Fox News, Fox hosts, Giuliani and Powell named in $US2.7 billion libel suit by Smartmatic voting company
The complaint also alleges that Fox hosts Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro also directly benefited from their involvement in the conspiracy. The lawsuit alleges that Fox went along with the "well-orchestrated dance" due to pressure from newcomer outlets such as Newsmax and One America News, which were stealing away conservative, pro-Trump viewers. Fox News Media, in a statement on behalf of the network and its hosts, rejected the accusations. It said it is proud of its election coverage and would defend itself against the "meritless" lawsuit in court. Fox "is committed to providing the full context of every story with in-depth reporting and clear opinion," the company said in a written statement. Giuliani and Powell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

US voter suppression: why this Texas woman is facing five years' prison | US news | The Guardian
The land of the free where all citizens aren't equal (ODT)
Fort Worth is suffering a crisis of democracy – just 6% of electors voted in the last midterms – so why is it aggressively pursuing those who mistakenly cast ballots?

When Crystal Mason appears in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, this week she has been warned by her lawyers to be prepared for the worst. Pack a bag, they told her, talk to your children, be ready to go to prison.
As the clock ticks down to her court hearing on 30 August, she finds herself unable to take that advice. "No, I'm not prepared! I can't go to prison. I'm not leaving my kids," she said.
Mason, a 43-year-old mother of three, has been sentenced to five years in Texas state penitentiary – with extra time pending in federal lock-up. All because she committed the crime of voting.
On 8 November 2016, as the world waited with bated breath for the outcome of the Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton election, she walked to her local Fort Worth polling station to perform her civic duty as a US citizen. To her surprise, her name wasn't registered on the voting rolls, so she cast a provisional ballot pending further checks.

In the small print of the form it read: "I understand that it is a felony of the 2nd degree to vote in an election for which I know I am not eligible." She didn't read those words, focused as she was on correctly entering her personal details.

30 plus reasons why you shouldn't vote for an incumbent government who couldn't govern a kindergarten – » The Australian Independent Media Network
Two things stood out during the by-elections. Firstly the importance they made of the constant flow of polls, and secondly, the "Kill Bill" campaigns.
Murdoch news continued to push them as though they were God's gift to determining the winner – and they didn't.
Again, despite having run the same course many times the "Kill Bill" campaign by Newscorp and others, yet again fell flat because Australians don't like "playing the man." The naming of Bill Shorten as a liar every day by the PM doesn't cut with a lot of people, and he would be well advised to stop.
The importance of reporting factually what was said, or the truth or otherwise of it, seemed to take second place to whatever controversy could be manufactured.
The media do it because they like to think they alone have the power to elect governments, forgetting that it is the public that votes them in or out.
Finding the truth and reporting it should be more important than creating a narrative where controversy matters more.
But Newscorp has started its pre-election propaganda in earnest. Not even the failure to influence will stop them.
So the average punter would be well aware of the many national issues that the country faces. The first question they might ask is:

Whitiwhitia i te ora! : culture and occupational therapy : a Māori case study : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Māori Studies at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand : Masters in Philosophy at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand
01_front.pdf (85.72Kb)
This master"s research reports the findings of a mixed methodology study based on qualitative and quantitative data that considers culture in occupational therapy practice from a Māori perspective. Health perspectives of Māori and occupational therapy are explored and similarities identified. Tangata whaiora responsive practice (client-centred), holistic and wairua (spiritual) views are mutual themes. Whenua/taiao and environment also held great significance for both Māori and the profession, though occupational therapy modified the environment to enable safety, whereas Māori negotiate with the environment prior to making it safe. The major differences, in perspectives, were the recognition of whānau and the interdependent relationships so critical to whānau and whānau ora, with occupation identified as a significant perspective not supported as so significant to Māori practitioners. The implications of these differences were explored in this dissertation. Eighteen occupational therapists self-selected to participate in a questionnaire given out at a professional conference workshop on culture, and this was forwarded to further participants who expressed an interest. Some of the respondents self-identified as Māori. Five specialists were identified to interview: three occupational therapists, two Māori health specialists, one an occupational therapy specialist who was Pākehā. A professional workshop of around 24 participants, self identifying as Pākehā, also contributed to the identification of health perspectives. The final source of information came from the researcher"s participation in numerous hui of varying sorts where Māori health was forwarded. Where appropriate, and in order to provide greater substance and depth to the research, selected quotes from these sources are used. These are further designed to bring a more personal feel to the research and to illustrate how the various concepts impact on lives and ultimately influence practice. iv Traditional practice and Māori understandings of occupation were also explored as were the development needs of Māori occupational therapists as minor themes to the key findings. Providing holistic occupational therapy care to Māori in a respectful and collaborative way will provide opportunities for the profession to have a positive impact on the health of individuals, their whānau and, in turn, their communities, hapū and iwi.

Roger Federer notched a record 234th grand slam match win, surpassing Jimmy Connors' professional-era record, against Adrian Ungur. The 16-time grand slam champion was unfazed by his third-set wobble, putting it down to early tournament rustiness: "I think it is a bit easier now, just because I have been around for so long that, even though I expect myself to win, I can still manage to do that," the No. 3 seed said. "Whereas in the beginning when you think you're good but you're maybe not that good yet, you suffer many more surprise losses."
Novak Djokovic came through in straight sets against Blaz Kavcic 6-0 6-4 6-4 but blamed himself for making heavy weather of the second and third sets. "I stopped," Djokovic said. "I gave him the opportunity to come back into the match after a perfect first seven games. Everything [else] is working great, I am feeling better and better every match. I was working very hard on my serve in the last two years and I am happy to see that I have got my serve to a very high level even on clay courts."
World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka confessed Wednesday's second-round match with Dinah Pfizenmaier was something of a getting-to-know-you session: "I didn't really know my opponent today, and it took me the first few games to kind of understand what she does and what kind of game she plays to adjust a little bit," Azarenka said. "But after a few games I started to find my better rhythm. Definitely played much better today."
Venus Williams refused to feel sorry for herself after her second-round defeat to Agnieszka Radwanska: "Obviously it is frustrating at times. I don't know if there is anything more mentally I can do at this point but there are a lot of stages to go through with this kind of thing," she said. "But there are a lot of people who have it a lot worse than I do. I am still playing a professional sport. I haven't gotten to the 'why me?' yet, I hope I never get to the 'why me?'. I am not allowed to feel sorry for myself."
Nicolas Devilder, who upset Michael Berrer, is relishing the chance to face world No. 1 Djokovic after reaching the third round of a grand slam for the first time: "I'm very happy to advance the third round because obviously this is the first time in a grand slam. So being able to experience this after three difficult years with many injuries, obviously that's very nice. I'm very happy. I'm going to play Djokovic in the next round. Well, what better could I have wished for?"
Juan Martin Del Potro admits he is struggling with his left knee after battling past France's Edouard Roger-Vasselin in four sets: "What I try and do is not to think about it. I try and do my best with my tennis. And when I'm out there on the court I try not to think too much about the fact that it really bothers me."
Former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic was a comfortable winner over Shahar Peer, and she is confident ahead of tougher tests to come: "Even though I lost some matches I should have won or I should have put myself in a better position, I still felt always like I was improving with each week," Ivanovic said. "That gives me confidence. Now I'm starting to play a lot freer and enjoying the competition and building points."
Michael Llodra admitted he was well beaten as he surrendered to a straight-sets defeat to seventh seed Tomas Berdych: "I tried to return with a return volley, return volley, but he's so powerful. I wanted to chip the balls a little, to change the pace, but it was never good enough to bother him ... He's a serious client. He's shown this in the recent weeks. There's not much I could do or could have done."

