Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy
A bachelor's degree in philosophy is useful for all students due to its emphasis on clear and cogent thought, examination of the interrelations of fact and value, and training in logic and the methodology of inquiry.
What can I do with a degree in philosophy?
Philosophy is one of the most versatile majors a student can choose. Because philosophy teaches students how to think, problem-solve, write, and communicate effectively, it provides skills that are useful in any field, including law, business, medicine, and technology.
Philosophy majors have the highest average score of any major on the LSAT's, the verbal section of GRE's, and the analytical writing section of GRE's. They have the highest acceptance rate of any major to medical school – at almost 50%.
The study of philosophy develops a student's ability to think clearly and systematically, to read news and information critically, to distinguish between good and bad arguments, to solve problems in original ways, and to seek the truth through the use of reason rather than emotion.
Writing and communication
Philosophy courses emphasize the importance of clarity in both oral and written communication, and they provide students with the resources to learn how to express their ideas in the most compelling and effective ways possible, logically, and persuasively. Philosophy majors score the highest of any major on the Analytical Writing Section of the GREs (Graduate School Admissions Test).
In addition, a philosophy degree offers:
Intellectual skills (critical thinking: analysis, synthesis, problem-solving)
Organizational skills (time management, initiative, self-motivation, working independently)
Interpersonal skills (teamwork, leadership, flexibility/adaptability)
Research skills (identifying, absorbing, and sifting complex information)
Employability and earning
According to Forbes' Selling Your Philosophy Degree, if you are majoring in philosophy, "the consensus among the people with their fingers on the pulse of the job market, and those who live the success stories, is that your future is bright." According to reports by the Wall Street Journal and Payscale.com, philosophy majors have the highest mid-career median salary of any humanities major and a higher mid-career median salary than business majors.
Philosophy provides transferrable skills that spell success in any career, and as a result, philosophy majors find work in a diverse range of fields. For example, in 2006, 12% of philosophy majors were employed in business and finance, and another 7% were employed in marketing and advertising (The Guardian: I Think, Therefore I Learn).
The value of a philosophy degree is becoming increasingly widely recognized, and a number of recent articles have explored the demand for, and success of, philosophy majors throughout the job market.

Philadelphia Inquirer, "Study of Philosophy Makes Gains Despite Economy"
Business Insider, "Successful Philosophy Majors"
Among many other advanced graduate programs, a philosophy degree also provides a solid foundation for graduate study in:
Philosophy and law
Philosophy majors score the second-highest of any major on the LSATs. The study of philosophy provides the ideal preparation for law school and the practice of law. The skills needed by law students and attorneys – careful analysis of texts, the ability to speak and write persuasively and effectively, sensitivity to vagueness and ambiguity, extraction of principles from cases, argument (often for propositions that one does not personally accept), criticism of arguments made by others, and the articulation of difficult concepts – are precisely those that are inculcated and refined in the study of philosophy.
The Philosophy department at Wayne State offers critical reasoning courses that are especially pertinent to law school preparation, such as critical thinking and introductory symbolic logic. We also offer a variety of courses relevant to legal theory, issues, and practice, including Foundations of Law, Philosophy of Law, Professional Ethics, and Contemporary Moral Issues.
Philosophy and medicine
Philosophy majors have the highest rate of acceptance to medical school of any major. The 50% acceptance rate of students who major in philosophy is notably higher even than that of biology majors (35%), chemistry majors (39%), or physics majors (42%).
The Wayne State Philosophy Philosophy department offers a number of courses that intersect with topics and concerns in medicine and science, including ethical issues in health care, contemporary moral issues, introduction to philosophy of science, space, time and the philosophy of physics, and philosophy of science.
For more information, view a listing of our course descriptions.
Philosophy and business
Philosophy majors score the fourth highest of any major on the GMATs, which is higher than majors in business, economics, finance, marketing, or management.

Pope John Paul II (Catholic saint)
Stephen Breyer and David Souter (U.S. Supreme Court justices)

The year 2012 is upon us and making sense of its associated prophecies, theories, counter theories, conspiracies in addition to the absence of proper consideration within the mainstream Media, is becoming increasingly challenging for the average man in the street.
At Hypo Global we took it upon ourselves to make a study of the related facts, theories and tangible evidence with the aim to present it in a simple easy to understand way. The editor and supporting writers would also like to create a source for their families and friends in order to generate awareness.
Whatever you see written within the posts of Hypo Global or anywhere else on the 2012 subject, as a naturally born free individual you should draw your own conclusions and resist any form or conditioning you may be subjected to.
We advise you to view the information from a higher objective place and to let your heart and spirit make the final conclusion along with a dose of inner common sense.
Whatever happens we will close on one important concept. Ultimately, whatever happens you will be faced with a simple choice "Fear" or "Love".
Try to observe how fear is expressed through thoughts, feelings, security, insurance, threats, voice tone, actions and Media. It surrounds and conditions us from the cradle to the grave. Try to step back or rise above and recognize when fear manifests itself.
Look inside yourself and choose love!

Glitch Games' "A Short Tale" Scheduled to Release Later This Month
Adventure / Forever Lost / iPad Game / iPhone game / News / point-and-click / Preview / Puzzle / Room Escape
A Short Tale
By: Glitch Games
**Update: The game now has a release date of February 11th! I finished the game a little while back and I think room escape fans will really enjoy it. There are some devious puzzles! And don't worry — I'll remind you when the game is officially out. 🙂 **
I somehow missed the news that Glitch Games have been working on — and nearly finishing — a new game. They sprung a beta version on me over the holidays without any warning. It's a room escape game like we've seen them do with Cabin Escape: Alice's Story, only there's a lot more items and puzzles packed into a small space. I'm still playing through it, and there are some bugs that need to be ironed out, but if everything goes well, expect to see it later this month!
The game is called A Short Tale, and it has you taking on the role of Jason as he visits the room of his younger brother, Ben, years after he disappeared. After wishing to be small again, something strange happens, causing him to shrink down to a size where everything around him seems huge. This gives you a unique vantage point that has you climbing inside drawers and on top of desks, talking to toy aliens and magic 8 balls, and, of course, finding clues to solve tons of puzzles.
There are references to Forever Lost in the game, but it hasn't been made clear yet if this is the same Jason that we've come to know so well. Glitch Games won't reveal any information about that, so I guess we'll all just have to play through it to find out what the connection is! There also seems to be a story — perhaps even a mystery — to unravel, but I haven't gotten far enough to know for sure.
I don't want to give too much away, but I'm really enjoying it so far. There are some clever puzzles, lots of "aha!" moments, pop culture references, and even some of that self-deprecating Glitch humor we all love. For now, enjoy these mostly spoiler-free screenshots below and watch this space for more news.
Disclaimer: What I've been playing is a beta version of the game, so all images and information are subject to change.
Note to beta testers: I know you're used to coming to me for walkthrough help, and I'm honored. 🙂 For obvious reasons, I don't want to post any hints here. If you email me ([email protected]), I'd be happy to help if I can. But for the beta, please report back to Glitch Games when you get stuck, as the feedback will help them determine if any puzzles need tweaking. I don't want to skew their beta testing results by giving everyone help without their knowledge. Thanks. 🙂

Camurus concludes Phase II trial of CAM2029 to treat NETs
13th July 2016	(Last Updated July 13th, 2016 18:30)
Swedish-based pharmaceutical company Camurus has concluded the Phase II study of CAM2029 to treat acromegaly or neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).
Developed in collaboration with Novartis, CAM2029 is an octreotide subcutaneous product featuring FluidCrystal formulation that can be self applied by patients as a ready-to-use injection in a pre-filled syringe supported with a needle stick safety device.
It is intended to be used as an alternative to the existing, long-acting somatostatin analogue formulations.
The phase II trial is an open-label, multicentre, randomised study that involved 12 adult patients.
"The company is currently preparing for a Phase III clinical trial of CAM2029 in association with Novartis and is expected to start next year."
It was designed to evaluate the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics profile, as well as the safety and efficacy of two dosing regimens of CAM2029.
Results have displayed therapeutic blood-levels of octreotide over four weeks.
The trial has also demonstrated a consistent safety and local tolerability of CAM2029 across the study.
Camurus president and CEO Fredrik Tiberg said: "The positive pharmacokinetic profile and promising disease control data seen in this Phase II study when switching patients from Sandostatin LAR to CAM2029, together with the option for self-administration by patients, underscores the potential for CAM2029 to fill an unmet medical need."
The company is currently preparing for a Phase III clinical trial of CAM2029 in association with Novartis and is expected to start next year.

