Paul Julius Reuter worked at a book-publishing firm in Berlin and was involved in distributing radical pamphlets at the beginning of the Revolutions in 1848. These publications brought much attention to Reuter, who in 1850 developed a prototype news service in Aachen using homing pigeons and electric telegraphy from 1851 on in order to transmit messages between Brussels and Aachen,[2] in what today is Aachen's Reuters House.
Reuter moved to London in 1851 and established a news wire agency at the London Royal Exchange. Headquartered in London, Reuter's company initially covered commercial news, serving banks, brokerage houses, and business firms.[2] The first newspaper client to subscribe was the London Morning Advertiser in 1858, and more began to subscribe soon after.[2][3] According to the Encyclopædia Britannica: "the value of Reuters to newspapers lay not only in the financial news it provided but in its ability to be the first to report on stories of international importance."[2] Reuter's agency built a reputation in Europe and the rest of the world as the first to report news scoops from abroad.[4] It was the first to report Abraham Lincoln's assassination in Europe, for instance, in 1865.[2][4]
In 1865, Reuter incorporated his private business, under the name Reuter's Telegram Company Limited; Reuter was appointed managing director of the company.[5]
In 1872, Reuter's expanded into the far east, followed by South America in 1874. Both expansions were made possible by advances in overland telegraphs and undersea cables.[4] In 1878, Reuter retired as managing director.[5] In 1883, Reuter's began transmitting messages electrically to London newspapers.[4]

The company returned to private ownership in 1916, with all shares purchased by Roderick Jones and Mark Napier; they renamed the company "Reuters Limited", dropping the apostrophe.[5] In 1923, Reuters began using radio to transmit news internationally, a pioneering act.[4] In 1925, the Press Association (PA) of Great Britain acquired a majority interest in Reuters, and full ownership some years later.[2] During the world wars, The Guardian reported that Reuters: "came under pressure from the British government to serve national interests. In 1941 Reuters deflected the pressure by restructuring itself as a private company." The new owners formed the Reuters Trust.[4] In 1941, the PA sold half of Reuters to the Newspaper Proprietors' Association, and co-ownership was expanded in 1947 to associations that represented daily newspapers in New Zealand and Australia.[2] The Reuters Trust Principles were put in place to maintain the company's independence.[6] At that point, Reuters had become "one of the world's major news agencies, supplying both text and images to newspapers, other news agencies, and radio and television broadcasters."[2] Also at that point, it directly or through national news agencies provided service "to most countries, reaching virtually all the world's leading newspapers and many thousands of smaller ones," according to Britannica.[2]
In 1961, Reuters scooped news of the erection of the Berlin Wall.[7] Reuters was one of the first news agencies to transmit financial data over oceans via computers in the 1960s.[2] In 1973, Reuters "began making computer-terminal displays of foreign-exchange rates available to clients."[2] In 1981, Reuters began supporting electronic transactions on its computer network and afterwards developed a number of electronic brokerage and trading services.[2] Reuters was floated as a public company in 1984,[7] when Reuters Trust was listed on the stock exchanges[4] such as the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and NASDAQ.[2] Reuters later published the first story of the Berlin Wall being breached in 1989.[7]
Reuters' share price grew during the dotcom boom, then fell after the banking troubles in 2001.[4] In 2002, Britannica wrote that most news throughout the world came from three major agencies: the Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse.[8] Reuters merged with Thomson Corporation in Canada in 2008, forming Thomson Reuters.[2] In 2009, Thomson Reuters withdrew from the LSE and the NASDAQ, instead listing its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[2] The last surviving member of the Reuters family founders, Marguerite, Baroness de Reuter, died at age 96 on 25 January 2009.[9] The parent company Thomson Reuters is headquartered in Toronto, and provides financial information to clients while also maintaining its traditional news-agency business.[2]
In 2012, Thomson Reuters appointed Jim Smith as CEO.[6] Almost every major news outlet in the world subscribed to Reuters as of 2014. Reuters operated in more than 200 cities in 94 countries in about 20 languages as of 2014.[citation needed] In July 2016, Thomson Reuters agreed to sell its intellectual property and science operation for $3.55 billion to private equity firms.[10] In October 2016, Thomson Reuters announced expansions and relocations to Toronto.[10] As part of cuts and restructuring, in November 2016, Thomson Reuters Corp. eliminated 2,000 worldwide jobs out of its around 50,000 employees.[10]
JournalistsEdit
Reuters[11] employs some 2,500 journalists and 600 photojournalists in about 200 locations worldwide. Reuters journalists use the Reuters Handbook of Journalism[12] as a guide for fair presentation and disclosure of relevant interests, to maintain the values of integrity and freedom upon which their reputation for reliability, accuracy, speed and exclusivity relies.[12]
In May 2000, Kurt Schork, an American reporter, was killed in an ambush while on assignment in Sierra Leone. In April and August 2003, news cameramen Taras Protsyuk and Mazen Dana were killed in separate incidents by U.S. troops in Iraq. In July 2007, Namir Noor-Eldeen and Saeed Chmagh were killed when they were struck by fire from a U.S. military Apache helicopter in Baghdad.[13][14] During 2004, cameramen Adlan Khasanov in Chechnya and Dhia Najim in Iraq were also killed. In April 2008, cameraman Fadel Shana was killed in the Gaza Strip after being hit by an Israeli tank.[15]
While covering China's Cultural Revolution in Peking in the late 1960s for Reuters, journalist Anthony Grey was detained by the Chinese government in response to the jailing of several Chinese journalists by the colonial British government of Hong Kong.[16] He was released after being imprisoned for 27 months from 1967 to 1969 and was awarded an OBE by the British Government. After his release, he went on to become a best-selling historical novelist.
In May 2016, the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets published the names and personal data of 4,508 journalists, including Reuters reporters, and other media staff from all over the world, who were accredited by the self-proclaimed authorities in the separatist-controlled regions of eastern Ukraine.[17]
In 2018, two Reuters journalists were convicted in Myanmar of obtaining state secrets while investigating a massacre in a Rohingya village.[18] The arrest and convictions were widely condemned as an attack on press freedom. The journalists, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, received several awards, including the Foreign Press Association Media Award and the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, and were named as part of the Time Person of the Year for 2018 along with other persecuted journalists.[19][20][21] After 511 days in prison, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were freed on 7 March 2019 after receiving a presidential pardon.[22]

