With a frown, she said, "I don't think it would be comfortable to sleep on the couch."
"I thought you have a bed here?" asked DX.
"I do but it's a single-size bed."
With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he smirked, "We can share."
Pretending to be affronted, Kai Xin scoffed, "President Du! Behave yourself! Did I say that you can share MY bed?"
She was a brash, kind and brave child, but most importantly, she was always full of confidence. No matter what happened to her, she always faced her conflicts head-on.
However, an incident in high school changed her life.
The course of Kara Zhen Kai Xin's life had drastically changed because she placed her trust in the wrong person.
Consumed with despair, rage, and fear, she became suicidal. However, she forced herself to live on with only one thought in her mind: Revenge.
Along the way, she encountered people who would be her friends, comrades, mentors...and even lovers. With their guidance, she advanced one step closer towards her goal.
President Du XiAn of the Du Corporation had chanced upon her while he was escaping the woman who was forced upon him by his mother.
With a single glance, Kara Zhen Kai Xin was forever etched in his mind. Unable to forget about her, he spent the next few years searching for her all across the world.
Yet ultimately, fate played a prank on him. It turned out that all along, she was based in the same city as him. When she rejected his advances, he proposed a contractual relationship; To become her sugar daddy.
Desiring to hold her in his arms in any way he could, Du XiAn was willing to do anything, even if it meant that he could only have her body.
Over the years, his desire led him to the point of no return. No longer a simple infatuation, he found himself to be hopelessly in love with her.
With his help, would Kai Xin be able to exact her revenge or would she lose what she holds dear in her quest for vengeance?
The story would be moving slowly at first as I would be focusing on building up the world and the backstory. However, everything would eventually be linked together.
Do take note that the story is PG18+ and there might be scenes that would be uncomfortable for some.
Updated on 21st January 2019 - Due to my work and studies, I would try to post at least one (1) chapter a day.

Q: Does my thesis adviser pick the snake?
A: No. Your adviser just tells the guy who picks the snakes how good your thesis was.
Q: When and where do I fight the snake? Does the school have some kind of pit or arena for snake fights?
A: You fight the snake in the room you have reserved for your defense. The fight generally starts after you have finished answering questions about your thesis. However, the snake will be lurking in the room the whole time and it can strike at any point. If the snake attacks prematurely it's obviously better to defeat it and get back to the rest of your defense as quickly as possible.
Q: Could the snake kill me?
A: That almost never happens. But if you're worried, just make sure that you write a good thesis.
Q: Why do I have to do this?
A: Snake fighting is one of the great traditions of higher education. It may seem somewhat antiquated and silly, like the robes we wear at graduation, but fighting a snake is an important part of the history and culture of every reputable university. Almost everyone with an advanced degree has gone through this process. Notable figures such as John Foster Dulles, Philip Roth, and Doris Kearns Goodwin (to name but a few) have all had to defeat at least one snake in single combat.
Q: This whole snake thing is just a metaphor, right?
A: I assure you, the snakes are very real.


A pre-marital agreement, also called a pre-nuptial agreement is essentially a contract between the parties before they get married which seeks to regulate how their assets and income should be divided in the event of their separation/divorce. Despite their contractual status, a pre-marital agreement cannot oust the jurisdiction of the Courts in deciding financial Orders. In other jurisdictions such as Sweden, Canada, New Zealand and certain US States these agreements are fully enforceable.
Marriage contracts are a feature of certain religions, for example Islam. Pre marital agreements are not binding in England and Wales. However, they have been regarded by the courts, more recently as, persuasive. The existence of a properly drafted pre nuptial agreement may affect the outcome of a case because the court will have regard to it when considering 'all the circumstances of the case' or 'as conduct it would be inequitable of the court to disregard'. However, most of the case law surrounding recognition of pre marital agreements relates to 'big money cases'.
The Law Commission's report published in 2014, recommended that statutory recognition of pre-marital agreements and that there should be legislation to introduce 'qualifying nuptial agreements'. In order to become a qualifying nuptial agreement, specific formation requirements were essential such as: each party should obtain independent legal advice, any agreement made as a result of undue influence would be voidable, the agreement should be made at least 28 days before the wedding and must be made by deed and include certain declarations from each party acknowledging the status and enforceability of the agreement. Even so, qualifying agreements could not contract out of meeting the financial needs of a party or the needs of any children.
The parties can decide their own outcome on divorce, which will reduce costs and acrimony in the event of a divorce.
As many marriages end because of this agreement over finances, pre-marital agreements can encourage openness of finances.
In times when two in five marriages fail, pre-marital agreements may encourage marriage certainty over Court proceedings.
Pre-marital agreements may save time and costs in Court proceedings.
Pre-marital agreements can protect wealth or family assets of preserved property for children for earlier marriages. As the position of the parties can change over time, for example the birth of new children or one party becoming sick or disabled the pre-marital agreement will become out of date and likely unenforceable.
One of the parties might unduly influence the other into an unfair pre-marital agreement.
Paul McCartney said they are "unromantic".
A pre-marital agreement may discourage marriage for fear of losing assets.
There is a financial cost for independent legal advice for both parties prior to the marriage.
In recent Court cases, pre-marital agreements have been held to be enforceable by the Courts and Supreme Court in the case of Radmacher v Granatino  held that "the Court should give effect to a nuptial agreement that is freely entered into by each party with a full appreciation of its implications unless in the circumstances prevailing it would not be fair to hold the parties to their agreement". The situation now is that unless there are exceptional or new circumstances, the Courts appear to see no reason to deviate from the agreement.

