Q: how to convert values in a table in nearst integer values removing the decimal points? I have a file say file.tsv which has several columns and looks like:
# Gene Family   xyz136  xyz140  xyz145  xyz147  xyz148
UNMAPPED    7650721.04472   4253028.928704  8415910.028496  7453466.3835    3282779.545448

UNGROUPED|g__Acidaminococcus.s__Acidaminococcus_intestini_CAG_325   0   0   0   0   0

How can I convert all the numerical values present in this table to convert to nearest integer by removing the decimal points?
I want it to look like this table:
# Gene Family   xyz136  xyz140  xyz145  xyz147  xyz148
UNMAPPED    7650721 4253029 8415910 7453466 3282780

UNGROUPED|g__Acidaminococcus.s__Acidaminococcus_intestini_CAG_325   0   0   0   0   0

NOTE: Althoug it is a .tsv file it is not looking like a table. I don't know which formatting tool should I use for that.
Thanks,
dc

A: You could try the numfmt utility, from GNU Coreutils:
numfmt --delimiter=$'\t' --header --format='%.0f' --field=2- <file.tsv

Alternatively, something like this in awk:
awk -F'\t' 'BEGIN{OFS=FS} NR>1 {for(i=2;i<=NF;i++) $i=int($i+0.5)} 1' file.tsv

LEsglésia de Sant Gregori és un monument del municipi de Sant Gregori (Gironès) protegit com a bé cultural d'interès local.

Descripció
Edifici de planta en forma de creu llatina, actualment amb tres naus, capelles laterals, cimbori i dues ales que parteixen del creuer a cada banda. L'absis central és de semicercle, amb volta de mig punt rebaixada i tres finestres de tipus romànic de doble esqueixada. Hi ha una absidiola al seu costat amb una finestra. A l'altra banda hi ha la sagristia en el lloc on anteriorment hi havia l'absidiola que falta. El cimbori amb quatre petxines ve suportat sobre quatre arcs sostinguts sobre amples pilastres. A la part superior hi ha una lluerna. Les capelles s'obren a la nau central amb arcs de canó rebaixats de pedra. El cor existent és una obra gòtica, amb nervis de pedra que sostenen l'arc rebaixat que s'aguanta a cada costat de nau damunt una petita cornisa. També hi ha el Comunidor, que aquí és situat a la planta superior en una torre, alta, amb quatre finestres d'arc de mig punt, obertes als quatre vents i coberta piramidal. En ella es conserva la part superior d'una escala de cargol de pedra que hi accedia.

Història
El 882 fou donada pel bisbe Teotari a la catedral de Girona. Hauria estat una petita construcció preromànica de la qual no se'n conserven restes. Al  o XI s'hauria ampliat, segons es pot veure en el pergamí de consagració realitzada pel bisbe Odó a finals del  o principis del . Devia tenir planta de creu llatina, una nau i capçal amb tres absis, cimbori i creuer. La nau devia tenir la llargada de l'actual i la portada era la mateixa. Es conserven dos dels tres absis primitius. És probable que fos consagrada el 1038. Fou la segona consagració, ja que el bisbe Odó ho havia fet 50 anys enrere. En el  i XIV es feren importants reformes. S'haurien obert els murs laterals de la nau i construït les capelles, donant així un temple de tres naus com és ara. El 1588 es construí la pica baptismal. De la mateixa època és la capella del Roser, acabada abans de 1606, i la del Sant Crist. De principis del  seria també l'actual campanar.

A la primera meitat del  es feren també altres obres: s'allargaren les naus del creuer amb les dues capelles fondes. Primer fou la del costat de l'evangeli, el 1727. La que es troba al costat de l'epístola és de 1730. Es construí la sagristia nova, destruint l'absidiola lateral romànica que falta. L'any 1851 s'hauria acabat el remat de caràcter abarrocat que configura l'actual façana principal. Finalment el 1984 s'han realitzat obres de restauració.

A lovely pair of antique c. turn of the century solid sterling silver grape shears, made by Tiffany & Co! This is a very substantial, quality pair of shears, not like the thinner mid-century styles. Marked "Tiffany & Co" and "sterling" on the back of the piece, engraved "Christmas 1892" on the front. In excellent condition, no damage, just light tarnish & wear.