Montclair State University Announces New Provost
Junius Gonzales has been named Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
Montclair State University President Jonathan Koppell announced that Junius Gonzales, MD, MBA, has been named provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, effective March 7, 2022.
As the second-highest ranking officer of the University, Gonzales will lead the University's 10 colleges and schools, which offer more than 300 academic degree programs serving some 21,000 students, the second-largest enrollment at any higher education institution in New Jersey.
"I am thrilled that Junius Gonzales will be joining the senior leadership team. His broad-ranging experience, track record of innovation, and his commitment to working collaboratively to support students and faculty will positively impact the entire University community," says Koppell. "I am looking forward to working closely with him as we elevate Montclair to become a national model of an innovative 21st-century public university."
Over a distinguished 30-year career, Gonzales has worked as a faculty member, researcher, consultant and senior administrator. He currently serves as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at the New York Institute of Technology.
Gonzales brings extensive experience as a leader in higher education. He has served as the chief academic officer at the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP), a Hispanic-Serving Institution, which like Montclair is committed to serving a diverse 21st-century student demographic and one that has achieved R1 designation as a top tier research university. Gonzales led efforts at UTEP that significantly increased student retention and degree completion, expanded online programs, and helped to increase faculty and student research.
He also held the position of Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs in the University of North Carolina System, one of the nation's largest, comprising 16 colleges and universities and one residential high school that together enroll some 235,000 students. In 2016 he served as the UNC System's interim president.
"Joining Montclair State University is a tremendous honor," Gonzales says. "I am impressed by Montclair's rising trajectory, which includes outstanding student success, remarkable growth in research and scholarship, and increasing recognition in national rankings. The University's designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, its diversity and inclusivity, and its sense of community and belonging resonate deeply with me, given my personal journey as a first-generation college student from a minority background.
"I was raised by a single mother, and we never had much money, but the small clusters of immigrants who shared the tenements we lived in helped to care for each other, in spite of harsh, often ongoing, forces, creating a lasting lesson for me on the importance of community and empathy. My lived experiences as a student, especially from college on, taught me the power of inclusion, of being treated with kindness and equality, which overpowered those times when I was not and helped me reconcile my worries about measuring up because I started with many less resources. I recognize the undeniable privilege I had by attending elite universities – one that still brings benefits – and I work committedly to pay it forward by doing all I can to listen closely and ensure that every employee, every student and their family feels welcomed, included and supported.
"I am excited and humbled to have the chance to work with President Koppell and the senior team as together we contribute to Montclair's growing reputation for providing great value and equity, partnering with communities to solve critical problems, and supporting students to take great leaps forward."
Gonzales began his career as a psychiatrist who treated patients and conducted research in Georgetown University's academic medical center before joining the National Institutes of Health, where he rose to become Director of the Division of Services and Intervention Research in the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), overseeing a $250 million research portfolio that included the largest-ever federally funded studies of the comparative effectiveness of different treatments for mental health disorders.
After serving at NIMH, Gonzales worked as a Principal at Abt Associates, a consulting firm, advising private and public sector organizations on matters related to scientific research and health care, then returned to higher education as a dean at the University of South Florida, where his accomplishments included creating and leading a new college, the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences, which served nearly 3,000 students in nationally ranked academic programs and provided the second-largest source of research funding in the entire university.
His research interests include mental health disparities among the Latinx population, the treatment of depression, and non-cognitive factors that influence college student success. He has received $15 million in research funding from sources that include the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Gates Foundation and published more than 50 scholarly papers and book chapters.
Gonzales has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades, including the New York Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's 2021 Educational Excellence Award, which will be presented today. He has also served on national committees for federal agencies such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and for higher education associations such as the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities.
He holds degrees from Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and the University of Maryland. He received advanced training in psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Gonzales succeeds Kimberly Hollister, who since July has served as Acting Provost over the last six months, after Willard Gingerich stepped down to return to the faculty as a professor of English.

