Award for Improving Undergraduate Physics Education
Application Deadline: June 15
Recognition for Departments and Programs of Distinction
The American Physical Society's (APS) Committee on Education (COE) seeks to recognize excellence in undergraduate physics education and support best practices in education at the undergraduate level by accepting applications from physics departments and/or undergraduate-serving programs in physics for the COE Award for Improving Undergraduate Physics Education. All programs that have a significant impact on undergraduate physics students are eligible to apply. Applicants should consider how their program successfully
Engages in undergraduate educational transformation
Improves student understanding of physics
Increases the number of majors
Improves retention by reducing the DFW (Drop, Fail, or Withdraw) rate
Increases the number of underrepresented minorities and women in physics
Supports physics major choosing K-12 teaching careers
Prepares students for careers
Improves undergraduate research opportunities
Engages in other recognized best practices
APS will recognize one to three programs and departments each year.
Awardees for Improving Undergraduate Physics Education
Distinction from the Prize for a Faculty Member for Research in an Undergraduate Institution
In contrast to the successful Prize for a Faculty Member for Research in an Undergraduate Institution, this effort will recognize multiple institutions, and focus specifically on undergraduate programs. We anticipate these two awards will complement each other. The Committee on Education intends this award to recognize exemplary programs among the larger physics community.
Prize for a Faculty Member for Research in an Undergraduate Institution
Applicants should complete the attached data form and submit an application documenting the achievements and improvements for which the program is seeking recognition. The total length of the application, including supporting documentation, should not exceed 10 pages.
The application should describe:
The overall physics program at the institution, including the student populations served, any regional factors, resources and facilities, and other information that is relevant to establishing the excellence of the program
The program curriculum at both the introductory and upper-division levels. Include information about program requirements, student advising, and curriculum opportunities that go beyond what is typical of undergraduate physics programs
The improvements and achievements for which the program is seeking recognition. These might include:
Growth in enrollment
Revival of moribund programs
Strength in teacher training
Implementation of research-based teaching methods
Exceptional internship and/or research experience programs
Strong student mentoring programs
Exceptional success supporting traditionally underrepresented groups
Please note that it is neither expected nor required that any given program will exhibit excellence or improvement in all of these areas. It is expected that recognized programs will have distinction in one or more of these areas. Applications should concentrate on what is novel or unique about the program.
The application should provide relevant data and documentary evidence for claims of improvement, transformation in the program, growth, impact, and other successes for which the program is seeking recognition. Data provided should show evidence that improvements have been sustained over a period of at least a few years. Supporting letters may be included but are not required.
The COE seeks to recognize improvement and success at all types of institutions, ranging from large research universities to small colleges. Applications will be judged within the appropriate context to the greatest extent possible.
Institutions may submit only one application per year. Applications should arrive from the program director or department chair. To encourage broad participation by many programs, and to encourage individual programs to commit to sustained improvement and achievement, awardees will be recognized for three years on the APS website. We encourage programs to submit new applications after the award period has ended.
Applications must be received by June 15.
To apply, email the following in a single PDF document to the APS Education Department (education@aps.org):
Data form
Two-page narrative that responds to the request described above
Supplementary materials (of up to 10 pages)
Supplementary materials (of up to 10 pages) will be accepted, but the two-page narrative should describe programmatic efforts completely, independent of supplements. Institutions may submit only one application per year. Applications should arrive from the program's director or department chair. To encourage broad participation by many programs, and to encourage individual programs to commit to sustained improvement and achievement, awardees will be recognized for three years on the APS website. We encourage programs to submit new applications after the award period has ended.
Review and Announcement Timeline
The APS Committee on Education's Subcommittee on Undergraduate Education will review applications and make recommendations to the APS COE for their fall meeting. The entire committee will make final decisions based on the subcommittee's recommendations. We encourage representatives of the programs receiving an award to participate in a public recognition ceremony that will typically occur at the APS April Meeting. No travel funds are available to bring recipients to the award reception, nor is it required that they attend. A section of the APS Undergraduate website will keep a list of current and historical awardees with active links to their programs.

2022 Mclaren 765LT
Ranked #1 in Coupe
2022 Mclaren 765LT Price, Review, Ratings and Pictures
2022 Mclaren 765LT Exclusive Pictures + Spy Shots
Not that the McLaren 720S wasn't powerful enough or was too slow off the mark, the new McLaren 765LT has dropped a few pounds and is all set to create a new stir in the performance coupe segment. This road legal track-focused Longtail coupe gets immense amounts of grip to transfer that tremendous power and torque to catapult the lightweight chassis almost as quickly as a Formula 1 car. The hollow-eyed front fascia and the exotic overall design excite emotions while driving this grippy McLaren.

Base$67,900 onwards
Nero Puro
McLaren launched the 765LT just last year, and hence this year there are no updates or changes made apart from the inclusion of a new Spyder convertible variant. As for the prices, the MSRP is a whopping $368,000 before options and customizations. Although most of its target audience wouldn't mind spending the additional bucks it demands over its rivals, it has to be a hearty decision as no sensible mind can justify the higher prices. Most of its rivals are much more affordable, which include Aston Martin DBS, Ferrari F8 Tributo, and the Lamborghini Aventador S.

2022 Mclaren 765LT Features
As is the case with most exotic cars, McLaren too offers the 765LT in just a standalone trim with plenty of optional features and packages available for an added premium. Apart from these, there are plenty of customization and personalization options in which McLaren tailor-makes the cabin and certain exterior elements to match your personality and tastes.

