Self-portrait during the Covid-19 era
The Short Version
Douglas Lutz is a Virginia-based storyteller. His debut novel, The Apple Pie Alibi, will be rereleased in December 2021, followed soon after by its sequel, Milk Chocolate Murders, both on Amazon KDP. For his latest exploits, follow Doug on Facebook @AuthorDJLutz, Instagram @1cookingwriter and at www.DouglasLutz.com.
The Better Version
Pre-Covid, Douglas Lutz worked inside the confines of a corporate gray cubicle, providing administrative support for a global financial management company. On the side, he was a successful corporate reporter, covering topics ranging from diversity, equity, and inclusion to fixed income sales. Sound boring? Perhaps to some, but Doug loved his company, his coworkers, and even his work. And the coffee was free!
From the onset of the Covid era, Doug continues the same work, except, as an essential worker (the company is part of the banking industry) he alternates working one week in a nearly deserted office and one week at home. But the coffee is still free. What's not to love?
Doug has had short stories published in two anthologies, The World Unknown Review, Vol. 1 (Engler) and Fifty Shades of Cabernet (Koehler.) The debut novel of his Winnie Kepler Culinary Mystery Series, The Apple Pie Alibi was published in 2017 (Koehler.) Doug has regained the rights to this novel and will revise / republish it in December 2021 under Amazon KDP. Soon after will follow the sequel, Milk Chocolate Murders. The third book in the series, Wedding Cake Witness, is currently being outlined.
Years earlier...
As a young lad, Doug took Benjamin Franklin's words to heart, "... Do something worth writing." Many summers were spent hiking the highlands of Nicaragua and Honduras as part of volunteer public health teams. Later, music became a focus, and Doug became the first saxophonist with a local nightclub band called Dallas Brass & Electric. Wanderlust and a need for a job with health benefits enabled Doug to spend the next 21years traveling the world as a Marine Corps musician.
Music was an adventure, but to help pay the bills, Doug eventually had to find extra work in Norfolk, Virginia as a line cook (and when needed, a "floor manager" wink wink nudge nudge) at The Banque, one of the largest country-western honkytonks on the east coast, Doug now combines his love of food with the need to create by writing culinary-influenced mysteries.
Doug currently lives in Newport News, Virginia with his wife, and one special needs puppy named Sassafras - and a pair of sketchy cats that can't be trusted.

How do I get my 12 year old cat to stop scratching the carpet?
Question by lil: How do I get my 12 year old cat to stop scratching the carpet?
I have tried spraying him with water, putting down throw rugs (he pees on these because he has a kidney problem), bringing in scratching posts among other things to no a avail. I even tried calling the vet to see what the procedure is for declawing-which they said was an awful procedure-so that was ruled out. But this scratching thing is ruining the carpet of the house we rent. Any suggestions before I go crazy?

Polytrichum strictum, commonly known as bog haircap moss or strict haircap, is an evergreen and perennial species of moss native to Sphagnum bogs and other moist habitats in temperate climates.  It has a circumboreal distribution, and is also found in South America and Antarctica.

Description
Like other species in the Polytrichaceae, Polytrichum strictum has leaves with a single costa, vertical lamellae, a water-repelling cuticle, and rhizoids that appear to facilitate external water movement in addition to anchoring the plant.  Dense tufts of slender stems from 6–12 cm form 20–40 cm hummocks in bogs and similar substrates.  Leaves are narrowly lanceolate, appressed to the stem when dry and spreading to erect when moist. The reddish awn (formed by the slightly excurrent costa) and smooth, inrolled leaf margins separate P. strictum from other Polytrichum species; only juniper haircap moss (P. juniperinum) shares these attributes. P. strictum, however, can be easily distinguished by the wooly-tomentose white rhizoids that extend up its stems (absent in P. juniperinum), as well as its boggy habitat and predilection for organic soils (in contrast to the weedy nature and preference for mineral soils that characterize P. juniperinum).

Distribution
Polytrichum strictum is found throughout Canada, the northern half of the United States, Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, northern Europe and Asia, as well as Antarctica and the southern half of South America.  It is characteristic of boggy peatland habitats dominated by Sphagnum mosses, but can also be found in wet heaths, tundra, sedge meadows, and peaty forests from low to high elevations; in warmer climates, it is largely confined to relict bogs.  Its microhabitat is at the top of peat hummocks, which it often helps to form.

Reproduction

Polytrichum strictum is dioicous, with male and female reproductive structures produced separately by male and female gametophytes, which are haploid (1n).  As in other Polytrichum species, the antheridia are borne terminally on male plants and swell and burst when mature, launching sperm into the air; in addition, they develop in splash cups, which further facilitate sperm dispersal by catching and harnessing the energy of rain drops.  The lucky few sperm to land near the archegonia of a female plant (also borne terminally) use their two whiplash flagella to swim down the neck and into the venter, where one will fertilize the ovum. Once fertilisation takes place, the zygote develops into the diploid (2n) sporophyte, which consists of a foot (embedded in the tissue of the gametophyte), a seta (or stalk), and a capsule.  The capsule, which is covered by a dirty-white calyptra, matures after the seta elongates, at which point the calyptra is shed.   Within the capsule, each sporoctye undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid (1n) spores; when these are mature, the operculum is projected and the spores are released through the peristome, which is joined by the epiphragm and ringed by 64 nematodontous teeth.  When the proper conditions and substrate are available, the spores germinate into a filamentous protonema, from which the gametophytes emerge, completing the cycle.

Use in restoration

Polytrichum strictum is considered an important pioneer species in peatlands, able to tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions and disturbance regimes.  It is instrumental in preventing frost heaving in harvested peatlands, and research suggests it can be used in the restoration of unstable peat areas, although little is known about whether it aids or hinders Sphagnum growth.

The Willamette River Greenway is a cooperative state and local government effort to maintain and enhance the scenic, recreational, historic, natural and agricultural qualities of the Willamette River and its adjacent lands. A number of trails exist along the greenway, but significant gaps still exist.

Oregon State Treasurer Robert Straub proposed in 1966 public ownership of lands along the Willamette, during his run for Governor of Oregon.  Tom McCall won the election and adopted the proposal. The Greenway was established by the 1967 Oregon legislature and U.S. Senator Maurine Neuberger sought federal funds to support the program.

The 1973 Oregon legislature passed the Willamette River Greenway Act, which established ties to a comprehensive state land use law (Oregon Senate Bill 100) passed that same year.

In 1975, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development included the Willamette River Greenway as one of nineteen standards for statewide planning, requiring that public access, native vegetation, and scenic views be considered when planning new developments.

