Q: Is there any other functions for excel Vlookup with different column index depend on referenced cell value? I want to use Vlookup function to depend on a referenced cell value. Please look at my equation.
=IF(G2=1,VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,2,FALSE),IF(G2=2,VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,3,FALSE),IF(G2=3,VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,4,FALSE),IF(G2=4,VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,5,FALSE),IF(G2=5,VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,6,FALSE),IF(G2=6,VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,7,FALSE),IF(G2=7,VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,8,FALSE))))))))

Here, all vlookup function calls depend on cell G2 value. Depend on its value, Column index for each function will be varied.But I want to use more advance or more compact function for that. I don't wan't to use macro. Can anyone please give me a piece of advice?

A: If your ifs are only 7, you can create a helping array that will match the values you need with your ifs. What I mean is that if you need for g2=1 to get 2, g2=2 to get 3 and so on, you can create as a first step an array with the numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (we will cal this array "A1:A8").
Then in your VLOOKUP you can use the MATCH function:
=VLOOKUP(A9,Pipe_Size_Chart,MATCH(G2,A1:A8,0),FALSE)
The MATCH function will return the relative position of your lookup value, that I guess is in cell G2, inside this array we created and this will be your index column number. For this example if you have G2=6 then the MATCH function will return the number 7 because 6 is the seventh number in our array.
I hope this will help. If it doesn't solve your problem please provide a visual example from your table so we can give more accurate answers.

Nearly 500,000 in Wuhan may have had virus, says study
AKIPRESS.COM - Almost 5% of the people in the Chinese city of Wuhan may have been infected with Covid-19, a study by researchers at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has shown, BBC reports.
Wuhan's population is estimated at 11 million, which suggests that almost 500,000 people may have had the virus.
If true, that is almost 10 times higher than Wuhan's officially recorded number of 50,354 cases.
Asymptomatic cases are not counted in China's official case tally.
The study, carried out early this year, took samples from 34,000 people in Wuhan, as well the broader Hubei province, Beijing, Shanghai and four other provinces, said China's CDC in a statement on WeChat.
Researchers found an antibody prevalence rate of 4.43% in Wuhan, and a prevalence rate of 0.44% in the broader Hubei province.
The study comes ahead of a visit by a team of international scientists to Wuhan to investigate the origins of the virus. They will visit next month, following months of negotiations with Beijing, who had been reluctant to agree to an independent inquiry.
China had earlier this year been accused of a lack of transparency over its virus figures, with critics casting doubt on the extent to which their numbers could be trusted.

The Best Hip-Hop of 2009
Andrew Martin, Michael Miller, and Quentin B. Huff
PopMatters Staff
Image by andreas160578 from Pixabay
This was the year of the comeback in hip-hop, filled with powerful storytelling, dense lyricism, and sprawling departures.
If 2009 doesn't go down as the year when one of hip-hop's biggest stars interrupted a young country singer's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Awards, then it should be known as the Year of Returns and Comebacks. Albums by Mos Def, DOOM, Eminem, DJ Quik & Kurupt, and Ghostface Killah certainly fit the bill, not to mention the sequels the genre produced this year, such as Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3, Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, and Method Man & Redman's Blackout II. Many of these albums also contribute to what my co-author Michael Miller aptly refers to as "middle-aged rap".
Hip-hop has gotten older, and so have the artists who helped to build and extend its cultural relevance. The dilemma is figuring out what position to play in the coming years: hardcore lyricist and storyteller (Raekwon, Ghostface), eccentric genius (Mos Def, DOOM, Madlib), elder statesman (KRS-One & Buckshot, Rakim), comic relief (Method Man & Redman), or business mogul and name brand (Jay-Z, P. Diddy). No word yet on which way Dr. Dre has decided to go.
At the other end of the spectrum, hip-hop's up-and-comers are creating an exciting buzz while minimizing the impact of hip-hop's intrinsic generational divide. These artists are also active on the mixtape circuit, cultivating loyal followings and mastering the flexibility of today's distribution models. It'll be interesting to see where rap's momentum goes with these talents at the helm.