As the price of the base trim is already high, and adding options shoots the final payable mount exorbitantly high, one needs to keep an eye on the tab while selecting the features. That being said, with plenty of carbon fiber and Alcantara elements already in play, it is best to just add the optional features and add more value to the car.
2022 McLaren 765LT Release Date
Similar to the previous year, one can expect that McLaren will sell only 765 units worldwide this year as well, out of which only about 30 to 40 percent will make their way to the United States & will be available only by the end of 2021.
2022 Mclaren 765LT Engine and Performance
The 2022 McLaren 765LT will continue to be powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine positioned in the same mid-engine layout, which is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The engine is rated to produce an astounding 755 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to only the rear wheels as standard. The performance from this powertrain is unsurprisingly quick, achieving 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds, while the quarter-mile drag run takes just over 10 seconds.
The lower, wider, and longer stature of the 765LT over the 720S improves the handling of the car along with the quicker steering ratios and the six-piston Monobloc calipers from the Senna, which further enhances driving performance. Driving the 765LT at speeds does give you glimpses of the Senna as to how easier it is to drive as compared to the 720S. The superior visibility, light steering, new hydraulically interconnected dampers, and super-aggressive Senna-style Pirelli Trofeo R tires all inspire great confidence at high speeds.

2021 Ferrari F8 Tributo Coupe
2021 Lamborghini Aventador S Coupe
4.0L, Twin-Turbo V8
5.2L, Twin-Turbo V12
6.5L, Naturally Aspirated V12
The Ferrari F8 Tributo is the more affordable and sensible alternative to the 765LT as it not only costs considerably less than the McLaren but also has similar acceleration performance and handling to offer. The Lamborghini, on the other hand, is substantially pricier and yet is only one-tenth of a second quicker to 60 mph from a standstill. The Aston Martin, on the other hand, is the slowest of the lot, needing over 11 seconds for the quarter-mile run.
2022 Mclaren 765LT Fuel Economy
The fuel efficiency of an exotic sports car is not something that is a point of debate for any enthusiast or customer alike. But just for the sake of the record, the 2022 McLaren 765LT is rated for 16 mpg of combined city and highway driving as per the EPA. The 19-gallon fuel tank is smaller than what we would have liked, and although we understand the weight-saving notion of the designers, owners would have to visit the gas station more often.
Fuel Tank Capacity (gal)
Range (City / Highway / Combined) (miles)
The Ferrari F8 returns similar fuel economy figures as that of the McLaren but employs a larger gas tank which aids it in offering a longer driving range, which is also one of the best in the segment. The Aston Martin DBS is the most frugal in this comparison and also offers a decent driving range, while the Aventador S is no doubt the king at gulping down fuel, and even with the large fuel tank capacity, it only manages just over 300 miles of range on the highways.
2022 Mclaren 765LT Interior
The cabin design of the 765LT is very similar to that of the McLaren 720S and hence we get the scissor doors that swing upwards which also takes out a chunk of the roof with it, offering better ingress and egress. The seating is very low to the ground, and the slim carbon-fiber seats are similar to the ones on Senna. There is no air-conditioning or stereo on offer as standard to save around 25 lbs of weight, but it's a no-cost add-on if you ask for it.
Everything you see or feel is either covered with carbon-fiber trim or Alcantara and suede upholstery. Although it isn't the most exciting and stylish cabin to look at, everything is purposeful and is ergonomically designed. The mid-engine layout means there is a 5.3 cu-ft of the front trunk, and that's about it. There are not many storage pockets or cup holders around the cabin, and frankly, nobody is asking for it either.
Front Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)
Rear Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)
Cargo Capacity (cu-ft)
The Lamborghini Aventador S gets a cabin similar to that of the McLaren as it too is pretty simplistic, and it too does not offer much creature comforts as we see with the Aston Martin DBS. The Ferrari has a bit of modern appeal to it and also offers the largest cargo space, while both the McLaren and Lamborghini have the least amount of luggage space, with the DBS offering marginally better. Major interior features include:
McLaren Alcantara Seat Trim
Tilt/Telescoping Sport Alcantara Simulated Suede & Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel
Alcantara Simulated Suede Door Trim Insert and Alcantara Simulated Suede Headliner
Carbon Fiber Console Insert and Aluminum Interior Accents
Alcantara Simulated Suede Upholstered Dashboard
How intuitive is the 2022 McLaren 765LT's infotainment unit?
McLaren offers a vertically-oriented 8-inch touchscreen McLaren Infotainment System that is positioned in the center of the dashboard. As mentioned before, there is no stereo system on offer, but there is an optional four-speaker unit on offer which just does its job well, but audiophiles should love the superior and more powerful Bowers & Wilkins audio system. There is a mobile hotspot, satellite radio, and Bluetooth also on offer along with the McLaren Track Telemetry system to better your skills on the track. Major infotainment features include:
8.0-inch McLaren Infotainment System (MIS)
McLaren Track Telemetry (MTT)
4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Internet Access
On-board memory
2022 Mclaren 765LT Exterior
Although both the front and rear end of the 765LT resembles the 720S, it has a certain level of differentiation, which is all purposeful rather than just-style. Since it gets the Longtail treatment, the 765LT is longer than the 720S by 10 mm at the rear, while the front splitter protrudes by around 40 mm. The active rear spoiler is designed to provide 20% extra surface area for better grip at high speeds.
Everything contributes to reducing the weight for the 765LT and hence it features lighter wheels, carbon fiber parts, polycarbonate rear windshield carbon fiber panels, although most of the body is made of aluminum. The styling is gorgeous overall with the revised aero package that is all carbon fiber now which will turn your head every time you park it in your garage or at a parking lot of a casino.
Ground Clearance (in)
In terms of dimensions, the Ferrari and McLaren are again neck-to-neck, but the extra weight-saving efforts of the McLaren engineers mean that it is one of the lightest cars on offer. The Lamborghini is the longest car here and yet is pretty much on par with its weight, while the Aston Martin DBS is the heaviest of the lot in spite of being much smaller than the Lambo. Major exterior highlights include:
Automatic Projector Beam LED Daytime Running Auto-Leveling Headlamps
Power Spoiler
Rain Detecting Fixed Interval Wipers
Carbon Fiber Power Heated Side Mirrors w/Tilt Down and Power Folding
T-Bar Composite 1st Row Sunroof
19-inch 10-spoke ultra-lightweight platinum finish alloy wheels
2022 Mclaren 765LT Safety
There is no surprise in the fact that neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS has crash-tested the McLaren 765LT yet, and considering the extremely high value and low volume of the car, we are pretty sure that it ain't happening in the future as well. Although it does not feature many of the driver aids as standard, as far as safety is concerned, there is plenty of safety technology in play with strong aluminum and carbon fiber structures to assure maximum safety, in case things were to go sideways. Major safety features include:
Dual Stage Driver And Passenger Front & Door-Mounted Side Airbags
2022 Mclaren 765LT Competition
2022 McLaren 765LT vs Aston Martin DBS
The Aston Martin DBS is the perfect combination of speed and luxury, and it does so in style. It is a bit cheaper than the McLaren, although it isn't as quick or as agile at handling as the 765LT. That being said, it is marginally more frugal and also has a bit more cabin and luggage space to offer as it also features an additional row of comically small rear seats. Therefore, it is a matter of priority. If sheer performance is what you seek, look no further than the 2022 McLaren 765LT.
Aston Martin DBS
2022 McLaren 765LT vs Ferrari F8 Tributo
The most evenly matched cars of this segment, the Ferrari F8 Tributo could very well be your cheaper alternative if you don't manage to get your hand on the limited-run 765LT. The Ferrari has the handling and acceleration performance to offer that is on par with the McLaren and yet offers a not-so-claustrophobic cabin, which is much more comfortable and loaded with a bit more features.
2022 McLaren 765LT vs Lamborghini Aventador S
Lamborghini has been the go-to brand when sheer performance is concerned for quite a while now, and the Aventador S is a major reason behind that. Although the prices are much higher than any other car, it is quicker in a straight line and is also agile on the bends like no other. The cabin now also features a bit of modernity, and although Lamborghini might have milked the hell out of this car, it still overshadows most of the modern-day cars by a mile, and that's a fact.
2022 Mclaren 765LT Final Verdict
The introduction of the McLaren 765LT has filled up the space left between the 720S and Senna, and that is probably what was the intention behind the inception of this car. It is much lighter and better handler than the 720S and is also not as imposing and outright outrageous as the Senna to drive. The lack of some features might put some people off, but when performance is concerned, there are frowning faces at all.

