The goal determines how the steps will play out. A worthy goal can bring you through any tough time. If the outcome is not of interest to you, no simple/light task is easy. It's all a struggle if the goal is not meaningful.
Applied daily to your physical therapy practice, this simple concept has repercussions far and wide.
There is a large population that has trouble with this aspect of care. The goal is to be pain free, and past that... their "goal" is to be pain free while doing... well, they don't do anything anymore because of the longstanding pain. So, yeah. It would be nice to complete... Activities of Daily Living a little better. That's as much as you get.
From this we ask limitations, such as "how far can you walk before it hurts?" "one block" they say. So we make a goal to walk 2 blocks, or something more than they do now. We have confused this with a "goal." This may be an increase in activity, but it is not a "goal."
From here movement hurts and there is often little tolerance to the pain of movement. As we know, the goal is not theirs, and not big enough to encourage the struggle that it takes to succeed. It's not a blame thing, as in "why don't you have better goals?" It's just how it is.
We learn about S.M.A.R.T. goals and how that makes a goal a meaningful contribution to the patients chart and recovery, however, if a goal is not bigger than the task of moving through difficulty, then the treatment will fall short. Whether it be hip strengthening to reduce that trendelenburg gait or performing neck ROM drills frequently to reduce tension in movement... without an important goal, you won't get the effort, the struggle.
And there is beauty in the struggle. Value in the struggle. It's what great stories are made of.
Putting 200 lbs on your back and squatting hurts... unless you are invested in the strength outcome. Doing a supine lower trunk rotation hurts, unless something greater is awaiting you at the end. Then that "hurt" gets allocated to a different place.
The pain of destruction is different than the pain of progress.
For that certain population subset; make finding goals a bigger part of your initial treatment. Don't skip over that part lightly. Help find a goal worth working for... and there will be reward for the struggle.

5 Highlights From WatchTime New York 2018 To Fall For From Jaeger-LeCoultre, Zenith, RGM, Bremont, And Jaquet Droz
by Sabine Zwettler
An impressive range of 30 international luxury watch brands will be on hand to welcome horological enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and collectors to the fourth edition of WatchTime New York on October 26 and 27, 2018. The two-day event, held in the beautiful ambience of Manhattan's Gotham Hall, prominently located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, offers plenty of opportunity for enthusiasts and the curious alike to get in contact with brands and try on their watches.
Among the distinguished names slated to bring their latest timepieces and U.S. debuts are highly prestigious Swiss manufactures like Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breguet, Omega, and Vacheron Constantin to name just a few.
Noteworthy are intriguing indie brands like MB&F, the USA's own RGM, Czapek & Cie., and the superb Fiona Krüger. All of them will show off their latest innovations and cutting-edge designs.
Be it the traditional watchmakers or the new kids on the block, each and every one is set to present intriguing timekeepers perfectly suited to the buzzing setting of the "city that never sleeps."
Here are five personal highlights from the sophisticated horological pieces on display: a deeply classical timepiece, a stunningly skeletonized masterpiece, a highly successful remake, a notably contemporary wristwatch, and a precision-tested pilot's watch.
RGM 121-M William Penn Reissue: a horological stroll back in time
The only full-blown watch manufacture of the United States, RGM is based in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1992 by Roland G. Murphy, the company has made a name for itself by manufacturing its own high-end calibers, some with complications, and employing traditional craft techniques like in-house engine-turning for the dials.
The company's philosophy also characterizes RGM's timepieces with stories to tell. Folks from Pennsylvania and history nerds will instantly recognize the historic personality behind this particular watch: William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, who helped establish many fundamental liberties through his written constitution.
RGM 121-M William Penn Reissue in pink gold
Whereas the first examples of the William Penn series introduced about 18 years ago featured either a subsidiary seconds dial, a date display, or a moon phase indication, the latest edition on display at WatchTime New York "only" includes the line's typical moon phase in addition to the unusual power reserve indication.
Apart from that, every inch of the latest reissue is a true William Penn. Available in pink gold or stainless steel, this watch is housed within the line's signature tonneau-shaped case and refined rectangular dial featuring two different hand-cut guilloche patterns, one in the center and the other on the power reserve indication located at 1 o'clock, which is quite an uncommon, but expressive, position.
RGM 121-M William Penn Reissue in stainless steel
The beautifully detailed moon phase indication at 6 o'clock includes a smiling man in the moon surrounded by a night sky and golden stars. To complete this elegant aura, the timepiece boasts blued steel hands and bold Roman numerals that contrast well with the solid silver background.
In keeping with the historical nature of this timepiece and the new-old stock movement, it is not powered by one of the brand's newer manufacture movements, but instead by a modified Jaquet 736 (now La Joux-Perret) with manual winding. The exhibition case back reveals the Swiss movement's intricate finishing including Geneva stripes, perlage, and blued screws.

Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One: beauty to the bare bones
This year has proved a great one for skeleton watches (see Five Skeleton Watches: Omega, Jaquet Droz, Audemars Piguet, Chopard And Arnold & Son Become Transparent), with many new examples puffing a fresh breeze into the ancient craft. Among them was a true surprise marking a first for Jaquet Droz's Grande Seconde collection: the Grande Seconde Skelet-One, the "one" in the name of this new timepiece underscoring its unique character. The timepiece is available in red gold, white gold, and black ceramic.
Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One in pink gold
According to the traditional Swiss manufacture looking back on 280 years of history in 2018, the goal was to "let the light shine to the deepest reaches" of this sophisticated timepiece, all while preserving the figure 8 shape that is its hallmark.
The dial, distinguished by the signature hour-and-minute counter with Roman numerals at 12 o'clock, is dominated by a large subdial for seconds made of sapphire crystal with Arabic numerals that allows a front-row seat view into the painstakingly skeletonized movement. The base plate is entirely open-worked as is the oscillating weight in gold.

