Jessica Simpson Biography
Jessica Ann Simpson (born July 10, 1980) is an American recording artist, actress, television personality, and fashion designer whose rise to fame began in 1999. Since that time, Simpson has achieved many recording milestones, starred in several television shows, movies, and commercials, launched a line of hair and beauty products, and designed fragrances, shoes, and handbags for women. Jessica Simpson has devoted time to philanthropic efforts including Operation Smile and a USO-hosted tour for troops stationed overseas. She started the Jessica Simpson Collection in 2005.
Jessica Simpson has achieved seven Billboard Top 40 hits, three gold and two multi-platinum Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified studio albums, four of which have reached the top 10 on the US Billboard 200. Jessica Simpson starred with her then-husband Nick Lachey in the MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. She ventured into the country music market in 2008 and released Do You Know.
Jessica Ann Simpson was born in Abilene, Texas. She is the daughter of Tina Ann (née Drew), a homemaker, and Joseph "Joe" Truett Simpson, a minister and psychologist. Her mother is of English American and Native American descent, while her father is Scottish American. She has a younger sister, Ashlee, who is also a singer.
Jessica Simpson first developed and nurtured her talent in her local Baptist church, where her father also worked as the congregation's youth minister. At age twelve, she unsuccessfully auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club. While attending a church camp, at the age of 13, Jessica Simpson sang Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You and an arrangement of Amazing Grace.
One of the camp's visitors was launching a Gospel music record label and saw great promise and profits in her voice. It was during this time, while attending J. J. Pearce High School, Jessica Simpson signed to Proclaim Records, a minor Gospel music record label. She recorded an album, Jessica, but Proclaim went bankrupt and the album was never officially released except for a small pressing funded by her grandmother. This small pressing gained her minor attention which led her to performing at concerts with other gospel legendary acts such as Kirk Franklin, God's Property, and CeCe Winans.
When she was sixteen years old, Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola heard Jessica, he was impressed with Simpson's musical talent and skill. Mottola instantly thought Jessica Simpson sounded like Mariah Carey. Jessica Simpson was immediately signed to the label. She dropped out of high school but later earned her GED.
1999–2001: Sweet Kisses and Irresistible
Jessica Simpson released her first single, "I Wanna Love You Forever", which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1999, and reached the top ten in ten countries. Soon afterwards, her major label debut album Sweet Kisses was released. Although, she was classified in the teen pop sensation genre, unlike other female teen stars competitors like Britney Spears and Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson truly had a very powerful luscious voice beyond her years. To support the album's release, Simpson toured with Ricky Martin, Destiny's Child, and with boy band 98 Degrees.
Meanwhile, Simpson's album Sweet Kisses had gone double platinum, helped by the follow-up singles "Where You Are" and "I Think I'm In Love With You", which were both released in 2000. The latter became Simpson's biggest radio hit at that point, and was her first release of an uptempo single. Her debut album sold 2 million copies in US. Columbia Records officials reportedly decided Simpson needed a change for her second album. The following year, when Jessica Simpson came to record her second album, executives pressured her to have a much more sexy image.
In 2000, Jessica Simpson started recording the follow-up to Sweet Kisses, with what Columbia considered more radio-friendly, up-tempo tracks. The sophomore album, titled Irresistible, was released in mid-2001 on the heels of the title-track first single. "The title track" became one of the biggest hits of her career; it peaked at number fifteen on the Hot 100 and stayed in the chart for twenty weeks. It managed to reach the top forty in some other countries it charted. In addition, it led to the attention of record producer Jermaine Dupri of So So Def Recordings to remix the song within a Hip-Hop—tinged genre style which featured rap artist Lil Bow Wow.
Irresistible debuted at number 6 in June 2001 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 127,000 copies sold in its first week. It was later certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling or shipments of 500,000 copies or more. Irresistible has sold 850,000 copies in the US, to date. In order to support the album, Jessica Simpson went on her first headlining tour, called the DreamChaser Tour, in mid-August, but due to the September 11, 2001 attacks could not complete the planned dates.

How Rich Is The Prince's Bride?
Published by Kaushik RC - On 9:07 AM // This post haved 0 comments // Celebrity- Kate Middleton
The prince to marry the pauper? Well, not quite. Although a commoner, Kate Middleton's finances – or at least those of her family – are what many a middle-class Brit would aspire to.
Her parents Carole and Michael have built up a comfortable cash pile from a successful online party business, Party Pieces – established in 1987.
It is a mail order business that aims to help parents create 'magical' parties for their children at home. Party Pieces is run from a call centre, with eight staff, out of a barn near Reading in Berkshire. It also has a website which attracts around 150,000 potential customers a month. [Read more: partypieces.co.uk]
Although profit and loss accounts are not published because it is a partnership rather than a limited company, the income has contributed to a lifestyle that includes a £1m house in leafy Berkshire and putting their three children, Kate, Pippa and James, through some of the most expensive private schools, which for Kate alone would have cost an estimated £250,000.
They also bought her a flat in Chelsea now worth between £1m. [Update 25/11: There is no mortgage on the flat, according to Land Registry records.
At the age of 28, the future Queen of England, has rather a thin CV for a bright A grade Marlborough educated pupil who earned a 2:1 in History of Art from St Andrew's University.
Kate Middleton's parents: Mike and Carole Middleton
Until recently she was working for the family firm after a brief post-graduate foray into the outside world working for retailer Jigsaw.
Now that her family is to be the Royal variety, she need never worry about money again – if indeed she ever did. As consort to Prince William she will surely be looked after in the manner she has been hoping to become accustomed to since she first met her Prince at St Andrew's. The new level of wealth is seen from the start with the ring she's wearing – Diana's engagement ring – worth a cool £85,700.
Since the age of 25, Prince William (now 28) has enjoyed a lavish income from the £6.5m capital left to him by his mother Princess Diana, plus money from the estate of his great-grandmother the Queen Mother who died in 2002.
He also earns a decent salary as an officer in the RAF – a flight lieutenant earns £37,170 a year – and is given an allowance from his father from his own income from the Duchy of Cornwall estate. And should his father pre-decease him, his income will go stratospheric when the whole of that income is transferred to him.
Top 5 Best And Greatest Hollywood Comebacks
Published by Kaushik RC - On 12:56 PM // This post haved 0 comments // Celebrity Gossips- Hollywood Celebrity
Many actors live their lives by just playing simple, smooth and easy character who are not really recognized but accepted. But some of them get a role that really puts them on the map. Take a look at the greatest comebacks in the history of cinema.
She was 5 when she starred in ET. By the time she was 10, she was drinking and smoking etc. She was not in any movie worth mentioning till she played one of the angels.
After NEVER performing well on the big screen, Mickey Rourke suddenly out of no where got this role of being the Wrestler. Which he played rather well and won a bazillion awards for it as well.
Very popular is the Superman series that ran in the mid 90s. Some people say that she was the only good looking Loi Lane in all the Superman series. After that ended she kind of disappeared, playing a couple of small roles and that's it. She had a HUGE come back on Desperate Housewives and many of us are glad she came back
He was always known as an OK actor but then he got to the wrong side of the law and basically got a very bad image of himself. His returning movie was one of the biggest of all time and he has been a killing machine (not literally :)) ever since.
Once Doogie Howser ended, Niel stopped being on TV. He played a small role in Harold and Kumar, which was rather weird. A few years back, he got offered a role in a sitcom and THEN, he gave birth to a character SO AWESOME, that it was LEGEN...wait for it...........................................................DARY. The character BARNEY STINSON, really brought him back from the dead and now, he is living to the fullest and just being AWESOME.

