As a partner with R. Meo Associates prior to establishing Passa Architects, Joseph Passa was Project Architect and designer for this non-profit 92 unit, 2 building, 4 story apartment complex designed to house both singles and families. The site design required a safe and secure family play area away from noise and traffic which the resulting curvilinear brick wall provided while linking the two buildings. Large curved entry walls were also employed to provide strong visual elements for each building with associated flared top different colored columns.

The larva feeds on grasses.
Hipparchia fatua inhabits dry and hot habitats in low altitudes, often near the coast. I observed the butterflies in Rhodes often in dry river beds, but also on rocky slopes and in open pine forest. In Samos I observed larvae in a grassy stripe between road and cliff near the coast.
The caterpillars hibernate and are mature in May. This is much earlier than it is the case with the related Hipparchia statilinus. The adults are on the wing between June and October. In hot arid regions such as Rhodes they aestivate and oviposit in autumn. The larvae can locally reach high densities and can be found near the ground at daytime.
Hipparchia fatua occurs in Southeastern Europe from Croatia and Bulgaria to Greece. It is also found in Asia Minor, Transcaucasia and the Near East.

CM Jagan Mohan Reddy To Focus On Ministers Performance
Hans News Service | 27 Sep 2019 7:21 AM GMT
Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy is said to be worried about the performance of his cabinet ministers who are not supportive in any which way.
Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy is said to be worried about the performance of his cabinet ministers who are not supportive in any which way. The YSRCP chief is single-handedly running the government by holding review meetings with every department in the state. After a wide range of review meeting for last ten days taking decisions on various issues, Jagan Mohan Reddy reportedly will be focussing on the Minister's performance.
It is quite evident that no minister except one or two coming to condemn the opposition's remarks on the government on various issues. In this regard, Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to get the reports on Cabinet ministers from Intelligence and will hold a meeting with the cabinet to sort out the differences among the ministers.
The CM would be advising the ministers to take part in government programs and also to hold press meets to lash the opposition party for spreading false propaganda. It is expected that the Chief Minister would sack a couple of ministers once he gets the reports. On the other hand, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is said to be fired on APIIC chairperson RK Roja for not holding press meets to lash out at opposition. Let's wait and see how Jagan would manage the government and part in the coming days.

The Fringe Candidate [Volume I of Brad Swift's 'Amberica' Series] A race against evil . . . and time — Delivering a simple truth can be the most courageous act — — Exposing evil rulers is a game of life or death — Led to the brink of destruction by its corrupt POTUS, Amberica is bleaker than ever. Who could hope to unseat Oscar Wellian, a fascist who wields the full force of martial law? Plenty are willing to try, but only one entrant has what it takes to give Oscar a run for his ill-gotten gains. Enter Angeline Tarkington . . . the people's final hope. Despite her heart of gold and concrete ideals, it won't be easy. Is Tarkington's integrity enough to combat systemic corruption and heal a hemorrhaging nation? An amalgam of corporate interests known as 'The Triumvirate' will stop at nothing to silence her, and Tarkington can't expect victory without sacrifice. Tarkington's ability to transform those around her will be put to the ultimate test, as new allies may mean the difference between victory and defeat, but will they join her? In any case, she'll need to tread very carefully. Unmasking a monster will be an invitation to an all-out duel with the nation as the prize. With The Fringe Candidate, Brad Swift offers readers a picture of untold possibility. The Amberica series is visionary fiction from a dreamer's apex—dark and doubly daring for its optimistic soul.

