Q: Codility - FrogRiverOne I've googled and asked people about this question, but can't get the meaning. I know my solution is incorrect, but I hope it can help (it's on JS):

let C = [1, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 5, 4],
  Y = 4;

function solution(X, A) {

  var leaves = [];
  var i = 0;
  var result = -1;

  for (i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
    if (typeof leaves[A[i]] == 'undefined') {
      leaves[A[i]] = i;
    }
  }

  if (leaves.length <= X) {
    return -1;
  }

  for (i = 1; i <= X; i++) {
    if (typeof leaves[i] == 'undefined') {
      return -1;
    } else {
      result = Math.max(result, leaves[i]);
    }
  }

  return result;
}

console.log(solution(Y, C));

I don't need a solution to the task, I just need its clearer explanation, i.e what I have to do to solve it.

A: Simple 100% solution using Set().  Being a Set can only contain unique values, you can simply iterate through array A, adding the values into a Set until the size of Set equals the integer X, at which point that array key is the solution.
function solution(X, A) {

    let holdValues = new Set();
    for(i=0;i<A.length;i++) {
        holdValues.add(A[i]);
        if(holdValues.size == X)return i;
    }

    return -1;

}

A: Okay, I figured out your problem for you. Your solution is actually almost correct, but you overcomplicated the evaluation. All you have to do is initialize a counter variable to 0, and as you iterate over A in the first loop, whenever leaves[A[i]] is undefined, increment this counter. This indicates that a leaf has fallen into a position where there is no leaf yet. If after incrementing the counter is equal to X, it means all positions now have leaves on them, so just return i. If your loop makes it all the way to the end of A, it means there are uncovered positions, so return -1.

A: My java Solution (100% Correctness, 100% Performance) it has:
Time complexity => O(N)
Space complexity => O(X)
 public int solution(int X, int[] A) {

    int[] flags = new int[X + 1];
    int sum = 0;

    //Equivalent to all the leafs have fallen.
    int desiredSum = (X * (X + 1)) / 2; // 1 + 2 + ....n = (n * (n + 1)) / 2

    for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {

        //Verify if the leaf [i] has fallen.
        if (A[i] <= X && flags[A[i]] == 0) {
            flags[A[i]] = 1;
            sum += A[i];
        }

        //Verify if all the leafs have fallen.
        if (sum == desiredSum) {
            return i;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

A: Here is my solution using javascript:
function solution(X, A) {

    let set = new Set();

    for(let i = 0; i < A.length; i++){
        if(A[i] <= X){
            set.add(A[i]);
        }

        if(set.size === X){
            return i;
        }
    }

    return -1;
}

A: Dictionary is better than Set, the complexity of updating or getting count of dic is O(1).
public func solution(_ x : Int, _ array: [Int]) -> Int {
    let count = array.count
    if x > count { return -1 }

    var map = [Int: Bool]()
    for i in 0..<count {
        map[array[i]] = true

        if map.count == x {
            return i
        }
    }

    return -1
}

A: public int solution(int X, int[] A) {
        int sec = -1;
        Set<Integer> checkList = new HashSet<>();
        for(int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
            if(A[i] >= 1 && A[i] <= X && checkList.size() < X) {
                checkList.add(A[i]);
                if (sec < i) {
                    sec = i;
                }
            }
            if(checkList.size() == X) {
                break;
            }
        }
        System.out.println(checkList.toString());
        if(checkList.size() < X) {
            sec = -1;
        }
        return sec;
    }

A: function solution(A) {
    let count = Math.floor(A.length / 2);

    let map = new Map();

    for (let i = 0; i < A.length; i++)
        map.set(A[i], map.has(A[i]) ? map.get(A[i]) + 1 : 1);

    for (const k of map.keys())
        if (map.get(k) > count)
            return A.indexOf(k);

    return -1;
}

A: C#:
    using System.Collections.Generic;
...
    public static int solution(int X, int[] A)
            {
                HashSet<int> numbers = new HashSet<int>();
                for (int i = 0; i < A.Length; i++)
                {
                    numbers.Add(A[i]);

                    if (numbers.Count==X)
                    {
                        return i;
                    }
                  }
                  return -1;
            }

A: Solution in Javascript, 100%, O(N), its a bit quicker than using sets on the performance tests. Longest part of this exercise was figuring out the question! Anyway, here's my solution:
function solution(X, A) {
  let newArray = new Array(X + 1);

  for (let i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
    if (!newArray[A[i]]) {
      newArray[A[i]] = true;
      X--;

      if (!X) {
        return i;
      }
    }
  }
  return -1;
}

A: this is my solution, java score 100:
    HashSet<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
    int response = -1;
    for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++){
        set.add(A[i]);
        if (set.size() == X){
            response = i;
            break;
        }

    }
    return response;

