2nd GOP senator now urges President Trump to resign over Capitol riot
Two Republican Senators now say President Donald Trump should resign as support for efforts to indict him a second time is gaining momentum in his final days after the deadly riot of a violent crowd of Trump supporters at the Capitol. Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey and Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski called on Trump to "resign and leave as soon as possible" on Sunday. Murkowski, who has long voiced her outrage over Trump's behavior in office, told the Anchorage Daily News on Friday that Trump simply "needs to get out." Toomey said that while he believes Trump committed criminal acts to encourage loyalists to siege the Capitol, he didn't think there was enough time for impeachment on Wednesday. Toomey said resignation was "the best way forward, the best way to get this person in the rearview mirror for us". He wasn't optimistic that Trump would step down before his term ends on Jan. 20. The White House had no immediate comment on Sunday. The House appears determined to act despite the short span of time. Late Saturday, House Spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. , sent a letter to her colleagues reiterating that Trump must be held accountable. She urged her caucus, now scattered across the country on a two-week hiatus, "be ready to return to Washington this week". "It is imperative that those who perpetrated the attack on our democracy are held accountable," wrote Pelosi. "It must be recognized that this desecration was instigated by the president." Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-tier House Democrat, said, "It may be Tuesday, Wednesday before action is taken, but I think it will be taken." This week. "Clyburn, DS.C., said he was concerned that a Senate trial could distract from the process of confirming President-elect Joe Biden's nominations. Clyburn said one option could be to give Biden the" 100th To give days it takes to get his agenda up and running and maybe sometime after that we will "send the articles to the Senate for trial." He said lawmakers "will take the vote that we should take in the House" and that Pelosi "will make the decision when the best time is". Senator from Kentucky, Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, said an impeachment trial could begin as early as the day of inauguration, Jan. 20. The new democratic effort to stamp Trump's presidential record – for the second time and for the second time before his term ends – with the indelible mark of impeachment is gaining supporters. Rep. David Cicilline, DR.I. has grown to include 185 co-sponsors. Legislators planned to officially launch the proposal on Monday in the house, where impeachment proceedings must be initiated. The articles passed by the House could then be sent to the Senate for negotiation, with the Senators acting as jurors who would ultimately vote on whether Trump should be acquitted or convicted. If convicted, Trump would be removed from office and replaced by the vice president. Possibly complicating this impeachment decision marks the beginning of his presidency for Biden. While Biden reiterated that he had long considered Trump unsuitable for office, he avoided an impeachment question on Friday and said what Congress "should decide for them". A violent and largely white crowd of Trump supporters, overwhelming police, broke the security lines and raged through the Capitol on Wednesday, forcing lawmakers to disperse as they formally touched Biden's victory over Trump in the electoral college. The crowd rose to the domed symbol of American democracy after a rally near the White House Trump reiterated his claims that the election had been stolen from him and urged his supporters to march in force on the Capitol. Five people, including a Capitol police officer, died as a result of the siege. Outrage over the attack and Trump's role in triggering a divisive, chaotic presidency like hardly any other in the nation's history. It will take Trump less than two weeks to step down, but Democrats have made it clear they don't want to wait that long. Trump has few Republicans speaking out on his defense. He is increasingly isolated and hidden in the White House, having been abandoned after the uprising by many aides, Republican leaders and, to date, two cabinet members – both women. Toomey appeared on CNN's State of the Union and NBC's Meet the Press. Clyburn was on Fox News Sunday and CNN.

"This is the piece by which I would like to be remembered," he told his students.
Carved in North Haven granite from the island he loved, the mature artist, Frederick Warren Allen, had finally found his best expression. Solid and heavy like the stone, possessing strength at it's core and emotional power in it's expression, stripped of excess, pared down to the elements of sculptural design as he taught it, refined in it's details; simple, balanced, elegant, finally perfect in his eyes.
Described in American Figurative Sculpture by Greenthal as "massive and impressive," Egyptian Head was on display in the 1939 Worlds Fair, praised as one of the twelve best sculptures exhibited. It is now owned by the Smithsonian American Art Museum in our nation's capitol.
The above comments present the feeling that this head has evoked from those who have viewed it. Here are some additional objective observations. The head is what is called "heroic," which, related to sculpture, means larger than life, but not monumental in size. The carving was done on a boulder brought up from the North Haven beach, which his mind's eye already saw as a strong masculine spirit within the stone. The height of the head is 15.5 inches on a 7.5 inch base, a total of 24 inches.
Also of historical interest is that the Smithsonian, when offered the choice of the Egyptian Head or Nydia (now at Concord Art Association), had consulted with a member of their Art Commission, the well-known sculptor and teacher, Walter Hancock, who was locally connected to New England by the studio he kept in Gloucester, MA. He chose the Egyptian Head, and the Art Commission in the end reached a consensus and approved his choice.
The head is wide at the crown, narrowing down under the base of the skull to balance perfectly on a short thick neck. The work can be seen in its beginning stages mounted on a large block, high on a work stand on the skylit stage of his Tavern Road studio. The shape of the skull has been determined, leaving the weathered shell like a hat. Here he has been working on the details of the face and has cut away some of the stone to clarify the hairline at the level of the neck. He has also begun to give shape to the jaw.
In profile, the man has a pleasingly strong nose, flat and wide at the bridge between thick eyebrows, but nicely shaped at the tip and nostrils. The eyes are large, almost almond in shape and set wide apart. The mouth is generous and the lips full, set in a peaceful straight line with the corners neither turned up, nor down. The chin is not prominent and the forehead is not high. The lobes of the ears are just barely visible under the thick mat of hair that covers his head and the back of his neck. The original darkened surface of the stone is still showing where it curves upward from the base, surrounding his neck like a collar. It is a balanced and handsome face. Perhaps on display it would have presented a better-unified whole if the block that held it if it were darker.
The Egyptian Head remains heroic and Frederick Allen's most powerful work of art.


