Q: Relative layout isn't working on Android Studio Basically, I'm learning Android development and am having trouble with adding a relative layout to my code. Inside the main linear layout, it simply won't work and I don't know how to add another outside (is that possible?). I don't know how to fix this and I would just like to know what I need to write in order to get a relative layout with some text in the top right corner, as I can't do this efficiently with a linear layout. Please help. The text I want in the top right corner is "Open from 8 AM to 6 PM on Mondays to Fridays \n \n Open from 9 PM to 5 PM on Saturdays and Sundays".
Here is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I can send my Java code too if that is helpful.
Here is how the code looks on android studio:

A: I am not entirely sure of what your requirement is but I think it should be something like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        android:text="Open from 8AM to 6PM on Mondays to Fridays \n \n Open from 9PM to 5PM on Saturdays and Sundays"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>

Copy this and have a try at it.

A: I still don't understand why you need RelativeLayout. If you want to align the text to the top-right corner, you can do in your existing layout. Just add TextView with width=match_parent and gravity=end

The resignation of Van Jones: A casualty of the Saturn/Uranus opposition
With Saturn and Uranus preparing to oppose each other exactly next week, the middle of the night resignation of Van Jones as the "Green Jobs Czar" in the Obama administration may be a hint as to which of the planets is winning. Saturn represents society and structure, and Uranus is rebellion and new ideas. When the conservative media discovered that Van Jones had signed a petition asking then Attorney General Eliot Spitzer to investigate possible government complicity in the September 11 tragedy, the resulting firestorm among conservative pundits exacerbated the already heated debate over the policies of the Obama administration.
President Obama was elected on November 4, the exact day of the first phase of the opposition from Saturn to Uranus. He was elected because the majority of the people in the United States wanted change. He ran on a platform of affordable health care, bringing jobs to Americans, withdrawing troops from Iraq, and changing the partisan ways of Washington.
Every attempt that he has made to fulfill these promises has been met with fierce opposition; not because of bad policy, but because conservatives want him to fail. The downfall of Van Jones was orchestrated not by a debate over his usefulness, but because Glenn Beck the ignorant clown on Fox News who is even more absurd than Rush Limbaugh, began to ratchet up the pressure after a group that Jones was formerly involved with urged a boycott of Beck's show.
Many of the left are upset with Obama for continuing to try to build alliances with conservatives in order to accomplish his agenda, but they are missing the point. In a Saturn/Uranus time such as this, any big change cannot occur without support from both sides and that requires a putting aside of one's need to be right. Obama, with his Aquarius ascendant, understands this. Unfortunately, it is the inability of the Democrats to rally behind him that could prove to unravel his presidency, not his inability to stand up to the Right.

This was a bit of a let see what I could come up with sort of dinner so the measurements are a little rough so do play around with the amounts based on how many hungry mouths you have to feed!
It served the boys and I for dinner so for a family would need to be at least doubled.
1 cup (or more) of Tri coloured Quinoa (uncooked).
To cook in the Thermomix either soak in filtered water for 1 hour or rinse and rub very well and place 900g of water in the Thermomix bowl and put the Quinoa in the basket and cook for 20 mins (check to make sure it's translucent) Varoma speed 2 – 3. Set aside in Thermoserver to keep warm.
If you don't have a Thermomix you can still cook your quinoa on the stove top in a pot (roughly the same time frame).
2 medium sweet potatoes – cut up into diced pieces and oven roasted in EVO or coconut oil sprinkled with dried oregano, 200 deg fan forced oven for about 15 – 20 mins. You could use pumpkin if you prefer.
Handful of green beans (top/tailed) – you can steam these in the Varoma whilst doing the quinoa or quickly on the stove top in a steamer pot/pan for literally a few mins you still want them crunchy. Cut up into smaller pieces and set aside in thermoserver.
1 large double chicken breast (if feeding a few people, I only used a small piece that I had).
Now you can marinade the chicken (or pork or salmon if you wish to use) in the below mixture in the fridge for awhile (will give the dish loads more flavour or you can baste the chicken as you pan fry it) or you could even try steaming it marinated in the Varoma.
Mix together and baste on chicken or marinade chicken for at least an hour or two if time permits.
Pan fry chicken in a little EVO and slice up and put in Thermoserver and mix with all the other ingredients for a quick and easy light dinner, lunch or side salad!
The most versatile bolognaise sauce ever!

THE consequences of a knitting accident while at school continue to haunt a young Rockhampton man who has been left blind in one eye.
Although the accident happened 13 years ago, the 21-year-old has only recently faced the limitations this has placed on his employment opportunities.
Earlier this month, the man lodged a claim against the State of Queensland in the Supreme Court of Rockhampton for almost $2 million.
During a class activity at the Moura State School in 2001, the man accidentally stabbed himself in the right eye with a metal knitting needle.
He was in Year 3 at the time.
The court document states he had difficulty with the activity and sought repeated assistance from the teacher and from his classmate.
As a result of the accident, he suffered shock as well as the permanent loss of sight in that eye.
According to the claim, this has not only impaired his academic performances, but also his ability to undertake certain types of work since leaving school in 2010.
This includes working as an apprentice and taking on a job in the mining industry.
These are both activities that he may have likely pursued had he not been injured by the incident while at school.
The man claims his injury and his consequent medical costs and economic loss were caused by the negligence of the school.
He said the school had failed to take measures to ensure his safety.
He is suing the State of Queensland for the sum of $1,879,934.
Both parties were unable to issue any comment on the matter.

