God bless Liam Gallagher. He is the last of his kind in many ways. He is brash, he is funny, he is controversial, he is unapologetic, he is uncompromising. He is the last rock star. Sure there are other rock stars. But none that carry the spirit of the '70s rock star, the hard partying, the in your face, the rock star that lives the rock lifestyle.
Just listen to this short passage: "I never want to become a f**king muso, where you just go out on stage and then go, 'Oh, what have you done?' And I've just, been at home f**king eating tofu. And f**king drinking apple cider vinegar, and I'm going to play you songs for two hours, now." That bores the **it out of me. You've got to still mean it, man."
Who still talks like that? No one. And rock is much more boring for it. The funny thing is as I talk to Gallagher he talks of being a devoted family man, of now suffering hangovers. At 47 he is thankfully not still living the hard-partying lifestyle.
He has a superb new solo album, Why Me? Why Not? He just played some U.S. dates with the Who. He is happy. Surprisingly when talk of reuniting with his brother Noel for the return of Oasis comes up, he doesn't tell me to f**k off.
He says, "If it happens, it happens. It'd be nice. Me mom would like to see us on stage again. I'd much prefer to be a brother with my brother than to go around touring with him, hating each other and just cutting the coin. I wouldn't do that. F**k that."
Enjoy the last of his kind, Liam Gallagher.
Steve Baltin: I was just reading the interview you did with Billboard, and one of the things you talked about is that people still expect you to have the hedonistic lifestyle, and people will come up to you and they'll ask you for a beer, ask you for a shot. But you also have slowed down.
Gallagher: You've got to take everything in moderation, don't you? I mean, I do like to get out and run every now and again, but then, I also like to go and spend my days in the pub and get absolutely f**king leathered, and smoke till the cows come home. I don't smoke weed and all that. Every now and again, if there's a passing train through I might jump on it. The groovy train, as they say, and that. But then, I don't stay on it too long, because these hangovers take too long. I'm still partying and that, but I'm certainly not doing it like 48 hours and s**t. That voice that used to be very quiet in the night that would go, "Go to bed," is pretty loud now. The voice now that tells me I go bed, I can hear it a lot easier and a lot clearer. It just goes, "Go to bed," and I go, "Okay." Which is a shame, because I thought I'd have got a lot more deafer as I got older. But I haven't. My hearing's got a lot f**king better, which is a f**king shame.
Baltin: In terms of your hearing it could have gone the other way. You're doing these shows with the Who. Look at Pete Townsend and his tinnitus
Gallagher: Buzzing to play with them, man, it's f**king been amazing. Amazing. I can't believe that they sing and they play for two and a half hours on each night. Not that I would want to if I could, because I think it's a bit long. Anyone playing for f**king two and a half hours, he's mental. I think the perfect time for the gig for me is an hour and 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and that's me pushing it. An hour, perfect. But yeah, fair play to him that he still feel it, and still that they can do it, you know what I mean?
Baltin: Was there a moment where you realize that those hangovers take longer to cure, and all of a sudden you're just like, "When did this happen?"
Gallagher: I'll tell you when it happened. I f**king remember it. It happened, and just like that. I used to get up in the morning and go, "I'm going to the f**king pub right now, 11 o'clock." And now when I go in there and about 37 I just went "Oh, f**k, I'm at a f**king pub. I think I'm going to stay in bed all day." That's when it happened.
Baltin: Do you find as you are happier you're also appreciating music more?
Gallagher: Yeah. But, obviously I appreciate the lifestyle of this rock and roll business, without a doubt, because that's important to appreciate. I never want to just do music There's rock and roll stars, and there's musicians. I know loads of musicians that ain't rock and roll stars. And I would never want to be that. I think I've got a good balance. The rock and roll star side of it is very important to me, as much as just sitting down and writing a f**king song. If I never wrote another f**king song I get someone else to write it and I'll sing it. So it is important that I do exactly what it says on the tin as much as I can.
Baltin: But at the same time, you can hear in Why Me? Why Not? which is a great record, there's still that passion there. There's still that fire.
Gallagher: Like I said, if you can get the balance right, there's no point being a rock and roll star if you ain't got any music, either, because then you're just dreaming, aren't you? So it is nice to get a balance, but yeah, the lifestyle is equally as important as the music. Well, I know a lot of people go, "F**k the lifestyle. It's all about the music." Well, it ain't, for me.
Baltin: For you, who are those artists that had the perfect balance of the lifestyle and the music?
Gallagher: Keith Moon. He knew how to play the drums, and he knew how to party. John Lennon wasn't much of a party man. He sort of chilled towards the end of the- And I'm sure it will happen, but you won't catch me making f**king bread at any point. Listen, man, I'm lucky to still be here, And obviously, Keith Moon's dead and that, but I think Keith Moon had it. He loved playing them drums, man, and he played them well. But he went out and partied as well.
Baltin: There's something about the drummer. Look at John Bonham as well.
Gallagher: John Bonham as well. So yeah, as long as you can get on stage and move some people, and that, and do your thing, it's good. I'd f**king hate to be AA. I'd hate it. The thought of having to go on stage and just be stone cold sober. I don't drink when I go on stage, anyway, but imagine having to live that lifestyle. But AA, f**king hell, just shoot me now. I couldn't handle it. I'd have to get another job. Maybe a florist or something that would go with my non-drinking. If someone said tonight, "You can't drink anymore," or, "You can't smoke, or you can't f**k about anymore," there's no point of being a rocker. What's the f**king point, man? You're just faking it. Might as well just go and be a librarian or something. Or go and make tofu.
Baltin: For this album are there particular songs, maybe, that you haven't done yet that you're really excited to do live, and see how they translate to the stage?
Gallagher: Yeah, well we've done a bit of rehearsing in and that one before we come out. We've done "Shockwaves," we've done "Once," we've done "The River," we've got a few more we're going to do, we're not going to play the whole album back in England. We'll play about five or six, maybe six off the other one, and then maybe 10 Oasis songs. Gotta give the people what they want. So it's a good mix, man.
Baltin: Are there songs that you've been particularly surprised or pleasantly surprised to see how much an audience gravitates to them?
Gallagher: You want everyone to have a good time, and I don't get that, the people who'd go on stage and play their obscure hits and that and everyone's stood there f**king snoring. I just don't see the point. You sort of think, "Well, who's the most important person? Is it me or is it you? Or is it the fans?" And to me, at the end of the day I think it is the people that are coming to see you. I can't be getting up there and playing songs that I want to play. They're not going to jump around, so yeah you've to play what they want, man. When you're 20 years of age, and you've got a bag of chips on your shoulder, you do what you f**king want, don't you? And then people sort of go with the flow and that, but as you get to 47 and you look at still be here doing it. So I think it's time to drop the attitude and play what the people want.
Baltin: Are there artists for you that you really admire for their stage show in the way they handle that?
Gallagher: The Stones and the Who. Listen, I would love to be able to sing for two and a half hours, but I just couldn't do it, man. I don't know. For me, listen, I think a lot of the old brigade, that's what they did. But I think a lot of the younger people that come later, it wasn't about being on there for a long time. It was about just getting on there and making a f**king statement. The Pistols and stuff, and the bands that I went, The Stone Roses, they'd only play for an hour. If it was down to me, I'd be doing an hour gig, smashing, grab mine and get the f**k out and leave them wanting more.
Baltin: That's interesting that you say making a statement, because it's funny, obviously with Oasis, you made a statement. The second solo album, what is the statement you want people to take from the show and the album now?
Gallagher: I don't know, but I've done everything I've come to do. Oasis was the thing, so now I just want to just sing well, do a good gig, and want them to have a good time as much as me. I've got no big idea where I'm meant to be. I just want to keep making music for as long as it can. I've done everything I kind of wanted you to do.
Baltin: When you're in the midst of it, you don't have the appreciation. You don't have the perspective. So was there a moment where you realized that you'd done everything you wanted to do?
Gallagher: I wasn't making music for four years, because I spilled a lot of milk on a personal level, personal life, I missed it f**king loads. I was like, "How the f**k am I going to get back up on the stage and sing these songs?" Hopefully people still want to hear me voice and that, so I had to go and do this solo thing and then I did it, and it worked out well. And so yeah, I'm just glad that people still want to hear me sing or shout or scream or whatever it is I do.
Baltin: So was it that four year period where you realized you really did want to continue to make music?
Gallagher: Yeah. I was missing it and it was like "F**king hell, it's the only thing I can actually do, that I'm half good at." So it was like "I need to get back in there." And I have got to be a bit of humble pie, which is fine. Get rid of a few chips off my shoulder because I had a bag of them through my twenties, which is fine, because everyone else does. But as you get into your forties and that you're thinking, "I need to just chill the f**k out a bit and get back in." But it's all good, man. I'm buzzing to be back on the stage singing songs. So it doesn't matter how you get there.
Baltin: Are there Oasis songs that you particularly enjoy revisiting or that you have a different appreciation for?
Gallagher: We've been going back and doing a few of the old ones, but I've always had the utmost respect for them songs, man. And they always meant everything to me, and they still mean the exact same as what they meant back then. I put my heart and soul into singing them, so I never went at them lightly. It is nice to go back to them and still feel that you can still sing them. And once you get it out of the way, you go, "I can still do that too," Not as good, but I've always had the utmost respect for them songs. I like doing "Rock And Roll Star." I would never leave home without that one, I like doing "Morning Glory." I like "Slide Away," "Columbia," "Live Forever," "Champagne Supernova" All of them. I like them all, man.
Baltin: As I mentioned, it's hard when you're in the midst of something to get that perspective.
Gallagher: You are right. It's a bubble, isn't it? You don't know whether you're enjoying it or not. You're just f**king doing it, because you've been sent to do it. But then when you look back at it you think, "I wish I could have enjoyed it a little bit more or had a little bit more respect for it." But I do think I do respect it.
Baltin: Can you step back now and see why the songs connected with people so deeply and why Oasis was so massive?
Gallagher: We're only big in England, really. It wasn't that f**king big. That's why I've got the up about it, and when people go, people say around me, "Oasis big," we weren't the biggest band in the world. F**king Coldplay are bigger than us out here. Muse are bigger than us out here. Fuckin**1975 are bigger. We have a lot more work to do. We're the biggest f**king thing since sliced bread in England. We were the biggest thing in England for a long time, but we had a lot more work to do as a band, worldwide, to be walking around thinking you're the biggest band in the world. There's bigger bands in England that are bigger outside of England than us. Muse f**king play stadiums in LA. We never played stadiums in there. We played arenas. We just said that we were the biggest band in the world. A lot of people believed us, but we weren't, looking back at it. So hence why I'm saying our kid sits there and goes, "Oh no, we done what we came to f**king do." We could have been the biggest and we weren't, so shame on him. With Oasis wasn't just whether we were big, we were big characters as well that traveled as well. That traveled a while and the look and all that. So I think that is a lot of the thing that's missing. A lot of people in England, no one's walking around in England dressed like Chris Martin. No one was walking around England dressed like Muse. We had a look as well. We weren't the biggest band in the world. We're far from it. And that gives me the f**king rage to sing.
Baltin: Could you have admitted that 20 years ago though?
Gallagher: I would never have admitted it 20 years ago, but I knew it. I knew it as well, deep down, I knew that we have to do, we had to keep making great records to put the groundwork in, course.
Baltin: But you're in a happy place, you're making music.
Gallagher: I'm in a happy place with kids, cool, I'm cool, selling out big gigs in England, supporting my child or their old bands and stuff. All is good. I'm not after being big. I'm not after that now. I'm just up here to keep singing songs and make good records.
Baltin: But with unfinished business does that make you think about a reunion?
Gallagher: I would never do it for the money. I've got enough money. I never did it for the money anyway. Oasis was getting out of Manchester, going and seeing the world, having fun, It was never about the money. I only did it for money, because I knew there was some other company that was taking 20%, and he was making money. If you stop taking our money, we'll all do it for nothing. So if you get into getting Oasis back, and listen, I'd much prefer to be a brother with my brother than to go around touring with him, hating each other and just cutting the coin. I wouldn't do that. F**k that.
Baltin: But you've said that it's never going to happen.
Gallagher: I don't care if it happens or not. If it happens, it happens. It'd be nice. Me mom would like to see us on stage again. It's not about the money, but I'm quite happy doing my thing. People are coming to my gigs in England, and it's going off and they're leaving like it's an Oasis gig. There's people jumping up and down f**king smashing bottles on each other, setting fire to each other, and it's a rock thing, so I'm getting my kicks that way.

