NNL Unveils Transformative Nuclear for Net Zero Modelling
National Nuclear Lab News
NNL has published a ground-breaking new modelling report demonstrating the role nuclear can play in delivering the UK's net zero goals.
This is the first time that such diverse, scalable and low-cost applications for nuclear technologies have been fully represented across the whole energy system. By including such a range of applications for nuclear technology within the model – which in itself is innovative by assessing the whole energy system, not just the power sector – this work reveals potential routes to de-risk and lower the cost of achieving net zero.
The modelling, which was conducted with independent specialists from Energy Systems Catapult and LucidCatalyst, considers the whole energy system on the path to net zero. This includes the role of nuclear in providing not just electricity but also heat, hydrogen and synthetic fuels. This work was completed through the £46m Advanced Fuel Cycle Programme (AFCP), which is led by NNL in partnership with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) as part of the £505m Energy Innovation Programme.
By adding to the national and international dataset that considers pathways to decarbonisation, this modelling provides government and industry with crucial information to support their decision-making. It has already been used to underpin AFCP's net zero roadmap, which will be published later this year.
Dr Fiona Rayment, Chief Science and Technology Officer of NNL, said:
"To enable the deep decarbonisation that is required to meet net zero, it is clear that we need to completely and utterly transform the totality of our energy system. The challenge our sector needs to overcome is not technical, but economic; by co-generating zero-carbon electricity with a new supply of green hydrogen, fuels and heat, nuclear can make a vital, and commercially viable, contribution to the UK's future energy mix.
Until now, full UK energy system modelling showing the role of nuclear beyond the generation of electricity – including hydrogen and synthetic fuels – has not existed. This first-of-its-kind study adds considerably to the developing database of future UK energy system scenarios and provides evidence needed by decision-makers to inform future UK energy strategy and policy."
Scott Milne, Head of Insights at Energy Systems Catapult, said:
"Our analysis shows that to meet net zero in the UK we need to vastly increase the production of three zero carbon energy vectors – electricity, hydrogen and district heating.
The modelling we performed for NNL explores the cost and performance parameters that would need to be achieved by a range of nuclear technologies in order to contribute – alongside renewables and carbon, capture & storage – to the rapid scale-up of those three energy vectors.
Across the range of technology options explored in the modelling, the ability to deliver flexible co-generation of multiple energy vectors from individual reactors, offers particular value. Our analysis shows how nuclear can help to minimise the overall physical footprint of the energy system and contribute to achieving net zero at least cost to society."
Kirsty Gogan, Managing Director at LucidCatalyst, said:
"This modelling presents valuable new insights for the UK's net zero transition. These opportunities were either grossly under-represented in – or completely absent from – previous energy system modelling. Including their transformative potential offers a radical new perspective on our prospects for affordable and rapid decarbonisation."
Eric Ingersoll, Managing Director at LucidCatalyst said:
"If we can produce clean drop-in substitute fuels at scale, this reduces the extent of transformation required. This is a major benefit in terms of lowering the overall investment, disruption and behaviour change required to maintain energy services. Essentially, this offers an opportunity to decouple energy from emissions without increasing cost or decreasing performance."

Q: How to accept shorter user input into Element UI DatePicker? In an existing code base the ElementUI and Vue2 packages got updated. The users are relying on what looks to be unintended behavior from the outdated DatePicker UI component.
The date is visually formatted as 30/01/2022 in the input field of the DatePicker elements.
To speed up typing users were entering 30012022 into the field instead. This behavior disappeared after the updates. Only entering the date with the / separator gets accepted.
How do I overwrite the vendor methods of the ElementUI Date Time component to ease the input validation?

A:
Replacing validation can be done by wrapping the el-date-picker into your own component. The trick is to use $nextTick inside mounted() and then access the method you want to replace through a reference on the wrapped component.
A small code example of the .vue file using TypeScript:
<template>
  <el-date-picker
    ref="customDatePicker"
    :type="type"
    :size="size"
    :value="value"
    :clearable="clearable"
    :format="displayFormat"
    :value-format="valueFormat" />
</template>

<script lang="ts">
import moment from 'moment'
import { Component, Prop, Vue } from 'vue-property-decorator'

type PickerType = 'year' | 'month' | 'date' | 'dates' | 'datetime' | ' week' | 'datetimerange' | 'daterange' | 'monthrange'
type Size = 'large' | 'small' | 'mini'

@Component
export default class RexDatePicker extends Vue {
  @Prop()
  readonly value: any

  @Prop({ type: String, default: 'small' })
  readonly size!: Size

  @Prop({ type: String, default: 'date' })
  readonly type!: PickerType

  @Prop({ type: String, default: 'yyyy-MM-dd' })
  readonly valueFormat!: string

  data() {
    return {
      clearable: this.$attrs.clearable !== 'false'
    }
  }

  get displayFormat() : string {
    if (this.type === 'year') {
      return 'yyyy'
    }
    return 'dd/MM/yyyy'
  }

  mounted() {
    this.$nextTick(() => {
      var elPicker: any = this.$refs.customDatePicker
      if (this.type === 'date' || this.type === 'daterange') {
        // inject custom date input behavior
        const originalParseFunction = elPicker.parseString
        elPicker.parseString = function (value) {
          value = expandNumbersToDate(value)
          return originalParseFunction(value)
        }
      }
    })
  }
}

function expandNumbersToDate(value) {
  // expects String, Date or an Array of those two
  if (Object.prototype.toString.call(value) === '[object String]') {
    var currentMonth = moment().format('MM')
    var currentYear = moment().format('YYYY')
    value = value.replace(/^[^\d]*(\d{2})[^\d]*$/, `$1/${currentMonth}/${currentYear}`)
    value = value.replace(/^[^\d]*(\d{2})(\d{2})[^\d]*$/, `$1/$2/${currentYear}`)
    value = value.replace(/^[^\d]*(\d{2})\/?(\d{2})\/?(\d{4})[^\d]*$/, '$1/$2/$3')
  }
  if (Array.isArray(value)) {
    value = value.map(date => expandNumbersToDate(date))
  }
  return value
}

