Eighteen months after the blackouts that prompted the Finkel Review of the national grid, energy security is a hot topic in the upcoming SA state election.
The people of SA want affordable, reliable power, and election promises are coming thick and fast to appeal to voters before they head to the polls.
Graham Davies, a former chair of Engineers Australia's Sustainable Engineering Society and current candidate for Nick Xenophon's SA-BEST party, is critical of the state government's track record in addressing energy security for the community.
Davies, a certified engineer who operates a clean energy consultancy, said the 2016 blackout highlighted a lack of government planning in spite of reports and proposals that could have made the National Electricity Market (NEM) more robust.
"The lack of planning is one of the key issues. Government has responded reactively, rather than proactively," he said.
As a result, the upcoming SA election could help make the case for energy security as a power player in future state and national elections.
Voters have picked up on these issues too, making them top of mind for many in the final lead-up to election day. The state's political parties have released, or are in the process of releasing, statements that include election promises of improved energy security.
Late last year, the Liberal opposition pledged to put in place a subsidised scheme for households wanting to install battery storage, as well as a $200 million fund to fast-track a new power interconnector between SA and NSW.
For their part, Labor recently unveiled a $2 million policy that promises to capitalise on the success of the Tesla Powerpack and create the nation's biggest 'virtual power plant' if elected in March.
Following Tesla's successful installation of the world's largest battery, which has had an impressive debut on the national grid, SA Premier Jay Weatherill plans to team up with Elon Musk's company a second time to install 5 kW solar systems paired with 5 kW/15 kWh Tesla Powerwall battery storage in 50,000 homes.
"We will use people's homes as a way to generate energy for the South Australian grid, with participating households benefiting with significant savings in their energy bills," Weatherill said.
As well as the $2 million in funding, Labor will kick in a $30 million loan from the Renewable Technology Fund. Installation will be free, but the households will not own the power generated. Instead, it will be sold back to them at a discounted rate of around 27c/kWh, undercutting the current average retail price by about 10c per kWh.
Davies himself decided to run as a candidate for the SA-BEST party to help "clean up politics" in relation to energy projects such as the microgrid at Coober Pedy which never went to tender. At the time of writing, the SA-BEST party was still developing its energy policy.
A recent report released by the Electricity Security Board (ESB) delved deeper into energy security concerns, stating the national grid is "not in the best of health". The report cites the symptoms of this malaise as rising electricity bills, increasing risks to power system reliability and uncertainty over future emissions policy.
The last symptom acts as a disincentive to energy investors, meaning new power stations might not come online in time to take up the load from coal-fired generators reaching the end of their lives.
Davies agreed that energy affordability has become a big issue. According to him, the reasons for price hikes in power bills are quite complex, but they're largely due to market manipulation and lack of competition.
"It is actually the distribution, the gold plating, which is a big part of the bill. We don't have a good picture of where the money is going," he said.
South Australia's efforts to improve energy security and get on the front foot has resulted in more investment for renewables.
The installation of the 129 MW Tesla battery was a good move, said Davies, as it provides fast frequency response, grid control and some storage. On the other hand, he cited the $360 million purchase of 276 MW (180 MW on a hot day) of gas and diesel generator capacity for emergency backup as a lack of foresight, because hiring this equipment could have been more economical.
On the sunny side, the South Australia Produce Market will invest $10.5 million to install 1600 solar panels and a 4.2 MWh lithium-ion battery. The project, which is set to be the largest private solar PV system in the state, will receive $2.5 million from the State Government Energy Productivity Program grant.
The state government will also fund the $650 million concentrated solar thermal (CST) 150 MW plant in Port Augusta, which was contracted last year to US company SolarReserve. Davies said having CST in SA's energy mix is absolutely essential, and credits the $110 million deal Xenophon struck in the senate with giving the Port Augusta project the necessary momentum.
"It ticks all the boxes: its dispatchable, solar, clean and geographically well placed," he said.
Four new pumped hydro energy storage projects have just received backing from the government as well. Located at reservoirs and disused mine sites near Whyalla, Port Augusta and Port Germein, they will add a projected 750 MW of generation capacity to the SA grid.
Another initiative is the market operator's demand management strategy, which pays residents and business to shut down for short periods when demand is high – a smart move, according to Davies. He also expressed qualified support for Labor's ambitious virtual power plant.
"One hundred 1 MW power stations are a lot more reliable than one 100 MW station, as you don't have all your eggs in one basket," he said.
Other areas of the ESB's report highlight unresolved issues that could hinder progress. For example, it suggests the National Energy Guarantee (NEG) will cure the uncertainty of Australian energy policy in the wake of the political 'climate wars'. But Davies said we need a policy that presents numbers, not adjectives, and provides a price on carbon not just for energy, but across the board.
"Until there is a genuine acceptance of the real risk of climate change by the Coalition, there won't be a real consensus. It's preferable to wait for that realisation rather than run with a poorly conceived policy that locks us in," he said.
Davies also says that the NEG is not really technology neutral. Findings of a recent analysis undertaken by the Australian Conservation Foundation indicate the NEG could penalise variable renewables, such as wind and photovoltaic solar, in favour of coal.
"Each technology should have the same reliability criteria if this system is to be implemented fairly, and not simply place the burden on renewables," Davies said.
With the big day just around the corner, it will be interesting to see if the issue of energy security is powerful enough to drive election results, as the choices here could influence energy policy in the state for years to come.