It might seem like a legal discussion of what constitutes Brady material — information that could prove the innocence of the defendant or impeach the credibility of government witnesses — might be of limited relevance to the real world.
But Brady evidence and the timing of its disclosure to defense counsel has been the linchpin for months in a heated legal dispute, in a number of drug cases involving embattled Nevada County Sheriff's Det. Jason Mackey.
Mackey, a member of the Nevada County Narcotics Task Force, has been under scrutiny for allegations of dishonesty dating back several years. He reportedly was cleared by the Sheriff's Office of any misconduct after a lengthy internal affairs investigation.
Documents pertaining to a DA's Office investigation of Mackey in June 2015, which were recently released to several defense attorneys, have only raised more questions.
What is at stake is the viability of a substantial chunk of the drug cases filed in Nevada County for the last two years.
One "Mackey" case, involving defendant Daniel Potter, recently resolved with a plea agreement that could net Potter 16 months in county jail followed by eight months of post-release community supervision. Potter pleaded no contest to a count of possessing a controlled substance for sale in each of his two cases, one of which allegedly placed him in possession of a half-pound of heroin, $26,000 in cash, seven bottles of suspected liquid methadone and morphine pills.
Right now, there are six felony cases being litigated in court that have Pitchess motions (to access personnel information) or evidence discovery demands relating to Mackey, said Assistant District Attorney Joe Alexander.
Mackey's credibility could be in question with more than just those half-dozen criminal filings.
But just how many cases involving Mackey have been affected is difficult to quantify.
Of note is the marked jump in Pitchess motions filed in the last two years, with local defense attorney Stephen Munkelt noting that this was a legal maneuver rarely practiced in the past.
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office recorded four motions filed on its deputies in 2013, with one in 2014 and three in 2015. This year, there have been 12 Pitchess motions filed that involve its deputies. Staff were unable to specify which deputies were named in the motions, however.
The Grass Valley Police Department saw no Pitchess motions filed in 2015. This year, there have been two, both naming Officer Evan Butler, who serves on the narcotics task force, and both in connection to Mackey cases.
Nevada County Assistant District Attorney Joe Alexander said that his office currently has 75 filed felony drug cases. Of those, he estimated that Mackey played a "significant role" in 25-30, meaning he was the affiant on the search warrant affidavit or was the case agent.
With Mackey continuing to serve as the lead in warrant searches for the Narcotics Task Force, future filings could be vulnerable to similar legal challenges.
And that doesn't count any prior felony drug cases that resulted in convictions based on testimony from Mackey or where the search warrant was authored by Mackey.
Several defense attorneys have accused the DA's Office of improperly withholding the materials it acquired during the truncated investigation of Mackey by then-Assistant District Attorney Glenn Jennings in early 2015.
After attorney Heather Burke filed motions to force the release of documents relating to Mackey, and subpoenaed records from the DA's office, those records were released on Dec. 2.
In a hearing on Dec. 6, Burke told Superior Court Judge Robert Tice-Raskin that she has been seeking that information since January.
In April, Burke continued, District Attorney Cliff Newell had asked Tice-Raskin for a review to determine if a memo regarding Mackey was Brady material.
Tice-Raskin subsequently ordered the release of the memo — but no mention was made in court of the investigation documents.
At the time, Newell told the defense attorneys they would find the information that was being disclosed "woefully disappointing," Burke said, adding that it was Newell's non-compliance with his Brady obligations that was disappointing.
Burke argued that the late disclosure of what could be evidence favorable to the defense — in that it could serve to impeach the credibility of the testifying officer — could lead to dismissal of the case due to outrageous government misconduct.
Alexander, who replaced Jennings, has said that the complaints uncovered by Jennings "didn't rise to the level of criminal conduct" and did not constitute Brady material.
Burke said that the DA's office should be held accountable for the late disclosure, but Alexander argued late disclosure does not necessarily constitute a "Brady" violation.
And, he said, it had not even been determined by the court yet that the documents were exculpatory information.
"We do not skip past that determination and go straight to, how do we punish the prosecution," he said.
Due process requires the disclosure to defense attorneys of Brady material. But in Mackey's case, the DA's Office has repeatedly stated they did not believe the information it had collected during its investigation in 2015 constituted Brady material.
The defense attorneys who received those documents disagree, with Stephen Munkelt writing a letter to DA Cliff Newell regarding what he perceived as an "incorrect standard for disclosure" regarding Mackey.
"The core duty to disclose is defined only by what is potentially favorable or exculpatory, without regard to how critical or trivial it may appear," he wrote.
The standard of materiality is typically defined as whether there was a reasonable probability that the result of the trial would have been different if the exculpatory material had been turned over before trial. But what is favorable to the accused, especially when it comes to impeaching the credibility of the witness, can become murky.
For instance, McGrath said, if there was something in the background or behavior of the peace officer that would affect their credibility, such as lying on warrants.
The admissibility of Brady information is up to the judge, he added.
There is no black and white answer to every Brady issue, McGrath said.
"You need to look at, is the information true?" McGrath said. "If it's not, what was the motivation? Is there an explanation? Is that explanation reasonable? Is it a training issue?
If the State Bar of California has its way, that decision could get a lot simpler.
Nevada City attorney Nanci Clinch has been working for more than two years to help the State Bar of California revise its rules of professional conduct, which ultimately must be approved by the state Supreme Court.
One of the rules involves special responsibilities of a prosecutor — and the commission proposing those rules has specifically added language that clarifies and expands timely disclosure of Brady information.
Typically, an error will only be determined after trial and prosecutors rarely get even a slap on the hand, Clinch said.
The new proposed rule "puts into black and white the rules for full disclosure," she explained, adding that many prosecutors are in favor of the new language because it is more clear-cut, even if it does push them to err on the side of full disclosure.
The commission has been urged to fast-track that particular rule due to its importance, Clinch said.
She added the Board of Trustees of the State Bar of California adopted the commission's proposed rule and directed it be submitted to the Supreme Court of California with a request it be approved.

Mathematics (sometimes referred to as General Math, to distinguish it from other mathematics-related events) is one of several academic events sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League.  It is also a competition held by the Texas Math and Science Coaches Association, using the same rules as the UIL.

Mathematics is designed to test students' understanding of advanced mathematics.  The UIL contest began in 1943, and is among the oldest of all UIL academic contests.

