Q: Fill a div with a reponsive  and position centrally How can I ensure that the img within the container is centered and scaling correctly from mobile to desktop? Here is a demo on Codepen. Scale to mobile to better understand the problem
HTML

CSS
.image-container{
 width: 100%;
 height: 500px;
 max-height: 500px;
 background: red;
 overflow: hidden;
 text-align: center;
 position: relative;
 display: block;
 }

 img{
 height: auto;
 width: 100%;
 max-width: 100%;
 position: absolute;
 top: -50%;
 left: 0;
}

I ask this because the image loses it height on mobile and looks incorrect. I sort of what this to work like `background-size: cover. I'd like the image to completely fill the container

A: To center image horizontally and vertically inside div you can set top: 50% and left: 50% and then just add transform: translate(-50%, -50%).
To make image responsive you can use max-width: 100% and by default height is auto.

.image-container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  background: red;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
}
img {
  max-width: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

Other option is to use Flexbox if you don't want to use relative/absolute position but to keep img responsive you can use object-fit: contain with height: 100%

.image-container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  background: red;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
  object-fit: contain;
}

If you want img to behave like background-size: cover one way to that is to use object-fit: cover with height: 100% and width: 100%

body,
html {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
.image-container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  background: red;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}

A: You can add margin:0 auto; to align center horizontally. Remove width:100% as this will stretch width of an image unless you want it to. Keep height:auto to adjust with width.

.image-container{
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  max-height: 500px;
  background: red;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-align: center;
  position: relative;
  display: block;
}

img{
 height: auto;
 max-width: 100%;
 margin:0 auto;
}

The closing conference for Heythrop College - which took place from the 4th to the 7th of July - was an important, moving and hope-filled event, as over three days the teaching and administration staff, alumnae, and friends of Heythrop gathered, to celebrate all that was best about this institution.
A number of the presentations were given over to telling Heythrop's story, which is also the story of the remarkable Jesuits who enacted the transition from the Oxfordshire countryside to the centre of London.
So Brendan Callaghan's public lecture, 'Heythrop and the University', and Michael Barnes' concluding overview of Heythop's 'pilgrimage', were of a piece with Nicholas King's tribute to Robert Murray (a lecture on the gospel of Luke); while other presentations gave heartfelt tributes to Joe Laishley and John McDade.
The 'patron saint' of the conference, however, and the one who inspired its title (a quotation from The Wreck of the Deutschland), was its most famous alumnus, Gerald Manley Hopkins. Hopkins' verse was liberally quoted throughout the conference; in the words of Michael Barnes, he represents an enigmatic relationship between aesthetic sensibility, philosophical training and theological commitment, which calls us to 'read the mystery'.
'Let Him Easter in Us' echoed the desire of all present to ensure that the Heythrop achievement is carried forward: as burning embers, to be fanned into glowing life; or even still-living flames, to be passed on; or as a new chapter to be written.
Heythrop's fluent and precious conversation between philosophy and theology was demonstrated in the plenary papers (Gwen Griffith-Dickson, Michael Lacewing, Anna Abram, as well as five Jesuit keynotes), and in the nearly twenty parallel papers from members of staff.
The following video of 'Memories of Heythrop', featuring testimonies of affection, and the simple eucharistic celebration presided by Fr Provincial, at which Peter Gallagher preached eloquently, were memorable highlights.
Heythrop's critical spirit was not exorcised from the proceedings. The mood was celebratory and affectionate, but there was also acknowledgement of the pain and bewilderment, still present for many people, with regard to the college's suppression.
Philip Endean's presentation on 'Ignatius Loyola and Academic Life' was a useful reminder of some of the ambiguities within the Ignatian and Jesuit tradition. At certain points in our history, the academic apostolate has been clearly subordinated to 'spiritual' ends; at other points, the academic has been more closely integrated into the overall Jesuit vision.
A number of other contributors drew on the address by Dr Rowan Williams at Heythrop's anniversary conference in 2014, which enthused about the clarity, uniqueness and necessity of the Jesuit educational vision.
There remains, for many of the Heythrop family, regret that what has been in their view a flourishing educational enterprise, dedicated to collaboration and dialogue, to clear thinking and truth-seeking, is to close.
It is to the credit of the organisers that this sadness and frustration was acknowledged, without overwhelming the mood of celebration and hope. A huge debt of gratitude is owed to the main organisers, Claire Ozanne (Heythrop's principal), Peter Gallagher, and Annabel Clarkson. And it is heartwarming to report that proceedings ended (unofficially) with a group staying behind to watch England overcome Sweden, on the way to World Cup glory!

Q: Rank of a $n! \times n$ matrix This question is about showing that $n!$ points resulting from applying a function (defined below) to the permutations of $n$ numbers lie on a $n-1$ dimensional hyperplane.
Let $X=\langle x_1,\cdots,x_n \rangle$ and $Y=\langle y_1,\cdots,y_n \rangle$ be vectors of positive reals and let $P=\langle p_1,\cdots,p_n \rangle$ be a permutation of the numbers $\{1,\cdots,n\}$. Let,
$$
y_i=\log\left(1+\frac{x_i}{1+\sum\limits_{p_j<\,p_i}x_j}\right)
$$
be a mapping from $X,P$ to $Y$.
So, for any given vector $X$, we have $n!$ (one for each permutation) output vectors $Y$.
Let $Y_P$ denote a vector resulting from permutation $P$.
Now, for a given $X$, create a matrix $M$ such that each row of it is $Y_P-Y_{P_1}$ for a fixed $P_1$ and for all $P$.
$$
M=\begin{bmatrix} Y_{P_1}-Y_{P_1} \\ Y_{P_2}-Y_{P_1} \\ \vdots \\ Y_{P_{n!}}-Y_{P_1} \end{bmatrix}
$$
So, $M$ is a $n! \times n$ matrix. I have two questions:

*

*I guess the rank of $M$ is at most $n-1$, that is all of $Y$'s lie on a hyperplane of dimension $n-1$ (I verified it for $n=3$ and $n=4$). Is that true or not? Why?

