San José State University Hosts First CSU-Wide Grad Slam
by Tiffany Harbrecht | May 4, 2021 | Research and Innovation
Graduate students often invest years of their lives working on focused, in-depth research in their field. Ultimately, they must successfully defend their conclusions to a select committee of faculty advisors with expertise in that area of study.
Now, imagine what it would be like to distill the key ideas of that yearlong research into a presentation that is accessible and interesting for everyone — and do it in three minutes or less.
That's exactly what graduate students from across 12 California State University (CSU) campuses will do in the first-ever CSU Grad Slam on May 6, hosted by San José State.
Grad Slam is a fast-paced, dynamic competition in which graduate students across all fields face off for the top short presentation of research. The event offers the opportunity for up-and-coming student-researchers to showcase their scholarship and creativity, while challenging them to effectively convey their work in three-minute snackable sound bites to a non-specialist audience.
The system-wide event is a collaborative effort across many of the CSU campuses. Those participating include: Bakersfield, Chico, Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Northridge, Sacramento, San José, San Francisco, and Sonoma State.
As the founding university of the CSU system and its leadership in graduate education, San José State is a natural fit to host the inaugural competition. SJSU held its first Grad Slam in 2019, a few short months after the university's launch of the College of Graduate Studies that January.
According to SJSU's College of Graduate Studies Dean Marc d'Alarcao, the creation of this year's CSU-wide competition encouraged a number of the other CSUs to create their own Grad Slam, from which they will send their top two winners to the system event.
A total of 21 participants from across the 12 campuses will present their research in this year's livestream virtual competition. San José State is sending its top two winners from the SJSU Grad Slam, which occurred on April 29: Guadalupe "Lupe" Franco (first place) from the MS Environmental Studies program and Remie Gail Mandawe (second place) from the MS Physiology program.
(L-R) SJSU 2021 Grad Slam Winners Lupe Franco and Remie Gail Mandawe.
Franco's presentation, "Wicked Problems: Understanding How Cities and Counties in California are Tackling Climate Change and Homelessness, emphasizes the need for jurisdictions and planners to "create equitable and just strategies that include the voices of unhoused populations and gain them the access to basic resources needed to protect them from climate change."
Mandawe's presentation, "Targeting the Source of our Sixth Sense Using Blue Light" explores how to target and isolate gamma motor neurons in the brain using blue light and better understand why motor dysfunction and motor neuron diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, occur.
The CSU Grad Slam will start with preliminary rounds in the morning, in which small groups of the competitors will present live in three "rooms" over Zoom to panels of three judges. The top-scoring students from each room will advance to the afternoon round for the chance to win one of three cash prizes: first place, second place and the People's Choice award.
The public can watch the event online and vote on the People's Choice award in real time during the final segment of the program. Three different judges will score the afternoon's competitors.
Although there will ultimately be only three winners, everyone who participates gains tremendous benefits from the process. Not only are the graduate students able to develop vital research communication and presentation skills, they can engage with and be inspired by other emerging researchers.
"I think it is beneficial to the graduate students to feel appreciated and have the opportunity to see what their colleagues are doing in a concise and interesting way," said d'Alarcao.
"It's invigorating to realize that you're part of an intellectual community that has all of these different things happening, and that's really positive for the participants."
Register today to see CSU's top graduate student research.

No matter how much of a social butterfly you are, the workplace combines a number of different personalities who are brought together for one thing… Work. The last thing you want is awkward social tension between you and your coworkers. To lend a helping hand, Eventup has picked out some great conversation starters for you and your colleagues.
One of the best ways to engage your colleagues is to strike up a conversation about what they do with their spare time. Ask about their plans for the upcoming weekend or what they did the night before. As excited as people get about their job, everyone loves their free time and time off. It's a great way to find out more about your coworkers and their interests. You might even discover a few mutual interests between the two of you.
For many people, a favorite subject of discussion is themselves. If you appear extremely interested in your colleagues, they'll happily open up with you, avoiding any awkward pauses. To keep yourself entertained, chime in when you find that you have interests – or even differences – but keep it positive. After all, often times, opposites attract.
Although it can seem like a dry, boring subject to discuss, the news is a great way to start a discussion. There are always new arising issues being brought up in the news, so brush up on your current events. Just remember, money and politics should usually be avoided. They are controversial topics that often lead to disagreements and conflicts, the last thing you want amongst colleagues working together every day.
Yes, when getting to know people, the basic questions are a good start. But to really strike up a good conversation, ask clarifying, thought provoking and open-ended questions. Avoid yes or no questions to ensure your coworker will actually communicate with you and engage in conversation. They'll be excited you're curious to learn more about them!
Your surroundings can be a great place to start when talking to someone. Chances are, your corporate event will not be held in the office, but rather in a hotel ballroom, on a yacht out in the deep blue, or a Malibu Estate. Wherever you may be, you are all there together and can relate to that.
As excited as you might be that the whole office actually dressed up for the Halloween party, try to avoid making general statements like "This is so great that everyone got into it!" Instead, try something like "This is so great that everyone got into it! What's the best costume you've seen yet?" This combines a general remark with an open-ended question to help the conversation going instead of cutting it off.
Even though you may have been stuck with the office chit-chatterer, be aware of your body language. As long as the conversation has gone on, try your hardest to remain engaged by nodding, smiling, and keeping eye contact. That being said, the same goes for you. While you're talking, make note of peoples' expressions and body language. If you find people constantly checking their watch or cell phone, chances are you've gone on a little too long.
The toughest part of interacting with your coworkers is starting a good conversation. We're not just talking the typical "Hey! How are you?" but rather the start of a good conversation. One good way to initially break the ice is to start with a compliment. If you like someone's handbag, or shirt and tie combo, let them know. It's a good way to find out more about common interests and spark a conversation that they, and maybe you, are also interested in.
As easy as it is to converse with others, you may want to come into the event with a few things prepared that you find interesting or funny. Perhaps a funny story or recent experience you had and are willing to share. It's a great way to loosen up the atmosphere and get everyone relaxed from the start. This way, conversations will go smoother from the start.
The fact of the matter is that your company event is a chance to relax and get to know your coworkers. It's not meant to cause stress or make you feel uncomfortable. Take a deep breath, and be yourself. As we already mentioned, your office is most likely going to be a mixture of people. There is no need to act like anyone other than yourself. Try to remember to have fun!

