The Irrational Economist
Making Decisions in a Dangerous World
Von: Erwann Michel-Kerjan, Paul Slovic
Gesprochen von: Bill Quinn
Spieldauer: 10 Std. und 34 Min.
4,0 out of 5 stars 4,0 (1 Bewertung)
Von: Erwann Michel-Kerjan,Paul Slovic
Of the 20 most costly catastrophes since 1970, more than half have occurred since 2001. Is this an omen of what the 21st century will be? How might we behave in this new, uncertain and more dangerous environment? Will our actions be rational or irrational?
A select group of scholars, innovators, and Nobel Laureates was asked to address challenges to rational decision making both in our day-to-day life and in the face of catastrophic threats such as climate changes, natural disasters, technological hazards, and human malevolence. At the crossroads of decision sciences, behavioral and neuro-economics, psychology, management, insurance, and finance, their contributions aim to introduce readers to the latest thinking and discoveries.
The Irrational Economist challenges the conventional wisdom about how to make the right decisions in the new era we have entered. It reveals a profound revolution in thinking as understood by some of the greatest minds in our day, and underscores the growing role and impact of economists and other social scientists as they guide our most important personal and societal decisions.
Due to the author's superstitions, Chapter 13 has been intentionally omitted from this book.

Kritikerstimmen
"The Irrational Economist challenges conventional wisdoms, overturns traditional economic models, and brings to light new discoveries in decision sciences: The result is a profound revolution in thinking. This book will help us cope better with the myriad of important decisions under uncertainty that we face." (JOSEPH STIGLITZ)
"In The Irrational Economist some of the world's foremost economists and decision scientists analyze how we make decisions under pressure--and offer thought-provoking ideas about how to improve the process. The result is important and remarkably timely." (RICHARD M. SMITH, Chairman, Newsweek)
"The future is uncertain and filled with risks. So what do we do about it? Think of this book as a jam session in which the most virtuosic thinkers from economics and a few other social sciences try to answer that essential question. A great performance." (JUSTIN FOX, Editor-at-large, TIME; and author of The Myth of the Rational Market)"Compelling…. This collection is an intriguing look at the limitations of human knowledge regarding its own nature, especially relevant for the current moment of economic turmoil." (Publishers Weekly)

Popís prebiválstva je postopek pridobivanja podatkov o vsakem prebivalcu določenega območja. Razlikuje se od vzorčenja, kjer podatke dobimo le od podmnožice celotnega prebivalstva (populacije). Kot tak je način, ki se uporablja za zbiranje statističnih podatkov.

V Republiki Sloveniji popis prebivalstva izvaja Statistični urad Republike Slovenije in sicer načeloma vsakih deset let. V njem zbira podatke o stanovanjskih in finančnih razmerah, izobrazbi, narodni pripadnosti in veroizpovedi. Po končnih podatkih zadnjega popisa iz leta 2002 je v Sloveniji živelo 1.964.036 prebivalcev. Od popisa iz leta 1991 se je število prebivalcev povečalo za 2,6 %.

Q: How can I show out "<>" using HTML.from() in TextView? May I know if there have any way to show out "<>" or something like "<>ddd" normally using
HTML.from() in textview?
the character is all missing after that invalid HTML tag ...

A: Use < for < and > for >
For example textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("
Hello <World>
"));
This results in Hello <World>

A: you should escape the characters, < is < (Less Than) and > is > (Greater Than)
so:
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<>ddd"));

will output

Magazine were an English post-punk band active from 1977 to 1981, then again from 2009 to 2011. The band was formed by Howard Devoto after leaving punk band Buzzcocks in early 1977. Devoto had decided to create a more progressive and less "traditional" rock band.
Magazine reunited in 2009 for a UK tour, with almost all the remaining members of the "classic" lineup, with the exception of guitarist John McGeoch, who died in 2004. He was replaced by Noko, who had played with Devoto in Luxuria. Magazine released an album of new material, No Thyself, in October 2011, followed by a short UK tour.

All exit polls giving BJP 272 + Seats in Coming Lok Sabha Elections.
Barack Obama faces the prospect this week of having to offer his congratulations to MODI who was barred from the United States less than 10 years ago over massacres of Muslims in 2002.
It is crsytal clear that BJP will be governing India for coming five years with the support of Hindu Supermasict groups like RSS, VHP etc. etc.
In 2002 Modi has committed "crimes against humanity and other serious human violations of human rights, although he denies that.
Congress is on the path of self destruction. Arvind Kezriwal is novice & he did sucide by quitting Delhi.
Tough time for Muslims in India.
No one is sure about Bohra's prospects under MODI rule although he shared common platform
with Bohra Syedna.

Regardless that SMS is an ally of Modi, what we have to respect that democracy has produced a leader .
Modi is now on the path of prime ministership , whatever we say will not change the outcome.
If majority of Indians have chosen him through a transparent and fair process and ignored the accusations then that is democracy.
Get used to it otherwise Muslims will be further marginalised. Those who are victims can continue legal battles but I wonder what chance there is to get modi found guilty.

To all who argue over Modi becoming PM, Pakistan is ruled by Muslims. Are muslims still safe in Pakistan? We need to rise over religion in all aspects. What did congress do in the last 10 years. It had a decade to rule and has almost brought the country to its knees. In such circumstances, Modi is the only leader that seems to be proper (if Gujarat riots are kept aside ). Remember, Congress regime killed more Sikhs during 1984 anti Sikh riots. Still, it formed several governments after that.

