Sen—Russia's workhorse rocket is back on the commercial market more than three months after its latest failure.
Performing a daylight launch, the 705-ton Proton-M vehicle lifted off into cloudless sky over the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 14:44 Moscow Time (11:44 UTC). During a nine-minute ascent, all the rocket's booster stages preformed flawlessly, including the third stage, whose failure doomed the previous mission.
After the separation of the third stage, the Briz-M space tug conducted its first engine firing delivering itself and its payload into an initial parking orbit around 180 kilometers above Earth's surface. Four subsequent pre-programmed maneuvers by the Briz-M were spread over a 15-hour period culminating with the release of the Inmarsat-5 F3 satellite, known in the industry as I5F3, into a 4,341 by 65,000-kilometer orbit tilted almost 27 degrees toward the Equator. At such a great distance from Earth, the satellite will need less of its own propellant to counteract the planet's gravitational field, while matching its orbital plane with that of the Equator. Inmarsat-5 F3 will also use its own ion thrusters to slowly descend to a 36,000-kilometer circular orbit, where it will appear hanging over the Pacific Ocean to an observer on Earth. In reality, the spacecraft will me making a single revolution in 24 hours, thus matching the Earth's own rotation. Like all its siblings, the satellite is expected to operate in its orbital position for at least a decade and a half.
The arrival of Inmarsat-5 F3 will complete the original Global Xpress constellation for the London-based Inmarsat. Conceived as a three-satellite fleet, which was launched entirely on the Proton, Global Xpress, or GX for short, promises to provide seamless voice and data communications around the world. GX has ability to deliver unprecedented mobile broadband speeds of up to 50 megabytes per second and its customers would include the government, maritime, enterprise, energy and aeronautical sectors, the service provider said.
Weighing slightly more than six tons, the satellites for the Inmarsat-5 series were developed by the Boeing company, which based them on its standard platform designated 702HP. In October 2013, Inmarsat decided to procure the fourth such satellite from Boeing with a completion date in the middle of 2016.
The successful delivery of Inmarsat-5 F3 opens a floodgate of Proton missions, which were squeezed into the reminder of 2015 by the rocket's accident on May 16. The Russian investigation into the failure was completed on May 29, however only by the end of July had all the international underwriters and customers agreed that a combination of relaxed quality control procedures in Russia with an old design flaw caused excessive vibration and failure of the engine turbine, leading to the May 16 crash, as well as to a similar failure exactly a year earlier. The new sensors installed on the engine in the wake of the 2014 accident enabled operators to pinpoint finally the real culprit, Russian space officials said.
The next Proton liftoff is now expected in slightly more than two weeks, carrying a Russian communications satellite. That mission will also be an important test of the upgraded Block DM-03 upper stage, which the Russian space agency (Roscosmos) plans to use for its own Proton missions and later integrate the same space tug into the new-generation Angara rocket.
The first attempt to employ Block DM-03 for the launch of Russia's GLONASS navigation satellite trio at the end of 2010 ended in a destructive plunge of all three satellites into the Pacific Ocean. The investigation then revealed that a fueling team in Baikonur working with outdated specifications had loaded too much propellant into the stage.
Following the September test flight with the Block DM-03 stage, the Proton is expected to fly roughly once a month not only to fulfill its busy commercial manifest, but also as a confidence-building measure before the historic launch of the Russian-European ExoMars mission early next year. It will be the first attempt to use the rocket for a trip to the Red Planet since a disastrous launch of the Mars-96 mission almost two decades ago.

Q: Describing forces mathematically Let's say you wanted to write a differential equation for the forces acting on an orange sitting on the table (or any other object) using Newton's second law. Somehow you would have to add up all the forces acting on the orange. The orange isn't accelerating anywhere, so the net force acting on it must be $0$. How would you describe all of the forces acting on it (including their directions)? For example, lets say you have a force (of gravity) of $0.2N$, and a normal force of $0.2N$. You can't just add up these forces and say they equal a total of $0.4N$, because they are in opposite directions! Somehow, I would think, you would have to describe, matematically, the directions of these forces. How do you do this or is it even necessary at all?

A: It involves vector math. To add vectors, we must take into account their direction.
We can measure this line, but there is another way. Taking the line R, we can make it the hypotense of a right triangle.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the value of R.

A:
The orange isn't accelerating anywhere ...

It most certainly is accelerating! The orange is fixed with respect to the Earth. The Earth rotates about its axis (so the orange is accelerating). The Earth also orbits about the Sun (so the orange once again is accelerating), and the Sun (along with the Earth) orbits the galaxy (so the orange yet again is accelerating).
I'll put all that aside for a moment and ignore the fact that the orange is accelerating. Consider an orange sitting at rest on a table on a non-rotating rogue planet that is far from any massive object. It is still accelerating, but by such a tiny amount that one can safely ignore that tiny acceleration toward remote masses.
I'll assume a typical orange with a mass of 200 grams. I'll also assume gravitational acceleration on this rogue planet is 10 m/s2 (about 2% stronger than Earth standard gravity). Suppose we stick a needle that acts as a harpoon into the orange, and tie a string to the expose end of the needle. Nothing much happens if you pull up on that string with a force of one newton. Increase the force to 1.9999 newtons, and still nothing much happens.
Increase the force by a tiny, tiny bit to 2.0001 newtons and the orange lifts off the table.

What's happening is that the normal force, the force that keeps the orange from sinking into the table, is a constraint force. It does what it needs to do to keep the orange from sinking into the table. The normal force can only prevent the orange from sinking into the table; it cannot stop the orange from lifting off the table. The normal force ceases operating at the moment the upward force exerted on orange by the string exceeds the orange's weight.
You can see this in action when a large spacecraft takes off. There's an obvious delay (one second or more, depending on the rocket) between ignition and liftoff. It takes a little while for the engines to build up thrust from nothing to equal to the rocket's weight.

