockbuster £60m move to Stamford Bridge, despite the recent arrival of Cesc Fabregas. However, he is also linked with a move to Manchester City as a potential replacement for Yaya Toure.

Adrien Rabiot
The talented teen put clubs in Europe on alert after rejecting a contract offer from Paris Saint-Germain. Chelsea made a move for the Frenchman in January and have gone back in for him, even though he is highly rated by PSG coach Laurent Blanc.
The German midfielder missed five months for Real Madrid's season with a knee injury and has played just 15 games this term. With Madrid reportedly interested in signing new players in central midfield, Khedira's future at the Bernabeu could be at an end. The 27-year-old is interesting Arsenal, but should Chelsea go in for him too, they would be getting a player that Mourinho knows well and real quality in front of the back four, not dissimilar to club legend Claude Makelele.
Yaya Toure
An outside bet, of course, but with all the drama surrounding the Toure and Manchester City recently, Chelsea could swoop. A powerhouse of a midfielder with a surprisingly deft touch and devastating skill at the dead ball, the 31-year-old would be huge assent to any team in the world. Toure cost City £24million in 2010, so any offer would have to huge from Chelsea if they are to persuade the Sky Blues to sell to a title rival.
Tottenham's summer signing hasn't quite lived up to the form he reached in Brazil's Confederations Cup victory in 2013 and struggled at the World Cup, but he has still performed well enough to have Chelsea and Real Madrid reportedly interested in acquiring his services. The 25-year-old would fit in well at Stamford Bridge given the Blues' strong Brazilian contingent already. Paulinho had a mixed first season in the Premier League, scored six goals with three assists last season and not the return Spurs were hoping for, and the lure of Champions League football could persuade the midfielder to switch London clubs.
Fabio Coentrao
With Ashley Cole having joined Roma and Ryan Bertrand also likely to leave, Jose Mourinho will be in need of a quality, experienced left-back and one possibility is Real Madrid's Coentrao. The 26-year-old came close to joining Manchester United in January and is likely to lose his starting place at Madrid when Marcelo is fully fit again next season. Carlo Ancelotti denies any rumours that the Portuguese defender will leave but if the right offer were to be made by Chelsea, he could be on his way to London and nail down a starting role with ease.
After a season of playing in the shadow of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at PSG, Cavani looks likely to leave the French side after just one year and become the main man at an English club next season. Chelsea remain interested in the Uruguayan but Chelsea are despite a deal for Diego Costa already complete, but may face competition from Manchester United. The 27-year-old cost PSG €64.5million last summer, so any offer from Mourinho would take a large slice of his funds but with his striking power and goals an almost guarantee, it could be a risk worth going for.
The Colombian striker did not regain fitness in time for the World Cup but it has given him a good chance to weigh up his future. Seemingly always in transfer rumours despite his €60m switch to Monaco last summer, Falcao is a long-term target of the Blues, though Diego Costa has filled the previously vacant No 9 role. The 28-year-old lit up La Liga during his two seasons with Atlectico Madrid but, mainly because of injury, has failed to live up to his price tag in France. If unrest reports are true, Chelsea could attempt an offer.
Raphael Varane
Reportedly unhappy at Real Madrid due to his low wages in comparison to his team-mates, the centre back has been linked with a move away. Chelsea are reportedly one of the clubs interested in the France international with Jose Mourinho seeing him as a long-term replacement for John Terry.
Manchester United target Arturo Vidal is another who could be moved on to raise cash.
Juventus will demand a minimum of £60m for Pogba and Chelsea face stiff competition from Paris St-Germain and Manchester City for the former United midfielder.
Pogba, who has two years left on his contract, impressed for France during their run to the World Cup quarter-finals. Mourinho still has money to spend and can raise revenue for what would be a club-record signing by selling fringe members in the squad. Chelsea are also prepared to listen to offers for John Obi Mikel and Ramires.
The Blues had also been looking at Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos and offered him a contract worth £135,000 a week.
However, Kroos has set his heart on a move to Real Madrid and the Spanish club believe they will complete a £19.8m deal after the World Cup, despite giving the Germany international significantly reduced terms of £76,000 a week.
Chelsea begin pre-season training on Thursday, although the majority of their players will not report for duty because they were involved at the World Cup.
Lukaku is going on holiday after Belgium's exit and he will have talks over his future on his return. The striker has spent the last two seasons on loan at West Brom and Everton respectively and is looking for regular first-team football.
Lukaku said: "I have a few ideas but we'll see. I have to have discussions first and have to think about it. I want to go home and then I will decide. I want to be somewhere where I can play my best football and hopefully win titles."

