3 Ways to Work Well with Millennial Employees
by Jean M. Twenge, author of Generation Me
Generation Me (20 and 30-somethings) grew up in an era of trophies for everyone and grade inflation, which resulted in highly positive self-views. Here's how to give young employees what they want–a sense of value, praise, and frequent feedback–to encourage better performance from them. From Generation Me.
Helping GenMe workers feel valued is a three-step process. First, tell them why what they are doing is important. A common label for this group is Generation Y, but some say it should instead be spelled Generation Why? This generation wants to know the meaning behind what they are doing—not the philosophical, abstract meaning important to the Boomers, but what it means overall. If the task is important, then they will feel important doing it. For GenMe, there is no better motivator. If possible, tie the job or skill to their eventual career goals. If you can tell them how what they are doing will help them succeed in the future, they will listen.
I once presented my GenMe research to a group of officers in the US Coast Guard. After the talk, one young officer stood up and said, "I want the senior officers to hear the part about explaining why. I really want to know why I'm doing something. It's not because I'm whining—it's because it really motivates me." One of the senior officers commented, "Well, you know, this is the military. Sometimes we're going to say we need boats in the water, and we won't be able to tell you why." "I know," said the junior officer. "But most of the time, you can." And that's the good news: in most businesses, you do have at least a little time to let employees know why what they are doing is important—or at least its larger goal.
One way to meet this goal is to put GenMe's skills to good use. GenMe does not remember a time when computers did not exist. They are digital natives—the rest of us just immigrated to this interconnected world. It makes sense to use their technological skills as much as possible. Their impatience might just help them find a faster way to do something.
Second, give praise when it's earned. Many Boomers say that when they were young workers, not getting yelled at was the only praise they received. If they weren't criticized, they knew they were doing a good job. Now young workers want feedback (including praise) for everything—and they want it now. This may sound like entitlement, but it can actually be a good thing for everyone. Why wait to tell Jared he did a good job on his presentation? And why wait to tell him how he can improve it?
In a video parodying generational workplace training seminars, a dim-witted GenMe employee admits he searched Google instead of relying on the company's specially commissioned market research. When his manager criticizes him, he says, "I quit. This job isn't what I thought it would be." Tongue in cheek, the narrator suggests instead that the manager should offer "overflowing amounts of praise," then shows her saying, "You're so smart," as she pats him on the head like a dog. Satire, yes, but in 2007 the Wall Street Journal noted that many companies were hiring "celebrations assistants" and "praise consultants" to hand out certificates and even throw confetti.
That's probably going too far. But the idea that no feedback is praise is also not a great system. The best place is somewhere in the middle: praise for work well done, as soon as possible, but with the same principle for criticism. One idea is the "praise sandwich," beginning with praise, mentioning places for improvement, and ending with praise. That works as long as the criticism is actually getting through. If not, no more sandwich, just meat. Another tip is to use and instead of but. Don't say, "You worked hard on this, but…," as that cancels out the praise in the first part of the sentence. Instead, say, "You worked hard on this, and it would be even better if next time…"
Third and last, give feedback more frequently than the classic model of an annual review. To GenMe'ers, a year might as well be a century. If they don't like the job, they will have left before then. As formal reviews take up a lot of managers' time, the solution is probably not more frequent formal reviews. But informal feedback frequently is both expected and appreciated by GenMe. In universities, this has taken the form of four or more tests a semester rather than the traditional midterm and final. It means more grading, but students do better because they realize more quickly what they know and don't know—also a useful correction to their overconfidence.
If you're GenMe yourself, you might wonder how to get your boss or coworkers to give you more frequent feedback or explain more about what you're doing. The key is how you frame it. Tell them you want to know the why or want faster feedback because it will help you do a better job. Don't sound as if you're just fishing for praise or whining about "why, why, why" you have to do something. Let people know it will increase your motivation and drive, and they'll be more likely to provide the feedback you crave.
Generation Me
by Jean M. Twenge
In this provocative and newly revised book, headline-making psychologist Dr. Jean Twenge explores why the young people she calls "Generation Me" are tolerant, confident, open-minded, and ambitious but also disengaged, narcissistic, distrustful, and anxious.Born in the '80s, and '90s and called "The Entitlement Generation" or Millennials, they are reshaping schools, colleges, and businesses all over the country.
Jean M. Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, is the author of more than 100 scientific publications and two books based on her research, Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic, as well as The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant. She lives in San Diego with her husband and daughters.

