This class is used to represent generic trajectories. The class parameter T can be anything that provides basic operation such as addition and subtraction. We'll define a trajectory that can be parameterized by a one-d parameter (called t). Based on a set of knots ( tuples <t, T>), we can evaluate the trajectory at any t, through interpolation. This is not used for extrapolation. Outside the range of the knots, the closest known value is returned instead.
This method removes everything from the trajectory.
This method returns the index of the first knot whose value is larger than the parameter value t. If no such index exists (t is larger than any of the values stored), then values.size() is returned.
Returns the position of the ith knot. It is assumed that i is within the correct range.
Returns the value of the ith knot. It is assumed that i is within the correct range.
This method is used to remove a knot from the current trajectory. It is assumed that i is within the correct range.
Sets the position of the ith knot to pos. It is assumed that i is within the correct range.
Sets the value of the ith knot to val. It is assumed that i is within the correct range.

Are you considering giving your house or business a new look? Do you need to repair water stains on walls and ceilings or over walls where mold was eliminated? It may be tempting to do the task yourself, which can result in cost savings. But, there are lots of reasons you should consider selecting a professional painter and decorator support.
Good painting of interiors or exteriors requires an investment in equipment — brushes, rollers, sprayers, tarp to shield surfaces and surfaces, ladders, scaffolding, sanders, chemical knifes, patching materials, solvents, the listing can quickly become long and pricey. Hiring a professional painter and decorator means that the painter comes will all of the tools they will require to perform the job correctly, will wash up those tools whenever they're completed and will require them away to be stored elsewhere.
A professional painter and decorator will have the ideal equipment and be educated and knowledgeable about the way to protect furniture, floors, cupboards, paths and other things that you don't need painted from any harm. If your job entails staining, a professional will have the correct equipment and expertise to use the stain properly to attain the right finish and once attained, shield the finish.
A professional painter and painter is going to learn that preparation is the key to a great looking, long lasting paint job. Areas with water or mold staining may require additional therapy and patching before they are ready for a final paint job. It is a good deal of work and if it's not done properly with appropriate tools and methods, it won't lead to an excellent finish.
Painting requires patience to generate a gorgeous quality finish and it also takes skill that's developed with practice and experience. A professional will learn how to complete all the preparation and painting tasks involved to achieve the best outcome.
Back in Dublin, there are a number of options a professional painter and decorator can start to you, which you could not have the skills or experience to do your self, including specific finishes (intumescent finishes (that are fireproof), faux finishes and textured painting, for instance ).
A professional painter may also know the substances which are required to perform the job correctly. Which primer will offer the right coverage? Latex or oil? Which primer foundation is required? What paint base? Spray or roller?
A professional painter will be able to recommend materials which are best to get the look you want, while avoiding any harm to your surfaces. With that advice, you can attain a greater quality finish that will last.
For outdoor tasks, a specialist will know the right weather, temperature and sun conditions to finish the job with all the best results. Stains react differently in direct sunlight than when it's overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain clearly impacts the job, humidity and heat may also impact the quality of exterior paint finishes.
Increasing on ladders while trying to apply paint correctly is a skilled job that requires careful focus and attention to prevent severe harm and harm. The greater the site that needs painting, the greater the danger of an accident. For interior projects with large areas or outside jobs, a professional painter will have all the tools and experience required to do the work correctly and safely, including the proper dimensions and design of the ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is precious and painting yourself requires a substantial quantity of time. Using a professional painter and decorator take care of the work for you can save you days and days of work, and can normally be achieved in a much shorter time period.
A study from Trinity College Dublin suggests the average Irish man needs 28 hours daily to accomplish all of his or her tasks. Prevent including a paint job to this and talk to a professional painter about your needs.


**#2 We'll call off bond sales anytime yields get out of hand –Maait: The Finance Ministry will continue to cancel auctions of domestic bonds so long as yields remain high, Finance Minister Mohamed Maait said on Tuesday. Calling off bond auctions is a crucial tool in Egypt's bid to keep its debt service obligations in check going forward, Maait is quoted by the domestic press as having said. His remarks came after the Finance Ministry called off its fourth treasury bond auction in as many weeks on Monday. Would-be buyers were asking for yields as high as 20% on five- and 10-year treasury bonds, a trader said.
Egypt is looking to make it easier for foreign investors to get into bonds and will do a non-deal roadshow in Asia to drum up interest,Maait told Bloomberg in a separate interview. Maait has opened talks with Belgium's Euroclear to facilitate the settlement of domestic debt for overseas investors, who can currently only access the debt market through a handful of local banks with licenses to operate as primary dealers. "Euroclear settles transactions in international and domestic securities in dozens of countries. Enlisting its services would make it easier for foreigners," Bloomberg quotes the minister as saying.
Testing appetite in Asia: Officials will head to Asia as early as the week after next to test appetite for potential JPY- and CNY-denominated bonds (called "samurai" and "panda" bonds in the trade), Reuters' Arabic service quotes Maait as having said. Stops will include Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia and possibly Japan. Maait's tip on the Asian roadshow comes less than two weeks after he suggested the government could look east for liquidity as yields on domestic debt got out of hand. The ministry is now looking for bankers to lead the Asian roadshow.
El Sisi to unveil debt reduction strategy in two weeks' time: Speaking of debt, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi is set to announce within two weeks a four-year strategy to reduce Egypt's debt to 70% of GDP, Maait said at a meeting with members of the French Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Al Mal reports. Maait had said earlier this month that his ministry is drafting a comprehensive debt control strategy that is set to be the cornerstone of the government's fiscal policy agenda. The strategy would set limits on both internal and external borrowing in a bid to bring down overall public debt levels. The country's foreign debt levels at the end of FY2017-18 stood at USD 92.64 bn.


Some years ago, Michael J.
Flanagan, a successful New York contractor, was standing on the deck of the Staten Island Ferry when a car got loose and sent him into the river where he drowned.
The following Sunday his widow, all decked out in deepest black, was standing on the church steps after Mass, receiving condolences and enjoying every minute of it, when an old friend of the contractor came up.
"I'm sorry, Mary, for your trouble," offered the friend.
"Did Mike leave you well fixed?" "Oh, he did!" she said.
"He left me almost a half million dollars." "Well now, that's not bad for a man who couldn't read or write." "Nor swim either," added the widow.

A property developer who carried out unauthorised demolition and works on a Grade II* listed building must carry out 250 hours of community service and pay fines and court costs following successful prosecution by Cheshire East Council.
As well as the unpaid community work, he was fined a total of £2,250 for the three offences under the Building Act and ordered to pay £65,000 costs plus a £85 victim surcharge when he appeared before South Cheshire Magistrates in Crewe.
Mr Daw runs a string of property companies, mostly registered to an address in Kent, but gave addresses in Knutsford and Burnley to the court and was previously living in a mobile home at Aston Park House.
The property, in Aston by Budworth, is described in records as a Queen Anne country house with its origins recorded in the Domesday Book.
The offences under the Listed Building Act included the unauthorised demolition of a two-storey historic cheese room and tradesman's entrance, the removal of sash windows, gable coping stones, guttering, lime mortar pointing, part of a staircase, floor tiles, door frames, window linings and architraves, ceilings and soffits, an external boundary wall and the use of insulation spray foam on the fabric of the building.
Notices have been served for the work to be rectified but some aspects of the historic fabric of the building have been permanently lost.
Councillor Paul Findlow, cabinet member for corporate policy and legal services, said: "This is another example of our team of professional officers having the knowledge and experience to pursue these complex cases with confidence.
Charles Smith, Historic England's north west principal adviser for heritage at risk, said: "Our built heritage makes a positive cultural, social and environment contribution to the nation. It is, however, a fragile resource.

