Last week the Motivation Kenya team presented an update on the Ready, Willing and Able project to government officials and local project partners. It was an exciting moment to say thanks to those who have supported the initial stages of the project. Our project manager, Peter explains what we've done so far.
What is the Ready, Willing and Able project about?
Improving confidence and increasing access to employment for disabled adults in Kenya.
The project aims to improve the job seeking and keeping skills of 240 disabled people, increasing their likelihood of finding jobs. It will also educate 130 of their family members in disability rights and the ability of disabled people to work.
During this project, we want 13 businesses and employers to undertake an accessibility audit and receive inclusion training. This will mean they have the understanding and tools to make their workplace more inclusive.
We also want to help 106 wheelchair users to have increased skills, knowledge and confidence through Motivation peer training.
What has happened so far to set up the project?
First of all, we had to set up the project. We hired new project staff and procured project equipment, before signing initial agreements with funders and our project partners: the Kenyan Paraplegic Organization, the National Council for Persons with Disabilities and the United Disabled Persons of Kenya.
We've also done a baseline study - it's important to know what attitudes and experiences exist before we start so we can measure progress as we go. Individual interviews and a focus group were held with wheelchair users.
It was such an informative, inspirational and transformational session. It gave me clarity on the way forward. Please feel free to invite me to keep unlearning and learning.
We also held inclusion training for 10 trainers, a Motivation peer training session for 12 people with spinal injuries and spina bifida, and our first job seeking and keeping workshop for 13 job seekers.
What has been a highlight of the project so far?
One of the participants of our first job seeking and keeping workshop has been offered employment.
"The training built my confidence and helped me face the daily challenges of life… Being in the room was an eye opener. I was told a lot of things I never knew."
Nicholas is happy that he finally secured employment with a reputable communication company. He thanked the programme for supporting disabled people in Kenya on matters of building their confidence and removing barriers in accessing formal employment.
Ready, Willing and Able was funded with UK aid from the UK Government.

OSSINING, N.Y. -- The revitalization of the Village of Ossining was on full display at the Ossining Public Library.
Community Preservation Corporation, a non-profit that helps finance affordable housing projects, recently hosted its latest summit "Downtown Redevelopment Strategies" at the library. The summit featured local industry panelists analyzing downtown trends and Main Street redevelopment using Ossining as an example. CPC recently located its Hudson Valley offices to Ossining.
Village of Ossining Mayor Bill Hanauer, along with Ingrid Richards, manager of downtown and economic development of the village showed how Ossining has revitalized its downtown.
Richards said Ossining offers the highest return on investment in Westchester.
"We are focused on equitable community development and strive to create a sustainable foundation for retail business and a local marketplace," Richards said.
In recent years, the village has seen the development of Avalon Ossining, a luxury apartment complex and new mixed use development project at 147-155 Main St., a site that was destroyed by a fire. The village is hoping the Harbor Square mixed use waterfront project will open in spring 2016.
Officials at CPC said they have been pleased with the reception they have received since moving to the village.
"We have been overwhelmed by the warm welcoming from the village and the local community," Doug Olcott, senior vice president and director of CPC's Hudson Valley Region said. "The conference served as an ideal gateway to continue the conversation and meet new local partners who share the commitment to downtown revitalization."
Presentations at the summit included "Downtown Redevelopment Strategies and Opportunities," "Alternative Strategies for Main Street Revitalization" and "Tourism as a Local Economic Driver."

Anxiety is body's way of dealing with stressful situations, threatening conditions. It is like an automatic alarm clock that goes on when you deal with any of these situations.
In fact, anxiety can help you to react quickly, enhance your performance, make you commit fewer errors and motivate you to face ordeals. But when anxiety is overwhelming, it interferes with performance, activities, social interaction, makes you dysfunctional that is the time to seek help. This is when productive anxiety becomes an anxiety disorder.

Cognitive behaviour therapy was initiated to counter his symptoms, slowly he started showing improvement. He developed insight about his problems and was able to identify his irrational thinking pattern.

How to deal with a teenager with a drug abuse?
Till about few years back Indian teenagers were a naive lot, living in the shadow of their parents but with the advent of western culture our teenagers our exposed to some goods and bad equally.
In trying to look cool or under peer pressure our teens start experimenting with drug abuse and get trapped in the vicious cycle of addiction. It is difficult to identify these problems because of hormonal changes they are going through like they become moody, secretive, independent and do not want to be told what to do or not.

CSP Technologies, a leader in designing and producing packaging solutions that ensure product protection, enhance brand recognition and improve consumer experiences, is expanding its Auburn, Alabama, manufacturing and warehousing capacity by 110,000 square feet.
Construction of the new structure, located adjacent to the existing headquarters, is currently under way.
The expansion is necessary because of the recent growth in the areas of healthcare and food safety, and follows the commissioning of a new thermoforming line earlier in 2017.
The thermoforming operations will be the vehicle to deliver an upcoming portfolio of antimicrobial products for food safety.
During this same timeframe, the company added cleanroom manufacturing and high cavitation stack cube moulding with in-mould process capabilities to increase manufacturing efficiency at its plant in Neiderbronn-les-Bains, France.
Both the US and France operations will be ISO 13485:2016 certified for medical device manufacturing and assembly. The cleanroom installation also provides the necessary infrastructure as CSP prepares to manufacture dry powder inhalers and other medical devices in the near future.
During the last 3 years, CSP has greatly increased its global in-house design, engineering, material science and project management capabilities, providing a "one stop shop" from concept to commercialisation.
To its benefit, CSP Technologies has developed a built-in pipeline of excellent designers, engineers and scientists by partnering with both Georgia Tech and Auburn Universities. This strong relationship has fostered internships into full-time opportunities at all disciplines.
These additional resources have resulted in a variety of new projects now nearing commercialisation. The new infrastructure is anticipated to increase global production volume by as much as 25% in the areas of plastic processing – including injection moulding, thermoforming, and product assembly and filling.
"CSP Technologies is looking forward to expanding our global manufacturing and warehousing capacity with great pride, as it allows us to further broaden our portfolio of innovative products and packaging solutions, particularly to address recent growth in probiotics," said John Belfance, CEO of CSP Technologies.

