Q: Build "timeline" from 2 date ranges I've been racking my brain but can't do the following in an efficient manner:
Basically I have 3 date ranges as follows:
ID |  StartDate |  EndDate
-----------------------------
1  | 1905-01-01 | 1910-01-01
2  | 1920-01-01 | 1990-01-01
3  | 2010-01-01 | 2020-01-01

The expected result is:
ID |  StartDate |  EndDate
-----------------------------
1  | 1900-01-01 | 1904-12-31
2  | 1905-01-01 | 1910-01-01
3  | 1910-01-02 | 1919-12-31
4  | 1920-01-01 | 1990-01-01
5  | 1990-01-02 | 2009-12-31
6  | 2010-01-01 | 2020-01-01
7  | 2020-01-02 | 9999-12-31

From a given set of date ranges, build a timeline from the earliest possible date to the latest possible date.
I have built one query but it's very inefficient. It utilizes LEAD and LAG but the actual result sets are "UNION ALL"-ed one at a time. In addition it is not dynamic, it can only handle 3 date ranges at a time. I'm trying to build a dynamic one but every time i try to, I end up approaching the problem the same way. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

A: If I understand correctly, you can just list out the dates and use lead():
select row_number() over (order by dte) as id,
       dte as startDate,
       coalesce(dateadd(day, -1, lead(dte) over (order by dte)), '9999-12-31')
from ((select startDate as dte
       from t
      ) union all
      (select endDate as dte
       from t
      )
     ) t;

Motorists are being warned to watch their speed as a new 20mph speed limit is rolled out in an Inverness neighbourhood.
The new scheme will affect streets around the Merkinch area of the Highland capital.
It is the latest in a region-wide initiative to increase the number of 20mph speed limits in the north.
The proposal to drop the limit in Merkinch has been around for several years and preparation finally began last summer.
Councillor Audrey Sinclair, chairwoman of Highland Council's planning, development and infrastructure committee recently met pupils from Merkinch Primary School, local ward members and the council's road safety team at Cameron Road to mark the completion and introduction of the new Merkinch Area 20mph scheme.
She said: "This is the latest initiative in a Highland-wide 20mph speed limit programme which was approved by the council's planning, development and infrastructure committee.
"Our road safety unit continues to work towards achieving the road casualty reduction targets set out in Scotland's road safety framework to 2020.
Highland Council is also supporting the Scottish Government's In Town, Slow Down campaign aimed at protecting vulnerable road users and reducing the number of pedestrian and cyclist casualties.
Junior road safety officers Kate Duncan-Hamilton, Shannon Creighton, Mjka Dulak and Charlotte Legg from Merkinch Primary demonstrated the vulnerability of pedestrians using model eggs as part of the government scheme.
The council has previously said that further 20mph limits would be introduced in Nairn and Muir of Ord within the coming year.
Some councillors have previously called for a city-wide 20mph limit to be introduced, rather than the current mix with 30mph sections.

Neymar bio
in full Neymar da Silva Santos, Jr, Brazilian football player who was one of the most productive scorers in his nation's celebrated football history.Neymar started playing football as a kid in São Vicente, under the direction of his dad, a previous expert footballer who stayed a nearby counselor and coach all through his child's profession. At age 14 he had a fruitful preliminary with Spain's Real Madrid, and Santos needed to build its spending to hold him.
Neymar—a thin outlined 5-foot 9-inch (1.75-meter) forward—was remarkably sure on the field, with astounding body control, fast reflexes, and dangerous speed. He made his first group debut with Santos in 2009. While playing with Santos, he arrived at the midpoint of an objective each other match and helped the group win the Libertadores Cup (the most renowned South American club rivalry) in 2011. Neymar's numerous individual distinctions with Santos incorporated the South American Footballer of the Year title in 2011 and 2012.
In June 2013 Neymar marked a five-year contract with FC Barcelona after an exchange with Santos in return for €57 million (about $76 million), one of the most costly soccer moves ever. After two years he helped Barcelona catch the "high pitch" of a La Liga title, a Copa del Rey title, and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League title. While Neymar was instrumental in Barcelona's prosperity from 2013 to 2017, adding up to 105 objectives in 186 games with the club over all rivalries, he yearned to escape the shadow of colleague Lionel Messi, probably the best part in football history. Accordingly, in August 2017 he designed a takeoff to the French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a then record €222 million ($263 million) move charge. Notwithstanding being the new substance of PSG, Neymar additionally turned into the most generously compensated part on the planet, with a €45 million ($53 million) yearly compensation. He showed up in only 30 matches during his first season with PSG, scoring 28 objectives for the club prior to breaking a bone in his privilege foot.nternationally, Neymar was considered for the Brazilian side that took an interest in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, yet he was at last excluded from the crew. All things considered, he made his introduction for the public group in August 2010, in a cordial match against the U.S., where he scored his first global objective in Brazil's 2–0 win. He scored four objectives for Brazil at the 2013 Confederations Cup, remembering one for the group's 3–0 triumph over Spain in the last, and won the Golden Ball as the competition's most important player just as the Bronze Boot as its third most elevated scorer. Neymar featured for Brazil when his nation of origin facilitated the 2014 World Cup, scoring four objectives in five games before he was taken out of the opposition with a cracked vertebra in the quarterfinals. At the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games, he drove the Brazilian men's side to its first Olympic gold award, scoring the triumphant punishment in additional season of the last match against Germany. He scored two objectives at the 2018 World Cup yet was also known for his numerous dramatic embellishments of fouls during that competition.

Q: How to sort an all-digit matrix in perl Assume there is an m by n all-digit matrix:
X11 X12 ... X1n

X21 X22 ... X2n

...

Xmn Xmn ... Xmn

I need help to write a method that somewhat like 'order by' in ansi sql. This method shall be able to sort the matrix by ANY number of column indices passed in at cmdline.
For example, if cmdline is:
% myOrderby -col 1,2,5

It'll sort the matrix by columns 1, 2 and 5.
However, if cmdline is
% myOrderby -col 1,4,8,11

then it would sort the matrix by columns 1, 4, 8 and 11.
I know how to implement the method if there was a fixed maximum number of columns to "order by". I am looking for a method that can sort a matrix based on any number of columns.
Is this possible?

A: You can sort by an arbitrary number of fields
# note, your columns start at 1, while arrays index from 0
my @cols = map($_-1, @param_cols);
my @sorted = sort {
    my $r = 0;
    $r ||= $a->[$_] <=> $b->[$_] for @cols;
    return $r;
} @matrix;

A: You will loop through the indices, breaking out of the loop when the comparison shows a difference.
@M = map{$a=$_;map{$b=$_;map{$c=$_;map{$d=$_;
         map[$a,$b,$c,$d,$_],2,1}1,2}2,1}1,2}2,1;

sub by_cols {
    my ($row1,$row2,@indices) = @_;
    foreach my $col (@indices) {
        my $d = $row1->[$col] <=> $row2->[$col];
        return $d if $d;
    }
    return 0;
}

print "@$_\n" for sort { by_cols($a,$b, 3,4,1) } @M;

Output
2 1 2 1 1
2 1 1 1 1
1 1 2 1 1
1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 1 1
2 2 1 1 1

Q: How will we check whether an expression is a sentence or not in Truth Functional logic? I am reading chapter-6 of the textbook forall x: Calgary. Quoting from the textbook:

*

*Every sentence letter is a sentence.

*If $\mathscr A$ is a sentence, then $\lnot \mathscr A$ is a sentence.

*If $\mathscr A$ and $\mathscr B$ are sentences, then $\mathscr{(A\land B)}$ is a sentence.

