Chennai Super Kings Lost The Match To Mumbai Indians To Increase The TRP Ratings In Qualifier 2 ?? Shocking Statement From Venkat Prabhu !!
Vizag will host two important matches in IPL XII – the Eliminator between SRH and DC and Qualifier 2 between The Chennai Super Kings and the winner of today's match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals. The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag has hosted 11 IPL matches – 2 in 2012, 3 in 2015 and 6 in 2016.
"Somebody has to lose, things really didn't go our way, especially batting. At home, we had to assess the conditions quickly, we have played 6 to 7 games on this pitch and should have read the pitch better, that's the home advantage. We needed to know how the pitch behaves, would it be tacky? Is the ball coming on or not, those were the things we didn't do well, I think the batting needs to get better.
"These are the best batsmen we have got, it looks like we are are batting well, but at times, but in different games, they pull off shots that shouldn't be played. These are the players who we have banked on, they have the experience and they should know to assess the conditions better, hopefully, we will do well in the next game," Dhoni said in the post-match press conference.
"I think we were a bit unlucky at times (talking about bowling), some balls dropped right in the middle, a few catches weren't taken. We perhaps had to bowl slightly away from the batsmen, could have slowed down the pace and bowl with more variations. But we didn't have runs on the board, so every boundary conceded in a 130 defence was bad. It isn't good to lose games at such times, but it is good that we finished in the top-two, rather than going over the wicket (straight to the finals), we now need to go round the wicket (to qualifier 2), that means the journey takes a longer time. But luckily, we finished in the top two and that gives us a second chance," he said.
Many CSK fans dejected on seeing the performance of the team in the most important match. They expressed their sadness in social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. They also became the victims of the trolls of Mumbai and other team's fans.
Meanwhile Venkat Prabhu who is known of making films like Mankatha and Chennai 28 posted a tweet on CSK's loss. Being one of the ardent fan of Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni the filmmaker made a funny statement. He said that CSK lost to Mumbai deliberately to increase the TRP ratings of the qualifier 2. TRP or Target rating point (TRP) for calculation purposes to measure the number the viewers of a particular TV channel. As Chennai Super Kings having the most number of fans, Venkat Prabhu says CSK is playing one more game to increase the TRP ratings of Stars Sports.
In his tweet the director wrote "Indha #trp tholla thangamudila pa!! Adhukku nu ippadiya!! #csk @ChennaiIPL"

Fusarium wilt disease and Sigatoka leaf spots threaten global market of Musa sp. Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIP) consisting aquaporins (AQPs) facilitate the transport of water and molecules like H2O2, CO2, silicon, boron, urea, and ammonia. Biotic and abiotic stresses affect the expression level of MIPs and influence the transportation of water and nutrients, which results in the susceptibility of plants to diseases. Expression level of MIP genes in Musa acuminata (MaMIPs) fruits during development and under acetylene treatment; expression of MaMIPs in the corms of banana infected with Fusarium oxysporum cubense (Foc), and the expression of MaMIP genes in the leaves treated with Mycosphaerella fijiensis were retrieved from the banana genome hub database. Expression data of roots, treated with virulent Focs at 3, 27, and 51 hours post-inoculation (hpi) were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. The expression data were analyzed using MeV 4.9 program. Expression level of MaMIPs was mainly suppressed by acetylene and biotic treatments. Twenty seven and 51 hpi of roots with Foc, 88% and 63% of MaMIPs were down-regulated. However, MaNIP2-1 expression showed a significant up-regulation in all conditions. Infection of banana corms resulted in the suppression of MaMIPs. A low decrease in the expression of MaMIPs was observed, when the leaves were under Mycosphaerella fijiensis attack. Suppression of MaMIPs might be in line with repression of plant defense by banana pathogens as an approach for infection progression. Identification of the MIPs influenced by stresses provides the opportunity for the production of transgenic resistant cultivars.

PTP003 Jamie Baggotts - New Wave / Eden - Pure Trance.
UK producer Jamie Baggots' heart lies firmly with the pure progressive trance sound that made album series' such as Global Underground & Northern Exposure so popular with a generation of music lovers. There is a resurgence taking place of a modern & forward-thinking incarnation of that sound, and it is being embraced by a new generation of clubbers. Pure Trance Progressive has it's finger firmly on the their pulse, and we are following up our previous release from Forerunners with this double-A side package from Jamie. The understated 'Eden' makes its case very quickly, immersive & hypnotic synths pull the listeners in and then keep them locked for an intense 8.45 workout. Second up is the extended mix of 'New Wave' taken from Gai Barone's critically applauded Disc One of Pure Trance Vol. 4. A more forceful production here; again weaving hypnotic sequenced textures – but within a darker & intensified mainframe. Exploding after a haunting breakdown, this is one for serious floors.

Timothy C. Ward – Newsletter Sign-Up
My love for writing started while co-authoring a Ninja Turtles comic in kindergarten. Dragonlance and Stephen King influenced my middle years, and then Orson Scott Card and the Dune Prequels added Science Fiction to my literary palate. After college, insecurity and a lack of community led to a few years off from writing, but then I discovered NaNoWriMo and podcasts. These helped me write and rewrite what became two trunked novels, but also put me firmly in the path of realizing my dream.Scavenger: Evolution last March. It's a sand-divers in the apocalypse story of love and terror set in Hugh Howey's world of Sand (with his permission). The audiobook is nearly complete, and the sequel will come out next summer.
My short story credits include "The Bomb in the President's Bathroom," an Amish science fiction thriller set in the world of Michael Bunker's Pennsylvania, and published in the anthology, Tales from Pennsylvania; "Staring Into," a time-travel love story published in Masters of Time; and "Marigold Bloom," an as-yet published story in a redshirts-themed anthology, Expendable Assets, which will donate proceeds to The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
My first Evolved Publishing novel is a magical thriller set in the rift between Iowa and the Abyss, inspired by equal parts of Stephen King's Dark Tower series and The Stand.
I am also a former Executive Producer for the Hugo-Nominated podcast, Adventures in SciFi Publishing, and have reviewed books for them and SF Signal.

Aaron Shaw Ph.D.
I have a Ph.D. in marriage and family therapy. This helps when you have a crazy big family like mine. You see, I have 6 kids that all have superpowers and don't believe in bedtime. The stories I write and illustrate usually come from me making deals to tell stories as long as their heads are on the pillow.
I wrote my very first literary masterpiece when I was just 6 years old. Although I don't remember the title, I know the main character was a tapeworm with a bazooka living in someone's stomach.
People say you have to read a lot of books to be a good writer. I'm a terrible reader. I'm slow, have poor comprehension, and generally only make it through half of any book with more than a hundred pages. Lucky for me, having so many kids legally requires me to read (and finish) several million picture books per evening.
Here is how I define picture books when done right: they're touching and funny pieces of art that can be completely consumed and adored in less than 5 minutes. To me, picture books are like amazing little animated movies with only enough room for the good parts within their pages.
I try to make all of my books have just the good parts. Otherwise my kids would have me drawn and quartered.

