Q: Advice on repairing the errors in this C++ void function for a homework problem I am a college student looking for help on picking up the messy bits in this code I've worked on for class. I believe there's an error in this code that CodeBlocks is finicky with.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
void func1();
void func2();
int main()
{
    int num1, num2;
    double num3;
    int choice;
    cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);
    do
    {
        func1();
        cin >> choice;
        cout << endl;
        if (choice == 1)
        {
           func2(num1, num2, num3);
           cout << num1 << ", " << num2 << ", " << num3 << endl;
        }
    }
    while (choice != 99);
    return 0;
 }
void func1()
{
    cout << "To run the program, enter 1." << endl;
    cout << "To exit the program, enter 99." << endl;
    cout << "Enter 1 or 99: ";
}
void func2(int num1, int num2, double num3)
{

    cout << "input 2 bumners a and b";
    cin >> num1;
    cin >> num2;

    if (num1 >= num2){
      num3 = pow(num1, num2);
    }
    else if (num1 < num2){
      num3 = pow(num2, num1);
    }
    else if (num1 != 0 && num2 == 0){
      num3 = sqrt(abs(num1));
    }
    else if (num2 != 0 && num1 == 0){
      num3 = sqrt(abs(num2));
    }
    else if (num1 == 0 && num2 == 0){
      num3 = 0;
    }
}

A: Your func2() accepts parameters by value; whatever you do to those parameters is not visible outside of that function (when it returns). You should pass by reference.
void func2(int& num1, int& num2, double& num3)

A: This code isn't too hard to debug. I just tried compiling it, and I was told the error existed at line 6. Here's what you have to do:
Make sure you put in the correct parameters when you declare void func2() at line 6. It should have these parameters: (int num1, int num2, double num3).
The parameters must be the same when you declare the function and when you define the function, otherwise the defined function is never declared.

Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin Dies at 76
Black History Entertainment Featured Women's History
Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin died on August 16, 2018. The Grammy Award-winning artist was 76.
NNPAFreddie
By Stacy M. Brown (NNPA Newswire Contributor)
Aretha Franklin, arguably the greatest voice in music history, has died.
The Queen of Soul was 76.
"She will be so missed as a mother, sister, friend, cousin," said longtime friend Roger Friedman, who also covered the Queen of Soul for decades and originally broke the story about her cancer fight on showbiz411.com.
"Her legacy is larger than life," Friedman said. "It's not just that 'Rolling Stone' called her the No. 1 singer of all time, or that she's the Queen of Soul. Long live the Queen."
Franklin passed away at her home on Thursday, August 16.
"The NNPA profoundly mourns the passing of our beloved 'Sister Leader' and Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin," said NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. "Her creative genius was matched by her steadfast courage as a freedom-fighting singer and leader for civil rights. Black America and all people of goodwill throughout the world will miss her, but her legacy will never be forgotten."
Dr. Chavis continued: "Long live the spirit and legacy of Queen Aretha Franklin."
Dorothy Leavell, the chairman of the NNPA and publisher of the Crusader newspapers in Chicago and Gary, Ind., said that she was saddened by the loss of the music icon.
"I send a message of sadness and respect for our beloved Queen whose musical genius [shined brightly] and resounded around the world," Leavell said.
The fourth of five children, Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Baptist preacher Reverend Clarence La Vaughan "C.L." Franklin and Barbara Siggers Franklin, a gospel singer, according to her biography.
Franklin's musical gifts became apparent at an early age. Largely self-taught, she was regarded as a child prodigy. A gifted pianist with a powerful voice, Franklin got her start singing in front of her father's congregation.
By the age of 14, she had recorded some of her earliest tracks at his church, which were released by a small label as the album "Songs of Faith" in 1956. She also performed with C.L.'s traveling revival show and, while on tour, befriended gospel greats such as Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke and Clara Ward.
Hitting her stride in 1967 and 1968, Franklin churned out a string of hit singles that would become enduring classics, showcasing Franklin's powerful voice and gospel roots in a pop framework.
In 1967, the album "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" was released, and the first song on the album, "Respect"—an empowered cover of an Otis Redding track—reached No. 1 on both the R&B and pop charts and won Aretha her first two Grammy Awards.
She also had Top 10 hits with "Baby I Love You," "Think," "Chain of Fools,'" "I Say a Little Prayer," "(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman."
Franklin's chart dominance soon earned her the title Queen of Soul, while at the same time she also became a symbol of Black empowerment during the Civil Rights Movement of the time.
In 1968, Franklin was enlisted to perform at the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during which she paid tribute to her father's fallen friend with a heartfelt rendition of "Precious Lord."
Later that year, she was also selected to sing the national anthem to begin the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
In 1987, Franklin became the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was also awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Detroit.
Prior to her passing this week, Stevie Wonder and the Rev. Jesse Jackson were among those who paid a visit to her at her home in Detroit.
"I prayed with her," Jackson said.
In a statement, former President Barack Obama lauded Franklin as "The Queen."
"America has no royalty but we do have a chance to earn something more enduring," Obama said. "For more than six decades since, every time she sang, we were all graced with a glimpse of the divine. Through her compositions and unmatched musicianship, Aretha helped define the American experience."
Obama's statement continued: "In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. She helped us feel more connected to each other, more hopeful, more human."
And, Obama added, sometimes she helped us just forget about everything else and dance.
"Aretha may have passed on to a better place, but the gift of her music remains to inspire us all," Obama said. "May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace. Michelle and I send our prayers and warmest sympathies to her family and all those moved by her song."

