Durham's South College Bar becomes first university venue to receive a National Policing Award for Safety
07 December 2022 - News
Durham University's South College Bar has demonstrated its 5-star commitment to student safety, becoming the first university venue in the country to receive a National Policing Award for Safety.
South College was founded in 2019, offering students a vibrant, varied and enriching collegiate experience, with a range of modern facilities including the café-bar 'The Nest', which achieved the award after successfully taking part in a pioneering, police-led initiative to improve the safety and security of its premises for the benefit of staff, customers, and local communities.
Available as an online self-assessment, Licensing Security & Vulnerability Initiative (Licensing SAVI) brings together, for the first time, all the information that licensed premises need to comply with the requirements of local police and council licensing teams, achieve a star-rating and have the opportunity to apply for Licensing SAVI accreditation and an award.
Located in South College's Pitcairn Building, The Nest serves hot food and drinks and is used as a hub for students wishing to study, work on group projects and socialise. In the evenings, the bar serves soft drinks and alcoholic beverages and is host to a number of social events including student performances, televised sports and dances. The space can also be opened to increase capacity, allowing for larger-scale events.
l-r: Joy Allen, Durham Police & Crime Commissioner, Amy Shuttleworth, Vice President of South College JCR,
Phil Smith, Food and Beverage Services Head, Professor Tim Luckhurst, Principal South College and Ian Shuttleworth, Licensing SAVI
Durham University's Philip Smith, Food and Beverage Services Head at South College, said: "Providing a safe space for our students to socialise and build a community is one of the main aims of our café-bar, so by applying for the Licensing SAVI accreditation we hope this shows our commitment to this and further enhances the confidence of our students. We are delighted to have achieved a 5* rating. The process was very easy to complete, and the resources provided are very helpful to aid in ongoing staff training and for visible displays in the venue."
Mark Morgan, Business Manager, Licensing SAVI, congratulated the venue on their achievement: "We are delighted that South College Bar has been awarded our 5* rating, and in doing so, becomes the first university venue in the country to be accredited with this police-approved award for their safety, security & vulnerability.
"I hope students and staff visiting do so in the knowledge of the efforts Phil and the team have taken to enhance their safety, by achieving our highest rating and building upon the already excellent facility. We congratulate them on their achievement."
Joy Allen, Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, said: "I am delighted to see Durham University's South College leading the way, achieving this prestigious award for their 5-star commitment to student and venue safety. I now hope that other colleges and local bars in the city follow suit to help me, as the Police and Crime Commissioner, make Durham safer, stronger and more resilient to crime and disorder."

Licensing SAVI was developed at the request of the Home Office by Police Crime Prevention Initiatives (Police CPI), which works alongside the Police Service to deter and reduce crime. As well as provide safer and more secure venues for managers, staff, customers, and local communities, it also seeks to reduce demand on Police Forces, NHS Ambulance Services and Accident & Emergency Departments.
A YouGov survey of 5,050 adults aged 18-45 in England and Wales commissioned by Police CPI in 2021 found that 79% of adults agreed with the statement that 'recent publicity around the safety of women and girls has made it more important for licensed premises to improve their safety procedures'.
The research also found that support for improved safety in venues is greatest among women – with 83% of women wanting improved safety in nightclubs compared to 75% of men; and 81% of women wanting safer bars and pubs compared to 70% of men.
Licensing SAVI covers critical issues like responsible drinking, drugs misuse, violent behaviour and safeguarding vulnerable customers through to preventing opportunist theft and improving physical security, such as lighting and CCTV.
Most measures included in Licensing SAVI can be introduced quickly and at little or no cost.
The first police award of its kind, Licensing SAVI aims to support the licensing trade and is backed by the National Police Chiefs' Council and Project Servator, a police-led vigilance scheme to deter terrorist attacks at crowded-places.

I am an artist, researcher and journalist living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. My focus is on layered textiles, mainly bedwear. I make patchwork quilts or 'lappendekens' ('cloth blankets') as we call them in Dutch. At Fabricademy I want to learn how to embed interactive technology in quilts so they can help people sleep better. In fact I want to create a 'cyberquilt'. Also I want to discover if there are new and more endurable ways to (re)use small pieces of fabric for contemporary patchwork. By exploring both traditional and emerging patchwork and quiltwork I want to personalize quilts by integrating people's stories in the design, hopefully thereby stimulating people to use, mend and treasure their quilts for a lifetime.
As an artist I have a background in (new) media art and interaction design. I studied unstable and digital technologies at Gerrit Rietveld Academy, where I graduated with an honours degree in artistic research, having developed an interactive 'photo finish' installation to study time. I studied under guidance of (among others) artist-researcher Jennifer Kanary. By the way I am now an assistent in her Labyrinth Psychotica Project, which is a great inspiration for my own interactive textiles projects.
For a long time my main profession was journalism. As a writer and photographer I produced stories for newspapers, magazines and television programmes. For two years I was a correspondent in South-Africa, reporting from Cape Town on politics, human issues and the arts. For the last two years I have used my storytelling skills as an activist, researcher and campaigner for a left wing political party. I feel strongly that the world, which includes the planet as a whole, needs change in order to create a safe, pleasant and fruitful future for all things living. I would like to ask everyone who reads this to think of the things they love and hold dear: how would you like to pass these on to newer generations? If we start with protecting and sustaining what we love most, no matter how big or how small, we maybe might also find love in the difficult, perhaps painful proces of change needed to stop global warming, overconsumption and inequality. Me? I love textiles and quilts. So I start from there.
In Amsterdam we have a lot of pigeons. Some are quite unhygienic. I had to make this scarecrow recently to get rid of a couple of pigeons that were nesting above the entrance to our house. Which was a deed of activism with all the neigbours, since our landlord refused to clean the pigeons' droppings.
A few years back I was struck with illness – from which I am now almost fully recovered – and was forced to spend a large amount of time in bed or resting on the couch. During that time I took up my old passion for quilting, a craft I have loved and practiced since I was a girl. Whilst experimenting with new ways of assembling patchwork and alternative methods of quilting and binding multiple layers of fabric (all by hand), and at the same time struggling with ill health and resulting mood swings, I got the idea for a quilt that would interactively boost and sustain a person's well-being, both physically by technology and mentally by design. I started doing some research on how nature performs thermoregulation biologically (both in animals and plants) and I tried to discover what scientific progress is made concerning 'smart' bedwear and interactive quilts of blankets. Also I was looking into the beneficial (psychological) effects of pattern, grid and use of colour.
A love affair combining technology and crafts.

