Q: Analysis of 3 stage common source ring oscillator I have been attempting to analyze the following common source ring oscillator:

I am having some trouble here. Based on my understanding, each stage of the FETs provides 270 degrees of phase shift total. 180 from the inverting common source, and 90 from a pole due to the capacitor. In order to oscillate we need 360 degrees total. With only two stages of the CS FETs, the necessary phase shift for oscillation is there but would be stable at either rail. Why would it still be stable?
Now, at 3 stages, the circuit oscillates provided the gain of each stage is greater than or equal to 2. Can someone explain this as well? I do not understand why it is 2 instead of one, nor can I seem to understand the math behind this.

A: For a stable DC bias point we need at zero Hertz a phase shift of -180deg. This is ensured because we have three inverting stages in a closed loop (number n of stages is odd).
According to the Barkhausen criterion we need in total -360 deg (identical to zero deg) for a certain frequency. For this purpose, we have three 1st order lowpass stages - each with a cut-off frequency at app. \$wc=1/R_DC_L\$.
Hence, the oscillation criterion is fullfilled for another additional phase shift of -180deg at the desired frequency wo.
That means: Each stage must contribute -60 deg. - and the oscillation frequency is somewhat larger than the cut-off (which gives only -45 deg).
Comment: The mentioned -90deg per stage is achieved at infinite frequencies only.

A:
Additionally, according to the Barkhausen criterion, the loop gain should be somewhat greater than 1 to ensure oscillation. Why is it that this circuit requires the loop gain to be greater than or equal to 2?

At the frequency of oscillation, each R-C network shifts the signal 60 degrees.  Also at the frequency of oscillation, each C has an impedance that forms a voltage divider with its R.  The three attenuations compound, and the circuit must provide gain to get the loop gain above 1.
A common configuration for a phase shift oscillator is one transistor or opamp with three R-C stages in a series between the collector and base (or output and input).  In this circuit, the amplifying device must be configured for a voltage gain of 26 to compensate for the three R-C attenuators.

Does not come as a surprise. China's actions today imitates Nazi-Germany's of the 20th century. China is the biggest threat to democracies around the world, and with the US having a transactional president (who respects Xi), this threat will only go north. For democracies to survive the onslaught of China's imperial ambitions, a long term strategy is needed, where like-minded countries join forces and device tactics to clip China's wings of authoritarianism. What China needs today urgently is what we've already got. Multi-party democracy, freedom, rule of law, amongst a variety of other things.
China is the biggest threat to democracies around the world, and with the US having a transactional president (who respects Xi), this threat will only go north.
Article makes the point that the biggest threat to the CCP is a free press.
What this forray into media is going to do is temper the anti-China sentiment going around which is bad for business.
Article also goes on to say a lot of money is being invested but if it doesn't get watched to the extent other publications attract then its long term intent will be muted.
Whether China will follow the same path as Russian media and not be any better or they do something different and try to get into the league of Al Jazeera which has been going over twenty years now.
It does well for all ethnic Asians too. A lot of people who say they hate the Chinese government actually just hate Asians. Too much negative portrayal feeds their confirmation bias.
A lot, in 1000s, of ethnic Chinese have travelled to India to set-up their business, buy properties, build houses, live a free life, breathe in free democratic air, vote for people they want to be in the government, even have a temple of Goddess Kali - in which they serve and pray everyday @ Kolkata. This is the same story worldwide, in free democratic countries. US, UK, Canada, EU, Australia, New Zealand, everywhere.
Col OOE, who is ethnic Chinese, is loved by many, not just in WAB, but across boards. He commands that kind of respect and he gets it.
Dislike for the CPC for its acts of commission and omission, which is portrayed openly in the media now, is not dislike for the common Chinese. You're yet to figure that out, yet.
FYI, w.r.t propaganda, the CPC and the PA are miles ahead when it comes to other countries in Asia.
If you plan on visiting India in the near future, give me a shout. I'll take you around, and you can see for yourself the views on the ground. Common people are the same everywhere. But, there's this doubt. If living in a free society that New Zealand offers hasn't changed your views, nothing will.
What can the average Chinese do though in an authoritarian govt ?
They don't get to vote on policy.
China is govern by law not rule of law so no public challenge on laws is possible.
The problem is, Not many people have the self-awareness to separate 2 closely associated entities at the sub-conscious level. It's just like Islamophobia. Haters say they hate Muslims, when in fact they also hate brown people.
Just look at the comment section of any Youtube video about the Chinese government. There's bound to be something along the lines of "Chinese are cancer."
I once heard a Taiwanese trying to gain respect by distancing himself from the Chinese government, still got called a ching chong.
According to some reports, 2.5 million Uighurs are in what the CPC call re-education camps. So, all Chinese hate Muslims? What BS. I said it before, common Chinese/Indian/American/European people are more concerned about where their next meal is going to come from.
So, the comments were directed at the CPC, but were labelled as 'Chinese'. Comparing random youtube comments as hate for the Chinese people is wasting your own time. You have not seen the hate generated against Indians in youtube, or Pakistanis. Even Americans. There are always people who have a lot of free time on their hands, and they use it to post nasty comments. That's it. If that affects you, then only you lose. I'd suggest you ignore those.

If one looks at the religion of victims of terrorism in India, 5% would be innocent muslims in a largely Hindu majority country. I'm not saying there are no bad muslims, which is a different argument altogether. At the end, it's all about power consolidated in the hands of a few. Power=money, whichever way one looks at it.
880 Billion dollar or 60 Lakh Crore scam ?!?!

Андре Матаде Матсангаисса (; 18 марта 1950, Ширара — 17 октября 1979, Горонгоза) — мозамбикский военный и политик, активный участник войны за независимость и гражданской войны. Дважды репрессировался властями ФРЕЛИМО — по уголовному и политическому обвинению. Бежав из лагеря, организовал при родезийской поддержке антиправительственный партизанский отряд. Основатель и первый лидер антикоммунистического повстанческого движения РЕНАМО. Убит в бою с правительственными войсками.

