A welcome as warm and cordially as the climate in the beautiful cove of Weggis is. The hotel Alpenblick sits enthroned in the middle of the picturesque and peaceful village. Weggis, situated on the eastern shore of the Lake Lucerne, allows a breathtaking view on the Swiss Alps.
The house's history is long and eventful. The villa Alpenblick was built in 1900 and experienced since then several renovations and modifications. In 2013, the inventive heads of the Sinnvoll Gastro, based in Lucerne, took the house and its fortune under their wings. In June 2013, the restaurant reopened and the hotel gets a step-by-step partial renovation.
Monday – Thursday 4p.m. to 11.30 p.m.
Friday 4 p.m. to 0.30a.m.
Saturday 2p.m. to 0.30 a.m.
All our guests have access to free Wi-Fi in all rooms.

All our hotel guests have free access to our panoramic pool.

Dear lovers, this room, furnished and decorated in alpine chic style, is made especially for you. The unbelievably comfortable boxspring bed can deal with all sorts of challenges. We do strongly recommend it for cuddling, relaxing and switching off all daily issues. And if you can take your eyes off of each other – hey, have a look at the wonderful Lake Lucerne or the surrounding Swiss Alps. It's worth it. Promise.
Get enchanted by the grandeur of Lake Lucerne and by the absolutely tremendous view on the mountains. Here, you will find rest, silence, soft pillows, fresh air and foresight. Need a written guarantee? No problem. But, please be aware: Taking leave will be difficult.
Do you like sleeping like a royal couple in heavenly soft pillows but not paying more than a few francs for the night? Ok, then book our double room Economy with its marvellous view on Lake Lucerne and the Swiss Alps. The only small downer is that the room's bath is not yet as newly renovated as the other rooms baths. The bath is not entirely up-to-date that's the reason why you get a fantastic room with a breathtaking panorama, soft pillows and recovery for a bargain price.
Our insider tip for transients and business guests. Our hotel is ideally located on the route of the Grand Tour of Switzerland, close to Lucerne, Zug or Zurich and with an extra of hospitality. This room is also a perfect fit for couples in love who can't take their eyes off of each other. But this applies to all: have a rest, relax and then have a good start to your day.
Get tickled by the sun in the morning, marvel at the lake from your warm, cuddly bed or from the balcony, see the ships passing by – this is the beginning of a memorable day in Weggis. And do you know what's best about it? You can book it. What are you waiting for? We're looking forward to welcoming you.
Warm, bright colours, cuddly pillows and a lot of silence do guarantee a restful sleep. These guests (and all others, of course, too) are welcome: business travelers whose heads sink into mountains of files in the evening, active hikers who leave the house before dawn or individual travelers who enjoy to be on their own.
The hearts of our chefs beat traditionally, but their mind is open for new creations. Never has the Swiss way of cooking tasted better. We serve regional food with a tiny bit of Graubunden.
Do you miss our menu card? Well, there is no. The four-course surprise dinner changes daily and is always made with love using fresh and regional ingredients. Dinner is available for CHF 58 to CHF 62, depending on size and quality of the meat carefully chosen by our chef in advance.
The tasteful Alpenblick creations are served in big bowls, so there is surely enough for a second helping. A beautiful selection of Swiss and European wines completes the offer of meals made of regional and seasonal food.
Well hidden and very romantic. This is our wine cellar «Cantina 1313» with crown glass and special wines from the organic wine estate Sitenrain. You are invited to try other fine wines and we promise relaxation and indulgence. This cellar is perfect for a degustation or a pleasurable aperitif. Don't hesitate to contact us. We're looking forward to serving you.
We live according to the motto «There is always happening something» here at the Alpenblick. It doesn't matter if it is about the series of events «Feast for the ears» or about the Sunday's brunch during the warmer months – we know: When something is «on» at the Alpenblick, then we say «Yeehaw!» and bring radiant smiles to all faces.
Interested? Get in contact with us. We will help you with pleasure.
Stay away from everyday life at Weggis and get lifted after an exhausting workshop with the cog-railway to the Rigi Kaltbad Mineral Baths & Spa. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Please contact us +41 41 399 05 05 or via email: info@alpenblick-weggis.ch to get further information ab out out hotel deals.

This is a track from the 1987 film Bagdad Cafe, in which two women come across and befriend each other to run a cafe in the middle of a desert. I haven't seen the film yet. I don't know who the second person and 'the baby' in the lyrics represent. Although IMDB, "the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content" classifies the film as comedy and drama, the song sounds pretty sad and lonely.