The money from the state is the first of more than $1 million in grants the city has applied for to pay for the controversial project approved last month.
QUINCY — The state has awarded $400,000 to Quincy for improvements to Kincaide Park in a grant that officials said would help offset taxpayer's share of the $6.3 million project.
The money, awarded as part of $6 million in grants to 19 communities, is the first chunk out of about $1.4 million in grants the city has so far applied for to fund the project, which some city councilors have said is too expensive. Christopher Walker, chief of staff for Mayor Thomas Koch, has said he is confident the city can find grant money to pay for half of the project cost.
Quincy earned the maximum amount available to any individual municipality in the annual grant program. Walker said the city would apply for $400,000 again next year as work on the park, which has not yet begun, is expected to last about a year.
City councilors voted in a split decision last month to fully fund the project, which will transform the park between Lincoln Hancock Elementary and Sterling Middle School by renovating a soccer field, track facilities and basketball courts and adding new walking trails and a splash pad for children. Some councilors saw the project as too expensive and said they wanted to explore opportunities for grants before moving forward with a vote.
But in a controversial move, Ward 4 City Councilor Brian Palmucci invoked a seldom-used council rule to pull the project out of the council's finance committee, where councilors were still mulling outside funding options, and pushed for a vote at the council's Dec. 4 meeting. It was a tactic that irked some councilors.
Kincaide Park was previously awarded $1 million for improvements as part of a $27 million city parks bond approved in May 2017. It had the third-largest appropriation given to any of the 27 individual parks included in the bond. The Hancock Adams Common was first with $15.7 million, followed by Merrymount Park with $2.4 million.
Palmuci said the long-neglected park deserved more, noting that West Quincy is one of just two city neighborhoods that is considered economically disadvantaged by federal standards. He said its residents are often overlooked.
"We had waited long enough," Palmucci said at the Dec. 4 meeting.
Ward 3 Councilor Ian Cain, who chairs the finance committee, and Councilor-at-large Noel DiBona tried to cut down Palmucci's request, but their motion failed.
The council ultimately approved the additional $5.3 million appropriation 6-3. Cain, DiBona and Ward 2 City Councilor and council President Brad Croall voted against.


One of the key features of Motorola's upcoming Moto X smartphone is the ability to customize the device when ordering online using a service called Moto Maker. The AT&T exclusive (at least at launch) program allows buyers to select the main and accent colors of the chassis, a custom wallpaper, the color of the phone charger and up until now, even add a custom engraving on the rear of the device.
The feature was supposed to debut with the launch of the service on August 23 but those plans have now been scrapped. Motorola ultimately found that the quality of the engravings on early test runs wasn't up to par. As such, they've decided to delay the feature until it can be fixed.
In a statement on the issue, Motorola said they hope to be able to sort out the problem and offer the feature in the near future. An exact date, however, wasn't given.
It's really just a minor setback but it serves to highlight just how complicated it can be to offer a custom product on a large scale while keeping delivery times to a minimum. Motorola promises to get custom handset orders shipped and delivered to customers within four days which is pretty impressive given the number of different options available.
To help get the job done ASAP, Motorola had to hire thousands of workers to assemble devices at the company's Fort Worth, TX, manufacturing facility. They'll likely need even more help once orders are expanded to other carriers later this year and new building materials like wood are introduced.

Q: Adding code to random number generator to prevent duplicates I need to get code that will allow me to remove duplicates of numbers as I have a random number generator which generates number associated to the counter of an array, the array being a 'pack' of cards, so I can't really afford to change the code but I really need to stop duplicates appearing!
Other questions on here require me to change my whole code, which I can't do as it means I have to start over which I really don't have the time for at the moment as I need to begin testing in a week and I still have more code to implement!
    for (int v = 0; v < 30; v++)
    {
        Random rnd = new Random();
        rnd.nextInt(30);

        int i = rnd.nextInt(30);

        System.out.println(i + " " + aCards[i].getCard());
    }

This is what the code above produces, there are clearly duplicates within the list!

Purchase or sale of a business is a complicated process for which experienced legal counsel is essential. When representing clients in such transactions, we start the process by learning as much as possible about the buyers' objectives in the transaction to advise him or her on a comprehensive set of issues ranging from business matters and financial risks to legal hurdles. Our goal is to identify possible problems and put safeguards in place to prevent issues that may arise in the future, from negotiations and the due diligence phase to the final closing.
This is a form of a business sale where instead of purchasing the stock of the company, the buyer purchases specific assets of the company and assumes specific liabilities. There are a number of issues that can arise in such transactions such as inventory, accounts receivable and payable, condition of assets, and lease of premises that must be addressed in the agreement.
In a stock purchase of a business, the purchaser is buying the shares from the shareholders of the company. Purchasers generally prefer not to buy shares to minimize both tax and legal liability issues.
Purchasers will often require a provision in the purchase-sale agreement that prohibits the sellers from competing with the business after the sale. The duration and geographic limitation of such provisions are negotiated by the parties. Courts will require such provisions to be reasonable so to not impinge on commerce and trade.
Other important matters to consider include assignment of the business trade name, transfer of customer lists, training of new owners and staff, and introduction of new owners to important business contacts.
Given the complexity and scale of the issues involved in the sale of a business, it's critical for both purchasers and sellers to retain an attorney with knowledge and expertise in such matters to guide them through the process and safeguard their interests.

Here is something I didn't think to share with you all until today. I'm participating in the Home Spa Godess' Island Beauty Series. We have to share 7 products that we would want most if stranded on a deserted island. One of the products I mentioned was Aloe Vera Gel.
Now, why would I mention that? Many know that it's good for sunburn & other skin ailments. However, it is often used in some of our favorite everyday moisturizers as well & we probably never even think about that, yet Aloe Vera is an excellent moisturizer! If you'd like to read more about Aloe Vera's benefits for the skin, read this article. Have you ever thought of using just the gel, without all the other stuff?
I have. After suddenly remembering the healing properties of Aloe Vera, I figured I'd give it a shot. For years, I've had a problem with rough & dry patches on my face, not to mention my severely chapped hands. Since using Aloe Vera on my face & hands, the dry patches on my face have disappeared completely & they have not returned, plus my hands are much smoother. If you have dry skin & you've never used plain Aloe Vera gel as your regular moisturizer, I strongly urge you to try it!


