When it comes to prestigiously-badged compact executive German cars, traditional thinking suggests that estates are fine but five-door hatchbacks aren't. Audi however, hasn't made it to the top of the pile by traditional thinking and their first generation A5 Sportback aimed to turn such thinking on its head, with coupe styling married to a couple of rear passenger doors and hatchback practicality. Here, we look at the post-2012 facelifted version, evaluating it as a used buy.


Michelle, we have been wandering for kilometers all through the area between Kreuzberg and Neukölln. Why did you choose to meet me there? What is so special about it?
I really like the atmosphere there. You can almost feel how the air is vibrating with energy and yet you can still find some peaceful spots in between.
You were born and raised in Berlin, the place the rest of the world seems to be so drawn to. Are you on the other hand attracted by the outside world, be it nature or other cities?
At some point even Berlin can loose its sparkle. So yes, I am moving on. I still do not know where I am going, but I am trying to take in as much as I can.
You have told me about long walks through London and the mountain hikes you had planned. Right after we parted, this quote from Christoph Ransmayr's novel The Terrors of Ice and Darkness came to my mind : " Let us not forget: The line of flight is only a line, not a road. From a physiognomic viewpoint, we are pedestrians and runners." What does walking mean to you?
Well, I'll have to answer with another quote, though I can't remember where I got it from: "walking is just controlled falling".
You have been scouted out of the blue and now you are modeling instead of enrolling art school and are heading to Milan and not to the Alps. How are you dealing with such a change of plans? What is exciting about such a new and unexpected turn?
We have been talking a lot about Lars von Trier, too. What is it, that you find so fascinating in his movies?
It's the feeling I am left with after watching each of his movies, it's as if I'd have been thrown an ice bucket right into my face.

Q: Pass parameter from C# to Crystal Reports I'm having trouble passing a parameter from a C# form to my report.
I have 3 stored procedures in sql server database MoM, which require @MoM_ID.
At first, when i was setting up my report I added these procedures into it and gave them the value 339 (@MoM_ID = 339). The only two options were to add the value or set it to NULL in order to continue.
After setting up my report, i added the following code to my C# form, that occurs on a button click. The code should pass the parameter to the stored procedures, and output the report as a pdf file, with the new values in the report. However when i do that, i always end up getting the same default values in the report where @MoM_ID was equal to 339.
This is the code:

ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();
ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField();
ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields();
ParameterDiscreteValue paramDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();

//Set instances for input parameter 1 -  @Dept
paramField.Name = "@MoM_ID(Action_Items)";
            //*Remember to reconstruct the paramDiscreteValue and paramField objects
paramDiscreteValue.Value = "337";
paramField.CurrentValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue);
//Add the paramField to paramFields
paramFields.Add(paramField);
crystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;

reportDocument.Load(@"C:\Users\nbousaba\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\WindowsFormsApplication4\WindowsFormsApplication4\Report1.rpt");
//Load the report by setting the report source
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

//set the database loggon information.
reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon("//USERNAME", "//PW", "//IP", "MoM");

    CrExportOptions = reportDocument.ExportOptions;
    {
        CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
        CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
        CrExportOptions.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions;
        CrExportOptions.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions;
    }
    reportDocument.Export();
}
catch (Exception ex)

    MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}

Thank you

Using the latest analytical methods , Rull and his collaborators are beginning to shed light on many of these questions. Complete sedimentary samples now show a continuous record of the last 3000 years, showing how droughts and wet seasons may have influenced the island's population. Sea travel depended on such weather patterns, resulting in periods of cultural exchange or isolation. Rainfall also impacted native palm forests, with droughts potentially contributing to the island's eventual deforestation. Radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis of artifacts and human remains are also showing where the inhabitants lived on the island, what they farmed and ate, and the influence of cultures beyond their Polynesian ancestors.

Q: Understanding of bosons and fermions from time-dependent state in Srednicki's QFT Recently, I am reading Srednicke's QFT by myself and just get started. In the very beginning chapter Attempts at Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, it says that consider a time-dependent state of the form
$$|\psi,t\rangle=\int d^3x_1\dots d^3x_n\, \psi(\mathbf{x}_1,\dots,\mathbf x_n;t)\,a^{\dagger}(\mathbf x_1)\dots a^{\dagger}(\mathbf x_n)|0\rangle
$$
(on page 13) because the creation operators commute with each other, only the completely symmetric part of $\psi$ survives the integration in the above equation. For the bolded part, I do not understand the reason. So far, I know that since $[a^{\dagger}(\mathbf x),a^\dagger(\mathbf{x'})]=0$, one can swap $\mathbf x$ in any $a^\dagger$ term in the above form. Then do the change of dummy variable to make the swap in the coordinate of $a^\dagger$ into the swap of $\mathbf x$ in $\psi$. Then my concern is why can one say only the symmetric part of $\psi$ can be left. I understand that if $\psi$ is replaced by a symmetric function, then the equation after swapping can be held. However, I do not understand the inverse.

