Sugarwish founders can't live without candy, thankfully. What started as a lack of thoughtful, and clever gifts in the marketplace to send to family and friends, inspired co-founders Leslie Lyon and Elisabeth Vezzani to create Sugarwish— a candy lovers online paradise.
We all love some sugar every now and then, and our Adventuregirl.com founder, Stefanie Michaels is all about Hot Tamales and Chewy Sweet tarts, and many of us are choco-holics.
We couldn't help but wonder what candies these sweet-tooth-candy-loving founders can't live without.
Pink Grapefruit, Rainbow Sour Belts, Bullseyes Caramel Creams, Sour Patch Cherries, Bit-O-Honey, Sour Patch Apples, Tootsie Rolls and Black Licorice Jelly Bellys.
"Nostalgic Candy is my favorite because it's like a time machine. When I eat a bullseye (caramel cream) I'm 10. 🙂 ," says Leslie Lyon.
"I like Tootsie Rolls so much, I think I should have considered naming one of my children-Tootsie," states Elisabeth Vezanni.
Through the process of building their sugar empire, they became unofficial "gifting experts" and total candy pros. So, with Mother's Day coming up, we wanted to know what they've learned about gifting, and how to send something to even the pickiest of candy lovers.
Here are their 4 guidelines for great gifting for any occasion, because after all, who doesn't love candy!
1) Looks matter. Everyone wants to make a great first impression. We've found that packaging is as important to most people, as what's inside. That initial impression will stay with them long after the gift is gone, so make sure your gift is "dressed to impress".
4) Customization is Key. The key to a great gift is when your gift receiver thinks "Wow! She/He really knows me." 🙂 The more you can customize a gift (or better yet, let them customize it) the more of a perfect fit, and a great gift it will be.

Q: hierarchical multi-part key value store I'm trying to design a configs/settings management system which I'm thinking of storing in a key value store.
I have a multi-part key - OrganizationId + TenantId + UserId + ApplicationId whereas value is a serialized config/settings object. The multiple parts of the key are hierarchical - i.e userid belongs to a tenantid which belongs to a organization id
The business requirement is such that I have to return the user-level (user id) config/settings object if it exists or else return tenant level (tenant id) or else return organization level (org id) object. The organization level object will always exist.
I plan to store the org level object with key as -(OrgId - a, TenantId - 0, UserId - 0, AppId - 0)
Similarly, tenant level object will be stored as - (OrgId - a, TenantId - b, UserId - 0, AppId - 0) and so on...
When I get a query to return a certain config/setting object I get - OrgId(a), TenantId(b), UserId(c), and AppId(d) as the input. My job is query the key-value store to return the object at appropriate level
I can achieve this by making 4 calls in the worst case to the key value store -

*

*a, b, c, d

*a, b, c, 0

*a, b, 0, 0

*a, 0, 0, 0

Is there any way in which I can achieve this in a single call ? Any additional data structures that I can maintain to achieve this ? Any algorithms I can use to solve this issue ?
Thanks in advance !!

A: Here are your two example settings
(a,0,0,0) => 1
(a,b,0,0) => 2

Now suppose I go through all possible combinations in lexicographical order and see what I get
(a,0,0,0) => 1
(a,0,0,a) => 1
....
(a,b,0,0) => 2
(a,b,0,a) => 2
...
(a,c,0,0) => 1

and I store only the points at which things change
(a,0,0,0) => 1
(a,b,0,0) => 2
(a,c,0,0) => 1

I haven't expanded the original data by more than a factor of two, and I can work out the setting for any position by using a single query that returns the largest position <= the query position.

Q: Checking if a word is in a array in lua I'm trying to find a word in the array that has "orange" in it. It works, but when I add the else statement to show the message "matches not found" I get this result.
matches not found
x-orange-test
orange
new_orange
matches not found

What am I doing wrong? Why do I have this message "matches not found" if "orange" exists in the array?
The logic is this: if there is at least one element with the word "orange" in the array, print only those elements. If the array contains no elements with the word "orange" print one line "matches not found" I'm sorry, I'm a newbie to LUA. My code.
local items = { 'apple', 'x-orange-test', 'orange', 'new_orange', 'banana' }

    for key,value in pairs(items) do
        if string.match(value, 'orange') then
            print (value)
        else
            print ('matches not found')
        end
    end

the equivalent of the Python code with a slight correction for the summation of the elements found. It works the way I need it to. But I need to figure out how to do the same thing in LUA
#!/usr/bin/env python3
items = ['apple', 'x-orange-test', 'orange', 'new_orange', 'banana']

if any("orange" in s for s in items):
    sum_orange = sum("orange" in s for s in items)
    print (sum_orange)
else:
    print('matches not found')

Thanks in advance.

A: Your lua code prints the result for every element in the table, so you will get twice the "not found" message because there are indeed two elements without an orange.
Your Python code uses a completely different logic and cannot be compared to the lua code. To fix the lua code you can use something like this:
found = false
for key,value in pairs(items) do
    if string.match(value, 'orange') then
        print (value)
        found = true
    end
end
if not found then
    print ('matches not found')
end

A: For the first code, you are going through each item in the set and checking if "orange" is contained in the item. And so when you reach am item which does not contain the word "orange", the else condition is true and so matches not found is printed. I would advise you remove the print('matches not found') from the for loop. Rather create a boolean to check if "orange" has found in any of the items in the set. Outside the for loop, you can then check if the boolean is false and then print 'match not found.' See the code below:
local items = { 'apple', 'x-orange-test', 'orange', 'new_orange', 'banana' }
local matchFound = false

    for key,value in pairs(items) do
        if string.match(value, 'orange') then
            print (value)
            matchFound = true
        end
    end

    if not matchFound then
        print('matches not found')

