OnePlus 8T confirmed with 120Hz display, specs and pricing leaked
Rei Padla
The October 14 official launch of the OnePlus 8T is still a few weeks away so we can expect more details will be leaked. Earlier, its exclusive pricing in Europe was leaked. The launch date has been confirmed and we already learned about the possibility of a revamped design. The camera module may be a big surprise but we're more excited about the 120Hz display. That part is something we want to see become a reality and yes, it is going to happen.
The Chinese mobile OEM already hinted on the 120Hz screen. No doubt OnePlus is implementing the display according to a recent tweet. OnePlus' 120Hz refresh rate makes other screens looking "basic". Not many companies have used 120Hz. We only know about the new Sony Xperia 5 II, the yet-to-be-announced Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, Nokia 9.3 Pureview, OPPO Find X2 Pro, and the POCO X2.
According to a source, the OnePlus 8T screen will come with a 6.55-inch screen with 120Hz fluid display. It is the same size as the OnePlus 8. The improved display will offer a "buttery smooth display experience" and better "overall viewing and gaming experience considerably" as per some information from OnePlus CEO Pete Lau.
An Amazon Germany page lists the price of OnePlus 8T. The 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model will be €599 ($699). The 12GB + 256GB variant is €699 ($817). They are actually more affordable than the OnePlus 8 phones released earlier.
More details on the specs have been listed as well. Expect the following: 4500mAh battery, 65W Warp fast-charging solution, 6.5-inch FHD+ display, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB storage, quad-camera system (48MP with OIS + 16MP ultra-wide + 5MP macro sensor + 2MP monochrome), and a 16MP selfie camera under a punch-hole. There is an on-screen fingerprint scanner. The phone is expected to be powered by OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11.

Ahead of the official launch of the new flagship devices from Samsung, we're getting a sort-of sneak preview through the official wallpapers. The Galaxy...

UIS works together closely with the Research Office in maintaining and developing the systems that ensure the smooth running of the University's research administration.
Research funding is such a vital source of income, and given the University's position as a centre of research excellence in the UK and worldwide, this is an area of great importance.
X5 – The University's grant costing tool, which was developed with University of Oxford and Unit 4 to meet the more-complex costing methodology needs introduced under the fEC (Full Economic Costing) model. This system is vital for Principal Investigators (PIs) to cost their research accurately and thus apply for the appropriate amounts from the various sponsors.
Supporting research administration
The following online resources are available to researchers to help when applying for research and monitoring active grants to ensure spend is on track:
Research Dashboard – Allows PIs to view the status of their research grant activity, including position in workflow for applications, status of contract negotiations and financial information for active grants via a simple-to-use web interface.
Research Grant Expenditure Application – Provides PIs (and their delegates) and Departmental Administrators with instant access to research grant budget, expenditure, commitment and remaining balance information via a simple-to-use web interface.
Equipment Database – Contains details of key research facilities and equipment at Cambridge (but also linked to a national portal). The database should be used as part of the research grant costing process to establish whether or not it is possible to share existing facilities/equipment rather than have to purchase them specifically for a new project.
Research Operations Office portal provides useful information on the work of the ROO and offers various online features, such as a contract submission system for materials transfer agreement (MTA) and confidential disclosure agreement (CDA) contracts, as well as helping you find your Research Operations Office contact.
Supporting REF and research information
Several applications are available to help academics find information regarding research and to support the REF:
Symplectic Elements – The University's research information management system. Provides a closed environment within which Cambridge researchers can create a profile to collate the outputs of their research, pulling information from a growing list of data sources, including ORCID, Scopus and Web of Science. Raven login required.
Dimensions – A powerful discovery engine where you can find grants, publications, citations, clinical trials and patents all in one place, helping you to understand the funding landscape.
Altmetric – Tracks the attention that scholarly articles and datasets receive online, over and above traditional academic citation counts and impact factors. Raven login required.
Impact repository – Used to capture impact that could be turned into case studies for the REF. Access to this system is restricted.
Grant maintenance
The Research Operations Office (ROO) also uses several custom-built systems maintained and developed by UIS to assist in the general administration of grants. These are:
RCO Database – The main grant management application that the ROO uses to track grant data, such as contract details, the type of grant, attached amendments, grant status and the generation of the grant number that's used as an identifier across the University.
Budget Calculator – A tool that takes the grant application across the various costing categories and works out the income split between the department and the CHEST, depending on which sponsor category has been applied to and as laid down by the terms of the University's incomes policy.
Claims Management System – A system that is used in conjunction with UFS to manage the billing cycles of successful grants, ensure that invoices are generated and help in chasing up any overdue payments.

Q: why the below code keep printing the value10? I was going to make a loop that if I type the alphabet then the ascii value comes out. Unless I type '0' in.
but result is as below. There is the code that I made below the result. Where the value 10 is coming from?
Press any Alphabet
A
65
Press any Alphabet
10
Press any Alphabet
char aski;
while(1)
{
    printf("Press any Alphabet\n");
    scanf("%c", &aski);
    if (aski == '0')
        break;
    else
        printf("%d\n", aski);
}

A: scanf reads an extra \n. ASCII of \n is 10. That's why you get 10. I suggest you to use getchar() to read extra \n.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char aski;
    while (1)
    {
        printf("Press any Alphabet\n");
        scanf("%c", &aski);
        getchar();
        if (aski == '0')
            break;
        else
            printf("%d\n", aski);
    }

    return 0;
}

The output is:
Press any Alphabet
a
97
Press any Alphabet
b
98

PS: I stopped excution after, entering b.

A: When you are pressing enter you are in fact creating a \n (new line) This char has the value of 10, which is what is being printed.
char c = '\n';
printf("%d",c);

Would give you 10 as result.
Try this
char aski;
scanf("%c ", &aski);

Notice the space after the %c, this makes sure to read all whitespace inputted.