A: Ok, I think I understand your confusion. Lets consider just this basic definition of antisymmetry of a function: $f_{\text{anti}}(x,y)= -f_{\text{anti}}(y,x)$.
You can define this with every pair of your variables: $f_{\text{anti}}(x,y,z)= -f_{\text{anti}}(y,x,z)$ or $f_{\text{anti}}(x,y,z) = -f_{\text{anti}}(x,z,y)$ and so on.
When you integrate a symmetric function with an antisymmetric function it will give zero as we know. So you can do this with any of the variables and it will always survive the symmetric part.
I will explain it in more detail now:
The creation operators are all together symmetric in the $x_i$'s. So I will just define the symmetric creation operator for all $a$'s as: $a^\dagger_{all}$ (we include also the vacuum state into this definition, but its not necessary for the understanding of the "surviving" symmetries).
Now lets just consider a function $\psi(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ which depends just on 3 variables. Extending it to more variables is no problem as you will see.
Lets now divide this function into its symmetry parts. Lets define the symmetric part in $x_1$ and $x_2$ as $S_{12}(\psi)$ and the antisymmetric part in $x_1$ and $x_2$ as $A_{12}(\psi)$. It doesn't matter how this splitting is going on...we just know that there is a symmetric and an antisymmetric part [ (this means that you must not define $S=\frac{1}{2}(f(x,y)+f(y,x)$ and $A=\frac{1}{2}(f(x,y)-f(y,x))$ ]
So lets write down the whole function $\psi$ (the dependence of the $x$'s is understood):
$$\psi=S_{12}(\psi)+A_{12}(\psi)$$
But we can split any of this parts into the symmetries of $2 \to 3$ and $1 \to 3$. Lets do it just for the symmetric part $S_{12}$...the other is done similar.
$S_{12}(\psi)=S_{12}(S_{23}(\psi))+S_{12}(A_{23}(\psi))$ (and the same  with $1 \to 3$) again. So with $n$ particles we would have to split it $n$-times into its symmetric and antisymmetric parts.
Any term which has one (or more) antisymmetric terms (say $A_{12}$ or $A_{23}$ or $A_{13}$) will vanish in the integration because the $a^{\dagger}_{\text{all}}$ is totally symmetric. So the only part which survives is $S_{12}S_{23}S_{13}$ which is the completely symmetric part of $\psi$ as Srednicki said.

A: According to user487344's idea. For each arbitrary pair of $x_i$ and $x_j$, the function after doing the integral of all $x_k$ except $x_i$ and $x_j$ can only leave its symmetric part, say the following function
$$\Phi(x_i,x_j)=\int d^3x_1\dots \widehat{d^3x_i}...\widehat{d^3x_j}...d^3x_n \psi(x_1,...,x_n)a^\dagger(x_1)...\widehat{a^\dagger(x_i)}...\widehat{a^\dagger(x_j)}...a^\dagger(x_n)
$$
where the wide hat means without involving the term of $x_i$ and $x_j$. As we know swapping $x_i$ and $x_j$ will not change the value of $\int d^3x_id^3x_j\Phi(x_i,x_j)a^\dagger(x_i)a^\dagger(x_j)|0\rangle$. Also, we know that for a two-variable function $f(x,y)=S f(x,y)+Af(x,y)$ where $Sf(x,y):=1/2(f(x,y)+f(y,x))$ and $Af(x,y):=1/2(f(x,y)-f(y,x))$). Then notice the symmetrization can be pull into the integration of $xs'$, this leads the remaining of $\tilde{\psi}_{ij}=2\times1/2\psi(x_1,...,_{(x_i,}...,x_k,..._{x_j)},...,x_n)$ where the subcript means to do the symmetrization on these variables,$f_{(x_i,x_j)}:=f(x_i,x_j)+f(x_j,x_i)$. Similarly, for the remaining $\tilde\psi_{ij}$ put it into the position of $\psi$ in $\Phi$ (since we know the antisymmetric part vanishes) do the same thing again and again and again until you compute all the indices. Eventually, one can obtain a $\psi$ which is totally symmetric in its coordinates.

Q: Nonnegativity conditions for a polynomial in two variables? Let
$$P(X,Y)= c_{22}X^2Y^2 +c_{21}X^2Y +c_{12}XY^2 +c_{20}X^2 +c_{11}XY+c_{02}Y^2+c_{10}X+c_{01}Y+c_{00}$$
be a polynomial of two variables $X$ and $Y$ with real coefficients $c_{ij}$.
What are the necessary and sufficient conditions on the coefficients $c_{ij}$ such that $P(X,Y) \geq 0$ for all pairs $(X,Y)$ with $X\geq 0$, $Y\geq 0$?

A: You can rewrite your polynomial in squared variables (so it will be of degree 8) and homogenise it, obtaining a ternary form of degree 8.
There is a result of Hilbert in Acta Math. 17(1893) that applies here; he shows that a real ternary form of degree $2d$ satisfies $f(x,y,z)\geq 0$ for all $x,y,z$ iff it is representable as the rational function $p(x,y,z)/q(x,y,z)$, with $p$ and $q$ homogeneous globally nonnegative of degrees $4d-4$, resp., $2d-4$, and $p$ being a sum of squares of forms.
(the result also says how many terms there are, etc)
Here, as $d=4$, we can assume that $q$ is a sum of squares of forms, as it is of degree 4 (by much more famous Hilbert's result from 1888).
We showed that this can be made into an algorithm, cf.
http://www.optimization-online.org/DB_HTML/2001/11/399.html
(published here:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377221703005162)

A: Here's a trick (which sometimes works), but it might be contained in the comments above. As stated, the Newton polyhedron (convex hull of the exponents, the latter viewed as lattice points in ${\bf R}^2$), $K$, of $P$, is contained in the double unit square in ${\bf R}^2$. First, an obvious necessary condition for nonnegativity: the coefficients of the extreme points of $K$ must be positive (as opposed to negative).
Next, for each edge of $K$, there is a corresponding polynomial (just take the exponents appearing in the edge, and use the coefficients from $P$); if $P$ is nonnegative, each of these edge polynomials must be nonnegative---but after a change of variables, the edge polynomials are really just polynomials in one variable, for which testing for nonnegativity is just the quadratic formula in your example).
This gives some necessary conditions.
Now a sufficient condition for positivity:
If $P(x,y) >$ on the interior of the positive orthant, and each of the edge polynomials is positive (which implies the coefficients at the extreme points of $K$ are all positive), then for any $Q$ with the same supporting monomials  as $P$ and $Q$ having no nonnegative coefficients, there exists an integer $M$ such that the product, $Q^M P$, has no negative coefficients. (This is a generalization of Polya and Meissner's theorems; when $K$ is the double unit square, this is Meissner's theorem.)
The simplest (but probably not the best) choice for $Q$ is $\sum x^w$ where $w$ varies over the lattice points in $K$ (where $x^w = x_1^{w(1)}x_2^{w(2)}$ is the usual monomial, with $w = (w(1),w(2))$. Another choice is to replace the negative coefficients in $P$ by their absolute value. In any event, you can try testing $Q^m P$ for large (whatever that means in this context) choices of $m$.
And a variation: if you suspect your thing is only nonnegative, add $\epsilon Q = \epsilon \cdot \sum_{w \in K} x^w$ to $P$, where $0 <\epsilon$ is much smaller than all the absolute values of the nonzero coefficients of $P$, and test $Q^m \cdot (P + \epsilon Q)$ for nonnegative coefficients. If succcessful, reduce $\epsilon$. If unsuccessful, increase $\epsilon$; this might give estimates of lower bounds.
The problem, as usual, is that it can't give a negative answer, although it might suggest where to look.

