How Do I Find a Good Intellectual Property Attorney?
How can you identify the right attorney to assist you?
Intellectual property takes many forms, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. When individuals or businesses need to protect their intellectual property (IP), through steps such as registration and litigation, they often need the assistance of a trained attorney.
Finding a lawyer is easy, but finding the right lawyer can be more difficult. Many people who have never hired an attorney before mistakenly assume that all lawyers are basically the same. Much like doctors, however, most lawyers are highly specialized. Just as you would not see a podiatrist about a heart problem, you should not see a real estate attorney if someone stole your copyrighted software.
So, finding a lawyer is in part about finding someone with the right background and experience. Depending on the nature and complexity of your intellectual property issue, you may need an attorney with a particular subspecialty, such as patent litigation, media transactions, or trademark defense.
Beyond specialty, you will want to find an attorney who is a good personal match for you and your needs. How can you find the right match, and what criteria should you consider before making your final decision?
Bar associations are essentially professional organizations of lawyers. They are typically not-for-profit organizations that help lawyers network with one another and stay current on legal developments. There are national bar associations (the largest of which is the American Bar Association), state bar associations (such as the New York State Bar Association), and even city-specific bar associations (for example, the Chicago Bar Association).
Almost all bar associations have created "sections" or "committees" for each specialty area. These would range from criminal law to bankruptcy law to real estate law. On the website of the bar association in your city or state, try to navigate to the committee entitled "Intellectual Property." Many bar associations will list the committee members and/or the chair of the committee, with a contact email address.
These are ordinarily good folks to contact. While the chair him- or herself might not be the right person to act as your attorney, he or she is clearly involved with the intellectual property community in your area. Bar associations regularly organize conferences, lectures, and other networking events, which means that the chair likely has a sizable network of contacts, and those contacts are committed to their own professional development.
Some bar associations, particularly larger ones, even have formal referral services. But even if you've already gotten the names of prospective attorneys from elsewhere, it's worth checking on their membership and engagement with their local bar association.
If you wanted to find a good contractor to redo your bathroom, you would probably speak to your neighbors. Similarly, you can often find a good intellectual property lawyer by asking similarly situated individuals or businesses about their legal service providers.
For example, imagine you own a small clothing store and are having a dispute involving your trademark. Surely you know the owners of other clothing, apparel, or luxury stores in town. Give them a call. Ask who they use for their legal needs, particularly for trademark issues. You need not contact a direct competitor, which might feel somewhat awkward. Instead, focus on businesses that are substantially similar but do not directly compete with your own.
You'll find that many business owners are more than willing to network, mentor, and offer referrals. (Indeed, they may ask you to return the favor one day, perhaps suggesting a good accountant or tax specialist).
Talking with clients is often the best way to find honest guidance on attorneys. Clients are usually loyal to their attorneys, but are open about their attorney's strengths and weaknesses. For example, clients are likely to complain if their attorney is unresponsive or slow. These pieces of negative information can be just as helpful as a recommendation when you seek representation.
Whatever your industry, chances are there are professional associations that support your work. As discussed above, bar associations fill that role for attorneys. But there are associations for accountants, jewelers, professors, and just about every other type of profession.
Those types of associations, which often have regional offices or chapters, can be incredibly valuable mechanisms for finding out people's experiences with IP lawyers. Try calling the association's office, or attending one of their meetings. The association may even have a preselected roster of local attorneys who have been recommended or screened by members.
You can find out a great deal about a prospective attorney's reputation, character, and skills by viewing his or her website and any publications, as well as any relevant online news articles.
And of course, here at Lawyers.com, you can ask to be connected to a lawyer or can search for attorneys by area of law and geography or by name. Attorney profiles display contact information, list topics of expertise, and show ratings—by both clients and other legal professionals.
Needless to say, you should not hire the first lawyer whose name you find. A lawyer will be an important professional connection, a trusted advisor who will stay in your life far longer than the particular intellectual property dispute you now face. Treat the hiring process accordingly.
First, call the lawyer's office and schedule a meeting. In-person meetings are often better than phone conversations for establishing rapport. Clarify over the phone whether the attorney charges for an initial consultation or not, and ask what materials you should bring.
Second, when you meet with the lawyer, come prepared with specific questions. Get your lawyer's take on your particular situation, and ask specifically what sorts of similar disputes or issues the lawyer has handled in the past. A lawyer who declines to answer, or indicates having never handled a case like yours before, should perhaps drop lower on your list.
Third, do not be afraid to trust your gut; at least to some degree. You will need to work closely with your lawyer, sometimes over a period of years and sometimes under stressful circumstances. You want to be with someone who makes you feel comfortable and valued. While it is difficult to judge someone in a short consultation meeting, you can certainly collect some data. Does the lawyer come prepared? Does he or she ask questions about your goals and concerns, or merely talk at you? Does the lawyer suggest next-steps and then send you an email or call following the meeting?
All of this data may reveal your potential lawyer's responsiveness, commitment, and attitude.

LHF Productions Subpoena Notifications Are Falling on Chicago Comcast Customers
[email protected] | Aug 16, 2016 | Bittorrent |
LHF Productions, Inc. filed 21 BitTorrent copyright infringement cases in the Northern District of Illinois in March and April of 2016. Chicago area internet subscribers have now begun receiving notices that the attorneys for LHF are seeking their personal information to advance their case against these subscribers. The Russell Firm is already representing a number of the defendants in these cases.
LHF Productions is suing for BitTorrent downloads and distribution of the movie "London Has Fallen". If you received a letter from your cable company about a "LHF Productions, Inc." lawsuit, the attorneys for the film are claiming that their experts caught you downloading and distributing the film "London Has Fallen" using a BitTorrent client. They are asking your cable company to give them your name, address and contact information so they can ask you to pay a large settlement or amend their complaint to make you a publicly named defendant in the case.
Attorney Erin Russell always provides a free initial consultation for defendants in these cases. We also always charge a reasonable flat fee for single download cases like the LHF cases. It recently came to our attention that there are firms charging fees of $2,000 and more to settle these cases. No defendant in a single download case should ever pay that much in legal fees to settle. Our flat fee is less than half of that amount. We also offer discounts to members of the military, senior citizens and students.
You can call today and speak with Erin without any cost or obligation at 312-994-2424. Erin has vast experience with these cases both in settlement and in litigation.
The following "London Has Fallen" cases are currently pending in the Northern District of Illinois:

