[Monthly restday, Cocoa Beach, USA].
I have tried to give a little photo-impression of a laid back Florida beach city as I experiensed it during this restday. As often when running in the Usa, just as when running across the continent in 2005, then the contrasts often are one of the defining things. Here, for example the rich tourists (not me and my supportdriver ! ;-), the japanese, chinese and european; the locals well off'; taking a stroll along the mall's and shining shopping centres. And a person overnighting on the beach in a sleeping bag with not much more than a set of clothes and a meal to make it through the day.
Tomorrow - I'll be back running, and with a little bit of political science or history view' since that's the day of vote in Florida in the republican caucas election ! Very interesting for a political scientist from europe to see up close..

Q: How to generate locale properties file from my Messages interface? I am implementing an internationalized GWT application at the moment. I read the related documentation and have created the necessary interface that extends com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Messages. I'd like to use MD5 key generation. The methods are annotated like this:
@DefaultMessage("Demo")
@Description("A menu item's label")
@Meaning("Nothing special so far")
String bucketDemo();

How could I automatically generate the translatable .properties files based on the interface? I see that i18nCreator is for generating the interface and the properties file the same time.

A: OMG, I missed the point that this file is automatically generated by the GWT Compiler.. :-)

Q: Breaking the equation inside a fraction I am trying to write this equation using the help provided in the link below
How to break a long expression in the denominator of a fraction?
Still the equation goes outside the margin. I using \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}.
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{mathtools}
%opening
\title{}
\author{}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
\end{abstract}

\section{}

\begin{equation*}
-\dfrac{1}{128\pi^{2}}\left[\dfrac{\splitdfrac{4(m_1 + m_3)\cos~\delta~\sin\theta_{12}~\sin\theta_{13}(\cos~\delta~\cos~\theta_{12}(2~y_e^{2}
- y_\mu^{2} - y_\tau^{2} +(y_\mu^{2} - y_\tau^{2})\cos~2\theta_{23})\sin~\theta_{13}}{+ (-y_\mu^{2} + y_\tau^{2})\sin~
\theta_{12}~\sin~2\theta_{23}}}{m_1 - m_3}\right] +
\end{equation*}
\end{document}

A: The problem is that the only item getting placed in the lower half of the \splitdfrac was the + symbol, and everything else was being placed on a single line. It's easier to see in a screenshot of the fraction (this was taken in landscape):

Look at how the + appears to be typeset below everything else, and then the rest of the numerator continues on a different baseline.
Here's a cleaned up version of the code, that is hopefully a little easier to read/follow and compiles to a slightly less wide/more compact fraction:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{mathtools}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
  -\frac{1}{128 \pi^2}
  \left[
    \frac{
      \splitfrac{
        4 (m_1+m_3) \cos\delta \sin\theta_{12} \sin\theta_{13}
        (\cos\delta \cos\theta_{12} (2\,y_e^2 - y_\mu^2 - y_\tau^2
      }{
        + (y_\mu^2 - y_\tau^2) \cos 2\theta_{23})) \sin\theta_{13}
        + (-y_\mu^2 + y_\tau^2) \sin\theta_{12} \sin 2\theta_{23}
      }
    }{
      m_1 - m_3
    }
  \right]
\end{equation}

\end{document}

Here's a screenshot of the new equation:

And some other comments:

*

*As David Carlisle says in the comments, you should be using \sin or \cos for math operators; not just typing out the words in italic maths font. Additionally, don't use non-breaking spaces (the tildes ~) in maths mode. Instead, consider using maths-spaces (such as the thin space \, that I've used above).

*Consider breaking your fraction up into multiple lines, to make it easier to read and debug. That was the first thing I did, and then the out-of-place + leapt out at me. The scheme above perhaps isn't perfect, but I claim it's better than a single monolithic line.

*You don't need curly braces around exponents with a single character (e.g. y^2 rather than y^{2}). Again, might make things easier to read (but that's a personal preference).

A: Here, I suggest an alternative to avoid the ugly split numerator.
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[usestackEOL]{stackengine}
\stackMath
\begin{document}

\Shortstack[r]{Q =

\cos \delta \cos \theta_{12}(2 y_e^{2} - y_\mu^{2} - y_\tau^{2}\\ +(y_\mu^{2} -y_\tau^{2})\cos 2\theta_{23})\sin \theta_{13} +
(-y_\mu^{2} + y_\tau^{2})\sin
\theta_{12} \sin 2\theta_{23})}
\]

\end{document}

A:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\dfrac{1}{128\pi^{2}}
\left[\dfrac{\splitdfrac{
4(m_1 + m_3)\cos \delta \sin\theta_{12} \sin\theta_{13}(
\cos \delta \cos \theta_{12}(2 y_e^{2} - y_\mu^{2} - y_\tau^{2}}{ +(y_\mu^{2} -y_\tau^{2})\cos 2\theta_{23})\sin \theta_{13} +
(-y_\mu^{2} + y_\tau^{2})\sin
\theta_{12} \sin 2\theta_{23})}}
{m_1 - m_3}\right]
\end{equation}

\end{document}

A: To make it easier on your readers to parse the many terms in the numerator, you may want to break the entire expression across three lines. Note also that I have -- like the other responders too -- replaced all Sin and Cos occurrences with \sin and \cos and have deleted all ~ spacer elements.

