Fostering Inquiry, Embracing Creativity
Ali Weinstein '17 had already cultivated a unique approach to conference work by the time she began her "Biology of Living and Dying" course. In addition to completing a traditional research project for each course, she would also write a feature-length screenplay that enabled her to explore course material in a fresh context while building a portfolio to support her pursuit of a screenwriting career.
Biology faculty member Leah Olson had worked with performing arts students before and was herself pursuing a new line of inquiry, teaching a course about metabolic processes instead of her usual neurobiology. When Ali shared her unorthodox conference project idea, Leah happily supported it.
Meeting at the Intersection of Science and Art
Leah recalls, "Half of the course dealt primarily with regulation of feeding behavior and eating, and the other with aging. Students generally pick a conference project related to one or the other. Ali was a bit unusual; she was interested in emerging pharmacological treatments to slow down the aging process.
"Ali wanted to dramatize the idea of being able to postpone or slow aging. In her screenplay she wrote about a world in which, at age 18, everyone has to make a decision about whether they will take anti-aging treatments or not, resulting in two populations: those who essentially live forever and those who chose to live a regular lifespan. She followed two close friends who made different decisions. I thought it was really brilliant."
"My goal is to develop writing that I can then refine and put out into the real world," Ali explains. "And since the hardest thing for me is to actually get a screenplay finished, by doing it as part of a project with a finite timeline, I ensure I'll get it done."
In conferences, Leah offered guidance, while Ali's drive to create led the process. "She had so much energy and determination," Leah remembers. "We talked about her ideas, and I helped her with the literature about aging and pharmacological treatments. Otherwise, I gave her a free hand to pursue what she wanted to do. She wasn't the kind of student who needed prodding!"
At the end of the semester, Ali produced both a 17-page research paper and a 110-page screenplay.
The Thrill of the "Eureka!" Moment
For Ali, Sarah Lawrence provides an environment where students' intellectual curiosity fuels new avenues of exploration and interconnectedness across disciplines. "My brain is connecting these fictional characters I care about to real science. It's happened for me in all of my classes, where I get this 'Eureka!' moment of understanding how everything connects, and it's such a great feeling."
To Leah, Ali represents what the arts can bring to the study of science, and vice versa. "Over the years, I've had many students from the performing arts who have shown an interest in sciences. They're used to paying attention to detail. The kind of discipline and curiosity that you need to do science well is also what you need to do the arts well, and it's relatively easy to move between the two disciplines."
"I'm so thankful I've been given the space to explore my passions," says Ali of her Sarah Lawrence experience, "and to apply them to something I can use in the real world."

Dewy mornings and cold nights bring summer to an end as the glorious season of autumn comes to reign. As well as shorter days and crisper weather, autumn brings with it a Kiwi classic - the sweet, aromatic feijoa. The unmistakable scent and flavour of this delicious fruit is synonymous with the shift in seasons, yet the sheer quantity of fruit hitting backyards at this time of year can be overwhelming and it often goes to waste. The feijoa has a peculiar ripening behaviour - the major stumbling block in the fruit's commercialisation. Feijoas drop from the tree when they are perfectly ripe, and at perfect ripeness the feijoa is a sensational fruit - tropically fragrant, sweet yet tart, juicy and luscious. Ripe fruit should be stored in the fridge and will keep for up to two weeks. Over-ripe fruit can be hard to discern from the outside, but when opened is often discoloured and with an unpleasant turpentine-like flavour.
Feijoas are relatively hardy plants. They cope with frosts and coastal winds but do best in full and well-drained soil. Most people neglect their feijoa bushes, but they will respond to plenty of compost and a little potash in late winter. Plenty of water during dry summer months will be rewarded with plump fruit in autumn. While a light shake of the tree is okay, don't be tempted to pluck feijoas direct from the branches as you will be disappointed - they will ripen no more and will remain sour, hard and dry. A catch net under the tree is the best way to harvest feijoas, and ideally fruit should be collected daily.
Feijoas are delicious as a dessert in crumbles, cakes and fruit pies, and add spark to fruit salad. While feijoas oxidise rapidly, a dash of honey or lime when serving them fresh will help to retain their colour. Their perfumed flavour goes well with ginger, honey and passionfruit. They are excellent with dairy products such as ice cream, and they make a very good chutney.

Rock Magnetism Lab is Exhumed
The Princeton campus is evolving — and not at a glacial pace. Twelve major construction projects are carving up the campus (https://facilities.princeton.edu/projects) and one of them that broke ground on Ivy Lane this summer will be the new home of Geosciences.
And as part of another project, that quirky underground Rock Magnetism Laboratory half-buried between Guyot and Eno Halls, which was the site of ground-breaking 20th century research, will become a part of Princeton history.