The way I see it, beauty retouching is actually easier than personality and portrait retouching, because you can take more licence, and you're allowed a more retouched look. Funnily enough, the images that look less retouched are often more work than heavily retouched images where you just go to town and happily dodge and burn your way to flawlessness. Less is literally more!
What's my style of beauty retouching? Firstly, I like to make the model look strong, as opposed to bland and mundane, which is how most mortals tend to come straight out of the camera – even models! I like to strengthen the image itself through colour, contrast and a lot of selective 'balancing' work. The degree of flawlessness depends on the project or client brief, and the destination of the image. I like keeping skin well shaped, and I strongly dislike retouching where the highlight is lost and you get flat faces. Often I push in more highlight if I'm allowed.
Retouching for clients is very different from retouching my own photo-work, and it's a process of getting to know the photographer's style and respecting it, to make the work unique to their style and bringing life to the photographers vision. Sometimes this involves a lot of guesswork and sometimes some reserch on a photographer's references. When it's commercial work I tend to assume that everything ends up poster size – let's say – I've learnt my lesson in the past! If the retouching work is really successful, that may very well be the outcome, because the client will suddenly find more uses for an image that was originally not in great favour. That the image is printable to most commercial standards is essential. Good images deserve to be printed, and retouching for print output and the internet-only are two distinctly different things!
If you want to get a rough impression of how much the images are retouched and how they are retouched, look at the before-after gallery. I say you'll get a rough feel, because on the internet everything is a fraction of the original size.

It follows a review of the financial submission from Birmingham City for the three year period 2015/16 to 2017/18 where it was determined the Club had recorded losses in excess of the £39.0m upper loss threshold.
On 14 August 2018 the Club was charged with a breach of those Rules. At a hearing on 18 March 2019, the Club pleaded guilty to the charge, and after hearing representations from both parties, the panel has fully considered the matter and ruled a nine point deduction is appropriate, which will take effect in the current season.

Rustam Minnikhanov: 'We understand where to get hydrogen, but where will we get the bacteria?'
The Tatarstan president expressed his interest in bioprotein production and agreed with a Khimgrad resident's criticism
Photo: tatarstan.ru
"Russia is a large gas producer. Perhaps, we can take the initiative and create a federal programme," Rustam Minnikhanov outlined the future introduction of technology to make biological fodder protein from methane (associated petroleum gas) in a businesslike manner. Soviet scientists' know-how that didn't become a reality in the USSR and was supported by Putin's daughter's Innopraktika foundation was tabled at a meeting of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding's Board of Directors. The project obtained a positive assessment — there will be created a taskforce comprising Kazan National Research and Technological University and Kazan Federal University. Innovative Technologies manufacturing protective coatings (a Khimgrad resident) got another envious chance.
Know-how from Divnogorie
Tatarstan can become a pilot region to produce biological fodder protein made from methane. At least, the republic's interest in this new area in biotechnologies was expressed at another board meeting of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding on 31 March, which was traditionally chaired by the republic's President Rustam Minnikhanov. They talked about setting up the production of biological fodder protein, which is imported to Russia to provide fodder with more nutritious and quality additives. By experts' estimates, Russia's annual demand for it is around 2 million tonnes, while the republic needs about 75-100,000 tonnes. It is often replaced with imported soya.
Scientist and researcher Sergey Glukhikh working at Divnogorie company presented the production concept of the valuable biological product. As a scientist, he has dedicated his scientific career to this topic and keeps doing research in Pushchino in Voronezh. Officially, his report named boringly Gaprin — Bioprotein from Methane. In fact, this had an old scientific development to make bioprotein from methane that was forgotten in the USSR but didn't have the time to be produced, probably, after the dissolution of the country, behind it.
Sergey Glukhikh briefly reminded the audience that around 30 Soviet research centres worked on it, while the main factory was based in Svetly Yar. It started to make protein from yeast that grew in a reactor feeding with refined products for the first time. In the end, the technology was borrowed by European countries — Denmark, Norway. According to him, the transfer of the Soviet technology went on. A Danish plant making bioprotein recently began to be owned by the USA.
According to Sergey Glukhikh, the production of fodder additives from methane is profitable for the country because the technology is based on associated petroleum gas
"It moved to an American company that is trying to manufacture protein for fish. While we buy fodder for fish abroad, though we could solve this problem on our own," the scientist and researcher noted.
On the other hand, Russian foundations entered the fray for this technology. As Sergey Glukhikh said, Innopraktika foundation, where Vladimir Putin's daughter works, united with Biopraktika, which launched the country's first industrial unit making bioprotein, a few months ago.
According to Sergey Glukhikh, the production of fodder additives from methane is profitable for the country because the technology is based on associated petroleum gas (APG). The country annually burns 24 billion cubic metres of fuel, though it could be absorbed by 20 plants with a capacity of 100,000 tonnes each.
"100 mobile facilities could overshadow the environmental impact of 24bn cubic metres of APG," he said in his speech at the board meeting.
According to him, there is a database of bioprotein projects, while a breakthrough technology could become a reality in Tatarstan. "I won't lie if I say that such partnership can work miracles," Sergey Glukhikh flattered the region in the end.
The head of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding replied that such projects existed only abroad
If bioprotein will appear in Tatarstan or not
