I mostly consider myself to be a contemporary writer.
I love writing about real world issues; about kissing; about music and art and people trying to figure out who they are as they're still becoming.
So I look for inspiration in the real world. In the people I see on the subway, the songs I hear on Spotify playlists, the color of a shirt or a patch on a person's backpack or a sentence I overhear someone say.
I rarely use photos for inspiration, and when I do, it's always artsy portraits I see on Pinterest or Tumblr that perfectly encapsulate a character I already have in my head.
I think a lot of writers think of themselves as a certain "kind" of writer. They methodically look for inspiration in the places they've found it before, or they happen upon it in ways they're used to discovering new stories for whatever "kind" of writer they've decided they are.
They get stuck, I guess. Comfortable.
But I want to challenge you to be open to encountering inspiration in unlikely places. And I'll tell you why.
Last year, a friend of mine went to Ireland.
She posted a photo of a gorgeous cliffside in Galway, and I thought I'd die of jealousy.
I bookmarked the photo, and I looked up other photos of (what I soon discovered were) the Cliffs of Moher. I imagined what it would be like to stand on a cliff like that, to feel so tiny in such an immensely beautiful place. I looked up the quote "As above, so below," too, and discovered it's the central doctrine of Hermeticism, and that it basically means everything in the universe is connected.
So anyway, I couldn't get this picture, or this concept out of my head. And because my mind can't help but tell itself stories about the things I become obsessed with, I started to build a world around the photograph.
If a people lived in this kind of environment, what might be most important to them?
What kinds of gods might they worship or pray to?
What would they risk everything for?
These were questions I, as a contemporary writer, had never had to ask myself. But the questions came quickly and freely and they didn't stop even once I had the beginnings of answers.
The world grew and grew until I was jotting down character names in my phone, and looking up night-blooming flowers, and reading about how the cycles of the moon push and pull at sea levels around the world (I'd decided these people might worship the moon; that the sea might be a constant enemy; that they might name their children after flowers that only showed their beauty to the stars)—things I never would have thought to research if I were writing a contemporary book.
As the world narrowed and I began to find the story tucked inside it, I realized I could still write about all of my favorite things: kissing and music and art and becoming. And I'd add a dash of Hermeticism—of that concept of as above, so below. Because if the moon can pry open the petals of flowers and make the sea rise and fall; if I, a contemporary writer, could start a fantasy story (maybe even a novel) from a photograph; if the possibility of inspiration is everywhere all at once; everything must really be more connected than it seems.
Anyway. Now, this kind of thing happens to me all the time.
Don't decide what "kind" of writer you are too soon.
If you allow yourself to be open enough, inspiration can come from anywhere.

Home Blogs Chemicals and the Economy "Demographics in mainstream economics has been under-emphasized for too long" – Andy Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England
"Demographics in mainstream economics has been under-emphasized for too long" – Andy Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England
By Paul Hodges on 19-Jan-2017
"Will economists start to consider demographics when making their forecasts and developing government policies?"
This was the question on my mind at a recent discussion on the topic of "An economy that works for everyone" at the UK's Institute for Government. The speaker was the Chief Economist of the Bank of England, Andy Haldane, and the Institute's Director, Bronwen Maddox kindly invited me to ask my question as part of the discussion. You can watch the Q&A by clicking here. The transcript is below.
Critically, Haldane acknowledges that economists need to rethink their approach. Until now, they have focused on developing policies that impact "the average person". Instead, he agrees that they now "need to be super-granular, household by household", in terms of demographics and other relevant detail.
Andy Haldane is a leading central banker. His statement that "we shouldn't have fixed views on how monetary policy works" is therefore very important. New ideas are urgently needed, and his comment opens the door for debate. As I have discussed here in earlier posts (Policymakers' out-of-date economic models fail to create growth, again, Age range and income level key to future corporate profits), I believe there is an urgent need to develop an alternative economic model based on the "competing populations" concept developed by the biologists.
"Andy. Thank you very much indeed for the stimulating talk. You made a comment just now about "is it something else" (that is causing the post-2008 recovery to be so slow and uncertain), and at the start you talked about the need perhaps to reinvent or rethink economics. You also made a point about the failure of conventional economics to explain this difference between the frontier companies (who are leading in their fields) and the others.
Just before Christmas the bank put out a survey of spending with relation to interest rates and monetary policy which suggested that again and I quote almost exactly "conventional economics would have said that if you pass on lower interest rates, people will spend more. "But in fact only 10% of people did. So what I wanted to ask you was,
"Is this something else" to do with really significant demographic changes in the economy – that we now have a group of BabyBoomers, the largest-ever group of people in the population, who are refusing to die at 65 as they would have done in the past. In fact they are living now for another 20 years, and we have around one in five of the population in that age group."
My question really is therefore "do you think that investigating this demographic impact, which has never happened before in the world, could be useful"? Because I think that it might provide the key (a) to the new type of economics and also (b) to the question of how we raise UK productivity.
Andy Haldane
"Paul, your work on this is a very good example of how demographics in mainstream economics has been under-emphasized for too long.
That I think is changing by the way – that I think is changing and we are seeing for example when people tell the story that I mentioned earlier on about secular stagnation – the kind of Bob Gordon, Larry Summers-type hypothesis – one of the facts that is pointed towards would be demographic factors nudging us in that direction.
When we're trying to make sense of why it is that interest rates globally – not ones set by central banks, ones set by financial markets – why they are so low, for as far as the eye can see, part of the explanation, I think, lies in evolving demographics and the implications that has about saving and for investment.
The study you mention, I think of households, which we conduct a regular basis to try and understand their patterns of spending and saving is, in some ways, a brief example of all we discussed today. It's a vertical distribution. It's saying we can't take the average person, the so-called representative agent and hope that by studying them we can make sense of what's going on. We need to be super-granular, household by household:
 Conditioning on whether they are a borrower or a saver, whether they are young or whether they are old, whether they live in the North East or whether they live in the South West
 And using that to condition our policy responses including our monetary policy responses
It could be the case we reach the point where interest rates are a bit less potent in stimulating spending than was the case in the past. We shouldn't have fixed views or fixed multipliers about how monetary policy works.
It can change as the economy can change and by looking at this more granular data, like Michael Fish* did after 1987, we can perhaps tomorrow, or failing that the day after tomorrow, do a somewhat better job of making sense of what happens next in the economy."
* Michael Fish was the BBC weather forecaster who famously denied on-air in October 1987 that a hurricane was about to hit the UK. Haldane had earlier noted that this failure had prompted a complete rethink of weather forecasting, which was now much better as a result. He hoped that economists' failure to forecast the 2008 Crisis might end up causing a similar process of rethinking and reinvention to take place.

