A quaint town with historical royal and literary links
Haslemere is the highest station on the Portsmouth Line, and the southernmost town in Surrey.
The town dates from the 13th century, but most of what you can see today was built after the arrival of the railway in 1859.
We're enormously proud of our history, which includes a Royal Charter, signed by Queen Elizabeth I, and links with literary giants such as Alfred Lord Tennyson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, George Bernard Shaw and George Eliot.

Q: True or False regarding the behavior of limits of $f'(x)$ given $f(x)$ Suppose we have a function $f:(0,\infty) \to (0,1)$ with $f'(x) < 0, f''(x) > 0$, and the two limits:
\begin{align}
\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 1\\
\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = 0
\end{align}
Then is this statement true?
$\lim_{x \to 0} f'(x)$ exists and is negative and not equal to negative infinity.
I understand that the first part must be true as f'(x) is monotone, but I'm not too sure about the second part.
Any function that I can think of ($\frac{1}{1+x}$, etc.) seem to work, and it sounds intuitively true since $f$ is approaching 0, but can't seem to be able to prove it.

A: Let $g(x)=f'(x)$, so we are given $\lim_{x\to0}g(x)=L$, and$~g(x)<0, g'(x)>0,\forall x>0$
Assume $L=0$, and pick any point $x_0>0$, where $g(x_0)=-h<0$
Since $L=0, \Rightarrow \exists \delta<x_0,~0<|x-0|<\delta\Rightarrow|g(x)-0|<h/2\Rightarrow g(x)>-h/2$
So we have $x<x_0$ but $g(x)>g(x_0)$, which conflicts with $g'(x)>0,~\forall x>0$
Similarly we can prove if $L>0$ it also gives contradictions. Therefore, $L<0$.
But $L$ could be $-\infty$, for example, you can construct a function such that $f(x)\to1-\sqrt{x}$ when $x$ is close to $0^+$ and  $f(x)\to e^{-x}$, when $x\to \infty$.

Meghan Markle's New Podcast Will Address Stereotypes Against Women
The Duchess will host "uncensored conversations" with historians and experts for her debut series 'Archetypes.'
(Image credit: Ben Birchall - WPA Pool / Getty Images)
By Lucia Tonelli
Meghan Markle is officially a podcast host! The Duchess of Sussex's first podcast series is underway, and a newly-released teaser for her forthcoming show promises to tackle women's issues head on.
Archetypes, which is the first series under her and Prince Harry's production company, Archewell Audio, aims to "dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back," focusing on gender-based stereotypes and their origins. And how clever is that name?
The one-minute audio teaser packs a punch, opening with a series of sexist remarks ("Do you have the word 'skanky' in America?" and "I was waiting for you to smile at the compliments, but you didn't"), which the Duchess goes on to describe as "how the media reflects women back to us." They're the sort of comments women receive regularly, but the Duchess is digging deeper to reveal their sinister history. She goes on to ask: "Where do these stereotypes come from? And how do they keep showing up and defining our lives?"
The Duchess is no stranger to this sort of scrutiny—public attacks made against her often target her race and gender—and she's not shying away from difficult conversations. Bringing in historians, experts, and other special guests who are well versed in a variety of subjects, Meghan will discuss an array of hot-button topics on each episode.
For fans of the Sussexes, this news is cause for celebration. The podcast launch comes over a year after Archewell Audio announced their exclusive, multimillion dollar deal with Spotify, and the ~radio silence~ led fans to wonder if a podcast was really ever coming. Then, earlier this year, Meghan and Harry were urged by fans to reconsider their deal following claims of COVID-19 misinformation on the platform, and the prospect of a new series was once again threatened. While the Duke and Duchess did respond—they urged Spotify to address issues of misinformation—they ultimately chose to maintain their deal.
An official release date for Archetypes has yet to be revealed.

Ackergill Tower, Scotland Castle Film Location Rental
Phone: 0330 XXXXXXXX
Location: Highlands, Scotland, United Kingdom
The fascinating history of Ackergill Tower
This is a castle steeped in history and immortalised in legend – if these ancient stones could talk what tales they would tell, of bloody battles and savage sieges, dastardly intrigues and mournful ghosts.
The architecture of the current castle suggests it dates from the late 15th century, circa 1475, but there seems to be little doubt that a fortification stood on this spot earlier than this.
The Clan Keith, under John Keith of Inverugie, inherited the lands of Ackergill in 1354 from the Cheynes family and the original tower may have been built by his son. It's around this time that the tower first gained its notoriety. Helen Dunn, known as the "Beauty of Braemore", was abducted on her wedding night and kept prisoner in the tower by the infamous Dugald Keith. Rather than succumb to his less than honourable advances, she leapt from the battlements. The stone on which she was believed to have fallen, and which bears her outline, can be seen nearby, while it is said her ghost still haunts the spot. The bloody feud between the Keiths and Gunns, of which this abduction was but one tragic chapter, rumbled on for another 500 years.
The estate at that time was estimated at well over 500,000 acres. Various Captains signing by the name of Keith looked after the lands in Caithness for many years, with the estate passing in direct descent for eight generations until the Battle of Flodden in 1513. It was then inherited by the Earl Marshals – but they struggled to retain it.

