BTS Becomes 1st Foreign Artist In History To Top Oricon's Year-End Artist Rankings 2 Years In A Row
by E. Cha
BTS has made Oricon history for the second year in a row!
Last year, BTS became the first foreign artist ever to top Oricon's year-end artist rankings, which rank the best-selling artists of the year in Japan. The annual rankings are determined by calculating the total sales of an artist's singles, albums, and DVDs, as well as their streaming data, for the entire year.
On December 23, Oricon announced that BTS had done it again. The group came in at No. 1 on the year-end artist rankings for 2022, giving them the distinction of being the first—and so far, only—artist to top the annual rankings two years in a row.
According to Oricon, the ongoing success of BTS's long-running hits "Dynamite," "Butter," and "Permission to Dance," along with the strong digital downloads achieved by their anthology album "Proof," all contributed to the group remaining No. 1 for a second consecutive year.
The BTS members remarked, "We were able to receive this award, which is a huge honor, thanks to ARMY [BTS's fandom] and the many people who love our music. We were truly happy to be able to hold concerts in various places this year and meet ARMY from all over the world. We will try to become an artist that can repay that love through even better music in the future. We're thankful to ARMY for giving us their unchanging love."
Congratulations to BTS on their historic achievement!

Northern Exposure: "The Grey," "Man on a Ledge," and "One for the Money"
Whenever I watch a movie such as Alive or The Thing or director Joe Carnahan's The Grey - especially in January - I ask myself the same question: Is it worth it? I know about cinematic sleight-of-hand, of course, and that the performers and crew aren't enduring anywhere near the nightmarish conditions suffered by the characters on-screen. I also presume that a fat Hollywood paycheck instantly makes any location shooting, including The Grey's outdoor shoot in wintry British Columbia, a lot more bearable. But still, all that ice and wind and trudging through thigh-deep snow ... . Is any movie experience worth spending three months in fear of losing your digits to frostbite?
Waxing on: "The Karate Kid," "The A-Team," "Marmaduke," and "Killers"
The opening scenes in director Harald Zwart's The Karate Kid remake, with the preternaturally confident and magnetic Jaden Smith taking over the Ralph Macchio role, are really good. But your first indication that the movie might wind up being really great - or, at the very least, a really great time - comes with its introduction of Mr. Han, the Pat Morita substitute played here by Jackie Chan.

Bill's tech career began when he was a kid building Meccano sets (no electronics back then, just nuts and bolts, hinges, pulleys, and levers), which led him to fixing up old cars (mostly by necessity-his parents were understanding enough to loan him space in their garage for indeterminate intervals), to winning a New York State regional Calculus competition, and on to Cornell University where he earned a Double Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Materials Science and a place in two Engineering Honor Societies: Alpha Sigma Mu, and Tau Beta Pi. Bill also earned an MA in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins University.
Armed with the know-how to design and build processors, Bill joined Accenture (Arthur Andersen at the time, and later Andersen Consulting), where he learned how to program those processors and eventually to manage very large teams of developers. At Accenture, Bill specialized in software architecture, telecommunications, and software services. During his tenure, he and his team were awarded a patent in software service architectures. In addition to managing one of Accenture's largest global telecommunications client teams, he became a Managing Partner of the North American Technology organization for the Telecommunications and Media practice.
After more than two decades at Accenture, Bill took the road less traveled (by tech standards) to focus on his writing. He set to work rousing from their long sleep the literary seeds that had been sown in his youth. Bill's books include the Glide Trilogy, which won the Beverly Hills Book Award in Science Fiction and has more than six million reads on Wattpad, and the Cap City Mysteries young adult mystery-thriller series about talented but disadvantaged teens who take on Washington, DC. Bill's freelance work has appeared in Popular Science, WIRED, and OneZero. He serves as Managing Editor of Delmarva Review, a literary journal. And, he teaches Science Writing at Johns Hopkins Krieger School and MIT's Office of Engineering Outreach.
And while you can take the boy out of tech, you can't take tech out of the boy: Bill remains close to all things tech, not only in his writing (fiction, features, and essays) but also by sharing his time and expertise with venture capital partners to evaluate promising new opportunities and by advising tech startups.


Precious metals futures split in the mid-week trading session Wednesday. Gold was among the winners, rising for a second session in a row as U.S. stocks sank on the day.
Gold for December delivery rose $1.90, or 0.2%, to settle at $1,193.40 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
"Gold is holding steady in a narrow range as the 'big' dollar pulls back from its seven-week high — support remains strong for the dollar on the back of a strong U.S. economy and expectations of steady interest-rate hikes by the Fed," MarketWatch quoted Dean Popplewell, vice president of market analysis at Oanda.
Gold futures ranged from a low of $1,188.50 to a high of $1,195.70. They edged up 0.2% on Tuesday and dropped 1.4% on Monday, for their lowest close since Sept. 27.
Silver for December declined 7.4 cents, or 0.5%, to end at $14.326 an ounce. The settlement is the weakest since Sept. 27. Silver futures traded between $14.25 and $14.46. They climbed 0.5% on Tuesday and declined 2.2% on Monday.
January platinum shed $1.60, or 0.2%, to $827.30 an ounce, ranging from $822.60 to $831.40.
Palladium for December delivery added $5.10, or 0.5%, to $1,067.20 an ounce, trading between $1,055.20 and $1,074.
Gold rose $3.05, or 0.3%, to 1,188.60 an ounce.
Silver added 5 cents, or 0.4%, to $14.375 an ounce.
United States Mint bullion sales grew by 3,000 ounces in American Gold Eagles and by 260,000 ounces in American Silver Eagles.

