Dhani Jones: NFL Linebacker, TV Star and Entrepreneur
This is why, how, or what I need to do to be successful, and personally why I relate a lot of business back to the nuances of professional football.
This week's Suiting Up Podcast guest is a former NFL linebacker who played 11 seasons professionally, making 2 Super Bowl appearances, college football for the Michigan Wolverines, winning a National Championship, and earned All-Big 10 honors for 3 straight seasons. He's a stud.
In addition to his football career, Dhani's had a massively successful television career, which he's supplemented with a career operating companies (he's owned and operated a coffee shop, ad agency, and staffing business), and more recently, investing in them. One of my all-time favorite Dhani shows was his Travel Channel series, "Dhani Tackles the Glove", as well as his VH1 show, "Ton of Cash". Today, Dhani's mirroring the success of "Shark Tank" with his own investor hosting national series hit, "Adventure Capitalists", which is regularly programmed on CNBC.

What makes young people happy?
What is the secret of happiness? What makes young people happy?
According to the traditional measures of life satisfaction and happiness, self-esteem (a positive or negative evaluation of one's self, how they feel about themselves) appears to be one of the strongest correlating factors with happiness 1. Data from 3,407 students from the University of Northern Columbia showed that the correlation of self-esteem with overall life satisfaction/happiness was higher (from 0.64 to 0.75) than the correlation with other important factors such as family relationship etc.
In the 2010 HBSC study 2 it was found that over 83% of young people in England (from 11 to 15 year olds) felt positive about their lives, although this is a slight decrease since 2006 (85%).
Measures of life satisfaction give us an idea of young people's happiness as constructed by adults 3 but do not give us knowledge about how young people define happiness themselves.
What are young people's own experiences of happiness; what do they mean by happiness and being happy?
Research that has asked young people in detail about their definitions of what makes them feel happy 3 found that young people rate autonomy, feeling safe and secure, sense of self and self-image, material resources, home and environment as the most important aspects of their lives that shape happiness.
Children's idea of happiness also change as they get older. Chaplin 3 recruited young people divided into three age groups; 8-9 year olds, 12-13 year olds, and 16-18 year olds, and then asked them to construct their own answer to the open-ended question: "What makes you happy?" Five categories were identified: 1. 'People and pets', 2. 'Achievements', 3. 'material things', 4. 'hobbies', and 5. 'sports'.
The different age groups differed in the emphasis they placed on the individual categories. In particular, the youngest age group listed more hobbies as contributing to their happiness than the other age groups, the middle group listed more material things than did the other age groups, and the oldest group put most emphasis on achievements. While 'people and pets' was one of the most important factors across all age groups, the oldest cohort listed fewer instances in this category than the middle group, perhaps indicating the increasing independence and parting from important adults, such as parents and teachers, at this age.
Among material resources as an attribute of happiness, young people usually list having pocket money, 'brand' name clothes and trainers, technology items (e.g. iPods and satellite TV) and family holidays 3.
As we can see, neither the traditional life satisfaction scales nor the qualitative studies investigating young people's happiness list the materialistic resources at the top of young peoples own ranking - or as the only ones which make young people happy. Instead it seems likely then that the happiness of young people depends more on significant people around them, the young people themselves and maybe their achievements and how fully they live their life?

"Who drinks just half a bottle?": Soft drinks consumption among English young people
This year so far has seen increased media focus on the issue of soft drinks consumption in the UK, particularly among young people. First Sustain produced a report1 calling for a 20p per litre sugary drinks duty, which they claim would raise £1 billion a year to contribute towards health promoting initiatives for children. The background for the report was the increasing health problems that high intake of sugary drinks are seen as contributing towards, and a concern about increasing NHS costs and the future health of children. Then the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges issued a report2 into the UK obesity crisis which also recommended a 20% increase in tax on sugar sweetened soft-drinks. The reports and their recommendations generated much interest in the British press, and the Guardian3 reported on the response of the British Soft Drinks Association whose director general, Gavin Partington, claimed that "Over the last 10 years, the consumption of soft drinks containing added sugar has fallen by 9% while the incidence of obesity has increased by 15%" (The Guardian, 29 January 2013). However, the British Soft Drinks Association's annual report into soft drinks consumption in Britain paints a slightly different picture. Reports from 2007 – 20124,5 show that while the consumption of soft drinks that are classed as 'regular' (i.e., sugar-added) have reduced as a proportion of the total, overall consumption has increased. Consumption of carbonated drinks and still & juice drinks (not pure fruit juice) went up in the UK from 2006-2011, while consumption of dilutables (e.g. squashes) decreased somewhat. The real change in that time though is in the consumption of energy drinks, which went up from 6.7 l/person in 2006 to 10.6 l/person in 2011 – an increase of 58%.4,5
These figures relate to the population overall and include the whole of the UK. For young people in England, the HBSC data show a dramatic increase in consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks from 2006 to 2010; in some age groups the proportion who report drinking such drinks every day has more than doubled over that time period. 6,7 In 2006, around 20% of girls and between 20-28% of boys in England said they drank sugary soft drinks every day – in 2010 this had increased to between 32-39% of girls and around 40% of boys. Further, whereas England ranked 29th (26th for 11 year olds) for drinking such drinks every day in 2006, in 2010 they were placed first (2nd among 15 year olds) among 39 countries. Meanwhile, both Scotland and Wales reported modest decreases in daily soft drinks consumption for young people between 2006 and 2010.
During a recent event with the young people's advisory group for HBSC England, we asked a group of young people aged between 13 and 18 why they thought soft drinks consumption was so high among English adolescents. They cited the very prominent Red Bull adverts of a few years ago as one explanation for the dramatic increase in energy drinks in particular, and some claimed that an energy drink might even serve as a meal replacement because it fills you up and, quite clearly, "contains energy".
A recent study in the US8 used focus groups to investigate the factors that are important for young people when choosing beverages. Not surprisingly, taste was rated as most important (by 93%) while only 30% said they considered calorie content. Those students who reported drinking diet drinks primarily said they did so for taste rather than health concerns which were of little interest, and which they didn't consider relevant to themselves because of their age. The second most important consideration when choosing beverages in that study was reported to be price, indicating that the price hikes suggested by Sustain and the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges may have an impact on soft drink intake in young people. The study also found limited awareness among the young people in their focus groups with regards to daily energy requirement, meaning that nutritional labels had little meaning to them. When we discussed soft drinks consumption with our research advisory group, some students felt that labelling for soft drinks in the UK were misleading by, for example, only providing calorie content for half a regular bottle of soft drink – as one student put it, "who drinks half a bottle?".
The HBSC data shows that far from falling, sugary drinks consumption has drastically increased among young people in England over the last few years. What we need to understand now is why this increase is contained to just one country in Great Britain, and why England has not seen the decreases in consumption experienced by Wales and Scotland. If current trends are to be reversed, these issues need to be explored.

