Johaug dominates over 15 kilometers freestyle at will
Therese Johaug (NOR, Fischer skis, bindings and boots) skied more than 15 kilometers freestyle in her own world and was 1:05 minutes faster than Charlotte Kalla (SWE, Fischer skis and bindings), this time the biggest rival just ahead of Ingvild Flugstad Østberg (NOR, Fischer skis, bindings and boots). Over 30 kilometers of men's freestyle, Martin Johnsrud Sundby (NOR, Fischer skis, bindings and boots) took second place ahead of Andrey Melnichenko (RUS, Fischer skis, bindings and boots), who took his first podium spot.
Under light snowfall at five degrees below zero, the women's 15 kilometers took place as the first World Cup race of the season on a natural snow surface. Therese Johaug had decided on starting number 31, the first bib number in the red group of the World Cup best, to set a sign and to present a time at which the other athletes should bite their teeth. Although the course is not as difficult as in recent weeks in Ruka and Lillehammer, the lap was slightly shorter than the official five kilometers in length and Johaug had more traffic on the track than the late-start Kalla and Pärmäkoski, she began at the end of the first lap to extend her lead against her competitors and raced to the next victory. Nobody could be fit to hold a candle to her by far. "I was very tired after Lillehammer, and then I rested and I think the shape was good today. I took a lot of good energy into the race, I concentrated on the technique and I am glad that here in Beitostølen, where I like the tracks very well, I raced so well", said the dominator of the distance races. At the finish, she was unbelievable 65 seconds ahead of Charlotte Kalla, who kept up best with Johaug at the end of the race and was rewarded with second place just ahead of Ingvild Flugstad Østberg. Ebba Andersson (SWE, Fischer skis, bindings and boots) lost ten seconds to her rivals in the last three kilometers, so she missed the podium this time. Fifth went to Anastasia Sedova (RUS, Fischer skis and bindings), who started later into the season due to heart problems. Natalia Nepryaeva (RUS, Fischer skis, bindings and boots) finished seventh. Ragnhild Haga (NOR, Fischer skis, bindings and boots) was ninth, almost two minutes behind, followed by the now 40 years old Riitta-Liisa Roponen (FIN, Fischer skis, bindings and boots) and Teresa Stadlober (AUT, Fischer Ski , Bindings and boots).

Surprisingly early in the competition, slow starter Martin Johnsrud Sundby set the pace and was the fastest in the first half of the race. From kilometer 15, Sjur Røthe (NOR) set the best time after winning the freestyle race in Lillehammer. He was clearly faster than the others in the last ten kilometers and won 35 seconds ahead of Sundby. Andrey Melnichenko secured the first podium finish of his life in third, 49 seconds behind, having finished fifth last week. Russia's Denis Spitsov (RUS, Fischer skis, bindings and boots), the third of last week, was visibly bad in the middle of the race: he had to vomit while skiing. He did not lose much time, however, keeping the gap to Sjur Røthe almost constant until the finish, rewarding him with eighth place ahead of the surprisingly strong Magne Haga (NOR, Fischer skis, bindings and boots), who became ninth like his sister Ragnhild. Didrik Tønseth (NOR, Fischer skis, bindings and boots) completed the Norwegian-Russian Top10.

Find the best iPhone for youCompare iPhone models.
Does iPhone work with any SIM card or carrier worldwide?
The iPhone models currently sold on the Apple website work with nano-SIM cards from compatible carriers. And they work on many 4G LTE networks around the world. Contact service providers for details.
Do I need an iPhone-specific service plan?
Yes, you do. When you buy iPhone from the Apple website, it is sold unlocked. You can contact a carrier directly to learn about the plans available for iPhone.
Which capacity is right for me?
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus come in three capacities: 32GB, 128GB and 256GB. Jet Black and (PRODUCT)RED™ come in 128GB and 256GB capacities. GB stands for gigabytes. The more gigabytes you have, the more content you can store on your iPhone, such as apps, games, photos, HD videos, music and movies. If you have a large music or photo library, or lots of apps, it's a good idea to consider an iPhone with a larger capacity. If you rarely download apps or you don't take many photos or videos, an iPhone with a smaller capacity may be better for you.
Do I need to commit to a long-term contract for my iPhone?
Buying a SIM-free iPhone from the Apple website allows you to choose your own carrier and change carriers at any time. iPhone may also be available at a lower price with a contract directly from your carrier.
Can I use the SIM card in my iPhone with my iPad?
No. iPhone SIM cards are not interchangeable with the SIM card in your iPad.
Will all iPhone features work with my network?
The majority of features will work with your network. Certain features such as Visual Voicemail require carrier support and may not function on your carrier's network. Contact your carrier for more details or read the wireless carrier support and features article for more information.
Why does the price of iPhone on the Apple website differ from a carrier's price?
Carriers typically sell iPhone with a contract that subsidises the initial purchase price. By purchasing your iPhone without a contract, you can use any SIM card from a compatible carrier, including your current one.
Can I use my iPhone outside my home country or region?
Yes. iPhone is enabled to work on networks using GSM around the world. Because an iPhone sold on the Apple website is unlocked, you can purchase a SIM card and service from a local carrier at your destination. Or check with your home carrier regarding international roaming charges.
If I buy an iPhone from the Apple website, can I ship it to another country or region?
No. Orders placed through the Apple website can be shipped only within the country or region of purchase. You can also shop for friends and family members in countries where iPhone is sold. Just visit the Apple website of the country or region where you want your products delivered. Or for fast, easy ordering and expert advice, call an Apple Store Specialist on 0800-692-7753.
Does the iPhone 8 Plus have Animoji?
No, the 8 plus does not have the true depth camera on the front so it is not possible for it to use No, the 8 plus does not have the true depth camera on the front so it is not possible for it to use animoji.
Yes. The iPhone 5 and up all have the same charger.
yes, as long as you have lightning connector if the headphone is in 3.5mm jack. But if the headphone yes, as long as you have lightning connector if the headphone is in 3.5mm jack. But if the headphone already have lightning connector, just plug and play!
Is iPhone 8plus larger size convenient or inconvenient?
Is the IPhone 8 waterproof?
* An approximation. Fees may vary over time.
Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 10GB to 12GB of space (including iOS and preinstalled apps), depending on the model and settings. Preinstalled apps use about 4GB, and you can delete and restore them.

