Q: Adicionar quantidade itens a lista de acordo com o while Quero que o while faça o loop até que a condição seja falsa, porém ele pergunta o nome de dois alunos e simplesmente encerra.
Exemplo - > Coloquei 10 na quantidade de alunos, O while pede 2 vezes o nome e encerra a aplicação.
Code:
import os
import time

alunos = []
contador = 0

qtd_alunos = input("Numero de alunos: ")
qtd_alunos = int(qtd_alunos)

while contador <= qtd_alunos:
  aluno_nome = input("Nome aluno: ")
  alunos.append(aluno_nome)
  contador = contador + qtd_alunos
else:
  print("Alunos adicionados.")
  time.sleep(5)
  os.system("cls")

print("Mostrando alunos\n")
for aluno in alunos:
print(f"Nome do aluno: {aluno}")

A: Para obter o resultado esperado o contador deveria ser incrementado em uma unidade a cada iteração, mas ele está sendo incrementando com a quantidade de alunos: contador = contador + qtd_alunos. Basta mudar a linha que incrementa o contador para contador += 1

Did Trump Pardon Alice Johnson Or Commute Her Sentence? He Made A Calculated Decision
By Celia Darrough
Drew Angerer/Getty Images News/Getty Images
A 63-year-old woman was sentenced to life in prison for drug charges — and she served 21 years before Trump decided Wednesday to free her. While it's clear she'll be released from prison, one thing has been murky. Did Trump pardon Alice Marie Johnson or commute her sentence? You might think, whatever, she's getting out of prison, but they are not the same thing.
Pardons and commutations are both forms of clemency, which Merriam Webster defines as a decision to "moderate the severity of punishment" or an "instance of leniency." But there's a huge difference in the two actions. A commutation — which is what Trump did for Johnson — ends the punishment that a person had received for a crime. A pardon, however, would take the conviction off of her record.
"A pardon wipes out the conviction while a commutation leaves the conviction intact but wipes out the punishment," Michael Waldman, the president of the Brennan Center for Justice at the NYU School of Law, told ABC News a decade ago when President George W. Bush commuted the sentence of White House aide Scooter Libby.
As Mic has reported, Johnson was convicted of drug conspiracy and money laundering in 1997 for her role in a cocaine distribution operation. By commuting her sentence, this essentially means that, yes, Johnson will be released from prison, ending her punishment for the crime. But her conviction has not been forgiven.
While many are celebrating Trump's decision to commute Johnson's sentence, others are pointing out who he has pardoned (and therefore erased the crime from their record).
For instance, last August, Trump pardoned former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of criminal contempt after he continued to perform immigration raids that had been found to be unconstitutional. Arpaio ran a "tent city" that he referred to as a "concentration camp" for undocumented immigrants, forced male detainees to wear pink underwear in an attempt to humiliate them, set up a webcam filming female inmates using the bathroom, and overall did a lot of things many people found extremely offensive.
In pardoning him (and in effect, clearing him of all wrongdoing), Trump said, "Throughout his time as sheriff, Arpaio continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration."
Trump also recently pardoned Dinesh D'Souza, a conservative who was convicted of campaign finance fraud. Laws state that one person can only give a certain amount to a political candidate or campaign, but D'Souza skirted this by having other people donate and then reimbursing them. Despite having pleaded guilty, D'Souza claimed that he was targeted by the Obama administration for conviction because he was conservative.
"And so, this was a vindictive political hit that was kind of aimed at putting me out of business," he said on Fox & Friends, adding that it left "a cloud" over him. "I would be a lifelong felon. I would never be able to vote and never have my full rights."
It's the last part of that quote that's also important to note. By commuting Johnson's sentence rather than pardoning her, and therefore leaving her criminal conviction in place, her life will not immediately return to normal upon release.
A statement from the White House noted that Johnson had "accepted responsibility for her past behavior" and had "worked hard to rehabilitate herself in prison, and act as a mentor to her fellow inmates." It added:
While this Administration will always be very tough on crime, it believes that those who have paid their debt to society and worked hard to better themselves while in prison deserve a second chance
Johnson's commutation came just a week after Kim Kardashian met with Trump to discuss prison reform. Kardashian has long been a champion of Johnson's, working to get her released. She made no mention of the fact that Johnson's conviction will not be erased, tweeting, "BEST NEWS EVER!!!!" and later echoed the White house when she added, "Her commutation is inspirational & gives hope to so many others who are also deserving of a second chance."

