It quickly became apparent during my stay that medication was not able to reduce my heart rate to keep in a safe and normal range. Therefore, after consulting with numerous specialists I was told by my cardiologist that heart surgery was necessary. An appointment for the surgery was scheduled at the hospital and I was released. The cardiologist office calls me soon after to get my insurance information and once they find out I have none they cancel my surgery. I was then told that if I did not obtain insurance, my only option would be to pay $60,000 up front or the surgery wouldn't be done. I pleaded with their office and told them and explained that I couldn't afford insurance and, now that I was diagnosed with a pre-existing condition, obtaining insurance would be difficult. I proceeded to explain that my mom would be willing to pull out a loan and then make payments for the left over amount; they refused.
I tried applying for Medicaid and MAP but even though I barely get by with my current salary I still made too much money to qualify for either. The pain in my heart and the stress it caused on my body forced me to miss numerous days of work which led to me being able to reapply for MAP (Medical Assistance Program offered by Travis county) and get my surgery.
The experience taught me that the type of insurance you have dictates the type of care you receive.
The law ensures women can access no- and low-cost preventive services, including mammograms and cancer screenings. In 2011, 20.4 million women between 18 and 64 benefitted from this provision of the ACA.
The law prevents insurance companies from charging women higher premiums and dropping a women's coverage if she gets sick.
The law requires new health plans to offer essential benefits for women such as maternity care, newborn care and prescription drug benefits.
Being a mom is a tough job and one that shouldn't be made harder by a lack of choice and control in health care. Together, we can help mothers have longer, healthier and happier lives.

JV Pays $70M for Historic South Cathedral Mansions Apartments, with Plans to Start Renovation This Fall
South Cathedral Mansions is a landmark apartment building located 2900 Connecticut Avenue, NW, in D.C.'s Woodley Park neighborhood. It was constructed in 1922 by the iconic team of Harry Wardman and Mihran Mesrobian and is currently included in both the National Register of Historic Places and the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites. During its almost one hundred years of existence, South Cathedral Mansions only changed hands four times, the last sale taking place recently.

A new joint venture of Commonwealth Residential and CAS Riegler called Commonwealth Cooperative has purchased South Cathedral Mansions. The joint venture's first acquisition, it paid $70 million for the 131-unit historic property at 2900 Connecticut Ave., N.W., in D.C.'s Woodley Park neighborhood. HFF represented the seller, the Calomiris family, which acquired the property in 1961.
Commonwealth Cooperative, whose members have extensive experience in the city's multifamily market, has plans to renovate the landmark apartment building, which was constructed in 1922 by the iconic team of Harry Wardman and Mihran Mesrobian and is currently included on both the National Register of Historic Places and the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites. During its almost 100 years in existence, South Cathedral Mansions has only changed hands four times.
Commonwealth Cooperative will start work on the two-year project this November. It is working on the renovation together with the South Cathedral Mansions Tenant Association, with property management provided by Oculus Realty and construction services by Snead Construction.
"We are bringing a new approach to working with tenants' associations, based on honesty, transparency and flexibility," said Brad Gilchrist, managing principal of Commonwealth Residential, in a statement. "The tenants who have chosen to continue renting here will benefit from a highly innovative profit-participation plan."
The renovation project will add all-new unit interiors, central HVAC, upgraded common areas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, unique community space within the original carriage house and other improvements. It also calls for the creation of 29 new units by reconfiguring the apartment layouts and incorporating previously unused attic space. Seventeen of the new units will feature 20- to 30-foot ceiling heights.
"Upon completion of these extensive renovations, South Cathedral Mansions will compete with Class A properties along Connecticut Avenue and in other sought-after neighborhoods of Washington," said Kevin Riegler, principal of CAS Riegler. "We have an in-depth understanding of the way these buildings were built, how to preserve them and how to ensure that they last into future generations."

Hans Wertheimer was a German-Jewish businessman, who was a survivor of the Dachau concentration camp. He and his wife, Margot Malachowski Wertheimer, immgrated to the U.S. where he worked as an insurance broker.
Richard Ingel was a German portrait painter, whose speciality was his ability to complete drawings in one sitting. He primarily painted celebrities, politicians, and royalty in Berlin. In 1935, he and his family moved to Baden-Baden and then immigrated to the Netherlands in 1937 to escape Nazi rule. However, he was forced by the Gestapo to divorce his wife and was arrested along with his son, Ralph, and forced to work in Germany. After the war, he went back to painting and attempted to immigrate back to the Netherlands with his son, but the plan was halted when Ingel died in 1947.

The annual report shows that the publication date for the interim report quarter three 2019 has been changed to November 8, 2019 from the previously announced date, October 18, 2019.
This information is information that Vicore Pharma Holding AB (publ) is obliged to make public pursuant to the Securities Markets Act. The information was submitted for publication at 08:00 CET on 12 April 2019.
Vicore Pharma is a Swedish rare disease company focused on interstitial lung diseases and related indications. The Company currently has two drug development programs, VP01 and VP02.
VP01 aims to develop the substance C21 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ("IPF"). As a result of the acquisition of INIM Pharma AB in August 2018, the Company's pipeline was expanded with a second drug development program, VP02. VP02 is based on a new formulation and delivery route of an existing immunomodulatory compound (an "IMiD"). VP02 focuses on IPF with regards to both the underlying disease and the severe cough associated to IPF. C21 and IMiD are also evaluated for other indications within interstitial lung diseases. The acquisition of INIM Pharma meant an expansion of Vicore Pharma's operation and that the Company's strategy focused on developing drugs for the treatment of rare and severe lung diseases. VP01 will perform the expanded dose escalating Phase I study and then start the Phase IIa study in IPF patients during the second half of 2019. VP02 is entering a phase of optimization of formulation before local tolerability studies will commence. The first clinical studies with VP02 are expected to start in 2020.

