Italian city guides with tips for travelers that include our favorite spots for eating, drinking, and sightseeing.
Fountain of Neptune - This fountain was created by Giambologna in 1566 and is located in Piazza Maggiore. You might see people standing and looking at the statue from behind…get a local to show you the optical illusion.
Arches under Palazzo Re Enzo – In the archway under Palazzo Re Enzo there is a lovely surprise. If you stand with a friend in opposite corners facing the wall, your voice will be carried over to the other person.
Archiginnasio – Built in 1563 by commission of Pope Pius IV, with its arched courtyard and ornate decoration, it is possibly one of the most beautiful buildings in Bologna. It was previously the main building of the University of Bologna which was founded in 1088 and is the oldest continuously running university in the western world. The University also gave the city of Bologna the nickname "La Dotta" or The Learned. The Anatomical Theater, located inside the Archiginnasio, is a lecture hall built and ornately decorated in wood. It was used by the University's medical school to teach the human anatomy to students by operating on cadavers. The Archiginnasio is also home to the largest library in Emilia Romagna region.
Santa Maria della Vita – In the back right of this small church are the six extraordinarily dynamic, life-sized terra cotta statues that depict the scene of the Death of Christ (Compianto sul Cristo Morto) by Niccolò del Arca made in 1462.
Quadrilatero – This charming neighborhood is full of food markets where you can find any of the many local and regional specialties: Mortadella, Tortellini, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Balsamic vinegar from Modena, Prosciutto di Parma, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables and fish. There are plenty of bars and small restaurants to grab something to eat as well. Because of its rich culinary offerings, one of Bologna's nicknames is "La Grassa" (The Fat One).
Museo di Bologna – The Museum of Bologna tells the history of the city in an interactive and modern setting within the historic Palazzo Pepoli.
Santo Stefano – Known in Bologna as the "Sette Chiese", Santo Stefano is a complex of seven churches/religious structures from different eras and styles, all built on one site.
Le Due Torri (the two towers) – Bologna was once a city full of towers (100 plus!) that have since been destroyed. The Asinelli and Garisenda towers, built at the beginning of the 1100's, are the most famous towers that remain. Climb up the 498 stairs of the Asinelli tower to get an amazing view of the city. Local superstition says that students of the University of Bologna who climb the tower during their studies will not graduate, so many wait until after graduation before ever climbing to the top.
La Pinacoteca - The National Art Gallery of Bologna is home to a wide range of paintings from the 13th to the 18th century, including works of art by Raphael, Perugino, Titian, Tintoretto, Giotto, Parmigianino, Guido Reni, and the Carracci brothers.
"Little Venice" - On via Piella you will find a small window that reveals one of the few above-ground canals that runs through the city. There are a series of other canals, all underground, that you can explore with a guide on foot or by raft.
Mambo - The Modern Art Museum of Bologna has a wonderful collection of works by Italian artists from after WWII to present. I highly recommend visiting the special gallery dedicated to my favorite Bolognese painter, Giorgio Morandi. Mambo is also home to a lovely bookshop and bar.
Cineteca – One of the most important in all of Europe, the Cineteca has an enormous archive of films which they restore and show to the public at the Cinema Lumière, or during the summer months under the stars in Piazza Maggiore.
San Luca - If you're looking for a little extra exercise (rain or shine), you can take a walk uphill to the Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca (or Basilica di San Luca) under the "portici", the covered arcade that consists of 666 arches. From the top of the hill, which is located southwest of the city center, you can enjoy another lovely view of Bologna and will understand why the last of the city's nicknames is "La Rossa" (literally, The Red One) because of the abundant use of terra cotta in the construction of the buildings and rooftops (…but also for the city's communist leaning past).
Pasta Naldi - Fresh pasta made by three generations of women from the Naldi family. No indoor seating, but if you order take-out you can head to the nearest Piazza (San Francesco) or use the tables and benches of neighboring bars along via Pratello as long as you order a drink from them!
SfogliaRina - Fresh pasta dishes served in a charming, casual setting right in the city center. Their tortelloni are delicious!
PizzArtist - Casual take-out pizza by the slice. They offer a very well curated variety of fresh toppings and combinations that you won't find in the average pizzeria. Try a slice with zucchini, fior di latte and anchovies or broccoli rabe and sausage if you're feeling more adventurous, otherwise a more classic option is bufala, tomato and olives .
Terzi - Best coffee in Bologna hands down. They offer a variety of single origin coffees from around the world, and will sprinkle your cappuccino or caffé macchiato with freshly grated chocolate, served in a gold rimmed cup. They also offer a wide variety of teas and fresh squeezed juices.
Fram Cafè – A cute vegetarian café open all day with strong wifi and alternative milks (almond, soy, rice) otherwise hard to find in Italy.
Casa Minghetti – Super chic bar in the city center. Secure a spot at the bar to people watch as Bologna's businessmen (and women) have their daily espressos. If it's nice out, take your coffee outside and enjoy the view of the elegant Piazza Minghetti.
In my opinion, these three gelaterie tie for the absolute best gelato in Bologna. They each have amazing fresh fruit flavors (and granitas, too!), rich cream and chocolate flavors, as well as interesting flavor inventions of their own!
Cremeria Funivia - My favorite is yoghurt and raspberry, but you cannot go wrong with any of the flavors here. A plus about the Cremeria Funivia is that it is located in front of a little park with benches where you can take your gelato to eat.
Galliera Quarantanove Bottega Gelateria - Exceptional fresh fruit (or almond) granitas and gelato.
Gelatauro - Offers a variety of more creative flavor offerings like brownie, ginger and pear, or spicy dark chocolate, along with classics like fior di latte, cream, chocolate chip and seasonal, fresh fruit flavors.