Cyberpunk 2077 sequences may cause seizures, developer patches in new warning
Gaming website Game Informer published an important PSA
By Nicole Carpenter@sweetpotatoes Updated Dec 10, 2020, 12:19pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Cyberpunk 2077 sequences may cause seizures, developer patches in new warning
People sensitive to epileptic triggers like flashing lights and patterns may want to use caution when playing Cyberpunk 2077, according to a Game Informer report published Monday.
Game Informer writer Liana Ruppert published a PSA detailing her experience playing CD Projekt Red's new blockbuster title. Ruppert said she has seizures, and experienced a serious one while playing Cyberpunk 2077 — specifically triggered by a prominent feature in the game, "braindance." Braindance, in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, is essentially virtual reality, but expanded; people in the game use this to relive actual experiences. Ruppert said it requires the player character to "suit up" with a headset.
The experience is initiated with a blinking light sequence, she said, describing it as "much like the actual device neurologists use in real life to trigger a seizure when they need to trigger one for diagnosis purposes." In the instances of the player character using braindance, blue and red lights flash in a rapid pattern for a few seconds before the entire screen flickers to white. The similarity to the intermittent photic stimulation that can trigger seizures is likely coincidental, though that doesn't mean it's any less of a danger to players with epilepsy.
Video games and disability: Looking back at a challenging decade
Ruppert also detailed other potential triggers in Cyberpunk 2077 in the story, which you should read over on Game Informer.
CD Projekt Red includes a "Seizure Warning" in its Cyberpunk 2077 end user license agreement, which reads:
Cyberpunk 2077 may contain flashing lights and images, which may induce epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your household has an epileptic condition, please consult your doctor before playing Cyberpunk 2077. If you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions while playing, immediately discontinue use and consult your doctor.
As Ruppert mentioned in her story, accessibility options have been increasingly common in video games. Certain games have modes to adjust for colorblindness and hearing accessibility. Options for blind or low-vision players, and settings for players with arachnophobia, are often available, too. Ruppert pointed out some PC options that may assist in lessening Cyberpunk 2077's epilepsy triggers, but at present there are no in-game options. Polygon has reached out to CD Projekt Red for more information.
"The bulk of seizure risk can be avoided"
Seizure warnings began popping up on video game boxes in the early 1990s, following news stories about seizures triggered by video games. Another widely publicized instance was with a 1997 episode of the Pokémon anime, which reportedly caused seizures and disorientation in children watching the show. (As a Vice story details, the Pokémon incident is more complex than what it seems at surface level. A researcher found that it was not actually thousands of children that experienced it — more like a few hundred. The symptoms following appeared to be related to "mass hysteria," with real symptoms, but not epilepsy.)
In particular, Ian Hamilton, an accessibility specialist from the U.K., told Polygon that, following these instances, the International Standards Organization began publishing guidelines regarding seizure risk — determining "what degree of flashing and patterns constitutes a reasonable level of risk."
"While no game can ever be 'epilepsy safe,' sticking to that standard means that the bulk of seizure risk can be avoided," Hamilton said.
Another seizure case, in 2007, inspired the House of Commons to consider binding guidelines to ensure games adhere to that "reasonable level of risk." The house declined to enact any legislation, however.
Ruppert's story has sparked an uptick in discussion of accessibility in games — particularly, why epileptic triggers have been widely accepted as unavoidable in the industry. Like Hamilton said, a game can't necessarily be "epilepsy safe," but there is certainly work to be done to make video games more accessible to more people. For a lot of players, a flashing light is likely something that we give a passing glance to, but for people at risk for seizures, it could be a dangerous trigger. Limiting strobing light effects — or providing ways for players to limit them — ensures a safer experience.
The fight for fair gaming
Hamilton pointed out that Cyberpunk 2077's flashing lights don't make the developer "a villain," nor does it do the same for any developer that includes a trigger in its game. Instead, Hamilton frames the epileptic trigger as an area of accessibility that is largely overlooked by people that don't experience these issues, and a blind spot that the industry should no longer ignore.
"Despite the potential harm, which hopefully can be reduced by them patching quickly, CDPR really aren't villains of the piece," Hamilton said. "They're just representative of a broader lack of awareness of the impact that design decisions can have. And from that perspective there should be some positives to come from it; and a game of Cyberpunk's prominence being involved makes this a learning moment not just for CDPR but for the industry in general. There's a strong precedent of lasting positive change coming from incidents like this."
Some companies are making more aggressive efforts to make their games more accessible. Microsoft, for instance, requires its Xbox Game Studios titles to pass the "Harding FPA product safety testing" without failure. The Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer is software that determines whether a series of flashing lights or patterns may be at risk of causing seizures.
In that document, Microsoft notes that these flashing patterns may cause problems for "a wide range of players," in addition to players sensitive to seizure triggers, like people "who are autistic, prone to migraines, or have sensory processing disorder."
"The issues are usually easily solvable," Hamilton said. "Games where the experience is fundamentally about flickering and flashing are extremely rare. For example the braindance chair in Cyberpunk — rather than the LEDs flickering into life, they could simply fade up."
Update (2:38 p.m. EST): On Twitter, CD Projekt Red responded to Game Informer's report. The developer said it plans to implement a separate epilepsy warning in the game beyond the language contained in its EULA, and is "currently exploring" a more permanent solution that it "will be implementing as soon as possible" to address the in-game sequence.
Thank you for bringing this up. We're working on adding a separate warning in the game, aside from the one that exists in the EULA (https://t.co/eXpPn73VSK). Regarding a more permanent solution, Dev team is currently exploring that and will be implementing it as soon as possible. https://t.co/lXFypnSit2

