Q: error in this C++ program When i run this program i get the below mentioned error in line    s<<"\""<<string<<"\"" :
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;
string str="abc";
stringstream s;
s<<"\""<<string<<"\"";
cout<<(s.str().c_str());

error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '<<' token
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.
http://codepad.org/KuyMQg3x , here is the online code with error .

A: #include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

int main() {
    using namespace std;
    string str="abc";
    stringstream s;
    s<<"\""<<str<<"\"";
    std::cout<<(s.str().c_str());

}

as suggested in the comment changing string to str works fine.

A: You're trying to execute code at the top level instead of inside a function. This is what your program should look like:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    string str="abc";
    stringstream s;
    s<<"\""<<str<<"\"";
    cout<<(s.str().c_str());
}

A: You seem to be missing your main function. Try this:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    string str="abc";
    stringstream s;
    s<<"\""<<str<<"\"";
    cout<<(s.str().c_str());
}

The C++ runtime needs a function to run to start your program, it will always run int main() (or int main(int argc, char* argv))


When Vivian Gueler signed a lease for office space on Larchmont Blvd. in 2011, she knew she had stumbled onto something special. Five years later, she is a local resident, has a child enrolled in a nearby preschool, and is volunteering to help organize the Larchmont Family Fair.
Born in Sherman Oaks, Gueler is a Los Angeles native and a proud UCLA alumnus, but says she wasn't really aware of Larchmont Village until a chance encounter. A partner at Pacific Trust Group (a boutique mortgage brokerage), Gueller was tasked with finding new office space for the business, and it was during that search she fell in love with the neighborhood.
"I didn't originally know how strong the sense of community was in this area, and how much Larchmont Blvd. served as a base and meeting point for the adjacent neighborhoods," she explains.
At the time, Gueler was living in a Beverly Hills condo, having just given birth to her daughter, Nikka. But she was "looking for something more" from a neighborhood.
Less than a year after relocating her business to Larchmont, she bought a house in Brookside and enrolled Nikka at Plymouth Preschool.
In fact, according to Gueler, it's no accident that she now lives, works and spends much of her time around Larchmont Blvd. "It was strategic. It makes my life both easy and happy," she says with a laugh.
No surprise then that Gueler was quickly inspired to give back to the community as a volunteer.
"This area is community driven and people really do know each other. I wanted to get involved to meet neighbors and do what I can to help the community," she says.
After joining the Larchmont Boulevard Association (LBA) earlier this year, Gueler learned there was a need for volunteers to help organize the Larchmont Family Fair.
"Betsy Malloy is really the event's organizer, I'm just helping where I can with sponsorships and budgets and things like that," says Gueler.
The Larchmont Family Fair is an annual event each October, sponsored by the LBA, that brings more than 10,000 people to Larchmont Blvd. for a weekend of competitions, exhibitors, rides and vendors.
"Other neighborhoods do fairs, but not like this," says Gueler, who hopes her efforts as a volunteer help to preserve the tradition.
On the topic of preserving the neighborhood, the Chronicle asked Gueler (a mortgage broker) her thoughts on the growing number of storefront vacancies on Larchmont Blvd.
"I'm not worried in that I know they're going to get rented. I do feel that the price per square foot that the owners of these buildings are trying to attain is quite high. And I think it's going to prohibit mom-and-pop type retailers from being able to go in and thrive because they're going to always have to worry about being able to pay rent," explains Gueler.
Regardless, Gueler says she expects a bright future for the Larchmont communities: "It's crazy how many people I meet that grew up here and want to stay here. I find that quite unusual for such a large city.


New Delhi: The CBI on Wednesday said that it has registered four more cases against eight persons in connection with the Srijan scam involving a Bhagalpur NGO that allegedly pilfered funds meant for government welfare schemes.
A Central Bureau of Investigation official said that the cases have been registered under the sections of criminal conspiracy, breach of trust, cheating and forgery of valuable security.
According to the CBI FIR, the first case is against NGO Srijan Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti Ltd president Shubhlaxmi Prasad and nine other office-bearers of the organisation.
The case was registered on Tuesday.
In the second case, the agency has booked the former senior branch manager of the Bank of Baroda, Bhagalpur, its cashier, former District Welfare Officer Arun Kumar, Srijan's cashier, its other employees and unknown others.
In the third case the agency booked the current manager of Bank of Baroda's Bhagalpur branch, then branch manager of Indian Bank and all office-bearers of Srijan.
And in the fourth case, it named the then Land Acquisition Officer of Bihar's Banka district, all office-bearers of Srijan and the then branch managers of the Indian Bank and the Bank of Baroda.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had on August 18, 2017, recommended the CBI to probe the Srijan scam, after RJD chief Lalu Prasad accused him of "murdering democracy" in Bihar.

Earlier this year I worked with Brad Watts on some automation: Deploying Virtual Machines in Azure using the Service Manager Self-Service Portal. Our primary VM deployment mechanism was System Center Orchestrator. I decided to do something similar using Service Management Automation (SMA). This series of posts will take you through uploading a custom VM to Azure, configuring Azure so this VM can be deployed through PowerShell, deploying the VM in PowerShell, deploying the VM in SMA, and finally deploying the VM using the Service Manager Self-Service Portal. This might be a useful scenario if you're using the Windows Azure Pack (WAP) to deploy on-premise VMs and also want the ability to utilize a single portal to deploy VMs in the cloud.
The following steps will take you through uploading a custom image to Azure with the necessary settings for scripted deployments. The steps might not be completely necessary as your Azure subscription might already have the following configured.
In my example I will use a Windows virtual machine that will later join a domain in Azure. I specifically used Windows Server 2012 R2 and when I was done installing updates and making other configurations I ran sysprep (as an administrator) and chose the options to Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE), Generalize, and Shutdown. The one thing to remember is to create the VM as a VHD and/or use the Convert-VHD cmdlet to convert from a VHDX.

Q: How can I remove last typed digit from a UILabel? If I type numbers in a label, and if it is a mistake,
how can I remove last typed digit from a UILabel ?
I already put a button for removing the last digit from the label.
The name of the button is back.

