LESSON 7: Small teams = big ideas
By Finn McKentyJanuary 18, 2016 No Comments
Every few years, a new movement comes along that ends up being a "sea change," completely changing the face of youth culture forever. They always start small, as a few kids going against the grain because they see the world a little differently than everyone else. Then before you know it, these little pockets of cultural rebellion snowball into global phenomena that leave their fingerprint on a whole generation. And while they might seem like giant movements from the outside, if you look deeper you'll see that they were really driven by no more than a handful of key people.
Exhibit A: LA graffiti
The Los Angeles graffiti style, once found exclusively in Southern California, is now found on walls all over the world, on clothing, album covers, and packaging in on the shelves of malls everywhere, and corporate giants like Nike are doing collaborations with street legends like BIG SLEEPS. While there are thousands of artists and brands now repping that aesthetic on a global scale, it was pioneered by no more than a couple dozen people.
Top: Xbox game Sunset Overdrive's logo (right) is essentially a mall-friendly version of a REVOK tag (left). Bottom: Mike Giant's brand Rebel 8 (right) put the LA-style letters of guys like BIG SLEEPS (left) into Zumiez and Pacsun stores across the country
Crews like AWR, MSK, TKO, CBS, LTS and KOG created the LA graffiti aesthetic as we know it today, putting in work on the streets for decades before the magazines, galleries and filmmakers finally started paying attention. TOOMER, SABER and REVOK are the "big three" who got the majority of media attention (thanks to films like "War 4," "Infamy" and "Piece By Piece"), and those who have dug deeper into the LA graffiti scene will also know names like AYER, NORM, ZES, RETNA, DEFER, REYES, HAEL, and FATE. There are dozens of of other people in those crews who all deserve credit and respect, but it was this small group of especially prolific, innovative guys who really pushed the medium forward on a global scale.

Awesome profile on the key players in the Syracuse scene that aired on CNN back in 1995 or so
Exhibit B: Syracuse hardcore
Believe it or not, the college town of Syracuse, NY was the mecca of 90s hardcore. The kids up in Syracuse created the blueprint for that whole generation of hardcore, with countless bands and kids carbon-copying the look, sound, and lifestyle that Syracuse created. To this day, you can find kids all over the globe— Poland, Italy, Japan, etc— who take their cues from the 90s Syracuse scene and wouldn't look at all out of place in a picture of a One King Down show from 1997.
At the time, we all thought of the Syracuse scene as this massive thing, like that one scene in Lord Of The Rings where it shows the vast hordes of Mordor, only full of vegan straightedge hardcore kids instead of orcs and Karl Beuchner instead of Sauron. But in hindsight it wasn't much bigger than any other regional hardcore scene. There was really only one big band (Earth Crisis), a couple small venues, and one t-shirt company (Cabal). But that relatively small crew of people built something with a global impact through passion, hustle and dedication.
What business can learn from this
In the same way as a handful of LA graffiti writers and Syracuse hardcore kids created these global movements, businesses don't need a lot of people to bring big ideas to life– they just need the RIGHT people. A handful of smart, dedicated people with an unstoppable work ethic is all you need to start a movement or a great business. In fact, in many/most situations I think a small team is actually BETTER than a big one.
In my experience, adding additional people to a team reaches the point of diminishing marginal utility pretty quickly. In other words, adding 1 or 2 people to a team is awesome because you guys can share the work, each focusing on the thing you're best at. But add another person and another person and it quickly starts to slow the pace. More opinions means that decisions start to get made by committee, and the creativity gets watered down to "lowest common denominator."
Many years ago I remember the founder of some rapidly-growing agency (I think it was Psyop?) saying "How big can we get before we start to suck?" This dynamic is exactly what he was talking about.
With that in mind, I have two specific pieces of advice for applying this to business:
If you want fresh new ideas, keep the team SMALL. Do not assume that bigger is better, because it probably isn't. Obviously there are no hard and fast rules here because every project is different, but as a rule of thumb I think 2-5 people is a good guideline. If you pick the right people, that's a big enough crew to do pretty amazing things. If some kids from Syracuse can transform the hardcore scene on a global scale, you don't need more than 5 people to come up with a new product idea.
Resist the urge to scale up the team. That should be a last resort, because you'll reach the point on the graph above where the work starts to get shittier more quickly than you think. See if there are other ways to help the team besides increasing headcount: getting them better equipment, outsourcing the shitwork to contractors, etc. When you do eventually need to scale up the team, be EXTREMELY careful about who you bring into the fold because it's way harder to fire people than to hire them. LISTEN TO THE TEAM on this, like how a graffiti crew has to approve a new member.
Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a time and place for big teams, especially in situations where it's a mature business with a machine that essentially "runs itself" like a giant consumer goods brand or something. But when it comes to groundbreaking new ideas that will transform an industry, I'll take a small, tightly knit team of passionate maniacs every time.