Конфликт с ФРЕЛИМО. Арест и освобождение

Армия и лагерь
Родился в небольшом городе Ширара провинции Маника. В 20-летнем возрасте, будучи мозамбикским националистом, присоединился к движению ФРЕЛИМО. Прошёл военную подготовку на базе в Танзании. Лично знал Самору Машела и других руководителей ФРЕЛИМО. Участвовал в войне против португальских колониальных властей. После провозглашения независимости Мозамбика 25 июля 1975 года получил офицерское звание и стал армейским интендантом в городе Дондо (провинция Софала).

Андре Матсангаисса быстро перешёл в оппозицию к однопартийному режиму Саморы Машела: Preto escravização do preto — «Чёрные порабощают чёрных». В сентябре 1975 года он был обвинён в хищении строительных материалов и заключён в «лагерь перевоспитания» Сакузе близ города Горонгоза. Возможно, обвинение имело под собой основания. Однако сторонники Матсангаиссы утверждают, что на него возложили ответственность за преступления старших офицеров. В заключении Матсангаисса окончательно разочаровался в режиме ФРЕЛИМО.

Начало повстанческой борьбы
В октябре 1976 Матсангаисса бежал из лагеря и пробрался в Южную Родезию. Там он установил связь с радиостанцией Голос Свободной Африки, которой руководил Орланду Криштина. Матсангаисса встретился с Криштиной и заявил, что единственный способ изменить ситуацию в Мозамбике — «борьба силой рук», которую он намерен вести. Вернувшись в Мозамбик, Матсангаисса сформировал вооружённую повстанческую группу из примерно 150 человек и начал партизанскую борьбу в джунглях. Отряд Матсангаиссы отличался упорством в боях и жестокостью в расправах.

В декабре 1976 года он был вновь арестован и заключён в Сакузе — уже за антиправительственную деятельность.

В 1975—1979 шло вооружённое противостояние между марксистским режимом Саморы Машела в Мозамбике и родезийским правительством Яна Смита. ФРЕЛИМО активно поддерживал движения ЗАПУ Джошуа Нкомо и ЗАНУ Роберта Мугабе. В ответ родезийский спецназ наносил удары по объектам в Мозамбике. 6 мая 1977 года родезийцы захватили лагерь Сакузе и освободили заключённых. Андре Матсангаиссу доставили в Солсбери.

Создание РЕНАМО. Вооружённая борьба
Первоначально родезийцы не поддерживали идею антикоммунистической партизанской войны в Мозамбике. Они с недоверием относились к самостоятельным инициативам африканцев. Однако авторитетный оперативник Орланду Криштина сумел убедить в целесообразности проекта. Организацию антикоммунистического повстанчества — Мозамбикское национальное сопротивление (РЕНАМО) возглавил Матсангаисса, доказавший свои умения в 1976 году.

Массовое недовольство населения Мозамбика политикой режима способствовало притоку в РЕНАМО. Важную роль играла и активная поддержка со стороны родезийской армии и спецслужбы. Особенно активная вооружённая борьба развернулась в провинции Софала. В 1979 году Мозамбикское национальное сопротивление уже совершало масштабные атаки на правительственные войска и партийно-государственные объекты. Матсангаисса лично участвовал в боях и 17 октября погиб под Горонгозой.

После гибели Матсангаиссы во главе вооружённых формирований РЕНАМО стал полевой командир Афонсу Длакама. Политическим секретарём являлся Криштина до своей гибели 17 апреля 1983 года (обстоятельства его убийства в Претории остаются непрояснёнными). С весны 1983 военно-политическое руководство РЕНАМО сосредоточилось в руках Длакамы.

Наследие и память в современном Мозамбике
Гражданская война в Мозамбике продолжалась до начала 1990-х годов и являлась одним из элементов глобальной Холодной войны. Режим ФРЕЛИМО опирался на поддержку СССР, РЕНАМО получала помощь из Родезии (до 1980), потом из ЮАР (до 1989) и от Всемирной антикоммунистической лиги. После политической реформы в Мозамбике и Римского соглашения 1992 года между Афонсу Длакамой и Жоакимом Чиссано РЕНАМО стала легальной оппозиционной партией. Длакама несколько раз баллотировался в президенты, входил в состав Государственного совета.

В 2007 году одна из площадей Бейры переименована в площадь Матсангаиссы. В Бейре и Софале в целом РЕНАМО пользуется наибольшей поддержкой, Андре Матсангаисса считается здесь национальным героем. С другой стороны, сторонники ФРЕЛИМО — несмотря на официальный статус РЕНАМО и Длакамы — по-прежнему называют Матсангаиссу «террористом», «уголовником» и «родезийским агентом».