What Is Royalty Revenue And The Way Is It Taxed?
August 31, 2022 Business
Ephron reunited Sleepless in Seattle stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks for this romantic comedy about an indie-bookstore proprietor and a bookstore chain bigwig. Stereotypical "hysterical-female" breakdowns and makeups occur, played out by A-checklist actors Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton (who also directed), and Lisa Kudrow. When Chris Carter began developing the thought for "The X-Files," he was largely influenced by the 1991 film "The Silence of the Lambs." He went as far as to make sure the actress who played Dana Scully, Gillian Anderson, had red hair to match the hair of Clarice Starling from the movie. Ephron and her sister Delia teamed up for the primary Ephron film of the 21st century, about a trio of sisters who bond over the demise of their father. Ephron wrote and directed this much-hyped film, but it did not do as well as anticipated. Meryl Streep stole the show in this comedy-drama, which Ephron additionally directed. Actually, although, the present was a lot more than that! How much for that keyboard? Robert Loggia performing "Chopsticks" on an oversized keyboard. However, when they learn their daughter is headed home on Christmas Eve to surprise them, the Kranks should put their cruise plans on hold and scramble to arrange.
The '80s is an superior decade for Christmas flicks. Stack a few frozen blocks of ice together and you'll see that a sculpture gets scary-heavy in a hurry, one more technical challenge that artists must consider. However all good issues must come to an end. That is adequate for us! The soon to be flight proven PHI instrument onboard Photo voltaic Orbiter will provide an excellent base for creating the PIM instrument. When Hancock (Will Smith, left), saves the life of a PR exec, he tries to return the favor by cleansing up the disgruntled superhero's public image, even if his wife, Mary (Charlize Theron, proper) thinks that Hancock is a lost cause. This function return the statistical properties of the listing of areas of the shapes in a composition. The Netflix collection started a long time later when BoJack kicked off his massive return to the movie star highlight. When you are executed, move this quiz along to all of your Netflix-loving buddies to see who can score the highest on the "BoJack Horseman" quiz!
Have you bought what it takes to move the "BoJack Horseman" quiz? Political advertisements have turn out to be an enormous part of campaigns. The Godfather: Part II. 1987 horror comedy film that followed a number of the universal monsters (Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula, the Invisible Man and the Wolf Man) who battle a group of youngsters for control of the world. The man behind the horse. The collection creator said it just sounded like a horse identify to him. To commemorate the current collection finale, we're taking a look again at the present and wish to know the way intently you have been paying attention. For example, cellular telephones look virtually nothing like they did ten to fifteen years back. Reuters reported that the emergence of COVID-19 forced Sovanna Phum – which had performed for 26 years. Notwithstanding, recent years have seen a rise in consciousness within the scientific community in regards to the implications of socio-technical systems' design and implementation responsible of reinforcing bias and discrimination (West et al., 2019; Baeza-Yates, 2018). Music Information Retrieval (MIR) analysis remains to be in its early-stage close to the evaluation of the ethical dimensions and influence of music expertise (Serra et al., 2013; Holzapfel et al., 2018; Salamon, 2019; Gomez et al., 2019), and a number of other challenges still have to be tackled when approaching MIR analysis from a socio-technical perspective.
To be completely sincere, we were slightly skeptical when (all these years ago now) "BoJack Horseman" debuted on Netflix. However where did the identify BoJack come from? Put your "BoJack" data to the check. Take this quiz to check your data of the cinematic classic. Stop no matter it's that you are doing, and let's take a bit of journey to Hollywoo. Go away the gun; take the cannoli. The movie was panned by critics and solely introduced in $36 million — about half as a lot because it price to make. "The two movies make widespread conclusions," Bowdon says. The two are enterprise rivals but fall for each other over the Internet, not realizing the true id of the opposite until they're hooked. Talia Shire and Francis Ford Coppola are brother and sister. All three males needed to play the role of Don Corleone, however Coppola had Brando in mind. Francis Ford Coppola directed "The Godfather" sequence. With megastar Nicole Kidman and fashionable funnyman Will Ferrell, the movie version of the 1960s Television collection should've brought larger box office returns than it did. Properly, BoJack, is not every animated character's life only a "series of unrelated wacky adventures"? It was, in essence, an adaptation, combining Julia Kid's autobiography "My Life in France" with New York author Julie Powell's "Julie and Julia," during which Powell recounts her makes an attempt to prepare all of the recipes in Child's "Mastering the Artwork of French Cooking." Streep received reward from fans and critics — and an Oscar nomination — for her position as Julia Baby.

It needs to say, "Not only am I hipper than you, I am also craftier and more ironic". The solution to this problem is rhinestones.

Asandra Spa Lounge's Profitable Approach to Capacity Planning
by Stacey Soble | November 30, 2016
Gene and Paul Frisco, two of the owners of the fast-growing Asandra Spa Lounge in Manhattan, New York.
At the post-recession time when many salons were walking away from the day spa business to focus their attention on the less-risky business of hair, Gene and Paul Frisco, two of the owners of Asandra Spa Lounge were embracing their spa side.
In the sections of Manhattan where they are located, ground floor rents are as high as $1,000 a square foot, but by building on the third floor they could get a rent closer to $50 a square foot. Instead of focusing on walk-by traffic to build their business, they focused on the walk-through traffic of their spa-goers to build up their salon clientele.
Since opening in 2011, Asandra has grown two locations with gross sales in excess of $5,000,000, and they've done it by studying their service inventory through a lens that's new to the world of beauty. With 22 treatment rooms and 33 chairs, the Friscos knew they had as many as 11,000 services to sell per month.
"We are still barely four years old, and our approach to revenue management follows the travel and hospitality industry," Gene says. "Every service hour of every day is tracked for the best way to sell it at the best available price. In order to do that we built a revenue management algorithm that didn't exist in the salon industry. Today, it's an automated system we use to set pricing with availability in a model fully responsive to changes in demand."
For example, Asandra's rack rate for a standard 60-minute massage is $100. But when openings are high, prices can fluctuate, dropping as low as $49. Eight highly trained call center employees contact guests with existing appointments to suggest add-on services, while Asandra also advertises on Last Minute Appointment to fill openings. "We actively sell our capacity, instead of waiting for people to call in and request appointments," Gene explains.
That means commissions for particular services can fluctuate for employees, but team members quickly understand that demand influences the percentage of their appointments which are sold are full price, and they take an active interest persuading their clientele to prebook.
"Our salon director in our Park Avenue store moved here from San Diego and in July, his first month, his book was 100 percent Groupon. By November he had converted many of those guests, and today 80 percent of his book were pre-booked appointments or call-in requests at full price."
Because their view is so unique, the Friscos have been tapped by Delta Airlines to build and manage the spas in the Delta Sky Clubs. The first in JFK, Atlanta, Seattle and Miami will open in early 2017.