P360 Acquires Another Facility in Hattiesburg
Jackson MS – P360 Performance Sports announced today that it has acquired another baseball academy and organization to further expand the Sox Baseball brand. Based in Jackson, P360 has been the home of Sox baseball for 11 years, with over 40 Sox teams in Jackson and Hattiesburg.
Mississippi Elite Baseball, based in Hattiesburg, has entered into a merger agreement with P360 Performance Sports, including the addition of its 25,000 square foot facility which provides professional baseball training to players from 8 years old to college. It will be rebranded under the P360 banner, and its youth and high school showcase teams will join the growing Sox Baseball brand next Spring. The transaction is effective December 3rd.
P360 Performance Sports was founded by Chris Snopek, the former Ole Miss All-American and All-SEC player. He played professionally for the Chicago White Sox, which drafted him in the 6th round from Ole Miss. "Our goal has always been to reach players and teach them the game. To help them unlock their potential as a baseball player…no matter what that potential may be", stated Snopek. "This is a game of people and adding quality people to our organization only makes it better. Drew Mattison is one of those people".
Drew Mattison founded Mississippi Elite Baseball 7 years ago. Serving as the Athletic Director and Baseball Coach at Lamar Christian, Mattison has a strong baseball background. "Chris Snopek has built an outstanding and growing organization. It is a great fit for our coaches and teams and I really wanted to be a part of it. It was an easy decision," said Mattison. As part of the transaction, immediate upgrades to the facility will get underway in December, along with the P360 Hitting and Pitching Instruction programs that will be introduced in January.
The Mississippi Elite transaction comes on the heels of the merger with 59 Baseball in Hattiesburg on November 1st. Adding the facility allows the company to provide a more robust offering for baseball instruction while continuing to build its roster of teams. Known nationally for its player development, Sox teams have won two national championships with over 800 players moving to the next level collegiately and professionally. The facility will be home to almost 20 Sox teams initially in the Hattiesburg area.