A: you can match with iterator like this.
-- table method extend
---@param t string[]
---@param value string
function table.find(t, value)
    if type(t) ~= "table" or t[1] == nil then
        error("is not a array")
        return
    end

    for k, v in ipairs(t) do
        if v == value then
            return true, t[k]
        end
    end
    return false, nil
end

local items = {
    "apple",
    "x-orange-test",
    "orange",
    "new_orange",
    "banana"
}

print(table.find(items, "orange"))
--> true orange

print(table.find(items, "orange-odd"))
--> false nil

Editor's Note: This article contains affiliate links to GamersGate. Buying a game through these links supports Niche Gamer.
505 Games and All in! Games, have released some new free content and paid DLC for their first-person action-platformer, Ghostrunner.
The free update includes the addition of two new modes: Photo and Kill Run. Photo Mode allows you to more easily capture and share gorgeous screenshots of the game, while the Kill Run Mode is focused on speedrunning. This mode is based around a timer, and players get extra seconds each time they kill an enemy. Compete to finish each level with the best time.
The update also adds some performance enhancements. This includes support for NVIDIA Reflex on PC, while the PS4 Pro version gets an adjustable FOV slider, and a new Performance Mode that allows players to tweak the graphics options to get higher framerates.
These updates were released alongside the Metal Ox Pack DLC. This cosmetic DLC adds the Benevolence, Justice, Integrity, and Rite katana and glove sets. The DLC pack costs $4.99 USD.
You can find the trailer showcasing the new updates and DLC below.
You can find the rundown (via GamersGate) below:
Ghostrunner is a hardcore FPP slasher packed with lightning-fast action, set in a grim, cyberpunk megastructure. Climb Dharma Tower, humanity's last shelter, after a world-ending cataclysm. Make your way up from the bottom to the top, confront the tyrannical Keymaster, and take your revenge.
The streets of this tower city are full of violence. Mara the Keymaster rules with an iron fist and little regard for human life.
As resources diminish, the strong prey on the weak and chaos threatens to consume what little order remains. The decisive last stand is coming. A final attempt to set things right before mankind goes over the edge of extinction.
As the most advanced blade fighter ever created, you're always outnumbered but never outclassed. Slice your enemies with a monomolecular katana, dodge bullets with your superhuman reflexes, and employ a variety of specialized techniques to prevail.
One-hit one-kill mechanics make combat fast and intense. Use your superior mobility (and frequent checkpoints!) to engage in a never-ending dance with death fearlessly.
Ghostrunner offers a unique single-player experience: fast-paced, violent combat, and an original setting that blends science fiction with post-apocalyptic themes. It tells the story of a world that has already ended and its inhabitants who fight to survive.

There will also be a physical version released for Nintendo Switch on June 25th in Europe, and June 29th in the US.

Mohsen Zarkesh – OFAC Lawyer
For A Consultation Call
(202) 517-1611 Habla Español
OFAC Economic Sanctions Attorney
Largest Settlement for OFAC Violations
According to the Department of the Treasury, its Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has reached the largest ever settlement, totaling $963 million, for OFAC sanctions violations. This OFAC settlement (pdf) was part of a "combined $8.8 billion settlement with federal and state government agencies," including OFAC, the U.S. Department of Justice, the New York County District Attorney's Office, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and the Department of Financial Services of the State of New York.
BNP Paribas SA (BNPP) is a French Bank, in fact the largest in France, and is also one of the five largest banks operating worldwide. Although it is headquartered in Paris, it has a number of subsidiaries and branches in different parts of the world. Of interest to OFAC were two branches in particular, one in New York (BNPP New York) and one in Geneva, Switzerland (BNPP Geneva).
The Facts Behind the Violations
According to the factual statement from the Supreme Court of New York (pdf), which was stipulated to by both the prosecution and BNPP, the bank was engaged in a conspiracy with banks and persons in Sudan, Iran, and Cuba. This conspiracy took place "from at least 2004 up through and including 2012." These parties "intentionally and willfully [moved] at least $8 billion through the U.S. financial system on behalf of Sanctioned Entities in violation of U.S. Sanctions laws." See Factual Statement (linked above).
OFAC Sanctions currently prohibit financial transactions with Sudan (31 CFR Part 538), Iran (31 CFR Part 560), and Cuba (31 CFR Part 515), as well as many entities and individuals on the SDN List related to those nations. The United States does not have jurisdiction over foreign banks outside the U.S. financial system. Once those non-U.S. banks begin working within the U.S. financial system, however, the transactions must adhere to OFAC's sanction laws. In this case, BNPP purposefully structured the financial transactions to obfuscate, conceal, or altogether omit the names of the sanctioned nations and entities. In this way, BNPP was able to use its New York branch and accounts of un-sanctioned regional banks across the world as clearing houses.
This case was deemed particularly egregious by U.S. authorities because of the alleged willfulness of the violations and other aggravating factors. One such factor is the fact that BNPP and at least one member of its senior management were aware that its conduct likely constituted violations of OFAC sanctions and U.S. law. To circumvent the sanctions, BNPP employees would frequently remove the names from transaction invoices and even in email exchanges and subject lines, such as:
"Due to the US embargo on Sudan, please [debit our U.S. dollar account] without mentioning our name in your payment order"
"ATTENTION: US EMBARGO"
"! Payment in $ to [French Bank 1] without mentioning Sudan to N.Y.!!!"
BNPP Geneva also played a major role in the OFAC sanctions violations. Sudanese clients –most notably, Sudanese banks — would allegedly funnel U.S. dollars out of Sudan by transferring the money to a BNPP Geneva account maintained by an unaffiliated, non-Sudanese, non-U.S. bank (called "satellite banks"). The satellite banks would then transfer the money to the intended recipient in the U.S., all without mentioning that the money was coming from Sudanese accounts. According to OFAC, a similar process was developed to allow sanctioned entities to receive U.S. dollars through the U.S. financial system. Although compliance officers warned BNPP Geneva executives that this activity likely violated OFAC sanctions, BNPP Geneva proceeded with this conduct for years without "voluntarily self-disclosing" the violations.
Mitigating Factors
At the same time, BNPP benefited from several mitigating factors by cooperating fully with the OFAC investigation (among the other state and federal investigations). This included conducting an extensive internal investigation and taking remedial action to address the deficiencies in BNPP policy that led to these violations.
BNPP's cooperation was not, however, unexpected. The state and federal agencies investigating BNPP's violations brought enormous pressure to bear on the French bank. One unexpected but significant source of this pressure was likely Benjamin Lawsky, a New York banking regulator with the power to strip a bank of its license to do business in New York. New York is so important to international finance that losing one's New York charter could be a death knell for even large banks like BNPP.
Still, this demonstrates the importance of voluntarily self-disclosing conduct that may constitute OFAC violations. The systemic and prolonged practice of circumventing OFAC sanctions was a very serious violation in itself. But, BNPP's reckless disregard for the legality of its actions and efforts to conceal the nature of its conduct are particularly egregious. Even when warned by compliance officers, BNPP Geneva took no steps to remedy their conduct, only to hide it.