It has been some time since my building was last treated. What product would best waterproof my building?
Wood Protector and Safe & Natural are both designed to waterproof timber. Both will adhere to smooth and rough sawn timber surfaces but will require two coats. The first coat will soak into the timber and successive coats will build up the protection and sheen.
Can I paint Protek wood stains over old wood stains?
Yes you can paint over old treatments even if they were spirit based or creosote. The coating must be well weathered and the surface must be cleaned as much as possible.
I have new and old fencing of different shades. What do you recommend will protect my fencing and match up all the colours?
A dark wood stain like Safe & Natural Nut Brown will cover over almost all colours, I one coat doesn't match up the colours then try a second coat. If you would like a lighter colour use Wood Protector as it has white pigments in it that will cover over darker colours. Both contain a fungicide that will help your fencing last.
Are Protek wood stains safe for animals?
Yes they are but you are advised to make sure that all surfaces are dry and allow a minimum of 24 hours before allowing animals near any treated surfaces.
Coverage depends on surface porosity but you can expect to get between 8m2 and 12m2 per litre.
On rough sawn timber one coat is usually enough, unless you are treating a building in which case a second coat will improve the waterproofing. On smooth or planed surfaces it is generally better to apply two coats.
Can I spray Protek wood stains?
Yes you can. - All Protek wood stains are suitable for spraying. They are all water based too so if you find they are too thick for your sprayer try adding up to 10% water.
Are Protek wood stains waterproof coatings breathable?

Aurora, CO – Former Army Ranger and first-time candidate delivered a positive, inclusive, and actionable plan to bring servant leadership back to Washington in the first televised debate of the general election this week, while exposing Rep. Mike Coffman as an ineffective career politician who has broken his promises to Coloradans.
The debate, which covered issues like Social Security, immigration, climate change, and the president's performance in office, pitted Crow's record of service to his community over Rep. Coffman's failure to keep his fundamental promise to stand up to President Trump. Coffman has voted with Trump 96% of the time.

Does it really make difference to play a song in a different key?
I hear sometimes players and composers say that this song won't sound good in F Major for example, and you should play it or write it in G Major (this was just an example). In other words, it seems that they assign aesthetic attributes to keys.
My question is that, imagine a baby growing up in an isolated island, and hear all the songs of his entire life in F Major (all re-written for F Major), while another baby grow up in another isolated island and hear all the songs of his entire life in G Major. Now, is there an objective, real difference in the amount of pleasure they can get from same songs written for different keys?
This has really obsessed my mind, as I'm not sure if great composers really feel difference in songs being played in different keys. Did Beethoven for example felt Moonlight more sad in key X rather than being played in key Y?