Sadly Surprised to read your support for NaMo. By any standards, NaMo is not a competent leader. I understand congress govt may not have prospered the country. Another viable option to support would be Kejriwal, But please, not NaMo.
He is a murderer and a very very racist man. Not only muslims, but everyone may suffer under his rule. After dividing people into hindu-muslim-christians, they will not stop and further divide them into hindu sub castes.
NaMo is not only greedy for money, but highly communal and power hungry to establish caste system rule to please his role models (RSS and VHP)

Dear humanbeing, Kejriwal had got the opportunity when he became the Delhi Chief Minister and a chance to prove his mantle but what did he do. He quit in few days and that has not gone down well with people in regards to his reputation. Tell me, what do you think of that. Ok, did you oppose Congress all long since last two decades whenever they were in power. Remember, more Sikhs were killed in 1984 after Indira's assassination than in Gujarat riots.

Its all over the news and media that Pakistan is a failed state without any law and order. Majority of Pakistanis are hopeless about their country and wanting to migrate to US or to any developed country. On the contrary, there is lot of hope among Indians with regards to their country.

Bro wise_guy,
I agree that Congress is a devil and it is also responsible for the many communal riots that took place in last many years but Modi's case is totally different............ Whereas riots in Congress ruled states were political but the Gujarat 2002 riots (I prefer to call it Genocide) were "State sponsored" and totally based on Hindutva ideology. Modi is a staunch RSS pracharak and RSS alongwith its other saffron brigades like VHP, Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena, Hindu Mahasabha etc have a strong agenda of making India a "Hindu Rasthra", the Gujarat Genocide was part of their agenda which was drafted well before Independence. To understand the ideology of these saffron brigades you have to just look at their past history, there are volumes of evidences to prove that Modi who is a RSS stooge have systematically injected the poison of communal hatred in order to drive away Muslims from India.

By now all the parliamentry election results are declared . BJP has emerged as most powerful party with 282 seats on its own. India will be ruled by Saffron Brigade for coming 5 years. Modi will be sworn as PM on 20th May 2014.
Not a single Muslim MP in BJP's list. Muslims in India will not be presented in Lok Sabha even by a single MP. No good religious leaders for Muslim to put thier cause to government.
Looking to all these ground realities, my feeling is that Bohra religious leadership was really smart to maintain friendly relationship with Narendra Modi.
Other Muslim leaders shall take lessons from them.

There were muslim MPs before in previous governments. What milestone did they achieve for muslims. Majority of muslims are still socially and economically backwards in India inspite of Congress ruling for most part of the last 60+ years. So the notion that BJP government is death knell for muslims is absurd. Congress was no angelic either (remember the 1984 Sikh riots in which thousands of Sikhs were murdered by Congress agents). Muslims are themselves responsible for their plight today. Their exploding families (even though the family income is meagre), lack of education, wahabist mindset, deobandis and ulemas etc are the main reasons for the plight of muslims today. BJP and Hindu right are just the scapegoats.

This guy is speaking some sense though may not be fully true. One point he says that muslims should not allow themselves to be victims of vote bank politics is absolutely true.

In the post election scenerio living in safforn India , muslim leadership shall learn from Dawoodi Bohra's. When you can not fight your enemies if they are very strong than better to make friendship with them. Wise decision on part of QJ BS by attending the oath ceremony of NaMo. ( NaMo reciprocated by offering QJ BS seat if front row.) This is true leadership quality.

Now Modi is about to complete 100 days in Parliament.
His big achievements are :
1. The Planning Commission that existed for 50 years scrapped as it had not moved with the times. Is likely to be replaced by a think tank.
2. The previous government's 62 panels, called Groups of Ministers (GOMs) and Empowered Groups of Ministers (EGOMs), supposed to aid the decision-making process scrapped. Modi says there would be one decision-making centre.
3. Collegium or internal system of making appointments to the higher judiciary scrapped in favour of a commission comprising the prime minister and the chief justice of India.
4. Ambitious financial inclusion scheme - Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana - launched with 15 million bank accounts opened and each of the holders provided Rs.100,000 insurance cover on the first day. First phase target of 75 million account holders advanced to Jan 26, 2015, from Aug 14 that year.
5. Cancelled Aug 25 foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan after Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit invited Kashmiri separatists for talks. Seen as the government's tough side.
6. Modi prioritising relations with Asian nations as a part of government's Look East policy, visiting Bhutan and Nepal, followed by Japan Aug 30-Sep 3. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yia's visit to India is seen as a positive development for bettering relations between the two countries.
Some tough challenges lying ahead are:
1. Controlling inflation. Price of daily commodities are rising spirally making it difficult for an average Indian's daily life.
2. Panel created to locate the estimated Rs.50,000 crore ($8 billion) in 'black money' estimated to have been stashed away in tax havens abroad has not done anything till now.
3. Communal elements in his own party need to be crushed.

