Hello YAMmies! Let me welcome you to my new segment. Julyssa's Jukebox will be a place in where I (Julyssa) will share some of the music that I have been listening to each week. Everything from new songs to some older ones. This is my playlist for the week.
First off, I want to start with a song that has been stuck in my head for a good reason. My friends came to visit me from the U.S. When they were heading back to the airport, their taxi driver was really kind and charming. He told them about his music, my friend told him to contact me and bam! that is how I found out about Sodad.
The funny thing is that neither me nor my friends are that big fans of house music, but something about this song makes us bob our heads along. Plus, we think Sodad is a sweetheart so that makes the song even better.
Dammit SME and their music, they always become earworms with me. I like this song so much I keep listening to it several times a day. Makes me want to dance while I am walking down the street. I used to be that way with another SNSD earworm — Gee.
This artist came out of nowhere and hit me in the gut. I am still a little shocked over what happened but it's not negative.
I am still very high from his Stockholm show. I think I am about to get a little choked up thinking about it. This has something to do with next weeks Editor's Chat — me and Amy chatted about instant loves — those entertainment things that make you fall head over heels in an instant. Well, Michael Kiwanuka blew me away. I can't stop listening to his album and my heart burns thinking about it.
I love J.Y.Park, I often call him "the ahjusshii of Kpop". I mostly adore him for being the CEO of JYP Entertainment and the producer of such great tracks as 2PM's Again and Again as well as The Wondergirls' Tell Me.
This song has that soul and funk that makes you want to jam as well as *cough*…. you get my meaning. Sure, J.Y.P. shouldn't be allowed to dress himself, but he for sure knows how to make great music.
Aaaaahhhh! I think Sweden is off to one heck of a summer if the clubs are going to be playing Elliphant's music. Not only her, but acts such as Marcus Price & Carli are sure to bring heat to the dancefloor.
I am going to be blasting this song at every party I attend this summer. You people have been warned!
Well, that is it for my Jukebox for this week. The playlist for next week is already forming and it's a doozy! With summer comes some great tracks that are too great to ignore. I shall see how I find the time to listen to it all.
Until next weeks then, duckies! This is your dear YAM editor signing out, peace!
I dunno if Twinkle is at the level of GEE crack. I've listened to it a couple of times since I listened to the album, but I can't remember anything about the song, even though it's probably the highlight of the album. LOL This was better than SNSD's The Boys release though.
Well, technically Twinkle is not near Gee but as way of earworms go… it's up there.
Did my comment not come up?
Interviews, interviews and more interviews!

Stories of nine extraordinary girls and the power of education
Ahead of the CNN film "Girl Rising" airing this Sunday night on CNN we're sharing the stories of girls who are trying to get an education.
Thousands of schools in Haiti were damaged or destroyed in the 2010 earthquake. Amid the devastation, Wadley wants nothing more than to return to class.

Haitian President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe on Haiti's progress and disaster preparations
The turmoil in the Middle East might be front and center this week at the United Nations General Assembly but there are still other crisis that are drawing attention from people like actor and activist Sean Penn. Two and a half years after being ravaged by a magnitude 7 earthquake, the island nation of Haiti is still struggling to get back on its feet. Last month hurricane Isaac served as a painful reminder of Haiti's troubles. Despite a flood of humanitarian aid from around the world, Haiti's infrastructure remains weak, and roughly 400,000 people are still living in makeshift housing and tents. This morning, Haitian President Michel Martelly and Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe visit the set of "Starting Point" in their first-ever joint interview.
Martelly says during his campaign for president he promised the people of Haiti that he would get them out of the make-shift tents and he is still "moving." "One week after the earthquake we had about 1.5 million people still under the tents and today that number is down to about 300,000 and it tells you how far we came and how well we're doing." Martelly says his government has a "very well elaborated program," that rehabilitates destroyed homes or provides a years worth of money for the displaced so they can afford a better place to stay.
Lamothe says right now Haiti is better prepared because of their "very strong risk disaster and prevention management program." Lamothe says public funds are being dropped into the public budget in order to stay prepared in the vent of another disaster. The Prime Minister adds that ten hurricane shelters are also being built in the country.
Martelly disputes claims that Haitians were not aware of Hurricane Isaac, saying that the people were aware but "they felt alone." The Haitian president also says there are problems with the education system. "We are having a problem today," says Martelly but "we were able to put more than a million kids in school."

Too hot for big flavours?
Too hot for wines with big flavours? It's time to cool down with an ice cold glass of Pinot Grigio.
Pinot Grigio is often overlooked for not having enough flavour but in a heatwave it's just what you need. Ice cold from the fridge, it's refreshing and light. A real deckchair wine. It is simple on the nose whilst on the palate it hints at gentle elderflower and lemon fruit.
Lower in alcohol than many of our favourites, Pinot Grigio makes a great aperitif but is also easy to pair with many summer dishes. Try it with beetroot humus dip, prawn and avocado salad or a creamy pasta dish. The choices are endless…go and explore!


