Q: Is it possible to flatten an array that is 700 000 entries long without exceeding the call stack? I am trying to flatten a huge array that consists of 100 000 items, I am flattening it twice because it is 2d and I want to get all objects inside the 2nd arrays:
[ [ {} ] ]
What I have tried is using reduce and using concat, like this:
Concat. firstFlat is processed within a second. secondFlat causes the max call stack to be exceeded.
let firstArray = Array(100000).fill(Array(7).fill({}));
let firstFlat = [].concat.apply([], firstArray);
let secondFlat = [].concat.apply([], firstFlat);

Reduce. The call stack is also exceeded
let array = Array(100000).fill(Array(7).fill({}))
                         .reduce((x, y) => x.concat(y))
                         .reduce((x, y) => x.concat(y))
                         .reduce((x, y) => x.concat(y));

I can't think of a solution, probably because I don't quite get what the call stack is exactly. I know that it's the 'stack' of all functions currently being executed. But shouldn't reduce be only 1 function? And the anonymous function inside is executed once, and then the anonymous function is used with other arguments. So there should be a 1 reduce function on the callstack and 1 anonymous function. So how does it exceed the call stack? The only reason I can think of is that reduce is a function loop, I don't know how to call it, but like I mean this: function a() { a() }, which it probably is. In that case I would be better off using forEach/for. But then why does the first method exceed the callstack? Concat is just one function as well right? I'm so confused.
I would really appreciate some help! Thanks in advance
Edit: The same issue seems to be happening with Object.assign. All of these functions rely on function loops. I think it should be updated so they use async await instead, so the call stack doesn't fill

A: OP here, My theory about reduce being a 'convenience loop function' was right, which was quite clear tbh. This is processed within a second:
firstArray = Array(100000).fill(Array(7).fill({}));
let list = [];
for(let i = 0; i < firstArray.length; i++)
    for(let j = 0; j < firstArray[i].length; j++)
        list.push(firstArray[i][j]);

Good luck with your project (if anybody needed this :))
@MathRobin posted a better solution, check that one out :P

A: Suggest you to use the spreading operator. More "powerful".
let firstArray = Array(100000).fill(Array(7).fill({}));
Array.prototype.concat(...firstArray) // (700000) [...]

The first flattening step comes with the usage of spread operator.
After "translating" the spread operator, it does something like this :
Array.prototype.concat(firstArray[0], firstArray[1], ..., firstArray[699999]);

And this is the second level of flattening.

Q: Can't grasp : making a simple singleton in python (for a mongodb manager) I have read the various main examples of singletons but I have trouble making what I want. My main inspiration here is this example :
class OnlyOne:
    class __OnlyOne:
        def __init__(self, arg):
            self.val = arg

        def __str__(self):
            return repr(self) + self.val
    instance = None
    def __init__(self, arg):
        if not OnlyOne.instance:
            OnlyOne.instance = OnlyOne.__OnlyOne(arg)
        else:
            OnlyOne.instance.val = arg
    def __getattr__(self, name):
        return getattr(self.instance, name)

But I don't need anything like getattr, here is my code so far:
class MongoManager:
    class __MongoManager:
        def __init__(self):
            # Initialise client
            self.client = pymongo.MongoClient('localhost', 27017)

    __instance = None

    def __init__(self):
        if not MongoManager.__instance:
            MongoManager.__instance = MongoManager.__MongoManager()

All I want is to get the variable client when I type MongoManager.client, but I get the error AttributeError: 'MongoManager' object has no attribute 'client'.
I guess I could try with getattr and check something like if arg == "client" but it feels dirty, I'm sure there's a proper way to do that.

A: Try this:
class MongoManager:
     __instance = None
     @staticmethod
     def getInstance():
         if MongoManager.__instance == None:
             MongoManager()
         return MongoManager.__instance
     def __init__(self):
        if MongoManager.__instance != None:
            raise Exception("This class is a singleton!")
        else:
            MongoManager.__instance = pymongo.MongoClient('localhost', 27017)

You can get instance of this class by calling MongoManager.getInstance().
What we are doing here? We have a class variable __instance and when object of the class is created, we are initializing it. Now, when we call getInstance() this instance which is stored in __instance will get passed instead of creating new instance.

A: I managed to do exactly what I wanted. I didn't completely understand how __getattr__ worked so a bit more reading was necessary.
class MongoManager:
    class __MongoManager:
        def __init__(self):
            # Initialise mongo client
            self.client = pymongo.MongoClient('localhost', 27017)

    __instance = None

    def __init__(self):
        if not MongoManager.__instance:
            MongoManager.__instance = MongoManager.__MongoManager()

    def __getattr__(self, item):
        return getattr(self.__instance, item)

Now whenever I call MongoManager().client, I get the desired client.