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

    @IBOutlet var lbltext: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet var scrolview1: UIScrollView!
    @IBOutlet var fi: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet var scrolviewus: UIScrollView!
    @IBOutlet var counterLabel: UILabel!
    var isFirstTime = true

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    @IBAction func button(sender: AnyObject) {
        lbltext.numberOfLines = 0
        lbltext.text! = lbltext.text! + "\n" + fi.text! + "\n" + "---"
    }

    @IBAction func back(sender: AnyObject) {

    }
}

A: Objective-c
label.text = [label.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(label.text.length - 1, 1) withString:@""];

Swift
    if let text = label.text{
            let nsRange : NSRange = NSRange(location: (text.characters.count) - 1, length: 4)

            label.text = (label.text! as NSString)
                .stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(nsRange, withString: "")

    }

A: Try this:
@IBAction func back(sender: AnyObject) {
    if let text = lbltext.text {
        lbltext.text = String(text.characters.dropLast())
    }
}

Since you want to remove more than just the last digit added, keep the previous state of your label in a property called previous, and just restore it when back is pressed:
var previous = ""

@IBAction func button(sender: AnyObject) {
    lbltext.numberOfLines = 0
    previous = lbltext.text!
    lbltext.text! = lbltext.text! + "\n" + fi.text! + "\n" + "---"
}

@IBAction func back(sender: AnyObject) {
    if !previous.isEmpty {
        lbltext.text = previous
        previous = ""
    }
}

For multiple levels of undo, use an array to hold your previous labels:
var previous: [String] = []

@IBAction func button(sender: AnyObject) {
    lbltext.numberOfLines = 0
    previous.append(lbltext.text!)
    lbltext.text = lbltext.text! + "\n" + fi.text! + "\n" + "---"
}

@IBAction func back(sender: AnyObject) {
    if let last = previous.last {
        lbltext.text = last
        previous.removeLast()
    }
}

A:  let name: String = self.display.text!
 let stringLength = count(name)
 let substringIndex = stringLength - 1
 lbltext.text = (name as NSString).substringToIndex(substringIndex)

A: Have you had just tried the delegate shouldChangeCharactersInRange? :
Remember to do under viewDidLoad:
fi.delegate = self

Then call the delegate:
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

    if string.characters.count == 0 && range.length > 0 {
        // Back pressed
        // do whatever you want with your labels..
        return false
    }

    return true
}

A: @IBAction func back(sender: AnyObject) {
        for var i:Int = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++
        {
            if let text = lbltext.text
            {
                lbltext.text = String(text.characters.dropLast())
            }
        }
    }

Mya Benway Facts
A multifaceted talent, Mya had been the captain of her high school's tennis team for 2 years in succession. This ran almost in parallel with her growing fame on YouTube and Instagram and highlighted the fact that she could pursue 2 different passions without compromising on either, in terms of time or devotion.
From January 2016 to January 2020, she had also served as the media director of the local chapter of Youth in Government, a program in the United States that lets high school students serve in 'model governments' at the local, state, national, or international levels.
She often participates in charitable activities and has volunteered for organizations such as Feed My Starving Children and The Humane Society of the United States. The former coordinates the distribution of food to people in developing nations and Mya had volunteered for them several times during her high school days. The latter aims to raise awareness about animal welfare and prevent animal-related cruelties and she had helped the local chapter of the organization several times by taking care of the puppies and kittens that they had rescued.
In March 2020, she had started an online initiative titled 'Prom at Home' through which she had encouraged youngsters around the country to celebrate the school event at their homes, with their families, because of the global coronavirus outbreak. She had also posted an elaborate video, later that month, that depicted her doing the same.

2022 Inductee
INDUSTRY/PATRIOT
Mike Thomas is a Hall of Fame legacy inductee. He passed away in 2007. Mike's legacy reaches beyond the boundaries of off-road. He was a true patriot.
As owner of Chenowth Racing Products from 1979 to 2007, Mike Thomas took the brand around the globe, amassing an impressive list of accolades, including six SCORE chassis manufacturer of the year awards. By the time of Mike's death in 2007, Chenowth race cars had 12 SCORE International overall victories at the Baja 1000, more than any other manufacturer. Chenowth cars have been raced by some of the top names in the sport, including ORMHOF inductees Rob MacCachren, Bob and Robby Gordon, Corky and Mark McMillin, Jack Johnson, Ivan Stewart, Roger Mears, Johnny Johnson and others, winning hundreds of races, and multiple championships in every off-road series in North America.
Competitive success in North America eventually led to interest from racers around the globe. Throughout the 1980's, 1990's and early 2000's Chenowth cars won events in Australian and South African race series. Jean-Louis Schlesser took a Chenowth based chassis to several 2WD victories and two overall victories in the formidable African rally. Thomas is also responsible for selling the first recreational buggies in the middle east. In the early 1980's several clients from Saudi Arabia purchased Chenowth recreational cars.
These early trips and subsequent sales in the middle east laid the foundation for a lucrative overseas future for several US based off-road buggy manufacturers.
Hollywood also came calling. Mike Thomas worked with motion picture and television studios, providing vehicles and training to stars like Tom Selleck, Chuck Norris, Wesley Snipes, and James Brolin. He provided vehicles for stunt shows at Universal Studios and produced six replica Batmobiles for Six Flags Theme Parks.
By the late 1970's Thomas learned that the US Military was preparing for the battles of the future. Battles they knew would be fought in the deserts of the Middle East. The military needed a high speed, highly mobile off-road platform and Thomas had positioned Chenowth to meet that need. In just over two decades Chenowth built over 300 highly specialized off-road vehicles for several branches of the US Military including the Army, the Marine Corps Force Recon, and Navy Seals.
Mike accompanied the vehicles to the war zone, providing training and support to the troops on the operations of his Chenowth FAV Fast Attack Vehicles. At the time, Chenowth vehicles were the only "battle proven" vehicles to be manufactured from within the off-road racing industry.
"Mike Thomas took what he learned in the sand dunes and deserts here at home and mass produced reliable and safe desert vehicles for our troops and sending them overseas to help the United States win the war known as Desert Storm," said ORMHOF inductee and chairman Mark McMillin. "Of the many generous and noteworthy things Mike did, this would be one of his greatest."