A: Here's a maximum score solution in C++ for completeness:
I was searching for the optimum in performance and space but also elegance. In performance bachiri-taoufiq-abderrahman's flagging solution in Java was clearly better than set/map lookup but calculating the series for 0 + 1 + 2 + ... n = n * (n + 1) / 2 is actually not necessary for solving the task. Since all position changes are steps of size 1 a regular position counter is sufficient. Also, a vector<bool> can improve space requirements because it might be implemented as bitset in C++.
#include <vector>

int solution(int X, std::vector<int> &A)
{
   std::vector<bool> seen(X, false);

   int position = 0;
   int time = 0;

   for (int t=0; t < static_cast<int>(A.size()); ++t)
   {
      // each element of A is within the range [1, X]
      auto const index = A[t] - 1;
      if (index < X && !seen[index])
      {
         seen[index] = true;
         if (t > time)
             time = t;
         if (++position == X)
            break;
      }
   }

   return position == X ? time : -1;
}

A: Plain java solution
 class Solution {
        public int solution(int X, int[] A) {
            // write your code in Java SE 8

            int leaves = A.length;
            int counter=0;
            int [] path= new int [X+1];

            for (int t=0; t<leaves; t++){
                if(path[A[t]]!=A[t]){
                path[A[t]]=A[t];
                counter++;
                }
                if (counter==X)
                return t;

            }
            return -1;
        }
    }


The brief was to create a contemporary and luxurious space with key storytelling elements, Bentley craftsmanship & materials, and a series of intimate destinations within the space to entertain and engage visitors. The scope of the project also included designing a Bentley Boutique store, to sell Bentley branded merchandise and partner brand luxury goods.
The design process began with an immersion into the unique character and heritage of the Bentley brand and product. Inspiration was taken from Bentley's powerful design and performance, individual styling, personalisation and exquisite quality.
The creative team started with a complete re-planning of the reception and surrounding space, creating a journey along a series of engaging destinations and making the most efficient use of the area by creating a new customer meeting room from previously redundant storage and back office space. Taking design cues from Bentley cars, the scheme was based around a series of curves and circular forms, planned around the building's iconic sweeping staircase.
The Boutique is perhaps the most significant element of the scheme as this will form the blueprint for Bentley's merchandise retail offer in dealerships and standalone stores in the years to come. A modular and flexible shopfitting system was incorporated into beautiful bespoke showcase cabinetry, finished in oak veneer leather, inset chrome and paint lacquer.

Q: Script to Parse and Change Numbers I am working with numbers a lot when editing a particular type of file, and it's mostly tedious work. The file has a format like this:
damagebase = 8.834
    "abc_foo.odf" 3.77
    "def_bar.odf" 3.77
    "ghi_baz.odf" 3.77
    "jkl_blah.odf" 4.05
    ...

What would you recommend for writing a script that parses this and lets me programmatically change each number?
Language: i use C#, some F# (noob), and Lua. If you suggest regexes, could you provide specific ones as i am not familiar with them?

A: Perl is pretty good for stuff like this. Here's a perl script that will do what you want.
#!/usr/bin/env perl

$multiplier = 2.0;

while (<>)
{
    $n = /=/ ? 2 : 1;
    @tokens = split;
    $tokens[$n] *= $multiplier;

    print "\t" if not /=/;
    print join(' ', @tokens) . "\n";
}

Usage:
./file.pl input_file > output_file

A: If that's really all you want to do, use awk:
awk '{$NF *= 2.5 ; print }' < input_file > output_file

EDITED: All right, if you want to keep the whitespace as you describe, this should work (although it's getting inelegant).
awk '{$NF *= 2.5} /^\"/{print "\t" $0} !/^\"/{print}' < input_file > output_file

A: You can use AWK like this (note how the formatting was converted easily for the purpose),
sed 's/damagebase =/damagebase=/g' input.txt |\
    awk '{printf "     %s %s\n",$1,3.1*$2}' |\
    sed 's/.*damagebase=/damagebase =/g'

I am multiplying the 2nd column by 3.1 in this sample script.
Note that to restore your formatting,
there is a TAB inserted at the start of the printf and,
the two sed commands translate from-and-back your format to a suitable one for the AWK command

A: You can match runs of non-whitespace and punt to Double.Parse:
int multiplier = 3;

string input =
  "damagebase = 8.834\n" +
  "  \"abc.odf\" 3.77\n" +
  "  \"def.odf\" 3.77\n" +
  "  \"ghi.odf\" .77\n" +
  "  \"jkl.odf\" -4.05\n" +
  "  \"mno.odf\" 5\n";

Regex r = new Regex(@"^(\w+)\s*=\s*(\S+)" +
                    @"(?:\s+""([^""]+)""\s+(\S+))+",
                    RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline);

Match m = r.Match(input);
if (m.Success) {
  double header = Double.Parse(m.Groups[2].Value);
  Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", m.Groups[1].Value,
                                 header * multiplier);

  CaptureCollection files = m.Groups[3].Captures;
  CaptureCollection nums  = m.Groups[4].Captures;
  for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++) {
    double val = Double.Parse(nums[i].Value);
    Console.WriteLine(@"  ""{0}"" {1}", files[i].Value,
                                        val * multiplier);
  }
}
else
  Console.WriteLine("no match");

Running it gives
damagebase = 26.502
  "abc.odf" 11.31
  "def.odf" 11.31
  "ghi.odf" 2.31
  "jkl.odf" -12.15
  "mno.odf" 15

