What's the Cyberknife? And Why is it Marketed Like a Cancer Elixir?
There are a lot of great treatments out there for prostate cancer, and also a lot of advertising. We don't have a dog in the fight. What we do care about is helping you make better decisions. Some of the best prostate cancer doctors in the country say the cyberknife is not necessarily better than other treatments. But you would never know it looking at advertisements. The cyberknife is marketed like it's some sort of cancer elixir.
"There's a tremendous profit to be made," says Dr. Patrick Swift, a radiation oncologist at Stanford Medicine. "Everyone takes their technology and tries to model it as being the best that's out there," but – he says – there's no proven difference in the efficacy.


Trained as a draughtsman with his father's pupils, Pugin embarked on a design career as early as fifteen years of age, with Gothic furniture made by Morel & Seddon for Windsor castle and metalwork for the royal goldsmiths Rundell, Bridge & Co. His numerous publications were highly influential; his Reformed Gothic ecclesiastical and domestic buildings set the pattern of the Gothic Revival in Britain for two decades and his work on the Palace of Westminster initiated many patterns and techniques that found their way into the commercial repertory of British domestic design.
In the 1840s, as one of the pioneers in design reform, A. W. N. Pugin was designing churches and seminaries and their furnishings for the Catholic Church. This brought his ideas on simplicity and fitness for purpose into public view. His collaboration from the mid-1840s with Charles Barry on the Palace of Westminster, and more importantly his Medieval Court at the 1851 Great Exhibition, produced a vast quantity of secular furniture, ceramics, metalwork wall-papers and textiles, that went on to have a long lived commercial presence well into the 20th century. Pugin was responsible for designing and overseeing the entire fitting out of the Palace interiors, as well as conceiving the 1851 Medieval Court entirely on his own terms. With superhuman energy and inventiveness Pugin had forged a design language, providing the basis for retailing the Gothic style to house-builders and decorators of the future. These projects involved a number of manufacturers, the closest of these allies being Hardman, Crace, Myers and Minton; firms that went on to employ and be employed by the up and coming architect-designers of the next generation.
He travelled incessantly around the British Isles working on numerous commissions in a prolific career that he saw as a sacred calling, eulogising about the virtues of pre-Reformation England and advocating a system of architecture based on Medieval and godly notions. His established set of principles for design never went away and went on to be reiterated by Jones and Dresser in their own work. The 1862 International Exhibition in London brought forward this next generation, who now had a well established middle class market to cater for. Among the exhibitors were the second wave of design reformers J.P. Seddon, Richard Norman Shaw and William Burges. Charles Bevan and Bruce Talbert followed closely in their footsteps, finding a way of making Gothic both modern and practical.
His unsustainable lifestyle did not result in wealth or a stable home life. A constant entrepreneur, although not a particularly successful one, he traded in antiquities imported from the Lowlands in the 1830s, and oversaw in the posthumous publication of his father's work and, unfortunately, the failure of his father's furniture making company. Whilst perhaps best known for his immense contribution to the highly decorative schemes of the Palace of Westminster, Pugin was also deeply concerned about affordability and he sought to produce ideologically sound but cheap furniture for the middle classes and clergy. His crowded career constantly stressed by his finances came to an end with his mental collapse and he died aged only forty.


This plush pal has some real personality! The pineapple has an infectious smile and embroidered, bright green legs and stalk that perfectly compliment the yellow triangle pattern all across the front. It makes a great huggable plush for a little extra security in new places, and the tough stitching can take any snags, tosses or tugs a day of adventure can bring. The Pineapple Pal Plush sits approximately 13" high and is 9" wide.
I bought this because while pregnant with my son, I constantly craved pineapple. It's so cute. It's guaranteed to bring a smile.
This is an adorable plush, but I was disappointed that the yellow parts in the picture are a weird greenish-yellow.
This was so cute and matched the romper I got for my little niece.
I loved this pillow online, but in person it is an olive/lime green combo instead of yellow and cream pattern for the body of the pineapple. Very disappointed.

Nehe Texture Example to work.
I cant get the Texture Example off the Nehe site to work. I tried using 128x128x32, and a 256x256x32 texture, and named them texture.tga, and the Quad is still white. Please help, Im getting fustrated with OpenGL.
Will someone please give me a texture that Nehes Texture Example will load. Ive downloaded a bunch of tga, and not ONE works. What the heck is the matter. Inside the function the imageData variable is still NULL after the function(at the end). Please tell me whats wrong.
Well, the function that Nehe uses loads an BMP image, not a TGA.
Well, in his Texture Example theres a file called tga.c, and a function called LoadTGA, and it says it loads texture.tga. Are you sure?
Well as far as I can tell he loads a bitmap as well. If I were you I''d try that, what kind of error is it giving you and where?
Ahh - sorry - that was kinda useless.

'Pregnancy and Baby Charities Network' Campaign Response
05May 2021 by admin
The SNP want every child born and resident in Scotland to have the best start in life and is firmly committed to improving maternity and perinatal care across Scotland.
The safe remobilisation of pregnancy, maternity and neonatal care and support services remain a key priority for the SNP Scottish Government and we have issued remobilisation guidance to health boards for maternity and neonatal services.
If re-elected we will develop and implement a Women's Health Plan aiming to improve care services and reduce health inequalities.
The SNP will review midwifery and health visiting pathways for new families and babies, improve access to practical breastfeeding support, physical therapy advice, increase postpartum and mental wellbeing support, and ensure maternity departments have dedicated facilities for women who are experiencing unexpected pregnancy complications.
If re-elected, we will also establish a dignified, compassionate miscarriage service tailored to the needs of women supporting the development of individualised care plans after a woman's first miscarriage; as well as emulate New Zealand where families who experience miscarriage or stillbirth are entitled to 3 days of paid leave by delivering this within the public sector and calling on the UK Government to make the necessary changes to employment law to make it available for everyone.
The SNP Scottish Government's Baby Box has already provided tens of thousands of new parents with essential items for a baby's first weeks and months – ensuring every baby born in Scotland has an equal start in life – and we are committed to explore ways in which the Baby Box can be used to further promote women's health and support parental mental health.