Interview #2
OUR FOREIGN ENEMIES are drooling over the small chance that one of the Democrat Candidates might unseat me. Will never happen. Tweet by President Oscar Wellian
ON A STIFLING FRIDAY night, I sat in the chair as Mindy, the makeup artist, tried to take ten years off my face while Cynthia fanned me with a magazine in an effort to keep the makeup from running down into my shoes. Earlier in the week I had asked her to stay late on Friday night and make sure to keep me positive.
"You're kidding, right? Is this one of your silly jokes about me being too upbeat and perky?"
"No, no, not at all," I replied, now regretting all those jabs even though I really did find her too energetic especially on Monday mornings. "No, I have a big interview with Angeline Tarkington and..."
"Yeah, I heard about that. You really are crazy, aren't you? A ten point upturn in the rating over one show. What were you on when you made that bet?"
I shrugged. "I like living on the edge sometimes. It helps keep me sharp, which is also why I need you there to keep me out of my head. You know, be my cheerleader of sorts?"
Cynthia stared at me for a long moment with a look of suspicion on her face. Finally, she asked, "And what's in it for me?"
That's my girl. I'd taught her well. I felt a wave of pride as I pretended to ponder the question, even though I was prepared to respond. "Time and a half for the hours after 5 PM."
Cynthia shook her head. "I already get that from the network. No, what are you prepared to give me to spice up the deal a bit more?"
I resisted reaching out to hug here, my pride was so great. Instead, I replied, "Okay, all that plus a two-fifty bonus under the table so you don't have to report it on your taxes. Deal?"
"Deal!" She replied, dancing around. "There's a Louis Vuitton handbag I want and that should just about give me enough."
"Really, how nice," I replied. Of course I knew all about the handbag, having seen the ad for it sitting on her desk.
So, here we were, Mindy, Cynthia, and me preparing for the 'fight of the century,' and no lie, I was nervous. What if I blew this one again? Would Edward really hold me to my promise? I'd just as soon not find out.
"Fan harder," I ordered and Cynthia responded.
"We had such a positive response last week from our next guest's appearance, that we moved heaven and earth to have her back on the show, so welcome Angeline Tarkington to our show again." This time I shut up and let her respond. Already an improvement, right?
"Thank you, Brasten, for inviting me back."
"I understand that in another interview you're quoted as having referred to the 'the darker psychic forces at work in our country.' Would you care to expand on that comment?"
"Certainly," Angeline replied. She leaned forward for emphasis. "Our current president is fostering a deep part of our country's collective consciousness, the darker side of fear and hate. It's time for us to bring that phase to an end and replace it with a more caring and compassionate consciousness, one of Universal Love, brother and sisterhood."
Good answer, I thought, but hardly one that will spike the ratings, so I decided I needed to go in deeper and see what gold I could mine. "I understand that you are a minister, is that correct?"
"I led a church for a time, though I'm not ordained," Angeline replied.
"A Unity Church, if I'm not mistaken," I countered pretending innocence.
"Well, we prefer calling them Unity Centers but yes, that's correct."
"Some say that Unity is a religious cult so would that make you a cult leader?"
Angeline sat there and blinked several times before replying. "I'm not sure to whom you are referring when you say 'some' but I would reply that they are misinformed. Unity is a Christian based organization who believes in the authentic spiritual inquiry of all religions and faiths."
Darn, another perfectly acceptable answer, I thought. Oh well, on to the next question.
"Let's take a few minutes to look at some of the policies and plans you advocate, like a Department of Peace and another one, Department for Children..."
"Yes, that's correct," Tarkington replied. "If we truly want peace and I believe all Americans do, we should devote as much time and money to fostering it as we do in preparing for war. I'm in favor of giving our military everything that they indicate that they need, but our government has bowed to the demands of the military-industrial complex and our budget reflects this."
She paused to take a sip of water, and then was at it again. "As for my proposed Department for Children, for far too long we've given lip service to our children, claiming they are the future of our country, but then not delivering on what they truly need for that future to be bright. So, yes, that's one very important part of my platform."
The interview continued like that for several more minutes.
"I'm curious, and I imagine many of our viewers are as well, what made you decide to run for President? I mean, you've had a very successful career as an author and speaker. Why jump into the political arena, especially one that by your own admission is so broken and dysfunctional?"
Angeline gazed at me for several seconds with a serene look on her face. In that moment, she really did look the part of an angel. Finally, she replied, "It was a couple of years ago. I was in New York for a number of speaking engagements and book signings for my new book. It was a hectic schedule to say the least, but in the midst of it, I slipped away early one morning to visit the Statue of Liberty. As many times as I'd been in New York, I'd never taken the time to visit it. While I was there, I read the passage inscribed on it. The first line really spoke to me, almost like Lady Liberty was whispering the words in my ears. 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.'"
I realized she and I had much in common. I had been working tirelessly for decades for the 'huddled masses yearning to breathe free.' That's when I realized she was inviting me to play a bigger game. It simply took me a bit to realize what form that would take."
Angeline smiled at me. "Thank you for the question."
And just like that, it was time to thank Angeline for appearing on the show and to sign off.
"So, that's another week in the madcap world of news and politics. Are you kidding me? Watch this space. Until next week, this is Brasten Gramarly, good night."
I waited for the light on the camera to wink off before turning back to Angeline. "Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?"
"No, it was fine. By comparison to last week, you were quite professional, all things considered." She smiled and reached out to grasp my hands before asking, "How is your wife?"
"What?" I said, taken aback by the personal question. "Why, she's dead. She died over two years ago."
Instead of an "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know," Angeline leaned in closer and strengthened her grip on my hands. "Yes, I know. How is she?"
I opened my mouth to reply even though I really didn't know how to answer her question, but before I could do so, Cynthia was at my elbow saying, "Edward would like to see you in his office right away."
I nodded to her and looked back at Angeline who just smiled again and patted my hand. "You have a good weekend. I'm sure Edward won't hold you to your promise. It was made in a moment of desperation and fear. There's a lot of that going around these days. Good night."
Turns out she was right. The show did all right with a rating increase of about five points, only half way to what I'd promised, but Edward was pleased that I'd not made a fool of myself, even though he did harangue on me a bit about the Unity question. But overall he was satisfied, and I still had my job, as well as a new level of intrigue about Angeline Tarkington. What had she meant by that question about Dottie, and how in the hell did she know about my promise to Edward? So far, I had far more questions than answers.


Truth 1. First Impressions DO Count!
When we meet someone for the first time, we notice a number of things about that person—physical characteristics, clothes, firmness of handshake, gestures, tone of voice, and the like. We then use these impressions to fit the person into ready-made categories. And this early categorization, formed quickly and on the basis of minimal information, tends to hold greater weight than impressions and information received later. This categorization is what we commonly refer to as a first impression.