Stories about crimes have always resonated with me, whether it was Crime and Punishment or The Quiet American. Maybe it's because I started my career as a police reporter, or because I worked for a time as a teacher in the county jail.
More than a decade ago, when I decided to finally get serious about writing, I started with short stories based on real misdeeds I'd witnessed. I wrote one about my next door neighbor, who'd been murdered by a friend, another about an ambitious bike racer who decides to take out the competition, and a bunch of others based on characters I met in jail.
Over time these got picked up by various magazines online and in print. More than a dozen now exist, with most of the latest in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Big Pulp.
For my debut novel, They Tell Me You Are Wicked, I drew inspiration from the most infamous event in the history of my hometown: the real life killing of a political candidate's daughter (though I made up all the details). Now I am at work on a second volume in the series, set two years later, after my hero, Duncan Cochrane, has become governor. He's haunted by the family secret that got him elected, and fighting a sniper who's targeting children in Chicago.

Briefly….
I am a professional writer, as well as a full-time cook, cleaner, chauffeur, and work-at-home single Dad for three amazing teenagers. Born in Texas and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, I emigrated to Israel only months before the first Gulf War, following graduation from Indiana University in 1990. In 1996, I was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces, where I served for 12 years as a Reserves Combat Medic. Since 2002, I've worked as an independent marketing writer, copywriter and consultant.
More than You Asked for….
I am a writer by nature. It's always been how I express myself best. I've been writing stories, letters, journals, songs, and poems since I could pick up a pencil, but it took me 20-odd years to figure out that I could get paid for it. Call me slow.
After completing my BA at Indiana University – during the course of which I also studied at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Haifa University – I emigrated to Israel only months before the first Gulf War, in August 1990. In 1998, I was married to the wonderful woman who changed my life for the better in so many ways, and in 2001, only a month after the 9/11 attacks, my son was born, followed by my twin daughters in 2004. In late 2017, two weeks before my 50th birthday, my wife passed away after giving cancer one hell of a fight.
Since 2002, I've run SDG Communications, a successful marketing consultancy serving clients in Israel and abroad.

Even I did not think it would happen so quickly. Last week, I drew attention to Adam Afriyie, the prospective Tory candidate for the safe seat of Windsor (majority: 8,889). He was plucked out of Kent as a way of demonstrating that the Conservative Party is modern and all-inclusive, with blacks, gays, etc all welcome. He had won through a rigorous selection process in which his rivals included a former senior minister. He was set for an easy run into the House of Commons at the next election.
I said it was too good to be true and quoted examples of black Tory and Labour candidates who had lost safe seats mostly because of racialism inside and outside their parties.
Within days, page three of the Mail on Sunday carried a huge headline staring out of a Tory-blue background: "What IDS's Mr Perfect didn't tell Tory bosses". Alongside a picture of Afriyie was a full-length portrait of white female flesh, barely adorned in a two-piece swimsuit. This was Afriyie's wife, Romi, who runs a business called Oyster Promotions. The article dripped with innuendo. Afriyie himself said the firm was a promotional agency that "does things like supply girls for BMW at car shows". The paper said it was "providing young hostesses to entertain businessmen". An undercover reporter alleged that Mrs Afriyie had explained: "They sort of warm the client up."
Furthermore, the paper said, Afriyie had given the Windsor selection committee the impression that he and Romi were a happily married couple. The Mail on Sunday alleged - to firm denials from both husband and wife - that the couple had actually been separated for more than nine months.
The pursuit of the quarry was relentless. The reporters chased Romi to a Greek island resort where, they told us, she was sunbathing without a bra.
In the bearpit that is the current Tory party, nothing is sacred. A faction within the party was in such a hurry to paint itself pro-black that it pushed forward a candidate without providing him with sufficient cover against his and their enemies.
Adam Afriyie is caught up in the battle between factions. It does not help to be black in the Conservative Party of yesterday, today and possibly tomorrow. He has nothing but a face. He seems to have no clear political ideology to gain him support. For him, Windsor is not such a safe seat after all.

Intiraymi's 5th Passenger Co-Stars Shimerman, Sirtis & More
August 21, 2015 4:00 AM PDT
Star Trek fans who caught Manu Intiraymi's panel at Star Trek Las Vegas earlier this month know that the actor -- who played Icheb on Star Trek: Voyager -- has been deeply involved with an upcoming sci-fi film titled 5th Passenger. The indie production, which was initially funded via Kickstarter and finished with matching funds from investors, features an array of popular Star Trek figures, including Tim Russ, Marina Sirtis, Armin Shimerman and Hana Hatae, as well as Intiraymi and also sci-fi veteran Doug Jones.
"Basically, I put all my friends in it, and it's awesome that the fans have been backing their favorite sci-fi, fantasy and superhero actors," Intiraymi told StarTrek.com before his panel. "We're making great product with their support, and 5th Passenger is a really well-made space thriller. It's about a crew of five aboard a first-class escape pod that's lost in space. They only have enough air and water for four to live for a number of days -- and time is running out. We wrapped production in February and we just released our first official teaser online (in July), and I'm really excited about this film. This is the next evolution of more amazing stuff to come. People are going to love it."
5th Passenger is still in post-production and its release date is pending, but updates on the film's status can be found on their Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/5thPassenger. And you can follow them on Twitter and Instagram as well @5thPassenger. And to follow Intiraymi on Twitter, go to @manuintiraymi.