Older adults who already have some cognitive impairment, but not dementia, may find their thinking skills improve when they start doing aerobic exercise like walking or cycling a few times a week, a small experiment suggests.
"So, if someone has difficulty walking or running, they may be able to use a stationary bike, swim, or do some resistance training," Hayes said. "I would encourage folks to avoid the notion that they cannot exercise.

Michael has been practicing Mahasati Insight Meditation for over 25 years. He is a licensed psychologist and is founder of the Mahasati Insight Meditation Association, the Redding Center for Meditation/Wat Sati-Ma, located in Redding, CT, and the Center for Mindfulness & Insight Meditation, in Wenham, MA.
Michael began to investigate Buddhist meditation, while in his twenties, as a means to alleviate existential suffering. He studied Zen for several years, before turning to Mahasati Insight Meditation, which he encountered in 1991 after meeting Tavivat Puntarigvivat, a lay student of the Thai meditation master, Lunagpor Teean Jittasubho. In 1992, Michael began studying more intensively with visiting Thai Forest monks, Achan Thong Abhakaro, Achan Da Nilpant, and Achan Niphen Nontamart. Michael quickly realized the value of Mahasati Insight practice and has had a leading role in the introduction of Luangpor Teean's teaching and practice to the West.


Even the most beautiful homes tend to look a little outdated as the years go by. If your house is due for an upgrade, the new Trinsic™ Series windows and patio doors from Milgard are designed to bring your home into the twenty-first century with a brand new, more contemporary look. Or, if you're planning to build a new home, the Trinsic Series will create a crisp, clean appearance with a decidedly modern flair and the maximum amount of natural light in every room.
Unlike older style windows with thick, heavy frames, Trinsic Series contemporary vinyl windows boast narrow frames that allow you to enjoy stunning outdoor views with little interference or distraction. The hardware is so discreet that you almost don't even know it's there, but at the same time, the windows are dependably easy to open and close, usually with a single motion.
Trinsic Series windows are created to maximize natural light throughout the home while creating a warm feeling and a connection between the indoor environment and the great outdoors.
Trinsic Series picture windows, created so that nothing stands in the way of the stunning view, are an unmistakable focal point in any home. That's just the beginning, however, as Trinsic Series offers a variety of styles, including single-hung windows that open and close in a smooth up and down motion, horizontal sliders that are easily locked and unlocked, or double horizontal sliders that open from both sides with a fixed sash in the center.
Casement windows that swing outward like a door are just the thing for upper floors or exterior areas without walkways. Awning windows, hinged on top, are opened and closed with a simple turn of the handle, perfect for maximum ventilation, even when it's raining.
If you're looking for something a little different, radius windows, rounded on the top, add a stylish, whimsical feel, or they can soften a room with a few too many hard edges.
No matter what window style you choose, it will pair well with Trinsic Series vinyl sliding patio doors. Like the windows, sliding doors provide the maximum viewable glass area with nothing to obstruct the view.
Select a slider with two, three or four panels and a variety of attractive exterior colors. If the light is a little too intense, several shades of tinted glass are available. You can also opt for Pureview screens, which, according to happy homeowners, practically disappear.
You have a number of options available within the Trinsic Series that can add contemporary style to your home. Get started today and enjoy your new upgrade.