Analysis: UK electricity generation in 2018 falls to lowest level since 1994

UK emissionsAnalysis: UK electricity generation in 2018 falls to lowest level since 1994
The amount of electricity generated in the UK last year fell to its lowest level in a quarter century, Carbon Brief analysis shows.
At the same time, output from renewable sources rose to another record high, generating an estimated 33% of the UK total in 2018. In combination with nuclear, low-carbon sources contributed 53% of UK generation in 2018, with the share from fossil fuels at its lowest ever.
Lower per-capita electricity generation and cleaner supplies have contributed roughly equal shares to the reduction in power sector CO2 emissions since demand peaked in 2005. This has helped to cut UK greenhouse gas emissions overall, even as the economy grows and population rises.
The reduction in the UK's per-capita electricity generation has saved 103 terawatt hours (TWh) since 2005, slightly more than the 95TWh increase in renewable output over the same period. If this electricity had instead been generated from gas, CO2 emissions for the entire UK economy would have been around 80 million tonnes (MtCO2, 20% )higher than the 368MtCO2 total seen in 2017. If it had come from coal emissions would have been some 180MtCO2 (50%) higher.
Carbon Brief's analysis of UK electricity generation in 2018 is based on figures from BM Reports, Sheffield Solar and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). See the notes at the end for more on how the analysis was conducted.
Last year, Carbon Brief analysis showed that, for the first time, more than half of UK electricity generation was low-carbon in 2017.
Falling generation
Some 335TWh of electricity was generated in the UK in 2018, Carbon Brief analysis shows.
The last time UK generation was this low was in 1994, when Nelson Mandela became South African president and the apartheid era officially ended. That year also saw Tony Blair become leader of the opposition UK Labour Party, US president Bill Clinton deliver his first State of the Union address and Finland and Sweden voting to join the European Union.
The history of UK electricity generation since 1920 is charted in the graph below (blue line). Generation rose throughout the 20th century, barring the 1974 three-day week and the recession and miners' strikes of the early 1980s. It then levelled off in the early 2000s and has been declining since 2005, including before, during and after the 2008 financial crisis.
UK electricity generation 1920-2018, terawatt hours (TWh) per year (blue line) and what would have happened if per-capita generation had remained at 2005 levels (dashed yellow line). Sources: BEIS, BM Reports, Sheffield Solar and Carbon Brief analysis. Chart by Carbon Brief using Highcharts.
Generation in 2018 was some 63TWh (16%) lower than in 2005, a reduction equivalent to 2.5 times the output of the new nuclear plant being built at Hinkley Point in Somerset. This is despite the UK population increasing by 10% from 60 million to 66 million people.
If per-capita electricity generation had remained at 2005 levels then the UK total in 2018 would have reached 439TWh (dashed yellow line in the chart, above). This means the UK has saved 103TWh relative to constant per-capita generation, equivalent to four times the output of Hinkley C.
Overall, the amount of electricity generated per person in the UK has fallen by 24% since 2005, down to its lowest level since 1984 (34 years).
Growing economy
The UK trend since 2005 breaks with the economic orthodoxy that a growing economy must be fuelled by rising electricity use. Instead, the economy has continued to grow even as electricity generation has levelled off and then started to decline, as the chart below shows.
The yellow line shows changes in UK real GDP (economic output adjusted for inflation) relative to its level in 1980, since when the economy has expanded more than two-fold. Generation – shown in blue and also relative to 1980 – had grown some 40% by 2005, but is now up less than 20%.
Changes in UK real GDP (yellow) and electricity generation (blue) relative to their levels in 1980, which is set equal to 100. Sources: World Bank, BEIS, BM Reports, Sheffield Solar and Carbon Brief analysis. Chart by Carbon Brief using Highcharts.
The reasons for this decoupling are not fully understood. There are several known contributory factors to the decline in UK electricity generation and demand since 2005. They include product energy efficiency regulations, energy-efficient lighting, environmentally conscious consumers and economic restructuring, including offshoring of energy-intensive industries.
For example, low-energy lightbulbs can cut electricity use by up to 90% while newer "white goods" such as fridges, freezers and washing machines can use up to 75% less electricity each year than the oldest models. There is significant untapped potential to continue cutting electricity use by replacing old appliances at the end of their lives with the latest models, according to the Committee on Climate Change (CCC).
There will also have been some impact from rising electricity prices since 2003 in the face of rapidly increasing wholesale gas prices, economic hardship following the 2008 financial crisis and price increases due to the growing costs of government climate and social policies. [In contrast to rising electricity and gas prices, average UK energy bills have fallen overall since 2008.]
A similar, if less extreme version of the UK decoupling of GDP and electricity use has been taking place in many other developed countries as their economies shift away from energy-intensive industries towards services and high-value manufacturing. This includes the US, where electricity demand has been flat for a decade after more than half a century of uninterrupted growth.
Manufacturing accounted for 17% of the UK economy in 1990, but this fell to 11% by 2005, with services picking up the slack. Manufacturing has held steady at 10% of the UK economy in 2017. Moreover, UK manufacturing output has been growing steadily since the financial crisis.
This shift towards a service-led economy initially saw growing imports of goods and their associated CO2 emissions. However, the outsourcing of UK emissions stopped growing around 2007.
Fossil fuel decline
The sources of UK electricity have shifted dramatically towards cleaner sources as generation has declined, with low-carbon supplies making up a record 53% of the total in 2018.
This was mostly down to strong growth for wind, up 16% to 58TWh in 2018, as the chart below shows (green line and area). This is nearly 3.5 times as much as the 17TWh from coal (black).
Annual electricity generation in the UK by source (terawatt hours). Source: BEIS, BM Reports, Sheffield Solar and Carbon Brief analysis. Chart by Carbon Brief using Highcharts.
The capacity of offshore windfarms nearly doubled over the course of 2018, with more set to open this year. Solar generation increased by 11%, reaching 13TWh in 2018 (yellow in the chart, above).
Biomass generation also increased by 13% in 2018 to 36TWh. This was due to the former coal plant at Lynemouth in Northumberland reopening to run on imported wood pellets and Drax in Yorkshire converting a fourth unit to burn the fuel.
The CCC recently recommended that the UK should "move away" from large-scale biomass burning over time. Subsidies for biomass burning at Drax, Lynemouth and other sites will come to an end in 2027.
Meanwhile, the combined share of UK electricity generation from fossil fuels fell to 46% in 2018, its lowest level ever, as the chart below shows (grey line). This was primarily due to another 25% fall in coal, scotching fears it could make a comeback this year after precipitous recent declines.

