I was first introduced to the idea of joining The Thousand Network back more than two years ago. At that time is was still called Sandbox. I got intrigued by an email I got from Mia Jung, the Cph Hub ambassador at the time. We met for a breakfast meeting before work and after a few cups of coffee and a great chat I started to understand what is was all about. By now I must say I find it pretty fantastic to be a part of a group with over 1000 bright minds from all over the world and cross various industries. Likewise I'm honoured to help other members when I can.
The Thousand Network is a global community that works across sectors, borders and cultures and aims to help its members strive for their best potential. Our vision is to build a global community of exceptional, passionate pioneers who inspire and empower each other to create a better world.
Already now I've had some extraordinary experiences by being a part of this community and one more experience is coming up soon! Next week I will go to stockholm to spend a weekend with aprox 30 members from all over the world. Thats going to be pretty interesting ????
I will highly encourage you to find a network suitable for you. There you will experience to gain – by giving.
A few photos from the CPH retreat back in March 2014.


i really do think I should "exit" I can't do this pain.
took myself out today but it was a major struggle... sat crying in the middle of the high street..
thoughts that this is my last day.
It's most certainly ok to cry. Even if you are a guy.
Last year I was in a very similar situation. I was crying, all the time, and anything set me off. It was the worst when I went to work. I would show up and start crying on in the line (I worked in a kitchen) within minutes which led to uncontrollable sobbing and me having to leave work. This went on for months and eventually I lost my job over leaving early all the time, had a major breakdown, and attempted suicide. Obviously that didn't work out as planned.
I'm in a better spot now.
My point is simply that you are not alone. And things will get better. It certainly isn't easy, and there are always hard times. Please don't kill yourself. Try and come up with some goals that you would like to achieve. They don't have to be big goals, just small ones. It's something to look forward to.
I hope this post gets to you in time. Feel free to send me a message if you don't get enough responses on this thread or just need someone to talk to.

One False Move By Israel or Iran Will Lead to War
by Seth J. Frantzman
Written by Seth J. Frantzman
srael has been monitoring Iranian entrenchment in Syria, weapons transfers that move to Iraq and also to Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as Iranian-backed groups in Gaza. On November 12 Jerusalem put in motion operation 'Black Belt,' the attack on a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander named Bahaa Abu al-Ata. He was a "ticking bomb," Israel said after the operation, which led to 450 rockets being fired in retaliation from Gaza. There is another ticking bomb in Syria, where Israel struck numerous targets on November 20, a day after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired rockets at Israel. One false move by Israel or Iran now could lead to a major regional war. Jerusalem must gamble on its precision airstrikes to deter Tehran.
"The Iranian attack towards Israel is further clear proof of the purpose of the Iranian entrenchment in Syria, which threatens Israeli security, regional stability and the Syrian regime," Israel's IDF said on Wednesday, November 20. The airstrikes were a major attack on the IRGC's Quds Force, and also on Syrian air defense systems. Headquarters units, weapons warehouses, and bases were struck. Like in Gaza though, the airstrikes are not unique. Israel has carried out more than one thousand airstrikes in Syria. At the same time, Iran or Iranian-backed groups have sought to attack Israel with rockets and drones five times in the last two years. This includes a drone attack in February 2018, rockets fired in May 2018, a rocket in January 2019, rockets fired in September and on November 19.
Meanwhile in Gaza, the Iranian-backed PIJ has also been upping its rocket attacks. This included PIJ firing rockets in October 2018. It also involves both Hamas and PIJ firing more than 460 rockets in November 2018 and again in May 2019. Hamas and PIJ are both backed by Iran. PIJ has sophisticated rockets that can reach north of Tel Aviv and puts most Israeli large population centers at risk. It has a new rocket with a 300-kilogram warhead it revealed in the recent clashes.

Getting a domain is the first bold step anyone will take to establish their online presence.
Whether you are buying it for business or to serve as a window to reach out to the world for your cause, domain is what gives you a cyber presence.
Before we talk about how you can buy a domain, let me clarify a misconception about domain buying. In reality, you don't purchase a domain, no one does! What you do is register and rent it for a period, and you can keep it for life as long as you are up to date with your rental fee.
Therefore, every domain you see is registered by some individuals for personal or corporate need to host their websites. If you are looking for how to buy a domain name, there two possibilities involved; the first is to register a new domain and the second is to buy existing domain from the current owner and become the right owner of the domain. In this article, we will discuss the first option.
You need a name that perfectly describes the kind of business you do. It should be niche related so that customers can know what you do even before you explain how. Luckily for you, the new domain extensions give you the perfect room to get a memorable name with niche related extension that tells your prospects exactly what business you do. With such a domain name, head to a domain registrant to search and register your domain name.
You will need to check if your domain name is available with the domain registrar such as Shopify. If available, you should proceed to order the domain and pay the necessary fee to own it. If you did a good working choosing your domain name, you should have no problem with availability. In case your preferred name is not available using the traditional .com or .org domain extension, you can pick one of the new domain extensions. For instance, if you sell a car or you are in automobile service, you can pick a .cars domain extension to maintain the uniqueness of your domain name.
If you are lucky with a .com domain or the domain registrant offers you available domain extension similar to your preferred domain name, you can secure them by registering them along with your main domain. The advantage of registering alternate domain extensions is that when web searchers search for any of the domain extension, the internet will send them all to your website for more traffic. For instance, if you have food.com and the .net, .org, .info are available, registering them all open more opportunities for you to be found online.
After you order your domain, the payment processor will present an invoice for payment. You need to fill in your payment detail and authorize the payment which is usually a minimum of one year. You may increase the year for more discounts if your domain registrant offers such deal. After payment, it takes about 24 hours for your domain to be active.
After paying for your domain, you are now the bona fide owner of the domain for 12 months. You should know that you can keep your domain forever if you are up to date with domain fee payment. But failure to renew your domain rental fee will lead to losing your right to ownership.
How to find out where a domain name is registered?
How to determine when a domain was registered for the first time?


