This is the late-19th century version of the Waltz, with a side-step on the second count of the backing half, allowing the Waltz to be easily reversed.
1: Facing against LOD, the Lead steps back with his left foot, toward the outside wall, as the Follow steps with her right foot forward, slightly between his feet, along LOD.
2: The Lead takes a small side step right, along LOD, as the Follow takes a large side step left, along LOD, passing by in the inside lane.
3: Both close their trailing foot (his left, her right) up to that side step, taking weight.
Sause 1880 describes both this turn to the right, as well as a reverse turn to the left, and forward and backward movements (as in the Pursuit).
Contemporary variations of the Waltz can be found on the Rotary Waltz page.
Slide left foot backward to the left to 4th position (count one); draw right foot backward to the right to 4th position (count two); slide left foot backward to 1st position (count three).
Slide right foot forward to the right to 4th position (count four); draw left foot forward to the left to 4th position (count five); slide right foot forward to 1st position (count six).
To Reverse to the Left.
Slide right foot backward to the right to 4th position (count one ); draw left foot backward to the left to 4th position (count two); slide right foot backward to 1st position (count three).
Slide forward with the left foot to 4th position (count four); draw right foot forward to the right to 4th position (count five); slide left foot forward to 1st position (count six).
Glide the left foot backward and to the left about twelve inches (count one); then bring right foot back to second position (count two); place left foot in first position (count three); advance right foot a full step and turn toe to the right, as in fourth position, (count four); advance left foot half the length of the foot before and about the length of the foot to the left of right foot (count five); and then bring right foot to the first position (count six).
In movements two and five the weight of the body must rest very lightly, these steps somewhat resembling a limp. On the other hand the full weight of the body should rest on counts one, three, four, and six.
The lady commences on the fourth step, and continues with five, six, one, two, and three.
In this way the lady executes four, five and six, while the gentleman executes one, two and three.
These are the steps necessary for turning to the right, and at the sixth step a complete turn must be accomplished.
The reverse, or turn to the left, is effected by substituting the right foot for the left in the foregoing explanation.
These steps are reversed for forward movement.

Boguszowice (niem. Plaschkenhäuser) – przysiółek wsi Suszyna w Polsce, położony w województwie dolnośląskim, w powiecie kłodzkim, w gminie Radków.

W latach 1975–1998 przysiółek administracyjnie należał do województwa wałbrzyskiego. Boguszowice są wliczone w powierzchnię Suszyny.

Położenie
Boguszowice leżą we Wzgórzach Ścinawskich, na zachodnim zboczu Czeskiego Wzgórza, na wysokości około 400-410 m n.p.m.

Historia
Boguszowice powstały najprawdopodobniej na przełomie XIX i XX wieku jako mała kolonia Suszyny. Miejscowość nigdy nie rozwinęła się, po 1945 roku została zasiedlona tylko częściowo. W 1993 roku były tu zaledwie trzy domy.

Q: Solving arrayoutofbounds I'm trying to solve an arrayoutofbounds exception
the exact error is:

---------------------^

That should be j instead of i
I don't know if that's the only problem, however...

A: Try this:
public static int[][] getSolution(int[][] grid)
{
    int [][] solution = new int[grid.length];

    if (grid != null)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < grid.length; ++i)
        {
            grid[i] = new int[grid.length];
            System.arraycopy(grid[i], 0, SolveSudoku.grid[i], 0, grid.length);
        }
        int n = getZeroes();
        solution = getSolution(n);
    }

Q: How to set refreshModelBeforeResult in ModelDriven interceptor? I am planning to use refreshModelBeforeResult as suggested in Struts2 Documentation, however I am confused whether this property can be set in Action class or struts.xml. Is there is anything apart from what I have tried below
<action name="myAction" class="com.stuff.MyActionClass" method="myMethod">
        <result name="myHome" type="tiles">MyHome</result>

        <interceptor-ref name="basicStack" />
        <interceptor-ref name="params"/>
        <interceptor-ref name="modelDriven">
          <param name="refreshModelBeforeResult">true</param>
        </interceptor-ref>
</action>

A: You have asked

I am confused whether this property can be set in Action class or struts.xml

This property is called a parameter, and it could be used to parametrize the interceptor configuration or when overriding the interceptors in action configuration. Like you did or like the example in the doc link that you referenced.
<action name="someAction" class="com.examples.SomeAction">
    <interceptor-ref name="modelDriven">
      <param name="refreshModelBeforeResult">true</param>
    </interceptor-ref>
    <interceptor-ref name="basicStack"/>
    <result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
</action>

In this example the interceptors configuration is overridden that means only those interceptors that you have used with interceptor-ref tag will be configured.
You can't set this property to the action because it's an interceptor parameter, and not the action parameter. Interceptors are singletons and use only static parameters by the configuration which is built when a dispatcher is initialized (on start up).

Is there is anything apart from what I have tried

Yes, you have use the interceptors in the different order. The order is important when invoking an interceptor's chain during action invocation. Because interceptors might be dependent on execution of each other. If you set modelDriven interceptor after the basicStack some interceptors like params which is included in this stack might not work.
Also you are included params interceptor twice. And it will be executed twice, worse it does it before the model is pushed on the valueStack. So, the HTTP parameters might not be set to the model because model driven action requires the model being pushed to the value stack before params interceptor is invoked.