Rutledge Appointed to Bipartisan School Quality Workgroup
LANSING – State Representative David Rutledge (Ypsilanti) today announced his appointment to the bipartisan, bicameral Workgroup on School Quality that was established by the charter expansion legislation recently enacted. Rutledge is one of two Democratic legislators on the eight-member panel.
"I had some major concerns about the charter expansion bill that came before the House this fall," Rutledge said. "I am thankful for the opportunity to be part of a larger solution to our state's public education system; it's my hope that this workgroup will move Michigan toward a more equal playing field for both charters and our community-governed schools."
The new Workgroup on School Quality was required by Public Act 277 of 2011, which Governor Snyder signed into law earlier this week. The workgroup must make recommendations to the Senate and House education committees on "measures to be taken to improve educational quality in all public schools for all pupils." Members were appointed by the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader.
Rep. Rutledge proposed a number of amendments to the legislation (Senate Bill 618) when it came before the House Education Committee, and on the House floor. Among his amendments were changes that would have prohibited for-profit companies from running charter schools using public dollars, and limiting charters from opening in high-performing districts. Rutledge voted against SB 618.
"When Speaker Bolger asked me to consider serving on the workgroup, I was eager to accept," Rutledge said. "There is nothing more vital to Michigan's long-term success than public education, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to protect our state's precious school system."
Other appointees to the workgroup are: Representatives Bill Rogers (R-Brighton), Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake), and Ken Yonker (R-Caledonia), and Senators Bruce Caswell (R-Hillsdale), Patrick Colbeck (R-Canton), Hoon-Yung Hopgood (D-Taylor), and Phil Pavlov (R-St. Clair), who will serve as chair. The workgroup will convene in Jan., and must report its recommendations by March 30, 2012.

This is a just-for-fun redesign for the Johnson City, Tennessee Blue Plum Festival, which celebrates the revitalization of the downtown area in this historic Tennessee city. I have been to Johnson City a few times and its charm is apparent and infectious. The festival includes Southern food and music, especially blue grass and jazz. I wanted my take on the event to feel lively and youthful, celebrate the spirit of Tennessee and the start of summer. The illustrations were created with pen and ink, and then brought into Photoshop. Also shown here is a poster and typographic entrance ticket.

Flight vehicle aerodynamics
Technical service highlights
For all aerospace vehicles, performance gains can be realized with superior management of the flow around and through the vehicle. NRC provides clients with the aerodynamic data they need to support improvements in product design — be it lift, stability and control, safety, performance, drag, loads, aeroacoustics, store release, or icing. Our experts and facilities are focused on delivering results to support your products.
Our clients include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the Canadian Forces and its allies, and aviation regulatory authorities.
Within specialized test facilities, our team can simulate a wide range of flow conditions for clients' fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, defence systems and aviation sub-systems such as de-icing.
Measurement, validation and understanding of aerodynamic data
Our team of experts has decades of experience in delivering cost-effective campaigns to acquire the right data and to interpret what it means to your world. We generate results from our in-demand facilities, including six wind tunnels and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) capabilities.
Aeroacoustic testing
We characterise flow-induced noise in our customized facilities and can work with your team to reduce noise intensity to help you comply with evermore-stringent regulatory requirements for minimizing noise pollution.
High Reynolds number capability
We assess high-lift and cruise performance in our pressurized trisonic 1.5 m wind tunnel. These precision tests can support your decisions for aircraft design, control-surface effectiveness assessments, and aircraft performance assessments.
High-altitude icing testing
Experiments in our Altitude Icing Wind Tunnel predict how electric and novel de-icing systems will behave in flight, at altitudes of up to 9 km (30,000 feet). Ice accretes differently at high altitude than it does at low altitudes, and we are working with industry and research leaders to unravel the physics and scaling behind these phenomena so that we can better contribute to your development programs.
Investigating ice accretion
We investigate the accretion of ice on critical aircraft surfaces and instrumentation, assess the effectiveness of different anti-icing fluids, and simulate and study ice-crystal conditions. Our large-scale propulsion icing wind tunnel lets you study the accretion of ice on full-scale inlets and large-scale aerodynamic surfaces.
Using our patented morphogenetic ice-accretion code, we can predict ice accretion on just about any shape in any flow with ice-cloud characteristics. Our predictions work for glaze and rime ice, and even generate the characteristic "lobster tail" pattern.
Non-intrusive flow diagnostics
Using optical measurements we can perform non-intrusive flow diagnostics to quantify the details of the flow over an aircraft wing, tail or any other surface. We use other techniques to assess the deformation of a model under aerodynamic load in the wind tunnel. Clients use these techniques to validate CFD, to better quantify loads and to locate unanticipated and unwanted flow separations.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) helps us simulate flow around products for clients. These cost-effective simulations can provide preliminary data before we move products or models into low- or high-speed wind tunnels. We have access to a range of commercial and in-house codes which we can apply to your design challenge. Recent successes include accurate flow-prediction capabilities at low Reynolds number for micro air vehicles.
Access to test facilities
Our six wind tunnels provide clients with varied options for assessing and de-risking prototype designs before moving on to full-scale tests, commercial development or in-flight tests. Additionally, our Design and Fabrication Services team develops prototypes and uniquely tailored models and auxiliary systems to support test programs in our wind tunnels.
For example, to de-risk flight tests for the Royal Canadian Air Force, NRC designed, built and commissioned a unique, sub-scale experimental rig to assess the impact of ship airwakes on pilot workload. We executed tests for a range of wind speeds, wind angles and ship geometries to provide flight envelope estimates for helicopters to launch and recover safely from Royal Canadian Navy ships. Our tests provide pilots with advance information before they undertake flight tests for a new helicopter-ship combination. That translates into less risk, and less time spent at sea, which means additional cost reductions.
In addition to offering these technical services, our aerodynamics team actively contributes to broader NRC initiatives and collaborative projects involving national and international partners, including the following initiatives:
Aeronautical Product Development and Certification Program
Defence technologies and sustainment
Our top-notch experts are recognized worldwide for their icing and aerodynamics capabilities, and for managing high-quality, cost-effective facilities for the aviation industry.
When you undertake aerodynamic investigations with us, we provide high-quality, repeatable data to better inform your decision-making as you move through product design and development stages.
Through varied aerodynamic tests, we can identify ways to help you:
improve fuel efficiency
enhance stability and control
reduce noise
minimize drag
heighten performance
de-risk product design and development
anticipate, in a safe environment, how flow will affect products in real-world situations
Many clients rely on our quality data to support their certification by transportation authorities to meet environmental or safety requirements.
We operate one of the world's largest, commercially available, aerodynamic test facilities. In that 9 m wind tunnel, we perform cost-effective, confidential, full-scale tests for industry and government.
When considering military requirements, our 1.5 m trisonic wind tunnel presents a rare combination of speeds and pressures for its size. While many competing facilities stop at Mach 1.6, our facility covers low subsonic to supersonic speeds, from Mach 0.1 to 4.25, and at pressures up to 10 atmospheres. This highly configurable facility offers significant advantages to NRC's regular clients — the Canadian Forces and our allies.
As one of only a few facilities globally that permits high-altitude tests of up to 9 km, NRC's Altitude research wind tunnel is essential for manufacturers and aircraft operators with new, electronic de-icing systems.
Apart from testing de-icing systems, pilots worldwide rely on us to establish the data that Transport Canada and the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) use to determine safe de-icing holdover times. These holdover times factor in temperature, precipitation type and precipitation rate.
You can count on NRC to keep on top of upcoming changes in certification requirements. We also anticipate and meet new industry needs by continuing to develop novel techniques and modifying our systems. NRC's ambient icing and high-altitude icing capabilities, and our turbulence generator (large-scale flow treatment system in the 9 m wind tunnel) are examples of the ways we customize and upgrade our offerings for clients.
We also provide technical services for non-aeronautical applications such as for the aerodynamics of bluff bodies.
In addition to supporting our internal needs, NRC offers Design and Fabrication Services to industry clients requiring prototypes and models.
Beyond our aerodynamicists, technicians, electrical, mechanical engineers and other professionals in our Aerodynamics facilities, when you turn to NRC you also gain access to our skilled pilots who operate customized aircraft for in-flight tests.
Contact us to discuss how NRC can help fulfill your research and technology needs through our fee-for-service testing, consulting, collaborative research agreements and licensing arrangements.

