The Night That Unites
Includes the full traditional Passover Haggadah text in Hebrew with a translation and commentary in English.
The philosophies of three major Jewish personalities lie at the heart of this Haggadah.
Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, and Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach believed that the Jewish people have a critical role to play in demonstrating and sharing a unique way of life with the world.
As Jews, we share in the universal historical experience of mankind and therefore must contribute to the benefit of all humanity.
The artwork on the cover of this Haggadah depicts three concentric circles of human endeavor as uniquely taught by these spiritual giants, moving outward from the individual to the collective whole.
At the center lies the importance of the individual. Each Jew is to forge his or her path and engage in a life dedicated to the ideals and mitzvot of the Torah.
Second, beyond our individual concerns, we are also called on to develop and thrive as a nation.
Finally, there is a third sphere which takes us beyond our individual and national concerns; we are called upon to take a unique place in inspiring the world, praying for, and working towards the Redemption of all mankind.
Offering a fresh and original look at the Seder night, this Passover Haggadah is a unique compilation of the teachings of Rav Kook, Rabbi Soloveitchik, and Reb Carlebach.
Together with discussion questions and contemporary insights, this Haggadah powerfully engages the reader on the most compelling and memorable night of the year - The Night That Unites.

10 Conversations
Why do I have to repeat everything?
Why does every conversation end in an argument?
Communicating with our children. Conversing. Connecting.
When did it become so difficult? And how do we begin to change it for the better?
This book was designed to help parents answer these important questions, and it is based on two fundamental ideas:
The first is that there are no bad children, and no deliberately bad parents -- but that sometimes, despite the best of intentions on both sides, there can be bad relationships between parents and children.
The second is that, as parents, we must do everything we can to save those relationships, to reach out and really communicate with our children, because it is only through talking to them that we can create an environment for inspiration and change.
In this compelling book, Shmuley Boteach, passionate social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, walks you through the critical conversations, including: cherishing childhood; developing intellectual curiosity; knowing who you are and what you want to become; learning to forgive; realizing the importance of family and tradition; being fearless and courageous.
As a father of eight, Rabbi Shmuley speaks from a wealth of experience. He has written a book for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers, who are just beginning to become aware of the world around them, to adolescents, who must learn to navigate all sorts of tricky social and academic pressures.
10 Conversations will help you stay connected to your children so that they develop the kind of strong moral character that leads to rich, meaningful lives.

Q: Ubuntu Server 14.04 - RAID5 created with mdadm disappears after reboot This is my first question on superuser, so if I forgot to mention something, please ask.
I'm trying to set up a home server which will be used as file server and media server. I installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 and now I'm trying to set up a Raid5 consisting of a total of 5 disks, using mdadm. After the raid has been created, I am able to use it and I can also access the Raid from other PCs. After rebooting the server, the Raid does not show up anymore. I have also not been able to assemble the raid.
I have done the following steps:
Create the RAID
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sda /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf

After the RAID has been completed (watch cat /proc/mdstat), I store the RAID configurations
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

Then I removed some parts of the entry in mdadm.conf. The resulting file looks as follows:
# mdadm.conf
#
# Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file.
#

# by default (built-in), scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) and all
# containers for MD superblocks. alternatively, specify devices to scan, using
# wildcards if desired.
#DEVICE partitions containers
#DEVICE partitions

# auto-create devices with Debian standard permissions
CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes

# automatically tag new arrays as belonging to the local system
HOMEHOST <system>

# instruct the monitoring daemon where to send mail alerts
MAILADDR root

# definitions of existing MD arrays

# This file was auto-generated on Fri, 14 Mar 2014 23:38:10 +0100
# by mkconf $Id$
ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=b73a8b66:0681239e:2c1dd406:4907f892

A check if the RAID is working (mdadm --detail /dev/md0) returns the following:
/dev/md0:
Version : 1.2
Creation Time : Sat Apr 19 15:49:03 2014
Raid Level : raid5
Array Size : 7813531648 (7451.56 GiB 8001.06 GB)
Used Dev Size : 1953382912 (1862.89 GiB 2000.26 GB)

5       8       80        4      active sync   /dev/sdf

As far as I can tell, this all looks good. In a next step I created the file system:
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/md0

This results in the following output:
mke2fs 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
Filesystem label=

Allocating group tables: done
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (32768 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

Then I changed to fstab by adding the following entry at the end of the file:
/dev/md0    /data    ext4    defaults,nobootwait,no fail     0    2

After mounting the RAID (mount -a) I then could use it, create files, access it from other PCs...
Now comes the problem:
After rebooting the server (reboot now), the RAID does not exist anymore, i.e.
 - No /dev/md0
 - empty /proc/mdstat (besides the Personalities)
 - df -h does not show the raid
 - mdadm --assemble --scan does not do anything
Does anyone have any suggestions? Did I do something wrong?

A: Sounds like you forgot one step - telling initramfs to load your array on boot. All your steps were correct and in chronological order, but it sounds like you missed that final step. But given the fact I dunno what your server's current status is, I suggest you try the following:
Boot up and type
mdadm --detail --scan

Do you see anything? If so, your array is there and it should work (i.e. solution below prolly won't help). I'm guessing when you reboot, you are not seeing your RAID drive at all. If that is true,
Make sure MDADM daemon is running ps aux | grep mdadm
This will show you if any MDADM processes are running (if you see no result, start MDADM)

*Make sure array is mounted mount -a

*Update initramfs update-initramfs -u

*Verify MDADM is not running a sync or rebuild  watch cat /proc/mdstat
If there's anything processing, let it finish first lest you screw up your array
Reboot and test

A: Solved the issue on my machine by using partitions rather than raw drives.
So instead of
 mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sda /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf

it would be
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1

Make sure you set the raid flag(I used gparted) on each partition. My understanding is this allows the mdadm demon to see the partitions and reinitialize the array on boot up.

A: My RAID disk also didn't mount after reboot. However, I noticed from the dmesg that after the reboot the /dev/md0 had been named as /deb/md127. I fixed the fstab accordingly, which fixed the problem.

A: The mdadm can be assembled with
mdadm --assemble --verbose /dev/md0
after reboot. I think there is something broken in the early stages of boot sequence.

Around the world and across a variety of industries, more and more HVACR devices are coming 'online' and organisations are more and more frequently moving away from the 'set and forget' models of energy infrastructure that have dominated in the HVACR industries for decades.
The Cold Chain is the name given to the refrigerated supply chain required for moving perishable goods – food and medical products primarily – from production or field to market and consumption. For food, this includes the processing, transportation, storage, and sale/display of products before they reach the end consumer. Without the cold chain, perishable goods can only be transported and sold as far as they can travel without spoiling or developing harmful bacteria.
A wireless mesh network is one that is made up of separate inter-connected nodes that organise to form a communicating mesh topology through radio. In control and monitoring infrastructure, nodes are made up of adapters, interface modules, sensors and access points, which in turn enable devices to connect to each other and the World Wide Web, if desired. Nodes can be fixed or mobile, providing a diverse range of applications.
The DMTouch from Resource Data Management comes with a host of energy saving and management features built in and additional advanced features available as an option. For building management projects the DMTouch can be configured to monitor metered consumables like water, gas, and electricity. We also offer several energy savings features for temperature control applications, and a DMTouch can have a range of these options activated simultaneously.