Coal plants continued to close in 2018 and remaining stations ran fewer hours, despite the fuel having been expected to be favoured by high gas prices this winter. The UK has pledged to phase out all its coal plants by 2025 at the latest.
Gas generation was down 4% in 2018 to 132TWh (blue line). It remains the single-largest source of generation in the UK, accounting for 39% of the total last year. Gas is expected to be overtaken by renewables in the early 2020s and must contribute no more than 25% of the total by 2030 if the UK is to meet its legally binding climate goals.
Nuclear generation fell 7% in 2018 to 65TWh after cracks were discovered at two of Hunterston's reactors, keeping the site closed for an extended period. Nuclear is the single-largest source of low-carbon electricity in the UK, but is in decline as ageing reactors are being retired. Barring life extensions, all but one of the UK's current nuclear plants will have closed by 2025.
Climate contributions
In total, UK renewable generation has increased by 95TWh since 2005 while savings in per-capita generation over the same period avoided 103TWh of extra electricity being needed.
These contributions have each helped avoid around 40Mt of annual UK CO2 emissions, compared to generating equivalent amounts of power using gas. Without this dual contribution, UK CO2 emissions would have been some 20% higher than the 368MtCO2 seen in 2017. If the power had come from coal, emissions would have been nearly 50% higher (+180MtCO2).
Lowering electricity use is not an end in itself, given the useful services it provides. But energy efficiency and renewable energy are both key elements of most pathways to meeting UK and global climate goals.
Forthcoming Carbon Brief analysis, due to be published later this month, will show that reduced electricity use and the rise of renewables have been the two largest contributors to cutting CO2 emissions from the power sector in the UK since 1990. Coal-to-gas switching is the third-largest factor.
While continued reductions in UK electricity demand are likely in the short term, the CCC and others expect UK electricity demand to increase in the medium term, if climate goals are to be met.
This is because continued improvements in energy efficiency would be more than offset by increased demand from electric vehicles (EVs) and electric heat pumps. In effect, the UK would be electrifying part of the energy demand it currently meets using fossil gas and oil.
For example, the CCC's central scenario to 2030 anticipates electricity demand of 365TWh, up around 8% on 2018 levels. This allows for 2m heat pumps and 20TWh for EVs. Demand from road transport could eventually reach more than double this level, if the whole UK fleet switches to EVs.
Generation and supply
The figures in this article and analysis are based on UK electricity generation. This is the amount of electricity produced at power plants within the UK's borders. It includes generation at pumped hydro stations, even though these are net electricity users after accounting for what is needed to pump water to their uphill storage reservoirs.
These figures align with the widely reported numbers published by BEIS in its quarterly Energy Trends chapter 5. BEIS also publishes figures on the amount of electricity supplied to the UK grid after accounting for power used on site – for instance, to run nuclear plant cooling equipment or coal pulverisers. This includes electricity imported to the UK from overseas via interconnectors.
On this measure, the UK imported around 6% of its electricity supplies in 2018, Carbon Brief analysis shows. Most of the UK's imported electricity comes from France, via the 2 gigawatt (GW) electricity interconnector between the two countries that opened in 1986.
The UK imported 4-6% of its power in the 1990s via this link. The share of imports in UK supplies halved during the 2000s before rising back to its current level of 6%. The UK also has a 1GW link to the Netherlands and a 0.5GW cable to Ireland. A 1GW link to Belgium is to open early this year.
After accounting for imports, the amount of electricity supplied in the UK in 2018 is about the same as that seen in 1995. UK electricity demand has fallen significantly since 2005, though the 47TWh reduction is slightly lower than the 65TWh fall in generation. This is because of increased imports.
A large number of new interconnectors are being developed and government projections suggest imported electricity could supply as much as a quarter of UK power by the mid-2020s.
Projections from the CCC assume net imports will average out to zero across each year in future. Instead, interconnectors would help to balance supply and demand between countries over shorter timescales, from minutes through to seasons.
The figures in the article are from BEIS Energy Trends chapter 5 through to the third quarter of 2018 and from Carbon Brief analysis of BM Reports and Sheffield Solar generation data for the final quarter. The figures from BM Reports are for electricity supplied to the national transmission grid. In Carbon Brief's analysis, the BM Reports numbers are adjusted to account for electricity used by power plants on site and for generation by plants not connected to the high-voltage national grid. This includes many onshore windfarms, as well as industrial gas combined heat and power plants and those burning landfill gas, waste or sewage gas.