UNSC threatens to stop supporting Sudan-S. Sudan border mechanism, reduces Abyei force
May 16, 2017 MEO Staff Sudan
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Monday has decided to reduce Abyei force and warned it may withdraw its support to the Sudan-South Sudan border monitoring force if they continue to impede the activation of the operation.
The 15-member body unanimously adopted the resolution 2352 (2017) which provides extending until 15 November 2017 the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force for Abyei (UNISFA).
Also, the Council decided to reduce UNISFA's troops from 5,326 to 4,791, marking the first change in the Force's troop levels since 2013. Further, it urged the two countries to resume direct negotiations in order to agree on a final settlement of the Abyei question.
The resolution drafted by the U.S. reiterated concerns about persistent delays and stalled efforts to operationalise the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM) which the two countries agreed in the Cooperation Agreement of September 2012.
The Council "takes note that continued investment in achieving full operational capability of the JBVMM should be based on a set of conditions, including resolution of the dispute over the SDBZ, and calls upon the Government of Sudan and the Government of South Sudan to make timely and effective use of the JBVMM, JPSM and other agreed joint mechanisms to ensure the security and transparency of the SDBZ, including the "14 Mile Area," said the resolution.
The Security Council went to decide that UNISFA's support to the monitoring mechanism will be ended within six months unless the two countries activate the border monitoring mechanism.
"Decides that this extension of the mandate modification set forth in resolution 2024 (2011) shall be the final such extension unless both parties demonstrate through their actions clear commitment and steadfast guarantees for implementation of the JBVMM," reads the resolution.
The JBVMM is intended to monitor the Sudan-South Sudan border, in line with the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone (SDBZ) the two countries agreed to establish in the cooperation agreement.
But, the JBVMM was suspended on 22 November 2013 following South Sudan's withdrawal from the mission.
Michele Jean Sison, the United States Deputy Representative to the United Nations hailed the adoption of the resolution. She further regretted that Sudan and South Sudan had yet to take the steps necessary to make the Mechanism fully operational.
"Five years of obstacles to deployment […] is enough," she said, adding "The status quo must be questioned when the status quo is not working,".
The Sudanese Ambassador Magdi Ahmed Mofadal Elnour blamed the South Sudan for delaying the implementation of the cooperation agreement and Abyei interim intuitions.
On the joint monitoring body, he declared: "We have never restricted the movement of this Mechanism." He was pointing to the UN Secretary general report which said that the JBVMM had cancelled 18 air patrols due to delayed approval by South Sudan.
He further called on Juba to implement the temporary arrangement for the administration of Abyei and all provisions in the 2012 cooperation agreement. He further renewed accusation that South Sudan continue, instead, to harbour rebel groups in South Kordofan, Blue Nile and Darfur.
South Sudan's Ambassador Joseph Moum Malok said that the withdrawal of support for the JBVMM would negatively impact the cooperation agreement between South Sudan and Sudan, emboldening each side to take a more combative posture along the border, he cautioned, pointing out that ceasing support could lead to proxy fights.
He further pointed to the need fill the "vacuum of State responsibility", and called on the international community to provide the need support adding it is "urgently needed to stabilise the situation in the area and create a conducive environment for a more constructive and fruitful dialogue on the future of Abyei."
In line with the 2005 peace agreement, the residents of the disputed area have to hold a referendum to determine whether Abyei will remain part of the Sudan or join the South Sudan. But the two countries failed to agree on the participation of the Misseriya pastoralists who reside there several months every year.

HyTEPS locates in hub Catalyst on TU/e Campus
Home News HyTEPS locates in hub Catalyst on TU/e Campus
On February 1, 2021, HyTEPS opened its new hub Catalyst hub on the TU / e Campus. This international company specializes in Power Quality - the quality of voltage and current.
"Due to the strong growth of our activities and our technical team, the existing office was no longer sufficient," says Jorlan Peeters, Managing Director of HyTEPS. "We did not want to give up that unique location, a historic building in the center of Gemert, the village where the company has been located since its founding in 2007."
It was decided to open a second office. The choice quickly fell on the Twice hub Catalyst on the campus of Eindhoven University of Technology, located in the heart of the Brainport Region. Both Brainport Eindhoven Region and Twice stimulate growth and development of innovation and technology, offering plenty of opportunities for networking and collaboration. "This new office in Eindhoven brings us closer to companies for whom our support is very important, or even essential," continues Jorlan.
The new location in Eindhoven is easily accessible and the company is now in the immediate vicinity of potential future interns and employees. In addition to the Bachelor's and Master's programs in Electrical Engineering, the campus also houses the Fontys Nexus building, which houses three institutes in the domain of Technology and Innovation. By being located close to these training institutes, HyTEPS expects to be able to take the collaboration to a higher level.
Jorlan: "This is how we want to increase the knowledge level of students in our specific field - Power Quality. Not only from theory, but precisely from our practical knowledge. HyTEPS has been working closely with prof.dr.ir. J.F.G. Cobben, part-time professor of Power Quality in the Electrical Energy Systems research group at the TU / e Electrical Engineering group. Together we bring theory and practice closer together to increase knowledge and obtain more in-depth insights. "
"We aim to grow our team with at least three new technical employees per year in order to continue to meet the continuously increasing demand for our expertise in the field of Power Quality."

Wall Street was set to open lower on Friday as caution mounted ahead of a high-stakes US-China trade meeting at the G20 Summit, whose outcome would determine if the trade war that has roiled financial markets would abate or worsen.
Futures, however, gave up some losses after Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said he would be surprised if Saturday's dinner between US President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping "wasn't a success".
Markets have faced conflicting headlines in the run up to the two-day meeting of 20 industrialized nations in Buenos Aires, where all eyes would be on the trade talks between the world's two largest economies that have imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of each other's imports.
President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was close to making a deal but was not sure if he wants to do it, while news that Trump's hardline trade adviser Peter Navarro, will attend the meeting between Trump and Xi, added to worries.
"People don't want to get too optimistic heading into a meeting, because the president is kind of a wild card," said Robert Pavlik, chief investment strategist and senior portfolio manager at SlateStone Wealth LLC in New York.
"You don't know how tough he'll be with this meeting and these negotiations."
So far this week, dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and the latest Fed minutes have helped the benchmark S&P 500 rise 4 percent, setting it on course to post its biggest percentage gain in nine months.
At 8:46 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 86 points, or 0.34 percent. S&P 500 e-minis were down 7.25 points, or 0.26 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 10.75 points, or 0.16 percent.
General Electric shares fell 2.4 percent in premarket trading after the Wall Street Journal reported several former employees told the US securities regulator the company failed to acknowledge worsening results in the insurance business.
Marriott International Inc dropped 4.1 percent after the company said a guest reservation database of its Starwood Hotel brand was breached, potentially exposing information on about 500 million guests.
HP Inc rose 1.5 percent after its quarterly revenue beat analysts' estimates on Thursday, driven by growth in its personal systems business.

