On Oct. 3, 2018, Upwork became a public company listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Its stock was offered at $15 per share and has since been trading in the $19 to $21 range, giving it a market valuation on the order of $2 billion. This was a company that emerged from a new segment of innovative, online platform intermediaries, and just six years ago, was widely considered to be a non-starter, even dismissed as a "flash-in-the-pan," by practitioners in the staffing industry. Now, based on gross revenue/gross services volume, it would rank among some of the world's largest staffing companies. The Upwork IPO was not only an important milestone in the evolving and increasingly digitized contingent workforce space, it also presented an opportunity to look more clearly into the company and assess where it stands (and might eventually stand) in the space. In this Spend Matters PRO brief we take a look at both. We provide a snapshot of key Upwork information to highlight what the company actually is and what it represents in the industry vs. common industry perceptions.

I was delighted to be one of the keynote speakers at Edinburgh Chamber's latest Breakfast Connections event towards the end of last week. Sharing the platform with Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport and Mally Graveson, Managing Director of HeeHaw we shared our experiences of when and why we've been bold in business to help deliver results.
Following the launch of our white paper 'Fortune favours the bold' in May it's been fantastic to hear from so many businesses about what being bold means to them. From our perspective, delivering competition to all non-household customers in Scotland – a world first – and pushing for competition to be introduced in England have been bold moves. For Mally being bold encouraged him to take the risk of starting his own business. And for Gordon adopting a bold approach has allowed him to be ambitious in his end goal for the Airport – to be the best business in Scotland.
Boldness doesn't mean the same thing to every business – what's right for one company won't be right for the next – but it can and does engender a sense of ambition, vision and positivity that will help deliver results.
Do you think of yourself as a bold company? Want to know how bold you are? Try our bold barometer.
Do you want to be bolder? If so, when and why and how should you become bold? Our top tips should really help.

As ruínas da Torre de Vasconcellos, popularmente referida como Casa dos Mouros, e sua honra localizam-se na freguesia de Ferreiros, Prozelo e Besteiros, município de Amares, distrito de Braga, em Portugal.

Edificada num esporão de terreno sobranceiro à ribeira de Bárrio, perto do lugar de Vasconcelos, as ruínas atualmente existentes, constituem os vestígios de um dos raros paços de origem românica no país.

Aqui viveu o poeta português do século XVI Sá de Miranda.

No princípio do século XIX surge como seu proprietário Luís Machado de Mendonça Eça Castro e Vasconcelos, moço-fidalgo da Casa Real, com descendência nos condes da Figueira.

Encontra-se classificada como Imóvel de Interesse Público pelo Decreto 37077 de 29 de setembro de 1948.

História
Acredita-se que tenha sido edificada em meados do século XIII, por Pero Anes de Vasconcelos e Rodrigo Anes de Vasconcelos, este último nascido em 1230, casado com D. Mécia Rodrigues de Penela, e que foram os fundadores da Honra de Vasconcelos. Eram filhos de D. João Peres de Vasconcelos, "O Tenreiro", nascido em 1200, e de sua esposa, D. Maria Soares Coelho, nascida em 1210. Este, por sua vez era filho de D. Pedro Martins da Torre, nascido em 1160, e senhor da Torre de Vasconcelos e de D. Teresa Soares da Silva, nascida em 1160 e que foi a sua segunda esposa.

Características
Trata-se de uma estrutura do género "domus fortis", com a função de paço senhorial. A primitiva construção era constituída por uma torre - que servia de refúgio em caso de ataque - e, de um anexo residencial de planta retangular.

A torre apresentava planta quadrangular e, do que em parte se mantém, conserva o seu portal. Uma porta grande, rasgada no mesmo tipo de arcatura, que servia para fazer a ligação com o corpo do edifício anexo. Nas ruínas desta construção ainda existe uma grande porta em arco ogival.