So, did you get the treerat? You can't leave us hanging like this!
Are Treerats the same species as squirrels? I have never seen domesticated dogs or cats eat squirrels????
Yes tree rats are squirrels and both dogs and cats eat them. Humans also eat squirrels in the USA the stew is called Brunswick stew it is traditionally made with squirrel, rabbit or opossum meat, but chicken is most commonly used in modern versions.

Q: How to perform LINQ on IEnumerable / IEnumerable? I have
IEnumerable<Employee> GetAllEmployees()
{
  return Get<IEmployeeRepository>().GetAll();
}

Where IEmployeeRepository is
public interface IEmployeeRepository
    {
        IEnumerable<Employee> GetAll();
    }

Employee.cs is as under
public class Employee
    {
        public int EmployeeId { get; set; }
        public string EmployeeName { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }
        public int Salary { get; set; }
    }

Now I want to perform a search on the records obtained from GetAllEmployees() based on the EmployeeId passed. Like as under
public void SearchEmployee(int empId)
        {
            var empRecords = this.GetAllEmployees();
            var filteredRecords = empRecords.
        }

I actually looked into this answer but could not fit into the requirement.
What I need to do?

A: I just figured out that the namespace System.Linq is missing.
Else we could even do
foreach (var item in empRecords)
{
   //
}

I will give the credit to @ Jenish Rabadiya, though others have also given correct opinion.

A: This is the object first you need to convert to list of object and then try to cast it.
 (empRecords as IEnumerable<object>).Cast(....)

Bode Miller Apologizes After Marriage Comments
Bode Miller Blamed a Female Skier's Poor Results on Her Marriage
He apologized later.
By Justin Kirkland Published: Feb 15, 2018
Champion ski racer and gold medalist Bode Miller joined the NBC commentator stand to finally shed some insight on why one competing gold medalist might not be at the top of her game. NBC analyst Dan Hicks pointed out that since tearing an ACL a few years back, Austrian skier and gold medalist Anna Veith hasn't been able to match her pre-injury performance.
Bode Miller stepped right in with an additional conclusion: It must be her recent marriage. Pack up your ski boots, kids. We have a culprit. As we all also know, men wear ski pants, girls wear ski dresses, all dogs are boys, and all cats are girls.
Specifically, Miller said, "I want to point out she also got married... and it's historically very challenging to race on the World Cup with a family or after being married." He then landed that complicated jump with, "Not to blame the spouses, but I just want to toss it out there that it may be her husband's fault."
Good, wonderful. He followed up with a joke, saying, "On Valentine's Day, I didn't mean to throw spouses under the bus." Don't worry, man, you didn't throw all spouses under the bus. Just women.
Twitter stepped in immediately to make note of Miller's comments and how under no circumstance would the same conclusion be made if it were a man competing. Bode doubled down on Twitter, backtracking the original comments but maintaining that a new spouse is definitely grounds to throw you off your game.
To be clear I was not seriously blaming Anna Veith's lack of results on her husband. It's a changing of priorities that is historically hard, male or female.
— Bode Miller (@MillerBode) February 15, 2018
He then went on to say that he had the support of his wife while he was racing in Sochi, where he won bronze.
I had the love and support of my wife while I was racing and I know it can be a huge asset. #happyvalentinesday
Nothing like a good Valentine's Day reminder that love is patient, love is kind, love might get blamed for the natural damage of an ACL injury.

Home ownership in Turkey is declining
December 21, 2022 by naminov
SAFAKNA TURKEY – A study by the Center for Economic and Social Research at Bahcesehir University (BETAM) found that home ownership in Turkey has declined significantly over the years.
Accordingly, the homeownership rate, which stood at 59 percent in 2010, has dropped to 55.5 percent in 2021.
When analyzing the share of home ownership in various income groups, this indicator ranges from 51.3 to 46 (5.3 points) in the lowest income group and from 58.5 to 52.8 (5.7 points) in the middle income group . it can be seen that it decreased from 70.4% to 66.1 (4.3 points).
STARTED TO FALL SINCE 2014
According to the information contained in the BETAM policy brief, during the period 2010-2014, when the share of housing ownership did not decrease, the real price of a housing unit increased by 28.6 percent.
Noting that despite this increase, the number of homeowners did not decrease, the note stated: "This is due to a strong increase in real household disposable income due to strong growth over the same period" and goes on:
"In fact, the ratio of the average current level of house prices to the average disposable income of the population increased by 16 percent in just four years, and the average annual increase was 4 percent."
The number of homeowners has been declining since 2014, according to the study.
INCOME OF CITIZENS DID NOT INCREASE AS HOUSING PRICES
The study shows that while economic growth has averaged just over 6 percent over the past two years (1.8 percent in 2020, 11 percent in 2021), home ownership continues to decline as household income growth remains well below housing growth. . price rise. It was emphasized that this was not surprising.
In a study that looked in detail at home ownership by income group, it was noted that at the end of 10 years, the lowest income group experienced a major decline in the number of homeowners.
The note indicated that the homeownership rate, which was 51.3 percent in 2010, has dropped to 46 percent in 2021:
"However, this decline is the end result of very strong volatility. What is striking about this income group is the significant increase in home ownership up to 2015: homeownership increased from 51.3 percent to 54.1 (about 3 percentage points)."
HOME OWNERSHIP IN TURKEY IS HIGHER THAN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND
On the other hand, the level of home ownership in Turkey was compared with Hungary, Poland, Romania, Mexico, Chile, Germany and Switzerland.
Accordingly, it turned out that the level of home ownership in Turkey is significantly higher than in Germany and Switzerland, where incomes are much higher: 56% in Turkey, 44% in Germany and 38% in Switzerland.
"This comparison clearly shows that there is not always a valid economic law, since the higher the income per capita, the greater the home ownership," the study says.
THE HIGHEST HOUSING PROPERTY IN ROMANIA, HUNGARY AND POLAND
The countries with the highest number of homeowners were respectively Romania, Hungary and Poland.
As of 2020, the share of homeowners in these countries was 97, 88 and 79 percent, respectively.
It has been stated that although the per capita income in these countries is similar to Turkey, the home ownership rate is much higher than in Turkey.
The common feature of these three countries is that they are former socialist countries.
This study stated:
"The sale of public housing to residents on the cheap after the establishment of the socialist regime in Romania explains the very high level of home ownership in this country – 97.3% in 2010.
It can be predicted that the high levels of home ownership in Hungary and Poland will be the result of a similar development."