Home > Gaming > Cloud Computing > Google Stadia: Console Killer, Gaming Industry Disruptor?
"The future of gaming is not a box", quipped Google's Stadia Twitter account. Possibly not-so-subtle jibe at the venerable Xbox, Stadia instead claims it instead is a "place for all the ways we play". At GDC 2019, Google expands its purview of technological hardware and services to include gaming.
Touted as a platform that brings together gamers and spectators in a virtual stadium as "the future of games". Users are able to access top-notch gaming titles regardless of hardware, relying instead on cloud computing to drive frames on your device.
This is powered by Google's extensive data centres network around the world, connected by fibre optic and subsea cables, with more than 7,500 edge nodes. Additionally, the reliability and predictability of Google's data centre network ensures low-latency gameplay and enhanced security.
In a demo at the event, Google execs showcased how casual browsing on YouTube (a video streaming service also owned by Google), might land you on a gaming-related video clip such as a trailer. By simply clicking on a "Play Now" link, viewers can instantaneously launch the title within Chrome, and even stream it on lobbies for fans to join and play with them on YouTube. Stadia even offers the ability to instantly clip footage for upload onto YouTube.
With Google's high-powered data network, users can look forward to 4K 60fps HDR gameplay with surround-sound. The system is also future-proofed with sufficient capacity for 8K 120fps. It also enables 4K 60fps recording straight to YouTube. Google even hinted at the possibility of thousands of players taking part in a battle royale-style game in the near future.
It also means that its cloud computing solution provides far greater graphics performance than the best consoles on the market right now.
In addition to Stadia's promise to bring games to a wider variety of users, and gaming to a wider audience, it also enables gamers to switch between gaming platforms seamlessly with Google's ecosystem of devices and services. They demonstrated the ability to move from a laptop, straight to a phone, desktop, tablet and TV with Chromecast.
Players can use their existing controllers, but Google's newest addition to their hardware family, the Stadia Controller, is optimised for the experience. Most notably, the Stadia Controller directly connects to Google's data centre via Wi-Fi for the best performance possible. On board are two dedicated controls that enable capturing game experiences straight to Youtuber, and summoning the Google Assistant for special in-game features built in by developers.
With Google's extensive ecosystem encompassing Chrome, YouTube, Android and Chromecast, Stadia brings gaming titles and content, adding a mesh of interoperability and a dash of cloud computing to enable as wide an audience to take part in the action. Google hinted at future support for alternative browsers, but there was no mention of any of the products or services by its main competitor, Apple.
Google's Stadia service seems to be completely reliant on data connectivity to access its cloud computing servers, which poses a limitation for those who are located in more remote locations far from Google's network of data centres. The burgeoning 5G network infrastructure promises to alleviate this issue, but it remains to be seen.
wow, awesome look and i want that console, really superb, waiting for the google product.

Why Buy/Sell Facebook Stock?
Before buying or selling Facebook stocks, you need to be familiarized not only about this company but also about the factors that could influence its market value.
It is essential for you to understand Facebook Inc.'s company history and the core of its business.
Facebook's major source of revenue comes from advertising.
Fact is:
Despite having over 2.5 billion active members, this massive user base is not their primary revenue stream.
Because of this huge global audience and the capability to create a highly targeted audience, companies are tapping into their platform to advertise their services and products.
And that was just the beginning…
Facebook offers various forms of advertising and this allows businesses to optimize their ad delivery in so many ways.
Aside from its social networking platform, the company also offers other popular products and services:
Looking back...
Facebook had a slow start during its first year before it became one of the world's largest companies in terms of market capitalization.
The company's IPO launched at $38 on May 15, 2012 and on the same year, its value dropped significantly reaching a historic low of $17.73 but since 2013, it has already made a huge recovery.

