Private Equity Firm Blackstone Buys Vungle; Tencent Launches Streaming App for WeGame
by	Mathew Broughton on	17th Jul 2019	in	News
TheGamingEconomy's Daily Digest brings you the trending stories in gaming. In today's news: Private equity firm Blackstone buys Vungle; Tencent launches streaming app for WeGame; and Baidu renews partnership with Snap.
Private equity firm Blackstone buys Vungle
Private equity firm Blackstone has announced it is purchasing performance marketing platform Vungle, which serves in-app video ads with publishers including Rovio and Zynga. While the exact terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, sources have informed Techcrunch that the all-cash payment is approximately USD$750m (£602.3m). Vungle, which was founded in 2011, currently serves over 4 billion video views each month.
The deal comes in a time where private equity investment in advertising is on the increase, with in-app identified as a key area of growth. Vungle's presence across mobile gaming, as well as its work with brands on the scale of P&G and Warner Brothers, also helps to explain the initial interest from Blackstone. The deal is expected to be concluded later this year.
Tencent launches streaming app for WeGame
Tencent has launched a streaming app for their PC storefront WeGame, allowing players to stream League of Legends onto their phones, via a WiFi connection. The system differs from similar offerings, such as Valve's Steam Link, in that it does not require additional hardware to play. Further titles are reportedly due to be added to the app shortly, however it is unclear at this stage if and when the capability will be rolled out globally, as it is currently only available in China.
Even before this announcement, mobile streaming services have been undergoing a period of proliferation, with upcoming products including Google Stadia, Bethesda Softworks' Orion and Microsoft's Project xCloud.

Baidu renews partnership with Snap

Under the terms of the deal, Baidu is authorised to act as a reseller of Snap's ad inventory for an undisclosed revenue share tariff.
In a statement on the press release accompanying the deal, Sheng Hu, head of US strategy and partnership at Baidu's global business unit, said, "Our partnership with Snap Inc. provides Chinese companies new avenues to expand their businesses through Snapchat advertising. We look forward to connecting with marketing executives in China and beyond on behalf of Snap to discuss the benefits of these advertising solutions."

Most beautiful caretaker: Brooke Hadley '18
by Anna Staropoli | 11/9/16 1:42am
The communities we are involved in often help form our identities. Yet for Brooke Hadley '18 a pre-existing identity led to her involvement in what she now classifies as her main Dartmouth community.
"My home base community is probably the Native community at Dartmouth," Hadley said.
Originally from Oklahoma, Hadley lived in the Choctaw Nation, near Dallas. Her Choctaw roots transitioned from Oklahoma into her life at Dartmouth.
"Before I came here, I only really knew about or identified with being Choctaw," said Hadley, who entered Dartmouth originally intending to minor in Native American studies. After taking classes in the department, however, Hadley discovered a genuine passion for the subject and is now a Native American Studies major.
"Learning about other tribes' histories and how we all interact as a Native American body in the U.S. has been really interesting," she said.
Previously an Ivy Native Council representative and a member of the NAD executive board, Hadley is actively involved with the Native American community beyond her studies.
Yet Hadley's passion for the Native American community signifies only a small portion of what defines her. In addition to NAD, the Dartmouth Christian community, which Hadley participates in through X.ado and Christian Union and Sigma Delta sorority represent key aspects of Hadley's Dartmouth experience.
"They all obviously provide friendships and support as we're navigating Dartmouth," she said. "But they all contribute to my personhood in different ways."
In her role as a Sexual Assault Peer Advisor and beyond, Hadley demonstrates a clear recognition of the needs of others around her and takes an active role in making sure those needs are met. This initiative is at the root of her character.
"I like to be everyone's mom," Hadley said. "I would consider myself as a leader...I kind of just take charge of things to get them done."
This nurturing leadership surfaces in her daily life. Last weekend, for example, Hadley attended the Ivy Native Council Summit. There, she drove the car and took on responsibilities for the students with her.
"I roll up [in the mini van], and I'm like, 'Children, get in. It's time to go,'" she recounted with a smile.
Accounting for those around her also brings individual fulfillment. This personal satisfaction offers her a main source of joy: She notes that surrounding herself with people she cares about and finding moments to laugh are the main ingredients for her own happiness.
For Hadley, beauty is a matter of confidence in what one does.
"The way I see beauty is in warmth and confidence, so not a sense of being better than anyone else," she said. "Seeing that a woman loves herself and loves the people around her confidently is very beautiful to me."

Now, before we jump to the 30+ Mother's Day Gift Ideas list, I thought it would be fun to share some interesting facts about the U.S. history of Mother's Day. So here are a few facts about Mother's Day in the United States.
Mother's Day officially became a holiday in 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson set aside the second Sunday of May to celebrate mothers. 2014 marks the 100th year anniversary of Mother's Day.
Anna Jarvis is considered the founder of Mother's Day in the United States. She celebrated the first Mother's Day in 1908 to honor her mother, who had organized "Mothers' Friendship Day" in 1868 to promote reconciliation following the end of the Civil War to unite former foes.
By 1920, Anna Jarvis resented the commercialization of the holiday and tried to have it removed as a national holiday. She even crashed events where organizations tried to profit from the holiday. She died penniless and in a sanitorium.
Mother's Day is the year's #1 day for dining out…it even beats Valentine's Day.
Mother's Day is the second largest gift giving day after Christmas & third largest card sending holiday.