Home • Massachusetts • A taste of the effect Covid-19 has had on the music industry
A taste of the effect Covid-19 has had on the music industry
Colleen Johnson
Editor's Note: I want to preface this post with the fact that I initially started thinking about this piece a week or so into quarantine, when it seemed like maybe it was only going to be a month or so. I realized in the early weeks that in the current situation, we're all handling it differently. I know I could feel fantastic one day then spend the next day purely on Netflix and I'm sure I'm not alone. We all know that this is something that has gotten to numbers which we could never have thought of, and I know that there are some serious long time effects on the music scene. Below the piece, I've included links to relief efforts, in particular some Boston GoFundMe links for our favorite venues and the staff that make those venues so amazing. I'm also super grateful to everyone that contributed to this article and we're Boston, we're resilient. We will get through this. I know many more are suffering in this much more then we are but I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to a variety of people in different aspects of the industry!
Daniel Carswell, a member of long time Boston based band Rebuilder, but also booker for the locally loved Charlie's Kitchen and Hong Kong Harvard Square, in regards to the auto-response he put on all of his show advance emails when the Governor mandated the state closure of gatherings over ten, wrote me, " 'Everything is cancelled. I'm sorry. Please wash your hands. I'm here for everything and anything always.' No one pushed back. What's that hands up emoji? Felt like maybe that's what every message should have been". Joshua Moore and the rest of his bandmates in We Came As Romans showed up to the Palladium in Worcester, MA, ready to start setting up for the show that night and were forced to make the decision to postpone their tour. Something they had been talking about for a few days before, "But when we were in Canada, just a few days before we had to postpone, we started to realize that it was definitely going to affect us in some way. It's a huge bummer the tour was going so well, the best headliner we've ever done in our fifteen years as a band".
We're about a month and a half into this quarantine, give or take, depending on where you are in the world but I remember the day fluidly when we pretty much saw any hopes of tours continuing, prepping to start a tour, just be destroyed. There were more IG Lives that I could ever imagine, was honestly making a schedule sometimes, but it's definitely slowed down and I would hundred percent expect it to. We're all handling this in different ways, but I think we're all starting to fall into our patterns and approaches. So I felt it could be helpful to reach out to members of both the local and national touring, booking community to try and give a small look into the effect that Covid-19 is having on the music industry that we don't always get to see.
But something I think is really important and has been a huge focus of any content I've been posting is that art, music is an armor. While a lot of bands have postponed new albums and that's totally understandable, I've made it a point to continue to write about the new albums coming out, still do interviews and that's on the journalist's side. For artists, they're all taking their own approach to it. I spoke to Kris Allen, of American Idol fame, but has also been a career musician for over ten years and was someone that was really active in trying to provide content by doing live streams early on. Allen said, "Art is a service to others. I felt the need to ramp up things on social media because I wasn't able to provide that service for people in the form of shows. More importantly, we all understand the craziness of these times and a little soft acoustic soul music might just be what makes us feel more sure." Allen was poised to go on his first run of Europe with fellow American Idol alum David Cook which is now postponed to the fall and a handful of May shows which have been canceled for obvious reasons.
And then while some artists have been really active on social media and doing so, others are also pursuing music on their own schedule, their own speed. Moore of We Came As Romans talked about how the second he got home from their tour that was halted just a few days in, he jumped in the studio but obviously things changed when Michigan, another hotspot in the US, issued their shelter in place order. "Now I'm just writing in my bedroom and kind of stockpiling ideas and songs until I can get back into the studio with Nick Sampson and bring them to life," said Moore.
When speaking to Allen too, he's balancing fatherhood and now of course with schools being canceled and parents taking on the homeschooling role, sometimes creating has to take a backseat to parenting. "Being creative right now has been hard for sure. I usually have a lot of time to write during the days to do that. Write. Repeat. Practice. But right now, I have three kids at home all day. I love my children but getting things done like this while they are around is pretty much impossible. There's always when they go to bed but now I want to at the same time at the moment. Teachers deserve 10 times what they are making!"
While it will be a while until touring is able to happen again, it's something on everyone's minds too. The artists as well as obviously those behind the scenes. While rescheduled tours are currently planned as early as July and tours planned for June beginning to be postponed, it's still very unclear if only small shows will be allowed to happen, if it will be done in phases but currently everything in Boston larger than 500 capacity shows are pretty much all postponed or canceled with a lot of venues currently postponing everything up until June 1st. I talked about it a little bit before but a lot of bands were very early on in their tours or about to start one and there are so many elements behind rebooking tours that we don't always think about. I spoke to a long time former Boston guy, Brian Marquis, who now works as the tour manager for one of the biggest artists in the world unquestionably, Billie Eilish, who was only three dates into her long anticipated sold out arena tour. But Marquis has been on the other side too, he toured with his band Therefore I Am relentlessly in their time, ran the Acoustic Basement tour on Warped Tour for many summers, and has grown up in a musical family with his younger brother having to reschedule his upcoming tour as well. He's seen it all.
"As soon as we saw SXSW and Coachella cancel, we knew this was something we would have to contend with at some point and began planning for the worst case scenarios and cancellations/postponement. We ended the tour after just three shows when all the state Government's made the call to curtail all gatherings of more than ten". He also gave some insight into how he and his team have been taking care of each other as best they can in this time, "We're making sure all our crew know what's going on internally with pay and unemployment and helping them locate and apply for other assistance. We keep everyone updated on any progress or new programs to help such as LiveNation's CrewNation (you can find more information here on how you can help) supporting crews around the world. We also check in on each other and share our weird lives at home. Lots of Netflix suggestions and recipes, things to pass the time."
Music is a safe place, it's a community, especially in Boston, it's something I'm so proud of. I've even called certain shows therapeutic in how many people have called Boston their home for the last ten years while they could have easily moved on to other cities but there is something we all love about this city so much. We're resilient but in the meantime, maybe this is an opportunity to really reset and that's also something I asked of the people I spoke to. On that more local level, Carswell is an essential part and leader of this DIY and local greater Boston music scene, and his response was something that is ringing so true for me and many others I'm sure. He responded, "It may seem kind of wild but I'm trying to recharge a bit. Granted, it was a state ordered recharge. But you have to take the positive route when you can. Booking, promoting, then running the shows again and again burns people out. This has been a chance to sort of rekindle why we got into this of sorts?"
Marquis's response was similar in the sense that we know the road will still be here when you're able to go on it, to take it easy on yourself. "Just remember the root of why you got into music in the first place and it'll usually bring you to a place where it's just you and your instrument playing along to favourite records and know that it's always available to you even if you're stuck at home and not on the road. The road will wait, take care of yourself and go easy on yourself."
But what will the rescheduling of tons of tours mean for the fall, a time period that is already normally rocked by so many tours that I'm sure are yet to be announced even. With most rescheduled tours currently booked for August onwards, it's going to potentially make for some wild time. Or what if certain size shows aren't allowed to happen? We've already seen it where support bands can't do the rescheduled run or some huge tours like Bayside's 20th anniversary, they had to straight cancel. Moore and the rest of his bandmates in WCAR were graduating their first album, "To Plant A Seed", the debut album, featuring their late beloved clean singer Kyle Pavone with insane support from The Devil Wears Prada, Gideon and Dayseeker. Moore said, "Part of the reason the tour was doing so well is because of TDWP, Gideon and Dayseeker. I"m sure that once people are allowed to attend concerts with no fear of contracting a deadly virus, everyone is going to want to be back out there enjoying life in the way that they used to".
On a more local level, where shows may be able to happen earlier, or bands may start doing smaller regional tours, who knows what's going to happen. We can't predict anything yet. The local scene in Boston is one that hustles hard to both play and work on their craft but a lot of musicians as well as their supporters are also servers, bartenders, have a day job, and like Carswell says, that's a large majority of the people who support our local scene too and currently are also no fault of their own unemployed. On this matter, Carswell said, "It's a coin flip to me. On one side, I have to stay hopeful that the first string of DIY shows will be packed and positive. The type of shows you dream of playing you know? On the other side of the coin live music will be like every other slice of the community pie: we all need time to recover. A lot of the community that supports the Monday night show (at Charlie's) is currently out of work. Once the ban is lifted we are all putting our head down and going to work to get our head above water".
For now, let's look to the future, take care of ourselves the best we can. I know money is tight for a lot of us but it's tight for a lot of the people that are normally serving us up beers, smiles and a lot of rock & roll.

