Q: How can I get latitude & longitude by using address from google geocode API in Configure.IT API flow How can I get latitude & longitude values by using address from below geocode API inside Configure.IT API flow.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=XXXXX&key=XXXXX
In below flow chart, before insert customer data I need to fetch lat & lng values and store those values into customer table.

A: ConfigureIT provides API Connector block for connecting to external datasources and fetching data. You need to insert API Connector block before INSERT_CUSTOMER_DATA block.
Follow the steps and example screenshots given below :-
1) Add an input parameter for supplying address.

2) Save your changes and in next step double-click API Connector block, to add in to your API configuration flow chart.

3) In API Connector block configuration dialog, select Custom for API Type

4) And then enter "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json" in API URL field and in input parameters section add and input parameter, address and link it to API input Parameter(we added in step 1) address and then click Save & Next to proceed to next step.

5) Now you need to set up API output. Enter test input and then for getting whole result from google api in result select Current Format
 and for specific part of the response, select Specific Result

6) Save all your API changes and then Execute to check the result

Hope this helps..

A: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=&key=
You have to pass your Google service API key to above URL then you will get
the result in json format as:

Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) announced that a bill he sponsored to reduce the number of signatures required for candidates to get on the 2019 ballot has passed the Assembly (A.2570).
Earlier this month, the state Legislature passed and the governor signed into law legislation consolidating the federal and state primary to the fourth Tuesday in June, meaning candidates must submit signatures about three months earlier than the last primary (Ch. 5 of 2019). This means that the petition process will start on Feb. 26, making it more difficult to knock on doors to collect signatures in time, especially in the middle of the brutal North Country winter season, noted Jones.
Jones' legislation would reduce the number of signatures required on candidates' designating petitions by one-quarter, except for those running for office in New York City, and only applies to the current year.

Mom Texting Son At Lollapalooza Doesn't Know How To Interpret 'I'm on LSD'
Entertainment, Local, Music
By: Jason Elewski
CHICAGO—Parents whose teens are attending Lollapalooza this weekend know a thing or two about keeping it real, but at least one local mom forgot to take her chill pill before letting her son attend the music fest. Despite the reassuring notion that hospitals are preparing for an influx of badass kids who have out-awesomed themselves this year, Lauren Wilkinson can't stop being a stick in the mud after receiving at text update from her son, which stated that he was "on LSD". Lauren felt at ease for a moment, assuming that her baby boy was heading home on Lake Shore Drive, but like an acid flashback, she suddenly remembered that LSD is also the name of a popular hallucinogenic drug. That's when the panic kicked in.
Sure, the text could mean that her son is in a Lyft, safely returning to mommy after a night of responsibly attending a good clean mediocre snooze fest, but this is Lollapalooza and Lauren's son has never been known for being a mainstream milquetoast, making the message incredibly hard to decipher. Attempting to kill her son's buzz and most assuredly ruin the multigasmic experience of seeing Arcade Fire in a park full of his peers passing out around him from a mix of summer heat and MDMA, Mrs. Wilkinson fired off several text messages that embarrassingly requested any indication that her son is "okay" and "alive".
About an hour after his initial text message, Lauren's son finally responded to the slew of eye-roll-inducing pleas to reply. Graciously, he made sure to tell her, "Had to exit Lyft cuz we on E. Jim takin a pee after 2 much coke. Gonna pck [sic] up molly and crystal after." The update did nothing to mellow Mrs. Wilkinson.

Q: How generalize the code and improve performance by fixing output datatable or similar? I have this:

res[[paste0("E1")]][[paste0("result",2)]] <- list(`before` = 70.89,`after` = 71.53)
res[[paste0("E1")]][[paste0("result",5)]] <- list(`before` = 17.39,`after` = 26.97)

res[[paste0("E2")]][[paste0("result",1)]] <- list(`before` = 134.4367,`after` = 127.89)
res[[paste0("E2")]][[paste0("result",2)]] <- list(`before` = 71.53,`after` = 65.175)

  round(4)  %>%
  datatable(,rownames = FALSE, selection = 'none', options = list(dom = 't', lengthMenu = list(c(-1), c('All')))) %>%

    formatStyle(c(1:5), fontWeight = 'bold',Color = styleEqual(round(E3[1:i],4),replicate(i, "green"))) -> Matrix_Result_3
}

Frist problem:
The result of Matrix E0 is returning the same for all other E1:E3. In the image in Result output would be the minimum to be returned. I had to represent the values manually.
The result I really want to be returned is the same as the Expert output for each analyzed result.
Second problem:

*

*I can't apply the change only to the cells corresponding to the
result;

*Color only the cells that have updated the value of
res[[j]][[ i ]][[ "after" ]] , as the expected output;

*Generalize code and improve performance.

