Make Mine a Double #16: Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" (1975)
More of an urban legend than a recording that people listen to in any conventional sense, Lou Reed's infamous Metal Machine Music may be the most uncompromising album in the annals of "rock" history. It consists entirely of shrieking guitar feedback and high-pitched processed electronic noise. In its original vinyl form, each of its four sides ending with an abrupt tape slice at a listed time sixteen minutes and one second. With this work, Reed took the concept of "full artist control" to its defiant extreme, although exactly why has been the subject of a decades-long debate. Was it a giant F-U to RCA Records, who was pushing him to release a new record when he felt he wasn't ready? Was it an earnest tribute to electronic music pioneers like LaMonte Young? A perverse attempt at career suicide? During his lifetime, Reed variously implied "yes" to the first two questions (while many pundits in 1975 suggested the third), the real motives behind this sonic assault may never be fully resolved. All for the better: both reviled and revered for pretty much the same reason—namely, that it ever saw the light of day bearing the imprint of one of the world's biggest record companies—Metal Machine Music remains one of rock's great conversation pieces, even if the number of folks who have listened to all sixty-four minutes could fit comfortably inside a minivan.
If you want to claim a place inside that minivan, here's your chance.
Of course, Reed was no stranger to controversy before this. He was a primary figure in the Velvet Underground, the legendary band that countered the prevailing Aquarian ethos of the late 1960s with odes to heroin, S&M and the gritty New York City demimonde in general—pre-figuring punk by a full decade. Anyone that's heard the atonal rave-up at the end of their first album, or the transgressive 17-minute anti-epic "Sister Ray" on their second, knew that Reed was an envelope pusher. But that stuff sounded like the Carpenters compared to MMM, where the last vestiges of actual music was swept away in favor of pure ear-splitting white noise. Reed took variously-tuned guitars, set them to face directly into their own amps, then fed the resulting feedback into a self-generating loop of reverb, ring oscillators and God knows what-all, then mixed it for maximum effect. The media response was swift in coming though not all had the expected reaction of scorn or disbelief, as seen in the initial Creem magazine review.
In a rebuttal review for the March 1976 issue of Creem, uber-critic Lester Bangs called it "the greatest album ever made" (his Number Two? Kiss Alive!, of course) and listed 17 reasons to back up his assertion. These included the album's handy application as a "guaranteed lease-breaker" or as a way to "clear all the crap out of your head." Metal Machine Music became a bit of an obsession with Bangs who, like Reed, was apt to stretch the boundaries of his chosen craft. In the same magazine a month before, in a piece called "How to Succeed in Torture Without Really Trying", the two of them tangled in an interview where Reed shifted effortlessly from monster to mensch, while making a series of outlandish claims about a record he thought was one of his best. Supposedly there are sections of MMM where there are 7,000 different melodies going on at once (anyone care to count?) and Reed also insisted he wedged snippets of Bach, Vivaldi and Beethoven into this unholy squall. A little more plausible is the assertion that he snuck onto the record "dangerous frequencies" banned by the FCC, which likely had a subliminal appeal to the "hate buffs" and "drug-numbed weirdos" that Bangs saw as the albums natural constituency.
Lou and the Metal Machine trio, performing in 2010.
Love it or hate it, it's clear that in his own way Reed took this work seriously even if he couldn't always bring himself to say so at the time. Nowadays, when anything this radical wouldn't rise head high above the underground (never mind emanate from a major artist on the imprint of a media conglomerate) MMM will always get its props in certain circles. When pop mediocrity is usually what one gets from the "major artists" ruling what is left of the charts, the creative audacities of a lost era become greatly enhanced. Even Reed's Berlin, his 1973 exquisite downer of a concept album about doomed junkie lovers (which upset Rolling Stone's reviewer so much that he professed a desire to kill its maker) is now performed as if in repertory and made into a concert film. Metal Machine Music is too wickedly spontaneous to get that treatment, though in 2010 Reed did perform with an avant combo called the Metal Machine Trio, inspired by you-know-what. Like the endless locked groove its maker slyly worked into the end of side four of the original vinyl edition, this work has stubbornly held its ground and been reflected in the noisy experiments of everyone from Neil Young and Crazy Horse to Sonic Youth to Radiohead. It has thrived in the Internet age, bringing out the wise guy in everyone. YouTube comments range from "Does anyone have this transcribed for ukulele" to "Kids today don't understand great music like this." Middle-aged respectability is probably something Reed never expected for this record when he foisted it on world so long ago.

I normally listen to music as I'm drifting off to sleep, and I went through a phase for several months where nothing but Metal Machine Music (at low volume) would do.
That's the first time I've heard of MMM being used as a sleep aid. I will say, though, it can have a very hypnotic effect.

