Q: How to force Firebase database call to be synchronous? I am using firebase with reactjs and i have an issue for rendering data fetched from firebase.
My reactjs component loads before data, so  when my webpage is loaded, it remains blank for a short time before data are displayed.
But i don't want my page to load without data have been successfully loaded before. So , i've tried to manipulate state in the constructor but i think the issue come from firebase. Because firebase fetch data asynchronously even in constructor() and componentDidMount()
so render() is called even if firebase didn't finish to send data.
How can i totally prevent react to render without firebase didn't send the result ?

constructor(props){
super(props)
post = database.ref().child('posts').orderByKey().equalTo(id)
      post.once('value').then(snap => {
        // I get the snap here but i don't want my page to render before
        // all data queried have been fetched

      }).then(function(){
        // I've tried to add a "then" callback but it doesn't work
        // Render is still displayed too soon
      })

}

render(){
 let data = this.state.data
 return(
 // simple example
   <span>{this.state.data}</span>
 )

}

thanks.

A: You can fetch the data, and then once you have it, and only once you have it, do you ReactDOM.render.
It doesn't stop the page from loading and your css will apply, there just won't be any content in body.

Listen: Why Are Men Falling Behind Women on Campus?
Share this article: The College Fix on Facebook The College Fix on Twitter The College Fix on Youtube Share on Email
This week, College Fix Senior Reporter Christian Schneider appeared on The John Steigerwald Show in Pittsburgh to discuss his recent article about how women are surging ahead of men on college campuses in America.
From Schneider's article:
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 57.8 percent of all undergraduate college degrees and nearly 60 percent of all master's degrees will be earned by women in 2018. All total, 420,000 more women than men will earn Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctoral degrees this year.
According to NCES data, 44 percent of all American women in 2016 between the ages of 18 and 24 were enrolled in degree-granting postsecondary institutions, compared to only 39 percent of all males in the same age group. That same year, 38.9 percent of all women between the ages of 25 and 34 had a bachelor's or higher degree; only 31.1 percent of men could say the same.
For the most part, Ivy League schools maintain a relatively equal gender balance between males and females — although historically, women had always been behind and have only recently made strides to catch up. But at America's larger public schools, women have pulled ahead, often dramatically.
According to U.S. News and World's Report's 2019 "Best Public Schools" ranking, campuses at America's best public universities are now majority-female.
At the University of California-Berkeley, UC-Irvine, and the University of Texas-Austin, women make up 53 percent of the student body. At the University of Virginia, it's 55 percent, at the University of Georgia and UCLA it's 57 percent, at the College of William and Mary, it's 58 percent, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill boasts a 59 percent female campus.
On the radio, Schneider and Steigerwald discussed these findings and the possible causes of men falling behind in college.

Truss says 'deal to be done' on Northern Ireland Protocol as she meets Sefcovic
British foreign secretary Liz Truss is having her first face-to-face meeting with European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic over Brexit issues.
By David Hughes, PA Political Editor
Liz Truss said the European Union had a "clear responsibility" to solve the problems caused by Northern Ireland's post-Brexit deal as she prepared for her first face-to-face talks with Maros Sefcovic.
The British foreign secretary, who assumed responsibility for the negotiations following Lord Frost's resignation, will host European Commission vice-president Mr Sefcovic at her Chevening country retreat in Kent for talks on Thursday and Friday.
She said the EU must show a "pragmatic approach" to the issues created by the Northern Ireland Protocol, which effectively creates a trade barrier in the Irish Sea for goods crossing from Britain in order to prevent a hard border with Ireland.
Mr Sefcovic will be treated to a dinner of Scottish smoked salmon, Welsh lamb and apple pie made with fruit from Kent.
European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic (Hollie Adams/PA)
Ms Truss said: "There is a deal to be done that protects peace in Northern Ireland, defends our Union, and maintains the integrity of the United Kingdom and EU.
"But it will require a pragmatic approach from the EU.
"I will be putting forward practical, reasonable solutions starting from these fundamental principles, with a view to agreeing a plan for intensive negotiations.
"The EU has a clear responsibility to help fix the myriad problems caused by the protocol and protect the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
"As fellow believers in liberty and democracy, we should be capable of reaching an agreement that delivers for Northern Ireland and allows us to unleash the full potential of our relationship".

Q: Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and Holder's inequality Let $f, g \in L^2([-\pi , \pi ], \mu , \mathbb{R} )$ then I have already showed that $$ \int |fg| \,{\rm d} \mu \leq \|f\|_2 \|g\|_2 $$ and I have shown that this is an equality if and only if $|f|=c|g|$ almost everywhere or $\|f\|_2 \|g\|_2 =0$.
Now I have showed that $$ \left| \int fg \,{\rm d} \mu \right| \leq \|f\|_2 \|g\|_2 $$ and I am trying to show that this is an equality if and only if $f=cg$ almost everywhere or $\|f\|_2 \|g\|_2 =0$.
Now I know that $$\left| \int fg \,{\rm d} \mu \right| \leq \int |fg| \,{\rm d} \mu \leq \|f\|_2 \|g\|_2$$ and so these all must be equalities so I know that from the equality on the right, we must have $ |f|=c|g| $ almost everywhere or $\|f\|_2 \|g\|_2 =0$ but then with the equality on the right hand side I need to show that this means that $f=cg$ almost everywhere but I'm not sure how.