Finally, I'll get back to the orange on a rotating and orbiting planet. From a kinematics perspective, you know the orange is sitting still on the table. You see it doing so. Also from a kinematics perspective, you know that the orange is accelerating from the perspective of an inertial frame.
Kinematics tells you what the net force has to be. Dynamics tells you what the individual forces must be. The connection between the two perspectives is that forces are vectors; they add vectorially. It's the constraint forces such as the normal force and static friction that make this connection happen.

University of Tennessee grad students Jessica Giacomini and Coy Blair discuss their thesis projects on black bears. They had tagged black bears in the park at the time of the Gatlinburg fire and were able to track their movements during the blaze.
GATLINBURG — For bears, apparently, there is no place like home, even if your home is burned to the ground.
When the Nov. 28 fire hit Gatlinburg and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, University of Tennessee graduate students Jessica Giacomini and Coy Blair were well into their thesis projects, which involved tagging and following the patterns of black bears in the area.
The projects are separate. Giacomini's studies nuisance bears — bears spotted around campgrounds and in populated areas that might go after trash cans — while Blair's involves bears returned to the wild after being rescued and possibly rehabbed by Appalachian Bear Rescue. Generally Giacomini's bears are older and Blair's are usually younger than 2 years old.
More: Ways of the winds: How fast did gales blow the night of the Gatlinburg wildfire?
Because their bears were tagged before the fire, Giacomini and Blair were uniquely able to follow bears through the event to see how they reacted.
"In other research, it was always the fire would come through and then they would collar the bears," Giacomini said.
"It is always after the fact," Blair added.
"This gave us the opportunity to actually look at what they were doing during the fire," Giacomini said.
The two were able to study eight bears whose range was in the area of the fire — Giacomini had five and Blair three — as well as 12 bears in control areas near but not in the burn zone.
Looking on Giacomini's laptop at maps that show the routes of those bears from three days before the fire to five days after shows none left the burn zone.
"You didn't really see any rapid movement," Giacomini said. "We actually had a male who in the days after the fire moved into the area.
"The other big surprise was that none of the collared bears died," she said, noting that two bears with no collars did die because of the fire.
Asked to speculate on why the bears didn't leave, the two pointed to a combination of reasons.
"We have one of the highest black bear densities in the United States," Giacomini said.
"When they find a space, they are not moving," Blair added.
The Gatlinburg fires burned fiercely for essentially one night; and, in much of the burn area, the blaze didn't burn everything.
Giacomini said one female was found in the burn area where there was absolutely no vegetation.
"She just curled up on the ground and denned with her young," she said.
The time of year was also a factor. Some bears had already gone to den for the winter. Females usually den earlier than males do. Only three of the 20 bears in the fire study were female.
The year also was a good one for acorns and other mast that might have had the bears more comfortable where they were.
The fire project has become an additional study for the two on top of their larger studies of the bear population in the area.
Fifty-three bears have been tagged in Giacomini's study that was begun in 2015. Blair, who works at Appalachian Bear Rescue, has run his study since 2014 and tagged 42 bears, including 31 in the park — the rest in Cherokee National Forest.
National Park Service ranger Ryan Williamson was involved in catching the bears, usually by firing a tranquilizing gun.
The projects will soon be wrapping up and that will involve catching the bears again and taking the tags off them.
Both students hope to continue their studies of bears in some capacity after graduation.

Rescue mission for Florida's dying corals — a national treasure vanishing before our eyes

Scientists, conservationists and divers are launching an ambitious mission to rescue Florida's dying coral reefs system.
"It's a national treasure that is vanishing before our eyes," said Allison Delashmit, who represents the Sarasota-based Mote Marine Lab. She was part of a televised panel Monday in Key Largo, in the Florida Keys, to announce the launch of "Mission: Iconic Reefs."

Swaths of the Great Florida Reef, mostly in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, are dead or dying, chiefly from a suspected bacteria causing stony coral tissue to die and dissolve on reefs throughout the Caribbean. The disease, first spotted in 2015, swept through the Florida Reef in only five years, killing more than 40 percent of the stony corals.
Corals, which are living organisms, also are widely under stress from degraded water quality linked to residential and agricultural runoff, bleaching caused by hotter water temperature, damage from boating and excessive fishing, and storms.
The ambitious rescue program will be headed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The first phase, involving research, cultivation and transplantation, is estimated to cost $97 million, a sum the panelists said is small compared to the value of tourism related to the coral reefs.
Participants in the program already are involved in emergency rescue projects and have pledged to find the funds for long-term restoration.
Program managers identified seven coral reefs that they consider iconic as the primary targets of the rescue and recovery mission. Those are Carysfort Reef (the northernmost of the sites), Horseshoe Reef, Cheeca Rocks, Sombrero Reef, Newfound Harbor, Looe Key Reef, and Eastern Dry Rocks (at the southern end of the Keys).
Diving organizations, dive shops and volunteers also are helping, by monitoring and tagging coral reefs in support of the scientific efforts. Several took part in the event Monday announcing the reef-rescue program.
This coral is dying of stony coral tissue loss.
Divers with the Coral Restoration Foundation, a non-profit based in Key Largo, will help by cultivating and transplanting endangered staghorn and elkhorn corals onto the reefs, something it has been doing since it was founded in 2007.
Dive groups also have aggressively promoted diving practices to protect corals, such as banning use of oxybenzone sunscreens that cause coral bleaching and thoroughly cleaning boats and dive gear between outings to prevent the spread of coral-killing bacteria.

NOAA reports that Florida's iconic reefs contain only 2 percent coral cover, compared with an historic norm of up to 40 percent.
In phase 1, the reef-rescue mission aims to increase coral cover to 15 percent by growing corals in labs and ocean nurseries and transplanting them; also by promoting algae-grazing species such as sea urchins that help rid reefs of nuisance algae.
Meanwhile, marine labs are capturing samples of all healthy corals in hopes of maintaining a genetic bank for future reef restoration.
Panelist Sarah Fangman, superintendent of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, said the emergency rescue efforts must also be supported by long-term, systemic improvements in water quality, which has been degraded in south Florida by residential, industrial and agricultural runoff. Nearshore waterways are polluted with blue-green algae, red tide and other signs of sick water.
"We feel we cannot wait to solve those problems before we start," Fangman said at Monday's announcement event in answer to a question from the audience. "But you are spot-on. We must continue to tackle those issues. As we demonstrate that progress can be done, that is leverage. … You've got to turn off your pollution that's coming into this system."