The Grande Seconde Skelet-One is powered by Caliber 2663 SQ, which is equipped with a double spring barrel and a silicon balance spring and pallet fork.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Polaris: ring a ding ding
While these days mechanical wristwatches with an alarm function are quite rare, they once represented cutting-edge technology and the latest in watchmaking.
One of the most iconic of all these is Jaeger-LeCoultre's Memovox, which made its debut in the early 1950s. Its alarm function proved very handy in the booming business era of the time and soon became a standard for many businessmen, reminding them discreetly of meetings.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Memovox
"Memovox reminds, notifies, and wakes up" reads an advertisement from 1950 highlighting the merits of the watch whose name translates into "the voice of memory."
The Memovox was quite successful through the following decades: a gorgeous example springs to mind with world-time indication and the really cool Memovox Parking function, which informed its wearer when his or her parking meter would run out of time. Fans of the brand also might remember the Memovox Deep Sea, a superb diving watch whose automatic Caliber 815 could produce an audible alarm sound underwater.
It was however 1965's Memovox Polaris diver that served as a source of inspiration for the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris line introduced at SIHH 2018. In that era of space and deep-sea exploration, Jaeger-LeCoultre saw the need to improve its striking mechanism in order to ring even more loudly underwater. One problem was the muffled chime when the watch came in contact with a diver's wetsuit, so a clever triple case back construction became the order of the day.
In 1968, the brand designed a new, sportier dial for this watch. Its pad-printed numerals were coated with tritium, as were the hour makers redesigned in a trapezoid shape, with the small triangle indicating the alarm time. The baton-shaped hands were also covered with luminescent material.
Much to the delight of many enthusiasts, the "Grande Maison" launched a new collection based on this very model in 2018. Unlike the original, the new version boasts an inner sealed case back that functions as a resonance chamber. This is made possible thanks to the fact that the gong is now positioned differently within the movement (toward the back) and that there is an outer case back with 16 openings to allow the sound to escape.
It goes without saying that this new diver-inspired icon is equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre's latest technical innovations: Caliber 956's rotor is embedded on ceramic ball bearings that don't require lubrication.
This black dial represents authentic vintage style at its best! It features a curved inner rotating bezel for timing dives, bold applied Arabic numerals and trapezoidal hour markers, and a sunburst-finished center circle for the alarm complication. In accordance with the signature aesthetic of the original, the hour and minute hands are executed in baton style.

Quick Facts Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Polaris
Case: 42 x 15.9 mm, stainless steel
Movement: automatic Caliber 956 with 45-hour power reserve
Functions: hours, minutes, seconds; date, alarm
Limitation: 1,000 pieces
Zenith Defy Classic: a new star on the horological sky
Following the success of Zenith's trailblazing Defy Lab concept watch, which employs a super-high-frequency monolithic silicon oscillator, and the high-beat Defy El Primero 21 chronograph (frequency of 50 Hz allowing for the measurement of 1/100th of a second) in 2017, this year the Le Locle-based brand added an entry level to the modern range in the form of the Defy Classic: a three-hand timepiece with date indication at 3 o'clock.
Zenith Classic Defy with blue dial
Two options with all kinds of straps and bracelets are available. One features a handsome skeletonized dial that reveals the date mechanism. However, my personal favorite is the other one with a very clean sunray-brushed blue dial, best paired with a leather strap to make for a perfect dress watch while still offering some sporty elements like water resistance of 100 meters and an ultra-light titanium case.
I feel that the Defy Classic was one of the most handsome debuts of 2018, a picture-perfect example of what a modern Swiss luxury watch should offer: understated dial design with a focus on readability, a well-proportioned case, an elegant feel, robustness, and – of course – a good mechanical movement.
Zenith Classic Defy with skeleton dial
And this design honors the watchmaker by making Zenith's Elite Caliber 670 visible through the sapphire crystal in the case back. Where we can also plainly see the brand's star logo making its revolutions on the rotor.

Quick Facts Zenith Defy Classic
Case: 41 x 10.75 mm, stainless steel
Movement: automatic Caliber Elite 670K with 48-hour power reserve, silicon escape wheel and pallet lever
Functions: hours, minutes, seconds; date
Bremont U-2/51-JET: airborne movie star
In a thorough compilation of watches, one genre of modern wristwatch should not go missing: the pilot's watch. Ever since humankind has dared to conquer the skies, wristwatches have stood the test of time by proving their worth in daring aviation adventures.
Although pilots have no more need for them today as navigation systems have taken over the task, these wristwatches remain highly sought after by enthusiasts. No surprise there: pilot's watches retain the aura of a genuine instrument one can rely on in any situation. Plus, they boast their very own distinctive style.
Bremont U-2/51-JET
It is actually quite amazing how their basic uniform characteristics – a dark dial with perfect readability and luminosity, a sturdy case, proven precision, and optional resistance to magnetism – have inspired watchmakers to create a plethora of variations for more than a century.
A more recent example of great pilot's watches is the British marque Bremont, founded in 2002 by brothers Nick and Giles English, who had survived a crash with their vintage airplane. This personal history explains the company's particular strive for tough tool watches with the best precision possible. This quest is underscored by official C.O.S.C. chronometer certificates and real-life testing by specialist flying squadrons and British ejection-seat manufacturer Martin-Baker.
The same strict requirements ring true for these watches' habillage: the stainless steel cases are treated for hardness and scratch resistance with a special technology making them seven times harder than regular stainless steel.
The stealthy U-2/51-JET offers a new twist on the brand's existing range, taking design cues from some of Bremont's military pieces commissioned by the Royal Air Force's 100 squadron members to complement their Hawk T1 jet aircraft. It combines the brand's trademark vintage 51 lume, originally found on the P-51 limited edition, with tempered blue steel hands that contrast very well with the dark backdrop of the instrument-style dial with a decidedly cool vintage touch.
The case treated with Diamond-Like Coating features the brand's signature three-part construction with the inner bidirectional bezel operated by the second crown at 4 o'clock. Water resistant to 100 meters, it is powered by a C.O.S.C.-certified automatic movement visible behind a smoky transparent case back.
This rough-and-tumble watch just made its movie debut on actor Tom Hardy's wrist in the action-packed movie Venom, which has been in theaters since early October 2018.

