USB webcams and PS4, will they work together?
Best answer: No. Sony's PlayStation 4 does not provide support for standard USB webcams. In fact, the company requires that you use its proprietary camera, which uses a different jack than USB.
The only PS4 camera: PlayStation Camera (From $80 at Amazon)
A professional option: Elgato HD60 S ($180 at Amazon)

Rather than adding support for third-party USB cameras, Sony has been trying to make its camera a must-have accessory since they first introduced the EyeToy camera for PlayStation 2. Unfortunately for Sony, the EyeToy and upgraded PlayStation Eye were far from that must-have. Camera games were limited at best throughout the life of the PlayStation 2 and 3.
It wasn't until 2010 with the launch of PlayStation Move that the camera started gaining a little traction. Over 15 million Moves were shipped by 2012, but the continued lack of any games worth owning meant it would eventually die out as EyeToy had — if the upcoming PlayStation VR headset hadn't been able to save it.
With the announcement of PSVR, it's connection to PlayStation Move, and streaming, the PlayStation Camera is back. Twitch and other streaming services were growing in popularity by the launch of the PlayStation 4, and players wanted a camera so viewers could see them as they played games. However, PlayStation still hadn't added USB webcam support, which left streamers with only two options: They could use the PlayStation Camera, which plugs in via an aux cable rather than a standard USB, or get a capture card. For the average user, the PlayStation Camera was a good enough option and it sold out quickly during the PlayStation 4 launch.
The newest model offers 1280×800 resolution at 60 frames per second (FPS) and the dual-lens designed for Move and PSVR games offer player tracking. With a built-in microphone its a great option if you need a webcam for your PS4. However, it does lack bonuses like background removal and low light correction, which some USB webcams offer.
Without support for third-party webcams, a number of streamers have opted to use a capture card like the Elgato HD60 S. These cards are either internal cards for the PC or external gadgets that allow you to record or stream your PlayStation 4 gameplay to your PC. With the gameplay being streamed to a PC, streamers can use their own USB webcam.
These webcams often have better image quality and more resolution options than the PlayStation Camera. They are designed specifically for image capture and recording, whereas the PlayStation Camera was designed for games first and as a camera second.
So, no, technically you can't use your USB webcam with PlayStation 4, but with a little workaround like using a capture card your webcam isn't useless. However, for the average user this is an expensive solution.
With the history of Sony's cameras over the years, I don't have high hopes for USB webcam support on the upcoming PlayStation 5 either. So if you are just wanting to video chat with friends, I suggest you pick up the PS Camera.
Not USB
The PlayStation Camera is a must-have for PSVR and PlayStation Move. It uses dual lens to track the players movment as well as the movement of those ice cream cone controllers. As for the camera itself, the 1280×800 resolution and 60 FPS is good enough for the average user.

Connecting to a USB cam
Elgato's external HD60 S is a great solution for a streamer wanting to upgrade without adding an internal card to your PC. This little gadget plugs into your PlayStation 4 and your PC, allowing you to record or stream PS4 gameplay to your computer. This connection means you can still use your USB webcam on your PC.

PRIMAL SCREAM 'Sonic Flower Groove' LP
Sonic Flower Groove is the debut studio album by Scottish rock band Primal Scream, released on 5 October 1987 by Elevation Records.
Bobby Gillespie's departure from The Jesus & Mary Chain enabled the pioneering Scots bandleader to focus on Primal Scream full-time. The rewards arrived quickly: the early B-side "Velocity Girl" ended up on NME's legendary C86 compilation (and later inspired the American indie-pop band of the same name), and Primal Scream connected with the crucial English indie label Creation. For the bands debut, Primal Scream opted for producer Mayo Thompson-leader of left-field psych outfit Red Krayola and producer for Pere Ubu, Felt, and The Chills, among others-and completed Sonic Flower Groove for release on the newly set up Warner Bros. subsidiary Elevation Records in 1987. It's the only album featuring Gillespie's wistful, almost fey vocal style, which makes impeccably balanced pop compositions like "Aftermath" especially infectious. The influence of The Byrds is glaring. Glistening guitar melodies entwine and, yes, jangle, though the way they mingle with and complement Gillespie's voice distinguishes the tribute. It's also a prescient album, predicting the refined rock sensibility that would in a few years come to characterize Britpop, but by then Gillespie and Primal Scream would already be blazing new trails.

Purplebricks Group plc ('Purplebricks' or 'the Company'), the leading hybrid estate agency providing a new way to sell, buy or let property, today announces a trading update for the year ended 30 April 2017 ahead of reporting its final results on 29 June 2017.
Trading in the UK has been strong, with year-on-year instruction growth in the second half of the financial year up 83%. As a result the UK business is expected to record an adjusted EBITDA profit for the full year, building on the UK's £0.3m reported adjusted EBITDA in the first half.
Progress in Australia continues to be very encouraging with recent launches in Perth and Adelaide, adding to the existing states of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. With average revenue per listing exceeding A$5,000, Purplebricks estimates that Australian customers save an average of over A$12,000 in estate agents' fees when compared with a traditional commission structure.
The recruitment of high quality Local Property Experts (LPEs) remains a central element of the strategy. At the end of April there were 525 LPEs, of which 448 were in the UK (32 having just graduated at the end of April) and 77 in Australia, exceeding the target set in January 2016 of 360. Notwithstanding the rapid growth across the business, customer service levels have remained strong. In the last 12 months the number of Trustpilot reviews have risen from 5,000 to over 17,100, with the average score edging up from 9.4 to 9.5 out of 10.
With continued progress across the business the Company is on course to meet the board's full year expectations.
"This has been a year of great progress across the board. The UK business continues to go from strength-to-strength and the decision to increase marketing spend in the spring market has been successful. We have demonstrated that the business model works, with the first expected full year profit in the UK, while our early success in Australia highlights our ability to execute and the broad appeal of the Purplebricks customer proposition.
"US plans are progressing well, and our learnings from rolling out in the UK and Australia, coupled with the recent £50m fund raising position us well for a launch in the second half of 2017. We are confident in our future and excited about our global opportunity."
Purplebricks is the leading next generation estate agency in the UK, combining highly experienced and professional Local Property Experts and an innovative use of technology to help make the process of selling, buying or letting so much more convenient, transparent and cost effective. Purplebricks is transforming the way people perceive estate agents and estate agency. Building on its UK success, Purplebricks launched into Australia in August 2016 and in February 2017 announced plans to enter the US market.
Unlike traditional agents, where customers only pay upon the sale of the property, which effectively means that those that do sell pay more in order to cover the costs of those that do not sell, Purplebricks believes it is more equitable that everyone should pay, charging a flat fee at instruction. This helps to avoid the industry issue of timewasters and those that are merely 'testing the water' and underpins the low, flat fee model.
Customers can chose to pay at instruction or defer, at no extra cost, to the earlier of ten months from the date of instruction or the date of sale. If a customer wishes to defer payment, they are required to use Purplebricks' conveyancing services for the sale.
Purplebricks charges £849 (inc.VAT) for a sale anywhere in the UK other than in London and surrounding areas where there is a charge of £1,199 (inc. VAT). There are additional charges if the customer wants Purplebricks to undertake the viewings on their behalf, if they require an energy performance certificate or a Rightmove premium display, amongst other services that are available.
The business model is low cost, flexible and cash generative, without the need for an expensive leased estate. LPEs are self-employed and receive a flat fee per instruction and can earn additional fees from the sale of ancillary services including but not limited to conveyancing, mortgage referrals and insurance.
Purplebricks listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in December 2015, raising £25.0m of growth capital before listing costs at 100p per share. In February 2017 Purplebricks raised an additional £50m (gross) through a share placing to fund US expansion.

Arthur Labinjo-Hughes: Father and girlfriend found guilty over death of six-year-old boy
Emma Tustin was unanimously convicted of murdering Arthur Labinjo-Hughes. Her partner and Arthur's father, Thomas Hughes, was found guilty of manslaughter, after his son suffered an "unsurvivable brain injury" on 16 June 2020.
Friday 3 December 2021 13:28, UK
'Utterly ruthless' pair convicted of killing boy
A "wicked" stepmother and a "pitiless" father have been convicted of abusing and killing his six-year-old son.
Emma Tustin, 32, was unanimously convicted of murdering Arthur Labinjo-Hughes at Coventry Crown Court.
Her partner and Arthur's father, 29-year-old Thomas Hughes, was found guilty of manslaughter, after his son suffered an "unsurvivable brain injury" on 16 June 2020.
Warning: This story contains distressing details about the treatment and subsequent death of a little boy

In court, the pair had been described by prosecutors as "utterly ruthless, unthinking and pitiless".
Speaking after the verdicts, Arthur's maternal grandmother, Madeleine Halcrow, called them "wicked" and "evil".
She also described the couple's behaviour, which included Tustin poisoning the youngster by force-feeding him salt-laced meals, as "unfathomable".

