Chinese smartphone makers have led the way to innovation during 2018 and Vivo is among the top smartphone companies with an eminent name in the mid-range segment. However, it seems like the year is not over yet. We might witness the new device Vivo NEX 2 from the company on December 11. Leaks and rumors are out that we might see the device next week here in China. Other than that, rumors surrounding also indicated that we NEX 2 will probably have a dual display. How has Vivo managed to come with dual displays and what will be the size of this secondary display is yet to be discovered.
The news was confirmed when Vivo Chinese website was spotted taking pre-orders for the NEX 2. The launch dates are not mentioned on the website but preorders confirm a launch very soon.
Other than dual display, reports and leaks coming out indicate that we might be in for another triple camera set up on the rear sides. If you think that's enough for an upgrade then we should also tell you that NEX 2 reportedly has 10GB RAM. The company has never released a 10GB RAM device and this will mark its first entry in double-digit RAMs. We might see another variant with a lesser 8GB RAM in some countries.
Weibo, a Chinese microblogging site, has leaked a screenshot of the Vivo Chinese website to confirm the claims of dual displays on the NEX 2. This leak also flashes some light on the internal storage which is kept 128GB. The leaks kept chipset information untouched but with the trajectory, things have gone for Vivo, we can expect Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 in the new Vivo NEX 2. With huge 10GB RAM coupled with the chipset, we can expect an overclocked chipset like Asus's ROG Phone. Though, Snapdragon 845 is still the best performer at normal clocking speed.
The NEX 2 will be Vivo's next flagship device and with the type of smartphones Vivo delivers to the market, all eyes have high expectations from this new flagship model. Before this, Xiaomi captured the limelight of budget flagship device but failed to impress consumers with its specifications. However, with the leaks like dual-display, 10 GB RAM, Vivo NEX 2 has taken the center of the stage. We can expect the Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box with a skin but the main power will lie beneath dual-display and there might be a skin optimized for both the displays.

It's hard to decide if this little robot by rongYIREN is more cute or more intimidating. There's something about his stance and proportions that says "take me home and make me one of the family. But there's something about that huge gun and beady little eyes that says "I know where you live, and I'm going to kill your family".

Devarattam () is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language action drama film written and directed by M. Muthaiah produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja. The film stars Gautham Karthik and Manjima Mohan, while Vinodhini Vaidyanathan, Soori, and FEFSI Vijayan play supporting roles. The film's soundtrack is composed by Nivas K. Prasanna with editing done by Praveen K. L. and cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan. The film released on 1 May 2019. It received mixed to negative reviews and it is a box office bomb.

Plot
Vetri (Gautham Karthik) lives in a  casteist pride(devar) joint family with six sisters and their husbands. He has been brought up by his eldest sister Pechi (Vinodhini Vaidyanathan), and their relationship is more like a mother and son. Vetri, despite being a lawyer, has an anger problem and gets into unnecessary fights, but everybody in the family loves him as he is the first advocate in their family. However, soon he takes the law into his hands when he murders a sexual offender and his friend who happens to be the adopted son of Madurai's dreaded gangster, Kodumpavi Ganesan (FEFSI Vijayan). Ganesan swears revenge and promises to kill Vetri just like he murdered his son in the streets of Madurai in broad daylight. However, Ganesan instead kills Pechi and her husband (Bose Venkat). As revenge, Vetri kills Ganesan and places his severed head inside the fridge at home, a deed that he was supposed to have done before the funeral of the deceased relatives.

Critical Reception
Srivatsan.S of The Hindu wrote "Devarattam is yet another Tamil film that uses rape/sexual assault as a ploy to take the story forward. The film comes at a time when the disturbing Pollachi incident is still fresh in our minds." Sreedhar Pillai of Firstpost said "In the end, Devarattam seems like just another film which shows Madurai as a traditional land that is also a blood-soaked, lawless place where cops and gangsters are hand in glove." Janani.K of India Today writes as "Director Muthaiah's films follow the same template. So much so, that you can guess the story even before you have seen the film. Devarattam is the same: a cliched rural entertainer. Skip Devarattam at ease." Subhakeerthana.S of The Indian Express wrote "Mindless violence and bloodshed fill this below-average rural drama". Karthik Kumar of Hindustan Times said "If you are interested in a generic rural masala entertainer but one that has great action, then this Gautham Karthik starrer could be a film for you." Sudhir Sreenivasan of Cinema Express wrote "The film, ostensibly mounted on Thevar pride, makes the sort of association with violence we have generally been used to seeing in such movies" Anjana Shekar of The News Minute wrote "It is not just a sentiment-action-revenge-drama formula. It is the director's anguish at how men treat women in this society. In the end, the message rings loud and clear for all the men - "Our heroism and courage is for the sake of protecting women, not for raping them!"."