three songs and a couple of random frustrations
It's so fucking weird to me
... to listen to Blink 182's What's My Age Again and hear the guy singing
nobody likes you when you're 23
and still act like you're in freshman year
what's my age again?
what's my age again...
... and realize that I'm about to be thirty-three, and it is freshman year. Fuck, what is my age again...?
Some songs you just have to grow into
... like the Smiths' incredible classic How Soon Is Now. When I was a teenager, I loved the vibrant, discordantly broken guitar line and plaintive synth, but the song itself meant nothing to me - I just couldn't get past the opening line I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar without thinking "aw man, another supposedly deep rock lyric that doesn't mean a fucking thing, it just supposedly sounds cool." (And to be fair, the 80's was FULL of utterly meaningless song lyrics, so hey.) And I just didn't have the life experience to appreciate the rest of the lyrics, especially the part about going to a club hoping to meet someone and going home alone. But dear lord, that song is an anthem for the people who are strong in all the wrong ways, and lonely because of it, and probably doomed to always be that lonely if they can't manage to unlearn that misplaced strength and open themselves up to people.
MC Chris cracks my shit up
... okay, I'm not incredibly captivated to the point of obsession the way I was with Bobby Jimmy and the Critters or the Bloodhound Gang when they were fresh and musically productive, but still - how can you not love a guy who sings about Boba Fett trying to make car payments, or (and this isn't funny if you aren't listening to the song, I know) coins the phrase "bitch is fuckin' up my christmas" to describe getting distracted by a hottie, and raps frenetically about it to a catchy beat? Well, maybe you can manage not to love that. But I can't.
Teacherreviewdotcom girl needs to grow a set
I swear to fucking god, if [teacher] from the last post doesn't
quit being so goddamn afraid of the class
start using WHITE FUCKING CHALK instead of bringing in that dingy-ass yellow shit (why? WHY would somebody WANT to use dingy-ass yellow chalk to write EVERYTHING on the board with?) that you can't read from the back of the classroom ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT SHE USES IT LIKE SHE'S AFRAID OF HURTING THE BLACKBOARD IF SHE PRESSES TOO HARD
doesn't quit standing to the left of what she's writing so that you can't read what she already wrote, and
doesn't get some kind of goddamn personality...
Well, hell. I don't know what I swear to fucking god I'll do if she doesn't, other than give her a really scathingly bad review on ratemyprofessor.com. But I'll certainly do that much. Nobody THAT damn afraid of a class of maybe 20 students should be GIVEN a class to teach without supervision.
I kinda feel for her, really - I mean I know she's not an Evil Person or something, she's just a scared grad student, but I'm frustrated because I feel like there's no social norm for a self-confident student ten years older than she is to approach her and talk to her about these things without triggering a defense mechanism. She's just too damn brittle, and I really don't need to piss off the person who's going to be giving me my grade. I did THAT enough in high school, lo those many years ago, and I haven't forgotten how THAT worked out, and I actually care about my GPA this time. Le sigh.
I was reading my Soc 101 book today and
I wound up hitting the section analysing the comparatively high divorce rate in the US with that of the rest of the world. It really does so in a pretty neutral light; but of course one of the many things that comes up is the endemic nature of lack of commitment so prevalent in modern American society. People just sort of do this "well until things don't seem to be working" thing, and yeah, unsurprisingly, the relationships wither and die - partly because of stresses on the relationship, but at least as much (I believe) because of fear of the other person leaving. It's one thing when things are tough, but you know that both parties will stick together through them, but it's another entirely when things get tough and you're thinking "well shit, this isn't a no-brainer anymore, they're totally going to leave... I should start looking around for options myself."
Nobody should feel like they have to put up with an abusive relationship, but god damn, people need to commit to one another. I hate how in the midst of incredible population densities, it's so easy to wind up so fucking alone because people are so tentative to form relationships and so quick to leave them. Sometimes you just need to decide "this person is [x] to me, and that means a lot, and it will take a lot to cause me to abandon [x] relationship." That relationship might be "friend", or it might be "lover", but I'm really sick of the way it's so normal for our society in general to make these shallow, tentative, meaningless little attachments and dissolve them just as easily. People need stability, and they need to know that there are people in their lives that they can count on, and that the slightest little shift in the wind won't suddenly leave them grasping for support that is no longer there.
Okay, I'm done. I guess I need to go read a chapter or two of Music Appreciation now. Sigh.

More than a mile long, the Grand Coulee Dam is the largest concrete structure in the U.S. In the fall of 2011, dam operators agreed to open the spillway just for American Experience. "It was very exciting that they agreed to spill for us for a short period specifically for the film," said Associate Producer Lauren DeFilippo. "We ran to the top and bottom [of the dam] in about 30 minutes to capture all that we could" on film.
This 15-second time-lapse video shows the spillway closing. The water flowing through the spillway makes the Grand Coulee appear white, though when the water stops, the concrete appears black.
It would be the "Biggest Thing on Earth," the salvation of the common man, a dam and irrigation project that would provide a source of cheap power—boosting an entire region of the country.
Seven years into the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam, the reservoir behind the dam began to fill, submerging around 18,000 acres of land in the Colville Reservation. Explore the story in photos.
Watch the opening scene of Grand Coulee Dam.

(CBS/AP) Many aging women worry about osteoporosis. But does that mean they should have frequent bone density tests? A new study suggests frequent screenings aren't necessary.
If an initial bone scan shows no big problems, most women can safely wait 15 years to have another one, the study suggests.
Government advisers and leading doctor groups urge osteoporosis screening, but no one has known for sure how often that should happen. The findings offer the best information to date on that question, experts said.
The scans in question are bone mineral density tests, which usually are done through X-rays and cost around $250. The test takes about 10 minutes and involves less radiation than what's emitted during a chest X-ray. Medicare pays for testing every two years.
The test measures how thick bones are in certain spots, usually focusing on the hip and lower spine. Doctors use it to get an early warning of osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease that can be staved off with better diet and exercise and treated with bone-building drugs. Nearly half of all women older than 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government panel that issues testing guidelines, recommends that all women over 65 get a scan. The panel also recommends testing for younger postmenopausal women who seem at higher risk for fractures. But the task force has not said how often follow-up tests should be done, just that a couple years between tests are needed.
The research - published in the Jan. 19 New England Journal of Medicine - involves nearly 5,000 women aged 67 years and older in a national health study that began in the 1980s. None had osteoporosis at the outset. The researchers looked at how the women did on bone density tests, and followed them for 15 years to see who got osteoporosis and when. And they found that women with a healthy initial test could wait as long as 15 years before getting a second screening. But women deemed at moderate risk should get tested about every five years. And women at high risk should get tested more often, perhaps even annually.
The results feed some concerns that tests are done too often.
"It's an expenditure of time, it's exposure to radiation, and it's cost. And there's no reason to expose yourself to any risks if there's going to be no benefit," explained Dr. Virginia Moyer, who heads the the task force.
Study author Dr. Margaret Gourlay of the University of North Carolina worries that her findings might be misinterpreted and cause some women to wait longer than they should for their next test. She cited earlier research suggesting not enough women get the recommended initial scan.
The 15-year interval applies only to postmenopausal women judged to be at low risk for osteoporosis from the first screening, she noted, and perhaps fewer than half of U.S. women over 65 fall into that category. And even for those women, Gourlay said, other risk factors have to be considered: smoking, slim build, prior broken bones and taking medication that has an eroding effect on bones.