A: I tried
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Please enter the multiplier:");
    string stringMult = Console.ReadLine();
    int multiplier;
    Int32.TryParse(stringMult, out multiplier);
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@"C:\Users\[obscured]\Desktop\Fleetops Mod\Data To Process.txt", true);
    string input = sr.ReadToEnd();
    sr.Close();
    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Users\[obscured]\Desktop\Fleetops Mod\Data To Process.txt", false);
    Regex r = new Regex(@"^(\w+)\s*=\s*(\S+)" +
            @"(?:\s+""([^""]+)""\s+(\S+))+",
            RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.MultiLine);
    Match m = r.Match(input);
    if (m.Success) {
        double header = Double.Parse(m.Groups[2].Value);
        sw.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", m.Groups[1].Value,
                         header * multiplier);
        CaptureCollection files = m.Groups[3].Captures;
        CaptureCollection nums  = m.Groups[4].Captures;
        for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++) {
            double val = Double.Parse(nums[i].Value);
            sw.WriteLine(@"  ""{0}"" {1}", files[i].Value,
                                val * multiplier);
        }
    }
    else
        Console.WriteLine("no match");
    sw.Close();
    Console.WriteLine("Done!");
    Console.ReadKey();
}

(thanks gbacon)
and it comes back with "no match" even when i put in the right data. Why does it do this?

My theory is that because the whitespace preceding each non-header line is a tab (and it won't show up that way here), the regex doesn't match. In case you're wondering, the whitespace IS important.

Contraflow for A96 near Aberdeen Airport
A contraflow is planned to be in place on the A96 near Aberdeen Airport this weekend from 8pm on Friday 9 June to 6am on Monday 12 June, to undertake road pavement works, as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route / Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project.
Road users travelling east and west will use the westbound carriageway on Friday 9 June and part of Saturday 10 June. During Saturday 10 June, road users will be transferred onto the eastbound carriageway. The eastbound carriageway will also be used by traffic on Sunday 11 June and the morning of Monday 12 June.
Access routes to the Airport will be signposted.
When the contraflow is in place on the westbound carriageway, access to and from the Airport will be via Dyce Drive only.
Once the contraflow changes to the eastbound carriageway, road users travelling east along the A96 can use either the new airport link road via Craibstone Roundabout or Dyce Drive. Road users heading west along the A96 from Aberdeen must use Dyce Drive.
Road users coming from the airport and travelling west must also use Dyce Drive to join the A96. Road users intending to travel east along the A96 from the airport can use the airport link road to Craibstone Roundabout or Dyce Drive.
A Transport Scotland spokesperson said:
"This contraflow is necessary to enable the contractor to undertake pavement works on the A96 and associated road crossings, while enhancing the safety of road workers and road users.
"We would like to encourage road users who need to travel through or nearby this area over this weekend to plan their journeys in advance, especially if they are travelling to Aberdeen Airport, so they can reach their destination safely and on time.
"The contractor has been working closely with Police Scotland, Aberdeen International Airport and the local authorities to ensure that users of this key junction can safely complete their journeys while these works are underway. However, as with all changes to road layout, we advise road users to drive more cautiously than usual.
"We would like to thank road users for their continued patience during these construction works."

Small Projects Istanbul has recently had the pleasure of learning new techniques in a week-long Music Therapy Workshop led by Lucas Dols. Having participated in the training, program leader Naz Saglam wanted to put into practice the therapy tools she'd learned with her students.
Naz selected several youth support volunteers to take part in the practice and to share her new skills and theory. In the workshop, Naz and volunteers led the way by modeling simple rhythms that could be replicated using objects like drums improvised from pens and buckets. Other rhythm-making tools were participant voices and bodies. The students were instructed to listen, create, and enjoy the sounds that could be made individually and collectively.
The students always take interest in activities that feel like playing a game, but this one was unique as it engaged their creativity and awareness.
Traditionally, students are divided into groups or teams to compete with each other for sports or games, which fuels their motivation to succeed, with a clear cut outcome – the win! This time students had to embrace one another in groups and see themselves as a united whole in order to achieve and maintain harmony.
To reveal greater creativity and develop more complicated beats, students were required to play closer attention to one other and to focus on the timing and sounds their partner was creating. This was a good practice for watching, listening, and recognizing the importance of these skills for a more beautiful collective output. Groups that were able to collaborate recognize the benefit of deeper involvement with their group and felt excited about the new rhythms they could create together.
In the latest session with their Robert College mentors, fourteen students from SPI attended an off-site day of games and conversation. Upon arrival, craft equipment was ready and students jumped into personalizing their name tags with their favorite colors, teams, and animals. This was a way for the students to share a bit more about themselves and to grow in their relationships with their mentors. After this icebreaker the students joined in and colored posters together to get them working as a team. Robert College volunteers taught the kids how to make paper planes. The students had fun experimenting with the craft and trying to make the best flying plane.
Volunteers were in high spirits and we very hands on, making sure the kids felt comfortable, involved and expressed themselves. During the short snack break the students were divided into several tables with their mentors among them for a nice friendly chat. The program coordinators and volunteers enjoyed watching as the kids engaged and cheerfully answered questions.
After snack time, the group all joined in a game of musical chairs which kept the energy high! There were a lot of laughs and the kids said they really enjoyed their time. On the way back to the center the kids all said they are looking forward to the next session.