← Tuesday is Election Day – Be sure to Vote!
Art Gallegos has been the LAPD Senior Lead Officer (SLO) in our area — including all of Melrose Village west of La Brea Ave. (see the map below) — for many years. Art is being promoted to Sergeant, and we congratulate him for this.
However, due to this promotion, Art must transfer from the LAPD Wilshire Division to another LAPD division for at least a year. He may come back to the Wilshire Division in the future, but no longer as the Senior Lead Officer for Basic Car Aera 7A1.
Click on this map to see all of the LAPD Wilshire Division Basic Car areas.
Within the LAPD Wilshire Division there are nine Basic Car Areas. Each area represents a patrol area and a Senior Lead Officer (SLO) is assigned to each.The SLO coordinates patrol officers in his or her area, helping to find the best way to serve the area. Part of this is based on the SLO's being aware of activities and crimes in that area.
Until a permanent SLO is hired for our area, one-month officer assignments will be made. The LAPD hopes to hire a permanent SLO in the next two or three months, depending on applicants and factoring in the needs of our community.
For more information about the LAPD Wilshire Division go to their website — lapdwilshire.com. There is a tremendous amount of information there, including ideas on how to avoid being a victim of crime, and information about crimes in the area. You can also receive information on their Twitter feed.
Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Officer Art Gallegos. He more than deserves the promotion, and I am sure he will work with his replacement so that we are safe!
Wishing Officer Gallegos all the best with his promotion. He deserves it. He will be missed.

Above is an example of one of them--all of them are in the exact same format.
I need the same regression for them
I tried this:

dflist=list(cvx,csco,trv,unh,gs,nke,v,aapl,wba)

# for loop for normal returns
fama_summaries=list()
for (i in dflist){
  ri_rf = (i[,1]-i[,5])
  capm = (i[,2]-i[,5])
  fama=lapply(i,function(x) lm(ri_rf ~ smb + hml + capm, data =i))
  append(fama_summaries,values=summary(fama))
}

But I'm not getting any results. I need the summaries and the coefficients saved for each regression so I can use them later...
Can someone help me out?

Description of How Generational Differences Can Affect the Workplace
by Beth Greenwood
Millennials and Gen-Xers are two of the generations in today's workplace.
When you come to work each day, you may be greeted by a Millennial born between 1977 and 1997 with a tattoo on her wrist and a diamond stud in her nose, while you report to a workaholic baby boomer in a designer suit. The man in the next office has white hair and age-spotted hands while the one across the hall has teenage children. Each of those individuals brings a different perspective to the workplace.
In a nutshell, the stereotypes of each generation are just that – stereotypes. The most elderly employees, or Silent Generation, lived through WWII and Korea; they generally play by the rules and are conservative. Baby Boomers were born during and just after WWII; they are usually willing to work long hours and like clear goals. Gen-Xers, born after 1965, tend to be independent and value work-life balance. Millennials, the youngest group of workers, aged 35 or younger, are often multitasking techno-geeks who always have a finger on an electronic gadget of some sort. Although stereotypes can be helpful in illustrating the generations, each person is still an individual who can differ considerably from the stereotype.
Communication styles may vary between the generations, simply because Millennials have tools that didn't exist for older generations. A Silent worker is much less likely to communicate via text messages because she came to maturity when the telephone was becoming the norm. A Boomer may have a foot in each camp, and will use texting while preferring the telephone. Gen-Xers and Millenials may consider texting the norm, even if they work a few feet away from one another. As you work with people you will begin to identify their preferences – if you're not sure, ask them. You might be surprised when your older colleague asks you to send her a text -- or the recent college grad in the cubicle next door asks for a face-to-face meeting.
Supporting All Generations
In a supportive environment, each generation brings its unique strengths to the table to benefit of the entire organization. This sort of cross-generational fertilization requires an adroit manager who recognizes the talents of each group and is skilled at helping them learn from each other. Meetings may be less about jumping into a particular project and more about conversations that bring out the knowledge and experience of each generation as it relates to the project before each member of the team is assigned her piece.
Generational differences can lead to conflict because of the different perspectives and work styles of each generation. A Silent or Boomer who always works long hours may feel the "younger generation" isn't committed to the job, because Millennials often prefer to work hard, get the task completed, and then get some downtime before leaping into the next step. To reduce conflict, each must learn to value the accomplishments of the team and focus on the goals rather than the work hours.
Complexity has its Benefits
A multigenerational workplace increases the complexity of managing people and can present major challenges to the organization. For example, older workers may feel they are no longer valued due to an influx of Millennials or Gen-Xers. However, if you can keep all of your workers engaged, give each a voice, honor their contributions and promote innovation through diversity, you can develop a considerable business advantage -- and you might even have quite a bit of fun in the process.