About Italy Trails
How to book your journey in Italy
The Puglia Region descends along the heel of the Italian Peninsula, with over 800 km of coastline. It is surrounded by the Adriatic and Ionian seas and is the least mountainous region of Italy, with the Daunia Mountains at the border of Campania and Molise, peaking at just over one thousand meters.
To the south west, Puglia borders Basilicata, with which it shares the Murge plateau, gentle karst hills subject to both underground and superficial erosion, such as sinkholes, ravines, canyons like Gravina di Puglia, and caves, including the famous Caves of Castellana extending about three kilometers underground. The caves with their many chambers, stalactites and stalagmites make the perfect setting to host a theatrical production based on Dante's Inferno, called Hell in the Cave.
Nature, landscapes and cities of art
History fo Apulia
The flavors of Apulia
Puglia can be divided into three historical – geographical districts: Daunia, the Itria valley and Salento.
La Daunia, an ancient sub-region that corresponds to the province of Foggia, boasts Gargano National Park and the Umbra Forest, whose ancient beech woods have been dedicated as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Another Unesco site of the Gargano is the Celestial Basilica of Monte Sant'Angelo, a mystical place, seat of devotion and worship since 490 AD. when, according to legend, the first appearance of the Archangel Michael took place.
But the whole Gargano is considered a sacred place, so much so that it has been nicknamed Montagna Sacra, not only for its places of worship, once pagan and later converted by the Catholic Church, but also for being a place of penitential pilgrimage to the Holy Land and for its naturalistic elements, recurring in many religious traditions.
In the central part of Puglia are the provinces of Bari and Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT) corresponding to ancient Peucezia, so called for being the homeland of the Peuceti who lived there before the Roman conquests.
In Andria you can visit Castel del Monte, a Unesco monument, whose history is linked to the figure of Emperor Frederick II of Swabia.
Bari, an important port city on the Adriatic, is the capital of Puglia. Equipped with one of the major Italian airports, it is also an important economic and industrial center, the main activity of which is the automotive sector with the Bridgestone, Getrag and Bosch plants. It is also an ancient city whose origins date back to the Bronze Age, very rich in historical artifacts of every era. Its delightful historic center is full of alleys, courtyards and historic buildings and has about thirty noteworthy churches. The 11th century Basilica of San Nicola di Myra is still a major destination for Orthodox and Catholic pilgrims.
In the central part of Puglia is the Itria Valley, also known as the Trulli Valley. The trulli are ancient stone buildings surmounted by a conical roof, covered with chiancarelle, typical very hard and dark gray stone tiles. They are an otherworldly site built centuries ago.
The most famous city to view trulli is Alberobello, Unesco World Heritage Site. Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ostuni, lying on gentle rounded hills, boast many Trulli and are worth a visit. The ancient peasant houses are scattered throughout the countryside, giving this area a mystical feeling.
On the Ionian side we find Taranto, cittá dei due mari, founded in the 8th century BC by Spartans who called it Taras. It was once a thriving Greek colony, today you can see ruins of its glorious past like the Doric columns carved from carparo, local limestone, remains of temples dedicated to the Gods, and the Archaeological Museum Marta, among the most important in Italy, which houses a collection of jewelry from the Magna Graecia era, a testimony to the art created in Taranto.
Brindisi is another important city, since Roman times, for its strategic port on the Adriatic, which made Puglia the crossroads between East and West. Subsequently, in medieval times, ships loaded with pilgrims, soldiers and merchants embarked for the Holy Land.
The third geographical historical district is Salento, formerly called Messapia or land between two seas. Lecce, known as the capital of the Baroque, for the style of its palaces and churches, is the capital. Here the baroque explodes in a very particular variation which owes much to the local stone, soft, malleable and with a warm cream color, allowing the artists to create stone work reminiscent of lace.
On the Ionian coast, about 40 km from Lecce, we find Gallipoli, important in the 16th century for the trade in its lamp oil and the ancient Hypogeum oil mills, huge tunnels which are now empty and open to visit. It's historic center is inside a fortification set on an isthmus, like an island castle. Around Gallipoli you can find enchanting Ionian beaches considered the Maldives of Salento.
On the opposite side, on the Adriatic, there is the city of Otranto, the most eastern city of Italy, just 70 km from the coasts of Albania, visible with the naked eye on a clear day.
It was the home of 800 martyrs beheaded by the invading Turks in 1480 who wanted to control the city's strategic position. Their bones still lie inside the cathedral, where they attempted to find refuge during the assault. The cathedral, founded in the 10th century, has been subject to numerous attacks and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The furnishings and artistic treasures have unfortunately been lost due to these raids, but the spectacular floor mosaic finished in 1164 remains, depicting the Tree of Life and stories from the Old Testament.
The last city of the heel of Italy is Santa Maria di Leuca, Finibus Terrae, the end of the civilized world according to the ancient Romans. All along this coast you can find some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Prehistoric Sites
Puglia has a very ancient history and the presence of man dates back to 150,000 years ago, as evidenced by the discovery of Altamura Man, one of the oldest and most complete Neanderthal skeletons found in Europe. Also in the same territory of Altamura, dinosaur remains have been found, dating to 70 million years ago.
More recent but still prehistoric points of interest include dolmens and menhirs, the over 3000 cave paintings inside the Grotta dei Cervi in Porto Badisco and the Archaeological Museum of Ostuni which houses the skeleton of a young woman who died in childbirth about 25 thousand years ago.
Greeks and Romans
Around the first millennium BC it was populated by Illyrian people from the Balkans and subsequently, in the Hellenic era, the Magno-Greek colonies flourished on its territory. Conquered not without difficulty by the Romans, it thrived under their rule as the center for the production of wheat and oil.
The Barbarian Invasions
At the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it experienced a period of darkness and decline. It was occupied by the Eruli and the Ostrogoths and from the 6th to the 11th century it became the domain of the Byzantine Empire but nevertheless suffered the invasion of the Lombards, Franks and Saracens.
Normans and Swabians
In the 11th century it was conquered by the Normans who together with the Swabians Hohenstaufen favored a great material and civil progress that reached its peak under Frederick II, with the construction of extraordinary military and religious buildings, some of great artistic value, such as the famous Castel del Monte in Andria.
From 1282 on it was conquered by many empires until it was finally annexed to the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
Peasant Foods
Despite such a long and troubled history, full of foreign conquests and influences, Puglia remains anchored to peasant cuisine, supported by three unchanging cornerstones: oil, wheat and vegetables.
It can be considered a rather homogeneous cuisine, thanks to the easy communication within the territory due to the lack of mountains. The differences between one subregion and another mainly concern the use of aromas: garlic, used abundantly on the Tavoliere, makes way for the onion, as it descends to the South, as evidenced by the delicious Gallipoli fish soup.
Fish is used as the main ingredient in almost all of Puglia, except in the Foggia area. This has a historical explanation that resides in the aversion of the Dauni, an ancient people of Greek shepherding origins, to navigation.
The typical Apulian cuisine is simple, based on genuine ingredients and strong flavors. This comes from the need of women to put a robust and nutritious food on the table in a relatively short time, in order to feed the whole family and then be able to devote the day to work in the fields.
To use a cinematic metaphor, the aspect it shares with many of Italy's regional kitchens is the depth of field, i.e. the presence of many elements on the scene, but only a few in the foreground while the others remain in the background, this is to favor the exaltation of the taste of the main ingredients and never the confusion or, even worse, the coverage of flavors.
Pasta plays a prominent role, including the orecchiette, the best known. Resembling a small ear and with a thick and calloused consistency, it scoops its ideal seasoning: turnip greens dissolved in oil and garlic together with anchovies for a surprising meeting of flavors called orecchiette alle cime di rapa.
Fish is abundant and of great quality and freshness. From Bari, we taste octopus, raw anchovies, delicious shellfish, and even trash fish that ends up in very tasty soups. The famous mussels of Taranto, covered with breadcrumbs and parsley, cooked in oil, garlic, oregano and tomato. The grilled mullet of Polignano, that oozes a delicious natural sauce that enhances the meat, without need to add anything.
The production of dairy products is also important: cheeses like ricotta, scamorza, pecorino, caciocavallo, provolone and the magnificent burrata with a double consistency, the solid outer layer and the semi-liquid creamy heart. Particularly sought after is the burrata produced around Castel del Monte.
The Apulian winemaking tradition dates back to before the Phoenician era, but it was the phoenicians that imported new vines to the Apulian lands and boosted viticulture. The Greeks continued to expand this practice, but the Romans were the main admirers of these wines, praised by the poet Horace.
The vast and appreciated production that boasts four DOCG and twenty-eight DOC wines, famous worldwide, is due to several factors, not least of which is the fearsome parasite phylloxera, which in the nineteenth century irreparably damaged the vines. From this plague came the opportunity to qualitatively review the production system, returning to ancient production practices as well as introducing new vines.
The mild Mediterranean climate, the hilly terrain and the characteristics of the limestone-clay soils, such as the red Salento soils, favor the production of wines with a strong character and fragrance, such as Negroamaro, Salice Salentino and Primitivo. The siliceous-clayey soils of the Murge plateau give elegance to whites such as Murgia IGT or Bianco di Castel del Monte and body to reds such as Aglianico and Nero di Troia. The tuffaceous-sandy soils of the coast close to the Murge are ideal for the production of Moscato di Trani and Moscato Reale, ideal to accompany delicious almond paste desserts.