HYANNIS – Discussions are underway for the potential re-location of water supply wells in the Hyannis Water System.
Barnstable Town Manager Mark Ells recently met with Cape Cod Commission Executive Director Paul Niedzwiecki and Barnstable County Administrator Jack Yunits to talk about a 250 acre parcel of state property that is northeast of the existing well fields.
"We really were just discussing the strategy behind getting the state to both talk with us about that parcel, but in a little broader sense to look at the permitting process that goes along with re-locating water supply wells," said Ells.
Two wells that supply water to the Hyannis area were shut down in May after its levels of PFOS contaminants were above EPA standards.
Treatment systems have been placed at three municipal wells to deal with the contamination.
The contamination is believed to have come from foam used at the county fire training academy. The town has filed a lawsuit against the county to recover about $2 million in costs associated with installing treatment systems.
The parcel of land that is being discussed is in Hyannis to the east of Independence Road and is U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service property.
Along with the proposed site off Independence Road, Ells said the town needs to start looking Barnstable-wide for future well sites.
Barnstable has also hooked up to and is getting water for Hyannis from Yarmouth and the Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills district.
COMM should be providing Hyannis water at cost. I'm not sure that is the case.

Only working intermittently whilst I am here and not in Oxford.
But I have settled on a track plan. Well I say settled it has been through about 40 revisions. I am using the freeware Xtrkcad, which is actually very good once you get up the learning curve.
The room is about 5.5M by 4M at maximum, but it has the boiler room taking out a corner of it, and it is also narrower at that end.
I have now built two of the trestles and have bought the wood for most of the rest, but not done much more, apart from succumbing to an occaisional shopaholic desire to purchase lovely models - mostly locomotives.
I have been thinking and experimenting with couplings a lot and more on that anon.

Released in the UK by the Ministry of Sound label, Empty Streets garnered a strong underground following, and has become a mainstay on dancefloors and airwaves around the world. Their sound is characterized by an immaculately crafted production style that rides between electronic and organic, tied together with the angelic vocal presence of front-woman Becky Jean Williams.
The group came into being in 2003 when Bjarnson, who had already worked with Kaskade, met Williams and the three of them began recording as Late Night Alumni. In 2004, the Hed Kandi label made an offer to release a full-length Late Night Alumni album. "At that point," Bjarnson says, "I knew the band was not ready. We were missing an element." The missing element turned out to be John Hancock, a talented local producer with whom Bjarnson had been trying to "find an excuse" to work with for years. The band was complete and began mixing electronic and organic elements for a unique brand of chill that is easily distinguishable in today's electronic music scene.
The band's first single, "Empty Streets" received massive support in both the clubs and on the radio getting Top Ten Radio Play in the UK and US, and reaching #1 in Spain. "Empty Streets" has also been licensed to commercials including a spot for the Toyota IQ. Plus, more than a dozen of the world's biggest dance compilations have licensed the track, and it remains the most popular and downloaded song on Tiesto's In Search Of Sunrise compilation.
Late Night Alumni's newest album Of Birds, Bees, Butterflies, etc. was recorded in various studios between Park City, Utah and San Francisco, California. The first two singles "You Can Be The One" and "Finally Found" feature remixes by top producers including Sultan & Ned Shepard, Max Vangelli and DJ Eco. A video for the single "Finally Found" is due for release later this month.
Late Night Alumni's Ryan Raddon (aka Kaskade) is also a world-renowned producer and DJ who has remixed such artists as Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Seal. Kaskade: "Contrary to what some bloggers might think, Late Night Alumni is not just me. But don't get me wrong… this is my band. But it's also Becky, John and Finn's band. Becky's voice is the reason we do what we do. Her style and character make Late Night Alumni possible."
Finally, four years later, Late Night Alumni is releasing its sophomore album Of Birds, Bees, Butterflies, etc., which picks up where Empty Streets left off. Signed to Ultra Records, Late Night Alumni is poised to get its music out to a larger audience and to reconnect with those who have already fallen in love with their ethereal brand of music.

If I believed
If I believed what I've been told
To say no grace every night I couldn't stay
Here alone
If I leave this place
Everything fades
What will my ghost embrace
Will my soul still fill a space
I walk the halls
Endless stairs
Here's where the floor starts to fade
With weakened knees I sway two ways and fall to the floor
Where I've prayed
It's not the same
I don't fall one way
One day my light laid wait
One night a nightfall sang
A fictional last few days
An epilogue ends and hangs

Peter Dinklage and Sacha Gervasi first announced plans to make My Dinner with Herve back in 2012 when it was revealed that they were writing a script. And now, HBO has released the first footage from the upcoming movie which premieres on Saturday, October 20th. Peter Dinklage plays Herve Villechaize, who was once known as the most famous dwarf in the world. Villechaize was a French actor who starred in Fantasy Island as Tattoo and in The Man With the Golden Gun as Nick Nack.
My Dinner with Herve takes place over one night in Los Angeles when Peter Dinklage's Hervé Villechaize is interviewed by struggling journalist Danny Tate, who is played in the film by Jamie Dornan. The movie is based off of an interview that director Sacha Gervasi conducted with Villechaize, which was the last interview that the late actor agreed to. Villechaize committed suicide shortly after his interview with Gervasi in 1993 and many believe that the interview was a suicide note from Villechaize.
Sacha Gervasi has gone to great lengths over the years to declare that Herve Villechaize was much more than a pop culture icon from the 1970s and 80s. The director has said that Villechaize was "one of the most charming, cultured, and dangerous people I've ever met." My Dinner with Herve is going to explore the depths of the man behind Tattoo and Nick Nack and try to put forth who he was in real-life. Peter Dinklage doesn't exactly look anything like Villechaize, but he has the acting chops to bring forth an excellent tribute to the late actor, which is evident in the 30-second teaser that HBO has just released.
In addition to Peter Dinklage and Jamie Dornan, My Dinner with Herve also stars Mireille Enos as Herve's longtime girlfriend, Kathy Self, Harriet Walter, Fiona Baskin, Oona Chaplin, Katie Nielson, David Strathairn, Marty Rothstein, and Andy Garcia as Ricardo Montalban, Villechaize's Fantasy Island co-star. In addition to directing the film, Sacha Gervasi also co-wrote the screenplay with Sean Macaulay. Dinklage also serves as a producer on the project along with Gervasi and Garrett Basch and David Ginsberg.
As previously noted, My Dinner with Herve has been in development for years. HBO is preparing to debut the movie on October 20th, so fans will finally get to see what Peter Dinklage and Sacha Gervasi have been working on for so long. The teaser video for the film packs a lot into 30 seconds and teases Herve Villechaize's "real story," through clips of the actor on Fantasy Island and The Man With the Golden Gun, as Villechaize is at the top of his game and then at the end of his life as he sits down for his interview with Danny Tate. You can watch the first footage for My Dinner with Herve below, thanks to the HBO YouTube channel.