Recently, the United States pulled out of its worst economic recession since The Great Depression. There were not too many people who avoided being hit by the poor economy. Despite becoming one of the biggest black stars out, Terry Crews was hit by the rough economy. It was rough on Crews, but he decided to work his way out of the situation.
For a long time, Terry Crews worked hard to land quality roles on television and film projects. His big break came when he played as the replacement of Deebo on Friday After Next. The role led to a string of guest appearances, including "My Wife and Kids." Soon, Crews would find himself playing the father in a family sitcom. In 2005, he was cast to play the father to a childhood Chris Rock on "Everybody Hates Chris."
The fans quickly fell in love with Crew' Julius, the super-cheap father of three in 1980s Brooklyn, New York. For four years, he played the role and the show became a crossover hit. To this day, people still quote some of Julius' money-saving tips as a joke. Despite the popularity of "Everybody Hates Chris," the network cancelled the show because they were headed in a different direction. Right after the announcement was made, Terry Crews reached an agreement with BET for his own reality show, "The Family Crews," where he continues to play the dad.
Due to the popularity of "The Family Crews," it will be returning for a second season on BET this summer. In addition to his BET reality show, Terry Crews was also cast to play the lead role in the new TBS sitcom. For the second time, Crews has partnered with Ice Cube and he is playing the dad again in "Are We There Yet?" This time around, Crews is the stepfather of two children who are not fully sold on him. The first week ratings for the show were high and Terry Crews received acclaim for his role on the show. However, the rest of the show has been considered an all around disappointment.
Ever since the cancellation of "Everybody Hates Chris," Terry Crews has appeared on almost everything, earning the nickname of Black America's Dad. This is no coincidence because Crews was laid off during a tough economic period like many other people. He pulled himself up by the bootstraps and decided to make things happen. Terry Crews said he needs the work just like everybody else, so he used his popularity to build a brand. Outside of the television shows, he even has a contract with Old Spice to do their commercials and he has no plans of slowing down.

I've always been about connecting people, and contributing to the sense of community where I can. In the dark days BT (before Twitter), I used to sell my knowledge and experience, and guard what I know quite closely. I viewed my knowledge as this big secret tat had a big value. I had a business as a trainer that did quite well for a few years, then not so well when the recession came along and no one had any money to pay.
The thing I came to realise was that I didn't have any big secret about recruiting. I didn't invent anything. I was quite good at framing it. Explaining and simplifying what I knew and inspiring people to get on and do it. I could map out a good process, and spot problems, but there was nothing secret about it. Then everyone ran out of money and there was nothing to pay for a consultant or trainer, and I had to start again.
What I learnt from all this is that information and knowledge is free, and everywhere in the net age. The more of my knowledge and experience that I gave away and made public to anyone who wanted to talk or listen or read, the more people wanted to work with me to just try something crazy, something different. With #tru, I wanted to make knowledge sharing as cheap as possible, and give anyone who wanted to share a platform to do just that, and I wanted a community where anyone with an idea, even without a reputation could share it. I also wanted a community where people can connect and help each other. Help each other not for financial gain, though plenty of people do naturally buy from the people they get to know and trust, but just because we can and it is what we do. When someone wants some help from some of the crazy folk who think differently, then we give it, because it feels good, and you never know when you are going to be doing the asking.
A few years ago I discovered Stack Overflow, the programmer community where anyone can ask questions, get answers, rank answers and recognise other contributors to the community. It mirrors my philosophy of not having any competitors, only collaborators. You can read my review of Stack Overflow HERE. This is a real community run by the community. I'm delighted that founder Joel Spolsky is going to be at #trulondon on Monday to share the story from 4.00 PM GMT. You can watch Joel's conversation live via the Kelly Services Live Hangout (along with the rest of the 2 days by registering HERE.
Since starting to follow Stack Overflow and seeing how the community runs itself, and members help and rank each other, I've wanted to build something similar for the people space to do the same. I define the people space as anyone from recruiters, technology folk, HR etc who have anything to do with getting people hired.
"Write an actual question that you might ask on the site.
YOU can help make this a reality by signing up to follow the site and asking the type of questions you would want to ask on the live site, and to share the concept in your own networks. There is a way to go before we are live, but my plan is to take the community to 1000 members over the next 6 weeks. The important thing here is that the community determines for itself what #trufriends is going to be about. We are 31 followers from the next step. Please be one of the 31.
I think this will be a great resource for sharing and helping, and a real community. I want to provide the on-line place through Stack Exchange, and let the community do the rest.
Please sign up HERE and spread the word.

Apple Stocks Up on iPad Minis as Holiday Shopping Season Kicks Off
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White shared his thoughts about the availability of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad mini with Retina display in a recent note to investors. In the note obtained by Barron's, the analyst observed that Apple's second-generation iPad mini has finally started to become available for walk-in purchase at Apple's retail stores.
"As of late last night, the Fifth Avenue Apple Store received shipments for in-store pickup of the iPad mini with Retina Display and certain other NYC stores (Upper West Side, 14th Street) received shipments this morning, which we believe is an early indicator that other stores around the country (and world) will start to receive shipments over the next week," wrote White.
The Cupertino-based company caught many Apple watchers off guard when it unexpectedly launched the iPad mini with Retina display on November 12. Many industry analysts predicted that Apple would delay the launch of its new compact tablet for as long as possible due to supply constraints. However, White believes that the Retina iPad mini supply constraints are what drove Apple to stage its "stealthiest" device launch to date. The analyst also believes that Apple's new iPad mini is in the third phase of this so-called "stealth" launch.
"This clandestine launch began with a quiet pre-order period (11/12), and this transitioned to a 'Personal Pickup' availability (but limited) late last week," wrote White in the note obtained by Barron's. "The third phase of this stealth launch appears to be limited availability of the iPad mini with Retina Display at a very small number of Apple Retail stores." However, White believes the recently increased availability will lead to "a wider rollout in the U.S. and around the world over the next week."
Although the analyst had hoped that the device would be available in "mass volume" at the Apple Stores by the end of this week, he noted that Black Friday will prove to the most important day for the Retina iPad mini's availability. Black Friday is the first Friday following Thanksgiving Day and is the traditional start to the holiday shopping season.
White predicted that Apple will likely have the iPad mini with Retina display "available in mass" by Black Friday based on the increasing supplies he saw in Apple Stores in New York City. White reiterated a "Buy" rating and a $777 price target on Apple shares. Here's how Apple has traded so far today.