There is enough information on the internet on what and how to eat if you want to burn belly fat, but one that makes sense is the slower and smaller principle. By eating smaller meal portions, and consuming them slowly, you will allow your body time to process what it's taking in before releasing those enzymes that tell the body it's "full". Also, smaller portions allow you to eat more meals per day, which keeps your metabolism and digestive system active and engaged for longer, which is great for burning belly fat!


I am morphing into a domestic goddess. Those who have known me long enough and well enough are allowed to snigger at this point. They are even allowed to fall off their chairs in a fit of side splitting belly laughs. The truth is that I am, to rephrase Charlotte Lucas from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, discovering the joys of managing my own household.
And am delighting in the therapeutic joys of baking. These are not therapeutic, unfortunately and regrettably, to an expanding waistline. The catharsis offered by baking is for the soul alone. There is nothing more relaxing than crumbing some butter and flour with your fingers, while listening to Strauss on Classic FM.
So broadening middle notwithstanding, we embark on another muffin-making expedition. Banana and walnuts this time, with sultanas thrown in for good measure.
To ensure a truly calming experience, make sure your toddler is well fed and watered and suitably engaged before you turn up the music and get your fingers into the flour. Once the scene is set, add the spices and marg to the flour and start crumbing. Keep going till the mixture gets a bread crumby feel. All stresses should have melted away by now.
Add all the remaining ingredients to the mix and fold gently. It will look rather gloopy at this stage. This is how it is supposed to look. Spoon the mix into a lined muffin tray and bake in the middle shelf of a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.
This recipe is supposed to yield 12 large muffins. I either got carried away with the music or am in need of some new kitchen scales, but I did have some mixture left over after generously filling 12 cases. Not enough for another batch. Not enough for mini-muffins. Just enough for one large muffin. So I did what bakers probably don't do. I filled a case and balanced it on top of my muffin tray between the other neatly spaced muffins. End result - a baker's dozen of slightly misshapen muffins that did not last the day.

A week devoted to Dining Astoria
To celebrate the array of culture, delicious foods and dining experiences in Astoria, the Central Astoria Local Development Corporation (CALDC) will host "Dining Astoria" week from June 24 through 30.
Hundreds of restaurants will participate, offering prie-fixe menus, discounts and specials throughout the week.
A preliminary list compiled by CALDC includes Adriatic, Middle Eastern, South American, East and Western European, Asian, African, American and Continental restaurants, taverns, diners and ethnic fast food outlets.
At an unrelated event, Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. said Dining Astoria will spread awareness to the few people who may not already know that Astoria is the food capital of the city.
"I 'Dine Astoria' just about every day of my life," Vallone said. "Few are still unaware of the food in Astoria, but for those who maybe just moved to New York City, they should know that not only can you get any kind of food imaginable in Astoria, it's also the best tasting."
Vallone added that eating in Astoria involves a whole experience, from dining in the ethnic holes-in-the-walls to lounging in the outdoor cafe's along 30th Avenue.
"It's an entire nice experience and this is going to get even more people to be aware of it," he said.
Teresa Power, an Astoria resident who lives near 30th Avenue, said she also prefers to eat in her own neighborhood.
"I love it here, we eat here all the time," she said.
Power said she prefers to eat along 30th Avenue because she can sit outside, but that Astoria as a whole has such good food because of its cultural diversity.
"There's always people outside, which I love," she said. "There's such a mix of so many people."

