Q: How does a map() function work over an array? The definition in my book is the method passes each element of the array on which it is invoked to the function you specify, and returns a new array containing the value returned by that function.
a = [1,2,3]
a.map(function(x) { return x*x; }); // b is [1,4,9]

I would want the function to only return 1 if 4 is not found.
The case would be
var bool = false;
a.map(function(x) {

if (x == 4){
  bool = true;
}

return x;
}).filter(function(x) {if( (x == 1) && ( bool = true)){ return null}});

The way I would like to use it is by iterating over an array and than dynamically change the map at the end. How would I do that?
My problem now is with strings, so
Here is another case, where 1 is now called unknown. And if anything after "unknown" is found, remove "unknown" from the list before joining.
 var wordList = [];
    var newSource = false;
    str = results[i].Meaning.map(function(m){
        count++;

        if ((!m.Source && !contains(wordList, "unknown"))) {
            wordList[count] = "unknown";
            return "unknown";
            }
        if (!m.Source ) {
            return m.Source;
        }

            if ( contains(wordList, "unknown") ) {
                newSource = true;
            }
            if (!contains(wordList, m.Source) ) {
                wordList[count] = m.Source;
                return m.Source;
            }

    }).filter(function(x) { return x  }).filter(function(x){
        if (newSource == true ) { return (x != "unknown")}}).join(', ');

A: Let's look at the first function:
function f1(x) {
  var bool = false;

  if (x == 4){
    bool = true;
  }

  return x;
}

This function changes the variable bool locally, and returns x. So, no matter what happens to bool, this function is equivalent to the identity function:
function(x) { return x; }

Because .map(f) returns an array with f applied to all elements, we have that a.map(f1) is equivalent to a.map(identity function) which is equivalent to a.
The second function is inside the filter:
if( (x == 1) && ( bool = true)) return null;

We have some issues here:

*

*There's no function(x) signature

*You are trying to access the bool variable, that was declared on the first function.

I suggest whenever you use map and filter, that you use pure functions, which means your function just process the parameter passed to them, and return the result.
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish in the first problem; please give more details and I'll try to help you with a solution.
Look for tutorials in map, filter and reduce on Google. For example, this egghead video.


Hello, I'm back. Now I want to tell you about surfing. It is really fun.
2. You put your right foot in the middle of the board.
3. Leave your left foot in the back.

Review of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was announced in September 2020 and launched in October of 2021. This one for the fans! Or for the chemistry students with a penchant for iron alloys? It's not 'lite,' that's for sure.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE price in Kenya debuted at Kes 65,000/= but will vary as there are offers and discounts currently.
Galaxy S20 FE specs at a glance;
Body: 159.8×74.5×8.4mm, 190g; Glass front, plastic back, aluminium frame; Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified), IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 mins); Colors: Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud Navy, Cloud White, Cloud Red, Cloud Orange.
Display: 6.5″ Super AMOLED, 1080x2400px resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, 407ppi; 120Hz refresh rate.
Chipset (5G): Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865 (7 nm+): Octa-core (1×2.84 GHz Kryo 585 & 3×2.42 GHz Kryo 585 & 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 585); Adreno 650.
Chipset: Exynos 990 (7 nm+): Octa-core (2×2.73 GHz Mongoose M5 & 2×2.50 GHz Cortex-A76 & 4×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55); Mali-G77 MP11
Memory: 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM; microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot).
OS/Software: Android 10, One UI 2.5.
Rear camera: Wide (main): 12 MP, f/1.8, 26mm, 1/1.76″, 1.8µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS; Telephoto: 8 MP, f/2.4, 73mm, 1/4.5″, 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom; Ultra wide angle: 12 MP, f/2.2, 123˚, 13mm, 1/3.0″, 1.12µm; LED flash, auto-HDR, panorama.

Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer; NFC; stereo speakers.
The central punch hole in the panel and the camera arrangement on the back give the Galaxy S20 FE a distinct Samsung look. Despite its apparent brand association, the Fan Edition falls short of giving off an S-series vibe, instead giving off an 'A-series' vibe.
The Galaxy S20 FE has a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED panel, but it lacks the 'Dynamic' branding that the other S20s and Note20 Ultra have. So it's similar to the vanilla Note20, but better: unlike the simple Note, it supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
FullHD (1080x2400px in a 20:9 aspect ratio with a pixel density of 393ppi) is the resolution. You might argue that it's a downgrade compared to the 1440p panels on the other S20s, but you could also argue that it's the same – after all, the non-FEs' display resolution is similarly limited at 1080p when run at 120Hz.

User Interface and Performance
The S20 FE runs on the same OneUI 2.5 that was first introduced on the Note20 and later rolled out to the S20s and last year's flagships. It isn't significantly different from the 2.1 edition or the plain 2.0 version. In any case, Android 10 is running under the in-house overlay, and the FE is on a list of phones that will receive three big OS updates – so Android 13 is the most it will get.
The Snapdragon 865 chipset is the only choice for the Galaxy S20 FE 5G. There is a geographic division in the 4G variant, with several countries receiving the Snapdragon. The Exynos 990 is given to the rest of the group. We have the base version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which comes in three memory configurations: 6/128GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB.
The camera system on the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition differs from that on the S20 and S20+. That is, two of the three modules are distinct, while the main unit remains the same. Behind an f/1.8 aperture lens is a 12MP sensor with large 1.8m pixels. Dual pixel autofocus and image stabilization are also included in the list of features.
The ultra-wide-angle cam has a slightly wider field of view than the other S20s, but at 123 degrees vs. 120 degrees, even with the software correction factored in, the difference isn't important. This one has the same f/2.2 aperture as the others and, like the others, no autofocus. The resolution is also the same: 12MP.
Then it's on to the telephoto. The FE has an 8MP telephoto camera with a 76mm equivalent focal length. That's around 2.9x zoom, which can pass for 3x in our book, measured from the main camera's 26mm focal length. This camera has a smallish 1.0m pixel size and an f/2.4 aperture lens. Compare that to the S20 tele's 1.07x optical zoom and 64MP resolution, which uses software to zoom.
Instead of the traditional 10MP selfie sensor used on the S20 and S20+, the Fan Edition gets a 32MP Quad Bayer sensor. This one has the same f/2.2 aperture and 25mm equivalent focal length as the previous one, although it lacks autofocus.
The main camera on the Galaxy S20 FE can capture video in 4K60 resolution. The ultra-wide can shoot in 4K and 1080p, but only at 30 frames per second. Technically, the telephoto will do the same, but you'll have to turn to tele first and then adjust the frame rate in settings to get it to record at 60fps in either resolution. Furthermore, it's a mystery how it manages to record 3840x2160px from a sensor with a nominal resolution of 3264x2448px.
The Galaxy S20 FE has a 4,500mAh battery, which is the same as the S20+ and Note20 Ultra. To be clear, we're testing the 5G variant of the Fan Edition, which means it has the Snapdragon 865 chipset instead of the Exynos chipset used in most Galaxy review devices.
With Samsung's USB PowerDelivery with PPS adapter, the Galaxy S20 FE supports fast wired charging up to 25W. The caveat here is that the phone comes with an old Qualcomm QC2.0-compliant 15W adapter – also the S10 Lite came with the correct 25W charger!

