Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. It showcases our most anticipated books. This week, my pick is The Predicteds by Christine Seifert.
Summary:Daphne is the new girl in town and is having trouble fitting in. At least she has Jesse... sort of. He wants to be more than "just friends," but there's something he's not telling her about his past. Something dangerous. When a female student is brutally attacked, police turn to PROFILE, a new program that can predict a student's capacity for drug use, pregnancy, and violent behavior, to solve the case. As the witch hunt ensues, Daphne is forced to question her feelings for Jesse-and what she will do if her first love turns out to be a killer.
Why I Can't Wait:At first, I didn't know whether or not I liked the cover. After taking a closer look, I have to say that I really, really like it. I love how it's broken down into pixels and still leaves a bit of mystery as to what the book is about. Though the summary is short and reminds me of the movie Minority Report, it sounds like something I'll really enjoy. I love a good mystery book! Excited, much? You betcha!
Sounds different, definitely going to my wishlist!
Great WoW pick. I have this one on my shelf and I can't wait to check it out!
I got Predicted at BEA. The publisher was really pushing it as the next big thing so we'll see if it lives up to it.
@Katie- You must tell me how it is!
This sounds fantastic- I can't wait to read it!
That's an interesting program. I can see anything be able to predict if someone is going to be a murderer though. Maybe it predicts if their capable of murder, I wonder how they would do it.
I was gonna say that. It totally sounds like Minority Report. Not sure how I feel about that. I can say I'm jealous about ALA. My class on Tuesday is canceled because my professor is going. I'd love to go and get some books!
I totally need this one!!!
It does sound like Minority Report!
That program sounds interesting. Maybe it miscalculates or even puts the MC in the line of fire. It sounds like a lot could go wrong with a computer program calling the shots.
The cover works with the blurb. I like it :) Great pick!
This is definitely one that I want to read! I hope you enjoy it when it comes out.


The higher-end boards such as this come with a couple of the new USB 3. I understand ga-h57m-us3 the boosted CPU will give better video encoding gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3, so if you're into video editing gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 it'll be of benefit to you.
Not content with confusing the hell out gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 everyone with the new naming conventions for its Core i processors, Intel has thrown another 5-series chipset into the equation to make its motherboards just as giigabyte.
But still we struggle to see the point.
But just as we had the G4x chipsets, we've now got gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 H5x series. A quick look at the power usage and temperature readings, however, and the difference becomes clearer. Why do you really want to overclock a dual-core CPU to such an gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3, when you're relying on integrated graphics for the visual goodies?
That said, if you're ga-h57m-ub3 into your videos then the fantastic Core i5 quad is going to be your better option, especially paired with something like Asus ' cheaper P7PM Micro ATX P55 board. Our Verdict A decent board, but offers limited extras over the equivalent, cheaper H55s. First we had the Gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 chipset, and that was fine — just a Nehalem-based revision of the P35 and Giabyte motherboards.
The H55 is the low-end version, with the H57 offering a higher spec — and this gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 what we have here: The differences gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 the H55 and H57 motherboards seem negligible when you're talking yigabyte cheapo integrated graphics boards.
The H merely denotes that these chipsets are completely compatible with Intel's latest Clarkdale chips that have the integrated graphics processors on-die. And if gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 absolutely, positively have to have USB 3.
In terms of stock performance alone, there's absolutely no difference between the H55 and H57 boards. If you're thinking of gaming in any sense of gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 word then you need a ha-h57m-usb3 GPU — and you might as well go for a cheapo P55 board and a good quad.
Against Little different to H55 Not gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 value part. Gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 then that might just be me…. The H57 uses less power and creates less heat, and this is what makes ag-h57m-usb3 the better overclocker's board.
Sure, you'll have to pick up a dedicated GPU to go along with it, but if you were satisfied enough gigabyfe integrated graphics then you don't need to break the bank looking for one.
You don't really need to be overclocking the twangers off your dual-core, integrated graphics CPU if all you're doing is watching the odd HD movie. If you're after a gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3, less power-hungry media-centre system, though, the H57 does offer a better gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 to the Gigabyte ga-h57m-usb3 Follow TechRadar Reviews on Twitter: With so little real-world difference between the two H5x chipsets, it does make sense to go for the lower-end part.

Beginning from this point, we need to see what our spirit should do. Ezra 1:1 says that the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia. Then verse 5 says that God stirred up the spirit of a remnant of Israelites to go up to build His house in Jerusalem. Our spirit needs to be stirred up for God's interest (cf. Exo. 35:21). We should not wait for others to stir up our spirit. Instead, we should stir up our spirit by exercising our spirit (cf. 2 Tim. 1:6-7). On the one hand, the Lord is the One who stirs our spirit up, but we should not be passive. We ourselves have to cooperate with the Lord to stir up our spirit.
Our spirit needs to be burning. Romans 12:11 charges us to be burning in spirit, and Acts 18:25 tells us that Apollos was fervent, burning, in spirt.
Prayer is the way to exercise our spirit, but many Christians do not pray with their spirit. They pray by using merely their mouth and their mentality with their emotion. They do not use their spirit when they pray. If one person asks another person to do something for him, he might simply open up his mouth according to his mentality and his emotion without exercising his spirit. Many Christians today pray to the Lord in exactly the same way. They do not use their spirit.
In the past we prayed many times without exercising our spirit, but Ephesians 6:18 says that we need to pray at every time in our spirit. We need to use our spirit as the faculty of prayer. We cannot hear things by exercising our eyes or smell things by using our ears. We must use the proper faculty to hear and to smell. In the same way, we have to pray by exercising our spirit as the proper faculty of our prayer. The faculty for us to pray is not our mind or emotion but our spirit. The more we stress this, the better. Many saints and young ones among us need to learn how to use their spirit in prayer.
A good illustration of using the spirit is when a person loses his temper. When he loses his temper and yells, he is not using his mind. At that point, he is in his real person, that is, his spirit. If we do not yell from our spirit, our yelling is a false performance. The real yelling surely comes out of our spirit. Of course, this is a negative example, because when one loses his temper his spirit comes forth in a cruel and rude way. But in principle, we have to learn to use our spirit in prayer in the same way. Whenever we open up our mouth, we should exercise our spirit to utter something. Whenever we pray, we should pray in our spirit, using our spirit to say something to the Lord. Our spirit indwelt by the Holy Spirit needs to be the faculty of our prayer.


Recent attention has been given to why so many healthcare startups have been failing. One reason that these young companies may be faltering is that many times their startup journey is inspired by a technology instead of a clearly-defined problem that they can solve. Another common misstep is that companies too often measure progress by product development milestones instead of market knowledge. The good news is that there are proven strategies and process that can reduce risk and increase potential revenue generation for companies of any size.
Fleshing out a product after these questions are answered will increase the chances that you are building the right product for the right market, and therefore will increase the probability of commercial success.
There is a common belief that successful entrepreneurs have an innate talent that uniquely qualifies them to drive the success of a startup. In reality, entrepreneurism can be taught, just like engineering, chemistry, medicine, or any other discipline.
In the past, a similar attitude existed about business skills – individuals were either thought to be naturally good at business or not. One of the oldest universities in the country, the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1740), established a school of medicine in 1765, but did not establish a business school (Wharton, the world's first collegiate business school) for another 116 years.
Today, no one would question whether business skills can be taught. The same is slowly becoming accepted for entrepreneurial skills. Leading the way are MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Stanford University whose successes are well documented across a variety of markets. Startups from MIT generate $2 trillion in revenue each year and employ 3.3 million people. This incredible success is attributable to MIT's culture of entrepreneurship education.
Another example of the power of entrepreneurial education is shown through Georges Doriot, a pioneering professor at Harvard Business School, who taught entrepreneurism and venture capitalism. His students used his teachings to manage wildly successful companies such as Intel, Atari, Apple, Tandem Computers, Genentech, Cisco, Google, Yahoo, Amazon and Facebook.
For those who do not have access to entrepreneurship classes, the skills required of successful entrepreneurs can be learned through many excellent books and a growing number of online courses.
Entrepreneurship is not just for startup companies; it should be utilized in well-established companies as well. Any company that values innovation should employ the proven strategies and disciplines of entrepreneurship. New disruptive product ideas should not be managed or brought to market in the same manner as incremental product iterations. Management processes, milestones, timelines and measures of success must all be adapted to avoid bringing a product to market "on time and on budget," only to find that it is the wrong product or wrong market. That's why Eric Ries advocates that large organizations should create startups within their organization.
This brief overview of strategies is clearly just the tip of the iceberg. The above literature and many other sources describe proven methods that increase the likelihood of successfully commercializing new ideas. Solid knowledge of manufacturing, engineering and years of experience developing products from idea to on the market make MPE a viable partner. Our capabilities help shrink your footprint and create management processes as a part or as a whole. Despite common belief, the right approach to innovation is to mitigate risk using structure and process. Is your company taking the right steps to promote innovation?