Georgia can't find Senior Day opponent after Vanderbilt's double opt-out
Georgia coach Kirby Smart will not be happy to hear the Bulldogs were not able to find a replacement game.
Jeff Sentell / DawgNation
ATHENS — The Georgia football team learned on Wednesday there will be no regular-season finale, despite the program's last-ditch effort to make something happen.
The No. 8-ranked Bulldogs (7-2) were scheduled to play Vanderbilt (0-9) at Sanford Stadium at noon on Saturday in the season finale, but the Commodores opted out of the game for the second time in the last three weeks.
"It's one of those things, that's a lot out of our control and very little we can do about it," Georgia coach Kirby Smart told 680 The Fan radio on Tuesday. "I know DawgNation is disappointed
"I can promise your our seniors are terribly disappointed, but not a lot we can do right now but focus on the next day and the next minute."
UGA athletic director Greg McGarity, who correctly predicted two weeks ago when Vandy pulled out of the Dec. 5 game that the Commodores would do it again, worked to find a replacement game.
RELATED: 'Angry' Greg McGarity takes Vanderbilt to task for opt out
"While we conducted our due diligence in finding a replacement game, we were unable to make it happen," McGarity said in a release.
The AJC.com reported Georgia had talks with Colorado, Colorado State and New Mexico, along with other Group of 5 schools, but could not find an appropriate replacement opponent.
RELATED: Georgia is hunting for a new opponent after Vanderbilt opt-out
Georgia played just three home games this season and six games away from Sanford Stadium. That was in part a result of the current administration playing the designated home game with Florida in Jacksonville.
"We now focus on our upcoming bowl game," McGarity said.
The Bulldogs are currently protected to play Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta on Jan. 1, but there are ways that path could change.
Georgia will likely play Clemson in the Orange Bowl if:
• Alabama beats Florida in the SEC Championship Game
• Texas A&M beats Tennessee
• Notre Dame upsets Clemson in the ACC Championship Game
The Orange Bowl has tie-ins to take the highest-ranked ACC team that's not in the College Football Playoff, and the highest-ranked team from the pool of SEC and Big Ten teams not in the playoff.
The Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl are hosting the CFP semifinal games this season.
That leaves the Fiesta Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Peach Bowl as the three other New Year's Six Bowls that will choose from the eligible teams in the College Football Playoff Standings.
The pairings for those three bowls will be made by the College Football Playoff Committee.
The Vanderbilt cancellation has Georgia players and their families fuming. The Bulldogs are the only program in the SEC not to have a Senior Day to celebrate the outgoing players.
"We are also working on alternative ways to honor our senior class," McGarity said, "who deserve the opportunity to be celebrated as one of the most prolific classes in University of Georgia history."
The Bulldogs were set to honor 23 seniors, before the Vanderbilt football team announced it would not play in Athens as scheduled on Dec. 19.
The Georgia senior class (43-9) needed two more wins to become the winningest class in school history, but with Vanderbilt pulling out, that legacy is lost.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has not commented on the Commodores decision to cancel on Georgia for the Dec. 5 game, then play Tennessee in their Senior Day game on Dec. 12, before canceling again on the Dec. 19 game.
Had Vanderbilt provided more notice, Georgia would have had more time to find an alternate for Dec. 19.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. David Arnold composed the soundtrack, which was released on December 7, 2010 in the United States by Sony Classical.

The song "There's a Place for Us" by Carrie Underwood was nominated for Best Original Song at the 68th Golden Globe Awards.

Background
It was announced on October 9, 2007 that award-winning composer David Arnold would score the film with the themes composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (who scored The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian). It was Arnold's fourth collaboration with Apted after The World Is Not Enough, Enough and Amazing Grace. The second trailer for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader uses identical music to the trailer for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

As the previous films were distributed by Disney, the soundtracks for those films were released by Walt Disney Records.  However, this film was distributed by 20th Century Fox (which is now owned by Disney), and the soundtrack was released by Sony Music.

Recording

Score
Arnold worked with an 87-piece Orchestra and a 40-piece choir to record the score for the film. He also worked with Paul Apted (Michael Apted's son) in editing the score, remarking that it was "going to be epic.". Arnold chose not to collaborate with Lisbeth Scott, whose vocals are used to the first two films. He created specific themes for The Dawn Treader and Reepicheep. In order for the film to be consistent with the franchise, he chose to use the previous themes by Gregson-Williams for the opening and closing scenes, as well as for scenes featuring some recurring characters, such as Aslan.

The scoring sessions took place during September 2010 and were completed on October 8, 2010.

Songs
Carrie Underwood recorded a song entitled "There's a Place for Us", which she co-wrote with David Hodges and Hillary Lindsey, that was released on November 16, 2010 as a lead single and can only be purchased exclusive on iTunes.  It has sold 77,000 copies as of January 20, 2010 . This song was also covered by various artists for international releases of the film, including E.M.D., Xander de Buisonjé, Sergey Lazarev, Victoria S, Sonohra, and Joe McElderry, who released it as the b-track to his single "Someone Wake Me Up".

Sreeram Chandra recorded a song entitled "Rehnuma" in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu which was featured for the Indian release of the film. Australian singer Stan Walker also recorded an original song "Stand Up" for the film's Australian release.

Track listing

International versions

Reception

The soundtrack had met with generally favourable reviews from critics. Allmusic.com gave the soundtrack 3½ stars out of 5, saying
"Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third installment in Walden Media's popular Chronicles of Narnia series, features the work of Grammy Award-winning composer David Arnold (Casino Royale, Independence Day). Arnold, who has taken the reins from previous author Harry Gregson-Williams, incorporates many of the latter composer's main themes, which, when paired with Arnold's more frenetic, modern action cues, echo the third act's penchant for pure unadulterated fantasy. Arnold truly makes the score his own on the 11-minute "Into Battle" sequence, which boasts some truly impressive Wagnerian choral sections."