I have been struggling today with the legacy of Reverend Billy Graham, the man often dubbed America's Pastor. It is undeniable that in bringing many to experience G*d and bringing his ministry into a broadened public square he changed many lives for the better. He was present at the side of Republican and Democratic presidents, even through the tumult of what would become the successful campaign to end statutory segregation and win legislation for civil rights for black Americans. He was given some credit by Dr. King, although they certainly diverged on the tactics and stridency of King's own relentless drive for justice. And I don't think the recording of him affirming Nixon's appalling words about Jews, for which he apologized, are that much in the scheme of things. But what to do about not only his personal religious beliefs about homosexuality, but his planting deep the seeds of making a mission out of making sure that gay and transgender people who embrace and love who they are have no place in either the religious world or rights in the secular world?
I have religious heroes whose beliefs and stances toward what G*d desires of us sexually is radically different than mine. The world has seemed to change for many (but of course people have always been gay or gender-non-conforming). Whether Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook or Pope Francis, I can draw profound teachings and lessons from those who would not leave room for what I believe is holy and what simply is for those whose own lives teach them what must be. And perhaps my feelings about Reverend Graham could be seen as having been locked in to a faith he had no tools to see differently, even as the AIDS crisis made his callousness toward the full humanity of those who suffered so deadly.
However, his legacy is more than just his own sermons and his own teachings on this issue. He taught many in a new generation to spread, along with the powerful and potentially transformative encounter with G*d, a distrust of social institutions and a need to make sure society not only stayed out of the Church's mission of salvation (arguably a good thing), but that the Church had a role to play in shaping, not only values, but laws dictating morality of the society, a much more challenging teaching.
Of course, he inspired many who would bring his fervor together with their own more open form of evangelism. But his own son has not been one of those. Franklin Graham, his son, stands not only with this President, but exclusively in partisan places. His rhetoric is sharp and intended to divide out the saved from the sinners, often saying caustic things about the same people his father saw as perverted and those who do not fully believe like he does, which his father once embraced.
There will be many words of reverence said about "America's Pastor" and also stark statements of rebuttal, some from the Americans that were not welcome in his tent. Some people I deeply respect have been and continue to be inspired by him. I believe the part that inspires them most is the part they will be able to bring more inclusively to those who look to bring their whole selves to encounter G*d in a way that moves them.


I do not really know how to review this one, how to rate this one. My problem was that I neither liked or disliked this book. I felt that it was rather forgettable.
What was my issue? See I did not care bout anyone. I got confused way too much. Suddenly someone new was talking. Suddenly someone was dead. And I was all, when did that happen? I also found myself not even knowing what I was reading at the moment. So I did not really care bout the story either.
But it had promise, I still plan to read book 2 as I have it. But, that but again, I just feel meh about it.
As for the story, she was there to cause rebellion. Did not feel she did so. She had some guy who worked for her (meh), some woman (meh). They met someone in the city (meh.) Seriously the only interesting person was this weird man who investigated stuff.
Sigh. This is not the way you want to book 1 to end. With a feeling that I will not read more. Not even if the library had it!
The first 300 pages has promise. Even with the instalove. Seriously why are those two in love?!?! They did not really talk for a long time, they just are. Whatever.
The world was interesting. Humans pushed out two other races and forgot about them. Because humans are stupid. They all lived in harmony once. And now darkness is coming, and humans are still stupid. Seriously two other races, leave and let the humans rot.
The hero was...confused most of the time.
Then I started to get bored, then I started to skim.
So for that ok first half it gets an ok. After that it just got boring and ridiculous . I would not recommend it.
Fair enough review, thanks for that.
I hate when I just don't care. It doesn't make the book bad (I tend to care--though not nicely about them), just makes it a 2 in my book.
Forgettable is the worst! I would much rather downright hate a book than be indifferent because at least then it made me feel something. Sorry that first one was so "meh".
Forgettable, then, oh well, there are plenty other books to read ! The first cover was good, though. Thanks for sharing !
Oh nooooo - the *meh* book. Those are the worst.
I hate books that leave me feeling lukewarm, neither here nor there. I much prefer despising a book. Anything is better than indifference.
Man, The Drowning City looks so exciting, stinks it was meh. It's so hard to review "just okay" books.
Sorry you had a double meh on these.
I'm sorry you weren't thrilled with these books. I hate when that happens.
I applaud your honesty. It's not a good sign when a benign character is more interesting than the main ones.
Well, in spite of everything, the first book sounds like something I'd like to check out. The second one though, ehhh, I have a very low tolerance for Mary Sues. And I just read a book with a "very special snowflake" character too, so I'm extra on edge these days.
I would not have finished the second one if I hadn't been mistaken in thinking I had book 2.
That't too bad these disappointed.
Why does blogger hate me? I had posted a comment...ugh...I don't even remember what I said.
The Drowning City.... I think I might have that on my shelves here.
Those are the books that are difficult to review. Those that you neither liked nor disliked. Boo.
Ugh.. the blurb for that first book sounds so good, but just meh is disappointing. I'll see what you say about book 2!