Sarah Sanders Lied About Trump Calls to Military Parents informing them of the death of their sons..
It still amazes me how many people are willing to LIE for Trump--and to do it on national tv. !!
Posted on Tue, Sep 8th, 2020 by Todd Neikirk
Sarah Sanders Lied About Trump Calls to Military Parents
..............she told viewers:
"I've also sat in the room when the president had to make the most difficult calls of his presidency: when he had to let a parent know that their son had been killed in the line of duty. That's a call no president wants to make. And I also saw his commitment to the men and women of our great military."
That never happened according to the New York Times. Annie Karni writes, "Each branch of the military has its own protocols for notifying next of kin, but all require a field grade officer of equal or higher grade than the member whose death they are notifying to do so in person.".
She repeated a similar line on Good Morning America. Sanders told George Stephanopoulos, "I sat with him in the Oval Office as he had to make that awful call to let a parent know that their son had been killed in Afghanistan."
Stephanopoulos asked for a clarification and Sanders admitted she was talking about condolence calls........................

De Villiers to skip England, Bangladesh Tests
Johannesburg: South African batting star AB de Villiers' absence from Test cricket will extend until late this year after he told journalists on Wednesday that he will miss the series against England and Bangladesh.
He had already announced at a one-day series launch on Tuesday that he had decided not to make himself available for a Test series in New Zealand in March.
De Villiers did not take questions on Tuesday but held a press conference on Wednesday where he said his absence from Test cricket would extend to a four-Test series in England during the South African winter as well as two matches against Bangladesh in September and October.
The South African one-day captain will continue to be available for one-day internationals during this period as he concentrates on his goal of leading South Africa at the 2019 World Cup in England.
De Villiers, who turns 33 next month, said he planned to return to Test cricket for home series against India and Australia at the end of 2017, going into 2018.
"I don't expect to just walk back into the Test side," he said. "I am prepared to make my comeback with the Titans (his South African franchise) and make a contribution for them and prove that I am good enough."
De Villiers, who became a father in 2015 and whose wife is expecting a second child, said his life priorities had changed.
"It is definitely not the end of the story but I need time to get myself ready for the Tests at the end of the year."
De Villiers said he was looking forward to captaining South Africa in a one-day series against Sri Lanka starting next week but said he felt nervous after more than six months out of the game.
"I am always nervous before a series but after a long lay-off like this I want to prove that I can still play. I am very motivated to do well."
Although he is cutting back from his Test appearances, De Villiers will continue to play in the lucrative Indian Premier League.
"It has almost become part of the ICC (International Cricket Council) schedule but I won't commit to any of the other Twenty20 tournaments like the Caribbean Premier League or the (Australian) Big Bash."
He indicated that he and other South African team players might return from the IPL early in order to prepare for the Champions Trophy in England in June.
De Villiers said he felt almost fully recovered from the elbow injury which has prevented him from playing since July.
"I had surgery three months ago so I am still aware of it. I can play all of my shots but there are one or two shots that I feel more than others."

Just How Big is the World's "Biggest Data Breach?"

