Gulf of Aden Security Review
A regularly updated review of both Yemen and the Horn of Africa covering topics related to security, governance, and militant activity.
Yemen: Coalition spokesman announces final stages of major combat operations; al Houthi forces fire on Saudi town of al Tuwal; coalition warplanes strike military base outside Sana'a; coalition helicopters reportedly target AQAP convoy in Abyan; three militants prematurely detonate suicide bomb in Aden; UN Secretary General condemns March 15 airstrike on Hajjah market
Horn of Africa: Suspected ISIS militant claims northern Somali tribes pledge to ISIS; Al Shabaab claims responsibility for March 15 attacks in Jubbaland; suspected al Shabaab militants target SNA checkpoint in Mogadishu with grenade; Puntland Defense Forces clash with al Shabaab militants in Suuj, Bari region
Yemen Security Brief
Saudi-led coalition spokesman General Ahmed al Asiri announced on March 16 that the coalition is in the final stages of its major combat phase in Yemen. The general said that subsequent phases will focus on stabilization and reconstruction. He warned against a premature withdrawal, citing Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya as cautionary tales. Asiri affirmed that the coalition would continue to support ground troops in the fight against al Houthi forces and allied troops loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. He also said that the border area remains largely quiet following tribal mediation last week, though he acknowledged that al Houthi-Saleh forces launch cross-border attacks "from time to time."[1]
Al Houthi forces reportedly fired shells into the Saudi town of al Tuwal in Jazan province on March 16, injuring a local resident. The attack likely violates the unofficial border ceasefire between Saudi Arabia and the al Houthis. Al Houthi forces also launched rockets into al Tuwal on March 9. The coalition warned against further breaches but continued its negotiations and humanitarian operations with al Houthi and tribal officials.[2]
The Saudi-led coalition launched two strikes on al Hafa base just outside of Sana'a on March 17. The strikes are the closest reported to the capital since similar strikes on March 10. Coalition airstrikes on the capital Sana'a have fallen since the beginning of the border ceasefire, though the coalition continues its campaign in the districts surrounding Sana'a and across Yemen's frontlines.[3]
Coalition helicopters carried out strikes on vehicles carrying suspected al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) militants along the Aden-Abyan road in southern Yemen on March 16, according to reports. The vehicles were reportedly traveling between Aden and Zinjibar. AQAP has held Zinjibar since December 2015 and also operates in Aden, though recent coalition-backed operations have aimed to clear militants from the city.[4]
Three would-be suicide bombers inadvertently detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) at one of the militants' homes in Aden's northern Dar Sa'd district on March 16, killing all three. Security forces investigating the explosion at found instruction manuals believed to have been produced by al Qaeda, as well as various kinds of military equipment. The militants' affiliation, if any, remains unconfirmed. Dar Sa'd lies approximately 20 kilometers south of al Hawta, Lahij governorate, which AQAP has controlled since late January.[5]
UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon condemned the coalition's March 15 airstrike on a market in northeastern Hajjah governorate on March 16. He warned that any intentional attack on civilian target could constitute a violation of international law, and called on all parties to bring the conflict to a halt and resume negotiations. The UN has highlighted potential violations of international law on both sides of the conflict in Yemen and seeks to coordinate high-level talks among Yemen's warring parties.[6]
Horn of Africa Security Brief
A self-described Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) militant allegedly operating in Yemen claimed that multiple Somali tribes in northern Somalia's Golis Mountain region have declared support for ISIS. The militant, an alleged former al Shabaab member known as Abu Osama Somali, also expressed support for pro-ISIS religious leader Abdul Qadir Mumin, whose cell reportedly defected from al Shabaab to ISIS last year.[7]
Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for two attacks that occurred in Somalia's Jubbaland region on March 16 via pro-al Shabaab social media accounts. The group claimed to kill at least three soldiers during an attack on Afmadow and 10 soldiers during an ambush on a Kenyan Defense Forces (KDF) convoy. The Kenyan government claimed that KDF soldiers killed 19 militants during the March 16 Afmadow attack.[8]
Suspected al Shabaab militants targeted a Somali National Army (SNA) checkpoint with a hand grenade in Mogadishu's Bakara Market neighborhood on March 16. Witnesses also reported that SNA troops responding to the scene fired at crowds of people near the checkpoint.[9]
Puntland Defense Forces (PDF) troops skirmished with al Shabaab militants in Suuj town in the Bari region of northern Somalia on March 16 and 17, killing at least 15 militants. The governor of Nugaal region, which borders Bari, said that two PDF soldiers were killed in the same battle. Residents of villages along the Indian Ocean also reported fighter jets of unknown origin flying low over the coast. The militants involved in these clashes may have landed at Gara'ad town, which is 220 km south of Suuj, on March 14. The Puntland Autonomous State of Somalia declared a state of emergency on March 15 and its president announced that Puntland's military can defeat al Shabaab without assistance from the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).[10]