Facebook Stock Performance
Here's a fact:
FACEBOOK GROWS.
But the success of this company cannot just be attributed to advertising but also because of its strategic acquisitions.
And did you know?
As of this writing, Facebook has already acquired over 80 companies and you probably heard some of them like the following:
Instagram: This photo and video-sharing social networking service became very popular since its initial launch back in 2010 but after 2 years, it was bought by Facebook for $1 billion making it one of the best business acquisitions in the history of Silicon Valley.
WhatsApp: This cross-platform messaging and Voice over IP service was acquired by Facebook in 2014 for $19 billion. Currently, it has over 2 billion users across the globe.
Oculus: This company is an established name in the VR or virtual reality industry and has also been acquired by Facebook for $2 billion and as a subsidiary, the tech giant is banking on the promise of virtual and augmented reality extending beyond entertainment.
Facebook's tremendous growth can also be attributed to its aggressive and strategic acquisitions over time and analysts see it as the company's way to diversify its portfolio and continue to expand.
Here's an updated table comparing Facebook's stock performance against other high-profile technology stocks:
In addition...
Facebook is part of the big tech superstocks known as FAANG.
It's an acronym of the 5 publicly-traded stocks of US technology companies namely Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google.
Facebook Stock Forecast
Is Facebook still expected to go up or is there a downward trend in the horizon?
Here's a brief summary of our outlook for Facebook and this is based on current market data and in-depth analysis.
These forecasts do not guarantee of future performance and involve risks and therefore, actual market outcomes and results may differ from what was forecasted due to variable factors and changing circumstances.
2020: A Positive Stock Trajectory
Amidst the disastrous effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, Facebook's shares remain to have a significant further appreciation potential.
In fact...
The company's shares appreciated after it introduced its new feature called Shops to support small businesses that are impacted by the ongoing global pandemic.
It's ambitious plan to venture into the cryptocurrency space is finally gaining traction with its Libra global currency and financial infrastructure due to be launched by end of this year.
There's more...
Political advertising is expected to further boost the company's revenues as the US presidential elections take place this November.
In general...
We expected Facebook's stock growth this year to be medium.
2021: Digital Payments Made Easy
Libra is just one of the many possible new digital payment methods that will be introduced to the market by 2021.
These payment gateways planned to be used across their services including the Facebook Marketplace, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp and this makes it a lot more convenient and safe to make transactions and spend your money online.
This merits a high FB stock growth forecast.
2022: The Boom of Augmented and Virtual Realities
Most tech companies are set to go full blast with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) services by 2022 and Facebook is most likely to join the bandwagon with the aim of bridging the digital and physical worlds.
Face filters and other kinds of effects are widely used nowadays in messaging apps and even in gaming so it's not a surprise to see companies like Facebook expanding the AR/VR experience further to other services such as online shopping.
Overall...
In 2022, we have a medium stock market growth outlook for Facebook.

New West KnifeWorks has deep roots in the art community starting with Corey's early days at the country's best art shows. We decided to get back to these roots by sponsoring a local artist and throwing a party during the monthly summer Art Walks put on by the Jackson Hole Gallery association.
In addition to featuring local Jackson Hole artist Connor Liljestrom's work, we had Chopped Junior Champion Buck Milligan working the ourdoor grill with founder Corey Milligan. Thanks to our friends at Roadhouse Brewery and Bovine and Swine Meats - two delcious Jackson-based brands - beer was flowing and smoky savory snacks were plentiful. As the evening carried on, friends and neighbors started showing off their tomahawk skills. Good times had by all!

Q: Is there a shortcut to select words in Visual Studio Community that is like VSCode/Atom? On VSCode and Atom there is the shortcut CtrlD CtrlD that selects the word occurrence.
Is there something similar on Visual Studio Community/Pro/... ?

A: The default shortcut for this behavior has been changed (as of September 2020) to Ctrl+D.
For anyone looking to change this keybinding, the keyboard shortcut command is called editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch, and the when key should be editorFocus.
From the default keybindings.json file in VSCode:
{
  "key": "ctrl+d",
  "command": "editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch",
  "when": "editorFocus"
}

A: Ctrl+R+R is what you want.

Q: Next() method does not continue iteration when called directly from the function in which it was created I created a function squared() with a next() method. The function has a start value of n = 0. The next method is expected to return a value and false if n is <= 5. It should continue to repeat this process each time i call next.
The problem i encountered is dat, when i call squared().next() directly in the console, it only continues to feed me the first return value. Meaning it still counts from 0 each time i call it.
But when i set the function squared to an object like this:
squaredIterator = squared();
Then i call it dis way:
squaredIterator.next();
It works perfectly and continues to iterate until n > 5.
What i dnt understand is why it only works well wen i call it from an object. Is it dat objects have a special memory where dey keep the last value of n???
function squared() {
      let n = 0;

      return {
       next() {
         n++;

      if(n <= 5) {
    return {
         value: n * n,
         done: false
     };
    }
    return {
     value: undefined,
     done: true
    }
  }
  };
}

console.log(squared().next());
console.log(squared().next());
// value: 1, done: false
// value: 1, done: false
let squaredIterator = squared();

console.log(squaredIterator.next());
// value: 1, done: false
console.log(squaredIterator.next();
// value: 1, done: true

A: When you call square() it creates a new closure and returns a new object containing next which has that closure as its context.
Each time you call square() it'll create a new closure and object. But when you bind it to a variable let squaredIterator = squared(), you now have a reference to the returned object.
Then you can call next() from the same returned object, from within the same closure that was created when you bound the object in the beginning.
Consider this example:

function Dog(name) {
  return {
    speak() { console.log(`Hi I'm ${name}`) }
  }
}

const rocky = Dog('Rocky')
const obie = Dog('Obie')

rocky.speak()
obie.speak()

Dog('Jericho').speak()
Dog('Silvester').speak()

Each time we call Dog(exampleName) we create a new closure where the variable name = exampleName. So the only way we can save and interact with that closure, is by creating a reference to it, AKA binding it to a variable.