A: There is Stengle's positivensatz,, otherwise, if your polynomial were homogeneous, you could use Polya's theorem, and if you could make your domain compact, you can use Handelman's theorem, but otherwise, Stengle is your man.

Here's a challenge for you: I've been trying to figure out how to correctly log my preserved (salted) lemons in cronometer. I use them a lot in recipes, but it seems that the sodium content at the end is way higher than it should be. Yes, there is a lot of salt in preserved lemons (like 3/4 cup to 8 lemons plus 1 cup of water). But after simmering you strain the lemons and rinse off the extra salt. So I'm estimating that at least half of the salt does not remain in the actual recipe. But that's just a guess. You do have "Greenfield Preserved Lemons" in the database, but the sodium content per serving for those is 0 -- which to me doesn't sound correct either. On my recipe, the sodium content comes up with 1752 mg - which is more than what I want to consume for the whole day. Do you have any idea how to go around it? (other than not eat them period?! Thanks for your help and for having such a great app on the market!
That's a tricky one - trying to measure how much salt is left after you rinse them off.
I don't know if this is a very practical suggestion, but you could try to save the strained liquid and the rinse liquid and let the water evaporate off, then weigh the salt that is left behind. If you do try this, let us know the results!
That's a great idea!! I'll do that next time I make a batch!! Thanks!!


Selenite, a variety of gypsum nicknamed "Liquid Light," produces a clear, purifying energy that can be used to charge other stones and jewelry, or can be placed in a corner or windowsill to protect against life's hidden spiritual buildup. Named for the greek goddess of the moon - Selene - its energy was believed to wax and wane with the moon's cycles. Its pure energy can be used to cleanse the energy that builds up in other stones after being worn over time, or can be placed on a windowsill to absorb the energy from the Sun or Moon, and dissipate that energy throughout your home, or be placed in a pocket for easy transport and portable cleansing. Our Selenite comes from Morocco and is delivered with a natural rough finish. You may choose to polish your selenite if you'd like, but please be mindful to not use water when polishing, as this can cause this gypsum-based mineral to deteriorate. Selenite can be easily polished with a fingernail buffing tool. This bundle includes a large 5" piece of Selenite.
White Sage is an herb native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Burned for generations in Native American rituals, White Sage releases a thick, earthy smoke that can be used to dispel negative and positive energy, offering a clean slate. It is perfect to burn when transitioning to a new home or job. White sage can be burned while holding in your hand and using as a smidge stick to waft the smoke over yourself or around your home, or can be placed in abalone Shell and left to burn as incense. It will burn itself out after a few minutes or can be tamped out in the Shell if desired. Our White Sage comes from Northern California and is sustainably harvested. We get White Sage shipments every other month, and store it in airtight containers to maintain its freshness. This item includes one 4" bound white sage smudge stick.
Cleansing bundles are great tools to be used to clear energy that builds up over time in your malas, home, or self. This bundle contains all the tools you need to maintain clear and positive energy and manifest serenity, love and happiness. Our bundle comes fully assembled with all the elements inside the shell, and tied together with a recycled sari silk ribbon from India. Each Cleansing bundle also includes a cotton muslin bag to store it in. Perfect as a housewarming gift, or a wonderful way to invest in your own self care practice!
+ Silk cord: for an additional $5, I will string the crystal charm of your choice on a piece of silk thread to be worn as a necklace. This option also includes all the components of the full smudge kit.
+ Wire-wrapped Charm: For an additional $10, you may purchase the wire-wrapped upgrade and I will use tarnish-resistant Gold Plated or Sterling Silver Plated wire to wire wrap the crystal of your choice and turn it into a pendant on a leather cord. This option also includes all the components of the full smudge kit.
Shell Only / No Bundle: This option includes only the Abalone shell and crystal charm, but does not include the bundle components.
Bundle Only / No Shell: This option comes with all the above components except the shell. Includes White Sage, Palo Santo, Selenite, and Amethyst or Citrine Crystal Charm.