As-Salamu `Alaykum. Is it unlawful in Islam to entertain children at the Islamic center with a "magic show"?
Magic shows that are done for entertainment purposes are not considered part of prohibited magic or sihr. Such form of play that is meant to entertain children is permissible. However, it is the duty of parents to teach their children not to be deceived by illusions that are done by some people who may use the sleight of their hands and make them believe that they control supernatural powers.
"The word "magic" has many definitions in English language. It could mean 'black magic' which may include sorcery, amulets, talismans, potions, charms, spells exorcism etc. But it could also mean just a sleight of hands used for entertainment. The "magic shows" generally belong to this last category and I do not think doing such acts for the purpose of entertainment is haram or makruh in Islam.
Islam forbids sihr and in the Qur'an and Hadith it is very strongly condemned. In the Qur'an the word sihr occurs in more than sixty places. Sometimes it is mentioned that the non-believers abused Allah's Prophets and called their miracles or effective words as sihr or magic. But there was a big difference between the Prophets' miracles and magic.
The Qur'an refers to the character of the Prophets and to the purity of their message and says that this cannot be called magic and the Prophets of Allah cannot be called magicians.
Those who practiced sihr used to believe in some demonic powers and used to worship devils and evil sprits. They used to spend time in wilderness living with human and animal corpses or even practicing cannibalism. Sahirs (magicians) were often people of evil character who used to use their illusions to mislead people or to harm others. Sometimes the Sahirs used to make big claims of controlling the powers of the unseen world and in this way they used to exploit the simple people. Magic in this sense or sihr, witchcraft, oracles, palmistry, fortune telling etc. are all forbidden or haram in Islam.

Taxpayers are being warned to keep an eye out for potential scams this tax time, following a high alert over a fake myGov form circulating over emails.
This week, Stay Safe Online issued a high alert involving a fake myGov email promising taxpayers a tax refund, but instead is designed to steal personal and financial information.
"The email, which has the subject line 'Important information regarding your account', includes the myGov logo and claims to be from the myGov team," the warning said.
The ATO has responded by reminding everyone of the need to be vigilant as the regulators usually see a spike in scam activity at tax time.
According to Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson, over 37,000 scam attempts were reported to the ATO during tax time 2017.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission earlier said that almost $2.4 million worth of scams were reported to the tax office in 2017.
With tax scams an ongoing problem for both taxpayers and the regulators, the ATO has regularly sent out alerts over current scams, including scams that have potential to fool well-regarded professionals.
"The most common scam is still the 'fake tax debt' phone scam, but we're seeing an increase in 'fake refund' or 'refund for a fee' scams and in email and SMS scams enticing people to click a hyperlink, download a file or open an attachment," said Ms Anderson.
Assistant Commissioner Tim Roach also highlighted the need for tax and BAS agents to utilise the client communication list (CCL) function in the tax and BAS agents portals to view official communications issued to clients.

Given a real-world or programming problem, often if you find the right abstraction to model it you can make the problem vastly simpler and/or make your software vastly higher quality.
Therefore, solving a problem well should involve trying to find the best abstraction possible.
Programming languages influence your thought processes to match what they offer.
"if you see enough nails everything starts to look like a hammer".
See: Sapir Whorf hypothesis and Paul Graham: Succinctness is Power.
\** One useful corollary to the idea that different paradigms are good for different applications is the common wisdom about optimal applications for functional and object-oriented programming. Functional languages are often said to be good for problems which resemble computation, with a defined input and output (like compilers). OOP languages are said to be good for problems where you model the natural world as objects. Lisp, of course, lets you choose between object-oriented and functional programming, and lets you implement entire new language structures within the language itself to extend the language to support most any paradigm you can think of.

I know these directions are a bit sketchy, for now I am just writing down what I remember from the process. I will test these instructions on a fresh box soon.
Install SDL. Download SDL for mingw, ignore the install directions. Instead copy things into your c:/mingw directory.
Install glew. download sources and compile with msys. then copy into appropriate directories (dlls go in C:\Windows\SysWOW64").

with the exception of poor data-structure initializers.
Java's static typing provides an excellent source of computer-checked, always up-to-date documentation.
Code should be, to a reasonable extend, self-documenting to a proficient programmer with reasonable command of the basic platform/ language. Dependency on libraries/frameworks can either help or hinder this goal.
If the usage of the library is clearly obvious from how the library is used in the program, then the program is still self-documenting.
On the other hand, if the library/framework requires extensive knowledge about it in order to understand its usage, then the code has become NOT self-documenting. If support for the library is ever dropped, you may regret your dependency on its arcane format.

The difference between the right abstraction and the wrong abstraction is a huge difference in simplicity and clarity.
bloatware reflects design-by-committee and sloppy thinking.
I believe that if something is ever good, in a complete sense, then it will always be good. Human nature does not change, and our core needs change very little. If a meal was good 2000 years ago in Jesus' time, I think we would still find it good today.
Is it possible to write good code? I think that if you target the right abstractions, then it most definitely is. And one example of this is the long-term success of the Netlib libraries, developed continuously for over 40 years as high quality linear algebra tools.

May is going to be quite the crazy month; with baby showers, press nights, tons of events at work, our baby moon and getting everything ready for baby girl. Man, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Which means that Fridays mean even more to me than ever!
So High Five! It's Friday!
1.) Tolar and I started taking our birth classes over the weekend and we had to pack lunches for the super quick lunch break. Thank you yummy fruit for making my day!
2.) This little bug is getting into everything and I love it! I actually get to see him tonight and I cannot wait to squeeze him.
3.) Tolar and JoJo play together quite often and just make me smile.
4.) I left a DC Metro Church card on a table at Dunkin Donuts. I hope whoever ended up with it was curious enough to at least check out the website and see what my amazing church is all about.
5.) This was my fortune with my Chinese food this week. I desperately needed to read this, especially as I've had a tough week and I am getting really nervous about labor and delivery.
So how was your week? I hope great!
I'm linking up with Lauren from Lauren Elizabeth for this High Five For Friday post.
You guys, Jessica over at Love and Loyally is one of my favorite people ever – I seriously need to meet this girl in real life (blogger problem, need to remedy). The girl has got quite the style and shares plenty of her outfits and inspiration on her blog. In fact, she hosts a really cool link up called Style Statement Tuesday, which yep, you guessed it happens every Tuesday. By selecting your style/style icon you can now think according to your identified taste and it helps you narrow down your options when shopping (her awesome words!). And Jessica creates some seriously awesome outfits to fit her Classic Pretty style (and yes, I think she is quite classic pretty don't you?).
Outside of Style Statement Tuesday, Jessica also shares other fashion posts that really help give you an idea of some pieces you might need during each season. Take this post for her Spring favorites under $50 – such a neat idea. Trends come and go, so it makes perfect sense to not drop a ton of money on these fleeting items. I love the items Jessica chose to feature for Spring. I also love her parting sentence, but you have to click the link to find out – she's a girl after my own heart.
And speaking of her crazy sense of humor, you best get your pretty little butts over to this post right now where Jessica talks about her awkward teenage years. We all had them, so this is a very relatable post. Man, I so wish I could burn every picture and memory of me from grades 6-9 because I seriously was a hot mess. Jessica is BRAVE for posting her awkward photos and I just adore her sense of humor that goes along with this post.
So if you are looking for a blog that makes you laugh, smile, gives you some fashion inspiration and just overall feels like a great way to spend your time, then look no further than Love and Loyally. This blog is where its at!
Visiting from High Five For Friday. I'd like to invite you to my Friday Flash Blog, where you can share your best blog entry of the week! The party goes on ALL weekend at thejennyevolution.com. And who knows, you may just get featured next week.
aw, i love getting uplifting fortunes, and that's a good one! sometimes they are so bad...once i got "you enjoy athletic activities" three cookies in a row. ???
Your little nephew is just the sweetest! That's so exciting that you're starting birthing classes... time is flying by!