A Hungarian-based website is offering fake tickets to T In The Park 2009, organisers have said.
Tinthepark2009.com is currently selling day and weekend tickets to the festival, despite organisers confirming that it has been given no ticket allocation.
A spokesperson told BBC News that DF Concerts, which promotes T In The Park, will be taking legal action against the Hungarian website.
Organisers also revealed that councillors are due to hold a vote to decide whether to increase the capacity of T In The Park 2009 by 5,000, taking the total capacity to 85,000.


Mud, put simply, is the foundation of our existence. It is universal, apolitical, communal, essential, accessible, and ubiquitous.
Our planet is made up of it.
We have religious narratives about it.
All humans have some kind of connection/interaction with this substance and we are drawn to it. Because of the nature of the material, its ability to function in diverse ways, and our relationship with it, mud can act as an accessible metaphor for a diverse population.
Point # 1: Mud is a general term for a mixture of four substances: water, soil, silt, and clay. The ratio of these substances determines its name.
Point # 2: Human is a general term for a mixture of genetic material. The amounts of specific genes determine color, size, shape, and growth. Humans classify each other's names.
Point # 3: Mud is determined by water. Once the water evaporates, the mud turns back into a dry solid. That substance can either be reconstituted back into mud, or else it has been permanently altered. These shifts in state happen on large and small scales.
Point # 4: Mud exists within a paradox. Mud's actions are linear, cyclical, and parallel. Our personal mud is a descendant from our Father's mud. Our Father's mud exists as a descendant of his Father's mud. The actions of each generation's mud are a repetitive derivative of the previous mud. Multiple generations of the same mud may exist simultaneously.
Point # 5: Our mud consists of several bodies. Our bodies that were created by past mud, other mud bodies that we decide to surround ourselves with, and environmental mud bodies.
Point # 6: Mud bodies have varying levels of communication with their internal and external bodies. Our mud becomes altered by the external bodies through loss, communication, death, and transference.
Point # 8: Mud creates mud. We create new mud through organic and artificial means. New mud and labeled mud comforts us.
Point # 9: We pass down our made mud in the form of inheritance; mud traits, mud artifacts, and mud lessons.
Point # 10: Mud is mud no matter if it is concrete or clay.
*The origin of the Mud Campaign began as an extension of H Schenck's artistic practice and his creation of the Mud Manifesto. It has since grown into its own entity and purpose with the intention of allowing anyone to contribute and share in its success and responsibility.

