A tour-de-force by rising indy comics star Gene Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student at his new school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny's life with his yearly visits. Their lives and stories come together with an unexpected twist in this action-packed modern fable. American Born Chinese is an amazing ride, all the way up to the astonishing climax.

Jehovah's Witnesses Violate their own Translation Rule.
The Jehovah's Witnesses have their own translation of the Bible which is called New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. In this translation the New Testament word "Lord" (kurios) is translated "Jehovah" 237 times. One example would be Luke 2:22-24, "...they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to Jehovah, just as it is written in Jehovah's law, 'Every male opening a womb must be called holy to Jehovah,' and to offer sacrifice according to what is said in the law of Jehovah..." (New World Translation).
On the other hand, when the word "Lord" refers to Jesus Christ they are very careful never to translate it by the name Jehovah because they deny that Jesus is Jehovah. They deny His full deity, and they rightly understand that the name "Jehovah" can refer to none but God alone. Here are two examples where they do not translate "Lord" as "Jehovah" for reasons that are obvious: "...nobody can say: 'Jesus is Lord!' except by holy spirit" (New World Translation of 1 Cor. 12:3). "For if you publicly declare...that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved" (New World Translation of Rom. 10:9). They refuse to acknowledge that Jesus is Jehovah! Such an admission would destroy their whole system of theology.
One of their rules of translation involves places where the New Testament quotes from the Old Testament. Here is their rule: "In places where the Christian Greek Scripture writers quote the earlier Hebrew Scriptures, the translator has the right to render the word κυριος (kurios) as 'Jehovah' wherever the divine name appeared in the Hebrew original." [This rule is found in an official Watchtower publication entitled, The Divine Name That Will endure Forever (1984), pages 26-27]. In other words, if the New Testament is quoting from the Old Testament and if the Old Testament passage used the Hebrew name "Jehovah" then the New Testament quotation should also use the name "Jehovah." An example of this is found in Romans 10:13 which is a quotation of Joel 2:32 where the name "Jehovah" is found: "And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD (Jehovah) shall be delivered" (Joel 2:32,KJV). "And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe" (New World Translation of Joel 2:32). Since the Old Testament passage contained "Jehovah" so should the New Testament quote: "Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved" (New World Translation of Romans 10:13). In this case they faithfully followed their own rule.
These verses are based on Isaiah 45:23 even though this Old Testament passage is not quoted word for word. There is no question that Paul had this passage in mind. In Isaiah 45:23 it is JEHOVAH GOD who is speaking (see the context in verses 21-22): "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear" (Isa. 45:23 KJV). This verse teaches that "UNTO ME" (unto Jehovah, the one true God) every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Paul in Philippians 2:10-11 declares that it is at the name of Jesus that every knee should bow and every tongue should confess.
Isaiah said that every knee would bow to Jehovah God. Paul, referring to this same passage in Isaiah, said that every knee would bow to Jesus Christ.
Paul said in verse 11 that every tongue will someday confess that Jesus is Lord (kurios), that is, everyone will someday acknowledge that Jesus is Jehovah, the true and living and only God! But Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to translate "Lord" as "Jehovah" even though it is obvious that Jehovah is the One referred to in the context of Isaiah 45:23. The New World Translation renders it this way: "and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." This Bible Translation is eager to translate "Lord" by the name "Jehovah" whenever possible (237 times in the N.T.), but in this case they cannot do it because it would force them to acknowledge that Jesus is Jehovah.
There is another place in the New Testament where Paul quotes from Isaiah 45:23. It is found in Romans 14:11, "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God" (Rom. 14:11 KJV, emphasis mine). Notice how the Jehovah's Witnesses translate this passage: "for it is written: 'As I live,' says Jehovah, 'to me every knee will bend down, and every tongue will make open acknowledgment to God.'" (New World Translation of Rom. 14:11, emphasis mine). By using Jehovah in their translation of Rom. 14:11 the Jehovah's Witnesses are acknowledging that the Isaiah 45:23 passage does indeed refer to Jehovah God. But when Paul in Philippians 2:11 refers Isaiah 45:23 to Christ, they refuse to translate "Lord" as "Jehovah." In this case following their own rule would result in a translation that would destroy the very foundation of their cult. Their faith is based on the faulty foundation of a defective and blasphemous view of Christ, that Christ is a mere creature (an exalted angel) and not the Creator-God. They deny the eternal deity and the eternal Sonship of our Lord and Saviour. They deny that the name "Jehovah" ever applies to Him.
"If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious" (1 Peter 2:3).
Bible scholars agree that Peter was borrowing from the language of Psalm 34:8 – "Oh taste and see that the LORD (Jehovah) is good" (KJV). Those familiar with Greek can compare the Septuagint translation of Psalm 34:8 with the Greek of 1 Peter 2:3 and they will find that the language used is nearly identical. For example, the word for "good" or "gracious" is the same Greek word: "chrēstos." The Psalmist gave the invitation: "Oh taste and see that the LORD is good (gracious)." Peter's point was this (to paraphrase him): "If you have really tasted that the Lord is good (v.3) then you will desire His Word (v.2)."
Remember the translation rule that the Jehovah's Witnesses claim to follow: If the divine name appears in the Hebrew original (and it does appear in Psalm 34:8), then the translator has the right to render the word "kurios" as Jehovah. But in their translation of 1 Peter 2:3 they violate their own rule: "provided you have tasted that the Lord is kind" (1 Pet. 2:3 New World Translation). Why did they fail to translate "Lord" (kurios) as "Jehovah"? This is another case where they have chosen not to follow their own rule because the following verses (verses 4-6) make it clear that Peter was referring to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Jehovah's Witnesses do not want anyone to think that Jesus is Jehovah. They must break their own rule or else they would be denying their own doctrine by calling Christ "Jehovah" and thus affirming His full deity.


