Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? No, it's Super Mayor! Kevin Faulconer Descends on New York
February 10, 2015 by Doug Porter
Remember the days when San Diego was broke and broken?
Well, fear not citizens, happy days are here again. At least that's the good news message our always-smiling mayor is busy delivering on the east coast this week.
The headline on yesterday afternoon's press release from the Mayor's office reads: "Mayor Faulconer to Share San Diego's Comeback Story with National Media Outlets".
The east coast tour includes three live, nationally broadcast interviews today on CNBC's Squawk Box, the Wall Street Journal Live's Lunch Break and Bloomberg News' Bottom Line along with stories in The New York Times, Bloomberg News, CNN Money and Fortune.
The ostensible purpose of all this media hubbub is to attract new businesses to San Diego. Here's the pitch, via the press release:
From innovations in biotechnology and cyber security, to its unique proximity to Mexico and the Pacific, to a dynamic start-up community, San Diego is rising as a global hub for business, trade and investment. Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer is heading to America's largest media market, New York City, to raise San Diego's national profile as a city that offers entrepreneurs and companies an environment in which they can thrive.
Watch hizzoner bob and weave as the CNBC host tries to get a straightforward statement out of him on government-mandated vaccinations.
Fox 5 San Diego, KUSI, and the Times of San Diego all dutifully promoted Faulconer's east coast journey.
Over at the Reader, Matt Potter saying the Mayor's visit to the Brookings Institute on Thursday represents "opportunities to rub shoulders with certain Democratic representatives of the national establishment."
Two weeks ago Faulconer went to the U.S. mayors' conference in Washington DC, showing up on cable network MSNBC on January 21 to endorse president Barack Obama's call for more taxpayer-funded infrastructure.
"When you look at the backlog of infrastructure, particularly our roads, you look at our bridges," said Faulconer. "I mean, these are vital for commerce, these are vital for our families and obviously to drive around."
Now, according to the website of the Brookings Institution, Faulconer is set to appear with London mayor Boris Johnson on the topic of "Governing Global Cities for Growth and Opportunity."
While I would take serious issue with the characterization of the Brookings Institute as "mostly known for being left of center" (It's a corporate funded think tank, whose output can best be described as centrist), it does appear that Mayor Faulconer is doing a great job of promoting himself (and presumably America's Greatest City) anywhere that will have him.
If you take this grand expedition at face value, the problems of inequality and infrastructure in San Diego will be solved through "trickle down."
Dems Tout AB32 Funding
While the mayor's away, the Democrats will play. Councilman David Alvarez, along with labor leader/school board member Richard Barrera and Chula Vista Mayor Mary Salas held a press conference to tout $2 billion in funding for local projects made possible through California's cap and trade carbon reduction program.
From their press release:
Projects available for funding include low-carbon transit, improving efficiency in existing housing, and construction of affordable housing. Distributed by several state agencies, the funds from this program will be made available through competitive and other grants to local governments, school districts, and transit agencies, among other potential recipients.
All the Publicly Funded News That Fits
San Diego County's CountyNewsCenter.com has raised the hackles of UT-San Diego Watchdog editor Ricky Young.
He's wondering if a touching story about the return of Mark the Cat to a San Carlos family is really a great use of taxpayer funding. Or if we really need a slick video explaining how to park at the county building on Pacific highway.
And I ask again — should county tax dollars go to write feature stories like 'Area family reunited with cat'? http://t.co/B6tkva7oZc

