The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded new Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) grants to support eight collaborations across the United States aimed at fostering cutting-edge materials research while increasing diversity. Each award is expected to total nearly $4 million and will support a materials research partnership between a minority-serving institution (MSI) and a large-scale research facility supported by NSF's Division of Materials Research (DMR).
The PREM for Functional Nanomaterials is led by the Department of Physics & Engineering at Fort Lewis College (FLC; a Native American-Serving, Nontribal Institutions), together with Norfolk State University (NSU; a member of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities), and the STROBE NSF Science and Technology Center for Real-Time Functional Imaging headquartered at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The partnership will enhance the educational, research, and career preparation experiences around material science for all students, but particularly traditionally underrepresented populations. As a Native American-Serving, Nontribal Institution with a significant Latinx population and advanced teaching and research facilities housed within a new $35 million building, Fort Lewis College is well suited to help the National Science Foundation reach its research and diversity goals.
"We are very excited about the opportunities this affords our students, as well as expanding our partnerships with great collaborators across the country," says Ryan Haaland, chair of the FLC Department of Physics & Engineering. "This is an opportunity for our students to conduct cutting-edge research that spans disciplines and allows them to develop experiences and connections that create further opportunities for their future."
Each institution brings their own scientific strengths to the table. STROBE is a cutting-edge imaging science and technology center, NSU has world-class capabilities in material growth and synthesis, and FLC offers the expertise and infrastructure for material characterization and nanofabrication.
Essentially, the PREM for Functional Nanomaterials will study and fabricate substances that are measured in the nanometer realm. For context, the thickness of a strand of DNA measures around two nanometers. The applications for such research are broad, from medicine to energy. One area that Fort Lewis College researchers are working on is using the campus' scanning electron microscope to study nanomaterials that could improve the efficiency of solar panels.
The PREM partnerships will provide pathways for recruitment, retainment, and degree-attainment of underrepresented minorities in materials research professions across the U.S. Over the next six years, PREM will fund approximately 70 undergraduate researchers at Fort Lewis College and Norfolk State University, in addition to 20-25 high school researchers. Additionally, students will have access to research mentors, guided research experiences, professional development activities, a peer support network, and leadership opportunities. The goal is to engage student researchers early and often during their academic efforts to encourage them to pursue careers in material science.
"The United States benefits from greater innovation and a more diverse materials workforce, one that will drive cutting-edge innovations in the decades to come," Linda Sapochak, director of NSF's Division of Materials Research, said in an NSF release. "Now in its second decade, PREM brings innovative research teams that may lack the resources of larger institutions into fully reciprocal collaborations with some of NSF's leading materials research facilities."

WATCH: Kyrie Irving appears to stomp on Celtics' logo after Nets' Game 4 win in Boston
WATCH: Kyrie Irving appears to stomp on Celtics' logo after Nets' Game 4 win in Boston
Alex Barth May 30th, 2021
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 30: Kyrie Irving #11 of the Brooklyn Nets dribbles the ball against the Boston Celtics during the first half of Game Four of the Eastern Conference first round series at TD Garden on May 30, 2021 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Kyrie Irving is no stranger to controversy in Boston. And while Celtics fans let him hear it almost non-stop for two games this weekend, he walked away with the last laugh.
In Sunday night's Game 3, Irving struggled in what was his first game in front of Celtics fans following his departure in 2019. However, he made up for that performance by putting on a show in Game 4 with 39 points and 11 rebounds. Yet despite that impressive performance, it was what he did postgame that caught the attention of C's fans the most.
While meeting up with his teammates following Brooklyn's 141-126 win, Irving appears to forcefully drag his foot across the head of the Celtics' mascot on the center court logo at TD Garden.
Kyrie appeared to step on the Boston logo as he greeted his teammates at half court postgame.

This wasn't the only moment Irving found himself in the spotlight postgame. As he walked off the court, a fan threw a water bottle in his direction.
As for the Celtics, the hope is they'll get Irving back in the building to face that logo at least one more time. The Nets can eliminate the Celtics with a win in Game 5 on Tuesday. That game will be played in the Barclays center in Brooklyn.