The Nordic Welfare Centre (NVC) concludes a framework agreement with a company for the delivery of services for a fixed period of time in accordance with the Public Procurement Act.
During the contract period, NVC purchases services covered by the framework agreement from suppliers other than the company with which the agreement was entered into. However, it considers that it has the exclusive right to provide the services and therefore brings an action against NVC.
The Supreme Court, after interpreting the framework agreement, finds that it confers the exclusive right to provide the services covered.
The Nordic Welfare Centre (NVC) is an institution within the Nordic Council of Ministers' welfare sector.
NVC holds a contract for a framework agreement – that is, an agreement in which the terms are largely predetermined rather than negotiated between the parties – for the supply of services linked to, inter alia, marketing.
Idermark and Lagerwall Reklam AB (the consultant) win the procurement and subsequently enter into an agreement with NVC.
The agreement is concluded for a period of just under four years and entails an obligation for the consultant to deliver all the services requested by NVC during the contract period.
However, it does not provide any guarantees to the consultant regarding order volumes from NVC.
After some time, it appears that NVC ordered services of the same kind as those covered by the agreement from suppliers other than the consulting company.
Since the consultant is of the opinion that the contract entails an exclusive right for them to deliver the services in question, NVC's conduct is considered a breach of contract.
It therefore brings an action against NVC in the District Court (TR) with a claim for damages for non-payment.
The question to be answered by TR is therefore whether the framework agreement confers an exclusive right on the consultancy to deliver the agreed services to NVC during the term of the contract.
No direct regulation of the issue can be found in the Public Procurement Act (LOU), which is why the court instead interprets the agreement as such.
As a preliminary point, TR states that contracts must primarily be interpreted in accordance with the will of the common party – that is to say, the meaning intended by the parties at the time of the conclusion of the agreement is given.
As the court does not consider that the evidence presented in the case indicates that there was any common will to the parties, the express content of the agreement is instead looked at.
The question of exclusive rights is not directly regulated in the text of the contract.
What the court notes, however, is that the agreement represents a clear imbalance to the consultant's detriment if given the meaning advocated by NVC.
Such an interpretation would mean that NVC would unilaterally decide which services – if any – are to be purchased during the term of the contract.
A possible outcome would thus be that the consultant would not receive any orders at all from NVC.
According to TR, a contract to that effect would constitute an unreasonable regulation of the interests of the parties and it is therefore found that the framework agreement confers an exclusive right on the consultancy firm to provide the covered services.
The Court of Appeal (HovR) sees no obvious answer to the question of possible exclusive rights and therefore seeks guidance in the preparatory work for LOU.
According to the travaux préparatoires, such issues are primarily to be regulated in individual framework agreements.
The court therefore proceeds to interpret the agreement.
HovR points out that it is more difficult to establish a common will of the parties in the case of framework agreements, as there is hardly any scope for the parties to negotiate contractual terms.
The consultant has presented some evidence regarding the parties' contact prior to the conclusion of the contract.
However, HovR does not consider the evidence to be strong enough to draw any firm conclusions regarding the joint will of the parties regarding the exclusive right to deliver the services.
Further, the court finds nothing to suggest existing industry practice or past practice between the parties that could indicate what usually applies in similar cases.
In summary, the court does not see the evidence in the case as strong enough to draw any conclusions as to whether the consultant had exclusive rights.
Since it is up to the consultant to prove that the agreement must be given the meaning they advocate, there is no exclusive right why NVC wins the case.
Nor does the Supreme Court find that the issue is directly regulated by law, which is why it instead interprets the agreement itself.
As a preliminary point, the Court argues that contracts can generally be assumed to serve a sensible function and constitute a reasonable regulation of the interests of both parties.
The right therefore takes that assumption as a starting point when interpreting the contract.
HD notes that the framework agreement entails far-reaching obligations and costly commitments for the consultant.
They are obliged to provide quotations for all the assignments requested by NVC, to keep their delivery capacity intact throughout the term of the contract and to ensure a stable and long-term relationship with regard to prices and deliveries.
This indicates, according to HD, that the agreement should be considered to imply exclusive rights as a different interpretation would be an unreasonable regulation of the parties' interests.
In addition, the agreement contains a provision according to which NVC has the right to withdraw during the contract period with a notice period of twelve months.
The Court considers that such a provision would be meaningless if NVC were nevertheless free to purchase services from any supplier during the term of the contract.
Furthermore, the Court notes that, in the context of the procurement, NVC stated that framework agreements are to be concluded with only one supplier who shall have NVC as one of its highest priority customers throughout the duration of the contract.
Even such a wording suggests, according to the Court, that the agreement must be interpreted in the opinion of the consultant.
In summary, the HD finds that the preponderance of evidence suggests that the framework agreement entails exclusive rights, which is why the consultant wins the case.

The Transfer of Authority (ToA) of the first German A400M under EATC Operational Control (OPCON) has taken place.
The A400M with the tail number 54+01 is operated by the Air Transport Wing 62 located at Wunstorf Airbase near Hannover. The aircraft was handed over to the German Air Force three months ago and is now ready to take on the first EATC tasks.
The French Air Force already operates six A400M – of which five are EATC assigned.
Few days ago a French A400M successfully completed its first mission to New Caledonia and back.


After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in the ashes, perched like a statue on the ground at the base of a tree.
Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently stuck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of the impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise.
She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.
Arrive at a meeting late, say you're sorry, but you didn't have time for lunch, and you're going to be nibbling during the meeting. During the meeting eat 5 raw potatoes.
Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them to sign a waiver.
Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if they want fries with that.
Name all your pens and insist that meetings can't begin until they're all present.
Include a piece of your children's artwork as a cover page for all reports that you write. If you don't have children, draw stick figures yourself.
Agree to organize the company Christmas party. Hold it at McDonald's Playland. Charge everyone $25 each.
Organize a carpool. Go to pick everyone up in a taxi.
Hang mistletoe over your desk.
Put decaf in the coffeemaker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
For months Bill had been Lynn's devoted admirer. Now, at long last, he had collected up sufficient courage to ask her the most momentous of all questions.
A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million. It depends whose hands it's in.
A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. A baseball in Mark McGwire's hands is worth $19 million. It depends whose hands it's in.
A tennis racket is useless in my hands. A tennis racket in Venus Williams hands is a Wimbledon Championship. It depends whose hands it's in.
A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea. It depends whose hands it's in.
A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy. A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in.
Two fish and five loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches. Two fish and five loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands. It depends whose hands it's in.
Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire world. It depends whose hands it's in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and your relationships in God's hands because it really does depend on whose hands it's in.