You've got to love any shopping list that starts with a leather biker jacket. The 'Yarrow' jacket from Muubaa is beyond. Follow that up with the next pick at bat, the twisted bracelet from Iosselliani, and there's your color for the day. After there, the list segues into the world of accessories with a classic everyday satchel and tough-stuff pair of Pedro Garcia heels. Finally, a printed shirt from Thakoon Addition that pulls off a strong print in a very wearable way.
This jacket is my budget's kryptonite and Muubaa is my new addiction.
I love how you can get all of that color into a twisted metallic bracelet. It's a substantial piece, and totally different from anything else I've seen out there.
The Chloe heels from Pedro Garcia are the kind of shoes you either love or hate (although, I'm not sure how anyone couldn't love 'em, hence them making the list). I happen to love the gladiator-esque-ness of it all back to a skinny leg pant or legging.
This is the perfect everyday satchel at a price you will not be able to beat. I realize that line is borderline informercial-sounding, but it's totally true. Click through to see it worn crossbody style as well. Bonus round.
This silk shirt is a whole lot of print. I'd recommend pairing it back to something simple. A brick red skinny jean would work well.
Right, so I'm putting a Lady Gaga quote on the site, not because Gaga said it, although I'm a fan. It found it's way onto this post because it bears repeating.
There is one thing I'd like to edit though. I'd like to substitute 'others' for the word 'men.' I think it works just as well.
Follow the leader is a game best left on the school playground. There's so much more to be learned by listening to, rather than following others. Take what you like, toss the rest, and go with your gut. It's the only thing that will get you where you, yes you (not them), want to go. In other words, you are your own North Star.
Today's Shopping List a.k.a Five of My Favorite Things, Trust.
Today's shopping hit list is making me extraordinarily happy. I love all of my lists, but every now and then, one just seems to come together, the products (stars) align, and there's something that makes me want to scroll up and down again and again. Completely mesmerized.
Ob-sessed, and I am NOT, repeat, NOT alone. The all-caps situation is meant to inspire you to get a sense of shopping urgency because I'm not sure at all how long these heels are going to be around unless they do a re-order. Which, eh hem, Free People peeps, you may want to consider. Just call J. Campbell and see if he has a few orders that cancelled with the big guys right? Just sayin. It's the buying office in me rearing it's ugly, yet oh-so-stylishly-coiffed head yet again.
Should you ever need a pick-me-up on a rainy, cloudy, overcast day, here's your shirt. Keep whatever you pair with this boyshirt from Madewell toned down to a minimum so you don't throw every color in the spectrum at the eyes of on-lookers. Less is more, and three brightly saturated colors on this silk shirt are plenty. Yum.
Shout out to all the control freaks out there, I get you, you're my people, but seriously people, we need to lighten up a bit, live a little, I'm talking baby steps here. Five minutes to day dream, an hour reading a book, taking an unknown route to work, or god forbid incorporating color into your all-black, all-sad-face wardrobe.
Loosen up the grip, let something bigger take over, and trust that when you need to pull the emergency brake, make the move, take the leap, you will (totally quoting my good friend Justin on that one, so cheers to you).
How to do this? Do something. Reference the list above or just go for something you can't know the outcome of, I'm talking small here just to start. It's like a mini-trust fall, sans actual fall and arms smacking into your back during a camp exercise post-ropes course.
Either way, if you don't let go, you won't know that everything will be ok. If you don't know that everything will be ok (usually because you can make it so by using you're very own thoughts inside you're very capable brain), you won't let go, and so goes the cycle. Let life show up for you, you can always grab the reins again tomorrow.
One of my favorite pieces to the not-so-complicated StyleShaker puzzle would have to be the dynamic shopping lists. They are all hand-picked pieces living in the StyleShaker Closet, that run the gamut across all fashion categories from shoes to dresses, tops to denim, jackets to jewelry, and the list really does go on.
When I go into a store for myself or my clients, I hit the ground running like I would at my Whole Foods down the street (shout out). The list is a crucial part to this, telling me what I'm looking for and where to get it. Sure, there's definitely playing-dress-up moments and random browsing, what's life without things like that right? But the list keeps me on point, focused and able to walk out of wherever I am (or sometimes click out since this girl loves her on-line shopping) feeling good about what is on it's way to me or in the bag I'm obnoxiously swinging from my hand (there may be skipping involved, but that usually happens when I'm with my clients/friends and there's wine involved).
My second favorite thing about The StyleShaker you ask? The people I get to meet. Collaboration is key and brings amazing ideas and outside perspectives to the table. Whenever someone asks to contribute to the site, the first step is usually them submitting their wishlist/shopping list from our hand-picked, heavily edited 'Closet' of goodies. I always love to see how it comes together, and this time around is no exception.
Tori and I met via IFB and she was kind enough to send over her own Hit List, aka top 10 picks and why she fell in love with each. She pulled together this fabulous montage in her Generations Collective aesthetic (which is why I had to have her as a contributor on the site in the first place), so check it out and read about why Tori chose each piece below. Oh, and shop of course!
Fall is just around the corner. For someone like me who loves the Summer, it's a little bittersweet, but there are some things I'm looking forward to in the coming season. Being able to wear faux fur and flared pants are immediately what come to mind, along with Fall colors and fabrics. I've chosen some favorite pieces from Style Shakers' "What to Wear" that reminded me of the feeling and vibes I'm looking forward to in Autumn.
Like I said, flares flares flares. I am crazy about bell bottoms, and these ones are a great color for Summer and Fall. Add a high waist and I'm in love.
If you know me at all you know that I am obsessed with florals. I don't care which season, what the weather, I will be wearing florals. I think this is an adorable floral dress, a great transition piece.
I can't get over how beautiful this is. The movement, the color, Fall fashion at it's finest.
Another love of mine: shearling. I love the aviator style of this jacket. Nothing is more perfect for Fall than leather and fur in one.
I have been obsessed with wooden heels lately. I adore the look of them, and they are perfect for autumn- the color, and wood reminds me of the trees and the falling leaves.
I love the color of these earrings, they're so bright and fun and could add life to any outfit.
I adore this dress. I instantly loved it because I thought of it as a perfect transition piece in between Summer and Fall. The colors and beautiful and I love the leafy looking print on the bodice.
I LOVE faux fur. So far I own two faux fur coats but I cannot get enough. This is one is a great Autumn color too.
I am crazy about the print of this dress. The print plus the colors scream "Fall".
And there you have it. Tori's shopping list, her top ten picks, and hopefully some inspiration for you, the reader, because at the end of the day, that is what it's all about.

