Q: Not getting desired output in string concatination **This is my code and i am not getting expected result as the output is able to print first string and concatenating but not the second string
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
    char str1[30],str2[30];
    printf("Enter Srting 1:");
    gets(str1);
    printf("Enter string 2: ");
    gets(str2);
    concat(&str1,&str2);
    printf("New string is: %s",str1);
    return 0;
}
void concat(char* str1,char* str2)
{
    int i,j;
    i=j=0;
    while(str1[i]!='\0')
    i++;
    while((str1[i++]=str2[j++]!='\0'))
    ;
}

A: Replace
while((str1[i++]=str2[j++]!='\0'))

by
while( (str1[i++] =str2[j++]) != '\0)

and
concat(&str1,&str2);

by
concat(str1, str2);

A: First of all function gets is unsafe and is not supported by the C Standard any more. So it is better to use either scanf specifying the width of the inputed data of fgets funcions
Nevertheless the function can look the following way
char * concat( char* str1, const char* str2 )
{
    int i,j;
    i=j=0;
    while( str1[i]!='\0' ) i++;
    while( ( str1[i++] = str2[j++] ) !='\0' );

    return str1;
}

Or you could just write
    while( ( str1[i++] = str2[j++] )  );

Without parentheses expressiin
( str1[i++] = str2[j++] !='\0' )

is equivalent to
( str1[i++] = ( str2[j++] !='\0' ) )

And the function should be called like
concat( s1, s2 );

A: Your function concat code is incorrect:
while((str1[i++]=str2[j++]!='\0'))

should be
while ((str1[i++] = str2[j++]) !='\0')

You should always use spaces around binary operators to improve readability!
Furthermore, concat should be declared or defined before use and it should be invoked as concat(str1, str2); as str1 and str2 are arrays.
It is unwise to use gets() because it can cause buffer overflows, especially when receiving input from an external source.

NEW YORK — You may remember a few weeks ago, I wrote about a set of PSAs released by FEMA that used the Emergency Alert System two tone attention signal. I also stated that warnings on your cell phone were something I didn't ask for and there is no way to get rid of this app.
Well, I just found an app that is a helluva lot more useful than what FEMA has mandated on your cell phone in regards to weather warnings. And, it has great potential to be a tool for your broadcast operation, whether you're on the street reporters, newsroom, or just the announcers and jocks are equipped with it.
The app is available for iPhones and Android devices, and is called Alert FM.
As downloaded, the app is free. On initial setup, you enter in your zip code, then select which weather warnings you wish to receive for that location. The coding we receive through EAS is called a FIPS code. EAS messages, weather warnings included, come down to the county level. I live in Orange County, NY. If something is moving into Orange County, even if it's at the far corner of the county and will not reach my location, I would receive an alert. Personally, I find it annoying to receive a Severe Thunder Storm Warning when it's sunny out. But with FIPS codes, you can only get down to the county level.
Alert FM utilizes the deeper data found in most National Weather Service alerts that cannot be transmitted through EAS. It goes down to the zip code level, so if an event will affect your general area, you will receive the alert.
Of course, this is the free version.
It you pay $9.95 for the premium version, you can set the app to track where you are through the internal GPS on your SmartPhone. So if you're in Western Walla-Walla, even though you may have set your home zip code as one of your locations (you get up to five locations and "locate me" with the pay version), you will receive an alert for where you are at present.
Other useful features of the app are weather forecasts and weather radar. All at the push of a button on your SmartPhone. If you are covering a storm or really heavy rain, for instance, this would be an excellent tool for your street people to have available.
I believe Alert FM may also be working on adding EAS data to the app. If this happens, this makes this an essential tool for broadcast professionals. It's our job to inform the public about hazardous situations. This is one more tool to have at your disposal.

Kings Of Leon unveil new song 'Beautiful War' – listen
The track comes from their forthcoming sixth album 'Mechanical Bull'
Leonie Cooper
Kings Of Leon have unveiled a brand new song called 'Beautiful War'.
The band played a live version of the track yesterday (September 10) on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1. Scroll down to listen to the song, which frontman Caleb Followill has revealed that he wrote in the same weekend as 'Use Somebody' from the band's fourth studio album, 2008's 'Only by the Night'. Speaking to Lowe, Followill said of the song: "I think if people don't appreciate 'Beautiful War', then they can't appreciate anything!"
During the same session, Kings Of Leon covered Robyn's 2010 single 'Dancing On My Own'. The band play the iTunes Festival at London's Roundhouse tonight (September 11) with support from Jimmy Eat World.
Kings Of Leon will release their sixth album, 'Mechanical Bull', on September 24. The studio version of 'Beautiful War' will feature on the LP. Bassist Jared Followill told NME in March of this year: "I thought we were going to make a really mature album but I'm amazed how youthful it sounds." Subsequently, Jared has revealed that the album is "more musically complicated" than the band's previous efforts. In a Q&A with fans on Twitter, he also said the "vibe" of the record could be compared to their first two albums – 2003's 'Youth & Young Manhood' and 2004's 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' – but that the songs sounded like a "culmination" of all their previous work.
Since then, drummer Nathan Followill has said that the LP is influenced by Queens Of The Stone Age. Followill said that one track on the group's new LP is reminiscent of Josh Homme's work, while other influences included Sly And The Family Stone and country music.