Costante Girardengo (nacido en Novi Ligure el 18 de marzo de 1893 - fallecido en Cassano Spinola el 9 de febrero de 1978) fue un ciclista italiano, profesional entre los años 1912 y 1936, durante los cuales cosechó 87 victorias. Doble vencedor del Giro de Italia en 1919 y 1923.

Primeros años
Hijo de Carlo y Gaetana, nació en 1893 en una familia de agricultores piamonteses, siendo el quinto de siete hermanos. Acabada la escuela primaria, comenzó a trabajar en la reventa de sal y de tabaco en la taberna abierta por su padre. Siendo todavía un niño, se convirtió en el ídolo de Novi Ligure cuando batió al legendario corredor de maratón Dorando Pietri, que había ofrecido 2 liras para el ciclista que pudiera completar dos vueltas a la plaza del mercado en bici antes de que él diese una vuelta corriendo. Tras desempeñar como aprendiz diversos empleos, comenzó a competir con dieciséis años en 1909: su primer gran rival fue Biagio Cavanna, quien más tarde se haría conocido como descubridor de Fausto Coppi.

Carrera ciclista

Pasó al ciclismo profesional con apenas veinte años, tras deslumbrar como amateur. Ya en 1913 conquistó en Alessandria su primer título italiano. Para poder participar, tuvo que escaparse del servicio militar sin permiso, lo que le costó 45 días de arresto.

Tuvo una larga vida profesional, que se vio interrumpida por la Primera Guerra Mundial. La carrera que le consagró como campeón fue, sin duda, el Giro de Italia, que ganó en dos ocasiones y en donde consiguió 30 triunfos parciales. En 1914 ganó la etapa más larga jamás disputada en el Giro, con 430 kilómetros entre Lucca y Roma (en 17h:28m).

Solo participó una vez en el Tour de Francia, en el año 1914, pero tras varias caídas se vio obligado a abandonar. Además, fue nueve veces campeón de su país en ruta, seis veces ganador de la Milán-San Remo (marca que perduraría hasta que Eddy Merckx la superase 50 años después) y tres veces vencedor del Giro de Lombardía. En 1915 ganó la Milán-San Remo, pero fue descalificado por equivocar una parte del recorrido (apenas 180 metros de diferencia), a pesar de dejar al segundo clasificado a 5 minutos de diferencia.

Tal y como se ve contemplando su palmarés, Girardengo corrió casi exclusivamente en Italia. Sin embargo, además de su breve experiencia en el Tour, también intentó ganar en varias ocasiones la París-Roubaix, aunque nunca lo logró.

Fue un corredor muy regular, que siempre conseguía alguna victoria durante la temporada, excepción hecha de los años que duró la Primera Guerra Mundial. Sin embargo, podría decirse que los años 1923 y 1919, en los cuales consiguió sus dos Giros, fueron los mejores, profesionalmente hablando.

En 1927, compitió y terminó segundo en la primera edición del Campeonato del Mundo de ciclismo, celebrado en Nürburgring. Formó equipo con Alfredo Binda (vencedor), Gaetano Belloni y Domenico Piemontesi. El combinado italiano demostró un excelente trabajo en equipo y copó las cuatro primeras posiciones de aquel primer mundial.

A pesar de la Primera Guerra Mundial y de la aparición de Alfredo Binda (que pasó a dominar las grandes pruebas en Italia a partir de 1925), Girardengo tuvo una carrera llena de éxitos. En su época de plenitud dominó abrumadoramente el Giro de Italia: en 1919, de diez etapas, ganó siete y relegó a Tano Belloni, el "eterno segundo", a 51'56 ". Posteriormente, en sus últimas temporadas, tuvo que rendirse ante la superioridad de Alfredo Binda, nueve años más joven, y con el que mantuvo una enconada rivalidad que iba más allá de lo profesional, desde que Binda le relegase a la segunda posición en el Giro de 1925, que parecía predestinado a ser ganado por Girardengo. También desarrolló gran rivalidad con Giovanni Brunero, otro gran ciclista italiano que se adjudicó tres Giros en aquella época.

Profesional hasta 1936, cuando ya tenía 45 años, afirmaba haber recorrido en bicicleta unos "950.000 kilómetros, casi 25 vueltas alrededor de la Tierra". Su carrera estuvo a punto de verse truncada en 1919 por la epidemia de gripe española que asoló Italia después de la guerra. En 1926, la clavícula fracturada y una muñeca rota por una caída en la pista, estuvieron a punto de retirarle.

Cuando ya se daba por terminada su carrera, un columnista del "Corriere della Sera" escribió:

Su sencillo lema se hizo conocido en el mundo del ciclismo: «Ghe voeren i garún» (esta expresión en idioma lombardo se traduce al italiano por «Ci vogliono le gambe», y al español por «Se necesitan las piernas» ).

Tras retirarse del ciclismo profesional, Girardengo se convirtió en entrenador de un equipo ciclista. Además, cedió su nombre a una marca de bicicletas fabricadas entre los años 1951 y 1954, en el norte de Italia. Falleció en Cassano Spinola, cerca de su localidad natal, en 1978, a la edad de 85 años.

Reconocimientos y honores
 El superlativo italiano "campionissimo" (campeón de campeones), se utilizó para calificar sucesivamente a Costante Girardengo, Alfredo Binda, Gino Bartali y Fausto Coppi, y no volverá a ser utilizado para ningún otro campeón después de la muerte de este último.

Hublot could be a highly revered brand using the globe along with the brand is famous because of its superlative automatic timepieces for women and men.The replica Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph 45mm 521.NX.7170.LR watch reaches a league of their very own.
Now,let us introduce another watch,replica Hublot Classic FusionChronograph 45mm 521.NX.7170.LR watch resembles it,about Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC Watch,Hublot has released the Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC watch. The Classic Fusion case may be the more restrained and trendy kind of their bombastic Big Bang case, relatively speaking, clearly, that is possibly more fitting for almost any football team which will come within the glitzy district of Chelsea, London. Still, despite just like a more elegant kind of the greater popular Big Bang case, the Classic Fusion situation still cuts a outstanding presence across the wrist. Within the situation within the Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC watch, everything you have could be a large, 45mm-wide titanium case with a perfect mixture of satin and mirror finishing.
The dial in the watch is clearly inspired using the colors of Chelsea Football Team, that are nicknamed The Blues.The dial includes a blue sun-ray satin finish with large applied hour markers. Fittingly, the 12 o'clock hour marker remains substituted while using lion found in Chelsea's club crest. This watch includes a see-through azure case back, featuring a print within the Chelsea club crest. Within the watch beats Hublot's HUB1143 self-winding chronograph movement. Created from 280 components, it possesses a power reserve of 42 hrs that is commonplace movement within the Classic Fusion line.
Now, I must admit, Chelsea didn't make this happen well last season, but however, last season will be a shocker, as outsiders Leicester City won the leagues against all odds. If you're not experienced in British football, bookmakers had given Leicester City 5000-1 possibility of winning the league ¨C that's the amount of a shocker last season was. Still, there's no denying that Chelsea makes massive progress formerly twenty years. Within the side that frequently languished in the middle of the table, Chelsea has become one among the giants of world football, which is acknowledged for will to win. Combined with tactically astute Italian Antonio Conte inside the helm now, Chelsea will most likely be trying to exact revenge and may be observed as title challengers for the approaching season.
Their bond with Hublot is fitting. Like Chelsea, Hublot makes significant progress in recent occasions. It introduced the large Bang in 2005, plus it was quickly acquired by LVMH in 2008. After that, the business includes a unique in-house automatic chronograph movement while using the Unico and possesses also released lots of interesting watches such as the all azure Hublot Big Bang UNICO Azure watch (hands-on here) along with the amazing MP-05 LaFerrari watch (hands-on here) having a 50-day-extended power reserve.
Fortunately,within our online shop,we provide numerous types of super quality imitation watches,they're produced by best material,but they're not waterproof.Besides replica Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph 45mm 521.NX.7170.LR watch,furthermore, there's a sum of wonderful watches,welcome to visite them.