Q: finding shortest way possible in a matrix on google challenge I have been trying these google challenges and got stuck on this one. I have written some code to solve the problem, It is giving me correct results but there is one hidden test that I am failing and I have been thinking about it and cannot find the answer. I tried to give an integer answer to verify and found out that answer should be 66. but for some reason I am unable to find where I have made a mistake. As a self learing new programmer any help would be appreciated. looking for ideas to make my code more efficient also any ideas on what could be the problem with the hidden test.
Write a function solution(map) that generates the length of the shortest path from the station door to the escape pod, where you are allowed to remove one wall as part of your remodeling plans. The path length is the total number of nodes you pass through, counting both the entrance and exit nodes. The starting and ending positions are always passable (0). The map will always be solvable, though you may or may not need to remove a wall. The height and width of the map can be from 2 to 20. Moves can only be made in cardinal directions; no diagonal moves are allowed.

print(solution(Map))

However I would like to do one more thing in the code in future.
Calculate the path from start to finish and save distances to all the nodes and then do the same from Finish to start.
Then remove walls that have a path on more than one of its sides add the distances of neighbours:
new solution to maze = neighour 1 dist from start + neighbour 2 dist from finish + 1 extra step to cross the removed wall
this will give a same result but program won't have to search the whole path everytime but  just twice in the beginning.


God has been communicating His will and word through dreams since the Creation.
In Genesis, He sealed His covenant with Abram after he had fallen into a deep sleep (Gen. 15:12-21). Jacob the patriarch marveled at the ladder from heaven to Earth, where angels ascended and descended, and he called the place Bethel, the "house of God" (Gen. 28:10-19). Daniel had "understanding in all kinds of visions and dreams," (Dan. 1:17). His gift from God promoted him above all the other as he was "made ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon" (Dan. 2:48).
Dreams were pivotal in the birth Jesus. It was through a dream that Joseph learned Mary had conceived Jesus by the Holy Spirit, and he obeyed a series of dreams which spared their lives (Matt. 1:20, 2:13, 19, 22).
On the Day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter quoted Joel 2:28-32 saying that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was a fulfillment of that prophecy. Tongues, prophecy, dreams and visions are the outpouring of the wonderful Holy Spirit who is the promise from the Father to His children (Luke 24:49).
God still speaks in dreams today. When I was in India on a short-term mission exposure trip, I met a young woman who had been a Muslim. During a Ramadan fast, Jesus appeared to her in a dream and she became a Christian. She had to run away from home as her father persecuted her for her newfound faith and she fearlessly began to preach the gospel.
1. Search the Scriptures. If there is a theme or topic gleaning from your dream, then study this in the Bible. Or if there were metaphors and symbols in your dream, look these up in the Bible, using a concordance and Bible dictionary as needed. Once I dreamed of armies in perfect formation and soldiers within the army were blowing trumpets, so I searched every passage of Scripture related to trumpets and learned a lot as my understanding of the Scripture increased. We are to rely on Scripture as this is central to the interpretation and application of our dreams.
2. Seek God's face when you receive a dream that has a profound impact on you. A deep and lasting impression is on you, not only when you wake, but as you go throughout your day and week. It is with these dreams that you are to seek God in prayer. Present it to Him and seek for His loving answers. When I was 18 I had a profound dream where I was standing in the middle of a paved road. In one direction, I saw the road got worse with potholes, and the further I looked the sky was darker. Then, in the other direction, the road got better, the trees were lush and green, and the skies were beautiful. This was God guiding me to choose His way or the world's way. It impacted me so much that I made life-changing decisions to surrender to Him completely.
3. Record your dream. Write it out. If you are artistic feel free to draw it, paint it or design it on the computer. Whatever it takes for you to record the dream, do this prayerfully. Jeremiah 23:28 says, "The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream. And he who has My word, let him speak." One of the purposes of God-given dreams is to make Him known. Our recording the dream may help someone out later on and we should return to it from time to time to review and pray through it.
4. Obey what God says in your dream. The dream has to confirm and affirm the Word of God. As we abide in His grace and love under the new covenant of Jesus, obedience is key to His guidance and continue to pursue the presence of the Lord. If we are to share the dream, then we humbly submit it to our leaders. If we are to keep it to ourselves then we are to intercede into it. God will give the interpretation because as we approach Him with it He will answer, as the Scripture says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter," (Prov. 25:2). Searching for the meaning of the dream and obeying Him is all part of your adventure with God.

Nick Marsh named Anna Maria coach
More news about: Anna Maria | Castleton | Hiram | Wabash
PAXTON, Mass.—Anna Maria College Director of Athletics Laura Habacker is pleased to announce the hiring of Nick Marsh as the next head coach of the Anna Maria baseball team. Marsh comes to Anna Maria most recently from Castleton University.
"Nick demonstrates a strong knowledge of Division III baseball and recruiting," said Habacker. "This, coupled with his years in New England and his leadership abilities made him a top contender to lead our baseball team."
Marsh comes to Anna Maria following a three-year stint as an assistant coach at Castleton University where he served under decorated head coach Ted Shipley. At Castleton, Marsh worked with the pitching staff, coaching them to a staff ERA of 2.71 and guiding junior Sam Spencer to the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Pitcher of the Year title.
The 2014 and 2015 Castleton squads both won the NAC championship titles and advanced to the NCAA regional tournament.
"I am very excited for this opportunity and I can't wait to get started," said Marsh. "I would like to thank Ms. Habacker and the entire search committee for inviting me to join the Anna Maria family. This is a very exciting time on campus and I am looking forward to building a competitive program the entire school and community can be proud of."
Last year, Marsh spent time in Shanghai, China as a coach in the Major League Baseball system at the Changzhou Development Center. In China, Marsh established relationships between the Xieche International School and the MLB for a potential farm system.
Marsh also serves as the head coach and general manager of the West Hartford Thunder of the Connecticut College Baseball League. Marsh's responsibilities with the summer league team including day-to-day operations as well as coaching duties.
Prior to Castleton, Marsh made coaching stops at American International College, Hiram College, and Wabash College, where he served in various capacities including as a hitting coach, a recruiting coordinator, and a lead assistant coach.
Marsh graduated from Urbana University in 2005 with a degree in political science. He obtained his Master of Arts degree in Education in 2014 from Castleton University. Marsh resides in Bloomfield, Conn. with his wife.