Osteria del Sole - The oldest Osteria in Bologna dating back to 1465. Here you can bring your own snacks or cured meats from nearby Salumerie for an aperitivo to enjoy with a glass or bottle of your choice from the wide selection of wines (and beers) offered by the Osteria. Keep in mind that it closes on the early side, around 9:30/10:00pm and is very popular with the locals. Large groups should reserve a table.
Fermento – A charming and down-to-earth bar with a well cared for selection of food and wines at very reasonable prices. It is located just outside the city center in the neighborhood near the train station called La Bolognina. Fermento is my go-to place with friends for excellent cocktails, artisanal beers, meat and cheese plates and focaccias.
Senza Nome - The first bar in Italy completely run by deaf individuals, the bar Senza Nome is a wonderful place to get an aperitivo that successfully integrates the hearing and non-hearing communities. Try ordering your drink by using Italian Sign Language (diagrams are featured on the wall for beginners), by writing down your order or using the printed out pieces of paper to hand to the barista, or by having your lips read.
Mercato delle Erbe - Food market during the day, restaurant and bar area by night. Here you can grab food & drinks in the market from a variety of stands and vendors.
Camera a Sud - A lovely place to grab a drink in the city center before (or after) dinner because of its creative and comfy atmosphere.
Vagh in Ufezzi – Typical home cooked Bolognese meals that vary from day to day, in a home-y, casual setting and very inexpensive prices. It's a good idea to reserve a table ahead of time as this place is quite small and very appreciated by the locals for its price/quality ratio.
Vasinikò – Really good Neapoletan style pizzeria in downtown Bologna. A plus to Vasinikò is that the restaurant is giant and you can almost always find a table (even on a busy Saturday night)!
Drogheria della Rosa – Higher-end trattoria with excellent food and service in a lovely ambiance. This refined Bolognese restaurant located in an ex-pharmacy is delicious, charming and totally worth it…and you might even get a rose from the owner at the end of your meal.
Osteria Le Sette Chiese – You can't come to Bologna and NOT try the crescentine (salty fried dough) or the tigelle (compact round bread) served with the typical array of cured meats and cheeses! Although you can find these at many restaurants throughout Bologna, I would recommend the rustic and intimate setting of this tiny osteria near Piazza Santo Stefano.
Ristorante Africano - If you are in the mood for something different, the African Restaurant is a great place to try some new flavors. The staff is very friendly and the food - ranging from Moroccan to Ethiopian - is abundant and delicious. I highly recommend trying the Zighnì.
Bottega degli Oleari - Stylish clothing and accessories for both men and women.
C. Leather Goods - Make sure to stop by and say hi when you're in Bologna. Take home some handmade gifts in Italian leather as souvenirs for yourself and your loved ones! Send an email to set up an appointment.
Cavallo Spose - This beautiful atelier is located right in the city center. Climb up to the third floor to see the stunning creations of Lorella Cavallo as well as selection of accessories by C. Leather Goods and Liceo Modisteria. While you're there you can admire the beauty of this historic building and enjoy a wonderful view of the towers!!
Drogheria dalla Pioggia - A quintessential old-school Italian drug-store that is chock full with items ranging from beautifully packaged candies to house-cleaning products.
Mariromei Legatoria - Creative space filled with handcrafted jewelry, stationary, scarves and other unique items.
Hotel Baalbek – Charming little boutique filled with handcrafted treasures from around the world.
ONO - Art gallery, bar, art bookshop, and vinyl record store all-in-one.
Fabrica Features – Fun and creative design objects for you and your home.
All'egra - A colorful clothing store for women with a focus on brands Made in Italy.
Strega Thé - Extensive selection of teas in every possible combination of aromas & variety.
Bologna Airport - (BLQ) Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna.
Bus Shuttle – BLQ Bus to/from airport and train station costs 6 euros. Service starts at 5:30am and ends at 12:30am. From 7:30am to 9:30pm the bus runs every 11 minutes.
Train Station - Bologna Centrale with Trenitalia or Italo Trains.
Bus - ATC 1.50 euros/ticket if you buy with exact change on the bus (Red ticket dispensers). 1.30 euros/ticket if you buy an individual ticket at a Tabaccheria (insert it into the gray & yellow ticket machines on the bus). Or buy the City Pass in a Tabaccheria which costs 12 euros for 10 rides (always remember to pass your ticket in the gray ticket machine). One ticket is valid for 75 minutes from the time you insert it into the ticket machine!
Car - Take the exit for Bologna from the A1 or A14. The city center is mostly closed off to cars "Zona Traffico Limitato-or- ZTL" (unless you're a taxi, bus, or resident of that area). It is recommended to park outside the city center or find a reasonably priced parking garage nearby. If parking on the street, please take note of the color of the lines: White lines mean parking for residents only, blue lines mean anyone can park there (make sure to see if there is an hourly fee to pay), and yellow lines mean NO parking (either Handicap parking or Bus stops).
Bike - Bologna is a fairly biker friendly city with bike paths around the city center. Visitors can rent bikes from the Dynamo Velostazione, among others. Make sure you have a solid lock and always park it on a visible public bike rack.
Foot - Bologna is a great walking city. You can walk from one side to the other in just about 45 minutes! The city is covered in almost 40 kilometers of porticoes, so even when it's raining you can enjoy the city and stay dry!
Roberto "Freak" Antoni - Bolognese writer, singer, performance artist, actor, and poet. Known best for singing in the comical music group the Skiantos. Book recommendation: Non c'è gusto in Italia ad essere intelligenti (seguirà il dibattito).
Umberto Eco – Italian writer, philosopher and semiotician. He lived and taught as a Professor in Bologna and cofounded the University of Bologna's department "D.A.M.S." - Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo (Department of the Arts, Music and Theatre). Book recommendation: The Name of the Rose.
Pier Paolo Pasolini – Bolognese born poet, author, journalist, screenwriter, playwright, director and actor. He lived in Bologna for his time at the high school "Liceo Galvani" and graduated from the University of Bologna's Department of Literature. Book recommendation: Ragazzi di Vita.

