Nestlé is in a panic in the UK and calls in Dr. Miriam Stoppard and Chris Sidgwick
Nestlé's current strategy to enter the UK market is through attempting to persuade midwives to accept its sponsorship. It invites midwives on all-expenses-paid trips to Vevey in Switzerland and tells them how much it cares. This worked with a terribly inaccurate article published by the British Journal of Midwifery in 2006 - so bad that it calls into question the standards of its peer review process and resulted in the journal publishing an extensive right-to-reply from Baby Milk Action.
Now Dr. Miriam Stoppard, a celebrity author and broadcaster in the UK, has been recruited by Nestlé to invite health journalists to Nestlé's global head quarters in Vevey in Switzerland in March.
She writes:
---extract from Dr. Stoppard's invitation
I'm helping the educational division of the Nestle Nutrition Institute to organise a trip that would encompass fact finding, an introduction to Nestlé research and presentations on topics such as obesity, infant nutrition and pre and probiotics (draft agenda below) where Nestlé scientists are engaged in cutting edge research. There will be trips to the laboratories and the opportunity to chat to researchers first hand. There will also be seminars where you can question the decision makers in Nestle about any topic you wish.
We will be housed in the Nestlé Research Centre, nestled in the hills just outside Lausanne. It will be a very pleasant social occasion as well as giving you the opportunity to get to know Nestlé, its work and its programme of corporate social responsibility in some detail.
I do hope you'll be able to join us, if so please let me know as soon as possible and I will organise your flights and accommodation.
The programme includes sessions on pre and pro-biotics, ingredients Nestlé and other companies add to formula and then make idealizing claims about.
It was a Nestlé Nutritionist, Zelda Wilson, who organised the trip resulting in the BJM article, written by midwife Chris Sidgwick and others. Midwives will remember Chris Sidgwick from a past Royal College of Midwives conference when she called on them to stop supporting the boycott and accept Nestlé funding for materials. She had just produced a video with Nestlé funding she was wanting them to use. Such materials can only be produced with the written approval of the Secretary of State for Health. We asked for the letter of authorisation, but it has never been produced.
Our analysis of the BJM article shows how primary sources of data were misrepresented and misquoted. It can be found at:
Now we have no objection to midwives disagreeing with the strategy of the boycott or taking a different view of the evidence, though we would rather have their support, but misrepresenting the evidence - and Baby Milk Action's position - is quite another matter.
The BJM published a long letter from us alongside one in which Chris Sidgwick attempted to defend describing her investigation as independent when the trip was organised and funded by Nestlé.
The page can be downloaded from:
http://www.babymilkaction.org/pdfs/bjmmikesletter0906.pdf
Now we raised these concerns directly with the authors and though Chris Sidgwick, the named conctact, did not respond, one of the other authors did acknowledge our message.
It is a great concern that the article is being distributed by Nestlé without our right-to-reply being included. The most recent case to come to my attention was in Nestlé lobbying of Sheffield University students, encouraging them to drop their support for the boycott. Not only was the article used, but Chris Sidgwick was part of the Nestlé team.
The purpose of the article is explicit. It states: "Education for midwives and sound, well produced, high quality educational material for women is costly; Nestlé have financial and education resources available which would improve services to women and, as a result of fact finding, we see no reason not to tap into those resources at a time when most Trusts and educational establishments have very limited funds available."
With the latest initiative by Dr. Miriam Stoppard, it seems that Nestlé is starting to panic. The UK Government has introduced new regulations for formula marketing and promised to strengthen them in 12 months if they do not stop aggressive marketing. The Baby Feeding Law Group, consisting of UK health worker bodies and mother support groups, has called for Guidance Notes to accompany the law to reject company-sponsored materials such as that proposed by Chris Sidgwick. So perhaps Nestlé sees the clock is ticking its time away and so it is making this last push to gain the support of midwives.
At the same time, Nestlé's Global Public Affairs Manager, Dr. Gayle Crozier Willi, finally had to drop the pretence that the boycott has no impact and admitted last year that the company is 'widely boycotted'. In the UK it is particularly strong amongst student unions - one survey by the National Union of Students Services Ethics Committee finding that Nestlé is the most boycotted company amongst students, with 38% of student unions having official boycotts. See:
http://www.babymilkaction.org/update/update37.html#25
Nestlé now refuses to debate with Baby Milk Action in front of students having lost all past votes and will only speak if we are not present. It sent a team of 5, including Chris Sidgwick and people from Weber Shandwick, its crisis management advisors, to try to persuade the committee at Sheffield University.
Nestlé's best course of action would be to abide by the internationally-agreed marketing requirements, but it still refuses to bring its policies and practices into line.
This offering of 'hospitality' to health journalists and midwives as a way to enter the UK market and undermine support for the boycott raises questions of conflicts of interest, which are addressed in World Health Assembly Resolutions and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code of Professional Conduct, which states:
---NMC Code of Professional Conduct Article 7.2 and 7.4
You must ensure that your registration status is not used in the promotion of commercial products or services, declare any financial or other interests in relevant organisations providing such goods or services and ensure that your professional judgement is not influenced by any commercial considerations.
You must refuse any gift, favour or hospitality that might be interpreted, now or in the future, as an attempt to obtain preferential consideration.
---end of extract
Apparently there were midwives who refused to join the BJM authors on the day-and-a-half trip, where travel, accommodation and food were paid by Nestlé. Perhaps they were concerned about the conflicts of interests and possible breaches of the NMC ethical code. The authors put a very different interpretation on their refusal, however, stating: "Most of us readily agreed to attend, but not all who were invited were allowed to do so by their managers. It was evident that some midwives and health visitors were managed by people who had fixed views about Nestlé and they were not prepared to encourage the investigation. Some were even threatened with their jobs should they get involved."
An investigation does not require taking Nestlé funding and only speaking to Nestlé staff.
A properly-conducted investigation would not result in the flawed article Chris Sidgwick and her colleagues produced.
If any journalist do end visiting Nestlé following the invitation from Dr. Miriam Stoppard let us hope they maintain their independence and do a better job.