10 Times Characters Were Unjustly Accused on Star Trek


I used to think I was a jinx. It's a suspicion that still pops into my head now and again. Like tonight. Tonight I did something I have never done before: left a Sharks game before the final horn. I have never walked out on a game… except once, but that was football and I hate football, it was miserable weather, the seats were horribly uncomfortable… and I hate football. But I've never left a hockey game before.
It wasn't because the players were standing around looking like they were going to start fighting, which I figured would be followed by nothing but five more disappointing minutes of failure. No, I had started thinking about leaving before that, and not because they were losing 4-1 or I thought I wanted to get a jump on the traffic. A few minutes either way makes no difference to my drive, and it isn't like me to walk out when things look dire.
It felt uncomfortably warm in San Jose, even before noon. After the dramatic storms seen here during Game 1 and in St. Louis for Game 2, a windless warm day seems ominous. It's hard-to-breathe weather. Or maybe it's just me.
Looking back to those last regular season games against the LA Kings, it sure looks like the Kings won by losing. We've only had the two games so far, but it feels like the Sharks are so far behind already.
Todd McLellan hasn't said he will change the lineup for tonight's game, but Kevin Kurz tweeted that Colin White left the ice early. I saw some fan tweets during and after Saturday's game saying White could be an option if the Sharks anticipated any more fighting. I'm not sure I follow that. I remember a game where McGinn said he jumped in so White would not have to fight. I'm sure he can do it but I don't think it's his thing anymore. More likely, McLellan felt that the Demers-Braun pair was overwhelmed. I'm not sure I believe White will be an improvement there but who knows. Maybe Murray will come out. I don't think that's likely, I don't like what it would imply, but it could happen.
Someone cuts McCarthy's face. I see red. I try to remember that line so nicely spoken by Samuel L. Jackson, something about "great vengeance and furious anger." I am incapable of delivering that, even if I am in the mood to do so.
Before I can stuff my temper back in its box, the Lightning score, taking the lead—again. But Vlasic gets a little revenge, ties it up. Then, of all improbable things, White scores a go ahead goal.
I'm dizzy with all the ups and downs of this game.
I review my list: get points, win a lot, stay healthy, pick up a forward… two out of four is not excellent.
Before the last game I was worried about some pretty routine things that do tend to happen, just not all at once on the day I talk about them. I suppose that would be different if I were writing a group itinerary, in which case writing things down would presumably be part of why they came to pass. I guess I feel like I wrote a reverse itinerary yesterday, a great big jinx.


Come on Amateur, we're all dying of suspense!!!!!!!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell us, otherwise we'll have to send you the medical bills for stress, sleeplessness and loss of appetite due to suspense!!!!!!!
Okay.... So I was partially right about Zoe Bernese Mountain Dog, Rottweiler??
Hank- Border Collie??? Pyrenean Shepherd???
actually Hank is indeed a little bit border.
Well we have been dog people most of our lives and hubby is even a vet and we were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off with Hank - just goes to show you - most of us know squat !
The thing is, depending on which DNA-testing company you used, you could get different results from different companies, depending on what breeds they have in their database. Results are coming back very mixed (and not completely accurate), even as experiments for pure-bred dogs, as when dogs are missing in the company's databases, or are back a generation or two, etc, etc, results are coming back skewed. Hopefully your results are (fairly) accurate - but if you had a pretty good idea (or guess) as to what your dogs were and now the results seem very different to you, you may be closer with your guess than their results, just sayin'. There's a video on Youtube of someone sending in a test on her purebred (with papers) Pittie (who came from a reputable breeder and I think was a show dog), and it came back as some kind of mixed-something or other, no Pit in it. Sooooo....... . Buyer beware.
and we knew hank was a big ole mutt but with such a mix he is bound to look/behave and be something different to everyone.
would love to try all the different companies but who has the money for that.
LOL I'll send over one of my cats who's develop a "pee in the litter box problem"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phew!!!!!!!! Interesting mix, you never know what's in a Cross Bred dog!!!!!!!!!!! But the main thing is they're both GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have never guessed rottweiler or husky in Hank.
we thought she must be from real working class border with her behaviours - so I am thinking the surprise could be very well right.
With Hank yes it was a surprise but those values could be still so low ( all we know is they are > 9.56 % ) so you wouldnt really see dominant characteristics.
I am happy with the results !
And is was fun to guess!!!

Property Buyer News
Thinking of moving to the East Midlands? Here are the six most desirable hot spots for London commuters
London commuters thinking of moving to a location outside of the capital can look to inside tips from property experts on up-and-coming areas in the East Midlands.
Moving further upcountry could save potential homebuyers a considerable amount, whilst being situated less than two hours from London, with the average property prices in the East Midlands being just £241,749, £387,512 cheaper than the Greater London average of £629,261.
As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic there has been a real shift towards home working, with many companies giving up office overheads – a change which has led to London workers having less reason to pay bigger price tags for properties in the big smoke, stoking searches for new, cheaper locations to live elsewhere.
Head of residential conveyancing at JMP Solicitors, Jacqui Harley, said: "London is a prosperous place for many to work and do business, but in terms of buying a longterm property, it is definitely worth looking further afield for more affordable options. With excellent transport links, the East Midlands is an ideal location for regular London visitors and a tranquil base to settle down with families or partners, whilst boasting regular fast trains to the capital.
"Those looking to buy a home must remember that research is important – look at what you want from a property and prioritise what is important. You will be amazed that most features can be ticked off in this area, at a realistic price."
Tim Downing director at Pygott & Crone said: "Purchasing a home outside of London can have a range of benefits including affordability, greener spaces and cleaner air. London workers shouldn't be put off by the distance as many East Midlands locations can be reached in less than two hours, with regular improvements to rail services such as the new Azuma train service.
"Even before lockdown, the market in the East Midlands was buoyant, and it continues to do well at present with prices remaining steady. It has always been strong and fruitful, down to improving transport links and a fantastic lifestyle on offer in the region, and we are finding it to be an increasingly popular choice with people looking to move out of London."
According to property experts JMP Solicitors and Pygott and Crone, here are some of the top locations in the East Midlands for London commuters.
1. Grantham
One of the fastest routes into London with one of the lowest average housing price, Grantham is a prime location for regular commuters to the city and you can reach London in 1hr 03m from Grantham Station.
The Lincolnshire town is located in the middle of the cities of Nottingham and Lincoln, and has excellent transport links, being located close to the A1 road which leads directly to London should you wish to travel by car. Currently undergoing regeneration, it will soon feature a brand new 130-unit designer outlet, and has already benefitted from a new cinema complex as part of wider improvement plans.
Train fares start from just £12, with up to 71 trains to London per day.
The average property price sits at the lower end at just £180,016 – a saving of £449,200 compared to the average Greater London price.
2. Nottingham
An exciting and vibrant city, Nottingham is a great location for London commuters who enjoy the excitement of city life.
Its rich business community and creative quarter makes it ideal for making new connections, and it has excellent educational prospects with two top universities. The city centre boasts two shopping centres, a huge range of restaurants and vibrant nightlife.
From just £13.50, you can reach London in 1hr 34m, with up to 43 trains travelling to the capital per day.
You can purchase a home in Nottingham for the average price of £202,625.
3. Market Harborough
The Leicestershire town of Market Harborough has the feeling of a rural countryside location without being too remote, and it features a delightful mix of independent and brand name shops. With 35 of its 43 schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, it is also ideal for raising young children.
You can reach London from Market Harborough in less than an hour for just £13 on the train, or in just over two hours by car.
The average property price is above the East Midlands average at £303,470, but still considerably cheaper than London.
4. Newark
With the River Trent running through the cobbled market square centre, Nottinghamshire town Newark is ideal for families looking for a quieter lifestyle. The centre is picturesque with plenty to do at the weekends including visits to Newark Castle and a regular market.
For regular commuters, train times start from 1hr 14m at a price of just £13.50, and it is another town which sits just off the A1 for drivers.
Around £60,000 cheaper than the East Midlands average, the average property price in Newark is just £176,666.
5. Melton Mowbray
For an average price of £214,144, you can find a bucolic property in the North Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray.
Known as the 'rural capital of food', the town is famous for its pork pies and cheese. You can pick up some local delicacies at regular farmers markets or learn more about its food history at the Melton Carnegie Museum.
With train tickets starting from £15.30, commuters can reach London in 1hr 41m, with up to 23 trains running per day. The town is also located in close proximity to M1, M69 and A1 for drivers.
6. Lincoln
Last year, the new high-speed Azuma train service was launched between Lincoln and Kings Cross, allowing Lincoln commuters to reach London in under two hours.
The city is rich in culture and heritage with Roman ruins running through the centre, and it is home to the iconic Lincoln Cathedral, currently undergoing a £12.4million transformation to improve visitor experience.