Browns delay naming Mayfield new starting QB

By Macomb Daily |
PUBLISHED: September 21, 2018 at 5:56 p.m. | UPDATED: June 17, 2021 at 5:30 a.m.
CLEVELAND (AP) – The beer-fueled bash spilled into the streets around FirstEnergy Stadium as delirious Browns fans walked – some staggered – while chanting for their new hero, the streak buster.
"Ba-ker May-field," they screamed.
They've named their new starting quarterback. Coach Hue Jackson isn't quite there yet.
Jackson said he isn't ready to "officially" identify his starter for next week's game in Oakland, but all signs point to Mayfield taking over in Cleveland following his dazzling NFL debut on Thursday night.
The No. 1 pick in this year's draft replaced concussed starter Tyrod Taylor late in the first half and led the Browns (1-1-1) on four scoring drives as they erased a two-touchdown deficit to beat the New York Jets 21-17 and end Cleveland's 19-game winless streak – the NFL's second longest since 1970.
Jackson seems to only be delaying the inevitable: Mayfield's the guy.
And if Jackson doesn't' pick the celebrated and uber-confident rookie, he won't have to jump in Lake Erie again. Browns fans will throw him in. This one's a no-brainer.
Jackson, who gave his players the weekend off, wants to watch more tape and speak with his staff and general manager John Dorsey before making a decision that Mayfield has already made for him.
Although Jackson wouldn't publicly say Mayfield is his new starter, he gave strong indication he's leaning that way by telling reporters on a conference call, "I think that you guys all feel good about where things are headed."
It's Baker time.
Out of respect for Taylor, who is in concussion protocol with his third head injury in 13 months, Jackson wants to tell his two quarterbacks his decision in person on Monday before sharing it with the world.
Cleveland's plan was to bring Mayfield along slowly and groom him under Taylor, who guided Buffalo to the playoffs last season. But Taylor's injury along with his struggles in three starts has altered the Browns' strategy.
Taylor has completed 41 of 84 passes for 462 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, adding 125 yards rushing on 16 carries.
But even before he was knocked from Thursday's game, Cleveland's offense was going nowhere as Taylor was 4 of 14 for 19 yards and was sacked three times. Jackson sidestepped addressing whether he was going to pull Taylor at halftime, but it had to be running through his mind because anyone watching the game was thinking the same thing.
Mayfield's first regular-season game as a pro couldn't have gone much better. He completed 17 of 23 passes for 201 yards and was sacked once in just a little more than one half. His stats could have been more impressive if not for a drop by sure-handed receiver Jarvis Landry, and rookie Antonio Callaway letting a long throw down the sideline slip through his hands.
"He made some tremendous throws," Jackson said. "Obviously, he was able to move the team. Played with some rhythm. Got the ball into the playmakers' hands and gave them chances to make plays. There are some things that he has to clean up, obviously. We can't have the ball out on the ground. There are some progression things that we will work through.
"Overall for his first game out under the lights in that environment in that situation, he handled all of that extremely well and played well."
Most impressively, Mayfield did it on a short work week and without taking any snaps in practice with Cleveland's first-team offense. In fact, the 2-point conversion try he caught in the third quarter came on the first time he had ever run the play.
But just as he did while winning the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma, Mayfield elevated everyone around him, and in turn electrified 60,000 fans and a national TV audience.
Mayfield took it all in stride, displaying humility that some wondered if he had after some questionable on-field antics while he starred for the Sooners. This game ranked with any of his wins.
"This one is definitely up there, being the first NFL game that I have played in," he said. "First regular-season one that actually counts. It is definitely up there for me. I have had some great memories, but I am just getting started."
NOTES: Other than Taylor, LB James Burgess (knee) was the only other notable injury against the Jets. Burgess started for LB Christian Kirksey, who missed his second straight game with an ankle injury. … Jackson said he's not worried about giving his players so much freedom over the weekend. "We can't follow them around. We can't baby them," he said. "At the same time, we know who the guys are who we have to have an idea of where they are and what they have been doing. They have been good about letting us know, and we will definitely stay in contact with the majority of the guys."

On December 9th, 1862, John H. Came wrote home to his sister, Miss Eliza C. Came, of West Buxton, Maine. He was a 1st Lieut. in Company C, 27th Maine. He died while serving in this regiment, on 16 Jan 1863, from typhoid fever. His body was returned home, and buried in the family cemetery in Buxton. He didn't marry.
try with a great deal of joy.

son. He is sick in the hospital.
him self to much this winter.
Above is an 1861 map of Washington and Alexandria. Lieut Came wrote from Camp Seward, which was located somewhere along Arlington Heights. Bailey's Crossroads and Munson's Hill, where Co. C had done picket duty, is highlighted to the left of map. Camp Casey, where Lt Came would pass away in Jan 1863, was located south of Fairfax Seminary, northwest of Alexandria. Camp Vermont, where the regiment had spent the latter part of December '62, was just south of red arrow marked at bottom of map.
Sister Eliza C Came, daughter of Abraham L and Annis (Green) Came, was born 1833 in Buxton. She never married, and died in 1885. She is buried in the Came family cemetery.
"Warren" is referring to Joseph F Warren, also of Co C, who was 2nd Lt. at the time of this letter writing. Following John Came's death, he became 1st Lt (and later captain, when John Hill was promoted to major).
"Sam Davis" - I believe this is Samuel L Davis of Standish, Maine, who was captain of Co K, 25th Maine Infantry. He was "discharged for incompetency" on Dec 8th 1862 [according to ME archives index card].
There is also has some newer writing along the top that erroneously listed John's death as "Dec 16th", instead of Jan 16th.
Frank C Came, of Co B, the fellow from York, was indeed Charles Came's son. I haven't trace their ancestry to see if or how closely related they may have been.


Poetry and music are inextricably linked. Together, words and music can have a profound effect on the listener. Just as a poet carefully manipulates text to create poetry in various lengths and styles, composers also seek to create a meaningful composition by crafting musical elements. When text and music are combined to create a song, there must be a marriage between the text and the music. A composer then becomes not just a musical craftsman, but a poetic scholar as they seek to create a significant composition. E. E. Cummings writes poetry in a nontraditional way, setting text with space and punctuation to create meaning and ambiguity. This study examines how five American composers create musical meaning from Cummings's poem "in Just-." Included in this thesis is a brief biographical background of Cummings, followed by an in-depth textual and formal analysis of "in Just-." A recording of Cummings's own public performance of the poem is examined in a similar fashion. The next section of the paper provides musical analyses of five settings of the poem composed by John Cage, John Duke, Dominick Argento, Priscilla McLean, and Blaise Ferrandino. Each of these five subsections includes brief background, an analysis of form, and commentary on text setting and affect.

Top 10 Nature Images of 2021: Undersea Treasures, Historic Sites, and Reasons for Hope
Our most popular Instagram posts showcase nature—and why it's worth protecting
Article December 17, 2021 By: Tom Dillon Read time:
In some ways, 2021 has been a promising year for protecting our planet, with progress toward such goals as safeguarding 30% of the ocean by 2030. At the same time, 2021 also reminded us how far we still have to go to secure the health of the natural world.
Here are 10 of the most popular posts from 2021 from our @PewEnvironment Instagram feed—images that showcase some of the year's largest strides in conservation and critical ecosystems and species that still need our attention.
10. A Southern Ocean Seal
A post shared by Pew Environment (@pewenvironment)
A Weddell seal peers from the surface of Antarctica's Southern Ocean into an uncertain future. A 2021 report warned that climate change is pushing the region to a tipping point, which may affect global marine and climate systems.
Unfortunately, at its 2021 annual meeting, the body responsible for protecting Southern Ocean wildlife failed to expand needed Antarctic protections.
9. Flocking to the shore
The Delaware Bayshore region attracts 300 to 400 species of migrating birds, including the snowy egret in the first frame above, making it the second-largest shorebird congregation in North America.
People also love the region: A recent study estimated that the leisure and recreation economies alone generate at least several million dollars every year for the watershed's communities.
(See more Bayshore scenes.)
8. A ghostly lair haunted by … miners?
Scientists discovered this octopus species in 2016 and named this one Casper. Today, companies and government want to mine the deep seabed, which harbors deposits of valuable minerals. But that mining could irreversibly harm some of Earth's least explored ecosystems, which experts believe are home to many undiscovered species.
At a minimum, such a deep-sea gold rush could throw ecosystems out of balance, with untold consequences for ocean health.