Dave Maass at City Beat wrote about this gussied up county information service back in 2012:
As newsrooms around the country shrink, local governments are finding that the burden of disseminating information—particularly run-of-the-mill public announcements—is falling upon their shoulders.
But, if the county of San Diego's latest mass-communication venture, CountyNewsCenter.com, is indicative of the trend, government won't do it any cheaper than the private sector. A CityBeat analysis of the $114,000 contract for the design of the website indicates that the county paid more for CountyNewsCenter.com than KPBS, Voice of San Diego and CityBeat paid for their sites combined.
CountyNewsCenter.com was launched in September as a separate website from the county's main hub, sdcounty.ca.gov. The site serves as the "digital newsroom" for the county's Communications Office, which operates with a $3.1-million annual budget and 11 full-time communications officers. To the viewer, it looks not unlike any news organization's website, with stories and YouTube videos promoting the county's outreach campaigns and public-relations successes.
I guess we should all look at the bright side of this:
The County didn't name it Ministry of Information
Al those young people with journalism degrees have got to end up somewhere.
The Mystery Money Man from Mexico
Voice of San Diego, which celebrated its 10th anniversary this week with a site redesign, has published athree part series looking at JoséSusumo
via susamoazana.com
Azano Matsura, the man at the center of last year's busts for illegal campaign contributions.
The younger Azano's life is filled with stories that seem stranger than fiction. Wisps of detail about him appear everywhere from Singaporean business registries to the celebrity gossip site TMZ.
Azano and his attorneys have declined numerous interview requests for this series and they didn't answer a written list of questions I provided.
Separating the reality of Azano's life from rumors isn't easy, but a few things are clear: Azano's become a big player in the highly secretive world of international surveillance technology, he likes to show off his money and he's never been far from accusations of fraud and deception.
Do follow the links at the end of the story to parts two and three. There's lots of interesting stuff about local utility company Sempra and politics in Baja California.
Right On, Mike Aguire
Some time back San Diego attorney Mike Aguirre tried to ask then-California Public Utilities Commission president Michael Peevey about what role he might have had in the decision-reaching process over closing down the San Onofre nuclear plant.
His questioning made the news after the CPUC president lost it, shouting at Aguirre to "Shut Up!" and saying he didn't have to "answer your goddamned questions!"
Now comes this news via Don Bauder at the Reader:
This afternoon (February 9), Southern California Edison belatedly filed a document with the California Public Utilities Commission, admitting that the company met secretly with former commission president Michael Peevey.
At the secret meeting, Peevey suggested the framework for the San Onofre settlement that will cost ratepayers $5 billion as a result of the closing of the San Onofre nuclear plant.
Edison said it "respectfully submits this late-filed Notice of Ex Parte Communications." How late? The secret meeting was on March 26, 2013, at the Bristol Hotel in Warsaw, Poland. Peevey met with Edison's executive vice president of external relations, Stephen Pickett.
"The meeting was initiated by Mr. Peevey," revealed Edison. "In the course of the meeting, Mr. Peevey initiated a communication on a framework for a possible resolution" of the then-pending subject of how shareholders of Edison and Sempra, co-owners of the nuclear plant, and ratepayers would split the bill for the closing of the plant. Much later, the CPUC's office of ratepayer advocates, Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric, and the The Utility Reform Network (TURN) came out with the so-called compromise that will cost ratepayers $5 billion.
The FBI raided Peevey's home recently, seizing computers and other documents. The warrant mentioned the San Onofre deal.
There's no word yet on whether we'll be a getting our $5 billion "settlement" negated.
Imperial Beach Mayor Doomed
If newly elected Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina's state of the city speech yesterday was any indication, he'll be facing a trumped-up recall in no time. Not because he's done anything wrong; it's more like he's trying to do things right.
First of all, he rode his bike to the Boys and Girls Club to deliver the speech. Then he advocated for term limits on himself.
Check out these subversive ideas, via UT-San Diego:
Dedina said that while the city accomplished much in 2014, this year will be even better for residents.
"I look forward to being more collaborative, participatory and transparent of how we recruit and select members of citizens advisory boards," he said.
Dedina said he wants to create term limits for the office of mayor, limiting the amount of time a mayor can serve to two terms or eight years.
"I look forward to making Imperial Beach and even better place to live and raise a family and a gold medal example of a transparent, well managed, participatory and inclusive local government," he said.
On This Day: 1897 – "The New York Times" began printing "All the news that's fit to print" on their front page. 1949 – "Death of a Salesman" opened at the Morocco Theatre in New York City. 1963 – Eleven members of the Carpenters' union in Reesor Siding, Northern Ontario are shot, three fatally, by independent local farmer-settlers who were supplying wood to a Spruce Falls Power and Paper Co. plant. Some 400 union members were attempting to block an outbound shipment from the plant. The action came as the company was insisting on a pay freeze and two months of seven-day-a-week work.

Thank you, Doug Porter, for today's extraordinary coverage. You read the local press so I don't have to. You must have a hell of a gas mask.
Geoff Page says
Let's just hope we don't have a male Susan Golding on our hands. She spent more time traveling in style all over the world at our expense promoting what? Herself.
Lori Saldaña says
San Diego mayors have a long history of hosting special events to attract attention and generate support for future political ambitions.
O'Connor hosted a Balboa park pageant, complete with Faberge eggs.
Golding put the city $50 million in the hole by hosting the Republican national convention in 1996. (She worked with the city manager to conceal the full cost associated with hosting the event that started the city down the path of underfunding the pension accounts.)
Sanders had the Balboa park Centennial slush fund.
If/when Faulconer et al exhibit symptoms of wanting to produce or host similar grandiose spectacles, taxpayers need to hold tightly to their wallets and demand full accounting. (Of course we see how quickly the reports are released, as with the Balboa Park Centennial committee.)
I agree with you 100%. Susan Golding should have been prosecuted for what she did to this city, history will show she will go down as the worst of the worst.
John Lawrence says
Mr. Trickle Down is all about getting businesses and entrepreneurs to come to San Diego as if this was the solution for everything. He might better have organized an advisory panel for how to implement infrastructure repairs. Oh he already did that? … organized an advisory panel for a new football stadium that is.
Empty suit, empty suit, empty suit…
Is it any wonder, that the "mayor" of San Diego is forever considered an afterthought – if even that?