For the most part, Saturday market time is Me Time. C is out mountain biking in, oh, some mountain somewhere. Little C is asleep or playing with the nanny. Weekend activities have yet to start, or even be planned. It's a quiet pocket of morning that is all mine. Going over the fresh produce, seeing the new offerings from our local farms, chatting with the purveyors, (tasting all the free samples!), finding something to take home for breakfast.
I walk to my neighborhood weekend market with my bags in tow. If it looks like rain I take my battered umbrella (a fake-y Barca one we had to procure on our honeymoon during a rainy jaunt to Cadaques). The walk in itself is a time for reflection (and probably the only exercise I get every week…I know, don't even say it). A gentle reminder to be grateful for the blessings in my life, both big and small – my family, a market that is a short walk away, coffee, hot showers & cold sheets, warm soup on a rainy night.
And all the artisans and experts, the zealous and new, along with the experienced though still as fervent, that cross my path. One of my favorites is a pair of Chinese ladies who make and sell homemade dim sum and noodles. They man a small table brimming with siomai, wontons, kikiam, fresh noodles, lobster balls, XO sauce, and all sorts of things I want to make off with. The dim sum is frozen so you can keep some stored away in the freezer for emergency wonton noodle soup.
– Cook the egg noodles as per package directions and set aside.
– Place stock, ginger, and onion in a pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the onion is soft.
– Add the wontons into the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add bok choy and mushrooms and simmer a further 5-10 minutes or until everything is cooked.
– Add a splash or two of soy sauce to taste. Take the pot of the heat.
– Pile noodles in individual bowls. Pour soup over the noodles making sure each serving gets some vegetables and wontons. Garnish each serving with sliced green onions.
This soup hits the spot on a rainy night after a tough day of work when you both want something homespun and nourishing, but at the same time don't have the energy to prepare anything too involved. It's all a matter of getting your noodles done, and, at the same time, putting everything in another pot to cook. We like it with some chili oil or chili-garlic oil (the type you have with siomai) drizzled on top. The volumes are far from specific as you can add as little or as much as you want (or you have). Switch the enoki with shitake or add more fresh herbs to garnish — you can get as fancy or as bare-bones as you want with this. This version, as the title implies, is very basic…great as is but also good to build on. Until I finally attempt making my own wontons, my two ladies have got me covered. Recipe suggestions are very welcome though!
Love! I must get some of these wontons. And Me Time is definitely a necessity to keeping one's sanity. I hope to see you soon!!
Oh I'm so jealous, you live within walking distance to a weekend market? I have to brave edsa to get to one! Love your recipe for the noodle soup, the picture is making me crave for one right now, it looks so delicious!
Oh those wontons look so so good! Even better than the one's I've had in Hong kong!
I absolutely love this dish. I guess it's because of our ties to HK that these noodle soups is at the top of my comfort food list.
I make this all the time at home and it definitely hits the spot when the chill of fall and winter comes rolling in.
A true HK-bred girl like me often craves for wonton soup on a rainy night like this! I'm gonna whip me up some of this tomorrow after my grocery run.
Hi Iyor! They have other things as well, like siomai and homemade noodles! 🙂 See you soon!
Hi Mieke! HK! That's where we first met 🙂 I agree, this truly is a comfort, especially when it is cold or rainy out!
Hi Martine! Didn't know you lived in HK! Hope you enjoyed the soup!
I'd love to run over to the Salcedo Market this weekend to sample those dumplings for myself, but alas, I'll be in QC! Still, that soup looks incredibly delish.
Cheers, too, to classic comfort food! Wonton soup ALWAYS hits the spot for me. Just like chicken noodle soup and arroz caldo… Enjoy the long weekend!
Hi Arlu! That is so true! That was a great lesson I learned when I was working out of the country and had to spend a lot of time alone 🙂 Arroz caldo is another one of my favorites…so healing!
Totally agree with the "me" time! With Good Food, home massages, watching nice movies/plays, cool music, a good book,etc-such bliss!
I am so happy I found your blog – and this recipe! I've been looking for a quick-fix wonton soup and this will fit the bill! Thank you for the inspiration!
When I don't feel well I always skip the chicken noodle and go straight for the wonton soup. Thanks for the ideas!
This looks delish! Can't wait to make us some!
Time for Simple Wonton Noodle Soup for breakfast.
Great site. Thanks for sharing your delicious food with us.
Comfort food chinese style! Mmmmhhhmm! I have similar ingredients in the pantry right now. Will be making this when I stand up. Looks very good and I bet it is.