Failplans Stop Here – Part 2: Introducing Frobozz!
This is Part 2 of the "Failplans Stop Here" series.
As I mentioned in the introductory post, we are going to not only talk the talk in this series, we're going to walk-the-walk as well. Instead of regurgitating tomes of "best practices", we're going to create a fictitious company (no, it isn't WifiCat – lol) and build an elevator pitch, fast pitch deck, formal pitch deck, one-pager, and a full business plan around it.
Our fictitious company is named Frobozz, Inc. For you younger readers out there who may not be familiar with Frobozz, it is taken from the legendary Zork series of text adventures authored by Infocom back in the 1980s.
From Wikipedia: FrobozzCo International was a fictional monopolous conglomerate from the game. FrobozzCo products are littered throughout all Zork games, often with humorous effect.
Can't get any more fictitious than that. We'll stick with the fantasy theme and see where it goes. Of course, the last time I uttered those words, I ended up in a 5×5 Taiwanese jail cell with dressed only in a red shawl and clutching a half-eaten box of Raisinettes. Shudder.
At Frobozz, we have a pretty amazing product prototype – a smartphone app called The Clockwork Canary (TCC). Yes, another obscure Zork reference. Through the company's advanced research into all things magic, TCC provides a rather unique proximity-based, early-warning system to its owner. When someone matching the TCCs early warning criteria approaches you, you'll get an alert. The beautiful part, is that the profile can be configured for just about anything. We can detect people who are single and rich, brilliant thinkers, or time sinking losers. Think of the possibilities! The best part is, because it's based on proprietary magic, it requires no consent or participation of the third party. Ha! We'll deal with the privacy lawsuits later, after we're sufficiently rich.
The product is currently in a "campus beta" state, with 500 students at Georgia Tech. For the purpose of the beta, we have provided our users with a Canary Script that will detect people in close proximity who are single, of compatible sexual orientation, and have at least one hobby in common with the phone's owner. It isn't perfect yet, but we wanted to get a "minimal viable product" out the door and start getting some feedback so we can ramp up to a public release.
As you can imagine, the market for this fictitious technology is very broad, nebulous, and potentially incredibly lucrative. Think of all the possibilities for this thing (criminal or otherwise). I chose this by design, as, right or wrong, every entrepreneur views their deal in that way. So this is something we're going to have to deal with in our plan.
The original brains behind this fictitious product is a guy by the name of Thaddeus Kaine (@ThaddeusKaine). Thad's a good guy – really knows his stuff, if he were only real. He is currently a student down at Georgia Tech in the Computational Sorcery undergraduate program. Thad reached out to me a few months ago, thinking that I might be able to give him some feedback on his product. I was pretty blown away by the concept, and after seeing it in action firsthand, I agreed to work with him on refining the concept. Fast forward a bit, we're a team now, and I'm pretty excited about where this is going!
We wanted to have a cool logo, but it wasn't a priority until now, as we've been working on the product. Not being a graphic designer, I ended up bartering for it. Had a friend of mine do it in exchange for helping him move two Pianos. Sometimes, moving two insanely large and expensive wooden musical instruments that have completely weightless and free alternatives on an iPad is the price you pay to move your venture forward. Life's strange, sometimes.
Bartering is far and away the most popular technique in bootstrapping from nothing. Quid pro quo. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Master this, and you will already be ahead of 90% of other would-be entrepreneurs.
Stay tuned for part three of this series, where we'll start digging into creating our pitch.

A little over a year ago, I stumbled upon news I dreamed I would one day hear: Gilmore Girls is coming back. Our favorite dysfunctional family living in a cute, small town in Connecticut would once again grace our television screens. I found myself asking (several times) "Is this real life?" You bet it was.
It's hard to believe it's been an entire year since that incredible day. For 365(+) days, I have held on to the daydream of what this revival will bring. Are Luke and Lorelai actually married? Are they even together? Did Rory find success on the campaign trail with Barack Obama? Did she meet a new love? Did she ever rekindle with Jess? How is the Dragonfly Inn doing? Did Lane and Zach manage to make their relationship work while he was away on tour? Did Hep Alien get back together? How much influence did Mrs. Kim have on raising the twins? Did Sookie and Jackson have a boy or a girl? Is Kirk going to marry Lulu? Did April eventually go on a boat trip with Luke?
So. Many. Questions. And this Friday, they will finally be answered.
The last year has brought snippets of insight and information regarding what these four episodes will consist of, and I've been cautiously on board with all of it–well, with the exception of everything to do with the Life and Death Brigade (in case you were wondering, I am #TeamJess). And with the release of promotional posters, photos, interviews, and trailers, I am more than ready to embark on this journey.
I have been a fan of Gilmore Girls since I was ten years old. I can recall the very day I first tuned in to the show: my ten-year-old self was instructed to clean my mess-of-a closet, and so, to make the experience a more positive one, I turned my television to ABC Family. I think I was hoping to catch a Disney movie or something, but instead I got the good ol' Gilmores. Even fourteen years ago Gilmore Girls had a daily time slot on the channel, and I found myself tuning in to watch what would happen next as often as possible. This soon turned into a full blown obsession, and it wasn't long before I asked my mom to take me to Target so I could purchase the season one DVD.
Lorelai and Rory have been in my life through many milestones and other monumental moments. I went through puberty with them, battling hormones, heartbreak, and loss of friendships with the girls by my side. I felt an instant connection to Rory's scholarly side and she inspired many of my trips to Barnes N Noble when I wasn't sure which books to read next. Lorelai is the kind of parent I hope to one day be–should I choose to have children–and she taught me many pop cultures references I otherwise would have not been privy to. But I have them to thank for more than just my understanding of pop culture references–they've attributed to my wit, my tendency to talk a bit too fast, my affinity for scarves and snow, and my complete dependence on coffee.
More witty lines and pop culture references!
Are you a fan of the show? What are you most looking forward to with Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life? Let me know!
I am so excited for the show! I loved reading this post too! See you in the other side tomorrow!


Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to lose weight. Some want to lose weight to improve their physical appearance, while there are others who want to lose weight because their health is at risk, and they have no other option. Whatever your reason may be, there are things you can do that will aid in your weight loss efforts.
The key thing to remember with weight loss is that it is a mindset, and you have to be disciplined. You have to have it in your mind that you want to lose weight, and discipline yourself to take the necessary actions to accomplish your goal.
If your goal is to workout three to four times a week, then you have your mind set on doing that. The same applies with eating, and you have to eat a well-balanced diet. A well-balanced diet doesn't mean starving yourself; it simply means to consume different foods and liquids in healthy portions to achieve an overall healthy weight.
Some people have no problem losing weight, but for those that do have trouble losing weight, it's okay. Weight loss is not something that happens overnight; it is definitely a journey. So while you're on your journey to a healthier lifestyle, consider applying these weight loss tactics to your daily routine.
Exercise can be considered as any physical activity that elevates your heart rate. The best type of exercise that elevates your heart rate would be cardio. Doing cardio allows your body to burn calories and fat. When you burn calories, your body starts to sweat. When you sweat, you're releasing toxins out of your body, and aiding in water weight loss.
Sometimes exercising can feel like a huge inconvenience, but it truly is worth it in the long run. Exercising not only helps you lose weight, but it also boosts your mood and confidence… this is an added perk to carry along your journey. You'll build confidence in seeing results from your workouts, and this usually inspires you to continue to working out.
Rest is a huge part of weight loss. Rest is how your body recharges itself to get energy for another day, so without rest your body isn't able to perform to its highest potential. The average American does not get the required amount of sleep, and though there could be various reasons why you're not getting enough rest, taking action is key.
Purchase Room Darkening Curtains. Room darkening curtains are very helpful in getting a good night's rest. They keep any light from seeping into your bedroom. This type of curtains are especially helpful for those who work overnight shifts, and have to sleep during the day. They can darken a room in the daytime to make your body feel like it's night time.
Invest in Proper Bedding. Having the wrong type of bedding can be a major problem when trying to get proper sleep. Getting tangled in your top sheet, while your fitted sheet constantly pops off your mattress, causes you to wake up multiple times throughout the night. With a set of cozy, effortlessly cool bedding sheets you can achieve an absolute state of rest. So, before settling for the basics in bedding, reconsider, and invest in some luxury bedding to improve your rest.
Go to Bed at a Decent Hour. Staying up late is not going to help you sleep better. And yes everyone has busy lives, but you have to adjust your busy schedule to make time for sleep. Six to eight hours of sleep is a good normal range for rest. So if you know that you have to wake up at 7am, then you should be in relax mode by 7pm. You don't have to be sleep at 7pm, but you should be allowing your body to rest during that time.
Controlling your appetite can be pretty hard sometimes…it just depends on the food placed in front of you, but there are some tricks you can do to suppress your appetite that are very helpful.
To support weight loss, many people are turning to anorectics. Anorectics are appetite suppressants that can help you control your eating habits, so be sure to talk to your doctor or specialist and take as directed. An anorectic is meant to be used temporarily, so once you've hit your goal weight, consider using other ways to control your appetite and maintain your goal weight.
One trick people do is drink a full glass of water before every meal. This will give you a feeling of being full before you eat, which in turn, causes you to not eat as much. Increasing your protein intake can also have the same effect.

COSC BBA- DSST Principles of Supervision credits?
Does DSST Principles of Supervision meet any specific requirements for the COSC Bachelor of Business Administration degree, or does it only qualify as an elective credit?
I don't think this exam meets any specific requirements, so it would probably only be a lower level elective.

Do you by any chance know if the exams on the master exam list don't match any of the general education requirements or major requirements, would they definitely work as general electives? There are some exams like health and human development DSST that I wanna take but I just am not sure if I'll be given credit for it.
Yes, if you take an exam like the Health & Human Development DSST, you would get credit for this course at COSC, but it would only qualify as a free elective.