With All Our Might...Elevating Child Health Policy
House Passes Ryan Budget Bill - But Don't Panic
News of the Supreme Court challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has dominated headlines this week, overshadowing the release and subsequent passage of House Republicans' budget on March 21. Often referred to as the "Ryan budget," after House Budget Committee chairman (and the bill's main author) Paul Ryan (R-WI), the budget would make massive changes to many health care programs, including cuts of more than $700 billion in Medicaid over the next decade.
These changes would include converting Medicaid to a block grant program. Medicaid, in its current form, guarantees all eligible Americans are guaranteed a spot in the program. The federal government covers nearly 60 percent of the cost (on average), and has an open-ended commitment to help states cover remaining costs. The government also requires states to cover certain groups of people, such as children. Nationally one in three children are enrolled in Medicaid, which is designed to provide essential health benefits to this population, from preventive care to medically necessary early interventions before conditions become serious and more costly.
Under a block grant model, this open-ended approach would end; instead, states would be provided with an annual lump sum, no more, no less, regardless of how many citizens apply for coverage. States would have more freedom to make benefits and eligibility decisions, but would be charged with covering costs beyond the annual federal allotment. With the number of people who rely on Medicaid on the rise and states still running budget shortfalls, this added expense would be difficult for states to bear, especially if the Supreme Court upholds the ACA, which would make 16 million more people eligible for Medicaid in 2014. More coverage for more people is a good thing, but traditionally, when states feel such a pinch, they pass these expenses onto patients and providers.
Many groups have expressed dissatisfaction with Ryan's proposal, arguing that more than 60 percent of his proposed cuts come from spending targeted to the poor, including Pell Grants, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Head Start, veteran's benefits, and many others. Proponents, however, argue that such cuts are necessary to reduce the national debt, and that the proposed budget protects Defense programs.
Before we get too caught up in either side's argument, it's important to understand just how much spin and rhetoric is involved with these budget proposals. Current law requires the president to submit a budget proposal to Congress, which President Obama did on February 13. Both houses of Congress then develop their own outline and, when they agree, send it to the president for signing. Thus, there is theoretical a balance of budget power and a cooperative process.
This year (like last year, and many years when we have divided government), House Republicans have produced their own budget, generally ignoring the president's request. House Democrats for their part have also written their own budget that is more analogous to the president's, but not being the party of power in the House, their proposals rarely make it past the committee stage. The Senate, on the other hand, hasn't produced a budget blueprint since Obama took office, instead ceding control to the president. This has created a stalemate on Capitol Hill. To keep the government running, Congress has had to continue funding programs by continuing resolutions which fund government programs at the previous year's levels. Last year, no agreement could be reached and the vast majority of government programs were level-funded by a continuing resolution that passed in mid-December.
Thus, Rep. Ryan's budget is not a point-by-point blueprint for funding federal programs as much as it is a political statement, reflecting the fiscally conservative position that is dominant within the Republican party. The proposal is vague on some details about how cuts and increases will be achieved, and makes projections for dozens of years into the future (which, barring significant changes in the way our domestic programs work, would be extremely difficult to achieve.) It is widely acknowledged that very few, if any, proposals in the bill will become actual law during this congress. Although it has passed the Republican-controlled House, it will fail in the Democrat-controlled Senate, if it ever reaches the floor at all. The House Democrats' plan will also not pass, and may not even be brought up for a vote.
Here's where we remind you that it's an election year. Both sides will argue their budget is right, fair, will reduce debt, and will do the most for the majority of Americans. What neither side will admit is that no budget will be signed into law prior to the 2012 election, and possibly not even then. Following the election, Congress will return for a "lame duck" session, when all spending decisions must be wrapped up to avoid a government shutdown (which hasn't happened since 1996.) It's possible (in fact probable) that Congress will pass another continuing resolution to fund government programs until the 113th Congress convenes next year. Any budget blueprint is, therefore, meant to allow a campaigning incumbent to tout the budget they support, knowing it won't become law.
That doesn't mean we can take the year off. Budget proposals are guideposts for what the next Congress is likely to do, and presidential candidate Mitt Romney has already signaled his support of the Ryan budget which, as previously mentioned, takes aim at Medicaid. As non-voters, children and their health care needs are easily overlooked unless advocates come together to champion policies that benefit them. Stay tuned as we continue to track the Medicaid debate and actions Congress does take this year on legislation that impacts children's health. And don't forget to Join our Speak Now for Kids campaign to help us champion children's health.

