Hello, Freqs! This week on Radio Static, we discuss the Frequency Season 1 Episode 10, The Edison Effect, which originally aired on January 4, 2017. Frank and Raimy Sullivan pursue the Nightingale but things don't go according to plan.
We had an action and character packed episode this week!
We traveled back to 1993, and learned more about Deacon Joe Hurley (played to creepy perfection by Kenneth Mitchell), his wife, Christa (April Telek), and his step-children, young Meghan Womack (Britt McKillip) and Robbie Womack (Dodge Prince). He beat his wife and the children with a belt, and easily flipped between angry enforcer and jovial, happy husband and parent. But we are still asking ourselves, is this man really a serial killer as well as a wife and child beater? Meghan disclosed these behaviors to her therapist (Veena Sood), but wasn't believed. When we see Deacon Joe in 2016, holding the now adult Meghan (Beth Lacke) prisoner in the cabin where he beat them as children, he does shoot her when cornered by the police. The point is that he shot her – he didn't kill her and wrap her in rosary beads, but perhaps it was because he was out of time. Why did he never kill her in the preceding 20 years, and where is Robbie? Is he really dead?
As Raimy desperately searches for Meghan, Satch Rayna (Mekhi Phifer) stops her with the information that Detective Kyle Mosbey (Rob Mayes), our very own "Detective Hot Stuff," has been in a car accident and is in the hospital. While still under anesthesia, he professes his feelings for Raimy in front of his mother, Joann (Michelle Martin). She begins to appreciate this man and while she still believes Daniel Lawrence (Daniel Bonjour) is the only person for her and that she is fated to be with him, she spends time with him because she believes everything will change to the way it should be after her father kills the Nightingale.
That leads us to the discussion of fate vs. free will. Raimy believes in fate. She believes the world will right itself, and that she will be with Daniel, her mother will be restored, and all with be right in the universe. Her father, Frank, is deep in free will. He questions whether or not they should kill Deacon Joe, not simply for the moral reasons (Frank does not want to be a cold blooded killer), but also for the potential Butterfly Effect. Could they do something that significantly changes the timeline and end up doing more damage to the people they love? Yet he moves ahead with the plan, buying supplies at a local hardware store, lining his car trunk with plastic, stealing funds from the church to make it appear that Deacon Joe has absconded with the church's money, and then finally kidnapping Joe.
We were introduced to a new character this week that will likely be involved with possibly both Sullivans in their respective timelines. Gordon Haas, Sr. (played by Chris McKenna) and young Gordo (Ty Consiglio) see Frank in the hardware store. While it seems like a great father and son relationship exists in 1996, that has changed by 2016. Gordo, whom we learn has a law degree like his father, doesn't want to become like his father – his dad abandoned their family for a younger woman, who has now tossed Gordon Sr. out of their Washington, DC house. Dad is back to stay, and it appears he may be a defense attorney – something Frank and Raimy may need in their respective timelines!
Frank Sullivan is making steps toward reconciling with Julie, especially after their "sleepover" which thrills young Raimy (Ada Breker). The child then deliberately leaves her clarinet, which she needs for her Winter Concert, in the back of her father's car after he has told her that he can't attend. Young Raimy is deliberately trying to manipulate her father into coming to the concert so that her parents can spend time together and reconcile. Instead, Frank pays attention to the phone message about the clarinet from Julie and is involved in a car accident. Is Deacon Joe still alive in the trunk, or will he escape? Will Frank be arrested?
And Raimy – after Deacon Joe flees the cabin after killing Meghan, Raimy gives chase. She finds him and shoots him in cold blood. What will be the implications of this darkness that she has embraced? Regardless of whether she believes time will change when her father kills Deacon Joe in 1996 and this will not matter, she has deliberately taken a life. It will remain in her memory and become part of who she is. She cannot escape this.
What is the meaning of the episode title, The Edison Effect? Thomas Edison and his team were trying to find a light bulb filament that would work effectively in the late 1870's/early 1880's. They thought they had found a solution, but it was not working the way they thought it would. He was able to determine that the electricity was flowing through the filament and through the evacuated bulb, and he could measure it, but he could not explain why the bulb was blackening. Electrons could flow only one way but never the other way, like water through a valve. He got a patent on this new device, but did not realize he had discovered the basis of the electron tube (also known as a vacuum tube).
In 1904, John Fleming, working for the British wireless Telegraphy Company, recalled the Edison Effect, and used it to convert a weak alternating current into a direct current that could actuate a meter or a telephone receiver, because it would allow the electricity to flow only in one direction. He invented the first vacuum tube.
The lesson? The creative inventor takes ideas out of their original contexts and uses them in new contexts. How does this apply to our team?
Raimy is looking at Daniel in a new way, out of the context of her "original" timeline, and she is seeing Kyle for the first time as someone with whom she could have a relationship. Frank is seriously contemplating the Butterfly Effect as he and Raimy talk through the ham radio, considering that what they do may have a greater change and impact on their lives and the lives of those around them without realizing that each thing they are doing is changing the future. There is much for our characters to think about.