Physical therapy is a highly rewarding career, both personally and professionally, but in order to acquire your license and begin practicing, you need to acquire your Graduate Degree. Both a Master's Degree and a DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) will count toward your Graduate level requirement, but the DPT is quickly becoming the preferred degree type for a prospective physical therapist to hold.
In that spirit, we present to you our selections for top physical therapy schools offering DPT degrees.
As one of the top physical therapy schools, the University of Southern California offers enough diversity in its program structure to students pursuing all specializations.

Madonna's stalker arrested in North Long Beach
PUBLISHED: February 10, 2012 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 4:50 a.m.
LONG BEACH — An escaped mental patient convicted of stalking Madonna was arrested in North Long Beach early Friday.
Robert Dewey Hoskins, whose escape from Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk last week made national headlines, was tracked to the North Long Beach area by Long Beach Police working off a tip from hospital staff, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
"All patrol units were briefed in detail (on Hoskins) and were actively searching for him while patrolling the city," following his Feb. 3 escape, Pratt said.
Friday morning, North Division patrol officers working in near South Street and Cherry Avenue spotted a man who matched Hoskins description walking down the street. When the officers stopped the man and talked to him, he confirmed his identity, Pratt said.
The LBPD's Mental Health Evaluation Unit was called to the area and Hoskins was taken into custody without incident, Pratt said.
He has since been returned to the Norwalk hospital, she said.
Hoskins, who once scaled a wall around Madonna's Hollywood Hills estate and threatened to cut the singer's throat, was convicted in 1996 of stalking her and making terrorist threats.
He also made threats against actress Halle Berry, court records show.
Madonna testified in the 1996 trial, and said she suffered nightmares after seeing the homeless drifter from Oregon near her home in April 1995. She said her bodyguard told Hoskins claimed "he was there to take me away … that I was supposed to be his wife, that if he couldn't have me, he was going to slice my throat from ear to ear."
Hoskins returned to the pop star's home a month later — when Madonna was in Florida — and scaled the perimeter wall, jumped into her pool and was eventually shot twice by a security guard.
He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his stalking conviction in that case and, after his release, was transferred to Atascadero State Hospital where he was found to be a "mentally disturbed offender."
According to a Los Angeles Police Department press release, Hoskins is supposed to take anti-psychotic medicaiton and has "very violent tendencies."
Hoskins was released from Atascadero about a year after he was sent there, but continued to have trouble and numerous contacts with LAPD officers last July.
Following his arrest last summer he ordered held at the Norwalk mental facility on a civil commitment, according to the LAPD, which did not disclose the reason for Hoskin's arrest.
Long Beach Police, among several local law enforcement agenices, were notified Hoskins may be in the area based on comments he had made to hospital staff prior to his escape, Pratt said.
Metropolitan Hospital representatives released a brief statement Friday amid a flurry of questions from local media.
In the statement, Acting Public Information Officer Alonzo Townsell confirmed a patient left the grounds of the hospital without authorization on Feb. 3 and said local, county and state law enforcement officials were immediately notified by hospital security.
"MSH cannot release any specific information about patients due to the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act. Safety and security remain a top priority at Metropolitan State Hospital,' the statement reads.
Due to the restrictions the hospital cannot release the patient's name, and no explanation was given as to how Hoskins was able to walk away from the facility.