While Brazilian soybean farmers are pleased with the strong domestic soybean prices, this is not good news for soybean crushers or livestock producers in southern Brazil. According to the Center for Advanced Studies for Applied Economics (Cepea), soybean crush margins could turn negative for Brazilian crushers during the fourth quarter of 2018.
The strong demand from China for Brazilian soybeans has led to the highest domestic soybean prices since mid-2016. In recent weeks, the price for available soybean supplies at the Port of Paranagua in southern Brazil have been in the range of R$ 95.00 to R$ 97.00 per sack (approximately $10.80 to $11.00 per bushel). While at the same time, the prices of soybeans on the Chicago Board of Trade have been at their lowest levels in ten years.
As a result, Cepea is estimating that crush margins at the Port of Paranagua in southern Brazil will be negative $5.16 per ton for the October contract, negative $2.48 per ton for the November contract, and negative $9.27 per ton for the December contract.
This disparity in prices is the result of the trade dispute between the United States and China. The Chines government has stated their intension to reduce their soybean imports by 10 million tons from previous estimates. It is widely believed that they will try to minimize their purchase of U.S. soybeans as part of their negotiation strategy concerning tariffs. It remains an open question if they will succeed in not purchasing U.S. soybeans while they wait for new crop supplies of soybeans to become available from Brazil starting in late December or early January.
Strong domestic soybean prices in Brazil are not only impacting crushers, they are also bad news for livestock producers in southern Brazil. High soybean meal prices, coupled with strong domestic corn prices, are putting a squeeze on poultry and hog producer's margins.

I ended up booking my second trip for last month on U30X's inaugural trip to Tulum, Mexico. This trip was exactly what I needed as NYC started to get cold. And on both trips, I really pushed my comfort zone. Matt, Courtney, and Kevin were great trip leaders who made everyone feel at home. And a shoutout to Jared for being a rockstar with all the pre-trip preparations. In addition to the trips, U30X hosts local meetups in different cities. I went to the last one in NYC and it was fun to reminisce with other travelers. Can't wait to book my next trip! Peru or Iceland, anyone?" -Tiffany Y.
"I just returned from my first trip with U30X (to Mexico and Belize) and had a wonderful experience. I'm already looking to book my second one! The trip was so fun, the staff was great, and the people I met were amazing. The trip was well planned, organized, and executed. If you're on the fence about booking a trip, DO IT. It's 100% worth it. If you have any questions, definitely reach out to the staff. They love what they do, so they love talking to interested travelers." -Maggie T.

Q: Iterate Array and add each consecutive array value I have an amount.  I want to iterate the array starting from the first value and if I add the next value and it equals amount then those two values in the array should be returned.  If it doesn't equal the value, try to add the next one after that one and check if it equals the amount.
And then return the array of values that when added up equals the amount
example
Lets say I have an array of [1,2,3,4,7]
and an amount 6
I know that I can make 6 by adding 1+2+3 so I want to return [1,2,3] back.
it's the iterating through the start of the array and then checking whether I add the next if it equals 6 and if not, try to add the next one also and see it equals 6...and so on till I get the values that when added together do equal 6.
On other words find the values in this array that when added together make up 6.

A: arr = [1,2,3,4,7]
tot = 6

Case 1: The elements to be summed are the first n elements of the array
Not very efficient, but reads well:
idx = arr.size.times.find { |i| arr[0..i].reduce(:+) == tot }
idx ? arr[0..idx] : nil
  #=> [1, 2, 3]

More efficient:
t = 0
idx = arr.size.times.find { |i| t += arr[i]; t == tot }
idx ? arr[0..idx] : nil
  #=> [1, 2, 3]

Use recursion
def partial_sum(arr, remaining)
  return nil if arr.empty?
  first, *rest = arr
  if remaining == first
    [first]
  else
    ret = partial_sum(rest, remaining-first)
    ret ? [first, *ret] : nil
  end
end

partial_sum(arr, 6)
  #=> [1, 2, 3]
partial_sum(arr, 7)
  #=> nil

Case 2: the elements to be summed can be any elements of the array
def sum_subarrays(arr, tot)
  (0...arr.size).each do |n|
    b = arr.combination(n).find { |a| a.reduce(:+) == tot }
    b ? (return b) : nil
  end
  nil
end

(1..17).each do |tot|
  v = sum_subarrays(arr, tot)
  puts "sum_subarrays(arr, #{tot}) = #{v ? v : 'nil'}"
end
sum_subarrays(arr, 1)  = [1]
sum_subarrays(arr, 2)  = [2]
sum_subarrays(arr, 3)  = [3]
sum_subarrays(arr, 4)  = [4]
sum_subarrays(arr, 5)  = [1, 4]
sum_subarrays(arr, 6)  = [2, 4]
sum_subarrays(arr, 7)  = [7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 8)  = [1, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 9)  = [2, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 10) = [3, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 11) = [4, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 12) = [1, 4, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 13) = [2, 4, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 14) = [3, 4, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 15) = [1, 3, 4, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 16) = [2, 3, 4, 7]
sum_subarrays(arr, 17) = nil

A: Try this:
array = [1,2,3,4,7]
amount = 17

master_array = (1..array.size).map { |i| array.each_slice(i).to_a }

master_array.each.with_index do |e,i|
  p e[0] if master_array[i][0].inject(:+) == amount
end

Q: How to make dropdownlist show a selected value in asp.net mvc? I have an edit page with a Html.DropDownList in it....I cant show the dropdownlist value it always shows up with Select instead i want to make the dropdown show an item as selected based on a model value say Model.Mes_Id... Any suggestion how it can be done...