Breaking Down The Redskins' 2019 Schedule
by Jake Kring-Schreifels & Ryan Fowler
On Wednesday evening, the NFL released the regular season schedule for 2019 and the Washington Redskins have a slate that features two prime-time games, starting with a Monday night matchup with the Bears and finishing with a Thursday night reunion with Kirk Cousins in Minnesota.
Washington starts out the season in Philadelphia and hosts the Cowboys for the home opener, while the season concludes with three consecutive games against division rivals.
As we continue to break down the 2019 schedule, here's some matchups and tidbits to look for all 16 games:
Week 1, at Philadelphia
For the past two seasons, the Redskins have played nationally televised games against the Eagles on the road. Not this year.
Lincoln Financial Field is never an easy environment to play in, but the 1 p.m. start time should take off some of the sting of a hostile environment to start the season. The victors of Super Bowl LII are now without their Super Bowl MVP quarterback Nick Foles. They will look for 2016 second-overall selection quarterback Carson Wentz to produce for a full season.
After an injury-riddled start to his career, Wentz will now lead Philadelphia as their unquestioned signal-caller. The Eagles have been active this offseason, bringing back speedster DeSean Jackson to the city of brotherly love. The Eagles additionally boosted their backfield after trading for former Bears running back Jordan Howard.
Week 2, vs. Dallas Cowboys
Quite the home opener.
Splitting the series in 2018, Washington and Dallas will meet for their 119th and 120th matchups starting at FedExField.
The Cowboys tout one of the more agile and productive offensive lines to date, helping to protect Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott. With the addition of former Green Bay target in the versatile Randall Cobb, Dallas adds to a receiving core that includes Amari Cooper, whom they traded for prior to the trade deadline in 2018.
Last season the Redskins defended home turf against Dallas, which clanked what would have been a game-tying field goal off the goal post.
Week 3, vs. Chicago Bears
The first ever Monday night matchup between the Redskins and Bears will take place at FedExField.
Under second year head coach Matt Nagy, the Bears won the NFC North in 2018, finishing with a 12-4 record. After the addition of defensive end Khalil Mack, the Bears defense went on to lead the NFL in takeaways (31), rushing yards allowed (1,280), and points allowed (283).
The Redskins are winners of their past seven against the Bears, and 13 of the last 15. Washington is 26-23-1 all-time against Chicago, and 7-2 at FedExField. In their most recent meeting, a 41-21 Redskins win, the burgundy and gold jumped out to an early 17-0 lead before sealing the game on a 61-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter by running back Mack Brown, earning the Redskins their eighth win of the season.

Washington will square off twice with its division rival in 2019, but their counterparts will be without the services of wideout Odell Beckham Jr. The perennial Pro-Bowler is now a Cleveland Brown, but the Redskins will have another Giant weapon included in their game plan: second-year, reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year running back Saquon Barkley.
The Redskins held Barkley to just 38 yards rushing in the team's 20-13 Week 8 win in the Meadowlands, but he proved worthy of his second-overall selection rushing for 170 yards and a touchdown in early December at FedExField.
This game will also be a homecoming for the Redskins' All-Pro safety Landon Collins, the Redskins' prize offseason signing who will look to not only shut down Barkley, but long-standing New York signal caller Eli Manning.
Washington and New York have split the last four season series, with the Redskins victors in four of the last seven.
Week 5, vs. New England Patriots
The victors of Super Bowl LIII will visit FedExField for the first time since 2011 anchored by long-standing head coach Bill Belichick and six-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady, entering his 20th season. They won't see tight end Rob Gronkowski, who retired in the offseason.
Washington leads the all-time series 6-4 and the series is split 1-1 at FedExField. The matchup will mark the return of former Redskins wideout Maurice Harris, after spending three years in the burgundy and gold.
Week 6, at Miami Dolphins
While no matchup in the near future will amount to the Redskins' Super Bowl XVII victory over the Dolphins in 1983, Washington and Miami have continued to produce nail-biting action in the past 25-plus years. In fact, all six games played between the two franchises since 1993 have been decided by 11 points or fewer, with one of those games resulting in a Redskins overtime win in 2007 (16-13).
Under center for Miami will likely be newly-signed journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick, taking over for Ryan Tannehill, whose seven-year career as a Dolphin was laced with injuries and limited success after Miami selected him eighth-overall in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Miami will also debut Brian Flores, their new head coach who spent 15 seasons in multiple roles with the New England Patiots before taking the job in South Florida.
Week 7, vs. San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco travels to FedExField for the second time in three seasons, and the fifth time since 2005.
In their last meeting, a Redskins 26-24 win, current wide receiver Josh Doctson and Samaje Perine both caught touchdown passes and cornerback Quinton Dunbar led the defense with eight tackles (six solo), his career high in one game.
Week 8, at Minnesota Vikings
One year after his departure from the nation's capital, former Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins faces his former team for the first time at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. It will also be the first time Case Keenum returns there after his miracle touchdown throw to Stefon Diggs that advanced the Vikings to the NFC Championship game.
The two teams are accustomed to seeing each other on the schedule, as the matchup marks the eighth meeting in the last 10 seasons and 26th overall.
In their most recent matchup in 2017, Case Keenum, Minnesota's quarterback at the time, led the Vikings into FedExField for a barnburner that saw 68 total points put up on the scoreboard, ultimately ending in a Vikings win. On the day, Keenum recorded 304 yards passing, adding four touchdown passes on his way to a 117.0 passer rating.
Week 9, at Buffalo Bills
The Redskins will travel to Buffalo for the first time since 2011 in what could be an old-fashioned "ground-and-pound" matchup if weather disagrees. The two teams have a longstanding history dating back to Super Bowl XXVI, where the Joe Gibbs-led Redskins defeated the Bills 37-24 after Mark Rypien accumulated 292 yards through the air, adding two passing touchdowns on his way to earning Super Bowl MVP honors.
In their most recent matchup in 2015, Washington built on a 21-0 halftime lead for a 35-25 victory. Jordan Reed led all Redskins pass catchers on the day after recording seven catches for 84 yards and two touchdowns.
The Bills are led under center by second-year quarterback Josh Allen, who looks to build off of a Week 17 performance in 2018 where he displayed the talents that earned him his second-overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft by scoring five total touchdowns (three pass, two rush). The career day led to Allen's selection of AFC's Offensive Player of the Week Award.
Week 10, Bye
Week 11, vs. New York Jets
After acquiring franchise quarterback Sam Darnold in last year's draft, the new look Jets fly into the nations' capital with a new weapon in former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell.
Newly hired head coach Adam Gase will look to right the ship after three consecutive losing seasons in New York. The Redskins could potentially look to attack a Jets rushing defense that allowed the seventh most rushing yards from scrimmage during the 2018 campaign with the return of 1,000-yard rusher Adrian Peterson and a healthy Derrius Guice.
Week 12, vs. Detroit Lions
After hosting four of the last five matchups at Ford Field in Detroit, the Lions make their way to FedExField for the first time since 2013, and the second time in almost two decades.
Former Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will look to improve on a disappointing first campaign as head coach in the motor city, after finishing in fourth place in the NFC North in 2018.
The matchup will mark the 45th meeting between the two teams, with the Redskins leading the all-time series 30-14.
Week 13, at Carolina Panthers
Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Christian McCaffrey, the list goes on. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera enters his ninth season at the helm led by those household names.
The matchup marks the second meeting in as many seasons, with Washington earning the victory in a Week 6 clash in Charlotte, 23-17. Washington built a 14-0 lead on a touchdown pass from Alex Smith to Paul Richardson Jr., supplemented with the sure kicking of Dustin Hopkins (3/3 FG, 2/2 PAT) and the Redskins earned their third victory of the season, the first of three straight wins.
Week 14, at Green Bay Packers
Redskins will look to build off their recent success against their NFC-North counterparts, heading into the tundra to face two-time NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Washington will head to Lambeau Field looking for their third consecutive win over the Packers after defeating Green Bay 31-17 in Week 3 of the 2018 season, when running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns.
The Packers lead the all-time series 20-16-1, however the Redskins are 3-2 the last five matchups outscoring the Packers 145-109. This year's matchup will mark the 38th meeting between the two teams all-time. The teams first met at Braves Field in Boston in November 1932, where the Packers won 21-0 in the inaugural contest.
Week 15, vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Redskins dropped the season finale at FedExField to the Eagles last year, and will look to start a string of three straight division games on the right foot.
After winning five straight matchups from Week 16 in 2014 to Week 14 in 2016, the Redskins will look to build on their all-time series lead of 86-77-5, this time with playoff implications likely on the line.
Week 16, vs. New York Giants
Since the 2014 season, the Redskins and Giants have alternated wins and losses at FedExField. Should the pattern continue, Washington is in line for a victory on the penultimate Sunday of the season.
The Redskins suffered a tough 40-16 loss in early December in 2018, a game in which Josh Johnson subbed in for Mark Sanchez in the second half and sparked life into the offense, eventually leading the team the rest of the season.
Week 17, at Dallas Cowboys
The Redskins ended their last division championship season in 2015 with a trip to Dallas. By then, they had already clinched their ticket to the postseason and faced a Cowboys team led by Kellen Moore. Things have changed significantly in the last three years.
With Derrius Guice returning from injury and complementing 2018' 1,000-yard rusher Adrian Peterson, the Redskins and Cowboys rivalry looks primed again for NFC East smash-mouth, physical football. Like it has in the past, playoff berths could all come down to this final game.