Maccabi GB continue to share the story of Chanukah through the 78th Torch Relay
On Tuesday 20th December, Maccabi GB and Maccabi Tzair concluded the 78th Torch relay. This is the first time in three years that Maccabi GB have been able to hold this in person, facilitating over 40 educational sessions, to schools, youth groups and care homes across the country enabling over 2,000 people to learn about the story of Chanukah.
Maccabi Tzair, the youth movement of Maccabi World Union, continues to send delegations of young Israeli teens on the Chanukah Torch Relay, touring the world and bringing the message of Chanukah to schools and community organisations, and creating a spiritual connection between Diaspora Jewry and Israel. This year the delegation was made up of six members from Maccabi Tzair; Shaked Rachamim, Ilan Gottfried, Noam Cohen, Einav Aharoni, Mika Kiselstein, Tali Engel and were lead by Madrich by Yinon Zur.
Activities over the five days included arts and crafts, games, stories, music and lots of Chanukah themed fun for everyone involved.
The delegation held sessions for; Clore Shalom School, Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School, Independent Jewish Day School, Sacks Morasha Jewish Primary School, Sinai Jewish Primary School and Yavneh Primary School. In addition to visiting primary schools, the delegation also delivered sessions in Jewish Care retirement living homes, Jewish Care Festival of Lights Parade and at Finchley Reform Synagogue for their Chanukah Party running a variety of activities.
Head of the Delegation Yinon Zur commented "We came a long way from Israel but immediately felt like we're at home. In one short week we met an amazing and diverse community, met interesting people and experienced new things. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did and we wish we could stay longer. It was a pleasure. We want to thank you and wish you Chag Chanukah Sameach! We hope the light of the Maccabees will keep burning in you."
Maccabi GB's Head of Events and Business Development, Candice Mendes da Costa said, "We were delighted that the Torch Relay delegation could return back in person this year, delivering the story of Chanukah to so many people throughout the Country. It has been an honour to work with the whole delegation and to see the joy and happiness on people's faces enjoying and interacting with all the sessions.'
The Maccabi GB Chanukah Torch Relay expresses the Maccabi Movement's values: the continuity of the Jewish People, the love for Israel, freedom and independence and we look forward to the 79th Torch Relay happening next year.

Magic Mesh is a screen door that opens instantly when you walk through it and closes itself.
The Magic Mesh are similar to Bug Off Instant Screen where it works by placing magnets in strategic positions to automatically close the screen.
The Magic Mesh are great for hands free entry and exit for both people and pets. Another great feature is that they will keep the bugs out but still allowing air to flow through the house.
With your help we can reach more people and let them know about Magic Mesh whether this product works or not.
I live in an apartment and I'm not allowed to put up a screen door so I bought this to let fresh air in. Set up was easy. That is the only nice thing I have to say. It looks ugly on my door. I have a metal front door and any time someone would walk in from outside the magnets would stick to the door instead of going back together. Wind makes it open. After 3 days of people going in and out it started to tare away from the boarder. This is only good if it is used for one day like having a bar b q with friends that will be going in and out of your home.
bought it online 07/12/2011, and recieved it 08/05/2011. you will need to have a patience of a saint to wait this long especially if the shipping is as expensive as the mesh itself. the verdict after a couple of days of using it on my back door, it works good as long as there's no breeze, the magnet is not strong enough to hold together the mesh if there's a breeze. all in all, this is a OK product.


Nobody can 100 percent say that stretching can directly decrease the risk of injury, but most podiatrists or physiotherapists recognise stretching can have an indirect benefit via improving muscle tone and flexibility of the body. Stretching is one of the oldest forms of training with roots in martial arts, yoga, ballet/dance and performing arts such as gymnastics. So it must have some benefit!
Stretching is most commonly employed as part of a warm up, particularly in sport. But again that doesn't mean we are correct in what we're doing. There are so many different types of stretching to suit each condition or body type so we invited Tim Maiden of The Foot Practice to get an insider's perspective on what we should be mindful of, pre- and post-race!
1. Static stretching – this is the most common used in both warm ups and by individuals therapeutically, involving simply taking a muscle's point of origin away from where it inserts.
2. Dynamic stretching – another tool used by athletes involving slow active movement progressing towards quicker movements through the muscle's full range of movement.
3. Ballistic stretching – a more aggressive type of stretching similar in fashion to dynamic stretching.
4. PNF stretching – this involves taking the muscle through a static stretch but then contracting the stretched muscle without allowing it to shorten again, after five seconds you then stretch the muscle further.
5. Neurological – this is geared towards applying a stretch to a specific nerve, such as the sciatic nerve. This should not be carried out without the supervision or recommendation of a suitably qualified therapist.
6. Fascial stretching – in addition to neurological stretching, this is often directed from a specialist, involving more than one muscle complex.
Warming up before activity in most cases will reduce injury risk, but the type of stretching chosen is oft not appropriate.
Research has indicated that combined stretching and movement training can improve muscle tone and body function, however, researchers have found that static stretching prior to exercise can in fact reduce muscle strength and power, to the detriment of performance (Fowles et al., 2000). Overall, the literature suggests that static stretching pre-exercise has a negative effect or no effect on strength and power and is best avoided in this scenario.
Dynamic stretching on the other hand has been shown to improve muscular performance (Yamaguchi & Ishii, 2005). Which I think needs to be more widely known, each Sunday morning on East Coast Park I see heaps of people performing static stretches getting excited about their runs, if only they knew!
Static stretching is a great therapeutic tool, but we only recommend as either a separate session or post exercise. As mentioned dynamic stretching has been shown to be of use pre-exercise in improving performance and can also improve tissue elasticity.
Here in Singapore the huge majority of us are stuck in static positions for long periods during our daily life. We see huge benefits from stretching as it helps regulate our muscle tissues and helps to combat the changes in posture that can occur from sitting for prolonged periods. For example, if you are a runner with stiff hips and thorax, this will not only affect your lower back and hamstrings but it could also limit your ability to take in oxygen which then can affect your performance.
The Foot Practice would encourage inclusion of stretching as part of your training regime for long term conditioning.
Dynamic stretching should be included pre-exercise, while static stretching is best used to improve flexibility in between training sessions. It should also be noted that having great flexibility, but being unable to control these extreme ranges of motion, could increase injury risk.
Therefore stretching should not be used in isolation but alongside other physical training methods to improve overall body control. Stretching alone will not prevent injury – nor will it treat injuries – without other complementary interventions such as podiatry, physiotherapy, resistance training and plyometrics.
Stretching has many benefits for you and your training programme. You should use dynamic stretches as part of your warm-up and simple static stretches after training to ensure you prepare and get the most out of your workout. Include stretching in your regular exercise routine!