Thesis: Media Bias in the International Media People
Pages: 8 (2603 words) · Style: MLA · Bibliography Sources: 4 · Level: College Senior · Topic: Communication - Journalism · Buy This Paper
Bias in the International Media
People all over the world depend on news agencies to find out what is happening in the world around them. Humans are curious by nature and like to know what others are doing. They depend on news agencies to provide them with the information that they seek. They expect that information to be true and as honest as possible. Standards dictate that good journalism presents both sides of a story and digs for the roots of the situation. It does not favor one side or the other and presents the facts in a fair manner. However, the question asked of every reader is if these goals are achieved.
The following will look at two of the most well read domestic news sources and it will compare them to two of the most popular foreign news agencies. It will analyze them for both the different types of stories that they cover and the slant, if any, that they place on them. The analysis will focus on headline news only. These sources were followed for one week and are summarized as follows.
1.0 New York Times October 26-November 2, 2009
The biggest headline in the New York Times was the U.S. War with Iraq. Rather then presenting unbiased information about the war, this article presented the personal opinion of the reporter on the results of the long and bloody war that has been going on since 2003. The article strongly suggests that the war has done little to change the social scene in Iraq or to change sectarian ideology. The author feels that the divide between the different factions in Iraq has a long and traditional history. The author does not feel that the American presence has or will have any effect on changing the social attitudes that breed hatred in Iraq. This article only provides one side of the article.
H1N1 was a big news item for the week in the New York Times. A number of articles in the New York Times this week focused on the swine flu. Topics included a shortage of vaccines, shortages of ventilators, and other issues concerning the flue epidemic in the United States. One of the key articles probes the issue of who should receive a limited number of ventilators in light of the flu pandemic that is currently sweeping the country. Public health officials fear that rationing of ventilators will fuel social unrest. The purpose of the article was to increase public awareness of the potential crisis. It could be accused of sensationalism, although the potential scenario painted in the article is a real threat. It uses an emotional appeal to stress the importance of the problem.
The three biggest newsmakers in the New York Times for the week were, in no particular order, the H1N1 epidemic, the financial crisis in the U.S., personal views on the war with Iraq. News articles on the war with Iraq tend to stay away from real facts now and have degraded to editorial-type articles that somehow make their way into prominent positions within the paper. Articles no longer provide daily casualties or reports on intended strategies.
2.0 National Public Radio (NPR).
H1N1 was also the key topic of National Public Radio for the past week. In one article, concern over any problems with the vaccine was highlighted. Health officials are carefully monitoring to make certain that there are no reported problems with the vaccine. They claim that there have been no reported problems, but data is beginning to come in that suggests otherwise. The article provides both sides of the story and simply highlights the dilemma being faced by health officials without giving any particular opinion.
Another article explores the issue of marketing difficulties with the flu vaccine. Both of the articles on NPR focused on the need to convince the public that they should get the flu vaccine and of its safety. Eroding public confidence in the government is a key factor in the ability to convince people that they need to get the flu vaccine.
NPR reported on a suicide bomber in a Pakistani militant operation. Other than that, domestic issues dominated the news for the past week. Frontline, a product of PBS focused on the war with Iraq and the situation in the Middle East. Articles focused on Tehran and protests around the world the centered on the topic. Between Pakistan and Iran, Frontline tended to support Iran, demonstrating Pakistani attempts to provoke or harm the Iranians.
Coverage on Iraq included the establishment of a fund to help Iraq rebuild. Other coverage includes news on Obama's plans to withdraw troops by next August and the affect of the elections in Iraq to delay this action. The NPR account of troop withdrawal simply stated the facts. It presented both the Iraqi side and Obama's side. It did not seem to support the viewpoint of either. NPR also presented a factual account of H1N1 fears among the Iraqi people.
3.0 People's Daily
The People's Daily is one of the most widely read English papers in China. As with U.S. papers, the H1N1 virus topped the headlines concerning a number of issues. The Chinese Ministry of Health has officially disapproved of an online rumor that the H1N1 outbreak in Beijing was caused by the vaccine itself. The H1N1 virus continues to be a source of public fear in China. The Chinese health minister has issued statements designed to ease the fears of the Chinese people.
Articles focused on efforts to contain the virus. In general, the articles highlighted the success of government programs to contain the virus. Reading these articles contrasted with those in the New York Times, which highlighted the problems and the inability of the U.S. government to avert disaster. The Chinese articles had a positive spin and appeared as a means to pacify fears in the public.
Other news commented that President Obama has declared Karzai the official leader of Afghanistan. The story was short and factual, with no apparent bias. Another article on the same topic was also found with the same straight-forward approach. The second article told that Obama plans to increase troops to Afghanistan to ward off the Taliban. The U.S. war with Iraq does receive some coverage in the People's Daily. The articles found were very factual in nature and did not take a personal view on either the war or the actions. It limits its reporting of the events to the number of troops killed and any factual actions by both sides.
The People's Daily reported on the adoption of a resolution honoring the birthday of Confucius. The article interprets as a positive sign that Chinese culture is being accepted around the world. In general, the People's Daily reports news from other countries as factual, attempting to put no bias on it. However, news about the Chinese and tends to highlight the positive accomplishments of the Chinese people, such as building the world's largest Internet infrastructure and a positive financial outlook. The People's Daily paints China is a decidedly positive light, but is careful not to insult other nations. In the People's Daily, one did not find articles about crime and social problems. Domestic news in the People's Daily focused on diplomatic visits and tended to accentuate the positive.
4.0 BBC
Coverage of the H1N1 virus took a backseat to other headlines in the BBC. It may be noted that the BBC tends to use the term "Swine Flu" over the term "H1N!" In its news coverage. The cultural reason for this is not known, it is just an observation. Coverage of the virus urges the Brits to "brace" against it. The BBC provides an interactive global map to track the spread of the disease. A special report on the flu told Brits what to look for and its affects certain demographic populations. The report was factual and provided much better public information than the sensationalized reports found in the New York Times.
BBC is not only the most widely read news agency in England, but also has a huge international readership as well. It may be noted that the careful avoidance of anything negative about China in People's Daily did not apply to the BBC. News highlighted the jailing of a Chinese crime Godmother and the XinJiang violence. The BBC was highly critical of the police action in XinJiang, which was called an effort to increase stability in the People's Daily. A trip around the globe via the BBC reveals a disproportionate number of stories about criminals that have been caught and jailed. The BBC decidedly supports U.S. President Obama and his efforts to restart Middle Eastern peace talks.
Concerning the BBC's coverage on the U.S. War in Iraq's, coverage tended to highlight Great Britain's role in the war, particularly UK casualties. The BBC terms the U.S. presence in Iraq an "invasion," suggesting that it does not support previous U.S. actions. It highlights the negative impact of the war on… [END OF PREVIEW]

Perfumes are cosmetics, which we can't see, where we wear them, but they can make our mood completely better. Good fragrance is very important, that's why today I share with you my favourite five fragrances.
Chic, elegancy, romantism, happiness everything closet in small, beutiful bottle. Crystal with silver bow. This small, pink perfume, absolutely my favourite one.. Yes, It's Miss Dior BLOOMING Bouquet. Fresh, sweet, very delicate smell makes me happy... when I saw them when I was in Barcelona I bought them withouth thinking, it was really good decision.
Armani wanted to create a daytime scent that would make every woman feel happy, strong, glamorous and feminine. A very subtle and elegant fragrance, « Sì » can be worn by day or by night. Ireally love them, but think that the best time to use them is in winter, because day's are grey, short, dark. This fragrance will help us to stay happy.
Completly new in my colection, Eternity Moment by Calvin Klein. I'm very happy every time I buy a new bottle of perfumes. Every fragrance is made, because of story.The composition of floral aromas bursting with richness. It makes every woman stronger. That's why this fragrance is simple but unique. Every woman and girl should try it.
COCO CHANEL MADEMOISELLE. It was one of my first fragrances I bought. Timeless and classic. That's this fragrance. I don't know woman who don't like this smell. Delicate and sweet, but strong. Perfect fragrance, closed in such a beutifull bottle. For me liquid gold in every blob.
The last fragrance.. Christina Aguilera. Made by one of my favourite singers. It was gift. First I wasn't confident to this smell, but now I really love them. They are strong, usually I don't like perfumes like that. But after few minutes it's going sweeter and lighter. That's why I love them.
Wow! Amazing pictures & perfumes dear!

Fort Louise, a chef-driven neighborhood restaurant, opens Friday with a prominent name in the kitchen.
Chef-driven neighborhood restaurant Fort Louise opens Friday with a prominent chef in the kitchen.
Nashville boutique owner Jessica Bower has partnered with Chicago-based chef Greg Biggers to open the restaurant at 1304 McGavock Pike in the former Perk & Cork building in Inglewood.
Biggers has spent nearly two decades working in some of the most acclaimed kitchens in the country, include Charleston's McCrady's, Chicago's TRU and Philadelphia's Morimoto. Jonathan Hawks, formerly of Capitol Grille, has been tapped as chef de cuisine.
Biggers will remain in his current position as executive chef at Chicago's Cafe des Architectes at the Sofitel Hotel while he takes on the Nashville project.
Indeed, Fort Louise offers a more casual atmosphere in a converted house with a back porch patio and a light-filled, intimate space.
The restaurant will serve unique twists on American comfort foods for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The dinner menu separates items by snacks, salads and large plates with dishes ranging from $5 for spiced edamame with chili-garlic sauce and grated cheese to $24 for marinated hanger steak with Boursin polenta, roasted carrots and chimichurri sauce.
Weekend brunch options include a hashbrown waffle with poached eggs, hollandaise and gruyere cheese for $13; challah French toast with cream cheese glaze, strawberries and candied pecans for $12; and a burger with American cheese, sauce, potato bun and fries or a salad for $11.
The beverage program includes craft cocktails, craft beer and wine. A feature on the cocktails list is The Test, a shareable punch made with lemon juice, pineapple, coconut rum and dark rum.
An Alabama native, Bower's resume is impressively diverse; she was an online professor at the College of Charleston; owned a liquor store in Alabama with her brother; managed her family's corporate real estate; and worked at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in the education department. She's held a range of positions in the hospitality industry, including front-of-house jobs at Charleston's FIG and Pittsburgh's Dinette. She also took an accelerated curriculum at pastry school in France.
Bower moved to East Nashville last year and opened Steluta boutique in December.
Fort Louise will be open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; for dinner from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday; and for brunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant will be closed on Mondays.