Question: How Do I Keep Her Interested Without Being Possessive?
How do I keep her interested without being possessive?
But if I stop texting her will she think I've gone off her? or somethings wrong?
If you text too often then she'll have no time to miss you.
The easiest way to not act needy is to NOT BE needy.
Your concerns are valid, but not to the degree that you're worrying about them.
1) The truth is that any girl who's REALLY into you isn't going to wander away when she doesn't hear from you… she's going to seek you out even harder.
If she's flaky enough to lose interest then you should definitely let her go. Women like this are not meant to be with you.. they're meant to be with the next shiny object they discover.
If she's on the phone while standing with you, during a photo, then she's losing interest.
3) I would definitely let her initiate contact WAY more often then she currently is. Try to make it 50 / 50. This will help you find out how interested she really is AND it'll help her invest more effort into the relationship. The more invested she becomes the better.
If you're doing all the work you'll give her nothing to think about… but when you stop texting as often it invites her mind to wonder what you're doing. This mystery keeps you on her mind, and on her redial.

Q: what's the difference and affect of set[sync-log=false]for tidb In tidb ,when open sync-log ,disk io util can be over 90%,after set sync-log=false,it goes down to 1%,what's the bad effect of this config?

A: In short, sync-log=true keeps data safe, but hurts performance.
TiDB is based on the Raft consensus algorithm, it needs to make sure every
raft log is persisted to the majority's disk before committing them. To make
sure a log is persisted, we need two steps:

*

*write(log_fd, log)

*fsync(log_fd)

When sync-log=false, TiDB skips fsync, it helps performance and is safe if
there is no power failure. Set it to true, your data is always intact even if
there is a power failure.

As reported earlier, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh extended an olive branch towards Katrina Kaif by inviting her for their wedding reception in Mumbai.

Recently, during an interview with PinkVilla, Kat had spoken at length about attending the reception. "I was invited by them for sure and the instinct in my heart was to go, I felt I would like to go. There was no other thought behind it. We had very nice, warm and a happy night. There was a lot of love and we all danced and ate and had great fun! I was there till the wee hours of the morning."
"... and I think I ate half of the chocolate and might not be invited to any of their functions again but we had a really wonderful time. There was a lot of warmth between everyone and it was really beautiful. We all had a really nice time and I was really happy to be there," said Katrina.
Now, speaking of her changed equation with Katrina and making peace with her, Deepika, in her interview with Filmfare said, "A lot of water has flown under the bridge. For me, just the fact that she came and was very present was gracious."
"I've always been fond of her. You know, just the way that she's been over the years, and with her work and I have a lot of respect for that. I made my peace with her," she added.

We are thrilled to have Kariyma Murphy join our community as one of the two 2016/2017 Design Continuum Fund Scholarship recipients. Kariyma is a senior in graphic design at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and her existing work is not only strong, but also brimming with promise of greater things to come. Take a moment to learn more about this passionate change agent.
Thank you! It feels amazing to be recognized by AIGA DC, and I'm really excited to get to know the growing community of designers in the DC area.
Randy (Opening Title Sequence) from Kariyma Murphy on Vimeo.
I grew up watching a lot of Cartoon Network, I really loved animation and the designs of really graphic characters like Samurai Jack. When I was in elementary school, my Dad was doing grad school at ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles. He as a graphic designer and I used to watch him make work, go with him to some of his classes, and explore the work in his department. I remember watching him make a motion graphic about black American history to Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" and that really piqued my interest in graphic design. I explored graphic design more in high school and had a really encouraging teacher who suggested I go to art school. I applied for the Maryland Institute College of Art intending to be a graphic design major and now it's my last year of college.
Tell us a bit about the projects you have been working on while attending MICA and those that relate outside of MICA.
I'm really thankful that I've gotten to explore the breadth of graphic design like motion graphics, UX design, and (right now) digital fabrication. One of the best experiences from my time at MICA was participating in the MICA Social Design practice-based studio. The task for the semester was to create a design intervention with middle-school students about the dangers of youth drinking. Exploring possible solutions together with the students allowed for valuable insights and the students revealed that the best intervention was letting them critique drinking culture to their peers. By researching and involving the students in the process, we created an intervention that supported their voices. One project I created outside of MICA was a motion graphics project dedicated to the song Mash by J Dilla. It is really enjoyable and I really hope to do more motion-graphics work similar to that project really soon.
So what's next after school? Will it include a social impact component?
I'm not sure yet, but I'm making a list. I have a better idea of what I kind of environment I would like to work in and I'm exploring different options. Ideally, I would like to enter a firm that emphasizes human-centered design and stay in the D.C. area (hey, IDEO!), but I'm also interested in experiencing a more intimate studio space. I would love to stay in Baltimore for a few more years. I think the art scene here is vibrating, there's a lot of amazing programing going on surrounding art and social justice. But I'm still figuring it out.