Congress Reaction to MODI's US tour :
Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his meeting with CEOs in US, Congress today said for all the "hype and hoopla" it was a "damp squib".
Amongst the participants only one company falls in the list of top 20 of the fortune 500 companies, only four companies that Modi met are listed in the top fifty of the list.
"It is to be noted that amongst the representatives of 17 companies that Modi met in the US, all 17 already have investment in India
"It is always expected that a Prime Minister representing 1.2 billion people will get a good reception and audience among the 3.5 million-strong Indian diaspora living in America and Canada. He appeared to have been carried away.
People of India elected a Prime Minister to represent India. But he has lived up to the words of his own mentor, LK Advani, of being a very good event promoter, event manager," Congress said.
The former Congress commerce minister said it would have been good had Modi been "gracious enough to acknowledge the role of many of his predecessors instead of ridiculing and insulting them" when he referred to India's notable achievements in the last 60 years.
At an official party briefing, Congress spokesman Raj Babbar said that when Modi talked of India's transition from being a "country of snakes" to that of mouse-wielding youngsters, he had praised the contributions of former Prime Minister the late Rajiv Gandhi in ushering in an IT revolution in the country.

How the #DeepState works: Did the Congress 'steal' the 2004, 2009 polls?
The BJP government was popular, and seemed to be a shoo-in in the general elections. But, to everyone's surprise, the Congress came to power in the general election
It sounded too good to be true, and it probably was too good to be true. My new conjecture is that, in fact, the election was stolen, using electronic voting machine fraud.
In the aftermath of 26/11 and its stunning demonstration of the Congress' incompetence and indifference to national interests, it was astonishing that they won the general election.

https://swarajyamag.com/politics/enemy- ... -discourse
The Congress and its allies have been opposing amendments proposed to the Enemy Property Act arguing that it hurts Indian citizens.
The opposition should ask themselves why they are willing to sacrifice national security at the altar of electoral politics
It is said that laws are the cornerstone of a healthy democracy. But often, the very representatives of our democracy, who are entrusted with the responsibility of upholding the law in the interest of the nation, have not only abused the law but ignored essential steps towards the protection of its sovereignty. The Enemy Property Act, 1968, is one such piece of legislation that has been sidelined for decades because of petty electoral politics, until recently.
The Enemy Property Act, 1968, was enacted by the Government of India after the Chinese aggression of 1962 and India's war with Pakistan in 1965. It ensured that the government was the custodian of "enemy property". Per this law, the government had the right to acquire the property of those people who, after the respective wars, had migrated to China or Pakistan (later included Bangladesh).
Pakistan's Ordinance No VII of 1947 prevented evacuees from selling or exchanging property. At the time, Pakistan had brazenly asked India to pass a similar law (when the Government of India protested). Pakistan then promulgated the Evacuee Property Ordinance (1949) in which case an individual, even if they were a citizen of Pakistan, who had a distant relative that had migrated to India, would have their property be tagged as "evacuee property".
Since then, China, Pakistan and Bangladesh have all managed to dispose the enemy property within their borders.
This delay was probably for the best since this bill, if passed, contained certain dubious clauses that would result in properties worth thousands of crores being seized by the Government of India to be returned to the claimants. The amendment marked 2 July 2010 as the cutoff date, which would mean that any property returned to a lawful heir before said date would stay with that person.
It is essential to note that enemy properties are those which were (and should be) seized by the government when the owner displayed disloyalty at a time of national crisis, helped aggressor nations and/or opted for the nationality of such aggressors. By its very definition, it is evident that the law was meant to protect the sovereignty of the nation regardless of the religion of the "enemy".

An eye-popping article about how the BJP is messing up India's history by teaching children lies, and how it is glorifying their hero Hitler.
There is a mention of Saifee school in the opening paragraphs. Quite appropriate given our Maula's love for Modi.
https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/1 ... urriculum/
Since the BJP came to power in 2014, it has stacked institutions with Hindu nationalist ideologues, presided over an increase in Hindu extremist vigilantism, and replaced Islamic place names with the names of Hindu nationalist heroes. The textbooks' promotion of an essentially Hindu history provides a foundation for slowly remaking India into an essentially Hindu country.

Thanks for posting this link. It is a very disturbing read.
India is going through some very difficult times with the Hindu nationalists trying to control the country and even rewriting history to portray everything and everyone who is not Hindu as un-Indian. On a recent trip to India I felt there is a lot of discontent and the general feeling is that Modi is taking the country down a dangerous path in which Muslims and other minorities feel disadvantaged, with even their lives in danger.
What is more amazing is the Muffy and his brothers and uncles love and support Modi and his RSS backed government. This year's tamashaa in Indore in which Modi was invited to the masjid and waaza of Imam Hussain was really the height of the wickedness and open display of Muffy's lust for power and fame. It is almost equivalent to inviting Yaazid to the majlis in which one is mourning Imam Hussain. Unbelievable.
However, interestingly, when I talk to my Muffy daawat relatives, even they don't seem to like Modi. Although, they don't take the next logical step and ask themselves why Muffy invites this thug and murderer to the masjid, specially on the days on Muharram. Apparently, the common Bohra's mind is so taken over by the blind worship of Muffy that they are simply unable to understand that what their leader is doing is truly wicked.
Sadly, Muffy's father was no better. He also loved to hob-nob with the rich and famous, tyrants and thugs and get his picture taken with them. I hardly know any tyrant SMB did not like. Saddam, Bal Thakre, Modi. The list is long.
It is sad how the Bohra leaders have fallen into this trap of pleasing political leaders. Perhaps it helps them protect their billion dollar empire, but one would hope that there would be some feelings of guilt, enough not to invite them at such important events like Imam Hussain's majlis. Worse is the state of the followers who do not think this is wrong. How low these people have fallen from the ideals of Ali and Hussain!