'Hugo' has provided evidence from 2001 which has now been verified in print.
Bromance refers to an affectionate but non-sexual relationship between two men and OED editors are currently researching the term, with an intention to publish in a future update. Various claims have been made for the word's first use.
One was that it appeared in a 1990s skateboarding magazine Big Brother, but we contacted the editor and so far we haven't been able to confirm the reference.
So far, the earliest definitive evidence we have found is from the Albuquerque Journal of February 2004, but anecdotal evidence suggests it dates from before this date.
Can you find any printed examples before February 2004?

Valentine's Day is always rife with complainers, and I used to be one of those many people until I read this (contains swearing and suggestive content in hilarious cartoon form), so today I figured I would take a step in another direction with the power of learning!
This post brought to you by Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge.
In many countries Valentine's Day is seen as kitsch and celebrated about as heartily as we celebrate Lincoln's birthday.
We celebrate heartily by growing beards and throwing pennies at people who don't wear stovepipe hats.
In others they celebrate it as we do, or have their own holiday.
A foreign tradition I'm familiar with (off the top of my head without any research) is that in Japan it is actually women who present chocolate to men on Valentine's Day (they can also give gifts of chocolate to friends, usually other girls). Only recently has there been invented White Day, a day that men provide gifts to women in return for their giving on Valentine's Day.
I'm also familiar with Ostara, which seems to be a combination of Easter and Valentine's Day, but let's go even further back than that.
The furthest back I can find would be Lupercalia, done on Feburary 13 through 15 when people try to ward off evil and promote health and fertility (I'm way narrowing this down as a description, so I suggest reading about it rather than going by my word). This holiday has connections with wolves, it being translated to "Wolf Festival" pretty much literally, and satyrs. There appears to be some dog and goat sacrifices, as well as lashings from whips to promote fertility in women, so I can understand why it fell out of favor.
Then again, I think the whole fertility-lashing might be making a comeback.
Here's my thoughts after all of this, I think Valentine's Day could use a major overhaul using a lot of other people's traditions. Men get enough grief about gift-giving during Mother's day, birthdays, and anniversaries, so let's adopt the Eastern tradition of women giving chocolate to men. While we're at it, we'll go ahead and throw in the fun parts of Lupercalia and have people dress up in furs, and instead of wasting a whole goat, we'll have a delicious chevon barbecue. We can't stop there though, there's too much cutesy-bordering-on-creepy imagery.
How about the wolves and satyrs instead?
I was too scared to type in "satyr chocolate."
I think we'd have a lot fewer complainers, then.

Mikołaj I von Tecklenburg (niem. Nikolaus I.) (ur. w 1300 r.; zm. w 1368 r.) – pierwszy hrabia Tecklenburga z dynastii Schwerin.

Życiorys

Dzieciństwo
Mikołaj urodził się w Wittenburgu jako syn Guncelina VI, hrabiego Schwerin-Wittenburg i jego żony Ryszardy Tecklenburskiej, córki Ottona IV, hrabiego Tecklenburga.

Dziedzictwo
W 1328 r. na Ottonie V wymarła dynastia Bentheim-Tecklenburg. Zgodnie z prawem salickim władza przeszła na potomstwo siostry zmarłego władcy, a więc na Mikołaja. Został on założycielem nowej dynastii Tecklenburg-Schwerin. Z racji, że Mikołaj nie był jeszcze w wieku sprawnym, do 1330 r. władzę jako regent sprawował Adolf von der Mark.

Władza
Po objęciu pełni władzy wszedł w konflikt z rycerzem Hermanem z Cappel, który zbudował zamek bez zgody nowego hrabiego. Walczył również z Fryzją w celu poszerzenia granic państwa. W 1333 r. zawarł sojusz z biskupem Munster Ludwikiem, Adolfem von der Mark, Bernardem von Ravensburg, Simonem von Lippe oraz Ottonem Lippe przeciwko rodowi von Korffów. W 1335 r. zajął Hümmling.

W latach 1348 i 1352 Tecklenburg nawiedziła pandemia czarnej śmierci. Wskutek panującego chaosu, Mikołaj utracił część ziem na rzecz Osnabrücka. Za porozumieniem z synem zrzekł się praw do tronu Schwerinu na rzecz Albrechta i Henryka Meklemburgów. Około 1366 r. nadał Bevergern prawa miejskie.

Życie prywatne
Był dwukrotnie żonaty. Pierwszy raz z Heleną Oldenburg, z którą miał dwoje dzieci: syna Ottona i córkę Rychezę. Z drugiego małżeństwa, z hrabianką Diehpolz nie miał dzieci.