General Social Survey - Giving, Volunteering and Participating (GSS GVP)
General Social Survey - Giving, Volunteering and Participating (GSS GVP) Variable(s) Summary of changes Other reference periods Related products
Detailed information for 2013 (Cycle 27)
The two primary objectives of the General Social Survey (GSS) are: to gather data on social trends in order to monitor changes in the living conditions and well-being of Canadians over time; and to provide information on specific social policy issues of current or emerging interest.
The purpose of this survey is to collect data regarding unpaid volunteer activities, charitable giving and participation. The results will help build a better understanding of these activities which can in turn be used to help develop programs and services.
Data release - January 30, 2015; October 13, 2020 (revised data)
Questionnaire(s) and reporting guide(s)
This survey is the result of a partnership of federal government departments and voluntary sector organizations that includes Canadian Heritage, Health Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, Canada Revenue Agency, Statistics Canada, Imagine Canada, and Volunteer Canada. This survey is an important source of information on Canadian contributory behavior, including giving, volunteering and participating.
The objectives of the survey are threefold:
1) to collect national data to fill a void of information about individual contributory behaviors including volunteering, charitable giving and civic participation;
2) to provide reliable and timely data to the System of National Accounts;
3) to inform both the public and voluntary sectors in policy and program decisions that relate to the charitable and volunteer sector.
This record is part of the General Social Survey (GSS) program. The GSS originated in 1985. Each survey contains a core topic, focus or exploratory questions and a standard set of socio-demographic questions used for classification. More recent cycles have also included some qualitative questions, which explore intentions and perceptions.
Society and community
Unpaid work
Volunteering and donating
The target population for the 2013 General Social Survey is all non-institutionalized persons 15 years of age or older, living in the ten provinces of Canada.
The questionnaire was designed based on research and extensive consultations with data users. Qualitative testing, conducted by Statistics Canada's Questionnaire Design Resource Center (QDRC), was carried out, with respondents in four cities, representing three provinces, who were screened in based on representative criteria. Questions which worked well and others that needed clarification or redesign were highlighted. QDRC staff compiled a detailed report of the results along with their recommendations. All comments and feedback from qualitative testing were carefully considered and incorporated into the survey when possible.
The sample is based on a stratified design employing probability sampling. The stratification is done at the province/census metropolitan area (CMA) level. Information is collected from one randomly selected household member aged 15 or older, and proxy responses are not permitted. Due to the potential difficulties in reaching volunteers as a result of their relatively low prevalence in the population, an approach called 'rejective sampling' was chosen as part of the sample design.
Data collection for this reference period: 2013-09-03 to 2013-12-31
Data were collected using CATI. First contact was made by telephone.
No proxy reporting was allowed. The respondents had the choice between French and English. The average time to complete the survey was 44 minutes.
Tax derived files (CSDD environment).
By linking data, we are aiming to obtain better quality data for income (personal and household).
Questions relating to income show rather high non-response rates, the incomes reported by respondents are usually rough estimates. Linking will allow getting such information without having to ask questions.
The information collected during the 2013 GSS was linked to the personal tax records (T1, T1FF or T4) of respondents, and tax records of all household members. Household information (address, postal code, and telephone number), respondent's information (social insurance number, surname, name, date of birth/age, sex) and information on other members of the household (surname, name, age, sex and relationship to respondent) were key variables for the linkage.
Respondents were notified of the planned linkage before and during the survey. Any respondents who objected to the linkage of their data had their objections recorded, and no linkage to their tax data took place.
View the Questionnaire(s) and reporting guide(s) .
Error detection
Processing used the SSPE set of generalized processing steps and utilities to allow subject matter and survey support staff to specify and run the processing of the survey in a timely fashion with high quality outputs.
It used a structured environment to monitor the processing of data ensuring best practices and harmonized business processes were followed.
Edits were performed automatically and manually at various stages of processing at macro and micro levels. They included family, consistency and flow edits. Family relationships were checked to ensure the integrity of matrix data. A series of checks was done to ensure the consistency of survey data. An example was to check the respondent age against the respondent birth date. Flow edits were used to ensure respondents followed the correct path and fix off-path situations.
Error detection was done through edits programmed into the CATI system.
The CATI data capture program allowed a valid range of codes for each question and built-in edits, and automatically follows the flow of the questionnaire.
All survey records were subjected to computer edits throughout the course of the interview. The CATI system principally edited the flow of the questionnaire and identified out of range values. As a result, such problems were immediately resolved with the respondent. If the interviewer was unable to correctly resolve the detected errors, the interviewer bypassed the edit and forwarded the data to head office for resolution. All interviewer comments were reviewed and taken into account by head office editing.
Head office performed the same checks as the CATI system as well as the more detailed edits discussed previously.
In the case of the GVP, donor imputation was used to fill in missing data for some item and partial non-response.
All imputations involved donor records that were selected using a score function. For each item non-response or partial non-response record (also called a recipient record), certain characteristics were compared to those from all potential donor records. When a characteristic was the same for a donor record and the recipient record, a value was added to the score of that donor. The donor record with the highest score was deemed the "closest" donor and was chosen to fill in missing pieces of information of the non-respondent. If there was more than one donor record with the highest score, a random selection occurred.
Imputation was done in six steps. The first three steps related to imputation of variables on the Main file. The first step was to impute both personal and household income. The second step was to impute the hours volunteered by activity for the main organization. The third step was to impute the total hours volunteered for the second and third organizations and the total hours volunteered for all other organizations combined. The fourth step was to impute variables on the Giving (GS) file related to amount donated. This step also included creating additional GS file records for cases where a value for GS_Q07 was imputed as "yes". The fifth step was to impute, on the Main file, missing data in any of the variables indicating whether the respondent made a donation in response to each of the 13 methods of solicitation. At this stage, imputation was performed only for cases which were already known to be givers. This step also included creating additional GS records for cases where one or more of FG_Q03 to FG_Q15 was imputed as "yes". The sixth step was to impute partially completed records where the donor status could not be determined because of missing values in FG_Q03 to FG_Q15. A total of 88 variables were imputed. This last step again included creating additional GS file records for cases where any of FG_Q03 to FG_Q15 was imputed as "yes".
The GVP imputation process worked well and helped to fill incomplete responses with the experience of other respondents with similar or identical characteristics. This adds to the number of units used in any analysis performed by researchers.
When a probability sample is used, as was the case for the GSS, the principle behind estimation is that each person selected in the sample represents (in addition to himself/herself) several other persons not in the sample. For example, in a simple random sample of 2% of the population, each person in the sample represents 50 persons in the population (himself/herself and 49 others). The number of persons represented by a given respondent is usually known as the weight or weighting factor. Furthermore, in order to adjust for the 'rejecting' of a proportion of respondents that are not volunteers, the person weight for respondents that are not 'rejected' and are not volunteers is multiplied by a factor. Finally, the weights were adjusted so that the weighted income distribution of GVP matched the 2012 SLID distribution by province
The 2013 GSS GVP was a survey of individuals and the analytic files contain questionnaire responses and associated information from 14,714 respondents.
A weighting factor is available on the microdata file:
WGHT_PER: This is the basic weighting factor for analysis at the person level, i.e. to calculate estimates of the number of persons (non-institutionalized and aged 15 or over) having one or several given characteristics.
In addition to the estimation weights, bootstrap weights have been created for the purpose of design-based variance estimation.
Quality evaluation
Quality assurance measures were implemented at every collection and processing step. Measures such as recruitment of qualified interviewers, training provided to interviewers for specific survey concepts and procedures, observations of interviews to correct questionnaire design problems and instruction misinterpretations, procedures to ensure that data captures are minimized and edit quality checks to verify the processing logics. Data are verified to ensure internal consistency and they are also compared to previous survey results to ensure historical continuity.
The weighted income distribution of the GSS GVP was compared with the distribution of income according 2012 Survey of Labor and Income Dynamics (SLID) data. This validation exercise resulted in the adjustment of weights so that the distribution of the weighted income of the GSS GVP corresponds to the 2012 SLID distribution by province.
Estimates related to volunteering and donations were compared with those obtained during the previous iterations of the survey to evaluate the coherence and overall reasonableness of trends. Estimates were also compared to estimates from other surveys and administrative data bases on the same topics.
The estimates were also submitted to recognized external experts through an advance release procedure for purposes of data validation, in accordance with the Work in progress agreements (WIP).
This methodology does not apply to this survey.
The methodology of this survey has been designed to limit the number of errors and to reduce their potential effects. However, the results of the survey remain subject to both sampling and non-sampling error.
As the data are based on a sample of persons, they are subject to sampling error. That is, estimates based on a sample will vary from sample to sample, and typically they will be different from the results that would have been obtained from a complete census. More precise estimates of the sampling variability of estimates can be produced with the bootstrap method using bootstrap weights that have been created for this survey. The bootstrap method was used to estimate the sampling variability for all of the estimates produced based on the data from the 2013 GSS GVP. Estimates with high sampling variability are indicated in this publication and all of the highlighted differences between subgroups of the population are significant at the 5% level.

Sadler's Wells is a world-leading dance house, presenting an exciting programme of dance of every kind: from tango to hip hop, flamenco, contemporary dance and many more. Located in Islington, north London, Sadler's Wells has been presenting theatrical productions on that site since 1683 and today welcomes over half a million people each year. The theatre building in Rosebery Avenue features two performance spaces: the main auditorium, seating 1500, and the smaller Lilian Baylis Studio.
Over the 300 years of occupying the site, the theatre has undergone several alterations and was largely rebuilt in 1998. Following 15 years or year-round operation, by 2014 the building was in need of essential repairs, including a programme of technical, lighting, plant and systems' replacement, to increase its resilience and improve the overall visitor experience. As part of this project, Sadler's Wells recognised the need to update its existing digital signage solution.
Something Sadler's Wells was keen to avoid was to have digital signage players fixed to the back of every screen, with visible power supplies and network cables; hardware that makes for a very untidy and unsightly installation.
"We looked at a number of solutions and felt that the Tripleplay system was the one providing the highest quality in terms of picture, the tidiest in terms of implementation, most flexible to help us develop in the future and positioned at a good price point. We believe that our decision has been justified by the end product," added Ray.
Sadler's Wells now has over 60 screens in place throughout the building: in the main foyer, ticket office, café, security and reception desk, in dressing rooms and backstage areas. Digital signage channels are used to promote a variety of upcoming shows and events as well as streaming live performances from either of the two stages. The streams can be viewed on any screen, which allows performers to watch live as well as ensuring that patrons arriving late do not miss the show.
Ray Ho added: "The visual impact of the system is fantastic, it draws the eye of our customers and holds their attention, making it a key part of the marketing mix, reiterating messages and confirming the brand identity", a key component of any successful digital signage story.
In the future Sadler's Wells plan on adding digital menu boards to bar areas, with full Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) integration and the addition of live broadcast TV for dressing rooms, further enhancing visitor experience.
Sadler's Wells solution was implemented by Tripleplay through authorised AV integrator partner, Reflex Limited.