During my days working with WordPress themes, I commonly used the method of Child themes to customize my themes. Child themes can be very useful if handled appropriately.
I wonder if we can create child themes from the classibase theme, so we can work out some customs changes within the script itself, while not loosing these changes when a new version update comes.
Child themes are good idea, we thought about it before. Child theme is good if theme has its own functions that can be used in child theme. In our case if you for example create child theme and edit ad.php file. Then on next update we change ad.php file, your child theme will not reflect update because it will use its own ad.php file. So using child theme is not that much usable in this case. Only way it can be useful when you change ad.php and we update other file, then you do not have to change anything and your child theme will be up to date.
It is good idea but we are not planning to add it any time soon. It is good to have but not must have feature for us.
copy and rename existing theme folder located in user-content/themes/. Make sure to use unique name that cannot be overwritten with other new theme, for example add prefix that is unique to you.
Edit info.php file to change theme name.
Then you can change any file within theme.

Q: iOS Google Maps marker info window crashes when adding any subview(s) I'm using Google Maps Sdk installed over Pods. When I try to create a custom info window via the according delegate functions it only works when the view is empty (no subviews contained). This problem seems to be version dependent since my custom info window worked until a month ago. Did anybody came across the same issue.
I tried to look through iOS Google Maps issue tracker but I couldn't find anything.
Some code:
- (UIView *)mapView:(GMSMapView *)mapView markerInfoWindow:(GMSMarker *)marker{
     PPNearbyMarker *markerView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"PPNearbyMarker" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
     return markerView
 }

Edit:
There is no actual crash, it seems that the UI is blocked by a endless loop, deadlock or whatever. No exception is thrown. The metrics of the device are showing a high CPU usage and memory usage.

For most homeowners, Asian bathroom designs are likely to consist mainly of overhead lamps combined with a sconce that can provide the space with a really unique flare. In an Asian bathroom design, soft-glow types of lights are preferred in order to provide a cooler light when compared to the incandescent light that comes from florescent bathroom lamps.
Asian bathroom designs are all about more vibrant colors and screens when it comes to the bathroom walls and tiles – this way, an optical illusion of a larger bathroom space is provided. Even if some of the most popular Asian bathroom designs are very likely to resemble the 5-start hotel rooms when it comes to their modern elegance, the essence of every Asian bathroom design is directly derived from nature.
For instance, bamboo prints mixed with waterproof wallpaper can provide extra color to the bathroom walls while flora can be introduced as well in order to get an Asian look for your bathroom space. Mahogany and wood tiles can be used as well. You can go for a wide type of bathtub or you can choose the more popular Japanese soaking tub that comes in a circular shape. Shower heads, simple fixtures and booths are perfect for a smaller bathroom space.
You should also consider an Asian bathroom vanity in order to stay really conscious about your Asian bathroom design. Your soothing environment provide by the Asian bathroom design can be enhanced by having an Asian vanity unit installed in this space. If you want to a go for a more modern looking Asian vanity, you should choose a freestanding Asian vanity rather than an Asian one that is built in. There are 2 main steps that are to be followed when looking for a built-in Asian bathroom vanity unit. First, you will have to decide the exact base you plan to use because there is a wide range of Asian designs for you to choose from.
Different issues that include types of doors and drawers, length, height or width are to be considered as well. Once you have determined on which base you are planning to install the built in Asian vanity, you will also have to choose a bathroom countertop that best compliments your Asian vanity design. Also, the overall theme of your bathroom space is to be considered as well. Some of the best materials for the Asian vanity design are ceramic, marble or granite.
If you decide to go for a freestanding Asian vanity, you should know that there are plenty of designs that are available on the market. With such a freestanding unit, you will find the top and the vanity installed just in one piece. This means that all you will have to do is to make just one selection in order to find out right from the beginning how this Asian vanity will look in its polished and finished form. Usually, freestanding Asian vanity units are made of granite or glass. Also, they come with already drilled holes that are necessary for the faucets installation thus making the bathroom easier to install.

