What happens when an unstoppable force meets a distinctly movable object? We're about to find out on Thursday night.
HELLO FROM PADDY POWER NEWS!
The latest football odds are on PaddyPower.com right now
The Premier League's best attack takes on its worst defence at Anfield on Thursday, leaving Newcastle with little hope of recording their second league victory of the season. Liverpool have been all-conquering in recent weeks, winning seven games on the bounce in all competition and five games in-a-row in the league.

Thursday 8pm: Liverpool v Newcastle
BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate
Booking Odds: Over 30 Points
They boast the Premier League's best attack by a considerable distance, scoring a staggering 45 goals in 16 league games to date. They have scored in every game they have played in all competitions this season and it appears incredibly unlikely that a Newcastle side that has conceded 34 goals in the league to date will be able to live with them.
Newcastle were trounced 4-0 at Leicester on Sunday and have picked up just three points on the road all season. They're going to be chasing shadows again as they struggle to hold back the red tide. This all adds up to plenty of cards making Booking Odds: Over 30 Points a very appealing bet.
Over 3.5 goals
Liverpool are good money to score at least four goals against a wretched Newcastle defence on Thursday. Jurgen Klopp's side have broken the four-goal barrier on five occasions already this season and average almost three goals per game.
They have scored three goals or more on nine occasions in the league to date – more than half of the league games they have played this season. Newcastle, meanwhile, have conceded at least three goals six times already and are in danger of being hit for at least four goals for the fourth time this season.
At the other end, Newcastle do boast some attacking talent in the form of Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson and are capable of causing some damage to a Liverpool defence that has looked uncharacteristically vulnerable at stages throughout the season.
The Reds have conceded more goals than either Chelsea or Manchester City and have conceded three goals in two separate league games. Liverpool have struggled for goals in their last two league outings, but Newcastle do not have the defensive capabilities of Aston Villa or Wolves, so expect a return to normality on Thursday and Over 3.5 Goals.
Mohamed Salah to score two or more goals
Mo Salah's ridiculous start to the season shows no signs of slowing down. The Egyptian forward has scored or assisted in all but one of Liverpool's league games this season and already holds a five-goal lead in the Premier League goal scoring charts.
Salah has done most of his damage away from home this season, scoring nine of his 14 league goals on the road, but he has an excellent chance to rectify that on Thursday night.
Salah has scored against Newcastle at Anfield in each of his four full seasons since joining Liverpool and is almost unbackable to continue that record for a fifth season. Salah is good value to bag at least a brace against a hapless Newcastle defence on Thursday.
Allan Saint-Maximin to have one or more shots on target
Newcastle would find themselves in a much bleaker situation if it were not for Allan Saint-Maximin. The French winger has directly contributed to four of Newcastle's ten points this season and has registered three goals and three assists so far in the league this season, contributing to more than one-third of Newcastle's goals.
He has attempted 33 shots for the Magpies in the league this year at a rate of more than two a game, while he finds the target with roughly one out of every three shots.
Liverpool do not face many shots on target, facing an average of just under three shots on target per game. However, if Newcastle can match that tally, there is every chance that Saint-Maximin will be responsible for the lion's share of them.
The Frenchman is a maverick for whatever defence he comes up against and can even trouble the ultra-composed Virgil Van Dijk. At a very healthy price Allan Saint-Maximin to have one or more shots on target rounds us off.

Dental crowns form an integral part of dental treatment and are known to be a treatment option from time immemorial. The basic philosophy of putting a crown on a tooth is similar to that of wearing a helmet while riding. Crowns are a form of protection for weakened teeth.
The everyday biting and chewing put a load as high as 300 kilograms on the teeth and hence they need to be strong enough to this. A weakened out tooth due to damage, decay or root canals often need additional strength in the form of crowns.
In the earlier days, you could opt for either a metal crown or a ceramic crown and the choices were simple. Today there are multiple options that the patient can choose from and this makes it even more confusing for the patient.
So, how do you decide what crowns are good?
The basic decision depends on whether it's a front or a back tooth that needs a crown.
The Front Teeth: The aesthetic demand for the front teeth is extremely high and the best choice would be to opt for an All Ceramic Crown made of Lithium Disilicate. These are beautiful and reflect light exactly akin to a natural tooth. It's extremely difficult to make out the difference between a natural tooth and the crown.
The Back Teeth: Due to the huge biting loads on the back teeth it becomes extremely essential to pick a crown that will be exceptionally strong. Metal crowns, Metal Ceramic crowns, and Zirconia crowns all work really well. Functionally they perform just as well as each other.
Metal Crowns: These are the most inexpensive of all crowns and work very well functionally. They, however, look unaesthetic in the mouth and not many people want a silver crown in their mouth.
Metal Ceramic Crown: These are the tried and tested age-old crowns and have been around for years. They have an inner body of metal and outer ceramic which looks beautiful and completely natural. These are mid-range and the most commonly preferred crowns.
All Ceramic Crowns: These are crowns made of a white metal called Zirconia. These crowns are all white and hence the name All-Ceramic Crowns. These are more expensive than the other variants.
The major difference are in aesthetics.T he zirconia crowns are made of Zirconia which is a white metal and being an All-Ceramic crown, they are far more expensive than the other crowns.
Are Crowns the Only Option?
As we get more conservative with our dental procedures, the treatment philosophy has also changed. I don't do as many full crowns as I do Inlays and Onlays nowadays. It is now believed that cutting the entire tooth for a full crown can be damaging to the tooth and can weaken it further. For that reason, we now restore the teeth with something called Inlays and Onlays.
To describe these in really simple terms these are Partial Crowns or half-crowns. These are meant to replace only the missing part of your lost tooth structure and make the tooth stronger by reinforcing the tooth.
They are completely natural looking and replicate the tooth. The biggest advantage of doing an inlay or onlay is preserving the natural tooth structure.
1. The fit of your new crown should be perfect. If you feel you're not comfortable with the new crown while biting, please let your dentist know immediately. A bad bite can have long-term implications on your jaw.
2. The new crown is meant to protect the damaged tooth. Make sure your dentist checks the fit of the crown with additional x-rays. A badly fitting crown can further damage your tooth and you may ultimately end up losing the tooth completely.
3.If you're not happy with the shade or color of your crown discuss it with your dentist. Once the crown has been permanently placed, nothing can be done to change the color.
Till we meet again next week then, enjoy the holiday season!
ROOT CANAL PAIN –TRUTH OR MYTH?