Face It: Batman is Hopeless
by Kali Tuttle · October 1, 2018
There's been a lot of stir lately about the famous caped hero we call Batman. We've been given a look at our new Joker, Joaquin Phoenix, and Zack Snyder, director of the most recent Batman movie, released set photos of Ben Affleck of Batman, and even Tommy Wiseau has gotten in on the action by giving us his best Joker impression.
Maybe about a decade ago, this would have excited me. Batman is pretty cool, after all. Who doesn't want to be a rich dude who basically just wanders around at night in a costume beating up bad guys? That's pretty awesome right there.
But ever since Ben Affleck took over, Jared Leto's almost cringey Joker performance, and that horrid film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), I just can't get myself excited over Batman anymore.
It's a Lot to Live Up to
Maybe I'm being too harsh on the new Batman. After all, I grew up with the Christopher Nolan trilogy. I think I speak for almost everyone when I say that any Batman movie starring Christian Bale is at the top of the pack. The Dark Knight (2008) will always be a prime example of cinematic excellence.
Watching an aging Ben Affleck toddle around the streets of Gotham in a mech Batman suit just isn't appealing anymore. The drama is manufactured and the plot is watered down in favor of special effects. Don't even get me started on Affleck's pathetic attempt at the Batman voice.
Image via AV News
To me, it's not a Batman movie without a heart-pounding score. It's not Batman without the suave ladies man we call Bruce Wayne, the one with the nice hair and who doesn't look like he's at least ten years over the hill. It's not Batman without Michael Caine as Alfred or Heath Ledger as the Joker. And it certainly isn't Batman without the examination of the darkest parts of humanity, all highlighted by perfectly choppy cinematography and wicked lighting.
We need to talk about this movie: it was awful. From the wildly unfocused plot to the hilariously contrived fight between the titular characters, I had no idea what was going on; I was unsure if what I was watching was really a Batman movie or just a bad parody of one.
I've never been more confused watching a movie. Why were they fighting again? What's going on? Who's that? Wait, when did Wonder Woman get involved? Seriously, was this movie thrown together by a teenager in the cutting room who just spliced together whatever looked good?
While I'm sure a showdown such as this happened in the comics, we're not going into that right now. What I want to get into is how coincidental that this movie came out the same year as Captain America: Civil War (2016). It seemed that director Zack Snyder was trying to beat Marvel to the punch on this one. Because of it, the quality of the movie had to suffer.
But honestly, this diatribe is quite tired at this point, just like the character as a whole.
Batman Can't Beat Marvel…At Least Not Right Now
There was a time when more people would rush to the theaters for a DC movie than a Marvel one, but that time has passed. Marvel has made a name for itself in Hollywood and no one can top them right now. Plus, they're owned by Disney, and if there's one thing we've learned about Disney it's that they know how to edge out competition (now whether this is done by mind control is yet to be determined).
DC just can't compete with the branding, the advertising, and the overall quality of Marvel movies right now. Everyone is tired of DC's repeated attempts to become relevant again. Sure, we were crazy about them ten years ago with the old Batman movies. We even got a little excited when they released Man of Steel (2013). But, in the end, we still gravitated back to old favorites like Iron Man and Captain America.
Image via The Daily Dot
Honestly, this isn't DC's fault. No one can beat Marvel right now and probably won't be able to until they retire the original Avengers. Though that time is not far away, it's still going to be a long time before people regain their interest in Batman or even whatever version of a DC Universe that Warner Bros. throws at us again.
Dear DC: Please Pick Better Actors
Whether DC just makes really bad choices or they're just limited in their options right now (Marvel has a good chunk of Hollywood under contract), they've picked some really bad actors for these roles. Ben Affleck as Batman is possibly the most bland casting I've ever heard of. I'm sorry to say it, but he's just too old for these roles now. If this had been twenty years ago and he was coming straight from Armageddon (1998), I could've swallowed it. But Ben Affleck is 46 years old and he's just a little to over the hill to convince me that he is the famed Bruce Wayne.
Image via Variety
But I can't just pick on Affleck — I need to address whatever it is DC thinks they're doing with the Joker. First of all, who gave Jared Leto the green light to play the Joker? He was good in Requiem for a Dream (2000), in fact, it was his best performance. But his performance as the Joker? Dreadfully unconvincing. It reminded me of a teenage boy doing a Joker impression on Snapchat for his friends.
And now we have Joaquin Phoenix. To be honest, I don't know exactly how I feel about this casting choice; I just know that I don't feel good about it. I liked him in Gladiator (2000) like everyone else, but I just don't know if Phoenix can pull off this role. I'm already not a fan of the makeup job that they gave him for the upcoming film. I'll go into it with an open mind, but I fear for DC's credibility.
Pessimism or Healthy Skepticism?
Look, I'm no superfan of Batman. I enjoyed the Christopher Nolan trilogy and I like the concept of the superhero. The Dark Knight will always be a great film and one that deserves every bit of praise it gets.
So, the question is, am I just being a Debbie downer? Am I just enjoying berating a movie franchise that I find inferior to Marvel because it's the cool thing to do? Am I too far gone in my own opinions that I fail to take in any other perspectives?
Or do you all agree with me? I'm curious what others think. But, for now, my opinions are out there. Batman, for the moment, is hopeless.

While reading this article, they were so many moments of vigorous nodding in agreement. The Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale/Heath Ledger/Hans Zimmer combo is a tough one to beat. Dawn of Justice was an unspeakable tragedy and Justice League didn't fare much better. Affleck let us all down in Daredevil. Not sure why they let him play anymore heroes. Such a good article!

That's because it's true!

Nice post :). The Batman story is a lot longer than the dark night trilogy (I also loved it by the way), it's as long as Bruce Wayne using a walking stick, completely fucked up and injured from previous fights, and using his almost fully automatic Meca suit to stop criminals like the joker that, for some reason, keep busting out of Arkham. If you are into animated versions of superheroes try watching the DC animated Batman movies, you'll see Batman in his 20s, 30s,…, 60s
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to check those animated movies out

Q: adding value to title attribute in HTML Here I am trying to set title dynamically to the native drop-down to show tool-tip, but when I am trying to set title on hover I can't select any value from drop down options. That drop down is getting closed.
$(container).on("hover","select", function (e) {
  $(this).attr("title",$(this).val());
});

What can be the reason for this?

A: The $.on("hover") event was removed in jQuery 1.9.
You could try this:
$(container).hover(
  function() {
    $(this).attr("title", $(this).val());
  }, function() {
    $(this).attr("title", "");
  }
);

A: Try the mouseenter event - not sure whether some other script is closing the dropdown
$('body').on("mouseenter", "select", function (e) {
    $(this).attr("title", this.value);
});