Q: Search for file through directories I am trying to search for a text file in multiple directories, then add the directory path to an array list.
How can I do this?
Here is what I have so far:
File folder = new File("path\\dir");
File folder1 = new File("path\\dir1");
ArrayList<File> flielist = new ArrayList<File>();
flielist.add(folder);
flielist.add(folder1);
for (int i = 0; i < flielist.size(); i++){
  File dir = flielist.get(i);
  System.out.println(dir.getName());
  if(dir.listFiles() != null){
    for (File file : dir.listFiles())
    {
      String filename = file.getName();
      if(filename.equals("rashed")){
        System.out.println("found" + file.getPath());
      }
    }
  }
}

A: public class FileSearch {

    private List<String> result;

    public List<String> getResult() {
        if (result == null) {
            result = new ArrayList<String>();
        }
        return result;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        FileSearch fileSearch = new FileSearch();
        fileSearch.search(new File("C:/Users"), "rashed.txt");
        int count = fileSearch.getResult().size();
        if (count == 0) {
            System.out.println("\nNo result found!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("\nFound " + count + " result!\n");
            for (String matched : fileSearch.getResult()) {
                System.out.println("Found : " + matched);
            }
        }
    }

    public void search(File file, String filename) {
        if (file.isDirectory()) {
            System.out.println("Searching directory ... " + file.getAbsoluteFile());
            //do you have permission to read this directory?
            if (file.canRead()) {
                if (file.listFiles() != null) {
                    for (File temp : file.listFiles()) {
                        if (temp.isDirectory()) {
                            search(temp, filename);
                        } else {
                            if (filename.equalsIgnoreCase(temp.getName())) {
                                getResult().add(temp.getAbsoluteFile().toString());
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Sad to hear of Toms passing I had the great opportunity to apprentice with him very briefly after my first year at George Brown Colleges Ceramics I had little experience but plenty of enthusiasm and interest in the raku tradition He welcomed me into his home for the two months I was there and I learned a great deal.Thank you Tom.

United States v. Oracle Corporation
Cases:
The United States District Court for the Northern District of California rejected the government's challenge to the tender offer by Oracle Corporation to acquire PeopleSoft, Inc. The government alleged that such an acquisition would unduly restrain trade in this crucial area of software technology.
The Focal Point's Role
The Focal Point worked closely with counsel for Oracle to prove that the government had failed to demonstrate that the Oracle/PeopleSoft combination would result in anticompetitive results. The Focal Point developed substantial material related to the relevant market and designed basic teaching tools that demonstrated why the acquisition would likely strengthen competition.
The Department of Justice subsequently decided not to appeal Judge Vaughn Walker's decision.