"The HARP program allows borrowers, including those who are underwater on their mortgage and who are regularly making their mortgage payments, to refinance their loans to take advantage of historically low interest rates.
The Home Affordable Refinance Program (aka HARP or HARP 2.0) is set to retire at the end of 2015. Homeowners who have a mortgage that was securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac with a Note date prior to June 1, 2009 may be eligible for a HARP refinance.
What would you do with an extra $372?
$372 is the average monthly savings that my clients who have closed on their refi's so far in March. With higher appraised values, thanks to the hot real estate market driving up home prices, many clients are also eliminating mortgage insurance with their refi.
According to Housing Wire, it looks like HARP (aka the Home Affordable Refinance Program) may once again be extended through 2016. The HARP program was created for home owners who have conventional Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgages and who had lost equity in their homes due to the mortgage meltdown, making it impossible to refinance. With HARP, appraisals are often not required and over the past few years, underwriting guidelines have become more relaxed with this program. So why the "so what"?
HARP (aka the Home Affordable Refi Program or HARP 2.0) is set to expire at the end of 2015. HARP is a refinance program that was designed to help home owners who have good credit, income and job stability and would qualify for a refi except for the reduced value on their home.
HARP is available to home owners who have a conventional mortgage securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (this is different than where you make your mortgage payments to).
Last week, Senators Boxer and Menendez reintroduced a bill to Congress that would allow more "responsible home owners" to refinance under the Home Affordable Refinance Program (aka HARP 3).
The current average interest rate for a 30-year mortgage is 3.53 percent – a rate that remains near its historical low. Nevertheless, there are nearly 12 million homeowners with loans guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who could benefit from refinancing, many of whom cannot refinance at a lower rate because of unnecessary red tape and high fees. That red tape has limited competition among banks, so borrowers – even those who are able to refinance – end up paying higher interest rates than they would if they were able to shop around.
Under the Administration's current refinancing program (HARP), an average homeowner saves about $2,500 per year. This bill would increase the amount they could save and expand refinancing opportunities for millions of eligible borrowers.
Extend HARP by one year, to allow eligible borrowers more time to access the program.
From this press release, I'm not seeing where this bill would help responsible home owners who do not have mortgages securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac nor am I seeing that this bill would remove the requirement that the mortgage be securitized prior to June 1, 2009.
Stay tuned…I'll continue to keep you posted.

Business executives typically exemplify traits like determination, resourcefulness, and the keen use of foresight. Most C-suite employees spend years honing their ability to present themselves clearly and articulately, whether they're delivering a well-prepared speech or speaking off the cuff at an impromptu networking event. Confidence in job interviews stems largely from the skills executives have already cultivated; however, finding career success isn't just about articulating the perfect response, but also about asking the right questions. Asking questions during an interview shows the HR rep that you're passionate about the potential job. It also reveals just how well the company may fit your ideal career. During your next executive job interview, ask the interviewer these questions.
"What is the office culture like?" Company culture has become a hot business issue in recent years, and for good reason. Nothing tells a business executive how well he or she will fit the company's model like learning about the preferred dress code, internal structure, team building efforts, and coworker relationships within the company.
Ask about current situations. Every executive worth his salt does extensive research before interviewing with a new company. Broadcast your knowledge and learn about their current leadership team's problem-handling skills by asking the about conflict resolution, strategies for achieving growth, and innovative solutions for current situations.
Get personal. Ask your interviewer how their career has developed to gain a better understanding of the company's internal structure.
"Can you describe the relationship between leadership teams and lower level employees?" Few relationships reveal more about the climate of a company than how well their leaders work with the people who form the backbone of the company. Look for good management tactics, areas that need smoothing, and communication breakdowns that could erode trust over time.
"What questions would you like to ask me, but haven't?" Whether one of your questions has sparked a new query or the interviewer held back during the initial screening, chances are your interviewer has at least one question up his sleeve. Providing an opening to ask it will leave him with a positive impression of the interview. It also gives you one final opportunity to promote your executive skills.

