Q: Imperative vs Functional by example I have a method implemented in imperative and functional (I did my best here) ways. The method iterates over ArrayBuffer[Creature], calculates distance to each creature and return the closest or None (if no creatures in the world except 'this').
Imperative:
private def closestEnemy: Option[Creature] = {
  var closest: Option[Creature] = None
  var distanceToClosest = Int.MaxValue

  for(creature <- game.creatures if creature != this) {
    val distance = distanceTo(creature)

    if(distance < distanceToClosest) {
      closest = Some(creature)
      distanceToClosest = distance
    }
  }

  closest
}

Functional:
private def closestEnemy: Option[Creature] =
  game.creatures filter { _ != this } map { creature => (creature, distanceTo(creature)) } match {
    case creaturesWithDistance if creaturesWithDistance.isEmpty => None
    case creaturesWithDistance => Some(creaturesWithDistance minBy { _._2 } _1)
  }

The functional code looks less obvious (probably it can be simplified but I don't see how) and I'm not sure if I am able to read it on fly in a month. My question is it a matter of habit or functional isn't good for this particular case? Did you have such doubts when started Scala? Did your functional skills greatly improved after some time and totaly beat the imperative approach? Please post your experience.
Thanks!

A: You can do this simpler by using collect:
game.creatures collect { case creature if creature != this => (creature, distanceTo(creature)) }

collect takes a PartialFunction and will only return values at which this function is defined, so creature == this will not be returned.
And also you can replace
case creaturesWithDistance if creaturesWithDistance.isEmpty => None

with
case Seq() => None

A: If your primary goal is readability, the following gives the same output as your code:
private def closestEnemy =
  game.creatures.filterNot(_ == this).sortBy(distanceTo).headOption

This seems extremely clear to me—there's very little syntactic noise, particularly compared to your imperative version.
Unfortunately sortBy is more expensive than minBy, and even more unfortunately there's no "safe" minBy in the Scala Collections API (where "safe" means that it returns an Option that's empty when called on an empty list). The following isn't too terrible, though:
private def closestEnemy = game.creatures.filterNot(_ == this) match {
  case creatures if creatures.nonEmpty => Some(creatures.minBy(distanceTo))
  case _ => None
}

So in this case you've run into a legitimate shortcoming of the Collections API (no safeMinBy), but I'd still personally much prefer to maintain this code than your imperative version.

As a footnote: it's worth noting that you can use the pimp-my-library pattern to "fix" the Collections API. Just put the following in scope somewhere:
implicit def makeSeqSafer[A](xs: Seq[A]) = new {
  def safeMinBy[B: Ordering](f: A => B) =
    if (xs.isEmpty) None else Some(xs.minBy(f))
}

Now you've got a safe, efficient minBy:
scala> List(1, 2, 3).safeMinBy(_ * 2)
res0: Option[Int] = Some(1)

scala> List.empty[Int].safeMinBy(_ * 2)
res1: Option[Int] = None

And in your case:
private def closestEnemy =
  game.creatures.filterNot(_ == this).safeMinBy(distanceTo)

Microbiome may be involved in mechanisms related to muscle strength in older adults

Study identifies differences in gut microbiome composition in physically high-functioning vs low-functioning older adults, successfully transfers some of these effects into mice
BOSTON (Sept. 18, 2019)–A novel new study suggests that the gut microbiome has a role in mechanisms related to muscle strength in older adults. The work, led by researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts, is available as a pre-proof in advance of print in Experimental Gerontology.
The gut-muscle axis, or the relationship between gut microbiota and muscle mass and physical function, has gained momentum as a research topic in the last few years as studies have established that gut microbiota influences many aspects of health. While researchers have begun exploring the connection between the gut microbiome, muscle, and physical function in mice and younger adults, few studies have been conducted with older adults.
To gain insight into this population, the researchers compared bacteria from the gut microbiomes of 18 older adults with high-physical function and a favorable body composition (higher percentage of lean mass, lower percentage of fat mass) with 11 older adults with low-physical function and a less favorable body composition. The small study identified differences in the bacterial profiles between the two groups.
Similar bacterial differences were present when mice were colonized with fecal samples from the two human groups, and grip strength was increased in mice colonized with samples from the high-functioning older adults, suggesting a role for the gut microbiome in mechanisms related to muscle strength in older adults.
Specifically, when compared to the low-functioning older adult group, the researchers found higher levels of Prevotellaceae, Prevotella, Barnesiella, and Barnesiella intestinihominis–all potentially good bacteria–in the high-functioning older adults and in the mice that were colonized with fecal samples from the high-functioning older adults.
No significant differences in body composition or endurance capacity were observed in the colonized mice; however, the researchers note that the length of the intervention period was short and these data may warrant further study.
"While we were surprised that we didn't identify a role for the gut microbiome on the maintenance of body composition, with these results we now start to understand the role of gut bacteria in the maintenance of muscle strength in older adults," said Michael Lustgarten, last and corresponding author on the study and a researcher in the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology & Sarcopenia (NEPS) Laboratory at the HNRCA. "For example, if we were to conduct an intervention to increase Prevotella levels in the gut microbiome, we would expect to see an increase in muscle strength if these bacteria are involved. Prevotella's role in the maintenance of muscle strength in older adults is one area we expect to continue to explore."
"As we age, body composition, muscle strength, and lean mass all decrease," said first author Roger Fielding, director of the NEPS Laboratory at the HNRCA. "Identifying differences in bacteria present in the high-functioning and low-functioning groups in this study moves us toward a fuller understanding of both the gut microbiome and healthy aging."
For the study, the researchers measured lower extremity function, mobility, and strength in the sedentary older adult group (ages 70-85) at the first and one-month study visits. In the mice, they measured body composition with quantitative magnetic resonance imaging, and grip strength and treadmill endurance capacity to test physical function. Fecal samples from the older adults were transplanted into young, gender-matched germ-free mice. Four weeks after fecal transfer, the researchers measured body composition, physical function, and gut microbiome in the 18 mice colonized with fecal samples from the high-functioning human group and the 18 mice colonized with fecal samples from the low-functioning human group.
The authors note the small sample size and brief time period as potential study limitations.
Fielding is also a professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts and Tufts University School of Medicine