Imagined Threat—How Europe's Migration Foreign Policy is Fuelling Greater Instability
by Julia Himmrich —14 December 2017

As the European Council meets this week, migration policy is one of the top-billed topics of debate. Dahrendorf Post-Doctoral Fellow Julia Himmrich argues here that Europe's response to migration should be resilience not deterrence.
At this week's Council meeting, European leaders will debate the response to the internal and external dimensions of migration. But earlier this week, divisions between the EU institutions and member states became clear. Council President Donald Tusk, reflecting the position of the heads of states, rejected the relocation quotas suggested by the Commission, which would be a key factor in improving the burden sharing between EU member states.
The Commission has brought forward many initiatives on migration in the past year, with the most recent paper published last week. However, with member states in the driving seat, defending borders and treating migrant flows as a potential threat remains the dominant narrative. Externalising migration is now seen as the be-all and end-all solution.
Migration naturally has an international dimension, and with global mobility on the rise it will be central in future European foreign policy. Taking this external dimension of migration seriously is important. However, the current understanding of this dimension is built on false interpretations of threats, which makes the proposed solutions unsuitable.
With growing interest in on so-called 'hybrid threats', migration has been thrown in with other new challenges facing Europe such as cyber attacks and terrorism. How exactly migration fits in this group is not clear, however, references to destabilising factors and to organised crime are frequently made. The Implementation Plan on Security and Defence of the EU's Global Strategy says the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions should deal better with the "challenges related to migration". These challenges are not explained in the document, but have been discussed elsewhere in the European Agenda on Security and the Agenda on Migration. Trafficking and organised crime networks and managing high flows of irregular migrations seem to be the perceived threat. The EU isn't the only international body adopting this approach to migration: EU-NATO collaboration identified maritime cooperation for the purpose of migration management as a key area of cooperation.
A variety of deterrence strategies have been used to reduce the number of migrants coming into the EU. This includes reducing search and rescue operations, negotiating return agreements with third states, and building the capacity of migrants' states of origin to prevent citizens from departing on their journeys to Europe. Europe's misguided fear of being overrun by large numbers of migrants is defining its approach to migration. Neighbouring countries such as Turkey and Libya have been able to exploit this by threatening to 'unleash' migrants onto Europe to achieve favourable agreements with the EU, a tactic that Kelly Greenhill defined as the 'weaponisation' of migrants. The EU is putting itself in uncomfortable situations through agreements with governments that are considered responsible for the weak political and economic conditions from which individuals are trying to escape.
The trafficking and smuggling of migrants is also considered a key source of instability in Europe. Although the institutions make a clear distinction between smuggling, assisting migrants to cross borders illegally, and trafficking, forced migration for the exploitation of migrants, member states are less interested in these nuances.
The other priority defined by the EU Commission in its Agenda on Migration, to save migrants' lives and respond to the humanitarian crisis, falls into the background in the face of perceived threats. In one of the most striking instances of this de-prioritisation, the EU denied support Italy's Mare Nostrum operation, which sought to save migrants at sea. The justification was that this would be a so-called 'pull factor' for migrants. Instead the EU supported the Triton operation, which covers a much smaller area. The CSDP mission Operation Sophia supports these activities when needed but it does not represent a sustainable search and rescue effort.
However, the evidence shows that the number of migrants does not decrease when access to Europe is made more difficult. Instead, securitising and militarising borders and migration routes pushes smuggling practices closer to organised crime syndicates and creates new security challenges in the neighbourhood. In Libya, for example, armed militias are becoming involved because higher risk makes the business more lucrative. The most recent reports of slavery in Libya are only an indication of how the policy of deterrence and externalisation leads to further destabilisation.
The response to hybrid threats is typically to build resilience rather than to employ traditional strategies such as military action or deterrence. Interestingly, if one accepts the hybrid-threat narrative of migration, the solutions are not very different from what civil society and those operating on the ground have been arguing. Resilience in regard to migration would require states to be better prepared so that they are not threatened by blackmail from partner countries or encourage smuggling and trafficking networks. The focus should be on diminishing risk factors such as high death rates along the borders, bolstering legal pathways to migration to better control migration flows, and breaking up trafficking networks in Europe.
This is unlikely to be a popular response with those who simply want to reduce the number of migrants. This solution is boring. It is about the capacity and resources of local governments in Europe, about coordination, about permits to live and work. Not about sending out ships to 'fight migrants'.
Resilience also means future-proofing. New migration flows are likely to develop for unexpected reasons. Europeans need to be able to coordinate and respond to absorb migration flows; focusing only on reducing numbers will always put the continent in a defensive and vulnerable position. There are undeniably security concerns related to migration but these are connected to the instability of countries of origin and transit—it is not the migrants themselves that present a threat.
Against better judgment, European states have been pushing to control and restrict movement not just in its immediate neighbourhood but all the way to sub-Saharan Africa. In the external dimension, European migration policy should build on a strong internal policy which takes redistribution of migrants seriously, releases the pressure on communities carrying the burden, and prioritises the protection of asylum seekers. This way a sustainable external dimension can project stability, foster regional cooperation, and promote economic growth and mobility.

