Welcome to the Programmers Town Hall Chat
Before we begin, I have a big opening text. Please withhold all of your commentary and questions until after I clear through it all.
We're just here to get to know the candidates and ask questions regarding the candidates views on moderation that may help in voting.
A few notes about the format:
The format is open, feel free to ask your question(s) unprompted, however please be mindful of whether or not candidates have answered the previous questions so that they don't get behind and start missing questions. Other than that, feel free to jump in.
Candidates, be sure to use the reply feature so that questions and their answers are linked together. (Hover your mouse over the left of the message, click the down arrow, click reply)
It's a good idea to bold your questions (use ** or __ around it) to make them easier to see. When a question is asked, I'll star it - please star it yourself also to help! Please save stars for the questions so that candidates can refer to the star list to make sure they haven't missed a question.
@TimStone will be creating a digest version of the town hall chat after it is completed. This digest will take the form of a question on meta, containing all the questions asked as well as their answers for easier reading.
There's a system message up on the site, so we may get some stragglers joining us if they're around at this time.
Among candidates, I spy the following among us: @Dynamic, @WorldEngineer.
Let us spend no more time on this, and commence!
In your opinion, what do moderators do?
World Engineer
@GraceNote Moderators serve as the caregivers and cultivators of the community. They carefully cultivate an environment where good questions can flourish whilst weeding out bad questions and other noise. They encourage new users. They listen and respond thoughtfully, respectfully, and constructively to complaints. They act as a kind of face to the community, always trying to bring out the very best within themselves and those around them.
Do you feel like a representative percentage of the community participates in your site's meta? Based on that, how strongly do you think feedback presented on meta should factor into your decision making as a moderator?
Gilles asks the following question: I see that one candidate hardly ever downvotes, one candidate wants to close less, and one candidate cumulates the two. If you're so set against cleanup tasks which are part of a moderator's job, what makes you think you'll be a good moderator?
@TimStone I do feel that meta is perhaps less lively than it should be. I think meta feedback should still be given due consideration. I do think more people should be encouraged to participate in meta, to have their voices heard. I want Meta to be where the site is built, not just a reservoir for dealing with complaints, though it should still serve that purpose.
@GraceNote I may not downvote but I do leave comments on posts as to why they might be seen or are a poor fit for the site. I have little problem closing questions in keeping with closing as a "room for improvement" option rather than "Path of Death". I understand that it may make me seem "soft" or "out of touch" but I don't downvote because I feel that it serves as a "we hate you" sign toward new users. Leaving a comment has often resulted in a more reasoned reaction than "ZOMG why you downvote!"
Is there anything about the way the site is currently run that you would like to change? If so, what would you try to change if you were to become a moderator, and why?
PearsonArtPhoto
What would you do in the event of a conflict between a relatively new member and a higher reputation member?
Gilles also asks: I'm a programmer but hardly visit Prog.SE because it has too many low-quality highly-voted questions and answers. What do you propose to do to improve the overall quality of the site?
If you had one minute to explain this site to someone, what would you say that it is?
@TimStone I'd like to see more explanation with downvotes. I realize that can't be forced but I do think it should be encouraged. I think the site is ambiguously scoped in some regard. I have a solid idea as to what the site is about but I can't say that new users do. I'd try to stop SO's you should ask that on Programmers tendency.
@PearsonArtPhoto It's going to depend on the evidence. As a moderator I have to look at the facts and consider what is best for the community, regardless of the individuals involved. A new member may be confused about scope, a veteran may be sore about seeing yet another insert bad question here. I have to read all sides and decide as fairly as I can in the general interest, not specific ones.
In the event of disagreement with another moderator, would you commit to their practices regardless of your perspective; disregard their practices; or something else, if so what? Please be specific.
@GraceNote I've put some thought into this. It's a tricky thing to avoid a swarm on a question. The main thing to look for, in my view, are controversial but not immediately off topic questions that are likely to get a spike in views from people unfamiliar with site scope or just "me to!" answers. It's a tricky problem and one that may not be solved without some machine learning or other technical tweaks.
What do you consider the most important job of a moderator?
What have you personally done already to help moderate this site?
@PearsonArtPhoto Programmers is site where you can ask questions about abstract programming related topics like what algorithm to use for this case or that. Is this class structure good and if not why not? It's a part of a much larger network full of all kinds of interesting sites on a multitude of topics. All without most of the noise of the rest of the net.
@JimmyHoffa I'm going to listen to what they have to say first. If it makes sense, I'll take that approach. If it doesn't, I won't. The formost question is always "what is best for the community?". I'd take my ego out of the equation.
We're at the halfway mark now, just as a note.
@GraceNote The most important job of a moderator is to serve the community. That doesn't mean being a pushover or a sycophant. It means carefully balancing the interests of everyone with the site. It means keeping things clean, it means listening carefully to concerns and complaints. It means offering a helping hand to newbies. It means pushing for a better site, no matter what.
Of the other candidates, who is the one user you think would be most qualified for the position of moderator, and why?
Two of you have expressed an interest in seeing fewer questions closed. Can you point to an example of a question you believe should not have been closed, and provide an explanation for why you think it should be re-opened?
@PearsonArtPhoto I've explained numerous times in comments to new users why their question is off-topic or otherwise has been given downvotes or comments they may not understand. I routinely go through the review queue and look at close votes and other such issues raised by the community. I participate in Meta, asking about things like whether a tag is good or not.
Yannis Rizos
Ha! I managed to wake up for this (4:30 am here). Hi all, if I'm not making much sense, just ignore me.
@GraceNote Dynamic. He cares very deeply about this community and I think firmly understands what the site is about.
Without being specific, do you presently disagree with any of the current moderators' practices?
How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?
Q: Why do programming languages, especially C, use curly braces and not square ones?
The definition of "C-Style language" can practically be simplified down to "uses curly braces ({})." Why do we use that particular character (and why not something more reasonable, like [], which doesn't require the shift key at least on US keyboards)? Is there any actual benefit to programmer ...
programming-languages c history syntax
What specifically do you think that the current moderators are doing well, and what do you think could be improved?
@GraceNote leave me out of this!
@PearsonArtPhoto I think History questions that have answers that are more than just anecdotes or idle trivia are valuable. I think closing can serve as a useful flag that a question can be improved. Reopen votes exist for a reason.
@JimmyHoffa Some of the mods are less active perhaps than they could be.
@GraceNote I'd look at what exactly what causing these arguments and deal with it accordingly. I'd try to understand their point of view and empathize with their concerns whilst pushing for a more diplomatic approach on their part.
@WorldEngineer Why is that a problem?
We're now at the 15 minute mark. Not that it looks like we're going too fast, but don't let the time go by and rob you a question you have!
Is there anything in becoming a moderator that makes you uneasy or nervous?
@WorldEngineer I warned you not to be specific :P
@PearsonArtPhoto I think the moderators as a whole are keeping the site pretty well moderated. I think more community projects might be in order as far spearheading and the like.
Opening Curly Brace - goes at the end of the last relevant line, or deserves its own line?
@WorldEngineer What do you mean by community projects? I would just edit your answer.
@GraceNote I will for better or worse, be in some sense, a face of the site. Everything I do will reflect on the site, good and bad. That's a great deal of responsibility. I think I'm ready but there's always that tiny doubt.