Red Carpet RoundupHere's What You Missed From The 2018 MTV EMA's
Nov 5, 2018 12:01 pm
From gorgeous red carpet glam to epic performances, the 2018 MTV European Music Awards were a spectacular, drama-filled evening.
Taking place in Bilboa, Spain on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018, it was hosted by Hailee Steinfeld and featured epic performances by all of our favorite artists — Jack & Jack, Bebe Rexha, Little Mix, Janet Jackson, Anne-Marie, Marshmello, Bastille, Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and more!
Besides the amazing lineup of performers, the red carpet looks were also to die for. Some of the best included Debby Ryan's super cute pants suit and Camila Cabello's fiery red dress, but all the outfits were certainly on point.
BTS, who didn't attend the awards, beat out Camila, Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes, and Taylor Swift for the Biggest Fans award.
The award show was certainly a night to remember, and J-14's rounded up the best looks and the top moments from throughout the star-studded night. Scroll through to find out who took home all the awards and who stole the show!
Alessia Cara, who won Best World Stage looked adorable on the red carpet in black pants and a leather jacket.
Ashlee Simpson melted our hearts when she showed off some adorable PDA with her hubby Evan Ross on the red carpet.
Jack & Jack performed their song "Rise", where the two floated above the stage with a whirlpool, black hole-looking-thing in the background. It was certainly a cool performance, and not to mention they looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet in tuxedos!
Lindsay Lohan had all eyes on her in a brown, ruffled dress which she paired with black heels for the fun night.
Bebe Rexha, who went all out with her performance of "I'm a Mess" and had over 100 dancers, sparkled on the red carpet.
Nicki Minaj also hit the stage to perform, singing her hit "Good Form" flawlessly before being joined on stage by Little Mix for an epic performance of their new hit, "Woman Like Me." Not only did the ladies own the stage, but they also slayed the red carpet as always!
Hailee Steinfeld absolutely killed it as the award show's host and a performer! She sang her newest hit, "Back To Life," which is featured in the new movie Bumblebee. The actress and singer who's currently dating Niall Horan, performed the song while being spray painted by robots!
Camila Cabello was the night's biggest winner taking home four different awards including Best Artist, Best Video, and Best Song! She looked flawless in a red, long dress.
Dua Lipa, who took home the award for Best Pop looked gorgeous on the red carpet in a short floral dress. Some other award winners included Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Shawn Mendes, 5 Seconds of Summer, and Grace VanderWaal!
Halsey's raw, emotional performance of "Without Me" (as well as her gorgeous red carpet style) left us shook to the core.
Debby Ryan rocked a striped ensemble for the glamorous event.

I just came in from taking snow measurements. We have five inches of snow in McMinn County, Tennessee. The secondary road that we live on is dicey. Unless you have a vehicle with high ground clearance travel may be difficult in spots.
Our electricity is out. Volunteer Electric Cooperative said that 13,000 homes were without electricity a couple of hours ago. This is a rural area. It's disconcerting that so many homes have been effected. They said the crews are working hard but did not give time estimates. Hopefully, they'll get everyone's electricity back on soon.
It will help that the weather is warming up tomorrow. The WATE weather forecast is predicting a low of 27 degrees tonight and a relatively balmy 43 degrees tomorrow. Sunshine should help warm up the roads. I'm hoping for that anyway.
Here are a couple of photos that I took. You can see what we're looking at this afternoon. For those who can get out, have a happy Valentine's Day tomorrow. We'll be spending it indoors. How about you?


For those wondering what day job destroys jeans fastest, we think we've found our answer. Toronto's J. Browler is a tile setter by trade and by the look of his submitted photos, he's also a professional jean thrasher. So much so that he and his pair are our Fade Of The Day.
His Unbranded UB122's have been worn only to work, but by the look of them they've been worn to work, the gym, and through a carwash without the car. Maybe thrown in a trash compacter too for good measure.
First thing's first, the crotch looks like it's been rebuilt more often than an over-raced Z28 Camaro IROC. Between the damage and fades to the knees and the never ending honeycombs around back, it look like he spends more time working on his knees than on his feet (ouch). Nearly every square inch of the rest is thrashed, trashed, and mashed. And you know what, they're just perfect.

Nintendo did not release a definitive launch list of titles available day one at the company's Wii U preview event, but the Nintendo Web site says 20 games will be available on November 18.
A lot was learned at the Nintendo Wii U preview event in New York this morning, but surprisingly enough, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime did not deliver a definitive launch list of Wii U titles available alongside the console on November 18.
Instead, much to the attending crowd's chagrin, Fils-Aime said "it's still a little too early to guarantee exactly which games will be here for you on launch day itself and which will come shortly thereafter." Mind you, the "launch window" Fils-Aime is referring to spans from November 18, 2012, all the way to March 31, 2013.
I did a little digging around and found that the games section on the Nintendo Wii U site lists 20 titles as having November 18 release dates. The rest are labeled as "to be determined."
Keep in mind that any of these dates can -- and most likely some of them will -- change, but this information is coming straight from Nintendo.
We'll have more news and commentary on the Wii U in the following days and weeks, and be sure to check out our full review coming soon.