"I think they are cold, calculating, systematic torturers of a defenceless little boy. They're wicked, evil. There's no word for them, especially your own child," she added.
Tustin carried out the fatal assault while in sole care of Arthur at her home in Cranmore Road, Solihull, taking a photograph of the youngster on her mobile phone as he lay dying in the hallway, then sending the image to Hughes.
Murder stepmum lies to police
She then took 12 minutes to call 999, instead first ringing Hughes, then lying to medics that Arthur "fell and banged his head and while on the floor banged his head another five times".
Tustin later claimed he must have thrown himself down the stairs, despite evidence he was barely strong enough to pick up his own bedding, or stand.

Hughes, of Stroud Road, Solihull, was convicted of encouraging the killing, including by sending a text message to Tustin 18 hours before the fatal assault telling her "just end him", then later saying to his son "Watch you little c***, I'll bury you six feet under".
It emerged during the trial that Arthur's mother had herself been jailed for stabbing her own partner to death in a drink and drug-fuelled rage.
The youngster had been placed in the care of Tustin and Hughes after Olivia Labinjo-Halcrow was jailed for 11 years.
On one occasion before his death, Arthur told his father: "I am in danger with you, dad".

Jurors also convicted Tustin of two counts of child cruelty, including salt-poisoning and withholding food and drink from Arthur.
She had already admitted two other cruelty counts; wilfully assaulting Arthur on three occasions and isolating him, including by forcing him to stand in the hallway for up to 14 hours a day as part of a draconian punishment regime.
Tustin claimed she had not realised at the time how bad the abuse was even though texts proved that Arthur was deliberately moved away from his punishment "step" beside the front door when his grandmother delivered post.
During Tustin's evidence, prosecutor Jonas Hankin QC said it was clear from the tone of her commands to Arthur that she had "relished" being cruel towards him.
Six-year-old boy's cries of 'no one loves me' played to murder trial
It has since emerged that Tustin had "salt thrown at her" by other inmates while on remand at HMP Peterborough for her trial, and has been threatened with violence by other prisoners.
Hughes, who had denied any wrongdoing, was also convicted of the cruelty offences which Tustin had admitted - but cleared of withholding food and drink, or of poisoning his own son with salt.
It emerged at trial that Arthur had been seen by social workers just two months before his death, after concerns were raised by his paternal grandmother Joanne Hughes, but they concluded there were "no safeguarding concerns".

Jurors took six hours and 15 minutes to deliver verdicts, and afterwards held a minute's silence in Arthur's memory.
An independent review is now under way into the authorities' contact with Arthur before his death.


The Brookings-based bank announced Thursday it has signed an agreement to buy Peoples Bank of Commerce and State Bank of New Prague.
First Bank & Trust is expanding its reach into Minnesota with the planned acquisition of two banks in the state.
The Brookings-based bank announced Thursday it had signed a deal to buy Peoples Bank of Commerce and State Bank of New Prague, both owned by Minneapolis-based Duke Financial Group, with assets of $408 million.
The acquisitions mean First Bank & Trust would add Minnesota locations in Cambridge, Princeton, East Bethel, Edina, Roseville and New Prague.
The deal is pending, requiring the approval of regulators and shareholders of Duke Financial Group. If approved, First Bank & Trust would have assets of more than $1.7 billion. The deal is expected to close later this year.
Fishback Financial Corp. is the holding company that owns First Bank & Trust, which has South Dakota locations in Milbank, Stockholm, Vermillion, Toronto and White, along with a bank in Pipestone, Minnesota. Fish Back Financial Corp. also owns First Bank & Trust, Sioux Falls, SD with locations in Watertown, Garretson, Madison and Canton.

\section{I. Introduction}

It is well known that some liquids (for example, water, silica,
silicon, carbon, and phosphorus) show an anomalous behavior in the
vicinity of their freezing lines \cite{deben2003,bul2002,
angel2004,book,book1,deben2001,netz,stanley1,ad1,ad2,ad3,ad4,ad5,
ad6,ad7,ad8,errington,errington2}. The water phase diagrams have
regions where a thermal expansion coefficient is negative (density
anomaly), self-diffusivity increases upon compression (diffusion
anomaly), and the structural order of the system decreases with
increasing pressure (structural anomaly) \cite{deben2001,netz}.
The regions where these anomalies take place form nested domains
in the density-temperature \cite{deben2001} (or
pressure-temperature \cite{netz}) planes: the density anomaly
region is inside the diffusion anomaly domain, and both of these
anomalous regions are inside a broader structurally anomalous
region. It is reasonable to relate this kind of behavior to the
orientational anisotropy of the potentials, however, a number of
studies demonstrate waterlike anomalies in fluids that interact
through spherically symmetric potentials
\cite{8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,bar2,21,22,23,24,25,26,
barb2008-1,barb2008,FFGRS2008,RS2002,RS2003,FRT2006,GFFR2009,fr1,fr2}.

As it was mentioned above, three types of anomalies are the most
discussed in literature with respect to the core-softened fluids -
diffusion anomaly, density anomaly and structural anomaly. Here we
briefly discuss these anomalies.

If we consider a simple liquid (for, example, Lennard-Jones
liquid), and trace the diffusion along an isotherm we find that
the diffusion decreases under densification. This observation is
intuitively clear - if density increases the free volume decreases
and the particles have less freedom to move. However, some
substances have a region in density - temperature plane where
diffusion grows under densification. This is called anomalous
diffusion region which reflects the contradiction of this behavior
with the free volume picture described above. This means that
diffusion anomaly involves more complex mechanisms which will be
discussed below.

The second anomaly mentioned above is density anomaly. It means
that density increases upon heating or that the thermal expansion
coefficient becomes negative. Using the thermodynamic relation
$\left(\partial P/\partial T\right)_V=\alpha_P/K_T$, where
$\alpha_P$ is a thermal expansion coefficient and $K_T$ is the
isothermal compressibility and taking into account that $K_T$ is
always positive and finite for systems in equilibrium not at a
critical point, we conclude that density anomaly corresponds to
minimum of the pressure dependence on temperature along an
isochor. This is the most convenient indicator of density anomaly
in computer simulation.

The last anomaly we discuss here is structural anomaly. Initially
this anomaly was introduced via order parameters characterizing
the local order in liquid. However, later on the local order was
also related to excess entropy of the liquid which is defined as
the difference between the entropy and the ideal gas entropy at
the same $(\rho,T)$ point: $S_{ex}=S-S_{id}$. In normal liquid
excess entropy is monotonically decaying function of density along
an isotherm while in anomalous liquids it demonstrates increasing
in some region. This allows to define the boundaries of structural
anomaly at given temperature as minimum and maximum of excess
entropy.

The problem of anomalous behavior of core-softened fluids was
widely discussed in literature (see, for example, the recent
review \cite{fr1}). It was shown that for some systems the
anomalies take place while for others does not. In this respect
the question of criteria of anomalous behavior appearance remains
the central one. However, another important point is still lacking
in the literature - the behavior of anomalies along different
thermodynamic trajectories. Here we call as "trajectory" a set of
points belonging to some path in $(P,\rho,T)$ space. For example,
the set of points belonging to the same isotherm we call as
"isothermal trajectory" or shortly isotherm.

In our previous work we showed \cite{werostr} that anomalies can
exist along some trajectories while along others the liquid
behaves as a simple one. Taking into account this result, it is
interesting to study the behavior of the quantities demonstrating
anomalies along the different physically significant trajectories
(isotherms, isochors, isobars and adiabats). This investigation
will allow to get deeper understanding of the relations between
anomalous behavior and thermodynamic parameters of the system
which spread light on the connection between thermodynamic,
structural and dynamic properties of liquids.