Did I miss anyone?
Not yet, nope.
Anyone got any last minute questions?
8 mins ago, by Yannis Rizos
@YannisRizos I had to pick something.
@WorldEngineer I asked not to be specific, you could have said "No" :P
@JimmyHoffa in that case, no.
Alright, so, we're reaching the close of our hour. Final thoughts from the candidates?
@GraceNote I've grown to love this community over the 20 months I've been here. This place feels like home to me and I want to do whatever I can to ensure that it remains a great community. Does it have problems? Yes. But I believe those can be worked through and I want to help the community work through them.
Love? Whoa, I don't think I'm ready for that commitment yet...
This marks the end of our Town Hall. Thank you to all of the candidates for their time, and to all others who came here to ask questions and to support the candidates. Good luck to everyone as this election approaches its close!
As mentioned, @TimStone will be making a digest of this that will be available after this at some point. Candidates who haven't finished, you are free to continue answering in here until you reach the end (and anyone who couldn't make it is also allowed to answer post-fact) - this end only signifies the end of new questions, not the time you have to answer.
Thanks @GraceNote for setting this up.
@GraceNote Thank you for the thought provoking questions
My final thought: Regardless of the outcome of the election, all three of you stepped up and volunteered to help the community grow. That's awesome! Good luck to all of you.
@GraceNote In my opinion, a moderator is just a user with more "power". There's a false sense that moderators have more say than the average users or are leaders of the site, but that isn't necessarily true. They almost act as guidance counselor of a school: making sure everything is in it's place, listening to users and helping them along the way, and always trying to improve the site and it's users.
@TimStone No I think meta participation is lacking quite a bit. Compared to other sites around the network we're pretty average. I tend to see only very active, prominent users on the site regularly participate on Meta, but it the average user has a problem, they do tend to stop by Meta and ask or search. Basically, meta is going to be a major factor in my decision making because most of the users that care are going there, but it will not be my only influence.
@GraceNote I'm not against clean-up tasks at all. But there's a big difference between cleaning and over cleaning. For example, border-line questions seem to get closed before they're even taken into deep consideration. What I have been trying to do as a user is clean it up before it gets closed. Basically, I'd like to keep a sense of balance in my moderation. I'm definitely going to be doing a lot of clean-up, but I'm going lax off a bit on the close button.
@TimStone I'd like to get a great deal of meta participation. In my mind, the site only grows dramatically if the Meta grows dramatically. Now I don't mean I want more people coming in to rant on why there question got closed. I mean I want more people coming in dropping ideas on how to improve, voting on things they see fit, helping tag clean-ups, etc..
@PearsonArtPhoto Go with the one who I believe is right! I'm not going to help the high-rep user just because he's a high-rep user because both users should have equal say in how the site is run.
@GraceNote Personally, I think it has to be a matter of "monkey see, monkey do". If I'm a new user on the site and I see bad, open questions, I'm going to think that this kind of question is allowed. If the question is obviously poor and not constructive, I'm going to jump on that thing fast and get it closed and then I might try fixing it, just to make sure it's obvious what we want.
On the other hand, if a new user isn't paying attention to the questions around him, I really don't see what we could do.
@PearsonArtPhoto Prog.SE is a site regarding the conceptual side of programming, not the implementation. Questions about algorithms, data structures, design patterns, and other non-implementation programming questions are generally accepted, but keep the implementation questions for Stack Overflow.
@JimmyHoffa In the beginning, I would most likely listen to them. Once I gain experience with the position, I may defy them a bit, but only if I have community support or possibly another moderators support.
@GraceNote Helping users. Moderators are generally experienced, well liked users on the site (or they wouldn't be elected). I always took the advice of moderators when it comes to working on the site, and I will definitely do the same.
@PearsonArtPhoto Hmmm... well I regularly edit, close, reopen, and leave helpful comments on posts. I helped out with the STCI a while back. I ask and answer in Meta, and generally try to help users however I can. And I vote!
@GraceNote World Engineer. I think his vision of what the site should be like is only going to help it grow.
@GraceNote At first I'd talk to him, whether that be leaving a comment or talking in chat. If it continues after a few tries I think you have to take some kind of disciplinary action.
@PearsonArtPhoto The current moderators are definitely trying to let regular users moderate first, and only step in when they think they're needed. They also have been very helpful in the guidance of users. If I could improve one thing, it would be tolerating ideas for change.
@GraceNote You're under a spotlight when there's a diamond next to your name. If you make a mistake, everyone knows about it. But at the same time, everyone sees the good you do too.
@GraceNote Own line :)
@GraceNote This site is amazing! It has a great community and has some very talented programmers. If I'm elected, I want to make major strides in the development of the site for the better.

