Watch q-tip, kanye west, andre 3000 and more pay tribute at phife dawg's memorial
adam fleischer, MTV.com
Weesday night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, a collection of hip-hop greats assembled to honor Phife Dawg, the legendary A Tribe Called Quest rapper who died in late March. Phife's Tribe groupmates, Kanye West, and Andre 3000 all paid moving tribute, relaying stories of their relationships with the late MC and the impact he made on their lives.
Q-Tip, who was not just a Tribe partner-in-rhyme but a childhood friend of Phife's, told tales of their days as kids in New York, admiring fellow Queens natives LL Cool J and Run-DMC, hoping to one day emulate their talent and success.
Kanye, meanwhile, talked about Tribe with the same esteem with which Tip recognized LL and Run.
"Anything I ever did wrong, blame Tip and Phife, 'cause y'all raised me," he said, earning some laughs. "Y'all made it OK for me to be me."
The Roots, D'Angelo, and KRS-One all paid musical tribute, as well.
In addition, a new video from Phife, "Nutshell," produced by J Dilla, dropped, which you can watch below.

'Dogs Fail to Build Momentum as Game Goes to the Wolves [with AUDIO]
No Comments on 'Dogs Fail to Build Momentum as Game Goes to the Wolves [with AUDIO]
Mike Blunden was the game's third star in a losing effort (PHOTO: Dan Hickling)
POST-GAME AUDIO: Sylvain Lefebvre | Mike Blunden
HAMILTON, ON – There was a surprise result in the AHL on Wednesday night as the Hamilton Bulldogs took down a very tough Toronto Marlies team by a 6-4 score on the road, but in typical 'Dogs fashion, the team was unable to build off the victory to gain momentum for their stretch run. Friday, the anemic Hamilton offense was back from its one-game outlier six-goal outburst, as the team failed to score in getting shutout 3-0 by the Chicago Wolves.
Mike Blunden was the game's third star in a losing effort (PHOTO: Dan Hickling)
The Bulldogs have customarily started slowly this season and this night was no exception. The team fell into a 2-0 hole early on as first a Michael Davies breakaway and then a fluke Kevin Connauton centering play from along the sideboards just 38 seconds later put Chicago ahead. Hamilton netminder Cedric Desjardins – having a largely disappointing season despite also not getting much help from his teammates – seemed to be fighting the puck for most of the night and was notably slow coming across on Connauton's goal. Any Habs fans frustrated by the play of Peter Budaj and thinking Desjardins might be a suitable replacement shouldn't count on it; the goaltending pipeline after Carey Price is exceptionally thin.
The 'Dogs didn't manage much in the way of quality scoring chances throughout the rest of the game, with the best coming from a Joey Tenute break, a near-miss of a Mike Blunden rebound, and a Louis Leblanc centering feed that just missed both Gabriel Dumont and Michael Bournival. The latter was perhaps the only real chance Hamilton mustered on numerous man-advantage opportunities as the team's powerplay remains near-opposite of that in Montreal – it entered the game last in the AHL at an abysmal 9.7%.
Blunden was the best of the Bulldogs on a night where it isn't saying particularly much, one of the few with more than one opportunity in the offensive zone. Blunden has spent time in the Montreal press box already this season, and given the close eye Martin Lapointe has been keeping on the team – frequently behind the bench since the firing of Ron Wilson – he has impressed enough to remain the top call-up along with Gabriel Dumont, who had a quiet night by his standards this year.
"We just didn't play as a team. We played as individuals tonight," was Blunden's explanation for the loss after the game. "Tomorrow's a new day and we change things around with a win."
On his press box stint in Montreal, he added, "They said just keep playing, you're playing real well. Keep going and when there's an injury you'll be back. Obviously they're going to take whoever's playing the best down here, you know Dumi [Gabriel Dumont] is playing real well, but my main focus here is to win games. That's what we're here for. To win games in Hamilton."
The loss dropped Hamilton to 9 games below .500, so any hopes of a post-season qualification seems out of reach at this point. But it continues to be a critical development year for a number of legitimate Canadiens' NHL hopefuls who will be back at it Saturday against the Texas Stars.

Dan was raised with a love for the Habs since his grandfather was a close friend of Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard, and others of that era. But he only became a diehard in his own right during the 1993 Stanley Cup run. If it is a fact regarding the Canadiens between then and now, he probably knows it. Dan loves to read or watch anything and everything about his team, and started a blog to share his knowledge, a mission he hopes to continue in joining the All Habs team. Outside of hockey, he is a Toronto (via Montreal) marketing and business professional who recently completed an MBA from McGill University.

Pearl Harbor, Was this a Sneak Attack ?
Was this a sneak attack?
The president knew….. and the Hilo Hawaii newspaper published it a week in advance…on the front page..!!
December 7. Whenever this fateful date reoccurs on the calelndar, it invariably revives a flood of tragic and painful recollections. The pain of recollection will be intensified this year when you read the recently published frank, and informative, memoirs of the widely experienced and universally respected General Albert C. Wedemeyer [Wedemeyer Reports! — Ed.].
Who, then, was responsible for the bloody surprise at Pearl Harbor? Ever more and more certainly that calamitous day is being firmly established in history as the infamous time when more than 3,000 American soldiers and sailors were sentenced to sudden and violent death by the calculated and deliberate dereliction of their own Commander-in-Chief.
The American people did not know then that the president and his top military advisors in Washington had been intercepting Japanese secret messages for many months, and that as General Wedemeyer has said, "These messages had finally indicated the time, the place, and the character of the Pearl Harbor attack, days in advance of December 7," Neither did the American people know then that this dreadful and important information had been deliberately withheld from the men who were most entitled to know it, namely, the top commanders of the United States Army and Navy forces in Hawaii.
George Morgenstern wrote and published what he called Pearl Harbor: The Story of the Secret War. The politicians saw to it that Morgenstern's early revelation was given the silent treatment in the press of the country. But, in that book today, you can trace the long, sadistic persecution that was forced upon two great military men who were selected as the scapegoats for the day of infamy.
Namely, Lieutenant Walter C. Short and Rear Admiral Hus band E. Kimmel. General Short is now dead, but Admiral Kimmel is now living in Connecticut. Three years ago, he published his own book about Pearl Harbor, which is authentic, remarkably restrained and entirely without rancor [Admiral Kimmel's Story -Ed.].
In the magazine section of the Chicago Tribune, he writes an up-date of his findings concerning the available warning that was never given to him. Admiral Kimmel happens to be my life-long personal friend. Last week I went to his home to obtain his direct answers to key questions about the Pearl Harbor attack. Here is my recorded interview with this distinguished, long-suffering man, to whom the officers and trustees of his alma mater, The United States Naval Academy, recently gave an extended testimonial for the patriotism, loyalty, ability, for titude and devotion to duty that he displayed at Pearl Harbor, before, on and after the 7th day of December, 1941.
Kimmel: My belief is that General Short and I were not given the information available in Washington and were not informed of the impending attack because it was feared that action in Hawaii might deter the Japanese from making the attack.