What is La La Logic?
The La La Logic curriculum is designed for children ages 3-6. It includes 100 weeks of curriculum with an included schedule made up of 4 or 5 days. Every time your child completes a week, you can mark it off.
What makes La La Logic unique is that each week includes a "brain challenge" that your child will do on the computer or an iPad. The brain challenges are computer games that are actually brain training exercises.
There is also one worksheet per week. The worksheet is simple, yet engaging. Children will practice cutting, pasting, and coloring.
Finally, there are also extension activities that are to be completed with an adult. There are lots of good things here including narration, poetry memorization, picture study, and copy work. There are even dramatic plays, scavenger hunts, and more fun logic games.
We loved the continuous brain challenge mode, which lets children play the logic games continuously. My kids never got bored with it.
Every week we would log on and follow that week's schedule. The kids first did the brain challenge. Both my four year old and six year old LOVED the brain challenges. They argued over who was going to play first!
These "games" included all kinds of educational activities like matching, counting, completing puzzles, and learning shapes and colors.
Afterwards, I would download the packet for each week. On Tuesdays we would do an enrichment set. For example, we may read a story and then do narration or copy work. There were also suggestions for incorporating nature study and math. On Wednesdays we would do the simple worksheet, and on Thursdays we would do another enrichment set.
One week we learned about emotions and we had fun making faces and guessing which emotion we were expressing.
I would often let my kids do the continuous brain challenge for a while when I needed them to be occupied. I felt good about them doing something educational, and they felt good about having so much fun!
Like I said earlier, my kids fought over doing the computer games. We did all of the games on my laptop, which has a touch screen, and the kids just had a blast.
I did enjoy the enrichment activities and my kids seemed to really like them, too. The great thing is the actual worksheets and enrichment activities take very little time. I would say you could finish those activities in 10-20 minutes per day.
I think this is an awesome homeschool preschool curriculum. It really has a lot of great activities to build your child's cognitive abilities. Now, this program is not focused on teaching your child to read or teaching mathematics skills. This program is more geared on helping those abilities to develop so your child's ability to learn will be limitless. Overall, we really loved this product and definitely recommend it!

Roger Mello, Award-Winning Brazilian Artist and Author
Roger Mello will be here! Mark your calendars!
On Monday, October 28, from 7:00-7:50pm in ECS 017, acclaimed Brazilian picture-book artist Roger Mello will speak about his creative process. The event is free. All are welcome.
Who is Roger Mello?
Roger Mello (source)
Born in 1965 in Brazil, Roger Mello has illustrated over 100 children's books — 22 of which he also wrote.
In 2014, he became the first artist from Latin America to win the Hans Christian Andersen Award — an award sometimes called "the Nobel prize for children's literature."
Always willing to experiment, Mello's artistic style shifts according to the needs of his story, and the questions his books raise invite readers to imagine answers. In two different visual registers, his wordless Selvagem [Wild] (2010) pits a modernist greyscale safari-suited man against a pop-art popsicle-orange-and-black cartoon tiger: The animal leaves the frame, chases the human, who ends up in the frame, as the tiger strides forth into the "real" world. His latest book to be translated into English, Charcoal Boys (2019), uses torn paper, vivid colors, and sharp line work to tell the story of child labor in Brazil's coal mines.
Having come of age during the Brazilian military dictatorship, Mello has said, "We grew up realizing that books might be really powerful since people could disappear because of them." Today, he creates powerful books that push against arbitrary aesthetic boundaries, and challenge readers to think. During a talk I heard him give in August, Mello spoke of how the Brazilian palm tree can look for water, adding: "Sometimes what we are doing seems impossible. If a palm tree can look for water, then anything is possible."
What brings him to Kansas State University?
Roger Mello at the International Research Society for Children's Literature conference, Stockholm, August 2019
Roger Mello has a few talks in the U.S., where he is — in part — to promote the publication of Charcoal Boys in its English-language translation.
I happened to meet him at the International Research Society for Children's Literature conference in Stockholm this past August. I noticed a panel on Children's Literature in Brazil featuring scholars of children's books, and Roger Mello. I blinked. Was the third panelist really the Roger Mello? I went to the panel — which, by the way, was excellent. And sure enough, it was Roger Mello! He spoke of his creative process, of art, and in particular of art's role in times like these. (For any who need reminding, Brazil has its own authoritarian president: Jair Bolsonaro, who is sometimes referred to as Brazil's Trump.)
At a reception afterwards, Roger and I struck up a friendly conversation. (In addition to being a world-renowned artist, Roger is also a very nice fellow!) One of the delights of my profession is getting to hang out with and learn from talented, thoughtful people. Chatting with Roger was a highlight of the conference for me. Since Roger was going to be in the U.S., he wrote to see if he might visit us here. And now,… thanks to the support of the English Department and to Anne Phillips, whose ENGL 825 seminar on "Illustration in Children's Literature" class meets on Monday evening, he will be here on October 28!