Q: Isomorphism and dimension exercise clarification. I'd need clarification on one of the statements here below.
Given that V is the set of linear operators f: $\mathbb{R}^k \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n $, and I'm trying to prove that V has the same dimension as $\mathbb{R} ^{kn}$ so that to prove it.
Now, why is $ m=kn$ ? And also why is V contained in $(\mathbb{R}^{n})^{(\mathbb{R}^k)} ?$
I'm really looking for the reasoning (the simpler the better) behind these statements.

A: To define a linear operator $f \in V$ you have to define the image of each of the $k$ basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^k$. Each of these images is a point in $\mathbb{R}^n$ so it has $n$ components. So each $f \in V$ is defined by a set of $kn$ real numbers, and so $V$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^{kn}$. You can represent each $f \in V$ by a $k \times n$ matrix.
To make this informal argument more formal, you would have to prove that $V$ is a vector space and that the $kn$ linear functions $f_{ij}$ defined by  $f_{ij}(\mathbf{e}_i) = \mathbf{e}_j$ form a basis of $V$.

I was suddenly left with no inspiration when it came to putting an outfit together. I swear I tried on half of my closet, before I was satisfied with how I looked - it was one of those days when I needed a little extra something to make myself feel beautiful and comfortable - yes, we all have those days.
I ended up wearing this now sold-out dress I found at Target with espadrilles, and a paper straw bag (similar here and here), but it got me thinking about how unprepared I am for the cold season.
Cutting down on shopping means that I will have to get very creative with my closet and, in a way, I am excited - I like a good challenge.
Do you like green? Alo, do you struggle styling an outfit for cool weather?
That is a gorgeous dress an the color looks great on you!
Thank you, however I do not have extensions - it's all my hair. These photos were taken before I cut my hair.


A rainbow of red, blue, green and yellow (representing our four Houses of Barbarians, Corinthians, Foresters and Nomads) lit up the Porson Road playing fields on Wednesday afternoon for the Prep's annual House Sports Day.
The sun shone on the day, with all Prep children involved across five events, with everyone contributing points regardless of age or ability. Children enjoyed the games involving a team effort such as the tug-of-war, but also enjoyed the moments of individual glory, as in the track events.
Out of a total of 3249 points awarded on the day, three Houses were still in the running for the overall trophy at the start of the whole school relay. Nomads won the event and beat the second placed Foresters by just eleven points.
Congratulations to all of the children for their diligent teamwork, and many thanks to our Director of Sport, Mr Artaman, for his meticulous planning.

Q: Regex more than n number of characters, excluding pattern from count I'm trying to find a straight forward way to use regex to match any string n number of characters or longer while also allowing the ability to exclude a pattern from that count.
For example, if I have:
somename
somename-with-more-text
somename-with-even-more-text
somename2
somename-with-standard-naming
somename-ttt-ttt01-naming
somename-ggg-abc09-naming

I can use the regex .{24,} to return only strings with 24 or more characters, which returns:
somename-with-even-more-text
somename-with-standard-naming
somename-ttt-ttt01-naming
somename-ggg-abc09-naming

But now I'd like to also go a step further and exclude a pattern; a literal string or regex. For example, I'd like to exclude ttt-ttt01 or maybe [a-z]{3}\d{2}. So I would be left with:
somename-with-even-more-text
somename-with-standard-naming
somename-ggg-abc09-naming

or
somename-with-even-more-text
somename-with-standard-naming

I've gotten nowhere fast trying a variety of solutions...some examples of failed attempts:
.{24,}(?<!b[a-z]{3}\d{2})

^(?!ttt01)(.{24,})

^\b(.{24,})\b(?<!ttt01)

.{24,}(?!ttt01\b)\b\w+

"I like the melody a lot as it's really simple and really seems to support the lyric and sets up the right feel in the song".
Roger and Me
I was introduced to Roger Miller at an early age and it forever changed the way I looked at the world. He garnered Grammy's for his hit single "King of The Road" as well as pen other great humorous and heartfelt numbers.
I met him at Harlan Howard's Birthday Party at the BMI parking lot. He was a hoot! We shared stories about old jalopies and the ride they gave us!
I think he might have liked this song!
"OMG I'm Going Out Tonight"
https://www.reverbnation.com/daviddevine/song/8782351-omg-im-going-out-tonight's
I was in Nashville in Spring 1991 and I was able to meet some wonderful people. One of the most endearing was the onetime manager of the Grand Ole Opry Mr. Ott Devine. And although we were not related except for our love of country music he believed in me and felt I had what it took to make it. He took me to the backstage of the Grand Ole Opry where he said he wanted to introduce me to his friends where he still was revered and respected by so many of the staff and Stars! I still remember that night and how good it was to have spent our time together.
While I lived in Nashville I stayed with my friend Greg Garing who played everyday at the Opryland Hotel and I met many of his great friends Larry Neely, Bill Monroe, John Hartford, Vassar Clements, and so many more especially Pete Pyle who co-wrote Bill Monroe's "Highway of Sorrow" who told me to never be afraid to write what hurts you most. I think I tried to get close a few times. Here's one of those times.

Ode to a Burned Out Light Bulb
Sometimes a spiritual awakening is the awareness that we are apart of a bigger picture.
Sometimes a lamp will just stay lit, but sometimes the lightbulb quits. And just when you think the light is gone, you look again and it came back on! Here to think the bulb was shot! I guess it was a bit somewhat, but like a flash from the great beyond, my burned out light just came back on!

