Q: Infinite Loop in Stable Marriage Algorithm OK so I'm officially at my wits end. I am getting this program to compile and run almost to completion. The last thing that is missing is properly going back (roughly speaking set i back to 0 to re-test all of the single men and try to pair them properly). Here's my algorithm. I am not sure why the end of my while loop doesn't work. Is there a better way to attempt to try and set "i" back to 0, after testing all the men, if the condition of someone being single is met?
Anything would be a great help.
Here is a picture of what should be going on:  Click
//Check availability
    i=0;
    while ( i < ROWS /*(checkStatus(manStatus) && checkStatus(womanStatus))*/ ) {

        //Loop through man #"i"
        //for(i=0; i< ROWS ; i++) {

        if(manStatus[i] == -1) /*if man i is free, then:*/ {

            for(w=0; w<COLS; w++) {

                //Assign him the first woman on his list that is free:
                if (womanStatus[mPref[i][w+1]] == -1) { //if the woman in question is free (i.e -1 value), then :

                    E[i] = mPref[i][w+1]; //Row i, starting from index 1;
                    printf("Man #%d proposes to Woman#%d\n", i, mPref[i][w+1]);
                    printf("Woman #%d is single, and accepts Man #%d\n\n", mPref[i][w+1], i);

                    manStatus[i] = 0;
                    womanStatus[mPref[i][w+1]] = 0;

                        //Set newGuy as w's current engagement, and then set oldGuy to -1
                        printf("Since Woman #%d prefers Man#%d, they get engaged!\n", mPref[i][w+1], newGuy);
                        E[i] = mPref[i][w+1];

The Destabilization Experiment
The Destabilization Experiment, an ideas series produced in partnership between Rest of World and the UCLA Institute for Technology, Law & Policy, explores the multifaceted ways that social media has impacted the political discourse around the world, to answer the question: What impact is social media having on democracies around the world?
Uncomfortable link between the U.S. insurrection & Tahrir Square revolution
Social media has gone from being the savior of democracy to the scourge of democracy. How did it come to this?
Social media has weakened India's democracy
The responsibility and power to hold the government and the private sector accountable for upholding democracy depends on the people.
How governments go after protesters using social media
People across Latin America and the Caribbean are organizing online. That space must be protected.
Brazilians are against Bolsonaro's digital tactics
Political institutions, including the opposition parties, are reaching for any weapons they can find against the president's use of social media and messaging apps.
Why Russia is using Facebook
The government has taken no action, and with elections approaching, Russia stands to directly influence the country's political direction for its own benefit.
Facebook is bad at moderating
The platform must work with communities on the ground to design policies on moderation and be fully transparent about them.
social media laws — or none at all
The Philippines ranks first for social media use. Facebook's failure to curb abuses in the the Philippines shouldn't be met with laws targeting individual users.
"Disinformation laws"
Social media platforms alternate between ignoring disinformation and launching broad crackdowns on user speech.

USA Network: An Oasis in Television's Summer Desert
The end of the television season can feel exhausting. Not only do viewers get overloaded with ratings-jucing drama ranging from surprise pregnancies on Bones to shocking acts of road rage on House, but when it's all over, we're cut off, addicts facing an involuntary withdrawal after a particularly potent hit. In the summer desert, one network's turned itself into a programming oasis, providing relief from the likes of Love Bites—the once-promising NBC show that now just feels like filler—or The World According to Paris, Paris Hilton's desperate attempt at relevance, which debuted to miserable ratings: USA.
USA has become the single most valuable part of NBC Universal and the dominant force in basic cable prime time with a potent combination of professional wrestling, reruns of popular shows, and smart original programming. And it's built huge strength in that last category for two reasons. Using "character" as a core concept provides continuity between quirky characters and their unusual working arrangements—and it sells viewers on the idea that their taste for those characters is a moral act, that rooting for charming con-men and wildly anti-social U.S. Marshals alike is proof of our ability to see and appreciate nuance. But the network's also taken advantage of an odd assumption by its competitors: that summer is a time to burn off bad shows or to flood the market with cheap and stupid reality programming. More than anyone else, USA insists that just because the mercury rises and television viewers' fancies turn towards thoughts of vacation doesn't mean their entertainments have to be aggressively stupid.
There's something odd about the calculation that in a season where movie studios make a lot of money on blockbusters, which even if they aren't striving for artistic brilliance generally try to look good, television audiences want things that look cheap, sound stupid, or have no future. It's weirdly insulting to toss scraps that didn't make the cut for the regular TV season on the air and see if they'll stick if only because they're marginally better than the other leftovers other networks are setting out as prime time fare. And summer reality competition shows like Wipeout often seem constructed on the assumption that audiences look to shows like American Idol or Dancing With the Stars as delivery vehicles for humiliation, not talent. What USA's done with summer is just a larger-scale version of what HBO and Bravo have done with Sunday nights, airing their respective event shows like Game of Thrones and Real Housewives of Atlanta in time slots their competitors have dismissed as non-starters.
It took the network a while to perfect that approach to picking up its competitors' slack. La Femme Nikita, which ran on the network from 1997 to 2001, began its runs during the January hiatus in the network television season and aired through August. Monk, which aired from 2002 to 2009, started its season in June or July every year except its last. But while that show helped USA refine its approach to the television season, Monk was an evolutionary stage in the network's approach to eccentricity. The things that made Monk an excellent detective also came with substantial social and personal costs, an approach USA would largely abandon in later shows.
The network hit its current stride with the introduction of Psych in 2006 and Burn Notice in 2007. The fake prognosticator of Psych and his pharmaceutical rep best friend run around a sun-drenched Santa Barbara saturated in bright blues and greens, solving serious crimes with a patently ridiculous approach. Burn Notice is in even more vacation-worthy Miami, where the dominant color palette is a cool reinterpretation of '80s neon and no matter how big the explosions, the prevailing tone is sarcastic. USA sometimes seems to take pleasure in seeing what it can get away with, what it can make look stylish and desirable, whether it's resurrecting Bruce Campbell's career while preserving the nod and the wink that's always accompanied his acting, or selling audiences on the idea that legal mediation is a sexy process.
But as much as USA's summer shows are light and look good, they're not dumb. Piper Perabo may not make a hugely convincing CIA agent on Covert Affairs, but the show's depictions of how the intelligence agencies treat disabled employees or how they handle leaks of classified information are accurate, and provide substantive drama. Michael Weston's Burn Notice clients and adversaries may be a rogue's gallery of eccentrics, but that they're still capable of doing very bad things. Mary Shannon may run on a diet of sarcasm and spite, but it's the fuel that lets her protect characters who are trying to reconcile witness protection with everything from Jewish religious observance to Asperger syndrome in In Plain Sight. And just because Hank Lawson's patients on Royal Pains are flighty rich people doesn't mean they can't end up very dead. Watching USA's shows lets you appreciate the stakes without getting anxious over them.
The network hasn't set the bar that high. It's got no aspirations to be HBO or Showtime, but that's not the point. All USA's programming proves is that you don't have to be stupid during the summer to be entertaining, and it's reaping rewards for it. In a sweltering season of blind man, the one-eyed network is king.
With shows like "Covert Affairs" and "Burn Notice," the channel offers its best programming in a season when other stations are showing their worst