Perhaps the best thing about hip-hop in 2009, at least for me, is that there are quite a few albums I can listen to straight through, from start to finish, without complaining about the number or sequencing of the songs. In this age of compiling playlists of various artists and buying tracks for individual download, it's impressive that we have artists deliberately and successfully crafting sets that are meant to be enjoyed as whole albums. - Quentin B. Huff
Best Instrumental Hip-Hop Albums
5. Nicolay - City Lights, Vol. 2: Shibuya [TFE/Hardboiled]
Dutch beat creator Nicolay is versatile. He crafted soul-oriented hip-hop with Kay on 2008's Time:Line, and also works his R&B flavor with singer-emcee Phonte Coleman on their Foreign Exchange projects. Volume Two of City Lights is Nicolay's way of taking us on a vacation. Here, he's captured the sounds and, most impressively, the rhythms of Japan. Carlitta Durand adds her sweet vocals to a couple of songs, but the limelight properly belongs to Nicolay's well-ordered and pristine compositions. It's not a totally smooth trip, as there are a few bumps along the way, but Nicolay is definitely expanding his sound. Pack your bags and get ready for a journey. - Quentin B. Huff
LISTEN: Bandcamp
4. Oh No - Dr. No's Ethiopium [Stones Throw]
Look at what Madlib's younger brother, Michael "Oh No" Jackson, is digging up now. On the cooled heels of 2007's exotically moody Dr. No's Oxperiment, Oh No excavates a new set of crates in search of musical artifacts from Ethiopia. This series of brief but potent musical segments would probably be ripe for the picking by some talented emcee, but then that would distract your attention away from the cultural connection. Oh No creates the illusion of the Ethiopian sound the way a writer skillfully uses dialogue in a story. There's just enough here to mimic the real thing, but not so much that it loses its power and resonance within the work as a whole. - Quentin B. Huff
3. DJ Signify - Of Cities [Bully]
Of Cities is made specifically for one setting: Laying on your back with good headphones on and, if you feel so inclined, with some kind of buzz. Although DJ Signify's fantastic record holds up in other settings, it's made for a fully isolated, totally focused listening experience. Otherwise you might miss the subtleties of the layers within this lo-fi near-masterpiece. It makes sense that it dropped in January, when those of us experiencing a true winter are battling the blues. There is no escaping the fact that this album remains mostly gloomy, haunting, and almost industrial across its 16 tracks -- three of which feature vocals from Aesop Rock or Matt Kelly. And while it remains suited for indoors, staring-at-the-ceiling listening, it still works should you decide to take it with you on a walk traversing the elements, or driving around in the dreariness of a snowy town or city. - Andrew Martin
2. Blockhead - The Music Scene [Ninja Tune]
Are you exhausted by the current state of the music industry? Does the mere mention of it leave you feeling depressed? Sick of taking different color pills to enhance your mood? Try listening to Blockhead's The Music Scene. This album comes with 12 shots of carefully detailed and layered instrumentals. Breakdowns, vocal samples, and tempo changes enhance Blockhead's orchestral arrangements. It's not just a beat tape full of loops. It's an album chock full of smart basslines and rhythmic surprises, along the lines of Blue Sky Black Death's Late Night Cinema. Great for headphones, car stereos, boom boxes, clubs, arena speakers, and laptops. Side effects include smiling, waving your hands in the air like you just don't care, and spontaneous dancing. Not for use with ringtone raps, Auto-Tune, or Don Imus broadcasts. Funky fresh PopMatters criticism not included. - Quentin B. Huff
1. Exile - Radio [Plug Research]
You wouldn't be entirely off-base to think of Radio as a nothing more than a gimmick. A producer sampling sounds from AM and FM stations to make beats? Never mind it being a gimmick -- could it even work? As Exile's fully instrumental Radio shows, yes, it can work. And no, this is not a gimmick. Using his MPC, this California producer hijacked music, talk radio, and everything in between while crafting this imaginative album. From start to finish, Exile makes music that is equally engaging and intriguing. This could have been a mere showcase of his clearly honed skills. But instead the songs are actual songs. And anyone would be hard-pressed to dismiss his perfect use of Little Dragon's "Twice" for the track "San Pedro Cactus". What's most interesting about this project is the fact that these beats, no matter how out-there, could still be rapped over. And the Lessondary crew, which features Tanya Morgan, will prove that point when it drops the Lessondary Radio project in 2010. -] Andrew Martin
BEST MIXTAPES
5. Kid Cudi Dat Kid from Cleveland [DatNewCudi]
"I love the hate, I love the positive", Kid Cudi prefaces his 2009 mixtape, laughing his way through his unanimous acceptance. That kind of humor holds this mixtape together. It's Kid Cudi at his absolutely most playful, not taking himself too seriously, and so making his best music. The burlesque show stand-up routine of "I Poke Her Face" has one of the most clever samples of the year (guess what song it is?); "Look Up in Da Stars", with Wale, is the sound of two hungry artists on the verge of a breakout; Consequence's performance on the jazzy "Buggin' Out 2009" overshadows Cudi's performance, but that's also the point. This mixtape sounds like Cudi's throwing a party, and if someone else steals the spotlight for a minute, Cudi is still the ringmaster. He throws a hell of a party, too. - Michael Miller