Title: Cops Force K9 to Maul Innocent Sleeping Blind Man in His Own Home
Source: Free Thought Project
URL Source: https://thefreethoughtproject.com/i ... -blind-man-attacked-police-k9/
Author: Matt Agorist
Post Date: 2019-11-30 03:08:15 by Deckard
Mount Washington, PA — On that fateful night back in June 2017, Robert Aldred had committed no crime, had harmed no one and was asleep in his own home. Despite being entirely innocent, militarized cops with a blood thirsty K9 broke into his home, went into his bedroom, and savagely attacked this innocent man, who is also legally blind.
Now, after filing a lawsuit against the city for the abuse, the city is issuing him an insultingly low settlement that Aldred says doesn't even cover his medical bills.
The fact that police felt it necessary to force their K9 to attack a naked blind man as he slept is bad enough, but the ridiculous settlement makes it that much worse.
"It was extremely traumatic," Mr. Aldred said Wednesday at a news conference. "It was the police department. They're here to protect and serve."
Sadly, protection and service were nothing close to what Aldred received on the night of June 23, 2017.
As the Post-Gazette reports:
The night of the incident, Mr. Aldred got off work and went to a lounge in Downtown with a couple of friends before returning to his apartment about 12:30 a.m. When he got home, he noticed that the front screen door was broken, but the door remained intact. He went to his third-story apartment and fell asleep.
Pittsburgh police officers Logan Hanley, Joshua Matthews and Michael Soroczak responded after an anonymous neighbor called 911 to report a burglary was taking place at Mr. Aldred's home. The officers entered the residence with a K-9 and made their way up to Mr. Aldred's room.
Mr. Aldred, who didn't hear police enter the residence, woke up when the officers came into his room. He said he was unarmed and naked, and he was confused why they were in his room.
Instead of realizing they had just startled a sleeping blind man in his own bedroom, police escalated force and unleashed their K9. According to the lawsuit, officer Hanley was the dog's handler who encouraged his hell hound to continue to attack the harmless naked blind man.
As Aldred raised his arm to shield his face from the dog's bites, the dog latched onto his arm and began shredding it. The K9 also tore into the innocent blind man's leg as well. After they finally pried the dog from the screaming and bloodied man, instead of immediately administering first aid, officers handcuffed the naked blind man, put sweat pants on him and hauled him outside to question him further.
Mr. Aldred, who was "hysterical, crying and still bleeding profusely," the lawsuit said, told the officers that he lived in the residence, but they continued to question him. Around 2:00 a.m., Aldred's roommate comes home to the chaos, after Aldred had been handcuffed and bleeding for well over an hour. He tells the cops that the innocent blind man does indeed live in the residence and they finally removed the handcuffs. An unidentified officer then asks Aldred if he needs to go to the hospital.
"Mr. Aldred told the officer that he absolutely needed to go to an emergency room because he was still bleeding profusely and in excruciating pain from the attack," the lawsuit said.
Aldred said his medical bills from that night were over $10,000 and police paid for none of it. The innocent blind man was never charged with a crime.
"Mr. Aldred will never be the same," said Todd Hollis, Mr. Aldred's attorney. "And the fact that this happened in his own home, I'm certain it will have lasting consequences."
Indeed, it already has. According to Aldred, his neighbors were so scared of police doing this to them, that they all moved away.
Mr. Adlred's case is a perfect example of why TFTP exists. When police can break into an innocent blind man's home, based on an anonymous call, force their K9 to shred his flesh, never say so much as "I'm sorry," and then pass their liability on to the taxpayer, something has gone seriously wrong. If we the people do not speak out about the increasingly unaccountable and violent nature of police in America, by the time most people realize it is going on, it will be too late.

Blind Mount Washington man settles civil suit for Pittsburgh police dog bite for $16,000
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A Mount Washington man is poised to receive $16,000 after he settled a lawsuit against the city and several officers for a June 2017 incident in which he was bitten by a K-9 when police entered his residence in the middle of the night.
City Council must approve the payment to Robert Aldred, 35.
The lawsuit, first filed in September in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court and later moved to U.S. District Court, was connected to an incident that occurred in the overnight hours between June 23 and 24, 2017, at Mr. Aldred's residence on Norton Street.
Mr. Aldred is legally blind and takes several medications. The lawsuit claimed that the responding officers were negligent and used excessive force, among other allegations.
None of the officers "had either reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe that Mr. Aldred had committed a serious or violent crime, or that he was about to flee," the lawsuit said.
Officer Hanley, who was the K-9's handler, unleashed the German shepherd and encouraged it to attack Mr. Aldred, according to the lawsuit. Mr. Aldred said he raised his right arm to shield his face, and the K-9 bit his forearm. The dog also bit Mr. Aldred's right thigh.
Mr. Aldred told the officers that he lived in the house and begged them to stop the K-9's attack. After the attack ended, the lawsuit said the officers placed Mr. Aldred in handcuffs and told him that they needed to question him further. The officers put a pair of track pants on Mr. Aldred and walked him out to the front porch of the home.
Mr. Aldred, who was "hysterical, crying and still bleeding profusely," the lawsuit said, told the officers that he lived in the residence, but they continued to question him.
About 2 a.m., Mr. Aldred's roommate, Joshua Chebatoris, arrived and confirmed that Mr. Aldred lived there, the lawsuit said. One of the officers, who was not identified, took Mr. Aldred's handcuffs off and asked him if he needed to go to a hospital.
Mr. Aldred was taken to UPMC Mercy, where his arm was treated with gauze to stop the bleeding. He was prescribed antibiotics and painkillers.
Mr. Aldred said his medical bills will be at least $10,000. He was never charged or cited with any crime.
Included among those named in the lawsuit, which was settled outside of court, were all three responding officers and the city.
Mr. Aldred said the incident caused him severe emotional distress in addition to the physical pain.

If the guy was laying down he was not physically threatening to the cops.
If he was naked they could see he was unarmed.
Why, then, did the officer release the dog?

    }
}

Now I get another error which is below:

I tried to duplicate this on a different laptop, and I don't see a problem there.
Is this a directory level permission issue on this particular laptop where I created the app? Appreciate anyone can shed some light on this to fix this.
UPDATE 11/9/2014
I did some further debugging and found that the applications works fine with no authentication and Windows Authentication. When the authentication is forms, I see this problem happening. As you see in the IntelliTrace, the GET request is looping back to Account/Login multiple times and finally give with a 404.15 error. I added a authorization section in the web.config to allow all users to access the resources with , I still see the errors.
I see a major difference between how my laptop and the surface pro 2 behaving with the same application. In my surface pro 2, the home page is displayed and the redirect to account/login never happens. But in the laptop the redirection is happening to account/login.
There are tables in the surface pro 2 created by the asp.net identity. But in my laptop there are no tables. I believe when the application starts, there is no requirement for the tables and the control should go to the home page.
I hope anyone can provide an answer with my additional info.

A: At first sight looking at the requestedUrl it may be the case that you are always redirecting to the same page (the login page) which creates an infinite redirect loop until the request url becomes too long: Since there is no code I can't be sure about it but I would suggest you to check your redirect url. The authentication appears just because you outcommented the ConfigureAuth method but I don't think it will solve the problem.