Organisations And 'Virtous' Behaviour
Oct 22, 2020 in Business
The performance of any organisation is heavily dependent on its ability to nurture and uphold certain behavioural types. In fact, this is the reason why many organisations were aiming to promote their employees' behaviour towards the attainment of a 'virtuous behaviour'-based culture among all members present in the organisation. This action was well-placed since there is the need to appreciate that the identity of an organisation can make or break it. Therefore, the intention of the early organisations devising certain behavioural types among the employees was aimed at safeguarding the companies from crisis caused by the negative image presented to the public due to poor perceived reputation. In the same line of thought, organisations in the current era are still upholding this approach, whereby in every organisation, there are certain values that each and every employee and any other relevant party must uphold. The management is keen on identifying the values that the organisation is focused on and then making necessary realignments and communication that are aimed at ensuring their adoption by all parties. These values play a critical role in ensuring a smooth operation that upholds efficiency and the interest of the organisation. In order to support the idea that the culture of virtuous behaviour (organisation behaviour) is still present in organisations in the current era, this paper aims to analyse the importance of these behavioural types to the well-being of the organisations that have seen them remain relevant.
'Virtuous Behaviour'
Virtuous behaviour is the one that exhibits a high level of value integration, leading to adherence to the set rules and regulations. It is a behavioural type that is focused on conformity to the set guidelines as the only and expected way of behaving. Members who are under the set guidelines are coached and inducted to ensure total conformity since this is the only way the welfare of the organisation can be guaranteed. Accordingly, this is the reason why virtuous behaviour is referred to as righteous because when present, all the set rules are respected. It is out of these behaviours that organisation's culture is born when the expected level of conduct becomes heavily integrated with individuals constituting an organisation's workforce.
The Rationale Behind 'Virtuous Behaviour' Demand by Organisations
In the business world, the only way of guaranteeing the perpetuity of any business is through attaining a competitive edge in the area of operations. The primary reason the early organisations were demanding this level of behaviour from their employees was to ensure that there was cohesion among the employees, leading to a more productive workforce. When workers are aware of their expected level of behaviour, it becomes easier to delegate responsibility, leading to maximisation of time resource. Therefore, the demand directed towards the employees of the early organisation was a crucial element that ensured that there was order leading to an eventuality when all the parties were behaving in a manner that served best the interest of the organisation. Competition is even more severe in the current era, and the difference between success and failure can be a result of disharmony in the various undertakings taken by the organisation. The primary role of having strict values pegged in an organisation is the provision of direction and platform under which, as mentioned earlier, the interest of the organisation was served.
Moreover, there is the need to appreciate that the values determined in an organisation are formulated with due diligence. It is these values and norms that help an organisation maintain a high level of cohesion, efficiency and commitment variables common in all successful organisations. In addition, the values constituting the virtuous behaviour are all necessary components that ensure that an organisation serves in the best way possible its customers. It is, therefore, clear that the demands for employees to uphold virtuous behaviour are aimed at ensuring that the concerned organisations are able to maintain their competitiveness provided by cohesion within the establishment.
Reasons for the Relevance of Organisation Behaviour Demands over the Years
Virtuous behaviour demand in various organisations has remained a constant phenomenon that was and continues to be relevant over the years. The main reason why this behaviour was perceived as virtuous is because during the early centuries, the dominant norm was liberalism and the demand prevailing in the organisations was conformity that saw different people behave in the same manner. In the modern organisation, 'virtuous behaviour' is what is known as organisation behaviour or culture. In fact, this is a situation when there is mutual behaviour of people working in the same organisation. A point to appreciate is the fact that each organisation has its unique culture/behaviour that all employees are supposed to follow. Sometimes, it is perceived as organisation's codes of conduct that all employees should comply with while in and sometimes even outside the organisation.

Relevance Capability over the Years
One of the reasons for the relevance of this behaviour is the fact that organisation's cultures form the basis of how it is perceived by the public. When the general public interacts with employees, it is possible to identify the value upheld by them through employee's service. The perception taken by the customer is passed to the public, and if the experience is positive, the concerned customer works as a marketing tool whereby positive information is transmitted. On the contrary, if the experience is negative, the organisation's image will be highly dented, leading to the loss of customers. To counter the latter, the set rules of customer engagement ensure that all employees can meet at any time the expectations of the concerned customer. As a result, the organisation can attract more new customers in addition to retaining its active customers.
Another crucial trait that organisations demand is a specific way of conduct because these behavioural types safeguard the perpetuity of the concerned organisations. By having employees behave in a specific manner, it becomes possible to control them, making them meet their expected responsibilities within the organisation. Organisation behaviour is aimed at ensuring that the interest of the organisation is met, and this objective is heavily attained through the employees' adherence to the set rules constituting the organisation's culture. Apparently, this is the major reason why organisation behaviour is still being agitated for over the years. When employees are under the same level of behaviour, policy actualisation becomes easier since each employee can be trusted to meet the set goals. Moreover, it becomes easier to identify problems in the manner through which the organisation operations are conducted as the employees' input can be estimated as they all follow the set rules. As a result, self-evaluation by the organisation becomes a lesser cumbersome undertaking. Furthermore, the organisation continues to demand particular conduct of the employees as this provides a strong brand for the company, particularly for organisations in the service industry.
Organisation Behaviour as a Competitive Tool
In many organisations, one of the reasons for demanding a unique manner of behaviour is to ensure that an organisation's aim is to enjoy the benefit of remaining competitive in the industry. Upholding what the organisation perceived as ideal behaviour type ensures that operations meet their set qualities. With all relevant resources availed, having employees behaving in an expected manner provides a more competitive edge for the organisation as timeliness and quality are guaranteed. The reason is that the aim of formulating organisation behaviour is to enhance individual's output, leading to improved performance, thereby enabling the organisation remain competitive in the industry. There is also a strong brand that comes as a result of a well-behaved workforce. Accordingly, high-quality products, their timely delivery and relevant after-sales services as stipulated in the outlined set of acceptable behaviour all work to improve the organisation's brand. A strong brand is as good as any another diligence-based investment and provides high competitive advantage for the organisation. Competition is ever-increasing due to improved accessibility of capital, leading to an influx of alternative organisations finding their way into the market. Having a strong brand is helpful in improving the differentiation capability of the organisation within any market.
Efficiency is a phenomenon best served through teamwork that can only be efficient if all individuals of the team follow the stipulated regulations. Therefore, having well-articulated organisation behaviour improves the probability of employees working together as one team, leading to improved workforce output that in turn enhances the efficiency of an organisation. The ripple effect is reduced cost of operation leading to low unit cost, and the organisation can quote a more pocket-friendly price in the market, making it more competitive in the market. (Improved efficiency = low cost of operation = low unit cost = low end user price). In addition, organisation behaviour provides clarity regarding the hierarchy of power within the organisation, leading to improved self-awareness among the employees that ensures the improved delegation. With employees aware of their responsibilities and their senior management, it becomes easier to maintain order within the organisation. It also becomes simpler to minimise the element of duplicative tasks since the employees' duties are explained in the hierarchy system. Thus, this ensures clarity of duties among employees and improved supervisory job by the management. As a result, all relevant parties are clearly aware of their responsibilities, leading to an improved level of output.
Organisation Behaviour and Code of Ethics
It is through organisation behaviour that expected way of conduct can be quantified and audited. The set rules and regulations that shape the conduct of employees within an organisation forms the basis of what can be termed as ethical or unethical in alignment with set industrial guidelines. Moreover, it is through the specifics within organisation behaviour that various conducts can be analysed and corrected if they do not meet the expected level of adherence. As a result, professionalism is highly upheld within the organisation, leading to sustained sobriety. It is also through organisation behaviour that various ethics are derived that constitute what the concerned organisation works towards sustaining in their line of operation. With the help of demands by the expected organisation behaviour, an organisation can shape its employees' behaviour to be in line with the industrial policy demands. The result is that there are minimised conflicts to no conflict between the authority governing the industry and the concerned organisation, thereby guaranteeing smooth operations.
Organisation Behaviour and Culture of Motivation
In organisations, organisation behaviour/culture containing a rewarding system acts a motivation avenue to the employees. In fact, this is when the behavioural types being agitated for are performance-centred when certain specific targets are predetermined and the employees have to meet them. Those who meet their set targets are rewarded, while those who fail to meet their goals are subjected to the set punishment. As a result, this type of organisation behaviour presents a platform under which employees can be influenced to adopt behaviours that will help them realign better in order to meet the set goals. Moreover, this type of behaviour can act as a form of motivation when employees are recognised for their positive input in the organisation. From this point of view, organisation behaviour can be used to influence the performance of individuals within the organisation through motivating them to achieve goals.
Through the above roles organisation behaviour can play within an organisation, one can appreciate the reason this phenomenon has existed within the business industry over the centuries. It is through organisation behaviour that organisations remain in the market tackling increasing competition within their respective industry year in, year out. Moreover, it is through organisation's accepted level of behaviour that the organisation is able to implement policies in the desired manner, thereby yielding desired results. With the modern organisation facing even more stiff competition, organisation behaviour remains a crucial variable that works in order to enhance their capability to meet the market demand despite the changing dynamics that are sometimes unpredictable. Thus, organisation behaviour is and will continue to remain one of the critical assets of organisations.
It is evident that virtuous behaviour in the early centuries and the organisation behaviour in modern organisations are clearly vital components ensuring the well-being of organisations. It is also clear that through this type of behaviour, organisations are better placed to meet their expectations in terms of performance. There is a clear picture that it is through organisation behaviour that each organisation is able to present itself as a unique component of the larger market. It is also evident that organisation behaviour can be utilised as a tool for improving the competitive edge of a given organisation through improved individual and team performance. Furthermore, it is evident that as in the early century, modern organisations still utilise organisation behaviour as a crucial tool of guaranteeing their perpetuity through a unique form of behaviour that these organisations employ in their respective markets.