"Rafinat, you have probably delved into the topic. Are there projects that have been tested?" the president asked Director General of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding Rafinat Yarullin.
Rustam Minnikhanov also specified that he was interested in real production, not test units. The head of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding replied that such projects existed only abroad.
"And it requires some bacteria," the president continued asking questions.
"This is the root of the problem," Mr Yarullin shared his fears.
"We understand where to get hydrogen, but where will we get the bacteria?" Rustam Minnikhanov asked point-blank.
"We have a collection of microorganisms," Sergey Glukhikh joined the conversation. "They all have been tested for efficacy and safety."
The head of the republic asked the profit margin of the production and consumption volumes. After he learnt the republic consumed little, he didn't become sad. Sergey Glukhikh offered to export it.
In conclusion, the president summed up: the topic is unique, interesting. And he tasked people who were at the meeting with creating a taskforce and including representatives of Kazan National Research and Technological University and Kazan Federal University.
Patrakov assured the audience that his company was ready to offer a competitive salary but he would like universities to open access to senior students
How to stop an outflow of Kazan students
The food topic was discussed with a different focus in a speech given by Director General of Natural Health Sergey Patrakov. The resident of Khimgrad transferred the production from neighbouring Udmurtia to Tatarstan in February 2020. At the same time, he has representative offices in Turkey and the UAE. After he moved to Kazan, the resident faced a shortage of workforce. This is what he said at the beginning of his speech.
According to his observations, Kazan students go to Moscow and Saint Petersburg after graduation from universities and leave the city without fresh power. In his opinion, this happens because young people want to compensate for the money invested in higher education. It is approximately 2,3 million rubles. By Sergey Patrakov's calculations, with current salaries, the expenses can return in "6 years and 4 months" if "one eats and drinks nothing".
"We have found a way of slowing down the outflow of young professional specialists," he claimed.
Patrakov assured the audience that his company was ready to offer a competitive salary but he would like universities to open access to senior students. "They don't see where they can apply the knowledge they learnt. If universities need it, we would like to have a chance of communicating," he addressed rectors who were at the meeting.
The president supported him without reservation. "Access to students will help to solve this problem, communication should be established after the third year," he agreed. The head of the republic admitted that serious staff problems arise on the periphery and recommended choosing future specialists immediately from the 3rd and 4th years. "And they should receive information and contact an employer," Minnikhanov thinks.
The head of the republic acknowledged that it was important to get feedback and instructed the Tatarstan Ministry of Economy with elaborating export issues
A kefir glass for 9 rubles or natural kisel for 11
Later, the head of Natural Health switched to the main topic — baby food. According to Sergey Patrakov, his company supplies kisel made of natural ingredients. He put examples of costs on schoolchildren's meals. According to him, in Tatarstan, 9 out of 50 rubles for lunch are spent on kefir one can have an allergy to. In Udmurtia, kisel that contains starch, colourants is offered for 14 out of 50 rubles.
"In other words, it contains nothing beneficial. It is better to drink water, it will be more beneficial," Petrakov claimed.
While his company started to supply kisel that contains a child's daily intake of vitamins to China (a glass will cost 11 rubles). Here the food budget per schoolchild is 428 rubles. Moreover, a third of school age children in China total 4,3 million people. Why do Chinese schoolchildren eat three times a day at school? According to Sergey Petrakov, they eat more because together with knowledge a schoolchild is taught a skilled job so that he or she can earn money if there is no money for higher education.
Orthopaedics is another area. The company makes hypoallergenic cushions, orthopaedic mattresses. The head of Natural Health company talked about their advantages in detail. In general, he made a number of remarks about rent rates and the operation of industrial parks.
"Let's start with the cushion," the Tatarstan president cheerfully backed him. "Your cushion isn't worse than an imported one, we use it. It is comfortable, good."
Switching to a serious conversation, the head of the republic acknowledged that it was important to get feedback and instructed the Tatarstan Ministry of Economy with addressing export issues.
Yekaterina Smirnova said that their company used global manufacturers' components, offers unique anti-fire and heat insulating coatings, actively works with engineering organisations but couldn't get access to a construction site
"Terms of reference aren't realised"
Another resident of Khimgrad — a company manufacturing protective coatings for industrial facilities — cautiously complained about difficulties with getting to big construction sites of the republic. Vice Director of Innovative Solutions Yekaterina Smirnova said that their company used global manufacturers' components, offered unique anti-fire and heat insulating coatings, actively worked with engineering organisations but couldn't get access to a construction site.
"For instance, we have an intumescent coating that achieves up to 120 minutes fire resistance. There is super thin liquid heat insulation. Americans have two modifications of ingredients, while we do five. It has environmental resistance, doesn't require special skills," she said. "Unfortunately, we can't show interesting facilities where our materials are used. In most cases, we face a situation in which terms of reference aren't realised. We would like to pay attention to this issue."
Yekaterina Smirnova had to show her character: it became impossible to show a presentation during her speech, and she had to do without a demonstration of products.
"Here is the minister," Rustam Minnikhanov sighed. "I think what you have said here... And even if the half is true, it already attracts us."
"But we regularly show experiments," Smirnova tried to explain.
"We don't need experiments. Choose facilities, so that we both get a benefit. Let's work on it. And if your words coincide with what you say, we will use your materials in the design of our facilities, we will turn to you. Let's use them in pilot facilities if the price is acceptable," the president promised.