If you keep up with tech news, chances are you have heard about the discovery of a very large data breach earlier this month. But just how big is it and what should you do about it? I've compiled the following facts for your consideration.
It's Not as Bad as it Seems
When news first broke that over 272 million email usernames and passwords had been hacked and were currently being peddled by Russian hackers, it caused quite a stir. However, email services were quick to offers assurances that they had not been hacked. Instead, hackers had accessed a number of third-party platforms and had compiled a large quantity of email addresses and matching passwords over an extended period of time. Hold Security, the firm that first broke the big hack story, confirmed email services' accounts, noting that the large trove of email addresses and passwords came from a "collection of multiple breaches over time".
What is more, most of the email addresses and passwords that were put up for sale are no longer valid. Google has noted that 98% of all Gmail addresses and passwords were not valid. Mail.ru, Russia's largest email service provider, found that only .018 of all email and password combinations were correct and current.
Are You in Danger?
If you read the above clarification and are breathing a sigh of relief, don't. While the "world's biggest hack" is not nearly as big as it initially sounded, the fact is that there is certainly cause for concern. If 98% of Google's breached email data was no longer valid, then this would indicate that 2% of this data does in fact consist of valid email username and password combinations. If only .018% of all Mail.ru's listed email and password combinations are right, it still represents a breach of about 1,000 email accounts. While Yahoo and other email service providers have not provided information regarding the validity of the hacked email accounts, it is not unrealistic to estimate that tens of thousands of email and passwords have been compromised.
What is more, these breaches make it possible for hackers to access other accounts. You may feel your account is sure; however, it really isn't if one of your business contacts or family members has been hacked. This same point applies if someone on your email list is on the email list for someone who has been hacked. Hackers are notorious for using information from one account to engineer future break-ins.
What Can I Do about It?
If you are concerned about this large-scale dissemination of information, consider taking the following steps:
Change the password for all your email accounts, and be sure to pick a brand new password that you have never used for any other account.
If you used you email password for other accounts (i.e. social media accounts, cloud storage accounts, bank accounts, etc.), change the password, using a completely different password for each account.
Avoid sending sensitive information via email if at all possible.
Hacking has been around for quite some time and it will likely be around for the foreseeable future. While it is reassuring to know that there are not hundreds of millions of valid email and password combinations currently being sold online, I still highly recommend that you do everything in your power to make sure your account is secure, both now and in the future.

It's important to give your new house a good clean before you move in, and make it feel really yours. Read on for cleaning strategies!
It's hard to feel as if your beginning is new when other people's grime is polluting your surfaces! You'll notice the previous occupants' marks of habitation are primarily focused on the household fittings that are most commonly touched. Finish your thorough clean by addressing these areas with a multi-purpose cleaner like Jif Mulitpurpose Spray or a dedicated cleaner for the bathroom or kitchen like Jif Bathroom Spray Bathroom.
Start at the top and work your way down! Dusting the ceilings before cleaning the floors will prevent any dust and dirt from falling on newly cleaned floors so you don't have to clean them twice.


Yesterday evening I walked a further couple of kilometres from Vonoklasy and set up my tent on a patch of pasture. The head lamp I bought really came in handy.
There was a full moon creeping around in the sky and I felt a sense of inadvertent planned intention at the sight of it. I fell asleep and as the cliche goes, like a baby.
I woke up just after first light at 6:20am. After spending about 10 minutes warming up I got to work on the most important first step of the day: making my Italian morning coffee. It was around this time when I discovered that bringing a cup with me would have been a grand idea.
I made it to Karlstejn castle for around 8:30 and waited around until 9am to get the coveted Karlstejn stamp in my Pilgrim Passport.
I then walked for the remainder of the day – in rain and very strong facing winds – through a pretty non-descript landscape to Dobris, where I now sit with aching shoulders with a coffee and water and desperately trying to keep my eyes open long enough not to fall asleep. A tough day. Going to walk out of Dobsis shortly to find a patch of grass where I will set up my tent and fall instantly into a deep sleep.

Ryan Sharp On TD Drive, Falcons Top Miami 16-10

ATLANTA, GA - AUGUST 08: Bernard Reedy #89 of the Atlanta Falcons runs after a catch in the third quarter of a preseason game against the Miami Dolphins at the Georgia Dome on August 8, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)
ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Miami's Ryan Tannehill showed how starting quarterbacks should handle preseason openers.
Each had only one possession. Each completed every pass attempt on long touchdown drives. Each then turned the game over to backups who never found the end zone.
After the strong opening drive by Ryan, Sean Renfree led two field-goal drives in the second half and the Falcons held off the Dolphins 16-10 on Friday night in the preseason opener for both teams.
Rookie quarterback Seth Lobato led Miami to the Atlanta 5-yard line with less than 3 minutes remaining before fumbling a shotgun snap. Defensive end Nosa Eguae recovered for Atlanta.
Matt Bryant closed the first half with a 21-yard field goal and Sergio Castillo added field goals of 21 and 34 yards in the second half for Atlanta.
Tannehill was 6 for 6 for 62 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Gibson, to open the game.
Ryan was just as strong, completing each of his seven attempts for 53 yards on Atlanta's opening drive. Jacquizz Rodgers capped the drive with a 2-yard scoring run. Rodgers started as Steven Jackson is recovering from a left hamstring injury.
Ryan completed passes of 17 yards to Harry Douglas and 5 and 12 yards to Roddy White on the drive.
"We were able to run the ball pretty effectively, and when we did have the opportunity to throw, we were able to move the chains," Ryan said. "We were able to overcome a couple of penalties, we were able to keep going, and punch the ball into the end zone. It's exactly what you want for your first drive of the year."
Jones said connecting with White was "like riding a bike with him."
"We've done this together for a long time," Ryan said. "Roddy just has a knack for getting up and making plays."
T.J. Yates, the favorite to win the job as Ryan's top backup, looked poised in Atlanta's two-minute offense to set up Bryant's field goal. Yates completed 7 of 16 passes for 123 yards.
Yates is competing with Renfree, who led field-goal drives in the third and fourth quarters. Renfree, a second-year player from Duke, completed 6 of 15 passes for 108 yards.
Falcons rookie running back Devonta Freeman had 10 carries for 50 yards and one catch for 57 yards. Another rookie, Bernard Reedy, caught two passes for 61 yards.
Seth Lobato, an undrafted rookie from Northern Colorado, replaced Tannehill and completed 14 of 28 passes for 124 yards.
Lobato was next in line because quarterbacks Matt Moore (shoulder) and Pat Devlin (hamstring) were held out with injuries.
Miami rookie running back Damien Williams was carted off the field with an undisclosed injury late in the game. Williams was hurt on a run from the Atlanta 5-yard line.
Dolphins safety Reshad Jones, who on Friday was suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances, played with the other defensive starters.