*For what sort of mappings from $X,P$ to $Y$, is the answer to the previous question positive?

Edit 3:
I realized that for all of the permutations, $\sum_i y_i = \log(1+\sum_i x_i)$ and as Chris Culter commented below, this might be the solution to the problem.
The proof of inequality is long but an example clears its correctness: consider $n=3$ and $P=\langle 1, 2, 3 \rangle$,
$$
\begin{align}
y_1+y_2+y_3&=
\log(1+\frac{x_1}{1+x_2+x_3})+
\log(1+\frac{x_2}{1+x_3})+
\log(1+\frac{x_3}{1})\\
&=
\log(\frac{1+x_1+x_2+x_3}{1+x_2+x_3})+
\log(\frac{1+x_2+x_3}{1+x_3})+
\log(\frac{1+x_3}{1})\\
&=
\log(1+x_1+x_2+x_3).
\end{align}
$$
Since any other permutation only renames $x_1$, $x_2$, and $x_3$, the output remains the same.
Edit 2:
The problem has a specific structure which may help solving it: The $n!$ points consist of $n$ ensembles of $(n-1)!$ points. Ensemble $i$ consists of all of the points $Y_P$ such that $i^{th}$ element of $P$ is 1. Therefore, all of the points in ensemble $i$ has the same $y_i$.
For example, for $n=3$, there are 3 ensembles of 2 points (6 points in total).
All of the points lie on a 2D plane.
The following figure shows an example in 3D:

Points in the same ensemble have a same colour. The labels beside the points denote the permutation that generates the point. So, points 123 and 132 are in ensemble 1, points 213 and 312 are in ensemble 2 (1 is the second element of their permutation), and points 231 and 321 are in ensemble 3 (1 is the third element of their permutation).
For $n=4$, there are 4 ensembles of 6 points (24 points in total). Since all of the points in 4D lie on a 3D plane, we can project the points into the 3D space. Here is an example:

Higher dimensions are recursively constructed as described above.
So, for $n=5$, there are 5 ensembles of the form shown above (in 4D).
This recursive nature can be useful for solving the problem.
Edit 3:

*

*I used Mathematica to verify my conjecture for $n=3$ to $8$ and it's correct. See my other question on Mathematica.SE. For $n>8$, because of the exponential running time of the algorithm, it's hard to verify the conjecture.

*The above conjecture also holds for the following mapping functions:
$$
y_i={x_i}-{\sum\limits_{p_j<\,p_i}x_j}
$$
$$
y_i={x_i}^3-{\sum\limits_{p_j<\,p_i}{x_j}^2}
$$

*

*But it does not hold for the following functions:

$$
y_i=\log\left(\frac{x_i}{1+\sum\limits_{p_j<\,p_i}x_j}\right)
$$
$$
y_i={x_i}^3-\left(\sum\limits_{p_j<\,p_i}x_j\right)^2
$$

A: Answer to the first question As Chris Culter guessed, the
answer is YES and this is because $\sum_{i}y_i=\ln(1+\sum_{i} x_i)$. The
proof of this last identity is not difficult, it is basically a change
of indices and a careful use of notation (see below).
What you have here is a telescoping sum (or product, depending on the way
in which you look at it), but disposed according to a random order (depending
on the permutation $p$).
$$
\begin{array}{lcl}
e^{\prod_{i=1}^n y_i}
&=&\prod_{i=1}^n e^{y_i} \\
&=& \prod_{i=1}^n \frac{1+x_i+\sum_{p(j)<p(i)}x_j}{1+\sum_{p(j)<p(i)}x_j} \\
&=& \prod_{I=1}^n \frac{1+x_{p^{-1}(I)}+\sum_{J<I}x_{p^{-1}(J)}}
{1+\sum_{J<I}x_{p^{-1}(J)}} \ \text{(where we put } I=p(i),J=p(j) \text{)} \\
&=& \prod_{I=1}^n \frac{1+z_I+\sum_{J=1}^{I-1}z_J}
{1+\sum_{J=1}^{I-1}z_J} \ \text{(where we put } z_I=x_{p^{-1}(I)} \text{)} \\
&=& \prod_{I=1}^n \frac{t_I}
{t_{I-1}} \ \text{(where we put } t_I=1+\sum_{J=1}^{I}z_J \text{)} \\
&=& \frac{t_N}
{t_0}=1+x_1+x_2+\ldots +x_n.
\end{array}
$$
Partial answer to the second question
When $y_i$ is of the form $A(x_i)-\sum_{p(j)<p(i)}B(x_j)$ where
$A$ and $B$ are functions, your conjecture still holds, because
$$
\sum_{i}B(x_i)y_i=\sum_{i}A(x_i)B(x_i)-\frac{1}{2}\sum_{I\neq J}B(x_I)B(x_J)
$$
When $A(x)=x$ and $B(x)=x$, you get $y_i=x_i-\sum_{p(j)<p(i)}x_j$.
When $A(x)=x^3$ and $B(x)=x^2$, you get $y_i=x_i^3-\sum_{p(j)<p(i)}x_j$.


If you've got the cash or don't want to pay interest or rental payments, this is the best deal. If you want to buy the economical are the Sheds, Garages, Cabins, Loafing Sheds, and other structures. Contact us and will be happy to help you.
Tired of running to the rental unit nearby whenever you need to find something stored away? Rent-to-Own sheds give you a backyard storage unit for as little as $62.45 per month. Plus, when you get to the end of your rental agreement, the shed is yours to keep. Check out blog post to learn more about Rent to Own Sheds.
So if you don't have the cash to pay for the shed, and are tired of paying the monthly rental fee at the rental unit, try a rent-to-own shed.
We also work with a financing company for more traditional financing. This is certainly a better deal than Rent-to-Own but it requires a credit check.

