Q: Julia: Broadcasting for 2 Dimensional Array based on each element's indices I have a 1920 by 1080 array canvas with each element acting as a pixel, with default value RGB(0, 0, 0), for an image.
What my program (a very simple raytracer) currently does is:

*

*Use the index of each "pixel" to get the corresponding position on the camera frame

*store the ray from the center of the camera to that position as a three-dimensional vector

*find the closest object that the ray intersects with

*set the value of that pixel to match the color of that object (which again require the indices of that pixel)

The full code is too large to share, but most of the code relevant to the question is as follows:
world = World(RGB(0, 0, 0), 5e-6, objects, lights, 0.2, 4)
camera = Camera((0, -5000, -5000), 1000, (0, 0, 0), 1920, 1080)
canvas = CUDA.fill(world.background, camera.height, camera.width)

for i in 1:camera.width
    for j in 1:camera.height
        ray = [([i, j] - [camera.width / 2, camera.height / 2])..., camera.depth]

        (ray[2], ray[3]) = (cos(camera.rotation[1] + atan(ray[3], ray[2])), sin(camera.rotation[1] + atan(ray[3], ray[2]))) .* sqrt(ray[2]^2 + ray[3]^2)
        (ray[1], ray[3]) = (cos(camera.rotation[2] + atan(ray[3], ray[1])), sin(camera.rotation[2] + atan(ray[3], ray[1]))) .* sqrt(ray[1]^2 + ray[3]^2)
        (ray[1], ray[2]) = (cos(camera.rotation[3] + atan(ray[2], ray[1])), sin(camera.rotation[3] + atan(ray[2], ray[1]))) .* sqrt(ray[2]^2 + ray[1]^2)

        v = (Inf, nothing, nothing)

        for object in world.objects
            # traceray returns a tuple containing the distance of the point of intersection, and the normal to the surface at that point if the ray intersects the object, or nothing otherwise
            t = traceray(ray, camera.position, object, mindistance=camera.depth)
            t !== nothing && t[1] < v[1] && (v = (t[1], t[2], object))
        end

        # computecolor gets the color of the object based on lighting etc.
        v[1] != Inf && (canvas[j, i] = computecolor(v[3].material, ray, v[1], v[2], world, camera.position .+ v[1] * ray, v[3]))
    end
end

Currently, I do this by using nested for loops to loop over all the indices. However, I wanted to improve performance by using CUDA.jl. I would like to avoid writing a GPU kernel and make do with Array Programming, if possible. However, in that case, indexing over the array is not possible since scalar indexing has to be avoided, and from what it seems to me, broadcasting over an array is the preferred method.
From my understanding, a broadcasted function can return a value based on the elements' value (in this case RGB(0, 0, 0)) and not the indices (which is what I require to compute the color).
Is there any way to have a function that wraps the steps mentioned above receive the indices of the element it is acting upon via broadcasting or any alternative method that achieves what I want?
PS: I did look into Computing array values based on their index using Julia Broadcasting in julia but that approach alters only a row (which is a vector by itself), and the expression is quite simple, and I could not get something similar working for a matrix and the large number of statements my program uses.

A: Let's first create a matrix and get its CartesianIndices:

julia> ind = CartesianIndices(M)
10×10 CartesianIndices{2, Tuple{Base.OneTo{Int64}, Base.OneTo{Int64}}}:
 CartesianIndex(1, 1)   CartesianIndex(1, 2)   …  CartesianIndex(1, 9)   CartesianIndex(1, 10)

Now let's define a function that will take a CartesianIndex and an element:
f(I::CartesianIndex, m::Float64) = I[1] + I[2] + m

We can then apply our new function to ind and M:

When your training is going well, it seems as if life goes well with it.
There's nothing better than waking up, ready to tackle the day ahead and destroy your workout in the process.
The problem is that for some of us, when we wake up we feel tired, sluggish, unmotivated, and unenergized.
That's why we're looking at how to choose a pre workout supplement today.
Pre workout supplements are designed to be consumed before you train – hence the name.
They typically contain stimulants and ingredients designed to wake you up, motivate you, energize you, and promote athletic performance.
They are hugely popular supplements, and that can sometimes be a problem.
As they're so popular, more and more companies want in on the action.
Sadly some supplement companies are less professional than others, and unfortunately their products reflect this.
When in comes down to how to choose a pre workout supplement, you want one that is right for you.
Here's a look at how to pick the perfect supplement for before training.
First and foremost, when it comes to pre-workout supplements, there aren't many out there that don't contain caffeine as the primary ingredient.
The idea behind a pre-workout supplement is that it should fire you up and energize you when you're tired or just looking for more energy than you're used to.
They provide this boost in physical and mental energy in the form of caffeine, which is a powerful natural stimulant.
Caffeine provides a temporary increase in energy levels, but it isn't to be abused.
Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others, and if you are sensitive then you need to be extremely careful.
Those sensitive to caffeine will often experience trouble sleeping, mood swings, headache, nausea, and shaking when the stimulant is in their system.
If you are sensitive to caffeine then there are stimulant-free pre-workout supplements available, so they may also be worth considering.
Sticking with the caffeine theme, when the time comes for you to train, around 45 minutes before you hit the gym, it is recommended that you take your pre-workout supplement to give it enough time to kick in.
Now, the supplement and the stimulants it contains will not stay in your system all day, so if you train early in the morning and take the supp early in the morning, come bedtime you should be fine.
If you train in the evening however, taking a pre-workout supplement could keep you up at night until the stimulants eventually leave your system and allow you to sleep.
Sleep is very important when it comes to performance and recovery, and if you aren't getting enough sleep then your body won't recover to the best of its abilities.
We all exercise and work out for different reasons, and this should therefore be reflected in the pre workout supplement that you take.
For example, if you are exercising with endurance-based goals in mind, stimulant-based pre-workout supplements may be recommended.
If however, you are training with strength and muscle building in mind, you can go with muscle building pre-workout supplements instead.
These are very similar to the stimulant-based supplements, except for the fact that many of them contain less potent dosages of stims and instead place an emphasis on ingredients proven to increase muscle strength and performance such as creatine and other amino acids.
In terms of how to choose a pre workout supplement, another very important thing to consider is the ingredients which are found in the product.
You can also resort to the best diet pills, as these are often rich in fiber and other beneficial substances.
Not only do you need to know what they are, you also need to know what they do.
Here it is advisable to understand what you want to get from your training.
For energy for example, you have caffeine and taurine, which also provides mental health benefits.
As mentioned on the top pre workout reviews, for athletic performance, vascularity, and muscle pumps you have Nitric Oxide because it dilates the blood vessels and increases circulation.
For strength and endurance you want things like beta-alanine, BCAAs, and creatine.
Glycerol is another ingredient that works very well when it comes to muscle pumps, as it helps increase muscle cell volume.
Each pre workout formula is of course different, but those are some typical pre workout staples that you should ideally be on the lookout for.
Taste is something that is often overlooked when it comes to pre-workout supplementation, and that's a real shame.
When you drink a product, you should enjoy it, not pinch your nose and chug it down as quickly as possible, trying not to gag because you hate the taste.
Make use of sample packs and see which flavours you enjoy.
Typically, you can expect flavours like: tropical punch, lemon lime, raspberry, cherry, mixed berry, and so on.
If you like your fruity flavours, you'll be spoilt for choice, no matter which brand you happen to go with.
Remember, as we're looking at how to choose a pre workout supplement, we need to emphasize safety.
These supplements contain powerful stimulants and ingredients which, if used incorrectly or recklessly, have been known to be fatal on more than one occasion.
If you have blood pressure issues or heart issues, then stimulant-based formulas are off the table right away.
You should also use them as instructed and perhaps begin with just 1 scoop to assess your tolerance.
Never consume more than the recommended dosage and never mix with a pre-workout with another energy drink or other stimulatory products.


