Задача Дирихле — вид задач, появляющийся при решении дифференциальных уравнений в частных производных второго порядка. Названа в честь Петера Густава Дирихле.

Постановка задачи
Задача Дирихле ставится следующим образом: пусть в области  задано уравнение

где  — оператор Лапласа. С краевыми условиями:

Такая задача называется внутренней задачей Дирихле или первой краевой задачей. Сами условия называются условиями Дирихле или первыми краевыми условиями. Второе название может трактоваться шире, обозначая любую задачу решения дифференциального уравнения, когда известно значение искомой функции на всей границе области. В случае, когда надо найти значения функции вне области , задача называется внешней задачей Дирихле.

Связанные теоремы

Теорема.
Решение задачи Дирихле, внутренней или внешней, единственно

Аналитическое решение
Аналитически задача Дирихле может быть решена с помощью теории потенциала. Решение однородного уравнения можно представить в виде:

где  — функция Грина для оператора Лапласа в области .

Численное решение
Построение аналитического выражения для функции Грина в сложных областях может вызвать затруднения, поэтому для решения таких задач приходится пользоваться численными методами. Для каждого метода есть свои особенности учёта первых краевых условий:
 в методе конечных разностей для узлов на границе области записывается уравнение , где  — номер соответствующего узла;
 в методе конечных элементов такие краевые условия называют главными краевыми условиями и они учитываются на этапе сборки матрицы; для всех весов, связанных с границей, уравнения заменяются на уравнения вида ; далее выполняется несколько шагов метода Гаусса, чтобы полученная матрица была симметричной.

Физическая интерпретация
Физическая интерпретация условий Дирихле — поведение искомой величины на границе:
 температуры, если рассматривается уравнение теплопроводности;
 поля скорости, если рассматривается уравнение Стокса;
 магнитное или электрического поля, если рассматривается некоторое уравнение, получаемое из уравнений Максвелла (тогда краевые условия называют магнитными или электрическими краевыми условиями, соответственно).

Q: How to type-enforce object value to match object key? I have objects that implements types like this:
type TMyObject<T extends string> {
  category: T
}

I need to statically store them in an other object, and ensure that the key of this second object matches the value of the category field, like so:
const myObject: TMyObject<'foo'> = { category: 'foo' }

const dico = {
  foo: myObject, // good
  bar: myObject, // bad: 'bar' key does not match myObject.category
}

I encounter this case, because I have interfaces that extends IMyObject and fixes the category field to a precise value, like so:
type TMyFooObject = IMyObject<'foo'>

I spent two hours trying to create a type for the dico object that would work as described, but I just cannot figure a way to solve this ^^
Important note: The category field and the possibles types extending TMyObject are not static, we cannot use a "simple" union here...
As ever, a huge thanks for the time spent reading, and maybe answering to this question !

A: We can make use of mapped types to define the values of an object based on their key.
type Dico<Keys extends string> = {
    [K in Keys]: TMyObject<K>
}

If we know all of the categories beforehand then we can create a map with those categories as keys.
const dico: Dico<'foo' | 'bar'> = {
  foo: { category: 'foo' }, // good
  bar: { category: 'foo' }, // error: Type '"foo"' is not assignable to type '"bar"'
}

You could use Partial<Dico<Category>> if you want to limit it to a set of valid categories but not require all of them to be present.
This makes sense only if your types are setup such that you already have an easy way to access a union type of all of the categories.
We want to be able to just look at an object and see if its keys match its category strings.  We can do that, but only if we create the object through an identity function.  A generic function allows us to infer the Keys type from the object.
const makeDico = <Keys extends string>(dico: Dico<Keys>) => dico;

const dico = makeDico({
  foo: { category: 'foo' }, // good
  bar: { category: 'foo' }, // error: Type '"foo"' is not assignable to type '"bar"'
});
// dico has type: Dico<"foo" | "bar">

Typescript Playground Link

A: As long as IMyObject has a cateogory of type string this is a runtime check, not a compile time check.
You can enforce the check to be a compile time check with specific types for each of your cases:
interface IFooObject {
  category: 'foo';
  foo: number;
  //other foo props
}

interface IBarObject {
  category: 'bar';
  bar: number;
  //other bar props
}

type IObject = IFooObject | IBarObject;

const myObject: IObject = { category: 'foo', foo: 123 }

type Disco<T> = T extends { category: infer U } ? U extends string ? { [P in U]: T } : never : never;

const disco: Disco<IObject> = {
  foo: myObject, // good
  bar: myObject, // this now fails!
};

Playground link
You can also use the generic type, but in that case you need to pass it all the way like:
type TMyObject<T extends string> = {
  category: T
}

const myObject: TMyObject<'foo'> = { category: 'foo' }

type Disco<T> = T extends { category: infer U } ? U extends string ? { [P in U]: T } : never : never;

const dico: Disco<typeof myObject> = {
  foo: myObject, // good
  bar: myObject, // bad: 'bar' key does not match myObject.category
}

