Q: D3.js update graph when pushing new nodes I am trying to add new nodes to a D3 graph dynamically by nodes.push({"id": item, "group": 1, "size": 30}); but when I do this there is a visual bug where there are duplicates. Anytime I update() I get a double of whatever was already there. Anyone have any advice? Would be appreciated.
    var node;
    var link;
    var circles
    var lables;

    function update(){
        node = svg.append("g")
            .attr("class", "nodes")
            .selectAll("g")
            .data(nodes)
            .enter().append("g")

        link = svg.append("g")
            .attr("class", "links")
            .selectAll("line")
            .data(links)
            .enter().append("line")
            .attr("stroke-width", function(d) { return Math.sqrt(d.value); });

        circles = node.append("circle")
            .attr("r", function(d) { return (d.size / 10) + 1})
            .attr("fill", function(d) { return color(3); })
            .call(d3.drag()
                .on("start", dragstarted)
                .on("drag", dragged)
                .on("end", dragended))
                .on("click", clicked);

        lables = node.append("text")
            .text(function(d) {
                return d.id;
            })
            .attr('x', 6)
            .attr('y', 3)
            .style("font-size", "20px");

        node.append("title")
            .text(function(d) { return d.id; });

        simulation
            .nodes(nodes)
            .on("tick", ticked);

        simulation.force("link")
            .links(links);
    }

    function ticked() {
        link
            .attr("x1", function(d) { return d.source.x; })
            .attr("y1", function(d) { return d.source.y; })
            .attr("x2", function(d) { return d.target.x; })
            .attr("y2", function(d) { return d.target.y; });

        node
            .attr("transform", function(d) {
                return "translate(" + d.x + "," + d.y + ")";
            })
    }

A: Looking just at the nodes (the links are essentially the same issue), every time you update your data you:

*

*Create a new parent g (svg.append("g"))

*Select all the child g elements of that new parent g (.selectAll("g")). Since this new parent g has no children - you just made it, nothing is selected.

*Bind data to the selection (.data(nodes))

*Using the enter selection, append a g for each item in the data array (as there are no elements in the selection, everything is entered (the enter selection creates an element in the DOM for every item in the data array for which no corresponding element exists in the selection.)

*Append a circle to each newly appended g. (.enter().append("g"))

Nowhere do you select the already existing nodes - these are just cast aside. They are ignored by the tick function because link and node refer to selections of newly created nodes and links. Neither do you remove the old links and nodes - so they just sit there for all eternity or until you close the browser.
The canonical solution is to:

*

*Append structural elements once. I say structural in reference to the parent g elements: they aren't data dependent, they're organizational. They should be appended once outside of the update function.

*Use the update function to manage (create, update, remove) elements that are dependent on the data: the nodes and links themselves. Anything that depends on the data needs to be modified in the update function, nothing else.
So we could append the parent g elements outside of the update function:
var nodeG = svg.append("g").attr("class", "nodes");
var linkG = svg.append("g").attr("class", "links");

Then in the update function we can use those selections to conduct the enter/update/exit cycle. This is slightly complicated in your case, and many others, because we have nodes represented by a g with child elements. Something like the following:
function update() {

    var node = nodeG.selectAll("g")
       .data(nodes)

    // remove excess nodes.
    node.exit().remove();

    // enter new nodes as required:
    var nodeEnter = node.enter().append("g")
      .attr(...

    // append  circles to new nodes:
    nodeEnter.append("circle")
      .attr(...

    // merge update and enter.
    node = nodeEnter.merge(node);

   // do enter/update/exit with lines.
    var link = linkG.selectAll("line")
       .attr(...

   link.exit().remove();

    var linkEnter = link.enter().append("line")
      .attr(...

    link = linkEnter.merge(link);

   ...

Which in your case may look like:

// Random data:
let graph = { nodes: [], links : [] }

function randomizeData(graph) {
  // generate nodes:
  let n = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 6;

  let newNodes = [];
  for(let i = 0; i < n; i++)  {
    if (graph.nodes[i]) newNodes.push(graph.nodes[i]);
    else newNodes.push({ id: i,
                        color: Math.floor(Math.random()*10),
                        size: Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 2),
                        x: (Math.random() * width),
                        y: (Math.random() * height)
                      })
  }
  // generate links
  let newLinks = [];
  let m = Math.floor(Math.random() * n) + 1;
  for(let i = 0; i < m; i++) {
    a = 0; b = 0;
    while (a == b) {
     a = Math.floor(Math.random() * n);
     b = Math.floor(Math.random() * n);
    }
    newLinks.push({source: a, target: b})
    if(i < newNodes.length - 2) newLinks.push({source: i, target: i+1})
  }
  return { nodes: newNodes, links: newLinks }
}

Note
I've updated the force paramaters a bit to use forceX and forceY: forces which attract the nodes to the center. The centering force only ensures the center of gravity is a specific value, not how close the nodes must be.
Alternative approaches:
Of course, you could just remove everything and append it each time: but this limits ability to transition from one dataset to the next and is generally not canonical.
If you only need to enter elements once (no elements need to be added or removed during updates) then you could avoid using the full enter/update/exit cycle and append once outside the update function, updating node/link attributes with new data on update rather than using the more involved enter/update/exit cycle in the snippet above.