I Thought Professional Surfing Was Hard, Then I Started A Water Charity
On World Water Day, the unpredictable challenges of water charities
I became a first responder by accident. I had planned to go to Indonesia so I could surf and do some charity work, handing out water filters to help people who had trouble accessing clean water. I had 10 filters with me. But while I was there, I was caught in the earthquake around Padang, Sumatra. It's incredible to think, but those 10 filters—which exceeded Environmental Protection Agency purity standards without anything more complicated than gravity and a few ounces of hollow fiber membrane—saved thousands of lives. It was a profound, divine moment that catalyzed my life. It also left me with the naive impression that helping people access clean water would be easy. It isn't.
I started Waves For Water as a first responder in Haiti after the earthquake in January 2010, and since then, the organization has supplied clean water and disaster relief to over 7 million people, in almost 30 countries. I thought I could just help people access clean water as a pet project—not as a job—but Haiti really changed things for me. Early on, it was easy to think, 'We're doing good work. It's great just to be here.' But I started to understand that I had to be smarter. You can't drop in and expect things to go well, just because you want to help.
Early on, I'd go out all day into the field and come home, gutted. No matter how I distributed the filters, people thought I was being unfair or arrogant in how I was doling out help. The situation was dire, and there was no leadership on the ground. But there was a Haitian pastor who would get up on this makeshift plywood stage and give sermons to massive crowds. I finally pulled him aside and said, "I'm not a dumb guy, but I can't come up with a fair solution here." He said, "Do you trust me? Come to my sermon tonight." I went and watched him. At the end he said to the people that had gathered, "You know, I met this guy yesterday who's doing this water program, and he's been helping us. He would like you to know that every single pregnant woman will get a filter." The crowd erupted into cheers. It was such an elegant solution, and it brought us so much goodwill and trust. That's when I realized that if I enlisted the right people in each of these communities that need help—respected individuals who people look to as leaders—we could navigate even the hardest spots.
Of course, if you don't do that—if you don't work with locals and plan ahead—things can go really badly. That happened to me in Haiti, too. There were tent cities all over Port-au-Prince. I'd been in-country for eight months, and I felt confident about looking for areas to help, so my driver and I went to a camp where we thought there were only 30 families. But it turned out there were 33 families, so we were short a few filtration kits. We delivered what we had, did the training, and planned to come back the next day with the remaining kits. The following day, as soon as we arrived, a crying woman ran up to me and hugged me and said. "My baby doesn't have diarrhea for the first time in his life." That's what happened overnight—now that there was clean water.
But then things took a bad turn.
What I didn't realize at the time was that there were four other camps in that neighborhood—8,000 more people. The story of the woman's son had spread like wildfire because so many other kids were in distress. While I was dropping off the three extra filtration kits, people from the other camps started showing up. It's survival for them, and they're just trying to get some water. Soon, there were a lot of desperate people in need of filters. We retreated to the truck, but I kept talking to everybody while I sat on the tailgate. With the truck almost surrounded, my driver started to pull away. Some people were crying, while others were clearly very angry. I hit the truck and said, "Go, go!" It turned into a chase. The truck had to move slowly to navigate the roads, and some younger guys were following me and calling me every name in the book.
[quote position="left" is_quote="true"]It's survival for them, and they're just trying to get some water.[/quote]
"Where's mine motherfucker?" and, "You come here," they yelled. That's when I realized it wasn't about the filters for them in that moment. It was about me, the white guy who comes in and drives off and represents a lot of the things they have legitimate issues with. They were ready to make an example of me. Of course, I couldn't let them grab me off the truck. I'm not a knife-savvy person, but I did have a knife on me and I started waving it in the air. The traffic broke, we picked up speed, and those guys threw their hands up. That's what happens when you go in without the necessary preparation and without local partners.
My first time in Haiti was like a master's program. I stayed for two years developing our model, day in and day out. I didn't expect to be back in the wake of another disaster this year. Once again, my expectations have been totally upended. The land was impassable after the hurricane, and victims were entirely dependent on air and sea aid. Sundown still plunges devastated areas into total darkness. Dozens of cholera hotspots have broken out. Our goals are still simple: figure out what people need and how to get it to them. But delivering on those goals is now even more complex because of the scale of the damage. This time, at least, we're starting out with the knowledge that none of this stuff works without strong local networks. It's going to be a long road. Our role is to do whatever we can to help the people in the countries we serve figure out how best to walk it.


It seems that once you rip the nice outer layer of this Michigan season, you expose everything you really hated about it, but were never really cognoscente enough to notice while it was happening.
I just assumed that the lack of production on offense was what led to Michigan's struggles on defense. And while that may still hold true, to at least some extent, now seems so much farther from the truth.
I remember Scott Shafer being so upset after one of the early season losses, maybe Notre Dame or Illinois...but either way, Shafer was so adamant in his disdain for about being out coached in pretty much every aspect of the game. Yes, it was Illinois. Now I remember. It was the 2nd half defensive meltdown that pretty much killed any kind of comeback effort. He vowed to not be out coached like that again.
Then we lost to Toledo 13-10.
Maybe the writing was on the wall after the tOSU game...I really don't know. If things were so bad, why did it take almost a month for him to resign (officially)? He was quoted yesterday that he had some "feelers" out there for a new gig...so maybe he saw this one coming. Shafer was absent from the recruiting process the past couple weeks.
"Bottom line is, I take full responsibility for the demise of the Michigan program," Shafer, 41, said by phone Tuesday afternoon. "I accept all the responsibility."
I have no idea how things went down...but it seems as if Rodriguez gave Shafer the option to bow out gracefully and save some face while he looks for a new coaching staff to join.
It has been noted that from 1969 until 2007, Michigan only gave up 40+ points in a game a total of 4 times. And, in 2008, gave up 40+ points exactly 4 times.
For what it's worth, Bo team's never gave up 40 or more points in a game. Prior to 1991, the last Michigan team to do so was in 1968, in a loss to tOSU, 14-50.
So, who's the next DC for Michigan?
mgoblog has a list of potential candidates. We're in the process of making a list and checking it twice. More to come soon.
True, Shafer may not have been The Answer, but he didn't get a lot of help on the offiensive/special teams sides of the ball either.