In Australia, the vaccination status of hospitalized COVID-19 patients doesn't tell the whole story – PolitiFact
PolitiFact | In Australia, the vaccination status of hospitalized COVID-19 patients doesn't tell the whole story
In Australia, the vaccination status of hospitalized COVID-19 patients doesn't tell the whole story
The article cites data primarily about one Australian state, New South Wales.
The vast majority of the vaccine-eligible population in New South Wales is vaccinated against COVID-19, reaching 93%.
Coupled with the fact that more than 50% of those in the ICU with COVID-19 were unvaccinated, experts say, the figures demonstrate the vaccines' effectiveness in preventing severe illness.
Australia faces a surge of COVID-19 cases as the highly contagious omicron COVID-19 variant continues to spread across the continent.
Throughout the pandemic, each spike in cases has taken its toll on hospital systems, and the omicron surge has been no different.
But one media outlet claims there is something different about the latest wave of COVID-19.
"Fully Vaccinated Australians In Hospital For COVID-19 Surpass Unvaccinated," reads the headline of a Jan. 12 article from the Epoch Times, a conservative media site with a history of publishing misinformation.
Similar to the headline, the beginning of the article implies that the vaccinated are more susceptible during the omicron surge.
"For the first time, New South Wales (NSW) has seen more fully vaccinated patients hospitalised with COVID-19 compared to the number of unvaccinated patients as the Omicron outbreak continues to edge toward its peak," the article says.
Beyond that sentence, the article is behind a paywall — keeping many readers from seeing context that explains the situation more fully.
The article was shared in social media posts, which were flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
The headline is misleading; it refers to "Australians," but the complete article focuses only on data from New South Wales, a state in the southeast region of the country.
The data from the New South Wales government was current through Jan. 9.
According to that data, 2,030 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized in New South Wales. Of those patients, 28.8% were unvaccinated and 68.9% were fully vaccinated. (The data does not include information about whether the patients had received vaccine boosters.)
The same data reported 159 COVID-19 patients in intensive care units. Of those patients, 49.1% were unvaccinated and 50.3% were vaccinated.
Based on those New South Wales statistics, it was accurate to say that the number of vaccinated people in hospitals in New South Wales exceeded the number of unvaccinated people.
Even so, the Epoch Times article itself acknowledged the apparent increased risk for the unvaccinated.
"Based on the data presented, unvaccinated individuals appear to be six times more likely to be hospitalised and nearly 13 times more likely to be sent to ICU than those who are fully vaccinated," said the Epoch Times. "This is considering that the number of unvaccinated patients appears to be over-represented in the figures — 7.3 percent of the NSW population aged 12 and over at the time were unvaccinated, but they made up half of the COVID-19 ICU patients in the NSW Health system."
The article no longer references the most current data.
Currently, there are more people hospitalized in New South Wales and Victoria — Australia's hardest-hit states — than at any earlier point of the pandemic, Reuters reported.
On Jan. 12, New South Wales officials reported 2,242 COVID-19 patients in hospitals throughout the state. Premier Dominic Perrottet reported 175 patients in ICUs.
"More than 50% of those people are unvaccinated," Perrottet said of the ICU patients. "Vaccination has been key over this period of time in keeping you and your friends and your family safe. It is very clear on those numbers. They do not lie."
In New South Wales, 92.5% of the eligible population (those age 12 and older) were fully vaccinated as of Jan. 9, according to the state's most recent COVID-19 data. That represents 78.3% of the state's total population.
Perrottet emphasized that because New South Wales has such high vaccination rates, the fact that more than 50% of those in the ICU with COVID-19 were unvaccinated demonstrates the effectiveness of the vaccines.
"Around 93% of adults in NSW have now been fully vaccinated, leaving around 7% of the population not entirely protected," the New Zealand Herald reported on Jan. 12. "Despite making up a small proportion of the wider community, these 7% now account for more than half of all ICU admissions."
Catherine Bennett, an epidemiology professor at Deakin University, told the Herald that if the vaccines weren't protecting people from severe COVID-19 illness and hospitalization, vaccinated people would make up a larger portion of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units.
"People making up a very small proportion of the at-risk population, are making up a large proportion of those in ICU," Bennett said.
An Epoch Times headline shared on social media said "Fully vaccinated Australians in hospital for COVID-19 surpass unvaccinated."
The headline suggests that vaccinated people are more susceptible to severe illness from the virus than unvaccinated people. But the headline misrepresents the data cited in the article, parts of which are accessible only to paying subscribers.
The article is about data from one Australian state — not the whole country — where there were more vaccinated people in the hospital than unvaccinated people.
But nearly 93% of eligible people in the state are vaccinated. Coupled with the fact that more than 50% of those in the ICU with COVID-19 were unvaccinated, experts say, the figures demonstrate the vaccines' effectiveness in preventing severe illness.
The statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details or takes things out of context. We rate this claim Half True.

North Sea Surf Radio to cease operations
Goto Page: 1 2 3 Next
Posted on Dec 17 2019 03:32 AM
On January 1st 2013 we caused a blast wave in the surf music scene by launching the very first online radiostation dedicated to instrumental surf music from a small attic in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. For the first time in history the surf music scene was able to enjoy a non commercial radio station playing surf music 24/7, available on all thinkable platforms and machines wired to the internet through cable, 3G, dialup or any other possible connection.
Since the start North Sea Surf Radio has written history on several occasions. We were the very first station to broadcast live from the biggest surf music event, the Surfer Joe Summer Festival. We did so for four consecutive years broadcasting over 100 live shows and interviews with some of the best and most legendary artists in surf music.
We made 21 countdown lists compiling the best surf music records as voted by our listeners. We had dozens of DJ's from all over the globe making weekly shows and last but not least we played the latest surf music and the best classics in modern and classic surf music.
As of December 31st North Sea Surf Radio will (for now) cease operations. Time and technical issues we have been struggling with the past years make it hard for us to give the station the maximum amount of attention and maintenance it deserves. Therefore we will put the station to rest, for now, because the moment we will once again have the time at hand to give the station maximum attention we hope to return with an updated and even stronger NSSR. This could be 1 5, or 10 years from now but eventually we feel the station is too good to lay to rest untill eternity.
Coming weekend our DJ's will bring you their final show after which we will unfold our plans for the final days of NSSR. We will go out with a bang so after tuning in to the weekend shows check out our Facebook next week for more information. Thanks for your continued support from our entire team at North Sea Surf Radio.

I'm very sorry to hear this. Many thanks to Niels and the DJ's for their phenomenal work. I greatly appreciate that this has been a true labor of love. I'll look forward to the eventual return of NSSR, in some form.
I'm very sad to hear this, even though I had stopped doing my show.
Hope to see some return in the future.

As a newcomer to the surf scene I was just getting started with NSSR for about the last month. Thanks for the great work.