Are ordinal or cardinal infinities theories for real?
There are a number of notions of infinity in mathematics that are respectable. One of the first is 'the point at infinity' to the line or plane; but one can argue that this is a spurious infinity as in another perspective this simply closes up the line to make a circle; and the plane to make the surface of a sphere.
In mathematics this construction is called 'compactification'; as the spherical surface is 'compact' in a way that the infinitely extensive plane is not.
Do the ordinal infinities or cardinal infinities allow a similar perspective?
*. It 'looks' possible to embed the long line into the Hilbert cube; which though having a countable number of dimensions is formally compact in another standard topology.
philosophy-of-mathematics infinity
Mozibur Ullah
There are many compactifications, of which the 1-point compactification is an extremely simple one. See for example. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone%E2%80%93%C4%8Cech_compactification I don't know what you mean by "for real" or "respectible." You seem to have a particular point of view here. Certainly ordinals and cardinals are respectable and for real in modern mathematics, as you well know. Are you wearing your finitist hat today? – user4894 Sep 24 '14 at 0:27
Sure, and why should that preclude asking for compactifications of ordinal or cardinal infinities? Compact objects are more respectable because we can do more with them - its suprising just how often after an infinite object is constructed it is compactified or 'cut down' to make it possible to work with; not always of course; pure set theory works happily with infinities. – Mozibur Ullah Sep 24 '14 at 0:38
The first cardinality is the cardinal of the number of points in the compact interval; or forgetting its points its locale of opens. Is there something similar for the higher infinites? – Mozibur Ullah Sep 24 '14 at 0:41
Might get more takers if asked on mathematics.se since the question is specifically more number/set theoretic than philosophical per se, especially regarding higher orders of infinity. (Sorry, I understand your question, but don't have an answer although I suspect that anything >aleph0 probably is not compatible by nature. There's probably a theorem for this, but I also wonder if it delves deep into the continuum problem.) – Howard Pautz Sep 24 '14 at 1:13
@MoziburUllah Any ordinal can be given the order topology; and topological spaces have compactifications. But you'll have more fun with this on math.SE as already suggested. – user4894 Sep 24 '14 at 1:38
Here is the short mathematical answer :
An ordinal is compact if and only if it is a successor ordinal.
A cardinal is compact if and only if it is finite.
Here we are assuming the natural "order topology" is used. The result for cardinals follows from the result for ordinals since an infinite cardinal must be a limit ordinal.
If λ is a limit ordinal, then λ+1 is a "one-point compactification" of λ which we might loosely express as :
λ = [ 0, λ )
λ+1 = [ 0, λ ]
borrowing our notation from that of intervals in the real line.
The notion of compactification you describe in your question is strongly Euclidean and so does not readily apply to the ordinals in general. However, because it is tempting to view the ordinals as a line in the plane, there are number of nifty pictorial representations of infinite ordinals, drawn in a compact region of the Euclidean plane. Here is one I found via google images of the limit ordinal ωω as a spiral :
Intuitively, this type of Euclidean pseudo compactification would only work for countable ordinals such as ωω, pictured here. One can (almost) imagine extending this picture to a higher countable ordinal by replacing each ordinal in this depiction with a copy of ωω to obtain something like ωω2 perhaps(?) (I'm not sure). Imagining further substitutions beyond that, things become less clear. The first uncountable ordinal ( ω1 ) would be at the "limit of the limit of the limit ..." of this process - if that makes any sense.
This sort of doodling is fun, but unfortunately it does not say anything about the formal, topological view of compactness among the ordinals.
EDIT : When one considers the class of all ordinals, compactification seems wholly inappropriate. Re-reading this post, I think that most of what I've said, after the initial mathematical statements, is waffle. Probably just a shameless excuse to squeeze in a pretty picture. The whole idea of closure is contrary to Cantor's formulation, as suggested by @Conifold 's comment below, even if it is well-defined from a topological point of view.

Somebody needs to make a spinning gif out of that. Nice writeup. – user4894 Sep 24 '14 at 22:46
@user4894 Ya, it's a great image. I want a spinning bow tie like that. Maybe with chrome fin accents. – Nick R Sep 24 '14 at 22:49
@Nick R I'd say that the idea behind ordinals and cardinals is the opposite to that of compactification. Cantor explicitly designed his "third generation principle" to break past the possibility of any "closure" for ordinals: "if already generated ordinals share a property then they can be grouped together to form a new ordinal" (which lacks the property). – Conifold Sep 25 '14 at 0:19
I agree - even with my modest understanding. I may have misunderstood the OP. – Nick R Sep 25 '14 at 1:46
Definitely a nice picture; it certainly seems 'possible' to make this picture rigorous at least upto epsilon_0 - the first uncountable ordinal; by 'embedding' them into the real line; which is more easily imagined by inserting a real interval between every two consecutive ordinals – Mozibur Ullah Sep 25 '14 at 17:16
At least some ordinals and cardinals are for real. There is a notation for them such that you can write them down. But writing them down is not enough. You also want to be able to decide whether two different written down cardinals are equinumerous. For ordinals, you even want to compare them relative to their order, because the order is important for ordinals.
Now comes the problem. You can even write down the cardinal "1" in a way that it is nearly impossible to decide whether it is equal to "1" or not. But this is definitively not the fault of the cardinal "1". It's also not necessary a fault of the notation, because any sufficiently expressive notation will also allow to write down hard to decide expressions. (By hard to decide, I'm thinking of a computer which runs out of memory or time while trying to decide equinumerity.) For ordinals smaller than omega, writing them down in binary form makes it relatively easy to decide equinumerity, but converting such an ordinal from an arbitrary notation to this notation can increase the size of the description "more than" multi-exponential. But at least there is a notation which allows do decide equinumerity for these ordinals in principle. Such a notation also exists for significantly larger ordinals, but beyond a certain ordinal, no such notation exists any longer.