The Sweeping Impact of New U.S. Semiconductor Restrictions
China's chip industry faces a brain drain under personnel rules; supercomputers take a hit; and chipmakers may have to just make do with old technology.
Caixin Global
The Biden administration landed its heaviest blows yet in this month's escalation of the U.S. war on China's semiconductor ambitions. The sweeping new restrictions unveiled Oct. 7 affect not only the sale of advanced integrated circuits, sophisticated chipmaking equipment, and supercomputer parts but also China's ability to hire top talent.
In the short term, the restrictions will limit Chinese chipmakers' ability to make certain types of electronic devices that are at the heart of modern products ranging from household appliances to mobile phones, smart electric vehicles, and advanced military weapons. In the long term, the policies may spur China to try to accelerate its self-sufficiency drive in semiconductors and the equipment to produce them, industry experts say.
The new American policies have also roiled the global semiconductor industry. They amount to a "double-edged sword" as American companies will also suffer heavy losses, according to ICwise chief analyst Gu Wenjun. China is the largest market for the three biggest U.S. semiconductor equipment suppliers, accounting for 33% of Applied Materials Inc.'s revenue, 35% of Lam Research Corp.'s, and 26% of KLA Corp.'s, according to ICwise.
Washington has been ratcheting up export controls and investment barriers targeting China's semiconductor sector for at least three years. Authorities telegraphed the most recent move months ago. An American chip industry executive warned of an expansion of export restrictions as early as July. Lam Research, a California-based supplier of silicon wafer fabrication gear, received notice from authorities to bar shipments to China of advanced chip-making machinery, the company's chief executive Tim Archer said July 27.
In September, Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. were barred from exporting to China their highly sought processing units that use the latest generation of chip technology.
Surprise personnel rules
The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) now requires Americans participating in advanced chip production in China to apply for permits to do so. The new rules put such people working in China under the same stringent regulations as those participating in nuclear, biological, and missile proliferation activities outside the U.S., said Dai Menghao, compliance counsel at Hong Kong-based law firm King & Wood Mallesons.
As much as Chinese companies anticipated expanded export controls, the restrictions on talent caught the industry by surprise. Years of global integration resulted in an open market for semiconductor talent. Many scientists and engineers with U.S. citizenship or permanent residency work in the Chinese industry. Now they face what one semiconductor investor called an "inhuman" choice—either giving up their U.S. citizenship or quitting their jobs.
Since last week news has been circulating that many Americans working for Chinese chipmakers are leaving the country. Cutting off access to such talent will surely hurt the foundations of the industry, insiders said.
Many Chinese Americans with U.S. citizenship hold key technical positions at Chinese chip companies, an executive at a chip design enterprise told Caixin. Some key technical experts at ChangXin, Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc., and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) may have to leave, the executive said.
The Chinese government should provide more policy support to overseas returnees in the chip industry, the chip design executive said. "They have a strong will to stay in China to start their own businesses, so China should try to keep them," the executive said.
American tech watchdog
Under the new rules, any chip that exceeds benchmarks set by the BIS, the American government's tech watchdog, will be subject to export controls, regardless of use or industry, several lawyers familiar with U.S. export controls told Caixin. The new rules cover all kinds of computing chips, including graphics processing units, memory chips, and other traditional or new computing architecture chips. In terms of end use, the new restrictions mainly affect data center chips. The computing power of chips for mobile phones and self-driving vehicles has not exceed the BIS benchmarks.
The ban will limit China's development and maintenance of supercomputers. Future supercomputers in China may not be able to obtain chips made using American technology from anywhere in the world, a source at the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Association told Caixin.
The BIS also expanded a national security-related control known as the Foreign Direct Product Rule to cover 28 Chinese enterprises. Previously it applied the rule in sanctions against Huawei Technologies Co. to target a broader range of exports, including non-U.S.-origin items that are the direct products of specified U.S.-origin software and technology. The move practically banned Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. from producing chips designed by Huawei's HiSilicon unit, crippling Huawei's 5G smartphone business.
The U.S. also added more Chinese businesses to a list of companies that it regards as "unverified," meaning American suppliers will face new hurdles in selling products to those entities. The list names companies that the BIS could not verify because an end-user check could not be completed to a satisfactory level. If a persistent lack of cooperation from local governments effectively prevents the BIS from identifying compliance, companies on the unverified list may be moved to the entity list and subjected to more stringent export limits.
This poses a dilemma for Chinese companies, said semiconductor industry market research institute ICwise director Wang Xiaolong. If they refuse to be investigated, businesses might be added to the entity list, but if they accept investigation, they could risk exposure of key information.
U.S. businesses affected
Even Chinese companies not subject to U.S. export controls need to consider more domestic or non-American equipment supplies to reduce future sanction risks, a state-owned fund investor told Caixin.
China has long been Nvidia's second-largest market. China accounted for 26.42% of the graphic chipmaker's 2022 sales. Restricted exports to China of two of Nvidia's top computing chips for artificial intelligence could affect $400 million of potential sales in the current quarter, the company said.
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), which represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry, said it is assessing the impact of the new export controls and is working with member companies and the U.S. government to ensure compliance. The group urged the U.S. government to implement the rules in a "targeted way" to help mitigate harm to American innovation.
Research conducted by SIA and Boston Consulting Group in 2020 estimated that U.S. companies could lose 37% of their revenue if the U.S. completely banned semiconductor companies from selling to Chinese customers, effectively causing a technology decoupling from China.
Targeting advanced chips
The BIS specified items subject to export controls including logic chips with architectures of 16 to 14 nanometers (nm) or less, DRAM memory chips of 18 nm or less, and NAND flash memory chips with 128 layers or more. In integrated circuit manufacturing, smaller nanometer ratings mean more-advanced technology.
All of the thresholds represent the most advanced technology in mass production by Chinese chipmakers. SMIC, ChangXin, and Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. Ltd., China's three largest chipmakers, will be hit the hardest as they may get stuck at their current technology level and struggle to move toward more advanced chips, a state-owned semiconductor investor said.
In the logic chip segment, SMIC, the largest contract chip maker in the Chinese mainland, is mass-producing 14 nm chips and is developing 10 nm and 7 nm technologies. In the NAND chip segment, Yangtze Memory started mass production of NAND flash memory chips with 128 layers in 2021. It released a product with 128 layers but has not yet started mass production. In the DRAM segment, ChangXin is specialized in the production of DRAM memory. As of 2020, ChangXin can manufacture using a 19 nm process and is developing 17 nm technologies.
Starting Oct. 10, LAM suspended supplies of components and equipment to its Chinese clients, a state-owned semiconductor investor said. LAM's engineers at the clients all left the country, an investor close to the matter confirmed with Caixin.
The withdrawal of U.S. equipment suppliers and their personnel means Chinese fabrication plants may not be able to get support from equipment manufacturers if something goes wrong or the machinery needs maintenance. Although Chinese companies can also provide basic maintenance services, some equipment needs to be replaced in a couple of years. If the quality and cost of replacement cannot be guaranteed, it will inevitably affect existing production lines, a memory chip industry participant said.
Without new supplies of equipment, Chinese chipmakers are also unable to expand their production lines and are stuck with existing capacity.
ChangXin's 12-inch wafer production line in Hefei began production in September 2019 with a design capacity of 120,000 wafers a month. According to an original plan, ChangXin was to build two more 12-inch wafer production lines. The phase 2 project is still under construction. Yangtze Memory planned to massively expand its 128-layer NAND production line and start trial production of a 232-layer product. Now that plan will be difficult to carry out, several industry participants told Caixin.
"The reality is that domestic equipment is not enough to support a similar production line now," a person close to local government policymakers in the semiconductor industry told Caixin. Since the U.S. imposed sanctions on Huawei, Yangtze Memory, and SMIC have been actively promoting the certification of domestic equipment, with ChangXin relatively slower, the person said. "Now, all three companies face the same problem: Some equipment is exclusively supplied by the U.S. firms, without which their production lines cannot operate," the person said.
Making do with old technology
Experts widely say they expect that an expanded U.S. blockade on high-end chip exports to China will only accelerate China's breakthroughs in core technology.
For now, as the U.S. restrictions don't affect less-advanced devices. Chinese companies are expected to allocate more resources to the mature products. Since U.S. restrictions in 2020 barred SMIC from using U.S. technology and equipment to produce 10 nm or smaller chips, the company increased its 28 nm capacity. ChangXin and Yangtze Memory may also switch their growth path to increase capacity using the mature processes, industry participants said.
Globally, demand for chips with mature process nodes is still large, but China accounts for less than 20% of the market. Chinese companies can optimize and expand the mature processes, gradually lower costs, and come up with more cost-effective products to compete with Western rivals, the state-owned semiconductor investor said.
However, the level of domestic equipment is uneven, and some key components still rely on imports. A source at a foundry told Caixin that most equipment used to make 28 nm and smaller nodes are still dominated by U.S. and Japanese companies.
Several people in the semiconductor industry suggested that the government should increase support for domestic substitution, including backing the construction of fabs, encouraging fabs to use domestic equipment, and opening more markets to use domestic chips.