"Warn the Duke!" calls the clairvoyant little boy in the musical Ragtime. Those who paid attention in their high school history class know that he's referring to Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hungarian crown, whose assassination in 1914 started World War I. It turns out the story is a little more complicated than that, and Sheep Theater's new play The Assassination of the Archduke of Austria-Hungary Franz Ferdinand tells the story fairly historically accurately (from what Wikipedia tells me, my high school history class being a long time ago), but with modern language and humor. The result is part history lesson, part reflection on the current state of events, part tragedy, and part wacky farce. Judging by the sold out house last night, Sheep Theater (they do "original plays with an emphasis on classically epic stories that highlight the deranged confidence of humanity with sincerity and honesty"), has a loyal following, deservedly so, and might want to consider extending their runs past the usual handful of shows. This one closes tonight, sorry folks! Watch their website and Facebook page for your next opportunity to see this uniquely clever and funny company.
Sheep employs their usual writer/director team - Joey Hamburger (who also plays one of the assassins) and Michael Hugh Torsch (with a small but memorable cameo as Germany's Kaiser Wilhem II). The 90-minute play is bookended by the assassination, and in between we see what led to it and learn a bit about the soon to be murdered Archduke. Basically the Slavic people didn't want to be under Austria-Hungarian control, and a group of Serbians therefore plotted to kill the Archduke on his visit to Sarajevo. The play lays out all of the players and maneuvering in a fairly easy to follow way, mixed with scenes of Franz at home and at work. The two stories converge in Sarajevo for their tragic end.
Although there is much humor and shenanigans, the humanity of the characters is emphasized in such a way that it's hard to know which side to root for. Of course it's not right for the Slavic people to be governed by an outside entity that doesn't have their best interests as heart, but the Archduke seems like a genuinely good guy. As portrayed by the affable Michael Rogers, Franz comes off as a regular, good-natured fellow, one who loves his wife so much that he married her despite the fact that, due to her non-royal lineage, neither she nor their children could inherit his titles. In Sarajevo, he gives a heartfelt speech about the divisiveness within a country that speaks directly to today, which only serves to make his death feel more tragic, however noble the assassins' cause may have been.
As with most political historical stories of war, there aren't a lot of women involved (at least not in the way these stories are usually told). This production remedies that imbalance a bit by casting women in some of the male roles, including Tara Lucchino as the assassin and company member Iris Rose Page as a mailboy/newsboy/intern. Everyone in the strong ensemble really commits to the comic sincerity of the piece. The projections of time and place are helpful, and also sometimes contain a joke. The live musical accompaniment by John Hilsen provides a soundtrack for the story.
Like the other Sheep Theater shows I've seen, Franz Ferdinand is smart, funny, engaging, and relevant. This new-ish company is one to keep your eye on.


One of the most popular places for residents and those in the know on Folly Beach is Bert's Market, located just off of Center Street at 202 Ashley Avenue. Bert's is a 24 hour grocery and convenience store that is known for its "We may doze, but we never close" motto. The store is considered the apex of the island from where everything revolves. People come in to search for lost dogs, ask for directions, socialize with friends, or to purchase casual reading material. Hats, fans, and other handmade sweetgrass items welcome visitors in with an enticing hello as they enter the front door.
The store's personality can be felt as soon as you walk up and see the mural, painted by graffiti artist Douglas Panzone, of Cap'n Bert with a devilish smile on his face and wielding a large hook. The colorful display covers the entire north side of the building, and Bert's likeness reminds you of a rebellious yet friendly pirate, red bandana and all. His welcoming smile greets those who meander up the street with a knowing nod and a virtual wink. When you see the delightful mural, you know you've come to the right place.
When Bert opened the market, his goal was to be as family oriented as possible. As Omar Colon, the current owner and husband to Bert's daughter Julia states, "He always cared about the people, and ran a business that cared about the people." The store still runs under the same guiding principles, as Omar and Julia took over the store on January 1, 2010 and continue to provide consistent service to the construction workers, surfers, children, families and all of those that call Bert's home. Although Bert is not directly involved in the day to day business, he still keeps up with the trends and informs Omar and Julia when bad weather is on the way. His gentle reminder to stock up on batteries, bottled water, candles and flashlights are welcomed by the next generation, as Bert has years of experience in handling these types of extenuating circumstances. Omar and Julia will still go to Bert before making major changes to the store to inquire as to his expertise and advice on the subject.
Even though Bert's has been a staple of the community for so many years, there have also been hard times. Omar divulges that in the summer of 2012, the city wide ban of alcohol on the beach affected their bottom line. "We have (since) bounced back. The effects (then) were immediate surrounding the ban, and the relevance of it was that it was the middle of the summer when they all but cut off the normal stream of people from coming to the island," he says. Noting that they were able to bounce back, he also has shown concern for other businesses who did not have a backup plan in place. Thankfully for all of us, Bert's did find a way to overcome the diminished business during that unfortunate time.
City employees, retirees and young adults come in throughout the day to pick up yummy sandwiches, hot dogs and corndogs from the deli. Salads and specialty snacks are made daily and include organic ingredients. Southern style boiled peanuts are a tasty treat with their salty juicy goodness available by the cup. Employees make chili daily for the hot dogs, and the locals eat it up for just .79 cents a dog.
Everyone is welcome at Bert's, and middle of the night beer runs are common. With growlers available and a huge selection of bottled or canned beer, Bert's is a great place to stock up on adult beverages. They also have a lovely selection of wines for connoisseurs to choose their favorite grape varietal. Above the aisles, there are dozens of tap heads used to pour favorites from the draught beer bar. For those who enjoy tasting different styles of beer, there is no better place to try new and tantalizing ales/pilsners/lagers than the Market.
A nice cigar selection sits beside the wine section, and those who enjoy a nice puff of a wine dipped stogie can pair up their favorite flavors. Cigars from Montecristo, Gold Honey, Bella Vanilla cigarellos, and Estilo Cubanos are a small sample of the choices available. Combine these with one of the lovely bottles of vino in the well stocked cabinet, and you've made a cigar and wine afficionado's dream come true.
Bert's grocery section comprises of commonly needed fridge and freezer items, such as milk or eggs and ice creams. One can simply stop by the market to pick up fresh veggies from their organic produce section, or stop by the dry food aisles to get sugar, canned meats, cereals and more. The store has a little bit of everything for hungry visitors to choose from, and don't forget the store is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! It's virtually impossible not to find what you need at Bert's Market. It will soon become your favorite place too.
They have some killer spicy boiled p-nuts to go with all of that cold beer, too!

