Overgeared
Borneo.
The Gauss players started to feel excited.
'What? 9 million dollars just for inflicting an injury?'
'900 million for killing...!'
How many chances like this would appear before ordinary people? It was low enough that it wouldn't be strange if they never experienced it. Katz's proposal was enough to capture the Gauss players.
'Money!'
'I will become rich!'
Money! Money! Money! This was a capitalist society that produced new monsters, a very desirable phenomenon for Katz.
"Seuron, give me one blow please."
"No, please just die. Yes? Please."
The eyes of the Gauss players changed. They revealed their intent to kill a high ranker that they normally wouldn't go against. Seuron was recognized as prey, like a chicken trapped in a poultry farm. Seuron gulped as he was surrounded by the Gauss players.
"Do you really believe his words? Aren't you just fools?"
The average level of the Gauss players was 100, with no rankers among them. If Seuron were behind some fortifications like Katz, he wouldn't care how many opponents there were. But unlike Katz, however, Seuron was alone in the middle of enemy territory. He was isolated among thousands of enemies. Even the 'Soul Predator' Seuron had to feel tense.
Seuron determined that he had to be careful and tried to speak with a calm expression, "This isn't $90,000 or $900,000. It is 9 million dollars and 900 million. Does it make sense that he will keep this promise?"
In other words, it was worth billions of won. No matter how wealthy a person was, spending that much money just to hunt one person in a game? It was a bluff. Seuron was sure of it and people started to become dubious.
"It is a lot of money. No matter how rich Katz is, can he really spend this much?"
"That... I would've believed it if it was a more realistic amount."
They could gain enough money to reverse their life if they dealt one injury to Seuron! This extraordinary condition ended up grabbing Katz' ankle. The Gauss players started to doubt Katz words and Seuron felt relief.
"Kukuk! Kuahahahat!" Katz' shoulders shook as he laughed from the wall. "People are fun. It is beyond your imagination so you deny it? Look, your imagination is too weak."
That was the only problem they had? Then he would adjust the level.
"I will correct the amount. I will give 100 million yen to people who injure Seuron and 10 billion yen for the person who kills him. I promise in the name of the JIN Group. How about it? Are you going to believe it?"
People didn't know how scary a madman with a lot of money was. Why? It was rare to see a madman with a lot of money!
"What are you doing? If you want to make money then you have to kill that beggar." Katz prompted with cold eyes.
It was the spark.
"Waaaaaaaaah!"
The players in the Gauss army no longer hesitated. Katz offered much better incentives than the quest rewards, making them all rush towards Seuron. Seuron shrank back from surprise and roared.
"Shit...! Shit!! Overgeareddddd!"
The Overgeared Guild was a nightmare for Seuron. He was killed by a farmer in the invasion of Reidan and was unable to do anything big in the National Competition due to the Overgeared members wearing the items that Grid made. Seuron hated the Overgeared Guild, who left a stain on his life. He wanted to trample on them and get rid of the shameful past.
Yet now he was being trampled on with the power of money? Why did he get stuck in a situation where he was tied up with the Overgeared members? It was enough to drive Seuron crazy.
"Do you think you can leave a scratch on me?"
"Kill! Kill Seuron!"
"We don't have anyone strong. Hit him at the same time! One hit means a lot of money!"
"It's mine!!"
A clash between the angry Seuron and the money-blinded Gauss players! Katz enjoyed the fierce sight from the walls. The power of money that made enemies into allies caused the whole world to shake.
Bairan's siege had a special pattern. It was the first ever siege where the role of the one being sieged and the one attacking completely reversed.
Kiiiiik!
The firmly closed gate of Bairan once again opened.
"Hiik! Again!"
"D-Damage once again! Use the soldiers as a shield!"
The players belonging to Eternal started to retreat. The formations collapsed in an instant. The formations were a mess due to the players and the command system was temporarily paralyzed. The battlefield instantly became a mess.
"I will show you my spirit today."
Pon rose a white horse through the open gate and threw his spear. Rail Spear.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The lightning spear blew through the Eternal army like a lightning storm. Hundreds of soldiers and players turned to grey.
"Hiyah!"
Pon pulled out a new spear and ran out. He broke into the collapsed Eternal formation and wielded his spear. The soldiers were slaughtered. It was the scene of a one-sided massacre due to the overwhelming power difference. But the massacre didn't last long.
Just 100 people. Pon defeated 100 people before recovering his spear and returning.
"Foolish guys! I told you not to let the ranks break!"
"Reform the ranks! The enemy's next attack is coming!"
The commanders verified that Pon was gone and gave orders to the soldiers. They wanted the siege weapons that arrived late to be escorted. But time was too tight. In addition, the players were a problem. The average level of the players at Bairan was 140. Apart from a few people, the majority were low-level users who hadn't received military training. The commanders did their best but the speed of the formations was too slow.
In the meantime, Yura emerged from the gate.
"I can't let you use the siege weapons."
Peeng!
A Demon Slayer acquired black magic power each time they slew demonkin. She could use this black magic as a resource to activate special skills. One of them was black magic. This was a specialty of Yura who used to be first in the black magic rankings. She summoned black spheres and bombarded the enemy soldiers escorting the siege weapons. Her aim was the siege weapon and no one could stop her.
The elite Eternal soldiers were still only level 180. Their abilities were useless in front of Yura's agility and aggressiveness, making them fall into helplessness.
Kurururung!
"Shit! How long will we let her run wild?"
The Eternal players realized the seriousness of the situation when they saw the collapsing siege weapons and firmed up their hearts. They started to concentrate on attacking Yura. They were eager to clear the quest as they fired arrows and magic. Their average level was lower than the soldiers but Yura was tired from the war that lasted five days.
Pepepepeng!
Yura started to allow attacks. She came out of the castle to fight, so she was physically and mentally at her limits. The good news was that Eternal's players were weak. The difference in level and items was so severe that Yura wasn't seriously injured. After barely enduring the attacks of the enemies and defeating the quota of 100 people, she returned to the castle.
Kuuong!
She flopped down as soon as the gate closed. Yura sat down. She gasped for breath as she sweated, while Pon spoke to her.
"The supplies are running out. The archers on the wall don't have as many arrows and are running out of potions. We might only be able to last two more days."
Yura, Toon, and other skills members of Overgeared were concentrated in Bairan. They alternated going out of the castle and attacking the enemies in order to protect the castle without a loss of troops. But this wasn't possible forever. They couldn't get enough rest so their stamina recovery speed was slow and the durability of their items was at the bottom. Their potions were also running out.
It was a desperate situation for Bairan. But Yura didn't want to give up Bairan.
"Definitely... I will definitely keep it. It will be dangerous for Patrian if Bairan collapses."
How much longer could they hold? Yura, Pon, Toon, and the Overgeared members. They risked their lives but wouldn't be able to hold on for more than two days. Bairan would be finished if there were no reinforcements.
Chaaeng! Chaeeeeeng!
"Kikik! Kikikikik!"
Puk.
Red Sun Forest. For Korean players, it was known as the 'Hypnotic Forest,' where strange sights could be seen. The dubrick racer, or the nimble creatures that were deemed 'unhuntable' due to their species characteristics were being slaughtered by a single swordsman.
Seokeok!
Puhahahak!
A speed that couldn't be avoided. The white sword belonging to Kraugel blocked the dubrick racers that were three times faster than humans. The monsters that were 60 levels higher than him died. He wiped the sweat off his skin that was as beautiful as a woman's and tucked his hair behind his ears. His high nose and deep eyes were revealed. The man was handsome enough to capture the hearts of men and women.
"Kraugel."
Hao arrived at Kraugel's side. After discovering that Ares' men were aiming for Kraugel, he stayed by Kraugel's side for protection. Now he asked with an anxious expression.
"Is it really okay if you don't go and help Overgeared?"
Kraugel had a great liking for Overgeared, and couldn't hide his impatience while he grasped the war situation of Overgeared in real time. It seemed like he wanted to go and help Overgeared. But Kraugel continued hunting without heading to the Eternal Kingdom.
"Please let me know if there is anything stopping you from helping. I will assist you."
Kraugel could tell what Hao thought in his heart, since he was now quite familiar with Hao. Kraugel made a bitter smile and said, "Grid will want to avoid getting help from me."
"Why do you think that?"
"We are rivals before we are friends."
Pangea, the East Continent.
"Today is the third day..."
Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!
The White Hammer blacksmiths were uneasy. Grid had been constantly hammering for the last three days. Could a person be okay after working three days without any rest? In particular, forging was something that required a tremendous amount of stamina. They were concerned about Grid's health.
"Captain White, what do we do if Grid falls down? Shouldn't he rest for a while?"
White shook his head at the concerned question. White was also showing signs of weariness. It was the aftermath of watching Grid work without sleeping for the past three days.
"Don't disturb the concentration of Pangea's Duke of Virtue."
Grid was a craftsman. Once he put his soul into making an item, he wouldn't stop for food and rest. The work was the most important thing to them. White knew this because he grew up watching his father. He never intended to disturb Grid. This was a great choice.
Grid was able to focus with White's support and succeeded in smelting the Red Phoenix Breath one day earlier than expected.
"Now... Now it is the real work."
Hwaruruk!
Grid increased the temperature of the furnace. The Legendary Blacksmith's Patience was activated for the fourth time and reduced his fatigue.
Grid started the making of the Red Phoenix Bow. He had a vague inkling.
'The best masterpiece will be born.'
It was a well-founded confidence.