Box office
The film earned Rs 6.5 crore in its opening weekend.

Soundtrack
This film's soundtrack is composed by Nivas K. Prasanna with lyrics written by Yugabharathi, Magizh Thirumeni, Vivek, and Pa. Vijay

Rumor: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt May Reconcile
Cat Cain December 10, 2016 8:30 pm January 1, 2017 0 1561
According to the latest rumors, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could decide to give their romance another try. Actually, it has been claimed that the famous actress has been thinking about giving Brad a second chance.
The news came from a Star magazine report, which indicated that Angelina wants to give her estranged husband another chance because she just misses him so much. The report also indicated that Angelina felt very lonely during Thanksgiving and this is how she started to miss Brad. Furthermore, it seems that the star is having some second thoughts about the separation.
Star claimed that this does not mean that all the problems that Angelina and Brad had until now are completely gone. The report indicated that the two still have a special bond only because they have been together for so many years.
"Of course Angie and Brad had their problems – every couple does. But after 12 years together they had a very special bond, and Angie's asking herself if she's thrown away what could have been a lifetime of happiness with one rash move. It's turned into a very low and very hurtful experience with her," an insider said according to Star.
The insider went on to add that it was sure that Angelina regretted her decision to divorce Brad. "I don't doubt that she's telling herself over and over, 'I made a huge mistake!'," the source said. "I think that Angie has also come to the realization that she had the perfect family unit with Brad and the children, and that he really was a terrific person," it added.
The insider also explained that rumors about Brad seeing other women are not easy for Angelina. The insider claimed that the star actually felt heartbroken when rumors indicated that Brad was dating Kate Hudson. "I heard she even slipped up in a moment of weakness and admitted, 'I want Brad back!'" the source said.
However, as expected, a report from Gossip Cop denied the claims made by this source. Gossip Cop talked to a spokesperson for Angelina, who said that the actress has never said that she regretted her decision to leave Brad.

Nuno Alvites, nommé également Nuno ou Nuño Aloitiz (fl. 1017–1028), il fut comte de Portugal, descendant du premier comte, Vímara Peres et fils du comte Alvito Nunes et de Gontina.

Biographie
Il apparaît pour la première fois dans les sources en 1017. En 1025, une donation faite par le roi Alphonse V de León à son frère Pedro Alvites, est mentionnée et de nouveau à la même époque, une charte indique qu'il est le successeur de son père Alvito. Il gouverne le comté conjointement avec son épouse Ilduara Mendes, une fille du précédent comte Menendo González, jusqu'à son assassinat en 1028, l'année de la mort du roi Alphonse V. Ilduara continue de gouverner le comté après la mort de son mari, comme régente pour le compte de son fils Mendo, qui n'est encore qu'un enfant.

Postérité
 Mendo Nunes (ou Menendo Núñez) (fl. 1028–1050/1053) gouverne le comté sous la régence de sa mère puis seul jusqu'en 1043.
 Gontroda Núñez présente dans les sources entre 1028 et 1088, épouse le comte Vasco. Ils sont les parents d'au moins un enfant, le comte Nuño Velázquez, connu dans les sources portugaises sous le nom de Nuno Vasques ou Nuno de Celanova. Nuño épouse Fronilde Sánchez dont il a plusieurs enfants, dont les comtes Alfonso, Menendo, et Sancho Núñez
 Munio Nunes, qui cède une propriété dans le Domez avant 1031