The population of the range-restricted Golden-cheeked Warbler has been increasing in recent years, but the potential loss of its Endangered Species status could incite conflicts with developers. At 10,000 Birds, Jason Crotty has more.
In 2014, FWS completed a five-year status review, concluding that continuing urbanization and associated habitat destruction and fragmentation still threatened the warbler. The review included substantial new information, including, for example, required size of habitat patches. Although it breeds in areas as small as 25 acres, Golden-cheeked Warblers are much more successful in larger un-fragmented patches. Ultimately, FWS maintained the "endangered" classification, in large part because of continued habitat loss.
At Shorebird Science, Alan Kneidel shares the story of an expedition to track Semipalmated Sandpipers on their wintering grounds.
During November and December of 2018, a team of shorebird scientists led by New Jersey Audubon and Tulane University went on a month-long expedition to Brazil. The trip, a part of a multi-year regional effort, centered around the deployment of nano-tags on Semipalmated Sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) to help generate overwinter survival estimates for the species. These estimates will be used along with survival estimates from studies during migration and breeding periods to develop life cycle migratory network models to investigate what period during the annual cycle might be driving population declines. The target locations for this trip were two sites on either side of the mouth of the Amazon River, in the states of Amapá and Pará.
Painted Buntings are unquestionably one of our most spectacular birds, but there is a lot we don't know about where they go in the winter. At Audubon, Lisa Foderaro has more.
But ornithologists have a weaker grasp on their journeys come fall. They know that buntings head to south Florida, as well as the Bahamas and Cuba, but with the exception of Florida, there are no good annual surveys like the Christmas Bird Count. What records do exist are often conflicting. One study from a decade ago that combed historical data found that in the Bahamas, for instance, they were described variously as "common," "an uncommon winter visitor" and "readily found in winter." The same was true in Cuba.
Bird eyes are huge compared to their body size, and the sensory system is more highly developed than any other vertebrate. Eldon Greij at Birdwatching explains why that is and how they function.
First, bird eyes are huge in relation to the size of their heads. They are proportionately much larger than human eyes. The eyes of eagles and owls are about the size of human eyes or larger, and the eyes of the Common Ostrich are about twice as large as those of humans. In many bird species, including songbirds, the eyes are about as large as their brains.
Corvids are fascinating, with complex vocalizations and social structures. Kaeli Swift of Corvid Research breaks down some of the recent research on crow vocalizations.

Located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, Humanyun's tomb is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. He passed away in 1556 and his wife Hamida Banu Begam supervised the construction of his tomb from the year 1562. This spectacular piece of architecture took almost 9 years to complete. Humayun was the second Mughal Emperor to rule India, after his father, Babur being the first.
The architect of the project, Mirak Mirza Ghiyuath, was Persian and hence the architecture of the tomb has a Persian influence. It is not only the first garden-tomb of its kind in India but is also the first classic example of Mughal architecture.
The tomb was constructed at a cost of 1.5 million rupees (15 lakh). The tomb is situated at the banks of Yamuna River. It was chosen because of its proximity to Nizamuddin Dargah which is the mausoleum of the famous Sufi saint of Delhi. Humayun's tomb is also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale.
Along with the tomb of Humayum the compound also has the tomb of his wife, Hamida Begum and also of Dara Shikoh, son of the late emperor Shah Jahan. It is also the burial ground for many other Mughals. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. It also boasts the Charbagh gardens, a typical Persian garden which was never seen before in India.
The mausoleum is a 140 feet high structure with a central dome. The tomb itself stands on a platform and in the centre of a square garden which is divided into four main parterres by ramps, in the center of which ran shallow water-channels. They were filled with water to keep the gardens green and natural at all time. The main gateway of Humayun's tomb consists of a large square enclosure and Humayun's tomb can be seen at the center.
Built over acres of lush green land and surrounded by fountains this complex is home to a well manicured garden, a beautiful mosque and several other tombs. It represents Mughal architecture at its best.
Great site I was there ling time ago .my best greetings to India and its people .
Many visitors to Delhi see Safdarjung Tomb, which is in the very heart of New Delhi, but miss out this beauty, which is located just outside. A must!
I had the opportunity to visit this magnificent tomb many times while I was working in New Delhi.
Classical and an excellent piece of Mughal architecture!!!!
That was the golden era of Mughal architecture that produced master pieces like the Jama Masjid, the Lal Quila and the wonderful Taj Mahal. We are proud of our rich heritage.
Nice article. Nice place to visit.

