Q: How to Calculate A to the power B without use of multiplication and divsion operator? I need to find A raise to the power b, simply power ( a, b ) without the use of multiplication and division operator
Ex: pow ( 2, 3 ) = 8
I am unable to understand the intuition behind this code.
int pow(int a, int b)
{
    if (b == 0)
        return 1;
    int answer = a;
    int increment = a;
    int i, j;
    for(i = 1; i < b; i++)
    {
        for(j = 1; j < a; j++)
        {
            answer += increment;
        }
        increment = answer;
    }
    return answer;
}

A: well the inner loop multiplies a by itself by adding it to itself a times.
the outer loop does this b times

A: It works like this:
If the exponent is zero you just return 1. Otherwise you need to do a calculation.
The inner loop, i.e.
for(j = 1; j < a; j++)
{
    answer += increment;
}

performs a multiplication. The result of executing that code is equivalent to
answer += increment * a;

And the outer loop is repeating that multiplication b - 1 times (because answer starts as a, so you need one less multiplication as if you were starting with answer = 1), I.e. in total you get
answer += ((a * a) * a ) ... *a

for b-1 times in total, which is equivalent to a^b.

A:
...power ( a, b ) without the use of multiplication and division
  operator

To avoid multiplication, note that 3 x 5 means either
    3+3+3+3+3
or
    5+5+5.
For power, note that 3 ^ 3 (i.e. 3 cubed) means 3 x 3 x 3.  The multiplications in this product can be replaced with additions (i.e. 3 x 3 => 3+3+3, and then 9 x 3 = 9+9+9 = 27).


The Slovenian-born parents of Melania Trump have become US citizens at a naturalisation ceremony in New York - reportedly taking advantage of a family reunification programme President Donald Trump has vehemently denounced.
Mr Trump's in-laws, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, took the oath of citizenship, their lawyer Michael Wildes said.
Asked if they had obtained citizenship under a programme derisively branded "chain migration" by the president, Mr Wildes replied: "I suppose."
He said chain migration, which allows naturalised US citizens to sponsor close relatives for permanent residency, was a "dirtier" way of characterising what he called "a bedrock of our immigration process when it comes to family reunification".
Mr Trump has said the system steals jobs from Americans and threatens national security, calling for a merit-based system giving preference to more educated, English-speaking professionals. He wrote on Twitter in November: "Chain migration must end now! Some people come in, and they bring their whole family with them, who can be truly evil. Not acceptable!"
He frequently cites the example of Sayfullo Saipov, a naturalised immigrant from Uzbekistan who drove a rented truck down a busy bike path in New York in October, killing eight people and injuring 12, to illustrate why the family reunification programme must be ended.
Independent.ie Newsdesk Donald Trump has responded to the release of Robert Mueller's report into Russian election interference, saying: "This should never happen to another president again."
Tom Embury-Dennis White House officials are reportedly suffering "breakdown-level anxiety" over whether the Mueller report will expose them as a source of damaging information about US President Donald Trump.


NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is set to explore more distant worlds than ever before when it flies past 2014 MU69 in the early hours of New Year's Day.
The craft has gradually made its approach over the last two weeks as NASA scientists performed a series of checks and trajectory corrections to ensure New Horizons is on the right track to gather as much information as possible about the mysterious object, nicknamed Ultima Thule, without crashing into any debris that may be lurking in the outer reaches of our solar system.
She also said the spacecraft would pass within 19 miles of its aim point. That's about 2,200 miles from the object. To put that in perspective, remember those epic photos of Pluto? New Horizons cameras snapped those as it flew 12,500 kilometers (about 7,800 miles) from the surface of the far-off dwarf planet.
Thus, New Horizons will come three times closer to Ultima Thule than it did Pluto and provide NASA researchers with valuable images and science data of a world we know practically nothing about.
On Dec. 15, the 12 researchers who make up New Horizons hazard watch team confirmed that the approach path was safe using New Horizons' telescopic Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI). If they had discovered moons or rings near Ultima, NASA would have opted for a secondary flight path, with New Horizons course-correcting and flying past the object from a much greater distance.
'The team was in complete consensus that the spacecraft should remain on the closer trajectory, and mission leadership adopted our recommendation,' said Mark Showalter, hazards team lead.
On Dec. 26, New Horizons entered Encounter Mode, a type of 'safe mode' that ensures the science objectives of the mission will be carried out even if the spacecraft malfunctions. Under normal circumstances, a malfunction sees New Horizons phone home asking for help, but because this now takes 12 hours to perform, its risky to do so when the spacecraft is on its close approach.
Practically, entering Encounter Mode means the spacecraft is on its own now. With thousands of instructions loaded into its onboard computers, it has begun its delicate dance, 1 billion miles past Pluto.
Two days before we left New Horizons to its own devices, it snapped the highest-resolution image of the distant 'worldlet' yet: the dark, pixelated blur below shows Ultima Thule at its center, 10 million kilometers (about 6.3 million miles) away.
Within a week, that tiny pixel of light in the distance will become a known world. We'll see what it looks like, what it's made of, how cold it is, its mass and whether it has any moons of its own.
New Horizons will be literally ringing in the New Year by flying past the most distant world we've ever explored, with the closest approach set to occur at 12:33 a.m. ET on Jan. 1. Although the US is currently in the middle of an ongoing federal government shutdown, you'll still be able to catch the reactions and live simulations of the flyby on the New Horizons mission website. Data and images from the flyby are expected later on New Year's Day, sometime after 11:30 a.m. ET.
New Horizons just completed all radio science uplinks and released the DSN stations. Next up is the Phone Home Jan 1 10:30am EST. Ultima ready for close up!
After a year of great space news, New Horizons will hopefully put 2019 on the right flyby track, too, so I suggest you whack on the Interstellar soundtrack on New Year's Eve, settle in and marvel at the new world we're about to uncover.

Q: Android CircularReveal bug: Not working after starting another type of animator on the same view I have an app with a RecyclerView and in each item I implemented Swipe to star/dismiss behavior using onTouch(). There's no problem with my implementation and I can handle right and left swipe and claim drag from RecyclerView.
Each item is RevealFrameLayout that consists of content on the top, and below there is the original layout and the layout to be revealed, just like this:
Top layout:

Below layout (top revealed layer):

Below layout (default layout before reveal):

There I reveal the top revealed layers (colored ones) and everything works, until I added another ObjectAnimator to hide the star layout (make starred/unstarred), when The reveal works for the first time, and then another swipe will execute the hide animator, then 3rd time, where it's supposed to reveal once again, it really starts the animation (by debugging start() is executed) but it doesn't show up. 4th time the hiding animator works but no revealed layout.