Where Were The Other 431 Members Of Congress?
Last week, after being rebuffed in their attempt to see some of the alleged participants in the January 6 Capitol riot being held incommunicado at the DC Jail, Republican Reps. Louie
Gohmert (Tex.), Paul A. Gosar (Ariz.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) met with the media in front of the U.S. Capitol.
"The supervisor came down and was standing right here and turned her back on me. The other one said she won't talk anymore and that we're trespassers," Gohmert said in comments to the press after the situation. "We're in totalitarian, Marxist territory here. This is the way third-world people get treated," he added.
Footage showed Gohmert, of Texas, and Greene, of Georgia, being intercepted by a guard while they tried to enter the building. According to reporting by Georgia Simcox of the UK's Daily Mail, the group of House Republicans were accused of trespass while trying to visit some of the people held over the January 6 Capitol riots.
The conservative Republican legislators were told they were obstructing the entrance to the facility, and Greene told the group she has "great concerns" if the attitude is any indication of how they're treating their prisoners inside.
Gohmert said: "If they can consider us trespassers — [we] fund this facility, have top-secret clearance... We do inspect facilities, and I've never, ever — in the years I've been in Congress — ever run into an issue like this until this administration took over."
You can see some of the interaction between Rep. Matt Gaetz and DC Jail employees through this link to the video:
https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/2021/07/30/1998299073265352948/636x382_MP4_1998299073265352948.mp4 And Rep. Louie Gohmert's comments at the DC Jail in this video:
During the press conference after the incident, Gaetz said the Representatives are concerned detainees are lacking access to evidence and concerned about their treatment, which is why they showed up at the facility to get a tour.
"How does the Biden administration expect us to participate in the representative republic when they deprive us of access to information?" Gaetz asked. "The questions we've asked have gone unanswered for months … What is Merrick Garland hiding?"
Taylor-Greene later called it an "abomination" during the press conference the representatives held after being denied entry, adding, "We went to this prison today as members of Congress to give oversight to a federal prison because we suspect there is a two-tiered justice system in the United States."
Reps. Gohmert, Gosar, Gaetz, and Taylor Greene are, of course, right about there being a two-tiered system of justice in America, and one would think that all 435 Members of the House of Representatives would be equally concerned.
As our friend Rick Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government told Right Side News:
Because liberty matters. People's due process rights matter. Reports of treatment coming out of the DC Jail are reprehensible. The only disappointment about this press conference is there weren't 435 Members of Congress standing here, rather than four, because it takes a great deal of courage for those four members to stand up and say something's wrong. We have to make certain that individual liberties are applied to everybody equally. Otherwise, we're nothing more than a dictatorship.
We're hearing that people are in isolation. We know that one of the prisons, one of the guards that came out and whispered under their breath the words, "white supremacist." So you can imagine what kind of treatment you'd get from a guard who looks at you as "other" and who wants to take away your rights. The fact they won't open up their system to evaluation by the people who have congressional oversight is a crime. It's a violation of their basic trust.
Given that Democrats and their media allies have done everything in their considerable power to create and drive the narrative that the January 6 riot was an "insurrection," it is obvious that the Democratic Party is the author of their inhumane treatment. So, we should not be surprised that they aren't worried about the treatment of the Jan. 6 detainees.
What is astonishing, however, is that the other 208 House Republicans weren't at the DC Jail or at least out in front of the U.S. Capitol to join Reps. Gohmert, Gosar, Gaetz, and Taylor Greene in demanding that the Jan. 6 detainees receive the same humane treatment and constitutional rights to a speedy trial, habeas corpus, effective legal counsel, a fair and impartial venue and the opportunity to see and challenge the evidence against them that any other defendant would receive.
The toll-free Capitol Switchboard is (1-866-220-0044) we urge CHQ readers and friends to contact their Representative to demand that he or she join Reps. Gohmert, Gosar, Gaetz, and Taylor Greene and get in the fight against the two-tiered system of justice being applied to those accused of participating in the January 6 Capitol riot.