\section{II. System and Methods}

The simplest form of core-softened potential is the so called
Repulsive Step Potential which is defined as following:
\begin{equation}
\Phi (r)=\left\{
\begin{array}{lll}
\infty , & r\leq d \\
\varepsilon , & d <r\leq \sigma  \\
0, & r>\sigm
\end{array
\right.  \label{1}
\end{equation}
where $d$ is the diameter of the hard core, $\sigma$ is the width
of the repulsive step,  and  $\varepsilon$ its height. In the
low-temperature limit $\tilde{T}\equiv k_BT/\varepsilon<<1$  the
system reduces to a hard-sphere systems with hard-sphere diameter
$\sigma$, whilst in the limit $\tilde{T}>>1$ the system reduces to
a hard-sphere model with a hard-sphere diameter $d$. For this
reason, melting at high and low temperatures follows simply from
the hard-sphere melting curve $P=cT/\sigma'^3$, where $c \approx
12$ and $\sigma'$ is the relevant hard-sphere diameter ($\sigma$
and $d$, respectively). A changeover from the low-$T$ to high-$T$
melting behavior should occur for $\tilde{T} ={\mathcal O}(1)$.
The precise form of the phase diagram depends on the ratio
$s\equiv \sigma/d$. For large enough values of $s$ one should
expect to observe in the resulting melting curve a maximum that
should disappear as $s\rightarrow 1$. The phase behavior in the
crossover region may be very complex, as  shown
in~\cite{FFGRS2008,GFFR2009}.

In the present simulations we have used a smoothed version of the
repulsive step potential (Eq.~(\ref{1})), which has the form:
\begin{equation}
\Phi (r)=
\left(\frac{d}{r}\right)^{n}+\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon\left(1-\tanh\left(k_0
\left(r-\sigma_s \right)\right)\right) \label{2}
\end{equation}
where $n=14,k_0=10$. We have considered $\sigma_s= 1.35$. Here and
below we refer to this potential as to smooth Repulsive Shoulder
System (RSS).

In the remainder of this paper we use the dimensionless
quantities: $\tilde{{\bf r}}\equiv {\bf r}/d$, $\tilde{P}\equiv P
d^{3}/\varepsilon ,$ $\tilde{V}\equiv V/N d^{3}\equiv
1/\tilde{\rho}$. As we will only use these reduced variables, we
omit the tildes.

In Refs.~\cite{FFGRS2008,GFFR2009},  phase diagrams of
repulsive-step models were reported for $\sigma_s=1.15, 1.35,
1.55, 1.8$. To determine the phase diagram at non-zero
temperature, we performed NVT MD simulations combined with
free-energy calculations. For equilibration rescaling of the
velocities was used, for sampling we used NVE ensemble monitoring
the stability of the temperature. In all cases, periodic boundary
conditions were used. The number of particles varied between 250,
500 and 864. No system-size dependence of the results was
observed. The system was equilibrated for $5\times 10^6$ MD time
steps. Data were subsequently collected during $3\times 10^6\delta
t$ where the time step $\delta t=5\times 10^{-5}$.

In order to map out the phase diagram of the system, we computed
its Helmholtz free energy using thermodynamic integration: the
free energy of the liquid phase was computed via thermodynamic
integration from the dilute gas limit~\cite{book_fs}, and the free
energy of the solid phase was computed by thermodynamic
integration to an Einstein crystal~\cite{book_fs,fladd}.  In the
MC simulations of solid phases, data were collected during $5
\times 10^4$ cycles after equilibration. To improve the statistics
(and to check for internal consistency) the free energy of the
solid was computed at many dozens of different state-points and
fitted to multinomial function. The fitting function we used is
$a_{p,q}T^pV^q$, where $T$ and $V=1/\rho$ are the temperature and
specific volume and powers $p$ and $q$ are connected through $p+q
\le N$. The value N we used for the most of calculations is 5. For
the low-density FCC phase  N was taken equal to 4, since we had
less data points. The transition points were determined using a
double-tangent construction.

The region where thermodynamic anomalies are expected is situated
close to the region where the system undergoes structural arrest.
As a consequence, proper sampling of the phase space can be
problematic. To overcome this problem we used  parallel
tempering~\cite{book_fs}. Instead of simulating a single system,
we consider $n$ systems, each running in the NVT ensemble at a
different temperature. Systems at high temperatures go easily over
potential barriers and systems at low temperatures sample the
local free energy minima. The idea of parallel tempering is to
attempt Monte Carlo temperature swaps  between the systems at
different temperatures. If the low and high temperatures are far
apart, the probability to accept such a swap move is quite low.
For this reason, we use a range of 'intermediate' temperatures.
During a parallel tempering simulation, we generate equilibrium
configurations for the system at all the temperatures in the
simulation. In most cases, we used 8 temperatures and tried to
swap them 40 times. This simulation took almost 24 hours running
on 8 processors in parallel at the Joint Supercomputing Center of
Russian Academy of Sciences.

Fig.~\ref{fig:fig1a} shows the phase diagrams that we obtain from
the free-energy calculations for $\sigma_s=1.35$. In fact, the
phase diagrams for $\sigma_s=1.15, 1.35, 1.55, 1.8$ were already
reported in Refs.~\cite{FFGRS2008,GFFR2009}. We show these phase
diagrams here too because they provide the ``landscape'' in which
possible ``water'' anomalies should be positioned.

\end{figure}

Fig.~\ref{fig:fig1a}(a) shows the phase diagram of the system with
$\sigma_s=1.35$ in the $\rho-T$ plane. There is a clear maximum in
the melting curve at low densities. The phase diagram consists of
two isostructural FCC domains corresponding to close packing of
the small and large spheres separated by a sequence of structural
phase transitions. This phase diagram was discussed in detail in
our previous publication \cite{FFGRS2008,GFFR2009}. It is
important to note that there is a region of the phase diagram
where we have not found any stable crystal phase. The results of
Ref.~ \cite{FFGRS2008} suggest that a glass transition occurs in
this region with $T_g=0.079$ at $\rho=0.53$. The apparent
glass-transition temperature is above the melting point of the
low-density FCC and FCT phases. If, indeed, no other crystalline
phases are stable in this region, the ``glassy'' phase that we
observe would be thermodynamically stable. This is rather unusual
for one-component liquids. In simulations, glassy behavior is
usually observed in metastable mixtures, where crystal nucleation
is kinetically suppressed. One could argue that, in the glassy
region, the present system behaves like a ``quasi-binary'' mixture
of spheres with diameters $d$ and $\sigma_s$ and that the
freezing-point depression is analogous to that expected in a
binary system with a eutectic point: there are some values of the
diameter ratio such that crystalline structures are strongly
unfavorable and the glass phase could then be stable even at very
low temperatures. The glassy behavior in the reentrant liquid
disappears at higher temperatures.

\section{III. Results and discussion}

\subsection{Diffusion anomaly}

The diffusion anomaly of the RSS was discussed in several our
previous articles. In the Refs. \cite{FFGRS2008} and
\cite{GFFR2009} we showed that the diffusion anomaly takes place
at the shoulder width $\sigma_1=1.35$ while in the work
\cite{weros} the breakdown of the Rosenfeld scaling for this
system was demonstrated. Further discussion of the Rosenfeld
scaling was reported in the work \cite{werostr}. The main idea of
this paper is that the anomalous diffusion behavior present along
low-temperature isotherms while along isochors diffusion
coefficient is monotonous. As a result, Rosenfeld scaling is valid
along isochors and high-temperature isotherms, however, it breaks
down for the isotherms with anomalies. It means that appearance or
not of anomalies at some trajectory can cause physically different
behavior of the system. As a result, following different
trajectories, we can or can not observe some effects. It is of
particular importance since experimental works deal mostly with
isobars and isotherms while theoretical studies - with isochors
and isotherms. Taking this into account, one can expect that some
of the effects observed along isobars are not visible along
isotherms and isochors which makes us confused while comparing
experimental results with theoretical predictions. Here we extend
the study of anomalies to four different physically meaningful
trajectories: isotherms, isochors, isobars and adiabats.

show (a) the low temperature isotherms and (b) low temperature
region of some isochors. }
\end{figure}

Fig.~\ref{fig:fig1}(a) shows the diffusion coefficient of RSS
system along a set of isotherms for $\sigma_1=1.35$. One can see
that the diffusion coefficient demonstrates anomalous behavior for
the temperatures below $T=0.25$. However, if we look at the
Fig.~\ref{fig:fig1}(b) where the same diffusion coefficient data
are arranged along isochors we do not observe anomalies - the
diffusion is a monotonous function of temperature along isochors.
However, some of the isochors cross. One can see from the inset
that the cross of the isochors corresponds to the densities
between $\rho=0.4$ and $\rho=0.6$. Comparing it to the isotherms
we see that this is the region of anomalous diffusion. It means
that even if we do not see nonmonotonous behavior of diffusion
along isochors we can identify the presence of anomaly from
crossing of the isochors. However, this method seems to be
technically more difficult since we need to measure many points
belonging to different isochors rather then one isotherm.