Eligibility
Students in Grade 6 through Grade 12 are eligible to enter this event.  For competition purposes, separate divisions are held for Grades 6-8 and Grades 9-12, with separate subjects covered on each test as follows:
The test for Grades 6-8 covers numeration systems, arithmetic operations involving whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, exponents, order of operations, probability, statistics, number theory, simple interest, measurements and conversions, plus possibly geometry and algebra problems (as appropriate for the grade level).
The test for Grades 9-12 covers algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, math analysis, analytic geometry, pre-calculus, and elementary calculus.

For Grades 6-8 each school may send up to three students per division.  In order for a school to participate in team competition in a division, the school must send three students in that division.

For Grades 9-12 each school may send up to four students; however, in districts with more than eight schools the district executive committee can limit participation to three students per school.  In order for a school to participate in team competition, the school must send at least three students.

Rules and Scoring
At the junior high level, the test consists of 50 questions and is limited to only 30 minutes.  At the high school level, the test consists of 60 questions and is limited to only 40 minutes.  Both tests are multiple choice.

There is no intermediate time signal given; at the end of the allotted time the students must immediately stop writing (they are not allowed to finish incomplete answers started before the stop signal).  If contestants are in the process of writing down an answer, they
may finish; they may not do additional work on a test question.

The questions can be answered in any order; a skipped question is not scored.

Calculators are permitted provided they are (or were) commercially available models, run quietly, and do not require auxiliary power.  One calculator plus one spare is permitted.

Five points are awarded for each correct answer at the junior high level while six points are awarded at the high school level.  Two points are deducted for each wrong answer.  Skipped or unanswered questions are not scored.

Determining the Winner

Elementary and Junior High
Scoring is posted for only the top six individual places and the top three teams.

There are no tiebreakers for either individual or team competition.

High School Level
The top three individuals and the top team (determined based on the scores of the top three individuals) advance to the next round.  In addition, within each region, the highest-scoring second place team from all district competitions advances as the "wild card" to regional competition (provided the team has four members), and within the state, the highest-scoring second place team from all regional competitions advances as the wild card to the state competition.  Members of advancing teams who did not place individually remain eligible to compete for individual awards at higher levels.

For individual competition, the tiebreaker is percent accuracy (number of questions answered correctly divided by number of questions attempted).  If a tie still exists all tied individuals will advance.

For team competition, the score of the fourth-place individual is used as the tiebreaker.  If a team has only three members it is not eligible to participate in the tiebreaker.  If the fourth-place score still results in a tie, all remaining tied teams will advance.  At the state level, ties for first place are not broken.

For district meet academic championship and district meet sweepstakes awards, points are awarded to the school as follows:
Individual places: 1st—15, 2nd—12, 3rd—10, 4th—8, 5th—6, and 6th—4.
Team places: 1st—10 and 2nd—5.
The maximum number of points a school can earn in Mathematics is 47 (15, 12, and 10 points for an individual and 10 points for a top team ranking), though all teams obtaining this number of points is extremely rare.

What Causes a Wall to Bow?
By Renee Miller

Material Needed to Fix a Firewall at Home
Foundation walls bow for a variety of reasons, including water pressure, root penetration and poor construction. Interior drywall panels can also bow due to improper installation or moisture damage. It's possible for most homeowners to repair bowed drywall themselves, but you should contact a qualified contractor to identify and repair the cause of bowed foundation walls.
Among the most common causes of a bowing concrete wall is water pressure, which can push upward or horizontally against the wall. In regions that don't experience freezing winter temperatures, water pressure is typically caused by excessive moisture in the soil. This can be caused by damaged or malfunctioning gutters and downspouts, broken water pipes, a high water table, significantly high rainfall or dense clay soil that tends to retain water. Installing a sump pump and waterproofing your home's foundation will limit the damaging effects of water on the foundation walls. Moisture can also cause drywall panels to bow and often leads to mold and mildew growth. Address the source of the moisture before replacing the drywall to prevent further damage. For example, if you have a plumbing leak, contact a plumber to fix the problem, then remove the bowed panels and replace with new ones.
If you have trees or shrubs growing near the foundation of your home, the roots may be causing the walls to bow. Some roots can exert a lot of pressure against walls, and many of these can grow long distances. Even if the tree or shrub isn't planted directly next to the foundation, the root can still be a problem. A professional can investigate the extent of damage, confirm that it is caused by tree roots, and repair the wall.
Soil and Settling
Soil can shift naturally, and when your footers are installed on loose material, they may shift over time as the soil settles beneath the weight of the foundation. This can apply lateral force to foundation walls, which can cause bowing. Some soils, such as clay, expand when wet, and this can exert pressure on the walls as well. If you notice horizontal cracks as well as bowing, your foundation may be giving way under the pressure of the soil and should be inspected by a qualified contractor.
Just like your siding and your roof, your home's foundation walls need maintenance. Without it, the concrete will break down over time. Have your foundation inspected and repaired by a qualified contractor, and reapply waterproofing coatings to the concrete periodically. These coatings break down, so they won't last forever. Once the concrete is exposed to moisture, its structural integrity may be impaired. Signs of water infiltration include bowing as well as discoloration of the concrete, cracks and water seepage.
A bowing foundation wall or interior wallboard may be the result of poor construction. If your foundation was built in inadequate conditions, or the contractor was rushed and took shortcuts, issues can occur later on. For example, the wrong size sill plate will create lateral pressure on the wall. If the trench is backfilled before the concrete has cured, bowing can occur as the soil pushes the unstable material inward. Drywall panels can also suffer from poor construction. For example, if drywall panels aren't sized properly, and a panel is forced into an opening that is too small, it cannot contact the framing properly. To correct this, remove the panel and trim it so it fits properly, then reinstall the panel.

Hi all, so the last time I made a blog post was over a year ago, clearly I haven't got the hang of making posts yet! But it's been a busy year. I gave birth to my first, a wonderful baby boy. Alhamdulillah!
After having a baby, a bigger living space was needed so we've had to move into a bigger apartment which for me means... new interior! This has got me super excited with buying, decorating and maybe even DIY projects (a little bit like the ones you see on Pinterest). I'm not too sure which direction I'll be going in but hopefully it works.