In the digital age, traditional job search wisdom isn't always relevant. The advent of digital networking, social media, and personal branding affect how professionals find, apply for, and land new jobs. But the influx of technology hasn't changed the game for the job search alone; it's also revolutionized how HR teams interview qualified executives. If you've enjoyed a stable career for more than 5 years, you've likely never experienced the hallmark of the digital job search: the video interview.
Check your equipment. Apart from a solid resume, the best way to prove your worth is to prepare for your interview. For a traditional interview preparation means researching the company, practicing articulating responses to common interview questions, and knowing how to speak authoritatively about your executive history. For a video interview preparation means checking your audio and video, double checking your power source, and doing a test video call the day before the scheduled interview.
Set the stage. Before beginning a video interview, choose a professional setting in your home that's clean and well-lit. Ask family members to avoid your corner of the house while the interview is in progress. If you have pets, make arrangements to keep them off-screen (both visibly and audibly) during your interview.
Dress for success. It's tempting to dress for comfort — on the bottom, at least — for a video interview. Avoid the temptation to wear faded slacks or flat shoes for a video interview. Your interviewer won't see below your ribcage, but dressing professionally creates a mental reminder to be exceptional throughout the interview.
Remember: it's an interview. Even executives experience the pitfalls of the digital job interview. When you're technically alone in the room, it's easy to fall prey to bad posture, nervous ticks, or poor eye contact. Behave as you would in a traditional job interview, even if the format feels less formal than an in-person appraisal.
Create a strong personal brand for your executive job search. Call Executive Resumes Atlanta.
It's easy to get lost in the tedium of the job search process: honing your resume, mining new connections on LinkedIn, asking your professional network about job openings, and playing the waiting game. Job interviews add novelty to the process, offering a viable way to sell your skills and connect with the office culture without appearing overzealous. But the interview itself is not the only hurdle when landing a new career. Go from "candidate number 1" to "onboarding executive" with these wrap-up tips for executive job interviews.
Check your ego at the door. There's a fine line between confidence and over-confidence. Confidence wins executive careers; overconfidence leaves interviewers feeling sour. Don't push the bounds of politeness in the hopes of tipping the interview in your favor. The query "Did I get the job?" should never enter the interview space (and should stay clear of follow-up emails, too).
Be proactive. Don't let the hiring manager dominate the conversation. After answering your interviewer's questions, ask a few of your own. Learn about job requirements, salary, and office culture. As you exit the interview, ask the HR team what to expect from the decision-making process. To make a greater impact (and expand your professional network), ask whether you can connect with your interviewers on LinkedIn.
Don't forget to follow-up. Keep yourself fresh in the mind of HR by sending a prompt follow-up note after your interview. To make an greater impact, send a "thank you" email that same day.
Keep following up. There's a fine line between proactive and pushy; executives who walk it have better job search success than those who don't. If the hiring manager discloses that a lengthy decision-making process is imminent, check in periodically. Instead of asking, "Have you made a decision yet?" add value by sharing an industry-related article or congratulating your contact on a job-related success. You'll keep your interview fresh in the manager's mind without harassing him.
To learn more about creating an impactful resume, acing interviews, and effectively managing your LinkedIn profile, call Executive Resumes Atlanta.
When executives decide to change careers, it typically makes the most financial sense for them to remain in their current position until they've signed a new contract. Most C-suite professionals have experience juggling their work and personal lives, but when that personal life bleeds into the business sphere, maintaining boundaries becomes more challenging. Learn how to maintain your job while searching for a new career with these tips from Executive Resumes Atlanta.
The simplest way to get fired for your job search is to discuss it on social media, but that's not an executive's only concern. Digital networking is a cornerstone of today's job search market, but it comes with its own set of pitfalls. Before searching for a new career, adjust your privacy settings on LinkedIn. You can also prevent your professional network from receiving notifications about your online activity by refraining from mentioning your job search on Facebook. Never use office computers to research fresh career opportunities.
Dress appropriately. If your office has a business casual dress code, wearing a full suit to work will raise red flags. Always dress appropriately. When interviewing for a new position, find a neutral location offsite to change into interview attire.
Consider your references. If your aim is to retain your job until securing a new one, choose your references wisely. High level coworkers may seem like solid references, but revealing your job search to anyone at the office increases the likelihood that your boss will discover it. Use former employers and professionals from your broader business network as references. Always request that they don't mention your job search until you've accepted a new position.
Remember your obligations. If you're searching for a new career it's probably because you're dissatisfied with your current position. However, unless you plan to resign and focus fully on your job search, don't let research, job interviews, or networking undermine your current career. Respect your employer by performing at your highest level, even if you intend to resign.

En física, una mesofase es un estado de materia intermedio entre líquido y sólido. La gelatina es un ejemplo común de una estructura parcialmente ordenada en una mesofase. Además, las estructuras biológicas tales como las bicapas lipídicas de las membranas celulares son ejemplos de mesofases.