Today, youth represent 60 percent of the continent's unemployed, and of these 40 million youths, 22 million have given up on finding a job, many of them women, according to the African Economic Outlook 2012.
Given the small size of the formal sector in many African countries, the report finds that a government focus on the informal sector and rural areas, which contain immense entrepreneurial talent, can serve as engines for inclusive growth since they can absorb higher numbers of unemployed youths.

Q: Free fall with resistance: solution to the ODE I'm having trouble solving this ODE:

$$\ddot x = \mu \dot x^2 - g,  \space \space x(0)=x_0$$

This is the ODE that determines the equation of motion of an object with air resistance. $\mu$ is a positive constant. This is what I've done:
Let $\dot x = v$ we have $v(0)  = 0$ by assumption and the equation becomes:
$$\dot v = \mu v^2 - g$$
This is a Riccati differential equation. Recall that a Riccati differential equation has the form
$$\dot x = h(t) + f(t) x + g(t)x^2$$
In our case is $h(t) = -g$, $f(t) = 0$ and $g(t) = \mu$
To solve this kind of differential equations one has to guess a solution, which in this case I found be:
$$v_p(t) = \sqrt{g \over \mu}$$
$\implies y = {1 \over {v- \sqrt{g \over n}}}$ $\implies y(0) = \sqrt{n\over g}$ to find the solution $v(t)$ one has to solve the following differential equation:
$$\dot y = -(f(t) + 2v_pg(t))y-g(t)$$
This is what I've done:
\begin{align}
\dot y & = -(f(t) + 2v_pg(t))y-g(t) \\
& \dot y = -2 \sqrt{g\mu }\space y - \mu \space
& (1)
\end{align}
Now this is a linear inhomogeneous differential equation an the solution is given by the sum of the homogeneous solution $y_h(t)$ with the particular solution $y_p (t)$ The homogeneous solution comes from:
$$\dot y = -2 \sqrt{g\mu }\space y \implies y_h = y(0) e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }}$$
for the particular solution $y_p(t)$ is a little bit more complicated then to find it I substituted
$$y_p(t) = y(0)(t)e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} = C_1 (t)e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }}$$
in the equation (1). This is what I get:
\begin{align}
 y_p(t)& =C_1(t)' e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} -2 \sqrt{g\mu }C_1(t)e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} = -2 \sqrt{g\mu }C_1(t)e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} - \mu
\end{align}
\begin{align}
\iff C_1(t)' e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} & = -\mu
\end{align}
$$ \iff C_1(t) = {-\mu \over {2 \sqrt{g\mu }}}e^{2 \sqrt{g\mu }}$$
summarizing we have
$$y(t) = {1 \over v - \sqrt {g \over n}} = C_1(t)e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} + y_h(t)= {-\mu \over {2 \sqrt{g\mu }}}e^{2 \sqrt{g\mu }}e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} + y(0) e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }} $$
$$= {-\mu \over {2 \sqrt{g\mu }}} + y(0) e^{-2 \sqrt{g\mu }}$$
from here I tried to solve $y = {1 \over {v- \sqrt{g \over n}}}$ with respect to $v$ and then solve the last ODE $v = \dot x$ but I think that something has gone wrong.
Is there an alternative way to solve the original ODE?  Is the method I've used the only one?

A: As you asked for methods I decided to post an alternative. Here we use the trick of eliminating the inhomogeneity.
First, consider only the equation for $v(t)=\dot{x}(t)$,
$$\dot{v}=\mu v^2-g.$$ The inhomogeneity $-g$ prevents us from simple integration of the ODE, so let's make it disappear by defining $w(t)=v(t)-\gamma$, which leads to
$$\dot{w}=\mu w^2+2\mu\gamma w+\mu\gamma^2-g.$$ We see that the choice $\gamma=\sqrt{g/\mu}$ kills the constant term, leadig to the homogenous equation for $w$:
$$\frac{dw}{dt}=\mu w^2+2\sqrt{\mu g}w,$$ which now can directly be integrated:
$$\int_{w_0}^{w(t)} \frac{dw}{\mu w^2+2\sqrt{\mu g}w}=\int_0 ^t dt.$$ This can be solved using $\int dt/(at^2+bt)=-(2/b)\text{artanh} (2at/b+1)$ (for $b>0$) which gives
$$\frac{-1}{\sqrt{\mu g}}\text{artanh}\left( \mu w+1 \right)-C=t$$ with some integration constant $C$. We can solve this for $w$ and obtain
$$w(t)=\sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu}}\left( \tanh[-\sqrt{\mu g}(t+C)]-1 \right).$$ Transforming back to our original function $v$ gives
$$v(t)=w(t)+\gamma=\sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu}} \tanh[-\sqrt{\mu g}(t+C)],$$ and from the initial condition $v(0)=0$ it follows that $C=0$.
Now you can integrate $v=\dot{x}$ to get the position solution using that $\int dt \tanh(t)=\ln (\cosh x)$ arriving at

$$x(t)=x_0-\frac{1}{\mu}\ln\left[ \cosh(-\sqrt{\mu g}t) \right],$$

where the integration constant has been chosen such that $x(0)=x_0$.