Q: JAVA - Possible SQL Injection So I have this snippet of code:
String username = props.getProperty("jdbc.username");
try {
                String username = parts[1];

                // Check procedure
                System.out.println("Checking user");

                // Check database user table for username
                conn = getSQLConnection();
                Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
                ResultSet user = stat.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM USER WHERE log_id='" + username + "';" );
                // Check given password against user entry
                if(user.next()){
                    System.out.println("User Exists: " + username);
                    sendMessage("true");
                    return;
                }
                else{

                    System.out.println("User Does Not Exist: " + username);
                    sendMessage("false user");
                    return;
                }

For educational purposes, is the SQL statement protected from an SQL injection even though I know where the input is coming from?

A: ResultSet user = stat.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM USER WHERE log_id='" + username + "';" );

This is subject to SQL injection.
Imagine what happens if username has this value:
John'; delete from user where 'a' = 'a

And yes, a s*load of Java JDBC SQL tutorials get this wrong. Basically, always use PreparedStatements.
Not only because this makes it safe ot use even if username has malicious values as the above, but also, and more importantly, because the same query can be reused by the RDBMS engine for all further invocations.
In short, there is no reason at all not to use them. And tutorials demonstrating SQL using string concatenation should die a painful, SQL injection death.

A: As explained in this post, one rogue attacker can do the following to yoour application:

*

*call a sleep function so that all your database connections will be busy, therefore making your application unavailable

*extracting sensitive data from the DB

*bypassing the user authentication
And it's not just SQL that can be affected. Even JPQL can be compromised if you are not using bind parameters.
Bottom line, you should never use string concatenation when building SQL statements. Use a dedicated API for that purpose:

*

*JPA Criteria API

*jOOQ

Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall's heartfelt postgame speech
Scott Gleeson, USA TODAY Sports
The losing coach in tonight's NCAA national championship game will have big shoes to fill when it comes to end-of-the-season speeches.
Wichita State came up just short in the Final Four against Louisville, falling 72-68 after an "iffy" last-second jump ball call put the game out of reach. The Shockers let a 12-point lead slip away and barely missed out on staging a colossal upset.
WSU coach Gregg Marshall saluted the die-hard Shocker fans by taking out a classy ad in the newspaper.
The coach's teary-eyed postgame speech to his players after the Louisville loss was just as classy and heartfelt.
Some tid bits:
"Rick Pitino told me we were the toughest team he's played."
"For you seniors, all of you are going to be very, very successful. Whatever your dreams are, you're going to achieve them. ...You're going to always have this (memory) to draw from."
"This isn't the end because you've done something that every player at this university strives to beat."
"I want you to be proud that you wear this uniform. ...We're going to celebrate. We're not hanging our head."

Recovered Kinder sparks Royals past Mary Louis
By Joseph Staszewski Posted on February 8, 2016
By Joseph Staszewski
For the first two months of the season, all an injured Kaela Kinder could do was watch when things got tight and tough for her Christ the King team.
The Virginia Tech-bound wing made up for lost time, with first place hanging in the balance, in a back-and-forth game against Mary Louis, her fourth since returning to the lineup. Kinder scored 14 of her 16 points in the second half and pulled down 11 rebounds to lead the Royals to a 58-51 victory in CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens girls' basketball in Middle Village last Friday. She had 10 points in the fourth.
"It's just showing me that I'm still a part of the team," Kinder said. "I was gone for so long, but I am still part of everything that is going on. It feels good."
Kinder's layup off a feed from Virginia-bound guard Dominique Toussaint put CK (11-5, 6-0) up for good at 51-48. Her efforts on the glass and 10 boards from freshman Kaelynn Satterfield made a difference. They allowed CK to limit TMLA's second chances and get out in transition to close the game on a 12-3 run.
Kinder broke her ankle in tryouts and spent six weeks in a boot and two more of rehab before she even began practicing. Her performance against Mary Louis (12-4, 3-2) was a leap forward.
"She still struggles a bit," CK coach Bob Mackey said. "It's hard for her to get through a full practice at 100 percent, but tonight showed there was definitely marked improvement."
The Royals leaned heavily on its battle-tested seniors down the stretch. Toussaint stole a pass in the backcourt with CK up 53-51 and 35 seconds left in the game. Sydney Zambrotta (10 points), who is headed to Louisville, battled foul trouble all game, but made three of four free throws in the final 28 seconds. Ashlie Howell chipped in 10 points.
"We kind of just gutted out the win," said Toussaint, who scored 14 points, including the 1,000th of her career. "It's just hard work and we have been through it, so we know how hard we have to work to get that win."
Mary Louis, on the other hand, scored just three points over the final 5:00 of the game. It missed chances to put Christ the King on its heels early. TMLA, which went 8-for-20 at the free throw line, had a 10-0 run late in the first quarter, but led just 16-11 after a Toussaint three at the horn.
The Hilltoppers answered a CK spurt with a 9-0 run in the third quarter, but needed Brunson to bank a long jumper to grab a 41-40 advantage going into the fourth. They then watched CK score the first four points of the final frame.
"Just learning that we have got to play every possession is going to help us," said Mary Louis coach JoAnn Arbitello-Pinnock said. "The game wasn't lost at the end of game. The game is lost in the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter."
Minnesota-bound guard Jasmine Brunson paced the Hilltoppers with 24 points, but star junior Danielle Patterson had nine of her 12 points in the first half. Courtney McCool chipped in eight. CK rotated three defenders on Patterson and blanketed her when she drove to the hoop. Arbitello said Patterson, a Medgar Evers transfer, is still adjusting to playing in a new league and isn't worried about her off night.
"This is just something she learns from," she said.
What the Christ the King players wanted everyone to learn is that the defending CHSAA state champions are still the class of league, despite strong challenges from TMLA and Bishop Loughlin.
"Everyone is talking, '[The Hilltoppers] are better than you. They have the best girl in the city,'" Kinder said. "We just wanted to come out and have a great team win and beat them."