Call for campus extremism watch
Ruth Kelly said "moderate majority" must be protected
The UK government is encouraging university chiefs to watch out for extremists on campuses and report suspicious people to the authorities.
Education Secretary Ruth Kelly said they should protect free thinking but inform police of "unacceptable behaviour" by students or staff.
As she spoke Home Secretary Charles Clarke was giving details of proposed measures against glorifying terrorism.
There has been concern that ministers are seeking to "criminalise thought".
Ms Kelly was addressing the annual conference of Universities UK at their headquarters in Tavistock Square, London - where a bomb tore apart a double-decker bus on 7 July.
She told the vice-chancellors the "moderate majority" must be protected from harassment, intimidation or pressure and be free to study.
Higher education institutions must continue to "teach people to think for themselves and express themselves and to listen to and consider the opinions of others".
But they must also identify and confront unacceptable behaviour.
"They should be alert and be unafraid to set their own boundaries - within the law and with the law in support - in consultation with their own community and the wider community.
"That means informing the police where criminal offences are being perpetrated or where there may be concerns about possible criminal acts," she said.
'Good relations'
When Mr Clarke outlined the plans last month, the Islamic Human Rights Commission issued a statement saying it viewed his proposed grounds for deportation as "the criminalisation of thought, conscience and belief".
Universities UK said after Ms Kelly's speech that it was updating its guidelines on extremism and intolerance to look at "the range of hate crimes and intolerance on campus".
It would provide focus on solutions to promote good relations, and guidance on dealing with situations that could impede those.
Lecturers' union Natfhe issued a statement saying it would closely examine any government proposals.
"Academics want to see campuses buzzing with discussion, debate and healthy political life, not stifled by fear," it said.
"There are real differences between illegal activities which should be tackled through law enforcement, breaches of university disciplinary procedures regarding racism, anti-Semitism or homophobia for which procedures already exist - and stopping 'unacceptable behaviour' which is a phrase entirely vague and open to abuse."
In her speech, Ms Kelly also set out a vision of 21st Century universities as having around them a complex of hi-tech companies and venture capitalists, feeding off their research.
Earlier this week, figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) suggested UK higher education had been falling behind leading industrialised competitors in funding increases and student numbers.
Ms Kelly did not mention that report, but said the government's target of 50% of young people experiencing higher education by 2010 - which is below the existing OECD average - might be too low.
She said the government respected universities' autonomy, but would continue to look at whether their provision of courses "seems out of step with the national need".
She expected to say more this autumn about part-time students after making "some difficult judgements".
But she said "some price rises for some students, or some courses, might be possible without adverse effects".

Q: How to find averages of specific elements in a large text file I'm trying to achieve what the instructions below in the expected output section states. The text file contains 5 floating point numbers per line, with the last one being of no use since it just classifies whether the previous numbers mean it's a real or fake bill (0 being fake, 1 being real). I want to create a loop that can take the first number of each row (there are 600+ rows) and find the average, same with the second number of each row, third, and fourth. The output should be a list that shows each average [avg1 avg2 avg3 avg4]. The code below can successfully do this, but only one at a time. Eg. in this line sum += float(line.split()[0]), changing 0 to 1 will give the average of the second number in each row and so on. How do I create an efficient loop that can give me all the averages at once?
I've already tried copying the loop and pasting it 4 times for each "column" of numbers but its inefficient and doesn't work.

 building_classifier()

Each data sample has 4 attributes (excluding the last one that indicates the classification of the sample).   So, the data looks something like this:
  [ [2, 4, 6, 8, 0],
    [4, 6, 8, 10,  0],
    [1, 3, 5, 7, 1]
    [3, 5, 7, 9,  1]]

To build the classifier you will use the data in "training.txt":
Calculate the average of each of the attributes across all the samples with the same classification (0 or 1).  For the data shown above, the averages for each attribute across the counterfeit samples (0) are [3, 5, 7, 9]  and for those that are real (1) the averages are [2, 4, 6, 8].
Find the midpoints between the averages for the 2 groups by adding the average of the counterfeit and the average of the real samples and divide the result by two.  This will be done for each of the attributes.  So, for the data shown, the midpoints would be [2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5 ].  The midpoints are what we will use as our classifier.

A: I didn't quite understand your question, but I can answer this part of it.
"Calculate the average of each of the attributes across all the samples with the same classification"
I would create a dataframe from the file using pandas and then add column headers:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('input_file.txt', sep=" ", header=None)
data.columns = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

Then I would use pandas groupby and aggregate methods for each column:
aggregate = df.groupby(['e'])
a_column_mean = aggregate.agg({'a': 'mean'})
b_column_mean = aggregate.agg({'b': 'mean'})
c_column_mean = aggregate.agg({'c': 'mean'})
d_column_mean = aggregate.agg({'d': 'mean'})

A: You don't need installed libraries like pandas, although they do have easy to use functions to calculate averages for tables.
Your code calculates a single sum and counts the lines and then calculates a single average from that. You want to calculate all four averages in the same loop. You could do this even more easily by reading the entire file in one go, but I'll stick with your approach, since it would matter for exceedingly large files:
with open('training2.txt') as fh:
    n = 4  # number of fields we're interested in
    sums = [0] * n  # initialize here, outside the loop
    count = 0  # and a line counter
    for line in fh:
        count += 1  # increment the counter
        fields = line.split()  # split the line outside the loop, only once
        for i in range(n):
            sums[i] += float(fields[i])  # add here, not in a nested loop

    averages = [s / count for s in sums]  # not using the name sum, as it is a built-in

    print(averages)

This is assuming your code works and your text file actually has the values separated by spaces, otherwise you'd need something like .split(',')


I find that one of the disadvantages of being a crafter is that Christmas comes around a lot earlier than it does for many other folk. We have only just put our heating on, I'm still wearing my Spring/Autumn light coat, and I haven't even thought about Halloween or Bonfire night yet......but today I started making Christmas decorations....yes, I know, I hate it too!
I have a stall booked at a Christmas craft fair for the beginning of December so I thought that I had better actually make some Christmassy things for it. As I have been having problems with my wrists I have to make small, quick things, in order to actually have enough stock for the stall. I thought that decorations would be the best thing.
So, after a bit of time hooking something bizarre up, un-ravelling, hooking something else bizarre up I came up with a pattern that actually reassembled what I was hoping to achieve- a Christmas tree!
I have made six so far. What do you think?
Heading over to Handmade Harbour to share in Handmade Monday for the first time. I can't wait to see what everyone makes.
Love your little Christmas trees. Would look very pretty hanging on a tree as an ornament or strung as a garland. Great ideas!
Hi, thank you! A garland would be a great idea actually, thanks for the suggestion!
They are lovely. Well done you. I agree that they would look lovely hung on a tree or as a festive garland.
Beautiful trees, I love them.
What do I think? I think they are lovely. What a cute design. I'm sure they will be a favorite at the Christmas fair.
Fabulous! They will look great with a few sequins, and hung up individually or on a garland.
They are really lovely, I'm sure with some sequins on they'd look great either hanging from a tree or on garlands too.
Thanks Lucy, can't wait to have a play with sequins and the glue gun!