Minority Representative to be Armenian
11.21.2014 SOCIETY
The agenda of the meeting of the Interfoundational Solidarity Platform (VADİP) held on 17 November 2014 was the Minority Foundations Representative elections. The elections will be held on 28 December, and a total of 125 Greek, Armenian, Jewish and Syriac foundations will vote, the minority representative to replace Laki Vingas is expected to be Armenian.
BARUYR KUYUMCİYAN
baruyr@agos.com
The Interfoundational Solidarity Platform (VADİP) met on 17 November 2014, Monday. The agenda of the meeting, also attended by Assembly of Foundations Minority Representative Laki Vingas, whose second term in duty ends at the end of December, was the Minority Foundations Representative elections to be held in January in Ankara. Representatives of over thirty foundations and the press attended the meeting held at the Bilek Nursing Home Hall of the Surp Pırgiç Hospital. The session chaired by Surp Pırgiç Hospital Board chairman Bedros Şirinoğlu began at 17.30 because of the Tata Simonyan concert on the same day organized within the scope of the events held for the '100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Karagözyan Orphanage'.
At the meeting, foundation representatives aired their views about the duty of the Minority Representative at the Assembly of Foundations. Following this brief session, Laki Vingas presented a speech.
Vingas expressed his delight in addressing VADİP, the highest committee formed by Armenian foundations, and spoke about his six-year term and the current meaning of the position of Minority Representative. He added that his idea, previously expressed in his statement to Agos, about Greek foundations supporting an Armenian candidate for this position, had received clear support in the most recent meeting of the Greek Community Foundations Support Association (RUMVADER). Reminding his audience that he was the joint candidate within the scope of the gentleman's agreement made by Armenian foundations, Vingas stated that it was of great importance both ethically, and in terms of working practice, that the consensus be retained and an Armenian candidate is supported in the future as well. Vingas explained that his view received widespread support from Greek foundations in the most recent meeting of RUMVADER and was finalized as a decree. Vingas added that Greek foundations were looking forward to meet the candidate of the Armenian community, and answered the questions of foundation representatives after his speech.
Şahingöz is candidate for nomination
In his speech at the meeting, Bedros Şirinoğlu stated that they had to nominate a young candidate who had his own vision, and spoke at least two languages. Şirinoğlu made a call for candidates who fit these criteria to submit their candidacy to VADİP at the meeting to be held on 24 November, Monday; and advised towards a consensus on a single candidate. VADİP General Secretary Harutyun Şanlı explained that he had contacted the Representative of the Jewish Community as the meeting continued, and had learned that Jewish foundations also desired to support the Armenian candidate.
Meanwhile, taking the floor at the meeting, Ortaköy Surp Asdvadzadzin Foundation President İskender Şahingöz declared his desire to apply for the position of Minority Representative. The experienced administrator stated that in addition to speaking foreign languages, the candidate had to meet the criteria of a familiarity with the modus operandi of the country, and expressing the problems of minorities in the most effective manner in Ankara, and called for support from minority representatives.
A total of 125 Greek, Armenian, Jewish and Syriac foundations will vote at the elections to be held on 28 December.

Korkmaz's lawyer: "Those who kicked Ali İsmail to death were awarded here today"
Agos was founded in 1996 by Hrant Dink and a group of his friends, in order to report the problems of the Armenians of Turkey to the public. It is the first newspaper in the Republican period to be published in Turkish and Armenian. Agos's editorial policy focuses on issues such as democratization, minority rights, coming to terms with the past, the protection and development of pluralism in Turkey. As a newspaper that has emerged from within the Armenian community of Turkey, Agos aims to further open its pages to the issues of Turkey and the world. As independent journalism and freedom of expression face increasing restriction in Turkey, Agos also acts as an independent platform for debate.

The process of casting glass in moulds was invented in the mid-2nd millennium BC. Although the core-formed method predominated in glass manufacture in the Greek world, casting techniques also played an important role in the development of glass in the ninth to fourth centuries B.C. Cast glass was produced in two basic ways, through the lost-wax method and with various open moulds. The most common method used by Roman glassmakers for most of the open-form cups and bowls in the first century B.C. was the Hellenistic technique of sagging glass over a convex "former" mould. The Romans also adapted various colour and design schemes from the Hellenistic glass traditions, applying such designs as network glass and gold-band glass to new shapes and forms.
Cut cast glass from the turn of the millennium
With the discovery of glass blowing in the 2nd half of the 1st century BC a quick and inexpensive method of glass-making was invented in Syria, probably in Phoenicia. Remains from a mid-1st century BC glassmaking refuse dump of a workshop were found in the excavations of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem. Among the finds were fragments of the earliest blown glass vessels yet discovered. In the course of the 1st century AD, glass blowing was introduced into many parts of the Roman Empire, although, oddly, rather late, in Britain, where first century glass which has been found would have been imported.
Alexandria continued to lead in the production of luxury moulded and cut glass until the early 3rd century AD. Syro-Palestinian glass- blowers maintained a high standard in blowing techniques all through the Roman period. Their mould- blown vessels of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD have remarkable decorations in relief often withGreek inscriptions and in beautiful colors. Ancient cast glass is rather prized by collectors and commands high prices.