This book was recommended to me by someone after we had a conversation about meanings behind flowers in bouquets. I've always been interested in the symbolic meaning behind flowers, which is why my friend thought I might enjoy the book.
I suppose I'll start off by saying that, like any book, this isn't a story for everyone. Off the top of my head, I can say that anyone that doesn't enjoy slow-paced stories with a destructive main character and a dash of romance will probably not like this book. Especially readers who dislike and/or have no sympathy for characters suffering through extreme depression that respond to adversity in a way that comes off as more defeatist than resilient. (I also don't imagine a lot of guys scrambling to read this book either; I can see men thinking this story is corny and/or too "womanly" for their tastes and not enough action.) On the other hand, I think the main character's way of responding to difficult situations in her life seemed realistic enough as far as it did seem like one of many ways a person could react to life's obstacles.
I admit, personally I found it to be a bit of a struggle to get through the first few chapters of the story, but when I hit the part about another character, Grant (whom I honestly can't tell you how early or late shows up in the story), the ball really got rolling for me. After that, I just couldn't put the book down.
This is one of those stories where the romance part of the novel wasn't expected and kind of crept up on me. I really like when a story does that; where a romance just kind of helps the story along rather than being the central focus. The main point, I thought, was more about a woman who grew up with a background of abuse and negligence, and how she attempts to avoid being a repeat of the same type of people that harmed her in the past. Her actions can be viewed as both selfish/self-centered, and also well-intentioned to a certain degree. She's the type of character that really makes a mess for everyone else while trying her hardest to exactly the opposite of that.
Readers who align with the sentiments of the novel's supporting cast will probably find that they like the main character, whose name is Victoria. Those that are easily irritated by characters whom everyone seems to love regardless of how difficult and/or flawed they are, may not find this a very easy story to get through.
As for how I felt about it, I thought it was all right. Close to the end, I really wished that Victoria would be a little less stubborn and afraid, but on the bright side, things do work out for her by the conclusion. This isn't a novel I personally find worth putting in my permanent collection, but at the same time it wasn't completely painful to get through—it took me roughly 6 hours of one day to finish it, which is good. A bit longer than how fast it takes me to read a book that has me so engaged I fly through it, but at least it didn't take me weeks and weeks. I think one of the Harry Potter books I read took me several months to complete, and I only did so because I was stubborn and wanted to finish the series, even if I wasn't really interested in it anymore.
I think I would label this as a Sunday afternoon type of read. Like a lazy afternoon, maybe while out on a patio with a cup of tea and some light snacks or something like that, if you know what I mean.


Home Amazing Facts Smoking scorpions to get high is a growing problem in Pakistan.
The "high" lasts around 10 hours and supposedly makes everything look like it's "dancing". The scorpions can be smoked straight or mixed with tobacco or hash. A grimly fascinating report in Pakistan's Dawn newspaper April 15 features an interview with an aging scorpion-venom addict in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, near the border with Afghanistan. Sohbat Khan, 74, says he has been smoking scorpions to get high off the venom since the '60s, and only recently managed to kick the habit—by switching to opium.
"Drugs are beaten by other drugs," he sadly told a reporter, speaking in his native Pashto. The stuff appears be highly addictive, and when Khan could not find scorpions in his village, he would travel to Peshawar, the regional capital, to buy them in the market. The piece does not make clear if the scorpion trade is officially tolerated by authorities.