More information is being learned about the death of a young man whom authorities say was fatally stabbed by a female relative with a kitchen knife in an apartment in Ayer, Massachusetts on Friday.
The victim was named by a relative as Jonathan Merritt, 24. The Middlesex District Attorney's office has not yet released the names of anyone from the incident.
Investigators have told NBC10 Boston that the suspect stayed at the scene and was the one who called 911. Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said the victim was found with a stab wound and taken to Nashoba Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The attack, being called a domestic incident, happened in a second-floor apartment at Zodiac Village on Groton School Road. Ryan said a 26-year-old woman who lives in the apartment stabbed the man with a large kitchen knife shortly after 1 p.m. The woman was arrested at the scene.
The DA's office confirmed the victim was related to the suspect. A relative of both tells NBC10 Boston the two are cousins.
"Only thing I know is that she stabbed him, but why or how, I have no idea," the relative said, adding that the victim has had struggles with drugs.
The relative says both have children.
"That's two lives gone," the man said. "She's going to jail and he's dead. For what?"
A man is dead after authorities say a woman stabbed him with a kitchen knife in an apartment in Ayer, Massachusetts.
One neighbor remembered the victim kindly.
The woman has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury. She is expected to be arraigned Monday in Ayer District Court.

The Shettles Method of Sex Selection
In the 1960s in the United States Landrum B. Shettles developed the Shettles method, which is a procedure for couples to use prior to and during an intercourse to increase their chances of conceiving a fetus of their desired sex. Shettles, a physician, who specialized in obstetrics and gynecology, found a difference in the size and shape of male sperm cells that he correlated with the different sex chromosomes they carry.

The Whelan Method of Sex Selection
The Whelan Method of Sex Selection is a method for increasing a couple's probability of conceiving an infant of the desired sex through timing intercourse. Elizabeth Whelan, a public health researcher, suggested that couples only have intercourse at specific times during the woman's menstrual cycle based on whether they wanted a female or male infant. Whelan published her method in her book, Boy or Girl, in 1977.
Ericsson Method of Sperm Separation
In 1973, Ronald Ericsson developed the Ericsson method, which is a technique used to separate human male sperm cells by their genetic material. Ericsson, a physician and reproduction researcher, developed the method while conducting research on sperm isolation in Berlin, Germany, in the early 1970s. He found that the sperm cells that carry male-producing Y chromosomes move through liquid faster than the cells that carry female-producing X chromosomes.
Phalloplasty
Phalloplasty is a type of surgery that takes existing skin, tissue, and nerves from surrounding areas on a patient's body to repair or form a neophallus, or a new penis structure. In 1946, Harold Gillies, a plastic surgeon who practiced in England, performed one of the first modern phalloplasties that entailed creating an entire neophallus for a transsexual, called transgender as of 2022, man in London, England. The reconstructive need for phalloplasties started as a result of treating blast wounds during World War I and World War II.
MicroSort
"MicroSort, developed in 1990 by the Genetics and IVF Institute, is a form of pre-conception sex selection technology for humans. Laboratories located around the world use MicroSort technology to help couples increase their chances of conceiving a child of their desired sex. MicroSort separates male sperm cells based on which sex chromosome they contain, which results in separated semen samples that contain a higher percentage of sperm cells that carry the same sex chromosome.
Throughout history methods involving urine have been a popular way to test for pregnancy. Early ideas ranged from simply observing the color of a woman's urine to the notion that the urine of pregnant women contains special crystals or secretions. Indeed, pregnancy testing can be traced back to 1350 BCE in Ancient Egypt. A written document from the time describes a process in which a woman would urinate on wheat and barley seeds over several days and, depending on which plant grew, both the woman's pregnancy status and the sex of the fetus could be determined.
Harold Delf Gillies (1882-1960)
Harold Delf Gillies performed one of the first sexual reassignment surgeries, termed gender affirmation surgeries as of 2022, on record in 1946 in London, England. He also practiced modern plastic surgery and helped distinguish it as a new branch of medicine in London, England, starting in the early 1900s. Gillies's work focused initially on facial reconstructive surgery, particularly during both World War I and World War II. Gillies created newer and more efficient techniques that later became standard procedures for reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries.

Amniocentesis is a test used for prenatal diagnosis of inherited diseases, Rh incompatibility, neural tube defects, and lung maturity. Normally performed during the second trimester of a pregnancy, this invasive procedure allows the detection of health problems in the fetus as early as fifteen weeks gestation. Although amniocentesis does carry some significant risks, the medical community commonly accepts it as a safe and useful procedure.
Plan B: Emergency Contraceptive Pill
Plan B is a progestin-only emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) that can be taken within seventy-two hours of unprotected sex in order to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Plan B was created in response to the United States Food and Drug Administration's (US FDA) 1997 request for new drug applications (NDAs) for a dedicated ECP product, and was approved for sales in the US in 1999. Duramed, a subsidiary of Barr Pharmaceuticals, manufactures Plan B for The Women's Capital Corporation (WCC), which owns the patent for Plan B.
ABO Blood Type Identification and Forensic Science (1900-1960)
The use of blood in forensic analysis is a method for identifying individuals suspected of committing some kinds of crimes. Paul Uhlenhuth and Karl Landsteiner, two scientists working separately in Germany in the early twentieth century, showed that there are differences in blood between individuals. Uhlenhuth developed a technique to identify the existence of antibodies, and Landsteiner and his students showed that humans had distinctly different blood types called A, B, AB, and O.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) in the US
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is an artificially created hormone first synthesized in the late 1930s. Doctors widely prescribed DES first to pregnant women to prevent miscarriages, and later as an emergency contraceptive pill and to treat breast cancer. However, in 1971, physicians showed a link between DES and vaginal cancer during puberty in the children of women who had taken DES while pregnant. Consequently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned its use during pregnancy.