Parachutes fitted on combat or experimental aircraft to reduce the landing run and/or the float after rounding off. They are located in the rear portion of the aircraft and provide a steady deceleration of 0.25 to 0.35 g. They, however, become relatively inefficient at slower forward speeds and are jettisoned either at the end of a landing run or when aircraft has slowed down sufficiently. In some installations, they are automatically retracted at low speeds. Predominantly known as drag chute and tail chute.

Treating Hepatitis C: What You Need to Know Now
Reviewed by Steven Bowers, DO
With new, more effective hepatitis C medications, curing hepatitis C is more possible than ever.
Recently, there's been nothing short of a revolution in hepatitis C treatment. Previous treatment involved up to a year of regular injections of interferon combined with oral drugs such as ribavirin. This debilitating regimen had a host of side effects and in its early days had a 50 percent chance of eradicating the virus. Now, that treatment regimen is being replaced with more effective and shorter courses of oral medications.
Here's what you should know about the current hepatitis C treatment landscape.
When Should Hepatitis C Treatment Start?
Some people are able to clear the hepatitis C virus from their body in a short amount of time without treatment. This type of the liver infection is called acute hepatitis C, and it's rare that people will notice any symptoms or even realize they have the virus, says Robert Gish, MD, medical director of the Hepatitis B Foundation and a professor of medicine at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
However, most people who become infected with the hepatitis C virus develop chronic disease. Long-term — over two to three decades — the infection can damage your liver as well as other organs. Hepatitis C can result in irreversible liver scarring (cirrhosis) and cause the organ to stop working properly, putting you at risk for liver failure, liver cancer, and the need for a liver transplant.
When to start treatment for hepatitis C often depends on the health of your liver. "Patients with advanced liver disease need treatment right away," Dr. Gish says. "Patients who have little or no damage may wait years before starting treatment if they truly have no symptoms and no evidence of other organ damage." Doctors use blood tests to determine liver function and image the liver with sonography or MRI to determine its stiffness, an indicator of cirrhosis.
New Hepatitis C Medications
Until a few years ago, hepatitis C treatment consisted of only two medications: pegylated interferon injections and ribavirin pills. Both are designed to stop the virus from replicating, but they come with a wide spectrum of side effects, such as fatigue, headaches, fever, nausea, diarrhea, depression, irritability, and rash.
In 2011, two direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs), boceprevir and telaprevir, were approved and added to the combination therapies given to most people. But, advances have been happening so fast that those first-generation DAAs have already been replaced. Doctors now are prescribing new DAAs with higher cure rates — sofosbuvir and simeprevir, both approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 2013.
The new DAAs are an all-oral regimen. Although the pills are very expensive, they have cure rates consistently over 80 percent and, in many cases, more than 90 to 95 percent, Gish says. These medications work by directly attacking the proteins in the virus, preventing it from replicating itself.
Few side effects have been reported from these newer DAAs. "The main side effect is fatigue, and there have been rare reports of rash with simeprevir," Gish says. Except in very rare cases, he says, the longest anyone is treated with the new drug combinations is 24 weeks.
The goal of the hepatitis C treatment is to permanently eliminate the virus from the body or cure hepatitis C, which means having no detectable virus in your blood 12 weeks after treatment ends.
More New Drugs Are on the Horizon
By the end of 2014 or early 2015, approvals of several new DAA medications are expected. The newer drugs should have fewer side effects and be more effective than the previous treatments. And the new drugs should shorten therapy to 12 weeks or less.
Talk to your doctor to determine if waiting for one of these drugs is the best course of treatment for your case of hepatitis C, or if you should start treatment now.

Understand China to understand the world
24/07/12 - New Indian Express
Most authors have written bestsellers while on a trip to a different country or an exotic holiday destination. Whatever it takes to get inspired. For popular columnist and author Martin Jacques, a trip to East Asian countries did the trick. It gave the author a push to write a book.
"In 1993, I went on a big holiday and life changed thereafter. I met my wife, Hari, during this two-and-a-half week trip and was charmed by East Asia," says Martin Jacques, who was here in the city to address a gathering on China and world politics at IIT Madras.
As some who has written extensively about Britain's political happenings, it wasn't surprising to guess why Martin wanted switch to another subject. "I was bored of writing about British politics. During my trip, I was intrigued by East Asia and the hunger to do something new arose then."
For a columnist who has headed several popular British publications, the book has come in pretty late. "Am I accused of being lazy," he laughs and continues, "It was a friend who suggested I write a book. It isn't an easy task. One cannot write about a nation by just visiting the place a couple of times as a tourist. I was completely devastated by my wife's death, it took sometime to pick myself up. So the whole process stretched for about 12 years. I signed the contract in 1997, and the book was launched in 2009. So you can imagine," he reasons.
Ask him why he chose China over other East Asian countries, and he says, "In a few years, you will not be able to make sense of the world, if you can't make sense of China. In my book When China Rules the World, I have said how China is different from the West and will remain so. And also the fact that we can only understand China in its own terms and not through a Western prism."
What is interesting to note is his observation of India when he says, "I think Indians are still battling to find answers to the age-old question – What India is?"
According to Martin, Indian minds succumb easily to Western powers.
"One of the prices you have to pay for colonisation," he says. It isn't easy for an Indian while the Chinese, he thinks, "are strongly attached to (their culture) and hardly think western civilisation as intimidating or even superior." The witty author that he is, when asked if he would ever consider writing fiction, he says "Will I be interviewed again, if I wrote fiction?"

It's like I blinked. And its almost the end of the year.
If you are like me, I am sure you are wondering how this year went by. Faster in the areas I was excited about. Slower, in the areas that caused pain.
A lot has happened this year. Good, bad and the ugly. Taking stock is certainly in order, if we are to have an even better 2016.
How do we measure a year? It is by the amount of money we made? Size of the bonus? Number of awards? Accolades? Published papers? Accomplishments? Recognitions? Speeches? Number of articles cited in? Contracts won? Sales closed?
If you have been a recipient of one or more of them, you have every reason to be proud of. From "made my day" to re-reading the article for a hundredth time to celebrating the award we have all reveled in the glory of our recognition.
As I do the victory dance one more time, I take stock of the things I am grateful for; things more simple and foundational that made all the others possible.
For all the new relationships I have established this year.
For my intellectual growth. The fact that I could spend the time gathering knowledge.
For the material blessings. A place to call home. And a cozy bed to rest my head.
For the mistakes I made, that made me wiser.
For the number of times, I put my foot in my mouth. I know not to make the same mistake again.
The number of times, I got treated badly. I am stronger because of those incidents.
I could go on an on. Long story short – the year was a blessing. In abundance. The overflowing cup. The shiny new toy. And more.
But is that all I am grateful for? Or more importantly, is this how I define gratitude? Is it about what I received? How much I got out of life? Me? Me? Me?
Or is it how much I am willing to move the needle for the people who need it the most?
The number of people, whose needles are misaligned or just broken, is far too many for us to define gratitude by how much we receive rather than how much we do or give away.
Moved by the story of a war veteran who asked for money to buy a sandwich, Komal Ahmad started Feed Forward that has now distributed over 780,000 pounds of food to hungry people in the San Francisco bay area in the last four years. Now 25, Komal wants to replicate the model across the world to solve "the world's dumbest problem" which is how she defines hunger. With so much food going to a waste, no one should be going hungry on any day, anywhere in the world.
Whether it is the cold and wet winter of California that is challenging the lives of the 8000 people in the bay area, or the repercussions of the colossal governmental mistakes that hit the common man across the world the number of misaligned needles are way too many to ignore.
Like my happy list, this list about the realities of life all around us could be equally long. Longer actually.
As the year comes to a close, I am counting the number of times I moved the needle for others. Writing a note-to-self to send the elevator down for the others to come up. My antidote to selective amnesia that prevents me from extending a helping hand.
What excuse do I have to sit on the sidelines and watch my fellow brethren degrade?
Fact is, till I can learn to measure my gratitude by the help I extend to the needy around me, my gratitude never becomes actionable or complete.
Living a life of gratitude is just the beginning. But living is only a beginning. Demonstrating the gratitude and returning a portion of it to folks that need it is where the translation needs to happen. From having it in our hearts to making it actionable is how I measure my life's success.
That is my case for gratitude. What is yours?