The winning numbers for Friday's draw were 15, 18, 19, 41 and 42, with Euro numbers 4 and 6. The jackpot had hit its €90 million cap following a run of seven straight rollovers, and only one ticket from across all 18 participating countries matched the full winning line.
It was quickly announced that the winning entry had been sold in Finland, and Veikkaus later released more details. The lucky ticket was purchased at K-Supermarket Delicatessen in Siilinjärvi and was part of a system entry.
Systems allow players to enter multiple lines more easily on one ticket, and are very popular with syndicates. The group that won on Friday consisted of 50 members, and the leader of the syndicate quickly got in touch with Veikkaus over the weekend to find out more about claiming the prize from the lottery headquarters in Helsinki.
Payout of Almost €92 Million
As the winning ticket was part of a system, the lucky syndicate also had two 'Match 5 + 1' wins worth €939,388 each, plus several minor wins, adding up to a total payout of almost €92 million. The Finnish syndicate can therefore claim to be Eurojackpot's biggest winners ever, even though several jackpots of €90 million have been won in the past.
Congratulating the winners, Anu Kytö, the executive vice-president of Veikkaus' gambling division, said: "It is so wonderful that we were once again lucky to win our biggest Eurojackpot win in Finland! Warm congratulations to both the winner and the lucky retailer."
It is the 16th time that the top prize has been in Finland, but the first since a player from Espoo landed €18 million in November 2018.
The jackpot will now drop to its minimum level of €10 million for the next draw on Friday 30th August. You can buy tickets from authorised retailers or take part online, and you could just follow in the footsteps of the Finnish syndicate by winning a multimillion-Euro jackpot.

Q: Using interactive's shell history expansion inside a script I have the following Bash script
set -o histexpand
set -o history
pwd
lc="!!"

which, when I run it in an interactive shell, prints
/home/user
lc="pwd"

I'd like to, instead of getting lc=pwd, get the last command used in the interactive shell by using history expansion. So if I run echo foo; ./script, I hope to get
/home/user
lc="echo foo"

I tried to set -H in the script and it doesn't work.

A: Using the shell's history expansion for getting the commands executed in the shell session previous to running your script  would not be doable unless the invoking shell saves its history to $HISTFILE after each executed command, which bash does not do by default, and exported the HISTFILE variable, which it does not need to do.
By default, the bash shell maintains an in-memory history for the current interactive shell session.  This history is saved to $HISTFILE when the shell session exits.  When a new session that enables command line history starts, the saved history is read from that file (assuming that new shell uses the same $HISTFILE value).
Your script, unless it has the HISTFILE variable inherited from its invoking environment, will at most be able to access command line history of its own session, i.e. the commands in the script.  If HISTFILE is exported, but if the invoking shell never saved its history to $HISTFILE before running the script, it would be impossible to get at the in-memory history of that parent shell session, and you would at most be able to access the historical history of sessions long since dead.

Game of Thrones fans are freaking out that Sophie Turner has inadvertently let slip that her character may not survive the end of the show.
The actress, who plays Sansa Stark, uploaded a photo onto Instagram that seemed to suggest that her character dies.
The behind the scenes snap was taken during filming for the eighth season of the show, based on the Song of Ice and Fire books by George RR Martin.
Sophie, 23, can be seen looking pretty lifeless - she's lying down with her eyes closed and mouth open a little - and fans are in turmoil that this signifies the end of Sansa.
One replied with the message: "You definitely look dead here but okay"
According to Sophie, there's a more innocent meaning to the pic - either that or she wanted to wind her fans up.
She was simply catching some Z's in between filming.
She captioned the snap: "In honour of the final season of Thrones premiering tonight .... Here's a picture of me asleep on set."
Viewers watched on Monday's season opener as Lady of the North Sansa frostily welcomed Daenerys Targaryen and her army to Winterfell.
The scene saw the Stark family, including Arya, Bran and Jon Snow, together for the first time since season one.
The armies are joining together to fight the Night King and his army of the dead, which have broken through the Wall.
Game of Thrones airs Monday at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.

Flatmates v Zombies returns to life with plans to invade London
Anne Cox | July 18, 2016 | News | No Comments
The creators of a bilingual UK-Korean KPop/rock comedy zombie horror musical set in London are planning a 2017 return to the West End and a run in Seoul.
Flatmates v Zombies premiered in 2013 through a partnership between White Hyun Ju Baek, an MA Musical Theatre student at Goldsmiths, University of London and writer Chris Hogg. It made its sold-out debut at the Camden Fringe Festival before transferring to the Tristan Bates Theatre, Covent Garden.
Three years later and with two new characters, the remake – Flatmates v Zombies II – is now in development, with a Korean director, and British lyricists and composers writing the score.
Through two teams working together, but 5,000 miles apart, FVZ II is a real monster mash-up of creative sensibilities. With a less-than-subtle satirical take on current affairs, a poignant message, and loads of blood and guts, it's now set for production in both languages and in both countries.
The story beings during a disastrous rooftop protest in Seoul before moving to London, where Ji-Eun – the only survivor – comes to start a new life. Everything's fabulous, until all the native Londoners suddenly turn into walking, flesh-eating, corpses.
Only those born abroad are unaffected. For Ji-Eun and her European student flatmates this leaves them with a dilemma. Do they try and escape the city they love, or try to save it?
What would you do if the country you call home turns against you?
Cast: Arthur Lee, Francesca Reid, Adam Courting, Anthony Chisholm, João Carvalho, Martyna Baker, Judy Lee, Connah Andrew, Matt Colyer.
Writer Chris Hogg, a Goldsmiths alumnus, novelist, poet, actor and entrepreneur, said: "At each step of the process, the difference between our cultures has been celebrated.
"Putting this musical together has been an absolute blast. We've created a show that works equally well in both cultures and used those differences to our advantage. Each confusion has helped us be original."
"If you're Korean you will read what you see one way, and if you're British you'll get a different story.
"We adore Korean quirkiness, but we hope to bring a musical story that goes beyond that. The UK's ready to move past Gangnam Style.
"Sometimes cities have more in common with each other than the countries they reside in, and we see Flatmates v Zombies II as two cities singing to each other.
"It's about so much more than just flesh-eating zombies. Essentially, it asks whether the London dream really exists, and do you have to be from overseas to really appreciate that dream?"
Hyun Ju Baek, co-creator and director says: "We love musicals in South Korea; we have dozens running at any one time.
"It was my dream to come here, yet when I got here from Asia, I found Londoners so strange. This must be the experience of many people coming to London for the first time, so it became the inspiration for the story. We definitely see tourists in London loving this show."
Producer and dramaturg Richard Shannon, who teaches on the MA in Musical Theatre, added: "When we began working on the project we had no idea that the themes that we were writing about would become so prescient.
"What began as a joyous comic romp has become pressing satire. Written two years before Brexit, this musical has come of age, and is a grassroots project that we hope won't become more difficult in future."
A venue for the production and casting will be announced at a later date.