Keith: Holiday travel can be stressful, especially because airfare and hotel cash prices tend to be expensive. But with the right miles & points strategy, you can reduce your out-of-pocket travel expenses significantly, even during peak travel times.
For example, my wife and I recently celebrated New Year's Eve with my parents at Epcot in Disney World. Planning ahead allowed us to use credit card points to book 2 rooms just outside Disney World for free.
My Wife and I Love Collecting Credit Card Points That Allow Us to Save Money on Otherwise Expensive Travel Costs, Like a Disney World Hotel Stay!
Staying on-site at Disney World the week after Christmas required a 2-night minimum at most hotels. And I saw room rates of $1,000+ per night at hotels with available rooms (most were sold out), which I found to be outrageous.
I realize families traveling with young children might prefer to book an on-site hotel to take advantage of meal plan discounts. You can check out this guide to using points to stay at on-site Disney World hotels.
But if you don't mind staying just outside of Disney and want to avoid out-of-pocket expenses, this strategy might work for you!
My wife and I love to keep a stash of Chase Ultimate Rewards points for potential hotel bookings if we're visiting an area during a busy travel time. Because we can transfer points to Hyatt, which has a no "blackout date" policy. As long as a standard room is available for sale, you can book it using points!
During our holiday travel planning, I found open award rooms at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, which is just a ~15 minute ride from the Disney World Theme Parks. The hotel provides a free shuttle, which was a fantastic perk during our stay.
We decided on this hotel based on the overwhelming amount of positive TripAdvisor reviews. It gets better ratings than some of the on-site Disney World hotels.
And you don't pay resort fees when you book a Hyatt award stay. The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress has a $30 per night resort fee, so we avoided $60 in fees by booking 2 rooms with points.
Many other hotel chains don't waive resort fees on award stays. For example, even with Starwood Platinum status, I still pay resort fees at certain hotels, which is extremely frustrating.
The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress is a Category 4 Hyatt hotel, which means an award night costs 15,000 points. So I transferred 30,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to my Hyatt account to cover the cost of 2 rooms. The same rooms would have cost ~$700 total if we paid cash. This means we got ~2.3 cents per point worth of value ($700 cash cost of stay / 30,000 points).
Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time at the hotel because we were enjoying the New Year's Eve festivities at Epcot. But the location and our room were ideal for a quick one-night stay. I'd definitely go back!
The Lobby Was Festive for the Holiday Season. And There Was a Parrot on Duty!
The rooms were modern and spacious with a balcony overlooking the private lake.
The full stand-up shower was modern and water pressure was just right.
We took advantage of the free hotel shuttle to get to Disney World. The bus dropped us near the monorail, which we then took to Epcot.
Earn Chase Ultimate Rewards Points So You Can Save, Too!
$500 bonus (50,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points) after spending $3,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of opening your account Read our review here!
My wife and I have each have 5 of the 6 cards in the table above. Besides earning the valuable sign-up bonuses, we like to use the card that gets us the most bonus points for purchases we make everyday.
For example, I use the Chase Sapphire Reserve to earn 3X Chase Ultimate Rewards points on travel & dining purchases. And my wife uses the no annual fee Chase Freedom to earn 5X points on purchases in rotating quarterly bonus categories (on up to $1,500 in spending).
Just remember you can only transfer points directly to Chase's travel partners (like Hyatt) if you have certain cards. But folks with no annual fee Chase Ultimate Rewards points earning credit cards can combine points (including with a spouse) and then transfer them.
Note: Chase Ink Plus and Chase Ink Bold cardholders can also transfer points directly to airline and hotel partners. But these cards are no longer available to new applicants.
Even during peak holiday travel, you can use points to avoid out-of-pocket hotel expenses.
My wife and I recently transferred 30,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Hyatt. Then, booked 2 rooms at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. The hotel was just a ~15 minute shuttle ride away from theme parks at Disney World, like Epcot! And using points saved us ~$700, which was the total cash cost of 2 rooms at the hotel on New Year's Eve.
Hyatt is a fantastic Chase travel partner because the hotel chain does NOT have blackout dates. And you don't pay resort fees when you book an award stay!
Have you used points to save money on a trip to Disney World?