(2009-08-06) We've changed the JSON4Lua and JSONRPC4Lua licence from the GPL to the MIT licence, like Lua itself.
The 0.9.20 release fixes a bug in Lua 5.1 operation, introduces a json.null value to force null values in JSON encodings, improves performance (over 50% faster on some tests), and permits /* comments */ in the JSON string being decoded.
JSON4Lua is licensed under the MIT Consortium licence like Lua itself. Please see LICENCE.txt for details.
JSON4Lua is a pure-Lua module that is Lua 5.0 compatible (if you have compat-5.1 for Lua 5.0). JSON4Lua also works (perfectly, I hope) under Lua 5.1, which is where I largely use it nowadays. Since Lua is platform independent, so is JSON4Lua.
The JSON4RPC sub-module requires Lua Socket 2.0. It uses socket.http for for the RPC over http connection. Socket 2.0 includes ltn12, which is also used by JSON4RPC.
To use json.rpcserver you need a CGILua enabled webserver. However, a quick patch is required in CGILua 5.0 to support JSON-RPC.
JSON4Lua is hosted on LuaForge.
0.9.30 6 August 2009 Changed to MIT Licence.
0.9.20 4 January 2006 Introduction of local Lua functions for private functions (removed _ function prefix).
Fixed Lua 5.1 compatibility issues.
Introduced json.null to have null values in associative arrays.
Performance improvement (more than 50% on some tests) through table.concat rather than .. operator.
json.decode now ignores /* */ comments in the JSON string.
0.9.10 20 December 2005 Fixes bug with array representation when nil / null values occur in the array.
Adds content-type header of text/plain to JSON RPC http requests.
Introduces json.rpcserver module with simple JSON RPC enablement for Lua objects.
Moved the json.lua file into the json directory. Ensure, therefore, that your LUA_PATH contains a module-finding form like LUA_PATH = c:\proj\lua\?\?.lua;?.lua.
0.9.01 19 December 2005 Minor corrections to documentation.
As of version 0.9.10, all the JSON4Lua files are contained in the json subdirectory in the distribution zip.
Simply copy the json subdirectory so that it is in your Lua path.
Ensure that your LUA_PATH variable permits module resolution of the form ?/?.lua.
Returns the Lua object JSON encoded into a string.
Decodes the JSON encoded data structure, and returns a Lua object with the appropriate data.
Returns a unique value that will be encoded as a null in a JSON encoding.
Incidentally, json.null is simply a function that returns itself, so that you can use either json.null or json.null() as you fancy.
Calls the named method on the given url with the arg parameters. Returns the result and the error. If error is nil, no error occurred.
Creates a proxy server object on which JSON-RPC calls can be made. Each call will return the result, error. If error is nil, no error occurred.
Handles an incoming CGILua request as a JSON RPC request and serves the request from the given object.
The optional packReturn parameter, if set true, will, if the requested method returns more than one value, pack these returned values into an array. If only a single value is returned, it is not packed into an array. If packReturn is false (or not set), only the first return value from the requested method will be returned. This is necessitated since the JSON protocol does not permit a method call to return more than a single value.

Simultaneous radicular cyst and mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the maxilla: A diagnostic nightmare
Syed Nabil Syed Omar, Regina Cheuk Lam Lo, Wing Shan Choi
We present a case of a 20-year-old woman presenting initially with an asymptomatic palatal swelling. Radiographic examination showed a cyst at the right maxilla with bucco-lingual expansion and perforation of palatal bone. Incisional biopsy was carried out via a buccal approach and the result revealed a benign odontogenic cyst, in keeping with radicular cyst. The patient was then scheduled for cyst enucleation. During the procedure, it was found that the palatal lesion was unrelated to the maxillary cyst. Incisional biopsy of the palatal mass was carried out and revealed a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The patient then had a partial maxillectomy with fibula flap reconstruction. There was no recurrence at postoperative 1 year follow-up and she was rehabilitated with dental implants.

Minimum price of a bag will be Rs 5."Welcoming the move, R Raveendran, of Residents Awareness Association of Coimbatore, said the self-help groups should think out-of-box and produce innovative bags to attract the customers, otherwise private companies with automation technology would grab the opportunity and produce bags at much lower prices. Pointing out that the district has a capacity to produce six lakh cloth bags a day, officials said they were now in the process of identifying members of self-help groups who are capable of making such bags."We have so far identified a total of 245 members from 12 blocks who have completed training in tailoring under various government schemes.

