Almost two-thirds of registered California Republicans under the age of 40 think it would be a "good thing" if someone challenged President Donald Trump in the Republican primary, according to a new poll from UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies.
The Berkeley IGS Poll, conducted online in English and Spanish from Sept. 13 to 18, asked 4,527 registered California voters for their thoughts on Trump's presidency. Roughly 67% of the state's likely Republican, Democrat and independent voters said they were not inclined to vote for Trump in the general election and 69% said they disapproved of the job Trump is doing in office.
The poll also found that 72% of likely voters thought the country is on the "wrong track," including 93% of Democrats, 33% of Republicans and 75% of voters who do not have a preference for either party.
Roughly 60% of California's likely Republican voters said they thought it would be a "bad thing" for another Republican to challenge Trump in the primary.
"However, a significant minority of likely Republican primary voters, 40%, feel an intra-party challenger would be a good thing," said Mark DiCamillo, head of the Berkeley IGS Poll. "Most likely to feel this way are Republican voters under 40, 62% of whom think it would be a good thing for other GOP candidates to square off against Trump in the primaries."
Republicans who identified as "very conservative," "evangelical Christian" or "age 65 or older" were the most likely to view a primary challenge to Trump as a "bad thing."
The poll, the second Berkeley IGS Poll released this week, had an overall margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Macklin Not Avoiding Martinez
March 02, 2012 / Inside HBO Boxing
Sergio Martinez, Matthew MacklinWith nearly 100 different "world" title belts floating around out there in various corners of boxing's diamond-, super-, and interim-infused universe, unofficial titles that aren't accompanied by belts have taken on increasing significance in recent years. One such title is the designation of "Most Avoided Man in Boxing." It's a label that's debated among hardcore fans like the mythical pound-for-pound throne -- and brings similar pride to the fighter who wears it.
In the mid-2000s, Antonio Margarito was the near-unanimous choice for boxing's most avoided fighter. When Margarito lost a close decision to similarly risk/reward imbalanced Paul Williams on July 14, 2007, "The Punisher" became the new poster boy for elite fighters who can't find elite opponents. And when Sergio Martinez iced Williams on November 20, 2010 with a second-round left hand that earned a spot on boxing's all-time desert island highlight reel, "El Maravilla" instantly transformed into the sport's most avoided combatant.
But here's what makes Martinez unique: He's a legit champion of the world. He's THE MAN at 160 pounds, and everybody knows it; he beat Kelly Pavlik, who beat Jermain Taylor, who beat Bernard Hopkins, who beat Felix Trinidad, William Joppy, Keith Holmes, and everybody else who mattered at middleweight at the start of the current millennium. Martinez has what everybody else (theoretically) wants.
Yet, somehow, only a select few are stepping up and trying to take it.
On March 17, Irishman Matthew Macklin will become Martinez's fourth world-title challenger. Like Darren Barker and Sergei Dzindziruk immediately before him, he's facing long odds. But Macklin is perfectly worthy of the opportunity (ESPN.com ranks him third in the division, behind only Martinez and Felix Sturm, to whom Macklin dropped a highly controversial decision last June).
And just as important as being worthy, Macklin is willing.