Q: Simple way to read an email to username mapping and if present then simply use the value instead of multiple IF ELSE conditions I am migrating a data from table1 to table2 and replacing email with username for definition_string column in the table2 table.
Tables are like:-
CREATE TABLE table1
(
    table1_id bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('table1_id_seq'::regclass),
    definition_string text COLLATE pg_catalog."default",
    CONSTRAINT table1_pkey PRIMARY KEY (table1_id)
)

CREATE TABLE table2
(
    table2_id bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('table2_id_seq'::regclass),
    definition_string text COLLATE pg_catalog."default",
    CONSTRAINT table2_pkey PRIMARY KEY (table2_id)
)

Value in definition_string column is like following:-
definition_string = 'SEND open TO abc@gmail.com'
definition_string = 'SEND open TO def@gmail.com ghi@gmail.com'

One email can have multiple usernames from users table.
For ex:
select username from users where email = 'abc@gmail.com';

OUTPUT:
username: testabc, blablabla

If it contain multiple usernames then I want a selected username only to be the part of new table.
For that I have a list to map:
'abc@gmail.com','testabc'
'def@gmail.com','testdef'

The data is too large and I don't want multiple IF ELSE conditions as you see in the below function to map email with username-
create or replace function update_table() returns void as $$
declare
  rw table2%rowtype;
  prefix text;
  emails text;
  emaili text;
  user_id text;
begin
  for rw in select * from table1
  loop
    prefix := substring (rw.definition_string from '(SEND \w+ TO) ');
    emails := substring (rw.definition_string from 'SEND \w+ TO (.+)');

    foreach emaili in array string_to_array (emails, ' ')
    loop
      select username
      into user_id
      from users where email = emaili;
      IF emaili = 'abc@gmail.com' THEN
            prefix := prefix || ' ' || 'testabc';
      ELSE IF emaili = 'def@gmail.com' THEN
            prefix := prefix || ' ' || 'testdef';
      ELSE
            prefix := prefix || ' ' || user_id;
      END IF;
    end loop;

    insert into table2 values
    (nextval ('table2_id_seq'), prefix);
  end loop;
end;
$$
language plpgsql;

Is there a simple way to read an email to username mapping and if present then simply use the value instead of multiple IF ELSE conditions ?

A: The only good way I found is this one-
create or replace function update_table() returns void as $$
declare
  rw table2%rowtype;
  js jsonb := '{"abc@gmail.com": "testabc", "def@gmail.com": "testdef"}';
  i record;
  prefix text;
  emails text;
  emaili text;
  user_id text;
  userByJson text;
begin
  for rw in select * from table1
  loop
    prefix := substring (rw.definition_string from '(SEND \w+ TO) ');
    emails := substring (rw.definition_string from 'SEND \w+ TO (.+)');

    foreach emaili in array string_to_array (emails, ' ')
    loop
      found = false;
      select username
      into user_id
      from users where email = emaili;
      userByJson = (SELECT elem->> emaili FROM jsonb(js) elem);
      IF userByJson is not null THEN
        prefix := prefix || ' ' || userByJson;
        ELSE
        prefix := prefix || ' ' || user_id;
      END IF;
    end loop;

    insert into table2 values
    (nextval ('table2_id_seq'), prefix);
  end loop;
end;
$$
language plpgsql;