These are gorgeous, I love the colours you have captured! I would love to visit NZ one day.
Thanks Charlotte, I'm glad you like the photos. New Zealand is definitely worth a visit (or two)!
can't wait to see your film captures :) these are already so beautiful!
Aw, thanks! It's because the places I visited were beautiful :) Actually I'm worried that the film scans won't look as nice, because I edit my iPhone photos but not my film shots, ha. We'll see.
It was pretty safe, none of the volcanoes were active when I was there :) More photos coming soon!

Meet the experienced and friendly doctor and staff who make Barrios Vision the leading provider of vision care products and services in Green Brook.
Dr. Barrios has lived most of his life in NJ and is happy to serve all of its communities in eye health and vision care needs.
He graduated The Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 2007. As part of a scholarship agreement, he immediately served the US Air Force and cared for active duty troops, retired veterans and their families. He had a wonderful military experience before returning to civilian life. He will always remain humbled by the sacrifices made by our troops in order to preserve our American way of life.
After a couple of years as an "exam only" provider, leasing exam space within a large commercial retailer, Dr. Barrios decided he wanted to have more control over the quality of eyewear offered to his patients. To do that, he believed he would have to open his own optical business.
Early 2014, the opportunity arose for Dr. Barrios to fulfill this desire. Barrios Vision has since opened its doors to serve Green Brook Township and all surrounding communities in Somerset County and beyond. Our optical shop features selections for everyone in the household. As a therapeutic optometrist certified to prescribe oral medications, Dr. Barrios is the primary eye care source for the whole family. He also participates in the InfantSEE program and, therefore, accepts patients as young as 6 months of age.
New to this area of New Jersey, he is looking forward to meeting everyone very soon. Book an appointment today!

Sitting inside MADE by DWC, the Downtown Women's Center's cheery and spacious cafe and gift boutique, you could almost forget that Skid Row is just outside. While the cafe can offer a respite from harsh reality, the whole point is to be aware of the tent-housed people lining the streets — because MADE by DWC exists to help and empower them.
The Downtown Women's Center began in 1978 out of a friendship between a homeless woman named Rosa and an outreach worker named Jill Halverson.
Since then, the original center on Los Angeles Street has expanded its services and opened a resale boutique that sells high-end donated items. A second Downtown Women's Center location was added a few blocks away on San Pedro Street, along with a cafe and gift boutique in 2011. The cafe serves homeless people, who may come inside for water and a rest, as well as people who work in the area.
All the proceeds from the cafe and boutiques go to Downtown Women's Center and its programs to help women transition out of homelessness. This includes permanent supportive housing — the two locations have 119 units for single adult women. DWC also has a community-based housing program where case managers throughout L.A. County connect women with housing outside of Skid Row. The center's health and wellness program includes three meals a day at the center and the only health clinic in the area for homeless women. The clinic addresses physical needs like primary care, STD and HIV testing, tuberculosis and cancer screenings, vaccinations and mammograms as well as mental health needs.
DWC's two locations serve about 4,000 women a year. Velouise says the average age of the women they see is 55. The 2018 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count showed that females make up 34 percent of the homeless Skid Row population, a 35 percent increase from 2017. The 62-and-over age group for homeless men and women increased by 5 percent during that time.
In partnership with the Los Angeles Regional Initiative for Social Enterprise (LA:RISE), DWC provides education and job training through MADE by DWC — the center's cafe, boutiques and handmade goods.
DWC's cafe and boutiques employ formerly homeless women who have gone through the center's programs. The goods they sell in the boutiques and online are made by women at the center and include stylish scented candles and soaps as well as one-of-a-kind journals made from old books. The women earn minimum wage to create goods or work at the boutiques and cafes, while also learning skills to hopefully help them for future employment.
"They are trained to work in a retail barista environment like this with the hope and intention that through this training they could go on to become employed at Starbucks or another cafe-type environment," Velouise says.
The women make all the hot, iced and blended coffee, tea and fruit drinks on site. Of course they have almond and soy milks and the coffee is organic. Chipotle pineapple tea and a passion fruit slush are among the more distinctive offerings. In honor of summer, the current special is an Arnold Palmer. Fake flower garland also hangs from the ceiling this time of year.
Reanna says she also appreciates the computer training on the cafe's register.
The cafe's full case of food includes several premade salads from Simply Salad, such as the popular Downtown Cobb ($8.95), the Seared Samurai with ahi tuna ($10.95) and the plant-based Earthy Nutty Crunchy with tofu, beets, edamame and artichoke hearts ($7.95).
Sandwiches and pastries are from Homeboy Bakery, part of downtown's Homeboy Industries, which helps gang members transition out of that lifestyle. Think staples such as tuna salad and turkey arugula sandwiches ($7.50 and $8.75) plus scones, croissants, bagels, muffins, coffee cake and big chocolate chip cookies ($1.75 to $3.25).
Happy hour is every Friday from 2 to 4 p.m.; coffee, tea and pastries are 30 percent off.

