Searls as counsel for plaintiff, was tried before judge Stoddard at Brooklyn in May, 1885, before Judge Phelps in November of the same year, and before Judge Andrews in September, 1886, who rejected important evidence which the supreme court in March, 1887, at Hartford, decided was an error, and ordered a new trial before Chief Justice Park at Brooklyn in October, 1887, which resulted in judgment for the plaintiff, and the defendants were compelled to pay damages for cutting his valuable timber.

Q: find the nth root using binary search algorithm using C double x;
size_t n;
double precision;

double high = x < 1.0 ? 1.0 : x;
double min = 0.0;
double unknown = //idk??

double eps = 1e-6;

double multiply(double number, int n) {
    double ans = 1.0;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        ans = ans * number;
    }
    return ans;
}

while (precision < error) {
    while ((high - min) > eps) {
        double old = (min + high) / 2.0;
        if(multiply(old, n) < unknown) {
            min = old;
        } else {
            high = old;
        }
    }
}

printf("%f", unknown);

Trying to find the nth root using binary search algorithm. Can someone spot any logic errors that is keeping my code from working? Appreciated.

A: Here is your code cleaned up. The outer loop isn't needed. It doesn't work with negative numbers; I did not drill into why. I did not change your 'multiply' function so its not here
int main() {

    double x = 42; // number we want the root of
    size_t n = 2;  // the root we want

    // squeeze boundaries
    double high = x < 1.0 ? 1.0 : x;
    double min = 0.0;
    double eps = 1e-6; // how tight we want to squeeze the answer

    int iterations = 0; // count of iterations for interest
    double guess = 0;   // our current guess at the root

    while ((high - min) > eps) {
        iterations++;
        guess = (min + high) / 2.0;
        double guessPow = multiply(guess, n);
        if (guessPow < x) {
            min = guess;
        }
        else {
            high = guess;
        }
    }
    printf("%f %d %f", x, iterations, guess);

}

the core logic is still yours, so you should fix it so that cube root of -8 comes out as -2.

A: You can try this method :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

double nth_root(double d, int n) {
    double x = d; // guess greater than result
    for (; x - .001 > (x -= (pow(x, n) - d) / (n * pow(x, n - 1))););
    return x;
}

// using Newton's method
int main(void) {
    for (int i = 1; i < 10; ++i) {
        double n = 625;
        double a = pow(n, 1. / i); // C answer
        double b = nth_root(n, i); // your answer
        printf("nth_root(%g, %d) = %-9g (found %-9g, diff is %.15f)\n", n, i, a, b, b - a);
    }
}

If you need a pow function :
double my_pow(double n, unsigned long long int power) {
    if (power) {
        double tmp = 1;
        for (; power > 1; n *= n)
            if (power & 1) {
                tmp *= n;
                power = (power - 1) >> 1;
            } else
                power >>= 1;
        n *= tmp;
    } else
        n = 1;
    return n;
}

Low-Tech Cameras; Fine Art, Or Just Plain Fun
Steve Anchell | Jul 1, 2009
Low-tech cameras, a.k.a. toy cameras, a.k.a. plastic cameras, a.k.a. "you can't be serious" cameras, have been around for a very long time. The first one to seize the imagination of fine art photographers was the Diana camera. First made in Hong Kong circa the 1960s, the Diana gained legitimacy in '80 when The Friends of Photography, a not-for-profit founded by Ansel Adams and his associates in Carmel, California, held a group show of work exclusively made with the camera. The Diana, which originally sold for less than $10, had already ceased being made at the time of the show. Even so, the legend of the Diana continues to this day, and no other low-tech camera has quite captured the imagination of "toy camera" devotees. (A working replica, the Diana+, is now available.)
The Diana camera was the first low-tech camera to be widely adopted by fine art photographers. Although the original Diana camera is no longer being made, a working replica, with more features than the original (such as pinhole capability), is available in the US from Freestyle Photographic Supplies. The model shown here is the Diana F+, which includes an integral flash. (Below): Red Ride, 1983. This is one of my first images made with a Diana camera in 1983 recorded on Ektachrome color transparency film. The image is reproduced full frame. The light areas which surround the image are caused by light leaks. At the time I did not know to use tape in order to prevent this.

