Q: Find the exclusive OR in an Array by the index, Java I have a string of length 15: "10101000000010". i want to take the exclusive like below of every alternative index in the array like show below
'
    int s = a[3] ^ a[ 5] ^ a[ 7] ^ a[ 9] ^ a[11] ^ a[13] ^ a[15];'

//here ^ skips 1 index all the way up until the end of length of the string
'
   int t = a[3] ^ a[ 6] ^ a[ 7] ^ a[10] ^ a[11] ^ a[14] ^ a[15];'

//here ^ skips 2 index and lets 2 go, skips 2 lets 2 go... and so on
I dont know how to come about approaching this. Make a method with parameter the length of the array and have the method return an integer (0 or 1) which is primarily what its going to be since it's Exclusive or
So to clear it up again...  I want this to be done to any size array. like 17 now
    int z = a[3] ^ a[ 5] ^ a[ 7] ^ a[ 9] ^ a[11] ^ a[13] ^ a[15] ^ a[17]

THIS IS FOR HAMMING CODE
A byte of data: 10011010
Create the data word, leaving spaces for the parity bits: _ _ 1 _ 0 0 1 _ 1 0 1 0
Calculate the parity for each parity bit (a ? represents the bit position being set):
Position 1 checks bits 1,3,5,7,9,11:
? _ 1 _ 0 0 1 _ 1 0 1 0. Even parity so set position 1 to a 0: 0 _ 1 _ 0 0 1 _ 1 0 1 0
Position 2 checks bits 2,3,6,7,10,11:
0 ? 1 _ 0 0 1 _ 1 0 1 0. Odd parity so set position 2 to a 1: 0 1 1 _ 0 0 1 _ 1 0 1 0
Position 4 checks bits 4,5,6,7,12:
0 1 1 ? 0 0 1 _ 1 0 1 0. Odd parity so set position 4 to a 1: 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 _ 1 0 1 0
Position 8 checks bits 8,9,10,11,12:
0 1 1 1 0 0 1 ? 1 0 1 0. Even parity so set position 8 to a 0: 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
Code word: 011100101010.

 p[1]=d[0]^d[2]^d[3]^d[5]^d[6];
 p[2]=d[1]^d[2]^d[3];
 p[3]=d[4]^d[5]^d[6];

A: If perfomance allows, I would recommend using a for-loop.
initialize by 0, then, inside the for-loop check the index and perform XOR or continue.

A: Gonna have a stab at some generic solution.
int source[] = ...; // fill the source array
int steps[] = ...; // fill the array of steps
int startIndex = 0; // assign value of first, 0 being the first element of the array
int result = xorMethod(startIndex, source, steps);

public int xorMethod (int startIndex, int sourceArray[], int stepsArray[]) {
    // going to ignore all tests, because I'm lazy
    int xorResult = sourceArray[startindex];
    for (int i=1, step=startIndex+stepsArray[0] ; step<sourceArrray.length ; i++, step+=stepsArray[i%stepsArray.length]+1) {
        tmpInt ^= sourceArray[step];
    }
    return xorResult;
}

It should be possible to also specify an upper boundary. The condition of the for loop would change to for (... ; step<endIndex ; ...) (or <= is you want endIndex to be inclusive) and endIndex would have to be passed as a method parametre, but otherwise if should work as a generic solution to your problem.
If you don't want a step, but want consecutive indices, you just have to have a value of 0 is the steps array, such as int steps[] = {0}; or int steps[] = {2, 0}.
As an example:
int source[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
int steps[] = {2};
int startIndex = 2;
int result = xorMethod(startIndex, source, steps);

And result should contain source[2]^source[5]^source[8], or 2^5^8.
Another example:
int source[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19};
int steps[] = {1, 2};
int startIndex = 0;
int result = xorMethod(startIndex, source, steps);

And result should contain source[0]^source[2]^source[5]^source[7]^source[10]^source[12]^source[15]^source[17].

Wolf Administration Urges Responsibility, Designated Driving Ahead of the Labor Day Holiday
HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Penn State Health Life Lion, on Thursday held a media event to urge responsibility and designated driving ahead of the Labor Day Holiday.
"As friends and families come together to enjoy the last big holiday of the summer, we ask everyone to celebrate responsibly and plan ahead to get home safely," said Major James B. Basinger, director of the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Patrol.
"Troopers have a zero-tolerance approach toward impaired driving, which is a serious, but completely preventable crime."
During the 2017 Labor Day holiday enforcement period, troopers made 552 DUI arrests and investigated 90 crashes in which alcohol was a factor.
According to PennDOT data, there were more than 3,100 total crashes statewide over the long holiday weekend; 314 of those were alcohol-related that resulted in 11 fatalities.
"Drunk and drugged driving risks the lives of not only drivers and their passengers, but also other motorists, pedestrians and first responders," said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards.
"With the technology and resources available today, there is never an excuse to get behind the wheel while impaired."
As part of the national impaired driving enforcement mobilization, which runs from Aug. 15 through Sept. 3, Pennsylvania's DUI task forces, the Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement statewide will also conduct checkpoints and roving patrols as part of the outreach effort.
Penalties for a DUI conviction in Pennsylvania are based on factors including an individual's criminal history, blood alcohol content (BAC) level and whether or not there were injuries or property damage occurred. Potential consequences include thousands of dollars in fines, a license suspension, and prison time.
"The smartest, safest thing you can do is get a designated driver or use a ride sharing service," said Dr. Jeffrey Lubin, division chief, pre-Hospital and transport medicine at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. "You'd much rather be in one of those vehicles than one of ours."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) developed the SaferRide smartphone app as a tool to decrease impaired driving.
The app can be used to quickly pinpoint the user's location and call a taxi or trusted friend for a safe ride home. SaferRide is free and available for Android and Apple devices.