understanding way if, as in my case, I needed some more focus in a few areas.
me and teach me how to heal myself and help others. She is also an extraordinary counselor.
many healing techniques would be a benefit to anyone's life.
Thanks Sharon, Love you girl!..
Sharon a friend, and she will do everything she can to help you.
invaluable! Sharon is a joy to know and work with, and she's so much fun to be around when "Spirit" comes to play!
simply gone. This was an amazing first experience!
about yourself you did not know before. This is simply just a quick summary of just a few of the sessions I've had with Sharon.
genuine, loving, accurate, truthful and exudes with passion for her work.
feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, glowing with joy, and most importantly healed.
has helped me transform my life in such a way, that I now too, strive to inspire and teach others.
have been very useful and the things she's warned me about have been absolutely right!

Pregnancy-Planning
Border - summary of the work by Zofia Nałkowska
"Granica", a summary of which you should know, is reading that may appear on the matriculation examination. What is the novel by Zofia Nałkowska about? What threads does it tackle? Read on.
See the movie: "How can you help your toddler find himself in a new environment?"
Zofia Nałkowska used the time inversion in her novel. The piece begins and ends with information in local newspapers about the death of the city's president, Zenon Ziembiewicz, and the arrest of Justyna Bogutówna.
What are the meals at schools in the world like? How does Poland fare in this respect? [13 photos]
Every country in the world has its own standards regarding nutrition in school canteens. Some ...
1. Border - detailed reading summary
Zenon Ziembiewicz was well known in the city. He was perceived as a stable and responsible man. He seemed to be leading a quiet life. The news of his death shocked the inhabitants. Nobody expected a tragedy to happen. People began to talk loudly about the moral scandal, especially since Zenon's lover, Justyna Bogutówna, was arrested. During her last visit to Ziembiewicz's office, she became hysterical, poured acid on the man and tried to jump out the window. The president lost his eyesight and committed suicide.
Zenon Ziembiewicz was the son of Walerian Ziembiewicz and Joanna née Niemer. He spent his childhood and youth in Boleborze, where his father served as the ruler. With time, young Zeno less and less and reluctantly returned from the city where he had studied, to his family home. He also began to be ashamed of his family, e.g. he was irritated by his father's stories.
Dziady - a summary of part II
"Dziady" (Forefathers' Eve) is a book that evokes great emotions among students. Summary of this most popular drama ...
In the second chapter of the novel, we meet Cecylia Kolichowska. Her first husband, and at the same time a great love, Konstanty Wąbrowski, was a socialist. He committed suicide shortly before the outbreak of World War I. Cecylia married a second time. Her chosen one was Aleksander Kolichowski, who was 15 years his senior. When he died, the woman was left alone. In his tenement house at ul. Staszica rented flats, which, however, posed many problems (some residents did not pay the rent). She lived on the ground floor herself. In her living room there were furniture brought from other rooms, which was very much appreciated by Zenon, who came to tutor Cecylia's ward, Elżbieta Biecka. He talked a lot with the girl. He even mentioned the young Justyna, whom he had met in the village of Bolebora.
Zeno started studying in Paris. When he returned, he called Elizabeth. He also ran into Justyna, who confided to him about a family tragedy: her mother died. The woman was crying, so Zeno started to console her. He managed to calm Justyna in the hotel, where he could kiss and hug her. This is how their romance began.
"Song about Roland" - summary of the knightly epic
The "Song about Roland", discussed in fragments in primary school, the summary of which we present below, ...
Zeno started working in the editorial office, but he was not satisfied with it. He sought consolation in his walks with Elizabeth. Ultimately, he decided to break up with Justyna, but when he told the woman about it, she surprised him with the news of her pregnancy. The man stated that he did not want this child. He offered an abortion.
Zeno confessed to Elizabeth of treason. He also said that Justyna is pregnant. The woman, however, forgave the man. When she met with Justyna, she asked her if she had any feelings for Zenon. When she was unable to clearly answer this question, Elżbieta declared that she would not marry him and that the woman could bond with him. Justyna, however, was outraged by this attitude. When she told Zenon about the conversation with Elizabeth, he was angry with her.
Elżbieta decided to go to her mother. She left Zenon a letter in which she wrote that she did not want to meet him anymore. Nevertheless, she missed the man and was deeply affected by the fact that he had not spoken to her for two months. When Elżbieta was to leave with her mother, Zenon came to the woman and confessed that they could finally be together, because nothing was standing in the way of their mutual happiness.
Justyna asked Zenon to help her get employment in the store. At first she was satisfied with her work, but with time she stopped coming to her.
"Odyssey" - fragment summary
The "Odyssey" should be known to students preparing for the matriculation examination. Summary of the whole ...
The man married Elżbieta and became the city's president. One day Justyna appeared in his office, demanding that this one helped her get a job in a pastry shop.
Zeno got along with his wife less and less. Justyna harassed him with letters. Eventually, he decided to visit her, and after returning from the woman, he confessed to his wife that the former lover was showing symptoms of mental illness (which, however, was not confirmed by the doctor).
Justyna was not doing well. She had nightmares. She felt guilty that she had decided to terminate the pregnancy. She tried to poison herself. Zeno accused his wife of the condition of the woman. Workers' riots and related riots began in the city. All this led to an avalanche of tragic events: Justyna poured acid on Zenon, as a result of which the man lost his eyesight and decided to commit suicide. Elżbieta went abroad.