Iran plans to reduce its international trade relations only to countries that buy its crude oil, an Iranian MP told Iranian media. The new trade system will be based on bartering goods for crude, as Iran already does under a deal with Russia.
"We will use a bartering system to exchange oil for goods. This means that we will make the purchase of goods conditional on oil sales. We are telling relevant markets and countries, which will purchase our oil, that we will buy goods in case they purchase our oil," Asadollah Qarekhani, member of the parliamentary energy committee, said.
The announcement comes amid the tightening grip of the United States over Iranian oil exports, which has pushed prices higher despite OPEC's decision to increase production. The State Department has insisted that all nations that import crude oil from Iran should bring their imports down to zero as it seeks to stop the flow of oil money into Iran.
Importers have therefore found themselves between a rock and a hard place as Washington has refused to grant sanction waivers and they may have to resort to more expensive crude from other sources.
Iran, meanwhile, is also toughening its stance. President Rouhani, who is on a visit in Europe seeking to save the nuclear deal, is facing pressure from political hardliners at home, and earlier this week he hinted that Iran won't simply accept the sanctions.
"The Americans say they want to reduce Iranian oil exports to zero... It shows they have not thought about its consequences," he said, a day after he warned that cutting Iran's oil exports to zero will disrupt oil supplies in the region.
Some saw that as a veiled threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, the biggest oil chokepoint in the world. The veil was lifted yesterday by a senior commander from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who said Iran would close Hormuz if the U.S. pressures all importers to cut their deliveries from Iran to zero.

Where Can I Watch Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street (2021)?
By Ajay Katre
Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street, originally titled simply Street Gang, is a Sesame Street American documentary directed by Marilyn Agrelo based on the book of the same name by Michael Davis. Much like the book, the documentary takes audiences inside the minds and hearts of the artists, writers, and educators who created one of the most influential and enduring children's programs in television history.
It's an inspiring story about a handful of people who had a vision to provide educational equity for underserved communities, rallying lawmakers, politicians, creatives, child psychologists, celebrities, and networks to make it happen. The compelling film offers insights into exactly how the Sesame Street creators team's commitment have been striving toward a diverse cast and storyline since its inception in the 1960s, and how the inclusive messaging and no-nonsense approach to children's entertainment has positively affected the US — and the world.
The film focuses on the first two decades of Sesame Street — an experimental and ground-breaking period for the show. Its original creators, Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, tell us in their own words about how "the gang" came together, how they stayed committed to their original mission — fighting educational gaps caused by racism and poverty — through eras of political and social change, and how they approached each obstacle with a wicked sense of humour and joy. Featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street spotlights the people who entertained and educated children like never before.
Is Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street on Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime is currently streaming Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street though its not free you have to rented it.
Is Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street on HBO Max?
In December 2020, WarnerMedia announced that the film, co-produced by HBO's Documentary Films division, would air on the network and be available to stream on HBO Max, with an eventual release date of December 13, 2021.
Is Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street on Hulu?
Hulu is not offering 'Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street'. Our latest recommendations are the new season of The Great, the clever historical dramedy about young Catherine the Great; The Curse of Von Dutch, a docuseries about the crazy rise and even crazier fall of the infamous early-'00s clothing brand.
Is Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street on Netflix?
Probably not. However, you can expect to see the Sesame Street documentary on HBO later this year.
Where to watch Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street?
Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street was originally released in cinemas across the country but can now be streamed on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Vudu. Note that the documentary will run you about $14.99 to rent (or $15.99 on Vudu.).
Happily, Sesame Street is available to stream on a myriad of platforms, including PBS Kids, YouTube TV, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max. However, paying for the content you like is always recommended. We would also request our readers to avoid streaming any content illegally.

My mom has very a special relationship with my little boys. They are all best friends, and my mom doesn't go more than a day or two without seeing the kids. She has always been my best friend, so to see the relationship she has with my kids is totally amazing. I am so thankful to have such a supportive, loving Mother in my life and more than that, I am thankful that my kids have such an awesome Grandma in their lives!
So, over the weekend I started shopping and preparing for Mother's Day. It's coming up super soon on Sunday, May 10th, and I wanted to make sure that I had everything I needed to create the best Mother's Day gift ever for my Mom and Mother-in-Law.
I stopped at Walmart to pick up some cards and see what else they had that would make a nice gift. I was pleasantly greeted by the American Greetings "One Stop Shop" that had a huge selection of cards, gift bags, tissue paper, bows, and more!
I picked out some really cute cards and gift bags, and I was inspired by the floral theme of the American Greetings display to have the boys create an adorable DIY Mother's Day Flower Pot for my Mom and MIL with supplies we also found at Walmart.
We grabbed some plain clay flower pots in the garden section and a bunch of different colors of acrylic paint to decorate the pots with. We also bought beautiful Gerbera Daisy plants out in the garden section to transfer into our decorated pots.
The kids had an absolute blast painting the flower pots! They squeezed out every color of paint into paper plates, and went to work! It was so much fun to watch them paint the flower pots and pretty much the best thing ever to hear my older son say "Grandma is going to love this"!
I made sure to cover my table with a ton of paper and taped it down so that the paint didn't get all over the furniture. Somehow, though, one of my black leather chairs now has a lovely shade of green leopard-like spots.
When the boys had finished their masterpieces, we let the flower pots air dry and then transferred the flower plants into them.
Once our one-of-a-kind gifts were complete, we packaged them in super cute American Greetings floral gift bags, with adorable American Greetings cards to match! The kids are so happy with the final results of their artwork, and convinced that they made their Grandma and Nonna the best Mother's Day gifts ever! I have to say, they came out pretty cute.
You can have the best Mother's Day Ever, too! Enter below to win $4,000 in gift cards!