This masterful historical building is not only a Mogul articulation of a gone by history, it is part of man's strive to build one stone of glory to all HUMANITY located in the heart of India the fascinated rich triangle – store of all creeds and philosophies of the world (not to forget its fabulous riches and resources).
Visited this beautiful place many many years back. I would like to visit again. . . !!!!
On 27 January 1556, Humayun, with his arms full of books, was descending the staircase from his library when the muezzin announced the Adhan (the call to prayer). It was his habit, wherever he heard the summons, to bow his knee in holy reverence. Kneeling, he caught his foot in his robe, tumbled down several steps and hit his temple on a rugged stone edge. He died three days later, and was succeeded by the 13-year old Akbar.
Very nice worth-visiting historical place.Its architecture is amazing & the surrounding buildings & gardens are also very beautiful.
Great! I did visit Delhi twice, but some how missed this marvelous structure of Architecture!
Beautiful and excellent mater piece of Mugal architecture.One can admire and enjoy the vast garden around this marvelous historical building.
It is right as Mr. Jaffer said, Humanyun fell down while he was coming down from his liabrary. The site of his liabrary still exists in Old Fort (Purana Qila) near his tomb.
Would that if the people in Pakistan loving heritage of Moslems' era in India have the facility of tourist visa to visit such historical places there…There are great historical monuments to visit and see!!!
Its really nice. awesome beauty of pride to a country. that have India. I am from Bangladesh but liked such places to go fo routing. Thanks Priya.
This is a beautiful tomb of Mughal era. It shows that in Mughal era construction technology was also highly technical.
It is funny that all the architecture of India that is claimed to be Moghul ie Taj, Red Fort, this tomb and others were actually Rajasthani style architecture proven in Amer, Jaisalmer, Mehranggh Forts which were built just as the Qu'ran was written.
even the city of Udaipur in Rajasthan shows so much architecture that is originally Rajasthani blueprint, and yet none of these architecture types exist in Arab world, or to the exact note they do in India. It is proven factually 100 reasons Taj is Hindu temple, as was Red Fort. This was Hindu workmanship and Hindu architecture.
good place ,the one's who have not visited ,visit it.
I have been to this place many times. One will feel very satisfied if one sits in a corner at any place in this tomb for some time. It feels good to visit such places. i've enjoyed visiting here.


The small screen rapidly builds up tar requiring it to be unscrewed from the mouthpiece. The screen assembly is pressed into the plastic without sufficient tension to withstand the force needed to unscrew it. This causes the entire assembly to come out. Once out it never fits well again, falling out after each use. Then it is super hot to touch. Eventually the repeated reinsertions resulted in the orifice cracking, rendering it useless. The good news is the manufacturer replaced the mouthpiece for free. Nevertheless, I suspect it will happen again. It is a design flaw.
K Pen is OK in my book!
K Pen is OK in my book! I was a little concerned due to some other reviews but have found the unit heats up quickly, easy to operate and the oven size is just right. Produces nice clouds and has minimal maintenance tasks to boot! You can charge from a power brick or usb of course.
Had a little trouble with a defective mouthpiece, the collar that holds the metal screen cracked, Kandypens was on it and provided a replacement promptly, the new mouthpiece looks sturdier, so we will see.
Screen kept falling out of mouthpiece into heating chamber, and after a few more days some of the plastic broke off of the mouthpiece, rendering unit completely useless. This would be a very good vaporizer if they correct the mouthpiece problem. I read other reviews before purchasing, and many stated having same problem as I had but I thought they would correct problem by the time of my purchase. I was wrong . As I said before, this would be a very good product, and my review would be favorable if they would fix the mouthpiece problem.
After two month of using my K-Vape, I have lost all respect and will never purchase another product from Kandypens ever again and will reinvest into buying another vaporizer from a company who does not change its "lifetime warranty" policy or offer faulty tips. One month and a half after purchasing two pens, both tips cracked and we were told the tips were covered under warranty. After requesting replacements, we were told the tips were not covered under warranty - that's not good business. I do suspect in time through word of mouth or through other media outlets, many customers will express their dissatisfaction as well. It's wrong to sell a product that carries "on-going" additional cost of $60 - 80 on replacement mouthpieces that are sensitive to heat. It should come with either several mouthpieces or a reinforced piece not sensitive to heat.
Although I expressed my concerns, customer service for this company simply do not care and after researching how customer service has responded to past complaints; obviously, this company does not care what its customers think. Blogs and other online complaints tell me and other consumers that Kandypens only cares about how much money it can make in a short time. All in all, I want to warn other consumers that this product is not designed to save customers money; instead, it's clearly designed to cost customers two things; (1) time & frustration emailing customer service and (2) money buying $20 faulty replacement mouthpieces sensitive to heat.
This unit works great at true vaping, only problem is the filter unit inside the mouthpiece gets to HOT and MELTS the inside of the mouthpiece causing the filter to fall out of the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece also cracked causing it to fall apart. The only way I can now use this product was to glue the mouthpiece together, an place the filer unit inside at the top of the herb chamber. It is NOT covered by the Warranty, costs 20 dollars to replace.
Both of my mouthpieces broke in many parts just from being put on too many times. Therefore the coils will not stay in, and every time I try to use it. Let me know what we can do about it.
Can the K-Vape be used while the charger is plugged in?
Does the K-Vape use conduction or convection to vaporize the herbs? What is the best way to clean and keep it running the longest?
Do you need a screen down in the chamber itself?
Can the pen be turned off without waiting for the automatic shut off at 10 minutes?
Q: Both of my mouthpieces broke in many parts just from being put on too many times. Therefore the coils will not stay in, and every time I try to use it. Let me know what we can do about it.
Q: Is this the 2.0 version?
A: Yes, this is the latest version of the K-Vape, version 2.0.
Q: Can the K-Vape be used while the charger is plugged in?
A: Yes, you can heat the unit up and vaporize while charging.
Q: Does the K-Vape use conduction or convection to vaporize the herbs? What is the best way to clean and keep it running the longest?
A: The herb sits on a conduction heat source and as you draw on it, the heat passes through the material creating the vapor. Brush the heating chamber out after each use to ensure it remains clean when not in use.
Q: Do you need a screen down in the chamber itself?
A: A screen is not required in the herb chamber.
Q: Can the pen be turned off without waiting for the automatic shut off at 10 minutes?
A: Yes, simply hold the button down for 5+ seconds and the unit will shut off.