African Envoys: India Attacks on Nigerians 'Racial'
BBC, April 3, 2017
Envoys from African nations in the Indian capital, Delhi, have condemned the handling of recent attacks on Nigerian students in the city.
In a statement, the African Heads of Mission said the attacks were "xenophobic and racial".
Indian authorities had failed to "sufficiently condemn" the attacks or take "visible deterring measures", the envoys added.
The students were attacked last month in Greater Noida, close to Delhi.
Five Nigerian students were attacked by crowds, while another was beaten by a mob inside a shopping mall.
The violence was prompted by the death of a local teenager due to a drug overdose. His parents blame Nigerian students for giving him the drugs.
Police say five people have been arrested over the violence and India's Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has promised an "impartial" inquiry.
But the African Heads of Mission said that the response was inadequate, and called for an investigation by the UN Human Rights Council.
They also called for "strong condemnation from the highest political level (both nationally and locally) of the government of India, as well as expediting legal actions against the perpetrators".
The attack on one student inside the shopping mall was recorded on mobile phone cameras by other shoppers and widely circulated on social media.
The victim told Indian reporters he had been beaten with rods, bricks and knives. He said that no one had helped or even called the police.
Many Indians have reacted with shame online. But there have been a number of incidents in recent years in which people from African nations living in India have faced apparent discrimination or violence.
In May 2016 a Congolese man was beaten to death in Delhi after an argument over an auto-rickshaw. Three months before that, a Tanzanian student was assaulted and partially stripped by a mob in the southern city of Bangalore. A Nigerian man living in Goa was stabbed to death in 2013.
Meanwhile, police say a Kenyan woman accused of faking a race attack in Greater Noida will be deported. The woman said she had been dragged out of a taxi by five men two days after the mob violence, but police said their investigation and the taxi's GPS tracker proved her story wrong. Her visa had expired, they added.

Angelique Rivera (BFA Theatre Performance '14) is loving Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is loving Rivera. "I love sunshine and good weather and that's LA" says Rivera, who has found major success moving to the West Coast. Rivera got her start in the hit drama, "American Crime" and is now working on a myriad of projects.
"It is all very exciting and I am really enjoying it," says Rivera who has spent her summer filming and working on different projects. In June, Rivera shot "The Crooked Man," a horror movie in which she was played the lead. The following month Rivera shot "Loca," an independent movie that she describes as an "unique and cool experience."
Currently, Rivera is shooting yet another movie for the Lifetime TV network, "Eat Slay Love," in which she plays a vampire. "Getting into film has been really enjoyable for me," says Rivera, who likens film to theatre. Rivera says that although TV is more spontaneous and in the moment, she also enjoys "exploring and playing with different choices" in film.

Q: ngrx how to get a nested property value from the store Hi I'm new to angular ngrx.
Please can you help as I do not understand how to in ngrx , to get a nested property value from mt reducer.
In the code below:
How do I get this.todoData$.data value from my reducer???????
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Store, select } from '@ngrx/store';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { increment, decrement, reset } from '../stateMan/actions/counter.actions';
import TodoItem from '../../models/TodoItem'

interface IStore {
  count: number,
  todo: {
    data : number
  }

}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-counter',
  templateUrl: './counter.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./counter.component.scss']
})
export class CounterComponent implements OnInit {
  count$: Observable<number>;
  todoData$: Observable<any>;

  constructor(private store: Store<IStore>) {
    this.count$ = store.select('count');
    this.todoData$ = store.select('todo');

  }

`//////// HOW??????
  increment() {
    // How do I get this.todoData$.data????
    console.log('show todo data', this.todoData$.data)

  }

}

A: I think the recommended way (and which I follow) is to use featureSelector.
I can be defined as follows -
export const selectTodo = createFeatureSelector<IStore, TodoState>('todo');

where, TodoState can be -
Interface TodoState = {
  data : number
}

After that, you can create selector to select the data -
const selectTododata = createSelector(
  selectTodo,
  (state: TodoState) => state.data
);

and then in the component, you can use that to select -
this.todoData$ = store.select(selectTododata);

I hope it would be helpful.