\section{Introduction and Results}

A \emph{partition} of a positive integer $n$ is a way of writing $n$ as a sum of positive integers, usually written in non-increasing order of the summands or parts of the partition. The number of partitions of $n$ is denoted by $p(n)$. For a partition $\lambda$, we denote the number of parts in the partition as $n(\lambda)$ and the largest part as $l(\lambda)$.
\par
The celebrated Ramanujan's congruences for the partition function begged for a combinatorial interpretation:
\begin{align*}
p(5k+4) &\equiv 0 \pmod{5}, \\
p(7k+5) &\equiv 0 \pmod{7}, \\
p(11k+6) &\equiv 0 \pmod{11}.
\end{align*}
Dyson \cite{dyson} defined the rank of a partition $\lambda$ to be $l(\lambda) - n(\lambda)$ and conjectured that partitions for $5k+4$ and $7k+5$ can be divided into five and seven equal sub-classes respectively based on their rank. Specifically, he claimed that
\begin{align*}
N(s, 5, 5n+4) &= \frac{p(5n+4)}{5}, \\
N(t, 7, 7n+4) &= \frac{p(7n+6)}{7},
\end{align*}
where $N(s, m, n)$ denotes the number of partitions of $n$ with rank $s$ modulo $m$. Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer \cite{atkin} proved Dyson's conjecture by finding the generating functions for the rank differences $N(s, m, mk+d) - N(s, m, mk+d)$ for $k = 5, 7$. They obtained several other interesting identities apart from Ramanujan's congruences.
\par
Lovejoy and Osburn \cite{m2rankdiff} expanded on the work by Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer to find rank differences for overpartitions and $M_2$ rank differences for partitions without repeated odd parts, which is defined for such a partition $\lambda$ by $ \left \lceil \frac{l(\lambda)}{2} \right \rceil - n(\lambda) .$ The corresponding count for number of partitions of $n$ with no repeated odd parts having its $M_2$ rank congruent to $s$ modulo $m$ is given by $N_2(s, m, n)$. They obtained all the rank difference formulas corresponding to $m = 3, 5$.
\par
Continuing on their work, Mao \cite{mao10, maom2} extended the results for Dyson rank differences modulo $10$ and $M_2$ rank differences modulo $6$ and $10$. He obtained several interesting inequalities based on his results such as
\begin{align*}
N(1,10,5n+1)  & > N(5,10,5n+1), \\
N_2(0,6,3n+1) + N_2(1,6,3n+1) & > N_2(2,6,3n+1) + N_2(3,6,3n+1).
\end{align*}
\par
Mao also gave some conjectures in \cite{mao10, maom2} based on computational evidence, both for the Dyson rank and $M_2$ rank for partitions with unique odd parts.
\begin{conj}
Computation evidence suggests that
\begin{align}
\label{mao10 conj a}
N(0, 10, 5n) + N(1, 10, 5n) &> N(4, 10, 5n) + N(5, 10, 5n),\\
\label{mao10 conj b}
N(1, 10, 5n) + N(2, 10, 5n) &\ge N(3, 10, 5n) + N(4, 10, 5n), \\
\label{mao610 conj b}
N_2(0, 10, 5n) + N_2(1, 10, 5n) &> N_2(4, 10, 5n) + N_2(5, 10, 5n),\\
\label{mao610 conj c}
N_2(0, 10, 5n+4) + N_2(1, 10, 5n+4) &> N_2(4, 10, 5n+4) + N_2(5, 10, 5n+4),\\
\label{mao610 conj d}
N_2(1, 10, 5n) + N_2(2, 10, 5n) &> N_2(3, 10, 5n) + N_2(4, 10, 5n),\\
\label{mao610 conj e}
N_2(1, 10, 5n+2) + N_2(2, 10, 5n+2) &> N_2(3, 10, 5n+2) + N_2(4, 10, 5n+2), \\
\label{mao610 conj a}
N_2(0, 6, 3n+2) + N_2(1, 6, 3n+2) &> N_2(2, 6, 3n+2) + N_2(3, 6, 3n+2).
\end{align}
In \eqref{mao10 conj b}, \eqref{mao610 conj d}, and \eqref{mao610 conj e}, $n \ge 1$, whilst in the rest $n \ge 0$.
\end{conj}
Alwaise et. al. \cite[Theorem 1.3]{swisher} proved four of these seven inequalities conjectured by Mao, namely \eqref{mao10 conj a}, \eqref{mao10 conj b}, \eqref{mao610 conj b}, and \eqref{mao610 conj c} by using elementary methods based on the number of solutions of Diophantine equations solving for the exponents in the generating functions in the corresponding rank differences. They also observed that in \eqref{mao10 conj b}, the strict inequality holds. However, their methods weren't strong enough to prove the remaining three conjectures, which are still open. Here, we prove a limited version of \eqref{mao610 conj a}.
\begin{thm}\label{main}
Mao's conjecture \eqref{mao610 conj a} is true when $3 \nmid n + 1$. Specifically, we have that the following inequalities are true for all $n \ge 0$:
\begin{align}
N_2(0, 6, 9n+2) + N_2(1, 6, 9n+2) &> N_2(2, 6, 9n+2) + N_2(3, 6, 9n+2), \\
N_2(0, 6, 9n+5) + N_2(1, 6, 9n+5) &> N_2(2, 6, 9n+5) + N_2(3, 6, 9n+5).
\end{align}
\end{thm}
\section{Preliminaries}
The standard $q$-series notation is employed which is defined as
\begin{align*}
\qan{a}{n} &:= \prod_{i=0}^{n-1}(1-aq^i), \\
\qa{a} &:= \prod_{i=0}^\infty(1-aq^i),
\end{align*}
where $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $a \in \mathbb{C}$. The empty product $\qan{a}{0}$ is defined to be $1$.
\par
The following elementary identities are used in manipulation of $q$-series to prove equalities between expressions. For $a, b \in \mathbb{Z}$, $c \in \mathbb{C}$, and for $k \in \mathbb{N}$, we have
\begin{align}
\label{oddunique}
\qa{-q} \cdot \qna{q}{2} &= 1, \\
\label{squares}
\qna{q^a}{b} \qna{-q^a}{b} &= \qna{q^{2a}}{2b}, \\
\label{bisection}
\qna{cq^a}{2b}\qna{cq^{a+b}}{2b} &= \qna{cq^a}{b}, \\
\label{ksection}
\qna{cq^a}{kb}\cdots\qna{cq^{a+(k-1)b}}{kb} &= \qna{cq^a}{b}.
\end{align}
Further, we make use of the shorthand notation as employed by both Mao \cite{mao10, maom2} and Alwaise et. al. \cite{swisher}.
\begin{align*}
\qan{a_1, \dots, a_k}{n} &:= \qan{a_1}{n} \cdots \qan{a_k}{n}, \\
\qa{a_1, \dots, a_k} &:= \qa{a_1} \cdots \qa{a_k}, \\
J_b &:= \qna{q^b}{b}, \\
J_{a, b} &:= \qna{q^a, q^{b-a}, q^b}{b}. \\
\end{align*}
We will also use Mao's $M_2$ rank difference generating function to prove our result Theorem \ref{main}. Mao proved the following theorem which encapsulates the pertinent rank differences.
\begin{thm}[Mao \cite{maom2}]\label{maogf} We have
\begin{align*}
&\sum_{n \ge 0} \left ( N_2(0, 6, n) + N_2(1, 6, n) - N_2(2, 6, n) - N_2(3, 6, n) \right )q^n \\
&= \frac{1}{J_{9, 36}} \sum_{n = - \infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{18n^2+9n}}{1-q^{18n+3}} + q \frac{J_{6, 36}^2J_{18, 36}J_{36}^3}{J_{3, 36}^2J_{9, 36}J_{15, 36}^2}  \\
&+  \frac{J_{6, 36}J_{18, 36}^2J_{36}^3}{2qJ_{3, 36}^2J_{9, 36}J_{15, 36}^2} - \frac{1}{J_{9, 36}} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{18n^2+9n-1}}{1+q^{18n}}.
\end{align*}
\end{thm}
Apart from this, an identity of Ramanujan theta function is also used. The Ramanujan's general theta function $f(a, b)$ is defined as
\begin{align*}
f(a, b) &:= \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} a^{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}b^{\frac{n(n-1)}{2}}
= (-a, -b, ab; ab)_\infty
\end{align*}
with $|ab| < 1$ where the equality following through (and being equivalent to) Jacobi triple product identity. We will use the following two special cases of the theta function and the function $\chi(q)$ which are defined as
\begin{align}
\label{thetaid}
\varphi(q) &:= f(q, q) = \qna{-q, -q, q^2}{2}, \\
\label{psiid}
\psi(q) &:= f(q, q^3) = \frac{\qna{q^2}{2}}{\qna{q}{2}}, \\
\chi(q) &:= \qna{-q}{2}.
\end{align}
The following theta function identity is used in the proof of our main result.
\begin{thm}[Baruah and Barman \cite{barman}]\label{theta}
We have \[ \varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3) = 2\varphi^2(-q^6)\frac{\chi(q)\psi(-q^3)}{\chi(-q)\psi(q^3)}. \]
\end{thm}
\section{Proof of Theorem \ref{main}}
We denote $d(n) := N_2(0, 6, n) + N_2(1, 6, n) - N_2(2, 6, n) - N_2(3, 6, n)$ for simplicity. We will show that the generating function $\sum_{n\ge0}d(3n+2)q^n$ has strictly positive coefficients for all $n \not\equiv 2 \pmod{3}$. We first compute the generating function $\sum_{n\ge0}d(3n+2)q^n$ using Theorem \ref{maogf}.
\begin{prop}\label{gfprop}
We have
\begin{align*}\sum_{n \ge 0} d(3n+2) q^{n} = \frac{1}{qJ_{3,12}}  \left (\frac{J_{2, 12}J_{6, 12}^2J_{12}^3}{2J_{1, 12}^2J_{5, 12}^2} -  \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{6n^2+3n}}{1+q^{6n}} \right).
\end{align*}
\end{prop}
\begin{proof}
The proof is straightforward manipulation by including only exponents congruent to $2$ modulo $3$ in the original generating function, and then letting $q \mapsto
 q^{\frac{1}{3}}$ as follows:
 \begin{align*}
&\sum_{n \ge 0} d(3n+2) q^{3n+2}  = \frac{J_{6, 36}J_{18, 36}^2J_{36}^3}{2qJ_{3, 36}^2J_{9, 36}J_{15, 36}^2} - \frac{1}{J_{9, 36}} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{18n^2+9n-1}}{1+q^{18n}} \\
\implies &\sum_{n \ge 0} d(3n+2) q^{3n} = \frac{J_{6, 36}J_{18, 36}^2J_{36}^3}{2q^3J_{3, 36}^2J_{9, 36}J_{15, 36}^2} - \frac{1}{J_{9, 36}} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{18n^2+9n-3}}{1+q^{18n}} \\
\implies  &\sum_{n \ge 0} d(3n+2) q^{n} = \frac{J_{2, 12}J_{6, 12}^2J_{12}^3}{2qJ_{1, 12}^2J_{3, 12}J_{5, 12}^2} - \frac{1}{J_{3, 12}} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{6n^2+3n-1}}{1+q^{6n}}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\begin{remark}
Note that the while there is a $q$ in the denominator of the common factor above, it is canceled because the constant term of the expression inside the parentheses is zero.
\end{remark}
We will also need the following lemma which will tie together the proof:
\begin{lem}\label{phiid}
We have \[ \frac{J_{2, 12}J_{6, 12}^2J_{12}^3}{J_{1, 12}^2J_{5, 12}^2} = \frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{2}. \]
\end{lem}
\begin{proof}
We first write the expression in its constituent $q$-series and then use \eqref{squares} to cancel common factors in both numerator and denominator. We find that
\begin{align*}
\frac{J_{2, 12}J_{6, 12}^2J_{12}^3}{J_{1, 12}^2J_{5, 12}^2} &= \frac{\qna{q^2, q^{10}, q^{12}}{12}\qna{q^6, q^6, q^{12}}{12}^2\qna{q^{12}}{12}^3}{\qna{q,q^{11}, q^{12}}{12}^2\qna{q^5,q^7, q^{12}}{12}^2} \\
&= \frac{\qna{q^2, q^{10}}{12}\qna{q^6, q^6, q^{12}}{12}^2}{\qna{q,q^{7}}{12}^2\qna{q^5,q^{11}}{12}^2} \\
&= \varphi^2(-q^6)\frac{\qna{q, q^{5}}{6}\qna{-q, -q^{5}}{6}}{\qna{q}{6}^2\qna{q^5}{6}^2} \\
&= \varphi^2(-q^6)\frac{\qna{-q, -q^5}{6}}{\qna{q, q^5}{6}}. \end{align*}
We next use \eqref{ksection} to reduce the $q$-series by multiplying the missing factors in both numerator and denominator, and simplify the expression based on \eqref{psiid} which is based on \eqref{oddunique}, to finally recognize the identity in Theorem \ref{theta} as follows:
\begin{align*}
\frac{J_{2, 12}J_{6, 12}^2J_{12}^3}{J_{1, 12}^2J_{5, 12}^2} &= \varphi^2(-q^6)\frac{\qna{-q, -q^5}{6}}{\qna{q, q^5}{6}} \\
&= \varphi^2(-q^6)\frac{\qna{-q, -q^5}{6}\qna{-q^3}{6}\qna{q^3}{6}}{\qna{q, q^5}{6}\qna{q^3}{6}\qna{-q^3}{6}} \\
&= \varphi^2(-q^6)\frac{\qna{-q}{2}\qna{q^6}{6}\qna{q^3}{6}}{\qna{q}{2}\qna{-q^3}{6}\qna{q^6}{6}} \\
&= \varphi^2(-q^6)\frac{\chi(q)\psi(-q^3)}{\chi(-q)\psi(q^3)} \\
&= \frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{2} .
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
We now prove our result Theorem \ref{main}.
\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem \ref{main}] We use Lemma \ref{phiid} and note that all the exponents of the infinite summation inside the parentheses are $0 \pmod 3$. Hence,
\begin{align*}
\sum_{n \ge 0} d(3n+2) q^{n} &= \frac{1}{qJ_{3,12}}  \left (\frac{J_{2, 12}J_{6, 12}^2J_{12}^3}{2J_{1, 12}^2J_{5, 12}^2} -  \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{6n^2+3n}}{1+q^{6n}} \right ) \\
&= \frac{1}{qJ_{3,12}} \left ( \frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{4} - \frac{1}{2} + \sum_{n \ge 1} a_{3n}q^{3n} \right  ),
\end{align*}
where $a_{3n} \in \mathbb{Z}$.