While gender diversity is still at the forefront of external search assignments and internal succession programs for leading Australian companies, a recent Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC) panel on "Cracking the Bamboo Ceiling" has reaffirmed 'cultural diversity' as a critical lens for leadership succession.
With seven out of Australia's top ten export markets in Asia, our success as a country is already inextricably linked to Asia. When you consider that Asia represents a vast market for potential expansion with consumer demand worth US$10 trillion annually (similar to the US), companies are further understanding that fostering diverse talent from the top-down is not just a goal for equality, but has the potential to shape an organisation economically. Despite the potential, many leading Australian companies have failed their Asian-expansion strategies, or at least failed to optimise those strategies, in recent years largely for this reason: a lack of Asian-centric talent in their senior ranks.
As an economic powerhouse in the Pacific-region with a rich multicultural heritage, it is no surprise that 10% of Australians identify as Asian-born.
• Only 4% of Board Directors and less than 2% of Senior Executives in the ASX200 identify as having Asian cultural origins.
• It brings new perspectives.
Fellow panellist, Felicity Menzies, founder of inclusion consultancy firm Culture Plus explains that "Cultural diversity brings a difference of thought, which allows groups to make better decisions and fosters better results".
By developing an organisation's Asia-Capability or "A-Cap", as The Diversity Council Australia describes it, companies will be more able to tap into this potential. Yung Ngo, Westpac's Chair of Cultural Diversity Leadership explains that "Our workforce composition is changing. Innovation will only come about through different people bringing different perspectives".
Taking a leaf from the gender diversity book, one tactic seen to foster ethnic diversity up the corporate ladder is to institute voluntary targets. For example, when Australian boards committed to adding female leadership, the percentage of female directors on ASX200 boards doubled in four years, from 8.6% in 2010 to 17.6% in 2014.
How to adopt a target for ethnic quotas, however, is a little trickier. One major hurdle is how cultural diversity is actually defined. PwC, for example, announced in 2015 that by 2016, 20% of their Partner admits would be from a "diverse cultural background". Their 2020 target was for this to rise to 30%. However, their definition of a "diverse cultural background" seems inclusive of any non-Australian (including Europeans and Americans).
The crux of diversity is that it develops differing and unique mindsets and ways of thinking. While people born from different countries will inherently bring different ways of thinking, the problem with including western, Anglo-Saxon executives of non-Australian countries of origins in these "ethnically diverse" target data sets, is that their mindsets are inherently similar.
To drive innovation, companies should be looking for non-western mindsets, and increasingly in Australia, given the wide representation in our population, this is meaning people of Asian-ethnic backgrounds.
Tracking what it means to be ethnically diverse is one of the more difficult issues as at first it must be properly defined. There are many ways to do this be it country of birth, country of family heritage, country of childhood, adolescence, or university, language or religion. Yung Ngo believes that at its essence, "cultural perspective is defined as how you define yourself". Three of the Big Four accounting firms adopt this idea by instigating voluntary surveys which ask staff to self-identify cultural (and other forms) of diversity.
Deloitte, on the other hand, uses a data-driven approach. By using a third-party specialist, Deloitte draws from a database of 1.2 billion names from diverse cultural backgrounds, and analyses this against their employees. They claim this provides an accuracy rate of 86.5%. Deloitte, incidentally, is also the only Big Four firm to publicly reveal the cultural diversity of its partnership (one third come from non-Anglo Celtic backgrounds).
Whether by internal surveys or through a data-driven approach, Racial Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Tim Soutphommasane, believes this data should be publicly released, just like with gender-equity reporting.
While it is clear that organisations need to embrace diversity in leadership beyond gender, one of the biggest challenges that companies face is that the internal promotion of their diverse workforce and external executive search and recruitment activity often comes from looking through a "cultural fit" lens. While technical skills are highly sought after at the graduate level, for more senior management roles, hiring managers tend to accentuate EQ, personality and cultural chemistry with recruitment and promotion. The problem is that this can reduce diversity through the hiring process and lead to a homogenous workforce, whereby new recruits and internal promotion goes to 'like-minded' individuals, as opposed to people who would bring a diverse lens to the business.
While chemistry and the ability to be respected and manage a workforce is still naturally crucial in a hiring process, companies need to challenge unconscious biases around cultural differences and be prepared to embrace different management styles, given the economic potential of a diverse workforce. Dai Le, Founder of DAWN, a network that fosters cultural inclusion in Australia, notes that "leadership style in the west is very assertive", which may be difficult for eastern-oriented, more conservative styles. "People aspire to leadership positions", Dai continues, "so once diversity is established at the top-level, this will naturally filter down".
Internally, companies need to bring forward thinking to their succession plans, and ensure unconscious bias, and varied leadership styles and personalities are balanced with the economic advantages of diverse mindsets to help foster innovation.
Externally, a dual feedback loop needs to apply where both clients push executive search firms to strive for cultural diversity, and in turn, search firms need to consult to clients on the advantages of diversity beyond gender.
Johnson is at the forefront of this topic and strives to produce diverse longlists and shortlists for every single assignment.

