The Painted Veil Chapter 70
At first because she had not wept when Walter died she was ashamed. It seemed dreadfully callous. Why, the eyes of the Chinese officer, Colonel Yü, had been wet with tears. She was dazed by her husband's death. It was difficult to understand that he would not come into the bungalow again and that when he got up in the morning she would not hear him take his bath in the Suchow tub. He was alive and now he was dead. The sisters wondered at her Christian resignation and admired the courage with which she bore her loss. But Waddington was shrewd; for all his grave sympathy she had a feeling that – how should she put it? – that he had his tongue in his cheek. Of course, Walter's death had been a shock to her. She didn't want him to die. But after all she didn't love him, she had never loved him; it was decent to bear herself with becoming sorrow; it would be ugly and vulgar even to let any one see in her heart; but she had gone through too much to make pretences to herself. It seemed to her that this at least the last few weeks had taught her, that if it is necessary sometimes to lie to others it is always despicable to lie to oneself. She was sorry that Walter had died in that tragic manner, but she was sorry with a purely human sorrow such as she might have felt if it had been an acquaintance. She would acknowledge that Walter had admirable qualities; it just happened that she did not like him; he had always bored her. She would not admit that his death was a relief to her, she could say honestly that if by a word of hers she could bring him back to life she would say it, but she could not resist the feeling that his death made her way to some extent a trifle easier. They would never have been happy together and yet to part would have been terribly difficult. She was startled at herself for feeling as she did; she supposed that people would think her heartless and cruel if they knew. Well, they shouldn't know. She wondered if all her fellows had in their hearts shameful secrets which they spent their time guarding from curious glances.
She looked very little into the future and she made no plans. The only thing she knew was that she wanted to stay in Hong-Kong as short a while as might be. She looked forward to arriving there with horror. It seemed to her that she would like to wander for ever through that smiling and friendly country in her rattan chair, and, an indifferent spectator for ever of the phantasmagoria of life, pass each night under a different roof. But of course the immediate future must be faced: she would go to the hotel when she reached Hong-Kong, she would arrange about getting rid of the house and selling the furniture; there would be no need to see Townsend. He would have the grace to keep out of her way. She would like, all the same, to see him once more in order to tell him what a despicable creature she thought him.
But what did Charles Townsend matter?
Like a rich melody on a harp that rang in exultant arpeggios through the complicated harmonies of a symphony, one thought beat in her heart insistently. It was this thought which gave their exotic beauty to the rice-fields, which made a little smile break on her pale lips as a smooth-faced lad swung past her on his way to the market town with exultation in his carriage and audacity in his eyes, and which gave the magic of a tumultuous life to the cities she passed through. The city of the pestilence was a prison from which she was escaped, and she had never known before how exquisite was the blueness of the sky and what a joy there was in the bamboo copses that leaned with such an adorable grace across the causeway. Freedom! That was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. Freedom! Not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit; and with freedom, courage and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.

Biden administration appoints six policy experts to lead CHIPS Act implementation

The Biden administration has named six policy leaders within the White House and Department of Commerce who will lead the implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act.
Ronnie Chatterji will serve as White House Coordinator for CHIPS implementation at the National Economic Council, in which role he will work closely with the National Security Council, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Department of Commerce and the Steering Council.
At the Department of Commerce, Michael Schmidt will join the agency as director of the CHIPS program office. Eric Lin takes up the role of interim director of the CHIPS research and development office, while Todd Fisher joins the CHIPS program office at Commerce as interim senior adviser.
Donna Dubinsky has also been named as senior counselor to the secretary for CHIPS Implementation and J.D. Grom serves as senior adviser to the secretary on CHIPS implementation. Dubinsky and Grom both work in the Office of the Commerce Secretary.
The new appointments come after President Biden earlier this week signed an executive order to implement the semiconductor funding included in the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.
That executive order included a range of measures including the creation of an interagency CHIPS Implementation Steering Council and the setting out of six primary priorities to guide implementation across the federal government.
The CHIPS Act, which was signed into law last month, provides about $52.7 billion to drive semiconductor research, development, manufacturing and workforce development across the U.S. Of that total, $39 billion is included for manufacturing incentives and $13.2 billion is included for R&D and workforce development.
The Department of Commerce has also launched CHIPS.gov, which is intended to provide a central repository of resources for companies seeking to access funding.
Commenting on the appointments, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said: "After outlining a thoughtful and comprehensive strategy for CHIPS for America, we are wasting no time building an office with experts and leaders who will efficiently execute this work."
"These leaders bring decades of experience in government, industry and the R&D space, with a special emphasis on standing up and implementing large-scale programs," she added. "Their work will be essential to bolstering our supply chains, spurring historic investments in research, strengthening our national security, and creating good-paying jobs for the American people."