Here is one that I've been using since day 1: it's simply setting specific eating times for your meals and sticking to it. It takes all the guessing work out of when you should eat, makes your life much more organised and your body will thrive on the consistancy because it will know exactly when it's getting food.
When the voice and the vision on the inside is more profound, clear and loud than the opinions on the outside, you have mastered your destiny.
Good idea on a topic mate - i will sticky this.
Those who have always yielded to temptation will never know the feeling of standing up to it and the satisfaction of resisting.


State capital is Des Moines.
Iowa gets its name from the French word that was used to describe the region's Bah-kho-je Indian tribe.
The Calamity Jayne series by Kathleen Bacus is mostly set in Iowa. Not sure if they exactly qualify as cozies, though.
Donald Harstad wrote a series about a deputy sheriff (Carl Houseman) in Iowa that was outstanding — excellent. I don't know what's become of Mr. Harstad but he hasn't brought out any new books for several years, much to my profound disappointment. He's one of the best mystery writers I've read.
Thanks, Donna, for telling us about Donald Harstad!
Does anyone know of a bed & breakfast mystery series set in the state of Iowa? A patron knows we have this series but cannot remember the author, or of the title of one of the books or the series' name. I've been searching through the Internet but the most I've come up with are lists of bed & breakfast lodging in Iowa.
I'm counting on someone to help me with this investigation.
Thank you for your help. If anyone should have a sudden recall just let me know. Like most librarians I haven't given up!!!!
Do you know of a mystery set in northwest Iowa?
Angie, I think the Calamity Jayne series by Kathleen Bacus takes place in the northwest part of Iowa.

Synchrony Employee Story: Meet Giselle Velazquez, Specialist, Bilingual Translator - Resolution Services
Below is an article originally written by PowerToFly Partner Synchrony. Go to Synchrony's page on PowerToFly to see their open positions and learn more.
LGBTQ Employees Have a Home at Synchrony
Every workplace should strive to support their LGBTQ staff. Not nearly enough do.
A year ago, Synchrony employee Giselle learned that the company would be releasing the second edition of its Transgender Reference Guide, designed to help managers and Human Resources staff better serve their transgender colleagues. Giselle immediately volunteered to help with its production.
"As soon as I heard about this project I raised my hand to share my story," Giselle says.
Giselle was born outside the United States. She came here years ago to both pursue a career and live her life freely as a [trans] woman. Her journey took incredible strength and courage, and she wasn't always met with open arms. Prior to joining Synchrony, Giselle didn't always feel welcome at work and sometimes struggled to receive equal treatment.
Synchrony was different. Here, Giselle says, she was treated like any other Synchrony employee. Her coworkers made her feel at home. It wasn't long before Giselle sprung into action, joining the company's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender+ Network and becoming one of its most active members. One of the Giselle's proudest accomplishments is the professional relationship she built with one 'n' ten, a nonprofit organization serving LGBTQ youth in the Phoenix area. One 'n' ten promotes self‐expression, self‐acceptance, and leadership development — values Giselle has always held close to her heart.
She wanted to build a bridge.
"Throughout my life, there has been someone to lend me a hand, so I always try to give back," Giselle explains.
The support Giselle received at Synchrony made it easier for her to grow professionally. Giselle started as a bilingual Customer Service Representative in 2013, before being offered a role in the Translations department in 2015. In 2017, Giselle was named Empowerment Ambassador for Phoenix. At the company's Annual Diversity Symposium that year, Giselle was awarded the LGBT+ Network Diversity Leadership award. Just recently, the second edition Transgender Reference Guide Giselle worked on for Synchrony was published.
Of course, Giselle has done more than advocate for the LGBTQ community at work. Professionally, Giselle is working forward to becoming a manager or project manager at Synchrony. She's found a community where she feels accepted – and now she wants to make that community even larger, and more embracing.
"I couldn't be happier to be at Synchrony," she said. "By sharing my story, if I can change at least one person's mindset and perception about transgender people, I will be very happy knowing I have accomplished my goal."

Friends to hold food drive at tomorrow's Dons match
by Jodie Molyneux
08/11/2018, 3:06 pm Updated: 08/11/2018, 3:17 pm
Two men are to host a food drive at tomorrow's Dons match.
Friends and colleagues Danny Conlon and Kenny McKenna decided to take action after hearing that many people in Aberdeen are often turned away from food banks due to high demand.
The pair will hold donation points in the vicinity of Pittodrie during the Dons match against Hibernian tomorrow, including King's Community Church and outside of Aberdeen Sports Village.
A JustGiving page was also set up for the cause, and has so far raised £970.
Danny said: "I was shocked to hear about the crisis in the north-east with regards to the 20+ food banks we have struggling to help the people in need.
"It alarmed me that some food banks could turn away up to 100 people a week from receiving any food at all or just having to prioritise who gets what and when.
"I'm hoping that I, along with a fair few others, can make a difference to this situation.
"We will continue to help throughout the month of November and hopefully be able to help all of the food banks in the north-east in some way."

Prizewinning Videos Show It's a Small World After All
Those breathtaking moments — and many more — are spectacularly displayed in video clips that were recently honored by the Nikon Small World in Motion Digital Video Competition, an annual contest that celebrates movies and time-lapse sequences shot through an optical-light microscope.
This year's top prize went to Daniel von Wangenheim, a researcher with the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, Nikon announced on Sept. 21 in a statement. He garnered first place for a time-lapse video shot over 17 hours, displaying a root tip's growth of about 0.2 inches (4 millimeters) in a flowering plant called Arabidopsis thaliana. [Magnificent Microphotography: 50 Tiny Wonders]
The contest launched in 2011 as a companion to the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, and it awards microscopy video content for its artistry, its technical proficiency and the quality of the information it shares about the natural world, according to Nikon.
Von Wangenheim and his colleagues shot their video of the growing root as part of their research investigating plants' responses to gravity. They tipped the microscope on its side and rotated the plant on a platform, yet their footage showed that the root always angled downward, yielding to gravity's pull as it grew, Nikon representatives reported.