Our religious education program presents the central doctrines of the Catholic faith in keeping with the norms set by the National Catechetical Directory and in accordance with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. St. Ferdinand is an apprenticeship in Christian living that provides a complete formation in the Christian life through teaching the message of the Gospel, participating in the life of the community, developing a spiritual life of prayer and worship and reaching out in service to others, especially the poor. The school is deeply committed to living Christ-like by showing daily compassion, understanding, love, support and concern as Catholics.
As parish school, students are fully prepared to enter into celebration of sacraments of Reconciliation, Communion, and Confirmation. For all Sacramental Programs, there is a prerequisite of at least one year of religious education in a Catholic school or religious education program prior to the Sacramental preparation year.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation, often called "Confession," is the sacrament in which Christ forgives us our sins and reconciles us to God and our fellow Christians. First Reconciliation is celebrated in second grade in the month of May.
The Sacrament of the First Eucharist is received in the second grade. It is celebrated in May. In preparation for this sacrament, students, along with their parents, are required to attend weekly Sunday Masses. Parents must also attend meetings relative to this program. The preparation of the children is a concerted effort between the Director of Religious Education, Ms. Beata Bosak, and the second-grade teachers.
Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is a process that begins during the candidate's seventh grade year and ends in the fall of the eighth grade year.
Once enrolled, the candidate must fulfill two basic requirements in addition to continued participation in a Catholic school or religious education program.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
Participate at weekly Sunday Mass throughout the duration of the program
Take part in service hours
Required religious documents must be furnished for both candidates and their sponsors. Any inquiries regarding the Sacramental Program and their requirements must be directed to Director of Religious Education Beata Bosak, at 773-622-3022 ext. 366.

Q: Why multi dim array içn c return me an error I have a probleme with my code. My application return me and error when I run it.
my code
    #include <errno.h>

#undef _POSIX_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include "ini.h"

    char lines [255][255];
    char **tokens;
    static const char filename[] = "../../conf/incoming_files_description.ini";
    FILE *file = fopen( filename, "r" );
    if ( file != NULL )
    {
        char line[256];
        while (fgets(line, sizeof line, file) != NULL)
        {
            i++;
            if(i>6) //afficher a partir de la ligne 7
            {
                printf("\n");
                tokens = str_split(line, ';');
                for (j = 0; j<5; j++ )
                {
                lines [i-6][j] = "bonjour";
                printf("%s", lines [1][1]);
                printf("test: %s\n", *(tokens + j));
                free(*(tokens + j));
                }
            }
        }

        fclose (file);
    }
    else
    {
        perror(filename);
    }
}

i have a prolem in this line
                    printf("%s", lines [1][1]);
when he have valor in lines he return error thx

A: lines [i-6][j] = "bonjour";

Actually puts the pointer to the string "bonjour" into the buffer. You are probably wanting to use the strcpy() function to actually copy the string into the buffer. In this particular case you would therefore use
strcpy(dest, src);

which in this case is
strcpy(lines[i-6], "bonjour"]

That is the first dimension of lines points to the start of the second dimension which will contain the string. In this case i == 7 so i-6 == 1.
If you want the b of bonjour to go into lines[1][1], then you would need to specify &(lines[1][1]) which points to the address on that location in the buffer.
printf("%s", lines [1][1]);

Once you copy the string into the buffer you want to pass the pointer to the start of the string in the buffer. Since you would have used strcpy(), then you can print the entire string.
printf("%s", lines[1]);

Note that lines[1][1] contains the o of bonjour because C uses 0 based indexing unless you made the dest parameter of strcpy() point to the second element of lines[1].