It's an option taken by a lot of successful people: Ernest Hemingway, Socrates, Jesus. Even before high school, I thought that it would be a cool thing to do if I ever got really famous. If I kept making my maps, for instance, and some art collector came across them and decided to make them worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if I killed myself at the height of that, they'd be worth millions of dollars, and I wouldn't be responsible for them anymore. I'd have left behind something that spoke for itself." ~ Ned Vizzini
37. "My brother,' Mortin says as Leidan shuffles away. 'So much potential, wasted.' He takes a swig of beer. I wonder whose potential he really thinks is wasted. I look through his upturned drink at the walls and ceiling. Things look sadder when glimpsed through alcohol." ~ Ned Vizzini

45. "Never go up against a Sicilian when death, is on the line.....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..........(thump)" ~ Ned Vizzini
46. "I can't eat and I can't sleep. I'm not doing well in terms of being a functional human, you know?" ~ Ned Vizzini
47. "That's worst than gonerreha, man!" ~ Ned Vizzini
48. "This was all an excuse, I think. I was doing fine. I had a 93 average and I was holding my head above water. I had good friends and a loving family. And because I needed to be the center of attention, because I needed something more, I ended up here, wallowing in myself, trying to convince everybody around me that I have some kind of. . . disease. I don't have any disease. I keep pacing. Depression isn't a disease. It's a pretext for being a prima donna. Everybody knows that. My friends know it; my principal knows it. The sweating has started again. I can feel the Cycling roaring up in my brain. I haven't done anything right. What have I done, made a bunch of little pictures? That doesn't count as anything. I'm finished. My principal just called me and I hung up on him and didn't call back. I'm finished. I'm expelled. I'm finished." ~ Ned Vizzini
49. "It's a huge thing, this Shift, just as big as I imagined. My brain doesn't want to think anymore; all of a sudden it wants to do." ~ Ned Vizzini
50. "Sometimes I just think depression's one way of coping with the world. Like, some people get drunk, some people do drugs, some people get depressed. Because there's so much stuff out there that you have to do something to deal with it." ~ Ned Vizzini

Eternium ist das dritte Studioalbum der finnischen Thrash-Metal-Band Diablo. Es erschien am 19. Januar 2004 über Poko Rekords und am 27. September 2004 über Drakkar Entertainment.

Entstehung und Hintergrund
Während des Songwritings für ihr neues Album legten die Musiker größeren Wert auf die Dynamik der Lieder. Um einen dunkleren Gesamtsound zu erhalten wurden die Gitarren auf B gestimmt. Sämtliche Titel wurden von Rainer Nygård & Marko Utriainen geschrieben. Die Aufnahmen fanden in den Fantom Studios in Tampere statt. Produziert wurde das Album von Samu Oittinen, Rainer Nygård & Marko Utriainen.

Als Gastsänger traten bei dem Lied Queen of Entity Jytt von der Band Pornorphans, Markku Kivistö von der Band Pain Confessor und "G" von der Band Rotten Sound auf. Das Lied Symbol of Eternity ist für Sänger Rainer Nygård ein Tribut an den Death-Sänger Chuck Schuldiner. Am Anfang des Liedes ist ein Sample des finnischen Volksliedes Rattaanpyörä in der Version von Reino Helismaa zu hören.

Für das Lied Read My Scars wurde ein Musikvideo gedreht. Am 27. September 2004 wurde das Album außerhalb Finnlands über Drakkar Entertainment veröffentlicht. Damit ist Eternium das erste Album der Band, welches außerhalb des Heimatlandes veröffentlicht wurde.

Titelliste

Rezeption

Detlef Dengler vom deutschen Magazin Metal Hammer bezeichnete Eternium als die "perfekte Symbiose aus traditionellem Thrash Metal wie Testament und Techno-Thrash Metal wie Coroner durchgeht, angereichert mit einem Schuss Soilwork und natürlich einer deftigen Brise Death", wofür er sechs von sieben Punkten vergab. Für Alex Straka vom Onlinemagazin Powermetal.de ist Eternium eine "glasklar und fett produzierte Scheibe mit fast ausschließlich erstklassigen Killertracks", die "im Zirkus der Großen einen Affentanz aufführen wird". David Gregori vom Onlinemagazin Metal.de bezeichnete Eternium als Killerscheibe, wegen der "oft eingeflochtenen Harmonien und Gitarrenläufe, die man sonst eher aus der Göteborger Melo-Death-Ecke gewohnt ist". Er bewertete das Album mit acht von zehn Punkten.

Sowohl das Album als auch die ausgekoppelte Single Read My Scars erreichten Platz drei der finnischen Charts. Außerhalb ihrer Heimat konnte das Album keine Chartplatzierung erreichen.

Street Art in Melbourne: An introduction to the city's graffiti culture
Trinity College Foundation Studieson July 7, 2015 /0 comments
STREET art might not be popular back home for some international students but in Melbourne, it's a thriving cultural scene. Trinity College Foundation Studies students Melvia Khusbin, Vicky Xie and Tina Yao explore Melbourne and find their favourite graffiti spots around town.
Photo: Tina Yao
The urban jungle of Melbourne offers plenty of sights and sounds for those new to the city but not many cities treat graffiti the way Melbourne does. Often considered an eyesore in some countries, Melbourne embraces street art as a means for people to creatively express themselves using an alternative canvas.
For some international students, it's a new experience altogether to see graffiti not as vandalism but as a means of creativity. And if you walk around long enough, you're guaranteed to find locations with interesting murals.
Hosier Lane and Rutledge Lane, located close to Federation Square, have awesome works of graffiti and are usually cited as 'must-visit' locales for local residents and tourists alike, especially those who might be photographers.
Those looking to find street art outside of the CBD can also find some great work done in Melbourne's hipster suburb of Fitzroy, particularly at the Rose Car Park.
Here you'll find imagery inspired by popular film characters, political commentary and other pop culture musings.
Additionally, The City of Melbourne has acknowledged these two lanes (and several other lanes throughout the city) carry the spirit and essence of Melbourne's graffiti scene; further championing the city's beloved arts culture.
While international students and new visitors of the city now enjoy the vibrant images before them, street art in Melbourne wasn't always like this.
One street artist we spoke with says that the city has taken great strides to change the perception of graffiti. Twenty years ago, it wouldn't have been as celebrated as it is now.
Where are your favourite street art locations? Do you enjoy street art in Melbourne? Should there be street art like this back in your home country? Why or why not? Sound off in the comments section below!
This story was produced by Media and Communication students at Trinity College Foundation Studies as part of Meld's community newsroom collaboration. Education institutions, student clubs/societies and community groups interested in being involved can get in touch us via meld@meldmagazine.com.au.