"Using Simulated Family Presence to Decrease Agitation in Older Hospita" by Christine M. Waszynski, Kerry A. Milner et al.
Background: Simulated family presence has been shown to be an effective nonpharmacological intervention to reduce agitation in persons with dementia in nursing homes. Hyperactive or mixed delirium is a common and serious complication experienced by hospitalized patients, a key feature of which is agitation. Effective nonpharmacological interventions to manage delirium are needed.
Objectives: To examine the effect of simulated family presence through pre-recorded video messages on the agitation level of hospitalized, delirious, acutely agitated patients.
Design: Single site randomized control trial, 3 groups x 4 time points mixed factorial design conducted from July 2015 to March 2016.
Setting: Acute care level one trauma center in an inner city of the state of Connecticut, USA.
Participants: Hospitalized patients experiencing hyperactive or mixed delirium and receiving continuous observation were consecutively enrolled (n = 126), with 111 participants completing the study. Most were older, male, Caucasian, spouseless, with a pre-existing dementia.
Methods: Participants were randomized to one of the following study arms: view a one minute family video message, view a one minute nature video, or usual care. Participants in experimental groups also received usual care. The Agitated Behavior Scale was used to measure the level of agitation prior to, during, immediately following, and 30 minutes following the intervention.
Conclusion: This work provides preliminary support for the use of family video messaging as a nonpharmacological intervention that may decrease agitation in selected hospitalized delirious patients. Further studies are necessary to determine the efficacy of the intervention as part of a multi-component intervention as well as among younger delirious patients without baseline dementia.

Size, age, and habitat determine effectiveness of Palau's Marine Protected Areas
Authors: Friedlander, Alan M.; Golbuu, Yimnang; Ballesteros, Enric CSIC ORCID ; Ballesteros, Enric CSIC ORCID ; Caselle, Jennifer E.; Gouezo, Marine; Olsudong, Dawnette; Sala, Enric CSIC
Issue Date: 30-Mar-2017
Citation: PLoS ONE 12(3): e0174787
Abstract: Palau has a rich heritage of conservation that has evolved from the traditional moratoria on fishing, or ªbulº, to more western Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), while still retaining elements of customary management and tenure. In 2003, the Palau Protected Areas Network (PAN) was created to conserve Palau's unique biodiversity and culture, and is the country's mechanism for achieving the goals of the Micronesia Challenge (MC), an initiative to conserve 30% of near-shore marine resources within the region by 2020. The PAN comprises a network of numerous MPAs within Palau that vary in age, size, level of management, and habitat, which provide an excellent opportunity to test hypotheses concerning MPA design and function using multiple discreet sampling units. Our sampling design provided a robust space for time comparison to evaluate the relative influence of potential drivers of MPA efficacy. Our results showed that no-take MPAs had, on average, nearly twice the biomass of resource fishes (i.e. those important commercially, culturally, or for subsistence) compared to nearby unprotected areas. Biomass of non-resource fishes showed no differences between no-take areas and areas open to fishing. The most striking difference between notake MPAs and unprotected areas was the more than 5-fold greater biomass of piscivorous fishes in the MPAs compared to fished areas. The most important determinates of no-take MPA success in conserving resource fish biomass were MPA size and years of protection. Habitat and distance from shore had little effect on resource fish biomass. The extensive network of MPAs in Palau likely provides important conservation and tourism benefits to the Republic, and may also provide fisheries benefits by protecting spawning aggregation sites, and potentially through adult spillover.