*If $\mathscr A$ and $\mathscr B$ are sentences, then $\mathscr{(A\lor B)}$ is a sentence.

*If $\mathscr A$ and $\mathscr B$ are sentences, then $\mathscr{(A\rightarrow B)}$ is a sentence.

*If $\mathscr A$ and $\mathscr B$ are sentences, then $\mathscr{(A\leftrightarrow B)}$ is a sentence.

*Nothing else is a sentence.

Just as the inductive definition allows complex sentences to be built up from simpler parts, the definition allows us to decompose sentences into their simpler parts. Once we get down to sentence letters, then we know we are ok.

The author then goes on to give examples of how we can check whether some expression is a sentence or not. But the author only gives examples of expression which are sentences.
My problem is how will we show that expressions like $(A\lor B \land C)$ or $(\lnot A (B \lor C))$ (which I know is not
a sentence) are not sentences by the rules given by the author?
Or are the rules given by the author insufficient for deciding if they are sentences or not?

A: Your examples are easy, assuming $A$, $B$ and $C$ are sentence letters.
According to the rules above, any sentence is either a sentence letter or of the form $\neg\mathscr{A}$
or of the form $(\mathscr{A}\circ\mathscr{B})$, where $\circ\in\{\wedge,\vee,\rightarrow,\leftrightarrow\}$.
Neither $\left(A\vee B\wedge C\right)$ nor $\left(\neg A\left(B\vee C\right)\right)$ is of any of these forms, so, they are not, strictly speaking, sentences.
Of course, if you have conventions, like "introducing parenthesis
from left to right, for operations with equal scope", and if $\vee$
an $\wedge$ are of equal scope, then $\left(A\vee B\wedge C\right)$
is actually $\left(\left(A\vee B\right)\wedge C\right)$, and it
is a sentence. But, in order to apply the formal rules, first you
have to transform the formulas into their formal forms.
If everything is completely formal, then what you are asking can be
checked by an algorithm. Here is a rough sketch: First check if the
whole formula is an atomic sentence (here, sentence letter). If it is, return "It is a sentence".
Else, check if the first symbol is "$\neg$", "$($" or none
of them. If it is "$\neg$", then your formula must be of the
form $\neg\mathscr{A}$. Then, everything that follows "$\neg$"
must be $\mathscr{A}$, so the check procedure is called again, upon
$\mathscr{A}$. If it starts with a parenthesis "$($", it must
be of the form $(\mathscr{A}\circ\mathscr{B})$. Check if there is
a closing parenthesis "$)$" and if there is one of $\wedge,\vee,\rightarrow,\leftrightarrow$, (call it "$\circ$") somewhere in the middle. If not, then return
"it is not a sentence". If it is, then everything that lies between
"$($" and "$\circ$" should be $\mathscr{A}$, and everything
that lies between "$\circ$" and "$)$" should be $\mathscr{B}$.
So, the check procedure is called again, first on $\mathscr{A}$,
and then on $\mathscr{B}$. If the first symbol is neither "$\neg$"
nor "$($", then return "It is not a sentence". This is a
recursive procedure, which calls it self until it reach an atomic
sentence or a dead end. If it reaches a dead end, then the verdict is "It is not a sentence", otherwise, the verdict is "It is a sentence".
For example, let us examine $\left(\left(A\vee B\right)\wedge C\right)$:

*

*It is not an atomic sentence.

*It begins with "$($", so it must be of the form $(\mathscr{A}\circ\mathscr{B})$.

*Indeed, it closes with "$)$", "$\circ$" is "$\wedge$",
$\mathscr{A}$ is "$\left(A\vee B\right)$" and $\mathscr{B}$
is "$C$".

*Calling the procedure upon $\mathscr{A}$.

*It is not an atomic sentence.

*It begins with "$($", so it must be of the form $(\mathscr{A}\circ\mathscr{B})$.

*Indeed, it closes with "$)$", "$\circ$" is "$\vee$",
$\mathscr{A}$ is "$A$" and $\mathscr{B}$ is "$B$".

*Calling the procedure upon $\mathscr{A}$.

*This is $A$. It is an atomic sentence.

*Ending procedure.

*Calling the procedure upon $\mathscr{B}$.

*This is $B.$ It is an atomic sentence.

*Ending procedure (returns to previews level).

*Calling the procedure upon $\mathscr{B}$.

*This is $C$. It is an atomic sentence.

*Ending procedure. Result: "It is a sentence".

On the other hand, let us examine $\left(A\vee B\wedge C\right)$:

*

*It is not an atomic sentence.

*It begins with "$($", so it must be of the form $(\mathscr{A}\circ\mathscr{B})$.

*Indeed, it closes with "$)$"  But here, it can not decide between
"$\vee$" and "$\wedge$". Dead end.

*Ending procedure. Result: "It is not a sentence".

Even if it the procedure can decide between "$\vee$" and "$\wedge$",
(for example, if it works with the first logical operation it finds),
then it will stop in a later step, when it will find that "$B\wedge C$"
does not begin neither with "$\neg$" nor with "$($".

"It's a loss of confidence in the community. We can't have an officer the citizens have lost confidence in," Gomez said.
Hearne is home to about 4,500 people surrounded by cotton farms and railways, one of which backs up to Gordon's brick home.
Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert said a preliminary autopsy shows Golden was shot twice in the body and grazed by a third bullet. It's the second time Stem has shot and killed a suspect since joining the department in 2012, Siegert said.
"There's no justification. Any police officer would know not to kill a 93-year-old fragile woman when they could have backed off," said William Foster, 64, a retired professor in Hearne. "She was no threat to him."
Stem could not be reached for comment because a number for him could not be found. Siegert said he saw Stem's lawyer this week but didn't know his name, and Hearne City Attorney Bryan Ross didn't return a phone message.
Hearne police have declined to comment beyond the statement issued this week. Stem has been placed on administrative leave.
Candles left in vigil remained outside Golden's home two days after the shooting. Foster and others said she lived alone and that her husband had been a Hearne police officer himself.
A doghouse made of plywood sat in Golden's recently mowed yard. Next door, a neighbor lived in a trailer surrounded by a barbed wire fence.
Authorities say a revolver believed to be the weapon Golden had at the time of the shooting was found at the scene.
Hazel Embra, a geriatric nurse and a City Council candidate in Saturday's local election, said she ran into Golden last week at the grocery store.
"That lady should be living today. She should not have died like she did," Embra said.
The circumstances surrounding Stem's first on-the-job fatal shooting were very different. Siegert said a group of officers had responded to a call in the middle of the night and wound up chasing several suspects through an unlit area before Stem fired. He was cleared by a grand jury.


The entry of OTAs, such as Expedia and Agoda with large marketing funds and deep expertise, is clearly biting Zuji.
Asian online travel agency Zuji has failed to meet its payment obligations for airline ticket sales and has been suspended by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) from selling tickets through a settlement program with participating airlines.
It is unclear if Zuji is able to settle its outstanding dues to airlines within a specific time. There are also "a number of factors to consider before the agent can be reinstated," said IATA's spokesperson Albert Tjoeng.
The amount that Zuji owes to airlines is undisclosed.
"We expect to resume our service with our new website in Q1 2019." said an official spokesperson, Jackson Hui.
Zuji was birthed in Singapore in the infancy days of Asia's online travel in 2002 by a consortium of airlines and the now defunct Asia-Pacific distribution system Abacus, which was acquired fully by Sabre Holdings in 2015.
The OTA changed hands three times, first to Sabre's Travelocity in 2006, which sold it to Australia's Webjet in 2012 for $18 million in 2012, which in turn made a tidy sum by selling it four years later to HNA Group-affiliateed aviation firm Uriel for $40 million.