The second-place winner, video producer Tsutomu Tomita, took a closer look at droplets of perspiration emerging from a magnified human fingertip. And the third-place winner — Satoshi Nishimura, a professor at Jichi Medical University in Shimotsuke, Japan — revealed the burst of activity in the cells of a mouse's body after an injury, showing the first stages of how bodies heal themselves, with the formation of a blood clot.

Nikon announced five prizewinners and 23 honorable mentions. The submissions were as diverse as they were arresting, showing a pinworm parasite depositing its eggs, electrical signals traveling between nerve cells and crystal formation in medicine used for wart removal.

But all this footage isn't just beautiful to look at. It also offers rare glimpses into scientific investigations exploring life's processes — even at the cellular level — and hints at the exciting discoveries scientists can make when they peer through a microscope's lens.
"I like to show people the beauty of our research, and this competition is a great platform to give insight into what we and other scientists are doing," von Wangenheim said in the statement.
"Sharing this insight beyond the scientific community is very important and can also help inspire young people to explore science," he added.

Judgment on Quora
Case 50-2019: Quora & Adam D'Angelo
Dear Prosecutor, Public Defender, Ambassador and Jury Members of the International Buddhist Ethics Committee (IBEC) and Buddhist Tribunal on Human Rights (BTHR), regarding Case 50-2019 against "Quora & CEO Adam D'Angelo", on June 9, 2019, it is hereby recorded that the trial has been concluded to analyze the violation of Human Rights and Buddhist Ethics made by the accused. This Case has been carried out as a consequence of the Deepak Rao Case.
After analyzing the presentation of the Case and the validation of the evidence, the Buddhist Committee proceeded with the voting of 5 members of the Jury, confirming that there were 5 votes considering "Quora & CEO Adam D'Angelo" as "Responsible" for the serious crimes of Defamation, Discrimination, Hate Speech and Violation of Human Rights, all of which has happened in the context of an Attack against the Rights of Buddhist Peoples.
The International Buddhist Ethics Committee has been able to prove that "Quora & CEO Adam D'Angelo" have committed crimes against the International Buddhist Sangha. In the first place, "Quora & CEO Adam D'Angelo" has spread insults, defamations and discrimination against Buddhism, all of which constitutes Hate Speech in the eyes of International Law. Indeed, the Quora team has refused to remove the cyber attacks carried out by Deepak Rao's paramilitary group of India. This same kind of complicity both with cyberattacks as well as hate speech is being investigated by international justice regarding the Facebook Case, which shows that social network companies are real breeding grounds for human rights violations when there is freedom of expression without any kind of ethical supervision. In fact, Facebook Company itself has acknowledged that its lack of supervision over Hate Speech made by Myanmar has contributed to the genocide against the Rohingya People. This shows that Hate Speech does not constitute a minor crime, and that it must be totally prohibited and combated, as established by UNESCO with regard to freedom of expression in favor of war and violence.
Secondly, while these kind of social networking companies believe they are protected by a legal framework, the Buddhist Law establishes that "Quora & CEO Adam D'Angelo" are actually totally outside the law, disseminating Hate Speech against the Buddhist People. This kind of ethical and legal conclusion made by the Buddhist Law is based on the legal analysis of the Backpage Case, which was a powerful company in the United States with a website for publication of classified advertisements and services of all kinds, including a section with prostitution services. Yet the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children clearly stated that Backpage did not report all cases of sexual exploitation of minors that were advertised on its website, but even encouraged the dissemination of this crime, in addition that it did not remove these illegal contents, including when parents of abducted and sexually abused girls made complaints. Backpage stated that it was fighting against human trafficking, and organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation constantly defended Backpage and its controversial "freedom of expression". For more than a decade, Backpage avoided multiple legal demands in which they were accused of promoting human trafficking, especially the sexual trafficking of minors, since different judges from the United States of America did not support the demands of the victims who were exploited and sold by means of this web page,[1] as is the case of Justice Michael Bowman, even though some victims were not only abused but also killed. This lack of solidarity toward the various victims of sex trafficking was due to the fact that Backpage claimed to be protected under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996, which establishes that providers of an interactive computer service shall not be treated as publishers or speakers of any information from another source, which implies that these companies would be only conduits for the speech of others. Therefore, technology companies believe that this mere section provides them full immunity to publish anything on the Internet, always using the excuse that they are not the authors of the content. However, if the content is criminal, as is the case of human rights violations, then companies should not only not to disseminate these contents, but should even combat them, not being protected under the right to freedom of expression, since a crime does not constitute a valid or legitimate expression and would not be found within the range protected by this human right. In this sense, after years of struggle against impunity, the victims managed to get Carl Ferrer, the CEO of Backpage, arrested, who later declared himself responsible for money laundering and facilitation of prostitution. Thus, in April 2018, the Backpage website was finally closed by the FBI and the US Department of Justice. While the company initially stated that the actions of justice were an unconstitutional government censorship, the company was later found guilty of activities related to human trafficking, thus demonstrating the fundamental invalidity of quoting section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) for the purpose of obtaining immunity for the dissemination of criminal practices. In fact, in 2018 the US Congress has approved a package of laws, the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) and Allow States and Victims to fight online sex trafficking Act (FOSTA), which explicitly states that section 230 does not prohibit prosecution for international crimes such as sex trafficking or exploitation of minors to technological companies that provide computer services where users are the ones who commit the crimes. Obviously, this same logic used in the Backpage Case can be used in the Quora Case, stating that these companies are legally responsible and accomplices when they unscrupulously propagate the criminal activities of their users, as is the case of terrorist activities. Even, the Buddhist Law recalls that the companies already were legally responsible by the criminal activities of their users, which arises as a result of Fair Housing Council of San Fernando Valley v. Roommates.com LLC, where it was ruled that section 230 does not apply if an online service is involved in creating contents that violate Civil Law.
In conclusion, the International Buddhist Ethics Committee has the Purpose (Dharma) to protect the Buddhist cultural heritage of Great Master Gautama, developing ethics that meets at all times with the supreme Human Right to adequate freedom of expression. The Purpose (Dharma) of the Maitriyana movement is to protect the international Spiritual Community, ethically judging and sentencing those who commit international crimes against the Buddhist People. Following Master Gautama, who developed the most just and righteous International Community in the history of the world, the International Buddhist Ethics Committe supervises that the companies do not attempt against the ethics, the human rights and the Buddhist teachings, never attacking the Spiritual Communities (Sanghas), for which "Quora & CEO Adam D'Angelo" has been sentenced as Responsible for Defamation, Discrimination, Hate Speech, Violation of Human Rights and Attack on the Rights of Buddhist Peoples. For this reason, Quora is declared a criminal company, recommending the 500 million Buddhists around the world never to read this website promoting criminal, defamatory and discriminatory content.