Q: Is it necessary to apply to anywhere other than to add a file as LICENSE.txt for open source or free software licensing? I am going to continue a game engine project I didn't engage in for a long time.I amatourly writed some core libraries using OpenGL with C++. Because I am not that into programming in general, I am asking this silly question about software licensing. If I want to license my program ,for example, with zlib, is it enough just to include the formal manifesto(full text of the license) in source code itself or add it as a seperate text file on root folder and put on github? If no, should I additionally apply to any formal foundation etc.?
Edit : I have tried to make the question as clear as possible. If the question is still not clear or any grammatical mistake exists, warn me.

A: I am not a lawyer. You should get one, if you are concerned about possible legal issues.

You have to include a copyright notice (a 'manifesto', if you will) to each file that contains your work.
That 'manifesto' shall consist of:

*

*A line Copyright © <years> <owner>.
Where <years> are years when this very file was created and substantially modified; you've said that you did not work on the project for a long time, so it might look like 2008, 2015 for example; do not use range (2008–2015) unless the file was modified every year.
<owner> is who holds exclusive rights on this very file. The authors are owners if they did not transfer rights to someone else. An employee typically transfer his copyright on the work his paid for to an employer by terms of contract or (in many countries) by the law. So if you was working on the project during your work hours, you would better check that your employer does not claim copyright on it.

*Either ⓐ the full text of a license in the case of short permissive licenses, e. g.: BSD licenses (2 clause, 3 clause), X11, Expat, zlib licenses; or ⓑ something that refers to the full text: Apache License v2 (see under APPENDIX), GNU licenses (see under 'How to apply...' in the GNU GPL) and other long and well-written free/libre licenses; also WTFPL :-), which is a sort of parody on complicated copyright licenses.
When ⓑ you have to put the full legal text of a license in the file COPYING or LICENSE in the root of code repository usually; when ⓐ this in optional and does not make any sense from a legal point of view, but often considered a good habit since it helps to detect the license automatically, especially when a code hosting service does not have, like GitHub, a field for license in project properties.
You probably would also want to mention copyright terms briefly in README file.
I also have to note with regret, that many amateur free software developers neglects these legal technicalities, please do not take them as an example.

A: The standard way to apply a license to a software is to put the full license text in a file called LICENSE or COPYING included with the source code and then put a short notice in a comment at the top of each source file (naming the copyright date, holder, license and saying where to find the full text of the license).
GPLv3 requires that if the program does terminal interaction, it also has to output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
  This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
  under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.

If the license you want to apply doesn't have specific instructions (e.g. zlib) OSI suggests to follow the Apache License / GPLv3 instructions.
According to Github a LICENSE file in the root of the repository is enough (see Where does the license live on my repository? and I already have a project with a license file, do I need to do anything?).
Further details:

*

*Applying the Apache License, Version 2.0

To apply the ALv2 to a new software distribution, include one copy of the license text by copying the file:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
into a file called LICENSE in the top directory of your distribution.
[...]
Each original source document (code and documentation, but excluding the
  LICENSE and NOTICE files) SHOULD include a short license header
  at the top.

*How to Apply GPL v3 Terms to Your New Programs

*I want to use the Mozilla Public License for software that I have written. What do I have to do?

To apply the Mozilla Public License to software that you have
    written, add the header from Exhibit A of the license to each source
    code file in your project. Sample headers for various commenting
    styles are available here.
    You may also add additional accurate notices of copyright ownership, such as the name of the copyright holder, but this is not necessary.

U.S. demands results from China
Published: March 14, 2006 at 2:04 p.m. ET
U.S. may have to reassess relationship with Beijing, Gutierrez says
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The Bush administration warned Beijing on Tuesday that the United States is increasingly fed up with China's closed markets and rampant theft of intellectual property.
Good intentions from China are no longer enough. "Our focus is on results," said Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez in a speech to the Asia Society on Tuesday. See full speech.
"Without concrete results, the administration, and the American people, may be forced to reassess our economic relationship," he said.
Gutierrez's speech is the latest in a series of warnings from Washington to Beijing.
Gutierrez complained that U.S. firms do not have fair access to Chinese markets. He also noted that China has 30,000 cops policing the Internet but has arrested very few pirates who steal U.S.-made software, music and movies, or counterfeiters who make phony drugs, auto parts and electrical equipment.
"In the case of software, our trade deficit is being depressed by nothing short of criminal activity," he said.
As part of his "candid assessment" of the trade relationship, Gutierrez warned of rising protectionist sentiments in Congress.
"Without results, I'm afraid Congress may go down a path that none of us want," Gutierrez said.
"When China fails to act, it only strengthens those who want to build protectionist barriers around the U.S. market," Gutierrez said. "That's the last thing we need."
Pending legislation would impose tariffs of 27.5% on all Chinese imports unless China revalues its currency.
The Chinese have maintained the peg of their currency to the U.S. dollar by buying hundreds of billions of dollars worth of U.S. assets, including Treasurys, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The buying is a major reason for the relatively low real U.S. interest rates. See Today's Rates.
Gutierrez spoke just hours after his department reported the U.S. current account deficit widened to 6.4% of U.S. gross domestic product, totaling $805 billion. See full story.
The U.S. trade deficit with China grew by 24% in 2005 to $201.6 billion, more than a quarter of the total trade gap, government data show.
Gutierrez said the administration believes that "substantial progress" on protecting U.S. intellectual property rights and opening Chinese markets would reduce the trade deficit.
Manufacturing groups, labor leaders and others have argued that China has manipulated the value of its currency to keep its products cheap and American products expensive. They say the Chinese yuan, or renminbi, is undervalued by as much as 40%.
The Treasury Department's semiannual report on currency manipulation is due out in April, but will likely be released in May or later, after the scheduled visit of Chinese President Hu Jintao to the United States in April.
There are suggestions that the Treasury Department would officially brand China as a currency manipulator, which would automatically trigger intense negotiations to avert punitive tariffs.
Faith plus action really works. So today, let's develop our own "Five Faith-Based Rules of Getting Rich." I've got some ideas. I'll lay 'em out, you refine 'em.