Scherzo – The Musical Joke
There are moments in life we never forget, those times we use as checkpoints when looking at the past. These can range in size from huge, epic act breaks, to small, seemingly mundane plot points. As we reach back into that nebulous thing we all have called memory, we often compare when things happened to these benchmarks. "We bought the car after mom died," for example. Or, "The last time I had poison ivy, we played that game of Scrabble where so-and-so played 'quizzical' for umpteen points."
What does this, you wonder, have to do with music?
Well, nothing, really. It's just that I'm about to describe one of those small, seemingly mundane plot points.
When I was a student at Boston University (According to one of my professors, for me "being a student [was] an extra-curricular activity."), I had the good fortune to sing Benjamin Britten's War Requiem in the school's Symphonic Chorus. One day, rehearsing part of the dies irae section, I happened to be sitting next to Bob Mollicone, an incredibly excellent musician. He was singing second tenor, and I was singing first. It was early on in the rehearsal process, so we were pretty much sight-reading. We got to the end of the section where the tenors sing "Oro supplex et acclinis quasi cinis," which Britten had decided to score in parallel major seconds. Like this:
When the music stopped, Bob and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. Our conductor, the great Dr. Ann Howard Jones, looked over at us in her Iowan, no-nonsense way. She had a great sense of humor, but always liked to keep rehearsal moving. (This insistent decorum was nearly undermined when the Boston Red Sox were in the World Series where they finally "reversed the curse." She tasked certain members of the chorus to wear radios and raise their hands when something important happened, or give hand signal score updates.)
"Is everything all right over there?" she said.
"Yes. Sorry," I replied, then added something like "The parallel major seconds... It's just funny."
She moved on quickly, but it did make me wonder. What makes music funny? Obviously, music with funny words is usually regarded as funny, but what about music without words, or where the words are serious? Why did this passage in a sober work like the War Requiem give Bob and me the giggles?
Around the same time, I composed my first rag. It actually took me almost a year to finish, and when I did, I wondered if it wasn't just ripped from my father's rags. (He has written a number of rags that, to my knowledge, have never been recorded or published, including a humorous one about past presidential hopeful Hubert H. Humphrey.) Before I started writing it, I knew I would name it "The Rich 4 Rag," after my residence hall and floor. It's a jolly piece, as rags are.
I should say, for the uninitiated and the curious, that ragtime was a music form popular at the turn of the twentieth century. Its most popular composer was Scott Joplin, who standardized the form and also wrote waltzes, marches, and songs. The usual rag form is AABBACCDD, with an optional introduction at the beginning and optional interlude (usually four bars) between the third A and the first C, but there is much flexibility from piece to piece. Joplin's rags include "The Maple Leaf Rag," "The Entertainer," and "Elite Syncopations."
With "The Rich 4 Rag," I wasn't necessarily searching for the kind of musical humor that had Bob and me rolling over the Britten. I was just trying to prove that I could write in form, much like a poet might try penning a sonnet, or a filmmaker might try using film (odd, that). When it was finally done and I played it through for some friends, I was surprised to find they all laughed together at a certain chord in the minor key section. It went against everything I expected. Minor keys are usually associated with anything but laughter (although seeing Urinetown changed my perspective on this; the show is filled with minor key songs, yet it is absurdly hilarious).
Perhaps it is absurdity that is the humor of music. Thinking back to Britten's parallel major seconds for a second, I am reminded of the joke my father would play when coming to a new house to teach piano. I'm sure it's an old joke; it seems like the kind of thing Mozart would do to torment his patrons. The owner would almost always make a comment about how well-tuned (or, usually, not) it was—I thought the joke was especially funny if the piano had been tuned recently. My father would say, "Well, let's see," and proceed to play a C major scale in one hand and a C-sharp major scale in the other. "Sounds pretty good!" he'd say, grinning, as his new young student gripped his ears and howled with laughter. In case you're wondering, it sounds like this:
In this case, the player's words and actions help the humor. Consider, in macrocosm, the work of such musical humorists as Victor Borge and Peter Schickele (and his alter-ego P.D.Q. Bach). Prof. Schickele uses two kinds of musical humor, the "accidental" (not truly accidental, as the humor here is planned, just made to seem accidental) and the intentional. They are both, in their own ways, absurd. In P.D.Q. Bach's "Art of the Ground Round" (a play on J.S. Bach's work about fugues), accidental humor is achieved when two singers, involved in a seemingly innocuous dramatic scene, end up overlapping lines to produce the phrase "Look up her dress." Others of his work, the more "intentionally" funny bits, include pieces like Eine Kleine Nichtmusik (a play on Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, or "A Little Night Music"—P.D.Q.'s piece means "A Little Not Music"), where the melody is besot with references to a vast number of other pieces, including Sousa marches, mariachi music, and so on. In this case, a little previous musical knowledge is imperative to understanding the comedy. Otherwise, it's just another piece of music.
And I almost forgot to mention Spike Jones (and his City Slickers), whose prolific use of unorthodox instruments and noises to make music gave him a lot of work in Warner Bros. cartoons. He was a parodist, perhaps the first, as well as a writer of original funny songs, such as "There's a Fly on My Music" and "Der Führer's Face." But I digress.
Music has a way of making us feel a certain way, and I think to break down music, you find those harmonies and melodies each evoke something different inside us. A certain chord in a certain song gives us an immediate sense of loneliness, or warmth, or love. Consider the songs you love to listen to—putting aside the words, if there are any, what moments speak to you? Even if you don't know what chords or what or couldn't find a B-flat to save your life, you can probably identify how certain pieces of music feel. I wonder if we all feel similar things when we hear certain things, if music can be a shared emotional experience as well as an auditory one. This is what I'm getting at about the humor of music. If everyone in a room laughs at the same time to a certain chord, there must be something deeper going on.
I was going to leave you with a recording of "The Rich 4 Rag" so you could make your own judgments about what's funny and what's not, but it's been a while since I've played it and it takes a bit of getting used to. So, instead, I leave you with another rag, this one the score for a silent short film. Is the music funny by itself, or does it need the film to be funny? (Or, is it just not funny at all?) Thoughts on this or anything, I'd love to hear from you.