J. Period & K'naan
Album: The Messengers: Volumes I, II, and III
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/j/jperiod-knaan-themessengers.jpg
Display Width: 200
US Release Date: 2009-09-22
UK Release Date: 2009-09-22
Display as: List
List number: 4
Along with folks like DJ Green Lantern, Mick Boogie, and DJ Drama, J. Period has made a serious name in the mixtape trade. Somali-born rapper K'naan joins J. Period for three volumes of nonstop action in homage to iconic musicians with messages: Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan. It takes quite a bit of audacity to lay your vocals alongside three legends, but K'naan actually sounds like a natural addition to the proceedings. Equal parts tribute, mic skills, and smart selections from discographies, The Messengers succeeds in entertaining as much as it educates. Quentin B. Huff
Artist: Lil' Wayne
Album: No Ceilings
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/l/lilwayne-noceilings.jpg
As this year pressed on, hip-hop heads were wondering what the hell Lil' Wayne was doing. After appeasing fans with Tha Carter III and plenty of guest verses, it looked like Weezy had kind of lost it. He recorded self-indulgent singles like "Prom Queen", which will appear on his "rock" album -- the much-delayed Rebirth. It seemed like he might be moving away from the straightforward insane lyricism his fans fell in love with. It appears that he heard the rumblings, because he definitely responded with No Ceilings. It has its weak moments, such as a few recycled rhymes here and there, but it's a very strong effort overall. And most of his guests, such as Shanell, are essentially less talented carbon-copies of Wayne. But when the focus is solely on the self-proclaimed "Martian", this mixtape in nearly unstoppable. Weezy slays tracks like Noreaga's "Banned from TV" and Jay-Z's "Run This Town", turning them into even more bombastic displays of bravado. Here's hoping Wayne maintains his creativity when unleashing that aforementioned rock album and the Young Money group project. Andrew Martin
Artist: Wale & 9th Wonder
Album: Back to the Feature
Label: Phantom Sound & Vision
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/w/wale-9thwonder-backtothefeature.jpg
Was I the only one hoping Wale would never, ever sign with a label? Not to player hate on his "official" debut, Attention Deficit, especially since I enjoyed it well enough, but I guess I'm sentimental. Wale's Back to the Feature is our Washington, D.C. go-go boy's last outing as a free agent. It brings a tear to my DIY, indie-minded eye. No, it's not as triumphant as 2007's Seinfeld-inspired The Mixtape About Nothing, but it still packs a punch. Back to the Feature loosely plays on the film Back to the Future, with 9th Wonder as the scientist behind the beats. It also amasses a stack of intriguing guest spots. If you've ever wondered what Wale would sound like alongside, say, Lady Gaga, Talib Kweli, Joe Budden, and Jean Grae -- well, now you know. Quentin B. Huff
Artist: Drake
Album: So Far Gone
Label: Cash Money
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/d/drake-sofargone.jpg
"I've got a certain lust for life", Drake sings at the opening of So Far Gone, overtop one of the most ambient beats in hip-hop history. That ethereal atmosphere continues throughout, continuously contradicting Drake's lyrics about all kinds of familiar hip-hop extravagance. "Houstatlantavegas", is a would-be club anthem that transforms into a tragic stripper opera, including the most depressing "throw your ones up in the air" ever. "Ignant Shit" samples "Big Poppa" so that it sounds like an '80s video game soundtrack, and when Drake says, "My song is your girlfriend's alarm or whatever", he almost sounds sorry. The gospel organ of "Uptown" creates a deep frustration, nearly overpowering Drake when he admits, "Now I run the game", his voice competing with his hook. All the while, a Can drumbeat pounds away, creating a brilliant kaleidoscope of styles and influences. Michael Miller
Best Albums (12-7)
Best Albums - Honorable Mention
Artist: Diamond District
Album: In the Ruff
Label: Ryko
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/d/diamonddistrict-intheruff.jpg
List number: 12
A bunch of albums could have received an "Honorable Mention" this year, for various reasons. Love 'em or hate 'em, Eminem's Relapse and Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 reminded us of what it feels like when an album's release date is treated like an event. Royce Da 5'9's Street Hop, jumpstarted by Royce's spotlight-stealing moments on the Slaughterhouse (Royce, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, and Crooked I) album, could have made the cut. So could Fashawn's Boy Meets World, Skyzoo's The Salvation, or UGK's UGK 4 Life. Diamond District (emcee and producer Oddisee joined by artists XO and YU) gets the nod because, with In the Ruff, this group made the rather bold decision to create an album that recalls the boom-bap sound of the 1990s, yet remains relevant to the contemporary landscape and also stays true to the group's origins. By "origins", I'm referring to the fact that Diamond District's members were raised in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Washington, D.C., in particular, lends a peculiar atmosphere in that it sits at the center of United States politics while also sporting crime rates and income disparities that are out of this world. Listening to In the Ruff, I can't help but wonder if maybe the politics and the not-so-great stuff are related. Diamond District offers intricate rhymes delivered with the ease that characterized the Native Tongue posse of the '90s, coupled with smart loops and bass-heavy beats in the mode of DJ Premier and Pete Rock. These guys make the '90s sound a heck of a lot better than I remember it. Quentin B. Huff