A: Use the fact
$$
\ddot{x} = \dot{x}\frac{d}{dx}\dot{x} = \frac{d}{dx}\frac{\dot{x}^{2}}{2}
$$
then the equation becomes
$$
\frac{d}{dx}\frac{v^{2}}{2} = \mu v^{2} - g
$$
Then you can solve directly to get
$$
v^{2}\mathrm{e}^{-2\mu x} = \int 2g \mathrm{e}^{-2\mu x} dx + C_{1} = -\frac{g}{\mu}\mathrm{e}^{-2\mu x} + C_{1}
$$
if $\dot{x}(0)=x(0)=0$ then
$$
C_{1} = \frac{g}{\mu}
$$
Hence
$$
v =\sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu}}\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^{2\mu x} - 1}
$$
then
$$
\frac{dx}{dt} = \sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu}}\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^{2\mu x} - 1}
$$
this leads
$$
\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^{2\mu x} - 1} }dx = \sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu}}t + C_{1}
$$
solving the right hand side yields
$$
\frac{1}{\mu}\arctan{\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^{2\mu x} - 1} } = \sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu}}t + C_{1},\\
\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^{2\mu x} - 1}  = \tan{\left(\sqrt{\mu g}t + C_{2}\right)}
$$
and then finally
$$
x(t) = \frac{1}{\mu}\ln{\left[\sec{\left(\sqrt{\mu g}t + C_{2}\right)}\right]}
$$
Check it out if it works out correctly. I did this without pen and paper..but the method holds (I think).

At first glance, it would appear that the concept of telecommuting is a new one. But the history of remote work has deep roots, spanning several generations! These five fun facts about remote work might be eye-opening—and just might inspire you to look for a flexible job, too!
1. Working from home is an ancient concept.
From hunter-gatherers to the first farmers, home was not only where the heart is—it was where the work was done, too. People lived and worked in the same living space to improve life for their tribes/families.
2. Industrialization didn't detract the work-from- home movement.
While industries blossomed during the Industrial Revolution, it didn't stop craftspeople from continuing to work from home. These pre-Etsy artisans would create their goods and offer their services from shops that often served as both a store and, in the back or above the main floor, as a living space for their families.
3. Environmental issues helped to pave the way for modern-day remote work.
By far, telecommuting is one of the greenest ways to work. Back in the 1970s, the clean air movement, gas shortages and high fuel costs inadvertently created a platform for remote work. And for workers who were environmentally aware, it helped create the case for people to start working remotely—and of course, save Mother Earth, too.
4. Telecommuting has gone from a work perk to common practice.
In just ten short years (2005-2015), telecommuting has increased by 115%. Numerous studies have shown that workplace flexibility outranks salary as job seekers' number one criteria in considering a job. As more people demand flexible working options, the workplace will only continue to respond in kind, since more companies are staffing remote employees.
5. Companies are now adopting flexible work policies.
While some companies have been hesitant to have an official flexible work policy, others have seen the benefits and are openly singing the praises of flexible work—for both employer and employee. After all, when Fortune 500 companies such as Dell, Aetna, Amazon, and American Express are all allowing employees to have flexible schedules (and are thriving!), it's easy to agree that telecommuting and flexible work options are advantageous to all.