Q: Delete one slide from a Google Presentation using API based off of date Is it even possible to have a slide presentation delete a slide base off of a date. For example have the slide expire after a certain date. The purpose is for digital signage. I was just hoping to write a script that deleted a slide.
Please let me know if my question is not clear.
first post #not a programmer...yet

A: I think you want to do a cron. Cron is time-based job scheduler, to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals.
One sample would be using a time-driven trigger to run a function (delete slide).
The code snippet that I used would be in Apps Script to run using a time driven trigger and code to delete a page in a slide.
function checkslide(){

  var origin = Slides.Presentations.get(originSlideID).slides;

  Logger.log(origin[1])
  var slide  = SlidesApp.openById(targetSlideID).getSlides();

  //remove all slide other than first page
  slide.splice(targetSlideID - 1, 1);
  for (var i in slide) {
    slide[i].remove();
  }

  //remove a specify depending on condition where j is the slide to be removed

  for (i = 0; i < slide.length; i++) {
    if(i == j){
      slide[i].remove();
    }

  }

}

Q: Proving an inequality involving logarithms in two dimensions I'm trying to show that the following inequality holds for $x, y \geq 0$,
$x\log(1 + \frac{y}{x}) + y \log(1 + \frac{x}{y}) \geq \frac{4\log(2) x y}{x + y}$.
Now, for exponentials the following is known to be true:
$\exp(\frac{xy}{x + y}) < (1 + \frac{x}{y})^y$ for $x, y > 0$,
which gives (applying logarithms and adding twice)
$x\log(1 + \frac{y}{x}) + y \log(1 + \frac{x}{y}) > \frac{2 x y}{x + y}$.
However, this doesn't give a tight enough inequality since $4\log(2) > 2$. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Dividing the both sides of
$$x\log\left(1+\frac yx\right)+y\log\left(1+\frac xy\right)\ge \frac{4\log(2)xy}{x+y}$$
by $x\gt 0$ and setting $t=\frac yx$ give
$$\log (1+t)+t\log\left(1+\frac 1t\right)\ge \frac{4\log(2)}{\frac 1t+1}$$
Multiplying the both sides by $\frac 1t+1\gt 0$ gives
$$\left(\frac 1t+1\right)\log(1+t)+(1+t)\log\left(1+\frac 1t\right)\ge 4\log (2)$$
Let $f(t)$ be the LHS.
We want to prove that $f(t)\ge 4\log(2)$ for $t\gt 0$.
Now,
$$f'(t)=\log\left(\frac 1t+1\right)-\frac{\log(1+t)}{t^2},\quad f''(t)=\frac{2\log(t+1)-t}{t^3}$$
Let $g(t)=2\log(t+1)-t$.
Then,
$$g'(t)=\frac{2}{t+1}-1=\frac{1-t}{t+1}$$
So, $g(t)$ is increasing for $0\lt t\lt 1$ and is decreasing for $t\gt 1$ with $\lim_{t\to 0^+}g(t)=0$ and $\lim_{t\to\infty}g(t)=-\infty$.
Letting $t=\alpha\gt 1$ be the only real solution of $g(t)=0$, we have that $f'(t)$ is increasing for $0\lt t\lt\alpha$ and is decreasing for $t\gt\alpha$.
Since
$$\lim_{t\to 0^+}f'(t)=-\infty,\quad \lim_{t\to\infty}f'(t)=0,\quad f'(1)=0$$
we see that $f(t)$ is decreasing for $0\lt t\lt 1$ and is increasing for $t\gt 1$.
Thus, we have that
$$f(t)\ge f(1)=4\log(2)$$