Lions open 2016 preseason with new radio broadcaster, new left tackle, but no Megatron
Bill Shea
Taylor Decker, the No. 16 overall pick by the Lions in this year's NFL draft, signed a four-year, $10.9 million contract that included a $6.1 million signing bonus.
Who: Detroit Lions vs. Pittsburgh Steelers When: 7 p.m. Where: Heinz Field TV: WJBK Channel 2 and NFL Network Radio: WJR-AM 760
The Detroit Lions open the 2016 preseason Friday night at the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the game — or revenue-generating glorified scrimmage, if you're a cynic — will be the debut of the team's new left tackle and its new radio broadcaster.
Calvin Johnson
It also will be the first game after nine seasons without all-galaxy wide receiver Calvin Johnson on the roster.
In November, the Lions announced they had struck a deal for 50,000-watt news/talk station WJR-AM 760 to broadcast their games live, replacing CBS Radio Inc.-owned WXYT-FM 97.1 "The Ticket," which had aired the games since 2004. Terms of the five-year deal between the Lions and Atlanta-based Cumulus Media Inc. were not disclosed.
The switch came amid accusations that the team was trying to stifle on-air criticism at WXYT, a charge the Lions denied. The team said the switch was made because the contract was up and WJR offered better terms.
The broadcast booth remains the same despite the station switch: Dan Miller is still doing play-by-play and Jim Brandstatter is the color commentator. Longtime sideline reporter Tony Ortiz remained with WXYT. As of this point, WJR doesn't have a sideline reporter, said Tom O'Brien, Cumulus' vice president and market manager for Detroit.
WJR this week hired Sean Baligian as co-host (with Steve Courtney) for the station's Lions pregame and postgame shows, The Detroit News reported.
The Lions and WJR have a long history: George Richards bought WJR in 1929 and five years later headed a group that bought the Portsmouth Spartans in Ohio for $8,000 and relocated the team to Detroit as the Lions in time for the 1934 season. WJR broadcast Lions games 1948-88, when the radio rights moved to CBS Radio-owned WWJ-AM 950.
On TV, Friday night's game at Heinz Field will air live on WJBK Ch. 2 and on the NFL Network.
On the field, fans will get their first look at rookie left tackle Taylor Decker, the No. 16 overall pick by the Lions in this year's NFL draft. The Ohio State product replaces Reily Reiff at the position. Reiff moves to right tackle after three seasons at left.
Decker, 21, in May signed a fully guaranteed four-year, $10.9 million contract that included a $6.1 million signing bonus. His base salary this season is $450,000.
Unless he's a late scratch, making his Lions debut Friday will be veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who signed a one-year, $2.75 million free-agent contract this summer after 13 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, and San Francisco 49ers.
Boldin will try to ameliorate the loss of Johnson, who in March made official his desire, hinted at for awhile, that he wanted to retire after nine grueling seasons as one of the best wideouts in league history. Known as Megatron, he holds almost all of the Lions' receiver records, and his departure means Detroit will be spending the preseason trying to develop an offense that doesn't revolve around Johnson's formidable presence.
On Friday, Detroit won't play tight end Eric Ebron, who is recovering from an ankle injury, and running back Ameer Abdullah, who is coming off January shoulder surgery. Other starters could be held out as well. Quarterback Matthew Stafford will get limited playing time.
Fans also won't see Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The 34-year-old, now in his 13th season, is sitting out Friday night along with running backs Le'Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams, wide receiver Antonio Brown and center Maurkice Pouncey.
Instead of Roethlisberger, fans will be treated to the quarterback stylings of Bruce Gradkowski and Landry Jones. It's not uncommon that starters are held out of the more meaningless preseason games to preserve their health or allow them to heal. The third preseason game (teams usually play four) traditionally is the dress rehearsal for the regular season and starters play well into the second half.
The Lions and Steelers held joint practices this week in suburban Pittsburgh.
Rod Wood
Friday's game also marks the beginning of the first full season for team President Rod Wood, hired in November after owner Martha Firestone Ford ousted top team executive Tom Lewand —since hired as CEO of Detroit watchmaker Shinola — and the entire front office was either replaced or shuffled.
Detroit plays its first preseason game at Ford Field at 7:30 p.m. Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fans will get their first look at the team's $1.5 million renovation to its team store that day.
The regular season begins with a 4:25 p.m. game Sept. 11 at the Indianapolis Colts, and the first home game for Detroit is 1 p.m. Sept. 18 against the Tennessee Titans.

dc.description.abstract Trinucleotide repeat expansions are responsible for at least two dozen neurological disorders. Mechanisms leading to these large expansions of repeated DNA are still poorly understood. It was proposed that transient stalling of the replication fork by the repeat tract might trigger slippage of the newly-synthesized strand over its template, leading to expansions or contractions of the triplet repeat. However, such mechanism was never formally proven. Here we show that replication fork pausing and CAG/CTG trinucleotide repeat instability are not linked, stable and unstable repeats exhibiting the same propensity to stall replication forks when integrated in a yeast natural chromosome. We found that replication fork stalling was dependent on the integrity of the mismatch-repair system, especially the Msh2p-Msh6p complex, suggesting that direct interaction of MMR proteins with secondary structures formed by trinucleotide repeats in vivo, triggers replication fork pauses. We also show by chromatin immunoprecipitation that Msh2p is enriched at trinucleotide repeat tracts, in both stable and unstable orientations, this enrichment being dependent on MSH3 and MSH6. Finally, we show that overexpressing MSH2 favors the formation of heteroduplex regions, leading to an increase in contractions and expansions of CAG/CTG repeat tracts during replication, these heteroduplexes being dependent on both MSH3 and MSH6. These heteroduplex regions were not detected when a mutant msh2-E768A gene in which the ATPase domain was mutated was overexpressed. Our results unravel two new roles for mismatch-repair proteins: stabilization of heteroduplex regions and transient blocking of replication forks passing through such repeats. Both roles may involve direct interactions between MMR proteins and secondary structures formed by trinucleotide repeat tracts, although indirect interactions may not be formally excluded.