Q: What does "such as" refer to in "Public transportation such as train or bus"? Example Sentence:

Public transportation such as train or bus.

Question: What do the words "such as" refer to?
Do the words "such as" refer to "public transportation" or to "train and bus"?
I had this question in my exam.

A: 'Such as' can be used in two different ways:

*

*'Quadratic equations such as 3x^2+2x+1=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula' means all quadratic equations can be solved using this method, and the sentence is only giving an example for illustration.

*'People such as him are very evil' means people like him are very evil and not all people are evil.
You need to determine from the context which case it is. Hence without further information, 'public transportation such as train or bus' could mean public transportation in general (first sense above) or specifically trains and buses only (second sense above).

A: Such as means for example in this instance.
The example sentence is not a sentence, since at a minimum, it is missing a verb. Regardless, we can still examine the phrase with for example:

Public transportation for example train or bus

So trains and buses are examples of public transportation.
As for what such as refers to, I believe it is unclear. One could argue that such as refers to public transportation since the examples are about that. But such as also indicates what the examples are, so it could refer to the examples as well.

A: "Such as" is a phrase meaning "for example" or "like". Another way to write the sentence would be: "Public transportation, like trains or buses,"

A: The phrase such as train or bus is, in effect, an adjectival phrase modifying public transportation.  The nouns train and bus are subordinate to such as.  The only way the question makes sense to me is as asking what these words modify.
I wouldn't use "refer to" in this sense (I'd probably use "apply to"), but it's not impossible; I can readily imagine such a question being asked about a Latin sentence in which (as often happens, especially for poetic effect) an adjective is separated from its noun (but linked to it by gender and case).

A: The key to the question is the meaning of refer to. We often just think this means linked to or corresponds with and people often use it like this.
So logically, such as connects to both public transportation and train or bus.
There is, therefore, no clear "correct" answer.
The most careful and thoughtful answer is train or bus because the definition of refer to we'd expect to be operative here is alludes to, and such as alludes to the examples: trains or buses.
Smartest action: Maybe don't correct your teacher!

A: In the absence of commas, the use "such of" would refer to both of the following items.  Adding commas, could change the meaning, e.g. "He usually arrives via some form of public transportation such as a train, or a taxi."  The meaning of the latter may be enhanced by repeating the preposition, e.g. "He usually arrives via some form of public transportation such as a train, or else via a taxi."

Q: File IO tricks using c/c++ Are there some good books or articles about file processing with c/c++, especially when the file is very large, GB or something like that?

A: Not that I know of, but it's hard to imagine what issues you're concerned about, and you don't state your OS/filesystem.  You should check your OS documentation to see whether the usual fopen() et al are already or have 64 bit versions, your compiler docs for any command line switches or issues with std::fstream support of large files.  You should also consider memory mapping the files, and - to ensure the operating system supports you as well as possible with unnecessary adverse affect on other processes - whether it accepts any hints from your application about the style of access you plan to do on the file (i.e. random access vs sequential access).
So, from these three approaches: fopen et all, fstream, mmap - write a little program and test each... it'll take you a few hours and you'll learn a lot.

Thomas Jefferson embraced the architecture of Andrea Palladio as model for 18th century America, but he never actually visited any of the Veneto architect's buildings. Instead he came to know Palladio through Giacomo Leoni's first English translation of Quatro Libri dell'Architettura published in 1721. Now a beautifully-realized photographic exhibition, Found in Translation: Palladio–Jefferson, at the Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal subtly focuses on Jefferson's translation of Palladian architectural form into buildings for the new democratic nation.
Created and conceived by the Italian photographer Filippo Romano and Guido Beltramini, director of the Palladio Museum, the show features side-by-side images of Palladio's Veneto buildings and Virginia 'replicas' in the master's style. The exhibit also features original Palladio and Leoni books.
Rather than focus on the American translation—which many scholars and artists have already done—this show highlights the American structures as a way of highlighting the master's resilient but irreducible Italian architecture. Romano's images all foreground the architecture in contemporary situations—being visited, for example, by tourists—to remove a second time from its original context and further highlight the architecture's enduring principles.
The show runs until February 15th in the CCA's Octagonal Gallery and bookstore.

Q: Spectral Measures: Numerical Range Given a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$.
Consider a normal operator $N:\mathcal{D}(N)\to\mathcal{H}$.
The goal here is to prove:
$$\langle\sigma(N)\rangle=\mathcal{W}(N)$$
By a previous result one has:
$$\sigma(N)\subseteq\overline{\mathcal{W}(N)}$$
(Rigorous treatment: Normal Operators: Spectrum vs. Numerical Range)
As the numerical range is convex this proves the one inclusion.
Now, for a self-adjoint operator one has:
$$\inf\sigma(A)\leq\left(\langle\hat{\varphi},A\hat{\varphi}\rangle=\right)\int_{\sigma(A)\subseteq\mathbb{R}}z\mathrm{d}\nu_{\hat{\varphi}}(z)\leq\sup\sigma(A)$$
As the spectrum is closed this would prove the other inclusion.
But how to adapt this argument to normal operators?