I notice Miriam's website has a 'useful link' to the IDFA – Infant & Dietetic Foods Association.
I can't imagine why she'd think parents would find a link to a trade association useful.

I have to say as a midwife I was invited to the trip last year and I turned it down, not because of management as indicated by Chris in her article, but because I didn't agree with it out of principle. She chose not to mention that fact

The study found that women were at greater risk than men of experiencing symptomatic cardiac toxicity when undergoing treatment with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for esophageal carcinoma.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Women undergoing radiation therapy for esophageal cancer appear to be at greater risk of cardiac complications than men, researchers reported here at the Multidisciplinary Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.
In a study involving 120 esophageal cancer patients -- including 26 women -- who underwent the treatment, women were 3.57 times more likely to have cardiac toxicity than men (P=0.005), said Lauren Tait, MD, a radiation oncology resident at Wayne State University in Detroit.
"These data support exercising increased care when designing radiation fields in women undergoing chemoradiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma," Tait told MedPage Today at her poster presentation.
Neal Meropol, MD, a co-author of the study, told MedPage Today that the aim of the retrospective study was hypothesis-generating.
"We want to know if this is a real finding," said Meropol, who is chief of hematology and oncology at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. "We wanted to determine if there are risks of radiation to the esophagus that have gender differences. This requires further exploration."
The researchers reviewed charts from patients at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia and from the Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit who underwent treatment between July 2002 and June 2011. They identified 120 patients with sufficient data for analysis and at least three months of follow-up after completing treatment. Post-treatment cardiac toxicity was confirmed from imaging reports and other diagnostic medical records.
Tait noted that the most common toxicity was pericardial effusion, experienced by 23 patients, including five symptomatic cases. The researchers also observed single cases of angina, cardiomegaly, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and sick sinus syndrome.
The mean time to a finding of cardiac toxicity was five months. Age did not appear to play a significant role in toxicity, the researchers reported.
The median age of the patients in the study was 63 years; the mean age for the men was 62.8 years; the mean age for the women was 63.6 years. Two-thirds of the patients were former or current smokers; 20% were diabetic; 55.8% had pre-existing heart disease.
Tait and Meropol said that why women were experiencing greater toxicity remain controversial. " We don't know if it relates to how the radiation fields were constructed," Meropol said. "It this is a real finding, we also don't know the biology behind it." He suggested further studies of larger data sets were warranted.
However, in commenting on the trial, Richard Goldberg, MD, physician-in-chief at the James Cancer Center at Ohio State University, told MedPage Today, "It's reasonable to consider being more precise in performing radiation therapy on women. Radiation oncologists need to be attentive to patient [size] and therefore heart volume, which may differ between men and women."
The symposium is jointly sponsored by the American Gastroenterology Association, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Society for Radiation Oncology and the Society of Surgical Oncology.
The study authors had no disclosures. Goldberg disclosed commercial interests with Bayer, sanofi-aventis, Genentech, Abbott, and Myriad.