Overview: Cannes Yachting Festival 2018 news

For six days a year, the quays of Vieux Port and Port Canto in Cannes, France are transformed into the bustling hub of the Cannes Yachting Festival, as both international and local yachting companies come together to present their complete offering. Photo: Julien Hubert / SuperYacht TimesCannes Yachting Festival 2018 continues to attract a large number of visitors, who come to visit 542 exhibitors, including leading yards such as the Ferretti Group, Sanlorenzo, Azimut /Benetti Group, Princess Yachts and Cantiere delle Marche. Running from the 11th of September to the 16th, this year's edition welcomes 638 boats, ranging from 2.4 metres to 50 metres in size, with 219 new boats being presented, including 122 world premieres. One of the most innovative world premieres to take place during Cannes Yachting Festival was the debut of the Silent 55, the first transatlantic solar-electric production catamaran. Developed by Silent-Yachts, the Silent 55 is powered by electric propulsion for minimal vibration, no noise or fumes. The Silent 55 can cruise efficiently for up to 100 miles a day for weeks without the need of fuel to power a generator, as it takes a holistic approach to energy usage. "The generator is only used to recharge the batteries in the rare case when a higher speed is required for longer periods of time or if the weather is bad for several days," said Michael Köhler, CEO of Silent-Yachts during a press conference at Cannes earlier this week. "Under normal, average holiday conditions, the boat is self-sufficient with unlimited range without burning fuel." Photo: Silent-YachtsThe solar-electric catamaran is available in several power configurations, with all versions relying mainly on solar power from 30 solar panels for propulsion and onboard power needs. The Silent 55 presented at Cannes is an 'E-power' version for example, with twin 135 kW motors and is able to reach up to 14 knots. The model is also available as a 'cruiser' version, with a pair of 30Kw motors, or a 'hybrid power' version with two 220 hp diesel engines and two 14 kW electric motors. There is also a 'sailor' version which can be equipped with all the aforementioned configurations and is rigged with a mast and sails to provide additional propulsion in fair winds. The Silent 55 is available in five different layouts, ranging from three to six staterooms, with three or four heads, although other layouts are available on request. "There is nothing on the market at this moment with lower maintenance costs," added Köhler. Photo: Gulf Cratf Inc.UAE-based shipyard Gulf Craft presented two new Majesty superyachts at Cannes Yachting Festival this week, the Majesty 125 Altavita and Majesty 100 Svetlana. During a press conference held on board of the 38.5-metre Altavita, recently appointed CEO Gregory Yeakle shared details concerning the yard's new three-point strategy to drive the company's growth forward, as well as plans for its first flagship megayacht - the Majesty 175. "We have a renewed focus on growth because if a business is not growing, it is declining," said Yeakle. The Majesty 175 is set to be the first world commercial yacht over 500GT made from GRP material in compliance with the LY3 Code, according to the yard. Developed in collaboration with naval architect Massimo Gregory, with interiors designed by Cristiani Gatti together with Gulf Craft Design Studio, the superyacht is set to launch by the second quarter next year. "We are redefining certifications and have the know-how to do so." Photo: Gulf Cratf Inc.In order to improve the growth of each of its brands, Gulf Craft is set to manage each as its own unit, with separate teams for each brand and individual business plans and growth objectives. The company also aims to implement a new design language concerning all its models across the range, beginning with the Nomad Yachts, Oryx, Silvercraft and Majesty Yachts. Gulf Craft also plans on investing in refreshing product lifecycle management within each of its brands to bring out new models at a faster pace in the future. Lastly, the yard will also begin nurturing and supporting its own talent by structuring itself as a 'learning organisation' to ensure it is able to attract and retain the best talent possible. "I firmly believe the future of any business is not driven by what you did yesterday but what you are doing today." Another yard to unveil its next step at the Cannes Yachting Festival was Dreamline Yachts. The yard announced the construction of a new production area, set to stand 4 thousand square metres, in order to manufacture fibreglass in-house during a press conference onboard of the Dreamline 35, the updated version of the Dreamline 34. Paolo Bencivenni, CEO of Dreamline Yachts, revealed the yard currently has eight yachts under construction after opening its eight thousand square metre shed in Fano two years ago. "This was a positive year for the company, above all for the excellent order portfolio. Since the foundation the shipyard can boast seven boats launched," said Bencivenni. Bencivenni also announced that Dreamline Yachts is set to expand its current range offering and will be introducing a new product line which will include smaller boat, starting from an entry level of 68 feet up to a fully custom yacht of 100 feet or more. At the same time, the company also aims to renew its image and is set to launch a rebranding scheme which is set to be revealed within the next few months. Another shipyard to debut new vessels at Cannes was Dominator, who revealed two new Ilumen 28M superyachts, Zalanka and Cadet V. Part of the yard's Ilumen series, the 27.35-metre Cadet V features an exterior design by AM Yacht Design and interiors by Luca Catino. Built to her owner's specific requirements, the superyacht features a full beam master cabin with two VIP cabins on the lower deck and two unique artwork from Stefano Curto, made from thousands of Swarovski crystals in the main saloon and master cabin. Although Zalanka was not physically present at Cannes Yachting Festival, her sister ship, Kalliente, was showcased and offered visitors the chance to see Dominator customisation options first hand. Photo: Dominator Yachts"An Ilumen is not off the rack, but made-to-measure and the product of our on-going commitment to technological research and development," said Angela Pernsteiner, CEO of Dominator Ilumen. "We collaborate with the best experts in their fields to ensure we are at the cutting edge of engineering and design so that we can offer yachts that are powerful, thrilling, beautiful and safe beyond what has previously been seen in this segment of the market." Photo: Dominator YachtsPolish shipyard Conrad also revealed the upgraded model of their custom superyacht Viatoris this week, the new 40-metre C133S model, following Viatoris world premiere at Cannes, which features a straight bow. Arcadia Yachts also marked the world debut of its A105 model, showcasing the recently delivered 31.5-metre RJ, and revealed work on the third hull has already begun as the fourth is in the lamination phase. In addition, Numarine marked the double debut of its 26XP and the 32XP explorer superyachts and confirmed plans to begin building larger explorer superyachts.

Q: Can you get a fair coin flip by rolling a fair, 5-sided die a finite number of times? Can you get a fair coin flip by rolling a fair, 5-sided die a finite number of times?

A: I think the subtlety here is that one can imagine all sorts of complicated criteria hidden inside the "finite" method.  But, however complex the method is, in the end it has to come down to looking at sequences.  To see this:
First, "finite" means that there is some (known) number $k$ such that the outcome, H or T, is guaranteed to be established in $k$ or fewer rolls.
Now, suppose the Devil assures us that he can do it, with some number of rolls $k$.  That means he guarantees the simulation of the fair coin in $k$ or fewer rolls, though naturally he declines to explain his method.  Take $5^k$ people and give them each a different sequence of $k$ die rolls.  Now, let the Devil call for rolls.  whenever the Devil calls for a new roll, each person just reveals the next element of their sequence.  In the end, whatever the Devil was doing, we'll see who among the people had H and who had T.  After that, I no longer care what the Devil's method was.  I don't need him any more, since I have every possible outcome (within the declared limits).  Thus, however complex your test was, in the end it has to come down to simply calling some sequences H and others T.  Alas, however, there are $5^k$ sequences, an odd number, all of which are equally probable so no subset of them has probability exactly $\frac 12$
Of course you can come arbitrarily close with high probability.  Indeed, this is true even for unfair coins.  If you want to simulate a coin that comes up H with probability $p$, write $p$ out as a "deci"-mal in base $5$.  Now start to roll your die, regarding the rolls as if they were entries in another base 5 decimal ("pentimal" sounds just awful).  If the decimal you create by rolling is less than the decimal for $p$ then record an H.  Otherwise, T.  Of course you might match exactly (probability $\frac {1}{5^k}$ if you roll $k$ times).  But as $k$ grows the probability of matching certainly does go to $0$ and the probability of getting H goes to $p$.

A: It's clear that there are multiple ways to interpret this question, and the answer depends upon the interpretation. I personally agree with @lulu, that if a finite threshold is picked prior to die rolls, it will be impossible to determine a 'Head' or 'Tail' outcome due to the odd number of possible arrangement of dice rolls.
If we are worried about finding a result within a finite number of trials which is unbounded, the below method will serve our purposes well. The reasoning for this being that while infinite $5$s in a row is theoretically possible, it has likelihood of zero. Further, the expectation of the number of dice rolls is also finite.