Why should someone in the midst of a heart attack or comforting an injured child have to dial 911 when any one of the internet-connected gadgets in their home could do it for them?
That's the thinking behind Noonlight's push to put its personal safety app into everything from smart speakers to smart smoke detectors. Because as company founder Nick Droege put it, "You shouldn't have to press a button to get help if you're having a seizure."
Automakers figured this out years ago with features like OnStar, which can summon help when you've run off the road. But so far no one's brought such tech into the house in an equally big way. Even Alexa doesn't support calls to 911.
Noonlight, which until recently went by the name SafeTrek, launched five years ago with a smartphone app that lets you summon help without saying a word. Crossing a darkened parking lot in the wee hours? Just press and hold the button on the screen. Release it, and the app calls 911 unless you enter a PIN. The service costs $3 a month.
Now the company wants to expand the platform to gadget makers and usher in a new era of personal safety. It has partnerships to put its tech in the Amazon Alexa and Google Home smart speakers, Apple Health app, Nest Protect smoke detector, Canary security camera, and Biostrap health wearable.
The first integration went live Thursday with Canary. If it notices something amiss -- say, you've fallen and can't get up -- the camera sends you a push notification. If you don't reply within a set amount of time, it summons help.
Looking a little further into the future, Droege sees a day when all of your smart gadgets keep an eye on you. A Nest cam might see you grabbing your chest as your Apple Watch detects an erratic heartbeat. Google Home hears you gasping for breath and summon help.
These gadgets don't actually call 911 directly. Rather, they alert a dedicated call center, where a human being calls 911. That's what fall detection systems, which use accelerometers to detect a tumble, and vehicle systems like OnStar do.
You could argue, as Droege does, the call center approach is better than calling 911 directly because the center can keep detailed information about your location and medical history. Summon help from Noonlight and the call center creates a webpage with a unique case number and all of the relevant info, and gives the URL to a 911 dispatcher.
Droege says existing 911 is obsolete because it often relies on outdated software that can be a hassle to update. Apple (AAPL) reinforced the point when it announced it is working with a company called RapidSOS to provide 911 dispatchers with precise location information for calls made from iPhones.
All of this raises some serious privacy questions, of course. Data that goes into 911 systems is "pretty heavily siloed and protected," says Joseph Jerome, policy counsel at the Center for Democracy and Technology's Privacy and Data Project. There's no guarantee any of the devices that incorporate Noonlight will offer similar protection, he said.
He also worries the police or other authorities may try to obtain some of that information. This is not an unreasonable concern, given that prosecutors in Arkansas sought recordings from an Alexa smart speaker in a murder case last year. "It will be important to ensure this sort of proactive health monitoring is not used against individuals," he said.
Jerome also wonders if people really want an internet connected baby monitor and a smart speaker working together to make critical decisions. "It's important to recognize that we're grafting life or death functionality onto consumer products," he said. "The average wearable device is not something that is FDA-approved, and these products aren't necessarily interoperable."
Droege isn't worried. He believes smart devices can, and will, save lives. "We see the future of where it's going," he says. "Safety doesn't just have to be reactionary. It can be proactive."

Vivandieres, sometimes known as cantinieres, were women who followed the army to provide support for the troops. Ideally, a vivandiere would have been a young woman—the daughter of an officer or wife of a non-commissioned officer—who wore a uniform and braved battles to provide care for wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
The history of vivandieres can be traced to the French Zouave regiments in the Crimean War. By 1859, many local militia regiments in the United States had adopted the name "Zouave," wore colorful uniforms, and adopted the practice of having a "daughter of the regiment" in their ranks. At the outbreak of the American Civil War, these regiments—in both the North and the South—answered the call for troops. Vivandieres saw most of their service during the early years of the war. By September 1864, General Ulysses S. Grant ordered that all women be removed from military camps in his theater.
Discover the experiences of women during the Civil War with selected materials available in the Gilder Lehrman Collection.