GapiDraw 4.0 is compiled and ready. Before we release it however we want to make sure that we have the updated web site finished, a new tutorial completed and have worked through all the documentation. We finally decided to keep the name GapiDraw instead of switching to MobiDraw. We like GapiDraw, and it has been a part of our lives the past six years, and we plan to continue developing it for many years still to come!
Expect a release early next week!
Regarding features: Yes there are many new features and core improvements. But I won't disclose them until next week when I'm also making it available for download. Some of the features are very cool and nice to have, but are a bit hard to explain with just text. GapiDraw 4 represents a major new platform for us, and we plan to keep improving and adding free features to it much like we have improved and released free upgrades to GapiDraw 3 the past years.
Pricing for GapiDraw 4.0 will be the same as for 3.8. We will also have upgrade discounts for current users. GapiDraw 4.0 will be available for Windows CE devices, Windows Mobile devices and stationary PCs.

BEKO HEALTHY KITCHENS
Beko Home Appliances, considered to be among the world's most sustainable appliance manufacturers, is using Earth Day to announce a slew of eco-conscious initiatives including a strategic alliance that places two of the first and highest-profile Beko Healthy Kitchens in one of the world's healthiest and most sustainable homes
The U.S. subsidiary of Arcelik, Inc., has partnered with gaming and tech icon Michael Wann to design and outfit the chef's and family kitchens in Wann's 4,500-square-foot net-zero carbon home taking shape in Santa Monica, Calif. Currently chief strategy officer for Super League Gaming and instrumental in the growth of Tastemade, Fullscreen and Mobcrush, Wann is building a two-level home near Santa Monica College as both a personal residence and a public example of the possibilities of healthy, sustainable home and kitchen design.
"For years, our dream has been to build a home that reflects our love for a healthy, balanced day-to-day life and fully sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle," Wann said. "The result will be an attainable net-zero-carbon showplace of accessible healthy, earth-friendly living – and a tangible example for others wanting to make a real difference in their own health and the health of the planet without sacrificing lifestyle goals."
With the introduction of the Beko Healthy Kitchen earlier this year, Beko is looking to transform the U.S. industry in 2022 and beyond through expert councils, inspired kitchen designs and buildouts, major corporate strategic alliances and at least 35 new cooking, cooling and cleaning products with proprietary technologies and features that empower Americans to lead healthier lives while contributing to a healthier planet.
"To have the first tangible Beko Healthy Kitchens take shape in a home intended to serve as a best-in-class example of healthy, sustainable design represents perfectly the Beko mantra that healthy living is only truly possible on a healthy planet," said Zach Elkin, president of Beko Home Appliances.
A floorplan by Vaishali Makim, AIA, principal of Makim Architecture of Santa Monica, calls for sweeping, light-filled open spaces, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, separate family, living, entertainment and formal dining rooms, a personal gym and climate-controlled wine and cheese room. Wann started construction in May 2021 on the former site of his family's vegetable garden and expects move-in by January 2023.
For Wann's 145-square-foot downstairs chef's kitchen and 152-square-foot upstairs open-floor-plan family kitchen, Beko is working with designers on its Beko Healthy Kitchen Council to combine appliances, cabinets, surfaces, lighting and interior aesthetics with nutrition, recipe-prep, and earth-friendly elements to create centers of health, wellness and sustainability. Both kitchens will boast an array of the latest Beko kitchen and laundry appliances that were announced at KBIS 2022 including dishwashers equipped with CornerIntense® and IonGuard™, refrigerators with HarvestFresh+™, an industry-largest Beko Double-Wall Oven and range with AirFry, and washing machines outfitted with AquaTech® and RecycledTub® each made from 60 recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
The home will also feature the world's first rooftop installation of a SmartFlower solar system that combines integrated sculptural design, advanced robotics and automation to track the sun throughout the day to produce 40% more energy than traditional solar panels.