Shell Script Parameters
Home » Software Development » Software Development Tutorials » Shell Scripting Tutorial » Shell Script Parameters
Introduction to Shell Script Parameters
Shell Spscript parameters are the entities that are used to store variables in Shell. Among these parameters, the named spaces are there in the memory and they permit us to access these stored variables. Generally, there are two types of parameters. They are called variables and special parameters. A parameter can be an argument or a variable can be called as a parameter even though it is not used as part of a command argument. Special parameters are pre-set by the shell and these parameters are read-only. The variables are managed by the shell or by the users.
Why do we need Shell Script Parameters?
To add additional features to the command while working with shell script can be achieved by using parameters i.e. by the help of command-line options along with the arguments. Parameters are used to help in choosing options from the command line. For example, we can use the parameters to have an interactive command line to display a particular file name and can perform operations such as overriding it or just simply to check if the file exists or not. Also, we can read the content of a shell script by the use of positional parameters.
All Shell Script Parameters with Examples
Below are the parameters used in a shell script.
Variables: The variables which are a type of parameter are generally managed by the users or the system. We can take an example of $var which is a variable parameter. The system sets $var, but this variable parameter can be written by the user. So it's not read-only, like the special parameters.
Special Parameters: The special parameters are read-only which are maintained by the shell. The special parameters are with a predefined meaning. Below are the various special parameters:
Parameters Description
$# It parameter represents the total number of arguments passed to the script.
$0 This parameter represents the script name.
$n This parameter represents the arguments corresponding to a script when a script is invoked such $1 $2…etc. $1, $2…etc are called positional parameters.
$* This parameter describes the positional parameters to be distinct by space. For example, if there are two arguments passed to the script, this parameter will describe them as $1 $2.
$$ This parameter represents the process ID of a shell in which the execution is taking place.
$! This parameter represents the process number of the background that was executed last.
$@ This parameter is similar to the parameter $*.
$? This parameter represents exit status of the last command that was executed. Here 0 represents success and 1 represents failure.
$_ This parameter represents the command which is being executed previously.
$- This parameter will print the current options flags where the set command can be used to modify the options flags.
Examples of a few special parameters as shown below:
$ cat program.sh
echo "The File Name is: $0"
echo "The First argument is: $1"
echo "The Second argument is: $2"
$ sh program.sh ab cd
The File Name: program.sh
The First argument is: ab
The Second argument is: cd
Advantage of Shell Script Parameters
One of the main advantages of using the parameters is that while passing the arguments to the function or a script, the code can be reused again and again. Here we do not need to open the script and the arguments can be passed by simply writing them after the script name with a space separating the arguments and the parameters can be used by the number of positions by $. Also with the usage of the parameters, the command line arguments can be used by shifting the position of the arguments. The advantage of passing the arguments improves security as there is no need for parsing the environment variables. Also, it adds flexibility where many shell interpreters can be used.
Rules and Regulation for Shell Script Parameters
Special parameters are used to deliver information to programs by specifying the arguments in the command line. $n can be described by one or more digits, such as $1, $2, $3…., where $1, $2, $3 etc are the arguments to the command. The positional parameters are generally passed along with the command when it is invoked. But the parameter must be enclosed within {} where the parameter consists of more than 1 digit.
The reading of a variable is called parameter expansion. It can be described as below:
$ var=apple
$ echo "The variable is $var"
The default values can be provided for variables by using brackets or test commands. If a parameter which is not declared having a null value, then we need to use the default value. Also, parameters are checked to see if they represent specific words or directories or file names etc.
The double quotes are used to treat most of the special characters as letters.
$ echo "var$var"
$ echo $var"abcd"
The above command will show the below result
$ varapple
$ appleabcd
To read $ as a normal character, we need to use a single quote as below.

$ echo 'var$var'
$ var$var
In order to perform arithmetic operations, we need to use $(( )) as below.
$ a=5
$echo 5+9 $a+9
$echo $((5+9))
$echo $(($a+9))
The result of $echo 5+9 $a+9 is 5+9 5+9. But the result of $echo $((5+9)) and $echo $(($a+9)) is 14.
The shell script parameters help in performing effective and flexible scripting with many added features. Such features are parameter expansion; advanced tests along with double square brackets which can be used as pattern matching. Also, parameter manipulation and arithmetic operations can be done very easily.

Q: In (applied and pure) math study, do we only discuss and need material equivalence, not logical equivalence? I am a mathematics major student and interested in logic. I have some questions, in math(both pure and applied aspects) study and research, do we clearly distinguish between logical equivalence and material equivalence as what we do in the pure logic study, or do we only discuss and require material equivalence (and roughly think that the two equivalences are the same meaning), because I find that in my daily math study we only discuss and require the material equivalence while ignoring logical equivalence. I want to know the answer and why, I am very grateful!

A: Two observations from the propositional perspective:

*

*If $A$ and $B$ are already established propositions and their connection is already well understood, one usually does not have to view this as a deduction each time, $A\vdash B$, and may carry on with material implication $A\rightarrow B$ instead.

*More generally, the deduction theorem allows one to pass from one view of matters to another (from the logical point of view):
$$\Gamma,A\vdash B\Longleftrightarrow\Gamma\vdash A\rightarrow B$$
The same goes for material equivalence, $\leftrightarrow$, and logical equivalence, $\dashv\vdash$.
It should be remarked that logic is not a description of working mathematicians' cognitive processes, nor of communicative practices. Such logical distinctions exhibit themselves when mathematical arguments are needed on some purpose to be regimented and rearranged into a logical form.