Review of Eluktronics PA71HS-G Premium powered by the Slant community.
What are the best high-end gaming laptops?
At this price, the Eluktronics P650RS offers a lot of features, performance, and quality compared to competitors. Gaming laptops with a GTX 1070 usually cost $100 or more and might not have the same level of build quality or other features found in this laptop.
The case is made from a very durable plastic with a metal finish that does not feel cheap or flimsy to the touch.
Both the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 versions of this laptop offer excellent performance when gaming. The P650RS consistently hits 80+ FPS in most AAA games at ultra settings. For example, the GTX 1070 version can play Total War: Warhammer at 100FPS on 1080p with ultra settings. While the GTX 1060 version can play Battlefield 4 at 80FPS on ultra settings.
Even the relatively cheaper version of the P650RS with the GTX 1060 can pack a punch.
The two speakers packed in this laptop are pretty good, especially when compared with previous models. They provide reasonable bass and the mids have both good richness and deepness to them.
The keyboard is pretty good. It's backlit with programmable colors. The tactile feedback is decent across all keys and the travel length is about the average (1.5mm) for this kind of laptop.
The Eluktronics P650RS uses a IPS display panel which is decent in itself but could and should probably be better for this price point.
Where it lacks specifically is in terms of contrast, colours, and response time. There's also some light bleeding when looking at a completely black screen.
Even when using this laptop for light activities such as web browsing, watching movies, or editing documents it averages at about three hours of independent use. This was measured at about 40% screen brightness so it would be much lower at a higher brightness.
When it's used for gaming then the average battery life drops to less than two hours of independent use because of the relatively high resource requirements that both the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 have.
When trying to scroll up or down by using two fingers there are some synchronization issues with the touchpad.
Since the cool air is sucked from the bottom of the laptop, the bottom needs to stay above the sitting surface at all times.
But even when this advice is followed, the P650RS still has some issues with overheating. The center and left parts of the keyboard are the most problematic ones. It's not unusual for the keyboard to heat so much as it starts being a bit uncomfortable to use.
Even though they provide good sound, the P650RS-G speakers are not loud at all.

Bush Refocusing on Iraq, Economy Amid Low Approval Rating
Scott Stearns
President Bush is trying to counter low poll numbers by refocusing public attention on Iraq and his efforts to improve the U.S. economy. Democrats say the president's plans to overhaul the U.S. pension program will hurt small farmers.
White House officials say the president is launching a campaign to sharpen the focus on two of the biggest concerns for Americans, the war in Iraq and the economy at home.
Coming off a week of public opinion polls that show some of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency, Mr. Bush used his weekly radio address to remind Americans of the link he has made between the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
"We went to war because we were attacked, and we are at war today because there are still people out there who want to harm our country and hurt our citizens," said President Bush. "Some may disagree with my decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power, but all of us can agree that the world's terrorists have now made Iraq a central front in the war on terror."
The latest CBS News / New York Times public opinion poll shows only 37 percent of Americans approve of the president's handling of the war in Iraq. That's down from 45 percent in February.
The poll says two thirds of Americans feel the country is going in the wrong direction, and just over half disapprove of the way Mr. Bush is doing his job.
The president says he does not pay attention to poll numbers, and remains focused on his agenda. Nonetheless, White House Spokesman Scott McClellan says the president will start talking more about Iraq in the coming weeks. On Friday, the president meets with Iraq's prime minister, and the following Tuesday, he gives a speech on the one-year anniversary of the transfer of sovereignty in Iraq.
Mr. Bush used his Saturday radio address to begin sharpening that focus at a time when Americans are increasingly concerned about continuing U.S. casualties. More than 1,700 American troops have died in Iraq in just over two years.
The president says it is not an easy mission, and will not be accomplished overnight, but he will settle for nothing less than victory.
"Our troops are fighting these terrorists in Iraq, so you will not have to face them here at home," he said. "We mourn every one of these brave men and women who have given his or her life for our liberty. The terrorists know they cannot defeat our troops, so they seek to weaken our nation's resolve."
The president is also trying to refocus public attention on an improving U.S. economy and his plans to reform the federal retirement program, known as Social Security. After four months of White House campaigning for changes to Social Security, the CBS News / New York Times poll shows only one quarter of Americans approve of the president's plan.
In the Democratic radio address, North Carolina Congressman Bob Etheridge says the plan would hurt small farmers, who depend more heavily on Social Security, because most fund their own retirement instead of relying on private sector employee accounts.
The president wants to allow younger workers to invest part of their Social Security taxes in financial markets, in the hopes of gaining a higher rate of return.
Mr. Bush appears to be losing legislative momentum on Social Security, with Congressional Democrats largely united in opposing private accounts. Some members of the president's own party say the upfront cost of switching to private accounts is too high at a time of growing deficits.

Q: How to access Ivy directly, i.e. access dependency reports or execute Ivy commands? SBT uses Ivy under the hood for dependencies.  Ivy can generate lots of dependency reports.  How can I get access to that via SBT?
In general, if I want to use an Ivy command via SBT, how can I do it? Can I generate a POM from the SBT dependencies?
UPDATE: My goal is to debug and manually fine tune problems, not to be part of any automated tasks
UPDATE 2: To debug, I'd like to see the whole transitive dependency chain, not just the top level dependencies.

A: There are several options when debugging dependencies.
Using sbt-dependency-graph
You can use whatDependsOn <organization> <module> <revision> command to see where the dependency is used.
For example I have a transitive dependency to org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.0.1. To see what includes it I can use whatDependsOn.

Just using sbt
I think the fact that the reports are produced is a cool and underestimated feature. They are generated in the target/resolution-cache/reports directory, after the update task.
This is step by step guide on how to use them.
Clean project

Run update and go to target/resolution-cache/reports

Open any of the XML files with Firefox
This part is a bit tricky, for some reason some browsers will render the correct report, and some will read the file as an XML file. Not sure why it is like that, but for sure Firefox works well. Doesn't really matter which file you'll open as you can switch between them using tabs in the rendered page.