Unable to afford electronic salinity testers, most smallholder shrimp farmers in developing countries gauge the salinity of their ponds by tasting the water. This unreliable testing method often leads to a loss of more than half of the hatchery-reared, post-larvae shrimp the farmers purchase annually, using credit. They are often left with a yield incommensurate with their level of labor, holding them in a cycle of poverty.
Odyssey Sensors, in collaboration with Definium Technologies, developed and field-tested a low-cost (<$30), solar-powered, handheld salinity sensor with the potential to double smallholder shrimp farmers' crop yields and incomes, in less than one year. The novelty of the HealthyShrimp Salinity Sensor is grounded in its affordability, durability and accuracy.
One million smallholder shrimp farms in the Indian Ocean region and another 2.5 million worldwide need an affordable way to measure the salinity of their ponds, and the HealthyShrimp Salinity Sensor has the potential to rapidly double shrimp yields. Accurate pond salinity-management reduces the widespread destruction, contamination and pressure of unmeasured salt incursion on fragile ecosystems (such as mangrove forests) and fertile farmland.

Panasonic makes headlines at Media School
The Danish School of Media and Journalism replaces existing Panasonic HD camera equipment with the 4K UX series across journalism school
Students at one of Denmark's leading media schools are enjoying extra clarity thanks to a campus wide upgrade to the cameras used as part of the University curriculum.
The Danish School of Media and Journalism is a training and knowledge centre for the media and communications sector with a focus on talent, lifelong learning and innovation.
It is Northern Europe's largest centre for journalism training and skills, with more than 1300 course participants and students.
In total four classes within the university are making use of the latest additions to Panasonic's professional 4K camera line up, the AG-UX90 and AG-UX180 - two cost effective, high-power zoom, integrated lens camcorders.
Successors to the company's AVCCAM series of professional AVC HD camcorders, the UX premium model (AG-UX180), is equipped with a 1 type MOS sensor, optical 20x zoom and UHD 60p recording capability, while the UX standard model (AG-UX90), features a 1-type MOS sensor, optical 15x zoom and UHD 30p recording.
Both feature a rugged design for heavy duty field use. Hans Norgaard -Technical Manager for the TV and Radio Department said, "We have used Panasonic HD camcorders for the past six years with great success, so when it came to replacing them I was keen to continue using the brand.
"We have students, who arrive on day one having very little experience of using cameras and we have students in their final year of study, having spent 18months working in industry, who are incredibly skilled camera operators.
"Support on the old cameras was excellent, and I hope we get the same going forward."
The University purchased 20 of the AG-UX90 and seven AG-UX180 from Panasonic partner MedieTek, with the UX180 used for the final year projects that the students need to deliver - usually documentary films, lasting upwards of 25 minutes.
"The cameras are accessible to both groups, you can use the manual mode if people have a good knowledge, while the auto settings are easy to use for first timers," adds Hans Norgaard.
"The feedback we have received on the auto iris, auto focus and auto white balance has been overwhelmingly positive. The students like that both cameras have a better depth of field to what they were previously using, so that they were able to create more professional looking, cinematic films."
Top class service
Service quality was also an important factor for the University. MedieTek looked after smaller repairs in Denmark, with any more complex service needs met at Panasonic's European service centre in Cardiff.
Panasonic offers a faster turnaround time for business, with five-day turnaround times (TAT) from collection to delivery.
"The students like that both cameras have a better depth of field to what they were previously using, so that they were able to create more professional looking, cinematic films"
"Support on the old cameras was excellent, and I hope we get the same going forward," added Hans Norgaard. "That's why we looked carefully at build quality, when something isn't your own, you don't treat it as well, so a fast service turnaround time was very attractive."
"We also conducted side by side testing with a competitor product and we found the UX series had a certain quality we were looking for, firstly the picture quality is great but also the user buttons are placed more ergonomically. We have a lot of beginners, so this an intuitive design is important."
Henrik Laier, from Panasonic distribution partners MedieTek said, "Danish School of Media and Journalism was the first to buy the camera as it had only just been launched and since then the UX series has been very popular among higher education institutions.
"But overall, we are seeing a dip in demand for camcorders, as many universities are playing around with mobile. From what we've seen though, once you buy the additional sound equipment you need, the price becomes equivalent to a good camcorder, which will ultimately deliver a far better final product and prepares students for the actual technology they would ultimately use on the job."