To Whom this Concerns: I know Kiran Nayak from 2GBX Studio and as an Intern in my office. He is a rigorous, mature, thoughtful person and someone I trust innately. He has just the right combination of experience in professional practice and academic interests, which i think makes him a great asset. His design work is at the top of his class. He is a natural leader among his peers, and without even being aware of it, organizes people around him into formidable teams. I offer him my highest recommendation; I just can't say enough about him.
This is to certify that Architect Kiran Nayak heading the company Architecture and Research laboratory(ARL), Bangalore, India-designed a 20 bed, 4 storied super-speciality Dental Hospital for Rajan Dental Institute to be located in T . Nagar. The work design was done very diligently and stylishly incorporating all the aspects that would finally showcase a dental hospital that has a blend of latest technology, safety, comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Ar Kiran Nayak has helped in identifying, negotiating, and co-ordinating on our behalf with the electrical,fire safety, civil & plumping and interior decorator contractors.
Ar Kiran has taken special measures and invested a lot of creative efforts and time and designed the hospital that consisted of 24 clinics, 10 beds in private and general wards, fully fledged operation theatre, X- ray and Scan centre, amphitheatre styled training hall, sterilization area and interiors to suit each of these areas including a floor for office space and pantry hall.
I am very happy with the design and output of Ar Kiran Nayak and will be very happy to collaborate with him in any of our future projects and will be very happy to recommend his name to others who may require his expertise in the field of architecture and design especially a dental hospital/super specialty clinic.
Kiran did a great job designing and executing the construction of my new home. A young and dynamic architect with brilliant and innovative ideas! Very contemporary with trendy ideas and concepts. I appreciate his commitment and would recommend his designs and work!
It is with distinct pleasure that I recommend Mr. Kiran Nayak of Architecture + Research Laboratory. Since my first encounter with Mr. Nayak, many months ago, I have been increasingly impressed with his command of architecture and human nature, his professional dealings with both clients and peers and his zeal for perfection and innovation.
Without exception, Kiran has exhibited the highest ethics and a passion to fully assimilate the clients needs and wishes and to give solid form to the abstract with both ingenuity and solid engineering fundamentals. I often deal with architects who design that which lacks vision, is not viably sustainable or is off-target.
Mr. Nayak's genius hits the 'sweet spot' of creative design and ergonomic function with a natural talent for communication and understanding with humility and compassion.
As a Designer of thousands of dental facilities in the USA, the Caribbean and India, I consider it a personal privilege to work with someone like Mr. Kiran Nayak who can 'push the envelope' for innovative design and yet keeps a firm hand on the myriad details necessary to complete a project on budget while making clients' dreams come true.
I have worked with Kiran in the recent past on two big projects. The interaction was very pleasant and Kiran's adaptability to clients requirements is commendable. He respects the views of his clients and is very patient. His creativity is a great value add.
A thorough professional, he brings in lot of discipline as far as timelines, attention to details etc. are concerned. It was a treat to work with him.
Look forward to associate with Kiran in our future projects.
Ex - Alvogen Pharma India P. Ltd.
ARL run by Mr Kiran Nayak were retained by us as Architects for planning and designing of our Centre - Trea Healthcare and Diagnostics, Bangalore. We had taken up the Ground Floor and Basement of an existing 4 storied building.
We are delighted with how beautifully the Centre has come about. The overall theme, the colors chosen, the layout plan all make-up for what we believe is an excellently planned project. ARL had to work within the framework of limited space as well as mandatory specifications on space that are required by law for housing the X-Ray, Mammogram and Ultra-sound rooms. It was a fine balance.
We would recommend their services to anyone planning on state of the art premises.