Amitabh Bachchan declared His Will ,but Whom does it belong?
Amitabh Bachchan is a king in true sense. He is genuinely royal and exemplifies the true definition of a role model. And just like his career graph, his personal life too represents an uplifting scale.
Inspite of all the ups and downs in his life he always managed to come out as a winner. Whenever his name is mentioned somewhere, our expectations increases automatically.
He has always put forward his opinions without any fear. This time too Mr. Bachchan came forward for a good cause and lent his support to promote gender equality among Indian masses.

TC Part of New Games for Learning Consortium | Teachers College Columbia University
TC Part of New Games for Learning Consortium
Filed Under > Research/Publications
On the premise that the way into the head of an Internet-age kid is through his electronic games, Teachers College is part of a new consortium of universities, funded by Microsoft Research, that will study the potential of computer and video games to teach math and science to middle-school children.

On the premise that the way into the head of an Internet-age kid is through his electronic games, Teachers College is participating in a consortium of universities, funded by Microsoft Research (a division of Microsoft Corporation), that will scientifically study the potential of computer and video games to teach math and science concepts to middle-school children.
Charles Kinzer, TC Professor of Education and director of the Communication, Computing and Technology and Education program., will direct the College's participation in the new consortium, known as the Games For Learning Institute (GF4L), which is based at at New York University.
GF4L is a joint venture of Microsoft Research, NYU and several other higher education institutions, including TC, Columbia University, the City University of New York, Dartmouth, Parsons School of Design, Polytechnic Institute of NYU and the Rochester Institute of Technology.
"Our goal is not to develop games, but to study why games are effective and how they can best be used to maximize learning," said Kinzer, who added that the institute will develop "scientifically proven game design principles that maintain the motivational and fun aspects of successful commercial games while providing knowledge about how to make games that can help teachers teach and children learn, specifically in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Microsoft Research is providing $1.5 million to fund the institute, which is the first multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary venture to examine the science behind games. NYU and the consortium are matching Microsoft's grant, for a total of $3 million to cover the first three years of research.
Many TC faculty and students are interested in games and their potential for teaching and learning. The Computer, Communication, Technology in Education (CCTE) program offers several courses related to games, game design and learning, and Kinzer teaches a course, "Possibilities of Virtual Worlds." The CCTE program also houses a games research lab known as EGGPLANT (Educational Games Group: Play, Language, Avatars, Narrative, and Technology), which, through an understanding of play, EGGPLANT seeks to gain knowledge of human cognition, collaboration, media effects, modern culture, creativity, improvisation and other factors within games that have implications for education. Faculty and students involved with the Games Research Lab have broad-ranging interests, and the lab has resources to study of video games, traditional board and card games, role-playing games, games for teaching and learning, "serious" games, media literacy, the psychology of games, and related topics.
Kinzer points to "staggering" statistics showing that adolescents of all backgrounds, both boys and girls, spend large amounts of time playing games. "Games are a part of children's lives. Existing research implies that incidental learning occurs during game play, but there's not much known about how to link the power of games to specific learning of school-based subjects." Creating that kind of knowledge is what this new collaboration is all about.