Neighborhood – Sviridoff et al. (1992)
Sviridoff, M., Sadd, S., Curtis, R., & Grinc, R. (1992). The neighborhood effects of street-level drug enforcement: Tactical narcotics teams in New York. New York: Vera Institute of Justice.
Neighborhoods, Focused, Proactive, Moderately Rigorous; No evidence of an effect
This evaluation assesses the impact of Tactical Narcotics Teams (TNT) used by the New York City Police Department. This two-year study was launched in the summer of 1989.TNTs were generally composed of 110 officers, all operating in plain-clothes. Once in the field, TNT units relied heavily on "buy and bust" tactics, which were targeted primarily at outdoor street markets. TNTs generally spent 90 days in each target area, though for some areas the Department deemed a 60-day period sufficient, and in others the period was extended. No matter how long the enforcement period, TNTs were expected to return to previous target areas on scheduled "maintenance days."
The research examined two Brooklyn South neighborhoods which were targets for TNT and, for comparison, a third non-TNT neighborhood with a comparable drug problem. Conditions and drug markets in these communities were documented during the 90 days before TNT operations, allowing information to be developed on the patterns of sale and use in the local drug markets, and on associated community attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions. Specifically, data collection techniques included a multi-wave household survey of community residents; an analysis of statistical records; and a variety of qualitative research techniques including street ethnography, in-depth panel interviews, and interviews with and observations of the police themselves.
TNT operations led to a large number of arrests for drug sales and possession, a substantial number of car seizures, and the confiscation of a considerable amount of drugs and money. In both study precincts, there appeared to be a general tightening of drug markets. Over a three-month period, search time (the time it took for undercover officers to make drug purchases) increased, and there was a drop in the proportion of successful drug purchase attempts. Department personnel reported that a substantial portion of drug trafficking had either ceased or had moved indoors during the enforcement period. In interviews with researchers, however, officers generally conceded that the effects of TNT on street-level drug markets were temporary. The TNT initiative did not appear to have a substantial effect on other types of crime in the target areas. Ethnographic data indicate that many arrested dealers were quickly replaced by other user-dealers. No clear conclusion could be drawn on displacement effects. Additionally, although street drug sellers and users quickly learned about the presence of TNT in their neighborhoods, community residents and leaders were far less knowledgeable. Most surveyed residents were aware that TNT had been assigned to their areas, but many of them knew little about the nature of the initiative. Community residents did not report seeing an impact of TNT on the quality of life in the target areas, and the initiative had little impact of public fear of crime.
Despite having some effects on drug markets, the TNT program did not appear to reduce violent crime or improve citizen perceptions. The authors suggest that drug market crackdowns like TNT might be made more effective with increased community involvement and better integration of enforcement tactics into problem-solving at the precinct level.

The market is trying to start a new ascending movement inside the fifth wave. We may assume that the Index completed the fourth wave and right now the bulls are getting ready to break the maximum. During a local correction, I opened one more buy order. The target is the level of 14950.
As we can see at the H1 chart, wave  was completed in the form of double zigzag pattern. On the minor wave level, the market formed an initial wedge pattern inside wave (1). In the near term, the instrument is expected to complete the second wave and then start growing up while forming the third one.
Oil continues moving upwards inside wave [B]; the current chart structure implies that the price may continue growing up, that's why I opened a short-term order during a local correction. However, the main scenario remains - the instrument is expected to start falling down inside wave [C] of E.
More detailed wave structure is shown on the H1 chart. We may assume that the price is forming a bullish impulse wave (C). Most likely, Oil will continue growing up while forming the fifth wave.

Hold on, wait a second. The MLS MVP award is called the Landon Donovan Award? That's the absolute lamest thing I've ever seen.
On 11/5/2019 at 2:18 PM, Bucfan56 said:
Like, I get that Donovan was at one very short time and may still be the biggest name in US soccer (I think he's already been surpassed in that category, though), but that's a decision people are going to look back on and wonder just why in the hell the MVP trophy was ever named after someone as thoroughly medicore as Landon Donovan. If that's how high you've set the bar, you might as well crawl underneath it. Landon Donovan being the "face" of US soccer is the prime example of US soccer still being in it's absolute infancy. You don't name the league MVP trophy after a dude like that and expect to be taken seriously by anyone in the greater soccer universe.
This is a terrible take.
Landon Donovan has been the leading figure in U.S. soccer for a very long time. He bridges the period when MLS was cheesy and worthy of dismissal, to the current period when MLS is legit and is comparable to any European league outside the Big 4.
Donovan had multiple successful stints in Europe (along with one difficult one). He played very well at Everton, and is looked at with respect by English fans. He also played in Mexico, which is something that very few Americans have done.
He gave up his captaincy with the Galaxy in favour of David Beckham. Though Donovan later criticised Beckham and the circus that his presence caused, he was a pure team player while they were teammates. And he was a team player not only with respect to his team, but with respect to the league, as if he could sense that the arrival of Beckham marked the turning point for MLS, when the quality of play began surging and the image of the league drastically improved.
And the m-f-er is still playing! He just completed a season with the MASL's San Diego Sockers.
Donovan also has set several good examples throughout his career, first by establishing that a top American player need not leave his home country in order to be considered world class, and later by retiring and coming back on his own terms, making the point that being a contented person is more important than everything else. Finally, he has contributed to goodwill, by virtue of his expression of support for the Mexican national team in the last World Cup.
You absolutely do indeed name the league's MVP trophy after "a dude like that", because a dude like that is someone whom every fan should know about for as long as the sport of association football is played on this continent. Landon Donovan deserves enormous respect. He is a giant, and will always be a giant.