Scientists discover non-invasive technique to monitor migraines

New UBC research has found that amplified electroencephalograms (EEGs) can produce diagnostic results of a brainwave associated with migraines and epilepsy that are comparable to the current, more invasive, standard—a discovery that could lead to better treatment and diagnosis of these conditions.
The low-frequency brainwave linked to migraines and epilepsy is known as cortical spreading depression (CSD) and is currently best studied by placing electrodes directly on the surface of the brain. But researchers from UBC, Germany and Iran have found that EEGs—produced by placing electrodes only on the scalp—can produce equally reliable data if a specially designed amplifier is used in tandem.
"Using this method, we found that the electrical signals acquired from the skin of the scalp were very similar to those acquired from the surface of the brain," said lead researcher Zoya Bastany, a master's student in the faculty of applied science at UBC.
Guy Dumont
Bastany designed an AC/DC amplifier to acquire electrical signals from scalp electrodes used on anesthetized rats. The amplifier detects signals in a much broader frequency range than the standard clinical EEG system. CSD was then induced in the rats, and the recordings from scalp electrodes were compared with recordings from electrodes placed on the rats' brains.
Cortical spreading depression has never before been accurately measured using EEGs, according to UBC electrical and computer engineering professor Guy Dumont, Bastany's supervisor and study co-author.
"The new method opens up uses for EEGs in studying cortical spreading depression in a non-invasive manner and without a significant increase in diagnostic costs compared to standard EEG," said Dumont.
Ali Gorji, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Münster in Germany and a study co-author, said the new analysis technique could contribute to the development of migraine drugs that target CSD, and to better understanding of other neurological disorders.
"Research is still continuing to fully understand the clinical relevance of CSD. But ultimately, having this noninvasive way of studying this brainwave could lead to better understanding, diagnosis and treatment of migraine, epilepsy and other neurological conditions such as stroke and traumatic brain injury," said Gorji.
The study is a joint research program between UBC, University of Münster, and Shefa Neuroscience Research Center and Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in Iran. A paper describing the results was published July 2016 in the journal Neuroscience. Contact lou.bosshart@ubc.ca to request a copy.

Malvern College First World War Casualty
2nd Lieut Edward William Burke
House and time at Malvern: No 2, 1911 - 1915.
Regiment: 70 Sq. R. F. C.
Died: 14 September 1916 aged 19 in France. Killed in action.
Battle: Battle of the Somme. Cemetery: Gezaincourt Communal Extension I E 12
Only Son of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Burke, of Cloonee, Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, b. 1897.
Middle Shell-Lower VI. School Prefect. Head of House. House XI Football.
He entered Sandhurst in May, 1915, and received his commission in November, 1915.
70th Sqdn. Royal Flying Corps and 6th Bn. Royal Fusiliers.
Sisters: Rose (age 12) & Olivia (age 8) in 1916.
'On passing out of Sandhurst in November 1915, Edward Burke joined his regiment at Dover, where he remained until he was attached to the R.F.C. in March 1916, when he began his training in the air. In July he was sent to the front. In the seven weeks he was out, he made many flights over the enemy's lines and won a great name for himself, as he was absolutely without fear. His pilot, Capt. Patrick, of the 70th Squadron, R.F.C., thus records the gallant way in which he died: "I selected him as my observer before all the others as he was one of the very best. We and another machine were somewhat behind on a reconnaissance when a strong hostile patrol came up and attacked the other machine. As the pilot was young and inexperienced, I turned to help him. We kept off the enemy, your son fighting like a hero. It was then that he was hit. He became unconscious but he recovered consciousness, and no sooner had he done so than he started working his Lewis gun, and actually fired another drum of ammunition before again losing consciousness. Your son was dead when he reached the ground. He was buried at Gezaincourt." Every letter from the front tells the same story of his pluck and reliability as an observer. But these letters also show how keenly his loss is felt for personal reasons. One of the 70th Squadron writes: "For some time past Paddy had been the life of the mess, and I do not expect ever to come across a more charming boy." The number of friends he had made in his short career is remarkable. He had a most attractive personality; his impulsive boyishness and his cheerful outlook on life made him a delightful companion. His many school friends, as well as his army friends, deeply regret his loss, and would wish to record their sympathy with his father and mother.' (Malvernian, Nov 1916).
The Burke Prize for Military Efficiency was founded from a bequest in memory of him:
'In honour of the memory of his son, E. W. Burke (No 2) 2nd Lt. 6th Bn. Royal Fusiliers and R.F.C., who was killed in Sept. 1916, W. C. Burke, Esq., O.M., has given the sum of £50, left by his son, to be at the disposal of the Cadet Corps. The money will be used to establish an efficiency prize in the Corps, which will be called the Burke Prize.' (Malvernian, Jun 1917).