Sioux City Relays a no-go for the Wildcats
Inclement weather causes all sorts of delays for many track meets
DaQuan Samuel, Staff Writer
Wayne State track and field Head Coach Marlon Brink announced last Tuesday that the Wildcats would be competing at multiple meets instead of competing Saturday at the Sioux City Relays.
The 'Cats competed Wednesday at the South Dakota Invitational in Vermillion, South Dakota, with field, and the Wildcat throwers traveled to Kearney on Thursday for the UNK Invitational at Kearney High School. Other Wildcat athletes competed on Thursday and Friday at the Sioux City Relays, which was moved up two days, due to predicted bad weather.
"Anytime a meet gets changed to a different date your whole week of training for that week will almost always change," said senior Brady Metz. "It can be difficult but you just have to be ready for it and expect it especially with how the weather has been this spring so far."
The South Dakota Invitational meet attracted schools from three collegiate divisions: Division I teams South Dakota, South Dakota State and North Dakota State; Division II teams MSU Moorhead, Mary, Sioux Falls and St. Cloud State; and NAIA teams Mount Marty and Dickinson State.
Metz won the triple jump to lead the Wildcat men's outdoor track and field team Wednesday at the South Dakota Invitational with a leap of 14.50m.
"It's always good to see yourself at the top of the competition after a meet," said Metz.
Freshman Preston Davis finished third in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 55.35 seconds. Senior sprinter Braxton Adams came in seventh place in the 100-meter dash finishing in 10.83 seconds and was 10th in the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.80 seconds.
Sophomore Habib Jallow finished in 15.28 seconds for a seventh place finish in the 110-meter hurdles. Bryce Holcomb came in eighth in the 800-meter run, finishing in 2:00.25 with teammate Nathan Pearson right behind him for a 10th place finish with a time of 2:00.51. Jack Doughty took ninth in the 5,000-meter run finishing in 16:30.22.
Senior Mary Alderson took a fifth place finish in the 200-meter dash for the women's track athletes at the South Dakota Invitational with a time of 25.65 seconds. The quartet of Alderson, Sophie Noecker, Alyssa Kimpson and Joan Jelimo placed sixth in the 4 x 400 meter relay finishing in 4:03.09. Jelimo went on to finish 13th in the 800-meter dash with a time of 2:23.55.
The Wayne State throwers competed Thursday at the UNK Invite in Kearney. Senior throwers Michaela Dendinger and Kacie O'Connor hit NCAA qualifying marks in the discus to lead the way for the throwers.
"Being qualified in all my events takes a little pressure off," said Dendinger. "I'm able to focus on training and preparing for nationals the rest of the season. It will be a lot of heavy training and a lot of throws the extra reps will help work out the kinks before nationals."
Dendinger recorded a season-best mark of 53.33m in the discus to win first place which is also the second-best throw in NCAA Division II this season. O'Connor also posted a season-best throw of 47.61m to place third in the event and gives her the 15th best throw in the division this season.
Dendinger won the NSIC Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for the eighth straight week dating back to last outdoor season.
"It's a huge honor, there are a lot of great athletes in the NSIC and it's crazy that I've been picked that many times," said Dendinger.
Dendinger also recorded a first place finish in the shot put with a throw of 15.19m and was second in the hammer throw at 61.53m finishing only behind WSC alum Carly Fehringer who took first with a heave of 65.81m. Sophomore Tia Jones came in fifth place in the shot put throwing 13.49m while freshman Jadin Wagner was eighth with a throw of 12.73m. Freshman Kenzie Sullivan took eighth in the discus with 41.66m.
Redshirt freshman Cade Kalkowski led the men's throwers at the UNK Invite placing fifth in the hammer throw with a mark of 54.44m. Teammates Dylan Kaup, Matt Nemec and Richard Sweeney also placed in the top 10 in the hammer throw with Kaup finishing sixth with 53.42m, Nemec coming in seventh at 53.31m and Sweeney ninth with a throw of 52.36m. Jayle Hinkle recorded a seventh place finish in the shot put with a throw of 14.30m.
Wayne State's next scheduled meet is Friday and Saturday, at the Doane University Invite in Crete.