Audio/Book "A Poetry Moment"
Dear Mr. Emery
When I went to Nashville I had a chance to read my poem on TNN's "Nashville Now" and the longtime host Ralph Emery. When I wrote on my blue card why I wanted to be on a popular show called "Nashville Now" I wrote that I had a poem about a die-hard Nashville Now fan! And so when Mr.Emery called my name I went nationwide with my poem
Dear Mr. Emery/My Dad just loves your show/Why I bet he'd fall out of his chair if you just said "Hello"/ He sits there every evening till it's time to hit the hay and reminisces with you all the songs of yesterday/And when the show gets rollin he jumps up to his feet/And plays along with Hoot and Fred and he don't miss a beat/ and when the song is over and you say "We'll be back with more" that's when he takes his hat off and he throws it on the floor./Well, I just thought I'd tell ya the way some fans can be/When they live in Pennsylvania with their heart in Tennessee...( And then Mr. Emery turned to the camera that night and said "Hello Dayton"! and the place lit up with applause! ) (My brother Chuck just said when Mr. Emery said "Hello Dayton" He had a tear in his eye. I knew what it meant to him.)

Letters and Numbers (Ι, II, III), Typography, Lettering Art, Graphic Design (Ι, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII), Illustration, Introduction in Informatics, Digital Graphic Design (Ι, II), Semiotics, Specifics of Photography - Graphic Design (Ι, ΙΙ, ΙΙΙ), Multimedia.
In the Graphic Design Sector, through the courses on Typography, Lettering Art, Semiotics, Visual Communication and Graphic Design that are being taught in all semesters, a great effort is put together so that the student should be able to combine this field of knowledge with what he / she learns from the Graphic Technology and the Visual Arts Sector, in order to master the language of how to design a visual message.
This sector is essentially the largest and the most composite as far as the combination of teaching hours and academic subjects is concerned, given that this is where the basic principles of letter design and of the use of the aesthetic qualities of fonts are taught, allowing the student to acquire all the necessary skills for creating a channel for visual communication for all kinds of applications.
The students of these courses are encouraged to develop their own ways of expression and their own aesthetic judgment on topics like the design of logos, books, magazines, adverts, web pages, animated graphics etc.
The gradual compilation of a project portfolio, which is put together through the course assignments of all semesters, plays a crucial part in the general evaluation of the work of every student. The portfolio is the passport that will give the student access to the job market and to a postgraduate degree.
This sector offers courses on Visual Arts that are fundamental for offering a general education on aesthetics and on the basic principals and laws of sketching and painting, concerning both its creative and its purely theoretical elements.
Through this sort of knowledge the student begins to master visual language, its means and its techniques. He/she starts developing skills in creating images and compositions, as well as in analyzing and making critique, skills that he/she will successfully utilize in courses of other sectors and of course in the development of his/her own work in the field of Graphic Design.
Sector of Graphic Technology & Communication Courses is responsible for the teaching of the following courses: Industrial Design, Linear Design (Ι, ΙΙ), Advertising, Market Research, Foreign Language (Ι, ΙΙ, ΙΙΙ), Graphic Design for Interiors and Exteriors, Publication Budget, Photography (Ι, ΙΙ, ΙΙΙ).
The courses of the Graphic Technology sector are crucial for establishing the necessary skills for operating the tools of image design. The courses will introduce basic principles along with more advanced concepts on perspective, industrial design, photography and animation.
Through these courses the student is equipped with aesthetic criteria and design abilities that will help him/her grasp the dynamics of the visual language of industrial design, as well as the dynamics of placing a design into a given space, the atmosphere of the photographic language and the principles of composing a script and bringing animated images to life.

Q: Double dollar sign php
Possible Duplicate:
What does $$ (dollar dollar or double dollar) mean in PHP?

I found myself using this kind of code in one of my controllers:
foreach(get_object_vars($this->view) as $property=>$value){
   $$property = $value;
}

Is there any problem with using the $$property to "localize" view properties into simple $variables?
edit:
I should add that this code is run in the scope of a view-specific method, so there's no problem of overriding local variables. This is to divert some of you guys from pointing out the problem of overriding local variables.

A: Well, you could just use extract() function. Also that fragment: get_object_vars($this->view) indicates that you should rather have some array to store those variables, not an object.

A: The problem with $$ in PHP is that you create unknown variable names, that may override variable names you already use. It is a source for subtle programming errors, and should generally not be used.

A: Nope, that's the way to do it and the only way if I'm not mistaken.  Though my question would be to ask why you'd want to do that instead of using the object variable.

A: The accepted answer is so wrong!!!
The double dollar is not a cause for problems, and shouldn't be considered as such!
The double dollar syntax is in fact a superb PHP feature that can be useful in many situations!
And if you fear that you might be overriding other variables by using it, then this means you have written poor code! And anyway, this syntax is used by more experienced programmers, so the beginners should avoid it, until feeling more sure about what they are doing.
Some situations where this is really useful is looping through variables based on the value of other variables, dynamic variables, agnostic variables, etc.
Again, let me close by saying that the double dollar is a powerful feature and should be treated as such! With great power comes great responsibility!

Hey mate all of our skins support fixed and fluid, to change the skins to fluid takes one small change which is explained in this tutorial.
Seamus and Seamuslight are both packaged as fluid skins, but 2 modifications using our tutorial will make them fixed very easily.
Currently our skins do not support vBulletin5. But I am pretty sure vBulletin 5 will have no problem being fixed and fluid.