Former NRL College Intern Selected as Rhodes Scholar
By Dom Panciarelli
U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman 1st Class Caroline P. Barlow has been selected as a 2011 Rhodes Scholar. During a summer internship, Midshipman Barlow served at the Naval Research Laboratory's Marine Meteorology Division, Monterey, Calif. The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) reports Midshipman Barlow is the first Rhodes Scholar selectee from the academy since the 2007-2008 academic year, and the only 2011 selectee from a service academy.
Midshipman Barlow of Jacksonville, Florida, an honor's oceanography major, is currently ranked third in her class academically with a 3.94 grade point average. She was the fall semester brigade commander in charge of the approximately 4,400 member Brigade of Midshipmen. Barlow was a member of the Academy's 2009 National Collegiate Champion Coed Triathlon team. She is expected to graduate in May 2011, with a bachelor's degree in oceanography and will be commissioned an Ensign in the U.S. Navy.
According to CDR Ken Wos, military deputy at NRL Monterey, Midshipman Barlow is an impressive individual. She has a rare gift, the unlimited potential to excel as both a naval officer and a scientist.
Barlow spent a two-week internship, jointly funded by USNA and NRL Monterey, at NRL Monterey during the summer of 2010. She worked with Dr. James Doyle, Head of the Mesoscale Modeling Section, studying tropical cyclones; and was assigned as research team member of an active NRL Monterey Advanced Research (6.4) project, the Coupled Oceanographic and Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System-Tropical Cyclone (COAMPS-TC). COAMPS-TC is a Mesoscale Numerical Weather Model designed to predict hurricane and typhoon strength and movement. Barlow compared the analyzed tracks of actual tropical cyclones from the Atlantic and western Pacific with the predicted intensities and speeds generated from COAMPS-TC. Her results will be included in the ongoing work to improve the model before it becomes operational at the Navy's Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) in Monterey, Calif. Predicting the track and speed of tropical cyclones is critical to safety of ships and aircraft operating in the maritime environment, as well as people living on the coastlines around the world.
Over just a short time period, Barlow made important contributions to the research team's hurricane prediction research. She quickly learned key aspects of the hurricane numerical prediction problem, and applied her diverse background and knowledge to the research.
Doyle added, Midshipman Barlow is the brightest and hardest working undergraduate student we have had working with our group over the twelve years that I have served as the head of the Mesoscale Modeling Section.
The Rhodes Scholarship is named after Cecil Rhodes, a British businessman, philanthropist and African colonial pioneer. The scholarship is an international postgraduate award for study at the University of Oxford, Oxford, England. It was the first large-scale program of international scholarships and is recognized by many as the world's most prestigious scholarship. The Rhodes Trust pays all college and university fees, and provides each student a stipend to cover necessary expenses. The first American Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in 1904.


Unsafe Abortion, Its Determinants and Associated Factors: The Case of Malawi. A Systematic Literature Review.
INTRODUCTION: Unsafe abortion is a public health problem globally, but disproportionately affects the developing world. Interventions aimed at addressing the determinants and risk factors of unsafe abortion have proven to be effective in the reduction of unsafe abortion-related maternal mortality. Identification of determinants of unsafe abortion is important in intervention planning and implementation.
AIM: To determine whether religion, marital status and mother's level of education are related to unsafe abortion practices in Malawi, and find which categories are associated with reduction rates in seeking unsafe abortion.
METHODS: Relevant online publications were identified from selected databases, then critically appraised. Study methodologies as well as reported data were examined with focus on post-abortion care (PAC) mother's marital status, education and religion.
RESULTS: Majority of studies were cross-sectional and hospital-based. The largest proportion of PAC mothers were married, educated and Christians. Educated mothers, single or unmarried mothers are more likely to seek unsafe abortion.
DISCUSSION: Health facility and community level stigma deters unmarried women from accessing contraception and PAC services. Increased number of unsafe abortion among educated mothers (most of whom were current students) than their counterparts could be explained by the desire to remain in school. These findings could also be attributed to improved health-seeking behavior among this group in comparison with the uneducated who may not have sought care. The role of religion in influencing the likelihood of seeking unsafe abortion has not been studied in Malawi.
CONCLUSION: Complications of unsafe abortion includes heavy bleeding, infection, reproductive tract injury, and death. Abortion-related deaths account for about 23.5% of all maternal deaths in Malawi. The single or unmarried, and educated (attained at least primary education) Malawian women are more likely to have unwanted pregnancy and subsequent unsafe abortion than their counterparts.

It was not a normal day. Fog had been spreading around the city since the morning. High-rises were partially covered by them and they were getting lower and lower. Gradually they invaded the beaches silently. The sky was grey, the water was cold, and the visions were blurred. Definitely it was not one fine beach day. However when I looked at the people there, they were having their normal beach activities as if it were a sunny day; sunbathing, swimming, reading and playing. There were all enjoying and happy, and the heavy fog did not impose them any interruption. I see that these people chose to accept the situation and lived their lives as normal, be present and with hope.
Life always have unexpected things happen, which could be with difficulty, disappointment, or with sorrow. Under these situations, to my belief, it is all about how we adjust our consciousness to conceive and deal with our emotions and choose consequence reactions to get them over. Same as these people, I also choose to live my life as normal, be present and always have hope. As I know, at the end, everything are transient and they will pass and be over. I also believe, we are the one who choose how we live, and not to be told what we should live.