Eleven Years After
ByBrooks Alden	 September 7, 2012 January 15, 2016
Home / Current Writers / Eleven Years After
If you recall past articles penned by this editor, you might recall that the evil Esau Dominion reached its peak when it began its "Harvest Stage" on or around September 11th, 2001 (911) and from that moment on, our Israel countries have witnessed a huge loss of prestige and wealth, while Israelites themselves have had our freedoms curtailed and our lives and the lives of our children caught up in a bondage as never before experienced. Those who study the Scriptures, who have been blessed to learn their true identity, recognize we are in "the time of Jacob's trouble" as foretold by the prophet Jeremiah (30:7) and that it has accelerated to that "time of trouble such as never was " in our nation's existence, as pointed out by the prophet Daniel. (Dan. 12:1). The ironic thing is that most Israelites don't recognize our peril, they are too caught up trying to make a living and revelling in all the pleasures Esau and their collaborators provide to keep us pacified.
So, September 2012, eleven years later, and many are reflecting upon the changes to our nations, our daily lives and our futures. I don't think the effect of 911 could have been captured more succinctly than in the words of Pastor Charles Jennings, of "Truth in History" ministries. He wrote:
"Nine, one, one –Words that trigger a sudden mental flash-back to an event of tragedy, suffering and pain. Yet, since then, they are household words that are used by media and political propagandists to arouse pro-American feelings of pseudo-patriotism among the masses in justification for waging the age-long "rich man's game" called war.
Nine, one, one– Words that are more effective than 'Remember Pearl Harbor" or 'the Russians are coming' ever were in convincing freedom loving Americans to submit to government control and statism.
They are the 'holy" words of America's newest religion of arrogant militarism, yet the slogan for the national mindset of fear and uncertainty. The battle-cry for "imperial" expansion." (end of quote)
Reflecting on these words of Pastor Jennings, one cannot think of the Mid East wars that have proven so devastating to tens of thousands of young men and women, coming home in body bags or hospital beds; to families that will forever bear the scars; and generations who will never be able to repay the financial burden. The distribution of our wealth has wracked havoc on western economies, created untold miseries for millions and made strong the prime beneficiary countries, who the Bible tells us will someday join the confederation invading our Israel lands.
Still, there was an immediate glimmer of hope coming out of the tragedy of 911 and it was seen throughout North America in particular. Kent Purvis, the president of British-Israel-World Federation Canada described one such hopeful sign when he wrote:
"In Canada we saw a small community with little resources such as Gander, Newfoundland, show the greatness of our country by absorbing dozens of plane loads of international flyers into their homes and community, regardless of language, culture, or nationality. Gander did not have the hotel capacity for such an onslaught and the community rallied and welcomed these people into their homes. From coast to coast churches were filled to levels unseen in decades. [Unfortunately] these levels returned to previous levels within a month.
Looking back at the past eleven years since 911 we have seen an opportunity lost, not just in the United States, but in all the Israelite Nations. Meanwhile, both our nations [Canada and America] are carrying on worse federally, regionally, locally, and individually; and our nations are paying the price. Our repentance was short-lived and soon forgotten, to the point that prayer was not allowed at the New York City tenth anniversary memorial. How sad. And yet we wonder why we are where we are today." (end of quote)
Reading Mr. Purvis' comments I can't help but reflect on the Howard Rand quote included in the August, 2012 editorial, "The judgments of God in the destruction of our property and prosperity, and our population through storms, disasters [and wars] and disease have failed to turn the hearts of the people to their God." Or, at least more than temporarily! Sadly, for a real return to God, it would seem than a tragedy has to affect each and every one of us.
We often think that 911's effects were primarily visible in America but the tragedy had far reaching effects. One wonders whether Europe's current difficulties could be interlinked in any way. I asked two well known leaders in the Israel Truth movement for their thoughts on the "then" and "now" of 911.
Michael Clark, President of British-Israel-World Federation, took on the "Then" theme. He quoted then prime minister, Tony Blair, when Blair said "This changes the world." Indeed it did, but not for the better. Anyway, Mr. Clark wrote:
"In a BBC Radio 4 interview, Tony Blair, Britain's former Prime Minister, said of the 9/11 terrorist attack that it was "deeply naive" to believe the response of the west had radicalised extremist Muslim factions. Blair insisted "significant blows" had been struck in the war on terror but admitted, "It's not over". He said radicals "believe in what they believe in because they believe their religion compels them to believe in it." He said the terrorism threat would only end when "we defeat the ideology." In respect of any underlying effect on Europe, speaking from his London home, Blair said; "I think it will take a generation, but the way to defeat this ideology ultimately is by a better idea, and we have it, which is a way of life based on openness, democracy, freedom and the rule of law."
Blair was in Brighton on the day of the attack preparing a speech for a trade union conference. He was alone in a room making final tweaks when an aid interrupted him and told him there was something he must watch on TV. His former chief of staff, Jonathan Powell, said to BBC Breakfast on the tenth anniversary of the attack; "He really became very steely, very focused. I think he was the first on television to express our sympathy as a country, but also the world's sympathy with the United States and to stand alongside them." Tony Blair said openly at the conference, "This changes the world."
Meanwhile, Powell revealed that Downing Street was unable to contact President Bush until the day after the terrorists struck. Bush was "a very shaken man", he said. "He wasn't sure what to do. His voice was quavering. He was in a state almost of shock." (end of quote)
Pastor Alan Campbell of Northern Ireland, in addressing the "Now" thinks the freedom of movement as a result of 911 is probably most significant because it has conditioned the populace to accept controls. Whereas before 911, the populace was less likely to accept such controls, but these days when the authorities move to quell what they consider threatening, like the financial disturbances in Greece and Spain, they are not met with great public outcries. Where this will lead is speculation but a conditioned populace may not rebel if bank closures, or the like, are planned as a further step in enslaving people. Lately, there is a move to remove the freedom of the Internet and the general public does not appear alarmed. (end of quote)
Yet, as desperate as the pangs of bondage, poverty and immorality appear, eleven years later, we must ask ourselves, "is there something spectacular on the horizon." If so, we may not like what we will have to live through but like the woman in travail, the pain ends in bliss. Let's look at a few signs.
One of our Bible study participants referred to Daniel 5 and pointed to God's Handwriting to the shamefully wicked Belshazzar which basically told the king that God numbered the days of his kingdom and brought it to an end; that Belshazzer was weighed in the balance and found wanting. So when we were discussing 2012 and the Esau Dominion, she considered it and summed up their fate by saying, "The writing is on the wall, their time is soon up." It is interesting that somewhere in the Apocrypha there is a verse that reads "Esau is the end, Jacob the beginning.
I personally look at the moral decay in our nations, the lack of Christian values and support by our leaders and the great chaos in our nations and can't help but reflect on the great iniquity Isaiah described in Isaiah 51:
Therefore, listen to this, in your affliction,
drunk that you are, but not with wine
Thus says the LORD, your Lord and your God
Who will plead his people's cause:
Look, I take from your hand
The cup of drunkenness
You shall never drink again
from the bowl of my wrath
I will give it instead to your tormentors or oppressors,
Those who said to you, 'Lie down and we will walk over you'
And you made your backs like the ground beneath them,
Like a roadway for passers-by.
Who are the tormentors; who was the cup passed to? Lamentations 4: 21-22 tells us this.
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom [Esau]
You who live in the land of Uz
Yet the cup shall pass to you in turn,
And when you are drunk you will expose yourself to shame
The punishment for your sin, daughter of Zion [True Israel] is now complete
And never again shall you be carried into exile.
But you, daughter of Edom [Esau], your sin shall be punished
And your guilt revealed.
Is there a prophecy that reveals the Dominion taken from Esau. Yes, in Ezekiel 34: 27, "…and [True Israel] shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
Matthew 13: 24-30 reveals what will happen to the tares [Esau and collaborators], James 5:1-6 outlines the fate of the unscrupulous rich, Obadiah also depicts the fate of Esau.
Many more Bible passages could be mentioned relating to the ultimate destruction of Esau Edom but a brief mention should be made of our leaders. If they have been supporters of Esau, then they are collaborators and a similar fate awaits them.
There is one further thought that should be included. September 2012 marks 11 years from 911. So, does the number "11" hold any significance. Two men of distinction who made a great study of the meaning of Biblical numbers are E.W. Bullinger and Ed Vallowe. Bullinger interprets "11" as marking disorder, imperfection and disintegration. Vallowe points out that it is usually associated with Judgment and Disorder. Both employ many Bible passages as substantiating evidence.
So, "will the handwriting be on the wall" commencing in September 2012? We shall see.