A Quick Detour To Your Team
So let's take a quick detour and talk about your team or those you're trying to sell your story to. The fact is you're not going to convince everyone, nor are you going to convince anyone all the time. People have different, competing concepts and differing abilities to imagine scenarios, scenes or ideas. You can't account for all those possibilities. What you can do is use these tools to simplify and clarify for yourself. Then you'll be able to better present your case and argue it.
The Storyboard
Storyboards are essentially comics strips that are quickly drawn and have minimal details that help tell and visualize a story. If you've watched a making of documentary for most movies you'll probably see some storyboards.
Some works, like Mad Max Fury Road, started as storyboards. It's only later that an actual script was written based upon them. That's not always the way to go as was the case with Aliens 3. But it is an excellent way to convey the action of a story or scene. And for games it's no different especially when you're talking mechanics.
But a storyboard takes an artist, or at least some level of skill so readily convey your intent. I've found storyboards to be quite useful and to make sure I and any artist I'm working with are on the same page I recommend "Professional Storyboarding: Rules of Thumb: by Sergio Paez and Anson Jew. It provides a lot of great examples of how to draw different scenes and the language used for talking about them. And if you have that shared terminology it makes creating storyboards that much easier.
There's an additional level you can take the storyboard to if you are so inclined.
The Colorscript
Popularized by Pixar, it's essentially taking the storyboard and adding a color palette to it. All in order to demonstrate how the color changes over the course of a scene or story and thus affects and reflects the mood or themes. It's also a great way of ensuring that things aren't being repeated too often and thus become boring.
Of course if you don't have an artist, the skill, or the time to create a storyboard or color script you can simply provide references. Though I wouldn't recommend just putting all of your images on single poster if you're trying to present a story. Rather tell that story with those images by putting them in an order that makes sense, so you can present it to someone and not have to talk them through it.
The Story Map
Or as I sometimes call it the story breakdown tool. I don't have a good name for it and I keep forgetting what others have called it. But it's a combination of all of the previous tools in an easy to reference manner. It's been used by the likes of thatgamecompany to make Journey. The photo of which is courtesy of @iamleyeti.
Even Cory Barlog, the creative director of God of War, uses a similar tool for mapping out the game. And I know Gregory Louden from Convict Games does something similar. Even Brooke Mags when working on The Gardens Between developed such a thing.
All of these maps or breakdown tools have a number of things in common. They include the major areas visited in the game, the characters, the events of each area, the mood or themes for each section, and more. The amount of detail you provide in the breakdown is up to you and your role.
As you can see from my own work on A Giant Problem, as writer and game designer I've picked and chosen what elements to use from other's own tools. Like most of them I've laid it out in a linear format representing the campaign as played, the areas the player traverses, what new mechanics or skills they gain in those areas, and of course the story beats.
My expanded version includes reference photos, color scripts and even elevation of the environments all in an attempt to tie together the story, it's arc and the general game as well as level design.
And if you've listened to an episode before then you've heard me mention The Story Grid. The actual grid, as defined in the book of the same name, does this very thing for novels. It gets you to plan out what happens and how it relates to everything else happening in your story. So it's readily transferrable to other storytelling mediums like games.
The Prototype
If none of these tools are to your liking or you don't find them helpful with your team, you can always prototype your story or game.
I recommend using either Twine or Ink for game story prototyping as both are relatively easy to learn and could even be implemented as part of the real game. If that doesn't work then you can always just write the story and ask others to read it.
But hopefully an elevator pitch, outline, synopsis, storyboard, colorscript, references or story map will be of use.

Akira-Inspired Mixtapes, Tallinn Music Week & New In McQ
A curated selection of the coolest cultural goings-on this week.
1. Canadian producer Bwana this week released a mixtape of new music inspired by iconic '80s sci-fi animation Akira. The mixtape, entitled Capsule's Pride, is accompanied by a page full of stunning monochrome graphics and is free to download in exchange for just your email address over at LuckyMe.
2. Starting yesterday (31st March) at London's Jewish Museum is an intriguing new exhibition tracing a revolution in menswear from the 19th century right through to the luxury boutiques and mod culture of the swinging '60s. Moses, Mods and Mr. Fish runs until 19th June and you can find more information about the exhibition on the Jewish Museum London's official website.3. Six weeks after releasing The Life of Pablo in Madison Square Garden, Kanye West has already begun reworking some of the tracks and has dropped a new gospel-heavy version of the album's opening track, 'Ultralight Beam', on Soundcloud. Listen to the track, newly titled as 'Ultralight Prayer', here.

Decidability (logic)
Title: Decidability (logic)
Subject: Alfred Tarski, Decision problem, Presburger arithmetic, Satisfiability, General set theory
Collection: Concepts in Logic, Metalogic, Proof Theory
In logic, the term decidable refers to the decision problem, the question of the existence of an effective method for determining membership in a set of formulas, or, more precisely, an algorithm that can and will return a Boolean true or false value (instead of looping indefinitely). Logical systems such as propositional logic are decidable if membership in their set of logically valid formulas (or theorems) can be effectively determined. A theory (set of sentences closed under logical consequence) in a fixed logical system is decidable if there is an effective method for determining whether arbitrary formulas are included in the theory. Many important problems are undecidable, that is, it has been proven that no effective method can exist for them.