The Guaicamacuto-class patrol boats (Avante 1400) is a class of offshore patrol vessels or BVL () in Venezuelan Navy service for patrol duty in economic exclusive zone. A contract for four BVLs and four POVZEE was signed together on 25 November 2005. Since 2014 the Spanish Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office has been investigating the €42m "commission" paid to some of those involved.

The final vessel of the class was to have been named after Tamanaco, a 16th-century tribal leader, but in 2013 GC-24 was renamed Comandante eterno Hugo Chávez after the death of the then president. GC-24 was laid down in 2008 under the supervision of Navantia at the Venezuelan National Dams and Shipyards (DIANCA) in Puerto Cabello, was launched in 2014 and began sea trials in April 2018, but Navantia pulled out of Venezuela in January 2019 before trials were complete.

USM professor collects instruments for flooded schools
Ellen Ciurczak
American Staff Writer
Dana Morgan got almost 5 feet of water in her Baton Rouge home during flooding last month in southeast Louisiana. Before her family fled the rising waters, Morgan put her 12-year-old daughter's two cellos on the bed, hoping they would stay high and dry.
"While we were out of the home that was all she could think and talk about," Morgan said. "When we got back in, she ran first to her room, but they were gone. It's hurting her now that auditions and lessons are going on, and she won't be able to participate."
Help could be on the way from a University of Southern Mississippi assistant professor in music education. Amanda Schlegel has started a drive to assist Louisiana middle and high school students who lost their instruments in the flooding.
"There are a number of schools in southeastern Louisiana that have been ravaged by flooding," Schlegel said. "They have lost instruments, chairs, stands, music. I will take anything that will help get music back into the lives of kids."
More than 60,000 homes in southeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi were damaged or destroyed by flooding in mid-August. Thirteen people died.
Morgan said her family does not have the money to purchase a new cello for her daughter.
"We lost everything," she said. "We're just trying to get the bare essentials right now. If anybody at all would donate a cello — keep us in mind."
Schlegel went to college at Louisiana State University, so she felt ties to the area. She recently took some Southern Miss music education graduates to Denham Springs High School where alumnus Andrew Hunter is a high school band director. The crew worked to salvage and clean water-damaged instruments there. Chairs, music stands and electronic instruments were lost.
"Playing the clarinet doesn't fall in the hierarchy of needs," Hunter said. "But the students who are in band — it's a culture. They come to school early. They leave school late. They practice at home. They feel a part of a community.
"(Schlegel's) efforts are critical in helping our community, not just to repair, but to heal. When we get on the field for marching band, that's the only thing that makes students feel normal."
Schlegel spent last week in Hattiesburg, making the rounds and collecting donated instruments. She plans to return to Louisiana every weekend until her efforts are no longer needed.
"We're going to do whatever we can," she said. "I feel for those high school seniors who are looking forward to their senior year and there's the possibility of no marching season, no Christmas concert."
Cullen McBride, a French horn player who graduated from Southern Miss in May, helped repair the instruments.
"Band was huge when I was in high school," he said. "My instrument was an extension of my own personality.
"When it gets hurt, you feel that. Cleaning instruments — hopefully, that's going to make (the students) feel their world is not completely awful."
Schlegel said she has about 30-40 donated instruments crowded into her office now, but many more are needed.
"I'm going to put them in my office until I have so many I just can't handle it," she said. "That's a problem I'm willing to tackle."
Morgan said her daughter would be overjoyed if she could practice cello again.
"She would be completely ecstatic," she said. "This is really her passion."
Schlegel said she hopes to bring as many instruments as possible with her when she heads back to Louisiana.
"We're just trying to help these people have a little joy in their lives," she said. "To have students making music again — I'm committed to having that happen."

I tried disabling the antivirus and the net connection which i am using is quite stable only, but still I am getting the error so is there any way I can fix it?

A: Maybe you open too many connections.
add htmlfile.close() after htmltext= htmlfile.read().