This characterization of musical keys might be of interest: biteyourownelbow.com/keychar.htm – Rein Henrichs Jul 25 '11 at 22:36
Music, as an art, is in the ear of the listener. As a musician, I can say there are definitely times when a song sounds "better" in one key than another.
The primary reason this is so is when the key fits the "natural" range of a singer or instrument. A song may sound perfect when sung by a female alto, but as those notes sung verbatim would be at the top of a male vocalist's range or, if transposed, the very bottom, it would very likely sound "off" (regardless of subject matter) if sung by a male in the original key, because you will hear the strain in his voice, or the timbre changes as he moves from his chest voice into either his head voice or to pedal tones. Transposed down a fifth into a new key, the song would sound much better when sung by a male singer. The same applies in reverse.
In other cases, such as stringed instruments like guitars, there is a mixture of convenience and of chord voicing. Guitars, because of the tuning of their open strings, have a few "natural" keys, like G and D, in which the most common chords heard in a song of that key (I,ii,iii,IV,V,vi) are easy to play. Also, because of the tuning intervals between strings and the subsequent natural spacing of notes in guitar chords, the playing of a song in a different key often necessitates the use of chord fingerings which produce alternate voicings; a different note in the chord will be on bottom and on top, and different notes will be next to each other. This can definitely make a song sound better or worse depending on key.
Even in cases of instruments like pianos, where theoretically the instrument has the same timbre across the entire instrument and the same chord voicing can be played just as easily in any key, there are changes in timbre as the pitch changes. This is due to differences in construction across the same instrument (a piano for example goes from one to two and three wound strings, and then to three monofilament strings, for each key of the keyboard as you move from left to right) and due to simple physics (for instance, as notes increase in pitch, we hear less of the harmonic overtones produced as they pass beyond 40kHz, and conversely, as pitch decreases and heads toward the subsonic range, the frequency difference in notes and thus our ability to perceive said difference diminishes). This may lead to a song sounding better in a lower (or higher) key for reasons that may not be explainable at the time.
Great answer. Especially regarding the varying amounts of harmonic overtones which different notes produce on a given instrument. Personally, it's pretty much the main reason I end up choosing certain keys when composing music for a particular instrument. – Alexander Jul 21 '11 at 1:00
Guitar part so true. Those concerns are main purposes of transposing song key for guitar performance. Of "natural" keys for guitar You should add E and A on first place but G,D,C are good examples too – Hubert Czerski Jul 21 '11 at 7:25
Of course you can use a capo on a guitar and widen the number of keys where you can use each set of chord shapes but there are still limits because once you capo above 4th fret the sound changes (in a good way but still different). – Mr. Boy Jan 26 '15 at 11:57
In modern Western music, we use equal temperament where all keys are basically equivalent. Notes are based on 2 n/12. Using A440 as a base, you get the following:
A = 440 Hz * 2 0/12 = 440 Hz
B♭ = 440 Hz * 2 1/12 = ~466 Hz
B = 440 Hz * 2 2/12 = ~494 Hz
Historically this was not the case, however. Just intonation ruled the world, where notes are based on ratios:
A = 440 Hz * 1/1 = 440 Hz
B♭ = 440 Hz * 16/15 = ~469 Hz
B = 440 Hz * 9/8 = 495 Hz
So the short story is that different keys are / were fundamentally different due to the application of ratios not preserving the exact frequency values of notes. This is apart from the the sound of higher/lower frequencies, which of course affect the aesthetics as well. If you want all the details, we have several related questions with great answers:
What's the difference between a G♭ and an F#?
Why are there twelve notes in an octave?
(On Math.SE) Mathematical difference between white and black notes in a piano?
And on this question there are actually examples of songs played in different temperaments:
Examples of songs or phrases played in different temperaments
Matthew Read♦Matthew Read
Isn't the choice of temperament more dependent on which instruments are being used? I was under the impression that string ensembles preferred playing in just intonation, while playing in an ensemble with a keyboard implies that all instruments have to follow the keyboard's tuning. – Rhymoid Oct 20 '15 at 23:43
@Rhymoid Definitely yes, some instruments are more naturally tuned to or played in one versus the other. – Matthew Read♦ Oct 21 '15 at 1:50
Assuming that the intonation and tambre of the instruments/voices were maintained, there is one main difference that is dependent on the way you listen to music. People with strong relative pitch listen to a piece as a progression of intervals. The arpeggio C-E-G would be heard as M3-m3. This is a very effective way to think of music, but is also not the only way. People who can identify individual notes more strongly, or have perfect pitch, listen to this arpeggio just as it is played: C-E-G. When the arpeggio is changed to another key, like F-A-C, there is a more defined difference because the notes are changed. If you are more dependent on relative pitch, you would not hear as much as a difference because the intervals remain unchanged.
UmiUmi
@Umi, good hint. That's almost what I believe in. Relativistic nature of notes towards each other. I mean, pleasure is gained when you hear first note and expect the second note to have interval X from first one. Now, as much as we preserve that interval (which should be a physical quantity, thus maintainable), we should feel the same about the song. +1 for this good note. – Saeed Neamati Jul 21 '11 at 6:18
I recently bought a recording of Schubert's "Die Schöne Müllerin" sung by a baritone. This song cycle has always been published in two versions, high-key (for sopranos and tenors) and low-key (for altos, baritones and basses). The recording has the low-key version.
Throughout, the piano writing sounds too thick and heavy. The high-key version does not. There is an ideal spacing of notes in piano chords. Four notes all within the octave starting on Middle C sound OK; those same four notes transposed down a fifth sound darker and thicker.
I saw the same effect when I took a song and transposed it up a fifth to be easier for flute and piano. The whole thing sounded too high, as if a record were played at the wrong speed.
In both cases it was not a mismatch of the range of the voice or instrument. The baritone was singing in his natural range, and the flute was in its best range.
Mark LuttonMark Lutton
I like your baby/island question, and it actually has some interesting answers. Not counting for timbre, range, or tuning system, there is nothing inherent in one key center or another that makes them more or less enjoyable.
However, if you took those babies on their islands and switched them for a day, they would probably think that the other island's music was entirely crap! This is because musical tastes, even down to key center and tuning, is socioculturally constructed.
As people brought up in the culture of western classical music (for the purposes of this illustration), we have a number of preferences for key center since that is what composers have written over the centuries. C minor, especially written by Beethoven, is often considered to be reminiscent of "heroic struggle." We could also look for historical musical links between, say, G major and "bright" sounding music, or C# minor as "sad and brooding". It should go without saying that there's no objective list for key centers and their related "feelings"; this is music at its most subjective. But suffice it to say, a classical composer with broad experience in the classical repertoire will usually have an opinion on whether a piece he's written sounds better in this or that key.

Modern Architecture Essay
4703 Words Oct 26th, 2010 19 Pages
Le Corbusier and Mies van de Rohe were two architects influenced by the contemporary movements of their time period. Le Corbusier's architectural ideology was derived from the multiple techniques and styles he had previously encountered through study. His early designs were expressive of the "youth style" which was introduced to him by his instructor, L'Eplattenier. New technologies, however, began to influence his philosophies. Le Corbusier saw potential in concrete building systems and desired to experiment with its structural abilities through his designs. The modern industry, as well as the political disorder which came about following the First World War, motivated his innovative design philosophies which appeared in …show more content…
Mies van der Rohe was in favor of going back to the building approach to design, which he felt had been replaced with form. He saw architecture as a very simple creation of space to serve only the function of shelter. He thought it was necessary to resort back to this ideology but bring it into play in the new era. "It is mainly our concern to liberate all building activity from aesthetic specialists. And make building again what it always has been. Building." Le Corbusier defined the correlation of past and present through the evolution of architecture. The present would not exist without prior growth; therefore architecture is a continuation of the past. "We must see to the establishment of standards so we can face up to the problem of perfection. The Parthenon is a product of selection applied to a standard. Architecture works on standards. Standards are a matter of logic, of analysis, of scrupulous study; they are based on a problem well posed. Experimentation fixes the standard definitively." Mies van der Rohe preached that architectural design lies in the process in which it is created rather thatn in the resulting form. In agreement, Michael Speaks stated, "While problem-solving works within a given paradigm to create 'new' solutions to known problems, innovation risks working with existent but unknown conditions in order

Because of its modern sensibilities, Bunche also exemplifies notions of neoclassicism in terms of the classic American college, the picturesque, and modernism in order to function socially as a building that emphasizes new ideas in modern education and to serve as an easily accessible…
Traditional vs Modern Architecture Essay
Can modern architecture and traditional architecture concur? Nowadays, traditional ways of performing tasks are fading and very few parts of it still exists, now all types of machinery with the help of technology have been invented to make work easier for human beings. (7Ranchise 2011) Architecture has been divided into many categories to fit our life styles in a particular time at a particular place. (7Ranchise 2011) The main two well-known ways of recognising these are: Modern Architecture and…
Modern vs. Postmodern Architecture Essay
If modernism and postmodernism are arguably two most distinguishing movements that dominated the 20th century Western art, they are certainly most exceptional styles that dominated the global architecture during this period. While modernism sought to capture the images and sensibilities of the age, going beyond simple representation of the present and involving the artist's critical examination of the principles of art itself, postmodernism developed as a reaction against modernist formalism, seen…

Gaudi, being one of the movement's representatives, showed his creativity and his individuality though his works which were inspired by nature. Many of the other architects of the Modernisme movement used their own individuality and depiction of nature as well.