Pete Buttigieg does well in Iowa Caucus despite disruption
Former South Bend, Indiana mayor, Democratic Party candidate, and possibly America's first openly gay presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg took the early lead in the 2020 Iowa Caucus.
The results were announced by the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) Chair Troy Price with their release of 62 percent of the precinct results after unprecedented delays.
Pete Buttigieg at the Iowa Caucus
Buttigieg's closest rival was Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who came in second to Buttigieg with the state delegate equivalents (SDE) but was first in the popular vote.
Buttigieg had 363 SDES while Sanders 338 SDEs. However, Sanders had 27,088 in first preference votes to Buttigueg's 23,666. Sanders also led in final preference votes with 28,220 versus Buttigieg's 27,030.
As a result, Buttigieg told Des Moines supporters: "We know by the time it's all said and done, Iowa, you have shocked the nation, because by all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious."
Later on, he told media that his declaration was based on his campaign's "internal numbers" as no official results had yet been released.
Meanwhile, Sanders expressed cautious optimism, saying that "when those results are announced, I have a good feeling we're going to be doing very, very well here in Iowa."
Elizabeth Warren trailed Buttigieg and Sanders in the two rounds of preference votes and in SDEs. Joe Biden was in fourth place while Amy Klobuchar was in fifth place.
Delay in reporting at the Iowa Caucus
The issue surrounding the release of the Iowa Caucus results were due to a "quality control" issue.
A phone app that caucus officials were supposed to download to report the data to the state party office reportedly failed.
Moreover, a backup plan wherein officials could phone in results left the count in limbo.
The state party said in a statement that with the "inconsistencies" in the reported results, the data would not be released publicly until it was confident of the results.
LGBTQ groups supporting Pete Buttigieg
LGBTQ groups lauded Buttigieg as the election process heats up.
"Pete has shattered expectations for his candidacy throughout the campaign, and he will continue to do so in the primary states ahead," said Annise Parker, president of the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which endorsed Buttigieg last July.
Parked added: "Tonight's strong showing provides the publicity and momentum he needs to head into New Hampshire."
Equality California, the largest statewide LGBTQ political organization, said they aren't endorsing Buttigieg "simply because he's gay."
Rather, they said, his candidacy "has already had a transformational impact on the LGBTQ community."

Experienced mariner and Eastland Port marine manager Captain Chris Kaye reckons he had a tear in his eye when he was reunited with the tugboat Daldy last week.
Daldy is on charter from Ports of Auckland and will be easing ships into position at Eastland Port this month while Waimata has her first five-yearly slipping, or check-up, in Whangarei.
"Daldy is a testament to the quality of New Zealand-built harbour tugs from her era. She's forty year's older than Waimata and only one third of the power," says Capt Kaye, who used to drive the tugboat for Ports of Auckland on Waitemata Harbour in the nineties.
Captain Kaye is referring to Daldy's Voith Schneider mechanical propulsion system which combines propulsion and steering in one unit.
Developed over 90 years ago by Austrian engineer Ernst Schneider, today the Voith Schneider propeller system is used in many vessel types, harbour tugs in particular.
Traversing sideways and turning in circles is simple for tugs with Voith Schneider propulsion, as the thrust and propeller efficiency is the same in all directions.
"It's the ultimate in propulsion systems," says Captain Kaye.
Daldy is named after Auckland politician William Crush Daldy who was the inaugural chairman of the Auckland Harbour Board in 1871.
The Daldy has a more famous namesake in Auckland – the 1935-built historic steam engine tugboat William C Daldy which now operates as a tour boat on the Waitamata Harbour.
Captain Kaye says it took 36 hours to drive Waimata to Northland. The long trip provided five Eastland Port marine team staff experience in coastal voyaging.
Eastland Port staff also delivered Daldy from Auckland to Gisborne and both voyages will be done in reverse at the end of the month.
While in Northland Waimata will be inspected, painted underneath, and have cathodic protection applied to control corrosion of her metal surfaces. She will also have her propulsion units serviced.
Until she's back Capt Kaye says the Eastland Port pilots and tug masters will enjoy putting Daldy to work on Gisborne's harbour.

When your body doesn't feel right, you go to the doctor to find out what's wrong. But sometimes, you need a doctor's attention and you don't even know it. Your eyes can have underlying issues that need to be looked at, but how do you know when it's time to visit your eye doctor? Let's go over a few tips that everyone should keep in mind.
Have you ever looked closely at your eyeglass frames and observed very small numbers printed on the frame? You probably wondered what they were for, and figured it was an industry only piece of information. In reality, those numbers can mean something to you, and being informed about your frames will help you shop for them in the future!
Eyewear trends come and go with the tide, but some styles have real staying power that we've experienced over the last several years. In 2017, we're going to see a few of the same looks as in previous years, but with a little bit of a twist. Let's take a sneak peek at what's in store for this year!
If you're an avid cyclist, it's important that you have good equipment. You place great emphasis on your gear, your clothing, and your electronics. But do you place as much thought into your eyewear as you do everything else? For anyone who wears eye protection while riding, the type of glasses you wear can be extremely important.
It might seem like getting glasses ordered should be a snap. You pick out your frames and you're all done! While opticians work behind the scenes to make it seem easy, there are actually many measurements and calculations that go into a quality pair of eyewear.
Your eyeglass Prescription - What does it entail?
Every year when you get your eyes examined by an optometrist or ophthalmologist, you end up getting sent home with a piece of paper. On it are words and numbers that seem like gibberish, but in reality they contain the key to allowing your vision to be crystal clear.
You're about to sink the winning putt, or you're seconds ahead of your competitor on your last lap, and suddenly the sun gets in your eyes. If this has happened to you before, you probably weren't wearing quality sunglasses.