I would put Campbell over Cooper.
Campbell usually always beats Cooper.
Campbell loses a TON more than Cooper, and the last 4 years they are 2-2. I know I am partial to Cooper and if that is your opinion I respect that, but you have to have another reason than that.
Right... Because that's how high school football works.
Agreed although the top two are a coin flip to me. I give the edge to SK since I've seen their QB but not Ryle's. I don't think Cooper is far behind those two as someone said they had almost everyone coming back.
Who forced what decision on Cooper?
Are you really saying the KHSAA forced this on Cooper!?!?!?
I don't think he's saying it was the KHSAA.
I don't think so either but I offered that excuse up just in case.
I know you haven't had time to reply yet KingofClutch33 but to be clear who did you hear forced the decision on Cooper to move up to 6A?
Seen several posts about all the skill players for SK and Ryle. Where do they stand with line players. As someone posted earlier, maybe in another thread, I saw where Cooper returns nearly their entire line including an injured starter from last year but haven't heard much about the other two "Top" contenders line members. Just curious.
SK will have a good line 3 Seniors and 2 Sophomores.

Short Film Festival Gives Thanks for Stephen King's "Dollar Baby" Initiative
By Jim Vorel | April 15, 2021 | 11:02am
Photo by Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Movies News stephen king
As far as unfathomably wealthy moguls of American fiction go, Stephen King has always seemed like a pretty nice guy. Although his fiction routinely involves the grisly loss of life and limb, as an author King has frequently contributed to charitable causes, and often acknowledges how much his works have shaped the cultural conversation, especially in the form of film adaptations. Many have become cinema classics, from It, to The Green Mile, to The Shawshank Redemption or Misery. But that's really only scratching the surface of King's sprawling bibliography, which now includes more than 60 novels and 200 short stories. And with so many properties out there for adaptation, King has long desired to get some into the hands of less experienced filmmakers—the kind without millions of dollars at their disposal.
Thus, King created his "Dollar Babies" initiative, a section of the author's website that lists short story properties that are available to officially license for merely $1. This allows prospective filmmakers to contact King's people about making low-budget adaptations of known properties, potentially gaining them more exposure in the process. King gets to see his works be adapted by up-and-coming filmmakers, the filmmakers get to make their movie on the cheap, and it's generally a benefit to everyone.
Films produced under the Dollar Baby initiative are typically restricted only to screening at in-person festivals, but a rare chance is coming soon to see 25 of them at the same time: The Stephen King Rules Dollar Baby Film Festival. A virtual festival event from Canada's Barker Street Cinema, the festival runs from April 23-25, is free to join, and will stream 25 adaptations of King short stories acquired via the Dollar Baby initiative, from "Popsy" and "Gray Matter" to "The Boogeyman" or "Everything's Eventual." You can view the full schedule right here.
Barker Street Cinema founders James Douglas and Norm Coyne are quite familiar with the Dollar Baby program, being filmmakers themselves who used the program to produce a short film of Stephen King's short story "The Doctor's Case," which is also screening at the festival. The film version of "The Doctor's Case" has since gone on to win more than 15 awards at more than 40 international film festivals, and the filmmakers acknowledge that being able to adapt a well-known story from the likes of Stephen King has a way of opening some doors.
"I can personally attest to the impact the Dollar Baby initiative has had on my career as a filmmaker," Douglas said in a statement on the festival site. "Being able to share these stories with the world in this manner is unbelievably profound."
"As storytellers, we were looking for ways to do our part to help provide an escape for people that wouldn't cost them anything," said Coyne. "The fact that James got the approval for an entire festival of stories from Stephen King himself is a total mind bender."
The Stephen King Rules Dollar Baby Film Festival can be viewed online, April 23-25.

"Science today is about getting some results, framing those results in an attention-grabbing media release and basking in the glory."
Canberra Times, 5 October 2011
On October 4, 2011 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three astrophysicists for "THE ACCELERATING UNIVERSE."
Prof. Saul Perlmutter of the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded half the 10m Swedish krona (US$1,456,000 or £940,000) prize, with Prof. Brian Schmidt of the Australian National University and Prof. Riess of Johns Hopkins University's Space Telescope Science Institute sharing the other half.
The notion of an accelerating expansion of the universe is based on observation of supernovae at high redshift, known as The High-Z Super Nova Search.
The Mystery of Dark Energy