Now let $3 \nmid n+1$, then
\begin{align*}
d(3n+2)  &= [q^{n}]  \frac{1}{qJ_{3,12}} \left ( \frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{4} - \frac{1}{2} + \sum_{n \ge 1} a_{3n}q^{3n} \right  ) \\
&= [q^{n+1}] \left ( \frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{4{J_{3,12}}} - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{J_{3,12}} \sum_{n \ge 1} a_{3n}q^{3n} \right  ) \\
&= [q^{n+1}]  \frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{4{J_{3,12}}} - [q^{n+1}] \frac{1}{2} + [q^{n+1}] \frac{1}{J_{3,12}} \sum_{n \ge 1} a_{3n}q^{3n} \\
&= [q^{n+1}]  \frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{4{J_{3,12}}}
\end{align*}
where $[x^k]f(x)$ denotes the coefficient of $x^k$ in the generating function $f(x)$.
It now suffices to show that all coefficients of $\frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{J_{3,12}}$ are positive. This follows as
\begin{align*}
\frac{\varphi^2(q) + \varphi^2(q^3)}{J_{3,12}} &= \frac{2 + 4q + 4q^2 + \sum_{n\ge3}b_nq^n}{(1-q^3)\qna{q^9, q^9, q^{12}}{12}} \\
&= \left(2 + 4q + 4q^2 + \sum_{n\ge3}b_nq^n\right)\left(\sum_{n \ge 0}q^{3n}\right)\left(1 + \sum_{n\ge0}c_nq^n\right)
\end{align*}
where $b_i$ and $c_i$ are non-negative. We can generate $q^{3n+k}$ using the above factors by $q^k$ from first, $q^{3n}$ from second, and $1$ from the last, where $k = 0, 1, 2$. This completes our proof for Theorem \ref{main}
\end{proof}

\section{Conclusion and Remarks}

The method employed by Alwaise et. al. doesn't work for this inequality because the expression inside the parentheses in Proposition \ref{gfprop} does seem to have negative coefficients for an infinite number of coefficients.