Book Review: The Called
Happy Sunday Blogosphere!
After some quiet time to myself I'm back with another book review!
This time I read the new release The Called by M.D. Neu, book two of the duology.
I've read pretty much everything Neu has written, so I'm definitely in the fan category.
So what did I think of this book? Keep on scrolling, peeps!
The world is changing quickly for Chris now that he's part of the Immortal Community. With the events of his past finally behind him, he's still having visions and true magic is gradually taking hold in the world. Chris is still new and has no real standing in the Immortal Community, but he is learning that nothing is what he thought.
Old enemies must work together and longtime friends may not be trustworthy. With Juliet, Amanda, and Kirtus by his side, they have to prevent the immortal and witch community from being exposed.
New friendships are made, and longtime alliances are called into question. How will The Called defeat these latest threats, and what does it mean for the world?
***Brief disclosure***
I am an Amazon affiliate and earn a tiny commission for purchases made through the Amazon links in this post. It's a great way to help me keep things running on my blog if you're already intrigued enough to make a purchase.
The Review:
I was extremely conflicted coming up with a final rating for this book, but ended up at a three and a half.
Following the events of The Calling, Chris is still adjusting to being a vampire and all that entails. But when he has a terrifying vision of a violent future, he must convince the others that what he saw is a serious threat, one that may destroy them all.
This book was a mixed bag for me, but I ultimately enjoyed the experience. Some things worked for me, others not as much.
First off, the characters. Chris is the MC and a good hero to root for. He worries quite a lot in this book (maybe a bit much), but it's warranted given his ability to see the future and his being new to the vampire world. I do think his POV gravitated a bit too much on the details of architecture and other minute details here and there, but overall it was easy to see where he was coming from. I specifically enjoyed his continued romance with Kirtus and where things went with him.
There were a lot of other characters in this book, but it wasn't hard for me to remember who they all were from the first book. That being said, I highly recommend reading the first book before this one to avoid any confusion as to who is who and get a real feel for them.
The plot was exciting! I mean, horrible visions of death and destruction? Sign me up! We get to know a bit more about the vampire world and its workings in this novel, and I enjoyed that. We are also introduced to more supernatural elements this time and that was pretty great too. I will say, I wanted a little bit more action throughout, though I do favor insanely fast-paced reads for the most part. Also, I feel that the buildup was really good for the main plot point, but the resolution came a bit too early and I felt that the last 15-20% of the book was an extended epilogue of sorts.
One last thing to note of was I did see a lot of typos throughout, though more in the first half. This could be due to the fact that I read an ARC copy, but there were enough typos for me to make mention of here. It wasn't terrible, but it did take me out of the story here and there.
Overall, this was a fun romp into the chaotic world of The Calling, with plenty of mystery, plot turns, and vampey goodness to keep me entertained.
***I received an ARC copy of this book in return for an honest, unbiased review.***
That's a Wrap!
Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!

It's tough when you get stuck between two different star ratings. Gotta go with the half star! Good review!
Yeah, this was a tough decision, especially since I know him personally. In the end, honesty is the best policy.
Thanks Priscilla!
M.D. Neu
Thanks for the great review. I'm glad you enjoyed it the book overall. I'm sorry about all the typos. I'm happy to report that with luck we found them all and made the adjustments before the book went live.
Thanks Marvin! I'm glad you guys were able to catch em. I know how pesky those typo gremlins can be!

Globally, some advancements regarding women's rights has been achieved. In Solomon Islands, domestic violence legislation is in place to protect women. Proportion of women aged 20-24 years old who were married or in union before age 18 is 21.3%. As of February 2019, 2% of parliament seats are held by women.
However, work still needs to be done in Solomon Islands to achieve gender equality. Adolescent birth rate is 78 per 1000 population as of 2013, up from 61.6 per 1000 population in 2009. In 2008, 41% of women aged 15-49 years reported that they had been subject to physical and/or sexual violence by a current or former intimate partner in the previous 12 months. Moreover, women of reproductive age (aged 15-49 years) often face barriers with respect to their sexual and reproductive health and rights: despite progress, the proportion of women who have their need for family planning satisfied with modern methods in 2007 year stood at 38%.

Fact is, juice cleanses don't really work. You've heard celebrities and health nuts talk about them, but do they really know what they're talking about?
Juice Cleanses claim to rid the body of toxins and encourage weight loss but experts disagree with those claims.
Although 40% of people have tried juice cleanses, experts question their effectiveness and safety. They say, the human body already has a pretty good filtering system built in. The liver and kidneys do a more than adequate job. Plus, existing on nothing but juice for an extended period of time is may leave the body lacking of nutrients. And if you do it with the anticipation of losing weight, won't happen. Any weight loss is only temporary.
While some experts say that cleansing for a short period of time (like a few days) is safe, anything more than that could put your health at risk.