Australian Open and Guide to Melbourne
October 10, 2013 clsadmin
Simply thirteen years past, it had been revelling in a very triumphant Olympic Games amid claims it had been the best town within the world. London has since snatched the "best-ever Olympics" title. currently Melbourne, long-time second fiddle to Sydney, has been voted the world's most inhabitable town for the past 2 years.
One US columnist said 'women fell for him like ninepins and when he went to Hollywood, male film stars went and sulked in Nevada.
It shouldn't be a surprise in a very country with such competitive instincts that the 2 cities are slugging it out for thus long (Melbourne hosted her own successful athletic contest in 1956). within the nineteenth century, Melbourne enjoyed a gold rush and therefore the world's highest per capita champagne consumption and, despite the Victorian grandeur, was a busy port choked with high-rollers adopting fairly low morals. Then the town developed a rep for being too British, whereas vivacious Sydney player the sequential waves of immigrants seeking the nice life in Oz.
There are some unpleasant sights to behold when the camera crosses idly over the crowd at SW19 – giant Union Jack headwear, portly gentlemen spilling Moet on their trousers, Alex Ferguson… but thankfully, it's not all bad.
Tennis players, like footballers, Formula 1 drivers – hell, any young, rich, male athlete – seem to have the incredible knack of ending up with stunning wives and girlfriends to sit on the sidelines, chewing their nails and cheering them on. No, we can't figure it out either.
Now, the Ugg's on the opposite foot. Melbourne is as inventive a town as any at once, with hip eateries, gig venues, galleries and speakeasies stoning up faster than you'll say "strewth".
Goodwood Festival of Speed
October 7, 2013 clsadmin
Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival founder Lord March is today able to announce the provisional dates for next year's two leading sell-out Goodwood motoring events. It should be noted that at this stage the 2014 Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival dates are provisional and remain subject to change, pending ratification by the FIA of the 2014 Formula 1 calendar in December.
The 911 has been at the very heart of the Porsche brand for the past five decades. Few other sports cars in the world can look back on such a long tradition and continuity as the Porsche 911. It has been inspiring car enthusiasts the world over since its debut as the model 901 at the IAA International Automotive Show at Frankfurt in September 1963.
Goodwood honoured the 50th anniversary of one of the world's most versatile and popular sports cars – the Porsche 911 – at the Festival of Speed 2013.
Today the truly versatile 911 is considered by its many devoted fans to be the quintessential sports car, and the central point of reference for all other Porsche series, as each of the marque's other models carry a piece of the 911's philosophy.
The Track Action
As well as wheel-to-wheel racing, the Members' Meeting will also feature thrilling, high-speed track action from more modern eras of Formula 1, Le Mans and beyond – sights and sounds that have never been seen before at Goodwood Motor Circuit. The inaugural event in 2014 will celebrate the flame-spitting Formula 1 cars
The three typical, Marshall-style controls for volume, bass, treble and a switch to flip on and off the Stan Mores, located on the top of the unit. Through the included 3.5mm spiral cable, which has the appearance of a typical guitar cable, virtually any music source to the powered speakers can be connected.
50 Years of Porsche
The main 'Central Feature' marked this prestigious milestone with a one-off 911-inspired sculpture displayed prominently outside Goodwood House. A dedicated class of road and racing 911s, covering all seven generations of the iconic sports car, took to the Goodwood Hillclimb twice each day over this Summer weekend for a special parade.
Can be beyond even via Bluetooth with aptX technology or the two other connections ( RCA input / optical input ) connect directly to their sources.Thanks to the high quality components Stanmore intended to provide a detailed sound across the entire frequency range without sacrificing quality. The sound is punchy, without losing detail, and very clear and powerful to penetrate the entire spectrum from Stanmore.

What are Northern Arizonans Predicting for 2012?
By Stacey Wittig on January 20, 2012 in Local News
January always brings customary predictions for what the New Year will hold. While some laugh at Doomsday prophesies based on Mayan calendars, others are concerned about the election year, the economy or business opportunities. One thing is for sure, 2012 offers an abundance of events ripe for prognostication. Flagstaff Business News asked Northern Arizonans what was on their minds as they pondered the coming year.
"There will be more Biomedical Engineers living and working in Northern Arizona than the entire Boulder, Colo. region!" forecasts Daniel J. Kasprzyk, of Machine Solutions (MSI). "What we can bank on in 2012 is: MSI will surpass 100 employees; MSI will double our office and manufacturing space in Flagstaff; and MSI will complete our first strategic acquisition, effectively doubling our annual revenue," said the president and CEO of the Flagstaff company.
"2012 will see the beginning of the restoration of American democracy. Here's how it will happen: someone, somewhere will run and win a key election with a Zero Dollar Campaign run exclusively through free social media," said Geoffrey S. Barnard of the new Flagstaff Ale Trail. "Just as social media led the Arab Spring, social media will revolutionize our 2012 elections. How? …Social media avoids the cost of TV ads. Social media is more targeted, energizes new voting blocs (especially young voters), and is free.
"When it is demonstrated in 2012 that, for example, a Congressional seat can be won for essentially zero dollars, instead of a million or more, Congress can no longer be bought and sold by powerful lobbyists. The power of lobbyists and their political contributions will dramatically wane. American democracy will be saved and restored," portended Barnard, former director of the Grand Canyon Trust.
On the other hand, John Lopez, editor of Collapse Watch Newsletter, Flagstaff, predicted, "2012 will be a year fraught with serious financial challenges as well as continued attacks to our civil rights. Thanks to Ben Bernanke and the United States Federal Reserve, its continuing money printing activities could bring about a crash of the U.S. dollar in 2012, leaving most people's paper asset-based nest eggs nearly worthless. Thanks to the U.S. Congress, the Bill of Rights has been suspended with the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1031 and 1032. This new law allows the military, upon direction by the President, to detain without cause or due process any American citizen on U.S. soil and toss them into the already built detention camps.
"Suffice it to say that a year from now, the lives of most Americans are going to be radically different from what they are used to now. Thanks to the warning that Janet Napolitano provided to her friends in Phoenix about a year ago, many have had the opportunity to prepare for this time in U.S. history," added Lopez, BA, MBA and financial consultant.
Keith McClanahan, principal at Facility Issues, Flagstaff and consultant to Fortune 500s, said, "I see 2012 to be similar to 2011:
• Wages will match inflation at about two percent.
• There will be minor improvement in the job growth, with unemployment declining slightly – basically even with the increasing workforce and a significant portion of the working workforce will be under-employed.
• House prices will continue to fall, as I think there are more homeowners underwater than economists show. Flagstaff housing will not follow this trend.
• There will be continued reductions in services provided by state and local governments and education.
• Falling house prices and low interest rates will exacerbate the poor financial situation of retirees."
Carlton N. Hill, retired law enforcement officer, predicted, "2012 is going to be a tumultuous year for this nation, both economically and politically. This coming year will see many changes in lifestyle for a multitude of people."
Another Flagstaff retiree, Diana Kalas, said, "I predict the pull-out of our forces in Iraq will result in even more deadly violence in that war-torn country and more terrorism around the world. While here at home I predict we will have to continue learning to do more with less as our economy continues to falter."
"Tax law is going to change in 2012, and it's going to be more complicated," decried Flagstaff CPA Gene Baker.
Dr. Greg Hackler, a chiropractic physician in Winslow, was pulling someone's leg when he said, "I predict the imminent forthcoming of a leap year because of Feb. 29, I believe 2012 is going to be fantastic in that the 12/21/12 end of the world hype is the new Y2K, and am fairly confident that Mercury will go into retrograde sometime during the year, necessitating an increased need for computer technicians."
Kim Yuhl of Fizz Bath, Flagstaff prognosticated, "After a race to find 'bath salts' illegal in many states across the country, the local drug enforcement agency in Flagstaff raids Fizz Bath Shop only to find their bath salts to be natural and healthy."
"I predict that in 2012 the educational climate in Flagstaff will become stronger as we all work together towards aligning to the National Core Standards. As that happens, I predict that students all over the city, state and nation will begin to get the education they all deserve!" Toni Keberlein, principal, Northland Preparatory Academy, Flagstaff, forecasted.
"I am an optimist and feel confident about the future. I believe the economy will pull itself slowly out of this recession. It will take some hard work and difficult choices for Congress to get their bipartisan groove on. I have been extremely lucky to have a great job with benefits that has helped keep us afloat. My territory is growing and I predict a healthy selling period on my part and a decent raise. There is hope for a better future as our troops come home and we will have relative peace once again," predicted Melanie Nelson, General Surgery Sales, WL Gore Medical Products, Flagstaff. FBN