Make Sienna my Bond girl, says new 007
Last updated at 09:35 01 January 2006
New James Bond actor Daniel Craig is risking another falling-out with film star Jude Law by urging producers to cast Sienna Miller as his new love interest in the next 007 movie.
He has insisted Sienna, his sultry co-star in Layer Cake, is "perfect" for the role of Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale which stars filming next month.
A source revealed: "He feels they've got great on-screen chemistry and is convinced that although she is not a huge international name she'd be the perfect Bond girl."
Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson have already turned down the role.
Now Craig's insistence on Sienna could cause friction with Law, one of his closest friends.
Back in October, Law, who has admitted sleeping with his child's nanny, was furious to learn Sienna had had a two-week fling with Craig. Law is said to have thrown Sienna out of his £4million home.
Last month Sienna said she wouldn't be a Bond girl but qualified that by adding: "I don't know if Daniel Craig would talk to the producers about it."

For perspective, Simon & Garfunkel had split in 1970 and each had been dodging questions about a reunion. Totally able to relate, John Lennon and The Beatles had also gone separate ways. Each of the musicians had been experiencing serious musical differences with their originating bands. The 17th Grammy Awards were held in 1975 and the iconic duo were prepared with some heavy-hitting jokes regarding solo careers and interpersonal relationships.
Paul and John announce all of the nominees for Record of The Year (Elton John, Roberta Flack, Joni Mitchell, Olivia Newton John, and Maria Muldaur) by playfully making fun of each musician. Yet, the winner was not in house. Olivia Newton John won the award that night and Art Garfunkel was there to accept the Grammy on her behalf. This was one of the first times Art and Paul were publicly together since their split, 5 years earlier.
Art Garfunkel, in a full glitzed out tuxedo shirt, was not feeling as humorous as Paul and John. John starts out with "Are you guys ever getting back together again?" While Paul chimes in with with "I thought I told you to wait in the car?"– to a not so cheerful Art.
The audience is stupefied in laughter. Whether planned or not, the jokes were so witty and so relevant to the times. This was back when the Grammy Awards had a real sense of humor… and music. Judging by those in attendance and the great year in music, the 17th Annual Grammy Awards might have been the best year for the revered award show.

Q: How to minimize compilation time in C++ I've coded an script that generates a header file with constants like version, svn tag, build number. Then, I have a class that creates a string with this information.
My problem is the following: As the file is created in every compilation, the compiler detects that the header has changed, and forces the recompilation of a large number of files. I guess that the problem is in the situation of the header file. My project is a library and header has to be in the "interface to the world" header file (it must to be public).
I need some advice to minimize this compilation time or to reduce the files forced to recompile.

A: Generate the constants in the implementation file.
Make sure the header doesn't get changed by your script.

A: The easiest way to solve this is to not make those constants in a header file.  Instead, make functions in the header file which get these values.  Then place the values themselves in a small cpp file which implements those functions.  (Or place them in a header ONLY included in that cpp file).  When you recompile, only that one file will need to be recompiled.
Also, you could look in to distcc to speed up compilation if you have a few machines to spare.

A: If you're using gcc, you can try using ccache. it caches object files based on a hash of the preprocessed output, so will not recompile unless an actual change occured

A: Another way is to declare the constant values like extern const double PI; in your a header like "my_constants.h" and add one cpp file to the project with contents like:
#include "my_constants.h"

const double PI = 3.1415926535;

Then the actual values will only be compiled once, and changing a value only requires compiling that single file and linking the project again.

A: In the header write something like:
extern const char *VERSION;
extern const char *TAG;
extern const char *BUILD_DATE;

and create a .c (or .cpp) file that will contain
const char *VERSION = "0.13";
const char *TAG = "v_0_13";
const char *BUILD_DATE = "2011-02-02 11:19 UTC+0100";

If your script updates the .c file, only that file will have to be recompiled, but the files that include your header won't.

A: If you want to keep it as a single public header, you could add a pre-build step that takes your public header file and

*

*filters out the version details, either removing them or replacing them with a fixed string, to a temp copy of the file

*moves this to an internal version of your header only if it has changed, i.e. don't copy the file (+ update the timestamp) unless something other than the version has changed

then build your precompiled headers from this internal header file. You can still use the public header with the version details for the source files that need the version.
There's a moveifchanged script in the GCC sources you can borrow for this if you're on unix, or you can rig something up using fc in a batch file on Windows.

A: Object oriented solution:
Generally, you should put those often refreshed cnstants to cpp file, not h. Put them for example into a class. If you already have a class which creates a string of them and publish this by a method, I'd put all those constants to the same cpp and added some public methods to access them from other source files.