Exclusive Photos: Andrej Pejic's Paris Fashion Week Diary
By Andrej Pejic
The first male model ever featured in "Inside the Model's Studio," the gorgeous menswear and womenswear model Andrej Pejic invited us to take an exclusive sneak peek at his private photo journal (taken on his Samsung Galaxy S III) from his time on and off both Paris men's and couture Jean Paul Gaultier runways. Click through his diary to see the Serbian-Australian model channeling Madonna at the hotel, modeling a menswear look for JPG, posing backstage with his hair in an updo (plus braid) later at Couture, and then heading out bare-legged for a snowy night in Paris with other models. As he captioned one shot, "giving sex on legs in the snow," it's obvious a few flakes won't phase him.

Tennis: Sarah Borwell aiming high at Commonwealth Games
SARAH Borwell is aiming to achieve a career high at the Commonwealth Games.
The experienced Middlesbrough-born tennis player has reinvigorated her game since specializing in doubles and will arrive in Delhi ranked as England's No 1.
She'll also have two chances of becoming the golden girl of English tennis in India as she's scheduled to compete in the women's doubles and mixed doubles.
Borwell is certainly looking forward to representing her country, saying: "It's the first time tennis has been one of the sports at the Commonwealth Games so it's a first for me.
"It also might be the last time," she adds, referring to the fact that she will probably have hung up her tennis racket by the time Glasgow 2014 comes around.
"We should be one of the front runners. I will be disappointed if I don't come home with a medal so I'm going for it.
"It would be incredible to get a medal because the Commonwealth Games are not far below Olympic standard."
If all goes to plan, Borwell will go out in style at the London Olympics.
The 31-year-old said: "London 2012 will hopefully be where I end my career, two years is enough time to get my ranking up."
Borwell was asked if she would consider playing singles as well as doubles in Delhi, but declined the offer, preferring to concentrate on her specialist events at the RK Khanna Tennis Complex.
The tennis event starts in Monday morning and runs through to Sunday evening.

Q: makeSceneTransitionAnimation not working? I am trying to perform the makeSceneTransitionAnimation in my code but it doesn' t seem to work (it tells me that the method cannot be resolved). here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

GridView gridview_id;
RelativeLayout second_activity_layout;
public int[] image_id = {R.drawable.banana, R.drawable.kiwi, R.drawable.oatmeal, R.drawable.coconut};

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    gridview_id = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview_id);
    second_activity_layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.second_activity_layout);

    gridview_id.setAdapter(new objectAdapter(this));
    gridview_id.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id){
         Intent intent = new Intent (view.getContext(), SecondActivity.class);
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                ActivityOptionsCompat options = ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(MainActivity.this,(image_id[position]) , getString(R.string.banana_transition));
                startActivity(intent, options.toBundle());

            }
            else{
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        }
    });
}
}

to make things a little more clear: I have a GridView in my MainActivity that contains clickable images, when an image is pressed, I want that particular image to display in my SecondActivity.
Please let me know if you have the solution to this, it would really help me out.
-Vidal

A: You could use the "compat" variant of this method:
ActivityOptionsCompat options = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(MainActivity.this,(image_id[position]) , getString(R.string.banana_transition));
ActivityCompat.startActivity(MainActivity.this, intent, options.toBundle());

The four canonical tpr subunits of human APC/C form related homo-dimeric structures and stack in parallel to form a TPR suprahelix.
J. Mol. Biol.
80% of the mass of the APC/C, provide scaffolding functions. A major proportion of these scaffolding subunits are structurally related. In metazoans, there are four canonical tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) proteins that form homo-dimers (Apc3/Cdc27, Apc6/Cdc16, Apc7 and Apc8/Cdc23). Here, we describe the crystal structure of the N-terminal homo-dimerization domain of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Cdc23 (Cdc23(Nterm)). Cdc23(Nterm) is composed of seven contiguous TPR motifs that self-associate through a related mechanism to those of Cdc16 and Cdc27. Using the Cdc23(Nterm) structure, we generated a model of full-length Cdc23. The resultant "V"-shaped molecule docks into the Cdc23-assigned density of the human APC/C structure determined using negative stain electron microscopy (EM). Based on sequence conservation, we propose that Apc7 forms a homo-dimeric structure equivalent to those of Cdc16, Cdc23 and Cdc27. The model is consistent with the Apc7-assigned density of the human APC/C EM structure. The four canonical homo-dimeric TPR proteins of human APC/C stack in parallel on one side of the complex. Remarkably, the uniform relative packing of neighboring TPR proteins generates a novel left-handed suprahelical TPR assembly. This finding has implications for understanding the assembly of other TPR-containing multimeric complexes.