This Day in History – September 17 – Hijinx, Humor, and Insight
15 September 2020 by Gary Jenneke
NewsWhistle is pleased to feature Gary Jenneke's "This Day In History" column.
You can read the original at Gary's THIS DAY IN HISTORY blog — or scroll down to enjoy Gary's unique look at life's comings and goings.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY… SEPTEMBER 17
1819 – First whaling ships arrive in Hawaii.
The islands' first arrivals came from the Marquesas Islands via canoes around 400 A.D. Thirteen hundred years later, paradise was exposed when Captain Cook "discovered" them. Whale oil was in high demand at the time, and the ocean around the Hawaiian Islands was fertile feeding grounds for sperm and humpback whales. Two whaling ships from the east coast of the U.S. arrived and life in the islands was changed forever. The islands provided food and water and in return received liquor, disease, and missionaries. A way of life was eradicated and replaced with capitalism and religion.
And we know who got the poopy end of that stick.
1961 – Minnesota Vikings first game.
A National Football League expansion team, the Vikings played their first game against the heavily favored Chicago Bears. To everybody's surprise, they scored a 31-13 victory. Rookie quarterback Fran Tarkenton came of the bench to throw four touchdown passes and ran for another. The Vikings would finish the season with a record of 3-11.
Even though an avid sports fan, I felt little excitement at the team's thrilling initial victory. I was a week and a half away from enlisting in the Navy at the time and that must have been weighing heavily on my mind. Sports seemed unimportant, insignificant. That's some profound insight I should have held onto as I later watched the Vikings lose four Super Bowls.
1978 – Camp David Accords signed.
President Jimmy Carter brokered a treaty between Israel and Egypt. Held at presidential retreat Camp David, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin signed the accord. It led to a peace treaty between the two nations and also resulted in Sadat and Begin sharing the Nobel Peace Prize for that year. It was hoped the accord would lead to a lasting peace between Israel and its neighbors.
No such luck, as history has shown.
Birthdays:
879 – Charles the Simple.
Also known as Charles the Straightforward, he was king of West Francia from 898 to 922. One of his notable achievements was negotiating with Rollo, of an invading Viking army that had besieged Paris, resulting in a treaty. Disgruntled nobles, frustrated by some of his policies, forced him from office and he died in prison in 929. Also of interest, his father was Louis the Stammerer, and he had a cousin called Charles the Fat.
I have to wonder about these rather descriptive, and indelicate, names bestowed upon the leaders of past eras. Was everybody aware of them other than the person themselves? Did people go around whispering the names in malicious delight? I don't suppose it would have been proper for someone in the royal court to bounce up to the king and say, "Hey, Simple, my man, how goes the kingdom today?"
1883 – William Carlos Williams.
Poet and doctor. Williams treated patients by day and wrote at night. From Wikipedia: "Williams sought to invent an entirely fresh and uniquely American form of poetry whose subject matter centered on everyday circumstances of life and the lives of common people." Williams had a deep sense of humanity that he brought both to his role as a doctor, and as a poet. Later in life he was a mentor to those of the Beat Generation, including Allen Ginsberg. He was the poetry consultant to the Library of Congress, but, because of his socialist leanings, was removed from that position during the McCarthyism era of the 1950s. Williams was stricken with a series of strokes until his death in 1963. Later that year he was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry.
To my loss I've never been much for reading poetry. Although something I have just discovered is that if I read it out loud I achieve more meaning from it. Perhaps I'll read William Carlos Williams out loud to myself.
1923 – Hank Williams.
Country western singer. Despite dying tragically of his addictions at age twenty-nine, he left a legacy of country western hits that endure to this day. "Cold Cold Heart," "Hey, Good Lookin," "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry," "Your Cheatin Heart," and many, many more. His contribution to American music stands the test of time.
Did you ever see a night so slow
As time goes draggin' by
The moon just went behind the clouds /
To hide its face and cry /
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

The Annotated Gawker Legal Threat: What Fox News Lawyers Fired Off at Their 'Mole' Problem
Well, it wasn't long, but Gawker's Fox News Mole, Joe Muto, was nabbed. Meanwhile, sometime after Fox News chief Roger
By Foster Kamer • 04/12/12 5:45pm
Well, it wasn't long, but Gawker's Fox News Mole, Joe Muto, was nabbed. Meanwhile, sometime after Fox News chief Roger Ailes joked to the New York Times' David Carr about the incident ("'I am the Fox Mole,' he told me, then quickly added. 'Who cares? We have nothing to hide.'") Roger Ailes and Fox News demonstrated just how much they care. By sending to Gawker a vague legal threat with the clear aim of scaring the blog posts back into Muto's id, where they will never emerge from again.
Naturally, Gawker published that legal threat (alongside an old picture of Bill O'Reilly with topless women, of course). Entertaining as it is, we've taken the liberty of annotating the best parts of Fox's legal letter to Gawker, right here:
1. Yeah, right. Adorable! But basically a sign that says—to Gawker, at least—"DON'T FORGET TO PUBLISH." These notices hold absolutely no legal bearing, and in the event the law firm would attempt to prove malice on the part of the publisher of said legal threat letter (Gawker), all Gawker has to prove is that the letter is newsworthy. If that. Judging by the six-digit counts on each of Gawker's Fox Mole posts, one could reasonably assert that this letter is, in fact, newsworthy.
2. Ronald M. Green, Litigious Legal Machine. If Ronald M. Green sounds familiar to followers of Fox's media troubles—or the troubles of Powerful Men in Media—he is! Green's page for the firm lists (boasts?) of his association to Bill O'Reilly as legal representation. What it doesn't note: Some of the cases Green has worked on for O'Reilly, including but not limited to the sexual harassment claim a producer filed against O'Reilly, which was settled out of court before the world got to hear the evidence in the case. He also represented Cablevision/MSG chairman James L. Dolan and The Garden in a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by former Knicks executive Anucha Browne Sanders after she claiming she had been sexually harassed. A jury found in her favor to the tune of $11.5M, $3M of which came out of Dolan's pockets. Also noted on Green's bio page from his firm? A position he wrote for The New York Law Journal entitled "The Employer's 'Sue First' Strategy: In high stakes litigation, 'preemptive strike' has produced results." If you thought Fox News was calling up My Cousin Vinny from the bullpen, think again: Green is their "Lights Out" guy, and he will no doubt take this thing to some inevitable conclusion. Don't place your bets yet, though: Handicapping odds is contingent upon on what further action he has planned, if any. Then we'll open the pool.
3. Covered Bases. The funny thing about legal threats is how many copies you end up getting. New York City's bike messengers owe the litigious lawyers of their fair city a debt of gratitude for giving them, like, half their business.
4 and 5. Scare Quotes. In legal paperwork, scare quotes are often used to precede the paraphrasing of a term throughout the rest of the brief; this isn't that. This is just a funny use of scare quotes.
6. 'Likely.' As in, "we haven't yet figured out exactly what about this is illegal, but it's surely something" or "probably, so you should be scared." Pretty standard.
7. 'Should.' As in, "this isn't actually a cease and desist, though we're going to vaguely allude to some sense of obligation, whether or not there's a law against it." Pretty standard.
8. Niceties. These are always enjoyable to read; they always act as amusingly macabre punctuation points, like someone telling you to watch your shirt for blood immediately after having stabbed you in the gut.
In other words, get out the popcorn: This has nowhere to go but up.

Seventeen Minutes to Baker Street (Sherlock Holmes and the American Literati Book 3)
Author Name: Daniel D. Victor
Sherlock Holmes had never met a writer who had ridiculed him as bitterly as Samuel L. Clemens had. For that matter, Holmes had never met a writer who fancied himself a detective. Yet Sam Clemens not only unraveled Holmes' investigation into the murder of the hot-blooded woman on Thor Bridge, but also, while writing as Mark Twain, belittled Holmes' highly-touted detecting skills. In this recently discovered narrative, Doctor Watson sets the record straight. He reveals other crimes related to the original murder while relating what prompted Clemens in a 1902 short story to deride the famous detective. Spurred on by such criticism, as well as by clues discovered in a classic tale by Bret Harte, Sherlock Holmes begins a new investigation, one that leads Holmes and Watson from the gardens of Windsor Castle to the spires of Oxford University in their efforts to track down a deranged assassin bent on wreaking even more havoc.