Exactly six years since the shutdown of the experimental IPv6 network, the 6bone [RFC 3701], 6 June 2012 marked another step toward progress in the universal deployment of IPv6. World IPv6 Launch saw major Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and Web companies around the world coming together to enable IPv6 for their products and services permanently. This launch event, organized by the Internet Society, saw regular business operations with IPv6 'on by default' become a reality around the globe. The ultimate goal is commercially supported IPv6 products and services at Internet scale by the end of 2012.
The need for IPv6 deployment and the advantages of an open, globally addressable network should be very familiar to readers of the IETF Journal. In a nutshell, the healthy future of the Internet depends on the rapid deployment of IPv6. World IPv6 Launch served to accelerate planning for some, encourage adoption for others, and helped define IPv6 as the 'new normal' for global internetworking.
In order to ensure real and lasting impacts from the initiative, strict criteria were established for the three participant categories. For access networks, a commitment to make IPv6 part of their regular business was required. This meant new subscribers getting IPv6 on by default from 6 June 2012 and no special user configuration required to access the IPv6 Internet. To enable verification of progress towards this goal, access networks were also required to be delivering 1 percent of visits to major IPv6-enabled websites over IPv6 by 6 June. The level of IPv6 usage depends on the IPv6 capabilities and configuration of home networks, so the enabled customer base needed to be greater than 1 percent to reach this target. Measurements were made by the major website participants to verify meaningful participation.
The second category of participant was home router vendors. Again, the requirement was that IPv6 become part of regular business. This meant a majority of products shipping with IPv6 on by default, meaning no user configuration is required to use IPv6. The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab provided independent verification of IPv6 interoperability.
Finally, websites wishing to participate were required to enable IPv6 access to their main website permanently, meaning IPv6-enabled users can now access their content over IPv6 without any additional configuration.
Industry leaders in all three categories of participation made early commitments to the Launch and welcomed additional commitments from others.
For more information, see http://www.worldipv6launch.org/.
http://ams-ix.net/sflow-stats/ipv6/: Evidence of doubled IPv6 traffic is seen in this monthly graph from the AMS-IX Internet Exchange.

And thus concludes the mini story (if you wanna call it that) you've been reading. Yeah it's not much, but whatevs.
I played around with Periscope this past week while I was on vacation in Florida. I'm starting to get comfortable with it. I'm sure the iPhone tripod I ordered will arrive this week, so I might try using it this weekend to show my drawing process live.
Somehow I caught a cold in Florida. It built up over the flight home. I'm miserable. My apologies for tweeting or messaging anything incoherent.
In other news… Mark Hamill tweeted a Star-Wars-themed Skitter comic this weekend! Needless to say, I was pretty happy.
MARTIN: "There he is... Jack the spider... so smug... not a concern in the world... no guilt whatsoever that he almost ATE MY CHILDREN!!! SO WHAT if he LET THEM GO? He CAN'T be TRUSTED!! He's a SPIDER!! THIS ENDS NOW!!!"
JACK: "KiYAH!... Martin! Jeez! Sorry 'bout that, buddy! You startled me! triggered my spider reflexes! Hey! I found a cocktail sword! Awesome!"


Why not extend your stay in India with three nights in Mumbai. Or, prolong your holiday on the sub-continent with a three night extension to the magical mountain Kingdom of Nepal.
Mumbai, formally known as Bombay, is often referred to as India's financial capital. Cosmopolitan, multicultural and home of the iconic Gateway of India built by the British Raj in 1924, Mumbai is also home to the world's largest movie industry, commonly known as Bollywood. Extend your holiday with a three night Mumbai extension to discover this lively city.
Extend your holiday on the sub-continent with a three night extension to the magical mountain Kingdom of Nepal. Stay in the capital of Kathmandu before exploring Kathmandu Valley including Bhaktapur and Dhulikhel. Of course, a visit to Nepal is only complete with an included scenic flight to view Mount Everest and the Himalayan mountains.