Let's first of all square this whole Rolls Royces going off road thing because it's not that much of a surprise.
Nearly 100 years ago, Rolls Royces would regularly going off road because there were no roads on.
Actually, the legend of Rose Rose was built on the fact they were indestructible and they could drive on gravel roads.
Does it feel Rome to be doing this in a Rolls Royce?
And Motion does cars?
The cars?
It's a massive SUV ship.
Refinement in this thing is extraordinary.
Been little 10 minutes, and it is unquestionably the quietest SUV ever built.
I think in engineering terms, this is incredibly impressive.
It's massive, It's quiet.
It's so comfortable.
The right quality is, yeah, it's not being seen in a car.
This type before.
However, on this subject from the rear 3/4 I can live with it from the front.
I think it looks.
It's a technical phrase with this terrible.
It's like dynamic here, 7780 feet bound to in this brand new Rolls Royce.
That's worth as much as a row of houses in, say, on dumb.
That's a big public.
Should you really get a Rolls Royce covered in for want of a better word crap.
Let's plays.
You shouldn't be so its windows up and I'm gonna get much on a road.
Rolls Royce has built an SUV.
It's not much of a surprise, really, is it?
Last night, a man from Rolls Royce told us how the company had agonized for ages about whether it should build an SUV or not.
But I'm not sure I buy into that.
It was a no brainer.
Commercially.
This vic was always going to sell because let's face it, as the world becomes richer, the rich people become more tasteless.
And they want Maura Maura SUVs.
And that's why Lamborghini makes one and Bentley made for an importer.
Makes one, and I can't believe I'm saying this Ferrari is going to make one.
So here we are in a Rolls Royce SUV.
Now I'll lay my cards on the table from the outset.
I don't like you.
I can't think of a single situation which would rather have an SUV in which to live with and use as my everyday spacious car over in a state car state cause a better I'd rather be lowered to the ground and not so heavy and not so ostentatious.
But I have to put myself into someone else's shoes and try and understand why someone might want to buy this car, so I'll treat it objectively.
A promise.
The car is called the Cullen, and that's named after the largest uncut diamond ever taken out of the ground.
I stood there last night as a Rolls Royce of Design Team talked me around The reasons why this line met that line and that's wage did this.
Matt did that, and I thought to myself, It all sounds really clever, but it's a bit gawping.
I've not met a single person who says they think the Cullinan looks good, Officer.
Positive reaction.
Some people will make its features for it.
It was not too bad from this angle or that angle, but for well over £300,000 you shouldn't be justifying yourself by saying it doesn't look too bad, should you?
Now, I normally shy away from discussing subject of matters you know, taste the way things look.
But with the cone, I have to get involved because I just don't think it looks very good.
It looks to me like a Chinese knockoff off what they think a Rolls Royce SUV should look like, You know?
I mean, when you go to a motor show and you see something that looks a bit, yeah, that's it.
That's how this car looks.
That's just terrible.
I think Theo engineering that's gone into this thing is impressive.
They've been doing it for about three or four years.
It's on a bespoke platform.
It's a heightened moved around phantom underneath.
But it is a completely unique platform for this car.
That's critical, because if you go and look at a tourist or a bentayga or a Cayenne or a twi regular, they all share commonality.
This thing doesn't this these a standalone vehicle, and that's very impressive.
And it means it's very, very, very strong indeed.
And when you got a stiff structure, you've got stability.
When you got stability, you can have great suspension.
So from the moment you get in this thing, the ride comfort is different level.
There is no other SUV that gives you the sense of serenity that you have in this car.
The M V H is incredible.
It's got about 100 kilograms of sound deadening material wedged up inside wheel arteries in the floor.
Everything else this is a a silent SUV.
At times, you're not sure if the engine is running.
That's the ultimate accolade for a luxury vehicle.
When you keep trying to start it again, you turn it off.
I've done it three times today in this car, the ride at low speed Very good.
When you get to medium speeds again, it has that slightly magic carpet quality.
But occasionally there's a big trans verse line, a scene between two surfaces that rattles throw their spears a bit and it isn't that dignified.
It could be better, I think.
But all in all, it does that job better than any other car of its type that I've driven.
Well, then Rolls Royce.
So if you want to be silent and be comfortable, that misses the best SUV ever made.
Now the engine, 6.75 liters twin turbo charged more power than the Saturn five rocket.
Yes, this thing weighs, you know, not far short of three tons, but when it picks up its skirt by Alec goes, the old Power reserve needle goes down to north on it, just fires along.
I have no idea how exciting it is, but it's more than enough for something this big.
I tell you why.
Because when you get to the first corner, you've got to stop the bloody thing on.
It does that just about.
But I wouldn't want it to be any more powerful because it's so heavy of the sense of inertia.
Trying to stop all that mass is really tricky.
And then there's the handling.
There's body roll because it needs to be supple to keep that that lovely ride on.
Also, it just starts to understeer.
It's a bit like the Phantom in that respect.
It lulls you into thinking it's Hayden all that mass on the moment at which it goes.
Actually, I was tricking you.
You're in trouble, so don't bounds Going too much.
Don't think for a minute this can compete with the likes of the Earth or the Bentayga or any of those in terms of agility.
It's a much, much bigger beast, but the person who buys it, I suspect, won't care about that.
Does the color and owner drive it themselves will be driven in it unquestionably they drive it.
This is not a phantom.
What's it like to drive its commanding?
The driving position is Yeah, it's imperious.
I'm just looking down on the poor people of the world.
I'm not that comfortable with that.
But I suppose some people are the cabin.
Well, I tell you what, rather than do that on the move, let's go around the cabin now and then we'll come back to some more bits about how it drives and how it makes you feel.
For here is the outside of the Cullinan.
I'm not gonna walk around and describe this styling because you can see it.
But maybe we just leave the outside alone.
I'll go to the rear 3/4 with record.
Now this is the only surprising bit for me the more time I spent with a car bomb or this kind of work for me.
Okay, it's a bit Range Rover.
It's quite bulky.
It's quite powerful on this sort of suggestion that there's a luggage compartment in on the back of it.
It kind of works, but the boot itself is it, in fact, with those massive wheel arch intrusions there because it's got bigger spheres that's a tiny bit.
If you have two Labradors, one will need to be dominant.
So what they've done is they've sacrificed luggage space for Wait for it for really groom on.
There's plenty of that.
Allow me to show you okay and we get It's spacious, but I sense that being a there's been a clash of conscience that Rolls Royces to whether they needed the re Allegra, um, or the boot space.
And they've happened across a solution that isn't necessarily I thought it would be.
But there we go.
They know more about cars than I do.
You've got touch screens here.
You've got a U.
B C down in there to charge your devices.
You control the radio, you've got different Peter functions and you've got a glass roof.
It is luxurious, and there are so many different rear seat up.
This is the bench option, so this gives you the proper family roles.
But you can go for individual receipts and you can go for the super luxurious ones which have extra padding and look a bit like a first class aircraft seat.
The all powerful driving seat ahead of me lies a world of four of people that made so Steri Will has got a thicker rim than a phantom.
I quite like thin rim symbols, and Roger was this particular little bacon like one on The Phantom seven.
But this hasn't got it.
This is a rough, leathery substance that looks like rubber.
Don't understand it.
The rest of the materials are beautiful.
I mean, it is.
It's a step above a bentayga in terms of the materials used.
I'll give them that.
The ergonomics poncey word for where stuff is are quite baffling at times.
These little buttons here they control what you see is doing in terms of fans because it will cool your bottom or heating because it'll heat your bottom or you'll hit a student will.
If you want a massage, well, that should be in the same place.
But that's down here that's hidden down there.
What is that down there?
And those of them why they're so small.
I can't see them.
This is the the sort of Rolls Royce control.
Did I drive things?
It all comes from being double ultimately and the stuff on the on the leeward side of where I'm sitting.
I can't see this arm rest here is it feels really cheap.
You know, the rest of it was expensive.
That, to me feels that the whiff of Citrine Picasso about that, um instrument pack pretty this knave screen are quite like that because it's quite small.
However crucially, watch this when the current and driver can't be asked to lean there that I just can't be asked to reach that door can't be asked.
Almost worth 330 grand alone.
Is it again?
What's that?
Yeah, I cannot be.
I can't be asked to move six inches.
It's a mixture.
It's not as expensive as a phantom on.
It doesn't feel it.
It lacks the opulence.
It lacks some of some of the quality.
The seat is really impressive in the front.
It's supportive and it's very comfortable.
And that, coupled with the lack of noise and harshness in the cabin, means this is a very, very relaxing place to be in long journeys and not gonna be fatigue.
This, in many ways, is a car you don't I want to get out off because it's so comfortable.
The seat is so good.
The ride is just so plush on the general sense of silence and of being in something that's engine into perfection is that's just so powerful.
But also you don't look at it because when you get out for me, that illusions shattered.
I just don't want to see it.
I want park it up and walk away from it.
The real three courses getting better for me.
But just look her, is it?
I just feel a bit ashamed to be scene in it, which is I know it's sad, and I'm sure there are lots of you out there.
They think it's gorgeous.
I've never, ever allowed myself tohave.
You have an opinion and overall opinion about the car so fundamentally swayed by the boy It looks, but I just don't wanna be seen in this thing.
I really don't.
However, the new Phantom I have one of those.
So what I say to you is if you can deal with the looks, this is a great car.
If you can't like me, get a phantom any of no, just do the world a favor.