NORFOLK, Va. -- The world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was retired from active service on Saturday, temporarily reducing the number of carriers in the U.S. fleet to 10 until 2015.
"It'll be a special memory. The tour yesterday was a highlight of the last 20 years of my life. I've missed the Enterprise since every day I walked off of it," said Kirk McDonnell, a former interior communications electrician aboard the ship from 1983 to 1987 who now lives in Highmore, S.D.
The Enterprise was the largest ship in the world at the time it was built, inheriting the nickname "Big E" from a famed World War II aircraft carrier. It didn't have to carry conventional fuel tanks for propulsion, allowing it to carry twice as much aircraft fuel and ordnance than conventional carriers at the time. Using nuclear reactors also allowed the ship to set speed records and stay out to sea during a deployment without ever having to refuel, one of the times ships are most vulnerable to attack.
"Nuclear propulsion changed everything," said Adm. John Richardson, director of Naval Reactors.
Every other aircraft carrier in the U.S. fleet is now nuclear-powered, although they only have two nuclear reactors each compared to the Enterprise's eight. The Enterprise was the only carrier of its class ever built.
The ship served in every major conflict since participating in a blockade during the Cuban Missile Crisis, helping earn its motto of "We are Legend."
Enterprise was headed back to Virginia following a regularly scheduled deployment when the Sept. 11 attacks happened. As soon as the ship's captain saw the attacks he turned around without orders to steam toward southwest Asia, where it later launched some of the first attacks against Afghanistan. The ship's captain was Adm. James A. Winnefeld, who now serves as the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
It has been returning to that region of the world ever since then, including during its 25th and final deployment that ended last month.
"She just served on the cutting edge at the tip of the spear when she returned here in November," Chief of Naval Operations Jonathan Greenert said. "It's shown that the aircraft carrier can evolve as a platform with many payloads relevant for five decades and will be part of our national security for the foreseeable future as we bring on the Gerald Ford to replace the Enterprise."
The Gerald R. Ford will be the first of a new class of aircraft carriers, but it will be several more years before it joins the fleet. Temporarily reducing the number of aircraft carriers to 10 required special congressional approval. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert said the Navy would closely watch how the increased operational tempo will affect sailors. In February, the USS Abraham Lincoln will begin a four-year refueling complex overhaul in Newport News, Va., which will also take it out of rotation.
Greenert said the Navy wants to continue having two aircraft carriers operating simultaneously in the Middle East through March, but he said he wasn't sure if that would continue past then.
While the Enterprise was inactivated Saturday, it will be several more years before it is fully decommissioned. Its nuclear fuel must first be removed by punching gigantic holes in the ship, rendering it unfit for service or turning it into a museum. It will eventually be towed to Washington state for scrapping.
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was the eighth U.S. ship to bear the name Enterprise, but it won't be the last. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said in a video message that a future aircraft carrier would be named USS Enterprise, after the delivery of the USS Gerald R. Ford and the USS John F. Kennedy.
Mabus' announcement drew a standing ovation from those on hand at Saturday's ceremony. Current and former crew members have lobbied heavily to preserve Enterprise's name so its legacy will live on.
"It just seems to be a neat name for a ship. It's better than being named for a politician," said Larry Kosnopfal, one of the ship's original crew members, who now lives in Chadfield, Minn.
When the future USS Enterprise joins the fleet, its commanding officer will be handed a 200-pound time capsule filled with Enterprise memorabilia that includes notes from sailors, insignia and small pieces of the ship. The time capsule was delivered to Greenert for safekeeping until that future commanding officer is chosen.