Today's Daily Critical Issues report summarizes PERF's activities in 2020, and our plans for 2021.
In many ways, 2020 was a year that no one will ever forget. In February, COVID-19 began to change the very fundamentals of how police agencies operate. And in May, the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis triggered a national upheaval and calls for police reform that have continued to this day.
Because of COVID, police agencies across the country changed overnight in many ways. PERF tried to do the same, with major changes in how PERF does its business. Following are brief summaries of some of PERF's activities in 2020:
Daily Reports: As COVID-19 began hammering American cities and police departments in March 2020, PERF realized that we needed a new way to gather information and share it immediately with PERF members. So we started the Daily COVID-19 Reports.
For each of these reports, PERF interviews several police chiefs, sheriffs, or other experts about some specific aspect of the COVID story. In other cases, the Daily Reports are based on surveys that PERF members respond to. We write up what you tell us, and email a Daily Report with our findings to all PERF members the next day at 7 a.m.
Later, when American cities began erupting in May with George Floyd demonstrations, protests, calls for police reform, and in some cases riots, we created a new category of these daily reports, called Daily Critical Issues Reports, to address a range of other issues. Many of our Daily Reports broke new ground on issues such as violent crime trends, budget impacts of COVID-19, hiring challenges, and members' priorities for the incoming Biden Administration.
With generous support from the Motorola Solutions Foundation and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, we've issued about 200 of these reports so far, and plan to continue these daily reports for as long as they are relevant to our members. Back issues of all COVID Reports and Critical Issues Reports are available on PERF's website.
PERF Trending: In February we launched "PERF Trending," a Saturday morning column in which Executive Director Chuck Wexler discusses things that are happening at PERF, or perspectives we have heard from PERF members. Back issues of Trending are on PERF's website here. Here are a few that generated a strong response:
December 26th: Online Meetings: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
November 28: Police Reform and Good Police Work Cannot Be Mutually Exclusive
October 17: Let's Talk About the Costs of Not Fighting Crime
September 26: Who Wants to Apply for a Chief's Job When Some Chiefs Are Treated So Badly?
September 19: Police Executives Need to Monday-Morning Quarterback Themselves Too
August 1: COVID Has Demonstrated that Police Are Problem-Solvers
July 11: The Good Cop
June 13: How Do We Respond to "Defund the Police"?
May 30: The Death of George Floyd, and Its Searing Effect on Policing
SMIP: Because of COVID, PERF had to cancel the 2020 sessions of the Senior Management Institute for Police (SMIP). We considered creating an online version of SMIP, but it would have been an imperfect solution, because much of the value of SMIP is the in-person classroom exchanges, and the friendships that are made by participants from across the country. We conducted a survey of those who had registered for SMIP 2020, and the registrants overwhelmingly told us they would prefer to wait until 2021, rather than attend a virtual SMIP.
PERF is looking forward to holding SMIP 2021 in Boston next summer. The availability of COVID vaccines makes our return to Boston look very good, and we will do all we can to make this happen.
PERF's longtime SMIP coordinator Tony Narr retired in 2020, and is enjoying his well-deserved "Chapter 2." PERF Senior Research Associate Matt Harman took the reins from Tony and is managing the planning for SMIP 2021. Matt will be assisted by Senior Principal Dan Alioto.
PERF's Annual Events: Because of the health risks of holding meetings during the pandemic, PERF had no choice but to cancel our 2020 Annual Meeting. However, we held two virtual Town Hall Meetings, each 2 hours long, on June 18 and June 30. And our fall Town Hall Meeting was held online on October 20. While nothing can replace the energy and spontaneity of in-person meetings, these virtual events allowed us to explore a range of timely issues from the perspectives of many PERF members.
PERF hopes to be able to hold our 2021 Annual Meeting in person, in conjunction with the Major Cities Chiefs Association. Plans are begin made to meet at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco on June 1-4, 2021.
Other PERF Research Reports: In addition to our Daily Reports, PERF has kept pace with regular reports on key issues in policing, including the following. Click on each title to see the full report:

ICAT Training: PERF was able to conduct a number of ICAT training sessions across the country before COVID put in-person trainings on hold. Watch for a major announcement about a national expansion of ICAT training opportunities in 2021.
Sheriffs Outreach: PERF continued to examine the challenges facing sheriffs' offices in both their enforcement and correctional roles, with a special focus on their response to COVID-19. PERF also published a report documenting best practices in pretrial release and community-based supervision.
Management Services: PERF conducted many reviews of individual law enforcement agencies in 2020, on issues such as pursuit policies, performance of sex crimes units, advancing diversity in recruiting and hiring, use-of-force policies and practices, and comprehensive organizational reviews.
Membership: The pandemic has not slowed down PERF's membership. Over the past decade, PERF membership has climbed every year, without exception.
Executive Search: In 2020, PERF's Executive Search team helped the City of Philadelphia to identify a new police commissioner with the hiring of Danielle Outlaw, and the City of Madison, WI to identify a new police chief with the hiring of Shon Barnes. PERF has also been assisting Louisville, KY in their search for a new chief of police.
Everything PERF does is based on the active involvement of PERF members.
We are grateful for all of the assistance you provide, and wish you a safe and productive new year.
The PERF Critical Issues Report is part of the Critical Issues in Policing project, supported by the Motorola Solutions Foundation.
PERF also is grateful to the Howard G. Buffett Foundation for supporting this work.