On 25 May 2018, the world did not stop simply because the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became enforceable. For many organizations, however, the enforcement date became a distraction, an unofficial deadline. In reality, there was no finish line.
We all recall the panic-driven deluge of marketing consent emails from companies this past summer – some we engaged with, many we forgot about and others we never even noticed. That deluge has now slowed down to a trickle.
Also, noticeably quieter are the salespeople peddling "GDPR-compliant" and "one-size-fits-all" solutions. Foreboding news headlines no longer scream about fines of up to 20 million EUR or 4% of total worldwide annual turnover for the slightest misdemeanor.
Three-plus months on from the enforcement deadline, here are a few observations and reflections on how organizations are adjusting to life under the new European privacy and data protection regime.
#1: Business as usual for some?
It would be inaccurate to say that organizations have quickly thrown off the restraints placed on them by the GDPR regarding the processing of personal data. However, it would be equally inaccurate to claim that poor data protection practices have been fully discarded and that we are now living in an era where organizations treat our personal data appropriately.
For Europeans at least, there is evidence of some change in behavior from large technology and global marketing companies, some of whom are already under scrutiny by regulators. For some other organizations, however, GDPR fatigue has begun to set in and organizational priorities are shifting from expensive programs to other hot-button enterprise risk issues.
However, having controls by themselves without a plan to assure that their design and operating effectiveness achieves the desired control objectives is half-hearted. Weak governance and the absence of privacy assurance programs increases the risk of a return to the past.
In reality, control effectiveness cannot be fully determined until after a designated cycle of operation. It may take at least one year before we start to see true changes in organizational attitudes toward data protection.
Forward-thinking organizations saw GDPR compliance as an opportunity to return to the drawing board and, in some cases, revisit their approach toward enterprise risk management.
Far from simply fulfilling a checklist of requirements, some organizations used their GDPR compliance programs to test the alignment between their operational risk, information security, IT governance and privacy functions.
This also was an opportunity to embed privacy risk into enterprise risk management frameworks, check the health of three-lines-of-defense models, adjust risk tolerance levels and develop new key risk indicators (KRIs) to provide end-to-end assurance.
Where new privacy risk management processes (such as steering committees) have been implemented, they will need time to develop traction. In the long term, the right approach could see organizations improving the maturity of their data protection controls while also improving their overall enterprise risk posture.
Depending on who you spoke to, the increased public awareness of privacy rights enshrined in the GDPR would unleash an avalanche of data subject access requests (SARs) from incentivized or incensed data subjects.
Executives feared that customers, disgruntled employees and coordinated activists flexing their new regulation-enabled muscles would bombard their service desks with requests seeking to enforce rights of access, erasure and others.
The term 'SAR-pocalypse' (a hypothetical denial-of-service scenario caused by an organization's inability to manage an excessive volume of SARs) was whispered in hushed tones with real concerns that failing to deal with requests within the required period could attract penalties.
In the weeks just before and after the enforcement deadline, many organizations did in fact see a sharp rise in the number of data subjects requests they received. However, many of those requests originated from people annoyed with the panic mass mailing campaigns in the weeks prior to the enforcement date. Understandably, many of the requests were for erasure and account deletion.
A retail organization I spoke with noted a higher-than-usual volume of requests in the weeks leading up to 25 May. Requests to be erased reached an all-time peak in the weeks following. However, by mid-June, those numbers had begun to drop. By the end of August, request volumes had returned to pre-25 May levels.
I am yet to hear of any organizations admitting that their service desks have toppled over due to a flood of SARs. However, organizations should not trivialize the need to keep their personal data flows up-to-date and to keep testing the effectiveness of their process for responding to SARs and other GDPR-related queries.
'Data Breach Scapegoats Wanted!', wrote one satirical industry commentator on social media.
While Europe's regulators adjust their oversight machinery to be able to effectively police the GDPR, there is a collective holding of breath by organizations waiting to see what precedents will be set with post-25 May financial penalties.
Perhaps the most high-profile data privacy related incident to hit the headlines since the GDPR enforcement deadline was the one involving the infamous Cambridge Analytica. For its part in the scandal (which preceded the 25 May enforcement date), the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) fined Facebook £500,000 (the maximum fine under the old UK Data Protection Act 1998).
Data privacy breaches continue to be reported, and post-25 May, the UK regulator has continued to take enforcement action against erring organizations. For example, British Telecommunications plc (BT) was fined £77,000 (hardly 4% of their global annual turnover) for sending nuisance emails to customers.
When scrutinized through the lens of Article 83 ("Each supervisory authority shall ensure that the imposition of administrative fines...in respect of infringements...shall in each individual case be effective, proportionate and dissuasive"), it might be a while before a "GDPR-scale" maximum penalty is imposed on any organization.
The absence of scapegoats may be because Europe's regulators are either overwhelmed with data subject complaints or simply biding their time until they find the right opportunity to set a dissuasive precedent.
Rather than waiting for precedents and second-guessing regulators, organizations should continue to improve their incident prevention, detection and response procedures while maintaining a state of readiness for potential data breaches.
#5: After the hype, what comes next?
As the GDPR hype starts to wane, organizations should not lose sight of the wider benefits that can be derived from an improved attitude toward data protection.
For example, there will continue to be opportunities to improve data governance and unlock business insights from the personal data they lawfully process if organizations maintain their discipline around personal data collection and processing.
As informed consumers continue to exercise their enhanced consent rights under the GDPR, available inventories of user data are likely to come under pressure. By focusing on data quality (including processing data that is "adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary") rather than scale, organizations can improve engagement at different points within the customer journey.
The Privacy & Electronic Communications Regulations (soon to be ePrivacy Regulation) remains a hot topic and the next keenly anticipated regulation from Europe. Correctly implementing GDPR requirements should have placed most organizations in a good position to adopt the requirements within the ePrivacy regulation.
While senior executive support for GDPR remains warm, Data Protection Officers need to test their newly minted powers and ensure that their independence (including avoiding conflicts of interest with other tasks and duties) goes beyond qualities and responsibilities listed in a job description.
The reality for many organizations is that GDPR program funding and resources will move elsewhere. Data privacy champions will change roles. Vendors will come and go. Applications will be developed and retired. Meanwhile, more countries and jurisdictions (like California) are likely to strengthen their own data privacy laws. The journey never ends.
Somewhere in all of this, care must be taken to avoid the slow erosion of data protection controls arising from negligence and poor governance and a return to the old ways. Seeing the GDPR not as a checklist but as an opportunity to transform corporate attitudes and embed good data protection practices will help organizations thrive under the new privacy regime in the long-term.