On Hicks' Average Period of Production
Figure 1: APP Around Switch Points
I take it that the Austrian theory of the business cycle builds on Austrian capital theory. The following two claims are central to Austrian capital theory:
Given technology, profit maximizing firms adopt a more capital-intensive, more roundabout technique at a lower interest rate.
The adoption of a more roundabout technique increases output per worker.
Originally, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk proposed a physical measure of the average period of production, but economists of the Austrian school have been distancing themselves from this position for well over half a century. I have argued that the first claim fails, even in a framework without any scalar measure of capital-intensity or the average period of production.
Recently, Nicholas Cachanosky and Peter Lewin, in a series of articles, have championed J. R. Hicks' measure of the Average Period of Production (APP), as a justification of the first claim. They note that the APP, as defined here, is a function of the interest rate. Hence, it cannot fully support Böhm-Bawerk's theory. Saverio Fratini has argued this justification does not work, since the second claim above fails, when this APP is used as a measure of capital-intensity. Lewin and Cachanosky, in reply, argue that Fratini does not properly calculate the APP, since it should be forward looking and apply in disequilibria.
This post re-iterates Fratini's argument, with his example. I more closely follow Cachanosky and Lewin's approach, though.
Fratini considers a technology consisting of two techniques of production, Alpha and Beta (Table 1). Each technique requires three years of unassisted labor inputs, per bushel wheat produced at the end of the third year. Labor is advanced and paid at the end of the year. Labor is taken as numeraire. That is, the wage is assumed to be $1 per person-year. The price of a bushel wheat, p, is taken to be $12 dollars per bushel. As I hope becomes apparent, these assumptions generally characterize a disequilibrium.
Table 1: Inputs for Producing A Bushel Wheat
Year Years
Harvest Technique
1 3 a3 = 1 Person-Yr. b3 = 2 Person-Yrs.
2 2 a2 = 7 Person-Yrs. b2 = 2 Person-Yrs.
The output per worker, in a stationary state, is determined by the chosen technique. Suppose the Alpha technique is adopted. In any given year, 10 person-years are employed per bushel wheat produced. Two person-years are being expended to produce each bushel of wheat harvested at the end of the year, seven person-years are being employed to produce each bushel of wheat available at the end of the next year, and one person-year is employed per bushel wheat harvested even a year later. That is, output per worker, under the alpha technique, yα, is (1/10) bushels per person-year. Similarly, output per worker for the beta technique, yβ, is (1/12) bushels per person-year.
3.0 Net Present Value and the Choice of Technique
Suppose a wheat-producing firm faces a given annual interest rate, r. For convenience, define:
R = 1 + r
The discount factor, f, is defined to be:
f = 1/R = 1/(1 + r)
Consider a decision to choose a technique to adopt for next three years in producing wheat. Powers of the discount factor are used to evaluate the costs and revenues for each technique at the start of the given year. For example, the NPV of the alpha technique is:
NPV(α, f) = -a3 f - a2 f2 + (p - a1) f3
I have assumed that firms expect the given interest rate to remain unchanged for the decision period - a common convention. Revenues are positive, and costs (or outgoes) are negative.
Figure 2 graphs the difference between the NPV for the two techniques. A positive difference indicates that the alpha technique maximizes the NPV, while a negative difference arises when the beta technique is preferred. Which technique is chosen by cost-minimizing firm for each interest rate is shown. At switch points, firms are indifferent between the two techniques.
Figure 2: Difference in NPVs
Under the assumptions, NPV is always positive. (If the beta technique were adopted at an interest rate of zero, its NPV would be zero then.) If markets were competitive, the price of wheat would vary until the NPV was zero, given the interest rate. Fratini does indeed assume equilibrium and analyzes the choice of technique with backwards-looking calculations of costs, as Lewin and Cachanosky claim. But this makes no difference to his argument, so far.
4.0 The Average Period of Production
One might be interested in how NPV varies with the discount factor. The elasticity of the NPV, with respect to the discount factor, is a dimension-less number for assessing such sensitivity. Somewhat arbitrarily, I discount elasticity one period:
APP(α, f) = f [1/NPV(α, f)] [d NPV(α, f)/df]
Elasticity is the variation of NPV with variation of the discount factor, as a proportion of NPV.
APP(α, f) = [-a3 f/NPV(α, f)] x 1
+ [- a2 f2/NPV(α, f)] x 2
+ [(p - a1) f3/NPV(α, f)] x 3
The APP for a technique, at a given discount factor, is the weighted average of the time indices, looking forward, for a given income stream. The weights are the proportion of the income stream received in each period. All income is discounted to the start of the first year.
So the elasticity of the NPV of an income stream, with respect to the discount factor can also be expressed as the average period of production.
Notice that the APP is not defined in equilibrium. The denominators in the above terms are zero, and the APP could be said to be infinite. If only costs are used in the above calculations (thus, no longer of a NPV), the APP is well-defined, at least in the flow-input, point output case. Fratini (2019) does this.
One could also express the APP as a function of the interest rate:
APP(α, r) = [-a3 R2/NPV(α, r)] x 1
+ [- a2 R/NPV(α, r)] x 2
+ [(p - a1)/NPV(α, r)] x 3
NPV(α, r) = -a3 R2 - a2 R + (p - a1)
I skip over some some algebraic manipulations above.
The above is not the definition of the APP in Fratini (2019), for example, in Equation 7. Where I have time indices of 1, 2, and 3, Fratini has indices of 3, 2, 1. I guess one can say that his definition of the APP is backwards-looking.
Fratini's argument still goes forward with Cachanosky and Lewin's (or Hicks') definition. One could present a mathematical proof that the APP is always increased around a switch point with a fall in the interest rate. But here I'll just graph it for the example. See Figure 1, at the top of this post. Around each switch point a lower interest rate is indeed associated with the adoption of a technique with a larger APP. But consider the switch point at an interest rate of 200 percent. The beta technique, adopted at a notionally lower interest rate, has a lower value of output per head.
The example illustrates that, around a switch point, a lower interest rate is associated with the adoption of a more roundabout technique, where roundaboutness is measured by Hicks' Average Period of Production. Incidentally, the example demonstrates that in a region where one technique is cost-minimizing the APP may decrease with the interest rate. But the adoption of a more roundabout technique can be associated with a decrease in output per worker. So much for Austrian capital theory and the Austrian theory of the business cycle.