Missouri Principal One of '20 to Watch' for Improving Education through Technology
A St. Louis area middle school principal has received national recognition for his work to increase technology in the classroom to boost student learning and professional development for educators.
Dr. Robert Dillon, principal at the Maplewood Richmond Heights Middle School, was selected by the National School Boards Association as one of "20 to Watch" for the 2012-2013 school year.
"Technology use at our school has truly unleashed new ways of learning," Dillon said. "It is essential for school leaders to build and develop their professional learning network and culture so that all members of the community are learning on a continuous basis."
Dillon will be honored at the CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) conference in March and at the National School Boards Association annual conference in April. This year's "20 to Watch" honorees include classroom teachers, technology directors, superintendents and the director of an international technology organization.
"Congratulations to Dr. Dillon for his use of technology to improve student learning as well as the effectiveness of educators at his school," said Commissioner of Education Chris L. Nicastro. "The use of technology in instruction is key to preparing students for success in college and a career."
Dillon has been an educator in Missouri for the past 17 years. Prior to joining the staff at Maplewood Richmond Heights Middle School, he was an English and journalism teacher at Windsor High School and Fort Zumwalt South High School and a school leader in the Fort Zumwalt and Kirkwood school districts.
The "20 to Watch" program was established in 2006 as part of the National School Boards Association 20th anniversary celebration. The program identifies emerging leaders in education technology who have the potential to impact the field for the next 20 years. Since that time, the organization has recognized 140 educators nationwide for their work to advance the use of technology in education.

Please take note that Tyrodia's EVE Blog should now be referred to as Flying Free.
Finally, though we're sadenned to learn that EVE Monkey is leaving New Eden, we're very happy to welcome in the EVE Blog Pack our newest member @Lumenarious_Rex and his blog "A Scout's Domain"! Welcome a board mate!
EVE Online Action Wallpaper Competition - The Judging begins!
After the Scenic Wallpaper submissions, here then are the 16 Action entries to the EVE Online Wallpaper Competition. Good luck to all participants!
After seven months and seven hundred cans of red-bull, I can finally show you guys what happens when you put New Eden, the Unreal 3 Engine and large quantities of caffeine into a blender.
This was my first jump into the Unreal 3 Engine, as well as my first for a fair few programs. It all began as a University project to show the progression of cinematics within game engines.
My love for the EVE Universe and writing EVE fiction were the real inspiration for this Machinima. This meant that the film was not going to portray a world ruled by game mechanics, but rather an alternate reality of EVE that I use when I write fiction.
Huge thanks to Kyoko Sakoda for his utter genius and support during this project, as well as everyone who helped me with this, whether it was inspiration, motivation, or ensuring I was well fed during its development.
Just like harvesting high-end minerals, adding new EVE Online blogs is a time consuming effort that yields great rewards! It's an investment that's produced some amazing results; benefits that we get to share on a daily basis. These are the latest blogs added to my EVE Blogroll!
That's 51 new blogs added in the last few days to the EVE Blogroll. I just hope I didn't miss anyone! Please comment to let me know!
The catching up is almost over!
Action Wallpaper submission by Perseus Kallistratos of Aggressive Tendencies.
...or as Roc likes to call it "Fighter Drone pilots"! Still, you have to admit the game looks great! And I must say I'm happy to see another Space-based MMO see the day. It can only pressure the Devs from CCP Games to make EVE Online better!
Come to think of it, a fighter pilot FPS seems like a fun idea!
Coming May 18th, eh! The wait begins!
In view of the amazing screenshots we've been getting for our Wallpaper Contest, I thought I take the opportunity to share them with you as I receive them. I've received 9 so far and will need to catch-up over the next day or so and present all of them. Once I have caught up to the latest one, I will post the screenshots as they come in! Thanks again to all the participants, who are fighting over the chance to win over a Billion ISKs!
Planetary Interaction (PI) is almost upon us! With the next EVE Online expansion, the industrialist will have a ball with the planets of New Eden. No longer will they simply be decorations for the capsuleers enjoyment. Much work remains to be done until its release, but we got a glimpse of what the Devs are working on - or listening to - these days following the latest Dev Blog by CCP Hammerhead "Livin' on a Prayer".
The fine folks of EVE University were also kind enough to put together the following How To video, based on the current state of PI on CCP's Test server SiSi, as well as a short Guide. Enjoy!
Very few movies had as much impact in nurturing my inner Geek as much as Wargames and TRON. As I explained to a friend earlier today, back in the early 80s I had very friends to share my passion for TRON. Personal computers and the networks that were about to connect them all were not things pre-teens were known to discuss, much less take pride in having an interest in.
Fast forward 30 years, and the situation has flipped completely; a 180 in the perception of Geeks! This coming December, there will be one such Geek enjoying the benefits of this cultural shift!
For unable to view the video due to their geolocation, view it here.
I can barely control my glee!
Last Friday night, I got an early birthday gift, or a late Christmas gift, however you want to see it! The much talented @Rettic, of Rettic's Log: The Chronofile, was kind enough to provide his services to me free of charge as a token of appreciation for all my efforts in promoting and helping foster the right environment for the EVE Blogging Community.
This post's header as you can see was the result, and now sits atop as my blog's main header! If you're curious to see the full image, head over to my Flickr account right here! Beautiful work isn't it!
By profession, Rettic is a Senior Interactive Designer, and I'm sure that if he is as talented for Interactive Design as he is for Graphic Design, then whom ever he works for is one lucky employer!
If you're interested in have some work done by my good friend, then know that his standard fees will run you about 100-200 million ISKs for a logo/banner/forum signature, and that he also offer his services for EON ads, software skinning, etc. Contact him in any case to get a quote from him!
Thanks again sir, for some amazing work!
Not too many movies into the "cool techno geek" group, but Iron Man, and most likely its sequel do. Judging from the following trailer - the 2nd one - Iron Man 2 looks very promising! I for one, look forward to it!
For that matter TRON has that same effect on me! Looking forward to that trailer being released. Which I know should be soon; as in by the end of the week!
Every EVE Online player who became a parent during his capusleer career, knows how difficult it can sometimes be to juggle a professional career, a marriage and children, while giving in to the calling of New Eden. But with time, through sheer effort and good planning, it can be done. I know, I've struggled myself to manage to do all of the above, but I'm still here, playing the game, blogging about it and having a great time doing it, despite the occasional trolls!
How do I do it? Well over time I've come up with a few basic rules that seem to work for me. And so I wanted to share them with you, and see what you yourselves can come up with!
Thou shall put real-life first. Always!
I didn't want to finish the list, not because I ran out of steam or ideas, but simply because I want you to add the last two! Come on!
It's original creation goes back almost 2 years, when I hand picked 18 blogs to represent the best amongst the bloggers within the young and nascent EVE Blogging Community. Over the course of the next two years this same Community would explode in numbers, quality and diversity. Today, with over 500 EVE Bloggers out there, it most likely is the biggest, most organized MMO blogging community!
As a result, the EVE Blog pack had to evolve. And though this evolution got off to a rocky start, in the end I believe that the new Blog Pack, who's members you see listed below, is stronger and more representative of what's out there in the EVE Blogging Community.
The blogs below were chosen for their quality, originality, regularity as well as potential for greatness. Some are well established blogs, some are in character (IC), others not, some try to tell a story, while others try to share advice, knowledge and experience. In the end they are all great blogs, amongst the hundred out there.
When I look at the list below, I see familiar faces, old and new. I see the voices of experience, and the determination of the rookies. For all of these blogs, I am happy to welcome you in the EVE Blog Pack.
Give yourselves a big round of applause!
Know that I deliberately did not link back to the original blogs. Not yet. Not on this post. The official listing of the Blog Pack still resides on that original post of June 2008. And though I'll need a bit of time over the next day or so to update that post with the additional 24 new blogs, as well as update the Google Reader RSS feed and my Blogger widget, I wanted to share the list with you! It will also serve as a permanent mark, to remind us what that listing was on this day.
And moving forward, every time I'll make important changes to the Pack, I'll make such a post to commemorate the blogs that were part of this! It's an EVE Blogging Community History, one I am not willing to forget. One which I want to remember, for past, current as well as future members of the Pack!