Has anyone removed the "tacky" wood like dash from their RoadTrek? I have read it is just double sided tape but trying to not make a mess and would like to learn from anyone else that may have done this already?
This past weekend I did swap out the dash "tray" which came with our Agile for a dash "box" like many of you have. I know these are standard on many vehicles. While at it I convinced my wife to let me remove the "tacky" fake-wood dash kit that was on way to many places. Honestly, the stock looks so much better to me than the fake stuff that RT used.
Anyway, the box swap was super simple. Essentially pop off the radio bezel. Two screws above the radio, two more on each of the vent covers. Remove the 2 vent covers to expose the final 2 screws holding the old tray in place.
Still chasing some of the glue residue but will get it all off next weekend. All and all not a very difficult job.

Devialet has kindly sent us the Phantom Reactor 900 to try out and we were just blown away by its sound. Do not be quick to judge the small form factor of the Reactor – it is powerful, really powerful! Check out our full review for more information.
You can connect to your Phantom Reactor in a variety of ways. It supports WiFi, LAN, Bluetooth and a 3.5mm input.
When sending a signal to a device (here the Reactor), there is usually something we call a "buffer" that acts like a protection to let your device process the information. This avoids any potential cuts in the sound from occuring. This latency is fixed around 200ms by default on the Reactor.
But for video, you need the lips to be in sync as much as possible to the audio. The best way to do that is to put a latency on the image. This is to retain the buffer on the audio device while still having a smooth experience. Or you can reduce the buffer by activating the AV-sync mode on the Reactor. But by doing that, you reduce the stability of the Reactor.
Activating the AV-sync mode reduces the buffer to 60ms – still a bit high but acceptable.
TLDR; The audio quality itself is not changed. Only the stability, so overall the experience might be only marginally weakened.
The Devialet Phantom Reactor is now available across Devialet stores around Singapore.
Phantom Reactor 900 – SGD$2,390.


Scott Brown captured a key US Senate seat, in a massive blow to the president.
US president Barack Obama's party lost the key Senate seat.
The seat had been held by liberal champion Ted Kennedy for nearly 50 years.
Brown beat Democrat Martha Coakley in Tuesday's special Senate election in Massachusetts.
The loss was a stunning embarrassment for the White House. It also signalled big political problems for the president's party this autumn when House and Senate are up for election.
With Brown's victory in Massachusetts, Senate Democrats lost the 60-vote supermajority needed to achieve Obama's top goals.
That could spell doom for the health care bill and make it more difficult to pass legislation on climate change and other top White House priorities.
Republican US Senator-elect Scott Brown celebrates his win.
The vote bodes poorly for Democrats ahead of November's congressional elections. If they cannot win in a Democratic stronghold, defending Kennedy's seat against a relatively unknown state senator like Brown, they could be vulnerable almost anywhere.
The election highlighted the dramatic reversal for Democrats one year after the euphoria of Obama's January 20, 2009, inauguration as the first black US president.
Voters frustrated by high unemployment, bank and car industry bailouts, spiralling federal budget deficits and partisan wrangling over health care.
Brown's victory was the third major loss for Democrats in statewide elections since Obama became president. Republicans won governors' seats in Virginia and New Jersey in November.