The method to trigger any action:
void triggerAction(SwipeAction swipeAction, final Note note, final int position) {
    if (swipeAction.getActionId() == SwipeAction.STAR) {
        if (note.isStarred() && !hidden && !hideAnimating && !justAnimated) {
            starActionLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            archiveActionLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            Animator hideAnim = AnimationUtils.createHideAnimation(revealStar);
            hideAnim.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
                @Override
                public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                    revealStar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                    hideAnimating = false;
                    hidden = true;
                    note.setStarred(false);
                    MainActivity.notesController.set(position, note);
                    super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
                }
            });
            hideAnim.start();
            revealStar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); // DEBUG: Only to make sure the star layout is shown.
            justAnimated = true;
            hideAnimating = true;
            revealAnimating = false;
            revealed = false;
            hidden = false;
        } else if (!note.isStarred() && !revealAnimating && !revealed && !justAnimated) {
            starActionLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            archiveActionLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            final ObjectAnimator revealAnim = (ObjectAnimator) AnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(revealStar, (int) getCenterX(starActionImage), (int) getCenterY(starActionImage), 0, (float) getRadius(starActionLayout));
            revealAnim.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
                @Override
                public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                    revealAnimating = false;
                    revealed = true;
                    note.setStarred(true);
                    MainActivity.notesController.set(position, note);
                    super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
                }
            });
            revealAnim.start();
            justAnimated = true;
            revealAnimating = true;
            hideAnimating = false;
            hidden = false;
            revealed = false;
            revealStar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
    } else if (swipeAction.getActionId() == SwipeAction.ARCHIVE) {
        if (!revealAnimating && !revealed) {
            int added = starActionLayout.getWidth();
            starActionLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            archiveActionLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            Animator revealAnim = AnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(revealArchive, (int) getCenterX(archiveActionImage) + added, (int) getCenterY(archiveActionImage), 0, (float) getRadius(archiveActionLayout));
            revealAnim.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
                @Override
                public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                    revealAnimating = false;
                    revealed = true;
                    super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
                }
            });
            revealAnim.start();
            revealAnimating = true;
            revealArchive.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
    }
}

There's no problem with my conditions as debugging shows that the reveal animator show code is executed when it should. And AnimationUtils is a custom class that wraps ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(params) and another custom ObjectAnimator createHideAnimator() and there's no problem with that too.
AnimationUtils.java:
package com.skaldebane.util.graphics;

import android.animation.Animator;
import android.animation.ObjectAnimator;
import android.os.Build;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewAnimationUtils;
import android.view.animation.LinearInterpolator;

public class AnimationUtils {

    public static Animator createCircularReveal(View view, int centerX, int centerY, float startRadius, float endRadius) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) return ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(view, centerX, centerY, startRadius, endRadius);
        else return io.codetail.animation.ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(view, centerX, centerY, startRadius, endRadius);
    }

    public static Animator createHideAnimation(View view) {
        ObjectAnimator hideAnim = new ObjectAnimator();
        hideAnim.setPropertyName("alpha");
        hideAnim.setFloatValues(1.0F, 0.0F);
        hideAnim.setDuration(300);
        hideAnim.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
        hideAnim.setTarget(view);
        return hideAnim;
    }

}

Note: Don't tell me to use ItemTouchHelper instead as that is not the subject of my question and it doesn't solve the problem either.

A: I just figured out the problem. It was simple but hard to notice. When I was applying the hide animator it was setting alpha permanently to 0, which meant the view would never appear again. I only had to use view.setAlpha(1.0F); directly after calling view.setVisiblity(View.INVISIBLE);.

"It's very easy to take a low-calorie beverage and make it incredibly unhealthy by adding tons of sugar or honey," Freeman said. "If you go to parts of the South – the stroke belt, so to speak – they actually have a surprising amount of 'superfoods' in their diet, but they also have some of the highest rates of heart disease. Why is that?
"When you adulterate those foods, for instance making sweet tea from regular tea, it ends up with a lot more adverse cardiac outcomes."
While temperature also may seem to be a matter of individual preference, cooler tea may prove to be a healthier choice.
"Some studies found that drinking very hot tea – 140 degrees Fahrenheit or higher – was associated with a high risk of esophageal and/or gastric cancer," said Dr. Xiang Gao, director of the Nutritional Epidemiology Lab at Pennsylvania State University. "So, if you drink tea, do not drink the tea that is too hot."
Though experts say tea is a safe, natural beverage that is a better choice than processed, sweetened beverages, there can be negative side effects if a person consumes too much.
For example, drinking too much tea could lead to an iron deficiency because tea is rich in tannins, which can bind to iron and keep it from being absorbed in the digestive tract. Tea drinkers also face the same caffeine-related dangers that coffee drinkers face; too much can cause anxiety, restlessness or trouble sleeping.
Still, tea makes for a healthier beverage choice than juice or soda, provided it's in its natural form with no added ingredients.
"If you go to your local coffee shop and you order a pink dragonfruit yada yada yada, those are loaded with sugar," Freeman said. "They're really delicious, and you see people drinking them, and they think they're healthy because they contain exotic fruits, but they're mostly sugar. It is possible to go to a coffee shop and get plain (unsweetened) coffee, plain (unsweetened) tea – or plain green tea for that matter – but you have to really be careful what you're consuming."

Musings of a Java EE developer
Java EE Survey 2018
At OmniFaces we poll the community from time to time about Java EE and related technologies. With all the changes that are about to happen with the move of Java EE to Eclipse and the subsequent renaming to Jakarta EE, we expanded the survey a little for this year.
In the 2018 edition, there are 4 categories of questions:
Current usage of Java EE
Servlet containers
APIs related to Java EE
The future of Java EE / Jakarta EE
Jakarta EE provides the opportunity to revitalise and modernise Java EE, but in order to do that it's more important than ever that we know what matters to all of its users out there.
So therefor we'd like to invite all Java EE users to participate in The Java EE Survey 2018 Update: Survey now closed

This pretty much applies to every job profile. Dissatisfaction , politics and people expecting you to know and do everything . I believe job positions that are extremely close to business side of things will be more rewarding . Decisions you take and mistakes you make must have the shortest path to revenue impacts , That is a place where you will be respected.

JSF 2.3 released!
After a long and at times intense spec and development process the JSF 2.3 EG is proud to announce that today we've released JSF 2.3. JSF (JavaServer Faces), is a component based MVC framework that's part of Java EE. JSF 2.3 in particular is part of Java EE 8. Major new features in JSF 2.3 are a tighter integration with CDI, support for WebSockets, a really cool component search expression framework (donated by PrimeFaces), basic support for extensionless URLs, and class level bean validation. The age old native managed beans of JSF 2.3 have finally been deprecated (although they are still available for now) in favour of CDI. It's expected that these will be fully removed (pruned) in a future release. The JSF 2.3 EG would like to thank everyone who contributed to JSF in whatever way, by creating bug reports, testing builds, providing comments and insights on the mailinglist and contributing code. Without those community contributions JSF 2.3 would not have been poss…
Dynamic beans in CDI 2.0
A while ago we wrote about CDIs ability to dynamically add Bean<T> instances to the CDI runtime. A Bean<T> is a kind of factory for beans, that makes types available for injection, lookup via the bean manager, or by referencing them in expression language. CDI producers (via the @Produces annotation) fulfil a somewhat similar role, but they essentially only make the "create instance" method dynamic; the rest (like scope, types, etc) is more or less static. A programmatically added Bean<T> essentially makes all those aspects dynamic. As the previous article showed, dynamically adding such Bean<T> is a bit more work and it's quite verbose, as well as a little complex as the developer has to find out what to return as a default for various methods that are not directly of interest. CDI 2.0 has addressed some of the above issues by providing a very convenient builder that not only makes creating a Bean<T> instance far less verbose, but als…
Should the community take over JSF.next or not?
JSF aka JavaServer Faces is a component based MVC framework that's part of Java EE and is one of the oldest Java MVC frameworks that's still supported and actively used (version 1.0 was released in 2004). Over time, Java EE itself has grown considerably and as such the resources required to maintain and evolve Java EE have grown as well. Now Oracle has indicated at several occasions that it just doesn't have the resources required for this, and for most constituent specs of Java EE it can do at most small updates, but in other cases can't do any updates at all. In order to lessen this immense burden on Oracle somewhat, the community has largely taken over for JSF 2.3 and Java EE Security API 1.0. The following graph (taken from a presentation by JSF spec lead Ed Burns) gives an indication: The question is how to continue for JSF.next? Since the community has largely taken over JSF already, should this perhaps be made more formal by actually letting the communit…