What Tyre Speed Rating Do I Need For My Car?
If you've ever taken a close look at the outer wall of the tyres on your car, somewhere around it - apart from the manufacturer's name and logo - you'll have noticed a jumble of numbers, letters and symbols.
14 - shows the diameter of the rim of the wheel to which the tyre is fitted - although, confusingly, this is given in inches!
But after this comes two other sets of characters. The first will be a two-digit number, which is what's called the 'load index'. Broadly, this is the maximum safe weight (in kilograms: 1kg = 2.2lbs) the tyre is designed to carry when in everyday use.
However, it's the very last of all these characters that we're concerned with here - and that's what is known as the speed rating.
OK, while that's fairly typical wordy legalese, it basically means that the weight transmitted to the road surface (again, in kilograms, see earlier for formula to convert into pounds) by any vehicle through its tyres can't be more than that figure which comes before the final letter. That total weight also includes all of a car's occupants and their luggage.
These letters are intended to show the top speed a tyre is capable of maintaining over a sustained distance. To determine the speed rating of any new tyre design, engineers will test it at each 10kph (6.2mph) increment for 10 minutes, and give it a rating according to how well it performs within those parameters.
The speed rating is also related to the hardness of the rubber compound from which tyres are made - it follows that harder tyres can withstand regular use at higher speeds. So you'll need tyre with completely different ratings on your Bugatti Veyron than you would on your Ford Ka, to take an extreme example.
The tyres fitted to most modern family cars will fall into a narrow band somewhere between R and H on the above scale, and even for a small city car such as a Volkswagen Up! the manufacturer will recommend fitting tyres rated somewhere in the middle of the scale.
If you're in any doubt, you'll find any specific speed rating recommendations offered by your manufacturer in your car's handbook - but there are websites which let you search for this information too.
While we're still, at the time of writing, part of the European Union, you may be comforted to know that all tyre markings are standardised across Europe, thanks to the efforts of the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO), which has operated for 50 years to help bring different national standards into alignment, and promote the sharing of good practice between manufacturers.
Armed with this information, you should be able to decide whether a particular tyre which you see advertised will be suitable - and legal - for use on your vehicle.
As you'll see from the figures above, a one-letter difference usually equates to a 6mph/10kph incremental maximum speed rating (larger above 130mph).
When shopping for new tyres, the variety of brands and prices can be bewildering, but you should always try to pinpoint the speed rating, and make sure that this matches, or ideally, exceeds by a comfortable margin, the maximum speed your vehicle is designed to do.
Importantly, it doesn't matter if you say "but I'll never travel at (say 112mph), so I'll buy a tyre with a lower speed rating" - if you're caught and found with such tyres on your car, you could face a fine under the construction and use regulations for motor vehicles.
But more likely, and probably a more immediate worry, is that your insurer could deem you to have breached the terms of your policy, whereby you undertake to use the vehicle safely at all times. Given that insurers load their policies with fine print, and will use this to check that any car subject to a claim doesn't violate the regulations mentioned above before making any payout, you can expect your tyres to be checked as part of any examination by your insurer.
How Do I Stand When It Comes To My Insurance?
This is a bit of a moot point, but it's generally thought that, if you fit tyres with a speed rating lower than your car's top speed, it could be give your insurer a reason not to pay out in the event of a claim.
This forum thread on the Honest John website explores the issue in more detail - if you're in any doubt about the speed rating you need on your car, you can also use a tyre finding service, linked to the DVLA database. You'll find one on some tyre retailers' websites. These pinpoint the make, model and engine size of every registered vehicle. You can then use this to discover the right speed rating you will need for any replacement tyres.
From an insurer's point of view, they argue that fitting tyres with a higher speed rating than a car's top speed helps ensure that those tyres can deal with higher acceleration loads and the stresses of higher speed cornering, even if the maximum speed isn't exceeded.
Some tyre organisations offer vehicle registration number (VRM) tyre-finder services, which will automatically choose the correct tyres, with the right speed rating, for your car. On the other hand, some retailers may just offer you the tyre size you ask for, and it could be down to you to check whether they have taken the trouble to also find a tyre with a speed rating that's appropriate for your car.
In short, it's a good idea to have a separate, written note of all the information about your tyre size, type and speed rating away from your car handbook, just in case you mislay this, or need to find it quickly when you're not in the car.
To find quality tyres at the right price, you can register with MyCarNeedsA.com, input details of what you're looking for, and then get quotes for supply and fitting from our service providers - saving you the time and trouble of shopping around and comparing prices yourself.