Devils coach John Hynes gets multiyear contract extension
New Jersey coach John Hynes received a multiyear contract extension, a reward for making the playoffs last season for the first time since the Devils reached the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals.
NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey coach John Hynes received a multiyear contract extension, a reward for making the playoffs last season for the first time since the Devils reached the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals.
The team announced the deal Thursday, saying Hynes' leadership was instrumental in building a culture and system for the development of the players. Contract terms were not immediately available.
"He has cultivated a group of veteran leaders, while helping our young players develop and gain experience," general manager and executive vice-president Ray Shero said. "John is to be commended for the progress the team has made under his direction and this commitment shows that we are confident in the role he will play in our future success."
Hynes is in his fourth season with the Devils. The team is currently 15-17-5 and out of the playoff picture with half the season to play.
"John has been an important part of the progress we have made toward our ultimate objective of competing at the highest level in the league year in and year out," Josh Harris, the Devils' managing partner said. "We have been impressed with John's leadership ever since he became a first-time NHL head coach with the New Jersey Devils three years ago.
"He is a fantastic teacher and mentor, qualities which have served the organization well in developing our young talent. His ability to communicate and connect with players has helped define our culture and inspire those around him to be their best."
Hynes is the second-winningest head coach in Devils' history. The team finished 44-29-7 last season when Taylor Hall had an MVP season.
During his time in New Jersey, Hynes also worked for Team USA as head coach at the 2016 World Championships and assistant coach at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
"John's passion for excellence on and off the ice is a critical building block for all that we hope to accomplish as an organization," co-managing partner David Blitzer said. "John is representative of who we are and what we look to become."
Hynes has said he wants his team to be gritty and competitive.
"We've established a standard in New Jersey of what we expect — how we act, how we practice and how we play," he said.

Mar 06, 2018 - A new shipping service for Northland's $40 million kiwifruit industry will take more than 500 truck and trailers trips off the road south of Whangarei and increase profits for the region's growers.
Starting May this year, Northland's kiwifruit will be able to travel directly to Singapore from Northland, via a new service being trialled out of Northport, at Marsden Pt, by the Mediterranean Shipping Company.
The Geneva-based company has announced its container vessels will stop at Northport to load Zespri kiwifruit and other locally grown produce every fortnight.
The new service is called "Kiwi Express" in a nod to its major target crop.
According to an article on nzherald.co.nz, Northland produces around three and a half million trays of kiwifruit a year, which equates to about 13,000 pallets and is worth around $40 million. The volume of trays is expected to double in the next three years.