New Delhi, 8 October President Pratibha Patil today released a set of four stamps depicting the progress of the Indian Air Force to mark the Platinum jubilee year of the force.
Other aircraft to be pictured in the colourful series of stamps released by the country's Supreme Commander were on the IL-78 mid-air refuellers and the indigenous advance light helicopter "Dhruv".
The stamps were released at a reception held at Air House hosted by the air force chief Fali Homi Major. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Cabinet Ministers, Chiefs of Army and Navy and diplomats attended the reception.
On the occasion, a photo exhibition featuring the past, present and the future of the Indian Air Force, was also held.
The grand finale of the function was the scintillating display of formation aerobatics by the renowned 'Surya Kiran´ team of nine aircrafts. It included take off in Vic formations of three aircraft in front of the spectators, followed by a breathtaking display of synchronized low-level manoeuvring in close formation.
The celebration today was also attended by Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Suresh Mehta, Chief of the Army Staff General Deepak Kapoor and many other former IAF Chiefs including other distinguished guests.
Changing global security concerns required rapid modernisation of the country's air power and plans are afoot to ensure IAF became one of the foremost air forces in the world, Air Force Chief Fali Homi Major said here today.
Though IAF currently is seeing force levels down to an all time low of 32 fighter squadrons, plans had been initiated to ensure that within next five years, the force became one the foremost air forces at global levels, Major said as his force bared its flying might to mark its 75th Platinum Jubilee year here.
He said the IAF modernisation programmes including induction of new Multi Role Combat aircraft, Airborne Early Warning Aircraft, armed UAVs and revamping its entire arsenal of ground to air missiles were "on course".
For the first time, audiences in India got to witness a near heart stopping cross-over by two supersonic SU-30 MKI on the occasion. Though crowds have seen aerobatics by world famous flying troupes like the Red Arrows, this was the first time that such an event was done live by supersonic jets.
Besides, the Sukhoi, IAF showcased its entire range of fighters including Mirages, Mig-29's, upgraded Mig-21's, Mig-23's and deep penetration strike aircraft Jaguars at this airbase, which saw fighter flying after a gap of 10 years.


High-tech medical scanners are being used on sheep to improve the quality of meat they produce, scientists said today.
The CT scanner, usually used to diagnose human ailments in hospitals, has been brought in to help farmers breed better quality flocks.
The test involves strapping a sedated sheep to a gurney, complete with a cushion to rest its head on, before passing it through the doughnut-shaped machine.
Scientists from Nottingham University scanned a well-bred Charollais lamb in a mobile medical unit at a farm in a bid to find out what makes it such a fine specimen.
A cross-section of the animal appeared on the radiologist's monitor, which showed its fat, muscle and bone content.
Farmers want to breed sheep which have less fat and more muscle in order to improve the quality of meat available in supermarkets and at butchers.
Dr Kevin Sinclair, a professor in developmental biology at the university, told the BBC: 'One argument for lamb becoming less popular as a meat is because people complain about it being too fatty.
The technique was initially developed by academics at the Scottish Agricultural College in Edinburgh and is now being used by scientists in Nottingham.
It is understood the technology has already improved the yield of some flocks.
A CT scanner is painless and works by taking a series of X-rays from different angles. It then uses a computer to put them together and build up a detailed picture of the inside of the body whether it be human, or, as in this case, ovine (lamb).

Release Date: Thursday, December 25, 2008
The opening credits include an overhead view of several cats walking around, while The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) stands nearby. A cat follows him into another room and then jumps up on a nearby scratching post. This sequence was filmed in separate shots. For the first part of the sequence, trainers placed several cats on the ground, where food had been scattered, and then stood just off-camera. The cameraman stood on a platform to shoot the scene. Trainers retrieved the cats, then a trainer placed the cat that follows The Spirit on its mark, stood by the scratching post and called it to come.
In a few scenes, a cat walks on a brick wall as The Spirit walks alongside it. The wall was a custom-built platform secured to the ground. The scene was filmed against a green screen. The cat is also shown on top of a tombstone in a cemetery as snow falls. It jumps down and runs through the cemetery. The tombstone was also a special platform on which the cat was placed and cued to stay. A trainer then stood off-camera and used a bait stick with a treat on the end of it to get the cat to walk or look in various directions. A trainer released the cat on its mark as another trainer called for it to run. The cemetery surroundings and snow were added in post-production.
A cat sits on a garbage can in an alley as The Spirit fights with a man who shoots at him. The cat was placed on a platform and filmed separately from the men and gunfire. As The Spirit goes into the river, the cat stands on the dock and looks down at the water as if it is considering jumping in after him (which it does not). A helicopter flies overhead looking for The Spirit. Again the cat was on a platform, and the water and helicopter were added in post-production.
A cat sits in a cage on a table. A woman removes the cat from the cage and carries it near The Spirit and The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), who squirts poison from a syringe into a cup of liquid. The woman places the cat near the cup and it drinks. She sets the cat in a small sink and the cat disintegrates — all that remains are two eyeballs. The eyeballs were fake and the cat disintegrating was computer-generated. The liquid in the cup was water and the syringe was a prop. The actors were instructed on the handling of the cat before filming.
In the dark, The Spirit shines a flashlight on the ground and sees a frog sitting there. The frog was placed on its mark in front of a green screen. The flashlight was briefly aimed at the frog, who was unfazed by the light. The surrounding woods and water were added in post-production.
As The Octopus watches a foot with a face on it hop around on the table, a strange cage next to him holds a white mouse, which sometimes crawls around in the cage during the scene. The cage was custom-made and created under the animal trainer's supervision, and the mouse was given time to become familiar with the cage before filming so it would be comfortable during the scene.
As a girl rides a skateboard, she passes a dog being walked on a leash. For this brief scene, a trainer handed the dog to the actor right before filming began, and the well-rehearsed actress on the skateboard was careful about where she moved.