Punters team up to release charity Christmas single
Ruth Scammell 5th December 2019
A group of punters at a Lincoln pub have written and recorded a Christmas song to raise money for local charities.
The team at Plough Boy have produced a song called Santa Flaws. It is available to buy on CD at a cost of £5, with money going to St Barnabas Hospice and Let Them Eat Cake, which are both Lincoln charities.
Everything on the single has been done within five miles of the pub. It is available for sale at the pub as well as at the town's local record shop, in the local theatre and at two other pubs.
Landlord Ian Ray said: "This has never been done before anywhere at a pub, to my knowledge.
"With everything that's going on, everybody needed a little bit of a lift. The song is about Santa getting drunk. It's about somebody having a good time. It's uplifting.
"We've sold about 70 so far so people have been quite receptive to it. But we want to sell more. We want to get as much money as possible for the two charities."
The song was written by Kev Hackney, with music written by Nigel Davies and performed by a group of six punters who called themselves The Ploughers.

Q: XSLT deepening content structure given the following structure:
<TITEL1>...</TITEL1>

..

<TITEL2>...</TITEL2>
<TITEL3>...</TITEL3>
<TITEL3>...</TITEL3>

...

is there a way to get to this:
<TITEL1>
    <TITEL>...</TITEL>

...

    <TITEL2>
        <TITEL>...</TITEL>
        <TITEL3>
            <TITEL>...</TITEL>

...

        </TITEL3>
        <TITEL3>
            <TITEL>...</TITEL>

...

        </TITEL3>
    </TITEL2>
</TITEL1>

or in other words,is there a way to have higher level titels inclose lower level titels and all content that follows them, thus creating a nested structure. The content of each TITEL1,2 and 3 tag should go into a new <TITEL>-element

A: There isn't a particularly eligant way of doing what you want. It's (probably) possible, but it would involve some pretty ugly (and slow) XPath queries using the following-sibling axis with filters on the preceding-sibling axis matching back to the current node.
If it's at all a possibility, I would recommend creating the hierarchy outside of XSLT (in C#, Java, etc)
If you choose to go down the scary path, you would be looking to do something like this (untested):
<xsl:template match="TITEL1">
  <TITEL1>
    <xsl:apply-templates
      select="following-sibling::(p|TITEL2)[(preceding-sibling::TITEL1)[1]=.]" />
  </TITEL1>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="TITEL2">
  <TITEL1>
    <xsl:apply-templates
      select="following-sibling::(p|TITEL3)[(preceding-sibling::TITEL2)[1]=.]" />
  </TITEL1>
</xsl:template>

...

This is only an example, and I can already see problems with the match. Coming up with the final XPath query would be quite involved, if it's actually possible at all.

A: With XSLT 2.0 (as implemented by Saxon 9 or AltovaXML tools) you can use xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with and a recursive function:
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="2.0"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:mf="http://example.com/2010/mf"
  exclude-result-prefixes="xsd mf">

  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:function name="mf:nest" as="element()*">
    <xsl:param name="elements" as="element()*"/>
    <xsl:param name="level" as="xsd:integer"/>
    <xsl:for-each-group select="$elements" group-starting-with="*[starts-with(local-name(), concat('TITEL', $level))]">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="self::*[starts-with(local-name(), concat('TITEL', $level))]">
          <xsl:element name="TITEL{$level}">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
            <xsl:sequence select="mf:nest(current-group() except ., $level + 1)"/>
          </xsl:element>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
  </xsl:function>

  <xsl:template match="ROOT">
    <xsl:sequence select="mf:nest(*, 1)"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'TITEL')]">
    <TITEL>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </TITEL>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

With that stylesheet the input
<ROOT>
<TITEL1>Titel 1, 1</TITEL1>

..

<TITEL2>Titel 2, 1</TITEL2>
<TITEL3>Titel 3, 1</TITEL3>
<TITEL3>Titel 3, 2</TITEL3>

...

</ROOT>

is transformed to the output
<TITEL1>
   <TITEL>Titel 1, 1</TITEL>

..

   <TITEL2>
      <TITEL>Titel 2, 1</TITEL>
      <TITEL3>
         <TITEL>Titel 3, 1</TITEL>
      </TITEL3>
      <TITEL3>
         <TITEL>Titel 3, 2</TITEL>

...

      </TITEL3>
   </TITEL2>
</TITEL1>

A: If you can't use XSLT 2.0, here is an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet that should produce the same result as the XSLT 2.0 stylesheet I posted earlier:
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="1.0">

  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="ROOT">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*[1]" mode="nest">
      <xsl:with-param name="level" select="1"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'TITEL')]" mode="nest">
    <xsl:param name="level"/>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$level = substring-after(local-name(), 'TITEL')">
        <xsl:element name="TITEL{$level}">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][not(starts-with(local-name(), concat('TITEL', $level)))]" mode="nest">
            <xsl:with-param name="level" select="$level"/>
          </xsl:apply-templates>
        </xsl:element>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[starts-with(local-name(), concat('TITEL', $level))][1]" mode="nest">
          <xsl:with-param name="level" select="$level"/>
        </xsl:apply-templates>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="nest">
          <xsl:with-param name="level" select="$level + 1"/>
        </xsl:apply-templates>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*[not(starts-with(local-name(), 'TITEL'))]" mode="nest">
    <xsl:param name="level"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][not(starts-with(local-name(), concat('TITEL', $level)))]" mode="nest">
      <xsl:with-param name="level" select="$level"/>