With $4,000 billion exchanged every day, the Forex (Foreign Exchange) market represents the most liquid market in the world (a volume approximately 10 times greater than that of the world share market). Actors present on the Forex market include banks, multinational firms and other financial establishments with the objective of covering exchange risks or making profit by speculation.
Strateo proposes 2 types of derivative products on the Forex market of which the trading strategies are very similar i.e. Forex spot trading and trading on forex pairs with future value dates via Forwards. Forex spot and forex forwards are derivative financial products of which the payoff is linked to the rise or fall of the value of an underlying currency pair. Forex spot and forex forwards are leveraged products and the investor does not become owner of the underlying asset.
Since the advent of high-speed Internet and trading platforms, we are also seeing a significant increase in the number of private investors on the Forex market. This market in fact offers several advantages to active investors. With one of the most recognized platforms world-wide, both by professionals and by private individuals, Strateo enables its customers to optimally profit from the currency market.
The real-time prices of the Forex currency pairs can be consulted on the Strateo Pro platforms.
Forex forward contracts are future foreign exchange contracts, used by companies for coverage against foreign exchange variations. Forex forward contracts in fact make it possible, on conclusion of the transaction, to fix the rate applicable on maturity. So companies with a highly developed international business can cover themselves against a potential foreign exchange fluctuation and avoid significant losses of money should rates change unfavorably. Furthermore, Forex forward contracts are also ideal instruments for profiting from discrepancies on interest rates between foreign currencies.
The operations on Forex are subject to Belgian law.

"BEHOLD THE EARTH is not merely a film, it is an experience.
"very well done and presents a beautiful treatment on connecting people to nature."
Want to share Behold The Earth at your library, campus, or event?
Synopsis: Behold the Earth is a music-rich documentary film that explores America's divorce from the outdoors through conversations with legendary scientists E.O. Wilson, Cal DeWitt, and Theo Colborn, as well as a new generation of creation-care activists within America's Christian communities.
Katharine Hayhoe, Ben Lowe, and Corina Newsome are close observers of nature bearing witness to creation, asking tough questions about church engagement with environmental issues.
Can these emerging leaders reduce the human degradations of our earth? Can they revive the reach and relevance of America's Christian and environmental movements? Film director and conservationist David Conover boldly began this film 12 years ago as an inquiry into America's separation from the outdoors, before-and-after the arrival of those known as the digital natives.

There are various things that can never be told, but, they must be understood by the couples in a relationship. There are various kinds of things that couples expect from each other, but never want to say it clearly. Especially, men are not straightforward about their expectations in a relationship. They always want their girls to understand it. So, girls, you should understand the secret expectations of your man. Here are some of the secret expectations of men stated below will help you to understand your man in a better way.
A good understanding is the base of every relationship. Men expect their girlfriend or wife to understand his decision making, work style, lifestyle, etc. He wants you to understand and support him at every stage of life. He will never tell you to do so, but, he expects it secretly.
A man expects from you to know when to give him space and when to give him attention. But, they never tell you. When he is with you, he does not want anyone to disturb the privacy. So, when you are with your guy, you must be with him completely and pay your full attention to him.
Men love to get surprises, and make them smile even at small things. So, they expect from you to plan surprise events for him, please him with gifts, and so on. So, you must make him surprised in different ways. For example, on Valentine's day, you can shower him with love and happiness by purchasing lots of Valentine gifts for boyfriend.
Being loved by someone you love is the most wonderful feeling in the world. It makes everyone feel like heaven. Men also expect to be loved by his wife or girlfriend the most. They expect you to express your love for him. They want you to do the craziest things which would show how much you love him.
Not all the time men want to pay the bills. Sometimes, they expect it from you, but, never tell you to do this. They don't want to be a kind of person who always pays. So, if you are a working woman, then it's fair to be expected sometimes to pay the bills of the expensive dates.
Men expect from his wife or girlfriend to understand and like his clothing choices. They want you to like his favorite shirt. Everyone has different taste of fashion. It might not be liked by others, but sometimes it becomes important to appreciate the dressing sense of your partner even you don't like it at all.
Giving a physical touch to your partner with love is also an important part of a healthy relationship. Men secretly want their girl to initiate intimacy. Not all the time they want to request you for the intimacy. Sometimes, they expect it from you, but never say it out loud.
So, you can keep your relationship healthy by understanding these secret expectations of your partner.

I remember entering in one souvenir shop and I wanted to buy something for my niece, but we were kinda in a rush so I said to the lady "I'll be back next week, see you then." And then next week the hurricane happened and I never went back there, I don't even know if that lady and her shop are okay.
These photos are way back from August ( my first month there; back when I had 10kg less lol - USA does that to you ) and November. I have so many photos, I don't know how to start editing all of it, and make posts, that's why I keep postponing my posts.
But I'm also really slow with making all those posts because my internet lately is so bad, I am not able to do more than Google, literally.
And Part 1 ( http://donnaoctober.blogspot.mk/2018/02/nassau-bahamas-part-1.html ) is from January.
I prefer the one from January tho, just because the memories from that month are more intense. Anyway, I have to post all of the photos I have, mostly for me, as an online diary. And just in case my hard disk dies.
I woke up feeling sad. I think I had a dream about water, the ocean or something. Color blue, waves, breeze.
I guess nostalgia hits me when I least expect it. And dreams have such a strong impact on my mood, I hate that. I'm playing Hozier on repeat today. Because I was listening to his album on the airplane when I was coming home.
Oh and yes, here's my ootd.