Criticism and controversyEdit
Policy of objective languageEdit
Reuters building entrance in New York City
Reuters has a policy of taking a "value-neutral approach," which extends to not using the word "terrorist" in its stories, a practice which attracted criticism following the September 11 attacks.[24] Reuters' editorial policy states: "Reuters may refer without attribution to terrorism and counterterrorism in general, but do not refer to specific events as terrorism. Nor does Reuters use the word terrorist without attribution to qualify specific individuals, groups or events."[25] By contrast, the Associated Press does use the term "terrorist" in reference to non-governmental organizations who carry out attacks on civilian populations.[24]
Following the September 11 attacks, Reuters global head of news Stephen Jukes reiterated the policy in an internal memo and later explained to media columnist Howard Kurtz (who criticized the policy): "We all know that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, and that Reuters upholds the principle that we do not use the word terrorist... We're trying to treat everyone on a level playing field, however tragic it's been and however awful and cataclysmic for the American people and people around the world. We're there to tell the story. We're not there to evaluate the moral case."[24]
In early October 2001, CEO Tom Glocer and editor-in-chief Geert Linnebank and Jukes later released a statement acknowledging that Jukes' memo "had caused deep offence among members of our staff, our readers, and the public at large" and wrote: "Our policy is to avoid the use of emotional terms and not make value judgments concerning the facts we attempt to report accurately and fairly. We apologize for the insensitive manner in which we characterized this policy and extend our sympathy to all those who have been affected by these tragic events."[26]
In September 2004, The New York Times reported that Reuters global managing editor, David A. Schlesinger, objected to Canadian newspapers' editing of Reuters articles to insert the word terrorist. Schlesinger said: "my goal is to protect our reporters and protect our editorial integrity."[27]
Climate change reportingEdit
In July 2013, David Fogarty, former Reuters climate change correspondent in Asia, resigned after a career of almost 20 years with the company and wrote about a "climate of fear" which resulted in "progressively, getting any climate change-themed story published got harder" following comments from then deputy editor-in-chief Paul Ingrassia that he was a "climate change sceptic". In his comments, Fogarty stated: "Some desk editors happily subbed and pushed the button. Others agonised and asked a million questions. Debate on some story ideas generated endless bureaucracy by editors frightened to make a decision, reflecting a different type of climate within Reuters—the climate of fear," and that "by mid-October, I was informed that climate change just wasn't a big story for the present. …Very soon after that conversation I was told my climate change role was abolished."[28][29][30] Ingrassia, formerly[citation needed] Reuters' managing editor, previously worked for The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones for 31 years.[31] Reuters responded to Fogarty's piece by stating: "Reuters has a number of staff dedicated to covering this story, including a team of specialist reporters at Point Carbon and a columnist. There has been no change in our editorial policy."[32]
Subsequently, climate blogger Joe Romm cited a Reuters article on climate as employing "false balance", and quoted Dr. Stefan Rahmstorf, Co-Chair of Earth System Analysis at the Potsdam Institute that "[s]imply, a lot of unrelated climate skeptics nonsense has been added to this Reuters piece. In the words of the late Steve Schneider, this is like adding some nonsense from the Flat Earth Society to a report about the latest generation of telecommunication satellites. It is absurd." Romm opined: "We can't know for certain who insisted on cramming this absurd and non-germane 'climate sceptics nonsense' into the piece, but we have a strong clue. If it had been part of the reporter's original reporting, you would have expected direct quotes from actual skeptics, because that is journalism 101. The fact that the blather was all inserted without attribution suggests it was added at the insistence of an editor."[33]
Photograph controversiesEdit
According to Ynetnews, Reuters was accused of bias against Israel in its coverage of the 2006 Israel–Lebanon conflict after the wire service used two doctored photos by a Lebanese freelance photographer, Adnan Hajj.[34] In August 2006, Reuters announced it had severed all ties with Hajj and said his photographs would be removed from its database.[35]
In 2010, Reuters was criticised again by Haaretz for "anti-Israeli" bias when it cropped the edges of photos, removing commandos' knives held by activists and a naval commando's blood from photographs taken aboard the Mavi Marmara during the Gaza flotilla raid, a raid that left nine Turkish activists dead. It has been alleged that in two separate photographs, knives held by the activists were cropped out of the versions of the pictures published by Reuters.[36] Reuters said it is standard operating procedure to crop photos at the margins, and replaced the cropped images with the original ones after it was brought to the agency's attention.[36]
Accusations of pro-Fernando Henrique Cardoso biasEdit
In March 2015, the Brazilian affiliate of Reuters released a text containing an interview with Brazilian ex-president Fernando Henrique Cardoso about the ongoing Petrobras scandal. One of the paragraphs mentioned a comment by a former Petrobras manager, in which he suggests corruption in that company may date back to Cardoso's presidency. Attached to it, there was a comment between parenthesis: "Podemos tirar se achar melhor" ("we can take it out if [you] think it would be better"),[37] which is now absent from the current version of the text.[38] The agency later issued a text in which they confirm the mistake, explaining it was a question by one of the Brazilian editors to the journalist who wrote the original text in English, and that it was not supposed to be published.[39]
Funding by the UK GovernmentEdit
In November 2019 the UK Foreign Office released archive documents confirming that it had provided funding to Reuters during the 1960's and 70's so that Reuters could expand its coverage in the Middle East. An agreement was made between the Information Research Department(IRD) and Reuters for the UK Treasury to provide £350,000 over 4 years to fund Reuters' expansion. The UK government had already been funding the Latin American department of Reuters through a shell company, however, this method was discounted for the Middle East operation due to the accounting of the shell company looking suspicious, with the IRD stating that the company "already looks queer to anyone who might wish to investigate why such an inactive and unprofitable company continues to run"[40]. Instead, the BBC was used to fund the project by paying for enhanced subscriptions to the news organisation which the treasury would reimburse the BBC for at a later date. The IRD acknowledged that this agreement would not give them editorial control over Reuters, although the IRD believed it would give them political influence over Reuters' work, stating "this influence would flow, at the top level, from Reuters' willingness to consult and to listen to views expressed on the results of its work"[40] .

Q: Raise MemoryError when I am fitting a sequence to sequence LSTM using Keras+Theano I was trying to implement a sequence to sequence language model. During training process, the model takes in a sequence of 50d word vectors generated by GloVe, and output 1-to-V(V is the size of vocabulary) vector meaning the next word which thus can be regarded as the distribution of next word corresponding to the input word vector at current timestep in test process, and I tried with a 112-word vocabulary.
Then, I built two models as following:
model1 = Sequential()
model1.add(LSTM(112, return_sequences=True, input_shape=(31, 50)))

model2 = Sequential()
model2.add(LSTM(112, return_sequences=True, input_shape=(31, 50)))
model2.add(TimeDistributed(Dense(112, activation="linear")))

When I tried to fit them by
model.fit(X, Y, batch_size=128, nb_epoch=256, validation_rate=0.1)

The first model model1 crashed and raised MemoryError, but the second model model2 normally finished. X has the shape of (number_of_sentences, max_words_in_one_sentence, 50), and Y has the shape of (number_of_sentences, max_words_in_one_sentence, 112). In this example, number_of_sentences=10000, max_words_in_one_sentence=13.
I am wondering what happened when I appended a new time-distributed-dense to a LSTM layer, and which one is the model I want to implement my language model.