The feed assembly moves up and down with a floating motor that climbs up and down on a rack. Another motor drives the take-away roll and clutch drive for the vacuum belt assembly. A third motor drives an eccentric arm and racWgear assembly that moves the trays horizontally. The eccentric arm drive provides for controlled acceleration and deceleration of the trays as they are extended or retracted. The vertically moving assembly is mounted on and guided by a twin track extrusion and four roller assemblies.


The historical biopic film Heneral Luna is a masterpiece that resembles the current state of Philippine national security.
Terrorization on the inadequacy of National Security Strategy has paralyzed Asia's First Republic, defacing the 'should-be' strengths of strong institutions, organization, leadership, doctrines, strategic culture and military capability against an emerging superpower, the Unites States, during the twentieth century. For sure, the ghost of the past still lingers in our present weak defense posture against a rising 'other' superpower, China, in the twenty-first century.
Everyone from the defense and security sector must watch this intelligent narrative, coated with cinematic license by a versatile filmmaker Jerrold Tarog, to witness Antonio Luna's suggested military strategy on guerilla warfare that influenced rogue states like Cuba and Vietnam in their struggle for independence against bullies and colonizers.
Poor strategic culture emanates from weak leadership and organization corrupted by greed, self-interest, lack of vision, and citizens' bogus nationalism and fake patriotism of many political elites.
In the same manner, the sins of our forefather, the scheming opportunist, General Emilio Aguinaldo, whose formidable statue stands still in a sprawling military camp in Quezon City, the largest city within Metro Manila named after his political successor as president, alleged by historians as the person liable for the murder and political butchery of Andres Bonifacio and Antonio Luna, should be demystified.
Aguinaldo's follies and tendencies to heinous crimes, nascent dictatorial streak, and engagement in political mudslinging are demerits in demoting him in history. He should be stripped of his title as the first president of the Republic; but instead, the great plebian, Supremo Andres Bonifacio should be elevated to where he is rightfully placed in our historical consciousness.
At the same time, Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo should be renamed as Camp General Antonio Luna in reverence to a mad genius and grand strategist that have drawn the attention of American military thinkers based from their first-hand accounts tagging him our greatest general during the Philippines-American War which took more lives of American soldiers than during the American-Spanish War.
The centuries-old regionalistic character of Filipinos, keenly shown in the film, still presently manifested on how we nurture our political culture during elections and appointments of national leaders in every administration, shows our immaturity and shallow governance that impedes our growth to achieve our elusive 'national identity'. Pluralism is healthy in any society, regardless of ethnicity, political principles, and economic class. However, patriotism and cohesiveness as a nation-state should never be compromised based from one's own status, rank or position.
The national security threats on poor governance, poverty, graft and corruption, greed and grievance, and oligarchy are peripheral issues profound in the Heneral Luna film. It exposes our genetic and protracted weaknesses as Filipinos that are 'uncured' and 'unhealed' despite creative prescriptions to 'cure and heal' our society's conscience using Jose Rizal's revolutionary novels or today's numerous well-crafted laws.
Our best talents as great people in this part of the world, oftentimes, cause us to stumble over and over again because the enemy is within our own self, reiterated by Renaissance man General Antonio Luna whose commanding presence, credible defense leadership by walking the talk, and cognition of poetry, weaved his colorful life and career as uniformed officer of his time.
Furthermore, nurtured unrighteous Filipino values and ethics vivid in the film are continuously practiced intergenarationally by many of us have become a vicious cycle in our political and societal systems.
The ghost of weak implementation and enforcement of laws embedded in Filipino culture are footprints of our ancestors even before the time of General Luna that strums his bewilderment and insanity that still haunt us.
In his sane and rightful perspective, no one should be above the law even if one holds the highest position in the land. A simple anecdote of 'with great power comes great responsibility'. In realistic parlance, leadership by example means that no one is indispensable above the law, and that culture of impunity should be halted.
In my paper on the Anthropology of National Security, I deem that to achieve a robust national security, Filipinos must acquire a culture of respected national character and national morale that are fundamental to metaphysically build an infrastructure to nationhood propounded by our great ancestors. This vision which was adequately foreseen by revolutionary generals in our history is slowly laying a golden map to fortify our socio-cultural imaginings away from persistent colonial mentality. This vision of greatness must be executed in a grand manner based on the vintage designs of our great ancestors to generally inculcate sense of pride of Filipinos today and tomorrow.

Программа для подсчета символов больше заданного в строке, собственно программа закрывается без каких-либо ошибок сразу после ввода символа и нажатия Enter. Собственно, вопрос: что не так?

A:
в программе не поддерживается кириллица

Это сложный вопрос. Он распадается на три:

*

*Используемая кодировка

*Поддержка кириллицы в рамках ОС

*Поддержка кириллицы в Вашей программе.

Если Вы работаете под Windows, то (скорее всего) кодировка по умолчанию cp1251.  Тогда надо в начале программы прописать
Setlocale(LC_ALL, "ru-RU");

(Русский язык в консоли)

Battle-deGraffenried House, 1217 Greensboro Avenue
In 1962, this landmark antebellum home on Greensboro Avenue was razed. The house, known as the deGraffenried House (or the Hester- deGraffenried House), was constructed in 1845 as a wedding gift.
Located at 1217 Greensboro Avenue on the northwest corner at 14th Street, the two-story home was owned by James Whigham. The house was being razed to make room for a 40-unit Travelodge Motel to be built.
The masonry and hand-made brick house was built by Albert Battle, a pioneer Tuscaloosa merchant and planter, as a wedding gift for his son, Dr. William Battle. The Battles left Tuscaloosa just before the Civil War and sold the house to Dr. William Hester for $5,000. After Dr. Hester's death, the property went to Judge Henry Bacon Foster, who married a daughter of Dr. Hester. The house stayed in the Foster family until Judge Edward deGraffenried purchased it about 1912.
About 1945, the house was purchased by Ernest Friday who sold it to Whigham in 1947. Whigham remodeled and repaired the house. In 1962, Whigham sold the house to the Travelodge Corporation of El Cajon, California.
Whigham described the house as having four 20-foot-by-20-foot rooms with 14-foot ceilings on the first floor. A 12-foot wide hallway extended through the house one way and a 10-foot wide hallway ran across the house. The second floor had four rooms, a hallway and two baths. There was a 14-by-14-foot room on the outside which held a circular staircase that led to a cupola on the roof. Ornamental iron grillwork surrounded the first floor porch. Floors were of heart long leaf yellow pine planks which were dressed by hand. The tongue and grooves in the flooring were also made by hand tools.
When the house was constructed in 1845, it was in the extreme southern part of the city.