English Grammar :
Grammar is the set of prearranged conventional rules which regulate, control and manage any particular language, so in order to grasp any language accurately. It is of utmost importance to have a strong hold over grammar. Grammar can be defined as the edifice of expressions or terminologies in the English Language, including the structure of words, construction of phrases, clauses and sentences.
William Bullokar wrote the first published English Grammar, which was just a pamphlet for grammar in 1586.Bullokar wrote just to establish the fact that English was based on rules like Latin. In 19th century, Lindley Murray, the author of one of the most commonly used grammars of the day, mentioned grammatical authorities to strengthen the statement that grammatical statements in English differ from those in Ancient Greek or Latin.
Variations of English occur due to many reasons. Mostly English varies because of social, historical, cultural, regional grounds. There are few specific variances between the standard forms of British English, American English, and Australian English, but it is essential to mention these variances are unremarkable when compared with the vocabulary and pronunciation variances.
Let us have a look at English grammar……….
In English, eight types of word classes or parts of speech are recognized…they are
Amongst all parts of speech mentioned above, nouns ,verbs, adjectives, and adverbs develop open classes ….open classes indicate word classes which promptly admit new members ….e.g. the noun "celebutante"( a celebrity who frequents the fashion circles).The other parts of speech are considered as closed classes because they do not readily admit a new member. For example, seldom we find a new pronoun to be readily accepted in the language.
Now lets discuss each parts of speech in detail :
Nouns construct the largest word class in English language. There are several ordinary or common suffixes used to create nouns from other nouns or from other types of words, like age to create shrinkage, hood to form sisterhood etc. There are countless nouns which do not have any suffix… for example : Cat, grass, France. Nouns are frequently created by conversion of verbs or adjectives, like a boring talk (boring is an adjective, talk is a noun), etc.
A notable fact about English nouns is that…English nouns do not have any grammatical gender, with a few exceptions …there are certain nouns which refer specifically to male or female persons, animals, mother, father, bull, tigress etc. Nouns are many a time classified as proper nouns and common nouns. For Example : Cyrus, China... are proper nouns….frog, milk … are common nouns. Nouns can be concrete nouns and abstract nouns like…..book, laptop are concrete nouns…. Heat and prejudice are abstract nouns. A prominent difference is very frequently made between countable nouns or count nouns like city, clock etc. and uncountable or non countable nouns such as milk and décor. Countable nouns generally contain singular and plural forms.
Noun phrases
Phrases that function grammatically as nouns within sentences are called noun phrases. In most of the cases, noun phrases have noun as their head.
An English noun phrase characteristically takes the following formula (all elements need not be present)
Determiner + Pre-modifiers + NOUN + Post modifiers/ Complement
As per the above mentioned structure:
The determiner could be an article, e.g. the, a or other equivalent word. In many situations, noun phrase requires to include some determiner.
Pre-modifiers comprise of adjectives, and some adjective phrases eg. Red,really lovely and noun adjuncts,e.g college in the phrase of college student. Normally, adjectival modifiers come before noun adjuncts.
A complement or postmodifier may be a prepositional phrase e.g. of London, a relative clause e.g. which we saw yesterday, few adjective or phrases e.g. sitting on the beach, or a clause which is dependant or an infinitive phrase suitable for the noun e.g. that the world is round after a noun such as fact or statement, or to travel widely after a noun such as desire.
"That rather attractive young college student to whom you were talking"…..is an example of a noun phrase which contains all the elements mentioned in the formula.
That – determiner
Rather attractive , young - adjectival pre-modifiers
College - noun adjunct
Student – noun (head of the phrase)
to whom you were talking - post-modifier
Here, the order of the pre-modifiers should be noticed; the determiner that should/ must come first and the noun adjunct college must/should come after the adjectival modifiers.
English determiners contain comparatively a smaller category of words. Determiners include a,some,few demonstrative and interrogative words like this,that,which, possessives like my, whose, various quantifying words like all,many, various, numerals. There are several phrases, which play the role of determiners. Determiners are used to form noun phrases. There are several words which function as determiners can also serve the purpose of a pronouns like this, that, many etc. Determiners can be used in several combinations. In many circumstances, it is essential for a noun phrase to be completed with an article, or some other determiner. The most usual situations in which a whole noun phrase can be constructed without a determiner are when it signifies commonly to a complete class or concept and when its a name .
Pronouns are comparatively small, limited category of words that operate in place of nouns or noun phrases. Pronouns include personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, relative pronouns, interrogative pronouns, and few others, mainly indefinite pronouns.
Personal pronouns
First person singular/plural pronoun – I, me, myself, my, mine, we, us ,ourselves ,our ,ours
Second person singular/plural pronoun – you, yourself/yourselves, your,yours
Third person singular/plural pronouns -she, he, it ,her, him, herself, himself, itself, they,themselves,their
You, which belong to the second person category,is used both for singular and plural reference. In order to refer to a person in general, you can be used an indefinite pronoun, in comparison to the more formal substitute one.
Demonstrative and interrogative pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns in English language are this(singular form)and that(plural form).
Interrogative Pronouns are who, what, and which. All interrogative pronouns can be used as relative pronouns.
The key relative pronouns in English language are who, whom, whose, which, that.
Verbs create the second largest word category after nouns. The elementary form of an English verb is not normally indicated by any ending. Though there are few suffixes that are commonly used to create verbs , like ate is used to create formulate, fy is used to create electrify, ise/ize to create realise/realize. There are several verbs which have prefixes , like un to create unmask, out to create outlast, over to create overtake and under to create undervalue.
Maximum number of verbs have three or four modulated forms like:
A third person singular present tense form – (e)s Eg: writes,botches
A present participle and gerund form in –(ing) Eg : writing
A past tense –Eg : wrote
A past participle - Eg : written
A standard or normal verb have indistinguishable past tense and past participle forms in (ed).The verbs have , do, and say also have irregular third person present tense forms like has, does says etc. the verb be has the greatest number of irregular forms like am, is, are(present tense), was, were, (past tense), been (past participle). Another type of verb is auxillary verb like shall, should, will, would. The infinitive is the basic form of verb like, be, write, play etc. There is also a to infinitive form like to be, to write, to play which are used in several grammatical constructions.
Verb phrases
A verb along with its dependents, without its subject ,could be recognised as a verb phrase . Specific verb-modifier groupings predominantly when they have independent meaning like take on, get up are known as phrasal verbs.
The function of an adjective is to describe a noun. For Example : "pretty Bicycle"….pretty is an adjective,bicycle is a noun. Here pretty(adjective) describes bicycle(noun).
Adjectives could be used attributively, as part of a noun phrase just as in case of a "big house"or predicatively as in case of a "house is big". Particular adjectives are limited to one or other use , for example - a drunken sailor …in this case drunken is attributive . Again,the word drunken can be used in another way where drunken is predicative ..for eg. the sailor was drunk.
Several adjectives have comparative and superlative forms in (er) and (est) forms…e.g. faster and fastest (from the positive form fast). There are several adjectives,specially those that are longer and less common do not have inflected comparative and superlative forms. As an alternative, they can be qualified with more and most…e.g: more beautiful, most beautiful. There are few adjectives which are not gradable. These adjectives signify properties that cannot be compared on a scale ..like pregnant,dead,unique etc. Another category of adjectives which are considered ungradable is those which signifies an extreme degree of some property, like delicious and terrified.
Adjective phrases
Adjective phrase can be defined as a collection of words which does the job of an adjective in a sentence. Generally, an adjective phrase has a single adjective as its head, to which modifiers and complements may be added. E.g: proud of him, angry at the screen.
Adverbs function extensively. Adverbs modify verbs or verb phrases, adjectives or adjectival phrase, or other adverbs or adverbial phrase. Nevertheless, at times adverbs also qualify noun phrases, pronouns, determiners, prepositional phrase, or at times whole sentences to present a contextual comment or denote an attitude. They can also signify a relationship between clauses or sentences.
Numerous English adverbs are formed from adjectives by adding (ly) at the end, as in hopefully,widely etc.There are few words which can be used both as an adjective and an adverb as well like fast, straight,hard.
There are certain adverbs which are not developed from adjectives,including adverbs of time, of frequency,of place, of degree etc. Certain suffixes are used to form adverbs from nouns are ….ward(s)as in homeward(s), wise(lengthwise). Maximum number of adverbs form comparative and superlatives by alteration with more and most : often, more often,most often. Nevertheless, a few adverbs preserve asymmetrical modulation for comparative and superlative forms : much, more, most, a little,less,well, better, best, badly, worse, worst, far, further, farther, furthest, farthest, or follow the systematic adjectival modulation : fast, faster, fastest; soon, sooner, soonest; etc.
Adverb phrases
A phrase which acts as an adverb within a sentence is known as an adverb phrase. An adverb phrase may have an adverb as its head, together with any modifiers like other adverbs or adverb phrases, and complements, analogously the adjective phrases. Example : very sleepily. Another category of very common type of adverb phrase is the prepositional phrase.This type of phrase include a preposition and its object. Example: In the pool , for the sake of harmony etc.
Prepositions form a restricted word group. Certain phrases also serve the purpose of prepositions like in front of. Prepositions which are commonly used in English language are of, in, on, over, under, to, from, with, in front of, behind, opposite, by, before, after, during, through, in spite of or despite, between, among, etc.
A preposition is normally used with a noun phrase as its complement. A preposition along with its complement is known as prepositional phrase. E.g : In England, under the table, between the land and the sea.
Conjunctions state a wide range of logical relations between items, phrases, clauses and sentences. The key conjunctions are and, or, but as well as nor, so, yet and for.
Another type of conjunctions is correlative conjunctions. Example : Either,neither, both, etc.
Subordinating conjunctions help in making relations between clauses. Example : After,before, since,until (conjunctions of time), because,since,now ,that, as (Conjunction of cause and effect ), although, though, even though (conjunctions of opposition or concession), if, unless, only if, whether or not, even if (conjunctions of condition).
However, it is very important to mention that written grammar changes gradually but spoken grammar is pretty flexible or changeable. Sentences which we find normal today might have seemed weird 100 yrs ago.
When people speak, the grammar they use varies from person to person. For instance, people who are using General American English or BBC English might say, I didn't do anything, for a person who speaks African American Vernacular English or AAVE might say, I didn't do nothing. London working class version for it would be, I ain't done nuffink. These are known as double negatives, they are found completely in spoken language and not in written language. These variances or differences are known as dialects. Dialect varies from region to region, thus a dialect that a person uses depends on the place where he or she is living. Although, dialects of English language use various words or word order, they still follow certain rules of grammar. Nevertheless, when we write in American English, grammar follows the rules of General American English. When people discuss about using 'proper English', they usually refer to Grammar of General British English, as defined in standard reference works. The standards for spoken English in Britain are called Received Pronunciation or BBC English.
Types of Adjectives
Attributive adjectives
Predicative adjectives
Nominal adjectives
Determiners and adjectives
Comparative and superlative adjectives
Positive Adjectives
Superlative adjectives
Forming comparatives and superlatives
Irregular comparative and superlative adjectives
Participial adjectives
Proper adjectives
Coordinate Adjectives
Noncoordinate Adjectives