1935: And so it begins...
We begin our story in 1935. Founded by Trade & Technical Exhibitions Ltd in association with Hotel Review and Caterer & Hotelkeeper and launched as 'Hotel, Restaurant & Catering Exhibition', at Olympia.
Hotel, Restaurant & Catering Exhibition attracted 30,000 people across six days and gained high accolades, being dubbed 'the greatest exhibition in the history of catering' by Caterer and Hotelkeeper.
1939-1945: The War Years
Although the Hotel, Restaurant & Catering Exhibition received record numbers of visitors in 1937, the show took a hiatus during The Second World War.
1948: A Rapturous Reception
1948 was a big year for the Hotel, Restaurant & Catering Exhibition. The show was opened by Harold Wilson, then president of the Board of Trade, and was received with a rapturous reception, with over 70,000 attendees visiting the nine day event.
As well as the record number of visitors, the show also attracted 220 exhibitors, meaning that, for the first time, the gallery level of Olympia was required.
1952: Hotelympia is Born
In 1952 Hotelympia was officially born, the name change was prompted as the show had become so firmly established in its location, Olympia London.
1972: The Dark Side
During the mining strikes of the early 1970s, the show got quite a bit darker (literally), as it had to run without any lighting on the stands, due to the scarcity of energy at the time. "The only illumination we had was from the main lights within the hall, which were on the dim side to say the least," explained event veteran Peter Sayer.
1980: Mr Brown
At the end of the 1970s and into the 1980s, the show felt the actions of the IRA. Bomb threats were not uncommon, with the tannoy announcement, "would Mr Brown please report to the organisers' office" sending the entire hall into a flurry of activity.
1988: The Queen Mother Pays a Visit
In 1988 Hotelympia was graced with a visit from Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who took particular interest in the Salon Culinaire competitions. Salon Director at the time, Peter Griffiths, recalled her visit, "The salon timetable, to which we try and stick rigidly, was thrown into chaos as the Queen Mother walked the aisles".
1990: Princess Diana & Weather Woes
The second royal visit happened at the show in 1990 with an appearance from Princess Diana, who came to watch the final of 'School Meals Cook of the Year'.
1990 was also the year of extreme weather conditions. A storm caused significant damage to the roof of Olympia. Part of the roof actually collapsed, causing a large number of stands to be unusable for the rest of the show. The indomitable spirit of the show persevered however, with the simple solution to the weather woes being to head to the pub opposite. "There's a rumour that, for some, the roof hadn't actually hit the floor before people were enjoying their first pint," stated Steve Laughton.
1992: National Chef of the Year
Chef Gordon Ramsay wins the title of National Chef of the Year at Hotelympia, where the final was hosted.
1994: A Move to Earls Court
In 1994 Hotelympia moved to the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. After 59 years at Olympia, there were a few confused attendees. Coaches were deployed to make the trip from Olympia to its new location.
2004: ExCeL Calling...
The show's continual growth then facilitated a move to the ExCeL Centre, a brand-new state of the exhibition centre with easier access for stand building and no pillars(!), where it is still held today. The development of the area around ExCeL with improved transport links and new hotels and restaurants has played a part in helping Hotelympia to continue, going from strength to strength.
2016: Exciting Addition to Salon Culinaire...
One of the cornerstones of the event over the years has been the highly prestigious Salon Culinare and the 2016 event saw the introduction of a brand new Skills Theatre. Aimed at students and apprentices at the early stage of their career it 'does what it says on the tin' as they show their skills in a competition setting in classes such as "Butcher a Whole Chicken for Sauté", "Lemon Sole Filleting" and "Flambé Work".
In March 2018, Hotelympia returned with four brand new shows, providing a platform for restaurants, hotels, pubs, casual dining and contract caterers to meet, review and source from the finest suppliers available in the market.
2020: Hotelympia returns to it's roots
Hotelympia has retuned to its orginal name HRC – Hotel, Restaurant and Catering and will take place at ExCeL London from 3-5 March 2020. The event will bring together four shows covering everything from food, drink, catering equipment, interiors, technology alongside talks, masterclasses, panel debates and much more. We look forward to seeing you at HRC in March!

Postsurgical Behavioral Changes
Jay A. Van Gerpen, John A. Lucas, Julie A. Fields
Psychiatry and Psychology
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease (Twelves D, Perkins KS, Counsell C. Mov Disord 18:19-31, 2003) and afflicts more than four million people worldwide (Dorsey ER, Constantinescu R, Thompson JP, et al. Neurology 68:384-386, 2007). Neurosurgical treatments for the debilitating symptoms of this movement disorder are implemented when medical therapy no longer provides sufficient benefit. Lesioning techniques initially utilized decades ago have been supplanted, for the most part, by deep brain stimulation (DBS) because of its potential reversibility should DBS prove to be unsuccessful or result in undue adverse events. Additionally, stimulation parameters can be adjusted as needed to optimize benefit (from both motor and neurobehavioral standpoints), and when bilateral procedures are necessary, DBS procedures are considered a safer alternative or adjunct to ablation. Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is currently the target of choice because it relieves most of the cardinal symptoms of PD and greatly reduces the amount of medication needed. Evaluation of postsurgical behavioral changes is complex because there is no universal methodology that allows direct comparisons among studies, which not only results in disparate findings across studies but precludes generalizability. Nevertheless, it is necessary to document change, be it beneficial or detrimental, in order to guide informed decision making regarding future treatment and/or rehabilitation. Although modern-day techniques are often deemed "relatively safe" from a cognitive and behavioral standpoint, there is mounting evidence that cognitive and psychiatric morbidities do occur quite frequently. Decline in verbal fluency is the most common finding, regardless of ablation or DBS techniques, but studies provide evidence of wide-ranging deficits in other aspects of cognition as well, albeit often not clinically significant for the patient. In contrast, psychiatric and mood disturbances observed with alarming frequency especially after STN-DBS, significantly compromise patients' daily functioning and quality of life (QOL), and may even lead to death. So the question remains as to whether we can really say with certainty that surgical treatment is "safe." Optimal cognitive and behavioral outcomes depend on appropriate selection of surgical candidates informed by detailed pre- and postoperative assessment of cognitive and psychiatric status.