C.S. Lewis once said, "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest."
With that inspiration at the heart of her mission, Nashville children's author Ronda Friend birthed her publishing company, Sunflower Seeds Press, to inspire readers of all ages to impact their culture through character-based living. Her indie publishing company has generated sales of approximately 200,000 books solely by direct marketing.
Taking her energetic blend of storytelling and entertainment to assemblies, workshops and family nights nationwide, Ronda has been welcomed in thirty-two states, where she brings her books to life for the students of over two-thousand schools.
Ronda's family series, Down On Friendly Acres, centers on her life in the 50s & 60s. Best described as "Little House on the Prairie meets Green Acres," this series appeals to all generations — children, teenagers, parents, and grandparents. Heartwarming, historical, and hilariously funny, the books contain original songs, recipes, poems, true-to-life cliffhangers, hidden sunflowers, etc. Each book highlights a character trait.
In addition, a line of picture books designed for two levels of readers is her newest innovation. A split-page layout permits text for both older readers, and, below, a pre-reader's rhymed, simplified version of the story.
Residing in Franklin, Tennessee, Ronda and her husband launched a children's foundation. Friend2Friend Book Project reaches out to children battling medical challenges by distributing her character-based, family-friendly books that ignite laughter, inspire courage, and unite families. Partnering with schools and children's hospitals, they "Deliver Pages of Smiles to Courageous Kids" sharing hope and encouragement to thousands of brave little warriors. Prior to launching her publishing company and foundation, Ronda spent her life working with kids as an educator, a professional storyteller with Scholastic Books, and conference speaker.
P.U. You Stink! Book
Program Title: Character-based Assembly Programs
R. Friend's character-based assembly program challenges students to be avid readers, creative writers, and citizens with great character. This high energy, fast-paced, entertaining program is guaranteed to keep everyone totally engaged. Using professional storytelling, music, audience participation, sign language, history and life lessons, six-year-old Ronda takes the audience Down on Friendly Acres in the 50s and 60s. The room will explode with laughter as she plays Penelope the Pig, Sparky the Skunk, Sheriff Stinkbug, and finally the evil foxes in her one-of-a-kind picture book entitled P.U. You Stink – a book emphasizing teamwork.
Program Title: Creative Writing Workshops
Creative juices will flow as students learn by doing. With the use of an acrostic and an alliteration, seven important aspects of creative writing are covered. R. Friend encourages students by example to include music, poems, recipes, hidden objects, new vocabulary words, and true-to-life dilemmas in their stories. With Ronda at the helm, along with a unique, innovative writing card game, students will be motivated to think outside the box, stretching their imaginations to create a memorable, meaningful, magical story together. Students enter their stories for a chance to win signed copies of a book from R. Friend.
Program Title: R. Friend Family Nights
An R. Friend family night, used in conjunction with a day program, will be extraordinary. Children will be begging parents and inviting their grandparents to return that evening for a memorable, magical moment. Ronda will engage the audience with professional storytelling, original songs, audience participation and a message of hope and love. However, the highlight of the evening is when every student in attendance will have the opportunity to sing, dance, act and use sign language as they perform two songs with Ronda on stage and act out P.U. You Stink. Students gifts and talents will be on display!

Which Canadian city does Christmas best?
Most Christmassy city list in Canada – It is that time of year again, when preparations for Christmas festivities are in full flow all across the land. And with it, the return of a recurring debate: which Canadian city does Christmas best? Well, thanks to new research released today, we may at last know the answer.
Keen to solve the puzzle, the insights team at PartyCasino carried out an in-depth analysis of several Instagram hashtags, which helped the online entertainment firm determine where the most Christmas fun is to be had in Canada.
Topping the table was Toronto, with the city generating the highest number of Instagram posts with hashtags dedicated to winter (14,987) and Christmas (5,144). Additionally, the Christmas market held in Ontario's capital was more popular than those in other cities.
In second and third most Christmassy city list in Canada were Montreal and Vancouver respectively; #Montrealwinter was used more than 9,800 times, whilst #Montrealchristmas led to just shy of 800 posts on the popular image-sharing platform.
And if you are wondering how our country's capital fared, well it is fair to say there is room for improvement. When considering other factors such as Santa parades, Christmas lights or pop-up ice rinks, the team at PartyCasino claims Ottawa only has the sixth-highest odds of being visited by Santa this year, with Toronto once again leading the way.
On the other end of the spectrum, the likes of Quebec City, Edmonton, Newfoundland, Niagara Falls and Saskatoon generated the least Christmas-related posts on Instagram.