Q: Different homepage for logged and logged-out users I use PHP for my project and need to display different pages for users who logged in and those who are not. One solution is to check if session is set if(isset($_SESSION['id'])) and if it is, include the one page, and if not, include another.
Example: index.php
<?php
    if(!isset($_SESSION)){
        session_start();
    }

    if(isset($_SESSION['id']))
        include 'logged_home.php';
    else
        include 'unlogged_home.php';
?>

But I think it's a bad SEO technique since the index file doesn't have any metadata, title, and keywords. I don't think Google would crawl to unlogged_home.php and get all the keywords from there.
What is the best solution to display different content in index.php based on whether the session is set or not?
Thanks!

A: Include is not a redirect. As far as Google is concerned, you are only serving up one file - index.php.

Latest data for July 2018 show that conditions have remained tight, albeit with some easing. The average value of the FCI over the past 12 months is up by 2.7% compared with the previous 12 months. However, in July, most constituent variables decreased slightly compared with June 2018, while the overall indicator was lower by 3.7% month-on-month.


New Delhi; Congress President Rahul Gandhi and several other opposition leaders on Sunday extended their full support to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in her sit-in against the Centre over CBI move in the state, saying the happenings in Bengal were part of the unrelenting attack on India's institutions by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.
Kejriwal called Modi-Shah duo's action is against democracy.
"Spoke to Mamta didi and expressed solidarity. Modi-Shah duo's action is completely bizarre and anti-democracy," Kejriwal said.
Yadav, who also spoke to Banerjee, extended RJD's support, "BJP has not only venomous and nefarious agenda against opposition leaders but Indian Administrative Service and Police Officers. Might visit Kolkata tomorrow," he said.
"The use of the CBI as a political tool has crossed all limits as has the Modi government's misuse of institutions. A former CM having such little regard for India's federalism is shocking," he said.
"It does a drama to act now, after 5 years, and TMC leadership responds by staging a drama to protect its corrupt. This drama in Kolkata by BJP and TMC is not a fight for any principle but only to save their corrupt and hide their corruption. CPI(M) has fought both these undemocratic, corrupt, communal and dictatorial regimes in the Centre and the state and will continue to do so," he said.

Matthew N. Lyons takes readers on a tour of neonazis and Christian theocrats, by way of the patriot movement, the LaRouchites, and the alt-right. Supplementing this, thematic sections explore specific dimensions of far-right politics, regarding gender, decentralism, and anti-imperialism. His final chapter offers a preliminary analysis of the Trump presidential administration relationship with far-right politics and the organized far right's shifting responses to it. Both for its analysis and as a guide to our opponents, Insurgent Supremacists promises to be a powerful tool in organizing to resist the forces at the cutting edge of reaction today.
Matthew N. Lyons has been writing about right-wing politics for over 25 years. He writes regularly for Three Way Fight, a radical anti-fascist blog, and his work has also appeared in The Guardian, New Politics, Socialism and Democracy, teleSUR, Upping the Anti, and other publications. He is co-author Right-Wing Populism in America and author of Arier, Patriarchen, Übermenschen: die extreme Rechte in den USA.

The major problem during filming is to record properly those sounds which are pertinent to the film, and to eliminate those sounds which are not. The mechanical ear of the microphone is entirely different from the human ear through which we hear sounds. The microphone picks up every sound within it's range, whereas the human masks certain sounds which he does not wish to hear.
For example: Imagine that you and a friend are in a spacious, busy restaurant. As you talk to each other, you are aware only of your friend. You tune out the chatter of the patrons, the shuffling of feet, the scraping of chairs, and the clatter of dishes.
The microphone is not capable of such tuning-out. It's entirely mechanical and the track would record only a confusion of voices, shuffling and clattering. Neither the voice of your friend nor the voices of the crowd would predominate.
When filming your webshow, your job is also to eliminate the uneccesary noise. And every time there is extraneous noise, the scene must be shot all over again.