I am not sure why I got a different equation last time. Sorry if the attachments are not clear. Next time, I will try to use math editor. Please advise whether I am correct.
get rid of the factor of $x$ in front and you'll have it correct.
There is one real solution.

Please advise whether I am correct.
That is the correct equation, but $y$ and $z$ can be eliminated without dividing by anything that might be zero.
Note that $\displaystyle \lambda^3 + 4\lambda - 40$ is the determinant of the matrix of coefficients of $x$, $y$ and $z$ in the original three equations.
Can you prove that $\displaystyle \lambda^3 + 4\lambda - 40 = 0$ has only one real solution?
and calculated the discriminant which is less than 0 and hence it has one real root.
Last edited by skipjack; June 30th, 2018 at 11:01 PM.
Perhaps a simpler way of showing it has only one real root is to realize that $\lambda^3+4\lambda -40$ is strictly increasing.

Making the Onam Pookkalam: Onam is a Kerala harvest festival, celebrated by making a temporary mandala of flowers and rice and by feasting.
Stephy, Meera and Anjaly have been at Snehibhavan for several years; they seem confident of themselves and their future.
Girls, dressed in their school uniforms, wash breakfast dishes. Everyone gets up early to do chores, study and prepare for the day ahead.
Just arrived: Sisters Vaiga and Vaishnavi arrived at Snehibhavan recently, rescued from poverty and abuse by a local social worker.
A view of farmland purchased with money bequeathed to AID Lewisburg from the late Bucknell University professor Sally Nyquist.
Daisy, one of the original inhabitants of Snehibhavan, cuts jackfruit—large starchy fruits that grow easily and provide a food source.
Planting tea at the new farm site. The sustainable farm initiative is intended to help make Snehibhavan self-supporting and to provide local employment.
The original Snehibhavan building is on the left. The new one, completed last January, is separated by a stairway. Both buildings are built into the hillside. Note the climbing gourds on the wall.
Some food for the hostel comes from a small garden plot near the hostel. Sajini proudly displays beans she picked.
Sajini and her husband Matthews. Sajini is the moving force behind the hostel, but Matthews is also untiringly dedicated to the mission of protecting, nurturing and educating tribal and dalit girls.
For some Lewisburg, PA, community members, supporting the home and helping the girls secure an education, life purpose and sense of belonging has grown into a passion.
The Lewisburg chapter of AID (Association for India's Development) was founded in summer 2007 to support Snehibhavan.
"I went on a trip to India for a month and stayed with a woman named Lalu Philip, who lived in Lewisburg when her husband was a visiting professor [at Bucknell University]," said Paula Closson Buck, vice president and founder of AID Lewisburg.
That "something" became the founding of The Jackfruit Project, which evolved into AID Lewisburg. Ten years later, with an annual operating budget of $22,000, AID Lewisburg provides the girls of Snehibhavan with a healthy diet, ongoing education and tutoring, counseling, classes in skills from tailoring to self-defense, and career mentoring. The journey has not been easy.
That early vision is now becoming reality. Thanks to a generous bequest from Sally Nyquist, a retired Bucknell University professor who passed away a year ago, AID Lewisburg facilitated in spring 2017 the purchase of 10 acres in the nearby tea-growing region of Vagamon.
Closson Buck and AID Lewisburg president Kathi Hannaford visited the girls' home in January 2017 prior to the purchase of the land to meet with Sajini, her husband and local supporters to develop strategies to utilize the funds. Consultants based in Kerala helped the team develop a comprehensive plan for the land, which includes six phases of development. The goal is to create a farm that will provide not only food for the home and produce to sell, but also space for cultural exchanges and agritourism. Ponds have been dug; roads reinforced; and tea, cardamom, nutmeg, pepper, coconut and fruit trees planted.
Later stages will include developing on-site food processing and building traditional huts on the property to open up possibilities for ecotourism in the form of farm stays.
Besides the farm project, AID Lewisburg has seen the expansion of the home itself, including the building of a new dormitory and living space for the girls, completed in January 2017.
Hannaford added that Sajini, who serves as director of the home and is a Dalit, is a person of amazing energy and dedication. She is joined by a farm manager, cook, tutor and an administrative assistant to help keep the home thriving.
Several members from AID Lewisburg have visited the girls' home, as have members of other AID chapters. Hannaford and Closson Buck stress there is a need for longer-term volunteers to help the girls with English skills and work on the farm.
While Rosaria Gabriele has never visited the home or farm, she is proud to have played a role in the project's success from afar. Gabriele, based in Lewisburg, has been involved with AID Lewisburg for the past seven years and is an appointed member of the executive committee. She was initially attracted to AID Lewisburg after attending dinner-fundraisers organized by Nyquist, and became increasingly interested after learning all funds raised go directly to the girls and the home's operation.

Acclaimed journalist Randall Sullivan follows Russell Poole, a highly decorated LAPD detective who in 1997 was called to investigate a controversial cop-on-cop shooting, eventually to discover that the officer killed was tied to Marion "Suge" Knight's notorious gangsta rap label, Death Row Records. During his investigation, Poole came to realize that a growing cadre of black officers were allied not only with Death Row, but with the murderous Bloods street gang. And incredibly, Poole began to uncover evidence that at least some of these "gangsta cops" may have been involved in the murders of rap superstars Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.

The Killing of Tupac Shakur
By: Cathy Scott
Narrated by: Elise Black
Poet, movie star, revolutionary - Tupac Amaru Shakur was the most popular rapper in the world. No one symbolized the violence at the heart of gangsta rap more than Tupac, and he ultimately fell victim to that violence, gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas at the age of 25. This raw, no-holds-barred account discloses new information about the unsolved murder of Tupac: the failed investigation, the rap wars, the killing of Biggie Smalls, the Bloods-Crips connection, and the many possible motives leading to the murder that rocked the music world.
Dead of alive, Tupac lives on.

A Life of Reinvention
By: Manning Marable
Narrated by: G. Valmont Thomas
Of the great figure in 20th-century American history perhaps none is more complex and controversial than Malcolm X. Constantly rewriting his own story, he became a criminal, a minister, a leader, and an icon, all before being felled by assassins' bullets at age 39. Through his tireless work and countless speeches he empowered hundreds of thousands of black Americans to create better lives and stronger communities while establishing the template for the self-actualized, independent African American man.

My Journey into the Wu-Tang
By: Lamont "U-God" Hawkins
Narrated by: Lamont "U-God" Hawkins
The Wu-Tang Clan are considered hip-hop royalty. Remarkably, none of the founding members have told their story - until now. Here, for the first time, the quiet one speaks. Lamont "U-God" Hawkins was born in Brownsville, New York, in 1970. Raised by a single mother and forced to reckon with the hostile conditions of project life, U-God learned from an early age how to survive. And surviving in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s was no easy task - especially as a young black boy living in some of the city's most ignored and destitute districts.

Mike Epps is one of America's favorite and funniest people, but the path to fame was paved with opportunities to mess it up. And mess it up he did. Growing up in "Naptown" - what people who live there really call rough-around-the-edges Indianapolis - Epps was drawn to a life of crime, but as he quickly discovered, stealing and dealing didn't really fit his sweet sensibilities. Not to mention he wasn't very good at it - take, for example, the day he had to call the cops on himself when a dog wouldn't let him leave a house he was burgling.

Includes a suggested playlist of some of Pac's lesser known songs. Discusses both the New York shooting and Las Vegas shooting in detail, explaining who was likely responsible for them. Discusses the beefs during Pac's life and the various conspiracy theories surrounding his death.
At the renowned Coachella music festival in 2012, crowds looked on with awe and stunned silence as the world's most famous rapper took the stage to deliver a fiery performance of two of his well-known hits alongside friend and former collaborator Snoop Dogg. The legendary Tupac Shakur had just overshadowed every other performer at the festival despite the fact he'd been dead for over 15 years.
The "2Pac Hologram" was only the latest buzzworthy headline that Tupac has generated long after he was infamously gunned down just off the strip in Las Vegas back in September 1996. Since his death, Shakur's estate has released far more music posthumously than Pac released in his all-too-brief career, amazing fans and music critics alike. In addition to the music that still keeps finding the light of day, the hologram performance was another fitting example that music fans continue to refuse to let him go, with some even going so far as to speculate that he faked his death.
Why does Pac continue to hold such a high place in pop culture among anyone who grew up in the last 40 years? The answers can be found in his turbulent life, unsolved murder, and the fact that most of the topics of his music continue to be relevant today. Born to a single mother who later developed an addiction to crack, Pac's childhood was marred by constant moving, living in squalor, and eventually being homeless as a teenager in "The Jungle", Marin City. Always a fan of performing, Pac channeled his rage, energy, and charisma into a rap career, fueled by his inability to forget how he grew up and the social ills he witnessed.