Spider Holster, makers of the highly regarded Spider Pro and Black Widow strapless camera holster systems, recently launched two exciting new products on Kickstarter. The first is called the SpiderLight Hand Strap and it is being billed as the ultimate hand strap for the increasingly popular mirrorless and lightweight DSLR cameras on the market. These small but high quality cameras are excellent for active people who want something portable that can also take great pictures on adventures. Spider Holster is also launching a Backpack Adapter for their Black Widow Holster, which is designed to offer a convenient means of quickly attaching your camera to your bag so that it is easily accessible. This is a great option for hiking as it keeps the camera within reach without weighing you down with a neck strap.
Hand straps are a great alternative to neck straps because they are much less cumbersome and with smaller sized cameras, they give you back a lot of the lost ergonomics that are compromised for portability. It's a nice way to carry a camera in a ready to shoot position, without worrying about dropping it while hiking around. Spider Holster is heavily focused on ergonomics and usability when designing camera carrying accessories and the SpiderLight Hand Strap looks to have had a lot of thought put into it. The shape and materials used give it a rigid yet comfortable structure that makes it easy to get your hand in and out quickly when you are picking it up or putting it away. For a customized fit, you can adjust the length of the strap. With your hand in the SpiderLight Hand Strap, you can safely and securely hold your camera up high above you or down below you with one hand and also get the benefits of adding some stability to your grip.
did we mention that it feels great and looks beautiful?
The SpiderLight Hand Strap will be available in 6 colors including: Red, Copper, Deep Blue, Light Blue, Lilac, and standard Black. Spider provides adaptors that allow the strap to attach to all flagship mirrorless cameras and also works without interfering with your tripod mounting plate if you use one. During the Kickstarter campaign, a pledge of $30 gets you one SpiderLight Hand Strap and there are discounts for larger pledges.
Spider Holster's Black Widow Holster is a holster system originally designed to keep your small camera on your hip taking the weight off your neck and shoulders and being where it is out of the way but easy to access. With the Backpack Adapter, you can now easily attach the Black Widow Holster to a backpack strap. It works simply by allowing the holster to attach to a vertical strap as opposed to a horizontal belt. Spider is also including a small pad that can be used to provide extra support and comfort between your body and camera. This looks to be an awesome approach for hikers and backpackers that are already carrying a pack. It's easy to miss a photo opportunity if you can't access your camera quickly and having it right on your shoulder strap is highly accessible.

Q: How to restore accidentally deleted /etc/bash.bashrc, without reinstalling Ubuntu? In a brand new system, I mistakenly deleted /etc/bash.bashrc, by creating and redirecting to it, instead just appending.
How could I restore it without reinstalling the system?
As the experts here know, this is an important file in the system and I need it for proper working of the system as well as aliases.
I tried rebooting assuming it will be recreated but it isn't. In a quick Google search I found nothing (I found many results regarding restoring ~/.bashrc but of course it's different).
How could I restore it fast without copying from another PC?
A same-PC minimal, fast, solution.

A: Either restore that single file from bash's deb package:
$ apt-get download bash
$ dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile bash_*.deb > /tmp/bash_pkg.tar
$ tar -Oxf /tmp/bash_pkg.tar ./etc/bash.bashrc | sudo tee /etc/bash.bashrc

Or restore all missing files of bash:
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall bash

There is also a file which might be helpful to you:
/usr/share/doc/adduser/examples/adduser.local.conf.examples/bash.bashrc

however I believe that this file is belong to adduser package.

The solution isn't fewer link blogs, but more of them. By taking microblogging back from Twitter, we create a natural place for traditional blogs to grow. Indie microblogging is the gateway drug for long-form content.
I'd love for this to be true, but I wonder if it is. If short-form blogging was the gateway drug to long-form blogging, wouldn't Twitter have already lead the way? I'm rooting for the Indieweb, but not sure we'll ever be able to pull ourselves out of the situation we've created.


Martin Buonora is the co-owner/operator of the Buonora Child Development Centers; a group of schools offering licensed Preschool, Kindergarten and Summer Camp for children eighteen months to twelve years, since 1988, as well as Early Intervention programs for children with special needs, from birth to five years, plus an extensive Parent Resource Center.
The Buonora Centers programs focus on the development of the whole child, featuring a hands-on, child-centered approach to learning. That is why it is no surprise that the Buonora Centers have been bringing their students to The Gentle Barn since The Gentle Barn's inception.
In addition, Martin is a published author, has a strong background in construction project management and is a licensed Spiritual Practitioner and Reiki master.
"I have been coming to The Gentle Barn for fourteen years and have always felt the amazing connection that is made between animals and people. The Gentle Barn Foundation plays a vital roll in our community and is essential to become a bigger part of our global community. I am excited to be on the National Committee, to help with this most important expansion."

The imposing structure here is the Lincoln Tunnel air vent.
Greyhound Bus Lines Maintenance Building
Lincoln Tunnel
These on-ramps and off-ramps connect to the busiest vehicular tunnel in the world, handling 120,000 vehicles a day. Opened in 1937, it was the first major tunnel project to be completed without a single worker fatality.
Corner (536 W 41st): Mercedes Benz dealership
STEPINAC PL N ===>
Croatia's wartime cardinal was either a fascist supporter or an opponent of genocide--maybe both.
502: Croatian Cultural Center.
Lincoln Tunnel ramps
Corner (460 W 41st): This Catholic program to help homeless teens became notorious in 1990 when it was revealed that director Father Bruce Ritter had been helping himself to homeless teens--a scandal that foreshadowed the priest sex abuse story a decade later. The building was put up in 1970 as the Manhattan Community Rehabilitation Center 8
(450 W 41st St): The Hunter MFA Building, featuring the Hunter College/Times Square Gallery. Once NYC Community College's Voorhees Campus. Also houses The New Press, an independent imprint that was started by Andre Shiffren of Pantheon when Newhouse took over that house. Publishers of Rush Limbaugh's Reign of Error.
S <=== DYER AVENUE ===> N
Lincoln Tunnel access
410: Metro Baptist Church; formerly a Polish Catholic church, now a progressive Baptist mission. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter lived here while working on their first Habitat for Humanity project.
Corner (539 9th Ave): Troy Turkish Grill
These ramps connect the Lincoln Tunnel to the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
Corner (541 9th Ave): Sea Breeze Fish Market
Corner (542 9th Ave): Bus Stop diner
356 1/2: Unmarked dive bar is a favorite of journalists--including Jayson Blair, who wrote his notorious piece on Jessica Lynch's hometown while sitting on a stool here.