*

*Roll the die

*If the result is in $\{1,2\}$, call it 'Tails'
If the result is in $\{3,4\}$, call it 'Heads'

*If the result is $5$, reroll until you get something in $\{1,2,3,4\}$.

$$P\left(n\text{ '5's in a row}\right) = 5^{-n}$$
$$P\left(\text{Infinite '5's}\right) = \lim_{n\to\infty}5^{-n} = 0$$
The likelihood of the $k$th roll ending in a non-'$5$' is given by
$$f(k) = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{k-1}\cdot \frac45$$ and so the expected number of rolls before the sequence terminates is:
$$E[K] = \sum_{k=1}^\infty k\cdot f(k) =  \frac45\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} k\cdot\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{k-1} = \frac54$$

Q: Why my android activity is crashing with "No adapter attached; skipping layout" but sporadically? I'm working on an android application, that is a messaging application actually.
I'm using RecyclerView to render content of a particular conversation.
What I'm stuck with is, I have a fragment that takes input from user to create a new conversation, I use that information to launch an activity for that conversation, to update its layout, adapter for the RecyclerView etc.
I dismiss the fragment when user input is valid(not empty etc.), send a test message in the conversation and use the conversation identifier to start the conversation activity.
But I'm getting this NullPointerException that is related to the RecyclerView, the heading of the stack trace is :

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView$LayoutManager.onAddFocusables(android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView, java.util.ArrayList, int, int)' on a null object reference

Above this, I also get one saying No adapter attached; skipping layout.
I saw answers here on stackoverflow saying that, you should initiate an Adapter/LayoutManager first and then attach it to the RecyclerView, but I'm already doing it.
I'm writing snippets of my code here.

Interface method that gets invoked when user input is valid.

public void onCreateConversation(DialogFragment dialog, String conversationName) {

    dialog.dismiss();

    Conversation newConversation = client.newConversation(Arrays.asList(userList);
    String identifier = newConversation.getId().toString();

    // prepare initiation message
    String initialMessageText = "starting conversation";
    MessagePart initialMessagePart = client.newMessagePart("text/initiation", initialMessageText.getBytes());
    Message initialMessage = client.newMessage(Arrays.asList(initialMessagePart));

    // send initiation message
    newConversation.send(initialMessage);

    startConversationActivity(identifier);
}

Start an activity for the conversation

public void startConversationActivity(String identifier) {

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, ChatConversationActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("IDENTIFIER", identifier);

    startActivity(intent);
}

The onCreate method of ChatConversationActivity

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.loading_conversation);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    conversationIdentifier = intent.getStringExtra("IDENTIFIER");

    // argument 'client' is reference to the connection
    conversationViewControl = new ConversationViewController(this, client, conversationIdentifier);
}

In the constructor of ConversationViewController

public ConversationViewController(ChatConversationActivity activity, Client client, String identifier) {
    activity.setContentView(R.layout.activity_conversation);

    // messages recycler view
    messageRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) activity.findViewById(R.id.messageRecyclerView);

    // layout manager for recycler view
    recyclerViewLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(activity);

    // message adapter
    MessageAdapter = null;

    // private conversation object in ConversationViewController
    activeConversation = getConversation(identifier);

    // this will render the layout for conversation
    drawConversationView(activeConversation);
}

'getConversation' asks the service for conversation with an identifier

private Conversation getConversation(String identifier) {

    if(activeConversation == null) {
        Query query = Query.builder(Conversation.class)
                .predicate(new Predicate(Conversation.Property.ID, Predicate.Operator.EQUAL_TO, identifier))
                .build();

        List<Conversation> results = client.executeQuery(query, Query.ResultType.OBJECTS);
        if(results != null && results.size() > 0) {

            // loading first object as identifiers are unique for all conversations
            return results.get(0);
        }

    }

    return activeConversation;
}

'drawConversationView' will update the view for conversation

private void drawConversation(Conversation conversation) {

    // Only proceed if there is a valid conversation
    if(conversation != null) {
        Log.d("create conversation", "activeConversation is not null");

        // recycler view layout manager
        recyclerViewLayoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
        messageRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(recyclerViewLayoutManager);

        // messages for the conversation
        List<Message> messages = client.getMessages(conversation);

        // recycler view adapter, 'activity' is also private object
        messageAdapter = new MessageAdapter(messages, activity);
        messageRecyclerView.setAdapter(messageAdapter);
    } else {
        Log.d("create conversation", "activeConversation is still null");
    }
}

This thing is crashing randomly, sometimes the conversation gets created, I get to see the view of it, sometimes not.
I'm new in both Java and Android world, can you please help me track this?

A: I can see two unreasonable things in your code.

Attach the LayoutManager as soon as you collect a reference to RecyclerView

You can try attaching the LayoutManager to RecyclerView, in the ConversationViewController itself, before you make any attempt to collect your conversation data.
    ...
    // messages recycler view
    messageRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) mca.findViewById(R.id.messageRecyclerView);

    // layout manager for recycler view
    recyclerViewLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(mca);
    recyclerViewLayoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);

    // set this right here
    messageRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(recyclerViewLayoutManager);
    ...

This would probably save you from crashing.