Growing mustaches for prostate cancer
Biology Freshman Kyra Malicse tries on a fake moustache given out by the Interfraternity Council in honor of 'Movember,' a month-long event to raise money for prostate cancer. Movember participants are encouraged to grow moustaches throughout November and make an online profile on the IFC website to raise donations.

By John Farey
Fake moustache kits are usually associated with use in a private eye's disguise routine, not to raise awareness for men's prostate cancer.
Passers-by on Speedway were treated to Interfraternity Council members wearing thick, black moustaches and handing out free fake moustache kits for the Mo[ustache]vember charity on Monday. The IFC hopes to raise $20,000 for men's prostate cancer research — double last year's efforts.
The kit included a can of shaving cream, a razor, some candy for Halloween and a prop moustache to be applied to the upper lip to promote sponsorship for the month-long event. Participants start the month clean-shaven and grow a moustache for all 30 days in November. Meanwhile, they can create a profile to track their progress through the Interfratenty Council website and receive donations.
President Chris Felicetta said the IFC, which represents all 23 Greek fraternities, hopes to sign up more than half of the 2,200 council members this November. Three hundred members sported moustaches to raise $10,000 for the Movember charity in 2010, the first year the month-long event was run on campus, Felicetta said.
"We're asking our members Greek-wide to grow facial hair, make a profile on the web page and then raise money for prostate cancer," Felicetta said. "This is our big philanthropy of the semester."
Female students can also participate by signing up as "Mo-Sisters" to help take donations and raise awareness, Felicetta said.
Vice-president Matthew Ziemnicki said he didn't believe young men were aware of how common and serious prostate cancer can be.
"I didn't know much about it myself until I started this campaign," Ziemnicki said. "It happens to one out of every six males. It is out there and it doesn't get enough press, and we're just doing our part."
More than 240,000 men have been diagnosed with prostate cancer in the U.S. alone this year, according to the National Cancer Institute, about 7,500 more than the number of men and women with breast cancer, which receives much greater public awareness.
Architectural engineering freshman Jordan Figueroa said he had tried to grow a moustache over the summer without much success, but raising awareness of men's health and prostate cancer might convince him to try again.
"I tried to go for the typical Latino moustache, but I didn't get it," Figueroa said. "Prostate cancer isn't something that was really on my radar. I don't know much about it. Awareness couldn't hurt, I'm going to look into it."

WASHINGTON: India has potential to build over 2600 nuclear weapons thanks to its unsafeguarded civilian nuclear facilities producing reactor-grade (civil) plutonium, which is weapon-useable, says a research paper published by the Harvard University.
The paper released this week by the Belfer Centre for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School suggests that India's existing and future nuclear capability fuels regional security anxieties with Pakistan and impedes progress on the early conclusion of a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty.
Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, a renowned expert journal estimates that India already has 110-120 weapons based on weapons-grade plutonium but the fresh study add the potential of reactor grade plutonium for weapon use. An investigative report by Adrian Levy in Foreign Policy Magazine had revealed that India is building a top-secret nuclear city for production of fissile material.
The paper recommends that Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) should impose IAEA safeguards on India's civil nuclear programme to ensure that reactor grade plutonium produced under civil program is not used to produce nuclear weapons.
surrounding a large chunk of unsafeguarded civilian fissile material," says the paper.
Last year a report by the Belfer Centre had pointed out that India had three overlapping streams of nuclear program including military, civilian (safeguarded) and civilian (unsafeguarded).
The fresh report elaborates the potential of India's unsafeguarded civilian programme to be diverted for military purposes. India is the only other country besides the United States that has recently used reactor-grade plutonium in manufacturing and testing a nuclear explosive device.
The report points out that India has the largest non-NPT nuclear power programme outside IAEA Safeguard.
The fresh paper has renewed concerns that India is expanding its nuclear weapon potential in the garb of civilian nuclear programme.
In 2008, India and the United States concluded a civil nuclear agreement that paved the way for a one-time waiver from the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) requirement for full-scope safeguards as a condition of export.
Simultaneously, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also approved a safeguards agreement that included a plan for designating separate civilian and military fuel cycle facilities.
"Although in 2006, India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and US President George W. Bush made an announcement of a Separation Plan for India's nuclear program that would clearly designate two lists of civil and military nuclear facilities. However, three parallel categories or "streams" of plants and facilities—"civilian safeguarded," 'civilian unsafeguarded' and 'military' have emerged over the years," writes the paper's author Mansoor Ahmed.
The report says India has begun construction of four 700 MWe heavy water power reactors. This will more than double the unsafeguarded power reactor capacity from the current 2350 MWe. This capacity will be able to produce over 2.5 tons of weapon-usable reactor grade plutonium. One 220 MWe reactor can be used to produce 150-200 kg of weapons-grade plutonium every year sufficient for 38 to 50 plutonium weapons.
The report says India is increasing its reprocessing (plutonium separation) capacity from the current 350 tons of heavy metal per year to a target of 2000 tons during the next decade.
According to report, India is working on implementing a plan to increase its weapons-grade plutonium production capacity by twenty times to 700 kg every year through a fleet of 5 breeder reactors.
The peculiar trajectory of India's nuclear power expansion is also providing it with the means and the justification to establish the wherewithal and facilities for the stockpiling of large quantities of weapon-usable nuclear materials. Ostensibly for a "civilian" nuclear program— outside of any international safeguards—makes it impossible to confirm that these materials will not be used in weapons.
The paper says India's plan are causing concerns for its regional rivals.
"Pakistan therefore has to consider India's full potential to make nuclear weapons, including both explicitly military stocks and unsafeguarded ostensibly civil stocks, whether weapon-grade or not, and including material in spent fuel that would still have to be reprocessed," it says.
India's unsafeguarded fissile material stock and upcoming nuclear facilities can allow for a quick and possible diversion of a small proportion of these stocks producing a large number of nuclear weapons without interfering with the nuclear energy program.
According to the Principles Guiding the Separation of Civilian and Military Nuclear Facilities as part of the U.S.-India dialogue for concluding a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, facilities were to be designated as civilian or military on the basis of the nature and location of the facilities affecting national security considerations.
Additionally, facilities "that, after separation, will no longer be engaged in activities of strategic significance" were supposed to be designated safeguards. Yet, India has deliberately kept nearly all of its fissile material production facilities outside safeguards-allowing for the use of these materials and facilities for its nuclear weapons program at any time.
This includes eight indigenous PHWRs; front-end fuel cycle and uranium enrichment, plutonium, and heavy water production and reprocessing facilities; and all Fast Breeder Reactors.
The report also recommends that India should put more (and ultimately all) of its separated reactor-grade plutonium and reactor-grade plutonium in spent fuel under safeguards in addition to putting more of India's PHWRs and reprocessing plants under IAEA safeguards.
Now I am not sure If you have taken the efforts to go through the Belfer Paper. If you really have you should notice: Page no. 2 second paragraph, line no. 1 and 2. Does the sentence even make sense. It is grammatically wrong. This is not an one off instance, the entire paper is riddled with grammatical errors. Of course this is a trivial issue. But if one has to consider that a paper, from Harvard Kennedy authored by a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, is riddled with grammatical errors, he or she has every right to question quality of the findings. Incidentally the author, the one named Mansoor Ahmed, has received Ph.D. in International Relations from Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU), Islamabad – so one would not be surprised if these findings carry traces of inconsistent research methodologies, perhaps to arrive at prejudiced conclusions. It is safe to assume that this author received his primary education in Pakistan (one would be really surprised to know that anybody would visit Pakistan to complete his or her post graduation studies having graduated from abroad). Furthermore, english is certainly not his first language. Not that it undermines his knowledge, however, at the level of postdoctoral fellowship if one is making such trivial errors why should one not question the credibility? Food for thought.
Why are not the USA, PRC & RUS signatories to CTBT & NPT?