How brand safety detection inadvertently funds misinformation
Opinion, 22/01/2021
Augustine Fou, Marketing Science Consulting
Websites, online services, apps
Context & position of advertising
Virtually all advertisers are acutely aware of brand safety issues these days – from their ads showing up next to terrorist videos on YouTube or ads showing up on fake news, hate speech, or disinformation sites. So, they've been increasingly paying for 'brand safety' technologies that are supposed to help keep their ads away from these situations. But do those technologies do what they claim to do? No, and it's even worse than that.
Brand safety detection tech doesn't work well
Previous examples have shown that brand safety tech was responsible for blocking ads on the homepages of major newspapers like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, due to the presence of keywords like 'COVID-19' or 'coronavirus.' Despite their claims of advanced machine learning and 'semantic' understanding (what words mean), the evidence suggests that ads were blocked based on rudimentary keyword lists. Furthermore, 'content classification' of entire websites is prone to error (see examples below); even classification of individual webpages for brand safety may be entirely wrong. The word 'blood' in an article on a medical journal should be marked as 'safe' while the word 'blood' in other contexts may be marked as 'unsafe.'
Then, there's the issue of the actions taken as a result of the safety classification. For example, keyword blacklisting is a common practice where ads are blocked from a page if it contains a keyword on a blacklist. 'Shooting' is one of the most common blacklisted terms. However, it could mean 'shooting stars', 'shooting hoops', or 'shooting a photo' and ads should not be blocked. Recent research by Adalytics confirms how problematic and inconsistent brand safety detection is. For example, an analysis of nearly 26,000 articles on a mainstream news site – wsj.com – revealed that four in ten articles were classified in completely opposite ways – safe/unsafe versus unsafe/safe – by two different brand safety vendors.
This is similar to other adtech data issues like classifying the same user as both male and female: it's just bad data. Finally, brand safety tech is severely limited when it comes to text inside images. Even though some vendors claim to be able to detect unsafe words inside images using optical character recognition, most advertisers choose not to incur the extra expense; so, in effect, the brand safety tech is not protecting advertisers against brand safety issues on sites with predominantly image and video content.
Defunding real news
In addition to not protecting advertisers from unsafe situations, there's even more harm coming from the use of brand safety tech: the systematic defunding of real news. That means that ads are blocked on major, mainstream news sites because of keywords like 'Black Lives Matter', 'protests', 'coronavirus' etc. When ads are blocked on the homepages of these sites, the highest trafficked page of the site, it causes significant negative impact on the ad revenue of these news sites. But the ad dollars have to be spent, so those dollars and ads flow to less savory and higher risk sites like fake news, hate speech and disinformation sites. Adalytics data shows that between 10% and 50% of articles on mainstream news sites are marked as 'unsafe' by brand safety tech vendors, resulting in significant harm to those news publishers, i.e. revenue loss.
But advertising on 'the news' is not bad. In fact, it's better. Research shows the benefit of advertising on news sites. "Consumers feel that ads in a hard news story are more trusted. Average ad dwell time is 1.4 times higher in a hard news environment (45 seconds versus 32 seconds)," explains Michael Follett, managing director of Lumen Research, adding that "Ads on news sites get more attention than the same ads on other sites. This is, we believe, because people spend a long time engaging with the content on newspapers and so attention spills over from the content to the ad."
Funding fake news, disinformation, piracy
If the ads are blocked on real news sites, the ads and dollars flow to fake news sites. A special report from NewsGuard, published January 14, 2021, showed that more than 1,600 major advertisers – from P&G and Disney to The American Cancer Society and Harvard University – ran programmatic ads on 'untrustworthy websites' spreading misinformation, inflammatory content, falsehoods about Covid-19 etc. The ad dollars from mainstream advertisers flowed to fake news and disinformation sites, providing them with funds to survive and expand further. This is leading to real-world harm, like the events of the past two weeks. The Global Disinformation Index has been documenting dozens of examples of major advertisers ads and ad dollars flowing to disinformation sites, via ad tech platforms. Furthermore, fake sites disguised as news sites are also diverting ad revenue to themselves.
See: These Hugely Popular Local News Sites In The US And Canada Are Fake. And a study by White Bullet showed that ad supported piracy sites are bigger and more profitable today than ever before, all enabled by programmatic ad tech.
The utter lack of efficacy of brand safety tech is self-evident. Despite advertisers paying millions for these services, 'all of the above' is still happening, and it's worse than ever.
Recommendations for marketers
What can marketers do once they realize that brand safety technologies are not protecting them as they claim and are, in effect, enabling more ad dollars to flow to fake news and disinformation websites?
An obvious first step is to reduce spending through programmatic channels, which send their ads to hundreds of thousands of websites, including fake news, hate speech, porn, and disinformation websites.
Marketers should increase spending through 'direct buys' with mainstream publishers, including major news sites. Marketers can do so by specifically buying direct deal IDs set up by specific publishers in specific exchanges. This way, marketers also avoid the problem of domain spoofing where fake sites pretend to be mainstream sites. If marketers do this, then they wouldn't need to pay extra for brand safety protection tech.
There is hope on the horizon. Due to activism by shareholders and groups like Open MIC (Open Media and Information Companies Initiative), large advertisers like Home Depot and their agency Omnicom are starting to investigate if their ads funded misinformation (hint, they did).
Finally, common sense will tell you real human consumers visit news sites, they pay more attention when on such sites and they don't think negatively about the advertisers even if the ads run next to news stories about sensitive topics. Consumers can recognize the difference between the ad and the news. So marketers should ask themselves whether it's worthwhile to buy low-cost ads through programmatic channels, only to have to pay more for brand safety tech, but still inadvertently fund fake news and disinformation.