William Bednar
Bill began his archery career in 1958 after his wife Edith gave him a bow for Christmas. In less then three years he was part of the World team that captured the gold in Norway.
As a young boy he built his own Soapbox Derby car and went on to win the Derby in Akron, Ohio, that same year. It was an indication of his fierce competitive nature.
But archery was his passion, and his philosophy was simple, "Your shot execution is like a chain, and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so work on your weakest link."
In 1962, Bill turned pro and captured his first PAA title in 1963 at Daytona Beach, Florida. He placed 3rd in 1964 and then once again captured the powder blue blazer in 1965 and 66 making him at the time, an unprecedented three time PAA Champion. In 1967 at the PAA Championships in Pasdena he finished in a three way tie for second. His strategy paid off as he became the PAA's top money winner during the decade of 1960's.
His Ben Pearson Open win in 1966 and 2nd place finish in the NFAA Championships in 1964 & 1965 as well as the NAA in 1965 put him among the top shooters during the peak of his career.
Raised on the family farm in Randolph, Ohio, he was introduced to hard work at an early age. He labored on the farm through his school years, and into his mid twenties. His experience operating farm equipment ultimately led him to employment as an excavation equipment operator, where one of his most notable projects was helping build the Ohio Turnpike.
His first experience with a bow and arrow came fairly late in life. In the fall of 1958, at age 33, he and his wife, Edith, attended the Cleveland Sportsman's Show with another couple. Bednar spent most of the afternoon shooting arrows with his friend at the show's archery venue while they left the two wives to roam the show on their own.
For months following the event, Bednar could not stop talking about how much he had enjoyed shooting the bow, so his wife bought him a fiberglass bow and arrow set at a local department store for Christmas. But, something about the bow was not right, so he visited an archery shop in a nearby town where the proprietor quickly realized that even though Bednar was right-handed, he was left-eye dominant. He needed a left-handed bow. He quickly retired his wife's wonderful Christmas present and ordered a brand new "wrong-handed" bow.
In short order he joined the nearby Ravenna Archery Club, where he met local legend, Harry Gilchrest. Gilchrest ran the club, was the high school football coach, and was a great archer in his own right. According to Edith Bednar, "Harry was a great teacher and recognized that Bill was a natural. Right from the start he got Bill involved in tournament shooting. Bill always credited Harry for his rapid climb as a tournament archer."
In August of 1961, one-year and seven-months after shooting his first bow, he competed as the number three shooter on the USA team that won the World Championship in Oslo, Norway. Individually, he finished 10th in the world.
Believing that archery should move in the same direction as professional golf, he turned professional the following year and went on to win the first ever Professional Archery Association (PAA) Championship held in Daytona Beach, FL.
The following January, in 1963, the family purchased a brick building in nearby Suffield, Ohio and spent the next eleven months converting it into a three bedroom dwelling, archery pro shop, and indoor and outdoor range.
By November of that year, they had sold the Randolph, Ohio, home Bednar built with his own hands from cherry and oak trees felled on the property, and the family moved into their new home and family business, Portage Archery Center.
Edith ran the business and raised their three children (Cindy 9, Rick 6, and Joanna 3) while Bednar continued to support the family operating heavy equipment.
He continued working road construction for the next three years until he was injured while working on a campus expansion job at Kent State University. The injury was not job threatening, but he decided to quit construction to help his wife run the business. By then it had grown enough to support the family.
Once Portage Archery was up and running in early 1964, Bednar was anxious to get back in action competing at the highest level. That year he won the prestigious Ben Pearson Open in Detroit's Cobo Hall.
In 1965, he repeated as the PAA champ and nearly repeated as the Ben Pearson Open champ when he tied the winning score but was awarded second place by the judges.
The following year he won his third PAA championship and established himself as the dominant field and target shooter of the decade, winning most of the open invitational money shoots. And, between 1963 and 1983 he won 27 Ohio State field and target championships.
During the 70's Bill still competed at a high level but focused his energy on coaching his son and two daughters, all of whom had highly successful competitive archery careers at the national level.
From 1976 through 1979, he coached the University of Akron archery team where son, Rick, became a three-time NCAA individual champ and where the team won the 1979 NCAA Team Championship.
Between 1987 and 1997 Bednar was a six-time gold medalist in the Senior Olympics. And, in 1990 and '92, he participated in the World Crossbow Championships in Portugal and New Zealand respectively.
Bill had the good fortune of spending nearly every day of the last two decades of his life working along side his wife and three children. Still family owned, Portage Archery operates as The Complete Hunter's Outlet Archery Center, a Division of TenPoint Crossbow Technologies, the highly successful manufacturer of precision engineered crossbows.
While he was technically retired and not active in TenPoint's day-to-day operations, Bill always remained fascinated with the ballistics and trajectory of arrow flight. He spent nearly every day of the last sixteen years of his life in his custom work shop tucked in the back corner of the TenPoint factory. He invented much of the technology that has made TenPoint an industry leader. In his spare time he designed and built production fixtures, kept his factory building in top repair, generally tinkered with new ideas, and consulted with his son daily on all phases of the business operation.
Bednar was much more than a natural archer. He was also single-minded, determined and obsessively focused about everything he put his mind to; traits that turned him into a champion archer but also led him to become a prolific inventor and self-taught master carpenter and machinist. His wife Edith summed up his talent in plain terms. "I don't know how many patents Bill held. There were many. He could fix anything or build anything. I never saw anyone so determined. If he put his mind to something, there was no talking to him or getting in his way. You just couldn't stop him until he finished` whatever he set out to do."

Making your own supplement has tons of benefits and it is actually quite simple to do. All you need is the right tools and ingredients as well as the recipe and you are set to go.
The truth is, it can save you money as well as make you healthy. Once you get the right equipment, you can save up to 90% of the cost of buying commercial supplements. Lets say, you are spending $100 a month, making your own could save you up to $1000 a year.
Aside from saving you loads of money, it also makes it easier to personalize the ingredients based on your body's needs and your personal goals. Each person's goal is different and making your own supplement ensures that your body is getting exactly what it needs.
So how do you make your own Supplement?
After you've set your goals, you can then decide what ingredients and tools you need. You need these 3 things to start your supplement – an active ingredient, a binding agent and a tablet press.
Active ingredient. Active ingredients are the main materials that you would add to your supplement. You can find raw materials from your local health food store or even online.
Binding Agents. These ingredients allow your raw materials to bind and mix well. Its easiest to use an all in one pill mix like Firmapress.
A Pill Press. The pill press (or tablet press) is used to compress the active ingredients in to the final supplement. If you are making supplements for personal use, you'll be better off getting a handheld Pill press. You will find videos online on how to use handheld pill press easily.
After you have purchased these three things, the next step is concocting your own formula or mix. This is where some people find it difficult. But it is actually reasonably simple. Theres loads of videos online but the main thing is to get the ratios right so that you're taking the exact amount you need.
In making your own supplement, you save not only money but also it prevents you from taking the wrong ingredients that may affect your overall health. Choosing your own ingredients will help you cut costs and help you achieve the goal that you want effectively as you know what is inside your supplement.