The Warrington is the perfect fusion between contemporary design, style and functionality. As a four bedroom family home, it off ers the complete package with plenty of entertaining space with home theatre and open plan living that optimises natural light at every opportunity.
Positioned near the entry is the master bedroom that promises a tranquil retreat separated from the remainder of the home. It boasts an impressive walk-in robe and inviting ensuite with double vanity, large shower and separate toilet. The kitchen and expansive living areas radiate a sense of warmth and openness that inspires and delights.


From Middle French beste, from Old French beste, probably partially borrowed from Classical Latin bēstia ("beast"), or less likely from an alternative Vulgar Latin bēsta ("animal"). Compare biche (probably from Old French bisse, itself from Vulgar Latin bīstia; compare Italian biscia).
(offensive) Not very bright and lacking in judgement; stupid; inept.
Which could have been easily averted; silly.
(Canada, informal) Having a bad character or in a bad mood; showing great displeasure in interacting with people; ill-tempered.
Je dis ça, mais depuis quelques semaines elle est moins bête. Même avec moi — I say that, but these last few weeks she hasn't been as nasty [lit: "less of a beast"]. Even with me.

"The Wolf" Vows To Fix "Broken System"
After His Case Was Dismissed, Liam "The Wolf" Murphy Plans To Challenge A "Broken System".
Sean Bruce
After all charges laid against him were dismissed, Liam Murphy, known as "the Wolf" in the online Fetlife BDSM and kink community, wants to fight to fix what he claims is a broken system.
Although ultimately never going to trial for the sexual and physical assault charges laid against him, Murphy says his life has been completely destroyed in the process.
"Everything from my physical health to my mental health, all of my personal relationships and most of all my family, which is no-one else's fault but my own."
Murphy was one of the most popular men on the fetish community website Fetlife prior to being charged with four counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. After pleading not guilty, all charges were dismissed on 20 June in the Downing Centre Local Court by Magistrate Christopher Halburd. He was represented by famous Sydney Barrister, Charles Waterstreet.
But now he's campaigning to change the system to prevent others from being falsely accused of rape.
"There does have to be checks and balances in place that mean our common decency as a group can't be hijacked by unscrupulous people for their own nefarious purposes and used as an axe to bludgeon innocent people to death."
When asked to name specific issues with the current system, he cited irresponsible media for "being able to write things that are not proven" and police and prosecutors who "need to take more responsibility to shut down accusations or illegal proceedings that are clearly false"
The 42-year-old former advertising executive also pointed the finger at the current MeToo movement.
"I want to see the MeToo movement succeed, and I don't think it can succeed unless there's some sort of sanity brought into the process," he said. "So we can feel confident that when people are accused of sexual improprieties, that they actually did them".
"I think there's a giant silent majority who believe we're doing it in an irresponsible manner, and I think I'm proof of that"
Murphy claims he was the victim of a plot designed to destroy his life, conducted by numerous "bad actors" whom he would not name.
While there still remains a suppression order on the specific facts of the case until 12 August, he stated that there is "a mountain of written records" to prove the allegations made against him were false and that illustrated why they were made in the first place.
"It was all a simple plot as old as the ages, of jealousy and rejection revenge."
Murphy wants to see the system change to become easier for people who have been improperly accused of sexual assault to seek avenues for redress.
"What can and should be done: there need to be charges against people who make false allegations.
"In my case, there are a number of witnesses and complainants that can and should have charges brought against them."
Would making it easier to lay charges against people who make false rape claims deter future victims coming forward? Murphy doesn't think so.
"It will discourage people to lie to the police," he said. "Which is a good thing."
"That will lead to fewer headlines like mine about charges being dismissed, which affects people's faith in the legal system. The conviction rate will rise and further encourage real victims to speak up."
After receiving advice from police consultants on the likelihood of successfully bringing charges against the complainants in his case he was told there was little chance of them ever being brought to court.
He says he is still considering legal action "specifically against the witnesses and perhaps against the complainants".
"I certainly will be taking action against the NSW police"

