Jay-Z slams Trump's 'shithole' comments
Jay-Z talks about President Trump's "shithole countries" remarks with CNN's Van Jones.

President Donald Trump is taking credit for a decline in the African-American unemployment rate again, this time by taking aim at rapper and businessman Jay-Z following his comments on CNN Saturday night.
"Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!" Trump tweeted Sunday morning.
The latest unemployment rate for African-Americans is 6.8%, while the rate is 3.7% percent for white people. Both the African-American rate and the overall rate have declined steadily since 2010.
The President's tweet follows Jay-Z's remarks on the premiere of CNN's "The Van Jones Show," where the rapper addressed Trump.
Asked by Van Jones whether it's OK for Trump "to say terrible things but put money in our pockets" amid Trump's claims that unemployment for African-Americans has dropped, Jay-Z said no, "because it's not about money at the end of the day. Money doesn't equate to happiness. It doesn't. That's missing the whole point.
"You treat people like human beings. That's the main point," he said. "It goes back to the whole thing -- 'treat me really bad and pay me well.' It's not going to lead to happiness, it's going to lead to, again, the same thing. Everyone's going to be sick."
On Sunday, Jones expanded on how the unemployment rate for African-Americans has been dropping since the Obama administration.
"And I gave Trump -- continuing a lot of trends that have been going on anyway, black unemployment is pretty good," Jones told CNN's Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources." "Should he get credit for it? Jay-Z said something you don't hear from many billionaires. He said, you know what? It's not about money. It's about the respect.
"I mean, he could have come in and done stuff that reversed that trend. He could have come in and done terrible things. And he didn't. So there was a bull market under Obama. He kept that going, maybe accelerated it. Unemployment was coming down. He kept that going. Great. But you're not listening to the voices of the black community who say that's not enough to make up for S-hole countries. That's not enough to make up for insulting black football players, saying all of our communities are terrible."
Scholars attribute the disparity in unemployment rates to a combination of factors: Hiring discrimination, lower educational attainment and a higher rate of people with criminal records, who are barred from many occupations.
RELATED: Black unemployment is at a record low. But there's a lot more to the story
There has been improvement over the years. In 1990, only 11.3% of African Americans had four-year college degrees, compared to 22% for whites, according to Census data. In 2017, those numbers had risen to 24% and 34.5%.

ScienceNight Ruhr is one of the youngest and largest Science Festivals in Germany. Every two years this polycentric Researchers' Night turns the dynamic Ruhr Region into a swirling "Knowledge Metropolis". Many scientists working in the different scientific institutions in the region are presenting a dialogue-oriented, interactive programme. The main target groups of ScienceNight Ruhr are families, students and young professionals and of course everybody interested in research and science.
The Ruhr Metropolis in North Rhine-Westphalia is the largest urban agglomeration in Germany. In this post-industrialized region with about 5 million inhabitants, ScienceNight Ruhr invites thousands of visitors of all ages to enjoy, experience and debate science. As a biannual format ScienceNight Ruhr is a landmark of the region's strategic development from a post-industrial region, still shaped by a strong tradition of coal mining and steel production, into a dynamic "Knowledge Metropolis". ScienceNight Ruhr is seen as an essential element in this development process – emphasizing the role of science and innovation as a motor for sustainable economic and socio-cultural development.
The festival will be organized in the whole Ruhr Metropolis. ScienceNight Ruhr is organized by the Ruhr Regional Association in close collaboration with a large number of Universities and Scientific Institutions. The next Science Night takes place on September 28th, 2018.