Top civil servants will have two components of their salary changed on July 1 following a review, but will not have to face the pay cuts that were imposed on ministers' salaries last year.
Announcing the outcome of a comprehensive review on the salary framework of top civil servants in Parliament yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said the review found current salaries to be at the right level.
"There is no need to raise them or to cut them," he said in response to MP Baey Yam Keng (Tampines GRC), who had asked for an update on the review.
However, two structural changes to the salary will be made.
First, the pension system will be replaced with a long-term retention package for officers in the elite Administrative Service.
No further details were given of the package, but the change is in line with talent retention practices in the private sector and parts of the public sector.
Likewise, judges, the Attorney-General, the Auditor-General and the chairman of the Public Service Commission will have their pension schemes replaced by a gratuity plan.
Both the retention package - to retain officers for leadership and policy continuity - and the gratuity plan are "essentially of the same value" as the pension, Mr Teo said.
Second, their bonus will no longer be based on gross domestic product alone, but will be expanded to include indicators such as the socio-economic progress of middle- and lower-income Singaporeans.
This bonus, called the National Bonus, is the same as the one adopted by those holding political appointments last year.
Mr Teo added that some salary ranges and start points will be adjusted to smoothen out the progression.
He also stressed that the public service will keep paying competitive salaries, but these will lag behind - rather than lead - the market.
The changes are the result of a review by the Public Service Division (PSD) which coincided with the Government's decision in January last year to cut ministers' salaries.
The PSD had engaged Mercer, a global expert on remuneration issues, to conduct the review.
Yesterday, several MPs, including Mr Lim Biow Chuan (Mountbatten) and Ms Denise Phua (Moulmein-Kallang GRC), raised questions about the need for talent retention to go beyond money.
In response, Mr Teo stressed: "The most important motivation for a person to stay in the public service is that he gets happiness out of other people's happiness."
He gave his assurances to Mr Zaqy Mohamad (Chua Chu Kang GRC) that competitive pay did not have to mean these civil servants were disconnected from the ground, as there are avenues for them to stay in touch, like the Our Singapore Conversation and community attachments.
Kelly Services Singapore vice-president Mark Hall said that in replacing pensions with retention packages, the Government is following the course of many private sector firms while still giving staff a financial incentive to stay on.