Implement callbacks to make sure you render only when you have the data

In the ConversationViewController, you are calling getConversation and drawConversation methods one after another, but you are collecting some data in the first and using it in the second method.
You can try implementing an interface and use that to invoke the drawConversation from the method getConversation, once you have the conversation data, instead of calling them synchronously.
I hope this will help you here.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame said he died Friday night at his home in Nevada.
"Floyd Little was not only a Hall of Fame running back, he was a Hall of Fame person," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "Faith, family and football were the pillars of his life."
Little was a three-time All-American at Syracuse, where he wore No. 44 like Jim Brown and Ernie Davis before him. From 1964-66, he ran for 2,704 yards and 46 touchdowns.
Little was the sixth overall pick in the 1967 AFL-NFL draft. He played nine seasons in Denver, where he earned the nickname "The Franchise" because his signing was credited with keeping the team from relocating and helped persuade voters to approve funds for the old, iconic Mile High Stadium, which has since been replaced by Empower Field at Mile High.
"I know when I got there the talk was about the team moving to Chicago or Birmingham," Little told The Associated Press in an interview in 2009. "So, I supposedly saved the franchise."
Little was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
"Floyd Little was a true hero of the game," said David Baker, president and CEO of the pro hall. "He was a man of great integrity, passion and courage. His contributions off the field were even greater than his amazing accomplishments he did on it. Floyd's smile, heart and character epitomized what it meant to have a Hall of Fame life."
A high school star in Connecticut at New Haven's Hillhouse High, Little overlapped at Syracuse with U.S. President-elect Joe Biden, who said in a statement Saturday the pair had become friends and often spoke by phone after Orange football games.
"He was full of character, decency, and integrity," Biden said. "He was always gracious with his time with fans — parents and grandparents who wanted to introduce their children and grandchildren to a genuine role model."
Floyd's greatness transcended the football field, said former Broncos teammate Randy Gradishar.
"He was the strength and the roots of the Denver Broncos," said Gradishar, a linebacker on the "Orange Crush" defense whose career overlapped with Little's for two years. "He certainly wasn't the biggest, fastest or strongest guy that ever played NFL football, but he accomplished great things through his attitude. A really great football player but more than that, a great man."
Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis called Floyd "one of the greatest Broncos of all-time and an unforgettable part of our history."
"He rightfully earned the nickname 'The Franchise' for his profound impact on this organization, helping to put the Broncos on the pro football map in the early days. As the first Pro Football Hall of Famer to star for the Broncos, Floyd brought credibility to this team while becoming one of the most dominant players of his era," Ellis said. "Seeing him finally receive that gold jacket was the culmination of a tremendous lifetime in football.
"Even after his retirement, Floyd was a wonderful ambassador for the game and the Denver Broncos, carrying himself with warmth, kindness and class-always with humility and a smile," Ellis added. "In recent months, he faced his cancer diagnosis with the same grit and determination that defined his incredible playing career."
A five-time Pro Bowler, Little led the NFL in rushing in 1971 with 1,133 yards and in touchdown runs in 1973 with 12. He also was one of the league's best kick returners, leading the AFL in punt returns as a rookie in 1967.
During his nine-year pro career, Little rushed for 6,323 yards and 43 touchdowns and caught 215 passes for 2,418 yards and nine TDs. He had the most all-purpose yards in pro football and ranked second only to O.J. Simpson in yards rushing over his career.
After a three-decade wait, Little made it into Canton in 2010. He told the AP when he was nominated by the hall's senior committee that he had given up hope of ever making it into the Hall of Fame.
"I was running out of guys who had seen me play," said Little, whose career in Denver spanned the years 1967-75, lean times in the former AFL franchise's history. "The people that had seen me play were starting to fade off and retire. All these guys were no longer there, so who's going to talk about Floyd Little? Nobody. I thought I'd just fallen through the cracks never to be seen or heard from again."
He was never forgotten in Denver, where the late team owner Pat Bowlen once hailed Little's "immeasurable contributions to this franchise and the NFL."
During his long wait for enshrinement, Little said he was regularly approached by fans wanting him to settle a bet: Which year did he go into the Hall of Fame?
"And I have to tell them I'm not in the Hall of Fame and I've never even been nominated," Little said in the months before his selection on Feb. 6, 2010.
Little decided not to get his hopes up anymore and a few years later, the senior committee nominated him, allowing him to dream anew about football immortality.
Hall Vice President Joe Horrigan called him with the good news the day before New Orleans' 31-17 win over Indianapolis in the Super Bowl.
"I was numb," Little said. "I knew he wasn't calling to tell me I was passed over again."
Little said he learned a valuable lesson that day: "Well, you don't give up on your dreams," even if it's to assuage the pain of envisioned rejection.
Little, who had sold his car dealership in Seattle after 32 years not long before his nomination, returned to Syracuse the following year as a special assistant to the athletic director, a position he held until 2016, when he received an honorary doctorate degree from the university.
After that, Little and his wife moved to Las Vegas.
A former teammate of Little's at Syracuse, Pat Killorin, made Little's cancer diagnosis public in May 2020 when he created a GoFundMe page to help the family with treatment costs.
Floyd is survived by his wife DeBorah.