This result is limited to $3n+2$ when $3 \nmid n+1$, but computational evidence suggests that $\displaystyle \frac{1}{1-q^{12}}  \left (\frac{J_{2, 12}J_{6, 12}^2J_{12}^3}{2J_{1, 12}^2J_{5, 12}^2} -  \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^nq^{6n^2+3n}}{1+q^{6n}} \right )$ has non-negative coefficients, and given the simplification with help of Lemma \ref{phiid}, a stronger version of the method used in \cite{swisher} along with using properties of $\varphi^2(q)$, in which coefficient of $q^n$ counts number of Diophantine solutions to $a^2 + b^2 = n$ might aid in proving the inequality when $3 \mid n + 1$.

Wall Street is among the most popular places in the world. It is known as the center point of the entire American economy. The majority of mega economic deals are brokered on this street. Millions of people make billions of dollars while working on this very street. It is a dream of almost each and every person related to finance to work in this very place. This place is a goldmine and from the looks, it is no doubt one of the best places to work.
There is a secret to this place and the majority of people don't wish to look at that secret because that secret will make this moneymaking heaven look bad. This secret that no one likes to discuss is the work routine that people have to manage while they work from different firms located on the Wall Street.
People who work on the Wall Street have the toughest routines and no one really cares for this because when you are making money nothing matters. On average a person who has started working on the Wall Street is expected to start their work as early as 6 in the morning and keep on working till 10 at night. These work hours will crush almost anyone, no matter how strong they are physically and mentally. Yet people are working these long hours as a result of which they are no doubt making money, but along with that they are also producing stress and anxiety for themselves.
Stress and anxiety can hit people at any time. The worst time for them to hit is during the day when someone is at work. In such a situation on is unable to concentrate on their work. As a result of this, they will be unable to produce the required output. this, in the long run, could cause many different problems. In the most severe cases, people could get fired from their jobs. Especially if they are unable to complete their work properly in an efficient manner. This can happen quite easily to anyone working long hours on the Wall Street. Yet people have discovered many different ways of dealing will all this stress and produce results that are expected from them.
Earlier it became known to the world that people on the Wall Street were using different drugs such as heroin and cocaine in order to help themselves cope with stress and anxiety. As years passed these illegal drugs became harder to get as a result of which people stopped using them. So as a result of this people started turning towards legal medical drugs for help. Among these drugs, Xanax the best medication that people had as an alternative to help themselves cope with anxiety and stress. At first, this drug was also available for anyone as over the counter medication. With the passage of time people started using this medication in excess. This led to the administration to make this amazing medication a prescription medication.
This meant that anyone without a valid prescription will never be sold this medication at a pharmacy legally. As a result of this people started looking for alternatives in order to cope with this issue. Some people started paying their physician's heavy sums of money to compel them to prescribe Xanax. Over time this to started failing because administration started taking strict actions against such physicians. Now people on the Wall Street and many other such places with hard work routines started losing their jobs due to one single medication being made a prescription medication. To help out these people to get in their earlier form and start earning money once again Xanax was made available online for purchase through online pharmacies.
The great thing about is that you buy Xanax legally without breaking a single law. So if you are a corporate or someone who has to work long hours are then bought Xanax online. Another benefit that you get while you buy Xanax online is that you get it delivered to your doorstep. All this without the least bit of hassle. So if you have any stress or anxiety problem that is interfering with your life than just trying Xanax. This might allow you to make a bright career leading to the Wall Street some day.

Global warming is a change in the earth's climate that results in higher average temperatures earth wide. While this is a subject is much debated, with some opponents even saying that there is no such thing as global warming, many top leaders and scientists are very concerned and have been investigating this phenomenon for decades.
Scientists have spent many years looking at natural cycles and other events that are known to influence climate. They have looked into evidence from past ice ages and other natural cycles to see if the current situation matches these patterns. However, the amount of warming and the pattern of the warming do not match any of these previously known natural causes. The only explanation that seems to make sense is that it has been caused, or at least augmented, by human activities.
The key human factor in global warming appears to be greenhouse gases emitted by humans. There are number of greenhouse gases that are responsible for the warming and humans emit greenhouse gases in a variety of ways. However, most of them are a direct result of burning fossil fuels and automobiles, factories and in the production electricity.
Most of the warming is being caused by carbon dioxide, also known as CO2. Other major contributors to global warming are methane, nitrous oxide and various refrigeration and industrial gases. Taken together, all of these gases released into the atmosphere act like the glass in a greenhouse. Heat from the sun passes through these gases to the earth, but then is trapped and prevented from leaving. This has the net effect of increasing global temperatures.
The greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and a vital part of our atmosphere. They help to regulate the planet's temperature and make it suitable for life. For example, Mars has too little greenhouse effect and its surface is frozen, with no sign of life. On the other hand, Venus has too much greenhouse effect. With about 300 times the amount of CO2 as the earth, the runaway greenhouse effect on Venus keeps the surface temperature hot enough to melt lead. The key is to keep the proper balance and to ensure that human activities do not push greenhouse gas levels too far one way or the other. Natural forces have always worked to balance the atmosphere, but current human activities are upsetting the balance and hindering the natural adjustments.
Each of these gases goes from a different source and as different heat-trapping abilities. Methane is being released from landfills and agriculture. It produces more than 20 times the warming of a molecule of C02. Nitrous oxide from fertilizers is 300 times more powerful than C02. Various refrigeration gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons, trap thousands of times the amount of heat of C02. However, it is C02 that gets most of the blame due to the vast quantities being released each year. Even added together, the other gases do not have as much an effect as carbon dioxide.
There are causes beyond the actual release of these greenhouse gases that exacerbate the problem. For example, trees are part of the naturally occurring cycle that converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Rapid deforestation and burning of trees is a two-edged sword. Not only does the burning release C02, trees that used to absorb and trap the gas are lost.
Methane emissions are also increasing. Methane occurs naturally in the ground. In the arctic, methane is trapped in the frozen permafrost. But as the climate warms, the permafrost begins to melt. This release is even more methane, causing a vicious cycle. Another source of methane is manure. As more animals are being raised as a source of food the source of methane is also increasing.
Unless human patterns and activities are modified, this is a problem that is destined to get worse.
Bette Wright McKinley says
How much more carbon dioxide is there in the atmosphere than there was 50 years ago? Climate change came about because there was not unough facts to suport global warming!
Thomas Murphy says
A great article, and one which should be read by teens and children world-wide. I do object to the problem being termed "global warming" though,, as do many other people. The insane cold temps that continue to make North Americans suffer this winter are proof that the term should be "climate change"….the world's citizens are the cause of extreme changes in both high AND low temps due to their carelessness and a love of fossil fuels, coal and other fuels that are harming our air and water.