March 20, 1950: A Reporter's Encounter with Nan Dorland, Prospector – Part Two
John Albrecht in front of the cabin he shared with Nan Morenus at Selwyn Lake, northern Saskatchewan, c. 1948
Originally published in the Prince Albert Daily Herald, September 21, 2017.
FOR A FULLER ACCOUNT OF NAN DORLAND'S LIFE, GO TO https://nandorland.blogspot.com
In Part One, I introduced Nan Dorland, the only active woman prospector in Saskatchewan in 1950. An actress turned writer turned prospector from New York City via northern Ontario, Nan – or "Mrs. Morenus" – was interviewed by the Prince Albert Daily Herald on March 20, 1950. She was passing through Prince Albert with her partner, John Albrecht, a long-time Saskatchewan trapper and prospector. The twosome told the Herald that they were flying to Regina and Toronto to check out their find of base metal from their northern stake. The purpose of their journey had a more urgent purpose, however. Unbeknownst to the reporter, Nan was four months pregnant.
Nan arrives in La Ronge
In the summer of 1948, Nan Dorland Morenus arrived in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, to take a prospector's course. Floyd Glass, a Prince Albert pilot, flew Nan and a man – who could have been her husband, Richard Morenus – up to an area west of Stony Rapids. Glass provides an account of Nan's time in Saskatchewan in "A Northern Romance," his contribution to the book, Gold and Other Stories (1986). He recalls that when he flew in a few months later to see if the couple was ready to come out, the man, likely Morenus, ran down to the plane. "He was going out," Glass recounts. "He said as far as he was concerned he didn't know what she was going to do, but he thought she was staying." When Glass went up to talk to Nan, he discovered that "there was no way she was going out. She was up there to find a uranium mine. That's all there was to it."
(Nan and Richard Morenus must have divorced shortly after that. Genealogical records show that Richard married for the fifth time on October 1, 1948 in Minnesota.)
Nan gave Glass some money to pick up a dog team and sleigh for her. He brought her six dogs as well as a net so she could catch fish for the dogs. He thought Nan didn't know what she was in for, but "she thought everything was fine."
Nan and John meet
The first week of December 1948, Nan arrived by dog team at Stony Rapids. It was there, later that winter, that she met 50-year-old John Albrecht. The Herald reporter asserts that uranium "was the cause of the Morenus-Albrecht partnership." Nan wanted to stake claims in the same area that Albrecht first found uranium earlier that year. Floyd Glass flew the two of them up to a lake on the border of the Northwest Territories and was told to come back in the spring.
Nan and John spent just over a year together in northern Saskatchewan. Nan told the Herald she "finds Northern Saskatchewan a 'wonderful place' and her chosen work 'just an enormous amount of fun'." In response to the reporter's question about who did the housework, Albrecht replied tersely, "Whoever gets back first gets supper ready."
Nan had brought her typewriter along, planning to write about prospecting in the north. Glass recalls that she had, indeed sold a couple of stories. The few times he dropped in on Nan and John's camp, she gave him some magazine articles to take down in the mail. (I haven't yet located any stories published by Nan Dorland or Nan Morenus or Nan Albrecht since her 1947 article in Maclean's.)
Tragedy strikes
Nan and John travelled to Toronto in March 1950, shortly after Nan discovered she was pregnant. They were married there on April 29, 1950. Nan gave birth to their son, John Ernest Albrecht Danke, on August 18, 1950, in Stouffville, just north of Toronto. Seventeen days later, on September 3rd, Nan died in Toronto from complications due to childbirth. She was 38 years old.
John Albrecht, no doubt filled with grief, returned to northern Saskatchewan where he continued trapping and prospecting. He moved to Vancouver in 1978, where he died in 1991 at age 93. John and Nan's son was subsequently raised by Nan's Danke relatives in California; he died there in December 2015.
Cover of Richard Morenus' book, 1952.
Richard Morenus (1894-1968) was a fraud. After Nan's death, Richard published his book, Crazy White Man, in 1952. In this book, he describes himself as a New York businessman who took to the northern Ontario bush for six years – on his own – to shed his ulcers. Nan is left completely out of the story. Morenus subsequently had many speaking engagements about his bush adventures. A New York Times book review states, "Respect for Mr. Morenus' courage and hardihood grows with every page we read." Morenus' article, "From Broadway to the Bush," in Maclean's, September 1, 1946, provides a more truthful version of the story. Nan was an equal partner – possibly more – in their shared wilderness experience. For example, when Richard asked Nan if she minded all the hard work, he quotes her as saying, "This is the bush, and I love it. This is fun. Now come on, we'll just have time to get in the last of that red pine we sawed up. That mallard I shot is in the oven. We're having it for supper, and can you get that on 6th Avenue?" He gushes, "What a gal!"

Free Friday: Cheyenne Marie Mize and Bonnie "Prince" Billy - "Among The Gold"
Cheyenne Marie Mize and fellow Louisville native, indie-folk pioneer Bonnie "Prince" Billy have recorded an EP of their renditions of American parlor music originally recorded in the 19th century. The timeless set of duets, Among The Gold is being released as a free download in anticipation of the September release of her debut solo album Before Lately. Cheyenne has also collaborated and toured with Jim James, Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore as a vocalist and violinist.
With minimal instrumental accompaniment, Mize and Billy let their beautiful voices guide these intimate and haunting tales from long ago. The two singers trade off lead vocals on the opener "Only A Dream", a lullaby of love lost. The waltzing "Beautiful Dreamer" features Cheyenne's violin playing and olde-timey melodies. Another standout is "Kiss Me Again", a sweet serenade seemingly perfect for their seamless harmonies.