In his speech, Barr says "Whichever nation emerges as the global leader in AI will be best positioned to unlock not only its considerable economic potential, but a range of military applications, such as the use of computer vision to gather intelligence."
Recently defence-blog.com, a leading source of military news and analysis, published an article about the advancement of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the military. Some of the few key aspects about this article were the intended uses and scenarios for the use of AI in the military.
In the article, referencing an "episode of the CCDC Army Research Laboratory's podcast issued on June 25, Dr. John Fossaceca, AIMM program manager, said he seeks to develop the foundational capabilities that will enable autonomy in the next generation of combat vehicles. This include the construction of a robotic combat vehicle that operates independently of the main combat vehicle."
A few major uses of AI or Artificial Intelligence in the military are:
Destroying long range targets with the help of AI algorithms to with the necessary weather and terrain/geographical data to improve "sensor to shooter time"
In general terms right now, a "robotic combat vehicle that operates independently of the main combat vehicle."
Natural Language Processing to have communication between soldiers and AI based vehicles or assets
The purpose of their research is to reduce the amount of work and effort soldiers put into maneuvering vehicles remotely, as well as increase the amount of information and data processed while on the move and in an operation. With artificial intelligence, processing vast amounts of data in seconds is of no issue; in fact, having a communicable AI to process your data and better help operations would likely increase their success rate.
AI in the military can be a scary thing. From killer robots and killer vehicles, to better and faster analysis leading to quicker reaction times to shoot long range targets, Artificial Intelligence carries a number of responsibilities in the military. With the OMFV program, a program dedicated to increasing autonomous weapons vehicles and remotely manned weapons vehicles, the military is increasing it's efforts to move soldiers to move efficient tasks.
The Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program, formerly the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) program, intends to increase remote and autonomous fighting vehicles in the military.
According to a report by the Congressional Research Service, "On April 9, 2020, the Army provided new OMFV program guidance to industry featuring a five-phased approach to
acquisition as well as a pledge to "reduce foreign barriers to competition," and "identify a pathway to integrate relevant but immature technologies" into the program." This likely refers to the developing AI (Artificial Intelligence) research and algorithms that are still in their infancy stage but see relevant results in developed scenarios.
AI, or Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace and Jobs
With the U.S. Job market on the rise over the last decade, and an increase in applicants to major industries and fortune 500 companies, AI plays a huge role in the job and human resources department.
Triplebyte is a great example of automation in the job industry. Their business is essentially to evaluate applicants with a series of relevant tests in computer based industries or tracks.
Automation can be applied heavily to accept more qualified applicants, save time for both businesses and applicants, and set a clear standard to what businesses are looking for. Triplebyte offers that exact automation for big tech companies like Microsoft and Apple.
A major purpose of this is to cut down the excess time HR (Human Resources) and recruiters go through when selecting or interviewing candidates, and provides a strong assessment of their skill.
Redistribution of Jobs and Layoffs due to Artificial Intelligence
It's clear that many jobs are at risk when dealing with Artificial Intelligence. Many analytics and information processing/data analysis/data entry and data related jobs are at risk with most forms of AI, not to mention robotics and automated machinery threatening manual labor or technical work.
Microsoft recently removed at least 50 contractor in it's MSN News affiliate, in an effort to utilize AI (artificial intelligence) in the news industry. While this comes with some backlash, Microsoft is sure this would increase their quality and output and is the right choice in response to their fiscal year.
Replacing jobs with artificial intelligence is definitely a concern for many workers, contractors, and anyone at risk of loosing employment, but companies know they can use these systems to process vast amounts of data and utilize this aspect to their economic benefit. Whether they outperform humans or specifically improve standards is yet to be seen.
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, reading minds/brianwaves!
Artificial intelligence is better at reading your mind than most psychics.
Russian Nerobiotics, with researchers from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology) developed AI (Artificial Intelligence) that can draw imagery and categorize the videos subjects watched by simply monitoring their brainwaves.
This research comes in light of AI analysis and the growing understanding of our brain. Brainwaves can be monitored with a device called the electroencephalography (EEG) headset, a headset with electrodes that record and monitor brainwaves. This powerful study can vastly improve our ability to understand out thoughts in brainwaves, as well as our ability to process them digitally!
Check out this amazing video depicting the research!
According to the research abstract:
"We introduce an effective closed-loop BCI system that reconstructs the observed or imagined stimuli images from the co-occurring brain wave parameters. The reconstructed images are presented to the subject as a visual feedback."
Image and Video Reconstruction
AI then tries to categorize and create some video only from brain scan data. In 210 of 234 attempts, AI managed to categorize each video with tags that is related to the main topic of the video.
AI can be a powerful tool in analyzing these brainwaves, and many other studies have been known to analyze brainwaves for real-time information. While the study remains un-peer reviewed, it still shines a light on the capabilities of machine learning and processing of data.
We look forward to the new ways in which Artificial Intelligence can increase information consumption in the future, but it's obvious warnings should not be forgotten.

Mr. Fischer and the other barn walkers after being shot.
Mr. Fischer is one of Greene family neighbors and is also the husband of Mrs. Fischer. He was one of the walkers that were put inside the Greene Family barn.
Almost nothing is known about Mr. Fischer's life before or as the outbreak began except that he was probably friends with Hershel and his family. Otis most likely put him in the barn some time after the outbreak.
Mr. Fischer is first mentioned by Maggie when she is fighting with Glenn about what to call the walkers. He is one of the family's neighbors and when he became infected, he was put in Hershel's barn along with his wife and several other walkers.
Mr. Fischer was killed along with all the other walkers in the barn when Shane opened the doors and the group of Atlanta Survivors shot everyone that was inside.
Mr. Fisher's body is seen at the beginning of the episode on the ground. Later in the episode, it is burned by T-Dog.
It is unknown if Mr. Fischer was bitten by a walker and succumbed to the fever, or died of another cause. Being infected, Hershel places him inside the barn where he becomes a walker.
After Shane forces the barn open, the walkers exit the barn and are systematically gunned down by the group of survivors. Mr. Fischer is among the walkers taken down. It is unknown which survivor actually shot and killed him.