Panel Explores Accreditation and Role of HBCUs During COVID-19 Crisis
Sarah Wood
Higher education leaders convened virtually Nov. 19 to discuss the role of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and accreditation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prairie View A&M University's Minority Achievement, Creativity and High-Ability Center (MACH-III) hosted the webcast that was moderated by Dr. Jamal Watson, a professor at Trinity Washington University and contributor to Diverse: Issues In Higher Education.
"The good news is that every institution in the universe is being impacted by COVID," said Dr. Belle S. Wheelan, president of Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. "The bad news is that every institution in the universe is being impacted by COVID."
Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette
She began the webinar by discussing accreditation, saying it is a "process of continued improvement."
To understand more about the accreditation process from an administrative perspective, Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette, president of Huston-Tillotson University (HT), recommended learning the standards and history of the institution.
Wheelan added that getting involved in on-campus efforts and reading the most recent self-study on the institution provide the opportunity to see and understand the current challenges.
"We suggest to institutions that they deal with accreditation every year, not just wait until the two years before the process begins," she said. "Because that way, you can continually improve and you have fewer recommendations once the team comes in."
As COVID-19 shifted courses online, institutions were forced to find other ways to assess student learning to meet accreditation requirements.
"One of the things that we have told all of our institutions is that because every institution is impacted by this, the peers that will come in to evaluate compliance understand because they are having to go through the same thing," said Wheelan. "However, it does not relieve anybody of meeting the standards."
The grading system was looked at, with many institutions offering one of two options: the choice between either a letter grade or pass/fail.
At institutions such as Central State University (CSU), faculty decided to continue using letter grades.
"[They] worked with the students by offering increased support, flexible deadlines in order to maintain academic integrity," said Dr. Jack Thomas, president of CSU. "And to make sure that the students were continuing to pursue excellence rather than just simply giving them a pass fail."
Remote learning also brought on another challenge: access.
Dr. Jack Thomas
At Jarvis Christian College (JCC), for example, 78% of students did not have laptops or other technology while 73% of students lacked Wi-Fi. Some faculty members also did not have access to laptops at home, according to Dr. Lester C. Newman, president of JCC.
To meet the campus community's technology needs and supply resources, the college used funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As part of the Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEER) Fund under the CARES Act, $1.4 billion in additional funding was set aside for minority-serving institutions, the United States Department of Education reported.
In addition to government funding, institutions launched their own fundraising efforts.
HT established the COVID-19 Support Fund, to financially assist students working to complete their degrees. The ongoing campaign has raised a little over $1 million, according to Burnette.
"That is another one of those empowering moments for a small, historically Black college in a city like Austin to be able to raise those type of funds," she said. "That was really a telling tale of what we can do."
Additionally, when Thomas began his presidency, he donated $50,000 of his salary toward scholarships. His donation was matched and with support from alumni, nearly $1 million has been received thus far.
Outside of financial support, schools have also provided other resources to students during this time such as mentoring and mental health services.
"Understanding that it is not an easy transition for them to leave campus, go home and still do what we expect them to do as relates to academics," said Newman. "It is a little bit much for a lot of our students. So, we also have to meet them in terms of where they are and provide that support that they need as it relates to not only their physical health but their mental health as well."
The safety students find in HBCUs was also lost amid campus shutdowns.
"Our campus is a safe harbor for our students," said Newman. "And unfortunately, our students went back into communities that were not prepared to deal with a pandemic, went back to families that many of them had great challenges."
Despite the challenges, there is optimism going forward into the upcoming year.
"I am very hopeful that we get beyond this pandemic and that we continue to provide a world class education for our students," said Thomas. "And that we are not just surviving during this pandemic, that we are thriving. We also say that innovation is in our DNA. We want to thrive, move forward and use this as a learning process to get us to where we should be anyways and do some exciting, cutting edge kinds of things that would help us as a university."