This is the 2nd post for today! Don't miss the Saturday Sketch below!!
Well it has been MONTHS since I have been able to participate in the monthly Dirty Challenge! I could not pass this one by.
Challenge Focus: Create a NO LAYER card any size, any color. Your card base is it – no additional layers of cardstock or designer paper at all.
Restricted Element: No use of the color pink (any shade) – I can't believe I just typed that – it might kill me.
I love that little sentiment. Its like a punny way to say "Hey look! I amde this!!" I adore Garden of Life. It is one of my faves, and SO underused. Pair it with another HUGE fave-Borders & Corners Circles and I am in heaven!
I LOVE circles, and thought that masking for this would be great for the challenge, and I think I was right.
I just punched a circle from some sticky paper, and stamped the flower in black. I then stamped the solid flower to layer in the outline. I then sponged in the open part of the circle! This is a super card for a quickie! This took LESS than 3 minutes! I kid you not!
Make sure you check out the other girls challenge cards by searching the keyword above!
Happy Saturday!! My favorite day of the week by far.
I hope you have some stamping time planned this week. As you know it is Sketch Time! I am really happy with this weeks challenge! I know I had a blast with it.
Sorry for my "sketch". Im not good at making a scallop border-yet! YIKES!
Again the sketch is to get you STAMPING! Go with whatever inspires you-OK!
Keyword mytimess06-send us a link here if you decide to give it a try so we can all see your take on the challenge! It is definitely fun for me to see what people do with it.
Now I will share my take on it.
I decided to make my entire card a scallop. Im loving Vintage Cream, Kraft, spring moss, and dark chocolate-YUM!! I chose those colors with the inks to match for this creation. I used Lisa's set Remember. I just love the open, and solid images paired together. I can't NOT use them.
I saw this circle layer as a window, not an "layer". I want you to use it in a way YOU see it though. Doesn't have to be like mine OK!
You know I LOVE my Martha Stewart butterfly punch, so I HAD to use that too, making a vellumbutterfly:D Just perfect isn't it? I love dimension. For more interest I added a tasb tag, and tied on some satin chocolate ribbon.
This inside is left blank, until I know what I need it for. This looks like a great ANY occasion card, so its nice to keep those around for when you need a quick card, but have no time.
Granted I SAY this, but I never do it! I always have to MAKE a new one. Its a weird hang up I have. At least I use my stamps though right?!
I have more to share tomorrow-so see you then!

Feast Your Ears: Untitled, Art's New Podcast Makes Sound Art Streamable
By Loney Abrams
Amanda Schmitt. Courtesy of Amanda Schmitt.
Sound has always been the forgotten stepchild of contemporary art. You can't hang it on a wall, you can't put it on a pedestal. It takes time, and it takes effort, to listen to it—if you can find it. Meanwhile, culture vultures hungry to enjoy content through the headphones that, for so many of us, have become almost permanently embedded into our ears, have embraced the podcast with open arms (ears?). So, it makes perfect sense that Untitled Art, an art fair that had been broadcasting panel discussions and performance art live from a radio booth at their Miami Beach and San Francisco art fairs, have taken up the podcast format to curate a selection of sound-based art projects.
Entitled "Untitled Art, Podcast," the series is hosted by Amanda Schmitt. Schmitt has culled over 200 hours of archived material recorded during the fairs, to select, curate, and recontextualize snippets of content, which Schmitt organizes around central themes like Collaboration, Noise, and Fictions. "Untitled, Radio was born out of a desire to rethink the way that programming, such as performance art and panel discussions, are presented within the context of an art fair," writes Schmitt in an email to Artspace, which is the exclusive online partner for the 2018 Miami Beach edition of the fair. "With the Untitled, Art, Podcast we wanted to both honor the spectacular contributions and programming that has taken part at the fair since 2015, but also introduce new platforms and opportunities for audience engagement."
For instance, in Episode Three of the podcast, we hear audio from a live radio segment recorded in 2016 in Miami Beach. At that time, the Norwegian performance artist Constance Tenvik had been invited to perform on the radio. "However," Schmitt writes, "instead of Tenvik showing up, she sent a cast of fictional characters to lead the 'Closing Party' for the fair. It was hilarious, it was wild. I still laugh every time I listen to their performance, which included guest speakers, music, costumes, props, and dancing."
Episode Two of the podcast excerpts content from Untitled's inaugural edition of its San Francisco fair in 2017, when it invited independent curator Ceci Moss to curate a selection of experimental radio "events" that aired in the late 1960s and early '70s on KPFA, the first listener-supported non-commercial radio station in the U.S., which has been an essential part of the Bay Area's cultural landscape since. The station was known for collaborating with its listeners; its hosts would often direct their viewers to participate with them in an experiment or experience. On the Untitled Art, Podcast, we hear a segment that originally aired on KPFA in 1970, wherein the hosts asked their listeners to boil a pot of water alongside them to make tea. For five minutes, we hear the sound of two people making tea. That's it. "I love the idea of just dialing back the chaos of everything we might experience in the 21st century and just focus on the sound of boiling water," writes Schmitt. "It's comically zen."
"I sometimes fear that we've become too reliant on our eyes, a sense uniquely apt for the fragmentation of time brought about by digitalization," writes Schmitt. Luckily, digitization also allows for content to be shared with audiences well beyond the confines of the art fair. "I'm interested in creating a platform that can occupy any interstitial time for my audience: because a podcast is digital, and can be downloaded by individual subscribers, it is not bound by geography, physical space, or time," says Schmitt. "Additionally, the podcast format is inherently democratic. We provide universal access, and it is free."
Moving forward, the Untitled Art, Podcast will be released monthly and will include both content that was recorded live at previous fairs, as well as new content (like interviews, talks, and commissioned content) produced specifically for new episodes. But, Untitled hasn't totally done away with the old model. Tune into a live broadcast from a radio booth set up at Untitled Miami Beach this December, which will air original content during every hour that the fair is open. (And while you're there, be sure to say "hello" to the Artspace team! We'll be hosting the VIP lounge alongside our friends at Phaidon and Maison de la Luz.) Won't be able to make it to the sunshine state in December?

My husband & I live in the northwest corner of Alabama, but we've been vacationing in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area for all of our married life (21 years so far!). We stumbled upon this little jewel almost 4 years ago and bought it without looking any further! It just felt like home! Between work and other obligations, we just can't go as often as we'd like, so we enjoy sharing it with others who love the beach like we do!