Q: Convert one JSONAray item into multiple Items I have the following String which is returning from the Database in the form of List, My assumption is that, the list contains 3 items.
but it is showing only "1" as the size. So it is returning all the activity items as one element.
Note: When I try to get the first index of the list (list.get(0)), it returns only one "activity" not all the three(as a single item).I don't know what is
happening inside the list.
My Question: How to convert the below list of strings which contains 1 item(with 3 activity items) into List which should consider list size as 3(3 activity).
[ { "activity" : { "id" : "a_3" , "kind" : "Infomation" , "userId" : 100 , "accountId" : 0 , "timestamp" : 1476369009366 , "result" : "normal"  }} ,
 { "activity" : { "id" : "a_18" , "kind" : "Infomation" , "userId" : 100 , "accountId" : 0 ,"timestamp" : 1476419696003 , "result" : "normal" }} ,
 { "activity" : { "id" : "a_4" , "kind" : "Infomation" , "userId" : 100, "accountId" : 0 , ""timestamp" : 1476435910335 , "result" : "normal" }}]

The above information is from the DB:
Iterable<DBObject> results =null;
List<String> retList = new ArrayList<>();
        try {
            results= collection.aggregate(pipeline).results();
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
        if(results!=null){
            Iterator<DBObject> iterator = results.iterator();
            while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                String input = iterator.next().get("actLogList").toString();
                retList.add(input.substring(input.indexOf("[") + 1, input.lastIndexOf("]")));
            }
        }
        return retList;

A: 1.) create json array by passing your string to constructor
2.) traverse array and retrieve your jsonObject using index i
3.) fetch the activity jsonobject and then simply use your index to fetch the values for jsonActivityItem object.
4.) create a POJO class to store your object in a collection like List etc but make sure to mark them private and use getter and setters for best practice
class User{
    String id,kind,result;
    int userId,accountId;
    long timestamp;
    //.. getter & setters
}

Note : To convert your string to json compatible you can use JsonParser , try this link JsonParser snippet
    JSONArray array;
    List<User> listUser=new ArrayList<>(); // to store objects as details
    try {
        array=new JSONArray(st); // st is your string ( make sure to use jsonparser )
        JSONObject jsonActivity;
        JSONObject jsonActivityItem;
        User user;
        for (int i=0;i<array.length();i++) {
            System.out.println();
            jsonActivity=array.getJSONObject(i);
            jsonActivityItem=jsonActivity.getJSONObject("activity");

            // To store data for later use
            user = new User();
            user.setId(jsonActivityItem.getString("id"));
            user.settimestamp(jsonActivityItem.getLong("timestamp"));
            //..set other values using setters
            listUser.add(user);

            // to display items

            String id        = jsonActivityItem.optString("id");
            String kind      = jsonActivityItem.optString("kind");
            String userId    = jsonActivityItem.optString("userId");
            String accountId = jsonActivityItem.optString("accountId");
            String timestamp = jsonActivityItem.optString("timestamp");
            String result    = jsonActivityItem.optString("result");
        }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

I would recommend an easy and short way i.e using gson to convert it into list but you will required to use POJO class you can take a look at this link to create a compatible POJO class and later just use Gson code
Nullity check : Sometime you may see  some exceptions when the values are not available so in those cases when you are not sure about the presence of value
so use optInt optBoolean etc which will simply return the default value if it is not present and even try to convert value to int if it is string
like
from docs

Get an optional int value associated with a key, or the default if
  there is no such key or if the value is not a number. If the value is
  a string, an attempt will be made to evaluate it as a number.

int block_id = jObj.getInt("key",defaultvalue);

e.g
int block_id = jObj.getInt("userId",0);

A: You have to use GSON library to parse this JSON array. You need to do something similar to below code.
    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonArrayString);
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i=0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++) {
        list.add( jsonArray.getString(i) );
    }