Forcing a relationship is amongst the most not naturally made approach having said that, you can be astonish to learn the fact that men and women are actually compelled or pushed into friendships not to mention partnerships without feeling love for find out your face. Absolutely, you intimately know people of that ranking We bet. People happen to be precisely the same above the 365 days s; ended up being looking to find that special someone to meet and build a relationship that can contribute to relationship.
When you've made your profile and placed a photograph " up ", you might want to appreciate job isn't really done as of this time. Much like any emerging relationship, connection is extremely important, you start with the most important emails you will together with some potential partner might share. You may have to talk to some people before you work with a company you want to communicate with in the phone or meet directly.
To be clear, I don't advocate "random browsing". As a grown up and confident woman, you need to understand extremely clearly Who you are searching — what qualities you have to discover inside the partner and what your most essential valuations are. We habitually skimp in daily life, in the office and at house, and it's also strong and quite often required. However , everyone must find out for your ex boyfriend or herself which are usually the personality traits or personal principles make contains dear to her center and can't agreement on. Sometimes mobile computer ought to say "NO" to yourself and others and not throw away each others' time. Listen carefully whenever you are hinting exactly who they are because of their words and ACTIVITIES maybe Not enough ACTIONS.
• "Ride the wave I actually say, " but satisfy understand, every wave ultimately crashes and calmly washes high on shoreline. Enjoy the thus named "honeymoon" phase of the romance, but acknowledge that the substantial operate is nonetheless later on. Relationships are easy throughout the dating phase, or simply the courtship phase along with when you initially get married. A few, three, four years into marriage is the place it becomes clear that marriage can be beginning to help you feel a lot more like work. That's where your energy on a regular basis starts out. Learning how to openly relate in the beginning of your relationship gives large dividends books increase and mature being few.

Q: Consume C++ boost.asio Rest API by C# I have a rest API that is returning proper data, the problem is when i am consuming is from a C# code. Its returning bad gateway
following are my both codes for server
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>

#include <string>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>

using boost::asio::ip::tcp;
using namespace std;
std::string make_daytime_string()
{
        using namespace std; // For time_t, time and ctime;
        time_t now = time(0);
        return ctime(&now);
}

int main()
{
        try
        {
                boost::asio::io_service io_service;

                tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service, tcp::endpoint(tcp::v4(), 1313));

                for (;;)
                {
                        cout << "listening for socket" << endl;
                        tcp::socket socket(io_service);
                        acceptor.accept(socket);

                        cout << "listening for socket" << endl;
                        std::string message = make_daytime_string();
                        message = "I am a response from rest service baby !!!";
                        boost::system::error_code ignored_error;
                        boost::asio::write(socket, boost::asio::buffer(message), ignored_error);
                }
        }
        catch (std::exception& e)
        {
                std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
        }

        return 0;
}

and for consuming it i have the following c# code
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.17.85:1313/");
req.Method = "GET";
WebResponse rep = req.GetResponse();

I dont seem to understand the problem, because it is easily consumed from the web browser but its returning 502 (Bad Gateway) from this code.

A: You are simply writing into a socket, there is no HTTP in your response, browsers are "good" enough to detect this kind of problem. You need to format your code using HTTP protocol.
Please check the RFC 2616 for HTTP 1.1 (I think this is the most common version).

Winter raccoon kills on the Verdigris River, KS
The rivers of North America are home to nearly 300 species of native freshwater pearly mussels. However, the destruction of river habitats by dams, channelization, erosion and pollution has left many of these amazing mollusks on the brink of extinction. Presently 71 native mussels are on the U.S. endangered species list. Mussels don't have a glamorous public image like pandas or tigers, yet the more we learn more about them the more remarkable they seem.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of native mussels is their symbiosis with fish. Females release tiny larvae called glochidia. The glochidia must attach to the gills or fins of particular species of fish, where they remain for several days or weeks as they metamorphose into juvenile mussels. Mussels have evolved incredible devices to lure fishes and ensure that the glochidia become attached. The photos and videos displayed on the following pages illustrate some of these remarkable adaptations.

This fellowship, generously supported in part by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, aims to support the work of scholars in the humanities or social sciences, librarians, archivists, and data science professionals whose research interests or practice cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries and actively employ technology in their work. Projects can address any aspect of the Italian Renaissance, broadly understood historically to include the period from the 14th to the 17th century, and geographically to include transnational dialogues between Italy and other cultures (e.g. Latin American, Mediterranean, African, Asian, etc.). Projects should apply digital technologies such as mapping, textual analysis, visualization, or the semantic web to topics in fields such as art and architecture, history, literature, material culture, music, philosophy, religion, and the history of science.
I Tatti offers Fellows the precious time they need to pursue their studies with a minimum of obligations and interruptions together with a maximum of scholarly resources- a combination that distinguishes the Harvard Center from similar institutions. Each year, a limited number of activities organized at I Tatti are reserved for the Fellows, and they are expected to join the wider community at conferences, lectures, and concerts.
This is a residential fellowship of 4 or 6 months in length. Up to two fellowships will be awarded every year.
Applicants must be conversant in English and have familiarity with Italian. At the time of application, a PhD is required for scholars in the humanities and social sciences. In exceptional cases, applications from advanced PhD (ABD) students will be considered, provided these applicants have earned their PhD by the time they assume a fellowship at I Tatti. In addition, we require a letter from the dissertation supervisor clearly stating the anticipated PhD date. A Master's degree is required for librarians, archivists, and data science professionals. A background in programming, library sciences, computer graphics, computational linguistics, or other fields relevant to digital humanities research is highly desirable. Candidates should possess the technical skills to carry out their project at the time of application, and it must be possible for applicants to carry out most of their research in Florence. Priority will be given to early and mid-career scholars. I Tatti welcomes applications from scholars from all nations and gives special consideration to candidates without regular access to research materials and facilities in Italy. Applications are evaluated by international scholars. The selection committee aims to assess the ability of candidates to contribute in a collegial way to the intellectual life of the Harvard Center.
Short-term Fellowships at I Tatti can be held only once and cannot be deferred. Short-term Fellowships are intended for scholars who have not previously held appointments at I Tatti (with the exception of Graduate Fellows).
The stipend is $4,000 per month, plus a one-time supplement (maximum, $1,500) towards relocation expenses. In light of the residential nature of the fellowship, Fellows must live in the Florence area and spend at least three days a week at the Center. When possible, a one-bedroom apartment will be set aside for the Fellow's use, rent free, but with charges for utilities. If an apartment is not available, $1000 per month will be offered to help offset rental costs.
Applicants should indicate their preference between fall (September through December) and winter-spring (January through June). Fellows enjoy all the privileges of the Harvard Center, including use of the Biblioteca Berenson seven days a week and lunch with other Appointees from Monday through Friday. Short-term Fellows do not receive an office or study, but they will have their own desk or carrel in the Library itself. Fellows may not take on any other obligations such as teaching positions, even part-time ones, during any part of their Fellowship period.


This page describes the format for the HAT light curves generated by the LCC server. We include metadata about the object, the telescopes observing it, and environmental conditions at the time of observation. In general, HAT uses aperture photometry using three apertures to maximize photometric precision throughout the effective 5-sigma magnitude range of the instruments.
Reading and working with these light curves is described in the csvlc docs page.

"I was in town to root for my son who was taking part in a competition at UMD. His school booked rooms at the Greenbelt Marriott for $249 a night. I paid a third of that for a room that was just as nice. Plus, I got a good free breakfast and they didn't!
"Stayed here on business for 26 days. Rooms are nice sized and comfortable.
I usually stay away from the "breakfast" in the hotels but did eat at this every day. Good appearance, presentation and good food.