More Than You'll Ever Need to Know About the 23rd Senatorial District's Convention This Saturday
Robert Wilonsky
| Politics |
Robert Wilonsky | March 27, 2008 | 1:46pm
You know who we feel for right now? Gary Fitzsimmons, who's got a long Saturday ahead of him. Like, marathon long.
There are 178 precincts in the 23rd Senatorial District -- including Sandra Crenshaw's, No. 3549. But as it turns out, despite Crenshaw's claims in the item below, only one person has challenged the results of her precinct caucus, despite the March madness that ensued on the night of the Texas Democratic primary. And that challenge comes from a Hillary Clinton supporter, who alleges there are no minutes from the precinct caucus and wants to disallow delegates from the precinct from being seated. But the challenge -- which was sent in yesterday, the final day challenges were allowed -- doesn't provide evidence to substantiate the claim.
Which means, according Dallas County District Clerk Gary Fitzsimmons, who is also serving as chairman of the 23rd Senatorial District's credentials committee, it may not be a valid challenge after all. Which means that come Saturday's senatorial district convention at the Ellis Davis Field House, from which six delegates will be chosen for the Democratic National Convention in August, Precinct 3549 will likely seat delegates after all. It just may take "a while," Fitzsimmons says, sounding like someone really looking forward to Saturday morning.
Much more -- so, so much more -- after the jump.
As it turns out, several of the 23rd's precincts' results are being challenged -- how many Fitzsimmons can't say just yet, as he's still going through the paperwork following last night's deadline. But here's how all the challenges will be handled.
On Saturday morning, the credentials committee will meet to discuss and vote on the challenges. If they're considered valid protests -- meaning, there's evidence to prove wrongdoing or mishandling of the results from the March 4 precinct conventions -- then no delegates from that precinct will be seated at the senatorial district convention. But if they're just complaints without further corroboration, they'll be disallowed.
Which begins an entirely new process. (And please note: We're dealing solely with the 23rd Senatorial District here.)
Because, see, when someone shows from a problematic precinct that's been flagged for whatever reason -- among those reasons, they sent too many delegates or insufficient information was provided by the precinct convention -- they'll be sent across the street to D.A. Hulcy Middle School. There, they will go through a verification process, "where we'll go to the database to see if we can find any permutation of their name," Fitzsimmons says. If and when the credentials committee determines that the individual is eligible to be seated, they'll be sent back to wait at the field house to get their credentials.
"And, at some point," Fitzsimmons says, "the committee will ask the people from Precinct 3549, or some other problematic precinct, to caucus and determine who the delegates are." Which sounds very much like do-over. In fact, Fitzsimmons says, "That's exactly what the state party calls it in the advisory we received."
Fact is, Fitzsimmons says, he was actually able to "go through [Crenshaw's] sign-in sheets and reconstruct distribution of Clinton and Obama delegates," which means 3549 isn't quite the mess folks were led to believe. "It's a simple procedure," Fitzsimmons says. But he says 3549 will have to get in line -- "because it's not the only with some questions."
He also wants to correct something Bill Howell said below, where the temporary chair of the 23rd Senatorial District told Unfair Park that Crenshaw's precinct didn't elect delegates.
"There was an election of delegates," Fitzsimmons says. "I've had a number of calls from delegates from the precinct who said there was an election to determine delegates and alternates. People have contacted me from the precinct and said they did, so I am inclined to honor it."
Incidentally, the 23rd's Senatorial District convention should be especially interesting, because one of the first items of business on Saturday morning will be the election of a permanent district chairman -- and State Sen. Royce West, who represents that district and has endorsed Obama, has indicated he'd like the job, which Fitzsimmons expects him to get "by acclamation." --Robert Wilonsky

Palin at CPAC: "Mr. President, you lie!"
Sarah Palin's speech was all Washington-bashing and crowd-pleasing one-liners
By Jillian Rayfield
March 16, 2013 8:47PM (UTC)
In her big CPAC speech on Saturday, Sarah Palin threw out her usual snappy one-liners (like giving Margaret Thatcher an "Amen Sistah!") and crowd-pleasing gags (like when she pulled out a giant cup of soda and took a dig at Michael Bloomberg: "Bloomberg's not around, my Big Gulp's safe.").
On gun control, Palin was of course against it, arguing that saying that "that chunk of metal did the crime, is like saying that fork made me fat." She added: "Background checks: A dandy idea Mr. President, should have started with yours!"
"We don't have leadership coming out of Washington, we have reality television," she continued, saying that "they're being too scripted, too calculated. They're talking about rebuilding the party, how about rebuilding the middle class?"
"We're not here to re-brand a party, we're here to rebuild a country," Palin added.
On Obama, Palin said: "Barack Obama promised the most transparent administration ever: Barack Obama, you lie!" And no Palin speech these days is complete without a teleprompter joke: "Mr. President: We admit it. You won. Accept it. Now step away from the teleprompter and do your job."
She wrapped up the speech with: "If we the people have one message to send to Washington, it's this: Get over yourself."

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, which means it's absolutely essential to making the right first impression. One of the easiest ways to transform your smile is with teeth whitening.
The procedure is pretty straightforward. First, you'll come in for a quick exam to make sure you don't have any leaking fillings or cavities that could be an issue. If everything is fine, we'll take an impression in order to create a pair of custom trays that will fit snugly over your teeth. We'll also provide you with a powerful teeth bleaching gel to use in your trays for a period of time each day, generally for a minimum of 20 minutes. You continue that procedure until you achieve the level of whiteness you desire.
The trays hold the bleaching agent on your teeth, which contains peroxide. As the peroxide sinks deeply into your teeth, it oxidizes the stains out. The longer you use the bleaching gel, the whiter your teeth will become. While the old stains will be permanently removed, you can develop new stains. You can maintain your brilliant smile with good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups every couple of years.
Maybe you have tried over-the-counter teeth whitening products and were disappointed. You might be skeptical to try teeth whitening again. There is a reason many of those products are ineffective.
For instance, while whitening toothpaste may work to remove surface stains, they are not on your teeth long enough for any significant whitening to take place. The whitening agent needs to sink deep into the tooth to lift out stains. Bleaching actually takes place from the inside out. There are some over-the-counter products that do stay on your teeth, however, the level of bleaching agent they are allowed to contain is significantly less than what you'd get at a dentist's office. It will work, but you may have to purchase many kits, depending on the amount of whitening needed, and use the product significantly longer.
If you'd like to know if you're a candidate for teeth whitening, you can either call our office to set an appointment, or you can click here to request an appointment online.