(January 7, 2015) Bike theft is getting a lot of attention recently - and with good reason. Bike theft is a deterrent for people riding bicycles and we want to keep people on their bikes and protecting their investments. Below are seven essential tips for keeping your bike safe. There is also a handy card you can download that shows the best way to lock your bike and a place to write down your serial number for recovering a stolen bike.
7. Write down your serial number. It's the best piece of information you can have to recover your stolen bike. (Download the card for more information).
While our 7 tips are short and sweet, we do want to expand on a few of them. For example, we understand that not everyone has bike storage in their homes and that parking in public (Tip #4) or open places may be the only option. City bike racks are designed for short-term uses, such as going out to eat or visiting a friend. If you do not have more secure bike parking available, we suggest talking with your neighbors and property manager about creating a secure parking area. City building codes require all new multi-family (apartment) and commercial buildings (e.g. office) to have long-term bike parking facilities that are more secure than public racks and are weather protected. However, many buildings were constructed before building codes required bike parking. This leaves a gap in bike parking for many people. However, property managers may be responsive to tenants requesting essential services as part of their leases.
Our last tip (#7) does not actually help prevent bike theft, but does allow you to claim a bike that the police have recovered. Proof of ownership is essential for getting your stolen bike back. Your serial number and a picture of your bike are your two best preventative measures. An original receipt, if you bought the bike new, is also very useful.
Visit EndBikeTheft.org for more information on preventing bike theft.
For even more detail about securing your bike, check out this article from the Office of Neighborhood Involvement's pages.

By American and European standards, Mexico City is extremely affordable on the whole, though prices vary wildly: The same street might offer a 40-dollar steak and a 25-cent taco. And just as many people might prefer the taco, there are modest but charming hotels catering largely to Mexican leisure travelers on a budget, that might suit your taste and budget more than the luxury chains catering to upscale international business travelers.
Colonia Juárez, where this colonial-styled hotel is located, has turned into one of the city's coolest, while this hotel has maintained its modesty. Take advantage of it before they make the boutique-hotel conversion.
Don't let the word hostel get you down; this hip inn—with a rooftop terrace that frequently hosts impromptu parties—has private rooms that are among the best values in the Centro.
If your plans revolve around the Centro Histórico, Hotel Catedral has a panoramic view terrace (and rooms with cathedral views) and squeaky-clean rooms for much less than the surrounding tourist-trap hotels.
Minimalist chic and a breakfast buffet in the heart of the LGBT neighborhood makes this a favorite among the post-hostel crowd. The 650-sq. ft. penthouse suite with terrace is a phenomenal deal.
A favorite of luxury as well as budget travelers, this intimate B&B has a few sub-$100 rooms that beat nearby boutique hotels on location, space, and charm.
Though located in the Zona Rosa, this hotel is a block from the heart of the (more expensive) Roma Norte neighborhood. It has many non-budget features like 24-hour room service, coffeemakers, and free wifi in the immaculate rooms.
The Mexican-owned One chain finds the sweet spot among location, price, and service. This one's a block from Alameda Park in the historic center, at a fraction of the rates at the high-rise hotels on nearby Reforma avenue.

Metra train halted as Wilmette cops inspect suspicious package
(The following appeared at ChicagoBreakingNews.com on January 23, 2010.)
CHICAGO — An inbound Metra Union Pacific North Line train was delayed about an hour north of Wilmette as police there investigated a suspicious package on a curb at the station, officials said.
Just before 10 a.m., Wilmette police were called to the train station to inspect the package, said Tom Miller, a spokesman for Metra.
Southbound Metra line No. 334, scheduled to arrive at the Ogilvie Transportation Center at 10:30 a.m., remained at the Hubbard Woods station, three stops north of the
Wilmette station, during the police activity.
Police determined the package was trash about 10:30 a.m. and train service resumed, police said.


A compact, quick and powerful point guard who can score in bunches. Moving up draft boards as he continues his stellar play.
Evans is a strong and quick lead guard who really excels at scoring the ball. He scores efficiently from all three levels and is tough to keep out of the lane. His quickness, strength and ball-handling skills allow him to get to his spots and control the flow of the offense.
He collapses the defense with the dribble-drive and can score amongst the trees or kick it out for an open shot.
Hits the three point shot at a high percentage and shows good shot selection. Loves to have the ball in his hands in crutch time.
Lightening quick in the open court and does a nice job of pushing the ball in transition.
Evans is a menace on the defensive end. A pesky ball hawk, he gets lots of steals and puts a ton of pressure on opposing point guards. He plays with a low center of gravity and has really quick feet, allowing him to keep his man from driving. Plays the passing lanes well and has good defensive awareness.
Doesn't have great size (although has good strength) and will have a lot of tough match ups at the next level vs bigger point guards.
Can over-drive the ball and get caught in no-man's land. Is not much of an above the rim player and could struggle to score in the lane against NBA size/length.
Reminds of Kyle Lowry with his compact build and scoring ability. Looks a little bit like Chris Paul and has a similar style of play. Small and quick like Speedy Claxton.


"Virtually all contemporary pop music gets its melodic, harmonic, and thus formal vocabulary from Western classical sources."True, but much of the rhythm, beat, groove, soul, and personality comes from black sources. Jazz couldn't have been created by blacks alone or by whites alone. It was a musical case of miscegenation.
Yikes! Is that guy crazy???? We went out to look at Christmas lights tonight and it was freezing in the car! My heater seems to be acting up…as in…not really working! It wasn't such a long ride!! I'm a little crazed right now too….I have a feeling it will be like this for awhile yet!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A great read. I'll definitely be back.
I think this is among the most vital info for me. And i'm satisfied studying your article. However want to statement on few basic issues, The website taste is great, the articles is in reality nice . Excellent job, cheers.
Multumesc foarte mult pentru urare,esti o draguta!Iar blogul tau este foarte frumos,il urmaresc de ceva vreme si imi plac foarte mult tinutele pe care le postezi!Multi pupici!
I can see you might be an expert at your field! I am launching a internet site soon, and your facts is going to be very interesting for me.. Thanks for all your support and wishing you all of the success.
Your photos look super-delicious! And I love the fact that this tart is so easy to make. Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to try it. For similar easy-to-bake/prepare chocolate recipes visit Dove Chocolate Discoveries' website.