The publication of Buses and Economic Growth in 2012 laid out for the first time, clearly and unequivocally, how buses support the wider economy. Building on this foundation, and in partnership with the Department for Transport, Greener Journeys commissioned the University of Leeds to do a follow up study, which was published earlier this month.
Buses and the Economy II explores in greater depth three key areas: how buses enable a well-functioning labour market; how they support strong town centres; and, how they fulfil a social insurance role both for people who use the bus regularly and for those who do not.
We learnt from Buses and Economic Growth that 2.5 million use the bus to get to work with a further 1 million using bus as back up mode. 400,000 bus commuters are either in work or in better more productive jobs as a direct result of the access to jobs which buses provide. In the follow up study, we asked the University of Leeds to turn the spotlight on the unemployed and the role which bus service can play in getting people into employment.
The findings provide compelling evidence of a significant relationship between bus accessibility and employment. For example, econometric modelling revealed that if bus journey times for commuters in England could be improved by just 10% this would be associated with more than 50,000 additional people in employment. In policy assessment terms, allowing for this employment impact would increase the benefit of bus accessibility improvements by a further 9-10% on top of their direct transport benefits.
People in urban areas who are currently unemployed and seeking work depend heavily on the bus for access to employment. In June/July 2013 just under 1,000 unemployed individuals attending Job Centre Plus offices were interviewed. Some very basic findings conditioned many of the results. For example, 57% did not have full car or motorcycle driving license, with 77% having no regular access to a car van or motorbike, this rising to 87% for 18-24 year olds.
The reliance of this group on buses is borne out by the high proportion who would use the bus to get to work. 58% of the job seekers surveyed use buses when in work, this rising to 72% for those who have no car available. This dependence is particularly acute for the young unemployed. Over four-fifths of unemployed 18-24 year olds are strongly reliant buses, and almost a quarter of have missed out on job opportunities because of no available bus service to get them there.
A key conclusion of Buses and Economic Growth was that the bus is a vital artery for shopping and leisure trips. Bus users make 1.4 billion shopping and leisure trips per year with an estimated spend of £27 billion, £22 billion of which is spent in towns and city centres. In the follow up studywe asked the University of Leeds to look in more depth at the nature of the retail and entertainment market and the role of the bus within it.
The bus emerges as a key mode of access to towns and city centres. Bus has largest market share of retail and leisure trips to city centres at 33% (versus 30% for car, and 22% for walking and cycling). And bus users are responsible for 29% of total expenditure on retail and entertainment in city centres. Overall bus users contribute 22% of expenditure on retail and entertainment across all locations.
The top reasons cited for choosing bus include: that it is less expensive, easier or more convenient, avoids parking difficulties, or having no car available. For those with limited car availability, bus accounts for over a third of all shopping trips. Without bus services, 16% of bus users would not have undertaken their planned activity.
The final key area explored was how buses provide a form of social insurance. People place significant value on having the option of a bus available, whether they use it or not, plus any social or community value they have on behalf of others. In Buses and Economic Growth we found that people are willing to pay over and above their fares to have a bus service available to them (even if they have a car) as part of the urban fabric giving a gross option value of £700 million.
In the follow up study we asked the University of Leeds to explore the option value of having a bus service in a specifically rural context. To do this they studied the value which local residents in Market Drayton, Bridgenorth and Much Wenlock place on the existence of the hourly bus services linking them to the county town Shrewsbury. They found that people place a significant option value, on average £122 per household per year, on the existence of the bus service over and above the value of the trips they actually make. The Shrewsbury case study gives a clear indication that the social insurance value of low frequency but regular bus services of this kind is appreciable.
Since the publication of Buses and Economic Growth in 2012, recognition of the wider economic value of bus services has grown. The same trip on the same day may be used for trips for commuting, education, shopping, recreation and leisure, personal business, visiting friends and relations, access to health care and other purposes. I hope that Buses and the Economy II will further cement recognition of the vital role the bus plays in facilitating a large number of important economic and social linkages.

Although the AMX has never quite become as famous or as common as Camaros and Mustangs of the period, they are increasingly sought after. The good news is that this rare 1968 AMC AMX is available for a bargain price, bringing a 390 cubic inch V8, a slick 2-seater body, and plenty of performance.
Maybe the world just wasn't quite ready for a 2-seat muscle car in 1968, but the AMX pulls it off. Obviously born with Javelin DNA in its veins, it is shorter, muscular, and definitely more aggressive-looking, and the proportions are exactly right. The long hood and fastback profile combined with the bright Matador Red paint and white stripes certainly gives the AMX a high-performance look that's more than just for show. It sports just over 80K original miles, but it's seen restoration, so it's sorted, and the vivid paint shows a showroom fresh gloss. It wears a stock hood with aggressive risers that were meant to allow for heat to escape from the headers. The simple horizontal grille with tiny AMX badge, the ribbed rocker panel moldings, and the slim taillights that hug the rear bumper all look great, and the chrome really is quite nice all around.
AMC really nailed the muscle car look inside, ... Please ask for the full description.

AMC really nailed the muscle car look inside, with pleated bucket seats flanking an automatic shifter and a racy twin-cockpit dash. The seats are in very good condition, and the red on red color combination is a great look for this sporty car. Red carpet covers the package area behind the seats, and the door panels are in very good shape with wood inserts and aftermarket speakers installed. The center stack and console bring more red to the cabin, and the gauges have cool silver centers with black perimeters that were decades ahead of their time. An AM/FM/cassette stereo fits neatly in the center of the dash, just ahead of the shifter, and an AutoMeter oil pressure gauge resides below the dash.
A 343 4-barrel was original to the car, but the 390 cubic inch V8 was one of AMC's more potent powerplants in 1968, and is what powers this lightweight. With 315 horsepower from the factory, it's a very strong runner that puts the light curb weight of the AMX to good use. The engine bay is finished with clean red fenders and a firewall that is accented nicely with a chrome air cleaner and valve covers on the 390. An MSD ignition provides sparks to the combustion chamber, while the cylinders breath out a dual exhaust that pops with a throaty V8 sound, leaving no question about the performance potential of this 2-seater. The 3-speed automatic transmission sends power to a 12-bolt rear end. And for fans of '60s performance, the Magnum 500 wheels are a welcomed touch, wrapped in 215/70/14 white-lettered radials.
The good news is that you can have a bright red V8-powered 2-seater for pennies on the dollar with this rare AMX. Only 6,700 of these cars were built in 1968, and prices have been quickly on the rise for specimens like this. Presenting a like-new appearance and a lot of fun for the buck, you don't want to miss this opportunity. Call today!