Equilibrium Density Gradient Centrifugation in Cesium Chloride Solutions Developed by Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl
Matthew Meselson, Franklin Stahl, and Jerome Vinograd, developed cesium chloride, or CsCl, density gradient centrifugation in the 1950s at the California Institute of Technology, or Caltech, in Pasadena, California. Density gradient centrifugation enables scientists to separate substances based on size, shape, and density. Meselson and Stahl invented a specific type of density gradient centrifugation, called isopycnic centrifugation that used a solution of cesium chloride to separate DNA molecules based on density alone.
Beadle and Ephrussi's Transplantation Technique for Drosophila
Boris Ephrussi and George Wells Beadle developed a transplantation technique on flies, Drosophila melanogaster, which they described in their 1936 article A Technique of Transplantation for Drosophila. The technique of injecting a tissue from one fly larva into another fly larva, using a micropipette, to grow that tissue in the second larvae, was a means for investigating development of Drosophila. Through this technique, Beadle and Ephrussi studied the role of genes in embryological processes.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves testing for specific genetic conditions prior to the implantation of an embryo in the uterine wall. This form of genetic screening has been made possible by the growth of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) technology, which allows for the early stages of development to occur in a laboratory dish rather than in vivo. The purpose of PGD is to identify what are considered to be abnormal embryos in order to select the most desirable embryos for implantation.
2D Obstetric Ultrasound
The development of the obstetric ultrasound has allowed physicians and embryologists to obtain a clear picture of the developing human embryo and fetus during pregnancy. Obstetric ultrasonography, often referred to as ultrasound, is a technology that uses sound waves to produce images of structures inside the human body. A handheld probe emits sound waves, which are reflected back by the different structures within the body.
Clomiphene citrate, more commonly known by its brand names Clomid and Serophene, is a medication prescribed to women to stimulate ovulation in order to treat infertility. It stimulates ovulation in women who do not ovulate or ovulate irregularly. This drug was created by Dr. Frank Palopoli in 1956 while he worked for Merrell Company. It first successfully induced ovulation in women in 1961 and was approved by the Federal and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1967.
Orchiopexy
Orchiopexy, also known as orchidopexy, is a surgical technique that can correct cryptorchidism and was successfully performed for one of the first times in 1877 in Scotland. Cryptorchidism, a condition where one or both of the testicles fail to descend before birth, is one of the most common male genital birth defects, affecting approximately 2 to 8 percent of full-term male infants, and around 33 percent of premature infants. Typically in the womb, male testes form within the abdomen, then descend into the scrotal area between twenty-five to thirty-five weeks' gestation.

Ernst Gräfenberg (1881–1957)
Ernst Gräfenberg was a physician and researcher who studied sexology, the study of human sexuality, in both Germany and the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. Gräfenberg researched the use of intrauterine devices as a form of contraception, and he developed the Gräfenberg ring. The Gräfenberg ring was one of the first intrauterine devices that effectively prevented pregnancy without causing infection, and it became the forerunner of all modern intrauterine devices, or IUDs. Gräfenberg also studied the role of the urethra in female orgasm.

The Birth Control Pill
The birth control pill, more commonly known as "the pill" is a form of contraception taken daily in pill form and consisting of synthetic hormones formulated to prevent ovulation, fertilization, and implantation of a fertilized egg. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first birth control pill, Enovid, in June 1960. It was the first contraceptive pill marketed worldwide. Since then a number of different pills have been developed, which differ in hormone type and dosage, and whether they contain one hormone (the minipill) or two (the combination pill).

Medical Vibrators for Treatment of Female Hysteria
During the late 1800s through the early 1900s, physicians administered pelvic massages involving clitoral stimulation by early electronic vibrators as treatments for what was called female hysteria. Until the early 1900s, physicians used female hysteria as a diagnosis for women who reported a wide range of complaints and symptoms unexplainable by any other diagnosis at the time. According to historian Rachel Maines, physicians provided pelvic massages for thousands of years to female patients without it being considered erotic or sexually stimulating.