Q: Line Follower Robot Using Stm32 I'm trying to build a line follower robot using STM32 F334R8, L298N motor driver, three KY-033 sensors, and two 6V DC motors. I'm using stm cube ide. Sensors and driver work just fine but motors don't have any movement with this code. If I manually change outputs as high, motors work but not with the code. I'm new to stm32 programming so I don't know why my code doesn't work. Please help me find the wrong or missing parts.( M1_En = PB13 = right motor enable pin, M2_En = PC5 = left motor enable pin)

Q: Display value in view In this codeigniter model i have this query testing if value entered in input exists in database..
 function get_search_form() {
     $match = $this->input->post('search1');
     $this->db->where('numero',$match);
     $this->db->where('inscris','non');
     $q = $this->db->get('transaction');
     if($q->num_rows()>0)
      {
      foreach($q->result() as $row)
      {
        $data[] = $row;
      }
       return $data;
     }
}

Behold the controller i'd like to display value grabbed in input in view inscription.php
  function search()
  {
    $data['row'] = $this->site_model->get_search_form();
    $this->load->view('acceuil/aside');
    $this->load->view('acceuil/inscription', $data);
  }

My issue is how to display in that view  input value and a form if this value exists in database ?
  I have tried like this but i need help :
inscription view:
<?=form_open('navigation/search');?>

<input type="text" name="search1" id="search1" required />
<input type='submit' value='Display' />
<?=form_close();?>

I try to display the form like this but i don't know how to display as well the input value entered
  <?php
     if( $row > 0 )
     {
  ?>
  les champs du formulaire ici....
  <?php
     }else
      { }
   ?>

A: you can access $data global object like this check
<?php
     if( isset($row))
     {
         foreach($row as $v){
            //Do the operations here
         }
     }else
      {
          //Do the operations here
      }
?>

A: In your view you can check if the variable $row is not null (because it will be null when no rows are found):
if ($row !== null) {
  // do stuff
}

You can modify the model function to return some other value if no rows are found, for example, by setting the $data to an empty array:
function get_search_form() {
     $match = $this->input->post('search1');
     $this->db->where('numero',$match);
     $this->db->where('inscris','non');
     $q = $this->db->get('transaction');
     $data = array();  // <--- here
     if($q->num_rows()>0)
      {
      foreach($q->result() as $row)
      {
        $data[] = $row;
      }
       return $data;
     }
}

And then in the view you can simply loop the data:
foreach($row as $r) {
  // do stuff
}

or you can implode the array to use as the input value:
<input type="text"
       name="search1"
       id="search1" required
       value="<?php echo implode(' ', $row); ?>" />

You could also use html entities here, in case double quotes are possible to appear in what your model function returns (I have no idea what it returns).

Delhi Civic body polls: AAP wins 107 seats, BJP lags behind
As the counting of votes progresses in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi polls, both Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are claiming to win the polls but the latest trends suggest AAP securing 107 seats so far and leading in 25; while the BJP is leading on 20 wards (winning 85) so far
Dec 7, 2022, 02:03 pm IST
in Bharat, Delhi
New Delhi: As the counting of votes progresses in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi polls, both Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are claiming to win the polls but the latest trends suggest AAP securing 107 seats so far and leading in 25; while the BJP is leading on 20 wards (winning 85) so far.
Speaking to ANI, BJP leader Parvesh Verma said that the people of Delhi have seen the "lies" of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and have voted for the BJP. "The people of Delhi know about Kejriwal's lies and are happy with the work by the MCD. There could be some anti-incumbency because of the 15-year-long rule. The people have seen the work that we have done during COVID and for the parks and hospitals. I am sure that we will win the elections," he said. AAP MP Raghav Chadha said that BJP covered the city in the garbage and the AAP will clean the city once it wins the polls.
"Mayor will be from AAP. BJP had covered Delhi in the garbage, it'll be cleaned and Arvind Kejriwal's govt will be formed in MCD. People of Delhi had decided to bring AAP in MCD so that Delhi become clean and beautiful," he said.
Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) crossed the halfway mark in the counting of votes in 250 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections, as per the latest trends on Wednesday, hinting that the exit polls which predicted the party's edge were right.
The high-decibel battle which was fought in the election campaign ahead of the polling on December 4, witnessed the claims and counter-claims by both parties (BJP, AAP) of winning the elections, however, it all boils down to December 7 when the outcome of the election would be revealed.
The polls for 250 wards in the national capital were held on December 4 with about 50 per cent voter turnout and a total of 1,349 candidates were in the fray. However, the low voter turnout may not be an indicator of pro-incumbency with the exit polls predicting the AAP win in the MCD polls.
Congress, which is mostly focussing on the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, was not predicted (in the exit polls) to be a prominent challenger in the recently conducted polling. The party is predicted to get only a handful of seats. However, the high-stakes civic polls are largely seen as a three-way contest between the BJP, the AAP and the Congress.
For the counting, the Commission has set up 42 counting centres across the city. 68 Election Observers have already been deployed by the Commission under whose supervision the counting of votes shall be carried out by the Returning Officers in the presence of candidates or their representatives.
Further, the Commission has also deployed 136 engineers from Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL) at these counting centres to attend to any technical issues regarding the EVMs which may arise during the counting of votes. Special Media Rooms to facilitate viewing of live results on the Commission's web portal on the LED screens at these 42 counting centres.
These centres are under multi-layered security and entry of persons authorized by the Commission shall only be allowed by the security personnel deployed at these centres. Delhi had witnessed highly charged campaigning by AAP and BJP which made top leaders, including Union ministers, chief ministers of BJP-ruled states and MPs hit the streets for door-to-door campaigning and meetings to garner public support.
The BJP, which has governed the civic body in Delhi since 2007, is looking to maintain its winning streak. This was the first civic election after the fresh delimitation exercise. There were 272 wards in Delhi and three corporations – NDMC, SDMC, and EDMC in Delhi from 2012-2022 that later reunified into an MCD that had formally come into existence on May 22. (ANI)