National County Government Month – Each April, counties across the country conduct events that celebrate and explore what counties do for their citizens. Working with NACIO, the National Association of Counties recognizes the best celebrations each each year.
County Government Works is an initiative to make the American public, who are beneficiaries of government services, and officials at other levels of government, who are partners in delivering those services, more knowledgeable and positive about the contributions of county government. This initiative has put in place the tools for county officials and PIOs to use explain county government, including the Counties Work Online Game. NACo, together with iCivics, created "Counties Work" to educate students, grades 6 through 12, about the important role and functions of county government by letting them run their own county. A curriculum and web quest has also been developed to assist teachers with preparing lessons on county government.

Q: Subshell in python subprocess Within a python script I need to launch a command such as
kill $(ps aux | grep httpd | awk '{print $2}')

Using subprocess
I have tried to split the command using a function from https://stackoverflow.com/a/29755431/1355628)
The function is fine with simple commands with pipe but unfortunately with the one above it does not seem to work (the return code seems to be completely random...)
Thanks is advance

A: subprocess.run takes an optional shell=True argument, which will run your command in a subshell.
Please do read the Security Considerations however, if you're handling user input.
Another (better, imo) solution, would be to use the psutil package and os.kill, like this:
import psutil
processes = [p for p in psutil.pids() if 'httpd' in psutil.Process(p).name()]
for process in processes:

Krispy Krunchy Chicken, also known as KKC, is an international fried chicken food chain founded in 1989 in Lafayette, Louisiana, by Neal Onebane. It has over 2,600 locations across 47 states in the U.S., American Samoa, Malaysia and Mexico and is often associated with convenience stores and gas stations.

History
Krispy Krunchy Chicken was founded in 1989 by convenience store businessman Neal Onebane, who wanted to offer convenience store food that would appeal to customers. That year, he began frying the signature chicken in the back of one of his convenience stores in Lafayette, Louisiana, and personally delivering it to customers.

With convenience store businessman Dan Shapiro as Krispy Krunchy Chicken's executive vice president, Krispy Krunchy Chicken products increased from being carried in 200 convenience stores to being carried in over 2,200 in 2006. Annual sales were $12.6 million that year.

In 2014, annual sales were $155 million.

In 2017, there were 509 new Krispy Krunchy Chicken stores and a total of 2,294 stores across the United States and in Malaysia and American Samoa.