Rep. Rohrabacher: Movement to Quit the Communist Party Makes My Children Safer and the World Better By Jennifer Zeng
The Communist party has made the same claim for over a century now. It is that they have the special knowledge to improve men's lives in exchange for political power. This was always false, even when they had zero experience in governance. The problem is that all the competition was equally clueless.
What they consistently brought to the table was an ideology of almost unrestrained personal power with disastrous results in terms of actual economic development as that power automatically interfered with all decision making.
Most are wise to them but for the true believers they have a clear path to stealing power from everyone else. Thus they continue to trouble us. This is an occasion in which a few judicial summary executions or jail terms could act to inform the rest to shut it down. I think that did work once with the NAZIs in the USA. It is not free speech when the clear and proven intent is to impose physical power over the innocent.
The Communist dream will never truly end until we master poverty and adopt the Rule of Twelve.
Rep. Rohrabacher: Movement to Quit the Communist Party Makes My Children Safer and the World Better
By Jennifer Zeng
July 27, 2018 Last Updated: August 1, 2018
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) poses in his office in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington on July 26, 2018. (Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/rep-rohrabacher-movement-to-quit-the-communist-party-makes-my-children-safer-and-the-world-better_2606742.html
WASHINGTON—In an exclusive interview, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) said the movement for quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), known as the "Tuidang" movement, will help achieve "a more peaceful world." Because of it, "my children will be safer," he said.
On June 8, Rohrabacher introduced into Congress H.Res.932, a resolution "Expressing solidarity with the Tuidang Movement whereby Chinese citizens renounce their ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliates, and calling for an immediate end to the campaign to persecute Falun Gong practitioners."
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) in his office in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington on July 26, 2018. (Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times) Rohrabacher said his legislation seeks to inform the American people about these "moral soldiers, these moral giants in our day, who are fighting under a desperate situation and risking their lives."
He also wants to "make sure that we notify the Tuidang movement and the Falun Gong people that they are not alone, that the American people stand with them."
The Tuidang Movement started at the end of November 2004, after the Epoch Times published "The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" on Nov. 19, 2004. That book describes the CCP as "an evil specter" and relates its history of mass killing and destroying China's traditional morality and culture.
Ten days later, on Nov. 29, the first batch of Tuidang declarations, submitted by Chinese living outside China, first appeared at the Epoch Times' website.
Since then every day there have been Tuidang declarations published at the Chinese-language Epoch Times' special Tuidang section (http://tuidang.epochtimes.com), with numbers ranging from several hundred per day in the beginning to more than 100, 000 per day in recent years.
On March 23, 2018, the total number of people who have published their declarations to withdraw from the CCP and the CCP's Youth League and Young Pioneers exceeded 300 million. Individuals in China often choose to use pseudonyms to protect themselves from being discovered by the state.
Less than three months later, Rohrabacher introduced H.Res.932, as he believed that the Tuidang Movement had "reached a threshold of success that needs to be recognized."
Talking about the significance of the Tuidang Movement for the United States and China, Rohrabacher said that the CCP has not only caused "unnatural deaths of at least 60 million people in China," but also "threatens world peace," and has "destabilized the world. That's why we had the Korean War, the war in Vietnam, and all the other conflicts."
Epoch Times reporter Jennifer Zeng interviews Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) in his office in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington on July 26, 2018. (Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times)
Rohrabacher believes that the Tuidang Movement is "vitally important," as China is ruled by this "evil party." If the Tuidang Movement can convince people not to join the evil force, to break away from CCP's control, "that means they are protecting us; and they are doing what's good for China as well."
In 2005 the not-for-profit "Global Tuidang Center," was established to "educate people about the destructive character of Communism, to assist all Chinese people worldwide to renounce the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations," according to the Center's website.
The Global Center reports that its "Rapid Tuidang Center" in 2015 alone made 912,413 manual phone calls to Mainland China to convince people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliates, and 99,145 people agreed to do so.
The Rapid Tuidang Center is mainly sustained by Falun Gong practitioners worldwide who see the Tuidang movement as a form of peaceful civil disobedience that will help them secure their rights. Falun Gong has been persecuted by the CCP since July 1999.
The Rapid Tuidang Center also uses computer software to make automatic phone calls to China that play audio files about the Tuidang Movement; people can choose to push phone buttons or leave voice messages expressing their desire to quit. Volunteers will then listen to these recorded voice messages and help those who are ready to quit to publish their declarations on the Tuidang website.
Each year, 500-600 million automatic phone calls have been made to China via the"Rapid Tuidang Center" to help Chinese people learn about the crimes of the CCP and to encourage them to quit.
A large number of Falun Gong practitioners inside China also go out to talk to either their friends and relatives, or strangers on the street or at shopping malls, farmers' markets, and so on, to inform people about the Tuidang movement and convince them to quit, at the risk of being reported to the police and arrested.
According to Rohrabacher, these people who make all these tireless and courageous efforts in all these years are real heroes.
"If the Falun Gong movement, if the Tuidang movement, is successful in China, it means a more peaceful world. My children will be safer, because of the courage that has been shown there. We want to have the people of the United States express officially that kind of appreciation."

This post is dedicated to those times I thought I had everything under control, those times I thought that I understood the German conversation flowing around me perfectly.
And then BANG – I suddenly realise I've accidentally agreed to a second schnapps, or a third, on top of all that other alcohol.
So here comes the schnapps. And I smile, like it was my plan all along. Just like that time I ordered the wrong sav – the cab instead of the blanc.
And I drink it down, and I sigh appreciatively like a good Austrian-in-training should.
Prom/ball season in Austria is big. It extends from November to February and on any given weekend could include a number of events in or around the surrounding towns. I feel as if I should explain a little bit here, because a prom or ball in Austria is not like one in Australia.

Q: Storage of Objective C property variables and non property variables Can anyone please clarify me that where exactly the variables stored in objective c ?
In .h file
@interface example: NSObject
{
  NString *string;      // where is this stored
  int     number;       // where is this stored
}
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSURL* mURL;  // where is this stored

@end

similarly,
In .m file
# import "xyz.h"

NSString *constant = @"hello";  // where is this stored

@interface example()
{
  NString *textg;      // where is this stored
  int     numb;       // where is this stored
}
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSURL* sURL;  // where is this stored

@end

A: "string", "textg", "number" and "numb" are instance variables to the class.  The difference is that "string" and "number" are eligible to be publicly accessible (via ref->number), and "textg" and "numb" are private (since other classes conventionally do not #import .m files).
"mURL" and "sURL" properties are stored as instance variables "_mURL" and "_sURL".  Again, "_mURL" is eligible to be publicly accessible (via ref->_mURL), and "_sURL" is not for the same reason.
And, "constant" is an ordinary global variable stored on the heap.

A: You ask:

where exactly the variables stored

To answer just this: all the variables other than constant, and the variables used by the properties, are stored as part of the memory allocation for each instance of your class example that you create. Every instance has its own copy of each variable. E.g. when you do:
example *anExample = [example new];

You are requesting that an instance of example is created and a reference to it is stored in anExample. That instance contains the all the instance variables and properties you have declared (and it also contains any instance variables and properties for its superclasses, in this just just NSObject).
Your other variable, constant, is declared at the file level. Such variables are stored along with the compiled code in your file as part of your application. Regardless of how many instances of your class are created there is only ever one constant variable. Methods running on behalf of any instance all see the same constant variable.

