Award-winning Ottawa entrepreneur Amy Friesen is all too familiar with the scenario of adult children, busy with their own families and jobs, scrambling to find suitable retirement homes for aging parents confronted by declining health.
"Many families are overwhelmed," said Friesen, founder and CEO of Tea & Toast, in a teleconference interview. "They're very emotional, super-stressed. A lot of them are in crisis because they waited too long or didn't plan properly."
Since 2014, her company has been advising families of the senior living options available to them, taking a holistic approach toward offering the necessary support and resources.

If it's (finally) time to start paying yourself, you're going to need a tax strategy. Here are a few things to consider.
Earlier this month, Tea & Toast announced a new partnership with Chartwell Retirement Residences, the largest operator in the Canadian seniors living sector. Tea & Toast is now offering its services and expertise to all 13 of Chartwell's residences in the Ottawa region, from Lord Lansdowne to Stillwater Creek, and from Duke of Devonshire to Chartwell Rockcliffe.
"It's very humbling, the fact that they've taken a chance on us," said Friesen. "They've seen what we do and how we do it. We're really excited to work with them."
Friesen, who was born and raised in Napanee, moved to Ottawa almost 23 years ago to study business marketing at Algonquin College. She went on to earn a psychology degree at the University of Ottawa, where one of her courses, the psychology of aging, caught her interest.
Friesen has since devoted her career to helping seniors and working in the retirement living industry. She previously handled marketing for Chartwell's New Edinburgh Square, located on MacKay Street, off Beechwood Avenue, from 2005 to 2011.
Friesen said she derives a lot of enjoyment from being around seniors and from hearing their stories and learning from them. They have such a caring and curious nature, she added. "A lot of seniors in my world have so much love to give."
Friesen has been recognized as a thought leader in the relatively new industry of personal retirement living advisors. In 2019, she was the recipient of a Forty Under 40 award. She was also named 2018 WBN Businesswoman of the Year in the emerging entrepreneur category.
"I'm trying to standardize the advisory industry so that people know that we exist," said Friesen. "We're all a bunch of small businesses and we're kind of boots on the ground, trying to help in the community."
Last year, Friesen founded Eldercare Planners of Canada, a national network of senior living industry experts. As well, she's been hosting a podcast, Artful Aging, and is the recent co-founder of an online platform, Respiterequest.com, that helps to book respite stays at retirement homes.
Friesen also volunteers as a board member with The Good Companions seniors centre and is a member of the alumni advisory committee at Algonquin College.
When Friesen launched her business almost nine years ago, she decided to call it Tea & Toast. Not only does the name have a comfy-cozy feel but it also refers to the malnutrition that can creep into seniors' lives due to an inability or lack of interest in preparing proper meals or buying groceries. Instead, they subsist on tea and toast.
The small business has seen considerable growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for its services has risen by 60 per cent, bringing 19 new partner homes into its ecosystem in November 2022 alone. Tea & Toast, which employs a team of eight, has the highest volume of partnered homes in the greater Ottawa area. "This year, we're going to be up to about 200 moves," said Friesen of the number of seniors they're helping to place into assisted living.
Clients have been feeling more apprehensive during the pandemic, which has been hard on long-term care and retirement homes, and want to make more informed housing decisions, said Friesen.
Retirement residences differ from long-term care homes, which provide 24-hour nursing care and supervision to residents. The community is also required to access long-term care in a completely different way, including wait lists as long as eight years in the Ottawa area, said Friesen.
Retirement communities are privately owned and operated, offering rental accommodation with care and services for seniors who can live independently, with minimal to moderate support. Some offer advanced care services. It's often a good option for older couples who want to remain together, said Friesen.
Tea & Toast works with family members who live as far away as Europe, the United States and other parts of Canada. The business collects and compiles information from its clients based on such factors as specific needs, preferred location and budgetary requirements. It subsequently nails down the best options. It also helps to guide families through the living transition, said Friesen. Otherwise, someone can spend as many as 80 to 100 hours doing research and having to tour some of the 90-plus facilities in Ottawa, she said.
"All of my efforts are really about surrounding caregivers and seniors with as much love and attention from us to make sure that they're comfortable with this really difficult decision."

Q: Additive Inverse and integer modulo I am not completely sure how inverses work with sets of integer modulo. I have just started to learn about them. I have tried some practice problems, though I am not sure if my approach is correct in solving them.
Currently, this is what I am doing when solving for additive inverses:
Example Problem: Which element in $\mathbb{Z}_8$ is an additive inverse of $[13]$?
My solution:
$13\equiv 5(\text{mod }8 )$, and so we need to find the inverse of $5(\text{mod }8)$. The additive inverse of $x$ is simply the number which when added to $x$  yields the additive identity and the additive identity is $0$.
So what $y$  should we add to  $x=5$  to give  $x+y\equiv 0(\text{mod }8)$?
Say $y\equiv−x\equiv−5$  and ask what is equivalent to  $−5$ modulo $8$? The answer will be $y\equiv 3(\text{mod }8)$.
Or, the solution to  $5+y\equiv 8\equiv0(\text{mod }8)$.  Again you'll get $y\equiv 3(\text{mod }8)$.
Thus, the element $[3]$ is an additive inverse of $[13]$.
Can someone check if this is done correctly? If anyone has any other ways to solve this or advice on how to better understand integer modulo, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

A: It's correct.  Don't worry modular arithmetic is easy and is meant to be easy.
$a \equiv b \mod n \iff n\mid a-b$.
So $a + x \equiv b + x\pmod n \iff n\mid (a+x) - (b+x)$ but $(a+x) - (b+x) = a-b$.
So $a + x \equiv b + x \pmod n \iff a \equiv b \pmod n$.
So... you can always add to the same thing to both sides.  Just liked you'd hope you could.
So $a + x \equiv 0\pmod n \iff$
$x \equiv - a \pmod n$.
And if you don't like negatives as $n \equiv 0 \pmod n$  (Because $n\mid n-0= n$)
We can add $n$.
$x \equiv -a \pmod n$ so
$x\equiv x + 0 \equiv -a + n \equiv n-a \pmod {n}$.
(That works because $n \equiv 0 \pmod n \implies  n + (-a) \equiv 0 + (-a) \pmod n$).
It's meant to be easy.
....
So $13 + x \equiv 0 \pmod {8}$ so
$5 + x \equiv 0 \pmod 8$ so
$x \equiv -5 \equiv -5 + 8 \equiv 3\pmod 8$.
That's all you have to do and that is enough.

US PREVENTIVE SERVICES TASK FORCE (USPSTF) FAILS BABY BOOMERS AT RISK FOR HEPATITIS C
November 26, 2012: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) released a draft of
its updated hepatitis C screening guidelines today. The draft recommendations
for hepatitis C testing among injection drug users and others at high risk grade
"B", meaning testing is recommended, is an improvement over previous guidelines;
However, the Task Force failed to match the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's (CDC) lifesaving recommendation for people born from 1945 to 1965
to receive a one-time test for hepatitis C. For"Baby Boomers," who
represent 75% of the more than 4 million cases of hepatitis C in this country,
the Task Force is recommending only a "C" grade; stating that there is only
"small benefit" for testing this group. Martha Saly, the Executive
Director of the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable, a baby boomer who was
tested, treated and cured of hepatitis C, strongly disagrees. "Doctors
look to USPSTF to guide clinical practice and A and B recommendations get
covered without cost-sharing to patients. This is not going to be the case with
a C recommendation and will result in many people not being tested." said Saly,
"We'll miss a tremendous opportunity to save lives."According to the CDC, if
everyone born between 1945 and 1965 was tested, over 800,000 cases would be
identified, and up to 121,000 deaths could be avoided.
The vast majority of people with hepatitis C do not know they have it and are at greatly
increased risk for advanced liver disease, liver cancer, and death. "The USPSTF
took a major step forward in endorsing risk-based screening for people with
histories of injection drug use, the leading cause of new infections today."
said Daniel Raymond, the Chair of the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable,
"However the stigma which discourages patients from disclosing past risks will
leave an unacceptably high number of people at risk for liver disease
undiagnosed unless the USPSTF strengthens its Baby Boomer recommendation."
Often called the "silent epidemic, the number of deaths from HCV will grow in the
coming years, especially among people who have been unknowingly infected for
thirty to forty years. According to the CDC, if the people who are currently
infected with HCV do not receive care, 1.76 million will develop cirrhosis,
approximately 400,000 will develop liver cancer, and approximately 1 million
will die of related complications between the mid 2020s and mid 2030s. Hepatitis
C treatments are improving rapidly, promising more effective drugs and shorter
treatment regimens. In light of these positive improvements in treatment, NVHR
calls on the USPSTF to take CDC's lead and remove barriers around testing to
ensure that those who are most likely to have hepatitis C are given a chance to
know their status, be linked to care and benefit from treatment. Without
this step, the "silent epidemic" will rage on.