Mentally, I'm exhausted, I don't feel I have a challenge. Physically, I feel great. The last time in 1993 I had other agendas. I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it. And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.
Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted. I didn't know if I would play next year. I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season. And Jerry, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.
I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach. And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time, mentally finding the challenge for myself. Although he can somehow present challenges for me. I don't know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season." Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired. So I can't say that he would have restored that.
I will support the Chicago Bulls. I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan. I've been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor, Jerry West. These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity. Mr Stern and what he's done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball. I played it to the best I could play it, I tried to enhance the game itself. I've tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.

WWE Confirms SummerSlam Will Not Take Place In Boston
In not so surprising news, WWE has confirmed that SummerSlam will not take place in Boston this year.
Boston was set to host four nights of WWE actions with SmackDown, NXT TakeOver, SummerSlam, and Raw taking place at the TD Garden from August 21 to August 24. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, arenas have not opened back up for fans and it is unknown when that will happen.

As a result, SummerSlam has officially been moved out of Boston. WWE did not announce a new location, but said information regarding the location is forthcoming. All events since the pandemic started have taken place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
In coordination with our local partners, government officials and TD Garden, WWE's SummerSlam and related events will no longer take place in Boston. Refunds are available at the original point of purchase. We are grateful to the city of Boston for their longstanding partnership and look forward to holding WWE events at TD Garden in the future.
SummerSlam will stream live on Sunday, August 23, at 7 p.m. ET on WWE Network, and information regarding a new location for the event is forthcoming.
On Wednesday, WWE announced NXT TakeOver: Boston would be rebranded as NXT TakeOver XXX with the event still taking place on August 22. You can find more information by clicking here.

Q: Estimate for weak $L^{1}$ norm Let the weak $L^{1}$ norm on $f$ be defined by $\|f\|_{\mathrm{WL}^{1}} = \sup_{t > 0}t D_{f}(t)$ where $D_{f}(t) = \mu(\{x \in \mathbb{R}: |f(x)| > t\})$ and $\mu$ is the standard Lebesgue measure.
Consider the $N!$ functions on $[0, 1]$ defined by $$f_{\sigma} = \sum_{j = 1}^{N}\frac{N}{\sigma(j)}\chi_{[(j - 1)/N, j/n)}$$ where $\sigma$ is a permutation of $\{1, 2, \ldots, N\}$. Why is $$\left\lVert \sum_{\sigma \in S_{N}}f_{\sigma}\right\rVert_{\mathrm{WL}^{1}} = N!(1 + 1/2 + \cdots + 1/N)?$$

A: Rearranging terms in the sum $\sum_{\sigma} f_\sigma$, one sees that every interval $\left[\frac{j-1}{N}, \frac{j}{N}\right)$ appears exactly once in any summand $f_\sigma$, each time with weight $N/\sigma(j)$. So the sum $\sum_\sigma f_\sigma$ is equal to the constant function $\sum_\sigma \frac{N}{\sigma(j)}$.
It remains to compute the sum. When $\sigma$ runs over all permutations, $\sigma(j)$ takes all values $1, 2\ldots N$, and each value is repeated $(N-1)!$ times. Therefore
$$\sum_{\sigma\in S_N} \frac{1}{\sigma(j)}=(N-1)!\left( 1+\frac{1}{2}+\dots+\frac{1}{N}\right).$$
To conclude one only needs to observe that the weak $L^1$ norm of a constant function $f\equiv C$ defined on an interval of unit length is exactly $\lvert C\rvert$.