Q: Valgrind shows "Invalid read of size 8" while reading file I have a simple method which is searching for exact values in the vectors (data obtained from file) or interpolating the not existing once. I have been running this program many times before and it was working and suddenly it's not.
The code:
double  Integr::F(double x_val, double q2_val){

    int i=0;
    bool interpolate_x=0, interpolate_q=0;

    vector<double>::iterator it = begin(x_f);
    for(; it != end(x_f) ; it += 201){

        if(*it == x_val){
            interpolate_x = 0;
            break;
        }
        else if(*it > x_val){
            interpolate_x = 1;
            break;
        }
        i += 201;
    }

    it = begin(q2)+i;
    for(; it != end(q2) ; ++it){

        if(*it == q2_val){
            interpolate_q = 0;
            break;
        }
        else if(*it > q2_val){
            interpolate_q = 1;
            break;
        }
        ++i;
    }
    double f1, f2;
    if(interpolate_x){

        f1 = Interpolate::interpolate(f[i], f[i-201], x_f[i], x_f[i-201], x_val);
        f2 = Interpolate::interpolate(f[i-1], f[i-202], x_f[i-1], x_f[i-202], x_val);
        if(!interpolate_q) return f1;
        else{
            return Interpolate::interpolate(f1, f2, q2[i], q2[i-1], q2_val);
        }
    }
    if(interpolate_q){

        return Interpolate::interpolate(f[i], f[i-1], q2[i], q2[i-1], q2_val);
    }
    else return f[i];
}

Firstly, valgrind shows:
==4138== Invalid read of size 8
==4138== at 0x4021C8: Integr::F(double, double) (Integr.cpp:81)

and it points to the last line in the above method:
else return f[i];

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
[EDIT]
Method reading from file:
void Data::read_File() {

    if(file.good() == true){

        double tmp1, tmp2, tmp3;
        int i=0;
        while(!file.eof()) {
            ++i;
            file >> tmp1;
            file >> tmp2;
            file >> tmp3;
            x.push_back(tmp1);
            q.push_back(tmp2);
            f.push_back(tmp3);
            cout << i << endl;
        }
        file.close();

    } else cout << "Access denied! \n";

Britain has just 160,000 or so native red squirrels. About 75% of them live in Scotland's woodlands, parks and gardens.
Red squirrels rely on a range of woodland habitats, from conifer forest to broadleaf woodland. They feed, nest and breed in trees and need good amounts of well-managed woodland to survive. Changes to either the type of tree or the design of the woodland can significantly affect populations.
Where suitable habitat is patchy, red squirrel populations can become isolated from each other and/or their food sources. There may also be a higher risk of predation where animals are forced to cross open ground.
Loss of woodland in the past has caused difficulties for red squirrels, but our woodlands are currently expanding.
The biggest problem is the grey squirrel, introduced from North America in the late 19th and early 20th century. Sadly, the grey squirrel out-competes the smaller, more specialised red squirrel across much of its range. Once widespread, our native species was soon lost from most of England and Wales.
Grey squirrels also brought with them diseases that presented new threats to red squirrels, most notably squirrelpox. Fatal to red squirrels, this virus is currently found only in south Scotland. But it has proved very hard to contain and the rest of the Scottish population is at risk.
Squirrelpox is possibly the single greatest risk to the future of red squirrels in Scotland.
The red squirrel was one of the first species identified as needing urgent action as a UK Biodiversity Action Plan priority terrestrial mammal species. In 2007, we included it on our Species Action Framework. The Scottish Strategy for Red Squirrel Conservation was updated in 2015.
Our main action has been to support the Saving Scotland's Red Squirrel (SSRS) project as a partner. SSRS has greatly improved our knowledge of red and grey squirrel populations.
Growing evidence tells us red squirrels have benefited from this work, and the challenge now is to how protect Scotland's red squirrels in the long-term.
Forestry Commission Scotland is one of many partners involved in developing 18 public and private forest areas, and the Isle of Arran, as red squirrel stronghold sites. It provides guidance and advice on managing the sites for red squirrels.
The Saving Scotland's Red Squirrels and UK Red Squirrel Group are also vital sources of ideas and support for red squirrel conservation work.

The workshop "Real-world laboratories as a tool for a participatory energy transition: advances, methods and international cases" is the 4th energy & society conference: Energy Transitions in a divided world". It takes place 03-05 September 2018 in Exeter, UK.
The goal of the workshop is to advance international research efforts surrounding real-world laboratories (real-world labs) by systematizing and comparing results, approaches and reflections from different case studies.
The workshop concept stems from the inter- and transdisciplinary ENavi-Project ("Navigational system for the energy transition", funded by BMBF – Ministry for Education and Research, Germany).
The global energy transition is in need of innovative bottom-up approaches to involve citizens and change agents, researchers and policy actors alike in order to foster cooperative transition designs; real-world labs offer a new approach to do so. Recent developments in transition research pinpoint to various concepts of cooperative transformation designs, like real-world labs, transdisciplinary projects, and other collaborative research efforts. All of which claim to support the idea of the sustainability transition as a democratic citizens' project.
However, as this "transformative research" (Schneidewind 2015; WBGU 2011) emerges, new challenges arise: how to design co-creation and co-design efforts within a research project, how does the nature of the relationship between researchers and practitioners change, how "normative" should and can science be, and how to maintain methodological integrity, to name just a few. Moreover, the topics these real-world labs tackle are often local in nature, but global in meaning, with the former often leading to a very local focus of the project team, where a global perspective is needed when it comes to disseminating lessons learned.
This workshop provides a place for bringing together international perspectives on transformative research in the form of real-world labs. Participants will discuss case studies and to compare approaches and results, they will be encouraged to identify challenges and advantages, key actors and necessary resources that constitute a real-world lab approach in their respective fields.
The speakers are invited to present and compare case studies, using a uniform analysis scheme. This structural scheme follows the strategic management template "Business Model Canvas". This guiding tool may increase comparability of diverse case studies of real-world labs. The comparative analysis will be collaboratively developed with the workshop coordinators and discussed with the speakers in advance.
We invite scholars working in the field of collaborative transition projects with various empirical subjects (including, but not limited to, transport, energy transition, higher education, water management, urban planning). Presentations may focus on methodological challenges, empirical findings, innovative transdisciplinary approaches and/ or epistemological reflections.
The workshop concept stems from the inter- and transdisciplinary ENavi-Project ("Navigational system for the energy transition", funded by BMBF – Ministry for Education and Research, Germany). This project is the largest research consortium for energy research in the social sciences in Germany. It explicitly aims at involving stakeholders, change agents and citizens in the research activities.
This call for abstracts aims at including additional innovative and novel projects and networks into the workshop set-up, facilitating conceptual exchange and networking opportunities for this new research area.
The workshop "Real-world laboratories as a tool for a participatory energy transition: advances, methods and international cases" has been accepted from the Energy & Society network as being part of the 4th energy & society conference "Energy Transitions in a divided world" which takes place 03-05 September 2018 in Exeter, UK.