Carl Becker
One of the greatest twentieth century American violin makers, Carl Becker was born in 1887 to a family of luthiers in Chicago, and joined the firm of Lyon & Healy in 1908, where he was taught by John Hornsteiner. In 1908 Hornsteiner established his own shop, where he was joined by Becker until 1923, when he moved again to join William Lewis & Sons, becoming the leading maker, restorer and expert with that company. His own instruments were made at his home in Pickerel, Wisconsin during the summer months. In 1949 he established his own business with his son Carl junior, and although Carl Becker senior died in 1975, Becker & Son remains one of the leading houses in America. His violins, violas and cellos have in common a consistently high quality of workmanship and finish, based on a close understanding of classical Italian work. He made beautiful oil varnish of various shades of deep orange and red-brown.

Q: Android OnClickListener not working with custom adapter I've made a custom adapter for a ListView in order to display a String and an ImageButton within the same row. A row is generated every time the add button is clicked. The string is taken from the EditText field, while the ImageButton bin_button is allocated dinamically. Everything works fine except I can't make the bin_buttons fire an OnClick event.
I've tried several solutions. Here bin_button_listener is generated outside the add_button OnClickListener and then set. I've also tried to set listeners with a new OnClickListener every time a new bin_button was created.
Here some code:
Row layout list_string_button_layout.xml:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/list_item_string"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingStart="8dp"
        android:paddingEnd="0dp"
        android:paddingTop="8dp"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>

<ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/delete_btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingTop="10dp"
        android:paddingEnd="5dp"
        android:background="#00ffffff"

        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    />

    });
}
}

A: first of all

*

*u should move your logic to onCreate() see: Difference between onCreate() and onStart()?
second

*

*u should in your method in adapter :
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    // 1. inflate view
    // 2. find button
    // 3. assign here listener to bin button

    //  i advice to use convert view pattern

}

some hints :

*

*create data object describing row item
public class BinRow {

     private String _someString;
     private Drawable _imageDrawable; //  (or resource id name)

     public String getString() {
          return _someString;
     }

     public Drawable getImage() {
          return _imageDrawable;
    }

     public BinRow(String someText, Drawable imageDrawable) {
        _someText = someText;
        _imageDrawable = imageDrawable;
     }

}

here u have adapter example ( u need adjust Album - to your BinRow & layout for row & convert view items in view holder )  - this should show you idea how adapter works :
public class AlbumAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements IListAdapter<Album> {

    private List<Album> _albums;
    private Context _context;
    private LayoutInflater _layoutInflater;

    static class ViewHolder {
        ImageView imageView;
        TextView albumName;

         public ViewHolder(View v) {
            imageView = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.image);
            albumName = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvAlbumName);
        }
    }

    public AlbumAdapter(List<Album> albums) {
        if(albums == null) {
           _albums = new ArrasyList<>();
        } else {
           _albums = albums;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
         return _albums.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Album getItem(int position) {
          return _albums.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
         return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {

        final Album album = getItem(position);

        if (_context == null) {
            _context = parent.getContext();
        }

        if (_layoutInflater == null) {
            _layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(_context);
        }

        View _view = convertView;

        ViewHolder viewHolder;

        if (_view == null) {
           _view = _layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.album_item_layout, parent, false);
            viewHolder = new ViewHolder(_view);
            _view.setTag(viewHolder);
        } else {
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) _view.getTag();
        }

        viewHolder.albumName.setText(album.getAlbumDescription());

        // here u can set:  image to image view & listener to image
        // image view could be a button
        viewHolder.imageView.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener);

        return _view;
     }

    @Override
    public void add(Album listElement) {
        _albums.add(listElement);
    }

    @Override
    public void addAll(List<Album> listOfElements) {
        _albums.addAll(listOfElements);
    }

    @Override
    public void clear() {
        _albums.clear();
    }

    @Override
    public void remove(Album listElement) {
        _albums.remove(listElement);
    }
}

public interface IListAdapter<T> {
    void add(T listElement);
    void addAll(List<T> listOfElements);
    void clear();
    void remove(T listElement);
}

Steven Markowitz (19 de agosto de 1988), más conocido por su nombre artístico Hoodie Allen, es un artista estadounidense de hip-hop y rap.

Inicios
Steven Markowitz nació en Georgia y creció en un hogar judío de Plainview, Long Island, junto a su hermano, Daniel. Comenzó a escribir canciones cuando era niño, y solía hacer actuaciones frente a sus amigos en las fiestas. Markowitz cursó sus estudios en la Escuela de Long Island en Huntington Station, y más tarde continuó estudiando en Plainview - Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School, donde jugaba al fútbol americano.

Mientras asistía a la Universidad de Pensilvania, se inscribió en la fraternidad Alpha Epsilon Pi y jugó en el equipo de fútbol. Después de graduarse en 2010 con una licenciatura en marketing y finanzas, trabajó en Google como asociado de AdWords en su programa estandarizado de AdWords Reseller Capacitación. Paralelamente, Steven se dedicaba a escribir canciones, responder mensajes de correo electrónico de sus seguidores y programar conciertos.

Tras reflexionar sobre esto, Hoodie Allen dijo: "Me estaba moviendo tan rápido, e incluso mientras estaba en Google había tantas cosas que pasaban a mi alrededor que me sentí como si estuviera haciendo dos trabajos a tiempo completo". Su sueño y su pasión era la música, así que cuando llegó la oportunidad de hacer conciertos en directo, decidió que tenía que abandonar Google.