A late Lloyd James penalty a minute from time saw Orient finish pre season unbeaten. The ex Southampton scholar slotted home calmly after Kevin Lisbie was upended in the penalty area after Balint Bajner opened the scoring after 10 minutes for the visitors.
After recent new signings from Orient boss Russell Slade, the Orient manager started recent addition from Millwall, Shane Lowry at left back who looked comfortable throughout. Mooney and Dagnall started up front knowing that all of their performances were being assessed with strength in depth being key for the East London club this season. The first chance of game was for the home side after Dagnall was upended on the edge of the box but James saw his curling free kick clip the top of the bar with Dean Gergen helpless in the Ipswich goal. Ipswich heard the warning and responded instantly, after a long ball down the left channel, there was a mix up between Omosuzi, Baudry and Clarke leaving Jay Tabb with a one-on-one. Orient keeper Adam Legizins saved the initial effort but Ipwich debutant Bajner was left to slot home into the empty net.
After conceding first in their last game against QPR, the O's continued on the same foot making the running looking for the equalizer. Shane Lowry was looking a threat down the left hand side whipping in a cross which the on rushing Pritchard miss kicked out of play. The first real chance came after 30 minutes where Romain Vincelot received a knock down, delightfully stepped the Ipswich defender but saw his shot saved by Gergen. Cameron Stewart saw his free kick on half time go narrowly wide for the visitors.
Half time saw Bajner make way for David McGoldrick along with home side bringing on Lisbie and McAnuff for Dagnall and Batt. McAnuff the recent addition from Reading nearly made an instant impact linking up with Lisbie but unfortunately the chance went begging. Substitutions was the name of the game in the second half with both managers trying out fringe players seeing whether they can put their name on the team sheet for next week's opening fixtures. Mooney had a half chance after 65 minutes when Lisbie played him in but the Irish forward dragged his shot wide. McGoldrick was the main danger for Ipswich and caused Legizins to pull off a double save to prevent the Championship side going 2-0 up. The game was filtering out until a minute from time where Lisbie picked the ball up on the right flank, a mazy run from the Orient forward saw him enter the box before being fouled. James stepped up and slotted home to keep the home side unbeaten during pre season.
Russell Slade has been happy with the pre season games with the opposition providing different tests for the losing play off finalists. Orient played their best 45 minutes in the first half against QPR with the attacking talent looking very good. The defence has looked solid throughout pre season with only the mistake for the first goal vs Ipswich being a worry. Adam Legizins looked a constant performer today being quick off his line and being a good shot stopper but still looks a bit unsure on crosses. Hopefully this will come with confidence playing with a consistent back four. James and Vincelot impressed again finding positions and creating chances with them sure to start the opener vs Chesterfield next week. Mooney failed to impress, slowing down the game too much allowing opposition to get back in shape. With Slade signing 2 new strikers, competition for positions is high with the two recent additions needing a week or two to get fit it will be interesting to see what the forward line looks like next week. Starting 11 for next week: Legizins, Omusuzi, Clarke, Baudry, Lowry, Pritchard, James, Vincelot, Cox, Lisbie, Dagnall.


But, perhaps counterintuitively, there is an authoritarian critique of politics just as there is a libertarian one. For example, as political theory scholar David Held observes, Karl Marx looked forward to an "end of politics," a world without political or economic classes, in which the "political supremacy" of the proletariat and the end of material scarcity would be realized. Ironically, Marx presents a vision in some ways quite similar to that of libertarians, treating politics as "the official expression of antagonism in civil society" and anticipating the dissipation of the state and the related growth of a new, different kind of governing system. Taking Marx's stateless, anti-political reverie on its face, libertarians may be tempted to think that it doesn't sound half bad. Who wouldn't want a society without unjust, coercive class rule, where permanent material plenitude has replaced poverty and want? If only we could call a halt to the messy, obstructive, and—perhaps worst of all—corrupt process of politics, we might get on our way toward utopia. Inspirited by seemingly endless scientific advancements and technological developments, utopians of all kinds once confidently forecasted the day when society would be cleansed finally and fully of politics. In the United States, the authoritarian variety of this anti-political thinking reached its apogee during the Progressive Era. But while the progressives purported to be anti-political, they, like Marxists, were not anti-state; they sought not to replace or discard the state, but to purify it, to make it the instrument of the empirical method, of objective, scientific knowledge used to execute and administer a rational ordering of society from the top down. Specialization and expertise were in the ascendant, attended by a new contempt among intellectuals and elites for all things political and ideological. According to the progressive thinking, if everything is reducible to hard science—to empirical data, duly analyzed and quantified—then there is no longer a need for either politics or ideology. Trained experts in central government agencies, assigned to specific social problems and tasks, need only determine the correct, scientific solution and determine a plan for its implementation.
The fundamental mistake of such thinking is one that Hayek identified in his Nobel Prize lecture, "The Pretence of Knowledge," in which he explains the problems with applying the methods of the physical sciences to the social sciences. Progressivism is an example of this kind of "scientism," an attempt to coopt, in Hayek's words, "the dignity and prestige of the physical sciences" for public policy decisions made by a burgeoning class of bureaucrats—as opposed to either state legislatures or the U.S. Congress. The twentieth century academy likewise embraced the intellectual vainglory of scientism, the economics profession, for example, coming to treat economies as "engineerable systems, i.e., machines."2 Many free market economists espoused this "modernist genre of economic theory," even as they battled the ideas of Keynesianism and socialist economic planning. The space of thought, inquiry, and political debate was narrowing, giving way to a monotonous climate of conformity.
Writing during the Cold War, C. Wright Mills accused the United States self-appointed intellectual elite of embarking on exactly the kind of sanitation of thought associated with the "socialist realism" of the Soviets. By carefully pruning the domain of acceptable thought, based at least in theory on something harder and more scientific than mere political ideology, the American literati had enthroned a kind of snobbish complacency. Mills argued that a new "style of reportage," sophisticated in tone, but not in ideas, had triumphed—that, as a result, facts and ideas were held in strict sequestration from each other. And without the ability to contextualize events and data, to apply abstract principles to fact patterns, we have no way to perform a critical analysis. The power of facts to "truly enlighten in a political way" is therefore lost to us. When Mills invokes the political here, he is, like James C. Scott decades later, vindicating a particular kind of contentious, even adversarial style of communication and dialogue. He is decidedly not talking about the politics that libertarians oppose. Just as the common law legal system assumes that an adversarial process serves the interests of truth and fundamental justice, specially designed to test the factual claims of both sides, Mills and Scott want to preserve a space for politics and ideology as methods for assessing and trying out social ideas. They see the wish for an end of politics and ideology fundamentally as a wish for an end of dissent. If the untidy, pluralistic world of ideological commitments can be obliterated (or at least pared down), then intellectual elites can more successfully confine decision making to a few foci of power, unchallenged by open discourse. Furthermore, the idea that the end of ideology has arrived assumes, Mills writes, "that in the West there are not more real issues or even problems of great seriousness." To extinguish ideology altogether would be tantamount to establishing and enforcing complete uniformity of thought, realizing an Orwellian nightmare of Thought Police and Newspeak. As the character Syme tells Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984, "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it." We see hints of Orwell's Newspeak in the stifling political correctness that dominates public life, in the free speech and protest zones to which "political" speech is confined.
Skeptical of claims to "absolute truth," the celebrated Chicago School economist Frank H. Knight made free and open discourse a centerpiece of his thought. For Knight, social discussion, defined as the pursuit of consensus on a particular issue, is indispensable to the politics of a liberal, democratic republic. To remove a question from the realm of discussion and debate for any reason is to preclude even the possibility of a liberal society, for it is an attempt to circumvent the process that is at the center of such a society. Rather than any static ethical standard, it is the open, evaluative process that most interests Knight and defines his thinking on the liberal society. Worried about the tendency to oversimplification in politics and public policy, Knight argues that neither appeals to science nor to morality should limit or forestall discussion.3 James C. Scott's "defense of politics" similarly identifies politics with process, with a forum for ventilating disagreements and, therefore, preventing a hegemony of ideas. Scott equates this defense with a rejection of "utopian scientism." Rather than substituting supposedly objective "numerical audit systems" as a proxy for genuine participation in the conversation and "a healthy debate about quality," we should embrace politics as dialogue. Echoing public choice theory, Scott distrusts the presumption of expert neutrality. For all the confident claims to non-ideological, non-partisan objectivity within what Scott calls "the antipolitics machine," there are nevertheless interests permeating the process. Whether it is the Social Science Citation Index or the SAT, any standardized system or formula will represent and serve the interests that created it. Scott argues that these systems aim at a "radical depoliticization of public decision making," and that this is fundamentally undemocratic, as it withdraws important, consequential questions from the arena of debate.
In the first year of Obama's presidency, David Brooks, the quintessential "reasonable" centrist, gushed that "Obama aims to realize the end-of-ideology politics that Daniel Bell and others glimpsed." Brooks admired Obama for his moderation in pursuit of a "Grand Bargain," for his understanding "that most Americans practice their politics between the 40-yard lines." Certainly Brooks is right that most of the political action takes place in the middle of the field, but the collusion between powerful interests and supposed moderates in both parties is exactly the problem. Quite contrary to the baseless idea that practical politics is more polarized and uncivil than ever, there is arguably too little politics in politics, too much of what Mills called "bipartisan banality." The Red and Blue wings of the Washington establishment actually seem to get along quite well. In fact, it seems that we long ago reached what Murray Rothbard called the "Great American Consensus," ratified again in every election that places one welfare-warfare statist in competition with another. "Pragmatic" politicians and public intellectuals like Brooks want more of the same, more of what he calls "the politics of cohesion." What American political life yearns for, however, is much less sterile political cohesion, more diversity of opinion and disagreement. Purging politics of its controversies in an attempt at oppressive homogeneity is, of course, not what libertarians like Karl Hess have in mind when they're looking forward to "the death of politics." Libertarians want to minimize or—more optimistically—entirely eliminate political control of individuals' lives and choices. The authoritarian critic of politics wishes to destroy politics by its universalization, much as the Marxist wishes paradoxically to destroy the state by maximizing its power, making it coextensive with and indistinguishable from society. It is entirely lost on Brooks and other apparent foes of all things ideological that, as Mills observed "the end-of-ideology is of course itself an ideology." The search for political cohesion and empirical pragmatism is too often the ideological cover for efforts to suppress just the kinds of spontaneous, evolutionary dynamics to which we owe genuine progress and plenty. Progressive modernism, which has now thoroughly imbued both parties, is based on the mistaken notion that elites must do something, consciously and deliberately, to bring about desired social outcomes. Following Hayek, libertarians counsel a healthy distrust in the face of apolitical, non-ideological posturing and claims to scientific objectivity and neutrality.