Interesting. 'You can even write down the cardinal "1" in a way that it is nearly impossible to decide whether it is equal to "1" or not'. I find this confusing - can you explain further. – Mozibur Ullah Sep 25 '14 at 14:49
@MoziburUllah Well, instead of "1", I could write down "53^(2*5^7)-(53^(5^7)+3^4-2^4*5)*(53^(5^7)-2^6+7*9)". Wolfram Alpha easily figured out that this is equal to "1". So I tried instead "5321234567^(2*5^71)-(5321234567^(5^71)+3^4-2^4*5)*(5321234567^(5^71)-2^6+7*9)", and now Wolfram Alpha told me this would be approximately "10^(10^(10^(1.706852871469356)))". So do you think that it is equal to "1" (and Wolfram Alpha is just too dumb to see this), or did I make a hidden typo somewhere, and Wolfram Alpha is right that this is different from "1"? – Thomas Klimpel Sep 25 '14 at 16:14
@:ah, ok; its the 'writing down' thats problmatic! Do you mean by 'nearly impossible' that there are formal systems where equality checking is undecidable? – Mozibur Ullah Sep 25 '14 at 16:56
@MoziburUllah By 'nearly impossible', I mean that equinumerity can't be decided within realistic memory and time bounds. An ordinal notation can be more restricted than a formal system for predicate logic, so that it can describe larger ordinals before it gets undecidable. In my example, I used subtraction to create problems, but typical ordinal notation systems won't include subtraction. But if they want to be able to describe large ordinals, then at some point they need to allow some problematic operations. – Thomas Klimpel Sep 25 '14 at 17:22
@ThomasKlimpel I can write down various formulations of Russel's paradox and lots of facts about unicorns. What does that have to do with being real? And who cares whether they are isomorphic under some set of rules that process those notations? I do not see how this is an answer. – jobermark Sep 25 '14 at 20:20
In some sense, it is clear these things are idealization, but they capture human intuitions that simplify or organize notions of arbitrary complexity or continuation. So they are Platonically 'real'. The complexity they model is not necessarily geometric or topological, just about relations. So I am not sure why anyone cares about their compactness.
I would say that compactness is not what is primarily gained by closing the complex plane, the real line, etc. A great deal of intuitive value is added by adding various idealized numbers into computations. Consider the nonstandard analysis of Los, et. al. It allows the kind of 'Cauchy-style' arguments that calculus used early in its logical development. Physicists routinely use this style of argument, involving infinitesimals and meaningful integration over discontinuous deltas, to simplify their handling of calculations. Creating these extra 'things' lets us write down the rules that tell us when such intuitive arguments are trustworthy, and when they cross a line into meaninglessness.
The closure of the complex plane is not important primarily because it is compact, but because it gives a total symmetry to computations involving things like conformal flow. The artificial infinities of the reals are helpful in avoiding carefully tracking epsilons and deltas that will slowly drive you nuts. The artificial infinitesimals make it possible to think through more complex analytic problems with less work.
Ordinal and cardinal infinities play a different role, in facilitation things like transfinite induction. It can be quite hard to imagine handling all varieties of sets and tracking all edge cases, but the isomorphism of L or V to the whole category of sets leveraged through ordinal induction gives us a way to prove things about arbitrarily varied structures in a systematic way.
jobermarkjobermark
+1 for 'epsilons and deltas will slowly drive you nuts'; can't agree more ;). Infinitesimals aren't artificial - they're for real; – Mozibur Ullah Sep 25 '14 at 20:32
Well, a whole system that allows them doesn't work. Like all other forms of infinity, they have to be provisionally real, and carefully protected from creating immediate contradictions by reducing the power of the logic working on them. You cannot have absolute negation (in a pervasive theme for me) and infinitesimals. – jobermark Sep 25 '14 at 20:33
Sorry for the massive reedit right as you were posting. – jobermark Sep 25 '14 at 20:38
Isn't this true for everything? I just mean that theres a geometric notion of the infinitesimals which relies on constructive logic - is this a stronger or weaker logic in your book? You can't prove the law of the excluded middle in them. – Mozibur Ullah Sep 25 '14 at 20:39
It can prove less, so it is necessarily a weaker logic. But I am in the end a progressive constructivist. I am not going to say simple existence by reductio-ad-absurdum is not a proof. But I think that a result is really destined for the dustbin if it goes too many generations without a constructive proof. – jobermark Sep 25 '14 at 20:42

Morning Start: The record for the most lights on a Christmas tree is 194,672
Your morning start for Thursday, Dec. 2, 2021
Good morning and happy Thursday! Here's your morning start to get your day going.
Fun fact: The record for the most lights on a Christmas tree is 194,672
In 2010, Kiwanis Malmedy and Haute Fagnes Belgium in Malmedy, Belgium, set the Guinness World Record for the most lights lit simultaneously on a Christmas tree with 194,672 lights. A total of 350 garlands, each measuring 3 m (9 ft. 10 in.) long, were fitted with 576 lights and hung on the tree.

Nearly 16 years after first coming up with the idea, a budding Kelowna author finally got around to finishing and publishing his first book this year.
Isaiah Fransen was eight-years-old when he came up with the premise that mirrors the story of his recently published book, Detective Jon and the Missing Jewels, which was released in July.
"The book that I did when I was a kid was actually finished, but I had no idea how to publish it, so we had to leave it for scrap," said Fransen, who is turning 24 on Dec. 21.