Proper jaw function and a well-aligned bite are fundamental to the health and longevity of your teeth and smile. Every patient who enters our office will receive a full assessment of the movement and position of the jaw with regard to the complex system of teeth, bones, nerves, and musculature in the face to detect potential temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Dr. Simmons performs a technologically advanced, Doppler ultrasonic examination of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which allows him to evaluate joint pathology. In addition, Dr. Simmons utilizes X-ray and articulated impression models to evaluate each patient's individual physiology and to diagnose any disorders that may exist.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can cause chronic facial pain, headaches, ringing in the ears, neck pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, and misaligned bite. Often these conditions are degenerative, worsening over time if they are not addressed with therapy. The main objective of TMD therapy is to restore proper physiological interaction between the joint, jaw, and teeth.
Bite guards are helpful to patients who grind their teeth, alleviating unnecessary strain on the teeth and jaw.
Physical therapy and the use of anti-inflammatory medications can help relax and stretch facial muscles, relieving tension and inflammation that causes pain.
Minimal bite adjustments can relieve uneven pressures on teeth to prevent further wear and fractures.
If these therapies are unable to reduce pain and restore a proper bite, Dr. Simmons can use restorative dentistry techniques (reshaping and modeling teeth with custom crowns and bridges) to regain optimal bite positioning and facilitate healthy jaw function. Contact us today for more information about TMD and the treatments we offer.
Read through testimonials from some of Dr. Simmons TMD patients and learn about the relief they found with TMD treatment.

Q: Prints letter pattern with certain amount of rows I need help fixing my code, see below for problem.
I have to write a function that prints out the L shape made up of *'s. Also, the parameter M is an integer between 1 and 80 and is the rows of the shape. The output needs to be N rows, the last of which should comprise N letters of L.
My user input should be the desired rows but its just printing the range, and even that looks a little off. Please assist, if you can... this is what I have so far:
M = int(input())
def solution(M):
    result =""
    if M > 80:
        for row in range(1, 80):
            for column in range(1, 80):
                if (column == 1 or (row == 1 and column != 0 and column < 1)):
                    result = result + "*"
                else:
                    result = result + "\n"
    print(result)
solution(M)

A: M = int(input())
def solution(M):
    result_str=""
    for row in range(0,M+1):
        for column in range(0,M+1):
            if (column == 1 or (row == M and column != 0 and column < M)):
                result_str=result_str+"*"
            else:
                result_str=result_str+" "
        result_str=result_str+"\n"
    print(result_str)
solution(M)

https://ideone.com/UoGj2n
https://www.w3resource.com/python-exercises/python-conditional-exercise-21.php

A: This is just printing * for each row, unless the row = M in which case it is printing "*" * M and exiting if the value is >= 80 or <= 1 (since you said between 1-80):
import sys
print("Please enter an integer between 1-80:")
M = int(input())

def solution(N):
    if N >= 80 or N <= 1:
        sys.exit("Please run again using an integer between 1-80")
    result = ""
    for row in range(1, N+1):
        if row < N:
            result = "*"
            print(result)
        elif row == N:
            result = "*" * N
            print(result)
solution(M)

Then when you run:
[dkennetz@nodecn001  tmp]$ python3 fun.py
Please enter an integer between 1-80:
4
*
*
*
****

A: You can try with this solution. I hope that it's clear enough:
SYMBOL = '*'

def solution(M, N):
  result = []

  # validations
  if M > 80:
    M = 80
  if N > 80:
    N = 80

  for row in range(1, M + 1):
    if row < M:
      result.append(SYMBOL)
    else:
      # last row
      result.append(''.join([SYMBOL for column in range(1, N + 1)]))

  return result

# generate rows
result = solution(10, 5) # TODO: use values from input() instead
# print result
for row in result:
  print(row)

The trailer for the Hidden Figures film.
Hidden Figures is about NASA mathematicians Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) as they work together to help launch astronaut John Glenn into outer space.
I love this trailer. I can't find anything that I would consider a flaw. It gave me everything that I want out of a period film. Beautiful and accurate costumes, great acting, and romance. We all know Taraji P. Henson and Octavia Spencer will be wonderful. However, it was interesting to see Janelle Monae in an acting role and I believe she will be amazing. I'll be watching this film in theaters come January 2017.