Q: Writing a list of xml nodes recursively in scala I'm learning scala and have problem with writing an xml file.
Suppose I have a
case class Coordinate(x: Int, y: Int)

and
val l = List(Coordinate(1,3), Coordinate(2,4), Coordinate(3,5))

I need to print an xml file with the format:
<root>
  <object>
    <coord x="1" y="3"/>
    <coord x="2" y="4"/>
    <coord x="3" y="5"/>
  </object>
</root>`

I'm trying to implement it recursively so it will work on large amount of Coordinates data and multiple
<object>.

I have tried to print the output first to check the result with this:
def convertToXML(l: List[Coordinate]): Unit = {
  def eachCoordToXML(coord: Coordinate): scala.xml.Node = {
    <coord x={ coord.x.toString }  y={ coord.y.toString } />
  }

  val newObject =
    <object>
      { l.foreach(eachCoordToXML(_)) }
    </object>

  println(newObject.mkString)
}

and the result showed up something like this
<object>

</object>

Can anyone guide me here, what did I go wrong?
or is there any better/more efficient way to write xml node recursively?

A: You are doing everything right! You just need to use map instead of foreach!
foreach in scala returns Unit.

For example, I would like to slice it after every 5th row and store the rows indexed 1-4 and 5-9 each in a single CSV (so in this case I would get 2 new CSVs), row 10 should be discarded.
One issue is that I'll have to apply this to multiple files which differ in length as well as naming the newly created CSVs.

A: You can do it with a for loop:
for i in range(round(len(df)/5)): #This ensures all rows are captured
   df.loc[i*5:(i+1)*5,:].to_csv('Stored_files_'+str(i)+'.csv')

So the first iteration it'll be rows 0 to 5 stored with name "Stored_files_0.csv
The second iteration rows 5 to 10 with name "Stored_files_1.csv"
And so on...