Major reno on Douglas starts
Douglas expansion: Construction is underway at Douglas College for its estimated $9.3-million renovation and expansion project – the largest project undertaken at the New West campus since it opened more than 30 years ago.
Photograph By Contributed
For more than 30 years, Douglas College has remained more or less unchanged, but last week construction began on the largest renovation and expansion project since the opening of the New Westminster campus.
The $9.3 million project means more classrooms and labs on the south side of the local campus and a specialized area for the school's new engineering diploma program. In total, 22 classrooms will undergo upgrades and five new classrooms and three labs will be built, noted a press release from the college.
"Douglas College continues to grow, and this renovation will enable us to keep pace with the demand for our programs," said Kathy Denton, president of Douglas College, in the release.
Douglas College is contributing an estimated $8.3 million to the renovation and expansion, while the remainder will be provided by the provincial government.
"Douglas College is a respected and valued public post-secondary institution that provides high-quality education to thousands of students," said Andrew Wilkinson, minister for advanced education, in the release. "The expansion at the New Westminster campus will support programming that is aligned with in-demand occupations in a range of diverse sectors vital to a strong economy."
The project is part of the college's five-year strategic plan and is expected to be complete by mid-August.

Rowing to running, retired Olympian Urbaniak remains active
By Scott Harrigan -
This story is part of an Olympic.ca series on running called Canada Runs.
From the obvious equipment and element variations to the types of bodies that dominate each sport, distance running and rowing couldn't be any more different.
Yet Olympic rower Dorota Urbaniak has long used running to help her throughout her career, one that includes an Olympic bronze medal from Sydney 2000.
"For me as a rower that was one of the caveats. My teammates didn't necessarily support it, neither did my coaches, but I did a lot of cross training. I ran and biked as well."
Dorota Urbaniak, third from left, after Canada won women's eight bronze at Sydney 2000.
Urbaniak was a member of the women's eight crew that won Canada's only Olympic rowing medal in Australia that year, finishing third behind Romania and the Netherlands.
"It balanced me out," Urbaniak said of adding running to her training, "kept me more mentally sane and focused and I was able, I think, to avoid a lot of the pitfalls and injuries that happen when you're doing just very, very sport-specific stuff."
More than 14 years since standing on an Olympic podium in Sydney, this past weekend Urbaniak took part in the annual Canada Running Series eight-kilometre Spring Run-Off at High Park in Toronto to fight prostate cancer. The Canadian Olympic Foundation sponsored Urbaniak's entry.
The start line at High Park in Toronto as the Canada Running Series' annual Spring Run-Off gets underway.
The 42-year old was expecting to be somewhere around the 50-minute mark but surprised herself with an official personal best of 41:48. Elite Canadian runner and Olympian Eric Gillis won the race in 24:17.
"It's a wonderful opportunity, the Olympic Foundation is sponsoring the race for me," Urbaniak said. "It's a worthy cause, I actually know someone very close to me that's dealt with prostate cancer. It's a great event to support and be in the community as well."
Urbaniak has remained active since retiring from her sport. With husband Rob Makurat she takes part in adventure racing.
Dorota Urbaniak is kissed by then fiancé Rob Makurat after winning bronze at Sydney. The two now take part in adventure racing in Urbaniak's post-Olympic life.
"It's like an off-road triathlon," is how Urbaniak describes it.
"Running is cross-country, so more trekking and orienteering, you're running through – a lot of the times – unknown territory."
"Because you're trying to keep a fairly good pace over several hours, you're running through the night, you might be biking through the night or paddling through the night."
Olympian Eric Gillis breaks the tape to win the 2015 Canada Running Series Spring Run-Off at High Park.
Before she gets her racing season going, Urbaniak had to conquer High Park, which ends with an infamous 400-metre hill leading up to the finish line.
"The hill wasn't too bad it was the distance marker of '400m' to go before the hill that gave me mixed thoughts."
"Definitely the running here is going to be good training for me for some upcoming races."

Digital preservation goes rogue: ArchiveTeam scrapes the web to preserve heritage
Jul 2nd, 2012 by Isaiah Beard
MobileMe was shut down on July 1 by Apple, as part of its efforts to transition users to other services. Not making the transition, however, were users' public web sites, shareable Photo Galleries and iDisk, a cloud storage service similar to Dropbox.
Note: It's important that readers of this article understand that the purpose of this post is to document a growing, grass-roots movement to archive the web, in spite of some rather controversial methods practiced by this movement. While I sympathize with the philosophy, I am not affiliated with, nor do I condone all of their actions, nor is this something we at Rutgers would do without first clearing permissions and rights to archive any content.
One of the big problems with the web is its inherent lack of permanence. There is no formal archiving structure, and like anything digital, it's very easy for something deemed important by someone to just disappear overnight, with little or no notice. Sometimes these deletions happen on a mass scale, affecting millions of websites of varying quality, and sometimes arguably of significant cultural value.
Now it appears that, for better or for worse, a group of individuals are working to do something about it… with or without our permission.