Home Motors Strictly limited: Ferrari unveils 488 Spider-based J50 supercar in Tokyo
Strictly limited: Ferrari unveils 488 Spider-based J50 supercar in Tokyo
During a special celebration in Tokyo, Ferrari pulled the covers off a new limited-run supercar, to commemorate 50 years of the manufacturer in Japan.
The Ferrari J50, unveiled at the National Art Center, is powered by a 3.9-litre V8 that produces 681bhp – 20bhp more than that of the 3.9-litre V8 fitted to the 488 Spider.
With a two-seat, mid-engine targa body style, the J50 harks back to famous Ferrari models of the 1970s and '80s. It was designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre team in Maranello and built by the Italian manufacturer's Special Projects department.
Each of the 10 J50s will be tailored specifically to the individual customer's specification, in the spirit of Ferrari's "Fuori Serie" tradition.
Ferrari has said that the all-new bodywork heralds a radically futuristic design language with a unique personality that appeals to a clientele that desires the pinnacle of innovative styling.
A company says: "The design approach was led by the desire to create a very low-slung roadster, encapsulating intrinsic Ferrari values of nimbleness and agility.
"To achieve this, a strong dynamic was imprinted on the flank of the car by the converging interplay between two main guiding lines: the slanted top edge of the side window, continuous with the windscreen, and the raked black swage line which dramatically rises from the low-set nose until it vanishes in the air intake aft of the doors."
A "helmet visor" effect that starts from the window graphic is a reference to Ferrari's open-top competition barchettas that date as far back as the 1950s.
The black dividing line that runs down the J50's flank, meanwhile, is a modern interpretation of a styling cue seen on famous models such as the GTO, F40 and F50.
Ferrari has improved the J50's aerodynamic capabilities through a number of tweaks. The radiators have been brought closer together, while the front bumper has been completely redesigned. A lower windscreen header rail allows greater airflow over the aero foil, which in turn provides greater airflow over the rear spoiler.
The J50's engine is framed by a polycarbonate cover that is shaped to provide a visual extension of the two roll hoops, while a transverse aero foil bridges the roll hoops as a nod to one of the most distinctive features of Ferrari sports prototypes from the 1960s.
A quad tail light layout lends the rear of the car an aggressive image and also widens the J50's visual appearance under the high downforce wing profile.
The shape of the extractor on the rear diffuser is inspired by jet engine afterburners. This, combined with 20-inch forged wheels, lends the J50 an imposing stance on the road.
The cabin features sports seats that echo the design of the rear bonnet contour, while the carbon-fibre targa roof divides into two pieces that can be stored behind each of the seats.
No price has been announced for the J50, but it is likely that Ferrari will only offer those who already have a number of Ferraris in their personal collection the chance to buy one of the 10 examples of the car.

The Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards, the richest Indigenous arts prize in the country since they began in 2008, today announced the 16 artists who'll fight it out for a share in $65,000 worth of prizes. They include such leaders in their different fields as Christian Bumburra Thompson, Nora Wompi, the 80-year old Wintjiya (No 1) Napaltjarri and Brian Robinson.
The artists were selected by a panel consisting of John Barrett-Lennard, a WA curator and academic researching the impact of Aboriginal art on Australian art generally since 1970, Hetti Perkins, ex AGNSW Curator of Indigenous Art now preparing something called the Corroboree Festival for Sydney in November, and Clotilde Bullen, WA's Indigenous Curator since 2005. What's happened to the WA Gallery's 2010 and 2011 Curator of Indigenous Art, Glen Iseger-Pilkington who ran the last two Awards – now biennial – I wonder? You may recall that the Yolngu, Gunybi Ganambarr from NW Arnhemland took out the big award then, and Jan Billycan from Bidyadanga the specifically WA prize.
The popular Brisbane photographer, Michael Cook was the People's Choice at the end of the 2011 show – worth $5000.
Bullen's job will now be to help each artist select a powerful group of works – this isn't a prize for just one artwork – to make their case for the show, which opens in August.
It's a busy year for both Christian Thompson – currently showing in Oxford, UK, where he's the pioneering Aboriginal scholar – and Yhonnie Scarce, a glass artist selected for one of the Venice Biennale's sideshows. And it's good to see the culturally dynamic APY Lands numbers at two – Ray Ken and Ngipi Ward. Also Queensland's tripartite representation, with Abe Muriata from the Rainforest, Lawrence Omeenyo from Lockhart River on the Cape and Brian Robinson with his complex blend of Torres Strait and Classical Greek mythologies, shows how that State has backed its Indigenous artists into prominence. And Churchill Cann's selection reveals the resilience of the Warmun artists who were flooded out there so recently.

Pakistan requests MRAP vehicles sale from US
The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has notified Congress of a potential foreign military sale (FMS) of mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles and related equipment to Pakistan.
Under the estimated $198m sale, Pakistan has requested 160 Navistar MRAP vehicles, including 110 MaxxPro Dash DXM, 30 MaxxPro Base DXM and ten MaxxPro Dash DXM ambulances, as well as ten MaxxPro recovery vehicles with protection kits.
"The sale is expected to ensure that Pakistan can effectively operate in hazardous areas."
A lighter and more mobile variant of the MaxxPro MRAP family, the MaxxPro Dash is designed to withstand ballistic arms fire, mine blasts and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as well as other emerging threats on the battlefield.
The package includes spare and repair parts, support and test equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel and equipment training, technical and logistics support services, as well as other related elements of logistical and programme support.
Approved by the US State Department, the sale is expected to ensure that Pakistan can effectively operate in hazardous areas in a safe, enhanced survivability vehicle, while improving the country's interoperability with US forces.
Specifically, the sale will enable Pakistan to provide the same level of protection for its own forces as provided by the US to its forces.
The Pakistani military already possesses MRAP vehicles and has successfully demonstrated the ability to operate and maintain the vehicles in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations.
The sale also contributes to the foreign policy and national security of the US by helping to enhance the security of a country vital to US foreign policy and national security goals in South Asia.
Navistar Defense has been named as prime contractor for the FMS programme.