As a recent graduate of Memphis College of Art (BFA 2012), Chloe continues to make paintings that have been shown in many galleries. She's already making a name for herself at a young age – one of her solo exhibitions was named one of the Top 10 Visual Art Shows in Memphis for the year 2013.
Chloe says that working at an art college is pretty laid back. The clothes she wears to the office are not unlike what she wears on her days off.
While she's drawn to neutral colors and simple outfits, Chloe loves adding pops of color through her accessories. She's most comfortable wearing knee-length dresses under a cardigan/sweater and with a fun statement necklace. You'll catch her wearing scarves during any season, as well as peasant tops and empire waists.
Chloe mostly wears ballet flats and slip-ons, though she occasionally slips into some closed-toe heels.
Black jeans, black undershirt, a knitted olive green button-up sweater, a green and blue statement necklace from Anthropologie, and black closed-toe heels.
Anthropologie for jewelry and tops. Old Navy for dresses and bottoms. Target for cardigans and sweaters. Urban Outfitters for accessories. Local thrift stores for anything in between.
Even though the workplace style is casual and comfortable, Chloe never wears jeans or flip flops to the office – and leaves her paint splattered garments at her studio.
Thanks for sharing your style, Chloe!

Description: A single-sized(?) bed cover of the 'fence rail' pattern. The top blocks are hand-pieced. The original binding is hand-stitched. Some of the backing is machine-stitched, some (patches) are hand-stitched. The predominant colours of the top are red and white shades. The 'rails' are about 1 cm wide; 12 rails per block. The blocks are about 12 x 12 cm. There are 210 blocks arranged 15 x 14. The fabrics are nearly all heavy weight cotton or wool in solid colours. There a few rails of printed cotton. The binding is in several pieces and a variety of dark fabrics. The top is fastened to the backing at regular intervals, at the corners of each block, with heavy red yarn - one stitch from top through bottom, back to top, knotted and cut; tufted.
History: The Log Cabin pattern is a textile interpretation of the log cabin buildings that were so important to early pioneers. Traditional Log Cabin blocks were usually sewn to a square background cloth and normally start with a small central square, usually red, to represent the fireplace of the home. Around the square are sewn strips of cloth that project into each other. This geometric block allowed for great variation in the patterns. This example is called Fence Rails. Log Cabin Styles were both popular and practical. They could be made from scraps of material, individual blocks were easier to work and they could be used unquilted and unstuffed due to the amount of fabric used.

Hit and Run Driver Crushes TechEase Cars
By Evan Asher June 1st in News
The impact moved the cars over 10'
Saturday May 28th at 3PM a Chevy Suburban lost control in the parking lot at 3433 State Street and careened into 2 parked cars, ramming one car several feet out of the spot into the car next to it. Then the driver fled the scene.
Witnesses called 911 and the vehicle was found later that night abandoned on San Remo. The owner of the vehicle called police later and claimed that he had lent the vehicle to somebody else, who has since disappeared. The cars that were hit were fleet vehicles belonging to TechEase Computer Solutions, a local computer support company.
20' skid marks in the parking lot indicate the driver was completing a U-Turn from one aisle to another, skidded out of control, hopped an island and rammed into the Scion xB parked there, which was then plowed into the vehicle next to it. It is suspected that the driver was intoxicated.
The co-owner of TechEase, Evan Asher, hopes that anybody who might have witnessed the accident and could identify the driver will contact him at (805) 564-3273. "What's infuriating is not the damage to the vehicles; that's what insurance is for. What upsets me is that somebody so reckless, who obviously needs help, is still out there driving around. This is an area busy with pedestrian traffic and somebody could've been seriously hurt or killed. We need to get drivers like that off the roads."