Simona Halep is enjoying her burgeoning rivalry with Sloane Stephens and the world number one believes her game is improving thanks to the American.
The duo have met twice in finals this year with Halep prevailing on both occasions after three-set thrillers in Paris and Montreal.
Halep ended her long wait for a grand slam with victory at Roland Garros in June as she came from a set down to beat Stephens 3-6 6-4 6-1.
Stephens once again pushed the Romanian all the way on Sunday, Halep needing a deciding set to claim the Rogers Cup title.
And Halep praised her opponent after the victory, saying Stephens' improvements are making her a better player.
"Both matches [against Stephens in 2018] were crazy good," she said. "She makes me play better and better every time we meet each other. That's a great thing for me.
"I feel like she improved in her mental [approach] also. She doesn't give up that much now.
"Of course, she's a strong player. I think she's a complex player. She has everything."
The win was Halep's 42nd of the year and brought her a third trophy, but she is in no mood to stop there with the US Open on the horizon.
She said: "I had a big holiday after the French Open, but my game is still there, and also the desire to win, which makes me happy and makes me more relaxed.
"I didn't wait 20 grand slams to lose the motivation. I won only one. I still have the motivation to be better and to win more, if that's possible.
"I will keep working. I will keep doing the same thing. Hopefully I will have many more."

Honestly I'm so proud of her doing so well after leaving her previous agency and I'm so happy to see her making better and better music with every comeback! We stan a queen.
The next one isn't really kpop more a kindie song but I absolutely adore it! The song is called When It Snows (흰 눈이 오면) by 1415, I really stumbled upon it by accident but I'm so glad I did because the song is really pretty and well, isn't Nam Joohyuk nice to look at?
Then we got VIXX's youngest member's first song, Boy with a Star. I'm really happy and proud of Hyuk for putting out something so beautiful as this song. Not to mention that the lyrics video is so atmospheric as well! I love it a lot.
So this would be it, these are my favourites of January. Do you have any favourites this month you kept listening to?
They do have quite catchy songs, so I don't blame you!
I just can't get into K-Pop, however, I totally understand the allure. A favourite band of mine Santana released new music in January and I am soooooooooo into it!
For me it's the opposite, I got into kpop in 2011 and i can't seem to get out of it. 😅 Ohh I might go and check them out!
I've never got into Kpop but I think I might need to check it out!
Hyuk's "Boy with a Star" is so beautiful I want to cry every time I listen to it – it's just such a gorgeous song. U Um U Um is a great song too! I also loved Dreamcatcher's new single and Seventeen and Astro's comeback!
Honestly same! I'm glad you liked Hyomin's new song! Ohh I liked Seventeen's comeback as well! They always seem to do so well!
I wasn't familiar with Hyomin before but I'm gonna keep an eye out for her in the future now 🙂 Seventeen NEVER disappoints me!
Yes please, love my queen! Ohh yes, Seventeen always serves carats well!
Such a lovely wrap-up of songs. Thinking of doing something like this on my own blog.
It's definitely a calming song to listen to!
I'm bookmarking this to listen to later!
Thanks for writing out this list of K-pop artists! I'm cray-cray about Bts, but theses look great, all the same!
I keep listening to twit – Hwasa!