A patent application filed in December of 2007 (not yet granted) by Microsoft reveals an interesting spin on the much touted idea of the human search engine that in theory just might succeed where others have failed by building a real economy around hand-crafted search results.
When thinking of community-powered search engines or "open source" search engines as this patent affectionately mentions, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Mahalo, especially with the new focus on monetary incentives since its relaunch earlier this month. Whilst there are definitely similarities between the two ideas, there is at least one minor but important difference which I think gives Microsoft's model an edge.
In this particular implementation, the patent suggests users generate targeted search results in the form of lists with numerous relevant web links and even a custom excerpt describing the contents and why its relevant. These lists then appear on the results page of the targeted queries next to the conventional results, thus it is not a search engine that depend entirely on user-generated results, in fact on the opposite end, almost branding such lists as "ads" as suggested in the mockup above.
Next, to motivate users to create high-quality result lists, the patent describes a system of offering monetary incentives for creators who generate "popular" lists, based on volume and/or rankings by other users, tracking clicks and other measurements on the results set.
In order to fuel the economy between creating lists from queries and generating revenues for creators, ad revenues from ads that are shown on websites are used to pay the creators. However, ads are not the only mechanism that may be used to generate revenues. Revenues from a subscription or usage could also be used depending on how the present invention is implemented. The economy provides flexibility by allowing creators to generate popular lists and allowing creators to invest in new entrants into the economy.
Whilst so far everything might sound rather predictable of a community-powered search engine, but the other side of the coin is where it sets this system apart. Instead of a free-for-all system where anyone can create a results list for any topic or query, this patent also describes an economy for targeting queries.
A user […] can create a list targeting a query. The list is sent to servers to be shown to the public whenever the list is accessed. However, a link to the list is [only] shown to the public when [the] creator pays a value or rent. The amount that creator pays depends on the query, which has an assigned value. Regardless of the size of the generated list, [the] creator pays the value or rent commensurate with the assigned value to the query. Higher value queries command higher payments or rents.
This barrier-to-entry to publishing a list is where sets this system apart from other implementations I've witnessed. The system is no longer just an opportunity to earn some loose change, but it actually deters lists that are of low-quality and also builds competition between list creators for a limited number of spaces per query. The word "rent" is of particular interest since it suggests that this may be a fee over time.
Furthermore, there may also be very much a risk involved in creating bad lists. For example, incurring a lost if a list is bad or not updated over time.
As embodiments of the present invention describe incentives for [the] creator to generate a good list, embodiments of the present invention deter the creation of bad lists. If a list is not popular, it will not earn income. Over time, a bad list will lose its opportunity to be shown to the public in favor of more popular lists. This can occur even if the creator has initially paid a value or rent to be shown. For one thing, there is only a limited amount of space where a link can be shown on a web page. It is highly competitive to get a list to be shown and to keep the list being shown. The incentive is to create a good list that will be popular in order to keep it in the public view for as long as possible.
And an example of what a list might look like, for "in-wall microwaves", a high-valued query I'm sure.
I think such a unforgiving incentive program and economy behind this idea is what is needed to make user-generated search results not only work well but work over time. Certainly I'll be interested to see if Microsoft or any company has the guts to realize this idea in practice.
I love the amount of detail in the fake profile and search results. Some lawyer sure had fun.
Basically, if you already have some money to pay the fee, you might make some extra money from people checking out your list.
This doesn't sound like "user generated search results" and "open source", right?

Canadian research finds steep increase in suicide attempts by children
Canadian data is too incomplete to measure the scope of the problem
The rising number of children being taken to hospital for suicide attempts and suicidal thoughts is being described as a crisis, but Canadian data is too incomplete to measure the scope of the problem, a Montreal researcher who has studied the issue says.
Dr. Brett Burstein, a pediatric emergency room physician, co-authored a study published this week that found the number of children who have been hospitalized in the United States for contemplating or attempting suicide doubled between 2007 and 2015 — to 1.12 million from 580,000.
Suicide attempts or thoughts also increased as a proportion of all pediatric emergency room visits, from 2.17 per cent to 3.5 per cent. The findings come from public health data maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and analyzed by Burstein and two Montreal Children's Hospital colleagues, Holly Agostino and Brian Greenfield.
Burstein says comparable national data isn't available in Canada, but evidence suggests a similar trend is occurring. He notes that in his hospital, emergency room visits for suicide attempts and suicidal thoughts have increased by 55 per cent rise since 2015 and now account for approximately two per cent of all visits.
"Certainly what we're seeing (in Montreal) models the experience we're seeing (in the study), as has the tendency for that patient population to be younger and younger," said Burstein, who is also an associate investigator with the McGill University Health Centre's child health and human development program.

"It's reasonable to call this a pediatric mental health crisis," he said.
Burstein says one of the most disturbing findings to emerge from the American data was the fact that 43 per cent of the children taken to the emergency department were between the ages of five and 12.
He said that number is particularly worrying because a first suicide attempt is "the strongest predictor of a lifelong risk of completed suicide."
He says the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, shows a clear need for more training for emergency personnel to ensure children get the help they need quickly. "This is our port of entry and our opportunity to identify people at risk," he said.
He also called on Canadian public health officials to develop national health data comparable to what exists in the United States.
"We think of American trends as a problem that's south of the border only," he said. "It's not that it's an American problem only. It's that we don't even know if it's a Canadian problem, very often."
Fardous Hosseiny, the national director of research and public policy for the Canadian Mental Health Association, agrees that Canada needs better data.
He says that would allow officials to direct funding more effectively to treat what he describes as an "epidemic" of suicidal thoughts among Canadian youth. He said the rise in suicidal behaviour can be explained by a combination of factors, including a lack of mental health services, youth feeling increasingly pressured to succeed, and social isolation and bullying brought on by social media use.
"This is really a transition period for children, both neurobiologically and socially," he said in a phone interview. "They have to navigate different social settings and peer groups while discovering who they are, and juggling greater responsibility and how to live more independently."
Hosseiny says effectively tackling the problem will require much larger investments in mental health services, so that people no longer have to wait months for treatment. Ultimately, he believes mental health should be placed on a par with physical health, including being taught in schools just like gym class.
"Are we teaching social and emotional learning in schools, where kids can navigate through their feelings and understand what a tough day is when they're struggling?" he asked. "We're not doing that."
He said that while the reasons for suicidal behaviour are multiple and complex, there are also "protective factors" that loved ones can put in place to help young people who are struggling.
These include family connectedness, self-esteem, a positive school environment and peer support, as well as better early intervention and treatment. "We don't wait until Stage 4 to treat cancer, so why do we do it with mental illness?" Hosseiny asked.