All the Governments are suffering from Hazardous waste like Rubber and Plastic. Earlier days Rubber and plastic waste were dumped in landfill. but we want to recycle these type of hazardous waste by economically viable way. We can recycle these waste by pyrolysis process. by this process we can get rid of these waste and can get high quality fuel oil and char. This process is called Ruber and plastic pyrolysis. Pyrolysis:- Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen (or any halogen). It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase, and is irreversible. Pyrolysis is a type of thermolysis, and is most commonly observed in organic materials exposed to high temperatures. It is one of the processes involved in charring wood, starting at 200–300 °C (390–570 °F).[1] It also occurs in fires where solid fuels are burning or when vegetation comes into contact with lava in volcanic eruptions. In general, pyrolysis of organic substances produces gas and liquid products and leaves a solid residue richer in carbon content, char. Extreme pyrolysis, which leaves mostly carbon as the residue, is called carbonization. Rubber and plastic Pyrolysis:- The pyrolysis method for recycling used tires is a technique which heats whole or shredded tires in a reactor vessel containing an oxygen-free atmosphere. In the reactor the rubber is softened after which the rubber polymers break down into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules eventually vaporize and exit from the reactor. These vapors can be burned directly to produce power or condensed into an oily type liquid, generally used as a fuel. Some molecules are too small to condense. They remain as a gas which can be burned as fuel. The minerals that were part of the tire, about 40% by weight, are removed as solid ashes. When performed properly, the tire pyrolysis process is a clean operation and produces little emissions or waste, however, concerns about air pollution due to incomplete combustion as is the case with tire fires have been documented.[17] The properties of the gas, liquid, and solid output are determined by the type of feed-stock used and the process conditions. For instance whole tires contain fibers and steel. Shredded tires have most of the steel and sometimes most of the fiber removed. Processes can be either batch or continuous. The energy required to drive the decomposition of the rubber include using directly fired fuel (like a gas oven), electrical induction (like an electrically heated oven) or by microwaves (like a microwave oven). Sometimes a catalyst is used to accelerate the decomposition. The choice of feed-stock and process can affect the value of the finished products. The historical issue of tire pyrolysis has been the solid mineral stream, which accounts for about 40% of the output. The steel can be removed from the solid stream with magnets for recycling. The remaining solid material, often referred to as "char", has had little or no value other than possibly as a low grade carbon fuel. Char is the destroyed remains of the original carbon black used to reinforce and provide abrasion resistance to the tire. The solid stream also includes the minerals used in rubber manufacturing. This high volume component of tire pyrolysis is a major impediment, although this theme continues to be a source of innovation.

Movie on domestic worker sheds light into their struggles
P06_MovieDomestic.jpg [3]
HONG KONG (SE): The Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong celebrated National Women's Month with the screening of Martika, a movie highlighting the struggles of both overseas workers and their employers on March 25.
The 60-minute feature film, directed by Wong Fei-pang, calls attention to Filipino domestic workers, whose presence may have been ignored but exposes that they matter to Hong Kong in more ways than is currently thought of.
Philippine consul general to Hong Kong, Antonio Morales, feels the film is realistic in that it shows the common feelings of both employees and employers, and the fact that overseas workers are also human beings with their own challenges and issues.
Martika tells the story of a foreign domestic worker who takes care of an old man with dementia and at the same time, deals with her boss' emotions.
Wong Fei-pang, who is best known for directing one of the five shorts in the award-winning film Ten Years released in 2015, made Martika for RTHK's Below the Lion Rock, a television series that explores different social issues in Hong Kong.
Wong said what inspired him to make a film looking into the relationship between old people and foreign domestic workers was the scene at an old people's home where he did a research on Alzheimer's disease among the elderly.
He could see that foreign domestic workers seemed to be the primary carers for some old people as well as people closest to them, even more than their children and other family members.
In the movie, Martika, played by Minpa Gervacio, faces the difficulty of taking care of a sick old man with dementia, who needs constant care to prevent accidents and at the same time, deals with her own family problems in the Philippines.
On the other hand, her employer, Alan, played by actor, Patrick Tang Kin-wang, also plays the role of a stressed-out son, who faces the burden of taking care of his grandpa and the disappearance of his mother, who is later found to have suffered from dementia as well.
According to Wong, the film conveys the message that everyone is in need of help, and we must be ready and willing to help one another. He compared people to "clay Buddhas," a Chinese idiom referring to those people who may be regarded as a source of help, but at the same time are really fragile and are in need of support.
For example, while employers heavily rely on foreign domestic workers to solve their problems, foreign domestic workers themselves are in dire straits and in need of help.
He reminded the foreign domestic workers present during the screening that no matter what happens, they must know that they are not alone.
Gervacio said the trials of her first job in Hong Kong helped her relate to the anxiety of Martika. She recalled that when she first came to Hong Kong eight years ago, she worked for a family of 12.
Due to lack of sleep and overwork, she became really weak. She later suffered from chicken pox and was sent to a boarding house to rest.
However, residents of the boarding house, afraid of becoming infected, kicked her out. She was left sleeping on the rooftop with her luggage.
The scars of chicken pox on her forehead now remind her that everything can be solved with prayers and confidence.
She is hopeful that the film will encourage employers to treat their workers with dignity, as a good employment relationship can help to nurture a happy home.
She is grateful to her employer, Sanders Ho Man-yan, who allowed her to take her days off to shoot the film. She said she maintains a good relationship with her employer that was built up with her hard work for the past five years.
During the sharing session, Lorna Pagaduan, an overseas worker with a nursing degree, said the film raised concerns about old people with dementia.
She believes more training on how to take care of such patients is needed for both foreign domestic workers as well as the family members, not just in Hong Kong but also back home in the Philippines.
She commented that people know little about dementia and old people with this illness can be regarded as insane, which is especially true in the provinces in the Philippines. She recounted the story of her own grandmother, who suffered from dementia, but family members did not have the patience or skills to take care of her.
She said it breaks her heart as she is taking care of an old person in a foreign land, while her own grandmother has no one to rely on.