Noninvasive Fetal Aneuploidy Detection for Trisomy 21, 13, and 18
Noninvasive fetal aneuploidy detection technology allows for the detection of fetal genetic conditions, specifically having three chromosomes, a condition called aneuploidy, by analyzing a simple blood sample from the pregnant woman. Dennis Lo and Rossa Chiu researched methods of detection of aneuploidies in the early twenty-first century. Their research has been specifically applied to three trisomies, trisomy twenty-one known as Down syndrome, trisomy eighteen known as Edwards Syndrome, and trisomy thirteen known as Patau Syndrome.

Q: How to draw a filled arc in matplotlib In matplotlib, I would like draw an filled arc which looks like this:

The following code results in an unfilled line arc:
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fg, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)

pac = mpatches.Arc([0, -2.5], 5, 5, angle=0, theta1=45, theta2=135)
ax.add_patch(pac)

ax.axis([-2, 2, -2, 2])
ax.set_aspect("equal")
fg.canvas.draw()

The documentation says that filled arcs are not possible.
What would be the best way to draw one?

A: Here's a simpler workaround. Use the hatch argument in your mpatches.Arc command. If you repeat symbols with the hatch argument it increases the density of the patterning. I find that if you use 6 dashes, '-', or 6 dots, '.' (others probably also work), then it solidly fills in the arc as desired. When I run this
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.axes()
pac = mpatches.Arc([0, -2.5], 5, 5, 45, theta1=45, theta2=135, hatch = '......')
plt.gca().add_patch(pac)
pac.set_color('cyan')
plt.axis('equal')
plt.show()

I get this:
Arc filled with dense dot hatch and rotated 45 degrees just for show

A: You can draw a wedge, and then hide part of it with a triangle:
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def filled_arc(center, radius, theta1, theta2, ax, color):

    circ = mpatches.Wedge(center, radius, theta1, theta2, fill=True, color=color)
    pt1 = (radius * (np.cos(theta1*np.pi/180.)) + center[0],
           radius * (np.sin(theta1*np.pi/180.)) + center[1])
    pt2 = (radius * (np.cos(theta2*np.pi/180.)) + center[0],
           radius * (np.sin(theta2*np.pi/180.)) + center[1])
    pt3 = center
    pol = mpatches.Polygon([pt1, pt2, pt3], color=ax.get_axis_bgcolor(),
                           ec=ax.get_axis_bgcolor(), lw=2 )
    ax.add_patch(circ)
    ax.add_patch(pol)

and then you can call it:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,2)
filled_arc((0,0), 1, 45, 135, ax[0], "blue")
filled_arc((0,0), 1, 0, 40, ax[1], "blue")

and you get:

or:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
for i in range(0,360,45):
    filled_arc((0,0), 1, i, i+45, ax, plt.cm.jet(i))

and you get:

HTH

A: @jeanrjc's solution almost gets you there, but it adds a completely unnecessary white triangle, which will hide other objects as well (see figure below, version 1).
This is a simpler approach, which only adds a polygon of the arc:
Basically we create a series of points (points) along the edge of the circle (from theta1 to theta2). This is already enough, as we can set the close flag in the Polygon constructor which will add the line from the last to the first point (creating a closed arc).
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def arc_patch(center, radius, theta1, theta2, ax=None, resolution=50, **kwargs):
    # make sure ax is not empty
    if ax is None:
        ax = plt.gca()
    # generate the points
    theta = np.linspace(np.radians(theta1), np.radians(theta2), resolution)
    points = np.vstack((radius*np.cos(theta) + center[0],
                        radius*np.sin(theta) + center[1]))
    # build the polygon and add it to the axes
    poly = mpatches.Polygon(points.T, closed=True, **kwargs)
    ax.add_patch(poly)
    return poly

And then we apply it:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,2)

# @jeanrjc solution, which might hide other objects in your plot
ax[0].plot([-1,1],[1,-1], 'r', zorder = -10)
filled_arc((0.,0.3), 1, 90, 180, ax[0], 'blue')
ax[0].set_title('version 1')

# simpler approach, which really is just the arc
ax[1].plot([-1,1],[1,-1], 'r', zorder = -10)
arc_patch((0.,0.3), 1, 90, 180, ax=ax[1], fill=True, color='blue')
ax[1].set_title('version 2')

# axis settings
for a in ax:
    a.set_aspect('equal')
    a.set_xlim(-1.5, 1.5)
    a.set_ylim(-1.5, 1.5)

plt.show()

Result (version 2):

A: You can use fill_between to achieve this
 import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 import numpy as np

 fg, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)

 r=2.
 yoff=-1
 x=np.arange(-1.,1.05,0.05)
 y=np.sqrt(r-x**2)+yoff

 ax.fill_between(x,y,0)

 ax.axis([-2, 2, -2, 2])
 ax.set_aspect("equal")
 fg.canvas.draw()

Play around with r and yoff to move the arc

EDIT:
OK, so you want to be able to plot arbitrary angles? You just need to find the equation of the chord, rather than using a flat line like above. Here's a function to do just that:
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fg, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)

col='rgbkmcyk'

def filled_arc(center,r,theta1,theta2):