How do these LLCs work?
Collective Asset Ownership allows a small group of investors, typically 6-8 families, to acquire shares in a Limited Liability Company offered by Lifestyle Asset Group with that LLC becoming the legal owner of the vacation home.
Shareholders forward a one-time capital contribution to invest in the LLC, which ranges from $150,000 – $765,000, depending on the LLC, and these funds are combined and used to acquire the property in all cash. Thereafter, each shareholder only pays their prorated share of the actual operating costs and LLC management fees.
Shareholders of the LLC will be entitled to enjoy the property for approximately 6-8 weeks a year using simple reservation process where there are no assigned specific weeks. Rather, owners can come and go based on availability and a rotating priority reservation protocol for peak holidays and seasons. Shareholders can sponsor unaccompanied guests.
When do the shareholders get their initial capital contribution back and how is that distributed?
Depending on the LLC, the term is 6-8 years from the closing date, which mirrors the average time most people hold on to a second home. At the completion of the term, the property is sold and the shareholders will first receive back their original capital contribution plus an equal share of any gains in the value of the property that may have accrued over the years.
For example, if a property valued at $4.275m is acquired in 2018, has an 8-year LLC term, and is sold in 2026 for $5,850,000, the first distribution would be the return of $591,000 to each shareholder and then the net gains will be shared equally by the eight shareholders, each receiving an additional $140,325, for a total of $731,325.
No and here is the difference: In a fractional offering, there are several weaknesses in the model that compelled us to do something very different. First, there is simply no demand for the resale of a fractional real estate interest once you decide you want to sell. As the fractional developer earned their margins on the front end of the transaction during the fractionalization process, with markups of 50% or more on the real estate being offered, it is not uncommon for a fractional real estate owner to get back only 30%-35% of their original investment when they sell their share …if they can sell it all.
Although on the surface, our LLC structure is similar to a fractional offering as it does involve 6-8 owners of a single vacation home, creating the appearance of a 1/6th -1/8th interest, but any resemblance to a fractional product ends there.
Every commercial fractional project in the United States involves multiple units that are generally identical residences with a typical fractional project offering over 20 residences with 160 or more owners. If you own an interest in a commercial fractional project, you are very likely to stay in different residences each time you go. Each LLC, conversely, owns ONE stunning luxury residence that only 6-8 shareholders call home. We have departed 180 degrees from the commercial fractional product with hundreds of owners and dozens of residences and personalized it completely. There is nothing like this innovative option anywhere within the real estate ownership market.
The other glaring weakness of a fractional real estate product is the cumbersome, complicated and very structured reservation process. This is a necessary evil when there are 200 owners and 25 villas. As one of only select group of partners, in this example just 6, you reserve your weeks in a process where shareholder #1 (by order of commitment to invest in a property) chooses their first week, then shareholder #2 selects their first week, shareholder #3 picks their first week, and so on until shareholder #6 chooses their first week. Then, the second week of use chosen by each shareholder is in the reverse order — where shareholder #6 chooses their second week first and shareholder #1 selects in the 6th position. After these 2 weeks are selected, shareholders can make additional reservations and can do so at their leisure and in real time as the year progresses. Each shareholder will have access to the vacation property for around 6-8 weeks a year (3-4 weeks for a half share).
What do the annual costs include?
All shareholders will pay their prorated share of the annual expenses and they billed quarterly. This covers all operating expenses associated with home ownership: property taxes, insurance, utilities, homeowner association fees, miscellaneous repairs and maintenance, K-1 tax return filings for the LLC, etc.
What is my cost per night in this model?
It varies by LLC, but on average, with access for around 42 nights per year and total annual costs of $20,000 – $24,000 for ownership in a $4m house, the cost per night is only $475 – $570, which is the same cost of a single 375 square foot luxury hotel room. THAT is the undeniable magic of the Collective Asset Ownership innovation of Lifestyle Asset Group. The advantage of our "Collective Asset Ownership" model becomes quite obvious when considering the important measurement of cost per night. And to the degree that the property increases in value over the term, those increases help, if not 100% offset the annual costs during the term, potentially reducing these expenses even further. Applying a 4% appreciation on a high-end property in a sought-after vacation destination, it is possible the actual net cost per night for you to vacation in a multi million dollar home could be absolutely free.
Can I rent any unused weeks?
Yes, each LLC has a rental option for any unused weeks and receive income/credits to offset your annual fees.
Can I access the other residences of Lifestyle Asset Group?
Yes, and it adds tremendous additional value to the shareholders. Bottom line: between the other LLCs we manage and the locations within Elite Alliance, our strategic partner that is the leading exchange service provider for luxury private residence clubs around the globe, you can exchange your allocated weeks for travel to over 70 coveted destinations.
To learn more about the four and five star properties of Elite Alliance, visit www.elitealliance.com.
How do the "half shares" work?
Each LLC will admit a pre-defined number of shareholders to the LLC and shares are offered at the full share and half share level. If your time in the LLC is likely to be only 3-4 weeks a year, the half share interest is perfect. And the economics are very simple: 50% of the full share purchase price and 50% of the full share annual costs.
How is the "all cash/no debt" purchase accomplished?
No debt is permitted within the LLC. In addition to not wanting a bank as a lien holder, an all-cash deal eliminates the cost of debt service as that would sharply increase the annual costs.
Eight shares are offered at $591,000 per full share or $295,500 for a half share. The total capital raised within the LLC is $4,728,000.
A destination may require a 3% transfer fee of the purchase price, or some other tax, for example, and that is included in the share price.
Lifestyle Asset Group's subscription fee for the expertise, sales and marketing of the eight shares and efforts associated with the selection, purchase and closing of the property is 5% of the capitalization.
A reserve of $90,000 is created for post-closing improvement plans and ongoing upkeep and maintenance with any unused funds will be returned to each shareholder at the end of the LLC term.
$4,275,000 will be used for the all- cash purchase of the property, which is fully furnished, beautifully appointed, and 100% turn-key.
What are the steps in getting involved with an LLC Offering?
a) When you move forward as one of the shareholders in an LLC, you will remit by check or wire transfer a fully refundable Reservation Deposit that will be held in an escrow account. Upon the receipt of your deposit, you will be given a priority number, i.e. 1-8, that will be used in the reservation selection process, as described above.
b) You will receive the Offering Documents of the LLC which include the Operating Agreement, Subscription Agreement, Reservation and Lodging Rules, and other relevant information associated with becoming a shareholder. If you are not in agreement with any of the provisions of the agreements, you can request a full refund of your Reservation Deposit and it will be returned to you within 72 hours.
c) You can request a tour or if possible, a "discovery stay" at the property. If the house does not meet your expectations or your personal interests, your deposit will be refunded.
d) Following the approval of both the Offering Documents and the tour of the home, you will receive a funding request for the balance of the LLC share to be funded into the escrow account which can only be used for the closing of the property. Occupancy will begin shortly thereafter.
That's it. No surprises, no risks, no pressure.