2019 Peugeot 308. After a preview published about a month ago, Peugeot is finally ready to talk about facets 308 2019 Peugeot 308. There are more changes of the eye because the update of the intermediate cycle of the compact car focuses on the internal components instead improve it abroad, which , You see, was practically postponed from the previous model. Peugeot 308 car The family car has a few separate Nipps and Tucks for 2018 to help her keep up with the likes of VW Golf recently and the new Renault Megane. This revised French offer will be sold in September 2018 and should cost about £19,000.
It seems that the subtlely was arranged today down in the Peugeot Design section. Even more eye-catching car nuts may fail to detect angular headlights slightly more slightly a car, a larger trapezoidal grille and a rebuilt front valve while its new slim indicators are just vulnerable to infiltrating under the radar. Thus, Peugeot has not released any images from the rearview image of the car The new image but leaked from the Peugeot forum, above, show us that it will look almost identical to the outgoing car. Peugeot did not make any noticeable visual changes to cabin 2019 Peugeot 308 – instead I decided to upgrade the information and entertainment system in the car instead. Apple Car Play, Android Auto and Mirrorlink features are all available along the new Nav Sat Nav with 3D Maps and Voice Control functions.
More importantly, the recently developed 1.6-liter S-S 130 S & S engine makes it the first time on a PSA car. More than 200 patents were registered during the engineering process and replacement of the B-120 B & S unit. The engine name also indicated that it had more than 10 horsepower compared with its predecessor, to six percent less than fuel. Not only that, but Peugeot says that the performance almost corresponds to the unit greater than 2.0 liters. If you prefer to have a gasoline engine, there is an updated version of the Bioritz 130 S & S BVM6 1.2 liter about four percent faster than before.
At the same time, it is clear that clean by installing the gasoline particulate filter and other emission control solutions, including the new catalytic converter, the optimum exhaust temperature and heat resistance higher materials. Elsewhere, the most sports 2019 Peugeot 308 g with 180 hp diesel has A new eight-speed automatic transmission developed by Peugeot in collaboration with Aisin. Is up to seven percent more economical than the six-speed gearbox menu, and at the same time, kilogram cuts. All available assistive vehicles for the 3008 and 5008 SUV are now available on the revised 2019 Peugeot 308, including active and remote brake warning, active lane departure warning, and driver warning attention.
The updated model also accommodates the recognition of speed signals and motion velocity, while adaptive speed control has a stop function. The largest version of the group, 2019 Peugeot 308 GTI, and soldiers on 270 horsepower and 62 miles per hour (100 km / h) in six seconds. It is mounted on 19-inch alloy wheels and gets many trips, such as the limited differential torsen, red caliper brakes, Michelin Billot Super Sport tires and powerful 380 mm front and 268 mm rear brakes. The debut with facial facelift is a new Frankie tone painting scheme combining the magnetic blue with the Nera Perla.
2019 Peugeot 308 SW real estate will receive identical visual upgrades. The new 2019 Peugeot 308 goes on sale in September 2018 and is expected to cost about £19,000. Top spec models can remodel you in the area of £28,000.

Q: Proving that $\lim_{x\to a} f(x) \leq \lim_{x \to a} g(x)$ Suppose that $f(x) \leq g(x) \text{ for all }x$. Prove that $\lim_{x\to a} f(x) \leq \lim_{x \to a} g(x)$ provided these limits exist.
Attempt: I am not even sure how to start this question.  I had made an attempt but it was getting nowhere when I did it. I found a solution to the question, but I still do not understand what is going on:
Suppose $$ l = \lim_{x\to a}f(x) \geq \lim_{x\to a}g(x) = m$$. Let $$\epsilon = l - m > 0$$
Then  there is $$\delta > 0 \text{ such that if } 0 <|x-a|<\delta \Rightarrow |l-f(x)|< \frac{\epsilon}{2} \text{ and } |m-g(x)| < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$$
Thus for $$0 <|x-a|<\delta \text{ we have } g(x) < m + \frac{\epsilon}{2} = l - \frac{\epsilon}{2} < f(x)$$
Contradicting the hypothesis.
My problem is I do not see clearly what the hypothesis is and of equal importance I don't see how this proof accomplishes the objectives of the question.

A: The hypothesis is that $f(x)\le g(x)$ for all $x$. We want to show under this hypothesis that
$$\lim_{x\to a}f(x)\le\lim_{x\to a}g(x)\;.\tag{1}$$
The idea of the proof is to show that if $(1)$ is false, then so is the hypothesis: we'll assume that $(1)$ is false and use that assumption to find an $x$ such that $f(x)\not\le g(x)$, i.e., such that $f(x)>g(x)$.
The first step is just for convenience, so that we don't have to write so much: we let $\ell=\lim_{x\to a}f(x)$ and $m=\lim_{x\to a}g(x)$. Now we assume that $(1)$ is false, i.e., that $\ell>m$. (You have $\ell\ge m$ in your question, but that can't be right.) Then we let $\epsilon=\ell-m$; since we're assuming that $\ell>m$, we know that $\epsilon>0$.
Now we apply the definition of limit twice. Since $\ell=\lim_{x\to a}f(x)$, there is a $\delta_f>0$ such that $|\ell-f(x)|<\frac{\epsilon}2$ whenever $0<|x-a|<\delta_f$. And since $m=\lim_{x\to a}g(x)$, there is a $\delta_g>0$ such that $|m-g(x)|<\frac{\epsilon}2$ whenever $0<|x-a|<\delta_g$. Now let $\delta=\min\{\delta_f,\delta_g\}$; clearly
$$|\ell-f(x)|<\frac{\epsilon}2\quad\textbf{and}\quad|m-g(x)|<\frac{\epsilon}2$$
whenever $0<|x-a|<\delta$. The first of these implies that
$$f(x)>\ell-\frac{\epsilon}2$$
whenever $0<|x-a|<\delta$, and the second implies that
$$g(x)<m+\frac{\epsilon}2$$
whenever $0<|x-a|<\delta$. Put the two together: if $0<|x-a|<\delta$, then
$$g(x)<m+\frac{\epsilon}2=\ell-\frac{\epsilon}2<f(x)\;.$$
We've found not just one $x$ such that $g(x)>g(x)$: we've found a whole interval of them. This certainly contradicts the hyposthesis that $f(x)\le g(x)$ for all $x$, and that contradiction shows that our assumption that $\ell>m$ is impossible. Thus, it must be true that $\ell\le m$, which is what we wanted to prove.