I recently received a question — more of a complaint — from a client who was concerned with his status as an Indian IT male. This individual was considering changing his location on his application; he was born, raised, and still lived in India, but his family had lived in Zurich for four years, starting when he was six, and he wanted to focus on that. He also wanted to highlight his job as a restaurant manager, rather than his extensive experience and education in IT.
B-schools have been known to "group" applicants in ethnic, gender, and professional categories for administrative purposes, but that certainly does not mean that they are accepting and rejecting candidates based solely on those labels and groupings.
The purpose of the admissions process is to allow the admissions committee an opportunity to get to know you as an individual — beyond labels. It's your job to show the adcom that you are not simply another face in the crowd of Indian (or American, for that matter) IT males, but that you are a unique, category-less group of ONE. You are not Indian, not American, not American Indian, not Indian American, not IT, and not male; you are YOU.
Don't get hung up on the group or the label. Instead, focus on ways you can draw out your individuality. It is true that you will need to work on this harder than, say, an entrepreneurial woman from a village in the Himalayas, but that's not to say it can't be done.
By constructing killer essays that come alive with your personality, your diverse interests and talents, and your not-to-be-overlooked strengths and passions, you'll prove that your candidacy is equal in competitiveness to our Himalayan applicant.
That was my response to our Indian IT male friend, but it can be applied to anyone who is getting bogged down in the labels and losing focus on the process of individuating. Think about what sets you apart from your group.
Highlight your uniqueness in your essays, and the adcoms will get a clear look at how you — not your group — will contribute to your chosen MBA program or profession.
Talk about some of your non-work hobbies/volunteer work/passions and how the experience you've gained from that involvement has led to your interest in a graduate business degree. For example, in addition to your IT day job, you volunteer in an inner-city public school, and your passion in that work has led you to explore the field of management and edtech.
Discuss some of the less-obvious skills that you may have acquired from your field. For example, you may be in IT, but in designing an online trading platform, you've learned a whole lot about finance.
Focus on the stability of your "typical" background, and how your mastery of the industry has inspired you to test yourself and push yourself to new heights. For example, you've been working in your family business since you were a teenager, and are ready to make real waves and disrupt the status quo with the skill that you're seeking in business school.
Last but not least, don't stress. Just because you are an Indian IT guy (or a member of some other common subgroup in the applicant pool), doesn't mean that you don't possess other unique qualities that will make you an attractive candidate at top B-schools.
You are unique, whether you realize it or not, and Accepted's expert admissions consultants can help you identify your individuality and highlight it in your applications. Check out Accepted's MBA Admissions Consulting Services to learn how we can help you stand out from the crowd and get accepted to business school!


Above you will find the links to the vendor applications. Please go over the applications as some changes have been added. Kentuck Day Festival will take place on Saturday, July 27, 2019. Art in the Square will be held Saturday, September 21, 2019.


To top off Nintendo's Indie showcase last week, we got a special treat! Brace yourself Games, the devs behind the Indie hit, Crypt of the NecroDancer, are working on a new game with a similar feel, but partnering with one of the greatest Nintendo franchises of all time!
Cadence of Hyrule brings the rhythmic fun of Crypt of the NecroDancer and merges it nicely with the world of The Legend of Zelda. You can play as Link, Zelda, or Cadence and bounce your way through randomly generated dungeons and overworlds, battling monsters and bosses on a quest to save Hyrule. The style is charming and fun, and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
Let's acknowledge how revolutionary this game actually is. Honestly, this came as a giant shock to me, as I'm sure it has with many others. Nintendo gave licensing rights to an indie developer, trusting them to represent their brand that they set of Link, Zelda, and the franchise as a whole, and merge with with their own. It's mind boggling! Does this mean we can expect more crossovers in the future? Will Shovel Knight be platforming with Mario? Will Shantae meet Kirby? I can't help but dream about what other indie devs Nintendo would be willing to work with in this fashion.
While I was super shocked with this announcement, in hindsight, I feel like this was such an obvious next step. The Nintendo Switch is such an indie-friendly platform. Plus, this isn't the first time Nintendo has trusted one of their biggest brands with another developer: Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle, anyone? Nintendo took a risk and reaped the benefits of outsourcing non-internal developers to crossover their (Nintendo's) own characters with a 3rd party company's (Ubisoft's) own franchises. Cadence of Hyrule is just another example of that.
Imagine the doors this could open! Final Fantasy meets Fire Emblem… Ratchet and Clank meets Banjo-Kazooie… I could go on for days. The point I'm trying to make is that Nintendo is a risk-taking company. It might not always work out, but when it does, it's huge. I hope that this opens Microsoft, Sony, and other developers out there to ideas of a similar nature – not only to crossover big franchises, but to also bring smaller indie developers into the light. Who knows? Maybe we'll see Cadence as DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Please?
What do you guys think of Cadence of Hyrule? Also, what other indie crossovers would you like to see from Nintendo? Hit us up on the Twitters!