| Hong Kong activist Nathan Law GRD '20 receives social media threats

Hong Kong activist Nathan Law GRD '20 receives social media threats
Serena Cho & Asha Prihar	2:00 am, Aug 30, 2019
As anti-Beijing protests in Hong Kong intensify, Nathan Law GRD '20 — a controversial Hong Kong activist who arrived at Yale this fall to pursue a masters degree in East Asian Studies — has become the target of online harassment and threats in the past few weeks.
Prior to his arrival at Yale, Law helped lead Hong Kong's 2014 pro-democracy Umbrella Movement — the precursor to protests that thrust the region into turmoil this summer. He served as the youngest lawmaker in Hong Kong history in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and founded Demosistō, a political party that fought for Hong Kong's self-determination. In 2017, he and other student activists were jailed for unlawful assembly and incitement to take part in assembly. Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong, who co-founded Demosistō with Law, was re-arrested in Hong Kong on Friday along with other prominent pro-democracy leaders.
According to Law, he has received numerous threats from individuals claiming to be Yale students on social media. He posted screenshots of messages containing explicit language and death threats on his Twitter on Aug. 20. One message threatened to "cut [Law] into pieces," while another read, "wait you at school and have no escape. [sic.] American gun shooting is going to start." It remains unclear if any actual Yale students participated in his harassment.
"These internet spam messages contain threatening messages," Law said. "Since I have talked with the school and the police department, they put my safety as their first priority."
Jing Tsu, chair of the Council on East Asian Studies, confirmed in an email to the News that the University has assisted in providing security for Law.
Earlier in August, a notice that called on Chinese students to harass Law circulated on social media, allegedly created by the Association of Chinese Students and Scholars at Yale. Later, the association disavowed the notice and encouraged "all Yale students and scholars to rationally express their aspirations, to not create or spread unfounded rumours."
"There are many pitiful Hong Kong people who are not in touch with the truth, they are the real frogs at the bottom of the well," the original notice — which was later found to be bogus — said. "Be friends with him, greet him, go play with him and have dinner with him — use friendly attitudes to transform him. Please forward this to all other social media and public forums in New Haven."
Beyond the threats to his safety, Law said he is concerned about the "atmosphere of hatred circulating in the Chinese community" that is displayed in the messages.
Assistant professor of history Denise Ho said that the threats Law has been receiving are not a broader reflection of the Yale community.
"In my experience, students at Yale [are] open-minded and I would not be worried about threats from them," Ho said. "My primary concern would be from someone posing to be a Yale student."
Nathan Law graduated from Lingnan University in Hong Kong majoring in Cultural Studies.

You forgot to mention he was convicted of organizing illegal protest and racketeering. Nathan Law was also one of the organizers of latest illegal protest and violent rioting in Hong Kong.
The fact he left Hong Kong and left others to deal with the mess had generated the "I go to Yale, you go to jail" meme. Did you forget to mention before Nathan Law left HK, he met with CIA operatives?

Would you care to specify the basis of that conviction?
A simple google would easily reveal Nathan Law's status as a convicted felon: https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-crime/article/2059556/occupy-leaders-nathan-law-and-joshua-wong-appeal-against
ckt
You trust those communists? HK CEO's family and other government officials have UK passports.
What does that have to do with Nathan Law's status as a convicted felon, or Yale admitting a convicted felon?
You'll have to ask the HK judge who convicted him. A simple Google would easily reveal Nathan Law's status as a convicted felon.
Why so many chinese leaders' families live overseas?


Wishing us all a happy Passover.
We, the LSW and I, will be hosting a Seder this year but it's being prepared by the rest of the family. I'll be connected to my oxygen machine and the LSW will, hopefully, have some respite from her crippling lower back pain. We will be thinking of all of you and wishing you all a happy Passover.
With the election over we now get to see traditional Israeli coalition horse trading in which the minority parties get to beat up and blackmail the big parties.
I'm getting tired of being sick!! Enough already!

These companies let you pay for your vacation in installments. Should you?
by Myles Ma June 18th, 2018
Facebook Twitter Email LinkedIn SMS WhatsApp
Updated April 4, 2019: Sydney Richardson wanted to attend a concert in South Korea this past November. But the college student from Illinois couldn't afford to pay the nearly $800 airfare up front. However, she found Airfordable, a service that allows people to pay for flights in installments, which made the trip affordable.
"I was on a biweekly plan and I paid for my trip every time I got a paycheck," Richardson said. "It was really convenient."
Richardson's trip ended up costing $968. The 19-year-old paid Airfordable a $168 convenience fee and an up-front payment of $300. Airfordable deducted $108 from her bank account every other week.
Airfordable requires borrowers to pay them back before issuing a plane ticket, which Richardson did early.
Airfordable is one of a number of services allowing travelers to finance their trips. The company did not respond to a request for comment. Richardson said she would use the service again, but is it a good idea to pay for travel in installments? (Policygenius can help you compare prices for travel insurance.)
What do these services do?
Affirm was founded in 2012 and has offered financing for travel since partnering with Expedia in 2016. There is a growing demand for ways to pay for travel other than using credit cards, said Elizabeth Allin, a spokeswoman for Affirm.
Aside from Expedia and its brands, which include Orbitz and Travelocity, Affirm also partners with travel websites CheapAir, Suiteness, Groupon Getaways, Rose Tours, Student City and JusCollege. The Affirm app allows buyers to make purchases using Affirm anywhere on the internet, including from airlines and travel agencies.
Why not just save up before traveling? By the time travelers are able to do that, airfares may have increased, as they tend to do as the departure date approaches, said Tom Botts, chief commercial officer for UpLift, another company offering installment payments to travelers. Booking ahead of time with the help of a loan can lock in lower prices for airfares or vacation packages, he says.
UpLift has been making loans for more than a year. It's made up of people experienced in online lending and travel experts like Botts, who has worked in the industry for 30 years.
"We really felt we could create something that would be very easy for the travel industry to participate in while also making it an attractive offer for consumers," Botts said.
To use UpLift, users book like they normally do with a travel merchant like JetBlue Vacations, an UpLift partner. When it comes time to pay, there will be a link to apply for credit through UpLift by entering the last four digits of your Social Security number. UpLift will perform a "soft pull" of your credit, which doesn't affect your score, to complete the application.
UpLift offers loan terms of three, six or 11 months, depending on the amount, Botts said. There are no fees for paying early. Unlike Airfordable, UpLift allows borrowers to travel before fully paying back the loan.
Aside from JetBlue, UpLift loans are available through partners including United, American Airlines and Lufthansa. UpLift continues to add more partners, Botts said.
Affirm loans are also available while booking with one of its partners. Through the app, users can also receive a one-time virtual debit card number to use at checkout on the websites of merchants who haven't partnered with Affirm.
Should you finance your trip?
If buying a ticket in advance lowers your fare more than the fees you pay, then it could be a net savings, said David "Trey" Bize, a certified financial planner. But that savings could be lost to late fees or having to pay off the loan with a high-interest credit card.
"If people want to financially get ahead in life, they cannot borrow money for their vacations," Bize said.
People get into trouble when they spend money they don't have. It takes discipline to pay it back and it can be easy to fall into a cycle of going into debt, paying it off and borrowing again, Bize said. It's less risky and less costly to save up to pay for a vacation, then replenish your savings before your next vacation, he said. (Can't afford a vacation? Consider a staycation.)
What are the fees?
Trip finance companies argue their fees are generally cheaper than interest rates for credit cards.
Affirm charges annual percentage rates ranging up to 30%. It doesn't charge late fees or origination fees, Allin said.
"We show a buyer exactly how much interest they will pay in a dollar amount, rather than a percentage that must be calculated, up front," Allin said.
UpLift loans start at 8.99% for highly qualified borrowers and loan amounts up to $15,000. As a comparison, average credit card interest rates reached 13.63% in February, according to the Federal Reserve.
For a $1,500 trip paid over 12 installments, UpLift estimates borrowers pay an extra $10 a month, said Botts.
"That's far cheaper than waiting until the last minute when airlines and hotels and vacation packages are all raising their prices," Botts said.
Richardson, the college student, said she would happily finance a trip through Airfordable again.
"It made my trip so much more realistic in the sense that I could actually afford it," she said.
How to save on travel
Borrowing isn't your only option if you're struggling to pay for travel. If you must turn to financing, make sure to compare offers from several lenders, including APRs for travel credit cards, before borrowing to make sure you're getting the best rate. While you're at it, shop around for the best prices on flights, rooms and vacation packages.
If your vacation still feels out of reach, you may want to change up travel times or your destination. Weekday flights at weird hours tend to be cheaper, and less popular travel destinations may also save you money.