How Will Customer Experience Management Keep Up with Channel Independence?
The new proactive customer experience management (CXM) of the future and how you can prepare for it now.
Meet the 2018 consumer. She owns both a smart refrigerator and storage system, which can prepare a weekly purchase list. The retailer where she shops has an inventory system that syncs with and aggregates such purchase lists, and kicks in an automatic replenishment process to be sure low or sold-out stock is available when she and others arrive at the store. Advanced analytics create and push a list of suggested items along with coupons.
Once in the store, an optimized visual route on her smart phone helps her to pick up the items on her list. She can purchase items through a "floating cash register," an intelligent billing system that converts every aisle into a smart cash register.
This, in short, is the next generation of CXM for which enterprises need to prepare -- an experience that cohesively integrates consumers, retailers and their suppliers.
Enterprises today are struggling to keep up with the various ways consumers are accessing their products and services, through both physical and digital channels. Often, CXM, remains siloed within the organization, usually in marketing and customer service. And, it is often still reactive -- dealing with problems presented to them instead of identifying progressive, comprehensive and meaningful strategies that create a positive experience.
By 2018, however, the next generation CXM will be proactive and engage the entire organization. It will strive to understand what customers are thinking, and provide a consistent brand experience in all available channels. In fact, CXM in the future is all about "channel independence." Customers will be able to use the channel of their choice to interact with the brand and enjoy a richness of experience.
CXM adoption has been ad hoc and siloed, usually on a single channel focusing on product-based interactions and transactions with customers. Only recently has it evolved to incorporate multiple channels and mature from being merely transactional to being more informative and interactive. But it's still lacking. Many organizations have not yet truly transformed their customer experience.
The next generation CXM will put customers first to drive customer satisfaction and loyalty. It will engage them proactively before the product or service is purchased, and long afterward, to understand what they are thinking and create market-relevant products and services. This will be done through a highly matured, closed-loop system that provides engagement, management, enablement, and measurement of the delivered CX.
We see four trends that global enterprises are grappling with and how digital advances will affect the next generation of CXM.
The first is engaging the customer proactively. Enterprises want to move closer to the customer with interactions that occur before the product or service is consumed. Future CXM will make that engagement event-driven and pull from every aspect of the organization, including those not traditionally directly linked to customer care.
The second trend is context-aware customer interactions using geo-location intelligence built into devices to provide customer value. How could this evolve in the future? Instead of an enterprise partnering with a specific app or adopting a specific solution, future CXM solutions could call for a more sustained interaction with context-aware solutions within every customer interaction.
The third trend is immersive interactions, in which users gain more control over how content is delivered, whether through touch, gesture, 3D visualization, voice-enabled biometric, or something not yet invented. In the next five years we expect immersive interactions to be incorporated in home entertainment devices like smart TV and gaming, in-vehicle devices, and increasingly smart mobile devices—all of which are always connected and creating a challenging "Internet of things".
Finally, there is the multi-channel of the future. Today, even as new channels have emerged or even replaced traditional points of sale, customer interactions still remain siloed. By 2018, multi-channel for enterprises will transition to an omni-channel experience, meaning that customers can browse through product information on any medium while conversing with friends on social media, and then order the product through any device.
By the next five years, we envision a repeatable CXM maturity model that implies that an enterprise has completely synchronized CXM and IT strategies with an integrated, institutionalized roadmap -- all supported by a fully integrated training and communication plan.
Essentially this approach creates a customer-centric organization that facilitates the ability to repeat and institutionalize CXM success.
Are we losing business to competitors because they deliver a better customer experience?
Are we listening to our customers enough? Are our CMO and CIO synergized to work together to deliver a better customer experience?
Are we able to engage customers in their "channels of choice" and deliver omni-channel experience?
Do we have the right data, technology, tools, and vendors to get the actionable insights on our customers?
Are we leveraging digital media effectively? How are they integrated into the rest of the enterprise?
Today's customers are digitally savvy and have greater expectations for what technology can provide when it comes to interacting with companies. Companies already are recognizing that digitally savvy customers have the potential to become influencers in their own social media circles, impacting brand perceptions.
There has never been a time when there has been more pressure on enterprises to create a consistently positive and cohesive customer experience. A progressive, integrated CXM strategy alone will provide enterprises with the ability to create a repeatable customer experience that can be adapted to inevitable digital evolutions in the future.