Country Report for Uzbekistan
LAST UPDATED: January 2020
*Uzbekistan is committed to reforming its laws to prohibit corporal punishment in all settings.*
Uzbekistan's commitment to prohibiting corporal punishment
Uzbekistan expressed its commitment to prohibiting all corporal punishment of children by clearly accepting the recommendations to do so made during the Universal Periodic Review of Uzbekistan in 2018.
Prohibition is still to be achieved in the home, alternative care settings, day care and schools.
There appears to be no confirmation in law of a "right" of parents and others with parental authority to "administer punishment" but the near universal acceptance of corporal punishment in childrearing necessitates clarity in law that no level of corporal punishment is acceptable. Prohibition should be enacted of all corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment, in the home and all other settings where adults have authority over children.
Alternative care settings – Prohibition of corporal punishment should be enacted in relation to all alternative care settings (foster care, institutions, places of safety, emergency care, etc).
Day care – Corporal punishment should be prohibited in all early childhood care (nurseries, crèches, preschools, family centres, etc) and all day care for older children (day centres, after-school childcare, childminding, etc).
Schools – Prohibition should be enacted of corporal punishment in all schools, public and private.
Corporal punishment appears to be lawful in the home. According to article 10 of the Law On Guarantees of the Rights of the Child 2008, the state shall protect the child from "all forms of exploitation, including physical, mental and sexual abuse, torture or other cruel, brutal or degrading treatment"; article 11 states that the child "has the right to be protected from abuse by parents or persons replacing the parents" (unofficial translation). The Family Code 1998 states that the child has the rights "to education by their parents, ensuring its interests, full development and respect for human dignity" (art. 65) and "to be protected from abuse by parents" (art. 67); article 75 states: "In the exercise of parental rights, parents have no right to harm the physical and mental health of children, or their moral development. Methods of educating children must exclude neglectful, cruel or degrading treatment, abuse and exploitation." Failure by parents or guardians with regarding to childrearing and educational responsibilities for their children is punishable under the Code on Administrative Responsibility 1994 (art. 47); more severe corporal punishment is punishable under and the Criminal Code 1995.
It is unclear as to whether or not the law is interpreted as prohibiting all corporal punishment in childrearing. In 2009, the Government acknowledged the inadequacy of the law in relation to corporal punishment by parents and persons replacing them and stated that work had begun on amending the Family Code prohibiting violence against family members.[1] We do not know if the above quoted Family Code provisions reflect these amendments or if further reform is planned. Under examination by the Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2013, the Government stated that corporal punishment is prohibited "in the private sphere" but did not confirm that this includes by parents in the home.[2] In May 2014, the Government informed the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights that corporal punishment was prohibited in all settings, including the home, but gave no details and the Committee went on to recommend prohibition.[3] In reporting to the Human Rights Committee in 2015, the Government stated that Uzbekistan "follows a policy of prohibiting the corporal punishment of children" but in terms of law referred only to regulations for schools and institutions and to provisions in the Guardianship and Custody Act of 2 January 2014 on monitoring the conditions of care and upbringing of children.[4] This Act protects children from situations which pose a risk to their life or health or when parents do not fulfil their obligations towards their children, and sets out the rights and obligations if guardians and custodians and the rights of wards – including the rights to "respectful and humane treatment" and to "care of their maintenance, upbringing, education and health" (art. 33, unofficial translation) – but there is no clear prohibition of all corporal punishment in childrearing.
During its Universal Periodic Review in July 2018, the Government reported that the law on combatting domestic violence had been adopted.[5] However, a later report from the Government stated that under a "programme of practical measures" adopted in July 2018 a Bill was to be "prepared on the prevention of domestic violence".[6] We have no further information. The Government signalled its commitment to prohibition by clearly accepting the recommendation to prohibit in all settings made during the same Universal Periodic Review in 2018.[7]
There is no explicit prohibition of corporal punishment in alternative care settings. Children are protected from some but not all corporal punishment under article 10 of the Law on Guarantees of the Rights of the Child 2008 and article 75 of the Family Code 1998 (see under "Home").
There is no explicit prohibition of corporal punishment in early childhood care and in day care for older children. Children are protected from some but not all corporal punishment under article 10 of the Law on Guarantees of the Rights of the Child 2008 and article 75 of the Family Code 1998 (see under "Home").
Corporal punishment is considered unlawful in schools under article 10 of the Law On Guarantees of the Rights of the Child 2008 (see under "Home"), but it is not explicitly prohibited. The Law On Education 1997 is silent on the issue.
In 2009, the Government was considering amendments to the law on education and other laws and regulations governing education institutions which would prohibit corporal punishment. In reporting to the Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2010, the Government stated that corporal punishment "is prohibited in general and special education establishments under specific provisions in the relevant regulations, standard rules and statutes" and "accordingly, 'childfriendly school' principles are introduced in the educational institutions, and all conditions necessary for development along those lines are created".[8] We have found no legal texts which include explicit prohibition of corporal punishment.
Corporal punishment is unlawful as a disciplinary measure in penal institutions under article 10 of the Law On Guarantees of the Rights of the Child 2008 (see under "Home"), though it is not explicitly prohibited. The Criminal Procedure Code 1994 states that "no one shall be subjected to torture or other cruel or humiliating or degrading treatment" (art. 17) and prohibits "inhumane treatment of persons held in custody". The Criminal and Executive Code 1997 does not include corporal punishment among permitted disciplinary measures in penal institutions, though it does provide for the use of physical force when other methods fail, including the use of rubber truncheons, handcuffs, dogs, water cannons; these should not be used against minors "when their age is obvious or known" (art. 71). According to the Law on Prevention of Neglect and Offences Among Minors 2010, individual preventive work with minors must be carried out "humanely, without degrading the honor and human dignity" (art. 24). In 2012, a Juvenile Justice Act was being drafted:[9] we have no details of its provisions.
Corporal punishment is unlawful as a sentence for crime. There is no provision for judicial corporal punishment in the Criminal Code 1995, the Criminal Procedure Code 1994, the Code on Administrative Responsibility 1994 and the Law on Prevention of Neglect and Offences Among Minors 2010. Article 7 of the Criminal Code states: "Penalties and other measures of legal influence shall not be aimed to cause physical suffer or humiliation of human dignity." Minors who commit offences are often dealt with by the mahallyas (associations of families living in the same area acting as organs of local authority) rather than the courts: we do not know if corporal punishment could be imposed in this context.