How many different sets of four dots
can be joined to form a square?
A printable sheet for student use is available here
Starter of The Day Transum Mathematics Topics
Topics: Starter | Combinations | Puzzles | Shape
Greg, New York
On the website, it says that there are only 4 green ones and that the total is 11. they are wrong. There are actually 8 green ones and the total is 15 because there are 4 big green squares on the outside and 4 small green squares in the center.
Rob, Estonia
Read the question again - the 4 green squares you point to are not drawn by connecting the dots and thus do not count towards the answer. 11 is correct.
Year 10 Set 2, Welshpool High School Powys
Only George and Daniel got the right answer. Most thought it was 9.
Mr Seale's Class 2011, Holywell High School
We think we can find 13, with the 4 extra squares in the middle! :).
Eddy, Wellington, New Zealand
Cool, I liked this one. I got 9.
Laura Nortman, United Statesq
Please be certain that your answers are clear and correct. On Answer 11, on the issue of how many squares there are in the image. You stated that there were only 4 green squares (I am assuming those would be the four in the middle). However, those 4 squares can be combined to make one more larger square. You can then take the green rectangle on the top of of the image and combine it with the two small green squares below it, that makes another larger green square. You can follow this same process with the bottom green rectangle and the two side green rectangles. Combine each of the green rectangles with the two adjacent small green rectangles and you will see the square. This means that there are 4 small green squares and 5 additional large green squares...for a total of 16 squares. This of course takes critical thinking, which is something we apparently don't care to pass onto our children anymore. You should not claim to be an educational resource and provide such bad example for our youth. THINK people. If you wanted to clarify, you could also have asked how many squares there were that did not overlap parts of other squares, but I think forcing them to stand back and look at the picture to see the larger squares is a better teaching tool...of course you have to provide the right answer...which you did not.
John, UK
This is bizarre and all the proposed solutions are wrong. The question asks for you to join 4 dots. The maximum number of squares that are possible with 4 dots is 1. If you join multiple sets of 4 dots which is not specified but what seems to be taken as the instruction for some reason, then taking the colours used lower on the page I can clearly see 9 green squares not 5.
Hendrik, Edinburgh
Very good. I was able to get nine and then the additional red and blue square when I read the answer was eleven, without looking at the diagram.
I don't wish to be too critical of those commenters who disagree with this total, as I am about to do the same, but it seems to me that their solutions all involve connecting more than four dots.
I can see at least an additional nine possible squares, connecting only four dots. Your solution is correct only for the squares with the dots at the corners, a condition which was not specified in the question.
If you take each of the black squares and treat it as an inscribed square of a square twice the area, at 45 degrees with respect to it, a common centre and with each dot in the _middle_ of a side, not at the corner, that gives you an additional five squares, each only joining four dots. Further, if you take a line through any four dots in a row, you can make that a single side of a large square which extends away from the centre of the diagram. This square also passes through exactly four dots, two at a corner, two in one of the lines but not at a corner and contains one line outside the boundaries of the diagram which contains no dots at all. There are four rows which contain four dots in a line so this gives another additional four squares, making a total of twenty in all.
Woops! Actually, there's an infinite number! If you take any two adjacent dots on the outside of the diagram and draw a line through them and then extend that line to meet another line produced in the same way but with two of the other outside dots and at right angles to the first line, that gives you the corner of a square. You can then extend both those perpendicular lines any equal distance you like in the opposite direction, giving you an infinite range of differently sized squares, each passing through exactly four dots. The only caveat is that, while the boundaries of the squares can be inside or outside of those of the diagram, they cannot be of a size to pass through any dots, other than the ones used in their construction.
What it boils down to is a badly worded question. If the question were specified correctly there could be no discussion about the correct answer. My son is currently doing A level physics and because of the inability of the question writers to see the correct answers that other people may see the school has changed the exam board. While this has improved the situation there are still lots of ambiguities in the questions.
8Y2, BBS
8Y2 found 9. We thought there might be 11.
David McColgan, Decroly Americano, Guatemala
The question is worded perfectly if you take the instructions down the side as part of the question. The only way to form squares using those instructions is by connecting 4 dots which become the 4 vertices of the square. Thanks to whoever made it up. The other squares people have referenced cannot be made on this website by joining exactly 4 dots.
Another way to think about it. Each dot on the outside is a vertex of three different squares (8*3=24). Each dot in the middle is a vertext of 5 different squares (4*5=20). (24+20)/4=11. We concluded this by drawing every possible line on the diagram. There are obvioulsy other squares visible, but not ones which abide by the full instructions.

The commander of the Metropolitan Police of the Valle de Aburra, Colonel Luis Eduardo Martinez Guzman, will presents his recommendations to make the city more secure to Medellin's mayor this week.
"If you have to send the whole world to sleep at six in the afternoon, you have to do it. And if you have to close all businesses at six, you have to close them," Martinez told Caracol Radio, stressing the need to attend to the security situation in the city where more than 1100 people have been killed this year.
According to the Colonel, the areas most affected by crime in Medellin are Castilla and Aranjuez, in the northeast and northwest of the city, and the neighboring municipalities Bello and Itagui.
The murder rate in Medellin has soared since the beginning of 2009. Police presence in the city has been increased several times already this year, so far without significant effect.

Run the Jewels Unearth Every Cat Meme on the Internet for 'All Meow Life' Video
Beth Kellmurray
The search is over. After all those countless hours spent wasting away, scouring all corners of the internet for the funniest cat videos, memes and GIFs, Run the Jewels have stepped in and taken care of the heavy lifting.
After dropping Meow the Jewels, the cat-remixed version of their sophomore album, Run the Jewels 2, Killer Mike and El-P have returned with a new video for "All Meow Life." The song is Nick Hook's rework of RTJ2's "All My Life." Director Jason Goldwatch apparently had the intensive task of sorting through the internet's cat archives and creating a feline collage perfectly in pace with the updated track. Check it out above (via Mass Appeal); even Run the Jewels' dark, menacing cut can make a cat with its head caught in a piece of bread somehow seem foreboding.
Meow the Jewels landed in all of its glory last month. Run the Jewels 2 arrived last year, a follow-up to the duo's 2013 self-titled debut. In addition to the Meow the Jewels remixes, RtJ recently unveiled "Rubble Kings Theme (Dynamite)," a new song that appears on the soundtrack for Shan Nicholson's Rubble Kings documentary.
Killer Mike and El-P are due for a break following extensive touring behind their sophomore disc. They have one final date on the books, and that's an appearance at the Corona Capital Music Festival in Mexico City on Nov. 21. Get ticket information right here.

It is true that some authors earn their living writing books. How much do most authors earn? Most of the authors are heavily dependent on other sources of income. Author: What else do you love or hate about work? Depends on what you write.
So what can a new author hope for from the publication of his novel? It' a genuine, palpable thrill to be a released author: Name on a cover. Knowing that you will stay with him - enough to have completed and released a work. However, those who publish a novel for the first and those who seek it may have unrealistic hopes of the author or publisher's work.
It' truely so, some of them earn their livelihood typing them. How much do most composers earn? Most of the author is highly dependent on other revenue streams. Even many bestselling author could not give up their work. The reason most of them are composers because they have an obsession with their topic or an obsession to tell their stories - despite the fact that they have a daily work, at least in the beginning and sometimes much longer.
ohn Grisham was a lawyer (did you guess?) who wrote his first juridical mystery story, A TimetoKill, in the early mornings before he had to appear in trial. It' probably not going to pass unless you release your own work and have enough money to get the accurate books pack and coat design you want (and even then, some of our publishers have limitations on the content).
As soon as you have signed a deal with a conventional publishing house, you are basically in the middle of a relationship to design "the book", and you both have a say in the end game. Your editors will have a lot to say about how your text will look in printing, from reducing the amount of grease in your speech (similar to "killing your babies") to changing the logic of the chapter.
As your writer is there to make the script (and you!) ring better - and a well thought-out, experienced writer will in any case - you may not always be in agreement about what is best for the work. "For more information about the editing workflow, please see what happens to your script after you present it to an editors and the editors of a publishing house.
When you find a publishers for your textbook, there is a good chance he or she will like you for your advertising and advertising platforms as well as for your bright and prosa. Generally speaking, editors, producers and marketers are hard-working and enthusiastic about literature - but the realities of the editing processes place high requirements on them.
And, the realities of the market dictate that to be effective, most authors have to work harder to promote their own work and do as much, if no more, than the internal sales and advertising personnel (which, by the way, will each work on a ten volumes while working on yours).
In order to stay ahead of the books promotional curves, get familiar with this review of books advertising and branding, how to design your books advertising and branding campaigns, understanding author contentmarketing and doing these six crucial stages of promoting books before your books are out. As a rule, the cover that will appear on your work is the work of a bookshop, which will be kept up to date with the views of everyone involved, from the publishers, the publishers, the marketing and PR divisions to the commercial agents and sometimes even the buyers of Barnes & Noble.
Just about everyone has their opinion about your coat - except you, the newcomer, at least in most cases (check your contract). Whilst your journalist really wants you to be satisfied with your cover, he or she wants you to be satisfied with the one they choose for you.
However, itinerant writers all over the land are very costly. Throughout so much occasion for high-impact web promotion as online booking trips, there are fewer and fewer of the non-virtual, multi-city, multi-faceted booking trips on offer from editors, so don't count on getting on this area. Books are costly, and as they seldom sell, it is almost always up to the author or the author's generouse friend to pay the bill, even for quite prominent people.
You can still have your books bash. Being an author, of course, has the right to brag. However, you will have a luckier time if you don't expect to show off your daily work or your ten-city-booktour.