Today is Monday. Yesterday was Sunday. On the day before today, Ji and I went to Seoul Comic World as sellers. I brought all my Mont Blank stuff and very low expectations. WHAT AN IDIOT I WAS, RIGHT?!!??!
Sold way more than expected and had a great response to my designs. Soon enough I'll be seeing lads and ladies walking around with Mont Blank on their t-shirts. How cool is that?!?!?
I sold a ton of my badges, some stickers, more books than I expected, more than half of my pencil cases and more than half of the tshirts. I'll have to print out a more of everything for next time, but I'll also be setting up an online shop very soon for anyone who wants to buy some straight from this website.
I'm going to be selling again at the next two conventions in the same place and I'll be telling the dates pretty soon.
If anyone wants to find out how to open their own stall at the Seoul Comic World or need help with anything else related to it, then you can private message me on any of the social media websites or even comment down below!

Le Sitz im Leben (expression allemande signifiant littéralement : « situation dans la vie ») est le milieu culturel, l'arrière-plan social ou le contexte historique dans lesquels une œuvre est produite. Ce concept, forgé par le théologien Hermann Gunkel (1862-1932), est l'un des principaux instruments d'analyse de la Formgeschichte, ou « critique des formes », méthode d'exégèse biblique qui date du .

Présentation

La  s'attache à décrypter la « préhistoire des petites unités littéraires » qui composent la Bible, en particulier dans le cas des Évangiles synoptiques. Daniel Marguerat souligne que ces formes littéraires ont été « dictées par le milieu de vie communautaire () dans lequel elles s'inscrivaient : catéchèse, culte, débat avec la synagogue, etc. ». Le Sitz im Leben, milieu socio-religieux d'où proviennent les formes littéraires du Nouveau Testament, devient alors un élément déterminant pour étudier la manière dont une tradition orale s'est transformée lors de son passage à l'écrit. Il permet de proposer une herméneutique du Nouveau Testament en fonction du contexte.

Le concept de Sitz im Leben, en opposition au Sitz im Buch, est aussi utilisé dans le cadre des études coraniques. Il permet de décrire le genre littéraire des unités textuelles et le contexte dans lequel ces passages ont été écrits et utilisés. L'étude de ce contexte pose la difficulté, pour le texte coranique, que ces unités littéraires ont été réunies en un corpus et ont pu voir leur signification et leur utilisation première évoluer en devenant part de ce corpus aux genres variés. "Il s'agit du problème classique du Sitz im Buch, de l'ancrage dans le livre, qui dissimule le Sitz im Leben d'un texte, son ancrage dans la vie, son usage dans une situation socioculturelle concrète". Par exemple, le Sitz im Leben  de la sourate 1 a été étudié par P. Neuekirchen qui fait un lien entre le texte et les pratiques liturgiques chrétiennes orientales.

Pour Christopher Tuckett, le Sitz im Leben ne se limite pas aux questions d'exégèse biblique et relève aussi bien de la sociologie en général : « On a fait remarquer que l'expression Sitz im Leben était employée d'une manière spécifique par la critique des formes classique. En réalité, cette expression est d'ordre sociologique en ce qu'elle décrit une situation propre à n'importe quelle communauté . » Ce type de contextualisation peut d'ailleurs soulever des objections.

Microsoft Announces Limited Edition 1 TB Forza Xbox One
By Kevin Carbotte 24 June 2015
Forza Motorsport has been one of Microsoft's biggest exclusive franchises since its debut on the original Xbox console. With the release of Forza Motorsport 6 in September, Microsoft has finally given the franchise a special edition console to go with it.
Launching side by side with the game, a limited edition Forza Motorsport Xbox One console will be released. It comes in a special color combination inspired by the Ford GT, which adorns the box of the game.
The two-tone blue is matte on the left side and glossy on the right of the controller, and it features two dark blue racing stripes running along the top of the matte side. The Forza logo can be seen within one of the strips on the top. The start button has the same start/stop decal found in the cockpit of the Ford GT, and when you press the button the Xbox plays an audio clip of the car starting up. Turning the console off and ejecting a disk will also play a similar sound effect.
The controller that comes with the console has also been given the same dual-shade blue livery. Microsoft is bundling the new controller with improved joysticks, trigger button and a new headset-friendly audio jack. The A B X Y buttons have all been made black with blue letters. The colors for each button have been marked with small dots in between.
Microsoft has not said how many of these 1 TB limited edition consoles will be available. It is available for pre-order now for $400, and it will include a digital download copy of Forza Motorsport 6. Both the game and console come out on September 15. The controller is available for purchase separately through Microsoft's online store for $65 and will be released a week prior, on September 7.