Q: Tell us about David Livingstone's early life.
A: Well, David Livingstone was born in a single family room of his parents' house in Blantyre. [It] was in a tenement block for the people working in the mill, the cotton mill. And at the age of 10, he was started work as a piecer -- that was joining together broken threads, and he'd to run around and get the threads and join them together, but with a kind of 12-hour working day up until eight o'clock at night. But the mill was kind of enlightened, and they provided a school for some of the young children, the children who were working there. And so after work, he would have a couple of hours lessons in the school. And then he would go home and would have homework to do. So it was a long, long day that he grew up with.
Q: What made him choose medicine?
A: Well as a boy, he was very interested in the world around him, and there's stories about him looking for fossils in quarries and interested in the plants and so on. So he had an interest in this natural world, and science, of course, was developing at that time. I suppose that that's why he sort of began to feel that medicine was something of interest...He also felt that he could do something through medicine to relieve suffering and so on. And I feel that he was interested in all this development at the time. And although, although medicine couldn't achieve then what it can now, it was still accepted as being as helping illness and suffering to a great extent.
Q: What do you think [his] motivations were for going to Africa?
A: Well, having in his, when he went into medicine he, at that time was intending to become a missionary. He came from a religious family and an independent church, one of the kind of congregational churches in Hamilton. And he was fired with enthusiasm to take the gospel further. But he had, had heard, you see, that you could be a medical missionary, and that's, that's what he said, that's for me. And his father was a bit against this. He said, oh doctors, they, they just look for their fees and so on. But when he realized why his son wanted to do this, he agreed. So he then trained in, in Glasgow, and went to classes there for a year or two, and then went on to London and furthered his medical training. But by this time, he had actually got involved with the London Missionary Society. So they gave him a theological training. And this of course is one of the boys -- perhaps the only one -- in his group, or in many groups, who had achieved that kind of level from these workers in the mill.
Q: What drove him to eradicate ignorance?
A: Working as a doctor and a missionary I think he would have said that first he was going to be missionary. He was there to preach the gospel to those who hadn't heard. But he wasn't just going to deal with their spiritual side -- he'd deal with the bodily side as well. And so this is how medicine came in. He would heal and so on. And in fact, of course, they would, they would teach and bring in some education and so on. And this was the kind of missionary ethos at the time. You looked at the whole, at the whole people, and said, they need the gospel and they need other things to go. Without education, you won't read the bible.
Q: What kind of problems did he experience in terms of trying to convert African natives?
A: Well, I think his first, his first need of course was to learn the language. And so, he'd learn the language, and learn about the people. Now in this, in, he was extremely interested in both of these. In fact, in due course he was, he kind of wrote a grammar of the local language, which was published. But he was also very interested in their customs and beliefs. And so in these little journeys to, to see further afield and to look at where he might establish them, he was travelling with African people and was learning and meeting the tribes...And so he was learning about their culture...That was something [that] other missionaries had been less interested in. They had said, well this, this culture is worthless, it's degraded, and so on. He was interested, although he appreciated it had, it had its problems and all the rest of it, but he was very interested in that. And so he developed quite a good knowledge of the peoples and what they believed, and how they behaved and why they behaved.
Q: What do you think was more important to him -- exploring or converting?
A: I think Livingstone was always a missionary, although he's seen later as being the explorer. But he was exploring usually with an idea that there would be, that there was a purpose in this. He of course had developed the view that Christianity and commerce and civilization would go together. And this would be the way of bringing to an end the slave trade, and bringing in legitimate commerce and trade. He saw possibly colonists coming in to work with the African people. He had, he didn't see the country being taken over as a colony, but he saw people coming who could help in various ways and would work to produce crops. He was very interested in cotton, of course. He worked with cotton in the mill, and there was cotton in the Zambezi valley and he thought this is, this would be a future. So his attention was not so much converting individuals but setting, sowing the seeds for Christian country, trading, developing and you know, in all these ways.
Q: What was Dr Livingstone's point of view regarding the expansion of the British Empire?
A: Some people have suggested that Livingstone was very much an empire builder. He was interested in colonists coming in. He could see that these African countries [had] peoples who were not totally different from the European peoples. You know, he could see that in the different peoples had got the same potentialities, the same emotional feelings. They might live in a culture that was debased, as he might have thought. But they had the same potential as everyone else. He was clearly somebody who accepted that the races of man were one humanity, and that's important. But he felt that these primitive, uneducated peoples, you know, you would need to bring in colonists. He came from Scotland, and he came from a background of people who had worked on the land. And although he had come from a mill, he could see that these working people there could work with the African people. They could bring in skills and pass these skills over.
So he saw the need for them to come in. I don't think he envisaged that these countries would then become dependencies of in the British Empire or whatever. That, that I think he, he had actually travelled you see with, and visited tribes where the tribal structure was good...Again, he would say, he would feel that bring in civilizing influences and Christianity, then that should improve [Africa]. Now I don't think that he, he was positively feeling that the time would come when the countries he was travelling to would become colonies and part of the British Empire.
Dr. David Livingstone Wilson was born in Zambia (Northern Rhodesia) at Chitambo Mission, 50 miles from where his great grandfather died. Brought up in Scotland and trained in Glasgow University Medical School, he returned to Zambia with wife Ada to medical missionary work at Lubwa Hospital from1951-59. In 1993, he spent three months with New Century Conservation Trust Expedition following Dr. Livingstone's last journey in Tanzania, Burundi and Zambia, walking some 300 miles closely following the explorer's route.