Show moreAge related cataracts are one of the major causes of loss of vision worldwide. Approximately 20 million people in the United States have their vision obstructed by cataracts and 500,000 new cases are diagnosed annually. The treatment for cataract is surgical extraction. The surgery is more than 95% successful in significantly improving vision. Because of continual advancements in cataract surgery, it is almost exclusively performed as an outpatient procedure and involves the administration of local anesthesia. For the most part patients are fully conscious during the procedure and it is imperative that they remain still. In the elderly, fear of loss of vision related to cataract surgery is second only to the fear of death. Although studies have shown that the average cataract patient is not unduly anxious regarding cataract surgery, anxiety is a known entity. An increase in anxiety can cause a patient to be restless, jittery, and agitated, all of which can cause unanticipated movement and hence a deleterious outcome. People are social beings. Interaction with and among other people provides and conveys support, comfort, and reassurance. Touch, specifically hand holding, has been shown to decrease anxiety and stress in multiple situations. It is minimally invasive, safe, reassuring and could allow patients to communicate during procedures where verbal communication, if done without parameters, as in cataract surgery, could be devastating. The findings of this study failed to reveal a significant difference in post op anxiety scores in either the treatment group or the non treatment group. However, subjectively, those people who received hand holding strongly agreed that hand holding helped to decrease anxiety during the procedure. The physician rating for patient compliance did not reveal a significant level of increase with the intervention during surgery. Again, subjectively, the majority of patients strongly agreed that hand holding did help them to be more compliant to the surgeon's request. None of the participants that received hand holding felt an intrusion of personal space during the treatment. Results strongly suggest, at least subjectively, that hand holding is beneficial in decreasing anxiety, increasing compliance to intraoperative request, and is much welcomed, beneficial nursing intervention.
"Hitler Is Here": Lynching in Florida during the Era of World War II.
Hobbs, Tameka Bradley, Jones, Maxine D., Dickson-Carr, Darryl, Richardson, Joe M., Jones, James P., Childs, Matthew D., Department of History, Florida State University

In addition to describing the circumstances surrounding each incident, this study also discusses the reaction of local law enforcement, Florida state public officials, the federal government, and the press. To tell these stories, the study relied on records from local and state governments, investigative records of the U. S. Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and, oral history from family members and residents of the communities in which these lynchings occurred. The study gives these incidents further exploration, in attempting to fit them into the chronology of the lynching phenomenon in the United States by extracting similarities as well as changes in the practice of lynching itself. These lynchings also indicate an increasingly negative reaction but segments of the American public against such acts of violence. This was due in part to U. S. participation in World War II and the government's increasing concern about the nation's international reputation.
THE "HOLY EXPERIMENT": AN EXAMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS UPON THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN CORRECTIONAL PHILOSOPHY (QUAKERS, RENAL, PRISON REFORM).
CROMWELL, PAUL FRANK., Florida State University
The Quaker era in American corrections is traditionally characterized in criminological literature as the brief experiment with substitution of imprisonment for the sanguinary corporal and capital punishments of England and the other colonies by William Penn in 1682, and as the subsequent rebirth of the philosophy by Philadelphia Quakers between 1790-1840., The premise underlying this research is that the origin and evolution of American correctional philosophy cannot be fully and accurately...
Show moreThe Quaker era in American corrections is traditionally characterized in criminological literature as the brief experiment with substitution of imprisonment for the sanguinary corporal and capital punishments of England and the other colonies by William Penn in 1682, and as the subsequent rebirth of the philosophy by Philadelphia Quakers between 1790-1840., The premise underlying this research is that the origin and evolution of American correctional philosophy cannot be fully and accurately understood from any perspective that limits the Quaker influence to early periods of American history. The study elaborates the direct and indirect influence of a Quaker social reform movement which began in Europe in 1670 and continues today as a vital and viable force behind correctional public policy in the United States. Although the strength and impact of the Quaker social reform movement, the "holy experiment," as William Penn termed it, has waxed and waned over the past three centuries, the efforts of the Society of Friends to attain social justice in correctional reform has been a continuous social reform movement., The present research interprets the Quaker correctional reforms in America as a single social movement which evolved in distinct stages over a period of three hundred years. The theoretical frame of reference is a social contextual perspective, which considers the events in the social, political and economic context of the time., The evolution of the American correctional philosophy can be seen as a single, extended social movement which began with the Quaker persecution in Europe and the subsequent migration to America; evolved into an utopian effort to establish a new and better means of dealing with the criminal; and, further developed into a reform effort, diffusing the gospel of the "penitentiary" and the new "prison discipline." Its basic philosophy remained for the next one hundred years the foundation of American correctional policy, only to be reexamined in the mid-twentieth century and found wanting by the same reformers who established it, and the struggle for reform began again.
"How Hard I Have Manoeveured": Elizabeth Waring, J. Waties Waring, and Their Rhetorical Campaign to End School Segregation.
Fenimore, Wanda Little, Houck, Davis W., Fleckenstein, Kristie S., Nudd, Donna M., Proffitt, Jennifer M., School of Communication, Florida State University
On January 16, 1950, Elizabeth Waring delivered an explosive speech to the Coming Street (black) Young Women's Christian Association in Charleston, South Carolina. The speech was the first in a rhetorical campaign launched by Mrs. Waring and her husband, federal Judge J. Waties Waring, to publicize racial oppression and segregation in the South.