However, accelerating expansion requires a mysterious source of energy in space acting against gravity, dubbed "dark energy."
Calculations show that the energy required is equivalent to 73% of the total mass-energy of the universe! Historians will look back at science today with disbelief and amusement at the 'science' of today.
Following equally mysterious 'black holes' and 'dark matter,' if we continue to discover darkness at the present rate we shall soon know nothing!
"The present boastfulness of the expounders and the gullibility of the listeners alike violate that critical spirit which is supposedly the hallmark of science."
Jacques Barzun
Science: the glorious entertainment
I attended a public lecture recently on "Cosmological Confusion… revealing the common misconceptions about the big bang, the expansion of the universe and cosmic horizons," presented at the Australian National University by an award winning Australian astrophysicist, Dr. Tamara Davis.
Tamara Davis
The particular interests of Dr. Davis are the mysteries posed by 'dark matter' and 'dark energy,' hence the title of this piece.
The theatre was packed and the speaker animated like an excited schoolchild who has done her homework and is proud to show the class.
Her first question to the packed hall was,
"How many in the audience have done some physics?"
It seemed the majority had.
So it was depressing to listen to the questions throughout the performance and recognize that the noted cultural historian Jacques Barzun was right.
Also, Halton Arp's appraisal of the effect of modern education seemed fitting,
"If you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality."
Carl Linnaeus in 1758 showed characteristic academic hubris and anthropocentrism when he named our species Homo sapiens sapiens ("Sapiens" is Latin for "wise man" or " knowing man").
But it is questionable, as a recent (18th August) correspondent to Nature wrote, whether we,
"merit a single 'sapiens,' let alone the two we now bear."
To begin, big bang cosmology dismisses the physics principle of no creation from nothing. It then proceeds with the falsehood that Hubble discovered the expansion of the universe. He didn't, he found the apparent redshift/distance relationship (actually a redshift/luminosity relationship), which to his death he did not feel was due to an expanding universe.
This misrepresentation is followed by the false assumption that the evolution of an expanding universe can be deduced from Einstein's unphysical theory of gravity, which combines two distinct concepts, space and time, into some 'thing' with four dimensions called "the fabric of space-time."
I should like to know what this "fabric" is made from and how matter can be made to shape it? Space is the concept of the relationship between objects in three orthogonal dimensions only. Time is the concept of the interval between events and has nothing to do with Einstein's physical clocks.
Clearly time has no physical dimension.
David Harriman says,
"A concept detached from reality can be like a runaway train, destroying everything in its path."
This is certainly true of Einstein's theories of relativity.
Special relativity is no different to declaring that the apparent dwindling size of a departing train and the lower pitch of its whistle are due to a real shrinking of space on the train and slowing of its clocks. We know from experience that isn't true.
The farce must eventually play out like the cartoon character walking off the edge of a cliff and not falling until the realization dawns that there is no support.
But how long must we wait? We are swiftly approaching the centennial of the big bang. The suspense has become tedious and it is costing us dearly. Some people are getting angry.
All of the 'dark' things in astronomy are artifacts of a crackpot cosmology. The 'dark energy' model of the universe demands that eventually all of the stars will disappear and there will be eternal darkness.
In the words of Brian Schmidt,
"The future for the universe appears very bleak."
He confirms my portrayal of big bang cosmology as "hope less."
The Nobel Prize Committee had the opportunity to consider a number of rational arguments and evidence against an accelerating expanding universe:
General Relativity (GR) is wrong - we don't understand gravity. Brian Schmidt mentions this possibility and labels it "heretical." But GR must be wrong because space is not some 'thing' that can be warped mysteriously by the presence of matter. The math of GR explains nothing.
Supernovae are not understood. (Schmidt mentions this possibility too). This also should have been obvious because the theory is so complex and adjustable that it cannot predict anything. The model involving a sudden explosion of an accreting white dwarf is unverified and does not predict the link between peak luminosity and duration of supernovae type 1a 'standard candles' or the complex bipolar pattern of their remnants.
The universe is not expanding - Hubble was right. If the redshift is not simply a Doppler effect, "the region observed appears as a small, homogeneous, but insignificant portion of a universe extended indefinitely both in space and time."
Concerning intrinsic redshift, Halton Arp and his colleagues long ago proved that there is, as Hubble wrote, "a new principle of nature," to be discovered.
There can be no 'dark energy' in 'empty space.' E=mc2 tells us that energy (E) is an intrinsic property of matter. There is no mysterious disembodied energy available to accelerate any 'thing' much less accelerate the concept of space.
In failing to address these points the Nobel Committee perpetuates the lack of progress in science.
We are paying untold billions of dollars for experiments meant to detect the phantoms springing endlessly from delusional theories. For example, gravitational wave telescopes are being built and continually refined in sensitivity to discover the imaginary "ripples in the fabric of space-time."
The scientists might as well be medieval scholars theorizing about the number of angels that could dance on the head of a pin.
By the end of 2010, the Large Hadron Collider has now cost more than US$10 billion searching for the mythical Higgs boson that is supposed to cause all other particles to exhibit mass!
Here, once again, E=mc2 shows that mass (m) is an intrinsic property of matter. It is futile to look elsewhere for a cause.
In a scientific field, it is dangerous to rely on a single idea. The peril for cosmologists is clear. They have developed a monoculture; an urban myth called the big bang. Every surprising discovery must be force-fitted into the myth regardless of its absurdities.
Scientists are presently so far 'through the looking glass' that the real universe we observe constitutes a mere 4% of their imaginary one.
The big bang universe
where 96% of the universe is imaginary.
The plasma universe has >99% of the universe
in the form of plasma and <1% solids, liquids and neutral gases.
The 'Alice in Wonderland' aspect of big bang cosmology is highlighted by the fact there is a competing 'plasma cosmology,' which is recognized by practical electrical engineers but unknown or dismissed by the mythmakers.