RELIGION, CASTE AND POLITICS IN INDIA
By Christophe Jaffrelot
Hurst & Co, London, 2011, pp. xxxii + 802, price not stated
VOLUME XXXVI NUMBER 9 SEPTEMBER 2012
India's robust sense of accomplishment at being a functioning democracy amid much political chaos has tended in recent times to waver ever so slightly. The rosy flush of optimism that came with the spurt in economic growth over the early years of the century has faded and there is a deeper sense of worry over the ability of the Indian political process to accommodate all the interests that are in contention within. The Anna Hazare moment was perhaps an elite rebellion against the noise and bustle that have made Indian democracy an intensely competitive, but ultimately inclusive and accommodative process. Beyond the popular endorsement conferred by the electoral process, the Anna Hazare movement calls out for a new touchstone of political legitimacy, based on individual virtue. Another line of criticism holds that Indian democracy has failed to assimilate the liberal ethos, rendering politics a brutally competitive game where clans and ethnic groups battle for control over scarce resources. Far from being exercised for the good of all, political power in turn, becomes a means of pre-empting the use of public resources for cultivating patronage within narrow networks of kinship and community. What then is missing in India's democratic practice? What is it that makes even the most rigorous adherence to procedure, an inadequate guarantee of best results and a system that works for all? Some of the possible hazards were seen by early pathfinders of the Indian democratic experiment, such as B.R. Ambedkar, as inherent in a social and economic milieu of deeply imbedded disparities. It was a state of inequality that a system of universal franchise could not correct, without specific guarantees for those at its lower end. It took a number of special provisions for the system of 'one man, one vote' to be translated in practice into 'one man, one value'. And the criteria on which these special provisions were to be made were those of identity. Christophe Jaffrelot, the French scholar whose prolific work on Indian politics has made him a constantly cited source, assembles his work over roughly two decades between the covers of this book. This is a diverse collection that touches upon themes that Jaffrelot has addressed separately in books published over the years. The unifying themes are summed up in the title. Religion and caste are the two markers of sub-national identity that have had a bearing on politics ...

Its Webb v Creamer in 2nd round
Karrie Webb v Paula Creamer is one of the unexpected match-ups in Friday's 2nd round of the Sybase Match Play.
Karrie Webb and Paula Creamer can blame the LPGA Tour's new format for the fact that they will have to take each other on as early as the second round in this week's Sybase Match Play Championship which started on Thursday.
This year the top 32 seeded players were given the choice of selecting their first-round opponents, regardless of their seedings, in a blind draw never knowing who their second round opponent would be.
And because of it, young gun Creamer, the World No 12 who whipped Aree Song 5-and-4 in Thursday's first round at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club, will next play.Karrie Webb, the World No 8 and the premier Australian women's golfer, in a clash more suited to a semi-final.
At 36, Webb, who beat fellow Australian Sarah Kemp, 3-and-2, comes from a different generation, yet Creamer has always considered her a close confidante and sees this as a battle between good friends
"I've always respected the great players of the game, whether they were older than me or younger than me," said Webb, who has two wins already this season.
"When I first came on Tour, to me the greatest generation of the LPGA Tour, while not still at their peak, the late 70s and 80s generation, Nancy Lopez, Beth Daniel, Betsy King, Pat Bradley, Patty Sheehan, Juli Inkster. All of those players made the Hall of Fame and they competed against each other week in and week out."
Creamer, who has claimed nine LPGA victories at the age of 24 and is considered the young American player most capable of reaching No. 1 in the world rankings,.advanced with a dominating 5-and-4 victory over Aree Song, going 6-up through the first 10 holes, bolstered by a string of three straight birdies.
"I really admire Webby," Creamer said. "I think that she's a great golfer. She's very nice. You know, when I first came out here, she kind of took me under her wing in a sense, but in a tougher way – more as a competitor."
Another player who saw the unexpected impact of the blind draw was sixth-seeded Ai Miyazato from Japan.
Miyazato had to face 34th-seeded Hee Young Park, sinking a birdie putt on the 18th green to stay alive before draining a 22-footer on the third extra hole to close out the day's best match.
"I played really good and she played really good, too," she said. "It was the hardest match I've ever played. If we'd gone one more hole, my energy would also have been gone. I had a really good focus, though, so I'm very happy."
American Cristie Kerr, who has been one of a series of occupiers of the World No 1 slot since Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa retired, and the only America to hold that position since the women's rankings started in 2006, is seeded third this week and as such beat compatriot Amanda Blumenhurst 3 and 2 as she looks to build momentum for her crack at the US Women's Open which this year will be played at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs in eight week's time.
"I think, obviously, it is a goal," she said of regaining her No. 1 ranking.
"I've been there and I like how it feels; like being on top. To do it I'll have to win some tournaments and wins some majors.
"Before Mobile (Avnet LPGA Classic) we had three weeks off after the Kraft, and I took two of those weeks off because I need something to be motivated to practice for. There were like only two tournaments in five or six weeks, and that's hard for me."
Against Blumenherst, Kerr was 4-up after five holes and never looked back, closing out the match with a par at the 16th hole.
Ninth-seeded Michelle Wie advanced with a 4-and-3 victory over Beatriz Recari, but not all the young Americans survived the Day 1 action.
Thirteenth-seeded Morgan Pressel was unexpectedly eliminated by 62nd-seed Julieta Granada, who went 3-under-par on the back nine to come back for a 1-up victory and former champion and 15th seeded Brittany Lincicome lost to 46th-seed Wendy Ward 5-and-3.
Angela Stanford, who lost in the finals last year, trounced Candie Kung, 4-and-2 while Jenny Suh, the final player in the field as the 64th seed, ousted veteran Juli Inkster, the 29th seed, 2-and-1.