City Hall's homeless forum Thursday to provide education, comment opportunities
By Donna Beth WeilenmanPosted on May 12, 2019 May 19, 2019
MARTINEZ, Calif. – Homelessness and its impacts have become more visible in Martinez. Those worried about the impacts and those with ideas for solutions are welcome to participate Thursday in a community forum moderated by Vice Mayor Noralea Gipner.
Gipner has spearheaded the forum, which she hopes will lead to conversations about homelessness and creative approaches to resolve related situations.
Her idea for the forum began after Martinez Police Chief Manjit Sappal invited Gipner to attend a bimonthly meetings of the Coordinated Outreach Referral Engagement (C.O.R.E.) team this city shares with Pleasant Hill.
Its leader, Michael Fischer, urged her to keep attending. At one meeting, she received support for her suggestion of a forum.
"Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill had done one, so I knew it could be done," Gipner said.
"My motivation for having this forum is to educate the citizens of Martinez about what is being done to help the homeless," she said.
Participants are the Martinez Community and Economic Development and Martinez Police departments; the Contra Costa Health, Housing and Homeless Service, through which the C.O.R.E. teams operate; the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office; Martinez Unified School District; and local organizations Loaves and Fishes and Bay Church, who will have speakers at the forum who also will answer questions.
"I chose organizations who are doing what I call 'good deeds' in Martinez," she said. But part of the city's growing homeless problem are a county problem, too.
"Cities are not set up to provide services, but are now required to do so, because nobody else really is. This is why we have a C.O.R.E. program. Martinez was the first city to start such a thing," Gipner said.
The city has put needle containers in bathrooms, in hopes that addicts will place their used syringes there. Gipner said she hopes to see more portable toilets in areas where homeless people congregate to reduce body waste on the streets.
She's heard public complaints about closed public restrooms, especially in Waterfront Park. She said the harbormaster's restroom is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the new playground restroom is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and those near the bocce ball courts are open 24 hours during bocce season, but are closed in the off season because of past vandalism, she said.
Sappal said additional portable toilets in the Martinez Marina are available for the homeless to use, and that strategy hs reduced damage and vandalism to other restrooms.
Neither the C.O.R.E. Team nor police officers can be everywhere, Gipner said. But other organizations are considering offering assistance, such as downtown ambassadors from the Martinez Chamber of Commerce.
"It is going to take the entire community working together to be able to get this problem addressed," she said, adding that Martinez can't undertake the task alone.
Gipner said she has considered other ways to help, such as safe parking areas for those who live in their vehicles; and to form a team to come up with even more approaches.
She said she wants to work with Martinez Police Officer Rodney Brinser to develop a program that provides shelter and training so more homeless can become independent.
The nature of the situation is complex, Gipner said. "We have a group of homeless who are addicts. They are the ones doing terrible things, but this puts all homeless in the same category, which is unfair."
Gipner said homelessness is not against the law. "Put yourself in their shoes. Working together and cooperating, we can get much done."
She listed multiple reasons that people find themselves unhoused. "Greedy landlords, drugs, alcohol, mental health issues, abusive relationships, loss of job, and I am sure there are million more reasons," she said.
"I am told that millions of Americans are just a paycheck away from being homeless. At our forum, these issues will be addressed," she said.
Sappal agreed, saying the cause of homelessness "is a complicated question."
Some can't afford rent, others have life challenges that have led to addiction to drugs and alcohol, which in turn cause a downward spiral that leads to homelessness, he said. "We have some homeless that are veterans and ended up homeless for a variety of reasons," he said.
"How do we help them become productive citizens? That is also a complicated question," Sappal said.
A small percentage refuse to become productive and others are so accustomed to living on the streets they don't want to live differently.
The longer they're homeless, the harder it is for them to recognize other options, he said. "Many of them grew up in Martinez and do not wish to leave."
Part of Thursday's program will be a video about Martinez's homeless people. It includes interviews with some of them.
"The people feel very unwanted," Gipner said. So she expects few will attend the forum to share their stories. That disappoints her. "I feel they need to be there."
Like Gipner, Sappal said addressing homelessness requires collaboration between Martinez, Contra Costa County and various service providers.
"A large part of this process is building relationships with people and getting better understanding of their specific issues to include why and how they became homeless as well as what obstacles they face in getting housing," he said.
The situations often are made more complicated by addiction, alcoholism and mental illness, he said.
Sappal introduced members of the Martinez-Pleasant Hill C.O.R.E. Team a few years ago, during a meeting organized by the Martinez Chamber of Commerce. He also introduced Brinser as his department's representative in the homeless community.
At that meeting, he explained that homelessness isn't a crime, but that some homeless people commit lower level crimes and impact "quality of life issues." Few of those crimes ca;; for jail time – most result in citations, he said.
"We will not arrest our way out of the problem," he said.
"While we do understand there is frustration, and the response by some is that we need to follow up with criminal enforcement on homelessness, the fact remains that the current legal system is not set up to deal with homelessness, and we need to find alternative mechanisms of managing the problem."
He said he shares residents' frustrations when parks and public areas are damaged, and said his officers take action in those cases.
His department also works with the District Attorney's Office and the C.O.R.E. team to follow up on those cases and make sure violators are held accountable.
"The public can assist us in reporting behavior to the Police Department, so we can respond to assess and take action," he said. The number is 925-372-3440.
"We do have homeless that commit crimes, have substance abuse issues and mental illness – we take action that we can within the law to address these problems," he said.
He said officers patrol the downtown area regularly.
Businesses can sign a form concerning those who trespass on their property, so they can be arrested. "We will also arrest for violations that involve defecating and urinating in public," he said.
He said the shopping district storefronts have many entryways that provide shelter from the elements. Recent court rulings have said laws against overnight camping on city streets can't be enforced except under specific circumstances, he said.
Sappal said his department and outreach workers "spend a considerable amount of time trying to build trust and credibility with homeless people in an effort to convince them to get help and take resources."
But the homeless can't be forced into shelters or programs, he explained. "People have to make those choices themselves." At times, the efforts have succeeded, but it takes "an immense amount of time getting people to the point where they decide to get help."
Those who commit crimes or have certain behavior problems aren't suitable for shelters. "We arrest those that violate the law," Sappal said. He works with District Attorney Diana Becton in dealing with repeat offenders.
Martinez can't solve the issue alone, and needs partnerships with other organizations and agencies, Sappal said. "But we can work together to manage the problem."
That's one of the reasons for the forum – to encourage those partnerships, provide education and explore answers, he said.
Sappal said he, Gipner and other participants are hoping "to engage in a positive dialogue with the community on what we are doing, as well as listen to concerns."
He acknowledged that some residents want the city and his officers to take immediate action, but explained there's no easy solution. He said it will take multiple levels of government to address limited affordable housing, the inability to afford other homes and the many other reasons people are living on the street.
"Since the forum is open to everyone, we may also have other service providers attend to share how they may be able to collaborate with us to expand our reach with the homeless," he said. "We should be holding forums such as these with more frequency in order to keep the community informed."
The Martinez Community Forum on Homelessness will take place from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, May 16, at Martinez City Hall, 525 Henrietta St.