Q: Is it possible to reference a set of cells the same way you reference a single cell? I have a table 2x5 cells that I want to make available for read only purposes on multiple worksheets. Is this possible to do in Excel?
I know I can give a name to a set of cells but I don't know how to insert that set.

A: Not sure what you mean by insert, but if you want to reference a named range, you just have to type the name of the range, e.g Sales05 / Sheet1!Sales05 (or Sheet1.Sales05 in Calc).
If you want to reference an unnamed range, you just put a colon between the endpoints of the range, e.g. A1:Z26 / Sheet1!A1:Z26 (or Sheet1.A1:Z26 in Calc).
If you want to display a range from one sheet in another range of cells on another sheet, then the easiest way I know of to do this would be to create a relative reference in the first cell of the display range to the first cell of the source range (e.g. Sheet1!A2); copy it; then just paste it into the rest of the range.
Unfortunately, there's no way to do this so that it automatically spreads into new cells when you increase the original range—at least not without scripting. So if you foresee the original range expanding in the future, it's best to just paste the relative reference into as many extra rows/columns as you think it might expand to.
You can, however, make named ranges auto-expand/contract using OFFSET():

*

*Expand down as many rows as there are numeric entries: =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNT($A:$A),1)

*Expand down as many rows as there are non-empty entries: =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A$A),1)

*Expand down to the last numeric entry: =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,MATCH(1E+306,$A:$A,1),1)

*Expand down to the last text entry: =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,MATCH("*",$A:$A,-1),1)
The above link also has formulas for expanding one row per month/week.

THE U.S. SENATE
From the Fundamentals of American Government series , Vol. 2
by Tom Daschle and Charles Robbins ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 2013
In the second in the publisher's Fundamentals of American Government series, former Senate Majority Leader Daschle (Getting it Done, 2010, etc.) and ex-congressional staffer Robbins collaborate to explain the Senate.
The authors contrast the rules under which the two legislative branches operate to illustrate their separate functions. They explain why even without the current partisan gridlock, the House of Representatives and the Senate are frequently at odds and how this was deliberately built into the Constitution by the Founding Fathers as a way to temper direct democracy. As part of the checks and balances built into the system, the functions of the two branches are complementary. For example, the Senate bears responsibility for confirming declarations of war and treaties and for the acceptance or rejection of presidential nominations for federal office, but in the case of an Electoral College tie, it is the House that chooses the next president. The rules and traditional practices of the two branches have evolved over time but still reflect their differently perceived functions. Daschle and Robbins show how this is exemplified by the role of speaker of the house, as compared to that of the Senate majority leader. The House functions as a collective body in which majority rule prevails, and the speaker controls the agenda and floor time allowed to representatives during a debate. Senate rules guard the privileges of each senator, encouraging prolonged debate, including the filibuster, in order to achieve compromise, holds on legislation, etc. The authors cover a wide range of topics, including committee and subcommittee structure and the role played by congressional staffers in shaping legislation.
Primarily intended for high school seniors and college freshman, but also a useful primer for a broader audience interested in learning about a government institution that is suffering from record-low approval ratings.

NOTES ON THE FIRST 150 YEARS IN AMERICA
by Ta-Nehisi Coates ‧ RELEASE DATE: July 8, 2015
The powerful story of a father's past and a son's future.
Atlantic senior writer Coates (The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons, and an Unlikely Road to Manhood, 2008) offers this eloquent memoir as a letter to his teenage son, bearing witness to his own experiences and conveying passionate hopes for his son's life. "I am wounded," he writes. "I am marked by old codes, which shielded me in one world and then chained me in the next." Coates grew up in the tough neighborhood of West Baltimore, beaten into obedience by his father. "I was a capable boy, intelligent and well-liked," he remembers, "but powerfully afraid." His life changed dramatically at Howard University, where his father taught and from which several siblings graduated. Howard, he writes, "had always been one of the most critical gathering posts for black people." He calls it The Mecca, and its faculty and his fellow students expanded his horizons, helping him to understand "that the black world was its own thing, more than a photo-negative of the people who believe they are white." Coates refers repeatedly to whites' insistence on their exclusive racial identity; he realizes now "that nothing so essentialist as race" divides people, but rather "the actual injury done by people intent on naming us, intent on believing that what they have named matters more than anything we could ever actually do." After he married, the author's world widened again in New York, and later in Paris, where he finally felt extricated from white America's exploitative, consumerist dreams. He came to understand that "race" does not fully explain "the breach between the world and me," yet race exerts a crucial force, and young blacks like his son are vulnerable and endangered by "majoritarian bandits." Coates desperately wants his son to be able to live "apart from fear—even apart from me."

by Paul Kalanithi ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 19, 2016
A neurosurgeon with a passion for literature tragically finds his perfect subject after his diagnosis of terminal lung cancer.
Writing isn't brain surgery, but it's rare when someone adept at the latter is also so accomplished at the former. Searching for meaning and purpose in his life, Kalanithi pursued a doctorate in literature and had felt certain that he wouldn't enter the field of medicine, in which his father and other members of his family excelled. "But I couldn't let go of the question," he writes, after realizing that his goals "didn't quite fit in an English department." "Where did biology, morality, literature and philosophy intersect?" So he decided to set aside his doctoral dissertation and belatedly prepare for medical school, which "would allow me a chance to find answers that are not in books, to find a different sort of sublime, to forge relationships with the suffering, and to keep following the question of what makes human life meaningful, even in the face of death and decay." The author's empathy undoubtedly made him an exceptional doctor, and the precision of his prose—as well as the moral purpose underscoring it—suggests that he could have written a good book on any subject he chose. Part of what makes this book so essential is the fact that it was written under a death sentence following the diagnosis that upended his life, just as he was preparing to end his residency and attract offers at the top of his profession. Kalanithi learned he might have 10 years to live or perhaps five. Should he return to neurosurgery (he could and did), or should he write (he also did)? Should he and his wife have a baby? They did, eight months before he died, which was less than two years after the original diagnosis. "The fact of death is unsettling," he understates. "Yet there is no other way to live."
A moving meditation on mortality by a gifted writer whose dual perspectives of physician and patient provide a singular clarity.