Correction: A previous version of this story misspelled reporter Liana Ruppert's name as Liana Rupert. The story has been updated to correct her name.
Update (Dec. 10): On Cyberpunk 2077 launch night, Dec. 9, players noticed that CD Projekt Red had patched a seizure warning into the game to appear during its boot sequence. This means that following Game Informer's Dec. 7 report about the issue, CD Projekt Red was able to implement the warning screen in a little over 48 hours.
Booted up Cyberpunk 2077 to see a seizure warning come up at the start of the game that wasn't there before. Really amazing to see how @DirtyEffinHippy helped make meaningful change happen for the safety of players. pic.twitter.com/ItNwuLOxla

However, the seizure warning appears only in the PC version of the game; it is currently absent on consoles.
The console exclusion here is not uncommon. Most developers can implement changes on PC much faster than on consoles due to numerous factors, particularly the certification process for patches that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo require developers to go through. The seizure warning is likely on its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well.

Something's being overlooked in the controversy over contacts between the #PMO of @JustinTrudeau and former AG @Puglaas Jody Wilson-Raybould.
2 Ministers don't normally make more than perfunctory "thanks to my former staff; I'm looking forward to new challenges" statements on these occasions.
Trudeau PMO interfering in criminal prosecutions pressuring Attorney General to abandon criminal prosecution of his cronies. When she refused Trudeau fired her. Now he's denying it!
WATCH Trudeau lie to the nation & how easily he does so.
Attorney General "duty of confidentiality to client" Only Trudeau himself can waive!!
🇨🇦 Parliament: Trudeau Government grilled re PMO interference in criminal prosecution at highest level.
NOT ONE HAS CROSSED THE FLOOR.
2. But #tools provide little support for the *content* of most #Agile delivery tasks, from defining Product Vision to conducting Daily Stand-Up Meetings. They do support day-to-day workflow, reporting and recording, but at that level are often easily replaced by manual #methods.
Recall that Harper went to Washington on July 2 and recall also that the prime minister's office was surprised when the news was leaked. PM's office found out because the White House called the #PMO to ask if he was bringing his wife.
That suggests to me that #Harper may have passed himself off as the prime minister when he set up those meetings. Why else would they ask the #PMO if Trudeau was bringing his wife?

The stage when bones are in the beginning stages of thinning but not easily broken is called Osteopenia. When not treated, this condition progresses to Osteoporosis. The article below has more information on tests that can determine if you have Osteopenia and the possible treatment options for it. Schedule an appointment with our experts if you would like to know more.
Like their names suggest, osteopenia and osteoporosis are related diseases. Both are varying degrees of bone loss, as measured by bone mineral density, a marker for how strong a bone is and the risk that it might break. If you think of bone mineral density as a slope, normal would be at the top and osteoporosis at the bottom. Osteopenia, which affects about half of Americans over age 50, would fall somewhere in between.
The main way to determine your bone density is to have a painless, noninvasive test called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) that measures the mineral content of bone. The measurements, known as T-scores, determine which category — osteopenia, osteoporosis, or normal — a person falls into (see graphic).
Fracture risk increases as bone mineral density declines. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2001 reported that a 50-year-old white woman with a T-score of -1 has a 16% chance of fracturing a hip, a 27% chance with a -2 score, and a 33% chance with a -2.5 score.
But there isn't a huge difference between, say, a -2.3 T-score and -2.5, although the former would be labeled osteopenia and the latter, osteoporosis. "The label matters less than the number. These distinctions are to some extent arbitrary lines in the sand," says Dr. Maureen Connelly, a preventive medicine expert at Harvard Medical School. Regardless of your exact score, if your bone density results fall into the osteopenia category, your doctors will probably schedule you for a bone mineral density test every two to five years.
What's your bone density score?
A T-score ranging from -1 to -2.5 is classified as osteopenia. The lower the score, the more porous your bone.
not getting enough weight-bearing exercise (at least 30 minutes on most days).
If your feet touch the ground during an exercise, it's probably weight bearing. Running and walking are weight bearing. Swimming and biking are not.
Women are far more likely to have low bone density than men, but it's no longer viewed as solely a women's condition. About a third of white and Asian men over age 50 are affected. The percentages for Hispanics (23%) and blacks (19%) are lower, but still sizable.
Should I get a bone mineral density test?
Experts disagree about who should get their bone mineral density measured because it's not clear that the benefits justify the cost. Consider this: 750 tests of women between the ages of 50 and 59 would need to be done to prevent just one hip or spine fracture over a five-year period. From a societal point of view, is that worth it?
If you aren't in one of these categories yet, don't wait until you are to start doing some weight-bearing exercise. Some "uplifting" activity now might prevent frail bones later.
For men, testing is done more on a case-by-case basis.
Osteopenia can be treated either with exercise and nutrition or with medications. But some doctors are increasingly wary about overmedicating people who have osteopenia. The fracture risk is low to begin with, and research has shown that medication may not reduce it that much. We also don't know if the medications might have some long-term effects. So if your T-score is under -2, you need to be sure you are doing regular weight-bearing exercise, and you are getting enough vitamin D and dietary calcium. If you're closer to -2.5, your doctor may consider adding medication to keep your bones strong.