A: What happened is that your computing device (probably a GPU) ran out of memory. I suspect it is a NVIDIA card (due to lack of alternatives), so check the output of nvidia-smi to see if you run into memory issues.
Depending on the backend (Theano or TensorFlow) you may experience different behaviours in memory usage, so switching backends may be a solution in some cases.
In case you are using Theano the issue might be the TimeDistributed wrapper. TimeDistributed does this when no batch size is specified:
K.reshape(x, (-1,) + input_shape[2:])

so it basically reshapes x from (batchsz,timesteps,units) to (batchsz*timesteps,units). However, reshape is currently allocating a new array if the reshaped one is not C-contiguous (data is sorted as a n-dimensional C array would be), which I suspect it is not in your case.
What you can try is to specify a fixed batch size for your input in which case TimeDistributed will work through the input sequentially using K.rnn without allocation as much memory.

The boy distractedly rummaged through the contents of the top drawer of the desk, savouring the feel of old plastic buttons between his fingers; he was deep in thought but was unsure of how to broach the subject.
The woman sat with her back to him, at another desk which was in far better condition. Her right foot was pressed down on a pedal as she fed fabric through a sewing machine. Her back was relaxed in an arch and her hair fell loosely to her shoulders. She was at peace.
The woman sighed – a heavy contented sigh but a sigh also weighed with patience.
The boy immersed his hands into the sea of buttons, enjoying the feel of them crawling up between his fingers. The buttons ebbed with life as they fought to displace one another. Like a breaching shark, a steely grey one burst forth and was angled majestically above the rest. Plucking it from the sea, the boy lifted it to his right eye and looked through one of the pin-sized holes, to admire the world rimmed in steel.
As he realised the selfishness of it all, his head dropped slightly, almost imperceptibly; his eyes searching for answers in the sea of buttons.
The woman lifted her foot from the pedal, her hands from the fabric, and sat back into her chair. She thought for a moment. And that moment passed. And she put her foot back on the pedal and straightened the fabric to be fed into the machine. And with the gentleness of a slumbered exhale, she continued her work.

HostedBizz sees endless possibilities in the Cloud
OBJ Fastest Growing Company alumnus finds its niche in the mid-market
Aug 24, 2018 1:19pm EDT
HostedBizz
Jim Stechyson
Paul Butcher
So say the industry analysts. The traditional on-premise data centre for business is dead, or at least on life support.
But how does your business fit into this equation?
When considering cloud options, many people look to "hypercloud vendors" and "hybrid multi-clouds" from the likes of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Most of these services are geared toward large enterprises. Mid-market companies often find themselves attempting to shoe themselves into a service that just doesn't fit their needs, budget or business model.
Six years ago, Paul Butcher and Jim Stechyson took stock of the growing cloud market and saw an opportunity.
Paul looked at it through the lens the telecommunications industry, where his resumé includes a decade as President and COO of Mitel Networks. Jim's perspective was that of a tech entrepreneur and executive focused on small and medium-sized businesses.
They saw a clear gap begging to be filled between the cloud services being developed for large enterprises and the mid-market companies that needed the same flexibility, reliability and scalability, minus the headaches of trying to architect and manage the infrastructure themselves.
HostedBizz was born.
Today, HostedBizz delivers cloud services to companies ranging from 10 to 3,000 employees. The company has built a distribution network that includes IT resellers and white label partners across Canada, the U.S. and, more recently, Europe.
High tech companies, not-for profits, municipalities, accounting firms, law firms, real estate brokerages and hospitality services – all have turned to HostedBizz.
Why? For the convenience of having a flexible and elastic cloud infrastructure service where they don't have to worry about the heavy lifting of managing it themselves or paying for anything they don't need.
For any Canadian organization using HostedBizz's services, data sovereignty is assured. Sensitive data never resides outside the country – something which U.S.-based providers can't always guarantee.
All of this is supported by HostedBizz's network of Tier 3 data centres – the most robust data centre certification available in Canada – using multiple redundant carrier-grade network service providers across the country.
"We've built a truly utility-based consumption model," said Jim. "Customers can provision any of the cloud services offered on our platform, get billed for what they use, then shut resources down and resume them again later."
It's almost ironic, considering Paul's background in an industry that was built on locking customers into multiyear contracts with limited flexibility.
"You can't have a flexible cloud under those kind of contractual terms," Paul said. "We are fully committed to the dynamic and elastic use of the cloud for businesses of all sizes."
"We felt that HostedBizz truly understood our business and network/cloud needs as we consolidated numerous service contracts with multiple service providers into one integrated package with a single point of contact. Their responsive customer service has reassured us that we made the right choice."

The Agency's End Has Come
Garrett Fuller Posted: Apr 1, 2011 11:51 AM
Category: Columns Garrett Fuller 0
Yesterday, SOE announced the closure of several studios as well as cancelling The Agency. Many times you hear about games and see all this excitement growing. The first time I saw The Agency was back in 2007 at an SOE event in NY. The team showed off several games with Free Realms, Gods & Heroes, and The Agency as the highlight. At the end there was a brief screen of DC Universe. Talk about going back in time, the games all looked great and were presented very well. The Agency had everyone talking.
The idea behind a spy MMO was not too surprising. It was the one genre that really haddn't been done. When the game was presented they had some amazing ideas. The fact that you would have a team of operatives working while you were off line who would then text you when your super spy car was completed. Having casinos in the game in the true James Bond style where players could play poker or other games. All of these ideas sounded great and back in 2007 they were revolutionary. The game had a solid demo with a fight in an alleyway against some crazy gang members who looked more steampunk than spy. Still, it all worked very well.
As things moved ahead we didn't hear about The Agency again. The game had this great showing with all kinds of articles on it and then, whoosh, it disappeared. I remember talking about it at GDC a few months later and things had not changed much. The team was still working hard, the planning was there and bit more information was released. Despite getting less information, our hopes were still high for the game as it definitely offered something different to the market.
After that GDC we didn't hear much about The Agency for a long time. E3 that year was a bust and not much was shown. There had been some talk, but it faded away. After a while we started to see key team members leave the game to go work on their own projects. These types of scenarios are never good for video games. When you see someone move on it usually has a negative connotation behind it. Not always, sometimes people get amazing opportunities and just move ahead. Still, The Agency only had news about people leaving, they were not showing anything and it just seemed to be slipping away.
At E3 2010 we saw a demo of the game again. This time there was a producer trying to explain everything and an actual playable scenario for the spies to go through. Unfortunately, the game was much more stealth and less action. Walking through a high end party making sure you were not seen by cameras, attempting to meet other spies and work out a mission. It looked okay, but nothing jumped out. It almost seemed too real for players and had less of a wild James Bond feel to it. This demo was a let down and made us start to question what had been done with the game over the last two years.
Much more recently The Agency Facebook app was launched and SOE started to move on some of the ideas we had seen in the past. However, the app did not offer much and the hype on the game really had seen its highlight back when we first saw it. Now it was almost too little to late to bring the game back into the light it was presented in back in 2007. In the end, it seems like the game was cancelled and perhaps rightfully so.
I think there is a great lesson to take away from The Agency for all MMO players and developers alike. The initial demo was amazing and the promises of the game were great. The idea of being a spy online where you would get cell phone texts from your other agents was very interesting, especially before the mobile market really exploded. The genre was a good choice as spies were big at the time with James Bond coming back into play and the first new movie in a long time which really captured spy fans. Overall in the beginning it looked great. What went wrong was the follow through. I am certainly not blaming anyone, nor will I mention any developer names or folks involved. However, I will say that announcing and showing a game to hardcore game press too early will get us talking, but we are also quick to see through the hype and discover what is really going on with the game. Here, The Agency did have a wave of hype behind it, and it quickly washed away.
It makes me fear for other MMOs out there that I have heard of which are only showing an amazing trailer or demo. There are many times we meet with developers and all we want to do is play the demo and see the game. We do not care about the wild trailers and constructed presentations. Can we play it, yes or no? How does it play? Basically those should be our measures for whether or not a game will even get off the ground. It makes you question what they did for two years on the project. I know games and especially MMOs take a long time to make, but companies need to really think about what they show and how soon they show it.
In the end The Agency joins a long list of MMOs which have gone away. More than anything we feel bad for the developers on the project who worked hard, the engineers who spent time writing code and believing in the project. Those people who are impacted by lay offs and closures really deserve better in this business. As players and fans, all we can do is move on and hope that when teams break up or are let go, they can somehow reform and work on a dream project of their own, which will match what we hope to see in the MMOs of the future.