Human trafficking victim
Concerning O.O.A. and her child vs. Denmark for violation of articles 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 18, 26 and 27, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The author is a Nigerian national born in 1990. From she was 17 years old, she lived on the street in Lagos with other homeless people. In September 2009, she met a married couple, Mr. P.B. and Ms. B.O. They offered to help her, and brought her to Denmark to work as an au-pair for Mr. P.B and Ms B.O. The author states that after her arrival, she was raped by the husband, who also threatened to kill her if she told his wife about the rape. After a month, she was told by Ms. B.O. that she would not be an au-pair, but prostitute to repay them, since she owed them €50,000 for bringing her to Denmark. She was then forced to work as a prostitute in different brothels in Jutland. On 17 August 2010, the author reported Ms. B.O. and Mr. P.B. to the police in Silkeborg, Denmark. They were prosecuted and detained. During the criminal proceedings, the author appeared as a witness against them. Around September or October 2010, she received a telephone call from Mr. P.B.'s brother, who lived in Nigeria. He told her that she would be killed if she came back to Nigeria. After that, she decided to change her telephone number to avoid receiving further threats.
The author claims that if she returned to Nigeria, she would be at risk of being killed and tortured in violation of articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant. Furthermore, she submits that the State party is obliged to provide full protection to her as a witness and a person who reported a case of human trafficking.
The Human Rights Committee is of the view that the deportation of the author to Nigeria would violate her rights under articles 6 and 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Pregnancy can be an emotionally overwhelming experience for just about anybody. But for women with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), it can be downright scary. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information to be found about how PTSD can impact a pregnancy, leaving many moms-to-be with even more questions and concerns.
The few studies that examined how PTSD affects pregnancy are mixed. Some say women with PTSD experience fewer symptoms when expecting, while others cite higher risk of complications due to PTSD. However, the studies did find that PTSD symptoms during pregnancy require treatment and care just as much as the pregnancy itself.
Self-care during pregnancy is important for all women, but it is particularly necessary for those suffering from PTSD. Without a keen sense of how you are feeling and putting your emotional needs first, you may find your mental health will begin to deteriorate.
It is really important that you are completely transparent with all of your doctors during this time and share critical information. For instance, maybe you've told your therapist that you are pregnant, but neglected to mention that you've stopped taking your medications at the recommendation of your OBGYN. Maybe your OBGYN knows you have taken antidepressants in the past, but does not know you are currently battling PTSD. Not sharing pertinent information with your specialists will make it difficult to determine the right treatments at the right time.
Now is not the time to try and be superhuman. Instead, be realistic and set your priorities. Do the dishes really need to be washed? Do you really have to return those emails? What about painting the nursery? The answer is no, those chores can wait. Focus on getting rest and relaxation while you can.
Keeping your emotions and concerns inside will not help you manage your pregnancy. You will require a loving support group of family and friends that understand what you are going through, as best they can. Openly discussing your pregnancy and PTSD can provide strength and comfort during those particularly rough times.
If you are experiencing symptoms of PTSD and are pregnant, but are not currently working with a therapist, consider doing so. They will be able to help you navigate your anxiety and depression during this very crucial time.
If you would like to explore treatment options, please contact me. I would be more than happy to discuss how I may be able to help.

These five aspects seem to summarize the current point of view of the regulator. They include confirmation that a token issued within the framework of an ICO can be a security that must be registered with the SEC, regardless of how it is positioned by the ICO issuer. The guide also mentions the risks that investors may face - the regulator encourages them to conduct their own research before investing in such projects.
"Companies and individuals are increasingly considering initial coin offerings (ICOs) as a way to raise capital or participate in investment opportunities. While these digital assets and the technology behind them may present a new and efficient means for carrying out financial transactions, they also bring increased risk of fraud and manipulation because the markets for these assets are less regulated than traditional capital markets."
The full manual is available on the SEC website.
Late last week, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said that the delay in the implementation of cryptocurrency regulation can give more freedom to the industry and give it the opportunity to develop independently. In December, a representative of the SEC said that some unregistered ICOs could be held with the approval of the agency. At the same time, Commissioner Jay Clayton said a month earlier that ICO issuers always need to "begin work with the assumption that their token is a security."

Come and Advocate for low-wage individuals and households at The NJ State House – Thursday, April 15 @11:30am, Room 109
ANTI-POVERTY NETWORK OF NEW JERSEY PRESS CONFERENCE: "IS 'SACRIFICE' IN THE STATE BUDGET REALLY 'SHARED'?"
Governor Christie has called for "shared sacrifice" in order to deal with New Jersey's current fiscal crisis. An "Ad-hoc" committee from among members of the Anti-Poverty Network of New Jersey has been examining proposed cuts in programs that serve people living in poverty in New Jersey. We have identified approximately $340 million in cuts to programs that will directly impact low wage and low income individuals and households. Many of these will have a devastating impact on some of the most vulnerable people in the state. We note at the same time, that the state's highest wage earners will see an increase in their incomes, as last year's tax surcharge goes away.
We will publically release our findings at a Press Conference on THURSDAY, APRIL 15 AT 11:30 AM - IN ROOM 109 0F THE STATEHOUSE. Along with information about the scope of the proposed cuts, we will provide detailed information about real impact these cuts will have on the safety net that currently provides at least minimal protection for those who are still suffering from the economic downturn. We also will share data on the cost implications these 'savings' might have in the future.
Elected officials have been invited to attend the Press event, and along with statistical information, we will hear from people whose lives will be directly affected by what the Governor is proposing.
We hope that many of the member organizations of the APN will attend this event and show support. Our written findings and report will be available to all of you after the press event.
Please let us know if you plan to attend – ttruitt@merceralliance.org.
Please Contact: Tarry Truitt, Communications and Project Manager, ttruitt@merceralliance.org or 609-844-1008

Computer science lesson 18                          26.09.18

We didn't have a lesson today because the whole of year 10 was on enrichment da. We went to the science museum in London.