Eva Leopoldi – the artist
Me and my smartphone
Who is Eva Leopoldi, the artist? What characterises her art?
Leopoldi creates narrative art by using artistic photography and subsequent digital processing.
She was a painter, mixed art artist, initiator and project manager of art projects, passionate photo artist and is concerned with art philosophies and currents.
Following Johan Huizinga and the media theorist Vilem Flusser, she calls herself a "playing artist", i.e. "Ludens Artifex" #ludensartifex.
Huizinga places the thinking human being "Homo Sapiens" and the creating human being "Homo Faber" alongside the human being as a player "Homo Ludens". Vilem Flusser expanded on this concept. Only by playing can people create and generate new information – even if these are not necessarily linked to each other!
This is precisely what distinguishes Leopoldi's art: She wants to tell NEW THINGS, create NEW INFORMATION, and because there is a limitation in the activity of photography – only "photographable things" can be taken – she then digitally reworks her works. She develops new truths. It is not the world in front of the camera lens that is real, but the resulting photographic work that is real – but simply ONE reality out of MANY. For every playing artist, playing human being can succeed in designing new truths of their own.
In December 2021 she discovers the newly introduced art historical term #Techspressionism. This movement describes visual artists who use digital technologies to convey subjective, emotional content. Under this term, the artist finally finds herself arrived.
Here is the wonderful website with all the information on the term, artists and the manifesto of Techspressionism.
Artistic career
After the birth of her children, Eva Leopoldi switched from handicrafts to art, developed her own special painting technique on silk and studied art history and theories. At that time, she became intensively involved with the Appropriation Art. Postmodern appropriation refers to the act of quoting or reusing already existing elements within a new work of art.
By reusing within this NEWLY THOUGHT OF work, the original image is re-contextualised and the recipients receive a different, newly developed pictorial statement.
Later, the painter developed further into a mixed-art artist, combining image, photography, text and video in her projects.
The picture series "Mon Paris", for example, was created during numerous stays in Paris and for the complex project "12malanders.TheProject.", which she initiated and directed, she worked together with other artists, twelve authors, a cartoonist and a photographer. An art book was produced for this project, which is also available via this website. In general, the challenge of filling a concept with original content is as important to her as painting
I always want to tell a story. A picture that doesn't tell anything is like a beautiful leaflet on the bookshelf for me."
The new orientation of her art, which now also includes photo projects, digital art and object art, is very clearly reflected in the new logo "Leopoldi-Art.repeated.different".
And the desire to develop projects continues to be a passion of the artist. In 2017, for example, together with the entrepreneur and art lover Veronika Peters, she was the initiator and organiser of the Dada-like evening #MachmaKunst at the Altstadttheater Ingolstadt. Leni Brem and Falco Blome, the " people behind the scenes" of the Altstadt Theatre, were the artistic directors.
Narrative art in the visual arts. Unlike literary artists, visual artists are only able to give hints. Titles are an important part of this, to give the viewer some clues…. And of course the representational nature of a work (including form, colour, dimension, staging, medium, place of presentation). But isn't that precisely where the attraction lies? The viewers are confronted with themselves, with their associations, which arise, provided they get involved and don't just want to listen to the stories of the artists or exhibition guides or gallery owners – which is of course also legitimate, and frankly can also be fun…."
Leopoldi discovered the possibilities of augmented reality in 2018 and, together with the artist "Soussen", presented the 1st exhibition in the Munich area that deals completely with the topic (outside of the museum or university setting) – "analogue meets digital – you leave the comfort zone".
Both artists are equally enthusiastic about this way of expanding the art experience and thus bringing young people and kids into the exhibition. After all, one of Leopoldi's major concerns is to present art to young people in a way that makes them want to engage with it and lose their shyness about exhibitions that are otherwise often elitist and boring.
I would like to see a more relaxed open attitude towards art – I don't want a reverent silence in front of my works, but rather lived emotions, conversations and debate."
In summer 2019, she was able to realise a heart's desire with the art association Ku:nst International, of which she is also a member: The exhibition #I'mSimplyJustHuman." Leopoldi is of the opinion that as an artist, it is one's duty to take a stand. Because the artist has many more opportunities to be heard or seen in public than many others. The intolerance and discrimination that people who are perceived as "different" have to suffer is unacceptable.
Everyone can contribute to promoting equality and peace, through conversations, stories or actions in their small environment, their microcosm, and we artists are even lucky enough to reach people in a slightly larger radius and I believe it is our human duty to work against inequality."
Since October 2020, Leopoldi has been a member of the Association Kunstverein Passau, because it is naturally also a concern of the artist to make contacts in her new and final home and then also to get involved.
The wonderful art project #kuico, which she has developed and is bringing to life together with photographer Simone Naumann, will be a kind of artistic documentation of the Corona period. Eva is deeply grateful for the support and participation of the people who share her thoughts and visual material.
Since 2021, the artist has also been a member of the Rottaler Fotofreunde association and the Kulturfreunde in Rotthalmünster. In her eyes, being part of the cultural world in the region is just as important as being part of an international photo community.
In March 2021, I was a nominee in the "Abstract Photo" section of the Color Awards.
The INTERNATIONAL COLOR AWARDS are the leading international awards for excellence in colour photography. This acclaimed event shines a spotlight on the best professional and amateur photographers worldwide and honours the finest images with the highest achievements in colour photography. www.colorawards.com

"As a woman born in 1962, I would also like to artistically address women's menopause in the next few years. But I will expand this concept – because not only the transition to an ageing woman is a change – there are many more changes in women's lives. And why should it only be from a woman's point of view?….Let me surprise you :)".

Q: What are problems with shallow copy? This is an interview question I saw from here:
http://www.careercup.com/question?id=1707701
Want to know more about this .thanks

A: Shallow copy causes a problem (primarily) when you have "remote ownership". The most common form is a pointer to data that's owned by the object so when the object is destroyed the data it owns gets destroyed as well. One place many people run into this is the inevitable  string class:
// warning: bad code. Do *not* use.
class mystring {
    char *data;
public:
    mystring() : data(NULL) {}
    mystring(char *init) {
        data = new char[strlen(init)+1];
        strcpy(data, init);
    }

    ~mystring() { delete [] data; }
};

int main() {
     mystring s("This is a string");

     mystring t;

     t = s;
}

This will compile just fine. Under these exact circumstances, it might even seem to run fine as well. That doesn't mean it's really right though. When we assign s to t, the pointer gets copied, but what it points at does not get copied. We have two objects both containing pointers to the same buffer. When one of them gets destroyed, it deletes the associated buffer for the data. Then we have a dangling pointer -- it's still trying to refer to the buffer, but the buffer no longer exists. When the second object gets destroyed, it'll try to free the same memory again -- but since it's already been freed, that leads to undefined behavior (I.e., anything can happen, and something bad usually will).
There are two common alternatives to shallow copying. One is a "deep" copy, in which we overload the copy constructor and assignment operator for the class, and in them when we copy/assign the object, we allocate a new buffer and copy the contents of the old buffer to the new one.
The second is reference counting. Instead of a "raw" pointer to the buffer, we use a "smart" pointer to the buffer. The smart pointer keeps track of how many objects refer to the buffer and only frees the buffer itself when nothing refers to it any more.
Neither is entirely perfect: deep copying can be slow and use a lot of memory, especially if there's a lot of data involved. Reference counting can be slow in multi-threaded environments -- since the reference count can be accessed from multiple threads, you have to protect it to assure only one thread modifies it a time (which is usually at least an order of magnitude slower than a normal increment/decrement).

A: shallow copy is when you just make a copy of an object with exactly the same fields(and pointer):
the class
class Car{
String name;
Owner* owner;
}

arguments:
Owner owner
Car car1 = {"car", owner}
Car car2 = car1.copy
car2 = {"car", owner}

so now we copied all fields of car1 to car2 and both of them fields owner pointing to same owner, and since owner it's a pointer we are now have a dangling pointer so each change made in car1 will affect car2
but if we would made a deep copy we should get it right:
Car car3 = car1.deepCopy => will create ownerCopy = owner.copy
car3 = {"car", ownerCopy}

so now changes on car1 won't affect car3 at all
HERE is an explanation with images

Q: Why does str[64:] work while str[64] doesn't? Say you have a string named s:
s = "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
len(s)
#63

When you run s[64:], the Python compiler returns ''.
However, when you run s[64] the code raises the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: string index out of range

Why does this happen?
Thanks in advance.