Q: Why does my code ask for "Please enter a number between 2-12: " twice? Why does my code ask for "Please enter a number between 2-12: " twice?
When I run the program it prompts the user twice to enter "Please enter a number between 2-12: ".
This is the entire code:
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
//This program prompts the user to select a number between 2 and 12
//computer throws two dices
//player win if selected number matches the sum of the two dices thrown by computer
//for this Wednesday complete program by:
//add a module/function that throws first dice
//add a module/function that throws second dice
//add a function that evaluate game (comparing user selection with sum of the two dices)
//display outcome
//prompt the user if he/she wants to play again or quit
using namespace std;

int user();
int throwdice();
int Evaluate();

int main()
{
    int userchoice = 0;
    int Dice = 0;
    int Display = 0;
    do
    {
        userchoice = user();
        Dice = throwdice();
        Display = Evaluate();
    }
    while (Display == 1);

}

int user()
{
    int usernumber = 0;
    cout << "Please enter a number between 2-12: ";

while (true)
        {
            cin >> usernumber;
            if (usernumber < 2 || usernumber > 12)
                {
                cout << "Error! \n";
                cout << "Please enter a number between 2-12: ";
                }
                else
                    break;
        }

return usernumber;
}

int throwdice()
{
    int sum = 0;
    int Dice = 0;
    int Dice2 = 0;

    srand(time(0));
    Dice = rand()%6+1;
    Dice2 = rand()%6+1;
    sum = Dice + Dice2;
    return sum;
}

int Evaluate()
{
    int Dice = throwdice();
    int userchoice = user();
    int playagain = 0;

    cout << "You entered: " << userchoice << endl << "The computer has: " << Dice << endl;
    if (userchoice == Dice)
        cout << "YOU WIN!!!!";
        else
        {
            cout << "You lose.";
        }
    cout << "\nWanna play again? 1 for yes, anything else equals no.: ";
    cin >> playagain;
    if (playagain == 1)
        return 1;
    else
        cout << "Goodbye!";

}

/*
string display()
{
    string choice ("Y");
    int number = 0;
    number = user();

    if (number != Dice)
        cout << "You entered:\n " << number << "\nComputer entered\n" << Dice << "Try again?";
            else
                cout << "YOU WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!";
    cout << "/n/nWant to play again?(Y/N): ";
    cin >> choice;

    return choice;

}
*/

A: Because you call user() twice: once from main, ignoring the result, and once from  Evaluate().

\section*{SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: Alternative derivation of Eq.~(23) using standard quantum field theory}
Here we provide an alternative derivation of Eq.~(23) which reinforces that the infinite term between parenthesis appearing in this expression must be identified with the total Rindler proper time $\Delta \tau_{\rm R}$. In the inertial framework, the normalized physical modes of the  electromagnetic field in polar coordinates [solutions of Eq.~(6)] are
\begin{eqnarray}
    A_\alpha^{(I,m,k_\bot,k_z)} &=& k_\bot^{-1}
    \left( k_z g_{m k_\bot  k_z},-\omega g_{m k_\bot k_z} ,0,0\right), \nonumber
    \label{InertialObserversModes1} \\
    A_\alpha^{(II,m,k_\bot,k_z)} &=&  k_\bot^{-1}
    \left(0,0, -m g_{m k_\bot k_z} /r,  -i r \partial_r g_{m k_\bot k_z} \right), \nonumber
    \label{InertialObserversModes2}
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{equation}
    g_{ m k_\bot k_z} \equiv
    (8 \pi^2 \omega)^{-1/2} J_m \left( k_\bot r \right) e^{i m \phi} e^{i k_z z} e^{-i \omega t}, \nonumber
\end{equation}
$\epsilon = I, II$ labels the mode polarizations, $m \in \mathbb{Z}$, $k_\bot \in [0,+\infty)$, $k_z \in (-\infty,+\infty)$,  and we recall that $\omega = \left(k_\bot^2 +k_z^2 \right)^{1/2}$. We expand $\hat A_\alpha$ in terms of inertial normal modes as
\begin{equation}
    \hat A_\alpha = \sqrt{\hbar} \sum_{\epsilon,m} \int_0^{\infty} dk_\perp k_\perp \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dk_z
    \left( \hat a_{(l)} A_\alpha^{(l)} + {\rm H.c.} \right)
    \label{expansion2} \nonumber
\end{equation}
with $(l)=(\epsilon, m, k_\bot, k_z)$. The $k_\bot$-distribution of Minkowski photons is given by
\begin{equation}
    k_\bot^{-1} \frac{dN_{k_\bot }^{{\rm M}\, {\rm }}}{dk_\bot}=
    \sum_{\epsilon,m}
    \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d k_z
    \ | {\cal A}^{{\rm M}\, {\rm em}}_{(l)}|^2,
    \label{emissionMrate}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
    |  {\cal A}^{{\rm M}\, {\rm em}}_{(l)} | =
    \hbar^{-1} \left|
    \int d^4 x \sqrt{-g}  j^\alpha\,
    \langle l | \hat{A}_\alpha | 0 \rangle_M
    \right| \nonumber
\end{equation}
and we recall that $j^\alpha$ is given by Eq.~(4).
We note that Eq.~(\ref{emissionMrate}) [in contrast to Eqs. (10) and (11)] does not carry any thermal factor because the Minkowski vacuum, $|0 \rangle_M$, is a no-particle state according to inertial observers. The photon emission amplitudes for both polarizations can be written as
\begin{eqnarray}
    {\cal A}^{{\rm M}\, {\rm em}}_{(I,m,k_\bot,k_z)}  &=& \hbar^{-1}\langle  I , m,   k_\bot,  k_z | i S_I | 0 \rangle_{M} \nonumber \\
    &=& \frac{i q J_m \left(k_\bot R \right)}{2 \pi  k_\bot \sqrt{2 \hbar \omega}}   \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\lambda \  h(\lambda)  \nonumber \\
    &\times& \left[ k_z \cosh{(a \lambda)}  - \omega \sinh{(a \lambda)}\right],
    \label{Ampl1} \\
    \nonumber \\
    {\cal A}^{{\rm M}\, {\rm em}}_{(II,m,k_\bot,k_z)} &=& \hbar^{-1} \langle II, m, k_\bot, k_z  | i S_I | 0 \rangle_{M} \nonumber \\
    &=&\frac{ q R \Omega J'_m(k_\bot R) }{2 \pi   \sqrt{2 \hbar \omega}}
    \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\lambda \  h(\lambda),
    \label{Ampl2}
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{equation}
    h(\lambda) = \exp{\left(-i m \Omega \lambda -\frac{i}{a} \left[ k_z \cosh{(a \lambda)}-\omega \sinh{(a \lambda)} \right] \right)} \nonumber
\end{equation}
and $\lambda$ is related to the inertial time by $t = a^{-1} \sinh{(a\lambda)}$, i.e., $\lambda$ is the proper time of the Rindler observer at $\xi=0$. This variable change is a necessary maneuver to allow us to express the emitted photon number in terms of $\Delta \tau_{\rm R}$.