Greg E. Donnell, 56 of Fort Wayne passed away at home on March 16, 2019.
He was born on June 19, 1962 in Hicksville.
He was a 1980 graduate of Antwerp High School and worked at Enterprise Rental Car.
Greg will be sadly missed by his father, Jim; son, Greg Bell; brother, Scott; nieces & nephew, Kelli (Pat) Sidey, Haylee & Scott; special friend, Sherry Fiske and her children, Zachary & Travis Sanchez & Shane Hull.
Greg was preceded in death by his mother, Teresa (Reynolds) and sister, Lorrie Baker.
Greg's family will receive friends on Saturday, 9 am to NOON at Dooley Funeral Home, 202 W. River Street, Antwerp, Ohio to share stories and fond memories.
He will be laid to rest privately at Maumee Cemetery.
Memorials are to Dooley Funeral Home, PO Box 452, Antwerp 45813.
All who knew Greg Donnell would agree that he was truly a man of great integrity. Driven and hardworking, he had a zest for life. Greg had so much of which to be proud, but he was humble in everything he set out to accomplish. A loving son, brother, and uncle, he held a strong love for his family. He savored their special times together and looked forward to sharing in their every success over the years. Generous beyond measure, there simply wasn't anything he wouldn't do for someone in need. Gone too soon, he leaves behind a wonderful collection of memories that will surely live on in the hearts of his many special friends and loved ones.
The 1960s were characterized by great social changes. Many Americans believed they were standing at the dawn of a golden age. At the beginning of this promising decade in our nation's history, folk music was evolving thanks to young artists like Bob Dylan and the birth of The Beach Boys grew in popularity. Meanwhile, in England, The Beatles were exploding the music industry. Born June 19, 1962, in Hicksville, Ohio, Greg was sandwiched between his older sister, Lorrie, and younger brother, Scott. His birth gave his parents much hope and happiness during an era known for its optimism.
Growing up in Antwerp, Greg lived a typical childhood of the times. He was especially close with his siblings and looked up to his big sister, Lorrie. The two of them were most content when they were enjoying a warm meal from their Grandma Regina who was known to make the most delicious dinners. As a family, they enjoyed traveling together. They toured the Great Smoky Mountains as well as made it over the Mackinac Bridge. Many of their memories from those years were traveling to and from Minnesota to visit their Aunt Judy. A special highlight was taking in a professional Cincinnati Reds baseball game. Greg was born with a natural ability for athletics. He enjoyed playing football during his junior high years and has loved the sport ever since! Faithful to his birthplace, he proudly cheered for his Ohio State Buckeyes season after season! Graduating with the Class of 1980 from Antwerp High School, Greg entered the world of work. His easy-going personality made him a friend to many and a stranger to none. He landed at Enterprise Rental Car where he remained happily employed for many years and was well liked by his co-workers.
Always someone who enjoyed keeping busy, Greg had many unique interests over the years. He was an avid stamp collector and enjoyed organizing them and researching their importance. Season after season, he also continued his strong interest in everything football. Sundays were a sacred time for watching or listening to games and he was especially thrilled this year when the Buckeyes won their championship and his favorite professional team, the LA Rams went to Superbowl LIII at the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta! Although they lost to the New England Patriots, he could not be more proud! When it came to music, Greg savored the music of his twenties and still loved to jam to ACDC.
Above all else, Greg enjoyed being around people. People were his passion. Anytime he was surrounded by his family or friends, he was most content. He enjoyed grilling out with his close friend, Ryan Potts and his neighbor, Tim. Over the years he enjoyed hanging out with Sherry's kids. He was especially patient with Zachary, helping him with homework years ago. Zach returned the favor, helping Greg with yardwork and other things he was unable to do himself. He wanted nothing more than the happiness and success of others. Greg leaves behind a rich legacy of living life to the fullest. Described as hilarious as well as kind-hearted, there is no doubt that he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. May his warm collection of memories touch their hearts forever.

See I told you yesterday was my last Hawaii post!
Today, I am talking about lace.
First, the lace in my outfit yesterday; leopard and lace. I am still wearing my black lace shorts but now I get to wear them without tights and booties! It's finally warm enough to do it and I actually have a tiny little tan on my legs so they don't frighten people (as much). This will be short lived as the peeling has begun. Awesome!
Second, I have been so lucky to work with some amazing bloggers who have been so awesome helping me promote my lace necklaces.
As I showed you guys last week, Hallie had her entire wedding party wearing yellow lace necklaces and was awesome enough to do a contest on her blog last week.
Then Niki from Glossy Blonde wore her new neon yellow necklace in her vlog yesterday.
And what's even more exciting?? There will be at least THREE more fun features and giveaways coming up in the next few weeks! Yay!!
With all that said, I really want to thank all of you for being so amazing and helping me sell and promote my fun little hobby. I love seeing my necklaces on all of you beautiful ladies and cannot wait to see more in the near future.
Happy Friday friends. I hope you guys have an awesome weekend.
Those lace shorts are really pretty! I'm jealous you can wear them without tights...it's still too cold here. Hope you have a great weekend!
Isn;t is SO fun to see people wear the necklaces that you created- Such rewarding experience! I wore mine yesterday to work and got several compliments! Woohoo! Have a great weekend, Jill!
Love the leopard with the lace shorts. And those shoes are so cute. Yay for your necklaces!
Such a cute outfit! I ADORE my black lace shorts and am always looking for new ways to wear them!
Aw thank you for the shout outs! I love my necklaces so much!!! And I love the leopard and lace! I just bought a pair of lace shorts in cream! Now if only the weather would get warmer so I can wear them!
Gorgeous pictures! You look fabulous.
It's always 5:00 somewhere! I love the leopard and lace together. What a fun outfit!
Such a good song! Takes me back to senior year and college! That song just never gets old!
wow, love those gorgeous yellow lace necklaces! Would be such a fabulous punch to any Spring outfit!