Q: random/sequential numbers in JQ (or workaround) IIUC jq does not support random numbers at the moment. I have script producing lines, where each line is JSON. I need to pipe it to jq to transform the data, and output pipe yet further. The problem is, that I need as a part of jq transformation to set some field to some random/sequential value. And since the jq is invoked just once and processes streamed data, I cannot supply random value from bash, as it would be not random, but always the same.
Is there a workaround/solution for this?
Comment: maybe I could use some constant in place of random value, and then replace externally, but if I pipe jq output even to: while read R;do ...;done then the data are available only after whole input is processed, which is not possible, every line has to be processed asap. Maybe this is just a incorrect bash usage? If so, do you know how to fix that? EDIT: ok, so that is solved by --unbuffered parameter. So this is one workaroudnd. If you know better, please share.
example of invocation of my nasty workaround:
cat | jq --unbuffered -c '.random="PLACEHOLDER"' | while read R; do echo $R | sed "s/PLACEHOLDER/$RANDOM/";done | sed "s/^/anotherScriptMock/"

and start entering valid jsons like {}

A:
I cannot supply random value from bash, as it would be not random, but always the same.

That is a bit harsh.  The wikipedia article "List of random number generators" has two sections that give relevant listings:

*

*Random number generators that use external entropy

*Random number servers

If your requirements are not too stringent, you might find that several of these are sufficient for your purposes.  On a Linux or OSX system you might like to start with /dev/random, e.g. in conjunction with od or GNU shuf (sometimes available as gshuf):
shuf -i 0-1000 -n 1 --random-source=/dev/random

(You will probably want to use -r ("with replacement") if the value following -n is greater than 1.)
If you don't mind a web-based server, https://www.random.org/ has a bunch of services, e.g. you could start with this template:
jq -n --argjson r $(curl -Ss "https://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=0&max=100000&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new") '
  {random: $r}'

Running this just now produced:
{
  "random": 41051
}

And running the exact same program a second time produced:
{
  "random": 7358
}

Example: .range=PLACEHOLDER
Suppose the file data.json contains a stream of JSON objects:
{}
{}
{}

Then a run of the following bash commands produced the output as shown below:
n=$(stream | jq -n 'reduce inputs as $x (0; .+1)')
gshuf -i 0-100 -r -n $n --random-source=/dev/random |
  jq -cnR --slurpfile stream data.json '$stream[] | .random=input'

Output:
{"random":"17"}
{"random":"69"}
{"random":"81"}

A: Generating a fixed number of (sufficiently) random numbers to serve as input to jq is dealt with elsewhere on this page.  This response deals with the case when the jq program must have access to an unbounded ("infinite") sequence of such numbers.
Consider then this generator of an unbounded sequence of strings of "random" hexadecimal digits of length 8:
od -t x -An /dev/random | tr -d " " | fold -w 8

(On many systems, this produces a cryptographically secure stream.)
There are several ways to feed this into jq.  One is simply to use input, e.g.
od -t x -An /dev/random | tr -d " " | fold -w 8 |
 jq -nRc '[range(0;5) | input]'

produced:
["54a4bdb9","13b6ed75","86bbe494","79b192f5","43f801c8"]

If the task of the jq program is to produce an unbounded stream of such quintuplets, consider this variation:
od -t x -An /dev/random | tr -d " " | fold -w 8 |
  jq -nRc 'repeat( [limit(5;inputs)] )'

Example: .random = PLACEHOLDER
Using the same data.json as shown elsewhere on this page, a run of the following bash commands produced the output shown below:
od -t x -An /dev/random | tr -d " " | fold -w 8 |
  jq -nRc --slurpfile stream data.json '$stream[] | .random=input'

Output:
{"random":"79c434e6"}
{"random":"28797cf9"}
{"random":"90a8813d"}

A: In this answer, we focus on the .random = PLACEHOLDER example given in the Q, and assume that the input stream of objects is infinite, or too long or too large to "slurp" (e.g. using --slurpfile).
In order to avoid calling jq more than once (or twice if the input stream is NOT presented in JSONLines format), we will have to generate the random numbers on demand, i.e. in a loop.
Assuming that stream generates the (possibly infinite) stream of JSON objects of interest in JSONLines format (as posited by the Q), we can write:
stream | while read -r obj ; do
    echo "$obj"
    gshuf -i 0-100 -n 1 --random-source=/dev/random
done | jq -nc 'repeat(input |  (.random = input))?'

(To test this, one could replace stream by jq -n 'repeat({})', which generates an unbounded stream of empty JSON objects.)
The trick here is to use ? to avoid raising an "end of stream" error in case the stream stream is finite.
If stream does not produce the JSON objects in JSONLines format, then one could replace stream by stream | jq --unbuffered -c ., which of course means that the solution requires invoking jq twice.

A: jq can generate pseudo-random numbers if one initial random number is provided (--argjson initialRandomNumber).
I used a slightly modified version of the function nextRandomNumber from Rosettacode jq: random numbers to generate pseudo-random numbers as shown in the following code.
The function takes a parameter $state and delivers a newState in the response for a subsequent call of nextRandomNumber.
If a number in the range [0 .. 32767] is not sufficient, you can have a look at jq : Generate UUID in field where I added a small collection of random functions for jq to generate UUID, random string, random numbers and arrays of these.
Passing $RANDOM$RANDOM instead of $RANDOM is intended to increase the range for the initial pseudo-random value.
#!/bin/bash

jq -n '{id: (range(10) + 1)}' |   # create stream of json
jq -n --argjson initialRandomNumber "$RANDOM$RANDOM" '
  # 15-bit integers generated using the same formula as rand() from the Microsoft C Runtime.
  # The random numbers are in [0 -- 32767] inclusive.
  #
  # Input:
  #   first call:      $state = a random number provided to jq by parameter
  #   subsequent call: $state = "newState" from last response
  #
  # Output:
  #   object with pseudo-random number and "newState" for a subsequent call.
  def nextRandomNumber($state):
    ( (214013 * $state) + 2531011) % 2147483648 # mod 2^31
    | { newState: ., randomNumber: (. / 65536 | floor) };

  foreach inputs as $input (nextRandomNumber($initialRandomNumber);
                            nextRandomNumber(.newState);
                            $input + {randomNumber})
'

output
{
  "id": 1,
  "randomNumber": 24271
}
{
  "id": 2,
  "randomNumber": 5840
}
{
  "id": 3,
  "randomNumber": 3059
}

(...)

{
  "id": 10,
  "randomNumber": 24864
}


Evidence shows that there are enduring diversity challenges within the school leadership workforce. Although women make up 78% of teachers in the Yorkshire and Humber region, only approximately 36% of Headteachers are women. This programme has been developed in partnership with the Yorkshire and Humber Diversity Steering Group to tackle such equality and diversity challenges and is for women leaders currently considering application to Deputy Headship or Headship (primary or secondary phase).