Q: invalid conversion from void* to void(*)(void*)[-fpermissive] this question was asked in relation to threads, but I have a simpler case.(beginner)
I tried the code in different compilers for c++ but would not work.
please advise how to replace the line:   callback = (void*)myfunc; //--> error
typedef struct _MyMsg {
        int appId;
        char msgbody[32];
} MyMsg;
void myfunc(MyMsg *msg)
{
        if (strlen(msg->msgbody) > 0 )
                printf("App Id = %d \n Msg = %s \n",msg->appId, msg->msgbody);
        else
                printf("App Id = %d \n Msg = No Msg\n",msg->appId);
}
/*
 * Prototype declaration
 */
void (*callback)(void *);
int main(void)
{
        MyMsg msg1;
        msg1.appId = 100;
        strcpy(msg1.msgbody, "This is a test\n");
        /*
         * Assign the address of the function 'myfunc' to the function
         * pointer 'callback'
         */
//line throws error: invalid conversion from void* to void(*)(void*)[-fpermissive]
        callback = (void*)myfunc; //--> error
        /*
         * Call the function
         */
        callback((MyMsg*)&msg1);
        return 0;
}

A: Yes, your  typecasting is wrong:
 callback = (void*)myfunc;
              ^
               is void*  but Not void (*)(void*)

You can do like:

*

*Define a new type:
typedef  void (*functiontype)  ( void*);

*Typecast as follows:
callback = (functiontype)myfunc;

A: The problem is that callback is not a void pointer, its a pointer to a function.  So to shut up the warning, you need to cast to the correct type:
callback = (void (*)(void *))myfunc;

Note that this will get rid of the warning, but is not guaranteed to work -- while you can cast a function pointer type to a different function pointer type, calling the resulting function pointer (without first casting it back) is Undefined Behavior.
Now on most machines, all pointers have the same internal bit representation.  In particular, MyMsg * and void * will be the same, so this will in fact work fine.  But its not guaranteed.  To be strictly standards conforming, you should change myfunc to be:
void myfunc(void *msg_)
{
    MyMsg *msg = (MyMsg *)msg_;
    :

Now it has the same signature as callback, so you can assign it without casting. The cast inside myfunc is probably a noop, but needs to be there for strict conformance.

Dolly Parton Statue at Sevier County TN Court House
The Dolly Parton statue at Sevier County TN Court House was a tribute to the artist that grew up in Sevier County proudly showing recognition of her success and appreciation of her using her fame to give back to her hometown. Dolly's desire to share and develop her musical talent started as she grew up in Sevier County at a very young age with live weekly shows in her local town and live radio appearances in nearby Knoxville appearing on WIVK starting at the age of 6 years old. Her school mates may remember her showing her school spirit playing the drums in in band for Sevier County High school where she graduated in 1964 before she moved to Nashville TN for opportunities to develop a career in music. It didn't take Dolly Parton long to develop her career and find her fame that has not died down since. In 1986 Dolly partnered with the Herschend family to create Dollywood Theme Park in Sevierville. Because her desire to do something for the people of her hometown the theme park was a way of creating many new jobs, enhancing tourism, and offering both entertainment in her hometown and opportunity for entertainers to have a stage to develop their own talents as she had in Sevierville, Tn.
Dolly proudly watched as her statue was unveiled by the artist Jim Gray. Presented on May 2, 1987 the life size bronze Dolly Parton statue representing Dolly as a young girl sitting on a large rock barefoot and relaxed on the front lawn playing her guitar and smiling to all passing by. She shows a pride for her hometown area when she speaks of it just as much as her statue shows their pride in her. And Dolly's display of love for her hometown has only grown stronger since the time that she was recognized with her statue. Two years following the opening of Dollywood Theme Park she opened Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction in 1988; starting a successful trend of dinner shows to become popular in the Smoky Mountains area. In 1996 Dolly wanted to share her love of education and imagination starting Imagination Library giving every child in Sevier County a new book, age appropriate as they grow, to keep every month. Dolly is also a supporter of healthcare in Sevier County helping to create and promote advance facilities and care for the area.
If you are one of the many fans of Dolly Parton or any of her top 25 #1 country songs you will enjoy a visit to her hometown where her inspiration began. Dolly's Statue in front of the Sevier County Court House is just one stop of 28 for a walking tour of Dolly's hometown that you can enjoy.