Better than anything else I've seen.
Avus 24 June 2015 15:16
I give up sinking $$ into console for racing/driving since Xbox1/PS4 stop support their last gen steering wheels. There is NO WAY I just junk my perfectly working steering wheel and spend at least $400USD (x2 more if you play on both platform) every 6 years.... Specially I am a big racing game fans and willingly to spend up to $1000 for a good set of wheel, pedals and shifter (Fanatec). I will still buy a console in future if there are enough exclusive that interest me. But for racing/driving game, I stick with PC that will never expire my peripherals for no reason except GREED.

I'm sure the "Limited Edition 1 TB Forza Xbox One" is really cool but, Microsoft really needs to come out with a new upgraded model to fix the XB1 disaster. Adding a 1T HD and backwards compatibility is great but it still doesn't fix all the issues. The main problem is that Microsoft/XB did NOT focus on games but everything else instead. That's why the PS4 has double the sales of XB1 and now that Sony has just added the 1T HD and more efficiency, XB1 is back to square one again. They need to do far more than just these tiny band-aide software fixes.
Backwards compatibility for XB1 is just another cheap software emulator that isn't all that great. In fact, it would have been nice to hear that they were going to incorporate a hardware solution to backwards compatibility instead of just another half baked software emulator. This is the problem with the Xbone. They skimped on everything. I would have paid a little more for proper hardware solutions. Microsoft/XB has still not learned its lesson = to stop going so cheap on everything - that is why the PS4 has double the sales.
The original XB was state of the art and more advanced than PC's when it came out and it blew away PlayStation. THAT is what Microsoft/XB should've done with the XB1 because that's what many of us who were there from the very beginning expected - we've been very disappointed with the XB1 and still are.
There were several reasons to believe they'd come out with a new model at E3:
1. The rumors strongly implied a new model because it was badly needed.
Xbox One Slim Microsoft's Secret Weapon For E3 2015?
http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/21183/xbox-one-slim-microsofts-secret-weapon-for-e3-2015/
2. The PS4 has double the sales over XBox One leaving XB in the dust.
3. The PS4 has far more raw power and is in many ways the better console.
4. XB1 uses DDR3 memory while PS4 uses GDDR5 = much faster
5. PS4 has double the shaders than the XB1 = 1,152 vs 768 and 10% of that goes to kinect.
6. XB1 doesn't even play games in 1080
7. They fired Don Mattrick (man behind XB1) and eventually replaced him with Phil Spencer to fix the XB1 disaster
MS/XB did the bare minimum, which tells me MS/XB cares far more about money than making the better product. The long-time XBox fans who were there from the very beginning are still very dissatisfied with the XB1. Microsoft/XBox should've come out with a new model to win back all the fans that they've disappointed with the XBox One. They dropped the ball big time - AGAIN!!!

The biggest issue I see with putting in hardware emulation is that they will alienate their fan base, the early adopters where already pissed when the consoles price got lowered so soon after release, and then all the collectors editions of the console that started coming out, put in hardware backwards compatibility on only the new consoles and that might just be the straw that breaks the camels back.
alidan 24 June 2015 23:00
look into converters, apparently with one of the more/most popular semi cheap logitech wheels, they made it for ps3 and pc, and there was a separate box made for xbox so it could be used on that.
form what i know, its around 100-180~ dollars, but this kind of thing is something you may want to look into...
that said, forza is my raceing game of choice if i get a new console just because of the rewind feature... im so sick of racing games that 1 mistakes screws you completely with no hope of recovery and if you don't have a wheel have fun with precision, than the load times... i want to play racing games, but the wheels are to expensive and when a game requires it to function correctly and have no real "we wont (cant say the word here) you time away" feature because you are on a 10+ minute race and real life distracted you for a second and oh, head first into the wall, you went from first to 8th, now redo the entire thing and don't make a single mistake again... i just cant do that. i wish more sim games would have rewind but so many people who play sim games scream at the devs to not implement it or even think of it.