If you've gone into a store in the last week, you've probably noticed that Valentine's day has already exploded in all of its heart-shaped-flower-bundle-glitter glory. If you've talked to a prospective Ph.D. psychology student in the last week, you've probably noticed that interview season has also sprung up in all of it's anxious-nail-biting-obsessive-email-checking ugliness.
The interview process is different at every school, for every department, and no two students have the same experience. However, there are some basic pieces of advice that apply to a wide range of Ph.D. Psych interview weekends. Below, I outline my top 10 pieces of advice for prospective students for interview weekend.
You can monitor interview invites online. One of the worst things about interview weekend is wondering if you are getting an interview. Admittedly, the system is pretty awful. Most departments who know they won't admit a certain student will not send out a rejection until March/April, even though interview decisions are made much earlier. One way you can try to track down the status of invitations is by going onto The Grad Cafe's Search Results. The search results are a place where prospective students report if they have been contacted by the department for an interview, or received admission. So, if there are multiple entries for interview invitations for UCLA in Developmental Psychology, the interviews have probably gone out. But if there are no entries, they might still be coming!
Be a nice human being, all the time. This second piece of advice goes for all facets of life, but it is especially important for interview weekends. Be a nice human. Coming to visit a university is an opportunity for you to see how well you fit in with the campus climate, graduate students, and faculty. Psychology departments put a lot of effort into interview weekend, so be appreciative to all of those around you. Be nice to the graduate students transporting you, housing you, interviewing you, giving you tours, and the ones who hand you a much-needed napkin at lunch. Be nice to the staff in the front office, the parking attendant, the reimburser, the faculty, the custodial staff. People talk to each other and word gets around real quick when there is a rude or entitled prospective student lurking about. On top of being a good human, try to roll with the punches. There are bound to be unexpected challenges during interview weekend (running late, coffee stain, acne breakout, etc.). One of the greatest strengths in graduate school is the ability to remain flexible and stay focused, so take the hiccup as they come and stay positive.
Don't wear new shoes!!! Many prospective students show up to interview weekend wearing new shoes that look chic and fashionable. Don't wear them. They will tear up your feet and make you miserable. No one cares what sort of shoes you wear-- this is not project runway. This is academia, this is professional, and wearing boring shoes looks a lot better than walking barefoot at the end of the day with blistered feet. If you must bring fancy shoes, bring comfortable ones as well (ladies, you can tuck a pair of flats into your bag for later). On a similar note, make sure to wear layers because it is often freezing outside and scorching hot inside the building (but NO short skirts). You need to be prepared to adjust to any weather. Oh, and you don't need to wear a double-breasted suit either. Just look professional, and bring your intellectual A game.
Know the research. While it's a no brainer that you should be able to recall the major findings in the last five studies your potential PI has published, you should also take the time to have a general sense of what other faculty study. At most interviews, you will meet with other faculty and familiarity with their area of research can go a long way. Starting a conversation with "so what do you do?" just makes things awkward. During your travel, look up featured publications faculty often have on their websites and read the abstracts. Simply having a vague idea of what the person studies can earn you much more respect than having no idea.
Prepare a response to "So tell me about yourself." This question is pretty lame, but when energy runs out at the end of the day, it's a low hanging fruit that many people reach for to start a conversation. While no one can really explain who they are in just a 30 minute interview, try to come up with 3 easy things you can talk about. For example, my response usually went something like, "There's really three main things about me, there's my research, there's what inspired me to go to graduate school and study psychology, and then there's what I like to do for fun." I would then give a brief overview of my research interests, a quick background of what made me prepared to succeed in graduate school, and then I usually talked about one of my dorky hobbies. You can also talk about your family, or your dog. Fun facts can help you come off as more personable, so try to pick something interesting about you. Saying you like to cook, run, or do yoga is a little boring and forgetful. Instead, tell us you finally mastered the chilli renello, you beat your 9 minute mile, or that you are working on your handstands.
Always stay engaged. A lot of people equate graduate school to a marathon race where speed doesn't matter as much as stamina. In your interviews, you will be exhausted. Your mind will feel empty, you will be tired of talking about your research, and you'll just want to curl up in a corner and check out. Don't do this. If you need a break, take a walk if you can, or find a bathroom and just take a minute to close your eyes. When prospective students are seen sitting alone and playing on their phone, it paints a picture of disinterest. One can think, "How will they last 5-6 years of graduate school if they can't even keep up with interview weekend?" You need to be on, all the time.
Get to know the graduate students. If you ask me, graduate school isn't actually a marathon, it's an extremely long relay race. You will need friends to pick you up in your low moments, to keep you motivated, to take notes in statistics class when you have travel to a conference, and to enable your addiction to the campus taco bell. While normal friends are necessary, graduate student friends provide a special kind of social support. They are fellow allies in the trenches with you who can truly empathize. A department with good culture is worth its weight in publications. Talking to graduate students at interview weekend will give you an idea of what the culture is like, and they will also be honest about their experiences with faculty and the department. Get to know them well and thank them for taking the time out of their schedules to meet with you.
Bring questions. Toward the end of the interviews, you will likely be asked if you have any questions for the graduate student, the faculty, your POI. Never leave them hanging. Prepare a list of questions and always ask something. Even if it's something not related to research, such as "what makes a good graduate student?" you will come off as being prepared and engaged.
Send a thank you. After an interview send your deepest thanks for a great experience. I think it best to send hand-written cards in the snail mail to POIs, but you can also send some/leave some to graduate students who housed you. But no matter what, at least send an email thank you. It help brings a sense of closure to the experience and reminds the receiver that you are a nice human being who is truly grateful for the experience.
Choose carefully. If you get lucky, you will interview at multiple universities. If you are even luckier, you will be granted admission to a few of them. The decision of where to go is sometimes quite easy, but other times it is a very difficult choice to make. Know that no matter what place you go to, you will always miss out on awesome opportunities. When I received a few offers, it almost felt worse than just getting one offer because I had to look amazing, wonder, and brilliant departments, faculty, and students in the eye and say "no thanks." It's an awful feeling, but this is all part of the process. Every faculty member I met on my interview journey clearly communicated that they wanted what was best for my educational journey, so in the end you just have to listen to your gut. While I wish there was a way to work with all of our research heroes, the reality is you get one only one ticket. Chose carefully and enjoy the ride!

        }

     h_sort(h_arr2,sameness);
    for (int i = 0; i < sameness; i++)
        printf("\n hi %x %d %x %d\n", h_arr2[i].letter,
            h_arr2[i].freq,h_arr2[i].left -> letter,h_arr2[i].right -> freq);

    //This will be to input the nodes into a LL //
    for (int i = 0; i < sameness; i++){
       head = insert_ll(&h_arr2[i], &h_arr2[i+1]);
    }

   head = create_tree(head);
   char *codes =(char *) malloc(sizeof(char));

   printBin(head,codes,0);

    /* Test to make sure it prints out correctly */
    printf("\n\n");
    printf("this is i: %d\n",i);
    printf("%d\n",size);

    free(arr);
    free(count);

    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

A: You call printBin with 'codes' pointing to a single character. If it recurses more than one level, you're pointing at unallocated memory. At that point, you'll end up overwriting something important. That's probably the source of your seg fault.