(10 July 2013, CRC/C/UZB/CO/3-4, Concluding observations on third/fourth report, paras. 38, 39, 40 and 41)
"While welcoming the implementation of a national programme of action for the application of the Convention against Torture, the Committee regrets that the definition of torture in Article 235 of the State party Penal Code does not fully comply with the definition stipulated in the Convention against Torture as stated by the Committee against Torture in its latest concluding observations on the State party (CAT/C/UZB/CO/3, para. 5,). Furthermore, the Committee remains gravely concerned about continued reports of torture and ill-treatment being routinely used in investigations, including of persons under the age of 18 years. The Committee is also deeply concerned about the use of solitary cells ("kartcers") as punishment in juvenile prisons. Furthermore, the Committee is seriously concerned about the frequent use of forced labour as a form of punishment for children in government institutions such as schools and orphanages.
"With reference to the Committee's general comment No. 8 (2006) on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment as well as general comment No. 13 (2011) on the right of the child to freedom from all forms of violence, the Committee urges the State party to:
a) further strengthen its measures to effectively investigate the allegations of torture and ill-treatment of persons under 18, and take all measures to bring the alleged perpetrators to justice with commensurate sanctions;
b) ensure that the conditions and treatment of children in juvenile prisons are in full compliance with the Convention and the United Nations Rules on the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (A/RES/45/113), including by ceasing the use of solitary cells ("kartcers"); and,
c) prohibit, by law, the use of forced labour as a form of punishment for children in government institutions such as schools and orphanages.
"While noting the statement regarding the prohibition of corporal punishment in all settings made by the State party during the interactive dialogue with it, the Committee is concerned that, in practice, corporal punishment continues to occur frequently in the domestic context and in alternative care settings.
"With reference to the Committee's general comment No. 8 (2006) on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment, the Committee urges the State party to:
a) ensure that its legislation explicitly prohibits corporal punishment in all settings, including in the home and alternative care, and establish monitoring and reporting mechanisms to enforce such a prohibition;
b) undertake targeted awareness-raising, including campaigns, to promote positive, non-violent and participatory forms of child-rearing and discipline instead of corporal punishment; and,
c) conduct research to learn about the public opinion and attitudes of professionals, parents and children on corporal punishment in order to better target awareness-raising and training programmes, and ensure that positive parenting and non-violent communication become well-known."
(2 June 2006, CRC/C/UZB/CO/2, Concluding observations on second report, paras. 44 and 45)
"While noting that corporal punishment is prohibited in schools, the Committee notes with concern the reports that it is widely practiced in the family and in institutions.
"The Committee recommends that the State party take into account its general comment No. 8 on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment (2006), and:
a) prohibit corporal punishment by law in institutions and the family and ensure that legislation is properly enforced in schools and institutions, and complied with in the family;
b) carries out public education campaigns about the negative consequences of ill-treatment of children in order to change attitudes about corporal punishment, and promote positive, non-violent forms of discipline in schools, in institutions and at home."
(7 November 2001, CRC/C/15/Add.168, Concluding observations on initial report, paras. 39, 40, 45 and 46)
"The Committee is deeply concerned by numerous and continuing reports of ill-treatment of persons under 18 by the militia, including psychological intimidation, corporal punishment, including for purposes of extorting confessions. The Committee deplores the insufficient efforts to investigate allegations of torture, as well as the failure to prosecute alleged perpetrators.
"In the light of article 37 of the Convention, and recalling the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials, adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 34/169 of 17 December 1979, the Committee urges the State party to:
a) take all necessary effective steps to prevent incidents of ill-treatment from occurring;
b) implement the recommendations made by the Human Rights Committee (CCPR/CO/71/UZB), and the Committee against Torture (A/55/44, paras. 76-81);
c) provide the militia with training on how to deal with persons under 18;
d) ensure children are adequately informed of their rights when they are arrested and detained;
e) ensure that complaints procedures are simplified so that responses are appropriate, timely and child-sensitive, and provide rehabilitative support for victims.
"The Committee is concerned that there is insufficient information and awareness of the ill-treatment and abuse of children within the family, schools and institutions.
"The Committee recommends that the State party:
a) conduct a study to assess the nature and extent of ill-treatment and abuse of children, and design policies and programmes to address them;
b) take legislative measures to prohibit all forms of physical and mental violence, including corporal punishment and sexual abuse of children in the family, schools, and in institutions, taking into account WHO's 'European Strategies and Recommendations for Child Protection';
c) carry out public education campaigns about the negative consequences of ill-treatment of children, and promote positive, non-violent forms of discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment…."
Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
(23 May 2014, E/C.12/UZB/CO/2 Advance Unedited Version, Concluding observations on second report, para. 20)
"The Committee is concerned about the persistence of corporal punishment, which is not explicitly prohibited under the law (arts. 7, 10 (3), and 13).
The Committee urges the State party to ensure the prohibition of corporal punishment in all settings, including in the home, at school and in alternative care, and to conduct training and awareness-raising campaigns. It refers the state party to its recommendation on discipline in schools as contained in its general comment no. 13 (1999) on the right to education."