A: You could use something like
library("tidyverse", "DT")

# Start
D <- data.frame(A = c(3.7, 7.8, 8.9, 7.0, 3.4),
                B = c(2.7, 8.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0),
                C = c(9.1, 1.5, 2.7, 9.0, 5.0)) %>%
  dist()

# control
res <- list(E1 = list(result1 = list(`before` = 102.66,`after` = 134.4367),
                      result2 = list(`before` = 70.89,`after` = 71.53),
                      result5 = list(`before` = 17.39,`after` = 26.97)),
            E2 = list(result1 = list(`before` = 134.4367,`after` = 127.89),
                      result2 = list(`before` = 71.53,`after` = 65.175)),
            E3 = list(result3 = list(`before` = 127.89,`after` = 123.462)))

# initializing E0
# instead of Matrix_Result-Variable store everything in a list
# the elements are named E0, E1, ...
# the first element of a E*-list is a distance-vector-object
# the second element is a symmetric distance matrix
# both rounded to four digits
res_data <- list(
  E0 = list(
    round(D^2, 4),
    as.matrix(round(D^2, 4))
    )
  )

# Now use a double loop to iterate over the "res"-list

for (i in seq_along(res)) {

  res_data[[names(res)[i]]][[1]] <- res_data[[i]][[1]]

  for(j in seq_along(res[[i]])) {

    target <- res[[i]][[c(j,1)]] == res_data[[i]][[1]]

    if (any(target)) {
      res_data[[i+1]][[1]][target] <- res[[i]][[c(j,2)]]
    }
  }

  res_data[[i+1]][[2]] <- as.matrix(res_data[[i+1]][[1]])

  datatable(
    res_data[[i+1]][[2]],
    rownames = FALSE,
    selection = 'none',
    options = list(
      dom = 't',
      lengthMenu = list(
        c(-1),
        c('All')
        )
      )
    ) %>%
    print()

}

Missing part
I don't know how to color the output. I think you are able to figure it out.
You probably can optimize the code by using apply-functions, but that doesn't improve readability.

Every year, there are thousands of homeowners who decide to replace their old garage doors and buy a new one for their houses. With just a huge number of choices available for customers today, it gets difficult for many people to choose which garage entry doors they would purchase.
Basically, there are three choices when it comes to garage doors. You can choose single panel doors, sectional doors, or roller doors. Since roller doors are usually used for commercial spaces, homeowners often select between sectional and single panel.
Here are some facts about the two options.
Single Panel Garage Doors. Single panel garage doors have always been the go-to style for many years in the past. But today, the popularity of this type has been overtaken by the sectional garage doors. One advantage of single panel doors is the price. Most sectional doors are at least 15% more expensive than these types. However, single panel doors also have their disadvantages. Since the door would swing up as a single unit, there needs to be a space in front of the garage while the door is in motion. A damaged part of the door would also mean that the whole door will be replaced since it acts as a single unit.
Sectional Garage Doors. More people are into sectional doors these days because they are more stable and reliable than the single panel type. Even if it is slightly more expensive, a sectional door can easily slide up and open even if your car is parked right next to the doorway opening. The number of sections in the door mechanism can vary between manufacturers. But in all cases, each section is directly connected to the tracks of the door which makes these types of exterior doors a lot more secure than single panel doors.

Humphreys Joins Spireites
Experienced utility player Ritchie Humphreys has joined the Spireites on a one-year contract after impressing on trial.
Humphreys was a free agent after spending 12 years at Hartlepool United, during which time he made over 500 appearances to set a new club record.
After starting out as a striker at Sheffield Wednesday, he earned a reputation for versatility at Hartlepool, playing on the left wing, at left-back and in central midfield.
Humphreys said: "I'm really excited at the prospect of a fresh challenge. I've been so impressed with the players, management team and facilities at the club and I can't wait to get started. This is a fantastic football club and I'm delighted to be a part of it."
Manager Paul Cook believes Humphreys will be a very useful addition to the squad. He said: "Ritchie's had a good career and we're delighted he has agreed to join us. He has trained with us and showed great professionalism with a superb attitude to training. He'll offer cover in various positions."
Meanwhile, Cook revealed that talks are being held with Marine centre-back Matty Brown, who has been on trial. "We're speaking to Matty about terms and hopefully if that's agreeable with everybody, there could be a deal to be done. The same would apply for Jamie Devitt."
John Shaw and Conor Clifford have both departed after training with the club but French midfielder Hendrick Cakin remains on trial.