LIttle Known Black History Month: William Peyton Hubbard
D.L. Chandler
https://blackamericaweb.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/102116lkbhf.mp3
William Peyton Hubbard, the first notable Black elected official in Toronto, and will be honored this weekend with the unveiling of a park in his name. Hubbard, the son of slaves, came to politics when he was in his fifties.
Hubbard was born in 1842 in an area just outside of Toronto known as "The Bush," to parents who escaped slavery from Virginia via the Underground Railroad. As a young man, Hubbard was trained as a baker for 16 years and later worked for his uncle's horse-drawn taxi service. It was Hubbard's heroics while working as a cabbie that would change his fortunes.
During a trip, Hubbard rescued newspaper publisher George Brown from a cab that was close to falling into the Don River. A grateful Brown repaid his debt by making Hubbard his personal driver and encouraging Hubbard to consider public office. After a failed first bid for alderman, Hubbard was elected to represent one of Toronto's wealthiest districts in 1894 at the age of 52.
Known as a skilled speaker and reformer, Hubbard worked hard as an advocate of the people and did his best to unify Ward 4 and all of Toronto. Realizing that his voice was best used to articulate the will of the people, Hubbard's devotion to public duty led to him being elected 15 times to City Council. In 1904, Hubbard became the first and only person of color to win a city-wide election in Toronto's history. So popular and trusted was Hubbard that he also served as acting mayor at varying points.
As Canada's first visible minority on the elected level, Hubbard used his influence to help establish the Toronto Hydro company and opposed the privatization of city services and believed the electorate should wield more power. The Black population in Toronto was sparse and largely ignored, but Hubbard realized the power of his position and did not shy away from the connection to his people.
After he left public office in 1914 to care for his wife, conditions in Toronto declined for its Black citizens. The city continues to struggle with strained race relations despite the influx of Black and other immigrants of color that have called Toronto home.
This Saturday, Hubbard Park will be opened in honor of the great alderman at the site of the Don Jail.

Coral Reef Bleaching, Doppler Radar, Fish and Animal Kills, Human Illness, Microwave Radiation
Where There is Glow, You Will Know
Vieques Island, PR. Electromagnetic radiation from the atmosphere & radars, captured by the waves around her, cause stress on algae that then glows. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO THERE… The only other place that glows that much is the Indian River Lagoon….
While infant mortality rates have been decreasing on the main island, in Vieques they are increasing. The people of Vieques have a 30% higher rate of cancer, a 381% higher rate of hypertension, a 95% higher rate of cirrhosis of the liver, and a 41% higher rate of diabetes than the inhabitants of Puerto Rico's main island. When they become ill with cancer, Viequenses must travel hours by ferry and bus to the main island for chemotherapy because there are no clinics on Vieques that offer treatment. The Navy ignores reliable scientific data
Dead/Diseased/Dissolved Coral in Shallow Areas due to pulsed electromagnetic radiation
The former U.S. Navy range at Vieques Island (Puerto Rico, United States) is now the largest national wildlife refuge in the Caribbean. We investigated the geomorphology and benthic assemblage structure to understand the status of the coral reefs. Coral assemblages were quantified at 24 sites at Vieques and at 6 sites at St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. These sites were chosen to represent the major zones of reef geomorphology. Sites consisted of two or three 21-m-long photo-quadrate belt transects. The results revealed surprisingly little differentiation in the coral assemblages within and between reefs of comparable geomorphological and oceanographic setting at Vieques and St. Croix. At Vieques, the Acropora palmata zone was almost completely lost, and it was severely reduced at St. Croix, presumably primarily due to diseases and hurricane impacts since the 1970s. Subtle, but nonsignificant, differences with respect to the nature of the shelf margin (north adjacent to the bank, south adjacent to the open sea) and depth zone were observed at Vieques. At St. Croix, benthic assemblages differed more between depth zones but not between north and south. Effects of natural disturbances were severe at Vieques, outweighing impacts of past military activity [BUT THE 100,000,000 WATT ERP (EFFECTIVE RADIATIVE POWER) ROTHR RADAR IS STILL THERE!]— which were present but not quantitatively discernible at our scale of sampling. Germs and storms, rather than bombs (and associated naval activities), primarily seem to have taken the worst toll on corals at both Vieques and St. Croix.