When the oilman comes calling
Tracey Eaton | June 16, 2019 June 16, 2019
Exxon Mobil Corp. is suing Corporación CIMEX and the Unión Cuba-Petróleo, or CUPET, for "unlawful trafficking" of properties that Cuban authorities confiscated in 1960.
Total damages could exceed $6 billion, which is more than the Cuban companies are worth.
Exxon's lawsuit, filed May 2 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., states:
CIMEX uses and continues to profit from the confiscated property by, among other things, operating service stations in cooperation with CUPET, the state-owned oil company of Cuba. CUPET additionally uses and continues to profit from the confiscated property through its use of the Ñico Lopez Refinery (formerly known as the Belot Refinery) and certain terminals and plants used in conjunction with the refinery operations.
CIMEX and CUPET have not filed a response to the lawsuit. If the companies don't respond, it's likely that U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta would declare default judgments against them.
Exxon, based in Irving, Texas, began doing business in Cuba as the Standard Oil Company more than 100 years ago.
Standard Oil's subsidiaries in Cuba were Esso Standard Oil S.A., or Essoaa, in Havana, and Esso Standard Inc. and Esso Inc., two Delaware companies that explored for and produced crude oil.
Exxon's lawsuit states:
On October 30, 1959, Cuban government inspectors from Fomento Nacional (National Development) arrived at the office of the Exploration Companies and confiscated and copied all files, maps, and other records of geological exploration. After the copying incident and the passage of Law 625 of November 29, 1959, which changed the basis for granting mineral concessions, the Exploration Companies stopped all exploration efforts on the island. On February 1, 1960, the Exploration Companies closed their office in Cuba.
On July 1, 1960, Essosa's property rights were expropriated pursuant to Resolution No. 33 issued by the Cuban Petroleum Institute, which was issued pursuant to Resolution No. 190 of June 30, 1960 by Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro. The Director General of the Cuban Petroleum Institute appointed Major Onelio Pino as "Interventor" of Essosa for "all the properties and installations that [Essosa] may have in Cuba."
As a result, Essosa not only lost control over its assets, but it was also forced to end its ongoing operations. Essosa was prohibited from operating its expanded Belot Refinery, which was completed in early 1958 and employed 530 people. Essosa was also forced to abandon its Cuban-based marketing operation with over 500 employees who were engaged in selling and distributing products through more than one thousand retail outlets. And Essosa was also forced to cease operating its service stations in Cuba.
Exxon Mobil says seized assets included:
Belot Refinery, a new 35,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Havana, including:
a marine terminal;
a 8,800 pounds-per-day grease plant;
a 205 barrel-per-day lube blending and packaging plant; and
109 storage tanks with a total capacity of 2.4 million barrels.
Bulk products terminals, including:
three ocean terminals;
seven inland terminals; and
seven bulk and packaging plants.
Service station properties, including:
117 service station properties; and
176 loans outstanding to service station owners secured by mortgages.
Standard Oil filed a claim with the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission after the properties were confiscated. On Sept. 3, 1969, the commission certified that Standard Oil had suffered a loss of $71,611,002.90, not including interest.
An interest rate of 6 percent per year from the July 1, 1960, loss through today would bring the claim to $2,102,422,236.88.
The claims commission also allows for triple damages, which would raise the total to $6,307,266,710.64.
Lawyers for Exxon Mobil describe the company as "Cuba's largest commercial corporation with annual revenues reportedly as high as $1.3 billion….CIMEX reportedly maintains a financial division that manages all remittance wire transfers from the United States and a tourism company that is the exclusive provider of travel from the United States."
CIMEX and CUPET "operate over 300 services stations across Cuba…"

New Delhi, Jan 25 : The late Bollywood actor, Kader Khan, has been named for the Padma Shri honour by the government, which will also confer the fourth-highest civilian honour on film celebrities like Prabhudheva and Manoj Bajpayee. Malayalam star Mohanlal will get the Padma Bhushan.
The Padma awardees for the year were announced on Friday, the eve of India's 70th Republic Day.
Kader Khan, who died on December 31 last year after prolonged illness in Canada, is being recognised for his immense contribution to the world of films as a writer and actor par excellence. He was 81.
Mohanlal, who will be conferred the third-highest civilian honour, the Padma Bhushan, has had a prolific career spanning four decades, during which he has worked across Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films.
Among the Padma Shri awardees, Manoj has been recognised for his work as an actor, while Prabhudheva has been named for his skills in dance.


Regardless of whether you're on the chase for another house (or another more established house) or have settled on a choice to work with the one you have, maybe dependent on sentiment, spending plan, and additionally your family's needs (called the "program" in design terms), in some cases what to do with the home itself can be somewhat confusing. Terms, for example, renovation, rebuilding, protection, and rehabilitation are sometimes utilized reciprocally, however their definitions and purposes for existing are about as far separated as Maine and Hawaii. But let's suppose you find the ideal home, what now? You shall soon find out that having a historic home brings a series of questions, goals and decisions.
Choosing whether to go for rehabilitation or Earth Moving, and to what degree, includes understanding its history; its design; and the current state of its materials, completions, and frameworks. You ought to likewise consider your family's way of life and what individual needs the completed house must suit. All the more extensively, nearby architecturally significant area assignments, neighborhood construction regulations, property protection, and other administrative or money related contemplations will affect the way you take.
Who lived in the house and when? Did important occasions happen there? Did either (or both) situations have historic significance? Assuming this is the case, you could consider restoring the house to that period to help translate its history.
To restore a house means to restore its interior and outside appearance to a specific date or day and age. Strict rebuilding efforts—ones that take out everything not present amid the period picked—are uncommon for homes, with most proprietors selecting to keep up current frameworks and thoughtfully structured changes, for example, later options that add to the house's history.
To rehabilitate a house defines to make it functional and useful for contemporary living while at the same time protecting vital historical and compositional features. For instance, a rehabilitated old house would dependably incorporate current electrical, mechanical, and plumbing frameworks, an advanced kitchen, and different characteristics run of the mill of present-day homes.
The real distinction among rehabilitating and Earth Moving is to either precisely copy a specific period or focus on saving a feeling of the progressions that have happened after some time. For instance, if an Italianate-style house had lost its wood eave sections, a restoration project would copy them in wood as they initially appeared, while a rehab project would include new sections of a suitable design in a proper substitute material.
Think about the quality, structure, materials, and craftsmanship of the original place and also the progressions that have happened after some time. Perfect interior and exterior changes of the equivalent or preferable quality over the first house, regardless of whether done in various styles or materials, ought to presumably be kept and reestablished. On the other hand, you ought to most likely expel any ineffectively structured or executed changes.
When adding to or modifying your home, think about its scale (clear size), genuine measurement, and massing (extent/balance). Utilize materials, surfaces, and colors like those of the first building.
The way to a quality rehabilitation is the means by which it accommodates present day innovations and living styles. Keep changes non-meddlesome and perfect with the house's structure and style, and don't give adjustments a chance to devastate or cover truly or structurally huge highlights or materials.
This may appear to be strange, yet you really would like to have the capacity to distinguish increments one from the original. That way, the house's history is unmistakable and visible. Additionally be mindful so as not to plan options that influence the house to seem to date from a prior or later period, or modify the house's subtle elements to a degree that propose an alternate structural period.
You can look to building restoration limited companies which will help you in your endeavor to restore or rehabilitate your building. Be it large or small. These building restoration limited companies are masters of their fields. Some notable ones to choose from include , Minerva Building Restoration Limited, CG building restoration limited and many more.
How Can I Deep Clean My Carpet Without A Machine?