"The University of North Dakota was famously known as the Fighting Sioux from 1930 until 2012, when the university retired the nickname. The school had been one of 18 institutions @ncaasports singled out in 2005 for having an American Indian mascot it deemed hostile or abusive. The university appealed, lost and chose to fight in court. The dispute dragged on until June 2012, when North Dakota voters overwhelmingly chose to phase out the nickname. But the #FightingSioux legacy is not going away quickly or quietly. The photographer @timgruber took this photo of North Dakota fans at a recent men's hockey game against Minnesota-Duluth. More than half of the announced crowd of 11,890 wore Sioux-themed attire, and mentions of the Fighting Hawks, a new nickname chosen in an online vote last November, drew boos. #regram from @nytimessports" By nytimes on Instagram.


rabbits, hamsters (especially Syrian and dwarf hamsters), mice and rats.
Here are a few fun facts about pets!
Parrots, according to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), are the nation's fourth most popular pet; according to a 2012 survey conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), 3.1 percent of U.S. households owned birds. Some parrots can scream as loud as an ambulance siren. These birds are beautiful, but they're difficult to care for and require lots of space, so the HSUS doesn't recommend keeping them as pets at all.
One survey found that 81 percent of cat owners let their felines sleep on the bed, compared to 73 percent of dog owners.
The red-eared slider is one of the most popular pet turtles in the United States. They grow to be a foot long and can live for up to 20 years.
Of the many species of hamsters, the five most commonly kept as pets are Syrian, Dwarf Campbells Russian, Dwarf Winter White Russian, Chinese, and Roborovski. As anyone who's had one of these rodents knows, they can fit an insane amount of stuff in their cheeks. How do they do it? When the BBC x-rayed a hamster eating for the series Pets - Wild at Heart, they discovered that the animals' cheek pouches extend down to their hips.
There are 49 domesticated rabbit breeds recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.
According to the ASPCA, around 2.7 million shelter animals are adopted each year. Interesting in adopting a pet? Make sure to do your research ahead of time to find the animal that's right for you!
Post a picture of your pet with your kids on our facebook page at www.facebook.com/mykingstonkids. By submitting a photo you will enter our pet photo contest and may win a copy of the MyKingstonKids Morning Mix CD: Vol 1-The Break Out.


Politics is politics. Spin and ambiguity are part of the game. But if you can't even take a full-throated, non-weasely position against torture and abuse of prisoners in American custody, what the hell good are you?

Support the caravan, smash all borders
Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 9:31AM
NEW YORK CITY, January 30–Tonight, the National Writers Union held a forum where volunteers reported on their experience at the Mexican/U.S. border as part of the New Sanctuary Caravan project, to stand in solidarity with workers who have traveled thousands of miles in a caravan from Central America, fleeing poverty and violence. These national borders are one of the great evils of capitalism. The capitalist bosses travel freely around the world seeking profits and destroying the lives of workers.
Attending the forum were union and immigration activists, journalists, teachers, and retired workers of all ages, including members and friends of the Progressive Labor Party. Two of the speakers were members of the National Writers Union, a local of the United Auto Workers (UAW), which has organized other UAW locals to provide money and volunteers for this project.
"The meeting between U.S. volunteers and the fleeing migrants has been transformative," said one audience member, himself a volunteer, praising the New Sanctuary Coalition and El Otro Lado for providing food, shelter, legal aide, staff, and space in Tijuana, while building international solidarity with the slogan of "no borders." However, he added, "there's a need for more than defensive action, more than aid. We need more bold action, more political leadership." To follow up this person's point we need communist leadership that fights for a world run by the working class.
He then told how refugees living in one shelter were ordered by Mexican police to leave or be ejected by force. When they refused to leave, volunteers went and stood in front of the shelter. The police retreated. A nice example of working class power.
The thousands who have been flocking to the border directly contradict Trump and his supporters' racist characterization of immigrants as "criminals." People are outraged at the plight of migrants, who are stopped at the border, then forced to wait weeks, even months, before they're allowed to cross and apply for asylum.
One refugee, a woman in a shelter, told a volunteer that she fled from her home, after a gang member threatened to kill her and her children if she didn't continue paying "rent." Desperate, she joined the caravan leaving her children behind, not realizing the asylum process could take years before she would see them again.
A doctor in the audience linked the border crisis to current U.S. government efforts to replace the president of Venezuela with a right-wing leader. Guaido, the right wing leader, is a puppet of U.S. imperialism and the corrupt President Maduro is a stooge of Chinese and Russian imperialism. Workers need to reject both (See editorial, page 2).
"All my patients are undocumented," she said. "We need to see this situation as part of a long history of U.S. imperialism forcing people to flee." Most current refugees are from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, countries with a long history of repressive regimes supported by the U.S.
Another person reminded listeners that restrictive immigration policies are a "bi-partisan" effort. Greatly expanding the size of the Border Patrol, building walls, and increasing spending for border security began under Democratic President Clinton.
The biggest victory of organizing support for the humanitarian crisis is the potential to change mass consciousness among millions of workers. The UAW, with 40,000 members in this region, is committing thousands of dollars to support volunteers. Other activists are organizing to get Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of NY Courts as well as to provide money, vans, and medical relief. PLP will continue to organize in our unions, community organizations, schools, and workplaces to develop and transform mass class-consciousness into a working class political force with the power to smash all borders with communist revolution

The studio has finally confirmed The Hollywood Reporter's news from October than the Sherlock star would take the lead role in Scott Derrickson's adaptation of the 1960s series created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
In a statement from Marvel, studio president Kevin Feige said that the role "requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity," adding that Cumberbatch "will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character."