"SPREE 2019" - Vigour. Valour. Victory.
"SPREE 2019" – Vigour. Valour. Victory.
Spree'19 , themed as "Vigour. Valour. Victory", promises excitement from 29th to 31st of March. The expected participant number is estimated to cross 3000 this year. With this year's theme, Spree is predestined to enthrall its audience with the quality of the participants for various sports.
Every year the number of participants in this intercollegiate sports and entertainment festival is on the rise, thus providing a stiff competitive quality to each of the sporting events like football, basketball, cricket, volleyball, badminton, tennis, squash, table tennis, carom, chess, kabaddi and powerlifting. Colleges from across the country in major cities like Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Indore and so on, compete to be crowned Spree champions along with cash prizes.
Spree has always been more than just a conventional sports fest. It continues to promote evolving sports like Ultimate Frisbee, Kho Kho, Tug of war, Gully cricket and Futsal. The "Act to Inspire" campaign, initiated in the year 2013, has Spree working with CRY for organizing blood donation camps and Clean-Up drives, in cities where pre-Spree elimination are conducted. Spree along with the NGO Nirmaan organizes Udaan, an event for specially abled children. The Spree Marathon is conducted in Panjim and is a 10km run in support of the 'don't drink and drive' campaign, in association with Diego and has participants from all over Goa.
Spree also provides its participants with a chance to attend guest talks from famous current and past sportsmen. They inspire participants to follow their passion and perform to their optimal capability. Famous personalities like Kapil Dev, Simon Taufel, Abhinav Bindra and many more have inspired countless participations to follow their dreams. Along with that, during the three nights, participants enjoy great live music from renowned DJs and bands. World famous artists like Nucleya and The Train, to name a few of many, who have performed in previous editions of spree.
It is surely going to be a unique and memorable experience for all the participants as well as the onlookers.


One thing that stands out in this already-staggering fire season is the repeated accounts of bizarre fire behavior that seem to defy conventional wisdom.
Now, scientists are looking for new clues to that behavior. It turns out that the smoke plume from a wildfire tells its own complex story that contains some of those clues, and in California, there's a new breed of "smoke chaser" looking to decode them.
When I arrive at the Carr Fire's incident command post in Anderson, just south of Redding, Craig Clements had just come out of a briefing with the incident meteorologist. Every big fire has one.
"They're having issues with the smoke and they want to know how deep it is," explains Clements. "We're gonna map the smoke layer."
Clements runs the Fire Weather Research Lab at San Jose State State University -- and he's taken it on the road. The lab's mobile unit is a white, heavy-duty pickup, outfitted with a cluster of weather instruments and a LIDAR unit. LIDAR is kind of like radar, but instead of using radio waves, shoots a beam of light skyward, in this case to make a vertical map of the smoke column.
"We can track the smoke," says Clements, "but we can also measure the wind circulation patterns in the smoke plume."
Meteorology student Jackson Yip pulls the rig off of Highway 299 onto an open field, about 5 miles from the fire line, and gets to work inflating a small weather balloon -- about four feet across. It carries a transmitter the size of an eyeglass case, called a radiosonde, that will send data back to the truck. He lets it go and it shoots into the air.
"That's a good sight. Come on, keep goin', keep goin'!," urges Clements.
It will keep going, sampling and transmitting data back once every second, until it reaches 40,000 feet or more above the earth. The fire lab crew will transmit their data to the meteorologist on duty at the command post, where it can help form a better picture of conditions aloft.
Launch sites for weather balloons are "few and far between," according to Clements, so the team's ability to launch on site was a boon to the "i-met," the incident meteorologist who asked them to do so.
"Wow--look at that," Clements exclaims, as the information starts to form a picture. The first thing they notice is a strong inversion: a layer of air about 9,000 feet up that's warmer than the air below.
"The air's really, really warm above," he observes.
That warm air acts as a lid on the lower atmosphere, which helps explain why the entire Sacramento Valley seems to be enshrouded in a yellow, smokey haze. But what the team is really looking for, are signs that the fire's behavior might be changing.
"If you have a very convective day, let's say, in the atmosphere, where a lot of vertical motion is occurring," Clements explains, "that can impact the fire behavior."
One thing they can spot is something called a "velocity couplet," where winds above the fire are moving in opposite directions, just meters apart. That indicates rotation, and the possible formation of fire "tornadoes," like the one that added to the devastation near Redding.
They're not seeing that on this day -- but as the information comes in, it reveals something else that's potentially dangerous.
"The air is really, really dry aloft," notes Clements, "so if that really dry air mixes down to the surface, it could really impact fire behavior, because it'll dry out the fuels."
For now, it's something to keep an eye on -- no need to sound an alarm.
"As air descends, it'll only warm more and get drier," explains grad student Matthew Brewer. "If the sun's able to warm the surface, and you start to get surface mixing, and we get convection, and get these big circulations going, and that could bring down some of the dry air; as air comes up, air has to come back down."
Currently, San Jose State has the only mobile fire weather lab in the nation, and the immediate goal is research. But Clements hopes they can make the case for units like this to become a staple of wildfire management -- especially when current fires seem to be breaking all the conventional rules of fire behavior.
"There are general rules of thumb," Clements says, "but it doesn't always happen. And so the more observations we can get on a wildfire in terms of meteorology, fire behavior, and fuels conditions, the better for predicting the fire."
But maybe the bottom line of why they're out here was best expressed by the undergrad student in the crew, 23-year-old Jackson Yip.
"Well, the papers that will be coming out of these observations and the knowledge we gain from it will ultimately save property and save lives," he says.
This fall, the lab is adding a Ka-band mobile Doppler radar unit to its arsenal. Clements says that will give them unprecedented range and power to demystify the forces inside a fire's smoke plume.