    # Range of angles
    phi=np.linspace(theta1,theta2,100)

    # x values
    x=center[0]+r*np.sin(np.radians(phi))

    # y values. need to correct for negative values in range theta=90--270
    yy = np.sqrt(r-x**2)
    yy = [-yy[i] if phi[i] > 90 and phi[i] < 270 else yy[i] for i in range(len(yy))]

    y = center[1] + np.array(yy)

    # Equation of the chord
    m=(y[-1]-y[0])/(x[-1]-x[0])
    c=y[0]-m*x[0]
    y2=m*x+c

    # Plot the filled arc
    ax.fill_between(x,y,y2,color=col[theta1/45])

# Lets plot a whole range of arcs
for i in [0,45,90,135,180,225,270,315]:
    filled_arc([0,0],1,i,i+45)

ax.axis([-2, 2, -2, 2])
ax.set_aspect("equal")
fg.savefig('filled_arc.png')

And here's the output:

A: The command ax.get_axis_bgcolor() needs to be replaced by ax.get_fc() for newer matplotlib.

Grace VanderWaal may have won season 11 of America's Got Talent, but it looks like she also won the heart of one of her pop idols.
The 12-year-old singer and ukeleleist took to Twitter on Friday, sharing an adorable video of herself getting the surprise of a lifetime from the one and only Taylor Swift.
In the cute clip, VanderWaal is standing next to a vase filled with a gigantic bouquet of purple flowers. Her emotions run wild as she starts to read the accompanying card, jumping up and down in excitement.
"Taylor Swift!" she exclaimed. "Taylor Swift sent me this!"
"Words can not explain how honored I am for this," the New York native later wrote in the caption. "Thank. You. SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! @taylorswift13."
Swift wasn't the only one putting an extra big smile on VanderWaal's face, however. Katy Perry was one of the first celebrities to send her a "congrats!" tweet.
WATCH: 'AGT' Winner Grace VanderWaal Gets Her Ultimate Wish!
"Congrats!" the "Rise" singer wrote. "You have it. Protect it and keep [play]ing and [writ]ing...it will always serve you."
"Thank you I love you so much," VanderWaal replied.
Meanwhile, Reese Witherspoon let the star in the making know she had been a fan since day one!
Since winning the reality competition show, VanderWaal hasn't been able to contain her excitement.
"My dream HAS really become a reality," she captioned a pic of herself and Howie Mandel, surrounded by celebratory confetti.
"Thank you so much to anybody who voted for me!!" another caption read. "You really made my dream come true and I've never been more thankful."
Moments after her victory, ET caught up with VanderWaal backstage, where she revealed she already has plans on how she'll spend her $1 million grand prize.

Q: How I make an addition of two numbers of 32 bits in Assembly using ADC? How I make an addition of two numbers of 32 bits in Assembly using ADC?

A: Assuming an 8 bit processor with ld, st, adc and add and index registers X & Y which point to the values to be added, result replaces *X:
ld 3,X
add 3,Y   ; The first add is without carry
st 3,X
ld 2,X
adc 2,Y   ; subsequent adds propagate carry.
st 2,X
ld 1,X
adc 1,Y
st 1,X
ld 0,X
adc 0,Y
st 0,X

A: ADC stands for "ADd with Carry", in fact it is like add two values and add again the value of the carry flag:
adc eax,ebx