Q: SQL - select subset of IDs where sum(A) <= X and sum(B) is biggest I have table1:
CREATE TABLE table1 (
    itemID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    cost INTEGER NOT NULL,
    income INTEGER NOT NULL
);

I have MYMONEY amount of money.
I want SQL to give me the best combination of items which I can buy and sell later to get the biggest income (I sell the items after I leave the shop)
In other words:
Get the subset from table1 where sum of cost in this subset is less or equal to MYMONEY and the sum of income is highest.
For instance, if we have a table with tuples (1, 5, 10), (2, 3, 6), (3, 2, 5) and MYMONEY=5  subsets where the first condition is met are {(1, 5, 10)} and {(2, 3, 6), (3, 2, 5)}. The second condition says that the second subset is better, since sum of income in this subset is 11, where in the first subset sum of income is 10.
The point is, that those subsets may have various power. If I had a limit of subset's power, I could easily do it by joining or cross-producting the table enough times and choosing the best row.
I could use a counter c which says "now let's see only those subsets which power is equal to c" and use the solution with cross-product, but I find it slow and ugly.
In case there are many "best" subsets it may just give any of them or all, it is of no importance.
If it matters, I am using PostgreSQL and Java.

A: You should use the Knapsack algorithm. It's difficult to solve it in sql, so I advice you to get all needed data on client and calc then.

A: This can be done using SQL:
with recursive calc as (
   select itemid as itemid, array[itemid] as id_list, cost, income
   from table1
   where cost <= 5
   union all
   select c.itemid, p.id_list||c.itemid, c.cost + p.cost, c.income + p.income
   from table1 as c
     join calc as p on p.itemid < c.itemid
   where c.cost + p.cost <= 5
)
select *
from calc
order by income desc;

But just becaus it can be done, doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea to do it.
This query will have a horrible performance with any real-world table.
Here is a SQLFiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!15/10455/1

Niels Bohr Institutet, November 4, 2008 (J.H.M.) Fysik 6, Laboratory Exercise 6 Nonlinear circuit elements In this exercise we will investigate some common nonlinear circuit elements diodes and bipolar transistors. We will not attempt to understand in detail how those elements are made up and work � you would need advanced knowledge of solid state physics � but rather see how they behave and can be used for typical applications like rectifiers and amplifiers. 1 Linear and Nonlinear circuit elements So far in all the electronics experiments we used passive linear elements like resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Linear means here, that the voltage drop across such an element is directly proportional to the current flowing through the element. The proportionality constant - the impedance - in general depends on frequency. We have defined for convenience impedance as a complex quantity, so that we can treat time-dependent voltages and currents easily by looking at amplitudes and phase-shifts of harmonically varying signals of a given frequency and then adding the results together to construct arbitrary time- dependent signals. We are only allowed to do so, because the single elements in a more complicated network behave linearly, i.e. voltage drop depends linearly on the current through an element. This is, of course, only an idealization and all real devices are nonlinear to some extent. A resistor, for example, converts electrical energy into heat when current flows through it - if this heat is not removed from the body of the resistor the temperature will increase and with a change in temperature the resistance value will change. This means that the resistance value depends on the current that flows (and on the current at past times). Most of the time this is not desired, so one chooses materials for resistors with a low temperature coefficient of resistivity and shapes the resistors such that they are efficiently cooled by ambient air. In other cases, this nonlinearity is exactly what you want, for example in a fuse, where a wire junction breaks as soon as you send too high a current through it. If we have a circuit with nonlinear elements in it, we are not allowed to use the superposition principle anymore or simply scale up voltages and currents by a constant factor. It also means that a nonlinear circuit driven by a sinusoidally varying voltage of frequency at the input will show in general at the output a response also at multiples 0 f,f, f, f,... of the input frequency. On the other hand, the Kirchhoff rules the sum of currents into a node is zero the sum of voltage drops around a loop equals the sum of emf in the loop can � and must � still be used to analyze the behavior of a circuit, because they are directly derived from the conservation laws for charge and energy and independent of the relation between current and voltage in a given device. All we need to do to analyze a circuit, is to satisfy Kirchhoff�s rules and the possible nonlinear relations between current and voltage simultaneously. Figur 1: Circuit symbol of a diode with anode terminal to the left and cathode terminal to the right. 2 Diodes and transistors In most electronics circuits you will encounter diodes and transistors. A diode is a two-terminal device with one terminal named cathode and the second terminal named anode . The circuit symbol of a diode is shown in Figure 1. The terminal connected to the base of the triangle is the anode and the terminal connected to the crossbar is the cathode. On a real device the cathode terminal is marked with a ring. The relation between current diode through the diode and the voltage diode between anode and cathode terminal is well described by
Nonlinear circuit elements diode rs (exp ( diode αU th 1) (1) where rs , the so-called reverse saturation current, is a constant which depends mainly on material and geometry of the device, th kT/e is the thermal energy of an electron, and is a dimensionless correction factor with a value between 1 < 2. The value of th at room temperature is 25 mV By inspection of equation 1 you see that current flows in the diode much easier from anode to cathode (forward current) than the other way around (reverse current). Already at a forward voltage of 0 the current is orders of magnitude bigger than for the same voltage applied in the opposite direction. This property makes diodes useful to steer currents around in a circuit. The function is similar to a ball-valve in water pipes. In the experiment you will see this property and you will verify the nearly exponential dependence of current on voltage. To do this, you build a circuit with a series connection of a diode and a resistor, drive the system with an input voltage and measure the current through the diode by monitoring the voltage drop across the resistor (see Fig.2). Figur 2: Circuit to measure the current voltage characteristics of a diode. Very useful devices in a water pipe system are regulating valves, where a piston is used to vary the effective cross-section and thus the conductance of the pipe - you use that every day when you open and close a faucet. In an hydraulic system the position of the piston can be regulated by the pressure and flow in another smaller system of pipes. A transistor is essentially a translation of this concept into an electrical circuit. Figur 3: Circuit symbol of a bipolar npn-transistor showing the collector, base, and emitter terminals. A bipolar transistor is a 3-terminal device. The terminals are named collector base , and emitter The circuit symbol of a bipolar transistor is shown in Fig.3. Transistors come in different varieties. In the experiment we use npn-type transistors, which stands for a certain material composition of the transistor. In analogy to a regulating valve, with a transistor we can control the conductance, and thus the current into the collector terminal by setting the voltage between the base and the emitter terminals. Under normal operating conditions the potential at the collector is at least 0 more positive than the potential at the emitter terminal and the base terminal is about 0 more positive than the emitter terminal. The control input - the base emitter junction - behaves similar to a diode. You can measure
Nonlinear circuit elements that by shorting the collector to the base and measuring the current from base to emitter as a function of the base emitter voltage (see Fig.4). The control law connecting the current into the collector with Figur 4: Circuit to measure the current voltage characteristics of the base-emitter junction. the voltage between base and emitter be is given by rs (exp ( be th 1) (2) so it looks very similar to the diode equation, but here it is the current into the collector and not the current into the base, which is described. The current into the base is typically much smaller than the current into the collector, which makes the transistor such a useful device, because it allows us to use a small power to control a much bigger power. Kirchhoff�s rules tell us that the current out of the emitter terminal needs to be the sum of the currents into base and collector. In typical transistors the ratio between the base current and the collector current is several 100. Figur 5: Circuit to measure the basic relation between base-emitter voltage and collector current in a bipolar transistor circuit. A circuit where we can check the validity of equation 2 and which can work as a power amplifier is shown in Fig.5. When we apply a voltage between points and in the circuit, we can measure as outputs first the voltage BG . Knowing the values of and we can determine the current into the base terminal. Measuring for the same input the voltage across allows us to determine the current out of the emitter and combining the two measurements we also know the voltage between the base and the emitter. You will observe that the output voltage between emitter and ground is lower than the voltage between base and ground, so at first sight the advertised performance as an amplifier is disappointing.
Nonlinear circuit elements The important point to realize is, however, that the current through the emitter resistor is much higher than the current into the base. To see the principle of the amplifier better we extend the circuit somewhat by adding a dedicated control input to the circuit as shown in Fig.6. We connect an independent input source through a capacitor to the base terminal of the transistor. We add a resistor in series that allows us also to measure the input current. When the supply voltage to the collector terminal is on, we see that on top of a DC offset a copy of the input voltage appears across the emitter resistor with a time varying current flowing through the emitter resistor much higher than the current flowing through at the input. Figur 6: Input circuitry added to the circuit from Fig.5. The amplifier delivers more power to the resistor than it takes from the source connected to the input.
Nonlinear circuit elements 3 Experimental program IMPORTANT: For points 1-3 below you should use the Picoscope input coupling as DC . Remember you are measuring on nonlinear circuit elements, where knowledge of the DC voltage is essential to measure the current/voltage characteristics! 1. Build a circuit with a diode and a resistor in series combination as shown in Fig.2. Use the pulse generator set to �Squarewave�with a convenient frequency (around = 100 Hz ) as a voltage source to the input. Measure the voltage drop across the resistor for various input voltages between in ... 10 (Take at least 5 points in that interval!). Start with a resistor of = 1 Ω, and repeat the measurements with = 10 Ω and = 100 Ω. The use of different resistors allows you to vary the current over a large range, while still keeping good sensitivity for the current measurement at low current values. Use Kirchhoff�s rules to find the current through the diode from your measurement of the voltage across the resistor and to find the voltage drop across the diode from your measurement of the input voltage and the voltage across the resistor. Verify with your data the exponential dependence of the current flowing through the diode on the voltage drop across the diode! 2. Connect a sinusoidal voltage from the waveform generator with an amplitude around 1 and a frequency of your choice to the circuit and observe the output signal. Look at input and output signal with the spectrum analyzer (set a frequency range which allows you to see up to 10 times the input frequency) and explain what you see! Is it evident from your observation that a diode is a nonlinear circuit element? 3. Built the circuit shown in Fig.5 with the following values of components: ,R = 51 Ω, Ω. Use the pulse generator set to squarewave with 100 Hz and measure BG ,U EG for various input voltages between in = 1 ... 10 . Repeat for = 10 Ω and verify eq.2 with your data. To do this you need to determine the voltage difference between base and emitter from your measurements of BG and EG , the sum of collector and emitter current from your measurement of EG , and the base current from your measurement of in and BG . Make a plot of vs be ! How big is the ratio between collector current and the base current What happens if you replace by a short circuit? 4. If you have time left, extend the circuit as shown in Fig.6, connect the waveform generator (sinu- soidal) with amplitude around 1 and frequency set between = 2 kHz.... 100 kHz to the input and observe the gain behavior of the amplifier. Use a value for the load resistor of = 5 Ω. (For these measurements it is convenient to use AC-coupling of the Picoscope.) Try to measure the input current drawn from the waveform generator by measuring the voltage drop across the sense resistor (convenient values for are between 1 Ω and 5 Ω). How big is the input impedance of the amplifier? Can you explain why it has this value?