New high-resolution displays will push the envelope for image quality
Jun 11th, 2012 by Isaiah Beard
Today, all eyes on the tech world were focused on Apple, who as expected, wowed onlookers with its yearly sneak-peek of what's to come from Cupertino. And among those announcements came a bombshell for those of us in digital imaging. A major product announcement came in the form of high-resolution, near-print quality image displays that are available beginning right now, on a high-end line of Apple MacBook Pro computers. These Retina displays are boasting 2880 x 1800 pixel densities, at a resolution of 220 pixels per inch, equivalent to some 5.2 megapixels.
By comparison, if you're reading this on a desktop or laptop, you're likely seeing it at a resolution of between 72 and 150 pixels per inch, weighing in at a mere 1.2 to 1.8 megapixels.
At the moment, this is only available (at least for desktops and laptops) on a very top level, premium line of systems whose price tags start at $2,200. However, we can expect over the next 12-18 months for these types of displays to become more common on less expensive computers, on all operating systems. And of course, displays of this resolution (and higher) are already available on tablets and mobile devices, such as iPads, iPhones and some high-end Android equivalents.
The immediate impact is that most web-formatted images that are meant to be displayed at the customary 72 ppi, will appear much smaller, and less defined, on these newer screens. This will mean that in order to deliver quality image content to users in the long term, images will have to be larger and more detailed. It'll be possible for a greater amount of detail from high-resolution digital images to be seen online, instead of having to print these images to get the full effect. Most digital text will be clearer to read. Our computer screens will better approximate print. And hopefully, using a computer to read a document should be a lot easier on users' eyes.
Fortunately for us at RUcore (and many other digital preservation projects), we're still well ahead of the curve, with imaging preservation standards that set a baseline of 400 to 600 dpi scanned images. This was originally meant to help us re-create the full print quality of a lot of the documents we scan and preserve, should someone, someday decide to re-print them. But now, it's clear that computer displays of all types are evolving to catch up with print, and give users an image experience that was never before possible on an electronic screen.

Indiana University Moves Forward with its Media Preservation Initiative
Jan 23rd, 2012 by Isaiah Beard
1/2 inch, consumer, open reel video format used in the 1960s-70s. This format suffers from Sticky Shed Syndrome, making playback difficult. Working machines for this long-obsolete format are scarce. Source: IUB Media Preservation Initiative, used with permission. Note: IUB has asked me to stress that the above photo is not representative of all media collections at the university.
The Media Preservation Site at Indiana University – Bloomington (IUB) makes its message loud and clear the moment you first set your eyes on it: "Our History is At Risk."
Home to at least 3 million media objects, including sound and moving image recordings, photos, documents, and artifacts, IUB has come to grips with the issue at hand: a great deal of their heritage is locked within obsolete electronic and analog playback formats for sound and moving images. As an old format becomes obsolete, it gets harder by the day to find working equipment to play back these objects. And that assumes that the objects can be played back, not having succumbed to age, wear and physical decay. Lacquer from old aluminum audio discs can delaminate, making them unplayable. Video tapes from the 1960s, 70s and 80s can suffer from a condition where the binding agent that holds the recording material to the plastic base sheds, allowing audio and video recordings to literally flake into nothingness. Film, too, has its own serious decay problems.
With its vast collection, faculty and staff at IUB knew the situation could become serious if nothing was done. Their first step was to take stock of the situation, and consult outside experts (myself included) to get input how how best to address the problem.
Their efforts began nearly 18 months ago when a group of IUB faculty and staff, concerned about the potential fate of important special collections on campus, approached their Office of the Vice Provost for Research about the critical issues of media, and to impress upon them that time was of the essence to address these issues.
"Even though [IU Bloomington's] needs are now documented, and it is far better equipped than most universities in the country to meet them, there is no guarantee that IU can adequately preserve its collections in the near future."
— The State of Recorded Sound Preservation in the United States, Council on Library and Information Resources for The Library of Congress, Washington
The culmination of their efforts to date have been documented on the IUB Media Preservation Website, where they document their comprehensive effort to preserve IUB's vast audio, video, and film holdings. Some important documents from their study and efforts including IUB's Director of Media Preservation Services Mike Casey's Media Preservation Survey (PDF), outlining the collection holders, preservation stakeholders, the risks involved, and potential preservation strategies. A follow-on public report (12MB PDF) also lays out the situation and what steps are being taken to save their special collections and historic content. Continued engagement, updates, and discussion on decisions made and procedures undertaken are regularly made available on their Media Preservation Blog.
The IUB Media Preservation Blog
IUB has many years of work ahead of it, not only to transfer older content into more modern digital formats, but also to continue to maintain those archives, preserve new content, and keep pace with new technologies and formats to ensure that their collections are accessible. It's encouraging to see them in action, and their efforts stand as a potential framework for other organizations in a similar bind to model their initiatives after.

Keeping Your Stuff Safe, Part 2: the Local Route

An External Hard Drive: the easiest method for making a quick copy of your important stuff. Photo taken by flickr user Miss Karen
All, right, so you've heard it over and over and again, and you know it's true: you need to make regular backups of your stuff. But how? What options do typical computer users have?
In the past few years, the options for preservation and backups have expanded quite a bit, giving users an enormous array of solutions to choose from. Of course, the diverse options can be confusing: what's the best choice for you?
The backup options out there can be grouped into two major categories: local storage and cloud storage. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, and will appeal to different users based on where and how they use their computers. Some of the best and most secure backup strategies make use of both solutions… a backup-of-the-backup, so to speak. I'll discuss that further in a later write-up.
In this article, I'll talk about local storage. In the next article, we'll go into cloud-based solutions.