Message from BTSS President, Melissa Lim
Dear BTSS Family,
About this time last year, we abruptly cancelled our Chinese New Year support group meeting and customary "Lohei". In addition, our 6th Founder's Day celebration scheduled in March 2020 and Brainy Car Rally in Nov 2020 were scrapped.
In response, BTSS very quickly instituted our ZOOM support group meetings under the leadership of committee member, Peter Koh. With the assistance of volunteers Katherine Chin and William Seah, our Support Group Team has been able to reach out to many new members and refer them to receive practical assistance through BTSS counselling and welfare programmes.
BTSS worked closely with NCSS to distribute COVID-19 care packages and masks donated by thoughtful members of our community. We also moved our Medical Talks online, covering topics like 'Brain Tumours and COVID-19' and 'Side Effects of BT Treatments'. To maintain engagement with our community, we started BTSS Birthday Blessings under the leadership of committee member, Nam, who is assisted by volunteer William Seah.
With our Fund Raising severely affected by the pandemic, BTSS launched a digital campaign based on the inspiring life story of our committee member, Shawn Low, on Facebook and YouTube. The funds raised are still modest and we appreciate your kind support to share our campaign and donate generously towards our establishment and programmes.
Several community events were facilitated through ZOOM. Towards the end of 2020, we were able to resume small group events such as the local tours while our youths also organised 2 small group outings. We are planning to organise some interesting small group events in March 2021 in celebration of our 7th Founder's Day. Watch out for more details!
The greatest impact of COVID-19 restrictions has been on those who are newly diagnosed, those undergoing active treatments and facing relapses. Thanks to BTSS WhatsApp groups, these members have been able to receive peer support in their toughest times. To encourage and facilitate even more discussion and interaction, BTSS will activate a BTSS Facebook Community Group in April 2021.
Behind the scenes in 2020, BTSS Senior Manager, Jackie Lee, had been busy working with the EXCO to set-up our financial and governance systems. Jackie has requested to step down as an employee of BTSS on 28 Feb 2021 to focus her attention on her family. Thankfully, Jackie will remain with BTSS as an EXCO member. The EXCO has decided to split her portfolio between 2 new executives. Ms Crystal Tan is currently on a WSG Career Trial with us and will join as a Finance and Governance Executive on a part-time work arrangement in March. Our new Programme Executive, Ms Janie Joseph, will join BTSS full-time on 15 March 2021. In a nutshell, Crystal will process all members' grant applications and claims while Janie will be point of liaison for members, volunteers and partners for BTSS online and in-person events and programmes.
The mission of BTSS has always been 'Connecting to Befriend, Enable and Empower' so that we can walk with every brain tumour patient and family at every stage of their brain tumour journey. With increased manpower capacity, BTSS is looking forward to adding more value to our members and supporters through better outreach and governance.
In closing, although it was a challenging disease that has brought us together, we have built a meaningful supportive community that has been conferred the Inspirational Patient Group Award by Singapore Health in 2020. Indeed, having a brain tumour does not limit our capacities to live life well, as many in our community have shown from their inspiring examples. I encourage our amazing BTSS community to grow in our core values of Benevolence, Thoughtfulness, Spiritedness and Service to be more and do more for ourselves, our families, our community and country.

The Balahar are a Hindu caste found in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. They are also known as chatriya and have OBC status.

Origin

The word balahar means a crier or summoner in Hindi. They are said to have acquire this name from the fact that they were traditionally employed as part of an informal police force by princely states of India, and their duties included carry out the summons of the prince . Like other Hindu occupational castes, they might be of diverse origin, but are now bound by rules of endogamy. In Uttar Pradesh, the Balahar claim to have originate from Jaipur in Rajasthan, and claim to be Rajputs. They are chiefly in the Bundelkhand and Doab regions.

Present circumstances

The Balahar are strictly endogamous community, and practice the principle of clan exogamy. These clans are referred  to as , and their main  include the Nadani, Mahor, Bagri, Sorauja, Itkan, Pharer, Jaroliya, Dheran, and Turkiya.  The Balahar are a community of agriculturists, almost evenly divided between peasant proprietors and sharecroppers . Their traditional occupation of watchmen and bodyguards is now extinct. They are Hindu, but also practice ancestor worship.

As a Dalit community, they often suffer from societal discrimination. They live in multi-caste villages, but occupy distinct quarters. Each of their settlement contains an informal caste council, known as a biradari panchayat.  The panchayat acts as instrument of social control, dealing with issues such as divorce and adultery.

The 2011 Census of India for Uttar Pradesh showed the Balahar population as 5029.

The security industry is usually very quiet about how security affects their products.
So in the new 3rd Quarter IBM threat intelligence Quarterly for 3rd quarter.
April 8, 2014 is when Heartbleed vulnerability was revealed as one can see from the US-CERT.
Which stated that the OpenSSL versions 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 does not have the vulnerability whereas the version 1.0.1g has the vulnerability, as well as 1.0.2 beta as in this Note.
Knowing when the heartbleed vulnerability came into being one sees an almost immediate scan activity from hackers.In fact in one week by 4/15 the activity reached 300k scans/attacks.
In case you are in denial of potential Internet attacks to your infrastructure... here is some evidence that shows the attacks from hackers after a vulnerability was exposed. And the top graph shows the continuing attacks on infrastructure many months after the vulnerability was exposed.


A new program to connect shoppers from Menlo Park, Portola Valley, Woodside and Atherton with local businesses is launching today at ShopMenloPark.com.
The new website — a directory of nearly all businesses in Menlo Park, Portola Valley and Woodside — features profiles of companies, special offers and coupons, restaurant menus, photos, maps, event announcements and more.
The program is a collaboration of The Almanac, the Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce, Hometown Peninsula and the city of Menlo Park. Its aim is to raise awareness of the products and services offered by local merchants and their importance to the vitality of the community.
More than 400 Menlo Park businesses have already created their Shop Menlo Park profiles or posted information in preparation of the launch of the site.
"We are excited to launch what will be the most comprehensive and interactive local business directory available anywhere," said Tom Gibboney, publisher of The Almanac.
"While there are many other attempts at business directories out there, none offers either residents or business owners the breadth of features of ShopMenloPark.com," Mr. Gibboney said. "And none is supported by the marketing reach of the local newspaper and the dominant community website."
With ShopMenloPark.com, any business physically located in Menlo Park, Portola Valley or Woodside can create a free profile, including photos, product offerings, coupons, links to its website, gift certificates and much more. Businesses can promote their special events, create additional Web pages and sell merchandise online. Restaurants can upload their menus. A verification process helps to ensure the greatest possible accuracy of the content.
Local residents can search for businesses by name or category, display profiles with maps and contact information, browse special offers of all merchants, buy gift certificates, and post comments about individual businesses.
New offers or updates to a business profile can be quickly spotted through a news feed on the site.
A multimedia marketing campaign will promote ShopMenloPark.com through The Almanac, on AlmanacOnline.com, and in Express, the news digest e-mailed to more than 4,000 people each day.
In addition to ShopMenloPark.com, similar sites are being launched in Palo Alto (ShopPaloAlto.com) and Mountain View (ShopMountainView.com.). Users of any of the sites can choose to search businesses in the other communities as well.
The "shop local" movement is gaining visibility and supporters throughout the nation, as studies have shown that communities benefit more from dollars spent close to home. In addition to keeping sales-tax revenue in the community to support the schools and other programs, 68 percent of the money spent at a locally owned business remains in the community, compared to only 43 percent for national chain store purchases, research has shown.
"This initiative will not only help connect local residents with local businesses, it will help inform residents on why locally owned businesses are so important to the character, attractiveness and economic vitality of the community," said Clark Kepler, president and founder of Hometown Peninsula, one of the sponsors of ShopMenloPark.com and an alliance of locally owned businesses.
Hope that means more businesses will cater to families with affordable clothing, foods and services. I don't shop Menlo because I can't get everything I need at a fair price.
I would welcome this but the biggest problem with shopping in Menlo Park is how few spaces there are with those ridiculous half car length crosses in between spaces & how horrible it is with the fact that the parking police give you a horrible ticket if you are two inches in the "cross" or 5 min utes over your allotted time--makes me choose Palo Alto any chance I get. So many businesses in MP say they have complained vigorously to the powers that be with no changes. That really should be addressed!
Now that the Almanac is deeply involved in a movement that supports "local" it may be difficult for them to cover stories that are impartial to "chain" businesses.