Born and raised in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, Anastasia Markina started playing piano at the age of four. Her first teacher, Tatyana Shrago, led her to win her first international competition in 1992 in Marsala, Italy. After graduating from Music School, she studied with Alexander Mndoyants and Maria Mekler. In 1994, Ms. Markina entered the Rimsky-Korsakov College of Music where she studied for four years with Professor Mary Guseva, former student of Pavel Serebryakov. During that time, she won several international piano competitions, including 1st prize at the 1st International Maria Yudina Piano Competition, 1st prize in solo and 1st prize in chamber music at the Beach of Hope International Music Festival and Competition in Dobrich-Albena, Bulgaria. In 1997 she was one of the top three prize winners at the Peter the Great Music Festival in Groningen, Holland.
After receiving her diploma with honors from the Rimsky-Korsakov College of Music, Saint-Petersburg, she was invited to study in the United States by Professor Victor Rosenbaum, renown teacher and pianist, and director of the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA. In 1999, she moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to continue her education at the University of North Texas, with Professor Vladimir Viardo (Gold medalist of the 1973 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition).
"Studying piano with Anastasia Markina is fantastic. I take a one hour lesson with her once a week. She's not afraid to poke fun at your playing and she is very detail oriented. You need to be able to take a joke to study with her. If you're looking for a teacher to bring your playing up to the next level - she's it."
"Ms. Markina has been my piano teacher for almost a year. She has many years of experience and is an amazing pianist. Ms. Markina teaches me from her house, and is very flexible regarding times that fit the students' schedules. She is a very energetic, and genuinely caring teacher who always wants the best for and from her students. Ms. Markina has many resources and is always willing to go above and beyond to get the best books, and she gives great musical advice. I am very glad that I have been able to have her as a teacher."
"Anastasia is very encouraging and always makes the learning process fun! While her standards and expectations are high, Anastasia has an endless supply of valuable tools to help me reach my goals. She weaves her great sense of humor and unique life experiences into her instruction, and she is a gifted teacher who makes me look forward to coming to her lessons. Even when I get frustrated, Anastasia finds a way to lift me up and make me laugh."
"The perfect teacher! My daughter has been working with her for a year and a half now. She is consistently motivated and excited to go to every lesson. She practices without being asked too and she always looks for ways to impress her. Anastasia keeps her challenged, rewards her efforts and pushes her to excel. I am very impressed with the education she is getting. She is not just learning to play the piano, but learning about music history, etiquette, and music theory, and so much more. Her time with Anastasia is well worth her fees and supplies. We hope to be with her for years to come!"

Senate Votes to Ban Bump Stocks and Trigger Cranks Multiple devices found after Las Vegas mass shooting
BOSTON-On Oct. 12, the Massachusetts Senate voted to ban bump stock and trigger cranks and classify them under the same general law that governs machine guns. The amendment, offered by Senator Cynthia Creem (D-Newton) establishes identical penalties, eighteen months to life in prison, for the use and possession of bump stocks and trigger cranks as current law holds for machine guns.
"Bump stocks and trigger cranks effectively change the nature of a semi-automatic weapon to make it into a machine gun. There is no legitimate purpose for the use, sale, and possession of these devices or than to cause as much damage as possible," said Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst). "Taking this action today protects public safety, provides ample time for residents to comply, and establishes sufficient penalties for violations."
"I hear time and time again from constituents about the need for commonsense solutions to reduce gun violence," said Senator Friedman (D-Arlington). "We took a step in the right direction today, and I'm proud of the Senate for taking swift action to ban 'bump stocks' and 'trigger cranks' in the wake of the Las Vegas tragedy. This amendment will make our communities safer and I sincerely hope that other states choose to follow our lead."
"This amendment is a necessary and appropriate response to the dangers inherent in these deadly devices," said Senator Cynthia Creem. "The horror of the mass shootings in Las Vegas is unfortunately just the latest incident which calls out for the adoption of more sensible gun laws both here and nationally."
"The Senate's bipartisan action means that those who are not appropriately licensed to possess devices that are in effect approximating a machine gun will be in violation of our state's comprehensive firearms laws," said Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester).
The amendment also instructs the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to notify licensed owners and manufacturers of bump stocks and trigger cranks of the effective date of the changes.
Bump stocks use the recoil power of a weapon to effectively increase the rate of fire to make the gun a fully automatic assault weapon, which have been illegal in Massachusetts since 1994. On Sunday October 1, fifty-eight people were murdered and hundreds injured by alleged killer Stephen Paddock at a Las Vegas country music festival. Law enforcement found multiple bump stocks and trigger cranks in Paddock's hotel room where the shooting originated.
The House of Representative passed a similar bump stock ban and the two versions will be reconciled before being sent to the Governor's desk for his signature.