Carrera
Las primeras publicaciones musicales de Hoodie, fueron "Bagels & Beats" y "Making Waves," las cuales le hicieron ganar un premio mtvU a la mejor Música en Campus de 2009. En junio de 2010, publicó "You Are Not a Robot," el cual alcanzó el número #1 en Hype Machine. Después la respuesta, el paso el verano trabajando, y terminó su mixtape Pep Rally en septiembre. El álbum fue producido por RJF, y contenía canciones de Death Cab for Cutie, Flight Facilities, y Two Door Cinema Club. Él eligió el nombre "Pep Rally" porque según él "capturaba la energía de la grabación. Algo nuevo y emocionante." Cuando le preguntaron acerca de su proceso para escribir, Hoodie dijo: "Durante Pep Rally, las ideas eran colaborativas. Nosotros acamparíamos en el sótano de RJF pon el fin de semana y no lo dejábamos hasta tener 3 canciones terminadas." El mixtape fue descargado aproximadamente

200,000 veces. El mismo financio el video "You Are Not A Robot," el cual tiene cerca de 6 millones de visitas.

En julio de 2011, Hoodie publicó su tercer mixtape, Leap Year, el cual también fue producido por su amigo RJF. Alcanzó 250,000 reproducciones en SoundCloud en su primera semana. El explica que el nombre "básicamente habla del salto de fe que yo tome al dejar todo atrás para ser un artista." Como apoyo al álbum, Hoodie presentó un tour de 15 ciudades por Norte América, incluyendo presentaciones en San Francisco, Nueva York, y Montreal. Anteriormente, él se había presentado con The Cataracs, Das Racist, Chiddy Bang, y RJD2.

Él también apareció en la serie universitaria humorística Jake and Amir como el maestro de rap del personaje Amir Blumenfeld.

También cabe destacar el uso de varias de sus canciones por FaZe clan, en vídeos como illcams 49, illcams 39, Go on Ramos 15... que han ayudado a su auge en la comunidad gamer a nivel internacional, llegando a hacer un breve comentario al final de illcams 39.

En 2017 su canción "Act My Age" del álbum "People Keep Talking" fue utilizada en el tercer tráiler para la película "Spider-Man: Homecoming"

Recepción

How The Cast Of 'Big Little Lies' Really Feels About Meryl Streep
Big Little Lies Season 2 is back for another drama filled episode this evening and we can hardly contain ourselves. The show, which follows five mothers in the charming city of Monterrey, California, has been an instant HBO hit since it's inception. With such an outstanding first season, many fans were apprehensive when HBO announced that it was coming back for a second season. However, most people's fears were assuaged when it was announced that Hollywood legend, Meryl Streep, would be joining the cast of season 2. But just how is the cast adjusting to Streep's involvement in the show, and how do they really feel about the A-List actress?
Citing Big Little Lies as "the best thing on television" the 70-year-old joined the cast without even reading a script. Her character of Mary Louise (which is actually Streep's legal name) has added a level of humor and horror to the show that we never could have fathomed. But how are the original stars of the show coping with her joining the project? It seems that they are all thrilled to have Streep on-board. All of the series regulars have gushed about Streep and the opportunity to work with a living legend. Let's take a look at some of the things they've said about the three-time Academy Award winner.
Though Resse Witherspoon and Streep may trade jabs onscreen, off-screen Witherspoon has nothing but kind things to say about Streep. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Witherspoon gushed about Streep's endless humility and amazing personality. Calling Streep a "legend", she admitted that she had to go into another room to calm herself down prior to shooting her first scene with Streep. Giving herself a much-needed pep talk, Witherspoon told herself this mantra, "Calm down. She's just a person. She's just a human being" before she was able to start filming.

Referring to Streep as "the queen" and "the great one", Kidman could hardly contain her excitement when she learned that Streep was joining the cast. She shared her joy with her fans on Instagram showing a picture of the pair embracing in a heart-wrenching scene from Season 2. Kidman told ET Online that Streep is completely dedicated to her craft. "She raises the bar. She loves to work. She shows up, she's ready, she's curious, she's so transparent in the sense that she brings the emotions and she brings this weight of her ability and also her life" Kidman gushed.

The youngest member of the main cast, Shailene Woodley views Streep as something of a superhero. She confessed that Streep not only knows her lines but every other person's lines in the script. She also went on Ellen and spoke about how working with Streep is an incredible learning opportunity for her. "So good. She's so good. It's like a master class in acting when you're working with her because you're trying to learn and be present at the same time" the 27-year-old admitted.
Big Little Lies might be the first time Laura Dern had the opportunity to work with Streep, but it certainly won't be the last time. The pair are both working on a new adaptation of Little Women and Dern has called the opportunity to work with Streep on multiple projects a dream come true. But despite her excitement, even she is not immune to getting a little bit star struck even though she's known Streep for a few years. "I never once felt intimidated until they called, "Action." And then I was like, 'Oh, wow, OK, that's Meryl Streep'" Dern recounted of her time filming with Streep.
Mary Louise seems fun. #BLL2

Zoe Kravitz, who is the star of the show who started her acting career most recently, is completely inspired by Streep's passion and commitment to acting. "Her love of storytelling and her love of the craft…it's inspiring to see someone who's been doing it for so long and so well still hungry to do more" Kravitz reflected on Streep, calling the experience to work with her even better than she could have imagined.
It seems that the cast of Big Little Lies Season 2 is as excited to have Streep on board as we are. Though we're sad that there probably won't be a third season to continue relishing in all of Streep's glory, we will certainly be soaking up all of her immense talents for the rest of season 2. One thing that's for sure is that Mary Louise is bound to shake things up and we certainly have not seen the last of her.
What you're feeling right now is called love. #BLL2