I wish that I was more of a baker. Unfortunately, my baking past is littered with all kinds of baking misfortunes: lumpy cakes, leaden cakes, cracked cakes, dry cakes, lopsided cakes, burned cakes, burned cakes with runny centers, runny cakes with charred tops. The list is unfortunately long!
I think it must be related to the fact that, when it comes to recipes, I am incorrigible: I rarely follow them to the letter. It doesn't help that I am generally inclined to eyeball amounts instead of dirtying up another measuring cup or spoon. This is fine for regular cooking, but kind of disastrous when it comes to baking.
So when I decided to try to come up with my own recipe for a polenta cake with mascarpone that would make use of the first of this season's rhubarb, I was pretty nervous.
Thankfully, it came out beautifully. The cake had a wonderfully moist and tangy crumb that beautifully complemented the rhubarb's tartness. The idea of arranging the fruit (or vegetable? I guess rhubarb actually a vegetable) on the top of the cake batter comes from Nigel Slater's Blueberry-Pear Cake from his Kitchen Diaries.
One more thing: be sure to remove any leaves from your rhubarb stalks before cooking. Only the stems are edible. The leaves contain oxalic acid that can make you pretty sick. It goes without saying to keep your animals away from rhubarb. More for you, I say. What a delicious way to live dangerously!
1. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Butter the sides.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, toss the rhubarb with 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Let the rhubarb sit for about 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°.
4. Sift the dry ingredients (the flour, the corn meal, the salt, the baking powder and the baking soda) together into a large bowl.
5. In another large bowl, cream together the remaining cup of brown sugar and the softened butter. Add the egg, followed by the mascarpone, the lemon zest and the lemon juice. Continue beating the mixture until it is nice and fluffy. Beat in the dry ingredients, a little bit at a time, until they are well-incorporated into the batter.
6. Spread the batter out as evenly as possible onto the bottom of the springform pan. It will be thick. Arrange the rhubarb by pressing each piece into the batter in concentric circles. Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the center has set.
So impressed that this is your own recipe – it looks absolutely wonderful and sounds even better!
Thank you, Frugal! I was so worried that maybe I put too much mascarpone in the cake and it wasn't going to rise at all. Was so happy when it turned out! It did take 30 minutes more than I anticipated, but it was worth the wait.
You are a brave woman. With baking, I am a total nerd—following recipes almost to the letter until I've made them a number of times. I'm just not enough of a scientist to figure out what might work on my own! This cake sounds great, by the way.
Thanks! There was a lot of peering into the oven, thinking that I was going to have to chuck it. Especially after it went past the hour mark!
I'm kind of like you too – sometimes I like to tweak recipes to suit what I have, and what I think I would like even better 🙂 My hubby on the other hand gets nervous when I do that!! 🙂 Yours turns out great and beautiful.
I'm happy with how it turned out too. Sometimes when I tweak, I tweak too far, but if you don't make mistakes, you never learn how to make it better!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for dropping by!
Wow, this looks amazing and so inventive. I'm super impressed.
Aw, thanks! I had a scary moment when I thought there was too much cheese and butter, and not enough flour and eggs to hold it together. Luckily, it worked!
What a gorgeous cake! It looks and sounds delicious. I am not a baker either but I will say that using a scale instead of measuring cups has helped me a lot, and speeded up the process to boot! I highly recommend finding recipes with weight measurements if you don't like to wash dishes (and who does?).
Thanks! I much prefer using a scale too. There was this blurb in Cook's Illustrated about measuring cups. They measured out a cup of flour using different cups and the difference in weight between them was shocking. A cup of flour should weigh 5 ounces, and some cups were 4 ounces and others were more than 6! Mass over volume any day.
Thanks! The cake turned out really well. I agree that baking can be much more punishing than cooking. I think that once you master the science, though, there is a lot of room for improvisation. I don't think it will ever be to the point that I like it though, with a glug of wine in the pan and two glugs for me out of the bottle!
I feel your baking pain – mind you I don't see anything wrong with this one?!
Thanks! I have seen your cakes though. You are a great baker!
Yum – total win! And you use Meyer Lemons, which are my all-time faves. I have a tree groaning with almost ripe ones right now, so I'm going to file this away for a few more weeks. 😀 Hooray!!!
You have a Meyer lemon tree? How incredibly lucky! That sounds like a complete dream! Do you ever squeeze them and freeze the juice when you have too many? I just love Meyer lemons. They are so fragrant and wonderful. One day, I will live somewhere I can grow Meyer lemon trees!
Beautiful job! This cake sounds wonderful! I have a few 'formulas' committed to memory which I tweak as needed when I'm baking, but I find that my mood makes all the difference. If I'm cranky, I rarely bake well. Actually, I think the same rule carries over to cooking….
Thanks! I need to have a few formulas like that. Usually, if I am going to bake something, it usually ends up being a tart. When it comes to cakes, I generally pop in in the oven and then realize that I forgot something important. Once I put something in the oven and realized that instead of 2 cups of flour and 4 eggs, I had mixed together 4 cups of flour and 2 eggs — which explained why it was like mixing concrete!
"I can turn out a layer cake, but I need to use double the amount of frosting to stick the uneven layers together and completely spackle the outside" <–me too!!
This looks gorgeous! I've only had rhubarb once, ever, in a pie baked by someone else's grandma in Minnesota. And it was so good. I don't think it really grows around here, though…. But I might have to keep an eye out for it anyway!
Rhubarb is fantastic! Looks like celery but tastes like tart fruit. If you see some, grab it!