I just found it by printing value of number_of_people and I don't know what to do about it

A: A number of issues ...

*

*name in Person is a char but output prints with %s -- change to string

*room's key_holder link can be NULL when printing in output -- must check for that. Otherwise, this causes a segfault [most likely cause of your issue].

*change_num_of_people does not pass back the updated value of _people to main -- change to double pointer

*Mixing getchar and scanf is bad juju.

*Doing a lot of scanf calls without a printf to describe what to input is confusing.

*Better to have pointers to the current room and person to eliminate a lot of (e.g. rooms[room_index - 1].whatever).

*Compiling with -Wall would have flagged some of these issues.

*Running under gdb would have spotted the segfault from key_holder being NULL

Here is the updated code. It is annotated with the bugs and fixes. I only checked the D and P commands, so probably more bugs. But, at least, it doesn't immediately crash.

Triumph 1930 CTT 498cc 1 cyl ohv 3107
Triumph 1930 "CTT" 498cc OHV single frame # 808649 engine # 130947 CGT
The mid-1920s were difficult times for the motorcycle industry but Triumph managed to get through with its very successful Model P.
By the late 1920s though, the company was being overtaken by the competition and it was definitely time for something different.
So in October 1928 an entirely new range of "C-Series" machines was presented in the form of the CO (348cc OHV) , CN (498cc SV) and CSD (550cc SV).
There were a number of features that were new for Triumph and the models were a vast step forward from the Triumphs which had previously been updates from a 1906 design.
The frames were of the cradle style holding the engine therein and the engines were Triumph's first with a semi-dry sump circulating lubrication system, as opposed to the earlier total loss system. The three models shared frames and gearboxes.
For 1930 the C-Series range was added to with the 498cc Model CTT, a "sportsman's machine" in every sense of the expression.
Like the CO it carried the Vincent Horsman designed head and it had the same 80x99mm bore x stroke dimensions as its predecessors, the famous TT and TS models of 1927-1929.
Unfortunately the CTT was born into a trade depressed world due to the American Wall Street Crash of 1929 and few were able to afford the luxury of this top-of-the-range machine.
Consequently few of these CTT models appear to have been manufactured. (source: Peter Cornelius "Triumph-The facts").
This CTT was produced in September 1930 and first registered in Denmark on June 4th, 1931.
It changed hands in 1932 and stayed in one family for almost 90 years; the son of the second owner restored the machine in the 1990s and has used it regularly since.
The petrol tanks still has its original chrome finish and the Bosch electric lighting system has also been on the machine since it was new.
Ignition control is by the left-hand twistgrip; this was a feature of all 1930 Triumph models.
The original rear stand was missing, so a more modern replacement has been fitted.
Motor Cycling road tested the CTT and published the results in the issue of March 26, 1930.
A conclusion was: "It had been thoroughly tested and proved then that this new addition to the Triumph range was fast, very controllable, beautifully finished, admirably silenced, comfortable, "right" as regards the minor points of design and possessed several features which marked a definite advance in motorcycle design.
|What more could be expected?"
This sporty mount comes with information file comprising licencing documents, photostats of pre-war and post-war photos, invoices, BMS workshop instruction manual, Bosch electrics instructions, correspondence with Marque Specialist, sales information and Motor Cycling road test.