Q: how can I manage this? I need help with this:

*

*What is an equation of the line that goes through (−1, −3) and is perpendicular to the
line 2x+7y+5=0?
need code in python

A: The line  2x + 7y + 5 = 0 has slope -2/7, so a line perpendicular to this must have slope equal to the negative reciprocal of this, which is 7/2. So the desired line is of the form y = (7/2)x + c. Now since (-1, -3) lies on the line, we must have -3 = (7/2)*(-1) + c, which gives c = 1/2. Hence the equation of the desired line is y = (7/2)x + 1/2, which can also be written as 7x - 2y + 1 = 0.

Each lovely structure has a powerful base to it. Equally, behind every beautiful face lies a superb base. There's numerous makeup out there, from sheer to full protection foundations , high finish to drugstore, matte to dewy-end… It is a magnificence minefield. With life moving at hyper-speed—checking electronic mail at 30,000 ft is now regular, FaceTime is a completely applicable form of catching up—multitasking has by no means seemed extra essential (or more environment friendly).
Hyaluronic acids and Matrixly, an anti-growing old ingredient, work to hydrate the pores and skin and smooth fantastic strains on this even finish foundation. Just make sure the pic was taken in pure light and is pretty closeup. I lastly found it. I really like that it is all natural components, and I now use it as my moisturizer on the days I wear makeup.
If you need that youthful dewy finish, this Nars foundation is right. Lastly, the struggle to find a lengthy-lasting components (yes, one that won't disappear come 3pm) with lovely coverage is over – yay. Sixty percent of British people presently undergo from or have suffered with a skin illness sooner or later during their lifetime.
Chanel's Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation is the proper possibility for make-up minimalists that simply want a quick application that lasts from day to night. I ordered this makeup within the gentle and even though I loved it, the colour was just to mild. This all encompassing foundation covers, hydrates, heals fantastic strains, and improves the skin while offering a flawless, even end all day.
You'll be able to remedy this by applying a light-weight layer of moisturizer or a serum beneath, although that can scale back the matte side of the end. I was frightened concerning the oil primarily based, however my skin appears to be very proud of it. Normally I get away with any new face product, but my pores and skin appears nice with this!


We started the week with shower curtains, and although I thought my selection of funky designs almost made them seem like the new must-have in home decor, I thought I should try and raise the bar slightly today. And how better to do that than to have a little spotlight on an up-and-coming French design studio that is just too cool for school? Let me present: Petite Friture.

Q: Change the key of an object with one attribute from its values Having an array of objects with this structure:
[
    {
        key: id,
        value: id, name, type
    },
    {   key: id,
        value: id, name, type
    },
    {   key: id,
        value: id, name, type
    }
];

The key used is the id. There could be more groups of values for the same id, like:
{ 132: Array(1), 243: Array(1), 389: Array(3)}
    132: Array(1)
        0: eqKey: "abc", id: 132, name: "name1"
    243: Array(1)
        0: eqKey: "ccc", id: 243, name: "name2"
    389: Array(3)
        0: eqKey: "vcv", id: 389, name: "name3"
        1: eqKey: "tre", id: 389, name: "name4"
        2: eqKey: "ace", id: 389, name: "name5"

My question is if it's a way to "regroup" the structure, instead of being grouped by id to be grouped by type. (Type is unique)
So the final form for the above example would look like this:
{"abc": Ar(1), "ccc": Ar(1), "vcv": Ar(1), "tre": Ar(1), "ace": Ar(1)}
    "abc": Array(1)
        0: eqKey: "abc", id: 132, name: "name1"
    "ccc": Array(1)
        0: eqKey: "ccc", id: 243, name: "name2"
    "vcv": Array(1)
        0: eqKey: "vcv", id: 389, name: "name3"
    "tre": Array(1)
        0: eqKey: "tre", id: 389, name: "name4"
    "ace": Array(1)
        0: eqKey: "ace", id: 389, name: "name5"

A: You could use two nested reduce for the outer values of the object and the inner array.

var data = { 132: [{ eqKey: "abc", id: 132, name: "name1" }], 243: [{ eqKey: "ccc", id: 243, name: "name2" }], 389: [{ eqKey: "vcv", id: 389, name: "name3" }, { eqKey: "tre", id: 389, name: "name4" }, { eqKey: "ace", id: 389, name: "name5" }] },
    grouped = Object
        .values(data)
        .reduce(
            (r, a) => a.reduce(
                (s, o) => ((r[o.eqKey] = r[o.eqKey] || []).push(o), s),
                r
            ),
            {}
        );

console.log(grouped);

A: As pointed out in the comments, your second code snippet is impossible in JS. Objects must have unique keys.
However, I believe what you are trying to achieve is this:

const array = [
  {
    1: { id: 1, name: 'name', type: 'ab' }
  },
  {
    5: { id: 5, name: 'name', type: 'aa' },
    4: { id: 4, name: 'name', type: 'ac' }
  }
];

const result = array
  .reduce((arr, item) => Object
    .keys(item)
    .reduce((arr2, key) => ([...arr2, { [item[key].type]: item[key] }]), arr), []);

console.log(result);

A: You can use reduce to loop thru the array. Convert each object using Object.values to array and use forEach to loop thru the converted array

const arr = [{"1":{"id":1,"name":"name1","type":"xx"}},{"2":{"id":2,"name":"name2","type":"xy"}},{"5":{"id":5,"name":"name5","type":"vc"},"6":{"id":5,"name":"name6","type":"fg"},"7":{"id":5,"name":"name7","type":"ae"}}];

const result = arr.reduce((c, v) => {
  Object.values(v).forEach(o => c.push({[o.type]: o}))
  return c;
}, []);

console.log( result );

On new browsers ( Or using a profiler ), you can use flatMap

const arr = [{"1":{"id":1,"name":"name1","type":"xx"}},{"2":{"id":2,"name":"name2","type":"xy"}},{"5":{"id":5,"name":"name5","type":"vc"},"6":{"id":5,"name":"name6","type":"fg"},"7":{"id":5,"name":"name7","type":"ae"}}];

const result = arr.flatMap(o => Object.values(o).map(v => ({[v.type]: v})))

console.log(result);

A: You can achieve your requirements using reduce method.