Theosophy: An Introduction to the Supersensible Knowledge of the World and the Destination of Man
Rudolf Steiner Press, 2005 - 158 páginas
Written in 1904 (CW 9)
Given his energetic involvement in practical initiatives and extensive lecturing, Rudolf Steiner had very little time to write. Of the books he found time to write, four titles are considered indispensable introductions to his teaching as a whole: How to Know Higher Worlds; An Outline of Esoteric Science; Intuitive Thinking As a Spiritual Path; and Theosophy. With the exception of his Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts and Autobiography, Steiner's writings belong to his earliest work.
In this classic translation of Theosophy, Steiner brings us a psychology based not on the conventional duality of body and mind, but on the more ancient division of body, soul, and spirit. Steiner offers a detailed description of the functions and organs of the three aspects of the human being, as well as the objective realms to which they belong. Just as the physical body originates in and belongs to the material world, so too do the human soul and spirit belong to their specific realms. These are the dimensions through which all human beings travel in the life after death, and in which--after passing the "midnight hour"--we begin to seek our karma and destiny in a new life. Theosophy features one of the most comprehensive and condensed of all Steiner's accounts of these realms, as well as the events our immortal being experiences in passing through them.
The book ends with a chapter on the modern "path of knowledge," in which Steiner describes exercises by means of which everyone can develop the latent powers of perception needed to know the higher worlds.
This volume is a translation of «Theosophie, Einführung in übersinnliche Welterkenntnis und Menschenbestimmung» (GA 9)

A Science for the Soul: Occultism and the Genesis of the German Modern
Corinna Treitel
Aspects of Human Evolution
Austrian-born Rudolf Steiner was a noted Goethe (see Vol. 2) scholar and private student of the occult who became involved with Theosophy in Germany in 1902, when he met Annie Besant (1847--1933), a devoted follower of Madame Helena P. Blavatsky (1831--1891). In 1912 he broke with the Theosophists because of what he regarded as their oriental bias and established a system of his own, which he called Anthroposophy (anthro meaning "man"; sophia sophia meaning "wisdom"), a "spiritual science" he hoped would restore humanism to a materialistic world. In 1923 he set up headquarters for the Society of Anthroposophy in New York City. Steiner believed that human beings had evolved to the point where material existence had obscured spiritual capacities and that Christ had come to reverse that trend and to inaugurate an age of spiritual reintegration. He advocated that education, art, agriculture, and science be based on spiritual principles and infused with the psychic powers he believed were latent in everyone. The world center of the Anhthroposophical Society today is in Dornach, Switzerland, in a building designed by Steiner. The nonproselytizing society is noted for its schools.

Section 1. Membership:
(a) Players, Team Managers, and Assistant Managers shall sign annual League registration forms. Signing confirms their voluntary participation in scheduled League play, that they do so willingly and at their own risk, and that they thereby, separately, for their heirs, executors, and administrators, waive and release any and all rights against the League, its members, affiliates, sponsors, agents or representatives for any and all accidents, injuries, or losses suffered while competing in scheduled practices, League play, and/or in connection with any programs of the League.

Depending on how many games are left in the season, the returning once-injured player may elect to purchase a shirt and hat for the new team or play without doing so but wearing a shirt close in color to his team's uniform. If the original team has not received a replacement, the once-injured player may resume his spot on the roster.

Cardiovascular disorders and metabolic disorders are considered to be amongst the leading causes of death worldwide. In fact, approximately one-third of the annual number of deaths across the globe are attributed to cardiovascular disorders. Likewise, a significant proportion of the global population suffers from diabetes or some form of metabolism related clinical condition. As per IDF Diabetes Atlas, the treatment of diabetes and related complications incurred USD 727 billion in global healthcare expenditure in 2017. Advances in cell biology and regenerative medicine have led to the development of stem cell therapies that can potentially address several unmet needs and potentially offer a cure for various cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
I have highlighted below some of the most interesting insights from our study. You can also access additional details here.

Q: simple Lie algebra as vector spaces $\mathfrak {g}$: contraints on rings or ideals or vector spaces? A simple Lie algebra is a Lie algebra that is nonabelian and contains no nonzero proper ideals.
But the ideals are the subset of rings that form a closed structure --- under the left or right multiplication of the full ring on the ideals to be closed. Thus ideals are also rings.
However, Lie algebra is a vector space $\mathfrak {g}$ together with an operation called the Lie bracket, an alternating bilinear map together with this operation is a non-associative algebra
Together with an operation called the Lie bracket, an alternating bilinear map ${\mathfrak {g}} \times {\mathfrak {g}} \rightarrow$
$\mathfrak{g}$,  while
$(x,y)\mapsto [x,y]$, that satisfies the Jacobi identity. The vector space ${\mathfrak {g}}$ together with this Lie bracket is a non-associative algebra.
Question 1: So if the Lie algebra is a vector space (a vector space over a field F is a set V together with two operations that satisfy the eight axioms listed here, which contains a stronger condition on the "fields" more than "rings" (or ideals of the rings), how can the definition of the simple Lie algebra involves a check on the "weaker" ideal property instead of the "stronger" field property?
Question 2:  Both su(2) = so(3) are isomorphic as the same simple Lie algebra.  A simple Lie group is a connected Lie group whose Lie algebra is simple. So SU(2) and SO(3) are two different simple Lie groups and connected Lie group? whose Lie algebra is EXACTLY simple and the same one, because su(2) = so(3)?