Show moreOn January 16, 1950, Elizabeth Waring delivered an explosive speech to the Coming Street (black) Young Women's Christian Association in Charleston, South Carolina. The speech was the first in a rhetorical campaign launched by Mrs. Waring and her husband, federal Judge J. Waties Waring, to publicize racial oppression and segregation in the South. Because of the outraged reaction and media publicity of the Charleston YWCA speech, Mrs. Waring garnered an invitation to appear on NBC's nationally televised Meet the Press. On the show, Mrs. Waring shocked Southern whites further when she declared that people should be allowed to marry whoever they please. In other words, the taboo against interracial sex was nonsensical. In this dissertation, I examine the rhetorical campaign of the Warings from historical-critical and rhetorical perspectives. I situate their rhetoric within its historical context of the Jim Crow South as well as the rhetorical situation that gave rise to the Warings' public discourse. Rather than a specific method, I employ close reading of the text of the YWCA speech to determine the ways that Mrs. Waring spoke of race relations and social equality. Along with delving deeply into the Charleston YWCA speech, I establish continuities between it and the Warings' other speeches. In addition, I argue that the Warings defied the rhetorical situation in terms of persuasion and fitting response because their rhetoric adheres to the elements of exhortation as well as polarization, shock, prophetic, and agitator rhetoric. After closely reading the text of the speech, I turn to the response among Southern whites and media by examining newspaper articles, editorials, and letters written to the Warings. The Warings endured social ostracism, vile letters, harassing phone calls, impeachment threats, and attacks upon their home. Yet, despite their efforts and perseverance, their attempts to end school segregation are little known. The timing of the Warings' rhetorical campaign is significant in terms of the Clarendon County school segregation case that began in 1948. After landing in Judge Waring's courtroom on two separate occasions, the matter eventually became one of the cases (Briggs v. Elliott) of Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court decision that ruled school segregation was unconstitutional. The rhetorical history of Briggs, specifically its prominence and significance as part of Brown, is largely unwritten. Judge Waring presided over these cases and ordered Thurgood Marshall and NAACP attorneys to revise the suit from an equalization case to a direct attack on the constitutionality of legally-mandated segregation. Southern whites continually questioned the Warings' motives, claiming that the couple was using race relations to exact revenge on the whites who socially spurned them. However, Elizabeth and Waties' activism included public and private actions. Along with their rhetoric and Judge Waring's judicial opinions, the Warings corresponded regularly with a network of prominent civil rights advocates like Septima Clark, James Dombrowsky, Aubrey Williams, Marion Wright, Walter White, and Myles Horton. They frequently entertained blacks in their home and aided Reverend Joseph De Laine after he fled South Carolina. I argue that the Warings were involved in both covert and overt actions to achieve their goal, the end of school segregation, and their motives were genuine, not spiteful. They purposefully pursued a rhetorical course of action to influence the outcome of the Clarendon County school segregation case. Examining that campaign offers a different appreciation and understanding for how Brown came about.
"How We Got Ovah": Afrocentric Spirituality in Black Arts Movement Women's Poetry.

Show moreThis study, using poetry by Carolyn Rodgers, Sarah Webster Fabio, Sonia Sanchez, Sharon Bourke, Ntozake Shange and Jayne Cortez, examines the manifestations of Afrocentric spirituality in women's writing during the Black Arts Movement. Until recently, there has been a paucity of scholarship on the movement. When studying the BAM, critics have heretofore concentrated on sexism, homophobia, nationalism, and racism as its most prominent aspects. However, BAM writers also have a marked concern with spirituality from an African epistemological standpoint, which brings new possibilities for critical analysis to the forefront. Theorists such as Larry Neal furthermore termed the movement as a spiritual sister to the Black Power Movement. This project contributes to the burgeoning conversation on BAM women's poetry by evaluating the ways in which they deem spirituality as essential for agency as women and as black citizens. I identify three major themes in which women's spirituality serves as a prerequisite for or an enabler of black liberation and revolution. Chapter One explains how Carolyn Rodgers, in her books Songs of a Blackbird and How I Got Ovah, creates personas that initially reject Christianity as a Eurocentric religious construction, but subsequently acknowledge the Afrocentric spirituality of the black church and ascribe to it a revolutionary blackness. Chapter Two demonstrates, through Ntozake Shange's for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf and Sonia Sanchez's I've Been a Woman, that women must first give birth to themselves spiritually before they can successfully accomplish the birth of the black nation. Chapter Three examines five poems by Carolyn Rodgers, Jayne Cortez, Sonia Sanchez, Sarah Webster Fabio, and Sharon Bourke, arguing that black women poets activate nommo, the power of words to influence action, when they write jazz poetry; as cultural and spiritual leaders in their own rights, they serve as a type of co-priestess to the black community when they recognize the jazz artist as a spiritual priest. Conclusively, I determine that there is indeed space for the recognition of the intended spiritual goals and accomplishments of the Black Arts Movement, and especially of marginalized black women's poetry.

Show moreThis paper explores the transition of Margery Kempe from a married laywoman to celibate mystic in The Book of Margery Kempe. Margery grapples with three very different and distinct challenges in the course of finding her spiritual niche in the patriarchal-dominated medieval Church. Margery must first deal with overcoming the Church's view that her body was a site of sinfulness and ontological monstrosity. She then chooses to seek the aid of her spiritual predecessors and discover where she fits into the tradition of female mystics. Finally, she must come to terms with the fact that due to the fact that she was functionally illiterate, she must filter her biography through the hand of a scribe. Throughout all of her experiences, she constantly seeks validation from the male clergy, her spiritual foremothers, and other members of society. However, to alleviate her fears and anxieties, Margery must go within herself, get her narrative written and carve her own space within the Catholic Church. By doing this, she effectively makes her place within the Church, the literary canon, and creates the first autobiography in the English language.

I position Bridgforth's performance pieces as points of entry for discussing the U.S. American theatre's misleading categorization of plays by women playwrights of color as plays concerned with race over aesthetics-- an oversimplified system that undercuts the multifaceted, polyphonic plays and performance pieces written, and limits the multiple interpretations possible in these works. I ultimately advocate for reimagining U.S. American theatre's discourse on race and gender, asking spectators to consider ways in which the voices "from the fringe" challenge incomplete binaries of identity and community.