A: Run the package task, and it will produce the POM in the target\scala* directory.

Q: how to use direction angle and speed to calculate next time's latitude and longitude I have know my current position({lat:x,lon:y})
and I know my speed and direction angle;
How to predict next position at next time?

A: Here in JS for calculating lat and lng given bearing and distance:
//lat, lng in degrees. Bearing in degrees. Distance in Km
calculateNewPostionFromBearingDistance = function(lat, lng, bearing, distance) {
  var R = 6371; // Earth Radius in Km

  var lat2 = Math.asin(Math.sin(Math.PI / 180 * lat) * Math.cos(distance / R) + Math.cos(Math.PI / 180 * lat) * Math.sin(distance / R) * Math.cos(Math.PI / 180 * bearing));
  var lon2 = Math.PI / 180 * lng + Math.atan2(Math.sin( Math.PI / 180 * bearing) * Math.sin(distance / R) * Math.cos( Math.PI / 180 * lat ), Math.cos(distance / R) - Math.sin( Math.PI / 180 * lat) * Math.sin(lat2));

  return [180 / Math.PI * lat2 , 180 / Math.PI * lon2];
};

calculateNewPostionFromBearingDistance(60,25,30,1)
[60.007788047871614, 25.008995333937197]

A: Same code in Java:
    final double r = 6371 * 1000; // Earth Radius in m

    double lat2 = Math.asin(Math.sin(Math.toRadians(lat)) * Math.cos(distance / r)
            + Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat)) * Math.sin(distance / r) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(bearing)));
    double lon2 = Math.toRadians(lon)
            + Math.atan2(Math.sin(Math.toRadians(bearing)) * Math.sin(distance / r) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat)), Math.cos(distance / r)
            - Math.sin(Math.toRadians(lat)) * Math.sin(lat2));
    lat2 = Math.toDegrees( lat2);
    lon2 = Math.toDegrees(lon2);

A: First, calculate the distance you will travel based on your current speed and your known time interval ("next time"):
distance = speed * time

Then you can use this formula to calculate your new position (lat2/lon2):
lat2 =asin(sin(lat1)*cos(d)+cos(lat1)*sin(d)*cos(tc))
dlon=atan2(sin(tc)*sin(d)*cos(lat1),cos(d)-sin(lat1)*sin(lat2))
lon2=mod( lon1-dlon +pi,2*pi )-pi

For an implementation in Javascript, see the function LatLon.prototype.destinationPoint on this page
Update for those wishing a more fleshed-out implementation of the above, here it is in Javascript:
  /**
  * Returns the destination point from a given point, having travelled the given distance
  * on the given initial bearing.
  *
  * @param   {number} lat - initial latitude in decimal degrees (eg. 50.123)
  * @param   {number} lon - initial longitude in decimal degrees (e.g. -4.321)
  * @param   {number} distance - Distance travelled (metres).
  * @param   {number} bearing - Initial bearing (in degrees from north).
  * @returns {array} destination point as [latitude,longitude] (e.g. [50.123, -4.321])
  *
  * @example
  *     var p = destinationPoint(51.4778, -0.0015, 7794, 300.7); // 51.5135°N, 000.0983°W
  */
  function destinationPoint(lat, lon, distance, bearing) {
     var radius = 6371e3; // (Mean) radius of earth

     var toRadians = function(v) { return v * Math.PI / 180; };
     var toDegrees = function(v) { return v * 180 / Math.PI; };

     // sinφ2 = sinφ1·cosδ + cosφ1·sinδ·cosθ
     // tanΔλ = sinθ·sinδ·cosφ1 / cosδ−sinφ1·sinφ2
     // see mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/52049.html for derivation

     var δ = Number(distance) / radius; // angular distance in radians
     var θ = toRadians(Number(bearing));

     var φ1 = toRadians(Number(lat));
     var λ1 = toRadians(Number(lon));

     var sinφ1 = Math.sin(φ1), cosφ1 = Math.cos(φ1);
     var sinδ = Math.sin(δ), cosδ = Math.cos(δ);
     var sinθ = Math.sin(θ), cosθ = Math.cos(θ);

     var sinφ2 = sinφ1*cosδ + cosφ1*sinδ*cosθ;
     var φ2 = Math.asin(sinφ2);
     var y = sinθ * sinδ * cosφ1;
     var x = cosδ - sinφ1 * sinφ2;
     var λ2 = λ1 + Math.atan2(y, x);

     return [toDegrees(φ2), (toDegrees(λ2)+540)%360-180]; // normalise to −180..+180°
  }

A: This code works for me :
 1. We have to count the distance ( speed * time ).
 2. The code converts the distance to KM because earthradius is used in KM too.

            const double radiusEarthKilometres = 6371.01f;

            kmDistance = kmSpeed * (timer1.Interval / 1000f) / 3600f;

            var distRatio = kmDistance / radiusEarthKilometres;
            var distRatioSine = Math.Sin(distRatio);
            var distRatioCosine = Math.Cos(distRatio);

            var startLatRad = deg2rad(lat0);
            var startLonRad = deg2rad(lon0);

            var startLatCos = Math.Cos(startLatRad);
            var startLatSin = Math.Sin(startLatRad);

            var endLatRads = Math.Asin((startLatSin * distRatioCosine) + (startLatCos * distRatioSine * Math.Cos(angleRadHeading)));

            var endLonRads = startLonRad
                + Math.Atan2(Math.Sin(angleRadHeading) * distRatioSine * startLatCos,
                    distRatioCosine - startLatSin * Math.Sin(endLatRads));

            newLat = rad2deg(endLatRads);
            newLong = rad2deg(endLonRads);

A: Based on the answer of @clody96 and @mike, here is an implementation in R using a data.frame with velocity and timesteps instead of distance:
points = data.frame(
  lon = seq(11, 30, 1),
  lat = seq(50, 59.5, 0.5),
  bea = rep(270, 20),
  time = rep(60,20),
  vel = runif(20,1000, 3000)
)

## lat, lng in degrees. Bearing in degrees. Distance in m
calcPosBear = function(df) {
  earthR = 6371000;

  ## Units meter, seconds and meter/seconds
  df$dist = df$time * df$vel

  lat2 = asin(sin(
     pi / 180 * df$lat) *
      cos(df$dist / earthR) +
      cos(pi / 180 * df$lat) *
      sin(df$dist / earthR) *
      cos(pi / 180 * df$bea));

  lon2 = pi / 180 * df$lon +
    atan2(sin( pi / 180 * df$bea) *
                 sin(df$dist / earthR) *
                 cos( pi / 180 * df$lat ),
               cos(df$dist / earthR) -
                 sin( pi / 180 * df$lat) *
                 sin(lat2));

  df$latR = (180 * lat2) / pi
  df$lonR = (180 * lon2) / pi

  return(df);
};

df = calcPosBear(points)
plot(df$lon, df$lat)
points(df$lonR, df$latR, col="red")