Day 2 of the 2017 College Challenge kicks off this morning at 10:30 a.m., with Pac-12 in the lead 155-141.
The men's 1000 free will feature a rematch of yesterday's tight 500 filed, with Zane Grothe, Sean Grieshop, Mitch D'Arrigo, True Sweetser, Clark Smith, and Grant Shoults duking it out. Amongst many highlights, we'll see Tom Shields try his hand at a 200 free out of lane 1, and the surging Maggie Aroesty in lane 4 for the 100 breast.
Lia Neal and Abbey Weitzeil will vie for the 50 free win on the women's side, while the men's race is wide open with 32-year-old Matt Grevers in lane 3 — with nine years on the next oldest swimmer in the race. The USA's Murphy-Miller-Moffitt-Neal 200 mixed medley relay team will go head-to-head with Pac-12's Ungur-Hoppe-Hu-Weitzeil team in what's sure to be a fun race.
No surprise here: Katie Ledecky took this one out smooth and was nearly a full 25 ahead by the 500 mark (which she hit in 4:37.88). She finished in 9:11.68, a 50 ahead of the field. Arizona's Hannah Cox finished second on 9:32.24, followed by USA's Madison Homovich in 9:37.78, UCLA's Sandra Soe in 9:53.85, Washington's Jasmine Margetts in 10:06.55, and USA's Ruby Martin in 10:11.65.
Yesterday's 500 champ Zane Grothe led the entire way, contested only by USA teammate Clark Smith. Grothe was 4:22.59 at the 500 followed closely by Smith, but pulled away in the final 300 for a final time of 8:45.71, with Smith at 8:46.34. In third was the USA's Mitch D'Arrigo in 8:55.18, then True Sweetser in 8:59.78, followed by Sean Greishop in 9:06.35, and Grant Shoults in 9:11.62 for sixth.
Michael Andrew threw down an 18.83 and nearly came back on Abbey Weitzeil to steal the win, but she prevailed with a 21.26 anchor leg. Pac-12's A-team finished in 1:28.87, followed by USA's B-team in 1:28.99, USA's A-team in 1:30.21, and the Pac-12 B-team in 1:32.15.
Katie Ledecky took it out in 49.96, finishing first in 1:41.60. For the first 125, she was trailed closely by Louise Hansson, but USA's Melanie Margalis made her move at the 150 mark, closing on Hansson to tie for second place in 1:43.19. Katie Drabot took 4th in 1:45.44, 5th went to Madisyn Cox in 1:45.68, Katie Grover was 6th in 1:46.88, and Dakota Luther was 7th in 1:47.09.
Out of lane 1 for the third time this weekend, Tom Shields led this race the entire way. He finished in 1:33.70, followed by USC's Dylan Carter un 1:34.16, Cameron Craig in 1:35.13, Michael Jensen in 1:35.80, Kieran Smith in 1:36.04, Zane Grothe in 1:37.07, Jack Conger in 1:37.27, and Austin Phillips in 1:39.64.
Pac-12's Kathleen Baker edged out USA's Regan Smith, going 50.62 and 51.30, respectively. In 3rd was Janet Hu with a 51.61, 4th went to Lucie Nordmann in 52.64, 5th to Hellen Moffitt in 52.81, and 6th to Jasmine Margetts in 55.40. Smith's swim is a new 15-16 National Age Group Record.
In a race featuring the past two Olympic champions, it was USC freshman Robert Glinta who prevailed in 45.97. 2nd place went to Matt Grevers in 46.10, 3rd to Ryan Murphy in 46.15, 4th to Paul Ungur in 46.24, 5th to Patrick Mulcare in 46.29, and 6th to Jacob Pebley in 46.50. Glinta finaled in the event at the 2016 Olympics.
Molly Hannis took the first 50 out in 26.91, pulling well ahead of the field for the final time of 57.69. She was followed by Andrea Cotrell in 59.33 and Melanie Margalis in 59.37. 4th place went to Maggie Aroesty in 59.98, 5th to Riley Scott in 1:00.16, 6th to Silja Kansakoski in 1:00.43, and 7th to Genny Robertson in 1:01.97. Hannis' swim was announced as the fourth fastest in history.
Team USA's Nic Fink edged out Cody Miller, going 52.10 and 52.79 respectively. In 3rd was Josh Prenot in 52.87, 4th went to Connor Hoppe in 53.34, 5th to Matthew Anderson in 53.42, 6th to Christian Lorenz in 54.09, and 7th to Jack Burton in 55.24. "We all know that breaststroke is definitely the best stroke," Fink told the crowd.
Pac-12's Ella Eastin smoked the field in 1:52.83, followed by USA's Regan Smith in 1:55.02. In 3rd was USC's Maddie Wright in 1:55.09, 4th was Cal's Katie McLaughlin in 1:55.94, 5th went to USA's Dakota Luther in 1:56.85, 6th was USA's Ruby Martin in 1:57.32, and 7th was Oregon's Arianna Letrari in 1:59.16.
Abbey Weitzeil grabbed an impressive win in 21.63, followed by Katrina Konopka in 22.34. Amanda Kendall was 3rd in 22.41, 4th went to Lia Neal in 22.43, 5th to Lucie Nordmann in 22.44, 6th to Hellen Moffitt in 22.45, and 7th to Maddie Murphy in 22.57. Weitzeil was only .05 off her NCAA time from last year.
In the second dual meet of his life, Michael Andrew dominated the race from the get-go, going 19.23. In 2nd was Michael Jensen in 19.83, 3rd went to Samuel Perry in 19.89, 4th to Daniel Krueger in 20.00, 5th to Ralf Tribuntsov, 6th to Matt Grevers, and 7th to Dylan Carter in 20.16.
Pac-12 teammates Ella Eastin and Kathleen Baker tied for first in 1:53.24 — a poetic moment in their ongoing rivalry. Melanie Margalis took 3rd in 1:53.89, Madisyn Cox took 4th in 1:56.00, Brooke Forde went 1:56.26 for 5th, 6th went to Kenisha Liu in 2:00.54, 7th to Andrea Cotrell in 2:01.07, and 8th to Madison Homovich in 2:20.79.
Score: Pac -12 294.5, USA 265.5.
For the last individual event of the meet, Josh Prenot took the win in 1:42.78. Second place went to Abrahm DeVine in 1:44.02, 3rd to Matthew Josa in 1:44.51, 4th to Michael Andrew in 1:44.83, 5th to Andrew Seliskar in 1:44.88, 6th to Patrick Mulcare in 1:46.57, 7th to Kieran Smith in 1:46.58, and 8th to Nic Fink in 1:46.62.
Louise Hansson gave the Pac-12 a huge lead after the first 100, and Janet Hu held on held on to hand of nearly a 2-second lead to Katie Ledecky. Lia Neal gained major ground for Team USA, but Abbey Weitzeil gained a body-length on Melanie Margalis for the win in 3:11.28. Team USA was 2nd in 3:12.75, followed by the Pac-12 B-team in 3:16.08 and the Pac-12 C-team in 3:22.12.
Pac-12 secured the meet win with this race.
With a stellar back half, Cameron Craig (41.9) edged out the USA's Daniel Kreuger for the win. Pac-12's final time was 2:51.58, followed by the USA B-team in 2:51.77, then USA A-team in 2:54.09, and Pac-12 B-team in 2:55.18.
I would check the splits reported in the article. If Grothe was 449 at the 500, he came back in 3:56 for the second 500, which would be awesome!
On the women's side, Ledecky was pretty great, 437, 433. Those splits I do believe.
Wrong split was announced here! Thanks for the catch.
Speaking of checking the splits, live results is not working for me.