Isothermal and isochoric behavior of diffusion in anomalous region
have already been discussed in our previous publication
\cite{werostr} and we give these plots here for the sake of
completeness. Fig.~\ref{fig:fig2}(a) shows the diffusion
coefficient along a set of isobars as a function of density. The
diffusion coefficient is again monotonous. The slope of the curves
is always negative. However, as it can be seen from the inset, the
slope approaches infinity at low diffusions at pressures $P=2.0$
and $P=2.5$. This corresponds to densities $0.45-0.55$ inside the
anomalous region. One can imagine that if we lower the
temperatures along these isobars we can observe change of the
slope to positive one, however, we do not have data for these
temperatures.

Fig.~\ref{fig:fig2}(b) shows the diffusion coefficient along
isobars as a function of temperature. The situation is analogous
to the case of isochors: the curves are monotonous, however, they
intersect at low temperatures, corresponding to anomalous region
(see the inset in Fig.~\ref{fig:fig2}(b)). It means that if we
have the diffusion coefficient along isobars we can identify the
presence of anomalies by monitoring the intersections of the
curves. However, by the reasons discussed above this method is not
practically convenient.

\caption{\label{fig:fig2} (Color online). Diffusion coefficient of
the RSS system along isobars as a function of (a) density and (b)
temperature. The insets show anomalous regions in the
corresponding coordinates.}
\end{figure}

The last physically meaningful trajectory considered in the
present work is the adiabat. This trajectory is defined as
constant entropy curve. The entropy is calculated as following. We
compute excess free energy by integrating the equation of states:
$\frac{F_{ex}}{Nk_BT}=\frac{F-F_{id}}{Nk_BT}=\frac{1}{k_BT}
\int_0^{\rho} \frac{P(\rho ')-\rho ' k_BT}{\rho '^2} d\rho'$. The
excess entropy can be computed via $S_{ex}=\frac{U-F_{ex}}{N
k_BT}$. The total entropy is $S=S_{ex}+S_{id}$, where the ideal
gas entropy is
$\frac{S_{id}}{Nk_B}=\frac{3}{2}\ln(T)-\ln(\rho)+\ln(\frac{(2 \pi
mk_B)^{3/2}e^{5/2}}{h^3})$. The last term in this expression is
constant and is not accounted in our calculations.

The behavior of entropy itself will be discussed below. Here we
give the diffusion coefficients along the adiabats
(Fig.~\ref{fig:fig3} (a)-(c)).

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{Fig3a.eps

\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{Fig3b.eps

\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{Fig3c.eps
\caption{\label{fig:fig3} (Color online). Diffusion coefficient of
the RSS system along adiabats as a function of (a) temperature,
(b) density, and (c) pressure. The insets show anomalous regions
in the corresponding coordinates.}
\end{figure}

One can see from the Fig.~\ref{fig:fig3} (a)-(c) that the anomaly
takes place along adiabats in all possible coordinates (look, for
example, $S=-4.0$ adiabat). It means that in case of adiabatic
trajectory one can identify the anomalous region monitoring any of
three thermodynamic variables ($P,\rho,T$). However, this
trajectory is rather difficult to realize in simulation or
experiment.

\subsection{Density Anomaly}

As we mentioned above density anomaly corresponds to appearance of
a minima on isochors of the system. The isochors are shown in the
Fig.~\ref{fig:fig4}(a). It is evident from the figure that some of
the isochors do demonstrate minima. The location of the minimum in
the $\rho-T$ plane is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:fig4}(b). One can see
from this figure that the region of the density anomaly is located
inside the region of the diffusion anomaly which is consistent
with the general picture corresponding to water.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{DenAnom.eps

\caption{\label{fig:fig4} (Color online). (a) A set of isochors of
RSS. The stars show the location of minimum. The inset enlarges
the $\rho=0.45$ isochor. (b) The location of the minima on
isochors in $\rho - T$ plane.}
\end{figure}

If we turn to the shape of the isobars themselves, that is the
dependence of temperature on density at fixed pressure we do not
find any traces of anomalies there (Fig. ~\ref{fig:fig5}). Like in
the case of diffusion, the curves have negative slope which
approaches zero at low temperatures and densities corresponding to
anomalous regime. However, the curve remains monotonous which
means that there is no sign of density anomaly along isobars.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{Isobars.eps

\caption{\label{fig:fig5} (Color online). A set of isobars of RSS.
}
\end{figure}

Figs. ~\ref{fig:fig6}(a) and (b) show adiabats of the RSS in
$\rho-T$ and $P-T$ coordinates. Interestingly, the curves are
again monotonic, but the slope of the curves at low and high
densities (pressures) is very different. At the same time the
middle density (pressure) curves demonstrate a continues change
from the high slope (low-density regime) to low slope
(high-density) regime. It allows to conclude that even if adiabats
show monotonous behavior one can easily identify the location of
anomalous region by the slope change of the curves.

\caption{\label{fig:fig6} (Color online). Adiabats of the RSS in
(a) density - temperature and (b) pressure - temperature
coordinates.}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Structural Anomaly}

Structural anomaly region can be bounded by using the local order
parameters or by excess entropy minimum and maximum. Here we apply
the definition via excess entropy.

The behavior of excess entropy is qualitatively analogous to the
behavior of diffusion coefficient. Because of this we briefly
describe it here noting that most of the conclusions about
diffusion coefficient along different trajectories can be applied
to excess entropy as well.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{SexIsotherms.eps

\includegraphics[width=5cm, height=7cm]{SexIsochors.eps

\caption{\label{fig:fig7} (Color online). Excess entropy of RSS
fluid along (a) isotherms and (b) isochors.}
\end{figure}

Figs.~\ref{fig:fig7}(a) and (b) show the excess entropy along
isotherms and isochors. Like for the diffusion coefficient, excess
entropy demonstrates anomalous grows in some density range at low
temperatures. At the same time excess entropy is monotonous along
isochors. However, the curves for different isochors cross which
indicates the presence of anomaly.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{SexIsobarsRho.eps

\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{SexIsobarsT.eps

\caption{\label{fig:fig8} (Color online). Excess entropy of RSS
fluid along isobars as a function of (a) density and (b)
temperature. The inset in (b) shows the cross of the curves at low
temperatures.}
\end{figure}

The excess entropy along isobars is monotonically decreasing
function of density and monotonically increasing function of
temperature. However, the curves cross at low temperatures
indicating the presence of anomalies as it was discussed for the
case of diffusion.

It is important to note that the range of densities of structural
anomalies is wider then the one of diffusion anomaly which is
consistent with the literature data for core-softened systems.

To summarize this section, we emphasize that the anomalous
behavior can be seen only along some particular trajectories in
$(P,\rho,T)$ space. For example, diffusion and structural
anomalies are visible along isotherms while density anomaly -
along isochors. Other meaningful trajectories (isobars and
adiabats) can identify the presence of anomalies via crossing of
the curves, but they do not allow easily identify the boundaries
of the anomalous region.

\section{IV. Rosenfeld scaling}

In 1977 Rosenfeld proposed a connection between thermodynamic and
dynamical properties of liquids \cite{ros1,ros2}. The main
Rosenfeld's statement claims that the transport coefficients are
exponential functions of the excess entropy. In order to write the
exponential relations Rosenfeld introduced reduction of the
transport coefficients by some macroscopic parameters of the
system. For the case of diffusion coefficient one writes: $D^*=D
\frac{\rho ^{1/3}}{(k_BT/m)^{1/2}}$, where $m$ is the mass of the
particles. The Rosenfeld scaling rule can be written as:

\begin{equation}
 D^*=A \cdot e^{BS_{ex}},
\end{equation}
where $A$ and $B$ are constants.

In his original works Rosenfeld considered hard spheres, soft
spheres, Lennard-Jones system and one-component plasma
\cite{ros1,ros2}. After that the excess entropy scaling was
applied to many different systems including core-softened liquids
\cite{errington,errington2,india1,indiabarb,weros}, liquid metals
\cite{liqmet1,liqmet2}, binary mixtures \cite{binary1,binary2},
ionic liquids \cite{india2,ionicmelts}, network-forming liquids
\cite{india1,india2}, water \cite{buldwater}, chain fluids
\cite{chainfluids} and bounded potentials
\cite{weros,klekelberg,klekelberg1}.