The reduce() method executes a reducer function (that you provide) on
  each member of the array resulting in a single output value.

const data = [{
    id: 1,
    name: "name1",
    type: "xx"
  },{
    id: 2,
    name: "name2",
    type: "xy"
  },{
    id: 5,
    name: "name5",
    type: "vc"
  },{
    id: 5,
    name: "name6",
    type: "fg"
  }, {
    id: 5,
    name: "name7",
    type: "ae"
  }
];

const result = data.reduce(function(r, a) {
  r[a.type] = r[a.type] || [];
  r[a.type].push(a);
  return r;
}, Object.create(null));

console.log(result);


How to write three digit numbers in numerals and words?
There are three digits in a 3-digit number. According to their values, the digits are placed from right to left at one's place, ten's place and hundred's place. Now to write numbers beyond 100, we can proceed in the same way as we proceeded in writing numbers beyond 10 and to name them follow the same pattern.
To write numbers in words and figures beyond 160 we can follow the same pattern that we are following till now in three-digit numbers in numerals and words.
To write numbers beyond 1,000 we can follow the same pattern as we followed in three-digit numbers in numerals and words.
Here there are 2 categories to write 3-digit numbers i.e., numbers in numerals and numbers in words.

Yahoo Will Follow Google In Encrypting Data Center Traffic, Customer Data Flow By Q1 '14
Matthew Panzarino	@Panzer / 8 years
Yahoo has announced this morning that it will make all traffic flowing between its data centers encrypted by Q1 of 2014. This follows moves by other companies like Google to do so after recent revelations about the NSA's data gathering sparked concern and outrage.
Yahoo's announcement, made by CEO Marissa Mayer, outlines a plan to encrypt all of the data that moves between its data centers internally. Yahoo recently announced plans for 2048-bit key SSL encryption in Yahoo Mail by January 8th, 2014. Other encryption plans for the company include offering encryption for all data traveling between Yahoo and its customers by the end of Q1 '14 as well. Yahoo says that it will work with all of its co-branded international Mail partners to ensure that at least the basic HTTPS protocol is enabled.
"As you know, there have been a number of reports over the last six months about the U.S. government secretly accessing user data without the knowledge of tech companies, including Yahoo," says Mayer. "I want to reiterate what we have said in the past: Yahoo has never given access to our data centers to the NSA or to any other government agency. Ever."
The announcement today comes in the wake of Google making similar moves (which began last year). Google began encrypting the traffic between its data centers after the exposure of a joint NSA-GCHQ program known as MUSCULAR, which outlined a system in which it spliced itself into communications between the company's servers to gather data on surveillance subjects. The MUSCULAR project also targeted Yahoo directly, as shown in government documents obtained by Edward Snowden and exposed by The Washington Post.
The plan outlined a procedure which could intercept SSL communications between server groups at Yahoo or Google (or other large tech firms with lots of user data) to gather information on hundreds of millions of user accounts, both foreign and domestic. The WaPo report stated that millions of records a day were intercepted from Yahoo and Google networks:
According to a top-secret accounting dated Jan. 9, 2013, the NSA's acquisitions directorate sends millions of records every day from internal Yahoo and Google networks to data warehouses at the agency's headquarters at Fort Meade, Md. In the preceding 30 days, the report said, field collectors had processed and sent back 181,280,466 new records — including "metadata," which would indicate who sent or received e-mails and when, as well as content such as text, audio and video.
Earlier this month, Google engineer Brandon Downey posted a personal (not company) statement about the WaPo story, putting it bluntly:
Fuck these guys.
I've spent the last ten years of my life trying to keep Google's users safe and secure from the many diverse threats Google faces.
I've seen armies of machines DOS-ing Google. I've seen worms DOS'ing Google to find vulnerabilities in other people's software. I've seen criminal gangs figure out malware. I've seen spyware masquerading as toolbars so thick it breaks computers because it interferes with the other spyware.
I've even seen oppressive governments use state sponsored hacking to target dissidents.
But even though we suspected this was happening, it still makes me terribly sad. It makes me sad because I believe in America.
Google announced that its efforts to encrypt all of its internal communications were approved last year, but 'accelerated' in June after Snowden's revelations prompted fears of data tapping.
After being queried by the Register about its encryption practices, fellow data-heavy giant Microsoft said that it did not encrypt server-to-server traffic and that "recent disclosures make it clear we need to invest in protecting customers' information from a wide range of threats, which, if the allegations are true, include governments. We are evaluating additional changes that may be beneficial to further protect our customers' data."
Encrypting server-to-server traffic seems like a no-brainer, but Yahoo is not alone in scrambling to put it into effect. The saddest aspect is that the lack of action here was largely due to the expectation of privacy from our own government, not lack of fear of outside 'malicious actors'.