Relationship to computability
As with the concept of a decidable set, the definition of a decidable theory or logical system can be given either in terms of effective methods or in terms of computable functions. These are generally considered equivalent per Church's thesis. Indeed, the proof that a logical system or theory is undecidable will use the formal definition of computability to show that an appropriate set is not a decidable set, and then invoke Church's thesis to show that the theory or logical system is not decidable by any effective method (Enderton 2001, pp. 206ff.).
Decidability of a logical system
Each logical system comes with both a syntactic component, which among other things determines the notion of provability, and a semantic component, which determines the notion of logical validity. The logically valid formulas of a system are sometimes called the theorems of the system, especially in the context of first-order logic where Gödel's completeness theorem establishes the equivalence of semantic and syntactic consequence. In other settings, such as linear logic, the syntactic consequence (provability) relation may be used to define the theorems of a system.
A logical system is decidable if there is an effective method for determining whether arbitrary formulas are theorems of the logical system. For example, propositional logic is decidable, because the truth-table method can be used to determine whether an arbitrary propositional formula is logically valid.
First-order logic is not decidable in general; in particular, the set of logical validities in any signature that includes equality and at least one other predicate with two or more arguments is not decidable.[1] Logical systems extending first-order logic, such as second-order logic and type theory, are also undecidable.
The validities of monadic predicate calculus with identity are decidable, however. This system is first-order logic restricted to signatures that have no function symbols and whose relation symbols other than equality never take more than one argument.
Some logical systems are not adequately represented by the set of theorems alone. (For example, Kleene's logic has no theorems at all.) In such cases, alternative definitions of decidability of a logical system are often used, which ask for an effective method for determining something more general than just validity of formulas; for instance, validity of sequents, or the consequence relation {(Г, A) | Г ⊧ A} of the logic.
Decidability of a theory
A theory is a set of formulas, which here is assumed to be closed under logical consequence. The question of decidability for a theory is whether there is an effective procedure that, given an arbitrary formula in the signature of the theory, decides whether the formula is a member of the theory or not. This problem arises naturally when a theory is defined as the set of logical consequences of a fixed set of axioms. Examples of decidable first-order theories include the theory of real closed fields, and Presburger arithmetic, while the theory of groups and Robinson arithmetic are examples of undecidable theories.
There are several basic results about decidability of theories. Every inconsistent theory is decidable, as every formula in the signature of the theory will be a logical consequence of, and thus member of, the theory. Every complete recursively enumerable first-order theory is decidable. An extension of a decidable theory may not be decidable. For example, there are undecidable theories in propositional logic, although the set of validities (the smallest theory) is decidable.
A consistent theory that has the property that every consistent extension is undecidable is said to be essentially undecidable. In fact, every consistent extension will be essentially undecidable. The theory of fields is undecidable but not essentially undecidable. Robinson arithmetic is known to be essentially undecidable, and thus every consistent theory that includes or interprets Robinson arithmetic is also (essentially) undecidable.
Some decidable theories
Some decidable theories include (Monk 1976, p. 234):
The set of first-order logical validities in the signature with only equality, established by Leopold Löwenheim in 1915.
The set of first-order logical validities in a signature with equality and one unary function, established by Ehrenfeucht in 1959.
The first-order theory of the integers in the signature with equality and addition, also called Presburger arithmetic. The completeness was established by Mojżesz Presburger in 1929.
The first-order theory of Boolean algebras, established by Alfred Tarski in 1949.
The first-order theory of algebraically closed fields of a given characteristic, established by Tarski in 1949.
The first-order theory of real-closed ordered fields, established by Tarski in 1949 (see also Tarski's exponential function problem).
The first-order theory of Euclidean geometry, established by Tarski in 1949.
The first-order theory of hyperbolic geometry, established by Schwabhäuser in 1959.
Specific decidable sublanguages of set theory investigated in the 1980s through today.(Cantone et al., 2001)
Methods used to establish decidability include quantifier elimination, model completeness, and Vaught's test.
Some undecidable theories
Some undecidable theories include (Monk 1976, p. 279):
The set of logical validities in any first-order signature with equality and either: a relation symbol of arity no less than 2, or two unary function symbols, or one function symbol of arity no less than 2, established by Trakhtenbrot in 1953.
The first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition, multiplication, and equality, established by Tarski and Andrzej Mostowski in 1949.
The first-order theory of the rational numbers with addition, multiplication, and equality, established by Julia Robinson in 1949.
The first-order theory of groups, established by Alfred Tarski in 1953.[2] Remarkably, not only the general theory of groups is undecidable, but also several more specific theories, for example (as established by Mal'cev 1961) the theory of finite groups. Mal'cev also established that the theory of semigroups and the theory of rings are undecidable. Robinson established in 1949 that the theory of fields is undecidable.
Robinson arithmetic (and therefore any consistent extension, such as Peano arithmetic) is essentially undecidable, as established by Raphael Robinson in 1950.
The interpretability method is often used to establish undecidability of theories. If an essentially undecidable theory T is interpretable in a consistent theory S, then S is also essentially undecidable. This is closely related to the concept of a many-one reduction in computability theory.
Semidecidability
A property of a theory or logical system weaker than decidability is semidecidability. A theory is semidecidable if there is an effective method which, given an arbitrary formula, will always tell correctly when the formula is in the theory, but may give either a negative answer or no answer at all when the formula is not in the theory. A logical system is semidecidable if there is an effective method for generating theorems (and only theorems) such that every theorem will eventually be generated. This is different from decidability because in a semidecidable system there may be no effective procedure for checking that a formula is not a theorem.
Every decidable theory or logical system is semidecidable, but in general the converse is not true; a theory is decidable if and only if both it and its complement are semi-decidable. For example, the set of logical validities V of first-order logic is semi-decidable, but not decidable. In this case, it is because there is no effective method for determining for an arbitrary formula A whether A is not in V. Similarly, the set of logical consequences of any recursively enumerable set of first-order axioms is semidecidable. Many of the examples of undecidable first-order theories given above are of this form.
Relationship with completeness
Decidability should not be confused with completeness. For example, the theory of algebraically closed fields is decidable but incomplete, whereas the set of all true first-order statements about nonnegative integers in the language with + and × is complete but undecidable. Unfortunately, as a terminological ambiguity, the term "undecidable statement" is sometimes used as a synonym for independent statement.