Misc UI/UX App Development Insights
iOS 13 New Features Recognized as Top Developers by Clutch Get Started With Kotlin Home Audio Recording For Everyone 6 UX Tips to make Best Ecommerce Websites
iOS 13 New Features
By: webadmin
A Whole new look.
On a whole new level.
iOS 13 introduces a bold new look, major updates to the apps you use every day, new ways to help you protect your privacy, and improvements across the entire system that make your iPhone even faster and more delightful to use.
iOS 13 Dark Mode
Dark Mode in iOS 13 is going to be system-wide, meaning it'll change the hues from bright white and light grey to black and dark gray on all supported apps. That's going to be a nice feature when you're using your iPhone at night and want to avoid bright white hues.
It may also save battery life on the OLED-equipped iPhones, from the iPhone X onward.
Apple didn't talk about this at all, but we know that OLED displays essentially 'turn off' pixels when rendering blacks.
Turning on iOS 13 Dark Mode can be done in Control Centre, according to Apple, or you can set it automatically to turn on at night. Night shift finally gets a companion, and a lot of people couldn't be happier.
iOS 13 features a QuickPath keyboard
With iOS 13, Apple's default QuickType keyboard will be incorporating swipe-to-type, a popular way of sliding across the keyboard to form words. We've used this in prior iOS keyboard extensions like Google's Gboard and SwiftKey.
You can use the QuickType and QuickPath methods of typing interchangeably, and so far supported languages include English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese is now included.
CAMERA AND PORTRAIT MODE CHANGES
The iOS 13 is going to offer important changes to camera features, starting with enabling you to change the intensity of light in Portrait Mode, which is something we've wanted for a while. Portrait mode is also getting a new monochromatic effect called High‑Key Mono.
The Photos gallery is becoming what Apple called "a diary of your life", with a new tab designed to document your best photos by day, month and year. You'll also have more pinch controls to zoom in and out of the Photos gallery.
The photo apps will automatically organise photos by year, month and date, which will make it easier for you to find photos.
Live photos and videos play as you scroll.
MAPS GET REVAMPED
iOS 13 Maps looks a lot better, even if everyone likes to hate on it. Will it ever be better than Google Maps? No, probably not. But for people who want Apple's pre-loaded maps app on iOS 13, it'll be much better.
There's way more detail here by way of Apple rebuilding maps from the ground up. There's more realistic detail for roads, beaches, parks, and buildings, and you can now explore cities with a 3D 360-degree experience.
Favourites were a part of Maps before, but iOS 13 makes these saved locations easier to navigate to with one tap – they appear at the very top of a search menu. Sometimes Google Maps on iOS doesn't get this right (but does better on Android). That's one reason to keep Apple Maps installed, even if you're a Google Maps person.
REMINDERS GETS A BIG OVERHAUL
Of all the built-in apps, Reminders is getting the biggest revamp in iOS 13. It appears to be better organized, and includes shortcuts that make it easier to add reminders.
Big, colour-coded buttons for Today, Scheduled, All and Flagged categories offer you a better oversight of your pressing tasks, while the keyboard when you're in this app has a top-line Quick Toolbar that acts as a shortcut to easily add times, dates, locations, flags, photos and scanned documents.
Making plans in Messages? Siri will step into suggest reminders that can be created, like a personal assistant who chimes in at all the right times.
MEMOJI GETS MAKEUP, MESSAGES GETS INFO SHARING
Apple is putting more of 'Me' in Memoji, allowing one trillion configurations: new hairstyles, headwear, makeup, and piercings to name a few categories. Examples on the WWDC stage showed that these personalised Animoji masks allow for such granular accessory detail as eyeshadow, braces and even AirPods.Memoji Stickers are something entirely new – iOS 13 will bring more iPhone and iPad users into the Memoji fold, True Depth camera or not.
You can customise a Memoji and iOS 13 will automatically create a fun-looking sticker pack that lives in a sub-menu on the keyboard, which you can use in Messages, Mail, and third‑party apps.
You'll be able to share your personalised Memoji with contacts through iMessages, but only when you grant them access.
IOS 13 DEBUTS NEW 'FIND MY' APP
Apple is combining Find My Friends and Find My iPhone in iOS 13, and the union lets you locate your friends and missing gadgets with a faster, easier-to-use interface.
What's really neat is that it'll use a crowd-sourced encrypted Bluetooth signal to help you track down devices that aren't connected to Wi-Fi or cellular. That's mostly a big help for Macs, but it could also help with an iPhone in rare cases,too.
PRIVACY:SIGN-IN WITH APPLE
Apple is adding a new Sign In with Apple privacy feature, that gives you a convenient and data safe way to sign into apps and websites. Your Apple ID will be able to authenticate your account via Touch ID or Face ID, and developers will see a unique random ID rather than your real info.
Apple can even generate single-use randomized email addresses, so you never have to give your real email address away to an app again. Two-factor authentication is built in to this feature to give you even more security. Apple is taking on Facebook Connect, Google and other platforms that allow you to conveniently sign in to third-party accounts. Sign-in with Apple is poised to protect your privacy more than Facebook and Google do.
What's neat is that if you don't want to work over your email to an app developer or website, Apple will create a unique random email for you, and the email will be unique to that site or app.
SIRI FINDS A NEW VOICE
Siri, Apple's new voice assistant, gets an audio update in iOS 13. Instead of clipped voices, Apple is hoping the new Siri sounds smoother and more natural to your ears. Using AI software (a neural talk-to-speak network, specifically), Siri will speak with fewer gaps and non-human sounding modulations.
iOS 13's Siri also works better with AirPods, the HomePod, CarPlay and Safari:
Create personalised shortcuts using a new Shortcuts app.
Suggested automations so you can customise your and create a template.
Siri reads messages as soon as they arrive and you can instantly respond.
Share a movie or song with friend with one tap.
Hand off a phone call or music from your iPhone to your HomePod.
CarPlay: Siri smart suggestions work here, like suggesting you open your garage door when you get close to home.
Siri Suggestions comes to the Safari browser.
CARPLAY IN IOS 13
CarPlay in iOS 13 has been overhauled with a new Dashboard view for music, maps, and more, a new Calendar app, and Siri support for third-party navigation and audio apps.
Real time lyric playback for supported tracks is now built into Music, whether you're using Apple Music streaming or playing from your downloaded library.
Apple's email app now supports rich fonts, which is nice.
Notes will get a lot more useful in iOS 13 with a better interface and options, where it has been feature-light it will get a great Gallery view and proper folder system with tagging to help you archive better.
As well as getting a click of dark paint with the rest of the Apple apps, Messages got an update to include something a bit more fun (or annoying, depending on your opinion) in Memoji and Animoji integration.
You can add your Memoji or Animoji to your contact card and see your contacts better in the app.Memoji stickers will let you send Bitmoji's stickers of your face to anyone with Messages, but Apple says it will work with third party messaging apps like WhatsApp. It also said these stickers will work across all iOS devices with an A9 chip or later (iPhone 6s and above).
A couple of new features will come to AirPods if you upgrade to iOS 13. Siri will read you incoming messages and, with Announce Messages, let you reply without using any trigger words. This cool feature will be available for third party messaging apps too.
You'll also be able to share audio between iOS 13 devices with a tap, playing audio to two pairs of AirPods.
Finally, iOS 13 on iPhone will let you HandOff audio to your HomePod and vice versa. This will work for all audio including phone calls.
More new iOS 13 features
Send call spam straight to voicemail and silence unknown callers.
Mute thread in Mail.
Add attachments to events in Calendar.
Time-synced lyrics when you play music.
Support for 3D Augmented Reality apps like Minecraft Earth, coming to iOS 13 this summer.
Face ID unlocking is now 30 percent faster.