Analysis Government LNG Natural Gas Pipelines Regulatory
Cabinet Appointment A Positive Sign For Natural Gas Industry In Alberta?
By Richard Macedo
Friday, May 3, 2019, 6 AM MDT
As is usual for any new cabinet, the choice for Alberta's energy minister captures the oil and gas industry's attention.
But this time, the incoming government included a new wrinkle: the appointment of an Associate Minister of Natural Gas. Dale Nally, the MLA for Morinville-St. Albert, will take on this role. It's a positive sign the province intends to focus on an important sector of the industry that has been largely neglected by governments of the recent past.
For example, in its annual budget tabled in April 2016, the former NDP government listed a range of "priority areas" for climate change funding, but natural gas was not on this list, and was missing from budget documents outlining the NDP's environmental plan at the time.
"It is troubling that the major role natural gas can play in the phase out of coal seems to be missing from the government's lexicon when talking about their climate leadership agenda," Gary Leach, former president of the Explorers and Producers Association of Canada (EPAC), said at the time. "Natural gas is clean, abundant and cheap, and using more of it here in Alberta is an important demand driver for our producers, especially when we are being shut out of other markets by cheap gas and high transportation costs."
The previous Progressive Conservative government was no better at focusing its attention on an ailing natural gas industry, as it predicted a "gusher" of revenue from the oilsands.
"It's now about half of the gaming revenue. It's sad," former PC Finance Minister Ron Liepert said in 2012, when discussing the drop in natural gas revenue. "I don't think there's anything that we as a province can do.
"We've been working with industry on a natural gas strategy. I think clearly, though, if we can get a number of these projects that are proposed to get LNG to the West Coast, it's going to bring up the bar.
"If we can start to get international prices to show that there's other demand for our product out there, I think the North American prices are going to float up, but we're not seeing any real significant gain in the next three years."
Over three years into its mandate, the NDP finally focused on the beleaguered natural gas industry, which is also receiving heavily discounted prices when compared to the U.S. industry.
Although Alberta's abundant, world-class natural gas resources can provide economic opportunities for generations of Albertans and Canadians into the future, "urgent action is required now to ensure Alberta capitalizes on this legacy," the province's natural gas advisory panel warned in a report, noting several opportunities to reverse the decline.
One of the most effective actions to "grow the pie" is securing a second world-class West Coast LNG project that achieves its final investment decision by December 2020, said the panel. To expedite large-scale, long-term LNG projects, it recommended strong co-operation and alignment between the Alberta and British Columbia governments.
Whether Alberta's new UCP government can set differences aside with B.C. to work on an integrated LNG strategy remains to be seen, given the strife on the Trans Mountain file which heated up this week.
As Vince Lauerman recently noted, the UCP as much as admitted that its natural gas strategy is a work in progress in its official election campaign document where the party stated "plans to develop a strong natural gas strategy," and that is a good thing. This leaves lots of room for new ideas and creative policymaking, especially as the little that is there is of dubious value for opening markets, he noted.
Two areas the government should focus on in Alberta in the short term, as noted by the natgas advisory panel, include the need to address pipeline constraints and regulatory delays.
Alberta's existing gas transmission infrastructure "is stressed to capacity as a result of a massive shift in production from mature southeast Alberta plays to the Montney and Deep Basin plays of northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia," the natgas panel, appointed by the NDP, noted.
In addition, lengthy federal and provincial regulatory and bureaucratic processes are a major impediment to the future success of Alberta's natural gas industry — addressing this should be a clear priority for the new Alberta government.
Given the foregoing, the appointment of a specific portfolio for natural gas is a positive sign the new government intends to make this industry a focus from the opening bell of its mandate. Time — and specific policy — will dictate whether this is the case.