Gillam Group Inc. (GGI) may have only been incorporated in April 2011, but the construction management company represents the culmination of decades of hard work and experience on major capital projects. GGI's founders formed the company after establishing a strong reputation in the institutional, commercial and industrial market sectors working for some of the country's leading general contractors. The GGI team takes pride in delivering complex projects within a framework of transparency, teamwork and trust.
"We strive to be a user-friendly business, providing a sophisticated service," says Marcus Gillam, president and CEO of GGI. "Most importantly we listen closely to our clients to determine their unique needs." Gillam is a professional engineer by training, bringing a penchant for preconstruction services to GGI along with a breadth of experience from having worked his way up from project estimator to executive at one of the country's largest general contracting companies. During his 18-year tenure at a previous company, Gillam helped steer progress on major capital investment projects like the redevelopment of Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto, along with a number of public-private partnership (P3) projects.
The GGI team today leverages the experience of its executives to deliver projects with exceptional capability, taking an informed approach to every challenge. The company emphasizes the importance of making progress through preconstruction services, planning out every stage to mitigate risks and coordinating teams to work most efficiently.
The company's emphasis on preconstruction services is not unusual considering the professional accomplishments of its executives. Joel Parke, vice president of preconstruction at GGI, brings over 35 years of experience in preconstruction planning and management, along with 15 "Best of the Best" awards from the Toronto Construction Association and a reputation for promoting a high level of communication and awareness in the industry. Parke's portfolio includes major Toronto landmarks like Union Station and the Royal Ontario Museum, along with P3 projects, hotels, universities, manufacturing facilities and many others types of projects.
Similarly, Temple Harris, vice chairman at GGI, joined the company after almost 20 years of service as the president and CEO of the Toronto Construction Association. Harris contributes a keen eye for business development and communications, ensuring GGI brings together the industry's best and brightest for long-term success.
GGI specializes in construction management and project management, but the company can also oversee projects in a design-build or general contracting capacity. The GGI team prides itself on forging long-term relationships with clients by protecting and respecting the interests of clients throughout the process and incorporating principles of sustainability into every project. Integrity, efficiency and a safe work environment are stressed at all times, so GGI can foster a nonadversarial and anti-claims oriented culture and deliver projects on time, on budget and of exceptional quality.
Though still a young company, GGI has managed to make its mark early on in the institutional, commercial and residential market sectors. GGI will begin work on a major addition to Branksome Hall in summer 2012. The all-girl private school was founded in 1903 and continues to be one of the country's highest ranked education institutions, but the campus' disparate elements and age prompted the school to develop a new master plan with the help of &Co Architects (&Co). The addition was designed by MJM Architects and will feature a swimming pool, gymnasium, cafeteria, running track and dance studio.
"We came onto the project during the very earliest stages to build something that the school can afford and support in a way that is consistent with what we have learned from P3 projects," expands Gillam. Following in the P3 tradition, trade contractors will be brought on early, and any component that could be prefabricated or premanufactured was sourced, prepared and will arrive on-site, well before it is required for construction.
The building was designed to target LEED Silver certification with high efficiency systems and eco-friendly building materials, but the space was also designed to make the most of the campus sweeping views of Rosedale Valley. A clerestory and wide south-facing windows flood the interior with daylight.
The company is also working on the construction of a luxury mixed-use development along the waterfront in Barrie, Ontario, combining a hotel and condominium residences with retail space at street level. The West Lakefront Hotel and Private Residences will help re-energize lakefront living in Barrie by capitalizing on the area's urban appeal with amenities like a rooftop pool that joins the building's two towers, ample underground parking, and the area's proximity to Toronto. "The residential units are almost completely sold out at this point," says Gillam.
GGI also landed a contract to oversee the construction of the Deer River Resort and Spa in September 2011. The property is located in the heart of Ontario's lake lands, positioned strategically within driving distance of five major Canadian cities: Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston and Barrie. The resort has been developed for multigenerational appeal, bringing together the best of lakeside living, personal wellness and sustainability, with a focus on cardiovascular health.
GGI plans to pursue further projects in the institutional, commercial and industrial market as the company builds momentum and forges lasting customer relationships through passionate, proactive service. Gillam Group Inc.'s team of experienced and enthusiastic professionals will help prove that a tailored approach, transparency and teamwork are essential to success.

Lately, Londoners have gone ape for Aperol Spritz, one of the classic drinks traditionally taken by Italians during aperitivo hour – a civilised post-work phenomenon that is gaining traction here, as numerous watering holes start to spread the joy. Russell Norman's reimagining of the old Marquis of Granby (a landmark Victorian boozer) has recently joined the party, offering a full range of appetising tipples to go with bar nibbles from £3 a pop. The drinks list promises a familiar line-up of well-tried sips – Americanos, Negronis, Bellinis, currently trendy Cynar gin fizz and more besides – while solid sustenance comes in the form of various ciccheti snacks ranging from crab arancini to smoked salmon, dill and horseradish crostini. Like the louche, Dickensian Dive Bar below, the cut-price interior is true to Russell Norman's distressed lo-fi ethos.