For the week ending 4 April 2020 / 10 Nisan 5780
Shabbat 23-57
A Mother's Prayer
Rav Huna said, "One who is careful to have good light on Shabbat will merit having children who are Torah scholars; one who is careful in fulfilling the mitzvah of mezuzah will merit having a beautiful home; one who is careful in fulfilling the mitzvah of tzitzit will merit having beautiful clothing; one who careful in fulfilling the mitzvah of kiddush will merit many full barrels of wine (i.e. wealth)."
The halacha to have good light on Shabbat is codified in Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 263. The Mishna Berurah explains that lighting candles for Shabbat is an obligation that is mainly to enhance fulfillment of the mitzvah of oneg Shabbat — enjoying Shabbat. He also cites our gemara that one
who is careful in this practice will merit children who are Torah scholars, as the Torah states, "For the lamp is a mitzvah and Torah is light." The Mishna Berurah adds that it is therefore fitting for a woman to pray to Hashem after she lights that He will grant her children who will light up the world with Torah.
Shabbat 23b
The Entire Torah
Hillel answered, "Do not do to your fellow man that which is hateful to you… This is the entire Torah. The rest is elucidation. Now, go and learn it."
This is what the Sage Hillel told the person who came to convert to Judaism on condition that he would be taught the entire Torah while standing on one foot.
Hillel's teaching to ""Do not do to your friend that which is hateful to you" is certainly a "rebranding" of the Torah mitzvah to "Love one's fellow man as himself" (Vayikra 19:18). This teaching is a golden rule of thumb for fulfillment of every mitzvah of the Torah. It is a key principle to guide us in all that we do — not only for mitzvahs between one person and another, but also for mitzvahs between a person and Hashem (see Rashi's definition of "your friend").
Shabbat 31a
Living in Israel
Rav Yehuda said, "Anyone who leaves Bavel to go up to Eretz Yisrael transgresses a positive mitzvah of the Torah, as it says, ''They (the Jewish People) shall be brought to Babylon andthere they shall beuntilI (Hashem) will take heed of them... and restore them to this place (Eretz Yisrael).'" (Yirmiyahu 27:22)
This teaching of Rav Yehuda is codified by the Rambam as halacha for all times: "Just as it is forbidden to leave the chosen land for the Diaspora, it is also forbidden to leave Babylon for other lands, as Yirmiyahu states, 'They (the Jewish People) shall be brought to Babylon and there they shall be until I (Hashem) will take heed of them... and restore them to this place (Eretz Yisrael).'"
Although the Rambam teaches that it is forbidden to leave Eretz Yisrael for the Diaspora (with a few exceptions, as he notes), he does not teach that it is mitzvah for a person to live in Eretz Yisrael. The halachic matter of an obligation to live in Israel is a matter of well-known dispute between the Ramban and the Rambam.
The Torah states, "And you shall possess the Land and dwell in it, because I have given the Land to you as an inheritance." (Bamidbar 33:53) The Ramban maintains that this verse teaches us that there is a mitzvah to settle in the Land of Israel, and that this mitzvah is applicable even in times of exile. "We have been commanded to inherit the Land that the Almighty One gave to our forefathers, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov; not to leave it in the hands of other nations and not to leave it desolate. This is what G-d commanded them in the verse, "And you shall possess the Land…"
The Rambam, however, does not count this as a mitzvah in his listing of the 613 commandments, despite his statement in the Misneh Torah that "one should always dwell in the Land of Israel," and despite his other numerous statements regarding the greatness and sanctity of the Land. (Hilchot Melachim 5:9-12.)
(For a thorough discussion of the various opinions regarding the proper understanding of the Rambam's position — and how he understands the verse in Sefer Bamidbar — refer to Eretz Chamda by Rav Shaul Israeli.)
Mitzvah Protection
"Just as a dove is protected by it wings, so too is the Jewish nation protected by its mitzvahs."
The gemara teaches that this comparison is alluded to in a verse of Tehillim (68:14) that describes the Jewish People and the mitzvahs as "the feathers of a dove covered with silver, and
its pinions with brilliant gold."The Jewish nation is compared to a dove and the mitzvahs are compared to the dove's feathers — which protect the dove from cold and from its enemies. (Rashi)
Not a Mind Reader
Rabbi Zeira said, "Even though they won't accept your rebuke, you should nevertheless rebuke them."
Prior to this, Rabbi Zeira had told Rabbi Simon to rebuke a certain group of transgressors. However, Rabbi Simon declined to do so, claiming that his rebuking them would not effect a change in their ways for the better. To this, Rabbi Zeira countered that "Even though they won't accept your rebuke, you should nevertheless rebuke them." His reasoning: "How do you know for sure that they won't accept your rebuke and change their ways?" Rabbi Zeira brings a support for his position from a teaching of Rabbi Acha b'Rabbi Chanina, as is explained in detail in the gemara.
It would seem that Rabbi Zeira's way of thinking is obviously correct. Why would Rabbi Simon have thought differently in the first place and not have initially agreed to rebuke? From the words of Tosefot on the daf, we have the answer to this question.
Tosefot explains that Rabbi Zeira's argument to rebuke them was because there was a doubt that perhaps the rebuke would be successful and the transgressors would do teshuva. But if it was certain that the transgressors would not heed the words of rebuke, they should not be rebuked — "Better that the transgressors remain shogeg (unaware that they were transgressing), and not be considered meizid (aware of the transgression and intentionally transgressing). Therefore, Rabbi Simon reasoned that the transgressors should not be rebuked, since they would not listen and the rebuke would only serve to make their transgression more serious (meizid). Rabbi Zeira explained to him that although he thought they would not accept his rebuke, he could not be 100% certain. And if there is a shadow of a doubt that the rebuke might work, there is a mitzvah to try one's best. Only Hashem knows if the transgressors will reject the rebuke — or accept it.