Q: Сумма порядковых номеров букв (ABCM: 1 + 2 + 3 +13 = 19) Дан массив JavaScript: [Natasha, Device, Auto, ...................]
Нужна сумма порядковых номеров букв алфавита, пример (ABCM: 1 + 2 + 3 +13 = 19)
Мой код:
const nameArr = ['mary']; // 13 + 1 + 18 + 25 = 57

const alphabet= {
    'a':  1, 'b':  2, 'c':  3, 'd':  4, 'e':  5, 'f':  6, 'g':  7, 'h': 8,  'i':  9,
    'j': 10, 'k': 11, 'l': 12, 'm': 13, 'n': 14, 'o': 15, 'p': 16, 'q': 17, 'r': 18,
    's': 19, 't': 20, 'u': 21, 'v': 22, 'w': 23, 'x': 24, 'y': 25, 'z': 26
};

A: Не уверен, что понимаю, при чём здесь упомянутый в начале массив. Но если нужна функция пересчёта строки в сумму порядковых номеров букв по алфавиту и если ожидается только базовая латиница, можно так:
'use strict';

function getAlphabetSum(str) {
  return [...str].map(char => char.toLowerCase().charCodeAt(0) - 96)
                 .reduce((acc, num) => acc + num);
}

console.log(getAlphabetSum('ABcd')); // 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10

A: Немного поиграюсь, пожалуй - всего 47 символов на преобразование строки в сумму:

console.log(["Natasha","Device","Auto","ABCM"].map(
  s=>eval(s.replace(/./g,'+parseInt("$&",36)-9'))
))

Ариамир — король свевов в Галисии (теперь западная Испания и северная Португалия), правил приблизительно в 558/559 — 561/566 годах.

Известен только по деяниям Первого Брагского собора, состоявшегося 1 мая 561 года в Браге. Известно, что собор состоялся на третьем году правления Ариамира, из чего следует, что вступить на престол он должен был не ранее мая 558 года и не позднее апреля 559 года.

Ни Исидор Севильский, ни Иоанн Бикларский не упоминают этого короля. Зато Исидор Севильский утверждает, что свевы приняли ортодоксальное вероисповедание при короле Теодемире. На основании этого некоторые историки отождествляют Ариамира и Теодемира. Это же отождествление подкрепляют и ссылкой на фонетическую близость имён Ариамир и Теодемир. Однако данная гипотеза не поддерживается большинством ученых, которые различают этих двух королей, считая, что при Ариамире был проведён Первый Брагский собор, на котором было принято решение о переходе народа свевов из арианства в ортодоксальное христианство, а при Теодемире это обращение было завершено.

Причины заставившие свевов перейти из арианства в ортодоксальное христианство на основе Никейского Символа веры не известны. Прав ли Григорий Турский связывающий это обращение с чудесным исцелением сына короля Харариха, с которым часто отождествляют Ариамира, также точно не установлено. Но незадолго до 560 года или около него случилось нечто такое, что заставило правителей-свевов пересмотреть своё отношение к ортодоксально-никейской церкви. Ибо когда Лукреций, митрополит Браги, обратился к Первому совету Браги в календы мая 561 года, он ясно сказал о том, что синоды ортодоксально-никейской церкви в Галисии были запрещены королями, и лишь недавно запрет был снят.

Не установлено также и точное количество лет правления Ариамира, однако Иоанн Бикларский, начавший писать свою хронику с 567 года, подразумевает, что в этом году уже правил король Теодемир. На основании этого можно заключить, что Ариамир умер на отрезке времени от мая 561 года до 566 года.

DocJet is no longer a commercial product. It is now free to use, but unsupported.
As some of my loyal users will already have observed, Tall Tree Software has never consisted of anything more than myself, Steve Benz. I've written it, supported it, and marketed it (in my own limited fashion!) Now, I'm calling an end to it. DocJet had a great run! The first DocJet license was sold in 1996, and kept me in groceries for over 10 years. For the past several years, DocJet has not seen the kind of love it enjoyed earlier on. This is because of a trend I spotted several years ago:
Changes to computer languages and IDE's will soon make DocJet and tools like it obsolete.
That might seem distant, since DocJet et. al. are still the only game in town, but take a look at the changes that have gone on outside of the comment space. Visual Studio catches most syntax errors before you ever run the compiler! Tools like DocJet are still stuck in the compile-test-debug cycle of old. The next generation of commenting tools will be integral to the editor, and will catch spelling, grammatical, formatting and completeness errors as you're typing them.
One of the things that always distinguished DocJet from its competitors was its ability to glean formatting clues from textual idioms. While this was important back in the day, when the next generation of comment-aware editors comes out, this will be entirely unneeded. Thus tools like NDoc and Sandcastle, who grimly build documentation from machine-friendly formats are the future of this business.
Even beyond the editor, there are still interesting questions about the future of documentation. The one that strikes me as the most interesting arises from the fact that, back in 1996, if you were to write a function that, say, sets the background color, you'd probably write int setbgclr(int c). Back in the day, brevity was the fad and first-class objects were hard to make. Just by looking at setbgclr, it's hard to say just what it does. Even if you can parse the name, you would still ask what is c? Is it an index in a pallatte? An RGB quad? If so how many bits? And what of the return code, is it a 0/-1 result code? Is it maybe the previous color? Given all this, it's clear why the current generation of documentation tools are all so very good at making sure each function's documentation includes the purpose, parameters and return code.
Today, we wouldn't write setbgclr. We would write something more like void SetBackgroundColor( Color c ). Even a novice programmer can discern what this function does and what the arguments do. The old questions of purpose, arguments and return value are becoming more irrelevant every day. The important questions are more along the lines of "what constitutes the background?" and "when does this change take effect?" Creating a commenting tool that could ask those questions of commenters is the future of documentation tool development.
That's a future I'd like to be a part of, but after long investigation, I just don't believe it can be done unless you're a part of the team developing the IDE and language tools. While it's true that Eclipse and Visual Studio IDE's can now be extensively tweaked, my investigations suggest that they're not good enough to make the kind of changes I envision.
So, for the time being, I'm not working on any code for any of these ideas. I'm going to stick to theorizing from the sidelines and go on to other things.
Steve Benz - September 9, 2007
Read a comparison between DocJet and DoxyGen, JavaDoc and NDoc
Documentation tools require good comments to produce good output; that's why DocJet goes to such lengths to adapt to your commenting style. The easier we make it for programmers to write the comments, the more and better comments they will write.
See a sample of DocJet's output
DocJet's output is functional, not flashy. You won't see a bunch of charts and call graphs that essentially put the burden of figuring out what a function does on the reader.