fixxxer113 25 June 2015 07:06
The original XB was state of the art and more advanced than PC's when it came out and it blew away PlayStation.
1. State of the art? More advanced than PCs? Have you ever opened up an XBOX? It IS a PC. It's a 733 Mhz Intel Pentium III with an NVIDIA Geforce 3 GPU and 64MB of DDR RAM. It also had a standard IDE DVD and HDD drive. The only reason that some games might have looked better than on PC, is that the console wasn't burdened by a full OS (something that pretty much happens now).
2. Blew away the Playstation 2 on specs maybe, but don't forget that the PS2 was the most succesful console of all time, with absolutely ridiculous sales numbers and lifespan. So, as far as the console makers are concerned, power certainly isn't everything when they want to sell.
Ninjawithagun 25 June 2015 13:23
zzzzzzzzzzz.....wake me up when the real XBOX One hardware upgrade is released in November. Upgraded CPU and GPU will help the XB1 play games in true 1080P as well as allow for 4K playback with HDMI 2.0. Yeah, that's worth waking me up :D
Merry_Blind 25 June 2015 15:14
you may be forgetting that they never planned to make profit or be prolific with the xbox... it was sold at a loss and never expected to make money back... it was just a piece of hardware to get a foot in the door, the best looking game on it was ninja gaiden, and there is a good chance that on just graphics, gamecube beat xbox with metroid, there were also some late system tech demos that also showed there were allot more they could have pulled out of the system.
and to point 1, when they were launched, it wasn't till the 360 and ps3 that pc's were more powerful than the consoles, the hardware inside mixed with a single programmable for architecture made them far more capable than pc's at the time. granted, the xbox may have been the breaking point for whats better, my memory of back than is a bit crappy.


In mid August 2017, Dr.Sopon from Thailand humbly conducted a questionnaire survey to Indian valuers who have good knowledge about property markets in India. The views on the economy of India at large property markets in particular were explored. The results of this survey would be beneficial for investment planning into India.
Dr.Sopon Pornchokchai, President, Thai Appraisal Foundation was invited by the Practicing Valuers Association of India (PVAI) to present a paper at the PVAI Annual Conference in Nagpur during August 12-15, 2017. During that period, Dr.Sopon conducted a small research to reflect the view of valuers on Indian economic and real estate developments as well as other related issues.
During the period of paper presentation of Dr.Sopon, he conducted a simple survey to valurs in India in order to assess the economy and property markets in India via the view of Indian property valuers who are very much matured and should understand property market well. The questions are simple such as the assessment of Indian economy in 2016, 2017 and 2018, the assessment of property markets in the same period, property sectors which have high hope, countries where they expect to buy property abroad (if possible) and the assessment on the reputation of Indian valuers.
Dr.Sopon was invited as a honorable speaker. There was no need to conduct this survey. He should have stayed quietly. But Dr.Sopon is always a researcher and was willing to conduct this survey to assess the situation for the benefits of Indian valuation profession and to reflect the view of Indian valuers to the economy and property markets which would be beneficial for India at large. He constructed a small questionnaire in the hotel and hired hotel staff to make photocopy. He humbly walked to each table to distribute the questionnaires to participants during their listening to a session and later to collect the filled ones. This might be a bit annoy to the participation. Please forgive Dr.Sopon for this. However, the survey would be a good set of information for all.
The first three questions were to allow Indian valuers to assess Indian economy. It was assessed that out of the 10 as the best, the economy was assessed at 5.7 in 2016, 6.1 in 2017 and expectedly 7.4 in 2018. It should be mentioned that the standard deviation is quite low. This implies that the results were somewhat reliable. It implies that Indian valuers assessed that the economy has been fine and would be better in the future. The difference between 2016 and 2017 was little but the increase in 2018 would be quite significant. The future of Indian economy is bright.
In terms of property markets in India as a whole, Indian valuers also assessed something similarly to that of the economy. Out of the 10, property markets in India as a whole was assessed at 5.4 in 2016 and the same 5.4 in 2017. There was only little difference in the standard variation. However, it was expected to 6.4 in 2018. This implied that property market might get start for recovery from the previous boom and price escalation. So Indian property markets would be improved in the near future.
The following is the list of property sectors which were mentioned to be of popular development with good profit in the future of India.
It could be found that housing are among the largest proportion of the booming of 17%. On the whole, the overall residential sector (housing, residential, rental apartments and affordable housing) contributed to 40% Indian economy have been recovered over time. In the past, there were a lot of street dwellers in major Indian cities. Nowadays, the proportion of these substandard housing including slums and the like was shrinking over time. In addition, that the proportion of commercial properties, industrial properties and infrastructure were 25%, 17% and 11% respectively, reflected the strong economic structure of the country.
Around one-fifth (18%) would like to buy properties in the USA. This was the top and dreamed destination for Indians. UK as the centre of the former empire constituted some 13% which was very high too. However, house prices in UK. would be exorbitant. Amazingly, Thailand is the third in the priority with 9% responses. Actually, Thailand and India had good relationship for centuries. Then it would be Australia (9%) expectedly for migration, Singapore (8%) expectedly for investment and UAE (8%) as a investment as well. It should be mentioned that very few would buy properties in China. Dr.Sopon left this phenomenon for the interpretation of the readers themselves.
Indian valuers who have good knowledge in property markets assessed that the economy of India would be bright. In addition, Indian property markets would be growing promisingly as well particularly in the residential sector with the special attention to affordable housing. In fact other sectors are also booming as well. Amazingly, USA is first destination for Indians with the largest proportion of responses followed by UK, Thailand, Australia and Singapore.
On the whole, India possesses a bright future because of the recovery of the economy. People can afford to buy a house in an open market instead of staying in substandard housing. Subsequently, affordable housing is a sector of booming in today real estate markets. Due to the large number of population of 1.3 billion, India is one of the largest markets in the world. India is one of the largest sources of affordable labourers as well. Foreign direct investments in Indian real estate should be quite attractive. On the other hand, Indians are investing around the world as well. Smaller countries such as Thailand should benefit from the boom of India as well.