Thanks to Rowland Yu of SophosLabs for his behind-the-scenes work on this article.
It's normal for Android apps to download plugins. The main application might just be a "view folder" while plugins provide much of the functionality. It's not so normal when one of those plugins tries to steal your SMS messages.
SophosLabs has discovered two apps on Google Play with plugins that do just that. Both are from a developer named New.App. The apps have been on Google Play since May and have attracted between 100,000 and 500,000 downloads so far. Labs has detected the threat as Andr/SpyAgnt-X.
One app is billed as an app store shortcut feature, while the other is for "Skin Care Magazine".
When the apps start, they launch a new process in the class of adb.core.Mgr to download an addition plugin called abs.plugin.as.jar from the remote website hxxp://45.79.83.140/plugin/10/abs.plugin.as.jar.
The malicious .jar payload will check if the device SDK version is between 4.2 to 4.4. If so, it then requests an SMS permission, reads all messages in the SMS inbox and sends messages to remote websites.
There are thousands of different plugins in the wild. Some of them are embedded in apps while others are downloaded dynamically at runtime. This means that distinguishing if these plugin are malicious or not will be challenging work.
SophosLabs believes we'll be seeing more of these malicious plugins.
As we mentioned above, SophosLabs has identified and protected Sophos users against the malicious plugins.
Our advice: if you see these apps in Google Play, don't download them. We'll continue working with Google to get them removed.
The continued onslaught of malicious Android apps demonstrates the need to use an Android antivirus such as our free Sophos Mobile Security for Android.
By blocking the install of malicious and unwanted apps, even if they come from Google Play, you can spare yourself lots of trouble.
How can we tell yours isn't malicious malware ?
You should try asking yourself whether you have good reason to trust us – or any other app vendor that is new to you.
Do we have a reason to ask for the permissions we do? How long has our product been around in Google Play? When you read up on the history of Sophos, look at our website, search for us in the media, do you get a mostly favourable impression? What effort do we put into community engagement, free tools and giving advice that is there primarily to help rather than to close deals?
Does our website show the breadth, depth and objectivity you would expect of a company that has earned its reputation rather than purchased it or concocted it? Do you know someone who has tried our product whom you can ask on person, rather than relying on reviews in the Play Store? How widely used is our product? Can you find reference to our product in any third party tests that don't just sound like "pay to play" marketing fluff?
…do you think that the contact details we've provided on our website are accurate enough to do so, or do we sound like a cover story for a holding company that doesn't want to be found?
My opinion is that Sophos does stand up to scrutiny, and that a reasonable person would trust our Android anti-virus (and any of our other products, too).
Paul, I've just purchased my first Android phone — Blackberry's KeyONE — and I'm trying to keep out of grasp of Google as much as possible. Is there a way to download the Sophos Android app without Google Play? I've used the Amazon App Store to download known trusted apps such as Facebook Messenger etc. but unfortunately yours is not on there.
If you have a test phone with a Play account that you can use to fetch apps, and if your daily driver "Play-free" phone allows sideloading, you could always transfer the APK from the test phone to the other device using the Android Debug Bridge. I sometimes do that to install our app into firmware builds that don't contain Google Apps, or from a regular phone into a vanilla emulator image.
The download from Sophos itself is for our managed product only – it's for use with Sophos Mobile Control, where you have a management console (on your premises or in the cloud via Sophos Central).

Metropolitanska knjižnica je knjižnica u Hrvatskoj.

Povijest
Početci Metropolitanske knjižnice, dragulja među hrvatskim knjižnicama, sežu duboko u 11. stoljeće, u vrijeme kada Zagreb postaje biskupski grad (1093. – 1094.) U ovoj je knjižnici sabrano iznimno bogatstvo pisane riječi, a mnogi je stručnjaci smatraju jednom od vrednijih europskih crkvenih knjižnica.

Knjižnicom u pravom smislu riječi postala je već u 14. stoljeću, a potvrdu toj tvrdnji nalazimo u inventarima zagrebačke Katedrale iz 14. i 15. stoljeća. Na temelju najstarijeg iz 1394. godine možemo pretpostaviti kako je izgledala knjižnica zagrebačke Katedrale u to vrijeme. Od kodeksa koje spominje najstariji inventar, izdvajaju se Biblia sollemnis, Liber sententiarum, Passionale i Benedictionale. Zanimljivo je spomenuti da pisac inventara rukopise popisuje prema njihovim fizičkim obilježjima pa pojedinu knjigu možemo prepoznati po opisu uveza, formatu i po posljednjoj riječi teksta na kraju prvog lista. Osnovu knjižnice čine juridičke, biblijske, liturgijske, filozofske i teološke knjige.