Coming Soon: The Vatican's Report on U.S. Women Religious
The findings of the apostolic visitation conducted by the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life will be disclosed Dec. 16.

CNA/EWTN NEWS News December 4, 2014
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has confirmed it will release its report on the state of women religious in the United States later this month, following up on the apostolic visitation that concluded in January 2012.
"It's true, it's true … It's the congregation that asked us to put this conference in the calendar," Vatican spokesman Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi told CNA Dec. 4, confirming reports in the United States.
The report, from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, will concern the survey of women's religious and their communities in the U.S. known as an apostolic visitation.
Father Lombardi said that the congregation had requested a press conference on its report. The conference will take place Dec. 16.
The visitation was launched in 2008 to examine the quality of religious communities across the U.S. It included meetings, questionnaires and visits to about one-quarter of the country's religious communities.
Mother Mary Clare Millea, the Connecticut-born superior general of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was the apostolic visitor who led the survey.
"Although there are concerns in religious life that warrant support and attention, the enduring reality is one of fidelity, joy and hope," she said in January 2012.
The visitation presented to religious communities several questions concerning religious orders' vocation promotion, admission and formation policies and fidelity to and expression of their vows. The reflections also asked respondents about their concerns for the future of their religious orders.
Some communities challenged the visitation's mandate and chose not to provide the information it requested.
The visitation's working document proposed reflection questions for vowed religious to consider. These included questions about their order's religious identity and spiritual and common life. The questions also addressed orders' governance and financial administration.
Mother Mary Clare said that attention to the visitation "has resulted in a renewed appreciation for the role of religious in the Church and society and has increased dialogue and mutual awareness among the various communities in the United States."
There are more than 52,000 women religious in the U.S., according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The apostolic visitation is distinct from an inquiry into the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, a canonically approved body that has more than 1,500 leaders of women religious communities as members.
The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in April 2012 released a doctrinal assessment of the conference, recommending "greater emphasis" on both the conference's relationship with the U.S. bishops' conference and the need to provide "a sound doctrinal foundation in the faith of the Church."
The assessment found serious theological and doctrinal errors in presentations at the conference's annual assemblies, including statements that constituted "a rejection of faith." Some conference programs and presentations also contained "certain radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith" that risked distorting Catholic teaching on the divinity of Jesus Christ, the Holy Trinity, the Eucharist and the inspiration of sacred Scripture.

Do you want to increase your prospect potential, build a more engaged list, and have a reason to reach out to people who come to your site? Well then building a GOOD attractor is the way to do it! With good attractors you can provide value to your audience, but most importantly you can SELL WITHOUT SELLING! How does that sound? Pretty good, right?
The overwhelming feedback from our Lead Nurturing: Easy as PIE series told us that the #1 biggest boggle for Marketers is Attractors. So our very own, Kim Albee and Margaret Johnson decided to shed some light on the best practices when it comes to building attractors to wrangle your leads.
An attractor, also known as a lead magnet, is defined as "content that is perceived as relevant by your target audience." This content needs to be valuable enough for leads to be willing to give you their email address in order to receive it. The attractor is typically free – to provide the widest scope of potentials. But most importantly, an attractor is NOT the same thing as a CTA or an offer.
An attractor can be a webinar, white paper, checklists, quickstart guide, contest, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. In order for your leads to become engaged and wanting more, more, more of your advice and information, you need to provide value to your target audience with your attractor.
If you've decided on what kind of attractor you're going to build, but you don't know if it's relevant; how do you find out? We find the best way to figure out what content is relevant is by click testing and through the use of buyer personas.
At Genoo, we test through the use of scoring and metrics. Data does not lie! We present a variety of topics in the email and we measure interest through clicks (hence "click testing"). That's how we decide on what our audience thinks is relevant, and what is not. As Margaret put it in the webinar, "we are planting seeds, and seeing what grows." You never know what will be relevant to your audience, unless you test. So try it out, and let us know how it goes for you!
Buyer personas provide great insights about your customer and what is relevant to them, if you set them up correctly. The problem is, many marketers think of buyer personas being more of a "Buyer Profile." Does your buyer persona include the kind of car they drive? Or their marital status? If your answer is yes, then you NEED to watch our webinar replay on "Beware of the Buyer Persona" with Adele Revella, because that is a Buyer Profile, not a Buyer Persona. To be useful, buyer personas should reveal insights about the buying process.
What is the "Right" Way to Drive Traffic?
There are many ways you can drive traffic to your site and obtain more information about prospects. Broadcast emails and segmentation emails are awesome! You can find out exactly what your leads like and don't like, and break it down from there considering whom you're going to target.
Make sure you gate your content! What happens when you send out an email? It gets forwarded. If you don't have a lead capture form gating your attractor you won't be able to see who views your information.
Visit Contentzap.com/events to sign up for future webinars.
Please post your questions in the comments section below, we will be monitoring and will respond. I hope to see you at our next webinar. Good luck building your attractors!