Reflections: Snippets from the past
Features, News
By Evelyn Long - Contributing Columnist
Several readers of this column have voiced their appreciation at seeing names from the past, including relatives, friends, friends of their parents, etc. This week I am offering several news items I think are of interest from past increment years that were published in the three county newspapers and the Cardington High School Searchlight newspaper.
80 yeas ago: January, 1939: C. M. Burt, veteran jeweler in Cardington, re- signed as a member of the village council. That same month it was noted that births outnumbered deaths in Morrow County in 1938. Total births were 232 to 192, according to the Morrow County Health Department. The number of communicable diseases increased by nearly 50 per cent during the previous year with 235 measles cases leading the category.
Next was mumps with 29 cases. A total of 2561 residents were vaccinated for small pox in 1938.
Also in 1939, total appropriations for all funds required for the operation of Cardington village for 1939 was $15,700, set by the Cardington Village council.
January, 1944, 75 years ago: The Cardington eighth grade presented the PTA program. Introduced by Betty Bennett were Kent Curl, playing his drums accompanied by JoAnne Curl; Kathryn Nybladh, a vocal solo, Jean Campbell, saxophone solo,and Audrey Barton, piano solo.
January, 1949: 70 years ago: The New York Central Railroad's Ohio State Limited Train which passed through Cardington twice daily, added new $100,000 stainless steel sleeping cars.
Pictured were members of the 1949 Pirateer (yearbook) staff: Henry Newcomer, Bob Skinner, Virgil Guiher, Dalton Jenkins, Howard Hamblin and Sally Dunham.
Jack Wilhelm's feature article on his family's trip to Florida over the holidays was on the front page of the Searchlight newspaper.
This edition of the Searchlight also reached back to 1922-23 and reprinted items from "The Tattler," the school's newspaper. Officers of that year's freshman class were Miles Smith, president; Leland Cahoon, vice president; Hazel Russell, secretary and Walter McClarren, treasurer. There were 30 pupils in that class.
55 years ago, January, 1964: Cardington High School students of the month were Corintha Russell and Richard Carsner. FHA delegates to the state convention were Terry Baer, Karen Bender, Laura Laucher, and Linda Wilt. Choir member was Rosemary Graham.
The seniors had selected the cast for their play, "Harvey." They were Larry Burggraf, Marlene Renz, Nelson Hack, Rosemary Wilson, Darrell Levings, Roger Arehart, Rita Radel, Sharon Yeoman, Anna Gibbons, Howard Gordon and Marge Lamson.
50 years ago, January, 1969: In the classified section of the Independent, Don's Feed and Seed Store in Cardington advertised for a man for mill work Morrow Lanes wanted a female for snack bar help at the bowling alley and the Wornstaff Inn had a position for someone interested in cleaning after hours.
40 years ago, January 1974: A motorist whose brakes failed, slid into the side of the Bridge Tavern on Gilead Street. Some concrete blocks were dislodged and a counter inside was damaged.

Hi! A visitor to our site felt the following article might be of interest to you: Reflections: Snippets from the past. Here is a link to that story: https://www.morrowcountysentinel.com/features/24062/reflections-snippets-from-the-past


The Ohio and Erie Canal, built between 1825 and 1832, had a significant influence on Ohio's economy. In the early 19th century Ohio was largely rural and dependent on subsistence agriculture as the primary business. The canal, which cost nearly $8,000,000 to construct, provided a transportation route from Cleveland on Lake Erie to Portsmouth on the Ohio River. Ohio farmers were encouraged to increase production and ship surplus produce to more profitable markets. Industry became more prominent as manufacturers produced building supplies for the canals and shipped products via the canal. As an internal improvement, the Ohio and Erie Canal expanded the economy, increased the population, and ended the feeling of isolation in Ohio. The canal continued south from here for about a mile until it met Water Street, now Emmitt Avenue, and ran along Water Street through Waverly.

Interview with Parvez Alam – Part 1
12th August 2017 /1 Comment/in Bangladesh, Interviews /by Vinay
Dear Parvez, could you first introduce yourself to the audience?
Photo credit Baki Billah
I am from Bangladesh. I am a writer and activist. In Bangladesh, I have been writing regularly in different blogs, newspapers, magazines and I wrote a few books. Most of them are about history of knowledge and more specifically about the intellectual history of Islam and also the political history of Islam. I have been working with several non-governmental organisations and activist groups in Bangladesh. We had a community library there, where I worked for 9 years. As well I was working with several human right groups focussing on minority rights mostly. I came to the Netherlands during 2015.; I had to flee my country because I was seriously threatened because of my writings, like many other critical thinkers from Bangladesh.
How did you get involved in The Hague Peace Projects?
When I came here I came into a project of the NGO Justice and Peace. A friend of mine worked for the NGO and for HPP at this time and we have spent a lot of time together because she was really interested in Bangladeshi bloggers in exile in Europe. So, I connect her with some Bangladeshi bloggers and together we developed the idea of the book fair for HPP and I was involved for the first time in a HPP project in February 2016 when the first book fair took place. In Bangladesh, there is an annual book fair in February as well, but many writers and publishers can´t be there as now they are in exile. In 2016 there was the chance that Avijit Roy's (who was murdered a year before in front of the book fair) book so we wanted to do a symbolic book fair in The Hague. It was kind of a protest against the attacks, censorship, book bans and exile of publishers or writers. Another intention was to bring the exile writers of Bangladesh together. And from September 2016 I am working more intensively together with the HPP.
How would you describe the development from the first book fair in 2016 to the second in 2017?
When I look back I can say that the development was enormous. In 2016 we have had a half day of book fair without selling any books. Only couple of publishing house was officially involved, and we just displayed some banned books and also books written by Avijit. We had one panel discussion. It was a start and this year we planned everything for months. The result was a book fair with several publishers being present, from and for different countries like Bangladesh, Somalia, Turkey and Netherlands. Moreover, we had several events, books were sold and it lasted for 4 days.
Did you promote the opening for other countries where writers are banned as well?
Yes, I did. The expansion was one of the first things we decided during the planning process, because the situation in Bangladesh is not unique. It is connected to developments in other countries as well. The rise of censorship and the decline of freedom of expression are similar to many other parts of the world. We thought we should bring more countries, more publishers together and have discussions about freedom of expression. Maybe this can be the foundation concept for future book fairs in The Hague, city of Peace and Justice.
The Interview is continued in Part 2 with some more information about the coming book fair and Parvez´s political opinions.
Parvez was interviewed by Miriam Reinhardt.

Interview with Varduhi Balyan
29th March 2017 /0 Comments/in Interviews, Turkish and Kurdish Dialogue /by Vinay
This interview was made after the panel discussion "Freedom of Expression in Turkey. Challenges for dialogue & peace" during the Freedom Book Fair 2017.
Varduhi Balyan is a writer for Agos bilingual weekly newspaper based in Istanbul. She is also a MA candidate at the Instanbul Bilgi University in the department of Civil Society Studies. She writes about many topics including human rights, freedom of speech, democracy, civil society, Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and conflict regions. (Speaker description of the program booklet of the Freedom Book Fair 2017)
Could you tell us a little more about your background and your family?
I was born in Armenia and grew up there. At the end of 2013 I moved to Turkey. My family is from Muş, that is a part of Turkey today. They had to leave the region before the Armenian Genocide because of the political pressure and went to Shamkhor, which is part of Azerbaijan today. In the end of 1980's they had to migrate to nowadays Armenia because of the tensions. Therefore, my family has a kind of migration history. This might be the historical background of how I am connected to Turkey and the reason I am involved in the dialogue process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Is it the reason to work for the Armenian newspaper "Agos"?
No and to be honest it is not even about the newspaper being an Armenian newspaper. But I like the line it is following and the work it does. It is not a traditional newspaper. I like its views and I share them mostly.
Actually, do you study and write a Master thesis?
Yes, that is right. I am doing my masters, currently working on my thesis on the civil society involvement in Turkey-Armenia reconciliation process.
How did you get involved in the Freedom Book Fair?
I met Tayfun and Bedel in Switzerland on a conference about peace and justice. Then they invited me to be part of this project and share my experiences for which I am very happy.
What does the event Freedom Book Fair and the panel discussion mean to you?
You do not have a lot of opportunities to speak about peace so every time there is a space with people who work on peace and a space where you can share your thoughts and ideas, you should be happy to be part of it. As, unfortunately, in our days there are not many platforms to speak about peace. That is why it is really important for me to be here.
During the panel discussion, you have mentioned that it is important to create space of dialogue and peace. Which kind of methods would you use to achieve this?
First of all, we should change the language we use. We need to clean up the language of hate speech. The role of media in this is big. It can create peace atmosphere by simply using dialogue language, changing the language of hate. We need to bring people together and they need to have more personal contacts. That is the thing that really works. It is not the fastest way to resolve a conflict but it does work. I believe person to person contact is really important for peace building.
What are your future perspectives?
I never set up clear plans and just go with the flow mostly and then I decide what I want to do. I hope to continue working on these topics either in academia or journalism, or both.
What gives hope to you?
All events like this one by the Hague peace project and the idea that there are others who struggle for the same values, for peace.
What is your message for the world?
Even if we do not agree in the political views, we should leave space for others to speak out and to build a space for dialogue.