Comic Relief: How the brand connected with Millennials and Generation Z
Comic Relief has acknowledged the challenge of keeping 16-24 year olds (Millenials and Generation Z) 'emotionally connected'. It met this challenge in a way which reflects a growing trend.
Hannah Bennett
Comic Relief has traditionally had a strong presence in schools; from own-clothes days to bake sales, the brand offers a master class in how to engage children of all ages in a single cause through fundraising that is fun, practical and immediately recognisable as belonging to a particular cause. However, within the charity there has been a growing acknowledgement that keeping 16 to 24 year olds "emotionally connected" means developing the brand "outside the school context"[1]. In line with this, Comic Relief announced on February 17th that they would be partnering with the story telling platform Wattpad, which formed part of a wider digital strategy that included collaborations with YouTube stars and a Snap Chat Live story on Red Nose Day itself.
What makes Comic Relief's digital strategy (and their partnership with Wattpad specifically) so interesting is that it forms part of a broader trend of cross-platform brand tie-ups. It is indicative of a shift in focus which can be observed among both profit and non-profit organisations (other examples including Tinder and Budweiser, Tinder and Calvin Klein, Spotify and Sainsbury's and Happn and Plan UK).
What is Wattpad?
Wattpad is a site that allows writers to submit stories that can then be read by other users. Designed to turn storytelling into "a social, on-the-go experience"[2], users can follow, send messages to and receive messages from their favourite writers, as well as taking part in forum-style conversations with other users. 90% of uses, including story writing, take place on mobile devices (to the extent that over half of Wattpad's writers have written a story on their phones)[3].
The site has a growing international audience, 1.5 million monthly logins and 13,000 sign ups a day. Crucially for Comic Relief's goal of targeting 16 to 24 year olds, it also claims to "have the Millennials attention"; 85% of global users can be classified as Millennials or Generation Z, whilst three quarters of British readers are under the age of 24[4].
Comic Relief's partnership with the site took the form of a branded profile , two featured non-fiction stories, and a commissioned story by one of the sites most popular writers. Of these, it was the charity's collaboration with the 21 year old Wattpadd writer Leigh Ansell that was perhaps their most innovative marketing strategy. With 10.5 million recorded reads of her most popular work, Leigh Ansell's "built-in fan base"[5] served as a readymade audience for Comic Relief's message.
A perfect match?
Of course corporate partnerships and celebrity endorsements are not new, but are instead long established ways for charities to raise their awareness among the established consumers of well-known brands. One of the most obvious benefits of brand-tie ups between organisations and digital platforms over traditional partnerships is their potential for reaching audiences on a vast scale.
However brand-tie ups are not just about reaching large audiences en-masse, they are often established on an understanding that digital technologies present unique ways of increasing the relevance of their messages for individuals. This could mean harnessing the customer insights and contextual data - such as lifestyle, taste and location - afforded by partnerships with apps such as Spotify or Happn. Or it could simply mean organisations identifying where interactions among their audiences are taking place and learning more about their needs and interests by communicating with them directly.
In the case of Comic Relief, despite record low viewing figures for their BBC programme with an average of 6.3 million[6] tuning in to BBC1, these rates still dwarf the numbers reached by their Wattpad profile (which peaked at 9.7 thousand followers). Nevertheless, it is important to remember that Wattpad formed just one part of Comic Relief's wider marketing strategy; its purpose was to create content that was specifically tailored to engage a particular demographic using a form which they were already invested in.
Given David Lammy's painting of Comic Relief as proliferator of worn stereotypes of destitution in Africa[7], the platform also affords numerous opportunities for creating new narratives. This includes giving the audience a chance to create content themselves, whilst the global reach of the platform means that it is not outside the realms of possibility to allow beneficiaries to tell their stories in their own words, rather than through intermediaries. Creating a dynamic in which organisations, audiences and beneficiaries become co-creators and co-marketers, such platforms call for a revision of the traditional idea of audiences as the passive recipients of brand messages.
Observations: what do charities stand to gain?
Comic Relief's profile on Wattpad was initiated with the intention of creating "something bespoke"[8] for a very specific audience. Wattpad is suited to this purpose as it enables the charity to participate in its audience's interests and facilitates a dialogue between the charity and potential supporters through the site's conversation and private message functions, as well as through the option of posting comments within the stories themselves.
An important part of conversing with new audiences through digital platforms is being unobtrusive. As the Tinder president Sean Rad observed of his company's own brand tie-ups, the key is finding a way for brands to communicate with users in an "accretive way" that does not "disrupt the users' experience"[9]. When it comes to Comic Relief's tie-up, the charity achieves this by opting to partner with a platform that puts the user in control of raising the charity's profile on the site. Thus, it is through users' interactions with the charity that its prominence on the site increases, as the numbers of reads its stories receive improve its rankings and overall visibility. As such, Comic Relief's Wattpad partnership is a prime example of what the advertising agency iris calls "participation branding": a brand using "their market to do their marketing" on the understanding that "brands no longer influence people. People do"[10].
The effectiveness of participation branding is generally measured in term of return on involvement (rather than investment), and how this is to be quantified in the case of Comic Relief's partnership with Wattpad remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Comic Relief's efforts to encourage emotional engagement among 16 to 24 year olds is an interesting example of how charities' diversification into cross-platform brand tie-ups can raise awareness of a cause among key demographics whilst also inspiring them to become engaged in raising awareness amongst themselves.