Here's another good view of Balestrand, caught between two ridges.
Remember that small branch of the fjord I referred to in the photo taken quayside in Balestrand? Well here you can see the end of that branch. In the foreground is the trail up the peak. If you look carefully you can see a stack of rocks beside the trail in the distance. These marked the trail.
After a bit more the slope to the right of the trail got even steeper. No false steps.
Here's the view down the valley to the right of the trail. It's steeper than it looks.
Near the top of the mountain there was a bit of unmelted snow that was attracting the attention of other hikers.
One of them took this excellent photo of me in the snow.
Here's one more view back to the hotel.
I made it! I put some of the snow on my hat to help keep me cool. It worked really well. It melted slowly as I hiked down the mountain, and was almost gone when I reached the bottom.
I met some sheep on the way down the other side of the peak.
When I came over the ridge, I startled this one. She was quite upset.
I hiked down the left side of the ridge, along the Kallbacken path. That name means "cold stream," and the path lives up to the name.
There's a lovely stream at the bottom of the valley, fed by snowmelt from the slopes above.
The stream is small, but the water was flowing very quickly. I drank some of the water and refilled my bottle. It was delicious. Hopefully there aren't any dead sheep in the stream above. Actually, I took this photo just a few hundred meters from the top of the mountain, so I think the water was probably safe.
And here's a look down the valley.
There were three cabins in the valley, in various states of disrepair.
One more waterfall. Maybe I should have worn hiking boots. Oh well — next time.
Here's a bridge I crossed on the way back down. I thought itl looked interesting.
I hiked back along the slope behind the town.
As the hotel came into view, I began to hear the family whistle. I whistled back and took this photo of my parents waving on the balcony of our hotel room.
After a quick shower, we walked to a nice little restaurant for dinner.
As we walked back along the quay toward the hotel, an expres boat similar to the one we took from Flå arrived to drop off some passengers.
And finally we had a cup of coffee on the back deck of the hotel, and watched the color on the mountains and clouds change as the sun set behind us.


A web platform to review the status of Recruitment Agencies has been launched. The plarform allows workers to comment on their experiences, rate the recruitment agencies and learn about their rights.
The ITUC has launched the Migrant Worker "Recruitment Adviser" Platform www.recruitmentadvisor.org to protect migrant workers from abusive employment practices, by providing them with peer-to-peer reviews about recruitment agencies in their country of origin and destination. The website has been launched in Nepal, Indonesia and Philippines at once. Initially available in English, Nepali, Indonesian and Tagalog, it will be further developed in more languages.
In Nepal there are thousands of Man power agencies and lists of all Manpower agencies can be found in the Website www.recruitmentadvisor.org . This platform can help migrant workers make critical choices at the time of planning their journey to work in a foreign country.

Intelligent Cities Exhibition & Conference (ICEC) 2015, (www.icec-mea.com) the Middle East and Africa's foremost smart and sustainable cities event announced today this years featured speakers' lineup, including an impressive array of international experts. This year ICEC is taking place 29-30 September in Cairo, Egypt bringing together global industry leaders and investors to the region's premier gathering place for those looking to develop sustainable intelligent cities.
The two day exhibition and conference brings together over 600 senior level decision makers and over 3,000 participants to discuss and showcase latest technologies, sustainable solutions and products as well as best practices on managing, designing and building the cities of tomorrow.
Driven by the demand for advanced and 'always on' solutions and services, the Middle East is expected to play a leading role in the development of smart cities. The need to improve existing infrastructure and intelligently maximize current resources is further fueling demand. Smart cities bring value added benefits to developers and city planners by increasing investment returns. While new services built on cutting edge technologies enrich citizens' quality of life.
ICEC is backed by industry leaders such as ABB, Ecologica, R&M, Emaar, LG Electronics, Reaya Holding, and TriGranit to name a few. It is the leading event to gain insight on how to generate significant returns by turning your development into an intelligent sustainable city.
ICEC brings together the most influential real estate investors, developers, city planners, consultants, technology providers, architects, designers, government and telecoms authorities, systems integrators as well as contractors and building material providers.
Topics to be addressed by industry experts include FTTx, triple play, telecom, mobility, green technology, security systems, data centers, access control, wiring devices, environmental analysis, connected cars, home automation, irrigation systems, renewable energies, access control, digital signage, parking systems, meteorological technologies, unified communications, residential & enterprise cabling, water & waste water treatment, garbage collection, facilities management systems, high speed communication, BMS, electrical distribution, surveillance and green building materials.
SDEC is the region's foremost sustainable developments event to be held early April 2016 in Cairo, Egypt.