When I look at the numbers of baby boomers who could be at risk of serious complications from hepatitis C, it is always disheartening. Especially considering the number who may die from this disease due to the fact that they never go in to get tested. It's sad to see that the U.S. Preventative Task Force fell short in this aspect.
Stephen in Atlanta link
I have to agree with Achieve on this issue, and it is a really serious one. To think that this one generation accounts for so many cases of hepatitis C is quite shocking. I only hope that more baby boomers are willing to get tested for this virus.

NICE & ORIGINAL STYLE F1, FLATHEAD V8, NICELY FINISHED WOOD BED W/ SIDES, CLEAN
Don't be misled by the modern rolling stock, as this attractive 1950 Ford F-1 pickup has the heart and soul of an original vintage pickup. Still flathead powered, it's got that charming way of doing its thing that makes the flathead V8 and old trucks a great part of the old car hobby.
Ford's F-1 pickups have been perennial best-sellers, even before they were known as the F150. One glance at this great-looking little pickup is all the reason you need for its success and the early post-war examples are the epitome of "old truck" fun. But this isn't some beat up old farm hand; no, it's got a lot of new components, including fiberglass front fenders and running boards, plus a bed that looks extremely fresh, all adding up to a quality little truck that has a great deal of charm. The green paint is a variation of the hunter green that almost every old pickup wore at some point in its life, but there's a bit of metallic in the finish that really lights it up. Factory trim, including the wonderful hood vents and nostrils, means it has an authentic old timey look and the wood stake sides on the bed, complete with Texaco markings, gives it an ideal 1950s flair. The light-colored wood bed, which appears to be maple, is a nice contrast to both the dark green paint and the usual honey-colored oak, giving this Ford another way to stand out in a crowd.
Simple is good inside, where you'll find a freshened bench seat with a tan vinyl seat cover that's a nice contrast to the green paint. Aside from some aftermarket turn signals and a black leather wrapper on the steering wheel, it's quite authentic, although carpeted floor mats might have been a desirable upgrade back in the 1950s. The original gauges offer a pretty good summary of what the flathead V8 is doing up front and the dials themselves are unquestionably original, which is always welcome in a truck like this. The tan plastic in the center stack is remarkably well preserved (it may be reproduction) and that's where the optional AM radio might have lived, had this truck been so equipped. If you live someplace where it gets cool in the fall, then the under-dash heater will be a welcome addition, but beyond that it's no-frills fun all the way.
You simply can't go wrong with a venerable Ford flathead V8. This is the most common 239 cubic inch version, which offers great performance and one of the best exhaust notes ever created. It's really nice done under the hood, with bright Ford Red paint on the engine itself, a recent carburetor, and even the original 6-volt generator making the electricity. The fuel system has been recently overhauled, including a fresh fuel tank and a new fuel pump, in addition to the aforementioned carburetor, so it runs well and doesn't seem to have "flathead fever" in the heat. Using a single exhaust pipe, it has a great V8 sound that's exactly right on a vintage pickup and despite its modest specifications, the truck feels quick and agile around town and doesn't mind cruising at 50 MPH. The 3-speed manual transmission shifts easily and doesn't get grumpy and the rear end looks to be out of a late-model, so it's undoubtedly got some highway-friendly gears inside. The wheels are late-model F150 pieces painted to match and carry 225/70/15 radials that look appropriate on the old truck.
Flathead Fords have been popular for decades for very good reasons, and this truck delivers a motoring experience that's fun without the hard work. Call today!

Bayern Munich scored twice in the second leg of extra time to edge Juventus and advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.
Bayern Munich scored twice in the second leg of extra time to edge Juventus and advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, coming back from down two to take a 4–2 lead.
The goals, by Thiago and shortly afterward, Kingsley Coman, completed a run of four unanswered Bayern goals that put them up 6–4 on aggregate in the second leg of their Round of 16 matchup.
Thiago scored in the 107th minute, finding Robert Lewandowski with his back to the net and completing a swift one-two sequence with a strike into the lower right corner.
Coman's goal came just minutes later. The midfielder is on loan at Bayern from Juventus, and dealt his former team a death blow, taking the ball at midfield, beating the defense downfield into the box, and cutting back to his left foot for the dagger.
Bayern joined Barcelona in the quarters, who advanced past Arsenal with a 3–1 win at Camp Nou on Wednesday.

(3) Yesterday's installment of Pearls Before Swine has been accused of being a Feghoot.
(4) Mark Ciocco reviews The End of All Things by John Sclazi on Kaedrin Weblog.
The End of All Things When John Scalzi started his little serialized publishing experiment a few years ago with The Human Division, it felt a little like a television series. Each story was self contained and episodic in nature, and Scalzi even went as far as to call each installment an "Episode". The book (unexpectedly and distressingly) even ended on a cliffhanger, and when he announced the sequel, he did so by saying that it had been "renewed for a second season". Well, the new season has finally arrived, in the form of The End of All Things.
(5) While I've only made one attempt ever to get a blurb for something, I wish I had read John Scalzi's blurb policy first. He wasn't the one I asked, but based on what I learned here I would have gone about it differently.
All blurb requests must come through editors/publishers, not authors. This is to avoid me having to tell an author I don't like their work enough to blurb it. That's awkward. I will pre-emptively turn down requests from authors. So if you're an author who wants me to blurb your work, ask your editor to take care of it.
(6) Deidre Kitcher would like to raise $55,000 to make a movie of Star of the Guardians.
Do you love Sci Fi movies? Well, we've secured the rights to the best selling book series "Star of the Guardians" by author Margaret Weis and have a script ready to go! Our vision for this epic story could be described as "Game of Thrones" meets "Battlestar Galactica".
Her Indiegogo appeal has 23 days left to run and has raised $4,151 so far.
(7) The R2-D2 themed Boeing 787 Dreamliner rolled out the other day. It will go into service on All Nippon Airways (ANA).
Star Wars theme music played and Storm Troopers held guard as the hangar doors began to open. Within moments, a Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" painted with likeness of R2-D2 emerged to a cheering crowd at Boeing's wide-body assembly line facility in Everett.
The airplane featuring images of the loyal droid from the Star Wars franchise belongs to Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) and will begin flying paying passengers Oct. 18. The jet's first revenue flight is scheduled for a run between Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Vancouver, Canada.
Saturday's unveiling had been eagerly anticipated by both aviation and Star Wars enthusiasts since plans for the R2-D2-themed Dreamliner were first announced in April.
(8) The Museum of Pinball actually isn't that far from me – down the road in Banning, CA. I should pay a visit.
They broke the Guinness World Record on January 17 with 331 people playing pinball simultaneously.
And here are some other impressive numbers associated with the museum.
40,000 square feet designated for the first phase of the Museum of Pinball and another 87,000 square feet we've already leased to a local business (which we hope to expand to in the future with more pinball and arcade games).
800 pinball machines and arcade games (both vintage and modern).
According to Martin Grams' book The Twilight Zone: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic, the final scene of "Kick the Can" was filmed on September 14, 1961.