Q: Start Azure Databricks clusters during business hours I realize a Databricks cluster has a timeout, meaning after N minutes it will turn the cluster off. Here's a sample.

As nice as this feature is, though, it is not what we need. Our team works from 8AM to 6PM on weekdays. We want the cluster to would auto-start at 8AM, stay "always on" during working hours, THEN timeout after, say, 6PM. Make sense?
Q: Is this possible?

A: You can do everything inside the Databricks by scheduling some small job on the existing cluster.  In this case, if cluster is stopped, then it will be started for execution of the job, and will stay until the auto-termination feature will kick-in (I would recommend to use 65-70 minutes as auto-termination setting to balance costs). You can create a notebook with something like
display(spark.range(1))

and schedule it for execution on selected cluster.  To keep cluster running during the work hours, you need schedule the job to run periodically.  This could be done with following cron expression (see Quartz docs for reference):
* 0 8-17 * * MON-FRI

P.S. Really, it should be maybe * 55 7-16 * * MON-FRI, to start 5 minutes before 8AM.

A:
Yes, it possible to start the databricks cluster as per your team works from 8AM to 6PM on weekdays using Azure Automation.

To start at 8 AM you can use PowerShell runbook in Azure Automation to start your cluster as per the scheduled time as shown below:

PowerShell runbook should be as shown below:
$accessToken = "<Personal_Access_Token>"
$apiUrl = "<Azure_Databricks_Endpoint_URL>"
Set-DatabricksEnvironment -AccessToken $accessToken -ApiRootUrl $apiUrl
Start-DatabricksCluster -ClusterID "<Cluster_ID>"

To stop at 6 PM you can set the property Terminate after 600 minutes of inactivity.
Note: If your Business Hours (8AM to 6PM which means 10 Hours x 60 minutes) you can set the property Terminate after 600 minutes of inactivity as shown below:

This Tutorial: Start Azure Databricks clusters during business hours walks you through the creation of a PowerShell Workflow runbook to start Azure Databricks clusters during business hours in Azure Automation.

A: Unfortunately, It is not possible.
However, You can opt out of auto termination by clearing the Auto Termination checkbox or by specifying an inactivity period of 0.

A family of viruses that Ebola belongs to may have existed over 20 million years ago, according to a new study published in the journal PeerJ.
The study focused not on Ebola specifically, but the ancestors and family of Ebola to better understand where it may have come from. Both the Ebola virus and Marburg virus — also a hemorrhagic fever virus that belongs to the Filoviridae family — were found to be tied to ancient evolutionary lines, and they shared a common ancestor 16 to 23 million years ago. The authors discovered this by examining viral fossil genes, which are bits of genetic material that animals acquire from viruses during infection. They found Filovirus-like genes in rodents, particularly hamsters and voles, which means that the filovirus family is likely as old as these rodents' common ancestor. The genetic material in these fossils were more closely related to Ebola than Marburg, meaning the two lines had already begun to diverge during the Miocene Epoch, a time period that occurred five to 23 million years ago. During this time, there were also warmer climates, as well as the first appearances of kelp forests and grasslands on Earth.
The Filoviridae family is defined by viruses that form virions, or filamentous infectious viral particles. The Ebola virus and Marburg virus are the most well-known among this group, and they are both severe viruses that cause hemorrhagic fevers in both animals and humans (essentially, they're deadly diseases that lead to fever and bleeding).