Readings for the feria
Readings for the memorial
These are the readings for the feria
Hebrews 4:12-16 ©
Let us be confident in approaching the throne of grace
The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely: it can slip through the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, or joints from the marrow; it can judge the secret emotions and thoughts. No created thing can hide from him; everything is uncovered and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account of ourselves.
Since in Jesus, the Son of God, we have the supreme high priest who has gone through to the highest heaven, we must never let go of the faith that we have professed. For it is not as if we had a high priest who was incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us; but we have one who has been tempted in every way that we are, though he is without sin. Let us be confident, then, in approaching the throne of grace, that we shall have mercy from him and find grace when we are in need of help.
Psalm 18(19):8-10,15 ©
Your words are spirit, Lord, and they are life.
it revives the soul.
The rule of the Lord is to be trusted,
it gives wisdom to the simple.
they gladden the heart.
The command of the Lord is clear,
it gives light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is holy,
abiding for ever.
The decrees of the Lord are truth
and all of them just.
May the spoken words of my mouth,
the thoughts of my heart,
win favour in your sight, O Lord,
my rescuer, my rock!
Ps118:36,29
Bend my heart to your will, O Lord,
and teach me your law.
Lk4:17
The Lord has sent me to bring the good news to the poor,
to proclaim liberty to captives.
Mark 2:13-17 ©
Your light must shine in the sight of men
Jesus went out to the shore of the lake; and all the people came to him, and he taught them. As he was walking on he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus, sitting by the customs house, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he got up and followed him.
When Jesus was at dinner in his house, a number of tax collectors and sinners were also sitting at the table with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many of them among his followers. When the scribes of the Pharisee party saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, 'Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?' When Jesus heard this he said to them, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick. I did not come to call the virtuous, but sinners.'

Genesis 12:1-4 ©
All the tribes of the earth shall bless themselves by you
The Lord said to Abram, 'Leave your country, your family and your father's house, for the land I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name so famous that it will be used as a blessing.
'I will bless those who bless you:
I will curse those who slight you.
All the tribes of the earth
shall bless themselves by you.'
So Abram went as the Lord told him.
Psalm 1:1-4,6 ©
His delight is the law of the Lord.
Happy the man who has placed his trust in the Lord.
The just will flourish like the palm-tree in the courts of our God.
Happy indeed is the man
who follows not the counsel of the wicked;
nor lingers in the way of sinners
nor sits in the company of scorners,
but whose delight is the law of the Lord
and who ponders his law day and night.
He is like a tree that is planted
beside the flowing waters,
that yields its fruit in due season
and whose leaves shall never fade;
and all that he does shall prosper.
Not so are the wicked, not so!
For they like winnowed chaff
shall be driven away by the wind:
for the Lord guards the way of the just
but the way of the wicked leads to doom.
Mt5:3
How happy are the poor in spirit:
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right:

Make your home in me, as I make mine in you,
says the Lord;
whoever remains in me bears fruit in plenty.
Remain in my love, says the Lord;
whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty.
Matthew 5:1-12a ©
How happy are the poor in spirit
Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up the hill. There he sat down and was joined by his disciples. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them:
'How happy are the poor in spirit;
Happy the gentle:
they shall have the earth for their heritage.
Happy those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Happy the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Happy the peacemakers:
they shall be called sons of God.
Happy those who are persecuted in the cause of right:
'Happy are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.'

It was such a great experience coming to BC and seeing all of the new faces this year. What great kids!
I'm very blessed to have this job! I get to travel, hang out with humble kids like your own, and take 1 or 2 photos. (actually more like 5,000 lol) The hardest part of my job is of course being away from my own family… Those few days go easy though with all of the great kids I got to work with! Thank you Parents for doing such a fantastic job of raising wonderful kids!
They are in 4×5, 8×10, 16×20 ratios… We do not sell prints for our groups through our online printers… Be sure to use the sizes mentions to reduce unwanted cropping.
We couldn't be happier with these photos! They are amazing! Thank you to you, your dancers, and of course the studio directors! – what a wonderful dance studio!
Most pictures are formatted in a 1×1 ratio. This means that both prints and canvases are for example 8×8, 10×10, 12×12 and so on.
Please tag us on Instagram and Facebook! We love to see your favorites! And a side not, we have seen much more response from when your dancers post photos individually rather than in groups. It prolongs the excitement! REMEMBER!!! Do not screen shot/capture the images, please download them to post and or print!

Fat's fatal link to prostate cancer
Finasteride study finds 80 percent increase in risk of aggressive prostate cancer in 'apple-shaped men' with family history of the disease
December 1, 2006 • By KRISTEN WOODWARD

Obesity is associated with an 80 percent increase in the risk of high-grade, aggressive prostate cancer, according to the largest and most comprehensive analysis to date on obesity and prostate-cancer risk.
Dr. Alan Kristal and colleagues in the Public Health Sciences Division conducted the analysis based on data from the nationwide Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial — a randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to look at the ability of the well-known baldness drug, finasteride, to prevent prostate cancer.
The study, published in the October issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, showed that among men who had a first-degree relative with prostate cancer, the distribution of body fat also contributed to increased prostate-cancer risk. Such "apple-shaped" men, who stored fat in the abdominal area, were found to have a nearly twofold increased risk of both low- and high-grade prostate cancer.
The researchers found an increased risk of low-grade prostate cancer among the tallest men in the study — a finding that confirms previous research. "The correlation between height and prostate cancer probably has to do with the role of steroid hormones such as testosterone and estrogen that regulate both prostate development and height," Kristal said.
Interestingly, the study also found that obesity is linked to an 18 percent reduced risk of low-grade, non-aggressive prostate cancer, which accounts for about 80 percent of all cases. "This difference in the effect of obesity on low- and high-grade cancer answers a perplexing enigma about prostate cancer," Kristal said. "It helps explain why obese men are more likely to die of prostate cancer, as they are much more likely to get the form of prostate cancer that is difficult to treat and is often fatal."
Factor inflammation, hormones
Researchers believe the mechanisms behind the link between obesity and the most aggressive, fatal form of prostate cancer involve both steroid hormones and systemic inflammation. "Obesity is a massive inflammatory condition," Kristal said. "It also increases levels of circulating estrogens and growth factors that promote cell growth." While previous studies have examined the link between obesity and prostate-cancer risk, the results have been inconsistent.
This National Cancer Institute-funded study involved more than 10,000 participants, approximately one-fifth of whom developed prostate cancer. Strengths of the study include the fact that all of the men were screened for prostate cancer based on PSA level, digital-rectal exam and biopsy. In addition, a central pathology laboratory conducted all of the tissue analysis to ensure consistent interpretation of cancer grade. Trained staff collected measurements such as height and weight as opposed to relying on participants' self-reports.