Speakers Circle is MU's epicenter of free speech.
Armed with cell phones, students document the flames as a replica residence hall room burns Sept. 18, 2013, on Speakers Circle. Columbia Fire Department firefighters ignited the room at the 13th annual Fire Factor to demonstrate fire safety in residence halls.
On any given day, if you walk just outside the Arts and Science Building where Ninth Street turns into Conley Avenue, you could encounter an evangelical preacher trying to save souls, fraternity brothers raising money for charity, theater students performing Twelfth Night, an avid hacky sacker practicing foot‐eye coordination, human rights activists raising awareness of human trafficking, the Columbia Fire Department simulating a dorm room fire or protesters promoting their political cause.
After students protested the University of Missouri System's investment in companies operating in South Africa during apartheid by building a shantytown on Francis Quadrangle in October 1986, campus administrators issued guidelines that restricted use of the Quad to official university events. On Feb. 2, 1987, UM System President C. Peter Magrath designated Conley Plaza as the only area on campus where speakers need not get permits. The M‐Book, Mizzou's student guide to the campus community, specifies no limits on the number of speakers or the times they speak. However, sound amplification equipment and musical instruments must not disrupt class, and pedestrians must be allowed to pass.
These photos illustrate a year in the life on what is now known as Speakers Circle, where free speech reigns.

The Pioneers ist eines der kommerziell erfolgreichsten und musikalisch interessantesten jamaikanischen Vokal-Trios des Early Reggae, also der Entstehungszeit und Frühphase der Reggae-Musik.

Biografie
Die Gruppe wird 1962 von Winston Hewitt und den Brüdern Derrick und Sydney Crooks (* 24. Februar 1945, Westmorland, Jamaika), gegründet, Hewitt wird jedoch bald durch Glen Adams ersetzt. Ihre erste Single "Sometime" nehmen sie 1965, noch in der Ska-Ära, für den Produzenten Leslie Kong auf. Adams verfolgt bald eine Karriere als Studio-Musiker und spielt Orgel bei Lee Perrys Band The Upsetters, Derrick Crooks wird durch Jackie Robinson (* 21. Juli 1951) ersetzt. In der Besetzung Sydney Crooks / Jackie Robinson nehmen die Pioneers 1967 für den Produzenten Joe Gibbs mit "Gimme A Little Loving" ihre erste Single auf, die in den jamaikanischen Single-Charts Platz 1 erreichen soll. Ebenfalls ein Top-Hit wird "Long Shot", ein Song über die Erfolge eines berühmten jamaikanischen Rennpferds. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hat sich der Ska zum Rocksteady gewandelt und soll bald in den Reggae übergehen. Desmond Dekkers jüngerer Halbbruder George Dekker (* 17. Oktober 1946, auch bekannt als George Agard oder Johnny Melody), stößt zur Gruppe, so dass es sich wieder um ein Trio handelt. Sie wechseln zum Produzenten Leslie Kong und nehmen mit "Easy Come Easy Go", einen weiteren Number-One-Hit auf. 1969 folgt ihr vielleicht berühmtester Song, "Long Shot Kick De Bucket". Es handelt sich um die Fortsetzung von "Long Shot" und erzählt die Geschichte, wie das Rennpferd zusammen mit einem anderen Pferd namens Combat bei einem Wettkampf in Caymanas Park in Kingston umgekommen ist. Die Single wird auch in Großbritannien gespielt und erreicht schließlich Platz 21 der dortigen Charts.

In diesem und dem folgenden Jahr befindet sich die Gruppe auf ihrem künstlerischen Höhepunkt. Ihre Songs haben eine afrikanisch anmutende, beinahe mystische Monotonie, die sich erst viel später bei Reggae-Gruppen wie Burning Spear wieder findet. Beispiele für diesen Sound sind "Black Bud" "Simmer Down Quashi" und "Samfie Man". Ein weiterer großer Erfolg aus dieser Zeit ist "Battle of the Giants". Nach einer Tournee durch Ägypten und den Libanon ändert sich ihr Stil zu einem kommerzielleren, eher Pop-orientierten Reggae. Dieser Richtungswandel beschert ihnen ihren größten Erfolg in England, "Let Your Yeah Be Yeah". Das von Jimmy Cliff verfasste Stück erreicht Platz 5 der britischen Charts. Ihr Song "Time Hard" aus dem Jahr 1972 wird fünf Jahre später auf dem Debüt-Album der Gruppe The Selecter erscheinen und in dieser Version zu einem der frühesten Hits des "2-tone"-Ska (auch "2nd Wave of Ska" genannt) werden.