I clipped this recipe from the Detroit Free Press just a couple of weeks ago. The Freep adapted it from Food: Vegetarian Home Cooking by Mary McCarney. I don't usually rerun recipes so quickly. To tell the truth I don't even usually try them so quickly! But I liked this one so much I wanted to share it with you.
It's a bit of a bother to make, but it would be a great dish to serve to vegetarian guests because it looks so fancy. Eggplant is nice and meaty, so this dish should appeal to carnivores too. Each wrap has only 95 calories, 7 grams of fat, 5 grams of carbs, 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.
You can assemble the wraps ahead of time and heat them up just before serving. Half the original recipe (the amounts I give below) made eight wraps, so we had them for two meals, and they reheated nicely.
The Free Press suggests using a serrated knife to cut the eggplant.
I will give you the recipe almost as it was in the Freep, except that I've halved the amounts — except for the oil. I found I needed at least as much oil as originally called for even though I was making half the recipe. But I'll also tell you the changes I made and provide a few other suggestions for variations.
I didn't have any marinated sun-dried tomatoes, only dried ones, so about a half-hour before I started cooking, I covered the dried tomatoes with olive oil to marinate. After I took the tomatoes out, I used the oil (with some added) for the recipe.
For the mixed herbs, I used minced garlic, basil and parsley.
I didn't have fresh spinach, but my garden was producing lots of chard and kale, so I used a mixture of those.
Most importantly, after I had fried the eggplant slices, some were not really flexible enough to bend into wraps (perhaps I sliced the eggplant a little too thickly?). So I popped them into the microwave in a single layer for 30 seconds and they became perfectly pliable.
Use thinly sliced or diced fresh tomato instead of sun-dried. Drain as much juice from them as you can before adding to the wraps.
Use goat cheese or feta instead of cheddar.
Use slivered almonds instead of pine nuts.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a sided baking sheet with olive oil spray or use a nonstick baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the herbs and oil. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, lightly brush each slice of eggplant on one side with the oil mixture and place in the hot pan. Fry until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Brush the top side lightly with oil and flip to fry that side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside the slices until all are cooked.
Wash the spinach well in cold running water, spin dry and then heat in a large skillet to wilt, using just the water that is clinging to the leaves. Drain off the excess liquid.
Assemble the wraps: Take one slice of cooked eggplant and place a little of the wilted spinach on one half. Then place a few pieces of sun-dried tomato on top, sprinkle with a few toasted pine nuts, and top with a slice of cheddar.
Fold the eggplant over to form the wrap and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices. Sprinkle each with sea salt and fresh black pepper.
Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbling. Serve immediately.
I first encountered this salad at a potluck. Everyone was raving about it, but I didn't eat it because it included bacon. But I looked for a recipe online, figuring I could substitute soy baco bits.
I found this one on a site called BellaOnline and altered it a bit. The original recipe calls for 4 slices of bacon, which we obviously don't use in a kosher kitchen. It also called for mozzarella cheese, which I found rather tasteless, so I substituted cheddar. And I use about half the amount of dressing called for in the original, which is plenty (my quantities are what I list here).
If you're concerned about the sugar, you can substitute Splenda, which I have done with no ill effect on the taste.
Finely chop the broccoli, onion and hard-boiled egg. If you use a food processor for this (a good idea), do the vegetables first and add the egg at the end for a few pulses.
Mix in the cheese and "bacon" bits.


Andriy Shymonyak is an accomplished NC State history and political science double major. The Park Scholar and University Honors Program member has earned several awards and scholarships – including being named a finalist for the prestigious Harry S. Truman Scholarship.
Through his deep exploration of Ukrainian politics, history, and how they relate to eastern and central Europe, he has also built an impressive resume as an undergraduate, both here and abroad.
His studies have taken him overseas on several occasions, including to Poland, and a trip to Ukraine in the midst of the political upheaval in 2014. And while his specific line of research has fluctuated, it's largely related back to Ukrainian national identity, he said.
Part of those research curiosities stem from a connection he shares with the area. He was born in Ukraine before his family moved to the United States when he was five years old. After starting at NC State on a path toward a business degree, he shifted his interest toward political science and history after taking an introductory course in international relations.
"The topics that were being addressed in that class were things I wanted to ask about and think about," Shymonyak said.
SPIA professor Mark Nance said Shymonyak's questions about national identity are vital, as they revolve around an issue that's often contentious in that region. Nance, who taught Shymonyak in an introductory course in European politics, said helping students narrow their research interests is something he and other faculty do fairly often.
Professors at NC State are extremely willing and enthusiastic about working with students, he said, especially those who challenge themselves.
In addition to all his academic interests, Shymonyak took part in campus activities, including serving as Dean for a Day, when he switched places with Humanities and Social Sciences Dean Jeff Braden.
After earning his bachelor's degree, Shymonyak wants to continue studying European history overseas in graduate school. Looking back at his time at NC State, he said he's appreciative of the support he received throughout his undergraduate career — from Humanities and Social Sciences faculty to alumni, the Honors Program, Park Scholarships and the Fellowship Advising Office.

The Fog battleships Haruna and Kirishima have been destroyed through the combined efforts of the I-401 and the Japanese government's "White Whale" sub, and the port of Yokosuka is safe-but the same can't be said for the I-401. While still damaged from the battle, the 401 comes face to face with a Fog submarine that Iona doesn't recognize, and it's not exactly friendly!
Back on land, Haruna, the mental model of the destroyed ship, is found by Osakabe Makie. The mental model and the precocious human child strike up an unlikely friendship, and Haruna learns that there's far more to Makie than meets the eye.