Artist: Ghostface Killah
Album: Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry
Label: Def Jam
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/g/ghostfacekillah-ghostdini.jpg
This is Ghostface Killah at his most experimental. With his foray into R&B, he treats relationships with the same macabre ferocity as he does crack and violence. "I need a girl that's stackin' and poppin'", he bellows on the opening song, as if his very life hangs in the balance in the necessity. Then, of course, there's "Stapleton Sex", a song so explicit it's nearly impossible to listen to. "I've got my gun on the floor and I'm ready to fuck", Ghostface admits before explaining, "My face is wet, got some hair on my tongue". In a matter of seconds, he manages to make sex as frightening as the crack game, a testament to his skill with words. "Guest House" is the perfect synthesis of Ghostface's wit, funkiness, and theatricality. "My dick's as hard as a callus!" he shouts with the seriousness of a condemned man. This isn't easy listening, but Ghostdini's total revision of the slow jam formula makes it one of the most important hip-hop albums of the year. Michael Miller
Artist: DOOM
Album: Born Like This
Label: Lex
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/d/doom-bornlikethis.jpg
Taking its title from a Charles Bukowski poem, DOOM's first album in over three years is also his most focused of the decade. DOOM's incorporation of massive organ sounds, dirty guitar tracks, and jazz drumming recalls Low End Theory A Tribe Called Quest, but DOOM's confident delivery is all his own: "Know the drill, it ain't worth the over kill, flow still", he says on "Gazillion Ear", offering a worthy summation of his style on Born Like This. He's laidback, but entirely self-aware, cutting out all filler, throwing in no unnecessary words. Yes, like a good Bukowski poem, the 40 minutes of Born Like This create a combination of humor and tragedy, distilled to its bare essentials. A glorious return. Michael Miller
Artist: k-os
Album: Yes!
Label: Universal
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/k/kos-yes.jpg
Canada Release Date: 2009-04-14
US Release Date: Import
UK Release Date: Unavailable
This Toronto native has never been one to color inside the genre lines. k-os has shown flashes of experimentation since hitting the scene in the mid-'90s. But he's never jumped outside the box as much as he did on this year's Yes!. Yet it remains very accessible. Singles such as "4 3 2 1" and "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman", which features fellow Canucks Nelly Furtado and Saukrates, are beyond catchy. They display k-os's ability to write a pop song without sacrificing integrity or quality. And they also display his relentless urge to grow as an artist. That quality remains true across the entirety of Yes!. A multitalented artist who raps, sings, and produces better than most of his contemporaries, k-os's discography continues to expand as a force to be reckoned with. Andrew Martin
Artist: DJ Quik & Kurupt
Album: BlaQKout
Label: Mad Science
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/d/djquik-kurupt-blaqkout.jpg
UK Release Date: Import
"This feeling right here is like taking me back to 1995", DJ Quik says on the title track of BlaQKout. 1987 is more like it. A near-perfect meeting point of 1999-era Prince and Straight Outta Compton -- which is to say this album is really FUNKY -- BlaQKout finds these two veteran MCs alternating between their most playful (the nasty bedroom anthem "Cream") and serious ("9 x Outta 10"). The record, with its otherworldy beats that combine elements of electronica, jazz, blues, and, of course, funk, is the sonic equivalent of DJ Quik's evolution from a teenage DJ in Los Angeles to a purveyor of cerebral party rap. Its understated-ness is just haughty enough to provide a metonym for Kurupt's less-is-more approach to rapping. With BlaQKout, these two rappers -- now pushing 40 -- not only prove they are still relevant, they also show they can play harder than most other artists in the genre. Michael Miller
Artist: Serengeti & Polyphonic
Album: Terradactyl
Label: Anticon
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/s/serengeti-polyphonic-terradactly.jpg
Polyphonic's the DJ. Serengeti's the wordsmith. Together, they continue with the inventive, off-kilter rhyme and beat wizardry they almost perfected on 2007's Don't Give Up. Although the title brings to mind the ancient pterodactyl, Serengeti & Polyphonic's Terradactyl is far from antiquated. Its thumping and pulsing futuristic rhythms make the affair more accessible than its sonic predecessor, largely because Polyphonic's nimble and wonderfully busy soundscapes provide the right contrast to Serengeti's lithe delivery. Serengeti is pensive, reflective, bluesy, and trippy, and although he doesn't lean as heavily on humor as in some of his solo work, his lyrical heft is abundant. Serengeti packs a punch when he's moody. Where Don't Give Up offered a sonic quilt, Terradactyl is the musical equivalent of abstract art and impressionism. The results are workmanlike, fresh, and thrilling. Absolutely dope. Quentin B. Huff
Best Albums (6-1)
Artist: Danny!
Album: Where Is Danny?