Tutto Verdi: I Vespri Siciliani
Written by Neil Kurtzman | 15th August 2015
I Vespri Siciliani is the least performed of Verdi's mature works. It was written for the Paris Opéra to a French text by Eugène Scribe and Charles Duveyrier (Les vêpres siciliennes). While the opera is occasionally performed in its original French version, it is typically presented in its Italian translation. Verdi just sounds better in Italian. This 2010 production from Parma is, of course, in that language.
I can't offer a good reason for the infrequency of performance of Vespri. It is a masterpiece worthy of any of Verdi's much more frequently performed works from his middle period. It's easily as good as La Forza del Destino. Yet Forza has had 229 stagings at the Met while Vespri has had only 45.
Verdi clearly had Giacomo Meyerbeer in mind, specifically his Les Huguenots, when he composed his first original opera for Paris. He had converted I Lombardi to Jérusalem for the Opéra in 1847. While the music was new, the libretto was not. It had started out as Le duc d'Albe (Il duca d'Alba) by the same two librettists who had given it to Donizetti. He never finished it, so Scribe and Duveyrier moved the locale from Flanders to Sicily and convinced Verdi to set it to music. Verdi as was his custom required numerous changes. The opera received its premiere on June 13, 1855.
It's reception was generally favorable. Berlioz who was as great a music critic as he was a composer wrote the following: Without casting a slur on the merits of Il Trovatore and so many other moving works of his, it must be agreed that in the Vêpres, the penetrating intensity of melodic expression, the sumptuous variety, the judicious sobriety of the orchestration, the amplitude, the poetic sonority of his morceaux d'ensemble [ensemble pieces], the warm colors glowing everywhere and that sense of power, impassioned but slow to employ itself, that is one of the characteristics of Verdi's genius, stamp the whole work with grandeur, a sovereign majesty more marked than in the composer's previous creations. What a sentence. Perhaps the great Hector has misplaced his periods when he wrote it.
This opera shows that Verdi, like his musical hero Rossini, had completely mastered the French Grand Opera form brought to prominence by Meyerbeer to a degree that exceed Meyerbeer. His mastery of this form was to be realized at an even higher artistic level a decade later in Don Carlo(s). When Verdi brought the opera to Italy it couldn't be set in Sicily owing to the Bourbon censorship that was down to its last breath. So it was moved to Portugal. When Italy was unified in 1861, it settled for good in Sicily usually with its Italian text. But it lost out to Verdi's other masterpieces and became an operatic rarity. In 2013/14 it received 25 performances worldwide and that was more than usual.
Why is it not part of the standard operatic repertory? It may be that the French Grand Opera style with its more restrained emotional display is responsible. But if that were the case Don Carlo(s) would not enjoy the popularity is does. For whatever reason, it's a mostly ignored work by opera's most popular composer. A final word on performance frequency. Les Huguenots had only 5 stagings in 2013/14 and that was more than any other of its composer's operas.
Leo Nucci as Guido di Montforte
The opera's story is loosely based on the uprising on Sicily against French rule that occurred in 1282. Over about six weeks thousands of Frenchmen were killed and the French were driven from the island. In the opera the French are massacred at the wedding of Arrigo and Elena. The former is the illegitimate son of the French leader Monforte while Elena is the sister of the executed (ordered by Monforte) Austrian duke Frederick. Thus, we have the soprano, tenor, and baritone. You can easily figure out who's who. The bass, Procida, doesn't appear until the second act. He's the leader of the Sicilian insurrectionists and the typical implacable Verdi bass like Silva in Ernani.
Procida, Arrigo, and Elena want to get rid of the French. Arrigo loves Elena. She says she'll love him back if he'll kill Montfort. He's OK with this arrangement until he discovers that Montfort is his father. It seems that 18 years earlier Monforte had forcibly made Arrigo's mother his mistress. She's now dead but left a letter asking Monforte to treat their son well. He's delighted to do so and wants Arrigo to acknowledge him as his father – an unusual reversal of the typical bastard/father relationship. Arrigo agrees to do so in order to save Elena and Procida from execution. This after he's stopped them from killing Monforte. The three way conflict that Arrigo suffers from will be illustrated below. Monforte is so happy with his reluctant son that he arranges for him to marry Elena whereupon the French are massacred.
There's even more, but it suffices that Verdi here first shows his unique ability to blend the public and the private into a dramatically coherent whole. This unequaled skill would characterize most of his subsequent work and set it above that of every other composer for the lyric theater.