    vector <vector <LinkedList>::iterator > pl; // it store the iteration values of parent of node
    vector <vector <LinkedList>::iterator > cl; // it store the iteration values of childof node
};
class children
{
    public:
    int dest;
    string label;
};

How much it is safe to store and reuse the iterator values?
Below function works as follows:
First it will find the parent and child of every node and store the iteration result respectively.
Secondly it will children of a graph (nodes with no furthur child nodes).
When it tries to insert child nodes into the graph, the iteration of other nodes become garbage.
void parentchildList(vector <LinkedList> &graph)//, vector <transclosure> &tc)
{
vector <int> childNode;

for(vector<LinkedList>::iterator ii = graph.begin(); ii != graph.end(); ii++)
{

    for(vector<LinkedList>::iterator it = graph.begin(); it != graph.end(); it++)
    {
        for(list<children>::iterator li = it -> child.begin(); li != it -> child.end(); li++)
        {
            if(ii -> parent == li -> dest)
            {
                ii -> pl.push_back(it);
                it -> cl.push_back(ii);
            }
        }

    }
}

//Finding child nodes in a graph.
for(vector<LinkedList>::iterator ii = graph.begin(); ii != graph.end(); ii++)
{
    if(ii ->cl.size() != ii->child.size())          // finding child nodes and adding them to graph //linking child nodes
    {
        bool flag = false;
        for(list<children>::iterator li = ii -> child.begin(); li != ii -> child.end(); li++)
        {
            flag = false;
            for(vector <vector <LinkedList>::iterator >::iterator itt = ii->cl.begin(); itt != ii->cl.end(); itt++)
            {
                if((*itt)->parent == li->dest)
                    flag = true;
            }
            if(!flag)
                childNode.push_back(li->dest);
        }
    }
}

sort(childNode.begin(), childNode.end());
childNode.erase(unique(childNode.begin(), childNode.end()),childNode.end());

cout<<"Child Nodes are ";
for(vector<int>::iterator it=childNode.begin(); it!= childNode.end(); it++)
    cout<<*it<<" ";
cout<<endl;

for(vector<int>::iterator it=childNode.begin(); it!= childNode.end(); it++)
{
    LinkedList obj;
    obj.parent = *it;
    graph.push_back(obj);

    // Error happens here when I tried to insert a new obj into graph, all vaues of pl and cl becomes garbage.
}
}

A: How much it is safe to store and reuse the iterator values?

std::vector::insert Causes reallocation if the new size() is greater
  than the old capacity(). If the new size() is greater than capacity(),
  all iterators and references are invalidated. Otherwise, only the
  iterators and references before the insertion point remain valid. The
  past-the-end iterator is also invalidated.

vector reference
You can safely assume that eventually the new size is going to be greater than the initial capacity. Thus you are not using the right data structure.
Your design is close to adjacent lists. So use std::list, which doesn't invalidate iterators or references upon insertion.
Btw boost has an implementation for adjacent lists..