Last night was the parents' information meeting regarding our soon-to-be kindergartners from the Class of 2020 (how's that for making you feel old – and I usually refer to myself as a girl… but that? I mean, that aged me about ten years just hearing that). Given that I would have put The Princess in Kindergarten last year if they'd have let me, I'm very excited about this fall, and very excited as she begins her school journey.
Hubby and I enter the little multipurpose room (thank goodness they didn't make us sit in the kindergarten sized chairs!), and start counting faces of people WE went to school with. We live in the same small town we went to school in (though, I have to point out because it's really worth noting: I didn't move to Michigan until I was 13, and so I didn't start out my school career with the same folks I graduated with – as Hubby did). As people filed in, a girl that was one of my closest friends in high school (and a college roommate for roughly 3 months before she moved back in with her mom) sat down next to me. We had been so close. Really – she was like family to me for a time… But… I had NOTHING to say to her. All we have in common now are where we've been, and the fact that our kids are going into kindergarten together.
A few more people shared a few more details, and then we were released to roam the halls, interrogate the teachers, and scope out the classrooms. I notice my old friend hovered in a group with the same folks she has always hovered in groups with. And to be honest, it made me remember what these people were like when they were sixteen and seventeen and from just looking at them, it didn't seem that they had changed too much.
That WORRIES me. These are the folks I'm going to be in PTA meetings with (because you know I am SO joining the PTA). These are the folks I'll be sitting on sidelines with at sporting events. When it comes time to plan the Senior Party (you know, in the year 2020)… It's these people I'm going to be arguing about stupid party decorations with. Cringe. In the thirteen years since we've graduated, they haven't seemed to change at all, and I can only hope that they all MOVE.
So, I've been looking at my calendar for May and realize that each weekend is already booked with an activity and I only anticipate that getting worse as invitations to graduation open houses start trickling in (several graduating cousins this year on both my side and Hubby's). In the midst of the already planned events and holidays, I have to try to plan The Princess's FIFTH BIRTHDAY party.
Should this be the year I plan a hundred games for Hubby to coordinate for the kids? The party will likely be the day AFTER the recital (I am not COMPLETELY out of my mind!). I have thought of keeping it VERY simple – taking The Princess and two or three of her friends to see "Shrek 3" and going out for ice cream. I don't know if that will satisfy her: she keeps talking about a princess party (but she seems only to be inviting boys – I'm sure they'll dig that).
I really hate the birthday party madness. We have been to some awesome kids' parties this year – but to be honest, Bounce Parties, frou frou stuff… it's NOT my thing. I don't want to compete in the birthday Olympics – I just want my kid to have fun and for my furniture to stay intact.
(I know I should just dredge up my post from last year at this time… but humor me… she's going to be five – and she's an old five, like five going on fifteen).
Saturday, after I spent 30 minutes wielding a curling iron, The Princess's hair was back to straight/slight curl at the end by the time we reached the dance studio for her pictures. I admit, she looked absolutely adorable in her SEVENTY DOLLAR leotard, and I didn't tart her up with too much makeup – some blush, a tad bit of mascara, and once I got to the studio, the required lipstick (which is Salsa Red by Mary Kay – which I can only describe as garish on a four-year-old – fine for, say, Gwen Stefani… on MY kid? It was a touch creepy).
Some of the moms went all out on the hair and makeup thing. There was a girl who was about three who had the bright red mouth painted on. Seriously… scary.
We commiserated in whispers for a few moments (it was fairly clear we were in the minority on the whole tarting-up-of-the-daughters thing), and it was a relief to know that I am NOT the only one feeling drained dry by the recital crud. Which is good to know.
If I don't get seven consecutive hours of sleep soon, someone may end up losing an eye (and by virtue of age, I think it will be Hubby).
I was up THREE times last night. That isn't including the several times both girls were up from the time we tucked them in to the time I went to sleep. I really REALLY hate teething.
The Princess has been in dance class since the fall, and as we are winding down for the year, we are getting close to the yearly recital. Since we are dance class virgins, this is also our first recital experience, and I have to say, the whole thing makes me glad beyond belief that The Princess has already elected to return to gymnastics in the fall (as well as making Hubby happy by giving soccer a try). Dance class is scary.