Keeping Your Stuff Safe, Part 1: Why you need a Plan B
A hard disk drive with damaged platters, caused by a head crash. The data on this drive is not recoverable.
Whether we like it or not, those of us who rely on electronics to get our work done are guaranteed one thing: a data loss event. This means that at least once in our lifetimes (and sometimes more than that), every one of us who uses a computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar device is going to one day stare at our screens and realize that the piece of information we expected to be there, just isn't.
It can happen any number of ways. Sometimes, we users make a mistake and accidentally erase something we shouldn't have… or someone else might've accidentally deleted something of ours that they shouldn't have. Other times, it's the computer's fault: buggy software might've claimed to save something but didn't, or a 10-year-old hard drive finally decided to give up the ghost. And sometimes, acts of nature (power outage, natural disaster, or other events beyond our control) will intervene and cause vital work to be lost.
Of course, we've all heard it time and time again: to protect your documents, photos, drawings, artwork, and other important data, you need to have backups. Unfortunately, while we all have heard this before and know it to be true, we don't always follow through. In the past it's been tedious to do regular backups; a chore we all dread. And so, it always falls but he wayside, and often, we get back into a backup regimen only after something bad has happened, and it's already too late.
But take heart. A lot has changed recently. There ARE personal backup solutions out there that are surprisingly easy… and even automatic! keeping your stuff safe doesn't have to be a tedious chore anymore… as long as you're willing to invest a little time and effort at the beginning, and in some cases a small amount of cash on an ongoing basis.

Reese's New Peanut Butter Cups Are Made Without Chocolate
Adobe
Not much beats the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter in a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, but if you've always wanted them to be more peanut butter than chocolate, consider your wish granted.
Hershey's newest treat, Reese's Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers Cups, are a double-dose of peanut butter. They are not only filled with peanut butter like an original Reese's, but they also feature a 100% peanut butter candy-flavored shell. That's right — there's no chocolate!
The new peanut butter cup will be available in standard (1.4 ounces for $1.09), king size (2.8 ounces for 1.79) and miniatures (9.3 ounces for 4.09). You can't get your hands on them just yet, however, as they won't start rolling out to retailers until April and they'll only be around for a limited time.
In a press release, Reese tells peanut butter lovers to be on the lookout for more treats in the upcoming weeks, but while you wait, there are a few other new treats from the brand to tide you over.
Last fall, Reese's launched their first-ever snack cake, which is made with soft-baked chocolate cake and topped with Reese's peanut butter cream, then covered in smooth milk chocolate. You can also now buy white chocolate peanut butter cup thins and a variety of treats from a new line of ready-to-eat desserts by Colliders.
The Colliders refrigerated desserts come in multiple styles, including layered, twisted and chopped. While they all have Reese's flavors, the twisted version is the only one with actual pieces of Reese's mixed in.
Of course, you could also try making your own Reese's-inspired dessert, like these Reese's stuffed cupcakes or these no-bake Reese's krispy cookies. You can even make your own peanut butter cups (this recipe only calls for three ingredients!) or get pretty fancy with this peanut butter lovers swirl cake. It's made with cake mix, chocolate syrup and — of course — peanut butter cups.
Will you be trying the new Reese's Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers Cups or sticking to original Reese's?

This summer we have watched in horror at what feels like an unprecedented number of appalling, senseless acts of violence — within the US and around the world. But we are not just bystanders to these events. UC Berkeley is now mourning the tragic deaths of two of our undergraduate students — Tarishi Jain two weeks ago in Bangladesh, and Nicolas Leslie in France last week — while our thoughts are with other undergraduates injured in Nice. Some of you have taught or mentored these victims. More broadly, because of Berkeley's global connectivity, many of us have personal connections with people and places afflicted by violence. My heart goes out to everyone affected.
In the face of such horror, I find great solace in our university. I believe that we exemplify the best of the human spirit and its collective striving for the common good. I continue to be inspired by the values and ethos that are shared by our diverse community of scholars, teachers, and public servants. Whether you are preparing to serve in a profession or are creating new knowledge that will benefit society, I ask you to work now, and in the future, to spread our values to society at large. This is something that we can all do to make the world a more just and peaceful place.

The latest figures from the Retail Footfall Index have indicated that most people have begun their Christmas shopping.
Figures have shown that the number of shoppers out on the High Street rose 3.8 per cent on Saturday, rising to nine per cent on Sunday. Both figures suggest that the trend from last year, of customers and retailers playing 'chicken', with customers aiming to hold out long enough that retailers panic and slash prices, has continued.
Speaking about the findings, Martin Davies from Experian said: "The month long waiting game between consumers and the High Street finally came to an end this weekend. Following two washout weekends, retailers finally gave in last week and launched extensive pre-Christmas sales in order to give a much-needed boost to shopper numbers.
"However, while the increase in footfall over the weekend will be a relief to retailers, shoppers had a lot of catching up to do and it is unlikely that the weekend's activity will come close to making up for the slump of previous weeks.
"Consumers have learnt that holding out on purchases until the last minute increases their chances of buying at a discount and this has certainly proved true this year.
"With shopper numbers surging to nearly nine per cent above 2006 levels on Sunday, it is worth remembering that much spend will have been on discounted items which is not necessarily good news for end-of-year retail profits.
"These days, clever shoppers tend to purchase in one or two big swoops rather than dragging the Christmas shopping process out over several months.
"It is possible that next weekend's shopping will be divided between groceries and gifting, especially as shoppers can still order last minute gifts online until the end of the week.