A tactical analysis of Rangers' last visit to Motherwell this season. Motherwell's hopes of securing a top-six Scottish Premiership finish is over after they lost 3-1 against Aberdeen at Pittodrie. However, Motherwell, on the wave of a five home game winning streak have never won six in a row in either the Scottish Premiership or Scottish Premier League. Rangers, after a tactical change and a win over Hearts, went to Fir Park unbeaten there in their last 42 league meetings.
Motherwell were back along familiar lines, with Alex Gorrin replacing Carl McHugh in the midfield. Motherwell with academy graduates David Turnbull, Jake Hastie and Allan Campbell illustrated this was a very young Motherwell side. However, there was no start for the returning Chris Cadden.
Rangers made two changes, Katić and Candeias coming in for Kent and Worrall. Rangers have now made 99 changes to their Scottish Premiership starting line ups. The most in a Scottish Premiership this season. This was a selection where six players have English Premier League experience.
Motherwell in a 4-3-3 was a change from the midweek 4-1-4-1 versus Aberdeen. Out of possession, they looked to press Rangers as they entered the middle third. In possession, they were forced to go wide with Rangers blocking central areas.
Rangers again in a 4-3-3 had the triumvirate of Jack, Kamara and Davis in midfield. It was a very similar game model to the previous game. Where the front three work in a narrow central triangle. A slight difference, as opposed to rotations of the three, Candeias would drop deeper and Arfield would go beyond Defoe.
Although the three Rangers' goals were excellent one-touch finishes from Arfield, Motherwell contributed greatly to their own downfall. Poor decision making and a very open shape gave Rangers too much time and possession.
When the Motherwell front three went to press Rangers in their first phase build up. There was a large disconnect between the first and second lines of Motherwell's pressure.
Space between Motherwell's lines of pressure.
Above, in the build-up to the first goal, Candeias drops into the gap. Goldson is allowed to play a simple pass to Candeias, already on the half turn.
Candeias between the lines, already looking to play forward.
This allows Candeias to then play a straight ball to Defoe.
Candeias plays to Defoe, who plays through for Arfield.
The midfield did not provide enough cover for the back four. The midfield line is too deep to be able to place pressure on the ball behind their first line of pressure. It is also horizontally stretched making it unable to block the passing lanes.
In their previous match versus Hearts, Rangers played and attacked centrally. Perhaps a better option for Motherwell would have been maintaining the previous formation 4-1-4-1 with McHugh protecting the back four.
Rangers would have expected a physically intense defence from a team with an average of eight for Passes per Defensive Actions (PPDA). But in this match, it was 12.29, that is Rangers were allowed 50% more passes per defensive actions from Motherwell. Was this down to the formation? Or was it a sub-conscience lack of motivation? Or both?
Rangers' shape, a work in progress?
Out of possession, Rangers sat in a back four being protected centrally by the midfield three. Forcing Motherwell to go wide and at times to go long. If Motherwell played wide to Grimshaw or Tait, Jack or Kamara would go wide to press. If they played it to Hastie or Ariyibi, Flanagan or Tavernier would go to press. This was successful in restricting Motherwell to their first shot on target to the 57th minute.
Rangers forcing Motherwell to go wide.
Rangers have increased the tempo of their first phase build up. Full backs Tavernier and Flanagan go high and wide, one of the midfield three drops back to link with the centre backs. This function is usually fulfilled by Davis and allows Kamara and Jack to go above Motherwell's first line of pressure. All three are comfortable on the ball and look to play forward.
If Rangers could not penetrate Motherwell's second line of pressure centrally, they used the midfield to go wide. With the full-backs, Tavernier and Flanagan already high and wide attracting Ariyibi or Hastie. Candeias and Arfield coming into the central area and attracting Grimshaw and Tait. Jack and Kamara would look to exploit the space in the advanced wide areas.
It is worth commenting on Daniel Candeias part in all three of Rangers' goals. Passing the through ball to Defoe at the first. Pressing Turnbull and winning possession for the second. Finally pressing Motherwell's goalkeeper Gillespie into rushing a clearance from a pass back that led to the final goal.
Often overlooked and sometimes criticised, he is a hard-working effective part of the team. For the season, his expected assists per 90 minutes are 0.2, this is better than James Forrest (0.18) and Callum McGregor (0.16). His figure for this game was 0.32.
Steve Robinson has stated in the past that he is changing the profile or identity of his team. Previously a physically robust and combative side at times overstepping the mark. Now a younger, more controlled positional team. It must cause him great concern about how inept his side's defending was. Hastie and Ariyibi could not provide enough invention to get behind a compact Rangers defence which led to a frustrating day for Curtis Main.
Rangers have implemented a style of play without Morelos, either by chance or design, that has shown signs of improvement and consistency in two games. However, neither opposition showed great resistance. Gerrard will have grounds for claiming an improvement, nevertheless, the acid tests are still to come.

"The Origins of the Montgomery Bus Boycott"
While many schoolchildren are familiar with the common account of Rosa Parks's arrest for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery bus, Garrow's interpretation provides a more sophisticated look at those events. Garrow's Rosa Parks was not merely a tired African-American woman who made a spontaneous decision to keep her seat. Rather, she was a knowing participant in an organized attempt to make social change in the segregated South. Two aspects of the protest are noteworthy. First is the organization behind the movement. Garrow points out that organized black activism existed in Montgomery for at least six years before Parks's arrest. However, factionalism and disunity within the organization had hampered previous protests. Indeed, at least two other black women had previously been arrested for precisely the same offense, but their arrests had not prompted any significant organized response.
In addition, Parks's arrest and the subsequent boycott were so well managed that their success is attributable to the planning of the events. The arrest and protest had been planned long before they happened, and Parks had been chosen precisely because her character and dignity made her a sympathetic character.