It seems odd that Verdi would choose a story for the Paris Opéra that has the French as the bad guys and which concludes with all of them being slaughtered. Equally strange is that the two French librettists were also not bothered by making their countrymen both villains and victims.
The Parma production, as is standard for that house, has very sparse sets which merely suggest what's going on. Pier Luigi Pizzi set the action in the 19th century rather than the 13th. I suspect he was trying to evoke the Risorgimento. The sets and costumes didn't add much, but neither did they distract. What was distracting was the constant marching up and down the aisles of the theater by both the chorus and the principals. I can think of no reason for doing this other than that it was possible.
The four principals on this recording are all up to the demands Verdi makes of his soloists. The ageless Leo Nucci, 68 at the time of this recording and still singing as of this writing, is the French leader. Monforte is the most human character in this opera. He is sorry for the rotten way he treated Arrigo's mother. He wants the French and Sicilians to get along, though on French terms. And he wants a relationship with his son. What he gets is death. Unusual for a Verdi opera all the other leading figures are still alive at the curtain. Nucci has the Verdi style down to the last strophe. His voice is still rich and smooth from top to bottom. While he moves like an old man he sings liked a much younger one.
Fabio Armiliato and Daniela Dessi
Fabio Armiliato is a fine spinto tenor who is up to the high pressure vocal emissions Verdi requires from his tenor in this opera. I'm not going to present the excerpts from Vespri in the order in which they appear. So here is the great tenor-baritone duet from Act 3. Verdi never wrote a better duet. In this piece Monforte reveals to Arrigo that he is his son. Arrigo is torn three ways. First he fears he will lose Elena because he promised her he would kill Monforte who now turns out to be his father. Then he doesn't know how to treat his new found father. And finally he recalls how badly his mother was treated by his father. At the end of this duet he's an emotional chimera. The skill with with Verdi handles this situation is Olympian. The main theme first sung by the baritone and later by the tenor is part of the overture, which incidentally is probably the finest Verdi ever wrote. Equally impressive is the dramatic tension that builds throughout the duet. Verdi was the master of the tenor-baritone duet and even by his lofty standard this number stands alone. A work of genius. Quando al mio.
Elena is played by soprano Daniela Dessì. The part calls for a lirico-spinto and is accordingly just right for her voice. She both acts and sings her part with conviction. She has three solos, the most famous of which is the bolero from Act 5. But here is the moving Arrigo! Ah, parli a un core from Act 4 in which she forgives Arrigo for having stopped her and Procida from killing Montfort in the 3rd act. An action that both view as a betrayal as he was in on the plot before learning of his paternity.
Procida is bass Giacomo Prestia. He has made his career mainly in Europe singing at most of the continent's leading houses. The bass staple O tu, Palermo occurs just after Procida makes his entrance in Act 2. Procida declares his love and loyalty to his country and city. Prestia's lyric bass is pleasant and satisfying.
The opera's big concertato concludes Act 3. It depicts everyone's reactions to Arrigo's stopping of Monforte's murder by the Sicilian plotters. It's one of Verdi's best even considering that this was another operatic form which he dominated.
Verdi spent a lot of time and effort with his librettists trying to get a quartet into the opera. What emerged was Addio, mia patria which appears nears the end of the third act. Monforte wants Arrigo to acknowledge him as his father. Arrigo is torn. Procida and Elena want him to refuse even if it means they will be executed. Another example of Verdi's superb ensemble writing.
The main problem with this recording, aside from all the marching up and down the aisles, is the conducting. Massimo Zanetti' leadership lack the drive and propulsive force so essential to Verdi. He's competent, but nothing more.
Francis Toye, Verdi's first biographer in English, and generally a very astute analyst of Verdi's work, thought that there was little of musical interest in this opera. I suspect he never heard it performed. I Vespri Siciliani clearly is the equal of its coevals by Verdi and deserves to be performed as often.
A gratuitous extra: This run of Vespri was the one where the tenor, Fabio Armiliato, was booed off the stage and replaced by Kim Myung Ho in civvies holding a score. The Parma company was lucky to have recorded a few performances unaccompanied by mayhem. Parma is famous for its rough handling of singers. Go here for the details.