One year after COVID-19 began its relentless spread across the world, the contours of a global order reshaped by the pandemic are starting to emerge. Just as the virus has shattered lives, disrupted economies, and changed election outcomes, it will lead to permanent political and economic power shifts both within and among countries. To help us make sense of these shifts as the crisis enters a new phase in 2021, Foreign Policy asked 12 leading thinkers from around the world to weigh in with their predictions for the global order after the pandemic.
A time for leadership
John Allen, the president of the Brookings Institution
Few, if any, true winners will emerge from this global health crisis—not because the disease was beyond our control but because most countries failed to exert the leadership and societal self-discipline necessary to bring it under control until vaccines became available.
COVID-19 has exposed vulnerabilities, magnified weaknesses, and exacerbated long-festering issues.
COVID-19 has fast become one of the ultimate stressors on our already fragile international system, exposing vulnerabilities, magnifying weaknesses, and exacerbating long-festering issues. At the most basic level, this difficult moment has highlighted just how ill-equipped our global health systems are, forcing many countries to make devastating ethical decisions to determine who among their citizenry is most deserving to receive medical care. Furthermore, rather than build a renewed global coalition to fight this awful disease, many countries have instead relied on isolationist policies. This has resulted in piecemeal, ineffectual responses as cases once again spike wildly all over the world, the United States being one of the worst examples.
In truth, COVID-19 represents a complex series of interconnected transnational problems that demand leader-driven, multilateral solutions. To address issues such as systemic racism, climate change, and the need for a global economic recovery, it is truly imperative that we seek to strengthen, not weaken, our shared international order. While science will ultimately save us, there is no hope for coordinated action against the disease—and for our ultimate recovery—without leadership.
The seeds of revolution
Anne-Marie Slaughter, the CEO of New America
The pandemic has demonstrated conclusively that the U.S. government is not an indispensable player in global affairs. The outgoing Trump administration pulled the United States out of the World Health Organization (WHO), refused to join the 172-nation COVAX partnership to ensure equitable global access to a vaccine, and abdicated responsibility for addressing the pandemic at home to U.S. states and cities. Americans are paying the price—but the rest of the world has moved on.
The biggest surprise of the pandemic is the dramatic decoupling of the economy of the rich from the economy of everyone else.
It is U.S. philanthropic and civic organizations, companies, and universities that are indispensable. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation helped organize Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, both key partners to the European Union and WHO in pandemic-fighting efforts such as COVAX. U.S. pharmaceutical companies are critical to developing, manufacturing, and distributing a vaccine—with or without U.S. government help—even as European companies are also making fast progress. U.S. scientists, doctors, and epidemiologists play vital roles in global networks by sharing information about the virus as well as successful strategies for prevention and treatment.
The biggest surprise of the pandemic is the dramatic national and global decoupling of the economy of the rich from the economy of everyone else. COVID-19 has caused more than a million deaths worldwide and created an economic disaster for wage earners and small businesses. Yet financial markets show little damage—on the contrary, asset values are reaching ever loftier heights. Gaps like that sow the seeds of revolution.
Globalization is rapidly shifting
Laurie Garrett, a science writer and a columnist at Foreign Policy
Given inevitable delays in rolling out vaccines, the coronavirus isn't going to vanish soon. That's why the pandemic will continue to rapidly alter the landscapes of globalization and manufacturing.
More than a quarter of Fortune 500 CEOs predict that their workforces will not regain their pre-pandemic sizes.
Half of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies don't plan to restore business travel to 2019 levels. More than a quarter predict that their workforces will not regain their pre-pandemic sizes. Eight in 10 say that nationalism will become a dominant force in the countries where they operate, affecting supply chains, location decisions, and the regulatory climate. And most are convinced that a faster shift to robots and artificial intelligence will help insulate them against future workforce sickouts and epidemic shocks. Even if revenues have recovered for many companies, the mood in boardrooms remains dark.
Most companies and government purchasers still haven't worked out the production and supply kinks in our pandemic era. They will diversify suppliers to be less dependent on one country such as China and build stockpiles against future disruptions. Companies and governments will move away from the long-term relationships and trade deals that sustained globalization toward less stable commitments that can be made—and broken—in rapid response to future outbreaks and black swan events.
There will be losers. The dire economic consequences of the pandemic have left millions of people bitter, resentful, and likely to blame foreign competitors for their plights. Global health and humanitarian institutions are being severely challenged by rising nationalism and difficulties in raising financial support. As a result, one long-term effect of this pandemic may be that it has made the world less resilient for the next one.
The competent Asian century
Kishore Mahbubani, a distinguished fellow at the National University of Singapore's Asia Research Institute
Numbers don't lie. The death rate from COVID-19 is lower in East and Southeast Asia. Just compare Vietnam (0.4 deaths per million people), China (3), Singapore (5), South Korea (10), and Japan (17) with Belgium (1,446), Spain (979), Britain (877), the United States (840), and Italy (944).
A complacent West just assumed that it would succeed in this battle.
The numbers are the tip of the iceberg. Behind them lies the much bigger story of the shift of competence from West to East. Western societies were once known for their respect for science and rationality. Donald Trump has literally pulled the mask off that illusion. Asians gape at his maskless supporters.
The West was also known for good governance, especially the European Union. The strong second wave of the pandemic confirms that something has gone wrong. But what went wrong? One simple answer is complacency. The West just assumed that it would succeed in this battle. From their previous experience with virus epidemics such as SARS, East and Southeast Asian societies knew that they had to be tough, vigilant, and disciplined. One critical variable is respect for government. Fortunately, these societies never fell for the Reaganite delusion that "government is the problem." Instead, they see government as the solution. Hence, both the tightly disciplined society of Vietnam and the politically troubled one of Thailand have brought COVID-19 under control. Strong government institutions, especially in the health and medical fields, have responded with competence. And the East Asian economies are also likely to bounce back faster, reflecting competence in economic management.
When future historians look for the start of the Asian Century, they may well point to COVID-19 as the moment when Asian competence resurfaced in strength.
A new era of state activism
Shannon K. O'Neil, vice president, deputy director of studies, and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations
The next phase of globalization won't be shaped by trade, investment, or the spread of viruses but by geopolitics and government activism. Global supply chains have largely recovered from the sharp economic shocks—which curtailed both supply and demand—as a result of the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns last spring. But they now face a more lasting challenge from state action. The hardening of U.S.-Chinese political tensions and the decoupling of the two countries' industrial sectors will continue.
Smart industrial policies are needed to tackle problems that markets will not resolve on their own.
The weaponization of economic and financial power for geopolitical gain by means of boycotts, sanctions, and other restrictions is catching on. As the global economy struggles to recover from the pandemic, governments across the world are jumping into the economic fray with their efforts to influence and direct investments, spur industrial innovation, manage and defend national security in a digital world, and shape national economies using all manner of policy tools.
Smart industrial policies are needed to tackle problems that markets will not resolve on their own, such as climate change, and to level the playing field between countries by tearing down regulatory and other barriers with comprehensive trade and other multilateral agreements. But all this state activism threatens to increase the kind of heavy-handed protectionism that deepens divisions between countries, fragments supply chains, and suppresses global innovation and growth. The challenge facing the world's leaders is to intervene in smart ways that maintain and encourage competition and openness.
Authoritarians look worse now
Stephen M. Walt, professor of international relations at the Harvard Kennedy School
As expected, COVID-19 has accelerated the shift in power from West to East and put further limits on globalization, leading to a world less open and prosperous. But the pandemic has not ended traditional geopolitics or national rivalries, nor did it usher in a new era of global cooperation.
Populists have lost ground and autocrats are under greater pressure after mishandling the pandemic.
While China is recovering, the United States and much of Europe face further waves of infections, largely because leaders failed to respond promptly and effectively. This pattern does not vindicate authoritarian rule, as Beijing and its admirers would have us believe. Democratic Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan all performed well, while Russia, Iran, and many other dictatorships faltered.
Globalization is in reverse, and international cooperation to defeat the pandemic has been halfhearted at best. The pandemic did not prevent new clashes between India and China, and it did not bring the bloodletting in Syria or Yemen to a close. The rivalry between the United States and China continues to intensify.