The newest snack here that hails from China is guo kui and Shanghai brand Xiao Yang Guo Kui is the first to bring it over to Singapore's shores. This popular street snack in China that originated in Hubei is not your average Chinese biscuit. It has 1000 years of history behind it and you can watch yours being made. Since it's baked-to-order, it always comes piping hot and you absolutely have to have it right away.
Guo kui is a crispy thin flatbread that is baked in a primitive method with a huge charcoal-heated cylindrical clay oven. For a snappy history lesson, guo kui has been around since the Three Kingdoms after a labourer put flour in his headpiece, which translates to kui, like a pot, which is guo, to cook it over fire. Over the years, it became a staple army provision and now, it's evolved to a popular local street snack that includes different ingredients.
Knobs of dough are kneaded, flattened, and used to wrap fillings. Then they are rolled flat and liberally sprinkled with sesame seeds before being baked in the oven for a short two to three minutes. The queue at Xiao Yang Guo Kui can grow pretty long but each oven can quickly bake up to six guo kui at a time so, don't fret, you can still grab a light breakfast from them without being late for school or work — especially since they start doling out these flatbreads as early as half past six in the morning.
Xiao Yang Guo Kui sells guo kui in six flavours. There's the dessert-flavoured Shangdong (S$2.20) which has red bean paste filling, and savoury options which are Chongqing (S$2.50), Jiangsu (S$2.50), Xi An (S$2.80), Sichuan ($2.80), and Shanghai (S$3).
One of our favourites was Shanghai which combines the different pickled veggies in Xi An, Jiangsu, and Chongqing. Sichuan fares even better if you enjoy some spice. No oil is used at all in the baking process so it's hardly greasy save from the little amounts of meat used in their guo kui. That's probably why the guo kui quickly grows addictive. Besides that, their Iced Chamomile Tea (S$1.80) which tastes a lot like chrysanthemum tea is one of their signature drinks.
This was a hosted media session by Xiao Yang Guo Kui.

Since 1978 workshops have been conducted between May and October. The beautiful resort setting of Northern Wisconsin provides all-on-one-location convenience for our guests. It was Dennis Robertson's vision to bring art workshops to the Dillman's peninsula as well as sites around the world. Denny and the entire Dillman family look forward to welcoming you! While participating in the workshop you will enjoy art instruction, camaraderie with like-minded artists, resort amenities, and 24-hour access to our state-of-the-art studios. For your convenience there is an on-site art supply/gift shop and the Tom Lynch Lending Library. For those staying on premise, there is a welcome dinner and reception included in the package price on the first night. Accommodations have cooking facilities for other meals. Lunches and dinners may be pre-ordered from the front desk. Dine-around dinners are optional. Dillman's has been in the family resort business since 1934 and we know how to make your art experience a vacation that you will treasure.
Your friends and relatives will find a hearty welcome to the resort and there are activities for all interests. They are often found relaxing, fishing, golfing, or out exploring the quaint communities in our area. Our staff can assist with area information, maps, reservations, and discounts on golf.
To view individual workshop pricing, please click on your instructor of interest on the right-hand column and then scroll down past the class description to view workshop and room/meal fees.
Our instructors would like students to know that all levels of experience will feel comfortable in their workshops. Please contact us if you have specific questions. A typical workshop takes place indoors, providing students with personal table space, standing room, mirrored demonstration area with seating, and wash-up area. Studios are available 24-hours a day. Students have the conveniences of restrooms, fresh coffee, daily snacks, and indoor and outdoor seating areas for meals. Typically, instructors demonstrate and lecture in the morning followed by a student practice session. After lunch, the instructor may demonstrate again and students create until the class ends, around 4pm. Plein air workshops are based out of the studio for some demonstrations and critiques, but utilize the resort grounds for painting. Of course there's always plenty of time to get to know your fellow students!
To offer the lowest possible cost, most of our workshops are tier priced according to the number of full-paying students. We will work with you and your fellow students in advance to establish the final cost closer to the start of the class. We hope you appreciate this attempt to assure your class will be offered and give you the added benefit of a small teacher student ratio in some classes. Also we encourage you to invite your friends to join you as the lower cost will reflect their joining in the fun. Call 715-588-3143 with questions.
Day students pay only the "Workshop Fee" (plus any model or material fees when applicable) for the class on either a prorated based on number of days attending. Day students are welcome to attend the Welcome Reception and Farewell Reception (included in your package). You are also invited to join the class dinners (additional fee). As a day student you are responsible for their own accommodations.
Class instruction (based on the number of teaching days for the individual class) with 24-hour studio time and model fees, where applicable. For the 4 and 5-day workshops, there is a welcome reception on the day of arrival, plus a mid-day champagne toast on the last day of class. Shorter classes vary in this respect. Specific class information and a list of supplies will be emailed in the "Welcome Packet," sent a month before the class starts. Your package also includes free use of extensive resort amenities and a complimentary pontoon ride.
Accommodations are for the night before the first day of class through the night of the last day of class, departing on the following day. The welcome dinner is included in the price. Lunches and dinners may be preordered. Dine-around dinner recommendations are provided. Individual workshop itineraries are listed on the bottom of each workshop description page.
Dillman's combines rustic Northwood's atmosphere with relaxed, casual elegance and convenience. Types of accommodations range from lakeside pine-paneled cabins to more contemporary efficiencies. Accommodations are assigned on available space. The size of the class's registration plays a role in assignment of units. You are welcome to request a first and second accommodation choice. Rates listed assume double occupancy and we are glad to assign you a roommate. If a roommate is not available or if you prefer a single room (with your own bedroom and bathroom, however, this might include a shared common living space in some accommodation types) the cost is an additional $30 per night. Based on availability and at the discretion of Dillman's. If a roommate is not available, the single supplement charge will be applied.
You are welcome to bring your PALs with you to Dillman's – friends or family members that won't attend your workshop, but stay in your unit and enjoy the resort amenities. PALs are subject to an additional accommodation fee of $45 per night +tax. (Children under 12 are half rate.) There is an additional charge of $25 +tax for PALs that partake in the Welcome Dinner (salad, entrée, dessert, beverage and tip).
For cancellations received six weeks prior to class, a full refund will be made minus a $75 service charge. Within 42 days (6 weeks) prior to the scheduled start date of the workshop there is NO refund. Dillman's and the instructors make the decision, based on enrollment, to hold workshops six weeks before the scheduled date. We always feel badly when a personal emergency arises after this time period. However, we must strictly adhere to this policy. Refunds will not be issued for classes missed due to illness, emergencies or events beyond our control. No-shows will not receive a refund, regardless of the circumstances. If you drop out of a class once it has started, you will not receive a refund. We reserve the right to cancel any workshop, in which case we will make a full refund. Trip cancellation insurance is strongly recommended.
Please reserve your workshop space as early as possible to avoid disappointing class cancellations. With MasterCard, Visa or personal check it is easy to make your $400 advance deposit, $200 for a Day Student. An additional $100 deposit will hold space for your PAL. We prefer that you pay your remaining balance upon arrival by check or cash. Reservations will be held only for two weeks without deposit. Please visit www.dillmans.com/register to sign up for your workshop. To pay by check: send your advanced deposit check, made out to Dillman's, to PO Box 98, Lac du Flambeau, WI 54538. Please note the workshop title, instructor, your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Please also note your second choice. TO PAY BY CREDIT CARD: call 715-588-3143.