I say scholarship — in truth anyone with a level of Spanish from absolute beginner to advanced linguist can apply. It started with group therapy. Our teacher Arantza — tall, dark and Basque — sat on a desk and asked what we hoped to get from the course. We had come in search of the same thing: to speak and understand Spanish fluently, without fear or embarrassment. English was out.
Well, guess what? Which meant that Heidi, Tony, and their 5-year-old daughter Rosalie would only be a few hours away from me for the entire month of July.

The Yucatan Peninsula is best known for beaches and resorts along the Caribbean Coast, but there is more to this region of Mexico than just margaritas and sunshine.

Valladolid is full of great colonial architecture, with many of the buildings painted in bright colours, and a vibrant central town square.
There are many world-class attractions in the surrounding areas, which makes Valladolid the perfect place to base yourself while you explore the nearby surroundings. There are many great natural wonders; there are several cenotes fresh water sink holes located inside and around the city. Just north of Valladolid, there is the Biosphere Reserve of Ria Lagartos, which includes Las Coloradas, where you can see pink lakes, crocodiles and flamingos.

Just a short drive outside of the city, there are many other cenotes, including two side by side cenotes — Samula and Xkeken — which are great for swimming in the underground water and is great for pictures. The city had a great buzz to it, and on both nights we were in town, there were events happening in the town square.

Earlier in the day, a last-minute Manu Trigueros strike condemned 17th-placed Celta Vigo to defeat at Villarreal. The club from the outskirts of Madrid defied expectations to avoid relegation in their first three seasons in Primera and enjoyed their best ever La Liga campaign with a 13th-placed finish in The disastrous start precipitated the exit of Argentine manager Mauricio Pellegrino , who resigned on October In the process, Aguirre became the first Mexican to establish himself as a top-level coach in Europe.
They took 17 points from 12 matches between early December and early March, bringing them to within three points of safety. Aguirre had transformed the mentality of his players, who now believed in a great escape that once seemed impossible. The winter departures of key attackers Martin Braithwaite and Youssef En-Nesyri , which left Leganes 38 million euros in the coffers, could prove costly. Considering their position in the table when he took over and their alarming lack of firepower, if Aguirre can save Leganes from relegation it would be the crowning achievement of a sterling career.

Last time I told you about some of the differences between Spain and the US. I think it really helped that one of my previous professors, Antonio, told us a lot about Spain and the culture here. I have noticed a surprising amount of influence from the US and England here. For example, my culture professor told us that people have started using the word running instead of corriendo.
Or they make hybrid words like puenting bungee jumping by adding -ing to the end of a word. Puente means bridge in Spanish. But at least they seem to know that they are in the US.

Who is threatening Elon Musk's life?
Elon Musk Tweeted today: "If I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowin' ya"
As we all know, Musk's acquisition of Twitter threatens the Democratic Party's chances of winning future elections, because Mr. Musk intends to allow freedom of reliable information and freedom of legitimate expression, instead of the current Big Tech policy, to ban statements that may support Republicans or expose Democrats' corruption.
The hysteria that the purchase of Twitter by the billionaire, who is in favour of democracy, has provoked quite aggressive reactions, including an attempt to use regulatory tricks and all sorts of bureaucratic tactics to block the purchase of Twitter by Musk, to thwart his plan to give America back the freedom of legitimate expression and freedom of reliable information it lost.
Now the hysteria seems to be escalating, shifting to threats on Musk's life.
This is especially worrying because the freedom of information that Musk "threatens" to bring back to America, is linked to the very same tycoons who perpetrated the perfect assassination of Jeffrey Epstein.
His tweet from today must arouse concern among all those for whom democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of information are considered important principles.

To Oh Ya 264 days ago
Oh Ya, you concentrate on the controversial argument, and miss the point.
The Democrats' technique for gaining masses of primitive voters is ingenious. The feelings of inferiority of the primitive voters is the secret. A person who is uneducated, or poor, or has complexes because of his origin, race, or social affiliation, needs compliments that will lift his ego from the low point in which he is buried. In a technique invented by Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister) the left brands itself as enlightened, liberal, as a democrat, as educated, as modern, as advanced, and the other side as primitive, inferior, uneducated, unvalued, and so on.
Now it is up to a person who is really inferior for some reason, to choose. Does he want to belong to someone who is branded as an inferior person, or to someone who is branded as an intellectual, cultural and social elite. And so all the poor of life are proud of the fact that they belong to a camp that actually despises them, despises them and is disgusted with them.
As we see in practice, the actions and not the speeches of the left camp, they oppose freedom of expression, in favor of wars, restrict the freedom of the press, and act to delegitimize tens of millions of decent citizens whose every sin is that they voted in elections to someone else.
The left is not and the democratic is not. Enlightened it is not and tolerant it is not. Liberal is not, and modern is not. The content is completely inverted from the cover.
Being a Democrat is a mental illness. Since the days of them being the slave owners they have wanted to control everyone. Hard to believe that blacks would vote for their ancestors slave owners

"Give me blood, I will give you freedom"

"Karo ya Maro"
This slogan was said by "Gandhi" which means "Do or Die" the intention behind it to tell the people that we should free ourselves or die in an attempt.
"Inqlaab Zindabad"
It means "Long Live Revolution"
"Aaram Haraam Hai"