The good news? Widespread worries—including my own—that authoritarians, populists, and would-be autocrats would use the emergency to consolidate power have not been borne out. Populists have lost ground in Austria, Britain, and Germany; Poland's Law and Justice party is facing new opposition; and autocrats such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban are under greater pressure after mishandling the pandemic. Most important of all: The über-populist Donald Trump is now a one-term president.
That, too, is a reason for hope. With resolution, face masks, and the rollout of vaccines, we will get through this.
No, this was not a turning point
Richard N. Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations
Surprisingly, there has been no correlation between a country's political system and its performance in handling the pandemic. Some democracies and authoritarian systems have fared well, others miserably. What matters most is leadership and execution. Here the terrible record of the United States shocks. So much of the loss was avoidable.
For all the pandemic's enormous costs and consequences, little has occurred that cannot be largely reversed.
The pandemic has deepened the U.S.-China rift and stimulated a rethinking of supply chains. Europe looks stronger now that Germany and France are working together and both the European Central Bank and the European Commission have carved out a larger writ. By eviscerating economic growth and forcing countries to enact fiscal stimulus on an unprecedented scale, the pandemic has led to a stunning increase in debt throughout the world.
The greatest political impact might be in the United States, where an inept federal response to the pandemic and its economic effects contributed significantly to President Donald Trump's election defeat. Had there been no pandemic, or had it been met with only a modicum of skill, Trump might well have won—and set the country on a vastly different course at home and abroad.
More broadly and for all the pandemic's enormous costs and consequences, little has occurred that cannot be largely reversed once responsible behaviors are followed and widespread testing, better therapeutics, and effective vaccines are introduced. Other challenges—from climate change to nuclear proliferation to great-power rivalry—are more likely to define this era. For its part, the pandemic will not fundamentally reshape international relations and is more likely to be seen in retrospect as a singular event rather than a turning point.
Free economies will rebound
Kori Schake, the director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute
The most consequential changes will be economic. Inequality will widen as those with access to health care, capital reserves, and jobs that can be done remotely are further advantaged. Supply chains will be renationalized—or at least, the experience of severe interruption will lead companies to create backup capacity and rethink location decisions. Demand for raw materials will decline as economies stall. As globalization slows, the profitability of China's Belt and Road project will collapse. Rapidly innovating economies that can seize opportunities and shift labor will reap outsized rewards.
Rising powers are likely to stall, while free-world economies are positioned to dominate new fields.
These changes have major consequences for international security. The costs of the pandemic are so enormous that they will greatly incentivize international cooperation to identify and manage future pandemics. Government budgets will shift spending from defense to public health as the latter becomes an integral part of national security. Tensions within states due to greater income inequality will turn attention inward; states that manage to redress inequality will broaden social cohesion and their economic base. Security alliances such as NATO are likely to take on economic objectives, such as the reliability of supplies, but the push for better burden-sharing is also set to intensify.
Rising powers are likely to stall, while free-world economies are positioned to rebound and dominate new fields. China is already the world's biggest creditor and is aggressively seeking preferential repayment from debtor governments, which could lead many of them to appeal for protection. This could give the United States a huge opportunity to contain China and organize allies within the existing Western system of multilateral institutions.
A world dividing into bubbles
Shivshankar Menon, a distinguished fellow at Brookings India and former national security advisor to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
In 2020, the world blew its chance to make an opportunity of the crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It failed to act together and revive multilateralism. Most governments failed to strengthen the bonds of trust between citizens and their state, relying instead on tighter controls, surveillance, and authoritarianism. And several of the most democratic and advanced countries spectacularly failed to protect their citizens' health and lives.
The pandemic accelerated the attempt to fragment the global economy.
Instead, the pandemic accelerated the attempt to fragment the global economy into self-reliant "bubbles," an attempt that is unlikely to succeed but will likely impoverish us all by limiting growth. Relations among the great powers are more fraught than ever, including those between China and the United States and between China and India.
Judging by the poor performance of world leaders and international organizations so far, the pandemic has also left the world less able to face the future and deal with transnational issues that affect us all—such as climate change, future pandemics, cybersecurity, maritime security, and international terrorism.
China emerges turbocharged
Robin Niblett, the director and chief executive of Chatham House
The Chinese Communist Party's disciplined suppression of the coronavirus has enabled China to recover its former pace of economic growth and turbocharged its transition to become the world's largest economy. With China's neighbors also emerging quickly from the pandemic, East Asia has become the epicenter of global economic growth.
The CCP's disciplined suppression of the coronavirus has turbocharged China's transition to become the world's largest economy.
US President Donald Trump's undisciplined efforts to undercut China's emergence as a technological superpower have simply accelerated its quest for technological self-sufficiency. In contrast to Trump's failed go-it-alone approach, President-elect Joe Biden may enable the United States to rebuild its bilateral and alliance relationships to confront China's rise. But it is now too late for the liberal democracies to set the terms for how China develops its economic power.
Japan, South Korea, the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and even Australia may continue to turn to the United States to guarantee their security. But they cannot afford to join it in undermining the Chinese economy, on which they rely for their own economic futures. The United States and Europe, meanwhile, will spend the next five years focused on managing the fallout from the pandemic on their economies and societies.
Until the Chinese leadership experiences the downsides of its statist and authoritarian model and sets China on a new path, the North Atlantic and Asia-
Pacific worlds will continue to diverge.
No government can cope alone
Joseph S. Nye, Jr., a professor emeritus at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Globalization, or interdependence across continents, responds to changes in transportation and communication technology. COVID-19 has only transformed the shape—less travel, more virtual meetings—rather than the magnitude of globalization.
COVID-19 has only transformed the shape—less travel, more virtual meetings—rather than the magnitude of globalization.
Some aspects of economic globalization, such as trade, have been curtailed, but that is less true of others, such as finance. Some industrial supply chains are becoming more regionalized, and security concerns are leading companies and governments to place a higher priority on "just in case" rather than "just in time." But unlike true disruptions such as war, these adjustments are unlikely to fundamentally change global supply chains or international trade. Even if they did, they could not unravel the world's increasing ecological interdependence.
While economic globalization is influenced by governments, ecological aspects of globalization such as climate change and the spread of pandemics are determined by the laws of physics and biology. Walls and tariffs do not stop transnational global ecological threats, though barriers to travel and persistent economic stagnation may slow them down somewhat. No government can cope alone but must think in terms of power with others as well as power over others. I had not expected that so many countries would be so inept in their response—and so slow to learn.
A Jekyll-Hyde world
G. John Ikenberry, a professor at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs
The COVID-19 pandemic will have a lasting impact on our global imaginaries—our visions of the 21st-century world. The pandemic has made us see more clearly our fraught common existence, the lurking dangers inherent in interdependence, the costs of failed international cooperation, the virtues of competent government, the fragility of democratic institutions, the precariousness of Enlightenment-era civilization, and the inescapable fact of humanity's common fate.
The pandemic offers a dramatic reminder that humans have not fully mastered nature and cannot escape their growing interconnectedness.
A year into the pandemic, it is not the problems of the world's underlying anarchy—nationalism, security competition, war—that appear most pressing. Rather, the world seems more overwhelmed by the problems of modernity—our stumbling incapacities to cope with the deep, worldwide transformations in our societies unleashed by the forces of science, technology, and industrialism. The pandemic offers a dramatic reminder, now playing out in every corner of the Earth, that humans have not fully mastered nature and that we cannot escape the growing interconnectedness inherent in our modern existence.
The pandemic is a reminder that modernity is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde phenomenon: The modern world is continually creating capacities for great advances in human welfare but also for monumental disaster and civilizational catastrophe. The pandemic—together with the growing existential threats of climate change and nuclear proliferation—will lead us to a new era of struggle over the global order in which countries around the world look for ways to realize the gains of modernity while guarding against its dangers.