Why Is Gamification Effective?
According to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, an estimated 67% of households in the United States play video games, and the average gamer plays for 8 hours every week. Video games are no longer a new phenomenon. They haven't been for quite some time. But they are now more than ever a staple part of how millions of people spend their free time. Whether you're a serious World of Warcraft player or a Candy Crush addict, we all interact with digital games in some way.
Marketers can make use of the way games are integrated into our daily lives through a popular strategy called gamification – that is, applying game mechanics to non-game situations, such as advertising. Also referred to as "funware," a gamified experience may be digital or live but always has the goal of generating enthusiasm and guiding user behavior.
Games play into basic needs
People participate in gamified experiences for the same reason they play any game – the challenge is exciting, and the validation of gaining points or winning a prize feels good.
According to Scientific American, motivation can be divided into three categories: autonomy, value, and competence. Individuals feel more motivated when they feel in control, are working on a task they value, and feel capable of completing their goals and improving their skills.
Gamification hands the feeling of control or autonomy over to the user – no longer a passive viewer, the user can now direct their own experience, while still being guided enough that the desired message gets communicated.
The prospect of reward helps create a feeling of value in the activity, while levels and points validate users and make them feel both challenged and competent. All of these strategies can be found in both ordinary games and gamified marketing campaigns.
By using game strategies such as points, badges, levels, and leader-boards, you can keep your audience motivated, enthusiastic, and engaged with your message for longer.
Games are social
Multiplayer games have long captured the attention and enthusiasm of the gaming community, encouraging people to collaborate with each other in order to reach a goal or struggle together to defeat other teams. However, even single-player games can have a significant social component.
For example, video games may have leaderboards, or spaces where high-scorers are displayed so players can feel validated when they do well (or size up the competition!). Players may be able to challenge their friends or invite others to play.
Even live gamified experiences, such as the Samsung's All Eyes On The S4 campaign, engage more people than just the people participating. The audience of bystanders also get the brand experience.
Games encourage ongoing engagement
After participating in a live game experience, people will remember, share, and discuss the event. If you've managed to stand out from the crowd through a unique gamified strategy, that statement will reverberate.
Within apps and websites, gamification helps retain users by encouraging them to keep playing and gain more points, rewards, or simply discover more information.
Gamification is big time
The trend is currently on the rise, as companies like Domino's Pizza, Siemens, and IBM all utilize gamification to train employees, get feedback, and engage customers, but this is nothing new. Some may remember wasting away hours playing Cap'n Crunch's Crunchling Adventure back in 1999 only to find you needed more cereal.
There's no doubt that the legitimacy of gamification has been established for all kinds of businesses. The questions is: how will you apply it to yours? Have you thought about how to make your marketing just a little more fun?

Q: Returning multiple nodes when searching a tree/trie? I have constructed a suffix trie, a tree containing all the suffixes of a string, where each node contains only one character, with a SuffixNode at the end of each path which contains the locations of the suffixes within the string.
Let's say my trie contains the words, "Cat", "Car" and "Can" and I want to search for "Ca", the result should return 3 suffix nodes since the search string is found in 3 different places. I managed to search the tree for "Ca", but once I reach that point, I don't know how to continue traversing the children of the 'a' node to find all the suffix nodes.
I was thinking of using some sort of collection to add the suffix nodes to and then return the collection. Does this approach make sense, or are there better solutions?
I have solved the searching problem below. The reason it wasn't returning any nodes has to do with the creation of the tree and the differences between nodes:
public void SearchTrie(Node parent, String s, List<SuffixNode> suffixes)
    {
        Node n = FindNode(parent, s);
        FindSuffixes(n, suffixes);
    }

    private void FindSuffixes(Node parent,List<SuffixNode> suffixes)
    {
        if (parent is SuffixNode)
        {
            suffixes.Add((SuffixNode)parent);
        }
        else
        {
            foreach (KeyValuePair<char, Node> child in parent.children)
            {
                FindSuffixes(child.Value, suffixes);
            }
        }
    }

    private Node FindNode(Node parent, String s)
    {
        if ((s.Length == 1) && parent.children.ContainsKey(s[0]))
        {
            Node n = parent.children[s[0]];
            return n;
        }

        while (s[0].ToString() != "")
        {
            if (parent.children.ContainsKey(s[0]))
            {
                if ((s.Length > 1))
                {
                    return FindNode(parent.children[s[0]], s.Substring(1));
                }

            }
            else
            {
                break;
            }

        }

        return null;
    }

Node:
class Node
{
    public char label;
    public Node parent;
    public Dictionary<char,Node> children;

    public Node(Node NewParent, char NewLabel)
    {
        this.parent = NewParent;
        this.label = NewLabel;
        children=new Dictionary<char,Node>();
    }
}

A:
I was thinking of using some sort of collection to add the suffix nodes to and then return the collection.

That would be the first choice.

..., or are there better solutions?

There are other solutions, like

*

*filling a list supplied by the caller

*use an iterator block with yield return
But w/o any special requirements, fill a List<string> and return it as IEnumerable<string>.