Let me introduce you to Amy Krome. K-R-O-M-E 'like krome-on-a-car'. Readers who knew Ron Krome will recognize this greeting. For those who didn't know Ron, he was one of the key founders of emergency medicine, serving as president of ACEP, ABEM, and UA/EM. He was the editor-in-chief of JACEP and Annals of Emergency Medicine and he mentored many, many emergency physicians along the way. Amy is his daughter.
In early September, as this edition of EPM is hitting mailboxes, Amy Krome will take off on a one-woman bike ride – dubbed "Angel on the Move" – in support of Soldiers' Angels. After the events of 9/11, Amy wanted to do something to 'give back', but her disability of cerebral palsy made it difficult to find the best niche. In Soldiers' Angels – a non-profit known for sending hundreds of thousands of letters and care packages to soldiers – Amy found a good match for her abilities and interests.
Soldiers' Angels provides aid and comfort to men and women deployed or wounded in the US Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard; their families; and veterans. The group raises funds and provides many types of supports such as voice-controlled/adaptive laptops for the wounded, and care packages with essential and comforting items to the deployed and their families. "Operation TOPKNOT" sets up virtual baby showers for pregnant women when their spouse is deployed. "Women of Valor" provides support to women caregivers of wounded, ill and injured service members. Holidays can be emotionally and financially stressful, and Soldiers' Angels provides a framework for individuals or groups to 'adopt' a military family during the holidays.
Angel on the Move is Amy's original fundraising idea for Soldiers' Angels and it is the first such ride organized for the group. Amy's desire was to show wounded warriors that "no matter what physical handicaps they have, they could put their mind to it and do whatever they wanted." Amy says, "I don't like to be told I can't! I love the shock and awe factor that comes from trying!" Amy's fundraising goal is $3000.
After several years attempting to raise funds for a special bicycle with which to do the ride – which will cover a 10-mile track in Lexington, KY – Tim Kotulak and a group of friends who knew Ron Krome in Michigan, stepped in. Their group, called Miles for Medics, created a crowd-funding campaign to purchase the bicycle. When the editors here at Emergency Physicians Monthly got wind of the project, we were proud to join forces and get Amy her bicycle!
Just as many of us know Ron and Amy, I'll bet that most of us have a family member, colleague, friend, or acquaintance who has a disability. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As doctors in a physically active specialty, we don't often think of the ADA and the positive effects it has had. The ADA mandated equal access to employment, public accommodations and government programs for those with physical or mental impairment. Besides the environmental, professional, financial and legal tools the ADA provides, it has a much deeper effect. It's about welcoming, helping, and providing a sense of belonging and accomplishment to all those with unusual abilities.
We wish Amy all the best on her ride, and in her continued support of veterans. Click here to read more about her ride and fundraising campaign.

Rabbit Cake by Annie Hartnett (debut)
Publisher: Tin House Books
Single Sentence Summary: After a young mother drowns while sleepwalking, her very quirky family is left trying to build a life without the very core of their existence.
Primary Characters: Elvis – Elvis is the 12-year old narrator of Rabbit Cake. She's looking back on the two years since her mother died and relating all that has happened to her family in that time. Lizzie – Troubled older sister, Lizzie was 15 at the time of her mother's death, and like her mom, is also a sleepwalker. Dad – Suddenly thrust into the role of single parent, he has a stiff learning curve to overcome. Dad copes with his sadness in unusual ways.
Synopsis: In Rabbit Cake, Elvis, an endearing, intelligent, precocious 12-year, tells the story of her family's grief with laughter and honesty. She has good material to work with because everyone in her world is a little nuts! Even her mother wasn't beyond examination. Why had a brilliant scientist been willing to move to Freedom, Alabama? And, just what had she been doing in a shipping crate with the school's speech therapist? Her father copes with his grief by wearing his late wife's lipstick and silk bathrobe. Her school counselor kindly maps out Elvis's mourning on an 18-month time schedule. Most concerning of all is her sister, Lizzie. Lizzie, also a sleepwalker, has had increasingly worse episodes since their mother's death. The neighbors think a fox is responsible for eating all the eggs in their chicken coop, but no. It's Lizzie. And then, there are the rabbit cakes. Thousands of rabbit cakes!
Review: I loved Rabbit Cake! Annie Hartnett's debut is a completely delightful book and I'll be recommending it highly, but first we need to talk about the elephant in the room, The Sleepwalker by Chris Bohjalian. (My review) These two books, purely by coincidence, have remarkably similar premises. In both, the mother has a long history of sleepwalking, causing concern to her family. She disappears and is assumed to have drown in the nearby river, where her body is later found. Both books have two daughters, one of whom is also a sleepwalker. In each a daughter tries desperately to figure out what "really" happened to her mother. Have no fear if you've already read The Sleepwalker because despite all these commonalities, Rabbit Cake is a story like no other. (Honestly, I liked this one a lot more!)
Everything about this story just worked. For a book where a death occurs in the first twenty pages, Rabbit Cake was remarkably fun. The quirks of this grieving family kept a serious story light-hearted, and the telling through the eyes of a wise, but still 12-year old narrator, was a brilliant move by Hartnett. Elvis had been a keen observer of her mother and after losing her, Elvis's watchfulness shifts to her father and sister. Her dad is wearing make-up and has adopted a talking McCaw that he treats almost like a partner. Her sister Lizzie has been suspended from school and is in danger of being committed to get her sleepwalking under control. Meanwhile, Elvis keeps plugging away trying to hold her family together. Oh yeah, then there are the rabbit cakes. Lots and lots of rabbit cakes!
"I turned eleven, and there was no rabbit cake for the first year ever. I waited for Dad to say something that morning, but he went to work with the parrot dressed in his new tiny sweater, his wings poking out through the sleeves. Dad wiped off his lipstick before he left the house, using some of Mom's cold cream. I felt sadder and lonelier than I ever had before."
I don't know exactly how to classify Rabbit Cake; it's in part a coming-of-age story, part dark humor, part tragedy, but above it all is a fantastic glimpse into a family's love. Annie Hartnett has managed to create a truly original story delivered by a narrator with her own unique voice. This is a book that you won't be able to put down and that you'll be happy you read. It's a feel good book! I know that I'll be eagerly snapping up the next book by Annie. Grade: A-
If you liked this book you might also enjoy:
The Death of Bees by Lisa O'Donnell – This story also has two sister's trying to get by, but here it's after the mysterious death of both their parents.
Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley – Another book with quirky characters and a serious topic dealt with through a lot of humor. (My review)
Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt – A more serious look at a 14-year old trying to understand the circumstances of her favorite uncle's death.