is like:
add eax, ebx
add eax, cf

or:
add eax, ebx

People tend to throw in the towel on healthy eating around the holidays. For some it may start as early as Halloween with all the tempting candy, but for many the feasting often starts around Thanksgiving and just carries through to the New Year. We understand that leftovers, comfort foods, holiday parties and last-minute gift buying doesn't leave much time for healthy eating and exercise. That said there are ways to start off the New Year without having to resolve to lose the weight gained during November and December.
Here are some simple tips to navigate your holiday season successfully.
Determine what events are likely to trip you up and plan your strategy in advance. This might include avoiding alcohol, sticking to lower-calorie appetizers, bringing a dish you know you can eat or just keeping portions small. This will prevent you from going overboard. Don't be afraid to taste things without finishing them. Consider having a Zone snack just before a party to reduce your appetite later on.
Vowing to eliminate sweets or avoid tempting carbs may sound good in theory but can be brutally hard once you're at an event. Many people lose weight and keep it off with the simple strategy of portion control. Eat reasonably small portions, limit the foods you know you should limit, and don't stuff yourself.
Most of us know our "trigger" foods, those foods we just can't seem to control our intake of. They are so yummy yet lead us to feel guilty, tired, low energy, and wanting more. Abstaining from them all holiday season is unlikely, but keeping their intake to one or two events versus repeatedly throughout the season allows for a balance between moderation and overindulgence.
The "on"/"off" diet mentality can get us in a lot of trouble. Why? As soon as you go off diet, you give yourself permission to go from a taste of the pie to eating the whole thing. Don't set yourself up for disaster. Try to eliminate the all-or-nothing mentality by keeping portions small and indulgences in check.
Having small meals throughout the day helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Skipping meals in an effort to bank calories for later sounds good in theory, but this leads to greater consumption and overeating. By keeping your blood sugar steady throughout the day, you'll be surprised at the willpower you have to avoid tempting foods later. No time for meal prep? Substitute a meal with a ZoneRx shake to help reduce calorie overload later or eat a ZoneRx bar before going to a party so you are better able to control hunger and temptation.
A full salad-size plate looks like a lot of food and psychologically "feels" the same way. You can always go back for seconds or even thirds but doing so slows down the eating process, giving you more time to feel full. Or, if you do use a large plate, fill 2/3rds with vegetables.
If you pop something pickled or spicy in your mouth, you may find your cravings for sweets diminish. It's okay to indulge in the occasional sweet craving, but eat something spicy or pickled first, and you may find you no longer want to.
Often times water is replaced by caffeine around the holidays, leaving us mildly dehydrated and thinking we want food when in actuality we're just thirsty. Drinking water before a meal significantly curbs how much food we consume at the meal, so drink up! A slice of orange, lemon or lime will flavor the water and cut your cravings; flavored non-caloric seltzers accomplish the same thing.
A simple walk can be just the thing to increase your energy, reduce stress, and get your blood flowing. By being active in the morning, you'll improve your insulin sensitivity, making your body more ready to handle the calorie onslaught later that day and also eliminate some of the holiday stress.
While the holidays get crazy, try and keep as close to your usual eating routine as possible. Grocery shop on the weekends so you have meals for the week, pack your lunch for work, and have your usual breakfast and snacks with you for when you're on the go. This will allow you to have energy to keep up with the holiday excitement, while keeping your waistline in check by limiting the amount you have to eat out.
We understand that it may be difficult to avoid dessert altogether, so pick one and keep the portion small. One slice of pecan pie can be as much as 500 calories whereas pumpkin is around 300. Want to save some calories and carbs? Skip the crust. For example, if you like pumpkin pie eat the custard portion and skip the crust and whipped cream topping.
Eating slowly, putting your fork down between bites, and tasting each mouthful is one of the easiest ways to enjoy your meal and feel satisfied with one plate full of food. Choosing fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, salads, and other foods with lots of water and fermentable fiber add to the feeling of fullness. Spread out the food and fun all day long. After a big holiday dinner, consider serving dessert after a post-dinner group walk.
When you sit down at your holiday meals and events reach for the green vegetables first. These vegetables are rich in fermentable fiber so they help slow down digestion filling you up sooner. They are also low in calories and good for your gut too! Try broccoli, spinach, green beans, or any other non-starchy vegetable. Be careful of cream and/or fattening sauces with your veggies or substitute a heart healthy fat instead like Zone Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Call for Papers: "Film, public diplomacy and the Arab-Israeli conflict: Historical and international perspectives" Conference
By Llewella Chapman April 15, 2018 April 15, 2018 Call For Papers-Contributions
16-18 October 2018, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
Organisers:
Professor Tony Shaw, University of Hertfordshire, UK (a.t.shaw@herts.ac.uk)
Professor Nicholas Cull, University of Southern California, and President of the International Association for Media and History
Dr Giora Goodman, Kinneret College on the Sea of Galilee, Israel
An international conference on "Film, public diplomacy and the Arab-Israeli conflict: Historical and international perspectives" will be hosted by the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA on 16-18 October 2018. The conference is supported by the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, Kinneret College on the Sea of Galilee in Israel, the International Association for Media and History (IAMHIST), and at USC the Center on Public Diplomacy and Center for International Studies.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is seventy years old in 2018. Over the decades, a great many scholars and journalists have looked into the role that the news media have played in the conflict. By comparison, relatively few scholars have explored the part played by cinema. This conference focuses not only on film's part in the Arab-Israeli conflict but also on how film has interacted with public diplomacy and propaganda. The conference aims to go far beyond the examination of particular feature films and documentaries – though that is an essential dimension. It seeks to look "behind the scenes" to examine how governments and groups have used film as a publicity tool; to assess the role that actors, producers, agents and directors have played in the conflict both on and off the screen; and to consider cinema's political and cultural impact on the conflict.
Hollywood is obviously an important part of this story, and by holding the conference in Los Angeles we hope to involve contemporary filmmakers, diplomats and lobby organizations based in the city that are engaged in a variety of ways in the Arab-Israeli conflict. But the conference will look at how cinemas from different parts of the world have treated the Arab-Israeli conflict. This will enable comparative analysis and point to the part played by film in the international "war of images" that has surrounded the Arab-Israeli conflict since its inception.
Our approach is interdisciplinary, and we welcome proposals for papers from scholars of all fields, including History, Middle East studies, Israel studies, Public Diplomacy and Propaganda studies, International Affairs, Film studies, Literature, and the Social Sciences. Possible topics for panels and papers include but are not limited to:
Key feature films and documentaries about the Arab-Israeli conflict
Cinema's direct and oblique treatments of the conflict
National film industries' different takes on the conflict
Film activism
Film celebrity off-screen activism
Film as a public diplomacy and propaganda tool
Cinema and censorship/boycotts
Film and issues of image and Nation Brands
The working language of the conference will be English. We welcome individual proposals for 20-minute presentations, as well as 90-minute panels. Proposals for individual presentations should not exceed 300 words, while those for panels should be a maximum of 1000 words. All contributors should include a brief (250-300 word) autobiographical paragraph and the contributor's academic affiliation and email. All of this should be sent to Professor Tony Shaw at a.t.shaw@herts.ac.uk.
Deadline for abstracts: 30 June 2018.
Notification of acceptance: 31 July 2018.