Research Administration Training Program ›
Main menu: sub-menu items
The Research Administration Training Program has the following goals in mind:
Build a program in-house, so it is tailored specifically to the Princeton University audience
Offer a rigorous professional development program for Princeton University staff interested in sponsored research
Develop an extensive, in-depth training opportunity covering the cradle-to-grave sponsored research life cycle at a basic level and in a way that is accessible to all
Create new networking opportunities and build a supportive community of knowledgeable research administrators
Provide Princeton's research administrators an opportunity to receive an internal certification and show off their hard work!
The Research Administration Training Program offers professional development opportunities to those new to or interested in a career in sponsored research (less than 2-3 years of experience) or for those new to Princeton. The depth and breadth of this program ensure that even seasoned research administrators will find the investment of their time worthwhile. ORPA will prioritize the program for those new to Research Administration or Princeton and open to all interested parties.
The program consists of a set of core classes and a set of electives:
All enrollees will begin the program by taking Introduction to Research Administration at Princeton University, followed by the Pre-Award Administration module classes in the order laid out above. These introductory classes serve as the foundation for the later curriculum and are designed to expose the enrollees to the fundamentals of research administration. The balance of the program may be completed in any preferred order.
Program Hours to Certification and Time to Completion
Each class is 90-minutes of instruction. Therefore, the required training hours to complete the program is approximately 25 hours of core classes and 9 hours of electives. In addition, to receive certification, assessments in the form of "homework" will be required to be completed.
Enrollees will be expected to complete the program within 24 months of enrollment.
Pilot Program Information
The Research Administration Training Program's pilot cohort will launch in February 2022 and end in November 2022 with approximately 10-12 enrollees. The pilot program will test the Research Administration Training Program among a small and committed group of early-career or new to Princeton staff interested in providing meaningful feedback, leading to the program's further development and improvement.
While we encourage applications throughout the University staff community, this pilot intends:
to prioritize Princeton employees with material research administration responsibilities in their positions,
staff with two years of research administration experience or less,
and staff newer to the Princeton community.
The program also aims to assemble a pilot cohort representing individuals from diverse areas of research administration and backgrounds.
If you are interested in being considered a part of the pilot cohort, please complete and sign the application form. Supervisor signature is also required. Selections will be announced in December 2021, and a January 2022 orientation session will be held for the selected participants.
Participation in the pilot cohort requires the following commitments:
Attendance at each scheduled in-person core class and selected elective courses. See Pilot Program Schedule
Completion of pre-course assignments and any homework assigned for each class.
Completion of evaluation and feedback forms after each class and providing periodic program-level feedback as requested.
Return the completed form as an email attachment no later than Tuesday, November 30th, to Eszter Rudy, Training Program Manager, at RATP@princeton.edu. Questions can also be directed to the same email address.
Collaborating Offices and Groups
The Research Administrator Training Program is a collaborative effort across a variety of offices and groups at Princeton. The following offices and groups will teach segments of the program:
Dean of the Faculty (DOF)
Graduate School (DGS)
Office of Audit and Compliance (OAC)
Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA)
Research Integrity and Assurance (RIA)
Selected grants managers
Sponsored Research Accounting (SRA)
….and more!

Treasure Island () is a 1986 fabulist metafiction film directed by Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz, which was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 1991 Cannes Film Festival. French, British and American companies funded Ruiz's obscure and complex adaptation of the classic 1883 coming-of-age adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Treasure Island stars a young Melvil Poupaud, a familiar face in Ruiz's filmography, alongside popular veteran actors such as Martin Landau, Anna Karina and Jean-Pierre Léaud.

The film's play on the traditional narrative of an iconic and frequently dramatized story is very representative of Ruiz' oneiric approach and style. Ruiz takes his fondness for cartography to a new level with Stevenson's narrative, making the book into a map to the treasure in this rendition.

Plot
Treasure Island opens with the narrator, who is both the main character, Jonathan, and Jim Hawkins (Melvil Poupaud), describing a violent television show that he is watching about African civil war and the theft of diamonds. Then the film moves to the shabby hotel owned and run by Jonathan's drunken father (Lou Castel), and peculiar mother (Anna Karina) where they take in as few guests as possible.
A mysterious man (Martin Landau) arrives at the hotel, and asks to be called "Captain." Jonathan begins to analyze him through the "eye of god:" a hole in the ceiling of the Captain's room. He realizes that this man is no stranger but actually quite familiar with his parents.

While tending to guests on the terrace, a strange blind man (Charles Schmidt) approaches Jon. The man is relentless in wanting to speak with Jonathan about the Captain.

The Captain attempts to bribe Jonathan into not sharing that he is staying at the hotel, to which Jonathan responds it's too late. As his mother watches, the Captain drugs him. While drugged, Jon sleepwalks, and is unable to tell if he is awake or asleep. He sees a fight between the Captain and his father. His mother screams at him to go back to sleep.

After fully regaining consciousness, Jonathan ventures to a cave where he can retreat for days at time. He looks outside to see the blind man dancing. He escapes back to the hotel, where a man, Midas (Jean-Pierre Léaud), sits at a typewriter. Midas seems to know everything about Jonathan. The blind man then appears at the hotel, and tries to grab Jonathan.

The Captain's familiarity is explained when Jonathan's mother and he are seen giggling and holding each other: it is obvious now that they are lovers. They begin to mock the husband; drunkenly, as Jonathan watches.

Jonathan leaves the hotel. He eventually runs into a man on the side of the road, named Silver (Vic Tayback). He offers Jonathan a place to stay and a ride. Jon then begins to notice that Silver also knows everything about him. As he heads off to sleep, a random person in the hall claims to be Jonathan's father. Silver makes the stranger leave. Off to bed, Jonathan grabs a book:  Treasure Island. He comments "that book accounted for Silver's entire secret library".