VISIT THE OFFICIAL "OFF THE HOOK" PAGE - AT ANIMAL PLANET'S WEBSITE
Showtime Eric Young, an avid yet novice outdoorsman and professional wrestler, is getting out of the ring and turning in his tights for some tackle. He's on the adventure of a lifetime to hear, smell and taste big and small stories of the one that got away. All across America, some fisherman go to extremes to haul in their catch – from using pantyhose on a rod and reel to catch sharks in the Atlantic Ocean to launching live bait with fire extinguishers on Lake Michigan – and Young will try his hand at all of them. Using all sorts of unique bait, tackle, poles and transportation (and a little SPF), he is aiming to be the makeshift MacGyver of fishing while learning the best and most unique techniques this country has to offer!
"As an adrenaline junkie, when I come home after a hard day's work, I like to kick back and enjoy some fishing," says Young. "But in OFF THE HOOK, this is hardly relaxing because I'm setting out to do some of the world's wildest, craziest fishing techniques. But I'm up for trying anything once!"

Rudolf Steiner seldom spoke of himself in a personal way, but in his Autobiography we are offered a rare glimpse into some of the most intimate aspects of his inner life, his personal relationships, and significant events that helped to shape the philosopher, seer, and teacher he became.This edition restores the original format of seventy chapters, just as they were written for the Goetheanum weekly newsletter. This autobiography is not merely a narrative of Rudolf Steiner's successes and failures, but the story of a soul possessed of a precise, probing scientific mind and a natural clairvoyant ability to see into the spiritual world. Although naturally clairvoyant, Steiner always recognized the integrity and importance of modern scientific methods, and thus he developed a modern discipline he named Anthroposophy, or spiritual science.During the century that followed the events recorded in this autobiography, Rudolf Steiner's insights have touched and enriched numerous areas of life in ways that continue to transform peoples lives in the twenty-first century.This illustrated, revised, updated, and expanded edition was the first volume to be released in The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner. This series will eventually collect all of the English translations of Rudolf Steiner's works-including many never before in English-into an attractive and uniform set of his written and spoken words.


In this UFPS tutorial we'll take a look at how to import animations that we've created within Blender and edit them to be used within UFPS. For this tutorial we'll be sticking with just a reload animation as the concept for adding other animations is exactly the same.
The rigged mesh will be exported from Blender as an FBX file then imported into Unity.After some quick adjustments to the import settings we'll then jump into the rig and animations section.
UFPS uses Legacy animations so we'll be setting the rig type to Legacy as opposed to "Generic" or "Humanoid" which are both Mecanim capable. Once you've selected Legacy you can then save your changes and you'll notice that the prefab now has an animation component applied to it rather than an animator component.
We'll take a look at the animation section and since the animation clip does not require any trimming we'll just play it using the preview button at the bottom.
We'll quickly setup our Advanced Player then insert the animation clip into the appropriate reload slot. Make sure you delete the "reload state" otherwise you'll have both the reload state and animation play simultaneously.
If your mesh is too big for your advanced player you can adjust the size of it. Make sure you adjust the position of the mesh as well so it looks appropriate for the character. Once you've added the reload animation you'll notice a sound clip along with a slot for the timing of the reload animation.
It'll be set to 1 for one second and determines how quickly the reload function is "played" and has nothing to do with the actual animation. The animation being used in this video is set to just under 1 second long so it should be fine. If you need to increase or decrease the reload length in this slot adjust it so it matches your animation.
It has more to do with the reload function adjusting the ammo count. Now start playing the game, pick up some ammo and press "r" on the keyboard to reload and you should see your reload animation playing.
Done! now you should have a good understanding of how to use animations within UFPS.The concept is the same for all other animation types including the "ambient" animation slots which is just an idle animation essentially.

Q: Homework assignment: Hangman I'm doing a homework assignment and have to make a working hangman application.
I got most of it working but I want to do something and can't quite figure out how to do it.
What I want to do:
There is a string named $string, which contains the random word from a wordlist. When I start hangman i want to display "*" for every character in the random word.
Secondly I want to concat the "*" with the true character value when it's guessed by the player.
So if the word is "Hello" I want to display "*****" and when someone guesses a letter, "l", it will display "**ll*".
What i've tried:
Substring Replacement - http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html
tr (in a couple of formats, didn't really understand how to use that, correctly. I tied the [CHAR*REPEAT] but keep getting errors)
And searched a lot of websites, but most hits were about concatting 1 specific char not all the chars in the string.
Could you please help me understand?