Hamilton resident Heather Smith has terminal cancer. It started as breast cancer. Now spread to her liver and bones, she's been told she has about six weeks left.
But, her last weeks have been made easier because of the kindness of strangers.
"I just can't even express how thankful I am. I'm sitting here accepting my fate whether it be next week, whether it be in two weeks," she says.
It was last month that Heather called Leighton Smith at NewstalkZB to share her views on the welfare system. Heather was at the end of her tether living in a sleepout, undergoing cancer treatment without support. She was ready to give up.
"I would have quite happily walked out in front of a bus. I thought about it, but I wouldn't do it because I couldn't do that to anybody's family and wreck innocent people's lives.
"I think for some reason Leighton pulled it out of me, without me knowing what I was doing."
Raewyn Scott-Smith was listening to that phone call on the radio.
"Basically her life just came out, it was just a sad story. It broke my heart, it broke many people's hearts," she says.
Raewyn is one of many who reached out to help Heather travel to Christchurch to visit her daughter Chanelle, who was recovering from spinal surgery. But those plans fell apart when Heather was told she was unable to fly.

"About a week and a half ago the wheels fell off for Heather and she was admitted to hospital and basically hasn't come out since," Raewyn says.
Instead, Chanelle flew to Hamilton to spend time with her mum. All Heather wanted was to see her daughter and leave behind some photographic memories.
With the help of a photographer, they were captured last weekend.
"Mum and I aren't very photogenic but she captured moments, she captured the love," Chanelle says.
Mother and daughter agree the experience has restored their faith in human nature. Now they're focussed on making sure their time left together counts.