Ab 1973 verfolgt Dekker eine Karriere als Sänger und Komponist, Robinson arbeitet ebenfalls als Solo-Sänger, während Sidney Crooks sich auf die Produktion verlegt und seit den späten Achtzigern ein eigenes Studio in Luton, Bedfordshire (England) betreibt. Die Gruppe Pioneers hat sich niemals offiziell aufgelöst, die Mitglieder traten im Laufe der Jahre sporadisch immer wieder gemeinsam auf.

The way Ray Zahab makes a difference is by taking teenage explorers with him. Not talking about it. Doing it with them. Taking them past their limitations and showing them they are more powerful than they think. Having been a volunteer teacher for at risk teens in Los Angeles for a couple of years, I can tell you, this is no small gift. This is a gift that gives for a lifetime. Every teen if full of self doubt. Hell most adults still are. So if you can take them through that, to what may be the first big success in their lives… that is a thing worth doing.
So let's all send some good wishes to @RayZahab and Kevin Lin this week. Seriously. They start this weekend. Let them hear from you as they #RunGobi. It's important. Someone out there is doing something amazing. And we are all lifted by it.


When Washington Technology last went to press, war in Iraq had not yet begun. At this press time, coalition forces march toward Baghdad. Few are predicting a quick end, but we still can hope.
Second-guessing the military has begun as well, and, depending on the war's outcome, it likely will continue through the next presidential election.
But another kind of second-guessing also is set to begin. After every war and conflict, the Pentagon asks experts inside and outside the services to gather lessons learned to help guide future training, tactics and weapons development. Many of the weapons and information technology systems deployed in Iraq today were developed as a result of lessons learned during the first Persian Gulf War.
Staff Writer Patience Wait talked to industry officials and military experts to see what lessons are already emerging from the conflict, and how they will shape future Pentagon procurements of sophisticated technology. The friendly fire incidents, one analyst told her, already suggest a need for more effective systems that identify friends and foes.
The war also is confirming the increasing importance of communications, sensors and other IT systems. "The future of the battlefield," the analyst said, "is greater reliance on information management and information flow, rather than weapons."


What is Encryption? Excerpt from new thriller!
"The war against terrorism isn't being fought on a battlefield as such. It's being fought by people like me sat at computers. We need to be able to access data and convert that into information we can use to detect and hunt down terrorists….
Bill has recently retired from the corporate world and has finally fulfilled his lifelong ambition to become an author. He has written two thrillers, Revenge and Encryption, with the expectation of many more to follow.
Bill lives in Brighton, UK with his German partner and has seven daughters, a son, two horses, a dog and two cats!

Turkey Arrests Nine More in Defense Industry Espionage Case
by Burak Bekdil
https://www.meforum.org/62323/turkey-arrests-9-in-defense-industry-spy-case
Originally published under the title "Turkey Arrests Nine More Suspects in Industrial Espionage Case."
The Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) is Turkey's top defense procurement agency.
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's law enforcement authorities have widened their probe into a case involving allegations of defense industry espionage, charging more individuals in addition to dozens detained earlier.
In the new phase of the investigation, Turkish prosecutors ordered the detention of nine individuals, including two who work for the country's top procurement agency, the Presidency of Defense Industries, or SSB. The others include one retired colonel, one active colonel, one active lieutenant colonel, one active major and three private sector officials.
The suspects are accused of sharing classified commercial and industrial data with foreign agents and companies, "especially concerning Turkey's naval programs," according to a law enforcement source.
The government reported in January that it had detained six suspects in an alleged fraud scheme involving defense industry contracts. Then in March, security and intelligence forces detained 26 people during a joint operation, charging the suspects with defense industry espionage and of belonging to what the Turkish government claims is a secretive terrorist organization run by self-exiled Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen. Those detained in March are former employees of state-controlled entities.
After the first wave of detentions, Turkish officials set up a commission made up of experts from the Navy, the Defense Ministry and the chief prosecutor's office. The commission concluded that suspects forwarded classified or secret documents to foreign defense companies and their agents.
Government officials said they plan to draft new bill to authorize heavier penalties for those committing defense industry espionage. The current penalties for industrial espionage carry prison terms of up to 10 years.

Prince Harry says Royal family need unconscious bias training
Prince Harry claims Royal family need unconscious bias training if the institution is to survive
The Duke of Sussex said his relatives needed to educate themselves as he has
Harry said he wanted the royals to survive but that understanding race better
But despite eviscerating his family, Harry claimed he was 'not angry anymore'
Prince Harry says the Royal Family needs racial awareness training if it is to survive as an institution.
In the latest bombshell interview to promote his memoir – out tomorrow – the Duke of Sussex said his relatives needed to educate themselves on 'unconscious bias' – as he has.
Harry said he wanted the royals to survive but that understanding race better would be 'hugely beneficial' for them.
Speaking to US TV network ABC, Harry was asked: 'Do you think in the 21st century there's a place for the British monarchy?'
Harry answered: 'I genuinely believe there is, not the way it is now.'
Former American football player turned TV anchor Michael Strahan then asked how the royals needed to 'modernise'.
Harry said: 'I think the same process that I went through regarding my own unconscious bias would be hugely beneficial to them.
'It's not racism, but unconscious bias if not confronted, if not acknowledged, if not learned and grown from, that can then move into racism. And the way that I understand it is that we all want to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.'
The Duke of Sussex claims in his new book that he was 'knocked to the floor' by William during a row over his wife, Meghan Markle. Pictured: The brothers at the funeral procession of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II last year
Harry took aim once again at Camilla, Queen Consort, and claimed she did 'everything she could to improve her own reputation'.
But despite eviscerating his family, Harry claimed he was 'not angry anymore'.
He also grandly claimed that if he could reconcile with his family it would have a 'ripple effect across the world'.
During the interview on Good Morning America, the prince repeatedly claimed he wanted to resolve his differences with his family – so long as they admitted they were wrong.
He said: 'I don't think we can ever have peace with my family unless the truth is out there. A lot that I can forgive, but there needs to be conversations in order for reconciliation and part of that has to be accountability.