Athletics Rules and Equipment
Athletics - Field
The aim is for the competitor to throw the discus as far as possible using the correct technique.
They must stand within the marked circle, spin one and a half times to build up speed and then release the discus.
The competitor must remain in the circle until the discus has landed.
The throw is measured from the circle to the landing place.
The discus is a wooden plate with a metal rim around the circumference. Each side is flat and smooth in the shape of a circular disk.
Women use a 1kg discus with a diameter of about 18cm.
Men use a 2kg discus with a diameter of about 21cm.
The throwing circle is 2.5 metres.
Similar to Discus, a hammer thrower aims to throw the hammer further than any of their competitors.
The competitor uses two hands to swing the hammer around themselves, building up momentum before releasing it into the field.
Competitors are not permitted to step outside of the throwing circle until the hammer has landed. Each competitor has three attempts with the best effort counting towards their score.
The hammer consists of three parts – head, wire and the grip. The head is a metal ball not unlike a shot put. The wire is between 116 and 121.5 cm in length depending on whether it's the women's or men's event.
Hammer throwers usually wear gloves to protect their hands from the metal and wire and to assist with grip.
The throwing circle is 2.135 metres.
The main aim of Shot Put is to throw the shot put as far as possible.
The correct technique involves the athlete resting the shot put against their neck and using all their strength to project the shot put into the field.
Some competitors gain momentum by spinning around in the throwing circle prior to release.
The competitor is not permitted to leave the throwing circle until the shot put has landed.
The throw is measured from the throwing circle to the landing place.
Each competitor has three attempts and the furthest shot is the winner.
The shot put is a round metal ball with a smooth, shiny surface. It varies in weight between 4kg for women's events and 7.257kg for men's events.
Athletes sprint down a long runway and at the white line, jump into a sand pit. The aim is to jump as far as possible - the winner will be the athlete that can jump the greatest distance.
The distance is calculated from the end of the runway to the nearest landing point measurement.
The athlete will be disqualified if they step over the white line when jumping.
There are six rounds in this event. The final three rounds are the finals, where only the top eight athletes compete.
The runway is made of the same material as running tracks, with a white line at the end marking the point where the athlete should jump. A layer of plasticine is fitted just past the white line to indicate whether the athlete's foot went over the line at take-off.
The landing pit is generally filled with sand to cushion the impact.
The athlete sprints along a runway until they reach the white line indicating the point where they should hop, step and then jump.
On the hop, they must land on the same foot used for take-off, then on the opposite foot on the landing of the step and finally with both feet on the landing of the jump.
There are six rounds in this event, the final three being the finals. The top eight competitors are permitted three attempts with their best attempt counting toward their score. The athlete to jump the furthest wins.
The runway is made of the same material as the running track with a marking at the end to indicate the jumping point.
The landing pit is generally filled with sand.
The aim is to jump over the highest bar. At the beginning of competition the bar is set to a low height. As the competition progresses, the bar is raised until only one successful competitor remains. The athlete who can jump over the highest bar is deemed the winner.
An athlete will be disqualified if they do not successfully jump the bar or if they cause the bar to be knocked down three consecutive times.
If two athletes succeed in jumping the maximum height, then the winner will be the athlete with the least number of unsuccessful jumps.
Athletes are permitted to touch the bar as they jump over it as long as the bar does not get knocked down.
The bar is generally made of fibreglass or aluminium. It is 4 metres long and sits on two side poles of no specific height.
Ideally shoes for high jumpers should have a thick sole to aid support, and spikes in the heel to assist with grip at take-off.
A foam mat is positioned to cushion the athletes fall.
A similar sport to High Jump, the main difference is the use of a bar to lift the athlete into the air. The aim is to sprint to the bar and successfully jump over it using the pole to lift into the air.
During the sprint, the athlete must hold the pole at shoulder height with the end pointing in the direction they are running. The pole is inserted into a box at the base of the bar and the athlete pushes upwards.
The pole must be released at the height of the jump.
Each athlete has three attempts to successfully jump over the bar.
The bar is moved higher when an athlete has successfully jumped each height.
An athlete is disqualified if they fail to successfully clear the bar in three consecutive jumps.
The winner is the athlete who can successfully jump the highest bar.
Athletes sprint down a runway holding a spear-shaped javelin. When they reach the throwing circle scratch line they are to throw the javelin as far as they can.
Athletes are not permitted to touch or step over the scratch line.
The throw is measured from the scratch line to the landing point.
Each athlete is given three attempts, with their best throw counting toward their score.
The athlete throwing the greatest distance is the winner.
The runway is made from the same materials as the running track and is 36.5 metres long. There is a scratch line at the end marking the point the athletes cannot touch or cross.
Athletics - Track
Sprint events are usually held over 100m, 200m and 400m distances. Athletes use a starting block to assist with the initial take-off.
The starter will call "on your mark", "set" and then fire the starting gun to indicate the beginning of the race.
Competitors must remain in their lanes throughout the race.
Four runners are required for each team in a relay. Each competitor runs a quarter of the track carrying the baton before passing it to the next competitor.
The baton exchange between competitors must take place within the specified 'changeover box'. If the baton is dropped at the changeover, only the competitor who dropped it is permitted to pick it up.
The steeplechase is a race over 7 laps. The athlete is required to overcome obstacles during the race including 25 hurdles and 7 water jumps.
Competitors must sprint along the track (either 100m, 110m or 400m) overcoming hurdles along the way.
The competitor's front foot must touch the ground before the other lifts off the ground.
For a brief moment both feet appear to be in contact with the ground simultaneously. It should never appear as though the walker has left the ground. Failure to comply with this rule is known as 'lifting'. If a competitor is in danger of 'lifting', they will be given a warning.
The front leg must be straight immediately after touching the ground.
A breach of the rules will result in a warning by the judges. Two warnings will result in disqualification.
The aim is to make it across the finish line before the other competitors.
There are no set starting positions. Competitors randomly take up a position at the starting line.
The sound of the starter's gun indicates the beginning of the race. Should a competitor begin before the gun has been sounded, they will receive a warning. If it happens twice, the competitor will be disqualified.
Competitors are permitted to leave the course during the race for toilet breaks; however they must be supervised by a judge. Should a competitor leave the course without supervision, they will be disqualified.

Most nosebleeds aren't serious and will stop on their own or by following self-care steps.
Don't drive yourself to an emergency room if you're losing a lot of blood. Call 911 or your local emergency number or have someone drive you.
Talk to your health care provider if you're having frequent nosebleeds, even if you can stop them fairly easily. It's important to determine the cause of frequent nosebleeds.
Sit upright and lean forward.
By remaining upright, you reduce blood pressure in the veins of your nose. This discourages further bleeding. Sitting forward will help you avoid swallowing blood, which can irritate your stomach.
Use your thumb and index finger to pinch both nostrils shut, even if only one side is bleeding. Breathe through your mouth. Continue to pinch for five to 10 minutes. This maneuver puts pressure on the bleeding point on the nasal septum and often stops the flow of blood.
If the bleeding doesn't stop, repeat these steps for up to a total of 15 minutes.
After the bleeding has stopped, to keep it from starting again, don't pick or blow your nose and don't bend down for several hours. Keep your head higher than the level of your heart.
Keeping the lining of the nose moist.
Especially during colder months when air is dry, apply a thin, light coating of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or antibiotic ointment (bacitracin, Neosporin) with a cotton swab three times a day. Saline nasal spray also can help moisten dry nasal membranes.
Keeping fingernails short helps discourage nose picking.
A humidifier will counteract the effects of dry air by adding moisture to the air.