In our recent publication \cite{weros,werostr} we showed that for
the case of the core-softened fluids the applicability of
Rosenfeld relation depends on the trajectory. In particular,
Rosenfeld relation is applicable along isochors, but it is not
applicable along isotherms.

The breakdown of the Rosenfeld relation along isotherms can be
seen from the following speculation. The regions of different
anomalies do not coincide with each other. In particular, in the
case of core-softened fluids the diffusion anomaly region is
located inside the structural anomaly one. It means that there are
some regions where the diffusion is still normal while the excess
entropy is already anomalous. But this kind of behavior can not be
consistent with the Rosenfeld scaling law.

However, from this speculation it follows that the Rosenfeld
scaling should hold true along the trajectories which do not
contain anomalies, i.e. isochors and isobars. In our recent
publication \cite{werostr} we considered the Rosenfeld relation
along isotherms and isochors. Here we bring these trajectories for
the sake of completeness and add the verification of the Rosenfeld
relation along isobars (Fig. ~\ref{fig:fig9}(a) - (c)). One can
see that the Rosenfeld relation does break down along isotherms
which is consistent with the speculation above. At the same time
it holds true along both isochors and isobars which is consistent
with the monotonous behavior of both diffusion coefficient and
excess entropy along these trajectories.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{RSSisochors.eps

\includegraphics[width=7cm, height=7cm]{RosIsobars.eps

\caption{\label{fig:fig9} (Color online). Rosenfeld relation for
RSS along (a) isochors, (b) isotherms, and (c) isobars.}
\end{figure}

This observation makes evident that Rosenfeld relation is valid
only along the trajectories without anomalous behavior.

\section{V. Conclusions}

In conclusion, in the present article we carry out a molecular
dynamics study of the core-softened system (RSS) and show that the
existence of the water-like anomalies in this system depends on
the trajectory in $P-\rho-T$ space along which the behavior of the
system is studied. For example, diffusion and structural anomalies
are visible along isotherms, but disappears along the isochores
and isobars, while density anomaly exists along isochors.  We
analyze the applicability of the Rosenfeld entropy scaling
relations to this system in the regions with the water-like
anomalies. It is shown that the validity of the of Rosenfeld
scaling relation for the diffusion coefficient also depends on the
trajectory in the $P-\rho-T$ space along which the kinetic
coefficients and the excess entropy are calculated. In particular,
it is valid along isochors and isobars, but it breaks down along
isotherms. The breakdown of the Rosenfeld relation along isotherms
can be explained in the following way. The regions of different
anomalies do not coincide with each other. In particular, in the
case of core-softened fluids the diffusion anomaly region is
located inside the structural anomaly one. It means that there are
some regions where the diffusion is still normal while the excess
entropy is already anomalous. But this kind of behavior can not be
consistent with the Rosenfeld scaling law.

There are two problems here. First, he's giving the game away way too early. Of course Romney is going to try to reposition himself toward the center. But he's in the process of convincing conservatives he's really with them. Fred Barnes, in a column praising Romney, writes today, "His plan was to run as a moderate but govern (I think) as a conservative. He's abandoned the moderate mask and positioned himself firmly in the conservative camp." That was the plan – persuade conservatives that they're in on the con. Now Romney will give them grounds to wonder if they're the suckers. It's okay to do that after you've sewn up the nomination, but not while conservatives can still make your life difficult.
Second, Romney's campaign suffers from a general problem of failing to hide its cynicism. The campaign's grasp of the underlying dynamics is totally sound. It sees President Obama's political vulnerability as stemming entirely from the 2007-2008 economic disaster, and it views conservative ideology as ballast upon Romney. If Romney can avoid positioning himself too far from the center, and the economy fails to recover swiftly enough, he should win. Presto!
The problem here is that, for the process to play itself out the way political scientists would forecast, you need to conceal the calculations a bit. For instance, you obviously can believe that your need to win elected office would make you more reluctant to hire illegal aliens, but you shouldn't just say that. And obviously you're going to reposition yourself for a different audience, but that works a lot better if you pretend you're advancing actual core beliefs.
Likewise, there are a lot of techniques guys use to pick up girls that work pretty well. But if they just said things like, "I am going to feign strong interest in what you're telling me in hopes of establishing an emotional connection that will loosen your sexual inhibitions," the success rate of those techniques would probably fall.

Q: slowing down a webscrape using python I am trying to scrape a site and the problem I am running into is the page takes time to load.  So by the time my scraping is done I may get only five items when there may be 25.  Is there a way to slow down python.  I am using beautifulSoup
Here is the code I am using
import urllib
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

theurl="http://agscompany.com/product-category/fittings/tube-nuts/316-tube/"
thepage = urllib.request.urlopen(theurl)
soup = BeautifulSoup(thepage,"html.parser")

for pn in soup.find_all('div',{"class":"shop-item-text"}):
    pn2 = pn.text
    print(pn2)

Thank you

A: All the results can be accessed from theses pages :
http://agscompany.com/product-category/fittings/tube-nuts/316-tube/page/
http://agscompany.com/product-category/fittings/tube-nuts/316-tube/page/2/
...
So you can access them with a loop on the page number :
import urllib
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

theurl="http://agscompany.com/product-category/fittings/tube-nuts/316-tube/"
for i in range(1,5):
  thepage = urllib.request.urlopen(theurl + '/page/' + str(i) + '/')
  soup = BeautifulSoup(thepage,"html.parser")

  for pn in soup.find_all('div',{"class":"shop-item-text"}):
      pn2 = pn.text
      print(pn2)

A: More generic version of @Kenavoz's answer.
This approach doesn't care about how many pages there are.
Also, I would go for requests rather than urllib.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url_pattern = 'http://agscompany.com/product-category/fittings/tube-nuts/316-tube/page/{index}/'
status_code = 200
url_index = 1

while status_code == 200:
    url = url_pattern.format(index=url_index)
    response = requests.get(url)

    status_code = response.status_code
    url_index += 1

    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
    page_items = soup.find_all('div', {'class': 'shop-item-text'})

    for page_item in page_items:
        print(page_item.text)

        context.SaveChanges();

It is at "AddOrUpdate" where I retrieve the following error:

  Source=System.Data.Entity

UPDATE: Thanks to jure, I removed the "ForeignKey" attribute in Product, and now it works.

A: Relation between Product and Market as you declared it is not One To Many. You have ForeignKey attribute on the Market property using "Id" property that is key in the Product class. That makes it One-To-One, meaning both Market and Product should have the same Id.
You need additional "MarketID" property in the Product and use that property as the ForeignKey. Or don't use the ForeingKey attribute at all


The New Hampshire 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is not a timed race event, but a way for firefighters and the community to honor and remember the FDNY firefighters who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live. As a survivor of 9/11/01 at the US Pentagon, I saw first hand the dedication that the first responders gave in front of me. This is an incredible way to give back to those who gave everything. Please join me!