Ballets Russes | The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, founded in Paris in 1909, generated ground-breaking artistic influence that lasts through today. Engineering collaborations between composers, choreographers, and visual artists, Diaghilev established a creative model whose concepts are with us at Lincoln Center through the work of George Balanchine. The Ballets Russes brought the essence of Russian folk culture to Western stages through art, music, and the unparalleled technical skills of Russian dancers. For CMS's season finale, we pay tribute to the company with music of composers commissioned by the Ballets Russes.
This event will take place at Alice Tully Hall. Please click here for more information on the venue.

Q: Is there a standard for documenting GET/POST parameters? In a PHP project, even when front controller logic is used for the main application, there can be many stand-alone scripts, ajax snippets and so on.
Is there a standardized way - either PHPDoc or something else - to define in the first comment block of the script what GET and/or POST parameters the script will accept / require and of which type they are?
I usually help myself by just adding @params as if the file were a function, and a @return explanation for what the script does and returns, but maybe there is a more specialized way I do not know of.

A: Pekka,
I'd look into using a WADL to document interacting with your API. Its not directly answering your question - because this isn't generated from source code documentation, its XML, and maintained separately.
It does answer this directly:

what GET and/or POST parameters the
  script will accept / require and of
  which type they are

You can place sample payloads in the document, along with URI params, accepted content-types, error codes/responses/payloads. I find it very valuable, and with a WADL, someone can code a client against your API.
For more info: http://research.sun.com/techrep/2006/abstract-153.html
and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Application_Description_Language

A: phpDocumentor won't like @param and @return tags in the file-level docblock...
If you choose a separate file to document them in, as per Mr-sk's answer, you can use @link to point there, but it won't be immediately visible in your file's documentation page... it'll just be a hyperlink that you'll have to click to go see the info.  If you want any of that file's contents to be visible on the documentation page for your script file, you could use the inline {@example} tag to point to it, or even just certain lines in it, e.g. {@example /path/to/file 3 5} to show only lines three through five.
In this scenario, I'd probably choose to just explain things in the long description of the file-level docblock, since there's not actually a direct way of tagging your parameters to where phpDocumentor will recognize them as code elements anyway.  If any of the parameters I used in my descriptions were indeed documented code elements that originate somewhere else in the code, I'd use the inline {@link} tag to point to that code element.
For example, let's say there are some constants defined in another code file, and those elements' own documentation gets generated when that other file is parsed.  If my long description that I write in the file-level docblock of a script-only file (like yours) talks about those constants as parameters, then my sentence might be:
If $POST['foo'] is set, its value should always be either {@link BAR_CONST} or {@link BAZ_CONST}.