Penn Battle II is the Best Spinning Reel for Stripers.
Penn Battle II 4000 is a mid-range reel with high-range features such as proprietary HT-100 drag system and redesigned ball bearings. You'll soon find this reel is your favorite piece of fishing gear. Penn Battle II 4000 offers fantastic overall value.
Penn Battle reels have been popular with saltwater anglers for many years. Battle II series, released in September 2014, is the successor to the original model.
The Penn Battle II has set the bar high for the mid-range spinning reels. It is considered to be one of the best striper fishing spinning reels in the world, dollar for dollar. In this review will cover the Penn Battle II 4000.
The 4000 model Penn Battle II is a tremendous reel and has great overall specs. It has a full aluminum body and an aluminum side plate and rotor but only weighs a 12.8 oz.
In addition, it comes with 5+1 upgraded ball bearings, a superline spool, line capacity rings, and an Infinite Anti-Reverse bearing.
The Penn Battle II 4000 can handle up to 165 yards of 12lb mono or 185 yards of 30lb braid. The capacity is perfect for catching big or small fish.
As you unbox your new Battle II you'll find the packaging is well designed. The packaging is just large enough to house the reel and the crank. There is also some cardboard shock padding, and bubble wrap for protection.
The crank installs on either side and is very easy to change out. Simply unscrew the crank and switch the cap from one size to the other.
Overall it is a pleasure to fish with the Penn Battle II. It has a super smooth operation and the instant Infinite Anti-Reverse ball bearing gives a solid hook set on larger fish by eliminating extra play in the handle.
The Battle II has proven to be very popular with striped bass anglers. It is a reliable reel that performs consistently no matter where you cast your line. It's also common to find spinners work better in windy environments than baitcasters. And, the Battle II is one of the best spinners on the market.
Penn's famous HT-100 Drag system is included on the 4000 model of this reel.
Made of carbon fiber fabric that's laminated on fiberglass, it provides 15 pounds of drag and the system is designed to dissipate heat in the drag sack. Greased with Penn Blue Lube, this drag system is far more durable than other carbon or felt washers.
Penn has created newly keyed drag washers in the Battle II. This new keying process allows Penn to use both sides of the washer. As a result, the upgraded HT-100 provides 20% more drag than the Penn Battle original model.
All of this means the Battle II is perfect for fish that go on a quick run. You are able to let the HT-100 Drag system wear down the fish so their runs will become successively shorter and less violent. Or you can stop a fish that is running for cover by turning up the drag. That mechanical advantage will give you an edge, especially if you are fighting a large striper or if you are an inexperienced angler.
You also get an edge from the 6.2:1 gear ratio on the 4000 model. It gives you over six spins for every one turn of the handle—or 37 inches of the line– providing you the power you need to pull in any large fish at the tail end of the fight.
The larger models of Battle II can even handle Sailfish or dolphin.
Another great feature of this reel is the newly designed ball bearings. These new bearings are fully sealed and designed to stop the saltwater intrusion.
On other reels, saltwater tends to get inside the ball bearings and crystalizes when it drys — which causes roughness as well as corrosion. If you've ever heard a crunching sound and felt any vibration when turning the crank on your old saltwater reel, you're familiar with poorly designed ball bearings.
These new bearings will reduce maintenance on your reel and keep you fishing longer. And the high-quality design of the Battle II doesn't stop there.
Most reels have a bearing for the line roller and the reel handle. This can be a nice feature, but it requires you to service your reel more often. Penn decided to use a bushing instead.
The bushing keeps out water and fish grime better than a bearing, without any loss of performance in the rod. It's a simple, easy adjustment that reduced the manufacturing cost of the Battle II so it would remain a mid-range reel but did not reduce its performance on the water.
Something you'll find very useful is the line capacity rings. The Battle II has rings marked at one third and two-thirds capacity.
First, it makes spooling the line much easier – you'll know how much line you need to add at a glance. Secondly, you will eventually find yourself fighting a big fish and need to know how much line you have before he spools you.
Instead of taking your eyes off the line too long while trying to guess and possibly losing the fish, you can take a quick look at the line capacity rings and see if you are under a third or not. And as you reel in the line, you'll be able to estimate how close you are to pulling in the striper.
Penn has created an awesome bail trip mechanism that reduces miscast and helps offer protection if you drop reels on rocks or sand. In fact, the entire reel has a high quality feel to it. Even the plastic drag cap with infinite clicks pings enough to be heard in a semi-loud environment.
Penn has taken the time to design and craft the Battle II in an all-aluminum body with an all-aluminum spool and used anti-corrosive paint to ensure you have a low maintenance reel that is just plain fun to fish with.
It can survive an accidental dunking or banging on rocks without a problem. It can serve you well for decades and you may find yourself passing it down to the next generation of family anglers. But if you buy the wrong size, Battle II 4000 is a very popular reel that tends to hold its resale value.
The Penn Battle II is painted black with gold accents, making it a very pretty reel. Penn has created a wonderful design that is highly functional while remaining attractive. There is something about the black and gold color scheme that feels elegant and powerful, just like the fish we are angling.
This really is the perfect reel for anglers of any skill level. You'll be surfcasting striped bass and bluefish before you know it, and having the Penn name and quality behind your new reel will give you the confidence to use it over and over again.
We hope you like our pick of the Best Spinning Reel for Stripers.
If you would like to suggest any other spinning reel for striped bass then please tell us via the comments section. We will try to include it in our next update.

Progress Singapore Party is fine with 'Tan Cheng Bock party' label — for now
SINGAPORE — The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) is not eager to shed its image as the "Tan Cheng Bock party", but the six-month-old outfit has a lot of "branding" to do, assistant secretary-general Anthony Lee has said.
Raj Nadarajan
The Progress Singapore Party on Sunday (Sept 29) went on a walkabout which, according to them, spanned all 29 electoral constituencies across Singapore.