Tell Me About Your Project!
Nico Rivers Composer Reel
Sound has always fascinated me. The more I learn about how and why it works, the more it seems like magic. But the real magic isn't in the science, it's the way music evokes memories and feelings. That special moment when the melody hits it's peak and the singer's voice cracks just a little bit, the sound of scraping glass in the background or a dissonant harmony can send us into another world.
As a composer I do my best to harness that magic with every tool at my disposal, sometimes employing unexpected thematic elements to create sounds and melodies - a birdcage played with a violin bow, a howling police siren, or a revving chainsaw to name a few.
My goal is always to serve the emotion of the project and help your work pull viewers into the world of the story.

Million urged for French protest
Opponents of a new French labour law are calling for at least a million people to demonstrate against the controversial legislation on Saturday.
Some 300 people were arrested on Thursday after mass rallies ended in violence in Paris and other cities.
French President Jacques Chirac has called for immediate talks between ministers and trade union leaders.
Mr Chirac said the law was important for fighting joblessness and called for further protests to be peaceful.
Many trade unionists and students oppose the new youth employment law because it allows new workers under the age of 26 to be dismissed within a two-year trial period.
'Open to dialogue'
The BBC's Caroline Wyatt in Paris says the street protests are fast turning into the biggest headache French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has had to face.
He came to office in the aftermath of the French "no" to the European constitution last May - a rejection that resulted from a similar mixture of mistrust of the French government and a wider sense of disgruntlement in France, our correspondent adds.
Mr de Villepin, the architect of the law, said he was open to dialogue and would meet university presidents to seek solutions.
But he refused to withdraw the law, which he said was essential in combating youth unemployment.
Students fear the First Employment Contract (CPE), which passed into law last week, will erode job stability in a country where more than 20% of 18- to 25-year-olds are unemployed - more than twice the national average.
Mr de Villepin's government proposed the law to help youths in the French suburbs who took to the streets last year, many unhappy with the lack of employment opportunities.
Echoes of 1968
The worst violence on Thursday was in Paris, where riot police fired rubber bullets and tear gas. Unrest was also reported in some of the other 80 cities holding rallies.
The Paris march, which police said was attended by 30,000 but which organisers put at 120,000-strong, was mainly peaceful.
However, a group of about 300 masked protesters threw missiles at police, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets.
Clashes went on into the evening and resulted in more than 300 arrests.
Our correspondent says the measure has become a rallying point for the left and the far left, uniting the May 1968 generation with its children, who want the same job security their parents enjoyed.

Cigar Box Guitar Neck: which sort of the wood?
Hi_there.. I'm starting another project. This time it will be CBG – Cigar Box guitar.
Honestly I've found myself got tired of making the endless clones of the famous brands, mostly Fender Stratocaster or Fender Telecaster.
1. Once you build another clone it has not enough personality.
It still will be Strat or Tele. No matter what color or parts you choose.
2. You will NEVER build really COOL guitar clone if you are a hobbyist like me.
You have to have very expensive equipment and tools (and LOTS of your time!) to make a really valuable instrument.
It is possible if you choose the making of the guitars as your business.
But this is certainly NOT my path.
And the last statement before I switch to the subject.
The CBG is your creature "from head to toe".
The sky is the limit to your creativity!
Just google the "cigar box guitar" to get an idea of the variety in this world.
And now about the cigar box guitar neck.
As we all know the maple is always the best choice for the guitar neck. But before making this choice ask yourself: do you have REALLY good tools to work with the maple?
Don't do the same mistake as I once did. The maple is a hell to work with! Of course, if you dont have the right tools.
Well, when I had failed with the maple I decided to go with pine.
It's really "easy to work on".
That's what I've got from it.
Don't repeat my SECOND mistake. The pine is TOO SOFT.
the most suitable wood in my case is a POPLAR.
It is strong enough not to bend under the strings tension.
And at the same time it's quite easy to work with.