Q: Django ForeignKey prevent creation when parent is a child I have the following model:
class PostModel(models.Model):
    post = models.ForeignKey('self', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='posts')

I can create new posts like this:
post_1 = PostModel.objects.create()

Or new posts with a parent post:
post_2 = PostModel.objects.create(post=post_1)

I want to know if it's possible for a post to have only a parent which itself doesn't have a parent.
So the following wouldn't be allowed:
post_3 = PostModel.objects.create(post=post_2) # post_2 has a parent, prevent creation

A: You can override the .save() method

Route analysis: TIA-HAM, DUB-CAI, SMF-OGG
This week: Hamburg has secured its first-ever non-stop service to Tirana; EgyptAir is to restore Ireland's link with Egypt; and Alaska Airlines is making further changes to its Californian network.
By Nigel Mayes
Nigel Mayes is the senior vice president, consulting and product development at ASM. Nigel has more than 15 years' experience in route development and is responsible for product development at ASM.
ASM is the world's leading route development consultancy and has supported the creation of new air services since 1993.
Tirana-Hamburg (TIA-HAM)
3x-weekly
O&D traffic demand (12 months to June 2019)
Growth % YOY
Average base fare $ (12 months to June 2019)
Hamburg has secured its first-ever non-stop service to Tirana, the capital of Albania. Low-cost carrier Albawings will begin flying between the two cities from March 30, 2020 using Boeing 737-400 aircraft. Flights will operate three times per week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Albawings launched its first route to Germany in June 2019 with a 2x-weekly service between Tirana and Dusseldorf. Initially scheduled to operate seasonally until Oct. 24, service was extended into the winter season.
According to OAG Schedules Analyser (for w/c Jan. 13, 2020), Albawings is one of just three carriers to serve the Germany-Albania market. Lufthansa flies Tirana-Frankfurt daily, while Wizz Air connects Tirana with Dortmund (3x-weekly) and Memmingen (2x-weekly). Slovenian flag carrier Adria Airways previously provided flights from Tirana to Frankfurt and Munich until its demise in October 2019.
Tirana is the largest city in Albania and is at the heart of the country's cultural, political and economic life. One of the city's best-known attractions is the central Skanderbeg Square, along with the National Museum of History. The capital is also a good starting point for a trip to the Albanian coast, stretching along the Adriatic and Ionian seas, with the Durrës and Vlorë among the most popular regions.
The new route comes as Albania's government continues to push the country's recently launched tourism strategy through policy measures designed to further stimulate the sector. These include tax cuts for new four- and five-star hotels. According to Albania's Institute of Statistics, the number of foreign arrivals totalled 6.1 million during the first 11 months of 2019, a rise of 8.3% compared with the same period in 2018.
In addition to leisure passengers, Albawings' Tirana-Hamburg route will also cater for VFR traffic. There are approximately 270,000 Albanians living in Germany.
Dublin-Cairo (DUB-CAI)
Airbus A320neo
EgyptAir is to launch a new year-round direct Dublin-Cairo service this summer, restoring scheduled air service between Ireland and Egypt. The route starts on June 5 and will operate four times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The Star Alliance member plans to fly to Dublin using Airbus A320neo aircraft, scheduled to enter its fleet in February. The 142-seat configuration will have 16 seats in business and 126 in economy.
Ireland has been without a link to Egypt for the past four years since the ban on flights to beach resort Sharm el-Sheikh. However, despite the lack of direct flights, data from Sabre Market Intelligence shows that more than 14,500 passengers travelled between the two countries in 2018. In the first six months of 2019, the figure totalled 7,600, representing a year-on-year rise of 10.3%.
EgyptAir carried more than nine million passengers in 2019 on a fleet of 68 aircraft. It operates more than 70 routes, including services to 18 African destinations, 17 in the Middle East, seven in Asia-Pacific and three in North America.
Sacramento-Kahului (SMF-OGG)
1x-daily
Alaska Airlines is making further changes to its Californian network, including ending a second Hawaii route from Sacramento. The carrier will cease its daily Boeing 737-800 service between to Kahului, Maui, from May 20, 2020. The move follows a decision to cancel its 3x-weekly Sacramento-Kona route from March 18.
Hawaiian Airlines also flies between Sacramento and Kahului, providing daily service using Airbus A321 aircraft. However, a new competitor is set to enter the market in March when Southwest begins operating the route daily using Boeing 737-800s.
In addition to cancelling the Sacramento flights to Kahului and Kona, other changed to Alaska's Californian network include discontinuing San Francisco-Kona, Los Angeles-Salt Lake City and San Francisco-New Orleans.
However, the changes will allow the carrier to grow elsewhere in its network, with plans to add a second daily flight between San Francisco and Salt Lake City, as well as launching a new Monterey-Seattle route.

here's my card for this week's DTC. Shelly chose a super fun theme for us at the Digital Tuesday Challenge.
When I saw this image from our sponsor "The little yellow company", I knew it was perfect for this challenge. Plus I love Elvis!
I decided to make a CD cover.
The image was colored with copics and cut out. I then mounted it to a star shape. Designer papers are from Stampin Up & DCWV and card stock is from Stampin Up. I sponged the white edges with turquise ink and did some sewing with my janome mini. To finish this CD cover off, I added some grosgrain ribbon , sizzix flourishes and applied silver stickles to the image.
The inside was inspired by a cover that Tina from Tina's Kreativeblog made.
The words were computer generated.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. The full recipe is below.
Be sure to check out the digital tuesday challenge blog to see what the other designers created and maybe you can play along for a chance to win something from the little yellow company. All you have to do is make a card/project using a digistamp and something to do with music.
Accessories & tools: grosgrain ribbon, stickles, nestabilities labels 8, large oval punch, sizzix flourish, big kick, half inch circle punch, janome mini.
Elle what a way to honor elvis good job.
HOW CUTE IS THAT!!!!! Wow Ellie I love this so creative and well done.

Premier League: Mohamed Salah penalty gives Liverpool 1-0 win over Aston Villa
December 11, 2021 Tom Rice EPL 0
Steven Gerrard was denied a return to Anfield as his side Aston Villa were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool. The visitors deeply defended most of the game time in the hope of escaping the point, but eventually broke up and left too late to start a meaningful attack.
Liverpool were denied the first penalty when Sadio Mane was stopped by Matty Cash, Stuart Attwell told the Senegalese striker to stand up.
The chance for the first half of the match followed as soon as Andy Robertson crossed the line to be met by Trent Alexander-Arnold, but his effort was severely diverted.
Robertson then almost caught the goal with a header from a long post, but Emi Martinez was careful and kept it out, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain found a short shot just above the post.
Cash was also at the center of Robertson's penalty shootout debate, but Attwell also dismissed the athlete's claims, before Salah tried to beat Martinez in a nearby but the Argentine side came down at the right time to prevent him from entering.
Liverpool last dominated the 2nd half as Virgil van Dijk almost got the net in the corner, while Martinez once again did well to keep it 0-0.
Aston Villa had to face a few waves of Liverpool's attack, but their resistance finally broke when Tyrone Mings dropped Mohamed Salah off the penalty spot, and the Egyptian turned around from there.
Steven Gerrard tossed another red forward Danny Ings in search of an equalizer, and while Villa was on top, Alisson lowered the striker after meeting Joel Matip. However, neither Attwell nor the VAR thought the challenge was illegal.