Gov. signs 3 orders promoting renewable energy
May 15, 20130668
Gov. García-Padilla.
Gov. García-Padilla signs the trio of orders at the Puerto Rico Convention Center Tuesday.
With the intention of promoting the development of alternative renewable energy sources, Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla signed three executive orders Tuesday that establish an orderly plan that will gradually replace Puerto Rico's high dependence on fossil fuel energy sources and set the rules for the use of new energy alternatives for the island.
"Our energy agenda is directed mainly to steer the island toward achieving energy independence and lowering and stabilizing electricity costs," García-Padilla said. "This involves promoting measures to reduce dependence on oil and move quickly to encourage aggressive development renewable and clean technology."
The signing took place at the Puerto Rico Convention Center in Miramar, where a $30 million investment was also announced to install rooftop solar panels. Gestamp Solar is in charge of the project that will create 360 jobs and save the center about $20.7 million in its annual electricity bill.
The first of the trio of executive order establishes a procedure giving priority to renewable energy projects under the condition that — to be approved — they must conserve areas of high ecological value and give priority to agricultural areas.
In addition, these projects must have the infrastructure to connect to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority needed to avoid increasing the cost of electricity to consumers. The order voids the procedure adopted by the Gov. Luis Fortuño administration to circumvent normal procedures for obtaining permits.
The second order creates the Energy Autonomy Council, which will be responsible for enabling the development of a new energy policy that must be able to transcend administrations in office, reach decisions by consensus and integrate public participation, he said.
Representatives from government agencies will have a seat on the council, as well as three qualified citizens appointed by the governor. The newly created agency will also be responsible for preparing a reform for PREPA, with citizen input, which will be presented to the Legislature in the next ordinary session.
The third executive order creates the so-called Electricity Reliability Council, which will be responsible for offering short-term recommendations on how to address technical interconnection challenges that existing renewable energy agreements are dealing with.
"I made a promise to the people to achieve a 20 percent reduction in energy costs by 2015 and we are aiming to get there," García-Padilla said. "And we will do it while promoting the development of renewable energy projects that will allow us to reduce our dependence on oil."

Melia Domingo: Integrating the 8 Keys
By Danny Domingo (SuperCamp Graduate and QLN Intern)
Melia tended to only do things if she had to: socialize, try new things, go to SuperCamp. The program sounded suspiciously like school (not something she wanted to do during the summer), and she didn't think that she was going to take anything away from it… until she attended and saw how relevant the content was to her and how it became part of her life.
The first time Melia heard about SuperCamp was through her grandma, who had sent multiple cousins to SuperCamp in the past. Both her parents and grandparents had decided that SuperCamp would be a good thing for her and her brother to experience. She wasn't initially excited about the idea of going, but as she recalls, "I would do it [SuperCamp] because I knew they already put money into it and I didn't want to waste that. It was also a good opportunity for me to learn, but it wasn't something that I would have willingly done. It was a good thing that I was forced to do it."
On arrival at the Loyola Marymount SuperCamp, Melia had mixed emotions. She knew that she would benefit greatly from the experience and it would help prepare her for high school and college as an entering freshman, but she wanted to be with her family, not with a bunch of strangers who were going to make her do schoolwork over the summer. Once the camp started, she was pleasantly surprised at how much fun the activities and games were. She was able to get to know people through the icebreakers and made friends relatively quickly, and it wasn't at all the summer-school-esque environment that she was expecting. She enjoyed learning all of the skills and strategies for speedreading, communication, and for note-taking because they were applicable for her and she could create better habits from them.
The first SuperCamp icebreaker activity was the one that was the catalyst for change for Melia. All of the campers stood in a line and were presented with a prompt. Depending on if they agreed or disagreed, they would move to opposite sides. She was able to make more connections and start conversations with people knowing that they had similar interests, and now Melia is much more comfortable introducing herself on her own and creating conversation with unfamiliar people in ways she never felt comfortable doing before.
Coming back from summer and making the transition from middle school to high school, she was able to put all of her newly learned skills to use in the classroom, and they helped her out a lot with her academics and her relationships with her teachers. She didn't realize it at first when she came back from SuperCamp, but she unconsciously started to recognize and use the 8 Keys in her everyday life. That alone has helped her to realize that she can make a difference with everyone that she works with just by exhibiting and living the 8 Keys, so that they can see her values and the example she is setting forth.
Melia is grateful that she was able to experience SuperCamp. She can't speak for everyone, but she said, "I came in not really wanting to go, and the reluctance was definitely there. After you go through the process and give it [SuperCamp] a chance, you take a lot back into your life that will help you socially, personally, and academically. I thought that I wasn't going to take anything away from the experience and that I wasn't going to enjoy it at all. Even if you may be reluctant and SuperCamp may be something you don't want to do, just give it a chance because you never know what you are going to learn."