Kutlwano Hutamo's love for learning and education one of the reasons why she is a successful entrepreneur. She has an MBA from GIBS business school, an MSc in veterinary sciences as well as a BSc honours in genetics. However, her path to success has not been an easy one.
Hutamo, a solitary creature by heart, grew up wanting to be a lab scientist. After enrolling for chemical engineering on the advice of a career counsellor, she quickly converted to biological sciences after seeing that the engineering course was full of physics and calculus courses — not biology. This saw her gain work experience and pursue a law degree and an MBA before finally taking the entrepreneurial leap.
"Washesha" means to hurry up and to have a sense of urgency, and it is the ethos behind this term that informs how the organisation prioritises the customer above everything else. Hutamo is deliberate about using black suppliers for her business, as she believes that the inclusion of black people in value chains that previously excluded them in is a matter of social justice.


Quadra Island RCMP had a kayak that was turned in to the detachment that was found floating in the Surge just south of Peck Island. If you have lost your kayak contact the Quadra RCMP.
There is a complete ban on fires and campfires due to the extremely dry conditions. The Quadra RCMP will be working closely with the Quadra Island Fire Department, Cortes Island Fire Department, and the Fire Wardens to ensure the ban is strictly enforced. If you see a campfire or someone throwing out cigarette butts please contact the local RCMP. The RCMP has zero tolerance when it puts the safety of the community in jeopardy and severe fines will be issued.

Jennilee Thayer – GC 108 – (435) 586-7835 Student Success Advisor(s)
The Department offers majors in French, Philosophy, and Spanish, and minors in French, German, Philosophy, and Spanish. These programs prepare students to communicate well orally and in writing, think critically, and analyze literary, philosophical, and other texts. Students completing the French or Spanish Education degree are prepared to teach those disciplines in secondary schools. Students planning to teach one of these languages in a Utah middle or high school should be aware that a score of Advanced Low on the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview is required for Teacher Certification in the state of Utah, and that a score of Advanced Mid is required to work in a Dual Language Immersion school. The Department also offers a variety of extracurricular activities which complement and enrich the academic curriculum.
French, German, and Spanish Programs
The mission of the Language programs in the Department of Languages and Philosophy is to provide students with a rigorous program wherein they perfect their abilities to communicate in the languages they study. As faculty, we dedicate ourselves to fostering students' progress in the four skill areas-reading, writing, speaking, listening-and developing cultural awareness as they cultivate productive community connections. Through a series of courses which include language, linguistics, literature, culture and pedagogy, we prepare students for lifelong enrichment, graduate studies, and entrance into the global work force.
Philosophy Program
The mission of the Philosophy Program is two-fold: first, to provide our students with a rigorous foundation in the core areas of philosophy (logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and history of philosophy), with classes that expose students to the central concepts, thinkers, methods, and debates in these areas; and second, to nurture our students' critical thinking abilities, by showing them how to identify, analyze, construct, and evaluate arguments of all different types, and by requiring them to actively practice these skills (both orally and in written work). In this way, we equip our students for success after college, whether their plan is to pursue philosophy in graduate school, to attend professional school in another discipline, or to immediately begin their careers.
Department/Program Learning Outcomes
Students who acquire a major or a minor in French, Spanish, or German are capable of:
Narrate and describe in all major time frames
Speak about a variety of topics
Participate as a full conversational partner, initiating exchanges as well as responding
Discuss abstract subjects and communicate supporting opinions
Read and write about academic and professional topics
Demonstrate knowledge of literary terms, genres and concepts
Critically analyze and interpret cultural artifacts and a wide variety of texts
Deliver coherent presentations on a variety of topics
Graduates certifying to teach:
Have a basic understanding of theories and approaches to teaching
Are capable of designing lesson plans for language classes for grades 7-12
Are capable of incorporating culture into their lessons
Our minors and majors are capable of (1) analyzing philosophical texts by finding and explaining their main theses, (2) reconstructing and evaluating philosophical arguments, and (3) thinking critically about a wide variety of topics. They are also (4) broadly knowledgeable about the characteristic doctrines and approaches of a number of prominent philosophers in the western philosophical tradition. In addition, our majors are capable of (5) designing and carrying out their own research projects on philosophical topics.
In addition to French, German, and Spanish, the Department of Languages and Philosophy offers courses in Ancient Greek and Mandarin. Students are now able to complete the 16 hours of a language needed for a Bachelor of Arts in Ancient Greek, with Beginning Greek offered alternate years. Beginning Mandarin is now also offered on a yearly basis.

This is a mix between a Dutch pancake meet an omelette kind of dish. I added smoked salmon when cooked to give extra flavor!
Combine flour, eggs, milk, butter, 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Sauté the onion and thyme on the stove with the olive oil for a few minutes.
Pour the mixture in the hot pan and sprinkle the tomatoes evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until completely set and golden brown.
Sprinkle some chives and add toppings of you choice!


Education, cultural identity, globalisation, and the old adage: Hard work, do well, go to college, and you'll get a good job. Today, kids don't believe this. Raise the standards. The intellectual model of the mind was based upon deductive reasoning and the knowledge of the classics = academic ability. This system judges many as not smart. The plague of the prescriptions being issued for ADHD. Kids are being medicated and penalised for being distracted by what this world offers. ADHD increases as you travel east in the US.
The arts are victims of this mentality – art is an aesthetic experience, when the senses are operating at their peak, fully alive. An anaesthetic is where you shut your sense off and deaden yourself to what is happening. We should be waking them up. Education is modelled on the interest of industrialism. We batch students based upon their date of manufacture (age).
Divergent thinking is not the same thing as creativity. Divergent thinking is thinking along the lines of a multiple answers.