In order to obtain the total emitted photon number per fixed $k_\bot$, we must square the absolute values of the amplitudes~(\ref{Ampl1}) and~(\ref{Ampl2}) and insert them in Eq.~(\ref{emissionMrate}). From this procedure, we end up with an integral
$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\lambda \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\lambda' \ (\cdots)$ which can be expressed
as $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\tau_{\rm R} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\sigma \ (\cdots)$ once we write $\tau_{\rm R} = (\lambda+\lambda')/2$ and $\sigma = \lambda-\lambda'$. As a result, we obtain for the emitted photon number
\begin{eqnarray*}
    &&k_\bot^{-1} \frac{dN_{k_\bot }^{{\rm M}\, {\rm}}}{dk_\bot} =
    \Delta \tau_{\rm R} \sum_m  \frac{q^2}{8 \pi^2 \hbar}
    \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\sigma \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d k_z  \\
    &&  \times  \left[ \left( {\cal N}_I + {\cal N}_{II} \right)  \exp [-i m \Omega  \sigma - 2i a^{-1} \omega \sinh{\left(a \sigma/2 \right)}] \right],
\end{eqnarray*}
with
\begin{eqnarray*}
    \Delta \tau_{\rm R} &=& \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\tau_{\rm R}, \\
    {\cal N}_I &=&  \frac{|J_m(k_\bot R)|^2}{\omega} \left[\left(\frac{\omega}{k_\bot} \right)^2-\cosh^2 \left({\frac{a \sigma}{2}} \right) \right], \\
    {\cal N}_{II} &=& \frac{|J'_m (k_\bot R)|^2}{\omega} (R \Omega)^2 ,
\end{eqnarray*}
where we have made the transformation $(k_z,\omega) \to (\tilde{k}_z,\tilde{\omega})$ with
\begin{eqnarray*}
    \tilde{k}_z & \equiv& k_z \cosh(a \tau_{\rm R}) - \omega \sinh(a \tau_{\rm R}), \\
    \tilde{\omega} & \equiv&  \omega \cosh(a \tau_{\rm R}) - k_z \sinh(a \tau_{\rm R}),
\end{eqnarray*}
and dropped the tildes, eventually. After solving the remaining integrals in $\sigma$ and $k_z$, we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
    && \frac{dN_{k_\bot }^{{\rm M}}}{dk_\bot}
    = \Delta \tau_{\rm R} \frac {q^2 k_\bot}{ \pi^2 \hbar a}\sum_m \Theta(m)  \left[ |K'_{{im\Omega}/{a}} ({k_\bot}/{a})|^2 \right.
    \nonumber \\
    && \left. \times   | J_m (k_\bot R ) |^2 + (R \Omega)^2 | K_{{i m \Omega}/{a}} ({k_\bot}/{a} ) |^2 | J'_m (k_\bot R) |^2  \right]
    \nonumber \\
    && \times \cosh \left[ \frac{\pi m \Omega}{a}\right],
\end{eqnarray}
which coincides with Eq.~(23) provided we make the identification
\begin{equation*}
    \Delta \tau_{\rm R} \leftrightarrow  \left( \frac{4 \pi}{a} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{d \kappa_z}{\left( 1+\kappa_z^2\right)^{1/2}} \right).
\end{equation*}

"An entertaining and revelatory "secret history" of Feminist Art, !Women Art Revolution deftly illuminates this under-explored movement through conversations, observations, archival footage and works of visionary artists, historians, curators and critics. Starting from its roots in 1960s antiwar and civil rights protests, the film details major developments in women's art through the 1970s and explores how the tenacity and courage of these pioneering artists resulted in what is now widely regarded as the most significant art movement of the late 20th century.
For more than forty years, filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson (Teknolust, Strange Culture) has collected a plethora of interviews with her contemporaries—and shaped them into an intimate portrayal of their fight to break down barriers facing women both in the art world and society at large. With a rousing score by Sleater-Kinney's Carrie Brownstein, !W.A.R. features Miranda July, The Guerilla Girls, Yvonne Rainer, Judy Chicago, Marina Abramovic, Yoko Ono, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, B. Ruby Rich, Ingrid Sischy, Carolee Schneemann, Miriam Schapiro, Marcia Tucker and countless other groundbreaking figures.