Q: GHC - No instance for (Monad Ptr) I'm new to haskell and I'm attempting to write my first haskell C library. This is my first time using the Foreign.C module. I'm getting lost in examples and have become stuck. This is what I have come up with so far:
{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-}

module Grep where

import GHC.Ptr
import Foreign.C.String
import Data.List (isInfixOf)

grep :: CString -> CString -> CString
grep i s = do
    ii <- peekCString i
    ss <- peekCString s
    g <- newCString (isInfixOf ii ss)
    g

foreign export ccall grep :: CString -> CString -> CString

I get the following error:
PS C:\Users\GGuy\Source\haskell> ghc -c -O grep.hs

grep.hs:11:9:
  No instance for (Monad Ptr)
    arising from a do statement
  Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Monad Ptr)
  In a stmt of a 'do' block: ii <- (peekCString i)
  In the expression:
    do { ii <- (peekCString i);
      ss <- peekCString s;
      g <- newCString (isInfixOf ii ss);
      g }
  In an equation for `grep':
    grep i s
      = do { ii <- (peekCString i);
             ss <- peekCString s;
             g <- newCString (isInfixOf ii ss);
             .... }

grep.hs:11:16:
  Couldn't match expected type `Ptr t0' with actual type `IO String'
  In the return type of a call of `peekCString'
  In a stmt of a 'do' block: ii <- (peekCString i)
  In the expression:
    do { ii <- (peekCString i);
       ss <- peekCString s;
       g <- newCString (isInfixOf ii ss);
       g }

A: Now that the fix
grep :: CString -> CString -> IO Bool
grep i s = do
    ii <- peekCString i
    ss <- peekCString s
    return (isInfixOf ii ss)

foreign export ccall grep :: CString -> CString -> IO Bool

is clarified, let us find out how the error messages come to be:
grep :: CString -> CString -> CString
grep i s = do
    ii <- peekCString i
    ss <- peekCString s
    g <- newCString (isInfixOf ii ss)
    g

The declared result type of grep is CString, which is a type synonym for Ptr CChar. The right hand side of the definition is a do-block (with more than one statement), so the result type must have the form m a for some Monad m and some type a.
The declared result type Ptr CChar matches the form m a - with m = Ptr, a = CChar - and so what remains is to find/verify the Monad instance of the type constructor Ptr. There is none in scope, hence
grep.hs:11:9:
  No instance for (Monad Ptr)              -- quite
    arising from a do statement            -- right
  Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Monad Ptr)    -- Umm, no, not really

the first reported error.
The second error comes from analysing the contents of the do-block. The compiler could have stopped type-checking upon encountering the first error, but didn't. Now the further type checking continues under the assumption that Ptr were a Monad. So in that do-block, every expression on the right of a <- (which, after desugaring becomes the first argument of a (>>=) :: Monad m => m a -> (a -> mb) -> m b), must have type Ptr sometype. But peekCString :: CString -> IO String, thus
grep.hs:11:16:
  Couldn't match expected type `Ptr t0' with actual type `IO String'
  In the return type of a call of `peekCString'
  In a stmt of a 'do' block: ii <- (peekCString i)
  In the expression:
    do { ii <- (peekCString i);
       ss <- peekCString s;
       g <- newCString (isInfixOf ii ss);
       g }

If the compiler continued, it would give the same type error for the second peekCString line, and finally a
Couldn't match type `Bool' with `[Char]'
Expected type: String
  Actual type: Bool
In the first argument of `newCString', namely ...

for the wrongly typed argument of newCString (plus another IO - Ptr mismatch).