Microsoft has rebranded its online Office Web Apps to Office Online in an effort to make the product less confusing to consumers. The Redmond-based company has also made it easier for newcomers to discover Office Online as many people aren't aware that online versions of Microsoft's Office products even exist.
In a blog post on the matter, Office Online product marketing manager Amanda Lefebvre said they've heard from customers that the inclusion of Apps in the name was confusing. Some wondered if they had to install something or if they needed to go to an app store to retrieve them - both are valid questions for someone not in the know.
With the new name, consumer confusion should be a thing of the past.
Additionally, Microsoft has made Office Online easier to access. Previously, users had to log into their OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) account to get started. Now, simply head over to the new dedicated Office Online landing page and hop right in to Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote. Users can also quickly access Outlook.com e-mail and OneDrive via the included app switcher without having to navigate in and out of various services.
The new location should help consumers figure out exactly where to find Office Online.
Microsoft has also added in hundreds of templates for Word, PowerPoint and Excel that can help you go from nothing to something with just a click. These include budgets, resumes, calendars and more, all free of charge.

Mary Soon Lee, "The Sign of the Dragon" (Jaberwocky, 2020)
First place winner of the 2021 Elgin Award, The Sign of the Dragon by Mary Soon Lee (Jaberwocky, 2020) is an epic fantasy about a young king who must defend his kingdom against a number of outside forces, both human and terrifyingly otherworldly. Lee draws from Chinese culture to create a legendary figure in King Xau, one of honor, nobility, and subtle magic. With light, clean, and lyrical language, these poems shape an epic story of heroism and humanity. "Who saw them raft over the river, three hours before daybreak? Who saw their half-dark lanterns glimmer on helmut and shield? The heron in the reeds; the crane startled to air." — from "Crossing", The Sign of the Dragon Mary Soon Lee was born and raised in London, but now lives in Pittsburgh. She writes both fiction and poetry, and has won the Rhysling Award and the Elgin Award. Her two latest books are from opposite ends of the poetry spectrum: Elemental Haiku, containing haiku for each element of the periodic table, and The Sign of the Dragon, an epic fantasy with Chinese elements. Andrea Blythe bides her time waiting for the apocalypse by writing speculative poetry and fiction. Learn more about your ad choices.

Matthew C. Kruger, "What The Living Know: A Novel of Suicide and Philosophy" (Nfb Publishing, 2020)
Now that science has granted eternal life and youth to all, the world is a place of endless opportunity to live out one's dreams and fulfill one's desires. With death unnecessary, it becomes optional and suicide is celebrated when chosen. However the main character, 10,000 year old Warren, has fought off the urge to die but begins to contemplate making this choice for himself. Matthew C. Kruger's book What The Living Know: A Novel of Suicide and Philosophy (Nfb Publishing, 2020) tackles questions such as: How many times can you send someone on their way and not start to feel as if it might be your time to go? How much life will you live before you come to say "that's enough for me"? Or, through it all, will your love for life always endure? Our conversation discusses the importance of, not just having a philosophy, but having a lived and embodied philosophy: one that's procedural and takes into account the messiness and hardships of each and every day. While the book is a hard read mentally -- and perhaps spiritually -- it comes to the beautiful and paradoxical conclusion that there might not be a point to living but there's no point in dying either, that life is worth living, and that you should let yourself be moved and transformed through struggle. Not easy, certainly, but worthwhile. Sarah Kearns (@annotated_sci) reads about scholarship, the sciences, and philosophy, and is likely over-caffeinated. Learn more about your ad choices.

72 Caryl Phillips Speaks with Corina Stan
Our second January Novel Dialogue conversation is with Caryl Phillips, professor of English at Yale and world-renowned for novels ranging from The Final Passage to 2018's A View of the Empire at Sunset. He shares his thoughts on transplantation, on performance, on race, even on sports. Joining him here are John and the wonderful comparatist Corina Stan, author of The Art of Distances: Ethical Thinking in 20th century Literature. If you enjoy this conversation, range backwards through the RtB archives for comparable talks with Jennifer Egan, Helen Garner, Orhan Pamuk, Zadie Smith, Samuel Delany and many more. It's a rangy conversation. John begins by raving about Caryl's italics–he in turn praises Faulkner's. Corina and Caryl explore his debt (cf. his The European Tribe) to American writers like Richard Wright and James Baldwin. Meeting Baldwin was scary–back in those days before there were "writers besporting themselves on every university campus." Caryl praises the joy of being a football fan (Leeds United), reflects on his abiding loyalty to his class and geographic origins and his fondness for the moments of Sunday joy that allow people to endure. John raises Orhan Pamuk's claim (In Novel Dialogue last season) that the novel is innately middle-class; Caryl says that it's true that as a form it has always taken time and money to make–and to read. But "vicars and middle class people fall in love, too; they get betrayed and let down…a gamut of emotion that's as wide as anybody else." He remains drawn to writers haunted by the past: Eliot, W.G. Sebald, the huge influence of Faulkner trying to stitch the past to the present. Mentioned in the Episode James Baldwin, Blues for Mister Charley, The Fire Next Time Richard Wright, Native Son Johnny Pitts, Afropean Caryl Phillips, Dancing in the Dark J. M. Coetzee, "What We like to Forget" (On Caryl Phillips) Graham Greene (e.g Brighton Rock and The Quiet American) wrote in "The Lost Childhood" (1951) that at age 14 " I took Miss Marjorie Bowen's The Viper of Milan from the library shelf…From that moment I began to write."