Planning your meals in advance will help you to manage your money more effectively. Knowing what you are going to eat through the week will mean that you don't buy food unnecessarily – plus you will be in a better position to make some tasty meals instead of the usual last-minute beans on toast.
Planning all of your meals for the week will take some time, and the best way to do it is to download one of the many free meal-prep apps that are available. The Food Planner app allows you to import your favourite recipes before you plan for the week ahead, which puts you in a good position to create a cost-effective shopping list.
When products are nearing the end of their shelf lives, supermarkets will drop the prices to encourage people to buy them. Fortunately, most of these food items will still be fresh and ready to use – which is where you step in. Buying reduced items rather than the 'fresher' products could cut the cost of your shop in half, leaving you with more money to spend on socialising with friends.
It's not just supermarkets where you can bag yourself a last-minute bargain. Find out where your local farmers' market is and you could get yourself some fresh produce for a fraction of the price. Generally, vendors will try their best to shift any fresh fruit and veg in a few hours, so if you time your visit to go in the late afternoon, you could get your 5-a-day for less.
When you're at college, you and your housemates are one big happy family, so why does it have to be any different when it comes to the weekly shop. You'll find that if you all contribute the same amount of money to a shopping fund, you will save on the perishable items because there's less waste. Think about it: there's no point having several loaves of bread in the cupboard when you're only going to eat a few slices yourself.
If you're sharing the food, then you may as well eat together too. If you and your pals make enough food to feed the whole house, then you're bringing down the wastage, saving you money in the long run.
Chicken is the most versatile meat that you can use, making it a staple in households all over Ireland. Fortunately, bargain-supermarket chains sell whole chickens for a fraction of the cost that you might pay in the larger chains. You can then use this to make a wide range of meals throughout the week – in fact, one chicken can provide you with not one, not two, but five different dinners!
From curry to casserole, you'll be equipped to make enough food to get you through the week, and if you effectively pair this with the other tips on this list, then you'll be able to do it for minimal spend.
The chicken trick is useful if you're a meat-eater, but it's worth noting that things like chicken, beef, and lamb will still be the most expensive parts of your weekly shop. Cutting these out of your diet completely is a great way to save money, and because you won't be forking out for meat, you'll have money to spend elsewhere.
You can keep up-to-date with some delicious vegetarian recipes by downloading cookery apps such as Green Kitchen and Vegetarian Society. Remember, you can use these recipes with your food planner app to make sure you're saving money when it comes to do your weekly shop!
Buying lunch each day can add up, and even the supermarket meal-deals can become expensive if you get into the habit of making them your only lunch option. One way around this is to make your lunch at home, because this way you're only paying for the raw ingredients that go into it and not the packaging and preparation – which is how the supermarkets justify charging more.
If you want to save even more money on your lunch, you can make a big batch all in one go and eat the same thing throughout the week, rather than having different meals each day. For example, you can use stock cubes and any leftovers that you might have to make soup, which should sustain you for the next few days.
If you're new to college life, it can be difficult to adapt to managing a student budget, but over time you'll pick up on some useful ways to keep costs low. Take a look at our blog for more useful tips on how to make the most of your time as a student.

7 Things Only Someone Dealing With Infertility Understands
By Karen Cicero
adam gault/getty images
Imagine the irony: You spend most of your young adult life trying not to get pregnant. Then when you're ready to be in the pink or blue, month after month that stupid pregnancy test says no. That's the reality for the 1 in 8 couples who have trouble conceiving. Yep, it's that many. Don't think you know anyone? Take it from someone who hid it from most of her friends—they're just not telling you. Keep these facts in mind should they choose to confide.
1. It can be cheaper to buy a Mercedes.
Infertility medications and procedures are absurdly expensive (on average $11,000 and up per attempt for in vitro fertilization, aka IVF), and you're in the minority if your health insurance picks up any of the tab. Only 27% of businesses with more than 500 employers cover IVF, according to the consulting firm Mercer. And just 15 states have any laws pertaining to whether health plans must offer coverage for any infertility procedures or medications (go to the National Conference of State Legislators at ncsl.org to get details for your state).
"I stopped counting how much we spent when we reached $50,000," says Lisa Newton, a blogger at amateurnester.com, who has attempted IVF three times. While most couples with infertility trouble don't have to go as far as IVF to conceive, even less-complex treatments such as fertility drugs combined with intrauterine insemination (a procedure in which sperm is injected directly in the uterus, bypassing the cervix and giving it a head start to reach the egg) run a couple of thousand dollars per try.

2. Monthly disappointment is the norm.
IVF is the most drastic—and most successful—fertility procedure. But it's far from a guarantee. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compiles success rates from fertility centers nationwide into one massive annual report: The latest one shows that 40% of IVF attempts in women under age 35 using their own fresh embryos (as opposed to ones frozen from a previous attempt) resulted in a birth, but that happy outcome dwindles to 11% in 41- and 42-year-olds.
"You hear a lot about the infertile couple who tried and tried and then adopted a child only to get pregnant naturally," says Lindsley Lowell, who has been trying to have a baby for 5 years. "Those are 1 in 10,000. These stories make it impossible for people to really know how hard infertility is and that thousands of women never reach their goal."

3. The marching orders are complicated.
Forget to take your heartburn medicine after dinner one night? Oh, well. But missing a dose of fertility meds or taking them at the wrong time can be disastrous. Timing is everything because the drugs cause the release of hormones that regulate or trigger ovulation. If you botch the medication schedule your doctor gave you, your eggs might not be ready to be retrieved (in the case of IVF) or you might not have your intrauterine insemination when you have the best chance of success. "I started with one injection in the morning and then added two in the evening," says Monica Higgins, who underwent fertility treatments on and off for 3 years. "You're typically given a 1- to 2-hour window, but I always made it a point to do it within 15 minutes of my set time. And before my egg retrieval for IVF, I have to take an injection at midnight."

4. Telling us to "just relax" is easy for you to say!

While stress reduction techniques may help women struggling with infertility to cope emotionally, they're not going to produce the elusive pregnancy bump. "It's hard not to slap the person who says, 'Just relax and it will happen,' " admits Lowell. "Relaxing is not a strategy because infertility is a disease." Better words of comfort: I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I'm here for you.
5. It's an emotional roller coaster.
Women with infertility usually start taking medications a few days after their periods start. And that's when the waiting begins. "For the next 4 weeks you get your hopes up, you dream, you wish, you tell yourself, 'It's going to happen this month,' and then when the stick says you're not pregnant or the doctor tells you your embryo didn't take, it's soul-crushing," says Laura Saltman, who has been doing fertility treatments for 3 years.

6. Plus, it's physically painful.

It hurts inside and out, as the medications have major side effects. "My ovaries were so swollen from all the egg-producing follicles that it hurt to even walk," says Higgins. "I looked 3 months pregnant, even though I wasn't." Adds Lowell: "Every day on fertility meds I feel like a dumpy, ugly sack of potatoes. Imagine the worst PMS combined with the pain you usually feel on the first day of your period."
7. Friends' pregnancy announcements are tough to hear.
JGI/Daniel Grill/getty images
"You want to be truly excited for them, but deep down it makes you hurt more for yourself," says Higgins. So don't judge a friend if she's not as enthusiastic as you'd hoped. "It's far too painful to come in contact with someone else's bliss when you're feeling broken," says Juli Fraga, PsyD, a San Francisco psychologist who specializes in treating women with infertility. So give your friend space, realizing that she may have to sit this one out, but lavish her with attention when it's her turn.