The Incredible Invisible Women's Rugby Team
March 7, 2013 Aoife O'Riordanalison miller, Ashbourne RFC, Guest Post, irish rugby, Katie Taylor, lynne cantwell, rugby, rugby championship, sports, women's rugby2 Comments
Today's post comes from Anne-Marie, with something to say about women's rugby.
Women have a place in sport… we're just not quite sure where that is.
It's International Women's Day on Friday and it always serves as a reminder to me to assess where we are. How far have women really come in the search for true equality? How much are women recognised for the achievements they/we make? How much autonomy do we really have over our bodies? You may be wondering what relevance if any this has to sport? Well, sport forms part of all our lives whether we participate in it, watch it or support teams or family/friends in it. It also happens to be one area where women's achievements appear to me to be emasculated by men. An area where it took Katie Taylor's almost single-handed persistent effort and campaigning just to get Women's boxing to FEATURE in the Olympic arena. How appropriate is it then that there happens to be an International Women's Rugby match being played on Friday evening?
leinsterrugby.ie
There's a women's rugby team?
Ireland's women take on France at Ashbourne RFC in what has been a fantastic Women's Rugby championship so far. If they can beat France, the Women in green have the opportunity of securing the championship. They have already won the Triple Crown, HAMMERING England in the process. If they can beat France, all that will stand in their way for the Grand Slam is a final tie with Italy. So, with such momentum, potential and relative success so far why doesn't EVERYBODY know about this?! Why aren't they being hailed as sporting heroes across the land? Who's ordering the open top bus so they can parade their silverware?
In contrast the Men's team are having a dire campaign but they seem to have this air of being "the national team" and rugby fans seem compelled to support them regardless of their makeup. Our national broadcaster covers all their matches so you can't miss them. The Brian O'Driscoll's and Johnny Sexton's of this world are plastered across advertising. But what about the Alison Miller's or Lynne Cantwell's? Why aren't they household names? Why aren't our daughters exposed to them as rolemodels of dedication, talent and hard work? On the other hand, the Irish Women's Rugby team are like the Ed Sheeran's of this world – unreliant on 'marketing' or hype, instead building a fanbase gig by gig. Match by match this team have gained support. They have genuine fans. They have dedicated family and friends who go to every match. But try to find any of their matches on telly and you will be sorely disappointed. Try to find interviews or news reports in mainstream media and they will take up a tiny proportion of sports coverage compared to the men. Even the dedicated rugby programme Against the Head, despite the contrasting fortunes of both International teams, will confine the Women's coverage to less than ten minutes.
rte.ie
Can't we find them.. anywhere?
Irish rugby TV are the only body who appear to be trying. They live stream the home matches and provide highlights of all of the Women's championship matches. But who really wants to be glued to a laptop reliant on wifi/broadband connection speeds to see the fantastic rugby these women are capable of and have certainly shown in this championship. Where are RTE? Or TV3?
TG4 God bless 'em are THE pioneers for women's sport on telly – they have great coverage of women's GAA. But nobody has picked up on our National Women's Rugby team matches. Something has to happen to reward these women for their hard work and determination over the past decade (not just the past few months) and if winning a Triple Crown isn't enough to get someone to pay attention then I wonder if winning a Grand Slam will. We can only wait and see.
In the meantime, proper rugby fans can take advantage of truly accessible, affordable and entertaining matches on our doorstep because you can attend the Women's home matches for less than the price of a pint. Ashbourne RFC have created a great deal by allowing car entry for €20, regardless of the number of occupants and that includes your parking.
So, come Friday evening, I know RTE won't have miraculously decided to change their programming and I won't be relying on a dodgy internet connection, I intend being at Ashbourne RFC to cheer on the Women in Green. It promises to be entertaining and I know it's better than watching the Men…

Coastal Solutions Fellows Program
Each year, millions of shorebirds migrate thousands of miles along the Pacific coast of the Americas, from their breeding grounds in the Arctic tundra of North America to their wintering grounds at the southernmost tip of Chile. These long-distance migrations evolved to depend on stopover and wintering sites - a network of coastal wetlands, estuaries, and beaches - known as the Pacific Americas Flyway.
The habitats along the Pacific Americas Flyway also provide important ecosystem services to growing coastal communities. Many of these coastal ecosystems and the services they provide are threatened due to increasing pressures from expanding human development and climate change, which are contributing to on-going shorebird declines.
ACS is proud to announce the Coastal Solutions Fellows Program. Over the past year, we have been working with our partners to design a program that supports young Latin American professionals to work on coastal solutions. In order to target the complex challenges surrounding coastal development, we need new solutions that combine knowledge, expertise, and ideas from multiple disciplines and sectors. Co-funded by David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Coastal Solutions Fellows Program is building a community of early-career leaders from the academic, private, and non-profit sectors that are working on new approaches to coastal development and ecosystem management.
Visit the website for more information.
Capital Azul Coastal Marine Reserve Program
ACS and its partners (Pontífica Universidad Católica de Chile and Shellcatch) are working with fishing organizations along the central coast of Chile to create a network of marine reserves that are managed by fishermen.
Over the past several years, we have designed a program that is both desirable to fishing communities and leverages Chilean law that grants fishing cooperatives exclusive access rights to stretches of the coast. Known as TURFs (Territorial User Rights for Fisheries), these access rights are an important source of income for fishing communities via benthic fisheries.
A number of fishing communities have chosen to participate in the Capital Azul Coastal Marine Reserve Program. They agree to set aside a portion of their TURF as a no-take zone and agree to conduct anti-poaching surveillance.
In exchange, the community receives an annual payment to help with enforcement costs, as well as a video coastal monitoring system that independently monitors the no-take zone. ACS then monitors the biodiversity at the no-take zone and control sites to document changes and benefits. With support from Walton Family Foundation, we will be working over the next year to scale the program in central Chile by enrolling more fishing organizations in the Capital Azul Coastal Marine Reserve Program.