WARC's Global Ad Trends - A focus on search advertising
ACN Newswire
Search now accounts for one in five dollars spent on advertising worldwide. Buoyed by mobile growth, voice and image bring new marketing opportunities
LONDON, May 31, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - Search advertising is the focus of the latest monthly Global Ad Trends report by WARC, the international authority on advertising and media effectiveness, digesting up-to-date insights and evidenced thinking from the worldwide advertising industry.
Following an analysis of WARC's adspend data for its 12 key markets - Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, United Kingdom and United States - search advertising spend will amount to $100.5bn in 2018, an increase of 11% from $90.5bn in 2017. This equates to one in five dollars spent on advertising worldwide this year.
Mobile is driving growth in the search market, eroding display's share of advertising spend
Mobile search is expected to attract $62.7bn this year - 62.4% of total search spend within WARC's 12 key markets. Mobile's share of total search spend has near doubled since 2015, driving wider sector growth.
Across mobile and desktop, paid search's share of global advertising spend has trebled over the last decade, rising to over a fifth this year. Search's share is expected to reach 22% in the US this year, 26% in China, and near 30% in the UK. Most of these gains have been at the expense of display formats.
James McDonald, Data Editor, WARC, says: "In its function as a pull medium, search has done more than replace classified - it is steadily eating into the share of advertising expenditure going to display. Emerging formats such as mobile voice and image look likely to continue this trend. This may be a sign that brands are shifting budget; though it more likely reflects a multitude of SME advertisers who have started spending due to the accessibility of the format."
The four largest players made $101bn last year
Analysis of company reports shows that the four largest providers - Google, Baidu, Yahoo and Microsoft's Bing - made a combined $101bn from paid search in 2017, of which $10.5bn came from outside WARC's 12 key markets. Google dominates the landscape, drawing an estimated $85.8bn in 2017 (up 20% from 2016). Badiu ($10bn), Yahoo ($3bn) and Microsoft ($1.8bn) follow some way behind, but all saw revenues grow.
Google also dominates user share across desktop and mobile
Google attracts the vast majority of search revenue because it is the dominant player in terms of users. This is particularly true for mobile users, with 89.3% preferring Google's search service.
Figures from April 2018 show that Google's share dips closer to two-thirds (66.8%) in the more mature desktop market. Baidu controls a fifth (20.5%), Bing takes 7.7%, Yahoo 3.5%, and others 1.5%.
Click through and conversion rates for search ads outperform online display across all categories, though costs are often higher as a result
Data for 16 product categories show that paid search routinely outperforms online display advertising in terms of both conversion and click through (CTR) rates. On average, search ads recorded a CTR of 3.3% compared to just 0.57% for online display. With regard to conversion rates, search's average is 4.32% compared to display's 1.09%.
The stronger results from search advertising come at a cost for advertisers. On average, the cost per click (CPC) for search ads is over four times higher than for display, at $3.00.
Voice and image search have room to grow
Smartphones are driving voice search, with data showing that 47% of users utilise voice tech at least once a month on a global level. Of those that use voice tech at least once a week, the top six activities are search related, including online searches (60% of users), finding information on a product (53%), asking questions (50%), asking for directions (42%) and finding information on a brand or company (41%).
Neurological research shows that when people ask a question involving a brand name, their brain activity demonstrates a significantly stronger emotional response compared to people typing that same brand question. This emphasises the need for brands to craft the sound of their own voices.
Image search is also gaining momentum, with half (51%) of UK millennials having used the feature, while almost a fifth (17.6%) already do so regularly. Households with children also demonstrate similar adoption levels to millennials. However, brands looking to advertise against visual search queries may have to wait some time before digital platforms advance inventory beyond basic text-style search terms.
Global media analysis: A round-up of search advertising
- 3.3% average click through rate (CTR) for search ads4.3% average conversion rate for search ads
- 17.2% compound annual growth rate for Google's search revenue
- 17.6% of UK millennials regularly using image search
- 21.9% search's share of global advertising spend this year
- 89.3% Google's share of the mobile search engine market

Q: multidimensional very large array Hi i want to use multidimensional very large array. I tried following code. It compiles but when i execute it it gives me segmentation fault error.
'int NT = 35; int NX = 25; int NY = 25; int NZ = 25;
double dt = 0.1; double dx = 0.5; double dy = 0.5; double dz = 0.5;

double PosT[NT];
double PosX[NX]; double PosY[NY]; double PosZ[NZ];

for(int i=0;i<NT;i++)
    PosT[i] = i*dt+dt;
for(int i=0; i<NX;i++)
    PosX[i] = dx*i;
for(int i=0; i<NY;i++)
    PosY[i] = dy*i;
for(int i=0; i<NZ;i++)
    PosZ[i] = dz*i;

double* b_x=(double*)malloc(NX*NY*NZ*sizeof(double));
double* b_y=(double*)malloc(NX*NY*NZ*sizeof(double));
double** B=(double**)malloc(NX*NY*NZ*NT*sizeof(double*));

if(b_x==NULL||b_y==NULL){
    cout<<"Malloc space error!"<<endl;
    return 0;
}
    for(int ix=0;ix<NX;ix++){
        for(int iy=0;iy<NY;iy++){
            for(int iz=0;iz<NZ;iz++){
                int position=ix*NY*NZ+iy*NZ+iz;
                b_x[position] =0.;
                b_y[position] =0.;
            }
        }
    }'

but when i work in below part then i got segmentation error, my codes next part is following lines which include 2d arrays. and this 2d array is very large ,
perhaps due to this i am getting segmentation error
    'if(B==NULL){
    cout<<"Malloc space error!"<<endl;
    return 0;
    }
    cout<<"work"<<endl;
        for(int ix=0;ix<NX;ix++){
        for(int iy=0;iy<NY;iy++){
            for(int iz=0;iz<NZ;iz++){
                int position=ix*NY*NZ+iy*NZ+iz;
                for(int it=0;it<NT;it++){
                B[position][it]=0.;
            }
        }
    }
}
 cout<<"not working"<<endl;'

so code between work and not working has problem which causes segmentation error. Any solutions for this.

A:
int NT = 35; int NX = 25; int NY = 25; int NZ = 25;

For simplicity, let's change all of these to NT=NX=NY=NZ=2. This line:
double** B=(double**)malloc(NX*NY*NZ*NT*sizeof(double*));

would then allocate space for 16 pointers. On the first iteration through the loops, this line:
B[position][it]=0.;

would be equivalent to:
double *tmp = B[0];  // Load uninitialized pointer from B[0]
tmp[0] = 0.0;        // Dereference uninitialized pointer to store something.

It shouldn't be at all surprising that this code results in a SIGSEGV.
What you probably meant:
double *B = malloc(NX*NY*NZ*NT*sizeof(double));
for(int ix = 0; ix < NX; ix++) {
  for(int iy = 0; iy < NY; iy++) {
    for(int iz = 0; iz < NZ; iz++) {
       for(int it = 0; it < NT; it++) {
         int position = NT * (NZ * (NY * ix + iy) + iz) + it;
         B[position] = 0.0;
       }
    }
  }
}


Abstract. This article describes a new Stata routine, xtcsd, to test for the presence of cross-sectional dependence in panels with many cross-sectional units and few time-series observations. The command executes three different testing procedures—namely, Friedman's (Journal of the American Statistical Association 32: 675–701) (FR) test statistic, the statistic proposed by Frees (Journal of Econometrics 69: 393–414), and the cross-sectional dependence (CD) test of Pesaran (General diagnostic tests for cross-section dependence in panels [University of Cambridge, Faculty of Economics, Cambridge Working Papers in Economics, Paper No. 0435]). We illustrate the command with an empirical example.