Unforgettable Lessons Learned from Wage & Hour Lawsuits Part II
In today's business climate, risk management is more important than ever, as litigation experts forecast that employers will continue to face stark wage and hour compliance risks. In this article (Part II in our series of lessons learned from landmark lawsuits), we're recapping some serious wage and hour violations of times past in order to illustrate the dangers of non-compliance:
Substituting comp time for overtime
Back in 2009, three Bank of America bank tellers came forward with allegations that the bank's company-wide policies resulted in serious FLSA violations committed not only against them but 185,000 employees. According to the plaintiffs, the bank required employees to work before and after shifts without pay, understaffed their call centers, enforced poor scheduling policies, and compensating employees with compensatory time (comp time) instead of overtime.
Comp time is the allowance of employees to take additional time off after working extra hours; it is an illegal practice (in most cases) and has no bearing on overtime pay. Comp time cannot legally be substituted for overtime. The FLSA clearly states that non-exempt employees are to be paid time-and-a-half wages for all hours worked over 40 in a week. Eventually, in 2013, BoA agreed to settle to the tune of $73 million, denying all allegations but settling to avoid the bad publicity of a drawn-out court spectacle.
Classifying workers as exempt for overtime
Improperly classifying employees is a costly mistake that employers commit time and time again (intentionally or not). Unfortunately, the consequences can be dire, as was the case with Ecolab Inc., which paid a whopping $29 million class action settlement in April of 2013 to resolve claims that it improperly classified hundreds of contracted exterminators, denying them overtime.
A motion was filed in California federal court by Exterminator Doug Ladore, who alleged that the company forced himself and others to work 12-hour days without keeping track of overtime hours. In response to the claim, Ecolab cited the overtime exemption established in the FLSA pertaining to hazmat workers, an exemption that applies to occupational workers who carry harmful chemicals, like truck drivers. The exemption was designed to discourage hazmat workers from working extra-long and potentially dangerous shifts.
The judge overseeing the case ruled that the exemption didn't apply to workers who incidentally carry small quantities of chemicals as part of their jobs. Not only did the company have to pay, but they also had to re-classify its pest elimination service specialists and select segment specialists as non-exempt.
Enforcing questionable practices
In March of this year, a former server at the famous Serendipity 3 restaurant, Irwing Velandia, filed a wage and hour class-action lawsuit, alleging that restaurant owner Steve Bruce failed to pay proper wages and required employees to work off the clock. The plaintiff claims that:
Employees who earned tips were forced to work off-the-clock before and after shifts and were required to perform paperwork at an unpaid rate at the end of each shift
Tipped employees were required to spend more than 20 percent of their shift performing non-tipped tasks like preparing tables and restocking condiments, activities that took them away from activities that could have earned them tips
The restaurant refused to pay time-and-a-half wages to employees who worked overtime clocking more than 40 hours a week
Employers were required to pay for the cleaning of their mandatory uniforms, and docked wages for tipped employees in the event of customers walking out or the cash register being short
These allegations certainly qualify as serious violations of several guidelines outlined in the FLSA. Angela Reddock-Wright, an employment law attorney and mediator with the Reddock Law Group in Los Angeles, discusses the potential consequences for an employer who fails to follow wage laws.
Potential consequences
"Although tempting, the consequences for an employer who fails to follow the wage laws can be far greater than compliance with the laws. This could include penalties up to three times the original amount due to an employee, and up to three years back pay for any employee impacted by the employer's failure to pay or classify properly. Additionally, the employer could be subject to audits and additional penalties by the IRS, the state franchise tax board and unemployment agency, and the state wage and hour board, coupled with a possible civil lawsuit by the employee. In Los Angeles, the laws allow for criminal charges against an employer for wage theft."
In summation, says Wright, not complying with the wage and hour laws simply is not worth it. What do you think of the cases we've recapped here? Let us know your opinion in the comments or any of our social media pages.

Xcel sets sights on hitting wind energy milestone
In four years, it could have enough wind energy to power every home in Minnesota.
Adam Uren
Xcel Energy has revealed plans to solidify its position as the biggest wind power company in the country.
It announced on Wednesday it will build a new 300-megawatt wind farm in South Dakota, which would put it on pace to generate more than 10,000 megawatts of wind energy in its system by 2021.
If it becomes the first utility in the U.S. to reach this milestone, Xcel would be able to generate enough energy from wind alone to power every home in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The Dakota Range I and II project is being developed by Apex Clean Energy and will be built north of Watertown, just west of the Minnesota border.
The project will on its own generate enough energy to power 157,000 homes, adding to Xcel's growing suite of renewable energy sources.
The utility is already the nation's biggest wind provider and has been for more than a decade. The Dakota project is one of 13 wind farm projects it's proposing in seven states, which between them would add 3,680 megawatts to its system.
Three of these, the Blazing State I and II and the Lake Benton wind project, are planned for Minnesota.
Tom Kiernan, CEO of the American Wind Energy Association, said: "The Dakota Range project is important because it shows us that the American wind industry continues to deliver clean, reliable, cost-competitive energy even as the value of the production tax credit is reduced."
Xcel Energy customers in Minnesota can request to receive their energy solely from wind power already, through the company's Windsource program.

The Minneapolis-based utility says its wind energy plans are stalled with a tax credit set to expire. Xcel Energy is an industry leader in wind power, but officials say additional projects wouldn't be cost effective without tax subsidies. A national energy association predicts without the credit nearly 40 thousand jobs will be lost.

So Batman vs Superman did... erm... well? at the Razzie awards scooping 4 of the 8 awards it was nominated for, including Worst Picture. It should count itself lucky that it was in some of the same categories as Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party though, which also took 4 awards. Since there are only 9 nominated awards altogether, this is pretty good going - Zoolander 2 got the other one, with Kirsten Wiig being voted Worst Supporting Actress.
And the properly coveted award of the night, the Razzie Redeemer, which is given to a previous Razzie nominee who actually managed to do something really good for a change, went to the superb Mel Gibson for his Direction of Hacksaw Ridge.
The Razzies, in case you don't know, are "a light-hearted parody of award shows in general (and The Oscars in particular)" and awards for the WORST rather than best in a wide range of film categories have been presented on the eve of the Academy Awards every year since 1980, making this the 37th event.
The full list of winners is below and you can watch the announcement video (all six and a half minutes of it) now.
2014 Worst Supporting Actor nominee Mel Gibson, for his Oscar®-nominated direction of Hacksaw Ridge.