A pleasant Holiday Season almost always equals an exhausted Homemaker. All those scrumptious Noche Buena and Media Noche dishes didn't just come out nowhere, you know! The festivities may be over, but your significant other is probably still in recovery mode. Even Wonder Woman needs to rest, too.
Show her how much you appreciate her hard work with a romantic gesture in the form of breakfast-in-bed! Come tomorrow morning, you better get of your senso memory mattress extra early so you can surprise your wife with the stress-free breakfast she deserves! Here are five recipes that should be a piece of cake!
Put on a twist on the classic pancake breakfast by using chocolate batter and then topping the finished product with your favorite fruit! What's great about this is that chocolate pancake mixes are already available, so you won't have to worry about making the batter from scratch. Once your stacks of chocolate goodness is complete, add the right amount of frosting and chocolate syrup. Yummy!
Here's another classic breakfast meal you can tweak to your liking. First step is to cut the toast and fruits into cubes. Now douse your French toast with a combination of sugar and cinnamon or syrup before skewering it with the fruits. And voilà! You just made the beauty that is the breakfast kebab! Too simple to be true? Believe it!
Surprise your loved one with the irresistible Eggs Benedict. Now there are two key things you need to remember when you make such a dish. The first is that the eggs should be perfectly poached so that when your loved one opens it up, the yolk will flow out immaculately. Secondly, the Hollandaise sauce should be rich both in taste and texture for the taste should perfectly complement the bacon, muffin, and the oh so marvelous egg.
What better way to show your appreciation to your Wonder Woman than by serving her the breakfast of champions! In the United Kingdome and Ireland where the dish originates, there are a lot of variations when it comes to concocting this massively complete breakfast. Fruits and cereals aren't always included in this dish, but eggs and bacon must always be included in the plate. Grilled tomatoes, sausages, and toast and jam are also regulars in this classic meal.
Along with the Breakfast Kebab, this is a dish that is also very easy to prepare; all you need are the fruits of your choice and a few rolls of crepe! You don't even need a crepe pan since you can always buy the finished product at the store. Cut your choice of fruits into cubes, wrap them in the crepe rolls, and simply top it with a hypnotic layer of whipped cream. Trust us, even if your significant other is on a diet, she won't be able to resist this dish.
Found the dish that your wife will love the most? Good! Now rush to the supermarket and start working on it! The perfect breakfast-in-bed isn't just gonna prepare itself, you know!

Knee scooters are all the rage, and they can be a really efficient way to move around when you have a knee injury. Today we wanted to outline a few things that you should think about before you purchase a knee scooter.
Do you have to use stairs?
It goes without saying, stairs are the enemy of the knee scooter.
Do you need to get into cars or buses a lot?
Think about how difficult it will be to travel alone if you need to put your knee scooter into your car. Make sure you have someone around who can help you.
What kind of terrain will you be on?
If you are on very uneven terrain, a knee scooter may tip, so make sure you will be using it in safe areas.
Is your injury any higher than your ankle?
And lastly, make sure you are not risking your healing by resting your knee and part of your shin on a knee scooter.

Cherry Blossom Festival, Four Freedoms Park Conservancy, Fourth of July, City of Water Day and Fall Arts Festival at FDR Four Freedoms Park.
Learn about the FDR sculpture bust — who made it and who makes sure the bust retains its gleaming appearance.
Four Freedoms State Park hosted high school juniors from the Intrepid Sea, Air, & Space Museum's Youth Leadership Institute for a day-long educational workshop.
Wrapping the Park's trees for winter is an essential component of the Park's preservation.
We have tallied all of the votes across all channels and are thrilled to announce that Hugo Costa's "Walking on Freedom 3" is the winner of our first Sketch 4 Freedom Contest!
Recently, Chip Shwartz of Polich Tallix came to the park to perform conservation maintenance on the Jo Davidson portrait bust.
Seventy-six years ago today on the precipice of the United States' entry to the Second World War, Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his eighth State of the Union address. In that speech, he shared his vision for a better world, a vision founded by interconnected human rights: the freedoms of religion and speech and from want and fear.
I am honored to introduce myself as the new CEO of Four Freedoms Park. I come to the Conservancy from Grameen America, a national nonprofit that provides support and small loans to women, where I served as Senior Vice President. While there, I traveled the country and spoke with women about building their own businesses in order to send their children to better schools, save for unexpected emergencies, or buy quality health insurance. Again and again, these women told me they wanted something simple, something embodied in Roosevelt's 1941 speech: "freedom from want...."
Check out photos from Four Freedoms Park's second annual Kite Flight for Peace event.
We recently learned that one of our volunteers, Charles Schwarz, passed away. Charlie, as he was known to us, joined the Four Freedoms Park community in early 2014, quickly becoming one of the most steadfast and loyal members of our volunteer group.