Jessica and Jasmine were fantastic! We had a fairy tale wedding with perfect weather at the end of September. Completely worth having an afternoon wedding for the views of Bar Harbor!
We would absolutely recommend holding your wedding and reception at the Bar Harbor Inn! The staff at the Bar Harbor Inn were incredible in their responsiveness and professionalism, and made us feel entirely comfortable with our big day plans. They walked us through every detail for planning the ceremony and reception, and handled the day-of with aplomb. The service during the reception was spot-on. Many guests commented that the food was as delicious as the waiters were friendly! You can't get more beautiful than the sea view from the Inn, and the free hot cocoa by the woodstove doesn't hurt!
I chose the Bar Harbor Inn as the place to host my wedding ceremony and reception - and I couldn't be more happy about the decision! The location and staff made the whole experience magical for not only me and my now husband but for all the guests who attended. The wedding coordinators Jasmine and Nicole are outstanding. They were professional, detailed, and helped the entire weddIng go without a hitch! They were calm and helped me be calm - I didn't worry about a thing - I got to focus on getting married while they focused on all the coordination and vendors. The hotel staff were kind and courteous. The rooms were beautiful and have spetaculare views. The food at the reception was really good - not your typical tasteless mass produced food - each dish was great - and even our Vegan guests had a great meal! Thank you Bar Harbor Inn for creating these memories!
The planners handled everything expertly. The staff and service was top notch. The location and views are second to none. Anyone picking a Maine venue would do very well to chose the Bar Harbor Inn!
Amazing! That is the best word to describe their contribution to our big day. I was married here last week, and Nicole and Liane were truly amazing. Without them, I don't know what I would do. I had a small wedding with about 23 people total. We booked the Porcupine Room and had our ceremony on the lawn. It was so affordable (for a wedding) to book this room. The service was fantastic, the hotel and its grounds are beautiful, and my wedding day was truly hassle-free thanks to Nicole and Liane. I seriously can't give them enough credit. I can't wait to come back and visit. We're already planning a 2-year anniversary here!
A year ago we visited the Bar Harbor Inn and Spa based on its beauty and reviews to see if it was the location for our daughter's wedding. After meeting with Nicole and having a wonderful tasting, we decided this was the place for us. From that moment we placed our hope in the Inn and Spa's capable hands.
As the year wore on and questions arose, Nicole was constantly available and quick to respond in kind, reassuring tones. When my daughter voiced a concern about a vendor, Nicole contacted the vendor and called back within minutes.
The day came, a brilliant September sunny and 74 degrees in this glorious setting. Leanne guided the day's proceedings effortlessly, appearing quietly at all the right moments to add her touches to the reception. Our party was merely 24 people, so the reception was held in the Porcupine Room with its private balcony and scenic views. The lobster, steak, and lamb chops were excellent, and the soup bar (lobster bisque and clam chowder) was an enormous hit. From the vows to the sunset to the cutting of the cake, we could not have imagined anything better.
Thank you to Nicole and Leanne for making an emotional day a day without worry. Also, thank you to Augie and Jobert for taking care of all our needs in the Porcupine Room.
The Bar Harbor Inn is the perfect location for a wedding. We had the most amazing time, as did our guests who also stayed at the Inn. The staff is amazing, Nicole and Leanne were super helpful and accommodating. The staff at the spa was wonderful as well. The food was better than we could have imagined, and the wait staff was wonderful, we truly felt special.
Everyone at the Inn was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. All of the guests commented on what a wonderful location the Inn had and great food the Inn provided. The wedding coordinators were easy to work with responsive to our requests. The Bar Harbor Inn is a wonderful spot for a perfect wedding.
Our wedding at Bar Harbor Inn was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Nicole and Kelley were incredibly organized, detailed-oriented, and unbelievably amazing. The venue was gorgeous both for the ceremony and the reception. Our guests loved the food--we did the hor d'oeuvres reception. We asked for special details on the cake (flowers/cake pull charms) and it turned out EXACTLY how we requested. Overall, our guests had an amazing time and we could not have been happier with the entire event. We highly recommend the Bar Harbor Inn for a wedding venue. We can't wait to return for our anniversary next year!
The Bar Harbor Inn provided us with a fairy tale wedding! Wedding coordinator, Nicole Wallace, assisted us with the plans for a perfect wedding during the year leading up to the date. She is a gem! She was by our side during the year prior to the wedding and the day of. She is reliable, professional and took pride in making sure our day was perfect. We were married outside the inn overlooking the harbor on the most beautiful summer day. Our reception was held in the Porcupine Room which had the most beautiful balcony overlooking the harbor and islands. The food appetizers, food and drinks were outstanding. Our guests commented it was the most beautiful, special wedding they ever attended. I highly recommend this location to anyone planning their wedding. You are guaranteed a beautiful event. Many thanks to Nicole and the Bar Harbor Inn for memories that will last a lifetime!
Our wedding was just perfect! Everyone was so experienced and professional which allowed for us to have complete comfort in trusting them with all the details of our wedding. Everyone was also graciously accommodating. Overall just a very happy, pleasant experience!
The Bar Harbor Inn was incredible for my wedding. They were extremely organized, easy to work with, and were able to cater to every request I had. Nicole and Kelley were very helpful and on top of things. I would recommend the BHI to anyone!
I WOULD RECOMMEND THE BAR INN FOR A WEDDING, MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING WAS EVERYTHING WE COULD HAVE HOPED FOR. THE READING ROOM WAS SPOTLESS AND NICOLE OUR PLANNER MADE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WENT OFF W/O A HTCH THE ENTIRE DAY. ATHOUGH WE HAD HOPED TO BE OUTSIDE FOR THE SERVICE RAIN CHANGED OUR PLANS AND THE STAFF AT THE INN TRANSFORMED THE READING ROOM INTO A WARM BEAUTIFUL SITE FOR OUR SERVICE. OUR GUESTS LOVED THEIR ROOMS AND HAD FUN WALKING INTO TOWN TO SEE THE SIGHTS. I LOOKED AT AND MET WITH A NUMBER OF RESORTS ON THE COAST OF MAINE BEFORE DECIDING ON THE BAR HARBOR INN. I CAN HONESTLY SAY IN I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. THE BAR HARBOR INN PROVIDED MY DAUGHTER THE WEDDING OF HER DREAMS. THE FOOD, THE STAFF, THE VENUE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NICOLE WALLACE AND HER STAFF WERE EXCEPTIONAL.
Everyone at the Bar Harbor Inn did an outstanding job in the planning and production of our wedding. From initial contact right through brunch the morning after our event everything was perfect! They also were more than helpful in recommending local vendors including florists, musicians and photographers. All in all a great time and we are thankful to have had such a great group of people to work with. And of course, the location is stunning!
We celebrated our wedding at the BHI this May. We had really great time there. Nicole, Melissa and Kelley, the Bar Harbor Inn wedding planners, know their job well and helped us to plan and facilitate the wedding. It got a little confusing as Melissa got promoted out of the planning services while we were planning, and Kelley came on near the wedding date, but they were very organized and professional, so we hardly noticed the staff change. Their advice on vendors and timelines were invaluable! We were planning our wedding for about a year and they helped us set up a food and cake tasting at the reading room restaurant and recommended local vendors who were already familiar with the venue. We were going to do an outdoor ceremony until the rain ruined that plan, but they had the Porcupine room available, which they were able to get set up quite quickly and was really quite beautiful for our ceremony. Nicole and Kelley were there for pretty much the whole time making sure that everything that needed to happen happened. It went so smooth; we were relaxed and happy the whole wedding day and really got to enjoy ourselves without the stress! The food was great, the venue is beautiful, and the staff were very friendly and professional. Highly recommend Bar Harbor Inn for any wedding!
Contact person, Nicole, was absolutely wonderful. She made the process of wedding planning go smoothly by giving us direction, advice and options with the utmost professionalism. We definitely would recommend Bar Harbor Inn for any venue.
Nicole and Melissa were incredible. Planning my daughter's wedding from a distance with busy schedules (both daughter and son-in-law are teachers) had some challenges, but Nicole and Melissa were always responsive to emails and phone calls working out all the details with flexibility and efficiency. Though it rained the day of the wedding, they moved the wedding into an alternative setting with ease, and in the end was perfect.... intimate and sacred. I would highly recommend Bar Harbor Inn and Nicole and Melissa for your wedding venue.
We loved getting married in one of the most beautiful locations in Maine (most beautiful we would say). All of our guests enjoyed the food, and the wedding planners and the servers were professional and fun.
We had a wonderful experience with the Bar Harbor Inn for our wedding! Melissa and Nichole were attentive to each and every detail and made the wedding planning process a breeze! Both Melissa and Nichole were always accessible via phone or email. They provided a wonderful list of local services for us to utilize and we found a wonderful ceremony musician, officiant and florist based on their recommendations. I also came with a very specific plan and a fair amount of decorations for our reception and our room was set up even better than we imagined! Every individual detail was given their utmost attention and we had an absolutely magical day! Thanks so much for helping us with the best day of our lives!!
The Bar Harbor Inn Event Coordinator and Group Sales Manager made our wedding a perfect day and evening for us all. Both were responsive to questions and inspired confidence. They helped with our wedding rehearsal, ceremony, and dinner reception. They provided help for a handicapped guest all weekend, led us to lists of area hotels for our guests, to our excellent photographer, Joanna Thyer, and our excellent florist, Cottage Flowers. So far, we haven't received all the pictures from our photographer, but the link she already shared as a special favor on short notice displays photos beyond excellent. Our florist contacted me all year to make sure she was preparing what I wanted. The flowers, including the decoration of the arch, the vases on the tables, the flower girl's basket, the bouquet, and the boutonnière were all perfect! The cake was exactly as we'd expected, based on a picture of the Inn's website, and the food was presented beautifully. Guests were very impressed with the food. The wedding gown was steam-pressed, then presented in my hotel room in such an expertly artistic way that our photographer took more pictures of it than I could count that morning. I took many myself. Seeing that dress spread out and perfectly pressed truly got me into the mood for the magical feeling of the entire weekend. A special thank you goes to this woman! The Spa at the Bar Harbor Inn was a mix of fun and beautiful work for us. I loved the hot stone massage! Unfortunately, a difficult relative was involved, but the professionalism shown by the staff during an unfortunate temper tantrum was very impressive. It was convenient to have the hair and make-up person come to my room right before the ceremony. The only discomfort was that the reception room "air conditioning" really did not make the room cool, but going out onto the deck was a wonderful option once the sun went down. We have already highly recommend the Bar Harbor Inn to others!
If ever a place was able to make the whole day better; it is the Bar Harbor Inn. The food and drinks, the amazing service, and the breathtaking views; the Bar Harbor Inn has it all.
The selections available for the menu are delicious, from the cheese table to the filet and Maine lobster tail. Everything is presented beautifully at a reasonable price.The Inn also has the cake included. Ours had the lace patterns from my brides dress. Nicole helped us design a signature drink also.
Nicole was there for us throughout the year answering all questions. Then Melissa took over and assisted in the day running smoothly. The wait staff was courteous and attentive. The wedding party had their hair and make-up at the spa. Each lady looked amazing!
Finally, the feeling you get having your day at the Bar Harbor Inn makes everything relaxed, happy, calm and beautiful. We decided to have our reception at the Inn, while on vacation. We were having breakfast in the Reading Room and saw them setting up for a ceremony. We then decided to speak to Nicole. We are from Long Island, a wedding in Bar Harbor would force a destination wedding. We met before our 9 hour drive home. Nicole explained everything offered and answered all questions. Afterwards. we were excited to have the reception at the Inn. We left the calm, excited and happy to have it in Bar Harbor.
I would recommend the Inn to everyone. I would write a book here if I could. We love the Inn and are so very thankful. They made our day the most beautiful, joyous event in our lives. Thank you!!!!