Q: Error : Operation not allowed without an active reactive context I am writing a Shiny App which essentially looks like below in nutshell :
ui <- fluidPage(

  fluidRow(
    column(6,  sliderInput("obs", "Input", min = 0, max = 1000, value = 500)),
    column(6, plotOutput(outputId = "plot2", height = "600px")))

  )

server <- function(input, output) {
  Input = reactive({
      Data = input$obs
      Data1 = ifelse(Data < 500, '1', '0')
      return(list(Data = Data, Data1 = Data1))
  })

  if (Input()$Data1 == '1') {
          output$plot2 = renderPlot(plot(1:5))
  } else {
          output$plot2 = renderPlot(plot(1:50))
  }

}

shinyApp(ui, server)

However when I run this code, I got error which reads like

Error in .getReactiveEnvironment()$currentContext() :
    Operation not allowed without an active reactive context. (You tried to do something that can only be done from inside a reactive expression or observer.)

Looks like something must be wrong with if (Input()$Data1 == '1'), However I could not figure out where it is wrong.

Q: Executable of "Open with" dialog on Windows How can I open the "Open with" dialog in Windows from command line and other programs? Something like openwith.exe myfile or explorer.exe --openwith-dialog myfile

A: The "Open with" dialog can be opened from the command line as follows :
Rundll32 Shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL any-file-name.ext

Note that the file-name is not checked for existence before the execution
of the dialog, so if the file doesn't exist the "not found" error message

Divide the number repeatedly by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero: division = quotient + remainder; 11 011 ÷ 2 = 5 505 + 1; 5 505 ÷ 2 = 2 752 + 1; 2 752 ÷ 2 = 1 376 + 0; 1 376 ÷ 2 = 688 + 0; 688 ÷ 2 = 344 + 0; 344 ÷ 2 = 172 + 0; 172 ÷ 2 = 86 + 0; 86 ÷ 2 = 43 + 0; 43 ÷ 2 = 21 + 1; 21 ÷ 2 = 10 + 1; 10 ÷ 2 = 5 + 0; 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1; 2 ÷ 2 = 1 + 0; 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1; 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above: 11 011(10) = 10 1011 0000 0011(2) 3. Determine the signed binary number bit length: The base 2 number's actual length, in bits: 14. A signed binary's bit length must be equal to a power of 2, as of: 21 = 2; 22 = 4; 23 = 8; 24 = 16; 25 = 32; 26 = 64; ... First bit (the leftmost) indicates the sign, 1 = negative, 0 = positive. The least number that is a power of 2 and is larger than the actual length so that the first bit (leftmost) could be zero is: 16. 4. Positive binary computer representation on 16 bits (2 Bytes) - if needed, add extra 0s in front (to the left) of the base 2 number, up to the required length: 11 011(10) = 0010 1011 0000 0011 Conclusion: Number 11 011, a signed integer, converted from decimal system (base 10) to a signed binary one's complement representation: 11 011(10) = 0010 1011 0000 0011 Spaces used to group numbers digits: for binary, by 4; for decimal, by 3.
The base 2 number's actual length, in bits: 14.
4) Only if the initial number is negative, switch all the bits from 0 to 1 and all the bits from 1 to 0 (reversing the digits).
2. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive representation of the integer number that is to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to ZERO.
4. Binary numbers represented in computer language must have 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ... bit length (a power of 2) - if needed, fill in '0' bits in front (to the left) of the base 2 number calculated above, up to the right length; this way the first bit (leftmost) will always be '0', correctly representing a positive number.
5. To get the negative integer number representation in signed binary one's complement, replace all '0' bits with '1's and all '1' bits with '0's.

WATCH: Patrick Stewart Plays "F**k, Marry, Kill" With TNG Characters
By Brian Wilkins April 29, 2016 // 10:31 pm
Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation for seven seasons and in four feature films, recently sat down with HBO's Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch to play a game of "F**k, Marry, Kill" with TNG characters.
"Who would you want to have sexual intercourse with, who would you want to marry, and then who would you want to kill out of the following three: Will Riker, Deanna Troi and Data?" Middleditch asked Stewart, as part of Variety's Actors on Actors series.
"Lord, this is a complicated question," Stewart responded, having not played the game before.
"The kill would have to be Riker because he's big and scary and very dominating," said Stewart. "For a wife I would choose Deanna, but just as a kind of one-night stand… I would choose Data because, well think about it."
"There was an episode where he had to present his sexual equipment for discussion," said Stewart, referring to the first season episode "The Naked Now".
"Brent Spiner, who is a wonderful actor and a very funny man, used to say, 'he's fully functional, in fact he has three speeds.'"