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for most Graduate Schools in the United States. The GRE is owned and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) who created it in 1949. According to ETS, the GRE aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a long period of learning. The content of the GRE consists of certain specific algebra, geometry, arithmetic, and vocabulary. The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based exam administered at Prometric testing centers.
In the graduate school admissions process, the level of emphasis that is placed upon GRE scores varies widely between schools and between departments within schools. The importance of a GRE score can range from being a mere admission formality to an important selection factor.
The GRE was significantly overhauled in August 2011, resulting in an exam that is not adaptive on a question-by-question basis, but rather by section, so that the performance on the first verbal and math sections determine the difficulty of the second sections presented. Overall, the test retained the sections and many of the question types from its predecessor, but the scoring scale was changed to a 130 to 170 scale (from a 200 to 800 scale).
The cost to take the test is US$205, although ETS will reduce the fee under certain circumstances. They also promote financial aid to those GRE applicants who prove economic hardship. ETS does not release scores that are older than 5 years, although graduate program policies on the acceptance of scores older than 5 years will vary.
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a computer adaptive test (CAT) intended to assess certain analytical, writing, quantitative, verbal, and reading skills in written English for use in admission to a graduate management program, such as an MBA. It requires knowledge of certain specific grammar and knowledge of certain specific algebra, geometry, and arithmetic. The GMAT does not measure business knowledge or skill, nor does it measure intelligence. According to the test owning company, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the GMAT assesses analytical writing and problem-solving abilities, while also addressing data sufficiency, logic, and critical reasoning skills that it believes to be vital to real-world business and management success. It can be taken up to five times a year. Each attempt must be at least 16 days apart.
GMAT is a registered trademark of the Graduate Management Admission Council. More than 5,900 programs offered by more than 2,100 universities and institutions use the GMAT exam as part of the selection criteria for their programs. Business schools use the test as a criterion for admission into a wide range of graduate management programs, including MBA, Master of Accountancy, and Master of Finance programs. The GMAT exam is administered in standardized test centers in 112 countries around the world. According to a survey conducted by Kaplan Test Prep, the GMAT is still the number one choice for MBA aspirants despite the increasing acceptability of GRE scores. According to GMAC, it has continually performed validity studies to statistically verify that the exam predicts success in business school programs.
The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. Introduced in 1926, its name and scoring have changed several times; originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, it was later called the Scholastic Assessment Test, then the SAT I: Reasoning Test, then the SAT Reasoning Test, and now, simply the SAT.
The SAT is owned, developed, and published by the College Board, a private, not-for-profit corporation in the United States. It is administered on behalf of the College Board by the Educational Testing Service, which until recently developed the SAT as well. The test is intended to assess students' readiness for college. The SAT was originally designed to not be aligned with high school curricula, but several adjustments were made for the version of the SAT introduced in 2016, and College Board president, David Coleman, has said that he also wanted to make the test reflect more closely what students learned in high school.
On March 5, 2014, the College Board announced that a redesigned version of the SAT would be administered for the first time in 2016. The current SAT, introduced in 2016, takes three hours to finish, plus 50 minutes for the SAT with essay, and as of 2017 costs US$45 (US$57 with the optional essay), excluding late fees, with additional processing fees if the SAT is taken outside the United States. Scores on the SAT range from 400 to 1600, combining test results from two 800-point sections: mathematics, and critical reading and writing. Taking the SAT, or its competitor, the ACT, is required for freshman entry to many, but not all, colleges and universities in the United States.


Christmas shopping means you will get stressed.
Have you every been stressed and not been Christmas shopping?
Have you ever been Christmas shopping and not been stressed?
Are you saying if you don't get stressed you can't go Christmas shopping?
You saying that you will try to behave differently is the same as you saying that you will fail.
Have you ever tried something and succeeded?
So your saying that it is not possible to try something and not fail?
Have you ever failed and not tried?
It sounds like your actually saying failure is equal to trying, is this correct?
Her speaking that way means she is trying it on!
Could she be trying it on and speak any other way?
Can you imagine her speaking that way and not trying it on?
Her speaking that way means she has just been to the dentist you bozo!
Could you, do lots of courses and learn very little?
Are you suggesting that learning lots is only possible by doing lots of courses?
Doing lots of courses means you are a course junkie and you just need to practice.
So your saying smiling is the ONLY way to help the relationship?
Have you ever helped the relationship and not smiled?
Your smiling now. How is that helping that relationship?
All of the above 'interventions' take the form of a response to recognising a statement of the form where one 'thing' is said or shown to equal of be the same as another thing. Where the two things are intrinsically different.

Loren Segal

Deprecation, doing it properly, 20year old linux app could still compile after only 2 changes. Even when you are gearing up for a major (SemVer) release, try to ensure that your API/methods stay backward compatible. Deprication doesn't mean you **will** remove the method, but rahter that there is something wrong with it and there is now a better way to do it.