Meet Diana: Dove's new film exploring overcoming life's challenges
The short documentary is one in a series of films with Scandal Producer Shonda Rhimes revealing the lives of ordinary women
Dove has released its third film with acclaimed TV producer Shonda Rhimes.
The Unilever-owned brand created Real Beauty Productions in March, naming the Grey's Anatomy creator as its first Creative Director.
Meet Diana is a three-minute film that shares the issues of confidence and emotional beauty through teacher Diana Wright after she lost her leg in a car accident, and how she found a sense self-assurance in her changed appearance.
Wright said: "I had to learn how to walk again, but I knew that once I started walking that I would set the next goal, and then the next one.
"I wouldn't stop until I could gain everything I was capable of doing before."
Wright's story is part of a series of films created by Dove and Rhimes that aims to reveal the lives of women who buck the trend of 'traditional beauty'.
"For 60 years, Dove has listened to and cared for women and girls everywhere. Our research and continued conversations with women around the world tell us that girls are bombarded by images and messages that affect their confidence every single day," said Nick Soukas, Vice President of Marketing at Dove.
"With Dove Real Beauty Productions we're addressing the issue from the inside out to ensure that women and girls see their real beauty reflected on screen."

Q: In regular expressions, how can an explicit character optionally appear in a replacement? I am trying to extract graph information from a text file and converting it to CSV format. The data appears in the format:
    X-axis    Y-axis    dY/dX

which I intend to convert to:
X-axis,Y-axis,dY/dX

It should be noted, however, that the dY/dX column is not always present when exported from the software being used.
The regular expression I have at present is:
\s*(?<xaxis>\-*\d+\.\d+)\s*(?<yaxis>\-*\d+\.\d+)\s*(?<dydx>\-*\d+\.\d+)*

and the replacement expression is:
${xaxis},${yaxis},${dydx}

My question is this: even though the matching expression accounts for the optional nature of the dY/dX column, how can the replacement expression do the same? At present, if the dY/dX column is not present, a trailing comma is printed to the CSV file. I appreciate this is not a major problem, but I would like to know if it is possible.

A: It turns out to not be possible. I have since rewritten the program to store the data first in a DataTable instance, then generate a CSV file from that. That way, the number of columns can be determined and the necessary formatting applied to the output.

As of July 29th, the Whittemore Peterson Institute ranks 6th overall and 1st within its region with 45,453 votes. They are currently 74,447 votes behind the leader and it would seem unlikely at this point that they can overcome that lead and win the first prize of $250,00. They are, however, well ahead of the second place organization and seem assured of winning the $100,000 regional award.
Currently, The National ME/FM Action Network ranks 3rd within its region with 6,908 votes. The first place award of $100,000 in their region appears attainable if they get the full, daily support of those afflicted with ME/CFS.