Georges Friedel (1922) llamó la atención sobre los "estados mesomórficos de la materia". en su evaluación científica de las observaciones de los llamados cristales líquidos. Convencionalmente, un cristal es sólido, y la cristalización convierte líquido en sólido. El oxímoron del cristal líquido se resuelve a través de la noción de mesofases. Las observaciones observaron un eje óptico que persistía en los materiales que se habían fundido y habían comenzado a fluir. El término cristal líquido persiste como un coloquialismo, pero el uso del término fue criticado en 1993: En The Physics of Liquid Crystals, las mesofases se introducen desde el principio: llamó atención los "estados mesomórficos de la materia" en su valoración científica de las observaciones de los llamados cristales líquidos

...ciertos materiales orgánicos no muestran una transición única de sólido a líquido, sino más bien una cascada de transiciones que involucran nuevas fases. Las propiedades mecánicas y las propiedades de simetría de estas fases son intermedias entre las de un líquido y las de un cristal. Por esta razón a menudo se les ha llamado cristales líquidos. Un nombre más propio es "fases mesomórficas" (mesomórficas: forma intermedia)

Además, "La clasificación de las mesofases (establecida claramente por G. Friedel en 1922) se basa esencialmente en la simetría".

Las moléculas que demuestran mesofases se llaman mesógenos.

En tecnología, las moléculas en las que el eje óptico está sujeto a manipulación durante una mesofase se han convertido en productos comerciales, ya que pueden utilizarse para fabricar dispositivos de visualización, conocidos como pantallas de cristal líquido (LCD). La susceptibilidad del eje óptico, llamado director, a un campo eléctrico o magnético produce el potencial de un interruptor óptico que oculta la luz o la deja pasar. Los métodos utilizados incluyen la transición de Freedericksz y el efecto de campo nemático torcido. Desde las primeras pantallas de cristal líquido, el público comprador ha adoptado la función de conmutador óptico de baja potencia de mesofases con el director.

Considere un sólido que consiste en una sola especie molecular y se somete a fusión. En última instancia, se traduce a un estado isotrópico denominado clásicamente líquido. Las mesofases se producen antes de esa fecha cuando aún se mantiene un estado intermedio de orden como en las fases nemática, esméctica y columnar de los cristales líquidos. Las mesofases por lo tanto exhiben anisotropía. Los dispositivos LCD funcionan como un interruptor óptico que se activa y desactiva mediante un campo eléctrico aplicado al mesógeno con el director. La respuesta del director al campo se expresa con parámetros de viscosidad, como en la teoría de Ericksen-Leslie en la mecánica de continuidad desarrollada por Jerald Ericksen y Frank Matthews Leslie.

Los fenómenos mesofásicos son importantes en muchos campos científicos. Los brazos de publicación de las sociedades profesionales tienen revistas académicas según sea necesario. Por ejemplo, la American Chemical Society tiene tanto Macromolecules  como Langmuir, mientras que la Royal Society of Chemistry tiene Soft Matter, y la American Physical Society tiene Physical Review E, y Elsevier tiene Advances in Colloid and Interface Science.