Which brings the same result as for @clody96:
points = data.frame(
  lon = 25,
  lat = 60,
  bea = 30,
  time = 1000,
  vel = 1
)
df = calcPosBear(points)
df

  lon lat bea time vel dist        latR        lonR
1  25  60  30 1000   1 1000 60.00778805 25.00899533

I find that so many businesses these days are shying away from traditional workspaces. More and more of our responsibilities are being handled over the web. Old office work is overflowing beyond the cubicle and into new and exciting avenues of remote administration.
So, how can we capitalize on this frequently shifting industry? How can we build our skills to adapt to an increasingly decentralized office?
Well, those of us with administrative skills will find it quite easy to transfer their expertise into a remote workspace. Many businesses nowadays are opting for remote Virtual Assistants over traditional administrative professionals.
Moving the administrative responsibilities of an office assistant into a versatile remote workplace gives many companies a viable (and lucrative) new possibility for their administrative needs.
In this article, I hope to give you the tools you need to understand the world of remote work and get yourself out there to start making money as a Virtual Assistant.
I'm sure many readers will have their fair share of anxiety about this new and relatively unexplored realm of possibilities. I'm here to tell you that there's nothing to worry about.
Establishing yourself as a Virtual Assistant and making money is easier than you might think! With this article, I will be covering what a virtual assistant is, how to get started as a virtual assistant, how to progress your business once established, and what kind of things clients will expect from you as a virtual assistant.
Hopefully, by the end, I will have dispelled any fears you may have of self-management and any questions about the job itself. What clients might expect from you, how it is important to keep tabs on the expectations of clients, and the importance of personal motivation will all be discussed.
This can be a very lucrative and comfortable career choice once established, and I'm sure you're ready to So let's get started!
To put it simply, a Virtual Assistant is an administrative assistant who performs their job remotely, over the internet.
Many workplaces are finding that decentralizing or outsourcing their administrative tasks to freelancers or contracted remote workers has become a very viable option. Some virtual assistants working online can even outperform traditional administrative assistants present in the office!
Besides being able to work online with comfort and versatility, a virtual assistant has complete control over their workspace. This allows them to completely customize their environment to their own work needs.
Many businesses have found that this versatility and comfort allows their virtual assistants to work free from distractions and contingencies typical of a traditional office. Aside from this, the logistics of hiring a traditional assistant all but disappear when considering a virtual assistant!
There are many advantages to keeping your administrative responsibilities remote and virtual!
The most obvious advantage is the ability to work from the comfort of your own home. Realistically, a virtual assistant could work anywhere that fosters a positive and productive work environment!
The relatively low cost of hiring a virtual assistant makes it very attractive to smaller businesses and businesses with fewer administrative capabilities.
Since most Virtual Assistants function as independent contractors, there are many interesting particulars about employment. For example, Businesses who employ Virtual Assistants are not responsible for tax or insurance information. Most Virtual Assistants simply add these indirect expenses to their fees.
Virtual assistants require no additional office space or supplies provided by the business which employs them. The company need not worry about the logistics of providing for you!
Cost of entry into this industry is even lower than that of becoming a traditional administrative assistant! All you need is a computer and an internet connection!
The ability to market yourself to multiple clients based on your own capabilities allows you to expect higher pay from companies competing to hire you.
Working for multiple clients can also allow you to learn and compare different expectations from different types of clients.
Being in control of your own administrative equipment and software means you can experiment with different tools which companies might be reluctant to test with a traditional assistant.
Personally negotiating rates give you the opportunity to earn higher pay than the set wages that most businesses will pay a traditional assistant.
Even though negotiating your own prices can be very lucrative, things such as taxes and vacation pay must be handled personally. This can be mitigated somewhat by including such indirect expenses in your fees. However, keep in mind that you won't be getting any paid vacation time!
The flexibility of your workplace can be distracting. It is up to you to make sure your environment is free from distracting elements and contingencies. Many people find the temptation of television or other time wasting activities in their home environment to be too distracting. Still, if you practice a good work ethic, this shouldn't be an issue.
Mundane tasks normally handled by the employer must be done personally. Things like tax filing and general bookkeeping are necessary realities for a virtual assistant.
So, as you can see, there are many advantages and disadvantages to virtualizing your professional administration skills. The real test lies in balancing these attractive qualities with mitigation of the less attractive ones.
An avid professional with a good work ethic should have no problem turning their home office into a virtual administration powerhouse!
Many people find it easy to become enthusiastic working from home. After all, who doesn't like the sound of being your own boss and negotiating your own clients?
While the advantages and comforts are undeniable, they can also easily become pitfalls. Self-regulation is key, and many people used to work in more formal office settings may find it difficult to remain motivated or focused.
The idea of managing your own clients and bookkeeping can be a very daunting task to an aspiring VA. However, there are plenty of tried and true methods for exposing yourself to the professional world for the first time.
The easiest place to start is through third-party freelance websites such as Upwork, Freelancer, or even listings like Craigslist. Be warned, however, that these sites may expect a cut of your profits!
It might seem unfair to give a portion of your earnings to a third party when you're just starting out. Remember, though, that sites like Upwork are promoted heavily to people seeking to hire remote freelancers.
Getting yourself established on platforms like these will help you build up a portfolio of good client reviews to get you seen by the people you want. These kinds of services also offer negotiation and mediation tools to help you manage your business as best you can.
Once you have an established portfolio and lots of shiny five-star reviews, you can start experimenting with listings and other ways of finding clients.
Remember that networking is key! Keep asking your clients from Upwork or Freelancer if they have new jobs for you.
Ask them if they have friends looking for virtual assistants. The more people who know your name and what you're capable of, the more offers you will get and the higher prices you will be able to demand.
Some of my most reliable clients are ones whom I met doing my first jobs on third-party freelance websites!
Keep in mind that you will have some difficulties starting out. Clients will want to pay you next to nothing, and people won't want to risk hiring you at a reasonable price.
You might even have clients who lead you on and refuse to pay! But if you stick it out and really wow a few clients when they really needed it, your revenue stream will quickly snowball.
This process of building a reliable portfolio is key. The third party freelance sites are equipped with great tools for negotiating and making contact with clients, so you'll be able to focus all of your energy on learning the skills you need to progress as a virtual assistant!
In addition to networking, remember to always be in tune with what your clients need and expect. Let yourself learn new techniques or new software when working for people, and your work will become more valuable as you progress!
Eventually, you will have an established network of clients from which to build a steady revenue stream, as well as the skills and specializations necessary to satisfy and wow them!
As always, experience as a traditional Administrative Assistant is always a plus!
So then, how do I progress as a Virtual Assistant?
Once you've got your name out there and you've got a steady stream of work and pay, where do you go from there? Could I be making more money? Could I be attracting larger clients with more specialized work?
Many freelancers find that they hit a kind of 'ceiling' with their work. In order to stay competitive and keep those profits rising, the best freelancers learn early on to learn as they work and stay ahead of their competition.
It's always important to make sure your skillset stays up-to-date and relevant. The more roles you're capable of fulfilling, the wider the range of clients will be who want to hire you!
The best way to improve and find your niche is to learn while you work. Certain clients will want you to learn how to use specific software or communicate on a certain platform. Every keystroke is a learning experience, and the best virtual assistants always remember to keep their skill set grows.
Once you've gotten into the groove of matching your skills with your client's expectations, you can work on exceeding those expectations. More powerful software with more versatile engagement will allow you to work faster and take on more work for higher pay.
Once you've scaled your business up enough, you can even start to outsource some tasks such as accounting!
Another important step in expanding is establishing your own website and social media presence. Eventually, your expertise will outgrow your Upwork profile!
It's important for virtual assistants looking to expand their influence and potential clients, to manage a healthy online presence.
Remember that as a virtual assistant, your online presence is the face that is presented to your potential clients. The healthier your optics are, the healthier your revenue stream will be!
But the key is keeping the workload matched to your skillset. There's no sense in taking on a million clients that you can barely manage. And there's even less sense trying to understand new software that your clients may not need.
The key to avoiding these dead-ends is to remember to take it slow. Make sure you understand your responsibilities and skills before moving on.
Most importantly focus on the client. You'll have a hard time doing wrong by your clients if you listen closely to their expectations.
The easiest way to do this is to maintain a healthy network of business relations. Keep in mind these may not simply be clients!
They can be any professional who helps you find what you need to succeed as a virtual assistant. You can easily make old clients into new contacts and have them introduce you to other potential clients.
This process is key to staying ahead on the expectations in the industry. The more you get shown around and the more clients you're in contact with, the more you will become acquainted with what people will expect of you, and how those expectations will develop over time.
Okay, so what are these expectations?
Very good question! You've probably pictured in your head the traditional administrative assistant sitting at her desk. Maybe she's answering the phone, screening calls, or maybe even typing up a memo for the workplace.
There's no shortage of tasks around an office for an administrative professional to do. That being said, a traditional office can be stagnant; both in its capabilities and expectations.
Working as a virtual assistant, however, you can expect a much wider range of expectations. After all, you could be doing work for a remote client in India, or Peru!
The types of software, languages, and tasks that clients will expect from you will be vast, and the best administrative assistants always keep tabs on the expectations of the industry.
These skills are kept fairly in line with what you would expect from a traditional administrative assistant as well. That being said there are a number of specialized roles that virtual assistants can offer.
Remember that as a virtual assistant, your clients will expect more capabilities and versatility than from the everyday administrative professional sitting outside their office.
In short, while there are a number of set tasks which clients will definitely expect you to fulfill, the list of possible niches is endless.
The most important thing is to always remember what your client may expect, or what you can do to meet the expectations of your client. One of the best strategies for identifying possible niches is to picture yourself as a client.
What type of client might I be? How am I different from other clients? How do my needs differ from other clients? How is the assistant I'm looking for different from the assistants I've seen?
Another thing to keep in mind is your competition. Being established with reliable clients is all well and good, but how do you stay competitive in an increasingly volatile niche?
Luckily enough, putting in your time as a novice assistant, and really making an effort to be in tune with what your clients want will always make you stay a viable option for reliable clients. If you always take care to do your best work, sometimes it's not always necessary to outperform the competition!
The industry has never been more open to jobs like these. The power of the web to connect people across the globe continues to make interesting ripples in the business ecosystem.
Moving administrative tasks into a remote environment is a natural step for those in need of professional assistance, and those willing to fulfill that role. If you want to work from home, and you have the drive to motivate yourself outside of an office space, then you will take beautifully to this career choice.
The sheer versatility of expectations and niches will allow an avid professional to build a skill set that could easily branch off into other aspects of administrative professionalism!
The low cost of entry and streamlined management of a remote environment make this a versatile and potentially lucrative option for anybody with the drive to self-manage. Especially if you're an administrative assistant who always felt you were suited to more responsibility or more versatile tasks; virtual assistance will allow you to shine!
Managing clients, networking, building an administrative skill set, and being one's own boss are all easy advantages a virtual assistant has over traditional. And remember the most important guideline: Keep your client's expectations in mind.
Another important thing to keep in mind is finances and bookkeeping. Remember that you will have to handle the necessary tax and insurance information by yourself.
It's also a good idea when you've moved on from using third-party sites, to familiarize yourself with any relevant laws about freelance and remote work. You will have to manage these things yourself!
I'm sure this is a lot of information to digest. The perfect virtual assistant is simultaneously an administrative assistant, copywriter, researcher, bookkeeper, and so much more.
It seems like a daunting task, but anybody with the will to learn these skills, and the motivation to practice them to mastery, will find their journey into being a virtual assistant quite rewarding.
I only ask that if you choose to go down this path, just remember that no matter how hard it gets, it will be worth it. There's no doubt that being in control of your own workplace, and bringing the tools of a virtual assistant to the workplaces of others, is a serious task. That's why you need to be a serious candidate to master it.
Lazy or half-baked assistants might be able to fulfill the role of a glorified secretary, but the serious virtual assistant will strive to be so much more!
If you think you fit this description, and if you know you have the tools and the motivation to become the virtual assistant of somebody's dreams, then you have the power to start right now!
Remember that the key to being a virtual assistant is putting in your time, and keeping your skillset effective and matched to your client's expectations! Don't get discouraged, don't get lazy, get out there and take control of your administrative future!