Irish famine movie and James Joyce documentary project to be shown in the US
Dermot McEvoy
Black 47 Director Lance Daly and leading actor James Frecheville. Getty
The Irish film industry has a friend in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and her name is Diane Raver. She is the founder of the Garden State Film Festival (GSFF).
Every spring she brings to the Jersey Shore films from all over the world and has a special affection for ones from the Emerald Isle. Raver tells IrishCentral that the GSFF got its start in 2002 after she had a chance encounter in a Sea Girt grocery store with the late actor Robert Pastorelli.
"It occurred to me," she says, "that there was no annual celebration of the legacy New Jersey plays in the film industry. It was born in Thomas Edison's lab in Menlo Park, was enhanced by the 49 film studios in Fort Lee at the turn of the century and continues each year with the hundreds of films shot each year in the Garden State."
Her love of her home state also was a factor in the creation of the GSFF. "Our beloved seacoast town Asbury Park had fallen into urban decay," Raver says. "It was my cultural Mecca as a child and there was talk of knocking down the historic Paramount Theater—a 1600 seat movie palace. Not while there is a breath left in my body!"
Raver's enthusiasm for the film industry is infectious and was influenced by her background in the TV commercial production business. She was also the first woman president in a TV commercial production house in New York City in the early 1980s.

Diane Raver.
Two unique Irish films
In the past, Raver has traveled to the Cork Film Festival and scouted films around Dublin. "Ireland has an incredibly vibrant film community," Raver maintains. "The Irish Film Board is one of the most active film boards in the world. Their support and appreciation for the vocations they encourage and the economic vitality it generates each year is incredible."
In the past, Raver has presented such award-winning shorts such as "Bye Bye Now" (about the demise of the Irish Telephone boxes in the countryside), "Volkswagen Joe," "Handsome Devil" and many more.
Topping Raver's list this year is the critically acclaimed "Black '47," and a short documentary, "Portrait of the Millner As Yer Man Himself."
"Both were chosen," says Raver, "from among the thousands of entries we receive each year. Our call for entries opens every year on June 1 and closes on December 1. This year we will present 247 films from 22 countries over five days in 10 venues."
"Black '47" is set in Ireland during the Great Famine. The drama follows an Irish Ranger who has been fighting for the British Army abroad, as he abandons his post to reunite with his family. Despite experiencing the horrors of war, he is shocked by the famine's destruction of his homeland and the brutalization of his people and his family.
The film was shot on location in Wicklow, Kildare and Connemara. It stars Hugo Weaving, James Frecheville, Stephen Rea and Freddie Fox. In 2018 it grossed over $1.13 million (€1 million) in Ireland, collecting an astounding $502,000 (€444,000) its first weekend, breaking the record that "Brooklyn" set in 2015.
Black '47: Premiering on Saturday, March 30, 6:15 pm, Paramount Theater Asbury Park
See the trailer here:
"Portrait of the Milliner as Yer Man Himself" is a documentary making its American premiere at the GSFF. It is about a renowned Irish hat-maker who demonstrates his skills in a Dickens-era workshop and later emerges onto the streets of Dublin as the living spirit of James Joyce.
"John Shevlin is one of Ireland's finest milliners," says producer/director Godfrey Jordan, "a hat-maker who uses flame-powered machines built in the 1800s. He is also the official lookalike for 'yer man himself' at the James Joyce Centre, Dublin. His Joyce persona gets national press coverage every June 16 —Bloomsday—named after Leopold Bloom, the main character in Joyce's renowned novel 'Ulysses.'"
Portrait of a Milliner: Premiering on Sunday, March 31, 4:00 pm, House of Independents, Asbury Park
(trailer) - Portrait of the Milliner as yer man himself from Godfrey Jordan on Vimeo.
Portrait of the Milliner is one of a series of films in the James Joyce Documentary Project which Godfrey Jordan initiated and premiered in Dublin last year during the Bloomsday Fringe Festival. The project is intended to provide a platform for filmmakers, graphic artists, writers, poets and performance artists to exhibit their work exploring the life, times and influences of one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. And to demonstrate that Joyce's underlying influence continues to this day.
GSFF is a New Jersey Non-Profit organization. The festival takes place this year from March 27-31. A weekend pass is $50 if purchased online and includes absolutely everything including the Special Sopranos Documentary, Panel with Sopranos Stars & Book Signing Screening Wednesday Night March 27—Meet The Filmmakers Event Thursday night where the trailers of the upcoming films are screened, Friday Night Gala Cocktail party with red carpet, and screening of "The Bird Catcher" as well as the rest of the weekend's screenings, panels and parties.