Q: How to add an array item to a new view according to a selected option in Reactjs I am working on a React project where a list of books will be retrieved from the server.Each book has an option to be set into different shelves, like 1) Currently reading, 2) Want to read and 3) Read based on the user's experience with the book.Each book will have a dropdown where the 3 shelves will be mentioned.Once the user clicks on a shelf from the dropdown,the book will be shown on the selected shelf.So, I am able to retrieve the books from the API, but I am stuck at the point where the books will be set to the respective shelf once it is selected.
Code to retrieve all the books from the API:
import React, { Component } from 'react';

class BooksList extends Component {

  state={
    showSearchPage: false,
    books: [],
    selectedValue: 'None'
  }

  handleChange =(e) => {
    this.setState({ selectedValue:e.target.value })
  }

  render() {
    return(
{

                  {this.props.books.map( book =>

                        <div className="book-cover" style={{ width: 128, height: 193,margin:10, backgroundImage: `url(${book.imageLinks.smallThumbnail})` }}>

                          <select
                            value={this.state.selectedValue}
                            onChange={this.handleChange}>
                            <option value="none" disabled>    Move to...</option>
                            <option value="currentlyReading">✔ Currently Reading</option>
                            <option value="wantToRead">    Want to Read</option>
                            <option selected="selected" value="read">    Read</option>
                            <option value="none">    None</option>
                          </select>

{book.title}

{book.authors}

{this.state.selectedValue}

              )}

                }

Code for the Currently Reading shelf:

Currently Reading

                        { this.props.books.map(book =>

                                <div className="book-cover" style={{ width: 128, height: 193, backgroundImage: `url(${book.imageLinks.smallThumbnail})` }}>

                                  <select
                                    value={this.state.selectedValue}
                                    onChange={this.handleChange}>
                                    <option value="none" disabled>    Move to...</option>
                                    <option value="currentlyReading">✔ Currently Reading</option>
                                    <option value="wantToRead">    Want to Read</option>
                                    <option selected="selected" value="read">    Read</option>
                                    <option value="none">    None</option>
                                  </select>

{this.state.selectedValue}

{this.state.currentlyReadingBooks}

{book.authors}

                        )}

So what I was thinking of as a solution is : Do we have to create 3 arrays of books for three different sections and move the books to each section.Can anyone please help me with this.I am really stuck with this.I am not able to figure out how to proceed.

A:
Once the user clicks on a shelf from the dropdown,the book will be shown on the selected shelf

This tells me that you probably don't need to store selectedValue in the react state; as soon as a dropdown action action is selected, simply "add" it.
So yes, I think what you describe makes sense - have three seperate arrays of books stored in the react state, and then in your handleChange function, append the book to the appropriate array.
(Side note: best practice in react is to copy the only array from your state instead of directly appending/mutating it.)

Anthropology and the Anthropocene
Dr Gisa Weszkalnys
This course is available on the BA in Anthropology and Law, BA in Social Anthropology, BSc in Social Anthropology, Exchange Programme for Students in Anthropology (Cape Town), Exchange Programme for Students in Anthropology (Fudan), Exchange Programme for Students in Anthropology (Melbourne) and Exchange Programme for Students in Anthropology (Tokyo). This course is available with permission as an outside option to students on other programmes where regulations permit and to General Course students.
In August 2016, scientists participating in the Anthropocene Working Group put forward an official recommendation to rename our present time interval 'the Anthropocene'. It postulates that humans now exert recognisable influences on the earth's bio- and geophysical systems sufficient to warrant the naming of a distinct geological epoch encompassing the earth's present, recent past, and indefinite future. The Anthropocene thus echoes contemporary anxieties about climate change, the deterioration of global ecologies, and other environmental crises on unprecedented scales, as well as humans' capacity to devise adequate solutions to the problems they face. The scholarly and popular debate on the Anthropocene has exploded in recent years, with anthropologists contributing both theoretical and important ethnographic insight into how people apprehend and deal with the repercussions of anthropogenic environmental change. It now seems that the continued successful existence of humanity on this planet will require us to live differently both with each other and with the earth: 'We will go onwards in a different mode of humanity or not at all' (Val Plumwood 2007).
In this course, we will approach the Anthropocene as a contested category, with evident political and ethical implications. We will begin by examining the dramatic changes in the relationship between humans and their natural environments brought about by industrialisation, specifically, the increased exploitation of natural resources as well as the production and use of fossil fuels on a large scale. We will attend to the practices and cosmologies of people who in their everyday lives – for example, by digging, polluting, and wasting – participate in the work of anthropogenic alterations, drawing on case studies from across the world. We will consider alternative labels, such as the Capitalocene, Plantationocene, Plasticene, Eurocene, Misanthropocene, and Neologocene, each of which tells a different origin story for what Donna Haraway has called 'the trouble'. However, we then move to ask whether the Anthropocene might be less a marker of an epochal transformation than a signal of a profound anti-political shift in discussions about the future of the planet. We will inspect the scientific and non-scientific controversies the Anthropocene has provoked, and the particular forms of power, authority, reason, imagination, and subjectivity it has generated.
Students will be expected to engage with a variety of resources, including online publications, blogs, documentary and feature films, and other media, and an emergent interdisciplinary literature, spanning the social and natural sciences, which we will read in relation to a more long-standing engagement with the environment within the anthropological discipline. This will lead us to interrogate established binaries of human/nonhuman, subject/object, and nature/culture, and, significantly, to ask about the critical valence of anthropologists' enquiry into the 'anthropos' for an age so profoundly shaped by humans. What methods and modes of analysis are required to comprehend the diverse human/non-human interactions and seemingly incommensurable scales that the Anthropocene invokes? What types of collaboration, knowledge, and mutual care does an anthropocenic outlook make possible? How can we anchor the manifold theoretical proposals that have been put forward not just in ethnographic examples but also in own 'experiments for living'?
7 hours of lectures, 7 hours of classes, 6 hours of classes and 4 hours of workshops in the LT.
The course is comprised of three cycles of three weeks plus an additional, concluding week. Each cycle consists of two weeks taught in the traditional lecture/class format, and a third week with a two-hour class bringing together the entire course cohort. While the one-hour classes will focus on core readings set by the lecturer, the two-hour class will, in addition, offer space for viewing other resources (films, online material), discussing students independently researched material, student presentations, etc.
Students will be expected to produce 1 essay, 1 presentation and 6 other pieces of coursework in the LT.