Who lives if India dies
Saare jahan se achchha hindustan hamara
It means "India Is better than the whole world"
These are some slogans for the independence day of the country.
"Without freedom, you are nothing."
If we can't live freely and have no rights then we are not humans because free will is a part of humans.
"One flag, one land, one heart, one hand"
People of one country under its flag are always connected in some way and are ready to face troubles together with unity.
Let freedom reign!
We found the key, we're now free!
Independence is happiness
An independent country is a Happiest country
Patriotism is like charity – it begins at home
A patriot gives his life as a charity to protect his country
The first of earthly blessings, independence
Every step, every hope
All of these slogans highlight the importance of independence, we all have experienced that independent countries are always better than dependent countries or countries which don't have freedom like Palestine. To be dependent but with patriotism opens doors for possible freedom. Only patriotism could instill courage enough to fight for freedom. From the slogans above you would have now, the idea of what love for the country demands. Sacrifice, compassion, hard work, loyalty, and strong character. Lack of patriotism is dangerous; you could fall into wrong hands. You could be bought for money against anyone, sometimes against your countrymen and that is what killed the world at moment, the absence of loyalty.

Shippensburg University enhances transfer pathways for HACC students
Posted by Megan Silverstrim | Dec 7, 2022 | Categories: News Headlines
On December 5, 2022, the presidents of HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College; Millersville University; and Shippensburg University signed an historic enhanced articulation agreement that is the first multi-institution, multi-program study articulation for the three institutions. The presidents and representatives from the three institutions gathered at HACC's Harrisburg Campus for the signing event.
"This agreement emphasizes our mutual mission of putting the success of our students first. HACC students who commit early in their educational career to transfer to either Millersville University or Shippensburg University after earning a HACC associate degree will receive combined support from the institutions," said HACC President and CEO John J. "Ski" Sygielski. MBA, Ed.D.
"The enhanced transfer pathways program between HACC, Millersville and Shippensburg will strengthen the already strong relationship that exists between our regional community college and PASSHE universities. Together, we are creating seamless transfer pathways for community college students looking to complete their bachelor's degrees. Through this renewed partnership, all three institutions are reinforcing our commitment to making a college degree accessible and affordable for every student in the Commonwealth," said Millersville University President Daniel A. Wubah, Ph.D.
"As a university, we are deeply committed to the success of our students, and a critical component of student success is clear and purposeful academic pathways. This collaboration gives students a clear path forward and informs them each semester as they work toward their associate degree at HACC and their bachelor's degree at Shippensburg University. We appreciate the faculty and administration at all three campuses for their work in enhancing the experience for HACC students with the intent to transfer. We expect this enhanced transfer agreement to positively impact students as they enter into the HACC system and look forward to completing their bachelor's degrees," said Shippensburg University Interim Provost Nicole Hill, Ph.D.
Approximately 100 educators from the three institutions worked together to iron out the details to ensure requirements will be met and combined wraparound services provided so that students can easily transfer from HACC to either Millersville University or Shippensburg University.
The enhanced articulation agreement expands on previous articulation agreements between HACC and Millersville University and between HACC and Shippensburg University.
For more information about starting at HACC, please email start@hacc.edu. For information about transferring from HACC to Millersville University or Shippensburg University, please email transfer@hacc.edu.

BMW is Skeptical About Degree three Autonomous Driving
One of the biggest tech additions to the BMW fleet this year is the Level 3 autonomous driving capability. The new BMW 7 Series and i7 (G70) are the first to receive this major upgrade. But, of course, any new tech comes with its own challenges. According to a DPA Report quoted by efahrer.chip.de, BMW CEO Oliver Zipse and his engineering team are concerned above all about the necessary compromises that result from the assumption of liability by the car manufacturer.
Level 3 Only In Europe For Now
"The car is not an iPhone on wheels," Zipse said. "A Level 3 system, whether at 60, 80 or 120 kilometers per hour, which constantly switches off in the tunnel, switches off when it rains, switches off in the dark, switches off in fog – what's that supposed to mean? No customer buys it. No one wants to be in the shoes of a manufacturer who misinterprets a traffic situation during the liability phase, for example when control is handed back to the driver. We don't take the risk," Zipse added.
There's also the topic of cost. Zipse sees limits to the willingness of customers to buy additional vehicle functions, like in a subscription model. "If they pay 50,000 euros for a car, they can't say that everything isn't included," the BMW CEO says. At the same time, the BMW boss doesn't seem threatened by competitors who might offer similar services. "We are not at all afraid of tech players because we work with everyone," said Zipse.
Additionally, every country has its own requirements for autonomous driving which adds complexity and cost to the development of self-driving features. For example, the Level 3 in the new BMW 7 Series will only be available in Europe, for now. The US market will continue using the Level 2+ system which we also tested last year.