Experiences of Policy Lab: Four forms of making and a speculation
Between January and May 2019, Anne Spaa spent several months working as an intern within the UK Policy Lab as part of her PhD research. In this blog post she reflects on her time in this unique space at the intersection of design and government.
As part of my PhD Research in Design, I spent a few months on placement at UK Policy Lab early 2019. I worked as one of the junior policy designers to experience how they develop policy concepts as inspiration for policy development.
In this blog, I reflect on four forms of making I've seen Policy Lab use in their work. I look at them with a designer's eye, to foreground how I understand policymaking as a making practice.
1) Making to get an overview of policy practices
2) Making templates for a design thinking approach to open policy making
3) Making together to help policymakers bring in new ideas
4) Making to trigger inspiration on how to approach a policy problem
A speculation: Making to develop policy with the practices of design
1) Making to get an overview
During my time at Policy Lab, I primarily worked on the Youth Consultation Project. This project explored how young people could get more involved in government consultations. In government consultations, policymakers reach out to get feedback from stakeholders and citizens on their policy proposals [https://www.gov.uk/search/policy-papers-and-consultations?content_store_document_type%5B%5D=open_consultations&order=most-viewed, https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/100807/file47158.pdf]. This often includes an online survey open to everyone and stakeholder events during which the policy team engages with organisations and individuals directly.
Starting this project on how to involve young people in the consultation process, Policy Lab conducted a series of interviews with policymakers to hear about their experiences of conducting a consultation process. Central to this interview were a set of hexagonal tiles representing the different processes and milestones of the consultation process. With this tool, the participating policymakers could see the whole process in one, which for some of the interviewees was the first time.
The consultation journey mapping tool:
opyright: UK Policy Lab (https://openpolicy.blog.gov.uk/2019/10/28/lab-long-read-policy-consultations-part-1-mapping-the-process/, nov 22)
This set was called the consultation journey map [https://openpolicy.blog.gov.uk/2019/10/28/lab-long-read-policy-consultations-part-1-mapping-the-process/], and was developed by Policy Lab prior to the project. During the interview sessions, Policymakers refined the tool based on their personal experiences of conducting a consultation. From these interviews and the use of the journey tool Policy Lab, in turn, learned about lived experiences of policymakers and nuanced practice of government consultation.
By designing this journey map tool to guide the interviews and adapting this tool based on the experiences of policymakers, this form of making can help policymakers to get an overview of the process they will go through. For designers, these overviews can help to find ways how to strategically and tactically apply design skills to inform policymaking. (318words)
The use of the journey map during the interviews, eventually led to the design of this government consultation flow-chart:
Copyright: UK Policy Lab (https://openpolicy.blog.gov.uk/2019/10/28/lab-long-read-policy-consultations-part-1-mapping-the-process/, Dec 16)
On to the next form of making then…
I've just mentioned how design can find its ways into policymaking. Policy Lab has found how this can be a particularly strong in the case of open policymaking – a form of policy making that strongly shares values with the design practice: being human-centered, iterative, open to experimentation and collaboration, etc.
Under the motto 'government's first' Policy Lab develops and tests design tools and methods appropriated to the policy profession. When these proof to be versatile enough for different policy contexts, tools make it to the Open Policy Making Toolkit (link to OPMT). This way design methods find their way into open policy making.
During my time at Policy Lab, I observed how one of these tools was trialed during the consultation project. This one drew specifically on the growing interest in 'embodied' exercises: Rather than mapping topics and interest groups on paper, the participants of the co-design were asked to give themselves a name-tag in the form of a policy issue of their interest. They were then asked to find one (and later two) people with whom they thought they could collaborate based on their policy issues. During this process, the facilitating policy designer asked participants to list two to three reasons why collaboration between these policy issues would be valuable.
Where this tool might seem extremely light-touch, in a climate of policymaking where cross-government work is still rare, such an embodied mapping exercise might become a valuable tool to find shared topics between ministerial departments and be the trigger for cross-departmental work. (253 words)
Policy Lab tends to explain their process to their clients and collaborators by introducing the double diamond process (https://openpolicy.blog.gov.uk/2018/04/27/positive-engagement/). In the 'development' phase of this visual metaphor, co-design is a form of making that Policy Lab uses in collaboration with policymakers and stakeholders of the projects. Whereas in design research, as researching designers we tend to stand back in co-creation and co-design sessions, as a junior policy designer I became an active part in this part of the process!
There are few tools from the Open Policy Making Toolkit that support this phase. Upon reflection, this makes sense: there might not be a need for design-inspired tools when the designers are part of the team. Instead of templates, I sat down with the participants to question further. To spark their imagination, help them design a complete concept, and be the note / visual thinker when necessary. Our expertise as professional designers became part of the youth consultation project. We changed our roles in the process, moving from being facilitators into partners. We use our experience in design to help policymakers think in new 'ideas,' 'concepts' and 'prototypes', often beyond the initial imagination of policymakers and stakeholders. (203 words)

4) Making to trigger inspiration
As Policy Lab aims to inform the development of the open policymaking practice with designer tools and methods, it was not much of a surprise to see the participatory approaches find their way into their practice. Therefore, when I saw – to be honest just after I had finished my placement – some of the speculative design work done by one of the junior policy designers, I was thrilled!
Most designers that work for the civil service work in the implementation phase of the policy development cycle. The designers that work at Policy Lab as policy designers often work at the very start of the cycle. With the insights gained, challenges set, and ideas generated – which cover the first three parts of the double diamond (diagnose, discover, and define) – the policy designers go to work developing the ideas into provotypes that can be discussed with people who will be impacted by the policy. The provotypes are not intended to become the actual policy implementation.
Instead, together with the feedback from citizens, these provotypes are a growing contribution to the final deliverables of Policy Lab. Where the insights from ethnographic work with citizens bring insight on the policy topic, the design thinking process with policymakers and stakeholders bring reflection on the process, the provotypes aims to trigger the imagination of policymakers in further stage of the policymaking process.
Although finished designs, the thoughts they elicit aim to move the process into its development phase.

One more form of making…
Over the two months that I worked as a junior policy designer, I came to understand the significant role making has in the practice of Policy Lab. Regularly returning to their office for my follow up study with policymakers, I realised there is one more form of making that I hope Policy Lab can develop.
After their work with Policy Lab, policy professionals move their work into the policy development phase. With the citizen feedback, design thinking insights, and provotypes in their pocket, the process facilitated by the policy designers is now fully handed over to the policy team. Hopefully, the work done with Policy Lab will inspire and help to imagine ideas for policy action, informing the policy development phase.
What really happens in the development phase, is a blackbox to designers working for government.
What if the policy designer stays on as part of the policy team? At the very end of this blog I therefore want to speculate briefly on this fifth form of making in policy.
A speculation: The designer in the policy development phase
The Policy Lab project has finished, and the policy team moves on to the development phase. The policy designers – part of Policy Lab – moves along with the process and becomes an integral part of the policy team.
Their work now focuses on using their design expertise to explore and refine options for policy action.
The impact of policy designers on the development phase might therefore be to keep the potential impact of policy actions at the center of the process. Using their design expertise to build and test the policy ideas, the values of open policy making of being human-centered, iterative, and open to experimentation and collaboration, can find their way into the process.