In June 2018, Krispy Krunchy Chicken opened its first Mexican location at the GoMart Montecarlo mall in Mérida.

Business model
KKC mostly partners with owners of convenience and grocery stores to sell its products.

Operators of Krispy Krunchy Chicken locations do not pay franchise or royalty fees. Instead, operators pay Krispy Krunchy Chicken to distribute inventory (equipment and graphics) to their stores.

Products
Krispy Krunchy Chicken offers Cajun-style Krispy Chicken, chicken meals, family meals, Cajun Tenders and wings. The family meals include two sides: six honey butter biscuits and an order of family fries. Other sides and snacks include corn dogs, Crispitos, red beans and rice, mac-n-cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, jambalaya, boudin bites, chicken cracklins and boneless wings.

The company's fried chicken sandwich includes hand-breaded fried chicken, dill pickles and a honey butter spread. In 2020, select locations began offering the sandwich on a sweet butter bun.

The signature chicken marinade is included in the breading of the chicken and also injected directly into the chicken.

The seafood menu includes honey butter fried shrimp and fried fish.

COVID-19 response
In early 2019, Krispy Krunchy Chicken began a partnership with Uber Eats, Grubhub and DoorDash to start its delivery service. During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company developed offers and discounts for customers using the food delivery apps.

In 2020, Krispy Krunchy Chicken partnered with Jaxson Hayes to provide 500 meals to environmental services crew at Ochsner Health facilities.

After a devastating night for Labour nationally, the political picture in London is very different, as we have seen.
Not least is the encouraging result for Kensington, which saw an increased turnout and an impressive 6% swing to Labour.
Many people imagine that Kensington is all footballers, plutocrats and aristocrats, but Labour Councillors work in some of the poorest wards in London and know the real Kensington is very mixed.
Having selected our 'dream candidate' Dr Rod Abouharb in October 2013, Kensington Labour's Action Teams set to work immediately, and including local elections 2014 knocked on 30,000 doors and had 6,000 conversations. Our local manifesto, called 'One Kensington', reflecting the main concerns of the electorate, was launched in November 2014. Dr Rod – as he became known – became a recognisable face on the streets, attended surgeries and public meetings, wrote a column in the local paper, and appeared regularly in the press.
'The real Kensington is a microcosm of all that is wrong with the country after five years of Tory rule. Inequalities are frankly shocking, and Tory complacency in the face of food banks, evictions and families and communities torn apart is despicable.

La Iglesia de Jesucristo sobre la Tierra por su enviado especial Simon Kimbangu, más conocida como la Iglesia kimbanguista (con su culto llamado kimbanguismo) es una Iglesia independiente africana de tipo profético.

Historia

El culto kimbanguista fue fundado el 6 de abril de 1921 por Simon Kimbangu en el Congo Belga (actual República Democrática del Congo). El 24 de diciembre de 1959, Joseph Diangienda Kuntima, hijo de Simon Kimbangu, creó oficialmente la "Iglesia de Jesús Cristo sobre la Tierra por el profeta Simon Kimbangu", que desde 1987 cambió su nombre por el actual y que dirigió hasta su muerte en 1992.

Desde 2001, el líder espiritual y representante legal de la Iglesia kimbanguista es Simon Kimbangu Kiangani, hijo de Salomon Dialungana Kiangani.

La Iglesia kimbanguista afirma tener 17 millones de miembros repartidos en el África subsahariana, especialmente en la República Democrática del Congo, donde representa al 10 % de los creyentes, en Europa y en los EE. UU. Promueve activamente el uso del silabario Mandombe.

Doctrina

La Iglesia kimbanguista tiene como referencia la Biblia y se reclama del Credo de Nicea. Identifica a Simon Kimbangu con el Espíritu Santo y Jesucristo, como el redentor de la humanidad.

Predica el amor al prójimo, la obediencia a las leyes divinas y la práctica de buenas obras, preceptos sintetizados por la divisa Bolingo - Mibeko - Misala. Proscribe las bebidas alcohólicas, el baile, las drogas, el tabaco, la poligamia, el adulterio, la fornicación y el consumo de carne de cerdo. La ciudad santa del kimbanguismo es Nkamba, en la provincia del Bajo Congo.

Relaciones con otras Iglesias
La Iglesia kimbanguista formó parte del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI) desde 1969 y de la Conférence des Eglises pour toute l'Afrique (Conferencia de las Iglesias para toda la África) desde 1974. Desde 2001, el kimbanguismo ya no forma parte del ecumenismo tras la autoproclamación del hijo de Simon Kimbangu, Salomon Dialungana Kiangani, como la "reencarnación del Señor Jesucristo".