Q: Is memory malloc() through mmap() returned to OS immediately after calling free()? Is memory malloc() through mmap() returned to OS immediately after calling free()?

A: Be aware that mmap is a system call which might be quite expensive. malloc implementations take care to avoid calling it too often, that is why they manage previously free-d zones to reuse them later (in further malloc-s) without any syscall. In practice, most malloc implementations manage differently big allocations (e.g. more than a megabyte), which are often mmap-ed at malloc and munmap-ed at free time.
mmap-ed at malloc, memory is immediately returned to the OS, when you do free (internal munmap).
You could study the source code of some malloc.

A: According to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/mallopt.3.html

For allocations greater than or equal to the limit specified (in
  bytes) by M_MMAP_THRESHOLD that can't be satisfied from the free list,
  the memory-allocation functions employ mmap(2) instead of increasing
  the program break using sbrk(2).
Allocating memory using mmap(2) has the significant advantage that the
  allocated memory blocks can always be independently released back to
  the system.  (By contrast, the heap can be trimmed only if memory is
  freed at the top end.)  On the other hand, there are some
  disadvantages to the use of mmap(2): deallocated space is not placed
  on the free list for reuse by later allocations;

So the large allocations which should be done with help of mmap, has nothing to do with malloc's list of free or used blocks, and they're come back to system when freed.


Look at their sad litttle eyes.

If you visit Santorini (Σαντορίνη) and want a different beach experience you should definitely visit Red Beach (Κόκκινη Άμμος) in Akrotiri. Contrast colors are its main characteristics. The bright turquoise of the sea and the red volcanic cliff next to each other bring wonderful and breathtaking views. We believe that this beach is the most impressive beach in Santorini.

The Sites of Chemistry, 1600-2000 is a four-year project to investigate the multitude of sites, spaces and places where chemistry has been practiced since 1600. These will be explored in a series of annual conferences, each devoted to a particular century. A final conference in early 2015 will explore themes and developments over the whole period and on a broader comparative scale.
The first conference, on "Sites of Chemistry in the 18th Century," was held in Oxford at the Maison Française on 3-5 July 2011.
The second conference, on "Sites of Chemistry in the 19th Century," was held in Valencia on 5-7 July 2012.
The third conference, on "Sites of Chemistry in the 20th Century," will be held at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, on 19-21 August 2013. It will immediately precede the 9th ICHC conference in Uppsala on 21-24 August 2013, www.9ichc.se.

— девиз правления (нэнго), использовавшийся в 1334—1336 годах японским императором Го-Дайго и в 1336—1338 годах императором Комё.

Продолжительность
В течение двух лет девиз Кэмму был общим для всей империи, но в 1336 году император Го-Дайго (Южная ветвь императорской семьи) бежал из Киото и объявил новый девиз правления Энгэн. Императорская династия династия фактически разделилась на две: южную и северную. Во главе Южного Двора стал Го-Дайго, а во главе Северного — император Комё, который продолжал отсчитывать годы Кэмму, пока не переменил в 1338 году девиз правления на Рякуо.

Временные границы эры:
 Начало: 29-й день 1-й луны 4-го года Гэнко (по юлианскому календарю — 5 марта 1334);
 Конец:
 Южный Дворяп.: 29-й день 2-й луны 3-го года Кэмму (по юлианскому календарю — 11 апреля 1336);
 Северный Двор: 28-й день 8-й луны 5-го года Кэмму (по юлианскому календарю — 11 октября 1338).

Происхождение
Название нэнго было заимствовано из 1-го цзюаня древнекитайского сочинения Хоу Ханьшу:「建元為建武」.