Prince Philip, 98, Spends Second Night in London Hospital for 'Observation and Treatment'
Karen Mizoguchi
People December 21, 2019
Prince Philip is remaining at the King Edward VII Hospital in London for a second night.
The royal is expected to stay overnight once again on Saturday, one day after Buckingham Palace confirmed his hospitalization on Friday.
"The Duke of Edinburgh travelled from Norfolk this morning to the King Edward VII Hospital in London for observation and treatment in relation to a pre-existing condition. The admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness' Doctor," the palace said in a previous statement.
On Friday, a royal source told PEOPLE that Prince Philip did not travel by ambulance. "It was a planned admission, and he walked into the hospital unaided," the source said.

That same day, Queen Elizabeth was seen arriving in Norfolk by train following her annual train ride from London. The monarch traditionally spends Christmas in Norfolk.
It's unclear how long her husband will stay in the hospital — and if he'll miss Christmas with the family.
On Saturday, The Telegraph reported that Prince Philip is expected to join his family for the holiday: "Despite increasing fears for the Duke's health it is hoped he will be discharged and return to Sandringham to join the rest of his family in time for Christmas."

Prince Philip retired from his public duties in August 2017. (He has also been absent from Trooping the Colour celebrations since his retirement.)
And in recent years, he has been plagued by health issues.
He abruptly canceled his appearance at the traditional Maundy church service that he was scheduled to attend with the monarch in March 2018. Philip also skipped Easter Sunday services last year ahead of the announcement that he underwent hip replacement surgery.
The royal also had a scary car accident in January that resulted in him voluntarily giving up his license.
Last month, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth marked their 72nd wedding anniversary but they spent the day apart due to her solo duties in London.

Famous Hufflepuffs through the ages
Published on Jan 28th 2016
SoSo you've been sorted into Hufflepuff. Here are some kindly heroes from your Hogwarts house to inspire you…
'You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil'
The Sorting Hat, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Helga Hufflepuff
'Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad' was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Known for being kind and caring, and especially loved for her food-related charms. While the other founders prized daring and cunning, Helga reportedly welcomed all students, particularly hard workers.
Bridget Wenlock
A famous thirteenth-century witch celebrated for her skills in Arithmancy. Protective of her theorems, she wrote many of her ideas down in invisible ink making them somewhat easy to misplace. Bridget was the first to discover the magical significance of the number seven.
Magizoologist Newton Artemis Fido Scamander, 'Newt' to his readers, was the author of trusted Hogwarts textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Passionate about magical creatures from an early age, he travelled the world observing beasts and their behaviour in the wild. In 1926, he visited New York on just such an adventure…
Head of Hufflepuff house, her hat may have been patched but there was nothing shabby about Professor Sprout's knowledge of all things Herbology. From her greenhouse classroom she taught students how to handle dangerous plants like Mandrakes and Bubotubers.
Cedric Diggory
Cedric Diggory was Hufflepuff house's Quidditch team captain and Seeker. In his sixth year at Hogwarts, he became one of the Triwizard Champions. Good, kind, brave, and a credit to his house.
Not your average witch, or your average Hufflepuff, 'Don't-call-me-Nymphadora' Tonks is an Auror and Metamorphmagus – born with the ability to control her appearance at will, without the aid of a wand. Funny, slightly clumsy but as bright as her ever-changing hair colour, Tonks was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
House ghost: The Fat Friar
Hufflepuff house's ghost is an amiable fellow known as the Fat Friar. He was executed by senior churchment for curing some peasants of the pox with the poke of a 'stick' and pulling rabbits out of the communion cup. In his afterlife, he seems like quite a jolly old ghost, particularly if you compare him to Moaning Myrtle.

The Passion of Flamenco
Science Goes ViralCosmos Magazine and The Echo - January 17, 2022 1
Cartoon of the week – 12 January, 2022
Letters to the editor The Echo loves your letters and is proud to provide a community forum on the issues that...
ARIA-nominated flamenco guitarist Damian Wright of Bandaluzia brings his flamenco genius to Bangalow this week.
With a performance that pays tribute to the tradition's historical origins and to the most contemporary and his personal interpretations of this incredible artform. He spoke with The Echo about his upcoming show.
What is it that is unique about flamenco guitar? How did that style of playing evolve?
I think the unique aspects of the flamenco guitar are its intricate strumming techniques called rasgueados, which are immediately identifiable as flamenco and give the opportunity for the player to develop rich rhythmic patterns and textures. The other aspect is the role of the guitar, not only as a soloist or accompaniment to the singer but also its unique role in accompanying flamenco dance and the interplay between the two. Flamenco guitar playing evolved a lot through concepts introduced by some of the greats of the artform, especially Ramon Montoya and Paco de Lucia, taking ideas from classical and jazz guitar as well as further developing unique techniques already found in flamenco, including the many uses of the pulgar (thumb technique), which is a direct descendant of the Arabic lute tradition.
Has it changed much with contemporary players?
It's exciting times in modern flamenco guitar playing with phenomenal young guitarists such as Diego del Morao and Dani de Moron coming from a background saturated in tradition but having found exciting and fresh ways of playing flamenco. In their playing you can hear a richness of harmony and rhythmic creativity that is drawing from a wider field of musical influence than previous generations and at the same time is continuing the tradition in an identifiable way.
How much of you can you bring to the flamenco style but still keep the signatures of the tradition?
Flamenco has its specific forms and traditions that are its essential characteristics and have evolved from the experiences and personalities of the flamenco artists of Andalucia.
That being said it has also continued to be a progressive music through all stages of its existence and especially in the last 50 years or so it has extended the palette of colours. I try to connect to who I am as an artist, what motivates and influences me in a larger musical sense, and to incorporate this into my performance while keeping the characteristics of the artform intact. With my ensemble Bandaluzia we have added influences from as far wide as Debussy, Radiohead and contemporary dance etc…
Why is it so passionate? Does a player experience intense feelings when the song they are playing expresses them?
I think as a result of the circumstances of the gypsy people, the general hardship of the people of Andalucia 150–200 years ago, flamenco developed not only as a way pf celebrating festivities within the family or community but of also as a cathartic outlet, by poetically expressing the dire situation of the people. This in turn creates a sentiment that to this day we can all tap into to some point and I think that makes the feeling in the music and dance eternal. Any performance of flamenco requires the artist to transmit this to the audience for its 'magic' to occur, for the audience to connect to that source.
What have been your recent gig highlights?
I loved performing at the Adelaide Guitar Festival last year. Just having a festival dedicated to the celebration of guitar at that level and among some of the world's greatest guitarists was a great experience. Performing my solo show at the Rajasthan International Folk Festival in a 600-year-old fort was unforgettable.
How did studying with Pepe Justica in Spain influence your playing?
Pepe was a great maestro for me in that he really instilled the importance of technique and clarity in my playing, always trying to create melodies and phrasing that have flow and using an emphasis on technique to give ease in expressing musical ideas as opposed to solely a means to speed.
Tell me about the workshop. Who should attend?
In the workshop I'll be presenting the flamenco guitar, its origins, the unique techniques associated with the style, simple musical examples and their connections to the culture of flamenco. There will also be a great emphasis on the rhythm in flamenco through palmas (percussive handclaps). Anyone with an interest in flamenco can attend – no prior flamenco experience necessary as much of the workshop is based on the culture of the artform with musical examples catered to the individual's ability.
What should we expect for your local gig?
I'm really excited to be presenting my solo show in the Byron area. My idea for this solo tour was to present the great variety of musical styles that are found in flamenco and perform these contrasting styles with sharing a touch of the history and personal connections and thoughts on the world of the flamenco guitar that I love so much.
Damian Wright performs at the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Friday at 8pm. Tix are $20 and can be purchased on www.trybooking.com/RXXA or at the door.
Workshop is Saturday 11am–12.30pm with tickets on www.trybooking.com/RXXC RSVP essential.