Sad news! Is there another alternative?
Thank you, all that have had a hand in this, and especially to all the DJ's for your extra work and heart. It has been my go-to station for all these years, and I've been exposed to so much good music I would have never otherwise.
Hope an alternative will rise up, some day.
NSSR is THE best! its its the one beacon of light in a dark world of mediocre internet radio.
This is sad news. Hopefully it will return

That's a shame. Thanks for the great music.
My criticisms of NSSR are widely known, however...
I'm willing to offer the entirety of nssr a home on our servers, without charge, in perpetuity.
There are three conditions. 1) No more toxicity and surf snobbery. 2) donation campaigns are directed to me to cover my running costs. 3) Reverb Mike is in charge of music policy.
So, if you care about preserving "traditional surf" that is your lifeline.

I don't have the time to be in charge of the music policy . Not sure who recommended me for the position, but they didn't reach out to me first to see if I was on board with this suggestion. NSSR is Niels project. Have you approached him with your offer?

NATO: No apology for hitting rebels in tanks
NATO acknowledged hitting a rebel tank, but said it was unaware the rebels were using tanks
By Slobodan Lekic
April 8, 2011 5:12PM (UTC)
In this image made from television, a dust cloud is seen following the explosion of a missile, outside the strategic oil port of Brega, Libya, Thursday, April 7, 2011. An apparent NATO airstrike slammed into a rebel combat convoy Thursday, killing at least five fighters and sharply boosting anger among anti-government forces after the second bungled mission in a week blamed on the military alliance. (AP Photo/National Transitional Council in Libya via AP Television News) (AP)
NATO acknowledged Friday that its airstrikes had hit rebels using tanks to fight government forces in eastern Libya, but said it would not apologize for the deaths because no one told them the rebels had tanks.
British Rear Adm. Russell Harding, the deputy commander of the NATO operation, said in the past, only forces loyal to Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi had used heavy armored vehicles.
Harding says the military situation between Libya's eastern coastal towns of Brega and Ajdabiya remains fluid, with the two sides engaged in a series of advances and retreats, making it difficult for pilots to distinguish between them.
NATO jets attacked a rebel convoy between these two towns Thursday, killing at least five fighters and destroying or damaging a number of armored vehicles.
The strikes, including an attack earlier this week, provoked angry denunciations of NATO by the rebels. At the same time, NATO officials have expressed frustration with the Libyan insurgents, who now view the alliance, whose mandate is limited to protecting civilians in Libya, as their proxy air force.
NATO last week took control over the international airstrikes that began March 19 as a U.S.-led mission. The airstrikes thwarted Gadhafi's efforts to crush the rebellion in the North African nation he has ruled for more than four decades, but the rebels remain outnumbered and outgunned and have had difficulty pushing into government-held territory even with air support.
Harding said Friday that NATO jets had conducted 318 sorties and struck 23 targets across Libya in the past 48 hours. They have flown over 1,500 sorties in the eight days since the alliance assumed overall command from a U.S.-led force.
NATO's jets have destroyed Gadhafi's anti-aircraft missile defenses, T-72 tanks and ammunition dumps, Harding said. The attacks also targeted Gadhafi's loyalist forces in the besieged city of Misrata, where rebels continue to hold out.
But Gadhafi's forces still pose a danger for the warplanes. They retain radars and surface-to-air missiles, as well as automatic cannons and shoulder-launched missiles that can hit planes at altitudes up to 5,000 meters (15,000 feet).
"It would appear that two of our strikes yesterday may have resulted in (rebel) deaths," he told reporters in Naples, where the alliance's operational center is located.
"I am not apologizing," Harding said. "The situation on the ground was and remains extremely fluid, and until yesterday we did not have information that (rebel) forces are using tanks."
Over the past week, Gadhafi's forces had switched tactics by leaving their heavy armor behind and using only light trucks armed with heavy machine guns and fast-firing anti-aircraft cannons on the front lines between Brega and Ajdabiya. These have proven very effective in disrupting repeated rebel attempts to push west toward Tripoli, but Gadhafi's forces have not been able to drive the rebels back toward Benghazi or establish a solid front line in that sector.
"These trucks cannot hold ground," Harding said. "When you see their tanks coming up, those are the vehicles that can cause the greatest harm to civilians."
On Thursday, the situation in that sector "was very confusing, vehicles going back and forth," he said.

Q: Angular, observable pipe limit? I'm doing this in one of my route guards...
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): Observable<boolean> {
    // go through each check sequentially, stop process if one does throwError
    return of(true).pipe( // Is there a limit to operators in a pipe???
      switchMap(() => of(true)), // simplified for this post...usually call a function that returns
      switchMap(() => of(true)),
      switchMap(() => of(true)),
      switchMap(() => of(true)),
      switchMap(() => of(true)),
      switchMap(() => of(true)),
      switchMap(() => of(true)),
      switchMap(() => of(true)),
      // if any function returns throwError, we skip other checks
      catchError(() => of(false))
    );
  }

I'm running into an error.  If there is one more switchMap added to the list, VSCode tells me...
"Type 'Observable<{}>' is not assignable to type 'Observable'.
Type '{}' is not assignable to type 'boolean'.ts(2322)"
Can somebody explain to me why that's the case?  I can't figure it out and find related issues.