A: The key property here is that for probability measures:
$$\int_\Omega f\mathrm{d}\rho\in\overline{\langle f(\Omega)\rangle}$$
As the spectrum is closed it holds:
$$\int_{\sigma(N)}z\mathrm{d}\nu_{\hat{\varphi}}\in\langle\sigma(N)\rangle$$
(For a unit vector it is a probability measure.)
Concluding that the other inclusion holds, too:
$$\overline{\mathcal{W}(N)}\subseteq\langle\sigma(N)\rangle$$

By definition, for bounded $f\geq0$ we have
$$
\int_{\sigma(N)}f\,d\nu_\hat\varphi=\sup\left\{\sum_j \alpha_j\,\nu_\hat\varphi(\Delta_j):\ \bigcup_j\Delta_j=\sigma(N), \text{ and }\sum_j \alpha_j\,\chi_{\Delta_j}\leq f\right\}.
$$
So we can choose a sequence $\{s_n\}$ of simple functions with $s_n\nearrow f$ uniformly (this is achievable because $f$ is bounded). By choosing a subsequence if necessary, we may assume $f-s_n<2^{-n}$, say. If $s_n=\sum_j\alpha_j\,\chi_{\Delta_j}$, then $f(t)-\alpha_j<2^{-n}$ a.e. on $\Delta_j$. So if we choose one such a $t$ for each $\Delta_j$, we have that $f-\sum_jf(t_j)\,\chi_{\Delta_j}<2^{-n+1}$.
Note that $\sum_j\nu_\hat\varphi(\Delta_j)\,f(t_j)$ is a convex combination of $f(t_1),\ldots,f(t_r)$. So $\int_{\sigma(N)}f\,d\nu_\hat\varphi$ is a limit of convex combinations of points in $f(\sigma(N))$.
For complex $f$, we can write it as $f_1-f_2+i(f_3-f_4)$ with $f_1,\ldots,f_4\geq0$, and we define
$$
\int_{\sigma(N)}f\,d\nu_\hat\varphi=\int_{\sigma(N)}f_1\,d\nu_\hat\varphi-\int_{\sigma(N)}f_2\,d\nu_\hat\varphi+i\left(\int_{\sigma(N)}f_3\,d\nu_\hat\varphi-\int_{\sigma(N)}f_4\,d\nu_\hat\varphi\right).
$$
So
$
\int_{\sigma(N)}z\,d\nu_\hat\varphi(z)$ is a limit of convex combinations of convex combinations $\sum_jt_j\,\nu_\hat\varphi(\Delta_j)$, with $t_j\in\sigma(N)$.

A: Suppose that $T$ is normal with spectral measure $E$. Let $\lambda_{1},\lambda_{2},\cdots\lambda_{n}\in\sigma(T)$, and suppose that $\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},\cdots,\alpha_{n}$ are real scalars in $[0,1]$ for which $\sum_{j}\alpha_{j}^{2}=1$. Let $\epsilon > 0$ be small enough that the closed spheres of radius $\epsilon$ centered at $\lambda_{j}$ are disjoint. Then there are mutually orthogonal unit vectors $x_{j}$ such that $E(B_{\epsilon}[\lambda_j])x_{j}=x_{j}$, where $B_{\epsilon}[\lambda_{j}]$ is the closed sphere of radius $\epsilon$ centered at $\lambda_{j}$. Then, because every $x_{j}\in\mathcal{D}(T)$, the following expression is well-defined:
$$
       (T\sum_{j}\alpha_{j}x_{j},\sum_{j}\alpha_{j}x_{j})=\sum_{j}\alpha_{j}^{2}(Tx_{j},x_{j}).
$$
One has $(Tx_{j},x_{j})\approx \lambda_{j}$, and the smaller the $\epsilon$ that is chosen at the beginning, the closer this approximation can be made. It follows that $\sum_{j}\alpha_{j}^{2}\lambda_{j} \in \overline{\mathcal{W}(T)}$. Therefore,
$$
               \overline{\mbox{co}(\sigma(T))}\subseteq\overline{\mathcal{W}(T)},
$$
where $\mbox{co}(\sigma(T))$ is the convex hull of $\sigma(T)$.
Suppose that $T$ is bounded. Then the spectrum $\sigma(T)$ is closed and bounded. Hence, the closed convex hull of $\sigma(T)$ is the intersection of all closed half planes containing $\sigma(T)$. Every such half plane has the form $\lambda_{0}+e^{i\alpha}\{\lambda : \Re\lambda \ge 0\}$ for some $\lambda_{0}\in\mathbb{C}$ and some $\alpha \in [0,2\pi]$. Such a half plane contains the spectrum of $T$ iff $\sigma(e^{-i\alpha}(T-\lambda_{0}))\subseteq\{ \lambda : \Re\lambda \ge 0 \}$, which is equivalent to $\Re(e^{-i\alpha}(T-\lambda_{0}I))\ge 0$. Hence, $\mathcal{W}((e^{-i\alpha}(T-\lambda_{0}I)) \subseteq \{ \lambda :\Re\lambda \ge 0\}$, which guarantees
$$
           \mathcal{W}(T)\subseteq\lambda_{0}+e^{i\alpha}\{\lambda :\Re\lambda \ge 0\},
$$
for any bounded normal $T$. Hence,
$\mathcal{W}(T) \subseteq\overline{\mbox{co}(\sigma(T))}$ for such $T$
because $\mathcal{W}(T)$ is contained every closed half plane containing $\sigma(T)$. Combining this result with that of previous paragraph gives
$$\overline{\mathcal{W}(T)} = \overline{\mbox{co}(\sigma(T))}$$
for any bounded normal $T$. These arguments do not directly extended to the case of unbounded $T$ because of domain issues that can be avoided using these arguments.
To lift the restriction that $T$ is bounded, consider the restriction $T_{r}$ of $T$ to the subspace $\mathcal{H}_{r} = E\{ \lambda : |\lambda| \le r \}$ for $r > r_{0}$, where $r_{0}$ is large enough that $\mathcal{H}_{r_{0}} \ne \{0\}$. For such $r$, the spectrum of $T_{r}$ satisfies
$$
        \sigma(T)\cap\{ \lambda : |\lambda| < r \} \subseteq \sigma(T_{r}) \subseteq \sigma(T)\cap\{ \lambda : |\lambda| \le r \}.
$$
And $\mathcal{W}(T_{r})\subseteq\mathcal{W}(T)$ because $\mathcal{H}_r \subset\mathcal{D}(T)$ for all finite $r$. There is equality of
$$
              \overline{\mbox{co}(\sigma(T_{r}))}=\overline{\mathcal{W}(T_{r})}.
$$
Because every unit vector $x \in \mathcal{H}$ is a limit of $x_{r}=E\{\lambda : |\lambda| \le r\}x$ as $r\uparrow\infty$, then
$$
   \lim_{r\uparrow\infty} (T_{r}x_{r},x_{r})/\|x_{r}\|^{2} = (Tx,x),\;\;\; x\in\mathcal{D}(T), \\
    \implies \mathcal{W}(T) \subseteq \overline{\bigcup_{r > r_{0}}\mathcal{W}(T_{r})} \subseteq \overline{\mathcal{W}(T)}, \\
    \implies \overline{\mathcal{W}(T)}=\overline{\bigcup_{r > r_{0}}\mathcal{W}(T_{r})}, \\
   \implies \overline{\mathcal{W}(T)} = \overline{\bigcup_{r > r_{0}}\overline{\mathcal{W}(T_{r})}}
             =\overline{\bigcup_{r > r_{0}}\overline{\mbox{co}(\sigma(T_{r}))}}
$$
Because of the first spectral inclusion at the beginning of this paragraph, every convex combination of points in $\sigma(T)$ is in $\sigma(T_{r})$ for some $r > r_{0}$. Therefore,
$$
    \mbox{co}(\sigma(T))=\bigcup_{r > r_{0}}\mbox{co}(\sigma(T_{r})).
$$
It follows that
$$
                   \overline{\mbox{co}(\sigma(T))}=\overline{\bigcup_{r > 0}\overline{\mbox{co}(\sigma(T_{r}))}} = \overline{\mathcal{W}(T)}.
$$