The class itself costs no more than a typical class – I've found that all dance schools, all gymnastics classes, in our area, well, they tend to cost the same each month. HOWEVER, her dance class has a dress code. Pink leotard, pink tights, special type of ballet shoe, special type of tap shoe (versus gymnastics – wear what you can move in, no footwear needed). Already, the expenses were adding up from day one. Now, closer to the recital, we had to shell out $75 for a recital costume and t-shirt (yes, I'm aware that spending $75 on a puny leotard and a t-shirt that probably cost the studio $5 is asinine – I can't even imagine what percent they marked that up at the parents' expense). There are hundreds of kids in the various dance classes. Hundreds of kids means thousands of parents, grandparents, siblings, friends who need to see the recital… at $12 per ticket.
But before we get to the recital, we have… Recital Pictures. Which will ring up at a pretty $45. Nice.
So, not just hair, they have VERY specific make up requirements. Right down to the color and how we apply it. My little four year old will be wearing more make up for the recital than I will wear all year. I have a big problem sending my kid out looking like some prosti-tot. I just don't think four year olds need eyeliner – I know that the "stage lights wash them out" – but seriously? They're dancing. You should be looking at their feet, and not if their eyes are defined.
Which brings me to another fun one – no underwear allowed underneath the leotard. Now, this I sort of understand, IF the costume was just a little leotard. You don't want the little undies peeking out – BUT The Princess's costume has a skirt. And to be honest, four years old is a little too early to get in the habit of "going commando". It really creeps me out that there are people in that studio thinking of this stuff.
Once we're at the recital, wouldn't it be nice to video the girls to send to far away relatives that couldn't be there? Oh, yeah. It would be. BUT (you knew there was a but), YOU CAN'T. No cameras allowed. If you bring in a video camera, they will take the tape/recording device and (this is their words): destroy it. But (once again, there's a but) you can buy THEIR DVD recording of the show at $25 a pop. Hmmm. Money-making scam, much?
Don't even get me started on the insane number of rehearsals at inconvenient times where I'm going to have to juggle my life (as well as miss my stepbrother's wedding) in order to get The Princess there.
This whole thing has me so irritated that I've been seriously biting my tongue during class. I've been sitting in that waiting room, collecting pieces of paper with rules about this and that, and I think, they are just sucking the joy out of all of this for the parents. This has ceased being fun for me at the moment. All I can think of is getting this damn thing over with. And that stinks – I wanted this to be fun! Come May 25, we are DONE DONE DONE with dance. Thank goodness.
The builders were here this morning to move the washer and dryer up from the basement to the new laundry room, and the contractor had assured me that this would be an easy task for them: they had hooks and pulleys or some-such newfangled equipment that would allow them to basically bound up the stairs with my washer and dryer strapped to their backs.
I heard them struggling. Then I saw them struggling. I said to one guy, "Not easy, is it?" He was huffing and puffing and he said to me, "I don't know HOW they got these things down here." I made some remark about, "Well, gravity was in their favor" (yeah, they're hating me now), and walked away.
There was a full load of (dry) towels and sheets from the last load of laundry I had done last week. Whoops. No wonder the thing felt so heavy. It was.
In my seventh grade english class, I remember my teacher requiring all of us to memorize a poem. I selected the poem "I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud" by William Wordsworth. Even all these years later (and it's starting to feel like a LOT of years, believe me), I still remember this poem. Possibly because even now, the poem's relevance is still with me – more so than it was when I was twelve. There's always been a line that has resonated with me: "Which is the bliss of solitude".
I have always been the kind of person who needs time alone (hey, even Axl Rose said it: "Sometimes I need some time on my own."). That has always been the case with me. I have always been the type who can sit in a room with the door closed and read or write or listen to music or daydream or do nothing for hours on end. I have often described myself as being somewhat "in my head" about things – if I have something on my mind, though I have some of the greatest friends put on this planet, I have rarely been the type to burden people with what I perceived to be "my problems". I've been the type, instead, to think, dwell, analyze and resolve things on my own. I have always been that way.
This weekend, it hit me so unbelievably hard that all I wanted to do was go away and be on vacation by myself – wanted to be somewhere where I had no one's needs to meet but my own, and no one had any expectations of me. I arranged for my mother to take the girls yesterday and then Hubby tells me that he decided he wouldn't be going to work.
I know, I know – it's contradictory, isn't it, for me to say that I was upset because he was staying home, when I've complained for the past several months about how much he's been gone?! But in my head, I was already READY for the bliss of my solitude – the girls with mom, Hubby at work, and the house so blissfully quiet. It's not an easy feeling to feel like you need to push away the people you love and who love you, but… I kind of did that.