Usbourne's School of the Term
We are so excited to be Usbourne's School of the Term. Below is the article they have on their website.
We are delighted to announce that Bewbush Primary Academy School are the winners of our School of the Term award for Autumn Term One.
Celebrated six times a year, School of the Term is a half-termly award that is given to one UK or EU school that has had a fantastic event with an Usborne Organiser. We are very keen to showcase the amazing things that schools have achieved through working with their Usborne Organiser - it isn't just about the amount of money raised, but the difference made to the positive reading culture of that school.
Nominated by Usborne Organiser, Amanda Saunders, Bewbush Academy really stood out to us for the buzz and excitement that they've created around reading, and the ingrained whole school culture they have of reading for pleasure:
"Bewbush Academy has a large number of children from disadvantaged backgrounds with 33% of the school on the Pupil Premium register. There are many children at the school for whom English is not their first language.
I have visited the school a number of times over the last two years and have always been delighted to see how excited the children (and staff!) are about books. Just walking down the corridor with teacher, Claire Farndon, there were children constantly coming up to her to let her know their reading achievements!
I've worked with the school for a couple of years, and this year ran a Ready Steady Read... with the school alongside a book fair on Sports Day. So many children and parents came to support the school and it was lovely to help the children find the perfect book! The school raised nearly £2,000 for books for their new library, which Usborne added to, giving the school over £2,500 to spend!
In addition to the books from Usborne, a number of teachers from the school have independently been running a campaign on social media called 'Book Share Sussex'. They wanted to provide every single child in the school with a book they could take home and keep for themselves, as many do not have access to books at home. Last week they were able to give over 600 children a book of their own to keep and said the atmosphere was 'truly magical'. The children were so excited!
I've thoroughly enjoyed working with the Bewbush Academy over the last two years and I'm over the moon that they have won this award. Every time I have visited there has been obvious excitement about new books, both from the children and staff. The school are really passionate about giving children the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of books and reading."
Claire Farndon, Accelerated Reader Lead Teacher and Head of Year Four, told us about how much the school enjoys working with Amanda, and how big a difference she has made to the school:
"The Bewbush Academy has been working alongside Amanda and Usborne books for two years now and the children of the school have greatly benefited from this partnership.
Classroom book corners have now been updated with books the children are eager to read. Series such as Oliver Moon are incredibly popular and are picked off the shelf as soon as they are put back. It has sparked an interest in reading in some children where there was none before, and allowed those already excited by reading the opportunity to delve into new genres.
Class bookshelves have been updated with new and exciting genres that have transported the children to many different worlds. It is brilliant when a series of books really captures their attention and you can hear them talking between themselves about what they read last night. The range of books on offer is fantastic and has helped boost our non-fiction range of texts, which often appeals to our more reluctant boy readers. There is a real ethos in the school now of reading for pleasure, and it is lovely to see children literally hugging books to their chest as they walk down the corridor.
We were thrilled to have been selected as Usborne School of the Term as we feel the hard work the staff, children and Amanda have put in has been recognised. Here's to even more books this year!"
Congratulations, Bewbush Academy! We are so proud of the amazing reading culture that you have at your school!
Here's what some of the students (aged 8) thought about their brand new books:
Ben – "There's so many books, my mind's blown!"
Isabella - "I saw that book in the book-shop and really wanted to read it. Now I can!"
Anokhi - "My mum and I really enjoyed reading the book together at home last night."
India - "I can't decide which book to choose first, there are so many!"
Alicia – "We're so lucky to have so many books. The books have helped our accelerated reader rocket fly!"

In this article, we will show you, How to write a C Program to Check for Prime Armstrong or Perfect Number with an example.
We already explained the concept of Prime, Armstrong or Perfect Number in our previous articles. So I suggest you to refer C Program for Armstrong Number, C Program to find Perfect Number and C program to find Prime Number articles to understand the code.
This C program to check prime, Armstrong or perfect number allows the user to enter the Size and the row elements of One Dimensional Array. Next, we are created an individual function to find whether it is a Prime Number, Armstrong Number, or Perfect Number.


"The 25 bps cut and other measures by the RBI is a positive step. As the inflation is under control and below 3%, we expected the central bank to reduce the repo rate.
RBI's current rate cut is indicating that in the next fiscal, if the inflation remains below 3% and oil prices remain stable, we expect rates to further reduce by ~25 bps."

Q: ruby regex finding first two numbers in a string If I have a string like
6d7411014f

I want to read the the occurrence of first two integers and put the final number in a variable
Based on above example my variable would contain 67
more examples:
d550dfe10a

variable would be 55
What i've tried is \d but that gives me 6. how do I get the second number?

A: I'd use scan for this sort of thing:
n = my_string.scan(/\d/)[0,2].join.to_i

You'd have to decide what you want to do if there aren't two numbers though.
For example:
>> '6d7411014f'.scan(/\d/)[0,2].join.to_i
=> 67

>> 'd550dfe10a'.scan(/\d/)[0,2].join.to_i
=> 55

>> 'pancakes'.scan(/\d/)[0,2].join.to_i
=> 0

>> '6 pancakes'.scan(/\d/)[0,2].join.to_i
=> 6

References:

*

*String#scan

*Array#[]

*Array#join

A: I really can't answer this exactly in Ruby, but a regex to do it is:
/^\D*(\d)\D*(\d)/

Then you have to concatenate $1 and $2 (or whatever they are called in Ruby).

A: Building off of sidyll's answer,
string = '6d7411014f'
matched_vals = string.match(/^\D*(\d)\D*(\d)/)
extracted_val = matched_vals[1].to_i * 10 + matched_vals[2].to_i

                });

My dates are in yyyy-mm-dd HH format and what I am trying to accomplish is this for example:

*

*"Time": "2017-04-02 16" converted to 'April 02' on the x axis and have the hour (HH) just displayed as a tool tip...etc

Here is a jsfiddle link https://jsfiddle.net/rsov2s2s/
Any help is appreciated.