A: You must use a monadic function as you are doing IO stuff:
grep :: CString -> CString -> IO CString
grep i s = do
    ii <- peekCString i
    ss <- peekCString s
    newCString (isInfixOf ii ss)

Also adapt your export clause:
foreign export ccall grep :: CString -> CString -> IO CString

TIP OF THE DAY: Uses For Vermouth
June 19, 2020 at 7:56 am · Filed under Cocktails & Spirits, Cooking, Food Holidays, Tip Of The Day
[1] A Dry Martini, stylish served at Dante Restaurant in New York City. Here's the classic Martini recipe (photo © Dante).
[2] Add a splash to soups. Here's the recipe for this Manhattan Clam Chowder from Eat To Love (photo © Eat To Love).
[3] Homemade fig jam. Here's the recipe from Set The Table (photo © Set The Table).
[4] Spaghetti and lobster in a sweet vermouth sauce. Here's the recipe from Cooking For Keeps (photo © Cooking For Keeps).
June 19th is National Dry Martini Day.
Both the original, with gin, or the modern, with vodka, have a second ingredient in common: dry vermouth.
Vermouth is an aromatized white wine, fortified with distilled alcohol and infused with various botanicals (barks, flowers, herbs, roots, seeds, spices) chosen by the producer.
Fortifying with a base spirit allows the opened bottle of wine to stay fresher, longer (keep it in the fridge).
Even so, vermouth, though fortified, is still a wine and not a liquor. It has a shelf life. If refrigerated properly, it should keep anywhere from four to six weeks after opening.
Serve if instead of wine: chilled or over ice with a lemon peel. Or, use it to cook, as illustrated below.
Here's the history of vermouth, which evolved from a use by apothecaries in Northern Italy and Germany, in the 16th century.
To make bitter medicines more palatable, apothecaries would blend extracts of herbs and roots with wine and brandy*.
Later, in the Italian city of Turin, vermouth became an apéritif, served at fashionable cafés.
Two types of vermouth evolved—dry/white and sweet/red—with subsequent additional styles including extra-dry white, sweet white (blanc or bianco), red, amber (ambre or), and rosé.
In the late 19th century, dry vermouth became popular with bartenders as a key ingredient in cocktails that are still popular today: the Manhattan, the Martini/Gibson†, the Rob Roy and the Negroni, among others.
Sweet vermouth is typically served as a spritzer, with a bit of simple syrup and fresh lemon, lots of club soda, and a mint garnish.
But you can also cook with vermouth.
COOKING WITH VERMOUTH
Dry Vermouth
In addition to being consumed as an apéritif or cocktail ingredient, dry vermouth can be substituted for white wine in cooking.
Vermouth is fortified so is a bit stronger; you can use a less if you're concerned about too much wine flavor. Also be sure that the dish you're making can stand up to the light flavors of the botanicals.
If you open a bottle for cocktails, continue to use it in your recipes to:
Add dimension to sauces for chicken, fish/shellfish (including steamed mussels) and pork.
Add to cream sauces and soups, plus stock-based and puréed soups (photo #2).
Add to mushroom dishes.
Deglaze pans.
Make adult milkshakes.
Use as vinegar when the vermouth turns.
Sweet Vermouth
Not surprisingly, sweet vermouth works better than dry vermouth in sweet recipes.
You can use it in place of other fortified red wines, such as madeira and marsala, port and sherry.
Add to chocolate sauce and cranberry sauce.
Add to homemade ice pops.
Add to sorbet or chocolate ice cream.
Make a pasta sauce for seafood (photo #4).
Marinate fruit for spiked fruit salad
Poach pears and other fruits.
Stir into jam or preserves (photo #3).

The strength of our hearts is essential as it pumps blood and supplies oxygen; it keeps us alive. However, it is a fragile organ, too. By opening our hearts it opens us to vulnerability and possible heartbreak. Heartache can hurt just as much as a physical injury and when our heart is weak, hurt, or broken, we will take drastic measures to protect it from further pain or damage. We may choose to retaliate, live in denial, suppress feelings, or hold on to anger, but we simply cannot begin healing our broken hearts until we learn and practice the act of acceptance. Accepting our diagnoses allows us to let go and to forgive; forgive ourselves, those that hurt us, and even forgive God. Forgiveness is a long journey, but it not only restores our wounded hearts, it allows us to become our true and authentic selves.
I am a 30-year-old woman, originally from a small Pennsylvania town, who prior to this (pivotal) year in my life, was afraid of change, afraid to show vulnerability, and afraid to live outside of my comfort zone. Eighteen months ago, I went through a very difficult break up. I had no choice but to change my stubborn and structured ways in order to navigate my way through the tough terrain and switchbacks of life, which have allowed me to become the strong and brave-hearted woman I am today.
I had started to plan my life with him. I shifted my wants and needs, my career aspirations, my hobbies, and even some of my beliefs to the point where I was a shell of a person. I no longer knew or recognized the woman I saw in the mirror. My family and lifelong friends were 1,500 miles away and while I had so much support from them, from my coworkers, and even from his family, I never felt more alone in my life.
My heart hurt every second, every minute, and every hour of every day. I felt like I was dying from the inside out. I cried daily, I barely slept, and when I did eat or drink, I didn't choose healthy options. An emotional hangover kicked in, and while I continued to "work out", which is something that has always been a passion of mine, it also became a chore. I gained weight, compared myself to other women, and I questioned God. I needed answers to questions that were certainly not answered during the break up: "Why did this happen to me? What did I do wrong?" I couldn't see the forest through the trees and I didn't understand why or how the man that allegedly loved me and moved me into his place only four months prior to this implosion could rip my heart out, step on it, and set it out on the curb with yesterday's trash.
With struggle and hesitation, I packed six bags filled with clothes and shoes and went to a gracious friend's house where I lived in disarray and a disheveled mess in her basement for nearly two months. During this time, I was a wreck both physically and mentally. I even got pulled over twice for speeding in less than a 12 hour time span. But through faith and prayers for patience, courage, strength, and preservation I eventually found a new place to live and with that I also began to feel alive again. I became a single dog-mom and I put myself out there and met new people and built new friendships. I held myself and my growing career together with poise and grace. I started to acknowledge, and most importantly, accept the hand dealt to me to begin my journey forward. The early summer brought me an opportunity with my company to move back to the east coast. After turning the job down two times, for fear of looking like a failure with my return, and praying constantly about my decision, I concluded that "what's meant for you will not pass you". That quote took me on a cross-country trip back to the east coast about six months after we parted ways.
Over the course of the last year, I decided to face the truth and hold myself accountable for my part in the relationship. I had to look at myself and where I went wrong, where I resisted, and where I caused strain. We argued often, and frankly, it was a toxic environment and toxic relationship. I realized (and admit) that over time, we lost respect for each other through lack of communication and resentment. Truthfully, I tried to leave the relationship on multiple occasions, but I buried my head in the sand because I feared being alone in Denver, and feared being alone in life.
There was a lot of immaturity in the relationship and no matter how many times we tried to "fix" us, we'd just put a Band-Aid on the surgical wound and move on. Our foundation was severely cracked, and when we decided to finally address our issues, the crevice was already a crater and it was too late. Honestly, I never thought or believed he'd leave me. While our relationship was a vicious cycle, no matter how loud I yelled to be heard or how many times we "broke up" he always came back and we were better than ever – until the next fight. I figured that every relationship had problems and we'd eventually work things out and continue to build our life together.
The admission and recognition that I was wrong and partially to blame was especially hard for me and I felt insurmountable guilt. Not only was I wrong about him and the man I believed him to be, I was wrong about who I was and what I thought I stood for as a strong woman. I was exhausted from the countless arguments, the shaming, and the hurtful words he spoke about me which simply broke me down. I lost my strength, my spark and fire, my independence, and ultimately myself. I also began to realize this was part of my path, and became determined to journey in order find myself and become a better version of who I am as a friend, sister, daughter, and woman.
Wholeheartedly, I believe that we can begin to mend our broken hearts by letting go of our own guilt and anger in order to forgive ourselves and we can begin to move forward strengthening our hearts for the next journey of our lives without resistance. We may never forget what happened or the pain it caused, but if we can learn from our own mistakes and our offender's mistakes alike, then we are growing as individuals and we can improve ourselves in every facet of our lives with freedom.
My story isn't about forgiving my ex for leaving me for another woman, it's about forgiving myself and finding strength within to accept who I am. I believe that forgiveness is a strong, courageous, and empowering act. Forgiveness means loving and respecting myself wholly, finding happiness within while embracing my body, my flaws, my shortcomings, and my beliefs. Forgiving is to set goals, to achieve and conquer, and to rise above. Ultimately, though, forgiving means finding peace in my heart, candidly, in order to set myself free.
Over the last year and a half, I have been through a complete wave of emotions, but I also believe the choppy waters I've been on have taught me essential life lessons which I will carry forward. I learned how to let go and face my fears, I learned that vulnerability is not weakness (rather it's courage), and I learned that while time helps heal, forgiveness is the best way to restore a hurting heart to become the woman I was meant to be.
While I never got the answers that I so desperately sought, I am appreciative for my chapter in Colorado where I made some unforgettable memories, with and without my ex. Though now he's just someone I used to know, I am thankful to have experienced our love. Not every day is easy, nor will it be, but I am extremely grateful for the peaks and valleys on my journey; they formed the mountains that brought me to my current adventure.
Today, I live in Pittsburgh, closer to family, friends, and with my golden retriever, Rocky. I love running through my new city and making new friends. I vow to continue my growth with my faith and myself. I vow to continue to discover the silver lining through vulnerability, strength, grace, and a forgiving heart and I vow to have an open mind for every challenge or opportunity that requires me to turn the page and begin a new chapter of my book.