I'm a good enough person to forgive, but not stupid enough to trust you again. Just because I make small talk when I run into you, doesn't mean I have forgotten the pain. Never mistake my civility for a hint I might want to be with you again. I DON'T! R.B.
There were many ways of breaking a heart.
whatever that dream might be.
Just because my eyes don't show tears, doesn't mean my heart is crying. Just because I am strong, doesn't mean nothing is wrong. I pretend I'm happy, so I don't have to explain to those who'll never understand. Smiling is easier than explaining. R.W.
that doesn't mean he is stupid.
that doesn't mean he is stubborn.
that doesn't mean he is a loser.
that doesn't mean he's just got addicted to her.
that doesn't mean he can't be with any other girl.
that he can't love any other girl in the same way.
In the bubble of our love, everything was good. Anger never lasted. Disappointment evaporated quickly. Grief passed. Everything was made better because of our love. Then I cheated and messed everything up. Where joy once was is now sadness. B.J.
who are standing outside all that.
What I felt for you began as love and deepened into almost worship. Thinking you were one of the most amazing people I've ever known was a self-told lie. Eventually I saw through you and became afraid. In time I grew to hate you and myself for loving you. A.B.
you knew no fear or hatred.
there was no possibility of love or hate.
And when there was hate, there was only hate.


I'm building a long-term, timelapse rig with and SD1000: small, robust, solar, cheap and DIY for remote applications.
The rig is in-development: using Ultimate Intervalometer v1.7; a 3.7v 6A LiPo; a 6V 2W panel.
Problem and Cause: the camera shuts down due to incoming voltage spikes greater than 5 volts (>5.0v). Camera seems to work in 4.0+ volts range. Have not recorded voltages for low battery shutdown yet.
1) Does anyone have estimates (observed or estimated) for voltage ranges (hi and lo) that this kind of camera operates within? I'm building a LDO voltage regulator for my system and easiest solution is to use a chip that supplies 3.3v. Does anyone have an opinion on whether this voltage is too low to power the camera?
2) How much current draw do you estimate for this camera shooting and writing a single picture (mA / picture) ? I'm using the script under the most power-saving settings that I can achieve.
I will post my values when I run the tests and do the math. Thanks!
I have notes that another cam with a 3.7v lipo pack started blinking the "low battery" icon around 3.47, and continued to run below 3.38.
FWIW, the ACK-DC40 clone I got for my D10 puts out about 4.2v (says 4.3 on the brick) and seems to work fine.
Thanks for the post and links reyalp.
I've ran a quick test on the stock NB-4L 760mA battery to get a baseline. It seems that the camera was ready to shutdown when the battery hit 3.7v. See my attachment which is a .jpg of a chart recording the voltage drop over the course of the test. It shows 2 lines: Day and Night Modes. Voltage drop (Y axis) over time (X axis).
Using the Ultimate Intervalometer script at 1 minute intervals with every power saving setting, I got about 160 pics before the camera entered 'Night Mode.' Interesting that the battery voltage went up a bit when the camera entered 'Night Mode.' It seemed to extend the battery for another 1.5 hours. The script ran for about 4 hours before I accidentally hit the 'Display' button and turned on the LCD - at that point it drained what was left of the battery and it shutdown.
I added trend lines and equations to the Day and Night mode plots. I'm going to run the test again today to see how many pics I can get with Day mode, and then run the script again in Night mode to see how long the battery lasts.
I tested the battery voltage before and after the test with a voltmeter. Before = 4.07v and After = 3.74v. It seems like other users are reporting lower voltages in the their cameras (which may be camera specific, I suppose.) These batteries are a couple of years old and are probably pretty 'tired' though... I guess I was expecting the battery to run down to 3.2 or so.
Does anyone have a good way to convert this voltage usage into mA used? From what I understand, I would need to know either the resistance of the circuit or power. I can't imagine that my test used all the 760 mA that the battery is rated for.
I'm hoping that the camera can run on 3.3v, because it makes the LDO voltage regulator a bit easier to build.
Does anyone have a good way to convert this voltage usage into mA used? From what I understand, I would need to know either the resistance of the circuit or power.
I can't imagine that my test used all the 760 mA that the battery is rated for.
Just for reference, your battery is rated as 760mAH - the H is important. It means the battery, when it was new, would put out 760 mA of current for one hour. Or 1520 mA of current for 30 minutes. Or 380 mA of current for 2 hours.
I've ran a quick test on the stock NB-4L 760mA battery to get a baseline. It seems that the camera was ready to shutdown when the battery hit 3.7v.
This seems odd, since the nominal voltage of a LiON battery should be ~3.7 volts. It will be a bit higher fresh off the charger, but I'd expect it to sag to 3.7ish pretty quickly.
It wouldn't be surprising if there was variation between individual cameras, but there has to be a calibrated value somewhere for the firmware to know when the battery is actually low. I would have expected the battery voltage function to return the calibrated value, but perhaps it doesn't.
The voltage will sag a bit under load, so when the logging is done relative to the power-hungry activities like shooting could affect the logged results.
Of course! I've looked right at it 100 times. This helps to be reminded of that.
That's what I thought too. When I accidentally hit the 'Display' button, the OSD battery voltmeter read ~3.2volts -> which I can see because it's powering the LCD. But I didn't expect the ending voltage to be 3.7 with the voltmeter.
Like I said, the battery that I ran it on was old (4+ years of good use). I'm running the Day mode test on a different, 760aH NB-4L battery right now. 2+ hours at 1 minute intervals and it's still plugging away. More on that when it's done.
I've finished up test #2 where I ran the Ultimate Intervalometer script to low voltage shutdown. The battery was an NB-4L 3.7v 760Ah battery.
I started at noon and it took pictures until 7pm at 1 minute intervals. At 7 the camera entered 'Night Mode' and did not take shots, but wrote a line to a .log file. The camera shut down at 11pm.
The attached graph is a plot of volts per unit time (or picture - the same in this test). Results show that battery voltage showing a fairly steady drop of ~~0.1v per hour of shooting (60 shots). Around 3.8ish volts the decline looks to be ~~ 0.2 volts per hour.
Most interesting is the precipitous drop of voltage that last hour of 'Night Mode' where the loss is 0.35 volts per hour.
I'm guessing the battery was pretty well depleted, because the lens didn't retract when the camera shut down.
As far as Waterwingz' script goes, the 'Night Mode' is clearly saving battery life. From the beginning of 'Night Mode' the battery drops only a little more than 0.1 volt over 3 hours. Good to know!
The "precipitous drop" is due to the battery protection IC. These LiPo batteries are actually "smart" in the sense that they contain circuitry to ensure safe charging and discharging.
For more details, take a look here at the recent tear-down I did of a similar NB-4L to the one you are using.
A battery with "more amper hours" would have a longer discharge curve, but a similar cutoff, but be aware that not all clone batteries actually live up to heir claimed capacity. To be sure of a significantly longer running period, you will need to use an external battery or mains adaptor, as realistically even the best battery of this physical size is unlikely to even reach 1500 mAh (regardless of the wild claims of the supplier, stating 1400mAh or even 2000mAh in your advert is not the same as actually supplying a battery of this genuine capacity).
I assume your battery is probably close to its stated capacity of 760 mAh, so probably it would be unrealistic to find a battery with a capacity to do any more than double the ability of the one are using.
I did check out your tear-down and thanks for explaining the voltage drop.
1- Night Mode uses less battery power (the obvious, I know), but how much more? Night Mode allowed Test#2 to continue for another 45 minutes before the low voltage shutdown.
3- The shape of the discharge profile is pretty much the same shape for Day and Night modes, but the Night Mode is extended a bit along the X axis.
I was very surprised that the NB-4L battery could last for 10 hours at 1 shot / minute. Go Canon batteries! Ultimately, I was wondering how long and how many shots I could get with my 6000mAh battery - the point of these tests. If I make the assumption that the battery behaves as well as the Canon, then we are in business. Anyone care to share a thought or opinion?
where can I find current-draw info?