Q: Pythonic get element of array or default if it doesn't exist We have
matches = re.findall(r'somewhat', 'somewhere')

Can we simplify this
if len(matches) > index:
    return matches[index]
else:
    return 'default'

or
return matches[index] if len(mathes) > index else 'default'

to something similar to JS's
return matches[index] || 'default'

that we can simply use
return 'somewhere'.match(/somewhat/)[index] || 'default'

A: Something like this might help:
>>> reg = re.compile('-\d+-')
>>> reg.findall('a-23-b-12-c') or ['default']
['-23-', '-12-']
>>> reg.findall('a-b-c') or ['default']
['default']

Edit
Ugly one-liner
(reg.findall('a-b-c')[index:] or ['default'])[0]

A: I'd be tempted to use a try except block. You'd be required to consider when index was negative though. Is this an error or an acceptable input?
But the following would work:
try:
    return re.findall(r'somewhat', 'somewhere')[index]
except IndexError:
    return 'default'

This is meant to be the preferred way if you're concerned about efficiency as it avoids checking the bounds of the array twice (once when you manually do it and and second when python does its internal check as well).
edit: I've never particularly liked this way as it hides any IndexErrors thrown by sub calls  and would return the default (which I doubt would be the desired behaviour and a possible source of bugs).

A: Not really, because running mathes[x] with an invalid index will throw an IndexError, which does not return False.

ŠKODA to power the 2020 Women's Tour and Tour of Britain
13 Dec 2019 12:01 am By Editor
ŚKODA has today announced an extension to its partnership with the Women's Tour and Tour of Britain races through 2020 as part of its continued push for gender equality in cycling.
As the Official Car Partner, as well as the Queen and King of the Mountains jersey sponsor, of Britain's leading professional cycling races, ŠKODA will play a key role in delivering the world's most watched women's cycle race*.
ŠKODA's partnership with SweetSpot, the organisers of both the Women's Tour and Tour of Britain, dates back to 2011. More recently, the iconic and innovative car manufacturer launched its #ThisIsOurTime campaign to champion the achievements and ambitions of women in cycling.
SKODA's car help deliver the Women's Tour and Tour of Britain, playing a key role in rider and spectator safety on event.
In quotes
Lisa Kirkbright from ŠKODA UK commented: "We are delighted to continue our sponsorship of these high-profile British cycling events.
"During the 2020 cycling season we will carry on our commitment to champion gender equality in the sport through the sponsorship of the Women's Tour and the continuation of the #ThisIsOurTime campaign."
Hugh Roberts, MD of SweetSpot Group, added: "As our longest-running jersey partner, we look forward to celebrating the 10th year of ŠKODA's involvement with Britain's leading cycle races in 2020.
"Given ŠKODA's leading role in the sport, in particular the #ThisIsOurTime campaign, it is fitting that they want to continue their association with the Women's Tour.
"Following last month's announcement detailing our 10-year partnership extension with British Cycling, this is the latest piece of excellent news showing the confidence in SweetSpot's world-leading events by a global brand."
Queen of the Mountains
The 2019 Women's Tour Queen of the Mountains title was won by Polish rider Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM Racing), who also took victory in the race's first-ever hill-top finish at Burton Dassett Country Park in Warwickshire.
Home rider Jacob Scott (SwiftCarbon Pro Cycling) triumphed in the competition at September's Tour of Britain.
Earlier this month race organisers announced that they are looking for a new title partner for the Women's Tour and Tour of Britain in 2020 onwards following the conclusion of the three-year partnership with OVO Energy.

Need A Dental Implant but Not Enough Bone?
Dr. Scott is one of the only dentists on the Gulf Coast to surgically treat bone loss. This includes more than 35 years experience in Sinus Lifts and Bone Grafting procedures for ridge and tooth site preservation.
In the majority of cases, the success of a restoration procedure can hinge on the height, depth, and width of the jawbone at the implant site.
When the jawbone associated with missing teeth shrinks, or has sustained significant damage, the implant(s) cannot be supported on this unstable foundation and bone grafting is usually recommended.
Periodontal Disease Periodontal disease can affect and permanently damage the jaw bone that supports the teeth. Affected areas progressively worsen until the teeth become unstable.
Tooth Extraction Studies have shown that patients who have experienced a tooth extraction subsequently lose 40-60% of the bone surrounding the extraction site during the following three years. Loss of bone results in what is called a "bone defect".
Injuries and Infections Dental injuries and other physical injuries resulting from a blow to the jaw can cause the bone to recede. Infections can also cause the jaw bone to recede in a similar way.
A Sinus bone graft can also be performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw.
Sinus Lift is a surgical method by which we can increase the amount bone tissue of the upper jaw, above the molars and premolars.
The maxillary sinuses are behind your cheeks and on top of the upper teeth and are like empty rooms that have nothing in them. Some of the roots of the natural upper teeth extend up into the maxillary sinuses. When these upper teeth are removed, there is often just a thin wall of bone separating the maxillary sinus and the mouth. Dental implants need bone to hold them in place. When the sinus wall is very thin, it is impossible to place dental implants in this bone.
To address this problem our dentist enters the sinus from where the upper teeth used to be. The sinus membrane is then lifted upward and donor bone is inserted into the floor of the sinus. After healing, the bone becomes part of the patient's jaw and dental implants can be inserted and stabilized in this new sinus bone.


The CEREC Omnicam 3D is a small intraoral camera that provides a detailed view of the structures of your smile. This advanced technology allows us to capture clear images of your oral cavity in real time with a full-color 3D video.
We use the precise information we get from the CEREC Omnicam 3D to design your restoration. That way, your restoration will match the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth and function the way it's supposed to.
The Carestream 9300C provides high-quality panoramic 2D digital imaging. It can also generate 3D images with up to seven different fields of view. This ability to change the viewpoint allows us to diagnoses dental issues with extreme accuracy, resulting in faster treatment and reduced recovery time for patients following complex procedures such as implant surgery.It takes less than 20 seconds for the Carestream 9300C to make a single revolution around your head as you sit comfortably. That's all the time it needs to tell us what we need to know to provide you with effective care and treatment planning.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This advanced milling unit allows us to produce customized abutments and crowns right here in our office with impressive speed and accuracy. Thanks to CEREC, dental restorations such as implants and crowns have never been faster.
For making lab restorations such as bridge frameworks, implant abutments, surgical guides, and more, the CEREC MC XL is an extremely convenient device.
Ceramic dental restorations must be heated inside a furnace in order to harden. The Ivoclar Vivadent Programat CS2 ceramic furnace significantly speeds up the firing process. For single-tooth restorations, it can complete the process in less than 15 minutes.
The Ivoclar Vivadent Programat CS2 uses muffle technology to provide even heat distribution, ensuring a durable and dependable restoration. This allows us to provide perfectly-fitted restorations without waiting a week to ten days for them to be delivered by the lab. That's why we can place an attractive dental crown that matches your smile in just one appointment.
Dolphin Software is an advanced system that helps us develop extremely precise, effective planning for orthodontic and restorative treatments. It's especially useful for helping us prepare for dental implant surgery, as we can create a virtual model of your teeth that allows us to anticipate any issues that might arise during surgery.
By combining this device with digital x-rays, CBCT scanners, and other advanced technology, we deliver carefully planned dental care that produces satisfying results.
Dr. Catherine Yazar and Dr. Mustafa Yazar are both passionate about our technology and the way it raises your level of care. If you have any questions about our technology, contact our practice and schedule a consultation with one of our dentists — we'll be happy to speak with you.


A Square World is a story of friends who enjoy the same routine day after day, each day is the same until an unexpected change is forced upon just one of them. This accidental happening throws everyone into disarray, the friends are suddenly divided into those who can and the one who can't.
The friends realise their daily routine is no longer as enjoyable as it was and together decide they need to redefine the rules of the square world where they live. By injecting a little fun and chaos they soon discover their lives won't be square ever again! A Square World looks at the unfairness of being left out in a world designed for everyone else but yourself.
We're coming to the end of our current tour, so only a few dates left.