Q: Time difference in consecutive rows I have this df

01/04/2018;CM129;CM;A
01/04/2018;CM129;CM;A

I want to calculate the month interval between consecutive dates for each code.
I did
df$mes_ano <- as.Date(df$mes_ano, format = "%d/%m/%Y")

df <- df %>%
  group_by(code) %>%
  mutate(diff = strptime(mes_ano, "%d/%m/%Y") - lag(strptime(mes_ano, "%d/%m/%Y"), default = strptime(mes_ano, "%d/%m/%Y") [1]))

But the new column only has NA

A: The 'mes_ano' is already converted to Date class (based on the data, the column is named 'date').  So, the strptime with the format wouldn't work.  Instead of strptime, it is better to use as.POSIXct and without using the first conversion to Date class
library(dplyr)
df %>%
    mutate(date = as.POSIXct(date, format = '%d/%m/%Y')) %>%
    group_by(code) %>%
    mutate(diff = date - lag(date, default = first(date)))

-output
# A tibble: 13 x 5

for better control of the units, use difftime
df %>%
    mutate(date = as.POSIXct(date, format = '%d/%m/%Y')) %>%
    group_by(code) %>%
    mutate(diff = difftime(date, lag(date, default = first(date)), unit = 'days'))

3D Printed Houses – The Future of Home Building?
Will we all be heading to a printer rather than a builder in the future when we need a new home?
3D printing is one of the most talked-about technologies of this decade. Some consider it to be the beginning of the third industrial revolution, while others point out the constraints of the technique. So how innovative is 3D printing, and is it the way we'll design our homes in future? Below, we explore the status of 3D printing worldwide, find delicate resin pavilions in China, classical design-inspired concrete beams in Italy and buildings that 'think' in Germany.
The technology of 3D printing was invented by Chuck Hull, an American engineer. He initially called the new process stereolithography, and patented it in 1986. It was a technique that linked molecules using laser light to form polymers into solid shapes.
When it was introduced, industries such as automotive manufacturing used it for what became known as rapid prototyping. The advantage was that no moulds were required, and there was no waste, unlike in milling, when a shape was cut and the material around it was discarded. In 3D printing, objects are constructed layer by layer. The idea comes from printing with ink, which lies on top of the paper. If the process was repeated time and again, but with more solid materials and a slight shift to create movements in the layers, a 3D printing effect would take place.
Materials now used in the process range from the more common synthetic resins and plastics to steel and concrete. Some are experimenting with natural materials, such as bamboo, wood and natural stone waste. Small versions of 3D printers are now finding their way into designers' studios, schools and private homes.
But some synthetic materials used for printing are suspected of emitting toxins. In the course of an experiment, a doctoral student at the University of California at Riverside found that her zebra fish were dying in the container she had printed. A research team that then tested the products of two of the most common 3D printers discovered the toxicity levels of both were quite alarming. Researchers worldwide are working to find safe materials and techniques and caution that the printers should be used in well-ventilated places.
China is a country where superlatives are considered signs of progress. So it should come as no surprise that the largest printed architectural object was created in China. Vulcan, a pavilion (seen in this image), was revealed to visitors from all over the world during Beijing Design Week 2015. It was designed by architects Xu Feng and Yu Lei. However, it was not printed all in one piece. Its curved form was assembled from 1,023 individual components; it is 8.08m long and 2.88m high, all produced by a printer.
Although this achievement was rewarded with an entry in Guinness World Records, it also shows the limits of today's 3D printing technology: to print entire houses, the printers would have to be gigantic or run on huge scaffolds. Scale is the reason why 3D printing is still in its infancy where architecture is concerned.
In Amsterdam, though, DUS Architects is in the process of printing a canal house, layer by layer, using bioplastics made from 80% vegetable oil. The project, which aims to be renewable and sustainable, is slated to be finished in 2017.
She is referring to a project by the Chinese company Winsun, which has printed houses made from concrete and recycled construction materials in China. It's one of the most cited examples in this context. The manufacturer reports considerable savings: 60% less material, 70% less time and 80% less labour compared with average house construction. The printer is set up in a factory and has gigantic proportions: 6.1m tall x 10.1m wide x 40.2m long.
The British architecture firm Foster & Partners, together with the European Space Agency, might disagree with Hotze about travels to the moon, however, as they are developing ideas for 3D printing a lunar base station for a project called Lunar Habitation, which they hope will be completed as early as 2024.
Though not quite as ambitious as the moon base project of Foster & Partners, the bridge construction project in Amsterdam, on which designer Joris Laarman is collaborating with MX3D, a developer of steel printers, and CAD developer Autodesk, is certainly a prestigious one.
Even though this image suggests the steel bridge is being constructed on-site on the Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal, it is really being manufactured inside a hall. The bridge has been printing at MX3D since autumn 2015. It's a trial and error process that's attempting to find ways to print the entire structure in one piece. Printing is scheduled to be completed by 2017. That's when the first fully functional printed steel bridge is slated to be installed on-site – another race for a world record.
This little sample shows what the entire steel bridge will look like once 3D printing is done. Two advantages of printing steel are that the shapes can be more organic and free-flowing than in normal production and that moulds aren't needed, which reduces the cost.
In a collaboration between the University of Naples and cutting-edge technology company WASP (World's Advanced Saving Project), the beauty of Italian architecture is combined with a modular building technique.
WASP was founded in 2012 by Italian entrepreneur Massimo Moretti and is pushing sustainable construction methods and in-house fabrication processes. With the University of Naples, they have developed a concrete support that could be printed on a 3D printer and used in building projects.
'The beam is printed in individual pieces. Once the concrete pieces are hardened, reinforcing steel bars (rebars) are externally installed to strengthen the beam and lock the pieces into a monolithic element,' Asprone says.
The next step for WASP? There are plans for printing a pedestrian bridge similar to the one Laarman is working on in the Netherlands, but this one will be made of concrete.
Just like Italian company WASP, Russian manufacturing firm Specavia uses 3D concrete printers in the construction of buildings. Its main clients are building contractors, and CEO Alexander Maslov talks about the complex building components his printers are already able to create.
'The 06044 series printers can print individual building components with a length of up to 12.3m. It's quite sufficient for printing complex shapes for all kinds of towers, arches, dwarf partitions and other decorative elements for a house. We've been printing various decorative landscaping elements, even a small pond and a children's town. The printer can be used for printing stoves, fireplaces, barbecue sets and other fireproof products using kaolin mixes,' he says.
In spite of seeing himself as a pragmatist and not thinking too far ahead, Maslov's assumption is that building techniques like the ones he's employing now will be integrated into regular construction within a few years.
This means, for example, that '3D printing will make geometric complexity in building construction possible without much additional effort or expense. This knowledge in turn informs the design process,' says Menges. Just like the development of the new 3D and static software changed the aesthetic of architecture, so could 3D printing.
Furthermore, printed components can physically have more layers.
'We will have the possibility of creating very complex building components with gradient characteristics. Components could be soft on one end and hard on the other due to different printing materials being used in the course of the printing with a multi-material printer,' Menges says.
Many people even take this idea one step further. 'There is talk about Industry 4.0, which is equivalent to a fourth industrial revolution,' Menges says, 'an interpenetration of the material and the digital world by means of so called cyber-physical systems.' These connect software with mechanical and electronic components via a data infrastructure like the Internet (the catchphrase is the 'Internet of Things'). This sort of building technology would change the way we live, and our daily world, completely.
So should we feel euphoria or caution?
Fans of the new technology put us on the threshold of a new era. If the technology is shared and becomes accessible to everyone – what's known as open hardware – 3D printing could potentially change the world. Product fabrication could move into the living room and there would be less pollution due to the reduced need for transportation of goods.
But as far as architecture is concerned, the size of the projects continues to be an obstacle and the materials needed in the building industry are still being developed for printing. Safety issues also need to be addressed.
Much remains to be explored. We might not be 3D printing homes on the moon any time soon, but the technique will definitely make more complex geometries possible, with building components that can adapt to climate changes, as well as building elements that are assembled from a variety of materials. We can't wait to see what the next development will be.