About 91outcomes
91outcomes.com is a health and news website for veterans of the 1991 Gulf War.
The health outcomes of the 1991 Gulf War continue to profoundly affect between one-fourth and one-third, according to official estimates, of the war's nearly 700,000 U.S. veterans.
They also affect innumerable fellow veterans from our Coalition partners, including the UK, Australia, Canada, and the Czech Republic, to name just a few.
The aim of 91outcomes.com is to provide fellow Gulf War veterans and their caregivers, advocates, and loved ones, with a credible source of information for health information on Gulf War Illness and other news, all in one place, some of which isn't available anywhere else.
Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Anthony Hardie, the publisher and editor of 91outcomes.com. I created 91outcomes.com in 2009** because I'm also one of the 250,000 veterans of the 1991 Gulf War afflicted by Gulf War Illness, and this is what I choose to do to help my fellow Gulf War veterans. Of course, there's much more that remains to be done -- please feel free to jump in and help however you may see fit to fill those many gaps.
I've been continuously active as a national advocate on Gulf War and other veterans' issues since 1995, shortly after my honorable discharge after seven years of U.S. Army service that included serving in the 1991 Gulf War and Somalia. Later, in part because of that advocacy work, I was selected to be a Congressional aide, and then a veterans' affairs state agency executive. If you're really interested, you can read more about me on my Google profile.
I also do my best to to help my fellow Gulf War veterans by serving as an affected veteran on the programmatic panel that leads and guides the Gulf War Illness Research Program, part of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). And, I'm a former longtime member of VA's Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses (RAC) and the VA's Gulf War Illness [Research] Steering Committee. In my service on these panels, I do my very best to represent the many other ill and affected Gulf War veterans, including the readers of this website.
**NOTE: Much of the content on 91outcomes is "fair use" content archived for personal use and for single-site archival use by other Gulf War veterans. Articles dated prior to 2009 are archival in nature, and are pre-dated concurrent to the time noted in the article.

Q: Is the cyclic vector for companion matrix independent of the specific companion matrix under consideration? Suppose $C_1, C_2 \in M_n(\mathbb R)$ are two matrices in companion form. If $v$ is a cyclic vector for $C_1$, i.e., $\{v, C_1 v, C_1^2 v, \dots, C_1^{n-1}v\}$ is a basis for $\mathbb R^n$, does this imply $v$ is also cyclic for $C_2$? The obvious choice of a cyclic vector for companion matrices is $e_1$ and this is certainly cyclic for all companion matrices. But does this in general hold or there is a counterexample?

A: The answer is no. Consider
$$
A=\pmatrix{0&0&1\\ 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0},\ B=\pmatrix{0&0&0\\ 1&0&\ast\\ 0&1&\ast},
\ C=\pmatrix{0&0&1\\ 1&0&-1\\ 0&1&-1}.
$$
Then

*

*$v=e_3$ is cyclic for $A$ but not for $B$. The problem is that $v\in\operatorname{ran}(B)\subsetneqq\mathbb R^n$.

*$(1,1,1)^T$ is cyclic for $C$ but not for $A$, because it is an eigenvector of $A$.

A: From a probabilistic point of view, you are right.
Let $C_1,\cdots,C_k\in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ be cyclic matrices. Firstly, randomly choose a vector $v\in\mathbb{R}^n$ (for example, the $(v_i)$ follow independent normal laws).
Then, with probability $1$, $v$ is a common cyclic vector of all the $(C_i)$.

Orientalium Ecclesiarum () — декрет Второго Ватиканского собора Католической церкви. Полное название — Декрет о Восточных католических церквях «Orientalium Ecclesiarum». Утверждён папой Павлом VI 21 ноября 1964 года, после того как он был одобрен на соборе. За финальный вариант документа высказалось 2 110 участников собора, против — 39. Своё название получил по принятой в католицизме практике по своим двум первым словам.

Декрет Orientalium Ecclesiarum — один из девяти декретов Второго Ватиканского собора. Он посвящён Восточнокатолическим церквям.

Структура
Декрет состоит из 30 статей, объединённых в 8 глав:

 Вступление (статья 1)
 Об отдельных Церквах, или обрядах (статьи 2-4)
 О сохранении духовного достояния Восточных Церквей (статьи 5-6)
 О Восточных Патриархах (статьи 7-11)
 О дисциплине таинств (статьи 12-18)
 О богопочитании (статьи 19-23)
 Об отношениях с братьями, принадлежащими к отделённым Церквам  (статьи 24-29)
 О миссионерах (статьи 23-27)
 Об организации миссионерской деятельности (статьи 28-34)
 Заключение (статья 30)

Содержание
Декрет признаёт право Восточных католических церквей на собственное каноническое право и на сохранение в чистоте практикуемых ими восточных литургических обрядов. В документе подтверждаются права возглавляющих церковь Патриархов и Верховных Архиепископов устанавливать епархии, поставлять епископов, назначать патриарших экзархов, составлять литургический календарь согласно свойственной для данного обряда традиции.

Документ подчёркивает каноническое равенство литургических обрядов в Церкви, высказывает уважение восточным христианским традициям:

Заключительный раздел декрета посвящён отношениям с некатолическими Восточными христианскими церквами. Декрет говорит о необходимости братского уважения к христианам отделённых церквей и устанавливает, что несмотря на отсутствие евхаристического единства в отдельных случаях допустимо причащение членов этих церквей в католических храмах и наоборот.