7. Costa Rica protects mighty mangroves
This year, Costa Rica continued its conservation leadership by committing to protect coastal wetlands, such as this mangrove stand, as a way to meet its Paris Agreement climate targets. Coastal wetlands such as mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and tidal salt marshes absorb three to five times more carbon per acre than other tropical forests.
6. A tale of two penguins
On Penguin Awareness Day on Jan. 20, 2021, we shared the diverging fates of gentoo (in the first photo) and chinstrap penguins on Antarctica's Elephant Island.
Gentoos, which can thrive on ice-free beaches, have more than doubled their numbers on the island since 1970. Chinstraps here, though, are in decline. It's not yet clear why, but researchers suggest that they may be casualties of a rapidly changing ecosystem as the climate warms.

5. Preserving Patagonia
Earlier this year, Chile announced a more than $5 million investment in Patagonia National Park, home to electric blue lakes, ancient cave art, and snowcapped peaks. The funds will go toward modernizing park infrastructure and helping the local Chile Chico community preserve its natural and cultural heritage.
4. Polynesian protections for tuna?
Bigeye tuna such as these thrive in French Polynesian waters alongside 20 species of sharks and corals, as well as numerous fish species found nowhere else. Leaders here are pushing for protections for local fisheries, which are declining because of overfishing and other threats.
3. Boreal aerial
On March 21, the International Day of Forests, we highlighted the largest remaining intact forest in the world: Canada's boreal, which covers more than 1 billion contiguous acres. Indigenous communities that have lived here for millennia are now working to protect this iconic ecosystem.
(Multimedia series: Meet the people of the boreal.)
2. Seagrass split-screens
Seagrass beds, such as those where this eastern fiddler ray and hawksbill turtle roam, provide critical habitat for 20% of the world's largest fisheries and hundreds of marine species. These ecosystems also produce oxygen, store carbon, and more.
(See 7 reasons to protect seagrass.)
1. Star-studded celebration
In June, Panama announced it would triple the size of the Coiba Ridge marine protected area, off the country's Pacific coast, to more than 26,000 square miles. These photos of sea stars, a whale shark, Panama's rugged coastline, and migrating humpback whales show just some of the marine life and ecosystems that stand to benefit.

With over 100 rivers and an abundance of swamps, lagoons and inter-connecting old canals (originally built by the Dutch), Sri Lanka offers endless prospects of Kayaking / canoeing, which are in deed, a unique and relaxing way to travel and see the beauty of the Sri Lankan country side.
Sri Lanka 's well-known KALU GANGA (aka Black River) streams from the very heart of the island down to the west coast town of Kalutara where it finally falls into the Indian Ocean . Through a leisurely canoe trip down this stunning river, canoeists can enjoy the sights of an ever-changing landscapes and a enthralling diversity of flora and fauna. For an substitute to river canoeing, opt for one of the country's many vast man-made tanks and reservoirs!
The tranquil waters of the Samanalawewa reservoir in Sri Lanka's Sabaragamuwa province (an easy drive from BELIHULOYA ) provide a perfect setting for this relaxing activity, and with the area's fruitful birdlife and spectacular sceneries of the neighboring mountains, there's no limit to the sights as you paddle.


A new ski resort opened in Kanggye, the capital of Chagang Province, on January 7, 2108, as reported by the Rodong Sinmun on January 8th. It is said the ski resort will serve as a "base for providing public sports services" for North Korean people.
"The ski resort, built on Mt. Jabuk on the outskirts of Kanggye, is fully provided with facilities for the workers and youth to enjoy sporting activities and rest, including sledge runs, beginner and intermediate slopes, ropeway, surface lift, and medical treatment room," the North Korean state newspaper said.
"Constructing the resort in line with the country's reputation as a civilized socialist power, North Korea has created another base for public sports services that will contribute to endow the workers and young students with solid physical strength," it added.
At the opening ceremony held on January 7th, Kim Jae-ryong, Chairman of the Chagang Provincial Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), called the Kanggye Ski Resort a "monumental creation in the days of the WPK." In the interest of Chairman Kim Jung Un, he said, the government officials and workers in the province have completed the construction in a short period of time through their own technologies and resources. He also stated that under the "strenuous efforts first" principle, the workers in the province's machinery industry have built and installed many facilities and equipment such as a surface lift and ropeway.
According to a Rodong Sinmun report in July, the Kanggye Ski Resort, which is built in the Sokjo district of the city, is equipped with ski slopes, sledge runs, restaurants, lodging facilities, cultural and welfare facilities and parking lots. The entrance of the ski slopes are said to be marked with gate posts featuring distinctive designs. There is also a pavilion from which one can view the surrounding landscape.
It is reported that water from a reservoir can be accessed to produce artificial snow in the event of a shortfall of snow. The resort also operates snow groomers. Skiers can take the surface lift get to the beginner slopes or sledge runs. There is ropeway access to the pavilion at the top of the ski slopes, where skiers can get a bird's eye view of the city of Kanggye.
The Kanggye Ski Resort is North Korea's second ski resort—the first being the winter resort at Masikryong Pass, which opened in early January 2016. Various North Korean media agencies are actively promoting the new resort, perhaps reflecting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's interest in winter sports.
North Korea on Monday denounced a set of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) sanctions against Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests as they are hampering the country's development in the sports field.
Kang Ryong-gil, deputy secretary general of North Korea's Olympic Committee, told foreign reporters in Pyongyang that the sanctions "hinder the aspiration of North Koreans to develop sports," according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
He claimed that the UNSC sanctions resolution adopted in March last year even included recreational sports equipment on a list of banned luxury goods.
Kang's remark came as the UNSC imposed tough sanctions against North Korea in March and November 2016 for its two nuclear tests and a long-range rocket launch. The resolutions focused on curbing the inflow of hard currency to the regime. It also came as North Korea plans to take part in the Asian Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan, which will be held from Feb. 19 to 26.
The sanctions led some countries to impose exports bans on North Korea over such sports equipment as skis, yachts and mountaineering boots, he said. The blockade of money transfers also prevents fund assistance which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) provides for sports development in member countries.
"The thing is that sports firearms can never be turned into rockets nor rockets be fired from them," Kang said.