'I genuinely believe that, and that's kind of what is pushing me. And if that doesn't happen, then that's very sad.'
Turning to Camilla, who he called 'dangerous' in the memoir for leaking private conversations to the Press, Harry claimed he had a 'huge amount of compassion for her' but admitted they 'haven't spoken in a long time.
He said: 'You know I love every member of my family despite the differences, so when I see her we're perfectly pleasant with each other. She's my stepmother, I don't look at her as an evil stepmother.
'I see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to, you know, improve her own reputation and her own image. For her own sake.'
He added: 'There are things that will still anger me but I'm not angry anymore because I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.'
Mr Strahan asked Harry: 'How would your mum feel about your relationship with your brother now?'
Harry said: 'I think she'd be sad and looking at it long term to know that there were certain things we need to go through in order to heal the relationship, I think she would be heartbroken that it's ended up where it ended up.
'Heartbroken about the fact that William, his office were part of these stories and William and I made a deal, no matter what, we would never let our offices fight against each other.'
The allegations are expected to dismay the Prince of Wales, who has publicly supported mental health causes on several occasions
Those close to the palace are aghast at Harry's continued assault on his family despite his repeated claims that he wants to be reconciled with them
Mr Strahan asked: 'You think he broke that pact?'
Harry replied: 'Yes, the people he employed broke that pact.'
Asked if he had 'any responsibility in the breakdown', Harry admitted: 'Without question, sure.'
But he claimed he tried to heal things behind the scenes with his father and brother.
In a poignant part of the interview Harry revealed what he said to his brother when they visited their mother's grave in 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of her death.
Harry said: 'I talk (in the book how) at her grave, William and I (were) having that conversation, he felt as though she was very much in his life and helped set him up and he felt as though she'd now moved over and helped me set my life up.
Prince William is said to be 'seething' about the private medical information shared by his brother in the tell-all memoir
'I think my mother would realize the missed opportunity with Meghan, being part of the monarchy.'
Harry also denied there was a rift between him and the late Queen Elizabeth, saying she always 'knew what was going on'.
The claims come hot on the heels of another interview with CBS show 60 Minutes yesterday, in which Harry claimed that Camilla was 'dangerous' and 'left bodies in the street' because she leaked private conversations to the Press.
In his memoir, Harry wrote that Camilla 'sacrificed me on her personal PR altar' and that he begged his father not to marry her.
Harry paints a picture of his older brother as a manipulative influence who tried to control almost every aspect of his wedding to Meghan
Harry told CBS interviewer Anderson Cooper: 'She was the villain, she was a third person in the marriage, she needed to rehabilitate her image.'
And speaking to Tom Bradby on ITV for a 90-minute special called Harry: The Interview, a visibly emotional Harry claimed the day the Queen died he experienced a 'really horrible reaction' from his family because they were briefing against him.
According to him, the fact that Meghan was an 'American actress, divorced, bi-racial' meant that his brother and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, didn't like her from the start.
When Mr Bradby asked Harry if he agreed that the memoir was 'scathing' he physically recoiled.
We can also reveal that military veterans have called mental health services after being 'triggered' by Harry's admission that he killed 25 Taliban fighters
Harry said: 'Scathing? There's no part of any of the things that I've said are scathing toward any member of my family, especially not my stepmother. There are things that have happened that have been incredibly hurtful.'
According to Harry, speaking out was the right thing because 'silence only allows the abuser to abuse'.
The news come as Prince Harry says he called his therapist after being physically attacked by his brother William following a heated argument, according to an extraordinary excerpt from his new book.
The Duke of Sussex is set to claim in his memoir, Spare, that his older sibling left him with visible injuries after a furious row over his wife Meghan Markle, in which Harry accused him of 'parroting the press narrative' about her.
The explosive incident, during which William reportedly called the Duchess 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive' is alleged to have taken place at Harry's London home in 2019.
In one section of the book, which doesn't come out until next week, Harry claims immediately following the argument he called his therapist instead of his wife.
According to the Guardian, which claims to have obtained a copy, Meghan later noticed the 'scrapes and bruises', leading to him coming clean about the bust-up with his brother.
It is not known how the outlet got a copy of the book, given the stringent security measures put in place by its publisher to prevent leaks.
In the extract Harry claims William 'grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace and… knocked me to the floor' during an extraordinary row at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace.
He said the argument came about when William wanted to talk about 'the whole rolling catastrophe' of their relationship, arriving at the cottage 'piping hot'.
In the dramatic passage, the Duke says his brother was not acting rationally, with both men shouting over each other and exchanging insults as the argument escalated.
He said his brother ended up knocking him to the ground, leaving him with a visible injury after he landed on 'the dog's bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me'.
Harry added that his brother urged him to fight back, but left when he refused to do so, before later coming back to apologise.
The passage claims that when William left again he urged Harry not to 'tell Meg about this' and saying 'I didn't attack you, Harold'.
Harry claims he first rang his therapist, before later telling his wife who 'wasn't that surprised, and wasn't all that angry'.