U.S. judge gives conditional green light to Line 3 pipeline project
A judge in Minnesota has given a conditional green light to a Canadian pipeline company's plan to expand a crude oil pipeline connecting the Alberta oilsands to American refineries — but not in the location Enbridge wanted.
Project can proceed, as long as it sticks to its existing route
John Paul Tasker · CBC News · Posted: Apr 23, 2018 6:47 PM EDT | Last Updated: April 24, 2018
In this Aug. 21, 2017, file photo, a pipe fitter lays the finishing touches to the replacement of Enbridge Energy's Line 3 crude oil pipeline stretch in Superior, Minn. Opponents of Enbridge Energy's plan to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota have filed appeals to challenge the state Public Utilities Commission's approval of the project. Environmental and tribal groups filed initial notices Wednesday with the Minnesota Court of Appeals against the commission's decision to grant a certificate of need for the project. Canada-based Enbridge says it believes the courts will reaffirm the project's approval. (Richard Tsong-Taatarii/Star Tribune/The Associated Press)
A judge in Minnesota has given a conditional green light to a Canadian energy company's plan to expand a crude oil pipeline connecting the Alberta oilsands to American refineries — but not in the location Enbridge wanted.
The administrative law judge's report recommends the expansion project be allowed to proceed, as long as it sticks to the line's current corridor and not the revised route the pipeline company pitched.
"Line 3 ... is old, needs significant repair, and poses significant integrity concerns for the state," says the report for the state's Public Utilities Commission on Enbridge's application to replace and expand the Line 3 pipeline. "Accordingly, the judge finds that replacement of the line is a reasonable and prudent action."
Line 3 is the largest pipeline project in Enbridge's history. The 1,659-kilometre project would carry oil from a terminal near Hardisty, Alta., through northern Minnesota to Superior, Wis. (CBC)
Judge Ann O'Reilly shot down Enbridge's planned new route for the expanded line, which would follow a different path for roughly half of its 543 km length that runs through Minnesota. Instead, the judge is recommending "in-trench" replacement of the line along its current route.
"The ... judge finds that, based upon applicant's preferred route, the consequences for Minnesota outweigh the benefits of the project, as it is proposed," says the decision. "This cost-benefit analysis changes, however, if applicant replaces Line 3 in its current location.
New route rejected
"In such a circumstance, the benefits to Minnesota refiners, refiners in the region, and the people of Minnesota slightly outweigh the risks and impacts of a new crude oil pipeline."
The judge points out that sticking to the existing pipeline corridor would isolate the risk of a spill, prevent the establishment of a new pipeline corridor in an environmentally sensitive part of the state and "prevent the abandonment of nearly 300 miles of steel pipeline."
With Trans Mountain on the brink, another major pipeline project faces live-or-die moment
Trans Mountain project no industry game-changer but may get federal funding anyway
"In-trench replacement mitigates, to a large degree, the detrimental impacts that abandonment of an old line and creation of a new oil pipeline corridor would have on the State."
In a statement issued Monday evening, Enbridge said it was "pleased" the judge accepted the need for "this safety-driven maintenance project," but put off commenting on the route recommendation.
"We will be taking time to review, in more detail, the recommendation that we use the existing right-of-way, and will have additional comments to follow," said Enbridge's statement.
Greenpeace Canada, meanwhile — which opposes the project — predicted the route change would be enough to doom the project.
Greenpeace predicts Line 3's failure
"Anytime you hear 'alternate route' it means more costs and longer delays and that's not good news for the pipeline and its investors," said Greenpeace Canada campaigner Mike Hudema in a statement. "In addition to greater costs that would be associated with the alternative route, Enbridge's pipeline still faces several hurdles it cannot overcome.
"Line 3 earned a negative recommendation from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, it lacks consent from impacted Indigenous communities, grassroots resistance on the ground continues to grow, and more and more financial institutions are turning their backs on tar sands projects."

The Trudeau cabinet gave the green light to both the embattled Trans Mountain pipeline project and Line 3 — the largest project in the history of Enbridge — on the same day in November 2016. And while work on Line 3 has already started on the Canadian side of the border, the regulatory agency tasked with approving construction through Minnesota had before today held off granting necessary permissions amid intense local opposition.
The state's Public Utilities Commission will issue its final ruling in June, but the PUC typically weighs an administrative law judge's opinion heavily when making a decision.
Both proponents and foes of the project expect extensive litigation before construction is completed.
Project is not out of the woods yet
"As both Kinder Morgan and [Prime Minister] Justin Trudeau are discovering, tar sands pipelines are a reputational, political and economic liability," said Hudema. "Europe's two biggest banks have now publicly refused to provide project financing for new tar sands pipelines like Line 3 and Keystone XL.
"Meanwhile, the viability of Kinder Morgan's (Trans Mountain) pipeline is teetering on the edge of collapse in the face of delays, First Nations' court challenges and public opposition. So, the question for Minnesota regulators in June is, why take on the risk when there is no future for tar sands pipelines?"
Enbridge hopes to replace the entire span of the aging Line 3 pipeline, which carries oil from a terminal near Hardisty, Alta., through northern Minnesota to Superior, Wis., where it travels on to U.S. refineries for upgrading.
The $7.4-billion project would nearly double the pipeline's current volume to 760,000 barrels a day. The existing line, constructed in the 1960s, has been a source of spills in the past. The company has voluntarily dialled back capacity to address mounting maintenance issues while it pushes ahead with a replacement.

Alberta pipeline bottleneck pressure builds
Enbridge spent $5.3 million U.S. on lobbying efforts in Minnesota last year, according to a review of lobbying records by CBC News. That figure is nearly five times more than any other interest group spent on lobby efforts in that state in the last calendar year.
Amid pricing pressure for Canadian energy goods, Enbridge's stock has sunk in recent months. Line 3 accounts for nearly a third of the company's $21-billion in planned capital spending and an outright rejection would have been financially disastrous for the company.
Despite opposition from environmentalists and some Indigenous groups in the state, a coalition of business and labour groups called Jobs for Minnesotans have been urging the PUC to sign-off on construction, saying the replacement would better protect the environment from leaks, ensure the region's energy supply and create 8,600 well-paying jobs with a total economic impact on the state of $2 billion U.S.