De R22 wordt ook weleens de Tweede Ring rond Brussel genoemd (in het Frans: Ceinture Est). Naast de Grote Ring (R0), de Kleine Ring (R20) en de Middenring (R21) is dit de vierde ringweg van Brussel. De weg ligt voor het grootste deel tussen de R21 en R0 in, maar komt in Machelen en Vilvoorde buiten de R0; de weg fungeert eveneens als ringweg rond deze twee plaatsen. De R22, zo'n 23 km lang, vormt geen volledige lus. De snelheidslimiet varieert tussen 70 en 90 km/u. In de omgeving van knooppunt Zaventem is er een stuk waar 100 km/u toegestaan is.

Traject

De R22 begint aan de Cokeriestraat in Vilvoorde en loopt via Machelen en het knooppunt Zaventem naar Brussel. In Brussel kruist de weg onder andere de N2 (Leuvensesteenweg), de A3, de N3 (Tervurenlaan), de N4 (Waverse Steenweg), de A4 en de N24 (F. Rooseveltlaan), en eindigt aan de N5 (Waterloosesteenweg).

Straatnamen
In Machelen, Vilvoorde en Grimbergen heet de weg "Woluwelaan". De weg loopt dan ook grotendeels langs het riviertje de Woluwe, en verbindt de gemeenten Sint-Pieters-Woluwe, Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe en Sint-Stevens-Woluwe, ook ernaar vernoemd.
In Brussel heeft de R22 van noord naar zuid de volgende straatnamen:
 Woluwelaan
 Vorstlaan
 Delleurlaan
 Terhulpensesteenweg

Geschiedenis
De Woluwelaan werd in verschillende periodes aangelegd. Het gedeelte tussen de Tervurenlaan en Oudergem is het alleroudste en werd aangelegd in de jaren 80 van de 19e eeuw. Rond de eeuwwisseling volgde het gedeelte ten zuiden van Oudergem. Op dit moment was er nog geen sprake van een 'ringweg' of R22. Dit deel werd aangelegd als stadsboulevard.

Het grootste deel van de R22 werd pas na de Tweede Wereldoorlog aangelegd. Het eerste deel hiervan, tussen de Kerklaan in Machelen en de Tenaertslaan in Diegem, werd aangelegd tussen 1947 en 1949, nadat de Woluwe er overwelfd werd in de tweede helft van de jaren 30. Het tweede gedeelte dat werd opengesteld, van de Tenaertslaan tot het huidige knooppunt Zaventem, toen een rotonde, werd aangelegd tussen 1951 en 1958. Tegelijkertijd begon men tussen het latere knooppunt Zaventem en de Tervurenlaan met de 'sanering' van de Woluwevallei. Deze operatie werd geleid door de Intercommunale voor de Gezondmaking van de Woluwevallei, die ook de kanalisering en overwelving van de Woluwe in Diegem en Machelen had geleid.

In 1970 was het gedeelte van de Tervurenlaan tot Rijmelgem (een gehucht ten noorden van Sint-Stevens-Woluwe) geopend, maar waren de werken aan de verbinding met de Grote Ring (knooppunt Zaventem) nog aan de gang. In 1976 wordt ook dit gedeelte geopend, waarbij het knooppunt Zaventem heraangelegd werd van de voorgaande rotonde tot de huidige configuratie. Hierbij kreeg de Woluwelaan ten noordoosten van het knooppunt een nieuwe, meer noordelijke bedding en kwam de rijrichting richting Vilvoorde in een tunnel onder de Brusselse Grote Ring terecht. Ook werd in de jaren 70 het gedeelte tussen de Kerklaan (Machelen) en de Leuvensesteenweg (Vilvoorde) ter hoogte van Peutie aangelegd. In dezelfde beweging werd de Luchthavenlaan aangelegd, die een verbinding met de E19 moest verzorgen.

Een verdere verlenging van de Woluwelaan van Peutie tot het Grimbergse gehucht Verbrande Brug werd pas in de jaren 90 aangelegd. Hierdoor kreeg het noordelijke deel van de Woluwelaan zijn definitieve vorm als ringweg rond Vilvoorde.

Toekomst
Eind 2004 keurde de provinciale auditcommissie de streefbeeldstudie 'R22 - N211' goed. Op lange termijn stelt deze studie een herinrichting van de R22 voor waarbij verschillende kruisingen worden aangepast om de R22 veiliger te maken en de doorstroming te verbeteren. Zo zou op de kruising met de N211 (Luchthavenlaan) de huidige rotonde worden vervangen door een lichtengeregeld kruispunt en zou er bij de kruising met de Kerklaan in Machelen een tunnel worden aangelegd met even verder een gelijkvloers lichtengeregeld kruispunt bij de kruising met Viaductstraat. Momenteel wordt de Woluwelaan heraangelegd tussen Diegem en Machelen. Deze werken kaderen in het START-initiatief om de reconversie van oude bedrijfsterreinen en de tewerkstelling in de regio te bevorderen en passen in het streefbeeld uit 2004. Tegen 2019 wordt de R22 bij het knooppunt Machelen aangesloten op de R0 zodat afrit 5 van de R0 naar de Woluwelaan (en de Beaulieustraat aan de overzijde) afgesloten kunnen worden. Op langere termijn kan zo ook de aansluiting naar de R0 door Diegem vervallen.

Op middellange termijn (2020) wordt de aanleg van een tramlijn van Brabantnet voorzien die de Woluwelaan zal volgen tussen Machelen en de luchthaven.

Karyopherin a2 May Be Prognostic Indicator in Renal Cell Carcinoma
John Schieszer, MA
Karyopherin a2 (KPNA2) appears to be involved in the carcinogenesis of RCC and may function as a novel prognostic indicator.
German investigators have reported that Karyopherin a2 (KPNA2) appears to be involved in the carcinogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and may function as a novel prognostic indicator. Tim Müller, of the Institute of Pathology at the University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany and colleagues, reported in Clinical Genitourinary Cancer that higher tumor stage and higher tumor grade may be correlated with high KPNA2 expression.1The researchers theorize that KPNA2 expression could be used in the future to stratify risk groups among patients with RCC.
The authors note that KPNA2 is involved in carcinogenesis through translocation of cancer-associated cargo proteins. Müller and colleagues investigated the protein expression of KPNA2 in cancerous and healthy renal tissues to determine its prognostic value in patients with RCC. They used a quantitative image analysis software to examine KPNA2 protein expression via immunohistochemistry in 240 patients with RCC. As part of their investigation, they also analyzed gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
The team found KPNA2 expression is elevated in a subset of clear cell RCC (ccRCC) and papillary RCC (pRCC) patients. High KPNA2 protein expression was associated with higher tumor stage and International Society of Urologic Pathology grade in ccRCC. They also found a correlation between high KPNA2 protein expression and shorter overall survival (OS) in ccRCC. However, the prognostic value of KPNA2 was not confirmed by multivariate Cox regression analysis in which the researchers tested it in conjunction with strong prognostic factors (tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, International Society of Urologic Pathology grade, and resection status).