Q: Error after adding a dependency to an Android application I'm developing an Android application and I'm trying to add a dependency to my pom.xml file:
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.simpleframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>simple-xml</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.7</version>
    </dependency>

I'm not even using it anywhere, but after I add that dependency, when I try to run the application, I get an error:
 Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

 Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*)
 when not building a core library.

Why can't I run it?

A: Try excluding both stax, stax-api and xpp3 from the simple import as explained here:
Android: error including/repacking dependencies which reference javax core classes

A: Dalvik/Android does not allow using javax.* packages. You have to either shade all of them e.g. with the Maven Shade Plugin or better use a dependency that does not do that.
There might be an android specific version of the simple-xml library available. If you need it for soap webservices you might want to take a look at ksoap2-android instead.

State Reports Data Breach For Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Applicants
By Andy Chow • May 20, 2020
Vitalil Vodolazskyl, Shutterstock.com
Originally published on July 29, 2020 12:43 pm
Deloitte, a consulting company contracted by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), is investigating a data breach in the system launched last week to pay benefits to 1099 and self-employed workers. A mass message was sent to applicants letting them know that their personal information was left unconcealed for a period of time.
Ohioans applying for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) were alerted that their names, social security numbers, and addresses were compromised for about an hour. About two dozen unemployment applicants had the ability to view that information.
The data breach was reported by Deloitte, which was contracted by the state to administer the PUA system. The state is calling it a data leak.
"ODJFS holds the confidentiality of claimant data in the highest regard and agreed with the immediate steps Deloitte took to prevent any unauthorized PUA access in the future," ODJFS said in a written statement.
Deloitte says it is investigating the matter and is offering credit monitoring services to all PUA applicants for a year.
The state says there is no evidence of widespread data compromise.

Self-Employed, Independent Contractors Can Now Pre-File For Unemployment Benefits
By Karen Kasler • Apr 24, 2020
Updated: April 27, 2020 7 a.m.
Nearly a million Ohioans, 964,556 people, have filed for unemployment in the last five weeks, more than the combined total in the last two years. But more are coming, as thousands of Ohioans who are self-employed or independent contractors have been waiting to file for unemployment under new federal rules.
Self-Employed And Gig Workers Face Long Waits For Coronavirus Relief Checks
By Vanessa Romo • Apr 17, 2020
Crashing servers, outmoded software and overloaded call centers are some of the obstacles standing between millions of unemployed workers and the financial lifeline the government has promised under the $2 trillion relief package approved late last month.
With every passing week the problem is exacerbated by new waves of jobless or laid-off workers whose paychecks have vanished since the coronavirus pandemic crippled the U.S. economy.