Port Authority Bus Terminal
The world's largest bus terminal, with more than 50 million passengers a year, was built in 1950 (expansions in 1963 and 1980) by the same interstate agency that gave us the World Trade towers. There are plans to add a high-rise office tower addition.
Looking for a bowling alley? The Port Authority has one of the few left in Manhattan.

269 (corner): Was Taylor Business Institute, founded in 1961.
Corner (560 7th Ave): Parsons School of Design's Fashion Education Center; Donna Karan and Tom Ford are alums.
World Apparel Center
Block: With more than a million square feet of space, this block-spanning 1970 building is touted as the premier showroom for the Fashion District. A statue on the 7th Avenue plaza honors a garment worker, but more striking is the giant needle and button.
This block was previously home to the Metropolitan Opera House from 1883 until 1966. Built by Gilded Age businessmen like William Vanderbilt who were denied boxes at the Academy of Music on 14th Street, it soon eclipsed the older venue as the central stage of New York society (as depicted in Edith Wharton's Custom of the Country). It saw the American debuts of Enrico Caruso (11/23/1903) and Vaslav Nijinsky (4/12/1916). The beloved house was doomed by the Metropolitan Opera company, which insisted, when it moved to Lincoln Center, that the building's buyer tear it down so that a rival opera company could not use it.
114: Courtyard Marriott/Times Square South; business-oriented hotel
110: World Tower Building, a 30-story bulding finished in 1915.
108: Croton Reservoir Tavern, restaurant with a 19th Century feel, a 50-foot bar and a mural of its namesake.
104: Springs Building, a black-glass Harrison & Abramowitz building finished 1963. One tenant is the Midtown Pregnancy Support Center, part of the religious right's project to fool women seeking abortions into listening to their propaganda. The building appears in the film The Bourne Ultimatum as a CIA operational headquarters.
119: Lewisohn Building, 22 stories put up in 1922.
Bryant Park Studios
80 (corner): This 1901 landmark was designed (as the Beaux Arts Studios) by Charles Alonzo Rich for Colonel Abraham A. Anderson, a gentleman portraitist who had returned from a stay in Paris with that city's enthusiasm for north light. A great many artists have lived and/or worked here, including photographer Edward Steichen; painters Winslow Homer, William Merritt Chase and Fernand Leger; and print-maker Kurt Seligmann.
On the ground floor is the Park Side Cafe & Market; this used to be the Cafe des Beaux Arts, an opulent ''lobster palace'' frequented by musical comedy stars. Owned by the Bustanoby brothers, it featured a ladies' bar where men could drink only if accompanied by a woman.
58: Banks Building
54-56: Daytop Village, the country's oldest drug counseling service (founded 1963), is in the former Republican Club, a 1904 York & Sawyer building noted for its heroic segmented columns.
American Radiator Building
40: A striking black-and-gold Art Deco building designed in 1924 by Raymond Hood (architect of Tribune Tower). The subject of a Georgia O'Keefe painting. Renamed the American Standard Building, then converted into the Bryant Park Hotel, which features the vaulted Cellar Bar, a restaurant ILO
32: The Columns, formerly the Engineer's Club, built in 1907, reportedly for Andrew Carnegie. Was the site of the Comstock School for Young Ladies, which I believe was the school that Theodore Roosevelt's sister and future second wife attended. . After one of the young ladies, Helen Neilson Potts, died here in 1891 of morphine poisoning, her clandestine lover, Carlyle W. Harris, was executed for her murder.
28: Around the World, newsstand with many fashion mags.
20: The parking lot here was once the site of the Wilkie Building, a nine-story Flemish-style building from 1907, designed by Henry Hardenbergh to house the New York Club. It was bought in 1945 by supporters of Freedom House, a right-wing "human rights" group (Sandinistas bad, Salvadoran death squads good), who renamed the building for 1940 GOP candidate Wendell Wilkie. After vandalizing the building to prevent landmarking, Freedom House sold it in 1985 to Republic National Bank, which turned it into the present parking lot.
12: 7th Day Adventist Book Center. I have to admit they have a point about Saturday being the Sabbath. Was Tappe, a women's wear store.
8: This was inventor Nikola Tesla's office from 1915-24.
Corner (452 5th Ave): HSBC Tower, formerly the Republic National Bank Tower, a 1983 modernist building that incorporates the 1902 Knox Hat Building. (Knox Hats is still around on 8th Avenue, dba Arnold Hatters.) Houses the Boomer Esiason Foundation, fighting cystic fibrosis.
Bryant Park
This area was set aside as early as 1686 for public use; from 1823 to 1840, like many of Manhattan's parks, it was used as a pauper's graveyard. In 1842, the Croton Reservoir was built on the east side of the space, where the New York Public Library is now, and the remaining land became known as Reservoir Square.
The Crystal Palace was built on the site in 1853, a marvelous seven-story exhibition space made of glass and cast iron that housed America's first world's fair before burning down spectacularly on October 5, 1858.
After serving as a parade ground for Union troops during the Civil War, Reservoir Square was designated a park in 1871, and was renamed in 1884 for William Cullen Bryant, poet, lawyer, New York Post editor, abolitionist and park advocate. It was not much of a park, though, until it was landscaped in French garden style in the 1930s, the object of a contest for unemployed architects.
By the 1970s, the park had become chiefly known as a drug market (dubbed "Needle Park"), but since a re-landscaping in 1992 occasioned by the creation of underground stacks for the library, it's become a highly valued urban space, with 2,000 chairs for urbanites to relax on.
It's the venue for popular outdoor movies in the summer. A plan to use trained falcons to control the pigeons was scuttled in 2003 when one attacked a dachshund.
Sculptures in the park include an imposing Bryant, Goethe, Gertrude Stein, copper maganate and YMCA founder William Dodge (by John Quincy Adams Ward; (originally in Herald Square) and Brazilian liberator Jose de Andrada --not to mention Big Crinkly by Alexander Calder.
25: Bryant Park Cafe and Grill