Well into a highly successful first season, Walker West Music Academy's Eight O'Clock Jump concert series continues this weekend with the Atlantis Quartet, on Friday, April 15 (8 pm). The Atlantis Quartet–with Zacc Harris, Brandon Wozniak, Chris Bates and Pete Hennig–is highly regarded as one of the leading ensembles on the Twin Cities modern jazz scene, named "Best Jazz Artist" of 2011 by City Pages and recipient of a 2015 McKnight Artists Grant.
Describing themselves as on a mission to "create and explore fresh and original sounds on the modern edges of the jazz idiom," the Atlantis Quartet came together in 2006. They have since released four savvy recordings (Again Too Soon in 2007, Animal Progress in 2009, Lines in the Sand in 2011, and Expansion in 2013), with another due for release in 2016. The band has explored Coltrane's Love Supreme, Hancock's Head Hunters and Lead Zepplin's House of the Wholly in a series of Halloween gigs. Despite the musicians' busy schedules with other projects, the quartet appears frequently at Studio Z, Icehouse, Jazz Central, the Black Dog, Vieux Carré and other venues throughout the area, as well as on tour. They made their Jazz Showcase debut in Chicago in late 2014 and performed at the Iowa City Jazz Festival in July 2015. The band took a break last fall and now returns with more original works.

Guitarist Zacc Harris is a California native who came to Minneapolis about nine years ago from Illinois, where he graduated from Southern Illinois University. Here he formed the Luminessence Trio (now Zacc Harris Trio), continuing weekly gigs at the Riverview Wine Bar. In addition to Atlantis, Zaac also leads his Quartet, Vital Organ, the Zacc Harris Group, and American Reverie trio; performs with Dean Granros' Tall Tales, Adam Meckler Quintet and Babatunde Lea Quartet; is a founding producer at Shifting Paradigms Records; and teaches private guitar lessons. He's also curated the Jazz at Studio Z series for four seasons. This winter, Zacc performed in the U.K., including a gig at the famed Ronnie Scott's in London.

Saxman Brandon Wozniak previously lived and worked in New York City, toured with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and earned his BA from Indiana University under the tutelage of the late David Baker. Since arriving in the Twin Cities in 2006, he has performed with local bands including Red Five, Dave King Trucking Company, the Bryan Nichols Quintet, Zacc Harris Quartet, and Vector Families; and in varying combinations with Adam Linz, Billy Peterson, Dean Magraw, Kenny Horst, Zacc Harris, Steve Kenny and more. Over its first two seasons, Brandon has performed on the Jazz in the Target Atrium Series at Orchestra Hall as part of the Atrium Jazz Ensemble, led by Jeremy Walker
Chris Bates, © Andrea Canter
Bassist Chris Bates is familiar to Twin Cities audiences through his associations with Red Planet, Volcano Insurance, Framework, A Love Electric, How Birds Work, Tall Tales, Bill Simenson Orchestra, Adam Meckler Orchestra, and many other cutting edge ensembles in addition to Atlantis. In the past few years has stepped out front as leader of the Good Vibes Trio and his quintet, Red Five, both of which released debut albums in the past two years. He recently revived another vibes trio, Low Blows, launched a trio with Joe Strachan and Ted Olsen, and curates a monthly improvisation series at Jazz Central, one Wednesday night per month. Chris studied at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire and later with Anthony Cox, was an original member of the Motion Poets, and a 1999 McKnight Composer Fellow. He was one of four jazz artists to be awarded a composition commission from Zeitgeist, which was premiered at the 2014 Twin Cities Jazz Festival.
Pete Hennig, © Andrea Canter
Drummer Pete Hennig came to the Twin Cities to study at McNally Smith. After graduating he spent an additional three years studying with Dave King (Bad Plus, Happy Apple). His performance credits include Zacc Harris, Debbie Duncan, Katie Gearty, Sam Kuusisto, Tickle Fight, Patrick Harrison, Johnny Clueless, Park Evans, Monk in Motian, and the Fantastic Merlins, and he leads his own bluegrass band (Bluegrass Bandits).
Walker West Music Academy hosts 8 0'Clock Jump concerts monthly in their performance space at 760 Selby Ave, St. Paul; www.walkerwest.org. Tickets for the Atlantis Quartet available at the website or –if not sold out–at the door.

Produces high yields of delicious, top quality, stringless, fleshy pods. Shows resistance to Bean Common Mosaic Virus. Harvest from July.
Crops 12-16 weeks from sowing. Tasty, nutritious and easy to grow! Try varieties with different flower colours for a 'wall of colour'. Recent research suggests that evening watering of the roots increases pod set and subsequent cropping. Sow under cover in April for early crops, planting out in late May. For early crops sown outdoors, protect with fleece or cloches to warm the soil and protect the young plants. For tall types in rows, sow outside 5–7.5cm (2–3") deep, spacing seeds 15cm (6") apart in double rows 45cm (18") apart. Allow a further 1.5m (5') between double rows. (Alternatively if space is limited, sow in circles and grow up canes in a 'wigwam' format.) Insert long cane supports or netting soon after germination/planting. Plants will reach a height of 1.8–2.1m (6–7').
Ideal for beds and borders. HEALTH BENEFITS: Good levels of vitamin C, folate and iron together with fibre. CULINARY TIPS: Steam or boil for less than 3 minutes to preserve vitamins. Many varieties ideal for freezing.

Faced with a staggering projected surge in the number of Latinos living with Alzheimers, advocacy organizations announced the launch of a coalition Tuesday to combat the disease. LatinosAgainstAlzheimers, made up of four national organizations, aims to educate politicians, healthcare workers, and the general public on how to stem the rate of Alzheimers in the Latino community. The Latino community is expected to be disproportionately affected by the disease.
Advocacy organizations announced the creation of a coalition that would tackle an expected increase in Alzheimer's cases affecting Latinos in the coming decades.
A 2007 analysis predicted that the number of older Latinos suffering from Alzheimer's and related dementias could increase by more than 600% by 2050.
The coalition also formed an honorary congressional committee chaired by Sen. Robert Menendez whose mother died in 2009 after a long battle with Alzheimers disease.