Sometimes private citizens can ease tensions between governments when public officials cannot.
Since we met NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman in May, we have been helping to coordinate his visits to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and organize an international basketball tournament sponsored by Irish bookmaker Paddy Power. Seeing as our government has branded the DPRK a "critical" national security threat, we find it reflects badly on Foggy Bottom that the three Americans best acquainted with its supreme leader are a retired NBA star, a mixed martial arts fighter and a tuba-playing human geneticist.
Mr. Rodman constantly reminds those around him to "just do one thing: Do your job." Now it seems he is picking up some of the slack for the U.S. State Department.
In 1967, presidential candidate Richard Nixon expressed his hope for détente with Peking, writing, "There is no place on this small planet for a billion of its potentially most able people to live in angry isolation." On Christmas 1970, People's Daily ran a front-page story with a photograph of Chairman Mao Tsetung and American journalist Edgar Snow standing side by side atop the Tien An Men rostrum; at the top of the page, the day's Mao quote: "All the peoples of the world, including the American people, are our friends." While Washington dismissed this gesture given Snow's sympathy for Mao, in retrospect it seems it was intended as a subtle olive branch.
With spring came a chance meeting between American and Chinese ping-pong players concluding with an exchange of gifts. This simple act of humanity touched off a string of cultural and, later, diplomatic interactions.
Henry Kissinger's secret visit to Peking that summer paved the way for "the Week that Changed the World." Although Nixon and Mao certainly did not see eye to eye, their shared view that diplomacy is preferable to both isolation and war made normal relations between Washington and Peking possible.
The value of cultural exchanges consists in their power to erode misconceptions. For instance, Dr. Terwilliger spent a month this summer in Pyongyang teaching human evolutionary genetics to a class of very talented Korean undergraduates.
Aside from teaching scientific critical thinking, he took care to present his students with the best side of the American people, to demonstrate that we are a generous and friendly people rather than the "brigandish aggressors" of the familiar caricature. He was both surprised and encouraged by their interest in Mr. Rodman's February visit.
They noted that hearing Mr. Rodman say nice things about their country made them rethink their stereotypes about Americans, for they had now seen one embracing their leader. Many had even read Mr. Rodman's autobiography and remarked that they admired his frankness in describing the difficulties he faced in his early life.
Such reactions can only bode well. Hostility is inevitable when the common man on each side sees highlighted only the worst aspects of the other. Mutual understanding is where rapprochement starts.
While the first few timid steps may proceed slowly as trust is built, the example of Ping-Pong Diplomacy demonstrates that if the momentum is sustained it can offer governments new options with which to pursue peace and may even be developed into a full gallop (what the Koreans call "Chollima speed") toward rapprochement. At the very least, track-two diplomacy can present unique opportunities for engagement between private citizens whose governments remain at odds.
Mr. Rodman would be the first to recognize that he is neither a politician nor a diplomat — and yet, that is precisely what makes him such a promising agent of reconciliation. As a cultural icon, Mr. Rodman has the power to project a relatable human face in a way a government functionary simply cannot: by doing down-to-earth things all people can enjoy.
An associate professor at Columbia University in New York City, Joseph D. Terwilliger was a member of Dennis Rodman's September and December delegations to Pyongyang. John Doldo IV, a Watertown native who has also spent time in North Korea, has been working behind the scenes helping to coordinate many aspects of the project. Both authors worked on a strictly voluntary basis in order to avoid any financial conflict of interest.
Irish betting company Paddy Power has ended its partnership with Dennis Rodman and his "basketball diplomacy" initiative.
"We have been reviewing the partnership on an ongoing basis, and with the benefit of hindsight, we probably got this one wrong," company spokesman Paddy Power (and son of Paddy Power's founder, Paddy Power) tells NK News.
"Circumstances have changed quite a lot in North Korea; there has been worldwide scrutiny of the North Korean regime, probably more in the past month than in the past couple of years.
Though they won't be involved, Rodman's plan to bring 11 other former NBA players to Pyongyang is still a go, according to Power.
"Dennis is very appreciative of Paddy Power's support up to this point for this historic game of basketball diplomacy taking place on Jan. 8th," Rodman's agent Darren Prince told the Associated Press.
Here is an article on the history of Rodman and Paddy Power.
ORIGINAL POST (2013-12-21): Dennis Rodman has made his third trip to the DPRK. Trip one post here. Trip two post here.
3. Dennis Rodman "leads" training for DPRK team. Game scheduled against an American team in January. Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3, Pic 4, Pic 5. 2012-12-20. Here is AP video of the training. Rodman is smoking a cigar.
Rodman and the group left the DPRK without meeting Kim Jong-un, however, I suspect that he will get together in the upcoming fourth trip slated to take place in January.
"It has nothing to do with me. I mean, whatever his uncle has done, and whoever's done anything in North Korea, I have no control over that," Rodman said in Beijing. "I mean, these things have been going on for years and years and years.
"I'm just going over there to do a basketball game and have some fun," he said.
Ahead of the trip, Seoul-based North Korean human rights activist Shin Dong-hyuk said in an open letter in the Washington Post that Rodman should talk to Kim about human rights abuses in North Korea.
Rodman said it was not his place to talk about such issues.
"People have been saying these things here and there. It doesn't really matter to me. I'm not a politician. I'm not an ambassador," he said.
"I'm just going over there to try and do something really cool for a lot of people, play some games and try to get the Korean kids to play," he said.
"Everything else I have nothing to do with. If it happens that he wants to talk about it then great. If it doesn't happen I just can't bring it up because I don't (want) him to think that I'm over here trying to be an ambassador and trying to use him as being his friend and all of a sudden I'm talking about politics. That's not going to be that way," Rodman said.
Rodman is expected to provide North Korea's national basketball team with four days of training during the trip.
Here is a video interview with Rodman at the Koryo Hotel. Here is much of what he said in the video printed in an article.
He also intends to return to Pyongyang in January with a team of fellow former National Basketball Association stars to hold basketball games on Kim's birthday.
International soccer's governing body FIFA has provided funds worth $500,000 to build infrastructure to update a soccer academy in Pyongyang, a media outlet reported Thursday.
The International School of Football opened earlier this year and has been training North Korean youths between the ages of 6 and 13, according to a report by Radio Free Asia.
The Washington-based broadcaster said support was given as part of its "goal project" to help build football-related infrastructure in less affluent countries.
FIFA started providing support to the North from 2001 onwards, with around $2 million having been spent so far on six development projects.
Related to the school, North Korean media said its leader Kim Jong-un in June personally designated a name for the new facility that opened on May 31.
FIFA gives funds to improve soccer academy in N.K.
The first chairman of the National Defence Commission of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, took office two years ago. Since then, construction of sports and entertainment facilities are reported to have increased considerably. According to the South Korean Ministry of Unification, North Korea's Pyongyang Folk Park (September 2012), Taesongsan General Hospital (March 2013), and Haedanghwa Service Complex (April 2013) were recently completed. Since the launch of the Kim Jong Un regime, the Masik Pass Ski Resort and other similar sports facilities have been undertaken and are nearing completion.
In addition, the People's Theatre (April 2012), Rungna People's Pleasure Ground (opened in July 2012), Sunrise Restaurant (September 2012), and Unification Street Center (September 2012) have been recently renovated. In addition, the Mirim Riding Club, Pyongyang Gymnasium, Munsu Wading Pool, Aprok (Yalu) River Amusement park, Karma Hotel, and New Day Hotel and other hotels around Pyongyang are currently under renovation and repair. Entertainment and sports facilities around other major cities are being constructed as well. Furthermore, after the successful launch of Kwangmyongsong 3-2 last December, North Korea has begun to construct major residential complexes for scientists, granting them preferential housing in Unha scientist residence, Kim Il Sung University educator residence, and Pyongsong residence. Other large-scale housing projects are also reported to be under development.
In the wake of major celebrations in North Korea — such as the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung and 60-year anniversary of the "Victory in the Fatherland Liberation War" — a large memorial was erected and existing facilities were repaired. Specifically, the Korean People's Army Exhibition of Arms and Equipment, Kumsusan Memorial Palace, War Victory Monument, and the Cemetery of the Fallen Fighters of the KPA were refurbished.
Unlike the large-scale construction of sports and entertainment facilities, new constructions of harbors, roads, power plants and other social overhead capital (SOC) is reported to be in decline.
Last August, North Korea's trade with China has shown an 8 percent increase in exports and 6 percent decrease in imports, following a similar trend from last year. According to the South Korean Ministry of Unification, North Korea's current trade volume with China is reported to be 4 billion USD (1.89 billion USD in exports and 2.2 billion USD in imports).
North Korea's most popular export items are mineral resources such anthracite, coal, and iron ore. In the case of clothing products — which are mostly consigned processing — there has been an increase of 42 percent (200 million USD) against the previous year. Major categories of imports from China are crude oil, food, and fertilizers. Compared to the previous year, food imports have declined 57 percent (17.4 million tons), and fertilizer and crude oil imports are also showing gradual reduction at 27 percent (18.3 million tons) and 6 percent (34.6 million tons), respectively.
North Korea has approved for the first time the hoisting of South Korea's national flag and playing of its anthem on the communist country's soil, the unification ministry said Friday.
The move comes as the North invited South Korean weightlifters to attend the 2013 Asian Cup and Interclub Weightlifting Championship to be held in the communist country, the Ministry of Unification said.
If realized, it will be the first time in history that South Korea's national flag, the Taegeukgi will be raised and the national anthem performed in North Korea.
The ministry in charge of all inter-Korean relations said it approved the cross-border trip by the 41-member team made up of South Korean weightlifters and officials who plans to visit Pyongyang next week for a nine-day stay to attend the international sporting competition. The event is set from Sept. 11-17 in the North Korean capital.
Officials here said approval was given because the event is an international gathering organized by the Asia Weightlifting Federation, and Pyongyang vowed to guarantee the safety of the athletes from the South.
Such reconciliatory gestures from both sides are in line with a recent series of signs of thawing relations following a deal to restart the shuttered joint industrial park in the North's border city of Kaesong and to arrange reunions for families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War.
In 2008 I attended a DPRK-ROK World Cup prelim match in Shanghai. The game was supposed to be held in Pyongyang, but the North Koreans refused to allow the South Korean anthem and flag to be used (as the South Koreans had done).