            MeasurementType:
         <%= Html.DropDownList("MeasurementType", // what should i give here?)%>
            <%= Html.ValidationMessage("MeasurementTypeId", "*") %>

EDIT: It has the list items but i want to show a value selected in the edit view...
   public ActionResult Edit(int id)
    {
        var mesurementTypes = consRepository.FindAllMeasurements();
        ViewData["MeasurementType"] = mesurementTypes;
        var material = consRepository.GetMaterial(id);
        return View("Edit", material);
    }

My repository method,
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> FindAllMeasurements()
        {
            var mesurements = from mt in db.MeasurementTypes
                              select new SelectListItem
                              {
                                 Value = mt.Id.ToString(),
                                 Text= mt.Name
                              };
            return mesurements;
        }

A: Set the selected item when you create the IEnumerable<SelectListItem>.
Personally I would create a specialized viewmodel for the form but going by your code, do something like:
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
    //Put this first
    var material = consRepository.GetMaterial(id);
    //pass in your selected item
    var mesurementTypes = consRepository.FindAllMeasurements(material.MeasurementTypeId);
    ViewData["MeasurementType"] = mesurementTypes;

    return View("Edit", material);
}

Then change your repository method to something like:
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> FindAllMeasurements(int selectedId)
{
     var mesurements = from mt in db.MeasurementTypes
                      select new SelectListItem
                      {
                         Value = mt.Id.ToString(),
                         Text= mt.Name,
                         Selected = mt.Id == selectedId
                      };

    return mesurements;
}

HTHs,
Charles

A: Have a look at this blog entry.
http://weblogs.asp.net/ashicmahtab/archive/2009/03/27/asp-net-mvc-html-dropdownlist-and-selected-value.aspx
Basically, you need to convert your mesurementTypes list/enumerable into a SelectList or IEnumerable<SelectListItem>.
I would recommend, if possible, upgrading to ASP.NET MVC2 and using Html.DropDownListFor()

A: You should be returning a SelectionList which can specify a selected item.
How to create a DropDownList with ASP.NET MVC

A: Assuming that Model.Mes_Id contais the selected value, you can do something like this
<%
    var Measurements = new SelectList((IEnumerable)ViewData["MeasurementType"], "Id", "Name", Model.Mes_Id);
    Response.Write(Html.DropDownList("measurement_type", Measurements, "Select"));
%>

A: Html.DropDownListFor didn't work for me So I got the poppy like this
    (in Edit method )

    CreatList(long.Parse(wc.ParentID.ToString()));

    private void CreatList(long selected= 0)
    {
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Config.ConnectionStringSimple);
        conn.Open();
        Category wn = new Category(conn);
        CategoryCollection coll = new CategoryCollection();
        Category.FetchList(conn, ref coll);

        ViewBag.ParentID = GetList(coll, selected);
    }

    private List<SelectListItem> GetList(CategoryCollection coll, long selected)
    {
        List<SelectListItem> st = new List<SelectListItem>();
        foreach (var cat in coll)
        {
            st.Add( new SelectListItem
            {
                Text = cat.Name,
                Value = cat.ID.ToString(),
                Selected = cat.ID == selected
            });

        }
        SelectListItem s = new SelectListItem {
                                Text = Resources.lblSelect,
                                Value = "0"
        };
        st.Insert(0, s);
        return st;
    }

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ParentID)

        @Html.DropDownList("ddlCat", (List<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.ParentID)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ParentID)

Iphone Se 2 Waterproof
Categories iPhone
What happens if I drop my iPhone SE in water?
Can iPhone SE take pictures underwater?
The iPhone SE 2 is waterproof but keep in mind that if you plan on using your iPhone SE 2 in the water, then it is only waterproof up to a depth of 1 meter. Secondly, the iPhone SE 2 is not immune to all water damage, such as salt water.
While the standard water-repellant measures are rated IP65, IP66, and IP67, the iPhone SE falls in the IP67 category. The second generation of iPhone SE has a rating of IP67 for Ingress Protection.
According to Apple, the new iPhone has a waterproofing rating of IP67, defined in more detail as being protected for up to a meter (about three feet) for up to 30 minutes. While I cannot claim that the iPhone SE is water-resistant, it is good enough water-resistance that it is on par with other Apple devices such as Apple Watch. The iPhone 11 is extremely water-resistant, to the extent that it could just as easily be water-resistant in normal circumstances and with normal usage.
Similar to the iPhone 11 family, it is capable of withstanding being immersed in water for longer periods of time with pressure. If you soak your iPhone 13 under water for 20 minutes, it can probably survive quite well during this period. If you continue submerging it over and over, its degree of protection is likely to diminish over time.
The iPhone SE 2 allows water in the iPhone SE 2 after 30 minutes, and this could harm the device. The iPhone is a water-resistant device, and if water is present for over 30 minutes in pools or waters that are no deeper than about 3 feet, the water will damage the device.
The water-resistant rating of the iPhone SE 2 is interpreted according to International Electrical Engineering Standards Standard 60529, which states the iPhone SE 2 will survive in one metre (3 foot) of water for 30 minutes without harm. Like the iPhone 11 series, the iPhone SE can survive under pressured water for up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. The iPhone SE has an IP67 rating, meaning that it can survive being submerged under 1 metre of water for a maximum of 30 minutes.
The IP67 waterproof rating means the new iPhone SE is capable of withstanding being immersed up to 3.3 feet in water for up to half an hour. Its IP67 rating means the iPhone SE is resistant to splashes, water, and dust underwater for up to 30 minutes, up to 1 metre (3.3 feet). No, the iPhone SE is not completely waterproof, rather it is resistant to spills, accidental sloshes, and is completely resistant to dust.
The Iphone SE follows the International Protection (IP) which says the level of protection that it has against splashes, dust, and water for the duration. Cases like iBelief water-resistant iPhone 12 Pro Case, mention an IP68 rating, and state they will function underwater up to an hour, up to 6.6 feet (2 meters) deep.
iPhone Rating
iPhone SE IP67
iPhone XR IP68
iPhone X IP67
iPhone 6s IP66
Different iPhones and their IP ratings.
Heres another waterproof case certified by IP68, which will protect your iPhone SE (2020) underwater for one hour, up to 6.6 feet/1.2 meters. Instead of putting your premium phone at risk with a regular case, go with the waterproof Stash Waterpockets iPhone SE 2020 Case. If you are looking to further enhance your iPhone SEs waterproofing, buying a waterproof case for the device is a good idea, since it will provide an extra layer of protection.
You can help to protect the iPhone SE (2nd Gen) by buying a waterproof pouch for the device. If you are looking to take it swimming, you will want to get a waterproof case; the Spidercase Protective Case will double the new iPhone SEs protection from Apple, which is rated for up to 2 meters (6.6 feet). The 7 here means that iPhone SEs can fully immerse themselves up to 1 meter (3.28 feet) deep in water for a maximum 30 minutes. What it means is iPhone 11 is nearly completely resistant to dust and dirt, and it can survive being submerged up to 1.5 meters (about five feet) in water for around a half-hour.
That is because your iPhone is protected from splashes, accidental spills of water, and dust for up to 30 minutes at depths of 1 meter (3.3 feet). The IPhone SE is capable of handling occasional spills, rain, or falls in water, like in a swimming pool or a shower. Similar to other Apple products like Apple Watch, iPhone SE is shower-safe, too. To play it safe, be sure to avoid getting the phone in any kind of liquid, even water.
This video gives a review of a water test conduct with iPhone SE
If your iPhone comes into contact with water, the next course of action is to wipe off water rapidly before it damages it. Any water splash in any direction does nothing to harm your phone. You can use any kind of absorbing cloth, such as a towel, to dry off water. In case of a spill, wash down the area with water, wipe off your damp iPhone, then wipe dry.