OTHER NEWS, OUR FINDINGS
The Beautiful Town of Bihac built on an Artificial Island
July 31, 2020 3:00 PM by Y.Z
Besides Sarajevo and Jajce, no other Bosnian town is as historically interesting as Bihac.
In the town center are numerous cultural and historical monuments that are bear witnesses to its rich history, interwoven with different cultures, customs, and religions.
There is not enough data on how Bihac looked in the 13th century. Historians know that in this period town had seven churches, including the largest city church of St. Antun.
"Based on recent data, particularly those from the 16th century, it can be concluded that Bihac was built on an artificial island, surrounded by walls with round and rectangular loopholes. Bihac fortress had a conical roof, which is visible from the medieval coat of arms. The town had entrances through three gates: those towards Izacic, Zavalj and Una. Based on the contents of one document from the late 14th century, it is evident that the seal of medieval Bihac consists of three towers and the middle one had a flag. The same motif had a medieval coat of arms of the city of Bihac," says Juric.
Since the history of the city is interwoven with different cultures, religions, and customs, each of these cultures left an indelible mark on it.
Cultural and historical heritage makes Bihac attractive to lovers of universal values. Captain's Tower, St. Antun of Padua, once one of the largest Catholic places of worship, turbe that dates from the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bihac (built in honor of the fallen defenders of the city), mosque Fethija and walls that still defy time are recalling the old days of pride and glory, and these are the most valuable cultural and historical monuments in the center of town.
When you walk past the mausoleum that is located on the tower of the former Catholic church and next to graves of Bihac nobles and knights, the first thing to ask yourself is who is buried here and who built this tomb.
Midzic says the founder and builder of this tomb is Mehmed Pasha Biscevic, the captain of Bihac, and the information that he was the creator of this work can be found in the magazine Nada from 1901.
There are several historic monuments of great value in the town. These monuments, along with the remains of walls that once surrounded the city while protecting it from the invasion of the enemy, are witnesses of turbulent, but the heroic history of Bihac.
It is not surprising that these monuments attract curious tourists who visit Bihac and Krajina because of its natural beauty, but also the cultural values that are a combination of the multinational identity of Bihac.

Jorge Masvidal has offered to take on his fellow welterweight contender Darren Till in his home-country of England at UFC London in March.
And given the reception he received for his first headlining booking at UFC Liverpool, it's not a stretch to imagine that the former welterweight title-challenger will be a shoo-in to take the top slot on the card.
Till is without an opponent at present and hasn't been seen in action since his UFC 228 loss to reigning champion Tyron Woodley. And while he has entertained the idea of a move to the middleweight division – the signs do point to 'The Gorilla' taking another fight at 170lbs in the near future.
The always-game Jorge Masvidal called out Till for a showdown on English soil via Twitter today and to be honest, it's a phenomenal stylistic clash.
Masvidal was linked with a fight against the returning Nick Diaz at UFC 235 for a while but it appears as though that matchup has been scrapped due to the Stockton-native's apparent dissatisfaction with the UFC.
As of right now, the Liverpudlian Till is yet to issue his response but we're sure he will no doubt jump at the opportunity to headline another massive show in his home-country.

Mutation and the evolution of recombination

Under the classical view, selection depends more or less directly on mutation: standing genetic variance is maintained by a balance between selection and mutation, and adaptation is fuelled by new favourable mutations. Recombination is favoured if it breaks negative associations among selected alleles, which interfere with adaptation. Such associations may be generated by negative epistasis, or by random drift (leading to the Hill-Robertson effect). Both deterministic and stochastic explanations depend primarily on the genomic mutation rate, U. This may be large enough to explain high recombination rates in some organisms, but seems unlikely to be so in general. Random drift is a more general source of negative linkage disequilibria, and can cause selection for recombination even in large populations, through the chance loss of new favourable mutations. The rate of species-wide substitutions is much too low to drive this mechanism, but local fluctuations in selection, combined with gene flow, may suffice. These arguments are illustrated by comparing the interaction between good and bad mutations at unlinked loci under the infinitesimal model.

Q: Time Difference in asp.net C# I am creating a quiz and I want to calculate the time a user spends on a particular  section.I tried by calculating the difference between the page load time and the submit button click but as soon as the button is clicked the page refreshes(AutoPostBack=true) and the difference is zero. Is there a way I can calculate the time.
Below is the code for the following I am using.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dtAlgebraLoad = DateTime.Now;
    lblTime.Text = dtAlgebraLoad.ToString();
}

protected void btnAlgebraNext_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dtAlgebraNext = DateTime.Now;
    //timeSpan = dtAlgebraNext.Subtract(dtAlgebraLoad);
    Label1.Text = dtAlgebraNext.ToString();
    //Cal time duration between page and button Click
}

A: You can store the value in Session but instead of that try to call javascript function on button click and implement the necessary logic in that function and bind the calculated difference to the label by using

document.getElementbyId("Label1")

A: Since web clients are very disconnected, I would store the Start Date/Time the user enters the section, then a LastActivity date on all subsequent calls when interacting with the section. This will allow you to see when the user last did something and when they started, giving you a duration, otherwise the duration may be left open ended.

A: Here is a pure JS solution to show the elapsed time (using jQuery to display it). Let this code run on page load. If you bind the result to an input tag, you can also post it back to the server.
The advantage is that the user always sees the currently elasped time.

var start = new Date();

setInterval(function() {
    var msElapsed = new Date() - start;
    var dateObj = new Date(msElapsed);
    var elapsedTime = dateObj.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
    $('#elapsedTimeDisplay').val(elapsedTime);
}, 1000);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

<label for="elapsedTimeDisplay">Elapsed time:</label>
<input id="elapsedTimeDisplay" type="text" readonly="readonly"/>

A: Add a hidden  field in aspx
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hdnStartTime">

I page load
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
   if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
   {
      hdnStartTime.Value = DateTime.Now;
   }
 }

Use hdnStartTime.Value to find difference.

A: Try this
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
   if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
   {
      dtAlgebraLoad = DateTime.Now;
      lblTime.Text = dtAlgebraLoad.ToString();
   }
 }