Last Thursday, I suffered a BIOS flash problem on my primary test machine that resulted in a completely dead motherboard: no post, no action at startup except for lights and fan up, followed by an immediate shutdown. A little research showed that my Asus P5K is one of a very few modern motherboards that can be reduced to inert circuitry by a BIOS flash error. A quick $20 to a chip supplier on ebay got a new chip on its way to me in the mail, but I had to have another machine to mess about upon as soon as possible.
I decided to resuscitate my previously moribund Windows Vista Media Center PC, which includes a Gigabyte X38-DQ6 mobo, a QX98650 quad core CPU, a GeForce 8800 GT, 4 GB DDR2-800 RAM, and about 1 TB of putative disk storage. In short: a state-of-the-art PC in 2007 when it was put together, and a decent system even by today's standards.
Altogether, this process took a long day to complete (though I kept working on other stuff on my production machine all along, so it didn't keep me from taking care of my more usual business).
Over the weekend, I got started on the upgrade process, kicking things off with the still-beta version of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor (I can't find a newer version of this available just yet, so I guess MS doesn't feel itself on the hook to deliver same until the official GA date for Windows 7 rolls around on 10/22/09). When I ran the program via a remote desktop connection it fired off without a hitch, but proceeded to grind away for 25 minutes, before I gave up and tried again at the machine's local controls. This time, it finished in a mere 3:25 before tendering its compatibility analysis.
Based on my earlier failed venture I expected to see some programs in need of removal, and wasn't sure if all the hardware on this system would pass muster. After it identified my JMicron JMB26X RAID controller driver as a potential sticking point, I visited the vendor's FTP site and downloaded then updated the 1.17.32.6 driver to the latest WHQL 1.17.49.4 drivers instead. After that I re-ran the Upgrade Advisor to produce the following screens (which still didn't do away with the JMicron JMB36X warnings, even though my production system is running Windows 7 quite happily with the 1.17.31.0 drivers, and what I have on the test machine is much newer).
Here's a shot of the devices page from the UA, with the warning about the JMB36X controller featured prominently at its head.
It's a real relief when everything — or as in this case, nearly everything — comes up with a clean bill of health, hardware-wise. Given that my other machine includes the same RAID controller and is working famously with Windows 7 on an older version right now, I'm not too concerned anyway.
I'm reading reasonably reliable reports that this motherboard works with all four DIMM slots occupied (my earlier P35 models couldn't handle all four slots filled) so I'm also going to install 64-bit and try 12 (2×4 plus 2×2 GB) and 16 (4×4 GB) RAM in this rig as well. But let's save that for another day.
There's also a minor warning about the version of Visual Studio I have installed on this machine, but I'll cross that bridge when I next turn to those tools on that machine (count on me to report back if anything untoward presents during that process). Frankly, I'm not too worried about it. My only beef with the driver warning from the UA is that it gave me no idea which version I should use instead, and I gave up after trying the three most recent versions on the vendor's FTP page and still not getting it right.
At this point, I'm ready to run the upgrade install. I'll report on my experiences in performing that upgrade in my next blog, the day after tomorrow (August 19).


When the state of the robot reaches the smooth sliding plane, the current algorithm will generate high-frequency chattering, resulting in larger tracking error and longer response time. To solve these problems, we have proposed a trajectory tracking and control algorithm based on exponential reaching rate. The coordinate system of parallel robot system is established, and the kinetic energy and potential energy of the system are calculated. The results are brought into the Lagarnge equation to find the dynamic model of the system. The power amplifier, electro-hydraulic servo valve, hydraulic cylinder and its load are taken as generalized controlled objects, and the hydraulic servo system model is established. The exponential approaching rate is introduced to design the dynamics model and the trajectory tracking sliding controller of the hydraulic servo system model. By adjusting the upper and lower bounds of the external disturbance of the controller, the control rate is changed, the buffeting occurrence is reduced, and the response time is shortened, to realize the low error tracking of any trajectory of the robot. The experimental results show that the trajectory of the robot can be adjusted quickly and the desired trajectory is better tracked by the end.

This Stretched Lexus LS400 Is Yet Another Kind Of Japanese Luxury
Max Finkel
Photo: Ebay
We're all big fans of the Toyota Century around here. Most automakers don't build a flagship that so defiantly bucks the norms of its segment. But what if the Toyota Century was just a little too common for you? What if you needed a Toyota luxury car that was a bonafide one-off and a factory-produced one at that?
The Dodge Nitro Was Just a Worse Jeep Liberty
This 1998 Lexus LS400 Long for sale in Poland is reportedly the only one in existence. According to the ad on eBay, the car once belonged to a Sheik who used it on visits to Europe. While the exact length of the stretch this second-gen car got isn't also mentioned, it looks to me to be about eight or so inches at most of comfort and legroom added to the b-pillar.
Inside, the upgrades aren't all that over the top. The rear bench appears unchanged from stock behind all that legroom. A television set sits between the front seats and the all-important car-phone is mounted on an arm reaching back towards the rear passengers, ready to be pressed into service to close a deal, berate a lackey or reassure some major shareholders.
When you're important enough to be carted around in a car this special, it's not really the creature comforts you need, though. What you're really looking for is privacy. In this Lexus, that wide B-pillar provides some cover from prying eyes outside, and anything it doesn't shield is blocked out by some serious curtains that wouldn't be out of place on one of those nice but rather common (compared to this car, at least) Centuries. The glass might not be tinted, but you wouldn't be wanting for privacy in the back of this LS.
Grow hair
Grow those luscious locks back
This proprietary, prescription-grade topical Finasteride is proven to regrow hair in just a few months.
Buy at Happy Head
But back to that B-Pillar. It's the special trim this extra bit of bodywork gets that has me so enamored with this car. That giant Lexus badge in the middle is the exact opposite of the Toyota Century approach. It's in-your-face branding that is all about flexing on your friends in their more common, more conventional limousines. Century owners don't need to do that. But if you ordered something like this, you'd probably be all about the flex.
Screenshot: Youtube
What's so excited about this car is the fact that it supposedly was built in coordination with the actual LS plant at Tahara, Japan. This is a plant known for its precision and attention to build quality, with incredible scrutiny paid to details like panel fit and finish. Those engineers and technicians wouldn't have stood for some slap-dash stretch job. No, they would have made sure it was done right.
And it better have been done right if the car is worth the monster 39,000 euros the seller is asking for. The car does only have a scant 15,000 kilometers under its belt, and these are cars that are capable of doing nearly a hundred times that distance. But put mileage and durability aside for a second. If you want this car it's because you want its exclusivity. And while I see the appeal, I certainly don't want it for more than ten times what an equivalent standard LS goes for. It seems not many others feel any stronger as this car has apparently been on offer by the same seller for at least two years now. Maybe eventually someone will bite.