Tag Archives: Can't See You
April Top Ten
Here's our top ten tracks that we've been listening to in April:
1 Sea Bed – Caves
Technically this came out last month (and we included Haunted in last month's top ten), but their Rosso EP hasn't left our stereo, and their debut gig at the Prince Albert supporting Them The Sky was awesome.
2 Momotaro – Roots
Momotaro's new EP Highest actually came out yesterday which made it May, but since the band put up Roots from the EP on Soundcloud, it's been on heavy rotation around here.
3 Fiction Aisle – Each and Every One
It was actually Each and Every One's joint double A side that we wrote about a few weeks ago, but it was this track of the pair that really caught our attention.
4 Curxes – What You Want
Curxes debut album is out in just a few hours time! We've been a big fan of the band's retro electro (or Blitz Pop as they like to call it) for ages, so can't wait to hear the rest of the record.
5 The Go! Team – Ye Ye Yamaha
Where so many bands put out re-releases or remixes for Record Store Day, The Go! Team put out two brand new tracks. That's how it should be done.
6 Black Honey – Spinning Wheel
Spinning Wheel is our favourite track that should have been in a Tarantino film this month and deserves to be played LOUD. We've not caught them live yet, so we're hoping to get to see them at the Great Escape in a few weeks.
7 Clowwns – Idiot Bouncing
The Artful Execution of Macho Bimbo, the debut album by one of Brighton's finest live bands Clowwns, has been in gestation since before we started the blog so we're pleased that it's finally getting released soon. Idiot Bouncing is the free download put up to persaude us all to buy the record.
8 Ambassadeurs – Can't See You
Can't See You is another track which we haven't actually featured on the blog, having posted up other tracks from the EP, but for our top ten we had to post the release's title track.
9 Miamigo – Hard To Love
DIY mag wrote "Bands could spend decades figuring out how to write the biggest hooks and they might not get close to this" about Hard to Love, and who are we to disagree.
10 Gazelle Twin – Love and Mercy
After doing her best to give us nightmares with last year's Unflesh, Gazelle Twin is doing her best to gain our affections again with her cover of Brian Wilson's Love and Mercy.

March Top Ten
Yes, yes. We're almost a week into April. But we've had Easter in the way, and we were overwhelmed with new music last month. Here's our top picks:
1. The Go! Team – What D'You Say?
Highlight of the month for us was the brand new Go! Team album The Scene Between. If you haven't gone out and bought it yet what are you waiting for?
2. IYES – Glow
Glow was originally meant to be out at the tail end of last year, but being pushed back a few months in record company schedules makes it no less majestic.
3. Rockerswitch – Show Me
Rockerswitch's debut starts off quite lazy and gradually gets more and more spaced out. Great stuff.
4. Mount Bank – Everything is Glass
We love everything on Mount Bank's Island Life EP but opener Everything is Glass is our favourite with it's bright synth strings and piano motif.
5. Tigercub – Hold On
Showing a more mature side than seen on their previous releases, Tigercub's latest demo was so good it got picked up by NME and streamed on their website.
6. Foreign Skin – Enemy
A favourite from their live sets, Foreign Skin has finally shared the beguiling Enemy on their Soundcloud stream
7. Ambassadeurs – Can't See You
Can't See You is the first taster from Ambassadeurs next EP. On the strength of what we've heard from Ambassaders in the past it's almost inevitable that we'll be featuring other tracks from the EP in coming months.
8. Sea Bed – Haunted
Sea Bed have shared a couple of tracks from their upcoming Rosso EP which drops next week. Our pick of the two is the almost garagey Haunted.
9. GAPS – All Me All You
GAPS debut album comes out in May. As well as featuring a couple of their older singles it also includes All Me All You, the first new track taken from "In, Around The Moments"
10. Fools Empire – The Professionals
Last up is The Professionals, the first of three singles coming out in a sequence from Fools Empire. Can't wait for the other two.

Here's this week's new music roundup, which includes two tracks which have been featured on Radio One. Good work Brighton bands!
First is Black Peaks, whose new single Glass Built Castles was Radio 1#s track of the day yesterday!
The title track of the new Ambassadeurs EP has been picked up by Radio 1 too. It's called Can't See You, and here's what Radio 1 had to say about it "Every single second of this track is sheemed with effortless cool…This is the sort of music that conjures up images in my head of clubs i'm not cool enough to get in to"
Sticking with electronica is the first brand new track from Foreign Skin in about two years. There's been plenty of remixes and live dates in that time, but Enemy is the first original track released by them since Hoi Sum came out on the first KLDSCP release in 2013.
She Crazy are giving away a new EP on bandcamp. The She Crazy EP features Stalker Song, Zompocalpse Now!, Goin to Hell and Trigger Finger:
The debut track from producer Aeble got premiered on the Line of Best Fit at the start of the weekend. Better By Your Side features vocals from Tom Aspaul and is a lovely five minute chilled house journey.
Veni, Vidi, Vici are a new Brighton rock band. Their first track was posted online a week ago and is called Innocence:
Mitch Wade Cole's debut EP is out at the start of April on Not Like That Music. The holding page for the Electric Bath Duck release is as schizophrenic as the track.