1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, stir together the butter and sugar until well combined.
2. Add the egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the baking powder, salt, and flour.
4. Sift the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and stir.
5. Gradually add the milk and stir until the batter is smooth.
Beat the butter on high until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and milk and beat while gradually adding the sugar. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before frosting the cake.
Beat the butter on high until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and milk and beat while gradually adding the sugar. Beat again. Divide the mixture among four bowls and stir a couple of drops of food coloring into each. Cut the tips off disposable plastic pastry bags and insert metal flower tips. Fill each bag of the way with colored frosting, then cinch the open ends with rubber bands. To decorate as pictured above, squeeze rosettes onto a 9-inch parchment round and let the frosting set for a few minutes. Using a thin metal spatula, transfer the flowers from the parchment to the frosted cake.
Very disappointing. I doubled the recipe and it was still paltry. Baking time is too long and it is devoid of flavor. So glad I also made a chocolate cake!
I think it tasted wonderful, but the bater only makes half a layer of a cake.
This recipe is for one layer of delicious fluffy cake, as it clearly says at the top of the ingredients list. People who can't read well shouldn't be so quick to criticize a recipe. Will definitely use this recipe in the future.
Recipe is for one layer. I make this every year for my daughter's birthday but triple everything. We dye the frosting pink and cut 5 minutes from baking time. Very tasty!
This was as the other reviews indicated, a pancake cake. The taste was pretty good but this recipe should be removed from this Site!This is a site to go to for GOOD recipes..this one is NOT.
I found this recipe to be easy and quite yummy when finished. I figured that the recipe for the cake layers was referring to one layer at a time so this came out beautifully for me.
recipe is either for a 5 inch cake or is half recipe, I doubled it up, and even then, I ended up with thin cakes. I have yet to make the icing... let's hope it tastes good. Quite disappointing. Please ensure, whoever posted this, that the recipe is exact... and maybe that the actual photo is shown. Quite misleading.
it seems to be a half recipe, which I had to make twice, as I did not read the previous review... I am crossing my fingers it comes out ok, it's for my mom's birthday... Aye aye, obviously not from Gourmet mag... should have noticed.
What the &*&(???? I couldn't even give this one fork. It made 1 (not two) pancake-like 9 in cake if you even can call it that. I double and triple checked that I got the recipe correct. Something must be missing in the recipe. It was hard as a rock and about 1 inch thick. Luckily I had a back-up box cake to add to the layer. Definately won't make this again.

Q: Kotlin type mismatch !! and? I just recently started studying kotlin and when I changed  Webrtc release  to a newer one(1.0.22920) encountered  following problem:
 Type mismatch: inferred type is PeerConnection? but PeerConnection was expected

Here is the part of code where the error occurs:
val rtcConfig = PeerConnection.RTCConfiguration(iceServers)
peerConnection = peerConnectionFactory.createPeerConnection(rtcConfig, getPeerConnectionMediaConstraints(), videoPeerConnectionListener)

Most likely this is due to the fact that in the Webrtc library createPeerConnection became @Nullable:
@Nullable
      public PeerConnection createPeerConnection(RTCConfiguration rtcConfig, MediaConstraints constraints, Observer observer) {
        long nativeObserver = PeerConnection.createNativePeerConnectionObserver(observer);
        if (nativeObserver == 0L) {
            return null;
        } else {
            long nativePeerConnection = nativeCreatePeerConnection(this.nativeFactory, rtcConfig, constraints, nativeObserver);
            return nativePeerConnection == 0L ? null : new PeerConnection(nativePeerConnection);
        }
    }

Attempt to put ? and !! in different places did not work.
I think that only my poor knowledge of kotlin separates me from solving the problem, can you help me?

A: Most probably because earlier you have declare the variable as not nullable:
var peerConnection: PeerConnection

And that means you cannot assign a @Nullablevalue to that variable.
Change that to:
var peerConnection: PeerConnection?

Or you can force the value being returned to be non-null, (which I do not recommend) in which case:
peerConnection = peerConnectionFactory.createPeerConnection(rtcConfig, getPeerConnectionMediaConstraints(), videoPeerConnectionListener)!!

Notice the !! at the end.

A: Since the method is nullable, this means it has a chance of returning null. This means you cannot declare it as a non-null PeerConnection. You have three choices here:

*

*Declare the var as PeerConnection? - this means you accept nullable values

*Use non-null assertion with !!. At the end of the call to createPeerConnection, add !!. This throws an exception if it's null.

*Use the Elvis operator - add ?: [something to do here if it returns null without brackets] after the call to createPeerConnection.

If you need PeerConnection to be non-null, I recommend you pick the last option. It's also a recommended option if you're checking for null, as:
var someNullableVar = getPossibleNull()
if(someNullableVar == null) someNullableVar = whatever();

is the same as:
var nonNullVar = getPossibleNull() ?: whatever()

You can also return and stop continued execution, but if you want to throw an exception, use !! instead of the Elvis operator.
If you pick option #1 though, note that this means you'll have to do null checks on calls later.

BREAKING: Federal Lawsuit Seeks to Restore Individuals' Firearms Rights in State of California
Thursday, December 20, 2018 Posted by Firearms Policy Coalition
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (December 20, 2018) — Attorneys for two individual California residents and five constitutional rights advocacy groups filed a federal lawsuit challenging the State's laws and policies that, they claim, prevent people from exercising their Second Amendment rights. Named defendants in the lawsuit include Attorney General Xavier Becerra, DOJ Bureau of Firearms Chief Martin Horan, and Deputy Attorney General Robert Wilson. A copy of the case filings can be found at www.firearmspolicy.org/linton.
Plaintiffs Chad Linton and Paul McKinley Stewart alleged that they had been convicted of non-violent felonies in other states, decades ago, and have since had those felony convictions set aside or vacated. Furthermore, the courts in the States of Washington and Arizona also and specifically restored to them their right to purchase and possess firearms. However, the judgments of those other state courts fell on deaf ears, when it came to restoring their right to purchase and keep firearms in California. Attorney General Becerra's Department of Justice, which processes firearm transactions, denied their firearm purchases, even though it was aware of the Washington and Arizona court orders.
The complaint, filed in the Northern District of California, asks, "In their zeal to prohibit as many citizens from owning firearms as possible, may this State, [California Attorney General Xavier Becerra], and those responsible for the enforcement of California's firearms laws and policies, ignore the judgments and pronouncements of the courts of other states because they do not prefer the policy outcome?"
"The only honest, constitutionally-grounded answer to these questions must be a resounding 'no'," the plaintiffs say.