With Spring having sprung, it's customary that performance poets and followers of that popular genre turn their eyes towards the woodchop arena in the Kenilworth showgrounds.
As the sounds of the previous weeks rodeo fade back into the surrounding hills, it'll be the fruits of the wordsmiths mixed with peals of laughter that replace them.
The Kenilworth Poets Breakfast is organised by local conservation group the Conondale Range Committee and has been as their contribution towards the popular Kenilworth Celebrates Festival for well over a decade.
The resurgence of poetry as crowd-pleasing performance owes a lot to the success of Poets Breakfasts and the one in Kenilworth is highly regarded by both poets and patrons.
Host of the breakfast, popular local poet Ian Mackay, attributes its success to the great mix of poets as well as its unpredictability.
The Breakfast commences at 8am on Saturday September 28 in the woodchop arena just behind the Kenilworth Hall. Entry to Poets is $5 plus breakfast from menu selection, coffee and cake and Devonshire tea available.
Following the Breakfast, there's ample time to visit the impressive art display, the centrepiece of the Kenilworth Celebrates Festival, www.kenilworthcelebrates.org.au The display is In the Kenilworth Hall, also markets and a host of other activities and entertainment.
An increasingly attractive option, especially for those who travel some distance to attend, is that of camping in the showgrounds and simply strolling over to the Breakfast in the morning. Phone 54460131 for camping details.
For enquiries about the Breakfast, phone Ian 54 460 124.
Spring is in the air and the Conondale Range Committee is ready to host another of its popular Kenilworth Poets' Breakfasts. With the sounds of the woodchop arena still echoing through the hills, the poets are poised to bring a new rhythm on the morning of Saturday September 28.
It's all part of the Kenilworth Celebrates festival September 28 to October 5th, and has continued to grow since its tentative beginnings out the back of the scout hall more than a decade ago, to the point where it is now an annual favourite with poets and audience alike.
Hosted by popular local poet Ian Mackay, this year's breakfast promises to be better than ever with a good line-up of poets and yarn spinners, some familiar faces and some fresh ones too. As well as the polished performers, there's always time for a poem or two from the audience.
The Breakfast mouths off at 8 am, in the woodchop area beside the Kenilworth Hall in the town's showgrounds with the entry price a mere $5. Coffee and cake can be purchased from the Save the Mary Group stall, Tea & Scones from local church group, Thai food and egg & bacon burghers from a well known local Thai cook.
Following the Breakfast, there's ample time to visit the impressive art display, the centrepiece of the Kenilworth Celebrates Festival, in the nearby hall.
Increasingly attractive is the option of camping in the showgrounds and simply strolling over to the Breakfast in the morning. Phone 5446 0131 for details.

Q: C String manipulation: How do I append = (equal sign) to the beginning and end of a tokenized string, Wrong output due to newline upon pressing enter I'm currently having trouble with appending an equal sign, before and after my string is split into tokens. It leads me to the conclusion that I must replace the newline character at some point with my desired equal sign after splitting my string. I've tried looking at the c string.h library reference to see whether or not there is a way to replace the newline char using strstr to see whether or not there was already an "\n" in the tokenized string, but ran into an infinite loop when I tried that. I also thought about trying to replace the newline character, which should be the string length minus 1, and I admit, I have low familiarity in C. If you could take a look at my code, and provide some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I will admit I have low familiarity with C, but am currently reading the reference libraries.
// main method
int main(void){

// allocate memory
char string[256];
char *tokenizedString;
const char delimit[2] = " ";
const char *terminate = "\n";
do{
    // prompt user for a string we will tokenize
    do{
        printf("Enter no more than 65 tokens:\n");
        fgets(string, sizeof(string), stdin);

        // verify input length
        if(strlen(string) > 65 || strlen(string) <= 0) {
            printf("Invalid input. Please try again\n"); }
    } while(strlen(string) > 65);