Q: Using NIntegrate in Finite Difference Derivative method I'm trying to solve a second order differential equation using the code given by @xzczd here which is based on this.
What this code makes is transform differential equations in algebraic ones by means of the Finite Difference method.
When I solve the equation
    R*X''[R] - X'[R] + R^3 == 0;

I have no problems at all. However when I change the equation to
R*X''[R] - X'[R] + R^3*nColdr[R] == 0;

being that
nColdr[R_?NumberQ]=NIntegrate[g[x],{x,0,R}],

where g is a complicated function of x, I get the output:
FindRoot::nlnum: The function value {0. +2.09232*10^17 (-1.37456*10^-14+2.7573*10^-14 nColdr$6323491[{0.,0.20202,0.40404,0.606061,0.808081,1.0101,1.21212,1.41414,1.61616,1.81818,2.0202,2.22222,2.42424,<<26>>,7.87879,8.08081,8.28283,8.48485,8.68687,8.88889,9.09091,9.29293,9.49495,9.69697,9.89899,<<50>>}]),<<49>>,<<150>>} is not a list of numbers with dimensions {200} at {X$6323491[0],X$6323491[20/99],X$6323491[40/99],X$6323491[20/33],X$6323491[80/99],X$6323491[100/99],X$6323491[40/33],X$6323491[140/99],X$6323491[160/99],X$6323491[20/11],X$6323491[200/99],X$6323491[20/9],X$6323491[80/33],X$6323491[260/99],X$6323491[280/99],X$6323491[100/33],X$6323491[320/99],<<17>>,X$6323491[680/99],X$6323491[700/99],X$6323491[80/11],X$6323491[740/99],X$6323491[760/99],X$6323491[260/33],X$6323491[800/99],X$6323491[820/99],X$6323491[280/33],X$6323491[860/99],X$6323491[80/9],X$6323491[100/11],X$6323491[920/99],X$6323491[940/99],X$6323491[320/33],X$6323491[980/99],<<150>>} = {1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,<<150>>}. >>

I'm pretty sure that the problem is because of the NIntegrate... I already try to do Hold and then ReleaseHold in different parts of the @xzczd code but it's not working...

A: It's because pdetoode/pdetoae has made use of Listable attribute, which almost all the arithmetic functions own. So you just need to make your nColdr Listable. A simple example:
nColdr[x_?NumberQ] := NIntegrate[y^2, {y, 0, x}]

SetAttributes[nColdr, Listable]

eq = R*X''[R] - X'[R] + R^3 nColdr[R] == 0;

bc = {X[0] == 0, X[1] == 1};

domain = {0, 1};
points = 25;
grid = Array[# &, points, domain];
difforder = 4;
ptoafunc = pdetoae[X[R], grid, difforder];

ae = Delete[ptoafunc[eq], {{1}, {-1}}];

data = FindRoot[{ae, bc}, {X@#, 0} & /@ grid][[All, -1]];

pic = ListLinePlot[data, DataRange -> domain];

eqref = R*X''[R] - X'[R] + R^3 Integrate[y^2, {y, 0, R}] == 0;
sol = NDSolveValue[{eqref, bc /. X[0] -> X[10^-6]}, X, {R, 10^-6, 1}];
ListLinePlot[sol, PlotStyle -> {Red, Dashed, Thick}]~Show~pic