I RECENTLY helped edit a trilogy of books written by former Zimbabwean deputy prime minister Arthur Mutambara called In Search of the Elusive Zimbabwean Dream. The first of the three books has just been released.
I had to reacquaint myself with Zimbabwean politics and history. As I was reminded of where Zimbabwe came from, and their proud struggle for liberation which ended in a flawed Lancaster House Agreement, I could not help but feel sad about what is taking place there now.
The last time I visited Zimbabwe was more than 15 years ago but, even then, one could begin to see a society unravelling. The Zim dollar was trading at around 300 to the rand, but soon it was trading at millions to the rand. The Zim dollar was eventually scrapped and Zimbabweans now trade in American dollars.
At the heart of the Zimbabwean crisis is a political party, Zanu-PF, which believes it is anointed to rule forever because of the role it played in its liberation struggle. There are people in Zimbabwe who believes in the slogan: "The bullet is more powerful than the ballot". The argument is that Zanu-PF liberated Zimbabweans by using the bullet, so they cannot be removed by the ballot.
Part of the problem with this argument is that the rivals to Zanu-PF, Zapu, probably played a more prominent role in the liberation struggle and that the two liberation movements were forced into a negotiated settlement which left much to be desired. The theory about using the bullet to achieve liberation does not really hold water.
But Zanu-PF and its president, Robert Mugabe, have consistently found ways to undermine their country's constitution and cling to power. As a result, Mugabe is still the party's preferred candidate for president in next year's elections - he'll be 94 then. Mugabe was prime minister from independence in 1980 until 1987, and has been president ever since. He has effectively been in power for all the 37 years that Zimbabwe has been "free".
There are similarities with South Africa. There are many people who argue the PAC was more prominent in the Liberation Struggle than the ANC, but this is debatable. The liberation movements in South Africa also had to negotiate a settlement with their former oppressors and adversaries. Like Zapu in Zimbabwe, the PAC in South Africa has all but disappeared.
For now, we have hope in South Africa, but I don't know for how long, judging by the actions of some people in the ruling party over the past few weeks and months.
The ANC seems to think its constitution can overrule the country's constitution, an approach that is very dangerous. Several ANC members have been talking about hounding and disciplining the ANC members who voted with the opposition in the secret ballot. The Constitutional Court's ruling meant the MPs should have expected some protection, irrespective of how they voted. But the ANC does not seem to think so.
Also, several ANC MPs and at least one minister refused to co-operate with a parliamentary committee chaired by someone who was believed to have voted against President Jacob Zuma in the secret vote. They were effectively saying that they do not care about Parliament's oversight role as much as they care about following the right factional line in the ANC.
It is against this background that I watched this week's shenanigans around Grace Mugabe, 52, Mugabe's second wife. Mrs Mugabe is believed to have assaulted a young woman with an electrical extension cord after finding her and another woman in a hotel room with her two sons, Robert jr, 24, and Bellarmine Chatunga, 20.
After Police Minister Fikile Mbalula promised that she would face the might of the South African law, Mrs Mugabe apparently "left" the country, only to resurface the next day, claiming diplomatic immunity. My hunch is that nothing will come of the case against Grace Mugabe. She has got away with worse in her country.
Those of us who care about the rule of law and democracy need to continue to put pressure on the government to make sure that Grace Mugabe does not get away with what appeared to be blatant assault. People who commit crimes in South Africa, irrespective of the position they hold, need to know they will be prosecuted and fined or jailed.
We need to start with the many South African politicians and supposed public servants who appear to have enriched themselves through corruption.
In my humble opinion, and I am thinking aloud, our only hope in South Africa is for civil society to hold the ANC and other political parties to account, to make sure that they follow the constitution so that we can achieve our potential as a country.
Power, as they say, corrupts. And nowhere is this truer than in Zimbabwe.

We really enjoy food photography. One of the many reasons for this is the renaissance in fine dining that is energising restaurants through out the West Highlands and especially the isle of Skye. There is an exciting and slightly competitive atmosphere. Chefs are creating some wonderful dishes that are a joy to photograph.
This being the West Highlands kitchens can rely on superb locally sourced seafood. Lobsters, prawns, crayfish, mussels and all sorts of white fish are available on our doorstep and are the basis of many a superb dish.
And then there is the scallop. It seems to me that every kitchen has it's own unique signature scallop dish and each is a work of art. Some are simple, some complicated. All are a culinary delight.
I think that the reason for this is that scallops from Skye waters are the best. Sweet, succulent and undeniably fresh (I can say this with some certainty – I worked in the Scottish seafood industry for 15 years).