Every customer support staff will have some or the other experience where a client was terribly upset and how he or she handled the situation or could not handle situation. In reality, everyone who wants to join a customer facing job especially support needs to look at the human angle of the job. It is considered very mundane in a customer support job to deal with angry customers who are shouting or have completely lost it due to issues which they are facing. These are the difficulties of the job and is part and parcel of the game.
The customer service training which you receive at the very beginning of your customer support job is very important. Here you will be taught to deal with angry and ruthless customers. You will be taught how not to lose your plot and deal with anger, criticism and abusive behavior from the other end. This training will teach you to be more professional even when the customer is hurling out very angry words at you, even though he or she has never seen you. If you know how to deal with angry customers you will definitely sail through the other calls wherein the customer is calm and composed.
Sometimes it so happens that the customers are completely non communicative. Language is not a problem here, the problem is distorted facts and figures or no facts at all. They have no idea about the technical details that might help them proceed with the case or have lost the facts that will steer the case forward. In these cases all you can do is buy more time from them to fish out as many details as you can on your own, from your own database or ask the customer to get the details which can help in the closure of the case. Communication is key when it comes to problem solving and if the facts and figures are not given correctly, it becomes very difficult to proceed with the case. Dealing with such people and cases can take a longer amount of time and might take more than one support call to solve and close the case. Hence it is of primary importance to ask these questions during the customer service training and learn to deal with such cases tactfully.
There are many customers who call the customer support service just to vent out their anger and dissatisfaction. It might not be personal but they might be completely disappointed with the product or service and might feel that shouting and venting out at the customer support staff is the only way to get rid of their anger and disappointment. This might be very disturbing to deal with on a day to day basis but that is the reality of this industry. Angry and difficult customers will be a part of your job and you will have to make sure that you deal with them tactfully.
Sometimes you just need to hear them out and act like a sponge absorbing all the tension and negativity. Other times a sorry might lift their spirits. If there is a way that you can genuinely help an angry or a terribly upset customer, you need to fish out the facts and details in the midst of all the rage and venting out. There might be times when the customer has just called to vent out and the only way to go through with it is to listen and be empathetic.
There are many customers who can be very difficult to please. Even companies like Zendesk face such issues. They might not be able to give you all the facts and figures pertaining to the case and might expect a 100% result out of it. These people are difficult to crack. In your customer service training they will tell you that patience is the best way to deal with such customers and that is perhaps the only way that you can get through such customers. You need to keep asking them the relevant questions to steer the case forward and document what is the kind of information that is missing from the customer's side, so that it is all there on record and you are not blamed for not being able to steer the case forward. However difficult the customer or the case is, your attempt should be to help as much as you can and take it forward with earnest and sincere effort.
Thus these are some of the kind of customers that you might face on a regular basis in a customer support job. It is a difficult place to be in sometimes and no one can undermine the role of customer support training. The more your train the better you will be at your job. It will give you the essential tools to deal with all kinds of cases and all kinds of people who will pose a challenge at every step of the way.


An oft-cited piece of IT admin advice when a computer or workplace system becomes unresponsive is that the person experiencing the problem should try turning it off and on again. The truth of the matter is that in any network environment or computer configuration, just pressing a button can be a vital part of endpoint management. At the same time, IT administrators need to be on top of the core challenges that a digital workplace brings, especially if the solutions available can prevent unwanted computer downtime.
With that in mind, here are four areas that IT administrators need to be on top of on a daily basis.
A recent report from IDC said that global spending on security-related hardware, software and services will reach $133.7 billion by 2022. According to IDC, security spending is now the prime focus for the vast majority of the private sector, with managed security services expected to deliver at least 50 percent of that total. In addition, endpoint security software will be the largest segment during the forecast period, driven by the needs of large, medium and small businesses alike, IDC said.
The demands of the connected society have inevitably meant that workers are likely to be mobile on a regular basis. The vast majority of people expect to have remote access to workplace systems via a smartphone, laptop or tablet, with the shift to telecommuting prevalent across the private sector. The challenge for IT teams is that a remote workforce can be unmonitored by the boundaries of the corporate network.
Mobile devices are exactly what they say on the tin, and endpoint management can be limited when the number of potential endpoints can—in theory—change on a daily basis. When you take into account that people are unlikely to inform IT every time they buy the latest iPhone or switch between laptops, then endpoint management for mobile devices becomes essential. Add into the mix that the two major mobile operating systems—Apple's iOS and Google's Android—are probably spread fairly evenly among workers, and it becomes even more important to have software that can be deployed quickly with little fuss.
Without wishing to pass aspersions on most workers, people are flawed. Careless or negligent employees can be responsible for all manner of computer-related problems, with a recent Ponemon Institute study revealing that internal (and often unintentional) data breaches alone can cost companies an average of $283,281 per incident to resolve.
By the same chalk, employee behavior or habits is ranked among the top challenges to overcome by IT professionals, while there is a consensus that people are often blissfully unaware of the responsibility they have while they sit at their workstation. In addition, when a computer becomes unresponsive, the user can spend valuable time trying to fix the problem themselves, irrespective of their level of technical ability. A software solution such as 'reboot to restore' that removes this particular pain point can be invaluable in endpoint management, allowing both the user or IT administrator to restore the computer to its former settings without manual intervention.
Computer and software maintenance is part and parcel of an IT administrator's day. As software has continued to eat the world, the constant flow of updates, patches and fixes can seem overwhelming. Most companies have multiple installations of popular products, all of which need updating on a regular basis. The challenge is that if these updates are either not installed correctly or (as is occasionally likely) have been attempted by a non-IT person, then it can have a negative effect on both hardware and software.
An endpoint management solution that includes automated maintenance schedules simplifies the process by not only ensuring that the update is installed with ease but also takes into account where that software has originated from. As most IT administrators already know, the distribution of software across a network can be time-consuming, even more so if the update is merely just a patch for an existing software package. At the end of the day, the old adage that time is money rings true, which increases the need for simple and effective system maintenance wherever possible.
Faronics has studied core IT challenges affecting IT teams, for over 20 years and been providing solutions that ensure high system availability and simplify IT management. Faronics suite of products, used by over 30,000 organizations to manage over 10 Million endpoints, are geared toward removing the most pressing headaches that plague IT administrators on a regular basis.