By Wong Pei Ting
And despite its strong association with its 79-year-old founder, the party is also seeking to show that it is not "outdated" in the way it does things.
Armed with brochures that show just one face — Dr Tan's — the party on Sunday (Sept 29) went on a walkabout which, according to them, spanned all 29 electoral constituencies across Singapore.
Speaking to the media at his house after his walkabout at hawker centres in Ghim Moh and Tiong Bahru, Dr Tan said: "There's always this fear that the party is only Tan Cheng Bock. But I think, later on, when we introduce our young people, they'd realise that they are not so old."
"We are not so outdated in the way we do things," added the former People's Action Party (PAP) politician and Member of Parliament for Ayer Rajah from 1980 to 2006. "In fact, I'd say the manner in which they are conducting themselves is quite different from the time when I was a Member of Parliament."

He cited Sunday's walkabouts as an example. If the party were to use his "old style", which was to visit one hawker centre at a time, he would only cover four places in four weeks, said Dr Tan, who ran in the Presidential Election in 2011 but narrowly lost to former President Tony Tan.
The party is still gaining "roots" so there is "no way we can separate PSP from Dr Tan", said Mr Lee, 40.
"So ultimately, it is for us to try to do the branding up… It is not an easy task, but we are still working on it. So we came out today to meet all Singaporeans."
Former Democratic Progressive Party member Nadine Yap was at the PSP's walkabout on Sunday.
NEW MEMBERS, NEW STYLE
Among those seen during Sunday's walkabouts include Harvard graduate Nadine Yap, 50, formerly from the Democratic Progressive Party, Mr Ravi Philemon, 51, who used to be with the Singapore People's Party, and former Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) member Michelle Lee Juen, 43.
Ms Yap, the chief customer officer at communications technologies firm Temasys, joined PSP earlier this month. Asked if she has ambitions to run as a PSP candidate in the next General Election, which must be held by April 2021, Ms Yap said that she would prefer not to, adding that her strengths are in policy planning and other "backend work".
Notwithstanding the fact that the party has seen the entry of people from other opposition outfits, Dr Tan said that responsibilities had been given to young, albeit inexperienced, members at PSP to chart the way forward.
"Wait till we show you some of the things later on what (the young members are doing)... They have given me a lot of ideas," Dr Tan said.
"They will campaign differently from old traditional methods. That is what we call progress."
Former SDP member Michelle Lee Juen, currently a member of the PSP's central executive committee, speaking to the media at Dr Tan Cheng Bock's house after the walkabouts.
Pointing out that he had accepted that the younger members had challenged, and even criticised, his "old style" of working, he quipped: "My old style is so old, it should be put in the museum."
According to Dr Tan, the party now consists of not just scholars, but also people coming from top universities, "captains of industry", as well as the "ordinary man in the street".
On Saturday, the SDP became the first political party to unveil its election manifesto. As for the PSP's own manifesto, Ms Hazel Poa, who is in charge of its policy team, said the party's members are still refining their ideas and having discussions with external consultants.
But the manifesto is not expected to cover all aspects of governance as the election "is going to be rather soon", said Ms Poa, 49, a former National Solidarity Party secretary-general.
Mr Lee added that the party will pick issues that it will campaign on based on their "relevance" closer to election time.
PAP MPS REACT TO WALKABOUTS
During his walkabout at Tiong Bahru Market, Dr Tan bumped into Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Indranee Rajah who was conducting her walkabout at the same time.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ms Indranee, who is one of the MPs for Tanjong Pagar GRC, told reporters that it's "nice to see visitors once in a while".
"I understand from him that they are going all over the island, so there's no sort of particular significance in them coming here," she said.
Mr Lee said the PSP had sent out "courtesy notes" to other opposition parties to inform them of its islandwide walkabouts. "They all wished us well," he said.
While Dr Tan was not in Marine Parade, the presence of his team there caught the attention of his long-time friend, Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, who posted on Facebook: "PSP eyeing Marine Parade. 'Et tu, Brute?'"
The latter expression is a Latin line from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, which is often used to signify an unexpected betrayal by a friend.

Arab American Community Sees Hope in Elected Congresswoman of Palestinian Descent
SOURCE: WAFA
WASHINGTON, August 9, 2018 (WAFA) – The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said on Wednesday that the election of Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, to the US Congress brings hope for the community.
Tlaib won the Democratic Primary election victory in Michigan's 13th District. She is now poised to become the first Palestinian-American and Muslim women to serve in the US Congress comes the general election in November because her district is heavily Democratic and she does not have a Republican challenger.
Tlaib is the child of Palestinian immigrants but was born and raised in the Detroit, Michigan area. Tlaib was the second Muslim women ever elected to a state legislature in 2008 when she won a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives.
While in government, Tlaib has supported progressive stances such as expanding Medicare and strengthening workers and rights, said ADC. In an op-ed published two years ago, Tlaib stated, in reference to opposing President Donald Trump's actions and agenda, "silence is not an option and it never should be." Outside of government, Tlaib has dedicated her career and personal life to advancing civil, human, and environmental rights around the country.
"As the child of immigrants and an Arab, Tlaib is acutely aware of the issues that impact our community. In Congress, we know she will continue to be a strong advocate for the community, and we look forward to working with her," said ADC, the largest Arab American grassroots organization in the US committed to defending the rights of people of Arab descent and promoting their rich cultural heritage.