La criomacerazione è una tecnica di vinificazione utilizzata in origine per vini bianchi di qualità ed in seguito applicata anche ad alcuni vini rossi.

Nel dettaglio è un processo immediatamente successivo alla pigiatura dell'uva, con diraspamento annesso, e antecedente la fermentazione: il mosto e le bucce restano a contatto per 12-24 ore, raffreddate ad una temperatura di 5-8 °C (più vicina ai 5 solitamente), per far sì che possano essere estratti gli aromi primari dell'uva presenti proprio nella parte interna della buccia. In questo modo si ottengono vini con profumi più intensi, fruttati e definiti. La bassa temperatura permette di non far partire la fermentazione alcolica e, al contempo, il contatto non troppo prolungato consente di estrarre poco tannino e un numero limitato di polifenoli: quindi poco colore, amaro e astringenza.

Utilizzo
Esistono due varianti della criomacerazione. La prima prevede che in fase antecedente la fermentazione si lasci, per circa 12 ore, il pigiato a una temperatura di 5 °C in modo che le bucce rimangano a contatto con il mosto (succo). La seconda, invece, si esegue facendo congelare (ad una temperatura di circa - 5 °C) le uve intere, per poi pressarle: questo consente l'estrazione di un mosto maggiormente ricco di zucchero. In realtà, questa seconda variante, più correttamente chiamata crioestrazione selettiva è una tecnica concettualmente diversa alla criomacerazione e comporta comunque costi notevoli.

Queste metodologie rispetto ala vinificazione tradizionale permettono di estrarre dall'uva più sostanze, che vanno ad arricchire le proprietà organolettiche del vino.

SA entrepreneurs respond to market gaps – survey
By Gabriella Mulligan on June 29, 2016 News, Southern Africa
South African entrepreneurs primarily launch startups in response to gaps in their own environment, but struggle to reach the scale of employing other people, according to the results of the Seed Academy Startup Survey.
Disrupt Africa reported in March Seed Academy launched the section edition of its South African startup survey, aimed at obtaining a picture of the country's startup sector and the challenges it faces.
This year, startups were offered the chance to win prizes in return for completing the survey; resulting in nearly 1,500 South African entrepreneurs responding to the survey.
The survey results released today found that nearly 50 per cent of respondents said they launched a startup based on an idea that came to them from the environment in which they live, work and play.
Only four per cent of respondents started a business because they were unable to find a job.
This statistic is mirrored by the fact the survey found startups do not perform well in terms of job creation, with only four per cent of respondents able to employ more than 10 staff; while 38 per cent of entrepreneurs said they do not employ anyone.
"Job creation should be a key outcome of entrepreneurial activity, yet a large portion of our entrepreneurs have no employees," said Donna Rachelson, chief executive officer (CEO) of Seed Academy.
The Startup Survey also revealed businesses are taking a long time to gain traction, with some respondents owning businesses five years and older but still not making sales.
The majority of survey respondents – 59 per cent – reported being sole founders; while the demographic breakdown of entrepreneurs displays disparity as compared to South Africa's population.
"Female entrepreneurs remain in the minority and that the ethnic footprint of entrepreneurs does not mirror SA's demographics – black startup entrepreneurs are underrepresented," Seed Academy reports.
Responding to the survey results, Rachelson recommends entrepreneurs starting a new business to do so in parallel with full time employment; and she also advocates for more internships at startups and small businesses.
" […] with 50 per cent of South Africa's youth […] currently unemployed, there is a dire shortage of opportunities for them to gain work experience. Innovative ways to provide our young people with work experience need to be found. To develop skills and business acumen, we should be considering interventions such as entrepreneur shadowing or on-the-job training at an SME," says Rachelson.