Second and third year Law Graduates who are introduced to the professional environment of Legal Practise.
The programme runs for two weeks at a time during which period students primarily learn through jobshadowing Professionals in different departments.
In order to develop professional confidence and provide job experience within a defined structure, the Client Counselling Programme has been introduced.
On the first day, a short discussion is held in the morning on the case study for the Client Counselling Competition. This case study should ideally entail subject matter that is not an area of practice at the firm e.g. Criminal work, Matrimonial and Divorce matters, etc.
A written case study is handed to the Law Graduates with a short instruction sheet on what they are expected to research, write, draft, etc.
The Law Graduate is encouraged to draw up a Consultation Checklist to make use of during the consultation that will take place another day in the programme.
The Law Graduate will also be instructed to write a letter based on this case study which can be assessed and made use of as an example of their English writing and planning ability. This is also useful as one of the recruitment tools if it should be needed.
A schedule for the relevant times that each team is expected to consult with the chosen client on the client counseling will also be distributed.
A client will be chosen and briefed on the case study and will consult with ALL of the teams during the competition on the counseling date.
The group of Vacation Clerks will have the opportunity to choose a teammate as the Competition necessitates them to consult in teams of two (2).
A short Assessment Checklist will be distributed and explained to the learners as well as the three (3) Judges of the Competition. This signed assessment will be a useful assessment tool for recruitment and can be used if it should be required.
Three judges will be nominated from the Education Committee / Recruitment Committee / External English Assessor or which ever body is appropriate.
The Law Graduates are given tips on how to deal with a difficult client and given the opportunity to set up a meeting room and print themselves business cards to distribute during the consultation if they want to. These cards must be developed bearing the Law Society Guidelines in mind.
On the counseling date a short discussion is held with the law graduate on the procedure of the competition and they are motivated fully in order to make the competition worth while.
Certificates and prizes for achievement will be distributed once the final assessment has been completed.
A group feedback session on areas of developments is held with the entire group at the end of the counseling day.
A full second day is spent presenting individual and team feedback sessions following the counseling day.

The reality star and wellness guru announced her pregnancy earlier this month and has been documenting every step of the way as this is the first time she is eating healthy and exercising while expecting.

Nicki Minaj slammed for comparing herself to Harriet Tubman
Nicki Minaj was criticized after she compared herself to Harriet Tubman ahead of her appearance at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards. Fans slammed the rapper for making the comparison to the historic abolitionist who helped free slaves through the Underground Railroad before the Civil War.
Nicki Minaj got candid talking about a past abusive relationship.
"When u see a woman in a toxic relationship, rather than laugh & say mean things, try to offer sound advice from your heart & root for her to learn her worth. We've all been there," she wrote on Twitter on Sunday. "I saw my parents fight & argue non stop & never divorce, so I thought this was normal behavior…"
The 36-year-old, who is engaged to Kenneth Petty, went on to say she was involved in an abusive relationship of her own, recalling, "I rlly [sic] used to think love had to hurt."

'Modern Family' star Sofia Vergara slammed on social media over 'tone deaf' pics ahead of Hurricane Dorian

'Modern Family' star Sofia Vergara travels back to the '90s with topless Instagram pic
'Modern Family' star Sofia Vergara threw it back to the '90s when she posted a topless modeling photo of herself to her Instagram. In the photo, the actress sported blonde hair and gold strings draped across her topless torso. This isn't the first time Vergara has shared a blast-from-the-past photo either. Last July, the actress shared a photo of herself modeling a yellow swimsuit to celebrate National Bikini Day.
Sofia Vergara's glam beach photos calling out Hurricane Dorian aren't sitting too well with fans as many are readying for the storm.
"Esperando a Dorian," she captioned photos on Wednesday, (which translates to "waiting for Dorian") as her and girlfriends posed in beachy white ensembles with a tropical backdrop — each with a drink in hand. The second photo in the post was complete with her taking a big sip from her drink.
'MODERN FAMILY' CAST RE-CREATES GROUP PHOTO 10 YEARS LATER FOR SHOW'S FINAL SEASON
The photo garnered mix reactions from fans as some fawned over the "Modern Family" star's beauty, but others took offense to her lack of compassion for Floridians who are prepping for the hurricane.
"This is not funny at all," wrote one commenter.
"I am a fan. But the waiting for Dorian comment was not funny," wrote another.
Hurricane Dorian strengthened into an "extremely dangerous" Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph on Friday.
Although she doesn't specifically state where she is, she uses the hashtag "#Casachipichipi" which she's used before while at her Caribbean island vacation house where she's brought co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his husband.

Despite any backlash from followers, the 47-year-old actress continued to post carefree photos in the ocean with her friends.
In the last of her documenting her trip, she and her girlfriends were aboard a private plane.
"Bye bye Dorian!!" she wrote of the group photo, which wasn't received too well by fans.
"Must be nice here I sit wondering if I will have to evacuate and will my pets be safe will I have electricity soon after the storm and will everything in my fridge have to be thrown away and I have to spend my money to replace," one commenter wrote.
"Como se dice 'tone deaf' en Espanol?" another chimed in.
President Donald Trump has declared a national state of emergency in Florida ahead of the storm's landfall.

Olivia Newton-John is letting her fans know she's doing well amid her third bout with breast cancer.
"I just want everyone to know I'm here, I'm doing great!" she told Entertainment Tonight this week at the Industry Dance Awards and Cancer Benefit Concert. "I'm doing really well, I'm really healthy."
The 70-year-old "Grease" icon, who was diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time and broke her sacrum last year, spoke positively about her recovery.
"I had to learn to walk again and all these things but I'm strong and I'm back and I'm feeling good, and loving every minute," she said.
She was diagnosed for the first time in 1992.
Newton-John, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the event, was also presented with a donation for her Cancer Wellness & Research Center in Australia, and told ET she's happy to be known for her time on screen but would love to be recognized for her philanthropy work.
"I'm happy if I'm entertaining people, but I'm happiest when I'm helping people, she said.
At the start of 2019, she debunked rumors that she was near death, saying that any of those claims were "greatly exaggerated."

Bethenny Frankel took to Instagram with a heartfelt tribute to her late boyfriend, Dennis Shields, on the one-year anniversary of his death.
In her lengthy post on Saturday, the "Real Housewives of New York" star recalled waking up on a typical summer morning with her dogs when her "world crumbled and turned upside down in an instant."
"A man Dennis, who I loved and respected, who was in my life for 30 years unexpectedly passed away," the 48-year-old wrote.
BETHENNY FRANKEL REVEALS DENNIS SHIELDS WAS WITH HER AT 'RHONY' REUNION A MONTH BEFORE HIS DEATH
Shields, who Frankel met years ago but had dated on-and-off since 2016, was found dead after overdosing on a combination of oxycodone, Vicodin and a sleeping pill in his Trump Tower apartment in Manhattan last year. He was 51.
Frankel's grieving process was captured on the most recent season of the Bravo reality show as she started filming three weeks after the incident.
On the show, she revealed he had proposed to her at one point but she wasn't quite ready to tie the knot for various reasons. In one episode, she also opened up to a grief counselor and admitted she felt "guilty" about his passing.