On a *nix fileserver purpose-built to host a 20TB zpool, this is not what you expect to see. Yet, I've been seeing a lot of this recently, and it always ends the worst possible way: in a hard kernel crash.
ZFS has performed its job admirably throughout, with no data corruption ever observed or recorded, but that doesn't make up for my fileserver crashing increasingly frequently. It used to be once a month or so; in the past week that worsened significantly to > once a day. Furthermore, the timeouts are highly dependent on I/O load: the more data I shift around simultaneously, the more likely I'm going to be holding the power button for 4 seconds.
Looking into it, I read that the timeout issue could be mitigated by patching the ATA driver to accept a configurable timeout value, and increasing it to a value which was non-problematic. Details can be accessed via the FreeBSD wiki's ATA page, under the heading ATA/SATA DMA Timeout Issues.
Whilst this may work (and kudos to Volker for testing it out), it didn't sound like an ideal solution; a bit like papering over the hole in the wall instead of re-plastering. Increasing a timeout doesn't address why the timeout is being hit in the first place.
As it transpired, the upgrade process was dead easy. I was running STABLE, so I needed to do a source upgrade. This may take a little longer than firing off freebsd-update, but it isn't a whole lot harder (just so long as you allow yourself enough time to sort out any pesky port update issues and to check over the changes to /etc). If anybody's interested I can post the upgrade procedure.
But the best bits were yet to come. All the old timeout problems have disappeared, leaving me with a rock-solid FreeBSD server (just as it should be). Furthermore, disk I/O throughput is noticeably improved. Now there's a handy bonus!
However, the mystery remains: what caused the ATA driver to shift all of a sudden, from logging occasional timeout errors, to consistently logging many & causing hard crashes multiple times per day?


• The running of the bulls in Pamplona is part of a festival celebrating local Saint Fermin. Fermin is the patron saint of boot-makers, and died from decapitation.
• Bull runs happen in other towns around the world, including Tlacotalpan, Mexico, and Cave Creek, Arizona.
• In New Orleans, a version of the running happens during their own festival of Saint Fermin, and features people on rollerskates chasing runners while swinging plastic baseball bats.
• The world-record circumference of a bull horn is 40.75 inches. That means the horn was over a foot thick!