Q: Postgres 9.0.4 : Error calling function which returns a ROWTYPE from within another function I am experiencing unexpected behaviour on Postgres 9.0.4 using pl/pgsql relating to selecting from a function that returns a ROWTYPE into a ROWTYPE variable from within another function.
In the example below I:

*

*Create a table, TESTTABLE and insert a row.

*Create a function FN_TEST_GET_ROW that returns a row of ROWTYPE TESTTABLE based on selection of a single row from TESTTABLE

*Create a test harness in the form of a function TESTX that calls FN_TEST_GET_ROW with ID=1

*Call the test harness

The error shown below is returned unexpectedly
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: "(1,Fred)"
I would just expect the values (1, Fred) to be returned which is what happens if I execute
SELECT fn_test_get_row(1);

directly.
Create table:
CREATE TABLE testtable
(
id INTEGER,
name VARCHAR(10)
);

Add Data:
INSERT INTO testtable (id, name) VALUES (1, 'Fred');

Create function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_test_get_row(a INTEGER)
RETURNS testtable AS $$
DECLARE
i_row testtable;
BEGIN

SELECT *
INTO   i_row
FROM testtable
WHERE id = a;

-- Success
RETURN i_row;

END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Create test function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testx()
RETURNS testtable AS $$
DECLARE
i_row testtable;
BEGIN

SELECT fn_test_get_row(1)
INTO   i_row;

-- Success
RETURN i_row;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Execute the test function:
select testx();

Error returned:
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: "(1,Fred)"
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "testx" line 8 at SQL statement

********** Error **********

ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "(1,Fred)"
SQL state: 22P02
Context: PL/pgSQL function "testx" line 8 at SQL statement

A: I've not seen the RETURNS tablename syntax before. I'd personally use RETURNS RECORD or RETURNS SETOF. Here are the fixed functions for you. What I did was change the testx function to treat fn_test_get_row() as a table, and change the result type of fn_test_get_row() to a set.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_test_get_row(a INTEGER)
RETURNS SETOF testtable AS $$
DECLARE
    i_row testtable%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
    SELECT INTO i_row * FROM testtable WHERE id = a;
    RETURN NEXT i_row;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testx()
RETURNS SETOF testtable AS $$
DECLARE
    i_row testtable%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
    SELECT INTO i_row * FROM fn_test_get_row(1) AS foo;
    RETURN NEXT i_row;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Which gives:
# select testx();
  testx
----------
 (1,Fred)
(1 row)

A: What also seems to work is to change the select in testx to the following:
SELECT (fn_test_get_row(1)).*
INTO   i_row;

The error message makes sense if you consider that with out the parenthesis and star you are selecting one column of your record type. Postgres then tries to convert this column to the first column type of your result, leading to the error message you gave.

Defining the formal semantics of SystemC is an important and mandatory step towards enabling the formal verification of SystemC. In this technical report, we present a sound and complete semantics of the main parts of SystemC in fixpoint. Such a semantics are a precise and non ambiguous definitions of the SystemC library. They are very useful to guarantee a unique implementation of the library and interpretation of its behaviour. Besides, they can used in conducting formal proofs for sound abstractions or even to construct syntactical transformers to other languages.

Men have completely different calls for and expectations from their companions; nonetheless, plenty of single guys share widespread thoughts. Namely, they think that a bride ought to be tender, delicate, and caring. Their culture, which has been developed for centuries, tells that a lady should serve her husband with love and a spotlight.
Conventional Chinese Marriage Ceremony Dresses
Thus, the women are real leaders out of brides of different nationalities in love and care given to husbands. Before the ceremony, it's traditional for the groom, assisted by his associates, to try and take the bride from her house and produce her to the wedding. "But the bridesmaids are trying to defend the bride, all the whereas making sure the groom is worthy of her," says Jeff, who endured a sequence of exams. Chuangmen, also called door video games, is a key highlight of the day's festivities. "These days the games have been modernized with fun checks," explains Froelich. The banquet starts with a quick elaboration of the newlyweds ' love story' by the host, then it is the dad and mom' appreciation speech for everybody's attendance.
But though there have been marriages all through most of human civilization, this does not mean that there have been weddings. There are, for example, no marriage ceremony ceremonies involving an trade of vows within the Bible. Marriages had been made official via the signing of a contract or some other means of formalized settlement, but a marriage was not usually thought of to be a non secular or even romantic event. And as a result of there have been no weddings, for a very long time there could be no true wedding ceremony dresses, both.