Writers often ask what the difference is between StoryWeaver and Dramatica Pro (or it's little brother, Writer's DreamKit).
StoryWeaver and Dramatica (or Writer's DreamKit) are like hand and glove, or two sides of the same coin. Every story has a personality and a psychology. The personality is developed in the storytelling, the psychology is built by the structure. StoryWeaver deals with the perosnality; Dramatica (and DreamKit) deal with the structure.
StoryWeaver is an inspiration and development tool for figuring out your story's world, who's in it, what happens to them, and what it all means. DreamKit helps you find and refine the underlying dramatic framework for your story to ensure there are no holes or inconsistencies.
Each one offers a step-by-step approach, and many authors use both for the two different aspects of story creation. Which one is used first, depends on the author. A structural writer will want to use Dramatica first to build the dramatic framework for the story, then use StoryWeaver to turn it into real people, places and events. An intuitive writer will want to use StoryWeaver first to help them find their story, then use Dramatica to find and refine the underlying structure that has evolved in their story along the way.

While Yousafzais the youngest Nobel laureate and and women's education activist, Rapinoe became a household name after the U.S. National Women's Team won the Soccer World Cup under her captaincy.
Megan Rapinoe and Malala Yousafzai met in Boston for the Massachusetts Conference for Women 2019 | Image credit: Twitter/Kara Swisher
Two diverse proponents of women's rights and empowerment from across the globe, Malala Yousafzai and Megan Rapinoe, came together in Boston recently for the Massachusetts Conference for Women to send a strong message to girls everywhere.
A powerful photo with the two keynote speakers posing in candour has been lighting up Twitter ever since.
While Yousafzai became famous the world over after she survived a gunshot wound to her head from Islamic extremists who were against her fight for women's right to education, soccer star Rapinoe became a household name in 2019 after the U.S. National Women's Team won the Soccer World Cup under her splendid captaincy.
Speaking at the conference, Yousafzai, who is the youngest person to win a Nobel for her inimitable activism, said, "There are 130 million girls who are out of school right now...They do not have access to a classroom. They do not have access to books. And they're not just losing the opportunity to learn, but they're losing the opportunity to have a future."
Rapinoe also spoke about the unfair treatment meted out to women athletes as well as the unequal pay received by the US Women's National Team as opposed to their male counterparts.
Nevertheless, what emerged as the most powerful and memorable instance from the conference was a photo of Yousafzai and Rapinoe on the sidelines of the conference, enjoying a candid moment while posing for a photograph.
The photo was shared on Twitter by journalist Kara Fisher and has over 4,000 shares. Rapinoe also shared the image, adding that she "loved" meeting Malala. "In the presence of greatness here wow", she wrote.
The image has been going viral with many cheering for the two diverse and intersectional faces of the movement for women's equality. Some even called the photo "iconic".
Wow! Amazing trio; love all three of these ladies.

Il Guarany är en opera (opera ballo) i fyra akter med musik av Antônio Carlos Gomes och libretto av Enrico Scalvini och Carlo D'Ormeville efter José de Alencars roman O Guarany.

Bakgrund
Under 1800-talet vill många operatonsättare genom en nationell opera visa upp sitt folk på den internationella scenen, ofta i politiska avsikter, för att därigenom ge uttryck för strävandet efter självständighet. Den nationella lokalfärgen kommer till uttryck genom handlingsplatsen, nästan alltid genom språket och genom de folkliga elementen och den nationellt färgade musiken.

Historia
Efter studierna vid konservatoriet i Rio de Janeiro rönte Gomes uppmärksamhet genom två i snabb följd komponerade operor. Som skyddsling till kejsar Pedro II av Brasilien, som var av portugisisk härkomst, fick han ett stipendium som gjorde det möjligt för honom att studera vid konservatoriet i Milano. Den brasilianska nationaloperan Il Guarany komponerade han med utgångspunkt från ett brasilianskt ämnesval, men språket var på italienska och den uruppfördes på La Scala i Milano den 19 mars 1870. Verdi uttalade sig smickrande om den unge brasilianarens begåvning.

Om operan

Den folkliga exotismen har föga betydelse och spanjorer, portugiser och indianer kläs i samma musikaliska dräkt. Gomes skapade en brasiliansk opera som samtidigt var kosmopolitisk. Han ställde han den "ädle vilden" Pery mot de onda spanjorerna, där guaranystammen, till skillnad från aimoréstammen är vänligt inställd till kolonisatörerna och umgås på jämställt sätt med dessa. Kärleksparet Cecilia och Pery förkroppsligar tanken på fredlig samlevnad mellan vita och infödda i Brasilien. Men paret förföljs av fanatiker på båda sidor. Musikaliskt sett så skapade Gomes en syntes av bel canto-operan och den franska grand opéra-genren där såväl indianer som vita sjunger på ett europeiskt präglat sätt. Operans politiska avsikter har sin grund i tiden för dess tillkomst. Men historien har dock inte besannat Gomes förhoppning: Hans dröm om en förbrödring mellan Brasiliens olika befolkningsskikt förblev en utopi. I Brasilien har hans opera dock framförts ända in i modern tid.