Do not assume Apple will replace your phone if water damages it. Your iPhone will survive being battered by rain, or if you accidentally drop it in the water.
That is why both the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 12 are IP68-rated, but the first one is tested to a depth of four meters and the second one to six meters. The iPhone models below are rated IP67 (up to a depth of 1 meter, up to 30 minutes). The IP, or ingress protection, designation for iPhones, interpreted by the International Protection Marketing Division, categorizes phones by their water-resistant rating, rather than their waterproof rating.
Alas, not everyone is aware that Apples phones have been getting the much-coveted IP67 grade — basically, it indicates the device is resistant to dust and water — since the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus back in 2017. Water-resistance can mean many different things, and one of the more common questions that is probably asked is whether Apples new phones are simply water-resistant, or are in fact entirely waterproof. If you are considering buying the new Apple iPhone SE in 2020, which brings many modern components to a smaller body than the iPhone 8, then you need to know what the Apple New 2020 iPhone SEs dust and water-resistance ratings mean.
If you're interested in Is Apple Watch Cellular Worth It, take a look at my other article
The iPhone SE also offers premium features that some Android phones do not in the price range of the iPhone SE – including its metal-and-glass design, wireless charging, and waterproofing. The iPhone SE 3 (2022) has an IP67 waterproof rating, according to International Standard 60529. Only used for few times, like the new purchase of the iPhone SE2 with the IP67 rating, however, IP67 ratings are not tested in the sweat, because water resistance of iPhone SE2 is decreasing, taking iPhone SE 2020 into a shower would cause steam damage to the iPhone SE2.
Unplug all of the cables from your iPhone if it has come into contact with any liquid, and wait to charge it until it dries completely. Using accessories or charging your iPhone while it's wet could cause damage. Before using a Lightning cable to connect a Lightning accessory, give yourself at least 5 hours.
Despite having IP68 water resistance, the Apple iPhone is not totally waterproof. The ability to shoot underwater with an iPhone requires the water resistance feature. Since version 7, the iPhone has been water resistant, and this resistance has grown as further versions have been released.

PS4 Games ReviewsThe Caligula Effect
[PS4] The Caligula Effect: Overdose Review | PS4Blog.net
Ceidz, Owner
The Caligula Effect: Overdose is a new game from NIS America with supernatural elements that takes place in a Japanese school. Learn more in our The Caligula Effect: Overdose review!
Mobius. An idyllic world that exists for the sake of letting people forget about the pain and problems of reality. In this world created by a sentient Vocaloid program, μ (Mu), reality and fantasy has become blurred, allowing people to relive their high school years in bliss. Yet in this seemingly beautiful and perfect world, something is amiss. Escape from this false paradise with your fellow students and return to reality in The Caligula Effect: Overdose!
The game starts with students in the school gym, then as the main character goes in front to talk to the audience, he notices that some students have a mask and start glitching, and as anyone would do in that situation, the main character is scared and runs away.
After a few moments, we are presented to μ (Mu), which is a character that tells the main character that he is in a place called Mobius, a world separated from reality. The character realizes that something is off in this world and soon meets other people that have also realized the anomalies. Those other characters have founded the Go-Home Club, with their main objective is finding the truth about this world and ultimately escape it. Will they be able? You'll have to play this game to find out!
The Go-Home Club members aren't the only ones in the school as other students who haven't awoken can lose their mind and become Digiheads – a corrupted version of the student. Fighting them is the only way to help them regain their senses. Speaking of fighting, Aria, a virtuadoll (a fairy), helps the main character and his friends discovering their inner strength, and they awake to their weapons. I haven't mentioned it yet, but the beginning of the game is heavy on explanations about the game world, awakening attacks, the school, and the Digiheads, so be prepared for it.
The battle system is separated in different phases, where the first one is selecting the action that you'll use, then you can see a simulation of it that will give you a general idea on how it can play out. I mention "can" because the attack power is randomized so sometimes the simulation won't be 100% accurate. Once the first action is selected, one or a few more can be chained depending on how much stamina you have left, and that allows you to beat up more than one enemy in a single attack, which was neat.
It took me a few moments to get used to the battles because of the simulation, which I often thought in the first hours that it was my actual attack being carried on. Another thing to mention is that an "Overdose" is when a character can unleash a devastating attack, similar to a limit break in Final Fantasy VII.
Once you have more than one playable character, some strategy is needed in the combats since we have to synchronize the actions timings of the characters together, using the timing bar on the upper part of the screen. For instance, if one character launches an enemy in the air and the other one attack is tailored for an airborne enemy, the timings must be adjusted manually, each time.
Being honest, I didn't like the battles of The Caligula Effect: Overdose. The encounter rate is atrocious, and each combat is long, redundant, and you'll always run off of SP, meaning you have to wait for a full turn in order to replenish enough points to attack. On the long run, it felt boring and overly repetitive.
Outside the battles, we are in the school halls and talk to the different characters from the Go-Home Club, and some students. As you talk to them, you'll become friends which unlocks Wire for this character – a direct messaging system. I thought the conversations with the other characters were weird because even if you're the new student and know near to nothing, everyone except you seems clueless and asks you questions like you are the reference, even though most members of the Go-Home Club where there long before you.
As for the game presentation, this is a Japanese school life game. Graphically, the game is built on the Unreal Engine, which was a great choice, and I loved the different visual effects in battle. I don't understand Japanese so I can't judge the voice-overs, but the different fairies had very high pitched voices. Luckily for our understanding, the game is subtitled in English, and there is a lot of text to be read there. The soundtrack is typical to what I'd hear in an anime: Some themes are J-Pop, but they weren't nearly as good as the amazing ones found in a Persona release. Finally, I'd like to mention that the save points location are unequal. Sometimes they are really far from one another, then after a little while, there are save points in your way every 5 minutes or so.
The Caligula Effect: Overdose Review is a game that presents a different school life as the students are trapped in this world. I liked the visual effects and the overall setting of the game but thought that the battle system was tedious because of redundancy, length, and while managing the timings in the attacks of the different characters is a good idea, it didn't click with me.