Label: Definitive Jux
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/d/danny-whereisdanny.jpg
Where Is Danny?, indeed. To be fair, he wasn't completely off-the-radar. His 2008 full-length, And I Love H.E.R., was well-received, with good reason. And he dropped a few instrumental projects since then. But Danny!'s proper Definitive Jux debut was nowhere to be found. Pushed back time and time again, a rough version of that album eventually hit the 'Net, though that was never his intention. The IMEEM website and some writers leaked the advance. As a result, Danny's camp released Where Is Danny? for free with a fully mastered version set to drop soon in stores and digitally. Rough or not, it was clear this was not only Danny's best effort, but one of 2009's best, too. A sprawling departure from his previous sound -- gone are the soul samples and Kanye references -- Where Is Danny? plays like a drugged up mix of early De La Soul and Madvillain. Danny and Alex Goose, who produced almost every track on here, crafted one hell of an experimental record that displays both artists at the top of their respective game. Andrew Martin
Danny!: Where Is Danny?
Artist: Tanya Morgan
Album: Brooklynati
Label: Interdependent Media
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/t/tanyamorgan-brooklynati.jpg
For the last time, Tanya Morgan is not a neo-soul singer! Tanya Morgan is a rap group, a trio of three male emcees -- Von Pea, Ilyas, and Donwill. In 2006, their Moonlighting album, and its concept of a cassette tape being passed around, reminded me of De La Soul Is Dead (which is still a good listen). This time, Tanya Morgan strikes again with a loftier, more exacting concept. They've created a city called "Brooklynati", playing on their personal connections as Von Pea hails from Brooklyn, New York, while Ilyas and Donwill are from Cincinnati, Ohio. It also represents the meshing of their styles, the rapid flows of the Midwestern United States meeting the lyrical acumen of New York. Complete with skits, commentary, and a very believable Brooklynati Chamber of Commerce website, the album brings us a refreshing set of razor sharp flows from three energetic and witty emcees. The production is slicker here than on Moonlighting, and I miss the muddy and grimy we-don't-have-a-budget sound they used to have. But they more than make up for it with interesting verses and complementary guest spots. Best of all, their personalities have grown, so that each group member sounds more distinct without ruining the overall cohesiveness of the effort. Quentin B. Huff
Tanya Morgan: Brooklynati
Artist: Finale
Album: A Pipe Dream and a Promise
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/f/finale-apipedreamandapromise.jpg
Detroit has been quietly (or loudly if you keep up with the "underground") killing the rap game for many years. From Eminem to Slum Village to Finale, the Motor City steadily churns out killer albums. And in 2009, it was no different. Finale's A Pipe Dream and a Promise is the prime example of a proper solo debut -- minimal filler, excellent production, and a variety of topics. It's also a showcase of straightforward, no-bullshit hip-hop at its finest. Armed with beats from the likes of Kev Brown, J Dilla, and Black Milk, Finale spits passionately for just short of an hour. There is no denying the brilliance of cuts like album-opener "Arrival & Departure", "Heat", and "The Waiting Game", the latter of which features like-minded rapper Invincible. And Finale's lyricism and smooth flow aside, he -- like other Detroit MCs -- displays a ridiculous knack for breath control. There must be something in the water over there. Andrew Martin
Artist: Raekwon
Album: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II
Label: ICEAL
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/r/raekwon-onlybuilt4cubanlinx2.jpg
Hip-Hop's Great White Whale appeared this year, and it surpassed everyone's expectations. Right down to the mirror image cover, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II picks up where Part I left off. Raekwon sounds like he's been resting, contemplating, brooding during the 15 years it took to make his sequel. His slow, menacing delivery overpowers everything here: J Dilla's two incredible production credits, the album's grand storytelling ambitions, Ghostface Killah's fiery passion -- "When I was 12 in the church I thought of packing that metal!" he shouts on "10 Bricks". When Raekwon says, "Soldiers in the front, let the heat pump", with the meditative calm of a retired crime boss (hey, he's playing a role, but he plays it well), you know a decade of mediocrity has been erased. Like The Godfather Part II, it makes the original cower in its shadow. Michael Miller
Artist: Brother Ali
Album: Us
Label: Rhymesayers
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/b/brotherali-us.jpg
Us is a storytelling powerhouse of an album. Brother Ali made the decision to replace his own trials and tribulations with those of others. There is no question he excelled in spitting autobiographical rhymes. But he packs the same emotion and strong lyricism into a slew of topics, including loving a woman who hates herself ("You Say (Puppy Love)") and a former friend who can't shake the life of the streets ("Games"). There's plenty of braggadocio, too. "[email protected]", which features Freeway and Joell Ortiz, has Ali rhyming like a man possessed. And even though it hosts 16 tracks of intense content, Us never drags. A big reason for that is co-conspirator/producer Ant, who, like Ali, also moved away from his calling card -- slick samples and loops with a distinct early '90s vibe. This time around, Ant called on talented musicians to interpolate samples with live instrumentation. It all makes for a very rich, engaging listening experience that's also one of 2009's best. Andrew Martin
Artist: Mos Def
Album: The Ecstatic
Label: Downtown
Image: http://images.popmatters.com/features_art/m/mosdef-theecstatic.jpg
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. When I first heard The Ecstatic, I despised it. I was so angry I wanted to take it back to the store. I mistook its eclecticism for being unfocused and scatterbrained, wrote off its use of repetition (in place of hooks) as laziness, and misread the lyrics as gibberish. Another sad case of Overzealous Critic Syndrome. Be sure to get your vaccinations. I must have listened to The Ecstatic 15 times before I realized it was worth getting excited about. I see it now as a four part set, each comprised of four songs with a distinct movement, theme, and cycle. Far from unfocused, it showcases Mos Def at his mos' energized, bringing us poignant and pointed rhymes backed by superb production. He's still singing, still reminding us to call him Dante, Flaco, Boogeyman, or whatever, but the whole thing operates as if his "supermagic" is actually voodoo. He designed these incantations to elicit nostalgia, hope, amazement, and delight. Quentin B. Huff

How does LiveJasmin work?