Michael Genz (* 16. Juli 1975) ist ein früherer deutscher Sommerbiathlet.

Michael Genz lebt in Oberaudorf und startete für Immergrün Aising. Der Chemiker wurde von Hans-Ulrich Spengler und Sepp Robeis trainiert. Er nahm erstmals 2002 in Jablonec nad Nisou an Sommerbiathlon-Weltmeisterschaften teil und gewann sofort hinter Marek Matiaško und Maksim Malenkih die Bronzemedaille im Sprint. Es war bis zur Sommerbiathlon-Weltmeisterschaft 2008 in Haute-Maurienne, wo Niklas Heyser wieder eine Medaille gewann, nicht nur die insgesamt erste, sondern über Jahre auch die einzige Medaille eines deutschen Sommerbiathleten. In der Verfolgung fiel Genz auf den sechsten Rang zurück, mit der Staffel wurde er Siebter. Ein Jahr später verbesserte er sich im Staffelrennen an der Seite von Roman Böttcher, Frank Röttgen und Wilhelm Rösch um einen Rang auf Platz sechs. Zudem wurde er 18. im Sprint, 16. der Verfolgung und 14. im Massenstartrennen. Im Sommerbiathlon-Europacup waren zweite Ränge in Sprint, Verfolgung und Massenstart 2002 und 2003 beste Ergebnisse.

Description Dorat, Claude Joseph (1734-1780) À Paris, Chez Didot, l'aîné, Imprimeur & Libraire, Rue Pavée. 1778 Nouv. Ed. Claude Dorat came from a family of attorneys, a profession he rejected. He joined the Corps of the King's Musketeers and after leaving that, turned to the life of a writer. An early work, Réponse d'Abailard à Héloise, became quite popular. Dorat continued to write heroic epistles, light verse, comedies, fables, and novels, none of which were very good. He tried to conceal his failure by paying for expensive, lavishly illustrated publications of his work. He would buy large numbers of seats to his plays in an attempt to hide the inevitable flop. In the end, Dorat drew fire from all directions and was equally disliked by the philosophes and their arch-enemies.

Q: Adding new entry to DataContext db Cause null reference I'm a bit new to DataContext but it should still be simple.
I am developing a bidding site where there are many "Products" with each products many "Bids".
I have 2 tables (persisted in .NET to a DataContext Model):
BIDPRODUCT (with auctionID as primary key)
BIDENTRY (with auctionID as foreign key)
RELATIONSHIP: BIDPRODUCT --> BIDENTRY
I am trying to add 1 product with 1 linked bidentry to the db as such:
(List<Products> and List<BidEntries> is pre-populated)
        DBDataContext db = new DBDataContext();
        BidProduct p = Products.First();
        BidEntry b = Bids.Where(bi => bi.auctionId == p.auctionId).First();

        p.BidEntries.Add(b);

        db.BidProducts.InsertOnSubmit(p);
        db.SubmitChanges();

When p.BidEntries.Add(b) is called I get a null reference on BidEntries!?
if I try a = new on BidEntries I still get a null reference.
What is this!?

A: Have you initialized p.BidEntries to a List<BidEntries>?
The error suggests that it isn't.
You need to ensure that after this point in your code:
 BidProduct p = Products.First();

p.BidEntries is not null - either assign a new List<BidEntry>() to it or ensure that each product has a non null BidEntries property.

Q: Multiline PyParsing example I'm trying to parse something really simple in PyParsing that is multiline but I'm struggling understand why it doesn't work. The string I want to parse is as follows.
string = '''START
    1   10; %   Name1
    2   20; %   Name2
END'''

I know that every line between the START and END tokens will contain one or more positive / negative numbers that can be int or float types. I also expect that a user may optionally add additional meta data after an % sign.
So I start by defining the basic grammar for Floats and Names.
Float = Word(nums + '.' + '-')
Name = Word(alphanums)

I know that a line can contain one or more Float followed by a semi-colon, and optionally by a % Name.
Line = OneOrMore(Float)('data') + Suppress(Literal(';')) + Suppress(Optional(Literal('%'))) + Optional(OneOrMore(Name)('name')) + Suppress(LineEnd())

I expect many lines, so I can define the grammar for Lines as follows.
Lines = OneOrMore(Group(Line))

I use Group as suggested by Paul in this answer to make retrieving possible.
grammar = Suppress(Keyword('START')) + Lines + Suppress(Keyword('END'))

grammar.parseString(string)

However this throws an error that says the following
ParseException: Expected end of line (at char 62), (line:3, col:19)

Full code below for easier copy and pasting.
string = '''START
    1   10; %   Name1
    2   20; %   Name2
END'''

from pyparsing import Word, Keyword, nums, OneOrMore, Optional, Suppress, Literal, alphanums, LineEnd, LineStart, Group

Float = Word(nums + '.' + '-')
Name = Word(alphanums)
Line = OneOrMore(Float)('data') + Suppress(Literal(';')) + Suppress(Optional(Literal('%'))) + Optional(OneOrMore(Name)('name')) + Suppress(LineEnd())
Lines = OneOrMore(Group(Line))

grammar = Suppress(Keyword('START')) + Lines + Suppress(Keyword('END'))
grammar.parseString(string)

Edit :
I've tried the following to no avail either.
string = '''START
    1   10; %   Name1
    2   20; %   Name2
END'''

from pyparsing import Word, Keyword, nums, OneOrMore, Optional, Suppress, Literal, alphanums, LineEnd, LineStart, Group

Float = Word(nums + '.' + '-')
Name = Word(alphanums)
NL = Suppress(LineEnd())
Line = OneOrMore(Float)('data') + Suppress(Literal(';')) + Optional(~NL +
                                                            Suppress(Literal('%'))
                                                            + OneOrMore(Name)('name') + NL ) | NL
Lines = OneOrMore(Group(Line))

grammar = Suppress(Keyword('START')) + Lines + Suppress(Keyword('END'))
grammar.parseString(string)

The only thing that does seem to work is if I use restOfLine
Line = OneOrMore(Float)('data') + Suppress(Literal(';')) + Optional(restOfLine)

However, this does not return the portion after the semi-colon in a structured fashion and I have to parse it separately again. Is that the recommended approach?

A: Removing new lines from the default whitespace characters is what was needed to solve this. As Paul suggested in his comment, other improvements can be made to ensure that it parses floats and names more strictly.
string = '''START
    1   10; %   Name1
    2   20; %   Name2
END'''

from pyparsing import Word, Keyword, nums, OneOrMore, Optional, Suppress, Literal, alphanums, LineEnd, LineStart, Group, ParserElement

ParserElement.setDefaultWhitespaceChars(" \t")

Float = Word(nums + '.' + '-')
Name = Word(alphanums)
NL = Suppress(LineEnd())
Line = OneOrMore(Float)('data') + Suppress(Literal(';')) + Optional(~NL +
                                                            Suppress(Literal('%'))
                                                            + OneOrMore(Name)('name') + NL ) | NL
Lines = OneOrMore(Group(Line))

grammar = Suppress(Keyword('START')) + Lines + Suppress(Keyword('END'))
grammar.parseString(string)