Q: SQL Query Work in phpmyadmin but not in PHP script The below query works fine whenever I try it in phpmyadmin:
SELECT CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider, COUNT(Provider)
FROM purchases
GROUP BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider
ORDER BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE) DESC

Nevertheless I always received a boolean when I placed it inside my PHP script:
$sql="SELECT CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider, COUNT(Provider)
FROM purchases
GROUP BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE), Provider
ORDER BY CAST(DATETIME AS DATE) DESC";

if (mysqli_query($con,$sql))
  {

    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row['CAST(DATETIME AS DATE)'];
    echo $row['Provider'];
    echo $row['COUNT(Provider)'];

}

}
else
  {
  echo "Error creating table: " . mysqli_error($con);
  }

mysqli_close($con)

;
I really would appreciate some advice about how to tackle this issue.

A: this code write like below so its work fine
you use mysqli in all query and check if $result has value than print record otherwise error message was print
$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
if($result)
{
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
        echo $row['CAST(DATETIME AS DATE)'];
        echo $row['Provider'];
        echo $row['COUNT(Provider)'];

    }
}
else
{
    echo "Error creating table: " . mysqli_error($con);
}

mysqli_close($con)

Amalgam Models
Amalgam Collection creates models at a range of scales. For those of you unfamiliar with the way the system works, these scales represent the ratio between the size of a model and its full size counterpart. Here are the scales they make with the average lengths of the model alongside. Put simply, the bigger the number to the right of the colon, the smaller the model car:
1:18…...25 cms (10 inches) long
1:8….....60 cms (24 inches) long
1:4. ….120 cms (48 inches) long
Amalgam's primary focus is on collections at 1:18 and 1:8 scales. It's at those scales they create the majority of their model range, with just a few examples at the other scales. Bespoke models are only available at the bigger 1:8 scale and they tend to build one-offs at the even bigger 1:5 or 1:4

Does obstetric ultrasonography ("ultrasound") impose a significant health risk to the unborn baby?
Ultrasounds in Pregnancy NOT as accurate and safe as YOU think
I'm a Baby-weaning, Breast-feeding Natural-Birthing Mama and Proud
Increasing Risks :
* Miscarriage, preterm labour, and even infant mortality.
* Greater chance of suffering from dyslexia and other speech and learning problems
A friend of mine shared this picture on Facebook warning about ultrasound. Is there any research that backs up the claims of:
Increased risk of Miscarriage, preterm labor, and infant mortality
Greater chance of suffering from dyslexia and other speech and learning problems?
medical-science pregnancy
Other than the vastly increased mortality for unborn female babies after an ultrasound in India/China, I am unaware of any risks. Due to such gender-abortion affects, any studies looking at Ultrasound safety will have to be very carefully controlled to exclude correlations such as those! – Nick Aug 15 '12 at 12:37
@Nick - That we are unaware of any of these risks would be a serious problem assuming they are true. And before you say we would know... tobacco was a known problem for decades before it was accepted as harmful. So it does happen. – Chad Aug 15 '12 at 13:14
Yes, but it seems unlikely that if such a revolutionary change in the understanding of the safety of ultrasound were to take place, it would be distributed on facebook first as a .jpg. Not impossible of course. – Nick Aug 15 '12 at 13:23
I looked at some of the justification for the claims made in the image and found this, which makes similar claims. As someone who has spent time in Ultrasound examinations, and studied them as part of my degree - this is all new to me (but not impossible). midwiferytoday.com/articles/ultrasound.asp – NotJarvis Aug 16 '12 at 8:25
Clinical Damage from Ultrasound
I had a look for some research for this and found the most recent study I could from the Health Protection Agency UK (2010)
Some key quotes from the summary.
At high levels of exposure, ultrasound is capable of causing permanent damage to biological tissues, including teratogenic effects, through heating, acoustic cavitation and radiation force. At lower levels, such as those used for diagnostic purposes, ultrasound does not generally cause heating beyond the normal physiological range, nor does it cause cavitation in the absence of pre-existing gas bubbles
The quote above considers is what tissue damage can be done through known and measurable processes from an ultrasound beam. As Ultrasound is a non-ionising methodology the main causes of any potential tissue damage is through the pressure wave, which can lead to cavitation and heating effects at higher power levels. In general diagnostic/imaging ultrasound (specifically on obstetric scanning), it found little significant evidence of heating or cavitation.
Studies of the effects of ultrasound in humans have largely concerned in utero exposure to diagnostic ultrasound. The available evidence does not suggest effects on several outcomes, which include perinatal mortality and childhood malignancies, but some observational studies have found increased prevalence of non-right-handedness in males with prenatal ultrasound exposure. The results on handedness might reflect confounding rather than causation, however, and analyses comparing individuals randomly assigned to receive, or not receive, ultrasound in pregnancy have only shown weak evidence of an effect.
The key finding from this and most other well-run studies I could find was that the heating produced at common diagnostic levels does not heat the tissue appreciably, or create cavitation.
Some wider studies have shown that with frequent Doppler Ultrasound, there may be a smaller foetal-growth and other issues. But a thing to bear in mind is that generally Doppler ultrasound use is minimised for this very reason (as it utilises a much more powerful beam).
Evidence of Problems in pregnancy/childbirth due to Ultrasound
Of course a good skeptic looks for evidence for the phenomena being claimed, so I took a look around for evidence of the
Increased Miscarriage in people who had ultrasound versus those who didn't
Greater chance of learning problems.
The problem I then found was that many of the online articles talking of this subject link back to things like this article, which dates back to Midwifery Today Issue 51, Autumn 1999.. Several of these pages link to studies which don't quite appear to say what is implied by the link.
For example. looking through the articles referenced in the midwifery today piece a quote says
A large randomised controlled trial from Helsinki (Saari-Kemppainen et al., 1990) randomly divided over 9,000 women into a group who were scanned at sixteen to twenty weeks compared with those who were not. It revealed twenty miscarriages after sixteen to twenty weeks in the screened group and none in the controls.
Looking at the abstract for the actual study gives us this quote.
There were no differences in the number of labour inductions or mean birthweights in the two groups. Perinatal mortality was significantly lower in the screened than in the control group (4.6/1000 vs 9.0/1000); this 49.2% reduction was mainly due to improved early detection of major malformations which led to induced abortion.
I found similar things in each of the other studies I looked at linked by that article. The claims made, did not quite tally with what was shown in the abstract for the paper - so the things Beverley Lawrence Beech was talking about are either viewed as not important enough to put in abstract (unlikely), or the highlights she has are not statistically significant.
Research is always being conducted in this area, and I think you would struggle to find a clinician who would say Ultrasound is definitely and unequivocally safe.
However, I struggle to find well run and clear studies showing an increase in miscarriage or post-natal development, as a result of Ultrasound.
Referring back to the Health Protection Agency (2010) document I started with, which makes no secret that further long term research is desirable.
there is no established evidence of specific hazards, but there are too few research data to draw firm conclusions about their absence, especially in the long term.
Unless there is some mechanism we are unaware of - and in the absence of specific evidence of dangers, normal Ultrasound is most likely pretty safe as a diagnostic tool.
In answer to the question posed by the title of this thread "does ultrasound pose a significant health risk?" The answer is almost certainly NO, as the various studies performed would have clearly shown a greater effect.
NotJarvisNotJarvis
In Abstract to paper the author's claim that while high-power ultrasound can be dangerous, the low powers used in diagnostic tests pose no detectable threat to the fetus, and so the risks are outweighed by the benefits of having a diagnostic.
It has been estimated that more than half of all pregnant women in the United States undergo diagnostic ultrasound during their pregnancies. In light of this, the question of safety is of fundamental importance. Nondiagnostic ultrasound has been shown to produce biologic effects by thermal and cavitational activities. However, diagnostic ultrasound uses much lower intensities, and no evidence exists to suggest that it is associated with adverse effects. Numerous studies have examined the biologic effects of diagnostic ultrasound in insects, plants, cell suspensions, and even small mammals. The data from these experiments are confusing when attempting to relate these findings to the human. Epidemiologic data in humans, used to evaluate the potential adverse effects of exposure to diagnostic ultrasound, have revealed no ill effects from such exposure. Current data indicate that there are no confirmed biologic effects on patients and their fetuses from the use of diagnostic ultrasound and that the benefits to patients exposed to prudent use of diagnostic ultrasound outweigh the risks, if any. This review discusses the available information on the safety of obstetric ultrasonography
I don't have access the the paper itself. This was published in 1990, so it is possible that more research has been done since then finding evidence of damage.
NickNick
More recent UK paper from 2010 reaches much the same conclusions hpa.org.uk/webc/HPAwebFile/HPAweb_C/1265028759369 – NotJarvis Aug 16 '12 at 8:26
Everyone always says that, "the benefits outweigh the risks." What benefits? What are these mysterious benefits everyone keeps writing of, because I don't see them. – Homer6 Aug 24 '12 at 16:32
@Homer6 I believe the benefits are in early diagnosis of any problems. This enables the abortion of severally disabled foetuses, or early treatment depending in what is diagnosed. – Nick Aug 24 '12 at 16:40
@Nick I'm sorry, but that's too vague. I had asked a similiar question: parenting.stackexchange.com/questions/5838/… a few days ago. In one of the articles I reference (drbenkim.com/articles-ultrasound-pregnancy.html), it claims that one of the main reasons for ultrasounds, the detection of placental praevia, is not much of a benefit after all. – Homer6 Aug 24 '12 at 17:00
Early detection of problems is only important if you can DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Therefore, only detection of problems that are actionable should be considered benefits weighed against the risks. – Homer6 Aug 24 '12 at 17:02