    // tokenize the string
    tokenizedString = strtok(string, delimit);
    while(tokenizedString != NULL){
        printf("=%s=\n", tokenizedString);
        tokenizedString = strtok(NULL, delimit);
    }
    // replace newline character implicitly made by enter, it seems to be adding my newline character at the end of output
} while(strcmp(string, "\n"));

return 0;
}// end of method main

OUTPUT:
Enter no more than most 65 tokens:
i am very tired sadface
=i=
=am=
=very=
=tired=
=sadface
=

DESIRED OUTPUT
Enter no more than 65 tokens:
i am very tired sadface
=i=
=am=
=very=
=tired=
=sadface=

A: Since you are using strlen(), you can do this instead
size_t length = strlen(string);
// Check that `length > 0'
string[length - 1] = '\0';

Advantages:

*

*This way you would call strlen() only once. Calling it multiple times for the same string is inefficient anyway.

*You always remove the trailing '\n' from the input string to your tokenization will work as expected.
Note: strlen() would never return a value < 0, because what it does is count the number of characters in the string, which is only 0 for "" and > 0 otherwise.

A: Well, you have two ways to do it, the simplest is to add a \n to the token delimiter string
const char delimit[] = " \n";

(you don't need to use an array size if you are going to initialize a string array with a string literal)
so it eliminates the final \n that comes in with your input.  Another way is to search for it on reading and eliminate it from the input string.  You can use strtok(3) for this purpose also:
tokenizedString = strtok(string, "\n");
tokenizedString = strtok(tokenizedString, delimit);

Wilson's disease
(redirected from WD - Wilson's disease)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
[wil´sunz]
a rare progressive disease, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and due to a defect in metabolism of copper, with accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, kidney, cornea, and other tissues. Characteristics include cirrhosis of the liver and degenerative changes in the brain, particularly the basal ganglia. Liver disease is the most likely manifestation in children; neurologic disease is most common in young adults. The characteristic ophthalmic feature is a pigmented ring (Kayser-Fleischer ring) at the outer margin of the cornea. Called also hepatolenticular degeneration.
Etymology: Samuel A. K. Wilson, English neurologist, 1878-1937
a rare inherited disorder whereby a decrease in ceruloplasmin causes copper to accumulate slowly in the liver, to then be released, and to be taken up in other parts of the body. Hemolysis and hemolytic anemia occur as the copper accumulates in the red blood cells. Accumulation in the brain destroys certain tissue and may cause tremors, muscle rigidity, poorly articulated speech, and dementia. Kidney function is diminished. The liver becomes cirrhotic. Treatment of Wilson's disease includes a reduction of copper in the diet and the prescription of copper-binding agents and penicillamine. Also called hepatolenticular degeneration.
Neurology An AR disorder of copper metabolism characterized by accumulation of copper in the brain, liver, and other organs Clinical Cirrhosis, degeneration of basal ganglia and neurologic deterioration with involuntary movement, tremors, muscular rigidity, spastic contractures, psychiatric defects, dysphagia, Kayser-Fleischer ring. See Ceruloplasmin, Copper.
A rare genetic disorder in which copper accumulates in the body, especially in the liver and brain, causing CIRRHOSIS and brain damage. There are behaviour abnormalities and personality changes, writhing movements of the limbs (athetoid movements), muscle rigidity and shortening, dementia and, in untreated cases, death. If diagnosed early, often by the observation of a ring of greenish-brown discoloration in each cornea (KAYSER-FLEISCHER RING), the condition may be controlled with a diet low in copper and the use of the drug d-penicillamine, which binds copper into a form which is excreted in the urine. Also known as hepato-lenticular degeneration. (Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson, 1878–1937, American-born English neurologist).
An inborn defect of copper metabolism in which free copper may be deposited in a variety of areas of the body. Deposits in the brain can cause tremor and other symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Mentioned in: Movement Disorders, Pseudogout, Tremors, Uric Acid Tests
proposed as a model for chronic copper toxicosis in Bedlington and West Highland white terriers but there are significant differences. Called also hepatolenticular degeneration.
Patient discussion about Wilson's disease
Q. Hi this is Wilson; I have a daughter, who is 5. She has frequent nose bleeds when she is behaving badly. Hi this is Bell; I have a daughter, who is 5. She has frequent nose bleeds when she is behaving badly. She has been screened by her school for ADHD and I haven't had a chance to consult a doctor for her screening and exam for ADHD. I thought that her nose bleeds cause due to her behavior? I need help.
A. I don't have an idea about this. But I think that you should first discuss these issues with your doctor. Also mention to the doctor if she has any problems with sleeping, like only sleeping 6 hours a night. Try with occupational Therapists which help children and adults with small motor issues like handwriting and also with sensory issues like learning how to calm down. Early intervention is always best.

He did not want the existing attitude of subservient attitude towards the British. This viewpoint has been widely debated. The opposition stated that the older design only appreciated the efforts of the ancestors and historic precedent in the past. Pearson professed the ideology for a progressive Canada. This was generally more welcomed by the people of Canada. He wanted a flag to represent the same ideals. He spoke in Winnipeg's Capitol Theatre about the need for a new flag. He wanted the nation to move towards newer ideology (Canadian Encyclopedia ).
In October 1964, there were three flag finalists that went before the parliamentary committee. The Committee members chose the design that was created by Dr. George Stanley. On Dec. 17, 1964, the new flag for Canada was selected based on the official vote taken in the committee. Officially on Feb. 15, 1965, the Red Ensign flag was lowered and the new maple leaf flag was selected. The reason behind selection of a flag was to show the citizens of Canada and the world that Canada is a sovereign progressive nation. The flag was an emblem that epitomized the newer ideology prevailing in the nation.