Why Do Young People Experience More Déjà Vu?
Most people have experienced déjà vu at some point in their lives — that eerie phenomenon where an experience feels way more familiar than it should. As many as 70 percent of people have experience with the feeling, but the people who feel it most are those between 15 and 25 years old. The reason why is mysterious, but it could shed light on why déjà vu happens in the first place.
It Seems We Stood and Talked Like This Before
Déjà vu is incredibly complex, and we still can't fully explain it. But like any scientific mystery, theories abound. Swiss scholar Arthur Funkhouser, for instance, thinks there are different kinds of déjà vu. Déjà visité is the feeling that you've already visited a place you know you've never been before, while déjà vecu is the feeling you've already experienced a situation that should be new to you. Déjà rêvé is another sensation where you feel you've already dreamed an experience you're having.
Scientists also notice that feelings of déjà vu often occur right before someone has a temporal-lobe seizure, which offers its own clues. Others still think it has to do wish fulfillment or a past life experience. The answers are murky at best.
The Memories of Youth
Scientists may not be able to explain its cause, but they can describe its frequency — and that frequency is highest in young people. Multiple studies have found that people experience déjà vu most in their teens and early 20s, then experience it gradually less as they age. Various studies have found that the percentage of people who report experiencing déjà vu hovers around 70 to 80 percent for people in their teens and twenties and drops to 50 to 60 percent in people beyond that age.
But that doesn't mean that you have more déjà vu the younger you are — there aren't any babies out there with the eerie feeling that they ate these exact same mashed carrots. While no one has studied the question of what age most people have their first déjà vu experience, some researchers think the human brain isn't mature enough make it happen until a person is 8 or 9 years old. And in any case, you have to know what déjà vu is to report experiencing it, and many children probably don't learn about it until their mid-teen years.
Scientists note, however, that it's possible this higher incidence of déjà vu in younger people might be an artifact of culture rather than a side effect of an aging human mind. Long-term surveys find that the total number of people who "believe in" déjà vu has increased over the decades, so the fact that older people are less likely to report déjà vu experiences could just be a result of them having less belief in the phenomenon in general than young people do.
Still, if it's not a fluke in the data, why would young people have more experiences of déjà vu than older people? After all, older people, by definition, have more memories that can go on the fritz. Don't memory problems increase with age? It may mean that déjà vu is actually the sign of a healthy mind, not an unhealthy one. The difference between a real memory and déjà vu is that moment when you realize you shouldn't be having that feeling of recognition. That realization may be the thing that older brains lose. Maybe older people have déjà vu just as much as younger people, but they're worse at spotting the difference between a real memory and a mind glitch.

Australia's first offshore wind farm, an $8 billion 2000 megawatt project, has secured financial backing from a major international green energy investment fund.
Offshore Energy has joined with Danish fund management group Copenhagen Infrastructure Partnership to develop the renewable energy project.
The offshore wind farm, dubbed the Star of the South, will be built 10 to 25 kilometres off the coast of Victoria's Gippsland region, in the Bass Strait, and could provide one and a half times the energy of the now-closed Victorian Hazelwood coal-fired power station.
Offshore Energy managing director Andy Evans told Fairfax Media the partnership would transform the company and lift the viability of offshore wind for Australia.
This project also marks CIP's first venture into the Southern Hemisphere. CIP has more than €5 billion ($A7.79 billion) under management and invests in renewable energy projects.
Mr Evans declined to say how much CIP had invested in the project but described it as ''long-term serious investment for the life of the project''.
"Star of the South offers a unique opportunity within offshore wind in a new market," CIP senior partner Torsten Lodberg Smed said.
Offshore Energy said Star of the South would comprise up to 250 turbines over an area of 574 square kilometres, and generate 8000-gigawatt hours of energy annually, enough to power 1.2 million homes, and account for nearly 20 per cent of Victoria's energy demand.
Mr Evans said offshore wind provides constant generation compared to onshore wind, providing increased electricity security.
"When placed in the right wind conditions like those off the coast of Gippsland, offshore wind delivers a high, consistent flow of electricity," he said.
It aims to begin energy generation as early as 2024.
Now Offshore Energy has secured financial support, the focus would be obtaining its final exploration licences from the Commonwealth government to fully map the offshore area, analysing specific wind patterns using floating laser measurement technology, Mr Evans said.
Feasibility studies will be carried out in the second half of 2018.
There is unlikely to be a listing for the company in the medium term, Mr Evans said.
CIP typically carries out long-term investments and is more likely to hold its position in Offshore Energy.
The partnership with Offshore Energy brings CIP's total offshore wind farms under management to three, including the 664 megawatt Beatrice project in Scotland, and the 402 megawatt Veja Mate project off Germany's coast, in the North Sea.
Star of the South is currently Australia's only offshore wind project.
"The industry doesn't really exist at the moment," Mr Evans told Fairfax Media.
However, it is not Australia's only offshore renewable energy project in development.
There are a number of wave energy projects currently underway around the nation's coast. Wave Swell Energy is one wave energy generator that is also using the Bass Strait as its testing grounds.
The group is carrying out commercial validation of its technology off King Island, in the Bass Strait.
It has signed an offtake agreement with Hydro Tasmania for an initial 200-kilowatt trial unit, and will operate during 2018 after its initial funding goals are reached.