CHALLENGES OF LGBTI ACTIVISM IN RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES
29th March 2017 /0 Comments/in Bangladesh, Great Lakes Region /by Vinay
On Saturday 25th February 2016, The Hague Peace Projects, held a discussion on the Challenges of LGBTI Activism in Religious Societies, as part of the Hague Freedom Book Fair in Het Nutshuis in Den Haag. The event was well attended with over 110 participants.
The panel featured five LGBTI activists, Dino Suhonic, the director of the Maruf Foundation in Amsterdam, who is dedicated to helping the position of Muslim LGBTI's in the Netherlands. Dino is also a teacher, opinion maker and queer activist and writes about queer Muslims, Islam, sexual diversity and gender identity. Michiel Leezenberg is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam. He has published numerous books on Islam, the most recent of which is De Minaret van Bagdad. This book describes the changes in how people in the West perceive Muslims and also the changing sexual attitudes and practices in the Islamic world. Marie Nagadya, is an LGBTI activist from Uganda, a social worker and researcher on same sex practices. She has been involved in numerous LGBTI activist organizations in both Africa and Europe. She is co-founder of out and Proud Netherlands and is the Assistant Director of Eddoboozi Human Rights Defenders Network in Uganda. Rasel Ahmed, was the editor of Roopbaan, the only LGBTI magazine in Bangladesh and aclose friend of the now deceased founder of the magazine, Xulhaz Mannon and our final panelist was Mohammed Mofar, a member of the LGBTI refugee group, The Rainbow Group in the Netherlands.
Michael Leezenberg opened his discussion by introducing the notion of Islam and homosexuality. It was said that the idea of homosexuality as a concept, did not exist in Islam and the rise of modern nationalism and the nation-state had important implications in defining gender and sexuality including homosexuality globally, also in the muslim world. Rasel Ahmed spoke of his experience in Bangladesh, as editor of Roopbaan, which was the only LGBTI magazine in the country, founded by the now deceased Xulhaz Manon. The magazine gained popularity and provided a great platform for the LGBTI community in Bangladesh. A turning point for the community was the pride rally organized on Bengali New Year, which was severely criticized by the conservatives and soon the LGBTI community were receiving death threats and arrests. As a result of these threats, Rasel was forced to flee the country out of fear and a few days later heard of the hacking of his close friend and colleague Xulhaz, by Al Qaeda. Due to continuous persecution, the LGBTI movement in Bangladesh has now been forced into hiding, for which Rasel feels responsible and would like to reunite them, but is at loss on how to do so under the present political situation. Dino Suhonic highlighted the challenges of being a bicultural homosexual, whereby the country in which one is residing is friendly towards homosexuality contrasting with one's home country which is very strict. The demography of LGBTI Muslims is very complex, as they feel defeated by their own communities, countries and societies and much more must be done to help them with these challenges and change mindsets. Maruf Foundation tries to help and assist with these issues.
Mohammed Mofar spoke of his personal difficulties coming out, as homosexuality is considered a sin in his home country of Sierra Leone. After having met a partner and with the help of the Rainbow Group, Mohammed managed to openly admit his homosexuality. Marie Nagadya described homosexuality to be a taboo in Ugandan society as the society is still based upon conservative cultural, traditional and religious values. Marie encountered discrimination at university for researching and showing interest in the topic of homosexuality. She faced obstacles created by both her family and the society, the challenge was even greater as Marie herself was not homosexual. It was interesting to learn that many LGBTI activists in Uganda have become homeless due to the negative comments and hatred from society. It was suggested that the role of the church was fundamental to changing the views on the LGBTI community in Uganda, as it encourages only heterosexual relationship. Scott Livelys visit to Uganda, was emphasized, where a conference with local pastors was arranged, to discuss issues surrounding the taboos of homosexuality. The conference resulted in extreme aggression from the public and a statement from the Archbishop of Uganda stating that he was disappointed with the constitution. The conference led to a proposed homosexuality bill in 2009, which was later passed in 2014. Marie concluded by stating, that homosexuality is considered to be a western notion and therefore is perceived to have no space in Ugandan society.
To conclude the event, the moderator asked each panelist for a suggestion on how to spread more acceptances of LGBTI communities. Marie suggested to love and to not give up. Rasel proposed that the problem lay in intersectional identity, whereby people are not accepted because of their identity. Being Muslim and being gay is a big challenge and therefore the solution should be intersectional. Mohammed suggested unity of the LGBTI community around the world. Michael felt he was not in a position to comment on what people should do. He explained that he felt dialogue was crucial and the fact the audience were present and discussing these issues, was already a great step forward. In Dutch society, you can either be religious or gay, not both therefore it was interesting to note that this panel and audience was a very good example of everyone being both religious and gay, proving that it is possible to be both at the same time. Finally Dino suggested communities should be empowered, that we should create allies through education and engage with people who are opening up spaces for LGBTI communities.

Decarbonisation of shipping
Introducing onshore power sources would support the decarbonisation of shipping
Following the news that the UK Government is calling for evidence on the use of shore power, Jonathan Moss, partner and Head of Marine and Trade at DWF, comments on the benefits and challenges of shore power.
He said: "Introducing onshore power sources whilst ships are berthed would be a positive contribution to cutting toxic emissions that enter the air, supporting the decarbonisation of shipping. Currently berthed ships keep their idling diesel engines running at ports to power lighting, galleys and other crucial amenities needed for staff and others on board the ship. The exhausts from these diesel engines produce CO2 and other air pollutants as well as noise pollution and vibration. This is harmful to the health of the ship's crew, as well as people living and working near and around the area of the ship terminal.
"Ships would be able to shut down their engines while berthed and plug an electrical cable extended from the peer (an onshore power source) to an onboard transformer, allowing an uninterrupted power supply to be transferred for onboard services. This would improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions, one of the key contributors to global warming. This has become increasingly important since governments and organisations are being confronted with rising community expectations in terms of environmental safety.
"Research will be able to indicate the likelihood of reduction in emissions depending on the emission factors of the power plants feeding the local or national grid to provide the electricity. If wind turbines and hydropower were used as a power supply there would be no pollutant emission whatsoever. Human exposure to air pollutants will need to be considered, but if renewable energy is used, near zero-emissions of many air pollutants could be achieved. So, while the goals of the decarbonisation of shipping programme by 2040 and even the Paris Agreement which state 'the shipping industry must use zero carbon fuels at scale by 2030 and be fully decarbonised by 2050' are considered ambitious by many, the introduction of onshore power could eradicate these apprehensions.
"The costs for providing this type of onshore power supply will be significant, however. Many tankers and vessels are similar but not identical, meaning there will be specific technical requirements for each ship that could be difficult to apply equally. Consideration of investment for power receiving points, power sockets and power management systems of older ships that were not built with these will need to be reviewed. Nevertheless, newer built ships are likely to have these systems in place which would significantly reduce costs. There needs to be a clear desire from all shipowners and cargo owners to encourage investment and research and development. So far the voices from the industry are somewhat muted in parts. The pace of technological advancement needs to quicken. The shipping, finance and technology sectors and governments must work together and commit both financial resources and skilled manpower for the projects. The compliance and regulatory framework needs to encourage change and not stand in the way of companies reaching decarbonisation goals. Whilst today's call to arms is welcomed, there needs to be focus on the precise means by which these aims will be realised.
"Standardisation of onshore power supply would need to be measured. Currently, not all ships would be able to connect to onshore power. No international standard is in place, so only few vessels have the required technology, and many differing in voltages, frequency and technical solutions. Many parts of the world use different electrical frequencies so not all ships would be able to connect to certain ports. Evidence suggests standardisation would be applicable internationally for ship technology, increasing installation and equipment compatibility and lower costs. The port of Kiel, Germany, currently uses a cloud-based power monitoring system which provides an easily accessible and transparent view of power consumption that could be applied to most ports when looking at efficiency. Also, if demands were to change concerning particular vessels, they would be able to easily move between ports with onshore supply systems.
"The challenges associated with onshore power supply could be addressed by government policies and strategies, including funding and subsidising costs of the electricity and electrical equipment for onshore power. Most European ports have joined ESI programmes, with 4,000 vessels globally installing environmentally friendly technologies, including shore power. Prioritising port sustainability and social responsibility will be key to the future development of ports which are dedicated to reducing toxic emissions."