A: If you understand the meaning of limit clearly you will observe that the result in question is too obvious. If $f(x) \to l$ as $x \to a$ and $g(x) \to m$ as $x \to a$ then we can get the values of $f(x)$ as close to $l$ as we want by taking values of $x$ sufficiently close to $a$ and we can get values of $g(x)$ as close to $m$ as we want by taking $x$ sufficiently close to $a$.
Now let $l > m$. Since it is possible to make $f(x)$ close to $l$ and $g(x)$ close $m$ and $l > m$ then you will get values of $f(x)$ which are greater than $g(x)$ and hence $f(x) > g(x)$ which contradicts our hypotheses. Thus $l \leq m$.
The reasoning in the last paragraph depends on the following very very obvious fact: If $l > m$ then there is a neighborhood $A$ of $l$ and a neighborhood $B$ of $m$ such that all points of $A$ are greater than all points of $B$. Informally if $l > m$ then points near $l$ are greater than point nears $m$.
The use of $\epsilon - \delta$ type argument does not add any extra rigor to whatever I wrote above, it only adds formalism and makes the argument look high brow and perhaps is a good way to intimidate beginners. In fact this is precisely the reason you did not understand what is going on in the solution you found.

A: Your proof by contradiction should begin with a strict inequality: "Suppose $l = \lim_{x\to a}f(x) > \lim_{x\to a}g(x) = m$."  Continuing:
Pick an $\epsilon > 0$ so small that the neighborhoods $Y_{l} = ]l - \epsilon, l+\epsilon[, Y_{m} = ]m - \epsilon, m+\epsilon[$ have no point in common.  (Note: $l - \epsilon > m + \epsilon$.) There exist: (1) a neighborhood $X_{f}$ of $a$ that gets mapped by $f$ into $Y_{l}$, and (2) a neighborhood $X_{g}$ of $a$ that gets mapped by $g$ into $Y_{m}$.  Therefore, every point $x$ in $X_{f} \cap X_{g}$ gets mapped  into $Y_{l}$ by $f$ and into $Y_{m}$ by $g$.  But then, by the Note above, $f(x) > g(x)$.  This is a contradiction.

Q: Auxiliary Epsilon - is it mathematically rigorous if it's larger than epsilon? Assume $a_n \rightarrow L$. Thus, applying the standard definition, $\forall \epsilon > 0, \exists N\in\mathbb{N},\, \forall n\geq N, |a_n-L| < \epsilon$.
I'm in an introductory real analysis class, and my professor will sometimes use an "auxiliary epsilon" $\epsilon_0$ and show that $|a_n - L| < \epsilon_0$ where $\epsilon_o$ is defined in terms of $\epsilon$.
I was having a debate with my friend about the relationship between $\epsilon_0$ and $\epsilon$.
I believe that for this proof to be rigorous, $\epsilon_0$ must be less than or equal to $\epsilon$ for it to be sufficient to show  $|a_n - L| < \epsilon_0$ instead of $|a_n - L| < \epsilon$. So for example, arriving at $|a_n-L| <  \epsilon_0 = c*\epsilon$ for $c > 1$ would not be mathematically rigorous.  Like if you chose epsilon to be $.1$, I don't see how it's enough to say that $|a_n-L|$ must be less than $.2$, if $c$ were $2$ here.
However, my friend argued that because it's an arbitrary positive $\epsilon$, as long  as the statement is universal, it doesn't matter because you can take a smaller epsilon to fit your range. So he's saying that in the case where $\epsilon = .1$ and $\epsilon_0 = .2$, you can choose $\epsilon =.05$ so $\epsilon_0 = .1$ which satisfies the original $\epsilon = .1$.
Which is correct? I presume I'm looking at it like $\epsilon-\delta$ proofs of limits, where you must specify a $\delta$ for which all corresponding function values are within $\epsilon$ of the limit. If $\delta$ is too wide and there's some value $x$ for which $|x-a|<\delta$ and $|f(x)-L|>\epsilon$, then the proof is invalid. I'm thinking the same logic would apply here.

A: Your friend is correct in this case. Keep in mind that in an $\varepsilon-\delta$ proof, we are never really choosing an explicit value for $\varepsilon$; rather, we are saying that for any arbitrarily small $\varepsilon$, our sequence of $\{a_n\}$ is within $\varepsilon$ of $L$ eventually. If $\varepsilon_0=c\varepsilon$, then if $\varepsilon$ is taken to be arbitrarily small, then so is $\varepsilon_0$.

A: Ben's answer addresses the heart of the matter, but I want to complement it with an example.
Say we proved that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there is $N_\varepsilon\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $n\ge N_\varepsilon$ implies $|a_n-L|<c\varepsilon$, for some fixed constant $c$.
Now we can use this result to prove what we really want.
Indeed, fix $\varepsilon>0$ and choose $N:=N_{\varepsilon/c}$.
Then $N$ satisfies
$$n\ge N \implies |a_n-L|<c\left(\varepsilon/c\right)=\varepsilon.$$
Hence we have shown precisely what is required by the definition of sequence convergence. This same "trick" works for other limits, continuity, etc.., which is why authors will usually just end their proof without its inclusion (or mention).
Here's an explicit example:

If $a_n\to a$ and $b_n\to b$, then $a_n+b_n\to a+b$.