The Easiest Smokey Eye Tutorial with Only Two Shades!
Step 1: First, start by creating a thick, winged line on your upper lid with black eyeliner, we recommend bareMinerals Lasting Line Longwearing Eyeliner ($14.99) that it provides a maximum color intensity without smudging. Plus, with this product, the smoky eye looks can be created easily! Make sure you extend the wing, so it almost reaches the tail end of your brows. Line the lower lash line as well. Step 2: Dip a fluffy blending brush in your black shadow and buff out the cat eye Our TIGI Cosmetics Brush – Blending Brush ($10.99) is just perfect for the job! Buff out the shadow until it extends just past the crease of your eye.
Step 3: Now, apply some orange shade along the crease and make it slightly overlap with your black-Smokey lid. The Tigi Cosmetics HD Eyeshadow Palette ($48.99) has the perfect orange tone for it! Make sure you blend out the color slightly. For this, our TIGI Cosmetics Brush – Dome Shadow ($10.99) will be a great option! Apply the same orange shade to the lower lash line, so it overlaps with the black and blend the colors.
This quick beauty tip can come in handy year round!
In order to make eyes stand out, apply shimmer eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye. This technique has a brightening effect. It reduces the appearance of dark circles and is a great alternative to black eye liner around the eyes.
Try it out – day or night!
Traveling this Summer? Even better, moving to a new house? Hopefully you haven't been unfortunate enough to pack your favorite bronzer and eyeshadow only to find that it is cracked into a million shimmering pieces when you reach your destination. As seen here, the easiest quick fix is to lay a cotton pad or cotton ball flat on top of your cosmetics and close the case. This will keep the makeup in place and prevent breakage.
If you feel comfortable because your makeup already includes a pad, let me go one step further to recommend leaving those application pads OUT of your cases. They are great for when you're on the go, but they tend to soak up the natural oils in cosmetics making them dry out before you can use them. Only use the cotton pad/ball technique for transporting your goods!
Cosmetic companies do a great job of pairing stunning eyeshadow colors in a tempting palette. It is hard to choose one because they're all just so gorgeous! When you make your decision and bring it home you have even more decisions to make… "how am I going to use all of these pretty colors on one eye?". Here's a simple tutorial – how to use an eyeshadow palette.
Use the lightest color as the base. Brush this color from the lid up to your brow. Use the darkest color in the crease of your eye. Use the accent color (in this case, the light pink) in the inner corner of your lid. Use the remaining color on your outer lid. Blend them together a bit. For long lasting eyeshadow, first apply a primer or eyeshadow base.

Evan Bayh, who previously served as U.S. senator from Indiana, is now jumping into the 2016 race to retake the seat.
WASHINGTON - A Democratic corporate lobbyist is jumping into a Senate race to fill a seat made vacant by the retirement of a Republican corporate lobbyist.
The news is a major boon to Democrats, who are looking to retake the Senate, and also to people looking for evidence that the political system is deeply corrupt.
The general practice of rotating from public office into the private sector and back again is deeply ingrained, but one particular Indiana Senate seat has hosted more than its share of special interest romps. Since at least 1989, the seat has been occupied by either a former or a soon-to-be lobbyist.
Republican Dan Coats retired from his decade of service in the Senate in 1999 and became a lobbyist for banks, weapons makers and large technology firms. (Coats had been appointed to replace Dan Quayle, who gave up the seat to become the most ridiculed vice president of the second half of the 20th century.) He was replaced by Democrat Evan Bayh, the son of an extraordinarily popular progressive senator, Birch Bayh.
When Evan Bayh retired from the Senate in 2010, Coats returned to the seat. And now Coats is retiring a second time, so the seat is again available, and Bayh wants it. If Bayh wins, that means the seat's occupancy, dating to the 1960s, will go Bayh-Quayle-Coats-Bayh-Coats-Bayh.
Evan Bayh went out the first time with a widely read column in The New York Times condemning the Senate's dysfunction and promising he'd be returning to Indiana to teach. "I want to be engaged in an honorable line of work," he said in an interview at the time.
Bayh, apparently soothed of his concern about political dysfunction, signed up as a contributor to Fox News. He then joined the private equity firm Apollo and pushed against efforts to close the carried-interest loophole, which famously allows money managers to pay laughably low tax rates by pretending their income isn't income, but instead comes from capital gains, even if they don't put up their own money.
In addition, Bayh signed up with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest corporate lobby, to lead a PR campaign in opposition to regulations promulgated by the Obama administration. This effort sought to roll back or block the implementation of regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Securities and Exchange Commission and the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Given Bayh's family legacy and his own popularity, he has a reasonable shot at retaking the seat now, which would mean Democrats would control both Senate seats from Indiana despite the state typically trending Republican. Because of the way the Senate gives disproportionate power to small, rural states, which trend conservative ― Alaska and California, for instance, have the same level of representation ― Democrats, in order to control the chamber, need to hold on to seats in unlikely states such as Indiana.
Baron Hill, who had been the Democratic nominee for the seat, was trailing in the race badly and announced Monday that he would step aside, which will allow Bayh to take his place on the ballot.

Q: Как правильно составить запрос на извлечение данных? Есть две таблицы: Good(name, id) и GoodHasAttribute(good_id, attribute_id, value).
В таблице GoodHasAttribute хранятся значения атрибутов для каждого товара.
Мне нужно извлечь товары с указанными свойствами. В настоящий момент есть следующий запрос:
SELECT *
FROM Good t
JOIN GoodHasAttribute goodAttributes ON
(`goodAttributes`.`good_id`=`t`.`id`) and
(
((goodAttributes.attribute_id=1) AND (goodAttributes.value LIKE '%белый%')) or
((goodAttributes.attribute_id=3) AND (goodAttributes.value LIKE '%красный%'))
)

Он возвращает мне только те товары, в которых есть хотя бы один атрибут, но мне нужно с обеими.
Пока что придумал убрать группировку условий и or заменить на and, но в таком случае я также получу товары с атрибутами "attribute_id=1, value=красный" и "attribute_id=3, value=белый".
Какой запрос извлечет нужные мне данные?
A: надо использовать два join-а. примерно так:
SQL Fiddle
MySQL 5.6 Schema Setup:
create table g (id int, n text);
insert into g values
   (1, "товар1")
  ,(2, "товар2")
;

create table a (id int, g int, v text);
insert into a values
   (1, 1, "белый")
  ,(3, 1, "красный")
  ,(1, 2, "серый")
  ,(3, 2, "зелёный")
;

Query 1:
select *
 from g
join a a1
 on a1.g = g.id and a1.id = 1 and a1.v like "%белый%"
join a a2
 on a2.g = g.id and a2.id = 3 and a2.v like "%красный%"

Results:
| id |      n | id | g |     v | id | g |       v |
|----|--------|----|---|-------|----|---|---------|
|  1 | товар1 |  1 | 1 | белый |  3 | 1 | красный |

Q: Adding view controller as launch screen I am working on a launch screen where I want to add a progress bar.
LaunchScreen.xib doesn't allows me to add a progress bar on the launch screen.
So is it possible to add a view controller as the launch screen for some time interval so I can add a progress bar on the launch screen of my project?