Emma Stone Bio
Emma Stone (born November 6, 1988 as Emily Jean Stone) is an American actress. The recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and a Golden Globe Award, she was the highest-paid actress in the world in 2017. Stone has appeared in Forbes Celebrity 100 in 2013 and 2017, and was featured by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Stone began acting as a child, in a theater production of The Wind in the Willows in 2000. As a teenager, she relocated to Los Angeles with her mother, and made her television debut in In Search of the New Partridge Family (2004), a reality show that produced only an unsold pilot. After small television roles, she made her film debut in Superbad(2007), and received positive media attention for her role in Zombieland (2009). The 2010 teen comedy Easy A was Stone's first starring role, earning her nominations for the BAFTA Rising Star Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. This breakthrough was followed with further success in the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) and the drama The Help (2011).
Stone gained wider recognition as Gwen Stacy in the 2012 superhero film The Amazing Spider-Man, and its 2014 sequel. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing a recovering drug addict in the black comedy Birdman (2014). Her Broadway debut came in a revival of the musical Cabaret (2014–2015). She won an Academy Award for Best Actress for playing an aspiring actress in the romantic musical film La La Land (2016) and went on to portray Billie Jean King in the biographical sports film Battle of the Sexes (2017) and Abigail Masham in the historical drama The Favourite (2018). Also in 2018, she starred in the Netflix dark comedy miniseries Maniac.
Early career (2004–2008)
When Stone registered for the Screen Actors Guild, the name "Emily Stone" was already taken. She initially chose to go by "Riley Stone", but after guest-starring in the NBC drama Medium and the Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, she decided that she was more comfortable with "Emma". She chose to use "Emma" in honor of Emma Bunton, aka Baby Spice from the Spice Girls. She made her television debut as Laurie Partridge on the VH1 talent competition reality show In Search of the New Partridge Family (2004). The resulting show, retitled The New Partridge Family (2004), remained an unsold pilot. She followed this with a guest appearance in Louis C.K.'s HBO series Lucky Louie. She auditioned to star as Claire Bennet in the NBC science fiction drama Heroes (2007) but was unsuccessful and later called this her "rock bottom" experience. In April 2007, she played Violet Trimble in the Fox action drama Drive, but the show was canceled after seven episodes.
Stone made her feature film debut in Greg Mottola's comedy Superbad (2007), co-starring Michael Cera and Jonah Hill. The film tells the story of two high school students who go through a series of comic misadventures after they plan to buy alcohol for a party. To play the role of Hill's romantic interest, she dyed her hair red. A reviewer for The Hollywood Reporter found her "appealing", but felt that her role was poorly written. Stone has described the experience of acting in her first film as "amazing … [but] very different than other experiences I've had since then". The film was a commercial success, and earned her the Young Hollywood Award for Exciting New Face.
The following year, Stone starred in the comedy The Rocker (2008) playing Amelia Stone, the "straight face" bass guitarist in a band; she learned to play the bass for the role. The actress, who describes herself as "a big smiler and laugher", has admitted that she found it difficult portraying a character whose personality traits were so different from her own. The film, and her performance, received negative reviews from critics and was a commercial failure. Her next release, the romantic comedy House Bunny page'>The House Bunny, performed better at the box-office, becoming a moderate commercial success. The film sees her play the president of a sorority, and perform a cover version of the Waitresses' 1982 song "I Know What Boys Like". Reviews for the film were generally negative, though she was praised for her supporting role, and TV Guide's Ken Fox wrote of Stone that: "She's positively incandescent, lighting up a movie that would be pretty dim without her."
Breakthrough (2009–2011)
Stone appeared in three films released in 2009. The first of these was opposite Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner and Michael Douglas in Mark Waters' Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Loosely based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, the romantic comedy has her playing a ghost who haunts her former boyfriend. Critical reaction to the film was negative, though it was a modest commercial success. Her most financially profitable venture that year was Ruben Fleischer's $102.3 million-grossing horror comedy film Zombieland, in which she features alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin. In the film, she appeared as a con artist and survivor of a zombie apocalypse, in a role which Empire's Chris Hewitt found to be "somewhat underwritten". In a more positive review, the critic for The Daily Telegraph wrote: "[T]he hugely promising Stone … [is] a tough cookie who projects the aura of being wiser than her years." Stone's final release in 2009 was Kieran and Michelle Mulroney's Paper Man, a comedy-drama which disappointed critics.
Stone provided the voice of an Australian Shepherd in Marmaduke (2010), a comedy from director Tom Dey, which is based on Brad Anderson's long-running comic strip of the same name. Her breakthrough came the same year with a starring role in Easy A page'>Easy A, a teen comedy directed by Will Gluck. Partially based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 historical romance novel The Scarlet Letter, the film tells the story of Olive Penderghast (Stone), a high school student who becomes embroiled in a comic sex scandal after a false rumor circulates that she is sexually promiscuous. Stone read the script before the project was optioned for production, and pursued it with her manager while production details were being finalized. She found the script "so different and unique from anything I'd read before", saying that it was "funny and sweet". When Stone discovered that the film had begun production, she met with Gluck, expressing her enthusiasm for the project. A few months later, the audition process started and she met again with Gluck, becoming one of the first actresses to audition. The film received positive critical reviews, and Stone's performance was considered its prime asset.Anna Smith of Time Out commented: "Stone gives a terrific performance, her knowing drawl implying intellect and indifference with underlying warmth." With a total box office of $75 million, the film was a commercial success. Stone was nominated for a BAFTA Rising Star Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, and won the MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance.
In October 2010, Stone hosted an episode of NBC's late-night sketch comedy Saturday Night Live; her appearances included a sketch playing off her resemblance to Lindsay Lohan. Stone described it as "the greatest week of my life".She hosted it again in 2011, appeared in an episode in 2014, and in its 40th anniversary special in 2015. A brief appearance in the sex comedy Friends with Benefits page'>Friends with Benefits (2011) reunited her with Gluck. She followed this with a supporting role in Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) alongside Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Julianne Moore. The film features her as a law school graduate, and the love interest of Gosling's character. Despite finding "some inevitable collapses into convention" in the film, Drew McWeeny of HitFix wrote that Stone "ties the whole film together". At the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, she won the Choice Movie Actress – Comedy award for her performance in the film. Crazy, Stupid, Love was a box office success, grossing $142.9 million worldwide with a production budget of $50 million.
Disillusioned at being typecast as the "sarcastic interest of the guy", Stone co-starred with Viola Davis in Tate Taylor's period drama The Help (2011), a film she found to be challenging. The film is based on Kathryn Stockett's 2009 novel of the same name and is set in 1960s Jackson, Mississippi. She met with Taylor to express a desire to work in the film. Taylor has said: "Emma was completely awkward and dorky, with her raspy voice, and she sat down and we got a little intoxicated and had a blast, and I just thought, 'God! God! This is Skeeter." She was cast as Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, an aspiring writer learning about the lives of the African-American maids. In preparation for the part, she trained to speak in a Southern dialect; she also educated herself on the Civil Rights Movement through literature and film. With a worldwide gross of $216 million against a budget of $25 million, The Help became Stone's most commercially successful film to that point. The film, and her performance, received positive reviews from critics. Writing for Empire, Anna Smith thought that Stone was "well-meaning and hugely likable" despite finding flaws in the character. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, and won Best Ensemble Cast from the Women Film Critics Circle and the Broadcast Film Critics Association.
The Amazing Spider-Man, Birdman, and Broadway (2012–2015)
Stone declined a role in the action comedy film 21 Jump Street after signing on to Marc Webb's 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man, a reboot of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man series. She portrayed Gwen Stacy, the love interest of the title character (played by Andrew Garfield). Stone returned to a blond hair color for the role, having dyed it red previously. She told The Vancouver Sun that she felt responsible to educate herself about Spider-Man and admitted that she had not read the comics: "My experience was with the Sam Raimi movies … I always assumed that Mary Jane was his first love", adding that she was only familiar with Stacy's character from Dallas Howard page'>Bryce Dallas Howard's portrayal in Spider-Man 3. The Amazing Spider-Man was a commercial success and was the seventh highest-grossing film of 2012 with global revenues of $757.9 million. Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum found Stone "irresistible", and Ian Freer of Empire magazine was particularly impressed with Stone's and Garfield's performances. At the annual People's Choice Awards ceremony, she was nominated for three awards, including Favorite Movie Actress. Later that year, Stone voiced a role in the crime-based video game, Sleeping Dogs, which earned her a Spike Video Game Award for Best Performance by a Human Female nomination.
Stone began 2013 with a voice role in DreamWorks' The Croods, an animated feature nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. This followed with an appearance in Movie 43, an anthology film which consists of sixteen short stories—she played the title role in the segment entitled "Veronica". The actress collaborated with Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn in Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad (2013), a crime thriller set in Los Angeles during the 1940s.The New York Times' A. O. Scott dismissed the film as "a hectic jumble of fedoras and zoot suits", but praised her pairing with Gosling. Stone expressed a desire to work with Gosling on more projects.
In 2014, Stone reprised the role of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. In an interview with Total Film, the actress explained that her character was not dependent on the film's protagonist. "She saves him more than he saves her. She's incredibly helpful to Spider-Man … He's the muscle, she's the brains." Her performance was well received by critics; an Empire reviewer praised her for standing out in the film: "Stone is the Heath Ledger of this series, doing something unexpected with an easily dismissed supporting character." The role earned her the Favorite Movie Actress award at the 2015 Kids' Choice Awards. Later that year, Stone took on a role in Woody Allen's romantic comedy Magic in the Moonlight, a modest commercial success. A. O. Scott criticized her role, and pairing with Colin Firth, describing it as "the kind of pedantic nonsense that is meant to signify superior intellect".
The black comedy-drama Birdman, from director Alejandro González Iñárritu, was Stone's final film release in 2014. Co-starring Michael Keaton and Edward Norton, the film features her in the role of Sam Thomson, the recovering-addict daughter of actor Riggan Thomson (Keaton), who becomes his assistant. Iñárritu created the character based on his experience with his daughter. Birdman was critically acclaimed, and was the most successful film at the 87th Academy Awards; it was nominated for nine awards, winning four, including Best Picture. The Movie Network considered it one of Stone's best performances to date and Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph was impressed with a monologue she delivers, which he thought was "like a knitting needle to the gut". She received numerous accolades for her portrayal, including nominations for an Academy, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild, and a Critics' Choice Movie award for Best Supporting Actress.
From November 2014 to February 2015, Stone starred in a revival of the Broadway musical Cabaret as Sally Bowles, taking over the role from Michelle Williams. Considering it to be "the most nerve-racking thing ever", Stone told the Entertainment Weekly magazine that she listened to a French radio station to mentally prepare herself for the role. Variety's Marilyn Stasio was critical of her singing and found her performance "a bit narrow as an emotional platform, but a smart choice for her acting skills, the perfect fit for her sharp intelligence and kinetic energy." Both of Stone's 2015 films—the romantic comedy-drama Aloha, and the mystery drama Irrational Man—were critical and commercial failures, and her roles were panned by critics. In Cameron Crowe's Aloha, she took on the role of an Asian-American air force pilot alongside Bradley Cooper, and in the Woody Allen-directed Irrational Man, she portrayed the romantic interest of Joaquin Phoenix's character, a philosophy professor. The former was controversial for whitewashing the cast; Stone later regretted the project, acknowledging whitewashing as a widespread problem in Hollywood. Despite the criticism, she was nominated for Choice Movie Actress – Comedy at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.
La La Land and beyond (2016–present)
During her Cabaret show, Stone met director Damien Chazelle, who, impressed with her performance, cast her in his musical comedy-drama La La Land. The project, which marked her third collaboration with Gosling, featured Stone as Mia Dolan, an aspiring actress living in Los Angeles. Stone borrowed several real-life experiences for her character, and in preparation, watched The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. For the musical's soundtrack, she recorded six songs. La La Land served as the opening film at the 2016 Venice Film Festival, and received highly positive reviews. Besides being Stone's highest-rated film on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film was successful at the box office, earning over $440 million against its $30 million budget. Writing for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw reviewed, "Stone has never been better: superbly smart, witty, vulnerable, her huge doe eyes radiating intelligence even, or especially, when they are filling with tears." Stone received an Academy, BAFTA, Golden Globe and a SAG award for Best Actress.
Stone's sole film release of 2017 was the sports drama Battle of the Sexes, based on the 1973 eponymous match between tennis players Billie Jean King (Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell). In preparation, Stone met with King, watched old footage and interviews of her, trained with a dialect coach to speak in King's accent, and drank high-calorie protein shakes to gain 15 pounds (6.8 kg). The film premiered to positive reviews at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, and certain critics considered Stone's performance to be the best of her career. Benjamin Lee of The Guardian praised her for playing against type, and credited her for being "strong" and "convincing" in the part. Even so, the film earned less than its $25 million budget. Stone received her fourth Golden Globe nomination for it, and attended the ceremony with King.
In 2018, Stone and Rachel Weisz starred as Abigail Masham and Sarah Churchill, two cousins fighting for the affection of Queen Anne (Olivia Colman), in Yorgos Lanthimos's historical drama The Favourite. Stone found it challenging being an American among a British cast, and had difficulty in mastering the accent. The film premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival in August. Michael Nordine of IndieWire praised Stone for taking on a bold role after La La Land, and termed the three leading ladies "a majestic triumvirate in a period piece that's as tragic as it is hilarious." Stone received her fifth Golden Globe nomination for The Favourite, her second for Best Supporting Actress. That September, she featured in and served as an executive producer for the Netflix dark comedy miniseries Maniac, co-starring Jonah Hill and directed by Cary Fukunaga. Stone and Hill played two strangers, Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, whose lives are transformed due to a mysterious pharmaceutical trial. An admirer of Fukunaga's work, Stone agreed to the project without reading the script. Lucy Mangan of The Guardian praised Stone and Hill for playing against type and for delivering career-best performances; Judy Berman of Time was similarly impressed with their growth as actors since Superbad and took note of the complexity in their performances.
Stone will next star in a sequel to Zombieland, in the drama Love May Fail, based on Matthew Quick's 2015 novel, and in a live-action spin-off of One Hundred and One Dalmatians titled Cruella, directed by Craig Gillespie, in which she will portray Cruella de Vil (originally played by Glenn Close in the 1996 live-action adaptation).
Emma Stone (age: 30) is an American actress known for Superbad, Easy A, The Amazing Spider-Man, The House Bunny, Zombieland, La La Land, Battle of the Sexes, The Favourite and Netflix Maniac.