Lara Downes: a classical pianist creates 21st-century opportunities
Bay Area pianist performs two concerts in Portland this weekend
April 10, 2013 // MUSIC // Brett Campbell
By Jana Hanchett
While the stodgy classical world bemoans its diminishing cultural relevance, Lara Downes is embracing the 21st century. "I feel grateful to have grown up in a generation that has faced the absolute end of an era," the Bay Area-based pianist says.
Downes sees the end of one era as the beginning of the next, and she uses contemporary technological savvy to create a welcoming space for classical music in today's culture. Her website is far user-friendlier than many classical sites, and her blog offers her own probing interviews with other pianists and insightful experiences. Downes also provides easy access to her music by posting her music trailers on YouTube and offering her albums on Spotify. In concert, she often uses a Bluetooth-enabled pedal to turn the score pages on her iPad, rather than employing an old school paper score.
Giving herself the freedom to play from the score instead of from memory provides a common-sense solution to the challenges of contemporary times.
"We're not working anymore in an age in which an artist tours all year with one or two recital programs, a repertoire of maybe 12 or 15 pieces per season (or beyond), and an interface with audiences that involves solely playing those pieces, bowing, and going back to the green room!" Downes explains. "So the ability to relate to the printed page in real time, to make spontaneous choices, and to allow for a broader focus, is critical. I think that the technological advances to support these changes are happening in perfect timing. Playing from digital scores is just easy, convenient, and aesthetically lovely. My only problem is that my kids believe that the iPad belongs to them, and I've had a reminder about expiring credits for one of their games pop up on my screen in the middle of a concert!"
You can see Downes's attitude – and iPad – in action twice this weekend. On Saturday, April 13 at 7:30pm, Classic Pianos hosts Downes' new Steinway-label debut recording "Exiles' Café." A cozy cheese, pastry and wine reception follows. Then on Sunday, April 14 at 4 pm, Reed College presents Downes' "Between Two Worlds: Music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold." The concert features a conversation with Kathrin Korngold Hubbard, Korngold's granddaughter. John Hubbard, the husband of Korngold's granddaughter, joins Downes on cello.
The connections Downes creates between classical music and the modern world promote necessary discussions. Downes' CD cover for her "Exiles' Cafe" sparked intense debate on classical music authority Greg Sandow's blog; the stodgies and the modern art lovers went head-to-head on defining authentic, appealing artistry. Downes jumps right into these conversations and disarms everyone with her honesty and wit.
Exploring Exiles
Downes' relevance to 21st-century audiences stems not just from her authentic use of the common technological language, but also from her thoughtful pianism, so evident in her most recent album "Exiles' Café." The problem of exile spans centuries, and on the CD, which explores lesser-known works by composers like Chopin, Milhaud, Bartok, and Weill who were forced to leave their homeland and wander the world, Downes provides fresh insights by including works by contemporary composers. "I think that for me, especially, because at heart I'm a storyteller through my music, my work with composers helps me to bring musical narratives to life in very wonderful ways. 'Exiles' has brought me into a great friendship with the very young composer Mohammed Fairouz, who is doing absolutely extraordinary things, and we're working together now on several commissioning projects."
Downes's contemporary approach to classical music extends beyond performing and commissioning new music, and using modern means to bring it to listeners. She's also finding new ways to reach new audiences for her music. Downes recently created a new series in San Francisco called The Artist Sessions at Yoshi's that enables dialogue between audiences and musicians who are on the cutting-edge of creating and performing compelling, classical music. "It's another way for artists to take charge of the future and to contribute what we've learned as performers to the design of programming, the influencing of tastes and trends, and the development of new audiences," she says.
That take-charge attitude is why Downes, like the exiled composers she admires, has been able to convert challenges – in her case, the changes rocking the classical music field – into opportunities, and explains her gratitude at having entered the field at the outset of a new era. "My teachers watched the structures they knew and relied on fall apart, in terms of government support for the arts, the recording industry, the dwindling (or changing, as I prefer to see it) audience for concert music," she recalls. "Their doom and gloom informed us early on that if we wanted to make a life in music, we would have to actually make one, not just wait for one to happen. So we are out there on the front lines, directing our own projects, creating our own concert series and festivals, producing our own recordings, forming collaborations, and most of all making an audience for what we do. I think that, despite the challenges, this is right and good."

As opposed to the more expensive upscale trampolines on the market, Giantex tries to compete not on looks or refinement, but on great value. A relatively unknown company, their hopes are high. But is it worth your while?
Generally, yes, but with a few caveats. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. To start with, this is a substantial, 15 ft. trampoline, which is amazing on its own, bland design notwithstanding. There are five legs keeping it upright. The trampoline is 90 cm high, but you get a free ladder to ease entry and exit.
The enclosure and the netting is basic. The poles are adequately covered with foam, but the netting goes outside the mat. This means that the pads have to work harder to absorb the eventual impact. But this is usual in this price range and still fairly safe.
The mat is standard-issue, nothing fancy but it does the job fine and will do well with normal use. The pads are made of composite materials – PVC on the outside and expanded polyethylene filling on the inside. While we've seen better and thicker pads, our impacts on the pad went well and the pad absorbed the forces just fine.
Hidden below the pad are 90 springs responsible for the fun with the trampoline. This is not a bad number and will suit undemanding users well. The bounce is not as responsive as in the more expensive and premium models, but it is to be expected. At least that reduces the risk of injury and is safer for kids. The weight limit of 375 lbs. looks impressive on paper, but we wouldn't bet on it, to be honest, as only a bit more expensive models do really offer that kind of limit.
The assembly isn't difficult but does require some handiwork, while the warranty situation is murky. Best to keep your fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong.
This basic trampoline will satisfy the needs of most families who use a trampoline occasionally, but would still like a nicely-sized trampoline. While there is nothing particularly exciting about this trampoline, the most important thing to take away is that nothing's done bad, and that is most important in this price range. It's cheaper than Exacme 15ft round trampoline and arguably even more of a best-buy!


"At an FWC meeting this morning (November 21st) in Key Largo, the seven-member commission unanimously approved a proposal to remove the prohibition on the use of noise-suppressed (i.e., silencer-equipped) rifles and pistols for taking deer, gray squirrels, rabbits, wild turkeys, quail, and crows. The new rule will take effect today. Suppressors previously have been allowed under certain circumstances for hunting in Florida. Firearms using suppressors have a significantly reduced sound, but the sound is still noticeable, i.e., a high-powered rifle sounds more like a .22-caliber rimfire when fired. Florida becomes the 33rd state to allow the use of suppressors for hunting game animals.
Well, good news, I guess. Some folks are in a riot about this encouraging poachers. Champions of the cause claim hearing protection. I'm apathetic – not spending the money nor inviting the ATF into my life, especially when I can get a fistful of free hearing protection at any clay shoot throughout the year.
But, they are pretty cool. I shot a suppressed Ruger 10/22 a few years back and loved it, as all you'd hear was the action and the bullet hitting the barrel the target was taped to.
"Private Ownership: AL, AK, AR, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MO, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY. Even if you live in one of these states, you should verify that owning a suppressor is legal in your area.
If you live in a state where suppressor ownership is legal, and you can legally own a firearm, then you can buy a suppressor.
Silencers are transferred from a dealer to an individual or Trust on an ATF Form 4 (5320.4). Two copies of the Form 4 must be submitted along with other required paperwork listed below. Florida Silencer will help complete the Form 4's.
1. Pick the item you want and receive the serial number from us.
2. Two ATF Form 4′s have to be completed, and signed by purchaser. This form must also be signed by your local Sheriff or Police Chief.
5. Two FBI Fingerprint cards are required. They can only process ink cards. No electronic submissions.
6. A $200 check made out to BATFE is attached to the forms.
7. This paperwork is sent to BATFE for processing.
8. Upon approval, (4-6 months) ATF will return one original Form 4 with a cancelled NFA Tax Stamp.
9. Get the approved paperwork to us and we will get your suppressor or NFA item to you.
1. Locate the item you want from Florida Silencer and receive the serial number from us.
2. Two ATF Form 4′s will be completed and signed by a trustee or corporate officer.
3. A complete copy of your trust or articles of incorporation is required to be submitted with your Form 4′s.
4. A $200 check (in the name of our trust) made out to BATFE is attached to the forms.
5. This paperwork is sent to BATFE for processing.
6. Upon approval, (4-6 months) ATF will return one original Form 4 with a cancelled NFA Tax Stamp.
The 4-6 month wait is a little discouraging – CNN said in April it may take as long as 9 months.
Some initial work and cost is required to setup the trust. Many people create their trust using a do-it-yourself solution – or you can also talk to a gun trust lawyer who will set it up for you.
In some states, a trust needs to be registered with the state – although that is not a requirement in most cases.
As of now, individuals are unable to submit paperwork using the new ATF e-Form system.
Despite my disinclination, there's no doubt that, as a group, hunters get to use some awesome equipment. Thanks to FWC for lifting the ban.
And if anyone has any more knowledge on this process or anything else about hunting with silencers, please share!