The ability to perform well during a triathlon is dictated by one's ability to perform optimally in each of its three disciplines: swimming, biking, and running. Previous research has demonstrated that running performance during a triathlon is affected by cycling intensity, cadence, bicycle frame geometry, power output consistency, and drafting. However, very little research, if any, has looked at the relative contributory effect of swimming on overall performance in a triathlon. As such, Peeling & Landers conducted a review of the literature pertaining to Swimming intensity during triathlon that was recently published in the Journal of Sports Sciences.
The best overall race performers were faster in the first few hundred meters (~ 200 to 500m) of the swim and slower swimmers generally expend more energy during the bike leg in order to "catch up" to those who exited first. These have correlated to overall performance and demonstrate the importance of being in the first pack of cyclists.
Swim intensities of 80-85% and 90-95% have enabled athletes to cycle at greater power outputs than 100% swim intensities during sprint-distance triathlon. However, those who swim at 80-85% intensity also run 1% quicker than those who swim at 100% intensity. Therefore, in consideration of the point noted above, an athlete's swimming ability must enable them to swim with the front pack while simultaneously staying within 80-90% of maximum effort.
Drafting during the swim (in order to minimize frontal resistance) certainly contributes to minimizing one's intensity at a given speed as it has been shown to lower athletes' heart rates and blood lactate concentrations. Further, with respect to the cycling leg, drafting during the swim has been shown to correlate with higher cycling efficiency as well as mean and peak power output. Thus, in order to minimize the physiological demands of swimming, one must swim 0-50 cm behind the toes or 500-100 cm lateral and behind the hands of the athlete he or she is drafting off of. This in turn, may allow one to maintain ideal positioning within the front pack with minimal effort.
Wetsuits are intended to increase buoyancy and therefore decrease both hydrodynamic and passive resistance during the swim. These have been shown to improve swim time with relatively less energy cost (stroke rate, oxygen consumption and blood lactate accumulation), therefore saving energy that may be utilized in later portions of the race. It should be noted that wetsuits have also been found to increase body and skin temperature and therefore, may induce heat stress in an athlete.
Speedsuits, on the other hand, decrease frictional resistance between the athlete's skin and the water and do so with minimal effect on body temperature. These have been shown to improve swim time without affecting stroke rate, stroke length, and blood lactate accumulation. Therefore, speedsuits should be utilized at temperatures greater than 25 degrees (Celcius) or when wetsuits are not permitted.
It was no secret that the various strategies mentioned above are utilized during the swim leg of a triathlon in order to increase the likelihood of a optimal results. However, Peeling & Landers were perhaps the first to document all variables through this review in its entirety. It should be noted, however, that the majority of research has solely focused on the Sprint and Olympic distances and therefore, the recommendations pertaining to long course races (70.3 and Ironman) may differ.

Singles Club: Taking Back Sunday – "Tidal Wave"
4 years ago •Drew Beringer
To say that Taking Back Sunday is a polarizing band is an understatement. For nearly 15 years now the Long Island-based band have gone through it all – inter-band drama, outer-band drama, more member changes than they'd like to admit, and the transition from emo darlings to bonafide rock stars. And while not every fan has always enjoyed every change the band has gone through musically and professionally, Taking Back Sunday has always stuck to their vision. And the same can be said about the band's latest song, "Tidal Wave," the first single from the band's upcoming seventh LP of the same name.

They've asked me to play drums on their album, on their new album. So [Hayley] put it on their Instagram and put it on their website, and it's no joke that I'm back just playing drums for them on their album alongside with doing my HalfNoise stuff. That's it, and that's literally all it is right now. No one's really asked cause I've kind of deterred the question, but I'm doing HalfNoise – that's my band. They've asked me to drum, and it was like, 'Yeah, of course!' We've always been friends, and yeah, there was a little bit of weirdness cause I left the band for a few years, but all that stuff is not even there anymore and there's no hard feelings and it's just been rad and fun.

Thank You to Blink-182; 'California' in Stores Now
My thanks to Blink-182 for sponsoring Chorus this week. They released their new album, California, yesterday and I've gotta say: I'm impressed. I've been toying around with a write-up about the album that I may post in the foreseeable future, but the fact is that I think this is the best Blink's sounded in years. Great, fun, summer pop-punk music.
You can find the album now on all streaming platforms, iTunes, and in stores. The album is making a run for the #1 spot next week so if you're into it — definitely give it a spin (or ten). Thanks again to Blink for sponsoring the website this week. Hilarious to think that I once built a Blink-182 fan-page, and here we are, 20-something years later, and they're sponsoring the site. It's awesome.
Searching for a Good Reason to Remove the Headphone Jack
Jason Snell, writing at Six Colors:
I have a point of view on all this, but I'm trying very hard not to get mad about something that hasn't happened. This is a tech unicorn, an unannounced feature on a nonexistent product, and it's important to keep that in mind. Still, it's not a bad intellectual exercise to ponder why Apple might make such a move, and what the ramifications might be.
The speculative conclusion at the end about the rumored "AirPods" sounds right to me. What I really hope for is that any wireless headphones that Apple ship don't use Bluetooth, but instead use a new, maybe proprietary, technology along with Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a massive pain in the ass to use with multiple devices and flaky as hell.
One thing I have seen when I've talked about this with some non-techy friends: they either don't care at all and just use whatever headphones come with their phone or they really care and find this to be an absolute abomination. I don't see much middle ground. We discussed this whole thing in more detail on this week's episode of Encore because it really does fascinate me to no end. The tradeoffs seem almost unbearably negative, but yet it seems so inevitable at the same time.