A hard Brexit may already be in the price – here's what to buy if it is
Far from plummeting post-Brexit, markets could bounce sharply if the PM produces a workable deal. Merryn Somerset Webb picks four investment trusts to exploit that.
We've been telling you for a while now that UK companies are looking remarkably cheap relative to the rest of the developed world. Agreement comes from analysts Iain Scouller and Anthony Stern at Stifel.
They reckon that an awful lot of potential bad news is already being reflected in the price of company shares prices and possible even more interestingly in the discounts on UK focused investment trusts.
Over the last year the FTSE 100 has risen a mere 2.7%. Over the same period, the NIkkei has risen nearly 19% and the S&P 500 by 16.5%. MoneyWeek readers should have done just fine (anyone who isn't in Japan hasn't been listening!). But the result of its remarkably feeble performance is that the UK is looking remarkably cheap.
The FTSE All Share Index is on a price/earnings ratio of only 12.9 times and the FTSE 100 offers a pretty good yield of 4% (in this context, note the hoopla around Goldman Sachs offering savers an interest rate of 1.5% via its new savings bank, Marcus). At the same time, the average UK Equity Income trust is currently trading on a discount to the net asset value (NAV) of the shares it holds in its portfolio of around 4%. Three years ago that number was zero.
But more bad news isn't a given. It is possible, as Alastair Mundy of Temple Bar points out, that a hard Brexit is almost fully discounted in UK share prices (ie, that they won't fall much or at all if there is no deal) and that it wouldn't be as bad for the UK overall as many think. The word Brexit is very emotive, says Mundy: replace it with "recession" and you might think prices are low enough already.
Finally, while the government doesn't exactly seem to be on top of Brexit, there's a huge amount of work being done behind the scenes (all those new civil servants at the Department for Exiting the EU are definitely not twiddling their thumbs). So it is entirely possible that Theresa May could produce a deal with the rest of the EU before the end of the year.
If she does, the market could bounce sharply (almost regardless of what that deal is). Those invested in investment trusts should then see not just the NAV of their investments rise (as share prices rise) but the discount to the NAV narrow as well. Win win.
What might you buy to take advantage of this? Stifel has positive ratings on the Edinburgh Investment Trust (LSE: EDIN) and Schroder Income Growth Fund (LSE: SCF) but for a portfolio more skewed to small and mid-cap funds (a rising post deal pound could hit earnings of some of the UK's larger firms) their "preferred" trusts are BlackRock Throgmorton Trust (LSE: THRG) and Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust (LSE: ASL).

SIGGRAPH 2015, Los Angeles, CA – Thinkbox Software showcased advancements to Deadline, its scalable high-volume compute management solution. Fast, flexible and compatible across platforms, Deadline enables studios to easily link any combination of local and cloud-based resources into one logical pipeline.
For ultimate scalability, Thinkbox is introducing on-demand metered licensing with Deadline 8, which will start beta soon. The feature will work with both local and cloud-based farms alongside existing permanent and temporary licenses. Usage is tracked per minute, and can be purchased and managed round-the-clock via Thinkbox's e-commerce portal. Additionally, the store will host on-demand per-minute licenses for select third party rendering options, including The Foundry's NUKE render, with more to come.
01 – Deadline is a hassle-free administration and compute management toolkit for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X based render farms.
"Anyone can build a workflow around Deadline; it enables studios to work the way they want, with the tools they want and be cloud-ready, if they choose. With our new store, users have even more flexibility to use every possible core at their disposal when they need it, whether local or in the cloud," shared Chris Bond, Founder, Thinkbox Software.
Currently, Deadline supports cloud rendering on Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and OpenStack, among others. Leading up to SIGGRAPH 2015, Thinkbox released Deadline Cloud Wizard for Google Cloud Platform and a beta version for Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2); the wizards automate the configuration of cloud-based render farms running Deadline into a one-time automated task completed in less than 30 minutes. Similarly, Deadline was made available on Microsoft Azure Marketplace for one-click access to the software.
Thinkbox also recently launched the beta for Deadline 7.2. New features includes new Quick Draft options to create movies from rendered images or perform file conversions without having to create template scripts. Integration with NIM Labs' NIM pipeline management tool enables the creation of NIM renders, and automates the uploading of thumbnails and movies to NIM when jobs complete. Enhanced support for SideFX Software's Houdini introduces Jigsaw region rendering, HServer interactive rendering, and HQueue simulation node slicing.

Al otro lado del túnel es una película española de género dramático estrenada el 25 de febrero de 1994, dirigida por Jaime de Armiñán y protagonizada en los papeles principales por Gonzalo Vega, Fernando Rey y Maribel Verdú.

La película participó en la sección oficial de largometrajes de la 44ª edición del Festival Internacional de Cine de Berlín, en la que resultó vencedora En el nombre del padre del director irlandés Jim Sheridan.

Sinopsis
Miguel y Aurelio son dos guionistas muy diferentes entre sí: el primero es el más mayor y tiene mal genio, mientras que el segundo es más joven y lleva una vida más sana. Pero los dos tienen en común su falta de inspiración para terminar el guion de una película romántica ambientada en el siglo XIX en Escocia. La productora les envía una temporada a un monasterio ubicado en un pequeño pueblo aragonés, en mitad del Pirineo, para ver si consiguen acabar el encargo. Allí los dos escritores conocerán a sus vecinos y, en especial, a la panadera del pueblo, una chica deslumbrante tanto física como mentalmente. Sin que ellos se den cuenta, Mariana se convertirá en la protagonista de la historia que están escribiendo.