"Imagine keeping your four-seat airplane but not dealing with the high cost and stress of renewing your third-class medical. AOPA and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) on Sept. 24 unveiled plans that, if successful, could greatly expand the number of pilots who could use the driver's license medical standard currently available only to sport pilots.
On the final day of AOPA Aviation Summit, AOPA President Craig Fuller and EAA President Rod Hightower said the two groups are working together to finalize a request to create an exemption allowing pilots flying recreationally to use the driver's license medical standard. In order to ensure and even enhance safety, pilots would be required to complete a comprehensive course on aeromedical factors and self-certification.
AOPA and EAA plan to file their request for exemption after the first of the year. Under the proposed exemption, pilots holding recreational, private, commercial, or airline transport pilot certificates who only fly recreationally could choose to use the same driver's license medical self-certification standard currently available to sport pilots.
In addition to holding a driver's license as proof of adequate health, a pilot also would be required to participate in a recurring online education program that would reinforce and expand a pilot's understanding of aeromedical factors and self-certification requirements. AOPA andEAA believe such an education program, developed by the Air Safety Institute in consultation with AOPA's Board of Aeromedical Advisors and EAA's Aeromedical Advisory Council, would provide an equivalent level of safety as a third class medical.
As envisioned, the exemption would be limited by aircraft size and type of operations—for example, a single-engine aircraft, with 180 horsepower or less, four seats or fewer, and fixed gear and operations limited to day VFR, with one passenger. That would greatly expand the number of aircraft a pilot might fly while operating under a driver's license medical standard.
AOPA and EAA estimate that the exemption could save pilots who currently fly with medical certificates nearly $250 million over 10 years, and save the federal government more than $11 million over the same period.
The associations believe the exemption they plan to request is the next logical step in the journey begun when the FAA permitted sport pilots to use the driver's license medical standard. Further, the associations believe the exemption will maintain or enhance aviation safety by improving knowledge and awareness of aeromedical factors through recurrent education for all pilots utilizing the exemption, and by encouraging pilots to continue flying aircraft with which they are already familiar."
I say THAT will never happen, but those folks are more "in-the-know" than I.
Reading through the high-level language, looks like they are proposing to do away with the medical for the Recreational Pilot cert. Certainly opens up more planes to the medical-less pilots. Don't think this increases the new pilot population but could certainly increase the active pilot group.
Cessna 152/172 and Piper Warriors/Archers (and similar) will get a bump in the used market.
If this makes it through, it will be interesting to see if SPs can upgrade to an RP with the appropriate additional training. And could an SP CFI do the training? Or is this new proposal only for downgrades of higher ratings?
Dave, it looks to me like the primary motivation here is to help the older pilot stay in aviation (so its primary effect will be on PP's, not SP's). But since older pilots usually have more discretionary income and also more expense and hassle keeping a current medical, it does seem like it would have a limited beneficial effect.
I'm personally hopeful that this makes its way through. I have several close friends who have 172's and cherokees that I could absolutely fly, but i'm not rated highly enough. I personally would also like to go a LOT faster, and an RV-9 or a DA-20 with a fixed pitch prop would be a whole lot easier for me to find in the used market... cheaper, too!
Don't think this potential change is going to help you out. I agree with Jack (after reading a few accounts of the proposal) that the intent of proposal is for higher rated pilots to operate essentially as an SP but able to fly a 180hp non-complex single. If I recall, you mentioned medical problems and did not yet have a PP or higher. This does not appear to be something you can earn as an initial rating or an SP progression.
I would also challenge that one can find a used DA20 cheaper than a used LSA. A 13 year old low time DA20 is listed for high 80s and 4 year old very low time Sting is listed for low 70s on Controller.com. The DA20 cruises around 135kts and the Sting comes close to 120kts (at 5300rpm). Not a material speed difference unless you're racing. There are other LSAs that cruise in this range as well. The used LSA market is starting to, well, become a market.
You certainly would have more rental choices, though.
I do like the initiative. Getting or keeping more people in the air is always a good thing!
The way I see it, unless they put specific wording in that states 'must have had a pp rating in the past' or 'passed a 3rd class medical prior to', then I don't see it as an objection to me flying.
My primary mission is that of needing 1-2 places at around 120-140kts in VFR conditions (I'd love night, but i'll keep dreaming;) ) That being said, there are only 2 LSA for rent within 2 hours of me. This would allow me to drive about 20 minutes and have no less than 2 172, 3 cherokee, and a liberty xl2, all rental on the same field. I'd like to think that the availability factor alone, for me personally, is enough to explore with AOPA/EAA and figure out what they are aiming for.
Looks like the current proposal is for those already holding a certificate but could still be an opportunity to reach out to AOPA/EAA to broaden.
Keep in mind that nothing else changes. They are referring to (non-LSA) 4-passenger Part 23 a/c (which require a PP license to fly), and Flight Reviews, passenger carrying currency, night currency et al. requirements still would be in place per the FAR's. The differences as I read the proposal is that an otherwise legal PP would be allowed to pilot certain types of Part 23 a/c without a medical and with no more than 1 passenger. (I personally think they got ahead of themselves in how they wrote the intro, as I'll bet they want their proposal to cover 2-passenger Part 23 a/c like a Cessna 152, as well).
There IS a 'medical qualification' burden within this proposal, you'll notice. It isn't simply a 'the medical goes away' proposal.
Personally, I think this is an excellent idea in its own right. E.g. many pilots who get to the point where they would like to fly without scrutiny from an AME have probably never had exposure to the flying-related effects of meds they began taking later in life, after earning their license, or how other health issues might impact their flying later in life (the topic of visual acuity comes to mind). IMO a significant improvement on the status quo.
From an FAA perspective (understanding of FAR's; proper operation of the a/c; accident prevention; accident mitigation), it's hard to imagine a significant difference between a 180 hp or less Part 23 a/c incident and a <120 kt LSA incident.
This is an interesting report from Roland Hedley's real-life counterpart, Dan Johnson, about the reaction of those attending AOPA's Summit this past week to the 'driver's license medical' proposal. A warm, supportive response from attendees (which you could actually view, real time, if on-line to 'attend' the Summit) but a somewhat opposite reaction from LSA retailers who picture a zero-sum game when it comes to a/c sales.
"On Saturday, EAA and AOPA made a joint announcement that they will petition FAA next year to drop the third class medical for certain GA aircraft, limiting such privilege to one passenger and no more than 180 horsepower in day VFR.... Though EAA and AOPA say doing away with the medical is supported by experience from Sport Pilot/Light-Sport Aircraft, the message was received warily by LSA sellers even as AOPA members gave loud approval at the morning session.
"Because many LSA are sold to pilots concerned about their medical, some felt the surprise announcement could chill sales that are already slow. However, other experts didn't perceive the negative and most pilots are aware the number of medically-related accidents is vanishingly small, plus generally, removing any barriers to more flying activity is a net gain. Yet even EAA and AOPA officials agreed the chance for victory is uncertain on this sixth try to go to a driver's license medical and approval may take two to five years, if ever. With disparate reactions to the announcement, only time will show how this new initiative might benefit aviation growth and activity. Regardless, it is fascinating to see the onetime rival member organizations harnessing their considerable horsepower in a combined effort. "
Wait a minute, Jack -- are you telling me Roland Hedley isn't real-life?
Where did you see the report? I went to Dan Johnson's site and didn't find it. Isn't he also president of LAMA?
You're a funny guy, Paul. And I've asked Roland to stop by and interview you next month, now that he's wrapped up his synopsis of the Palin expose'.
The above quote can be found in Dan Johnson's current (as of this date) blog titled: "Lockwood Rotax and Bristell at AOPA Summit 2011" I should have included the cite but did assume everyone would go right to the LSA world's 'PR Major Domo' blog.
And yes, DJ is not just Mr. LSA on the promotional, beat-the-drum end of things but also President of a small clique of LSA business-related individuals who 'are' LAMA. In the Wild West, 'make the rules as you go along' LSA world, LAMA's original primary goal was to institute a voluntary manufacturing quality review program, and that probably made (and still makes) a lot of sense. But with an organization that had no prior professional experience in quality management, no technical staff, and with a plan to farm out the actual visits & reviews to Embry Riddle, their proposal probably looked - to many manufacturers - like they would be turning over management of their production activities to, at best, an unknown quantity. My impression, put succinctly, is that LAMA lacked/lacks the necessary credibility...and you need to have more than a good idea to be invited to mess around with someone's business.