Blackberry KeyOne vs Nokia 3310: Battle Of The Retro Phones
It's refreshing to see alternatives to the modern all-screen smartphone design, such as the popular retro phones Blackberry KeyOne and Nokia 3310. Not many users are willing to swap the touch screen handsets to ones with a physical keyboard. However, there's certainly still a market for people who are feeling nostalgic, but also long to be surprised with updated versions of the beloved old models.
Such is the case of the new Blackberry KeyOne, which is an Android-powered phone that is unusually equipped with a physical keyboard. On the other hand, Nokia 3310 is essentially a burner phone which you can easily replace, but its durability and charm can still attract a lot of buyers. So which of these pioneering phones should you get?
According to Digital Trends, the Blackberry KeyOne has all the qualities of a traditional smartphone such as excellent battery life, a priority on security, a capable camera, and an additional great keyboard customization options. However, it suffers from occasional performance stutters, it is quite bulky and has subpar navigation icons. For a handset which can accumulate dust through its keyboard, it has a hefty $550 price tag.
On the other hand, according to the Forbes, the Nokia 3310 can't replace your smartphone, but it is widely considered to be one of the most popular phones ever made. According to Forbes, its upsides include a compact, fun design, an indestructible body, an ergonomic grip, and an extraordinarily long battery life. The fun phone where you can play Snake in is priced at a very low $52.
To compare these two popular retro-inspired phones would be like making a comparison between an apple and an orange. The Blackberry KeyOne is a smartphone, while Nokia 3310 is obviously a "dumb" phone. They're so different when it comes to the extent of usefulness, but what they do have in common are loads of charm and a good dose of nostalgia.

Q: Find what 2 numbers add to something and multiply to something Hey so I'm making a factoring program and I'm wondering if anyone can give me any ideas on an efficient way to find what two numbers multiple to a specified number, and also add to a specified number.
for example I may have
(a)(b) = 6
a + b = 5
So essentially i just need a way to find the a and b values. In this case they would be 2 and 3.
Can anyone give me any ideas on where to start? Negative numbers must also be considered for use.

A: There is no need to loop, just use simple math to solve this equation system:
a*b = i;
a+b = j;
a = j/b;
a = i-b;
j/b = i-b; so:
b + j/b + i = 0
b^2 + i*b + j = 0
From here, its a quadratic equation, and it's trivial to find b (just implement the quadratic equation formula) and from there get the value for a.
There you go:
function finder($add,$product)
{

 $inside_root = $add*$add - 4*$product;

 if($inside_root >=0)
 {

     $b = ($add + sqrt($inside_root))/2;
     $a = $add - $b;

     echo "$a+$b = $add and $a*$b=$product\n";

 }else
 {
   echo "No real solution\n";
 }
}

Real live action:
http://codepad.org/JBxMgHBd

A: Here is how I would do that:
$sum = 5;
$product = 6;

$found = FALSE;
for ($a = 1; $a < $sum; $a++) {
  $b = $sum - $a;
  if ($a * $b == $product) {
    $found = TRUE;
    break;
  }
}

if ($found) {
  echo "The answer is a = $a, b = $b.";
} else {
  echo "There is no answer where a and b are both integers.";
}

Basically, start at $a = 1 and $b = $sum - $a, step through it one at a time since we know then that $a + $b == $sum is always true, and multiply $a and $b to see if they equal $product. If they do, that's the answer.
See it working
Whether that is the most efficient method is very much debatable.

A: With the multiplication, I recommend using the modulo operator (%) to determine which numbers divide evenly into the target number like:
$factors = array();
for($i = 0; $i < $target; $i++){
    if($target % $i == 0){
        $temp = array()
        $a = $i;
        $b = $target / $i;
        $temp["a"] = $a;
        $temp["b"] = $b;
        $temp["index"] = $i;
        array_push($factors, $temp);
    }
}

This would leave you with an array of factors of the target number.

A: That's basically a set of 2 simultaneous equations:
x*y = a
X+y = b

(using the mathematical convention of x and y for the variables to solve and a and b for arbitrary constants).
But the solution involves a quadratic equation (because of the x*y), so depending on the actual values of a and b, there may not be a solution, or there may be multiple solutions.

Algeria cut keeper Zemmamouche from squad
By | Reuters
ALGIERS (Reuters) - Goalkeeper Mohamed Lamine Zemmamouche was the only exclusion as Algeria finalized their 23-man squad for the World Cup, dropping out of the party that had been preparing in Switzerland and Germany.
Coach Rabah Saadane had named an original 25-man preliminary squad for pre-tournament preparations at altitude at Crans-Montana.
The decision last week to withdraw Lazio midfielder Mourad Meghni because of persistent injury left him with just 24 players and Saadane had the simple tasking of reducing his goalkeepers from four to three for the trip to South Africa.
The list includes nine players who have switched their allegiance from France to the north African country after previously being capped at junior level by the French.
Algeria's squad features just three home based players and none from newly crowned league champions Mouloudia Alger.
Algeria meet Slovenia on June 13 in their opening World Cup Group C match, followed by games against England and the United States.
Goalkeepers: Faouzi Chaouchi (Entente Setif), Lounes Gaouaoui (ASO Chlef), Rais Ouheb Mbouli (Slavia Sofia).
Defenders: Habib Belaid (Boulogne-sur-Mer), Nader Belhadj (Portsmouth), Majid Bougherra (Rangers), Rafik Halliche