Use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey or rotisserie chicken in these quick, easy, and delicious individual pot pies. Top each pie with a round of refrigerated biscuit dough, which bake up rich and flaky and golden. If you don't have any leftover chicken you can just cook up a couple boneless skinless chicken breasts for an equally tasty dish.
These little pot pies are complete meals in themselves, with fresh vegetables and chicken or turkey in a creamy gravy. When we make this recipe for dinner everyone cleans their plate!
Feel free to adapt this recipe to whatever you happen to have on hand—other vegetables you can use include broccoli, cubed new potatoes, and sliced mushrooms. Dried herbs may be substituted for fresh—use half the amount indicated in the recipe.
If you don't have ramekins, you can make one large pot pie in a casserole dish and layer the biscuits over the top; cooking time may vary from that indicated.
Preheat your oven to 350º. Heat olive oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add onions, carrot, and celery. Reduce heat to medium and sauté vegetables until soft, about 10 minutes. Add chopped rosemary and sage and cook for another minute, then sprinkle in flour and stir to combine with vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Slowly pout in chicken broth and stir until smooth, making sure that flour is incorporated. Bring to a boil—mixture will start to thicken. Add half-and-half and stir until smooth, then add peas, green beans, parsley, and Dijon mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to low and let cook until vegetables are tender. Stir in cooked chicken or turkey and cook until just heated through.
Ladle mixture into individual ovenproof ramekins, taking care to not overfill.
Separate biscuits and roll each one out on a floured surface so its slightly larger than the diameter of a ramekin. Place biscuit round on top of each ramekin. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with some water to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the top of each pot pie with the egg wash.
Put pot pies on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Let the pies cool for at least 10 minutes before serving, especially if you're serving them to your kids—the filling can get really hot. Makes 4–6 pot pies, depending on the size of your ramekins.


I present a comprehensive study of the role of strong magnetic fields in characterizing the structure of molecular clouds. We run three-dimensional turbulent non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations (with ambipolar diffusion) to see the effect of magnetic fields on the evolution of the column density probability distribution function (PDF). Our results indicate a systematic dependence of the column density PDF of molecular clouds on magnetic field strength and turbulence, with observationally distinguishable outcomes between supercritical (gravity dominated) and subcritical (magnetic field dominated) initial conditions. We find that most cases develop a direct power-law PDF, and only the subcritical clouds with turbulence are able to maintain a lognormal body of the PDF but with a power-law tail at high values. I also present a scenario for the formation of oscillatory quasi-equilibrium magnetic ribbons in turbulent subcritical molecular clouds. The synthetic observed relation between apparent width in projection versus observed column density is relatively flat, similar to observations of molecular cloud filaments, and unlike the simple expectation based on a Jeans length argument. Additionally, I develop a "core field structure" (CFS) method which requires spatially resolved observations of the nonthermal velocity dispersion from the Green Bank Ammonia survey (GAS) of the L1688 region of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud along with the column density map to determine magnetic field strength profile across dense cores. By applying the CFS method we find that for most cores in Ophiuchus, the mass-to-flux ratio is decreasing radially outward.

Teamwork: that's the ticket to hatching patient-centered design
November 13, 2019 Joule Inc.
1-2-3-4-5…many expectant mothers are asked to monitor their baby's movements by counting at least 10 kicks, flutters, swishes or rolls within 2 hours daily. This standard guideline for counting fetal movements is time consuming, and given every pregnancy is unique, it can be inaccurate.
On this episode of Boldly, Tamara Mason speaks with Jordan Lewis. She is a medical student at the University of Toronto, Joule Innovation grant recipient and co-founder of Flutter Wear. Flutter Wear―designed specifically for expectant mothers―combines a mobile app with a belly band sensor to passively detect fetal movements and move away from manual "kick counting".
Lewis shares the story behind Flutter Wear from her original idea to flying to Hatching Health to find a team and how she hopes to continue developing the tool to support expectant mothers.
Listen to learn why Lewis created a device for patient empowerment, and how she involved patients along the way to make sure that happens.
tweetable: "Having the opportunity to learn more about the clinical piece during medical school has been really eye opening for me. It's really exciting."
Where did Lewis' interest in the health of expectant mothers begin?
She has a background in reproductive and developmental biology through postgraduate studies.
She's learning more about the clinical piece in medical school, which has been exciting.
tweetable: "I felt if we [the med students] were confused, I was almost certain that there were many pregnant women out there who were as well."
Where did the idea for Flutter Wear come from?
Her second year in the OB unit, she learned about kick counting from a concerned expectant mother.
Her class also learned about kick counting as the gold standard guideline for monitoring fetal activity and she was surprised about their simplicity.
The guideline left many women feeling confused and anxious about whether or not their babies were kicking a "healthy" amount.
If other med students she knew were confused about the guidelines, she was sure expectant mothers were too.
tweetable: "We wanted to address this subjectivity, this onus that's on the patient's themselves, and try and make that a little bit easier and less of a burden on them."
How did Lewis begin to address these gaps?
Given they were unrealistic for certain women, she got started with the guidelines and its' weaknesses.
Since the onus is on the patients to count, she knew she wanted to make it easier for them with whatever she created.
tweetable: "When it comes to providing meaningful health care delivery, especially in the context of innovation, I think patient feedback and patient empowerment is a really critical piece that often gets overlooked."
How is Flutter Wear looking to disrupt in this space?
They incorporate current technologies into their own wearable technology: a belly band to help expectant mothers passively detect movements.
They contextualize this data with that person's specific pregnancy into a mobile app.
This helps prompt personalized tips to each expectant mother's pregnancy.
They also provide these patients resources and alert them if they need to seek medical attention.
tweetable: "Something we really appreciate as a core value of our company is patient-centered care and contextualized user centric functionality"
What was it like getting feedback from patients on this project?
Patient empowerment is a critical piece that often gets overlooked.
By posting a user feedback survey in a Facebook group comprised of 80,000 women all over the world, they were able to gain valuable qualitative feedback.
One specific guideline won't necessarily capture the specific experiences each expectant mother might have.
tweetable: "When we meet, and we get to hear each other's ideas and get each other's perspectives, it really makes for a really good team."
What's it like being a medical student and the Chief Medical Officer of Flutter Wear?
Being CMO, Lewis recognizes the importance she has and continues to have that patient contact.
Working alongside the other members of the Flutter Wear team is a highlight.
tweetable: "There's lots to look forward to, something about being an early stage innovation is there's always a big hill to climb with respect to getting our device out there."
What's the big vision for Flutter Wear?
The goal is to create a pregnancy companion.
Help women get in touch with themselves, their body and their baby throughout pregnancy.
Based on the feedback, they're also looking to foster a sense of community through shared experiences.