BAE batteries have been used in the Telecommunications, Power Generation/Utilities and Solar markets in Thailand for over 15 years now and can display an impressive track-record since then.
The 4-day event has been very successful, with many local and international visitors and potential partners flocked to the booth of BAE with questions and enquiries. The next edition of Renewable Energy Asia (REA) will be held in June 2019. We look forward to meeting you (again) there.


prefiguring the world while simultaneously creating it.
Rather than reproducing the logic of the traditional "sit-in," these occupations quickly turned to the construction of miniature models of the society that the movement wanted to create—prefiguring the world while simultaneously creating it. The territory occupied was geographic, but only so as to open other ways of doing and being together.
This phase is characterized by the gradual shift from a focus on acts of protest (which nonetheless continue to have a crucial role, as we must confront this system that creates crisis) to instituting the type of change that the movements actually want to see happen in society as a whole. The capacity to create solutions grows as the movements expand in all directions, first through the appearance of multiple occupations connected among themselves, and then through the creation of—or collaboration with—groups or networks that are able to solve problems on a local level through cooperation and the sharing of skills and resources.
In the case of Spain, this expansion began in June, when the movement decided to focus its energy more on the assemblies and the working groups than on maintaining the encampments themselves. To maintain the miniature models of a society that the movement wished to create did not necessarily contribute to the actual changes that were needed in the populations that needed them the most.
while the indignado movement no longer has encampments, its presence is felt everywhere. It's a culture now, composed of thousands of micro-institutions that provide solutions through the common efforts of people affected by the same problems. There are cooperatives addressing work, housing, energy, education, finance, and nutrition, and many other things, as well as a web of collaboration that connects these cooperatives. Catalunya and Madrid already have "Integral Cooperatives" whose function is to coordinate the different services offered by various cooperatives within a particular locale, to the point that in some places in Spain it is almost possible to live without having to depend on the resources hoarded by the one percent. The movement has made it possible for these institutions, which used to be dispersed and limited, to grow and grow connected, and it has provided them with a visibility that has led to much more interest, respect, and support for their functions.

Former Oklahoma State RB Tyreek Hill won't face child abuse charges
The DA says there wasn't conclusive evidence to prove who committed a crime.

Johnson County Kansas District Attorney Steve Howe has declined to file charges against former Oklahoma State running back/kick returner and current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill and Crystal Espinal, whom is engaged to Hill, in an ongoing investigation for alleged child abuse.
Howe said Wednesday that his office does believe a crime occurred, but there wasn't conclusive evidence to prove who committed it.
Hill was under investigation for two incidents of suspected child abuse after Overland Park (Kan.) Police were called to his home March 15 for an alleged battery involving their 3-year-old son that reportedly resulted in a broken arm.
In December 2014, Hill was dismissed from the OSU football and track programs for a domestic assault and battery by strangulation incident involving Espinal. He pleaded guilty to charges and received three years probation. The charges were taken off his record in August 2018 after he completed probation. The couple has reconciled.
Hill compiled more than 1,800 all-purpose yards in 12 games for OSU during the 2014 season, and was named the Big 12's Newcomer of the Year. He finished his collegiate career at the University of West Alabama.

Q: Popping stack doesn't work right? (Stack from two queues) I've been stewing over this one for a while, and I can't quite seem to figure out why at execution, when once the following function executes, and the test code in main calls to see if the stack is empty, for some reason it isn't. I can't seem to figure out the exact cause, though I have a feeling it has something to do with the "remove" function not deleting the last node, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to fix it.
TYPE listStackPop (struct Stack* stack)
{
    /* FIXME: You will write this function */
    assert (stack != NULL);
    assert (!listQueueIsEmpty (stack->q1));
    return listQueueRemoveFront (stack->q1);
}

---later calls to listQueueRemoveFront---

TYPE listQueueRemoveFront (struct Queue* queue)
{
    /* FIXME: You will write this function */
    assert (queue != 0);
    assert (!listQueueIsEmpty (queue));
    struct Link* toDelete;
    toDelete = queue->head->next;
    if (toDelete == queue->tail) {
        queue->tail = queue->head;
    }
    else {
        queue->head->next = toDelete->next;
    }
    int retVal = toDelete->value;
    return retVal;
}

--For clarity, TYPE is defined as int--

I've tried going from simply return toDelete->value to copying toDelete's value to an int, and passing that int to be returned, as I thought maybe toDelete was being removed prematurely or something, but that isn't the case.
Unfortunately, google doesn't really have much info on this either. So far anyway.
Here is the full code on pastebin, in case anyone is interested to read it in full: https://pastebin.com/cDvdHmTu
I had expected it to pass, but for some reason, it failed even though all the other test cases passed.

Vincent Miranda is an interdisciplinary artist from South Florida, living and working in San Francisco, California.
Coming from down south, you notice its got a different vibe; that southern drawl. There's this mood that pervades Southern hip-hop; this lethargic, slow moving, sedated feeling. From this culture, Miranda questions the allure of pharmaceuticals like Actavis' promethazine w/ codeine, the drink Lean, and the influence it has in pushing the music to match its effects. Interested in the sonic and affective terrain of Lean in contemporary Southern hiphop, he explores how a substance is utilized to counter the realities of marginalized individuals.
This feeling permeates into the work as well. When you enter the space, you're presented with lackadaisical hanging silicone skins, walls that seem to be sagging or melting, and pedestals tipped at drastic angles: everything is Leaning. The space lends itself to an understanding of that Act, that need for self-medication, that Lean; the space is sympathetic to that sluggish feeling going on. Not totally having a hand on the gravity of the space while not being able to explain the perception at play.
Miranda also explores this idea of the "come up" prevalent throughout Southern hip-hop; the need to present yourself as having made it, having come up out of where you came from. He is curious how this resonates in objects and gives certain symbols power; curious of the manner in which these symbols are displayed or presented. Many times, jewelry is used to represent having come up out of certain socioeconomic conditions. In Southern hip-hop especially, jewelry is often referred to as ice, water, or glass. Conceiving a literal representation, he uses these terms as material means to present the skins of the gestures they'd typically be displayed on.