Salesforce's idea to provide a 360 degree view of the customer isn't exactly new, but the company maintains its execution will be different. Here's the master plan.
Salesforce's big idea is one that you've heard of before from other enterprise software vendors--a 360 degree view of the customer--with different lens. The big question will come down to executing Salesforce's effort, dubbed Customer 360.
An admin interface that connects and manages customer data across Salesforce apps.
Customer 360 ID, which gives customers one ID that will have up-to-date contextually relevant profiles across apps and experiences.
Packages for Customer 360 focused on service, marketing and commerce to scale up cross-channel customer experiences.
For each company we have to listen. We're watching for companies not listening. For them we watch the executives walk out, the employees walk out and the customers walk out.
Parker Harris, CTO of Salesforce, put some more technology meat on the Customer 360 platform. In a demo, Harris showed how data is connected via Customer 360 in multiple systems.
The problem Salesforce is hoping to solve is a big one even if it's not terribly original. Customers are typically in experience silos and data from various parts of a company may not be shared. These disjointed customer experiences have plagued interactions for years.
However, there are other players that have hopped on this one-view of the customer bandwagon. SAP CEO Bill McDermott outlined how his company was going to take on Salesforce in CRM with the one unified customer experience take. SAP's argument is that the customer experience starts with its ERP and HANA analytics platform and then expands to CRM. "We have moved from 360 degree view of sales automation where some companies focus to 360 degree view of the actual customer," said McDermott.
Microsoft, which is touting its Dynamics ERP and CRM platform at its Ignite conference, has talked about a 360 degree view of the customer before. Using ActiveDirectory and its hook into Azure, Microsoft already has a customer ID system. Microsoft starts with Office and Dynamics and now extends its reach with artificial intelligence and connections on LinkedIn.
Oracle has also talked the 360 degree view of the customer with the talking points picking up in 2015. In 2013, Oracle Siebel CRM was talking 360 degree views of the customer and being customer centric.
Simply put, there's a lot of marketing speak invested in this 360 degree view of the customer thing.
Patrick Stokes, SVP Integration Cloud, said that the issue is that previous efforts to provide a 360 degree view of the customer have been made on the assumption that a company can control the journey a customer would take.
"Our point of view is simple. What we need is a single identifier. Not a single version of the truth, but a unified ID that can connect systems," said Stokes.
Salesforce's biggest argument is that traditional master data management tools--the technology that keeps customer records updated and current between apps--requires a lot of IT work and lack real-time updating.
Customer 360 is designed to sit in the middle of all of Salesforce's ecosystem.
Via it Mulesoft acquisition, Salesforce is planning to integrate this customer data, leave the information in place and keep it integrated for personalized experiences whether in the cloud or on-premises. Salesforce tipped its plans when it announced updates to its Financial Services Cloud. This slide, which highlights, the moving parts in a customer, system and data bowl of spaghetti is designed for banks and insurers, but represents most enterprises.
Salesforce does intend to integrate various applications in an enterprise, but much of Customer 360 revolves around connecting Salesforce apps and data.
Customer 360 will include a click-based user experience so admins can manage apps and data. The idea is that admins will make connected between apps. This dashboard would be one place to view customer data, applications and various connections.
The 360 ID is Salesforce's way of giving one identifier for every customer that would include name, email, phone number as well as social handle. Salesforce's tools would match, reconcile and update customer data across clouds. Salesforce noted that 360 ID leaves data in place and the system where it originated. Salesforce would retrieve data only when needed and refrain from a data lake and data warehouse architecture. The concept rhymes more with Pure Storage's Data Hub concept as an architecture.
Pre-built packages for service, marketing and commerce. Experiences for customers would be tailored on use cases on Service Cloud, Commerce Cloud and Marketing Cloud. The packages are designed to deliver connected experiences and be attached to Customer 360.
Perhaps the most notable idea Salesforce has is that Customer 360 isn't replicating data, but pulling it from where it resides. The general idea is that Customer 360 would enable a company to know when a shopping cart was abandoned in Commerce Cloud and then activate a campaign in Marketing Cloud for discounts.
These connections between Salesforce clouds are called Commerce Journeys and Service for Commerce. The packages are designed to provide immediate returns on moving to one customer ID.
According to Stokes, these preintegrated packages would put experiences and engagement first.
Stokes acknowledged that Salesforce isn't the center of the universe. However, it is worth noting that the company does house much of an enterprise's customer data. To connect various systems, MuleSoft will use APIs to connect applications across a company.
MuleSoft Anypoint is designed to connect Salesforce Customer 360 with other applications. These connections are designed to create what the company says a "truly complete customer view."
Customer 360 will be built into the platform and Stokes noted that the intention is to include much of the functionality under existing licenses.
Salesforce doesn't have all the details on pricing as Customer 360 is slated for general availability in the second half of 2019. There will be net new services with Customer 360 and they may revolve around prepackaged journeys as well MuleSoft connections via APIs. The integration space is one of Salesforce's big growth areas.
In the end, the Customer 360 effort provides a stronger layer integration between Salesforce clouds. But Salesforce won't represent most of your systems. As a result, Salesforce's up sell may revolve around MuleSoft.
Here are some screens of what Customer 360 will look like.
If Customer 360 is the secret sauce to integrate all of the data on Salesforce's clouds, MuleSoft is the integration layer to connect the rest of the information silos in an enterprise.
Mark Dao, chief product officer at MuleSoft, said the unit's Anypoint platform will be the "data platform for external systems" and connect to Customer 360. Dao said MuleSoft aims to provide an "application network" that can integrate various systems. For instance, MuleSoft will demo how Salesforce Commerce Cloud can integrate with Oracle's NetSuite and use machine learning to recommend data mapping choices.
At Dreamforce, MuleSoft will outline updates to the Anypoint platform that will add up to "an application network graph" so services across a company can be integrated via the cloud on on-premises.
Machine earning for data mapping and a flow designer that creates an application network graph.
A visualization engine that provides a view of a company's APIs and integration points. Monitoring via Anypoint also troubleshoots issues.
An expanded API management toolset. These additional controls apply security at the API level and add tokens to data at rest and in transit.
Add it up and MuleSoft is the hub of Salesforce's integration efforts, but is designed to ride shot gun with Customer 360.


Please join us for Quality Improvement Council (QIC) Grand Rounds!
This year, three teams of 2nd year medical students have worked to improve care and efficiency at the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership (EHHOP). Their projects have focused on medication costs, medication adherence, and diet/exercise goals. Now, it's time to celebrate their accomplishments. It's also an opportunity to learn about quality improvement and how to provide high-value care in a resource limited environment. Also, food will be provided.
About the Quality Improvement Council (QIC): The QIC was formed in 2011 to provide a formalized platform for students to identify QI targets at EHHOP and develop Interventions to address these needs. Students work in teams of five for 10 months to conduct rigorous analyses of the problems facing EHHOP, propose systems-based solutions, and, finally, implement and test these solutions in clinic. The program has received critical acclaim, and was awarded the Best Education Innovation award in 2013 by the North East Group on Educational Affairs.
About EHHOP: EHHOP is Mount Sinai's student-run, attending precepted Saturday clinic that provides free care to uninsured residents of East Harlem. In the ten years since it first started, the clinic has expanded massively and now provides comprehensive medical services including ophthalmology services, OB/GYN care, social work, nutrition, and access to specialty referrals.