Q: Salvando arquivos em txt com c++ Estou tentando criar um programa que salva os dados armazenados com hash em 4 arquivos txt diferentes, conforme for o índice do hash ele escolhe o arquivo que deve salvar.
exemplo:
hash índice 0 = txt_0.txt
hash índice 1 = txt_1.txt
hash índice 2 = txt_2.txt
hash índice 3 = txt_3.txt

Então criei um for que percorre tudo a minha lista, e criei um literator para poder resgatar os dados da lista e salvar no txt, o problema e que ele só salva se eu cadastro um depois salvo, se cadastro 2 ele só salva o ultimo cadastrado.
void func_arquivo::cria_arquivo(int código, int idade, string nome, int     indice){
ofstream arquivo;
for(int i=0;i<TAM;i++){
    char nome_arquivo[FILENAME_MAX];//usado para que a função consiga escrever todos os nomes dentro do char se nao ele nao comporta
    sprintf(nome_arquivo, "Data-%d.txt",i);//função que realiza conversao de inteiros para char
    arquivo.open(nome_arquivo, ios::app);

    if(indice == i){
        arquivo << codigo << "\t" << idade << "\t" <<  nome << "\n";
    }
    arquivo.close();
 }
}

Este é o código que escreve no txt.

Some of our planet's most impressive animals are under threat today. The rhino, tiger and panda have become poster children for global extinction campaigns. The reality, however, is that the extinction of the humble bee (as pollinators) holds far worse consequences for our entire ecosystem.
We hijacked these familiar faces of extinction to highlight the plight of the bees in a campaign for the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel that seeked to raise environmental awareness of the issue with their local and international guests.
Our message was quite simply this: We lose the bees, we lose everything.
For maximum impact, we used the subject of the campaign (dead bees) as the medium to create large format artworks. Tens of thousands of dead bees from infected Cape hives were collected, dried, sorted and carefully fixed onto canvas. In this way, our very cause became the ink in our pens, the typeface for our words and the paintbrush for our design.

CVS Deal - Last Day!
I was on a coupon-induced high when I left Target, so I decided to go by CVS and see if they had restocked the Preperation H Wipes for the ECBs deal, but they hadn't. Fortunately, they did have a bunch of Hershey's Drops!
I used a $1 ECB from last time, so I paid $5.60 but I received $3 ECBs back :) So, if you subtract the ECBs I got, the bags cost $0.90 each! Not bad for candy that is normally $3.49 per bag :) And my hubs loves em.

The Regional Commission is working with a stakeholder committee composed of local governments, non-profits, paddlers, fishermen, local outfitters and watershed groups to develop the Roanoke River Blueway, a 45-mile water trail on the upper Roanoke River. A blueway (also known as a water trail, paddle trail, or float trail) is a navigable waterway with sufficient capacity (flow, depth, and width) for successful progress of canoes, kayaks and other non-motorized vessels, with sufficient access and amenities to facilitate other recreational uses of the waterway. The Roanoke River Blueway flows through or borders the Cities of Roanoke and Salem, the Counties of Montgomery, Roanoke, Bedford, and Franklin, and the Town of Vinton, providing river access for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, tubing, wading, wildlife viewing, and other recreational opportunities. The Blueway also connects to numerous local parks; Roanoke River Greenway, Tinker Creek Greenway and Mill Mountain Greenway; Blue Ridge Parkway; Explore Park; Smith Mountain Lake; and businesses proximate to the river.
The overall goal of the Roanoke River Blueway project is to facilitate and encourage recreational use of the Upper Roanoke River and tributaries by residents and visitors. Additionally, the project seeks to encourage watershed awareness and sustainable stewardship of the region's water resources. To date, the Roanoke River Blueway stakeholder group has developed a website, interactive and printable maps, brochure, and other information to facilitate the safe and enjoyable use of the blueway including river access descriptions, hazards and portages, recommended minimum and maximum streamflow levels, contact information, and links to useful websites.
Moving forward, the Regional Commission, local governments, and the Roanoke River Blueway stakeholder group will work to improve and promote the blueway; seek grant funding and other financial support; work with local outfitters, businesses, and other entities to promote the blueway and increase river related recreation and tourism; and increase watershed awareness.

Would a Clay Tinted Shoulder Work Here?
Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia has recently added clay colored surface treatment to the shoulder to allow traffic to use the shoulder during rush hour. It is difficult to explain how this works in words so here is a video from a TV station in the area.
Do you think that such an approach would work in the Roanoke Valley?
Would it work in the future when there is more traffic?
Would it work on I-81?
Would it work on I-581?
Would it introduce safety issues our area?
Would it provide any spillover benefits such as saving money, or making the area look more urban and advanced to visitors and economic development prospects?
Please answer these questions and provide your own ideas in the comment boxes below. Let's get a conversation going.