ARLINGTON, Va., March 9 – Just one day after a 19-16 win in a marathon game against Oakland, the GW baseball team could not keep the momentum going the next day, dropping a double-header to the Golden Grizzlies, 10-4 and 7-0.
GW found itself behind early in the first game of the double-header, as freshman pitcher Eric Cantrell gave up five runs in the first inning and three more in the second, allowing Oakland to jump out to an early 8-0 lead. By the end of the second inning, three Golden Grizzlies had already collected multiple hits.
It was the Colonials (6-5) who were successful at bat in the third inning, as junior Chris Marsicano singled to bring home two runs. Senior Charlie Kruer followed up with a two-run homerun to left-center field. But that was the end of GW's offense.
Oakland was not finished, through, as GW pitcher Tommy Gately, a freshman, loaded the bases with three players who would eventually come home, one on a throwing error.
Things only got worse for the Colonials, as the Golden Grizzlies once again scored in the first inning en route to the shut out. This time around, GW could not match any runs.
The two games were likely disappointing for the squad, considering it had managed to make it out of Saturday's slugfest with a win. Oakland had also been winless coming into Sunday's matchups.
The GW pitchers struggled to establish any dominance early in the games. They allowed a combined 13 runs in the first innings of the three-game series, putting pressure on the offense to produce runs early.
"This has been happening a lot. It's hard to have to play catch-up every game," head coach Steve Mrowka said.
The Colonials have six games left to get ready for the A-10 season, which starts against Saint Joseph's on March 21. GW will also face the Hawks on March 22 at Nationals Park in the first game ever played in the brand-new stadium.
The Colonials next face James Madison in Harrisonburg, Va., on Wednesday.

Příkaz umask (zkratka z anglického user file creation mode mask) slouží v systému Unix k nastavení implicitní masky práv nově vytvořených souborů.

Bez parametru vypíše aktuální nastavení práv, pokud parametr přidáme, dochází ke změně nastavení. Parametr se nastavuje tak, že zapíšeme tři osmičková čísla jako při příkazu chmod s tím rozdílem, že zadáme ta práva, která budou novému souboru nebo adresáři chybět.

Efekty příkazu umask

umask pouze omezuje práva; nemůže přidat žádná další práva, pokud nejsou specifikována programem,
který vytváří soubor nebo adresář. Když programy vytváří soubory, většinou jsou práva pro čtení a zápis souboru
přidělena všem uživatelům, práva pro spuštění souboru nejsou přidělena (rw-rw-rw- nebo osmičkově 666
v tradiční unixové notaci). Soubory vytvořené tímto způsobem nebudou spustitelné, i kdyby to maska povolovala.

Na druhou stranu, pokud programy vytváří adresáře, povolí všechna práva (rwxrwxrwx nebo osmičkově 777).
Takto vytvořené adresáře mohou procházet všichni uživatelé, pokud práva neomezí maska.

Příkaz shellu

Příkaz shellu umask mění umask procesu shellu, všech jeho dceřiných procesů
a procesů následně z tohoto shellu spuštěných. Nové nastavení umask je ztraceno po ukončení shellu (po odhlášení uživatele).
Pokud chcete umask změnit permanentně, musíte příkaz umask zapsat do přihlašovacího skriptu.

Moderní unixové systémy umožňují definici masky dvěma způsoby:
 Výchozími právy, nazývanými jako symbolická umaska, např. u=rwx,g=rwx,o=
 Číslem v osmičkové soustavě, které určuje, která práva budou maskována (nenastavena) pro jakýkoli nově vytvořený soubor nebo adresář, např. 0700

Číselné masky

Obvyklou hodnotou pro umask je 022 (maskující skupinová a ostatní práva pro zápis), což zajišťuje, že nově vytvořené soubory může měnit pouze jejich vlastník (tj. uživatel, který je vytvořil). Další obvyklá hodnota umask je 002, která ponechává práva pro zápis i skupině uživatelů. Tato maska může být používána pro sdílená data, kdy několik uživatelů pracuje se stejnými soubory.

Příklady číselných masek

V bashi:
  $ umask 0174
  $ mkdir foo
  $ touch bar
  $ ls -al
  drw-----wx 2 dave dave 512 Sep  1 20:59 foo
  -rw-----w- 1 dave dave   0 Sep  1 20:59 bar
Použijete-li masku uvedenou výše, osmičková 1 zamezí nastavení spouštěcích práv pro uživatele, osmičková 7 zamezí nastavení jakýchkoli práv pro skupinu a osmičková 4 zamezí nastavení čtecích práv pro ostatní uživatele.

For dinner, the restaurant transforms into a more formal dining area with subtle lighting, candles and drapery. There is live music every night and the beat of steel drums, calypso or jazz accompanies the natural orchestra of the waves rolling onto the beach.

I'm an Overlay!

                            This is a simple container with some inline styles to position it on the screen.
                            Its CSS transitions are customized for this example only to demonstrate how
                            easily custom transitions can be implemented.

                            Click the right button below to transfer focus to the "Show Overlay" trigger
                            button outside of this overlay. If persistent focus is enabled, focus will
                            be constrained to the overlay. Use the tab key to move to the
                            next focusable element to illustrate this effect.

                        <Button intent={Intent.DANGER} onClick={this.handleClose}>Close</Button>
                        <Button onClick={this.focusButton} style={{ float: "right" }}>Focus button</Button>