The court filing says that California "has no constitutionally-permissible interest in depriving individuals of their right to own, possess, and bear firearms for all lawful purposes, including self-defense in their homes, when any underlying convictions were remote, non-violent in nature, and adjudged to have been vacated or set aside in those other jurisdictions," claiming that this violates their rights secured by the Second Amendment.
The plaintiffs are also claiming violations of other provisions of the Constitution that provide for "full faith and credit" be given to other state judgments, and that all citizens enjoy the privileges and immunities of every other state. The plaintiffs claim that these clauses of the Constitution do not permit state officials here to deprive people permanently of the right to keep and bear arms, when the courts of other states have specifically set aside or vacated those felonies, and restored their civil rights to them.
"The State doesn't get to pick and choose which judgments of other states it will honor, and which it will ignore, because it doesn't approve of firearms ownership," said plaintiffs' attorney George M. Lee, who is handling the case. "Granting full faith and credit to other court judgments is part of the bargain of being one of these United States," he added. The complaint cites court cases which held that there is no public policy exception to the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
The plaintiffs are represented by attorney George M. Lee of San Francisco litigation firm Seiler Epstein Ziegler & Applegate LLP. The lawsuit is backed by Firearms Policy Foundation (FPF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), The Calguns Foundation (CGF), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and Madison Society Foundation (MSF), also institutional plaintiffs in the case.
Anyone who is similarly affected by California's laws and policies should contact the FPC/FPF Legal Action Hotline at https://www.firearmspolicy.org/hotline or (855) 252-4510 (available 24/7/365) as soon as possible.

Q: Some help getting started with tidytext I have a project I'm working on in tidytext, which I'm pretty new to. My input data is currently in the form of individual .txt files in a folder. I successfully used get_sentiments() to track the positive/negative sentiments of my data, but I'm looking to do some more advanced topic modelling.
https://www.tidytextmining.com/topicmodeling.html#latent-dirichlet-allocation
I'm trying to work off of this guide, but I'm struggling to get started. It looks like the input data you need to do topic modelling is a DocumentTermMatrix, which I'm unsure how to create. Is there a way to turn the data I currently have as individual files into this format so that I can use the methods described in that guide?

A: You can read all your .txt files into a df and create a DocumentTermMatrix out of it using tm:
library(tidyverse)
library(readtext)
library(tm)

# make example text files
text1 <- c("hello world 77")
text2 <- c("What time is it? 23")

writeLines(text1,"./data/text1.txt")
writeLines(text2,"./data/text2.txt")

# read txt files
texts <- list.files("./data",full.names = TRUE) # you can replace this path with your folder path with the text files
readtext(texts) -> data

# transform the data to a corpus
Corpus(VectorSource(data$text)) -> corpus

# add normalizations (you can skip this or add more)
corpus = tm_map(corpus, content_transformer(tolower))
corpus = tm_map(corpus, removeNumbers)

# make document-term matix
review_dtm <- DocumentTermMatrix(corpus)

review_dtm
<<DocumentTermMatrix (documents: 2, terms: 5)>>
Non-/sparse entries: 5/5
Sparsity           : 50%
Maximal term length: 5
Weighting          : term frequency (tf)

A: If you're interested in faster performance and/or using tidy data principles, then you can avoid using the tm package altogether. Check out this chapter of the book on how to convert back and forth from tidy data structures to a document-term matrix.
Here is a guide on how to get started with topic modeling. After your data is in memory (I recommend using readr::read_lines() with text files), you would do something like this:
library(tidyverse)
library(tidytext)
library(stm)
#> stm v1.3.5 successfully loaded. See ?stm for help.
#>  Papers, resources, and other materials at structuraltopicmodel.com
library(janeaustenr)

austen_sparse <- austen_books() %>%  ## austenbooks like the output of read_lines()
    unnest_tokens(word, text) %>%
    anti_join(stop_words) %>%
    count(book, word) %>%
    cast_sparse(book, word, n)       ## cast_sparse() is what converts to a DTM
#> Joining, by = "word"