This is the ultimate "Howzat Appeal for Life for Lewis" !
Absolutely amazing amount raised for Lewis' appeal. Thank you to every single umpire who donated their first match fee of the season to Lewis appeal, it is so incredibly kind and generous of you all and it is so appreciated by us all.
A special mention to Graham Abbott who's great idea it was, and who liaised with all the other umpires. Thanks also to the Northants lads for taking time out to have a picture with us, cheers guys it meant a lot. Suppose I better not question a decision this season then!!

Trump must be impeached and removed for commuting Roger Stone's sentence. Here's why the ule of law demands it /
Trump must be impeached and removed for commuting Roger Stone's sentence. Here's why the ule of law demands it
Image via Fox News.
Ian Reifowitz
It's very simple: By commuting Roger Stone's sentence, The Man Who Lost The Popular Vote has sent a clear signal that anyone who does something illegal on his behalf, or who has knowledge of something illegal he has done and lies about it under oath, and/or to investigators, will never be punished. This an act that fatally weakens the constitutionally mandated checks and balances through which our democracy prevents a president from achieving dictatorial power.
Investigations cannot proceed toward any sort of justice if no one is required to tell the truth. That much should be apparent to any reasonable, objective observer, no matter their party. This president has now created a shield around himself so that he can—so long as he simply maintains the loyalty of his minions—do literally anything he wants and remain free of accountability or punishment. That cannot be allowed to stand. Our system offers but one remedy.
Thus far, only a single Republican office-holder of note has spoken out about Trump's attack on the rule of law. All other Republicans must take a stand—either for the would-be Tyrant from Trump Tower, or for American constitutional democracy. There is no in-between.
Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of… https://t.co/lQQ9HcSVj9
— Mitt Romney (@Mitt Romney)1594472762.0
We know the reasons we will hear from those who counsel against impeachment and removal: "but the election….." You know what? Fuck that. This is about standing up for our Constitution. And not just the Second Amendment.
For far too long, Trump and Republican leaders in Congress, and in the states, have acted in ways that are technically within their rights (does Merrick Garland ring a bell?), but which violate fundamental constitutional norms. Commuting Roger Stone, however, goes far beyond violating norms. Even Richard Nixon didn't pull anything like this. Trump's corrupt actions represent a blatant attempt to destroy our democracy, and the only way to stop him is for Congress to take the one power the Constitution provides to rein in such a president.
Congress must impeach and remove Donald Trump. Now.

The Golden Age of Sail will be celebrated in song when the Mystic Seaport Museum hosts the 39th International Sea Music Festival Thursday through Sunday, June 7-10.
Billed as the "premier sea music event in North America," festivities will include daytime and evening concerts, special performances for children, instructional workshops, a scholars' symposium and "a unique opportunity to witness sea music at work aboard the Museum's historic ships."
This year's highlights include the music of Matthew Byrne; from Newfoundland; The Vox Hunters, from Rhode Island; FUNI, from Iceland; Dan Zanes, from New York City; Walter Askew, from California; the group 3 Ravens, from Massachusetts; and the English and Irish duo of Jim Mageean & Pat Sheridan. They will be joined by the Mystic Seaport Chantey Staff, including Geoff Kaufman, Craig Edwards, Denise Kegler and Don Sineti.
For children, Grammy Award-winner Zanes will perform with Claudia Eliaza on an expanded Family Stage. On Sunday, Zanes and Eliaza will be joined by Mary Anne Roberts of Rokus Korus for a special workshop on "Haiti and the Sea."
The festival also will feature four workshops of "Chanteys at Work" on the ships Charles W. Morgan, Joseph Conrad and L.A. Dunton. "In these workshops, festival musicians join with museum chantey staff to lead visitors in setting sail, lifting cargo, weighing anchor, and other shipboard tasks."

Tinashe's Unreleased Song 'Secret' Leaks Online

R&B sensation Tinashe is not resting on her laurels as she continues to put the finishing touches on her upcoming sophomore album, Joyride. Unfortunately, an unreleased song called "Secret" leaked online much to the songbird's chagrin.
Produced DJ Mustard, who also blessed Tinashe with her smash single, "2 On," the ballad may be even more indelible than her current signature outing that has crossover hit written all over.
Singing "In the bed on a Wednesday, next to my baby, hoping that it ain't you calling / Cause I don't wanna explain why there's an next-man calling me at four in the morning / I can tell you're a friend but baby then again, we doing a little more than talking / Since the day that I met ya', didn't wanna like ya', can't believe how much I've fallen'," Tinashe wastes little time grabbing the listeners ear and commandeers the track within seconds of you pressing play.
"Keep it inside, I swear from the beginning that I tried / Can't decide, I never act this way, got too much pride" Tinashe purrs while fighting against her urges to spill the beans about her forbidding love. Centered around the 22-year-old singer's being caught between a rock and a hard place after unexpectedly catching feelings for a guy while already being committed to someone else, "Secret" sees Tinashe hitting on all cylinders and sounding like the star many critics projected her to be early on.
Lines like "This little secret, we've gotta keep it / W'eve got a lot to lose, we've got a lot to lose" are innocent, yet suggestive enough to hit home with anyone juggling various romances. Being naughty never sounded so nice.
Although the song will not be on Tinashe's Joyride album, she did express concern over the leak on her Twitter account. Read her tweets below.