A destination wedding on the beautiful island of Mallorca with a couple who are so in love – what more could I ask for? It was obvious from the first moment I met with Carrie-Ann and Fraser at the family finca located just outside the small town of Capdepera that this was the case. The finca's beautiful garden was to be the venue for the wedding, so besides having a chat about the arrangements for the day it was also a great opportunity to meet the family and spend some time together on a pre-wedding shoot. I was so looking forward to being their Mallorca wedding photographer in a few days time.
So around mid-afternoon on the following Saturday, I met up with the bridal party at the fabulous Hotel Sant Salvador in Arta, a town located about a 15 minute drive from the finca. By then, the hair and make-up was in full swing with Carrie-Ann being pampered in front of an open window in the bathroom and the bridesmaids putting the finishing touches to their own make-up. This gave me a great opportunity to take a few documentary shots of the preparations and the beautiful wedding dress. I particularly love to photograph this time as you feel the sense of excitement and anticipation build. Everyone is so happy, particularly when the time comes to open the champagne! But I'm also aware that these are special moments that the groom will only get to experience through those photos.
They do say that it's the brides prerogative to arrive late but on this occasion it wasn't planned. By all accounts the taxi with the bridesmaids on board headed off to another part of the island with Carrie-Ann and her mum in hot pursuit in the bridal car. As you can imagine, it took some time before they were all back on course and heading to Finca Amoyana for the ceremony but eventually the bridal car, a white Volkswagen Beetle convertible, slowly turned in to the lane. Then everything started to happen quickly. Within a few minutes the bridal party were walking up the garden towards the pool area with Fraser beaming as he watched his beautiful bride approaching.
The light changed so much during the service with the sun bursting through the clouds one minute and then dark storm clouds and rain the next, but I guess that just added to the drama of the occasion. This was mirrored by the emotion you could feel during the ceremony. There were times when you could see it was difficult for Carrie-Ann to speak, such is her love for Fraser. Other times the bridesmaids were smiling one moment and holding back the tears the next, such was the significance of their friends marriage to them. Those are the weddings I absolutely love.
'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' started to play as the wedding finished with Carrie-Ann and Fraser breaking in to a spontaneous dance of happiness accompanied by applause from friends and family. By now the storm clouds had scattered and blue skies appeared so everyone could now spill in to the garden for drinks and canapés. Then a few photos of the newlyweds in the open-top Beetle before the chauffeur departed, the groups shots and then the tossing of the bouquet. I don't think I've ever since one thrown so high and far before as it practically cleared the whole assembled group of patiently waiting ladies.
With the sun now setting behind the distant rolling hills, the guests spent the rest of the evening in a marquee at the bottom of the garden where the wedding breakfast was served to the wonderful guitar playing of the Muntaner Duo. With the speeches over, Carrie-Ann was treated to dancing with a relative appearing as an Elvis impersonator and then we were soon on to Oasis' 'I'm Outta Time' for the first dance.
We left before 1 am with the party still in full swing and with the disco sounds pumping down the valley. It was a really fabulous day and a tremendous privilege to be a part of it. Thank you! I wish Carrie-Ann and Fraser every happiness for their future together.