Back in October of last year, I was perusing the Jamie's Tarantulas website when I noticed a species listed that I hadn't seen before. The Aphonopelma schmidti (Superstition Mountain Tarantula, among other more colorful common names) being offered was a 1.75-2″ female. I was immediately struck by the beautiful earthy tones of the adults—stunning blonds and rich reddish-browns—so I did some research on the personality and husbandry requirements. Described as a shy, somewhat skittish T, the A. schmidti required dry substrate deep enough for burrowing, low humidity, and room temperatures. Perfect. As the females posted on Jamie's site generally don't last long, I quickly purchased her.
A photo of my A. schmidti shortly after I acquired her in October of 2013.
When she arrived, I was immediately captivated by her giant abdomen, which seemed ridiculously out of proportion when compared to the rest of her body. After setting up her enclosure, being sure to add enough dry coco fiber to allow her to dig, I allowed her to sit and acclimate to her new surroundings. As stated in the accounts I had read, she immediately started digging and bulldozing her enclosure. However, unlike other burrowing species I keep, she never seemed quite satisfied with her work. Several times, she would completely bury herself for a few weeks, only to pop up again later through a brand new den entrance. Over the course of a month, she buried her cork bark hide, a plant, and two water dishes.
January passed, then February, then March. Let's just say, Aphonopelma's distinction as slow growers is well deserved. Over this time, I made over a dozen more acquisitions. And as some of my other Ts molted three times, warranting rehousings, my little A. schmidti sat in the corner of her little burrow, only emerging periodically to drink or to endlessly rearrange her substrate.
Then, finally, it happened. Last Friday, as I was getting ready for work, I noticed that she was upside-down. When I returned home that evening, it was to a freshly-molted T(FINALLY!).
My A. schmidti three days after a long-overdue molt.
With her tones becoming closer to adult coloration, I was reminded of what attracted me to this species in the first place. She now sports a strikingly blond carapace, redish-brown hairs on the abdomen, and a lightening of the color on her legs below the femurs. Although I haven't been able to get a good measurement yet, she looks to be about 2.25-2.5″. Again, a slow grower, but well worth the wait.
For those looking for an active, fast-growing species, an A. schmidti might not be for you. Although the non-stop digging and tunneling can be amusing, this is a T that can be quite secretive and will spend a lot of its time hiding in its den. Still, their husbandry is quite simple, and they are pretty little Ts who will likely outlive some of the faster-growing species, and when they do molt, it really is cause to celebrate. Personally, I think that the A. schmidti would make a wonderful first T for the patient keeper.


Q. I plan to build a pond using concrete blocks that will be 8 feet in diameter and about 4 feet deep, with a 4-foot high waterfall at one end. I hope to keep about a dozen koi. Filtration would be a sand filter that holds about 200 pounds of #20 silica sand and runs on a 1-horsepower pump.
Now for the questions. First, is the sand filter adequate to keep the water clean and healthy? Is the silica sand the right grade? Second, will I need to build more filters, such as a prefilter, a biological filte, or a plant filter? Third, is my pump up to job of circulating water? Lastly, what is the most effective way to lay out the plumbing for the pond?

Game Developer IGT Releases New Online Slot Bubble Craze
January 6, 2015. By Christian Edwards
American based online game designer and developer IGT have rolled out their latest slot from the production line in the form of a 5 reel slot titled Bubble Craze.
Bubble Craze sees IGT's well-earned reputation for producing excellent and innovative gaming continue intact, and the gameplay and traditional reel's area has undergone such a transformation that confusion may rain down on the un-initiated player the first time that they play the slot.
IGT (International Game Technology) is an online gaming software designer and developer which has its headquarters based in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States; and they also maintain a presence throughout the world through a number of satellite branches.
The company was founded in 1975 by William S. Redd and in 2005 IGA launched their gaming ambitions outside of the USA for the first time.
In 2014 IGA was purchased by the Italian gaming company GTECH for $6.4 billion dollars, with the view of merging the two together in the future for a planned new entity which would be based in the United Kingdom.
The first thing that the gamer will notice when they play Bubble Craze is the unusual layout of the reel area.
Set within a neon-fluorescent theme, the tradition reel positions have been set on their side, akin to a 90 degree angle, and from top to bottom the slot positions available run in a 3-4-5-4-3 order.
Additionally the bubbles as per mentioned in the title are in-fact the symbols in the game, and they can be differentiated by colour and appearance.
Throw in some bright lights, an energetic soundtrack, Free Spins, Multipliers and Transformers, and there is certainly a lot going on with this game for the player to take in and enjoy.
Bubble Craze appears to be continuing the current trend of pushing the pokie slot boundaries, and if this is a sign of things to come we look forward to the next instalment from the IGT team.

Cortese Caffé Story
Choose a language GR EN
Cortese Story
In the past, coffee was secretly consumed as a medicine in the back rooms of some pharmacies, away from the prying eyes of the public. This is how the first coffee shops emerged and coffee became a drinking tradition. Cortese caffè was also part of this culture and the first Cortese cup was drunk secretly in these hidden rooms.
The name Cortese, Italian for courteous, was the nickname given to a young medical student, the creator of the Cortese blend. It is said that he chose, instead of following the norms of his aristocratic origin, to mix in with the «commons» as his heart dictated.
It was his deep knowledge in Chemistry that gave him the ability to innovate; as a result he created a unique blend comprised of varieties that are roasted separately before being mixed.
The young Cortese managed not only to create an aromatic blend with hints of chocolate and nuts, but also a blend that leaves the drinker no doubt as to the quality of the seeds or the detailed attention given to the brewing process.

NZ Rose is a late harvest apple--one of the few we pick in May. It is sweet and pinky red with freckles (lenticles). It was bred in New Zealand, with Splendour as its mother. It keeps well, so we often keep them for selling in the winter, when there are fewer choices in the stall.