A few other stores with plenty of celiac-safe options: Whole Foods, which has its own Gluten-Free Bakehouse products as well as items made by other brands; Noah's Natural Foods, a small, health-oriented local chain with several locations; and Ambrosia Natural Foods, just north of Toronto in Thornhill, which offers some of the best prices on gluten-free goods that I've found anywhere. Also, a couple of websites offer shop listings (and, frequently, a lot more): Gluten-Free Ontario and Celiac Canada.
October is Celiac Awareness Month, so there's an uptick in coverage about the disorder and generally about gluten intolerance. A couple of the better pieces that have been published lately: "Gluten-Free: Is It for Me?" by Daphne Oz on Oprah.com and "Why Common Foods May Hurt Your Health" by Dr. Jon LaPook on The Huffington Post.
Everyone knows it's Halloween at the end of this month, but parents of children with celiac disease and/or food allergies need to hear about the Halloween candy list that's available from Sure Foods Living. Keep in mind that this list was compiled using American sources. Canadian parents, when you read that Smarties are free of gluten, know that this is not true of the popular Nestlé treat, but of an American candy that is unrelated but shares the name. Also this month, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness hosts a Gluten-Free Cooking Spree in San Francisco. It will take place on October 30th; check the NFCA site for details and ticket information.
There is a place called CeliGourmet here in Buenos Aires that sells food to take out. It has all sorts of things, such as crepes, tarts, pizzas, sandwiches, empanadas (typical local food). There are also many kinds of cake, like cheesecake, chocolate cake, tiramisu, etc., and a variety of breads. There are two stores: one in General Paunero 1927 – Martinez (like half an hour out of town) tel, 4798-2990, and one in Thames 1633 – Palermo Soho, in town, tel 4831-5162.
To my ear, Buenos Aires sounds more and more like a gluten-free paradise. Reader Silvia Basualdo Róvere shared some local restaurants in this post and in this one. If you visit Buenos Aires, check out Oleo, a website that allows you to search for city restaurants that serve gluten-free meals ("comidas para celiacos"). There are currently 300 places on the list!
Another reader, Sybil, left an incredibly helpful comment on my post "Gluten-Free Fast Food at the Eaton Centre." In it, she mentioned that the Druxy's Famous Deli in Toronto's Commerce Court kept gluten-free bread in its freezer. I'd never heard about Druxy's offering gluten-free options, but Peter Druxerman, the company's vice-president of marketing, confirmed it. Right now it's just a test program — the only Druxy's with gluten-free bread is the one in Commerce Court — but it's one that Druxerman says the company would like to expand.
We twice visited the festival last summer, and we were able to order ahead, by phone or online, for a gluten-free picnic lunch that we picked up from the Festival Theatre lunch bar. We found the food and beverage supervisor very helpful in discussing options, and the food was excellent!
If you go, the Festival Theatre Café is located at 55 Queen Street, Stratford, [tel] 1-800-567-1600 or 519-271-4040. According to the website, picnic lunches need to be ordered at least 48 hours in advance.
Many thanks to Carolina, Sybil, and Marilyn for their terrific tips. Please keep them coming!
Last week I wrote about how I ended up at a (wonderful) Turkish tourist trap. This week, I'm fessing up about falling for a gimmick. Not just any gimmick, mind you. There's a short list of chefs whom I admire and will follow to whatever new venture they dream up. Toronto's Marc Thuet is on that list. I've dined — gluten-free — at his various restaurants over the past few years. That's how I ended up at Conviction.
There are a few things you can count on at any Marc Thuet restaurant. One is a charming setting; two is impressive service; and three is fine food. All three are in evidence at Conviction. The dining room is an airy white atelier enlivened by red chairs, crimson flowers, and scarlet chandeliers. Service is thoughtful and helpful; while my server didn't seem to be familiar with celiac disease, it took only a few minutes to coordinate with the kitchen about what I could have for dinner. The food was fantastic: I started with a simple green salad made special with the addition of a well-aged sheep's milk cheese, and then had Ontario-raised lamb with ratatouille. The menu is short, but everything on it is farm-fresh, or made from scratch on the premises.
I've suggested the restaurant to a few people since, and have heard only good reports. I'm gaining confidence in Conviction. The next time I dine there, I may even pay with a credit card.
Some fiction news: My short story "Insatiable" was published by the online journal Beat to a Pulp. BTAP's editor, David Cranmer, interviewed me, and asked me about the Gluten-Free Guidebook, among other things. Also, my story "Beast" just took first prize in a crime fiction contest called the Watery Grave Invitational.
I have mixed feelings about the Royal Ontario Museum's redesigned building. From Bloor Street West, Daniel Libeskind's crystal is aggressively fabulous. It's an übermodern work of jutting glass and steel, and you can't miss it, even from a mile away. The interior of the crystal is another story. In spite of its towering ceilings, it lacks the grandeur of the façade and resembles a whitewashed warehouse. This is not to say that the collections aren't breathtaking. I particularly love the Chinese galleries, which feature an intact Ming tomb as well as the Bishop White Gallery of Chinese Temple Art. The ROM also has wonderful galleries devoted to ancient Egypt and Greece, and its perennially popular dinosaur collection. But the building is disappointing on the inside.
The exception is C5, the Royal Ontario Museum's beautiful restaurant, which is located on the crystal's top level. Here the skylights and criss-crossing window segments provide a gorgeous view of the city. The dining room is modern chic: white leather banquettes and chairs for dining, black leather sofas and wing chairs for drinks, and an open kitchen that knows how to pair flavors for maximum impact. This is where I had my most memorable meal on my last visit to Toronto: fresh cod, grilled to perfection and served with a lentil-and-vegetable salad and a tangy mustard sauce. The menu is short, but everything on it is prepared from scratch, and the staff is familiar with celiac disease and food allergies.
Keep in mind, if you visit, that you don't need to pay admission to the museum to dine here (though I strongly recommend that you visit the collections). Just tell the staff that you're going to C5, and they'll point you to an elevator that will whisk you upstairs.
I just spent four days at the ThrillerFest conference at the Grand Hyatt in New York. If you're a fan of mysteries, crime novels, or thrillers — or if you aspire to write them — you may have heard of it. Best-selling writers such as Lee Child, Steve Martini, Lisa Gardner, David Baldacci and Meg Gardiner all spoke at the event (along with many others). It was a fascinating scene.
And yet, what I was really thinking about was lunch.
When I registered for the conference a couple of months ago, there was a place on the online form to add any special notes. I mentioned that I have celiac disease, and that I would need a gluten-free meal for the luncheon on Thursday (other meals weren't included in the conference, so this was the only one I needed to arrange in advance). I didn't really expect to hear anything back from the organizers, so 10 days before the conference, I e-mailed them. I told them what I needed, and asked them how I would go about arranging it. They responded promptly and assured me that they would look into it. And so I waited… and waited.
I never got an answer back on my question about this. What we have done in past years for the banquet is that you tell your waiter your special requirements when you are seated. If I learn something different, I'll let you know.
That was an eye-opener for me. And however ill-informed that conference organizer was, she forced me to realize that even when you explain to someone else what celiac disease is and what you need to avoid, they may not take it as seriously as you do. It was an important lesson.
In the end, my luncheon problem was easily solved, because I got in touch with the catering staff at the Hyatt directly. As with every Hyatt property I've visited — from Toronto, Canada to Santiago, Chile — they assured me that it would be no problem to get a gluten-free meal ready for me. And they meant it: I was served a main course of chicken with steamed broccoli and carrots. (Several people I've interviewed, including Alice Bast and Vanessa Maltin, have mentioned how helpful and accommodating Hyatt is on the gluten-free front.) But it reminded me that sometimes you really do have to take matters into your own hands.
One of my favorite things about my job is that I get to discover and review wonderful places. I was just up in Toronto for my annual Frommer's guidebook, and I'm happy to report that I found plenty of things worth writing about (including the amazing Frank Gehry renovation of the Art Gallery of Ontario — the photo above is of his spiraling showpiece of a staircase). Given the state of the economy, I focused on finding places that are particularly good value for the money. One of the things that's bothered me over the past few years is that the prices at some restaurants have veered off into the stratosphere; last year, it seemed like many of the new spots that opened were charging upwards of $40 for an entrée. You could argue whether that's a good idea at any time, but in a recession it just seems wrong.
There were a few things I couldn't have on Madeline's menu, but the staff was savvy about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, and had no problem pointing out what would be safe for me. I ended up starting with a portobello mushroom salad that was dressed up with sweet onions, capers, and a poppy vinaigrette. For the main course, I had bison carpaccio with potatoes, chives, garlic, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. I passed up dessert (not many gluten-free options there), but went home satisfied — and excited about spreading the word. It's still an indulgence, but one that felt well worth it.