If you're reeling from an explosive summer, you're in luck. There are currently two movies in theaters (and in the VOD-o-sphere as well as iTunes) that are both hilarious and treat relationships with a complexity and realism that you might be missing. The first is Sleeping With Other People, a romantic comedy where Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie use a safe word for when they're feeling sexual tension. We'll talk with writer/director Leslye Headland about finding honesty with a high concept.
The second is People Places Things, the story of a graphic novelist/teacher (played brilliantly by Jemaine Clement) who is going through divorce, trying to be a good father and trying to contemplate defining his life now that half of it is over. We'll also speak with its writer/director, James C. Strause.
Plus, Geoff and I will answer some of your screenwriting questions, and, since I'm moving across the planet over the next two months, we'll briefly consider the role packing up everything plays in a handful of films.
The most radical thing about The Look of Silence isn't that a man sits knee-to-knee while interviewing the men who brutally murdered his brother, but that the man approaches those interviews with the goal of forgiving them.
Kevin Pollak's latest movie is a documentary that questions whether pain is necessary to create the kind of comedy that resonates. Misery Loves Comedy sees an enormous amount of professional funny people explaining their experiences, and Pollak joins us this week to discuss the myth of the tortured artist and what he learned crafting 700 hours of footage into a 90-minute movie.
Plus, Geoff and I will dissect a serious scene from a comedy -- specifically the To The Pain speech from The Princess Bride -- in order to see how one cup of dirt and three cups of sugar can create meaningful dramatic moments in a movie that makes you laugh.
Double plus, we'll have a spoiler-free interrogation reviewification of Avengers: Age of Ultron that sends us to the corner store for ear plugs.
Now that we've had time to process Ex Machina, it's easy to recognize that we haven't had enough time to fully process Ex Machina. However, we're going to dive into the deep end of its concepts, philosophies and plot devices with writer/director Alex Garland. We'll also discuss the game theory of misdirecting your audience and compare the isolation of Ex Machina to Garland's other scripts.
Plus, with Geoff still on assignment, we're pleased to have author and screenwriter Jason Arnopp fill in as guest-host for a conversation about what horror and sci-fi have in common.
You should follow Jason (@jasonarnopp), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.
If you're standing in the rain with a lost love, this is the perfect episode to listen to. It'll dry you right out.
This week, Geoff and I will briefly question why Nicholas Sparks keeps getting away with writing the same exact story over and over before sharing a list of some of our favorite tragedies. Somehow, the topics blend together perfectly.
Plus, we'll answer screenwriting questions about annoying characters and overbearingly bleak tones, and The Immigrant writer/director James Gray will talk about actors with surprising styles and what he got out of film school.
This week on the show it's our honor to have modern indie pioneer Hal Hartley join us to discuss love, religion and revenge in his latest movie Ned Rifle.
Plus, we brainstorm 6 pitches for animated children's movies that Disney should remake as live-action, and Geoff's pick for what actor should play Ursula in a dark Little Mermaid wins everything.
Double plus, we answer your screenwriting questions about managing to live while attempting to sell a script in L.A., the difficulties for non-English-speaking writers, and the guidelines for killing your main character in a blaze of glory at the end.
In Everly, Salma Hayek's title character is stuck inside a highrise apartment with well-armed bad guys constantly coming through the door. She'll need a lot of fire power and guts to survive the night.
Naturally, director Joe Lynch says, "the whole movie is about a mother and daughter reconnecting."
Our conversation with the filmmaker obviously covers the emotion and tonally wild action of Everly, but we also cover topics like making movies that Hollywood won't and the European techno-erotica of RoboCop. Plus, Lynch's enthusiasm should replace the three cups of coffee and that eight ball you were planning on crushing today.
Also on the program, I try to pinpoint exactly why the Oscars feel perfunctory and devoid of meaning.
We'll be speaking with a co-lead for one of the semi-finalist teams, Tim Wen, whose short film Unexpected Arrival earned one of the top spots and a chance to compete for the grand prize. He'll talk about the challenge of making something quick without a budget and how to aim the camera in a way that hides your flaws.
Plus, while Geoff is sleeping off an egg nog bender, I'll offer three ingredients for a successful boxing movie and challenge you to correct me without your fists.
If you're waiting for a call to explain your existence, this week's show might be it. We'll talk with Terry Gilliam about religious themes in his movies, ask him to psychoanalyze Don Quixote and then find out what he'd do if he ran a billion-dollar movie studio.
Plus, Geoff and I offer the lessons we've learned going into the final week of the Six Week Spec Challenge and offer/dissect some creepy/funny two-sentence stories.
As a bonus, we'll present our favorite three two-sentence stories from the ones you sent in.
We'll speak with short filmmaker Josh Soskin about the benefits and challenges of going the festival route, and the best way to take the next step after completing a film.
Plus, we'll have an Interrogation Reviewification of Gone Girl, and we'll cover our favorites from Fantastic Fest.
We wanted to discuss magic, laughter and the difficult stuff that lies in between this week because Robin Williams was so much more than a comedian. One of the very best, to be sure, but he was like a Guinness World Record holder who somehow found time for a dozen other hobbies. Which he then mastered.
So what was supposed to be a normal-length segment ballooned into a winding conversation about a tireless artist's power to find a human connection in everything he did. We talk funny stuff, dark stuff, and Geoff explains how Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire made him understand his own dad.
Plus, we speak with To Be Takei director Jennifer M. Kroot about chronicling Sulu in his natural habitat (and a little on how to hide in plain sight with a massive camera on your shoulder).
Let's say you desperately want to make a feature film, but you don't have any money to do it. Can you scrape together a few thousand? Good, because writer/director Joshua Caldwell and producer Travis Oberlander join us this week to explain how they made Layover for only $6,000.
Beyond making a movie for a few months' rent, Geoff and I will answer your screenwriting questions and continue our star-spangled conversation from last week by exploring the concepts of Freedom and Revolution as they apply (for better and worse) to filmmaking.
You should follow Caldwell (@joshua_caldwell), Travis Oberlander (@tobewan), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.
Clark Gregg recently wrote, directed and starred in an indie called Trust Me, and instead of asking one question about it before moving on to nine questions about Marvel movies, we took the opportunity to dig deep into what's clearly a very personal work. In the movie he plays a former child actor turned child actor agent (have fun, Psych majors) who discovers an amazingly gifted young actress who might join a major franchise and bring him the success he's always dreamed of. Spoiler alert: Loki never shows up.
Plus, Geoff and I answer your screenwriting questions and then discuss some bizarre real-life things that would make amazing movies.
As it turns out, it's completely possible to spend the warmest months without seeing a single superhero or explosion, and on this week's show, Geoff and I proclaim our excitement for the indie/non-blockbuster pics that might provide greatness this season. We'll also talk about our all-time favorite screenplays to read.
Through music and misery, we ask the big questions this week. Specifically, Neil Miller and Geoff get philosophical over High Fidelity and debate whether we're truly defined by what we like (as opposed to what we're like) when it comes to relationships. Plus, Geoff describes a few ways to get into the TV show-writing business (and a few ways not to).
And on our main stage, the stellar Stephen Frears joins us to talk about Philomena and capriciousness, and to offer perhaps the single most important piece of filmmaking advice the show has ever heard.
You should follow Neil (@rejects), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.
Paul Walker's performance in Hours is a different animal. In the film, he stars as a man who loses his wife during childbirth and must watch over his ailing newborn in a hospital evacuated by the threat of Hurricane Katrina. It's high concept with a big beating heart, and we'll speak with writer/director Eric Heisserer about the challenges of crafting it, and the contextual shift left by Walker's tragic death.
Plus, Eric Vespe (aka Quint) from Aint It Cool News will try to convince Geoff to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug regardless of how the dragon's name is pronounced, and we've got a fundamental screenwriting question on tap for both Geoff and Heisserer. It's our penultimate show, so we're swinging for the fences.