It took a 'virtual' telescope to actually picture a black hole
The accomplishment relied on a network of radio telescopes spanning the globe
A network of telescopes across the globe — including ALMA in Chile (partially shown here) — teamed up to create the Event Horizon Telescope. It's a virtual radio dish almost as big as Earth.
Carlos Padilla/AUI/NRAO
By Maria Temming
Black holes are camera shy. Their extreme gravity prevents light from escaping. That means that the dark hearts of these cosmic heavy hitters remain entirely invisible. However, supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies may give themselves away by spewing bright jets of charged particles. Others may be "seen" by the light of the nearby stars that they fling away or rip apart. Up close, these behemoths are surrounded by accretion disks — glowing disks made from the material being sucked into them.
Explainer: What are black holes?
Scientists have now cleverly created a network of eight radio telescopes. Working as one, they effectively make an Earth-sized eye on the sky. And they have just imaged the silhouette of a black hole's event horizon — the edge inside which nothing can be seen or escape. It can be seen against the black hole's accretion disk.
In April 2017, this so-called Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, collected data that have now yielded the first image of a supermassive black hole. It sits inside the galaxy M87.
"There is nothing better than having an image," says Avi Loeb. He's an astrophysicist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Though scientists have collected plenty of indirect evidence for black holes over the last half century, he notes that "seeing is believing."
Creating that first-ever portrait of a black hole was tricky, though. Black holes take up a minuscule sliver of sky. And they're so far away that the halo of light surrounding some of them appears very faint. The project of imaging M87's black hole required eight observatories across the globe. By working as one virtual radio dish, their vision would be sharper than that of any single observatory working on its own.
Putting the 'solution' in resolution
The supermassive black hole inside M87 is no small fry. It weighs in at around 6.5 billion times the mass of our sun. But viewed from 55 million light-years away, it appears as the smallest of blips in the sky. It's smaller than an orange on the moon as viewed by someone on Earth. Still, besides Sagittarius A* — the black hole at the center of our own galaxy — M87's black hole is the largest black hole silhouetted on the sky.
NRAO/AUI/NSF
Getting the first picture of a black hole required connecting pairs of radio telescopes spanning huge distances — almost the entire globe.
Only a telescope with EHT's resolution could pick out something so tiny. A telescope's resolution depends on its diameter: The bigger the dish, the clearer the view. So getting a crisp image of even a supermassive black hole needed a planet-sized radio dish.
"The trick is that you don't cover the entire Earth with an observatory," explains Loeb, who wasn't involved in EHT. Instead, astronomers combine radio waves seen by many telescopes at once. This makes the telescopes effectively work as one giant dish. The diameter of that virtual dish is equal to the length of the longest distance, or baseline, between two telescopes in the network. For the EHT in 2017, that was the distance from the South Pole to Spain.
Telescopes, assemble!
The EHT was not always the hotshot array that it is today. In 2009, a smaller network of just four observatories — in Arizona, California and Hawaii — imaged the base of one plasma jet spewing from the center of M87's black hole. But this small telescope network didn't yet have the magnifying power to reveal the black hole itself.
Over time, the EHT program recruited new radio observatories. By 2017, there were eight observing stations in North America, Hawaii, Europe, South America and at the South Pole. Among the newcomers was the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA. It is located on a high plateau in northern Chile. With a combined dish area larger than an American football field, ALMA collects far more radio waves than other observatories.
"ALMA changed everything," says Vincent Fish. He's an astronomer at MIT's Haystack Observatory in Westford, Mass. It can offer "really solid detections now," he says, of "anything that you were just barely struggling to detect before."
S. Guisard/ESO
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile is the Event Horizon Telescope's light-collecting MVP. Its 66 dishes cover a total combined area larger than an American football field.
More than the sum of their parts
EHT observing campaigns are best run within about 10 days in late March or early April. That's when the weather at every observatory promises to offer the clearest images of the sky. Researchers' biggest enemy is water in the atmosphere, such as rain or snow. It can muddle the millimeter-wavelength radio waves to which the EHT's telescopes are tuned.
Planning for weather on several continents can be a headache.
Geoffrey Bower works at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics in Hilo, Hawaii. "Every morning" during an EHT campaign, this astronomer notes, "there's a frenetic set of phone calls and analyses of weather data and telescope readiness." Afterward, "we make a go/no-go decision for the night's observing." Researchers are picky about conditions. But toward the tail end of the run, they'll take what they can get.
When the skies are clear enough to observe, researchers steer the network's telescopes at each EHT observatory toward the vicinity of a supermassive black hole. Then they begin collecting radio waves. M87's black hole and Sgr A* appear on the sky one at a time. Each one is just about to rise as the other sets. This allows the EHT to switch back and forth between observing its two targets over the course of a single multi-day campaign. All eight observatories can track Sgr A*. Because M87 is in the northern sky, it can't be seen by the South Pole station's sight.
Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STSCI), NASA
Bright jets of charged subatomic particles can be seen spewing here from M87's supermassive black hole. Those jets extend thousands of light-years (as seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image). Researchers hope the Event Horizon Telescope's observations will help uncover the origins of such cosmic light shows.
On their own, the data from each observing station look like nonsense. But taken together, these data can reveal a black hole's appearance.
Here's how it works. Picture a pair of radio dishes aimed at a single target. In this case, it's the ring-shaped silhouette of a black hole.