DRIFT (I, II)
Thomas Bîrzan & Mario Barrantes Espinoza
"The less there was to see, the harder he looked, the more he saw. This was the point. To see what's here, finally to look and to know you're looking, to feel time passing, to be alive to what is happening in the smallest registers of motion."
DON DELILLO, POINT OMEGA
The Drift series is an exploration of slowness at the crossroads between performance, live concert and sculpture. Divided in three chapters, it is conceived as a "microreography" which drifts back and forth between the macroscopic and the microscopic, the grandiose and the minuscule. Two bodies manoeuvre with precision in the narrow gap separating slowness from stillness, leaving traces of their navigation on the surface of a carpet.
Drift (I) and Drift (II) were the two first stops on this journey. The former explored slowness as intimacy: tactility emerged as the binding tissue between these two bodies, which seemed to be regulated by an archipelagic model: they were both fragments and whole, codependent and foreign. The latter investigated slowness as virtuosity and was born out of a desire to drift away from a long-standing tradition of virtuosity in male duets as a fast-paced and highly explosive display of technique.

Firing surf and shocking upsets at the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal
Supertubos, Peniche...
Tags: MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal
The penultimate event on the Men's World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT), the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal, resumed in firing eight-to-ten foot surf (2.5 – 3 metre) for a third full day of action to decide the event's first Quarterfinalists at Supertubos. The day witnessed incredible performances from the world's best surfers, heavy wipeouts as competitors chased big barrels, and a major upset in the World Title campaign.
In order to stop current World No. 1 Gabriel Medina (BRA) from winning the title at the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal, No. 2 Filipe Toledo (BRA) had to win his Round 3 heat to guarantee a 9th place finish. In a dramatic turn of events, World No. 33 Joan Duru (FRA) upset Toledo's World Title plans with a win in their Round 3 matchup.
Duru started well with a smaller backhand barrel for a 6.50 (out of a possible 10) to take the lead with a minor backup score. Toledo reacted and got a clean – but short – tube, complemented with a couple of turns for a 5.43. He quickly found a better wave to post a 6.67 to turn the heat with a combination of four good turns. But the Frenchman got one final opportunity where he locked in a quick barrel and finished the wave with three turns for a 6.00 to upset the World Title contender right on the buzzer.
"This morning was a really tough heat and I was stoked to make it through," Duru said. "Waves are similar to what we surf at home but the rips are much stronger. If you get taken in it there's really nothing to surf, so it's all about trying to stay just outside in clean waters. I'm not focused on rankings at all, I really have nothing to lose. I feel like I've been unlucky a lot this year and I couldn't really show what I can do, so in these last two events I really want to just surf as well as I can and enjoy competing."
With Toledo now eliminated from the competition, Medina has one less opponent to stop him from clinching the title early in Peniche. Current World No. 3 Julian Wilson (AUS) needs to make the Semifinals in order to push the World Title race to the Billabong Pipe Masters this December. Toledo could also lose his No. 2 spot if Wilson keeps his excellent form and posts another big result in Portugal.
Wilson made sure to advance through to Round 4 to have a shot at stopping Medina's possible title run in Peniche. The Australian, fresh off a win in France, locked into a long and deep barrel on his forehand to post the day's highest single number of 8.67 and take a crucial win over Ian Gouveia (BRA).
"Conditions have been amazing with so many beautiful waves coming through," Wilson said. "The tide's getting low, and it's getting pretty scary out there but this is what we come here to surf. I've had many barrels like that one here and if you don't come out clean it just takes your head off. On that one I just kind of widened my stance and had five pumps in the barrel chasing that thing down and I was so relieved to come out."
The other standout of Round 3 was his compatriot Owen Wright (AUS) who tied with Wilson with an 8.67 of his own, for a late drop into a cavern on his backhand, coming out with the spit and into a big snap for the win into Round 4. Adrian Buchan (AUS) will join Wilson and Wright in the last heat of Round 4 when the event resumes.
Round 4 Heat 1, between Italo Ferreira (BRA), Matt Wilkinson (AUS) and Ezekiel Lau (HAW), offered a few great waves, starting with Ferreira's 7.33 backhand barrel. The Brasilian backed up his main score with a two-turn combo for a 7.27 and a firm hold on the lead. Wilkinson found a similar left to lay two big turns for a 7.47 for second place. Lau, on the other hand, committed to a couple of big drops to deep barrels but couldn't find the exits and finished his heat with two minimal scores, eliminated in Equal 9th.
"It's so good to be in the Quarters again," Ferreira said. "That was a good heat, I caught a lot of waves and tried my best on every single one. There's a lot of current out there, it's hard to find a wave that's why I caught a lot of them to try different maneuvers and try to get barreled."
The third heat of Round 4 wrapped up the action for the day with a battle between Kanoa Igarashi (JPN), Wade Carmichael (AUS), and Duru. Duru and Igarashi shared the action for the first twenty minutes, building a healthy scoreboard each, while Carmichael stood patiently in the lineup only opting to surf his first wave with ten minutes remaining. Duru's backhand vertical attack gave him the lead with 11.50 over Igarashi's 9.10. Carmichael only came back extremely late in the heat and didn't have enough time for a second decent score, ultimately placing Equal 9th.
Duru advanced into the Quarterfinals for the first time this season and will need a strong finish in Portugal and Hawaii if he wants to keep his spot amongst the Top 34 next season. He is currently ranked 33rd on the Jeep Leaderboard with only the Top 22 earning places on the men's Championship Tour.
A few other surfers lost big in Round 3, starting with World No. 10 Kolohe Andino (USA), who collected a second consecutive 13th place after France, after finding an in-form Lau on his way. Andino and Lau tied for first place but the Hawaiian's highest single score gave him the win.
World No. 5 Jordy Smith (ZAF) suffered a similar fate, losing to Wilkinson by a mere .06 points, despite scoring the heat's best wave. Conner Coffin (USA) joined the list of shocking early exits in Round 3, as the Californian couldn't match the power of Morais and flair in shifty supertubes.
Event officials will reconvene tomorrow morning, Friday, October 19, at 8:00 a.m. WEST to reassess conditions and decide the day's schedule.