A: This is pretty well explained in this github issue.
The gist of it is that only 9 operators are supported - any more and it will fall back to type Observable<{}> since they have to manually type everything up to 9 operators.
Use multiple pipes (maintains typesafety after the 9nth entry)
If you still want to maintain typesafety but add more than 9 operators, just call the pipe function again.
source$
  .pipe(
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {})
  )
  .pipe(
    // Add the next operators after the 9nth here
    tap(() => {})
  )

Manually assert the resulting type
Alternatively, you can add a manual type assertion at the end. Beware though: After the 9nth operator, the type will be infered as Observable<{}>, effectively losing typesafety.
const source$:Observable<boolean> = of(true)
  .pipe(
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),
    // Typesafety is lost here
    tap(() => {}),
    tap(() => {}),

  // Manually assert the type at the end
  // Beware that the compiler will allow pretty much anything here,
  // so "as Observable<string>" would work, even though it'd be wrong.
  ) as Observable<boolean>;

South Korea will not change its THAAD agreement with the US
Christine Kim,
F-4 fighters take part in a U.S.-South Korea joint live-fire military exercise at a training field near the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas in Pocheon, South Korea, August 28, 2015.
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea does not aim to change its agreement with the United States on the deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system and it would continue to work closely with Washington on it, the South's top national security adviser said on Friday.
A decision to postpone the full deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system pending a review of the system's impact on the environment was a domestic measure to ensure a democratic process, Chung Eui-yong told a news briefing.
U.S. ally South Korea said on Wednesday it would hold off on installing remaining elements of the THAAD system, which China strongly objects to, until the environmental study was completed.

What is A Debt Payment Program?
A Debt Payment program is a part of the DAS or Debt Arrangement scheme that stops punitive action from creditors and freezes all future interest and charges while you repay your debt over an agreed upon time frame (generally not exceeding 10 years). For Scottish residents, this is a singular scheme that brings relief from the cascading effect of interest charges and costs that accrue on unpaid debts. For a Debt Payment Program to come into force, your income and expenditure are assessed and a disposable income is arrived at. Most part of the disposable income is then put into the debt payment plan. This way, you will make just one monthly payment via the DAS and the creditors will not bother you with reminders and notices. An important feature of the DAS/DPP is that it does not consider your assets like home or car. Under most other debt relief options in Scotland, you will lose all assets when you use any of the government sponsored debt relief solutions.
Debt payment program is best for individuals who have surplus cash to pay off debts or cannot find adequate resource to pay off the debts within the stipulated time frame. In such situations the DAS will allow you to pay off the debts over a longer period of time without taking recourse to a fresh loan. In some situations, you are able to pay off the debt but the recurring interest and other charges are hurting you. By applying for DAS/DPP all interest and other charges remains frozen giving you better control over your debt. Yet another situation where DAS/DPP can come to your aid is when creditors are harassing you or threatening to initiate bankruptcy or trust deed proceedings against you.
To benefit from the debt payment program, you will need to contact an approved money advisor in your neighbourhood. He will then assess your income and expenditure to arrive at a disposable income that can be made available for paying your debts. Once your monthly payment is determined, your creditors are advised of the debt arrangement scheme to obtain their consent. If creditors object, the administrator will examine if your proposal is reasonable and fair. Once eventual objections are cleared, the DAS proposal is submitted o the AiB or Accountant in Bankruptcy which is a Scottish government office who in turn approves your DPP.
Some smart creditors may initiate punitive action against you when they learn about your DAS application. Till your DPP is up and running, you are not protected under the scheme. However, your money advisor can seek a 6 weeks breathing time during which period, the creditors' actions cannot be enforced.
A DPP can be amended when your ability to make the monthly payments improve or deteriorate. The administrator can communicate with the creditors for consent. However, when the amendment seeks to reduce the monthly payments, the creditors need to agree and in the absence of such agreement, the administrator will examine whether your request is reasonable and fair. Depending on the findings you may be granted the amendment sought.
About 10% of the moneys placed under DPP will be set off towards the administrator's fee.
As a Scottish resident if you are struggling with unsecured debts, you will find the DAS or Debt Arrangement Scheme significantly helpful to tide over the crisis. The DAS comes with statutory provisions and is designed to help eligible borrowers make repayment of their debts over a longer tenure than what has been originally agreed upon.
To set up a DAS scheme for you, you will first speak to an approved money adviser. In turn, the advisor will contact the creditors seeking their agreement to the terms set out under the DAS. This exercise will also involve freezing of all interest and costs as on the date of the agreement. Consequently, the monthly payments made to each creditor will also stand reduced. However, you will be making a single payment to the DAS administrator who will then apportion the money among the creditors as enshrined under the DAS agreement. However, your creditors will be offered upto21 days to respond to the proposal and will be bound by the Debt payment plan or DPP when they agree.
Creditors not responding within the stipulated time would be deemed to have agreed to the DPP. However, when one or more creditors object to the DPP, the administrator will negotiate with them highlighting your circumstances and explaining why the DPP would be to their advantage. Subject to your proposal being reasonable and fair, the administrator has the authority to approve the proposal even when some creditors disagree to the DPP. Once the agreement commences only a singular payment need be made to the payment distributor who will apportion the remittance among the creditors under the agreement.
The DAS administrator will assess your income and expenditure to arrive at your disposable income. Your monthly payments will then be fixed at a level that you can afford to pay. You would therefore be left with money to pay rent/mortgage, living expenses and other bare essentials.
The DAS will not affect your home and you will continue to enjoy possession subject to your making regular rent/mortgage payments. Once the DPP commences, all interest and other charges will remain frozen so that your debts do not grow. Your creditors won't harass you or initiate other punitive measures.
Although you will be making lower payments every month, you will be doing so over a longer tenure.
Your credit score will suffer since the DAS register will reflect your DPP and this would make further borrowals challenging. Most lenders would in fact turn you away or hesitate in extending fresh loans since you would be classified under 'high risk'. There is no set time frame under DAS unlike some of the other debt solutions like the IVA (Individual Voluntary Agreement) while the DAS will run till your debts have been paid up in full. You cannot apply for DAS if you have already been declared bankrupt or you have opted for a protected Scottish trust deed as a solution to your unsecured debts.
When looking for loans, one of the best ways to decide your bargain is to compare the interest rates. However sometimes we are in such an emergency that we need to get our money right then and in the moment. Where can you get such money so fast? The answer is logbook loans. These loans are simply given by keeping your vehicle as a security. They are ideal for short run monetary supplies. If you are among those who have a poor record of credit history, and no one is willing to lend you, then you can always rely on these logbook loans to get started with.
What are the advantages of logbook loans in general?
So you have heard a lot about logbook loans already, but are unsure how to go about it? Check out this list of pros and cons, and decide for yourself whether you want this bargain or not.
First of all, the advantages are, this kind of loan can be borrowed at anytime, from anywhere. These are the loans which you can rely on, when you have exhausted all other options. These loans are even credited to the self employed. You can get these loans within a day or two, without a hassle.
Now coming to some of the facts, you can only borrow up to 75% of the LTV of your car on these loans. The interest rates are usually high, but at logbook Loans Calculator, we find you lenders who charge affordable interest rates. So it is really convenient for the person who is taking loan just for the short run, and for the one who has taken a calculated risk in the face of an emergency, this is perhaps the best option.
In case you wondered, logbook loans aren't the same as guarantor loans. The main difference between them is that logbook loans are secured, whereas guarantor loans are not. This means that if you are unable to pay your defaults, the guarantor would be asked to step up and pay on your behalf. But the same is not applicable to logbook loans. In this case, if you fail to pay back your default, your vehicle will be seized to cover the costs. So it is basically the same as normal lending, but it is faster and more flexible.
We ensure you that there is no pressure from the lenders' side for you to pay back the loans. At logbook calculator, we understand that you already have a lot on your plate as the borrower, so the paying schedules are relaxed from our side.