Designing Coastal Solutions
Last month ACS led a workshop focused on designing new solutions to coastal challenges in Latin America. Held at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama City, over 30 scientists, architects, and planners participated, representing multiple countries along the Pacific coast of the Americas. We spent a day working with experts from Canada to Chile on designing a program that would promote new solutions across Latin America. Working with partners Cornell University and the David & Lucile Packard Foundation, ACS is designing a ten-year fellowship program to tackle environmental challenges in coastal areas.
The goal of the Coastal Solutions Fellows Program is to build, train, and support a collaborative network of scientists, developers, and planners who are designing and implementing new evidence-based solutions to coastal environmental challenges in Latin America. For the next decade, the Program will support the development of innovative solutions for conservation and development in Latin America along the Pacific Americas Flyway. From Mexico to Chile, dozens of coastal sites provide critical habitat for millions of migrating shorebirds. Shorebirds exemplify the connectedness, wonder, and complexity of nature by migrating annually from breeding sites in the Arctic to key wintering sites in Latin America. Many species are endangered, partly because these coastal sites are threatened by development, climate change, and other dynamic processes. Coastal Solutions Fellows will collaborate across sectors to develop new evidence-based approaches to improve the protection of shorebirds and their habitats in Latin America along the Pacific Americas Flyway.
The greatest threats to the Pacific Americas Flyway in Latin America are various types of business as usual coastal development, including urban, tourism, and aquaculture. These threats are exacerbated by current and projected impacts associated to climate change. Effective solutions that target and reduce these threats will require collaborations between scientists, planners, and developers. Yet, opportunities for developing cross-sector collaborations are rare. The Coastal Solutions Fellows Program exists to spark new collaborations between scientists, planners, and developers by promoting peer-to-peer learning, providing strategic trainings, and challenging fellows to develop site-based coastal solutions along the Pacific Americas Flyway.
Community-based Environmental Monitoring in Mexico
ACS recently returned from the Yucatan where we are working the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and CONABIO (Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad). Over the next six months, we will be helping CONABIO understand what influences participation in their community-based avian monitoring program. One of the longest-running programs of its type, the program consists of a network of dozens of community groups monitoring birds across all of Mexico.
Invasive Species on the Andaman Islands
Josh Donlan recently returned from India where he was working with Indian scientists and the local NGO Andaman and Nicobar Environment Team. On the Andaman Islands, Josh participated in a workshop focused on invasive herbivores, their impacts on the Andaman Islands, and potential management options. The workshop was well received, including active participation by the Department of Forestry and Conservation. ACS is assisting with next steps, which include moving forward on a feasibility study and a demonstration project focused on the management of invasive herbivores.
Panama Bay Landscape Assessment
ACS recently returned from Panama where we are conducting a Landscape Assessment of Panama Bay. The Bay is one of the most important wintering grounds for shorebirds in the western hemisphere. As Panama City continues to develop at a rapid pace, many challenges are emerging around striking a balance between development and the protection of the coastal habitats surrounding the city. As part of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation's Marine Birds Program, ACS is talking with all stakeholders in Panama City, across all sectors, to help better understand the dynamics around development and what solutions and strategies will help protect the important mangrove and mudflat habitats surrounding Panama City.
Helping Foundations Be More Effective
ACS spent much of its time in 2014 helping environmental foundation do what they do better. In collaboration with Dantzker Consulting and Clarus Research, ACS worked with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) to conduct a mid-program evaluation of their Pacific Seabird Program. This work included an expert elicitation survey to help NFWF craft a forward-looking strategy for seabird conservation in the Pacific that will maximize conservation returns. You can download the NFWF evaluation here.
Working with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and Foundation Ensemble, ACS conducted a marine conservation assessment of Peru. Peru's marine environment is unique and globally important from many perspectives. It supports the anchoveta fishery—the world's largest fishery. The Humboldt Large Marine ecosystem is one of the world's most productive ecosystems—both its complexity and biodiversity are staggering. And Peru's marine environment supports jobs and livelihoods. A recent study estimates that Peru's fisheries sector alone provides over 200,000 jobs, the majority of which are connected to the artisanal fishing sector. We provided the assessment by synthesizing the relevant literature and conducting in-country interviews across all relevant sectors. The report will be available to the public soon.
Technology, Human-Centered Design, and Biodiversity
In Chile, ACS is designing and testing a market model that provides measurable coastal biodiversity benefits while simultaneously providing livelihood security to fishing cooperatives. In partnership the social start-up Shellcatch, Stefan Gelcich (Center for Applied Ecology and Sustainability, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile), and Mike Sorice (Va Tech University, USA), we are doing so by co-designing a program with artisanal fishers that compensates them for the opportunity costs forgone by setting aside a portion of their Territorial User Rights for Fisheries as a no-take zone. The outcome is a scalable program that provides a supplementary revenue stream to fishing cooperatives in exchange for management actions that produce verified biodiversity benefits and promote sustainable fisheries.
We are partnering with the social business Shellcatchto develop the technology and protocols to verify contract conditions with participating fishing cooperatives. Building on over three years of experience in Chile, we have developed video monitoring and GPS technology that can detect anti-poaching events within established no-take zones. This technology is the foundation to monitor the anti-poaching surveillance and reporting component that is required by participating fishing cooperatives.
Below is video footage of our land-based video monitoring system designed to detect poaching events, as well as verify contract compliance with participating fishing cooperatives.