As a New Year begins in Bath, Ben Brace proposes to his long-term girlfriend, Caroline, the daughter of notorious crime baron, Joe Irving, who is coming to the end of a prison sentence. The problem is that Ben's father, George, is the Deputy Chief Constable. A more uncomfortable set of in-laws would be hard to imagine. But mothers and sons are a formidable force: a wedding in the Abbey and reception in the Roman Baths are arranged before the career-obsessed DCC can step in.
Peter Diamond, Bath's head of CID, is appalled to be put in charge of security on the day. Ordered to be discreet, he packs a gun and a guest list in his best suit and must somehow cope with potential killers, gang rivals, warring parents, bossy photographers and straying bridesmaids. The laid-back Joe Irving seems oblivious to the danger he is in from rival gang leaders while Brace can't wait for the day to end. Will the photo session be a literal shoot? Will Joe Irving's speech as father of the bride be his last words? Can Diamond pull off a miracle, avert a tragedy and send the happy couple on their honeymoon?

Q: Multiple bootstrap modals in a page I made a bootstrap modal - it's working fine. But when I want to use a modal somewhere else in my site it overwrites the other modal.
Which part of the code do I need to change? And do I have to add like thousands of extra code to javascript for each modal, or can I make a group code?
Thanks!
I added this:
$('#clickme').click(function(e) {
$('#showModal').modal('show');

and:

                <button class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>

Sign me up!

A: Don't try to do this. Bootstrap's modal is not designed to support that. Its own documentation says

Be sure not to open a modal while another is still visible. Showing more than one modal at a time requires custom code.

It should have said "a lot of custom code". For instance, BS modals use a class on the body element, that is removed when it closed. Therefore, closing a second modal will also hide the first. Then you need special code to detect that a modal was previously open and restore the class on the body. It's much more trouble than it's worth.
Instead, use a "poor man's modal" for the second modal, just an absolutely positioned div you pop up somewhere. You don't need the overlay covering the screen anyway since it's already there from the first modal.


Firefox is a clear winner in terms of what NordVPN devs and sys admins recommend. They also suggest to combine Firefox with security and privacy add-ons, such as uBlock Origin, HTTP Everywhere, Privacy Badger, and No Script.
Chromium is our tech team's second choice. The open-source web browser has no direct link with Google and offers very decent security and privacy features.
Tor Browser is endorsed not only by our tech team but by Edward Snowden himself, and is a great choice if you're looking for privacy. It offers no security plugins, though.

We thought you might be curious about our installation.
The exhibit features a payphone (Protel/coinless), tied to a multimedia hotline (Twilio Studio/OpenVBX), with a mobile booth that features a rebuilt payphone with a hidden computer (Raspberry Pi).
Our installation builds on prior work of the Leimert Phone Company in Los Angeles (including the SKIN Show). We were also inspired by museum multimedia hotlines like that at SFMOMA, city history via payphone like "Recalling 1993" in NYC (ARS Technica), and listening booths like Listening Post NOLA.


The Second Century Fund, named in honor of Wayne Memorial approaching its centennial in 2020, was created to provide the resources to attract the best medical providers possible. It will be used to recruit healthcare professionals with greater incentives, to purchase state of the art medical equipment, implement future medical treatment modalities and acquire advanced informational technologies. The Fund was launched as the hospital was nearing completion of its new 85,000 square foot tower housing 50 private patient rooms.
The Second Century campaign was officially unveiled to the public at the hospital Auxiliary's Mistletoe Ball on March 16th. The campaign has a $3 million goal.

"Ain't no going back now," sings Australian triple threat Iggy Azalea on the majestic opening track of the emphatically titled The New Classic. It's a good thing the rapper/singer/model has such resolve; her debut album faced long delays as she navigated the major-label maze. Having finally arrived, it posits Azalea as pop-hop's latest superstar: a nimble, catty rapper who sounds perfectly at home amid a panoply of club-destined bangers. Helmed by a who's-who of in-demand producers (The Invisible Men, The Messengers, Stargate), The New Classic is impossibly sleek, its beats revved up and zooming like a Ferrari down Rodeo Drive. "100," a slinking guitar groove produced by and featuring the Atlanta trap trio Watch the Duck, includes Azalea running down her shopping list: "No Michael Kors, just Tom Ford." She invites haters to "walk a mile in these Louboutins" on "Work," a trap anthem that describes Azalea's hardscrabble background: "Sixteen in the middle of Miami, no money, no family." Clearly she's come a long way.