Li Holds Off McIlroy To Win Omega Dubai Desert Classic
Li Haotong produced a final-round 3-under 69 to hold off Rory McIlroy and win his second European Tour title at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.
The Chinese star entered the final day a shot clear of McIlroy but trailed by two after 12 holes as the four-time major winner looked on track for a third victory at Emirates Golf Club.
Li, though, birdied four of his last six holes to sign for a closing 69 en route to a tournament-record 23-under par, one stroke ahead of the Northern Irishman, who finished the same six-hole stretch with two birdies against one bogey.
The stunning finish left McIlroy frustrated but cemented Li as a legitimate world-class player.
"I was quite nervous. The first hole I made bogey and got to come back really quick, which was good," said Li.
"I think most of the time, only two or one behind, so I just want to keep pulling myself in a position and just don't go too far away.
"The last four holes was some of the best shots in my life so far. Happy to see I can hold a trophy here. I'm looking forward to my first Masters."
With the win, Li becomes the first Chinese player to move into the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Afterwards, McIlroy was angry with himself after surrendering a two-shot lead over the final six holes.
"From being two ahead standing on the 13th tee to being level going into 16, I just don't know," said McIlroy, who finished T3 last week in Abu Dhabi.
"It was a couple of bad shots, a couple of poor decisions, a couple of mental errors, a few tentative putts out there as well.
"I kept leaving myself in places where I couldn't really give it a run at the hole because they were downhill, downgrain, downwind. So I didn't really leave it in the best spots to be aggressive with my putts.
"But I tried until the very end, made two good birdies. Made him win it in the end which was all I could do and he played very well on the way in, birdieing three of the last four.
"I just wish I could get a couple of those holes back."
England's Tyrrell Hatton closed with a 66 to finish solo-three at 20 under, a shot clear of Frenchman Alexander Levy (70) and three ahead of countryman Chris Paisley (69).

Listen up, seafood enthusiasts! It is possible that the fish you serve in your dish contains plastic. Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that are approximately the size of a sesame seed and are found in the environment.
Plastic particles are often mistaken for food by fish, which causes them to consume them. An investigation by experts discovered microplastics in every single sample of commercial fish that was examined in a recent investigation.
The seafood on offer includes wild blue crab, wild oysters, farmed tiger prawns, wild squid, and wild sardines, among other things. They found that the sardines had the greatest plastic level, with 30 milligrams (approximately the size of a grain of rice) being present in each serving.
While scientists are still unsure of the full extent of the dangers of eating plastic, a recent study has indicated that microplastics may both absorb and emit chemicals and hazardous contaminants, raising concerns.

As a result of climate change in the Western United States, wildfires are becoming more severe and frequent, generating massive clouds of smoke that, according to experts, will impact tens of millions of people and cause an increase in premature deaths.
People in urban and rural regions alike are bracing themselves for another summer of smoky skies throughout the West Coast and in the Rocky Mountains, as a result of the smog.
Wildfire smoke was traditionally regarded as a nuisance, with the exception of those who were most susceptible to it. It is currently seen as a recurrent public health concern in certain areas of the country.
According to Loretta Mickley, a climate researcher at Harvard University, inhabitants of Northern California, western Oregon, Washington state, and the Northern Rockies may see the greatest increases in air pollution from smoke. Coughing, chest discomfort, and asthma episodes may all be brought on by the microscopic particles in smoke that enter deep into the lungs.

Because of an alarming increase in coronavirus infections, the Philippine government has decided to temporarily prohibit the entrance of foreigners and limit the entry of returning Filipinos at the country's international airport to 1,500 people per day, according to the Associated Press.
Coronavirus strains from other countries, which are believed to be more contagious, will not be allowed into the country, according to a government agency dealing with the pandemic. The month-long travel restrictions will begin on Saturday, according to the government agency dealing with the pandemic.
Filipino employees who are confined to their homes are among those who will be granted restricted access. Philippine Airlines has said that it would notify certain flight cancellations in order to comply with the interim prohibition.
As a result of a spike in infections, which some officials attribute to public complacency and critics blame on the government's failure to respond to the pandemic, Manila and other cities in the capital region reinstated 7-hour night curfews for two weeks starting Monday and shut down dozens of villages.
With more than 631,300 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 12,848 fatalities, the Philippines has recorded the second-highest number of cases and deaths in Southeast Asia, behind Indonesia.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that the State Department is collaborating with the Taliban to enable more charter flights from Kabul for individuals wanting to flee Afghanistan after the withdrawal of American military and diplomatic forces from the country. During a joint news conference with Qatar's senior diplomats and military officials on Tuesday, Blinken expressed his views on the situation.
Earlier this week, he said that the United States had been in touch with the Taliban "in recent hours" to hammer out arrangements for more charter flights out of Kabul. According to Blinken, the Taliban has assured everyone wanting to leave Afghanistan with appropriate travel papers that they would be safe in their travels.
He said that the United States would keep the Taliban to their word on this matter. Blinken said that the United States thinks there are "probably in the neighborhood of 100" American citizens remaining in Afghanistan who want to escape the war-torn country. The State Department had previously estimated the number of people to be between 100 and 200.
Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are in Qatar to express gratitude to the Gulf Arab country for its assistance in the evacuation of tens of thousands of Afghans who were evacuated after the Taliban seized control of Kabul on Aug. 15 and are now in the country.

A new normal. Giving kids the advantages we don't even remember we had. We never worried about whether we had a bag for books or pencils to write with. How can we ask children to achieve without giving them simplistic means to do that?

... left in this Penn State saga. The victims, obviously, and unforgettably. But beginning this week, the players and coaches have found a new normal. "This is really the first year of Penn State," linebacker Michael Matui said Thursday at Big Ten media days.
Look at the fires that have raged this year in Colorado and New Mexico, and you're seeing not a "perfect storm" of temporary conditions, but evidence of the new normal in the American West.
Here are the dates you can start watching them: THE NEW NORMAL (August 29), GO ON (August 9), GUYS WITH KIDS (September 13), REVOLUTION (September 4), ANIMAL PRACTICE (August 13), and CHICAGO FIRE (September 27).
Is there room for humility and humanity in this new normal? Sohn's characters don't change very much as a result of their experiences. But they struggle on and somehow we're left with an inexplicable feeling that it might just be enough.
While Ryan Murphy juggles three different shows, he is lucky to have some great partners in production, including Ali Adler, his co-creator on The New Normal.