I already watch my distribution account and Capabilities in Xcode and entitlements in them are the same. In what can be problem?
I also get this exception few times when I did something with provisioning profiles or capabilities, In my case its always in iCloudkit (xcode 6) issue, for some reason in app id (if you check in developer center) it assigned invalid or unwanted icloud containers to the app id. So i remove them and only added one correct container to fix this issue.
For me, I didn't do this. I tested the app on the device using the development certificate and the ad-hoc one, Then submitted it using the disruption certificate after making sure that there is nothing wrong with my certificates.

What can I say I love this team . My hygienist the best in town ... shout out !!!!
My daughter is 8 years old and has been going to this office for about a year now . She was terrified of the Dentist , PeArl had always treated her so kingly and gentle she now looks forward to her appointments, a Dental hygienist that is not only knowledgeable but sweet and loves what she does , it's a plus .
My old dentist was not listening to my concerns so I decided to switch. I found Dental Care Association online and I decided to set an appointment. From the first time calling I was treated like family. When I arrived to the office the whole staff was very nice and they took care of me like if they knew me my whole life. Dr. Garcia was very caring and paid close attention to my concern. I went in the following week for my procedure and I finally got the results I was looking for. Thank you Dr. Garcia and staff for taking care of me. I'll keep coming back for all my dental needs from now on.


Asuro, which might sound to you like a samurai name, is an acronym, which stays for: "Another Small and Unique Robot from Oberpfaffenhofen". Developed by AREXX Engineering and DLR - the German Aerospace Centre, it is a unique experience in assembling and programming.
At first glance, Asuro looks like a toy vehicle, but it's much more than that, because you have to build and program it yourself. The package includes all mechanical and electrical parts, as well as a C compiler and an IDE for assembler programming. ASURO is equipped with an Atmel AVR RISC - processor and two independently controlled motors, an optical line-tracer, six collision-detectors, two odometer-sensors, three indicator LEDs and an IR-interface.
My story with Asuro began thanks to one of our junior professors, who organized a zero ECTS lab for the students at one of his lectures. Although, no credits were to be earned from this event, it turned out to be one of the meaningful things I did at the TUHH. The Story In Images can be seen below.
Next Steps: I got an ultrasound extension board, so my Asuro is going to have bat vision capabilities soon.
Starting point - the kit content.
The micro-controller and flash memory slots and the collision-detectors soldered.
Soldering at 363 degrees Celsius.
The small black "circle in square" element on the down edge of the board is the IR-transmitter.
The on-off switch soldered (on the top left of the board).
The optical line-tracer elements are on the bottom of the circuit.
Asuro almost fully equipped - the processor, flash memory and the batteries come next.

Q: mysql query to find overlap in joined tables I have 2 tables; profiles & invoices.
profiles is the main table which has all my people in it.
then some of these people have invoices (individuals can have none, one or more than one invoice). the invoice table has a field 'profileid' which links it to the relevant id in profiles.
the invoice table has a field named 'paid' which says either 'Paid' or 'Unpaid'.
hope thats clear
now I have a search page where one can search all the profiles.
I have 2 checkboxes so you can filter all those that have an invoices paid and all those that have unpaid invoices.
it works fine individually but not together. ie, if you tick box for invoices paid it gives you all profiles who have ever paid an invoice, and if you tick unpaid it gives you all people with unpaid invoices; but if you tick both boxes it gives you 0 results, when it should give you all the people who both have unpaid and paid invoices.
here is my count query:
$query = "SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT profiles.id) AS num FROM profiles
LEFT JOIN invoices ON (profiles.id=invoices.profileid)
AND (invoices.paid='Paid' OR invoices.paid='Unpaid')
WHERE
(
IFNULL(invoices.paid, '') LIKE '$paid%'
AND IFNULL(invoices.paid, '') LIKE '$unpaid%'
);

spent ages on this and can't get it to work, any help is much appreciated.
thanks

A: Its checking if its paid AND unpaid at the same time. Obviously it can never be both!
You will have to use OR or just skip this check in case both options are selected.

A: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT profiles.id) AS num FROM profiles
LEFT JOIN invoices ON (profiles.id=invoices.profileid)
AND (invoices.paid='Paid' OR invoices.paid='Unpaid')
WHERE
IFNULL(invoices.paid, '') LIKE '$paid%'
OR IFNULL(invoices.paid, '') LIKE '$unpaid%'

But a whole different thing is that you shouldn't use interpolated variables (like $paid above) and I find it odd that you have to use LIKE '[...]%' to select the right value. It looks as if the database schema is in a bad shape.

Home / Latest / What is a Wormhole?
"The whole thing is very hypothetical at this point," said Stephen Hsu, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Oregon, told our sister site, LiveScience. "No one thinks we're going to find a wormhole anytime soon."
Einstein's theory of general relativity mathematically predicts the existence of wormholes, but none have been discovered to date. A negative mass wormhole might be spotted by the way its gravity affects light that passes by.
The first problem is size. Primordial wormholes are predicted to exist on microscopic levels, about 10–33 centimeters. However, as the universe expands, it is possible that some may have been stretched to larger sizes.
But more recent research found that a wormhole containing "exotic" matter could stay open and unchanging for longer periods of time.
Exotic matter, which should not be confused with dark matter or antimatter, contains negative energy density and a large negative pressure. Such matter has only been seen in the behavior of certain vacuum states as part of quantum field theory.
"The jury is not in, so we just don't know," physicist Kip Thorne, one of the world's leading authorities on relativity, black holes and wormholes, told Space.com. "But there are very strong indications that wormholes that a human could travel through are forbidden by the laws of physics. That's sad, that's unfortunate, but that's the direction in which things are pointing."
Wormholes may not only connect two separate regions within the universe, they could also connect two different universes. Similarly, some scientists have conjectured that if one mouth of a wormhole is moved in a specific manner, it could allow for time travel.
"You can go into the future or into the past using traversable wormholes," astrophysicist Eric Davis told LiveScience. But it won't be easy: "It would take a Herculean effort to turn a wormhole into a time machine. It's going to be tough enough to pull off a wormhole."
However, British cosmologist Stephen Hawking has argued that such use is not possible.
"A wormhole is not really a means of going back in time, it's a short cut, so that something that was far away is much closer," NASA's Eric Christian wrote.
Although adding exotic matter to a wormhole might stabilize it to the point that human passengers could travel safely through it, there is still the possibility that the addition of "regular" matter would be sufficient to destabilize the portal.