Personer
Don Antonio de Mariz, en gammal portugisisk adelsman (bas)
Cecilia, hans dotter (sopran)
Pery, guaranystammens hövding (tenor)
Don Alvaro, portugisisk äventyrare (tenor)
Gonzales (baryton)
Ruy-Bento (tenor)
Alonso ((bas)
Kazike, aimoréstammens hövding (bas)
Pedro, en beväpnad man i Don Antonios tjänst (bas)

Handling

Den ädle Antonio har en vacker dotter, Cecilia, som portugisen Don Alvaro är förälskad i. Men Cecilia älskar guaranystammens hövding, Pery, som en gång har räddat hennes liv och även älskar henne. Men fadern vill ändå gifta bort henne med don Alvaro. De spanska äventyrarna Gonzales, Ruy-Bento och Alonso har blivit mottagna som gäster hos Antonio, men vill stjäla hans silvergruva och planerar at röva bort Cecilia.

Pery, som har fått reda på de ondskefulla planerna, jagar bort Ruy-Bento och Alonso och avväpnar Gonzales. Den "ädle vilden" skänker spanjoren livet med villkoret att denna lämnar landet. Gonzales går skenbart med på detta. Pery beger sig till don Antonio för att varna denne. Då angrips Antonios hem av aimoréstammen. Portugiserna försvarar sig framgångsrikt och endast Cecilia och Pery blir tillfångatagna.

Aimoréstammens hövding blir betagen av Cecilias skönhet och vill ta henne till hustru. Pery skall bli en välkommen måltid hos indianerna, som är kannibaler. Festen inleds med ceremoniella danser. I sista ögonblicket lyckas Antonio tillsammans med Alvaro rädda Cecilia och Pery, men Alvaro blir under striden dödligt sårad.

För att kunna ta över silvergruvan, tar de spanska äventyrarna Antonios palats i besittning. Pery känner dock till en underjordisk utgång. För att rädda Cecilia är han beredd att avsvära sig sin tro och låta döpa sig. Först nu överlämnar don Antonio dottern åt Pery. Don Antonio spränger palatset och spanjorerna i luften, men dör även själv.

Characteristics of the database Assignment & Homework Help Service
Unusual Article Uncovers the Deceptive Practices of Characteristics of the Database
What the In-Crowd Won't Tell You About Characteristics of the Database
In file processing it was tricky to determine relationships between isolated data so as to meet user requirements. Before developing a database, you should have a great comprehension of the function the database is anticipated to carry out. Thus the significance of a DBMS in this kind of organization like Defence is critical. No one is able to see in the future. The project heads off in a particular direction and when problems inevitably arise as a result of the deficiency of proper designing and planning there isn't any opportunity to return and fix them properly, using proper practices. The design of contemporary multiuser database systems is a huge improvement from those in the past which restricted usage to a person at one time.
With the technology available today, it's possible to continue to keep your databases updated automatically. To create the database functional, you will need to create extra files and tablespaces for users. When you make a new database, it is necessary to configure the database so that you may recover your data if a system failure occurs. Say you own a database of contact info.
The database edit control is intended to hold one particular line of text. As you become more acquainted with your database and environment, it's possible to dynamically tune many initialization parameters utilizing the statement. The database must incorporate concurrency control software to make sure that several users hoping to update the very same data at exactly the same time, it should maintain in a controlled method. It is designed for data of specific purpose. As opposed to simply arbitrary info, databases enforce well structured data, allow querying to rapidly limit or sort information, in addition to provide increased security. If you are making an Oracle database for the very first time, it's recommended that you minimize the quantity of parameter values that you alter.
Truly, database software is likely to make a strong relationship between you and your clients and will supply you with a means to observe an extensive history of activities in a simple to navigate interface. If, for instance, the user tries typing for a negative price, it wouldn't be accepted. Another user will keep the salary information of these sales personnel and the comprehensive salary report is going to be stored and maintained in another file. In case the user attempts to enter exactly the same value in that column for over 1 employee, an error message is displayed and the duplicate value isn't entered. Alternatively, he may want to select the whole content of the control. A user with minimal knowledge can carry out these operations.
Since the database is the cornerstone of pretty much every business undertaking, if you don't take some time to map out the requirements of the undertaking and the way the database will meet them, then the odds are that the entire project will veer off course and get rid of direction. In case you had properly created your database, these 2 properties could possibly be the only ones you would want to configure. Choose the template suited to the sort of workload your database will support. Poorly designed databases may need to be replaced. At this time, there's no database. Inside this window, specify the kind of storage you want your database to use. Within this competitive business surrounding it's important to get a client management database for example user database which not only organizes the information for those contacts you work with, but in addition for the companies.
The manner information is stored and the manner information issued is independent of one another. The info stored in the catalog is known as the metadata, it describes the main database. Managing information by means of a database enables us to turn into strategic users of the data we have. Developing a database may also erase data in a current database and make a new database with the exact same name and physical structure. It manages all of the information that's required to us. With the amalgamation of the operated data, it's possible to derive extra information for the very same data.
Getting the Best Characteristics of the Database
Over the past couple of decades, however, the financial system has developed in ways that may influence the effect of central clearing on systemic risk. It is vital in actual time systems because data becomes useless if it's delivered late. File-based systems are extremely dependent on the application programmer. Current database systems are created for a number of users. Most database management systems are based around one particular data model, although it's feasible for products to supply support for over 1 model. A multi-user database management system may be quite costly. Contemporary database management system provides facilities to reduce the sum of processing that may be lost following a failure by making use of the transaction strategy.