PEOPLE: New appointments at Singapore-based firms, SGX, SMX and BDP
Posted on June 29, 2011 by EnergyAsia
(EnergyAsia, June 29 2011, Wednesday) — Three Singapore-based firms, Singapore Exchange, Singapore Mercantile Exchange and BDP, have named senior executive appointments.
Singapore Exchange (SGX) has hired a veteran oil trader for the first time to head its commodities business underlining its attempt to become a leading commodities exchange in Asia.
Julie Heng, a gasoline trader, joined from European trading firm Mercuria Energy – where she set up and headed its gasoline trading team in Singapore. She had previously served in various trading, business development and leadership roles at the Shell Group of Companies and Esso Singapore for more than two decades.
Ms Heng, a chemical engineer by training, will report to SGX President Gan Seow Ann.
Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMX) has appointed V. Hariharan, a board member, as interim CEO to take over from Thomas McMahon who will leaves the company at the end of this month but will remain as an external adviser.
Mr Hariharan has been with the parent company, the Financial Technologies Group, since December 2000.
Logistics firm BDP International (BDP), which counts global oil and chemical companies among its key customers, has promoted David Poh to the position of general manager for Singapore.
In his new role Mr. Poh, who was last Head of Chemical Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, will be responsible for all Singapore operations including strategies to grow the Singapore business.
BDP said Mr Poh played a crucial role in establishing BDP as the market leader in chemical logistics in Singapore, and was responsible for setting up its warehouse and distribution operations.
Mr. Gary Chan, the Asia Pacific managing director of BDP International, said:
"BDP is expanding its operations throughout Asia by entering new markets as well as growing our market share in established countries like Singapore. As a global trade hub, Singapore is of pivotal importance to our Asian operations.
We are confident that David is the best man to lead our Singapore team."


The job of a Wedding Planner is loaded with a myriad of responsibilities. The chief goal, however, is to ensure a successful wedding at the end of the day. It's the job of the wedding planner to establish the timeline while working with the couple to choose the attires, venues, music, food, and every other thing that will make the wedding a memorable and successful event.
A typical wedding would involve a lot of activities prior to the D-day. It is the responsibility of the wedding planner to establish timeline for each of the activities. The wedding planner is responsible for every aspect of the event, including budget, logistics, hiring of vendors, and choosing of occasion venues, among other things. Each of these activities is important to the success of the wedding. Hence, you must allocate time to each of the activities to ensure that everything is perfect for the couple, the family, and guests on the big day.
It is the responsibility of the wedding planner to hire and coordinate the activities of the different vendors that would partake in ensuring the success of the wedding event. Some of the key players that need to partake in the planning process include caterers, florists, cake and dress designers, a DJ or band, entertainers, and suppliers of rental equipments, among other vendors. You will need to liaise with the groom and bride at every stage so you can understand their preferences to ensure you're bringing the right person on board.
The couple and their families are not professional planners. More also, they're most likely going to be busy in the days leading to the wedding event. These are the reasons they are engaging you to oversee everything to ensure the success of the event. Thus, it is part of your responsibilities as the wedding planner to ensure you maintain all contact and communication with the vendors. You must ascertain that everything is going according to plan at every point in time by contacting every vendor to get detailed updates on the duties assigned to them.
Ensuring that everyone and everything is in their places as at when necessary on the big day is important. Hence, as the wedding planner, it's your job to coordinate and instruct every partaker, including the groom, bride, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers, photographers, cameramen, parents and officiant, on what, when, and how. Everything is left to you. So, the couple and their parents should not be concerned about issues such as sitting of guests, who to officiate, or when certain thing should come up in the lineup of activities.
Your job is not completed until the couple has retired to their hotel room or otherwise after the event. So, ensure you have everything prior, during, and after the wedding event under control. It's also important that you have some contingency plans should certain things go wrong.
Indeed, the job of a wedding planner can be challenging as well as exciting. So, if you need additional information on wedding planners' responsibilities, and how to secure wedding planner jobs in UK, US, Australia, and Canada, contact Joblang today for the right assistance.

One of Singapore's richest ecosystems, Chek Jawa is a unique natural area where six major habitats meet and mix.
Slated for land reclamation in 1992, the wonderful secrets of Chek Jawa were unveiled only in December 2000. As public attention was drawn to this site, thousands of Singaporeans flocked to visit this wetland treasure. At the same time, appeals from nature lovers and the general public led to a review of its reclamations plans.
After carefully considering all public submissions and extensive consultations with scientific experts and relevant government agencies, it was announced in 2001 that reclamation works would be deferred for as long as Pulau Ubin is not required for development.
Visiting Chek Jawa
From Sunday, 8 July 2007, new amenities at Chek Jawa Wetlands have been opened to the public. Visitors can now conduct their own DIY tour of Chek Jawa every day of the week. The amenities, including a visitor centre with a viewing jetty, over 1 kilometres of boardwalk (Mangrove and Coastal Loops), and a 20 metre tall Jejawi Tower, are part of a long-term sustainable visitor management plan to protect the rich biodiversity.
Chek Jawa is an intertidal area, with various ecosystems unveiled at low tides of 0.5 metres and below. Do refer to the tides table when you plan a visit to avoid disappointment.
Chek Jawa Opening Hours: 9.00 am - 5.00 pm
Getting to Chek Jawa Wetlands
Upon arrival at the Ubin jetty, visitors can hire a van or rent a bicycle from the main village. For the more adventurous, a walk to Chek Jawa would take about 40 minutes.
Visitors can either cycle or hire a vehicle to get to Chek Jawa Wetlands. For the safety of visitors, bicycles and vehicles will have to be parked at designated lots near Punai Hut. Do remember to ask for a bicycle lock when you rent your bicycle.

Low Budget but a Good Cause: "Starting From Zero"


Raymond Williams (1921–1988) was for many years Professor of Drama at the University of Cambridge. Among his many books are Culture and Society, Culture and Materialism, Politics and Letters, Problems in Materialism and Culture, and several novels.
New Left Review recently republished a relatively unknown 1961 essay from Raymond Williams on the 'Future of Marxism'. In this article, Daniel Gerke responds to the article and offers an illuminating account of what is identified as the consistency of Williams's internationalism.
Ben Harker maps Williams's developing positions on the relationship between culture, consciousness, class power, and socialist strategy.
In a conversation with Phil O'Brien of the Raymond Williams Society, Michael Denning discusses his four decades of learning from Williams' work.