How COVID-19 is accelerating digital transformation
By Sabine Vollmer
Some Southeast Asian governments instituted strict lockdowns to slow the spread of the coronavirus. As the region is slowly easing restrictions, businesses are reconfiguring offices and factories to allow for social distancing amongst returning employees. They are rethinking guidelines that govern working from home, refinancing debt, conserving cash, and controlling costs.
They are also acting on another lesson learned during the lockdown.
In recent videoconferences, members of the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants Regional Advisory Panels for the Middle East and Asia talked about a strong push to accelerate digital transformation.
In Indonesia, banks are moving teller services online. In India, a manufacturer is rethinking its business model and distribution channels. Plans to digitise existed before the pandemic, regional advisers said, but they weren't the top priority. The economic and health impacts of the pandemic ratcheted up the urgency to implement the plans.
Revamping distribution channels
Going into a strict lockdown two months ago, the Indian manufacturer followed a multichannel distribution model to sell its merchandise wholesale, in brick-and-mortar stores, through institutional buyers, and online. Coming out of the lockdown, the e-commerce model is on top of everybody's mind, and online has become the most important distribution channel.
The shift was fuelled by the tremendous growth in the e-commerce business company leaders saw during the past two months. The increase in online sales underscored another lesson: the speed, adaptability, and agility of the e-commerce model.
To further its online business, the manufacturer plans to overhaul its distribution channels. Instead of sending merchandise to hundreds of locations across India and building up stock in anticipation of sales, the company plans to aggregate inventory in two central locations. As online sales come in, merchandise will be distributed from those two locations several times a day.
The strategic shift to an e-commerce model follows a rapid increase in smartphone users in India. The number of smartphone users in India is estimated to reach about 440 million in 2021, about 19% of the global population using smartphones and more than double the number in 2015, according to Statista, an online portal for market statistics. Only China has more smartphone users.
What to consider when going digital
Surveys Deloitte conducted suggest digital transformation can increase sales and profits by increasing product quality, customer satisfaction, and workforce diversity, all while reducing environmental impact. But the performance gains rest on these seven digital pivot points:
Infrastructure: Technology-related assets and capabilities should balance cybersecurity and data privacy with the business's ability to ramp capacity up or down depending on demand.
Data: Siloed, unused data on products/services and operations should be gathered and analysed with the goal of optimising efficiency, revenue growth, and customer engagement.
Talent and skillsets: Training and recruiting programmes should be retooled to allow rapid access to talent and skillsets according to need.
Outside resources: The business should tap external business partners, such as research and development organisations, tech incubators, and startups, where they find resources such as technology, intellectual property, and people.
Organisational processes: Company workflows should be updated and expanded to put human and technological resources to best use.
Customer experience: Digital and human customer interactions should be coordinated business-wide to ensure a seamless customer experience.
Business model: Business models and revenue streams should be optimised and expanded to ensure the business is able to adapt to changing economic environments and market conditions.