A: I think there's some confusion as to where these ideals live. $\mathfrak{g}$ is a vector space over a field and there are various vector space axioms describing the addition in $\mathfrak{g}$ and the scalar multiplication from the field and how those interact. On top of that we have the structure of an algebra on $\mathfrak{g}$. In other words $\mathfrak{g}$ has a multiplication operation (which we'll denote with brackets) which interacts nicely with the addition and scalar multiplication from earlier. Explicitly:
$$ [X + Y,Z] = [X,Z] + [Y,Z], $$
$$ [X,Y + Z] = [X,Y] + [X,Z], $$
$$\lambda[X,Y] = [\lambda X,Y] = [X,\lambda Y],$$
for all $X, Y, Z \in \mathfrak{g}$ and $\mu, \lambda \in \mathbb{F}$. Saying the same thing another way $[\cdot,\cdot]:\mathfrak{g} \times \mathfrak{g} \to \mathfrak{g}$ is bilinear. It is a Lie algebra so we also require $[\cdot,\cdot]$ is alternating and satisfies the Jacobi equality. When we talk about simple Lie algebras, the ideals mentioned are ideals of $\mathfrak{g}$ with respect to this bracket operation not ideals of the field (which of course has no non-trivial, proper ideals). An ideal of $\mathfrak{g}$ is a subspace $\mathfrak{i} \leq \mathfrak{g}$ such that $[\mathfrak{i} , \mathfrak{g}] \subset \mathfrak{i}$.
Here are some examples of what an ideal in a Lie algebra looks like.
Let $\mathfrak{t}$ denote the set of upper-triangular matrices with Lie bracket given by the commutator $[A,B] = AB -BA$. Let $\mathfrak{u}$ be the subspace of strictly upper-triangular matrices. That is, where the entries on the diagonal are all $0$. Then $\mathfrak{u}$ is an ideal of $\mathfrak{t}$. Indeed, it is the biggest proper ideal although there are some obvious smaller ones if you play around a bit.
Another simple example comes whenever we make the direct sum of Lie algebras. That is we have Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}_1$, $\mathfrak{g}_2$ and we set $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}_1 \oplus \mathfrak{g}_2$ (a direct sum of vector spaces) such that the bracket of any element of $\mathfrak{g}_1$ with one from $\mathfrak{g}_2$ is $0$. Then $\mathfrak{g}_1$, $\mathfrak{g}_2$ are both ideals of $\mathfrak{g}$.
As to your second question, yes. Those are two non-isomorphic simple Lie groups but whose Lie algebras are isomorphic. Indeed $SU(2)$ is a double cover of $SO(3)$. They are however "locally isomorphic" which is why they have the same Lie algebra.

Another triple-double for Luka helps lead Mavs past Cavaliers
Michael Mulford
A trap game; that's what tonight had the potential of being.
Coming off a disappointing loss to the Lakers in overtime on Friday, tonight had all the makings of a game that the Cavs could steal from the Mavericks if they're heads weren't in the right place after such a gut wrenching loss two days prior.
And though the first three quarters were neck and neck, Luka and the Mavericks dominated the fourth quarter, to win 131-111. Luka led the way again with his second consecutive triple-double, finishing with 29 points, 14 rebounds, and 15 assists; an absolutely ridiculous stat line. Kristaps Porzingis finished with 18 points and 9 rebounds along with a dominant 6 blocks.
Luka, Luka, Luka
The kid is incredible. It's astonishing just how good he is at only 20-years old. The past two games, Luka has been damn near perfect on the court. Sure, we saw him put up a handful of triple-double's last season and have some great performances, but the first six games of this season just feels different.
Of course, he's slimmed down so he seems to be a little quicker out there. But overall, the game just seems to have slowed down so much for Luka. I mean, two consecutive games with 15 assists? That's damn near unheard of, especially for a 20-year old, not to mention the milestones he set last night with that second consecutive triple-double (see below).
If Luka can continue producing at this pace and the Mavericks continue to win, Luka is serious MVP candidate, not just for this season but for years to come.
– 1st player in @NBAHistory to record at least 29 PTS, 15 AST, 13 REB in back-to-back games.
– Youngest in NBA History to record consecutive 25-point triple-doubles.
– 2nd player in @dallasmavs franchise history with back-to-back 15-AST games, joining Jason Kidd. pic.twitter.com/aTzNKdCOhG