FM, or frequency modulation, frequencies run at 200 kHz intervals from 88MHz to 108MHz. The odd internals, such as 92.9 and 107.7, allow for minimal interference. A homemade aluminium foil antenna is a cheap and easy way to boost the reception of those signals to a FM radio.
FM, or frequency modulation, frequencies run at 200 kHz intervals from 88MHz to 108MHz.
A homemade aluminium foil antenna is a cheap and easy way to boost the reception of those signals to a FM radio.
FM radio signals are released in a straight line. This means that the farther away a radio, or receiver, is from the FM station, the higher the antenna must be to get the signal. A homemade antenna made from aluminium foil is used to extend the height of the receiver to reach FM signals.
There are two common methods to create a homemade FM radio antenna from aluminium foil. The first method is to attach a simple aluminium foil flag to the end of the current antenna. According to Broadcast Board of Governors, two pieces of aluminium foil, that are the same size in length and width as the radio receiver, can be used to create a homemade interference-reducing antenna by placing one underneath the receiver and attaching one off to the side.
An antenna, whether homemade or purchased, is just one part of a FM radio. The FM Reception Guide suggests that in addition to an antenna, a quality FM tuner or receiver and a coaxial cable that runs from the antenna to the tuner will contribute to the success of the aluminium antenna.

Tick-Tock: House Adjourns For The Night After McCarthy Loses 6th Speaker Vote
By Daniel Chaitin
(Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
After House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) suffered defeat six times in two days in his quest to become speaker, the lower chamber adjourned until Thursday.
The House narrowly voted Wednesday evening to go back into session at noon in Washington, D.C., giving members-elect more time to negotiate for a candidate who can secure a majority for the gavel. As of press time, McCarthy does not appear to have a deal to break the deadlock, but is not backing down either.
"I don't think a vote tonight will make a difference," McCarthy told reporters Wednesday evening, "but a vote in the future will."
Votes will continue for however many days it takes until a speaker is elected. House members cannot be sworn in until a speaker is chosen, holding up any legislative business and committee assignments in the 118th Congress. The threshold for a nominee to win the speaker's gavel is 218 votes, but that number decreases if members vote "present," decline to vote, or are absent.
Across two days of speaker votes, Democrats voted as a bloc to support Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) with 212 votes, while McCarthy only earned as many as 203 votes despite Republicans holding the majority.
In fact, McCarthy's numbers have decreased slightly — to 201 — as more votes were held. Twenty Republican defectors have rallied behind Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), who is starting his second term in Congress. Donalds stopped voting for McCarthy after two ballots and while Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) voted for McCarthy on Tuesday, she began voting "present" on Wednesday.
"We have a constitutional duty to elect the Speaker of the House, but we have to deliberate further as a Republican conference until we have enough votes and stop wasting everyone's time," Spartz said in a statement Wednesday. "None of the Republican candidates have this number yet. That's why I voted present after all votes were cast."
Former President Donald Trump sought to give McCarthy a boost before voting began Wednesday. "It's now time for all of our GREAT Republican House Members to VOTE FOR KEVIN, CLOSE THE DEAL, TAKE THE VICTORY," Trump said in a Truth Social post.
In nominating Donalds in the second ballot Wednesday, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) urged Trump to reconsider his endorsement of McCarthy.
"The president needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, 'Sir, you do not have the votes and it's time to withdraw,'" Boebert said.

After three votes on Tuesday, Trump called on House Republicans to rally behind his man. Trump mentioned Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who, after decades of leading the House Democrats, stood down for this new term to allow Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to take her place.
"It's now time for all of our GREAT Republican House Members to VOTE FOR KEVIN, CLOSE THE DEAL, TAKE THE VICTORY," Trump posted on Truth Social. "REPUBLICANS, DO NOT TURN A GREAT TRIUMPH INTO A GIANT & EMBARRASSING DEFEAT. IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE, YOU DESERVE IT. Kevin McCarthy will do a good job, and maybe even a GREAT JOB – JUST WATCH!"

The other Republican holdouts include Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ), Dan Bishop (NC), Josh Brecheen (OK), Mike Cloud (TX), Andrew Clyde (GA), Eli Crane (AZ), Matt Gaetz (FL), Bob Good (VA), Paul Gosar (AZ), Andy Harris (MD), Anna Paulina Luna (FL), Mary Miller (IL), Ralph Norman (SC), Andy Ogles (TN), Scott Perry (PA), Matt Rosendale (MT), Chip Roy (TX), and Keith Self (TX).
Various media reports indicate a number of reasons for them withholding support for McCarthy, including unsatisfied demands for rules changes or personal gains such as certain chairmanships. Some Republicans appear to oppose McCarthy no matter what.
While the House took an hours-long recess on Wednesday, negotiators reached at least one breakthrough pushed by Roy, according to CNN's Manu Raju.
The McCarthy-aligned Super PAC Congressional Leadership Fund reached a deal with the Club for Growth to support McCarthy in exchange for CLF agreeing not to spend money or resources in any open-seat primaries in safe Republican districts.
McCarthy-aligned big spender CLF and right-wing Club For Growth say they have a deal to jointly support McCarthy for Speaker.
"CLF will not spend in any open-seat primaries in safe Republican districts and CLF will not grant resources to other super PAC's to do so," it says. pic.twitter.com/p9FZ1QGtiD

With McCarthy's quest to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as speaker in doubt, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) told CNN on Wednesday that McCarthy "needs to make a deal … or he needs to step aside."
As McCarthy's fifth bid for speaker fails in The House, GOP @RepKenBuck tells CNN he told the embattled GOP congressman that he "needs to make a deal… or he needs to step aside." I pressed Buck on whether he sees a viable path for another possible candidate: Rep. Steve Scalise. pic.twitter.com/z7nAuufSjB
— Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) January 4, 2023
In another CNN interview, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said that "preliminary" talks with Democrats have begun for a "consensus candidate," according to The Hill. Democrats have also suggested a deal to make McCarthy speaker, though likely at the cost of more GOP votes, per Bloomberg.
Other names that have been floated as possible candidates include Louisiana's Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), and even newly-retired Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), as a speaker does not have to be an elected member of the House. Before settling on Donalds, the GOP defectors coalesced behind Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who so far has voted for McCarthy.