Mani Rimdu Festival is celebrated at Tengboche, Thame and Chiwong Monasteries of Solukhumbu Nepal. This is a sacred ceremonies and series of events of empowerment. It is a sequence of nineteen days celebration, which concludes with three days public festival. Sherpa get time to gather and celebrate this festival with monastic community. Lamas and Sherpa gather at the monastery for five days for the welfare of the world. Demons are quelled and the virtuous are rewarded.

Mani Rimdu Festival date for the year 2019 is celebrating on 12th, 13th and 14th November 2019.
The Dakini dance is performed genially. Slow motion dance steps, keeping perfect time with the soft tinkle and slow beat of bells and drums is performed by five young priests. The dancers are without masks, and portray female spiritual figures; the partners of Padmasambhava. It is believed that they come from his pure land of Shangdok Palri where they live within his mandala. They herald the imminent arrival of Guru Rinpochhe at the Mani Rimdu.Two of the Ghing are male, and carry cymbals, while the two females carry drums. The males represent skillful means and the female represent wisdom; these two aspects of the path The torma is made from barley flour and decorated with colored butter. It begins by symbolizing the body of the deity, and by the end of the ceremony, symbolizes enlightenment itself.

The Integrated Sciences Building represents a paradigm shift in science education and research. The ISB is designed to maximize undergraduate engagement with faculty and researchers. By strategically co-locating teaching and research labs on the same floorplate and linking them with "student commons" collaboration spaces, the ISB will provide a platform for a new educational culture at KU. The ISB will initially be focused on material science, life sciences and chemistry research laboratories. The research labs are located on the east and west ends of the ISB, with chemistry teaching labs (organic, inorganic, general, analytical and instrumentation) as well as 240 seat auditorium and active learning classrooms occupying the central section of the building. The ISB is organized around two vertical "nodes" on the east and west sides of the building that not only provide the necessary vertical circulation and building services distribution, but also cluster conferencing, interaction and social spaces; providing both formal and informal spaces for discovery and learning.
ISB is also home to core laboratories for NMR spectroscopy, imaging (SEM, TEM, Cryo-EM, and Confocal Microcopy) x-ray crystallography, mass-spectrometry and two-separate ISO 4-8 clean rooms focused on nano-device fabrication (including E-Beam Lithography, FIB, CVD and sputter coating). The design embraces the idea of "science on display" showcasing the research, teaching and core laboratories with the goal of providing inspiration and discovery for undergraduates aspiring or considering a future in science.
Situated along the Jayhawk Trail, the ISB's grade level is designed with a high-degree of transparency, inviting students into the building and blurring the line between building and landscape. As the ISB is located adjacent to the new student union, it is envisioned that there will be a high-degree of exchange between the two buildings creating a hub of activity for the new central district expansion establishing an anchor element for future development.

Terror costs UK economy billions, report finds

Terrorism has hit the UK's economy harder than any other EU country in recent years, according to a study.
Analysis found the UK lost an estimated 43.7 billion euros (£38.3 billion) in GDP terms due to terrorist activity from 2004 to 2016.
This was the highest sum across the 28 EU member states, followed by France with a loss of 43 billion euros (£37.7 billion).
The report from research body RAND Europe calculated the potential costs linked to the wave of attacks that hit Britain last year.
It said incidents at Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge, Finsbury Park and Parsons Green may have led to a loss in economic output of around 3.5 billion euros (£3.1 billion).
Economist Marco Hafner, who led the analysis, said: "Besides the obvious physical devastation and emotional trauma, there is a negative impact on economic growth in the countries where these terrorist attacks take place.
"When you bear in mind the infrequent nature of terror events in Europe, the GDP losses that occur to national economies are notable.
"A clear message from the report is that terrorist attacks can lead to a range of psychological effects that mean people and companies change their economic behaviours. For instance, some people may value their future less and 'live in the moment' more.
"These effects can impact how people consume and save, potentially leading to an increase in consumption and decrease in savings and investment rates by companies. The end result is economic losses across Europe."
The research, prepared for the European Parliament, used econometric modelling to quantify the impact of terrorism by looking at the effect on GDP growth per capita between 2004 and 2016 across all EU nations.
Overall, terrorism was found to have cost the bloc around 180 billion euros, or £158 billion.
The human and physical capital costs were estimated to be an additional 5.6 billion euros (£4.9 billion) between 2004 and 2016. These included costs associated with lost lifetime earnings, medical treatment and property damage.
The paper also noted that terrorism is associated with lower levels of life satisfaction and happiness.
"The softer measures of life satisfaction, happiness and trust that are negatively affected highlight the wide variety of impacts from terrorism," Mr Hafner said.
Earlier this week the Government unveiled its new strategy for tackling terror, including measures to allow MI5 intelligence on some individuals to be shared more widely.

Chabad on Campus Hosts Law Shabbat
by Fay Kranz Greene - S. LOUIS, MO
Missouri Supreme Court Judge Richard B. Teitelman was the featured guest speaker at a recent Shabbat dinner hosted by Chabad on Campus, for Jewish students at Washington University in St. Louis.
Chabad's annual "Law Shabbat" is an opportunity for Jewish students at Missouri's Law Schools to spend a Shabbat with a group of their peers and meet leading Jewish legal professionals who share their views on the confluence of law and Judaism.
Judge Teitelman, the first legally blind and first Jewish judge to serve on Missouri's highest court, addressed the group of over 50 students, including several visiting law students from Tel Aviv University, who participated in the Shabbat dinner.
In his remarks, the Judge noted that Jews have a biblical mandate to 'pursue justice' and told the students about his efforts to sensitize the legal community to the Jewish holidays. He also spoke fondly about his stint as Director of Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, and noted that legal aid is an expression of the Jewish commitment to help mankind.
Rabbi Hershey Novack is the director of Chabad on Campus, an organization that is less than two years old. He is very pleased with the success of this program and says that for some students "this is their first campus encounter with Judaism and their first taste of a traditional Shabbat."
Novack also feels that "the Jewish legal professionals serve as important role models to our students, allowing them to see the integration of Jewish and American law."
Howard Shalowitz, president of the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, also participated and led the Kiddush service.
The Law Shabbat is sponsored in part by a grant from the Uforatzta Endowment Fund. Chabad on Campus is under the aegis of Chabad of Greater St. Louis - Rabbi Yosef Landa, director - and is the beneficiary of a grant from the Rohr Family Foundation.