A Stateline woman is in serious condition at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno after colliding head-on with a bus on Kingsbury Grade Wednesday morning.
Savannah Malena Amos, 19, was eastbound on Kingsbury Grade near Juniper Drive at 8:49 a.m. when she crossed the center line and collided with a BlueGo bus coming down the hill, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Amos had to be cut out of the black Jeep Cherokee she was driving by Tahoe Douglas firefighters.
She suffered broken bones and facial injuries in the accident.
She was helicoptered for treatment by CalStar.
A puppy sitting on Amos' lap was killed in the accident. An adult dog, a golden retriever mix, was ejected in the accident and ran away.
Kingsbury was closed for about two hours after the accident, reopening about 11 a.m.
Witnesses to the event or anyone with additional information are encouraged to call the Department of Public Safety-Communications Center at (775) 687-0400 or Sgt. Robert Stepien at (775) 688-2500.


BONES Journey Racing has been competing internationally since 2001. However as extra sponsorship and tv offers are signed and the sport attracts better athletes, journey racing has grow to be a more skilled and mainstream sport. These racers will typically earn an official end time but be "unranked" and not eligible for prizes. Every crew will be supplied with Map(s), Passport and Passport Instructions. Saturday, June sixteen, 2018 at 1:00 pm. Celebrate the 40th anniversary of "JAWS 2" on the Destin History and Fishing Museum.
Single day tickets could also be bought at collaborating colleges the week of the state finals. For example, teams will end a trekking leg and transition to mountain biking in a transition space. Adventure racing is historically a team sport, however DINO adventure races offer a solo division. Adventure World Journal is jam filled with exciting race information and coaching tips.
These events are often 'continuous' and all adventure races include a couple of discipline, commonly path-working, off-road trekking, mountain-biking and kayaking or canoeing. The favored sport of Impediment Course Racing (OCR), the place as much as 10,000 people run by way of a three to 20 mile obstacle course in waves of 500+, on clearly marked clearly trails at ski resorts, has grown larger than even marathon working within the USA.
There may additionally be other actions, such as ropes occasions or workforce challenges. The groups finishing at the high of a rustic's league may be eligible additionally to play in international club competitions in the following season. Our newly renovated Spinfisher VI reel is mixed with a factory matched Spinfisher VI graphite composite rod. The government is promising to take again management of UK fishing waters once the transition interval after Brexit is over in December 2020.
The only prior training you would possibly have to undertake is to your navigation skills with a map and compass, however event organisers will ensure that entry stage events are not too demanding in your navigation skills. All trotlines must have a plastic or metal tag attached containing the homeowners title and both their handle, fishing license number or telephone number.

Q: Recursion and While Loops in Java I'm writing a recursive program:
public static List<Integer> method(int n)
to determine whether a positive number n is the total of cubes that are positive (> 0). Example: given n = 1944 (12^3 + 6^3), the program would return the list [12, 6] in descending order. If n is not the total of cubes the program should return an empty list.
The program should return the values that start with the highest possible value for the first element, and then follow the same rule for the rest of the elements. For example, when n = 1072, the program would return [10, 4, 2] instead of [9, 7].
The method where the recursion should occur:
private static boolean method(int n, int c, LinkedList<Integer> seen)
where c is the highest number that is still allowed to be used and soFar is the list of numbers that have already been seen.
My code covers the base cases and the recursion, but I'm having issues with the loop continuing. With the input, n = 1944 my program is returning the list [12] instead of [12, 6].
    public static List<Integer> method(int n)
    {
        LinkedList<Integer> result = new LinkedList<Integer>();
        int c = (int) Math.cbrt(n);
        result.add(c);
        method(n, c, result);
        return result;
    }
    private static boolean method(int n, int c, LinkedList<Integer> seen)
    {
        LinkedList<Integer> result = new LinkedList<Integer>();
        boolean b = false;
        if (n == 0)
        {
          return true;
        }
        else if (c == 0)
        {
            return false;
        }
        else
        {
            int sum = 0;
            for (int i : seen)
            {
                sum += i*i*i;
            }
            while (b = false)
            {
                c = (int) Math.cbrt(n - sum);
                seen.add(c);
                method(n, c, seen);
                if (sum == n)
                {
                    result = seen;
                    return true;
                }
                else
                {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

A: Let's see your while loop:
LinkedList<Integer> result = new LinkedList<Integer>();
boolean b = false;
// Some code omitted here.
while (b = false)
{
    c = (int) Math.cbrt(n - sum);
    seen.add(c);
    method(n, c, seen);
    if (sum == n)
    {
        result = seen;
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

First, with a while loop that always has false as the condition for looping, it doesn't do anything at all.
Anyway, even if we pretend the loop runs, whatever is the branch took by the if, a return will be reached. So, your while loop doesn't loop at all even if its condition was changed to always be true. Further, the only value ever assigned for the b variable is false, and it isn't used for anything at all.
Also, the result list in the second method is always empty. And, since the result = seen; instruction is just right before the return, it is an innocuous instruction which renders the result simply being useless.
Also, look at the method(n, c, seen); call. It don't do anything with its return value! So, even if it eventually returns true, you still proceeds, which would then generate false as a result.
Also, whenever you add a value to seen, it will never be removed. Since the seen is always the very same list in every of the recursive method calls, once  a bad number is added there, it will never be removed to make the way for something else.
With this, I must conclude that your algorithm is so broken that it must be rewritten from scratch.
Also, although your question isn't very clear, I presume that the numbers found must all be different. Otherwise, one could make 2 = 13 + 13 and every number larger than one could be represented by the sum of a lot of cubed ones (i.e. n = 13 + 13 + 13 + ...).
The algorithm is this:

*

*The first step is to have a for counting i down from cbrt(n) to 1 trying to form cubes.

*Then, subtract the cube from n and recursively try to find a cube sum for the resulting number.

*Add a parameter to avoid repeating numbers, which is one smaller than the last number used.

*When a cube is formed, return the number that formed it. In the outer calls, add the result to the list of non-empty inner recursive call.

*If an inner recursive call gives an empty list as a result, then the current iteration of the for produced a bad number and we should try the next one (if we have a next one).

*If the for ends without a cube forming, return an empty list.

Here is the code:
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;

public class Main {

        System.out.println(findCubeSum(1000)); // [10]
        System.out.println(findCubeSum(1072)); // [10, 4, 2]
        System.out.println(findCubeSum(1944)); // [12, 6]
        System.out.println(findCubeSum(4));    // []
        System.out.println(findCubeSum(0));    // []
        System.out.println(findCubeSum(-1));   // []
        System.out.println(findCubeSum(10));   // []
    }
}

See it running at ideone.

A: The code as posted has many issues. However your question is about public static List<Integer> method(int n):
public static List<Integer> method(int n)  {
    LinkedList<Integer> seen = new LinkedList<>();
    method(n, 0, seen);
    return seen;
}

Consider changing
private static boolean method(int n, int c, LinkedList<Integer> seen)
To
private static boolean method(int n, LinkedList<Integer> seen)
because you recalculate the value of c by c = (int) Math.cbrt(n);

VIDEO: Bob Myers Announces Kevin Durant Suffered Achilles Injury in Devastating Emotional Scene
By Sam Dunn | Jun 11 2019
This was hard to watch. We already knew it was going to be bad, but this raw moment was downright gut-wrenching to witness. Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers went before the press following his team's skin-of-their-teeth victory in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against Toronto to save their season, but the mood could not have been more dire. Downtrodden. The man looked like a ghost as he fought through tears to deliver the news: Kevin Durant, who left the game with a lower leg injury and did not return, hurt his Achilles.

You can feel the emotional pain coursing through the Dubs GM's body as he steels himself to deliver the terrible, awful news. There's no way to know the extent of this Achilles injury just yet, but there's every reason to believe that this thing was significant.
WARNING: Do not watch the following clip if you're faint of heart. It's devastating.