Jonathan returns home and arrives to find his Father's funeral is in progress. Jonathan is not upset by, but rather indifferent to, his father's death: to him, it only means he will never have to loathe him again. Jon then awakes to a room of people, one being a doctor (Lou Castel). It is gathered that he fainted at the funeral. The doctor purposefully scares Jonathan. His mother watches, laughing. She urges the doctor to stop, as she believes Jon's memory is gone. She claims Jon thinks other people are his father, which at this point in the film is not ridiculous as there are a few people who could potentially be his biological father. There are now a few guests; the doctor, a millionaire, and the Captain along with a new family member, Aunt Helen (Sheila). Everyone is reading Treasure Island.

The Captain has now gone insane. He refuses to see anyone but Jonathan. Jon goes to visit the captain and sees that he has annotated Treasure Island. He notices that there is a character named Silver, and that his lines echoed that of the Silver he had met a few days earlier. The Captain is dying. He asks Jonathan to promise to read every book (all the treasure islands) carefully, because the entire fate of the western world depends on it. Before He dies he tells Jonathan that he is his actual father.

Jonathan begins to prepare for a trip in search of treasure. There is now a new Captain, who is French (Yves Afonso). The group includes the doctor, a millionaire, Silver, and other familiar faces. There are two groups, Silver's and the French Captain's. Jon is continually pestered by Silver to come to his side. Jon refuses and stays with the French Captain. He then overhears Silver saying that all of the other crew must go. The captain and his crew abandon ship in a rowboat.

The group eventually makes it to another boat where there is yet another captain (Pedro Armendáriz Jr.). Once on the ship, they discover Silver and his crew are already there as hostages, along with Helen. As Helen and Jon enjoy a few moments on deck before being forced back beneath, they begin to talk about morals: she explains that the men on the ship are lacking morals because they are all playing a game.

The group has finally found Treasure Island. Jon, below deck with his group, notices that one of the men on the crew is the man from Silver's house who claimed he was his father. He deceives him by bringing up this sensitive father-son topic, and the group is able to flee above deck.

They land on Skeleton Beach, giving space between themselves and Silver. They decide to attack after lunch. The battle scene looks similar to the opening show. Jon comments that it is a "funny sort of battle," as there are no bullets: it is all fake.

The voice of the narrator switches from Jon to someone else. The narrator comments that he has been speaking as Jonathan in the first person, because he feels that he is a witness and so he can accurately share what has happened. He then makes it clear that now he will speak as himself. Jonathan then reappears, and takes control of the ship. He runs into his ersatz father, Israel Hands (Jean Francois Stévenin), on board, who when trying to overtake Jon loses his hands.

Back on land, Jon is captured and brought to Silver, and asks him if he actually knows Treasure Island. A man appears and begins to explain Treasure Island. He explains that there is a book, and a game. The game was invented by Silver, who is a professor. And then Silver introduces the man as an expert in limited game theory. Silver goes on to explain that the whole world is playing a game that abides by sacred rules. And whoever discovers these rules can control the world.

Then Helen and the doctor appear, and the expert is shot. Jon then doesn't want to play anymore. Near by, the millionaire and a strange man sit and talk about the diamonds of the island.

Silver, still distraught that his colleague was killed, comments that he was his "best Silver" ever with this man. He rants that this man was also the best Jim Hawkins ever. Jon than asks if the man was him (meaning Jim), and Silver comments that he was better than Jonathan. Helen then shoots Silver.

It is then shared that the narrator is Ben Gunn (Tony Jessen), who is the strange man with the diamonds. He explains that this game was a failure, and they will play again. But, he comments that the game is always interesting when it ends in Silver's death. Jon then realizes that all of these people have played before. Ben then asks Jon if he will play again. He responds yes, but asks Ben to guess who he will be. Ben tells him that he would make a great Silver, and comments that he himself has never played Jim Hawkins, but that he must report on how Jim Hawkins feels in the cyclical adventures of Treasure Island. The film ends with Jonathan running on the beach while the dead are being buried. Ben then kills Jon on the beach, because he doesn't want him to play again, for he is the only Jim Hawkins.

Reception
The film was shown at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival but did not win any awards. Although it was more popular in Europe, it was not the hit that its American investors were hoping for.

Themes
Ruiz is renowned for making complex stories, without following the traditional narrative structure. Unlike his other films, Treasure Island uses the structure and characters of the novel. When re-reading the book he found that the structure was stronger than the material. Ruiz found that life is made up of these types of stories:"We play amidst these stories, sometimes being involved in two or three of them at once. In one you're a hero, in another a secondary character. These scripts are the society in which we live-…" ~Raúl RuizThese ideas are obvious towards the end of the film, when the game is introduced. Jonathan/Jim is actually asked which character he will play next. This philosophy of Ruiz' foreshadows role-playing gaming, which began to take off shortly after this film was made. The idea that we are all playing a game, and are all different characters at points in our stories is one of the main themes of the movie.

Cartography is also an important theme in Treasure Island, as well as many of Ruiz's other films. The entire film is based on the idea that the book is a map to the treasure. The importance of cartography for Ruiz is not only his complex background as a Chilean exile, but in his reinvention of the way stories are told. In this film much time is spent developing the idea that even a familiar story can be told in many different ways

AlipaySDK, 3.0.1, iOS, Swift 2, Xcode 7

## Integrate steps
- Copy `AlipaySDK.framework`, `AlipaySDK.bundle`, `libssl.a`, `libcrypto.a` to the `Frameworks` group of your project.
- Copy the `Util` and `openssl` folder into your project's folder and load all the files into the project.
- Copy `Order.h`, `Order.m`, `APAuthV2Info.h`, `APAuthV2Info.m` to the project
- Import the `Order.h`, `<AlipaySDK/AlipaySDK.h>`, `DataSigner.h` in the bridging-header file

## QAs
- add `#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>` the files showing some errors like `NSString`, eg. `Util/Base64.h` `Util/openssl_wrapper.h`
- disable bitcode in the build setting if error occurs for the libcrypto.a not supporting
- `openssl/asn1.h` file not found, add `$SRCROOT recursive` in the Header Search Paths in Build Settings
- `CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed (-9824)`,
	`NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9802)`,
	`[memo: Error Domain=系统繁忙,请稍后再试 Code=1000 "(null)", result: , resultStatus: 4000]`,
	ALI69 网络繁忙,请稍后重试
	enable `Allow Arbitrary Loads` under `App Transport Security Settings` to allow AlipaySDK doing everything it likes(When the fuck will Alipay support https TLS 1.2?)

Okay, winter is really here! It snowed again this morning... getting two kids under the age of three suited up to go out in snowy weather at 8:30am is not easy! I keep dropping off Lila late for school because I under-estimate the time it takes to put on snow pants, jacket, hat, boots, gloves. And speaking of gloves, I cannot find a good waterproof pair that fit Lila's hands and stay on! We went to REI on Wednesday and bought a pair and today they just fell right off when I tried to put them on her. Sigh. I am just doubling and tripling up the wool gloves for now.