MasterChef Junior Renewed for Season 3 by FOX
by Shilo Adams March 5, 2014 7:21 pm 418 views0
FOX has announced that reality-competition series MasterChef Junior has been renewed for a third season before its second season could air this coming fall. In its first season, the Gordon Ramsay-hosted cooking competition, which pits aspiring chefs ages 8-13 against one another, averaged 5.1 million total viewers and ranked No. 1 in its time period among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34, Women 18-49/18-34, Men 18-49/18-34, and Teens.
"MasterChef Junior has proven itself to be the little show with a big bite – so big, we've picked it up for a third season," said Simon Andreae, Executive Vice President, Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. "It's incredible to see how unbelievably creative and skilled kids can be in the kitchen – some before they've even learned how to spellwhat they're cooking! We can't wait to meet the talent that our judges discover in the next two cycles."
It's a surprising vote of confidence for the competition series, which performed better than the network could have expected while not gathering as much buzz as some of its lower-rated fare. Still, it further solidifies the network's relationship with Ramsay, who is currently responsible for five series (MasterChef Junior, MasterChef, Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, Hotel Hell) on FOX, and gives them a strong piece at a time when the rest of their lineup is imploding. With American Idol severely down, New Girl losing 50% of the audience it had in September, Brooklyn Nine-Nine softening following Super Bowl exposure, Rake being DOA, and The Following edging toward the bubble, among many other troubling developments, FOX needs shows like MasterChef Junior to take up scheduling space and allow them to focus their efforts elsewhere. With the positive word of mouth that the first season received, it's possible that season two will prove to be an even sturdier workhorse and breathe some life into Fridays.
Do you think FOX made the right decision in already renewing MasterChef Junior for a third season? Will the show become a Friday night staple for the network as they look to rebuild elsewhere? Exactly how many more Gordon Ramsay shows will air on FOX in our lifetime?

I'm curious about whether using ratio tracking for estimating Monte Carlo constribution (f(x) / p(x), not transmittance) with delta tracking for heterogeneous media is unbiased.
We can get a MC contribution of free path sampling by delta tracking for a wavelength used for the procedure.
but we don't have the transmittance and PDF as separated values.
Therefore it's not possible to apply delta tracking to estimate MC contributions for multiple wavelengths.
On the other hand, estimating transmittance for a given segment in participating media for multiple wavelengths in unbiased fashion is possible by performing ratio tracking for every wavelengths.
perform delta tracking to sample free path for the wavelength wl_i and get the distance d.
sigma_e(s, wl_j) - sigma_e(s, wl_i) can be a negative value, but ratio tracking is able to handle correctly.
Does this become unbiased estimate when I integrate this procedure into a light transport algorithm?
I will read it immediately.
Residual ratio tracking is very promising, but I wonder how it's used for evaluating multiple scattering? Specifically, how to apply it to sample a free length? I only figured out how to apply it to estimate transmittance for direct illumination. As far as I remember, high variance for high albedo dense media mainly came from multiple scattering, which basically requires massive sampling on the "line of sight" of integration. Conversely, direct lighting can be importance sampled in case the environment map has peaks, and the accuracy of transmittance by delta tracking is sufficient.
OK, now I get it what you meant with the code . I write it down in case someone else wonders.
And I took some time to pick up my old volumetric path tracer, improved it with the fancy stuff (hosted here, https://github.com/RNG65536/volpath), and did some comparisons.
It may seem unbiased w.r.t. color, albeit within minor error due to limited samples, etc. The left most one is sampled with delta tracking for separate channels, avoiding the sampling PDF problem. The next ones have different channels sampled all together, and compensated afterwards using ratio tracking. From left to right, red, green, blue and a random channel is used.
Maybe equi-angular sampling is better on this matter, as I learned from a variant of smallpaint. The MIS method of Mitsuba may also work, but I only examined it for homogeneous media.
After more tests I still find some bias in the image. Maybe it's also necessary to also consider the compensation for passtrough rays that leave the volume. Or just use an infinite medium to compare.
ps. I just worked out a compensation for passthrough rays. Seems to match multichannel and blue channel sampling results well.
Maybe it's also necessary to also consider the compensation for passtrough rays that leave the volume.
Right, of course it needs consideration for such rays as you say.
Actually, I'm most concerned with figure 11 in Karl's paper, which is a cumulus cloud with albedo = 1, and forward scattering g = 0.877. For some data, such as my binary checkerboard volume, delta tracking seems to outperform ratio tracking, as it skips most of the sigma_t queries when transmittance is really small. On the other hand, I have no idea what the scale of the scene should be, and it is the only difference between the two distinctly different looking clouds in that figure. Of course the distribution of the data is important, but using a blocky one could still provide some insights.
ps. I just noticed from their video that they might have used Russian Roulette to terminate deep rays. The thinners cloud requires even higher sampling than the thicker one??


London, Dec 4 : Actress Emily Blunt, who has sung several songs in a musical fantasy film "Mary Poppins Returns", says it was her character Mary Poppins which helped to overcome her fear of singing on-screen.
The 35-year-old Blunt was hesitant about sharing her voice with the world but once she got to grips with Mary's English accent, she was far more confident tackling the lyrics of the songs, reported femalefirst.co.uk.
"Mary Poppins Returns" is a sequel to Disney's 1964 film of the same name. It is helmed by Rob Marshall.