События
даты по юлианскому календарю

 1333—1336 — реставрация Кэмму — попытка императора Го-Дайго вернуть власть после падения Камакурского сёгуната. Планы были сорваны самураем Асикага Такаудзи, который основал новый сёгунат Асикага, или сёгунат Муромати. Провал реставрации привёл к образованию двух конкурирующих императорских дворов, которые боролись за господство до 1392 года;
 1334 год (1-й год Кэмму) — по указу императора Го-Дайго написана книга «Кэмму нэнтю-гёдзи» («Обряды годов Кэмму»), в которой описывались придворные ритуалы и церемонии; книга должна была помочь процессу возрождения древнего придворного этикета;
 1334 год (1-й год Кэмму) — сторонники рода Ходзё — Акабаси Сигэтоки (монах Кэмпо), а также Хомма, Сибуя, Кику, Итода и другие — подняли восстание, но были разбиты и все погибли;
 1335 год (7-я луна 2-го года Кэмму) —  — восстание сторонников рода Ходзё (Фудзивара Киммунэ, Ходзё Токиюки, Сува Ёрисигэ и др.). Войско повстанцев численностью пять тысяч человек двинулось на Камакуру и нанесло поражение Асикага Тадаёси. Однако Асикага Такаудзи наголову разбил повстанческое войско под предводительством Нагоя Токимото; Ходзё Токиюки спасся бегством;
 1335 год (2-й год Кэмму) — восстание Нагоя Токиканэ на севере, также было подавлено;
 4 июля 1336 года (25-й день 5-й луны 3-го года Кэмму) — Битва при Минатогава;
 1336 год (3-й год Кэмму) — анонимный автор опубликовал , хронику годов Кэмму; текст является источником информации о законах, правительстве, чиновниках, пахотных землях и поместьях, пожалованных императором знати или религиозным организациям;
 1336 год (3-й год Кэмму) — Асикага Такаудзи выпустил правовой кодекс «Кэмму сикимоку» из 17 статей, регулирующий поведение знати.

1. In many cases service of a notice is by hand, immediately on site. Where the noticeis served on an employee then you need to ensure that you also let a senior officer of the company know that a notice has been served.
2. Section 46 HSWA details ways by which a noticemay be served. There will be other ways to achieve service outside the scope of Section 46 as the section is permissive not prescriptive..
Section 46(6) allows service on the owner or occupier of premises.
3. If the recipient of a notice accepts that they have received it, this cures any defect in service.
4. Section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978 states that any document served by post (properly addressed, prepaid and posted) will be deemed to have been served at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the usual way by post, unless proved otherwise.
5. In order to confirm that a notice has been properly served details of the delivery and signature can be obtained through the postal system used.
6. You should serve the first copy of any notice (typed or written); the second must be pre-served in the office records. Where appropriate a copy of the notice should be placed on the public register, (in FOD this is done through the COIN record).
7. You need to inform the recipient of a notice of their right to appeal the same. Details of the method of making an appeal (T420: Making a claim to an Employment Tribunal) and a form to use (ET1) are available from the HM Courts and Tribunal Service.
8. Where there is a history of non-compliance, or extensive resources are required to comply with a notice, you should ensure that a copy is brought to the attention of an appropriate senior manager or director. In the event of non-compliance this may assist in a prosecution of that person under section 37 of the HSWA.
9. A copy of the notice should be provided to employees or their representatives in accordance with section 28(8)(b) of HSWA.
10. Service of improvement notices where the corporate body operates on a number of sites has given rise to difficulties in the past. You should therefore ensure that the notice comes to the attention of senior members of the organisation and also to ensure that it is served; in the case of a corporation, at the registered office which may be a firm of solicitors or accountants.
c) If you do not receive any acknowledgment of receipt then you should serve the notice in one of the ways outlined under s 46 HSWA.
12. Section 46(6) provides that, where service is authorised on the owner or occupier of premises, it may be sent by post to those premises or addressed by name to the person on whom it is to be served and delivered to some responsible person who appears to be resident or employed in the premises. This has been interpreted as limiting service to those premises where the notice alleges a contravention by a person subject to a duty specifically imposed on an occupier. It is not enough that the person is in fact the occupier of those premises and has contravened a relevant statutory provision1.
13. There are general statutory restrictions in place to prevent the reporting and publication of alleged offences or criminal proceedings which could reveal the identity of a person under 18 years of age2. The restrictions apply to press releases and publicly accessible databases (eg the HSE notices database).
14. Where a notice is served on a person under the age of 18, the inspector must advise FOD Legal and Enforcement in writing, so that the name of the young person is omitted from the entry on the notices database.

We've reached the final days of Brent Musburger's legendary career as a sports broadcaster.
ESPN announced on Wednesday that Musburger will be calling just two more college basketball games before stepping away from broadcasting, with the final game coming on January 31st as Georgia takes on Kentucky in Lexington.
Here's the farewell statement from Musburger.
"What a wonderful journey I have traveled with CBS and the Disney company," Musburger said. "A love of sports allows me to live a life of endless pleasure. And make no mistake, I will miss the arenas and stadiums dearly. Most of all, I will miss the folks I have met along the trail.
Wait, Las Vegas? Yep – according to the Associated Press, he'll be starting a sports handicapping company with his family.
Musburger, who is 77 years old, plans to move to Las Vegas and help his family start a sports handicapping business.
Now that's truly incredible – a sports handicapping firm in Las Vegas. He couldn't be moving into a more appropriate industry, could he?
At least Brent got to go out after calling a New Year's Six bowl game for ESPN. It would have been a farce if the last college football game he called was something like say, the TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville.