Works of Thomas Goodwin - Volume 01, Thomas Goodwin, hard cover - SGPBooks.com, Inc.
Exposition of Ephesians, Thomas Goodwin, 2 volumes.
These two volumes are Volumes I and II of Goodwin's works, plus some other sermons on Ephesians, and his precious little gem, Let Patience Have Its Perfect Work.
There is nothing more, and nothing better that has been written on the first two chapters of Ephesians. All the following expositors of this portion of the Scriptures depended on this great work by Goodwin.
''Goodwin combines in a remarkable fashion two of the main qualities requisite for a successful study of theology: (1) A close attention to careful exegesis, in which every element of the written text of Scripture is the object of painstaking and loving scrutiny. (2) A comprehensive grasp of revealed truth in its entirety and in its structural relationships. In this way, in Goodwin, exegetical and doctrinal theology walk hand in hand, so to speak, every truth is substantiated by Scripture, and every text is carefully analyzed so that the verities [that it reveals may find their proper place in the total organism of the Christian faith. (Introduction by Roger Nicole).
In these expositions Goodwin proves himself to be the very finest of communicators. His detailing of God's words are translated into power in the reader's understanding. The more one reads, the more the truth of God sinks in to the consciousness of the soul's ears. A holy excitement develops when one sees into the inner workings of God's mind given through the Apostle Paul as he was ''being borne along by the Holy Spirit'' (2 Peter 1:21).With Goodwin as guide, not only deep theology is taught, but very personal practical lessons are carried away to live in the hearts and practice of his readers.
Goodwin gives such keen summations of each verse at the end of each chapter one may be lulled into thinking it is enough to just read the summaries. But this would leave such a one the poorer, having skipped over so many exquisite gems of scriptural knowledge as to rob himself of the richest revelations. For Goodwin roams the scriptures to reinforce the subject being discussed, scattering prisms of truth as he goes.


Tyre review data from 11 tyre reviews averaging 89% over 148,561 miles driven.
Sorry, we don't currently have any questions and answers for the Maxxis Bravo AT771. Why not submit a question to our tyre experts using the form below!
I have never had such bad tyres in the wet as these Maxis 4x4 Bravos. They were on the swb Terrano when we bought it and they wear very well but we have to be extremely careful on tight bends due to the skidding back end.
They are quite old I'm told but they have loads of tread on them but I replaced the fronts due to front skidding when braking in the wet and these rear ones will come off this weekend as I would say the situation is dangerous if the rear Bravos are left on. I spoke to an excellent motor engineer who's Merc skids in the wet and guess what his tyre brand is ?
Have you driven on the Maxxis Bravo AT771 tyre?
Please help millions of other drivers make an informed tyre choice and pick the correct tyres for their car by submitting your review of the Bravo AT771.
Previously, I've bought sets of both the Goodyear Wrangler HP (Land Rover's original fitment) and Michelin Latitude Cross tyres. I decided however, that this time around I'd try a set of Maxxis AT771's as the Michelin's proved to work well on the road, but far less well off road, particularly on wet grass.
I generally expect All Terrain tyres to be a bit of a compromise, that said, the Maxxis 771's have really impressed me. The grip off-road is far better that I've experienced before, sure-footed progress up wet bank sides is no problem, likewise the grip on descent provides every confidence that you're not going to lose traction.
On the road, the 771's drive comfortably, they're smooth and surprisingly quiet, with little discernible difference in road / cabin noise to previous tyres despite the higher rating. The Maxxis 771's grip well in the dry and (if driven responsibly!) equally well in the wet, coping easily with moderate snow . After 11 months of use the wear on these tyres is minimal despite the car covering a good many road miles and with luck, they should last at least as well, if not somewhat better, than the Michelin Cross.
Overall, I highly recommend these tyres if you intend using your car both on and off road. I'd happily buy them again.
1. They handle the road really well for an AT tyre, I can still "drive" my car through corners with confidence.
2. Do extremely well on gravel roads. I used to have a 20km daily commute on gravel, with AWD they stick like glue.
4. With correct pressure and rotation and alignment every 10,000km I got 45,000km out of them. And that's with me 'driving' my manual Forester quite hard on windy tar-seal and gravel. Something we have a lot of in New Zealand. For an AWD vehicle this is a great result, my local dealer was well impressed.
Don't hesitate, you'll be pleased with this choice..
I've had various tyres on my 2.5 warrior over the years and have found Maxxis AT771 to have been top performer so far. I only selected these as a cheaper choice between these and grabbers AT2. After 25k they're evenly down to 4mm so will be looking to change imminently, however unless someone provides are good reason to change to at2 then will definitely go with maxxis again.
Have been faultless from initial balancing to motorway, field, farm tracks, rain, mud and snow.
Yes they'll break free in the wet if RWD is selected and you attack the throttle and yes they'll slide on sheet ice....but lets be real.

I have brought another to the crew.
The price was right, it runs and drives well.
I am only seeing clear coat issues at this point.
I will have to read some codes, but judging from a test drive, I believe the issues may be found quickly.
Re: 1997 850 Sedan n/a Black.
My friends van had broken down so I gave her this one. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly go through it yet, but she hasn't had any problems over the winter.
Happy to hear that. I will go over it when I can.
It is working well for her so far.
No issues, but it will need a PCV run through.
I have not yet had a chance to run codes and clear lights. She needed to use it immediately.
She had lost the drivers headlight wiper in a car wash. I have more in storage.
I told her, "No more automated car washes."
I did the brakes on all four corners last week. New rotors and pads.
Had to replace rear calipers, they were rusted solid. There was more rust on these than my '93 Sedan when I got it.
Still need to run codes.
I'm beginning to juggle work between the of the cars so they don't get lonely.
Also trying not to buy any more rescues at this point.

Q: Is there a custom Json Serializer pattern to serialize a property differently including the property's key name? I have a class that needs to be serialized
public class Abc
{
 private long age;
 private JaxBElement<Foo> fooWrapper;
 // other properties
}

The expected output JSON is
{
 "age": 24,
 "my_own_key": "my_own_value" // the key should not be "fooWrapper"

A constraint is that the original class Abc cannot be modified since it is generated out of xjc and I don't want to explore custom class using bindings yet.
I have tried custom serializers, bean modifiers etc. for the JaxBElement and all of them allow me to control the serialization. But they work at the VALUE of the property only. They don't allow me to change stuff at the "KEY-VALUE" level. This is the crux of the question. The key is already written out for the property before the custom serializer is invoked to control the value.
E.g. My custom serializer is invoked only after the Jackson system has emitted out the key
 "fooWrapper": // now for the value part, let me invoke the custom serializer

So the output JSON always contains the "fooWrapper" key.
{ "fooWrapper": { "any-key": "any-value" } }
// the fooWrapper is already emitted out. That is what needs to be controlled.