BMW CCA Triangle meeting - To grrr, or not to grrr? That is the question.
Gilbert who normally runs the show for the BMW CCA meeting we have every 3rd Thursday was unable to make the meeting this evening. Since I replied to him earlier, I got sucked into running the meeting, but it's not a big deal. I already had some video footage from Fifth Gear to show on the new Mini and the Lamborghini Gallardo to show everyone. Only had 11 people, so definitely a slow night (we normally see twice that and then some).
With people talking about cars and stuff and upcoming track time at VIR for the next High Performance Driving School, I was really longing to get back out on the track. That will have to wait until I have a track car and that will have to wait until my budget allows it when my current car is paid off in a few months. It's great to just be with guys who like to talk about BMW's, how to fix things, mechanics, tech talk and all share in the thrill of driving these cars both new and old. Again, another good way to end the evening.
and your track car is going to be...?
GTR and that's a Japan feature, and the limiter is set to 118.
And it probably automatically voids your warranty too.
Yeah, that makes more sense. 150mph seems a bit high.
Yep, it was the GTR--I remember now.


Are you planning a self-build? Building your own home has become more popular in recent years. Architect firms seem to be springing up almost anywhere, and there are many advantages to constructing your own family home.
Surprisingly, it may cost a lot less than you may have thought. At the same time, you need to be aware that you may have to finance more of the project out of your own pocket. Hiring an architect is one of the first things you should do when you consider building your own home.
When it comes to house plans, there are many things you need to think through. For instance, local and nationals regulations have to be followed, and on top of that, an architect might need to be aware of environmental regulations as well.
What are The Pros of Hiring an Architect?
Is hiring an architect a good investment? Yes, it is, and many lenders will not lend money to your project if you don't have architectural drawings. The pros of building your own home are many. You are much more likely to live in a self-build house for a more extended period.
It will also be designed with your own personal needs in mind, and you can make it as energy efficient as you would like. These are only two of the significant advantages of building your own place.
When you hire an architect, you're also investing in someone who has knowledge of building codes, as well as a tactician when it comes to wall placement, and what works from a day to day living standpoint. In other words, the drawings are not going to be piecemeal together with no direction. They will work structurally and aesthetically without a hitch.
What Are the Cons of Hiring an Architect?
Custom building and designing plan with an architect can be expensive, and it will take longer than buying a builders model home. But, if you are smart about it, and work together with your architect, you can reduce long term living costs in your new house.
An architect can give you the best advice on what materials to use and how you can future proof your home. He or she will also be able to oversee the project and recommend local builders with an exceptional reputation for building finely crafted homes.
You may think you can handle much of the technical work yourself, but unless you own a building company, it is not likely you are going to be able to handle a large house construction project.
What Are the Most Important Things to Keep in Mind?
Costs - the best way to control costs is to hire an architect. Most self-builds without an architect never come in on budget.
Hiring an architect to help you with your house plans from the start is always the best idea. Bringing in an architect after you have started a home build will cost more money as alterations will often have to be made.
There are more to architect than house plans. Some professional architects will help you with bidding when it comes to choosing the right building contractor for your home. At the very least they will probably supply you with names of reputable local builders.
Lots of architects will be hired independently by builders to prepare building plans for their ongoing projects. Building a home means that you need to bring many different trades together. That is not an easy thing to do, and if you have no experience, you are soon going to find yourself out of your element. Here are a set of questions to ask a builder before you construct a new home. These are excellent things to ask as you'll get a feel for how the builder likes to do things.
Time is another critical factor. Your home will be built in stages and during each stage specialist contractors will need to be brought in. When you don't have any professional experience, it is next to impossible to get the timing right. Also, who checks each stage of the project and makes sure it meets the specifications of the designs and the regulations? That is the job of an architect, and you do need a pro to do deal with any problems should they arise.
Making sure a contractor sticks to the design, budget, and time scale is another important task that could potentially fall on the plate of an architect. Most homeowners who have built their own house with the help of an architect are happy. Let your architect inspire you, and you will be pleasantly surprised by what you can achieve when you work together.
Working with a professional architect is a smart move, especially when you are building a luxury home with intricate details. For a smaller design, an architect may not be needed as there are plenty of excellent stock plans that can be modified. Quite often builders can make minor modifications right in the field without ever needing custom architectural drawings.