I get asked from time to time how Master Data Management (MDM) relates to my work in Sensemaking Systems. There is sufficient confusion to warrant a blog post on this subject, so here it is.
Different missions, different tools. Some organizations will use one or the other; most organizations will want both.
MDM is about helping companies gain control over business information by enabling them to manage and maintain a complete and accurate view of their master data. MDM deals with a known problem. Master data is "intentional" business data that is structured and flows from systems under one's control. Common master data domains include customers, products, and accounts. The MDM outcome: organizations have higher quality, reliable and consistent master data records.
Sensemaking is about helping companies make sense of their diverse observational space, ranging from data they own and control (e.g., structured master data) to data they do not or cannot control (e.g., externally-generated and less structured social media). Sensemaking deals with uncertainty around an unknown and every changing domain – as if operating over an arbitrary number of puzzles, each unclear, incomplete and riddled with inconsistencies. Common Sensemaking domains include customers, watch lists, social circles and investigations. The Sensemaking outcome: organizations make better decisions, faster.
Both MDM and Sensemaking Systems make organizations more competitive. Both can serve real time or batch missions. And both play together quite nicely.
Now to highlight some stark differences between these two missions and hence the reason the algorithms used in each domain are fundamentally so different.
Because master file data is owned and controlled by the organization, this data tends to be more complete (feature rich). For example, customer records often contain a name, address, and some form of further identification like a date of birth or tax identification number.
While high fidelity data is better, Sensemaking Systems must routinely attempt to associate low fidelity observations e.g., connecting the dots between a third party watch list containing only name, nationality and date of birth fields and an internal cyber investigation database containing only email and IP addresses.
The algorithms required to deal with low fidelity data require union/set-based entity resolution algorithms which are fundamentally different than the record linking algorithms used when dealing with rich data.
Organizations that deploy MDM seek to improve data quality at collection, e.g., detection and elimination of duplicate accounts during data entry – the purpose being clean records. This kind of control over internally generated master data means less bad data gets in the front door. And in this pursuit of "golden" master data records … bad data is bad.
Contrast this with Sensemaking Systems. In this class of system, errors such as misspellings and numeric transpositions are valuable regardless of whether these errors have been generated by accident or are professionally fabricated lies created by sophisticated criminals. When a criminal uses different alias and date of birth combinations, Sensemaking Systems meticulously record this untrusted information, permit this ambiguity to fester, and monitor numerous versions of truth. This "bad data" is sometimes the only source of an important clue.
The algorithms used to harness an out of control observation space are quite different than those algorithms used to manage internally controlled, higher quality records.
For most organizations, master data will not exceed 500M records. At these scales, the automated triage of changes to master data results in a small to modest number of records that must be arbitrated following human review. Fortunately, as an organization's master data is a closed domain … there is a real chance humans can keep up as "uncertainty" is minimal and manageable.
Sensemaking Systems must be able to deal with extremely large data sets – potentially involving tens to hundreds of billions of records – being generated from an ever more diverse range of data sources (e.g., from Twitter to OpenStreetMap). At this volume and diversity the "uncertainty" is beyond the capacity of virtually any human review.
The algorithms used to deal with the enormous ambiguity tend to be very different than algorithms that routinely face smaller, more controlled data sets that routinely benefit from human participation. Sensemaking algorithms have also been seen to actually get smarter and faster over ever growing datasets – an exciting feature for customers staring information overload in the face.
MDM is about being in control of the master data that an organization generates and about the truth of this data. Master data becomes so reliable that its assertions are treated as fact – and these facts are so firm they are rarely reversed or invalidated.
Because Sensemaking Systems are attempting to harness an out of control observation space, assertions about context are constantly postulated, reevaluated and retroactively readjusted. This accumulating context is viewed more like a prediction that is expected to evolve as more observations are considered.
The algorithms required to constantly reassess and context correct the historical observations with every new observation, in real-time, are fundamentally different than algorithms that do not have this requirement.
The algorithms necessary to publish insight at ingestion based on incremental context accumulation and complex event processing are fundamentally different than algorithms that do not have this requirement.
If an organization has a well constructed MDM system, it has a good handle on its own data and processes. This MDM data being a great starting point for Sensemaking Systems. Nice, but not required.
Ironically, when Sensemaking Systems are used in weak signals domains e.g., the detection of criminal activity, irregularity and errors in the data being presented by adversaries happens to be extremely useful. So while MDM systems (by design) clean up data entry, Sensemaking Systems should be provided the good, bad, and ugly data – pre- and post- cleaning. Point being: if you polish every piece of data to perfection, one may never find the weak signal.
Different technologies. Different missions. And a simple integration story.

A 'Hot Hand' Led to Greg Dulli Album, 'Random Desire'
Afghan Whigs singer Greg Dulli began to write the songs for his new solo album, Random Desire, after finishing last Afghan Whigs record, 2017's In Spades. The Whigs were on hold as drummer Patrick Keeler was about to take a short sabbatical to record and tour with his other band, the Raconteurs, and Dulli's longtime collaborator, bassist John Curley, was going back to school. The tragic death of the band's guitarist, Dave Rosser, also necessitated that the band take a break.
Dulli wound up writing the tunes for the album at his home in Silver Lake, in the village of Crestline high up in the mountains above San Bernardino and in New Orleans, where he lives part of the year. He also wrote and recorded in Joshua Tree at the studio of engineer Christopher Thorn. Whigs' guitarist Jon Skibic and multi-instrumentalist Rick G. Nelson, Mathias Schneeberger (Twilight Singers), pedal steel player upright bassist and physician Dr. Stephen Patt, guitarist Mark McGuire (Emeralds) and drummer Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age, the Mars Volta) all play on the album.
Dulli spoke to us via phone from Los Angeles.
Talk about the process of writing the songs for this album. You threw out most of the early tunes?
I don't throw them away. I file them away and many times they make their way back in. For instance, one of the songs on this record is called "The Ghost," and I originally started that one four years ago and came back to it. You just have to get them when it's their time. I brought it back. The bulk of the record was written between February and July of last year. Eight or nine of them were written then. That's a good hot hand for me. If I'm getting a song a month or two songs a month, I'm doing well.
Are you feeling your mortality these days?
You don't get halfway to a hundred and not feel your mortality.
How'd you wind up at Joshua Tree?
[Producer] Christopher Thorn is my dear friend and collaborator. He and his family have a house in Silverlake and a house in Joshua Tree. Last spring, they decided to stay in Joshua Tree full-time. He was moving his studio out there. To continue working with Christopher, I had to go where he was. Luckily, I love his place. I've been recording at Joshua Tree for 20 years. This was more of a full sail thing. I spent two months there, not in a row but all put together. I would go for a week or two weeks at a time until we got it all done. It's a great creative place. It's nice and quiet. There aren't a lot of distractions and I can get a lot done. Christopher Thorn is one of my all-time favorite collaborators. We work very well together.
What made you want to handle all the instrumentation?
I played most of it. I started out as a drummer. I'm not in danger of taking anyone's drummer job. For the songs that I was doing and I play drums on, I was the perfect drummer. When someone else is the drummer that means I didn't do as well on that one. The other great thing about playing all the instruments is that I don't have to wait for anyone. I don't have get anyone's schedule. I just go and do it. It happens when it happens. There's someone joining me on every song. That's because I like what they do and what they brought to the song.
I'm not going to play everything just to say I played everything. I'll play everything to a point. My mission each and every time is to get the best song possible, however that happens.
"Pantomima" has a great guitar riff driving it. Is that you playing guitar on it?
I'm playing guitar, but John Skibic is also playing guitar. The first guitar you hear is Jon Skibic.
What's the inspiration for the tune?
I was working on another song and a lot of times when I'm doing a check for another instrument for the engineer, he'll ask me to give him something. I'll start playing something, and I can't tell you how many times that will turn into a new song. "Pantonima" happened that way. It just kind of happens. The inspiration was put upon me by the riff itself.
"Marry Me" is one of the quieter tunes on the album, but it's one of my favorite songs. Talk about its genesis.
It was one of the first new songs that I wrote for the record. It was just after Christmas. I don't always do well with winter. I tend to be a bit more melancholy than I am other times of the year. I was just feeling something. That one just appeared. There's some songs that I don't write as much as I channel. "Marry Me" came out fully formed. I wrote it quickly at like 3 in the morning.
I'm surprised it was the first one you wrote for the album because the other songs are rougher around the edges. I guess it didn't dictate the direction that you went in for the album.
That was the first new one that I had come up with. I had already decided "The Ghost" and "Scorpio" were already in the pool. Again, it happened in that amorphous way. It told me, "Get a guitar and take down dictation from beyond." I was like, "Alright. I'm happy to help."
Who sings the other distorted vocals on "Scorpio?"
That's me. I used a pitch shifter. It's the same trick Prince used in "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and Bob George did that too. You can be whoever you wanna be. Never let reality shake you off the mountain.
That voice is spooky.
Yeah. And with the series of questions it asked, I got to inhabit another personality. It was really fun.
"Slow Pan" makes for such a great album closer.
I'm an album guy. When I make things, they have a beginning, a middle and an end. The beginning is very important, and the ending is crucial. It's the end of the movie. There's an Italian artist named Paolo Conte who has a particular style of playing. It's almost sort of like sensual nursery rhymes. He's a piano player. I was channeling Paolo Conte and I was trying to play one of his songs. I couldn't do it because he's a jazzer, and that meant it would be a difficult thing for the rudimentary likes of me. "Slow Pan" is my attempt at writing a Paolo Conte song. Once I finished the riff and had the melody and sang it, I put on some more dressing. I really heard a harp on it the entire time. I called a friend of mine and his girlfriend played harp on it. First time, I ever had a harp on a song, and I was thrilled.
What will the shows be like?
I have a band. I have a five-piece band, and we're going to play this record and some selected cover songs and a large swath of Twilight Singers music and perhaps a deep Whigs cut or two. Since they're still an ongoing entity, I will most likely shy away from that.