Something Like Posters!
Blog|News|Indiegogo
Festival variant poster. Click to enlarge.
CONTEST WINNER Based on a design submitted to our poster contest, we're proud to release the film festival edition of the poster for Something Like Summer.
Charleston, S.C., fine art and landscape photographer Michael Cyra was one of nearly two dozen people who submitted poster designs. His caught the eye of producers J.T. Tepnapa and Carlos Pedraza.
"Michael's striking image of a summer forest with the tree carving presented such a strong way to embody the film's central dramatic tension — Ben Bentley's struggle to claim his own identity, torn between the two men battling for his heart," Pedraza said.

In his entry, Michael said he was drawn to the symbolism of the trees in his photo:
"I like the subtlety of this image with two male names carved in love. The three trees represent our love triangle and even while being burned in the past there is always beautiful new growth," he said.
OIL PAINTING by Michael Cyra inspired by Chapter 1 of the novel. Click to enlarge.
THE SELECTED design was one of two submitted by Michael. He also sent in the image of an original oil painting inspired by the first chapter of the novel.
The poster will be used to market Something Like Summer during its film festival run this year, and appears as the festival variant poster on IMDb.
ACCESS BADGE worn by cast and crew on set. Click to enlarge.
ANOTHER STRONG contender was a design submitted by Ruben Arturo Perez Juarez, which was featured on the access badges used by cast and crew on set while filming in Oregon and California.
"The access badges remain one of the favorite keepsakes for people who worked on the movie, and who visited the set," Pedraza said.
He added that several of the other designs may yet see the light of day in other promotional materials for the film. "We were overwhelmed by the talent exhibited by these designs and are working to find other ways to highlight them," he said.

Pamela Anderson's Playboy Donation Rebuffed by Muslim Group
Rick Cohen
November 2, 2010; Source: Herald Sun | Is that Herald Sun headline a pun? Pamela Anderson recently pledged to donate the $25,000 she would receive for a Playboy cover shoot—nude, recreating Anita Ekberg in "La Dolce Vita"—to a charity that would provide assistance to Indonesian disaster victims (the charity is Waves for Water, which provides clean drinking water for disaster areas).
The idea didn't sit well with the Islamic Defenders Front, whose representative said the donation would be "against the law of God" due to the immorality of the Playboy photo shoot in the buff. "If she wants to be photographed naked, then she is challenging a bigger disaster to happen in Indonesia."
How interesting! Remember when fundamentalists John Hagee and Pat Robertson both attributed Hurricane Katrina to God's wrath against New Orleans for its immorality, emphasizing apparently the proclivity of some New Orleanians toward sinful "secular permissiveness," as Hagee put it (read: gay and lesbian). One U.S. radio talk jockey noted that the Islamic Defenders Front seems to believe that Anderson's immoral behavior might cause another tsunami, at least it would if Indonesian charities accepted the tainted dough.
This isn't Anderson's first foray into nudity on behalf of charity. Previously, she did a PETA shot in the nude as well as a couple of others in which she wore something other than a snowsuit (here and here)—she is a vegetarian, you know.
Waves for Water has been active not only in Indonesia, but in Haiti and Pakistan as well. In Indonesia, the Jakarta Globe said that Waves helped give water filters to 2,000 people in Padang and helped 37 villages in Bali get clean water.
The Islamic Defenders Front said it runs an aid center for disaster victims and asked the press not to write that it "can only kill people." We think the former Baywatch star's charitable generosity is noteworthy. We doubt she picked Indonesia simply to flaunt nude greenbacks. Imagine how the Front might have reacted to a donation from a David Hasselhoff photo shoot.—Rick Cohen
Rick joined NPQ in 2006, after almost eight years as the executive director of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP). Before that he played various roles as a community worker and advisor to others doing community work. He also worked in government. Cohen pursued investigative and analytical articles, advocated for increased philanthropic giving and access for disenfranchised constituencies, and promoted increased philanthropic and nonprofit accountability.