A space telescope peering into the Milky Way galaxy's dusty core has spied a colossal twisted ribbon of supercooled material.
Until now astronomers had only seen bits and pieces of the ribbon's 600-light-year-wide superstructure, which resembles the symbol for infinity: ∞.
"We have a new and exciting mystery on our hands, right at the center of our own galaxy," said astronomer Sergio Molinari of the Institute of Space Physics in a press release. Molinari and others describe the strange ribbon in an upcoming Astrophysical Journal Letters study available on arXiv.org.
Astronomers previously studied gas-piercing infrared images of the Milky Way's cloudy barred core, but they didn't have photos with resolution high enough to discern the ribbon's entire structure. Molinari and others found the ring by aiming the European Space Agency's infrared Herschel Space Observatory toward galactic center.
The telescope's images suggest the ring is a chilly 15 degrees Kelvin – warmer regions are blue while cooler regions are red – and has two segments that poke out of the galaxy's pancake-like plain. Ground-based radio telescope data also hints that the ring is spinning around the core as one cohesive unit.
Although astronomers aren't certain why the two lobes of the ring twist upwards, they suspect the gravitational tug of nearby galaxies – perhaps Andromeda some 2.5 million light-years away – is responsible.

and social support is tied to better health.
''Symbolic healing'' apparently has real physical effects on the body.
One of the most striking scientific discoveries about religion in recent years is that going to church weekly is good for you. Religious attendance boosts the immune system and decreases blood pressure. It may add as much as two to three years to your life. The reason for this is not entirely clear.
Social support is no doubt part of the story. At the evangelical churches I've studied as an anthropologist, people really did seem to look out for one another. They showed up with dinner when friends were sick and sat to talk with them when they were unhappy. The help was sometimes surprisingly concrete. Perhaps a third of the church members belonged to groups that met weekly to talk about the Bible and their lives.
One evening, a young woman in a group I joined began to cry. Her dentist had told her that she needed a $1,500 procedure, and she didn't have the money. To my amazement, our small group — most of them students — simply covered the cost, by anonymous donation.
A study conducted in North Carolina found that frequent churchgoers had larger social networks, with more contact with, more affection for, and more kinds of social support from those people than their unchurched counterparts. And we know that social support is directly tied to better health.
Healthy behavior is no doubt another part. Certainly many churchgoers struggle with behaviors they would like to change, but on average, regular church attendees drink less, smoke less, use fewer recreational drugs and are less sexually promiscuous than others. That tallies with my own observations. At a church I studied in Southern California, the standard conversion story seemed to tell of finding God and never taking methamphetamine again. In my next church, I remember sitting in a house group listening to a woman talk about an addiction she could not break. I assumed that she was talking about her own struggle with methamphetamine. It turned out that she thought she read too many novels.
Yet I think there may be another factor. Any faith demands that you experience the world as more than just what is material and observable. This does not mean that God is imaginary, but that because God is immaterial, those of faith must use their imaginations to represent God. To know God in an evangelical church, you must experience what can only be imagined as real, and you must also experience it as good.
I want to suggest that this is a skill and that it can be learned. We can call it absorption: the capacity to be caught up in your imagination, in a way you enjoy. What I saw in church as an anthropological observer was that people were encouraged to listen to God in their minds, but only to pay attention to mental experiences that were in accord with what they took to be God's character, which they took to be good. I saw that people were able to learn to experience God in this way, and that those who were able to experience a loving God vividly were healthier — at least, as judged by a standardized psychiatric scale. Other studies bear out this observation that the capacity to imagine a loving God vividly leads to better health.
In one study, when God was experienced as remote or not loving, the more someone prayed, the more psychiatric distress she seemed to have; when God was experienced as close and intimate, the more someone prayed, the less ill he was. In another study, at a private Christian college in Southern California, the positive quality of an attachment to God significantly decreased stress and did so more effectively than the quality of the person's relationships with other people.
Eventually, this may teach us how to harness the ''placebo'' effect — a terrible word, because it suggests an absence of intervention rather than the presence of a healing mechanism that depends neither on pharmaceuticals nor on surgery. We do not understand the placebo effect, but we know it is real. That is, we have increasingly better evidence that what anthropologists would call ''symbolic healing'' has real physical effects on the body. At the heart of some of these mysterious effects may be the capacity to trust that what can only be imagined may be real, and be good.
But not everyone benefits from symbolic healing. Earlier this month, the youngest son of the famed pastor Rick Warren took his own life. We know few details, but the loss reminds us that to feel despair when you want to feel God's love can worsen the sense of alienation. We urgently need more research on the relationship between mental illness and religion, not only so that we understand that relationship more intimately, but to lower the shame for those who are religious and nonetheless need to reach out for other care.