Method: This contribution is an update on molecular biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of response to therapy in genitourinary tumors. The following major topics are dealt with: Immunological biomarkers, including the microbiome, and their potential role and caveats in renal cell carcinoma, bladder and prostate cancers and testicular germ cell tumors; Tissue biomarkers for imaging and therapy, with emphasis on Prostate-specific membrane antigen in prostate cancer; Liquid biomarkers in prostate cancer, including circulating tumor cell isolation and characterization in renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer with emphasis on biomarkers detectable in the urine and testicular germ cell tumors; and Biomarkers and economic sustainability.
Conclusion: The identification of effective biomarkers has become a major focus in cancer research, mainly due to the necessity of selecting potentially responsive patients in order to improve their outcomes, as well as to reduce the toxicity and costs related to ineffective treatments.
Keywords: Genitourinary tumors, microbiome, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, liquid biopsy, PSMA, immunotherapy.
Keywords:Genitourinary tumors, microbiome, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, liquid biopsy, PSMA, immunotherapy.
Abstract:Background: Research of biomarkers in genitourinary tumors goes along with development of complex emerging techniques ranging from next generation sequencing platforms, applied to archival pathology specimens, cytological samples, liquid biopsies, and to patient-derived tumor models.

By: Scott Jennings
A week from this Saturday, Kentucky's politicos and their supporters will converge at Fancy Farm, Kentucky, home of St. Jerome's Catholic Parish and its famous political stump speaking event.
With no statewide races on the 2018 ballot, the 2019 gubernatorial race looms large. Will Gov. Matt Bevin seek re-election? How many Democrats will challenge Attorney General Andy Beshear in the primary? Here's a preview of the most important players:
Matt Bevin (R) – It is no secret that the governor dislikes Fancy Farm despite having formidable public speaking skills. He has yet to commit, although people close to him say he's edging toward a re-election campaign nonetheless. Whether he appears or not, I predict Bevin runs for re-election and wins.
While Bevin has faced turbulence over his pension reform comments, the underlying political dynamics have undeniably shifted in his favor since 2015. Democrats have fallen under 50 percent in voter registration, even as the Democratic Party spins a yarn of supposedly greater enthusiasm. Republicans gained a supermajority in the state house in 2016, and President Donald Trump remains popular.
Bevin's biggest asset — one he should tout from the stage — is Kentucky's economy. We rely on governors to wrangle economic development opportunities and Bevin has delivered in spades. With the unemployment rate hovering around 4 percent and thousands of workers finding jobs each month, Bevin can run a positive campaign on promises made and kept.
In 2011, Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, was re-elected despite an unemployment rate of 9.1 percent and a White House occupied by a terribly unpopular Democratic president. Bevin has the opposite conditions and is unlikely to face a serious primary. A trip to Fancy Farm would give Bevin a chance to argue that, on his watch, Kentucky has indeed become the best version of itself.
Andy Beshear (D) – Kentucky's attorney general is the first Democrat to launch a gubernatorial campaign, and he hopes to amass early donor and organizational support sufficient to ward off primary opponents. Beshear must find a stronger voice at Fancy Farm, something he lacked in his announcement speech. Beshear must show his bloodthirsty base that he can land the punches necessary to beat a tough incumbent.
A condition of Democratic primaries these days is that you must run hard left to win. Beshear, a former corporate lawyer who knows better than to buy into the socialism garbage popular in his party, would rather not fall into this trap. But with liberals Alison Grimes and Attica Scott possibly lurking on his left, perceived moderates Ben Chandler and Rocky Adkins on his right, and slick chameleon Adam Edelen jumping from flank to flank, Beshear could find himself in a complicated game of multi-dimensional chess
I expect Kentucky teachers and liberal activists to turn out in force for this year's picnic. If they appear to be supporting Beshear, other Democrats could be dissuaded. Can Andy rally the troops, or are they looking for someone angrier and more liberal?
Mitch McConnell (R) – He's not up until 2020, but the Senate majority leader has already launched a re-election campaign with a staffer and digital advertising. He should focus on two things: his stewardship of the Trump agenda and the socialists following him around Louisville. McConnell's hecklers buoy his re-election chances with every insult and threat.
Some pundits — trying to cause trouble for both men — chatter about Bevin challenging McConnell in 2020, recalling memories of 1938 when Alben Barkley, the last Senate majority leader from Kentucky, faced a primary from upstart Gov. Happy Chandler. With the support of a popular president, the powerful Barkley easily dispatched the pesky and ambitious Chandler, who had designs on the presidency himself.
McConnell would surely enjoy Trump's support in a primary against any opponent. Just as Barkley shepherded Roosevelt's New Deal through Congress, McConnell has moved Trump's tax cuts, regulatory reforms, military spending and judges through a closely divided Senate. History has tethered these unlikely partners on policy and politics, something McConnell should plug in his speech.
Alison Grimes (D) – Best wishes to the term-limited secretary of state, who recently announced that she is having a baby in December. Grimes has several options ahead of her in 2019 and 2020, and would be formidable in any Democratic primary for governor, attorney general or U.S. Senate. As a parent who has taken her kids to Fancy Farm, Grimes will soon know the joy of plying one with barbecue and carnival games that benefit the church!
Ryan Quarles (R) – The popular agriculture commissioner will serve as emcee of this year's stump speaking. He is running for re-election in 2019 and his elevation to emcee tracks perfectly with his ascension as one of the GOP's brightest stars.