BOTs are known by different names; including Internet Robots, Spiders, Crawlers, and Web BOTs. All of these refer to the same technology. So, what exactly are these BOTs? These are automated systems on the internet that are used for various reasons. In the past, these BOTs simply performed repetitive jobs like indexing a search. Today, BOTs have evolved to perform more advanced tasks. Now, these BOTs can search online for you, tell you the weather, set an alarm, automatically interact with customers, relay chats, shop for clothes, find restaurants, and more. There are some big brands that are invested in the opportunities that BOTs present. Brands like Disney, HSBC, Dell, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and many others are doing research in this technology and have already launched products in the field. Siri is a good example of a BOT that can perform various automated tasks for the customers.
While we speak about the many advantages that BOTs will have in the future, we need to also mention that these BOTs are being also used as malware. Stronger security measures need to be implemented to ensure that the negative uses of BOTs are eliminated.
Where & Why are BOTs Used?
The first reason why BOTs are being used is because of the customization that they can offer to customers. They can act as a smart newspaper and send relevant content as and when it is published. Plus, these BOTs can offer weather forecasts for your region; provide translations, and much more.
Another reason why these BOTs are being used is because of the time & money that they can save. Let's take an example of Chat BOTs that relay instant messages. This would mean that customers get instant answers 24 by 7. Moreover, companies have to employ fewer staff in customer service, whose role is to simply respond to customer requests.
Intelligent Ecommerce websites can make use of BOTs to create virtual storefronts. Offerings can be developed on the basis of customers' liking, preferences, and previous purchase history.
BOTs can also act as your salesperson by efficiently up-selling and cross-selling to your Ecommerce customers. Take an example of a customer who just put a product in the cart. On the basis of that purchase, the BOT will offer similar or complementary products to the customer. That increases the chances of having higher sales.
At this point, BOTs are also being used to match people. In other words, people are put together on the basis of their similar interests and the ones with common interests are connected. This works perfectly well for social media websites as well as dating sites.
Today, everyone is starved for time. There is a lot that needs to be done, and performing all of those tasks needs effective multitasking. That is what BOTs can let you do. Let us take an example. In the past, if you wanted to reserve a table at a restaurant; you had to close your texting conversation and go to the Maps app to look for restaurants near you. After you did that, you had to close the Maps app to go the restaurants' websites in order to check their menu. Post that, you closed the browser to make a phone call for reservation. Today, Siri can do that all for you from just one interface and so can Google Now & Cortona.
Some studies suggest that by 2020, there will be more than 50 billion connected devices. That means that there will be a need for technology to keep these devices connected, and BOTs will let you do that. They will help to connect & communicate between different devices such as smart phones, smart watches, smart cases, and other IoT devices.
We touched upon this earlier. By developing BOTs, companies will be able to save time & money. They will be able to relocate their employees into more strategic tasks instead of having them simply address customer tasks or perform other repetitive activities.
By gathering necessary information, BOTs can customize your offerings. Like based on your shopping interests it will suggest you during your future purchases or help you find a deal for the product you were browsing but, have not bought. This will help to build better customer engagement.
Every new technology has some drawbacks with its positives. Here are some of the disadvantages that BOTs present to the customers as well as the companies that are developing them.
First things first, BOTs gather a lot of information about the users. As an example, Google knows your office address, home address, where you travel, what you search for, and more. As this technology becomes more advanced, there will be more instances of such information gathering. So if your information is ever hacked, you will incur some serious loss.
Malwares are being created by using BOTs. Therefore, there is a security concern that needs to be addressed.
This drawback can cause frustration for the customers as well as for the companies. The technology of BOTs is still in its nascent stage. When you ask Siri a question, there are times when she doesn't understand the question or doesn't answer properly. Similarly, Facebook Chat BOT has had some problems too. However, it is getting better with time; and these problems should soon be eliminated.
It is becoming increasingly important to only download apps and go to websites that are trustable. Otherwise, BOTs have the capacity of working undercover and causing malwares or even spamming your chat boxes & email inboxes. As an example, when you register with a website that you didn't mean to; your inbox will be spammed with junk emails that are sent way too regularly for your comfort.
Our experience, at WeblineIndia, helps us understand the life cycle of technology well. We have been in the business for nearly two decades now, and our software developers have adopted and provided solutions for numerous different technologies in this time frame. We understand how new technologies need to be researched, and how to bring the best out of them. That's what we can do with BOTs too. If you have an idea in mind, we can refine that and get that executed for your business. Our objective is to make your business realize the real benefits of BOTs.
We, at WeblineIndia, provide Offshore BOTs development services for All Your Business Outsourcing Needs. Contact us NOW!!!