Q: Jagged appearance of lines in 3D plot I wanted to know if there's a simple way to plot some field lines of a 3D vector field, something like an extension of StreamPlot. I've searched for a while, but haven't found anything "standard".
So I tried, in the meanwhile to use a more artificial way to get to the result I was seeking for, namely, plotting separately every field line:
ParametricPlot3D[
 {
  {u, E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, -E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, 2 E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, -2 E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, 0, -2 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0, 2 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0, E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0, -E^(u/8)}
  , {u, E^(u/8), E^(u/8)}
  , {u, -E^(u/8), -E^(u/8)}
  , {u, E^(u/8), -E^(u/8)}
  , {u, -E^(u/8), E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0.5 E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, -0.5 E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, 1.5 E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, -1.5 E^(u/8), 0}
  , {u, 0, -1.5 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0, 1.5 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0, 0.5 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0, -0.5 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0.5 E^(u/8), 0.5 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, -0.5 E^(u/8), -0.5 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, 0.5 E^(u/8), -0.5 E^(u/8)}
  , {u, -0.5 E^(u/8), 0.5 E^(u/8)}
  }
 , {u, 0, 15}
 , PlotRange -> {{0, 15}, {-3, 3}, {-3, 3}}
 , PlotStyle -> {Thickness[.003]}
 , Boxed -> False
 , Axes -> False
 , RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, y^2 + z^2 <= 9]
 ]

Now I have another problem. Here is what I obtain from the code above:

Is there a way to make those lines look smoother?

Approaches to Ancient Greek Mythology in Contemporary Serbian Music: Ideological Contexts
bitstream_15085.pdf (8.176Mb)
Milin, Melita
Levidou, Katerina
Vlastos, George
In contemporary Serbian music the opuses of two composers, Vlastimir Trajković (1947) and Aleksandra-Anja Đorđević (1970), stand out as marked by their interest in themes from ancient Greek mythology. It is quite possible that Trajković, as Đorđević's professor of composition at the Belgrade Faculty of Music, instilled his great admiration for ancient Greek culture into the mind of his talented student. This paper will be focused on the different approaches to those themes in the works of those two composers, which could be seen as resulting not only from their different artistic personalities, but also from their different age and the changes music has undergone in the recent times. Among the most important achievements of Trajković could be counted two works without vocal parts: Arion, le nuove musiche (Arion, The New Music), Op. 8, for guitar and strings (1979), and Le Retour des Zéphyres… ou 'Zefiro torna…': Trois tableaux vivants de scènes mythologiques (Zephyrus Returns… or 'Zefi...ro torna…': Three Live Images of Mythological Scenes), for flute, viola and piano (2003). They clearly demonstrate the composer's strong inclination to the cultural heritage of ancient Greece as a whole, which he regards as an everlasting inspiration for renewal in the arts and music. It is important to add that Trajković feels that in modern music this valuable heritage has been interpreted in most imaginative ways in the works of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, to whom the second and third movement of Zephyrus Returns are dedicated. As expected, his own music has marked neo-impressionistic traits. On the other hand, Anja Đorđević regards ancient Greek mythology as a rich well for universalising her critical views on the relations among individuals in the (post)modern society. In her chamber opera Narcissus and Echo (2002) and stage cantata Atlas (2008), both composed on original libretti, she deals with the issues of narcissism, fate, rebellion and freedom. Especially in the opera, she displays a postmodernist sensibility, a high sense of irony and parody, and leans heavily on pop music.

A young buck became tangled in a rope tethered to a picnic table, and was rescued by Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA's Wildlife Care Center.
Without intervention by the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA's Wildlife Care Center, a young buck tangled in a rope likely would have died.
Rescuers trying to free a buck from a rope tangled around his antlers, had to give the animal a mild sedative. The buck was freed and suffered no injuries.
After being released from its tangled tether, the young buck drank from a nearby stream and returned to the remote wooded area near a Menlo Park home.

A young buck, tangled in a rope that tethered him to a tree and picnic table in a remote area near a Menlo Park home, was rescued and safely released back into the wood.
A Wildlife Care Center team from the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA staged the rescue after receiving a call from the property owners. The rope had become tangled around the buck's antlers, and rescuers say without their intervention, the animal would have died from lack of food and water.
"We received a call from a resident of the property who saw the deer and called us for assistance," Buffy Martin Tarbox, the organization's communications manager, said. "The resident hadn't been in that section of the large property since before Labor Day, so it's possible the buck had been trapped in the rope and unable to free himself for a number of days."
The buck was so ensnared in the rope that he had only limited movement, and rescuers needed to tranquilize the animal for his own safety.
The buck was given a low dose of tranquilizer, Tarbox said, delivered from a blowpipe. Once sedated, the team worked quickly to cut the rope away from his antlers and check the animal for injuries.
"Despite his ordeal, the buck had no injuries," Tarbox said, "and after about 15 minutes he woke from the tranquilizer and was able to walk to a nearby creek where he drank water."
The resident continued to monitor the deer and reported that he was walking fine and had moved away from the area.