Q: Shopping Cart Problem I have implemented simple shopping cart in a website. I save the cart and items in Session object. After user checkouts (using Paypal), I clear the cart items. This works fine, but I have seen a problem in following scenario:
Suppose a user added some items to cart and opened another browser and logged in. He can now see the items in both browsers. Now if he checks out in one browser he is still able to see the cart items in other window as both browser have separate sessions.
What approach should I adopt to avoid this or will have to live with this?
EDIT:- After posting the question I was thinking about it. I will settle for this simple solution, Whenever user goes for checkout, I will hit the database to load the cart instead of session. This way I won't be hitting database for showing items in cart (on top) and there won't be any checkouts based on phantom items.

A: From the moment that you save the cart items on the session and you have diferent sessions you have diferent carts.
To eliminate this, you need to have a common place for all session that you going to save your cart, and this is a table on a database. This common place are connected to the user ether with the user id, ether with the user cookie.

A: You'd have to AJAX-ify the shopping cart panel section of the page and use setTimeout() to refresh it at regular intervals.
Probably more effort than it's worth, however - if you're doing it right, clicking 'checkout' again on the 2nd page shouldn't cause duplicate transactions and the list will refresh on the next page load.
EDIT
And by "doing it right" I mean tracking cart items based on the user's Id, not just the Session object.

A: Your web app is based on HTTP protocol which open and close a connection just to satisfy an Http Web request. Now it is quite normal that if you open another two browser and check out on one of them you can still see the same page (infomration) on the other one. What I think you should do is just avoid that a user can check out twice or handle if someone is trying to check out an empty basket(which is your case if the user hit checkout on the second browser)
and it that case you can just show a message. If you go for the solution for which you should refresh at interval the page bear in mind what it could happen if the user open and log in into 250  different sessions: how many time your web app will be hit?
If you go for my suggestion all user session will get just an error page like: The bastek is empty.
I hope it makes sense


Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) is a newer form of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). Here, the magnetic pulses are applied in a certain pattern, called bursts. Research studies with TBS have been shown to produce similar if not greater effects on brain activity compared to standard rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation).
Conventional TMS procedures typically last up to 37 minutes per session whereas TBS can go down to as little as a few minutes' duration.
The standard theta burst pattern consists of three bursts of pulses given at 50 Hz and repeated every 200 ms.
Continuous (cTBS) stimulation. Here, a 40 second train of uninterrupted TBS is given on the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and typically 600 pulses.
lntermittent stimulation (iTBS). Here, 2 seconds of stimulation on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is followed by an 8 second pause, for example for a total of 190 seconds and typically 600 pulses.
In August 2018, FDA cleared a 3-minute TBS protocol for treatment of major depressive disorder. The FDA cleared protocol was based on a clinical study - the THREE-D trial - which was led in partnership by three leading research hospitals in Canada (CAMH, UHN, and UBC). The THREE-D trial is the largest, double-blinded, randomized TMS trial to date involving 414 participants suffering from major depressive disorder. The article was published in The Lancet in 2018.

Learning List is acutely aware of and respects publishers' security concerns. Publishers upload all product data and access information directly into Learning List's secure database. Products are accessible only to the subject matter experts assigned to review the material through the database; materials are not emailed during the review process. Six weeks after product reviews are published on LearningList.com, the product access information is deleted from Learning List's database.

Yes. Publishers may subscribe to Learning List. With a subscription, publishers have full access to all of Learning List's reviews and have all but two of the same privileges as subscribing districts. The two exceptions are: 1) publishers cannot request the review of a product published by another company and 2) publishers are not able use the educator ratings feature.

We offer a 15% discount for publishers that have submitted materials to Learning List for review. For more information about publisher subscriptions or submitting content, contact Christopher Lucas, Director of Publisher Relations, via ChristopherL@learninglist.com.
5. Can we get a trial subscription to LearningList.com to see what the reviews look like?

Samsung thinks that it will take around 5 to 10 years for 3D TVs to be available without glasses, in the meantime they will be trying to sell you a 3D TV with a pair of 3D glasses.
This is fine of you don't normally wear glasses, but if you do Samsung has the answer as they are going to be producing prescription 3D glasses for people who ear glasses all the time or use them for reading or watching TV.
Samsung hasn't released any information on how much the prescription 3D glasses will cost, but we suspect they will be a bit more expensive than the normal 3D glasses.


Researchers from the GEEMaP program, College of Engineering, and Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences collaborated to predict and map where frac sand mines may be most likely to occur in Winneshiek County if the industry enters the area.
Several criteria were developed and used to assess mine location likelihoods at sites across the county, including the suitability of St. Peter sandstone for mining, access to transportation networks, and land use regulations. These criteria were researched through several different methods, including GIS, field work, and statistical modeling. This highly interdisciplinary project brought together students and faculty from diverse fields and resulted in products that contributed to Winneshiek County's ability to make decisions about engaging with the frac sand mining industry.