Q: Two statements about solutions of linear ODE
Let $y'+p(x)y=g(x)$ where $p(x),g(x)$ are continuous on $\mathbb{R}$
and suppose $y_1,y_2$ are two solutions to the given ODE. Let
$x_0\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $y_1(x_0)>y_2(x_0)$. Determine whether the following statements are true or false:

*

*$y_1(x)>y_2(x)$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}$

*It is possible that there exists $x_1\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $y_1(x_1)=y_2(x_1)$

My initial thought was that the first statement is true and the second is false. The second is false due to uniqueness theorem (if $y_1(x_1)=y_2(x_1)$ then $y_1=y_2$ which contradicts that $y_1(x_0)>y_2(x_0)$). Then the first statement is true because otherwise (that is if $y_1(x_1)<y_2(x_1)$ for some $x_1\in\mathbb{R}$) the functions $y_1,y_2$ must intersect (I suppose they are continuous?). But then I'm not sure that the uniqueness theorem works here (we only know that $p(x),g(x)$ are continuous). Any suggestions?

A: Uniqueness holds for solutions of ODE with continuous coefficients when the coefficient of the highest derivative is never 0, as in this case.
Your reasoning is correct.

A: Since this is a linear equation, you have an explicit formula for the possible solutions so you don't need to rely on a general existence and uniqueness theorem. If $y_1,y_2$ are solutions to your equation then $y(x) = y_1(x) - y_2(x)$ is a solution to the linear homogeneous equation
$$ y'(x) + p(x)y(x) = 0. $$
If $y(x)$ satisfies the equation above on some interval $I$ containing $x_1 \in \mathbb{R}$, then multiplying the equation by the integrating factor $\exp \left( \int_{x_1}^x p(t) \, dt \right)$ we obtain
$$ y'(x)\exp \left( \int_{x_1}^x p(t) \, dt \right) + p(x)y(x)\exp \left( \int_{x_1}^x p(t) \, dt \right) =
\\
\left( y(x) \exp \left( \int_{x_1}^x p(t) \, dt \right) \right)' = 0. $$
Then, we must have
$$ y(x) = y(x_1) \exp \left( -\int_a^x p(t) \, dt \right). $$
The formula above shows that if $y_1(x_1) = y_2(x_1)$ then $y(x_1) = 0$ and so $y(x) \equiv 0$ on $I$ which implies that $y_1(x) \equiv y_2(x)$ on $I$. It also shows that if $y_1(x_1) > y_2(x_1)$ then $y(x) > 0$ for all $x \in I$ and so $y_1(x) > y_2(x)$ for all $x \in I$.