Narrative Scenario: Analysis-Paralysis
An narrative scenario for equal forces from 75 to 150 points.
A Ghar transport has broken up on re-entry into a newly discovered and unexplored planet. Unfortunately, the transport was known to have been infested with Virai. It is vital the civilised nations of Antares discover whether or not the Virai survived the re-entry: if they did, then the system needs to be interdicted and the planet 'cleansed' before they gain a foothold?
Normally, such scans would be performed from low orbit, but the planet has an atrocious, radioactive atmosphere that is interfering with long-range scans: as ever, ground troops have to take up the slack! Your forces have been dropped a short distance away from the crashed debris and have had to race to the site in order to examine the debris and analyse it to extract or record the datacores for analysis, to see where the Virai have been.* As is often the case, you cannot trust your opponent to deal fairly with you – they may well hide the fact that the Virai were previously in one of your own star systems!
*Of course, a Virai force will want whatever they can find in the datacores: First Instances are always hungry for more recorded experiences!
Three objective markers are needed for this game. The damaged Virai that came free with the V1 Dronescourge supplement are ideal, but crashed or damaged cargo crates are just as good.
You will also need a way of recording the amount of data analysed at each crashed objective: analysis points are accumulated throughout the game. Pen and paper will do but we also use simple counters, given to a force when it gains an analysis point.
Each army has an equal point force from 75 to 150 points. Smaller games can be played but end up being heavily biased towards those forces with many small infantry squads.
Set up terrain in the standard manner as described in Playing the Game. Place three debris/cargo objectives as shown in the diagram below: one each 12″ in from the side table edges and 15″ in advance of each long table edge, and a central objective on the centreline. Having placed them, move the objectives D5″ in a random direction (roll a D10, half the result, and place the item in the direction indicated by the point on the dice).
Each force is deployed within 5″ of their base, long table edge.
Analysis Paralysis Setup and Deployment
The objective is for either side to analyse as many of the objectives as they can in as much detail as they can, represented by gaining the most analysis points (see below).
The game is played until six turns have elapsed. Then roll randomly to see if another turn is to be played, as described in Playing the Game, to see if any other objectives can be analysed.
Break points are ignored for this game.
Compare each sides analysis points. If both are equal to or below 5, then that is their final Victory Point total. Otherwise, subtract the same amount from each side's total to make both 5 or below (minimum 0) and record that as the VP total.
For example, if one side has 8 analysis points and the other only 2, subtract 3 from each total to reach 5 and -1. The actual VP result will be 5-0 as the minimum is zero.
Analysis points
Each turn an infantry or infantry command unit is in control of an objective (see Playing the Game for controlling objectives) it can analyse the contents by completing a Rally action. It is immediately issued with an analysis point.
Each objective can only grant a single analysis point per turn per army (it is possible for a Concord unit to Rally, gain an analysis point, be destroyed and then a Virai Constructor unit Run into the area and be overclocked into a Rally, but such a situation is unlikely for any other army). A unit can continue its analysis (in more depth) in subsequent turns by remaining in control of the objective, completing a Rally action and receiving another analysis point for the same objective.
The key to this game is to prevent your enemy analysing the objective nearest their own table edge. Unlike many other scenarios it deliberately does not have more VP for capturing an objective in your opponent's table half. It is easy to establish quick control over the objective nearest your own edge, and the central objective is often fought over, but stopping your opponent successfully analysing their closest objective really limits their options – and VPs!
The units performing the analysis tend to be very vulnerable, effectively paralysed whilst they carry out the analysis. This has given rise to the scenario title which also refers to a situation in computer systems analysis where too much analysis of a business process is performed, often giving rise to a feedback loop where nothing is actually achieved!

You might want to "stand" for this!
There are so many reasons to make the switch to a sit stand desk. I am going to point out just a couple of the major reasons why purchasing a Right Angle Products NewHeights sit stand desk is going to make a positive impact on your productivity.
Helps reduce certain health conditions!
According to the Mayo Clinic, "Researchers have linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health concerns, including obesity and metabolic syndrome — a cluster of conditions that includes increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels."
Activating certain muscles while standing can help with the breakdown of fats and sugars. Yes that's right you're burning calories while standing and still doing you job. Keep in mind calorie burn is minimal.
Think about the last time you were in a meeting, reclined back in the conference chair and wondering when is it going to end. We tend to daydream when sitting for extended periods of time. Now think about how we interact with one another; we typically stand up for engagement and to be attentive to our guest. Utilizing a standing desk can help keep your energy levels up and maximize productivity throughout the workday.
According Research by Max Vercruyssen, Ph.D at the University of Southern California showed......"Standing up also increases your ability to pay attention, speeds up your ability to process information by 5% to 20%, and increases blood flow (and oxygen) to the brain by 10% to 15%."
We all know there's no silver bullet to health and fitness or productivity at work; however subtle changes in lifestyle can help at least get the the ball rolling. Since we are spending so much time in the office and in front of our computers make the switch to a standing desk. Contact me with any questions or sample requests in the Southern California market.


Foot pain during pregnancy is not an uncommon issue, but there are remedies that can help to alleviate or eliminate it.
The good news is that foot pain and pregnancy do not have to go together. It is possible to avoid the discomfort of swollen feet, arch pain, and other common foot conditions experienced while pregnant.
Excess fluid buildup (called edema) causes throbbing, swollen feet. Reducing the swelling will usually alleviate the pain and discomfort. Do this by elevating your feet whenever possible, even if it's for only a few minutes. Stretch your legs frequently, and try wearing wide, comfortable shoes. Giving your feet a little extra freedom goes a long way to reducing the discomfort associated with the swelling.
Arch fatigue or overpronation can cause pain in the arch of the foot. In overpronation, extreme stress is placed on the plantar fascia which holds up the arch. This leads to pain that makes it difficult to stand and walk. Prevention of plantar fascia stress is key. Adopting a daily stretching routine first thing in the morning is very helpful. Also, make sure to stretch the feet and legs before and after any exercise. Choosing supportive, low-heeled shoes is also important.
Ingrown toenails can quickly go from uncomfortable to very painful. Because the feet tend to swell during pregnancy, footwear can become too restrictive and cause ingrown toenails. It can be tempting to perform your own treatment with nail clippers, but repeated cutting of the nail can cause the condition to worsen over time. It's best to seek treatment with a foot and ankle surgeon who can assess the severity of your condition and perform a safe, sterile treatment.
Remember that during pregnancy, it is not uncommon for women to experience a change in their foot size. Sometimes this can be a permanent growth up to half a shoe size. If your footwear feels tight, listen to your body and wear shoes that give your feet more room.
Dr. Pereira helps his patients experience their pregnancy with as little foot pain as possible. If you are early in your pregnancy and haven't yet experienced any of these symptoms, remember that prevention is always the best medicine. Follow the tips here to help make your pregnancy as pain free as possible.

Background: As family planning programs mature and the requirements for the resources expand, research is required to shed light on cost analysis of the program. A recent World Bank study has focused on the financing and cost effectiveness of the Indian family planning program.
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the unit cost of a family planning program provided at the primary health centers (PHCs) and to examine the variations in unit cost in different PHCs.
Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in three PHCs of Ahmedabad district, namely Sanathal, Nandej, and Uperdal, between April 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007. For estimating the cost of a health program, information on all the physical and human resources that were basic inputs to the PHC services were collected and grouped into two categories: non-recurrent (capital resources vehicles, buildings, etc.) and recurrent resources (salaries, contraceptives, maintenance, etc.). To generate the required data, two types of schedules were developed: daily time schedule and PHC/SC (subcenter) information schedule.
Results: The unit cost of utilizing family planning method works out to be highest at Nandej PHC (Rs. 267.68) and lowest at Uperdal PHC (Rs. 190.44), followed by (Rs. 194.12) at Sanathal PHC. The high cost at Nandej PHC is due to low utilization of the family planning service.
Conclusions: Increasing the coverage of health services is a key to reduce the unit cost. Personnel costs account for the maximum share of the total cost. Hence, efforts should be made to have a judicious use of personnel.
Key words: Capital cost, primary health center (PHC), reproductive and child health (RCH), recurrent cost, subcenter (SC), total cost, unit cost

Q: Evaluation in return statement //prog1.c
#include <stdio.h>
    int f(int *a,int *b,int c) {
      if(c == 0) return 1;
      else {
        *a = *a + 1;
        *b = *b - 1;
         c =  c - 1;
         return (*a + f(a,b,c) + *b);
      }
    }
    int main() {
      int a = 3,b = 3,c = 3;
      printf("%d\n",f(&a,&b,c));
      return 0;
    }

I executed the program using gcc and clang-3.5 and found output = 16.
I think there might be some implementation specific behaviour like the follwoing code
//prog2.c
#include <stdio.h>
int f(int *x,int *y,int *z) {
  *x = *x + 1;
  *y = *y + 1;
  *z = *z + 1;
  return 0;
}
int main() {
  int a=0,b=0,c=0;
  printf("%d %d %d\n",a,f(&a,&b,&c),b);;
  return 0;
}
// gcc output : 1 0 0
// clang-3.5 :  0 0 1

In prog1.c is there any implementation specific behaviour in the return statement ? If not how is it evaluating ?
I may not know some kind of undefined behaviour Or, unspecified behaviour. Please explain.
Thanks