Could Trump's agenda of vilifying, excluding and expelling non-European immigrants lead to the overthrow of America's democracy? By Roger Algase
ImmigrationLawBlogs started a blog post Could Trump's agenda of vilifying, excluding and expelling non-European immigrants lead to the overthrow of America's democracy? By Roger Algase
Are Donald Trump's endless attacks on non-white immigrants as "criminals", "rapists", "MS-13", "terrorists" and "animals" who are "infesting" America, not only through irregular entry or overstaying visas, but through legal channels such as what Trump has called "horrible chain migration",, lawful asylum applications, or H-1B visas, only rhetoric, or are they policy declarations which could ultimately lead to the overthrow of our democracy?
Professor Henry Giroux of McMastar University in Ontario, an expert on fascism who has written numerous books dealing with authoritarianism and other cultural issues, argues that Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric is not just talk, but is a serious threat to America's democracy.
While many commentators on Trump's immigration agenda prefer to use euphemisms about the threat to democracy such as "abuse of power" "exceeding limits" or "Constitutional crisis" Professor Giroux doesn't mince words in the title of his latest (November 25) article on the site the conversation.com dealing with the use of fear and hatred of "the other" as a tactic to overthrow democracy. See:
Trump's fascist efforts to demolish democracy
http://theconversation.com/trumps-fa...mocracy-106247
Giroux states at the beginning of his article::
"Driven by a hatred of 'the other' and infused with narratives of decline and victimization, fascist politics trade in and incendiary rhetoric of fear demonization and violence.
It creates divisions by targeting groups it defines as criminal, less than human, and then expands its hate-mongering to other groups as part of an attempt to deepen and expand a culture of terror, insecurity and disposability."
ilw.com readers will not have much difficulty seeing a resemblance to Trump's beginning with an attack on Mexican and other Latino immigrants as "criminals" and "rapists", then moving on to a ban on as many as 200,000 potential immigrants, students or visitors from targeted Muslim countries as "terrorists"; and then expanding to an attempt to destroy much of our legal immigration system.
By calling for the abolition of "chain migration", creating procedural obstacles to obtaining H-1B and other skilled and professional visas and green cards; and most recently, attempting to exclude potentially millions of legal immigrants, mainly from outside Europe, on wildly distorted and inflated "Public Charge" grounds, Trump has made it unmistakably clear that his attacks on immigrants are not primarily aimed at enforcing the laws against irregular immigration, but at drastically reducing America's non-white immigrant population in general.
Professor Giroux continues:
"One recent example can be found in U.S. president Donald Trump's ongoing escalation of attacks on migrants. He has referred to the caravan of refugees from Central America as an invading criminal force against which he is mobilizing as many as 15,000 troops, more than currently serve in Afghanistan...
Prior to the midterm elections, he called immigrants 'predatory' and 'the worst scum in the world'.
Giroux adds:
"Trump's language does more than promote a decline in civility, it also advocates state terrorism while functioning as a savage nod to his most extremist base of support.
For instance, he has threatened to order U.S. soldiers to shoot migrants and refugees from Central America if they throw rocks at them. In addition, he has pledged to use an executive order to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and annul birthright citizenship."
Giroux concludes:
"Trump has unleashed what Frankfort School theorist Theodore Adorno once called an 'authoritarian irrationality,' the dark and menacing underside of a racist and totalitarian psychology and politics.
Trump may not be Adolf Hitler, but there are disturbing similarities in his language and reactionary policies...
Campaigning for the midterm elections, Trump reached for the fascist playbook and calculatedly promoted racism, hatred and ignorance in a cynical move that should send alarms ringing across the globe."
It is not only the future of America as a country that welcomes immigrants from all over the world, regardless of race. color, religion or national origin that is threatened by Trump's anti-immigrant agenda. America's democracy itself is at risk of being overturned.

See: "It's not about immigration, but about the color of immigrants" by Felicia Persaud, Amsterdam News, August 16.
http://amsterdamnews.com/news/2018/aug/16/its-not-about-immigration-about-color-immigrants/
Persaud writes:
"The only reason [Trump, Stephen Miller and their supporters] are attacking immigration is because of the color of the new wave of immigrants. It is why they want to end legal immigration through family reunification. It is why they want to build a wall at the southern border. It is why they feel no remorse about putting Brown children in cages...It is why they are limiting H-1B and skilled immigrant visas."
Roger Algase
Trump continued to demonize and vilify non-white immigrants as "criminals" and "drug dealers" in a battle over Wall funding in a meeting with Democratic leaders Chick Schumer and Nancy Pelosi on December 11 See, The Guardian:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/11/trump-oval-office-meeting-pelosi-schumer-shut-down-government
The president seems to be by nature incapable of referring to non-white immigrants without using the language of hate, any more than Adolf Hitler did when talking about he Jews.
While no one could rationally say that Trump is another Hitler, the parallels are growing stronger and more dangerous for the future, not only of immigration, but of America's democracy.


Description: Nice rear shot of the 14 wheeled tender built for the fast and powerful Alco-Schenectady 4-8-4 Niagras (NYC's nickname for the Northerns) built beginning in 1945. The tender had a small water capacity (18,000 US gallons; 68,000 litres) in the tender, because the New York Central was one of the few in North America which used track pans. This allowed a larger coal capacity—46 tons—so the New York to Chicago run could be done with one stop for coal. The fourteen wheeled tenders were impressive and sleek accompaniment to the stylish loco. Unknown photogrrapher from the Rail Photo Service.

Mobile App Development Gets Enterprise Friendly Boost
The enterprise mobile app market is booming. JAMF, IBM, MobileIron, and VMware -- along with more than 60 partners -- aim to help mobile developers make their apps more enterprise friendly and maintainable. Here's what their community approach can mean for your business.
11 Tech Trailblazers To Honor For Black History Month
(Click image for larger view and slideshow.)
The market for enterprise apps is booming. Research and Markets, a consultancy firm, last year predicted that the global enterprise mobile app development services market will see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% over the period 2014-2019. Gartner said that by the end of 2017, market demand for mobile app development services will grow at least five times faster than internal IT organizations can deliver them.
Yet, more than half of mobile app developers bring in less than $500 per month, revenue that puts them below the "app poverty line," according to the Q3 2015 Developer Economics report from research firm Visionmobile. Typically, these developers are chasing the consumer app gold rush that ended years ago. Rather than eking out a revenue stream through in-app purchases and ad revenue from customers trained not to pay for anything, they might do better to consider enterprise app development.
"On the enterprise side, people are willing to pay for applications that deliver value," said Ojas Rege, VP of strategy of MobileIron, a mobile device management firm.
Yet, enterprise app development suffers from complexity, specifically the challenge of integrating enterprise mobile management (EMM) frameworks. "Developers and ISVs face having to integrate multiple SDKs and maintain those applications through upgrades," said Mimi Spier, senior director of marketing and strategy at VMware.
[ Never underestimate the human capacity for foolishness. Read 10 Stupid Moves That Threaten Your Company's Security. ]
To make life easier for developers and IT administrators, JAMF, IBM, MobileIron, and VMware, each of which offers enterprise mobile management services, on Tuesday plan to propose a standard way to integrate enterprise device management services into mobile apps.
"The mission of the community is to provide a common approach to enterprise app configuration and security," said Anar Taori, senior director of product management for IBM MaaS360.
(Image: AppConfig.org)
The four companies, backed by more than 60 partners, are launching AppConfig (appconfig.org), an online community that aims to serve as a resource for enterprise app developers, ISVs, and EMM vendors. Beyond discussion forums and resources detailing best practices, the group is offering developer tools, specifically an XML Schema, that provides a consistent way to configure enterprise apps with the data they need to function.
This is not a cross-platform development proposal. Rather it provides a small patch of common ground for developers creating apps for native platforms (iOS, Android, Windows). If an application vendor builds an app to this native app specification, the app can be used across any EMM vendor.
"With the AppConfig community tools, developers will not require EMM-specific integrations," said Taori.
(Image: Yuri_Arcurs/iStockphoto)
"The intent is to make it really easy and consistent for developers to use the application configuration frameworks," said Rege. "This allows us to provide a better user experience for admins as well."
Initially, appconfig.org will focus on iOS apps. In 2013, as part of iOS 7, Apple introduced the Managed App Configuration framework, which provides a way to integrate with mobile device management software. The four companies backing appconfig.org see it as a vendor-neutral way to allow developers to build EMM support into their apps. Those using the apps and those administering them should benefit from a more consistent experience.
"iOS is really the hub of application development right now in the enterprise," said Rege. But, in time, the initiative will grow to support Android and Windows enterprise features.
The AppConfig community is open to "all ISVs and EMMs committed to native approaches," as the group's slide deck puts it.