Also, an important factor that makes you interesting for any single lady from China is that you are a chief. American and European mother and father develop boys to be sturdy, assured, and decisive.
They will change wedding rings and vows, drink cross-cupped wine for the meaning of share pleasure and sorrow. In some area, the bride and groom will bow thrice on the stage. The first is to bow for the heaven, the second is to their mother and father for elevating them up and the third is to each other for the respect in marriage life. Then the groom and bride should call their mother and father in regulation as mother and father, by then the 2 families are thought-about united formally.
In Search Of Out The Final Word Place To Search For Chinese Brides
Since the Chinese government launched its 2008 National Plan of Action on Combating Trafficking in Women and Children, the Chinese marriage market has been scrutinised for its connections to human trafficking actions. Additionally, across the border in Burma, excessive poverty, land grabs and army conflicts have made livelihoods unsustainable for a lot of women in Burma. These factors have expanded the market for marriage transactions across the border although Burma has ratified the Trafficking Protocol and institutionalised an Anti-Trafficking Police Task Force. A extra relaxed social order led to more numerous and experimental fashions, with women carrying quick attire and even conventional menswear of their every day lives.
Chinese Ladies For Marriage: The Resources Of Search
For the majority of its existence, marriage has been a cosmopolitan matter, having to do with the switch of property, the creation and help of children, the monitoring of bloodlines, and the management of women. For these causes, it was normally a person-girl affair, no matter a society's feelings towards homosexuality.
Traditionally, the groom's household ought to current the betrothal or "Grand Gift" which is various proposal gifts representing fertility and prosperity to understand the girl's mother and father' efforts in raising the girl. Later, the woman's family would send the girl's dowry consisted of jewellery to show their support and love for their daughter. The betrothal and dowry are thought of to be an necessary part in sealing the marriage, only by then the two are thought of officially engaged. There is a matchmaker god referred meet chinese women to as Yuelao in command of folks's marriage in Chinese legend. He unites people's marriage by tying a red string around the ankles of the future husband and wife. In historic time, many younger women and boys coming to the age of getting married would go to Yuelao Temple to hope for a perfect match. Today, Young men and women would nonetheless do the identical typically but instead of praying for a substantial match it's mainly for a romantic chance of coming across their Mr.\Miss.
Today many Chinese brides choose three clothes on the marriage ceremony. Below is an in depth picture exhibiting the evolutions of Chinese wedding attire over time because the finish of 18th century. In the west it's common for a couple to formally announce their wedding ceremony by changing into engaged and historically the man buys the woman an engagement ring.
The groom's family would place the note containing the woman's start element on the ancestral altar for 3 days. Only after both outcomes had been favorable, would the two families organize to meet. By then the longer term bride and groom may lastly meet their "other half" face-to-face.

About this time last year, I remember watching a television interview on CNN by an American reporter covering our war in Afghanistan. He was speaking to a soldier of the Northern Alliance through the help of an interpreter. In the course of the interview, the reporter drew a map of the United States and a decent map of the globe to explain to the soldier that he was an American from the New England area and also to give him an idea as to where America was situated in relation to Afghanistan. After awhile, the reporter realized that his drawing made no sense to this soldier because the soldier had no idea that the world is round. It was amazing. This soldier had never been told or taught that the world was a sphere. The reporter, understandably, took this for granted. Excuse the pun, but it seems that the two men were worlds apart.
The reason I tell this little aside is to demonstrate the fact that many persons, Christian and non-Christian alike, take the story of today's Gospel for granted as well. It's a narrative with which we are perhaps all too familiar with. We do well to take a closer look - to open up the Scriptures and see what was going on.
The Annunciation is one of my personal favorite scenes in the Gospel because it is the model for every disciple's decision to be open to God's will. If you ask any priest or religious, they will tell you that their vocation story is encapsulated in the story of the Annunciation because every person consecrated to celibate chastity for the sake of the kingdom takes Mary as their model for giving up their legitimate right to natural generation of humanity so that divinity may be born out of them. The difference with Mary, of course, is that she bore both divinity AND humanity in the person of Jesus - not a fusion of two persons, human and divine but rather - a divine person, the second person of the Blessed Trinity, taking on human nature.
The Fathers of the Church tell us that the Annunciation, which is the scene depicted in the Gospel today, ranks among the most important events in human history, right up there with the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. It is said that the Annunciation was the moment in all of human history when the angels held their breath in anticipation of Mary's response to the invitation to become the Mother of God. Mary could have said, "no." She was perfectly free to do this. Like any human person, she had an intellect and free will. But we know how the story ends up. Mary gives her assent and the course of human history would be changed forever because her Son would go on to redeem the entire human race. In effect, Mary at the Annunciation, conceives Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit in her heart by faith before she conceives Him in her body by flesh.
Mary's yes to life makes her the consummate pro-life model. There is no hesitation with God's plan but total trust in His infinitely wise design. Mary does not seek to have total control over her life nor assert her will over God's will. She is totally receptive to the conception of life in her womb - and that has made all the difference for us. In our own day, this total openness to God's will in matters of marriage and family is at times, so counter-cultural vis a vis our contraceptive culture. Mary must have known that accepting the invitation of the angel would have put her in a crisis pregnancy. After all, she was not married and being found pregnant without a husband could have been grounds for the death penalty by stoning. Yet, she accepts the invitation in total freedom and joy.
Towards the end of the angel Gabriel's visit, Mary makes her response. She says, "I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word." This response is one of total humility. Like all the virtues, humility is found both in the intellect (in the mind) and in the will (in the heart). When Mary says that she is the handmaid of the Lord, she is repeating the famous words of Hannah from the Old Testament in an old Jewish hymn sung by women who were expecting. Mary, in her intellect, recognizes that she has been chosen by God for a unique role in salvation history. But humility does not end in the intellect - it is not merely mentally accepting the truth about a situation. Humility must also be an act of the will. Thus, when Mary says, "fiat" or "be it done to me according to thy word," she is accepting or willing the message of the angel and taking ownership of it. This is where her hope (or trust) and her love (or charity) enter in. So, humility starts as a recognition in the mind and flows into the heart as an act of the will.
When Mary accepts the invitation to become the Mother of God, she is, in effect, taking on the responsibility of making Jesus Christ visibly real and present in the world. God enters the human scene in this extraordinary way. We do well to ask ourselves if we respond to God's invitation to make His Son real in the world by the manner of our lives - to make Jesus really relevant to those who have not really met Him. Last Sunday evening, I accepted an invitation to attend a Christmas party held by one of my friends from college and her three housemates. Typically, I turn-down such invitations because I try to restrict the number of Christmas parties I attend in Advent, to be more faithful to the liturgical season, but in this case, I almost turned down the invitation because I knew that by going to the party, I would be taken out of my comfort zone. You see, when I'm in the friendly confines of this parish or in the homes of Catholic young and not so young-adults, I often feel like the character, Norm in the once popular sit-com, Cheers. When Norm walks in the bar, everyone screams, "Norm" or in may case, "Father". Everyone knows my name. In such scenarios, I am not an anomaly or an enigma. However, when I walked into that party last Sunday night, I was anything but familiar - I could feel the stares on my collar when I walked into that party. This is what I call working in the vineyard - maybe overtime. Besides the fact that I was "ambushed" by a woman who insisted that I account for all of the recent Church scandals and another guy who was trying to convince me that joining the Masons was a good thing, I came to realize that there are still so many people in our city who do not know Jesus. I often wonder what each of us is doing to make Jesus real to others outside of our comfort zone.
Mary stepped out of her comfort zone by accepting the invitation to be God's mother. How willing are we to do our part? For ourselves, we experience our own Annunciations - when we have to make major decisions and need to be able to listen to what God desires of us - for example - when we discern over our vocations or our careers. But those are rather infrequent when compared to the mini-Annunciations - those times when God is trying to speak to us through our work, our families, our friends, our Church. Mary was able to be receptive to God's will because she had a keen spirit of recollection - always on the lookout for God working in her life; always sensitive to God's will in all things. We should ask if we have done our part, by God's grace, to cultivate a spirit of recollection before Christmas OR are we, at this point, just so exhausted because of all of the business of the season and the details of getting ready in matters non-spiritual. If we're not ready, all is not lost - there is still time. We have 48 hours. Will we salvage this Advent in its waning moments, It's now or never. God is giving us these final hours to really prepare. Let us pray that we are equal to the task.
Finally, Mary's "fiat" teaches us that she is intrinsically tied to the Eucharist. Each time we look at the Blessed Sacrament, we not only see Jesus in his body, blood, soul and divinity, we see the Father, the Spirit and our Lady - who gave him flesh so that he could become man and die as the perfect oblation to the Father. As every priest says, "This is my body", so too does Mary when she accepts motherhood of the Savior and says in her unique way, THIS IS MY BODY. Mary is therefore an essential component in the Eucharistic miracle.
I would suggest that we each take time today to meditate on the first joyful mystery of the rosary - the Annunciation. If you are not in the habit of praying the Angelus at noon, it is easily culled off of the internet. Praying the Angelus, which is a traditional prayer based on today's Gospel, is a wonderful way to take a break at noon each day to honor one of the greatest events in human history and to honor the Mother of God, asking for her intercession.
Let us ask Mary to teach us how to pray and to lead us to her son. And like Mary, may our prayers join that of the Psalmist in recognition of the awesomeness of the mystery of the Incarnation as we repeat our antiphon over and over again into Christ - Forever I will sing of the goodness of the Lord.