Ox Street CEO's focus on customer service spurs regional expansion
4 April 2021, 10:24 pm ·5-min read
Ox Street founder and CEO Gijs Verheijke (PHOTO: Ox Street)
By April Zara Chua
SINGAPORE — Perhaps it comes as no surprise that the inspiration behind sneaker marketplace Ox Street was a pair of sneakers.
"I was living in Myanmar at the time and was trying to get my hands on a pair of adidas OG white Primeknit NMDs. I turned to Singapore but got so incredibly frustrated by the experience of dodging fakes and dealing with sellers that I started to consider starting a business to solve these issues," Ox Street founder and CEO Gijs Verheijke said in a recent interview with Yahoo Finance Singapore.
It was exactly what he did and launched Ox Street in October 2019.
The first thing he wanted to do was focus on the customers. He believes Singapore has plenty of room for improvement when it comes to customer service, saying that service here can come across as hostile and it's even worse in the sneaker and streetwear space.
"These products are not cheap, and the market is saturated with fakes and scams, so you have to treat your customers with respect and respond super quickly," explained Verheijke.
By focusing on that market pain point (and his personal pet peeve), Ox Street was able to capture the sneaker market rather quickly. Their customer loyalty and satisfaction Net Promoter Score is currently at 87 out of 100, an incredible feat for the startup.
But just how big is the industry? Analysts predict the resale industry will grow to US$64 billion by 2025, with Southeast Asia leading the way. Despite the pandemic, the company enjoyed around 35 per cent monthly growth from June to December 2020 and continues to grow at 30 per cent per month.
Verheijke said the company was able to capture some market share from the traditional resale platforms which required face-to-face transactions — something which was hampered due to COVID-19. He added that there was definitely some "revenge shopping" going on as well.
Two months ago, Ox Street announced plans to launch in Malaysia and the Philippines. According to Verheijke, demand can come from anywhere as every city has a sneakerhead. They currently have buyers in almost every county in the region, and even some in Australia and the Middle East. "The seller side is more complicated. We are currently supporting sellers in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines, and it's a high priority for us to expand this."
The 35-year-old is able to leverage on his past experience to take the company further, having previously worked at Rocket Internet launching and scaling various marketplace models.
"It was a combination of passion (for sneakers) and business that led me to Ox Street. I often joke that I'm even more of a marketplace nerd than a sneaker nerd," he said.
Verheijke shares his thoughts about the entrepreneurial experience and the most anticipated sneaker releases this year.
What are the spending patterns of Ox Street's core demographics?
Ox Street is focused on Generation Z and millennials. Eighty per cent of our buyers are under 35 years old, and around 50 per cent of buyers also sell. On average, a user buys four times per year on Ox Street and spends about S$400 per transaction.
Can you give buyers some tips on how to filter out fakes?
Without intimate knowledge of a specific model, or a confirmed real pair to compare with, it's almost impossible to see the difference between a real pair and the highest quality fakes.
We always ensure we have access to the real pair so we can document it in detail and use that reference to authenticate others of that same model. I would advise staying away from the raw resale markets unless you really know what you're doing.
What are your plans for Ox Street in 2021 and beyond?
Our main priority is to keep up our strong momentum. Category expansion is one of our main priorities for this year, but we also have hit our stride in innovating our app. We are the only regionally available app in our category, and I believe that we have to create truly disrupting features and offerings if we really want to become successful.
What are items on your ultimate sneaker wishlist?
Currently, I'm eyeing the latest Air Jordan 1 'Neutral Grey'. This is the last of the original 1985 Jordan 1 colours to be re-issued. It was the least popular one back then, but because of that it has become the rarest. The most 'coveted' pair from recent history that I own is the Off-White x Air Jordan 4 'Sail' which trades for around S$1,500.
What are the most anticipated sneaker releases this year that are on your radar?
I would have to say the Supreme x Nike Dunk collaborations set to release in April or May. People love to hate Supreme, but it still always sells out in two seconds — so I think it's safe to say that it will be a smash hit. Another nice one is the Air Jordan 4 'University Blue'. It reminds of the Travis Scott x Jordan 4 from a few years ago.
Any advice for people who are thinking of becoming entrepreneurs?
"The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz. It's a candid story of his entrepreneurial journey that just shows how incredibly tough it is to be an entrepreneur. Another one is "The Mom Test" by Rob Fitzpatrick. It's about how to ask better questions to people around you to validate your startup ideas. It might be the most important book I ever read.
Something I picked up from an interview with Naval Ravikant, co-founder, chairman and former CEO of AngelList: Don't feel the pressure to finish books, especially business books. The goal is to get out of that book the learnings you need. Many business and self-help books could have been a blog post.

There's so much more to the African experience than a safari. Think island living and loving, where often the space is yours alone to drift and dream in. For me this is the ultimate escape, where time stretches from sunrise to sunset.
It is here where I feel happily cocooned from the slings and arrows that everyday life throws at us, where my family (and sometimes friends too) could, if we felt like it, inhabit a world of our own , where no one else can intrude.
And there's so much more to islands than shimmering seas and coral reefs. Sometimes we need to be reminded there are also sublime places to escape to in the middle of the rivers, lakes and deserts of Africa – perfect to tag onto a safari or as a standalone sojourn.
It's new and it's making gentle ocean waves. Thanda Island only opened last year, but has already featured on Conde Nast Traveller's Hotlist. Want your private island in a marine reserve? This is for you with just one beautifully decorated beach villa – a perfect space for multi-generational families to gather. Grandparents can go for easy ambles and dip into the rimflow pool; the kids can tire themselves out on the tennis court or beach. Me? Between massages I'll be snorkeling on the reefs, communing with whale sharks, those graceful giants of the ocean.
When the dress code says "barefoot luxury" I know I'm headed for my own special slice of couple paradise. This remote one hotel-island is dotted in an archipelago – a 90-minute boat ride from the tourist hub of Nosy Be, just off the north-west coast of Madagascar. The eco-friendly secluded beach bungalows whisper romance. As soon as I step off my private deck into the powder-soft sand, the stress slip-slides away.
One of the most fascinating islands stays for me, Likoma Island combines "a bit of beach/a touch of town". I love it that you are on a lake but it feels like an ocean with water-skiing, dinghy sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. This is something for everyone, making it a gorgeous getaway for couples, families, collections of friends – especially after a southern African safari. Pick your moments: be blissfully private some of the time and immerse yourself in the local community – no surprise Malawians are known as the friendliest people in Africa – at others. It's a particular joy for me to cycle into town to the local markets and textile workshops. And I always make a point of soothing my soul amidst the grandeur of St Peter's Cathedral, one of the biggest in Africa.
This has to be one of the discerning travelers best kept African secrets. Seriously, who gets to see the jaw-dropping Victoria Falls AND sleep in luxury in the middle of the mighty Zambezi River which literally teems with game? There's little to beat drifting in to sleep in your open-sided thatch chalet following a candlelight dinner on the river sand – and this after a sunset cruise. Your lullaby is the grunting of hippos and the nightbird song. It's a romantic setting on the silver-screen scale.
Sometimes you just need to get that heart racing. I like to call this a "safari cleanser" – something heart-racingly adventurous after being deep in the African bush. It feels like nowhere else on earth: the middle of a salt pan the size of Switzerland. It's all about space and desolation and a canopy of stars so vast you feel like you are sleeping in a wide-open planetarium. This is you jumping on a quad bike for a 5-night adventure to a startlingly lovely desert camp for the first two nights, then two nights at Kubu Island and a final night back at one of the main camps. The feeling of freedom is cathartic. And then there's my particular daily moment of pure bliss at dawn when the salt pans flush several shades of pink.