Plasma cosmology deals with the dominant (>99%) form of matter in the visible universe.
Plasma cosmology can demonstrate the formation and detailed rotation pattern of spiral galaxies, both by experiment and particle-in-cell computer simulation, using Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism alone. The puny force of gravity can be ignored!
Plasma cosmology can also explain the activity in the centers of galaxies without resort to the mythical dark gravitational beast - the 'black hole.'
The Electric Universe goes further and also explains the gravitational effects observed at the center of the Milky Way in electrical terms. So much for the gravitational cosmology of the big bang! No invisible 'dark matter' need be conjured up and placed where needed to save the plasma model.
The most profound and important demand we must make of astrophysicists is to justify their unawareness of this freely available 'second idea.'
'Dark energy' is supposed to make up 73% of the universe. The evidence interpreted in this weird way comes from comparing the redshift distances of galaxies with the brightness of their supernovae type 1a, used as a 'standard candle.'
It was found that the supernovae in highly redshifted galaxies are fainter than expected, indicating that they are further away than previously estimated. This, in turn, implied a startling accelerating expansion of the universe, according to the big bang model. It is like throwing a ball into the air and having it accelerate upwards.
So a mysterious 'dark energy' was invented, which fills the vacuum and works against gravity.
The Douglas Adams' "Infinite Improbability generator" type of argument was called upon to produce this 'vacuum energy.'
The language defining vacuum energy is revealing:
"Vacuum energy is an underlying background energy that exists in space even when the space is devoid of matter (free space). The concept of vacuum energy has been deduced from the concept of virtual particles, which is itself derived from the energy-time uncertainty principle."
You may notice the absurdity of the concept, given that the vacuum contains no matter, 'background' or otherwise, yet it is supposed to contain energy.
Adams was parodying Heisenberg's 'uncertainty principle' of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is merely a probabilistic description of what happens at the scale of subatomic particles without any real physical understanding of cause and effect.
Heisenberg was uncertain because he didn't know what he was talking about.
However, he was truthful when he wrote,
"we still lack some essential feature in our image of the structure of matter."
The concept of 'virtual particles' winking in and out of existence defies the aforementioned first principle of physics,
"Thou shalt not magically materialize nor dematerialize matter."
Calling that matter 'virtual' merely underscores its non-reality.
Indeed, the 'discovery' of the acceleration of the expanding universe is an interpretation based on total ignorance of the real nature of stars and the 'standard candle,' the supernova type 1a.
A supernova type 1a is supposed to be due to a hypothetical series of incredible events involving a white dwarf star. But as I have shown, a supernova is simply an electrical explosion of a star that draws its energy from a galactic circuit.
The remarkable brilliance of a supernova, which can exceed that of its host galaxy for days or weeks, is explained by the kind of power transmission line failure that can also be seen occasionally on Earth.
If such a circuit is suddenly opened, the electromagnetic energy stored in the extensive circuit is concentrated at the point where the circuit is broken, producing catastrophic arcing. Stars too can 'open their circuit' due to a plasma instability causing, for example, a magnetic 'pinch off' of the interstellar Birkeland current.
The 'standard candle' effect and light curve is then simply due to the circuit parameters of galactic transmission lines, which power all stars.
Spectacular arcing at a 500,000 Volt circuit breaker.
What of the fainter and more short-lived supernovae in highly-redshifted galaxies?
Arp has shown that faint, highly-redshifted objects, like quasars, are intrinsically faint because of their youth and not their distance.
Quasars are 'born' episodically from the nucleus of active galaxies. They initially move very fast along the spin axis away from their parent. As they mature they grow brighter and slow down, as if gaining in mass.
Finally they evolve into companion galaxies.
The decreasing quasar redshift occurs in discrete steps which points to a process whereby protons and electrons go through a number of small, quantized (resonant) increases in mass as the electrical stress and power density within the quasar increases. The charge required comes via an electrical 'umbilical cord,' in the form of the parent galaxies' nuclear jet.
Based on Arp's discovery and the electric model of galaxies and stars, both stars and supernovae type 1a are naturally dimmer, and the supernovae more short-lived, in high-redshift galaxies than in low-redshift galaxies because of the smaller galactic power density and lower mass (energy) of all subatomic particles making up the former.
Arp's galactic 'family tree'
showing birth of quasars with high-redshift (z)
which decreases stepwise as they age and eventually
form companion galaxies and progenitors of galactic clusters.
But I don't expect a Nobel Prize for this sensible explanation.
Otherwise I could meet the fate of the hapless student who created the 'Infinite Improbability generator' in Douglas Adams' wonderful Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
"when just after he was awarded the Galactic Institute's Prize for Extreme Cleverness he got lynched by a rampaging mob of respectable physicists who had finally realized that the one thing they really couldn't stand was a smart-ass."
The use of the title The Dark Side for Dr. Davis' cosmology talk seems unconsciously apposite.
It was Joseph Campbell who said,
"We live our mythology."
And George Lucas attributes the success of his Star Wars films, which rely on a degenerate, evil 'dark side,' to reading Campbell's books.
The triumph of the big bang myth over common sense and logic supports Campbell's assessment. And the showbiz appeal of Lucas' mythic approach to storytelling is evident in the 'dark side' of cosmology.
Scientists live their mythology too. Science's "cosmic confusion" is self-inflicted.
The Electric Universe paradigm is distinguished by its interdisciplinary origin in explaining mythology by the use of forensic scientific techniques. It demands the lonely courage to give up familiar landmarks and beliefs.
Sitting in the tame audience the other evening, listening to the professor of astrophysics, I was reminded of The Galaxy Song from Monty Python, which ends with the painfully perceptive lines,
"And pray there is intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth!"