What's the verdict on For the King?
I like it a fair bit. It does suffer from the classic roguelike possibility of RNGesus screwing your play, but otherwise it's quite charming and fun. I love the aesthetic style, too. And you do have access to some fate points that allow you to automatically pass or increase your chances in individual rolls, though the points are in short supply and hard to replenish. On the other hand, you also have access to a finite but replenishable number of resurrects of members in your three-character group, so the entropy isn't all-powerful.
I'd certainly recommend picking it up if it sounds like something up your alley and it's on sale. At full price, a bit riskier. The main question is, how averse are you to old school roguelike issues?
Thanks! I gave it the Steam trial and enjoyed it well enough, but ended up returning it. I think I'd keep it for $5, but for right now I have to be selective about where I spend my $10, and I'm likely to play with my limited time other games that I already have more than For the King.
I always thought RNGesus was when the RNG worked in your favor at a critical time. When it works against you, I've been calling it RNGudas.

I saw something which said to turn off "Open each selected result in a new browser window" in chrome search settings. However, after I click save it still happens and when I go back to settings I see that it hasn't saved and has ticked the box again.

Jennifer Garner, 42, is opening up about her marriage to Ben Affleck, 42, in the October issue of InStyle magazine -- specifically, how their relationship has changed through the years, and what roles the two play when it comes to parenting.
Jennifer and Ben have been married since 2005 and have three children together -- Violet, 8, Seraphina, 5, and son Samuel, 2.
"When we had our first [child], we had only been together a year. We were babies. It happened so fast, I hardly remember what we were like before the kids got here," Jennifer admits. "Now we're just starting to go away for a night here and there."
The Alias star is also realistic about the romance in their marriage.
"You can't expect to be courted all the time, and I don't want to court him right now -- I don't have the energy!" she says. "But we're definitely in a very mindful place where we're making an effort to be together, do things at the same time, and be loving."
But when it comes to parenting, she admits that Ben is the "fun" one, while she's clearly the responsible parent.
"For better or worse, I tend to be the one who says, 'This is what needs to happen.' I know who wants what lunch, and I've done all the school paperwork and filled out the emergency cards. Ben doesn't know that stuff exists," she shares. "He is in charge of laughter. No matter how much I tickle them or toss them or chase them around, it's not the same. If I'm the slow, steady drumbeat, he's the jazz."
Jennifer also shares how life for her and her children has changed since the anti-paparazzi bill spearheaded by Halle Berry became a law last year.
"It's a different life. My kids can't get over it," she happily explains. "Not a day goes by that one of them doesn't say, 'Can you believe we're at the park with our mom?' It means I don't spend every day thinking about moving."
Watch the video below to hear Jennifer talk to ET about supporting the "No Kids" paparazzi policy started by Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard!


Today, Western Digital announced the launch of its latest edition to the company's long-standing My Passport line of external storage devices. The all new My Passport AV-TV is a high-performance compact media drive that is designed to store and playback hundreds of hours of TV entertainment. What makes the drive most unique though is its ability to record from your TV via USB.
Available in capacities of 500GB and 1TB, the new My Passport AV-TV is capable of recording up to two channels at once on TVs that are "Dual-Tuner" equipped with the recordings being saved in full HD format. Western Digital says that the My Passport AV-TV is engineers for high-speed AV applications and features error recovery and continuous streaming command support for accurate recording and playback of video content.
"TV lovers want to enjoy their shows at a time convenient to them," said Jim Welsh, WD executive vice president, Branded Products and Worldwide Sales. "Timeshifting, plus the popularity of global events and international sporting events, is increasing consumer demand for recordable TVs and optimized drives. Our customers want a fast and reliable solution. The high-performance My Passport AV-TV - specifically-designed for this application - is the result of their requests."


The selection of Saint Michael as our parish's patron in 1857 certainly was inspired.
Who could be a better champion in "Hell's Kitchen" than that heavenly soldier wielding the sword, as the great statue in our church shows him? As angels are pure spirit and sublime intelligence, it is tempting for mortals of flesh and limited intelligence to pretend that they are fictions, but many times in meeting strangers we may "entertain angels unawares" (Hebrews 13:2).
Michael, whose name means "no one is like God," leads a combat that is even more violent for being spiritual and not merely political. Spiritual combat is virulent now, when virtually every social institution is confused and angry, and harshly so in the Church, which is more than a human invention and is in fact the "Body of Christ" — that is, his living presence on earth. Our Lord predicted "… that the Son of Man was destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes" (Mark 8:31).
In 1776 Thomas Paine wrote contemptuously of "the summer soldier and sunshine patriot" who flees when the going gets rough. Such are those who claim to have been baptized as Soldiers of Christ but who flee from spiritual combat when they are scandalized by news of sin. There is a parallel here with what a recent book, The Coddling of the American Mind, describes as a young generation living in a cultural bubble protected from psychological discomfort. They are so cushioned from the hard facts of life that they flee into "safe spaces" when traumatized by reality.
Saint Augustine said, "In addition to the fact that I am a Christian and must give God an account of my life, I as a leader must give him an account of my stewardship as well." Church leaders who have been chortling glad-handers cannot give a good account because they have been summer soldiers and sunshine patriots. When the clouds gather, and battle lines are drawn, they are unable to confront what Belloc called Satan's "comic inversion of our old certitudes."
It has actually been suggested that Satan is exposing the sins of men in order to discourage the faithful. But the Prince of Lies exposes nothing. He has long been the cover-up artist. The Holy Spirit does the revealing: "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad" (Luke 8:17).
"Saint Michael the Archangel, protect me against the ruses and temptations of Satan. I consecrate to you all the faculties of my soul, my soul itself and all its potentials. Guard well the weaknesses of my poor nature, that the many battles that I may undergo will become as many victories and the eternal glory of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."
Father George W. Rutler. "Summer Soldiers and Sunshine Patriots." From the Pastor (September 23, 2018).