Top 6 Chinese Documentaries to Make Parent-Child Time Fulfilling
During the process of your child learning Chinese, do you have struggles such as: your child finds it so boring to learn Chinese in a regular way and tries to quit the lesson halfway through? Are there conflicts and misunderstandings between the two of you when you ask your child to learn Chinese? These difficulties encountered in Chinese learning are actually very easy to solve. Today, I will recommend 6 documentaries that are most popular with parents in China. Add them to your list so you can learn Chinese as well as enjoy wonderful and fulfilling parent-child time by watching them.
1. Rén shēng dìyīcì
《 人 生 第一次》– The Firsts in Life
All of us have lots of firsts in our lives. "The Firsts in Life" captures twelve life nodes that are significant to Chinese people. They take us through different stages of life such as birth, schooling, starting a family, establishing a career, and retirement. They are spatially distributed in different life scenes, such as hospitals, schools, the military, real estate agencies, villages, factories, and senior colleges. At the beginning of each episode, a "storyteller" who echoes the core of the story is invited to introduce the main film as well as provide voiceover and emotional interpretation of the narration.
2. Chǒngwù yīyuàn
《 宠物 医院 2》– Animal Hospital 2
Does anyone not like cute animals? The answer is absolutely "no"! Through the three dimensions of pets, doctors and owners, the program shows the real human-pet relationship. It conveys the concept of scientific pet care, emphasizes the life theme of always accompanying and growing together with them, and the stories about love will once again infiltrate people's hearts. "Pets are animals endowed with love". Through the special perspective of pet medical care, the director penetrates the emotional relationship between human and pet, conveys the concept of scientific pet raising and caring for animals, and reveals the importance of mutual companionship and common growth between human and pet.
3. Rúguō guóbǎo huì shuōhuà
《 如果 国宝 会 说话》– Every Treasure Tells a Story
Season 1 of "Every Treasure Tells a Story" presents mostly pottery and bronzes from the ancient period, while the season 2 focuses on artifacts from the Spring and Autumn Warring States and Qin and Han civilizations. In the third season, the historical scope of the program spans from the Wei, Jin and North and South Dynasties to the Sui and Tang periods. Covering a wide range of categories such as calligraphy, painting and frescoes, it shows the skills, aesthetics, culture and lifestyle of that era in a multi-dimensional way.
4. Xiǎo xiǎo shàonián
《 小 小 少年》– Little Giants
This documentary is about a group of talented children. The children include a girl who dances ballet in a pork store, a teenage group obsessed with robotics, a boy addicted to the world of insects, a teenage races who uses a motorcycle to stage "The Fast and the Furious", a legendary youngster who gave up the table tennis industry after he had reached the top eight in the country and then decided to join the e-sports circle, and a 9-year-old boy who values music as much as his life. They can perceive their hobbies at a young age and are willing to devote their time and effort for their passion. Even in the midst of discrimination and disbelief, they can keep on moving forward.
5. Háng pāi zhōngguó
《 航 拍 中国》– Aerial China
Aerial China selected Xinjiang, Hainan, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Yunnan, Anhui, Guizhou, Shandong, Tianjin, Shanxi, Jilin, Hunan, Hebei, Ningxia, and more. The provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions show the completely different topography, climate environment, and natural ecology in different parts of China. They overlook China from an aerial perspective, and display Chinese history, culture, geographical features and social forms in a three-dimensional manner, which lets the audience see a beautiful, ecological and civilized China in a new perspective.
6. Wǒ zaì gùgōng xīu wénwú
《 我 在 故宫 修 文物》– Masters in the Forbidden City
Episode 1 tells the story of restoration of bronzes, court clocks and ceramics. Episode 2 is a story of restoration of wood, lacquer, Baibao inlay and embroidery, and episode 3 is the restoration, copying and printing of paintings and calligraphy. For the first time, the film fully presents the world-class restoration process and technology of Chinese cultural relics, showing the original state and collection state of the cultural relics. The first close-up display of the inner world and daily life of cultural relics restoration experts is shown, through the interaction of "temples" and "jiang-hu" in the field of cultural relic restoration. It shows the inheritance code of the only "workers" in the four traditional Chinese strata "scholars, farmers, worker and merchant" that have an orderly inheritance, as well as their beliefs and change.

Q: Dealing with an integral: can we go any farther? I meet an integral, but it is beyond my ability.
$$
{\rm I}\left(a\right)
=
\int_{a}^{1}{\arcsin\left(\,\sqrt{\,{1 - x^{2} \over 1 - a^{2}}\,}\,\right)
\over x + 1}\,{\rm d}x, 0\le a <1.
$$
I can work it out when $a = 0$, but failed otherwise. I don't intend to find a closed-form  currently, an approximation expression will be OK. Any Suggestion?

A:
For $0\le a<1$,
  $$\small{\mathcal{I}{\left(a\right)}:=\int_{a}^{1}\frac{\arcsin{\left(\sqrt{\frac{1-x^2}{1-a^2}}\right)}}{x+1}\,\mathrm{d}x=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi\left(1-a^2\right)}{16}\,{_4F_3}{\left(1,1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2,2;1-a^2\right)}.}$$