Proof:
Fix $\varepsilon>0$. Since $a_n\to a$, there exists $N_1\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $|a_n-a|<\varepsilon$ whenever $n\ge N_1$. Similarly, from $b_n\to b$ we can find $N_2\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $|b_n-b|<\varepsilon$ whenever $n\ge N_2$.
Thus, taking $N:=\max\{N_1,N_2\}$, we obtain
$$
n\ge N \implies |a_n+b_n-(a+b)|\le|a_n-a|+|b_n-b|<2\varepsilon. \tag*{$\square$}
$$
In the proof above we applied the definition of $a_n\to a$ and $b_n\to b$ for $\varepsilon$ to obtain an $N$ that "works" for $2\varepsilon$. Alternatively, we could have applied the definition of $a_n\to a$ and $b_n\to b$ for $\varepsilon/2$ to obtain an $N$ that "works" for $\varepsilon$. Let's see how this would look.
Proof:
Fix $\varepsilon>0$. Since $a_n\to a$, there exists $N_1\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $|a_n-a|<\varepsilon/2$ whenever $n\ge N_1$. Similarly, from $b_n\to b$ we can find $N_2\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $|b_n-b|<\varepsilon/2$ whenever $n\ge N_2$.
Thus, taking $N:=\max\{N_1,N_2\}$, we obtain
$$
n\ge N \implies |a_n+b_n-(a+b)|\le|a_n-a|+|b_n-b|<\varepsilon. \tag*{$\square$}
$$


Diecast model buses, trams, trains, lorries and cars have long been popular collectables. Early Corgi and Dinky diecast models dating from the 1950s are highly collectable today as are older model trains from manufacturers such as Hornby, Lionel, Marklin, Bachmann and Fleishchmann. Most of these companies continue to produce models today, often producing the same model in a number of different transport company liveries. Model buses, in particular, are often available in many different liveries with authentic route details, licence plates and advertising.
Good quality diecast model vehicles are usually made to scale, meaning that they are sized in proportion to the real thing. For example, a 1:16 scale model car is exactly 1/16th the size of the actual car, in all respects. Popular scales for model cars, buses and lorries include 1:72 and 1:76. 1:76 scale is the correct scale for use with OO gauge model railway layouts - using the right-sized vehicles can really add to the realism of a layout.
High-quality diecast model buses have been popular with collectors for many years. Many offer terrific levels of realistic detail and larger models often have opening doors, bonnets, luggage compartments and other features that add to the authenticity of the model. Seating, dashboards and other interior features are usually faithfully recreated, as are engine details on some larger-scale models. Also popular with some collectors are diecast trams and trolley buses. These were once a common sight in our towns and cities and today are making a gradual comeback across the UK in cities such as Nottingham, Edinburgh and Sheffield.

Starting July 5, 2018, all Smart, TNT and Sun prepaid loads now have a validity period of one year. This includes all load denominations of Smart Prepaid, Smart Bro, TNT, Sun Prepaid, Sun Broadband Wireless Prepaid, Smart Link, Smart Marino, PLDT Prepaid Landline Plus and PLDT Home.
The one-year validity period applies to regular load denominations only. Once a certain load amount is used to register to a promo/package or sent via PasaLoad, the validity period of that promo or PasaLoad transaction applies to the used amount.
This development completes our compliance with the Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 05-12-2017 issued jointly by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Asura's Wrath demo available now
The last few days have contained a lot of news about game demos and the last 24 hours were no different. Not only did Square-Enix make a demo available for Final Fantasy XIII-2, but Capcom also released a demo for Asura's Wrath. You can sample the anticipated action title by downloading it from either Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network, depending on your preference.
If you download the demo, you'll be able to battle enemies that appear in two episodes from the full game, which will be available on February 21st. You'll meet Wyzen (a boss that Capcom describes as "planetary sized") and Asura's old mentor, Augus, on this journey for revenge against each of the eight deities who betrayed Asura 12,000 years ago. Execute a mix of range attacks and visceral close quarters action to fill Asura's 'Burst Gauge,' unleashing the full forces of his rage and devastation.
Asura may be angry, but gamers have no reason to fume now that they can play a sample of the game for free as they wait for its eventual release.