Radio waves emanating from each bit of that ring must travel slightly different paths to reach each telescope. These radio waves can interfere with each other. Some will reinforce one another. Others will sometimes cancel each other out. The pattern of waves seen by each telescope depends on how the radio waves from different parts of the ring are interacting when they reach that telescope.
For simple targets, such as individual stars, the radio waves picked up by just two telescopes can provide enough data for researchers to figure out how the light is distributed across the sky. But a black hole is a complex light source. There are too many possible solutions for what the image could be. So researchers need more data to work out how a black hole's radio waves are interacting.
The ideal array has as many baselines of different lengths and orientations as possible. Telescope pairs that are farther apart can turn up finer details. That's because there's a bigger difference between the pathways that radio waves take from the black hole to each telescope. EHT includes telescope pairs with both north-south and east-west orientations. And as Earth rotates, these change, relative to the black hole.
Pulling it all together
In order to braid together the observations from each observatory, researchers need to very precisely record the time they collect their data. So the astronomers use atomic clocks (ones that lose about one second every 100 million years).
There are a lot of data to time stamp. "In our last experiment, we recorded data at a rate of 64 gigabits per second." Explains Bower, that's "about 1,000 times [faster than] your home internet connection."
These data are then transferred to the MIT Haystack Observatory and the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany. There, the data are processed in a special kind of supercomputer. It's called a correlator.
Each telescope station amasses hundreds of terabytes of information during a single observing campaign. That's far too much to send over the internet. So the researchers use the next best option: snail mail. So far, there have been no major shipping mishaps. Still, Bower admits that mailing the disks is always a little nerve-wracking.
Although most of the EHT data reached Haystack and Max Planck within weeks of the 2017 observing campaign, there were no flights from South Pole until November.
Filling in the blanks
Combining the EHT data still isn't enough to render a crisp image of a supermassive black hole. If M87's black hole were a song, then imaging it the EHT data would be like listening to the piece played on a piano with a bunch of broken keys. The more working keys — or telescope baseline pairs — the easier it is to get the gist of the melody.
"Even if you have some broken keys, if you're playing all the rest of them correctly, you can figure out the tune," says Fish. "That's partly because we know what music sounds like," he notes. "The reason we can reconstruct images, even though we don't have 100 percent of the information, is because we know what images look like" in general.
There are math rules about how much randomness any given picture can contain — such as how bright it should be and how likely it is that neighboring pixels will look similar. Those basic guidelines can inform how computer software decides which data interpretations make the most sense.
Black holes and beyond
EHT's black hole observations are expected to help answer questions like how some supermassive black holes, including M87's, launch such bright plasma jets. Understanding how gas falls into and feeds black holes could also help solve the mystery of how some black holes grew so quickly in the early universe, Loeb says.
Explainer: What are gravitational waves?
Loeb says the EHT also could be used to find pairs of supermassive black holes orbiting one another. Two such relatively small black holes collided, creating the gravitational waves detected in 2015. Getting a census of such black-hole pairs may help researchers identify targets for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, or LISA. It's goal will be to search from space for gravitational waves kicked up by the movement of objects like black holes.
EHT has few viable targets other than supermassive black holes, says Daniel Marrone. He's an astrophysicist at the University of Arizona in Tucson. There are few other things in the universe that appear as tiny but bright as the space surrounding a supermassive black hole. "You have to be able to get enough light out of the really tiny patches of sky," explains Marrone. "In principle, we could be reading alien license plates or something," but they'd need to be super bright.
Too bad for alien seekers. Still, spying supermassive black holes is a pretty neat trick.
Aurore Simonnet/Sonoma State, MIT, Caltech, LIGO
Besides imaging solo supermassive black holes, the Event Horizon Telescope could also search for supermassive black-hole pairs. They could be targets for a space-based gravitational-wave observatory known as LISA, for Laser Interferometer Space Antenna.
alien A non-native organism. (in astronomy) Life on or from a distant world.
antenna (plural: antennae) In physics: Devices for picking up (receiving) electromagnetic energy.
array A broad and organized group of objects. Sometimes they are instruments placed in a systematic fashion to collect information in a coordinated way. Other times, an array can refer to things that are laid out or displayed in a way that can make a broad range of related things, such as colors, visible at once. The term can even apply to a range of options or choices.
astronomy The area of science that deals with celestial objects, space and the physical universe. People who work in this field are called astronomers.
astrophysics An area of astronomy that deals with understanding the physical nature of stars and other objects in space. People who work in this field are known as astrophysicists.
atmosphere The envelope of gases surrounding Earth or another planet.
atomic clock A timekeeping device that relies on the frequency of microwave emissions from excited atoms. For example, for the cesium atom that frequency is 9,192,631,770 hertz (or cycles/oscillations per second). Many common devices including cell phones, computers and GPS-satellite receivers rely on the high accuracy of atomic clocks to regularly reset their time (known as synchronization).
behemoth A term for anything that is amazingly big. The term comes from a monstrous animal described in the Bible's book of Job.
black hole A region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation (including light) can escape.
census An official count or survey of a population.