'National Treasure' Writers Tackling 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune'; Director Neil Burger Exits
'National Treasure' Writers Tackling 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune'; Director Neil Burger Exits
Cain Rodriguez
Video games have always had trouble making it to the big screen: for every "Resident Evil" there's a "Halo"-like project stalling. The big-screen adaptation of "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" video game series was first announced during in the run up to "The Fighter" with David O. Russell potentially re-teaming with Mark Wahlberg. However, the studio, not wanting to deviate too far from the source material, replaced the director with "Limitless" helmer Neil Burger last summer. But now it looks like the production has hit another speed bump as Burger has bowed out of the director's chair and a pair of new writers have joined the adaptation.
"National Treasure" writing duo Marianne and Cormac Wibberley have been hired to rewrite "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," which will follow "Nathan Drake as he seeks the fabled lost treasure of El Dorado." The studio will apparently wait until a new draft is turned in until they start talking to directors.
To be honest, we lost all interest in the project when Russell left for greener pastures, and the hire of the "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" screenwriters doesn't help. At this point, does anyone honestly think it's going to be anything else other than a mediocre 'Indiana Jones' knock-off? If you're jonesing for some adventure check out the IMAX re-release of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" during its limited engagement run from September 7th to September 13th. Meanwhile, Burger is staying busy with a different franchise entirely, "Divergent." [Variety]

Pat Torpey (* 13. Dezember 1953 in Cleveland; † 7. Februar 2018) war ein US-amerikanischer Musiker. Er war ein Gründungsmitglied und Schlagzeuger der Rockband Mr. Big.

Karriere
Torpey begann als Siebenjähriger, Schlagzeug zu spielen. 1983 zog er nach Los Angeles, zwei Jahre später wurde er Schlagzeuger in der Band um John Parr, der zu der Zeit als Support von Tina Turner auf deren Private Dancer-Tournee spielte. Anschließend gehörte er zur Band von Belinda Carlisle während ihrer ersten Tournee, die sie im Vorprogramm von Robert Palmer bestritt. 1987 wurde er Mitglied der Band The Knack. Dort wurde er von Billy Sheehan und Paul Gilbert abgeworben, um mit ihnen Mr. Big zu gründen. Der Gruppe gelang es, einen Plattenvertrag bei Atlantic Records zu bekommen, doch bevor die Band mit den Aufnahmen zu ihrem Debütalbum beginnen konnte, begleitete Torpey Robert Plant auf dessen Tournee zu seinem Album Now and Zen.

Mr. Big entwickelte sich zu einem erfolgreichen Unternehmen, bevor sich die Gruppe 2002 zunächst auflöste.

2009 fand die Gruppe in Originalbesetzung wieder zusammen und veröffentlichte 2011 ein erfolgreiches Comeback-Album. Bereits zu dieser Zeit waren Torpey erste Symptome der Parkinson-Krankheit aufgefallen, die er jedoch zunächst verschwieg, die ihm aber die Arbeit erschwerten. Dennoch absolvierte er nach der Tournee zum 2011 veröffentlichten Album What If... auch die 2013 begonnenen Aufnahmen zum Nachfolgealbum … The Stories We Could Tell und gab seine Erkrankung erst im Juli 2014 öffentlich bekannt. Während der Tournee zu diesem Album spielte Torpey bei ausgewählten Stücken sowie dem Akustikteil jeder Show selbst.

Er wirkte auch weiterhin in der Band mit und beteiligte sich als Coach an den Aufnahmen zum 2017 erschienenen Album Defying Gravity, für das Matt Starr die Schlagzeugspuren einspielte. Mit Starr am Schlagzeug ging die Band gemeinsam mit Torpey auch die Tournee zu diesem Album. Torpey unterstützte seine Band als Sänger von Backing Vocals und Percussionist. Bei einem Konzert in Japan übernahm Torpey im Zugabenteil den Gesang, während Sänger Eric Martin Schlagzeug spielte. Mit ihm als Sänger spielte die Gruppe das Lied We're an American Band von Grand Funk Railroad, und Torpey "ist über die Bühne gerannt und hat alles in Bund und Boden gerockt". Im weiteren Verlauf der Tournee, die über Südostasien nach Europa führte, schwanden Torpeys Kräfte jedoch merklich, und am Ende der Tour erklärte er, dass er "alles gegeben" habe und die Band "in Zukunft wohl ohne ihn auskommen" müsse. Sein letztes Konzert mit Mr. Big spielte er am 23. November 2017 in Wolverhampton.

Torpey starb am 7. Februar 2018 im Alter von 64 Jahren aufgrund von "Komplikationen, die durch seine Parkinson-Erkrankung bedingt waren."

i keep consistently drawing this card lately. wish i knew what it meant.
currently i am as happy as any of whom you would have slightly even cared to wish.
maybe that has something to do with the suit or relativity of the draw.
wish i knew what to do as far as a remedy goes.
disease has undertaken me and my family in a sick, cyclical kind of way.
this negative karma may simply be too static to fix.
at least thats what seems to be as far as my observations go.
any old, lost love i may have retained since the glory years has been completely drained.
there is no longer any aspire or desire.
burnt out and withered within the bleak nether.
how pitiful for any whom may envy me when i do not even care to be.
my infinity is collapsing and dwindling, severing.
maybe I begin to rot to dust and let the afterthought sweep me into the waste of eternity.
its all over for me as far as any kind of joy is concerned.
i only remain it seems to look forward to my demise.
nothing more for you to gloat about here, have at thee thou fiend!

Q: Are there any good Star Wars resources about mouse droids that reference a video sensor? I am writing a story from the perspective of a Star Wars mouse droid (seen on Death Star). Are there any good resources (short stories, cross-sections, interviews, concept sketches, etc.) which reveal the mouse droid's internals?
Specifically, I am wondering if mouse droids have a video sensor.

A: Yes.

*Star Wars - The Essential Guide to Droids (published in 1999) has mouse droid details including diagrams in pages 124/125. (I didn't check "The new Essential Guide" from 2003 but presumably it has that too).

*Cynabar's Fantastic Technology: Droids RPG sourcebook has some details

Sensors
The droid had electro-photoreceptors and auditory sensor and miniature holocam.