Notice of Change Regarding Institutional Eligibility for PAR-19-134 and PAR-19-135 "Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools"
Notice Number: NOT-DE-20-019
NOT-DE-19-013 – Rescinded
NOT-NR-19-010 - Rescinded
National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)
The purpose of this Notice is to provide potential applicants clarifications regarding eligibility information for:
PAR-19-134, Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools (R15 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) and PAR-19-135?, Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools (R15 Clinical Trial Required). Specifically, the changes pertain to determinations of institutional eligibility for submitting R15 REAP applications and for receiving R15 REAP awards.
Implementation Timeline
This notice is effective upon its release date and supersedes the prior Notice of Interest on Institutional Eligibility for the R15 REAP Program (NOT-DE-19-013), and the current language in existing funding opportunity announcements (FOAs).
Accordingly, the text in several specified sections of the funding opportunity announcement is modified as follows:
Part 1. Funding Opportunity Purpose, second paragraph.
Currently reads:
Eligible institutions (e.g., the university or college) must award NIH-relevant baccalaureate or advanced degrees in health professions or advanced degrees in biomedical or behavioral sciences and have received less than $6 million per year of NIH support (total costs) in 4 of the last 7 fiscal years. In this FOA a college is a stand-alone entity and not a component of a university system
Modified to read:
Eligible institutions (e.g., the university or college with a unique identifier number (such as DUNS) and a unique NIH Institutional Profile File (IPF) number)) must award NIH-relevant baccalaureate or advanced degrees in health professions and have received no more than $6 million per year of NIH support (in both direct and F&A/indirect costs) in 4 of the last 7 fiscal years. For institutions composed of multiple schools and colleges, the $6 million funding limit is based on the amount of NIH funding received by the institution as a whole (meaning all schools and colleges within an institution). In other words, the funding for all the institution's health professional schools, graduate schools, and colleges and all the institution's non-health professional schools and colleges that are part of the institution are considered together and summed as total NIH funding when determining institutional eligibility.
For institutions with multiple campuses, eligibility can be considered for each individual campus (e.g. main, satellite, etc.) only if a unique identifier number or NIH IPF number is established for each campus. For institutions that use one identifier number or NIH IPF number for all campuses, eligibility is determined for all campuses (e.g. main, satellite, etc.) together.
Part II, Section I, Funding Opportunity Description, first paragraph, last two sentences
In this FOA a college is a stand-alone entity and not a component of a university system. This new program is called the Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools.
This new program is called the Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools.
Part II, Section III. Eligibility Information, 1. Eligible Applicants, Subsection under Eligible Organizations
In addition, all organizations must meet the following two criteria at the time of submission:
The applicant organization must be an accredited public or non-profit private school that grants baccalaureate or advanced degrees in health professions (see section below for more details) or advanced degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences.
The applicant institution may not have received research support from the NIH totaling more than $6 million per year (in both direct and F&A/indirect costs) in 4 of the last 7 years (see Section I. Funding Opportunity Description for definition of "institution"). A year is defined as a federal fiscal year: from October 1 through September 30.
Note that all activity codes are included in this calculation except the following: C06, S10, and all activity codes starting with a G.
The applicant institution may not have received research support from the NIH totaling more than $6 million per year (in both direct and F&A/indirect costs) in 4 of the last 7 years. A year is defined as a federal fiscal year: from October 1 through September 30. For institutions composed of multiple schools and colleges, the $6 million funding limit is based on the amount of NIH funding received by the institution as a whole (meaning all schools and colleges within an institution). In other words, the funding for all the institution's health professional schools, graduate schools, and colleges and all the institution's non-health professional schools and colleges that are part of the institution are considered together and summed as total NIH funding when determining institutional eligibility.
All other aspects of PAR-19-134 and PAR-19-135 remain unchanged.
Please direct all inquiries to:
Alicia Dombroski, Ph.D.
Director, Division of Extramural Activities
adombroski@mail.nih.gov
Or the Scientific/Research Contact person and/or the Financial/Grants Management Contact person for another participating NIH institute or center (as listed in Section VII of PAR-19-134) that you want to consider your application.