Q: Hide MainActivity window in phonegap application I am developing an android app using phonegap (cordova-2.1.0).

import android.os.Bundle;
import org.apache.cordova.*;

public class MainActivity extends DroidGap {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
    }

Problem : Whenever I start the application, it shows MainActivity window first and then show the actual HTML code. Is there any way to get rid of MainActivity and show the HTML directly?
Thanks in Advance...

A: Add this to your AndroidManifest application tag:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
Should do the trick.

Lawrence Wright: Bin Laden's Death 'Long In Coming' New Yorker staff writer Lawrence Wright has spent the past 15 years of his career thinking about al-Qaida. Wright assesses what bin Laden's death means for the future of al-Qaida and the United States' relationship with Pakistan.

Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. President Obama announced the news late Sunday at the White House, calling the death of bin Laden "the most significant achievement to date" in the war against al-Qaida.
When writer Lawrence Wright heard the news of Osama bin Laden's death, his immediate reaction was one of relief. "This seemed like something that was so long in coming," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "And with all the changes that had been going on in the Arab world right now, real change — in some ways — couldn't come until this moment happened."
For the past 15 years, Wright has spent his career thinking about bin Laden and al-Qaida. He interviewed more than 500 people, including friends and relatives of bin Laden, for his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road of 9/11, and has written extensively about the terrorist group for The New Yorker.
Wright assesses what bin Laden's death means for the future of al-Qaida and America's relationship with Pakistan. He also explains why — nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — bin Laden remains such an important figure.
"Bin Laden is not irrelevant," he says. "He was important all along. Just the fact that he was able to elude capture or being killed for nearly a decade — or more than a decade, if you go back to the embassy bombings in 1998 when we first went after him — he's been a symbol of resistance and of the failure of American policy to reach out and stop this kind of terror. It emboldened other imitators all around the globe. So getting bin Laden is immeasurably important."
Wright is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of six books, including Twins: Genes, Environment, and the Mystery of Identity and City Children, Country Summer. He is also the co-writer for the movie The Siege, starring Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis. He is currently working on a script for Ridley Scott.

On martyrdom
"He will continue to live as a potent symbol. There's no question that he's going to have an enduring appeal for a number of people — not just perhaps radical Muslims but other groups that will follow the template that al-Qaida created — that's my main concern. Bin Laden is dead. Al-Qaida, eventually, will die. But the model that al-Qaida has created of an asymmetric terror group that has enormous consequences in the world well beyond the size of the group — that's going to endure. Other groups are going to try and follow that model."
On the role of the Pakistani government
"I was surprised that he was living inside an urban area, but I'm not surprised to learn that he was essentially sheltered by Pakistani intelligence and military units. I do make that assumption. I feel that for years, the Pakistani military and intelligence complex has been in the 'looking for bin Laden' business. He was a priceless asset to them because we poured billions of dollars into their pockets to try to find him. If they found him, they'd be out of business. So he was an irreplaceable asset and I think that Pakistan has a lot to answer for. This looks very incriminating. ... This gives us an opportunity to reassess exactly what our relationship with Pakistan ought to be."
On what bin Laden's capture means for him personally
"This is a burden I'm happy to take off my shoulders. I felt the call — after 9/11 it was like a mission — I felt that I had to address myself to what was, I thought, the most significant challenge we were facing as a country and certainly the biggest story I would have as a reporter. So I was ready to respond to that. But it's been a long time. For me, I started working on this when I was working on the script for The Siege in 1996. So 15 years of my time has ... been devoted to paying attention to people whose solutions for the problems they face in life are so wrongheaded and so damaging to the lives of so many others. I'm eager myself to turn the page."
Journalist Lawrence Wright's 'Trip To Al-Qaeda'

Journalist Lawrence Wright sits with several of the people he interviewed for The Looming Tower, his history of al-Qaida.
In 2007, Lawrence Wright won a Pulitzer Prize for The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, his nonfiction account of the formation of al-Qaida. The book, based on more than 600 interviews, examines the circumstances that led to the formation of al-Qaida — and the creation of Wright's one-man off-Broadway show, My Trip to Al-Qaeda. The one-man play focused on the insights Wright gained and the moral dilemmas he faced as he tried to remain objective while researching and writing his book.
A new documentary based on his play premieres Sept. 7 on HBO at 9 p.m. EDT. The film combines footage from Wright's interviews with his sources, many of whom have ties to al-Qaida, with scenes from his play — and raises several questions about the U.S. role in the "war on terror."
In an interview on Fresh Air, Wright explains how difficult it was to maintain composure and objectivity while conducting interviews with his sources.
"The most interesting part to me is that [the research] takes you into deep water that you're sometimes not prepared to be in," he says. "You're asked to sometimes get information from people who have the information. Well, the people who have the information oftentimes have blood on their hands or they have a completely different perspective on the way the world should be than you do. And sometimes that leads to real conflict: It wasn't always possible for me to behave in the professional manner that I like to comport myself. Especially in those first months after 9/11, I found myself engaged in really acrimonious, angry discussions."
Several archival clips and photographs from Wright's collection are included in the HBO documentary, including this photo of him standing with Shaffei Mohammed Helal and his son Walid Helal. Photo courtesy of Lawrence Wright hide caption

Several archival clips and photographs from Wright's collection are included in the HBO documentary, including this photo of him standing with Shaffei Mohammed Helal and his son Walid Helal.
Wright details a number of things he learned from his sources — and describes how his sources helped him understand the mentality that leads to young men becoming suicide bombers for al-Qaida.
"If you're going to pin down a single word about what is it that characterizes the drive into this radical reaction, I think a word might be despair," he says. "There are many different rivers that lead into despair: there's poverty; there's political repression; there's gender apartheid — there's a sense of culture loss; there's religious fanaticism. All of these elements are present in many different Muslim countries in varying degrees and the world is full of poor countries that don't produce terrorists. And the world is full of repressive governments that don't have violent insurgencies. But when you start mixing all of these different elements together, then you get a very combustible combination."