Abstract: The round complexity of commitment schemes secure against man-in-the-middle attacks has been the focus of extensive research for about 25 years. The recent breakthrough of Goyal, Pandey and Richelson [STOC 2016] showed that 3 rounds are sufficient for (one-left, one-right) non-malleable commitments. This result matches a lower bound of [Pas13]. The state of affairs leaves still open the intriguing problem of constructing 3-round concurrent non-malleable commitment schemes. In this paper we solve the above open problem by showing how to transform any 3-round (one-left one-right) non-malleable commitment scheme (with some extractability property) in a 3-round concurrent non-malleable commitment scheme. Our transform makes use of complexity leveraging and when instantiated with the construction of [GPR16] gives a 3-round concurrent non-malleable commitment scheme from one-way permutations secure w.r.t. subexponential-time adversaries. We also show how our 3-round concurrent non-malleable commitment scheme can be used for 3-round arguments of knowledge and in turn for 3-round identification schemes secure against concurrent man-in-the-middle attacks.
Category / Keywords: non-malleability, commitments, PoKs, identification schemes.


This category includes mugs that feature images of buildings and trades that are related to the construction of buildings, bridges, or other projects. Many mugs with homes on them would be for contractors or home builders as a way to show how nice the houses they built were, other common buildings would be the factory or business of an entrepreneur or business owner.
Common trades seen on these mugs are carpenters, roofers, painters, masons, plasterers, plumbers, and wall paper hangers although others can be found as well.

Roadside History
Home / Trip Ideas / Roadside History
It is often easy to forget the work and vision of those who came before us. As we walk through downtown McCall with an ice cream cone in hand, we rarely remember that this vibrant town started as a 160 acre homestead. Posting a picture to Instagram of your hike to Louis Lake doesn't automatically trigger memories of dog sled teams battling the elements to deliver a few letters to the backcountry. New earrings from McCall Jewelry Company don't conjure images of rugged miners panning for gold in Kennally Creek.
However distant the past may seem, this history played a vital role in sculpting the culture and amenities we know and enjoy today. We invite you to take a stroll down memory lane as we bridge the divide between the past and present. You may be surprised at the secrets that lay just around the corner!

Cougar Mountain Lodge: Home of the Cougar Mountain Lodge, Smith's Ferry was the location of the very first ferry across the Payette River. In 1919 the first bridge was completed and became a vital crossing station and popular stopping place. The Lodge was constructed in 1938 and opened for business in 1941. Today, you can stay overnight in the unique log rooms, grab a quick bite at the restaurant or find those last minute items at the mini mart as you head out to recreate! Stop by this summer as the Cougar Mountain Lodge celebrates its 75th anniversary.

Starting in the 1920s, the sawmill in Cascade was a vital part of the area economy, responsible not only for helping build the robust timber industry, but also acting as a catalyst to build the railroad to connect Valley County with the Boise area. The Cascade sawmill changed hands multiple times, eventually ending up as part of the Boise Cascade Lumber Company. The mill was closed in 2001 leaving a large area of riverfront vacant. Enter Kelly's Whitewater Park. With a vision to revitalize Cascade as a tourist destination, community leaders and benefactors Mark and Kristina Pickard turned the idea of Kelly's into reality. Today, Kelly's is celebrated as one of the top whitewater parks in the country. Dive into the fun in your kayak or on your stand-up paddle board. You can also take a leisurely stroll along "The Strand," a 2.5 mile river trail, or cast a line from the beautifully landscaped riverbank or from Rock Island.

Roxy Theater: Opening its doors on July 14, 1939, the Roxy was the most advanced theatre in the Pacific Northwest at the time. The original building was constructed for $25,000 and blended old Hollywood glamour with small town charm; a mix that is still present today. A recent renovation has given new life to this stunning movie theater. With state-of-the art digital projection, Dolby 7.1 surround sound and interior renovations including brand new seating and an art deco box office and concession stand, the Roxy is still as elegant as ever. Catch the next big blockbuster hit at this landmark movie theater. Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for children. We also recommend the "date night" concession package…2 large drinks and a large popcorn for $7!

Roseberry, early 1900s (courtesy McCall Public Library)
Roseberry: In 1888 Howell T. Boydstun and his family came to the Idaho Territory from Missouri to eventually settle in the township of Roseberry, Idaho, 1 mile east of Donnelly on Roseberry Road. They traveled by railroad car with everything from stock animals to farm implements. By 1905, Roseberry was a growing town complete with a hotel, two black smiths, two stores, a restaurant, butcher shop and logging mill. While the town of Roseberry faded into a semi-ghost town by 1915, many of the original structures from the surrounding townsite are still standing. Tour buildings including the Mahala Blacksmith Shop (built in 1904), the Korvola Cabin (built in 1898) and the Carriage House (built in 1910) as part of the Roseberry museum complex. Roseberry is also home to the Summer Music Festival each July. Bring a picnic and your lawn chairs and enjoy three nights of world class music!

Silver Tip Hat Company: The Silver Tip Hat Company is located in the First State Bank building. Originally built in 1907 in Roseberry, the building was moved to Donnelly in 1917 when the railroad was built. Here, Randy Priest creates on-of-a-kind hats made from a 50/50 blend of beaver felt and rabbit fur. Each hat is handcrafted using traditional hat blocks in different heights and sizes. The felt is steamed and the hat block set in place. After the size has been set, the hat is transferred to a crown iron to smooth out the contours of the crown and smooth the felt. Priest still uses a crown iron made in 1899. To add creases and contours, the hat is again steamed and hand-molded into shape. Stop in to see new takes on traditional hats including the buckaroo and western fedora or design a custom creation!

Cougar Dave's: Dave Lewis was a hunter and trapper who homesteaded on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Originally from New Orleans, Lewis joined the Union Army and fought at Vicksburg with Wild Bill Hickock. After the war ended, Lewis narrowly escaped Little Big Horn in 1876 where he was a scout. From Montana, he moved to Oregon then Idaho and worked as a civilian packer during the Nez Perce War. Retiring from military life, Cougar Dave (as he would become known) hunted cougars with his contingent of dogs as a means of income. In 1936, Lewis contracted pneumonia and was transported by ambulance from Yellow Pine to Cascade. Enroute, the ambulance was hit head on by a truck. Lewis died the following day. While Cougar Dave may be gone, his legacy lives on at Cougar Dave's Restaurant in Donnelly. Try Bison Burger, locally sourced from nearby Northwood Buffalo Ranch, or the always delicious Double R Ranch Prime Rib.

McCall, Idaho
Lardo-Boydstun Store (courtesy McCall Public Library)
Lardo: It may be surprising that the site of the delicious hamburger you are enjoying for lunch is actually the site of the original settlement of McCall known as Lardo. In 1886, Lardo sprang up as a small gold mining town that boasted two blacksmiths, a stable, a meat market, a restaurant, a harness maker, two hotels and a post office and general store. In addition, the first newspaper in the area, the "Long Valley Advocate," was located in Lardo. Daily stage service ran between Lardo and Meadows for a fare of $1.75. It is said Lardo got its name when a wagon load of flour and lard overturned and mixed together to create a "lard dough." While there is no evidence to prove the truth of this event, it does make a great story! Today, the Lardo Grill and Saloon is the perfect stop after a day on the lake. We love the buffalo wings or loaded Lardo fries to start. Choose from a huge menu of burgers and sandwiches then make sure to save room for the hot buttered fudge cake with vanilla ice cream.

Train Depot: The first train arrived in McCall on June 20, 1914. Regular routes between McCall and the Treasure Valley ran Monday, Wednesday and Friday carrying passengers, freight and mail and essentially changing the landscape of McCall. With the ease of train travel, many people from the valley started to make vacation trips to the area. The rail line through the Payette River canyon was well-known as one of the most scenic routes in the United States. The main train depot is still standing today and the last visible evidence of the train service that ran until the 1980s. The historic McCall Depot was moved 100 yards north of Highway 55 and is now home to the Salmon River Brewery and Bistro 45. Hit happy hour at SRB and enjoy a pint of "Buzz Buzz Porter" or the popular "Shiver IPA." If wine is on your mind, head down Bistro 45 in the courtyard below and mingle with fellow wine-lovers.