I read recently in an editorial article in the Daily Express an earnest plea for greater economy in the homes of the country and in the expenditure of the people. The wonder to those who are at the front is that there should be even the need for such a plea. They cannot understand why the folk at home will persist in ordering their lives as if no great and devastating war were being waged, in which the rights of nationalities and the very destiny of the race are involved.
I find the feeling among officers and men at the front that the people at home do not yet seem adequately to realise the appalling nature and the tremendous magnitude of this war. Those who come home on leave what do they see ? The attempt, at least, on the part of those who remain behind to live the old life of ease and comfort in the old pleasant way. They grumble if any of their material comforts are curtailed. They set up an angry growl if the service that surrounded them in their homes has to be cut short. The maids are going to the munitions factories , where they have greater freedom and better pay. They have a grievance against the Minister of Munitions.
Be it clearly understood that the men at the front are not a growling or a grumbling lot. I have been associated in the service with Scottish and British regiments, and I have learnt to love and to respect them all. I have the most profound admiration for their pluck, their grit, their loyalty to one another, and, above all, their indomitable cheerfulness in the most trying circumstances and amid the most depressing surroundings. Sacrifice is their daily bread of life. They spend long and weary days and nights in the trenches in conditions that almost defy description. They endure all the multiplied horrors of continuous bombardments and rifle fire. They suffer a ceaseless round of duty and routine. Cold and wet, hardships and perils, danger and disease – the manifold trials of a campaign unparalleled in the history of warfare – all these they bear uncomplainingly and even cheerfully. They are out here to fight and to endure, and they know how to do both.
But there is one grumble I do find universal among them. Every Tommy returning from his leave has his "grouse" over what I may term the spendthrift luxury of the people at home. He finds all the outward and visible signs of affluence doing itself pretty well. There seems no lack of social enjoyment and good living. West Ender and suburbaner alike will persist – so it appears to him – in having the same "good old times" of it. Is it any surprise if he feels – and gives forcible expression to his feelings – that enough is not being done to bring this war to a speedy termination? I have heard them in the trenches discussing the selfishness of those at home. Even if they were obliged to exercise the strictest economy, see how much better off they are than the men in the firing line. They at least have decent roof-trees over their heads, comfortable beds to lie on, warm fire to cheer them, friends to meet, and a thousand and one ways of making life tolerable. What, on the other hand, can the men who are fighting their battles enjoy of comfort and cheeriness, or the things that conduce to content !
Let me give a few illustrations from my own case. I have been for some months in the midst of a severe winter without once sitting to a fire. At another period I have been for sixteen days and nights without once changing my cloths, sleeping – when one could get sleep – on a waterproof sheet spread on the ground with a greatcoat thrown over me. I hope there is no need to elaborate the physical discomforts of such a state, but it is merely campaigning and has to be endured. "Oh," I have heard the people at home say, "but have you not got billets when you are out of the trenches ?" Great heavens, if the only knew ! They probably hear or know about the billets the recruits have at home, where Tommy lives with the family, gets a good bed, and has the freedom of the house.
Out here back billets mean nothing of this kind. They are outhouses, old battered lofts, miserable, wretched, abominable holes, where the wind whistles through unceasingly, and where sometimes the rain comes freely down. An yet your brave and faithful soldier does not grumble. It is all in the day's work, a part of his life. No doubt if better could be got he would have got it, and so he accepts the inevitable, take his five francs or ten when he gets them, drinks his few glasses of mild French beer or coffee and rum, and is content.
Supposing the men are out on a march without greatcoat or macintosh, and it comes on to rain unexpectedly. They may get badly wet. They have only got the one set of uniform – and the warmth of their own bodies is the only fire that dries it. The officers equally share the hardship of this campaign. There are seven of us at one time billeted in a small room over an estaminet, and only two had any beds to sleep in ! The rest made themselves "comfortable" on the floor, and the bedclothes of all alike were a few army blankets, with possibly a greatcoat or British warm thrown on top if the night was exceptionally cold. As for luxuries in or out of the trenches, well, the occasions when company officers at least can enjoy them, as far as my experience goes, are very few and far between.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no sacrifice the troops at the front are not making, and they have some right in the circumstances to criticise the wastefulness and extravagance of the masses of the people, and particularly of the wealthier classes at home.

Jos Van Immerseel - Télécharger et écouter les albums.
Who would have believed Belgian fortepianist and conductor Jos van Immerseel had it in him to turn in an exciting set of Beethoven's symphonies and overtures, especially with a a period instrument chamber orchestra? But these are indeed very exciting recordings. Listen to the hunting horns in the Third's Trio or the charging trumpets in the Seventh's closing Allegro con brio. Listen to Immerseel mold the phrasing in the Second's Larghetto or coda of the Third's Marcia funebre -- it's genuinely thrilling. In these performances, one gets a real sense of the warmth, humor, and compassion that mark the best Beethoven recordings. The recorded sound is immediate and translucent.

New York fundraising event success
A successful event for friends of the Centre was hosted recently at the Yale Club in New York by Daniel and Joanna Rose. Daniel Rose, Chairman of Rose Associates, a New York-based real estate company, is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and his wife, Joanna, who received the Distinguished Friend of Oxford Award in 2012, is a graduate of Oxford University's St Hilda's College.
The guests included Oxford alumni, distinguished business leaders and leading philanthropists who came to learn more about the Centre. Dr David Ariel, the Centre's President, gave a presentation on Oxford's role in preserving the European Jewish legacy, which is carried forward today by the Centre through its support of research and teaching at the University and through its contributions to contemporary Jewish life.


Someone who is highly skilled in seeing data trends, programming mobile apps, and presenting security solutions that prevent breaches will probably feel less than enthusiastic about having to retrieve passwords and fix the printer for most of the day. Yet many companies make help-desk tasks into a general duty that everyone on the IT staff has to tackle. This can be a serious waste of resources. Increase productivity by outsourcing help desk functionality, hiring dedicated help-desk personnel, or at least automating some issues like password fixes.
In many professions, a degree is the main endpoint when it comes to education about a certain field. But in IT, that's just one stop along a lifelong road to knowledge. Technology is constantly changing, and that requires fresh certifications and courses, as well as conference attendance. Don't skimp when it comes to supporting your IT staff's efforts to stay on top of industry trends. That learning can easily turn into new business strategies and improved operations throughout the company.
When you want to know how to get more out of IT staff, just ask. Create a focused, regularly scheduled session — at least quarterly or more often — to find out about what types of projects they've liked working on, whether their teams feel cohesive, and if there are any technologies that could be useful, such as managed services.
Although IT staff members enjoy working with technology, they also want to feel that what they're doing contributes to a company's success. Knowing that they're helping to drive growth can be useful for meeting goals and keeping projects on track.


I was super excited to try this product! First things first I loved the packaging. I thought it was simple and cute which is perfect. And once I opened it I just fell in love with the scent! It definitely has a unique florally scent that I wasn't expecting but it's amazing. It left my skin feeling thoroughly clean and refreshed. I also used it on some of my problem areas on my chest and it really seemed to calm them down. Overall I'm super pleased with this product and can't wait to continue using it! I highly recommend it.
I just received this palette and I love it! This is my first time using this brand and I'm super happy. Application was easy peasy and honestly recommend to anyone looking for a great highlight. The contour is a little too dark for my liking but it still works for me as long as I use it sparingly. The highlight is absolutely gorgeous though! So pigmented and doesn't go on cakey or chalkey. I'm so impressed with this!
This is another one of my favorites! It's a great price which is always a plus and it does wonders on my skin. It's not too heavy but I can feel the difference it makes. I honestly feel like my skin is glowing when I wake up. Another great thing is that this product will last! A little goes a long way which is always so nice. Definitely a product worth giving a try!
I used this product for the first time a few months ago and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. My skin was definitely left moisturized but I felt it was pretty heavy and left my skin looking greasy. I most likely wouldn't purchase this again.
I love how moisturizing this product was! It's a bit on the pricier side but i feel like it's worth it. It's gentle on my sensitive skin and overall was just a great product to use. Left my skin feeling fresh and hydrated without leaving behind any sort of residue.
This is a great lightweight moisturizer! It definitely helped quench my dry skin but didn't feel too heavy. It wasn't too expensive which is amazing finding a product that's a good price and works so well! I just found that I had to use a lot more than other moisturizers to get the hydration that I wanted in my skin. Overall though I do recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive lightweight moisturizer!
I was pleasantly surprised with this moisturizer! It was very gentle yet hydrating and made my skin feel so refreshed. It was a good price (i got it at Marshall's so super cheap) and I thought the packaging was adorable. The only negative I had is that sometimes it'd leave my face feeling a bit sticky until it completely dried which I wasn't used to. Other than that it's a great product.