Proof:
Let $a\in\mathbb{R}\land0\le a<1$, and for each such $a$ define $a^{\prime}:=\sqrt{1-a^2}$ to be the complement of $a$. Changing variables in the integral so that the argument of the arcsine function is as simple as possible, we arrive at in integral that starts to more closely resemble an elliptic integral.
$$\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}{\left(a\right)}
&=\int_{a}^{1}\frac{\arcsin{\left(\sqrt{\frac{1-x^2}{1-a^2}}\right)}}{x+1}\,\mathrm{d}x\\
&=\int_{1}^{0}\frac{\arcsin{\left(y\right)}}{1+\sqrt{1-\left(1-a^2\right)y^2}}\cdot\frac{-\left(1-a^2\right)y}{\sqrt{1-\left(1-a^2\right)y^2}}\,\mathrm{d}y;~~~\small{\left[\sqrt{\frac{1-x^2}{1-a^2}}=y\right]}\\
&=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\arcsin{\left(y\right)}}{1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}}\cdot\frac{a^{\prime\,2}y}{\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}}\,\mathrm{d}y\\
&=\int_{0}^{1}\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}}{y\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}}\right)\arcsin{\left(y\right)}\,\mathrm{d}y.\\
\end{align}$$
Integrating by parts next,
$$\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}{\left(a\right)}
&=\int_{0}^{1}\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}}{y\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}}\right)\arcsin{\left(y\right)}\,\mathrm{d}y\\
&=\left[-\arcsin{\left(y\right)}\,\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}\right)}\right]_{0}^{1}+\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}\right)}}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\,\mathrm{d}y\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}}\right)}+\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}\right)}}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\,\mathrm{d}y\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(1+a\right)}+\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}\right)}}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\,\mathrm{d}y.\\
\end{align}$$
Using trigonometric substitution,
$$\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}{\left(a\right)}
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(1+a\right)}+\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}\sin^2{\left(\theta\right)}}\right)}\,\mathrm{d}\theta;~~~\small{\left[y=\sin{\theta}\right]}.\\
\end{align}$$
At this point I recognized the integral as essentially equivalent to this one. It seems that the best one can hope for is a closed form in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. The closed form in terms of hypergeometric functions can be found via differentiating under the integral sign. Define the function $\mathcal{J}{\left(\alpha\right)}$ for $0<\alpha\le1$ as
$$\mathcal{J}{\left(\alpha\right)}:=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-\alpha^2y^2}\right)}}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\,\mathrm{d}y.$$
Then,
$$\begin{align}
\mathcal{J}{\left(a^{\prime}\right)}
&=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-a^{\prime\,2}y^2}\right)}}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\,\mathrm{d}y\\
&=\mathcal{J}{\left(0\right)}+\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\frac{\partial}{\partial\alpha}\int_{0}^{1}\mathrm{d}y\,\frac{\ln{\left(1+\sqrt{1-\alpha^2y^2}\right)}}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\\

&=\frac{\pi}{2}\ln{(2)}+\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\frac{1}{\alpha}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}-K{\left(\alpha\right)}\right],\\
\end{align}$$
where $K{\left(k\right)}$ is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind, defined here with the argument convention,
$$K{\left(k\right)}:=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\sqrt{1-t^2}\sqrt{1-k^2t^2}};~~~\small{\left[0<k^2<1\right]}.$$
In terms of hypergeometric functions, the complete elliptic integral of the first kind may be written (see eq.3 here) as
$$K{\left(k\right)}=\frac{\pi}{2}\,{_2F_1}{\left(\frac12,\frac12;1;k^2\right)}.$$
Thus,
$$\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}{\left(a\right)}
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(1+a\right)}+\mathcal{J}{\left(a^{\prime}\right)}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(1+a\right)}+\frac{\pi}{2}\ln{(2)}+\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\frac{\left[\frac{\pi}{2}-K{\left(\alpha\right)}\right]}{\alpha}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}+\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\frac{\left[\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\pi}{2}\,{_2F_1}{\left(\frac12,\frac12;1;\alpha^2\right)}\right]}{\alpha}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\frac{\left[{_2F_1}{\left(\frac12,\frac12;1;\alpha^2\right)}-1\right]}{\alpha}.\\
\end{align}$$
The following reduction identity will be useful:
$${_3F_2}{\left(1,b,c;2,d;z\right)}=\frac{d-1}{\left(b-1\right)\left(c-1\right)z}\left[{_2F_1}{\left(b-1,c-1;d-1;z\right)}-1\right].$$
Setting $b=c=\frac32\land d=2\land z=\alpha^2$ yields
$${_3F_2}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2;\alpha^2\right)}=\frac{4}{\alpha^2}\left[{_2F_1}{\left(\frac12,\frac12;1;\alpha^2\right)}-1\right].$$
Thus,
$$\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}{\left(a\right)}
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\frac{\left[{_2F_1}{\left(\frac12,\frac12;1;\alpha^2\right)}-1\right]}{\alpha}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\frac{\alpha}{4}\,{_3F_2}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2;\alpha^2\right)}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi}{8}\int_{0}^{a^{\prime}}\mathrm{d}\alpha\,\alpha\,{_3F_2}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2;\alpha^2\right)}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi\,a^{\prime\,2}}{8}\int_{0}^{1}\mathrm{d}u\,u\,{_3F_2}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2;a^{\prime\,2}u^2\right)};~~~\small{\left[\frac{\alpha}{a^{\prime}}=u\right]}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi\,a^{\prime\,2}}{16}\int_{0}^{1}\mathrm{d}t\,{_3F_2}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2;a^{\prime\,2}t\right)};~~~\small{\left[u^2=t\right]}.\\
\end{align}$$
For $\Re{\left(r\right)}>\Re{\left(d\right)}>0$, we have the integral representation,
$${_4F_3}{\left(a,b,c,d;p,q,r;z\right)}=\frac{\Gamma{\left(r\right)}}{\Gamma{\left(d\right)}\,\Gamma{\left(r-d\right)}}\int_{0}^{1}\mathrm{d}t\,t^{d-1}\left(1-t\right)^{r-d-1}\,{_3F_2}{\left(a,b,c;p,q;zt\right)}.$$
Setting $d=1\land r=2$, we then have the integral representation,
$${_4F_3}{\left(a,b,c,1;p,q,2;z\right)}=\int_{0}^{1}\mathrm{d}t\,{_3F_2}{\left(a,b,c;p,q;zt\right)}.$$
Finally,
$$\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}{\left(a\right)}
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi\,a^{\prime\,2}}{16}\int_{0}^{1}\mathrm{d}t\,{_3F_2}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2;a^{\prime\,2}t\right)}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi\,a^{\prime\,2}}{16}\,{_4F_3}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32,1;2,2,2;a^{\prime\,2}\right)}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi\left(1-a^2\right)}{16}\,{_4F_3}{\left(1,\frac32,\frac32,1;2,2,2;1-a^2\right)}\\
&=-\frac{\pi}{2}\,\ln{\left(\frac{1+a}{2}\right)}-\frac{\pi\left(1-a^2\right)}{16}\,{_4F_3}{\left(1,1,\frac32,\frac32;2,2,2;1-a^2\right)}.\\