"We are very appreciative of the victim's cooperation".
Smollett, 35, told police a rope was placed around his neck and that bleach was poured on him in the lower street levels in Streeterville. Investigators have already conducted several canvasses of the area and Guglielmi on Monday said it was not clear if the bottle was "connected or not connected" to the alleged attack. "Detectives may be following up with him to request additional data to corroborate the investigative timeline".
Police told ABC News Smollett was seen on camera walking into an apartment with a rope around his neck and "wearing it like a necktie" before calling cops from inside the building.
Smollett was heavily criticized following reports that he refused to give up his phone to police when they asked to confirm his claim that he'd been on the phone with his manager when he was attacked.
Last week, The Post traced Smollett's likely route to the underpass from a 24-hour Subway sandwich shop where he bought a tuna sandwich and a salad. "Despite my frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread, I still believe that justice will be served".
Smollett was treated for minor injuries following the alleged attack after transporting himself to a local hospital.
Clearly, that anonymous person is delusional, since incidents like the Laquan McDonald murder to 15 men exonerated for false arrests show Chicago is far from "the most liberal city", which has an epic history of racism.

The Swords of Ditto combines Zelda, roguelikes, and generations of content
by John Vanderhoef on June 15, 2017
The Swords of Ditto is a cartoonish action RPG from indie studio onebitbeyond with an adventure that spans generations.
The Swords of Ditto has a basic premise: save the world as the hero wielding the legendary sword of Ditto. This involves exploring and fighting across a colorful 2D world, seen from the overhead perspective. Players can use sword combat and a slew of alternative weapons, including bombs and the ability to summon giant monster feet from the sky to squash enemies. The game has complex and interactive systems between sub-weapons. For instance, players can combine fire with the razor Frisbee to create a spinning disk of fire. Likewise, they can set a field of bushes on fire using a well-placed bomb.
In addition to sub-weapons, players can also find and equip stickers that add or increase certain abilities. For instance, one sticker might allow players to perform a dash attack. Another might increase their health bar.
The main goal for players is to climb an incredibly high tower in the center of the world and defeat the evil force of Mormo. With visuals that harken back to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, it's a basic game idea that's aesthetically pleasing.
But there's a catch.
Whether players successfully climb the tower and defeat Mormo or perish during their initial adventure, the game picks up again hundreds of years later and players take on the role of a new hero. If players were successful, players will hear people speak about the legendary hero. If players failed in their previous life, the world will have been slightly corrupted by the evil that has reigned unchallenged for decades. In this way, if players die repeatedly, the world will grow increasingly twisted and corrupt.
"We're taking a lot of the things you see in games like Zelda and compressing them down so they don't last 20 hours but instead last about two hours," says the game's designer Jonathan Biddle, former design director of Curve Digital.
Of course, that two hours repeats over and over and over again.
At the beginning of each generation, players acquire the legendary sword of Ditto either from its shrine in the central city or at the gravesite of the previously defeated hero. Once acquired, players can begin their quest. Each iteration of the world is randomly generated and changes based on the actions of past heroes. The game looks a lot like an interactive cartoon.
"We put so much character into the world," says Biddle. "It's just a warm place to be."
The game's overworld is a new experience every generation. This means enemy layout is different, secret locations and dungeons are different, and power-up locations are different.
The game includes several varieties of dungeons. There is the central tower of Mormo, story-centric dungeons, mini-dungeons that offer loot, and challenge dungeons that task players with clearing floors of an ever-descending pit.
"This game is a combination of all the stuff we've done over the years," says Biddle. "It's got the puzzle stuff from our time working with Nintendo and the combat from other games we've done."
Biddle and his former team at Curve Digital used to work closely with Nintendo. It is from Nintendo, he says, where he learned the fundamentals of puzzle design. And it shows. The puzzles in the dungeons are very Zelda-like. One in particular involved using the Frisbee to transfer fire to torches all around a room in order to unlock the door to the next area. Walls separated the torches and we had to throw the Frisbee through holes in the wall and figure out the right sequence of tosses to distribute the fire to every torchlight.
To sweeten the deal, the game offers robust local cooperative play. I played through only a fraction of the game's first generation of hero alongside Biddle as he explained the game's mechanics and core ideas. With potentially dozens and dozens, if not endless, generations, The Swords of Ditto promises players plenty of engaging content.
The Swords of Ditto will come out on the PC and PS4 in early 2018.

Q: Getting a deferred call using $.when in jQuery I am trying to make a jQuery AJAX call inside $.when() so I can perform other operations when I get a callback. But unfortunately I am not getting the callback from the method I am calling which makes a successful AJAX call. Following is the code ...
/****** Code which calls the function ******/

var pathString = "/Cities?state=" + whichState;

$.when(makeAJAXRequest(pathString)).done(function(data)
{
    alert(data);                  //Shows undefined

    //Other operations .....
}

/****** My function which makes the AJAX call ******/

function makeAJAXRequest(pathString)
{

$.ajax({
        type:'GET',
        async:'false',
        cache:false,
        url:'./proxy.php',
        data:{path:pathString},         //Can put the query-string in the path. But if put in data attribute, it will work with both GET and POST
        dataType:'xml',
        success:function(data)
        {
    //alert(data);

    return data;
    },
    error:function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown)
    {
    alert("Error in AJAX request: " + textStatus + errorThrown);

    return ("Error in AJAX request: " + textStatus + errorThrown);
    }
});

}

A: The problem is that you're really not returning a deferred object in your makeAjaxRequest() method.
It should be something like this:
function makeAJAXRequest(pathString) {
    var deferred = new $.Deferred();
    $.ajax({
        type:'GET',
        async:'false',
        cache:false,
        url:'./proxy.php',
        data:{path:pathString}
        dataType:'xml',
        success:function(data) {
            // Deferred object success
            return deferred.resolve(data);
        },
        error:function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            alert("Error in AJAX request: " + textStatus + errorThrown);
            // Deferred object reject
            return deferred.reject("Error in AJAX request: " + textStatus + errorThrown);
        });
    return deferred.promise();
    }

Please take a closer look at the Deferred documentation: http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/

A: In makeAJAXRequest(), you just need to return $.ajax which is a jqXHR object http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jqXHR
function makeAJAXRequest(pathString) {
    return $.ajax({
    // ...
    });
}

There, he helped start the nationalist Dayananda Anglo-Vedic School and became a follower of Dayananda Sarasvati, the founder of the conservative Hindu group Arya Samaj ("Society of Aryans"). Lajpat Rai was sent to Mandalay, Burma (now Myanmar), without a trial in May 1907. He had joined the Congress Party and been involved in political protests in the Punjab. In November, Lord Minto, the viceroy, decided that there wasn't enough evidence to keep him in jail for subversion. So, he let him go. In December 1907, people who supported Lajpat Rai tried to get him elected as president of the party session in Surat. However, people who wanted to work with the British refused to let him be president, and the party split over the issues.