Senate Hearing Scheduled to Discuss Cyber Attacks on Financial Industry
Olivia Ferguson
In the last week, Sony has struggled to recover from a cyber attack that leaked the payrolls of employees, of which include social security numbers, addresses, and account information. Retail hacks have occurred frequently in the last year and over the summer JPMorgan was also attacked. Personal information is at risk and the public is realizing that something needs to be done.
The JPMorgan breach compromised the account information of approximately 83 MN households and small businesses. Customer names, addresses, phone numbers and email details were taken. In response, the Senate Banking committee is scheduled to hold a hearing Wednesday to discuss ways to protect the financial industry from such attacks. Testimonies will be heard from representatives of the FBI, the Secret Service, the Treasury Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. There are currently no representatives from the financial services scheduled.
As quoted in an article by Bloomberg, Greg Medcraft, chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission says,
Cyber crime is a global problem that requires a global solution… The links between market players and infrastructure mean that the impact of a cyber attack can spread quickly and has the potential to dangerously affect the integrity and efficiency of global markets."
Industry experts note a need for governments agencies to work with private institutions to preserve "the integrity of the financial system." The New York Times reports cyber attacks on financial institutions are becoming a matter of increasing concern for regulators. This hearing is hoped to be a step in the direction of bringing security measures up to speed.

"Freud's great unanswered question, 'What does a woman want?' seems to be hanging over this round of collections, and it's already turned up some funny, off-beam stabbings around in the dark. Funny, that is, because isn't it obvious? What we want is a casual way of dressing that's also formal enough, new yet not ridiculously gimmicky, confident yet not egregiously aggressive, traditional in a comfortable way, yet also fresh in such a manner that we feel compelled to buy it. Well, let's hand it to Dries Van Noten for coming up with a personal squaring of all those apparently oh-so-difficult contradictions." -Sarah Mower, in her review of the collection.

How Can Manchester United Close The Gap On City Next Season?
Posted: June 8, 2019 in Arsenal, Chelsea, Football, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Opinion, Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur
Tags: Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson
What a season it turned out to be for both Manchester-based soccer clubs in 2018/19. We all know the story with City – keeping Liverpool at bay with a staggering run of wins under Pep Guardiola to claim the league title.
But where does this leave Manchester United? Once, they were the team that everyone feared in English football, but this has slipped over the years since Sir Alex Ferguson left. 2018/19 was a frustrating season for them – certainly for the first part of it under José Mourinho. The latter part of the season did pick up somewhat once new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær took his seat in the dugout. A sixth-place league finish is not what United fans expect though, and they are certainly not happy about the gulf between them and City.
This can be seen in the odds given by online bookmakers for United to challenge for the title next year. Currently, they are being quoted at 20/1 to win the league by most PA sportsbooks., which shows where they are now. This is especially true when City are being given odds of just 8/13! For football fans who feel that United could do it though, this is a tempting bet to take on.
How can United bridge the gap next season and make them worth betting on?
Clear out the dead wood
Perhaps the most obvious thing that United could do is simply get rid of the underperforming players in their squad. Players such as Alexis Sánchez, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian have got a lot of stick this time around for their average performances. Many feel that these kinds of players on sky-high wages need moving on to help improve the picture at Old Trafford.
Be smarter in the transfer window
Of course, the flip side of clearing out the dead wood is then buying better players in their place. This is something that the top brass in charge of transfers at Old Trafford have got lots of criticism for lately. To say that United's player acquisition has been suspect at times over the last few years is an understatement. They must work smarter and harder in the transfer window to sign hungry, young and energetic talent to improve their chances.
Give Solskjær time
What United must not do is panic within the first few weeks of the new season and sack Solskjær. Like Guardiola at City, he must be given time to implement his playing style and build up the squad he wants. Any knee-jerk reactions from the board would do no good and only make the time needed to close the gap longer.
2019/20 will be an interesting season
There is little doubt that next season will be fascinating once more. City are expected by many to win the title again and with comparative ease. If United can improve over the summer though and Solskjær can galvanize his troops to new efforts, then it may not be so simple.