Why digital advertising needs a reboot
By David Wood2018-08-30T14:23:00+01:00
In the wake of Cambridge Analytica and a growing number of serious corporate data misuse scandals, Mary Keane-Dawson is one of a growing number of voices arguing for a revolution in way that personal data is mined, processed and traded in advertising.
Mary Keane-Dawson is many things. A digital evangelist, entrepreneur, business mentor, executive coach, ad industry boss and co-founder of Truth – an agency which aims to set a new benchmark for the relationship between brands, the advertising industry and the consumer.
Mary Keane-Dawson
A highly respected figure in the world of advertising and ad tech, she has helped brands such as Mazda, Ford, John Lewis, BUPA, IBM, Nestle and British Gas to navigate the fast-changing digital landscape.
While many ad industry senior executives are firmly in favour of the status quo, Keane-Dawson argues that the advertising industry is in dire need of a fundamental reset. She says we have sleepwalked into a technology-driven advertising economy where individuals' internet search data is routinely used to target, interrupt, irritate and alienate the people to whom it belongs.
"When I think of the last 15-20 years in advertising I think 'how did we get here?' It's not the best experience for consumers to be basically stalked by advertisers," she says.
"The broadcast advertising market has been turned on its head, from a mass medium to a point where it's all about personalisation and one-to-one targeting. All the evidence suggests that 60% of the public are unhappy with the way they are being bombarded."
"I have been thinking about his for a long time and my conclusion is that the entire digital advertising ecosystem needs a reboot. People have become the product and we are alienating consumers from brands through the methodology we are employing. That's very dangerous. I think the whole industry needs a reset. And I don't mean a mild reset. It needs a highly disruptive reset."
Fresh thinking
Keane-Dawson hopes her agency Truth is the way forward. Truth has launched a blockchain-enabled GDPR-compliant marketplace enabling consumers to take back control of their personal data.
Blockchain-powered personal data looks like the answer to Keane-Dawson because it's a shared resource that belongs to no-one.
Truth proposes to openly reward consumers for transparent, permission-based use of their personal data. The ambition is to sweep away the lack of transparency, bad practice and fraud which goes on under the cover of the opaque complexity of data processing to regain the faith that brands and consumers alike have lost in media.
"Blockchain may be called something else in two to three years but it will remain a system by which you can securely have a personal data wallet which you own and can then collate and aggregate," she explains. "You can use it to anonymously engage with advertisers in a GDPR-compliant environment. You will be offered discounts and special deals – and the individual is empowered."
If all data is commissioned in this way then you can build the next generation of consumer-engaging technology, declares Keane-Dawson.
'Those guys at Cambridge Analytica never thought about the person – it was all about 'isn't this a clever thing we can do''
"The challenge is for us to begin to shift from the clever use of AI in big data networks to the more responsible use of the huge amount of information that a handful of powerful companies hold about our internet habits.
"When Google came along it made paid-for search the most important channel for advertisers," she continues. "Now we need to bring the consumer into that trading relationship. We have to recognise that personal data belongs to individuals, not to Google or Facebook or anybody else for that matter."
According to Keane-Dawson, that's become a more strongly held view and it's going to be the key battleground of the next decade.
"With more and more companies using artificial intelligence to manipulate data and sell it, there will be more and more questions about the rights of individuals to control the use of it.
"That's why blockchain affords us a revolutionary model," she adds. "Based around decentralised apps and technologies, it's much more aligned to the original principles of the internet– democratisation, empowerment and education rather than the emergence of a new generation of powerful organisations built on personal data mining."
Of course, another way of tackling the problem of misuse of data is stricter regulation, but it's an approach which is less likely to be successful, declares Keane-Dawson.
"The biggest problem with regulation is that it's written by people who don't understand the industry," she says. "Take GDPR (the European law on data protection) – it was written four years ago and focussed on the desktop; since then mobile has grown hugely. Regulation will always struggle to keep up with the rapid evolution of technology".
'It's the equivalent of crack cocaine – technology on my phone requiring me to spend hours a day creating content for other companies to monetise'
Awkward questions
Keane-Dawson has always stood out from the crowd, partly because of her fearless streak. In meetings early on in her career she was never afraid to ask the questions nobody else seemed to want to ask.
"Rather than just being a sponge in meetings and agreeing with the most senior person in the room, I wasn't afraid to ask the question that was on everyone's mind," she explains of her early days.
Fearlessness and hard work saw her rise quickly through the ranks of companies such as Redwood Publishing to run companies such as airline agency SPAFAX (now part of WPP), search marketing agency Steak, and digital marketing agency Neo@Ogilvy.
Over the course of her career to date, she has spent a lot of time helping companies seeking digital transformation, a process which she declares gets tougher the bigger you are. One reason the large companies find it particularly hard to change is the super tanker analogy – big objects find it harder to change direction than small ones.
Also, big companies often have innate cultural conservatism and display unhelpful characteristics such as 'groupthink' – conformist thinking in which executives conform to pre-existing ideas rather than coming up with new ways of solving problems.
"What I have learned about digital is that being fleet of foot is the key because we have no idea what's around the corner," she says.
Keane-Dawson's view is that media has been through a period of intense disruption and has now ended up on a plateau where digital has prevailed, but the consumer has been side-lined.
"When did we stop talking about consumers and customers and investing in our relationship with them and start talking about impressions?" she asks.
"The unintended consequence of digital is that it has succeeded in creating a very de-humanised view of what the customer is. Those guys at Cambridge Analytica never thought about the person – it was all about 'isn't this a clever thing we can do'."
A fundamental reboot of advertising also poses serious questions for social networks such as Facebook, which make a lot of money from the collection and marketing of personal data.
"Don't get me wrong - Facebook makes a lot of people happy," admits Keane-Dawson. "But I am concerned that it's the equivalent of crack cocaine – technology on my phone requiring me to spend hours a day creating content for other companies to monetise."