Slapped with a show-cause notice to its Governor Urijit Patel from the CIC, the Reserve Bank of India has sought time till November 26 from the commission, highest adjudicating body in RTI matters, for furnishing its response.
Slapped with a show-cause notice to its Governor Urijit Patel from the CIC, the Reserve Bank of India has sought time till November 26 from the commission, highest adjudicating body in RTI matters, for furnishing its response. The case is likely to meet a dead end as Information Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu will complete his term in the panel on November 20 which will be his last date of working, sources said. Acharyulu had asked the RBI to furnish response by November 16, but the bankers' bank has now sought time till November 26, sources said.
The Central Information Commission (CIC) had issued the notice to Urijit Patel as the RBI refused to disclose the list of big loan defaulters in spite of orders of the Supreme Court (Jayantilal Mistry case in 2015) which had asked the RBI to abide by one of the orders of the then Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi calling for the disclosure of the loan defaulters under the Right to Information Act. Acharyulu had said that such defiance of Supreme Court orders cannot be at the level of Central Public Information Officer.
He said the RBI governor should be considered as deemed CPIO under the provisions of the RTI Act for not disclosing the information and explain why he should not face maximum penalty for obstructing information in spite of apex court orders. Acharyulu overturned earlier position taken by a two-member bench of the commission comprising the then Information Commissioners Manjula Prasher and Sudhir Bhargava both former bureaucrats. They were hearing a case of activist Subhash Agrawal who had also sought the list of defaulters of Rs one crore and above under the RTI Act.
In 2017, they said that matter cannot be decided till Supreme Court gives an order in Prashant Bhushan case filed in 2003 wherein he had sought details of loan defaulters of Rs 500 crore and above. Ironically, the Bhushan case which is going on in Supreme Court is not about applicability of the RTI in the disclosure of the information as it was filed two years before the RTI Act was enacted. The Supreme Court order in Jayantilal Mistry case, on which Acharyulu has relied to issue the notice to RBI governor, pertains specifically to disclosure of information of loan defaulters under the RTI Act .
In Mistry case in 2015, a two-member bench of the Supreme Court upheld a CIC order by Shailesh Gandhi directing RBI to disclose the information on loan defaulters and rejected all the contentions of the bankers' bank against disclosure. The bench however preferred to go with proceedings in Bhushan case where no final orders have been given.
"I had pleaded very strongly before the CIC bench (Prasher and Bhargava) to consider Mistry case judgement of the SC in 2015 but they thought otherwise to rely on Bhushan case which is pending," Agrawal said. He said in the 2017 order they decided to keep matter pending till SC gave its order in Bhushan case in spite of clear directions of apex court in Mistry case in 2015 to disclose the information.
Although the Bhushan case pertained to seeking disclosure of loan defaulters of Rs 500 crore and above, it was not about applicability of RTI on such a list, he said. Even after three years, the Supreme Court bench which is hearing Prashant Bhushan case has not stayed operation of its two-judge bench order of 2015 in Jayantilal Mistry case.
The RBI has been denying the information citing the clauses of economic interests of the state, the commercial confidence and the information held in fiduciary capacity. Hearing a petition of applicant Sandeep Singh, Acharyulu rejected the contentions of the RBI.
"The commission considers the Governor as a deemed PIO responsible for non-disclosure and defiance of SC orders and CIC orders and directs him to show cause why maximum penalty should not be imposed on him for these reasons, before November 16, 2018," he had said. He said great secrecy of vigilance reports and inspection reports was being maintained by the RBI with "impunity" in spite of Supreme Court confirming the orders of CIC in Jayantilal case. Upholding the orders of the CIC to disclose list of loan defaulters and other issues, the Supreme Court in Mistry case had said RBI was supposed to uphold public interest and not the interest of individual banks.
"RBI is clearly not in any fiduciary relationship with any bank. RBI has no legal duty to maximise the benefit of any public sector or private sector bank, and thus there is no relationship of 'trust' between them. RBI has a statutory duty to uphold the interest of the public at large (the depositors) the country's economy and the banking sector.
"Thus, RBI ought to act with transparency and not hide information that might embarrass individual banks. It is duty bound to comply with the provisions of the RTI Act and disclose the information sought by the respondents, " it had said.

On Monday, the mom asked Chanel from the Random Felines blog what she thought of Mondays.
Today, she asks Chanel's travelin' sister, Cupcake (from the blogs Cats Herd You and Cats Going Places) if Wednesdays are any better.
Only if there is a Starbucks.
She looks a bit consternated, don't you think?
Consternated is a good word for that face!
She was totally consternated with the hotel's whipped cream. She dissed it after discovering it was *whispers* whipped topping.
Great photo! Your human is the best with the camera.
Aw, shucks, too bad your wish was not fulfilled...therefore Wednesdays are no better taan Mondays...or any other whipped cream-less days. But you could dream!
No whipped cream? What kind of sham operation are they running?
Any day is better with Starbucks, cupcakes and whipped cream!
Wait, they didn't have cupcakes or whipped cream? The horror!
She looks like she's waiting for her whipped cream.
No whipped cream should be illegal.
Mmmm, Mom likes whipped cream. I've never had any.
Such a pretty kitty, and now my mom is craving a cupcake with lots of frosting.


I have kind of a confession to make – before I had Weston (almost a year ago) I frequently shopped at Target and got incredible deals. It was a regular part of my routine along with the grocery store and CVS.
However, after I added a third child to the mess mix, I just stopped going anywhere unless it was at night or on the weekend. As you can imagine that cut down on my shopping time quite severely and I just stopped going to Target completely, except for the random purchase of a single full price item out of necessity.
Recently I received a gift card to Target and since there is a cruise on the horizon and this Momma has nothing appropriate that fits to wear, I ventured out to Target today with all three of the munchkins along.
And I found some great deals . . . but no clothes. I wasn't good enough to pull that off. Guess that will have to be a solo trip some other time.
1. Meat – lots of good cuts of meat with the $2 and $3 discount coupons stuck to them. The items were only $4 – $7 to begin with so that made them very cheap.
2. Classico Pasta Sauce – White sauce marked down to $2 a jar with coupons attached for buy 2 white sauces, get a red sauce for FREE. Also had a coupon for $1/2 Classico – so that was three jars of sauce for $3.
3. Toddler clothes – 75% off I picked up some lined navy pants in size 2T and 3T for Weston, just $1.75 each and an adorable striped, long-sleeved shirt for $1.50.
That's about as far as I got before the natives were restless, but I was quite happy with it.
Have you found any incredible deals at Target recently that I should keep an eye out on my next trip?
Our trips are always hurried when I really like to take my time. It hurts to walk now that i'm pregnant with my 6th, the kids always go crazy and i'm scrambling to find the coupons I need to use. I like my husband with me because I need the help and he's fun to shop with LOL. After all the coupons and discounts today it was a little under $50 when the total was over $100.. so not bad. Two boxes of diapers were the most of that.. glad that at least target had $1.50 off store coupons.
I got a couple pair of jeans for $2.49 after a couple of $5 off coupons, cheap A&D ointment since target has $2 off coupons on their site, free lightbulbs, .15 cent cereal, free excedrin, free cake mix, cheap frozen veggies and salad dressing with more target coupons and several more items.


I read this quote this morning and I have to admit I have no idea how to embrace the current state of affairs. I've had my fair share of ups and downs for some time now and I am hoping the new season comes along soon. I know this is transitional, but I really want it to end. I am ready for the calm. I don't think I am good at dealing with the current season of life. I wonder what is this current season of life teaching me…what is the lesson that I will learn? I guess I better embrace it and will find out. But in a mean time I would like to enjoy some of these.