A SCHIZOPHRENIC Polish woman died in her home after taking a cocktail of medication and alcohol.
Southwark Coroner's Court heard Marie Lees, 47, of Walmer Terrace, Plumstead, was found by social workers after neighbours said they had not seen her for days and her dog was barking repeatedly.
She was found slumped on her sofa on September 22 last year.
Born in Poland, she had suffered years of mental illness, according to a psychiatric report read to the court.
Pathologist Dr Peter Jerreat said Miss Lees had taken a combination of alcohol and medication which proved fatal.
At the inquest on February 11, coroner Selena Lynch said: "I suspect she has taken an overdose deliberately to end her life but it has to be an open verdict, as I don't know."

Anna and the King of Siam (1946) – Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison
I love The King and I. The music, the songs, the chemistry between Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr, Oscar Hammerstein's positive and uplifting view of humanity that is present in all his musicals. It is one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's best musicals. However, after watching the 1946 Anna and the King of Siam – with Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison and directed by John Cromwell – I do have to admit that in comparison, The King and I is not an especially nuanced story.
Anna and the King of Siam is far richer, covering a greater period of time and with more characters given more depth and motivation, though the story is the same and there are actually a lot of scenes and dialogue that were later used in the musical. Fortunately, I only occasionally expected someone to break into song (Irene Dunne could have done it, too). Truly, the movie stands on its own and is especially well-made.
The movie begins, as in The King and I, with Anna Leonowns (Irene Dunne) arriving in Bangkok with her son, Louis (Richard Lyon), to teach the king of Siam's children and some of his wives. Many of the events follow just as in the later film, too. They are met by the prime minister, called the Kralahome (Lee J. Cobb), Anna rather unceremoniously meets the king (Rex Harrison) and impresses him with her boldness and intelligence, and then she meets the children. There is the same story regarding her desire for a house rather than to live in the palace (specifically in the harem – Anna feels rather bad about bringing her son into a harem). The same clash of wills, the give-and take, the learning of respect and appreciation for each other. The same friendship between her and Lady Thiang (Gale Sondergaard), the king's first wife and mother of the oldest prince, Chulalongkorn (Mickey Roth). The same incidents regarding the king's desire to demonstrate to Britain that Siam is not a barbaric country and the same friendship between Anna and the King. One difference is that in the 1946 movie, there is less unspoken romantic tension. It is mostly a friendship, though a very warm one, which consists primarily in discussion.
Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison
Rex Harrison's king of Siam is more of a philosopher. He was evidently persuaded years before by the Kralahome to give up being a monk and be king. He can be almost childlike in his curiosity and desire to do the right thing, but he is insatiably inquiring and always reading. There is actually a very touching friendship between him and the Kralahome (who has a very one-dimensional role in the King and I), who feels responsible for having put him in the difficult and dangerous position of being king. The king is trying to make Siam more Western in the face of growing European influence in Asia, and reveal a crueler side that very nearly drives Anna away for good.
Anna is also far more nuanced. She doesn't just go charging in with her determined, no-nonsense British satisfaction that she is always right (as Anna does a little bit in The King and I). Anna is often right, but she also makes a number of misjudgments and has several cultural misunderstandings. There is a culture clash when she first arrives and she does not initially understand the king and the difficult position he is in as king. After an argument with him over her house, she is determined to leave and it is the Kralahome who asks her to stay and tries to get her to see things in a different light. Later, she gets so caught up in the king that she does not see that Prince Chulalongkorn is longing for more of her attention and teaching.
I really enjoyed the character of the Kralahome in this film, too. He and Anna interact almost as much as she does with the king and he acts as a kind of go-between for Anna and the king. Intelligent, dignified, diplomatic, he also has a good sense of humor. Gale Sondergaard won an Oscar for her performance as Lady Thiang, the first wife of the king who loves her husband but knows that she no longer has either his love or his ear. Instead, she must now look out for her son, crown prince Chulalongkorn. Linda Darnell is billed third, but she has a fairly small role as Lady Tuptim, who was a gift to the king and is also his current favorite, until she realizes that the king now listens to Anna rather than to her, and runs away to the man she loves.
Apart from the relationship between Anna and the king, there are two other significant themes in the film. One is the theme of home. When she arrives in Siam, Anna wants a house. When she is considering leaving, the Kralahome suggests that since she has no home or family in England, she should consider making Siam her home, her place to put down roots. Siam becomes not just a place where she works, but the place where she forms her relationships and ties.
The second theme is that of the crown prince, who represents the next generation. It takes a while for Anna to see clearly how much the prince wishes to learn; it takes an explanation from Lady Thiang, who cannot give her son what he needs and it is really only after Anna loses her own son that she sees that the prince has been lost in the shuffle of the palace, which revolves around the king.
Not especially historically accurate, the film is nevertheless excellent. I like Irene Dunne in pretty much everything she does. She could do comedy, drama and musicals, anything. Rex Harrison, Lee J. Cobb, Gale Sondergaard are also excellent. I found it a very touching film and especially enjoyed the relationships between the characters. It doesn't have the joyous music of Rodgers and Hammerstein, but what it does have it does just as well, and I think is a better story. Though I must warn potential viewers that the film conforms to contemporary practices of the time by casting all white actors to play the Siamese characters. The actors do, however, endeavor to give their characters dignity and make them more than just caricatures.