Lisp in Small Parts now includes a new project: a simple version of the classic psychotherapist chatbot program ELIZA. For more information see Eliza Chatbot.
This is a series of short Lisp tutorials I recently wrote to help my teenage daughter and son learn Lisp.
It's interactive: you can type Lisp commands at the Listener and see the results instantly.
It's an elegant language, without the arbitrary constructs present in many other languages.
It's a fast and powerful language that can be used to write real production programs.
The tutorials are aimed at someone with no previous experience of programming, and they are designed to take the reader to the stage where they can start writing their own programs to solve practical, interesting applications.
One of the most daunting aspects of learning a new programming language is the vocabulary, so one of my aims was to design tutorials that could be used with a minimal core set of 38 Common Lisp procedures, rather than provide a comprehensive tour of all the Common Lisp procedures and features.
These procedures, together with six LispWorks user-interface procedures, are sufficient to construct all the applications in the second half of the tutorials. For reference a full list of the core set of procedures is given in the Index of Procedures.
All the Lisp programs on this site are provided under a CC0 1.0 licence; in other words you can pretty much do what you want with them.
Experienced Lisp programmers may say that there are built-in Lisp procedures that will achieve far more succinctly and efficiently what I have achieved in some of the example programs here.
My defence is that the point of these tutorials is not to teach Common Lisp in its entirety, but to help the reader understand the general principles of programming in Lisp. I believe that it is daunting for a beginner to be confronted with a catalogue of Lisp procedures to learn by rote. It is far more important to understand how to approach a problem, and break it down into simpler problems with the help of recursion.


Wish we had more episodes without skipping three weeks between. Hope they don't lose their audience that way.
Jack was so angry when he discovered that Emily and Amanda knew each other before... can you imagine how he's going to react if/when he finds out that Emily is really Amanda?

Oh man, I can't imagine the betrayal he's going to feel and rightfully so! I don't think he'd ever truly forgive the real Amanda for her duplicity no matter her reasons!
He has looked especially good in the last few episodes.
HUGE twist on last night's episode Was NOT expecting it the way it came ... through Mason Treadwell! But you know he's always good for "juicy stuff"
Wow, you learn something new every day: I just discovered that Josh Bowman (Daniel Grayson) is actually English!
I've been watching the show since the beginning and I never even twigged that he wasn't American .
Apparently he did some UK TV shows before he moved to the US, including a few episodes of Holby City, which Barry Sloane (Aiden Mathis) was in too, but I had never seen him in anything before Revenge. Also, turns out his sister is an actress too... she was a series regular on Hollyoaks, which Barry (Aiden) was also in AND she starred in the same BBC show as one of my brother's best friends (who I used to babysit when he was a kid) .
I really should pay more attention to the possibility of fake American accents done by English actors on US TV - same thing happened with Rigsby on The Mentalist: I spent the whole first season assuming he was American, and then I found out he was actually Welsh and that he grew up only 10 miles from me .

Press releases and statements
Press Release: Figaro announcement
LA Opera Cancels The Marriage of Figaro, Reaches Agreements with Unions and Implements Companywide Cost Reductions
Agreements cover the cancellations of Pelléas and Mélisande, The Marriage of Figaro and community programs
(Los Angeles) April 30, 2020 – LA Opera announced today that it has cancelled all performances of The Marriage of Figaro, originally scheduled for June 6-28, 2020, due to international travel restrictions affecting cast members and larger ongoing efforts to address the COVID-19 public health crisis. The company also cancelled the remaining in-person community outreach programs under its Connects banner, including Saturday Mornings at the Opera, scheduled for June 6, and Great Opera Choruses at the Soraya, scheduled for June 7. Having cancelled all performances and events from March 14 through June 28, these cancellations now encompass the remainder of LA Opera's 2019/20 season. Patrons who purchased tickets for these performances will be contacted by LA Opera regarding the cancellations.
Additionally, the company announced agreements with each of its impacted union partners regarding these, and previous, performance cancellations and is implementing additional cost reduction strategies across the organization, including pay reductions for senior management. The company also set up the LA Opera Relief Fund to help support the artists, artisans and staff negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and corresponding cancellations.
The representative unions impacted by the cancellations include the American Federation of Musicians Local 47 (AFM), American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA), International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 33 Stagehands (IATSE), Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Local 706, and Theatrical Wardrobe Union (TWU) Local 768. Union employees hired for Pelléas and Mélisande, which was cancelled on April 10, 2020, were paid in full through the cancellation date, and at 75% thereafter. Those hired for The Marriage of Figaro, which was scheduled to begin rehearsals on May 4, will be paid at 75% per the agreement. Union benefits, which are paid by LA Opera and administered by the unions, will be paid in full.
These settlements also cover all cancelled work under LA Opera Connects' programming for the community, including the previously cancelled Open Door Days and The Festival Play of Daniel, as well as Great Opera Choruses and Saturday Mornings at the Opera.
"In a health crisis, ultimately the individuals are the ones that will suffer the most," said John Acosta, President of AFM Local 47. "During this crisis LA Opera has truly demonstrated that its values are centered on the health and wellbeing of its performers."
Thanks, in large part, to significant support from the federal government's Paycheck Protection Program, LA Opera is grateful to be able to continue to pay all of its 330 hard-working employees and contractors, which include carpenters, seamsters, electricians, technicians, musicians and others, while the company's theatres are shut down by the public health crisis.
For the most part, employees in administrative functions continue to work from home uninterrupted. In addition to their regular duties such as finance, technology services, and fundraising, administrative staff have turned their focus to engaging with audiences in their homes through programs such as the new "LAO at Home" offering, which streams both live and recorded content online, and remote Connects activities such as teacher training and programming for patients and their caregivers.
LA Opera implemented additional cost reductions across the organization, including pay cuts exclusively to senior management, ranging from 10-25%, as part of an effort to manage the short-term cashflow and secure its long-term future.
Thanks to the generosity of LA Opera philanthropists, and, in large part to the generosity of donors to the LA Opera Relief Fund, the company was also able to offer support for independent contractors (principal singers, directors, designers) who were not covered under the Paycheck Protection Plan. These performers, who are typically paid at a significantly higher rate than employees, will be paid at 25% of the full value of their agreements, plus union benefits.
"While I regret that we are unable, at present, to bring Angelenos the beauty and cathartic, communal power of opera, I am relieved that that we were able to provide support for our incredible artists and artisans that depend on us for their livelihood," said Christopher Koelsch, Sebastian Paul and Marybelle Musco President and CEO. "I am also deeply grateful to senior team members whose sacrifice underscore their peerless professionalism, dedication, and passion for our work. In our collective effort to protect our most vulnerable team members, share the economic sacrifice with our valued artists, artisans and staff, and continue to preserve the long-term viability of the company, we have collectively determined that that these salary rollbacks are painful, but necessary. We look forward to the day when we can again restore opera to our mainstage and our entire team will be recognized for the outstanding service they provide."