Q: Elegant slicing in python list based on index I was wondering what would be an efficient an elegant way of slicing a python list based on the index. In order to provide a minimal example:
temp = ['a','b','c','d']

index_needed=[0,2]

How can I slice the list without the loop?
expected output
output_list =['a','c']

I have a sense that there would be a way but haven't figured out any. Any suggestions?

A: First, note that indexing in Python begins at 0. So the indices you need will be [0, 2].
You can then use a list comprehension:
temp = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
idx = [0, 2]

res = [temp[i] for i in idx]            # ['a', 'c']

With built-ins, you may find map performs better:
res = map(temp.__getitem__, idx)        # ['a', 'c']

Since you are using Python 2.7, this returns a list. For Python 3.x, you would need to pass the map object to list.

If you are looking to avoid a Python-level loop altogether, you may wish to use a 3rd party library such as NumPy:
import numpy as np

temp = np.array(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
res = temp[idx]

# array(['a', 'c'],
#       dtype='<U1')

res2 = np.delete(temp, idx)

# array(['b', 'd'],
#       dtype='<U1')

This returns a NumPy array, which you can then be converted to a list via res.tolist().

A: Use this :
temp = ['a','b','c','d']

temp[0:4:2]

#Output
['a', 'c']

Here first value is starting index number which is (Included) second value is ending index number which is (Excluded) and third value is (steps) to be taken.
Happy Learning...:)

A: An alternative that pushes the work to the C layer on CPython (the reference interpreter):
from operator import itemgetter

temp = ['a','b','c','d']

index_needed=[0,2]

output_list = itemgetter(*index_needed)(temp)

That returns tuple of the values; if list is necessary, just wrap in the list constructor:
output_list = list(itemgetter(*index_needed)(temp))

Note that this only works properly if you need at least two indices; itemgetter is variable return type based on how it's initialized, returning the value directly when it's passed a single key to pull, and a tuple of values when passed more than one key.
It's also not particularly efficient for one-off uses. A more common use case would be if you had an iterable of sequences (typically tuples, but any sequence works), and don't care about them. For example, with an input list of:
allvalues = [(1, 2, 3, 4),
             (5, 6, 7, 8)]

if you only wanted the values from index 1 and 3, you could write a loop like:
for _, x, _, y in allvalues:

where you unpack all the values but send the ones you don't care about to _ to indicate the lack of interest, or you can use itemgetter and map to strip them down to what you care about before the unpack:
from future_builtins import map  # Because Py2's map is terrible; not needed on Py3

for x, y in map(itemgetter(1, 3), allvalues):

The itemgetter based approach doesn't care if you have more than four items in a given element of allvalues, while manual unpacking would always require exactly four; which is better is largely based on your use case.

"The Hunt"+"The Truman Show"= "CLICHE"
This was a well-preformed audiobook. My only complaint was that it was too short and over too soon. Jeff Hays and Annie Ellicott do an PHENOMENAL performance with this one. I was deeply impressed how smart and quick-witted Calvin was (the main protagonist). "CLICHE" is when you combined "The Truman Show" with "The Hunt". I loved the story and the performance. Jeff Menapace wrote an awesome story, and I can't wait for more.

Uses of Iridium
21 Nov, 2012 uses
Iridium is a chemical element that is part of the platinum metal group. It has an atomic number of 77 and is represented by the chemical symbol Ir. It is a very hard, brittle metal and it is the most corrosive resistant metal on Earth. Even at high temperatures it shows little to no corrosion. Iridium was discovered in 1803 and was named after the Greek goddess Iris due to the many colors of its salts. Iridium is one of the rarest elements in the crust of the Earth with only three metric tons produced per year. Let's take a look at some of the most common applications of Iridium in the world today.
Iridium crucibles are used to grow high quality single crystals. These are used in electronics such as computer memory devices and solid state lasers.
Iridium is also used in vehicle spark plugs.
Iridium is used to create electrodes for the chloralkali process (the electrolyzing of sodium chloride to produce Hydrogen) and other chemical catalysts.
Iridium alloys are used in processes that require resistance to wear such as the multi-poured spinnerets used to create polymer fibres such as rayon.
An alloy of iridium and osmium is used to produce the tips of fountain pens. This alloy is also used in compass bearings and for balances.
Another common use for iridium alloys is in the manufacture of long-life aircraft engine parts
Deep water pipes are made from an iridium-titanium alloy because of its corrosion resistance.
Iridium is also used as a hardening agent in Platinum alloys.
The isotope iridium-192 is used as a source of energy for industrial ?-radiography. This isotope is also used as a source of gamma radiation for the treatment of cancer. It is used in brachytherapy in which a radioactive substance is placed inside or next to the area that needs treatment. It is mostly commonly used to treat prostate, bilary duct and cervical cancer.
Iridium has been used in the construction of the radioisotope thermoelectric generators in unmanned spacecraft such as Voyager, Viking, Pioneer, Cassini, Galileo, and New Horizons. It is used to create a capsule around the fuel in the generator.
Iridium is used as a reflective material in x-ray telescopes such as the ones in the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
It also has uses in the field of particle physics. It is used to produce antiprotons. Iridium is used to construct the conversion target due to it's high resistance to the energy shockwaves.