Low-tech cameras are for everyone, effectively bridging the gap between film and digital photographers. They are the one camera any photographer can use to improve their vision while having fun—that elusive activity which got us into photography in the first place.
There is almost nothing you will ever do that will improve your ability to see more than a low-tech camera. A point-'n-click, as I call them, these photographic tools do nothing except record what you see. There is no auto white balance, exposure compensation, aperture priority, Program mode, auto advance, no histogram…no nothin'. Just you and your subject. To zoom in you walk closer, to zoom out you lean backward. Autoexposure is "click." You are automatically exposed correctly or automatically exposed incorrectly. What this means is that the success of your image is largely dependent on the strength of your composition.
But wait, I hear you cry, "I don't develop film! What good does it do me to make good compositions if I can't get them out of the camera?" There are two ways to use low-tech cameras which do not require you to develop film. The first is to use color negative film which can be taken to any one-hour lab for development. If you prefer black and white you can use Ilford XP2 chromogenic film, which comes in 35mm and 120 sizes. This, too, can be developed at a one-hour photo lab. In both cases you can have the lab provide you with scans on a disk, or you can scan the prints or original negatives yourself. Another method is to use the 120 format Holga camera with the optional Holgaroid instant film back that uses Fujifilm FP-100C instant film.
Holga Cameras
The Holga is probably the most well-known low-tech camera currently available. Using ancient methods of design and construction, the Holga camera company has been producing their plastic cameras since '82. Originally the Holga was meant to be an inexpensive mass-market camera for consumption in China. However, the vignetting, blurring, and other distortions caused by its single meniscus lens, and light leaks which result from ill-fitting parts, create a unique identity for each camera often prized and praised by those fine art photographers who use the camera.
(Above): The Holga 120FN has a built-in flash above the lens, guaranteed to create stunning redeye effects with color film. (Below): Helter Skelter, 1991, Maine. This photo by Michelle Bates (www.michellebates.com) was made with a Holga camera.

You'll want to check out the Holgawood collection. What makes Holgawoods special is that they come in 10 different colors and are named after famous Hollywood icons and include a collectible story card to go along with each name. For example, there is a blue Holgawood, which is known as the Blooze Brothers, and a white Holgawood known as Casablanco. If the bug has bitten you, there is a boxed collection of all 10 available!
There are 35mm and 120 Holga cameras available. The 120 Holgas come with two plastic masks to create either 6x4.5cm or 6x6cm images. You can extend the versatility, as well as the number of single images made by the 120 Holga, by adding a 35mm film adapter kit or a fisheye lens.
Lomographic Society Cameras
If you wanna act foolish, use the Holga. If you wanna go crazy, then you need a Lomographic camera—any Lomographic camera. The original Lomo LC-A Compact Automat camera was made by the former state-run optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of St. Petersburg, Russia. This camera made its first appearance in the '80s and was loosely based upon the Cosina CX-1. The design was picked up by an Austrian firm which continued to make the LC-A until 2005 when they replaced it with the LC-A+, made in China instead of Russia.
The Lomo Action Sampler 2.0 takes four photographs on one piece of film with a single press of the shutter release.
In order to foster their own unique approach to photography, which could be best described as photographic anarchy, the Austrian-based Lomo camera company established the ubiquitous Lomographic Society, which encompasses and encourages the use of all low-tech cameras, not just their own. The motto of the Society is "don't think, just shoot" which presumes spontaneity while de-emphasizing formal technique. Indeed the hallmark of Lomo-style photos are oversaturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing.
Peek a boo, Mexico, 2007. This photo by Lajos Major (a.k.a. LOMOman, www.lajosmajor.com) of Hungary was made with a Lomo LC-A camera.

Anyone can join the Lomographic Society by enrolling on their website, www.lomography.com. Once you become a member you can join the worldwide community that includes thousands of photographers who share their low-tech images on the Society's website and compete in online competitions. In no time at all you will be as weird and wacky as the rest of the Society members.

Committee chair Neil Parish MP said: "Food waste has grotesque economic, social and environmental costs. Economically, food waste costs households hundreds of pounds a year and causes increased disposal costs to local authorities, pushing up council tax bills".
Parish commended Tesco for publishing food waste data and Sainsbury's for looking to follow suite but feels the government needs to step in to ensure other retailers move in the same direction.
"The FPA agrees with the overall conclusion of the EFRA Inquiry: food waste is a scandal," Martin Kersh, the Foodservice Packaging Association's executive director. "We also welcome many of the recommendations contained within the report but feel the report's headlines overly focuses attention on supermarkets and the hospitality and foodservice sectors whereas it is clear the greatest opportunities for reducing food waste exist within households accounting for 71% of food waste.