Excellent plot summary. I have always liked this opera and appreciate the background you give of its composition. Thank you

Great review. I love your blog! Thanks for the music highlights. Nucci is ageless. So nice to hear Verdi nowadays flavored with the right seasonings in the sauce! I can do without the other principals. Armiliato has always been a favorite of mine since I first heard in Trovatore in San Francisco twenty-one years ago. Still, here he is impressive for his age but he is not seemingly as comfortable as is Nucci.
Yes the conductor is nothing more than a time keeper and the chorus and orchestra are too far in the distance and the soloists are unevenly miked, some not at all it seems. Yet how thrilling is Verdi even under less that ideal conditions?
I too think Vespri is underrated and under-performed. I prefer it to Don Carlos, which is the gloomiest opera Verdi ever wrote. The ballet is the best ballet music in all of the 19th Century to my ears. I'm sure it was excised in this production. The opera deserves to be performed more often and the reasons being, the level of vocal artistry needed is much, much more difficult than Don Carlos. My favorite concertante finale is the one at the end of Act IV, which simply goes off, providing the conductor does not make cuts, which always destroy the sweep of Verdi.

2AM Seulong is jealous of Sunye!
angelclowie18 4:49:00 AM 2AM, Im Seulong, NEWS, Sunye, Wonder Girls Comments
Im Seulong "I'm jealous of Sunye, I want to get married too and have a child."
Jung Jinwoon "I couldn't date after I debuted. I don't even remember when the last time I dated was."
2AM have revealed their inner thoughts and true feelings about love and dating.
While participating in the pictorial photoshoot for the February edition, 2AM have also carefully shown their thoughts about dating while living as an idol in an interview done by "AtStyle" (@star1) that will be included in the March 21st edition of the magazine.
2AM have not once been revealed that they're in a relationship or the sort since their debut. Jo Kwon did have past activities with Brown Eyed Girl's Gain as a make-believe married couple in MBC "We Got Married," but that was it. And even with that, none of the members really have been rumored or even in a love scandal not even once, including Jo Kwon.
When Jung Jinwoon was asked when was the last time he dated, he confessed, "It has been so long, I can't really remember." He continued, "After 2AM debuted, I couldn't find the time to date. I was busy exercising and practicing and all, there was really no time for it. It's not that I don't want to date, but my ideal type is a girlfriend that I can be comfortable with, even in public."
At the news of Im Seulong's close friend and fellow colleague, Sunye, getting married, he confessed, "I'm still not sure about dating for now, but one thing for sure is I do want to get married as fast as possible. That's why I'm quite jealous of Sunye. Moreover, I really adore children, so I really want to get married soon and have a child of my own."
On a side note, 2AM is scheduled to have a comeback with a new album in the first-half of 2013. This has been the February edition of "AtStyle" filled with 2AM's new year's honest thoughts and stories.