Book review – Our Biggest Experiment: A History of the Climate Crisis
Writing a book about climate change is challenging due to the scale and many facets of the problem. With Our Biggest Experiment, climate campaigner, writer, and lecturer in science communication Alice Bell delivers a large book that tightly focuses on the history of both climate change research and our current fossil-fuel-dominated energy system. Driven largely by her curiosity about the people behind the data on climate change, this well-structured and easily readable book is full of remarkable stories. Bell excels in drawing your attention to the individual strands that make up the complex texture and weave of this huge history. As such, this is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in the backstory of how we arrived at our current predicament.

Source: A Multi-center Study of ICU Telemedicine Reengineering of Adult Critical Care.
There are millions of critical care patients in the US and not nearly enough providers to care for them.
To address this alarming shortage, hospitals need to rethink their approach to patient population management. It's not about the number of clinicians; it's about leveraging resources to provide consistent, high-quality care.
Telehealth technologies can help by enabling round-the-clock patient monitoring with limited staff. But technology alone isn't enough. That's why our comprehensive tele-icu solutions also include clinical support and proven processes to help you maximize capabilities, reduce costs and improve patient care.
Learn more about telehealth solutions for Critical Care.
Monitor more than 100 patients from one ICU center.
eICU communicates with bedside in real-time with 2-way audio/video.
According to a recent report in CHEST Journal's Online First, ICU telemedicine is the key to improving patient care at a lower cost. The study examined the impact of Philips Hospital to Home eICU Program on 118,990 critical care patients, across 56 ICUs, 32 hospitals and 19 health systems over a five-year period. The results demonstrated reductions in both mortality and length of stay.
The eICU program is a comprehensive technology and clinical reengineering program that features proprietary clinical decision support, real-time reporting tools and targeted process redesign.
The Providence Alaska Medical Center eICU Team wins the first HCI/AMDIS IT Innovation Advocate Award.

Q: How to generate a view of pairs from an array? I have a C array of ints, and its size, i.e. int* arr, unsigned size. I want to have something like a view from it, which will have pairs of ints as elements.
To clarify, the task is: I receive an array like [1,2,3,4] and I want a view, which will be something like [(1,2),(3,4)].
Is there any convenient way to transform array in such a way via boost, or maybe, ranges (std::ranges, or range-v3)?

A: With range v3, you may create a range of range of size 2 with ranges::v3::view::chunk(2)
or create a tuple:
auto r = ranges::view::counted(p, size);
auto even = r | ranges::view::stride(2);
auto odd = r | ranges::view::drop(1) | ranges::view::stride(2);
auto pairs = ranges::view::zip(even, odd);