Amsterdam, 8 March 2018 (Regulated Information) --- AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. ("AMG", EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: "AMG") reported fourth quarter 2017 revenue of $280.7 million, an 18% increase from $237.9 million in the fourth quarter 2016. EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2017 was $33.0 million, a 10% increase from $30.0 million in the fourth quarter 2016. On a full year basis, EBITDA increased by 25% to $125.5 million, from $100.7 million in the prior year.
Net income attributable to shareholders increased to $14.3 million in the fourth quarter 2017 from $10.0 million in the fourth quarter 2016, and EPS, on a fully diluted basis, increased by 41% to $0.45 in the fourth quarter 2017 from $0.32 in the fourth quarter 2016. On a full year basis, net income attributable to shareholders increased by 40% to $57.0 million in 2017 from $40.6 million in 2016, and EPS, on a fully diluted basis, increased by 36% to $1.80 in 2017 from $1.32 in 2016.
Dr. Heinz Schimmelbusch, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO, said, "Very strong financial results in the fourth quarter 2017 resulted in the highest annual net income and earnings per share in the Company's history. Furthermore, an exceptionally strong order intake in AMG Engineering of $91.0 million in the fourth quarter resulted in the highest level of order backlog in over 8 years.
AMG Critical Materials generated EBITDA of $26.9 million during the fourth quarter 2017, an increase of 22% from $22.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, due to a combination of higher vanadium prices, improved product mix and strong sales volumes.
AMG Engineering signed $91.0 million in new orders during the fourth quarter of 2017, representing a 1.36x book to bill ratio, due to strong orders of turbine blade coating and nuclear waste treatment furnaces. Order backlog was $207.0 million as of December 31, 2017, a 53% increase from $135.5 million as of December 31, 2016. AMG Engineering achieved EBITDA of $6.1 million during the fourth quarter 2017, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2016, due primarily to higher SG&A costs in the quarter.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, AMG generated cash from operating activities of $33.3 million, an increase of $17.7 million, or 114%, over the same period in 2016. On a full year basis, AMG generated cash from operating activities of $78.5 million in 2017, an increase of $22.3 million, or 40%, compared to the same period in 2016.
This statement of long term strategy has to be amended in light of what we achieved and learned in 2017, and to date in 2018. We now believe we can achieve our goals earlier than previously expected and can commit to turning the present EBITDA level into $200 million, or more, in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020."
EBIT is defined as earnings before interest and income taxes. EBIT excludes restructuring and equity-settled share-based payments and includes foreign currency gains or losses.
EBITDA is defined as EBIT adjusted for depreciation and amortization.
AMG Critical Materials' revenue in the fourth quarter increased by $48.0 million, or 29%, to $214.0 million, driven by improved vanadium, aluminum, titanium master alloys, antimony, silicon and graphite prices, and higher sales volumes of chrome, titanium, antimony, and silicon products.
Gross profit before non-recurring items in the fourth quarter increased by $8.3 million, or 26%, to $40.1 million. Strong financial performances in vanadium, aluminum, titanium alloys and silicon metal in the quarter were partially offset by lower gross profit in tantalum. The reduction in tantalum gross profit was driven by lower prices during the fourth quarter 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year.
SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter 2017 increased by $3.1 million, or 16%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to higher personnel costs and professional fees.
EBITDA increased by $4.8 million, or 22%, to $26.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 due to higher levels of gross profit, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses.
AMG Engineering signed $91.0 million in new orders during the fourth quarter of 2017, representing a 1.36x book to bill ratio, due to strong orders of turbine blade coating and nuclear waste treatment furnaces. Order backlog was $207.0 million as of December 31, 2017, a 53% increase from $135.5 million as of December 31, 2016. On a full year basis, AMG Engineering signed $290.4 million in new orders, representing a 1.18x book to bill ratio.
AMG Engineering's fourth quarter 2017 revenue decreased by $5.2 million, or 7%, to $66.7 million, due to lower sales of remelting, vacuum induction and heat treatment furnaces, partially offset by higher sales of turbine blade coating furnaces.
Fourth quarter 2017 gross profit before non-recurring items increased by $0.9 million, or 5%, to $17.5 million, and gross margin before non-recurring items improved to 26% from 23% in the fourth quarter of 2016, due to product mix effects.
SG&A expenses increased by $1.9 million in the fourth quarter 2017 due to higher employee related expenses and research & development costs.
EBITDA decreased by $1.8 million to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, due to higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher levels of gross profit before non-recurring items.
On a full year basis, EBITDA in 2017 reduced by 6% from $27.0 million in 2016 to $25.5 million. However, EBITDA in the prior year benefited from the sale of an unused production facility in Berlin during the third quarter 2016, which contributed $4.3 million in EBITDA. Excluding this benefit in 2016, EBITDA in 2017 increased by 27%, compared to the prior year.
AMG recorded an income tax expense of $13.9 million in 2017 as compared to $8.1 million in 2016. The increase in income tax expense was driven by higher levels of profitability in 2017, compared to the prior year.
Due to the volatile nature of the company's deferred tax balances, AMG believes that the cash tax rate is a more meaningful metric. AMG paid taxes of $10.3 million in 2017 as compared to $6.6 million in 2016. For 2017, AMG's effective cash tax rate was 14%, as compared to 13% in 2016.
AMG's fourth quarter 2017 and full year 2017 gross profit include non-recurring items, which are not included in the calculation of EBITDA.
AMG Critical Materials and AMG Engineering gross profit in the fourth quarter 2017 was negatively impacted by restructuring costs related to cost reduction initiatives in Germany. In addition, AMG Critical Materials incurred asset impairment expenses in both the USA and Germany during the quarter.
During the fourth quarter 2017, AMG recorded a non-recurring environmental expense of $3.1 million related to its Newfield, NJ site, which is not included in the calculation of EBITDA.
AMG had a net debt position of $10.3 million as of December 31, 2017. Net debt increased by $3.0 million from December 31, 2016, while gross debt increased by $21.0 million.
Cash from operating activities increased to $78.5 million in 2017 from $56.2 million in 2016. In the prior year, the Company made $23.1 million of discretionary pension contributions, which reduced cash from operating activities.
Capital expenditures increased to $80.9 million in 2017 compared to $44.1 million in 2016. Capital spending in 2017 included $32.0 million of maintenance capital, compared to $18.4 million in 2016. The largest expansion capital projects in 2017 were AMG's lithium project in Brazil and the titanium aluminide expansion in Germany.
Including the $178.8 million of cash, AMG had $329.4 million of total liquidity as of December 31, 2017.
AMG's fourth quarter 2017 net finance costs were $2.3 million compared to less than $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to currency gains associated with the Mozambique Metical in the fourth quarter 2016.
AMG's fourth quarter 2017 SG&A expenses were $35.0 million, an increase of 17% from the same period in the prior year.
Full year 2017 SG&A expenses were $132.3 million, a 1% increase from $130.8 million in 2016, primarily due to an increase in research & development costs and professional fees.
AMG intends to declare a dividend of €0.28 per ordinary share over the financial year 2017. The interim dividend of €0.14, paid on August 15, 2017, will be deducted from the amount to be distributed to shareholders. The proposed final dividend per ordinary share therefore amounts to €0.14.
A proposal to resolve upon the final dividend distribution will be included on the agenda for the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 2, 2018.
AMG's lithium project is progressing in-line with expectations, and production is expected to commence mid-2018.