Lala Lajpat Rai was born on January 28, 1865, in the Indian town of Dhudike. He was his parents' oldest son. His father knew two languages well: Urdu and Persian. His mother was a religious woman who taught her children to have strong morals. His first school was the Government Higher Secondary School in Rewari, which is now in Haryana but used to be in Punjab. In 1880, he went to Lahore to study law at the Government College.
In college, Lala Lajpat Rai met people like Lala Hans Raj, Pandit Guru Dutt, etc., who would later fight for freedom. He became a lawyer in Hissar, Haryana, after getting his law degree. He got married to Radha Devi in 1877. As a delegate, he went to the National Congress's meetings every year in 1888 and 1889. In 1892, he worked as a lawyer in Lahore before the High Court.
Let's look at a few more facts about Lala Lajpat Rai biography , like what we know about his family. Lala Lajpat Rai was married to Radha Devi Aggarwal. He had two boys and one girl as children. His sons were Pyarelal Aggrawal and Amrit Rai Aggrawal. Parvati Aggrawal was the name of his daughter.
He quit his job as a lawyer because he wanted the country to be free from British rule. He thought it was important to show the rest of the world how bad the British rule in India was, and he also saw that the state of the Indian Freedom Struggle needed to be shown. He went to England in 1914 and to the United States in 1917.
In 1917, in New York, he started the Indian Home Rule League of America. Between 1917 and 1920, he lived in the United States. When he went back to India in 1920, the Congress asked him to lead a special meeting in Calcutta (now Kolkata). He led a protest against the British at Jallianwala Bagh, where they killed a lot of people.
In 1920, Mahatma Gandhi started the Non-Cooperation Movement, which was led in Punjab by Lala Lajpat Rai. From 1921 to 1923, he was in jail. When he got out of jail, he was elected to the legislature. Because of what happened with Chauri-Chauri, Gandhiji brought back the non-cooperation movement. Lala Lajpat Rai didn't like this decision and wanted to start the Congress Independence Party.
The Simon Commission went to India in 1928. The goal was to talk about changes to the Constitution. In 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai puts forward a bill in the legislative assembly to stop the British Simon Commission from doing business. During a protest in Lahore, he died after being hit by police with lathi charges.

Lala Lajpat Rai led a peaceful march on October 30, 1928, to protest the Simon Commission's visit to Lahore. Superintendent of Police James A. Scott stopped the march and told his police force to "lathi-charge" the protesters. Lajpat Rai was the only person the police went after, and they hit him in the chest. Lala Lajpat Rai was badly hurt by what happened. On November 17, 1928, he had a heart attack and died. His followers blamed the British for his death and vowed to get even with them. Chandrasekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, and others planned to kill Scott, but the revolutionaries shot J.P. Saunders instead of Scott because they thought he was Scott.

Last spring EPTA Greece had once more the pleasure and joy of hosting world famous American virtuoso and pedagogue David Lively, through the efforts of its president Mrs. Natalia Michailidou, a dear friend of Mr. Lively.
From the 20th to 21st of April, 18 students participated in Mr. Lively's superb masterclass - held at Athens Conservatory's "Aris Garoufalis" hall - where he once more demonstrated his capacity for teaching both with intelligence and warm-hearted enthusiasm, a rare combination which greatly inspired all youngsters, as the photo shown here reveals.
Mr. Lively's last recording - "I Got Rhythm" - a collection of piano pieces by American composers such as Gottschalk, Joplin, Gershwin and Copland, has just been released by the french record label Lamusica.


A place like Astoria, OR (and probably other areas at or near the OR/WA coasts) has surprisingly high dew points in the mostly dry summer months, particularly as it rises with the temps in the afternoons. In Astoria's case, DPs don't seem to get much beyond the lower 60's at the Astoria Airport, but tack about 2 miles to the NE to the Astoria peninsula itself (i.e. away from the Pacific), and monitoring stations there consistently find DPs eventually reaching well into the 60's and even lower 70's sometimes, even on days when it's the very same temp at the airport.
I was in Astoria on Friday, and in the sunny afternoon the temp and the DP rose into the lower 70's, the latter of which makes me think Florida or New England. But while I perceived that the air was heavy, I wasn't uncomfortable even though I wore a jacket (I wasn't sure what kind of weather to expect) and walked all over the place, including many hills. If anything, it was the sun that was more bothersome than the air, and I found it to be very nice in the shade.
Anyway, this is puzzling to me, and the only thing that I can figure is that it was because of the sea breeze and the fact that it wasn't a 90 degree day (though that can happen there).
Is the fact that it's almost always cool its saving grace? Because anywhere else I've been, a DP of 70 is very unpleasant.
Only matters if the dew points are accompanied with a temperature above 80F/27C. Then it's possible for a heat index to be produced. Anything temperature below doesn't really have a significant "real feel" on the human body.
True, but I think the more significant impact on the body would be much more pronounced in heat.
I will say that when I went to New Orleans last January, it felt quite chilly. It was unseasonably cold for the location with temps in the 50's, but a strong damp wind made it bite.
I don't think that is correct. Do you have any links supporting that view?
yep here you go.Why Does Humidity Make You Feel Colder In Lower Temperatures?
We had a temp of 24C with a dew of 21C not long ago and it definitely felt a lot more oppresive to me than 24C with dews around 10 - 15C. The air felt thicker to breath, if that makes sense. It's kind of hard to explain - hot isn't the right word, just muggy.
But that article doesn't give a temperature threshold for what is considered a "cool, damp day". How did you come up with 65F?
That doesn't explain anything at all. High humidity is common without rainfall. And as for sweat on a cool day, why are you sweating more in the first place? - because you cool at a slower rate, if it's higher humidity (so more sweat). The wet through sweat theory doesn't really hold up either. It's about 15C/59F and 87% RH, with steady moderate rain at present and I don't feel like I've got wet/damp clothes.