God save us from the false prophets!
As March is human rights month in South Africa, I thought it would be fitting to reflect on human rights in relation to international or cross-border migrants, a group of people whose presence in the country is often questioned and sometimes violently challenged. These reflections emerge from my own research looking into these issues.
International human rights instruments do not explicitly include protection of undocumented migrants, but arguments for their inclusion are made on both normative and pragmatic bases. The new denizens, as some refer to migrants, are often prevented from accessing rights de facto due to social practices, even when they are accorded de jure rights through legislation. As a result, an overwhelming majority of migrants are faced with limited options, have little voice, and have to make a living among and as part of the precariat. After 1994, South Africa was increasingly seen as a favourable destination for migrants seeking asylum and/or better economic opportunities, which they did not have in their home countries. This led to migration increasing tenfold during the first post-apartheid decade in South Africa.
Migration is generally seen as contributing to increasing labour market deregulation, decreasing labour standards and working conditions, as well as wages, and, ultimately, limiting locals' access to available jobs. Migrants serve as a reserve of labour that is highly flexible, easily exploited, and that is unlikely to seek legal recourse for violations of labour law or join a trade union. This effect on the labour market is particularly apparent and problematic in host countries with pre-existing high rates of unemployment such as South Africa. This perceived labour market effect, combined with the perception that migrants are unlawfully and unfairly accessing limited and strained social services to the detriment of South Africans, and that they are responsible for criminal activities, contribute to negative stereotypes held on migrants.
As bona fide worker representatives, trade unions, therefore, have a major role to play in recognising and mitigating the dangers inherent in dividing workers into citizens versus denizens, or locals versus foreigners. Trade unions themselves are in decline, with union density rates falling, largely as a result of the increasing use of non-standard employment arrangements by employers. This is partly due to the fact that trade unions find it extremely difficult to access and organise atypical workers (including those employed under the aforementioned non-standard arrangements), many of whom are migrants (both domestic and cross-border). This is especially true for migrants, particularly undocumented migrants, who are always located in the periphery of the labour market due to their more vulnerable status, and this position in the labour market renders their claims to rights and the role of trade unions in supporting these claims more difficult but equally necessary.

Shang Chi is coming to Disney+ UK as part of Disney Plus Day - here's when you can watch it
Wednesday, 22nd September 2021, 10:28 am
Updated Wednesday, 22nd September 2021, 11:23 am

Disney has announced Disney+ Day, a special day to make two years of the streaming service.
A number of blockbuster films and series will make their debut on Disney+ on that day, including the recently released Marvel blockbuster, Shang-Chi And The Legend of The Ten Rings.
But what else is coming to Disney+ as part of the special day, and when is it?
Here is everything you need to know about it.
What is happening on Disney+ Day?
Marvel blockbuster Shang-Chi And The Legend of The Ten Rings will make its streaming debut as part of Disney+ Day.
The film, which stars Simu Liu and Awkwafina, made a big splash at the box office following its release in August.
It has grossed 322 million dollars (£236 million) worldwide, an impressive total in the pandemic era.
Family adventure Jungle Cruise, which stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Emily Blunt, will also be available to mark Disney+ Day, it was announced.
And Home Sweet Home Alone, a reimagining of the beloved Christmas franchise, will be another addition, Disney said.
Other releases include; Pixar animated short film Ciao Alberto, featuring characters from summer movie Luca; the first five episodes from season two of The World According To Jeff Goldblum; and Dopesick, an original series starring Michael Keaton.
What is Shang-Chi And The Legend of The Ten Rings?
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was released in UK cinemas in September, and received glowing reviews.
It stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, a character previously known for his days in the comic books as the Master of Kung Fu.
Critical reactions praised the film as "fantastic", "phenomenal", "astounding", and even a game-changer.
Collider's Steven Weintraub said that Shang-Chi stood out from the many other Marvel movies, and praised the casting of Simu Liu in particular.
ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis wrote that Shang-Chi was surprisingly dark, and that appropriately for a film about a martial arts master the action was unlike anything we've seen from Marvel so far.
We Live Entertainment's Scott Menzel named Shang-Chi as the best superhero film of 2021 over the likes of Black Widow and The Suicide Squad.
When is Disney+ Day?
The event will take place on Friday 12 November, to mark the two-year anniversary of the streaming service.
Disney+ was launched as a rival to Netflix and has 116 million subscribers, compared to the 209 million of its chief competitor.
You can subscribe to Disney+ at disneyplus.com

CLICK HERE FOR A FULL LIST OF VENDORS
Settled at the forks of the Thames River in the early 1800s, London, Ontario was a small, rural town when William Sutherland founded the Canadian Free Press as a weekly newspaper in 1849. A few years later, under new owner Josiah Blackburn, the paper was renamed the London Free Press, and grew into a major daily as London grew into the institutional powerhouse of Western Ontario.
The ensuing decades saw the Great Western Railway link London with the rest of North America as the Forest City established itself as the legal, fi nancial, military, and educa-tional centre of the region. Home to Western University, London Life, Victoria Hospital, and the Wolseley Barracks—as well as industry titans like Imperial Oil and Labatt Brewery—London established itself as vital to the growing nation.
From the Vault: A Photo-History of London to 1950 chronicles London's growth from a modest town perched precariously on the flood-plain to a city growing quickly enough to annex surrounding communities. Th is wide-ranging collection showcases the Forest City like never before, from London's sacrifices in war to church life on Sunday, from couples doing the jitter-bug to the pageantry of royal visits. Historian Jennifer Grainger provides fascinating chapter introductions and captions to complement the 1,000+ black-and-white photographs drawn largely from the London Free Press Collection of Photographic Negatives at Western Archives. Carefully researched and beautifully designed, From the Vault: A Photo-History of London to 1950 is indispensable for lovers of local history.