Technically, this is just one of four research libraries--the Humanities & Social Science Library, to be specific--but this is the heart and soul of the NYPL. One of the world's greatest libraries, the NYPL was formed in 1895 by combing the Astor, Lenox and Tilden libraries. From 1902 to 1911, this Beaux Arts architectural masterpiece designed by Carrere & Hastings was constructed to house the collection.
Authors who have used the library include Isaac Bashevis Singer, E.L. Doctorow, Somerset Maugham, Norman Mailer, John Updike, Tom Wolfe and Frank McCourt. The Xerox copier, the Polaroid camera and the atomic bomb were all researched here. Almost all the information in Ripley's Believe It or Not! came from here--as did much of Reader's Digest.
This was previously the site of the Croton Distributing Reservoir, a massive tank holding water from the Croton River, completed in 1842. Walking along its monumental Egyptian walls was a popular recreation, recommended by Edgar Allan Poe; the base of the reservoir serves today as the library's foundation.
The pink marble lions outside the library are Patience and Fortitude--nicknamed by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia.
Mid-Manhattan NY Public Library
Corner (445 5th Ave): Not as cool as the Main Branch, but here you can check the books out.
On this site was Gordon's Riding Academy, where the first polo game in America (and perhaps the first ever indoors) was played in 1876, introduced to this country by newspaper heir James Gordon Bennett Jr.
10: The editorial offices of Marvel Comics were in this building in the 1990s.
Corner (461 5th Ave): Pier 1 Imports is on the groundfloor of a 1988 post-modern Skidmore Owings & Merrill building; note exposed trusswork.
3: Clarion Fifth Avenue hotel; formerly a Quality Inn.
13: Permanent Mission of Cyprus to the U.N.
Corner (90 Park): Sterling Drug Building (1964). This 41-story building, along with the National Distilleries Building across the street, were both designed by Emery Roth & Sons, who also designed the World Trade Center. Sterling, founded in 1901, owned Bayer aspirin and other popular over-the-counter remedies; it was absorbed by Eastman Kodak in 1988.
Young & Rubicam
Corner (285 Madison): This advertising agency may be the archetypal company people think of when they hear "Madison Avenue." Founded in 1923, the company started the science of market research when it hired George Gallup. It led the way in creating ads for new forms of media, as when it produced the first color TV commercial. It owns noted defenders of evil Burson-Marsteller. Owned in turn by WPP, which owns most of the big names in advertising and PR.
25: Bentley's Discotheque is at the address of Champs Elysees, described as one of New York's 100 Best Restaurants in 1955.
S <=== PARK AVENUE ===> N
Corner (91 Park): National Distillers Building (1954). The company, which made Old Grand-Dad among other brands, was added to the Dow-Jones Industrials in 1934 to represent the newly legalized liquor industry. It was acquired by Jim Beam in 1987.
112: Togo Permanent Mission to the U.N.
118: Hotel Bedford. Domenico's is on the ground floor.
Corner (101 Park): This off-kilter black glass tower was built by Peter Kalikow in 1985, and houses his offices. A real estate developer, Kalikow now chairs the MTA and is pushing Grand Central expansion and the 2nd Avenue subway. As "Clamp Tower," the building was taken over in the movie Gremlins 2. Built on the site of the 1912 Architects Building, where McKim, Mead and White had their offices for a time.
109: Architect Ernest Flagg (known for the Singer Building) designed his own house here in 1906 to accommodate the newly popular automobile--there was an elevator to lower a car to the basement garage. The house was demolished in 1979.
115: Once the home of the Architectural League, a professional organization founded in 1881 at the Salmagundi Club. Prominent architects like Henry Hardenbergh and Raymond Hood have served as presidents. MIT's Technology Club borrowed space here from 1947 to 1955; the American Institute of Graphic Arts was here from 1936 to 1951.
144: Seton Hotel
148: Jonathan W. Allen Stable, a landmarked, Second Empire carriage house built 1871.
Corner: Sterling National Bank, founded 1929.
Corner (622 3rd Ave): Grand Central Plaza, also known as the Blue Cross Building, a 38-story black-glass tower that L-shapes across the block.
Corner (605 3rd Ave): John Wiley Building; offices of John Wiley & Sons. Founded in 1807, they published some of New York City's greatest literary figures: Herman Melville, Edgar Allen Poe, Washington Irving. Now known for technical books.
Corner (633 3rd Ave): Docks Oyster Bar, popular but pricey seafood.
S <=== TUNNEL EXIT STREET ===> N
238: Engine 21 Firehouse. Capt. William F. Burke Jr. led this company into the North Tower on September 11--then ordered his men to get out while he continued searching for unevacuated civilians.
250(corner): Highpoint, 49-story condo built 1988.
235 (corner): Vanderbilt condos; 41 floors, built 1985. Named for Commodore Vanderbilt, creator of Grand Central. Kristin Davis, the so-called Murray Hill Madam, was arrested at her apartment here in 2008 for allegedly running a prostitution ring.
245: Marlborough House, 35-story apartment building from 1975. Named for a royal palace in London.
300 (corner): The Churchill apartments; 32 stories, built 1967. Winston Churchill's mother, Jenny Jerome, was a New Yorker who grew up on Madison Square. Home to the 5 O'Clock Club, executive career coaching.
S <=== TUNNEL APPROACH ST
A self-contained development, built in 1925-28 by the Fred F. French Company, in the half-timbered style of Ye Olde England. Few of the windows face east because in those days there were mostly slaughterhouses and glue factories where the U.N. is now.
The area used to be called Dutch Hill, where "one can hardly enter a shanty where is a sober family," according to an 1872 account.
Corner (5 Tudor City Pl): Tudor City's Windsor Tower, noted for its ornate stonework entrance. This is the back entrance and parking garage. This building is the target of a bomb plot in the Al Pacino movie Scarface.
Con Edison Waterside Station
Con Ed demolished this plant and increased power production at its 14th Street facility. Now an enormous vacant lot, it's to be replaced with high-rise apartment buildings and office towers. There's talk of a riverfront park being built over the FDR Drive.
The section between 39th and 40th streets was actually quite handsome-- a classic old red-brick factory building. It's highly unlikely that what they replace it with will be more attractive.