It has taken 156 years for London's police force to be given a new code of conduct. Now they have one, thanks to the reforming zeal of its current commissioner. The London bobby is special in at least two ways. Unlike his counterpart in population centers beyond the capital, he operates directly under the eye of the home secretary, not provincial authorities.
He performs his job in a metropolitan crime center whose record for law-breaking has worsened in recent years. Doing his duty in a goldfish bowl, the policeman in Britain's capital city has come under mounting criticism.
When Sir Kenneth Newman took over as commissioner of the metropolitan police he assumed control of a force battling with rising crime and a reputation dented by reports of inefficiency and corruption.
Added to the problem was London's special racial mix -- a huge city where unemployment and social deprivation marred the lives of many thousands of immigrants.
Sir Kenneth's task was a dual one: containing (and if possible, solving) the crime problem, while convincing the majority white population of London that authorities were able to cope.
The centerpiece of Newman's reforms is a new police code of conduct aimed at restoring public confidence in the activities of the bobby on the beat. In future, the 25,000 officers in the force, together with new recruits, will be required to stick to a 64-page guide offering advice on the ethical and practical problems of policing the capital.
Introducing it, Sir Kenneth claimed that the code was the first of its kind. The theme, he said, was to persuade London's police to switch from being an inward-looking force and become an outward-looking set of officers with their eyes on the future and their ears open to community responses.
To achieve this it was vital for the bobby on the beat and officers set above him to avoid corruption, take account of differing but legitimate racial and cultural differences between social groups, and encourage legitimate free speech.
The commissioner is reconciled to high crime rates. But he wants to avoid a response to crime by police that may worsen the problem: alienating citizens in the twilight zone between legality and wrongdoing.
Sir Kenneth devised his code of conduct against a background of evidence suggesting rising numbers of Londoners no longer had full confidence in their police force. One in 10 is said to be alienated completely, while others say they have serious doubts about police conduct.
``We have the best police force in the world,'' Sir Kenneth said, introducing the new rule book. What was needed was for the public to recognize the reality and give the bobby their confidence.
For his part, Sir Kenneth would be pressing the metropolitan police to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the principles on which the new code of conduct rests. Then it would be up to citizens to draw conclusions from what they observe of police behavior.

-Saturday he came to the belated house warming party I threw with my roommates, and not only did he rush to my aid and rescue my puppy (who got so excited from making so many new friends that she jumped over a 3 1/2 foot wall and ran directly into oncoming traffic) from the street while I had a panic attack, but he spent quality time talking to specific friends I'd mentioned – at some point or another – were important to me. Before he left to go home, he asked if he could take me to breakfast in the morning. I agreed. I mean, for heaven's sake, he saved my baby's life; the least I could do was let the boy buy me some eggs.
-Dinner was perfect, and at one point during the movie, when he leaned over and kissed me, I swear I felt a little something in my tummy.
-On Monday night he called to ask me to have dinner with him on Tuesday, and by this point, I'd be lying by omission if I didn't admit that I couldn't wait to see him again. I found myself carefully picking an outfit I knew he'd love (actually, it was inspired by my new BFF, Deanna (yes, as in The Bachelorette). Normal people might not remember this, but I LOVED the white jeans she wore the night she sent both guys home from the two-on-one date). I found myself smiling like an idiot when he told me I looked gorgeous. I found myself alternating between laughing hysterically and enjoying in-depth conversations about everything from condiments (mustard vs. ketchup) to family to business ethics. I found myself wondering how four and a half hours could have flown by so quickly. I knew when MML kissed me goodnight that I'd just been on one of the best dates of my life.
-On Thursday he called me from work in the middle of the day to fill me in on some office drama that he'd been telling me about all week, and before we hung up he asked if my girl roommate and I wanted to meet some of his friends at a local hot spot for a couple of drinks and some good music. I hesitated because, well, I didn't want to be too available, and this would have been our fifth time hanging out in one week. However, as I'm writing this, I'm on my way to Vegas with my girlfriends for a long weekend of good 'ol fashioned shenanigans. Given we'll have a four day separation, I thought seeing MML one more time would be okay. Again, I carefully picked out my outfit and felt myself light up when we walked into the bar and MML made a beeline for me and my girl roommate. We had a great time hanging out and dancing…although, we definitely got caught giving each other a couple of looks that made our friends roll their eyes and make gagging noises.
By the time I kissed MML good night (for a half hour) on Thursday, I knew I was in trouble. We've been seeing each other for just about two months and things have steadily moved forward since our first date. If I can control the intense panic rising in my throat, I'll admit that I'm developing real feelings for MML. I know the time is coming when it will be assumed that I'm not dating anyone else, and I'm somehow going to have to explain my position and my logic.
When I decided to be done having boyfriends, I definitely patted myself on the back for what I honestly thought was a stroke of brilliance. I firmly believe that I need to stay strong in my resolve not to have a boyfriend. I've dated enough guys to fill a football stadium and I've had a couple of significant relationships - I know I'm ready to find a life partner. It made so much sense - if you're looking for a life partner, why in the world would you date one guy at a time? It's much more efficient to keep your options open until you find someone you want to spend your life with and who feels the same way about you. To me, that seems like the logical point to focus on one guy.
When I first started thinking that I'm going to somehow communicate this to MML, I was overwhelmed…and a little scared. How would I make sure he knew that he was becoming incredibly special to me, and that not having a boyfriend is just how I need to do things at this point in my life? How would I make sure he knew that I wasn't going to be sleeping with other guys (once we decide to take that step)? What if this is a deal breaker for him? Although I have no idea how I'm going to do it or what I'm going to say, if he walks away, he probably wasn't in it for the long haul.
ALL that being said, I think an amendment to the dating experiment is in order: In the beginning, the idea was to date pretty much anyone and everyone who asked me out (within reason, I did say "no" to the 50 year old with a pot belly who came up to me, sucked his teeth, and said, "how bout I take your pretty little self out tonight"). But now, I think I should continue getting to know MML and introducing him to my world - without having to go on dates with people who interest me about as much as accounting homework. At this point there is no reason to go on pointless dates. BUT, if and when a B+ or better comes along and asks me out, I'll go...until I know I'm with someone I want to spend my life with (whether it's MML or someone I've yet to meet). In the meantime, I'm going to focus on allowing myself to fall...EEEK!
I've been thinking a lot lately about commitment. I definitely agree that it's too early to commit to not seeing anyone else, but I wonder when that changes? I guess you'll just know. One thing that I've been thinking about lately is people who are in 1-3 year relationships and are still keeping an eye open for someone better. At a certain point, I feel like that's counterproductive-- there will always be problems in a relationship and, when you're in a rough patch, there will always be someone else who seems new and shiny.