GIC Housing's Results on July 17th, Shines on Dividend Payout
GIC Housing Finance has scheduled its board meeting on July 17th, for the purpose of approving and announcing the latest quarterly results. Meanwhile, the small-cap housing finance company, promoted by public sector general insurance majors, continues to be in focus due to its long track-record and growing level of dividend payouts every year.
GIC is focused on a lucrative segment of home loans comprising of first-time buyers with average ticket-size of Rs. 15 lakhs. One of its key geographical focus areas include the high-growth market of Mumbai suburbs.
Despite turning ex-dividend on its latest annual payout recently, GIC Housing stock has not fallen significantly, as it has a long track-record in rising dividend payouts, and also because it's quarterly result is just days ahead on July 17th.
An investment of Rs. 2,50,000 in GIC Housing Finance, done 14 years back, would have returned Rs. 12.05 lakhs as just annual dividends itself. All these returns as tax-free. This year alone, GIC Housing is delivering a dividend of Rs. 1,96,850 or nearly Rs. 2 lakhs against that old Rs. 2.5 lakh investment.
Surprised? You should be, as this happens in a country and its stock market where even big and mighty stocks are known to stand still, or destroy wealth, or pay pebbles as dividend for years. But wait till you hear the full story.
The tax-free returns of Rs. 12,05,000 was just the dividend. What happened to your capital of Rs. 2.5 lakh? Well, it just went on and multiplied and multiplied and became Rs. 1.13 crore recently. Rising more than 45 times within 14 years. Again, this too is tax-free as it is capital gains from equity.
In fact, the real returns from this Joint Sector Housing Finance Company (HFC) would be much bigger for its long-term investors if they had subscribed to its two Rights Issues during this 14-year period, that came at hefty discounts.
You may not hear GIC as topping the charts in any of the headline metrics like loan-book growth or NIM growth or profit growth. GIC has always been a slow and steady kind of performer, expanding and compounding its business slowly but surely. But sometimes that is only what is needed.
With too much speed comes the associated pitfalls, like too much equity dilution that would have hurt its shareholders whenever the housing finance market went through sluggish phases. Instead, GIC has survived for this great age, when housing finance is all set to enter its greatest and fastest growth phase ever, now.
Under its MD & CEO Warendra Sinha's leadership, GIC too is getting ready for this phase with accelerated branch expansions and more innovative products, backed by a borrowing target of Rs. 400 crore for this ongoing fiscal.
What sets apart GIC from its comparable peers by size is its generous dividend policy that kept on increasing from 10% of its Face Value, 14 years back, to 13% to 15% to 30% to 40% to 45% to 50% to 55% to 60%, over the years.
Not too long back, GIC had paid one-third or 33% of its net profit as dividends, in line with what the best companies in the world pay out as dividends, especially when they keep that fine balance between dividends and re-investment for growth.