In the game I remembered about the original design of the Israeli pavilion at the exhibition titled Expo-2010. Indeed, he was unusual and very distinctive. To stand out among the other allowed the original architects. The design of the pavilion, combines two buildings, and as if one followed from the other. The first symbolized the leaving age, and second — new technologies and their rapid development.
The Design delights you will come across in this game in the form of fragments, images that are painted on the tiles. Tiles stacked on the table in the form of a rectangle. In a very short time allotted to pass the level you must remove all of the tiles from the table. How? You need to find the total mass of identical pictures. But this is not the only criterion. Paliki (tiles) should be able to connect with each other no more than three lines intersecting at right angles. Sounds complicated, but in practice it's simple. For example, a special case of the possible connection (connection), when two tiles are next. Start playing and questions will disappear quickly.
A Special difficulty is here the brevity of the game. You must act immediately, without being distracted even for a second, to be able to disassemble the table on time. Very little time, believe me!
You can play the game CONNECT: EXPO 2010 online 24 hours a day for free. It is no need to download and install it on your computer, and it is also not required you to be the registered user. Just ckick and enjoy. See also a set of related games below on that you might be interested to look.


What is the one thing that every brand features after it has been acquired? The Killing of the brand. As much as it may seem like a farfetched reality, but the harsh truth is that most companies that take over other brands, utilize the technologies and services of the acquired brand and integrate them into their own service. While this may be a good opportunity for the company to shine again, the acquired brand becomes prone to extinction.
This is the case with Apple and the Beats Music Service where (according to reports), Apple wishes to modify the services of Beats Music and integrate it into iTunes. TechCrunch reported that Apple plans to eliminate the Beats Music streaming service, which it acquired in May. This is in accordance with a statement released by Apple which states, "Company (Beats) may modify over time, and one of those changes could involve changing the Beats Music brand." This is an indication that Apple could focus on integrating the Beats Music Service instead of shutting down the service completely.
However, if Apple removes the dedicated app of beats music service from the App Store, and integrates the service into iTunes, then the Beats brand would be lost forever. It is interesting to know, though, that Beats Audio was itself the product of a rebranding initiative by MOG music streaming service that was acquired by it long ago.
There reasons behind the rise of such rumours is that Apple did not include Beats Headphones in the new white box which contained the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Moreover, nothing was said about the Beats Music Service at the event. If you consider the new iPhone devices, none of them had the Beats Audio App. This is indicative of a red flag being shown to Beats Music service because it is strange that Apple should ignore a service for which it paid billions of dollars. On the optimistic side, this could also be an indication that Apple might be working on developing something even better by utilizing the Beats Music Service. We hope that things go in a positive direction for Beats or else the world might lose yet another good brand.


I am a pediatric hematologist/oncologist specializing in cancer survivorship health. Cancer survivorship is a relatively new and evolving field of medicine which addresses the long term side effects of cancer treatment which may occur years following therapy. Most childhood cancer survivors will have at least one "late effect" from treatment. I firmly believe that early identification and treatment of these late effects may lessen the impact on one's health. I find this aspect of medicine very rewarding as it is a means to improve long term health in survivors of cancer.


This module provides a general-purpose clone function to make deep copies of Perl data structures. It calls itself recursively to copy nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied variables and objects.
The clone() function also accepts an optional second parameter that can be used to limit the depth of the copy. If you pass a limit of 0, clone will return the same value you supplied; for a limit of 1, a shallow copy is constructed; for a limit of 2, two layers of copying are done, and so on.
To allow objects to intervene in the way they are copied, the clone() function checks for a couple of optional methods. If an object provides a method named clone_self, it is called and the result returned without further processing. Alternately, if an object provides a method named clone_init, it is called on the copied object before it is returned.
Some data types, such as globs, regexes, and code refs, are always copied shallowly.
To report bugs via the CPAN web tracking system, go to http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Clone-PP or send mail to Dist=Clone-PP#rt.cpan.org, replacing # with @.
Clone - a baseclass which provides a clone() method.

Sex Press
Vincent Bernière (veja mais livros deste autor)
Abrams(veja mais livros desta editora)
From 1965 to 1975, an array of journals, magazines, fanzines, and underground presses were the voice of a dramatic sexual revolution. In Europe and the United States, this 'sex press' consisted of publications such as Other Scenes, Yellow Dog, Actuel, Suck, The Body, and Screw-some of which were fully dedicated to sex, while others also engaged with the time?s most riveting topical issues, including politics, human rights, war, women?s rights, and gay and lesbian rights. Showcasing art from the most revolutionary publications of the era, the book traces the exuberant sexual liberation of the 1960s and then moves into the mid-1970s, with its more codified form of pornography. Illustrated by a vivid collection of full-page facsimiles, Sex Press offers a compelling visual tour through an extraordinary period of experimentation, creativity, and sexual freedom.