Should we modernise or preserve?
By Lesley Tate
"BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder," said the chairman of Craven District Council's planning committee before moving refusal of a garden balcony addition to the former Settle Police Station.
The planned terrace, with its glass balustrade, represented for the majority of councillors on the committee the unacceptable face of modernism.
And to make it worse, it jarred horribly with the traditional architecture of the listed Victorian police station and courthouse.
Quite apart from the fact it might encourage the holding of parties, smells and noise, so startling people passing by below, it would be an unwelcome blot on an "attractive" building.
Which all raises the question of taste and what for some is an ugly "glass box" is for someone else a clever use of a flat roof, which at the same time dares to be slightly different. It also raises the question whether an entire building of "modern" design would ever win favour with Craven planners, or whether we will be forever stuck in a preserved past.
Meanwhile, in Skipton, the town council is faced with what could end up being a very expensive headache indeed.
The Holy Trinity Church wall is going to need repairing in the not too distant future and a number of options are now facing the council, which became responsible for the church wall and closed graveyard in the 1970s.
Central to its decision is the future of the footpath between the wall and the road. The path could be made wider so people could use it, but that would mean the wall moving back; the path could be diverted through the churchyard, which would mean some sort of ramped access; or the wall could be more cheaply secured with the use of buttresses planted in the ground.
The council is inviting suggestions, as whatever it decides will shape a very important part of the town for many more generations to come.

Rather than being publicly traded or owned by a small group of individuals, The Vanguard Group is owned by Vanguard's US-domiciled funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Those funds, in turn, are owned by their investors.
This unique mutual structure aligns our interests with those of our investors and drives the culture, philosophy and policies throughout the Vanguard organisation worldwide.
In Europe, Vanguard leverages the scale, experience and resources of our established global business. Vanguard's ownership structure means that our clients don't have to worry that we'll be acquired. The company they invest with today will continue to serve them in the future.
Investors can't control the markets, but they can control the costs of investing. Providing low-cost investments isn't a pricing strategy for us. It's how we do business.
Vanguard's scale also helps to keep costs low. As our assets under management increase, we can reduce expense ratios for the investors in our funds globally.
The ownership structure of our parent company, The Vanguard Group, aligns our interests with those of our clients. Because Vanguard is not publicly traded, we can extend the benefits of that structure to our clients in Europe.

My Lessons offer a comprehensive, hands-on education in modern drumming techniques and styles.
Lessons are tailored to each student's level, learning ability, and goals.
Studio equiped with Two drumsets, Video and Audio Recording studio, and (almost) Every Modern drumset educational product.
"Make That Call to Matt and GET STARTED!"
Matt and I connected immediately and I can say that with Matt, I learned more in two lessons then I did in three months with other instructors in the area. Additionally, I have seen Matt interact with his students under 10 years of age as well as his adult students. Matt has the ability to connect with students of all age ranges and varying drumming abilities.
Matt Smith is a SUPER drum teacher! My kids can't wait to go to lessons each week. He inspires them to understand and enjoy music. They carry their drumsticks everywhere they go and my daughter successfully auditioned as the drummer for a school rock band! She gets lots of compliments from teachers and fellow students.
"I was playing along to my favorite songs in No Time"
I've learned more in a few lessons than what I learned in months at some other place. Learning how to read and count music has helped me tremendously with my drumming and music skills!
"Learn Something New Each Week"
Matt's lessons are great! I get to learn something new each week, while having fun! It's a great environment for learning!
"I take pride in getting my students to achieve their drumming goals!"


Australian author Path has creatively written an engaging book with a collection of short stories that delve into fears and how they affect our lives and how the characters manage to overcome them. Path's clever use of fairy tale, pirate and cowboy and girl characters opens a menagerie of fears that impact greatly upon each character's ability to function within their world. Imagine a witch who is afraid of toads or a dragon that can't breath fire. I like the fact that the book uses short stories so that they can easily be visited and revisited over and over again. Teachers will find this book a useful resource in their classroom due to the stories having an educational slant. This book would be suitable for 8-12 year olds.
Path's style of writing engages young readers with a little old world charm, and a touch of the modern day too. The stories move along easily with a mix of short and long sentences. The vocabulary used has a sprinkling of new words that will expand the younger reader (including the title).
Path is an independent author who is clearly following her passion to write for children with sixteen books published to date and more to come. She is clearly determined to spread her writing wings.