On trusting sources and figuring out who is telling the truth
"Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody. In the course of writing my book, I interviewed 600 people and I didn't get everybody but I got a lot of people. Some of those sources I interviewed dozens of times and I find that the more people you talk to, you get a broader range of opinion and facts than you can possibly get from any small group — but then you can go back and check things that don't square with what you heard before. So if someone told me, 'I did this,' and someone else says, 'He wasn't there,' then you go back to that source and ask them further questions. You either find out that they have no way to explain the discrepancy or there's a more interesting response than you thought you'd ever get."
On how al-Qaida managed to make suicide a holy thing
"It was actually Ayman al-Zawahiri who pioneered this. He was the very first to use suicide bombers even before the Palestinians did in his attempts on political figures inside Egypt. He even pioneered the use of martyrdom videos. And after 1996, when he had blown up the Egyptian Embassy in Islamabad — killing mainly Muslims — a lot of other Muslims were very angry with him and wanting to understand how he could justify that. So he wrote a response to their queries. He compared the suicide bombers to the martyrs of Christianity. There weren't very many examples he could draw upon from Islam because of this absolute prohibition within the Koran. And it's really ironic that it was Christian martyrs that became the basis of his argument.
"The notion is, is that you're a guided missile and the idea that you're going to be sacrificing yourself for something that's greater than you overcomes the kind of prohibition. It's sophistry. In my opinion, many people don't really pay attention to the argument. I think the young men who are drawn into al-Qaida with a goal of committing suicide have other causes driving them than simply al-Zawahiri's legalistic argument about how you can kill yourself and get away with it. I think there's almost a total ban on the idea of suicide in Muslim countries — it's completely taboo — so if you're feeling despairing and you're the type of person who in another society might want to kill yourself, how do you go about that? Well, al-Qaida offers you a route to paradise, at least they say so."

In case you haven't made it over to the Nineteen Windsor Facebook page lately, here's a recap of some of my favorites posts from the past week. I made a huge Target run and picked up a ton of cute and affordable items! And don't forget to like and follow Nineteen Windsor on Facebook to see these looks as soon as they're posted. Unfortunately, sometimes the items sell out quickly and may already be gone by the time they finally make it over to the blog. Every single one of these posts features my new favorite jeans - which are only $28 and have been the most purchased item of the week by Nineteen Windsor readers!


Is it possible that this high divorce rate actually has very little to do with fact that WM/FSUW are the subjects ?
I am guessing that 'most' such marriages are the second or more for the couples.
Here is a very good read on the reasons for higher failure rates for second, third, etc., marriages.
Our subset is a very small sampling, so tough to make a projection to the whole if this is indicative of WM/FSUW or just marriages as a whole.
Each of the couples mostly have differing reasons why their respective marriages failed. I won't be too quick to lump it as the difference in culture either as one of the couples are both Russians, albeit the guy grew up in the US but speaks Russian, and his family are deep in Russian cultural ways. One other couple was actually an American (he) and the ex-wife is Swedish.
My suspicion is that it largely has to do in coping with the rigors of 'importing' your wife unto your society and all the responsibilities that comes along with it: Money, patience, understanding, empathy, time, more patience, some more money, etc..
once a person discovers that he or she can manage a divorce, they are less scared of going through the process again.
On a similar subject..... Does this statement seem correct ?
FSU mob is probably one of the smallest set of these marriages. I would even hazard a guess there's just as many, if not more today, of ex-pats marrying FSUWs than AM.
But the larger set are from China and the Philippines and other Asian region, India, Vietnam, Thailand...then of course there's South America.
As for marriages lasting longer, USCIS have no way of keeping that record after the alien gets their citizenship.
Usually in a divorce, one or both partners are flawed. When they marry a second or third time, it doesn't change the fact they are flawed. Flawed people have a high chance of divorce.
When we get married the second time around, the single people we target tend to have been divorced themselves. Two divorcees increases the chances at least one of the two are flawed.
Does anyone understand the point BillyB is trying to make - if there is one ?
Are you saying a flawed person might chase an immature woman who couldn't have been married before - given her age - in the hope any flaws were not noted ?
I was flawed. I was very naive when getting remarried to my second wife. What I did have was excellent divorce experience in getting out of a train wreck marriage. Money is a big issue in divorce, I paid almost nothing. However my emotional suffering was the issue. I took it far, far too hard. I've had a few breakups recently with UW with no suffering at all. What I got to do now is to make sure to find the right woman (of course). And have myself ready for her. I found that out in my recent involvements. With the diabetes and being overweight I just didn't have the energy to do the tourist things and the day to day activists like shopping. I got along with them well enough. I also learned things to watch out for in selecting a woman.
The reason I sound like a young man fresh out of high school is I kind of am. I grew up in a sheltering religion (think Amish/Mormon, but not those). I got married at 19. I worked mostly alone. My friends were from that religion. And I was married for 29 years. So it all came to together to make me rather unsophisticated in regards to women.
I know this guy. I know him very well. I have sat in his living room many times and at his dinner table. I used to rent from him. He was married to a Ukrainian woman, before that to a Belorussian woman. Before that, to 3 American women. So divorced 5 times. Last time I heard he is hot on getting a 20 something Filipina. After knowing him about 12 years I finally defriended him. The guys was strongly passive aggressive. He could be so nice one moment then snap cut you to the quick, next. His son after breaking up with girlfriend, and taking it very hard, decided to disappear. He knew his father would say cutting things to him. So this is a guy I would consider flawed. Me? No, I'm just stumbling around trying to figure things out like most of us.
If that is true it is really scary. I seen a news story with a man I know. A retired I.C.E. agent name John Sampson. He and the people he is working with did a F.O.I.A. request to the USCIS for the stats on how many immigrant women and men filed abuse petitions of their American spouses. In the last 10 years over 84 thousand have. An immigration attorney that used to post here (He died some years back, Livingston?) tell me that his and his fellow immigration attorneys believe a marriage ending before the 2 years are up there is a 90% probability she/he will make the claim of abuse.
Usually I don't make such a post. The reason why is because they never get commented on. So why waist my time? It is a subject people don't want to discuss.
I don't think people who get divorced are any more flawed than people who do not get divorced.
I believe that also. I've seen some pretty messed people that have never been divorced.
As for marriages/divorce, I used to be resigned to the notion that humans are just not wired to stay with one partner in its lifetime. Few hot-blooded creatures do, but didn't believe we were one of them. Believe it or not, this is more true with women than it is for men, IME. In all walks of life.
Always remember, for every cheating man, there's always a woman beneath him.
I think this reality is greatly attributable to the high number of divorces as much, if not more, than anything else.
The more flaws a person has, the greater the chance everybody wants to get away from that person including their spouse. People can put up with a little imperfection from their spouse and stay married but if there's too many issues to deal with, they aren't going to want to deal with it for a lifetime.
Most Hmong marriages are very similar because most hmong men are wire similarly in their understanding of a woman's needs or women in general. Maybe because they came from the same pool/cultures. AND a woman fools herself thinking she'll find someone different by replacing the old w/ the new only to find herself back to the same old marriage she left. If that's the case - why divorce in the first place. To really change a marriage - don't marry a hmong man. That's what i'm thinking.
seen any data on such marriages.