Ashkenazi Jews, Maghrebi Jews, Arabs, Assyrians, Sephardi Jews other Jewish ethnic divisions.
Mizrahi Jews, Mizrahim (Hebrew: מזרחים) or Mashriqiyyun (Arabic: الم‍شرقيون), also referred to as Edot HaMizrach (עֲדוֹת-הַמִּזְרָח; Communities of the East; Mizrahi Hebrew: ʿEdot(h) Ha(m)Mizraḥ), Ben ha-Mizraḥ; Bene ha-Mizraḥ ("Sons of the East") or Oriental Jews are Jews descended from local Jewish communities of the Middle East. The term Mizrahi is most commonly used in Israel to refer to Jews who trace their roots back to Muslim-majority countries. This includes descendants of Babylonian Jews and Mountain Jews from modern Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, Kuwait, Dagestan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Lebanon, Uzbekistan, Caucasus, Kurdistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Also, Yemenite, Turkish and Persian Jews are usually included within the Mizrahi Jewish group. The term Mizrahim often consists of Maghrebi Jews, including Sephardic who lived in North Africa (Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco).
The use of the term Mizrahi can be somewhat controversial. Before the establishment of the state of Israel, Mizrahi Jews did not identify themselves as a separate ethnic subgroup. Instead, Mizrahi Jews generally characterized themselves as Sephardi, because they follow the traditions of Sephardic Judaism (although with some differences among the minhagim of the particular communities). This has resulted in a conflation of terms, particularly in Israel, and in religious usage, where "Sephardi" is used in a broad sense to include Mizrahi Jews and Maghrebi Jews as well as Sephardim proper. Indeed, from the point of view of the official Israeli rabbinate, any rabbis of Mizrahi origin in Israel are under the jurisdiction of the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel. Mizrahi Jews make up the largest ethnic group in Israel, and as of 2005, over 50% of Israeli Jews are of at least partial Mizrahi ancestry.
"Mizrahi" is literally translated as "Oriental", "Eastern", מזרח (Mizraḥ), Hebrew for "east." In the past the word "Mizrahim," corresponding to the Arabic word Mashriqiyyun (Easterners), referred to the natives of Syria, Iraq and other Asian countries, as distinct from those of North Africa (Maghribiyyun). In medieval and early modern times the corresponding Hebrew word ma'arav was used for North Africa. In Talmudic and Geonic times, however, this word "ma'arav" referred to the land of Israel as contrasted with Babylonia. For this reason many object to the use of "Mizrahi" to include Moroccan and other North African Jews.
The term Mizrahim or Edot Hamizraḥ, Oriental communities, grew in Israel under the circumstances of the meeting of waves of Jewish immigrants from the Europe, North Africa, Middle East and Central Asia, followers of Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Yemenite rites. In modern Israeli usage, it refers to all Jews from Central and West Asian countries, many of them Arabic-speaking Muslim-majority countries. The term came to be widely used more by Mizrahi activists in the early 1990s. Since then in Israel it has become an accepted semi-official and media designation.
Most of the "Mizrahi" activists actually originated from North African Jewish communities, traditionally called "Westerners" (Maghrebi), rather than "Easterners" (Mashreqi). Many Jews originated from Arab and Muslim countries today reject "Mizrahi" (or any) umbrella description and prefer to identify themselves by their particular country of origin, or that of their immediate ancestors, e.g. "Moroccan Jew", or prefer to use the old term "Sephardic" in its broader meaning.
Today, many identify all non-Ashkenasi rite Jews as Sephardic - in modern Hebrew "Sfaradim", mixing ancestral origin and religious rite. This broader definition of "Sephardim" as including all, or most, Mizrahi Jews is also common in Jewish religious circles. During the past century, the Sephardic rite absorbed the unique rite of the Yemenite Jews and lately the Ethiopian Jewish religious leaders in Israel have also joined the Sefardic rite collectivities, especially following rejection of their Jewishness by Ashkenasi and Hassidic circles.
The reason for this classification of all Mizrahim under Sephardic rite is that most Mizrahi communities use much the same religious rituals as Sephardim proper due to historical reasons. The prevalence of the Sephardic rite among Mizrahim is partially a result of Sephardim proper joining some of Mizrahi communities following the 1492 expulsion from Sepharad (Spain and Portugal). Over the last few centuries, the previously distinctive rites of the Mizrahi communities were influenced, superimposed upon or altogether replaced by the rite of the Sephardim, perceived as more prestigious. Even before this assimilation, the original rite of many Jewish Oriental communities was already closer to the Sephardi rite than to the Ashkenazi one. For this reason, "Sephardim" has come to mean not only "Spanish Jews" proper but "Jews of the Spanish rite", just as "Ashkenazim" is used for "Jews of the German rite", whether or not their families originate in Germany.
Many of the Sephardic Jews exiled from Spain resettled in greater or lesser numbers in many Arabic-speaking countries, such as Syria and Morocco. In Syria, most eventually intermarried with and assimilated into the larger established communities of Arabic-speaking Jews and Mizrahi Jews. In some North African countries such as Morocco, Sephardic Jews came in greater numbers and largely contributed to the Jewish settlements that the pre-existing Jews were assimilated by them. Either way, this assimilation, combined with the use of the Sephardic rite, led to the popular designation and conflation of most non-Ashkenasi Jewish communities from the Middle East and North Africa as "Sephardic" rite, whether or not they were descended from Spanish Jews, which is what the terms "Sephardic Jews" and "Sepharadim" properly implied when used in the ethnic as opposed to the religious sense.
In some Arabic countries such as Egypt and Syria, the Sephardic Jews arrived via the Ottoman Empire would distinguish themselves from the already established Arabic-speaking Jews known as Moriscos (Moorish-like in Ladino), in some others such as Morocco and Algeria, the two communities largely intermarried with the latters embracing the Sephardic customs and thus forming a single community.