Get Started With Kotlin
Kotlin is a new programming language from JetBrains and supported by Google for mobile development. Kotlin is a platform independent language. It also provide type safety as an example, the type system helps you avoid null pointer exceptions. It is general purpose programming language with type inference.
Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to Java Script or native code. It is focused on interoperability, safety, clarity, and tooling support. The prime reason for this adoption was its modernity – in terms of its power, flexibility, and democratic approach.
KOTLIN VS JAVA
While Java is almost ruling enterprise world, Kotlin is emerging as most loved programming language among Android developers. Certainly, there should be several reasons behind its popularity over Java.
Certainly, Kotlin's widespread usage in no time indicates its ability to replace Java, but Java's ecosystem is quite large and Kotlin is influenced by Java to a greater extent. As of now, it seems unfeasible considering Java's grown-up community.
Let's search a little deeper:
One of the reasons why organizations today are adopting Kotlin for their Android app development requirements is because it is an officially supported language to write Android apps. Kotlin code is more safer and more concise than Java code, and that Kotlin and Java files can coexist in Android apps, so that Kotlin is not only useful for new apps, but also for expanding existing Java apps.
This language is seamlessly integrated with Android Studio and this makes it fast.
A Kotlin project can be set up to function in less than 10 minutes, even for a first timer. Kotlin offers many advanced programming features than Java.
Let's take a look at the comparison of features
USEFUL FEATURE AND BENEFITS OF KOTLIN
Ever since Google made Kotlin as the official language for Android, there is one question we've been asked at least one-hundred times!
"Should we move from Java to Kotlin?"
To answer this question we all need to know the benefits of Kotlin. Knowing all the benefits in detail automatically answer the former question. Let's see some of the useful feature and key benefits of Kotlin which actually made it superior to Java
EASY CODING
Kotlin is not a difficult language that is born in academia. Any programmer from OOP domain is familiar with its syntax. It can be understood easily by beginners as well as experienced programmers. It is somewhat different from Java, as there are some reworked constructors or variable declarations.
Kotlin needs 20% less coding compared to Java. Java is a bit outdated, which means every new launch has to support features included in the previous version. This eventually increases the code to write, resulting in absence of layer to layer architecture. If you compare the coding of Java class and Kotlin class, you will find that the one written in Kotlin will be much more compact than the one written in Java.
Here is the example of coding which describe clear difference between length of code of Java vs. Kotlin
ANDROID STUDIO SUPPORT
As said above, Kotlin is developed by JetBrains and it is no surprise that Android Studio has excellent support for Kotlin. Android Studio makes it easier to configure Kotlin in your project, just like opening a few menus. Your IDE will have no problem understanding, compiling and running Kotlin Code, once you have set up Kotlin for Android Studio. After configuring Kotlin for Android Studio, you can convert the entire Java source file into Kotlin file.
MASS ADOPTION
While Kotlin was in development since 2011, but its adoption rate skyrocketed after Google's 2017 I/O event. Kotlin is an open-source and free programming language created by JetBrains.
In fact, according to JetBrains, the adoption rate of Kotlin has become so high that they predict Kotlin will overtake Java for Android App Development this year.
ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE
Kotlin is not just concise, but it also makes the Android app development process a lot more stable by reducing app crashes and removing bugs. That means, when your Android app is missing these common issues, the user experience automatically gets better.
One of the reasons why Kotlin came into existence is because its parent company JetBrains had some specific requirements from a programming language that they were going to use themselves. It also offers practical value for its parent company which uses it for its own line of products. This also makes them interested in further developing it. With Google support, two innovative companies are working together towards its development.
EXAMPLE OF APP IN KOTLIN
Kotlin has not only put in major efforts in the initial conceptualization of the language as its history suggests, but it is also making significant alterations to it for its future success. Features like the Kotlin Android Extensions, libraries like Anko, continuous library size optimizations, and build times, all of these suggest JetBrains' commitment towards the further development of Kotlin for Android app development.
Here are the 4 Famous Startups' Android Apps That Were Either Made Using Kotlin or Migrated from Java to Kotlin
The famous photo-sharing social service decided to use Kotlin and move away from Java in their Android app. They presented the pros and cons of using Kotlin in production at Droidcon NYC 2016. What might seem a little shocking is that Kotlin was used in such a popular app with its massive user base even before Google announced the first-class support for this language.
100,000,000+ downloads from Google Play, average rating 4.6 from 3,922,994 reviews.
Coursera is an educational company providing open online courses conducted by remarkable universities and institutes such as Stanford and Yale. Coursera doesn't have separate Android and iOS organizations. They only have the concept of mobile and that's why they decided to start using Kotlin. Kotlin is similar to Swift, a relatively new programming language for iOS development. This results in easier knowledge sharing between engineers, better communication, and more efficient overall development.
5,000,000+ downloads from Google Play, average rating of 4.4 from 88,196 reviews.
Trello is a well-known project-management application, currently owned by Atlassian. For their Android app, the new code is written in Kotlin. However, they're not going to do a full code conversion of the old codebase. Working with Java and Kotlin at the same time is possible thanks to the great interoperability between the two languages.
Evernote is an app designed for note-taking, organizing, task lists, and archiving. Evernote integrated Kotlin into their Android client. A little more about the technical details of their adventures with Kotlin integration can be found on Evernote's blog.
100,000,000+ downloads from Google Play, average rating of 4.6 from 1,480,514 reviews.
We are living in the world where change is the only constant. The platform, technology, programming language, everything is changing rapidly in the mobile app development world. Besides, the benefits stated above, it is easy to work on it along with Java and C++ on Android. Kotlin will continue to be developed by JetBrains. It may target other platforms such as iOS and Mac, and compile to JavaScript for web development. If you want a concise way to code for Android, then Kotlin is the best option.
If you have questions or are experiencing challenges with time-to-market, efficiency, quality, or cost regarding your app development we'd love to work with you to pinpoint how you can get best app development with efficiency and quality. Get in touch with us. Click Here for more.

Q: Proof by induction of a 2 player dot removal game Consider a 2 player game where there are two rows of dots with row 1 having $n_1$ dots and row 2 having $n_2$ dots. The players can remove any number of dots from their row during their turn but the number they remove must be greater than 0 and the current player can only remove the dots from one row. The player who is forced to remove the last dot loses.
If $n_1 = n_2$ and both are greater than $0$, prove by strong induction that it is possible for the second player to win. What happens if $n_1$ and $n_2$ are not equal?
Starting with the proof, for the base case I assume that $n=2$. In this case, the game could proceed as such: For a player 2 winning strategy, player 1 removes 1 dot, player 2 removes two dots, and player 1 removes 1 dot, so he loses.
The inductive hypothesis I came up with is that $\forall i \leq k$,if $n_1=n_2=i$, then player 2 wins. Since this is strong induction, this assumes for up to $k$ dots.
However, the inductive step is where I'm lost. I want to prove for $k+1$ dots. How would I go about doing this? Can you explain your thought process through each part of solving the inductive step?

A: As stated the claim is false because the first player wins $n_1=n_2=1$ by taking either dot and forcing the second player to take the last.  You need $n_1=n_2 \ge 2$ for a second player win.  Your base case is only half done.  You have shown one choice for the first player leads to a second player win, but need to show that the other one does, too.  It works the same way.
Strong induction says you assume the truth of a statement for all values up to $k$, then prove it is true for $k+1$.  If you have $n_1=n_2=k+1$ the first player can take $k+1, k,$ or less than $k$ dots.  If he takes $k+1,$ the second player takes $k$ and wins.  If he takes $k,$ the second player takes $k+1$ and wins.  If he takes less than $k$ there will be at least $2$ dots left in the row he took from.  The second player then takes the same number from the other row, leaving two equal rows of at least two dots, which we have assumed is a second player win, so $n_1=n_2=k+1$ is a second player win.