This week's Make it Monday is to make a shaker card. I don't have any confetti; I have small kids, so I don't really want any in my house, but I did find the crack-your-teeth kind of sprinkles that look just like gumballs!
I used my cricut to make the base and lid of the machine out of PTI dp. the background papers are echo park and October Afternoon. The cardbase is PTI rustic cream as is the tag. I think the twine came from Mark's Finest Papers and the tag stamp and sentiment are Unity. The foam came from Walmart, and it was already sticky- yay for that- I don't have a sticker machine!
My kids and I are going to make these as Valentines for their teachers. Off to find more hours in the day!
ADORABLE!!! So cute and the sprinkles for gum balls are just the ticket. I don't have confetti around either. This is put together so well Yea for you!
This is so cute. I love the little gum balls.
Delightful card! Great job on the challenge. The "gum balls " are a perfect choice for a shaker card.
love your card:-) try using Google Chrome. I find I have problems with blogger when I use internet explorer but no problems at all with google chrome. It is a free download - hope it helps!!
I like "gum balls ". Seu cartão é muito lindo. Parabéns!

Of Mice and Men Chapter 7 - original writting.
Of Mice and Men Chapter 7 The sun was low. The sky seemed dull and the trees swayed in the brisk wind, and the leaves rustled. The sound of whistles seemed to echo through the hills and the Gabilan Mountains now looked cold and frightening. The rabbits were burrowing and hiding underground for the night to come. George trundled along the road, accompanied by Slim, rather slowly with past memories going through his mind. Slim finally broke the silence, "You were right to do it George, don't worry." George slowly mumbled a reply, "Mm... Yea..." "Come on lad, we'll go back to the ranch and settle down and we can have a drink of whisky or sumin' before work in the morning." "Yea..." George mumbled again. They got back to the ranch, late into the darkening night and walked steadily through the swinging doors. Slim and George both took off their jackets and placed them on the wall. ...read more.
Candy lay there motionless, with his back up against the bunkhouse and wounds high up on his torso. His face looked unexplainable, for this man deserved not to die, and had some type of confused remark upon his pallid face. George got up and ventured slowly, dragging his feet, around the various bodies; Carlson, Buckett, Frankson. Then he stopped abruptly, standing over a slowly struggling body. He lent down. It was Curley. "I... I nearly.... had them," he blubbered. "Who? George asked promptly. "Those bastard...the bastards who just left!" He coughed heavily and George felt like he could hear the blood spluttering. "The rider that just left?" George continued/ "Ye... yea, those guys. Knowing that his time with George was slowly and desperately coming to an end, he asked George one final question, "Will you get them for me George?" "Yea... I guess" The bleak face in front of him smiled, but then limply dropped to the ground. But, it was different. ...read more.
"How? I only got myself 400 bucks, you need 500 don't you?" Slim questioned. "Well before Candy died, he wrote a will, giving me his possessions if he passed on and that was 350 bucks, so, how about it Slim?" "Ok then, we'll go in early afternoon." They both took their final trips around the ranch, picking up their final things for their new journey to begin. It was a dull summer afternoon, and the sun was visible over the trees. From the exit of the ranch, you could smell the sorrow of the moment, and dust was drifting off of the orange-coated path. They had a few hours of light left to travel in, so they agreed in beginning their journey. Suddenly, some hooded riders came galloping into view, like a pack of angry bulls, and as they got closer every second, they pulled out their guns and fired. It narrowly missed, and about 10 more riders pulled out their weaponry. Was this the end for George... but he noticed as they came into view, for they were not the bad boys from up north... they were the Soledad Police! By Josh Gill 10 S2 ...read more.

"I cannot believe this," said George, "he's never thought for himself before". Lennie had run into the forest and hidden in the brush right where Lennie had told him to go if anything had happened, which it had, and he had actually done it!
Of Mice and Men - Full Summary and Analysis
She is an obvious tramp, likely having an affair only weeks into her marriage. When she meets George and Lennie, she shamelessly flirts with them, comically thrusting out her breasts. There is more than a trace of sexism in this character.
He tells Slim how he and Lennie grew up in the same town. Lennie's parents are never mentioned, only his Aunt Clara who raised him. When she died Lennie just started to come along with George. At first George played tricks on Lennie, because he was so dumb he would do anything he was told, without even thinking about it.
Compared to all the other characters in the novel, Curley has a different attitude towards Slim and Carlson. He can't really control them even though he is the boss's son. The reason being, both of them are different compared to the other workers in the bunkhouse.