How Building Age Impacts Rent in NYC
For potential Manhattan renters, a building's age is not just a number, according to a new report from RentHop. But just how much of a rent difference is there between pre-war and post-war buildings?
Corina Stef
Aug 28, 2017
New York City has been experiencing a steady residential boom, with 6,900 units completed in Manhattan in 2016 alone. With a significant amount of new supply on the market, renters have a wide variety of buildings to choose from, whether they prefer the new high-rises or the charming pre-war structures, but rent plays a large role in where someone can ultimately decide to live. While one might assume an older building will mean cheaper rent, a new report from RentHop, utilizing NYC's PLUTO database, reveals this isn't always the case.
New York City is an old city, which is reflected in the style and age of many of its residential buildings. The median age of a surviving residential building is about 90 years, largely due to the 63 percent population growth between 1900 and 1920 that resulted in a construction boom during that era.
Despite their older age, these pre-war buildings don't necessarily offer cheaper rents than their newer counterparts. While across neighborhoods the average pre-war apartment (a one-bedroom unit with an elevator in the building, for the report's purposes) is around 10 to 12 percent cheaper, or $6 cheaper per year of age, this isn't the case in every neighborhood.
Manhattan's oldest submarkets, including SoHo, Greenwich Village and East Village, largely coincide with zones of historical district designations, meaning the building stock in these areas predominantly comprise older rental apartments. But rents there are not cheap—in some, rents are the highest in the borough. This is due to the reduced number of available rentable units and zoning restrictions, which make elevator buildings particularly in-demand in these areas. In addition, while the exterior of many of these buildings are pre-war, many of them have undergone high-end renovations with modern interiors, which boosts up the rents.
On the other end of the spectrum, Roosevelt Island, Battery Park City and Co-Op City are New York City's newest neighborhoods. The median age of a residential building in Battery Park City is 19 years, with hardly any pre-war buildings in the submarket. The neighborhoods consist of almost entirely mid- to high-rise residential buildings, with the newer apartments being significantly more expensive than older apartments.
Take a step inside
While there isn't a strong relationship between prices and age of buildings across neighborhoods, there is a more significant link within neighborhoods, the report noted. The report only analyzed one-bedroom apartments in elevator buildings, as most walk-up buildings are older and pre-war.
In general, there is a positive relationship between building year and rent when looking within a neighborhood, meaning that older buildings tend to be cheaper. In Hell's Kitchen, renters can expect to pay 18 percent less on a pre-war unit, while Upper West Side renters will get a 17 percent discount for an older apartment. But some neighborhoods like Flatiron and Gramercy Park, which are smaller in size or have less supply of available units for rent, the relationship isn't as strong. For older neighborhoods like Greenwich Village and East Village, there isn't much rent difference between a property built in 1915 versus a property from 1930, the report noted.
Despite the differences within neighborhoods, potential renters that are on a budget should consider looking at older or pre-war buildings, with rents beings $6 cheaper per year of age, on average. Pre-war apartments tend to be less expensive than their modern counterparts, and residents could be surprised by the interior renovations and upgrades that have been done to offer similar amenities to newer buildings. Renters who have a bit more money in their budget can look to modern, luxury buildings, but even renting in one that is a few years older could shave off a significant amount of rent.