Women, men and couples register on the site to become camgirls / camboys with shows they do at home most of the time. On the model side, they list their abilities, which they like to do to turn them on so that fans can help them achieve that goal.
Conversely, voyeurs, or those who watch the cameras themselves, have the option to watch for free, with limited areas of the site and only for paying customers.
The ability to provide free shows gives LiveJasmin an edge over some cam sites that require you to pay just to register.
It also gives models exposure that they normally wouldn't have had otherwise. Free customers can pay for live or pre-recorded shows. There is also a credit system for requesting sexy actions.
What are credits and what are they used for?
Even though money is used on LiveJasmin , it is converted into virtual currency known as credits . Credits are what allow paid members to participate in activities that are not available to free members. This includes a number of things, such as private shows of their favorite models, hot actions, or unlocking content that has been hidden and requires purchase to be seen. Porn videos of a model require a credit transaction to view. The credits are then transformed into euros to reward the camgirl, which generates an income for her.
As occasional visitors may not want to purchase credits until they see a model they like, their purchase is made available on profiles and different places on the platform. There are very few regions where the acquisition of credits is not allowed. The process of obtaining credits is a safe and secure transaction with your card or banking information.
LiveJasmin Profiles
Every woman, man, couple has a profile with important information like age, country, gender and interests.
The amount of information about a model's profile is decided by the interpreter himself, with only a few spaces required. It is, however, common for the profile to offer as much content as possible, if their end goal is transparency and acquiring new fans.
Profiles are also necessary for both visitors and members as this is where the relationship between users and models begins. The two (or more) can communicate through messaging, but is usually done through a model (s)-specific chat room.
Number of models on LiveJasmin
LiveJasmin employs thousands of models on their site, making the platform one of the most visited porn sites ! They boast that at least 2,000 men and women are streamed anytime of the day, giving fans endless amounts of choices to watch.
There is a Favorites system, with a heart icon to keep your favorite models in a corner of the site. This avoids the headache of having to look for them later when you want to review their profile.
Diversity on LiveJasmin
The number of camgirls on Live Jasmin allows them a great diversity of models by gender, ethnicity and preferences. The fact that there is so much show and content is a huge advantage, as they are able to offer any type of content to appeal to as many people as possible. With 5 languages and countless body types, there is something for everyone.

Masters student Murdered in Soa-Yaounde
by Mimi Mefo Takambou
A Private Law student at the University of Yaounde II in Soa, near Yaounde, Cameroon's political capital whose name we got as Celestine Nga Akoa, has been murdered.
She was reportedly killed on the evening of July 1st, as she returned from Yaounde town, where she had been for a while with her mother.
A neighbour of the young girl who was part of the crew that transported the victim to the local health center in Soa testified that Celestine was stabbed two times in her clavicular hollow and her left wrist.
"Clotted blood balls were coming out of her mouth and nostrils when she was taken to the hospital. She was barely breathing when we took her to the doctor" he recounted.
It has not yet been established who her murderers are and for what reason she was killed.
It is said that the victim was attacked few metres from the gate of her Hostel, "BERTA" which is located behind the campus of the University.
While on the scene of the crime, the police were able to recover some of the assailant's belongings that included a pair of slippers and purple gloves.
Investigations have been opened by the police as to identify who the assailants are and how they could be apprehended.
Pending the results of the findings, the body of the young student, the only daughter of her mother has been kept at the Yaounde Central Hospital mortuary.
Unconfirmed reports suggest, the murderers of Celestine who is said to be in her early thirties might have been settling scores.

A GOLDEN Globe winning film about two Palestinian suicide bombers has continued to cause controversy in the wake of its awards success.
Paradise Now tells the story of two friends from Nablus in the West Bank, who volunteer to bomb Israeli civilians in Tel Aviv.