SteelSeries Arctis 5 Headset Review: Comfortability Sounds So Good
A comfortable headset for the marathon gamer, the Arctis 5 firmly sits in the middle of its line in both sound and functionality.
by Robert Kazmierczak
Steel Series' peripherals are known for being pretty great, and the Arctis 5 is a solid example of the company's consistency and emphasis on excellence. Part of the Arctis headset line, it's hardly surprising to learn that the Arctis 5 is designed to remain comfortable for hours on end while providing quality sound.
The Arctis 5 sits comfortably as a mid-tier option between the other headsets in the Arctis line. And while it lacks some of the more impressive features of the Arctis 7, it still ends up being a decent upgrade from the Arctis 3. Coming in at $100, it provides most of the bells and whistles you'd expect of a headset in its range, but most importantly, it provides the comfort and sound to back it all up.
Similar to other Arctis headsets, the Arctis 5 uses an adjustable ski band that helps distribute its weight across the top of the head, helping you wear these cans for hours on end without any discomfort. Easily one of the most comfortable headsets I've ever worn, the Arctis 5 was able to stand up to all of the gaming marathons I've been running recently.
The padded ear cups sit cozily without pinching my glasses, which is an impressive feat for a headset of any make or caliber. Even if you do run into problems with glasses, it's a simple matter to loosen the ski band a bit, readjusting to get things just right. In fact, the Arctis 5 is arguably one of the most easily adjustable headsets on the market.
For the most part, I've never been one to get hung up on sound performance. I had a set of speakers that worked well for the longest times, even if other people said that it wasn't the best quality of sound. Knowing that I say this: the Arctis 5 might not be the best in the Arctis headset line when it comes to sound quality, but when I first put the headset on, it was like stepping into a new world of gaming. The fidelity of sound was infinitely better than what I was used to, and I will never again accept anything of lower quality.
The upgrade in sound provided a new experience for some of my more-often played games. While playing League of Legends and SMITE, I found that I was able to hear certain champion abilities and ults being used nearby. But by and large, my favorite game to play with the Arctis 5 was Warframe. I was visited by the Shadow Stalker in a solo run and clearly hearing the unsettling whispers announcing his approach was a terrifying experience.
Like the other models in the SteelSeries' Arctis line, the Arctis 5 works pretty well if you decide to just go old-fashioned plug and play, but it really shines when equalized via the SteelSeries Engine 3 program. Through the software, you can change up myriad options to get the sound exactly where you want it. You can adjust treble, bass, mid. You can use either stereo or Dolby 7.1 surround sound. And you can use the headset's many presets for movies, games, and music if you don't want to get your hands dirty, making things a tad bit simpler.
On top of that, you can make sound settings for almost every game in your library. Boasting 150 individual configurations, you won't find a setting you don't like, even if some sound a bit similar to each other.
The Arctis 5's microphone was surprisingly effective and its bidirectional design actually comes with some pretty awesome capabilities. I tend to run into problems with microphones because I have a fan pointed right at me during almost all of my gaming sessions and consequently, mics always pick up that low drone. However, the Arctis 5 is different; impressively, it avoids those problems by using a microphone that ignores a lot of ambience coming in from the sides -- and I had a ton of people telling me that I wasn't allowed to use a different mic ever again.
Easily my favorite thing about the Arctis 5's microphone was the ability to slide it back into the left earpiece. This feature isn't new to the Arctis line, but it's fantastically useful and always worth noting. It was nice not having to move the mic around to keep it out of my face whenever I wasn't using it. Plus, if you ever decide to use the headset to listen to music on the bus ride to work or on an afternoon walk, you won't look like you're wearing a gaming headset -- which is pretty neat.
There aren't a lot of serious hang-ups for the Arctis 5. The sound quality is great and it's as comfortable as you could hope a headset would be. Honestly, the only problem I had was with the various cords getting tangled, which is just as much my fault for not doing a better job at keeping them tidy.
All in all, the Arctis 5 is a wonderful headset, especially at its price of $100. It's obviously outclassed by the Arctis 7, but if you can't shell out the $150 dollars for the top-tier model, then the Arctis 5 is a solid second option.

This is SO GOOD! It's so creamy-delicious. The Vanilla pudding really pops. It's well balanced, the Vanilla flavor isn't overwhelming like some that I have tried. This is one of my new favorites. I will definitely be ordering this again.


One land animal: a fearsome predator, often underestimated due to its depiction as a common children's' toy, the teddy bear. Another, a sea-dweller: the fiercest fish in the ocean, but one that cannot swim backwards. A forever pondered-upon question is the query of bear vs shark. Given a completely level playing field, with enough water for the shark to swim unhindered and little enough water for the bear to move unencumbered, who would win the epic showdown? There are three reasons why a bear would win the fight: the bear has trained its whole life to catch and kill fish to eat, the bear has five weapons compared to the shark's one weapon, and the bear has the ability to take advantage of the lack of any defenses for the shark.
Bears eat fish as food, and a shark is simply a glorified fish, nothing more. Therefore, sharks are gourmet bear chow. Bears, in fact, have multiple strategies for catching fish as food: they can stand or sit and wait to surprise an unsuspecting fish, they can run out into the river to pin one down, and some bears even swim like a snorkeler might in order to catch the fish. Bears must be adept at catching fish in order to survive, and a shark is simply a bigger fish, so it is a more complicated version of what a typical bear must do anyway every day in order to survive.
The bear has five weapons: its front right paw, back right paw, front left paw, back left paw, and mouth with powerful jaw and teeth. The shark only has its teeth within its mouth, nothing more. Though the shark does indeed have more teeth inside of its mouth, it is still a single weapon, compared to the five weapons of the bear. In this situation, the bear will outnumber the shark in terms of defenses by four. Thus, a bear is significantly advantaged in a fight between the bear and the shark, and would be able to conquer the shark easily.
Although some may say that a shark is more brutal and bloodthirsty than a bear, it lacks the proper defenses for a fight. For example, sharks can only swim forward, so if the bear attacks from the back, the shark is completely and utterly defenseless and cannot possibly win. A shark also has no outer fur to protect itself from blows. If the shark is struck hard, it will likely bleed until it bleeds out. As such, the shark has too few defenses to be properly prepared for a battle of this magnitude, whereas the bear is more agile and has protective fur, allowing it to win.
In summary, in a fair battle between a bear and a shark, a bear would win, because the bear has trained its whole life to catch and kill fish to eat, the bear has five weapons compared to the shark's one weapon, and the lack of any defenses for the shark. This oft-pondered question can now be put to rest, as it has been finally answered. Beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt, the bear would win the fight with the shark.

This is very well organized. It has a nice thesis at the beginning that you manage to stick to throughout. I am fully convinced a bear would be a shark in a battle to the death. However, if I were given the choice to either fight a bear or fight a shark, I would choose bear without hesitation. The reason is because we are totally helpless in the water. Once we step into the water we are no longer the apex predator. Also because its a loose loose situation and I would rather die feeling like I am fighting for my life and have a chance for survival rather than be completely helpless.