Beer of Blood and Honey made by Revolver Brewing in Granbury, Texas, Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016.
Beer and baseball are unabashed partners, and in a couple years when the Texas Rangers open their new $250 million entertainment and dining complex, fans will be able to get craft beer brewed onsite.
Granbury-based Revolver Brewing will open a second facility at Texas Live!, the baseball team's forthcoming entertainment district across the street from the ballpark, according to an announcement Wednesday.
While we don't know the size of the brewery, a press release promises it will brew flagship brands like the Blood and Honey wheat ale, which was lauded by Samuel Adams' creator as "damn good," alongside other recipes specially for Texas Live! crowds.
"The Revolver Brewing family is proud to be a part of such an amazing entertainment project," said Rhett Keisler, co-founder of Revolver, in a statement. "Our brand is inspired by great ingredients, as well as great music, and is a perfect fit for Texas Live!. We are thrilled to bring Revolver Brewing to Texas Live! and we look forward to crafting unique beers for the project."
Revolver joins other high-profile entertainment concepts, including a 35,000-square-foot restaurant and venue called Live! Arena, an almost equally as large sports bar called Rangers Republic, an outdoor pavilion called the Arlington Backyard and a proprietary restaurant from TV personality Guy Fieri.
Texas Live! was slated to begin construction the last week of October, according to Dallas Morning News reporter Jeff Mosier. The project, which encompasses 200,000-square-feet of real estate adjacent to where the new stadium may be built, is expected to open in spring 2018.
The Texas Live! announcement comes months after Revolver Brewing inked a deal with beverage giant MillerCoors, which now owns a majority stake in the local brewer. Keisler said the partnership would allow Revolver to expand its footprint statewide, but the move with the Texas Rangers undoubtedly helps it gain a stronger local foothold, too.
Revolver Brewing is one of D-FW's largest breweries, producing 21,960 barrels of beer in 2015, according to the Brewers Association. Requests for comment from MillerCoors about the Texas Live! project were not immediately answered.