Discovery and Control: How Video Games and Tabletop Games are Learning from One Another
This week, I once again found myself listening to one of Geoff Englestein's excellent "GameTek" segments on the podcast Ludology. Geoff's short segments cover scientific and psychological topics related to gaming, and the topic from this installment – episode 230.5 – was "Implicit vs Explicit". Geoff's analysis underpins a foundational struggle underlying game design, one which I feel explains many of the recent trends in the game mechanics found across both video and tabletop gaming. In case you have six minutes to spare, do go listen to Geoff's eloquent and insightful analysis for yourself:
Listen to Geoff's Episode
In this brief segment, Geoff uses a case study from his historical game Versailles 1919 to describe a common tension in game design: when should designers make the systems of a game explicit for player's to understand from the outset of play, and when should they leave parts of the system hidden such that players must learn by discovery? In his own design, Geoff wrestled with whether or not he should make the political stability of regions explicitly stated on the game board, or if he should make differences in stability expressed varying ratios of each region's cards in the deck, the latter being an implicit way to show region's individualities that requires repeated play to learn for oneself.
There is evidence that player's engage in implicit learning before they can even articulate what they have learned. Geoff cites the Iowa Gambling Task, an experiment in which individuals could draw from any of four decks (each with different ratios of cards) and gained or lost money based on what they drew. Although it took forty draws before most players could articulate which decks they felt were better or worse, after only ten draws players showed stress reactions when they decided to draw from one of the bad decks.
Geoff concludes that designers can leverage implicit information in games to reduce the cognitive load on players. He also notes how video games tend to do this well – hiding lots of information about the strengths and weaknesses of various options so that players must discover the system through play. Implicitly learned systems can likewise create a more immersive experience within the fiction of the game world by not plainly explaining their rules.
Tabletop games typically feature explicit rulebooks outlining their systems.
Nevertheless, there is a degree of control gamers can gravitate towards when rules are explicitly stated. Many board games are easier to approach competetively as a first time player than many video games, as it's far more difficult to shortcut the learning curve of discovery than it is to efficinetly digest a rules explanation.
As I read this part of Geoff's analysis, I realized I saw a trend in popular gaming over the last two decades. Video games often seem to be utlilizing smaller rules systems and online communities that work to provide explicit conslidation of those systems, while new tabletop games are striving for the open-ended allure of video games, wherein systems are largely implicit and left to be discovered.
For example, the most high-profile Kickstarter successes by board game designers in the last decade have been games like The Seventh Continent and Gloomhaven, games with massively expansive worlds and stories to be explored over repeated plays. New types of cards and challenges are unearthed as the game progresses, effectively melding the immersive discovery of video games with the tactile nature and social allure of tabletop gaming. On a personal level, I was intrigued by both of these designs when droves of reviewers called them innovative, and after trying them found myself impressed with the way in which both games put players on a constant brink of discovery, both in terms of the fictional world and gameplay mechanics.
"Gloomhaven" is a massive fantasy board game, weighing almost 22 pounds and containing hundreds of hours of gameplay across branching scenarios and divergent storylines.
Conversely, one of the major genres of games to succeed in the last five years are battle royal and arcade games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Zombies. These games see players repeatedly playing in the same gameplay space, one which is very small by video gaming standards, and striving to improve their performance in game after gme with relatively little randomness to obstruct the player's agency. Sound a lot like a digital implementation of a tabletop game? I think so too. Moreover, the increasing popularity of forums and write ups in video gaming communities has led to more sharing of explicit information than ever, and increasing numbers of players are flocking to these articles to find out the exact mechanisms at play behind their favorite game's flashy graphics. In essence, video game communities are writing and sharing the rulebooks to their games, even though rulebooks are an often maligned attribute of tabletop gaming.
The original map for the hit game "Fortnite".
I don't foresee these trends continuing forever, but I do think they represent much needed growth from designers in both digital and analog games. Implicit and explicit systems have their place in all kinds of games, and judicious employment of each is crucial to design. As a game designer, I'm keen on identifying the strengths of various mediums, but I also love to identify where design has restricted itself based on unfounded assumptions. Why should a Skyrim fan limit their gaming to digital worlds when analog games like Gloomhaven might satisfy the same itch? Mediums should indeed play to their strengths, but all games can bring in new audiences and innovate in their respective fields by studying other game forms and rethinking hitoric assumptions.

Podcasting — The Future of News Media
With the increasingly shortening attention span of the average person, the printed newspaper has become the least popular medium for news. News is now transmitted through a variety of different formats — such as television, internet, and video — and you would be hard pressed to find anyone that still reads the morning paper. Hell, I cannot even remember a single time I have read a newspaper throughout the 19 years of my life. The limitations of the printed medium just can't compare with the affordances of new visual and auditory media. As a result, news media outlets are adapting to the current social climate.
News media outlets such as Vox Media and Vice News have taken advantage of the growing popularity of YouTube by creating informative, infographic videos that incorporate animations, video clips, and graphics with the spoken word to capture the audience's attention. On the other hand, broadcast companies such as Fox, NBC, and CNN have taken advantage of television broadcasting to disseminate the news and reach broader audiences. These visual mediums have infinitely more potential to capture one's attention than the small black and white words that fill newspapers.
Just take a look at the video and newspaper below. Which one would you be more likely to read or watch?
The video, right? I agree. There is simply no comparison between the two mediums. With print newspaper, there is just not enough stimuli to compete with these other forms of news. Just like the common idiom states, a picture is worth a thousand words, and there is no way in hell I am going to read a thousand words; so, just show me the picture.
While these mediums do a great job of capturing your attention, they require your complete and undivided attention. People are busy. Most work 9 to 5 jobs, more people than ever commute to work, and a lot don't have the time nor the energy to engage in these news mediums. So, how can the news be translated in another way to adapt to our busy lifestyles?
Podcasting has emerged as a new, great alternative for consuming the news. It allows for the average person to keep up to date with the news, while performing their routine day-to-day tasks. Depending on the type of job you have, you could be listening to podcasts the entire workday. News media outlets need to take advantage of this emerging medium. With podcasting, news media outlets have the opportunity to be in the ears of the masses for large portions of the day.
Newspaper The New York Times has taken advantage of this opportunity with its podcast The Daily. They take the most significant current news stories and thoroughly examine them in a condensed 20-40 minutes. This audio format affords them a lot more freedom than print newspapers. For the Blasey-Kavanaugh hearing, they took actual recordings from the hearing, brought in guest speakers who have personal connections with Kavanaugh, and commented on specific key incidents that occurred during the hearing. There is a lot more nuance that can be conveyed in this format.
By listening to the actual hearing itself, a lot more is conveyed than words on a page. You can hear the intonations of their voice and emotions in their speech, and you can form your own opinions based off them. It makes it much more difficult to take out of context, and it holds a much more significant impact when you actually hear the words coming from their source. Podcasting also gives the audience a much more human take on the news. Hearing the reporter's analysis through his or her voice helps the audience identify the difference between analytical opinions and objective facts.
With that said, podcasting offers an exciting, new alternative to traditional forms of newscasting, yet few news broadcasting companies have begun to utilize it. Podcasting is slowly growing in popularity, while these other forms are quickly declining. These companies need to advance into the future and pick up this growing medium. It is only a matter of time before podcasting becomes a significant component of news media.