Renovation Highlights
For 50 years, the Green Hills Family YMCA has been serving our community.
Back when a gallon of gas was only 40 cents, Walt Disney World first opened its doors and Starbucks poured its first cup of coffee, our Y opened as a community hub committed to helping all people grow in spirit, mind and body. And we've done it nearly every day since.
Follow our Facebook page for the latest project updates.
Help make the dream a reality by giving your time, talent or financial resources in support of The Next 50 capital campaign.
A history of growth
The story really began in 1965 when plans were announced for the 'Southwest Nashville Family Center.' Two years later, 8.5 acres of land was donated by Horace G. Hill Jr. for its permanent home on Hillsboro Road.
For the next four years, Mr. Hill alongside John Bransford led fundraising efforts for the initial capital campaign to build the facility. On August 15, 1971, we first opened our doors as the Southwest Family Branch YMCA. In 1982, the facility was renamed the Green Hills Family YMCA.
By that time, we had already outgrown our space as the community around us continued to grow and thrive. Plans were developed to expand our facility in multiple phases, which would take place via seven capital campaigns over the next 21 years.
A bold vision for The Next 50
With decades of experience behind us, we at the Green Hills Family YMCA are well-positioned to impact the lives of the people we serve and the community we are lucky to call home.
The Next 50 renovation plan addresses the growing needs of our community and the limitations of our current facility. A thoughtfully designed, fully accessible and modern space will provide an environment that supports social, mental and physical health for all.

Q: ¿Cómo promedio variables por fila? Quiero promediar las filas en dos columnas diferentes (TempA y TempB) y almacenar el resultado en una nueva variable.
TempA     humedad    TemB

20          52      22
42          35      25
NA          62      28
22          60      32
18          85      NA #Para los casos NA, quisiera que se conservara el
valor registrado sin promediar

De tal manera que el resultado sea:
TempA     humedad    TemB     TempC

20          52      22         21
42          35      25         33.5
NA          62      28         28
22          60      32         27
18          85      NA         18

A: Asumiendo que tus datos se llaman datos
datos <- structure(list(TempA = c(20, 42, NA, 22, 18),
                        humedad = c(52, 35, 62, 60, 85),
                        TempB = c(22, 25, 28, 32, NA)),
                        class = "data.frame",
                        row.names = c(NA, -5L))

datos$TempC <- apply(datos[ ,c(1,3)], 1, mean, na.rm = TRUE)

Explicación
apply aplica una función a una matriz o data frame. En este caso es al data frame datos en las columnas 1 y 3 con datos[ , c(1,3)]. Es importante es espacio antes de la coma, eso significa que se va a aplicar la función a todas las filas. El número 1 le indica a apply que debe operar por filas. Con 2 aplicaría la función por columnas.
La función que aplicamos es mean, que calcula la media. A pasarle el argumento na.rm = TRUE ignora los valores perdidos en el cálculo de la media. Por defect con na.rm = FALSE regresa NA cuando un vector contiene al menos un valor NA.
Por último con <- asignamos el output resultante de apply (un vector) a una nueva columna llamada TempC del data frame datos.

A: Otra forma "base" bastante performante es usar directamente rowMeans()
df$TempC <- rowMeans(df[, c(1,3)], na.rm = TRUE)
df

  TempA humedad TemB TempC
1    20      52   22  21.0
2    42      35   25  33.5
3    NA      62   28  28.0
4    22      60   32  27.0
5    18      85   NA  18.0

School in the sewage!
HUDDERSFIELD primary school pupils went on a tour of Yorkshire Water's treatment works at Sheffield.
Twenty-eight youngsters from St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Dalton were given a high-tech Baddies In The Works tour of the company's Ewden-based education centre.
The pupils, aged nine and 10, were shown how the treatment works bring water to the taps in 4.7m homes in Yorkshire.
As well as listening to a guide, they were given information via state-of- the-art headsets as they walked around the works.
Yorkshire Water community affairs manager Anne Reed said: "We have been running our education centres for over two years and the response has been fantastic."
Any primary school wanting its pupils to go on one of the tours can call Anne Reed on 01274 692515.

Cold case solved after murdered mom, son ID'd after 2 decades
FILE: Investigators have linked two unidentified bodies that were discovered 215 miles apart in separate states 20 years ago as mother and son.
(Orange County, NC, Sheriff's Office via AP)
The unidentified bodies of a woman and a 10-year-old boy found along an interstate in separate states 20 years ago have been identified thanks to an online DNA database, international police, and authorities in North Carolina and South Carolina.
Investigators, who had no idea until December 2018 that the two victims were related, said Tuesday that the boy was Robert "Bobby" Adam Whitt and the woman, Myoung Hwa Cho, his mother, a Korean immigrant.

The victims' relatives said they thought Cho had taken Whitt back to Korea to raise him. The boy's father, who is serving time in federal prison on unrelated charges, has confessed to killing the boy and his mother, Spartanburg County Sheriff's Lt. Kevin Bobo said. Charges may not be filed until investigators know exactly where the two victims were killed, Bob added.
The boy's remains were found in September 1998 by workers on a frontage road near I-85 in Durham, N.C. DNA testing showed he had Asian and Caucasian parents. South Carolina authorities found an unidentified woman whose nude body was dumped in the woods beside I-85 in May 1998, Bobo said.

Investigators in both states said they had never stopped trying to solve the 1998 cases that they never knew were related, separated by 215 miles along I-85, The News & Observer reported.
Consultant Dr. Barbara Rae-Venter – whose work with online DNA databases helped lead to the arrest of the Golden State Killer – reviewed the latest DNA tests on Whitt's body, and was able to match his DNA with a close relative who had submitted the information to an online database. Korean authorities and international police helped identify the woman and link her to the boy.