Cork airport confirms transatlantic flights to boston from cork next year
September 25th, 2015 3:03 PM
By Siobhan Cronin
Cork Airport announced today that flights to Boston will start next year
Cork Airport has today issued the following press released regarding the announcement of transatlantic flights from next May, to Boston, and to New York from 2017.
'Cork Airport has warmly welcomed today's decision by Norwegian to launch Cork's first ever scheduled transatlantic services.
Norwegian has announced today that it plans to operate a direct Cork-Boston service from next May and that it also intends to launch a new Cork-New York service in 2017. A Cork-Barcelona service is also planned from May 2016.
The new routes will be operated under Norwegian's Irish subsidiary Norwegian Air International (NAI) and form part of the airline's plans for continued expansion in the UK and Ireland.
'Cork Airport has long sought a service to the United States and we are thrilled that our customers will be able to fly direct from Cork to Boston next year, and that we'll have flights to New York in 2017,' said Cork Airport managing director Niall MacCarthy.
'The addition of direct year-round connectivity to North America has long been a target for Cork Airport, which has a robust business hinterland with a large cluster of US multinationals and a fantastic tourism product. This is great news for both Cork Airport and the region and is a major strategic boost for both business and tourism.'
Norwegian CEO Bjorn Kjos said: 'Norwegian is leading the way in offering affordable transatlantic travel and with the new generation aircraft we have on order, we now have exciting plans to offer low-cost flights from Cork to Boston in 2016 and Cork to New York in 2017.
'We are delighted to offer a long-awaited service from the US to Cork and the southern parts of Ireland which will create huge business, leisure and tourism opportunities. Our new Cork to Barcelona route is also an exciting addition to our growing network.
'This is only the beginning of our plans for new routes in Ireland but our expansion relies on the US Department of Transportation (DoT) finally approving Norwegian Air International's application for a foreign carrier permit. Only DoT approval for NAI will unlock the door for these exciting new routes, creating more competition, more choice and better fares for business and leisure passengers on both sides of the Atlantic.'
The new short and long-haul routes announced today comprise:
- A Cork to Boston service planned for May 2016 with 4-5 flights per week
- A Cork to New York service planned for 2017
- A Cork to Barcelona service planned from May 2016 with 4-5 flights per week
with Norwegian, which is Europe's third largest low-cost airline, is currently in talks with the US Department of Transportation about Norwegian Air International's application for a foreign carrier permit which would open the way for further expansion and new routes.
The airline plans to operate its new Cork transatlantic services with a narrow bodied Boeing 737-800 aircraft and the new Boeing 737MAX when it becomes available.
Winning new business for Cork Airport is always a team effort, according to Mr MacCarthy. 'I would like to thank our regional stakeholders in the political, business and tourism spheres who have been working really closely with us over the last year to ensure Cork Airport returns to strong growth in 2016 and contributes as a catalyst for continued economic recovery throughout the region.'
News of Cork's new transatlantic services comes in the wake of several other positive route announcements from Cork Airport in recent weeks. CityJet will launch a new 18 times per week service to London City Airport on October 1 and Aer Lingus will launch a new Cork-Dusseldorf route next summer. Aer Lingus has also increased frequency on its Cork Tenerife route for this winter and Flybe has doubled capacity on its new Cardiff service.
'Cork Airport has been successful in winning new routes and additional flights in recent weeks and it's essential that all of these new services – and indeed all of our existing routes – are well supported in the region. We are continuing to seek out new opportunities with new and existing airline customers and we are confident of further passenger growth after 2016,' Mr MacCarthy said.
Norwegian, which was established in 1993, welcomed 24 million passengers in 2014. Last year it launched the UK's only low-cost long haul flights with routes from London Gatwick to four US destinations.
The airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world, with an average age of just four years. Norwegian currently operates a fleet of 100 aircraft and has orders for a further 250 new aircraft, including 100 new Boeing 737MAX aircraft.
Cork Airport is the international gateway to the south of Ireland and is uniquely positioned at the start of the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland's Ancient East.
It is the country's second largest and second busiest airport after Dublin with more choice than any other airport outside Dublin. More than 2 million passengers travel through Cork Airport each year, flying to key destinations across the UK and throughout continental Europe. Cork Airport's customer service, as voted by passengers, has won national and international awards.
Last week, Cork Airport was highly commended for its aviation marketing activity at the prestigious World Routes event in Durban. Cork Airport was deemed to be one of the three best airports in the world for marketing in its category, as voted by airlines.