About the LA Opera Relief Fund
LA Opera is committed to providing support for the many artists and staff members — numbering anywhere from 200 to 500 people for a typical production — whose work and livelihood have been impacted as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The company has established the LA Opera Relief Fund to provide much needed, ongoing relief for those impacted by these cancellations and to help the company continue supporting our valued performers, artisans and staff during this challenging time.

Q: Uses for secondary returns of scipy.optimize.leastsq? I have been using scipy.optimize.leastsq quite a bit lately, but whenever I call it I only use the return "x" (the solution) from this long list of return values. I can't see myself needing any of the other values it returns. I'm curious, has anyone used them? Did it work well for what you used it for?

A: They are really useful, if you want to look into how well the fit worked. For instance, cov_x is the covariance matrix. Its diagonal entries are the estimation errors squared, so if you have parameters x[i] then sqrt(cov_x[i,i]) will be the estimated uncertainties of these parameters. Its off-diagonal entries on the other hand tell you something about the correlations between fit parameters. The wikipedia article about the covariance matrix is very informative on the mathematical details.
The further values are intended more for debugging as far as I can see, so one could probably design the API somewhat differently, to handle this kind of thing via exceptions instead, but the information there still can be very useful if required.

A: Many of these return values reflect (in variable names and values) the outputs of the underlying Fortran code from MINPACK (lmdif and/or lmder).  Why both 'ier' and 'mesg' are returned, while other things are stuffed in infodict, and why the spelling follows Fortran77 conventions is beyond me.
It's unfortunate the return is not more Pythonic (say returning a OptimizeResult instance, as the new-ish minimize() does,  perhaps adding a 'covariance' member and maybe more from infodict).  I think that would require a wrapper level around leastsq().


Nehemiah 5:1 Now there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers.
Nehemiah 5:4 And there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our fields and our vineyards.
Nehemiah 5:6 I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.
Nehemiah 5:8 and said to them, "We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brothers who have been sold to the nations, but you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us!" They were silent and could not find a word to say.
Nehemiah 5:9 So I said, "The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies?
Nehemiah 5:10 Moreover, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us abandon this exacting of interest.
Nehemiah 5:12 Then they said, "We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say." And I called the priests and made them swear to do as they had promised.
Nehemiah 5:13 I also shook out the fold of my garment and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said "Amen" and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
Nehemiah 5:14 Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the food allowance of the governor.
Nehemiah 5:15 The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens on the people and took from them for their daily ration forty shekels of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, because of the fear of God.
Nehemiah 5:16 I also persevered in the work on this wall, and we acquired no land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work.
Nehemiah 5:17 Moreover, there were at my table 150 men, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us.

EVERTON CHIEF EXECUTIVE QUITS FOR TOP JOB WITH REAL MALLORCA
By Humphrey Carter
PAUL Davidson yesterday made his clearest indication yet as to just how serious he is about buying a controlling stake in Real Mallorca Football Club by hiring Everton's former Chief Executive Keith Wyness to fulfil a similar role at Real Mallorca.
Wyness, one of the most influential people in the Premier League resigned from Everton on Tuesday night amidst rumours that he would be coming to Real Mallorca to join his close friend Davidson in Palma.
Everton admitted yesterday that the club had been aware of the speculation linking Wyness to Mallorca over the past couple of days and the Bulletin can confirm today that Everton's suspicions were right.
In fact, Wyness has been down to Majorca for talks over the past few days but Davidson's team were determined to keep the talks, which at no time included Terry Venables, under wraps until they were finalised.
Wyness has an impressive CV and he has a wealth of experience in the areas of globally marketing top brands and top flight football.
Prior to football, where he built his media profile, his former employers include British Airways, Radisson and the Olympic Club.
In 1978 Wyness was appointed as press officer for British Airways, he was also responsible for marketing of the Concorde.
He was also instrumental in the setting up of the "Executive Club" now the world's largest frequent flyer programme.
In 1986 he relocated to Miami, USA and co-founded Radisson Diamond. He was heavily involved with marketing for the cruise lines and was later involved with attempted and aborted takeover of Cunard.
He was the Founder and later the Managing Director of The Olympic Club, a worldwide marketing programme set up to promote every Olympic sport, and aided the marketing of the sports involved in the Sydney Olympic competition.
In 2000 he moved back to his hometown Aberdeen to take over as Chief Executive Officer of Aberdeen football club and then in 2004, he was installed as the Chief Executive of Everton.
He is also a non exec director at the SECC in Glasgow which is building the new National arena for Scotland.
Last year, Wyness was vocal in his backing of the idea that Premier League clubs play a 39th game overseas and, until his departure from the club on Tuesday, he was pursuing the controversial relocation of Everton's new stadium on a greenspace site in Kirkby, Knowsley, Merseyside. Davidson is understood to be set to pay 38 million euros for Vicente Grande's 93 percent stake in the club and the deal is expected to be closed over the next few weeks. Davidson's accountants are currently studying the club's accounts but it appears that all parties involved are satisfied with the offer on the table.