The Woolman-Groet-Miller Endowment Fund
The South Bend-Elkhart Audubon Society has a grant available for eligible participants. The following are frequently-asked questions regarding the fund.
What is the Woolman-Groet-Miller (WGM) Endowment Fund?
In 1979, the then South Bend Audubon Society established an endowment fund for the purpose of supporting and promoting environmental education and conservation projects. The fund was built with gifts and bequests from John and Myrtle Groet, John and Nell Woolman and Marguerite and Harold Miller, all long-standing members of South Bend Audubon who believed in the goals of the Society and wanted to see them fulfilled and extended. In the years since the fund's establishment, the South Bend-Elkhart Audubon Society has disbursed $300,000 in support of a wide variety of projects. In accord with the environmental dictum "Think globally, act locally," most of the funds were distributed in our membership area.
Who is eligible for a WGM Grant?
The projects to be supported by the WGM fund are chosen from among possibilities suggested by our membership or externally submitted proposals. The Society is interested in learning of worthwhile environmental and conservation programs and invites proposals from the community. Listed below are some guidelines you can use during the process of submitting a grant proposal.
All proposals must be submitted in writing to the WGM Committee. There is no specific format for a proposal, but it should indicate who the beneficiaries will be and how the project will further environmental or conservation goals.
Proposals must be for specific projects or expenditures, explicitly described. Requests for support of an organization's operating ex-penses or endowment will not be considered.
Organizations eligible to receive grants from the WGM Fund include schools, government agencies such as state and county parks, and 501(c)3 (not-for-profit) organizations whose missions are environment-, education- or conservation-oriented. Disbursements will not be made to individuals or to for-profit businesses.
The South Bend–Elkhart Audubon Society serves St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties, and proposals for projects in these areas are particularly welcome, but proposals from further afield will also be considered.

Launch slideshow »
Illinois 61, UNLV 59
The Illini went on a 10-2 run to close the game and Rayvonte Rice finished with a 25 points to sink the Rebels in a 61-59 loss. The Rebels (2-3) are now under .500 for the first time since 2005.
Three Rebels scored in double figures and Roscoe Smith grabbed 13 rebounds but for the second consecutive game UNLV didn't make the plays in the final minutes. UNLV led by six with about six minutes to play and scored only two points the rest of the way.
On UNLV's final possession, it started with the ball with 26 seconds left. After running 13 seconds off the clock Dave Rice called another timeout. The Rebels only had two team fouls so they wouldn't be able to send the Illini to the foul line if they missed.
Bryce Dejean-Jones took the inbounds pass and never looked to pass, instead driving to the right. He had been getting stripped several times in the second time and lost the ball again. He was able to flip the loose ball to Kevin Olekaibe in the corner for a 3-point attempt and once that rimmed out the Rebels were effectively finished.
UNLV returns to action Saturday at 4 p.m. against Tennessee-Martin. Check lasvegassun.com later tonight for a full report from the Rebels' defeat.

The Sun's UNLV basketball coverage
Tonight is a very important game for UNLV's future, both in terms of the rest of this season and 2014-15. That's because the Rebels (2-2) are looking to avoid falling below .500 for the first time since 2005 and top-10 recruit Rashad Vaughn will be in the stands to see if they can do it.
UNLV tips off against Illinois (5-0) at 7:45 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.
Vaughn, a Minnesota native, is playing his senior season at Findlay Prep in Henderson. However, his parents are in town for the visit and a positive rapport with them — not to mention the biggest victory of this young season — could go a long way for the Rebels.
UNLV coach Dave Rice and assistant Todd Simon have visited Vaughn's parents at home in Minnesota, and Simon, as the former Findlay Prep coach, established a relationship with Vaughn while recruiting him a little bit there. Vaughn also recently took a visit to Iowa State and he plans to schedule a trip to North Carolina. The last two visits will likely go to a couple of the other four finalists: Minnesota, Baylor, Kansas and Arizona.
As for the game tonight, UNLV can win if it plays a similar overall game to last week's loss to Arizona State. Other than giving up 40 points to Jahii Carson — and that's admittedly a large asterisk — the Rebels had their best overall performance in the 86-80 loss.
To get close to that performance again, the Rebels will rely on their one-two punch inside of juniors Khem Birch and Roscoe Smith. Those two are combining for 24.6 points, 27.6 rebounds and 6.75 blocks per game. Get production even close to that and UNLV should be in good position because Illinois isn't as talented on the wings as Arizona State.
Bern's prediction: The line has moved two points in UNLV's direction at several local books, swinging the Rebels from plus-3.5 to plus-1.5. Either way, this will be their second straight game as a home underdog, something that hasn't happened in a very long time. I think this one ends better for UNLV, with the added bonus of winning in front of a coveted recruit. UNLV 72, Illinois 64