I did call Sprint and they confirmed that there is no outstanding balance. I also managed to get them to unlock the phone for me, and they gave me an "unlock code". I gather that this "unlock code" is the same as the MSL number? Or perhaps it is the SPC number?
I did update the phone to Lollipop, 5.01. I have come across some information that this might have been a mistake, that the apps or such are not supported on Lollipop, but I didn't know this before I upgraded. I am willing and able to install any ROM that would make it possible for me to activate. I've installed several different ROMs on my old phone (a Motorola Triumph).
I have installed the FreedomPop apps. The diagnostic app seems to work but doesn't report anything unexpected. MyFreedomPop crashes almost immediately after attempting to login. The phone and messaging app asks me to select an international calling plan, and when I try to select the free plan it gives me an error. I cannot send a message or make a call with the phone and messaging app.
Please help! I am eager to get this phone activated and perhaps become an Ambassador if I can recommend my experience.
You can call into activations and get them to do it for you.
Ok thanks! I was going to do that tomorrow. No weekend phone support, apparently.
They are open on the weekends, from 9AM - 5PM PST, only I've been told that management doesn't work on the weekends.
For those of you living on the East Coast that's 12PM - 8PM EST 7 days a week.
I've just spent the last few hours calling back and forth between Sprint and FreedomPop with no success. I'm still not passing the MEID check. Sprint says that yes, this phone had previously been activated on a postpaid account, and that yes I can activate this phone on another carrier, and they again gave me the same unlock code/MSL number. FreedomPop has no good explanation on why I can't pass the MEID check.
Still not ready to give up though, because I haven't been given a good explanation on why this phone can't be activated.
Thanks for your response. Neither Ring+ nor Ting validate the MEID either. Why would Sprint tell me its ok when it is not?
I contacted the original owner and they say the phone was active for over a month and hasn't been active since April, so that shouldn't be the problem. I am still waiting to hear some advice or explanation from someone on this forum who isn't a "Newbie".
If it does not clear R+ or Ting, then it is flagged for some reason. Sprint will not be able to help you with that. What error did you get on Ting?
The error that Ting gives is:"Sprint says there's an unpaid balance associated with it."
But the original owner, and Sprint, say that there is not.
Can you help fairthomas with this?

About BorTec
Corrosion resistance of stainless steels – All you need to know
The term corrosion (lat.: corrodere = disintegrate, erode) refers to the reaction of metal materials with their environment which may result in change and impairment of the metal. The reaction may be caused, for example, as a result of contact with oxygen (formation of rust), moisture or various salts. Corrosion resistance thus defines the ability of a metal to resist external influences and to remain inert in conjunction with other elements.
Corrosion-resistant stainless steels
Corrosion-resistant stainless steels are also referred to as chemical-resistant, rust-resistant, acid-resistant and heat-resistant steels and are alloyed stainless steels. The corrosion resistance is primarily dependent on the alloy elements, but the surface and structural conditions play a key part in the resistance of steel to external influences.
Alloy elements of corrosion-resistant stainless steels
Non-rusting corrosion-resistant stainless steels receive their special properties by alloying with chromium which, in conjunction with oxygen, forms a dense, firm and transparent protective layer made of chromium oxide. The chromium oxide layer is only a few nanometers in thickness yet still effectively protects the steel from corrosion. This is not the case with non-alloyed or low-alloyed steels. The passive layer is able to automatically renew itself in the event of damages like scratches, if there is sufficient oxygen and time for regeneration. A proportion of at least 10.5% chromium is necessary to make a steel corrosion-resistant. The element chrome is thus one of the main alloying elements. Other alloying elements are, in particular, nickel which makes steel more resistant to many acids if a quantity upwards of 10% is included. When even greater demands are made of the materials, molybdenum, in particular, is added to the alloy. These individual procedures are more complex than can be explained at this time. If no passive layer is present on the steel, electro-chemical elements may form, especially in conjunction with moisture, which may attack the steel.
Structural conditions of corrosion-resistant stainless steels
For high corrosion-resistance, it is important to ensure that the stainless steel has as stable and homogeneous structure as possible. The corrosion-resistant steels are divided into four main groups in accordance with their structural states.
Ferritic stainless steels
Ferritic steels with a proportion of 11% to 13% Cr are considered slow to rust because they only have a low corrosion resistance. Others with around 17% Cr have a higher corrosion resistance, which may be further improved by the addition of around 1% Mo.
Martensitic stainless steels
The martensitic steels with a proportion of around 12-18% Cr and carbon content as of approximately 0.2% and higher obtain higher mechanical strength properties thanks to their hardness than the remaining stainless steels. The corrosion resistance is acceptable, but not sufficient for applications such as the food industry or medical technology.
Austenitic stainless steels
Austenitic steels are alloyed with around 18% chrome and at least 10% nickel. Their key feature is their high rust and acid resistance, which can be further improved with increased Cr and Ni content.
Duplex stainless steels
Duplex steels have an austenitic-ferritic structure and have greater strengths than austenitic steels. The good mechanical properties and the corrosion-stability has resulted in austenite being replaced by duplex steel in many applications.
Applications of corrosion-resistant stainless steels
As has already been mentioned, there are a variety of corrosion-resistant steels and thus also a variety of potential applications. Rust-free steels are available as rolled, forged or cast materials. Applications can be found in automotive engineering, the food processing industry, medical technology, the tap fitting industry, fixture technology and many more sectors.
Hardening corrosion-resistant stainless steel with BORINOX®
BORINOX® process for stainless steel hardening can be used to harden duplex steels, martensitic steels capable of precipitation-hardening, austenitic steels, as well as nickel-based alloys without reducing the corrosion-resistance of the material. The surface hardness is increased, according to steel type, from 280 HV to 1.700 HV. Austenitic steel is particularly well-suited for treatment with BORINOX®.
The material and the selection of suitable upstream manufacturing processes play a key role in the corrosion-resistance of each application. Our materials specialists would be happy to provide qualified consultation as required.