Country house owners have always wanted art to furnish their rooms, but there is an increasing new appetite for a space that can be adapted to form an art gallery that has been driven by the dramatic rise in the popularity-and prices-of contemporary art over the past two decades. A masterpiece by Anish Kapoor, Jeff Koons or Gerhard Richter is a coveted status symbol for the very affluent, but these artists didn't have traditional country-house settings in mind when they created their works, which are often really large: they envisaged the big white spaces of the contemporary public or commercial art gallery, and this can pose a challenge to private collectors.
Charlie Wells at property buyer Prime Purchase is now used to his clients asking whether a house has room for large pictures, just as they have requirements about furniture, but he remarks that 'period houses are notoriously bad for hanging large canvasses -they tend to have lots of windows, which limits the wall space'. Philip Harvey, a partner at Property Vision, has also had several buyers over the years- from, for example, Switzerland, America and Brazil as well as from Britain-looking for country homes with large enough spaces to house their collections. 'Most of them,' he says, 'want the art to be visible to visitors, so look for homes with grand entrance halls, high ceilings, good light and lots of wall space'.
Guidance about the best way to install new art in old house comes from the best possible source-the artists and art dealers who have themselves invested in country houses. This has become such a phenomenon that a new word has been coined to describe this breed: the artocracy. Despite the urban and often gritty image of so much contemporary art, there is now a long history of artists buying and converting country houses to showcase their works. One of the trailblazers was the sculptor Lynn Chadwick, who, in 1958, bought Lypiatt Park, a medieval and Tudor house in a deeply romantic wooded valley near Stroud in Gloucestershire, painted the vast rooms white and installed his own sculptures.
In 2003, the house was inherited by Chadwick's sculptor son, Daniel, who is thought to have given his friend Damien Hirst the idea of buying Toddington Manor, also in Gloucestershire, a vast early-19th-century Gothic Revival mansion. Having bought the house for £3 million in 2005, Mr Hirst set about a still unfinished multi-million-pound restoration programme, intending that it should be the setting for works by him and his friends. The Cotswolds seem to have a particular appeal for cutting edge artists: Jake Chapman- who, with his brother, Dinos, is famous for sculptures on shocking and often violent themes -has settled down in the idyllic setting of a secluded farmhouse near Filkins, in Oxfordshire, which he bought in 2006.
Instead, prospective buyers can borrow some ideas from the many owners of inherited country houses who have a keen interest in contemporary art, but go out of their way to avoid that sort of art-gallery look by mixing up new and old. This isn't as easy as it sounds. At Welbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire, William Parente found that his collection of modern and contemporary paintings and prints-which ranges from L. S. Lowry to Tracey Emin- didn't sit happily with the house's grand, mostly 18th century portraits and sporting art. 'The handling of paint is so different', he told Country Life when his collection was shown in the estate's Harley Gallery in 2011, so he hangs his modern works separately from the house's historic collection.
However, partly by focusing on artists for whom the handling of paint is all-important, the Duke of Devonshire has found a happy way to mix Old Masters with not only portraits by Lucian Freud, but also a big abstract canvas by Sean Scully at Chatsworth.
Others, most famously the Marquess of Bute, choose works that relate to the past in less expected ways. At Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute, he has daringly commissioned contemporary artists to create installations in historic rooms-most memorably, Langlands & Bell transformed the house's William Burges chapel by inserting a mirrored floor.
Although the intriguing phenomenon of country houses that incorporate or even look like contemporary art galleries is likely to spread, it is the juxtaposition of cutting-edge new work with the best of the past that country house owners do uniquely well.

2020 January Stallion Open House scheduled for Jan. 13-17
Nick Your Mare
Submit a Mare
Three Chimneys Farm will host its January open house and stallion show Monday through Friday, Jan. 13-17.
The farm's eight stallions, headlined by 2017 Horse of the Year Gun Runner, will be available for inspection each day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lunch will be served daily.
Gun Runner, whose first foals arrived in 2019, bred 337 mares in his first two seasons. His fee will remained unchanged, at $70,000, for 2020. Gun Runner's first foals to go to auction averaged $344,275, topped by a $750,000 filly at the Keeneland November auction.
Palace Malice, whose fee for 2020 was set at $25,000 following Structor's dynamic score in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1). Structor, who also won the Pilgrim S. (G3) at Belmont Park, was named an Eclipse Award finalist in the 2-year-old male division. Fast Anna, at $10,000 for 2020, also had three stakes winners from his first crop, including two-time black type winner Fast Scene.
Sky Mesa, the veteran of the Three Chimney's roster, had a banner year in 2019. His latest Grade 1 winner Perfect Alibi took both the Spinaway S. (G1) and Adirondack S. (G2) during the Saratoga meet. Sky Mesa, who will stand in 2020 for $15,000, now has 70 lifetime stakes winners and 135 stakes horses lifetime.
Both Funtastic ($5,000) and Sharp Azteca ($10,000) will be standing their second season at Three Chimneys in 2020. Grade 1 winner Funtastic, by More Than Ready, is a half-brother to Horse of the Year Saint Liam and to the dam of Gun Runner. Sharp Azteca was also a Grade 1 winner and earned more than $2.4 million.
Rounding out the stallions available for viewing are Will Take Charge ($15,000) and Strong Mandate ($5,000). Will Take Charge led all 2019 Second-Crop sires by graded stakes winners, while Strong Mandate is a top-10 Second-Crop sire by stakes winners and winners.
Three Chimneys is located at 1981 Old Frankfort Pike, Versailles, KY 40383.

Q: Figure out all positive integers n with consecutive + integers a,b,c. When $2018^n$ = $a^4$ + $b^4$ + $({b^2+c^2})^2$,
then what is the possible positive integers n be?

A: Let us consider the given equation modulo $4$. Then $a,b$ are consecutive, of the shape $2k$ and $2k\pm1$ (in the right order), so $a^4+b^4$ is $0+1$ or $1+0$ modulo four. The same argument shows $b^2+c^2\equiv 0+1$ (or $1+0$) modulo four. The whole expression is thus $1+1^2=2$ modulo four.
So on the L.H.S of the given equation we have exactly the first power, since $1094\equiv 2$ modulo four. Sad enough, there is no solution, we compute for instance in sage:
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(ZZ)
sage: a, b, c = x-1, x, x+1
sage: factor( a^4 + b^4 + (b^2+c^2)^2 - 1094 )
2 * (3*x^4 + 2*x^3 + 7*x^2 - 546)

and there is no linear factor.

A: Since we have consecutive integers $a,b,c$, take $a=b-1$ and $c=b+1$. Then, we have $2^n 547^n=(b-1)^4+b^4+(b^2+(b+1)^2)^2=(b-1)^4+2b^4+2b^2(b+1)^2+(b+1)^4=(b-1)^4+(b+1)^4+4b^4+4b^3+2b^2$.  If $b=2k$, then expanding the braces, we get the RHS is divisible by $2$, not $4$. This means $n$ is at most 1.
If $b=2k+1$, then again the RHS is divisible by 2, not 4. So $n \leq 1$.
We check the case $n=1$. If $b=4$, the RHS is $2018$. So, we conclude that $n=1$.