What is the difference in between active and passive income? These are great concerns typically asked by lots of people. Let me describe it this way, Recurring income is that which continues to be generated after the initial effort which produced the earnings has actually been finished. There are many different methods make residual earnings, and the best methods are those which you have exclusive rights to.
These may be more difficult and time consuming to develop or acquire up front, however the benefits and income created are frequently higher and the earnings more stable then continually needing to generate earnings continuously. A residual income is one that offers earnings no matter what, even if you not actively promote the earnings source. The cash simply keeps coming. For numerous resourceful people, this is an exceptional method to make real long-term income a reality.
There are many methods to create residual earnings, some simpler than others. By investing percentages of time over a long period, the recurring income will continue to grow, and eventually grow tremendously. Recurring or passive earnings is generally income from sources besides a standard 9-5 job. Other passive income can consist of stocks, bonds, rental realty, mutual funds, and organisations one does not own.
If one would compare how earning lifestyles are operating today with the way they were going on up until a couple of years back, there is a big modification. Residual income is simply the money made from a task that was done when, but which keeps on paying by itself for a very long time. Passive earnings opportunities have constantly existed, but given that the web has become such a large part of the world, the chances have actually multiplied drastically. It is a lot easier now to take advantage of the web to produce a passive income. The Internet can now be your 24/7 sales force for you, earning upfront sales and recurring sales in the long term.
One of the most popular methods to produce residual income remains in multi level marketing. When you participate in an internet marketing opportunity, you can create repeating earnings from the exact same clients or sales of an item over and over once again as long as they are related to you.
The secret to an effective residual earnings company is keeping business as automated as possible so when it has actually been established; it does not require as much attention and the recurring money can start to be made. If automated correctly, one can actually wake up having made while one was sleeping. With the example of Internet marketing, one can have customers buying automatically and new ones joining if the business is automated correctly.
Exactly what is residual income? Exactly what is the difference in between active and passive income? These are terrific questions frequently asked by lots of people. Let me explain it by doing this, Residual earnings is that which continues to be produced after the initial effort which developed the income has actually been finished. There are various methods make recurring earnings, and the very best ways are those which you have exclusive rights to.