Abstract is an important aspect in thesis. It clearly identifies the main elements or findings of the thesis. It should be noted that there are different types of abstract appropriate for different types of studies.
a) Descriptive abstract – This type of abstract describes the research without passing a judgement about the outcomes.
b) Informative abstract– This type of abstract provides an explanation about the thesis, results and the evidence that supports the findings.
Different journals and Universities follow different guidelines. Make sure your abstract includes whatever is asked for by the Universities/ journals. Check if the journal/ University is demanding a structured abstract or just a paragraph. A structured abstract contains subheadings and separate paragraphs for each elements, such as background, method, results, and conclusions.
It must always be possible to quickly review the abstract. Hence in general, an abstract should be between 200 and 250 words on total ( 5% of the entire thesis).
A title must be catchy and should be able to grasp readers attention. A title should convey something about your subject and reason behind your research as concisely and clearly as possible. Focus on what will be investigated and how it will it be done.
Tip: Do not repeat the title in the abstract as there is word limit and you will need space to enter details of your research in abstract.
Briefly mention the methods you followed to obtain the solution for the research problem. Also include the results and a brief summary of your conclusions.
Upon completion of the entire thesis, review and update the abstract. As you write your thesis, your views may change and it may be necessary to change the abstract to reflect your viewpoint.
Most of the time, a reader judges your thesis based on your abstract. You never get a second chance to make a great first impression. Hence, no matter what type of abstract you are writing: Descriptive or informative, make sure you have incorporated meaningful and powerful words, the research idea are clear and is completed in the shortest possible amount of space.

Q: Как составить регулярное выражение для preg_replace, чтобы любой абзац без тегов обернуть в теги? Вот пример текста:
Каждый веб-разработчик знает, что такое текст-«рыба». Текст этот, несмотря на название, не имеет никакого отношения к обитателям водоемов. Используется он веб-дизайнерами для вставки на интернет-страницы и демонстрации внешнего вида контента, просмотра шрифтов, абзацев, отступов и т.д.

Конечно, возникают некоторые вопросы.

Самым известным «рыбным» текстом является знаменитый Lorem ipsum. Считается, что впервые его применили в книгопечатании еще в XVI веке. Своим появлением Lorem ipsum обязан древнеримскому философу Цицерону, ведь именно из его трактата «О пределах добра и зла» средневековый книгопечатник вырвал отдельные фразы и слова, получив текст-«рыбу», широко используемый и по сей день.

И даже с языками, использующими латинский алфавит, могут возникнуть небольшие проблемы: в различных языках те или иные буквы встречаются с разной частотой, имеется разница в длине наиболее распространенных слов.

Я написал такую регулярку:
^
.*<\/h3>$

Но она цепляет все заголовки 3 уровня. Если добавить в начало символ "!", то тогда вообще ни чего не будет. Вот ссылка на regex101.

A: Можно попробовать регулярное выражение ^\s*([^<][^\r\n]+)$ - оно выделит все строки, которые начинаются не с символа <, игнорируя пробелы в начале. Далее останется лишь заменить текст, например, на
$1
. $1 здесь - это первая (индексация здесь идет с единицы) группа, "пойманная" регулярным выражением в круглые скобки. Т.е. строка символов, не начанающаяся с <

About GRACE
Eighteen-year-old GRACE is one of the hottest pop-soul prospects this year. Hailing from Brisbane, Australia with UK roots, GRACE grew up where the sounds of Smokey Robinson to Janis Joplin, and Shirley Bassey to Amy Winehouse, filled her home and fueled her soul. With a strong musical heritage (her grandparents toured with the Gibb brothers), GRACE has developed a raw, throaty, soulful sound whose emotional timbre belies her tender years. It's easy to understand how that style was developed when she name-checks her biggest influences as Shirley Bassey, Minnie Riperton, Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin and Michael Jackson just to name a few.