In her tribute, she shared a photo of Shields with her two dogs, Biggy and Smallz, complete with a sweet story of how he convinced her to adopt the pups and helped her name them.
"He loved these dogs and the feelings were mutual," she wrote.
"At times, it seemed like he and they spoke the same language and they were the only ones who understood him," she added. "He was a loving, sweet, gentle, brilliant, complicated, hilarious, creative and supportive man. He is missed terribly by so many but lives on in his friends and family and furry loved ones."

Frankel has since moved on with boyfriend Paul Bernon. They had known each other prior to Shields' death but she revealed in most recent "RHONY" reunion special that the two reconnected. They regularly post about each other on Instagram and just celebrated his birthday in Italy.
"I am a different person and in a different emotional place than I was a year ago," she concluded. "The wounds have begun to heal but the scar will remain on my heart forever."
She is mom to 9-year-old Bryn, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy. The two have been in an ongoing legal battle over custody.

Thanks to Kate Upton's social media movement empowering moms to #Sharestrong, Behati Prinsloo has shared a rare photo of her girls.
"Here's to the sleepless nights, bleeding nipples, crying, laughing, the highest of highs and lowest of lows and everything in between," Prinsloo wrote of a photo of her toting her kids, Dusty Rose, 2, and Gio Grace, 1. "I won't change a single thing, being mom to Dusty and Gio keeps me strong, motivated and empowered. This is my #sharestrong thanks @kateupton for starting this."
The model, 31, who rarely posts photos of her daughters on Instagram, shares her girls with Maroon 5 rocker Adam Levine. They welcomed Gio Grace last February.
Upton, 27, took to social media on Thursday to start the hashtag movement encouraging other moms to share what keeps them going.
"I want her to feel comfortable to radiate strength, power and confidence," she wrote of her daughter. "I realize that starts with me. Now I encourage you to join the conversation and share why you're strong."
Upton and husband Justin Verlander welcomed their first child, Vivi, in November.
Jessica Biel also hopped on the honesty bandwagon by sharing a fresh-faced selfie and writing, "Spreading some self love today with zero filter and zero makeup for my girl @KateUpton. She's on a mission to encourage everyone to feel strong and love themselves *as they are*… and I'm so honored to help spread that message."
The actress, 37, and her pop megastar hubby Justin Timberlake had their first child, Silas, in 2015. Timberlake was among those sharing his approval of her post.
"I like you better with no makeup on," he wrote in the comments.
Bindi Irwin wants her brother to walk her down the aisle on wedding day

Bindi Irwin's wedding planning has just begun, but there are already a few details she knows for certain.
"I think that for me, it'll be really important that Robert walks me down the aisle," she told Entertainment Tonight this week. "That's something that I really want to do."
"He has been such a big part of my life and he's always stepped up and been the one to give me a hug when I need it and encourage me forward in life," she added of her 15-year-old brother.
Bindi, who got engaged to longtime boyfriend Chandler Powell on her 21st birthday this week, told the outlet that Robert stepping in the typical father-of-the-bride role will honor their late father, animal expert and television personality Steve Irwin, on her big day.
Steve Irwin, known as "The Crocodile Hunter," died in an accident involving a stingray in 2006. At the time, Bindi was just 8 years old.
As for additional wedding details, instead of a father-daughter dance, she wants her mother, Terri, to step in for the precious moment instead.
"My mom and I are so close," Bindi said. "She's my pillar of strength in life and I love her beyond description. So I think, when the time comes, Robert will walk me down the aisle, [Chandler and I] will have our wonderful moment and I'll have my dance with mom."
The young conservationist, who works with her family as Animal Planet cameras follow them on their adventures on "Crikey! It's the Irwins," said the nuptials will take place next year.
In her engagement announcement on Instagram, Bindi wrote a sweet message to her future husband.
"Chandler, close to 6 years ago I fell in love with you and every day since has been a whirlwind of adventure and true happiness," she said. "Here's to a lifetime of friendship, purpose and unconditional love. — Now let's get married already!"
Charo describes how she 'hugged' her husband after his suicide: 'I was full of blood'
in article, Christine Burroni, fnc, fnc/entertainment, fox-news/entertainment/celebrity-news, fox-news/entertainment/events/departed, New York Post, News, News and News Media, News Corporation, News Media, News Releases, Uncategorized
In an emotional interview this week, Charo revealed how she found her husband, Kjell Rasten, after he fatally shot himself in February.
During an appearance on "The Talk" on Thursday, the singer told the co-hosts that she performed in Palm Springs, Calif. two nights before his death. He was 79.
"It was a special night and my husband was so proud," the 68-year-old said, explaining that the following night he opted out of going to dinner with her and had been acting strange.
"When he went to go to sleep he looked at me very strange like he wanted to talk to me," the entertainer said of the night before the incident at their Beverly Hills home.
As the co-hosts, including Eve and Carrie Ann Inaba, grew emotional during her recollection, Charo said she "had no clues at all," that he was going to take his own life.
"He was the best husband, the best father, the best companion … so the next day, February 18, at 9 o'clock he shot himself but he didn't want me to find him," she recalled.
She said that he took his life in an alley, but she eventually did find him.
"I [ran] to him because I thought he fell and I hugged him, and I was full of blood, my hair was full of blood," she said, mentioning that he still had a pulse at the time and ended up dying five hours later in surgery.
She chillingly recounted how the police told her that her husband took his own life.
"'He did not fall down, he put a bullet in his head,'" the police told her. "In that moment I had a bullet in my heart."
She reminded viewers of the CBS show to "watch for depression," as she has previously revealed that Rasten suffered from a "rare and horrible skin disease" that made him very depressed.
The two had been married for 30 years and shared their son, Shel Rasten.
The story originally appeared in the New York Post.
British actress Sophie Turner defends Alex Morgan 'sipping tea' during World Cup: 'I'm f—ing proud of you'
Sophie Turner took a break from her honeymoon with Joe Jonas to defend American soccer player Alex Morgan as she faces backlash for "sipping tea" as part of her goal celebration during Tuesday's match against England.
"Unfortunately the UK Women's football team lost at the World Cup and of course I'm incredibly sad and incredibly proud of that team," Turner, 23, said in a video posted to her Instagram story Friday. "But I am so honored that we lost to such an incredible team, the US women's football team."
SOPHIE TURNER, JOE JONAS SHARE ADORABLE FIRST OFFICIAL PHOTO FROM THEIR WEDDING DAY
The British "Game of Thrones" actress congratulated the star athlete and showed her support amid the criticism for her celebration — hours after the athlete told ESPN that the gesture was a nod to Turner's social media sign-offs, which are complete with an actual sip of tea or wine.