Covid 19 coronavirus: What were the movements and contacts for the Air NZ case in China?
11/23/2020 Comments Off on Covid 19 coronavirus: What were the movements and contacts for the Air NZ case in China?
An Air NZ crew member might have caught Covid-19 in New Zealand before flying to China and testing positive, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says.
"At this point of the investigation, you leave all possibilities open."
Preliminary investigations showed that the person's movements in New Zealand for the past two weeks appear to have been confined to Auckland, he said.
Their circle of close contacts also appears to be "relatively small", though he will receive a further update later this morning.
The person's positive result emerged yesterday, and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said they had tested negative on November 18 before testing positive on November 22 as part of routine testing while in China.
Ardern said the person was asymptomatic and was being tested again.
This morning Hipkins said the person had now developed mild symptoms, but the rest of the crew were still asymptomatic.
They were returning to New Zealand, and will all go into isolation when they land at about 6am tomorrow morning.
"Contact tracing has already started for the last couple of weeks for the person's time in New Zealand," Hipkins said.
"They were doing quite a busy international flight schedule during that time, so they spent a lot of time away, but we obviously look at what they were doing while they were here as well."
The person's flight schedule in the past month included flights to Australia and China, he said.
"Coming back from a higher risk place like China – they should be doing a 48-hour stand down and a negative test at the end of the 48 hours before they can go back out into the community.
"We're checking to make sure all those things have happened."
He said genomic sequencing, which has proven to be a vital tool in the Covid-19 response during recent outbreaks, would be done as soon as the crew member landed in New Zealand.
"The whole crew will be isolated and then we'll go from there."
Hipkins said work was under way, given the vaccines that continued to emerge, to decide how much of the population would need to be vaccinated before travel restrictions could be dropped.
"One of things we're looking at is percentage of the population before we can remove all travel restrictions. It doesn't necessarily have to be 100 per cent. We may never get to 100 per cent."
But he said some form of travel restrictions would likely remain in place for the next year to 18 months.
"The sooner we can remove restrictions, the better."
He added that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade was talking to other countries about an international system to have people certifiably vaccinated.
"We do need to know if someone has been vaccinated or not. We would want to know that as part of our overall protection measures. I imagine that is going to be the subject of a lot of diplomatic discussion."
Part of that could be a technology solution, he said.
The NZ Covid app could not only show whether someone had been tested and the result of that test, but could also show whether someone had been vaccinated, and by which vaccine.
"We're looking at how tech can be used for verification of test results and so on."

02 August 2018: Most people in the UK are dependent on their digital devices, and need a constant connection to the internet, following a decade of digital transformation revealed by Ofcom today.
In 2008, a top-end mobile cost around £500. Now, handsets can cost up to £1,000. This has led to fewer people being able to buy them outright, leading to a shift away from pay-as-you-go services. By 2008, 64% of mobile customers were on pay-as-you-go contracts. Ten years on, they account for just 30% of all mobile subscriptions.

Analytics can help FedEx improve shipping quality.
A pressing need to leverage massive amounts of Big Data in the name of business agility has put shipping giant Federal Express on the path toward re-engineering most of its enterprise applications.
According to FedEx CIO Rob Carter, that need to analyze events in real time has resulted in an effort to "radically" decompose monolithic vertical applications into sets of core granular services, which the company will then mash into any number of analytics applications. The ultimate goal: a matrix of IT services that functions with the speed and flexibility of a brain, freeing FedEx from a system dependent on files strewn across any number of databases kept on disk storage systems too slow to support advanced, real-time analytic applications.
"The line between memory and storage is blurring," he said. As memory becomes less volatile, it becomes more feasible to process everything in memory versus making calls to disk. Carter envisions the next generation of the company's analytics applications as capable of accessing data stored in memory, which in turn could quicken the supply chain's reaction times—for example, automatically rerouting shipments in the event of rioting in Spain or a flood in Thailand.
Carter said that FedEx already collects massive amounts of Big Data using the EMC Greenplum platform and database appliances from Teradata. As processors evolve, it's becoming more and more apparent that databases will be relegated to managing large amounts of archival storage housed on disks; predictive analytics, meanwhile, will end up driven much more by in-memory computing.
Much of FedEx's data comes from sensors, including a new SensaWare service that involves placing active sensors inside boxes containing high-value merchandise. Rather than wait to be scanned, these sensors actively send out telemetry data covering everything from the package's traveling speed to whether any light has penetrated its packaging (the latter would suggest some sort of issue has occurred).
While these sensors are too costly to place in every FedEx shipment, Carter noted that, as the cost of sensor technology drops, it could become more practical to broadly apply the technology. The real challenge, he added, is making sure the backend IT infrastructure is in place to handle all the associated data processing and storage.
Longer term, Carter expects to make all that data more readily available via application programming interfaces (APIs) that would allow customers to apply their own analytics applications against the data. Within FedEx, the company's applications are all connected to a common message bus that allows applications to publish and subscribe to any source of relevant data.
Those capabilities will prove critical as modern enterprise applications evolve to broker data between services. In fact, it's a core capability embedded in Windows 8. "This is one reason we're actually excited about a new Windows platform in a very long time," Carter said. Because the operating system now manages the brokering between sources of data, the complexity of building composite applications that access multiple data should be significantly reduced.
While there are still major challenges when it comes to delivering actionable intelligence in real time, Carter believes that FedEx can benefit from advanced analytics technologies more easily than some other businesses because its business processes are more structured; it can leverage historical data and new information in the context of a predictive-analytics application, for example, to plot a new shipping route.
In addition, Carter says that FedEx uses analytics to actively monitor social networks and video feeds, identifying customer service issues in a more proactive way. FedEx has also set up collaboration spaces through which customers can share information provided by FedEx with customers, partners and suppliers.
While next-generation analytics applications are helping drive business innovation, Carter believes that businesses must modernize their backend IT infrastructure in order to take full advantage of advanced analytics applications. That's not something that most IT organizations are going to achieve overnight. But it's pretty clear that advanced analytics are the tipping point of a transformation that extends from sensors on packages all the way to the data center.