Prosecutors Ask Judge to Allow Cosby Accusers to Testify
Cosby's lawyers want the accusers barred from testifying
By Maryclaire Dale and Michael R. Sisak	• Published December 13, 2016 • Updated on December 13, 2016 at 9:15 pm
Bill Cosby used his fame to gain the trust of women before knocking them out with pills and drinks so he could sexually assault them, prosecutors argued Tuesday as they sought to persuade a judge to allow 13 of Cosby's accusers to testify in the 79-year-old entertainer's upcoming sexual assault trial.
A pre-trial hearing in Bill Cosby's sexual assault case ended on Tuesday shortly after the comedian blurted out comments about his age and the correct location of a certain hotel. NBC10 spoke with Judge Michael Donio about his perspective on the latest legal battle.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele told a judge he wants the accusers' testimony to show that Cosby had a lengthy history of drugging and molesting young women. Cosby is charged with sexually assaulting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.
Comedian Bill Cosby returned to Norristown court Tuesday for a hearing regarding his sexual assault allegations. On the way in, he joked "don't tase me, bro" to security.
"The defendant has engaged, over the course of decades, in a signature pattern of non-consensual sexual assaults on young women who were in an unconscious state due to an intoxicant that the defendant administered to them," Steele argued.
Cosby's lawyers want the accusers barred from taking the stand at his spring trial. The defense is expected to attack the women's credibility and relevance when his lawyers make their arguments on Wednesday.
Judge Steven O'Neill must decide whether to permit all or some of the women to testify under a state law that allows prosecutors to call witnesses of alleged prior bad acts. The accusers include onetime aspiring actresses, a cocktail waitress and a flight attendant, and are among 50 women who have come forward with accusations against Cosby since prosecutors reopened the 2004 case last year.
The hearing was testy from the start, with O'Neill twice warning the lawyers to maintain decorum after courtroom shouting matches that centered on the defense team's practice of publicizing the names of the accusers.
Steele clashed with Cosby lawyer Brian McMonagle over the defense's insistence on identifying accusers by name in public documents and a court hearing. Steele suggested that Cosby's lawyers were publicizing them in an attempt to intimidate the women.
McMonagle said many of the women had already gone public with their allegations.
"These are witnesses in a trial. They are not children," he argued.
O'Neill ultimately ruled Cosby's lawyers could identify 11 of the women by name since they'd already told their stories publicly. He said two of the women have remained out of the spotlight and shouldn't be identified in court.
Later, Steele blew up at the defense over the positioning of a projection screen, saying Cosby's lawyers had it placed so the women's names would be seen by dozens of reporters in the courtroom gallery. He again accused the defense of witness intimidation.
McMonagle said courtroom staff positioned the screen, but he agreed to remove accusers' names from a planned presentation.
O'Neill said he'd be forced to call in sheriff's deputies if the lawyers couldn't behave.
The case began a decade ago when Temple University employee Andrea Constand filed a police complaint against Cosby, her friend and mentor, over an encounter at his home. A prosecutor at the time declined to file charges.
But authorities reopened the case last year after scores of women raised similar accusations and after Cosby's damaging deposition testimony from Constand's lawsuit became public. The trial judge last week said the deposition was fair game at trial, arming prosecutors with Cosby's testimony about his affairs with young women, his use of quaaludes as a seduction tool and his version of the sexual encounter with Constand the night in question.
O'Neill must walk a fine line in weighing the accusers' testimony, given a 2015 state Supreme Court ruling that threw out a Roman Catholic Church official's child-endangerment conviction because the Philadelphia trial judge let too many priest-abuse victims testify about the alleged church cover-up.
The defense has questioned the women's motivation, noting many are clients of celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who has suggested Cosby should put up a $100 million settlement fund for potential sexual assault and defamation claims.
Allred told The Associated Press last week that her clients have a duty to testify if the court wants to hear from them. She called the defense's dismissal of their accounts "out of context or just plain wrong."
Cosby, once known as "America's Dad" for his top-rated family sitcom, "The Cosby Show," which ran from 1984 to 1992, was noticeably more engaged and animated Tuesday than at previous hearings.
Unsolicited, he blurted out "1937," then shouted "July 12!" when the judge asked the lawyers for Cosby's date of birth.
He chimed in again a few minutes later when O'Neill and the lawyers were trying to figure out the location of a hotel mentioned by one accuser.
"What city is this?" O'Neill asked.
"New York, I believe," Steele said.
"No," Cosby, interjected. "The Drake is in Chicago."
Cosby greeted security officers with a joke before Tuesday's hearing, quipping, "Don't tase me, bro," as they wanded him on his way into court.
The AP doesn't typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they have come forward publicly, as Constand has done.

Ignore the remainder after dividing the serial number. The serial numbers indicate only the production order of the amp within the series. Both Dumbles were stunning and unlike anything I ever heard before. There are also two inputs that both accept standard quarter-inch cables. They are also versatile, so they can work with any genre of music or style of play.
There are other accessories and pieces of gear to consider. They can also function effectively with all kinds of different pedals, guitars, or other instruments. The voicings range from clean and modern gains to earthy and raw timbres. This is the estimated number of years the amp was made after the Mark was introduced.
These include a footswitch, a Mesa case for the head, different lengths of quarter-inch instrument cables, and backup tubes. There are two rows of knobs that control two different channels. Each channel has different modes and can be toggled for an incredible breadth of voicings. This is an estimate of the production year for that amplifier. The gain setting goes from a clean, unsaturated, and bright effect to an overdriven, saturated, and warm tone.
The exact age of a Mesa Boogie amp can be determined only by requesting Mesa Boogie to check the serial number of the amplifier against its records. Alas, all of the Mesa's and Dumble's are gone, I have a remarkable relationship with Two Rock and tour with their amps almost exclusively. Steve was also working with Mesa at that time and I was working a dayjob at a music store that sold Mesa very early on so the stage was set. About this product Product Information Energize your music with the immense performance of the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier watt guitar amp. Continuing in Mesa's tradition of innovation, private ads for dating the dual rectifier amplifier offers three different channels and a unique multi-watt power system.
The Mesa Boogie guitar amp is engineered exclusively for high-voltage performers looking to get it all in one device. The latter can be used with a footswitch to switch between the Lead and Rhythm channels.
Anderson majored in chemical engineering and has training in guitar performance, music theory and song composition. You can pick from vintage, modern tones, variable high gain, or clean.
In addition, Mesa Boogie makes a large number of special orders for amplifiers, so the presence or exclusion of features is not an indication of the production year. It is difficult to date those models anymore accurately than sometime within the range. These affect various features such as master volume, presence, bass, mid, treble, and gain settings.
The amp offers an amazing range overall, and it can be cranked up to watts. The slave control can connect to an external speaker or work as a master preamp.
They even connect to other combo amps. The Loop Active Master knob works with the effects loop on the back of the amp. Paul, your memory serves you well. The various tones allow you to perfectly craft the sound you want.
These Boogie amplifiers can deliver incredible energy and tones. There is no date information coded into the serial number. Taking in the front view of the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier amp head, you can see an array of controls, including the power and standby switches. Steve at that time was a Mesa hound and spent many an hour with Mikey B tweaking and pushing then current Mesa modality's into, well, better things.