The first cell phone connection that I took was a prepaid connection from Idea mobile (formerly bpl mobile) from the birla group. That was because most of my students(from IT field) were having idea connection, even though airtel was the most popular network at that time.
That connection was mainly for my father's usage when he had to go to the hospital for treatment for diabetic related problems.
Then after some time, my brother took a connection from airtel. He was just going through the various options and set up caller tunes. He just used it for 1 month and realised that it was a waste of money and then cancelled it off by calling the customer service centre.
The idea connection was put to a lot of use for std calls by me for calling my fiancee. There were some nice schemes like std call of 3 minutes for one rupee or so for 1 month etc.
When we travel to Tamil nadu (roaming) the idea connection usually shifts to aircel network. There are some parts of the highway, where there is no connectivity .
Then after some time my brother took a bsnl connection and a cell phone with the capacity to handle dual simcards. He would charge it with a special recharge which would give him a lot of free calls on the bsnl network.
I also took up a bsnl prepaid connection based on the pyari jodi plan which gives me free calls to my landline number. The network coverage also seems to be better than idea network while roaming.
I usually go for recharge with full talktime via the flexi route . Some ladies do not like this because they have to leave their cell phone numbers at the shop. Idea had a nice recharge coupon at Rs. 125/- which gives full talktime.
Recently I took up a virgin mobile connection which gave an offer of 25 ps per call(per minute) even for std calls. There seems to be some tieup with tata docomo.

Q: Why doesn't Spark RDD support "flatten" Have a look at this snippet [*]:
val la = List(Array(2, 3, 5), Array(7, 11, 13))
la.flatten

returns
res1: List[Int] = List(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13)

Now, I've been playing with Spark and I stumbled upon a problem. The snippet:
val myRdd: RDD[String] = sc.textFile("myFilePath", 10) map (_.split("\n"))

does not compile as the right hand-side expression is of type RDD[Array[String]]
Like in the [*], I thought flattening would do the trick:
val myRdd: RDD[String] = (sc.textFile("myFilePath", 10) map (_.split("\n"))).flatten

But it turns out that RDD does not provide this operation. Here come my questions:

*

*What is the (design) reason behind RDD not supporting flatten?

*Am I am missing an important point on how RDDs work/should be used?

P.S.
I do know that I can just use the old good flatMap to achieve what I want
val myRdd: RDD[String] = (sc.textFile("myFilePath", 10) map (_.split("\n"))).flatMap(x => x)

A: You want to use flatMap instead of map here.
val myRdd: RDD[String] = sc.textFile("myFilePath", 10) flatMap (_.split("\n"))

Also textFile will already split the file by line so your split is unnecessary.
Flatten was not implemented because it would be difficult to implement and you can just use flatMap(identity) to the same effect. Since it would be redundant anyway it is not worth the effort to implement.  See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18855.

Tanzanian music star Ali Kiba, and sworn enemy of Wasafi record C.E.O Diamond Platinumz declined Diamond's request to make peace and perform at his Wasafi Festival.
According to Ali Kiba, he said that he could not make it because he has more important issues to attend to than Diamond's Wasafi event.
"Pia ndugu zangu #Wasafi tumepata salamu zenu, nashukuru kwa mualiko wenu, ila kwa bahati mbaya sitoweza kushiriki kwa sasa kutokana na majukumu ya kuzindua Mofaya katika nchi zingine," read part of his statement.
However, Ali Kiba said that despite his enmity with Diamond, he will continue to support Tanzanian music Industry by supporting Wasafi Festival with his Mofaya Energy drink as one of the sponsors in a bid to continue the growth of the Tanzanian arts industry in Africa.
"Hata hivyo tusingependa kuwaacha hivi hivi, tupo tayari kuwapa support ya kudhamini tamasha lenu kupitia #MofayaEnergyDrink ili kuweza kusukuma mbele gurudumu la maendeleo ya sanaa yetu Tanzania na Africa," he narrated.
However, very many people have praised Diamond for showing maturity for the first time and making an effort to bridge the gap between the two. Others also say that Diamond had to bend low and ask Ali Kiba to perform so as to have a huge turn up at his festival.

Fenty Beauty Launches a Highlighter for a Great Cause
In case you needed another reason to buy Rihanna's latest makeup product—proceeds go to a charity that helps women and children in need.
(Image credit: EVAN E. ROGERS)
By Jennifer G. Sullivan
When Rihanna began developing her makeup line in 2015, she was adamant that she wouldn't launch until she had products to suit every woman. The result: Fenty Beauty was one of the first brands to offer foundation in a range of 40 shades. But making the isles of Sephora more inclusive is only part of the singer's mission for Fenty Beauty; she also wants to raise money for causes she believes in—and inspire others to do the same.
Rihanna and a patient at Clara Braithwaite Center for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, in Barbados.
Now, efforts toward that goal are underway with a new partner-ship between Fenty Beauty and the Clara Lionel Foundation (opens in new tab) (CLF). Rihanna started the non-profit in 2012, at a time when her late grandmother, Clara Braithwaite, was fighting a battle with cancer. "She was the most caring woman, very giving, very selfless. All the women in my family strive to be like her," Rihanna has said.
The singer herself is no exception. CLF (named for Clara and her husband, Lionel, Rihanna's grandfather) supports charitable programs around the world, with a focus on education and emergency response. Since its inception, it has funded an oncology center at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the singer's home country, Barbados; launched a micro-grant program in Barbados; and donated bicycles to girls in Malawi who need transportation to and from school.
In 2017, Rihanna traveled with CLF's executive director, Justine Lucas, to Malawi, where the foundation works with the nonprofit Camfed (opens in new tab) to provide scholarships to girls attending secondary school.
A student in Senegal, where the Clara Lionel Foundation is active.
"We saw firsthand how this critical intervention helps girls avoid early marriage, early pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS," says Lucas. Many of the students who finish secondary school also go on to become entrepreneurs. Lucas remembers one example: "We met a wonderful young woman, Annie, who graduated opened her own restaurant, and is now able to support her entire family."
This month, CLF will get an influx of funds to help women like Annie as it continues its mission. Every September, Rihanna hosts the Diamond Ball, her annual fundraiser (last year's raised $5 million), and she's also donating the full sale price of each of her new highlighters to the foundation.
"We hope that this collaboration allows the Fenty Beauty community to feel not only like they're part of the CLF journey but also that they can take action on issues they are passionate about," says Lucas. "At the heart of our mission is the idea that everyone can play a part in creating a more just and equitable world by contributing in their own way."