Doctors prescribe medicine of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of which they know nothing.
Physician - One upon whom we set our hopes when ill and our dogs when well.
Happiness? That's nothing more than good health and a poor memory.
Barn-yard medicine has not given us any vaccination procedure that really protects against illness, but many that endanger the body, that even bring death.
The prerequisite for today's medical policy is naturally the currently predominant system of medicine. The sick are the source of income, therefore it is necessary for sick people to be there, yes, it proves advantageous if one makes the people artificially sick.
When oestrogen first became available for clinical use, there was an understandable over-enthusiasm for its application... If one depends on the beautifully embossed brochures which exhort the practitioner with every mail one falls, unhappily, into the security of the illusion that there are neither contra-indications nor side-effects in the use of estrogen.
Vaccination also causes leukemia to break out.
When will they realize that there are too many drugs? No fewer than 150,000 preparations are now in use. About 15,000 new mixtures and dosages hit the market each year, while about 12,000 die off...We simply don't have enough diseases to go around. At the moment the most helpful contribution is the new drug to counteract the untoward effect of other new drugs.
After a 20-year study, Dr. Kempe [Dr. Charles Henry Kempe, University of Colorado] recommends abolishing smallpox vaccination. Since 1948 there have been no deaths from smallpox in the United States. In the same period more than 300 persons have died from smallpox vaccinations, including vaccine-induced encephalitis.
... 61 percent of all deformities in new-born infants and 88 percent of all stillbirths must be attributed to the effects of medicaments.
Thalidomide is not the first nor the last drug to have brought heartbreak where it was meant to bring help. There have been quite a number of other tragedies since Thalidomide went wrong 13 years ago.
Millions of people have been vaccinated with the polio vaccine, which contains the cancer-forming SV-40 virus originally found in monkeys. It is possible that it will take 20 years or still longer before the possible damaging effects of this virus come to light.
Every month, millions are in fact being damaged by treatment which is supposed to be helping them.
Ivan Illich (medical historian), on Swiss television, Lugano, 1975.
The medical establishment has become the major threat to health.
A new U.S. study challenges claims made for the last 35 years that women can prevent breast cancer by regularly taking estrogen pills.... the report seems to indicate the drug actually may cause the disease.... Physicians have been prescribing estrogen for an estimated 5 million to 6 million middle-aged women in the United States alone.
The oil lobby, perhaps the most powerful lobby on earth, is almost matched by hospital owners and doctors.
The public is surely entitled to convincing proof, beyond all reasonable doubt, that artificial immunization is in fact a safe and effective procedure, in no way injurious to health, and that the threat of the corresponding natural diseases remain sufficiently clear and urgent to warrant mass inoculation of everyone, even against their will if necessary. Unfortunately, such proof has never been given.
Dr. John C. Bailer III, biostatistician, Harvard University School of Public Health. Co-author of Report on Cancer in the New England Journal of Medicine, May 1986.
...the simple unadulterated truth is that they are neither winning the fight against cancer nor are they about to find a cure. They have been claiming that a cure is just around the corner for a good 50 years or more, but the sad fact remains that in spite of the countless millions being collected, cancer in its most serious forms - in the lung, breast and bowel - is no nearer to being beaten today than it was at the turn of the century. Indeed, in some cases - breast cancer for example - the exact opposite is true; the scientists are actually losing the fight.
Economics and politics simply intertwine in shaping conventional medicine's approach to cancer. Very simply put, treating disease is enormously profitable, preventing disease is not.
Vaccines are made from: mucus of infected children (whooping cough), excrement from typhoid victims (typhoid), fermented chick embryos, and until recently vaccines for polio were got from the diseased kidneys of monkeys, and cause: leukemia, encephalitis, Multiple Sclerosis - and: "Now I believe the smallpox-vaccine theory is the explanation to the explosion of AIDS".
Vaccination is not necessary, not useful, does not protect. There are twice as many casualties from vaccination as from AIDS.

The use of Accutane, a Hoffman-LaRoche product, has caused hundreds of defective births. The packages containing this drug will henceforth have to display the picture of a malformed newborn.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy will make the ancient method of drilling holes in a patient's head to permit the escape of demons look relatively advanced.... Toxic chemotherapy is a hoax. The doctors who use it are guilty of pre-meditated murder, and the use of cobalt and other methods of cancer treatment popular today effectively closes the door on cure.