Power distribution configurations with three 3-phase hot power lines
By Edvard | June, 1st 2016 | 8 comments | Save to PDF
Home / Technical Articles / Power distribution configurations with three 3-phase hot power lines
Power leaves the substation on three, three-phase "hot" power lines that are strung adjacent to highways or along local roads to points of use. All three phases share a single neutral line and have the same voltage, but they are 120 electrical degrees out of phase with each other.
Power distribution configurations with three three-phase hot power lines (photo credit: Matt Alsup via Flickr)
The local electrical utility usually decides where the three-phase and single-phase services are to be located in the area that it serves.
Initially dispatched as three phases, the phase lines are separated to feed different localities. The three-phase service for industrial and large commercial customers is separated from the single-phase lines for serving residential, small business, and rural customers.
The nominal 120/240 V power is obtained from transformers strategically located on poles for overhead service and above ground on concrete pads or in underground protective vaults for underground service.
Large electrical appliances such as ranges, water heaters, clothes dryers, and air conditioners typically require 240 V, while 120 V meets the needs for lighting, small appliances, TVs, personal computers, and convenience outlets.
240V distribution pole-mounted transformer (photo credit: Wikipedia)
However, when residences are located in an area served by a 208Y/120 V distributed secondary network, large appliances are powered by 208 V, but lighting, small appliances, entertainment electronics, and outlets are supplied with 120 V.
Common power service
Secondary circuits provide electrical power in various forms to satisfy customer demand. These include following:
Single-phase, three-wire, 120/240 V
Three-phase, four-wire, 120/208 V wye-connected
Three-phase, four-wire 120/240 V delta-connected
The most common distribution wiring configuration for homes, small businesses, and farms is 120/240 V, single-phase service.
Figure 1 – Secondary of a single-phase transformer provides 240 V across A and B and 120 V across either A or B and the neutral
Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a distribution transformer for 120/240 V single-phase service. The 240 V is obtained by making connections between the two ungrounded "hot" conductors, and the 120 V is obtained by making connections between either of the two "hot" ungrounded conductors and the neutral (grounded) conductor.
Go back to Configurations ↑
Different voltages can be obtained with three-phase, four-wire, 120/208-V wye-connected service, as illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2 – A wye-connected, three-phase, four-wire secondary transformer can provide 120- and 208-V AC electric service
The terminal points of the three windings of a wye-connected transformer are designated A, B, and C. The voltage between any of the points A, B, and C and the neutral (grounded) conductor is 120 V, and the voltage between any two of the points A to B, B to C, or C to A is 208 V.
This 208 V is the product of the voltage between any phase and neutral (120 V) and the square root of 3 or 1.732 (120V x 1.732 = 208V).
Therefore,the following voltages can be obtained from the wye-connected system:
120 V, single-phase, two-wire (A to neutral, B to neutral, and C to neutral)
208 V, single-phase, two-wire (A to B, B to C, and C to A)
208 V, three-phase, three-wire
120/208 V, three-phase, four-wire
Another popular wye-connected three-phase, four-wire system is rated at 277/489 V. Feeder and branch circuits connected to this supply can provide:
277 V, single phase, two-wire
480 V, single-phase, two-wire
A different set of output voltages can be obtained with the three-phase, four-wire delta-connected transformer secondary as shown in the schematic Figure 2.
The three windings are connected in series to form an equilateral triangle or Greek letter ∆. Each of the vertices of the triangle is designated by a letter, A, B, or C, representing one of the three phases that feed the network. The midpoint of the winding between vertices B and C is grounded at neutral point N.
The voltage between any two vertices A to B, B to C, and C to A is 240 V. However, the voltage between B and neutral and C and neutral is 120 V, while the voltage between A and neutral is 208 V.
This 208 V is obtained by multiplying the 120 V between either C or B and neutral by the square root of 3 or 1.732 (120 V x 1.732 = 207.84, rounded off to 208 V).
Therefore, the following voltages can be obtained from the delta-connected system:
120 V, single-phase, two-wire (B to neutral and C to neutral)
Figure 3 – A delta-connected, three-phase, four-wire secondary transformer can provide three output voltages: 120, 208, and 240 V AC
Caution is required when making connections to a three-phase, four-wire trans- former secondary because of the potential damage that can be caused by accidentally connecting the "high-leg". A to neutral voltage where the lower voltage is desired.
NEC, Section 110.15, "Means of Identifying Conductor with the Higher Voltage to Ground," states:
"On a 4-wire, delta-connected secondary where the midpoint of one phase winding is grounded to supply lighting and similar loads, the phase conductor having the higher voltage to ground shall be identified by an outer (insulation) finish that is orange in color or by tagging (or taping) or other effective means."
The intent of this NEC precautionary requirement is prevent any connections from being made accidentally between A and ground and getting 208 V when the intent was to obtain 120 V from either B or C to ground. Thus the wire from A to ground would have orange insulation or be marked with orange tape or an orange tag.

You said "Power leaves the substation on three, three-phase "hot" power lines that are strung adjacent to highways or along local roads to points of use. All three phases share a single neutral line and have the same voltage, but they are 120 electrical degrees out of phase with each other."
But what is the mechanism that we use to make the phases 120 degree out of phase ith each other. How is that Just by simply connecting in star and delta we are able to get that?
Is there any special circuitry that makes them out of phase with each other like using triacs or diacs etc.?

I concure with Renee that figure 3 is wrong and misleading. As it is drawn A to C phase should be 240V and A to neutral is 208V.

I request to know whether its possible to run a 240Vac 60Hz 3 phase motor on a single phase 50Hz 240Vac power supply by using a single phase to 3 phase variable speed drive.

It is not stated where (which country) this installation practice might apply – certainly NOT in Australia, and in particular where it implies that dual voltages are provided for domestic applications (High power, low power) which appears to be possibly quite a dangerous situation.

There is an error in Figure 3.
A 208 v potential is incorrectly labeled as 240.
Figure 3 is labelled correctly. The "wild" Leg of the delta 4 wire connection is 208 volt from the neutral to hot.