My ask is to control the serialization at a higher level, such that both the key and value can be controlled. So when class Abc is being serialized, the fooWrapper property should not be written as a key at all and some custom serializer should be invoked.
Another constraint is that there are several classes like Abc which may have such JaxBElement. It is not known ahead of time. So there needs to be a generic way to attach the custom serializer.
The pseudo ask is really that we be able to attach a custom serializer to any class which has a property that matches a pattern such that the serializer can control the name of the property (or the whole key-value blob) written out.
Also, the problem is not specific to JaxBElement per se. It could be any property. The problem is more about controlled serialization INCLUDING the key being written out.

A: Maybe you just use the incorrect kind of Serializer. This post, although a bit old should show you how to do what you want with StdSerializer.
This kind of serializer allows you to control both the key and the value.

A: If you want to control serialisation of key-value pair you need to register custom serialiser not only for JaxBElement<Foo> fooWrapper but also for Abc class to change a key value.
Since it is not a generic solution you can also try to create MixIn class or interface and provide extra configuration:
interface MixInA {

    @JsonSerialize(using = JAXBElementJsonSerializer.class)
    @JsonProperty("newProperty")
    JAXBElement<Foo> getFooWrapper();
}

See also:

*

*What is equivalent code settings for @JSonIgnore annotation?

*Make Jackson serializer override specific ignored fields
Downside of this solution is you have to find all types for which you have to register MixIn class or interface. In case fields are different you need to create many different getters or many different MixIn interfaces to cover them all.
So, probably them most flexible solution would be to implement custom com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.AnnotationIntrospector and for given type you can return custom serialiser and custom name. Simple example:
class DynamicJaxbAnnotationIntrospector extends AnnotationIntrospector {

    @Override
    public Version version() {
        return new Version(1, 0, 0, "Dynamic JaxbElement", "your.package", "jackson.dynamic.jaxb");
    }

    @Override
    public Object findSerializer(Annotated am) {
        if (am.getRawType() == JAXBElement.class) {
            return new JAXBElementJsonSerializer();
        }
        return super.findSerializer(am);
    }

    @Override
    public PropertyName findNameForSerialization(Annotated a) {
        if (a.getRawType() == JAXBElement.class) {

Q: How to send an email in PHP to a user ONLY IF one field is updated I have figured out how to send an email in PHP if any change is done to the table at all.  Using a hook file that creates a function AFTER UPDATE.   However now I want to limit the emails to only when a change is made on one specific field.
The table name is 'compliance' and the field that I want it to send the email if changed is called 'Active'   So here is where I am at but I am dead in the water on the syntax of IF UPDATE.. ?? that line has a syntax error and I am not sure how to do it better.  Any assistance is welcome.
Here is the original code that works to send emails after all updates and even updates a database table with a record of the change so I have an audit trail now too:
function compliance_after_update($data, $memberInfo, &$args){

global $old_data;

foreach($data as $field => $value){
$messageData .= "$field: $value \n";
}
$recID=mysql_insert_id();
sql("insert into membership_userrecords set tableName='compliance' , pkValue='#recID',
memberID=' ".getLoggedMemberID()."', dateAdded=' ".time()."', dateUpdated='".time()."',
groupID= ".getLoggedGroupID().".", $eo);

@mail(
// mail recipient
"email1, email2, email3",

// subject
"A Record in the Driver Compliance table of the database was changed - notification - Driver RECORD NUMBER-{$data['Record_Id']}",

// message
      "The above record {$data['Record_Id']} was just modified by:{$memberInfo['username']} The record was updated on and by:{$data['LastUpdatedby']} \n To view the record please go to \n http://domainname.com/appfoldername/compliance_view.php?SelectedID=".$data['selectedID']."  Newly entered data shows as actual table values below:,
     {$messageData} \n.  The user that changed this record did so from IP Address: {$memberInfo['IP']}  \n\n",

// sender address
"my admin email address goes here"
);
// Capture and log changes to compliance record into the Compliance History Log table
sql("INSERT INTO `Comp_Hist_Log` (`Com_Rec_Id`, `old_data`, `new_data`, `ChangedDate`, `ChangedBy`) VALUES('{$data['Record_Id']}', '{$CapoldData}', '{$messageData}', '{$data['LastUpdated']}', '{$memberInfo['username']}')", $eo);

    return TRUE;

Here is the code that I am having problems with below..

    IF UPDATE ({$data['Active']})
{
@mail(
// mail recipient
"my email address here",

// subject
"A Driver Compliance Status has changed-{$data['Name']}",

// message
         "The above record {$data['Record_Id']} was just modified by: {$memberInfo['username']} The record was updated on and by user id: {$data['LastUpdatedby']},\n. To view the record please go to \n http://bigschoolbus.com/asdata2/compliance_view.php?SelectedID=".$data['selectedID']."  Newly entered data shows as actual table values below:,
     {$messageData}  The user that changed this record did so from IP Address: {$memberInfo['IP']} \n\n",

// sender address
"my admin email address here"
);
    return TRUE;

Any advice?

Reaktionen von 3-Dimethylamino-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin mit Phenolen und Halogenaromaten
Chandrasekhar, B Parthasarathi; Heimgartner, Heinz; Schmid, Hans (1977). Reaktionen von 3-Dimethylamino-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin mit Phenolen und Halogenaromaten. Helvetica Chimica Acta, 60(227):2270-2287.
The reactions of 3-dimethylamino-2,2-dimethylH-2-azirine (1) with phenols are described in chap. 1. The azirine 1 reacts with the 2-formyl- and 2-acetylphenols 5-8 to yield the N'-methylidene derivatives of 2-amino-N,N-dimethyl-isobutyramide 9-12 (Scheme 2, tautomeric form b). These products are in equilibrium with the tautomeric quinoide forms 9a-12a. Under similar conditions 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde did not react with 1. Reaction of 1 with 4-hydroxycoumarine (13) gives the 4-aminocoumarine 14 (Scheme 2). The mechanism of these reactions is analogous to the previously reported one for the reaction of 1 with cyclic enolisable 1,3-diketones [2][3]. Activated phenols with pKa-values <8, e.g. 2- and 4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol and pentachlorophenol, undergo addition reactions with 1 in boiling benzene solution to give the aniline derivatives 15-18 (Scheme 3). A reaction mechanism is given in Scheme 3: after protonation of the azirine 1 followed by attack of the phenolate ion at the amidinium-C-atom, the intermediate of type e undergoes a rearrangement to the spiro-Meisenheimer complexes of type f. Ring opening leads to 15-18. A similar reaction is observed for 2,4-dinitro-thiophenol and 1, giving 2-(N'-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino)-N,N-dimethyl-isobutyrothioamide (19). The azirine 1 reacts with the more acidic 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid) to yield 3,3,6,6-tetramethylpiperazine-2,5-bis(N,N-dimethyliminium) dipicrate (21, Scheme 4). The methacrylamidinium salt 22 is the only product (97% yield) in the reaction of 8-hydroxy-5,7-dinitroquinoline and 1 in acetonitrile solution. The reaction of 1 with picric acid can be explained in a similar way as the previously reported one with strong acids (cf. Scheme I , [1][3][5]). An alternative mechanism without formation of the 1-aza-allylcation c is postulated in Scheme 5, together with a mechanism which could explain the exclusive formation of 22 in the reaction of 1 with 8-hydroxy-5,7-dinitroquinoline. In chap. 2 a few reactions of the azirine 1 with aryl halides are reported. In the reaction with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene it is shown by UV. and NMR., that m,n and o are intermediates (Scheme 6). Working up the reaction mixture with water, hydrogen sulfide or benzylamine leads to the aniline derivatives 17, 19 and 26, respectively. With picryl chloride and 8-hydroxy-5,7-dinitroquinoline the azirine 1 undergoes a nucleophilic aromatic substitution to afford the intermediates p and q, which via deprotonation and ring opening give acrylamidine derivatives (27 and 29, Scheme 7 and 8). The steric hindrance in p and q between the aziridine ring and the two groups in o-position could be the reason for the different behaviour of the intermediates n and p or q (cf. Schemes 6 and 8).