A: I would try passing parameter fileEncoding to read.table with a value of iso8859-8.
Use iconvlist() to get an alphabetical list of the supported encodings. As I saw here Hebrew must be part 8 of ISO 8859.

A: I've tried @George Donats answer, but couldn't make it work. So I wanted to suggest another possibility for future reference.
I couldn't find the file online, so I've recreated a txt file like your using TAB as a seperator. You can load it into R with the Hebrew text using a connection. It is demonstrated below:
con<-file("aa.txt",open="r",encoding="iso8859-8") ##Open a read-only connection with encoding fit for Hebrew (iso8859-8)

Than you can load it into R with your code, using con variable as the file input, code described here:
data<-read.table(con,sep="\t",header=TRUE)

Browsing into the data variable gives the following results:
str(data)

'data.frame':   3 obs. of  3 variables:
 $ אחת  : int  6 44 3
 $ שתיים: int  97 354 1
 $ שלוש : int  12 123 6

Q: Add a condition within the function with apply I want to write a conditional function to apply to my dataframe.
The existing function is:
Proposed <- function(N_b,N_l,m,A,x.sqr,e_1,e_2,e_3,e_4,e_5,K_g,a,b,c,d) {
  e <- data.frame(e_1,e_2,e_3,e_4,e_5,N_l)
  ee <- e[e != 0]
  CSi <- m * ((N_l/N_b) * ((a*K_g)^b) +
            ((A * apply(ee,1,function(v) max(combn(v[1:ncol(ee)],v["N_l"],sum))))
              / x.sqr) * ((c*K_g)^d))
  return(CSi)
}

There are two folds to the conditions:
I want to add the condition that if A > 0 then select max(combn(v[1:5],v["N_l"],sum)). But if A < 0 select min(combn(v[1:5],v["N_l"],sum))
Data
A sample dataframe is provided (just a couple of rows)
dput(DATA)
structure(list(N_l = c(2, 4, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3), N_b = c(5, 5,
5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5), m = c(1, 0.65, 1, 0.65, 1.2, 1, 1.2, 0.85),
A = c(-12, -12, -15, -15, -9, -9, -9, -9), x.sqr = c(1440,
1440, 2250, 2250, 810, 810, 810, 810), e_1 = c(21.8, 21.8,
29, 29, 14.6, 14.6, 14.6, 14.6), e_2 = c(9.8, 9.8, 17, 17,
2.6, 2.6, 2.6, 2.6), e_3 = c(-2.2, -2.2, 5, 5, -9.4, -9.4,
-9.4, -9.4), e_4 = c(-14.2, -14.2, -7, -7, 0, 0, 0, 0), e_5 = c(0,
0, -19, -19, 0, 0, 0, 0), K_g = c(6340598.65753794, 6340598.65753794,
6429472.98493414, 6429472.98493414, 6296482.86883766, 6296482.86883766,
8140521.8248051, 8140521.8248051)), row.names = c(20L, 40L,
60L, 80L, 100L, 120L, 140L, 160L), class = "data.frame")

A: max(combn(v, n, sum)) is the same as sum(tail(v,n)), no combn necessary. For example,
v <- 1:5
n <- 3
combn(v, n, sum)
#  [1]  6  7  8  8  9 10  9 10 11 12
sum(tail(sort(v), n))
# [1] 12

Similarly, min(combn(...)) is just sum of the smallest two. With this, your combn calls can be simplified.
A simple function:
func2 <- function(x) { # A=x[1], N_l=x[2], e_*=x[-(1:2)]
  decr <- (x[1] > 0)
  sum(head(sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr), x[2]))
}

For the sake of "interesting data", I'll negate A in every other row:
dat$A
# [1] -12 -12 -15 -15  -9  -9  -9  -9
dat$A[c(2,4,6,8)] <- (-dat$A[c(2,4,6,8)])
dat$A
# [1] -12  12 -15  15  -9   9  -9   9

The use of it:
apply(dat[,c("A", "N_l", grep("^e_", colnames(dat), value = TRUE))],
      1, func2)
#    20    40    60    80   100   120   140   160
# -16.4  29.4 -26.0  44.0  -9.4  17.2  -9.4  17.2

(Assign this to a new variable in your frame if you'd like.)
Decomposition: let's debug it and run through the first row:
debug(func2)
# debugging in: FUN(newX[, i], ...)
# debug at #1: {
#     decr <- (x[1] > 0)
#     sum(head(sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr), x[2]))
# }
# Browse[2]>
x
#     A   N_l   e_1   e_2   e_3   e_4   e_5
# -12.0   2.0  21.8   9.8  -2.2 -14.2   0.0

Our x variable has everything, so we'll need to reference them individually. We could use x["A"] instead of x[1], which would be clearer to read. Over to you.
# Browse[2]>
decr <- (x[1] > 0)
# Browse[2]>
decr
#     A
# FALSE
# Browse[2]>
sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr)
#   e_4   e_3   e_5   e_2   e_1
# -14.2  -2.2   0.0   9.8  21.8

Okay, so in this row, A is less than 0, so we want the N_l (2) lowest values, so when we sort them, the lowest are first.
# Browse[2]>
head(sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr), x[2])
#   e_4   e_3
# -14.2  -2.2
# Browse[2]>
sum(head(sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr), x[2]))
# [1] -16.4

We'll repeat for the second row, where I changed A to be positive (and now N_l is 4):
# debugging in: FUN(newX[, i], ...)
# debug at #1: {
#     decr <- (x[1] > 0)
#     sum(head(sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr), x[2]))
# }
x
#     A   N_l   e_1   e_2   e_3   e_4   e_5
#  12.0   4.0  21.8   9.8  -2.2 -14.2   0.0
decr <- (x[1] > 0)
decr
#    A
# TRUE
sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr)
#   e_1   e_2   e_5   e_3   e_4
#  21.8   9.8   0.0  -2.2 -14.2
head(sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr), x[2])
#  e_1  e_2  e_5  e_3
# 21.8  9.8  0.0 -2.2
sum(head(sort(x[-(1:2)], decreasing = decr), x[2]))
# [1] 29.4

Repeating through them all. (If you're doing this on the console, either reload/redefine the function, or call undebug(func2).


The combination of two high power half-watt LEDs,adiffused lens and a focused lens is areal attention grabber.
Unsurprisingly, the high output LED Maxbright Eos doesn't rival the big bucks lights for serious trail use, but it's enough if you're a group ride follower and is ideal for using along canal towpaths and the like.
Three AAA batteries – included – power a low beam for more than 100 hours. The medium beam is fine for less demanding riding and lasts about 10 hours before it starts to dim, and the 50 lumens full beam dims slightly after an hour or so, although the slow dim means there's always enough power left to get you home.
The beam angle is easy to adjust, a head strap, helmet mount and bar mount kit are included, and it's proved to be really tough and water resistant. As a head torch it's superb.
We really like the Swerve rear light too. The combination of two high-power half-watt LEDs, a diffused lens and a focused lens is a real attention grabber.
The flashing light setting shifts constantly so drivers notice you from way behind, or you can choose constant light. Flash burn time is up to 70 hours with two AAA batteries and the toggle switch is intuitively easy to use. Clip it on bags or clothing, or you have a choice of bolt-on or fast on/off bungi grip seatpost mounts.