Did a Philadelphia couple organize a private train line to take wounded servicemen to the Army-Navy football game?
Claim: A Philadelphia couple organized a private train line to take wounded servicemen to the 2005 Army-Navy football game.
And now, in time for the holidays, I bring you the best Christmas story you never heard.
It started last Christmas, when Bennett and Vivian Levin were overwhelmed by sadness while listening to radio reports of injured American troops. "We have to let them know we care," Vivian told Bennett.
So they organized a trip to bring soldiers from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital to the annual Army-Navy football game in Philly, on Dec. 3.
The cool part is, they created their own train line to do it.
In 2005, the Philadelphia couple Bennett and Vivian Levin combined the idea of reviving the game day train tradition with their desire to do something for injured American troops — and they already had a good head start on the project since they themselves owned three luxury rail cars and two locomotives. With the goal of transporting wounded service members to the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia from Walter Reed Army Medical Center (in Washington, D.C.) and the National Naval Medical Center (in Bethesda, Maryland), they convinced the owners of an additional fifteen luxury rail liners into donating their cars for a day's use and arranged for Amtrak to transport the cars to Washington and back. A donor from the Army War College Foundation supplied 100 prime-seat tickets for the 3 December 2005 Army-Navy game, and the Levins used their temporary rail line — dubbed the Liberty Limited — to transport 88 troops and guests to the game round-trip from Washington's Union Station to Philadelphia, all free of charge.
The event received little publicity due to security precautions and because Mr. Levin insisted that no press or politicians be allowed to ride along on the train, but Philadelphia Daily News columnist Ronnie Polaneczky's account of it was published in the 22 December 2005 edition of that newspaper, and the text of her column was soon being circulated widely on the Internet via e-mail.
Philadelphia Daily News 22 December 2005.


Fox has pushed The Beast, its medical drama pilot from former ER executive producer Neal Baer, for casting reasons.
The Beast was the last of six Fox drama pilots to get a pickup, adding additional pressure on the project, a single-lead medical procedural. Studio 20th Century Fox TV will look to cast the pilot in the off-season when there will be more talent options. The Beast was one of two medical drama pilots ordered by Fox this season, along with The Resident.
The Beast, which had tapped Stephen Hopkins to direct, is the second drama pilot to be rolled this season, along with CBS' untitled Paul Attanasio — an inevitable occurrence when close to 100 pilots/TV series on broadcast as well as cable and streaming are casting at the same time.
With Fox's vampire drama pilot The Passage also filming after the upfronts, the network will have four drama pilots to choose from in May, which might be the fewest ever: The Resident, legal drama Controversy, military soap Behind Enemy Lines and the Marvel X-Men-themed action drama.
Written by Law & Order: SVU veterans Baer, a practicing pediatrician, and Dawn DeNoon, The Beast is a life-and-death procedural. Literally. Each week follows three challenging medical cases. In the end, two of the patients will live, one will die. The series will center on their doctor — with a clinical fear of death — who never stops fighting the odds.
Baer, DeNoon and Jessica Shulman executive produce for 20th TV and studio-based Baer Bones.

Q: javascript: evaluating multiple if statements without also running else i'm trying to throw together a simple javascript page with multiple if statements. the idea is to append to a list based on the evaluation of a stack of if statements. the problem is if any one of them fails, it triggers the else statement. i only want it to trigger else in the case that all of them fail.