Q: NodeJS Shared Objects without instantiating multiple times I have a class that executes CRUD operations in my NodeJS app. It is designed to queue operations and execute them sequentially. As of now, I am using this class in multiple other files, and as a result, there are multiple instances of it, each with their own separate queue.
My goal is to be able to share the same queue across all other modules without having multiple instances, so that all of the CRUD operations are sequentially executed in the order they are called.
//SomeFile.js
var data = new CRUDQueue();
data.addRecord(someRecord); //Pushes an add operation to the internal queue

//SomeOtherFile.js
var data = new CRUDQueue();
data.deleteRecord(someRecord); //Pushes a delete operation to the internal queue

Is there a way I can share the same CRUDQueue object across both of these files? Preferably without using global or passing it to the constructor?

A: Since NodeJS has modules caching, same instance of the object is returned every time you import by using require. But the trick is you have to export the instance instead of the class.
Here's an example:
crude-queue.js
class CRUDQueue {

    constructor (){
        console.log('constructor called'); // will print only once
        this.list = [];
    }

    addRecord (item){
        this.list.push(item);
    }

    deleteRecord (key) {
        var index = this.list.indexOf(key);
        if(index > -1){
            this.list.splice(index, 1);
        }
    }
}

var q = new CRUDQueue(); // this is crucial, one instance is created and cached by Node
module.exports = q;

main.js
var crudQueue = require('./crud-queue');
crudQueue.addRecord('apple');
crudQueue.addRecord('banana');

some-other-file.js
var sameInstanceOfCrudQueue = require('crud-queue');
sameInstanceOfCrudQueue.deleteRecord('apple');

yet-another-file.js
var thirdImportQueue = require('crud-queue');
console.log(thirdImportQueue); // prints ['banana']

From above, we can see that same instance of CRUDQueue is being used while performing operations on different files.


In this video, students at the Lata Voyaging School lash the riser box onto a traditional Te Puke voyaging canoe using coconut fiber cordage.
Lata Voyaging School includes 54 men, 35 women, over 70 children, including 33 full time students. The students are young people who have no employment options and who are learning good work habits and practical skills. They labored 14,208 hours to complete this Te Puke, which will be named Vaka Causey at the launching, in honor of one of our generous donors. When there is good weather we will make sea-trials and train crew members for Holau Vanuatu – the long voyage from Taumako to Vanuatu.
We need support urgently to buy rations for the crew and materials to build a shelter for the canoe, a solar system to light it up, and a laptop and BGAN unit to bring educational materials and basic communications to our islands. Our aim is to welcome and teach everyone who wants to learn the ancient arts of Polynesian voyaging.
Please join our crew and donate what you can by clicking here, or by using the Paypal button at the bottom of this page.

What's wrong with my code ? Why don't I get the same results as the javascript code ?