A: In your data objects, Time is only a string. Thus, you`ll have to parse it into an actual date:
data.forEach(function(d){
    d.Time = d3.timeParse("%Y-%m-%d %H")(d.Time)
});

In this function, d3.timeParse uses "%Y-%m-%d %H" as a specifier, which matches the structure of your strings.
After that, don't forget to change the xScale from scaleLinear to scaleTime.
Here is your code with those changes only:

var data = [{
  "Brand": "Toyota",
  "Count": 1800,
  "Time": "2017-04-02 16"
}, {
  "Brand": "Toyota",
  "Count": 1172,
  "Time": "2017-04-02 17"
}, {
  "Brand": "Toyota",
  "Count": 2000,
  "Time": "2017-04-02 18"
}, {
  "Brand": "Honda",
  "Count": 8765,
  "Time": "2017-04-02 16"
}, {
  "Brand": "Honda",
  "Count": 3445,
  "Time": "2017-04-02 17"
}, {
  "Brand": "Honda",
  "Count": 1232,
  "Time": "2017-04-02 18"
}];

data.forEach(function(d) {
  d.Time = d3.timeParse("%Y-%m-%d %H")(d.Time)
});

var dataGroup = d3.nest() //d3 method that groups data by Brand
  .key(function(d) {
    return d.Brand;
  })
  .entries(data);

A Maryland college honors the lives of enslaved people

Hari Sreenivasan:
Yesterday, St. Mary's College in Maryland held a virtual commemoration unveiling a unique memorial recognizing its role in the history of slavery, entitled "From Absence to Presence: the Commemorative to Enslaved Peoples of Southern Maryland."
The college is the latest of several institutions to confront and reconcile with a legacy of slavery. The unveiling at St. Mary's capped a yearslong journey that began with an archaeological discovery on the campus grounds.
NewsHour Weekend's Ivette Feliciano has more.
Ivette Feliciano:
So what was your initial reaction when you found out that archeologists had uncovered slave artifacts on the college grounds?
Tuajuanda Jordan:
It gave me pause, actually. The college is located in southern Maryland, which has a history of slavery. But in my mind, I had hoped or in my heart I had hoped that we would not have been engaged in that at all.
Tuajuanda Jordan is the president of St. Mary's College of Maryland. Early in her tenure, the college began surveying the campus grounds in preparation for a new stadium complex. In 2016, school archaeologists uncovered evidence of lives once lived on the same grounds that students walk on today. There were 18th and 19th century ceramics, tobacco pipes, and bricks and nails that suggest slave quarters once stood on this very site.
It didn't make me feel very happy. But it was important that we recognize that.
The stadium site was relocated. In its place would be an installation commemorating the lives of enslaved people who toiled on this land long before and even after the founding of the college in 1840.
Where we're located, the community is focused on how the world was from the perspective of the colonists. But an important aspect that was missing from my point of view was the representation from the enslaved people and they did not have a voice. And this gave an opportunity to present the history of the region from a different perspective.
In October of this year work began on the installation. There are no statues, no paintings.
Norman Lee:
So we were really kind of interested in this idea of slave quarters being a very powerful metaphor.
Architects Norman Lee, Shane Allbritton along with poet Quenton Baker, collaborated on the project.
Angela Davis has a very powerful quote talking about how slave quarters were really the only place where slaves could kinda exist and kind of be human in the sense that they were able to remove themselves from the gaze of slave owners. So, at the same time, they were essentially in a prison. The slave quarters themselves were kind of a symbol of empowerment because they actually live their private lives.
The designers pulled historical documents, 18th and 19th century slave folklore and site specific archaeological artifacts to present a history that still remains incomplete. The structure is made of wooden slats and reflective stainless steel etched with the poetry of Quenton Baker.
Shane Allbritton:
Because of the reflection of the sculpture, it becomes an immersive experience in that the viewer is injected into the storyline through that reflection, nothing resonates with people more in the visual arts than, than the human form. And here we are making the viewer that human form, which forces them to pay attention and forces confrontation between the past and the present.
For his part in the project, Baker used the language of runaway slave ads from St. Mary's county. Those words became the poetry etched into the steel.
Quenton Baker:
It's an unthinkable reality to live your life as property. And so what I hope the language does is that it brings forth the reality of people as property and the reality of the interiority of individuals who live through this, who still loved and cared and laughed and hurt and bled and broke and existed in a reality of nonexistence. That's an impossible thing to think about and an impossible thing to consider. But that was also what happened.
St. Mary's College is not the only institution coming to terms with its legacy of slavery. In addition to a number of other steps, Georgetown University now offers preferential admission to descendants of enslaved people held by the university. The University of Virginia created a consortium of schools to research and address their historical ties perpetuating slavery.
This is a moment right now where a lot of higher ed institutions are trying to grapple with their legacies of slavery. Do you feel there's an appropriate way to memorialize this history?
I don't think there's one way by which to memorialize the history, everyone has to do what feels right to them. I think the, there's an improper way to do it, and that is to not tell the full story.
Some might say the journey to this commemorative has been a passion project for St. Mary's College of Maryland. Students were engaged in the archaeological dig. There are courses and special projects exploring this period of slavery. And the community helped decide who would design the art installation. Jordan sees pursuing this history as a duty of a higher education institution.
When you tell the history of a place and of course, as life evolves, perspectives change. But they don't change as much when you are inclusive and the telling of that history and you lend a voice to those who have been silenced in the past and that this commemorative lent a voice to the enslaved people, and that should set us on the path to do better in this country.

Come along for a singalong in the Shed

GRAEME Ensoll has spent the past quarter of a century singing all over Buderim.
He was with the Sunshine Statesmen for 25 years and the U3A old time band for the same amount of time.
But the Statesmen practise in the evening and as much as Graeme loves singing with them, he doesn't want to go out in the evenings anymore.
Along with a few fellow singers he came up with the idea of getting together at the Men's Shed for a singalong - not for a competition, but just for fun.
"Anybody who wants to sing can come," he said.
"The idea is also any other singers around who maybe don't sing barbershop but sing a capella too, they can come and join in.
"I've got about 10 coming and I'm hoping we might get a few more."
He said the Men's Shed was happy to host the morning of singing and any retired barbershop or acapella singers were very welcome.
"The barbershop style is different and it's just very good to do," he said.
"Singing is good for us older guys too, it's good for your lungs and stamina."
The sing-along is on Friday, February 19 at 10am at the Buderim Men's Shed, Mill Rd, Buderim.
Phone Graeme on 5445 4298 or email bjensoll@bigpond.com.