On The Road Review – Kerouac's Kooks
October 4, 2012 October 6, 2014 / Reshoot&Rewind
Director: Walter Salles
Writer: Jose Rivera (screenplay), Jack Kerouac (novel)
Stars: Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Viggo Mortensen
Release date: October 12th, 2012
Distributor: IFC Films
Countries: USA, France, UK, Brazil, Canada
Best part: Eric Gautier's cinematography.
Worst part: Sam Riley's subdued performance.
For any writer, the most daunting experience is sitting in front of the blank page, wishing for your greatest work to be expelled from your mind and onto the canvas. On The Road reminds us however that our characteristics and experiences are what inspire some of our most creative ideas and endeavours. Based on one of the most popular books of its time, the film adaptation is a cool and viscerally enjoyable ride. Taking a more traditional approach for a road trip story, the film takes the beautiful and poignant scenic route, slowing down long enough to enjoy the ride through America's forgotten landscapes.
Sam Riley & Garrett Headlund.
Author Jack Kerouac based the book on his own experiences in the time of the Beat generation of the late 1940s and early 50s. Representing Kerouac, Sal (Sam Riley) is struggling to let go of writer's block. Coping with the sudden death of his father, Sal wanders lazily through New York City searching for ideas, before he is introduced to to womaniser and drug addict Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund). They instantly connect, becoming great friends while falling into the life of sex, drugs and smooth jazz music. Eager to learn about the heartland of America, they, along with several other colourful characters, travel across America in search of greater temptations and Sal's next great story.
This once seemingly 'unfilmable' novel has been re-created as a touching, fun yet confronting character study. South American director Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) has mixed an American road story with a taste for his home continent's cinema. On the Road is an important discussion of freedom and liberty. Everyone in this time was free to taste, play and screw anyone and anything, letting go of personal and societal demons. We however are only introduced to one narrow side of this problematic time in American history. Salles' discusses race, class, sexual orientation and femininity, without capturing the social and political attitudes of the time, and the consequences of questionable actions. Creating several vibrant drug trip sequences throughout the film, Salles is determined to immerse the viewer in the dirty yet delectable world he has re-created. Much like My Own Private Idaho and Into the Wild, what makes the large American setting whole are its inhabitants. On The Road is filled with a collection of strange characters, expressing their dreams and desires with the funky bunch of travellers. The acclaimed cast grows with every place Sal becomes a part of, capturing a truly engaging and unseen America. Character actors including Terence Howard, Steve Buscemi, Amy Adams, Alice Braga, Kirsten Dunst and Viggo Mortensen provide charismatic performances in small yet thematically important roles. Homo-eroticism and sex however are the most important interactions on this journey, as each friend subtly expresses their undying love for both each other and a seemingly lawless world.
"I really wish I could drink whiskey like a man. All these guys are like: "Hey! Do a shot!"" (Carlo Marx (Tom Sturridge), On the Road).
Viggo Mortensen.
Despite significant chemistry between Sal and his new friends, including charismatic performances from Hedlund and Kristen Stewart as nymphomaniac and lost soul Marylou, Sal's desire for writing his next great novel never comes across as significant or even broken to begin with. His existential troubles should have been focused on to a much greater extent, instead defining his character as a quiet and emotionless outsider. Riley's lack of personality in the role also hinders the emotional impact needed for the contemplative character, failing to establish any concerns with the purity of the blank page. The dialogue however paints a picture of every city coming up on their map. While each character's love for art and expression is told with distinct discourses and languages, succinctly capturing a time of freedom and rebellion in post-WWII USA. This road trip is a poetic and contemplative experience. Despite its noticeably slow pace, every city and hidden place in America is beautifully photographed. Authentically capturing every desert, mountainous and industrial area throughout the country, Sal's pallet is provided more than many delectable ideas to create the perfect story. Tracking shots of every hazardous location place the viewer in each bump and fork in the road on their kaleidoscopic journey. Not only does Salles capture each distinct and dirty setting of the Beat generation, but the radiant Jazz and Soul score, along with many expressive and sweaty dance sequences, create a toe-tapping energy for every twist and turn on their grand adventure.
Certainly, despite Salles' best efforts, On the Road fails to live up to Kerouac's sterling legend. The slow pacing and jarring tonal shifts show off things that were lost in the translation. However, thanks to the performances, it still stands up on its own.
Verdict: A slow yet engaging journey across heartland America.

Q: Quantity and Trig functions I have a bunch of data to which I've assigned units using Quantity, including some angular measurements in degrees. I'd like to be able to use these measurements with trigonometric functions, but it seems that trig functions don't "know" about Quantity, so I'm forced to convert those measurements to radians and then apply the trig function to the magnitudes, like this:
x = Quantity[23.4, "AngularDegrees"]
Cos[QuantityMagnitude @ UnitConvert[x, "Radians"]]

This works, but it's slow and seems clunky, at best. Is there a more elegant (and hopefully faster) approach?

A: As noted in the comments, one might consider avoiding UnitConvert[] for this purpose:
lp = LatitudeLongitude[GeoPosition[{40.11, -88.26}]]
   {Quantity[40.11, "AngularDegrees"], Quantity[-88.26, "AngularDegrees"]}

RepeatedTiming[UnitConvert[lp, "Radians"]]
   {0.00018, {Quantity[0.700052, "Radians"], Quantity[-1.54043, "Radians"]}}

RepeatedTiming[lp /. Quantity[x_?NumericQ, "AngularDegrees"] :> x °]
   {0.000013, {0.700052, -1.54043}}

For converting angles in DMS format, the method is a bit more elaborate:
sp = StarData["Polaris", "Declination"]
   Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{89, 15, 50.76`2.1985422820612186}],
            MixedUnit[{"AngularDegrees", "ArcMinutes", "ArcSeconds"}]]

sp /. Quantity[MixedMagnitude[m_],
               MixedUnit[{"AngularDegrees", "ArcMinutes", "ArcSeconds"}]] :> FromDMS[m] °
   1.55795

Despite the complexity, this is still faster than UnitConvert[].