February 14, 2017 - Federal Circuit, ITC News
Certiorari Denied For $6.2 Million Consent Order Violation Based On a Patent Later Held Invalid
By: Brian Busey and Jack Smith
On November 28, 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a writ of certiorari seeking appeal of the Federal Circuit's decision to uphold the ITC's imposition of a $6.2 million penalty against DBN, Inc. and BDN LLC[1] (collectively, "DBN") for violating a consent order based on an invalid patent. The Federal Circuit upheld the penalty, in part, because the consent order expressly prohibited importation prior to invalidation of the patent.[2] Dell, Google, HTC and others filed an amicus brief in support of appeal. The Supreme Court did not explain why it rejected the petition.
In Certain Two-Way Global Satellite Communication Devices, Inv. No. 337-TA-854, the ITC investigated whether DBN's importation and assembly of components of satellite communication devices infringed claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,991,380 (the "'380 patent") to a satellite emergency monitoring system. Before assessing either infringement or validity, the ITC terminated the investigation via a consent order in which DBN voluntarily agreed not to import or sell "satellite communication devices, system, and components thereof, that infringe [certain] claims . . . of the '380 patent . . . until the expiration, invalidation, and/or unenforceability of the '380 patent." Prior to the filing of the original ITC complaint, DBN moved its assembly operations from Taiwan to the U.S., on the assumption that it would avoid any violation of the consent order. (Petition at 6.) Even though the assembly still used imported components, none of the imported components, by themselves, infringed the '380 patent. (Id.)
Despite DBN's move, the ITC found that DBN violated the consent order by inducing infringement via sales of devices with the imported components and imposed a penalty of $6.2 million. Concurrently, DBN had the '380 patent declared invalid in district court. On appeal, the Federal Circuit upheld both the invalidation and the penalty, finding that the order expressly prohibited importation prior to invalidation. Judge Taranto dissented in part, arguing for remand to consider the effect of the patent's invalidation on the penalty. DBN filed a petition for certiorari on July 13, 2016.
The Petition for Certiorari
DBN's petition made two principal arguments: (1) imposing a penalty for, essentially, domestic infringement exceeds the ITC's statutory authority to regulate international trade and (2) any authority to enforce the order evaporated when the patent was invalidated. (Id. at 10.)
DBN maintained that any infringement became purely domestic when DBN moved its assembly operations from Taiwan to Maine. (Id. at 5-6.) Although its U.S.-based assembly still incorporated imported components, the components, by themselves, did not infringe. (Id. at 11.) Therefore, the imported "articles" fell outside the ITC's mandate to determine whether imported "articles . . . infringe a valid and enforceable United States patent." 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a)(1)(B)(i). (Id.) DBN argued that the Supreme Court should grant certiorari to correct the Federal Circuit's expansive interpretation of "articles that infringe" and "stem the tide of sweeping agency authority and direct the commission to stop investigating domestic patent infringement." (Id. at 11-12.) According to DBN, non-practicing entities ("NPEs") exploit this overreach to "[t]ake advantage of the commission's fast paced and patent friendly proceedings to gain leverage associated with the threat of an exclusion order, while separately suing the same accused infringers in federal court for damages." (Id. at 25.)
DBN argued that the ITC's overreach into domestic infringement contravenes established precedent that a patent "is only infringed by a product . . . contain[ing] all elements in one combination." (Id. at 12.) It focused on a decades old case, Deepsouth Packing Co. v. Laitram Corp., 406 U.S. 518, 528 (1972), admittedly superseded by the statute establishing induced infringement[3] and pertaining to exportation rather than importation. (Id. at 14.) According to DBN, Deepsouth defined "articles protected by the patent" as the "operable assembly of the whole" (id. at 14-15) such that "components of a patented combination are never, by themselves, infringing" (id. at 15).
DBN also argued that the Federal Circuit's decision in Suprema, Inc. v. ITC, 796 F.3d 1338, 1349 (Fed. Cir. 2015) sanctioned the ITC's overreach of its statutory jurisdiction. (Id. at 11, 18.) The court in Suprema applied Chevron deference to affirm the "Commission's interpretation that Section 337 grants it authority to prevent importation of articles that have been part of inducement." 796 F.3d at 1349. According to DBN, Suprema misapplied Chevron because "[t]he [§ 1337(a)(2)] statute is [already] clear . . . [a]n 'article that infringes' cannot be interpreted to cover an 'article that[, by itself,] does not infringe.'" (Id. at 19.) DBN argued that Judge O'Malley's dissent in Suprema recognized that the Commission's reading of the governing statute turns it into an "ever-expanding hydra that can sprout new areas of authority with each new interpretation." (Id. at 11, citing Suprema, 796 F.3d at 1368 (O'Malley, J., dissenting).)
According to DBN, the result in ClearCorrect Operating, LLC v. ITC, 810 F.3d 1283 (Fed. Cir. 2015) further illustrates the Federal Circuit's split on the extent of the ITC's reach. (Id. at 20.) In ClearCorrect, a "sharply divided" Federal Circuit panel rejected, as foreclosed by the statutory limitations on ITC authority, the Commission's determination that digital models sent from Pakistan were, under Section 1337, infringing "article[s]" of a patent directed to methods for forming orthodontic appliances using the models. (Id. at 20.) DBN argued that "[t]he dueling opinions in ClearCorrect, like those in Suprema, evidence deep disagreements among the Federal Circuit's judges over fundamental questions" relating to the ITC's domestic reach. (Id. at 21.)
With respect to DBN's second argument, concerning basing penalties on an invalid patent, it warned against the "specter of a zombie patent" able to live on in enforcement proceedings at the ITC that poses fundamental issues of fairness. (Id. at 27.) In particular, an invalid patent should not be permitted to interfere with free competition. (Id. at 29.) "[DBN] should not have to pay $6 million to have access to ideas that are not, and never should have been, protected by a patent." (Id. at 30.)
DBN also pointed to Judge Taranto's dissent in the instant Federal Circuit decision to argue that the ITC should treat the penalty as contempt sanctions were treated by ePlus, Inc. v. Lawson Software, Inc., 789 F.3d 1349 (Fed. Cir. 2015), cert. denied, 136 S. Ct. 1166 (2016). (Id. at 9, 27.) ePlus set aside contempt sanctions for violating an injunction based on a subsequent determination of patent invalidity. 789 F.3d at 1356-58.
The ITC's Opposition Brief
The ITC argued that the agreement of the parties, not its governing statute, gives force to the consent order (Opposition Brief at 14) according to contract law (id. at 2). Therefore, statutory authority over the imported "articles" and patent validity are both irrelevant. (Id. at 3.)
The ITC terminated its investigation in lieu of determining a Section 1337 violation because DBN voluntarily agreed to the consent order, despite its right to challenge patent validity at the ITC. (Id. at 2-3.) Therefore, enforcement is not limited by the sections of Section 1337 pertaining to patent infringement or "articles that infringe." (Id. at 12.) Instead, parties to a consent order "can agree to relief that is broader than the relief a court would have awarded . . . if the claims had been fully adjudicated." (Id. at 14 (citations omitted).) DBN's argument that the ITC lacked authority to enforce the consent order "runs afoul of (1) petitioners' 'express[] waive[r]' of 'all rights' to 'challenge or contest the validity of the Consent Order'; (2) their stipulation that '[t]he [ITC] has in rem jurisdiction' over the components at issue; and (3) the order's statement that petitioners are precluded from 'challenging or contesting the validity'" of the order. (Id. at 12.)
The ITC also argued that it correctly imposed penalties for violations before the patent claims were invalidated. (Id. at 10.) The order "specifically contemplated that . . . [the] patent might be declared invalid . . . and made it clear that petitioners would be liable for any violations of the consent order they might commit before such invalidation occurred." (Id. (emphasis added).) Unlike the contempt sanction set aside in ePlus, the instant consent order was "final and not appealable." (Id. at 21.) Moreover, according to the ITC, DBN's "use of the channels of international trade to facilitate" infringement transcends any domestic issue. (Id. at 18.) The ITC had authority to impose penalties because DBN induced infringement by incorporating the imported components into devices "sold with instructions . . . to use the integrated product in a way that constitutes direct infringement." (Id. at 10, 15.)
For the most part, the legal arguments in the amicus brief submitted by Dell, Google, HTC and others (hereinafter, the "Amici") mirrored those in DBN's petition. According to the Amici, encroaching ITC authority in the wake of Suprema over "alleged infringement occur[ing] entirely within the U.S. where district court remedies are fully available" chills domestic industry "[s]ince almost all U.S.‑made products include imported components." (Amicus Brief at 7.) This creates an environment ripe for exploitation by NPEs because "the ITC moves so fast and does not grant stays . . . [and] may complete its proceedings and impose a remedy before the district courts or the patent office can resolve parallel challenges to the asserted patents." (Id. at 8-9.) NPEs tend to use the near immediate injunctive relief offered by the ITC as "leverage" for lucrative settlements. (Id. at 3-4.)