Review: The Midwife's Revolt

The Midwife's Revolt
by Jodi Daynard
Published by: Opossom Press (2013)
ASIN: B00AHJ5J00
I do love a good historical novel or mystery, and this book includes both. Lizzie Boylston is a young widow in 1775 who lives near John and Abigail Adams in Braintree, Massachusetts. Lizzie is a midwife and healer, and although she grew up in the city of Cambridge, she now must take care of the small farm where she and her husband came as newlyweds.
Lizzie comes from a family of loyalists, but she is definitely now a patriot. Her family were wealthy, but she is now a poor farmer. These contrasts were woven through the story and displayed the gravity of that time in our country's history.
The American Revolution is a main theme of this book, but it is also about friendship, compassion, and a woman's lot in life. The language and descriptions were vivid and authentic. There were a few "slow" times in the book—the pacing was irregular. It's not an action story but did contain some suspense. There are quite a few characters to keep straight throughout the story, some historical and some fiction, but the author made that task relatively easy with great descriptions.
As good-hearted as the heroine of the book is, she doesn't always show a lot of good sense. Her attempts at spying on loyalists are a little silly, but she wants to solve the mystery of some deaths in the community.
No sex or bad language. The editing was very good and the ending of the story very satisfying.
Recommended for those who enjoy historical novels and mysteries, especially with strong female protgonists.

ROCK HERO - CLASSIC INTERVIEWS - LOUIS CLARK - Tuesday 2nd April 1996.
Howard Dobson:- What did you do before working with ELO?
Louis Clark:- Well, basically I started playing with a guy called Raymond Froggitt in the 60's. We used to play all round the Birmingham area and that's how I got to know Jeff Lynne and the other guys. I left that band and went to the Leeds College of Music for three years because I was more interested in writing and arranging. I left college in the mid-70's and that's when Jeff asked me to do the Eldorado album. That was the band's first record in America.
HD:- What's your favourite ELO record?
LC:- Well. I'd say the Eldorado album to be honest. It was quite experimental at the time and it all worked and it had a great feel to it.
HD:- What other projects did you get involved with in the 70s and 80s?
LC:- During that period I was writing and arranging for all kinds of people. I did a couple of tracks for Ozzy Osbourne on "Diary Of Madman", and at the other end of the scale I worked with people like Roger Whittaker. I worked with Ultravox, and I did an album with Kiki Dee, and there was loads of other things that never saw the light of day.
HD:- Weren't you involved with the Hooked on Classics albums as well?
LC:- Yes, that was in 1981. That's been really kind to me, it sold millions all over the world. It was really unexpected. It was just going to be a little novelty single, but it grew out of all proportion.
HD:- When were you asked to join ELO Part II?
LC:- The old band did it's last gigs in 1986. We did Wembley Stadium and some TV shows in America and a couple of dates in Germany, and then it just came to a halt. Jeff didn't want to know anymore but Bev Bevan and a few of the other guys always wanted to carry on. It was 1988, I think, when I got a call to see if I'd be interested in joining the new band, but nothing really happened until 1990. It took a lot of time to get the legalities sorted out, but when everything was in place, we recorded our first album.
HD:- Jeff Lynne wrote all the old hits. Who writes the new material for the band?
LC:- On our last album, we all had a go, we all contributed to it.
HD:- Are there any hard core ELO fans out there that won't have anything to do with the new band?
LC:- I don't know really. I suppose there are. There are plenty of people who didn't follow the old band that come and see us play.
HD:- Do you tour abroad as well as in the UK?
LC:- Oh yer, we go all over the place. We did a fabulous tour of Australia about a year ago with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. We've been to America the last three summers, and we've performed in Argentina, Brazil, Equador, South Africa, Russia and Singapore. We've been just about everywhere.
HD:- How would you describe you stage show?
LC:- Well, I think the band we've got now is the best line-up the ELO's ever had. In the old days they used to rely on theatrical things like lasers and all that kind of stuff. This show relies on the music. We do all the old stuff, obviously. We play all the hits, although we can't do them all in their entirety or we'd be there all night, so we do a couple of medleys. We do a lot of the new stuff as well.
HD:- Do you think it's ironic that Jeff Lynne was asked to produce the Beatles latest single, "Free A Bird" and "Real Love", given that ELO vowed to carry on where The Beatles "I Am a Walrus" left off?
LC:- I think that would have been Jeff's ambition all his life. I'm sure he's fulfilled every ambition he ever had by producing the remaining Beatles. He got very friendly with George Harrison about ten years ago, and then he got to meet Ringo and I suppose Paul got involved in the end as well. I've not heard from Jeff for quite a few years to be honest.
HD:- Will there ever be an ELO reunion?
LC:- I very much doubt it. As far I know, Jeff doesn't want to go on the road again. He never really liked doing live shows and much preferred to work in the studio, so I can't see anything like that ever happening.