The Boban Experiment
Outside of Luka, KP, and J.J. Barea, would you say Boban is the fourth most popular current Maverick? You could make the argument just off the reception he gets from the crowd.
Boban has seen his first action of the season over the last two games. Against Cleveland, he scored 12 points and grabbed 8 rebounds with a +/- of +25 in just 15 minutes. Yes, +25.
It's truly fascinating watching Boban on the court. His size is mesmerizing as he's always the biggest dude on the court. He towered over Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson during those 15 minutes.
One thing that seems evident; Luka loves passing Boban the ball. As craft as Doncic is with the basketball, drawing double teams and help when he drives the lane, opens up space for Luka to easily dish the ball to the 7'4″ big man.
Of course, Maxi Kleber was out with a knee contusion so that opened up more minutes for Boban in Cleveland but I think it's become clear that Boban deserves minutes every game when paired up with Luka.

Enrique Iglesias Curated
Spanish singer, songwriter, actor and producer
Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler born on 8 May 1975 is a Spanish singer, songwriter, actor and record producer, who is regarded as the King of Latin Pop.Enrique Iglesias began his career during the mid-1990s on American Spanish-language record label Fonovisa Records under the stage name Enrique Martinez, before switching to his notable surname Iglesias.By the turn of the millennium, after becoming one of the biggest stars in Latin America and the Hispanic market in the United States, he made a successful crossover into the US mainstream market. He signed a multi-album deal with Universal Music Group for US$68 million with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope Records to release English albums. In 2010, he parted with Interscope Records and signed with another Universal Music Group label, Republic Records, to release bilingual albums. In 2015, Iglesias parted ways with Universal Music Group after being there for over a decade. He signed with Sony Music and his subsequent albums were to be released by Sony Music Latin in Spanish and RCA Records in English.Iglesias is one of the best-selling Latin music artists with sales estimates of over 70 million records. He has had five Billboard Hot 100 top five singles, including two number-ones, and holds the record for producing 27 number-one Spanish-language singles on the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. He also holds the record for most number-one hits on that chart. Iglesias also has 14 number-ones on Billboard's Dance charts, more than any other male artist. In December 2016, Billboard magazine named him the 14th most successful and top male dance club artist of all time.

Tell us a secret
I hate doing photo shoots.
What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
Enjoy it, because it's short.
Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?
Elvis, Obama, Michael Jackson and Abraham Lincoln.
What has been your biggest disappointment?
Trusting someone that was a fake.
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
A guilty pleasure is something you're a little embarrassed about. I could say reality shows – but I watch them and I don't feel guilty about it
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Being on a first date in a movie theatre and farting. I was 17.
Which living person do you most admire, and why?
Elvira, the lady that took care of me when my parents weren't able to be there. She dedicated her whole life to me and my brother and my sister. Now I take care of her.
What is your greatest fear?
To lose a passion for what I love.
When were you happiest?
At home with my dogs, or on the boat going waterskiing on a beautiful day in Miami. And having a hit song that connects with people.
Are Lucy and Nicholas already fans of your music?
If they cry, just let them listen to Bailando and start to go wild. I wouldn't let them listen to my songs because I'm embarrassed, but the mother (tennis champion Anna Kurnikova) does it all the time.
An Italian with whom you would duet?
Only when a song is ready, I think of the artist with whom to sing it, otherwise it becomes a stretch. My wish list includes many Italians, from Jovanotti to Eros, and of course Zucchero, with whom I grew up.
Have you ever had a plan B?
At 15 with my brother I lived three months in camping in Hawaii convinced to become a professional surfer, but I was not good enough. Today the only sport I deal with is football, but with a beer and on the couch.
Your legacy?
I would like to be remembered as a man of heart, capable of being there for anyone who asks for help, even a stranger
What do you listen to when you are not working?
The radio: I don't like Spotify and I prefer to let myself be transported and discover unexpected sounds from all over the world
GRAMMY® Award-Winning Global Artist Enrique Iglesias Salutes Fans for Helping Contribute Over $350,000 to Save the Children
Enrique, a strong supporter of Save the Children since 2015, was recently named a "changemaker for children" by the international humanitarian organization for raising his voice and mobilizing his fans to raise funds for the most vulnerable children. Through Enrique's encouragement, fans from all over the world rallied to support his favorite cause through online contributions, fundraisers, auctions, merchandise and meet and greets that contributed to $353,000 and counting. This total includes more than $75,000 for the organization's HEART (Healing and Education through the Arts) programs in Mexico, see photos here. In addition, through a partnership with Microsoft, Enrique donated $200,000 in software to strengthen literacy programming for elementary school-age children in El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru. "I have the best fans on the planet," says Enrique. "They never cease to amaze me with their incredible compassion and support. I am so proud of what we have accomplished and I am thankful for my partnership with Save the Children. Together, we are making the world a little better for children."