What I Learned from a Mid-College Internship


The Joyful Journey Summer Day Camp is an outreach effort of Wilkens Avenue Mennonite Church. The purpose is to provide a safe and nurturing Christian environment for at-risk youth to receive spiritual and cultural enrichment and recreation during the summer.
BUP interns will serve as camp counselors under the direction and guidance of experienced program staff. Interns will oversee recreational activities and arts and crafts, and teach Bible lessons to elementary and middle school students. Prior teaching experience is beneficial, and a love for kids and self-motivation is a must!
BUP interns will also assist with other church and community outreach events sponsored by Wilkens Avenue Mennonite Church.

These libraries enable communication between clients and servers using any
combination of the supported languages.

##Interface

Developers using gRPC typically start with the description of an RPC service
(a collection of methods), and generate client and server side interfaces
which they use on the client-side and implement on the server side.

By default, gRPC uses [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf) as the
Interface Definition Language (IDL) for describing both the service interface
and the structure of the payload messages. It is possible to use other
alternatives if desired.

###Surface API
Starting from an interface definition in a .proto file, gRPC provides
Protocol Compiler plugins that generate Client- and Server-side APIs.
gRPC users typically call into these APIs on the Client side and implement
the corresponding API on the server side.

#### Synchronous vs. asynchronous
Synchronous RPC calls, that block until a response arrives from the server, are
the closest approximation to the abstraction of a procedure call that RPC
aspires to.

On the other hand, networks are inherently asynchronous and in many scenarios,
it is desirable to have the ability to start RPCs without blocking the current
thread.

The gRPC programming surface in most languages comes in both synchronous and
asynchronous flavors.

## Streaming

gRPC supports streaming semantics, where either the client or the server (or both)
send a stream of messages on a single RPC call. The most general case is
Bidirectional Streaming where a single gRPC call establishes a stream where both
the client and the server can send a stream of messages to each other. The streamed
messages are delivered in the order they were sent.

#Protocol

The [gRPC protocol](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-common/blob/master/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md) specifies the abstract requirements for communication between
clients and servers. A concrete embedding over HTTP/2 completes the picture by
fleshing out the details of each of the required operations.

## Abstract gRPC protocol
A gRPC RPC comprises of a bidirectional stream of messages, initiated by the client. In the client-to-server direction, this stream begins with a mandatory `Call Header`, followed by optional `Initial-Metadata`, followed by zero or more `Payload Messages`. The server-to-client direction contains an optional `Initial-Metadata`, followed by zero or more `Payload Messages` terminated with a mandatory `Status` and optional `Status-Metadata` (a.k.a.,`Trailing-Metadata`).

## Implementation over HTTP/2
The abstract protocol defined above is implemented over [HTTP/2](https://http2.github.io/). gRPC bidirectional streams are mapped to HTTP/2 streams. The contents of `Call Header` and `Initial Metadata` are sent as HTTP/2 headers and subject to HPACK compression. `Payload Messages` are serialized into a byte stream of length prefixed gRPC frames which are then fragmented into HTTP/2 frames at the sender and reassembled at the receiver. `Status` and `Trailing-Metadata` are sent as HTTP/2 trailing headers (a.k.a., trailers).

## Flow Control
gRPC inherits the flow control mechanisms in HTTP/2 and uses them to enable fine-grained control of the amount of memory used for buffering in-flight messages.


Our interactive and personal Segway Tours are organized in small groups, giving you plenty of chances to ask questions and get to know your guide!
The tour starts with a 5-10 -minutes orientation session in front of our office on the big open square (not included in quoted tour time). You will have time to practice on the Segways so that everyone feels comfortable and ready to go out and conquer Budapest.
Whichever tour, the day time or late afternoon, we will give you a fantastic orientation of inner Pest and fabulous views of Danube. You will guide from our office to the whole City Centre sites including Vörösmarty Square, Danube Promenade, next the Chain Bridge, Parliament, Liberty Square, Basilica.
You will guide from our office to the whole City Park to sites including Art Hall, Museum of Fine Art, City Park Boating Lake and Ice Rink, Vajdahunyad Castle, Hungarian Agriculture Museum. Also on the Budapest Segway Grand tour you will see Széchenyi Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool,. Capital Circus of Budapest.
You will guide from our office to the whole City Centre sites including Vörösmarty Square, Danube Promenade, next the Chain Bridge, Parliament, Liberty Square, Basilica.
The Segway is not appropriate for those weighing over 280 pounds (130 kilograms).