For fall 2015, Apple is preparing an "S" iPhone upgrade that superficially preserves the exterior designs of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but includes a collection of major internal changes. In May, we reported that this new "iPhone 6S" line would debut this fall with a Force Touch, pressure-sensitive display as one of its marquee features. Now, a proven source familiar with Apple's supply chain has provided us with the most extensive look yet at Apple's next iPhone, sharing the first photos of the iPhone 6S's external metal casing, plus an in-depth look at the new iPhone's internals. Today, we're focusing on the exterior of the next iPhone, which appears to refute a number of potential changes that some have speculated were destined for this model.
Could this be our first look at the much larger iPhone 6?
Sonny Dickson has posted images today which claim to show the casing for the next generation iPhone. The metal shell, which closely resembled both the industrial design of the current iPod touch and iPad Air, appears to be of unibody construction. While it's impossible to verify the legitimacy of these images at this time, they provide an interesting look at what Apple might be planning.
We've been hearing reports that the next iPhone will feature a larger, sapphire crystal display, and these images support those rumors, sporting what looks like much larger casing. The report also hints that the current iPhone 5s may stick around, but be manufactured out of cheaper materials, alongside both 4.7 and 5.5″ iPhone models. But what does that mean for this shell?
BusinessInsider points us to this concept from Matteo Gianni and friends that imagines a low-cost iPhone inspired by the original translucent, brightly colored casings Apple introduced with its iMac G3. While the G3-inspired back casing comes from only one sketchy DigiTimes report, the concept also appears to include a curved backside and other elements that line up with more concrete reports.
Non-functioning next-gen iPhone prototypes/fakes surface in Bangkok?
We brought you high-res shots of the black and white next-generation iPhone backs in May, and then we brought you a video hands-on with similar looking casings in June that surfaced online. Today, Neowin posted images it claims to be a "prototype finalized design casing" of the next-gen iPhone (not a functioning device) in the hands of an ex-staff member at MBK Center in Bangkok, Thailand. Present is the repositioned headphone jack, redesigned speaker grills, smaller dock connector, etc., from past leaks, but we have no way of confirming its authenticity. It is possible this is a really good knock-off based on our earlier leaks.


We are thrilled to announce the recently published Negative Publicity: Artefacts Of Extraordinary Rendition is the recipient of The Rencontres d'Arles 2016 Photo-Text Book Award!
Congratulations to photographer Edmund Clark and counterterrorism investigator Crofton Black! Many thanks to our co-publisher, Aperture Foundation, and the individuals whose generous contributions brought this book to fruition.
The Book Award was created 47 years ago at the start of The Rencontres d'Arles summer photography festival. As photography publishing continues to innovate and expand, so too do the categories awarded. With the support of the Fondation Jan Michalski pour l'Écriture et la Littérature, the Photo-Text Award is a new addition, recognizing excellence in combining images and texts.
Negative Publicity: Artefacts of Extraordinary Rendition, by photographer Edmund Clark and counterterrorism investigator Crofton Black, is an assemblage of photographs and documents that confront the nature of contemporary warfare and the invisible mechanisms of state control.
The year following the work completed with Magnum Foundation's support, Edmund proposed the idea of a book that would bring together his photographs with extensive documents, many heavily redacted, to recreate the network that links CIA "black sites." Through exhaustive research, these documents were compiled by Crofton Black, who was working for lawyers on behalf of transported individuals.
The assembled paper trail shows the activities of extraordinary rendition via the weak points of business accountability: invoices, documents of incorporation, and billing reconciliations produced by the small-town American businesses enlisted in detainee transportation, raising fundamental questions about the accountability and complicity of our governments, and the erosion of our most basic civil rights.
Manifested in book form, these visual and written records evoke ideas of opacity, surface, and testimony in relation to this process of movement—a system hidden in plain sight. The Photo-Text Award is a significant acknowledgment of this ambitious and timely project and the rigorous and pioneering approaches that Magnum Foundation supports through its grant-making and production.

Read more about the book and its making on the Arts-Policy blog by the World Policy Institute (WPI), where Edmund and Crofton recently participated in a round table discussion as a part of the CIA Rendition Program.
The extraordinary rendition programme was controversial from the outset, with complaints raised early on by government officials and contractors who witnessed elements of it. After various such complaints the CIA's Inspector General conducted a review of the first two years of the agency's detention and interrogation activities. The review examined a range of 'enhanced interrogation techniques'. These had been authorised for use on the first 'high value detainee', Abu Zubaydah, captured in March 2002, and on numerous subsequent prisoners. The review considered the role of medical and psychological personnel in the application of these techniques, the recording of interrogation sessions, as well as some ways in which interrogators had exceeded authorised methods. A considerable proportion of the report was redacted – blacked out by the agency's censors – on its eventual declassification and publication in 2009.

Le col des Bagenelles est un col de montagne français situé dans le massif des Vosges dans le département du Haut-Rhin et la région Grand Est.

Géographie

Situation

Le col des Bagenelles est situé à  d'altitude. Depuis le col, on jouit d'un panorama pittoresque sur les deux vallées de la Lièpvrette et de la Béhine. À proximité du col se trouve le Grand Brézouard (), un sommet entre les Bagenelles, Le Bonhomme, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines et Aubure.

Le col se trouve à dix minutes de voiture depuis Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, par la D 48 qui passe par le hameau d'Échéry. Elle redescend vers Le Bonhomme, situé à  en contrebas. Une route annexe, la D 148, permet de rejoindre la route des Crêtes par le col du Pré de Raves à .