Nation Wide College Talks - Joe
Click here to read the audio text.
"Isn't our generation ready to truly make our world better? The first step? Vote for Joe!" -Leah Beth Bryson, columnist for The Vision Student Newspaper, Lambuth University, Jackson, TN
"The Schriners [Joe and Liz] were engaging and provocative and did much to stimulate this group of college students to think deeply about issues of environmental, racial and gender justice in America."
-- Perry Bush, Ph.D., Professor of History, Bluffton College, Ohio
More feedback on Joe's school (college and high school) talks…
"I experience Joe Schriner as a fervent pro-Life candidate who is willing to make great sacrifices for the moral betterment of our nation and the transformation of society. He was an inspiration to our students." --Fr. Michael Scanlan, former president of Franciscan University, Steubenville, Ohio.
"The students were most impressed by the fact that Mr. Schriner seemed to be living out his very challenging campaign rhetoric. All of them seemed to agree that Mr. Schriner's voice is one that needs to be heard in our country and world." --John Cooper, Theology Instructor, Xavier University.
"Mr. Schriner came in to speak to our students and it was the capstone to a pretty amazing project. The students really appreciated his willingness to put himself out there and talk about issues you would not hear from other candidates because they would be deemed unpopular. The students were inspired for what he thought was possible for the country." --Todd Stanley, teacher, The Christopher Program (Alternative High School), Columbus, Ohio.
"Dear Mr. Schriner,
I and the senior class at Miller City High School would like to thank you and your family for taking the time to discuss and explain your campaign with us. Your talk was informative and realistic. You taught the students something a text book or I could not do. You taught them about the realities of Third Party politics and how important your campaign is. I believe that you have also sparked an interest in them volunteering and taking care of the earth. You are leading a remarkable life, and we want to thank you for spending some time with us." --Miller City High School (Ohio) Government teacher Allyson Frick
"Joe Schriner spoke with us for over an hour on the relationship between private, personal morality and public policy. He raised questions about how our morality is shaped, with serious reservations concerning the portrayal of the American code of conduct on television... Mr. Schriner also shared his vision of paired villages, one in the U.S. and one in the developing world. These communities would build relationship and trust. He challenged us to imagine the possibility of this on a large scale. Might it eradicate terrorism by removing it's causes -- vast disparities in resources/wealth and in whether basic needs get met? Would the American people be willing to sacrifice to achieve that? These discussions were challenging and thought provoking for my students -- and for me... He is inciting us to a fundamental democratic concept and practice. May the vision catch wind and fly." --Bluffton University Education Masters instructor Mitch Kingsley (class: Teaching and the Moral Imagination)
"Joe Schriner recently spoke to my sociology students and I was very impressed with how he held their interest and got them to debate with him... Having ventured far and wide across the U.S., in his roles as a journalist, social activist, and political office seeker, Joe has acquired a virtual treasure trove of real-life lessons and adventures that can't help but make him a fascinating speaker." --Southern State (Ohio) Community College instructor Steve Newman
"I highly recommend that you invite Joe Schriner to visit your classes. Joe is running for the U.S. presidency and he is bringing a refreshing and honest perspective to this important race. The fact that his views are contrary to the mainstream of American thought make his interaction with your students all the more valuable... Not all will agree with Joe Schriner. He may not even win the election in 2004, but his message is a refreshing change from the vague rhetoric and glossy corporate image displayed by our premier party candidates. His lone voice is a wonderful addition to the college classroom." --David Gerard Hogan, Associate Professor of History, Heidelberg College.
As we've traveled, we've been in a number of college newspapers. The following article appeared in my Alma maters' independent student newspaper during campaign 2003. A note: In the box it notes we would do away with the income tax and the IRS. We wouldn't. We would, indeed, simplify the tax code tremendously. [See our position on this.] Note 2: Yes, my kids had a good laugh with my former hair. Much of which has fallen out -- since two of them have become teenagers!