Between March 7-10 at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center, the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies (4As) will once again host the country's largest biennial event in marketing and advertising: Ad Summit Pilipinas 2018.
But in the past year, advertisers have rolled out campaigns that challenge the way we think about ROI. They may not have exactly or immediately earned more than what they spent in executing them, but they created lasting impressions on their target that are just as valuable as any sales or revenue equivalent.
This is what Ad Summit 2018 is all about. The four-day event encourages a new, do-it-yourself approach towards ROI—to customize it's meaning in a way that disrupts marketing communication and benefits all parties involved: brands, agencies, media, and of course, the people that the aforementioned intend to reach.
Seven speakers, both local and international, will provide insight on what made their creative campaigns a success. Ad Summit Pilipinas will also hold the Creative Guild's Kidlat Awards, the most prestigious creative advertising competition in the Philippines.
Interested participants may contact the 4A's secretariat at 813-4397 or 893-1205, or e-mail: [email protected] Registration may also be done through the summit's official page (www.adsummit.ph).

Wilfred Israel Duphiney (1884-1960) was a portrait artist, born in Central Falls, RI. He attended Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and later taught courses at RISD for nearly 40 years. He made a living from commissioned portraits of (mostly) Rhode Islanders, and illustration work as well.... He was a member of the Providence Art Club and had a studio at the Fleur-de-Lys building at 7 Thomas Street on College Hill in Providence, RI.
As part of a larger personal research project, I wanted to create a gallery of my grandfather's art work. Some of the images are from photo documentation created at the time the artwork was completed -- I don't know who did the photography and they are in B&W (a little bit of a blessing in disguise since color film degrades quicker). Other images came from photos by family (myself included) - documenting artwork that hangs on their walls (or is stashed in a closet!). Recently, I have been contacted by other people who have offered to send photos of Duphiney portraits they own -- which was a pleasant surprise -- and I welcome and encourage other people to do this as well (lauraelizabethsebastianelli at gmail dot com).
Eventually, I hope to curate the galleries into more of an exhibition style, but for now I need to better see how much of the breadth and depth of my grandfather's work can be found, digitized, and posted here. While my grandfather was a prolific artist in RI, there is no central place to see his work. Duphiney's portraits (and even some other genres) can be found in the RI State House, Providence City Hall, Brown University, URI, RISD, the Providence Art Club, Catholic Diocese of Providence, libraries, hospitals and more, and perhaps more importantly in family homes throughout RI.
We don't know any related artists to Wilfred Duphiney. Do you?


Remembering the monsoons! ~ The Wandering Soul's Wander Tales..
The other day I was running late from work to home. I had to run in the rain to catch the bus and as I ran, the raindrops falling on my head reminded of something. I stopped at the bus, waited for the thought to settle down, smiled and got home.I've had some amazing trips in the monsoons, did crazy things, went to awesome places, got drenched to the core and had the time of my life.
Here's remembering five monsoon experiences that I have written about.
"Taking chances everywhere, we moved from place to place and were never disappointed. The misty mountain tops, the wild flowers, the raging streams, the screaming cascades, the greener than the green forest canopy, the damp forest floor and monsoon magic in all its glory was all mine to enjoy. I totally loved the idea of such exclusivity."
Read more about this eventful trip here - The Extremely Eventful Month of July 2011.
"We crossed the waterfalls, to make our lives miserable, it started to rain – heavily! We had two raincoats and a jacket with us. So we were like big deal! Nothing can dampen our spirits and off we go towards the peak which included more slippery rocks at a slant angle. Finally around 4.30 PM we reached the peak.
It was raining and we were soaking wet.
Ecstatic I felt mostly but also there was a doubt lurking somewhere at the back of my mind about our descent the same day. When it rains it pours and so it did! Mist covered everything around and visibility reduced badly."
Read more about being stranded on the peak, in the rain for a whole night here - Mission Kumara Parvatha!
"Momentary lapse of judgment is what I call, the thing which happens to you when you travel. You put your trust in complete strangers hoping everything will work out fine. The bikes didn't even have proper brakes and the route was something that would do for a good action chase sequence. After all, who in their right mind would go drive on the gravel next to the railway tracks? When I say next to railway tracks all we had for the tire to tread is about 30cms of gravel in water. Next to it, the land sloped down. Needless to say the fall will be fatal. There was no road. We were offroading in the rain, sitting behind riders whom we knew nothing about and bikes which seemed like were from another century."
Read more about the "Legendary" trip here - The Legendary Monsoon Pilots of Goa!
"We went hysteric watching such beauty and then it rained. Then it rained more. Then it rained more and more. It was dark and we were drenched to the core and then lightning struck! A loud thunder and a second of light in the dark night and then more lightning while we wandered in the open grounds! We rushed back to the nearby village to take shelter at the village school."
"It was pouring and as soon we entered the forest, the slimy black creatures got to work with an intensity that left only five out of the sixteen trekkers on the trail within the first 10 minutes. The leeches there were blood thirsty as if they were starving for ages and they attacked us with a rigor that could only be matched by the fiercest warrior! Blood was shed, I tell no lies."
"You see the thing with waterfalls is you won't be fully delighted until you get up close and personal with it! Awesome feeling it is, experiencing the full force of the thundering cascades, the feeling of being completely dwarfed by the towering cascades, the feeling of being justly rewarded after hours of walk in the dirt and leech infested trails at the first sight of the white cascades! Waterfalls.. it's all about waterfalls!"
What was your favorite monsoon trip? Tell me in the comments below.
lovely post!! remember reading some of those posts, and enjoyed reading the others i had missed.. among all of these, the only one i have experienced is kodaikanal in the rains! and that was on my honeymoon, when it rained .. and rained... and rained!!! but we had a wonderful time getting drenched and walking around!! and just last week, we went to mahabaleshwar, and it rained and rained!! it was so much fun!
Magnificent clicks, Neelima. Love the monsoons.
Wow! Every pic is beautiful!
And my favorite monsoon trip was to a tiny village Purushwadi in the Western Ghats, staying in tents and going out in the night to see a million fireflies!
Must've been quite an experience. I love fireflies.
Brilliant photographs accompanied by lucid writing! Your blog is a real feast for the eyes and mind.. Well done Neelima!!
I think these are the best places for weekend getaways.
Yep, good places to escape over the weekends from Bangalore.
One second shot of picture tells the different story but easy to see but difficult to take .

La patologia quirúrgica (o anatomopatologia quirúrgica) consisteix en l'examen macroscòpic i microscòpic de les peces quirúrgiques o biòpsies aportades principalment per les especialitats mèdiques quirúrgiques (cirurgia general, dermatologia, radiologia invasiva, etc.), per tal d'assolir el diagnòstic definitiu de la malaltia (o la manca de malaltia).

Això es fa generalment per l'examen dels teixits, amb una valoració combinada de l'aspecte de visu (és a dir, macroscòpic) i de les alteracions histològiques (és a dir, microscòpiques) de les mostres seleccionades, podent requerir estudis addicionals dels teixits mitjançant tècniques immunohistoquímiques, tincions especials, estudis biomoleculars o altres proves de laboratori.

La patologia quirúrgica és l'àrea de més dedicació dels anatomopatòlegs. Una de les seves labors rellevants és la pràctica de biòpsies intraoperatòries.

Гориця і Градишка (; ; ) —  колишнє Габсбурзьке графство в Центральній Європі, на сьогоденному кордоні Італії та Словенії. Назву має від двох великих міських центрів — Горіція і Градіска-д'Ізонцо.