Demo

A: You can use range-v3, it has span to view a raw array, and view::chunk to group adjacent elements:
#include <iostream>
#include <range/v3/view/chunk.hpp>
#include <range/v3/span.hpp>
#include <range/v3/algorithm/for_each.hpp>

namespace view = ranges::view;

int main() {
    int vec[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
    ranges::span<int> s(vec, sizeof(vec)/sizeof(vec[0]));

    ranges::for_each(s | view::chunk(2), [] (auto chunk) {
                std::pair pr{chunk.at(0), chunk.at(1)};

                std::cout << pr.first << " " << pr.second << "\n";
            });
}

This article provides an account of the processes leading to the report Transforming teacher education. Redefined professionals for 21st century schools. This paper traces the rationale for the International Alliance of Leading Education Institutes (IA), identification of institutional members, and the intended goals and objectives of the IA. The article also identifies the challenges of consolidating the vast amount of information across different contexts, languages and cultures, Finally, the key assertions in the IA report, including implications for coverage of initial teacher education, induction and professional development, and successful school, university and community partnerships, are highlighted.
Authors: Hogan David, Gopinathan S.
In 1997, Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE) committed itself to an ambitious program of pedagogical reform in Singaporean schools in anticipation of the kind of institutional challenges that young Singaporeans were likely to face in the coming decades. Since then, the Ministry has designed and implemented a series of initiatives that will go a considerable distance to achieve its objectives. These initiatives focus on substantial changes in the system of 'instructional governance' in Singapore over the past decade, and efforts to change the pattern of classroom pedagogy. But the authors argue that these initiatives do not go quite far enough to close the gap between policy and practice.


He shared his views and readings on Glenmark Pharma, Jubilant Foodworks, SRF, Amara Raja Batteries, Petronet LNG, Biocon, Reliance Capital, Interglobe Aviation.
Talking about stocks, he said, "Glenmark is a sell with a stop at Rs 652 and look for declines close to Rs 630 zones. The second sell is Amara Raja Batteries where the indicator setup has turned negative. So sell with a stop at Rs 728, Rs 690 or thereabout should be the target. Jubilant Foodworks, there is continuation signals on the upside. So any 4-6 point dip if you get with a gap down, then buy with a stop at Rs 1,404 and look for targets of Rs 1,465. SRF is a buy as well. Buy with a stop at Rs 2,420 for target of Rs 2,525."

Bangladesh have not lost a single match to Zimbabwe in last 5 years beating them in all 10 matches.
Bangladesh have also not lost to Zimbabwe at home since Dec 2010 winning all 13 matches.
Bangladesh have a winning percentage of about 65 in the last 3 years at home winning 9 of 14 matches.
A fighting Asia Cup must have boosted the confidence of this Bangladesh team, but they are not without their problems. Their prime opener Tamim Iqbal and one of world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will sit out injured. Bangladesh have included uncapped Fazle Mahmud, an exciting left-hand batsman, and Mohammad Saifuddin, a seamer, in the team to replace the injured.
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza and the key fast bowler Mustafizur Rehman are injured as well but they should recover before the start of the match and have declared themselves available.In the absence of Soumya Sarkar and Mominul Haque, Liton Das, Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim would be Bangladesh's key batsmen. Fazle Mahmud is an exciting talent to look forward to.
But what recent history has shown is that Bangladesh can push almost anyone especially in the subcontinent. The absence of a few key players gives them an opportunity test out a few fringe players and have them ready for the World Cup 2019.
Zimbabwe will come into this match having lost all 10 previous ODI matches which include a heartbreaking 3 run loss to UAE at home that put them out of the upcoming World Cup 2019.
Comprehensive defeats against Pakistan - 0-4 at home - and against South Africa - 0-3 away from home - must have blunted the confidence of the team.
Things look even bleaker for Zimbabwe considering their weakness against spin that allowed Imran Tahir to run through their batting lineup in the recently concluded South Africa tour. And the fact that only Sean Williams could score a half century, speaks of the batting hole they found themselves in right now.
The newcomer Brandon Mavuta, the leg spinner, will be a key player for Zimbabwe. He was the only one who could make an effect in SA. Fast bowler Blessing Muzarbani is an exciting talent as well.
Hamilton Masakazda's form is a concern. He along with Sean Williams and Brandon Taylor would be looking to form the core of Zimbabwean batting.
The pitch at Shere Bangla Stadium offers some helps to seamers initially. The conditions ease out as the day progresses. Spinners will come into the play in the later stages. This is the start of the winter, so the dew should not be a problem just yet. But teams should take that into consideration nonetheless.
The team winning the toss would want to bat first here despite early assistance to seamers. Bangladesh have won 9 of their 14 day-night matches winning the toss and batting first at Dhaka. The help that spinners get at later stages can be utilized to put the brakes on the scoring and make inroads while defending.
Zimbabwe should look to take advantage of a bit of inexperience in Bangladesh team because of the injuries to the first choice players. However, looking at the conditions, history and the recent form, Bangladesh looks set to win the first match to start their campaign against Zimbabwe at Dhaka on 21st October.
Our Prediction is that Bangladesh to win the 1st ODI against Zimbabwe.