A: If $n_1=n_2=1$, it's clear that player 2 can't win. So adjusting the question for $n_1=n_2\ge2$, and you've already dealt with the base case, the induction hypothesis should be
"Suppose $P(i)$ is true for $2\le i\le k$" where $P(i)$ is the statement "If $n_1=n_2=i$, then player 2 CAN win" (meaning it's possible for player 2 to win, NOT always wins).
Let $n_1=n_2=k+1$. Player 1 has to pick a row and some dots $1\le n\le k+1$.
CASE 1: If player 1 picks, say from row 1, some dots $1\le n\le k-1$, then row 1 has at least $k+1-(k-1)=2$ dots left and at most $k+1-(1)=k$ dots left. Then player 2 can pick, from the other row, the same number $n$ dots so $2\le n_1=n_2\le k$. By induction hypothesis, player 2 can win so $P(k+1)$.
CASE 2: Now suppose player 1 picks $n=k$ dots, then the above method doesn't work since then $n_1=n_2=1$. Row 1 has $k-1-(k)=1$ dot left so we have player 2 pick, from the other row, all the dots so player 1 is then forced to pick the last dot so $P(k+1)$.
CASE 3: If player 1 picks $n=k+1$, i.e. all the dots, then player 2 picks, from the other row, $k$ dots so the only row left with dots has a single dot left, so player 1 is then forced to pick the last dot so $P(k+1)$.
By strong induction, for $n\ge2$, $P(n)$ is true.
By the way, I interpreted the question as player 2 can win for ANY/EVERY move player 1 can make, thus all these cases. If you interpret the question as player 2 can win for SOME move player 1 can make, then we don't need induction. In fact, we never really needed induction. Let $n_1\ge 2$, $n_2\ge1$ (or the other way around, it doesn't matter), player 1 takes $n_1-1$ from row 1, player 2 takes all from row 2, player 1 takes the last dot from row 1, we're done. Then $n_1=n_2\ge2$ is a special case.

Banasthali Vidyapith is a fully residential women's higher education institute which offers an integrated system extending from the primary to the Ph.D. level.
It was on October 6, 1935 that Smt. Ratan Shastri and Pandit Hiralal Shastri founded Banasthali to fill up the vacuum caused by the sudden death of their highly talented and promising daughter Shantabai. They had high expectations that she would work for women's cause when she would grow up. But destiny ordained otherwise.
Thus, Banasthali owes its existence neither to the zeal of an educationist, nor to that of a social reformer. It is also not the creation of a Philanthropist's purse. It has arisen like the fabled phoenix from the ashes of a blossoming flower Shantabai.
Banasthali is one of the five higher education institute in India meant exclusively for Women. Over these seventy five years Banasthali has developed into a National Centre for women's education. Banasthali's educational programme aims at an all-round development of the student's personality. To achieve its objective of 'synthesis of spiritual values and scientific achievements of the East and the West', it has evolved Five-fold Educational Programme (Panchmukhi Shiksha) comprising of the following aspects : (i) Physical, (ii) Practical, (iii) Aesthetic, (iv) Moral and (v) Intellectual. This way the students develop an integrated and balanced personality.
The rural ambience of Banasthali Vidyapith is very conducive for promoting the ideology of simple living, and for imbibing and internalizing the values of self-reliance and tolerance. Following the philosophy of the balanced Panchmukhi system of education, the institute provides ample opportunities for integrated development of the personality. The stress on the positive aspects of the Indian heritage has resulted in a climate which has contributed significantly to the task of the upliftment of women to enable them to take on leadership roles with confidence.
This institute has made full use of the autonomy provided under the deemed university status and has innovatively restructured the courses offered which include subjects ranging from the traditional as well tthe emerging areas to the highest level of research (leading to the doctoral degree). Banasthali has been accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with 'A' Grade (Five star Rating). Banasthali is a recipient of SANTBAL Award in the year 2000 for the services in the field of all round education of women.


An explanation of the various features used by this website, and how to use them to your advantage when researching orchids here.
Just as the American Orchid Society (AOS) has culture sheets for orchid genres, the Napa Valley Orchid Society website takes the concept of culture sheets and applies that idea to specific orchids.
After much tinkering, tweaking and experimenting, I finally developed a "pattern" for how to display individual orchid "culture pages". These pages will contain culture information from all over the Internet, in one place, saving you the time to look on your own. They will also include supportive forum discussion snippets as well as actual tips from vendors to grow the specific orchid. All of this information is assembled in one place to help you learn more about that specific orchid.

Norwegian initiates reorganization process in Norway
Norwegian has today filed for a reconstruction under Norwegian law. This process will coexist with the Irish Examinership process.
Following Norwegian being made subject to the examinership process in Ireland on December 7, the company now wants to enter into a supplementary Norwegian reconstruction process. This was announced in a notice to the Oslo Stock Exchange.
"A supplementary reconstruction process under Norwegian law will be to the benefit of all parties and will increase the likelihood of a successful result. Our aim is to secure jobs in the company and to contribute to securing critical infrastructure and value creation in Norway," said Norwegian CEO, Jacob Schram.
"We will now concentrate on working towards our goal of reducing company debt, reducing the size of our aircraft fleet, and ensuring that we are a company that investors will find attractive. We will be ready to meet the competition for customers after the COVID-19 pandemic," said Schram.
Norwegian filed for the Irish Examinership on November 18. The processes will not have an impact on the current business. The Company will continue to operate its route network. Both its bonds and shares will continue to trade as normal on the Oslo Stock Exchange. As earlier stated, Norwegian Reward will continue as normal honoring and earning CashPoints for its members.

I made Judy's Peach Pie but wanted to try a new crust recipe with a cream cheese pastry which was delicious.
Combine the dry ingredients and work in the butter and cream cheese until you have a crumble texture. Add the cream.
At this point the dough may be chilled for an hour for easier handling, but I made my pies immediately.
I found this crust not to be as flaky as my other one, but richer and very tasty. This amount makes 2-8 or 9 inch double crusted pies. Just double the filling if you are using Judy's recipe for peach pie. I highly recommend you do as peach pie is awesome!!!
This looks delicious and one of my friends on facebook says that this is her favorite crust for her pecan pie!

Q: Differentiating matrices and and lists of lists in JSON Suppose I have the matrix
[[1, 2, 3, 4]
 [5, 6, 7, 8]
 [9,10,11,12]]

and the list of lists
[[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]]

what JSON representations are in use that would enable differentiation of those two without ambiguity?

A: Note: I think you can get more attention and a better answer if you add 'JavaScript' tag into the question.
First Matrix according to https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
[[1, 2, 3, 4]
 [5, 6, 7, 8]
 [9,10,11,12]]

is not in valid JSON format, so I think you may have to write it as a two dimensional array like so:
[[1, 2, 3, 4],
 [5, 6, 7, 8],
 [9,10,11,12]]

Since the white space of JSON are ignored (Are whitespace characters insignificant in JSON?) the code will be equivalent to [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]]. Meaning when you pass an AJAX call you will get/send(whether you GET or POST) the Matrix in [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]] format. Thus Matrices in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) are represented in this list of lists.
However, if you truly want to differentiate a Matrix from other list of list in JSON you can add a object to it to specify that this list of list is special.
{
  "ImportantMatrix": [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]]
}

Once this JSON is returned you can use JavaScript to retrieve the Matrix. Like the example shown here:

var text = '{"ImportantMatrix": [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]]}';

obj = JSON.parse(text);

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =JSON.stringify(obj.ImportantMatrix)
<!DOCTYPE html>

Snippet taken from: http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_json_parse
However this is assuming that you have full control and can change the format of what JSON you are getting.