A: No,you can not. You can not add any logic code to it.
And also know that, at launch screen time. Your app is not launched at all. So your code about progress bar is not running.
I think the better way is using a launch screen first,then show a viewController with a progress bar as you like.

A: Treat launch screen as progress indicator and do loading stuff before return "Yes" in applicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOption.as return yes line executed then view controller load it's view. but don't try too much stuff before return yes like time consuming network operation.

A: Yes, you can. I wanted to have control how long the LaunchScreen is visible when launching the app which I did in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in the AppDelegate.m file.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

{
int time = 3;
sleep(time);
printf("[%i] %s ***** sleeping %i seconds *****\n",__LINE__,__FUNCTION__, time);

return YES;

Q: relative error relation Let $x$ be a non-null quantity. Let $\hat{x}$ be its approximation. I am trying to find the relation between: $\frac{\left | x-\hat{x} \right |}{\left | x \right |}$ and $
\frac{\left | x-\hat{x} \right |}{\left | \hat{x} \right |}$?
According to what I understood, I did the following:
$\frac{\left | x-\hat{x} \right |}{\left | x \right |}=\frac{\left | x-\hat{x} \right |}{\left | \hat{x} \right |}\frac{\left | \hat{x} \right |}{\left | x \right |}$
but, I am not sure if this is how the problem is supposed to be solved. Any ideas? Thanks

A: The equations that you have there are called the "relative error" equations. They give you a numerical estimate of the error of a quantity normalized against the scale of the quantity. That measurement is commonly used in Newton's Method to know how many times the routine needs to be applied by stopping once the required working precision has been reached.
The question you have is this: "Do I measure relative to the 'ideal' quantity or the 'approximate' quantity?" In the realm of numerical methods, you usually don't have the 'ideal' quantity, or you wouldn't be trying to solve for it. :) What you do is take the last two values of the quantity for the iterative procedure (such as Newton's Method), and measure the relative error that way, with the 'ideal' value being $x$, and the 'approximate' value being $\hat x$. This is done because we assume that the method is convergent, that given an infinite working precision, and infinite iterations, it will give us exactly the right answer. Thus, the idea is that the answers should be getting progressively closer to (hence, "converging") to the right answer. However, when choosing the denominator, if your relative error is very small, the difference in value of the two fractions you have shown is meaningless. What you are really concerned about is how big the difference $\Delta x=x-\hat x$ is relative to either of the values.


Are trying your best in sports but not reaching your peak?
No matter how much training you do you seem to be under par?
Do you know you could do better but can't seem to focus your mind enough?
Would you like help from an athletics high achiever who also practices professional hypnotherapy?
Over the years I have worked with many sports and performance people to help them focus their minds and improve their performance in sports with hypnosis, including international Champions and medal winners.
Some went on to gain international titles and others simply enjoyed improving their game. I still use clinical hypnotherapy in my practice in Sydney today to help sports people improve their performance.
You may be surprised to know that sports hypnosis has probably existed for thousands of years.
In ancient Greece soldiers and contestants at the original Olympic Games studied each morning in the gymnasium, which was a sporting and gladiator school. When they were injured they may have been treated at an Asclepion Temple where dream states were used in the healing process along with physical medicine.
The modern revival of hypnotic states to focus the mind for sports developed in Russia in the 1950s and was used heavily in the 1960s, allowing athletes to gain many medals, particularly in gymnastics.
Gymnast Mary Lou Retton used hypnosis to help her win medals.
Boxer Mike McBride used hypnosis to help him beat World Heavy Weight Champion Mike Tyson.
Are you really aware how much of your personal top sports performance is a state of mind?
Yes, it is true you need to be a technical sportsperson to really up your game but all the lessons and coaching in the world will not turn you into winner if your mind is not in the right place.
The gate of your stride when you run, swing of the racket in tennis and follow-through of your golf swing all start in your mind.
Personally I have used hypnosis for many years to help my physical performance. At over 60 years old I still train nearly two hours a day four days a week, can outrun 90% of the people in my gym – who are a third of my age – for speed, and 95% of those people for distance.
I also still maintain a perfect weight, muscle tone and can do jump splits with ease, without any stress.
So I don't just use sports hypnosis with other people but live it myself and plan to do that for many decades to come. Having been a professional dancer in my youth I have always known the value of using my mind to lead my body to excellence.
Hypnosis helps quieten the mind and focuses the attention so you gain a clear picture of your goal.
Most people who have trouble pushing through their barriers in sports are anxious about their perceived lack of ability and need to create a better self-image of themselves winning.
Not only can hypnosis help you do this quickly but the mental imprint in your brain that happens during hypnosis lasts longer and becomes second nature.
What is excellent about using hypnosis to improve your sports performance is the results are fast and you learn to use it each and every day.
Not only do I hypnotise you but also teach you self-hypnosis so you can go away and use hypnosis on an ongoing basis to raise and keep up your sports performance level.