Pravu renesansu knjižnica doživljava u vrijeme biskupa Mikulića (1688. – 1694.) koji, osim što je 1692. sagradio knjižnicu i u njoj objedinio sve knjige, razmještene na različitim mjestima, otkupio vrlo vrijednu knjižnicu poznatog slovenskog polihistora J. W. Valvasora.

Velike zasluge za promicanje Metropolitane pripadaju dvama biskupima – Maksimilijanu Vrhovcu (1787. – 1827.), koji je pribavljao literaturu iz različitih europskih država i Jurju Hauliku (1783. – 1869.), koji ju je otvorio kulturnoj javnosti 1846. godine.

Posebnim ugovorom (1914.) između Prvostolnog Kaptola i Kraljevske sveučilišne knjižnice, Metropolitana se od 1916. nalazi u prostorijama Kraljevske sveučilišne knjižnice, danas Hrvatskog državnog arhiva.

Fond
Najstariji je rukopis Passionale iz 11. stoljeća, pisan vjerojatno u Splitu. Djela su pisana hrvatskim, latinskim, njemačkim, grčkim, talijanskim i drugim jezicima. Najveći je broj rukopisa pisan goticom, karolinom, nekoliko glagoljicom, a samo jedan u cjelini beneventanom.

Metropolitana čuva i najveću zbirku inkunabula u Hrvatskoj (252). Vrlo vrijednu cjelinu čine knjige tiskane u 16. st. (1470 naslova). Posebno valja spomenuti vrlo malu, ali vrijednu zbirku zemljopisnih karata i atlasa te već spomenutu Valvasorovu knjižnicu. Knjižni fond ove knjižnice omogućuje nam upoznavanje različitih uveza i načina opreme knjiga, povijesti tiskarstva te mnoga vrijedna i rijetka izdanja starih domaćih i stranih izdavača.

Q: How can I disable the scroll-to-end feature Whenever I run my code in Pycharm (community version), the run window automatically scrolls to the end. I would like to turn this feature off. However, everytime I run my code it re-enables itself.
I've looked for answers. This post on stackoverflow, suggests clicking in the run panel before it ends. My code, however, is finished before i can click in the panel to disable the scrolling.
Also under settings I cannot find any options to disable this.


How to walk your cat on a leash.
As it turns out, walking a cat on a leash isn't some senseless gimmick. Many felines find great pleasure in time spent outside, enjoying the sounds of birds chirping and the scent of freshly cut grass, just like humans do. Even more, that activity can help strengthen the bond between a cat and his owner, giving the pair something to experience together. Sherry Woodard, a longtime animal behavior consultant at Best Friends Animal Society, spoke with The Huffington Post to explain why every cat should be given the chance to step its paw out into nature.
Not all cats will want to be walked on a leash, but every cat should be given the opportunity.
Walking a cat can provide your pet with a more enriched life. "A lot of cats love to go outside and smell things, see things and roll around in sand and grass and dirt. They love to scratch real trees. Those are things they can do on a walk," Woodard said.
When out for a walk -- rather than prowling an apartment -- a cat will use his brain in different and more thoughtful ways. "The cat is thinking more. It's thinking about how to use its body and what things smell like. The cats are brighter and engaged," said Woodard. The fact that the two of you will be exercising is an added bonus.
Walking can transform a scaredy cat into a cool cat.
"A lot of cats may lack confidence, but they gain it once they're harnessed trained," Woodard explained. Given the chance to explore their surroundings, some cats become more comfortable in their day-to-day lives.
Not all cats will comply with your leash desires. And that's OK. If a cat shows no interest in the great outdoors, his decision should be respected.
Cats should be trained indoors first.
For the sake of safety, it's crucial to start training indoors, Woodard said. She suggests purchasing a harness and leaving it inside the house for your cat to play with and smell, so he isn't afraid of it. Next, strap your cat into the harness and make sure it's properly fitted and that your pet is comfortable. Then let kitty wear the harness around the house. Let him drag the leash and grow accustomed to having something strapped around his body.
Woodard said it's smart to reward your cat with treats throughout this process; give him a spoonful of wet food while you're first adjusting the harness so he's distracted.
Cats should be comfortable on their harness before heading outdoors.
Once you are ready to take things outside, open the door and let your cat sniff around and choose the direction (while you are holding on to the leash). Ideally, the first outdoor space should be enclosed with a fence and not be filled with stimuli. If you live in a city, consider putting your cat in a crate and driving somewhere more remote without loud sounds and masses of people, which can be overwhelming. Once your cat seems comfortable on the leash, add walking to the long list of things you like to do together.
Make sure your cat doesn't become an escape artist.
Woodard said that once they get a taste of being outside, some cats may wait by the door and attempt to run out once it's opened. Make it clear to your cat that the only time he can go outside is when he is dressed in the harness.
If your cat isn't into leash life, but you want him to enjoy a new space, Woodard said to consider a catio -- an enclosed outdoor space where your cat can walk around freely. Sounds liberating, doesn't it? You might build a catio on your terrace or in your yard and enjoy the space together. This can also fortify your connection. You can also look into cat fencing, a cat bag or a cat stroller -- they're are all ways to give a timid cat the opportunity to safely smell and hear the world.
So, what do you say? Will you let your cat be one of the dogs?