Q: Last buttons in a row is missing I have a jquery loop where it displays buttons A - Z but what it does is display 7 buttons in a row. So it should look like this below:
    A B C D E F G
    H I J K L M N
    O P Q R S T U
    V W X Y Z

But the problem is that this loop is causing the last buttons in each row to be missing. So buttons G, N and U are missing. I want to know why are they missing and how can I fix the code below to show these buttons as well as the rest of the buttons.
    var i = 1;

    $('#optionAndAnswer .answers').each(function() {
        var $this = $(this);
        var $newBtn = '';
        if($this.is(':visible')){
            $newBtn = $("<input class='answerBtnsRow answers' type='button' style='display: inline-block;' onclick='btnclick(this);' />").attr('name', $this.attr('name')).attr('value', $this.val()).attr('class', $this.attr('class'));
        }else{
            $newBtn = $("<input class='answerBtnsRow answers' type='button' style='display: none;' onclick='btnclick(this);' />").attr('name', $this.attr('name')).attr('value', $this.val()).attr('class', $this.attr('class'));
        }

                    if(i % 7 == 0){
              $answer.append($newBtn+"

");
            }
            else
             $answer.append($newBtn);
            i = i+1;
        });

PHP CODE:

<?php
    $a = range("A","Z");
?>

    <?php
        $i = 1;
        foreach($a as $key => $val){
            if($i%7 == 1) echo"
";
            echo"<input type=\"button\" onclick=\"btnclick(this);\" value=\"$val\" id=\"answer".$val."\" name=\"answer".$val."Name\" class=\"answerBtns answers answerBtnsOff\" style=\"display: inline;\">";
            if($i%7 == 0) echo"
";
            $i++;
        }
    ?>

A: [ignore]
$newBtn+"

"
That's a jQuery instance + String.
I think that's where the problem lies.
Try keeping newBtn as a string all through until a final $answer.append($(newBtn));.
[/ignore]
I just tried building a single string and it turns out to be cumbersome.
The following solution is closer to your original intent, but avoids the trap of trying to append the invalid HTML fragment "

":
var $this, i=0, $row, $cell;
$('#optionAndAnswer .answers').each(function() {
    $this = $(this);
    if(i%7 == 0) {
        $row = $('
').appendTo($answer);
        $cell = $('').appendTo($row);
    }
    $("<input class='answerBtnsRow answers' type='button' style='display:%s;' onclick='btnclick(this);' />".replace('%s',$this.is(':visible')?'inline-block':'none')).attr('name', $this.attr('name')).attr('value', $this.val()).attr('class', $this.attr('class')).appendTo($cell);
    i++;
});

Tens of thousands of people spend hundreds of hours each year playing bridge. What's so great about the game?

This series is appropriate for adults, and for middle-school and high-school students accompanied by adult family members.
Bridge players, bridge prodigals, and the bridge-curious are all welcome.
If you're not a bridge player yet, we'll play stepping-stone games that introduce bridge concepts.
If you're a non-competitive bridge player, or you're returning to the game after some time away, we'll get you started with modern duplicate bridge.
If you're already playing duplicate bridge, this is a chance to get some supervised play, with hand records at the end of the evening.
Dates: Monday evenings in January (2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th). February dates will be scheduled toward the end of January.
Times: 7pm to 9pm

Q: An issue of reading different matrices in one YAML file... I have a problem, it might be trivial to many of you...
I'm reading different images, extract SIFT features  and save the features in Yaml file... which I got a file of:
descriptors1: !!opencv-matrix
   rows: 342
   cols: 128
   dt: f
   data: [ 0.,.........
   ....................]

descriptors1: !!opencv-matrix
   rows: 393
   cols: 128
   dt: f
   data: [ 0., 0., 3., 62.....
   ......]

and so on... The first part is the first image information and the second part in the second image information
The think so far is quite satisfy my work...
but when I'm reading it I got only one part which is the first one (i.e reading only the information of the first image (and it's neglecting the rest of the file) :(
This is the way for reading my code
FileStorage fs;
fs.open("cola.yaml", FileStorage::READ);
if (!fs.isOpened())
        {
          cout << "failed to open " << "test.yaml" << endl;
          return 1;

}

Mat descriptors1;

fs["descriptors1"] >> descriptors1;
fs.release();

What I want is to read all the information contained in this file... So I got in the end one matrix has all the information of different images (I'm getting 342*128 matrix) but I want (735*128 matrix)
What should I do?

A: Save the two descriptors with different names, in the YAML file
by example descritors1 and descriptors2.


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. ELLIS!
I highly recommend Mr. Ellis and endorse his skill as an excellent attorney. Mr. Ellis represented me during a DUI appeal case. The result of my trial was a "Not Guilty" verdict. This result was achieved because of hard work, preparation and attention to detail. Mr. Ellis listened and focused on me as his client. I watched Mr. Ellis as he reviewed and indexed all of the details from the first case which I lost with a different lawyer. The approach Mr. Ellis took with me on the case was the complete opposite of the way my previous lawyer handled my first case. It was really refreshing to work with a professional who was fighting for my right as a citizen for a fair trial. I without hesitation recommend Mr. Ellis.