Thousands of trees at reservoir 'to ease Bacup flood destruction'
But Conservative calls for £50,000 more for flood-prone areas have been rejected by LCC
Charlotte GreenLocal democracy reporter
Top, Gorpley reservoir, bottom left and right, flooding in Bacup
Thousands of trees are set to be planted around a reservoir in a bid to bring an end to flooding woes.
Utility company Yorkshire Water and the White Rose Forest initiative are planning to install an initial 3,000 trees above Gorpley Reservoir, to the east of Bacup.
The aim is to keep the reservoir no more than three-quarters full so it can act as a 'sink' in times of heavy rainfall and protect areas such as Bacup and Shawforth.
Granville Davies, manager of asset strategy for Yorkshire Water, said: "We fully recognise the responsibility for all agencies involved in flood management to work together to devise innovative solutions to reduce the risk of flooding."
Around 3,000 trees will be planted per hectare, which could mean up to 200,000 trees planted over the next few years.
Overcrowding 'could see Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival scrapped'
The trees are designed to help slow down the rush of rain water to vulnerable locations in the valley below.
However, a separate budget proposal to county hall that would have seen £50,000 more funding available for flood-prone areas has been rejected.
At Lancashire County Council's (LCC) full council meeting, a Conservative amendment to the budget for the next financial year – which would have increased the frequency of gully cleaning and raised a £250,000 flood risk fund by 20 per cent – was defeated.
Tory Rossendale South county councillor Anne Cheetham told the meeting: "We really ought to have much more regular gully cleaning in certain areas of Lancashire.
"I would have felt better had there been some renegotiation in terms of flooding investment for this area, but that wasn't forthcoming. Many people's lifestyles have been ruined and we should be getting a fair investment back into the borough."
Pupils celebrate as school named in top 2 per cent in country for maths
But county council chiefs say they already clean gullies often enough to ensure they do not add to the flood risk.
Coun John Fillis, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "We already take a risk-based approach to gully maintenance, which means those which are prone to becoming blocked, and those in areas more at risk of flooding, are inspected, and if necessary cleaned, at least once a year as part of our regular cycle."
Coun David Borrow, LCC deputy leader, said: "Nobody would vote against anything that was in the Conservative amendment if we didn't have a budget deficit and if we had loads of money coming and loads of ways of raising extra money, but we don't."

Home / What is Alcoholism? / Alcohol-Related Crimes / Minor in Possession
‹ Alcohol-Related Crimes
Minor in Possession is a violation that occurs when a person under the legal drinking age of 21 is found to be in possession of alcohol. MIP laws and punishments vary by state and are typically included in state statutes.
By Jena Hilliard | Last Edited: July 24, 2019 | 6 Sources
What Is a Minor in Possession (MIP) Offense?
Minor In Possession is one of the most common causes of arrest for Americans under the age of 21. A minor in possession, or MIP, is a criminal offense that occurs when a person is found to be in possession of alcohol before they are of the legal age of 21. MIP can also refer to a minor in possession of drugs or other illicit substances, but most typically refers to the possession of alcohol. MIP laws are designed to discourage underage drinking and therefore reduce rates of adolescent vandalism, disorderly conduct, and driving under the influence. In most states, an underage drinking charge is a misdemeanor; however, MIP laws and punishments vary by state.
What Constitutes "Possession"?
According to the Controlled Substances Act of 1984, there are three common types of minor in possession ordinances:
Actual Physical Possession
A minor is deemed in possession in this situation if they are physically holding an alcoholic drink, either opened or sealed, in their hand.
Possession By Consumption/Internal Possession
In this case, a minor can be deemed in possession if they have consumed an alcoholic beverage. A law enforcement officer doesn't need to have witnessed the underage person physically possessing or consuming the alcohol; consumption may be established by means of a proscribed blood alcohol content (BAC) level or an officer testimony in combination with a field sobriety test.
Constructive Possession
A minor is deemed in constructive possession if they have access to alcohol in a setting that would indicate they had the intent of drinking. For example, if alcohol is found in the trunk of a car that an underage person is driving or in a cooler an underage person is sitting next to, they would be deemed to be in constructive possession of alcohol because it can be argued that they had the intent of consuming that alcohol.
Exceptions to Possession
Some states have exceptions to minor in possession laws. These specific exceptions vary by jurisdiction and are typically denoted within state statutes. Some examples of when minors can legally possess alcohol include:
Under the supervision of a parent or guardian at a private residence
Religious service or ceremony
Employment for a vendor that sells alcohol
Most attorney defenses involve state exceptions when fighting MIP charges.
What Are the Consequences of an MIP?
When a person under the legal drinking age is found to have been in possession of alcohol, punishment can take a variety of forms. Penalties for violating MIP laws vary from state to state but usually include one or more of the following:
Revocation of driver's license (typically for 30 days)
Enrollment in diversion or alcohol education programs
Offense on criminal record
Possible incarceration
Factors that can influence punishment include the offender's age, whether the minor was legally intoxicated at the time off the offense, and past history of possession and/or other illegal behavior. Most states' MIP laws have punishments that are relatively moderate for first offenders, and then increase in severity for subsequent convictions.
Defenses against MIP charges can be raised, but the validity of the defense depends largely on the state and the local laws where the citation is issued.
Underage Drinking and MIP State Law Examples
Utah is one the strictest states when it comes to MIP laws and penalties. A minor in Utah may not buy, attempt to buy, possess, or consume alcohol. Violators will receive a misdemeanor, pay up to $1,000 in fines, and have his or her license suspended up to one year for first convictions and two years for second and subsequent convictions. Violations that include an age misrepresentation, i.e. providing a fake ID to buy alcohol, can carry up to $2,500 in fines and 6 months in jail.
Wisconsin, on the other hand, is one of the most lenient of states in terms of MIP laws and consequences. A minor in Wisconsin may also not buy, attempt to buy, possess, or consume alcohol; however, the state has a long list of exceptions to these rules compared to others. Wisconsin additionally has significantly lesser punishments in relation to other states, as first-time violators will only receive a civil citation and pay a fine of up to $500. A second violation can incur $500 worth of fines and 30 days in jail, and further subsequent violations can then carry up to $1,000 and 90 days of jail time.
Be Smart: Don't Drink Underage
Minor in possession charges can lead to serious consequences. You can be punished with time in jail and have a criminal record for the rest of your life. If you, or your child, is under the age of 21 and struggling with an alcohol addiction, talk with a treatment expert today and discover your rehabilitation options.