This monograph is devoted to a modern theory of capital cost and capital structure created by this book's authors, called the Brusov-Filatova-Orekhova (BFO) theory, and its application to the real economy. BFO theory promises to replace the traditional theory of capital cost and capital structure by Nobel laureates Modigliani and Miller. This new theory in particular, presents a possible explanation to the causes of the recent global financial crisis. The authors of the book describe the general theory of capital cost and capital structure that can be applied to corporations of arbitrary age (or with arbitrary lifetime) and investment projects with arbitrary duration. The authors illustrate their theory with examples from corporate practice and develop investment models that can be applied by companies in their financial operations. This updated second edition includes new chapters devoted to the application of the BFO theory in ratings, banking and other areas. The authors also provide a new approach to rating methodology highlighting the need for including financial flow discounting, the incorporation of rating parameters (in particular, financial ratios) into the modern theory of capital structure - BFO theory. This book aims to change our understanding of corporate finance, investments, taxation and rating procedures. The authors emphasize that the most used principles of financial management should be changed in accordance to BFO theory.


While the U.S. Congress remained on vacation, British Parliament was called back to debate a pending attack on Syria. We also look at some facts about Syria that suggest we might be getting into a Shock Doctrine type of situation.
29. Notwithstanding the progress in activating monetary policy in the past two years, Syria's monetary policy framework remains rudimentary and in need of major strengthening to allow the central bank to use indirect instruments of monetary control to operate effectively in a financial system that will increasingly become market-based. Indirect instruments will strengthen the price mechanism in the financial sector, ensuring a more efficient allocation of financial resources and a proper pricing of financial risks.
30. Progress toward this medium-term goal should start by having the central bank gain full control of existing direct instruments. The central bank should have the right to decide on credit ceilings and credit policies of banks with a view to ensuring a pace of credit and monetary expansion consistent with maintaining price stability while fostering economic activity and employment. Banks have to abide by all prudential regulations. Beyond this, the role and responsibilities of the central bank and the ministry of finance in exercising oversight on the banks should be clearly defined. While the government could play a lead role in choosing the board and the management of public banks, the CBS should have the authority to evaluate and approve banks' policies, and procedures related to the credit and investment.
complete the banking supervision framework including a licensing manual to ensure prudent and transparent licensing policy.