Granted, when you're in London it's easy to spend money like it's going out of fashion, but a day out in the Capital needn't be expensive. If you do a little forward planning, you can have a really good touristy day out, even in the middle of winter when a walk in the Royal Parks isn't quite so appealing!
London is full of free museums and art galleries – all of which are world-class attractions that people travel from all over the world to come and see. The most notable gallery on the Circular Cruise route is the Tate Modern (nearest pier: Bankside), where you can either challenge your perceptions of Art or scoff at the things, quote "a five-year-old could have done better" unquote, depending on your point-of-view!
A 10-minute walk away from the river, located on Trafalgar Square (nearest pier: Embankment), is the National Gallery. Trafalgar Square is a tourist destination in itself, with the famous stone lions guarding Nelson's Column. In more recent years, the empty Fourth Plinth in the Square has become a micro-gallery itself, introducing the public to new artists and their work.
If you fancy doing a spot of window shopping, there are plenty of places to mooch around. A short walk from Bankside Pier is Borough Market, a covered market which has been on the same site for over a thousand years. These days, it's more of a farmers' market with artisans and producers selling products and street food. You don't have to buy, just enjoy looking around!
Not far from Borough Market is Hays Galleria, a converted wharf and bonded warehouse complex which has a large covered area full of shops, restaurants and cafés, with the added bonus of a huge, beautifully strange bronze sculpture of a sailing ship called The Navigator. Worth the walk just to see the ship alone!
If you like looking around little independent shops, head to Gabriel's Wharf on the South Bank (nearest pier: Festival).
If you're walking along the South Bank, you should be able to see performances by buskers – one of the prime spots in London so hopefully you'll see some really good acts.
You can also catch the Friday Lunch concerts in the bar of the Royal Festival Hall (nearest pier: Festival). The South Bank Centre runs lots of other free events throughout the year – check the What's On section, ticking the Free Events filter to find out more.
This year, Chinese New Year will be celebrated between late January and mid-February, so London's China Town will be buzzing with activity. The main celebrations will take place on 10th February in Trafalgar Square (a 5-minute walk from Embankment Pier) with a parade, food and lots of entertainment.
If you're in London at the weekend and only have a small budget for treats, take advantage of our half-price Winter Weekends offer so you can enjoy a rest at the same time as getting to your next destination! Book your hop-on hop-off tickets online using the discount code WEEKEND50, then enjoy all the free activities happening along The Thames!

Hi, i just wanted to know if i could use one coupon more than one times or not.
Ans: This totally depends on the type of coupon you are using. If you are using a paper coupon, the store cashier will scan it to register the discount, and then either take it or mark it as used. But, if you find a coupon in two different places say, two copies of the same newspaper then both these coupons are valid. While using an online coupon, the discount is good for that purchase. If you want to return at a later date and enter the same promotional code with a different purchase, that's OK as long as the discount code is part of an ongoing promotion.

Q: Citrix Mixed Server Session problems we've run an Citrix Farm with 4 x Windows 2008 x64 (XenApp 5.0 FP3) and one server Win 2003 x86 (Xenapp 4.6).
Yesterday we had a strange problem with Session logins. Existing Sessions could work without problems but new logins were not possible.
In the AMC we could not see the Sessions on the Servers.
After an reboot all worked fine again. We run the 32 Bit Server since 3 days in our farm (for one Application).
Could it be possible that this behavior is caused of the mixed farm?
-- (we got in this time a lot of wmi warnings that the Provider CitrixEvemtProv has been registered but it does not correctly impersonate user requests.

A: Since everything worked fine after the reboot I doubt your farm being mixed had anything to do with it.  It's more likely that domain policies were not applied for some reason and when you rebooted the policies were applied.

Q: Finf f such that $F \circ F$ is a primitive of f Find all primitivable functions $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that admits a primitive $F:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ for which $F\circ F$ is a primitive of $f$.
From $(F \circ F)'=f$ we get that $f(x)(f(F(x))-1)=0, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}$. (1)
We can also write that $F\circ F=F+c$, where c is a real constant. (2)
If there is an a such that $f(a) \neq 0$, then $f(F(a))=1$.
In (1) we put x=F(a), and so $f(F(F(a)))=1.$
Generally, $f((\underbrace{F\circ F\circ F \circ ... \circ F}_{\text{n times }})(a))=1$, or $f(F^n(a))=1$, for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$.
From (2) we get that $F^n(x)=F(x)+(n-1)c, \forall x\in \mathbb{R}$.
So $f(F(a)+(n-1)c)=1, \forall n \in \mathbb{N}$.
Now, I'm stuck.

A: As already noticed, there must exist a $C\in\mathbb R$ such that $F(F(x))=F(x)+C$ holds for all $x\in\mathbb R$. Therefore, for all $y\in A:=\operatorname{Im}(F)\neq\emptyset$, we have $$F(y)=y+C.\tag{$\ast$}$$ Since $F$ is differentiable, it must be continuous, so $A$ is an interval. Let $a_1=\inf A$ and $a_2=\sup A$.
There are three cases to treat.
Case 1: $C>0$. In this case, by $(\ast)$, for each $y\in A$, we have $y+C\in A$. This implies that $a_2=\infty$. If $a_1=-\infty$, the solution is uniquely determined by $(\ast)$, i.e. $$F(y)=y+C$$ holds for all $y\in\mathbb R$. If $a_1$ is finite, $(\ast)$ must only hold for $y\in[a_1,\infty)$. In fact, this is also the only constraint: if $G:(-\infty,a_1]\to\mathbb R$ is an arbitrary differentiable function such that $G(a_1)=a_1+C$, $G^{L}(a_1)=1$ (here I'm using $G^L$ to denote the left derivative of $G$) and $\inf G\geq a_1$, then $$F(y)=\begin{cases}y+C;&y\geq a_1,\\G(y);&y\leq a_1,&\end{cases}\tag{1}$$ solves the problem (to be a little nitpicky, we should add the condition that $\inf G=a_1$, but this doesn't really matter, since a solution not satisfying this property is still obtained for a different $a_1$).
Case 2: $C<0$. This case is treated similarly. By $(\ast)$ we have $a_1=-\infty$. If $a_2=\infty$, the unique solution is $$F(y)=y+C,\qquad y\in\mathbb R.$$ If $a_2$ is finite, $$F(y)=\begin{cases}y+C;&y\leq a_2,\\G(y);&y\geq a_2,&\end{cases}\tag{2}$$ where $G$ is an arbitrary differentiable function with $G(a_2)=a_2+C$, $G^R(a_2)=1$ (where $G^R$ is the right derivative of $G$) and $\sup G\leq a_2$, solves the problem.
Case 3: $C=0$. This case is a little different. First of all, it may happen that $A=\{D\}$ is a single point; then $$F(y)=D,\qquad y\in\mathbb R,$$ is the constant function. If $A$ contains more than one point, we will show that $A=\mathbb R$ must hold.
We argue by contradiction. First suppose that $a_2<\infty$. Then there is an $\epsilon>0$ such that $F(y)=y$ for all $y\in(a_2-\epsilon,a_2]$. Therefore $F^L(a_2)=1$. Since $F$ is in fact differentiable at $a_2$ by our assumptions, this means that $F'(a_2)=1$. But then $F$ is increasing in $a_2$, so there must exist an $y>a_2$ such that $F(y)>F(a_2)=a_2$. This contradicts the fact that $a_2=\sup A$. So, indeed $a_2=\infty$.
A completely analogous argument shows that $a_1=-\infty$: suppose that $a_1>-\infty$, note that $F^R(a_1)=1$, so $F'(a_1)=1$ and $F$ is increasing in $a_1$, yielding another contradiction.
So the only remaining option is that $A=\mathbb R$. In this case, $(\ast)$ yields $$F(y)=y,\qquad y\in\mathbb R.$$
Conclusion: the functions $F$ that solve the problem are exactly the constant functions, the functions of the form $F(x)=x+C$, for $C\in\mathbb R$, the functions of the form $(1)$ for arbitrary $a_1\in\mathbb R$, arbitrary $C>0$ and arbitrary $G$ satisfying the constraints $G(a_1)=a_1+C$, $G^L(a_1)=1$ and $\inf G\geq a_1$, and the functions of the form $(2)$ for arbitrary $a_2\in\mathbb R$, $C<0$ and arbitrary $G$ satisfying the constraints $G(a_1)=a_1+C$, $G^R(a_1)=1$ and $\sup G\geq a_2$. (To obtain the answer in terms of $f$, simply differentiate these functions.)