WHA invitation receives scrutiny
By: Matthew Strong, Taiwan News, Staff Writer
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Top government officials were said to be looking at an invitation to attend
The photo shows the office building of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Europe.
the World Health Assembly amid confusion about its request to respect the "One China Principle," reports said Saturday.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed Friday Taiwan had received news of an invite to the May 23-28 event in Geneva, Switzerland, after a long period in which it was feared no invitation would be coming due to Chinese opposition to President-elect Tsai Ing-wen, who will be sworn in on May 20.
The invitation from the World Health Organization was reportedly addressed to incumbent Health and Welfare Minister Chiang Been-huang, who will leave office before the WHA starts.
When asked by reporters about the letter Saturday, President Ma Ying-jeou said he was reading it. The Presidential Office said it would forward the invitation to the new government.
The Mainland Affairs Council reportedly condemned China's demand, saying the only China it recognized was the Republic of China, Taiwan's official name. Taiwan had never acknowledged the People's Republic of China as the one and only China, the MAC said. [FULL STORY]

Q: Subset shape-matching of Typescript doesnt work properly As you know one of the TypeScript's core principles is that type checking focuses on the shape that values have, this is sometimes called duck typing or structural typing. Also the shape-matching only requires a subset of the object's fields to match.
For example, following code is totally acceptable for Typescript:
interface Point {
  x: number;
  y: number;
}

function logPoint(p: Point) {
  console.log(`${p.x}, ${p.y}`);
}

const rect = { x: 33, y: 3, width: 30, height: 80 };
logPoint(rect); // logs "33, 3"

But if you call logPoint function directly with object literal, Typescript will warn you:
logPoint({ x: 33, y: 3, width: 30, height: 80 }); // error

So, what is the difference? Why subset type-mathcing works in first case and doesnt in second one?
Links:
Structural type system reference
First example
Second example

A: It's because typescript has two levels of strictness, depending on what you're trying to do.
When creating an explicitly-typed object, typescript does the strictest interpretation and does not all you to add any extra properties. Your second example is a case of this: In the context you're creating this object literal, the only possible type it could have is Point, but you're giving it extra properties and so typescript points out this is probably a mistake.
Another example of the stricter checking would be the following. I've explicitly said i'm creating a Point, but it's got extra stuff:
const rect: Point = { x: 33, y: 3, width: 30, height: 80 };

Your first example on the other hand doesn't get this extra strictness. The line of code that creates the object doesn't specify a type, so typescript automatically gives it the type { x: number, y: number, width: number, height: number }. Then later you pass this object into the function. Unlike when you create an object with a specific type, this case has typescript just compare whether the types are "compatible", and extra properties don't hurt that.

A: @jonrsharpe is right
It is called: excess property check

Object literals get special treatment and undergo excess property checking when assigning them to other variables, or passing them as arguments. If an object literal has any properties that the "target type" doesn't have, you'll get an error:

If you still want to use reference, there is a workaround:
interface Point {
  x: number;
  y: number;
}

type IsPoint<T> = T extends Point ? Point extends T ? T : never : never;

function logPoint<T>(p: IsPoint<T>) {
  console.log(`${p.x}, ${p.y}`);
}

const rect = { x: 33, y: 3, width: 30, height: 80 };
const rect2 = { x: 33, y: 3};