Libya: Development Prospects and Challenges
The Maghreb Center, the World Bank Public Information Center (InfoShop), and the World Bank's Maghreb Department, Middle East and North Africa Vice Presidency announce a special presentation on:
Monday, June 19, 2006 from 12:00 noon – 2pm
World Bank J Building – J1-050
701 18th St. NW (corner of 18th St. and Pennsylvania Ave.)
Event is followed by a light lunch reception in the InfoShop
Since 2003, after the United Nations Security Council lifted sanctions against Libya and the country's decision to voluntarily turn over all of its WMD, the pace of Libya's return to the international stage has been fast. This has resulted in the progressive elimination of US and European sanctions, and the decision in 1999 by Libya to transform its state-based economy into one that is market-based, a decision restated in March 2004 by the Libyan General People's Congress. Accordingly, Libya has embarked on a series of publicly announced reforms to achieve private sector led economic take-off and sustained growth, while diversifying its predominantly oil-based sources of revenue, and to sustain human development. The main obstacles to achieving these goals are linked to the nature of Libya's political/governance system, its legal system, the size of its public sector, and its deficient banking system. The purpose of this panel is to present and discuss Libya's political and legal systems, to assess the state of its economy, and the development strategies that Libya may adopt going forward.

The Road to Zero
00000175-b316-d35a-a3f7-bbdeffe60000Last year, 102 people died on Austin's roads, the highest number the city's ever recorded. No one has a clear answer as to why there was such a sharp uptick, but the city is working on finding ways to address the deadliest contributing factors.
Vision Zero Plan Passes Through Mobility Committee, Heads to Council for Final Approval
Published May 10, 2016 at 7:30 AM CDT
Miguel Guitierrez Jr./KUT
Austin's Mobility Committee passed the city's Vision Zero plan yesterday. While the plan will move on to the Austin City Council for a vote next week, many recommendations in the plan remain unfunded.
The city of Austin's Vision Zero plan is heading to the full city council for final approval next week with the blessing of the city's Mobility Committee, which voted to send the plan to the full council Monday.
Francis Reilly of the city's planning department told the Mobility Committee that traffic deaths are a public health problem, like smoking or seat belt use.
"We're going to need to raise awareness, change regulations, enforce those regulations and build safety into the design. And that's really what Vision Zero is about," Reilly said.
The city's plan includes more than 60 recommendations to improve traffic safety through street design, law enforcement, education campaigns and possible policy changes at the local and legislative level. Some are underway, but many will take time to fully implement – and a lot of them still need funding. Mobility committee chair Ann Kitchen said that's one reason she wanted to approve the plan.
"I would like to be able to get as soon as possible our city staff and city manager working on these recommendations, particularly under the first item where things they can immediately recommend, I mean, immediately act on."
The Mobility committee voted 3 to 1 to send the plan to the full council, but Council Member Don Zimmerman voted against it. The goal of transportation should be to move people from one place to another, he said, not to prevent injuries.
"I would rather us focus on the 90 percent of people who are really frustrated and are stuck in traffic. To me, that ought to be our focus. And we still haven't been addressing traffic congestion relief. I don't like this focus," Zimmerman said.
While this plan does not deal with congestion, the city does have a separate Traffic Congestion Action Plan. The Vision Zero report is expected to come before the city council about six months later than its deadline.
All this week KUT is focusing on Austin's traffic fatality problem and the city's efforts to reduce the number of fatal traffic crashes to zero. So, we're calling the series The Road to Zero. You can find more stories and learn more about the plan here at roadtozero.kut.org.
This story was produced as part of KUT's reporting partnership with the Austin Monitor.