Trump Admin Walks Back Anti-MEK Memo
Betsy Swan, Erin Banco, Asawin Suebsaeng, The Daily Beast, January 14 2020:… Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani—who the MEK hired to help it get off the U.S. list of foreign terrorist groups and who recently called the group "my MEK people"—welcomed the reversal. "[The MEK] is very supportive of a free…Iraq. It's run by a great woman who is committed to ending suppression of women and in a non-nuclear Iran," the president's personal lawyer messaged The Daily Beast. "They were of great assistance to us during [the] Iraq invasion and are supported by a very non-partisan group of American former and present public officials." Trump Admin Walks Back Anti-MEK Memo
Disinformation Campaign Targeting John Bolton's Family
Lachlan Markay, Daily Beast, August 09 2019:… "John Bolton," the "exclusive" article added, "is a fervent supporter of MKO terror group," using one of several acronyms for the Mujahideen-e-Khalq organization, or MEK. Bolton has earned tens of thousands of dollars in speaking fees for appearances at MEK conferences. The MEK participated in the 1979 revolution which installed Iran's theocratic government, but eventually sought exile in Iraq, where it carried out terrorist attacks in Iran on behalf of Saddam Hussein's government.

Canadian returning to B.C. without a quarantine plan says she was told 'figure it out'
Published Tuesday, September 1, 2020 8:00PM PDT Last Updated Wednesday, September 2, 2020 11:09AM PDT
VANCOUVER -- Julia Leese had the adventure of a lifetime.
A year ago, she quit her job then sold her car and house in Campbell River, B.C., in order to make what she called a fresh start, with a year of travelling and visiting with family in Australia.
Work options Down Under didn't quite pan out, and six months into the pandemic, Leese realised it was time to come home.
"I needed to get back to reality and have a new career," Leese said.
Leese said she was fully aware of Canada's 14-day quarantine requirement for returning international travellers.
She couldn't stay with her parents in Alberta, or a friend who was undergoing cancer treatment on Vancouver Island. And her sister was in the middle of a move on the other side of the country.
But Leese said she had read about a failsafe – the federal government.
"I thought there would be a specific hotel that was quarantine-designed and that (health officials) would take you from the airport to the hotel," Leese said.
That didn't happen.
When she landed at YVR last Friday, Leese said the health official she spoke to told her while he could present some potential options, it would be up to her to find her own accommodation, food, and transportation.
"Figure it out yourself," Leese said she was told.
After some back and forth and calls to hotels with rates well over $100 a night, Leese said she settled on a hotel on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
She turned out to regret her choice.
"This is the third room that I've been moved to in the same hotel," she said in a short video diary she recorded for CTV News Tuesday.
"I've been moved due to uncleanliness and broken (plumbing)," she said. "It's just not ideal and it's very difficult to be stuck in this little, tiny, dirty place."
Leese wanted to change hotels, but said she was unable to reach federal or provincial health authorities with the numbers she'd been given, and she was reluctant to make a move without permission.
"I don't want to get fined. I don't want to get in trouble. I want to make sure they know where I am," Leese said.
When CTV News reached out, a spokesperson with the Public Health Agency of Canada said she would pass along Leese's details to the appropriate team.
The province also told CTV it would also look into her case.
Leese said she wasn't looking for sympathy or financial help, but an OK to move to a place where she could keep groceries cold, eat healthy, and reduce her stress level for the next 10 days.
"It's getting really hard," she said Tuesday afternoon.
She added she didn't want to anyone to make the mistake she did, by assuming the federal government would have a place for her to stay, free of charge.
"There is no federal quarantine facility program," Tammy Jarbeau, senior media relations advisor with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), wrote in a statement.
"When deemed necessary by a public health officer designated under the Quarantine Act, and only when travellers are confirmed to have no other suitable quarantine or isolation options available, a traveller may be transferred to a federal designated quarantine facility," Jarbeau went on to write.
"This measure is used only as a last resort."
Advice and fact sheets provided by the federal government suggest that may happen when a traveller exhibits COVID-19 symptoms or tests positive.
Jarbeau said a total 3,434 travellers have been lodged at federally designated quarantine sites this year. There were 182 lodged as of Aug. 30.
It's unclear if there have been changes in the options offered to returning international travellers since the early months of the pandemic.
A spokesperson with B.C.'s Health Ministry told CTV News while the federal government has jurisdiction around quarantine requirements, provincial officials still conduct compliance and wellness checks.
Late Tuesday, Leese messaged CTV News via Facebook to say someone from Emergency Management BC had called and had given her the green light to change hotels and share her new quarantine plan.
"Just when I thought I was doomed, the phone rang," Leese wrote.
Her advice for other travellers? Plan ahead and don't rely on anyone but yourself.
B.C. resident Julia Leese speaks to CTV News from the hotel in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside where she has been waiting out her 14-day quarantine on Sept. 1, 2020.

The Democrats—the longer they talk about identity politics, I got 'em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.
Is Bannon's dream and the Democrats' nightmare about race coming true this election year? Or have Democrats found a way of talking about race that is both inclusive and effectively mobilizes the African American vote?
They managed that balancing act, of course, in the era of Barack Obama. Candidate Obama took pains to run as a reformer who happened to be African American rather than as an African American candidate, though his identity and the racial significance of his election were inescapable.
Georgia has elected black officials with some crossover white votes in cities like Atlanta and in certain congressional districts, but has never elected an African American governor or senator. Polls show that the race is basically a toss-up.
In Boston, City Councilor Ayanna Pressley is running to unseat incumbent Democratic Congressman Mike Capuano in next Tuesday's Democratic primary. The district, which includes Cambridge, Somerville, and parts of Boston, has a narrowly non-white majority.
Is this view of race a problem―or an opportunity? It's surely both. Racism remains a festering sore, and minorities are indeed underrepresented in elective office. Yet it's also a shame to throw longtime white allies under the bus.
It all adds up to the same thing―the politics of division. They want us pointing us fingers at each other so that we won't notice that their hands are in our pockets. That stops here. That stops now. We say, no, you will not divide us.


Unfortunately, there is an identification problem which is not dealt with adequately in the paper.
The residuals are clearly non-normal, and the specification of the model is incorrect.
Have you tried two-stage least squares?
The conclusions change if you introduce uncertainty.
I proved the main results in a paper published years ago.
The market cannot, of course, deal satisfactorily with that externality.
But what if transaction costs are not zero?
What empirical finding would contradict your theory?
What happens when you extend the analysis to the later (or earlier) period?
That is alright in theory, but it doesn't work out in practice.
The problem cannot be dealt with by partial equilibrium methods; it requires a general equilibrium formulation.
Is there a weak instruments problem?
The conclusion rests on the assumption of fixed tastes, but (of course) tastes have surely changed.
The trouble with the present situation is that the property rights have not been fully assigned.
How did you handle endogeneity problem?