Kenya's executive has agreed to pay cuts as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 continue to rise, President Uhuru Kenyatta announced on Wednesday.
Kenyatta and his deputy will take an 80% pay cut, while their ministers and their assistants will take pay cuts ranging from 20% to 30%.
The President also announced a raft of measures to save jobs and by extension the country's economy.
Slashed liquidity ratios, lowered interest rates, and a struggle to find a balance between social distancing and a largely informal economy, since the country's first confirmed case two weeks ago
A ban on imports of second-hand clothing, colloquially known as mitumba, a sector which employs tens of thousands across the country.
Tax relief to low income earners (earning up to Shs. 24,000, ($240), and gave tax cuts to individuals, small businesses, and corporations.
Suspension of the country's three credit reference bureaus, which among them have about 2.5 million Kenyans negatively listed and unable to obtain credit from banks or fintech apps, beginning 1 April.
Coronavirus hitting Kenya
Kenya now has 28 confirmed cases of coronavirus, the second highest in the region after Rwanda that has 41. So it is working to halt further spreading across the country.
"Social Distancing is now our new norm, it is our new way of life," President Kenyatta said on Wednesday. He also announced a nationwide nighttime curfew, the first in the East African nation since a failed coup in 1982, beginning on Friday.
Working closely with Kenyatta during this crisis is the newly appointed Health Minister Mutahi Kagwe. He also served in Kenyatta's predecessor's cabinet. Just barely two weeks into his new job as health minister, the country confirmed its first case.
Quick fix to the economy worrisome
The pillars of Kenya's economy were already shaky at best before the pandemic made landfall in Nairobi, and the measures have just accelerated the path towards an economic collapse.
The country's foreign and domestic debt obligations and development projects have strained its coffers, making it harder to manouvre.
Last week, the Central Bank released Shs. 7.388bn to the government to support the fight against COVID-19. The bank explained that the money was an "exceptional and unbudgeted windfall" that came from the value of notes that were rendered worthless after the Shs. 1000 note was demonetized last year.
While the money is a necessity, its origin has caused some anxiety given Kenya has essentially printed money.
The bank has lowered Kenya's economic growth prospects for 2020 from above 6pc to "possibly 3.4pc."
Fragile economy just before the virus
Last December, President Kenyatta said that foreign remittances from Kenyans in the diaspora -and presumably Kenyans in the gig economy – had brought in more than traditional top foreign exchange earners such as tea and coffee.
"To signify the changing fortunes of our homeland, diaspora remittances grew by 10.9% from Sh266.19bn to Shs.295.32bn between June 2018 and June 2019, overtaking earnings from export of tea and coffee as the country's largest source of foreign exchange," said the President.
While he didn't mention it, the changes also coincided with the waiver window for Kenyans who have money stashed abroad to bring back home; with no (tax) questions to be asked.
Such remittances are likely to fall as global systems shut down, and people redirect money to more pressing concerns.
The Nairobi stock exchange, for example, hit a 17-year low within days of the first confirmed case, as investors dumped stock.
Pandemic touches horticulture and air travel
Horticulture, another one of Kenya's primary sources of foreign currency, was already on the decline before the global shutdown. "Kenya's earnings from horticulture exports fell 7% in 2019 to Shs. 142.72 bn ($1.37 billion)" Reuters reported on 18 March .
The pandemic shutdowns has already led to cancelled export orders, not just because of border closures, but also because there is simply no demand for flowers right now.
On Tuesday, the government-run Kenya News Agency estimated that flower farms had already fired over 2,000 people and would likely fire more as the situation worsens.
While there is still a market for fruits and vegetables, it is unlikely exports will be encouraged while the country is gearing up for a period of food shortages.
The country's heavily-indebted carrier Kenya Airways, suspended all international flights on Wednesday. Its top managers will take a 75% pay cut, with the CEO taking 80%, as they navigate the current global crisis.