Hubby went to work. The girls went to spend the day with Grandma.
And after four hours alone, I felt a bit like my old self again. I was in a better mood. I felt a bit refreshed. And I was happy to see everyone again. I know that it is something that I will have to work out in the days and weeks to come, getting better at carving out the time for myself when I need it – rather than let myself get lost in the other chaos of our lives.
The walls are green…Behr Grass Cloth is the color – very vibrant – I love it! We should be wrapping up work on the master bathroom this week, and then I should be able to touch up the paint in the bathroom, as well as the mudroom/laundry room and then WE ARE DONE.
After a long week filled with funereal things (including the visitation on Thursday, where the only family members present were me and my dad), I spent most of yesterday afternoon after the funeral in somewhat of a funk, and not really wanting to do anything or go anywhere. (And I didn't realize until this morning that it was Friday the 13th, so go figure).
As Hubby came home from grocery shopping last night, I asked him to please, please, please, wake up with Pumpkin should she wake up in the middle of the night. She's pretty consistently been waking up around 1:30 or 2 — I know it is because she's teething (again – freakin' molars!), and it's been a few weeks now since I've gotten a full eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Because it's a Saturday and it's still tax season, Hubby still needed to go to the office today, but there isn't a set time for weekend hours, so I knew that he had a little leeway to be a nice guy and let his wife get some sleep. He graciously agreed. He asked me before I hit the hay what my normal routine is for when she's up in the middle of the night – and I told him. Typically, I'm not up with her for more than 15 minutes (don't get me started on how long it takes me to fall back to sleep once I've tucked her in).
This morning, after exactly eight hours of sleep (ahhhhhhhh…), I got up and trotted downstairs and asked Hubby, "What time did she get up?" He told me 1:30-ish. I asked if she went back to sleep quickly.
She was up for TWO hours.
She's pretty much just ensured that I'll never get a full night's sleep again! My guess is that she got riled up as soon as he flipped on the TV (and I didn't ask, but I'm guessing if I were to have gone downstairs at 2, they'd have been sitting on the couch in front of ESPN).
Needless to say, Hubby is exhausted. BUT – for a nice change of pace, I am not. So, I'm just going to continue to bliss on my well-rested groove for the day.
Edited to Add: It's not even 2 p.m. and I'm exhausted again, and ready for a nap again. So much for my bliss.
Not only are we a week away from tax day, and recovering from last week's spring break (no school!), my dad has been in town from out of state because my Aunt Anne had been very ill. Actually, she was my dad's aunt. If you notice the use of past tense, it is because she passed away on Easter.
So, while we will miss her, it's hard to mourn her passing, because it seems as though she was lost long ago. She was a woman who always had ice cream in the freezer and adored the color pink (so much so that her front door of her house was pepto bismol pink). She volunteered in the coffee shop at a local hospital, and she was very active in her church and other organizations. She called me 'Sarah Bell'.
The thing is, it had been months since I'd last seen her, and knowing how she was doing so poorly, Hubby and I went to visit her Sunday night. I am so grateful we didn't wait another day, that we made the trip. My dad was with us and he told her we were there, and he said to me later that she got a smile on her face. In the span of time between when I'd last seen her and Sunday, she'd aged tremendously – I would not have recognized her. And that to me is the saddest part – that her vibrancy had faded. I'm sure that wherever she is, she's having an animated conversation with whoever will listen, or she's playing the piano, or eating a root beer float.

Q: Time Complexity of Different Collections in Java Most of the cases in competitive programming it is necessary to know about the complexity of a code before use it.
We uses different library functions and STL in C++ coding. And there is a beautiful documentation on STL with complexities.
I want to know about the complexities of different built in generic Collections methods (e.g. complexity of java.util.Arrays.sort()) in java. Is there any proper documentation about the complexities in Java all together?
Thanks in advance.

A: Please read official Oracle documentation with attention, for example cite from (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#sort(byte[]) ) -

Implementation note: The sorting algorithm is a Dual-Pivot Quicksort by Vladimir Yaroslavskiy, Jon Bentley, and Joshua Bloch. This algorithm offers O(n log(n)) performance on many data sets that cause other quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance, and is typically faster than traditional (one-pivot) Quicksort implementations.

As you can see O(n log(n)) is specified