People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. As a musician, I have always believed in the power of the art to bring back memories of the past, be them good or bad. Similar to music, a photo is a powerful medium that can bring us back to the past so that we can experience the exact split second that is framed in that photo once again.
Whether it be the memory of the scent of the mountain breeze, the sound of two late-aged men yodelling in a cable car, the taste of fresh milk that you literally milked from the cow on your own, or the texture of the rocks by the beach, a photo stores so many memories. It's amazing how a visual imagery can bring us to an entirely different world in a split second.
Surely you may have noticed that I have not posted anything on this blog for - well - almost 10 months. There has been plenty of ups and downs these past few months and I went completely out of inspiration to write on this blog. For once, I did not find joy in something that usually makes me happy and excited. But now, I'm ready to get back once again and find joy in it.
BUT OF COURSE I didn't forget to regularly post on my Instagram (@adrieltjokro). It is, after all, my mini blog; one that I can update easily on the go as it goes live with my adventure around the world. It's unfortunate that in the past 10 months or so I didn't have plenty of #OneThemeParkAtATime moments to add into my adventure. Regardless, I remain grateful for the adventurous and lovely seconds that I spent again and again.
With that being said, here I present to you the top 10 scenery-based photos from my Instagram; the ones that people - my followers, the strangers, and the discoverers - seem to really love as much as I do. Here are the stories that I want to tell you.
Not in the top 10, but might as well put it since it was a close call. The day was chilly but not too cold; warm but not too hot; breezy but not too windy. It was a perfect day. The crowd was relatively manageable compared to that of a Disney park. I was towards the end of my first-ever backpacking trip when I finally visited the theme park that I had always wanted to go to: Europa-Park. After an intensive morning going back and forth between one roller coaster/thrill ride and another, I finally had the chance to slow down and enjoy my surroundings. As I looked back, I saw this: the magnificent boat of Atlantica SuperSplash about to merge its riders in deep water as the first hill of Wodan Timburcoaster soars in the background. I thought the shades of blue, green, and brown really captured my eyes. That day, I added 13 roller coasters into my coaster count. Everything was well. I was really happy.
Rainbows never cease to amaze me: the shades of colours in the sky make even my gloomiest, darkest mood light up with glimmers of hope and sparks of joy. This picture was taken after a long, stormy day; a day with one of the largest, scariest thunderstorms I had ever gone through in Singapore. It was a day when literally no one went out because not even the mightiest umbrellas and raincoats can keep you dry (and of course because the UBER fee just skyrocketed up by 5-fold). As the rain slowed down and the sun started shining again, the rainbow appeared. Together with the skyline of the Central Business District (CBD) of Singapore in the background, I thought it was such a fitting scenery to capture and remember.
When the news came that the world-renowned Yayoi Kusama is having her travelling exhibition stopping by Singapore's own National Gallery, Singaporeans went gaga! At the time, though, I was still one month into my new job in Singapore and unfortunately it required plenty of weekend work, rendering it impossible for me to actually go attend the exhibition. One amazing weekend in October, though, just a couple of days before the exhibition was closed off, a friend messaged me, "Hey, we're going to Yayoi Kusama's exhibition today. Do you wanna come?" and the rest was history. This particular section especially enchanted me because of the infinite starry, dreamy feel that I got from it. The only downside is that we were given only 20 seconds to enjoy this piece of art, so instead of enjoying it, we were trying to get as many photos as we can.
On my recent trip to France, I stopped by Nice at the most unfortunate weekend. Weather forecast suggested it was going to be cloudy and rainy from Friday to Sunday. I was pretty bummed because people have been saying of how nice Nice is (of course, Nice is nice) when the sun is glimmering on the seemingly crystal-clear beach. February 17th was a Saturday and - true to the weather forecast - is started to rain like crazy throughout the city. Not knowing what to do in the rain, I decided to book the only seat left in the Nice Carnival that night. The carnival ended up being a highlight of my trip: a celebration of freaks, foolishness, and plain - sometimes borderline stupid - fun. The crowd was wild, the performers were energetic, and the floats were wonderful and colourful. Then this one float passed by and everyone's eyes gazed upon this bombastic representation of our "great" leaders of the world. I'll leave it up to you guys to know who these guys are.
It was January 2017. I was entering my second month working on my Master's thesis for Fudan University at Shanghai Disneyland. Following a relatively quiet 6-month grand opening period, the theme park started to receive massive influx of guests as the humongous Chinese New Year holiday approached. January 14th, 2017 was a particularly windy and busy day for the park with some rides gaining wait times north of 180 minutes. At noon exactly, just like every other day, there was this parade that goes throughout the park's main pathway. Cast members sprawled everywhere to keep the path clear of crowd, adults were excited to have their favourite characters passing by, and children were crying for no odd reasons. At one point, as I was heading for lunch outside the park, I looked back and saw this one Cast Member struggling to contain the many balloons he was holding from flying away. I quickly snatched my phone and snapped this photo. The outcome was magical.