In Arab nations (such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria), Mizrahim most often speak Arabic, although Arabic is now mainly used as a second language, especially by the older generation. Most of the many notable philosophical, religious and literary works of the Jews in Spain, North Africa and Asia were written in Arabic using a modified Hebrew alphabet.
Neo-Aramaic is a Semitic language closely related to Hebrew. It is identified as a "Jewish language", since it is the language of major Jewish texts such as the Talmud and Zohar, and many ritual recitations such as the Kaddish. Traditionally, Aramaic has been a language of Talmudic debate in yeshivoth, as many rabbinic texts are written in a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic. The current alphabet used for Hebrew, known as "Assyrian lettering" (Ktav Ashurit) or the "square script" (Ktav Meruba), was in fact borrowed from Aramaic.
In Kurdistan, the language of the Mizrahim is a variant of ancient Aramaic. As spoken by the Kurdish Jews, Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialects are descended from Jewish Babylonian Aramaic, as could be seen from its hundreds of reflexes in Jewish Neo-Aramaic. They are related to the Christian Aramaic dialects spoken by Assyrian people.
By the early 1950s, virtually the entire Jewish community of Kurdistan — a rugged, mostly mountainous region comprising parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and the Caucasus, where Jews had lived since antiquity — relocated to Israel. The vast majority of Kurdish Jews, who were primarily concentrated in northern Iraq, left Kurdistan in the mass aliyah (immigration to Israel) of 1950-51. This ended thousands of years of Jewish history in what had been Assyria and Babylonia.
Among other languages associated with Mizrahim are Judeo-Persian (Dzhidi), Georgian, Bukhori, Kurdish, Juhuri, Marathi and Judeo-Malayalam. Most Persian Jews speak standard Persian, as do many other Jews from Iran, Afghanistan, and Bukhara (Uzbekistan), as well as the Mountain Jews of Azerbaijan and Russian Dagestan, who speak a dialect of Persian called Juhuri.
After the establishment of the State of Israel and subsequent 1948 Arab-Israeli War, most Mizrahi Jews were either expelled by their Arab rulers or chose to leave and emigrated to Israel. According to the 2009 Statistical Abstract of Israel, 50.2% of Israeli Jews are of Mizrahi or Sephardic origin.
Anti-Jewish actions by Arab governments in the 1950s and 1960s, in the context of the founding of the State of Israel, led to the departure of large numbers of Mizrahi Jews from the Middle East. 25,000 Mizrahi Jews from Egypt left after the 1956 Suez Crisis, led to the overwhelming majority of Mizrahim leaving Arab countries. They became refugees. Most went to Israel. Many Moroccan and Algerian Jews went to France. Thousands of Lebanese, Syrian and Egyptian Jews emigrated to the United States and to Brazil.
Today, as many as 40,000 Mizrahim still remain in communities scattered throughout the non-Arab Muslim world, primarily in Iran, but also Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. There are few Maghrebim remaining in the Arab world too. About 5,000 remain in Morocco and fewer than 2,000 in Tunisia. Other countries with remnants of ancient Jewish communities with official recognition, such as Lebanon, have 100 or fewer Jews. A trickle of emigration continues, mainly to Israel and the United States.
Refuge in Israel was not without its tragedies: "in a generation or two, millennia of rooted Oriental civilization, unified even in its diversity," had been wiped out, writes Mizrahi scholar Ella Shohat. The trauma of rupture from their countries of origin was further complicated by the difficulty of the transition upon arrival in Israel; Mizrahi immigrants and refugees were placed in rudimentary and hastily erected tent cities (Ma'abarot) often in development towns on the peripheries of Israel. Settlement in Moshavim (cooperative farming villages) was only partially successful, because Mizrahim had historically filled a niche as craftsmen and merchants and most did not traditionally engage in farmwork. As the majority left their property behind in their home countries as they journeyed to Israel, many suffered a severe decrease in their socio-economic status aggravated by their cultural and political differences with the dominant Ashkenazi community. Furthermore, a policy of austerity was enforced at that time due to economic hardships.
Mizrahi immigrants arrived with many mother tongues. Many, especially those from North Africa and the fertile crescent, spoke Arabic dialects; those from Iran spoke Persian; Mountain Jews from Azerbaijan arrived with Azerbaijani; Baghdadi Jews from India arrived with English; Bukharan Jews from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan arrived with Tajiki; the Bene Israel from Maharashtra, India arrived with Marathi, Mizrahim from elsewhere brought Georgian, Judaeo-Georgian, Juhuri and various other languages with them. Hebrew had historically been a language only of prayer for most Jews not living in Israel, including the Mizrahim. Thus, with their arrival in Israel, the Mizrahim retained culture, customs and language distinct from their Ashkenazi counterparts.

↑ Mordechai Zaken, Jewish Subjects and Their Tribal Chieftains in Kurdistan: A Study in Survival, Brill: Boston and Leiden, 2007.
Based on new oral sources, carefully analyzed, this book explores the relationships between Jewish subjects and their tribal chieftains in Kurdistan, focusing on the patronage and justice provided by the chieftains and the financial support provided by the Jews to endure troubles and caprices of chieftains. New reports and vivid tales unveil the status of Jews in the tribal setting; the slavery of rural Jews; the conversion to Islam and the defense mechanisms adopted by Jewish leaders to annul conversion of abducted women. Other topics are the trade and occupations of the Jews and their financial exploitation by chieftains. The last part explores the experience of Jewish communities in Iraqi Kurdistan between World War I and the mass-migration to Israel (1951-52).
The author, Mordechai Zaken, Ph.D. (2004) in Near Eastern Studies, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializes in the history of the Kurds, the oriental Jewry, and the minorities in the region. He served as the Adviser on Arab Affairs to the Prime Minister of Israel (1997-99).