Jury selection begins in mother, fetus killing
Prosecutors: Woman was desperate to give boyfriend a son
Posted: September 17, 2012 10:53 PM
MILWAUKEE — Jury selection is expected to resume Tuesday in the trial of a Milwaukee woman accused of killing a young mother by cutting her full-term fetus from her womb.
Annette Morales-Rodriguez has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the October 2011 deaths of Maritza Ramirez-Cruz and her fetus, a boy.
Attorneys questioned about 50 people on Monday and planned to finish narrowing down the pool to 12 jurors plus two alternates Tuesday. Opening statements and witness testimony are also expected Tuesday.
Prosecutors said Morales-Rodriguez had miscarriages and was desperate to give her boyfriend a son. They said she faked being pregnant, panicked as her supposed due date approached and settled on a plan to attack an expectant mother and raise the yet-unborn child as her own.
Ramirez-Cruz left behind a husband, two young daughters and a young son. She was 23 when she died.


Whenever I tell this story, there is an element of it which makes it an ongoing prayer for the person who became my friend for a short time. As I write this I'm reading "Walk Across the Room" by Bill Hybels, and I remembered this and another incident that were a lot like the examples he relates in the book.
We lived in Grand Rapids Michigan, had our five children, and our full size GM window van was ailing, so I set out to search for a replacement. In that search, in a run down area of town on a major route, I spotted a Dodge Caravan for sale at a used car dealership called Pyramid Auto sales. I had a look and spoke with a younger Arabic man about the features and price of the vehicle. It was a good price, and the salesman gave a verbal three month guarantee of the vehicle. It was a situation that almost fell into the "If it's too good to be true – run away" category. But I was drawn by the vehicle and the feeling of authenticity or honesty I picked up from this salesman.
I bought the vehicle. As we were writing up the deal, I noticed a plaque with some arabic writing on it, and asked him what it was. "Those are quotes from the Quran" he said. That led to some small talk questions from me about what Muslims did with Christmas, since it was that time of year.
I have to admit I was stunned and completely unprepared. And I was a Seminary student! Shame on me and my education, I sometimes feel. I fumbled something about maybe that it was because his religion, like so many others, had people believing they could earn Allah's favour by doing things. I think I even used the words 'works righteousness' which adds to my embarrassment. I tell you, it felt really really feeble, and I felt and still feel it was a missed opportunity. Who expects a car repair to turn into a cross-religious pastoral visit? I do now, more. But not then. By the time I had my mind and spirit on track with what was happening the mechanic had the van ready. I quickly asked Alah Abda if he would be willing to help me learn about Islam. I was in an Apologetics class at seminary in which one of the paper options was to do a side by side compare-contrast of two world religions, so I thought I could do two things at once – keep talking to my new friend and get material for the paper. He promised to get me some information, and invited me to visit the mosque on Friday for prayer.
The visit to the mosque is a story for another time. It was tougher than any test at Seminary! But the disappointing thing was that I never was left alone with my new buddy after that. I began to drop by for all kinds of reasons, but I was never able to be alone with him. I had a distinct feeling the rest of the workers had been instructed to keep a close guard on this person who was 'weak' in the faith.
The "works righteousness" line brought a smile. But what a profound statement from him! Of course, many self-identified Christians might say the same things … so humility is still the order of the day.


Since the baby is fed by your blood supply, and your enlarging reproductive organs require more blood flow, the amount of blood must also increase. Blood volume expands 25 to 40 percent.
To pump an increased amount of blood around the body, your heart must work slightly harder. The heart pumps more blood per beat and beats slightly faster. Heart murmurs attributable to the increased flow through the heart may develop.
The blood vessels are also affected by pregnancy. The enlarging uterus presses on veins in the pelvis, increasing the pressure in the veins that bring blood up from the legs. This increased pressure causes the leg veins to enlarge, producing varicosities (areas of enlargement). The pressure may also cause fluid to leak out of the veins and into the tissues, causing swelling of the feet and ankles. Late in pregnancy, the uterus can also compress a major vein in the abdomen, the vena cava, when you lie on your back; if this occurs, blood is prevented from returning to the heart, and a feeling of faintness may result.
The enlarged uterus also changes your digestive system during pregnancy. This affects your urination and digestion, and contributes to the well-known hunger cravings. Read about changes in the digestive system during pregnancy next.

Egg Ornament-Orbix Hot Glass
These egg-shaped blown glass ornaments from Orbix Hot Glass are a stunning addition to your decorations!
Since 2002, Orbix Hot Glass has distinguished itself by its refined handmade glassware and its connections with those who appreciate clean designs, dependable service, and excellent quality in a small studio and gallery business. For owners Cal and Christy Breed, Orbix emerged as an idea in the late 1990's, though it bore no name. For many years leading up to this point, Cal studied at schools around the country, gleaning as much knowledge and technique from some of the best in the world. Deciding where to plant a glass studio was not a difficult decision; Alabama was home, with all its charm and subtle graces. As plans were lain, equipment was built, and property was sought, the reality became evident that it would take a lot of great people to make it a success. Though the task of opening and running an art business was and remains trying at times, the encounters with so many others provides joy and fascination. Today, Orbix resides on 26 acres bordering Little River Canyon National Preserve, just a few miles from where Cal and Christy met and spent many days scaling the steep cliffs, or paddling the turbulent waters. Evidence of this landscape whispers through the Orbix collection, as it always remains a backdrop of the studio. Today, we strive to make honest, excellent work that someone would invite into their life. Cal leads a team of glassblowers who hand-craft each piece with great attention to form, balance and color.