In this competitive world, the fundamental strategy of any organization to stand at its best globally is only through utilizing the employee's talent. Hence it is important to consider an employee's satisfaction towards his/her job and provided incentives. Keeping the employees happy by providing enough incentives and benefits is an important element while retaining the best talent from the employees. Today, we are going to discuss about the Employee Benefits survey in detail without any delay.
Majority of organizations offer high wage to the job seekers instead of benefits which may be helpful and attractive to hire an employee at first. But as the time passes, no one can guarantee that the same employee would continue in the same company. Hence, it is very important to offer employee benefits which helps to retain the employees from the competitors. Employee benefits play vital role in stopping the employees attracting to higher wages offered by other organizations.
Employee benefits are otherwise known as fringe benefits or additional perks or prerequisites. Employee benefits are non-wage compensations offered to the employees in addition to their normal salaries or wages. Employee benefits may vary and differ from company to company. They are generally provided to a potential employee as competitive package in order to increase company's productivity utilizing his/her best talent.
An employee benefit is pretty valuable and means a lot to an employee. That is the reason, why all the companies target to offer competitive package in addition to their normal salaries to retain talent from the potential employees.
Conducting a survey on employee benefits in your organization helps to identify your employee's level of satisfaction towards current benefits. Our employee benefits survey template is helpful for any company looking to conduct a survey on how satisfied their employee's on employee benefits. Let us have a look!!
According to the recent research conducted by Glassdoor states that half of the employees are saying employee benefits are one of their top considerations while accepting a job. Few say that they would expect and prefer additional perks on rise of pay.
Offering good benefits package in addition to the normal wages is one way to keep the great and potential employees on board. This is the fundamental strategy followed by almost all the companies in this competitive business market.
Many people running small business do not prefer offering employee benefits as they think they cannot afford. But many researches would say, this is the wrong perception if they are really willing to stand out in this global competitive business market. Because this kind of strategy may work out for a short-run but for long-term prosperity, penny-wise philosophy or strategy would work out well.
Many researchers report that when the employees are satisfied with their current benefits and perks, then they are more productive.
Employee benefits when designed and implemented properly, it is very helpful and useful for any company to support employees to improve company's productivity.
They give moral support through the company to the employees and make them feel they are individually valued in the company's progress.
Employees are more effective as they are financially secured for themselves and their families as well. Hence, employee benefits are proven to improve company's productivity.
Employee benefits keeps employees self-motivated and encouraged when satisfied with the benefits they are provided with.
The main purpose to give employee benefits is to improve worker retention across the organization and also to increase the economic security of the staff members.
Almost all the companies stand same while providing normal wages to their employees. But when it comes to employee benefits each company may differ to attract the best and potential employees by providing them a significant list of employee benefits. It may sound expensive for employers but the result sounds good in long run. The impact of employee benefits on company's future success would also motivate employer to provide enough satisfying benefits package.
The following are the types of employee benefits. In general, there are two types of employee benefits.
The employee benefits are highly regulated by federal law. The following are the most important benefits or non-wage compensations to provide by the state or federal law.
These are the benefits provided by the companies in addition to the employee benefits provided by law. Generally, employers are not required to offer these benefits but they provide as they feel social responsibility towards their employees and also to retain employees while improving the company's productivity. These benefits may differ from company to company since they are designed and managed under a labor agreement policy. Let us have a look at few of them.
It is worth to give some useful conclusion to employee benefits since they are quite valuable and important to both employer and employee of the company.
Offering employee benefits may be bit expensive in the beginning for short-term but the impact of employee benefits would overweigh those costly expenses and finally contributes to the company's overall success. Employee benefits also provide stable workplace and help you stand as an industry leader in the competitive business atmosphere.
An employee who is seeking for a good job or already employed must check whether they are provided with enough and best employee benefits that satisfies their needs. It is also important in the same way to take full advantage of the company's incentives and perks.


Like many others in town, we are saddened and a bit scared by the potential demise of Explore Booksellers. Few, if any, businesses in town are so filled with character, and few have become as much a part of Aspen's identity.For a variety of reasons, however, we can't help feeling a little uncomfortable with the idea of the city of Aspen "rescuing" Explore. As some have said in recent letters to the editor, the very idea of a local government purchasing private businesses, at least under normal circumstances, is questionable. But these are not normal circumstances. As others have noted, a small, independently owned bookstore has virtually no place in Aspen's white-hot real estate market and will likely disappear without some kind of community-oriented intervention.Fortunately, an effort is under way to retain the property as a bookstore. Former Aspen Mayor Bill Stirling, husband of the late Katharine Thalberg, who founded and ran Explore, is trying to assemble a group of private investors to pony up the $5.2 million and buy the store from Thalberg's daughters.Stirling has approached the City Council for help, in the form of a short-term loan to close the sale while he rounds up investors. Though Mayor Helen Klanderud opposed the idea, other council members were more receptive. But even they wondered why Stirling was in such a hurry, and they had legitimate questions for him: Isn't that a lot of money for a bookstore? Who are the other investors? Will the family give Stirling and his collaborators any kind of priority, or at least a certain amount of time to put together a formal offer?There are a disturbing number of unknowns and, potentially, a lot of public money at stake here.The Aspen Times has contacted Thalberg's daughter, Brooke Anderson, who has managed the store since her mother's death, to ask about the family's views of the situation. But she has been unwilling to say much beyond the fact that the family can no longer run the bookstore. Fair enough.But if this community, or the city of Aspen, is to step up and invest in Explore Booksellers, then it seems appropriate for the family to let the community know if it has a fighting chance.Will the family give Stirling time to get his offer together? Will a $5 million offer that keeps Thalberg's bookstore alive have any prayer against a larger offer from a real estate developer? What if anything would the family be willing to do to preserve the bookstore? Or does the family, for its own reasons, plan to simply sell to the highest bidder?We'd like to know, and we surmise a few others would too.