Menopause 'can lead to marriage breakdowns', poll warns
How the menopause might ruin your MARRIAGE: Seven in ten women with marital difficulties say going through 'the change' put extra strain on their relationship, finds poll
Poll of 1,000 women found 70% blamed their divorce on menopause symptoms
Menopause can cause hot flushes, mood swings, weight gain and reduced libido
Majority said their marriage could of been saved by better menopause treatment
Hot flushes, mood swings and reduced libido may not only be classic symptoms of the menopause.
But a divorce might be another, a poll suggests.
Seven out of 10 women with marital difficulties — such as being divorced or going through a separation — blamed going through 'the change' for their love woes.
Some claimed their situation triggered more arguments and even left them victims of domestic abuse.
The respondents did not detail why they thought menopause had such a negative effect on their marriage.
But common symptoms of the condition, like mood swings, reduced sex drive, and increased irritability from a lack of sleep could partly be to blame for putting relationships under duress.
Seven out of 10 divorced women say their menopause symptoms contributed to their divorce with most saying their marriages may have been saved if they had got better treatment for the condition
Only a third of the women surveyed said they have been offered treatment such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help relieve their menopause symptoms.
And the majority thought that getting support or treatment could have potentially saved their marriage.
The findings were based on a poll of 1,000 women who were divorced or currently separating, conducted by the Family Law Menopause Project and Newson Health Research and Education.
All women had likewise either gone through or were going through the menopause.
Menopause occurs when a woman stops having periods, meaning she is no longer able to get pregnant naturally.
The process — triggered by the ovaries producing less oestrogen — is a natural part of ageing and usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.
All you need to know about the menopause
Menopause is when a woman stops having periods naturally and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally.
It is a normal part of ageing and usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55 when a woman's levels of the sex hormone oestrogen drop.
Eight in 10 women will experience menopausal symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, difficulty sleeping, low mood or anxiety and problems with memory.
Women are advised to see their GP if their symptoms are difficult to manage.
Treatments doctors can provide include hormone replacement therapy, such as tablets, skin patches and gels that replace oestrogen.

HRT is one way of treating the symptoms. It restores the levels of female hormones, bringing relief to hundreds of thousands of women each year.
Dr Louise Newson, a GP and menopause specialist, who runs Newson Health, said the mental aspects of the change were frequently overlooked.
'Whilst the physical symptoms of the menopause are well-known and often discussed, the mental health impact is often ignored and can be catastrophic for many women, having a deeply negative effect on their work, relationships and finances as a result,' she said.
Farhana Shahzady, founder of the Family Law Menopause Project, added the survey was concerning given how menopause also damaged women's savings and income, which could add further hardship to a divorce.
'Of deep concern to me is that more than half of the respondents said perimenopause or menopause had (or will) make it harder for them to save for retirement and/or reduce their ability to save into pensions,' she said.
'This means that women may face real financial hardship as they approach retirement, post-divorce/separation.'
The poll was carried online via Dr Newson's website and the Family Law Menopause Project.
It comes as the International Menopause Society (IMS) published research raising awareness of brain fog in both menopause and perimenopause.
It said symptoms include difficulty remembering words and numbers, forgetting where objects were placed, trouble concentrating, difficulty switching between tasks as well as forgetting appointments and events.
According to the IMS, scientists believe that memory complaints may be caused by rising and falling hormones levels, especially oestrogen, and by hot flushes, sleep disturbances and changes in mood.
Dr Nicole Jaff, co-author of the paper, said: 'Research studies find that a woman's memory does change at menopause and "brain fog" is common.
'While this can temporarily affect a woman's quality of life, the good news is that symptoms are generally mild and resolve post-menopause,' she said.
'Women are often concerned that these memory issues are an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease or dementia, but these conditions are very rare in midlife.
'Women should be reassured that most memory problems before and during menopause will typically get better over time.'
Access to HRT has been hit and miss for many women over the past year, with tens of thousands struggling to get hold of the medication due to supply shortages.
While supplies have improved since the start of September, a dozen or so products are still classified as being in severe shortage by the NHS.
This classification limits pharmacists to only issue out three months worth of supply and allow them to provide alternative medications if they are out of a particular brand.
The serious shortage protocols are set to be reviewed on October 28.

Mating season is upon us, and the male Bluebird is doing his darndest to capture the attention and win the affection of his female counterpart.
…and frantically twirling his wings, which must have some sort of flirtatious significance in Bluebird behavior since he does this quite often in her presence.
He has also presented three different housing options to her, which was highly entertaining to watch – think House Hunters: Bluebird Edition.
…while she waits and watches his antics, and (in my opinion) gives him cause to believe his affections are returned. I mean, doesn't that stance look a wee bit seductive?
In the end, I think it will be the frequent food offerings he brings her that will seal the deal.
Besides, she'd be a fool to let such a charming fellow fly away.
Attentive, generous, and easy on the eyes…this guy really is the total package!