Classic TV: The Mike Douglas Show (1961)
When I was growing up, it was virtually appointment television to watch The Mike Douglas Show after school. Oh, sure, I'd miss part of the show due to dinner, as it aired right before the 6:00 news, but it was a little bit of "comfort food", if you will.
Douglas began his show as a local entity in Cleveland in 1961, then went national 2 years later, landing a deal with Group W (Westinghouse), which would remain in place for the next 17 years before changing syndicators for the final 2 seasons of the series.
The format was different. A guest-co-host would join Douglas for a full week (5 days), mostly to help with interviews. There would be the comedy & musical acts virtually every show, and it was a lot of fun. Douglas ended the series in 1982 after a grand total of 21 seasons, as the talk-variety show was slowly being phased out of daytime in favor of straight talk shows that would soon broach more controversial topics once considered taboo.
Following is a 1968 clip with Judy Garland, who is interviewed by Douglas before performing her signature song, "Over The Rainbow" (from "The Wizard of Oz"). Uploaded by AllAboutJudy, a Garland fan channel on YouTube:
A slogan used in the 70's certainly fit. "Mike Makes Your Day". Indeed, he did.

The British gathered to determine the driver's fatigue for blood analysis
September 30, 2018	0	By autotimesnews
A new study on the impact on the driver's lack of sleep, using a blood test, is designed to provide the police with a tool to determine the degree of fatigue of the driver. It is still at the initial stage, but the first results are encouraging. This is stated in the publication in the medical journal "Sleep", devoted to the problems of sleep.
The study is conducted by scientists at the Sleep Research Center at the University of Surrey on 36 volunteers, all of whom are healthy adults. Some of them were asked not to sleep until 40 hours, and then took blood samples. Each sample was analyzed for changes in thousands of genes. A computer program used by scientists has identified 68 genes that can suffer from changes in the case of sleep deprivation. They helped scientists say whether there was a sample of the blood of a sleepy person or sleep deprived, with an accuracy of 92 percent.
It is believed that the lack of a good night's sleep is one of the main causes of accidents both in the UK and around the world, with new studies showing that the absence of even 2 hours of sleep at night can double the risk of an accident. The work of scientists promises to help the police identify tired drivers, as well as drunk.
"It's difficult to estimate how many people slept on their own," says Dr. Emma Laing, about the results. "It does not allow the police to find out if the driver can drive the vehicle safely, and employers can see if the employee can do their job."
But, as already said, this is only the beginning of the road, and the research itself can not give the desired result. However, according to scientists, this is "a promising first step in the right direction."

Probably many of us have seen that scene from "Live Free or Die Hard" (Die Hard 4) were the "terrorist hackers" manipulate traffic signals by just hitting Enter key or typing a few keys, I wanted to do that! so I started to look around and of course I couldn't get to do the same, that's too Hollywood style! but I got pretty close. I found some interesting devices used by traffic control systems on important cities such as Washington DC, Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc. and I could hack them :) I also found that these devices are also used in cities from UK, France, Australia, China, etc. making them even more interesting. This presentation will tell the whole story from how the devices were acquired, the research, on site testing demos (at Seattle, New York and Washington DC), vulnerabilities found and how they can be exploited, and finally some possible NSA style attacks (or should I say cyberwar style attacks?) Oh, I almost forgot, after this presentation anyone will be able to hack these devices and mess traffic control systems since there is no patch available (sorry didn't want to say 0day ;)) I hope that after this I still be allowed to enter (or leave?) the US.