Although most clients will be extremely well served through phone, email and skype, if necessary, in additon to our main office in Manhattan, Mr. David E. Yurkofsky has office satelite locations to meet clients in person in Los Angeles, Miami, London Paris and Geneva.
We are proud of our outstanding approval record and customer satisfaction for every temporary working visa category as well as both employment and family based U.S. permanent residence (aka "green cards") & U.S. Citizenship, including: H1-b, O-1, L-1, E-3, E-2, E-1 & J-1 & Eb-1, EB-2 and EB-3. Our office focuses exclusively on immigration issues in the USA representing individuals and organizations in all 50 states for Green Cards, Visas and U.S. Citizenship. Using Internet sources available only to a select group of immigration attorneys world-wide, our office keeps abreast of the latest changes in law and procedure on a daily basis.
Please Note: Preparing non-immigrant and immigrant visa applications requires extensive documentation. Preparing an O-1 visa or EB-1 application requires a tremendous amount of work and commitment on our part as well as on the part of our clients. Our office will often devote 5 to 10 times the amount of time and energy for an O-1 visa or Eb-1 application as compared to other visa categories.
On occasion, although our office will not "shy away" from a difficult case, we may advise our clients that they are not yet ready for the O-1 visa, Eb-1 green card (or other requested visa status). In this event, we will suggest other visa options ----- if relevant ----- until perhaps they have built enough "credentials" (evidence) to obtain their ideal visa category. In addition, just because a client has an O-1 visa--doesn't mean they are "extraordinary enough" to obtain a green card based on extraordinary ability (EB-1) ---as EB-1 requires an even higher standard of evidence than O-1. We will first conduct a detailed analysis and hold a discussion with our client to see if their talents and expertise rise to the level required to file a winning Eb-1 application. If not, we will examine other options for obtaining U.S. permanent residence or extensions of non-immigrant visa status.

Q: Is it possible to put numbers on top of a matplot histogram? import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

randomnums = np.random.normal(loc=9,scale=6, size=400).astype(int)+15

Output:
array([25, 22, 19, 26, 24,  9, 19, 32, 30, 25, 29, 17, 21, 14, 17, 27, 27,
       28, 17, 17, 20, 21, 16, 28, 20, 24, 15, 20, 20, 13, 33, 21, 30, 27,
        8, 22, 24, 25, 23, 13, 24, 20, 16, 32, 15, 26, 34, 16, 21, 21, 28,
       22, 23, 18, 20, 22, 23, 22, 23, 26, 22, 25, 19, 29, 14, 27, 21, 23,
       24, 19, 25, 15, 22, 23, 19, 19, 23, 21, 22, 17, 25, 15, 24, 25, 23 ...

h = sorted(randomnums)
plt.hist(h,density=False)
plt.show()

Output:

From my research I found only how to plot numbers on top of a bar chart, but what I want is to plot on top of a histogram chart. Is it possible?

A: An adapted version of the answer I linked in the comments of the question. Thanks a lot for the suggestions in the comments below this post!
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

h = np.random.normal(loc=9,scale=6, size=400).astype(int)+15

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 10))
ax.hist(h, density=False)

for rect in ax.patches:
    height = rect.get_height()
    ax.annotate(f'{int(height)}', xy=(rect.get_x()+rect.get_width()/2, height),
                xytext=(0, 5), textcoords='offset points', ha='center', va='bottom')

...gives e.g.

Why should my chiropractor be a CCEP?
Is a computer like a human brain or is a human brain like a computer? When machines allow us to extend our abilities, are we enhancing our humanness or becoming more machine-like? What are the meaningful distinctions between humans and machines and how do these impact our daily pursuits of health, well-being, and happiness?
One primary practical distinction is that humans initiate spontaneous, unique, non-predetermined actions and machines do not. Advanced machines such as military early warning systems may initiate spontaneous activities, but all of these are predetermined and predefined to a greater or lesser degree. And for any machine responses that are not previously designated and programmed as routine, human interaction is required for initiation of the suggested action.
Generally, even the "smartest" machine only has access to a built-in suite of responses. Noted exceptions include computer programs based on simple rules which emulate living systems. The "cellular automata" generated by these programs demonstrate spontaneous emergent behaviors not predictable from the simple rules themselves. The "artificial life" thus observed is exceedingly complex and can even provide optimal solutions to deep scientific problems posed to the system by investigators.
Cellular automata are examples of complex systems, defined as systems which are critically sensitive to small changes in initial conditions. Complex systems achieved fame in Michael Crichton's novel (and the subsequent Stephen Spielberg film), "Jurassic Park". In the book, the paleobotanist Dr. Ian Malcolm uses the weather as an example of the nature of complex systems. In a scene which has achieved iconic status, Malcolm relates how a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rain forest can cause a tornado in the American Midwest. Small changes in a complex system's initial state can lead to substantial unpredictable results in the system as a whole.
The human nervous system is such a complex, dynamic system.1,2,3 Small changes in the nervous system's initial state can result in dramatic outcomes. For example, a spinal misalignment (resulting from an innocuous low back muscle strain) can irritate a spinal nerve (a small change in initial conditions) which can lead to chronic indigestion, allergies, migraine headaches, or even high blood pressure down the road.
Most machines are not complex in this way, but they do require regular maintenance and care. As human beings, we are complex systems by our very nature and the importance of regular maintenance and care is that much greater. A healthy spine and optimally functioning nerve system go very far toward ensuring the health of our body-as-machine and our associated happiness and well-being.