Since first bursting onto the scene in 2002, Botox has grown from a curiosity into a global phenomenon. Initially difficult and expensive to come by, it is now right there on the doorsteps of hundreds of millions of people, for the lowest prices to date. Those who promote Botox salute its ability to remove wrinkles, while created a plump, youthful overall appearance in no time at all.
But while Botox can be effective in many ways, there isn't a cosmetic procedure in the world that doesn't come without its risks. For many of those who use or have previously used Botox, you'll often find there are certain common things they wished they had known before getting started. There are important rules and guidelines to follow when it comes to Botox injections, in order to ensure the procedure is safe, effective and lives up to your own expectations.
First of all, just because there are thousands of salons and back-street offices across the country where Botox is performed, this doesn't mean they're all of the same caliber. Generally speaking, experts recommend going to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for the injections, in order to ensure the best possible result and minimal discomfort. Check all available listings and ratings before making your final decision.

Newest entrant to fast-growing Asia market seeks to launch route by early next year

Start-up carrier Bamboo Airways intends to launch Vietnam's first direct flights to the US by early next year on a leased Airbus A380, signalling the ambition of the newest entrant to one of Asia's fastest-growing aviation markets.
Trinh Van Quyet, chairman and chief executive of FLC, the Hanoi-based real estate and resorts group that owns the airline, said Bamboo had applied to US aviation authorities for permission to fly to the US and was now pinning down details of the non-stop flight.
"We will start in the first quarter of 2020 if we get permission by the end of this year," Mr Quyet told the Financial Times.
The US Federal Aviation Administration in February opened the door to direct flights, awarding Vietnam a "Category 1" rating confirming the country meets international safety standards. That cleared Vietnamese airlines to fly to the US and code-share with American carriers. However, individual airlines must also secure FAA and Department of Transportation approval to fly to the country.
National carrier Vietnam Airlines is considering launching flights to the US west coast. VietJet Air, its biggest competitor, is believed to be weighing a similar move, but declined to comment on its plans.
The competition to launch Vietnam's first direct US flight comes as passenger numbers soar, driven primarily by rising international tourist arrivals and as more people in one of Asia's fastest-growing economies travel overseas. According to CAPA-Centre for Aviation, Vietnam had roughly 38m international passengers and 16m visitors in 2018, up from 18m passengers and 8m visitors in 2015.
Mr Quyet said Bamboo Airways was considering flying to either Los Angeles or San Francisco, but had yet to decide whether the flight would depart from Hanoi, the capital, or Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest city and business hub.
Bamboo — which only began flying in January — announced its plans for a non-stop flight in a recent document for its shareholders' meeting, but this was the first time its top executive discussed planned destinations and the aircraft it intended to use.
There are no direct flights from Vietnam to the US, which for years deemed the south-east Asian country's aviation safety standards inadequate. Most passengers travel via Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo or another Asian city.
However, analysts expressed scepticism about Bamboo's timetable for launching a direct US flight, and its chances of competing successfully on a route controlled by bigger, longer-established airlines.
"Bamboo is a very new airline, and they don't have much history," said Brendan Sobie, a Singapore-based analyst with CAPA. "So securing approval from the FAA individually as an airline could take a lot of time."
Non-stop long-haul flights are more expensive to operate than flights with a layover because carrying the necessary fuel adds to costs.
Analysts expressed surprise that Bamboo was considering an A380 for the route. Given its weight, the largest commercial airliner in use is rarely flown on ultra long-haul routes of 12 hours or longer.
Mr Quyet said Bamboo's flight to the US would take between 14 and 16 hours depending on the final route chosen.
"What we've seen when airlines launch ultra long-haul flights is that they need premium traffic to make the economics work," said Andrew Lobbenberg, head of European transport equity research at HSBC. "That high-fare, high-yield premium business would be quite hard for a new challenger brand to capture."
Mr Quyet said potential passengers would include "businessmen and people who want to visit their relatives in the US", which has the world's largest Vietnamese diaspora population.
Bamboo launched its services using Airbus A321neo aircraft, and has further orders for Boeing 787 Dreamliners. It has focused on flights to destinations where it has resorts, and on the Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City route, one of the world's busiest, touting itself as a "five-star airline" offering business class on all flights.
FLC's launch of Bamboo Airways is emblematic of a diversification by Vietnam's cash-rich real estate companies, which made their fortunes helped by land deals as state-owned enterprises sold assets.
Vingroup, Vietnam's biggest property group, is pushing into areas including mobile phones, technology and cars.
Mr Quyet told the FT that FLC also plans to move into wind and solar power — areas the government is promoting as Vietnam moves away from a reliance on coal — and is opening a university to train its flight attendants, resort employees and other staff.
FLC's chairman, the son of a policeman, is typical of Vietnam's new generation of entrepreneurs hailing from modest backgrounds. He began in business as a teenager, selling tea, fertiliser and later computers and phones.
When asked if Bamboo might consider a public listing, Mr Quyet said it was possible "in the future, but not yet".
By John Reed & Pham Hai Chung - The Financial Times - June 27, 2019


Singapore's President Tony Tan Keng Yam has dissolved parliament, paving the way for an early general election. The poll date has been set for 11 September, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on 25 August.
"I called this general election to seek your mandate to take Singapore beyond SG50, into its next half century," Lee said in a Facebook post. "You will be deciding who will govern Singapore for the next five years. More than that, you will be choosing the team to work with you for the next 15-20 years, and setting the direction for Singapore for the next 50 years."
The prime minister had until January 2017 to hold an election. Observers say the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) is hoping to cash in on goodwill from the 50th National Day celebrations earlier this month to secure another five-year term. The PAP has won every election in Singapore since the island was granted self-rule by Britain in 1959.
However, the party has seen its popularity decline in recent months on the back of growing immigration, rising living costs and widening income inequality. Singapore's export-reliant economy has also been hit by a slowdown in global demand.
In 2011, the PAP won 81 of the 87 elected seats in parliament while receiving just over 60% of the total votes cast - its worst electoral performance since independence. Eugene Tan, an associate law professor at the Singapore Management University, said September's general election is a "watershed" moment that would indicate whether a healthy two-party system could thrive on the island.
"The last four years has seen the PAP government pulling out all stops to deal with the hot-button issues that featured in the last election. If despite this massive effort, voters seem to be throwing more support to the opposition, then it could suggest voters, as much as they want a strong government, also appreciate the value of a healthy and credible opposition," he told Australian state broadcaster ABC.