Help Collect Signatures Now to Reverse the Red Oak Development Approvals!
Area residents filled the council chambers earlier this month to express their alarm about the oversized buildings planned for 600 W. Commonwealth Ave.
Friends for a Livable Fullerton has launched an effort to reverse the decision by the Fullerton City Council to amend the city's General Plan to allow for unwarranted Urban Mixed Use designation at the site of 600 W. Commonwealth. Red Oak Investments of Irvine is attempting to build 295 apartment units on the site, in two structures with combined square footage of over 600,000 square feet. Although neighbors complained that the plan does not include enough resident parking, and is out of character with the area and too large, the Fullerton City Council (with Bruce Whitaker dissenting) approved a radical upzoning of the site, allowing more than twice the density of residents anticipated in the city's General Plan.
FFLF is asking for your help to keep Fullerton a livable city:
"We have a lot to do in a very short time! We are circulating an official petition to overturn the City Council's approval of the Red Oak High-Density Apartments!

Awful Undead Amerige Court Returns with a New Name. Meeting Monday Night!
Right where you park now for free, on public land.
The proposed downtown high density development formerly known as Amerige Court returns with a new name Monday night, December 12, 6:00 p.m. at the Fullerton Public Library's Community Room (353 W. Commonwealth Avenue).
http://www.ci.fullerton.ca.us/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=2226&TargetID=1
Amerige Court was supposed to be a set of six story residential and retail buildings with accompanying parking structures on either side West Amerige Ave. just west of Harbor Blvd.—you know, that place where you park your car for free now. Documents and a timeline from the long, long history of this project, now called Amerige something or other (I can't find it), can be found at this link on the city's own website:
http://www.cityoffullerton.com/gov/departments/dev_serv/development_activity/amerige_court/default.asp
The first date you will find listed is in 2006, when formal plans were made public, but the project actually began as a drawing made on behalf of Fullerton's own Redevelopment Agency years before right around the time the downtown area was being transformed into a bar district. That's right, the city itself came up with the idea of building on its (our) own parking lots downtown, then went looking for a developer to build something there that was originally supposed to provide more parking there for the businesses.
A project by the Pelican-Laing group was approved by the Fullerton City Council in 2008, but the final plan actually represented a net loss in parking. Of course, the architecture was a cartoonish mishmash of trendy faux urbane fake brick and stucco familiar to anyone who looks up while driving around OC these days. It was just one of the objections that led to a petition bearing the signatures of over four hundred residents against the project that was wordlessly set aside without comment before the vote was taken. (One Fullerton resident who spoke out against the plan was none other than Karen Haluza, now Fullerton's Director of Community Development, who argued that it was bad planning to put parking squarely in the middle of the downtown district.)
The good news was that Pelican-Laing couldn't get anything done with the plan. After several years and successive amendments meant to give the developer more and more time to build something, even some of the council members had had enough, but they were outvoted by the later-recalled Don Bankhead, Pat McKinley, and Dick Jones, M.D.
Amerige Court in 2008, a pile of junk no one wanted on land given away to the developer.
Scarcely a month after the 2012 Recall a new public parking structure had been built just south of the site on Santa Fe Ave. to accommodate daytime train commuters across the street, but it began to look like it would also serve handily as extra parking for the now burgeoning bar and restaurant crowd at night. Neat trick, but with over 800 new spaces now available, what was the rationale for Amerige Court, again?
More time passed, and two more extensions were eventually passed by the council to give the developer even more time to get something off the ground, even though no one really seemed to want anything there except for the Chamber of Commerce and its cheerleaders, and the developers who contribute to the campaigns of council members…It wasn't even clear during the last extension hearing whether or not some members of the council understood that the development rights has been sold by this time to the Richman Group, themselves responsible for other utterly forgettable high density residences around town.
Which brings us back to a new beginning for the project that no one wants—a public meeting to find out how much we don't want it, and how high we don't want it to be, and what we don't want it to look like. Be there. There are other massive high density housing/retail projects in the pipeline or already built in Fullerton, but Amerige Court is special because it would be built on public land—your land. And if you don't want that public land given away to a developer to build something huge and ugly, you ought to let them know at every available opportunity.