"Alex Morgan, all those haters are saying this is disrespectful, I'm honored that you thought of me," she said. "And all those people that are hating on you are probably sitting at home — millennials drinking kombucha — I'm really f–king proud of you, Alex Morgan, congratulations on your win, and that's the motherf—ing tea."
The soccer star responded to Turner by reposting her story to her own social media account with the message, "ILYSM! PS- CONGRATS!"
ALEX MORGAN TEA CELEBRATION DURING US WIN OVER ENGLAND OFFENDS SOME BRITS
Morgan, who helped the US Women's team defeat England by a final score of 2-1 on the same day as her 30th birthday, dubbed the backlash a "double standard."
"I feel that there is some sort of double standard for females in sports," she said. "To feel like we have to be humble in our successes and have to celebrate, but not too much or in a limited fashion. You see men celebrating all over the world in big tournaments, grabbing their sacks or whatever it is. And when I look at sipping a cup of tea, I am a little taken aback by the criticism."
Thankfully, she's got the Queen of the North on her side for when the women's team takes on the Netherlands in the tournament's final match on Sunday.

The boss always shows up!
Pump mastermind and Bravo star Lisa Vanderpump has made her way to Kentucky to celebrate the wedding of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, despite the loss of her mother.
Cartwright's mother, Sherri, took to Instagram on Friday night to let fans know that the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, 58, along with husband Ken are down south.
"Ken and Lisa Vanderpump have made it to KY," she captioned a photo of herself with the famed couple and their pup. Sherri also posted a photo of the husband-and-wife-to-be with Vanderpump to her Instagram story.
Vanderpump's mother, Jean, passed away last week and the reality star was said to be off to her native London to make funeral arrangements. She was in the midst of filming for "Vanderpump Rules," the "RHOBH" spin-off that Taylor, 39, and Cartwright, 30, star on.
Leading up to the Saturday nuptials, Cartwright told People that their boss wasn't expected to attend the wedding.
"Unfortunately, Lisa probably isn't going to be able to make it because of her mother's passing, which is so sad," Cartwright said. "I feel so bad for her that she had to go through all of this."
According to Taylor's Instagram stories, fellow Bravo star Shep Rose is also in attendance for the wedding.

In Washington, Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that based on the guidelines, which are determined based on factors such as Manafort's involvement and the nature of the crimes, he faces a range of 210 to 262 months and a $400,000 fine. But that is more than the statutory maximum which is five years, which the judge cannot exceed.
The demand for more diversified, sophisticated and rapid statistical services could be met by leveraging the emerging sources of Big Data, such as those relating to remote sensing imagery, transactional and social media data and mobile device data. Satellite imagery has significant potential to provide more timely statistical outputs, to reduce the frequency of surveys, to reduce respondent burden and other costs and to provide data at a more disaggregated level for informed decision making. The Task Team on Satellite Imagery and Geo Spatial Data aims to provide strategic vision, direction and development of a global work plan on utilising satellite imagery and geo spatial data for official statistics and indicators for post 2015 development goals.

Guldize appears to be part of the revival of Cornish folk culture. It seems to have been promoted by the Reverend Robert Stephen Hawker in the latter part of the 19th Century.

James, as a girlfriend I take issue with your backhander against girlfriends' styling suggestions. Girlfriends (or boyfriends) are usually the only ones brave enough to point out which styling habits have become ruts, and kind enough to suggest alternatives that might work.

These earrings were screw-on style, which I've replaced with wires. The drops are tear drop shaped, and have a leaf design carved in the faux sunstone ("goldstone") material. The drops measure 1-1/8 x 5/8 inch, and though one of the insets is offset just fractionally, it is not particularly noticeable when the earrings are worn. The frames and backs are rhodium plated.


I got a chance to take a quick look at the new SmartPhone 2002. The SmartPhone 2002 uses Windows CE as the base operating system and adds calendar, contacts, tasks, calculator, inbox, Pocket Internet Explorer, windows media player and integrates them into the cell phone.
Contacts - Since the screen is smaller, you can't see the phone numbers without selecting a contact.
Inbox - You can download attachments like Word and Excel however there is viewer/editor included.
Inbox message - you can quickly reply with 10 pre-set responses or type in your own response.
Windows Media Player - Videos, MP3s and WMAs.
I really liked the size and features of the SmartPhone. Clearly this will change the way we think about how we move data from device to device.