It flashes one back to a year ago, when Warriors big man DeMarcus Cousins ruptured his Achilles as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans just ahead of free agency, missing out on a year of basketall and tens of millions of dollars. Durant, as everyone knows, is set to enter his own free agency this summer, and surely just saw his market value plummet in demoralizing fashion-- and the complexion of the whole NBA change in an instant.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum consoled by Jaylen Brown after NBA Finals loss: 'It was a tough last game'
By administratorPosted on June 17, 2022
Fox News Flash top headlines for June 16
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum had a rough performance in the team's Game 6 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.
He finished with 13 points, seven assists and three rebounds in 40 minutes. He was 6-for-18 from the field and didn't get to the foul line the entire game. He was in despair on the sideline as he watched the Warriors celebrate their fourth championship in eight years on his home court.

Jaylen Brown, who led the Celtics with 34 points in the loss, explained to reporters what he told Tatum after the game.
"I just gave him a hug, man. I know it was a tough last game," he said, via NBC Sports Boston.
"I know that obviously it was a game we felt like we could have won. It stings that we kind of didn't play to our potential, but it is what it is. You've got to learn from it and move on. As tough as it is, it's been a great year, been a great journey… It just wasn't our time."

Tatum was also a part of dubious history. According to StatMuse, he finished with 100 total turnovers – the most by any player in NBA postseason history.
"This is tough, getting to this point and not accomplishing what we wanted to," Tatum said. "It hurts."

Tatum averaged 21.5 points, 7 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game in the Finals against the Warriors. Throughout the playoffs, he averaged 25.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists.

Lionfish are so well established in Florida waters that scientists have conceded that the non-native fish with venomous spines are here to stay. The goal now is controlling their spread.
The invasive fish with maroon and white stripes — native to the South Pacific and Indian oceans — steals food from Florida's native fish and eats their young.
Harvesting contests such as the Gold Coast Lionfish Derby held in June at the Waterstone Resort & Marina in Boca Raton put a dent in lionfish populations, giving the reefs a break.
And growing awareness about the lionfish problem is helping to control them in another way. Consumers are eating more lionfish, making them more valuable to divers who sell them to fish markets. Conservation-minded shoppers and diners understand they can help control a problem on Florida's reefs by eating a fish with a delicate white meat.
"The fact that everybody's enjoying eating them and the price is going up is a good thing," said Capt. Clay Brand, owner of Capt. Clay & Sons Seafood Market in Delray Beach, who has offered lionfish at his market for about six years.
Brand pays divers $5 a pound for whole lionfish and sells it whole for about $10 a pound. As a diver, Brand sees lionfish on the reefs and spears many of the lionfish sold at his market. Bigger food retailers, notably Whole Foods Market and Publix, are offering lionfish to their customers, at least when they're available.
Non-native lionfish was selling for $9.99 a pound whole in August at the Whole Foods Market in Boca Raton. Fillets were considerably more, at $29.99 a pound.
Customers have been calling and putting in orders for lionfish at Whole Foods since the grocery chain began offering lionfish in April, said David Ventura, regional seafood coordinator for Whole Foods in Florida.
At the Whole Foods Market on Glades Road in Boca Raton, the seafood department staff often prepares samples of lionfish for customers on weekends.
Unlike other fish whose populations could be under stress because they're tasty, lionfish are actually a scourge, at least in the coastal waters of the United States, where they have no natural predators. That adds a feel-good component to eating lionfish.
A sign at Whole Foods in Boca Raton encourages customers to "take a bite out of lionfish … be a part of the solution." In August, the store sold lionfish for $9.99 a pound whole and $29.99 a pound filleted. Red lionfish (Pterois volitans) are relatively small, typically 12 to 15 inches, but they can eat fish half their body length. They herd prey with their fan-like pectoral fins and blow water at other fish to get them to turn around before swallowing them.
In the waters off Florida, lionfish eat more than 70 species of fish and invertebrates, including yellowtail snapper, spiny lobster, parrotfish and Nassau grouper. With few natural enemies in the Southeast, 18 venomous spines for protection and the ability to live in a wide range of water depths, lionfish have become well established on Florida's reefs and wrecks.
One problem for seafood markets has been the inconsistent availability of lionfish. When seas are rough and lobster season is closed, divers are less likely to pursue lionfish and they can be hard to find in markets.
The Lionfish Cookbook by Tricia Ferguson and Lad Akins has recipes for lionfish entrees and appetizers. Proceeds of the book, which sells for $16.95, go to lionfish research and removal programs.
Most seafood markets have suggestions, and serious lionfish aficionados can order The Lionfish Cookbook by Tricia Ferguson and Lad Akins. The second edition of the cookbook contains more than 45 recipes for lionfish appetizers and entrees and is available for $16.95 through the nonprofit Reef Environmental Education Foundation at www.reef.org/store/lionfishcookbook.
REEF uses proceeds from sales of the cookbooks for lionfish research and removal programs.

There's a fresh grave on planetoid KS-159, but only Bernice Summerfield seems to have noticed. Her friends on the Braxiatel Collection are too busy with their own affairs to see how distraught she is, how keenly she feels this loss.
There's no time to grieve. Life must carry on, different and strange as it may be. Benny has a son and a bloke to look after, and a feud with Bev Tarrant to keep up. And she's also got dumped with a new assignment, babysitting some daft experiment.
Doggles claims his "history machine" will change everything. And the worst thing is that he's right.
The events in this short story collection take place after the three novellas in and prior to the audio drama .


As this blog continues, we will address the various areas of a Kitchen Renovation and explain how they are completed.
Most of the time, you can research the cost of your Renovation without incurring any costs. The best way is to call the necessary suppliers and contractors for estimates and compile them together for a total cost. You should also get time lines for installation as well as lead times for your products such as time it may take to get your cabinets to your home and how long it will take to install the granite or tile floor, etc.
Cabinet - Type and Cost – there are many very competitive cabinet companies out there that are willing to work with homeowners in a variety of ways. You may want a cabinet company to furnish custom cabinets, ready to assemble cabinets, built and delivered, or built and installed. Most good companies will give you a cost breakdown for all the ways of a cabinet purchase.
Counter Tops – Type and Cost – There are many types of counter tops, depending on your taste and budget. Lately, the most popular are granite counter tops for a few reasons. In the last few years, prefabricated granite counter tops were invented which caused the cost of granite to drop significantly. Most counter tops are 2' by a certain length, so companies decided that they would prefabricate the c-top with the edging already completed and just cut the length or add the length accordingly. They have also prefabricated island/peninsula counter tops as well. There are laminate counter tops there are inexpensive, but will typically need to be custom made for your kitchen. You can buy the prefabricated laminate counter tops, but they will need to be pieced together or cut. The corners will also need to be pieced as well. Tile counter tops are another alternative. The price will vary and you should pick a tile that has all the accessories such as corners, v-caps, and field tile that match. The cost of tile is a little less than granite and a little more than having laminate counter tops installed professionally.
Appliances – Type and Cost – The nice thing about appliances is that most of them are the same size or fit in the same opening size. This is significant because it means that you can purchase them at any time and install them. Unless you are changing from a range to a cook top then that opening is usually the same size, the same with your refrigerator and dishwasher. This gives you the opportunity to shop, shop, shop for the best deals you can find. Most homeowners these days don't keep all the same brand appliances as some brands are strong in certain areas such as a certain brand may be better at dishwashers and another brand excellent at refrigerators and so on. Most homes will have the following as a minimum amount of appliances. Range with Microwave/Hood above, dishwasher and refrigerator. However, there are other combinations to consider such as cook top with hood, oven cabinets with micro, oven and dual Dishwashers. Dual dishwashers have become popular as it relieves the homeowner from having to put away dishes and glasses into cupboards. They use one dishwasher for dirty dishes and one for the clean dishes transferring from the clean dishwasher to the other dishwasher as they are used. The cost is similar to the cost of the cabinet it would replace.
Flooring – Type and Cost – There are several types of flooring to consider in your kitchen and several types to use cautiously. Large tile (16" to 24") is the most popular today. The cost of tile has gone down significantly in the last few years and so has the cost of installation, I suspect that granite counter tops has had a lot to do with it, of course we all know what the economy has done, and tile setters are working a lot harder for a lot less, which is true for just about any of the trades in construction.
Paint – Painting can take place after the demolition is completed, however, when the projected is complete there will be some touch required. If desired, you can wait until the project is done to do the painting, caution is required.
Budget - Get estimates (more than 1) for the various costs of your project, evaluate what you personally can do in the project to cut down costs, such as install the cabinets, demolition, install floor tile, etc. Weigh that against the cost of having a contractor or laborer do it. Come up with a budget for your renovation. It's a good idea to allow for unforeseen costs. Remember, advice from a professional is free. They have the experience and knowledge to help you complete you project successfully.
Players – line up your suppliers and subcontractors prior to the start of your project. Make sure that they will fit into your time line and that the lead time s for delivery is confirmed prior to starting your project.
Once you have completed the preparation and schedule, you can begin to work on the demolition portion of your project.
Tools Needed: Protective Eyewear, Heavy Duty Gloves, Protective Shoes, Pry bars (wunderbars), Large Hammer, Screwgun with various tips, Crescent (adjustable) wrench, Pliers, and miscellaneous hand tools.
Home protection: Cardboard, building paper to protect flooring (several layers if possible) taped down (masking tape) plastic to partition off the area from dust that may occur.
Scope of Work: First, make sure the gas, electricity and water in the kitchen are completely turned off for obvious safety reasons. Most kitchens have turn off valves for the water valves under the sink and gas valves located at the back of the range. The electricity will need to be turned off at the electrical panel, you should test each outlet by plugging in a hairdryer or similar and turning it on, then go to the electrical panel and shut off the corresponding circuit breaker. If you don't feel safe in this fashion then you can shut off the main circuit breaker which will shut off all the electricity to your home.
Now the work begins, using your safety glasses and heavy duty gloves and other tools listed above, start by disconnecting your faucet and all necessary plumbing components including the dishwasher. Next disconnect your range at the back of the range/stove, then the hood. From here you will remove all of your appliances and save the ones that you want to re-use in a safe area away from the kitchen.
At this point, you can now start the demolition. You will want to put the debris in area where it can be disposed of properly such as taking it to the dump or local refuse disposal site for a fee for about $50 or so. Any salvage materials can be sold to help offset your cost by advertising on craigslist, backpage, etc. We will typically start with the counter top removal first. You can remove the tile or counter tops in sections, usually using a prybar to pry up the rough top up in large enough sections for 2 people to carry out.
Next, remove the cabinets that are normally screwed into the wall and each other. They can be removed in sections or piece by piece.