Diabolik is a criminal mastermind and antihero who has appeared in Italian comic books since 1962, in the film Danger: Diabolik (1968), in an animated series on Fox: Kids (2000), and in the computer game Diabolik: The Original Sin (2009). There have also been Italian radio series (2000, 2002) and novels (1967-71).
Diabolik was raised as an orphan by a crime syndicate and learned serious criminal skills before killing the head of the combine. His real name is unknown. He's aided by Eva Kant, his partner and lover. He is a master of disguise and criminal genius, and (especially in his early years, and the film Danger: Diabolik) was prepared to kill anyone who got in his way, though his main targets are usually crime bosses and other undesirables. He usually wears black skin-tight costume and drives a black E-type Jaguar. He and Eva often use realistic masks to disguise themselves as other people (see Mission Impossible and other uses of this gimmick), sometimes to impersonate officials, occasionally just to allow them to move in public without being spotted.
Most of their adventures are set in Clerville, a city in an unnamed European nation. Their most common opponent is Inspector Ginko, a ruthless but honest cop.
There appears to be no active on-line English-language fandom for these works, although the comics have appeared in translation in India and the USA and the film is available on DVD and has been shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000. There appear to be no relevant works archived on AO3 or Fanfiction.net, but the search is made difficult by an otherwise unrelated anime series Diabolik Lovers. There is an Italian fan club that has an annual convention, and a small amount of fanfic can be found on Italian sites.
Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother) appears to be a fan, with a Diabolik poster on his bedroom wall.

"At first, when I was being recruited in high school, I was like, 'Man, they keep comparing me to this band!'" Miller said. Eventually, people started compiling football highlight tapes of Miller with "The Joker" as background music.
The younger Steve Miller took it all in stride. He's kind of used to being around famous names. After all, he grew up in Canton, Ohio, playing his high school games for Canton McKinley at the same stadium where the Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition is played every year.
"I used to work at the Hall of Fame Game during that weekend sometimes," Miller said, "setting up the chairs and stuff."
Miller went from there to Ohio State, where he didn't start until his senior season in 2014. But what a senior season it was. The Buckeyes won the national championship, and Miller had a huge contribution with a 41-yard interception return for a touchdown against Alabama quarterback Blake Sims in the national semifinal.
That was one of Miller's few big plays of the year, though, and it wasn't enough to get him drafted. The Panthers picked him up as a rookie free agent in early May.
The first touchdown Steve Miller scored at any level of football was the 41-yard interception return for a touchdown he had for Ohio State against Alabama in the national semifinal last season.
In his first exhibition Aug. 14, Miller played 19 snaps and sacked the quarterback on one of them in Carolina's 25-24 win at Buffalo. Panthers announcer Mick Mixon couldn't resist after Miller's sack, noting that Miller had been "flying like an eagle" on his way to the tackle.
Said Miller of his performance: " It felt pretty good. I'd say I did all right. I thought it was going to be a little rough at first, but it really wasn't that bad."
At 260 pounds, Miller doesn't have great bulk for a defensive end. He said he is working on "everything" and that his strength is that he goes "100 miles per hour" on every play. But to make this team – or at least make its practice squad – he will need to make several more splashy plays like that sack.
The first NFL cut looms Sept. 1, when teams have to reduce their rosters to 75 players. Yet I can guarantee you Steve Miller will be playing in North Carolina on Sept. 3, the night of the Panthers' last exhibition.
Well, space cowboy, the Steve Miller Band has a concert at 8 p.m. Sept. 3 in Cherokee, at the Harrah's Cherokee resort.
The Panthers, meanwhile, will play their final exhibition the exact same night at 7:30 in Pittsburgh. Shortly after that, they will slice their roster to 53 players.
This Steve Miller is a long shot, for sure.
But who would have thought the other Steve Miller, at age 71, still would be touring in 2015 and opening many big shows for Journey? He is, though.
And who knows? Maybe this Steve Miller can make the Panthers, claiming the name for his own. A big game against Miami would be a great start.

Q: How to properly display icons in selfmade Windows Explorer? I am working in C# WinForms. I have made a Windows Explorer that displays the logical directories and then when clicked on them, it shows the files in them in a ListView (old but tricky thing). I get the icons from the system, using:
Icon iconForFile = SystemIcons.WinLogo;
ListViewItem lv = new ListViewItem(filData, imageList1.Images.Count);
lv.Tag = file;
iconForFile = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(file);
string Extension = Path.GetExtension(file);

if (!imageList1.Images.ContainsKey(file))
{
    // If not, add the image to the image list.
    iconForFile = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(file);
    imageList1.Images.Add(file, iconForFile);
}

lv.ImageKey = file;
listView1.SmallImageList = imageList1;

Now the problem is this: it does show the icons when a directory at first-level is clicked but when I click the folders in any directory (ie. "C"), it doesn't show the icons in the subfolders of a directory. Please help me on how I can customize it. My full code is somewhat like this:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()

        InitializeComponent();
        PopulateTreeView(treeView1);

    }

    private void listView1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {

        AddFiles(e.Node.FullPath.ToString());
    }
}

A: for anyone still seeing this as an answer to a search, the assignment of the imagelist needs to be done before the items are added to the imagelist.
private void AddFiles(string strPath)
{
    try
    {
        listView1.BeginUpdate();
        listView1.Items.Clear();
        listView1.SmallImageList = imageList1;

Susan Bysiewicz to explore run for Connecticut state Senate
Veteran politician, city native Susan Bysiewicz considering a run for state Senate in 2018