Animals, especially wildlife, can easily become entangled in rope, wire, string and fishing line, all of which can cause life-threatening injuries and even death. PHS/SPCA is asking that people ensure proper storage and cleanup of debris that can cause harm to wildlife.
Those aren't the only things that wildlife can get trapped by. Soccer nets left out overnight cause a number of injuries and incidents, as do fake cobweb Halloween decorations, which should be limited to indoor use only.
PHS/SPCA's Wildlife Care Center successfully rehabilitates 1,200 to 1,400 animals each year and is entirely funded by private donations.

Regia di: John Kent Harrison
Musiche di: Nicola Piovani
Hallmark Hall of Fame has created a made for television movie based on 'Love and War in the Apennines'. It tells the true story about a relationship that develops during WWII between a British soldier caught behind enemy lines and a courageous Italian woman who risks her own life to save his. Eric Newby is a POW on the run in Italy in 1943. Mussolini's brownshirts have been relatively lax, but far more menacing German troops are moving in from the North. Wanda, a young Italian woman, offers to secretly teach Newby Italian so that he can attempt to hide his identity from Nazi occupiers. Newby is grateful for her help, and falls in love with her. With the Germans giving chase, Wanda, her father, and several local farmers and villagers selflessly and bravely help Newby flee to the mountains. Eventually, though, Newby surrenders and is taken to prison once more. His greatest fear is that he will never see Wanda again. Filmed in the beautiful Italian countryside, 'In Love and War' stars British actor Callum Blue and Czech actress Barbora Bobulova, who both turn in powerful performances as Eric and Wanda Newby. The Newby's, now in their 80's, journeyed from their home in England to witness the filming of this exciting chapter in their dramatic life story.

Equality and Dissection
Around the Globe, and Here at Home: Pence Calls Out US Lawmakers at Religious Freedom Summit
Posted: Aug 01, 2015 12:01 AM
This summer, many people, including friends of mine, adopted the rainbow symbol and the message of human equality after the U.S. Supreme Court took it upon itself to redefine marriage.
Actual leaders of "gay rights" organizations universally explain, in open partnership with Planned Parenthood, that their concept of equality likewise promotes "reproductive health," which itself includes abortion.
Thus, leading advocates to redefine marriage cite human "equality," but believe it can coexist with their own diktat that only certain human beings are "equal," while others can be torn apart.
To rainbow equality leaders, defining some humans as abortable is an obvious and even necessary consequence of being able to redefine what man, woman, and marriage mean in order to maximize sexual expression.
In the same public statements, these leaders insist it is "equally true" that people who refuse to help abortions should be punished just the same as people who refuse to help same-sex weddings. Any refusal to help the activities they have defined as fundamental to sexual license, including abortion, constitutes "discrimination."
Recently, America has learned in a new and graphic way that the abortion industry doesn't just kill babies, it vivisects them. The same abortion advocates who partner with groups to redefine marriage, including Planned Parenthood, have now united to defend baby organ harvesting as an essential reproductive health option.
This produces a syllogism of human redefinition. Equality means redefining man, woman, and marriage, which includes reproductive health, which includes abortion, and baby vivisection. All such "equality" requires "non-discrimination," which means citizen bystanders must help all things called marriage and reproductive health, including abortion and vivisection, or else be punished.
The same "equality" principle that makes a Christian wedding photographer destitute likewise requires doctors, women, and churches to participate in the abortion medical regime, which encompasses baby vivisection.
Some polls indicate that more Americans are pro-life than would define marriage as one man and one woman (although both numbers seem to have gone up recently). Thus it is important that citizens embracing the message of equality out of a sense of compassion ask themselves: why do all of the leaders who sent you that rainbow banner believe you are wrong if you think babies are equal, too?
When you share a link supporting the punishment of Christian florists and bakers, do you also share the view of "gay rights" leaders that citizens must help abortions, too, and apparently baby harvesting right along with it?
Is it possible there is a deep redefinition of humanity embedded in the "gay rights" brand of equality, which causes their leaders to champion abortion and coerce people who oppose it, but they didn't tell you about that premise up front?
We've also learned recently that citizens who fly a flag need to think about the principles it represents. Many people believe the Confederate flag does not just stand for Southern culture—that it is inextricably intertwined with slavery. If so, what does it mean to fly the rainbow equality flag, when all the leaders who hand it out fervently believe "equality" means they get to define which humans are "equal" and which can be sacrificed and harvested? There's a pot of gold at the end of the equality rainbow, but you'll find it in Planned Parenthood's Swiss bank account, full of tax dollars.
People acting in good faith need to examine the assumptions behind what they endorse. If not, they risk finding themselves partnering with Planned Parenthood and all their abortions and vivisections, just like the rainbow equality leaders are doing.
Which humans will be declassified, coerced, and harvested next, somewhere under the rainbow?