Payette Lake: Hollywood comes to McCall! In the summer of 1939, Spencer Tracy, Robert Young, Walter Brennan and the Metro Golden Mayer crew descended on McCall to film "Northwest Passage" along the shores of Payette Lake. Sylvan Beach Resort, near present day "Charlie's Garden," served as headquarters for the film crew while various beaches along the lake and Payette River were transformed into elaborate movie sets. Over 150 movie extras from the local area were cast in the film and paid $5 per day with an extra $5 per day for anyone who had a beard. While little evidence of the movie sets can be seen today, the scenic shores of Payette Lake remain. Spend the day at one of the many public beaches building sand castles, playing Frisbee or enjoying a picnic. We love North Beach off Warren Wagon Road, Ponderosa State Park or Legacy Park right in the heart of downtown McCall.

New Meadows, Idaho
Packer John's Cabin, 1881 (courtesy McCall Public Library)
Packer John's Cabin: In 1862 John Welch set out to find a shortcut route between Lewiston and Idaho City to reduce transportation costs. He made it to Little Salmon Meadows as the snow set in. Stranded for the winter, he and his party built a cabin for the winter that would become the mid-point meeting place for the territorial conventions of 1863 and 1864. By the late 1800s, the site had fallen into disrepair, but continued to be a popular picnic site. The cabin was first restored in 1909 by John Hailey and the Historical Society where it stood until 1920 when a fire swept through the site. It was again rebuilt and Packer John's Cabin became a state park on March 6, 1951 and is part of the Ponderosa State Park system. This historic area now offers camping and biking and hiking trails.
Warren, Idaho
Warren, 1897 (courtesy McCall Public Library)
Polly Bemis: Perhaps one of the most famous names to come from Warren, Idaho is Lalu Nathoy, who would become known as Polly Bemis. She arrived in Warren, a thriving gold mining town at the time, after being sold at the age of 19 to Hong King. There she worked in King's saloon and dance hall and met her future husband Charlie Bemis. Charlie would later win Polly in a poker game. A consummate gambler, Charlie Bemis was shot in the left cheek during another poker game. When the doctor from Grangeville couldn't do anything for Charlie, Polly took charge and is said to have cleaned the wound with her crochet hook. After their marriage in 1894, Polly and Charlie moved from Warren to the Salmon River (a location now known as the Polly Bemis Ranch). Today, Warren is listed as a ghost town although it does have a year-round population. Pick up a walking tour from the Payette National Forest office in McCall and step back in time. The tour will lead you down Warren's main street, to the Guard Station and school, through the business district, past the Hotel and Dance Hall and more. After the tour, grab lunch at the Baum Shelter (open Thursday – Saturday from noon to early evening).
Dredge: Warren was one of the first mining settlements in the territory. The first miners came in the 1860s to pan for gold. Underground mines and dredge mining came later, but are the most visible remnants of the booming industry that resided in the area. Today, you can view the steam powered dredge last used in the area in the 1930s. The dredge is partially sunk along Warren Creek, but the old bucket line and upper story can still be seen. The dredge makes for a quick side trip from Warren. Access by car, ATV or UTV.

Q: existence of a specific solution to a difference equation I want to find the necessary conditions for positive sequence of real numbers, $\{a_n\}$ for which the following difference equation has a solution where $0 < \theta_n < \frac{\pi}{4}, \forall n$.
$$\theta _{n+1} = \arctan\left(\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\tan(2\theta_n)\right)$$
All I know about how to deal with such problems is "Oscillation Theory" (e.g. Saber Elyadi's Introduction to Difference Equations) where we have a set of conditions for nonoscillatory solutions of difference equations of the form $x_{n+1} - x_n + p(n)x_{n-k} = 0$ but it is not obvious how to extend those to trigonometric functions and even change of variables (e.g. using $x_{n+1} = \frac{2a_{n+1}}{a_n} \times \frac{x_n}{1-x_n^2}$) only yield nonlinearities that I cannot deal with. Any reference to the literature is also helpful.


There has not been a great deal for Antonio Conte to be positive about of late, but despite Barcelona comfortably beating Chelsea at the Nou Camp, the Italian cannot be too displeased with his side's performance, writes Pete Hall.
Poor goalkeeping, missed chances and Lionel Messi – that just about sums up Chelsea's evening in the Nou Camp as they bowed out of the Champions League, losing 4-1 on aggregate.
Thibaut Courtois should have done better with both Messi goals as the Barca superstar took his Champions League career tally to 100, but in this form, Messi is simply unplayable. There are no superlatives left to describe his feats.
Yet, even as Barcelona edged further and further ahead in the tie, Chelsea remained on top for large swathes of the game, just as they were in the first leg.
Chelsea fans enjoying some March sunshine on Barcelona's famous Las Ramblas plazas were surprisingly confident pre-match, despite their side's poor domestic form, and that overtly cocksure attitude came off the back of what they had seen for long periods at Stamford Bridge three weeks ago. The prospect of taking the game to Barcelona again excited those in blue in Catalonia.
That optimism was soon dashed as Messi scored from the tightest of angles inside two minutes – but still Chelsea attacked en masse.
One swift counter from Messi, sashaying past three defenders before squaring for Ousmane Dembele 20 minutes in and it was 2-0 – Barca scoring with each of their first two shots of the match, again against the run of play.
2-0 down, on the back of five defeats in their last 10 in all competitions, all while playing against the might of a Messi-inspired Barca, you'd have forgiven Chelsea for letting their heads drop, but they kept coming and coming.
It was poor decision-making, at crucial times, that has cost them dear in both legs. Every goal was avoidable. Andreas Christensen's inexplicable pass across his own box in the first leg, Courtois' poor positioning for the opener in the Nou Camp, Cesc Fabregas dwelling too long on the ball for the second, and Cesar Azpilicueta's sloppiness for the third – all brilliantly executed by Barca – with a huge helping hand from Chelsea.
Chances kept coming, and going. N'Golo Kante took the ball off Fabregas' foot late in the first half, before Marcos Alonso hit the post with a free-kick just before the interval – the third time the woodwork had denied Chelsea in the tie.
Chelsea had six shots to Barcelona's four in the first half, then another six in the second, had a huge penalty appeal waved away, hit the post again, and were even denied by a goal-saving tackle by Dembele – the ball just wouldn't go in.
Former Chelsea duo Steven Sidwell and Mark Schwarzer discuss the Blues' performance in Barcelona as they crashed out of the Champions League last-16, losing 4-1 on aggregate.
Many of the travelling Chelsea fans stayed behind to applaud their team off the pitch, appreciative of the effort they put in.
Losing 4-1 on aggregate at this stage of the Champions League isn't exactly going to alleviate pressure on Conte's hardened shoulders, but this wasn't a team not playing for their manager – Chelsea did put everything into both legs against the unbeaten La Liga leaders, had their chances, but just didn't take them.
Conte's tactics seemed to work too, in an attacking sense. Chelsea didn't have much of the ball in the first half, but could break quickly with Olivier Giroud acting as the pivot. Willian and Eden Hazard drifted into space, and caused continual problems. Again, there was just no end product.
Take the superhuman Messi out of the equation, and cut out the silly mistakes that proved so costly, and this tie could have a whole different complexion altogether, and such a spirited performance will give fans hope their side's season may have a happy ending yet.


On Friday (10.09) night, the New Orleans Opera Association opened their season with a classic. Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata delighted the crowd at the Mahalia Jackson Theater. Despite a rocky premier, these positive performances have been a trend for the work for over a century. In fact, the piece has become known as an "introductory opera." With that in mind, NoDef offers a primer.