Xuele, a K-12 online education platform in China, has closed its series C financing round.
Specific numbers on the round have not been clearly provided, but GSR Ventures' involvement in the round is reportedly worth tens of million of U.S. dollars.
GSR Ventures previously invested in Xuexibao.cn, a similar K-12 online education platform that helps students do homework and provides online tutoring.
Founded in 2002, Xuele operates Xuelecn.com and provides online study materials closely linked to students' curriculum. The platform provides basic services for free but sells advertising and charges fees for personalized education services.
Xuele just raised RMB100 million in its series B financing round led by Haitong Capital International Investment in May.
The online educator previously received angel and series A funding from individual investors, including GSR Venture's partner Allen Zhu.

Q: Twitter login issue Parse.com iOS I recently deleted all the multiple duplicate files from my mac and that messed up my xcode project. I had to import all the twitter frameworks again and had to delete the twitter run script for my app to work. Before my mess up everything worked fine.
Now everytime i login into with twitter this error comes up TWTRLogInButton was created with no completionBlock set
my code that worked perfectly:
- (IBAction)twlogin:(TWTRLogInButton *)sender {

        [PFTwitterUtils logInWithBlock:^(PFUser *user, NSError *error) {
        if (error) {
        }
        else {
            PF_Twitter *twitter = [PFTwitterUtils twitter];
            PFUser *user = [PFUser currentUser];
            NSString *twitterScreenName = twitter.screenName;
            [[PFUser currentUser] setObject:twitterScreenName forKey:@"username"];
            [user saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error)
             {
                 if (error)
                 {
                     UIAlertView *alertVeiw = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Sorry" message:[error.userInfo objectForKey:@"error"] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];
                     [alertVeiw show];
                 }

                 else {
                     [[PFInstallation currentInstallation] setObject:[PFUser currentUser].objectId forKey:@"userId"];
                     [[PFInstallation currentInstallation] saveInBackground];

                     [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
                 }
             }];

            [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
        }
    }];
}

Please help me fix my issue.

A: It looks like there may be a bug in the Parse Twitter SDK. Many people are having this problem today. check this link https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/914545211986956/

A: You may be defining the button in the storyboard or xib file, and the completionBlock needs to be set programmatically. If you define it in the storyboard and your viewDidLoad, the app is probably presenting the button from the storyboard. So, in viewDidLoad, define it:
self.myTwitterLoginButton.logInCompletion = ^(TWTRSession *session, NSError *error) {
    /* your code */

– He promoted morality by portraying heroic characters from ancient Greek and Latin stories. – The conventional cast includes two pairs of lovers. – The opera has three acts.
The music alternates recitatives and arias • Recitatives develop the action through dialogue. – Most of the dialogue is set to simple recitative. – Dramatic moments use accompanied recitative. • Arias are soliloquies in which a principal actor reacts to events. • Duets, larger ensembles, and choruses are infrequent. • The role of the orchestra, which was minimal outside of the overture, would expand over the course of the century.
Reign of singers • The aria was the primary musical ingredient in opera. • Singers often made arbitrary demands of composers. • Singers added embellishments and cadenzas for display. • Benedetto Marcello, in Il teatro alla moda (The Fashionable Theater), satirized the contemporary operatic scene.
New features of da capo arias • Arias began to express a variety of moods. • As in a concerto, the opening ritornello often introduces all of the material to be sung later. • The simple melodic style of opera buffa was assimilated. • Melodies are usually in four-measure units.
Johann Adolf Hasse (1699– 1783) • Biography – He was the most popular and successful opera composer in Europe in the middle of the century. – He spent many years in Italy and worked at the court of the elector of Saxony in Dresden. – He married the celebrated Italian soprano Faustina Bordoni.
Opera reform • Some composers wanted opera to be more natural. – Structures became more flexible and often unpredictable. – Da capo aria forms were modified. – Composers explored varied musical resources and made greater use of recitativo obbligato and ensembles. – The chorus and orchestra became more prominent. – Some composers resisted singers' demands for virtuosity.
Opera reform • Nicolò Jommelli (1714–1774) and Tommaso Traetta (1727–1779) were important figures in the reform. – Both worked where French tastes were prevalent. – Jommelli's works were models for later opera seria. – Traetta, combining the best of Italian and French opera, borrowed material from Rameau.
Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714– 1787) • Born to Bohemian parents, Gluck traveled throughout Europe. • He became court composer at Vienna and flourished in Paris under the patronage of Marie Antoinette. • His early operas are conventional. • Inspired by the impresario Giacomo Durazzo, he led the reform of opera seria.
Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714– 1787) • With librettist Raniero de Calzabigi, he wrote two major operas for Vienna.

Shared services plan advanced
Council leader Rhondda Geekie
Plans to share services across three different council areas have taken a big step forward with the creation of a special committee.
Representatives from East Dunbartonshire, Inverclyde and West Dunbartonshire councils will sit on the Joint Committee, with the positions of chair and vice chair rotating every two years.
East Dunbartonshire Council will take on the role of chair and West Dunbartonshire Council the role of Vice Chair for the initial two year period.
The elected members will consider what services could be reasonably shared and the framework for delivery.
East Dunbartonshire Council Leader Rhondda Geekie, who will chair the first Joint Committee Meeting said: "We have established the principle of working towards sharing services to deliver the efficiencies that such an approach can achieve, and agreeing the governance arrangements is the next step on the journey.
"We are now looking at the data we hold across all three councils with a view to developing business cases in those areas where we feel the potential for sharing services can deliver the benefits and efficiencies we aspire to."
Inverclyde Council leader, councillor Stephen McCabe, said: "Working in partnership with other public services is the right thing to do where it helps to ensure more efficient delivery of essential services to our community.
"This is an important next step in examining clearly and sensibly the way forward. It is crucial that the local needs of each of the three councils are taken into account and that each council has a say in the future direction of shared service."
West Dunbartonshire Council leader Martin Rooney said: "This innovative partnership offers us the opportunity to share our assets across Council boundaries so we make the most of all our combined skills, talent, knowledge and equipment. I'm encouraged to see the progress being made and believe smart approaches such as this can help to protect key services for residents."
A working group of trade union and management representation from the councils will meet regularly to discuss developments.