Q: How to pass variables in Route which has dynamic URL in ReactJS? I have been trying to solve in passing a variable value from a main component (App.js) to a child component Attendees.js. The route is as follows
App.js
<Router>
     ...
     <Route path="/attendees/:userID/:meetingID" component={Attendees}
      adminUser={this.state.userId}/>} />
</Router>

Attendees.js
componentDidMount(){
    const meetingID = this.props.match.params.meetingID
    const adminUser = this.props.adminUser
}

I am not able to retrieve the adminUser which passed as props.(adminUser is getting undefined). But I am able to do variables (meetingID, userID) encoded in URL.
How can I get the value adminUser in child component.

A: You can render an anonymous component and slip the adminUser prop in. Don't forget to proxy the route props along as well.

Title: The Heating of Tyres: Methods Old and New

The Heating of Tyres — Methods Old and New
The Heating of Tyres
Methods Old and New
(By A. P. Godber , Hutt Valley Workshops.)
The reorganisation of the New Zealand Railway Workshops has resulted in many marked improvements, not the least of which is the method of renewing tyres, both for locomotives and other rolling stock.
Under the old method, tyres, after they had been bored to suit the wheel centres, were taken outside, and stacked, ten or more high, in a position adjacent to a hand crane. Usually they were rolled out of the shop by man power. If a suitable line was available they would be loaded on a trolly, and pushed out to the crane. Much time was occupied gathering pieces of wood with which to heat the tyres. The wood was piled in the centre of the stack of tyres, and ignited. Then ensued a wait of several hours, until the tyres were hot enough to slip over the wheel centres, which had been placed in a vertical position, with the aid of the hand-crane.
For the benefit of the uninitiated, it should be explained that the tyres are always bored so many thousands of an inch less than the wheel centres, the allowance, in each case, being determined by the diameter of the centres. When heated, the tyres expand sufficiently to drop over the wheel centres. In cooling, the tyres contract, and grip the wheel centres very firmly. Suitable grabs, connected with short chains were used to lift the hot tyres from the stack.
An improvement was effected when the hand operated crane was altered by the addition of an air cylinder, and operated pneumatically. This system, with slight modifications has been in use for years. After the heated tyres had been applied to all the top wheel centres, it was necessary to wait until the tyres, by cooling, had gripped the centres tightly enough to remain in position while the wheels and axle were reversed. The remaining tyres in the stack were now applied to the wheel centres.
Electric Heating Process.
With the advent of the reorganisation scheme, the procedure of applying new tyres has been improved still further. The tyres are still bored out on the tyre boring mills, but an electric overhead crane in the machine shop picks up the tyre immediately it is bored and whisks it into position on the new electric heaters. These, three in number, take power at 230 volts, single phase. Heating of the tyres is effected by electror-magnetic induction, producing a large flow of current through the tyre, thereby causing a high temperature. By simple changes in the terminals, a temperature to suit different sized tyres is obtained. The tyre rests on suitable supports over the central core of the heater, but without touching any portion of the machine.
Old Method of Tyre Heating.
(Photo, A. P. Godber.)
The tyres were heated by means of wood fires out in the open, and then, placed in position on the wheel centres.
Next, the regulator arm is brought forward, and downward, by means of a hand-wheel and screw, until its under side makes contact with the top of the central core. The core, and regulator arm, are composed of a series of flat laminated strips of soft iron. These strips constitute the medium for the transference of the current through the machine. It is this flow of current through the heaters, setting up electro-magnetic induction, which causes the tyre to heat up.
With the tyre in position, all the operator has to do is to switch on the current. Whilst one tyre is heating up, which occupies from ten to twenty minutes, according to the size of the tyre, others are similarly positioned on the rest of the heaters, and wheel centres placed in readiness.
Small pellets of a special fusible metal are laid upon the tyres. "When these melt, it indicates to the operator that the desired temperature has been reached.
By this time the first tyre is ready for removal. The regulator arm is raised out of the way, and the hot tyre removed to special supports. The wheel centre is next lifted by the electric overhead crane, and dropped

gently into the tyre. Number two tyre is similarly dealt with and placed on top of the wheel centre. This method obviates unnecessary delay, and wheels do not require reversing to place the second tyre on.
When tyres are sufficiently cooled, the wheels are smartly removed to the powerful, up-to-date, high speed, wheel lathes, for turning.
A succession of heated tyres is thus assured. The conditions of the operator are greatly improved, as he is independent of the state of the weather, has the advantage of an efficient electric crane service, and is not inconvenienced by the smoke, sparks, and dust nuisance, as obtained in the past.
Many accidents are caused by the care-lessness or indifference on the part of those who make use of cranes, chains, slings, lifts, etc. Always see that the, apparatus used is suitable for the work you want it to do. Remember that no machine, chain or rope, is stronger than its weakest part.—Sir Gerald Bellhouse, C.B.E. (H.M. Chief Inspector of Factories).


Example: What is the velocity of 10 gpm going through a 1/2" diameter schedule 40 pipe?
Note:The outside diameter of pipe remains the same regardless of the thickness of the pipe. A heavy duty pipe has a thicker wall than a standard duty pipe, so the internal diameter of the heavy duty pipe is smaller than the internal diameter of a standard duty pipe. The wall thickness and internal diameter of pipes can be found on readily available charts.
Hydraulic steel tubing also maintains the same outside diameter regardless of wall thickness.
Hose sizes indicate the inside diameter of the plumbing. A 1/2" diameter hose has an internal diameter of 0.50 inches, regardless of the hose pressure rating.