A: bash's parameter expansion and pattern matching will do:
$ string="hello world"
$ guess=""
$ echo "${string//[^[:space:]$guess]/*}"
***** *****

$ guess+="l"
$ echo "${string//[^[:space:]$guess]/*}"
**ll* ***l*

$ guess+="o"
$ echo "${string//[^[:space:]$guess]/*}"
**llo *o*l*

A: If you have a list of guessed characters and your string, you can mask it by telling tr to replace everything except the guessed characters, spaces and linefeeds by "*":
guessed="etaonris"
string="doing a homework assignment"
masked=$(tr -c "\n $guessed" "*" <<< "$string")
echo "$masked"

This gives you *oin* a *o*e*or* assi*n*ent.

In the various writings on occult subjects, it has been stated that unselfishness is a sine qua non for success in occultism. Or a more correct form of putting it would be that the development of an unselfish feeling is in itself the primary training which brings with it 'knowledge which is power' as a necessary accessory. It is not, therefore, 'knowledge,' as ordinarily understood, that the occultist works for, but it comes to him as a matter of course, in consequence of his having removed the veil which screens true knowledge from his view. The basis of knowledge exists everywhere, since the phenomenal world furnishes or rather abounds with facts, the causes of which have to be discovered. We can see only the effects in the phenomenal world, for each cause in that world is itself the effect of some other cause, and so on; and therefore, true knowledge consists in getting at the root of all phenomena, and thus arriving at a correct understanding of the primal cause, the 'rootless root,' which is not an effect in its turn. To perceive anything correctly, one can use only those senses or instruments which correspond to the nature of that object. Hence, to comprehend the noumenal, a noumenal sense is a pre-requisite; while the transient phenomena can be perceived by senses corresponding to the nature of those phenomena.
Occult Philosophy teaches us that the seventh principle is the only eternal Reality, while the rest, belonging as they do to the 'world of forms' which are non-permanent, are illusive in the sense that they are transient. To these is limited the phenomenal world which can be taken cognisance of by the senses corresponding to the nature of those six principles. It will thus be clear that it is only the seventh sense, which pertains to the noumenal world, that can comprehend the Abstract Reality underlying all phenomena. As this seventh principle is all-pervading, it exists potentially in all of us; and he who would arrive at true knowledge has to develop that sense in him, or rather, he must remove those veils which obscure its manifestation. All sense of personality is limited only to these lower six principles, for the former relates only to the 'world of forms.' Consequently, true 'knowledge' can be obtained only by tearing away all the curtains of Maya raised by a sense of personality before the impersonal Atma. It is only in that personality that is centred selfishness, or rather, the latter creates the former and vice versa, since they mutually act and react upon each other. For, selfishness is that feeling which seeks after the aggrandisement of one's own egotistic personality to the exclusion of others. If, therefore, selfishness limits one to narrow personalities, absolute knowledge is impossible so long as selfishness is not got rid of. So long, however, as we are in this world of phenomena, we cannot be entirely rid of a sense of personality, however exalted that feeling may be in the sense that no feeling of personal aggrandisement or ambition remains.
We are, by our constitution and state of evolution, placed in the 'World of Relativity,' but as we find that impersonality and non-duality is the ultimate end of cosmic evolution, we have to endeavour to work along with Nature, and not place ourselves in opposition to its inherent impulse which must ultimately assert itself. To oppose it must necessitate suffering, since a weaker force, in its egotism, tries to array itself against the universal law. All that the occultist does is to hasten this process, by allowing his Will to act in unison with Cosmic Will or the Demiurgic Mind, which can be done by successfully checking the vain attempt of personality to assert itself in opposition to the former. And since the MAHATMA is but an advanced occultist, who has so far controlled his 'lower self' as to hold it more or less in complete subjection to the Cosmic impulse, it is in the nature of things impossible for him to act in any other but an unselfish manner. No sooner does he allow the 'personal Self' to assert itself, than he ceases to be a MAHATMA. Those, therefore, who being still entangled in the web of the delusive sense of personality. charge the MAHATMAS with 'selfishness' in withholding 'knowledge' - do not consider what they are talking about.
The Law of Cosmic evolution is ever operating to achieve its purpose of ultimate unity and to carry the phenomenal into the noumenal plane, and the MAHATMAS, being en rapport with it, are assisting that purpose. They therefore know best what knowledge is best for mankind at a particular stage of its evolution, and none else is competent to judge of that matter, since they alone have got to the basic knowledge which can determine the right course and exercise proper discrimination. And for us who are yet struggling in the mire of the illusive senses to dictate what knowledge MAHATMAS shall impart to us and how they shall act, is like a street-boy presuming to teach science to Professor Huxley or politics to Mr. Gladstone. For, it will be evident that, as soon as the least feeling of selfishness tries to assert itself, the vision of the spiritual sense, which is the only perception of the MAHATMA, becomes clouded and he loses the 'power' which abstract 'knowledge' alone can confer. Hence, the vigilant watch of the 'Will' we have constantly to exercise to prevent our lower nature from coming up to the surface, which it does in our present undeveloped state; and thus extreme activity and not passivity is the essential condition with which the student has to commence. First his activity is directed to check the opposing influence of the 'lower self;' and, when that is conquered, his untrammelled Will centred in his higher (real) 'self,' continues to work most efficaciously and actively in unison with the cosmic ideation in the 'Divine Mind.'
The Theosophist
H. P. Blavatsky
Bombay, 1884
There is one general law of life, but innumerable laws qualify and determine the myriads of forms perceived and of sounds heard. There are those who are willingly and others who are unwillingly - blind.