Q: Clean Design to Handle Multiple Result Sets from IDataReader Maybe SO isn't the place for this, and I apologize if it's not, but I can't help but think there's a better way to do this.  This just seems like a gross and not very clean way of checking which result set I'm on and then performing a corresponding action.  Anyone have any suggestions?  (Please ignore the fact I'm always returning null).
public MemberDto Load(long entityId)
    {
        using (var cn = new SqlConnection(@"connectionstringstuff"))
        {
            cn.Open();
            using (SqlCommand cm = cn.CreateCommand())
            {
                cm.CommandText = "Client.[MemberGet]";
                cm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

                cm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EntityId", entityId);

                using (IDataReader dr = cm.ExecuteReader())
                {
                    var memberModel = new MemberDto();
                    do
                    {
                        while (dr.Read())
                        {
                            var sdr = new SafeDataReader(dr);
                            var firstColumn = sdr.GetName(0);
                            if (firstColumn.StartsWith("Attribute"))
                            {
                                AddAttribute(memberModel, sdr);
                            }
                            else if (firstColumn.StartsWith("AlternateId"))
                            {
                                AddAlternateId(memberModel, sdr);
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                memberModel.ClientId = sdr.GetInt64("ClientId");
                                memberModel.Id = sdr.GetInt64("EntityId");
                                memberModel.Name = sdr.GetString("EntityName");
                            }
                        }
                    } while (dr.NextResult());
                }
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

    private void AddAttribute(MemberDto model, SafeDataReader reader)
    {
        model.Attributes.Add(
            reader.GetInt32("AttributeTypeId").As<EntityAttributeType>(),
            reader.GetString("Value"));
    }

    private void AddAlternateId(MemberDto model, SafeDataReader reader)
    {
        model.Attributes.Add(
            reader.GetInt32("AlternateIdTypeId").As<EntityAttributeType>(),
            reader.GetString("Value"));
    }

A: The way that we approach this is not to loop on the nextresult, but explicitly code it to match the underlying data. It is somewhat more visually obvious what the expected results are with this approach (in my opinion, of course).
Here is an example rewrite, assuming the order is membermodel, attributes, and alternates.
    while (dr.Read())
    {
        var sdr = new SafeDataReader(dr);
        memberModel.ClientId = sdr.GetInt64("ClientId");
        memberModel.Id = sdr.GetInt64("EntityId");
        memberModel.Name = sdr.GetString("EntityName");
    }
    if (dr.NextResult())
    {
        while (dr.Read())
        {
            AddAttribute(memberModel, new SafeDataReader(dr));
        }
    }
    if (dr.NextResult())
    {
        while (dr.Read())
        {
            AddAlternateId(memberModel, new SafeDataReader(dr));
        }
    }

A: Perhaps all sp that return multiple resultsets should always include first a resultset specifiying which resultsets are returned in which order:
dr = multRsCmd.ExecureReader();

// first rs is always the meta
List<string> resultSetIds = new List<string>();
while (dr.Read())
   resultSetIds.Add(dr[0]

foreach (string rsId in resultSetIds)
{

   if (!dr.NextResult())
      break; // or throw, should not happen

   if (rsId == "ClientDataWithAttribute")
   {
      // code to handle the exact rs layout for ClientDataWithAttribute
      //
      //
   }
   else if (rsId == "ClientDataWithAltId")
   {
      // code to handle the exact rs layout for ClientDataWithAltId
      //
      //
   }
   else if (rsId == "ClientData")
   {
      // code to handle the exact rs layout for ClientData
      //
      //
   }

}

This of course screams out for refactoring:
dr = multRsCmd.ExecureReader();

// first rs is always the meta
List<string> resultSetIds = new List<string>();
while (dr.Read())
   resultSetIds.Add(dr[0]

foreach (string rsId in resultSetIds)
{

   if (!dr.NextResult())
      break; // or throw, should not happen

   // pull subclass out of registry of readers
   ResultSetReader rsr = ResultSetReaders.Find(rsId);

   // subclass cleanly holds the layout-dependent logic
   memberModel = rsr.FromDataReader(dr);

 }

That looks pretty clean, but you could even add default behavior in the ResultSetReader to drive the DTO property mapping from a config file or other source and only override when you get special conditions.  You get the idea.


A systematic record of facts or different values of a quantity is called data.
Statistics deals with collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data.
Arranging data in a order to study their salient features is called presentation of data.
A frequency distribution table that shows the frequency of each individual value in the given data is called an ungrouped frequency distribution table.
The groupings used to group the values in given data are called classes or class-intervals. The number of values that each class contains is called the class size or class width. The lower value in a class is called the lower class limit. The higher value in a class is called the upper class limit.
Class mark of a class is the mid value of the two limits of that class.
A frequency distribution in which the upper limit of one class differs from the lower limit of the succeeding class is called an Inclusive or discontinuous Frequency Distribution.
A bar graph is a pictorial representation of data in which rectangular bars of uniform width are drawn with equal spacing between them on one axis, usually the x axis. The value of the variable is shown on the other axis that is the y axis.
The mean value of a variable is defined as the sum of all the values of the variable divided by the number of values.
A survey was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environment awareness programmes, in which they collected the following data regarding the number of plants in 30 houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.
2)	Multiply fi x i and find the sum of it.
4)	Use the above formula and find the mean.
Find the mean by using direct method.
1)	Prepare a frequency table.
2)	Choose A and take deviations di = xi - A of the values of xi .
3)	Multiply fi d i and find the sum of it.
Find the mean by using Assumed Mean method.
This method is quite useful when the values of f and x are large. It makes the calculation further easiar by dividing the deviation from common factor.
2)	Choose A and h and take ui = (xi –a)/h of the values of xi .
3)	Multiply fi u i and find the sum of it.
Find the mean by using Step Deviation method.
1)The mean obtained by all these three methods are same.
2) The assumed mean method and step-deviation method are just simplified forms of the direct method.
The cumulative frequency of a class is the frequency obtained by adding the frequencies of all the classes preceding the given class.
The table above is called a cumulative frequency distribution of the more than type.
To calculate the median height, we need to find the class intervals and their corresponding frequencies.
h (the class size) = 5.
We can represent Cummulative frequency distribution on the graph also. To represent the data in the table graphically, we mark the upper limits of the class intervals on the horizontal axis (x-axis) and their corresponding cumulative frequencies on the vertical axis (y-axis), choosing a convenient scale.
When we draw the graph for the cumulative frequency distribution of the less than type.The curve we get is called a cumulative frequency curve, or an ogive (of the less than type).
When we draw the graph for the cumulative frequency distribution of the more than type.The curve we get is called a cumulative frequency curve, or an ogive (of the more than type).
3. The ........ frequency of a class is the frequency obtained by adding the frequencies of all the classes preceding the given class.
5. It is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in data set.

Q: Idiom meaning that something doesn't happen often, but happens more than needed when it does? I remember that there was an idiom that describes something that doesn't happen often, but happens more than needed when it finally does.
Hypothetical scenario that could be described by such an idiom: Let's say that I spend the whole year asking for a Playstation 4. When Christmas comes around three family members offer me the same console.

A: An alternative saying to the good one suggested by @Dan  Bron is:
When it rains, it pours

*

*When something good or bad occurs, it usually occurs more than once and often within a short period of time:

*

*"I have a new supervisor at the office, three new assistants to train, and enough work to keep me busy for months — when it rains, it pours." (AHD)

A: There is the common cliché that you

"waited all day for a bus, and then three came along at once".

Wikipedia mentions this saying.
There are many internet examples; there are many tweaks ('You wait ages for a bus... then FORTY-THREE come along ...'!), and even a scientific analysis of why it happens in a New Scientist article:

Anyone who has waited for a bus knows the routine: you wait far longer
  than you should, then three come along at once. The problem, called
  "platooning", plagues buses, trains and even elevators....

The expression is also used metaphorically; here is an example from The Wordfoolery Blog.

A: Another idiom is either feast or famine. This refers to exactly the type of situation you describe. One experiences a dearth of something they need (a metaphorical famine), except at those times when they receive an overabundance (a feast), possibly including more of the needed thing than they have any use for.

A: When something terrible happens, we brace for something else. "Everything comes in threes."

A: Here's the actual saying or idiom you are asking about.  I believe it stands very well on its own, not requiring any metaphorical description:
"It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it happens all the time."
It's a beauty in my book, as there are things that we experience that appear to happen just like that.  It could be used as a useful addon to amplify certain aspects of "Murphy's Law", as well as in many other places.
This my friends, is the definitive answer to the question posted.  It should be given the green check mark, NOT the one checked above.