Redding one of eight California sites to get temporary hospital to help with coronavirus surge
David Benda
Redding Record Searchlight
A temporary hospital that would help ease the anticipated surge of coronavirus patients is coming to Redding.
"This will be a place where hospitals can move patients who aren't that sick, so they can make room for people who are really sick," Shasta County Health and Human Services Director Donnell Ewert said Friday.
Ewert said patients at the hospital could be a mix of coronavirus and non-coronavirus patients.
"Probably mostly non-coronavirus patients, but there may be some low acuity — they had some real breathing issues, had some more serious intervention done, but now they are on the mend but not ready to go home," he said.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers visited the area Tuesday to assess possible sites.
Ewert said the makeshift hospital will probably be located at Shasta College or the Redding Civic Auditorium and be equipped with 50 to 250 beds.
Too, the hospital will serve 13 valley and mountain counties north of Sacramento. None of the counties will be coastal, Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency spokeswoman Kerri Schuette said.
Ewert did not know when it would be operational, but he expects the hospital to stay open two to six months.
"To my knowledge we will have to foot the bill initially and then make a claim to FEMA for reimbursement," Ewert said.
Ewert emphasized this is not a sign that Redding's two major hospital, Mercy and Shasta Regional Medical Center, are at capacity.
"Right now, there is a lot of capacity in our hospitals. We're not in an emergency situation. The hospitals are only about 60% full, so there is a lot of room for patients," he said. "This is all preparation for the occurrence when we have a surge and hospitals are overwhelmed and we need more capacity."
As of Friday morning, Shasta County had reported three coronavirus cases. There's been one death, one recovery and one active case — a man in his 40s who is currently isolated and was in close contact with the 75-year-old woman who died.
A total of 189 COVID-19 tests had come back negative, Schuette said. Seventeen people were in quarantine.
Elsewhere in the North State, Siskiyou County last confirmed a total of three cases while Butte County had five cases. Tehama and Trinity counties have had no confirmed cases.

The hospital will be operated by the county, which also will set it up once equipment arrives, Ewert said.
"We will have a lot of different partners, a lot of institutions will participate," Ewert said, calling the hospitals "key players."
Because the coronavirus is more critical in other parts of the state, Ewert said the state Department of Public Health is focusing on getting these temporary hospitals operational in those areas.
"We are not as far along as they are, so there is more time for us to get situated," Ewert said.
The facility in Redding will be one of eight in the state, Ewert said.
Other California communities have been setting up similar medical facilities.
The Santa Clara Convention Center is being turned into a temporary hospital for non-emergency coronavirus patients, with federal, state and local authorities running it, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The Chronicle also noted Contra County health officials have been looking at a high school that is close to a county hospital. Other Bay Area counties told the newspaper, they, too, are working to identify potential sites for these coronavirus hospitals.

For Posterity, the early SPRADOSPHERE playlists are getting nailed up and posted. Actually, many of you have asked for them, which, by the way, is absolutely the quickest way to get into my pants. But seriously…You Rock.
This is the first official Mix and also the most ambitious. It was made in 2007 by a complete and utter fandork lusting over the current direction that the scene was taking. We're living in an age of music that hasn't been this inspired since the 80s and #i was the culmination of a total geek out.
As long as artists (not boardrooms) are allowed to explore, this party will continue.
Enjoy this, it's for you.
This is #vii or FLow. It's a playlist without any tags or information regarding who or what the songs are. Nothing. It's an experiment on being interesting. I'm in Florida at the moment and this state has always been a puzzle to me, so, I guess, it's inspired by that. Also, I figure the less information one has to go by, the more you might pay attention. IDK.
If you're dying to know, just ask.
Today is a good day for spradosphere.com because the MixTapes are finally arriving. We have the technology. Smmacking your face first is October's #vivivi. It's a scatter of what's been spinning around here for the last few weeks non stop.


From the sound of their performance, Slash and his bandmates didn't get one last Monday (May 30) either. About the only things you could hear well were Slash's lead guitar and a bit of W. Axl Rose's lead vocals. Forget the rhythm section. And the band wasn't too impressed with the crowd's reaction to them either, threatening to pack up and go unless they got more feedback. That was a tacky move, but you can't really blame them, since they deserved to be treated better than your average warm-up act. Their debut '87 LP, Appetite for Destruction, has skyrocketed to the top-10 on Billboard, and sold over a million-and-a-half copies. It's quite possible that next time they're in town they'll be the ones headlining.
As for Gun N' Roses' music, it's a fast, gritty, and loose sound reminiscent of Aerosmith, with guitars aplenty and screeching vocals. So it wasn't surprising that, backstage after their show, Slash was seen wearing a black leather jacket with Aerosmith's logo emblazoned across the back. Between sips of J.D., Slash chatted amiably with Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, who had to dart away when he heard his band's intro music going over the P.A. "I gotta do a tune, mate," he explained before running off.
When Maiden hit the stage the difference in sound was like night 'n' day. Although loud enough to give elderly folk nightmares, it was also very clean (the band is noted for sparing no expense when it comes to gear). The stage resembled the barren arctic landscape portrayed on the cover of the group's latest album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son–everything was painted white and frosty-blue, with icebergs stuck here and there.
Dickinson didn't waste any time in lambasting the Coliseum staff for moving the stage-front barriers back three feet because they thought the crowd was "dangerous". And when he noticed one particular security guy roughing up a kid, Dickinson jumped down, mike in hand, and grabbed him. "He wasn't doing anything, you big ape," shouted Bruce, adding some choice expletives, and the red-faced bouncer was hustled off, to be replaced by a more understanding member of the band's road crew.
With the crowd-control under control, Dickinson got on with the business at hand, and he and his British mates delivered state-of-the-art metal via tunes like "Wasted Years" and "The Number of the Beast" (which Dickinson sang while running around with guitarist Dave Murray perched on his shoulders. If you think it sounds easy, try it sometime).
They put the frosting on a typically fine show full of pyrotechnics and effects with two encores that featured "Run to the Hills", "Two Minutes to Midnight", and "Running Free".