Adapting to your first job is crazy and turned out I was no exception. My first job in Singapore was crazy and I dedicated much of my time into my work 7 days a week - and at times 24 hours a day. Constantly being attached to your phones can indeed make you crazy and robotic. When a friend of mine from the Master's program that I did visited Singapore, I left work for the entire weekend and brought him - along with another Singapore-based buddy - around Singapore. We visited and revisited many places that I had always wanted to go to. One of those places is the Cloud Forest greenhouse at the Gardens by the Bay, which we visited right before sunset. As we entered the controlled-climate space, the sun was setting and the sunlight was without doubt magical. We were walking our way to the top of the dome when this caught my eyes: my friend looking directly into the ray of light. To me, it was like an image of hope and enchantment.
Amongst the many trips that I took while I was studying and writing my thesis in Shanghai, China, I did so with my friends that I studied with. One of those trips was a hiking trip that we did for an entire weekend in Huangshan, which is famous for its picturesque natural landscapes and mystical vibe. To our dismay, after more than 6 hours of train ride, we arrived to massive downpour and chilly climate at the top of the mountain. We were worried that the trip would end up being a massive disappointment, but we slept our thoughts off anyways. The next day, undeterred by the unfavourable weather forecast, we started our ascent through the sprawling treks of the mountain. We kept going up, and up, and up... and all of a sudden the mist gave way, the sun came out, and the mountain revealed itself. There, behind and beneath the fog, was the sight that we came all the way from Shanghai for. I was lucky to capture this shot as seconds later the fog came back again and the mountain was covered once again, never to be seen for the next couple of hours.
When I flew to Los Angeles in April 2017, it was the first time I visited the city in more than 10 years. Between that and my most recent visit, I had always heard of how difficult it is to explore and navigate around the city without cars. Yet, I purchased my Metro Pass and started going around with the metro and the buses. Before I knew it, I was in Downtown L.A., one hell of an area that I was surprised that not many people really talk of. True, L.A. might have better things to offer, from the pleasant Santa Monica to that really fun theme parks in the Anaheim area, just one hour south of L.A.. But I found Downtown L.A. - despite being less lively compared to other downtowns I had gone to - enchanting and unique in its own way. As I look up at Pershing Square, I saw Deloitte, which reminded me of a friend at London Business School who used to work there. I snatched this picture and sent it to him and said, "Look, I'm in L.A. and I'm visiting your company!" Actually not really.
There is something about river that calms and soothes me. Perhaps it's the gentle ripple of the river flow, the calming scent of the soil and the water, or I'm just weird that way. Bern, Switzerland was the last stop of my first-ever backpacking trip around Europe, which ended up lasting for 31 days. Certainly being in Bern at the end of my trip was not easy: I had limited amount of money left and unfortunately Bern is definitely not a cheap city, so I was trying to save as much money as I could without spoiling my experience. Unlike other cities that I visited in the trip, Bern is different. The city, in itself, is an attraction on its own. It never stopped to make my jaw drop with its vibe and beautiful buildings and antiques. All I knew that day was that I walked, I walked, and all of a sudden I was at the top of a hill overlooking the city and the river that surrounds it. After a fast-paced, city-hopping, non-stop backpacking, I came to realise that it was finally coming to an end. In the distance, the bells rang. It was 5:15pm. On April 16th, 2016 at exactly 5:15pm, after almost a month of hustling and buzzing, I finally got the chance to sit still, calm down, and witness the magical moment that was just around the river bend.
This is my second photo of Gardens by the Bay that is really well-loved and it deserves so. While Gardens by the Bay is only a few bus stops away from where I lived and worked, I never had the chance to experience its true magic until that one evening. I was waiting for the 7:30pm Garden Rhapsody light show to start and - behold - this sight came at the most convenient time possible. Afterwards, I sat back, relaxed, and laid down on the pavement as I continued to be in awe of the sight of Marina Bay Sands in the twilight.
If you feel that this view is eerily familiar, say no more. That year, the movie La La Land was all the hype with its accolades and magical representation of Los Angeles. At one part, the movie takes the audience to the Griffith Observatory just right after sunset, and one of the shot gives this beautiful shot of Los Angeles from the site. So while I was in town, I climbed up the hill to search for that exact spot... and I found it. There, just right before sunset, the sky showed its hues of blues, purples, and pink, with the massive city sprawling down underneath and the skyscrapers looming in the background. I came at the right moment, I shot it, and I smiled. Then I saturated the hell out of everything and - voilà! - I got the crazy colours.
Great to see a post from you after such a long time, Adriel :) Wonderful stories!