Reading's under-18s bowed out of the FA Youth Cup after a 2-0 defeat to Bolton, despite a spirited and courage ten-man performance.
Wanderers took the lead against the run of play, before Tariqe Fosu saw a penalty saved after the winger was bundled down in the box.
The visitors clinched a vital second late, despite a huge suggestion of offside, in a second half dominated by the Royals despite going down to ten men.
Our youngsters had chances throughout the game but despite their valiant efforts, it just wasn't meant to be for the Academy - who return to Elite League action on Saturday.
Royals: Lincoln, Long, Griffin (Kelly 89), Keown, Cooper, Kuhl (C), Tshibola, Stacey, Fosu, Tanner, Ikpeazu (Shama 89).
Subs not used: Moore, Murombedzi, Hyam.
Bolton: Sievers, Gibson, Matthews, Bailey, Holding, Maher, Lester, Woodland (C) (Wolstenholme 40), Clough, Youngs, Walker.
Subs not used: Hendrie, Campbell, Newby, Hamer.
The young Royals made just one change from their round three 5-1 triumph over Brentford, with Sean Long replacing Bismark Amofah.
Reading were on top in an edgy opening to the tie, and had an early penalty appeal turned down when Uche Ikpeazu was brought down on the edge of the box.
Despite some relentless Royals pressure, it was the visitors who went ahead against the run of play. Striker Tom Youngs burst forward and had his strike take a wicked deflection and fly into the top corner past Dan Lincoln.
But our youngsters responded well - and had a chance to equalise from the spot when Fosu's energetic run was unfairly halted by a Bolton defender, with referee C Hicks rightly pointing to the spot.
After an anxious wait, Fosu stepped up but saw his well-placed penalty superbly saved by Wanderers goalkeeper Jan Ole Sievers.
The Royals, very much hard done by, were screaming for another penalty soon after. Aaron Tshibola's excellent cross looked to have possibly made contact with the arm of a Bolton defender as he bundled the ball to his goalkeeper - nothing given.
Tshibola and Kuhl both had chances to level the scoreline, but despite dominating the half, the Royals went into the break a goal down.
Craig Tanner spearheaded the Royals' liveliness after the break, and delivered a corner to the head of Uche Ikpeazu - but the striker could only glance his header wide.
On the hour mark, Reading's mission became even tougher. On a booking, Aaron Kuhl tirelessly tracked back and made a miss-timed challenge - which saw the referee produce a second yellow and the Royals were down to ten men. Somewhat harsh on the skipper, who had put in a solid shift on the night.
Some excellent work from Tshibola down the left eventually led to a chance for Sean Long, but the full back skewed his effort wide.
The young Royals did soon have the ball in the net - only for it to be flagged offside. From a searching ball, Jake Cooper managed to play in Fosu, who struck home magnificently - only to see the assistant referee raise his flag.
Reading were still on top despite the numerical disadvantage - but Bolton struck a vital second. Chris Lester looked to be a yard offside when he was played in - but nonetheless finished superbly past Lincoln to win the game.
The valiant Royals still searched for a route back into the game, but luck just would not go our way. Fosu saw a powerful header saved off the line, before the final whistle blew on the Academy's FA Youth Cup run.
It was still a performance to be proud of - albeit lacking an element of luck - but the Academy must now pick themselves up ahead of their next Elite League fixture at home to Fulham on Saturday.

EIASM, the European Institute for Advanced Studies is Management is an important institution for academic researchers in Business (Management) in Europe. Important in general, but also for Doctoral (PhD) students.
EIASM organizes the EDEN ( European Doctoral Education Network ) Doctoral Seminars program.
A subset of that program are the EDEN Accounting Doctoral Seminars. You should check these out!
More generally, EIASM administers the European Accounting Association, of which ARC is an initiative, and the other academic research associations in Business in Europe: e.g. for Finance, EFA; for General Management , EURAM; etc.. EIASM was created in the late sixties to develop academic Business research in European universities. With great success.
For one, all these associations, including the EAA originated within EIASM. Check out its website for its history and achievements here: http://www.eiasm.org/r/History-and-Achievements.
The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) was set up at the same time, also in Brussels, as a parallel initiative, by the same people. The roles determined at the time were, and still are: EIASM would foster academic research in Business in Europe, EFMD university Business education. The EFMD nowadays is best known for its EQUIS Business School accreditation label. EFMD will reappear later in these posts as well.
Their website is here: https://www.efmd.org/what-is-efmd.
Evidently in Doctoral Education EIASM and EFMD have a shared interest, this will become clear.

Today in history: On Feb. 29, 1940, Hattie McDaniel wins the Academy Award for best supporting actress for her portrayal of the housemaid Mammy in "Gone With the Wind," which wins eight Oscars. She is the first African-American winner; the next winner would come 24 years later when Sidney Poitier won for "Lillies of the Field." The next supporting actress winner was Whoopi Goldberg in 1991 for "Ghost." McDaniel 40 times played the stereotypical maid or cook. She said she'd rather portray one in a movie than be one in real life.

    <option value="3">Camping</option>
    <option value="5">Mountain Biking</option>
    <option value="6">Rappelling</option>

<script type="text/javascript">
$("select").change(function() {
    if ($("select option:selected").length > 3) {
        $(this).removeAttr("selected");
        alert('You can select upto 3 options only');
    }
});
</script>

This code shows the alert box when selected more than 3 options but still allow access to select the 4th, 5th, 6th and so on selections with the alert box appearing. How to validate this?

A: You are using this inside change event, which is reference to select.
Try this:
$("select").on('click', 'option', function() {
    if ($("select option:selected").length > 3) {
        $(this).removeAttr("selected");
        // alert('You can select upto 3 options only');
    }
});

EDIT
$("select").on('change', function(e) {
    if (Object.keys($(this).val()).length > 3) {
        $('option[value="' + $(this).val().toString().split(',')[3] + '"]').prop('selected', false);
    }
});

A: You can disable the unselected options once the user selected the maximum limit and enable them again when the total selection count goes below the maximum limit.
Here is the sample code,

    function maxAllowedMultiselect(obj, maxAllowedCount) {
            var selectedOptions = jQuery('#'+obj.id+" option[value!=\'\']:selected");
            if (selectedOptions.length >= maxAllowedCount) {
                if (selectedOptions.length > maxAllowedCount) {
                    selectedOptions.each(function(i) {
                        if (i >= maxAllowedCount) {
                            jQuery(this).prop("selected",false);
                        }
                    });
                }
                jQuery('#'+obj.id+' option[value!=\'\']').not(':selected').prop("disabled",true);
            } else {
                jQuery('#'+obj.id+' option[value!=\'\']').prop("disabled",false);
            }
        }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

  <option value="4">Rappelling</option>
  <option value="5">Rock Climbing / Bouldering</option>

  <option value="8">Canoeing & Kayaking</option>
  <option value="9">Rafting</option>
  <option value="10">Sailing</option>
</select>

A: Try this Fiddle.
$("select option").click(function() {
    if ($("select option:selected").length > 3) {
        $(this).removeAttr("selected");
        alert('You can select upto 3 options only');
    }
});

A: Try this
$("select").change(function() {
    if($("select option:selected").length > 3) {
     alert('You can select upto 3 options only');
     $(this).removeAttr("selected");
  }

});

DEMO

A: Try this, it worked for me and it's simple, it show an alert and remove one selected option.
<script>
    (function() {
        var x= document.getElementById("select");
        x.addEventListener("click",function() {
            var total = 0;
            for (var i = 0; i < x.options.length; i++) {
                if (x.options[i].selected == true) {
                    total = total + 1
                }
            }
            if (total > 3) {
                alert("please don't select more then 3 options")
                x.options[x.options.selectedIndex].selected=false
            }
        });
    })();
</script>