Maynard Art Show: First look at the colors. What an incredible blend of swirling greens, blues and browns, overlaid by curving rows of speckled white. Only Earth's paint brush could have made such a masterpiece. This is the coast of Brazil, where the vast Amazon reaches the Atlantic ocean. Tons of brown silt, carried from the rain forest jungles, flow, swirl and blend with the multi-hued blues of the ocean. Under the clouds on the left, mangroves and fertile swamps are almost untouched by humanity – one of the most pristine areas on Earth.

An Algorithm for General Set Unification and Its Complexity
Frieder Stolzenburg
In this paper, an algorithm for set unification – which is a restricted case of the associative-commutative-idempotent (ACI) unification – is presented. The algorithm is able to unify finite sets containing arbitrary terms. It is nondeterministic and can easily be implemented in Prolog. Because of the simplicity of the algorithm, the computation of a single solution is quite fast, and the exact complexity of the algorithm and of the set unification problem itself can be analyzed easily. The algorithm is compared with some other set unification algorithms. All algorithms have single exponential complexity, because the set unification problem is NP-complete, but our exact complexity analysis provides more details. It is shown how the algorithm presented here can be used to solve a generalized set unification problem where sets with tails are admissible. The algorithm can be used in any logic programming language embedding (finite) sets, or in other contexts where set unification is needed, for example, in some unification-based grammar formalisms.

I Want To Feel Like I'm in Paris Those were the marching orders from our client Sue. Not a request received every day. But being true to one of our core philosophies, our style is whatever the client wants. We have no preconceived notions of what is right or wrong for a client's de cor.
Rose V. moved to Tucson from Hawaii in late 2014, to be closer to her son. Making this artwork work in a Tucson style home was a new and exiting challenge.
Anyone with interior designer blood coursing through their veins, like our entire design team, has real pleasure in helping homeowners create a look which fits their own personal style and reflects who they are.
Achieving your look, for your tastes and lifestyle is really what our business is all about. If everyone wanted the same exact look, there would be no need for interior designers. And, the world would be a pretty boring place.
Past client Katy called us to help update her home. The areas of focus were the family room, kitchen and re-tiling the entire home. Katy has tons of beautiful Southwest art and artifacts displayed throughout her home. So we opted for more neutral colors to showcase her collections.
A year ago, Laura and Mel had another remodeler help them with some minor changes to their master bath. We refaced the cabinets, installed new Quartz counter tops and created an enlarged and gorgeous shower area by eliminating the tub and relocating the shower.
When Lorraine & Kevin Walker bought their eventual retirement home in the new Del Webb community in Dove Mountain, they didn't want to spend their valuable get-away time shopping for furnishings or finding contractors to help them personalize the home, So they hired us to help them with the Foyer, Great Room, Kitchen, Den, Master Bedroom and Guest Bedroom.
Years ago, we helped Cheri and Mike Peck transform their Oro Valley retirement house into the home they envisioned. When Cheri & Mike decided to build their 6th and final custom home near family, in Sullivan, Missouri (75 miles West of St. Louis), they asked Betty to help them.
When Debbie & Nelson bought their Sun City home, they knew right away they would remodel it. Which our designers Janice Williams and Bryana Layman gladly helped them with. Their new home needed major updating. The kitchen, the master and guest baths and living room areas were the major focus. As you can see for yourself here, the transformation was spectacular.
Bathroom transformations are our specialty. In this example, our client purchased his own mirror and copper sink, which we used as the main inspiration for the design. We did a custom vanity cabinet with alder wood and centered the plumbing on the new vanity cabinet to make it more functional.
Reupholstering seats and backs is a great way to freshen up a worn or dated dining room set. This was a set with cane backs, redone with a petroglyphs print. Seats are in faux leather.
Many homes in our area that are even just 10-15 years old often have built-in entertainment walls. These "old-style" entertainment walls were designed for the old deep depth TV's. Also, the wall often integrated a fireplace in the same space. We Make Entertainment Walls Fit Today's Lifestyles and Electronics. Quite often, we are called upon to change a "dated" entertainment wall, so it fits our clients look & feel, as well as accommodate today's thin and larger TV's.
Kate and David Whitaker of Tuscon, came to us wanting to "gut" their mid-1970's Territorial-style home and update it with a more modern transitional look and feel. Their "wish list" was extensive. Janice Williams, Senior Interior Designer, our recommended contractor, and the Whitakers decided on a number of changes.
This client wanted to give their master bathroom an updated look while keeping the existing cabinets and countertops. They also wanted it to look and feel like it was all designed all at one time.
Lezley Barth wanted to update the tired look of their master bedroom bedding, while maintaining the formal/traditional style of the room. She had a few specific requests for our Sr. Interior Designer, Janice Williams: Bring black into the color palette while; Keeping the gold tones; Repurpose drapes & fabrics from her previous house; Keep the canopy bed.
Kathy contacted us about replacing the kitchen in her Tucson retreat from the brutal northern Minnesota winters…the original kitchen from 1985. Since Kathy didn't know any contractors/suppliers in Tucson, she wanted to connect with someone reliable that could help her through the entire kitchen remodel process. She came to the right place and our designer Bryana did a wonderful job with helping Kathy.
Interior Expressions was please to be part of the last Street of Dreams exhibit, which showcased our Interior Design, Project Management and Detailed Decorating capabilities to a vast local audience in Oro Valley, Tucson. We were the only Interior Design firm to design, build, decorate and furnish the entire home – inside and out.
Shirley and Chuck Kaltenbach's modified Lariat model in SaddleBrooke was originally built for a mother and her two daughters. So, it had three master suites. This didn't work too well for Shirley and Chuck, so they hired us to help them remodel their home to a two-bedroom configuration that better suited their lifestyle.
Desert Zen is what we call the style we created to meet the desires of several clients. We describe Desert Zen as warm earth tone colors and clean lines. It has become quite popular with our clients that prefer a somewhat contemporary look, but not the stark and cold colors often seen in contemporary interior design.
Ever lived in a home that you didn't like how it looked or felt? Many can relate to that, right. That is where Mark Porter was with his home. Mark liked the overall layout, but he wanted something with cleaner, more sophisticated lines – not too contemporary, but not traditional either. Mark had been driving by our showroom for many months – twice a day, to and from his job at Ventana Medical. He finally took action.
Workmen who had good ideas to contribute, and IE provided that. They were timely and cleaned the area without leaving a mess. I highly recommend them. It's been a great experience.