continent (in geology) The huge land masses that sit upon tectonic plates. In modern times, there are six established geologic continents: North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. In 2017, scientists also made the case for yet another: Zealandia.
cosmic An adjective that refers to the cosmos — the universe and everything within it.
data Facts and/or statistics collected together for analysis but not necessarily organized in a way that gives them meaning. For digital information (the type stored by computers), those data typically are numbers stored in a binary code, portrayed as strings of zeros and ones.
diameter The length of a straight line that runs through the center of a circle or spherical object, starting at the edge on one side and ending at the edge on the far side.
event horizon An imaginary sphere that surrounds a black hole. The more massive the black hole, the bigger the sphere. Anything that happens inside the event horizon is invisible, because gravity is so strong that under normal circumstances even light can't escape. But according to some theories of physics, in certain situations small amounts of radiation can escape.
football field The field on which athletes play American football. Owing to its size and familiarity, many people use this field as a measure of how big something is. A regulation field (including its end zones) runs 360 feet (almost 110 meters) long and 160 feet (almost 49 meters) wide.
galaxy A massive group of stars bound together by gravity. Galaxies, which each typically include between 10 million and 100 trillion stars, also include clouds of gas, dust and the remnants of exploded stars.
gravity The force that attracts anything with mass, or bulk, toward any other thing with mass. The more mass that something has, the greater its gravity.
laser A device that generates an intense beam of coherent light of a single color. Lasers are used in drilling and cutting, alignment and guidance, in data storage and in surgery.
light-year The distance light travels in one year, about 9.48 trillion kilometers (almost 6 trillion miles). To get some idea of this length, imagine a rope long enough to wrap around the Earth. It would be a little over 40,000 kilometers (24,900 miles) long. Lay it out straight. Now lay another 236 million more that are the same length, end-to-end, right after the first. The total distance they now span would equal one light-year.
mass A number that shows how much an object resists speeding up and slowing down — basically a measure of how much matter that object is made from.
moon The natural satellite of any planet.
nerve A long, delicate fiber that transmits signals across the body of an animal. An animal's backbone contains many nerves, some of which control the movement of its legs or fins, and some of which convey sensations such as hot, cold or pain.
network A group of interconnected people or things. (v.) The act of connecting with other people who work in a given area or do similar thing (such as artists, business leaders or medical-support groups), often by going to gatherings where such people would be expected, and then chatting them up. (n. networking)
observatory (in astronomy) The building or structure (such as a satellite) that houses one or more telescopes.
pixel Short for picture element. A tiny area of illumination on a computer screen, or a dot on a printed page, usually placed in an array to form a digital image. Photographs are made of thousands of pixels, each of different brightness and color, and each too small to be seen unless the image is magnified.
planet A celestial object that orbits a star, is big enough for gravity to have squashed it into a roundish ball and has cleared other objects out of the way in its orbital neighborhood.
plasma (in chemistry and physics) A gaseous state of matter in which electrons separate from the atom. A plasma includes both positively and negatively charged particles. (in medicine) The colorless fluid part of blood.
plateau A flat area of land, high above sea level. It's sometimes referred to as "tableland." Several of its edges tend to be steeply sloped (cliffs).
radio waves Waves in a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are a type that people now use for long-distance communication. Longer than the waves of visible light, radio waves are used to transmit radio and television signals. They also are used in radar.
resolution (in optics) A term having to do with the degree of clarity or detail with which some object can be seen. (v. resolve)
software The mathematical instructions that direct a computer's hardware, including its processor, to perform certain operations.
star The basic building block from which galaxies are made. Stars develop when gravity compacts clouds of gas. When they become dense enough to sustain nuclear-fusion reactions, stars will emit light and sometimes other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The sun is our closest star.
telescope Usually a light-collecting instrument that makes distant objects appear nearer through the use of lenses or a combination of curved mirrors and lenses. Some, however, collect radio emissions (energy from a different portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) through a network of antennas.
tune (in engineering) Adjust to the right level.
universe The entire cosmos: All things that exist throughout space and time. It has been expanding since its formation during an event known as the Big Bang, some 13.8 billion years ago (give or take a few hundred million years).
viable Able to live and survive. (in biology) Able to survive and/or live a normal lifespan. (in engineering) Something that should work or operate according to plan, as in a "viable concept."
virtual Being almost like something. An object or concept that is virtually real would be almost true or real — but not quite. The term often is used to refer to something that has been modeled — by or accomplished by — a computer using numbers, not by using real-world parts. So a virtual motor would be one that could be seen on a computer screen and tested by computer programming (but it wouldn't be a three-dimensional device made from metal).
wave A disturbance or variation that travels through space and matter in a regular, oscillating fashion.
wavelength The distance between one peak and the next in a series of waves, or the distance between one trough and the next. It's also one of the "yardsticks" used to measure radiation. Visible light — which, like all electromagnetic radiation, travels in waves — includes wavelengths between about 380 nanometers (violet) and about 740 nanometers (red). Radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light includes gamma rays, X-rays and ultraviolet light. Longer-wavelength radiation includes infrared light, microwaves and radio waves.