Peel carrots and cut in pieces about 1 1/2 inches long. Put into boiling water for 3 – 4 minutes.
They should be fairly firm. Drain and cool. Slice again in julienne (matchsticks) or round coins – your preference.
Peel oranges with a larger knife, taking a generous thickness that includes all the white pith. (I do it while holding the orange in my hand, over the salad bowl to collect the juice, but you can also do it on a cutting board.) Now holding the peeled orange in your hand, gently cut fruit sections out from the membranes with a sharp knife. Cut sections into smaller pieces, leaving a few for garnish.
Toast sesame seeds in a frying pan over medium heat until browned, 3 or 4 minutes.
Combine carrots, oranges, onions, seeds.
Combine dressing ingredients and toss with salad ingredients. Serve immediately or chill for a couple hours for a marinated flavor.

Frank B. Cobb, Jr.
April 1930 - May 2020
Due to the current need for social distancing, Frank's family regrets that his burial service will be delayed
After 90 years of bringing joy, encouragement and a positive caring spirit to his family and friends, Frank B. Cobb, Jr. left this earth on May 31, 2020 to join his treasured parents, Francis Burton (Burt) Cobb, Sr. and Edna Marie Cobb.
Frank B. Cobb, Jr. was born April 1, 1930, and raised in La Canada/Flintridge, California. His success as an entrepreneur in the floral business began in his early teens. He started by making corsages from his parents' cymbidium collection to sell to his fellow students at proms. After returning from his military service in the Korean War, he built greenhouses in Santa Barbara propagating and growing prize-winning cymbidium orchids.
Frank graduated from Claremont Men's College in 1952 while spending four years in ROTC Training. He entered the Army Military as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1952. Frank served in active duty in Incheon, Korea of the 24th Division. He was honorably discharged as a Reserve Commissioned Officer, First Lieutenant in 1954.
In Korea, he learned how important it was to keep positive morale upbeat in his troop. Frank's knack for innovation was evident when as a young officer, he noticed 400 villagers walking long distances for water. He persuaded his soldiers to dig a deep hole and with the help of dynamite, his hunch paid off. Frank tapped into a fresh water underground stream. This well is still being used today.
Another "morale-up-lifter" was to be creative with the Commissary food rations. He took leftovers jams/jellies and mixed into the vanilla ice cream to make his own version of "51 flavors" so the troops could have a variety of ice cream flavors and desserts. There are many morale-boosting stories that led to Frank receiving the Meritorious Achievement Bronze Star.
Frank never lost his interest in growing flowers after the Army. He returned to California and built greenhouses on a hillside in Santa Barbara. There he grew and bred cymbidium orchids and became a prominent and world renown orchid grower. He took Cobb's Orchid, Inc. and expanded to an additional company, Cobb's Santa Barbara Orchid Company which became a wholesale business delivering orchids and other fresh flowers to the local florists in the area. It was Frank's inventiveness and willingness to experiment that lead to his success in the floral business.
Working and growing his flower business in Santa Barbara led Frank to meet the love of his life, Shirley, who he married on April 14, 1956. When Shirley received a chrysanthemum potted plant while she was in the hospital having one of their 5 children, Frank was intrigued by the plant's long-lasting blooms. He decided to try growing chrysanthemums starting with 200 pots. He expanded and built 18 acres of greenhouses in Carpentaria, California. There the production increased to 20,000+ pots a week and in 1965, Sandyland Nursery Company, Inc. was born.
Frank was a pioneer in the flower business and his interests led him to experiment with not only orchids and mums but ferns, potted foliage and bromeliad plants. He was instrumental in encouraging grocery stores to sell potted plants. He was instrumental in encouraging grocery stores to sell potted plants. He developed computer-controlled programs along with his prized and elaborate tissue culture lab. He shared his groundbreaking plant care and research to help future growers benefit in the floriculture industry. His motivation and innovativeness even attracted the attention of National Geographic Magazine. People from all over the world came to visit his nursery and laboratory. Words of success increased the sale of potted plants in many grocery stores. After contracting with supermarket chains, his products were shipped across the United States. In 1978, his business expanded to Sandyland Nursery of New Mexico, Inc. with a combination of 50 acre of greenhouses and growing different varieties of turf in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Splitting his time between each of his locations was a challenge that Frank was up for. He was known to treat each of his 200+ employees in each location with respect. He offered Spanish and English classes on each nursery's premises. He even took Spanish classes himself so he could greet every employee in their language. His employees looked forward to the annual BBQ's in both states and you would always find Frank cooking and conversing with the families of all his employees.
As a family man, he enjoyed his children's talents, hobbies, and youth organizations. When his kids became 4-H members, he not only supported their animal projects at the fairs, but he was known for encouraging his friends to become buyers for every child's animal project in his community. He would then donate what bought at the fair, as well as cook, at the annual church BBQs.
In 1980 Frank was awarded the California Small Business Person of the Year. He then went on to compete for the National Small Business Person of the Year. On May 13, 1981 he was invited by President Ronald Reagan to Washington D.C. to represent California as the 1st runner-up of this National Title. At the award ceremony in the Presidential Rose Garden, he accepted this prestigious honor from Vice President George H.W. Bush who later would become the 41st President. Frank's motto was to graciously welcome competition, work hard, and make things happen.
Frank was always an active member of his community. He served as president of the Ventura Production Credit Association, president of the Santa Barbara County Flower Growers Association, president of the Tri-Counties Flower Growers Association, Director of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, supported Carpentaria's Chamber of Commerce and for over 17 years served as a National Judge for the Cymbidium Society of America.
Wherever Frank went and whatever he did, he always had a positive and caring attitude and thought the best of each person he met while treating everyone with respect. He taught his children that they could accomplish anything and everything that they put their mind and heart into.
He is survived by his wife Shirley of 64 years of marriage and five children Sherrie (Leo), Pennie (Dave), Kim (Jim), Jeannie (Brian), Burt III (Lori) and grandsons Justin, Tyler (Erin), Nicholas and great granddaughters: Tinley and Kennedy. He is also survived by his sister Rita Dundee (Vince Jr.) and numerous and much loved nieces and nephews.
Due to the current need for social distancing, Frank's family regrets that his burial service will be delayed. His family would like to express their gratitude to all those who shared their friendship and joy with the many cards, letters and phone calls that lifted his spirits. We especially want to include the nursing and caregivers and wonderful staff of Samaritan Village and the loving care of Community Hospice in Hughson.
In lieu of flowers, please share Frank's generosity forward by giving a plant or flowers to a friend or neighbor to encourage hope and to share his cheerfulness through this pandemic letting everyone know they matter. Please support your local high schools and college's Floriculture Department in honor of: Frank B. Cobb, Jr.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned by the company. Like most metal surfaces, when it is subject to extreme amounts of force and rubbed against other metal surfaces, it creates friction and this leads to integral breakdown. There are many consequences to a hip joint breaking down prematurely.
As our Boston DePuy Pinnacle injury lawyers can explain, the metal breakdown can lead to a total device failure. No artificial hip will last forever, but they are supposed to last at the very least for over ten years. If you have recently had an artificial hip implanted and are experiencing a great deal of pain, you should go back to your orthopedic surgeon as soon as you can get an appointment. If your surgeon tells you the joint has broken down, and you need to have another artificial hip implant, you should contact an experienced defective medical products attorney in Boston as a soon as possible to see if you have a valid products liability claim.
In addition to an artificial hip implant breakdown, there were also cases where the metal shards would enter the plaintiff's bloodstream and this can result in a dangerous type of poisoning known as metalosis. While DePuy tries to argue that this is not a real disease, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearly lists on its website how a metal-on-metal hip implant can lead to metal ions entering the patient's system and breaking down the patient's tissue.
While our injury attorneys are primarily concerned with Pinnacle or Pinnacle ASR hips sold in the U.S., these devices are sold all over the world. According to one recent article from the Telegraph, the high court in Britain has just been presented with evidence that safety tests performed by DePuy involving the metal-on-metal hip implants had serious flaws. The allegations are the hip implant safety testing experiments presented to the British counterpart of the U.S. FDA were not done according to acceptable scientific standards.
Specifically, there were four major safety tests conducted at DePuy's United Kingdom headquarters between 2000 and 2004. There was a doctor hired to supervise the testing, but he was not physically present to perform this supervision as revealed in company internal emails that have been discovered. In one experiment, there were five tests performed on the defective hips and in three of these cases, the ball and socket joint suffered a complete failure. Instead of properly handling the situation, emails showed the company engaged in what they referred to as "brainstorming" sessions to figure out why the devices fell apart. Brainstorming may be a common practice, but it is not a scientifically accepted way to address critical device failure, according to experts.
In one of the tests, the failure of the hip implant was so loud, engineers could actually hear it break. Instead of continuing the test and declaring it a failure, they opined the loud sound came from the testing machine and cancelled further tests of that type. This is another troubling revelation involving the safety testing of the DePuy artificial hip implant.
While these tests were conducted in the United Kingdom in accordance with British laws and regulations, the discovery is relevant to artificial hip implants in Boston as well. It shows the company knew or should have known of serious design flaws and failed to take appropriate action in response to what they learned. It also shows a potential pattern of negligent conduct on behalf of the company that could be relevant in local defective hip implant cases.
Other tests revealed that there was a substantial protein buildup that could result from the metal-on-metal construction when the implant was placed in human patients. This protein buildup can increase the friction and that can result in joint breakdown. As noted in this article, when the safety problems were first learned, the company did not discontinue selling the device. When surgeons around the world learned of these defects in design, sales declined and the company eventually pulled it from the market in 2013 and stated that was only done to due low use in the market. There were no recalls or safety advisories put out by the company prior to pulling the device from the market once surgeons had stopped using it on their own.
The problem with a defective hip is that even if the surgeon is well trained and very experienced in implanting these devices, if they have no idea the device was defectively designed, there is nothing that can be done to lessen the risk of a partial or total device failure or a patient becoming sick from the metal ions released due to friction. This is not say a device cannot fail due to medical malpractice committed by the doctors, but the vast majority of these cases had nothing to do with surgical errors and were due to defectively designed artificial hip implants.
In the U.S. alone, there are hundreds of thousands of artificial hip implants placed in patients each year so we are dealing with a lot of victims from these defective hips as they controlled a significant share of the market at one time. In the UK, there were 20,000 DePuy metal-on-metal hips implanted before they were pulled from the market.