Documents available here are intended to demonstrate range of interest and ability and are neither exhaustive nor even necessarily 'the best' work I have produced: Abiding interests in service and clinical practice as well as a desire to emphasize Dewey's virtues of collaboration and adaptability mediated the choices.
This paper was written to focus and theoretically ground my concern and hope for a more realistic development of instructional technology (re)connected to its integral place with people.
This is something of a vision statement, a direction for teacher education if you will. Given the increasing emphasis on K-16 partnerships by state and federal agencies as well as standards organizations such as NCATE it appears timely enough but I confess that sometimes I write a paper simply to clarify a problem with little thought to its timeliness to say nothing of eventual suitability for publication. Occasionally the idea develops sufficiently to be worth sharing and this article is a case in point.
This review was part of series of synopses and reviews written by multiple authors in 1995 at the behest of Michael Cole, Director of the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition.
Another paper, a draft really, in the 'written for clarification, not necessarily publication' category. The leverage of electronic networks makes it difficult to completely suppress another's voice, even a voice that becomes 'unwelcome.' This paper discusses key variables potentially governing community evaluation of voices, difficulties in sharing that evaluation and/or blocking a given voice with some implications for the schooling of children.
Originally linked to the Teacher Education web site, I was editor for three years and found the newsletter a useful tool for communicating with constituents including students, alumni, administrators, legislators and K-12 partners; e.g., Vol.4 No.2 (PDF). As Chair of the Lindsey Wilson College Education Division I also wrote and maintained the Division web site which included links to updated program files and critical student support documents such as the Student Handbook and Student Teacher Handbook. Note: I left Lindsey Wilson College in 2006 so the links here are to my own archives.
A report provided to the President of the college as well as the Academic Dean and Provost. These data are an integral part of the Education Division's continuous assessment process in addition to maintaining program compliance and audit readiness aligned with federal, state and accreditor benchmarks.
A good example of collaborative research. The problem was how to simultaneously assess need and develop the framework for a college online course. A blend of action research and design experiment facilitated visualization, process and articulation of the first in what promises to be a series of inquiries.
This was one of my first ethnographic studies, conducted in the early days of graduate school, but it continues to please me even after all this time. I've done better work since but rarely in such unfamiliar and challenging territory. The file available here is the version I provided to my hosts at the study site, edited to improve readability and assure informant confidentiality.
This is a very nice, platform independent lunar phase calculator.

No longer actively under development this project has branched into a number of useful Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) outlets for Windows and Linux. OpenOffice is a FOSS standout as are OpenDisc and EduBuntu. For quality (and free) video files try a search at the Open Video Project.
Virtually from the beginning of the microcomputer explosion in the mid '70's I felt that the promise of computers in education ultimately had less to do with direct teaching than it had to do with learning environment: Creating, facilitating and recording student progress within interactive spaces that students could explore and manipulate, particularly in areas difficult to physically reproduce in the classroom. Even to this day a great deal of educational software is surprisingly limited in this regard, possibly because the initial null model was "computer-as-instructor" and software developers have yet to completely shake that fundamentally mistaken notion (cf. Windward, R., 1997). The first software project I undertook was in 1978 on a Commodore PET 2000 with programming assistance from a more knowledgeable colleague. It was an instrumental learning simulator featuring a virtual rodent and allowed multiple maze learning trials to be run in a single class period; rodent 'intelligence' could be adjusted and maze trial data series investigated using a built-in t-test. Alas the program, as well as a couple others we developed, would only run on Commodore machines using Commodore BASIC neither of which are available any longer. Given time constraints and rusty programming skills I am more of a collector these days but when I find well executed software freely available to educators I will occasionally feature and/or make the title(s) available here.

Presidential elections were held in Rwanda on 4 August 2017. The incumbent President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, was re-elected to a third seven-year term with 98.79% of the vote.

Background
A referendum in 2015 approved constitutional amendments that allow incumbent President Paul Kagame to run for a third term in office in 2017, as well as shortening presidential terms from seven to five years, although the latter change would not come into effect until 2024.

Electoral system
The President of Rwanda is elected in one round of voting by plurality.

Candidates
Kagame announced that he would run for a third term in a televised address to mark the start of 2016, saying "You requested me to lead the country again after 2017. Given the importance and consideration you attach to this, I can only accept. But I don't think that what we need is an eternal leader."

In February 2017, Philippe Mpayimana announced his candidacy as an independent candidate. A former journalist and author, he had lived outside Rwanda since 1994 and worked with humanitarian organisations.

35-year-old businesswoman Diane Rwigara announced her candidacy, running as a critic of Kagame. Days after she launched her campaign, nude photos of Rwigara were leaked onto the Internet in an attempt to discredit her. On 7 July the National Electoral Commission disqualified Rwigara and two other candidates on technical grounds, alleging they had not collected enough valid signatures. The commission's decision was criticised by the US State Department and the European Union, while Amnesty International said that the election would be held in a "climate of fear and repression."

Democratic Green Party of Rwanda leader Frank Habineza also declared his candidacy.

Results

Aftermath
Following his victory, Kagame was sworn in for his third presidential term on 18 August 2017.

Geraldo Rivera: James Comey and 'Cabal' Tried to Remove Trump 'Via the 25th Amendment'
By Connor MannionAug 30th, 2019, 10:25 am
Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera trashed James Comey following the release of a critical Inspector General report, with Rivera suggesting Comey was trying to get President Donald Trump removed from office.
"Number one, James Comey is not going to jail," Rivera told Fox & Friends Friday. "He leaked confidential information, not classified information, thereby technically he is not guilty of the felony of, you know, of giving away secrets. So he is not going to go to jail on the giving away of secrets."
"But what I want people to understand, if I may, is that this sanctimonious person, this person who almost brought down Hillary Clinton. And I think he really did a job on her candidacy, and should be loathed by the Democrats as much as by the Republicans. He attempted, seems to me, he and a small cabal of people at the FBI attempted a coup," Rivera said.
"I know that's an incendiary word," he continued. "But ultimately his goal was to replace the president via the 25th Amendment. This is the biggest stuff. When you talk about history books, that is what this was really all about."
"This was the swamp, responding to an elected official, who is obviously untraditional, and going after him in a way they wanted to kill him – I don't mean kill him – but they wanted to get him out of office to be replaced by Vice President [Mike] Pence or whomsoever," Rivera said.
Watch above, via Fox News.