Q: python function returning unnecessary tuple values i'm trying to write a python function that reads a csv file and converts it's into a numpy array. I have to then calculate it's mean and median. This is the question:

And this is the code that i've written
def calc_stats(csvF):
  data = np.loadtxt(csvF, delimiter=',')
  meanF = sum(data)/len(data)

  data.sort()
  if len(data)%2 == 0:
    m1 = data[len(data)//2]
    m2 = data[len(data)//2 - 1]
    medianF = (m1+m2)/2
  else:
    medianF = data[len(data)//2]

  returnVal = (meanF, medianF)

  return returnVal

You can see in the question the output we're expecting but the output i'm getting is this:
array([  9.65666667,  15.89      ,  13.43666667,   5.4       ]), array([  1.27,   3.99,  11.73,  19.66]))

I don't understand why i'm getting these extra values. I can't seem to figure out what i'm doing wrong. Kindly help.

A: these values are the mean and median of each column you do not sum all of data
you have to reshape (flatten the array to be a list) your data
data = np.loadtxt(csvF, delimiter=',')
data = data.reshape(-1)
meanF = sum(data) / len(data)

Alleged Galaxy S5 Metal Frame Leaks, Signals The End Of Plastic Era [Photos]
By Ben Reid | November 22nd, 2013
Of all the recognized companies in the smartphone game, Samsung is the most active in terms of devices released, and as well as a large inventory of mid and low-end handsets, it offers two flagships in the form of the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note ranges. It's a fair assessment to make that both series have become a little stale, with both the S4 and Note 3 seeming very similar to their respective predecessors, and this point has been underlined with sales of each falling below the company's high expectations. This places a little extra importance on next year's major releases from the South Korean outfit, and we may just have an insight into the Galaxy S5 thanks to a leaked metal frame purporting to be a legitimate component of the forthcoming device.
The frame arrives courtesy of notorious leaker Nowhereelse.fr, a French blog with a rich history in getting hold of products and parts before during the very early stages.
One reason, perhaps, why the Galaxy S4 has not sold in the vast numbers Samsung might have hoped, is cited by many to be the cheap, plastic body. Many other companies competed with the Galaxy S / S2 / S3 in terms of hardware, but most of these rivaling handsets also sported a fairly underwhelming finish. This all changed earlier on in the year with the HTC One, a handset with an uber-sharp display, quad-core Snapdragon processor and, notably, a slick aluminum finish. Many Samsung fans have been crying out for the high-end handset to be afforded an equally high quality finish, and this metal frame suggests this could finally be the case with the S5.
Of course, this leak cannot be verified, and it's also very much possible that the rest of the device could be comprised of plastic, but for those hoping Samsung comes through with something vastly different from the S 4, this should be taken as an encouraging sign.
Nowhereelse.fr's sources claim Samsung will be bringing an aluminum smartphone in the future, and with the HTC One and iPhone 5s both the subject of much acclaim from design experts and fans in general, it will be interesting to see whether the South Korean company does feel like breaking a habit of a lifetime.
The frame also points to a slightly larger display than that of the S4, but we'd expect this to be the case anyway. We've also been hearing that Samsung plans to really push the envelope with regards to the cameras of both the Note 4 and Galaxy S5, and we certainly cannot wait to hear more about these two eagerly-awaited handsets.

Q: uploading a pre-made laravel website on cPanel i have a pre-made laravel website and all the files in it are shown in this picture below:
image of files
my question is that how can i install larvel on cpanel and upload all these files?
in which folder should i place these files respectively ?
should i install laravel first and then upload these files on cPanel?
or should i directly upload these files on the server?
should there be any changes in coding after uploading these files?

A: You can do it with these steps.
1 - First make an new folder name anything it for eg:-myapp.
2 - Now in myapp folder paste all the files of public folder.
3 - And now in myapp folder make an new folder named anything like eg:-code.
4 - Now paste all the files and folder of remaining content of your laravel app except public folder content in code folder.
5 - Now the main thing open index.php file which is placed in myapp folder root.
6 - Change these two directory path require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php'; and $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';.
7 - Just change the path these files with your new folder named code. like eg:- require __DIR__.'code/vendor/autoload.php'; and $app = require_once __DIR__.'code/bootstrap/app.php'; and it is done.

A: *

*First Copy all files and folders in /public html

*Copy all content of public folder and paste it in document root (
i.e. public_html ) Remove the public folder

*Open your bootstrap/paths.php and then changed 'public' =>
DIR.'/../public', into 'public' => DIR.'/..',

and finally in index.php,
Change
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/start.php';

into
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';

Then Check you Laravel application