Mark Pellegrino of 'Being Human' on getting 'Lost' in gods, monsters
Editor's note: Here there be spoilers. If you choose to read ahead, you might learn a few things about Being Human.
BY AARON SAGERS
Pellegrino as Jacob, courtesy ABC
If the apocalypse does occur in 2012, it's a safe bet that Mark Pellegrino is somehow involved. As an actor, he has played multiple roles so significantly tied to the survival or obliteration of humanity one can't help but wonder if his agent is reading the Book of Revelation in between scripts - or if Pellegrino might actually perform on a stage at the end of the world.
Pellegrino is not a god, but he has played a few memorable ones on TV. He is respected for notable roles like Rita's wife-beating ex Paul on Dexter; Gavin Q. Baker, a flamboyant attorney to cops on The Closer, a character worthy of his own spinoff; Tom Dempsey, an old-school mobster on Castle. But the actor is better known as Jacob, the godlike protector of the Island on mythology-heavy Lost. Other viewers know him better as Lucifer, the fallen archangel-cum-devil on another mythology-heavy show, Supernatural - a role he just returned to on the Feb. 17 episode "Repo Man" as a vision to Sam Winchester.
Still others might know Pellegrino best as Bishop, the undead (and later very dead) leader of Boston vampires on Syfy's reboot series Being Human. In Being Human, which airs Mondays at 9 p.m., Bishop is yet another character in Pellegrino's rogues gallery with a god complex. Bishop has designs on wiping out much of the human race, and turning the remainder into slaves. And because death can't keep a good bad guy down, Bishop returns in tonight's episode of Being Human to torment his vampire son Aidan (Sam Witwer), who is experiencing a bit of parenting problems himself
Mark Pellegrino joined us over the phone to discuss Bishop's return, his career as angels and demons, and even his love of video games, zombies and a possible role on The Walking Dead.
Aaron Sagers: So I've spoken with your Being Human cohorts, and I heard you're a big gamer with your vampire son, Sam Witwer. Is that true?
Mark Pellegrino: Oh yeah. I'm kind of expanding my horizons a little bit in that realm. I used to be just the zombie apocalypse guy, but I'm starting to go outward into horror games and even shooter games, in general. I'm quite a fanatic about it.
AS: What kind of zombie apocalypse games do you really enjoy?
MP: Well, Left 4 Dead is my favorite. I like the first one the best because the characters are just pretty damn cool. I've been getting into the second one. Me and Sam play versions that are downloaded. There are these special games you can play on Left 4 Dead 2 that incorporates Left 4 Dead and those characters, and that's always really fun. [laughs]
AS: Are you a big fan of sort of the zombie genre in movies or just video games?
MP: I do like the zombie movies! In fact, I'm wearing a shirt right now my son gave me that says "Z-E-A: Special Agent, Zombie Emergency Agency." It looks like an FBI logo, but it's got all the bells and whistles of zombies. Yeah, I do like the zombie movies quite a bit. I know there are purist zombie guys that don't like the running zombies, but I dig the infected thing. I think that's a scarier incorporation of an element into the genre.
AS: Well, it's funny. I could see you actually fitting in well with The Walking Dead folks. Has there been any talk of that?
Pellegrino checks in on 'Being Human'

MP: Well, you know, first of all, I read every single one of The Walking Dead graphic novels. Twice. And Sam Witwer, is friends with Frank Darabont. So one evening, I was over at his house, we were playing zombies, and he said, "Come on, I want you to go to dinner with me." He took me to dinner, and in walks Frank, and we all sat down and ate together. You know, it seemed at the moment at that time that there was a possibility of me going in to work for the show, but you know, of course, things happened with Frank and the show. Who knows where I stand now? I have a good friend who works on the show, too, so maybe one of these days I'll get to be a survivor.
AS: Who do you know who works on the show?
MP: It's Jon Bernthal who plays Shane.
AS: Now there are rumors that it sounds like Jon Bernthal is maybe out of the show, right?
MP: Really? I haven't spoken to him in a little while. I saw him at the premiere, but I haven't spoken to him in a while. It looked like the show was going in that direction. I think he knew that kind of from the beginning. I don't think that's a new development, unless you know something I don't.
AS: Everyone seems to like zombies for different reasons. What is your connection or theory as to why they are popular?
MP: There's a lot of speculation on what the zombie apocalypse thing means. I have a feeling that it's kind of an expression of our subconscious fears. I think we know that something big and impossible - some enormous crash, equalizing crash, whatever - may be coming around the corner. I think that that is a specter that finds some psychological release in these zombie movies. I also kind of have a different interpretation than even Romero, the originator of series, would have. I think we kind of live in a bit of a cannibalistic society. Subliminally, the movies show the cannibalism of the many against the few. You know, we kind of have an ingrained, parasitic society. We kind of think it's okay to eat your neighbor.
AS: You've portrayed a few characters that are apocalyptic-minded. What is the appeal of characters like that; these scary guys with a lot of power?
MP: People like that drive a story and test heroic values, so I think just speaking from the literary point of view, they're just phenomenally interesting. But I think people are enamored of power and somewhat fascinated by one who has this quality of amorality. There's something kind of frightening because it's an animal that many of us don't understand - but they're so liberated from so many of the things that hold us back that they also fascinate us. I think that's what also bleeds over in less literary, less sophisticated ways to some of the reality-TV shows where you see interventions where people are just off-the-hook train wrecks with no regard for the sanctity of anything, let alone their own lives. There's something about that psychology that is interesting, in a way.
AS: Jacob, Lucifer, Bishop: These are all charismatic characters who get people to follow them. Did you ever think, "I'm playing a cult leader here"?
MP: If I looked at it, I think that in fact is what I am. But if I look at it that way from an actor's point of view, I have so many judgments about that kind of character - a cult leader - that are negative that it would make it impossible to act something like that with any sympathy. I usually have to find out the human inside. For me, I relate to what makes me get morally behind my guy. For Bishop, there were a number of issues that I think any person could relate to. I think what was going on between Aidan and I was very much biblical in the sense of the story: The prodigal son and the father intervening on behalf of his son, who is going down the wrong path and I'm attempting to bring him back into the fold where he'll be happiest. And there's also - on a micro level, on a backdoor level - I think Bishop is attempting to liberate his people.
He's attempting to free an oppressed minority, to come out, to stop hiding in the closets. Integrate is the nice word, but I think he eventually, of course, wants to conquer because he has very, very Darwinian feelings about vampires and human beings. The sense of justice about a more-powerful being is that there's something higher up on the food chain that's treating itself with such injustice and disrespect. I think he has such a high regard for his people that he wants to advance them.
AS: So Bishop is a family man with ambition?
As Lucifer in the Feb. 17 episode of 'Supernatural'
MP: I tried to put positive ambition and a kind of family - a sense of family connective-ness into Bishop's character - which I thought was there, and is something I could morally get behind. Same with Lucifer. I don't focus so much on the anti-life aspects of Lucifer, but on betrayal from those that he loved and alienation from god, as punishment for an injustice and wanting revenge. Does that sound weird [laughs]?
AS: I mean, it may be weird for somebody that catches this conversation out of context! We know Bishop is going to be back in Being Human after getting killed off by beheading. How do you survive that? Are you coming back as a zombie vampire?
MP: [laughs] Well, you know, I kind of don't know what I am when I come back - if I'm a ghost or a figment of Aidan's imagination. So there's speculation as to whether or not they're going to have me back some more, or under what conditions and circumstances because there's definitely a lot of space to bring me back in.
AS: Do you find it funny that out of all these characters you've played - where many people have died at your characters' hands - that Paul from Dexter is the guy who gets most of the bad-guy attention? I mean, a lot of people have died at the hands of Lucifer and Bishop, but people focus on Paul. Granted, he did awful things, but compared to the devil? Do you ever chuckle at that?
MP: I feel bad everybody kind of sees Paul as this horrific person. You know, again for me, it was about getting my family together and this usurper comes in that is trying to steal what's mine, and you know, I leave it up to the audience to judge. And they have judged harshly whether Paul does it effectively or in an appropriate way. But yeah, it's very funny. I think the more iconic a character, the more distance there is from their deeds and, in a way, the more acceptable they become. You know Paul's just an everyday, blue-collar guy, and so I think he's much more intimate.
AS: From the perspective of fans, what's the character most people recognize you for?
MP: I've been going to Supernatural conventions, so they tend to be big Lost fans and big Supernatural fans, but it's usually for both of those. Walking on the street, people are really, really into Lost. But on the conventions circuit it's Lucifer.
AS: It's been nearly two years since the series ended (the finale was May 23, 2010), so are you still getting questions about Lost that people expect you to answer?
MP: Yeah! They expect me to explain the entire show to them. And it's a little bit shocking to them when I tell them, "You know, it's anybody's guess." Nobody believes I'm as informed as you are about things. You're just going to have to come up with your own solutions the way I did. [laughs]