The level of ignorance and misconceptions out there—among beginning writers and among experienced writer—always astounds me when I encounter it. Unfortunately, I encounter it all too often. Writers may know about what they do, how they do it and why they do it, but, in general, they know little about and/or have misconceptions about the business of writing and the legal underpinnings of written works. All too often, writers simply leave these matters in the hands of their agents and attorneys if they have representation, or, if they do not, trust that "somehow" these matters will take care of themselves. I have designed my course to reduce the ignorance level and dispel the misconceptions. I hope to give writers some basic knowledge so they can be, or become, successful businesspersons as well as successful writers.

...Clark had been on the court a few months when the Kansas City school desegregation case—Jenkins v. Missouri—was, he said, "dropped on his plate...
...And well they might have...
...Too many fatherless children, he had begun to feel...
...The [district] is not in any way segregating its students or otherwise discriminating on the basis of race," Whipple ruled...
...Within a year, however, chief justice Fred vinJack Cashill is a writer and TV producer in Kansas City, Missouri...
...Party activists, almost to a person, had come to support a loosely defined "living Constitution...
...BY JACK CASHILL ON NOVEMBER 17, federal district judge Dean Whipple dismissed the Kansas City school desegregation lawsuit that had placed the city's schools under the control of federal judges for two decades...
...I always think Judge Clark tried to do the right things," says former Kansas City School Board president Ed Newsome, "but he was always given pretty bad plans with which to operate...
...Says he matter-of-fact-ly of the era's judicial power grab, "We did not do anything that Congress should not have done...
...They liked praise and responded to it...
...He chafed at the restraints the Supreme Court had imposed, and now doubted whether he could solve the district's problems even without them...
...Chief justice William Rehnquist, writing now for the majority, admonished Clark to forget about test scores and "restore state and local authorities to the control of the school system...
...Yet all these causes had received a friendly hearing from the courts...
...It was an astonishing decision, clearly the toughest of Clark's career...
...But Whipple, a Reagan appointee, has now begun to shed those responsibilities...
...Legendary justice Felix Frankfurter, sensing it had little chance before a Court more interested in constitutional tradition than in good causes, maneuvered for its postponement...
...Clark had worked in various campaigns on behalf of his good friend and fellow Democrat, senator Tom Eagleton...
...He did not seek it out...
...His role and that of his appointed Desegregation Monitoring Committee, he feared, only compounded the problems of school management...
...Not since boxer Roberto Duran held up his gloved hands and whimpered "No más" had the world seen such an abject surrender...
...Democrats controlled the presidency and both houses...
...The timing was crucial...
...Missouri had responded to Brown by "permitting" local districts to integrate...
...Clark proved to be an unapologetic improviser in the take-charge FDR/ Truman mold...
...Their outrage did them little immediate good...
...Buildings were crumbling, test scores were dropping, and white kids were leaving...
...And so, after 20 years on this notorious case, Russell Clark handed his supervisory duties over to Dean Whipple...
...Far more damaging to democracy would have been the experiment's apparent success...
...Judge Clark, as fate would have it, graduated from the segregated law school at University of Missouri in Columbia in 1952, the year Brown v. Board of Education first reached the Supreme Court...
...And by 1977, when Russell Clark became a federal judge, the momentum of the courts was so strong, and its direction so defined, that few in either party cared—or dared—to get in its way...
...Brown, which ruled "separate but equal" schools for blacks and whites unconstitutional, was hailed as a great moral victory, but its effect on schools in states like Missouri, which had mandated segregation, would be slow and ambiguous...
...In his landmark dismissal last week, he lamented that Kansas City's schools suffered from "too many chefs in the kitchen...
...Unlike Truman, whose urge to act could be checked—as it often was—by the two other branches of government, Clark was accountable only to his fellow judges, and they continued to support him, for a time...
...As Arthur Benson, the plaintiff's attorney in the Kansas City desegregation case, tells it, Clark was "up at 5 a.m...
...The landmark case wouldn't be decided until 1954...
...Although the 22 years of federal control proved something of a failure, they were not a tragedy...
...For 25 years, Clark worked hard and well for a small Springfield firm specializing in defense litigation...
...After eight uneventful years on the case, Clark decided in 1985 that Kansas City citizens were clearly not up to the task of funding good enough schools...
...The school district this fall had failed to meet any of the state's 11 performance standards...
...Clark's innovation, one put forward by the plaintiffs' "educational and desegregation experts," was not to bus kids by force in from the suburbs but to attract them by making the city schools more alluring...
...Meanwhile, Russell Clark was back in Missouri living the simple life...
...So ended the most costly and ambitious desegregation project in American history, one that has left Kansas City schools less competitive and more segregated than they were when the federal judiciary took them over 22 years ago...
...son died and was replaced by the Republican governor of California, Earl Warren, who knew a winning issue when he saw one...
...too little motivation at home...
...In 1990, the Supreme Court voted to uphold most of Clark's tax decision, but the margin was only 5-4, and the opposition was growing stronger...
...Ashcroft's words), the magnet schools never really worked...
...It has not done so for years...
...Despite the expenditure of vast sums . . . and the passage of 40 years since the end of official, de jure, segregation," Whip-ple wrote, the district "still struggles to provide an adequate education to its pupils...
...Never lost a wink of sleep over the case," he now says dispassionately...
...Indeed, he insisted that the courts would oversee the schools until the city's students reached the national norm on academic achievement, even if it took a generation...
...Missourians who cared about their history—and about their taxes—were outraged by Clark's decision...
...More troubling still, the locals had lost the will to protest...
...After Carter's election, Eagleton secured for Clark the first judgeship to come open in the Western District Federal Court...
...Hamilton and his fellow Founders had gone to war over a comparable affront by the British...
...In theory at least, this remedy seemed less divisive than forced busing...
...Still and all, and despite legendary spending levels ("a gold-plated Taj Mahal . . . planetariums, pools and pay increases," in Sen...
...Then Democrat Jimmy Carter was elected president...
...By early 1997, Clark dreaded the daily drive to Kansas City and the interminable hearings...
...And to build the schools, the state and the district would have to bust their bank accounts and foot a huge bill—$2 billion, in the end...
...By the 1970s, almost every controversial liberal issue—from the effort to abolish the death penalty to the abolition of school prayer, from due process rights for criminals to the free expression rights of pornographers—would likely have been rejected by Congress and most state legislatures...
...So he made the boldest move of his or any judge's career: He unilaterally doubled taxes on Kansas City property owners and raised the payroll taxes on its workforce...
...But hey, if Harry Truman could drop the A-bomb without hesitation or regret, Judge Russell Clark wasn't going to brood over a school tax...
...Many things ailed urban schools like Kansas City's, but it turned out those ills were not cured by the presence of white students or a lavish physical plant...
...No taxation without representation," they protested, a rallying cry that echoed down the centuries until it fell on deaf ears in a Kansas City courthouse...
...Inexorably, dramatically even, the political culture shifted...
...He brought to the task an activist's faith in the moral power of the courts and a residual guilt over the nation's racial history...
...But he did not shy away from it either...
...And voters rejected one initiative after another to fix the schools...
...No más...
...Now, suddenly responsible for their schools for the first time in a generation, the people of Kansas City have a chance to do better...
...In 1971, the Court gave its blessing to forced busing as a remedy for persistent segregation...
...Probably no American since general Douglas MacArthur in occupied Japan had exercised such unlimited suzerainty over so many people as Judge Whip-ple did in Kansas City...
...As it happens, Whipple, thanks to consent decrees in other federal lawsuits, was already running the Kansas City Housing Authority, Jackson County jails, and Jackson County foster care...
...The weightiest issues—race, criminal justice, abortion—were increasingly the province of courts, and not elected officials...
...How this sober, God-fearing gentleman and yellow dog Democrat came to sacrifice common sense and the rule of law in a case that Missouri senator John Ashcroft once called a "testament to tyranny" deserves retelling...
...Even Clark's critics acknowledge that the case looked ripe for intervention...
...Perhaps without fully realizing it, Clark had crossed a constitutional Rubicon...
...Activists came to see that their causes could be advanced more surely in a sympathetic court than in the democratic hurly-burly of a hostile legislature...
...Probably not...
...Two minor technicalities: New magnet schools would have to be created in Kansas City that truly were attractive...
...By 1969, black students had become a majority in the district, but the voting majority remained white...
...Like his home state hero Harry Truman, Judge Clark was well into his 50s before he made his own reluctant debut in "the bigs...
...For the first 20 of those years, the case was managed by judge Russell Gentry Clark...
...I don't know," he mused, "if the disparity [between Kansas City's black and white students] can ever be eliminated...
...Clark, despite protest, would not relent...
...Brown's effect on judges and their ambitions was more immediate...
...Significantly for Kansas City, the Supreme Court had made its fateful shift from prohibiting racial segregation in the schools to insisting on "racial balance...
...The Kansas City school district had taken the hint, and its own sweet time, redrawing boundaries throughout the 1950s and '60s partly to keep black students in black schools...
...The guidance of a federal judge was not about to change that, and he knew it...
...In the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton had defended judicial independence precisely because judges would not control the purse...
...The judicial momentum for court-supervised integration as the answer to bad schools stalled, and in June 1995 the Supreme Court rapped Clark's knuckles...
...He also levied a huge assessment against the state of Missouri and launched the biggest one-man building project since Ramses II raised his pyramid: 17 new schools and the rehabilitation of 55 old ones...
Vol. 5 • December 1999 • No. 12