Home / Ahwaz / Where does Ahwazi diverted water goes???
The prosperity of the Iranian desert provinces such as Isfahan, Kerman, Yazd, Qom, and Semnan did not happen only at the expense of destroying the one of the Al-Ahwaz province of Khuzestan (the richest province in the world), when the mentioned governorates' body were the head of the fifth governments to date, such as (Hashemi Rafsanjani from Kerman), (Mohammad Khatami from Yazd), (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from Semnan), (Hassan Rouhani from Semnan).
Also the construction of large-scale water-based industries such as steel, petrochemicals, steam plants (combined cycle) and the ceramic and brick industry that does not have any economic justification. Due to water-using products whose water prices are higher than the product itself, will count as an unreasonable measure.
Establishment of three large petrochemical units in "Qa'im", "Abarkuh" and "Meybod" cities has been approved and the next steps for construction and commissioning are underway.
According to the Iranian minister of energy Mr. Chitchian, quoted by Tasnim news agency that, the current cultivation area has grown five times more than 200,000 hectares in Isfahan province. This trend is also true in other desert provinces.
The Iranian government under pretext of the "transferring water for drinking purposes", will continue to open new water-base factories in the provinces of Isfahan, Yazd and Kerman, and in one of the Kerman province's cities and based on the transitional water, is believed to turn into a major pole of steel production in Iran.
In fact, Al-Ahwaz is the victim of Iranian state-neglected policies that is represented in consecutive governments such as fifth and sixth government (the construction government) and the seventh and eighth government (the reform government), the ninth and tenth government (Graceful Government), and the eleventh and twelfth government (the contrive and hope government).
Temperatures in Ahwaz city hit 129.2F (54C), near hottest on Earth in modern measurementsand have tied the world record for the most extreme high temperature.
Ahwaz in south Iran is one of the world's most polluted cities, according to a recent air quality survey by the World Health Organization.
These particles can cause asthma, heart disease and lung cancer.
The deaths of fish in the Al-Azim wetland occurs every year in the months of August and September as a result of reducing the level of incoming water to wetland due to Ahwazi river water's diversion resulting to high degree of temperature and humidity and oxygen depletion that led to death of thousands of Ahwazi fish.
The wastewater is transported to Hoor-al-azim wetland containing heavily chemical metals. In any country, the wetlands are not filled by waste or sewage water as in Iran happens.
The Garden of Eden is dying. Reputed to be two of Eden's four rivers, the Karoun and Karkheh have been reduced to a trickle as an environmental disaster is unfolds in the Ahwaz region. One of the Middle East's last verdant areas is being turned into a wasteland as Iran pursues its drive to power up its economy by building a massive complex of dams and divert waters to central Iran.

Dues are due March 1 after fee bill signed
The State Bar sent bills last month to more than 220,000 California attorneys for 2010 dues after Gov. Schwarzenegger signed a measure authorizing collection of fees. Dues must be paid by March 1.
Bar dues for active lawyers are $410 and inactive lawyers owe $125.
"We are grateful to the governor for signing the State Bar 2010 fee bill. He has helped us to focus on issues and matters that are important to the State Bar," said President Howard Miller. "We also want to thank the legislative leadership that has been so supportive and forthcoming. This entire period has strengthened the State Bar and given us important missions and goals that we now can actively achieve."
Although the bar had postponed the deadline for dues payment, it left in place the Feb. 1 deadline for MCLE compliance for members of Group 1 — those whose last names begin with A-G. Noncompliance will result in a $75 penalty.
When the legislature reconvened Jan. 4, SB 55 was introduced as an urgency measure and passed both houses unanimously.
In his signing statement, the governor wrote, "Last year I vetoed Senate Bill 641, the State Bar's annual dues bill, over concerns about management of the State Bar. I am pleased that the State Bar has taken these concerns seriously and has taken commendable steps to address these problems.
"Consequently, I am reinstating the State Bar's authority to collect dues from its members by signing this measure. I urge the State Bar to continue its efforts and look forward to evaluating its progress when next year's dues bill comes to my desk."
The fee for active lawyers includes $40 for the Client Security Fund, $25 for discipline, $10 for the Lawyer Assistance Program, $10 for the building fund and a $10 assessment for technology. The remainder, $315, supports the general fund.
The inactive fee includes $75 for the general fund, $10 for both the Client Security Fund and the building fund, $25 for discipline and $5 for the LAP. The fee is waived for inactive lawyers over 70.
Failure to pay dues by the deadline will trigger a $100 late payment penalty for active lawyers and a $35 penalty for inactive attorneys.
Lawyers also will have the opportunity to donate to the Justice Gap Fund (recommended donation $100), the California Bar Foundation ($50 recommended donation), the Conference of Delegates of California Bar Associations (CDCBA — $35 recommended donation) and the California Supreme Court Historical Society (CSCHS — a $25 donation is recommended).
Active lawyers with qualifying income levels are eligible for a 25 percent reduction in the membership fee. To qualify, a lawyer must declare a total gross annual individual income from all sources of less than $40,000 in 2009.
Dues can be paid online by logging on to calbar.ca.gov and signing in to the My State Bar Profile feature in the left menu.
Although the earlier dues bill won passage in both houses of the legislature by wide margins, Schwarzenegger said he would not sign it because the bar "cannot continue with business as usual." In particular, he criticized the agency for a state audit that found inefficiencies in the discipline operation, the embezzlement of $676,000 by a former employee and the unauthorized disclosure of the rating of a candidate for the appellate bench.
The bar board hired a Sacramento auditing firm to conduct ongoing internal audits and Miller appointed a committee to investigate the leak. It was unable to determine its source.
Information about bar dues and MCLE compliance is available by calling the Member Services Center at 1-888-800-3400.