NHL 2015-16 Recap Week 23 – Kings are the team to beat, Devante Smith-Pelly rising, Blackhawks falling
By Alex Mueller | Weekly Recaps | 21 March 2016 | Add Comment
Tagged in Adam McQuaid Antoine Roussel Anze Kopitar Braden Holtby Brian Elliott Connor McDavid Corey Crawford Dwight King Jake Allen Jamie Benn Jeff Carter Jonathan Quick Los Angeles Kings Marian Gaborik Martin Brodeur Patrick Kane Patrick Roy Recap Ryan Callahan Sidney Crosby Stanley Cup Tampa Bay Lightning Tyler Seguin
Despite missing the playoffs last season, the Los Angeles Kings have been and currently are the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. They currently have the 2nd best record in the Western Conference but they'll more than likely finish 1st. But as previous Stanley Cup runs have shows, their place in the standings doesn't matter. After beating the Blackhawks and the Stars soundly by a combined score of 10-2 this past week, it's hard to not picture them hoisting another Stanley Cup. The Kings have a few things going for them that make them the favorites.
Riding a hot goalie. No team rides a hot goalie better than the Kings. In turn, there's not better goalie to ride then Jonathan Quick. You look up clutch in the NHL dictionary, you'll find a picture of Quick. He's basically like Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur in their primes. Corey Crawford can sometimes be ridden and Braden Holtby will be the next guy but, for now, Quick is the guy you want.
Blending old faces into new places. The Kings have had a lot of success of picking up old discarded veterans and plugging them in and watching them return to form. They did it with Marian Gaborik and Jeff Carter and now to a lesser extent they are doing it with Vincent Lecavalier. Lecavalier didn't play much for the Flyers recently and had just one point in seven games for them. But as a King he's had 1 5points in 32 games. Not too shabby. He also just recently played in his 1200th game.
Clutch performances. The Kings Stanley Cup runs always featured clutch, come from behind performances. They were generally provided by Justin Williams. Williams has since left but he didn't take all the clutch with him. Against the Rangers, the Kings were down 3-1 in the third period but scored one goal and then managed to get another goal with about five minutes left by Anze Kopitar. Kopitar used his magic, again, with a beautiful screen tip off a face-off for the game winner in overtime. And the whole time, you just new the Kings would come back and win.
1. Devante Smith-Pelly was a guy who I thought could have used some more playing time in Anaheim. They chose to move him to Montreal, who in turn, chose to move him to New Jersey. He has nine points in seven games for the Devils so far. It's unlikely he will keep up that production but he's a great complimentary player to have. Not everyone can or needs to be an All-Star. He's a restricted free agent after this season so it'll be interesting to see what offers he receives. It'll be even more interesting of an off season for the Devils with only four forwards under contact for next season.
Things I don't
1. It's hard to imagine the Blackhawks losing four in a row let alone two in a row by a combined score of 10-2, to the Stars and Kings, but that's what happened. Not really sure why they weren't motivate to play the two best teams in the West. But all teams, even good ones, go through slumps. In the Blackhawks case it's good that they do it before the playoffs hit. The bad part is they will more than likely face both the Stars and the Kings in the playoffs and they haven't played all that great against them so far. Personally, I think this Blackhawks team is better than the last two Blackhawks teams to win the Stanley Cup. But it seems unlikely the will win it back to back. There's a reason no team has done it since 1998.
2. A year after being injured towards the end of the season, Tyler Seguin is once again injured towards the end of the season. A blow to the Stars and the NHL. It sucks when great players in their prime miss playing time, especially after a fluky skate cut. This might impact the Stars chances of winning the division. Seguin expects to be back for the starts of the playoffs.
3. Due to the Oilers recent sucking but not sucking when it comes to lottery luck, some NHL GM's what to change the draft lottery rule. The change would see the team who won the lottery, without having the worst record, to be ineligible to win it the next five years. Here's the problem, it's no longer a lottery then so why have it all? The point of a lottery is that anyone can win it but the odds are stacked against you. The odds are already weighted towards the team to with the worst record to have the most chances to win. If a team with only a 5% chance manages to win it anyway, well that's the luck of the draw. I mean just do away with it then and have the team with the worst record automatically get it. If you're worried about tanking in that scenario, in the proposed scenario the team that was ineligible would be motivated to tank so that they could be eligible again. So either way, tanking could be likely. Although in the later case, only one team would have motivation to tank. If it were up to me I would change nothing. The odds of another Oiler like run is pretty slim.
Fights of the Week
Special thanks to hockeyfights.com for making this section a little easier to do.
Ryan Callahan vs Antoine Roussel
Best fight of the week even though it was short.
Adam McQuaid vs Dwight King
A decent fight between two big boys even though McQuaid did most of the punching.
Goat of the Week
Andrej Sustr – Tampa Bay Lightning
Hard to see in the clip but Sustr gets pressures and instead of going up the boards decides to go through the crowded middle. Jamie Benn says thank you very much.
Stat Line of the Week
3/14/16 Nashville 3 vs. Edmonton 2
J. Neal
"All-Star" James Neal was a one man scoring machine as he single-handily beat the Oilers Monday night. It was his 6th career hat trick and it fueled a much needed win for the Predators, who are now seemingly entrenched in the 1st wild card slot at the worst. This is the 4th time in his career Neal has had at least 27 goals. Three of the times he ended the season at 27 and the other time he had his career high with 40.
Connor McDavid Calder Watch
McDavid has a four game point streak going. Racking up five points in four games to move into 5th place in NHL rookie scoring. Just a few more spots and he'll get a nomination at the very least.
Numbers, Numbers
3 – Shorthanded goals by the Senators against the Canadiens on Saturday Night, that's not good for anyone
12 – Point differential between Patrick Kane and Jamie Benn for most NHL points, it's not even close
74 – Points for Sidney Crosby, who somehow went from like 70th to 3rd in a couple of months
.931 – SV% for Brian Elliott who somehow never gets any respect in the NHL, he'll get benched in favor of Jake Allen come playoff time again
9 – NHL players in the 30 goal club so far this season, with about 11 more having a great shot at it
The rankings are based on how the teams are currently playing.
2. Pittsburgh
4. St. Louis
30. Vancouver
29. Carolina
28. Winnipeg
27. Montreal
26. New Jersey