A man who found a kitten encased in concrete at his home fears it was sent as a threat from a polygamist Mormon sect.
The tiny cat was discovered alive but audibly in pain, inside a tube in the back yard of Isaac Wyler, a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Andrew Chatwin, who has also abandoned the FLDS, claimed it was intended as a warning to Mr Wyler to stop speaking out against the church.
The FLDS achieved notoriety when its leader Warren Jeffs was sentenced to life in prison last year for sexually assaulting two underage girls he had "married".
Mr Chatwin, who left the church in 1999 and has since criticised its polygamist beliefs, told Right This Minute that FLDS members frequently left dead animals on Mr Wyler"s property.
In the latest case, six weeks ago, a cat was found buried up to its neck in concrete in a metal tube being used to construct a shade for horses in Mr Wyler"s yard in Colorado City, Arizona.
It was mewling incessantly and appeared to be struggling to escape in a video filmed by Mr Chatwin and a friend and later posted to YouTube.
They took down the pipe and cut off the metal, leaving just a lump of concrete with the kitten"s head sticking out.
They then took a hammer to the concrete and hacked it off, but had to leave lumps still sticking to the fur of the terrified animal.
Mr Chatwin handed the cat over to a local rescue charity, but sadly it died a few days later.
When he reported the apparent abuse to a Colorado City sheriff who is allegedly a member of the FLDS, he received little help.
"He kind of chuckled and laughed a little bit and then he said that if it was up to him, he"d just throw dirt on it," Mr Chatwin told Right This Minute.
Last month the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against authorities in Colorado City and another FLDS-dominated town over allegations they discriminated against non-members of the church.
At the time the suit was filed, Mr Chatwin described the towns as "a theocracy" where "they keep starving people right out of the community".


Tile flooring can make a really big impact on the way that your home looks. It is an excellent addition to any home as it instantly brings out the beauty and elegance that you have always wanted to have. It is not cheap though so you should make sure that you take proper care of your tile flooring once you have it installed.
One of the first things that you should think about whenever you have tile flooring in your home is deciding on which cleaning method to use. There are different approaches to tile cleaning and each technique has its own pros and cons. Choosing just one cleaning method to use can be tough which is why I have prepared some useful information to help you through this task.
Always knowing what kind of tiles that you have is really important before making a choice of what kind of cleaning approach you are going to take. There are many different kinds of tiles and each one may have a specific requirement when it comes to cleaning it. There are tiles which are very sensitive to water or to acidic cleaning solutions such as natural stone tiles. There are also those which are more resistant to these substances. If you want to know exactly how to clean your tiles the right way then find out first what kind of tiles you have as a start.
Another tip that you could use is sticking to what you are comfortable with. Try to go with a cleaning method that you know you can do properly and effectively. What good is trying out a new and modern technique if you are not really comfortable or at ease when using it. You should stick with what you are good at so that you will have a hassle-free and easy tile cleaning experience.
Try to do some research on what kind of cleaning method works well with the kind of tiles that you have. You can try talking to a professional tile cleaning company and ask them as to what would be an effective approach to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of your tiles. You can likewise go online and check out forums concerning home and tile cleaning and you'll probably be able to get some useful information from other homeowners and experts on what techniques you should try in order to get excellent results always.

How much joy and happiness for me when I see your letter, but I know there's sadness every day more and more.
My dear and like we do all the steps forward, but are on the spot. It is sad for me.
My dear all my friends a lot of joy that I have finally been able to find the person that warms my heart and gives me joy in this life, that's just me sad, is that between me and you there is a distance. And today, when I see your letter, and I understand that you do not try to make an effort for our meeting, I'll try to do everything for our meeting. That's just I have a lot of sadness.
How do you know that you soon to you I need to have an additional $ 220.
The whole day I was trying to make an effort to somehow get the money.
I did not know that and I do and how I can be, I went to look for money all day, but I could not. My dear I went to the bank to try to take the money out there, but I was told that if I borrow money in the bank, I was not allowed out of the country - because there is a debt the country. My dear so I ask money from my friends but no one can help me, because they have their own families, and they need help for their own family. My dear, I did not know and that I do.
But you know at one point I could feel the support.
I spoke today on the phone with my mom she heard my tears of sadness and she asked me what had happened, and understand all that is difficult My dear, I explained to my mother that I can not make the payment for the ticket. She thought for a long time and did not know what to say, but told me the beautiful words: "I can not see the tears of my daughter!" Mom offered me another option. She said that she can try to sell things: gold jewelry, and for these things, we will be able to receive about 100 USD.
My dear this money is not enough to come to you, but if you can help me with the rest of the money: $ 120, I can fly to you and do everything for our meeting. My dear do you think? Can you help me, I think that both of us should make our joint efforts for our meeting, and should be together.
My dear My mother says that if we want to be a family, we are together with you should make every effort for our meeting, and if I do best and you just, then we will be with you. That's just, I do not know what you think about this?
Now I worry a lot and a lot of expectation of what will happen to our meeting. My dear I ask you to you to tell me your opinion, and what will happen to our meeting. Now at this point I will leave but I'll wait a lot for your answer.