The Blues pair are unavailable for selection for the return leg at the Emirates tomorrow, with striker Morata ruled out with a back problem and Fabregas' issue not disclosed.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte made the revelation during his pre-match press conference (h/t football.london) as he provided updates on some of his key personnel, and the Italian also revealed that he would be able to call up Andreas Christensen for the London derby.
He said: "Morata and Fabregas are out, they are not available for Arsenal game. Then I have to check a couple of situations.
"Morata has a problem in his back. I have to check a couple of situations before making the best decision, but Christensen is fit."
Morata missed the 4-0 Premier League victory at Brighton last Saturday due to a one-match suspension, but had been suffering from something of a goal drought before he was ruled out of the Gulls win.
Fabregas was also unable to feature due to a suspected hamstring injury, but Chelsea have chosen not to reveal what his exact problem is.
Meanwhile, Conte has explained why he considers winning the Carabao Cup to be an 'important target' for the reigning top flight champions.
The League Cup has been maligned in recent years by football fans, but the ex-Juventus and Italy head coach admitted that winning the trophy would be another bit step forward for his squad heading into the second half of this season.
Dzeko-Chelsea: should be a matter of hours.
Conte said: "For me and the players it is an important target for me. In my first season and a half I have the opportunity to win the league, reach FA Cup final and play community Shield. Now I have the chance to reach the Carabao Cup, it is important for me and my players."
The 48-year-old also provided a small update on the club's pursuit of Roma duo Edin Dzeko and Emerson Palmieri as he stated that there had been no developments in that area.
Conte added: "I don't know. When the club has news, you will know."

I don't really know why myself, but my perception of the same thing may be different depending on the language, accent, dialect and my immediate surroundings. It's like "I would do/think of the same thing if I were them" kind of thing.
Well since I-have-no-idea-when, apart from the local culture, I have been exposed to so many different cultures, TV documentary/movie/shows, products, music, history, languages (and writing systems), traditions, geography and how they live to the point that they don't seem foreign to me at all.
What I do lack however, is experiencing those first-hand myself.
I wonder what opportunities I have missed that I would have otherwise gotten if I had done certain things some time back. I will never know because it did not happen. I hope I won't miss out on future ones, but the problem is that they are like hard to tell and what/when/where exactly it would be. On top of that, there is like a very long list of what could have happen and what will happen because of that: If a particular thing did not exist/happen, what could have happen? It could be minor, or even major. For some, it could seem like a minor factor at first, but becomes a major factor later on.
In memory of the lives lost at what happened 7 years ago in New York City.
why would people so such things?


ActionSprout will be monitoring how the changes to the Newsfeed are impacting nonprofits and NGOs around the world and reporting back frequently, but here are our initial thoughts.
On January 11th 2018, Mark Zuckerberg announced some changes to Facebook that are designed to alter what people see in their Facebook News Feed.
Does the idea of yet another change to the News Feed make you nervous? Don't worry, you're not alone. We've heard from lots of people who are bracing themselves for the worst. But don't let this change worry you. Let it motivate you!
At ActionSprout we believe this change will help nonprofits and causes which create content people value in a big way.
Over the years we have seen thousands of nonprofits transform their Facebook Pages and blow their goals out of the water with one simple strategy — a strategy that is about to become even more powerful. It can be summed up in two words: engagement and engagement! That means posting captivating content and deepening your relationship with your community day in and day out. We have crunched the data from five billion data points and this path to success on Facebook just keeps getting clearer every day. This change to the algorithm is just the latest move from the company to put the power to decide what people see on Facebook into the hands of their friends and family.
The changes Zuckerberg announced will pay off in a big way for all of you who've been focusing on engaging your audience. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll likely see your reach soar! After all, this change means that there will be more room in the news feed for the kind of engaging content you're already creating. In short, your content will be put in front of more people!
The flip side is that we are pretty sure that Facebook Page managers who focus mostly on reach and fan count metrics will see a considerable drop in performance. This drop might be twenty-five percent or maybe fifty percent. We don't know. But we're pretty sure that if you're not focused on engagement, now is the time to make the change.
But the changes don't stop with the News Feed. The power of Facebook Groups will only become stronger in 2018. Why? Because Facebook's number one goal is to ensure that people see the content they value most. Nearly every post made in a group is created by a person who cares deeply about the topic of the group. In other words, posts from Groups will get greater prominence in the news feed as these changes roll out.
Having a vibrant Facebook Group full of volunteers, staff, and supporters sharing stories related to a cause will become a more powerful strategy for growing reach and engagement.
Make sure you are focused on curating engaging stories each day and monitoring which posts are getting the most engageme , and in particular shares. Use ActionSprout to find them. You can never post too much engaging content!
Respond to as many comments as you can to encourage the people that are most engaged on your Page to do more in the future. This means responding both to people who comment on your posts and the people who follow up on those comments. Get your staff on board to help you build a larger and more active community.
Create a Facebook Group to connect and foster engagement between you and your most involved Facebook community members and supporters.
Pay to promote. Yes, we are saying you should spend a bit of money on Facebook ads. But, no, we do not believe you should boost every post. Facebook is not making this change to force you to pay to get your content in front of your supporters. But when used correctly, Facebook ads are an incredibly powerful and inexpensive way to grow your community, reach, and influence. But remember, only boost posts that have a lot of comments or shares. Work with the algorithm, don't fight it by paying to promote posts that have a low engagement rate. That's what the algorithm is working to suppress. You can't win that fight!
Give people meaningful actions to do from Facebook that they want to share with friends because it reflects positively on them when they do. Things that obviously add value to their friends lives and contribute to making the world a better place.
Ps. In case you missed it, we repeated the word Engage or Engagement seven times in this article. After counting, we realize that really isn't enough. So, we leave you with this: engage, engage, engage, engage, engage!!!!!


Even if you are not technically a scientist, as a reader of LtU you probably merit badge #24.
What about #15 -- computers are household appliances these days.
Yeah, that one is for Dave.
Dude, I am all over that #16!
Not nearly often enough for my taste!
Some of us may get #29. Some EE's may get #40 as well. If category theorists don't get #49 there's something wrong.
Does intentionally crocheting hyperbolic surfaces count for #7? Especially, if you know why and would like to make a program to make/model stitch patterns for arbitrary Gaussian curvature. I'm pretty sure I've done other potential things for that, but I can't think of them right now.
being unintentially crochety about hyperbolic surfaces counts towards the crushing with math prowess badge I think.