A: As noted in comments and in the near duplicate question (Is this undefined behaviour in C? If not, predict the output logically.), the results from both these programs are not fully defined by the C standard — they produce 'unspecified behaviour' because the order of evaluation of the terms in the return statement of the first and the printf() call in the second is not specified by the language and is at the whim of the compiler.   (Note that it is 'unspecified behaviour' rather than formally 'undefined behaviour' — see the discussion in the comments. It is not 'implementation defined' behaviour either; the implementation is not required to document what it does.)
That means that the results given by any implementation are 'implementation specific' in the terms of the question.  Different implementations may legitimately produce different answers.
The first program is:
#include <stdio.h>

int f(int *a,int *b,int c) {
  if(c == 0) return 1;
  else {
    *a = *a + 1;
    *b = *b - 1;
     c =  c - 1;
     return (*a + f(a,b,c) + *b);
  }
}

int main() {
  int a = 3,b = 3,c = 3;
  printf("%d\n",f(&a,&b,c));
  return 0;
}

The problematic part is return (*a + f(a,b,c) + *b); because *a could be evaluated before or after the recursive function call, and f() modifies the values that a and b point at so the order of evaluation matters.  Different compilers could legitimately produce different results.  The same compiler could produce different results at different times, or under different optimization flags, or as it chooses.  Both *a and *b could be evaluated before the call, or after the call, or either one could be evaluated before and the other after — and that just names 4 plausible alternatives.
The second program is:
#include <stdio.h>
int f(int *x,int *y,int *z) {
  *x = *x + 1;
  *y = *y + 1;
  *z = *z + 1;
  return 0;
}
int main() {
  int a=0,b=0,c=0;
  printf("%d %d %d\n",a,f(&a,&b,&c),b);;
  return 0;
}

The problem is that the sequence in which a, f(&a, &b, &c) and b are evaluated for the call to printf() is not specified by the standard and you get different results depending on the sequence chosen by the compiler.  You showed that GCC and Clang produce different results — both those results are acceptable according to the standard, and so are plenty of others.

A:
In prog1.c is there any implementation specific behaviour in the return statement ? If not how is it evaluating ?

There is nothing wrong about the return statement except that the recursive call would be endless if your original call to f with c is negative.
It's not clear the purpose of your function f - but the terminating condition should be better written as:
if(c <= 0) return 1;

Academy Award for Best Soundtrack
Ennio Morricone: Time for Oscars to settle composer score?
Ennio Morricone is one of Hollywood's most acclaimed and continually daring composers
Nominated for an Academy Award for "The Hateful Eight" - would be his first score to win
Has composed music for over 400 films including "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
The legendary Italian composer doesn't write music for awards juries, he says, but he admits he would be "very, very happy" if he was honored at last with a crowning Academy Award for Best Original Score.
Morricone - best known internationally as the composer behind the instantly recognizable melodies that illuminate epochal Westerns "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West" - is nominated at the awards this Sunday 28 February. His music for Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" provides his sixth nomination, but the Italian master has never won.
For many in the business - he can count filmmakers Brian De Palma, Terrence Malick, Roman Polanski and Bernardo Bertolucci among his admirers - this is one of the Academy's most egregious oversights.
Morricone, who is today unveiling a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, estimates he has written music for between 400 and 500 films. He reminds us that the Westerns he is best known for, account for only a small minority alongside cinematic classics including "The Untouchables" and "Cinema Paradiso."
The Rome-born composer arguably came closest to a win in 1986 when his original soundtrack for "The Mission" lost in controversial circumstances (losing to a jazz arrangement that critics claim predated the film.) Morricone's score has since topped a Variety poll of the greatest soundtrack ever written.
An Academy Honorary Award in 2007, recognizing his lifetime's achievement, appeared to be acknowledgment that Morricone ought not be without a statuette. But the legendary composer still awaits the possibility of a win in the Awards' Best Original Soundtrack category.
In an interview with CNN filmed this month as he rehearsed with a full orchestra for a concert of his music at the O2 Arena in London, Morricone shared some lessons from his 60 years in music...
On his score for The Hateful Eight: "I never considered this film a western, I thought it was an adventure film set in a specific time period, so I went with that."
On Tarantino's brief: "He told me nothing. He asked me to write 10 minutes' worth of music about 'snow' and that's it... Then I thought 10 minutes would not be enough for a film - I didn't want to take advantage of this new offer, so I wrote half an hour of original music instead."

This creamy chicken pot pie soup filled with roasted vegetables and chicken, served with herb-flecked puff-pastry crackers might be the perfect dynamic duo and ultimate comfort food.
Chicken pot pie is one America's ultimate comfort foods, but the leftovers aren't quite as delicious, because the crunchy topping goes soggy the next day. This recipe solves that problem by delivering a dynamic duo—a creamy soup filled with roasted vegetables and chicken, and herb-flecked puff-pastry crackers that stay crunchy all week long.
For this recipe I used chicken breasts cut up into even chunks. It works really well and the chicken stays extra juicy and delicious. If you happen to have leftover roast chicken you could also use that just skip the section where I brown the chicken and add it straight to the soup to heat up with the rest of the veggies.
This soup uses cream instead of milk which still gives it a creamy and comforting texture without being overly rich and heavy. Making a simple adjustment like this takes a comfort food treat to a nourishing a wholesome meal that you can enjoy guilt free!
True to its name, puff pastry puffs up nearly ten times its size during baking thanks to all the buttery layers. Topping the pastry with a sheet pan during baking limits the puff factor, compressing the layers into addictively crisp crackers.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper; spread in an even layer.
Bake until browned, tossing with a spatula halfway through cooking. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven, add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; sprinkle bacon in an even layer.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove bacon using a slotted spoon, and set aside.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; cook in batches until just browned, about 3 minutes.
Remove chicken from pan using a slotted spoon. Set aside.
Add onion, celery, and garlic to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add butter; let melt. Sprinkle in flour; stir to coat vegetables, and let cook one minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually add stock, whisking constantly. Add milk, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low; add chicken, carrots, potato, and thyme.
Let simmer until thick and creamy.
Stir in peas; taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Sprinkle servings with bacon; serve with Thyme-Parmesan Crackers.
Can I add other Vegetables?
Of course, this soup is very versatile although for a traditional chicken pot pie flavor stick to the vegetables in the original recipe. If you have other veggies that need using up or you'd like some variation why not try corn (canned or fresh), mushrooms (any will do), broccoli or green beans.
This soup will keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days. You'll notice a skin may develop even if it's been covered but all you need to do is give it a stir and heat it on the stove until piping hot all the way through. You also may need to loosen it with a touch of water, milk or chicken stock you'll only need around 1/2 cup.
You can also freeze the soup in ziploc bags or containers and then defrost as needed, reheat as normal on the stove.
Peas cook quickly so add them at the very last minute even from frozen so they don't overcook and stay fresh and vibrant.
Other herbs that would work well in this soup are rosemary, tarragon, and oregano.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days or can be frozen in suitable containers.
To make this gluten free use GF stock and flour.
Chicken can be replaced with cooked ham or added alongside it.
You could also serve with biscuits or regular puff pastry cut into desired shapes instead of crackers.
If you've tried this chicken pot pie soup then don't forget to rate the recipe and let me know how you got on in the comments below, I love hearing from you!

Preheat oven to 400F. Unfold puff pastry sheet; place on a piece of parchment paper.
Roll with a rolling pin to smooth out seams and flatten slightly.
Whisk together egg and water; brush over puff pastry.
Sprinkle evenly with cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Using a pizza cutter, cut pastry into desired shapes; separate pieces slightly.
Spray a second piece of parchment with cooking spray; place on top of puff pastry, spray-side down.
Roll gently with a rolling pin to press cheese and herbs into pastry.
Transfer puff pastry to a rimmed baking sheet; top with a second rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crackers are golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
Peas cook quickly so add them at the very last minute even from frozen so they don't overcook and stay fresh and vibrant.