Home American History The Silver Kings of the Comstock: Four Irishmen Discover the Comstock Load...
The Silver Kings of the Comstock: Four Irishmen Discover the Comstock Load in Nevada
James Graham Fair
These are the stories of four Irish lads who left home during the Great Famine and came to the United States separately. Who could know that their combined industry, acumen, and luck would eventually help pay the Civil War debts of the Union Army, build downtown San Francisco, move Germany off the silver standard, and lead to the formation of International Telephone and Telegraph?
William Shoney O'Brien was born in Abbeyleix, Ireland, in 1825. He immigrated to New York City in 1845, taking whatever work he could find there. He answered the siren call of the California gold rush in 1849 and worked as a miner for two years. By 1851, he had entered the liquor business in San Francisco.
James Clair Flood, also Irish born, met O'Brien in 1854 and the two men formed a business partnership. The combination of O'Brien's flair for public relations and Flood's financial genius resulted in a popular and prosperous saloon located on Washington Street in downtown San Francisco. By 1866, O'Brien and Flood had refocused their resources and efforts entirely on the investment and brokerage businesses.
Fortune would soon bring O'Brien and Flood in contact with another Irish duo that was seeking fortune in the western U.S.
James Graham Fair was born near Belfast on December 3, 1831. His parents brought him to Chicago in 1843. At age 18, he also answered the call of California's gold fields and became an expert mining engineer in the ensuing eleven years.
John William Mackay was born in Dublin in 1831 and immigrated to New York City with his parents in 1840. He became an apprentice shipbuilder in 1847. When his apprenticeship term was complete in 1851, he also struck out for California's gold fields, where he became an expert in mining construction.
There's Silver in Them Thar' Hills
The plot thickens when all four men answered a second siren call to fortune – in the silver-laden hills of Nevada.
In 1860, O'Brien and Flood used the profits from their saloon, brokerage service, and other investments to begin buying mining claims cheaply as the initial boom of Nevada's Comstock silver bonanza went bust. Mackay had gone to Nevada in 1859 where he began as a pick-and-shovel miner earning $4 per day. He was soon supervising timber crews, for which he was largely paid in stock in the mines on which he worked. Mackay and Fair met in 1864 and formed a partnership, which consolidated their existing mining claims and speculated on others.
All four men finally met in Nevada in 1865. Their personalities were as disparate as could be. Fair was a canny, inquisitive man who led a gaudy, irregular life. Mackay was a reserved man with simple tastes. Flood's financial brilliance enabled him to indulge a passion for philanthropy. O'Brien was a both quick study and a long-term thinker.
A Big Risk, a Bigger Payoff
Flood and O'Brien raised the $100,000 needed for the four partners to buy the Virginia Consolidated Mine in 1868. The purchase price reflected the widely held belief that the mine was situated on a "dead" part of the original Comstock strike. Fair and Mackay assiduously applied their mining expertise to the Virginia Consolidated until, in May of 1873, they discovered a high-grade vein of silver ore over 1,200 feet below the surface.
It turned out that our four Irish lads had struck the single largest silver deposit in the history of North America, and had struck it square in the middle. They were soon taking over $1 million per month of profits out of that "dead" mine. Altogether, more than $133 million in precious metals was extracted before operations ceased.
How did "overnight" fortune affect their lives? All four of them founded the Bank of Nevada and played prominent roles in the western U.S. power circles thereafter.
James Fair pursued politics and eventually became a U.S. senator for Nevada, serving from 1881-1887. He left a large fortune when he died, but was sadly estranged from his entire family by then.
James Flood pursued a lifelong interest in financial affairs. He greatly enriched both himself and his partners through clever manipulation of mine stocks during boom and bust cycles. He became a philanthropist of note, and served as a director of the Bank of Nevada almost until his death in 1926.
William O'Brien had no way of knowing that he would have less than five years in which to enjoy his newfound wealth. He passed away in San Rafael, California, on May 2, 1878.
John Mackay's wealth never rested easily on his shoulders. He disliked the distance it placed between him and his former peers, once commenting that, "winning at poker just isn't fun anymore". Still, he used his fortune to pursue new business interests. He founded the Commercial Cable Company in 1883, which laid two submarine cables between New York and Europe. He also organized the Postal Telegraph Company (a precursor to ITT) in 1886. He became a great philanthropist and passed away quietly, with his family around him, in 1902.
Such were the life and times of four Irishmen who lived large upon the stage of American history – The Silver Kings of the Comstock.

The History of Museums Todays Entertainment News
While this is true in the present, it wasn't ever the case. In this piece, we are going to look at the history of museums.
The very first museum that we see in history dates back to the beginning of Greece. Museums were not used to support sciences and arts in this time. You could find many tributes to gods within these early museums. The purpose of these museums was centered around the gods, and the people employed there were supposed to protect their work.
The first museum situated in Mesopotamia was built around 530 B.C. Its first curator was a princess who had accumulated art. Then, moving to the earliest times of Rome we can see the very first exhibit of art but this was reserved only for the elite class to see.
The 1800s brought the first museum in New York City. The majority of the items that were collected to be used in the museum was sourced from Europe. Animals were among the most well-known items can be found in the museum.
In general, the history of museums is fascinating. The first editions of museums are quite different from what we see today.

Q: how to get String array containing distinct characters? i have a String "iye" and i want make it distinct and also i have a array ["hi", "bye", "bebe"] and i want to make each element of the array and get the distinct characters only so my array would be like this ["hi", "bye", "be"] an then at last i want to take each element from that distinct array and count how many characters of distinctArray[i] are present in the distinct String "iye" and i will store that count for each element of distinct array in same order respectively to the elements of distinct array for e.g
sample input = "iyee" and ["hi", "bye", "bebe"]
sample ouput = [1, 2, 1]
below is my solution not working for larger inputs
      static int[] mathProfessor(String B,String[] a){
      List<String> distinct = new ArrayList<String>();
      int[] arr = new int[a.length];

      // store each value of names array as distinct value
      for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
        a[i].chars().distinct().forEach(c -> str.append((char) c));
        distinct.add(str.toString());
      }
      // System.out.println("distinct list: " + distinct.toString());

      // store the count
      int count = 0;
      for (int i = 0; i < distinct.size(); i++) {
        String s = distinct.get(i);
        for (int j = 0; j < B.length(); j++) {
          if (s.contains(Character.toString(B.charAt(j))))
            count++;
        }
        arr[i] = count;
        count = 0;
      }

      return arr;
    }

A: static int[] mathProfessor(String b, String[] a) {
    b = dist(b);
    int count = 0;
    String[] arr = new String[a.length];
    int[] countArr = new int[a.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
      arr[i] = dist(a[i]);
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < b.length(); j++) {
        if (arr[i].contains(Character.toString(b.charAt(j))))
          count++;
      }
      countArr[i] = count;
      count = 0;
    }

    //System.out.println(Arrays.toString(countArr));
    return countArr;
  }

  public static String dist(String s) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    Set<Character> set = new HashSet<Character>();
    for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
      if (set.add(s.charAt(i)) == true)
        sb.append(s.charAt(i));
    }
    return sb.toString();
  }

A: Using Java 8+ Streams:
    static int[] mathProfessor(String b, String[] a) {

        var distinctB = dist(b);
        System.out.println(distinctB);
        var result = new int[a.length];

        for(int i=0, j=a.length; i < j; i++) {
            result[i] = (int) Arrays.stream(dist(a[i]).split("")).filter(distinctB::contains).count();
        }

        return result;

      }

      public static String dist(String s) {
        Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();
        set.addAll(Arrays.asList(s.split("")));
        return String.join("", set);

      }