Wow!!!! I love this brush. I've seen it used on videos and thought okay, what's so special. Thought I'd try one and now I can't live without it. I can't wait to get the other sizes.
I am so impressed with this brush and the way it is designed. Never have I come across a brush that is like this one. I am a realist painter and find this brush to be excellent for softening.

Prithvi Shaw has expressed his surprise at receiving a maiden India call-up for the ongoing England five-Test series.
Prithvi Shaw has expressed his surprise at receiving a maiden India call-up for the ongoing England five-Test series. On Wednesday, the 18-year-old Mumbai batsman along with Andhra's Hanuma Vihari were included in India's squad for the remaining two Tests against England.
Shaw has been consistently churning out runs, whether in domestic cricket or for a representative Indian team he has played for so far. In 14 First-class matches, Shaw has scored 1418 runs at an excellent average of 56.72 with seven centuries and five fifties. Of these 14 FC games, four have been for India A in which he has hit 406 runs at an average of 50, with two centuries and one fifty.
He has played in 19 List A matches so far, scored 651 runs at 34.26 with two centuries and three half-centuries. Of these, 10 List A games have been for India A, in which he averages 44.20 with two centuries and one fifty.
Following their 203-run win against England that has kept the series alive, India announced squad for the remaining two Tests. Shaw and Vihari found a place in the 18-man squad while opener Murali Vijay and spinner Kuldeep Yadav have been dropped.
Shaw is having a memorable run in 2018 which began when he led India to their fourth ICC U-19 World Cup triumph in New Zealand.
DC vs MI: What can we expect from today's IPL match?


I first discovered this bread from a Singaporean bread shop called Roti Mum. It was marketed as the best coffee bun!
At first glance, it looked like a simple bun bread. But a coffee person like myself, I just had to try it. I was surprised by the layers of texture and flavor of the bun. It has an outer soft cookie-like coffee layer covering a brioche-like bread and when you get to the center of the bun, it hits you with a salty butter flavor. It was a delicious indulgent treat and is great paired with a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
This recipe makes 16 coffee buns.
First, you need to proof your yeast, by mixing it with lukewarm water and a teaspoon of sugar. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, you can prepare the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, place your bread flour, sugar and salt (2nd picture). Mix the dry ingredients with a spatula. Check your yeast if it is frothy or foamy (1st picture). If it is, then add this to the dry ingredients with the beaten egg. Mix this well with a spatula until the dough is formed. Transfer it to a flat surface and knead for 10 minutes. You don't need to flour the surface or add flour to the dough. It is meant to be kneaded sticky as shown in the 4th picture.
After 10 minutes of kneading, cut up the unsalted butter to pieces. Incorporate the butter one at a time kneading it in the dough. After all the butter is kneaded in, you would notice that the dough is not sticking to the surface and is quite glossy (6th picture). Place the dough back in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a cling wrap and kitchen towel. Let it rise for 1 hour.
After 1 hour has elapsed, check your dough if it has doubled in size. If it has, divide it into 16 pieces.
Flatten the dough with your hand and place a teaspoon of slightly salted butter. Gather the sides of the dough to wrap the butter inside and place it seam side down to a parchment covered baking tray. Make sure that they are well spaced, as these will rise a second time. Place a cling wrap on top of the buns and let it rise for 1 hour.
While the dough is proofing, make the coffee dough by beating the butter and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until it is light and fluffy (2nd picture). Pour the beaten eggs in parts while beating the mixture to prevent it from separating.
Prepare the coffee by adding 2 tablespoons of hot water to it in a separate small bowl (3rd picture).
Place the sifted pastry flour in the butter mixture and fold it in. Then add the coffee and fold it in until the mixture is well combined (last picture).
After 1 hour and the dough buns increased in size, Place the coffee dough in a plastic piping bag and snip off the end. Pipe it on the buns starting from the center in tight circles until you reach the sides. You don't need to pipe the bottom edge because the coffee dough will melt and cover the edges.
Bake the buns in a preheated oven 200 degrees celsius convection oven(210 degrees celsius conventional oven) for 12 to 15 minutes until it has risen and well browned. Place them on a wire rack to cool.

Image: Tracking radiation treatment in real time promises safer, more effective cancer therapy (Photo courtesy of Pexels)
Radiation is used in treatment for hundreds of thousands of cancer patients each year, bombarding an area of the body with high energy waves and particles, usually X-rays. The radiation can kill cancer cells outright or damage them so that they can't spread. These benefits are undermined by a lack of precision, as radiation treatment often kills and damages healthy cells in the areas surrounding a tumor. It can also raise the risk of developing new cancers. Now, radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging. By capturing and amplifying tiny sound waves created when X-rays heat tissues in the body, medical professionals can map the radiation dose within the body, giving them new data to guide treatments in real time. It's a first-of-its-kind view of an interaction doctors have previously been unable to "see."
With real-time 3D imaging developed at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI, USA), doctors can more accurately direct the radiation toward cancerous cells and limit the exposure of adjacent tissues. To do that, they simply need to "listen." When X-rays are absorbed by tissues in the body, they are turned into thermal energy. That heating causes the tissue to expand rapidly, and that expansion creates a sound wave. The acoustic wave is weak and usually undetectable by typical ultrasound technology. U-M's new ionizing radiation acoustic imaging system detects the wave with an array of ultrasonic transducers positioned on the patient's side. The signal is amplified and then transferred into an ultrasound device for image reconstruction. With the images in-hand, an oncology clinic can alter the level or trajectory of radiation during the process to ensure safer and more effective treatments. Another benefit of the technology is it can be easily added to current radiation therapy equipment without drastically changing the processes that clinicians are used to.
"In the future, we could use the imaging information to compensate for uncertainties that arise from positioning, organ motion and anatomical variation during radiation therapy," said Wei Zhang, a research investigator in biomedical engineering and the study's first author. "That would allow us to deliver the dose to the cancer tumor with pinpoint accuracy."
"In future applications, this technology can be used to personalize and adapt each radiation treatment to assure normal tissues are kept to a safe dose and that the tumor receives the dose intended," said Kyle Cuneo, associate professor of radiation oncology at Michigan Medicine. "This technology would be especially beneficial in situations where the target is adjacent to radiation sensitive organs such as the small bowel or stomach."