This is the epitome of all romantic scenes in Venice. There is nothing that inspires love like taking a gondola ride through the city's narrow canals past historic multi-colored buildings. Add to that a summer sunset and a bottle of wine with your partner and you've got one of the most dreamy scenes in Venice.
If you're up for it, you can also enjoy a gondola ride with a gondolier playing romantic Venetian music for the duration of your cruise. A gondola ride isn't cheap, coming in at around 80 Euro's ($90USD) but it's a once in a lifetime experience in one of the world's most beautiful cities in the world. It will leave you with invaluable memories that you can take back home with you forever.
The Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century old waterfront church that's located on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. Its bell tower gives you an expansive view of the entire city. The position allows you to see the numerous Venetian lagoons and the way they're all connected by the canals. The real highlight of this is climbing the bell tower at sunset to get another romantic view of the city.
After that, you can explore the church and admire the Renaissance-inspired paintings adorning the walls. Interestingly, the church only has a few works of art and its walls are mostly left white and bare as the Benedictine monks would not allow people to decorate them.
Whether you are an avid operagoer or not, the opera at the Musica a Palazzo is unlike any other opera you've seen. This opera show is set amongst a candlelight setting and music takes place in three different rooms. The lighting, music, audience (less than 100 people), and the small trio of singers create an intimate atmosphere you won't find at any other opera house in Venice.
Each of the three rooms offers great views of the city, original state furnishings and frescoes that add to the intimate setting you'll experience.
The city center is the tourist focal point of Venice. Here you can find the Rialto Bridge, the famous St. Marks' Church and other notable attractions. However, if you want to truly experience more of this city's charm, you need to get out of the main area and head to one of the many small islands such as Murano or Burano.
Venice is a very small city comprised of canals and narrow streets. Getting lost and wandering aimlessly amongst these centuries-old calle is one of the many joys of Venice. Take in the solitude of these quiet streets together with the bustling main squares and markets to truly experience the real Venice.
Venice is a city for love and hopeless romantics. If you'd like to book a trip to Venice, call us today to talk to an Italian travel expert 877-723-0802.

Albany Street is a road in London running from Marylebone Road to Gloucester Gate following the east side of Regent's Park. It is about three-quarters of a mile in length.

History

The street was laid out during the 1820s, and takes its name from Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, the younger brother of King George IV.

The freeholds of the west side of the street are owned by the Crown Estate, as part of Regent's Park.  The southern part of the east side of the street is part of the Regent's Park Estate.

The building numbering system has odd numbers on the west side, and even numbers on the east. At the Marylebone Road end is the Holy Trinity Church. Adjacent is The White House, formerly a block of luxury flats, it is now a hotel named The Melia White House. Both stand on traffic islands to themselves. Numbers 31 and 33 are Grade I listed buildings, designed by John Nash. Between 35 and 55 there is an inserted street. This area was occupied by a huge construction called "The Colosseum" designed by Decimus Burton. It was demolished in 1875, and replaced by houses called "Colosseum Terrace" in 1878.

At 55 there is a blue plaque dedicated to the social researcher and reformist Henry Mayhew. On the east side is the Antiochian Orthodox St George's Cathedral (formerly the Anglican Christ Church) which contains a stained-glass window by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. At 152-4 was an ophthalmic hospital designed by John Nash; this was replaced by the "Regents Park Manufactory" where Goldsworthy Gurney built his steam carriages, while also working as a surgeon. The site is now occupied by a pub called "The Victory". At 166, the poet Christina Rossetti lived for a couple of years. Also on the east side is the Regent's Park Barracks. At 197 there is a blue plaque dedicated to the composer Constant Lambert, who lived and died there with his wife, the painter and designer Isabel Nicholas (later Rawsthorne).