A: This is a custom solution I built (in the Bootstrap ecosystem.) It will disable all non-selected options in the dropdown, and re-enable them when you de-select an option.
I modulated it to a function so you can easily pass your own identifier.
These loops can almost certainly be optimized, but I'll leave that to the reader.
    <select id="my_select" class="selectpicker form-control filter-select modal-filter-dropdown" data-width = "100%" multiple>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Clear Selected Items</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 1</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 2</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 3</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 4</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 5</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 6</option>
      <option class="dropdown-item" href="#">Link 7</option>
    </select>

    <script type='text/javascript'>
      $(document).ready(function() {

        selectWithLimit("#my_select", 3);

        function selectWithLimit(selector, selection_limit) {
          let num_selected = 0;

          // count number of selected options
          $(selector).change(function(event) {
            $(selector + ' option').each(function() {
              if($(this).is(':selected')) {
                num_selected++;
              }
            });

            // disable each option that is not selected if we're over the limit
            if (num_selected >= selection_limit) {
              $(selector + ' option').each(function() {
                if (!$(this).is(':selected')) {
                  if ($(this).val() != "Clear Selected Items") {
                    $(this).prop("disabled", true);
                  }
                }
              });

            // otherwise, enable all options

Sometimes, an event can turn an ordinary American doing his or her duty into someone famous. Such is the case with Tennessee native James T. Davis.
On December 22, 1961, Davis – an American soldier – was killed in an ambush at a military airfield in Asia called Bien Hoa. Not too many people outside of Overton County noticed. But as the years went by, the United States increased its military presence in that Asian country (South Vietnam). Eventually America fought a war there called the Vietnam War. And for many years, Davis was considered to be the first American to die in that war.
The Vietnam War Memorial
The story does not end there, however. In recent years, the United State's involvement in Vietnam has been studied more closely, and we've learned that a small number of Americans were killed in Vietnam in the late 1950s. Today Davis is no longer considered the very first American killed there. But he is no less a hero; and the people of Overton County will always consider him the first.

Unless deterred by Little Hawk!
Well, as Steven Colbert said to Willie Nelson, "I accept your apology!".
Sorry about that, old chap. It was inadvertent, I assure you.
Blast you, little Hawk!! Ruined a perfectly good number!
Now to something TRULY weighty!

Q: How to efficiently choose methods in NIntegrate
I recently compute it.
NIntegrate[
 Boole[(x + y - z)^4 +
    4 (x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - x*y + x*z + y*z)^2 \[LessSlantEqual]
   9 Sqrt[3] z], {x, -1, 2}, {y, -1, 2}, {z, -1, 2}]

and i get 2.4686
the right answer is

which is equal to 2.59376.
(Sqrt[(Sqrt[5]-1) 2]+ArcTan[Sqrt[(Sqrt[5]+1)/2]])*Pi/3//N
I tried to apply different methods manually to get a better result. But since this calculation is time-consuming. So I wonder : is there any way to calculate it / select the method efficiently?

A: Change to polar coordinates.
gl = (x + y - z)^4 + 4 (x^2 - x y + y^2 + x z + y z + z^2)^2 <=
9 Sqrt[3] z /. {x -> r Cos[phi] Sin[theta],
y -> r Sin[phi] Sin[theta], z -> r Cos[theta]} // Expand

and apply Reduce to see the structure with a litte trick
red41=Reduce[gl && r > 0 && 0 < phi < 2 Pi && 0 < theta < Pi, r,
Reals]//Simplify[#, r > 0 && 0 < phi < 2 Pi && 0 < theta < Pi] &;

red42 = red41 /. Root[__] -> root

(*   2 theta < \[Pi] && ((phi == \[Pi] &&
 r <= root) ||
(r <= root && (phi - \[Pi])/(2 \[Pi]) \[NotElement] Integers)) *}

It shows, r has to be integrated from 0 to the last root-term which is the surface of the inequation changed to an equation.
rr[phi_, theta_] =
   r /. Solve[Equal @@ gl, r, Reals][[2]] //
          Simplify[#, Cos[theta] != 0] &

By the way you get a fine Plot with
SphericalPlot3D[rr[phi, theta], {theta, 0, Pi/2}, {phi, 0, 2 Pi}]

Integration of r^3/3 over phi and the demanded theta < Pi/2 yields the desired result very fast.
NIntegrate[1/3 rr[phi, theta]^3*Sin[theta],
     {phi, 0, 2 Pi}, {theta, 0, Pi/2}]

{*   2.59376   *}

A: NIntegrate[
  Boole[(x + y - z)^4 + 4 (x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - x*y + x*z + y*z)^2 <=
    9 Sqrt[3] z], {x, -1, 2}, {y, -1, 2}, {z, -1, 2},
  Method -> "QuasiMonteCarlo", MaxPoints -> 1000000] // AbsoluteTiming

{0.286305, 2.58507}

A: Your limits of integration may be contributing to the inaccuracy.  When we use the SphericalPlot3D as suggested by @Akku14 and superpose a Cuboid that represents the original limits of integration, we see that two regions that are outside the limits.
Show[{SphericalPlot3D[rr[phi, theta],
   {theta, 0, Pi/2}, {phi, 0, 2 Pi},
   Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {X, Y, Z}],
  Graphics3D[{Opacity[4/5], Cuboid[{-1, -1, -1}, {2, 2, 2}]}]},
 ViewPoint -> 2 {-1, -1, 1}, Boxed -> True]

Adjusting the limits of integration based on the graphics, and using the Method suggested by @OkkesDulgerci gives
NIntegrate[
  Boole[(x + y - z)^4 +
     4 (x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - x*y + x*z + y*z)^2 \[LessSlantEqual]
    9 Sqrt[3] z], {x, -3/2, 3/2}, {y, -3/2, 3/2}, {z, -1, 2},
  Method -> "QuasiMonteCarlo", MaxPoints -> 10^6] // AbsoluteTiming

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County rose today for the eighth consecutive day, increasing four-tenths of a cent to $3.328.
The average price has risen 7 cents over the past eight days, including 1.1 cents on Thursday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. The increases follow an eight-day streak of decreases totaling 5 cents that dropped the average price to its lowest amount since Jan. 20, 2018.
The average price is 5.7 cents more than one week ago but 1.1 cents less than one month ago and 12.8 cents lower than one year ago.
The Orange County average price rose one-tenth of a cent to $3.299. It has risen seven of the past eight days, increasing 7.2 cents, including three-tenths of a cent on Thursday. The increases follow an eight-day streak of decreases totaling 5 cents that dropped the Orange County average price to its lowest amount since Jan. 20, 2018.
The Orange County average price is 4.8 cents more than one week ago and two-tenths of a cent higher than one month ago but 12.5 cents lower than one year ago.
The increasing prices are the result of supply concerns following a power outage at Chevron's El Segundo refinery after it was struck by lightning, according to Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.
"A Chevron spokesperson told Oil Price Information Service on Wednesday that the El Segundo refinery is still working to restore full capacity," Spring said.