American–Soviet Cultural international relations: The Bolshoi Ballet's American Premiere is the 1st full-length exam of a Soviet cultural diplomatic attempt. Following the signing of an American-Soviet cultural alternate contract within the overdue Fifties, Soviet officers resolved to make use of the Bolshoi Ballet's deliberate 1959 American travel to awe audiences with Soviet choreographers' nice accomplishments and Soviet performers' awesome talents. hoping on vast study, Cadra Peterson McDaniel examines even if the ambitions at the back of Soviet cultural alternate and the categorical goals of the Bolshoi Ballet's 1959 American travel supplied proof of a thaw in American-Soviet kinfolk. Interwoven all through this examine is an exam of the Soviets' competing efforts to create ballets encapsulating Communist principles whereas at the same time reinterpreting pre-revolutionary ballets in order that those works have been ideologically appropriate.
McDaniel investigates the explanation in the back of the construction of the Bolshoi's repertoire and the Soviet leadership's goals and interpretation of the tour's luck in addition to American reaction to the travel. The repertoire incorporated the 4 ballets, Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake, Giselle, and The Stone Flower, and Highlights courses, which incorporated excerpts from quite a few pre- and post-revolutionary ballets, operas, and dance suites. How the americans and the Soviets understood the Bolshoi's good fortune offers perception into how both sides conceptualized the function of the humanities in society and in political transformation.
American–Soviet Cultural international relations: The Bolshoi Ballet's American Premiere demonstrates the ballet's position in Soviet international coverage, a shift to "artful warfare," and hence emphasizes the importance of learning cultural trade as a key element of Soviet international coverage and analyzes the continuing significance of the humanities in twenty-first century Russian politics.
In the course of the centuries, ballet has had a wealthy and ever-evolving position within the humanities. well known choreographers, composers, and performers have contributed to this distinct paintings shape, staging enduring works of attractiveness. major productions by way of significant businesses include ideas and diversifications, allowing ballet to thrive and enjoyment audiences everywhere in the globe.

Outside the Soviet Union, VOKS! 12 In 1926, Americans interested in the Soviet Union founded the American Society for Cultural Relations with Russia. This New York based society did not prove very active partly due to the Soviets' negative characterization of the members as simply being interested in the Soviet Union for philosophical reasons and not given to engage in more active measures. 13 Within five years of its creation, VOKS' leaders managed to establish cultural ties with seventy-seven states, whereas traditional diplomatic ties existed with only forty-six of these countries.

Officials recognized that the vastly different economic, political, and cultural heritages of the United States and the Soviet Union heightened the possibility of misunderstandings. 33 Beginning in 1943 and extending into the postwar period, American statesmen, including successive American ambassadors in Moscow, made repeated overtures for a program that would allow the free exchange of persons and information. This exchange would allow each country to demonstrate its stance on cultural, economic, and political matters.

We test for 15 different genetic disorders that affect Labradors! Our dogs have clearances for hips, elbows, heart, patella, eyes PRA-PRCD, PRA-crd4/cord1, GR-PRA2, CNM, DM, HNPK, EIC, SD2, OSD1, Narcolepsy, type IA cystinuria, Elliptocytosis, Hyperuricosuria, X-linked myotubular myopathy, and Pyruvate kinase deficiency of erythrocytes.
We have 10 acres in the Central Valley of California (45 miles north of Sacramento). We work from home so we can give our dogs and puppies the time and love they deserve. We have three amazing children that absolutely love our dogs and puppies. We spend every day working hard, playing, tending to our farm, and playing with our dogs and puppies. We have a beautiful creek on our property and our Labs can't get enough of it. Our Labradors are a part of our family. We use "Bio Sensor" AKA "Super Dog" Program to ensure all our puppies are confident, intelligent, happy, and ready to embrace their world with confidence. These exercises have been shown to improve cardio vascular performance (heart rate), stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glands, greater tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease.
We have been breeding Labradors for almost ten years. My parents raised and breed Labradors while I was growing up. My parents taught me so many great lessons in life and I am thankful for them every day. One of which is to never become complacent and always do research to make sure the choices we make for our loved ones (dogs included of course) are in their best interest. We have evolved an enormous amount over the last ten years in our breeding program. I'm happy to say we are getting better and more educated every year. I know that our education about all things Labradors will never be finished. There will always be new research and developments that will help us to create better and healthier dogs.
We strongly believe in helping families pick puppies that meet the needs of the whole family, this may include being a service dog, hunting partner, guide dog, family companion, etc.. We want to help insure families get the puppies that meet their needs. In order to help us accomplish this goal, we keep detailed records of the puppies personalities and use the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test, or PAT.
The puppies come with an awesome binder that has all the information you could ever want and need about our fur babies. They also come home with AKC limited registration paperwork (without breeding rights), a food sample, handmade toys, plus so much more! We have a very special puppy package that is truly unique. We spare no expense when it comes to our dogs and puppies. Our puppies come home to you dewormed and up to date on vaccinations. We stand behind the Labradors we help to create. We offer lifetime breeder support and are always available to answer any questions you may have. I'm looking forward to speaking with you. I know you will fall in love, just like we have, with our dogs and puppies. Thank you for your interest in Houston Labradors.