Q: How to use where clause in eloquent relationships in laravel I'm trying to access company variable in laravel eloquent relationship but i'm getting error undefined variable.
Controller
$assignedCases = AddressCaseAssign::with(['addresses' => function ($query) {
                                $query->where('company_id', '=',$request->company);

                            }])->where('user_id',$request->executive)
                            ->get();

Model
public function addresses(){
    return $this->belongsTo(Address::class,'address_id');
}

A: You need to pass $request in where clause using use keyword:
$assignedCases = AddressCaseAssign::with(['addresses' => function ($query) use ($request) {
                            $query->where('company_id', '=',$request->company);

                        }])->where('user_id',$request->executive)
                        ->get();

In Conversation with the Brother-Sister Team Behind Meet the Patels
Nimritta Parmar September 15, 2015
Meet the Patels follows the Patel family during their quest to find their son, Ravi, a wife.
Recently out of a serious (and secret) relationship kept under the parental radar, he finds himself once again in the dating world. However, things are different for Ravi now. Nearing the end of his twenties, Ravi is feeling the pressure to marry an Indian girl (a Patel, to be specific). So, Ravi does what any young person would do in this situation – he enlists the help of his mom and dad to arrange his marriage, and he gets his loving sister Geeta to film it!
We had the chance to sit down with the brother-sister duo to talk about arranged marriages, their parents, and what it was like to work on this project as a family.
This film is extremely relatable – I think many young South Asians at some point in their lives have had a relationship that they kept a secret from their parents, or marry someone they know will fit easily into their lives even if they are not in love. This story has been told so many times, and it never gets old, or loses its relevance. Why do you think that is?
Gita: Everyone has to find their voice, and it's never easy when your family has opinions! So I think it's a universal story that never gets old.
Ravi: Exactly. I mean, we all have mothers, right?
When making documentaries, you don't necessarily know how the film will end, or what will happen along the way. How did the process of the film go compared to how you thought it would?
Gita: The process of making this film was long, because we literally filmed everything!
Ravi: Yeah, we let the story tell itself, but we worked hard in editing to sew it all together as a romantic comedy, so we added all the fun stuff like animation, couples interviews, and cool music!
One great thing about this movie is that it provides a new perspective on arranged marriages – a practice so quickly deemed outdated and archaic by the rest of the world. Meet the Patels shows arranged marriages are not all "bad" by nature, and that they can come from good intentions. Was providing an alternative representation of arranged marriages something that was planned and something that you were conscious of during the making of this film?
Gita: Yes, it was absolutely planned! We felt like arranged marriages and Indian parents were depicted as caricatures in so much media. It was something to laugh about or be threatened by. This was not our experience, nor was it the experience of any of our friends. We wanted people to see how much respect and admiration we had for our parents and the process that led to their love. They are one of the happiest couples we know!
Ravi: Also, we see so much romance in arranged marriages and semi-arranged marriages. Our cousins who are our age and were born in the states, found Patel spouses, and they have amazing marriages.
Gita: And you know what, America has the highest divorce rate in history. The idea of marriage is in crisis. More and more people are single… so why not rethink the first-world process and take some tips from successful marriages from all backgrounds?
Ravi: I think in the Indian system, the emphasis is on compatibility. In the American system, it's more about chemistry these days. I learned so much from my parents about what really matters and what makes "love" really last.
You both talk about the differences in your experiences going into arranged dates. We get to hear a little about your own struggle with these dates, including the pressure that you feel to find a husband, get married, and start a family. How do you think your experiences have compared to Ravi's?
Gita: I went through a more intense version of what Ravi did. The other difference is that while Ravi could laugh about it, I was totally confused and scared I was going to make the wrong decision.
Ravi: Ok so we both had commitment problems.
Gita: Haha, yeah, I guess so! I can't speak for all women, but I personally was more concerned with pleasing my parents and also carrying on the Indian tradition. I wasn't a rebel, like Ravi. Also, being the first born in America, I felt really alone in how I felt– as if I was the only person I knew going through this struggle. Part of the reason I was interested in making this film was because I wanted to make something for anyone else who was going through this. I feel like it's really hard to explain ordinarily.
Ravi: Yes, that's what so many people tell us– That this film enters the arena of something so many of them are going through but is really hard to explain.
Films centered around Indian families often place parents into tropes – they're super traditional and super strict, and have thick accents that make everything sound funny. You haven't done that with your parents – their portrayals are well-rounded. We get to hear their thoughts, and where they are coming from. They are traditional enough that they want you both to have an arranged marriage, but they are also quite open-minded and express that in the end, they just want you to be happy. Did the two of you struggle at all with how your parents would be portrayed, or did things just fall into place naturally?
Ravi: Our number one goal in the story was that people come out of this film supporting Mom and Dad's point of view. So yes, we were obsessed with making sure the story helped people see our parents through our eyes.
Gita: We wanted people to really understand our parents, and understand the value of the way they think, and the system of matchmaking that brought them together… this is what drives the conflict in our real life story, and so it was important that we told the story with all the nuances that reflected the reality.
Ravi: This is why editing took so long. I mean, it took 6 years to make this film!
This film seems to be like a big, fun (mostly!) family project. What was it like making a film with your family? Any funny/silly/memorable moments that you would like to share?
Gita: It was fun, but Ravi was a pain to work with.
Ravi: Oh please. I should get an award just because I survived working with you.
What's one piece of advice that you two would give to people watching this movie who are in a similar situation as the one you experienced, Ravi?
Gita: If you feel someone you love doesn't understand who you are and you've tried to explain it to them, try again, and again. Be as honest as you can and give it time.
Ravi: And don't let your sister film you doing it!