Faune et flore
Le col des Bagenelles est un endroit idéal pour observer en automne la migration des oiseaux. C'est au mois d'octobre que l'on a le plus de chance d'observer cette migration. Chaque année, des milliers de pinsons, de ramiers, de grives et autres passereaux franchissent le col des Bagenelles pour rejoindre leurs zones d'hivernage.

Activités

Station de sports d'hiver

Sont aménagés  de pistes de ski de fond et quatre itinéraires de raquettes. Il existe aussi un petit domaine alpin près de la ferme auberge de la graine Johé, équipé de trois pistes de ski alpin (une verte, une bleue, une rouge) et de deux remontées mécaniques.

En 1964 le ski-club de Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines organise des « Jeudis de Neige » et le  décide l'achat d'un petit téléski démontable qui permet d'éviter de remonter la pente à pied. La première compétition de slalom géant est organisée le  par le ski-club de Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines.

La station actuelle est créée en 1971, avec l'achat du téléski de la graine Johé par le SIVOM de la Vallée de Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines.

Vers 1986 le téléski de Rombach-le-Franc est démonté du Faurupt pour être réinstallé derrière la ferme auberge de la Graine Johé afin de créer un secteur débutant. Entre 1986 et 1989 sont créées la piste bleue et la piste verte « Jules Fréchard ».

La Communauté de communes du Val d'Argent dirige depuis 2005 un important programme d'aménagement de la station des Bagenelles auquel sont associés la commune de Sainte Marie-aux-Mines, le ski-club et la société d'exploitation. Un grand nombre de ces aménagements sont opérationnels depuis la saison 2005-2006 avec la création d'un nouvel itinéraire skating, de quatre itinéraires pour la raquette à neige, la pose de nouveaux balisages et panneaux d'information. Un petit livre de poche permet de s'orienter et de découvrir les nombreuses possibilités de cette station, pionnière dans l'histoire du ski de fond dans ce massif vosgien. Les aménagements de ce site sont soutenus par le Conseil général du Haut-Rhin. Une nouvelle dameuse permettant de drainer et de reprofiler les pistes de neige a été acquise. Une liaison entre la piste bleue et la piste rouge a vu le jour ainsi que l'installation d'un moteur électrique sur le téléski de la graine Johé. Une piste de luge a aussi été aménagée.

Les aménagements liés aux activités hivernales se poursuivent. Ils ont été achevés pour la saison 2006-2007 avec la création d'un nouvel itinéraire skating, de quatre autres itinéraires pour la raquette à neige et de la pose de nouveaux balisages et panneaux d'information pour le public. Un plan de poche permet de s'orienter et de découvrir les nombreuses possibilités de cette station, pionnière dans l'histoire du ski de fond dans le massif vosgien.

L'ensemble de ces travaux, associé à une communication soutenue, a permis d'améliorer la fréquentation et la satisfaction des utilisateurs tout en préservant le charme du site. Ces aménagements sont soutenus par le Conseil Général du Haut-Rhin à hauteur de  pour un budget total de .

Refuge du Club vosgien
À partir de 1946, le Club vosgien éprouvait le besoin de construire un refuge sans toutefois parvenir à concrétiser le projet, à cause du manque de fonds et des autorisations nécessaires. C'est lors de la fête du Haycot, le , que la décision est prise d'acheter des terrains au col des Bagenelles, près de la route bien fréquentée et près d'un emplacement permettant de jouir d'un magnifique panorama sur la haute vallée de Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. Les concessions de terrain et de la source furent réglées grâce à l'amabilité des municipalités de Sainte Marie-aux-Mines et du Bonhomme qui y facilitèrent toutes les démarches. C'est auprès des Eaux et Forêts que la bataille fut la plus rude pour obtenir les autorisations. C'est finalement le  que le terrain fut choisi et délimité en présence du maire Zeller et de l'architecte de la ville de Sainte Marie-aux-Mines ainsi que du garde général des Eaux et forêts, M. l'Hôte. Les travaux de terrassement furent entrepris le 7 mai en présence du président du Club vosgien, M. Jean Grimm et d'une petite équipe de volontaires. Par la suite l'équipe fut agrandie et bientôt une soixantaine de membres bénévoles rejoignait le groupe consacrant ainsi une partie de leurs loisirs aux travaux de terrassement. Au fur et à mesure de l'avancement des travaux, des écoliers, des scouts apportèrent leur concours, de sorte que la construction put avancer à pas de géant. Le 11 septembre, les travaux de terrassement furent achevés et les fondations exécutées le même automne par l'entreprise Bari. Le , la tranchée pour la conduite d'eau longue de 127 mètres fut tracée et exécutée ; le 6 juin l'eau coulait au chalet. Dans le même temps une route d'accès au chalet fut réalisée. Vers la fin de l'année 1951, le chalet accueillait ses premiers visiteurs qui y trouvèrent un confort inhabituel pour l'époque. L'inauguration du chalet eut lieu le  en présence du sous-préfet de Ribeauvillé. Depuis cette date, des milliers de visiteurs y ont fait étape. Ainsi, le col des Bagenelles devient un carrefour européen de la randonnée. Le dimanche, le chalet des Bagenelles devint rapidement un lieu de rencontre des paysans des vallées voisines : Faurupt, La Petite Lièpvre. À plusieurs reprises, le refuge servira de cadre pour l'organisation du carnaval des marcaires, de la fête des genêts ou pour des concours de belote. Le , le Club Vosgien a fêté le cinquantième anniversaire de son refuge des Bagenelles.