California's new privacy law is an opportunity, not a chore
Opinion // Open Forum
By Rich Matta Dec. 17, 2019
Nothing to fear in California privacy law, says tech CEO.
Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto
Years ago, my reaction to information security and privacy audits was typical of tech executives who earned their stripes in the dot-com era: "what a pain." Like many of my peers, I cared about privacy, but nobody wanted auditors taking time and focus away from other value-generating activities for customers. And yet, today, personal data is more valuable to companies than oil, and data breaches are occurring at an ever-increasing rate.
As companies scramble to prepare for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), taking effect on Jan. 1, I've come to see that companies should not approach compliance as a chore. Rather, privacy must be considered a core feature of any consumer product. Truly, deeply respecting consumer privacy — not just giving it lip service or doing the minimum to meet regulations — represents a significant business opportunity to build trust, expand revenue streams and set the stage for global market success.
The CCPA is a hotly contested piece of legislation among both consumers and business owners. Some companies would prefer that the online world continue to operate as it does now: without clear governance and rules when it comes to consumer data privacy. Technology is among the biggest growth industries in the U.S., so it's not surprising that the data trade has grown unchecked, but what's more surprising is how long it took legislators — and the public — to realize it needed to change.
Consumers and businesses don't need to be at odds when it comes to data privacy. Companies impacted by the CCPA need to invest now in becoming compliant versus applying lower-cost, short-term Band-Aid solutions. Being proactive about compliance could strengthen and build positive brand affinity among consumers if companies communicate how they're adjusting their practices. For example, when companies make consumer data privacy and protection their competitive differentiator, like Apple and Microsoft are currently attempting, this builds more consumer trust and therefore more engagement in the long run.
Today's consumers might be apathetic when it comes to taking back control of their data, but when armed with a toolbox of new regulations, they will likely take better care to guard their virtual selves. Consumers of the future will demand more protection when it comes to their personal information being bought and sold in the online marketplace. How companies react to the CCPA will be a key differentiator in the coming decade. They can either be seen as a vestige of the old guard or a trusted online platform for the future.
U.S. companies must also realize that the CCPA represents the dawning of a new and increasingly regulated online information marketplace. Businesses must develop new, adjacent revenue streams that don't depend upon the selling of personal information. Being proactive is cheaper and presents radically more opportunity than being reactive.
The CCPA is just the beginning as multiple versions of state and federal privacy legislation have been proposed; Washington is abuzz with calls to rein in "Big Tech." This means that businesses operating in information trading — including social media, advertising and content giants — will have to make major adjustments to keep customers, and shareholders, happy.
New legislation may be the nudge that companies need to do what is probably right for them and for consumers in the long run — finding new revenue streams that address consumer pain points without relying on hocking their data.
Data protection laws in global markets, most notably the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union, are more stringent and burdensome than anything currently proposed at the state or federal level in the U.S. For smaller companies that wish someday to compete on the global stage, designing simple and effective consumer privacy controls into their solutions and processes from the ground floor will benefit them in the long run. For larger companies already operating globally, meeting the same higher standard internationally can help reduce complexity and improve consistency across their different regions.
The next decade will see the internet continue to evolve at a faster pace than we've yet seen. In terms of consumer privacy and security, and CCPA, business owners and technology leaders face a fork in the road. They can treat compliance as an afterthought and invest the minimum amount of resources to skate by, or they can seize the business growth opportunity by making it a core value and a fundamental feature of their products and services.

From the archives: Sean Price inspires Audley to second Premier A victory
Moddershall & Oulton, Norton in Hales and Longton also continue their fine starts to the 2003 North Staffs and South Cheshire League season
Chris TraversDeputy Sports Editor/Cricket Writer
Sean Price was in the runs and wickets as Audley defeated Meir Heath in their 2003 North Staffs and South Cheshire League Premier A match.
Several clubs continued their strong starts to the 2003 North Staffs and South Cheshire League season in week two. CHRIS TRAVERS looks at how the action unfolded on the second Saturday in Premier A...
AUDLEY made it two wins out of two in Premier A with a Sean Price-inspired victory at Meir Heath.
Audley, one of four teams now with back-to-back victories under their belts, had few concerns in achieving an eight-wicket win on their road trip.
Meir Heath, who had beaten Caverswall on the opening weekend, struggled with the bat as they were restricted to 146-9.
Stefan Read top-scored with 35 and there was 27 from Richard Stonier, but they were unable to break free from a tight grip applied by the visitors' attack.
That was led by Price, who claimed 4-41, and Gary Latham's 4-28.
Price was then instrumental in Audley wrapping up a convincing success. He blasted 87 at the top of the visitors' reply and, with Dan Callaghan adding 30, they romped past the post.
The win leaves Audley in third place, with Longton sitting level on points with them in fourth following their home victory over Leek.
Leek were always on the back foot once they had been dismissed for just 118 at Ripon Road. Simon Tweats (23) and Dave Cartledge (21) made the most headway against a disciplined home attack.
Spinner Gareth Morris made it nine wickets in two league matches with 5-49, while Nigel Davies weighed in with 3-31 at the other end.
Davies' all-round credentials came to the fore after tea as well as he helped himself to an unbeaten 54.
Gary Latham was also in top form with the ball in Audley's victory.
And with Mike Longmore (25) and skipper Richard Harvey (24no) also doing their bit, Longton were soon celebrating an eight-wicket win. Richard Cooper took both of the wickets to fall.
It's Moddershall and Norton in Hales who are leading the way, though, with a maximum 50 points in the bank.
Moddershall's unblemished start continued with a 24-run victory at home against Porthill Park.
The Modd men posted 197 all out and despite a spirited effort with the bat, the visitors were dismissed for 173.
That made it back-to-back defeats for Porthill Park who had lost to Norton in Hales on the first weekend.
A dash to buy new whites was the prelude to Iain Carr's record-breaking innings
And Norton in Hales built on that success at the Old County Ground by defeating Little Stoke in their opening home match of the campaign.
Life wasn't always straightforward, though, as four wickets apiece from Nick Bratt (4-39) and Mo Akram (4-56) dismissed Norton in Hales for 131. Darren Long top-scored with 42.
However, leg-spinner Imran Tahir came to the fore once again for the hosts with a magical spell after the interval.
He claimed 7-37 to leave Little Stoke all out for 82, in which Mick Walley's 19 was the principal contribution.
'I'm thinking about the worst-case scenario. It will be a huge bonus if we play'
There was plenty of tension in the air at Four Trees where hosts Checkley secured a one-wicket win against Caverswall.
Rob King's 83 was ably supported by Owen Price's 31 as Caverswall were bowled out for 179.
That was thanks, in large, to an excellent spell from former England international Kim Barnett, who took 5-22 from 23 overs to keep the visitors' innings on a tight rein.
Nick Bratt was among the wickets, but his Little Stoke side were beaten by champions Norton in Hales.
But it appeared as though Caverswall could be on the brink of celebrating a first success of the season as Danny Cashmore took 4-34.
Chris Bassett made 55 for Checkley, but it required an unbeaten 41 from Andy Carr to see them over the line as Caverswall scented the points.
Betley are up and running thanks to their home victory over Barlaston.
NCCA officials announce further postponements to summer schedule
Rizwan Malik's impressive 102 not out formed the cornerstone of the hosts' 183 all out. Mark Stanyer grabbed 3-42, with double strikes coming from Rashid Shafayat and Ben Grange.
Shafayat struck 33 in reply, with Tom Gray adding 29, but Barlaston couldn't find another hefty contribution and their innings came to an end with the score on 139.
A Mahmood and Mohammad Nawaz claimed 4-49 and 3-24 respectively.