← Tokyo School Life To Release on Valentines Day on Nintendo Switch within Europe
Moero Chronicle Hyper To Receive Western Nintendo Switch Release During Spring 2019 →
Game Review: Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force (Nintendo Switch)
After being re-mastered and re-named with new content for the PlayStation 4, and then later ported to Windows PC (via Steam), Compile Heart's action-JPRG Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force has arrived on the Nintendo Switch courtesy of Ghostlight Games and Idea Factory International.
Unlike past releases however this Nintendo Switch releases features all previously released downloadable content bundled together with the base game; but that aside what can one expect from this game and more importantly how does this Nintendo Switch release compare with its original PlayStation 4 release? Let's take a look and find out.
Title: Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force
Publisher: Ghostlight Games
Developer: Compile Heart
Audio: English & Japanese
Local Players: 1
Online Players: N/A
Install: YES (8.7GB)
For those unfamiliar Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force isn't a sequel to the previously released PlayStation 3 game Fairy Fencer F and instead it is an overhauled version that was re-developed for the PlayStation 4 (and then later ported to the Windows PC) before being ported onto the Nintendo Switch. Does this mean that Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force on the Nintendo Switch is a waste of your time?
No; it's actually the opposite as thanks to some clever 'behind-the-scenes' work by the development team Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force offers an extended gameplay experience combined with new quests and additional endings; but more importantly than that it is the first JPRG developed by Compile Heart to be released onto the Nintendo Switch within the west.
Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force puts players in control of the unlikely hero known as Fang who after arriving in a small village accepts the challenge of pulling a scared sword out of a stone under the pretence of being granted any wish he desires. Unfortunately for Fang he unlocks access to the latent fairy known as Eryn who reveals that Fang is actually a Fencer and that he must now traverse the world and collect 100 furies, which are actually Weapons in fairy form, in order to revive the goddess that has been sealed away and in turn retrieve Eryn's memories.
Fang, who just wanted to wish for food, isn't best pleased about this turn of events and attempts to shake off Eryn at every chance he can get; but after much deliberation he reluctantly agrees to embark on this quest. This quest sees Fang and Eryn travel the world in search of furies and in the process meet new comrades and encounter new rivals; of which are also Fencers wielding different abilities and furies.
The storyline narrative within Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force can be slightly confusing and a little bit tedious to understand, especially with all of the different explanations involved when it comes to Fairies, Furies, Fencers and so forth; but fortunately for us the comical balance between the characters, especially Tiara – the snobby know it all – makes this narrative a more entertaining experience.
Some might argue that Fang's personality is to 'downbeat' for a protagonist and doesn't work well with Eryn's bright energetic nature but from my perspective they work perfectly in harmony together as while Fang is always demanding and negative Eryn can be there to ignore him and perk him up; a fact made obvious during Eryn's debut when all Fang wants is something to eat.
It might not make you laugh; but it did to me. Tiara's personality is also a stark contrast to Fang and Eryn's own personality and as such we have a wide variety of personalities on screen that constantly clash and provide some form of entertainment. Of course these are just three of the many characters you'll encounter throughout the journey as later on you'll meet noble princes with pride and justice as well as a shy girl who is incapable of talking directly to others. Each character is not only unique; but entertaining as well.
As one might expect from this type of game the story progresses by mixing turn-based JPRG gameplay with visual novel elements. As such when you aren't progressing through a dungeon with your team of characters you will be reading a large amount of text or listening to quirky dialogue of the characters (as both English or Japanese audio is included). The visual novel segments may not be as impressive, or in some aspects immersive, as other games developed by Compile Heart but it does a grand job of going back and forth with the story and laying the foundations of what's to come.
Obviously the presentation of how these conversations are displayed to the player is nothing that we haven't seen before but as they say if it isn't broke then don't fix it; which is exactly what has happened here. It's also worth mentioning that Dungeons are not just areas which see you mindlessly defeat monsters as some dungeons will require you to locate keys, of which are usually being held by enemies you need to defeat, in order to progress forward with the game.
Dungeons may also have alternate routes which lead to new enemies and treasure; so it's also worth exploring each new dungeon. These are relatively simple additions but they add that explorative feel to a game that's usually quite linear with its progression.
Potential spoiler's aside the progressive gameplay within Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force will see players travel the world via a world map in order to locate new dungeons, explore them and acquire the Fury that is nestling away inside. It's your traditional 3D turn-based JPRG styled dungeon exploration experience and those familiar with the original Fairy Fencer F or Compile Heart's Hyperdimension Netpunia franchise will feel right at home here with this variation of the classic play style.
Interestingly enough while the world map interaction may be the same, with various locations appearing on the map as you progress through the game, some elements of the map can only be accessed when Furies have been obtained. Furies are an integral part to the game; whether it be unlocking new dungeons, equipping them to your character to boost stats or even using them to Revive portions of the Goddess and having more makes moving forward a lot easier. Basically Furies are weapons and the more you obtain the stronger your character will become and the more locations you'll be able to explore.
It's an interesting tactic whereby the game forces you to locate more furies in order to explore every area the game has to offer; an area which is already reasonably sized before the addition of new content courtesy of the 'Advent Dark Force' aspect of the game. Unfortunately I was not able to sample everything this game had to offer; but it's clear that even several hours into the game that a lot is on offer and there is a lot to play for. Basically you will be here for the long haul and thanks to the portability of the Nintendo Switch this exploration can be done both at home and on the go; something which past iterations have failed to provide.
When it comes to actual gameplay then Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force feels very reminisce to Compile Heart's Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise, as upon entering a dungeon players are able to freely navigate around a large area. While navigating these areas players can pick-up items scattered around or choose to engage with enemies by walking up to them; and of course those who attack the enemy before it touches you will ignite an advantage known as 'pre-emptive strike' for your side. When it comes to combat then, once again just like in Hyperdimension Neptunia, players are able to freely move around a limited space and perform a variety of attacks.
As mentioned before Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is turn based and a list of each characters turn is displayed on the left hand side of the screen. In some JPRG games the combat can seem tedious and dull, especially in some variations of Final Fantasy titles, but with Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force the combat is so swift and fast-paced then you might actually miss it if you blink. As mentioned you can move your characters in a limited area but unlike Hyperdimension Neptunia the range is a lot wider; furthermore you can also attack during this same turn.
This means you can easily move your character into position and then attack all in the same turn without the fear of being attacked yourself. At first you'll only be able to attack once per turn but as you progress through the game and learn more skills you will be able to customize attacks which will allow you to chain together attacks for combos during a single turn.
As with all good JPRG's players are able to perform a variety of actions during combat and it's no different here as not only can players perform simple attacks, which in the case of Fang is a simple sword slash, players can also used magical abilities for stronger attacks or perform a fusion based transformation known as Fairize.
This 'Fairize' ability sees your chosen character fuse with the fury and as a result become stronger, faster and be able to perform more destructive attacks. It's an ability which needs to be earned during combat; but once obtained it brings a heavy amount of damage to your opponent. In some aspects this 'Fairize' ability could be considered the Fairy Fencer's variation of the HDD Transformation in Hyperdimension Neptunia as the fundamentals are pretty much the same.
Furies are your characters main source of power and by equipping or combining these furies you will be able to create a stronger more powerful selection of characters. It's a unique feature and will aid you in combat, especially as you progress through the game, but it is a feature that can be difficult to get to grips with at first.
Collecting Furies and activating the 'Fairize' ability is not the only option available as players can also obtain equipment, weapon perks and all-sorts of special items; most of which can be equipped. Although equipment can be obtained through regular gameplay this Nintendo Switch release does contain all downloadable content and as such a small selection of powerful items and furies are available for use right at the start of the game. This can either be a helpful tool or a buzz-kill so caution is advised. As an example equipping a high-levelled DLC item will result in enemy attacks doing no damage at all; thus making boss fights an absolute breeze and a little bit boring.
Equipping high level items and Furies to your character is not the only way of getting stronger as WP points, of which are obtained during combat, can also be used to upgrade the stats of your character. As an example Attack, Defense, Magic stats can all be upgraded to higher levels; additionally new types of attacks and magic can also be 'purchased' by using these WP points. These options may seem 'hidden away' within the menus (I didn't find them until after three hours) but they can boost already boosted stats which are earned by levelling up after each fight in dungeons.
Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force on the Nintendo Switch brings all of the enjoyment of the PlayStation 4 (and Windows PC) experience to Nintendo's hybrid console; but it's not without a few problems. Firstly the game features an inconsistent frame-rate and different portions of the game will run at different speeds. For instance exploring a dungeon and engaging in combat will produce varying results; while battle animations (such as special abilities and the Fairize ability) will run at the full FPS. Visual novel and world map interactions meanwhile will also run at the target FPS. Basically the game has been poorly optimised and (for me at least) feels like i'm playing the Windows PC version of my standard computer.
It's not just the inconsistent frame-rate either as at different portions of the visual novel elements the audio will cut-off if 'Auto-Play' is selected. Fortunately this doesn't occur all the times but (if like me) you prefer for the visual novel moments to auto-play than it is concerning that you may miss off part of the conversation or be cut-off mid-dialogue. In the grand scheme of things this is just a small issue, especially when compared to the inconsistent frame rate, but it is something worth mentioning for those that use this feature.
Although I can overlook these issues it is concerning that Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Foces on the Nintendo Switch features random game crashes. These can occur at random and they will force-quit the game to the Nintendo Switch home-screen and display a error message. So far this has only happened twice; but that's twice more than I would like. My advice would be to save often as at least that way you won't lose much progress if the crash does occur.
Whether it be viewing visual novel dialogue elements, exploring a wide-open area or engaging in a battle Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force offers a lot of game time and is a lot of fun to play. This Nintendo Switch release brings everything from the original PlayStation 4 experience, which in itself featured new content and revised features, and expands it with all previously released downloadable content to offer the definitive Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force experience to date.
Although it does have issues Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force on the Nintendo Switch is an entertaining game that starts off simple but gets increasingly complex the further you progress; and as such you'll find yourself spending several hours at a time playing this time. As I said before; you'll be here for the long haul and thanks to this Nintendo Switch version you can now take the adventure anywhere.
Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is now available as a digital download for the Nintendo Switch from the Nintendo eShop within the UK and Europe and is also available for the PlayStation 4 and Windows PC (via Steam). Alternatively the original 'Fairy Fencer F' game is available for the PC and PS3.