Фрэнсис Уильям Рейц-младший (, Свеллендам — , Кейптаун) — бурский и южно-африканский политик, писатель, поэт. Предпоследний президент Оранжевого Свободного Государства и последний государственный секретарь Трансвааля.

Семья
Фрэнсис Уильям Рейц-младший был седьмым из двенадцати детей Фрэнсиса Уильяма Рейца-старшего, фермера и политика, и Корнелии Магдалены Денейс. Сам Фрэнсис Уильям-младший был женат дважды. В 1874 году он вступил в брак с 19-летней иммигрировавшей норвежкой Бланкой Тесен, сестрой известного промышленника Карла Вильхельма Тесена. У них родились семеро сыновей и одна дочь, до того как Бланка не умерла в 1887 году. Через 2 года Рейц женился на нидерландке Корнелии Марии Терезии Мулдер, 25-летней директрисе школы для девочек в Блумфонтейне. Она родила мужу 6 мальчиков и одну девочку и пережила мужа на полгода. Из детей Рейца-младшего известности добился Денейс Рейц, так же как и отец ставший юристом и политиком, а также военным.

Образование
Фрэнсис Уильям-младший вырос на семейной ферме Реностерфонтейн в Капской колонии и воспитывался гувернанткой. В девятилетнем возрасте Рейц пошёл в школу Рондебосха. Там он достиг больших успехов и в 1857 году поступил в Южно-Африканский колледж. Также отлично проявив себя в учёбе, особенно в правовых дисциплинах, Рейц закончил его на уровне бакалавра в 1863 году. Он продолжил изучать право в Южно-Африканском колледже под руководством профессора Ватермейера, но тот вскоре умер. Тогда Рейц, вопреки воле отца, отправился учиться в Лондон, где поступил в Иннер-Темпл. В июне 1867 года он успешно сдал там экзамен на барристера.