The Washington Post has an interesting article comparing two D.C. schools – one which embraces information technology and one which believes students should only be exposed to it later in their education.
The contrast couldn't be starker: Flint High School starts their students with laptops, WiFi, and interactive whiteboards in grade 5, while students at the Washington Waldorf School use pen and paper until high school. But this does not mean they are stuck in a educational time-warp – the staff are quick to point out that by avoiding the "instant-gratification" that technology often brings, and by learning through real life experiences, student engagement and critical thinking is improved. They point to research that is often inconclusive about the benefits of technology in the classroom.
The article examines studies of the benefits and drawbacks of immersing children in technology and reaches some interesting conclusions. Definitely worth a read.

When you lead a very active life, injuries are bound to happen. Whether you've sprained your ankle playing soccer or threw out your back at the gym, a sports medicine specialist can help you to get the treatment you need to get back to your everyday life. Injuries happen everyday in sports and in everyday life. Even folks who work construction jobs are privy to these types of injuries. When an injury occurs as the result of an activity, it's time to search sports medicine specialist near me.
Ready to find a great sports medicine specialist? Browse the map below and find a comprehensive list of the best doctors in your region. Need more information on this branch of medicine? Read on for facts, trivia, and more!
A sports medicine specialist is a doctor who has undergone years of special training to help bring about function to injured patients so that they can get moving again and back to their regular lives as soon as possible. In addition to treating a wide range of sports related injuries, they are also knowledgeable about helping to prevent illness and injury in patients who lead very active lives. Although many sports medicine specialists work with professional and college level athletes, they also treat children and young adults who are involved in sports and adults who exercise regularly. They also treat individuals who boast physically demanding jobs, such as someone who works construction. While searching sports medicine specialist near me, consider the myriad of ways a sports medicine doctor can help you regain your life.
A sports medicine specialist knows how to treat a wide range of injuries.
Are physical therapists also sports medicine specialists?
Often times when a person is injured due to an activity or sports related injury, they seek the aid of a physical therapist. But is a physical therapist and a sports medicine specialist the same thing? Consider this as you search sports medicine specialist near me. Sports medicine is not necessarily a medical speciality in and of itself. Almost every sports medicine doctor is certified in emergency medicine, internal medicine, family medicine, or another speciality. They then receive additional training to become qualified in sports medicine. Some specialize in treating injuries found only in children in teens, as their growing bodies can vary from those of adults. Generally, a sports medicine specialist is also board certified in pediatrics or family medicine. Some but not all, will also have surgical training. In a nutshell, a physical therapist and a sports medicine specialist are not the same thing, but they do work in conjunction with these specialists to help provide care. A physical therapist will consult with the sports medicine specialist to help rehabilitate patients and recover them from injuries. They are just one link in the chain of healing.
What types of injuries are treated by a sports medicine specialist?
Additionally, a sports medicine specialist can also provide advice on the proper supplements to take, exercise, injury prevention, and nutrition. If you lead an active life and are feeling are feeling a bit unlike yourself, seeking a qualified specialist may be the right fit for you. As you search sports medicine specialist near me, consider all of the reasons why you might need a specialist.
Going to the doctor isn't exactly on the top of anyone's list when it comes to fun things to do, yet its a necessary evil when you sustain a significant injury. When is the right time to see a sports medicine specialist? For starters, if you or your child sustains a significant injury during exercise or sports, its best to seek treatment at an emergency room rather than waiting to see a specialist. Signs of a severe injury include, swelling, numbness, severe pain, inability to put any weight on the injured area, and confusion. If none of these symptoms present themselves, you may be able to simply rest at home and call a healthcare provider at your conveniences. They can eventually refer you to a sports medicine specialist for proper care. Most sports injuries are not life altering and many do not require surgery. Generally, treatment for a sports injury includes a combination of pain relievers and keeping the injured area immobilized. In some cases, surgery may be required in order to properly repair tissue or bones. Physical therapy may also be required in some cases. When injury occurs, search sports medicine specialist near me as soon as possible.


I have been an advocate for Science for the last 10 years. I became involved when I was one of our school's representative at our District's Science Fair. Since then I have become co- director of the Science Fair, which is now our STEM Fair, for 8 years. My position as Co-Director gives me the opportunity to convey the importance of science to each of our School's Representatives in our district. Then in turn, each representative takes it to their own individual schools. I helped put together a clean copy of the NGSS standards to present to the Board of Trustees in our district to adopt the NGSS standards for our new Science curriculum in grades K-5. I have also held the position of being our School's Science facilitator where I have prepared numerous Professional Development on the NGSS standards to all our staff. I have also mentored and modeled scientific teaching methods that teachers can incorporate into their classrooms. I have frequently taken my own classroom into another classroom to model a NGSS lesson for the teacher to give her/him a first-hand experience of watching an actual lesson in action. I modeled the three dimensional lessons using the Crosscutting Concepts, Engineering Process, with the Disciplinary Core Concepts. I have recently incorporated the computer science standards into my own classroom to introduce my students to the world of coding. I feel I am pioneering this field among my colleagues learning all I can to help others continue this practice and become involved with the fast forward pace of the computer sciences.

The Spruce Kings, who claimed the Doyle Cup over the Bandits in six games two weeks prior, suffered their first loss of the tournament to enter Saturday's semi-final 3-1. In a redemption-fuelled victory, the Bandits claimed the top seed and will take on the Ottawa Jr. Senators on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. for a spot in Sunday's championship match. Prince George's semi-final is set for Saturday at 7:00 p.m. against the Oakville Blades, who defeated the Senators 7-4 on Thursday afternoon. Carter Wolski opened the scoring for the Bandits, jamming a lose puck at the side of Logan Neaton's net with 1:23 remaining in the first period. Nick Poisson, who was named the Player of the Game for the Spruce Kings, scored the lone goal with just over a minute to go in the second period to tie it up 1-1. After Lucas regained the lead, Brandon Scanlin dashed any hope for a Prince George comeback, netting a short-handed empty-netter inside the final minute of play to solidify a 3-1 Bandits victory. Neaton stopped 28 of 30 shots in the loss, and Pierce Charleson, who was named the Bandits Player of the Game, allowed one goal on 22 shots. The Bandits are just the sixth host team since the start of the five-team format in 1990 to win all four of its prelim games.