Q: binary search on c, the while loop There's something that I don't get with the binary search code on C.
int binarySearch(int a[], int n, int x)
{
   int low=0, mid, high=n-1;
   while(low <= high)
   {
        mid = (low + high) / 2;
        if (x < a[mid])
            high = mid - 1;
        else if (x > a[mid])
         low = mid + 1;
       else
         return mid;
   }
   return -1;
}

Why does the while loop while(left<=right) can't be written:
while(left<right)?
Will this change effect things?

A: Take a simple case of
int a[1] = {5};
printf("%d\n", binarySearch(a, 1, 5));

With while(low < high), code prints -1 (did not find - wrong answer).
With while(low <= high), code prints 0 (found - right answer).

A: Part 1 - quick answer to this specific problem
This is not a complete summary of the binary search, but I will put it in short to solve this question.
The key difference for these two while loop conditions, given
1. that the low(left) and high(right) pointers are updated accordingly. By "accordingly", please see part 3.
2. given that there is no duplicate in the boundary of LOW(LEFT) and HIGH(RIGHT)
3. given that the target exists in the array
while(low <= high) does the search in the range of [LOW, HIGH], both ends inclusive.
In comparison while(low < high) does the binary search in the range [LOW, HIGH), right/high end exclusive. For binary searches of the target in the upper/right range/part, they always miss checks at the very end/right/high, where the last low(left) stops. To make the range fully covered, one is usually recommended to make another judgement, based on the last low(left) pointer.

Part 2 - general guidelines
General guidelines that might be arbitrary:
1. when dealing with situations where the target surely exists in the array, and the array for search does not contain duplicates, while(low <= high) is preferred
2. when dealing with situations where target does not surely exist in the array, and the array might contain duplicates, while(low < high) is recommended.
Part 3 - code
low(left) and high(right) pointers updated "accordingly"
    public int binarySearch(int[] nums, int target){

        int left = 0, right = nums.length - 1;
        // please pay attention to the initial condition of right(ptr)
        while(left <= right){
            // to floor the mid
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;

            // to check whether the middle element is equal to the target in every iteration
            if(nums[mid] == target) return mid;
            else if(target > nums[mid]) {
                left = mid + 1;
            } else {
                right = mid - 1;
            }
        }

        return -1;
    }

    public int binarySearch(int[] nums, int target){
        // please pay attention to the initial condition or the right(ptr)
        int left = 0, right = nums.length;

        while(left < right){
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;

            // please pay twice attention to the equality case
            if(target > nums[mid]) {
                left = mid + 1;
             } else {
                right = mid;
             }
        }

        return left;
    }

Part 4 - Variations, slightly more advanced
Warning: Confusions might be caused
for the type of while(low <= high):
    public int binarySearchWithFlooringMid(int[] nums, int target){
        // please pay attention to the initial condition of right(ptr)
        int left = 0, right = nums.length - 1;
        while(left <= right){
            // to floor the mid
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;

            // to check whether the middle element is equal to the target in every iteration
            if(nums[mid] == target) return mid;
            else if(target > nums[mid]) {
                left = mid + 1;
            } else {
                right = mid;
            }
        }

        return -1;
    }

    public int binarySearchWithCeilingMid(int[] nums, int target){
        int left = 0, right = nums.length - 1;
        while(left <= right){
            // to ceil the mid
            int mid = left + (right - left + 1) / 2;

            // to check whether the middle element is equal to the target in every iteration
            if(nums[mid] == target) return mid;
            else if(target > nums[mid]) {
                left = mid;
            } else {
                right = mid - 1;
            }
        }

        return -1;
    }

For the type of while(low < high)
    public int binarySearchLeftmost(int[] nums, int target){
        int left = 0, right = nums.length;

        while(left < right){
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;

            // please pay twice attention to the equality case
            if(target > nums[mid]) {
                left = mid + 1;
             } else {
                 right = mid;
             }
        }

        return left;
    }

    public int binarySearchRightmost(int[] nums, int target){
        int left = 0, right = nums.length;

        while(left < right){
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;

            // please pay twice attention to the equality case
            if(target < nums[mid]) {
                right = mid;
            } else {
                left = mid + 1;
            }
        }

        return right - 1;
    }

This post does NOT cover all the cases in terms of binary searches. There are much more sophisticated requirements, which I will talk about in more details after mastering them.