I really like this article. Thanks for the great interview with Mark Pellegrino. I've liked him since first seeing him on Dexter, then LOST, then Supernatural and most recently on Being Human and Supernatural again ;-) I'm wondering if he is on Twitter, Facebook or Google+? I think it would be interesting if he was. Thanks again!

The choices then are colour or bleach, if you have short hair I would go for bleach with a low volume developer and then use a toner for the desired result. If its longer use a highlight ash based colour this means it will lift your hair at the same time as neutralising unwanted warm tones. You must process the colour for the full time and you can then use silver or violet conditioner if you want further cool tones.
I am 23 and have done a ton of awful things to my hair thus far. My hair colour is naturally a dark brown (almost black) and I have pale olive skin. I have gotten it dyed at the salon, box dyed, dyes from Sally�s Beauty Boutique etc. My most recent endeavour was trying to go blonde from my natural hair colour (which had lighter ends from when I was blonde). I used a box dye as a bleach to lift my hair, which turned it bright orange (to be expected). Afterwards I tried to dye over top of the orange with another box dye, which did nothing. I have since tried a toner from Sally�s (which did nothing). I also tried a Highlift dye from sally�s (which lifted my hair but was still orange). Now I have used a semi-permanent hair dye on my hair which did neutralize the brassiness A LITTLE bit (as well as darken my hair to about a medium red-brown). My ideal goal would be to achieve a dark blonde, though I am not sure how to go about it... Is bleaching my only option? Otherwise, even achieving a light brown would be acceptable. Please help.
Moving forward this should just be used on the root area with 30 vol /9% as it will need to lift your natural colour rather than deposit, hope this makes sense and really good luck.

Q: Optimization of rest-assured and gson at rest test with java with cucumber I got a rest api which returns me this nested response:
"latitude":37.8267,
"longitude":-122.4233,
"timezone":"America/Los_Angeles",
"minutely":{
   "summary":"Clear for the hour.",
   "icon":"clear-day",
   "data":[
       {
         "time":1517431560,
         "precipIntensity":0,
         "precipProbability":0
       },
       {
         "time":1517431620,
         "precipIntensity":0,
         "precipProbability":0
       },
....

So, I need to get minutely weather forecast and put it to the object. I made a HourlyWeather class with getters and setters (not listed):
public class HourlyWeather {
    String time;
    String precipIntensity;
    String precipProbability;

And here are my gherkin steps implemented with java:
    @Given("^rest api$")
        public void restApi() throws Throwable {
            restApiUrl = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/******"; // my api key
        }

@And("^rest api parameters$")
    public void restApiParameters() throws Throwable {
        restApiUrl = restApiUrl + "/37.8267,-122.4233";
    }

    @When("^I \"([^\"]*)\" rest api execution result$")
    public void iRestApiExecutionResult(String method) throws Throwable {
       RestAssured.baseURI = restApiUrl;
       RequestSpecification httpRequest = RestAssured.given();            response = httpRequest.request(Method.GET);

    }

and here is my question: I'm using rest assured here to get a part of my nested JSON (which I need). And I do a toString conversion here. After that - I'm using GSON to deserialize my string and create a HourlyWeather[] object with all hourly weather json keys data. Is there any way I could avoid this conversion and simplify my code?
     @Then("^I should deserialize result just to know how to do that$")
        public void iShouldDeserializeResultJustToKnowHowToDoThat() throws Throwable {
            // get only part of my nested json
            // I would like ot get this part as an array list of HourlyWeather.class objects, not
            // as ArrayList of HashMaps, so this is String here
            String stringOfRequiredJSON = response.jsonPath().getJsonObject("minutely.data").toString();

            Gson gson = new Gson();
            HourlyWeather[] hourlyWeatherForecast = gson.fromJson(stringOfRequiredJSON, HourlyWeather[].class);
printHourlyWeather(hourlyWeatherForecast);
    }

Thank you!

A: Yes, if you are willing to switch to another tool, you must evaluate Karate it frees you from having to fight with JSON in Java, which let us all admit - is not the best language to work with JSON.
I'd also like to point to my detailed answer on why trying to use BDD for REST API testing is not the best use of your time: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47799207/143475