Finally there is a blue plaque for the author W. W. Jacobs. He lived at 15 Gloucester Gate, but for some reason the plaque has been placed on Albany Street, at the back entrance to his house.

Were Hedge Funds Right About Dumping TriNet Group Inc (TNET)?
As we already know from media reports and hedge fund investor letters, hedge funds delivered their best returns in a decade. Most investors who decided to stick with hedge funds after a rough 2018 recouped their losses by the end of the third quarter. We get to see hedge funds' thoughts towards the market and individual stocks by aggregating their quarterly portfolio movements and reading their investor letters. In this article, we will particularly take a look at what hedge funds think about TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET).
TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET) was in 18 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of September. TNET investors should pay attention to a decrease in support from the world's most elite money managers lately. There were 21 hedge funds in our database with TNET holdings at the end of the previous quarter. Our calculations also showed that TNET isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds (click for Q3 rankings and see the video below for Q2 rankings).
Dmitry Balyasny of Balyasny Asset Managemnet
We leave no stone unturned when looking for the next great investment idea. For example Europe is set to become the world's largest cannabis market, so we check out this European marijuana stock pitch. One of the most bullish analysts in America just put his money where his mouth is. He says, "I'm investing more today than I did back in early 2009." So we check out his pitch. We read hedge fund investor letters and listen to stock pitches at hedge fund conferences. We also rely on the best performing hedge funds' buy/sell signals. Let's analyze the key hedge fund action encompassing TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET).
What does smart money think about TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET)?
At Q3's end, a total of 18 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey held long positions in this stock, a change of -14% from the second quarter of 2019. The graph below displays the number of hedge funds with bullish position in TNET over the last 17 quarters. So, let's review which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
Among these funds, Cantillon Capital Management held the most valuable stake in TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET), which was worth $256.8 million at the end of the third quarter. On the second spot was Balyasny Asset Management which amassed $23.7 million worth of shares. Harbor Spring Capital, D E Shaw, and Millennium Management were also very fond of the stock, becoming one of the largest hedge fund holders of the company. In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Harbor Spring Capital allocated the biggest weight to TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET), around 2.75% of its 13F portfolio. Cantillon Capital Management is also relatively very bullish on the stock, earmarking 2.5 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to TNET.
Seeing as TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET) has witnessed bearish sentiment from the smart money, logic holds that there was a specific group of funds that elected to cut their entire stakes by the end of the third quarter. At the top of the heap, Michael Kahan and Jeremy Kahan's North Peak Capital dumped the largest position of the "upper crust" of funds tracked by Insider Monkey, valued at an estimated $13.6 million in stock, and Peter Seuss's Prana Capital Management was right behind this move, as the fund dropped about $3.6 million worth. These moves are intriguing to say the least, as total hedge fund interest dropped by 3 funds by the end of the third quarter.
Let's now take a look at hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET) but similarly valued. These stocks are PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ:PACW), Aaron's, Inc. (NYSE:AAN), argenx SE (NASDAQ:ARGX), and Pure Storage, Inc. (NYSE:PSTG). This group of stocks' market values are closest to TNET's market value.
PACW 23 251367 3
AAN 18 310016 -4
ARGX 24 619897 2
PSTG 32 690528 9
Average 24.25 467952 2.5
As you can see these stocks had an average of 24.25 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $468 million. That figure was $419 million in TNET's case. Pure Storage, Inc. (NYSE:PSTG) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Aaron's, Inc. (NYSE:AAN) is the least popular one with only 18 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks TriNet Group Inc (NYSE:TNET) is even less popular than AAN. Hedge funds dodged a bullet by taking a bearish stance towards TNET. Our calculations showed that the top 20 most popular hedge fund stocks returned 37.4% in 2019 through the end of November and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by 9.9 percentage points. Unfortunately TNET wasn't nearly as popular as these 20 stocks (hedge fund sentiment was very bearish); TNET investors were disappointed as the stock returned -12% during the fourth quarter (through the end of November) and underperformed the market. If you are interested in investing in large cap stocks with huge upside potential, you should check out the top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds as 70 percent of these stocks already outperformed the market so far in Q4.

For extended sessions you need your bait to stay fresh and if your baiting method is a throwing stick then your boilies need to be hard enough to withstand the force. In order to dry them out effectively a good quality air-dry bag is needed and having the correct size for the amount of bait you need to dry will also help.

CBSSports.com opens fantasy sports platform to developers
Third-party developers will be able to create and sell league-specific apps that can be integrated with players' teams, helping to streamline the decision-making process.
Steven Musil
CBSSports.com announced today it is opening its fantasy sports platform to third-party developers, allowing them to create free and premium league-specific apps.
Among the first half-dozen partners in the "Fantasy Platform" are MLB.com and Bloomberg Sports, CBS said in an announcement today at the 2012 Fantasy Sports Trade Association Winter Business Conference in Las Vegas. (CBSSports.com is part of CBS Interactive, which also operates CNET.) Advanced Sports Media, Rotowire, StatSheet, and Ziguana will also be partners in the platform.
Jason Kint, senior vice president of CBSSports.com, said the Fantasy Platform is designed to offer fantasy team managers the chance to integrate other companies' products and services directly into their fantasy sports teams, helping to streamline the decision-making process.
"The way people play fantasy sports has dramatically changed over the last ten years with players using a ton more tools and products produced by a growing number of businesses," Kint said in a statement. "Providing outside developers access to our proprietary service will benefit the entire fantasy industry ecosystem, creating additional value for companies, developers and advertisers while consolidating and enhancing the experience for fantasy players."
The apps built on the newly opened platform will be available on CBSSports.com App Central when CBS' Fantasy Baseball product launches on January 31. A developer web site for the platform offers APIs developers interested in creating apps for the platform.

Tape Ark Founder and CEO Guy Holmes is honoured to have addressed the Australian Data Management Association (DAMA) Sydney Chapter last Tuesday 8th May with a lively and engaging presentation centred around the world's growing collection of tapes and tape data.
Tape Ark has today announced the launch of a comprehensive array of cloud based geophysical data management and data storage services for the oil industry to help manage data from acquisition through to archive.
The oil industry has a long and combative love affair with tape based data storage. Tape based data storage was always done as a matter of course, because no other viable options were available. However, with significant changes to cloud storage pricing and the addition of new tools for data analytics and processing, tape is rapidly becoming the second cousin in the industry.