This bra is one of our absolute faves! The buttery soft memory foam cups that line the delicate lace make this bra as comfortable and supportive as your T-Shirt bra. Plus, it has convertible straps for a cross-back option.


Isnt the Pandavas' killing their own relatives over a property dispute immoral?
Wouldn't such killing lead to chaos today? Isn't Krishna's insisting on in in the Gita also immoral?
It is very unfortunate that people get information about Indian history from TV and other unauthorized channels. A proper government should ban wrong depiction of the Indian history by unscrupulous media and entertainment entities from twisting the truth and contaminating people's consciousness.


Racing 92 fell to a surprise defeat at Pau to fall six points behind Montpellier, who narrowly beat Bordeaux to pull clear at the Top 14 summit.
Montpellier won 11-10 on home soil, Jan Serfontein's try adding to a pair of Ruan Pienaar penalties, with Bordeaux left to count the cost of failing to convert either of Ed Fidow's scores.
Charlie Slade impressed for Pau, booting 11 points, as they kept their noses ahead of Racing throughout.
Watisoni Votu scored a second-half double to help Pau move level on points with Toulon and Toulouse in the final play-off spots, ahead of those sides' assignments on Sunday.
Racing's reverse snapped an eight-game winning run across all competitions and Castres are now just three points behind them in the table after beating Lyon 33-22.
Benjamin Urdapilleta kicked three penalties and converted veteran flanker Rodrigo Capo Ortega's score as Castres took a 16-7 lead into the interval.
They were soon behind, though, as Toby Arnold crossed twice, but the reliable Urdapilleta split the posts again before adding the extras to tries from Armand Batlle and Julien Dumora to take the game away from Lyon.
Agen climbed out of the bottom two by beating Stade Francais 36-34 in a thriller, while rock-bottom Oyonnax beat Clermont 18-12, just their second win of the season.