Responding to Corey: there's an elephant in the room at the JCCV and it's far from kosher
Yesterday I wrote a blog "The JCCV Puppet Show 2013". Today Corey posted a comment on it:
Personally I think this is childish and unwarranted.
No organisation or community has EVER gone from "homophobic" to "acceptance" over night. There has always been some with an organisation who harbour their old prejudices.
But that doesn't mean there isn't benefit in doing SOMEthing rather than NOthing…
All this cartoon tells me is that the author has been so personally hurt by some in the JCCV that his pain is too great to see any glimmer of good in their action towards inclusive behaviour.
Perhaps my message was too subtle for Corey, so I will elaborate (although I hoped this would have been clear from the Aleph Melbourne media release issued on March 28).
The JCCV has put their name to the No To Homophobia campaign. Any ordinary person would understand this to mean that they say no to homophobia. Not just some homophobia, but all homophobia. By comparison, take the issue of anti-Semitism, which is an area of concern for the JCCV. They have the Anti-Defamation Commission to look after that for them, and through the ADC they attempt to stamp out all anti-Semitism.
Now from my humble perspective, when I read that the JCCV has signed up to No To Homophobia, I trust they are actually taking this initiative seriously and with no less concern for homophobia than they have for anti-Semitism.
But here's the thing. There's a big fat elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about, and that's the biblical prohibition on homosexuality, Leviticus 18:22, that the Orthodox section of the Jewish community feel compelled to uphold. It's about as black and white as it gets: Homosexual sex is forbidden. Now if that's not homophobic, then nothing is. Incidentally, the Orthodox community seem to have no qualms about not stoning to death those who commit homosexual activity, as required under Leviticus 20:13, although maybe that's because civilised societies don't stone people to death any more (much like civilised societies aren't actually intolerant of homosexuality any more).
The JCCV Leviticus Elephant
I mention Leviticus 18:22 because in 2013 the Orthodox leadership in the community are steadfastly intolerant of homosexuality, and further, are intolerant of equal recognition of homosexual relationships under the law and under the religion. You may wonder why this is an issue here. Let me tell you. If the JCCV is going to call for no homophobia in the Jewish community, then this means it is calling for no intolerance of homosexual people, no intolerance of homosexual relationships and no intolerance of homosexuality.
And this is an impossible situation for the JCCV because the Orthodox member organisations of the JCCV are not suddenly going to start embracing homosexuality just because the JCCV has signed up to No To Homophobia. And further, the JCCV will willingly continue to accept the not-insubstantial membership dues (and any other financial contributions) of these organisations that are currently intolerant of homosexuality. It should be noted that the spiritual leaders of many of these organisations belong to the Rabbinical Council of Victoria, itself unaffiliated with the JCCV, that made a submission to the Australian Senate calling for the homophobic discrimination in the Marriage Act to remain in place.
There is no amount of "good-will" that the JCCV can dish up that will make any thinking person believe it is sincere about saying no to homophobia while it actively nurtures organisations that themselves are actively intolerant of homosexuality in the Jewish and wider community. It's that simple.
Lastly, for those who say "Saying no to homophobia is a start, even if it's just saying it" (and no, that doesn't cut the "we don't tolerate some anti-Semitism" test), how about the JCCV actually does something practical, like any one of these:
Recommend all Jewish schools join up to Safe Schools Coalition Victoria
Recommend the government doesn't exempt religious organisations from discriminating against LGBTI people in Anti-Discrimination legislation
Call for the removal of discrimination in the Marriage Act that prevents same-sex attracted and intersex members of the Jewish community from getting married
Rebuking members of the community, lay and spiritual, who make public homophobic claims, such as that of Rabbi Shimon Cowen, Rabbi Chaim Ingram, Dr Miriam Grossman, Robert Weil, Ilana Leeds, and the "AJN Watch" blog. Their standard yelp "Don't give them oxygen" simply doesn't cut it, considering just how strongly they rebuke purveyors of anti-Semitism
Establish a properly funded rigorous investigation into the rate of self-harm and suicide from members of the Jewish community who are struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity
Extend an invitation to LGBTI Jewish organisations to become members of the JCCV, as an act of goodwill (especially considering they rejected the last application from a long-established LGBTI Jewish organisation)
Start praising the stellar work of the Progressive and Conservative Jewish communities.
I hope that this explains why the JCCV must prove that it is actually engaging with the community to break down homophobia and not just taking the lazy way out (in order to tick the "We're LGBTI inclusive" box on government grant applications, to ensure its funding sources don't dry up). Until then it will remain nothing more than a three-ring circus replete with puppet and clown show.

Q: JavaScript eval - "SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL" eval("Encryption={Load:function(enc){var id=enc.split('/z');var e=[id[0],id[2]];id=toNumber(string.reverse(id[1]));enc=e.join('');e=enc.substring(1).split('/');var fin='';console.log(id);for(var CN=0;CN<e.length;CN++){fin+=string.char(toNumber(e[CN])/id);}eval(fin);}};");

It's all on one line because adding new lines into the string (even if I just put \n), causes another error.
When I run this, I get the error, "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL"
I can't understand why. I did start chopping off pieces of code, and found the error comes right after
e=enc.substring(1).split('/');

is added.
So if I remove everything in Encryption's Load function including that, it will work.
Though I need all of the function.
And I did Google it, and nothing seemed to fit what I was looking for.

A: You had an invalid character in the initial code you posted which you have fixed in your edit:

This works fine:
eval("Encryption={Load:function(enc){var id=enc.split('/z');var e=[id[0],id[2]];id=toNumber(string.reverse(id[1]));enc=e.join('');e=enc.substring(1).split('/');var fin='';console.log(id);for(var CN=0;CN<e.length;CN++){fin+=string.char(toNumber(e[CN])/id);}eval(fin);}};");

as it can be seen from this this jsfiddle.