Don't leave this city without bringing home a slice of Koto for your family and friends.
Once you've tried Fukagawa's specialty dish, Fukagawa-meshi, trust us when we say you would wish you could replicate the flavour back home. Well, consider your wish fulfilled at Keyakiya, whose bestseller is the Fukagawa-meshi dashi mix! This retail store specialises in ready-made stock. Agodashi is dashi prepared using flying fish, rather than anchovies, thus lending the stock more fragrance minus the fishy aftertaste. Flying fish aside, the mix consists of the usual dashi suspects like kombu (dried kelp) and bonito flakes, but also Shitake mushroom for an umami hit.
Ever since Minatoya was founded more than 70 years ago, they have been specialising in a Japanese snack known as senbei, or rice cracker, toasted the traditional way — over a grill. Done at the shopfront, this technique requires dexterity and utmost attention from start to finish. Once the senbei are toasted, they will be flavoured in a variety of ways, be it with soy sauce, chilli powder (warning: not for the faint-hearted!), nori seaweed, or even asari clam used for Fukagawa's specialty dish, Fukagawa-meshi.
This brand of vinegar needs no introduction among Tokyo's top sushi restaurants. Established in 1937, Yokoi Vinegar is the one and only vinegar brewery in Tokyo. More impressively, it's used by half of all the sushi restaurants in the city. The brewery produces around 30 different types of vinegar, including Kinsho Komenosu, a light reddish brown vinegar that intensifies the aroma of sake rice and imparts an umami flavour; and Akazu, a dark coloured vinegar whose intense flavour makes it ideal for making Edo-style sushi rice. Another must-buy is their Makurozu Black Vinegar, which takes one year to process and involves 60 to 90 days of manual stirring!
Kameido Umeyashiki is a complex in Kameido that serves several purposes — it is a souvenir shop, a tourist information centre, a multi-use hall for craft and entertainment (check out the traditional woodblock print-style posters and advertisements lining the walls), a gallery for Edo Kiriko glassware, and a free-resting area. At the souvenir shop, you can get your fill of local snacks and trinkets to bring home, from adorable turtle-shaped ornaments and rice crackers to sour plums to Edo Kiriko glassware.
Cut-glass is an art that originally thrived in England, but towards the end of the Edo era (1603 – 1868), Japan took the art and carved out their own version that's been redesigned with traditional Japanese flair and meticulous execution; they named it Edo kiriko. This fine art was designated as a traditional craft industry of Tokyo in 1985, and a traditional craft product of the country in 2002. Today, there are few practicing artisans of Edo kiriko, which makes the craft all the more rare and revered. One of the artisans is the award-winning Yoshiro Kobayashi, the third-generation owner of the 109-year-old Edo kiriko workshop. His son, Kohei – whose name is already established in the arts scene in Japan – is primed to continue the legacy of his family's craft. If you are a collector of fine art, do check out Kobayashi's esteemed collection of Edo kiriko.
The moment you enter the shop, you are greeted with rows of miso barrels brimming over with miso pastes. Stocking over 70 different kinds of miso from different regions of Japan, Sano Miso is the biggest miso retailer in the country — and probably, the world. The best thing about this shop is that you can request to taste the miso before you make your buying decision! All the staff here are certified miso sommeliers, so you can rest assured you are in good hands. There's also an in-store cafe that serves — what else — miso soup.
Occupying a former paper factory, Coci La Elle specialises in one-of-a-kind parasols (umbrellas that specifically provide shade from the sun) handpainted by owner and artist Chika Higashi. Originally from Nagasaki prefecture, Higashi was drawn to the ambience of Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, which prompted her to move to the district and set up Coci La Elle in 2010. The shop also carries limited-edition scarves, as well as rain jackets.

Take, for example, the steel industry. Steel – and particularly, though not limited to, stainless steel – is widely utilized on a worldwide scale. From the creation of skyscrapers and various elements of infrastructure to its use in the world of manufacturing, the steel industry is a wide one – and one that is quite incredibly vast indeed. And the uses of sheet metal are particularly vast, making it a wide industry indeed. In fact, by the time that we reach the year of 2024 the employment for sheet metal manufacturing alone will have grown by as much as 7% since the year of 2014, an impressive amount of growth for only ten years. That means that more than 9,000 jobs will have been created – and likely filled – in this very same span of time.
Steel is a highly accessible material indeed, from sheet steel to all other types of steel out there. All throughout the world, an immense amount of steel is produced on a yearly basis – and imported and exported as such, moving from country to country. Ultimately, life without steel products would be quite difficult indeed, and we use steel on a daily basis in our lives – even if this is not necessarily something that we actively realize. For many people, steel is simply an important background feature of our lives. In fact, steel can be used in everything from airplane parts to filters for the creation of the best possible filtration system and filtration process, something that is incredibly essential in so many parts of this country as well as all throughout the world as a whole (especially in today's day and age).
Materials and machine tools for any given filtration process has also become an important market for OEM companies to cater to. After all, many a filtration process is a hugely important thing indeed – something like the water filtration process can even be essential for overall public health, and therefore the efficacy and efficiency of any given water filtration process should not be underestimated by any standards.
Fortunately, there are many tools being created to aid in the typical filtration process, be it a filtration process for water or some other substance. For instance, metal mesh filters are often quite heavily utilized in the typical water filtration process, and metal mesh material in general has been proved to be quite useful. So too is the typical wire cloth filter, and such wire cloth filters can also be used in many a water filtration process or other such filtration process. In many cases, the use of such tools is what makes a filtration process effective and safe in the first place.
Of course, there are even more types of filters out there, ready and able to be used in the typical filtration process, no matter what type of filtration process this might be. Aside from metal meshes and wire mesh filters and the like, liquid filtration systems are also used on quite the frequent basis and in many a filtration system all throughout the country and even, in some cases, well beyond it. Liquid filters are often very safe for use in the average filtration system and are truly growing in popularity as time continues to pass by – a pattern that will likely continue in the years that are ahead of us as well.
At the end of the day, the market for OEM is a high one – and only growing as various aspects of industry remain prominent and continue to climb in this prominence as time passes on. Filtration systems are just one example of many, and though this article focuses on them, it's not all-encompassing.