Q: CSS Transitions not working after converting from jQuery to Vanilla JS I recently decided to convert the old code in my  from jQuery to Vanilla JS.
Basically, when you click the hamburger, the mobile menu is displayed fading-in and all the links transition should start. I tried to "replace" the fadeToggle() function adding the class mob-menu-show with a simple opacity transition but it doesn't work, same for all the links traslate transitions previously working with jQuery. With jQuery I had no issues at all, the transitions used to run everytime I opened the mobile menu. I think this is something related to the JS code that in a certain way does not execute the transitions, because the class mobile-menu-animations it is actually triggered since I can see the right opacity. Thank you for any help and sorry if the code is messy, I just started now.

Converted JS
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {

  let hamb = document.querySelector('.hamburger')
  let mobmenu = document.querySelector('.mobile-menu')
  let mobanim = document.querySelector('.mobile-menu-controls')
  let bdy = document.querySelector('body')

  });
});

A: Use visibility: hidden;
display: none. cannot perform a transition well.

A: As others have mentioned, transitions with a display css attribute kind of sucks. You can use keyframes and animations to get around this though. You will want to update the other transitions to use keyframes as well as I'm only animating to opacity in this example.

let hamb = document.querySelector('.hamburger')
let mobmenu = document.querySelector('.mobile-menu')
let mobanim = document.querySelector('.mobile-menu-controls')
let bdy = document.querySelector('body')

hamb.addEventListener('click', function() {

If you dont want to keyframe out all your transitions, you can use javascript to kind of do the same thing using this method.

*

*On click, manually set the display attribute to block.

*Use setTimeout to wait on our styles to be flushed to the DOM.

*Add our classnames.

Belle cuisine is a collection of baking dishes, bakers, ramekins, soufflés and casseroles that all have handles. These individual crème brulee dishes can be used as shallow ramekins, with small sturdy handles for easy grip: very convenient to take them in and out of the oven or microwave. We offer them in 2 sizes and 2 colors. Black makes them look like small cast iron cassolettes but they are much lighter than cast iron; they hold the heat very well, are resistant and durable, easy to wash and will not rust. Available in white.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Crème brulee, desserts, small casseroles and side dishes.

We are developing code-division multiplexing (CDM) readout systems for TES arrays for good scalability to large multiplexing factors. We report high energy resolution x-ray measurements made through four-channel CDM that employ a flux-summing architecture, emphasizing data analysis issues. We describe an empirical method to determine the demodulation matrix to minimize cross-talk. All resolutions are estimated with a full maximum-likelihood fit to energy histogram,avoiding the bias towards good resolution that arises in simpler chi-squared fits. The present CDM system has achieved energy resolutions of between 2.3 and 3.0 eV FWHM at 6 keV.

Online Sustainability Summit
Iain Robertson
Credit: AdobeStock
Online events and platforms are replacing conference venues as spaces where innovation and collaboration are being given a space to thrive. While the days of summits and exhibitions will return – to some extent, the switch online is likely to gather pace post-pandemic, as the world calculates the potential health and climate costs of such gatherings.
It looks like lockdown is delivering a new era of communication faster than expected. So as well as tracking online challenges relating to COVID-19 in recent months, we have also been posting about online events readers might be interested in. This month's free online Coimbra Sustainability Summit is one of those events. Led by the Diatomic project, supported by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, it will explore a range of topics, including health, agri-food and sustainable cities. The bumper two-week summit will focus on impacts relating to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and opportunities for growth between four key 'areas of digitalization' – Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Internet of Things and Cybersecurity (4 KETs).
The Coimbra Sustainability Summit is on from 18 to 29 May – registration is free.
We are tracking information on online challenges, funding calls, and initiatives dedicated to tackling COVID-19. Sign up for our regular newsletters in the box below for all the latest on these and please share relevant details to colleagues and friends to help accelerate solutions.