did you got the output for the above one by using list comprehension?
Great tip! BTW is there any reason for using '_' as the dummy variable? What's wrong with using letter, for example 'i'?
_ is used to signify that even though something is being returned, we don't plan to use that variable any where.
You need to put an additional  in addition to [a,b,c]. Because the output that you want is are lists within a list.
It's also an old Perl trick. If you just performed the input command without assigning the data to anything, it was still available in the $_ variable by default.
N is the number to compare the sum of x, y, z. The loop should actually have 4, as mentioned, for the inputs : x,y,z & n.
range() is inclusive of the first number (which is 0, by default), but exclusive of the last one. So "for i in range(5): print i" will give you 0,1,2,3,4 (but not five). In this case, we want to also include the number given, hence the +1. The 0 for the first part range(0,5), is optional, since we are starting at the beginning.
I'm using this one line, but my compiler reads "wrong answer". Am I missing something? What else do I need to write?
I am a newbie to python and its not clear to me. WHY 4? And how the variable iterate from 0 to 1.
range(4) means range(0,4) that is 0,1,2,3 which is because we ahve to read 4 inputs Read list comprehensions for more. It is an easy way to build a list.
How is this syntax even valid. Just wondering.
I think that _ is used as a dummy variable name. Since it's meaning isn't really significant the name can be something representing that.
Wow nice way to take inputs.
in order for this code to work?
although this method is more simple, but it not easy to understand.
I liked this method compared to other's.
Hey, I have heard that int(raw_input()) is faster.
Can you tell me how python carries out list comprehension internally? How come this generates lists in lexicographic increasing order (i.e z increases first, then y, then x)?
We start at [0,0,0]. Then c will increment to get to [0,0,1] When c hits [0,0,z], we get [0,1,0] as the next in the loop. This pattern continues and gives us the lexographical ordering required of the output.
Thank you. This is the a verbose response, but clearly the most elegant to understand what's going on.
Thanks for your solution, now we understand how it's word.
This solution is good! Utilising list comprehension to a good extreme.
I don't like these "direct print" solutions. In my opinion the problem stated to create a list then print it, not just print something in a list. In other words in your solutions the list itself doesn't exist, can not be used later, it just collected when printed out. What do you think?
OK, I found the answer! I can put list = instead of printoing out, then print the list. It wasn't clear for me three for loops output is collected in a list, so no need for any append tricks!
Could someone explain to me what, exactly, this code does (like, statement-by-statement)(other than the input part I understand that I mostly mean the list comprehension)? I sort of have a basic understanding of how it works, but having some trouble wrapping my head around list comprehensions and how exactly the work. Mostly the "for a in range(0,x+1)" parts. What exactly does that do? Why is it (0,x+1)? Thanks in advance.
Just search for something like 'python range' and you will get pages like this.
just for curiosity, why you are using range(0,x+1) in the print function?
why do you need two square brackets? Can someone explain this to me?
hello.. I tried to do as u said. But it is showing syntax error.
I'm new to python, but how come nobody seems to be using ":" after their for loops. You don't even use one for the if loops at the end.
exactly what I had, expect I left the 0 implicit. Is it good practice to make the range explicit?
For this program it is fine. But in real time data range may not be static.
how is list comprehension workin here?
This is not usable with python 3 , shows error..!!
The problem states that it wants the output list printed in 'increasing order'. It should be more clear what this means. I initially interpreted this to mean that [1,1,0] would come before [3,0,0] because 1+1+0=2 is less than 3+0+0=3. But this is not the order that the comprehension list method would generate the list. And would likely involve some method of sorting a 3D array that many new users would not know at this point, so I'm assuming this is not what is meant. This problem is not clarified with the chosen example values of x=1, y=1, z=1, and N=2.
The problem could be addressed by just using larger example values, allowing us to infer from the example output which interpretation of 'increasing order' is intended.
What does N represent? Why should X+Y+Z not equal N? And what do the subscript i's represent? I don't understand the question.
@scintilla read the question properly. 0<=Xi<=X same for Yi and Zi.N is specified in the question.
I am sooooooooooooo confused with the question holy cow.
You can't just say "Read the question properly". He said he doesn't understand the syntax of the question.
This is a type of mathematic short-hand that not all of us understand. I for one don't even know what this short-hand is called or I'd look it up myself.
Thank you for the follow-up shashank21j, your revision to the statement has been helpful, but I still have some questions about the way the question is worded and why.
1.Why must i+j+k not be equal to N and does this mean it can be greater than N?
2.Please define "lexicographic increasing order"
I for one agree that list comprehension in python is a fairly simple subject, the crux of this problem for me however, is bridging the communication gap/understanding the essance of the problem you're asking.
Many people who use your site are self taught in coding and do not have a formal discrete mathematics background.
i + j + k != N is just an added condition in this problem so you can use 1 if statement inside your list compehension syntax. It can be greater than N as long as i, j and k are in their respective limits.
Lexicographic order is sorted order where 1, 1, 1 comes before 1, 1, 2 and 2, 1, 2 comes before 2, 2, 1 etc. etc.
Shouldn't the statement include that X,Y,Z are integers that are possible maximums? It is a fairly important point no? For example dimensions of 2,2,2 given the statement as it currently is, means there is only 1 possible cube with 8 coordinates.
Where as if we said that 2 is the max integer value for X,Z,Y , we can have more than 1 possible cuboid. For example a 1,1,2 cuboid.
I have also difficulty understanding the question.
You're given 4 numbers. The first 3 correspond to the maximum dimensions of a cube. y is the maximum height, x is the maximum width, and z is the maximum depth.
You're supposed to calulate every possible set of dimensions [x,y,z], under the condition that none exceed the input values, and that x+y+z does not add up to n.
thanks that was very helpful!
Thanks for the explanation eric. I've just one more question that in this lexicographic order the last dimension is [1,1,1], but our N is given to be 2. Thus the sum of x+y+z becomes 3 which is greater than N. How is this condition satisfied?? Pls explain.
The only restriction relating to N is that i + j + k != N. i+j+k>N is perfectly valid.
I agree that what you say is the intention of the challenge, But my problem with this challenge is that it never states that X,Y,Z are maximums.
Sample input of 2,2,2 can only be 1 cube with 8 dimensions.
I feel like the statement should be change to express what you are saying, that X,Y,Z correspond to maximum integer dimensions.
I feel like I am missing the point of this exercise with my solution. Can someone please comment on how to make my code more pythonesque and utilize list comprehensions better.
why does this code not work? can you explain?
The inputs should be captured before the for loop is executed. In this case, a new input is expected for every iteration of the for loop. Try capturing the inputs first inside some variables and use those variables here. That will work.
bro can you please explain the code?
I'm trying to teach myself Python, and reading this question honestly made me want to give it up. I had no idea what was being asked or how to go about it. If you have the time could you give me an idea of your step by step process for coming to this solution, as far as you can remember? I generally understand what you've done here, but I want to know how to come to a similar conclusion when I encounter a similar problem.
Ive been finding myself working backwards when I 'figure' a hard problem. I usually don't know why the solution works, so I try to reverse engineer all the elements that work it.
we create a placeholder list [l,j,k] that iterates over a range from zero to the provided integers. since range is not inclusive, we can find this range by saying range(x+1) since it will provide a list of 0...1...2. we then define how each placeholder int iterates by each subsequent range declaration. After we provide the context of the iteration, we provide an if statement that the sum of all three iterables can't equal n. How the heck the computer does that magic...I don't know.
Someone correct me but this is the best I understand the solution. Even if I'm very wrong, just explaining it helps me understand it.
Ok, after hours trying to actually understand the problem, and after trying to solve it in reverse, I hope to bring some clarity for those who are having a hard time trying to solve or to understand what exactly needs to be done and what the codes posted here are actually doing. I did this using Python 3.
Ignoring the mathematical terms, the problem wants you to create a list in a concise way (that's called 'List Comprehension'). Which consists on creating a list using 'for' and, possibly, 'if' (in case you want an extra condition in that list).
In this case, it asks you to create multiple lists using 3 'for' clauses: i, j and k. In each theses clauses you will choose an range to vary from 0, which will be called x (for clause i), y (for clause j) and z (for clause k).
The challenge here is to create every possible list that will show all values from the chosen ranges (x, y and z) in a way that the the predecessor number will change to the next value from the range only AFTER the successor number shows all it's values first.
Before trying an example, first a reminder: As seen in previous challenges, in a 'for' clause, the value of a range will vary (as a standard) from 0 to the predecessor number in that range. I.E.: for A in range(2): will output 0 and 1, but not 2.
Now, let's try to solve it with a simple example: I'll set both, x, y and z to 1, just to make it easier.
for i in range(x + 1): #it will output 0, and will only output 1 after the next conditions ('for j' and 'for k') are met.
for j in range (y + 1): #it will output 0, and will only output 1 after the next condition ('for k') is met.
for k in range (z + 1): #it will output 0 and then 1.
As you can see, it made 8 different output variations.
Now, to the last part of the problem... It creates one extra condition: it will NOT print the outputs which the sum of the values inherited by i, j and k equals to the integer 'n'.
if i + j + k != n: #before printing the result, it will exclude the output which 'i' + 'j' + 'k' is the same as 'n'.
That's an extense explanation, but I'm just trying to make it as clear as possible for those who, just like me, are having a hard time figuring out what the problem wants and what the codes posted here and in the examples are really doing. Hope it helps someone.
Can any one please tell me what is wrong with my code.
I face the same problem. Any idea?