Schools Challenge Cymru proves money doesn't fix everything
Figures show launch of flagship school improvement strategy has seen GCSE scores rise and fall in South Wales
New figures reveal money spent on govt's flagship school improvement plan
Throwing more money at schools does not always drive up pupil performance, according to a new analysis of a flagship education policy.
Official data compiled by the Welsh Government breaks down the funding received by secondary schools enrolled in the multi-million-pound Schools Challenge Cymru (SCC) initiative.
But winning a share of £20m does not necessarily translate into improved results, with the proportion of pupils obtaining a key GCSE benchmark falling in some schools despite the benefit of extra investment.
Related: Wales' new schools 'challenge' programme paying off, says expert
A snapshot of nine schools involved in SCC highlights the variation in performance across the Central South Wales region.
School performances
In Cardiff, Cantonian High School received an additional £237,250 in the 2014-15 academic year and saw its proportion of pupils gaining five A*-C grades including English or Welsh and maths (Level 2+) rise by 8% – from 35.8% to 43.8% – this summer.
But the picture was not as strong elsewhere in the city, with troubled Eastern High School's Level 2+ score dipping by 7.6% – from 21.5% to 13.9% – despite benefiting from an extra £229,260.
Willows High's Level 2+ performance also fell, from 49.7% to 46.1% (-3.6%), having received £328,000 more from Welsh Government coffers.
In the Vale of Glamorgan, Barry Comprehensive improved its Level 2+ score by 12% – from 37.4% to 49.4% – with a windfall of £218,600, while Hawthorn High in Rhondda Cynon Taf went up by 7.4% (from 40.5% to 47.9%) on the back of £267,100 extra funding.
More on this: Welsh Government's school improvement strategy is 'not delivering', Plaid Cymru claims
Wales' answer to successful 'challenge' programmes launched in London and Manchester, SCC was launched last year and promised that 40 'Pathways to Success' schools would benefit from a share of £20m.
Mixed results
The investment is being used to help drive up classroom standards and comes after Wales' poor performance in the international Pisa rankings, which rates the nation's key skills the worst in the UK.
Dr Philip Dixon, director of education union ATL Cymru, said: "These figures now need careful probing. We need to get a coherent and plausible explanation as to why some schools have improved in leaps and bounds with the extra cash, while others have actually gone backwards.
"The effects of SCC need to be felt across the board not just in patches across Wales."
Related story: New school improvement plan a 'fundamental change' says Huw Lewis
A spokeswoman for the Welsh Government said: "Our challenge schools are making good progress. After just one year of additional support, the majority of the schools have seen an improvement in attainment, with some reporting their best results ever.
"Our Schools Challenge Cymru champion Professor Mel Ainscow has already said that the progress made by the Welsh challenge schools after just one year of the programme is greater than that made by both the London and Manchester challenges at the same stage.
"We must remember that these are the 40 most challenged schools in Wales which historically have under-performed. For some, their first year has been about making significant structural changes to address the deep-rooted issues that have led to their under-performance.
"We are confident that the challenge has supported them all to secure the right foundations on which to build sustainable improvement for the longer-term.
"The important thing now is that we build on the programme's excellent progress and continue to drive up standards."

Universal Releases First Look At THE MUMMY
December 1, 2016 Rich Drees Movie News
Universal Pictures will be releasing the first full trailer for The Mummy, its opening installment its planned Monsters Cinematic Universe, on Sunday. But to whet your appetite for the clip, they have released a short, fifteen-second tease which even its short runtime reveals some rather interesting things. Of course we are going to get to see some of star Tom Cruise. And while it was a given that we would see a bit of Sofia Boutella as the titular character, it is surprising that they let us see her in her more monstrous incarnation. And we also get a quick glimpse of Russel Crowe's Dr. Jekyll. And those of you well-versed in the classic Universal horror films that this new franchise will be based on will probably recognize that the advertising line "Welcome to a world of gods and monsters" as coming from the classic Bride Of Frankenstein.
The Mummy opens June 9, 2017 with more films in the franchise to follow annually.
Here's the studio's official synopsis for the film –
Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy.
Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.
From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.
Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television's Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV's American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).

Why are we the way we are? Moral Animal tries to answer this question. The book was suggested to me by Patrick McKenna and Scott Faber and Alan Peterson … all telling me the book would change the way i look at life. And while the book was not as profound as to change my outlook, it was extremely fascinating and mind expanding and i would highly suggest reading the book.
The book chronicles Darwin and his ideas. And it has some great pages relating us humans to many other animals.

Each The mitigation and utilization of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are among the most important challenges in the area of energy research. In the gas refinery, tail gas in sulfur recovery unit is a main source of CO2 emission and the natural gas to flare is also a source of methane and CO2. In this paper, Dry Reforming– Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis–Catalytic Dehydrogenation (DRM–FTS–CDH) process isproposed to recover flare gas and tail gas in the gas refinery and calculation and simulation was done. Dry reforming of CH4 (DRM), which uses both CO2 and CH4 as reactants, is a potential method to utilize the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. DRM offers several advantages: a) mitigation of CO2 and natural gas; b) transformation of natural gas and CO2 into valuable syngas; c) effective utilization of low–grade natural gas resources consisting of natural gas and CO2. Hydrogen in the product could be applied as a fuel in fuel cells and the syngas can be converted efficiently to ultraclean fuels, such as gasoline, gasoil with no sulfur and less aromatic byproducts, by Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS). But with respect to nature of DRM process which results in a H2\CO ratio of less than unity while FTS of liquid fuels requires syngas with H2\CO≥2.0. By producing the required H2 by catalytic dehydrogenation (CDH) of the gaseous (C1–C4) products of FTS, instead of WGS reaction, it could be retrieved shortage of H2\CO ratio. In this research basic supports such as alumina, Fe–Mn–K catalyst and carbon nanotubes selected for DRM–FTSCDH, respectively. This new process is a suitable alternative to conventional gas flaring which prevents harmful environmental effects through emission of significant amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.<\div>