"In 1995, I was predicting that Titanic had another 30 years," Mann said. "But I think it's deteriorating much faster than that now. Perhaps if we get another 15 to 20 years out of it, we're doing good ... eventually there will be nothing left but a rust stain."
The wreck is covered with rusticles; the knob-like mounds have formed from at least 27 strains of bacteria, including Halomonas titanicae.
Rusticles are porous and allow water to pass through; they are rather delicate and will eventually disintegrate into fine powder. "It's a natural process, recycling the iron and returning it to nature," Mann said.
For decades following the ship's sinking in 1912, the Titanic's final resting spot remained a mystery. Discovered by a joint American-French expedition in 1985, the wreck is located a little more than 2 miles (3.8 kilometers) below the ocean surface and some 329 miles (530 km) southeast of Newfoundland, Canada.
In the 25 years since the discovery of the wreck, the Titanic has rapidly deteriorated.
While the disintegration of the Titanic makes preservation of the ship impossible, the bacteria doing the damage may be useful in accelerating the disposal of other old ships and oil rigs. Further, it could also help scientists develop paints or protective coatings to guard against the bacteria for working vessels.
While the loss of the wreck over time concerns Dan Conlin, curator of maritime history at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, he notes scientists know much more about the Titanic than most shipwrecks.
"What is fascinating to me is that we tend to have this idea that these wrecks are time capsules frozen in time, when in fact there all kinds of complex ecosystems feeding off them, even at the bottom of that great dark ocean," Conlin said.
The researcher's findings will be published Dec. 8 in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.

This isn't the post I thought I was going to write for Part 3 last week, but it occurred to me that I could reasonably TDD FizzBuzz with Approval Tests too, so here goes.
Approval Testing is basically the application of Golden Master Testing to in-development rather than legacy code. You really don't need any test infrastructure to do this, but as I wrote some, we're going to use it!
Okey-doke is a library that integrates with JUnit via a Rule.
The nature of Approval Testing is that we just write code and approve its output if it meets our expectations. So let's add a test using the approver and see what happens.
Nothing can happen until the code compiles, and approvals testing is all about moving fast, so let's just add an implementation that covers most cases.
Do we want to approve? Well, the output of 1 is right for the case we've considered, so let's copy the actual to the approved file as suggested and run the tests again. This time they pass as they are the same. We could add the FizzBuzzApprovalsTests.test.approved to version control as it is effectively part of our test sources.
but it is what we want to we approve it, and run the tests again just to make sure they pass now.
Now instead of writing another test we can just add to our implementation.
Hmmm, it's getting difficult to see what's going on there, as the expected and actual are out of sync on the line. As this is deliberate practice, I'm going to stash the production change and fix the output format first.
which is going to let us make a lot more sense of the results. So we approve, and then write more production code.
and we run the tests, which pass. A quick check-in, and we're home in time for tea and medals.
which we approve and then amend commit. I think we got away with it.
Once you're in the flow with Approval tests they can be very productive, especially when you don't need the help of writing a test to work out what the next step is. I suppose we're skipping the test driving and going straight to the proof-against-regression bit of testing. They are also splendid for getting existing code without tests under test quickly and cheaply, although I suppose that is just Golden Master Testing.
The main downside is that we can't look directly in the test to see examples of what the code does - we have to look in the approved file. Those examples may also fail to be good documentation to allow us to understand what the code does - in this case they'd do for another programmer, but not for an 8 year-old. Or maybe vice-versa, I'm often wrong.
One application where they really do shine is where we are incrementally improving an algorithm and stopping when it is good enough. This time last year I was parsing a list of strings into first name, given name, title etc. Given a corpus of 2000 names I could approve each improvement and know when a change had led to better or worse results very quickly. Example-based tests would have become unwieldy very quickly in comparison. They can be also be a cheap warning when other things have changed too - I once wrote an Approval Test for the contents of our deployed lib directory so that we didn't accidentally upgrade dependencies when making changes to the unfathomable Maven build.
I still think that there's another post to come in this series. I'll let you know on Twitter when it arrives.


C-section Surgeon NJ. Dr. Capuano is a c-section surgeon in NJ. New Jersey C-section Surgeon.
Your OBGYN will make the usual incision and perform the delivery of your child. He/she will repair your uterus and close your abdominal muscle fascia. Once that is closed, c-section surgeon Dr. Capuano will take over, and perform a plastics closure of your skin and subcutaneous fascia in layers. The advantage of a c-section plastic surgeon creating the closure is that this technique places the tension of the c-section closure on the fascia beneath the skin, which reduces tension on the skin itself. Because the skin is made primarily of collagen and elastin, offsetting this tension reduces the tendency for the c-section scar to spread vertically, creating a fine line closure that is minimally visible. If you are not planning on having any additional children, it is also possible for c-section surgeon Dr. Capuano, to excise some of your stretched skin to further tighten your abdomen.
The best candidates for C-section closures by plastic surgeon, Dr. Capuano, are healthy mothers, who are non-smokers and who would like their c-section scar to be as inconspicuous as possible. Mothers who have a history of prominent scar formation or keloid formation may also benefit from a c-section surgeon nj.
How long does c-section surgery take?
The procedure with c-section surgeon NJ, Dr. Capuano, takes between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the patient's anatomy, and is typically performed in the hospital under spinal or epidural anesthesia. A four night stay in the hospital is customary following a procedure by c-section surgeon NJ, Dr. Capuano.
What is the expected recovery time for a c-section?
Full c-section recovery occurs 6 months to a year after your procedure with c-section surgeon in New Jersey, Dr. Capuano. Most c-section patients are able to lift their baby immediately following c-section surgery, and can participate in light exercise by 2 weeks. In order return to strenuous activity or lifting over 10 lbs, you should wait 6 weeks after your procedure with c-section surgeon NJ, Dr. Capuano.
What are the common side effects of a c-section?
After your procedure with c-section surgeon NJ, Dr. Capuano, redness, swelling, temporary pain, numbness of the abdominal skin, bruising, and fatigue (which may last several months). After your c-section you may also have changes in the shape or location of the umbilicus.
What are the surgical risks of a procedure with c-section surgeon NJ, Dr. Capuano?
C-section risks include bleeding, infection, hematoma, seroma, changes in skin sensation, scarring, damage to underlying structures, contour deformity at lateral wound margins, and possibly unsatisfactory c-section results requiring additional procedures by c-section surgeon NJ, Dr. Capuano.
Dr. Capuano consistently achieves c-section excellence with C-section closures. He is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon located in New Jersey, and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He would be happy to discuss your c-section options if you are thinking about a having your C-section incision closed by a c-section plastic surgeon located in NJ.

For the first time in the show's history, a transgender bride will get to Say Yes to the Dress. The TLC guilty pleasure,* Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta* just hosted its very first transgender woman at its famous Georgia bridal showroom. Precious Davis, a motivational speaker from Indiana, stopped by the luxurious salon to find her dream wedding dress for her upcoming summer nuptials — and inspire some viewers, while she's at it!
"It's such a moment in time, to be able to share our love story in this moment of trans-visibility, resilience and equality," Davis told Entertainment Tonight of her monumental appearance on the show. "Our love story challenges people to step outside that stereotypical notion."
Davis and her fiancé, a transgender man named Myles Brady, are slated to tie the knot in an opulent Chicago ceremony this summer. "This is a moment for people to see that trans is beautiful and that we have hopes and dreams just like everyone else," the bride-to-be explained.
And just like any other bride who's ever walked into a bridal boutique, Davis hoped to say those three little letters to the gown of her dreams! "I grew up as a gender non-conforming child, always playing with dolls and being a diva and loving Whitney Houston and tying blankets around my waist, belting out 'I Will Always Love You' and envisioning myself as beautiful," shared Davis. "So, all my life I've had a vision of what my wedding and dress would be like."
And just what was that bridal vision? "I went into it thinking I wanted a dress that was sweetheart cut, and a mermaid cut at the bottom. But I ultimately went in there and said I wanted something grand. I want something opulent," Davis told Us Weekly. This bride-to-be ended up saying "yes" to a custom Lazaro ball gown. Totally swoon-worthy! "I was trying not to full-on ugly cry," she said. "I remember standing there closing my eyes thinking, Don't fully break down. Still be pretty." Trust us — we know the feeling!
Despite finding a gorgeous gown to walk down the aisle in, Davis ultimately wanted to make a statement to viewers watching the TLC "BrideDay/Friday" staple. "I hope that they will see two human beings in love, and that love doesn't come in the package that we think it does."