Effluent samples for a treated textile waste water and treated domestic sewage waste water and water and sediment samples for an 8.2 km region of Ash Camp Creek near Keysville, Virginia, were collected in June, 1977. Effluent and stream water samples were analyzed for various water quality parameters and for suspended, dissolved, and total zinc. Sediment samples were analyzed for zinc and percent loss on ignition. The treated textile waste water was the major source of zinc to the stream. The effluent and stream water samples exhibited a marked partitioning of zinc among the dissolved and suspended fractions of the water column. The ratios of mean dissolved to mean suspended zinc ranged from about 0.76 to about 1.40. The ratios of mean dissolved to total zinc and mean suspended to total zinc ranged from about 0.42 to 0.62 and from about 0.38 to 0.57, respectively. Anomalously high zinc concentrations were found in the sediments 0.80 m downstream from the point of discharge of the treated textile wastewater and appeared to be caused by sedimentation of suspended zinc induced by a reduction in stream velocity. The domestic discharge together with flow from a small unnamed tributary had a moderating effect on the water quality of the stream functioning to dilute stream pollutant load. Sulfide precipitation appeared to be an important mechanism by which zinc was concentrated in the sediments 40 m below the domestic sewage discharge. Zinc concentrations declined further downstream likely as a result of such factors as dilution, sedimentation, and sorption by inorganic sediment particles.


You will notice our resource recommendations are more action-orientated than most. These are not stories of other people's success, they tell you what you need to do. We narrow down and give you the best resources for your stage of growth that will help you act.
Our first recommended action begins on this page. Build a habit of regular continual learning. We recommend 10% of the time you work IN your business should be spent ON your business. So if you work a 50 hour week, 5 hours of that should be ON your business (if you don't think you can find a way to move 5 of that 50 from IN to ON time, read Getting Things Done as a start). And a big part of working ON your business is working ON yourself. Invest up to 5 hours a week learning, exploring, thinking, expanding your mind and seeking advice from experienced business people.
Here are some simple ways you can access great experience and advice from wonderful thought leaders.
The E-myth: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It - Michael Gerber. By far the best book to start your journey with. Do not start your business or grow on it any further until you've read this seminal book.
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity – David Allen. Early on you will waste a lot of time,opportunity and therefore money by not being personally productive. And, if you build excellent organisational habits when you start hiring a team of people you will reap a return by naturally leading by example. Get the most from your time, and a handle on your stress (work/life balance) from day one.
Guerrilla Marketing: Easy and Inexpensive Strategies for Making Big Profits from Your Small Business – Jay Conrad Levinson. Most small business people don't have a sales or marketing background, so invest in this area early. This is the best book to start with.
The Advanced Selling Podcast:Weekly Education for Sales People. Again, as selling is usually a big weakness in most small business owners invest in this area early. Bill and Bryan will instil the right sales mentality and philoshopies so again you build the right habits and attitude towards sales. There are a lot of different sales resources, approaches and "systems" out there, this is the best place to start.
Dragon's Den: BBC series is excellent fodder for getting the business basics right. The 5 experienced business people tear apart business models, and sometimes people (put this part of the show down to it being entertainment, not educational).
The Apprentice: Either the US or UK series, but keep in mind – we do not recommend the leadership style depicted by Sir Alan or "The Don". There are still good business lessons to learn from these undoubtably highly successful business people.
School For Startups: Ex-Dragon from the BBC series "Dragon's Den" has a wonderful social enterprise helping people get the fundamentals right before they start their business. If you can, go along to one of his seminars.
Flying Solo: A terrific site for solo and micro business owners.

Collaborative Construction
It's always good to start again, and a new team of 20 pupils have had their first session in the world.
They had a play with the keys and getting used to moving (when they've only played MC using a console, it's a little different using a keyboard!), and then went on a walk - led by myself - from the Town Hall to a new housing estate where 20 shining plots of building land were sat waiting.
Each child has taken a plot, added a notice to let others know whose land is whose, and gone away with a sheet of squared paper to plan the ground floor of their 16x8 block dwelling.
Next session the proper creative building begins :o)