1. Edition Forum (2020)
Guests of our events
The first edition of the Remembrance and Future Forum organised by the Depot History Centre took place in June. We have entered the online world, opening up a platform for debate on today's major challenges and dilemmas. We have invited the greatest minds of our time, intellectuals and social leaders from Poland and worldwide, to take part in a multi-voice discussion. We moved to the virtual world, where the invited guests reflected on the "Dimensions of Solidarity" and the context of the current global epidemic crisis.
"In 2020, forty years after August '80, the theme of the Forum referred to the experience of 1980s Poland and the birth of the Solidarity movement. The idea of solidarity was our starting point for reflection on contemporary social divisions and fractures, on the meaning of social solidarity in the age of contemporary capitalism and cultural conflicts, on empathy and social sensitivity in the age of new media, on international solidarity in the age of new geopolitical tensions and international crises, on questions about the condition and future of liberal democracy, on the meaning of the word community and citizenship.
The invited guests will discuss the most important challenges and dilemmas of today, issues which are important from the point of view of Wrocław, Poland and the whole of Europe. The event brought together more than a dozen European thinkers to give lectures and take part in online debates.
#Lectures, debates, discussions
From 5 June, every week on the Depot History Centre website, unique guest speeches on solidarity in the context of current global problems were presented, prepared especially for the Forum. In addition to the lectures, the RAF Forum included an online discussion entitled. "Confrontations with totalitarianism and the formation of religious freedom". The debate scheduled for 29 June involved Prof. Kazimierz Michał Ujazdowski and Prof. Gert Pickel from the University of Leipzig. A series of workshops entitled "Solidarity step by step" led by Prof. Michał Łuczewski was also organised.
The speakers included Piotr Czekierda, Krzysztof Noworyta and Dariusz Rosiak. Another event that took place as part of the Forum was a debate among historians from Central and Eastern Europe on the road to freedom in their respective countries and dealing with the unwanted legacy of communism. This discussion was prepared jointly with the Platform of European Memory and Conscience and moderated by Dr Łukasz Kamiński.
The choice of theme for last year's Forum was not accidental. It was linked to the organisation of the Wrocław celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the Solidarity Trade Union's creation, which were organised by the Depot History Centre.