Unfortunately, loss of plant and animal habitat leads to local species extinctions and a loss of diversity from ecosystems. Fortunately, not all of the extinctions occur at once. Conservation actions may still be able to save threatened species, according to William Newmark, a vertebrate zoologist at the Natural History Museum of Utah at the University of Utah.
In the study, published in Nature Communications, Newmark and colleagues complied data from biodiversity and extinction reports, finding that patterns of species loss following habitat disruption are similar among birds, mammals, plants, reptiles and invertebrates. Newmark and colleagues also found that while species loss commences quickly, timely action could slow extinction rates and save species.

In deep debt
When natural habitats are lost, species lose the physical space and resources they need to continue growing and expanding. Habitats are usually lost due to human activity, such as building roads or clear-cutting a forest. After such a disturbance, the habitat can no longer support the number of species that live there and species begin to disappear until the habitat reaches a new normal. The difference between the old and new amounts of biodiversity the habitat can support is called the "extinction debt."
The research team, which included John M. Halley and Nikolaos Monokrousos from the University of Ioannina, and Antonios D. Mazaris and Despoina Vokou from the University of Thessaloniki, reviewed 43 previous studies spanning 1971 to present that included descriptions of biodiversity loss following habitat fragmentation in five taxonomic groups: mammals, plants, birds, reptiles and invertebrates.
Newmark and his colleagues found a shallow J-shaped curve, nearly identical in each taxonomic group, that described how the rates of extinction loss change over time. At first, extinction rates are high, and then decelerate until the point at which half of the extinction debt is paid off. After that point, species loss continues but at a slower rate until a new equilibrium is reached.
Several factors influence the timeline in which the biodiversity loss process plays out, but Newmark says that all groups they studied, even those thought to be resistant to extinction such as plants, showed the same pattern. These similar patterns emerge if species loss is calculated in terms of average population size and time for a new generation to arise for these taxonomic groups.
"With those two constants along with historical and current species numbers, we can predict the rate at which species will be lost in habitat remnants," Newmark said. "Most plants will have much larger populations than large mammals. Obviously plants will disappear more slowly. But the shape of this trajectory in species loss over time is identical to that of mammals."
The halfway point
The researchers also addressed an ongoing question in population ecology: Does species loss occur more quickly in small habitats versus large ones? The results suggest the answer is yes. The half-life, or halfway point of species loss, was proportional to the habitat area. Smaller habitat fragments produced more rapid half-lives.
Such a finding suggests that half-life could be extended by expanding the area of the remaining habitat fragments. "Creating connectivity between habitat remnants reduces this rate of species loss," Newmark said.
Although the first few species to bear the brunt of extinction debt disappear rapidly, regardless of habitat area, Newmark's findings suggest that a window of opportunity exists, following habitat loss, to preserve species at risk and re-establish a viable habitat able to support a diverse complement of life.
"This study has important implications for conservation, whether it's in national parks, tropical forest remnants, or oceanic islands," Newmark said. "It emphasizes the importance of acting quickly."

A cool roof is highly reflective and bounces sunlight off the roof instead of absorbing heat and transferring it to the home's interior. They are increasingly popular because they can lower air conditioning bills and save the homeowner money. The hotter and sunnier the area, the higher the savings. According to the Cool Roof Council, cool roofs may save homeowners an average of 7-15% on total cooling costs.
Long-term costs are also lower with cool shingles because they stand up to time and weather better than traditional shingles. This means you will save on roof maintenance in the years ahead.
Greener Solutions Heat & AC provides cool roofing installation services in the greater Stockton, California area. Our friendly and experienced technicians are available to handle all your window, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and roofing needs. All our technicians are licensed, insured and highly skilled to handle all your roofing installation needs.

Q: Server error in application '/'. HTTP 404. MVC ASP.NET I am trying to show a view through the POST action method, but when calling this action it shows me the message "Server error in application '/'".
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) may have been removed, renamed, or temporarily unavailable. Please review the URL below and make sure it is spelled correctly.

I have already created my respective view for this method using the routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes().
     [Route("Home/AddPiloto")]
     [Route("AddPiloto")]
     public ActionResult AddPiloto()
     {
         return View();
     }

Here is the POST action that I am calling from my html form, the method works and gets the data, only the view fails.
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult AddPiloto(PilotoClass pclass)
    {
        HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
        httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/AeronauticaDGAC/");
        var request = httpClient.PostAsync("webresources/conndatabase.piloto/supCreatePost", pclass,
            new JsonMediaTypeFormatter()).Result;
        if (request.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            var resultString = request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
            var succes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<bool>(resultString);
            ViewBag.Mg = succes;
            return RedirectToAction("AddPiloto");
        }
        ViewBag.Mg = request.StatusCode;
        return RedirectToAction("Index",ViewBag);
    }

Finally here I have a typical form that calls this method POST.
        <form action="AddPiloto" method="post">

                <input class="form-control" type="number" name="id" value="" placeholder="Id" />
                <input id="inp1" class="form-control" type="text" name="nombre" value="" placeholder="Nombre" />
                <input id="inp1" class="form-control" type="text" name="apellido" value="" placeholder="Apellido" />
                <input id="inp1" class="form-control" type="number" name="edad" value="" placeholder="Edad" />

                <input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" name="button" value="Enviar" />
                <input onclick="limpiarFormulario1()" class="btn btn-danger" type="button" name="button" value="Limpiar" />

        </form>

I already have the view created, compile and recompile the solution, clear the browser cache, check if the file exists and restart the IIS server, but nothing works for me, if someone knows any possible solution I would greatly appreciate the answer.
Thanks in advance.

Routing code.
public class RouteConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
            routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
        }
    }

A: When you redirect to index, you're passing ViewBag as an argument.
return RedirectToAction("Index",ViewBag);

But the server cannot find an index method receiving that parameter, so it raises an exception.

*

*Remove ViewBag as an argument when you redirect.
return RedirectToAction("Index");

*Before redirecting, replace ViewBag for TempData
 if (request.IsSuccessStatusCode)
 {
     var resultString = request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
     var succes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<bool>(resultString);
     TempData["Mg"] = succes;
     return RedirectToAction("AddPiloto");
 }
 TempData["Mg"] = request.StatusCode;
 return RedirectToAction("Index");

*To retrieve the value you stored in previous step, use TempData["Mg"] further on.
You need TempData instead because after RedirectToAction you'll be in a new request. Since ViewBag is only available for same request, the values would be lost after redirecting.