As web designers, we are very excited for what lies ahead. The evolution of web design is about to change in more tangible ways than ever.
This is especially the case for the masterminds at Google, who are wanting to take a big step towards realizing their vision for the web.
Their vision, of course, is to develop consistency across their many platforms and the web itself through their Material Design Process.
The Webaholics Team is looking forward to learning more about Google's new secrets with this web design tactic and will be using it more often in the new websites we will design over the course of 2017.
So, what is Materialistic Web Design?
Imagine the screen you're looking at is realistic, 3-dimensional, and tangible. When boxes are moving and have shadows on the page, it feels more interactive.
The graphics are bold and give the purpose of centering the focus for the user. Reality is suddenly on the web page because of these materialistic elements.
Details are what make materialistic web design seem simple, but the strategy can be complex.
Consider how images and boxes interact with the white space. It is common knowledge to keep white space in mind, but materialistic web design focuses on the attention to the objects.
Instead of changing environments, the whole experience stays in the same place. Transitions from one material to the next will keep the flow of attention at bay.
There are key lights and ambient lights. These are used in combination or by themselves. It is the context of the content that determines what type of light should be used.
There are ways to bring objects to life by giving them dimension to the eye. Here is an example that New Star uses on their website, with the object given a key light at a head on angle.
On most of New Star's pages, each object has a way to interact with just hovering over it with a cursor. There is a lot of excitement with the level of professionalism this type of design brings.

Q: Coletar os dados de um JTable e enviar para um List Na minha aplicação Java, tenho uma tela de venda onde os produtos que são selecionados vão para um JTable. Ao finalizar a venda, preciso coletar os dados da JTable e entregar para o método de impressão, que fica em outra classe. Só que não estou conseguindo imaginar a forma mais correta de criar o List e entregar ao outro método.
Abaixo vou colocar o código por onde estou caminhando.
TelaVenda.java
public void capturaProduto(){
    ArrayList lp = new ArrayList();

     for (int i = 0; i < TbProdutosVenda.getRowCount(); i++) {
         lp.add(TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 1).toString());
         lp.add(TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 2).toString());
         lp.add(TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 3).toString());
         lp.add(TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 6).toString());
     }

     imp.imprimirBalcao(lp);
}

Impresso.java
public void imprimirBalcao(List lista) {
    Frame f = new Frame("Frame temporário");
    f.pack();
    Toolkit tk = f.getToolkit();
    PrintJob pj = tk.getPrintJob(f, "MP4200", null);

    if (pj != null) {
        Graphics g = pj.getGraphics();
        g.drawString("Relacao de produtos", 50, 30);
        int y = 70;
        for (int i = 0; i < lista.size(); i++) {
            g.drawString("Código: " + lista.get(i), 50, y);
            y += 25;
            g.drawString("Nome: " + lista.get(i), 50, y);
            y += 25;
            g.drawString("Quantidade: " + lista.get(i), 50, y);
            y += 25;
            g.drawString("Preço: " + lista.get(i), 50, y);
            y += 50;
        }

        g.dispose();

        pj.end();
    }

    f.dispose();
}

A: Primeiramente, modele algumas classes que descrevam o que é que você vai imprimir e coloque nelas um método responsável por imprimí-las. Vejamos, uma relatação de produtos impressa tem vários produtos impressos e cada produto impresso tem código, nome, quantidade e preço. Portanto:
public class ProdutoImpresso implements Drawable {
    private final String codigo;
    private final String nome;
    private final String quantidade;
    private final String preco;

    public ProdutoImpresso(String codigo, String nome, String quantidade, String preco) {
        this.codigo = codigo;
        this.nome = nome;
        this.quantidade = quantidade;
        this.preco = preco;
    }

    @Override
    public void draw(int x, int y, Graphics g) {
        g.drawString("Código: " + codigo, x, y);
        g.drawString("Nome: " + nome, x, y + 25);
        g.drawString("Quantidade: " + quantidade, x, y + 50);
        g.drawString("Preço: " + preco, x, y + 75);
    }
}

public class RelacaoDeProdutos implements Drawable {
    private final List<ProdutoImpresso> itens;

    public RelacaoDeProdutos(List<ProdutoImpresso> itens) {
        this.itens = itens;
    }

    @Override
    public void draw(int x, int y, Graphics g) {
        g.drawString("Relação de produtos", x, y);
        int y2 = y + 40;
        for (ProdutoImpresso i : itens) {
            i.draw(x, y2, g);
            y2 += 125;
        }
    }
}

Aquela interface ali é porque você provavelmente vai querer estender isso para outras coisas que você pode querer imprimir:
public interface Drawable {
    public void draw(int x, int y, Graphics g);
}

Tendo feito isso, as suas outras classes se tornam simples:
public void capturaProduto() {
    List<ProdutoImpresso> lp = new ArrayList<>();

    for (int i = 0; i < TbProdutosVenda.getRowCount(); i++) {
        ProdutoImpresso item = new ProdutoImpresso(
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 1).toString(),
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 2).toString(),
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 3).toString(),
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 6).toString());
        lp.add(item);
    }

    RelacaoDeProdutos r = new RelacaoDeProdutos(lp);
    imp.imprimir("MP4200", 50, 30, r);
}

public void imprimir(String titulo, int x, int y, Drawable toDraw) {
    Frame f = new Frame("Frame temporário");
    f.pack();
    Toolkit tk = f.getToolkit();
    PrintJob pj = tk.getPrintJob(f, titulo, null);
    Graphics g = null;
    try {
        if (pj != null) {
            g = pj.getGraphics();
            toDraw.draw(x, y, g);
        }
    } finally {
        if (g != null) g.dispose();
        if (pj != null) pj.end();
        f.dispose();
    }
}

O bloco finally serve para o caso de ele finalizar os objetos mesmo se você passar algum Drawable mal-comportado que lance uma exceção no método draw.
A vantagem de fazer desse jeito é que sempre que você tiver alguma coisa que pode ser desenhada na tela, na impressora ou em algum outro lugar, basta você implementar a interface Drawable e pronto. Além disso, sempre que você tiver um objeto complexo de ser impresso/desenhado no todo, vale usar a estratégia de que cada parte é responsável pelo seu próprio desenho, fazendo um Drawable ser composto de outros Drawables.
Por fim, para imprimir qualquer Drawable, tudo que você precisará fazer é (depois de ter criado o Drawable):
    imp.imprimir(titulo, x, y, drawable);

Se você estiver com o Java 8, pode tentar um passo mais ousado e fazer a sua Drawable assim:
public interface Drawable {
    public void draw(int x, int y, Graphics g);

    public default void imprimir(String titulo, int x, int y) {
        Frame f = new Frame("Frame temporário");
        f.pack();
        Toolkit tk = f.getToolkit();
        PrintJob pj = tk.getPrintJob(f, titulo, null);
        Graphics g = null;
        try {
            if (pj != null) {
                g = pj.getGraphics();
                draw(x, y, g);
            }
        } finally {
            if (g != null) g.dispose();
            if (pj != null) pj.end();
            f.dispose();
        }
    }
}

E com isso o seu método capturaProduto() fica assim:
public void capturaProduto() {
    List<ProdutoImpresso> lp = new ArrayList<>();

    for (int i = 0; i < TbProdutosVenda.getRowCount(); i++) {
        ProdutoImpresso item = new ProdutoImpresso(
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 1).toString(),
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 2).toString(),
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 3).toString(),
                TbProdutosVenda.getValueAt(i, 6).toString());
        lp.add(item);
    }

    RelacaoDeProdutos r = new RelacaoDeProdutos(lp);
    r.imprimir("MP4200", 50, 30);
}

E então você não precisa mais usar o objeto imp da classe Impresso.