The Waterway is the most significant new real estate development on the horizon in New Cairo. The compound is a special place with special amenities and outstanding location advantages. The quality, prestige and convenience of the Project set it apart from any other competitive mixed-use development in the region. The synergism of uses between tenants of a specific business or profession and residents will greatly benefit all of the occupants due to proximity to one another.


The Higher School of Digital Economy (ESEN) Android club organized on Wednesday, October 31, 2018, the first edition of "ابطال الديجتال" hosted by the Manouba Technopole in association with the Tunis private Université centrale with attendance of a large number of students from the Manouba campus and other universities in Tunis.
The event was enhanced by the presence of imminent lecturers namely Mr Wissem Oueslati, Information Technology (It) and E-commerce expert, Mrs Abir Jlassi Sdiri international expert in digital marketing and trainer and Mr Mohamed Hammami expert in digital marketing strategy.
Opening the event, ESEN Director Jihène El Ouakdi, said that the ESEN android club celebrates the fourth anniversary of its creation, hailing the perseverance of the club members to create and organize distinguished events in the ESEN School for the students of the university campus.
The ESEN Director also highlighted the creative spirit of the students voicing pride and encouragements to them on her name and on behalf of the ESEN school. She paid tribute to the Professors who spare no effort to provide assistance to the students for any events they organize.
Taking the floor, Wissem Oueslati, IT and E-commerce expert and specialist with several years of experience in this area said that the world of online business has grown and has been adapted to new technologies. He explained how he is endeavouring in his mission to help keep businesses informed and up to date by giving lectures and attending different events related to the field of E-commerce.
Wissem Oueslati placed emphasis on the fact that the digital marketer should always be open to learning news strategies about E-commerce because this area is constantly evolving through innovation on a daily basis and qualifying oneself as being an expert is an end to learning.
In this event, the E-commerce expert indicated that E-commerce in the digital world is a culture and not techniques through the IT development and programming. It is rather a whole philosophy advising the attendees to always lend a listening ear and follow the new trends.
Wissem Oueslati explained how digital transformation and progress is changing the future of E-commerce. Today E-commerce had changed drastically to become a completely safe online transaction, he underlined.
He noted that online shopping is gaining popularity, by creating opportunities for the brand new start-ups.
In turn, Abir Jlassi Sdiri, International Expert in digital marketing and consultant, spoke in her briefing about personal branding. She mentioned the way to increase social proof as a student using different social media channels like Linkedin.
She said that personal branding is the process of creating a recognizable professional name and reputation for the future entrepreneurs, explaining the combination of presenting oneself through the various means of communication and the value the entrepreneur provides to his social network.
Besides, she noted that the process of personal branding includes the creation and the development of branding statements, as well as other features of self-presentation, like business cards, professional social network, advertisements, and online marketing which is an increasingly powerful way for anyone to go global.
Mohamed Hammami consultant in marketing strategy made an analysis of marketing defining it as the creation of a need saying that there are different definitions of marketing but the useful definition of marketing is the creation of a need.
He indicated that digital marketing is the use of the internet, mobile devices, social media, search engines, display advertising and other channels to reach consumers. It is a way of promoting products and services, he noted.
Some marketing experts consider digital marketing as an entirely new process that requires a new way of approaching customers and new ways of understanding how customers behave compared to traditional marketing.

A: You are having many silly mistakes in your code

*

*Remove extra white space before the parameter of all function call

eg : Back propagation Algorithm
Corrected code :
Back propagation Algorithm

*All your div ids have Lower-case w.

And two of your w in var IDvaluesOfEachDiv = "w11 W12 W21 w31" are Upper-case, W12 and W21
Note : ids are case-sensitive

*Remove double href= on Week 2 and Week 3 sub li

*You should not provide # before the id in divs
EDIT : Provided a working snippet below

function HideAllShowOne(d) {
  // Between the quotation marks, list the id values of each div.

  var IDvaluesOfEachDiv = "w11 w12 w21 w31";

  //-------------------------------------------------------------
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/[,\s"']/g, " ");

We had dinner at A'la Turka restaurant in Irene village on 11 November 2011 and what a huge disappointment. The ambiance is lovely, but that is where it ended. Our waitress was incompetent, knew nothing about the wines on the wine list or how to operate a credit card machine. She could not give a sensible answer to any question. We ordered to set meals (@ R225 each), received all on 1 platter and not all the food listed on the menu was on there. On top of that they have the arrogance to include an automatic 10% service fee on the bill. We felt robbed and will never visit this establishment again.
We have been to A'la Turka Restaurant on more than one occasion, and I must say my husband and I love this place, the food is always great and fresh. The atmosphere is hypnotic and it transports us back to Istanbul every time, lying on the beautifully designed persian day beds ls always our choice of seating when we go to ala Turka Restaurant, been enchanted by the oriental music and dancers is just another treat..we love this place..it's a must for those who haven't experienced it.

Also known as an atom smasher, it's a machine that accelerates particles to a very high speed then crashes them together and analyses the products of these collisions.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, is currently the largest and most powerful particle collider in the world. Built and operated by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern), it is where some of the most exciting developments in physics are happening. And Hong Kong has representatives doing research there, too. If you wish you could see this huge device for yourself but feel Switzerland is a bit far, don't worry, the science museum in Hong Kong has an exhibition on the LHC until May 25.
Here is why the 2016 physics DSE exam had fewer questions than previous years
The LHC has helped answer a lot of questions about the universe, including one about the Higgs mechanism. The Higgs mechanism is a theory that explains why particles have mass, and suggests the existence of what scientists call the Higgs Boson, a tiny particle which proves the Higgs mechanism. The search for the Higgs Boson was an attempt to prove this theory. It's like if you want to prove the existence of dinosaurs, you might have a theory that suggests they did exist, but you need to find a fossil to prove it.
The Higgs Boson is the equivalent of the fossil, and proves that tiny particles have mass. And all of
these findings were possible thanks to the LHC.
But this science seems far away and not very applicable. Professor Luis Flores of Chinese University admits the science isn't useful yet, but he is optimistic.
"Back when electrons were discovered, there was no useful purpose for them, either. But imagine what life would be like without electronics," he says.
So that's why research is important, but as with any major leaps in knowledge, people worry that science will go too far. There has been talk of how the experiments at the LHC could create black holes and destroy the planet. But Flores says this won't happen.

"There is no risk. We know the smaller the black holes are, the faster they disappear. While the LHC has the highest energy density seen so far, it's still very small. So even if we did make them, they would disappear very quickly."
As well as professors, Hong Kong also sent Chinese University physics students to Geneva last summer.
Law Tak-shun, a second year PHd student, admired the work culture in Switzerland. "They have an almost perfect work-life balance. They work hard and pull all nighters like we do, but while we usually finish our work then go to sleep, they might relax and go to a bar and continue discussing physics. It was nice to be able to work on physics in both a relaxed and formal environment."
But it's not all fun and games, as advanced physics is tough. Mak
Sze-ning, a final year student, notes: "Secondary physics is very different from university. There's a lot more maths and it's less intuitive."
In the long term, Hong Kong has the ability to work with massive, international projects such as Cern.
But Professor Chu Ming-chung of Chinese University feels that attitudes towards science research in Hong Kong need to change first. "There is a mentality of 'Oh, internationalisation. That's cool.' But people aren't supporting the research. But change will come when students start to contribute and put in their own effort."