FCC To Fine AT&T $100 Million For Misleading Consumers
Smartphones	 Jun 17,2015	 0
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to fine AT&T Mobility, LLC $100,000,000 for misleading its customers about unlimited mobile data plans. The FCC's investigation alleges that AT&T slowed down the data speeds for customers with unlimited data plans and that the company failed to adequately notify its customers that they could receive speeds slower than the normal network speeds AT&T advertised.
AT&T began offering unlimited data plans in 2007, allowing customers to use unrestricted amounts of data. In 2011, AT&T implemented a "Maximum Bit Rate" policy and capped the maximum data speeds for unlimited customers after they used a set amount of data within a billing cycle. FCC says that the capped speeds were much slower than the normal network speeds AT&T advertised and impaired the ability of AT&T customers to access the Internet or use data
applications for the remainder of the billing cycle.
The Commission charges AT&T with violating the 2010 Open Internet Transparency Rule by falsely labeling these plans as "unlimited" and by failing to sufficiently inform customers of the maximum speed they would receive under the Maximum Bit Rate policy.
The fine by the FCC comes on the heels of a federal lawsuit filed against the company last fall. The Federal Trade Commission said it wants to refund customers who were offered the unlimited data packages, only to be given slower data speeds than advertised. That lawsuit is still working its way through a federal court in California.

df['brand']=df['product_name'].apply(lambda x: True if any(s in x for s in my_list) else False)

This just gives True/False. How do I extract brand in one step?

Q: Generating random numbers in mule dataweave I have to concatenate randomly generated number with the field from request in dataweave.
NUMBR: "AA" ++ $.Load.Reference.*Reference ++ RandomNumber

How to achieve this in Mule Dataweave

A: Not sure what you can do in Datawevae to do this, but you can you set a Random number in a flowVariable and invoke it from your Dataweave script like so:
<set-variable variableName="random"
    value="#[new java.util.Random().nextInt(100)]" doc:name="Variable" />

<dw:transform-message doc:name="Transform Message">
    <dw:input-variable doc:sample="unknown.dwl" variableName="random" />
    <dw:set-payload>
    <![CDATA[%dw 1.0
        %output application/dw
        ---
        {
            "data": ("22" as :number + flowVars.random)
        } ]]>
    </dw:set-payload>
</dw:transform-message>

A: You can also use Expression Component to assign it to Payload or variables and then concatenate
<flow name="random-numbersFlow">
    <http:listener config-ref="HTTP_Listener_Configuration" path="/random" allowedMethods="GET" doc:name="HTTP"/>
    <expression-component doc:name="Expression"><![CDATA[payload = new java.util.Random().nextInt(100)]]></expression-component>
    <dw:transform-message doc:name="Transform Message">
        <dw:set-payload><![CDATA[%dw 1.0
%output application/java
---
{
    data: payload
}]]></dw:set-payload>
    </dw:transform-message>
    <logger message="#[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</flow>

A: You can't do this in pure DataWeave but you could use two methods to generate the number elsewhere in the application:

*

*You could call a global MEL function from DataWeave: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/dataweave-reference-documentation#global-mel-functions

*You could call a flow that returns the value: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/dataweave-reference-documentation#expressions-that-call-external-flows

A: Just set a random value generated by Java into a Flow Variable
<set-variable variableName="Random_Variable" value="#[java.util.Random().nextInt(10)]" doc:name="Random Variable"/>

Then Use that Flow Variable in your Dataweave Transform.
<dw:transform-message doc:name="Transform Message" metadata:id="8098b24c-30c1-4e9e-a3ce-9e8aaaec7bd1">
            <dw:input-variable mimeType="application/java" variableName="Random_Variable"/>
            <dw:set-payload><![CDATA[%dw 2.0
%output application/json
---
{
    NUMBR: "AA" ++ $.Load.Reference.*Reference ++ flowVars.Random_Variable
}]]></dw:set-payload>
</dw:transform-message>

A: In Mule 4 Dataweave 2 function random()
Returns a pseudo-random number greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0
MULE 4 DOC:
https://docs.mulesoft.com/dataweave/2.3/dw-core-functions-random
Example:
%dw 2.0
output application/json
{ price: random() * 1000 }