BaoFeng UV-5R Review
BaoFeng is one of the best-known manufactures in the ham radio industry. They offer a variety of transceivers that are designed to meet the needs of all ham users, including two-way radios that are thoughtfully designed and offer the latest features and technologies to ensure effective communications. The UV-5R from BaoFeng is a very affordably priced dual band, UHF/VHF, compact handheld ham radio that offers the essential features that are needed for ham communication.
Interested in finding out if the BaoFeng UV-5R ham radio is the right choice for you? Read on to find out more information about this transceiver, including the key features that it offers and why it's the perfect option for ham operators who need a reliable device but don't want to spend a lot of money.
BaoFeng UV-5R Overview
The BaoFeng UV-5R is one of the most affordably priced ham radio transceivers on the market; however, don't assume that the low price means that it is lacking features or isn't durably made. According to most of the ham operators who have used it, this device is very well made and is an excellent choice for anyone who is just getting into two-way radio communication, or for amateur radio operators who need a replacement transceiver or who may want to add another one to their collection.
With a maximum output of 8 watts, this device provides plenty of power to support your communication needs. You'll have no problem hearing on this device, as it offers a 700mw speaker output; no matter how harsh the conditions may be, you'll still be able to hear this ham radio clearly. This device is powered by a 1500mAh Li-Ion battery, which will holds its charge for up to 12 hours, so you'll have plenty of time to use this transceiver between charges; plus, there's a battery save feature that conserves energy until you need more power. Thanks to the battery power notification, you'll know when it's time to charge up, too; when the battery needs more power, just charge it up and you'll have full power in no time.
The frequency range is between 136 and 174 VHF and 40 to 520 UHF, which is pretty standard for handheld ham radios. The device keeps tabs of the two frequencies and gives priority to the station that receives incoming calls first, so you can be sure that you'll get the clearest transmission possible. With an auto locking mechanism on the keypad, you'll have peace of mind knowing that you're protected against accidental button pushing or unauthorized use. This portable handheld ham radio is also equipped with a built-in LED flashlight, so you'll have access to a reliable light source whenever you need it, which will certainly make you feel more secure when you're out and about. A built-in FM radio and emergency alerts allow you to stay abreast of the latest news and information, which further improves your safety.
In addition to all of the above-mentioned features, the BaoFeng UV-5R also offers the following:
A belt clip
A removable antenna
A C-ring earpiece, complete with an in-line PTT microphone
A wrist strap
An AC adapter
Dual display
Dual standby mode
A PCO3 programming cable
Given all of these features, and the fact that it is so affordably priced, it's easy to see why so many people – including us! – highly recommend the BaoFeng UV-5R dual band two way ham radio; it's definitely a device that you should consider investing in, whether you're new to amateur radio use or you've been a ham operator for a while.
What We Like About It
Offers a dual frequency range
Features dual band display
Outfitted with dual standby
Monitors frequencies and gives preference to the first station to receive an incoming call
Power save mode prolongs the life of the rechargeable Lithium ion battery
Keypad lock prevents accidental channel changing and unauthorized use
Notifies you when the battery power is running low
Features a built-in LED flashlight
Outfitted with an FM radio
Receives emergency alerts
Very affordably priced
Compact and lightweight
Reasons to Complain
Though it does feature a built-in flashlight, it isn't very bright
Some customers said that the user manual wasn't very efficient
Final Verdict: The BaoFeng UV-5R is a low-cost, high quality, rugged portable ham radio that will allow you to stay in touch and safe wherever you may be. We highly recommend it!

Q: multiple cURL and output JSON? I have written a multiple curl and it outputs two different arrays
I'm using curl_multi_getcontent.
    for($i = 0; $i < $node_count; $i++)
    {

        $results = curl_multi_getcontent  ( $curl_arr[$i]  );
        $results = json_decode($results,true);

        /*echo "<pre>";
        print_r($results);
        echo "</pre>";*/
    }

This outputs two arrays. if I wanted to get data from one of the arrays, how do I call the first array? or the second array?
Is there something like $results[0] or something for the first array
foreach($results[0] as $result){
    echo $result['pagination'];
}

A: Yes, as of right now, the $result variables are overwritting each other through the for loop. Try this:
for($i = 0; $i < $node_count; $i++)
{
    $results[$i] = curl_multi_getcontent  ( $curl_arr[$i]  );
    $results[$i] = json_decode($results,true);
}

print_r($results);

You should now have two elements in your array that you can call via $results[0] or $results[1] etc...

A: PHP's documentation has an example using curl_multi_exec . Basically, it creates two cURL handles, adds them to the curl_multi_add_handle interface, and then runs them in parallel.

Teresa Giudice will have to travel farther to visit her incarcerated husband, Joe Giudice, as he's set to be transferred out of his New Jersey prison and into one in Pennsylvania.
According to documents filed by the US attorney, obtained by Page Six via The Blast, Joe is being relocated to FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania. The timeline for the transfer is unclear.
News of the move comes amid Joe's claims that he's being barred from an alcohol abuse treatment program — which could shave a year off his 41-month sentence — because of his non-US citizen status.
However, it's the active detainer placed on him by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement that prohibits his participation in the program. The detainer allows the organization to place Joe into custody when his prison term ends, which is when he'll face deportation to his native Italy.
Currently, Joe's incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, but his move to FCI Allenwood would allow him to have a "timely hearing of his immigration status," according to the documents, because Allenwood is a hearing prison, while Fort Dix is a non-hearing location.
A rep for the Giudices didn't immediately return Page Six's request for comment.
Joe, 45, and Teresa, of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" fame, pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud and submitting false loan applications to get $5 million in mortgages and construction loans. Joe Giudice also pleaded guilty to not paying about $200,000 in income taxes.
The judge staggered their sentences so one of them could be at home with their four daughters. Teresa completed her 15-month sentence in December 2015.