Corie Mapp has described the climax to the Para Bobsleigh season as 'amazing' after he won World Championship silver at the weekend.
Mapp finished the showpiece event of the year in Lake Placid in second place behind Canada's Lonnie Bissonnette to better the bronze medal he won at the Worlds in St Moritz two seasons ago.
The 40-year-old former British Army Lance Corporal, who lost both legs when his military vehicle ran over an explosive device in Afghanistan in 2010, finished an impressive 0.86 seconds ahead of the Norwegian athlete in fourth to secure a third top-level medal of 2019.
The podium place in Placid capped a superb six weeks for Mapp after he won overall World Cup bronze and he is understandably delighted to end the campaign on back-to-back highs.
"I'm really happy I could do everyone proud," said Mapp, who made his international debut in January 2015 and was the overall World Cup Champion in 2017/18.
It feels really good to win silver at the World Championships. It's been a long, hard season and I'm happy to have worked my way to World Cup overall bronze and now this result.
Rather than taking a well-earned break when he's back in the UK, Mapp will soon be turning his attention to summer sports.
Having first represented GB at the Invictus Games in 2014 - a year after playing volleyball for his country at the European Championships - he now has sights on a spot in the team for The Hague in 2020.
"Next on the agenda will be trials and camps for the Invictus Games over the summer as I miss volleyball and other summer sports," added Mapp.
Para Bobsleigh suffered the disappointment of learning the sport wouldn't be included in the Beijing 2022 Paralympics last September but that hasn't dampened the dedication and enthusiasm of those involved.
Mapp puts in a huge amount of time and effort to be the best he can be for GB but he is quick to praise those who continue to help him along the way.
There are so many people who play their part and I'm very grateful to all of them.
"I'd like to thank the BBSA for helping me to compete with them and Ian and Graham Richardson for always being there for me during the season. Ian and Graham have guided me and advised me on all things bobsleigh and they allow me to vent when I feel frustrated!
"Lee Johnston and Lamin Deen have helped me with admin such as race registration and then sled maintenance and storage; Blesma, the Household Cavalry Foundation and H4H (Help for Heroes) have been a continuous financial support; IBSF coaches Sarah Monk and Bree Schaff have been a massive help during the season; and my strength and conditioning coaches, Anna Greco and David Long at CrossFit Cirencester, have played a big part, too.


Discover more about what assisted website migration is and just how you can make the most of it.
In case you decide that you'd like to change the business which is hosting your Internet sites, you'll have to relocate all the content to the servers of the new one, which may not be a very easy task if you don't have much experience or you just have no time to do it. If you have an HTML Internet site, it will not be difficult to migrate it as the migration is simply re-uploading all of the files to your new account, but if you have a script-driven Internet site and you need to move a database, then link the site to it, and in addition you'd like to migrate mailboxes that you have created for your domain, you might find the whole process difficult. To make things easier for you if you choose to get a hosting account from our company, we offer website migration as a free service with all of our web hosting plans, helping you save the time, cash and work that you shall otherwise need to spend to move the content yourself.
After you get your new cloud hosting account, you can get hold of our tech support team and arrange the migration of your websites, which normally does not take longer than 48 hours. The amount of websites that we're able to transfer for you is determined by the plan that you choose upon signup, but there is no plan in which this service is not available, so we'll be able to help you even if you have just one small site and you prefer that our seasoned staff executes the migration. The only two demands are the current web server to be running on Linux and the platform that you've employed to produce the website in the first place not to be a closed-source one like Jimdo or Wix as they do not grant access to the files. We shall relocate any type of Internet site irrespective of the hosting Control Panel which you currently work with and our offer is valid for both custom-made Internet sites and ones produced with famous script-driven applications such as Joomla or WordPress. The moment our support team transfers everything, they'll test out the websites as to ensure that they're functioning efficiently and shall then let you know that you can change the name servers of your domains and point them to our cloud platform.
If you wish to start using our web hosting services and you acquire a semi-dedicated server account, you are able to contact our support the instant your account is working and arrange the migration from your current Internet hosting company. The entire operation normally takes no more than 24-48 hours and once our technical support team sets everything up on our end, they'll test every single site to verify that everything is functioning correctly. You could then point your domains to our cloud web hosting platform and because the content shall be exactly the same on both ends, there will be practically zero downtime, hence the site visitors won't detect any service disruptions. You can take full advantage of our totally free service and save time and efforts even if you wish to relocate many websites and the only restriction is that they shouldn't be built with a closed site builder such as Yola, Wix or Jimdo since these platforms don't allow their users to access the files of the sites built on their end.
If you pick one of our VPS servers, we can start moving your sites the minute your account is set and you contact us. The process usually takes up to 48 hours depending on the amount and the size of the Internet sites which you wish to transfer to the VPS and this time includes not only relocating the content, but also testing it afterwards as to make certain that your info is undamaged and that your websites shall perform properly on our end. Our technical support can transfer any popular script application or custom Internet site so long as it can run on a Linux web server and if you're not using a service such as Weebly, Jimdo or Mr. Site because they don't provide access to the files of the sites designed on their platforms. Aside from that, our service is available for any hosting CP which you pick on our end or use with the other provider. We can easily save you the time and the efforts at no extra expense on top of the monthly virtual private server price and the work of your Internet sites shall practically not be disturbed because during the propagation of the new name servers that you set for the domains you want to host on the machine, you shall have the same content on both ends.
If you want to use one of our dedicated servers, we can migrate any kind of website, no matter if it's a community forum, a WordPress blog, an e-commerce portal or any other custom Internet site. We are unable to move only Internet sites designed with site builders like Wix, Yola or Jimdo as they do not grant access to the site files, so we can't get the content in any way. Any other website which can work on a Linux web server can be transferred within 2 days to your new dedicated server and not just will our technical support set everything up, but they will also test your website to make certain its proper functioning on our end. Due to the fact that our hosting servers are really powerful and can support lots of script applications running at the same time, there will not be any issue to transfer even a number of Internet sites and you won't have to pay anything on top of the dedicated server monthly fee. The moment our tech support is done with the migration, they shall let you know and you can update the name servers of all domains that you want to host on the server. During the propagation time, the websites will load either from your new account on our end or from the web servers of the old host, but because the content will be identical, the website visitors will not experience any downtime.