It was named best foreign language film at the recent Golden Globes and is now seen as a favourite to land the Oscar equivalent.
But while it has been widely praised on the festival circuit for its sensitive depiction of the subject, its producer, Amir Harel, has subsequently accused major Israeli cinema chains of shunning it.
The film can be seen in a lot of independent art-house cinemas and has drawn a good response from audiences, especially in the wake of its awards success.
But its subject matter has prompted many of the country's major distributors to ignore it based on profit predictions that show it is not likely to make one (in their opinion).
However, the comments have angered Harel, who believes that cinemas are being put off showing the film by criticisms of the film voiced in Israel.
The Jerusalem Post, for instance, recently wrote that the film 'humanises' suicide bombers and made 'heroes of villains' – even though it did receive financial backing from the Israeli Film Fund.
"It seems the distributors have made a simple calculation, and decided they do not need the hassle of political demonstrations outside their cinemas," Harel told the BBC.
The film's director, Hany Abu-Assad, said that the point behind the film was to help people understand the environment and motivations that make ordinary people carry out such extreme acts of violence such as terrorism.
And the project was undertaken under the threat of great personal risk to all those involved. The film was shot on location in Nablus, one of the centres of Palestinian resistance, in the summer of 2004.
And filming was regularly interrupted by Israeli and Palestinian gun battles.
Israeli incursions were part of the daily routine and the crew was exposed to Israeli missile attacks on one side and feuding Palestinian militant factions on the other.
Indeed, as awareness of the film's content grew, one faction threatened to take the foreign crew members hostage after becoming unhappy with the subject matter.
Such risks look to have paid off on the international market, and given its recognition at the Golden Globes. But both the producer and director remain keen for people in Israel to see it, so that it can stand a better chance of achieving its objective.
The film is due to open in UK cinemas later this year, when it should provide an interesting counterpoint to Steven Spielberg's Munich, which is attracting a similar groundswell of opinion against it, particularly between Israelis and Palestinians.

Andrew Gillum Wins Democratic Primary, Becomes Florida's First Black Gubernatorial Nominee
The "non-millionaire" candidate is running on a progressive platform that firecely opposes Stand Your Ground laws and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum made history last night (August 28), winning Florida's Democratic gubernatorial nomination and becoming the first Black nominee for governor of the key battleground state.
Gillum is running on a progressive platform which advocates for marijuana legalization, Medicare for all and fiercely opposes Stand Your Ground laws and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On Tuesday, Gillum defeated seven of his contenders, winning 34 percent of the vote. Former Congresswoman Gwen Graham, the front runner, had 31 percent, as reported by The New York Times.
The 39-year-old mayor, who grew up in a working-class family, ran as the only "non-millionaire" candidate, as he professed in his campaign and the Tampa Bay Times reported. In the final stretch, Gillum upset Florida's Democratic political establishment by gaining support from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and funding from Collective PAC (a group supporting Black progressive candidates) and billionaires Tom Steyer and George Soros.
"The same part of this country that was built by people of color may soon be led by people of color," Gillum said in a recent interview with The Washington Post. "That, in the shadow of Donald Trump in Washington, would be poetic justice in this country."
In November, Gillum will square off with the Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Ron Desantis (R-FL), a candidate who has gained the support of President Donald Trump.
Watch Andrew Gillum's victory speech following the Florida primaries, below:
"This race is about every single last one of us, right? Those of us in this room…those who could not vote for me because they may be Republicans. But, you want to know something? I want to be their governor too." Andrew Gillum gives victory speech following upset win. #FLGov pic.twitter.com/YM7DuwiEc0

T helper 17 (Th17) cells can give rise to interleukin-17A (IL-17A)- and interferon (IFN)-γ-double-producing cells that are implicated in development ofautoimmune diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern generation of IFN-γ-producing Th17 cells are unclear. We found that coexpression of the Th1 and Th17 cell master transcription factors, T-bet and retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma-t (RORγt), respectively, did not generate Th cells with robust IL-17 and IFN-γ expression. Instead, development of IFN-γ-producing Th17 cells required T-bet and Runx1 or Runx3. IL-12-stimulated Th17 cells upregulated Runx1, which bound to the Ifng locus in a T-bet-dependent manner. Reciprocally, T-bet or Runx1 deficiency or inhibition of Runx transcriptional activity impaired the development ofIFN-γ-producing Th17 cells during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, which correlated with substantially ameliorated disease course. Thus, our studies identify a critical role for T-bet andRunx transcription factors in the generation of pathogenic IFN-γ-producing Th17 cells. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Q: Bayesian approach and ML approach for distributions Suppose that we have two sets of discrete random variables X ~ f(θ), Y~g(θ) where X and Y are independent, and the parameter θ is the same in both cases. We are interested in predicting Y on the basis of observations of X.