Passive income opportunities have always existed, but because the web has become such a large part of the world, the opportunities have actually increased dramatically. It is a lot easier now to utilize the internet to develop a passive earnings. The Internet can now be your 24/7 sales force for you, making in advance sales and recurring sales in the long term.
Among the most popular methods to generate recurring earnings remains in network marketing. When you take part in a network marketing opportunity, you can create recurring earnings from the same consumers or sales of a product over and over again as long as they are associates with you.
The key to an effective recurring income organisation is keeping business as residual income as possible so once it has actually been established; it does not need as much attention and the residual money can start to be made. If automated correctly, one can literally wake up having actually made while one was sleeping. With the example of Network Marketing, one can have consumers buying instantly and brand-new ones joining if the business is automated properly.

In the true spirit of the game?
Swindon Town could face sanctions after they made wholesale changes to their side in their recent clash with Preston, the Citizen understands.
Last Saturday, Swindon manager Mark Cooper, pictured, made seven changes to his side in their 3-0 defeat to Preston - a game with significant repercussions for Dons, who are still locked in a battle with North End for promotion.
The Robins were back to full strength again on Tuesday night for their 1-1 draw with Colchester - a decision which irked Dons boss Karl Robinson no end, admitting at the club's Player of the Year ceremony, he'd love to 'batter' Swindon at Wembley should the two sides make the play-off final.
It is also a choice believed to have riled clubs fighting at the other end of the table especially given that Swindon end their campaign with a fixture against relegation battlers Leyton Orient.
With just a point separating Dons and Preston in the battle for second, Dons could find themselves heading into the play-offs with the highest points score ever to miss out on automatic promotion, something which Robinson admits is a bug-bear. However, he says football, like life, isn't always fair.
"We'd be frustrated to finish with 91 points," he said. "And we could be 23 points clear of the team we have to play in the play-offs.
"That's almost quarter of a league season. It doesn't seem fair, but football isn't fair.

But it hits time limited. So I am wondering whether my solution is using Backtracking?  What goes wrong, How can I improve the solution, How can we Solve the Backtracking problem? What defines Backtracking?
Thanks a lot.

A: Your solution is backtracking.  It backtracks when it can no longer find an available space (chessboard[row][col] == 0) to place a queen.  Since it is finding all possible solutions, it also backtracks after it finds a solution and inserts it into the result.
Your solution is merely trying too many trial positions in each call to solve.  Note that there can only ever be one queen on any given row.  Because of this, solve can work more efficiently by only trying to place queens on a single row in each call to solve.  In the first call to solve, try placing the queen on row 0.  Then, you'll only be considering n possible placements instead of n * n.  On the second call to solve, try placing the queen on row 1.  The current row can be computed as n minus the number of queens remaining or n - queens.
With this slight modification, your code runs much faster and successfully passes when submitted to LeetCode:
func solve(chessboard:ChessBoard, queens: Int) {

    if queens == 0 {
        //Goal
        result.insert(chessboard)
    }
    else {
        let row = n - queens
        for col in 0..<n {
            //Choices
            if chessboard[row][col] == 0 {
                //Constraints
                let new = placeQuees(chessboard: chessboard, row: row, column: col)
                solve(chessboard: new, queens: queens - 1)
            }
        }
    }
}

Q: jQuery append clarification I am statically binding the accordion panel like this:

      Dropdown

Option 1

Option 2

The requirement was to bind the accordion using JSON/XML. The call to JSON Object/XML works fine, but when I append the static element using a jQuery accordion panel, it is not functional.
Partial code is given below:
$('.accordion_menu').append(
   "
"
   + "
"
   + "
**JSON DATA GOES HERE**"
   + "
"
   + "
Option 1
"
   + "
Option 2
"
   + "
"
   + "
");

What is the issue with the .append() function?

A: There is no issue with the .append() function, but since the elements it adds were not present at the time the accordion was instantiated, they don't receive any of the event handlers with which the other accordion elements have been decorated. You'll want to either re-instantiate the accordion after the .append() call, or wait until after .append() to instantiate the accordion.