St. Charles North football player out of ICU, uncle reports
Aidan Carlson

St. Charles North sophomore football player Aidan Carlson was transferred out of the intensive care unit at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge Wednesday, his uncle, Sean Peters, announced.
Carlson is "already making some encouraging strides in his recovery," Peters wrote in an update on a GoFundMe page he established to support the Carlson family. "He has good moments, tough moments and some sad moments. He has a super tough road ahead of him but he has shown courage and resilience in every phase of his injury so far."
Carlson, 15, suffered a severe brain injury last Friday during the sophomore game at St. Charles East. He played the entire game and left the field with no visible signs of injury but later fell unconscious in the parking lot on the way to the locker room, multiple sources close to the situation said.
The running back/linebacker was taken by ambulance to Delnor Hospital in Geneva and airlifted to Advocate Lutheran General, where he underwent emergency neurosurgery.
Carlson underwent multiple procedures and remained in a medically induced coma until he was taken out of it and awoke Monday evening.
"This is best news we've had all weekend and we're happy to share it with everyone," Peters wrote on the fundraising site Monday.
The St. Charles community has kept Carlson in mind since the injury.
"Please keep Aidan in (your) thoughts," St. Charles North varsity football coach Rob Pomazak tweeted Wednesday along with a photo of Carlson's No. 19 jersey. "The road he will travel is long and difficult."
Carlson's sophomore teammates will honor him Friday by bringing his jersey to midfield for the coin flip when St. Charles North hosts Glenbard North, a source close to the football program said.
As of late Wednesday night the GoFundMe page had raised $28,495 from 469 donors.
"We can't begin to thank everyone who donated and shared his GoFundMe," Peters wrote in the update. "The outpouring of support and generosity is truly amazing and the Carlson family is overcome with gratitude. Thank you for supporting my nephew and his family. God bless you all!"

La creación es un mural de Diego Rivera, realizado en 1922, en el Anfiteatro Simón Bolívar del Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, en la Ciudad de México. El mural tiene unas dimensiones de 4,80 × 11,45 m. Se trata del primer mural de Diego Rivera y en este retrata la creación del pueblo mexicano, colocando al centro un hombre que surge del árbol de la vida.

Contexto histórico-artístico
En 1922, Diego Rivera pintó su primer mural en México, el cual realizó en el interior del Anfiteatro Simón Bolívar.

La creación es el primer mural realizado por Rivera, se encuentra en lo que hoy se conoce como el Colegio de San Ildefonso. Su técnica es a base de resina de copal emulsionada con cera de abeja y una mezcla de pigmentos fundidos con fuego directo.

En el nicho esta la célula original, de donde surge la figura del hombre, con los brazos abiertos en la cruz. La flora y la fauna están inspiradas en el viaje que Rivera realizó a Tehuantepec. En el centro superior, hay un semicírculo azul representando la energía primaria, proyectada hacia tres direcciones. Los laterales corresponden al hombre y la mujer desnudos y sentados: los modelos fueron Amado de la Cueva, su ayudante, y Lupe Marín, con quien Diego se casó.

Historia
En 1921, después de su regreso a México, a Rivera le fue comisionado un gran proyecto, en el que su principal objetivo era pintar la historia de un pueblo desde la época precolombina hasta la revolución.

El político y secretario de educación, José Vasconcelos, patrocinó un programa de muralismo mexicano, así que entre 1922 y 1923, Diego Rivera realizó su primera obra mural importante para el Auditorio Bolívar, que fue titulada La creación.

Descripción

El tema principal del mural es el mestizaje del pueblo mexicano.

En la parte inferior izquierda hay una mujer sentada y desnuda, después se encuentran las musas de las ciencias y de las artes; también se encuentra representada la Música, vestida con piel de oveja y tocando una flauta doble; el Canto tiene un vestido rojo y tres manzanas en su regazo; la comedia tiene trenzas; y la Danza, se encuentra de pie y con los brazos extendidos hacia arriba. Junto a este grupo de musas, se encuentran personificadas las tres virtudes teologales: fe, esperanza y caridad.

En la parte inferior derecha está representada la figura de un hombre desnudo y sentado; asimismo aparece la Fábula, con un vestido azul y oro; también está la Tradición, que lleva un vestido y rebozo carmesí; la Poesía Erótica está representada con cabello rubio; y también se observa a la tragedia, que tiene el rostro oculto tras de una máscara de teatro. Arriba de estas representaciones aparecen las virtudes cardinales: Prudencia, Justicia, Continencia y Fortaleza. Las modelos fueron Julieta Crespo de la Serna, Lupe Marín y María Dolores Asúnsolo.

En el área superior de cada escena hay dos figuras angelicales sentadas sobre una nube: en la izquierda la Sabiduría y en la derecha la Ciencia. Las modelos utilizadas fueron Palma Guillén y Luz Jiménez.

Estilo y técnica
Rivera realizó el mural en encáustica, técnica compleja en la que se utiliza cera fundida, resina para aglutinar los pigmentos y se aplica fuego directo.

Rivera dijo que la técnica era de la griega antigua, pero al mismo tiempo decidió crear la encáustica mexicana, ya que a la técnica le agregó resina de copal, y usó un soplete para fundir los colores.