Describe the maximum likelihood approach to predicting features of the distribution of Y based on observing that X=xobs
Describe the Bayesian approach to computing the posterior distribution Pr{Y=y|X=xobs}

A: For a Bayesian,
$$ p(y|x) = \int p(y|\theta)p(\theta|x) d\theta $$
where we are using the usual posterior for $\theta$ given $x$, i.e.
$$ p(\theta|x) \propto p(x|\theta)p(\theta).$$
For "Describe the maximum likelihood approach ...", we could use $p(y|\hat{\theta}_{mle})$ where
$$ \hat{\theta}_{mle} = \sup_{\theta} p(x|\theta) $$
but this does not account for our uncertainty about $\theta$. I know of no way to properly account for this uncertainty in a frequentist paradigm (this doesn't mean it doesn't exist just that I don't know what it is).

Aronberg warns of homeless crisis after sober home crackdown
At a meeting of the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation on Tuesday, State Attorney Dave Aronberg explained how he has spent the $275,000 lawmakers gave him to probe corruption in the drug treatment industry but warned that if the funding is not renewed, proactive efforts to combat corruption will likely end.
"Our criminal investigations will continue beyond the appropriation," Aronberg said, adding that the funding will stop on June 30, 2017. "The only difference will be that we will probably be back in a reactive mode as opposed to the task force being able to get in front of this."
Aronberg did not make a pitch for a specific amount of money. Instead, he asked local lawmakers to watch the actions of the task force. Since its start on July 1, the task force has made seven arrests: two treatment providers and five sober home operators. All have been charged with multiple counts of patient brokering.
The task force has also drafted legislation which it hopes local lawmakers will sponsor and suggested tweaks to existing laws and regulations, Aronberg said.
"You've seen stories on all the unnecessary lives lost because of the heroin crisis," Aronberg said, holding up a copy of the Nov. 20 front page of the Post, which displayed the faces of the 216 people who died of heroin-related overdoses in 2015.
Aronberg's experience with cracking down on drugs dates back to his tenure as the state's Drug Czar during the pill mill crisis a decade ago. Aronberg admitted that he knew that closing the pill mills would create a heroin crisis.
"Government doesn't always do a good job of preventing," Aronberg said. "It does a better job of reacting."
However, Aronberg said he wants to be prepared for the by-product of the sober home crackdown: Homelessness.
"Once we shut down a lot of these sober homes, we're going to have a homeless problem," Aronberg said. Already, he has begun talks with the county commission about housing for addicts left homeless.
"Keep in mind, this could be the next front in this fight," Aronberg said.
The Task Force has three units: Law enforcement, secret group that meets monthly to discuss criminal investigations; A proviso group, that has examined existing laws and regulations and will suggest changes; and the Sober Home Task Force, made up of sober home operators, treatment providers and the public.
Aronberg said some of the money went to hire a full-time investigator and criminal analyst. Aronberg has also assigned a prosecutor to work exclusively on corruption.
"I think Palm Beach County is going to be a leader in this effort," Aronberg said. "We are creating a model that others can follow."

"We just knew we needed to get this one for him," Waters said after hitting a game-winning layup to send LSU to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — LSU sophomore guard Tremont Waters started with the ball near half court. As time ticked away, he drove to the basket and made a go-ahead layup off the glass with 1.6 seconds remaining in regulation.
With one final defensive stand, the No. 3-seeded Tigers defeated No. 6 Maryland 69-67 to advance to the Sweet 16 of the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
After the win, Waters was asked about late teammate Wayde Sims, who was shot and killed in September 2018 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, before the first team's first official practice. Wearing a commemorative Sims No. 44 patch on his jersey as he spoke, Waters said the win was for his fallen teammate.
"He's always with us, said Waters, who put the No. 44 in the air after the final horn sounded to celebrate the win. "Obviously, we lost a brother, but we understand that he's always with us.
"Our score was 44 at one point, and we all stopped in the huddle, looked up at the scoreboard, and just said, '44' ... we just knew we needed to get this one for him."
"We just knew we needed to get this one for him."

In May 2016, The Korea Economic Daily launched the Korean Investors, an English-language news and intelligence outlet which keeps the global asset management community updated with the latest news on Korean asset owners: pensions, sovereign wealth funds, savings funds, and insurers.
Since the launch, the Korean Investors published more than 370 articles on strategic and tactical asset allocation, external manager selection (RFPs), fundraising, and many other individual deals done by Korean institutional investors. We also closely follow key professionals of the organizations.
The Korean Investors is the country's only alternative investment news provider in English, focusing on major Korean institutional investors, which serves as a platform for general partners to build networks with limited partners in South Korea.
National Pension Service, Korea Investment Corporation and Korea Post are our three major news sources, with total AUM of $800 billion. We also cover other public & private pensions, savings funds and insurers who are rapidly ramping up overseas alternative assets in their portfolios.