My fruit basket has:

if (apples) {
        document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML += "apples";
    }
if (oranges) {
        document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML += "oranges";
    }
if (bananas) {
        document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML += "bananas";
    }
else {
        document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML += "nothing";
}

when i run this and all conditions are met, i'll get:
My fruit basket has: apples oranges bananas

when i run this and no conditions are met, i'll get:
My fruit basket has: nothing

but if any one of the conditions is not met, i'll get:
My fruit basket has: apples nothing

or
My fruit basket has: apples bananas nothing

i've tried using if else, but then it quits after the first 'match'. so in the above example if i have both apples and bananas, using if else will return
My fruit basket has: apples

and not tell me i also have bananas.
question: how do i do this so the else statement is only run in the case that all if statements have failed?
EDIT
i tried to make this as simple as i could, but it seems i over simplified it.
the else nothing isn't known until all the if statements have been run. that's literally it's condition: if all the ifs fail.
i tried using the OR operator and it just broke everything. in my code, what's actually happening at if (apples) is it's checking today's date to see if it falls within a range of dates. it needs to do this for a whole bunch of different fruit based on a schedule that is pretty complicated, i.e. figuring out exactly which fruit are in the basket on a given day is harder than just running the schedule against these if 'rules'.

A: Separate the if statements so that the branches are not mutually exclusive and set up a "result" variable with a default value prior to testing.
Side Notes:

*

*String.indexOf(str) is a way to check for a string's position
within another string. It returns the index position that the search
string was found at or -1 if the string wasn't found at all. It's a
great way to test for the existence of a substring.

*Only update the web page elements when absolutely necessary (i.e.
setting .innerHTML) because it's an expensive operation. Instead,
you can prepare what you want to write out in a string ahead of time
and then, once the string is completely built, inject it into the
page just once.

*.innerHTML is used when the string you are getting/setting contains
HTML that needs to be parsed as such. When your string doesn't
contain any HTML, it's wasteful to use this because you are asking
the HTML parser to look for and process HTML that it's not going to
find. In these cases, use .textContent because it bypasses the HTML
parser and is more efficient.

var out = document.getElementById("output");

function fruit(type){

  // Set type to an empty string if it is undefined
  type = type || "";

  // Set a default value first
  var result = "";

  if (type.indexOf("apples") > -1) {
    result = "apples";
  }

  if (type.indexOf("oranges") > -1) {
    result += " oranges";
  }

  if (type.indexOf("bananas") > -1) {
    result += " bananas";
  }

  // If the result is still an empty string, nothing correct was passed
  if(!result){
    result = "nothing";
  }

  // Now write out the final value of the variable
  // and only use .innerHTML when you are writing HTML,
  // otherwise, use .textContent
  out.textContent = result;

}

fruit();                  // My fruit basket has: nothing
fruit("apples");          // My fruit basket has: apples
fruit("oranges");         // My fruit basket has: oranges
fruit("bananas");         // My fruit basket has: bananas
fruit("apples oranges");  // My fruit basket has: apples oranges
fruit("apples bananas");  // My fruit basket has: apples bananas

My fruit basket has:

A: Use the negation operator to check the nothing case.
if (!(apples || oranges || bananas)) {
  document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML = "nothing";
  return; // Assuming this code is inside of a function.
}

if (apples) {
  document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML += "apples";
}

if (oranges) {
  document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML += "oranges";
}

if (bananas) {
  document.getElementById("fruit").innerHTML += "bananas";
}

A: You can just combine these statements using the or || separator and catch every other case:
Syntax: if (apples || oranges || bananas) {} if apples or oranges or bananas
Syntax: if (apples && oranges && bananas) {} if apples and oranges and bananas
Syntax: if ( (apples && oranges) || bananas) {} if apples and oranges or just bananas

var apples = false, oranges = false, bananas = false

var count=0 // just for displaying different fruits
function switchFruit() {

  if (count == 1) {apples=true; oranges=false, bananas=false, button.value="apple"}
  if (count == 2) {apples=false; oranges=true, bananas=false, button.value="oranges"}

Have a look at logical operators in the docs

A: There are multiple ways to do this. I'm partial to adding a variable to keep track of whether or not any of the ifs returned true:
var empty = true;
if(apples) {
    innerHTML += "apples";
    empty = false;
}
if(oranges) {
    innerHTML += "oranges";
    empty = false;
}
if(bananas) {
    innerHTML += "bananas";
    empty = false;
}
if(empty) {
    innerHTML += "nothing";
}

Alternatively, you could figure out if its empty based on the length of the added string:
var str = "";
if(apples) {
    str += "apples";
}
if(oranges) {
    str += "oranges";
}
if(bananas) {
    str += "bananas";
}
if(str.length == 0) {
    str = "nothing";
}

innerHTML += str;