UAAP: Green Archers concede late lead against Fighting Maroons to mark second loss in Season 84
Post author By Koby del Rosario, Aren Reyes
No Comments on UAAP: Green Archers concede late lead against Fighting Maroons to mark second loss in Season 84
In a highly awaited matchup between two teams gunning for sole possession of the second spot, the DLSU Green Archers crumbled in the waning minutes and fell to the UP Fighting Maroons, 61-59, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, earlier today, April 7.
After struggling in his last few games, Evan Nelle had his best outing as a Green Archer, doing it on both ends of the court with 13 points and three steals, including two shots from three-point range. In a losing effort, Justine Baltazar still had a steady all-around contribution of 13 markers, 10 rebounds, and four assists.
Following the loss, Green Archers head coach Derrick Pumaren expressed, "I will say that we did not get the job done. We did not close out the game. We did not play [aggressively] and UP made a run on us…We could've done a better job defensively."
For the Fighting Maroons, Zavier Lucero was at the center of their squad's late comeback, recording game-highs of 21 points and 14 boards. The UP rookie also showed up on the defensive end with two steals and a block.
Trading runs
Both teams started off cold in the first two minutes but Baltazar was aggressive early in the match, scoring the first three points of the game from the line. The Green Archers started to build a lead with three consecutive baskets in the paint from Bright Nwankwo, Baltazar, and Nelle. However, the Fighting Maroons answered with a barrage as they hit three shots from downtown to take the lead, 11-9. From there, it was a back-and-forth affair with both teams taking over the lead. DLSU kept dominating the interior with three offensive rebounds in the quarter before ending with a deadlock at 17-all.
The second quarter started off similarly as Nelle's midrange shot on the fastbreak remained the only field goal scored by both teams for the first few minutes. Both UP and La Salle missed open jumpshots and committed sloppy turnovers, on top of the unconventional scoring drought. However, the scoring picked up when James Spencer came up with a steal off the inbound and found CJ Cansino for a wide open three, which was the first of his back-to-back shots from beyond the arc.
UP looked to finally take control of the match but Nelle gave the Taft-based squad the momentum once again by scoring five straight points. The Fighting Maroons kept themselves in the game by being relentless on the boards, coming up with multiple offensive rebounds on the same play. The Green Archers started to pull away as they built up a 33-26 lead behind Mark Nonoy's five quick points at the 2:48 mark. However, turnovers got in the way of the Green-and-White leading to two buckets in the paint from Carl Tamayo. As a result, the first half ended with La Salle leading, 35-32.
One after the other
After a tightly contested first half, both teams opened the third quarter with the same intensity as UP athletic forward Lucero converted a putback and a slam for the Fighting Maroons. Not letting UP take the lead, DLSU's Evan Nelle followed it back with a three-pointer of his own and tallied his first double digit game for the Green-and-White thus far.
The third quarter rolled on with both teams going back and forth on the scoreboard as a result of steady scoring and tighter defensive schemes. At the 4:53 mark of the period, UP head coach Goldwin Monteverde was forced to call a timeout after DLSU's Michael Phillips scored a layup over three maroon jerseys, showcasing his inside prowess yet again.
Fresh from the timeout, both teams were held scoreless for a whole minute as M. Phillips and UP bigman Maodo Diouf exchanged words, intensifying the game even more and resulted in warnings for both swingmen. Diouf followed this up with a slam but La Salle extended their lead to five, 48-43, and finished the third period strong.
DLSU started the fourth with a stable lead, with M. Phillips slamming it down at the 8:50 mark of the quarter. Following a Deschon Winston midrange make, Monteverde was forced to call a timeout yet again to slow down the Green-and-White's rally.
But it would be UP's Lucero who would singlehandedly turn the game around for the Fighting Maroons, capped by an emphatic dunk on Baltazar and causing Pumaren to huddle his players for a timeout. While Baltazar kept the game alive for the La Salle faithful, Lucero continued his hot scoring to give UP the lead, 57-54, with 3:44 left in the game.
The Green Archers had chances to tie the game in the final minute of the quarter. But the Green-and-White failed to score in the last possession of the game after a plethora of UP fouls, which led to M. Phillips missing a contested layup that sent the game to overtime. The game ended with UP narrowly edging La Salle, 59-61, to give them sole possession of the second place in the tournament so far.
After a major collapse in the clutch, coach Derrick Pumaren laments what went wrong with the team's decision-making in the final moments of the game. "We became tentative when we got the seven-point lead. We were just standing around, there's no movement, we were just waiting for the clock to expire sana."
After La Salle succumbed to third in the standings, the Green Archers look to go back in the winning column in their final game of the first round against the Adamson Soaring Falcons on Saturday, April 9, at 1 pm at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
DLSU 59 – Baltazar 13, Nelle 13, Nonoy 9, M. Phillips 9, Winston 7, Lojera 3, Galman 3, Nwankwo 2, Austria 0, B. Phillips 0, Cuajao 0
UP 61 – Lucero 21, Tamayo 9, Cansino 9, Diouf 7, Spencer 7, Cagulangan 5, Fortea 3, Rivero 0, Alarcon 0, Abadiano 0
Quarter Scores: 17-17, 35-32, 48-43, 61-59