Q: How do I split a list of array? Here is the list array:
{"things":{"1":"1_4","3":"3_13","4":"4_18","5":"5_25","6":"6_28","7":"7_32"}}

here is the code:
var t = things;
string aa = t[0].ToString();

How do I split the above array in , separator and _ .
from the above array i want only 1_4,3_13...this column and save in two different var.
when I am using
string[] ss = aa.Split(new char[] { ',', '|', }, System.StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

the problem is that in first list {"things":{"1":"1_4".
comes
so how to remove {"things"??

A: You should not parse JSON yourself. Do not reinvent the wheel.
You should define a class
public class MyClass
{
    [JsonProperty("things")]
    public Dictionary<int, string> Things { get; set; }
}

Then deserialize your string into an instance of MyClass
var rawData = "{\"things\":{\"1\":\"1_4\",\"3\":\"3_13\",\"4\":\"4_18\",\"5\":\"5_25\",\"6\":\"6_28\",\"7\":\"7_32\"}}";
var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyClass>(rawData);

Then you can use data
Console.WriteLine(data.Things[1]);

You should add Newtonsoft.Json Nuget package to your project and add using Newtonsoft.Json namespace to your code file.

A: Instead of string manipulation, you should use JSON library like Json.Net. Simply, because you are working with string in JSON format and it will be easier to work with that information if you deserialize it into proper object or JObject.
Example with JObject:
string json = @"{""things"":{""1"":""1_4"",""3"":""3_13"",""4"":""4_18"",""5"":""5_25"",""6"":""6_28"",""7"":""7_32""}}";
var jObj = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse(json);
var prop1 = jObj.GetValue("things").GetPropertyValue("1").ConvertTo<string>();
var prop4 = jObj.GetValue("things").GetPropertyValue("4").ConvertTo<string>();

Note: You can create classes which will represent your JSON structure, if you want to have strongly typed object structure.

A: You should first split by { then discard the first and after that you are left with:

"1":"1_4","3":"3_13","4":"4_18","5":"5_25","6":"6_28","7":"7_32"}}

Now you split with , and get

"1":"1_4"
"3":"3_13" and so on.

Then you split each with : and take the second one.
Only remember that the last one is "7_32"}} which you should remove the trailing }}
Like this:
var elems = aa.Split(new[] { '{' })[1].Split(new[] { ',' });
var res = elems.Select(obj => obj.Trim("}".ToCharArray()).Split(new[] { ':' }));

Hope this is what you want :)


This Is What Happens To Chicken Before It Reaches Your Dinner Plate.
We have nothing but respect and admiration for vegans and vegetarians, particularly those who make it a point to prioritize the lives of animals over their own taste for meat, cheese, and eggs. However, there's also nothing wrong with not being a vegetarian or a vegan -- as long as you confront the fact that eating meat should fall in line with your ethical and environmental values.
In other words, eating meat shouldn't be taken lightly, and this post is full of images that prove it. If you're going to consume things like beef, pork, or poultry, you should also be able to accept head-on the harsh realities of factory farming, and then hopefully find alternatives in the meat section at the supermarket.
As documented by the information below, factory-farmed chicken live incredibly dark, brief lives -- all so they can end up on your dinner table in less than two months time. The process they go through is inhumane, and definitely makes the case for obtaining your meat from smaller farms where animals are treated well, fed healthy organic diets, and allowed to graze and practice their natural animal habits before being humanely slaughtered. As you'll see below, that's totally different from what happens to factory farmed chickens, and the reality of their lives is hard to see.
Many people wouldn't argue with a roasted chicken being placed on the dinner table.
And while we're not here to pass moral judgment on those who eat meat or choose not to eat meat, there are some harsh realities of factory farming that we should all know about.
Videos like this come in the wake of the allegations at Tyson Chicken earlier in the month, wherein workers were documented abusing the animals.
This footage is from another factory chicken farm, taken secretly by an animal rights worker on the conveyor belt line.
The first part of the process is especially tough.
Workers sort through thousands of chicks during "quality" control. The heads of weaker chicks are torn off while the baby chicks are still alive and thrown into a trash bag. Sadly, some of them aren't even dead before they are thrown away.
The ones who make it to the conveyor belt are the "lucky ones."
But as you'll see later, they really aren't lucky at all.
Each chick gets a vaccination shot.
Then they're thrown down a rotating hole for sorting.