Puddington is a small village in Mid Devon within the Witheridge hundred . It is approximately nine miles from the town of Tiverton and 8 Miles from Crediton. During the reign of Edward (1003-1066) the land was held by Aethelweard.

Puddington or Potitone was mentioned in the Domesday book as being held by Ralph De Pomeroy for William Chevre/Cheever (his brother). It paid geld for 1 hide, had land for 8 ploughs, 3 slaves, 8 villains, 6 borders, 9 acres of meadow, 5 acres of pasture and 2 acres of scrubland. The land escheated to the crown during the reign of King Henry 1 (1100-1135) who granted them to his illegitimate son William 1 de Tracy (Died c1136). The grandson of William 1 de Tracy was one of the 4 knights responsible for the murder of Thomas a Becket, this could be the reason for the 15th Century church in the village being consecrated to St Thomas of Canterbury. The building has grade 2 listed status.

Puddington" means "estate associated with a man named Putta".

Q: Как правильно написать формулу path Встречаются разные формы записи <path>, например:

*

*<path d="M 10 210 L 110 10 L 210 210 z"/>

*<path d="M10,210  110,10 210,210 z"/>

*<path d="M 0 200 V 200 150 h 0 50 V 150 100 H 50 100 V 100 50 H 100 150 V 50 0 H 150 200 V 0 200 z"/>

*<path d="M 0 200 v-50 h50 v-50 h50 v-50 h50 v-50 h50  v200 z"/>

*<path d="M0,200v-50h50v-50h50v-50h50v-50h50v200z"/>
Возникают вопросы :
Что означают буквы в формуле патча?
Когда нужно ставить запятые, а когда разделять координаты пробелами?
Почему одни и те же буквы пишутся в одном случае заглавными, а вдругих случаях маленькими буквами?

A: Все приведенные в вопросе формы записи path правильные,- как вам удобно, так и пишите, соблюдая основное правило - положительные числа координат в формуле патча должны быть разделены пробелами или запятыми, или буквами команд патча.
Буквенные команды формулы патча
Все буквенные команды патча, могут быть в верхнем и нижнем регистре. Верхний регистр указывает на то, что последующая координата абсолютная (absolute), а нижний – относительная (relative).
M – (moveto x,y)   – переместить указатель в точку с абсолютными координатами (x,y)
 Эти координаты считаются началом пути.
m – (relative) - относительное начало пути применяется для сложных, пересекающихся или параллельных путей. Другими словами, когда в одном патче несколько подпатчей.
L - (lineto) нарисовать линию от текущей точки к указанной с абсолютными координатами (x,y) Эту команду можно не указывать, заменив её пробелом между соседними группами координат.
z - замыкание контура. Патч будет замкнут, если координаты конечной и начальной точки пути будут совпадать. Можно не указывать координаты конечной точки и путь будет замкнут, если после координат предпоследней точки будет написана команда -z
Ниже пример кода и поясняющей графики:

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="280" height="280" viewBox="0 10 300 300">
 <path d="M 10 210 L 110 10 L 210 210 z" fill="#9DE281" stroke-width="3" stroke="#FDD000"  />
</svg>

Красная точка - это начальная точка path - M 10 210
<path d="M 10 210 L 110 10 L 210 210 z"/>

*

*M 10 210 – перемещаем перо в начальную точку точку х="10″, y="210″`

*L 110 10 – рисуем линию до точки х="110″, y="10″

*L 210 210 – рисуем линию до точки х="210″, y="210″

*замыкаем контур – "z"

 Горизонтальные  (H,h) и вертикальные (V,v) линии
H (horizontal lineto) - эта команда для рисования горизонтальных линий, последующие две цифры указывают горизонтальные координаты начала и конца линии.
V (vertical lineto) -  команда для рисования вертикальных линий, последующие две цифры указывают вертикальные координаты начала и конца линии.
Пример
Рисуем вертикальную линию из точки M 110 210 в точку V 110 10.
<path d="M 110 210  V 110 10" />

В формуле патча обязательно должны быть указаны координаты начальной точки M 110 210 или другой точки из которой будет нарисована вертикальная линия.
Пример совместного использования вертикальных и горизонтальных линий.
Допустим нужно нарисовать ступеньки:

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 300 300">
<path d="M 0 200 V 200 150 h 0 50 V 150 100 H 50 100 V 100 50 H 100 150 V 50 0 H 150 200 V 0 200 z"                         style="stroke:red; fill: greenyellow"/>
</svg>

Использование вертикальных и горизонтальных линий с абсолютными координатами, как в примере выше, заметно увеличивает код. При использовании относительных координат код становится намного короче, так как задается только относительная длина h от последней точки пути для горизонтальных линий и высота v для вертикальных линий. Сам процесс рисования становится проще, так как не нужно высчитывать абсолютные расстояния от начала координат.
 Для сравнения,- ниже код рисует те же ступеньки с использованием относительных величин h и v .
Пример рисования с помощью относительных величин h и v

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="300" height="300" viewBox="0 0 300 300">
<path d="M 0 200 v-50 h50 v-50 h50 v-50 h50 v-50 h50  v200 z" style="stroke:red; fill: greenyellow"/>
</svg>

Так как начало координат (0,0) полотна SVG находится в левом верхнем углу, то положительное направление оси "X" будет вправо, а оси "Y" – вниз. Поэтому команда v -50 соответствует перемещению вверх на 50px от текущей точки по вертикали, а команда h -60 влево на 60px по горизонтали.
Более подробно здесь и здесь
Сокращенная формула записи патча
Можно еще сократить код, убрав пробелы, между командами и цифрами. Для разделения положительных чисел применяется запятая.