An elderly close family member is due to undergo surgery today, a lengthy procedure that will leave him bed bound for a number of days. It's surgery that's not without risk at his age, however it's a necessity to remove a highly aggressive malignancy.
Despite the pain he is experiencing from this abnormal tissue growth, there has been no feeling sorry for himself or complaining about his circumstances. He remains stoic, preferring to shy away from attention during conversations, instead changing the topic to the welfare of others.
A pragmatist, he faces his upcoming op with an acceptance born from knowing it's more or less a last resort to ensure further longevity to his four score and one years. When visiting him he appears unfazed while he sits in his bed, listening to some of his favourite tunes on the cd player my sister Helen bought him. When he isn't humming along, he 'treats' the rest of the ward to a backing track of cacophonous mint imperial slurping.
When we (the family) visit him, his concerns are not about the upcoming operation. They tend to focus on relaying to us putting out the brown bin, checking his wife has bought groceries with long 'use by' dates and ensuring his other OCD rituals are fulfilled.
His OCD got the best of him on Wednesday; becoming irritated when my brother Ian fractionally moved his cutlery from their designated positions on his bed tray. Our Ian learned a painful lesson that day, receiving a knuckle rap with the back of a stainless steel spoon.
This family member (who for anonymity purposes I'll call Arthur) is a loving, caring and supportive part of our brood, who we love dearly. His lifestyle decision to remain on the periphery, shunning the spotlight robs his peers of his many astute epiphanies.
A very undemonstrative man, I've never heard Arthur bad mouth anyone and is just about the only adult male I've ever met who doesn't use the 'f' word. Although an older family member said they'd once heard him tell someone "You make me f***ing sick, you chuffing moron!"…… It was an unorthodox chat up line, but bizarrely did the trick on first meeting my mum.
He always looks to see the good in everyone, whether they deserve it or not. It's difficult to see him at a stage of life where he's pained, gaunt and sometimes even without the energy to check the 'use by' date on a punnet of strawberries.
As I reach this point of the narrative, I've just taken a telephone call to say that Arthur's op will now take place next Wednesday, which may mean he can return home for a couple of days.
We've been assured that him being sent home has nothing to do with the huff he took after the nurse gave him his meds in none alphabetical order. It also is unrelated to his angry response on waking to find the bed curtains had been moved 7.5 inches towards the window overnight!
On his admission to hospital, Arthur was asked scores of questions such as medication allergies, if he required a walking stick, bowel movement regularity and when his last GP visit was…….. I have to say, as I listened to this line of questioning from an affable student nurse, I couldn't resist pointing out to pater "Bloody hell, dad. This has to be the worst pub quiz you've ever brought us to."…….. No, he didn't laugh either!

Coal-export plans going off the rails in Pacific Northwest
By Claire Thompson on May 10, 2013
Scott GrannemanYou shall not pass.
Plans for two Oregon coal-export terminals have gone up in smoke in the last two months. That makes for a total of three scrapped terminals in the Pacific Northwest, after a proposed facility in Grays Harbor, Wash., bit the coal dust last year. Three others in the region remain in the works, but they face many of the same challenges — permitting and zoning issues, stalled negotiations, and delayed environmental reviews, not to mention fierce public opposition.
A spokesperson for Kinder Morgan, which announced Wednesday it was abandoning plans for a coal-export terminal at Oregon's Port of St. Helens, "blamed site logistics for stopping the project, not the intense controversy over exporting coal from the green Northwest," reports The Oregonian. He said Kinder Morgan would continue to explore options for a West Coast terminal.
The abrupt announcement came barely a month after the Port of Coos Bay ended negotiations with a California company looking to build a terminal there. There's a chance the port could consider coal-export options with other companies, but the expensive rail improvements any project would require make a coal deal unlikely, said David Petrie, founder of Coos Waterkeeper.
Meanwhile, as options for shipping coal dwindle, the supply side has its own struggles. A deal to give Australian company Ambre Energy full control of a mine in Decker, Mont., has stalled amid reports of Ambre's financial instability, and after the mine laid off 59 people — a third of its workforce — in December. The Associated Press reports:
Ambre has been seeking to ramp up production from the once-bustling mine, and ship coal to growing Asian markets through a pair of proposed ports along the Columbia River.
But the company faces stiff opposition in Oregon and Washington state, and critics have questioned whether Ambre has the financial wherewithal to see its ambitious plans to fruition.
And speaking of setbacks, the state of Oregon has delayed permits for a transfer station at the Port of Morrow — one of the three still-viable proposed terminals — where Powder River Basin coal would arrive by train, be loaded onto barges, and be shipped down the Columbia River. The state will give Ambre Energy until Sept. 1 to put together more information about the terminal's potential impacts.
As for the other two proposed coal-export sites in the Northwest? Officials are still deciding what to cover in their environmental review of the Cherry Point terminal in Bellingham, Wash. (prompting one scientist to go rogue with his own crowdfunded investigation). The results won't be out until 2014 or 2015. And the review process for the final proposed terminal, in Longview, Wash., lags behind by another year.
Meanwhile, China — the supposed market for all this coal — continues to boost renewable energy production and gradually wean itself off coal. If any of these terminals do finally start operating, will China even want our dirty coal anymore?