Attorney Michael J. Horvitz said he's always felt people who have had any success or good fortune have a responsibility to give back to the community, citing the Jewish principle of tikkun olam.
"Volunteering has been my way of trying to improve the community," he said. "I've been doing this in one way or another for as far back as I can remember, whether it's being engaged in some kind of group in school to try to help the community or to be on local boards and getting involved in organizations. I can't remember a time I wasn't involved in some of these activities."
Horvitz volunteers as a trustee of The Cleveland Orchestra, the Cleveland Clinic and The Frick Collection in New York City. He is a past trustee of Case Western Reserve University, The Cleveland Museum of Art, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, the Cleveland Chapter of the American Jewish Committee and the Montefiore Home. He also serves on a number of advisory committees, including the audit committee of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, investment committees of the David and Inez Myers Foundation and the Cleveland Foundation, and the visiting committee of the Department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
He said there wasn't one specific thing he's done in the community that he was most proud of, but he enjoys helping boards and organizations reach consensus on plans that need to be accomplished.
"Overall, the process of trying to figure out the right thing to do and helping to get it done is the most rewarding thing to me," Horvitz said.
For Horvitz, volunteering has made him more sensitive and more understanding of the needs of others.
"(Volunteering has) helped me to recognize the different perspectives people have as they approach the issues facing institutions," he said.
He said he has no intention of stopping his volunteer activities, as he enjoys it and feels he gets more out of it than the organizations he helps do.
"I will continue to do it as long as I'm able to," he said. "I have this disease where I have a hard time saying 'no.' The trick is not to take on too many things, but I end up doing that anyway."
He said his best piece of advice for young people looking to get involved in the community is the long-running Nike slogan: Just do it.
"Cleveland happens to be a great community for volunteer and community activity," he said. "All the local organizations are looking for people who want to be involved; all you have to do is raise your hand. If you're interested in doing the work and being involved, you can do it."
He suggested young people focus on things that interest them.
"That's the greatness of America," he said. "Some people like hospitals, some people like educational institutions, some people like social service agencies. There's no shortage of good causes and things to get involved in. A lot of it is personal decision."

SON MURDERS TRADITIONAL RULER, DUMP HIS CORPSE INSIDE PIT TOILET, SEE WHY
Community leaders say strange forces behind incident
•Wife narrates how tragedy occurred
By Ike Uchechukwu
EKPRI IKOT ENE— DISASTER struck, penultimate Monday, at Ekpri Ikot Ene community, Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River State, when an enraged 23-year-old son butchered his father, who is the village head, HRH Francis Ekpo Ene, and dumped his remains inside the family's pit toilet for persistently accusing him of stealing his money without facts.
From L-R: Killed, HRH Ene, Village Head of Ekpri Ikot Ene, the pit toilet and the suspect, Francis Ekpo Jnr.,
NDV gathered that killer-son (Francis Ekpo Jnr.) supposedly acted under a powerful and diabolical influence, as he was not known to be a violent person before the sacrilegious incident.
How it happened—Wife
The wife of the deceased, Mrs. Affiong Offiong Asuquo, who spoke to NDV, said signs of trouble emerged in the household when an unnoticeable amount of money, sometimes between N20, 000 to N50, 000 started disappearing from the safe in the bedroom of the late ruler.
Her words: "The problem started when my husband's money started missing and he had always thought that it was his first son, who was responsible for the theft, not knowing that he was not the person involved, and he had always denied being the one. The height was when he sold his oil and kept N90,000 in a Nido milk can and the money got missing again, he was really angry because he could not fathom why such an amount of money could get missing in his house."
She confided in NDV that the money was actually being stolen by their daughter, who after her escapade, disappeared to her boyfriend's place and returned after they exhausted the cash, pretending as she knew nothing and the late villager head would rail accusations on the epileptic son.
She said the boy had always said: "One day, I will steal your money since you are accusing me of what I did not do. He had also been cursing that one day; I will slaughter you and throw you inside the toilet for accusing me wrongly.' All these came to pass that night as the father started shouting at him to provide the money he took from his room, the boy got angry and picked up a cutlass and pursued his father as I tried to intervene, he almost cut me," the widow said.
She further explained: "I had to call for help, I went out to call people, including the youth leader because it was a bit late at night, before I came back with the people in a matter of minutes, the deed had already been done, he had already killed his father and dumped him inside the pit toilet behind the house."
Blood trace
She added : "When I came back with the people I went to seek help from, they asked him where his father was, he replied that he does not know, so they started searching for him, then they saw a blood trail, which they followed right to the pit toilet and saw that he has butchered the monarch with a little flesh just holding his head to his neck, pushed off the mud which covered part of the toilet so that the opening could allow the lifeless body into the toilet."
Speaking further, she told NDV that they apprehended him and handed him over to the Police and her husband embalmed in the house.
At the deceased's residence
Meanwhile, when NDV reporter got to the house of the village head, his kinsmen, including the children were seen eating.
One of her daughters, Favour Francis Ekpo, said: "She was not around when the incident took place, but she knew that her elder brother and father had have little issues for some time.
She further asserted: "I was called on the phone when the incident took place because I was not at home I only came back to see what happened."
"Traditional coup"
A community leader, who pleaded anonymity, told NDV that no village head had ever died under such circumstances in Ekpri Ikot Ene, noting: "It is really unfortunate that this happened like this."
The chief observed that the sad incident was not ordinary because Francis Jnr was not