The Howard "ABC"-Rowland 950-ft sand water flood, operated by Continental Oil Co., is located 10 miles north of Nocona in Montague Co., Tex. Pilot operations commenced in Nov., 1958, and subsequent expansions continued through Dec., 1960. Despite the high reservoir oil viscosity of 48 cp, ultimate secondary recovery from the project is projected at 480,600 bbl, or 300 bbl/acre-ft of floodable area. Secondary oil recovery will be approximately 21.5 per cent of the oil in place, as compared to a primary recovery of 10.8 per cent. Ultimate water requirements are projected at 6.28 million bbl, equivalent to 2.2 pore volumes. Actual performance of the flood will exceed theoretical performance as predicted from core data.
Continental's N. J. Howard "ABC" and J. W. Rowland leases produce in an area locally called the North Nocona field, which is shown in the General Location Map, Fig. 1. Both leases are assigned on the Railroad Commission proration schedule to the Montague Co. Regular Field. Oil production in the general area is from sands of the Cisco and Canyon series that occur between the depths of approximately 800 and 1,600 ft. Between July, 1925, and Dec., 1960, 94 wells were drilled on the Howard "ABC" lease and 118 wells on the Rowland lease. Individual zone development is essentially on 2 1/2-acre spacing. Water flooding on the subject leases began during Sept., 1951, with a pilot of the 800-ft sand. This test was unsuccessful due to the presence of an underlying water section. A successful water flood of the 1,400-ft sand commenced during Sept., 1955, and is still in progress. Initial injection into the 950-ft sand was in Nov., 1958. This report covers performance of water flooding the 950-ft zone underlying Continental's Howard "ABC" and Row- land leases.
Geology and Reservoir Characteristics
The N. J. Howard "ABC" and J. W. Rowland leases are situated on the northwest trending Rowland anticline, a portion of the regional Muenster Arch. Surface outcrops are Cretaceous in age and underlain by the Cisco and Canyon series of Pennsylvanian age. Present interpretation locates the 800, 950 and 1,000-ft producing intervals in the Cisco sand series, while the 1,150, 1,200, 1,400 and 1,600-ft intervals are located in the Canyon series. Structure and porosity development are the principal controls for accumulation of oil in these sands. A log cross section through a portion of the 950-ft zone is shown in Fig. 2. Figs. 3 and 4 present a structure map and net pay isopach map for the 950-ft sand underlying the subject leases and surrounding area. Wells shown on the cross section are indicated by a connected line on the maps. Two oil-water contacts exist, and they have been established at 146-ft subsea in the eastern portion of the reservoir and 112-ft subsea in the western portion. A lack of porosity development, which defines productive limits to the north and south, precludes connection of the two water-saturated sections. The primary producing mechanism of the 950-ft sand was solution-gas expansion. There was no evidence of natural water encroachment during primary production.

Jean-Marc Vallée, 'C.R.A.Z.Y.' and 'Dallas Buyers Club' Director, Dies at 58
LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 17: Director Jean-Marc Vallee accepts Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special for "Big Little Lies" onstage during the 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at Microsoft Theater on September 17, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
by Maxance Vincent December 27, 2021, 11:31 am
Acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée has died at age 58 on Christmas Day, Deadline has reported. The cause of death was not reported at first, but TVA Nouvelles has learned that the director died of a sudden cardiac arrest and was found dead by his friends at a residence in Berthier-Sur-Mer, Québec.
The filmmaker rose to stardom with the release of C.R.A.Z.Y., a 2005 coming-of-age drama starring Marc-André Grondin, Michel Côté, and Danielle Proulx, winning Best Picture at the 2006 Genie Awards and 2006 Iris Awards (known at the time as the Jutra Awards). The film is widely considered to be one of the greatest Canadian films ever made and was ranked by critics of the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015 as the eighth greatest Canadian film of all time.
The success of C.R.A.Z.Y. made Vallée one of the first French-Canadian directors to successfully transition to Hollywood with the release of 2009's The Young Victoria, starring Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, and Paul Bettany. He then became the first Québec filmmaker to have a film nominated at the Academy Awards for Best Picture with 2013's Dallas Buyers Club, which led to Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto winning Oscars for Best Actor and Supporting Actor respectively.
Vallée also directed Wild, Demolition, and the HBO series Big Little Lies and Sharp Objects, which led him to more international acclaim. In a statement, HBO stated that "Jean-Marc Vallée was a brilliant, fiercely dedicated filmmaker, a truly phenomenal talent who infused every scene with a deeply visceral, emotional truth. He was also a hugely caring man who invested his whole self alongside every actor he directed. We are shocked at the news of his sudden death, and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his sons, Alex and Émile, his extended family, and his longtime producing partner, Nathan Ross."
Tributes poured over social media, with Québec Premier François Legault calling the news "tragic" and Vallée an "exceptional artist", while Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez thanked Vallée's contribution to cinema around the world:
François Legault on Twitter: "Quelle nouvelle tragique.Jean-Marc Vallée m'a ému de C.R.A.Z.Y. à Big Little Lies.Il était d'une extrême gentillesse.Mes condoléances à tous les proches de cet artiste exceptionnel. pic.twitter.com/VizV7GKC1e / Twitter"

Translation: What tragic news. Jean-Marc Vallée moved me from C. R. A. Z. Y. to Big Little Lies. He was extremely kind. My condolences to all those close to this exceptional artist.
Pablo Rodriguez on Twitter: "Very sad news this morning. Jean-Marc Vallée made his mark in cinema not just in Quebec but around the world. His films have made us laugh, cry, think and have opened up our imagination. I want to offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. https://t.co/tnESWp0ANo / Twitter"

Cinémas Guzzo CEO Vincenzo Guzzo called the news "a loss for words", and that "our industry is in mourning", while Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante stated that the world lost "a great filmmaker".
Vincenzo Guzzo "MrSunshine" on Twitter: "Notre industrie est en deuil… Nous avons perdu un de nos grands, soudainement.