Taxation of Dividends
Dividend is the amount declared by the board of directors of a company, which is paid to its shareholders out of the current profits or retained earnings. In simple words, Dividend means profits shared by the company with its shareholders.
Dividends received by a shareholder in India can be divided into three parts:
Ø Dividends received from a domestic company.
Ø Dividends received from a foreign company.
Ø Divided or any other income from mutual fund.
Taxability of Dividend Income received from Domestic Company
Under section 10(34) of Income Tax Act, 1961, Dividend referred to in section 115-O is exempt from tax in hands of shareholder. Any amount declared or paid by a domestic company is respect of dividend is exempt from Income Tax.
In India, Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT or CDT) is payable, by domestic company in addition to income tax under section 115-O(1) of the Income Tax Act. Any amount declared, distributed or paid in respect of dividends (whether interim or otherwise), whether out of current profits or retained earnings, shall be charged to additional income tax at an effective rate of 20.36% on gross basis.
Furthermore, Budget 2016 has amended the Income Tax Act, where any dividend income in the hands of shareholders being Individuals/HUF/Firms exceeds Rs.10,00,000, then such dividend shall be charged to tax at 10% under Section 115BBDA. This results in taxing the same amount thrice.
Mr. Khanna received a dividend of Rs 14 lakhs from domestic companies during the year. Since the dividend income received by Mr. Khanna exceeds Rs 10 lakhs, therefore, he will be liable to pay tax at 10% on dividend amount in excess of Rs 10 lakhs. Thus, the tax payable will be Rs.40,000 i.e. Rs. 4 Lakhs x 10%.
Taxability of Dividend Income received from Foreign Company
Dividend received by a resident taxpayer from a foreign company will be taxable under "Income from Other Sources". The taxpayer will be charged as per income tax rates applicable to him.
Where, any dividend has been received by an Indian company from a foreign company, it will be taxed under "Income from Other Sources". The taxpayer will be charged as per income tax rates applicable for companies.
Benefit of DTAA (Double Taxation avoidance agreement) -Where the dividend has been received from a foreign company, it is charged to tax in India as well in the country foreign country belongs. However, if such foreign dividend is taxed in both the countries, then the taxpayer can claim the relief of double taxation to avoid doubly taxing the same income. In case there is a double taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA) between India and the foreign country (from which the foreign company is) relief can be claimed under section 90 and where there is no DTAA, then relief can be claimed under section 91.
Divided income from mutual fund
Income from units of a mutual fund is exempt under section 10(35). Therefore, any income generated by the mutual fund through investments, either in the form of capital gains (Upto Rs. 1,00,000), dividends or interest is exempt from income tax. Capital gains over and above Rs. 1,00,000 will be taxed at 10% from April 1 2018 onwards.
Time Limit for the Payment of Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT or CDT)
Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT or CDT) shall be paid within 14 days from the date of: -
a) declaration; or
b) distribution; or
c) payment, of any dividend whichever is earliest.
Note: Dividend includes deemed dividend under section 2(22) (a), (b), (c) & (d) except dividend u/s 2(22) (e).