I had the privilege of penning an open letter to Mia Love for Clutch magazine last night.* Councilwoman Love is a Haitian-American Republican who is running for Utah's fourth congressional House seat. If elected in November, she will be the first Haitian-American woman elected to the House of Representatives in Utah.
The letter has been receiving positive and thoughtful reviews on Clutch and I appreciate all of the feedback. But I thought that I should use this space to provide some context to that letter. Even biblical lessons should be analyzed based on what was happening in the world during that time, so I resolutely believe that all controversial opinion pieces deserve that same thoughtfulness. Plus, I don't want black women readers, who I am dedicated to uplifting, to think that I am attacking Love without provocation.
Let me begin with this: I admire all black women who choose to pursue careers in politics. I've watched enough episodes of Political Animals (which I LOVE and will be blogging about soon) and Scandal to know that life on Capitol Hill is a grim one. Politicians lead rough lives. So, I regard these women in high esteem. From Shirley Chisholm to Condoleeza Rice, I respect these ladies for remaining unbought and unbossed in the male-dominated political world. All of them are firm in their beliefs and are willing to stand in the line of public fire without fear or hesitation. That is venerable. I commend Mia Love for that.
That is causing me to question her integrity and motives. I'm concerned at her unwillingness to use her platform to question the political agendas that are being used to dismantle HER rights as well as those of thousands of fellow Americans. I can understand Mitt "Slickback" Romney and Paul "Shifty Eyes" Ryan not understanding how their comments instigate racism and discomfort. They are privileged white men without wombs. But how can Mia Love, a black woman, not speak to the injustices occurring in the GOP?
I don't know what happens behind councilwoman Love's closed doors. She very well may be addressing these issues with other politicians while sipping tea and eating crumpets. But I would have much more respect for her agenda if she addressed her discomfort with these policies on a national stage e.g. the one she was just granted.
I'm off the soapbox. But please read the full open letter on Clutch's website.
* I'm an avid reader of Clutch, so this was an amazing chance for me to contribute to a publication that I admire and respect.
** You can't use religion as a justification and then promise constituents that it is all based on the Constitution. The founding fathers required a separation of church of state to guarantee a sovereign nation free of religious persecution.
** Great news, I scored a major gig this afternoon as the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week contributor for LoveBrownSugar, a blog that I have followed and admired for quite some time. I included LoveBrownSugar's founder, Christina, in my list of curvy inspirations a while ago. Being able to work beside her and in this capacity is astounding to me. It is proof that what is spoken into the universe is possible if it is backed with lots of hard work, sacrifice and dedication. She has entrusted me to provide coverage of the ins and outs of NYFW and I am determined to do that for her readers. I will also be offering feedback on the experience here, so prepare for a shift from the media analysis to a fashion frenzy next week!

Goodnight Moon Board Book & Bunny (Board book)
By Margaret Wise Brown, Clement Hurd (Illustrator)
Millions of children have been lulled to sleep by this classic bedtime tale. Now paired with a cuddly plush bunny, it is the perfect way to say "goodnight."
In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room—to the picture of the three little bears sitting on chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one—the little bunny says goodnight.
In this classic of children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.
Margaret Wise Brown, cherished for her unique ability to convey a child's experience and perspective of the world, transformed the landscape of children's literature with such beloved classics as Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Other perennial favorites by Ms. Brown include My World; Christmas in the Barn; The Dead Bird; North, South, East, West; and Good Day, Good Night.
Clement Hurd (1908–1988) is best known for illustrating Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, the classic picture books by Margaret Wise Brown. He studied painting in Paris with Fernand Léger and others in the early 1930s. After his return to the United States in 1935, he began to work in children's books. He illustrated more than one hundred books, many of them with his wife, Edith Thacher Hurd, including the Johnny Lion books, The Day the Sun Danced, and The Merry Chase. A native of New York City, he lived most of his life in Vermont and California.
Clement Hurd (1908–1988) se graduó de Yale University. Estudió pintura en París en los años 1930 con Fernand Léger, entre otros. Allí fue donde desarrolló su estilo característico, compuesto de colores de fuerte contraste. Hurd estuvo casado con la escritora Edith Thacher Hurd, con quien también creó muchos libros que se convirtieron en favoritos de los niños.

Lisa Wilkinson shares moment Karl Stefanovic told her about 'new love' Jasmine
Kristine Tarbert
·Features and Health Editor
5 November 2021, 7:10 pm ·3-min read
Lisa Wilkinson has shared the moment her former Today show co-host Karl Stefanovic told her he was 'madly in love' with his wife Jasmine Yarbrough.
In her new memoir It Wasn't Meant To Be Like This, the Sunday Project host recalls the moment Karl privately told her he had 'met someone' - just months after he made headlines for his split with wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn.

In an excerpt from the autobiography, the 61-year-old said she found him looking "as happy and relaxed as I'd ever seen him", before he told her: "I've met someone", the Daily Mail reports.
She goes on to say Karl showed her a photo of the at that time LA-based model and designer, who is nine years younger than him, adding: "Well, that certainly took a turn. And explained a lot. That smile he had on his face got even bigger."

Karl and Jasmine first met just five months after he and Cassandra - who share Jackson, 20, Ava, 15, and River, 13, together - had separated in 2016. They divorced a year later in 2017.
Lisa went on to detail in her book how Karl's relationship with a younger woman impacted his career.

She cited an interview with entertainment reporter with Peter Ford on The Kyle and Jackie O show, during which he said: "His personal ratings - and Nine has done research to confirm this - are right down the toilet. Women are angry at him."
At the time, host Jackie 'O' Henderson echoed those thoughts, adding: "They think he's just left her for some young 20-year-old and he's cavorting around, kissing her, cuddling her, for everyone to see."
Lisa confirmed the research Ford referenced saw the entire Today team at the time given a presentation about Karl's declining ratings in light of his new relationship.
"Each of us was given a full dossier detailing it all, and Jackie was right. It made for very uncomfortable reading," Lisa wrote.
These latest revelations come after Karl Stefanovic was left squirming on the Today show during the week, when Defence Minister Peter Dutton appeared to take a thinly veiled swipe at Lisa Wilkinson during an interview.
"If I'm being truthful, I think it's sad – you see examples in politics, even in media, where some people lose their jobs, they go away and they're bitter, they're disaffected – some of them, like Malcolm, even write books … and they're more fiction than fact," Peter Dutton said.
Karl could be heard awkwardly giggling in the background before the camera panned to the clearly shocked host, who was speechless for a few seconds.
In a separate extract from her book, Lisa did say it was "disgusting to witness" how Karl, 47, was treated by the paparazzi after finalising his split from wife Cassandra.