Preschool Dance • Teenagers and dance5 things you won't want to teach Preschool Dance without.
All Preschool Dance teachers agree on one thing! Preparation is KEY and a big part of preparation is having the right tools.To make life easier, I've compiled a list of 5 things you definitely don't want to approach a preschool dance class without.
Place Markers – classroom management is vital to successful preschool dance classes. You can read more about how to set up your Preschool Dance class here. Basically you want to have a designated place in the room where each student stands. This helps with confidence to enter the room and is SO important for class management. This designated spot needs to be marked out in some way. You can use little bath mats or Poly Dots like these. Start off with one for each child in your preferred pattern (circle, lines), and then as the class progresses you can move them to help with across the floor work.
Scarves – I NEVER enter a Preschool dance class without my bag of trusty scarves. You can buy some multicoloured ones here or make your own by buying a big piece of fabric (one the doesn't need hemming) and cutting them yourself. Possibilities with scarves are endless – practicing levels (scarf up, scarf down), sautés with scarves, peek-a-boo practicing facial expressions, shapes, folding.
Pom Poms – Pom Pom's solve everything. Really, they do. They are just perfect for the end of a class – the kids LOVE them, they get to let off some steam after concentrating and its just makes a nice end to your class when everything ends on a good note. Some of my most disastrous preschool dance classes have been saved in an INSTANT by pom poms. These are GREAT!!! They have saved me SO MANY TIMES!I like to have all the same colour as I don't like an otherwise happy experience ruined by kids squabbling over which colour they want or worse still, factions forming – "we have the pink pom poms, you don't, you can't join us". Things can go south so quickly, just get the same colour and keep the whole thing upbeat and fun.
Stickers – What Preschool Dance class would be complete without a sticker to finish off. It marks the finish of the class and helps ensure that everyone leaves happy. I've seen even the WORST mood lifted when sticker time rolls around. As tempting as it is, it is very important not to use stickers as a bargaining tool. You won't win. Never say things like, "you won't get a sticker if you don't line up", or "you can have 2 stickers if you do this step". This is just a recipe for disaster! First of all, the kids will probably call you out and still refuse to do whatever it is you want them to. Dealing with the consequences of not giving one preschool child a sticker at the end of class is just REALLY NOT worth it. Giving more than one sticker is a slippery slope, avoid at all costs. Positive reinforcement is so much better. I do sometimes give out more than one sticker, sometimes I will give a whole sheet of stickers when the class has been really, really good. Just don't start bargaining with stickers – you will lose!

Best Hacking Tools for Linux Operating System
Linux is an open source operating system which is freely distributable. It is a cross-platform OS based on Unix which can be installed on laptops, PCs, netbooks, tablet devices, mobiles, video game consoles, supercomputers, etc. Similar to other OS like Windows, OS X, and iOS, it has a graphical interface and similar kinds of software like word processing applications.
However, it is different in other ways from other Operating Systems, for example, it is available to public to view, edit as it is free, and it is incredibly customizable.
It differs from Unix though most of the features are similar. Both have similar tools for interfacing with file system layout, programming tools, etc. But Unix is not free. Most of the webpages which are generated in internet through Linux servers as these are highly secure receive a good support from large number of users. Many commercial companies like Red Hat, Canonical and SUSE also are supporting Linux.
Hacking is something which is common today. It is exploiting computer systems or a private network via identifying weakness and gaining unauthorized access. It is a punishable act, however, talented technological people try it for varied purposes. If anyone is looking for best hacking tools for Linux operating system, then let us learn here about it. First of all, the person should know its operation so that he can get started with the hacking process.
The best version of Linux considered for hacking are Kali Linux, Parrot Security Os, BackBox, Pentoo Linux, Samurai Web testing framework, DEFT Linux, Caine and Network security toolkit (NST).Many hacking tools are available with hackers and Linux has most powerful hacking tools that can be used at ease. Kali Linux is known as the best hacking tool operating system, it is maintained and funded by Offensive security. It is free for download and Kali Linux images are generated every few months.
It can be downloaded with latest release through internet. BackBox Linux is another free open source community project that is built on one of the cloud platforms for penetration testing. It can be downloaded from BackBox penetration testing operating system. BackTrack Linux is used for ethical hacking and it started with earlier versions of Linux distributions including Whoppix, Auditor and IWHAX. BAckTrack Linux is similar to Kali Linux, in some ways the latter is better to choose.
BlackArch Linux is an Arch based penetration testing distribution used by penetration testers and security researchers. Its repository has over 1600 tools. BlackArch contains multiple windows. DEFT stands for Digital Evvidence and Forensics Toolkit which is a distribution made for computer forensics. It is based on GNU Linux and run live via USB pendrive or DVD ROM.
IT is installed or run as a virtual appliance on Virtualbox or VMware. NST or Network security toolkit was designed to provide easy access to best Open source network security applications and has easy access. Besides all of these hacking tools, there are more tools like Pentoo, NodZero, GnackTrick, Bugtracq, Knoppix STD, etc.
A professional hacker will know all tricks and skills to make use of these tools. The cyber space security team makes the best use of it.

Playback Theatre as a Tool for Dialogue
The Playback Theatre technique is used widely in both therapeutic and artistic settings. Although it is unique in its ability to serve both arenas simultaneously, Playback Theatre is fundamentally about creating dialogue and connection through the telling and witnessing/honoring of our life experiences. These stories may be about trauma, family, work, love, hopes, fears, regrets, dreams, desires, or transformation/transition—whatever the theme, every story from every community member deserves to be listened to with an open ear. In Playback Theatre we attempt to honor our differences by celebrating our commonalties.
PLAYBACK THEATRE is spontaneous theatre based on stories told by audience members. Life stories are shared, cast, and then enacted on the spot by a team of actors/dancers and a musician. Be they comic or tragic, our life stories are full of important moments worth sharing and remembering. Telling our stories to each other in a theatrical context is both redemptive and invigorating. Listening to the stories of our community is crucial as we strive towards a world without discrimination, rather a world full of compassion and inclusivity.
The objective of Big Apple Playback Theatre is three-fold: to invite dialogue, build community, and to create compelling theatre. It therefore lives on the cusp between art and social change and provides opportunity for laughter, reflection, and connection.
Inspired by the experimental theatre movement, psychodrama, and oral tradition of indigenous cultures, Playback Theatre was created in upstate New York in the 1970s by Jonathan Fox, Jo Salas, and the original PT Company. The method is now practiced across the world in sixty countries, and is used in a variety of settings including conferences, schools, colleges, prisons, hospitals, service agencies, and public theatres.
Big Apple Playback Theatre serves various populations and organizations.
The technique is used for entertainment, as well as a tool for mediation, dialogue, and self/community reflection. A list of partners we collaborate with is:
Elementary, Middle & Secondary Schools
Public Theatres
Birthday Parties, Weddings & Religious Functions
Homeless & Youth Shelters

What I want is to place the title as headers in expandable listview and the artist as item.
What I know is to create the header manually and populate it with arrays. How to do this?
Here is my code:
listDataHeader = new ArrayList<String>();
listDataChild = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();

String[] a = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.arr_title);
String[] b = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.arr_artist);

for ( String str : a ) {
    listDataHeader.add(str);

int counter = 0;
List<String> artist = new ArrayList<String>();
for ( String str : b ) {
    artist.add(str);
    listDataChild.put(listDataHeader.get(counter), artist);
    counter = counter + 1;

Host Cayman looks forward to CWU20
CONCACAF General Secretary Enrique Sanz reveals Cayman Islands at the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship draw on November 5, 2013. (Photo: BetterAngle Photography)
GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands – At next year's CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship, the Cayman Islands plans to deliver solid performances on home soil.
The tournament host was drafted into Group B along with Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago and Honduras at draw and logo unveiling on Tuesday.
"This is great exposure for our team and our country," said a beaming Martha Godet, the Director of Cayman Islands Women's programme. "We are just going to give it our best."
To bolster its chances of progressing in the competition, Cayman plans on calling up some of its foreign-based players.
"We have seven players overseas at high school and university coming home to help," Godet noted. "There will be a training camp later this month and they will be joining us."
Cayman will make its debut at the finals of a CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship, when it meets Mexico on January 10 at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex.
The top three teams advance to the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup next August in Canada.
In 2010, the Cayman Islands qualified for the finals of the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Championship, where it had a win and two losses in three games.