The rules for #DarsanaPrime are now live. You can find them at ingress.com/events/anomaly-rules and you can still register for the XM Anomaly!
Agents in each faction are competing for one of two Darsana Lenses (one each weekend). Over three hours, the factions will be competing in four simultaneous competitions. As an agent, you will be able to participate in any of these areas, but you may do best to focus on one.
The Darsana Lenses are oracular lenses: you see a vision of the future, and you see a path to reach it -- an invisible map to the future you see when you look through the lens. Possession of a Darsana Lens will benefit your faction in Abaddon Prime, and help determine the ultimate fate of the Osiris Universe.
All agents participating in the anomaly will be recognized by the NIA with an in-scanner badge, and will receive double AP for their actions during the anomaly. There will also be a global AP multiplier during the entire anomaly period, so participants will receive a total of 3x AP.
All portals within the Anomaly Zone will be ornamented during the anomaly. Portals within the Anomaly Zone will become neutral shortly before the anomaly (approximately 1-2 hours before). This will not change the inoculation period.
During the anomaly, fields over the Anomaly Zone may spontaneously de-materialize when detected. This includes fields which cover a large part of the Anomaly Zone, even if they do not cover the entire Anomaly Zone. Links which partially or completely cross the Anomaly Zone may also de-materialize, especially if either end is outside the Anomaly Zone.
The anomaly will run for three hours. Three competi- tions are running simultaneously over the entire anomaly period, with multiple measurement points and shifting portal roles. One overlay will also be running over the entire anomaly period, and scored once at the end.
Agents are trying to capture Anomaly Zone portals and control them. The Faction with more portals wins.
Details: All Anomaly Zone portals will be in play. A portion of Anomaly Zone portals will be "volatile", and worth 2 extra points for capture (for a total of 3). Volatile portals will be ornamented as below. Which portals are volatile will change during the anomaly.
There will be nine measurement points: 2 in the first hour, 3 in the second, and 4 in the third. These will happen at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 80 minutes, 100 minutes, 120 minutes, 135 minutes, 150 minutes, 165 minutes, and 180 minutes after the start.
A faction's raw score at a measurement is the number of Anomaly Zone portals they control, plus the extra points for their controlled volatile portals. A Faction's raw score at the end of the anomaly is the highest score they achieved at any measurement.
Agents are trying to create a long path of links from one of their faction's start portals, up to 8 links long. The subsequent links in a path will be more valuable, and longer links are more valuable. The faction with the highest scoring path wins.
Details: Agents are competing to create the longest continuous path of up to 8 links from one of their Faction's start portals. There are several portals marked as "start portals", each identified with one faction; which portals are start portals will change during the anomaly. They will be ornamented as below. An Exponential Path must start from a start portal, and will only be followed to other anomalous zone portals (links to off limit portals or portals outside the anomalous zone will not be counted), and cannot loop (links to portals already included in the path will not be counted).
The first link in a path is counted as its length, in km; the second is 2x the length in km; third is 3x, and so on up to 8x. A faction's raw score at a measurement is the total weighted score of their single longest path from any of their start portals (1x first link length + 2x second link length + 3x third link length + 4x fourth link length + 5x fifth link length + 6x sixth link length + 7x seventh link length + 8x eighth link length).
minutes, 120 minutes, 135 minutes, 150 minutes, 165 minutes, and 180 minutes after the start.
A faction's raw score at the end of the anomaly is the highest score they achieved at any measurement.
Agents are trying to collect Artifact media items, hacking them out of ornamented Portals and trading them to collect full Sets. The Faction with more complete Sets wins.
Details: Various portals in the anomaly zone will briefly become active and drop Artifact media items; while active, they will be ornamented as below. This active period may be as short as a few minutes. Each Artifact belongs to a Set of Artifacts. There will be multiple Sets and multiple copies of each Set. For example, one Set might include Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omega Artifacts; and another might include Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Blue Artifacts. Which portals drop artifacts will change, and what Artifacts they drop will also change.
A Faction's raw score is the number of distinct full Sets held by its Agents at the end of the anomaly (the measurement time for an individual agent could lag by up to an hour after the end, however, so Agents should hold onto their Artifacts until well after the anomaly ends). If an Agent holds multiple copies of the same full Set, it will only be counted once.
For each Faction, the highest and lowest 15% will be removed, and from the remaining Agents, the Faction with the higher average will win the competition, gaining 75 points towards the overall anomaly score.
The raw scores for the three competitions are each scaled to sum to 100 total points for each competition. These scaled scores for each faction are added to 75 points for the overlay, winner-take-all, to create a total score for the anomaly in that city. The faction with the higher total score wins the anomaly in that city and gains 1 victory point towards the weekend's victory.
The Anomaly Zone portals will have the following indicators of their type. Anomaly Zone portals with no other role will have the grey circle as indicated. Volatile Portals for the Portal Capture will have the orange hexagon. Portals which are actively dropping Artifacts will have the teal square. Start Portals for the Longest Path will have triangles, fuchsia for Resistance and yellow for Enlightened. All Anomaly Zone Portals will have an ornament of some kind during the three hour anomaly competition.
From the beginning of the APAC anomaly to the end of the AMER anomaly, all agents globally receive 1.5x AP. For all registered and checked-in agents, for the three hours of their local anomaly they will have a further 2x AP multiplier, for a total of 3x during their three hour anomaly. Bonus AP for registered and checked-in agents will be provided after the anomaly, within a week of the anomaly end (it will be automatically added to their scanner, and they will receive an email with the amount).
At each anomaly site, participants will have their Unique Portal Hacks and AP gained measured through the course of the anomaly. This will be posted on a public leader board, and each Agent's individual leader board performance will be sent to them. The highest performing agents from each site will be recognized in Ingress media channels.
There will be a Global Challenge occurring during the anomaly weekend. From the beginning of the first anomaly to the end of the last anomaly during a weekend, the number of distinct portals captured by each Faction will be counted. If a portal is recaptured during this period, it will be counted only once per Faction. Whichever Faction captures the most portals during this period will win the Global Challenge, and receive 1 or 2 victory points (2 for the February 23rd weekend, 1 for the March 23rd weekend) A Faction's score for the weekend is 1 victory point for each city it won, plus the Global Challenge victory points. The Faction with the higher score wins the Darsana Lens for that weekend.