Immigrant Ancestors Arrivals
Family Tree Editors August 20, 2008 updated on August 18, 2017
"Ellis Island" and "immigrant" have become synonymous. But not all immigrants entered America through the famous federal immigration facility in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.

"Ellis Island" and "immigrant" have become synonymous. But not all immigrants entered America through the famous federal immigration facility in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.
The federal government didn't even start keeping track of immigrant passenger arrivals until 1820. A number of references, however, do compile state and local lists of arriving immigrants. For a guide to these and other tips on tracing your immigrant ancestors, see the December 2000 issue of Family Tree Magazine.
From 1855 to 1890, some 8 million immigrants via the Port of New York came through Castle Garden at www.nps.gov/cacl/. These records, along with those dating from 1820, are available on microfilm at the National Archives and Records Administration at www.nara.gov, 700 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20408, and its 13 regional offices. Copies of the microfilm are also available from the Family History Library at www.familysearch.org and its local Family History Centers nationwide. Pre-Ellis Island records are indexed only from 1820 to 1846, however. (This is important because not all the other ports are completely indexed pre-Ellis Island.)
Ellis Island opened in 1892 and served during the peak years of US immigration, until 1924, when immigration processing was moved abroad under the direction of US consulates. If you're not sure whether your ancestor came through Ellis Island and thus is included in the new database at www.ellisislandrecords.org, your family's ethnicity offers a good clue. Though Ellis Island welcomed immigrants from everywhere, it opened after the largest influx from Germany, Scandinavia, Great Britain and Ireland. And by 1900, emigrants from Austria-Hungary, Italy and Russia had supplanted northern Europeans as the chief sources of new Americans. Immigrants from these three nations alone made up 75 percent of the Ellis Island traffic in its busiest year, 1907, when more than 1 million came through.
In short, if your ancestors came from eastern or southern Europe, the odds are good they're among the 17 million in the new Ellis Island database. Keep in mind, though, that New York was the largest but not the only doorway into America. From 1910 to 1940, 250,000 mostly Asian immigrants entered through the "Ellis Island of the West" in San Francisco, Angel Island at www.angelisland.org. Boston and Baltimore were other popular ports. Passenger arrival lists for these alternate destinations are kept at the National Archives.

Over the weekend prior to the 2018 IEEE PES general meeting in Portland, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Washington State University (WSU) hosted a workshop on "Real-time Data Analytics for the Resilient Electric Grid". At this workshop there were some great discussions and ideas on how data analytics can help with the challenges of addressing grid resiliency. This is closely tied to one of the 10 big ideas for the future of NSF https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/ called Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR).
The invited workshop participants came from across the power system industry, academic community, and data scientists from outside of the power systems industry. The workshop was structured so that the first day was an opportunity for participants to present and share their related work in a series of presentations. The second half day included brainstorming breakout sessions on specific subtopics.
From the presentations it became clear that there are some very promising areas where data analytics and associated research has already yielded results. For instance, the adoption of phasor measurement units in the industry over the last decade has yielded a large pool of data that is being leveraged for research and even making it into vendor solutions being used by utilities. Another practical application that was presented by two researcher projects was the applicability of data analytics to optimizing electric vehicle charging.
The final portion of the workshop was breakout sessions for brainstorming on challenges that data science can address in the areas of improving grid resilience. I won't describe here the list of all the ideas that came up, for one thing I couldn't do justice to many of them.
I firmly believe that data science can reduce the need for power systems controls to rely on highly accurate network models. I have spent many years helping utilities build and leverage power system models used in EMS, DMS and OMS implementations. These network models are used by the software algorithms in these systems to optimize the dispatch of generation, minimize losses, and restore power faster, to name just a few applications. The biggest challenge in these implementations is cleaning up network models to get them to a point where they are accurate enough to produce the desired results.
Often when I hear of a failed, or massively over budget implementation of an EMS, OMS or DMS, the root cause is the unforeseen cost in getting the network model clean enough to support the algorithms so they don't suffer from the age-old problem of garbage in, garbage out.
Some data scientists appear to have suggested to the seasoned power system engineers that algorithms and solutions based upon the physics of the system are no longer needed and that machine learning can replace all of these applications that have been developed over the last century. I do agree that leveraging pure machine learning based solutions might be a reasonable approach for a subset of the problems in the industry. In fact, there have been some great solutions in the industry such as Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) projects that have been successfully implemented without any power system model based algorithms used. These create great business cases due to the low initial costs to deploy the solution.
However, where things get really exciting is that there is some good research actively being pursued towards finding ways to combine the two approaches into a hybrid solution that is better than either alone. The biggest improvement will be if we can find approaches to some of these optimization problems that use both machine learning and power systems models, but don't require years of effort to clean up the power system model. This work, while promising, faces some big challenges to make it to practical industry solutions. These include, the continued funding of the promising areas of research, replicating the research so that it is sound and proven in an academic setting, then crossing a big chasm of proving it to the industry practitioners and finally getting it to vendors who can develop, productize, sell and support solutions. These challenges are formidable, and I hope the NSF, the academic community, and most importantly the industry work together to address them.