Phil Spencer Says The Bethesda Acquisition Will Be Profitable
General news News PC PC News Xbox Xbox News 10/17/2020
The head of Xbox discussed several subjects in an interview with Kotaku.
Regarding the Xbox Series S, Phil Spencer said: "I think we'll sell every unit of both of them that we can deliver [at launch]. I think demand is just going to outstrip supply of pre-orders. For us and PlayStation, I think that the manufacturing supply chain is going to dictate [market] share more than anything else. I think, over the generation, we would expect that price matters and that you would see the Series S sell more." He added that since the Xbox Series S games will be smaller (lower-resolution textures), the games will load faster.
He didn't deny that making games for the smaller Xbox will require extra work for the devs: "Absolutely, it is work. There's no doubt about that. The fact that you have two performance specs now, I'm not going to stand here or try to PR somebody and say two different specs is the same as having one spec. It's not. We're doing this because we want to expand the market." Keep in mind that the PlayStation 5 also has two versions, but its specs don't differ (aside from the lack of an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive), while the two new Xbox consoles have more differences.
"Is it possible to recoup a $7.5 billion investment if you don't sell Elder Scrolls VI on the PlayStation?", Kotaku asked about Microsoft buying Zenimax, the owners of Bethesda. Spencer's reply is a bit confusing: "Yes… I don't want to be flip about that. This deal was not done to take games away from another player base like that. Nowhere in the documentation that we put together was: 'How do we keep other players from playing these games?' We want more people to be able to play games, not fewer people to be able to go play games. But I'll also say in the model—I'm just answering directly the question that you had—when I think about where people are going to be playing and the number of devices that we had, and we have xCloud and PC and Game Pass and our console base, I don't have to go ship those games on any other platform other than the platforms that we support to kind of make the deal work for us. Whatever that means." So he said the games will show up on PlayStation in a case-by-case basis, and he doesn't want them to be blocked from a group of players… that sounds like a contradiction.
Will Halo Infinite be released in two halves? (Separate campaign and multiplayer.) Spencer said that 343 Industries head of studio Bonnie Ross "will go drive those decisions, but I think we want to make sure people feel like they have a Halo experience. I think we can look at options like that… So, yeah, I think that's something to think about, but we want to make sure we do it right." What about cross-gen exclusives? Matt Booty, the head of Xbox Game Studios, said in January that Microsoft's title will be cross-gen for one-to-two years after the Xbox Series' launch. Spencer contradicted this as well: "I think we're going to take it on a case by case basis. When we talk about a couple of years, it's just when we look at the roadmap of games and the things that we're building, that's what we see. And so we're just trying to be transparent with people about the roadmap of games that would be coming for last-gen."
Spencer claims that Microsoft has a "very good relationship with Nintendo." However, "it doesn't feel sustainable" for them to consider Xbox titles on the Nintendo Switch on a case-by-case basis. "To support it, I would want a full Xbox ecosystem somewhere, and that probably means things like Live and Game Pass and stuff," he said. In other words: unless Game Pass and xCloud show up on the Switch, there will be only a few titles on the big N's platform.
Can Rare make more games based on its classic characters? "I leave it up to the studios in terms of the things that they want to go work on. I have a lot of respect for Rare and the work that they do. They do like building new things, and they've seen success with Sea of Thieves. I think they're excited about Everwild. But also the response to Battletoads was nice. And I think [partner studio] Dlala did a good job with the game. And so I think it's just always a balance. My inbox is full of: 'Let every studio do new [intellectual property].' And also: 'Why have you brought back Crimson Skies and Blinx?'", he replied.
We'll see if the acquisition approach pays off for Microsoft against Sony or not.

Longobardia (în limba greacă: Λογγοβαρδία, cu variantele Λογγιβαρδία, Longibardia și Λαγουβαρδία, Lagoubardia), a fost un termen bizantin care desemna teritoriile controlate de către longobarzi în Peninsula Italică. Mai târziu, în secolele al IX-lea și al X-lea, termenul a ajuns să semnifice o provincie bizantină (thema) situată în Italia de sud-est.

Istoria
Termenul a fost în mod tradițional utilizat pentru desemnarea posesiunilor longobarzilor. Cronicarul Teofan Mărturisitorul făcea distincție între "Longobardia Mare" (în limba greacă: Μεγάλη Λογγοβαρδία; în limba latină: Longobardia major), în speță Regatul longobard din Italia de nord, și  "Longobardia" (în latină: Longobardia minor), care cuprindea sudul Italiei, cu formațiunile statale longobarde ale ducatului de Spoleto, principatului de Salerno și principatului de Capua, cu posesiunile bizantine directe și cu orașele-stat (Ducatul de Neapole, Ducatul de Gaeta și Ducatul de Amalfi), de asemenea sub suzeranitatea bizantină.

În sensul său cel mai strict și mai tehnic, numele se refera la thema bizantină care înconjura actuale regiune Apulia și părți din Basilicata, având orașul Bari drept reședință. Originea și evoluția acestei theme nu sunt limpezi. Instituirea ei, probabil inițial subordonată față de thema de Cefalonia datează din jurul anului 876, atunci când Bari a fost recucerit de către bizantini, care l-au folosit apoi ca bază pentru restabilirea controlului asupra sudului Italiei, pierdute în secolele anterioare în favoarea longobarzilor și sarazinilor. În jurul lui 893, se pare că era administrată laolaltă cu celelalte themata din Europa ale Bizanțului. Un strategos distinct, a cărui prezență ar implica ridicarea la o adevărată thema, este atestat abia începând cu anul 911. În 938 și 965, ea apare unită cu thema de Calabria, cu toate că durata unei asemenea situații nu este clară. În orice caz, după circa 965, cele două themata devin definitiv unite în Catepanatul de Italia, o nouă structură condusă de un catepan având sediul la .