I must confess that, the 16th of April 2015 (yesterday), is the most remarkable so far in my life, after the exact day I was born (I obviously wont write the year). I have been looking forward to it, funny enough. My birthday last year was completely out of it, so many awkward issues. But above all I am, grateful to God for his graces conferred on me and all the benefits accrued to my existence.
As a little boy it always pleased me to make people happy and laugh. I had the heart of an entertainer, but I didn't know it, my mind was so crowded with the usuals -go to school, take a professional course like medicine, engineering, architecture..etc. thanks to 9ja parents and our traditional orientation in Africa.
Growing up, in 2008 I came into the light of modelling, so timid and shy, but overtime I got to be able to express my self, all thanks to one person I met in 2012, his name is Babatunde kazzim Tyler, currently the CEO Of Pitchersville Lagos. This is the one man that changed my orientation about life, and till today I am currently living almost completely based on the principles he taught me.
One thing I can tell you from what I learnt is that, the best way to live life is to express yourself as you are, be outspoken, in a conversation with someone especially prominent, make sure your voice is more audible than the other party, it gives you control over the conversation. See my life I said I was going to say one thing and I have ended up saying three! *covers face*, maybe its because I am a cheerful giver!.
Later that same year 2012, I opened this blog you are reading this article from with the intention of just being visible on the internet,till I visited Linda Ikeji and got an otherwise motivation. After one year of suffering and blogging with no revenue, hustle finally started paying as i was getting advert calls till date.
In 2013, I sat down with my best friend and life saver -Patrick Igwe and told him I'd like to promote my blog with an unusual platform. The regular way is to use social media, run facebook ads, twitter ads, google ads, etc. I came up with the idea of doing a comedy show and the first name we came up with was Laugh Out Loud (LOL), then I remembered what my second father advised me with -Mr Jude Onwusonye Chairman Goldmore Pharmaceuticals, Pharmabase and Applesoft Technologies. He says whatever you set out to do in life, you should know where you want to be in the latter years and use the vision to kick off your mission.
And so my vision still is to make it a national brand and globally accepted, thats how i decided to inculcate Nigeria in the name and I called it LAFF OUT 9JA. You see?..you self have noticed the big idea is already working!. After the 1st successful one on the 22nd of December 2013, followed a bigger success on on the 23rd of November, 2014 and then the Valentine edition on the 15th of February 2015. Oluwa wa!
I also have interest in acting up till production of movies which I will do, trust me. I acted my first movie last year after being turned down in several auditions including tinsel and shuga. And I did a major job for a company I had always longed to do an advert for -Etisalat early 2015. The thing is this i have come to realize that everything I once envisioned are all happening before my eyes and this brings me to boldy support the notion that "whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve".
My dear it starts from conception , but doesnt end there. You have to do things that are your goal related and surround your self with and be at your goal related places!. I am still doing that you know, still on the the success ladder, Join ME!!
Finally I acknowledge my family starting from my dad - His Royal Highness Eze Engr Clement Okey Dike (Ochiogu 1 of Obulo Ochiogu autonomous community), my mum Ugoeze Kate Dike, Big Sis Linda Elobuike (nee Dike), Rita Laura Dike, Wilson Dike (Biggest investor in Laff Out 9ja), Stanley Dike (another life coach), Valentine Dike, Michael Dike and Louis Di...sorry thats me..*grins*, you all have really played a tremendous role in my life, I am grateful!. I cant forget my lawyer and career adviser Barrister Charles Ajiboye, he has helped me a lot too, my crazy friend and blogger Tayo Lawal, curator of www.tayolawal.com, Mike Ejiofor, Sandra Williams, see if I continue typing names you will just close your browser. but you guys that mean something to me know yourselves..I really appreciate!!!.
Yessooooo!! Yesterday was a New year in my Life, Happy belated birthday to me. I love you All!!
Wow...am just seeing this. Thanks a lot my bro from another mo!. Oluwa.. Olu...Oluwa!!

N-S 82 "Březinka" je samostatný pěchotní srub těžkého opevnění, který byl součástí pevnostního systému předválečné Československé republiky.

Byl postaven v roce 1937 v režii ŽSV Náchod v rámci stavebního podúseku Polsko. V době mobilizace v září 1938 byl plně vybaven a vyzbrojen. Za války byl, podobně jako většina těžkých objektů, devastován odstraněním pancéřových prvků, po válce chátral v zapomnění. V letech 1988 – 2000 byl rekonstruován Klubem vojenské historie Náchod do stavu v roce 1938. Srub se nachází v blízkosti dělostřelecké tvrze Dobrošov.

N-S 82 "Březinka" je samostatný, oboustranný, dvoupodlažní pěchotní srub, postaven ve II. stupni odolnosti. Objekt byl postaven ve svahu a je proto výškově lomený. Levou skupinou hlavních zbraní uzavíral údolí Bělovsi a společně s dalšími samostatnými objekty a dělostřelectvem z Dobrošova bránil klíčovou přístupovou cestu k Náchodu. Pravou skupinou hlavních zbraní vytvářel palebnou přehradu směrem k sousednímu objektu N-S 81 Lom a k dobrošovské tvrzi. Pro objekt se počítalo s osádkou 32 mužů.

Objekt byl vybetonován souvisle ve dnech 4. – 9. října 1937. Je vybaven vrtanou, 61 m hlubokou studnou. Kubatura železobetonu dosáhla 1365 kubických metrů.

V rekonstruovaném objektu je k vidění unikátně dochovaná a funkční filtrovna z roku 1938. Od roku 2003 je v levé střelecké místnosti umístěn originální pevnostní protitankový kanón vzor 36 ráže 47 mm, který byl získán z norské pevnosti Oscarsborg. Jedná se o kanón původně umístěný právě na Březince. Vrtaná studna v týlovém patře je rovněž plně funkční a vybavena původním vodním čerpadlem Royal, které členové KVH Náchod na počátku devadesátých let objevili při průzkumu objektu N-S 91 Rozhledna. Březinka patří mezi nejlépe rekonstruované objekty československého těžkého opevnění a podle převládajícího názoru v tomto ohledu dokonce drží primát.

Výzbroj
směrem k Náchodu (levá strana)
 protitankový kanón vz.36 ráže 47 mm spřažený s těžkým kulometem vz.37 ráže 7,92 mm
 dva spřažené těžké kulomety vz.37 ráže 7,92 mm směrem k Náchodu