Attorney, former secretary of the state and Middletown native Susan Bysiewicz, a Democrat, announced Tuesday she has formed an exploratory committee to run for Republican state Sen. Len Suzio's seat in the 13th District.Cassandra Day — The Middletown Press
MIDDLETOWN >> Former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz is filing paperwork to explore a run for the state's 13th Senate District in 2018.
"The day after the national election, I woke up and was disappointed to find out who our new president would be and even more disappointed to find out who our new senator would be," the Middletown native said Tuesday. "After having served as a state representative from Middletown and also secretary of the state, Middletown was rarely in a situation when we had a Republican senator."
State Sen. Len Suzio of Meriden won the November election against incumbent Democratic state Sen. Danté Bartolomeo, who had unseated him in 2012. He first took office in 2011 after winning a special election after former state Sen. Thomas Gaffey pleaded guilty to misdemeanor larceny charges.
"We really need a leader in Hartford who will focus on job creation first and foremost," the 55-year-old Bysiewicz said Tuesday.
Bysiewicz, who said she'll seek public financing, is looking forward to being able to go door-knocking in the district, which comprises Meriden, Middletown, Cheshire and Middlefield. She said people started calling her immediately after the election asking if she would consider running for the seat.
"It was like, 'Oh, my gosh, what has happened? What are we going to do? How are we going to get this back?'" she said.
Bysiewicz, who said she believes Suzio doesn't have the values of the district at heart, points to what she calls his "very extremist agenda."
"If my agenda were extreme, I wouldn't even have a chance in this district, which is overwhelmingly Democrat," Suzio said in response. "But even when I lost, I lost by a whisker in a district that should be slam-dunk Democrat. In fact, I'm the only Republican that's won in 47 years.
"If she's saying my agenda is extreme, well, then she's saying something about the voters that voted for me," Suzio said. "I had to have had thousands and thousands of Democrats who crossed over and voted for me. So I think she's disparaging her own voters."
Bysiewicz said she'll work to create more opportunities for workers. Since 2008, both Meriden and Middletown "have lost thousands of jobs and haven't gained them back yet — some but not all," said Bysiewicz, who has been an attorney in private practice for the past five years. During that time, she has aided small-business owners in getting access to private capital or economic development funding from the state, she said.
"I helped over 50 companies create hundreds of jobs and we've gotten access to millions of dollars in funding to expand and grow their businesses," Bysiewicz said.
While secretary of the state, Bysiewicz said she spent lot of time helping women-owned, veteran-owned and minority-owned businesses.
"I contrast that with Suzio's record of leading a company that sells log homes into bankruptcy and creating an environmental disaster for people in Great Barrington (Massachusetts) and, even worse, stiffing taxpayers, to the tune of $300,000, who put down money to purchase those log homes and they never received them."
Suzio said that's the favorite thing to do for Democrats when they have nothing else to do — go back in time.
"They try to go back to something that happened 25 or 30 years ago which they totally misrepresent, too," he said.
Bysiewicz cites Suzio's town hall meeting at the Russell Library in January, during which several hundred people turned up to ask questions about the Proposed H.B. 5566 that would require parental notification for minors seeking abortions.
She didn't attend that event but did take part in the Middlefield town hall days later.
"It was very clear to me that he is very out of step with what people want in this district," she said. "I asked would he support choice law in Connecticut. He didn't answer."
In the early 1990s, women's privacy rights were settled by the passage of Roe v. Wade, she said.
"Since then, there have always been attempts to weaken that law or cut back on it and as soon as Sen. Suzio was sworn in, he put in a bill to cut back on the right to choose and to require parental consent," Bysiewicz said.
Suzio said his bill would only require parental notification, not consent.
"If a 13-, 14- or 15-year-old is about to have a surgical abortion, the proposed legislation is set up so parents would get involved," Suzio said. "It would provide an opt-out if their child is in some kind of abusive situation. There is a proceeding she would go to that would not require a parent to even be aware of it."
Suzio said most people think parents should be involved in a big decision like that.
"She wants to focus on issues like that because she's running away from her own disastrous public record," he said. "She is a tax-and-spend liberal who doesn't want to talk about the real important issues: jobs and taxes and crime."
As a mother of three, whose two daughters graduated from college in 2013 and 2015 and whose son will earn his degree this spring, Bysiewicz said, "if we want a vibrant economy, then we need to keep young people in Connecticut. I live this. I see my children and my friends looking for jobs that are good-paying and struggling with how expensive it is to live in our state."
Bysiewicz said initiatives like the bill House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz has sponsored that would offer college graduates a five-year tax credit if they remain living and working in the state after earning their degree are essential to retain residents.
"We're not going to attract young people and keep them here unless we have creative ideas like that one," she said.
Meanwhile, she is eager to get out and talk to voters.
"If you really want to know what people are thinking, they're happy to tell you but you've got to go to their home and ask them," she said. "That's where I got my best ideas."
Bysiewicz served three terms as a state legislator from 1992-98 in the 100th House District, covering Middletown, Durham and Middlefield. She was elected to the secretary of the state's job in 1998 after losing the Democratic Party's nomination and winning a primary against Ellen Scalettar. She served the state in that position for 12 years.
Bysiewicz failed to get the Democratic nomination in 2012 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Chris Murphy.
She was inspired to go into public service after meeting then-Gov. Ella Grasso the summer after her junior year in high school in 1978, Bysiewicz has said.
She graduated from Yale University and got her law degree at Duke University, where she met her husband, David Donaldson.


Would you recommend 5Slides to a friend?
I found this product a year ago, when it was first hunted. I used it to summarize an idea I had at an event, made 5 slides on the go and pitched an investor. I got a follow up meeting and we are now collaborating on the idea. I am really bad in design, so it makes it easy for me to make pretty slides with little effort. It's mobile only, so it's really for making quick slides on the go when you want to make an impression. I have also used it to summarize speeches at tech conferences so I can share it immediately on twitter. They have added new features like voice overs that were not in the original version and that's why I am hunting it again. It's a great tool that forces you to present your ideas in a concise manner, great for hackathons.