This 36-semester hour program prepares the student by providing depth in analytics during the first year and focused functional study during the second year that can be applied to any discipline or any interdisciplinary area.  Data analysts are forging new relationships in virtually every discipline: business, healthcare, geology, mathematics and statistics, biology, chemistry, computer science, information systems and technology, engineering, psychology, behavioral science, operations research and more, in addition to potential interactions between these disciplines, using role-based interaction with information and analytics to enable highly- collaborative, data-driven organizations  The graduate of this program enters the workforce prepared for the complex, information-intensive world.
The core Analytics courses are described below. For a complete list of all course descriptions please refer to the Harrisburg University course catalog.
Corequisites: MATH 510 or demonstrated competency in mathematics, statistics, and applied statistics at the discretion of the advisor.
Description: This course covers the core concepts and applications of analytics in different domains.  The student is introduced to the main concepts and tools of analytics (e.g., data querying and reporting, data access and management, data cleaning, statistical programming, data mining introduction, relational databases, and statistical analysis of databases).  The student is also introduced to the emerging topics in data sciences such as Big Data, Smart (Semantic) Data, data modeling, and data visualization.  The student then applies the principles of analytics/data sciences to different domains such as health, education, public safety, public welfare, transportation, and other public and private sectors.  The student is then encouraged to apply the concepts to a domain of interest.
Description: This course reviews the fundamental mathematics required to be successful in the analytics program.  It is designed to strengthen the mathematical abilities while addressing the requirements for coding/scripting.  It presents the mathematical topics as coding/scripting problems.  This is intended to further strengthen the ability to develop the subroutines/codes/scripts that are also necessary in an analytics career.
Description: Exploratory data analysis plays a crucial role in the initial stages of analytics.  It comprises the pre-processing, cleaning, and preliminary examination of data.  This course provides instruction in all aspects of exploratory data analysis.  It reviews a wide variety of tools and techniques for pre-processing and cleaning data, including big data.  It provides the student with practice in evaluating and plotting/graphing data to evaluate the content and integrity of a data set.
Description: This course provides a comprehensive background for the student who wants to engage in advanced analytics projects in the public and private sectors.  The student is exposed to descriptive, predictive as well as prescriptive analytics techniques.  The course begins with a review of the descriptive analytics concepts (i.e., sampling and statistical inferences) ANLY 500 that are used to discover and understand correlations.  It then concentrates on predictive analytics techniques such as regression, forecasting, and simulations that can be used to predict future events based on past data.  The course concludes with the perceptive analytics techniques that attempt to find the "best" solutions by using linear and non-linear optimization techniques and statistical decision models.  The student is strongly encouraged to apply the concepts to domains of interest.
Description: The visualization and communication of data is a core competency of analytics.  This course takes advantage of the rapidly evolving tools and methods used to visualize and communicate data.  Key design principles are used to reinforce skills in visual and graphical representation.
Description: This course provides student with exposure to an expanded range of analytical methods.  This includes additional functions, e.g. the logit function, additional distributions, e.g. Poisson distribution, and additional analysis techniques, e.g. those included in the study of discrete structures such as combinatorics. Particular attention is paid to analytics relevant to disciplines in the social sciences.  Also included are survey design, development and (survey data) analysis.


While the main focus may have been on Volkswagen, Porsche didn't escape the diesel emissions cheating scandal unscathed. And much like VW's fancy new electric efforts, Porsche is trying to follow in the footsteps of its naughty parent company and change the conversation.
According to Reuters, it's doing so with some pretty significant substance: Porsche is going to stop producing diesel cars, and will focus on electrics and hybrids instead.
This official announcement comes on the heels of a precipitous fall in diesel's strategic favor among automakers, and significant announcements from Porsche that have included a commitment to 500 new fast charging stations across the US, as well as long-awaited electric models finally getting the green light for production.
As always, Lloyd is right in saying that electrifying cars won't be enough. We need to rethink our reliance on cars in the first place. But this is still an important step in the right direction.
It's hard to cheat an emissions test if there's no emissions coming out of your tailpipe in the first place.


Once two lakes, this now 170 acre lake is the water supply reservoir for the City of Charlottesville. It contains largemouth bass and bluegill and is open from sunrise to sunset. Access and parking are limited and there is no boat ramp. Boats must be carried to the lake, and gasoline motors are prohibited.