Jamie took River to a local Essex barber shop to get those baby locks chopped off once and for all. Sob.
"Jamie posted the sweet video on Instagram Stories, and asked his son what he thought his mum would think of his new look, to which River simply smiled," Hello! magazine reports.
Jools and Jamie are mum and dad to 17-year-old Poppy, 15-year-old Daisy, nine-year-old Petal, eight-year-old Buddy and two-year-old River.
So what else do we know about River? Apart from the fact that he's growing up very, very speedily?
"I am not sure I have seen anybody more excited than River was to visit The London Transport Museum," Jools admitted on Instagram earlier this month.
So quickly that the Oliver baby has just moved from cot to big boy bed. With his big boy haircut. And apparently he's not super keen to stay put.
"Night night little River….now stay in that bed!!" she captioned a photo of her delighted little boy snuggling down.
Jools posted a photo of this ritual explaining that her little guy likes to call on her yoga teacher's other skills.
"Managed to just get my yoga in with my fav @nadianarain not before River insisted on his weekly 'Nadia Massage'," Jools posted on Instagram.
He loves busting out the art supplies in the incredibly gorgeous playroom he shares with his siblings.
His brother Buddy is training him in the very important arts of dinosaur admiring and Star Wars enthusiasm.
So cute, right?! It's a total delight to see this much-loved little boy growing up.

'They walked him to the border and just let him go': Bereaved husband left fuming as 'drunk driving illegal immigrant who killed his wife of 30 years' goes FREE in Mexico after ICE deport him before trial
Kathy Dolan died when Alfredo Vazquez-Orozco hit her car on July 1, cops said
Vazquez-Orozco was arrested and charged, but later released by ICE agents
Kathy's husband Billy was told that he was released at the border of Mexico
Billy now wants to track down Vazquez-Orozco and see him taken to court
The widower is bereft; he'd never spent more than 10 days away from his wife
By James Wilkinson For Dailymail.com
Published: 02:07 EDT, 16 August 2017 | Updated: 04:20 EDT, 16 August 2017
A Las Vegas man whose wife of 30 years died when an illegal immigrant smashed into her car last month is looking for answers after being told her killer was deported rather than stand trial.
Billy Dolan lost wife Kathy on July 1 when Alfredo Vazquez-Orozco, 30, smashed into her car while drink-driving, police said.
But Dolan never saw Vazquez-Orozco standing trial; instead, he was told, ICE officials had taken him out of jail and let him go free back to Mexico.
'They walked him to the border and just let him go,' he told Fox 5 Vegas.
Billy Dolan (right today) lost his wife Kathy (seen left with Billy in happier times) in a car accident on July 1. He hoped to see justice done - but instead her alleged killer walked free
Kathy's car (pictured) was obliterated in the crash, which occurred as she was going to a kidney dialysis appointment in Las Vegas. The other driver was arrested for DUI
Dolan says that he and his wife were soulmates who had never spent more than ten days apart from one another.
And even when he was at work as a security guard, they would communicate constantly by text message.
So when she went silent one day - despite having been scheduled to visit the doctor for a kidney dialysis treatment - he knew something had gone wrong.
Alfredo Vazquez-Orozco, 30, was drunk when he hit Kathy, cops said. But ICE agents reportedly took him to the border of Mexico and released him before he could stand trial
He got permission from his boss to leave work early, and headed home - only to see her minivan had never made it back to their home.
'Then I got to the door, and on the door was a card from the coroner and it said, "Call me ASAP,"' he said.
Authorities told him that Kathy had died in a terrifying smash when Vazquez-Orozco hit her while drunk driving; photographs show her car crumpled and destroyed almost beyond recognition.
They told Dolan that Vazquez-Orozco was charged with DUI resulting in death and drug possession.
But then they went silent.
Concerned about the lack of information about the progress in his wife's case, Dolan called the district attorney's office only to find that Vazquez-Orozco had been released.
Not just released, in fact, but taken to the border with Mexico and sent on his way.
Dolan was bereft.
Vazquez-Orozco's truck (pictured) was completely flipped over in the crash but he survived - unlike Kathy. Dolan now wants to find Vazquez-Orozco and make him face justice
'I wake up thinking of her, try to sleep off/on but can't STOP thinking of her,' he wrote on Facebook, 'I now have found out why, (LOVE).
'I LOVE YOU KATHY FOR EVER AND EVER... Friends & people always when seeing one of us would ask where's the other, cause everyone new we were always together. GOD THIS HURTS SO BAD.'
When contacted by Fox, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that it would not comment on this specific case.
However, it said that before it deports people, a background check is run to determine if they have any outstanding warrants.
Illegal immigrant 'raped 7-year-old thousands of times' NY taxi driver, 59, lay dead in his cab for 18 HOURS
Dolan plans to hire an attorney and send someone out to track Vazquez-Orozco down.
But he says that for now all he can do is grieve.
Holding his wife's ashes, he said: 'When I wake up, I think about her, I kiss her, I hold her, this is all I have.'