The burden of expectations
October 11, 2009 23:52 IST
The decision to award the highly prestigious Nobel Peace Prize to United States President Barack Obama has clearly taken the world by surprise even as Mr. Obama himself seems a bit overwhelmed by the extraordinary gesture. It reflects the tremendous hope that has underlined the emergence of Mr. Obama as a world figure on whom is placed the burden of enormous expectations. The Nobel committee's logic appears to be a proactive one. The peace prize is not just about recognising achievement. It is also meant to be a catalyst for positive change. The entire world knows that Mr. Obama has triggered strong opposition from the American establishment for his bold ideas on nuclear disarmament, his advocacy of dialogue with Iran, North Korea, and even Myanmar, and his emphasis on the need for a just resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli dispute based on mutual recognition of the inalienable rights of both peoples to security and sovereignty. If the President has so far managed to take only baby steps in the direction of all these goals, one reason could be the extent to which his ideas are being opposed by entrenched interests and lobbies in the U.S.
This said, the conferring of the Nobel award on a leader young in office and still relatively untested has evoked criticism. The decision has been seen in some quarters as premature, going against the tradition which has indeed boosted the Nobel Peace Prize's prestige, that the award is given in recognition of actual achievements in bringing about peace. Like every politician with a feel for global politics and power, Mr. Obama must long have nurtured the ambition of achieving that recognition. He might have preferred winning the award when the fruits of his promised diplomatic exertions become a little more apparent. The gestation period for the birth of peace in West Asia is obviously longer than the nine months Mr. Obama has been in the White House for. The promised abolition of nuclear weapons would not happen in his lifetime, the U.S. President has famously said in Prague earlier this year. But intermediate arms control can be accomplished in a matter of months and it would seem that the Norwegians could have waited at least until 2010 when his selection would have looked less arbitrary and premature. Perhaps the Nobel committee hopes the peace prize will increase Mr. Obama's domestic bargaining power while simultaneously making it harder for him to abandon the course he has set should the political pressure get unbearable. Yet this high level assertion of faith in Mr. Obama's sincerity and capability should make it easier for him to take bold strides in diplomatic initiatives in West Asia and on the disarmament front.

Q: Did Saruman rescue Gollum from the Wood-Elves? At the Council of Elrond Legolas reveals that Gollum has escaped during a well-planned Orc attack. According to Legolas the Orcs were from over the mountains and unused to the woods but they headed back via Dol Guldur and the Wood-Elves were afraid to follow them. The unspoken assumption was that Sauron was behind it but that route makes more sense if they were heading to Isengard. Sauron had already personally interrogated Gollum about the Ring whereas Saruman may have thought Gollum worth questioning.

A: I've always thought that there are some canonicity issues with 'The Hunt for the Ring' (Unfinished Tales), but if we accept this material then the answer is 'no'. From version A:

So it was that Sauron prepared two strokes ... The orcs assailed the
  realm of Thranduil with orders to recapture Gollum ...

and from version B:

[Sauron] attacked Thranduil and Gondor at about the same time. He had
  these two additional objects: to capture or kill Gollum, or at least
  to deprive his enemies of him...

Finally, the route toward Dol Guldur makes the most sense if the orcs were in fact heading for Dol Guldur.

A: Sauron was behind the attack, and it was directed by the Nazgûl
In Tolkien's The Hunt for the Rings manuscripts, he says that this attack was orchestrated by Sauron, with one or more of the Nazgûl present on scene to direct it.
Sauron had already interrogated Gollum, but the goal here was to make sure no one else did the same. Sauron discovered that Gandalf was visiting Gollum and he did not want Gandalf to be able to pry any information about the ring from him.

Several of the Nazgûl must remain in A[nduin] Vale. One or more actually direct the attack on Thranduil when Gollum escapes. Sauron thinks it vital to have him captured again and/or killed.

So it was that Sauron prepared two strokes - in which many saw the beginnings of the War of the Ring. They were made together. The Orcs assailed the realm of Thranduil, with orders to recapture Gollum; and the Lord of Morgul was sent forth openly to battle against Gondor.

Sauron heard the disquieting news that the Wise were aware of Gollum, and that Gandalf had passed into Thranduil's realm.
Sauron must then have been filled with anger and alarm. He resolved to use the Ringwraiths as soon as he could, for speed rather than secrecy was now important. Hoping to alarm his enemies and disturb their counsels with the fear of war (which he did not intend to make for some time), he attacked Thranduil and Gondor at about the same time. He had these two additional objects: to capture or kill Gollum, or at least to deprive his enemies of him; and to force the passage of the bridge of Osgiliath, so that the Nazgûl could cross, while testing the strength of Gondor.

A: Unlikely; "the mountains" that Legolas mentions are most probably the Mountains of Mirkwood, and he says later in the same passage that they had tracked the Orcs close to Dol Guldur:

We have failed to recapture Gollum. We came on his trail among those of many Orcs, and it plunged deep into the Forest, going south. But ere long it escaped our skill, and we dared not continue the hunt; for we were drawing nigh to Dol Guldur, and that is still a very evil place; we do not go that way.

There doesn't seem to be any evidence that Saruman was even aware of Gollum, and it's getting too close to "what do you think of my theory?" territory to go any further.

A: I think you've looked at all the text there is on this question; but I don't see that the text allows us to come to any kind of decision on this. There's no discussion anywhere in the book of how Saruman may have come to know of Gollum's existence, or his whereabouts; nor of why he would have considered Gollum worth questioning if he already felt he had power and a ring of his own. Saruman already knew where the Ring was, or close enough.