- The RE13 stainless steel/aluminum system fit perfectly, and installation was a breeze on our Kawasaki. No jiggling, wiggling, or cursing was required.
- During installation, we noticed that the header pipe mount is equipped with a rubber dampener to help absorb vibration and prevent breakage. A nice touch, indeed.
- The RE13 aluminum muffler is equipped with several internal baffles that help quiet the exhaust note. Overall, the system has a nice throaty sound, but is nearly as quiet as the stock system.
- The shape of the muffler allows it to be tucked away nicely, and it does not come into contact with the rear tire, even when we installed a wider 120/90-19 Dunlop.
- One of the Kawasaki KX450F's strongest attributes is its amazing powerband. The Bill's Pipes system enhances it everywhere, without robbing power from any single point in the rpm range. The KXF maintains its broad controllability, but when ridden aggressively is even more exciting with the RA13 installed.
- While other aftermarket systems hit harder in the middle and pull further up top at the expense of some low-end throttle response, the RA13 offers a noticeable boost in torque and mid-range, while at the same time maintaining the Kawasaki's ability to rev out in each gear.
- The header pipe's resonance chamber is tucked in nicely, up and out of the way of the rider's boot. None of us burned our boots of pants on it, and this is rare for an aftermarket system with no heat guard.
- The TIG welds on the stainless steel header and mid-pipe are works of art.
- Spark arrestor screen included for our trail riding brethren.
- We're nitpicking here, but the stock muffler bolt is far too long to use with the RA13 muffler. It would have been nice to include a shorter bolt.
- Not that we would run it, but it would be nice to have the option for a heat guard on the header pipe.

Notes on Posner's "The Economics of Privacy" (1981)
Lately my academic research focus has been privacy engineering, the designing of information processing systems that preserve privacy of their users. I have been looking the problem particularly through the lens of Contextual Integrity, a theory of privacy developed by Helen Nissenbaum (2004, 2009). According to this theory, privacy is defined as appropriate information flow, where "appropriateness" is determined relative to social spheres (such as health, education, finance, etc.) that have evolved norms based on their purpose in society.
To my knowledge most existing scholarship on Contextual Integrity is comprised by applications of a heuristic process associated with Contextual Integrity that evaluates the privacy impact of new technology. In this process, one starts by identifying a social sphere (or context, but I will use the term social sphere as I think it's less ambiguous) and its normative structure. For example, if one is evaluating the role of a new kind of education technology, one would identify the roles of the education sphere (teachers, students, guardians of students, administrators, etc.), the norms of information flow that hold in the sphere, and the disruptions to these norms the technology is likely to cause.
I'm coming at this from a slightly different direction. I have a background in enterprise software development, data science, and social theory. My concern is with the ways that technology is now part of the way social spheres are constituted. For technology to not just address existing norms but deal adequately with how it self-referentially changes how new norms develop, we need to focus on the parts of Contextual Integrity that have heretofore been in the background: the rich social and metaethical theory of how social spheres and their normative implications form.
Because the ultimate goal is the engineering of information systems, I am leaning towards mathematical modeling methods that trade well between social scientific inquiry and technical design. Mechanism design, in particular, is a powerful framework from mathematical economics that looks at how different kinds of structures change the outcomes for actors participating in "games" that involve strategy action and information flow. While mathematical economic modeling has been heavily critiqued over the years, for example on the basis that people do not act with the unbounded rationality such models can imply, these models can be a first step and valuable in a technical context especially as they establish the limits of a system's manipulability by non-human actors such as AI. This latter standard makes this sort of model more relevant than it has ever been.
This is my roundabout way of beginning to investigate the fascinating field of privacy economics. I am a new entrant. So I found what looks like one of the earliest highly cited articles on the subject written by the prolific and venerable Richard Posner, "The Economics of Privacy", from 1981.
Richard Posner, from Wikipedia
Wikipedia reminds me that Posner is politically conservative, though apparently he has changed his mind recently in support of gay marriage and, since the 2008 financial crisis, the laissez faire rational choice economic model that underlies his legal theory. As I have mainly learned about privacy scholarship from more left-wing sources, it was interesting reading an article that comes from a different perspective.
Posner's opening position is that the most economically interesting aspect of privacy is the concealment of personal information, and that this is interesting mainly because privacy is bad for market efficiency. He raises examples of employers and employees searching for each other and potential spouses searching for each other. In these cases, "efficient sorting" is facilitated by perfect information on all sides. Privacy is foremost a way of hiding disqualifying information–such as criminal records–from potential business associates and spouses, leading to a market inefficiency. I do not know why Posner does not cite Akerlof (1970) on the "market for 'lemons'" in this article, but it seems to me that this is the economic theory most reflective of this economic argument. The essential question raised by this line of argument is whether there's any compelling reason why the market for employees should be any different from the market for used cars.
Posner raises and dismisses each objective he can find. One objection is that employers might heavily weight factors they should not, such as mental illness, gender, or homosexuality. He claims that there's evidence to show that people are generally rational about these things and there's no reason to think the market can't make these decisions efficiently despite fear of bias. I assume this point has been hotly contested from the left since the article was written.
Posner then looks at the objection that privacy provides a kind of social insurance to those with "adverse personal characteristics" who would otherwise not be hired. He doesn't like this argument because he sees it as allocating the costs of that person's adverse qualities to a small group that has to work with that person, rather than spreading the cost very widely across society.
Whatever one thinks about whose interests Posner seems to side with and why, it is refreshing to read an article that at the very least establishes the trade offs around privacy somewhat clearly. Yes, discrimination of many kinds is economically inefficient. We can expect the best performing companies to have progressive hiring policies because that would allow them to find the best talent. That's especially true if there are large social biases otherwise unfairly skewing hiring.
On the other hand, the whole idea of "efficient sorting" assumes a policy-making interest that I'm pretty sure logically cannot serve the interests of everyone so sorted. It implies a somewhat brutally Darwinist stratification of personnel. It's quite possible that this is not healthy for an economy in the long term. On the other hand, in this article Posner seems open to other redistributive measures that would compensate for opportunities lost due to revelation of personal information.
There's an empirical part of the paper in which Posner shows that percentage of black and Hispanic populations in a state are significantly correlated with existence of state level privacy statutes relating to credit, arrest, and employment history. He tries to spin this as an explanation for privacy statutes as the result of strongly organized black and Hispanic political organizations successfully continuing to lobby in their interest on top of existing anti-discrimination laws. I would say that the article does not provide enough evidence to strongly support this causal theory. It would be a stronger argument if the regression had taken into account the racial differences in credit, arrest, and employment state by state, rather than just assuming that this connection is so strong it supports this particular interpretation of the data. However, it is interesting that this variable ways more strongly correlated with the existence of privacy statutes than several other variables of interest. It was probably my own ignorance that made me not consider how strongly privacy statutes are part of a social justice agenda, broadly speaking. Considering that disparities in credit, arrest, and employment history could well be the result of other unjust biases, privacy winds up mitigating the anti-signal that these injustices have in the employment market. In other words, it's not hard to get from Posner's arguments to a pro-privacy position based of all things on market efficiency.
It would be nice to model that more explicitly, if it hasn't been done yet already.
Posner is quite bullish on privacy tort, thinking that it is generally not so offensive from an economic perspective largely because it's about preventing misinformation.
Overall, the paper is a valuable starting point for further study in economics of privacy. Posner's economic lens swiftly and clearly puts the trade-offs around privacy statutes in the light. It's impressively lucid work that surely bears directly on arguments about privacy and information processing systems today.