Q: Stop Magento sending auto invoice after completed payment The thing is, I want to send them manually via the API because in my country a invoice is a legal-bound order.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks for your help!

A: Go to System->Configuration->Sales Emails and disable "Invoice".

A: I don't think the accepted answer is the best possible way to handle the problem. If you disable the automatic transactional emails completely from the backend, you also can't trigger them manually or use them in your custom module anymore. That means you have to create every transactional email you disabled from scratch if you need to send it at another point as magento standart, which also is a considerable maintenance effort in the aftermath.
The solution I came up with is to programmatically disable sending the email on invoice creation and leverage the default sender classes in a custom observer event. In our case we wanted to send the invoice email when shipment is created.
You do that by overriding \Magento\Sales\Model\InvoiceOrder. Locate the line
$this->notifierInterface->notify($order, $invoice, $comment);

And remove it.
If you want to trigger the email, you can still do that from anywhere you want using the standard "send" function from the InvoiceSender. In our case, we trigger the email from observer like this:
<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
use Magento\Sales\Model\Order;
use Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Email\Sender\InvoiceSender;

class SendInvoiceWithShipment implements ObserverInterface
{
    protected $_invoiceSender;

    public function __construct(
        InvoiceSender $invoiceSender
    ) {
        $this->_invoiceSender = $invoiceSender;
    }

    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
    {
        $order = $observer->getShipment()->getOrder();
        $invoices = $order->getInvoiceCollection();
        foreach ($invoices as $invoice) {
             // this is where the magic happens
             $this->_invoiceSender->send($invoice);
        }

    }
}

Observer is triggered by event sales_order_shipment_save_after
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name='sales_order_shipment_save_after'>
        <observer name='SendInvoiceWithShipment' instance='Vendor\Module\Observer\SendInvoiceWithShipment'
        />
    </event>
</config>

You can do this for every transactional email.

Data shows that the first half of June is the cheapest time to book travel for the summer – in particular June 6th, and that late August is the cheapest time to fly (in particular August 22nd.) It's also said that Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be cheaper days to fly. However, given there are so many variables like your destination, dates or where your'e flying out of, these generalizations cannot apply to everyone.
I would recommend utilizing some tools to help you. Hopper for example will track your ideal flights and notify you of when they go up and down in price and when the best time to book them is. It's also a useful tool for being able to explore different destinations and see when and where is affordable to go to. In fact it will even make personalized recommendations if there are cheaper dates or better destinations that you should consider.
When it comes to booking summer travel, especially if your looking to take a bigger trip abroad, I would consider an experience that takes care of everything under one roof, like a cruise. AmaWaterways, for example, runs a number of mesmerizing European cruises over the summer months such as the Taste of Bordeaux. This 7 night cruise takes you from one of the world's finest wine capitals along the scenic Garonne River, stopping at chateaus and vineyards along the way, whilst providing onboard 5* cuisine and luxury amenities and daily entertainment.
Road trips pretty popular for families in the summer, especially as it can often be cheaper than flying. A great new hack for road trippers is the follow app. If you have multiple cars on a journey, it helps everyone stay together. One car gets setup as the leader, and the other the follower, and if the leader pulls off the road for any reason (such as to get gas, food or make a pit-stop) the other cars are directed to where he is going. The follow app is app a great tool if you are planning an extended family getaway, and especially if you have younger kids who may need to stop several times along the journey!


Issue One Printed in November?
Got another page up. Trying some new layout and drawing stuff. Working on the next few pages as I watch Stranger Things 2. Was hopeful to have a hard copy of issue one printed up by Halloween, but the last week or two of work was crazy. I'm still better at drinking beer than canning or bottling or kegging it. Still planning to get the issue printed soon, we'll see.
Also have done Drawlloween/Inktober this month. That's been fun.

("Minerva" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NERV) from May 15, 2017 through November 30, 2020 (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

New York, New York — Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. ("Minerva" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NERV) from May 15, 2017 through November 30, 2020 (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the truth about the feedback received from the FDA concerning the "end-of-Phase 2" meeting; (ii) the Phase 2b study did not use the commercial formulation of roluperidone and was conducted solely outside of the United States; (iii) the failure of the Phase 3 study to meet its primary and key secondary endpoints rendered that study incapable of supporting substantial evidence of effectiveness; (iv) the Company's plan to use the combination of the Phase 2b and Phase 3 studies would be "highly unlikely" to support the submission of an NDA; (v) reliance on these two trials in the submission of an NDA would lead to "substantial review issues" because the trials were inadequate and not well-controlled; and (vi) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times
On December 1, 2020, Minerva issued a press release in which the Company announced the outcome of tis Type C Meeting with the FDA concerning roluperidone. In the announcement, Minerva stated that it had "received official meeting minutes from the November 10, 2020 Type C meeting with the" FDA. In this release, Minerva disclosed for the first time that the ""FDA advised that the Phase 2b study is problematic because it did not use the commercial formulation of roluperidone and was conducted solely outside of the United States. In addition, FDA commented that the Phase 3 study does not appear to be capable of supporting substantial evidence of effectiveness . . . ." Indeed, the "FDA cautioned that an NDA submission based on the current data from the Phase 2b and Phase 3 studies would be highly unlikely to be filed and that at a minimum, there would be substantial review issues due to the lack of two adequate and well-controlled trials to support efficacy claims for this indication."
On this news, Minerva's stock price fell from its November 30, 2020 closing price of $3.89 per share to a December 1, 2020 closing price of $2.89 per share.