Claiming Israel Is the "Nation State of the Jewish People" Is Widely Criticized
In November, a proposal for a basic law "Israel, the Nation-State of the
Jewish People" passed in the Israeli Cabinet by a vote of 14-6, with two
centrist coalition parties opposing it. For the bill to become law it must
be approved by the Knesset, Israel's parliament.
There is much opposition to this proposed legislation by those who argue
that it would make Israel's non-Jewish citizens — 20 per cent of the
population — less than equal. Ahmed Tibi, a veteran Arab member of the
Knesset, says that that there has long been tension between the halves of
the term "Jewish democracy," as Israel defines itself. He notes that the
proposed legislation simply confirms that the Jewish and democratic state is
fiction." He described Israel instead as a "Judocracy" that would never
recognize the collective rights of "a minority that has long suffered
The proposed Nationality Law makes clear that even the limited democracy
which Israel now enjoys is under serious threat. Editorially, The New York
Times (Nov. 25, 2014) declares that, "Since its founding in 1948, Israel's
very existence and promise has been based on the ideal of democracy for all
its people. Its Declaration of Independence, which provides the guiding
principles for the state, makes clear that the country was established as a
homeland for the Jews and guarantees 'complete equality of social and
political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or
sex.' That is why it is heartbreaking to see the Israeli cabinet approve a
contentious bill that would officially define Israel as the nation-state of
the Jewish people, reserving 'national rights' only for Jews … To go back
and emphasize nationality and religion in defining the country … runs
counter to the long-term movement among liberal democracies toward a more
inclusive vision of a state … Having experienced the grievous legacies
created when a government diminishes the rights of its people, we know this
is not the path Israel should take."
Prof. Juan Cole of the University of Michigan argues that, "Saying Israel is
a Jewish state in the sense of race would be analogous to insisting that the
U.S. is a 'white' state and defining Latinos as 'brown.' And saying it is a
Jewish state in the sense of observant believers would be like asserting
that the U.S. is a Christian state even though about 22 per cent of the
population does not identify as Christian (roughly the same proportion as
non-Jews in Israel) … Netanyahu's demand is either racist or fundamentalist
and is objectionable from an American point of view on human rights grounds
either way."
Avi-noam Bar-Yosef, president of the Jewish People Policy Institute, said
that any distortion of the balance between Israel's Jewish and democratic
character "may stain Israel in the eyes of the free world and distance
diaspora Jews."
Writing in Washington Jewish Week (Nov. 27, 2014), Israeli journalist
Sarabeth Lukin notes that, "The bill upends the concept of Israel as 'a
Jewish and democratic state' and downgrades democracy to a secondary status.
It declares that Israel is first and foremost 'the nation-state of the
Jewish people,' providing all of Israel's 8 million citizens with the vague
promise that they will be afforded 'personal rights in accordance with every
law.' The proposed law also declares that only the Jewish people enjoy the
right to national self-determination and that housing can be determined by
religion or nationality. And if Jewish law, Halacha, takes precedence over
civil law in both legal and legislative proceedings, as some scholars
interpret the bill, Israel will find itself in the company of other
theocratic Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran."
Beyond this, the claim that Israel is the "nation-state" of "the Jewish
people," is an ideological construct that has no relationship to reality.
The "nation-state" of American Jews is the United States, just as the
"nation-state" of British Jews is the United Kingdom and the "nation-state"
of French Jews is France, etc.
If Israel seeks genuine peace, it should content itself with being the
nation of all of its citizens and abandon the myth that it is the "nation-
state" of Jews who are citizens of other countries. •

In 2009, J Street founder Jeremy Ben-Ami promised to be a "blocking back" if President Barack Obama clashed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his friends in Congress over the creation of a Palestinian state.
Six years after Ben-Ami made that promise, there is no hope for a Palestinian state — and no presidential initiative for a two-state solution to back up. Members of J Street, a U.S.-based liberal pro-Israel group, hoped that Netanyahu would lose his throne to Issac Herzog, the head of the Labor Party, in the March 17 election. Instead, Netanyahu, the "King of Israel" and a staunch opponent of a Palestinian state, has consolidated his power with a crushing win in the Israeli election. His Likud party exceeded expectations, capturing 29 Knesset seats.
Netanyahu's decisive victory is a clarifying moment. J Street and other liberal Zionist groups in the U.S. and Israel must come to terms with the dissolution of their raison d'être, the creation of a Palestinian state and the end of the Israeli occupation. Netanyahu has institutionalized a dystopian, unequal one-state reality in historic Palestine in which Israelis continue to dominate the lives of Palestinians, who cannot move freely through the West Bank or get out of the Gaza Strip.
If J Street wants to stay relevant, it should think about shifting its message to one that reflects this reality. But that's not what it is doing.
In a postelection statement Ben-Ami said J Street would continue to stand "for an end to occupation, for a two-state solution and for an Israel that is committed to its core democratic principles and Jewish values." It's a nice sentiment but one that is out of touch with the facts on the ground, as Netanyahu's final days of campaigning revealed.
On March 16, the day before the election, Netanyahu told an Israeli newspaper that "whoever moves to establish a Palestinian state or intends to withdraw from territory is simply yielding territory for radical Islamic terrorist attacks against Israel." The paper asked him if he meant a Palestinian state would not be established. "Indeed," he responded.
Netanyahu had set a 10-year record for issuing settlement tenders for future construction.
Netanyahu's bluntness in explaining why he helped build Har Homa was new, but his values have always been clear. He has always promised to hold on to settlements that make it impossible for a Palestinian state to be created. In 2010, he said, "Ariel, the capital of Samaria [the northern West Bank], will be an integral, inseparable part of the state of Israel in any future arrangement." Ariel juts deep into the West Bank and blocks a connection between the Palestinian town of Salfit and a group of villages to the north.
Since Netanyahu returned to power in 2009, he has presided over more settlement expansion. Earlier this year, the anti-settlement group Peace Now released a report concluding that Netanyahu set a 10-year record for issuing settlement tenders for future construction.
The world must face reality: Netanyahu is not going to uproot these settlements. He's going to expand them, spitting in the face of the U.S. and other countries that say they want to see a Palestinian state and an end to conflict. This expansion will only entrench the one-state solution that he presides over — a state encompassing both Israel and the occupied territories, where only Israelis have political rights.
Liberal pro-Israel groups such as J Street don't seem to be adjusting well to this newly confirmed reality. They are clinging to a hope that the U.S. can broker a two-state solution, a hope that is merely an illusion as long as Netanyahu remains in office. Ben-Ami should face up to the truth, call for real pressure on Israel and join the struggle for equal rights in a single state encompassing Israel and the Palestinian territories.

Father, at times it seems like the faithful have vanished and there is not one godly person to be found. Everyone's speech is made up of lies, and the poor are mistreated. But you will not stand idly by forever. When the poor are mistreated you will arise and come to their side. Your words are perfectly pure, like silver refined seven times over. I do not deserve the love you have for me, the way you have pursued me all my life. You were sick with love for me until I came to put my faith in your Son. Now I am yours. Your desire is for me, and mine is for you. Many waters cannot quench the love you have for your children, neither can floods destroy it. Your love cannot be bought, but must simply be accepted. For the price has already been paid.


Southcoast Health has launched the Hope Rocks Project, an initiative that will remind patients that they are not alone in their fight against cancer.
Patients and visitors at the Southcoast Centers for Cancer Care in Fairhaven and Fall River will be asked to draw a picture, write a message or add a few simple words to a small rock. The patient or visitor can then take the rock and find a spot to leave it in the community over the course of their day. The rocks out in the community remind patients and their families of the support they have.