Hi-Rez Studios and Its Games
By admin Last updated Aug 21, 2022
Hi-Rez Studios is an independent video game development company. Its games are primarily focused on strategy and action. The company was founded in 2005 by Erez Goren and Todd Harris. They have since gained recognition for their diverse range of games. The company is headquartered in Montreal, Canada. The studio has published several successful titles, such as Diablo III and Uncharted. There is also a recent IP rumor involving 'Stranger Things.
1 'The Arena'
1.1 'Rogue Company Elite'
1.2 'Stranger Things
1.3 'Stranger Things' IP rumor
1.4 'Red Beard Games'
'The Arena'
Hi-Rez Studios recently announced the creation of a new indie development studio in Brighton, the UK, called Red Beard Games. The new studio will develop Hi-Rez's free-to-play online multiplayer game Rogue Company. This new game will feature a brawling deathmatch mode where both sides start with 500 tickets each. In addition, each player deducts five tickets when they kill an enemy player or minion. They also deduct 15 tickets if they assist a friendly minion in reaching the enemy portal.
Another Hi-Rez Studios game to release soon is SMITE Tactics. In this strategy game, players must choose which gods to lead and minions to deploy. Each unit has unique abilities, and players can collect cards to customize their armies. In the multiplayer mode, players can compete in 1v1 ranked competitive modes against AI and enjoy various adventure modes with other players. Hi-Rez Studios also is a member of the Georgia Game Developers Association. They are committed to the video game industry's growth in Georgia and strive to make Georgia a playground for game developers.
Hi-Rez Studios was established in 2005 by Todd Harris and Erez Goren. Today, Hi-Rez employs more than 450 people across its four studios in Brighton, Seattle, and Alpharetta. The studio has been awarded for the company's leadership, diversity, and culture. The Arena is a Hi-Rez studios game.
'Rogue Company Elite'
The Rogue Company is a top-secret mercenary syndicate, and your role in solving missions is crucial to your survival. The game features various PVP modes and will also let you team up with your friends to play as a team. Hi-Rez has promised more details in the coming months. In the meantime, you can get involved in the Alpha test phase of the game.
The new multiplayer shooter will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC platforms. Rogue Company is a highly anticipated game, and Hi-Rez has poured great energy into the development process. The game will feature a variety of mercenary classes, guns, and abilities and features cross-platform play and progression. As with Paladins and Smite, it will support cross-platform play.
The company has also teamed up with Verizon, the largest wireless network in the US. As a result, Verizon will be the official telecom partner for the Rogue Company. As part of this collaboration, Verizon will reward players who use its mobile data plans to play Rogue Company Elite. If you join the Verizon Up program, you'll also get exclusive access to the game's Beta. In addition to that, Rogue Company Elite will also be available on Android and iOS devices.
The Rogue Company game offers many different weapons and character types. The classes are organized into playlists so that players can play as their favorite characters and play their favorite maps. Currently, 15 known maps are available for the Rogue Company, but you will be able to download additional ones later on. Some of these maps are two-v-two-exclusive, and other maps are training grounds. You will also be able to play against AI players in multiplayer and local matches.
'Stranger Things
As the Netflix original series is about to come to the PlayStation 4, Hi-Rez Studios and Titan Forge Games are teaming up to bring a SMITE battle arena game to the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. This new crossover game will feature the Upside Down Arena Map. SMITE is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. To celebrate the partnership, Hi-Rez has announced a preview of the game that will be played at Summer Game Fest.
In addition to SMITE, 'Stranger Things will also be available in the popular online multiplayer game SMITE. The game's developers have teamed up with Netflix to develop Stranger Things-themed characters for the game. While there are no details, the crossover event will likely take place during Summer Game Fest 2021. So those who were eagerly awaiting this news should check their mailboxes for updates.
As for Stranger Things itself, the video game will be releasing a new map for the upcoming Stranger Things season. In addition to new map areas, it will also add a Draugr objective to grant a defensive buff to towers and phoenixes. This addition should help turn battles around. Stranger Things is the latest collaboration between Hi-Rez studios and Netflix. The video game has previously teamed up with Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
'Stranger Things' IP rumor
A 'Stranger Things' IP speculator has surfaced for SMITE and Magic the Gathering, two popular card games. Both games have recently teased a Stranger Things crossover, and Hi-Rez announced that a secret Lair drop featuring artwork from the popular show was on the way. The company said more information on the Stranger Things IP is coming at Summer Game Fest.
The 'Stranger Things' IP speculator was first reported by Cult of Lunar X-Movement blog, and it has since become a widely-rumored game IP. Interestingly, Hi-Rez has previously collaborated with an advertising platform, and that partnership could mean in-game commercials. Another 'Stranger Things' IP rumor is for a new MOBA from Hi-Rez, which is developing it.
'Red Beard Games'
While Hi-Rez has been a leading name in esports with titles like Paladins and Smite, the developer has expanded into more traditional video game development. Hi-Rez spun off its esports production company Skillshot Media and created three distinct studio brands. One of them, Red Beard, will focus on developing online IP. It will start with a small team but may grow depending on the project's needs. In addition to creating its first game, Red Beard will explore a range of creative approaches, including cross-play.
Currently, Red Beard Games is an independent studio, and there are no official listings for the studio on Hi-Rez's website. However, you can contact the company to learn more about job openings at Red Beard Games. Interested applicants can send their CVs to the company directly. If you're interested in working for Red Beard Games, you'll need to be able to work independently while also being backed by a larger company.
The new studio will combine the excitement and innovation of a small indie studio with the resources of a large developer. While details are scarce, the studio will focus on community collaboration and innovation to create the best possible game experience for fans. Hi-Rez Studios executives will attend Develop: Brighton to talk with potential applicants. You can meet with them at their student open house and conference Expo. In addition, you can find out more about their plans for this new studio.

Virginia Farmer Is Sentenced to Jail on Felony Cruelty Charge
PETA worked with the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department in a case involving 58 cows who died of starvation and three cows who had to be euthanized because of severe malnutrition. Commonwealth Attorney Marsha Garst charged the farmer responsible with a felony count of cruelty to animals and nine counts of misdemeanor animal neglect. He eventually pleaded guilty to those charges as well as 15 misdemeanor counts of failure to dispose of dead animals. He was sentenced to six months in jail and two years on probation, slapped with a $7,500 fine, and forbidden to own livestock.

Edinburgh water testers' new state of the art helping hand
Close up of the robot. Image: Scottish Water
Companies63
We are a publicly owned company, answerable to the Scottish Parliament and the people of Scotland. It's our job to provide 1.34 billion litres of drinking water every day and take away 847 million litres of waste water daily.
An Edinburgh science hub has a new helping hand – a-state-of-the art automated robot which is being used to test water quality.
The benchtop robot has been installed at Scottish Water's Juniper House laboratory in Currie.
It is used by the utility's Scientific Services department which carries out a range of vital tests on all of the country's drinking water. Specialists in its Inorganics team work every day to check the pH, colour, turbidity and conductivity of water.
The tests are carried out on water taken from customer taps, reservoirs, water treatment works, swimming pools and private water supplies.
The work was previously carried out on a machine called a Peerless Auto Analyser, which was coming to the end of its user life. Although effective it took up a large space in the relatively small labs and also needed large volumes of samples (meaning bigger bottles) and chemicals for tests to be carried out.
Anna Figueras Carril of Scottish Water said: "We wanted a more compact and reliable piece of equipment and, ideally one with bigger capacity to sample and test different waters. When we came across the robots we knew they ticked every box.
"Increasing customer demand – in terms of growing and changing populations and tighter water quality regulations - means we are carrying out more tests on drinking water than ever, over 500 tests per day. Drinking water regulations are increasingly more stringent, meaning that Scottish Water has to test samples more often to ensure that the quality of our water is never compromised.
"The robots mean we will have much less wastage in terms of water and chemicals needed for testing and also a reduction in plastic, as we will be able to use smaller sample bottles. This will all help Scottish Water get a step closer to its net zero emissions target by 2040. Improvements in robotics have meant that the instrument's footprint is smaller than the previous auto analyser but with a similar capacity. Having two analysers will almost double our capacity in the Edinburgh site. The company behind the robots has made every effort to make the process as efficient as possible.
The robot works by moving its pH and conductivity probe into each sample and drawing a portion of sample to the turbidity meter and colour spectrophotometer. Despite being slower than the previous auto analyser, the new robot is more robust and reliable and it has enabled us to extend the method ranges and lower the detection levels in line with the tighter water quality regulations. Scotland is famous for its peaty waters, so increasing the range of colour and turbidity saves a lot of analyst time as samples will not need to be diluted prior to analysis.
The previous water analyser used for testing started operating at the Edinburgh site in 2010. It handled around 200 samples a day from all over Scotland, excluding the Highlands and Islands, which are analysed at the utility's Inverness lab. It was starting to cost a lot of money for repairs as it was nearing the end of its life, which meant spare parts were becoming increasingly hard to find and costly.
The new robotic equipment is so state-of-the art specialist engineers from the Netherlands had to fly over to install the robot. This is where the robots are manufactured, meaning that the installation was carried out by engineers that know the robots inside and out.
The engineers also trained a reduced number of staff in the use of the instrument due to Coronavirus restrictions. Further training will be carried out internally to the rest of the team, ensuring that the knowledge is successfully and thoroughly passed on.
The team plan to install another robot in Edinburgh by the end of the year which will allow Scottish Water to keep up with demand and ensure compliance.