Oddly enough, not a single one of these donations turns up in the "other monetary" disclosure section of Mychajliw's campaign account.
Cusack's donations from 2012 show up nowhere in Mychajliw's reports from that time. (11 day pre-primary, 10 day post-primary).
In June and early July, there is $198 from the campaign funds of Judge Howe, $250 from Guy Marlette, and $5,500 from ECGOP and the West Seneca town committee.
In July 2013, we have a $250.00 contribution from M&T PAC.
In August 2013, there is $250 from Ranzenhofer's campaign, and another $300 from Howe's.
In late August and early September, there is $300 from the Clarence and Boston committees, and $150 from National Fuel Gas PAC.
Later in September, we have $250 from John Mills' campaign, and $100 from David DiPietro's campaign, and $100 from an Amherst political club.
Mid-October brings a contribution of $500 from Guy Marlette's treasury, and $1000 from the ECGOP.
I have omitted some unreported donations (Kevin Hardwick, Tom Wik) because they were under the $100 threshold for reporting itemized donations. However, the amounts shown above are disclosed by their donors, but not disclosed by the recipient, as required by law.
Regionalism and government downsizing advocate and attorney Kevin Gaughan will likely replace Lynn Szalkowski, and run as Democratic candidate for Erie County Comptroller against Stefan Mychajliw.
The decision will be made final later this week.
Erie County Comptroller candidate Lynn Szalkowski dropped out yesterday, the day petitions were due. Her name appeared on Democratic nominating petitions that have been circulated throughout Erie County for the past several weeks because she was the candidate whom the party had recruited to run. As it turns out, she had second thoughts and effectively dropped out of the race weeks ago. That posed a problem for the party, because the only way to keep the ballot line alive for November would be to keep circulating her petitions and then let a committee replace her when she formally drops out. That's what's about to happen in the next week or so.
Just about every news story everywhere has made the point that Ms. Szalkowski has suffered some personal tragedies in recent weeks, and that she may also have some sort of personal health issue. While her Facebook page shows her doing fun things with friends and her kids, that doesn't necessarily mean she isn't also tackling some sort of health problem. People live with chronic pain and disease all the time yet are still able to go out and maintain some semblance of a normal life – it doesn't mean they also have the energy or will to go out and attend every chicken BBQ and every fundraiser and every debate as part of a grueling, months-long campaign for a countywide office.
So, when she dropped out yesterday, her putative opponent, incumbent Stefan Mychajliw, took to Facebook to comment on the situation. Before becoming Comptroller, Mychajliw was the owner of a public relations firm. As a public relations professional, I would likely counsel a candidate to take the high road, and leave the backhanded smacks and insults for surrogates.
I am disappointed to learn that Ms. Szalkowski has decided not to accept her party's nomination to run for Erie County Comptroller on the Democratic line. I am proud of my accomplishments over the last several months, and looked forward to a lively campaign on the issues. I wish Ms. Szalkowski and her family well, and look forward to running a positive campaign against whomever the Democrats select as their candidate.
Because, honestly, Mychajliw shouldn't necessarily care who runs against him, or what the internal Democratic party machinations and intrigue might be. He is running to win in November, and he'll take all comers, right?
I don't quite understand why this makes Mr. Mychajliw so upset, and why he didn't so much as wish Ms. Szalkowski well, whatever his feelings are about the legal process that results from a candidate dropping out of a race. The party committee recruited Szalkowski, and it will now have to recruit someone else. It's really six of one, half-dozen of the other, and Mychajliw's Facebook excreta seems utterly classless to me.
Maybe Mychajliw's office could trick a custodian into letting them into the locked basement room in the Rath Building where the Democrats keep all the Comptroller candidates.
Why don't any qualified people want the job of interim Erie County Comptroller? Is it the pay, the politics, or something altogether different? This isn't the kind of job where you just insert some ex-politician or hack as a patronage "thank you"; it requires a genuine and deep understanding of government finance.
Suffice it to say that none of the names you may have been hearing are going anywhere near that job.
It's that time of year again. The time when the county has to borrow money to get capital projects rolling, and the control board demands that it and only it do the borrowing. On this point, the comptroller and county executive are aligned – they don't want the control board to do the borrowing.
As a matter of fact, last year the control board had egg by the bucketload on its face because when it came time for it to actually accomplish the borrowing it promised to do for cheaper, it couldn't seal the deal, and the comptroller did it anyway.
In this case, we have $89 million in infrastructure projects waiting to go – a veritable local stimulus opportunity – and the control board is holding up the entire thing for some inexplicable reason – whether it be a fit of pique, to avoid killing the job for it or its staff/vendors, or just to stick it to Collins and Poloncarz.
To top it off, if the control board does the borrowing, it gets to exist for 20 – 30 more happy go-lucky years. Oh, and when it bleats on and on about how much it can save the taxpayers, it conveniently omits the cost of bond insurance.
The control board was instituted, you may recall, to provide "adult supervision" over Erie County finances. If county government was an undisciplined toddler, the state brought together a group of less-disciplined infants to supervise them. In 2007, the control board's people tried to sabotage the county's own deal, and were never able to actually prove up their argument that they could save the taxpayers so much as a red cent.
County government may be a dysfunctional anachronism, but the county control board is, and has ever been, a joke.
Unfortunately for us, it's a joke that costs us $1 million per year and has little to show for itself.

Sculptor Gego closes Brazil museum's year of women artists
Written by Polina

São Paulo survey at Masp shows work by one of the leading figures of the 1950s kinetic and geometric abstraction movement
A major survey devoted to Gertrud Goldschmidt, better known as Gego, will conclude the Museum of Art of São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand's year-long series of exhibitions and symposia dedicated to women artists from the 16th century to today.
Gego was born in Hamburg and later studied architecture and engineering in Stuttgart before fleeing Nazi persecution in 1939 and settling in Caracas, Venezuela, where she lived for the rest of her life. Although she was a leading figure of the kinetic and geometric abstraction movement of the 1950s and exhibited internationally during her lifetime, she "remained a peripheric figure in the history of art for most her career", says the show's curator Pablo León de La Barra. "Research developed after her death, together with the revalorisation of the work of artists who acted outside hegemonic circuits of art validation, especially women, have shed a new light of her work."
The artist developed a signature parallax effect that makes her sculptures appear to be in motion. She made her most famous series of works, Reticulárea, meaning an "area of tiny nets", from 1969 to 1976. The sculptures were made using aluminium and steel components fixed together to create expansive wire grids that are suspended from the ceiling. Gego called her sculptures "drawings without paper".
The exhibition brings together works from the mid-1940s to the early 1990s, including sculpture, drawings, prints, textiles, site-specific installations and archival photographs. It fits into the museum's curatorial programme this year "not only because Gego explicitly demonstrated feminist ideas in her work, but precisely because, as a female artist, she was able to develop her own particular practice in a predominantly male-dominated context", León de La Barra says.
The museum has also mounted a parallel show of recent work and new commissions by the contemporary Portuguese sculptor Leonor Antunes, whose work has been influenced by Gego. In 2014, Antunes also created an indoor pavilion honouring Gego and the architect Lina Bo Bardi at the Bronx Museum in New York.
The Gego exhibition will travel to the Museo Jumex in Mexico City next year and then to the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona and Tate Modern in London. The main sponsors of the show are Le Fosse, Price Waterhouse Coopers and Iguatemi.