From the Dottie Rambo Elvis Presley Collection. Elvis Presley gave this signed and inscribed stage worn white scarf one night after his show in Las Vegas. Elvis has written, "To Dottie, Love Always, a friend. E.P." in red lipstick. Dottie and Elvis were very good friends, and Elvis recorded some of her songs. During Elvis's Vegas residency, Dottie frequently sat at the stage side with her daughter Reba during his show. During one such show, instead of giving his sweaty scarf to an overly eager fan, he ran to the side of the stage, grabbed Dottie's lipstick and signed it. Dottie kept this white scarf in a secure location, close by her, for the rest of her life. Very good condition. Comes with a letter of provenance from Dottie's family and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.

Q: How to use sphinx rtd theme with pandoc I use pandoc to convert a markdown file to a html document. I wonder if it is possible to use Sphinx rtd theme to my html document converted using pandoc:
pandoc mydoc.md -o mydoc.html

Could you tell me please how can use this template to my html?

A: If you want to use a sphinx-theme, you might simply use sphinx instead of pandoc?
But if you're only interested in the CSS the theme provides, you can tell pandoc to use that:
pandoc input.md -o foo.html -s --css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme/master/sphinx_rtd_theme/static/css/theme.css

See the pandoc manual for more info.

Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is located on the Nisqually River Delta in southern Puget Sound.
Three thousand acres of salt and freshwater marshes, grasslands, riparian, and mixed forest habitats provide resting and nesting areas for migratory waterfowl, songbirds, raptors, and wading birds.
Sheila McCartan, Visitor Services Manager at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge shared the following story with the Nature Explore Team which was then included on page 97 of Nature Explore's new Growing With Nature book.
The Nature Explore Classroom is located in an orchard, developed adjacent to the new Environmental Education Center. Regional, natural materials are used throughout the site with many items, such as stepping blocks and balance beams, coming from reclaimed wood. The Washington Conservation Corps crew saved chunks of a downed cottonwood tree and hollowed them out for crawl through logs.
Aesthetically pleasing willow fencing was used on sides of the classroom that are visible to the public. The Nature Art Area incorporates a two colored, concrete swirl flooring with natural items pressed onto the surface. This detail, as in all areas of the outdoor classroom, have been developed as a beautiful reflection of nature.


If you have recently updated PHP on a Directadmin server through custombuild, you should notice that not all modules are available with the fresh installation. But don't worry, in case of Imagemagich it's pretty simple.
/usr/local/php70/lib/php.ini (I have default settings).
That's all. Reboot your nginx/Apache and reboot php-fpm if necessary.
Now Imagemagick module should be active.

Intelligent Industrial Internet Systems Pvt. Ltd, which operates insurance-technology startup i3 Systems, has raised $1.5 million (about Rs 11 crore) in a pre-Series A funding round.
The Mumbai-based startup raised this capital from investors including early-stage investment firm Unitus Ventures.
The technology-focussed VC firm is an existing investor in the company; it took part in a $1 million round in the company in the mid-2018, according to reports.
Other participants in the pre-Series A round include Reliance Industries Ltd chief financial officer Alok Agarwal and Zhooben Bhiwandiwala, president at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd investment arm Mahindra Partners. Both invested in their personal capacity.
i3 Systems was set up by Mallesh Bommanahal and Varzavand Batliwala in 2016. The company says its platform uses artificial intelligence to provide insurers with estimates of medical risk and the cost of care.
The startup says its i3claim solution reduces claim processing times to six minutes from over an hour. It also helps slash payment leakages. It claims its platform can automate up to 60% of the policy underwriting process.
i3 Systems will use the pre-Series A capital to enhance its technological infrastructure with the goal of enabling the adoption of its product across all repetitive processes in the banking, financial services and insurance sector.
"Their retention perspectives are their strength, and the team has shown credibility with reliable products and fast core-system integrations," Bhiwandiwala said.
Unitus partner Radha Kizhanattam added that i3 Systems was using its platform to disrupt traditional methods of processing documents.
Unitus Ventures
The investment firm was set up in 2012 and supports startups operating in sectors such as financial technology and health-technology.
The Seattle- and Bengaluru-based Unitus is also a founding member of the Capria Network, which is an association of emerging market fund managers focussed on scaling social impact ventures while delivering returns.
In April 2018, the firm marked the first close of its second fund at Rs 100 crore (around $15 million), raising money from investors including The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Some of its recent portfolio additions include software coding platform Masai School, education loan platform Eduvanz, and a staffing company co-founded by former executives of TeamLease Services Ltd.
It has also made some exits – a complete one from the Byju's-acquired LabInApp and a partial exit from Salesken when it raised money from Sequoia Capital India.