You will find the most popular cooking games around right here. Thousands of people have played each and every one one of these games many many times. You can find the time tested tried and true games here that will hit the spot every time.


Given its ethnic diversity, Malaysia is quite a food lover's paradise. It is here that you can find the popular Indian curries, Chinese soups as well as Malay rice-based dish, being served all across restaurants in the country and being savoured with equal delight by locals and visitors. It is then no surprise that Malaysia also has few great options when it comes to budget friendly dining. Its hawker stalls and food centres, in fact, are often preferred over up-class restaurants by budget travellers as well as those who believe that the finest and traditional local flavours are still found at these budget-sensitive places.
Celebrating the Hakka cuisine from South China, the Hakka Restaurant in Malaysia is one of the best places to eat if you are looking forward to trying some bold and unique flavours without burning a hole in your pocket. All dishes served here are cooked with simplicity and highlight the earthy and rustic flavours typical of the Hakka cuisine. Running for over 60 years, the restaurant remains popular for a dish called 'kangkong belacan' which uses morning glory greens and spicy shrimp paste for cooking as well as its slow-cooked herbal chicken. A meal here starts around £2.
Serving people of Malaysia since 1921 when the British still ruled the country, the Coliseum Cafe woos locals and travellers by delivering some of the finest classic dishes in an ambiance that induce nostalgia for an era gone by. The cafe remains dominated by dark wooden swing doors and antique furnishings that retain much of its charm. The time old classics such as French onion soup, chicken chop, tenderloin steak, ox tail, mulligatawny soup as well as Welsh rarebit still remain top sellers here. A meal here starts at £10.
A gem that gets noticed even amidst some of the finest street food stalls in the bustling Chinatown, Restoran Han Kee Bak Kut Teh has been serving delectable food at prices that leave a happy smile on the face of its visitors. Situated in the close proximity of some equally good, though smaller, food stalls from where intoxicating fragrance of freshly cooked dishes reach you; Restoran Han Kee Bak Kut Teh is where you eat with more than one of your senses. While here, you must order herbal broth cooked with pork ribs and intestines, called 'bak kut teh' for which food lovers make special visits to the restaurant.
Run by the daughter of a man whose all 13 children are cooks and restaurant owners and who started this restaurant in 1950s; the expectations are quite high from Soo Kee's Son Restaurant, and unfailingly, the restaurant delivers to its promise of great food. The prawn noodles and the beef noodles draw visitors and locals from different parts of Malaysia to the Imbi Garden Sqaure where the restaurant is located. The Cantonese style fried rice noodles with beef also have many takers who remain enamoured by the smokiness of the meat. But if you to try just two dishes, make sure you order a plate of 'sang har mee', a noodle and prawn combination as well as 'Hokkien black mee', a fat yellow noodle, wok-fried in squid ink with crunch pork crackling, prawns and pork.
Saravanaa Bhavan, located in Bangsar, might look like an odd ball in the arena surrounded by fancy bars, restaurants and clubs; but it nonetheless serves the tastiest and most budget friendly dishes in Malaysia. The restaurant cooks mouth-watering dosas (a pancake of rice stuffed with different kind of fillings) as well as sumptuous combinations of rice and curries, all containing strong flavours that do a little dance in your palette. The restaurant's milky tea called 'the tarik' remains quite popular among visitors for the way it is poured into cups from a great height in an attempt to air it.


We appreciate the important comments made by Dr. Gerges and colleagues and Dr. Naeije in their respective letters regarding our article (1). First, we agree with Dr. Gerges and colleagues that the patient characteristics of our respective cohorts are different: ours were younger, with more diverse heart failure (HF) pathologies and a relatively small percentage (7%) of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Importantly, our results were maintained after excluding patients with human immunodeficiency virus, infiltrative disease, and restrictive cardiomyopathy (60 of 469 [13%]). Another key difference is that the patients in our study had preexisting clinical HF diagnosis. In the study by Gerges et al. (2), patients were categorized with left heart disease based solely on a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) >15 mm Hg. Compared with our cohort, these patients may have been more likely to have pulmonary arterial hypertension or at least significant pulmonary arteriopathy (e.g., mean pulmonary artery pressure of 50 to 60 mm Hg with a PCWP of 16 mm Hg). Despite these diferences, the percentage of patients with pulmonary hypertension and diastolic pulmonary gradient (DPG) ≥7 mm Hg were similar between our 2 studies (62 of 469 [13%] vs. 179 of 1,094 [16%]). Moreover, although statistically significant, the absolute difference in survival curves between the high and low DPG groups in the study by Dr. Gerges and colleagues was small.
The finding of longer RC times (product of resistance and compliance) in HF patients with high DPG actually suggests that pulmonary vascular compliance is higher at a given pulmonary vascular resistance, and therefore, there is less pulsatile (and total) loading of the right ventricle. Although RC time must always be considered in the context of a given resistance, a higher RC time alone would not support the idea of a worse prognosis due to increased load. Finally, the fact that both a very low and high DPG predict prognosis may argue against its prognostic value.
The issue of HF acuity merits consideration and, in particular, the potential effects of heart rate on the DPG. Enson et al. (3) showed that DPG increased with heart rate in a linear fashion, independent of changes in flow (Figure 1). Therefore, the higher heart rates in our study (as well as in another analysis of DPG in acute HF that failed to show prognostic value ) may contribute to some of the elevation reported in DPG. If the prognostic (and diagnostic) value of DPG is affected by acute or advanced HF due to changes in heart rate, this may further limit its utility.
Relationship between pulmonary artery diastolic pressure gradient and heart rate.
Reprinted with permission from Enson et al. (3).
As Dr. Naeije comments, a limited prognostic value of DPG does not necessarily preclude diagnostic value. However, the issues raised about measurement precision must be carefully considered. Although those patients with a markedly elevated DPG (15 to 20 mm Hg) may have clear pulmonary vasculature disease, these patients are rare in HF. For a DPG of 4 to 12 mm Hg (a range into which many with a precapillary component will fall), the lack of precise measures with fluid-filled catheters could result in significant misclassification. This imprecision, coupled with the heart rate dependence of DPG, may limit its diagnostic value. We agree with Dr. Naeije that if DPG is used, it must be considered in the context of pulmonary vascular resistance and transpulmonary gradient. Exactly how it should be used requires further study.