У складі Габсбурзької імперії

Графство Гориця увійшло до складу Габсбурзьких володінь у 1500, коли граф Леонард помер, не залишивши спадкоємця.  Габсбурзький сюзеренітет було перервано короткочасно венеціанцями у 1508-1509. У 1647 році сусіднє місто Градіска-д'Ізонцо отримало власне графство під кермом князів Еггенбергів (Eggenberg). 1754 року Градіска-д'Ізонцо була знову об'єднана з Горіцією, створивши графство Гориця і Градишка (Grafschaft Görz und Gradisca / Contea di Gorizia e Gradisca).

Під час наполеонівських війн Гориця і Градишка потрапили під французьку владу. У 1805 році всі терени на правому березі річки Ізонцо (в тому числі міста Градіска-д'Ізонцо і західні околиці Гориці) увійшли до  наполеонівського Королівства Італія. Велика частина його терену залишається частиною Австрійської імперії до 1809 року, коли її було включено в Іллірійські провінції під безпосереднім керуванням Французької імперії. У 1813 році австрійська влада була відновлена. Графство було відновлено в колишніх кордонах, включаючи анклави Монфальконе і Градо, які перебували під венеціанським контролем до 1797 року. Проте у 1816 році графство було включено в ширшу адміністративну одиницю — Іллірійське королівство, зі столицею в Любляні. У 1849 Іллірійське королівство було скасоване, і Австрійське Примор'я було адміністративно розкраяно на графство Гориця і Градишка, Трієст і Істрію. У 1861 році графство отримало автономію Княжий округ Гориця і Градишка (Gefürstete Grafschaft Görz und Gradisca/Principesca Contea di Gorizia e Gradisca/Poknežena grofija Goriška in Gradiščanska) у статусі коронна земля Австро-Угорщини. Округ мав свій провінційний парламент і користувався значною мірою самоврядуванням, хоча офіційно підпорядковувався імперському губернатору (Landeshauptmann) з резиденцією у Трієсті, який здійснював державний нагляд за всім Австрійським Примор'ям.

У 1915 році Італія вступила у війну проти Австро-Угорщини. Західна частина округу була зруйнована в результаті битв при Ізонцо. У серпні 1916 Гориця була окупована італійськими військами вперше у своїй історії, але в листопаді 1917 року австро-угорська армія відкинула італійські війська в битві при Капоретто. Велика кількість населення була інтернована в громадянські табори в Австро-Угорщину та Італію, в той час як майже половина території провінції лежала у руїнах.

Навесні 1918 року два масові політичні рухи з'явилися в країні, вимагаючи більшої автономії в рамках федералізованої Габсбурзької монархії. Словенці зажадали союзу з іншими південнослов'янськими народами в незалежній Югославії, фріули вимагали особливої автономії для західної частини регіону, де вони становили більшість. Два рухи не мали проблем, оскільки вони не боролися за терен. Єдиним відкритим питанням було місто Гориця, на яке претендували і словенці, і фріули. Підпільний рух, відомий як Italia irredenta, вимагав приєднання Гориці до Італії. У листопаді 1918 року весь терен округу було окуповано італійськими військами, які придушили всі політичні рухи в регіоні.

Прикордонна область Італії

У листопаді 1918 року округ було офіційно скасовано і включено в адміністративний район Венеція-Джулія. Згідно з Рапалльським і Сен-Жерменським мирними договорами весь терен округу став невід'ємною частиною Королівства Італія. Колишня політика Габсбургів, спрямована на підтримку місцевих автономій, була замінена суворим централізмом. Провінції Гориця було залишено замало автономії у порівнянні з Габсбурзькою владою. Межі нової провінції були частково змінені. Нова провінція включила деякі райони колишнього австрійського герцогства Крайна, які відійшли до Італії, згідно з мирним договором (райони Ідрія, Віпава і Айдовщина). З іншого боку, більша частина території регіону Крас, які належали округу Гориця і Градишка, були включені до складу провінції Трієст, а район Червіньяно-дель-Фріулі було включено до провінції Удіне.

У 1924 році провінція Горіція була скасована, а її терен включено до провінції Фріулі, столицею якої був Удіне, за винятком адміністративного округу Монфальконе і міста Градо, які стали частиною провінції Трієст. У 1927 році провінція Горіція була відтворена приблизно на тому ж терені, за винятком району Червіньяно-дель-Фріулі, що залишився у провінції Удіне, а  Монфальконе і Градо лишилися у провінції Трієст. Зі встановленням фашистського режиму розпочалася насильницька італізація краю. Ця політика проводилася в три етапи: по-перше, все державне адміністрування було італізовано — словенська та німецька втратили статус офіційних мов, а по-друге, вся освіта (як державна, так і приватна) була переведена на італійську, по-третє, всі  словенські та німецькі громадські організації були заборонені. Також відбулася зміна назв сіл, заборона на використання мови, крім італійської, у громадських місцях, заборона надання слов'янських імен дітям, насильницька зміна словенських прізвищ тощо. Ця політика супроводжувалася політичними переслідуваннями і залякуваннями. До 1927 року всі словенські організації були оголошені поза законом, в тому числі всі засоби масової інформації, видавництва, культурні асоціації, а також фінансові та економічні компанії, що належали словенським організаціям. Тільки видавництву Hermagoras Society було дозволено друк релігійних книжок словенською мовою. Більшість словенських інтелектуалів і фахівців були змушені покинути регіон, багато хто з них оселився в Королівстві Югославії або емігрував в Аргентину.

Друга світова війна і післявоєнний розділ

У 1941 році війська країн осі увійшли в Югославію, ситуація ще погіршилась. 1942 року югославські партизани проникли в регіон з терену провінції Любляна. Відбулося декілька кровопролитних зіткнень між партизанами та італійськими військовими. Після італійського перемир'я у вересні 1943 року нацистська Німеччина окупувала регіон і включила його в Операційну Зону Адріатичного Узбережжя, на чолі з гауляйтером Фрідріхом Райнером.

Вже у вересні 1943 року більша частина краю була захоплена прокомуністичним Фронтом звільнення Словенії, який створив кілька важливих баз у регіоні, в тому числі відомий партизанський шпиталь Франя. Але бої між партизанами і німецькими військами тривали. Незабаром німецька влада прийняла прагматичний підхід у відношенні місцевого словенського населення: було дозволено знову публічне використання словенської мови. Антикомуністична колабораціоністська міліція (Словенське домобранство) також спробувала ввести свої війська у край, але мала замало успіху.

На час закінчення Другої світової війни в 1945 році майже вся область була звільнена Югославською народною армією, але Югославія була змушена вивести війська із західної частини краю.

Протягом двох років Гориця і Градишка була спірним тереном між Італією і Соціалістичною Федеративною Республікою Югославією, поділена лінією Моргана. Територія на захід від лінії (включаючи всю долину Сочі, нижню течію Віпави і більшість плато Крас) були окуповані британськими та американськими військами, у той час як схід залишився під управлінням югославської армії. У вересні 1947 року область була остаточно розділена між двома країнами: Югославія отримала більшу частину сільської території у східній частині, в той час всі західні низовини і міський центр Гориця залишилися в Італії. Невелика частина області Крас між Трієстом і Дуїно була включена в зону під управлінням союзників Вільна територія Трієст (яка стала частиною Італії в 1954 році).

Гориця і Градишка таким чином перестала існувати як єдина історична область. Її югославська частина стала невід'ємною частиною Соціалістичної Республіки Словенія: більша частина її території була включена в регіон Горишка, за винятком плато Крас, яке було включено в Прибережно-Краський статистичний район. Новим центром стала Нова Гориця ("Nova Gorizia"), побудована наприкінці 1940-х і на початку 1950-х років. Італійська частина увійшла до складу автономної області Фріулі-Венеція-Джулія у межах провінції Горіція.