Miguel Civil (Miquel Civil i Desveus; May 7, 1926 – January 13, 2019) was an American Assyriologist and expert on Sumer and Ancient Mesopotamian studies at the University of Chicago Oriental Institute.  According to his colleague, Christopher Woods, at the time of his death, Civil knew the Sumerian language better than anyone since it was last spoken 4000 years ago.

Early life
Civil was born in 1926 in Sabadell, Barcelona, Spain. He studied Sumerology in Paris and was associate researcher at the University of Pennsylvania from 1958 to 1963. From 1964 until 2001, he was Professor of Sumerology at the Oriental Institute in the University of Chicago. He was also associate director of studies of the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris, epigraphist of the Nippur Expedition to Iraq, a member of the editorial board of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary, and main editor of the series Materials for the Sumerian Lexicon (in which he published several volumes). He is widely considered the world expert in the use of the cuneiform script to write down the Sumerian language (i.e., the writing interface of Sumerian); Rykle Borger called him der beste Kenner der sumerischen Schrift (the best expert in Sumerian writing).

He devoted his scholarship to achieve a better understanding of the Sumerian language and its textual corpus, publishing extensively on Sumerian literary and lexical texts, as well as many contributions that illuminate diverse aspects of the Sumerian writing system, language, literature, and culture, from phonology to agriculture. Civil also published several contributions on the texts from Ebla. His main monographs include: The Farmer's Instructions: A Sumerian Agricultural Manual (Sabadell, 1994); The Early Dynastic Practical Vocabulary A (Archaic HAR-ra A) (Rome, 2008); and The Lexical texts in the Schøyen Collection (Bethesda, Md., 2010).

/ Mental maths, why is it important for children?
Every child can train their brain for mathematical calculations.
There is a specific part of the brain that performs mental maths but if it is not developed properly at an early age, it can become a challenging task.
For this reason, it is important to develop the ability to do mental maths in children while they are still young.
The best age considered for this is between 5 to 10 years.
This will develop their ability to perform basic arithmetic rules at speed without using pencil or paper.
• Enhances children's ability to concentrate.
• It stimulates children's interest in maths.
• Improves the self-confidence of the child.
• Helps with the application skills in maths.
• Helps to reduce mistakes in problem-solving.
• Strongly associated with better memory skills.
• It stimulates both sides of the brain.
This means that students will be able to perform each calculation in their head with ease.
Number sense is essential to achieve the goal and allows a person to incorporate estimation, place value and measurement.
This will further result in increasing the ability of children to memorise the facts of maths with ease.
Practising all the calculation is the first step and developing speed for doing it, again and again, is the second step.
Children will be able to understand the mathematical concepts instead of just reading them.
Maths is logical and it should be solved with logical steps.
These logical steps can be learnt and practised and are especially relevant with mental maths.
If children have a better understanding of the mental maths concepts, they are more likely to approach maths with a positive outlook.
It must be noted here that when it comes to mental maths, the duration of exercises does not matter a lot. Instead, the frequency is what matters so doing them on a daily basis is essential.
At StudyBox, we believe that mental maths is the key to confidence. Click here for a Free Trial today.

Q: (The) existence of a solution, (the) uniqueness of the solution I want to write a sentence like
We consider the equation f(x)=0. We show (the) existence of (a) solution and (the) uniqueness of (the) solution.
I want to know if the above sentence uses correctly "the" and "a". In particular, I don't know if I should put "the" in front of "existence" or "uniqueness".
I know that "the" is specific and "a" is general. But I cannot decide from this which or no article is good for the above sentence.

A: The articles are determiners. In your sentence, a determiner is necessary before each of the nouns. This is because each of them is singular and countable, and none of them is a proper noun. This includes even uniqueness, although it would require significant and complicated context to support its countability.
Although your question does not ask about the correctness of the sentence itself, it is incomplete, because the conjunction that introduces a clause without a predicate. If you delete that, the sentence is correct:

We show the existence of a solution and the uniqueness of the solution.

Questions regarding articles in English are among the most frequently asked here at ELL, and there are many interesting discussions of the topic elsewhere. You may wish to follow this link for further reading.

A:
We show (the) existence of (a) solution and (the) uniqueness of (the) solution.

the existence - the because there are only two options, existence or nonexistence. So it is definite.
a solution - I presume there are many "solutions".
the uniqueness - "unique" by definition is singular, so it is definite too.
the solution - Your solution (I assume there was only one).