Q: OO Programming Style - virtual property, constructor parameter or protected setter If I have a base class (MyBase in the example below) that needs subclasses to provide/override a value (Value), is there a preferred way of implementing this?  I can think of several ways of doing it, but don't have much of a feel for why I would choose one over another.  I've got some examples (in C#, but they could be any OO language).
Concrete property in base class - Subclasses can set this value if they wish.
public class MyBase
{
    protected string Value { get; set; }

    protected MyBase()
    {
        Value = "Default Value";
    }

    private DoSomethingWithValue()
    {
         Console.WriteLine(Value);
    }
}

public class MySub : MyBase
{
    public MySub()
    {
        Value = "Overridden Value";
    }
}

Virtual Property - Subclasses can override this if they wish.
public class MyBase
{
    protected virtual string Value { get { return "Default Value"; } }

    protected MyBase()
    {
    }

    private DoSomethingWithValue()
    {
         Console.WriteLine(Value);
    }
}

public class MySub : MyBase
{
    protected override string Value { get { return "Overridden Value"; } }

    public MySub()
    {
    }
}

Property set in base class constructor - Subclasses may provide a value.
public class MyBase
{
    protected string Value { get; private set; }

    protected MyBase(string value)
    {
         Value = value;
    }

    protected MyBase() : this("Default Value")
    {
    }

    private DoSomethingWithValue()
    {
         Console.WriteLine(Value);
    }
}

public class MySub : MyBase
{
    public MySub() : base("Overridden Value")
    {
    }
}

Obviously some of these allow varying the value or computing it dynamically.  However, in the situation that the value is known at compile-time, which way is preferable and why?

A: If the value is known at compile-time for all potential derived classes, why on earth are you making it stored at runtime?
More importantly, it's a total waste to invoke virtual lookup here when you know that they'll all just return "constant";, so I'd go for the concrete property in base.

A: Ignore all the OO gibberish and start off with a simple structure with public data members. This is the least work, simplest to understand, simplest to use, and most powerful. When you better understand the context of use and are sure the class actually represents an abstraction, then apply conservative restrictions and observe carefully where your code breaks (if anywhere).
Unless you have absolute proof backed by decades of heavy mathematics, do not use abstractions initially. You must be totally convinced your abstraction is sound and complete before you isolate the representation from the client. Make sure to state, in assertions or at least comments, the invariants of the representation. If you cannot do this you do not understand enough to create an abstraction.
For example (in C++, sorry):
class Rational {
  int numerator; int denominator;
public:
  Rational (int x, int y) {
    if (y == 0) { throw DivisionByZero; }
    assert (y != 0);
    if (y<0) { x = -x; y = -y; }
    assert (y>0);
    int d = gcd(x,y);
    assert(d>0); // proof, from specs of gcd
    // assert: if there exists an integer q>0 which divides both x/d and y/d
    // then q == 1 (from definition of gcd)

    assert (x % d == 0); // d divides x exactly (from defn of gcd)
    assert (y % d == 0); // d divides y exactly (from defn of gcd)

    numerator = x/d;
    denominator = y/d;

    // assert: provided y != 0, numerator / denominator (math div, not C div)
    // equals input x/ input y (math div, not C div).

    // invariant: denominator > 0, gcd (numerator, denominator) == 1
    // Theorem: representation is unique
  }

  bool eq(Rational other) {
    numerator == other.numerator && denominator == other.denominator;
    // sufficient by uniqueness theorem
  }
}:

In this particular case you should note the computational cost of ensuring the representation invariant is preserved, particularly when implementing, say, addition. Perhaps this isn't a good idea. It all depends on what your interface looks like and how you're going to use it. Preserving the invariant has one useful property computationally, it prevents avoidable overflows on multiplication.
In this case the representation is a standard canonical form, with the following type:
R: int * int - { x,y | y<0 or Exists d. d divides y and d divides x }

It is typical, that a representation consists of a cartesian product minus a subset to produce a set R such that
R <==> A
where A is the abstract type, is a bijection.
My point: it is not so easy to get an abstraction right. Programmers overuse strong abstraction creating devices like classes, particularly in OO languages when they have no idea that, for example, a simple stucture, which is a cartesian product, is already formally abstract (represented by functions, in this case projections).
Repairing a faulty abstraction is a lot more work in terms of adjusting not only the interface of the class, but also every usage thereof, than if you used a simple structure and systematically abstract it in a refactoring phase when you have evidence of what the abstraction really should be.
Yttrill's rule: if you are thinking of an abstraction ..dont!
You need evidence, not thought!