STEVENS POINT — Gary Wescott will be sworn in as the interim mayor of Stevens Point on Monday.
The swearing in ceremony will take place at 8 a.m. in the police department's conference rooms A and B.
Monday's ceremony will begin Wescott's term as interim mayor, scheduled to last until mid-April, when a new mayor will be elected by the citizens of Stevens Point. At least four candidates already have announced their plans to run for the position.
Wescott said he spent most of the past week meeting with the city's senior leadership to prepare for the transition. He said he commends the department heads for their help in the transition process.
He said he'd like to also schedule meetings with the City Council members to listen to their concerns and ideas for the city.
"We're going to hit the ground running at full speed on Monday," he said.
Wescott was elected as interim mayor by the City Council to finish the unexpired term of Mayor Andrew Halverson, who announced in October that he would leave his position early to take a job as the vice president of business development at Ellis Stone Construction Co. Wescott served as the city's mayor for three consecutive terms from 1995 to 2007.

Vote Michael Appleby (ALCP) for Ikaroa-Rawhiti!
Tuesday 4 June 2013 Richard 1 Comment
Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party candidates for next year's General Election pictured (from left to right) Fred Macdonald (Otaki), Alistair Gregory (Rongotai), Richard Goode (Mana) and Michael Appleby (Wellington Central).
ALCP Leader Michael Appleby is also our candidate in the forthcoming Ikaroa-Rawhiti by-election to be held on 29 June. Today Michael announced his candidacy and launched the ALCP campaign.
Labour slammed for terror campaign comment
David Shearer's comment that the Labour Party will "terrorise our political opponents" during its Ikaroa-Rawhiti by-election campaign is "reprehensible", a candidate for the seat says.
In a press release announcing Labour's candidate Meka Whaitiri's official campaign launch, the Labour leader said: "Labour will campaign relentlessly to once again earn the trust of the people of Ikaroa-Rawhiti.
"We will organise, mobilise and terrorise our political opponents."
The leader of the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party, Michael Appleby, who was at Parliament today to launch his by-election campaign, said Labour should apologise over the comment.
"Threatening terrorism against opponents is offensive and unacceptable in a democratic by-election and the comments are extremely insensitive to the Tuhoe settlement which occurred today at Parliament," he said.
He said Shearer's comments were "outrageous, offensive and unacceptable".
"I do not want to be terrorised just for standing up for my political beliefs," Appleby said.
Thanks, Michael, for standing up for Truth, Freedom and Justice! 🙂

Michael Appleby launches by-election campaign at Parliament


In your previous (non-mom) life, did you love reading? Well even though life is busy now, I believe time for reading can still be found, and think it's a far better way to spend our time than some other things.
I have been a reader since childhood. From Sweet Valley High and the Babysitter's Club to R.L. Stein . I read in the car, at home, and outside. I continued reading throughout my youth and into my 20's… and then I had kids. Then the books on my nightstand were parenting books. And then I grew sick of self-help.
It wasn't until recently that I knew I needed to get back into reading because, see, my husband and I made a no technology rule after 8:00-ish p.m. If you're used to having screen time in the evenings, it's actually quite difficult to figure out how to fill your time at first. Now we'll usually do projects, talk, go for a swim, and read. I've gotten back in the habit and I feel so much more refreshed and balanced than before.
Here's why I think reading is good for moms.
Lying on the couch, in your bed, or a favorite chair with a book is a cozy thing to do. Your body relaxes, your mind focuses on the story, and you lose yourself in the book. Whereas a self-help book keeps you comparing and contrasting your own life with the story (not a bad thing in and of itself), you can lose yourself in a novel and sometimes that's exactly what's needed. Particularly if you are a tired mom or in a day to day stressful situation.
2. You can do it anywhere.
What I love about reading is that it is mobile. While I like sewing and DIY projects, you can't do them in the waiting room at the doctor's office. You can read a book in a waiting room, during the school pick up line, and obviously at home. While at home I actually prefer to eat in bed for some reason. I think it helps me wind down. If I had a nice special chair and blanket I might change my mind, but for now I'm a bed reader.
3. It takes us out of our bubble.
When we're in the thick of parenting (surviving the newborn phase or going through a difficult time with our toddlers) we often stay inside our own world. It becomes all about the kids. Teething, diaper rash, reading books, and making sure everyone is alive. Sometimes reading books helps remind me that this phase is difficult, but it's amazing. You can even join books clubs, virtual or in person, and use it as a weekly reprieve from the duties and tasks set out in your stay at home mom resume.
4. It's a relatively inexpensive hobby.
5. It keeps you off of social media.
Now, of course social media isn't the devil or anything. As a blogger I use social media often, but probably because of that… I feel very imbalanced if I spend too much time on Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest. I start feeling like I should do this or that. Or I realize I'm not trendy, but forget I don't actually want to be trendy. I pin two thousand projects that the mentally transfer to my "to do" list since I'm a Type A mom and anything I see becomes something that is a possibility. Reading takes you away from screens, away from comparison, and away from any feelings of "should" or "need to." You actually stop thinking about yourself, period.
So here are those on my list. Some of these I have read and love and others are on my TBR list (which I recently found out is the "to be read" list). Oh, and before we get started, I came across this free printable book journal where you can record the books you want to read, write the ones you have, write those you've abandoned (good way to find closure with a book you didn't want to read, but don't like to not finish something), and with a big list of book recommendations.
I love Agatha Christie. When I was pregnant with my first, I lived in Scotland in a cottage that had hundreds of books, and I read as many AC novels as I could find. My favorites are below.
I went through a phase in my early 20's where I was mystery addicted and I find the old mysteries by AC and Arthur Conan Doyle to be more plot based and less gruesome with nothing very explicit.
I have read every Jane Austen book, I do believe, and quite a few of them multiple times. They're funny, easy, and actually very rich with profound character references.

Umbrella Academy Season 2 hits Netflix today X-Men meets Back to the Future
"Umbrella Academy" Season 2 hits Netflix today: "X-Men" meets "Back to the Future"
Starting today, ten new episodes of the superhero series "The Umbrella Academy" are available for streaming. The dysfunctional superhero family is scattered over different years in the past after a time travel that went wrong.
The first season "The Umbrella Academy" was well received at the start in February 2019 (also in our series review), if not outstanding. Judging by the English-language reviews, the Netflix superhero series is getting even better in season two.
The consensus on Rotten Tomatoes is that the new episodes will be happier without losing the emotional core of the story about a group of outsiders – and lots of time travel fun is promised. "X-Men" meets "Back to the Future": People with extraordinary strengths since birth, who are not always the best team players, travel wildly through time – and you can travel with them.
Starting today, July 31, 2020, the ten episodes, second season "The Umbrella Academy" will be available on Netflix.
The plot: A journey through time really goes wrong
Warning, spoilers will follow at the end of the first season. For the second season, however, we only reveal the initial situation.
We remember: At the end of the first season, Vanya (Ellen Page) triggered nothing less than the end of the world in a dark-phoenix-worthy fit, when an energy beam she had shot blew up the moon and the individual parts rained down on the earth. But Vanya's family, number five (Aidan Gallagher), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) and the others, decide to take a trip back in time, which Klaus triggers, to solve the problem.
This is where the second season "Umbrella Academy" begins, in which the previously hastily drawn up time travel rescue plan turns out to be quite complicated. Unfortunately, after the interlude of a Soviet invasion, the Umbrella siblings end up in the Dallas area in different years from 1960 onwards (number five ends up in a nuclear disaster).
Now it is important that the heroes, who are scattered over time, somehow come together to prevent 123movies nuclear disaster and then the apocalypse. Good luck with it!
"Back to the Future" on the Canvas Love Podcast
If you feel like traveling back in time, maybe the current episode of our cinema podcast, Canvas Love, is the right thing for you. That's where we're talking this week about the groundbreaking "Back to the Future" series, which has been back in theaters since July 30th.