Fundraising concert
On Wednesday 5th November, my class group (Ethan, Grant, Vaka) and I organised a Crashendo fundraising concert.
For our 'Advance' project (where we were required to help a charity organisation) we chose Crashendo, because of the effect that it has made on Laverton College and bringing music to the Laverton community. We had to do something music-related to support Crashendo, so we decided to organise a fundraising concert with the Crashendo orchestra performing and a raffle draw to help raise money.
The concert ran smoothly, apart from the speeches. The audience enjoyed our music, as we had chosen a variety of songs. We chose a classic movie theme – Harry Potter, a modern hit – Viva La Vida and two lovely little tunes. After all the rehearsing, the concert was great and in total we raised $46.30. It was a great success.

Crashendo in 2014 – an overview
Hey everyone! Crashendo here, it has been a fabulous year. We have new Mozart students and we have been playing difficult songs such as Harry Potter. We played in many places with other orchestras such as Pizzicato Effect. We as an orchestra went to excursions without playing but instead listened to beautiful sounds of the violins, viola, cello and double bass. Our tutors Eric, Erica and Susan have been working hard to teach us many things before our concert! December 3rd (hope to see you there!). Most people learnt how to play without fingerings!
We as the Crashendo ambassadors organise things we can do during rehearsals to help us learn to sing and play our instruments.
We want to say thanks to Sharon and all the tutors for their help!
Tyna & Jai
- 2014 Crashendo Ambassadors
At the beginning of this year we welcomed 10 new students to Crashendo to attend on Mondays and Wednesdays. These new students have been learning with strings tutor Rachael and have progressed well. They recently performed as part of our Term 2 concert. They are all doing a fabulous job! Soon they will be joining the full orchestra.
Friday 15th March
On Friday 15th of March the Crashendo Choir travelled again to Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School for a workshop with the PEGS Senior Choir. The excursion was a great success. It gave our Crashendo kids a chance to hear a large, full choir. Our kids performed for the PEGS Choir (and were very well received!) and the PEGS choir performed excerpts from Beauty and the Beast (which the kids loved!). The Crashendo kids also had the chance to stand amongst the older students and sing as a combined choir.
Thanks to our choir teacher Susan, PEGS Choir Director Claire McDonald, Victoria Police for the bus and PEGS Head of Music Peter Chaplin for making the workshop happen.
Wednesday 22nd May
On Wednesday 22nd May, the Crashendo students went on an excursion to the Melbourne Recital Centre in the city. The kids watched a concert performed by Orchestra Victoria and a number of fabulous soloists from the Australian National Academy of Music. The concert featured songs by Mozart and Britten and our students were able to recognise some of the tunes. After the concert, the Melbourne Recital Centre gave our kids the opportunity to ask some of the soloists a few questions. The soloists talked about their instruments and what it is like being a professional musician – lots of practice! Thank you to the Melbourne Recital Centre for giving Crashendo this fabulous opportunity. We even got a mention from the MC up on stage who very much welcomed our students to the performance!
"I learnt some new things to do when I play my violin, like if something goes wrong, don't stop." Connor, Crashendo violinist.
"My favourite part of the excursion was listening to the orchestra play pieces by Benjamin Britten." Kaylani, Crashendo violinist and percussionist.
Thursday 30th May
On Thursday 30th May, the Crashendo students enjoyed another excursion into the city, this time to Iwaki Auditorium. The performance was by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra as part of Education Week. The kids had a great time, especially being able to join in on some songs with voice and body percussion.
Thursday 13th June
On Thursday 13th June, the Crashendo Orchestra and Choir held their Term 2 concert in the Performing Arts Area at Laverton College. The choir performed two pieces – Tina Singu and a medley of Lean On Me/Stand By Me. The orchestra did an amazing job performing Venezuelan Lullaby and Beethoven's 5th Symphony which featured many new techniques. The ten newies performed as well showing how much they have already improved in just two terms! All the students should be very proud of themselves and thanks to a full audience of family and friends. The evening was a great success.
On 28th August 2012, the Crashendo Orchestra travelled to Penleigh & Essendon Grammar School to attend a workshop with the PEGS Orchestra made up of high school students. The kids enjoyed a performance by the senior orchestra then they were able to sit amongst the older musicians and play along side them. Together they rehearsed and performed three songs. It was a great opportunity for our students to hear the music played by such a large group and with many different instruments. Our kids also showed how much they know when answering difficult questions about the music!
Here are some anecdotes written by some of our Crashendo kids -
"Yesterday, we went to PEGS and all of us played music with high school kids. Playing with the big kids was so much fun! It was scary at first but I got used to it." Brianna, Crashendo violinist & percussionist.
"Yesterday, Crashendo went to PEGS to play some music with them. It was great. We got to be in a full orchestra and went in the police bus. I felt happy and excited. Also Erica chose me to say something and this is what I said, 'Um, thank you!'" Sam, Crashendo violist.
"Yesterday, Crashendo went to PEGS and played three songs we had chosen. It felt scary at first but when we got in, it felt better." Rhennay, Crashendo violinist.
There's also a link to the PEGS website where we feature:

On the 5th of December 2012 at 5pm the Crashendo Orchestra and Choir performed their final concert for the year.
This is THE FIRST ORCHESTRA of an El Sistema-based program in Australia and the first full string orchestra at Laverton College!
The program is based on the hugely successful 'El Sistema' ('The System'), developed in the poorest areas of Venezuela, South America.
Tested and successful, this project has been running for over 36 years.
The Laverton Sistema Music Project is a free and inclusive immersion music education program for children, built around the teaching of music via instruments, singing and movement within the context of the symphony orchestras and choirs.
Always encouraging and never berating, it was devised to create a system for social action to socialise and instill a culture of joy and imagination in disadvantaged, depressed communities principally amongst the children of those communities and thence into the communities as a whole.
It assists strongly in the development of children's cognitive skills, self-discipline, concentration and has been shown to enhance literacy and numeracy in children with substantial international research evidence to support it.
We currently have 30 children in the first group to be part of the 'El Sistema' experience ranging from grades 2-5. These students receive 6 hours of free music tuition each week from trained music professionals.