Discussion in 'General Banter' started by MAURICE THE MARTIAN, Dec 13, 2012.
Hi all .currently in Brisbane.and of course lookin at motorin stuff.Staggered at the used car prices.Z4 2.5 auto 03 like mi e 27000.00 dollars about £18000.00 mines worth adout £5000.and its a 3ltr.other cars are the same ie 97 reg are goin for 3.5 -4.0 k glad now i live in uk at least i can afford to buy one here .
You lucky begger Maurice, I got a puncture this morning which wasn't very pleasant having to change a wheel in -4ºC conditions.
You there for Christmas ?
If you really want to rub it in, tell us that you have hired a Zed, you've got a ferry ticket to Straddy and you're going to cruise along 40km beach with a case of Crownies.
Hi Ian.yep over till the 8th jan stayin with the lad been great seeing the grandkids again.been a long16mths.
Wont be hireing any zeds everything so expensive .except petrol which is about 95cents ltr.
Looking at some Aussie sites, I am not surprised at the prices, as there don't seem to be many Zeds down under.
The UK, on the other hand, has quite a few but obviously RHD, which means supply and demand will only be......in the UK.
Over here, on the main land, prices are close to Aussie prices due to people wanting to buy a LHD car that was registered in the country that they live in and not an import. Not that there is any thing wrong with an import, I have done it before with a Merc from Germany, better spec for the price but it was not easy to sell when I got to that point.
January cruise would be good, anybody else interested ?

One of UK's 'most powerful warships' longer in repair than at sea – The Times
The HMS Prince of Wales has suffered a series of costly failures since its launch in 2019
The British Royal Navy's largest ship, the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier, has spent more time docked for repairs than on duty since it was commissioned in 2019, The Times reported on Monday. The vessel is currently sitting in a Scottish dockyard with a broken propeller shaft.
The £3.2 billion ($3.8 billion) warship has spent only 267 days at sea since entering active duty in December 2019, the newspaper reported, citing Ministry of Defense figures. Christmas Eve marked the 268th day it has spent undergoing repairs.
In a lecture earlier this month, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, chief of the Defence Staff, admitted that the carrier has been a source of "deeply frustrating" problems. Such megaships "are massive capital projects where sometimes things will go wrong," Radakin added.
The Royal Navy describes the Prince of Wales as "one of the most powerful surface warships ever constructed in the UK." Capable of launching NATO's latest F-35B multirole combat aircraft, its flight deck is 70 meters wide and 280 metrers long, and with aircraft onboard it takes a crew of around 1,400 to operate.
The carrier's malfunctions began with two major floods in 2020. The second flood filled the engine room with thousands of gallons of seawater, resulting in the Prince of Wales missing a planned trip to the US and returning to its home port of Portsmouth for six months of repairs.
The carrier managed to sail to Gibraltar in 2021, but disaster struck again a year later when it broke down shortly after leaving Portsmouth en route to the US this August. Engineers discovered damage to its propeller shaft, which naval officials reportedly blamedon the crew forgetting to grease it adequately.
A Royal Navy spokesman told The Times tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Are there really more people dying suddenly than previously? YES
>more people alive than before
Why we look at %, not just raw numbers
Were there really that many more pro athletes now than before Covid? Doubt it.
>baddies doing the same shit they were doing before
Baddies were not giving covid jabs before, they are now
Clearly remember a very early advisory in i think Holland for people to avoid strenuous exercise right after receiving the jab after some guy in a bicycle club keeled over right after getting jabbed.
That was the start.
What we need are more studies comparing hearts attacks in athletes due to congenital causes vs either Covid (or at least "unknown" causes). But the studies so far do show an alarming rise in the umber of heart attacks and other serious negative effects on the heart in previously healthy adults receiving the jab:
Myocarditis Cases Reported After mRNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccination in the US From December 2020 to August 2021
Based on passive surveillance reporting in the US, the risk of myocarditis after receiving mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines was increased across multiple age and sex strata and was highest after the second vaccination dose in adolescent males and young men.
There are fewer studies on athletes, presumably because they are pretty controversial. Still:

"Psychological Operations" "Non linear war" "Information War" "Unrestricted War"
Psychological operations are by far the most potent weapons in warfare, and psycho-social effects of these weapon may develop slowly, certainly over decades or longer. Often a change is so gradual as to be almost imperceptible, and when we do notice we take it to be natural. The change is always negative, always portrayed as beneficial, a social step forward. One example.
Porno was and is a high priority mob/CIA social subversion project.
In the 1950s the US Post office employed hundreds of agents to police the mails. Pornography was seized regularly.
Freedom of speech arguments prevailed in our courts and allowed the cult/mob to take us from no-sexual- material-goes-through -the-US mail in the 1950s to Deep Throat opens in regular theaters and drive-ins in 1972.
Masturbation was declared by 'experts' to be harmless and pornography was said to be wholesome and natural sexual expression of delight in the beauty of the opposite sex and to offer a safe outlet to perverts who might otherwise rape children.
Porn was marketed and promoted professionally. When Meyer said "We're bigger than US Steel," in the 1950s he was being modest. That the former mob business "went legit" is another way of saying our entire culture adopted a ruthless efficient and extractive economy that has no concern for destructive effects on the host population.
US porn was a NY based, Gambino family business, run by Robert DiBernadino partnered with the Cleveland porno distributor and dildo manufacturer Reuben Sturman. The two men controlled almost all the print and film/video porno produced and distributed in the US and worldwide � with exception of honeypots like Playboy magazine which was C_A controlled from Langley. The idea that the 50s were staid and uptight is myth. This was a planned psychological attack, it created a hyper sexualized culture where media is perfused with overt and subliminPost too long.

Earth offered His Son for sacrifice. His Son is Him. He came to Earth to fulfill the law. The law was created by man, other for self. You can offer no other, greater than THE SON OF GOD in exchange for yourself. That is why it is GOOD NEWS. You no longer have to offer a single thing to God(s) in exchange for yourself, your comfort, your absolution; because nothing compares.

We reenact the ritual sacrifice's cannibalism because people forget their base, their roots; the animal that is a human finds its easiest pray in each other. People really eat people. Always have. In a post-Christ world we have forgotten that fact.

13 Ways to Bleed on Stage () — второй студийный альбом американской пост-гранж группы Cold, выпущенный в 2000 году. Благодаря четырём синглам, ставшим известными, он стал коммерчески успешным, получив золотой статус.

История
Примерно за год до записи альбома группа включила в состав Терри Бальзамо, так как Скутер Уорд, который ранее одновременно играл на гитаре и пел, хотел сосредоточиться на пении. После прослушивания нескольких музыкантов из Лос-Анджелеса, Cold выбрали Бальзамо, который также был из Джексонвилля и уже играл с музыкантами группы с 18-летнего возраста.

Основные структуры песен для "13 Ways" были написаны до студийной сессии. Используя гитарный строй Drop C, Cold экспериментировали с различными звуками и ритмами уже в студии. Бальзамо в основном использовал гитару Ibanez RG570 и Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier.

Часто считаемый самой тёмной работой группы, альбом раскрывает такие темы, как наркозависимость, проблемы в отношениях и социальное равнодушие. В записи альбома приняли участие Аарон Льюис из Staind и Сиерра Суон, которая также приняла участие в записи следующего альбома Cold, Year of Spider.

Поддержка альбома
После выпуска альбома, в его поддержку Cold полгода находились в турне. Три недели группа играла на одной сцене с 3 Doors Down, месяц с Marilyn Manson, затем несколько недель с Limp Bizkit и DMX (тур Anger Management). Cold (вместе с The Offspring, Weezer, Social Distortion, Incubus и Adema) играли на первом ежегодном концерте Inland Invasion, состоявшемся 25 августа, 2001 и проведенном лосаджелесской радиостанцией KROQ-FMK.

Синглами в поддержку альбома стали "Just Got Wicked", "End of the World", "No One" и "Bleed (feat. Aaron Lewis)", на каждый был снят клип, находившийся в ротации на телеканале MTV2. Большинство из синглов имели заметный успех на радиостанциях.

"Just Got Wicked" была включена в сборники MTV: The Return of the Rock, Vol. 2, ECW: Extreme Music Vol. 2: Anarchy Rocks, и в саундтрек к видеоигре Jet Set Radio. "No One" включена в саундтрек к фильму Спеши любить.