Q: Finding the general formula for a sequence I wanna find the general formula for the sequence below:
$$
U(n+2)=U(n+1)/(n+2)+nU(n)/(n+2).$$
I know how the Fibonacci sequence is derived either by linear algebra or some other method but I can't, how can I derive this?
With the initial conditions  U0=U1=1

A: $$(n+2)U_{n+2}=U_{n+1}+nU_n$$
The generating function for this sequence is
$$f(z)=U_0+U_1z+U_2z^2+U_3z^3+\dots$$
Hence we have
$$f'(z)=U_1+2U_2z+3U_3z^2+\dots$$
$$z^2f'(z)=U_1z^2+2U_2z^3+3U_3z^4+\dots$$
$$f'(z)-z^2f'(z)=U_1+2U_2z+(3U_3-U_1)z^2+(4U_4-2U_2)z^3+\dots$$
So applying $U_{n+1}=(n+2)U_{n+2}-nU_n$ and factoring gives
$$(1-z^2)f'(z)=U_1+2U_2z+U_2z^2+U_3z^3+\dots$$
$$(1-z^2)f'(z)=U_1+2U_2z+f(z)-U_0-U_1z$$
$$(1-z^2)f'(z)-f(z)=U_1-U_0+(2U_2-U_1)z$$
We have that $2U_2=U_1+0U_0$ hence $U_0=U_1=1$ and $U_2=\frac12$ which gives
$$(1-z^2)f'(z)-f(z)=1-1+\left(2\left(\frac12\right)-1\right)z=0$$
$$f'(z)=\frac{f(z)}{1-z^2}$$
$$\frac{f'(z)}{f(z)}=\frac1{1-z^2}$$
$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}z}\ln{(f(z))}=\frac1{1-z^2}$$
$$\ln{(f(z))}=\int\frac1{1-z^2}\mathrm{d}z$$
$$\ln{(f(z))}=\ln{\left(\sqrt{\frac{1+z}{1-z}}\right)}$$
$$\therefore f(z)=\sqrt{\frac{1+z}{1-z}}$$
As suggested by @achille hui this gives
$$U_n=4^{-\lfloor n/2\rfloor}\binom{2\lfloor n/2\rfloor}{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}$$
or equivalently,
$$U_n=\frac{(2\lfloor n/2\rfloor-1)!!}{2^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}\lfloor n/2\rfloor!}$$
where $n!!$ denotes the double-factorial function.

A: I tried to use the generating function method explained by Peter Foreman and Achille Hui.  Unfortunately, my brain seems to be on strike today, and I couldn't make it come out.  I solved the problem with an ad hoc method that I was ashamed to post at first, but on reflection, I think it may be of interest.
I started by computing a few values of the sequence and I got
0 1
1 1
2 1/2
3 1/2
4 3/8
5 3/8
6 5/16
7 5/16
8 35/128
9 35/128
10 63/256
11 63/256
12 231/1024
13 231/1024
14 429/2048
15 429/2048
16 6435/32768
17 6435/32768
18 12155/65536
19 12155/65536
20 46189/262144
21 46189/262144

It's an obvious guess that $u_{2n+1}=u_{2n}$ so assuming this is true, and letting $v_m=u_{2m}$ I got $$ v_{m+1}={2m+1\over2m+2}v_m,\ v_0=1$$ so that
$$u_{2m}=v_m=1\cdot\frac12\cdot\frac34\cdot\frac56\cdot\cdots\cdot{2m-1\over2m}={(2m-1)!!\over(2m)!!}$$
Of course, one still has to verify that the original guess $u_{2n+1}=u_{2n}$ holds in general.

I like that when you turn your back to the southern shoreline you can still see the lake to the east and also to the south.