X-Ray Analysis: Ulsan Hyundai [Part Two]
Michael Booroff June 20, 2021 read ( words)
As the K League 1 goes into a month and a half long break for World Cup qualifiers and the AFC Champions League, Ulsan find themselves top of the table. Before they have a chance to consolidate that position and aim to win their first league title since 2005, they have the small matter of attempting to retain their AFC Champions League title. In order to do this, they'll need to replace the goals of Junior Negrao, including the two goals scored in the final against Persepolis. In the second part of this article, we cover in depth the attacking line, and how Ulsan and some of their new recruits have attempted to do this.
If you missed Part One of this analysis it can be seen here.
Integral to Ulsan's offense is the role of their wingers. They are dynamic and incisive, whilst usually positioned open and wide to control the team's depth and create the space for the midfield to play box to box. In addition, they have a lot of depth in the position, with multiple options having varied characteristics. Hong Myung-bo usually selects different wingers for every match which makes it hard for the opponent team to prepare when facing Ulsan.
The main options at left-wing consist of Kim In-sung and Vako. These players have really different characteristics and Ulsan's play changes considerably based on who is deployed as the left-winger. Kim In-sung positions himself open and wide. He is incisive and likes to dribble against the opponent's right back to create advantages, which can be seen in the left part of Fig 9. Vako, on the other hand, and as mentioned before, likes to position himself in the left half-space. He does not have the characteristics to attack open and wide. Usually, when he is deployed as the left-winger, another midfielder or the left-back will occupy the wide space while attacking.
Fig. 9 - Kim In-sung positions himself open and wide before dribbling the right back in the game against FC Seoul (Upper Picture). Vako usually plays positioned in the half space on the left part of the field as in the game against Gwangju (Lower Picture).
To the right-wing, Ulsan have Lee Dong-jun and Lee Chung-yong. In order to fit both into the line-up, sometimes Lee Dong-jun can be deployed as a striker with Lee Chung-yong as the right-winger. When playing as a winger, Lee Dong-jun is a dangerous threat playing wide. His speed and dribbling skills create advantages to Ulsan in almost any interaction in which he is involved in. This positioning can be seen against Jeonbuk in the left part of Fig. 10.
The other option on the right-wing is veteran winger Lee Chung-yong. Ulsan's captain adds experience and is a complete player that plays both wide and also moves to the half-space and attacks the box. In the right part of Fig. 10, Lee Chung-yong is shown (versus Pohang Steelers) taking up a wide position on the right with the ability to cross into the box. However, he has missed games in the last few rounds due to injury. In this case, under-22 Kim Min-jun has stepped up as another versatile wide option, able to play either as the left or right-winger. The performance of Kim Min-jun and the other under-22 options for Ulsan will be analyzed further later in this article.
Fig. 10 - Lee Dong-jun gives the option to receive a pass playing as the right-winger in the game against Jeonbuk (Upper Image). Lee Chung-yong playing as the right-winger prepared to cross in the game against Pohang (Lower Image).
Strikers: Kim Ji-hyeon vs Lukas Hinterseer
Ulsan had one of the most prolific striking duos in the 2020 season. Junior and Bjorn Johnsen combined for 31 goals during the K League 1 season, with Junior responsible for 26 of them. That tally was enough to win him the league's golden boot award. With both strikers departing during the offseason Ulsan had to look for replacements during the winter transfer window. This eventually led them to signing Kim Ji-hyeon from Gangwon FC and the Austrian International, Lukas Hinterseer from Hamburg SV.
With the big pressure to replace Junior and Bjorn Johnsen, it has not been an easy start for them. The role both of these strikers have played has varied based on their own qualities, and both have been important to how Ulsan progress the ball into the attacking third, as well as their ability to link and combine play with the midfielders and wingers around them.
Kim Ji-hyeon's playing style can be interpreted more as playing in the 'Giroud' role when starting this season. While Kim Ji-hyeon is less relied upon to score goals for the team (he's only netted once this season in his 12 appearances), his role could be viewed more for his capacity to drop off of the defensive line in order to receive the ball and combine with advanced players. For example, in the Bluewings game in the 10th round, Kim Ji-hyeon would take up positions where you might expect a striker to make a penetrating run to break the defensive line. Instead, he would check back to use the available space in front of the defensive line to receive the ball as shown in Fig. 11. He positions himself in the centre backs blindside, before moving in front in between the lines to receive and create combination opportunities.
Fig. 11 - Kim Ji-hyeon moving back to receive the ball and combine with the wingers and midfielders.
Then, minutes later in the same game, when the ball is in a wide position you'd expect a striker to advance into the box to receive a cross. Instead, Kim checks back to receive the ball to feet in the space in front of the defensive line (Fig. 12). This is probably the biggest difference between Kim Ji-hyeon when compared with Hinterseer playing in the number 9 role. With Kim Ji-hyeon being a player that looks to position so that he can bring others into play, Lukas Hinterseer is more varied in his movements depending on where the ball is located.
Fig. 12 - Kim Ji-hyeon checks back to receive the ball in front of the defensive line opposed to attacking the box to receive a cross.
Hinterseer has found it more difficult to break into the team since his arrival. So far this season, he has only managed seven starts, and featured in 12 of Ulsan's 18 league games. While there is a level of acclimatisation to a new league and to a completely different culture, some have attributed his slow start to his dietary requirements, with Hinterseer being a vegan. Dietary requirements apart, there always exists an additional pressure when you replace a striker like Junior Negrao that scored 84 goals during his three seasons in Ulsan.
Hinterseer, similarly to Kim Ji-hyeon, in specific situations will move back to receive and combine with his fellow attacking teammates. An example is shown in Fig. 13 in the game against Gwangju (13th round). While he is not the intended receiver from Dave Bulthuis' pass, his position off the opposition defensive line allows him to receive before combining with Yoon Bit-garam who has made a movement beyond the ball into the box to receive the pass.
Fig. 13 - Hinterseer receives the ball while positioned back from the box to combine with Yoon Bit-Garam.
What separates Hinterseer from Kim Ji-hyeon is that while he will drop deeper to receive the ball, This is primarily only done when the ball is in central areas. When the ball has been moved into wide areas, Hinterseer looks to make vertical movements into the box in order to receive the ball from a cross or a through ball. Hinterseer possesses the quality where he can move to meet the ball (either with a header or his feet). An example of this behavior is shown in Fig. 14 of the play in which he scores against Gwangju (13th round). To create the chance he is able to find the space to receive from Kim Tae-hwan, control the ball and then convert for his first goal of the season. There was also a similar scenario shown in the right part of Fig. 14 that occurred during the second half, although at that time he was unable to convert.
Fig. 14 - Hinterseer drop deeper to receive the ball in the box.
Lee Dong-jun as a striker
While much has been made of his impact as a winger, Lee Dong-jun has also been deployed as a central striker this season. Especially when winger, and ex-Bolton man Lee Chung-yong, is available to play as both have a preference to play as the right winger. Usually, a winger like Lee Dong-jun, is often seen as a 'false 9' when used as a striker. This is common as it is expected that they will perform their usual roles and responsibilities but from the forward position. However, observing Lee Dong-jun's behavior as a striker, it is noted that his characteristics can be viewed as playing more as a 'true' number 9 than either of the other striker options, Kim Ji-hyeon and Hinterseer.
Whereas Kim Ji-hyeon would look to drop deeper and involve himself in build up, Lee Dong-jun often looks to make movements to receive the ball beyond the defensive line. This can be seen against Incheon in the 3rd round (Fig. 15). In both scenarios, there is an open passing lane in which he could receive a short pass. Instead, he is able to use his speed and movement off the ball to exploit the space behind the centre backs and run deep.
Fig. 15 - Lee Dong-jun behavior playing as a striker against Incheon in the 3rd round. He tries to exploit the space behind the defenders using his speed.
A similar scenario occurs versus Pohang Steelers in the 4th round (Fig. 16). With Yoon Bit-garam in possession between the Steelers' lines, you'd imagine a player such as Lee Dong-jun to drop into a pocket of space to receive and combine. However, in a counterintuitive way, one more time he makes a movement to try and break the opposition defensive line. While he doesn't get the ball, this is a strong play tactically. He forces Pohang's defenders to track his movement, creating more space for Yoon Bit-garam to attack the box. Unfortunately in this example, Yoon Bit-garam is eventually dispossessed.
Fig. 16 - Lee Dong-jun behavior playing as a striker. He makes the movement to break the opposing defensive line in a counterintuitive way. His movement also open space for the midfielders that are attacking the box.
Another important characteristic of Lee Dong-jun this season is his ability to press the ball when Ulsan is out of possession. Sometimes, even if he is the only player pressuring the ball he is able to effectively disrupt the opponent's play. As mentioned by Steve Han, Lee Dong-jun's ability to close down the ball at speed constantly puts opposition players under pressure:
With Hinterseer and Kim Ji-hyeon sidelined, Ulsan manager Hong Myung-bo opted to start winger Lee Dong-jun as a makeshift 9. The commentators kept mentioning Lee's flair throughout the game, but it was his work off the ball that really stood out to me. This is in the 88th minute. pic.twitter.com/Zj5hi8L5zZ
— Steve Han • 한만성 (@realstevescores) March 10, 2021
Being able to disrupt the opposition's build-up in this way is beneficial in that not only is there the chance of winning the ball back, but it also reduces the amount of time the opposition have to take up positions to progress the ball. Firstly, the goalkeeper has less time to assess the best option to maintain possession. Secondly, the defenders have a reduced amount of time to drop and be a passing option. With Lee Chung-yong sidelined with an injury between the 6th and the 16th round, Lee Dong-jun was deployed less as striker, being deployed mainly as the right-winger during that time. With Lee Chung-yong back from injury against Jeonbuk in the 17th round (Fig. 17), he, once again, played as a striker in the second half. Again, he has shown that he is capable of performing the striker role efficiently and can be a dangerous threat for the opponent's centre backs. His superior speed and vertical movements were able to create goal-scoring opportunities for Ulsan. Playing as a striker he scored the 4th goal in what was a pivotal 4-2 win against the current league champions.
Fig. 17 - Lee Dong-jun as a striker against Jeonbuk in the 17th round. With Lee Chung-yong back from injury he is again deployed as a striker in the 2nd half. His vertical movement is key in the play in which he scored the 4th Ulsan goal in the match with a great assist by Vako.
The relationship of Hong Myung-bo and the under-22 players
When Hong Myung-bo was appointed as a manager, it was mentioned of his willingness to utilise more young players, as well as renewing the squad. Ulsan has one of the best youth academies in the K League. The team also invested part of it's prize after winning the ACL in their youth academies. With that in mind, one word until now to define the use of the youngsters by Hong Myung-bo is flexibility. Even though the youth revolution has not started yet, this season it has shown signs of the confidence that the manager has in his young players. Most of Ulsan's midfielders and wingers are able to perform more than one role in the team's tactical structure and this is not different with the under-22 players.
The main options in the under-22 role for Ulsan this season are 21-year-old Kim Min-jun and 19-year-old Kang Yung-gu. A key difference from other young players used by other K League teams this season is that these players usually start in different roles in Ulsan's tactical structure in subsequent games. This characteristic allows Hong Myung-bo to rotate the squad easier and also shows that he relies on the youngsters to understand the team's tactical structure. Kang Yung-gu has already played as the third man in the midfield, in the right-wing, and in the left-wing. While Kim Min-jun is usually deployed as the right or left winger depending on which winger is rested or starts as a substitute. He already scored three goals this season. Against Pohang in the 4th round he scored playing as the left-winger, getting the chance after Lee Dong-jun's play:

Against FC Seoul in the 8th round, on the other hand, he scored playing as the right-winger, attacking the box after Ulsan's play originated from the left. Dynamic options for the Horangi from their youth squad are being introduced slowly and are expected to be the core of the team in the following years. Players like Won Du-jae, Lee Dong-gyeong, Kim Min-jun, Kang Yung-gu, Kim Ji-hyeon, and Lee Dong-jun are the exponents of a squad that wants to keep competing for the title in the next few years.

Transport in Porous Media
Oil Displacement for One-Dimensional Three-Phase Flow with Phase Change in Fractured Media
Hai-Shan Luo
Xiao-Hong Wang
In this article, the numerical simulations for one-dimensional three-phase flows in fractured porous media are implemented. The simulation results show that oil displacement in matrix is dominated by oil–water capillary pressure only under certain conditions. When conditions are changed to decrease the amount of water entering into the fractured media from the boundary of the flow field, water in fracture may be vaporized to superheated steam. In these cases, the appearance of superheated steam in fracture rather than in matrix will decrease the fracture pressure and generate the pressure difference between matrix and fracture, which results in oil flowing from matrix to fracture. Assuming that oil is wetting to steam, the matrix steam–oil capillary pressure will decrease the matrix oil-phase pressure as the matrix steam saturation increases. After the steam–oil capillary pressure finally exceeds the pressure difference due to the appearance of superheated steam in fracture, the oil displacement in matrix will stop. It is also shown that variations of the water relative permeability curve in matrix do not result in different mechanisms for oil displacement in matrix. The simulation results suggest that the amount of liquid water supply from the boundary of flow field fundamentally influence the mechanisms for oil displacement in matrix.