How are media buyers planning for a winter World Cup?
Brand Impact Send an email July 25, 2022
With the Fifa World Cup taking place in winter this year on account of the extreme heat in host country Qatar, there are dozens of implications for media buyers who (in the west at least) will simultaneously be plotting Christmas campaigns. As part of The Drum's Sports Marketing Deep Dive, we explore how the moved tournament is kicking up a media sandstorm.
For decades, the World Cup has drawn some of the largest linear TV audiences, both in the UK media and beyond. But with the schedule change this year, there's a conundrum for marketers who now need to plan for a World Cup that could be charitably called controversial and uncharitably called a brand safety risk, while at the same time considering Christmas, Black Friday and back-to-school campaigns.
Speaking to The Drum on the TV Talks podcast, Mark Trinder, sales director at ITV, reflects on the absence of the tournament in the summer as a commercial broadcaster, saying: "A Euros or a World Cup for four weeks in the middle of the summer is literally like an island in the ocean. You can isolate it and wrap around it."
How marketers are planning media around the Qatar World Cup
Thankfully for ITV, it has Love Island in its ocean, which has been pulling large audiences for the broadcaster this summer, but does Trinder think a Christmas ad campaign can really merge with a problematic desert World Cup? "You can't put all those tactics together without breaking any codes or constants," he says, but he has seen brands develop creative that could feasibly click.
One thing that's for sure, he says, is that audiences will turn up despite the wider debates around the tournament. "If you're looking at your window at 4pm into the pitch black, you'll probably prefer to watch an amazing game from Qatar – it's going to feel so different [from a summer World Cup]." And if workforces are still remote this winter, there's nothing to stop them from watching every game (10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm in the UK) from their desk.
In the UK, broadcasting is split between commercial broadcasters ITV and the BBC, which literally draw lots, each with different objectives. Trinder says: "We are going to competitively schedule. We will be putting something on for a broader audience against those games."
The advertisers' perspective
Yatin Patel, head of AV at Publicis Media Exchange (PMX), points out that advertisers will be able to buy TV spots across linear and live streaming on the ITV hub, hitting millions of people at once. "This is an opportunity on TV we have never seen before on this scale."
He sees the World Cup bringing less of a revenue lift for broadcasters than if it was in that isolated summer "island" Trinder previously mentioned, with the usual World Cup £30m-£50m broadcaster bump expected to total £15m-£30m instead.
Some clients are pursuing normal winter activity, some are getting more heavily involved with the football and a final few are keen to rethink their balances across linear TV and BVOD.
Patel adds: "The unknown is whether supply chain issues and rising costs will hamper clients' budgets between now and the time to commit to buying activity in the World Cup, but agencies will have a better idea by the beginning of September when the official ITV advanced booking deadline passes."
Meanwhile, he's "not aware of any clients that are looking to avoid advertising around the tournament" – but that could change. He predicts that the tournament will deflate the cost marketers need to pay for male-skewed TV audiences – we know many will be watching the best football the world has to offer.
Richard Kirk, chief strategy officer at Zenith, noted during Euro 2020 (in 2021) that the tournament offers "cost-effective reach". In the UK, the match represents some of the most "reliable moments", he says, at a time when moments where you can hit 10 million people with the same message are "vanishing" in linear.
Another point is around targeting. Brands like to reach "decision makers" in households at Christmas, which in many households still tend to be women. Outside of home nation games, the World Cup viewership will skew dominantly male. "There's quite a lot of demand for some of the programming that's going to be non-football at these times because, if the logic follows through, those programs could deliver quite a lot of female viewing."
Agencies should see challenges and opportunities in latest IPA Bellwether
It stands to reason that ITV and BBC could compete with each other for audience in this manner. Why battle for the same audience when you could split a household over control of the remote? Obviously, these insights aren't quite as set in stone as they once were, but statistically still hold true.
Meanwhile, it seems brands are quite comfortable buying advertising packages around the tournament. They're not worried any negative associations will rub off and are confident viewers know the ads support the broadcasters. Some brands might even make use of a TVC to speak out against Qatari policy, with on-the-ground guerilla action ill-advised.
He concludes that the tournament also overlaps Black Friday and Cyber Monday – and with shoppable media maturing and digital viewership increasing, he could see some interesting direct response ads appearing.
Lee Mabey, the DEI lead of media and managing partner of Dentsu X, adds: "Let's make one thing clear. Despite the protestations, Qatar 2022 will be going ahead. Marketers need to consider the ethics of spending around the tournament, but this is not new territory. There are myriad examples of global sporting events hosted by countries with poor human rights records.
"The World Cup now falls in the 'golden quarter' and will only amplify the peak winter TV schedule. Almost 24 million people watched England's historic victory against Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-finals and a combined 29.85 million watched the final. Should England have similar success, we could expect similar viewing levels again. Will brands really want to miss out on those audiences? I do not think so."