A: Actually, your Javascript code has an Error - if the error is fixed, then your JS code breaks, returning the original string, just as your Python code does.
if (g < 0 || typeof h[j][g] == "String") is NOT behaving as you expected:
typeof h[j][g] == "String")  should be
if (g < 0 || typeof h[j][g] == "string")
(note uncapitalized string).
In fact the mistaken typeof h[j][g] == "String"), is actually the equivalent of
if (g < 0) {...
If you change that line in both versions of your code, you get the desired results in JS, and ALMOST the desired results in Python (which has another error).

Javascript version
Change  :
var g = getOffset(d.charCodeAt(a));
    if (g < 0 || typeof h[j][g] == "String") {     #THIS LINE IS INCORRECT
        b += f
    } else {
        b += h[j][g]
    }

To:
var g = getOffset(d.charCodeAt(a));
    if (g < 0){                       # CHANGE THIS LINE
        b += f
    } else {
        b += h[j][g]
    }

JS Result:
/ShowUrl-a_partnerKey.1-a_url.http%253A__5F____5F__2F__5F____5F____5F____5F__2F__5F____5F__www__5F____5F__2E__5F____5F__danielnyc__5F____5F__2E__5F____5F__com__5F____5F__2F__5F____5F__-a_urlKey.915edf949f66c826c.html

Python version
Change:
 g = getOffset(ord(d[a]))
 if g < 0 or type(h[j][g]) is str:    # THIS LINE IS INCORRECT
     b = b + f
 else:
     b = b+str(h[j][g])
     print b                          # THIS LINE SHOULD BE REMOVED

To:
 g = getOffset(ord(d[a]))             # CHANGED THIS LINE
 if g < 0:
     b = b + f
 else:
     b = b+str(h[j][g])
     #print b                         # REMOVED THIS LINE

Results in:

Final PYTHON Fix
Now, You have another Python Error..
When using for a in .. construct, you cannot internally change the value of a, as in the line: a = a + 1.
Well, you can, but that will lead to unexpected results.
Each time the for a in.. top of the loop is reached, a will increment to the next value it would have had, regardless of what value you temporarily changed it to within the loop !!
Hence, (2, 'M'), (7, 'Z'), ... were not skipped, and you had intended!
This is why the Python result I showed above has a few more characters than you expected.
See these SO answers for great explanations and examples, and python docs here, or this closed SO question.
The easiest way to convert your code in this case is to simply use a while loop instead of a for in loop.  This way, the your inner logic remains essentially the same for both languages.
CHANGE:
 #for a in range(len(d)):     ## Remove and Change this to a WHILE loop as below
  a = 0                       #  Manually initialize your loop
  print(len(d))
  while a < len(d):           # Use WHILE loop instead
    j = d[a]

    ...

AND..
    ...

    g = getOffset(ord(d[a]))
    if  g < 0 :                   # Remember to UPDATE This Line (Remove #or type(h[j][g]) is str:)
        b = b + f
    else:
        b = b + str(h[j][g])
        #print b                  # REMOVE this line

    a = a + 1                     # Manually increment your WHILE loop
  return b

Triple Chick
CUSTOM COAST CARS :: Non-Car related
by kosovohp on Sat Nov 06, 2010 11:51 pm
Chicado V's first foal was Triple Chick, who was fathered by Three Bars, a 1955 brown stallion. Triple Chick was unraced,[3] but he remains number 48 on the AQHA's All Time Leading Broodmares Sire List By Winners, a listing of maternal grandsires of race horses arranged by the number of wins their grandget, or grandchildren, have won as of the end of 2007.[21] Her next foal was War Chic, a 1956 sorrel stallion, who was rated AAAT on the racetrack. He was also a stakes winner, and won 12 out of 21 starts with earnings of $35,453 ($257,826 as of 2010). War Chic was named Champion Two-Year Old Colt in 1958. Chicado V's next foal was a mare, named Table Tennis, who won two stakes races, as well as eight other races, out of 35 starts, with an AAAT rating and $35,197 ($255,964 as of 2010). She was named Champion Three Year Old Filly in 1960. Chicado V's fourth foal was Three Chicks, a 1959 brown stallion, and a full sibling to Triple Chick. Three Chicks won two stakes races, along with one other race in ten starts. He was rated AAAT on the track as well as earning an AQHA Champion award in the show ring after his racing career was over. His total race earnings were $22,625 ($160,768 as of 2010).[3] Three Chicks remains number 42 on the AQHA's All Time Leading Broodmare Sires By Winners.[21]

Home / United States / A dog named Riley saw a bear in his neighbor's garden in New Jersey. He was not afraid
A dog named Riley saw a bear in his neighbor's garden in New Jersey. He was not afraid
A man from New Jersey is ready to offer special treatment to his neighbor's dog after he has rushed to his garden to hunt a bear.
The security camera from Mark Stinziano's backyard captured the video of a bear who had spilled a bird feeder and ate the contents. The dog, Riley, then appears in the frame after passing through the fence of Stinziano. It charges and collides with the bear and relentlessly hunt out of the garden.
Stinziano posted the video on Facebook on Tuesday and said that Riley was a dog who "comes to watch the kids from time to time". The video was viewed about 9,000 times Wednesday night.
"I was working in the garage," Stinziano said in an interview with WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. "My wife was inside watching TV and the bear was back for a snack."
He added that he did not know that the bear was in his yard.
Alan Tlusty, the owner of Riley, said his dog "chases the bear whenever he sees it in the yard … but not like that."
Stinziano said that he was buying a steak dinner at Riley.
"Riley-1, Bear-0" wrote Stinziano on Facebook.