logPoint(rect); // error, because Point does not extends width and height props

logPoint(rect2) // ok

logPoint({ x: 33, y: 3, width: 30, height: 80 }); // error

Artificial intelligence is something that attracting the attention of a lot of bright minds around the world. Right now we don't know exactly how far they've gotten. Any steps forward are usually classified information, so we only get the news they want us to have. But some of their advances in this area are now public knowledge.
We know, for example, that they're applying artificial intelligence to many kinds of repetitive activities. Not too long from now robots will replace human beings in those jobs. That will be just the beginning of a coming revolution where evermore sophisticated devices will play the starring role.
We still aren't exactly sure how these changes will affect our culture. But what we do know is that just like new technology changes our daily life, new developments in artificial intelligence will also bring along huge changes. It is all much closer to happening that a lot of people think.
Antonio Orbe is a psychologist and expert in the topic of artificial intelligence. He published a book called "Una mirada al futuro" (Looking Toward the Future). What he tries to do in this book is describe what the world will be like in the short- and medium-term.
Putting aside his other thoughts, one thing he says for certain is that many jobs are going to disappear soon. The first consequence will be inequality. Some workers will be out of a job. It will take political, economic, and social means to address this new situation.
However, Orbes has an optimistic view of the whole thing. He says it's worth thinking about a new world where not everything focuses around work. Instead, leisure and recreation can start to play a bigger role. If that happened, we would start to do things to improve everyone's well-being through collaborative environments.
Orbe also says that this could lead to competition between technology and human beings. A large part of the developments in artificial intelligence will do the jobs that humans do now. But that wouldn't just apply to the working world, it would be for personal life too.
He talks about how it would be hard for human beings to adapt to new technologies. They'll happen very quickly, which means we'll need to be permanently adapting. This is something that actually happens successfully in a lot of individual cases.
But adaptation isn't so fast on a social level. Artificial intelligence moves forward like a rocket, while societies move forward at the speed of a bicycle. That might end up being a source of instability and some tension.
Orbes doesn't think much of the fear (which comes partly from science-fiction movies and partly from common sense), that robots will take control of everything. He says that we're still far from "general" artificial intelligence. That's the kind that can take any problem you give it and solve it on its own.
What we have right now is particular artificial intelligence. This kind of intelligence can only do specific tasks. It does them extremely well, but it can't go beyond them. Technological developments right now are focused on particular artificial intelligence. This is why artificial intelligence will start to take our place in many different kinds of jobs.
There's theoretically a high chance that artificial intelligence will become conscious. Basically that means that a machine might be able to replicate all of a human being's intellectual abilities. But considering where we are now, we're still quite far away from that happening.

North Carolina's 20-Week Abortion Ban Was Struck Down By A Federal Judge
By Caroline Burke
Mark Wilson/Getty Images News/Getty Images
On Tuesday, a U.S. federal court struck down North Carolina's 20-week abortion ban. The ban was overturned by U.S. District Judge William Osteen, and will take place in 60 days — unless the state appeals the decision. For now, though, the decision marks a huge win for the abortion rights groups in the area.
According to Reuters, three abortion rights groups filed the lawsuit against the ban: the Center for Reproductive Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Planned Parenthood. In a statement following the announcement of the ban being overturned, Genevieve Scott, an attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights said, via The Hill, "This ban is unconstitutional and ignores the unique circumstances, challenges, and potential complications pregnant women face. Politicians taking medical options off the table for women at any stage of pregnancy is irrational and dangerous."
Similarly, Attorney Irena Como for the ACLU of North Carolina said, via The Hill, "Important medical decisions throughout different points of a woman's pregnancy, including whether to have an abortion, must be left to the woman and her doctor – not politicians."
Per Reuters, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina attorney general said the office was reviewing the decision made by Osteen.
Following his decision, Osteen wrote, via The New York Times,
[A] state is never allowed to prohibit any swath of pre-viability abortions outright, no matter how strenuously it may believe that such a ban is in the best interests of its citizens or how minimal it may find the burden to women seeking an abortion.
Per CNN, Osteen added that his ruling "accords universally with those of other federal courts that have considered the constitutionality of twenty-week bans and similar week- or event-specific abortion bans."
Because of Osteen's decision, women will now be able to get an abortion in the state of North Carolina up until the point that a fetus is viable or able to live outside of the womb. And despite what some conservatives have argued about the heartbeat of a fetus defining viability, The Washington Post reports that the generally accepted age of viability for a fetus among experts is 24-28 weeks.
Additionally, Hal Lawrence, the Executive Vice President of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, is quoted by The Washington Post as saying in 2015, "In no way, shape or form is a 20-week fetus viable. There's no evidence of a 20-week fetus surviving, even with intensive medical care."

In an interview with The Washington Post, Andrew Beck, one of the ACLU lawyers who fought the ban, said that Osteen's decision was "just a reminder of what the law was," referencing Roe v. Wade. Beck added, "Politicians shouldn't be meddling with women's health in a way that's actually illegal. This decision puts the health and well-being [of women] front and center."
Though this might be an instance of a judge reinforcing Roe v. Wade as the law of the land, there are plenty of bills being pushed in conservative states in an active effort to destabilize Roe, simultaneously. Last week, Mississippi's governor signed a "heartbeat bill" into law, which aims to ban any abortion after a heartbeat is detected in the womb. This often takes place as early as six weeks into pregnancy. A number of these bills are being considered in other states; abortion rights groups have signaled their intent to challenge those bills in all instances.


Donald Trump has sabotaged, through criminal intent or incompetence or both, literally everything he's touched since he treasonously rigged his way into becoming the illegitimate "president" of the United States. He inherited a roaring Obama economy, but because Trump is a clueless egomaniac who couldn't leave well enough alone, he's now crushed the stock market with his idiotic trade war. Today he sent the market plummeting yet again, with a single idiotic tweet.
The trouble of course is that tariffs are not a tax on a foreign government or foreign citizens. Trump's tariffs against Chinese goods are actually a tax levied on the American people and American corporations who buy those Chinese goods. This in no way helps the U.S. economy, as anyone who's gotten as far as college level Economics 101 can attest. Unfortunately for Trump, he keeps demonstrating that even as he continues to implement tariffs, he doesn't even know what a tariff is.
Eight minutes after Donald Trump posted his tweet, the Dow Jones took a huge tumble, and ended up down more than six hundred points for the day. Trump's failed trade war is doing serious damage to the U.S. economy, and that alone has investors rattled. But whenever Trump opens his mouth and reveals that he doesn't even understand the damage he's doing, investors decide to pull out of the market even more sharply.

HER FEST Aims to Break Statistics, Weighing as Yorkshire's First All-Female Fest
Come Play With Me, HER Music PR and Brighter Sound have teamed up to present a truly talented bill, boasting and celebrating the diverse women in the music community emerging from the UK.
Yorkshire's first all-female fest, rightfully dubbed HER FEST, is ready to make waves at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, on October 20th 2018 and will continue on November 3rd in Sheffield at The Picture House. Come Play With Me, HER Music PR and Brighter Sound have teamed up to present a truly talented bill, boasting and celebrating the diverse women in the music community emerging from the UK. Taking into consideration that 2017 statistics unveiled that only 14% were women acts across UK festivals, the initial notion to change this for 2018, and keep the conversation's momentum, became an essential piece of the festival.
With Liverpool's Stealing Sheep and London's The Tuts headlining the event — among Dead Naked Hippies, She Drew the Gun, and Park Fires — the festival's eclectic range of sounds will sure to ignite and inspire, while celebrating women. To get a taste of what is to come, stream the fest's playlist below and be sure to support the talented bill in front and behind the scenes of HER FEST.