Organ Donation: A Fatwa and Explanatory Notes in Light of the Islamic Shariah
24th January 2020 Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid Fatwa, Fiqh, Health, Medicine 2
A question to the noble scholar, Shaikh Zayd bin Hādi Al-Madkhalī (may Allah's mercy be upon him):
Is it permissible to donate the organs of one's body to another person?
Answer: The donation of one's organs is permissible so long as certain conditions are met:
1. There should be no harm to the life [and wellbeing] of the one who is donating. The donor's life should not be adversely affected.
2. That the donor is pleased and content to donate his organ or that his next of kin are pleased and content to do so, if it is immediately after the death of an individual. And the next of kin are his (or her) close relatives such as the father or the son or the brother and so on.
So if these two conditions are met, then it is permissible to donate one's organs or limbs to his brother.
(Source: Salafi Centre of Manchester. Click YouTube link)
From this Fatwa and with the principles of the Shariah, we should understand the following points:
The implementation of the principle of not harming and reciprocating harm in accordance with the hadīth:
لاَ ضَرَرَ وَلاَ ضِرَارَ
"There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm." (Ibn Mājah, 2341, declared sahīh by Al-Albāni)
Permission must be sought from the donor if he is alive, or that he leaves his permission before he dies, or that the next of kin give their consent after his death. There is to be no compulsion and over-riding factor must be the consent of the donor― if he/she refuses consent, then that is given precedence.
A person should not give his organs to those who harm the people (and harm Islam and the Muslims in particular); those who cause corruption in the earth such as dangerous criminals, murderers, highway robbers, rapists and so on (unless they have repented).
If one is alive and he donates something from his body to another person, then it should not cause damage to his body leaving his life in a vulnerable state (other than the normal discomfort of surgery).
Whilst the organs are being removed after death, the body should be treated with honour and dignity, the 'awrah (private areas) should be covered whenever possible.
There should be no money given or taken.
The donation of an organ or limb is considered an act of charity (sadaqah) and more so if it is for a relative.
In the case of a woman, the organs should be removed by a female surgeon and in the case of a man, by a male surgeon.
The deceased person does not feel any physical pain as the organs are being removed― there is no proof that the dead feel the hands or medical instruments of living people upon their bodies. Whatever is done to the deceased of pleasure or pain is from the Angels appointed by Allah.
The removal of the organs of a deceased person must be done immediately after death so as not to delay the funeral and burial (once the next of kin have consented or if the deceased permitted it before his death). Delay in burial is not permissible.
As a general rule, a Muslim should opt-out of organ donation because there are too many concerns surrounding it, especially in non-Muslim societies (as you can see). You can record your decision not to become an organ donor (in the UK) on the NHS Organ Donor Register. This can be done quickly and easily online.
A different perspective: The Mufti of the era, Al-Imām Ibn Bāz (may Allah's mercy be upon him) cited the hadīth: "Breaking the bone of the dead person is like breaking his bone while he was alive in terms of sinfulness." (Ibn Mājah, 1617, sahīh) Then he stated (abridged): The scholars have differed concerning this matter [of removing organs]. Some have allowed it saying, "The benefit of the living person takes precedence over the benefit of the deceased― and the people are in need of the organs of the deceased due to the prevalence of kidney disease and other illnesses." However, what is apparent to me is that it is not permitted because it comes under the meaning of the text of "breaking the bone of the dead person"― it would involve abuse of the dead body. So someone will take his kidneys, and another will take his heart, then someone will take another organ, and he ends up having no value. His inheritors have a right to his wealth but not to his body― they do not inherit his body. As for opening up his body and selling its parts to people, then this opposes what Allah has legislated in terms of respect for the deceased and his body parts. So what is obligatory is to wash the deceased, shroud him, perfume him and bury him in that state in his grave. (Source: Ibn Bāz Website)

donation of organ
nhs organ donation
Basir Kunduzi says:
Salaam alaykum. Jazaakum Allahu Khairan for this article and your efforts in general. Everything was clear from the first fatwa and then the second fatwa by Shaykh Bin Baz seems to go for a different opinion or have I not understood it clearly? Is there a difference of opinion? If someone is interested in becoming a Transplant surgeon would this be permissible (if all the above criteria are met)? Baarak Allahu feekum. Would appreciate clarification on the above questions. May Allah grant you eternal success.
Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid says:
Wa 'alaykumus salām wa rahmatullāh,
Bārakallāhu feekum.
There is a difference of opinion in the matter, no doubt. Shaikh Ibn Bāz stated, "The scholars have differed concerning this matter [of removing organs]." And I included his statement to offer the reason why a person should be, at the very least, cautious. The decision is not an easy one and one should really consider before offering up their organs after death, especially in Europe and the West.
Even if one is convinced by the fatwa of Shaikh Zayd bin Hādi, then I still believe that the Shariah regulations cannot be met in Western countries because they do not value faith requirements as Muslims countries do. So, perhaps the organs of a woman may be removed by a man because (in their minds) it doesn't matter because the person is dead; or they may harvest the body of organs for research purposes (and organs should not be donated for that); or they may give the organs to a person who is a convicted dangerous criminal or hates Muslims and works for the downfall of Muslim values (because they don't "discriminate"); or the 'awrah (areas that are to be concealed) of a man or woman are left bare for no understandable reason, etc.
These types of concerns are less troubling in a Muslim country because there are certain built-in ethical practices in Muslim societies that are not found in secular societies.
This is why I added point 11 above because secular societies tend to trivialise religious ethics and values. So until they offer clear choices and assurances to the Muslim donor, it is safer for a Muslim to opt-out.
And some people may be convinced by the Fatwa of Shaikh Ibn Bāz, which is also a valid position since he has clarified his reasoning with proofs and therefore a Muslim opts-out regardless.

John soon learns that the cave he came into contact with on his last expedition was indeed the cave that contains the relic and also a portal to Hell and a place of worship for the Occult. John discovers that the only way to stop the increasingly realistic visions is to go back to the cave with his family, find the relic once and for all, and destroy it.