RFID technology has been endlessly debated for quite some time now within industry and retail. Certainly, it has evolved rapidly in recent years and is becoming more and more important. RFID technology makes it possible to broadly identify objects in large quantities. German companies employ the term "Industry 4.0" widely and are working hard to figure out new ways in which the technology can improve business. RFID and Industry 4.0 are directly linked to each other. The company Winckel has demonstrated this clearly with its latest technology developments.
Waldemar Winckel is a leading full service provider of RFID-based process management systems. For many years now, they have been determined to calculate how to use the new RFID technology options efficiently for object identification in order to tap its full potential within industry and logistics. The CEO Jörg Bald specifies the results as "event-based process management". Our new system platform "AMIA" enables you to benefit from the extensive opportunities.
Intelligent logics can analyse large volumes of data from identification processes in real time and are independently managing complex process chains. The "logics" trigger automated, appropriate actions, and these are designed to manage, inform or control. In addition, the logics provide important information about possible problems and their causes, as well as actionable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
The AMIA information level monitors and visualises relevant figures (KPIs) in real time for the user, AMIA clearly shows alerts or malfunctions and quota deviations via SMS or e-mail. The information level also processes collected data and shows these within statistics and reports. On another level, processes are targeted. In this case, the platform provides tools and applications for intelligent, reliable real-time process control such as Kanban, loading control or picking monitoring.
AMIA is divided into several modules. A comprehensive device management supports the control of the hardware components in use. "On-board" applications such as real time locating (RTLS) and tracking & tracing (T&T) are already available in an application module. Other modules are used for intelligent process control, information retrieval and visualisation (dashboards). A variety of standard interfaces also ensures smooth import as well as data and information tranfer to higher-level systems such as ERP or MES. NoSQL databases, cluster capability, complex event processing, scalability and other features provide the required technological performance and security. AMIA has a dynamic data model (schema-less data) and adapts to the customers' specific requirements. The application level of the software is browser-based (HTML 5) and does not require any complex installation.
"AMIA" allows companies to increase their transparency, efficiency and flexibility considerably. As the platform grows so does its ability – this makes the set-up costs and the potential benefits fascinating to analyse. The application of these new options, however, usually requires a process reanalysis and an expert analysis of the initial and the optimum situation from both a technical and an economic point of view. For more than 15 years, Winckel has been developing a specially tailored portfolio of consulting services, which are designed to locate existing potentials in close cooperation with the customer, to define action fields and to implement them in order of priority. Our aim is always to start with "neuralgic" points of the company – when these are tackled, we achieve the quickest ROI, says Jörg Bald. Often this takes less than a year.

Sidney Poitier RIP
Poitier in 2012, photo by Prphotos
Place of Birth: Miami, Florida, U.S.
Date of Death: January 6, 2022
Place of Death: Los Angeles, California, U.S.
Ethnicity: African-Bahamian
Sir Sidney Poitier was a Bahamian and American actor, film director, activist, and ambassador. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Lilies of the Field (1963). His many roles over five decades also included Blackboard Jungle, The Defiant Ones, Porgy and Bess, A Raisin in the Sun, A Patch of Blue, To Sir, with Love, In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Uptown Saturday Night, Shoot to Kill, and Sneakers. He was the Bahamian ambassador to Japan, from 1997 to 2007. He was the first black person to win a lead actor Oscar.
He was born in Miami, Florida, to African-Bahamian parents, Evelyn (Outten/Outen) and Reginald James Poitier, and was raised on Cat Island, in the Bahamas, later moving to Nassau, and then, at fifteen, to Miami and New York in the U.S. His parents owned a farm on the island, and sold produce in Miami. Sidney was born there during one such visit.
Sidney was married to Canadian actress Joanna Shimkus, until his death. He had four children with his former wife Juanita Hardy; and two children, including actress Sydney Tamiia Poitier, with Joanna.
The surname Poitier is considered a Norman name.
Sidney's paternal grandfather was March Poitier (the son of David Poitier and Margaret Ambrose). David may have been the son of Sire Poiter, who was born in Caicos Island, Turks and Caicos Islands, to an African father. Margaret may have been the daughter of March Ambrose and Charlotte.
Sidney's paternal grandmother was Emma Jane "Emily" Evans (the daughter of Charles Evans and Jane).
Sidney's maternal grandfather was named Timothy Outten/Outen. Timothy was born on Rum Cay, Bahamas.
Sidney's maternal grandmother was named Virginia Farrington/Farington.
Sidney was sometimes said to have had Haitian ancestors on his father's side. This does not appear to be accurate.

Sidney's uncle has claimed that the Poitier ancestors on his father's side had migrated from Haiti. The surname Poitier is a French name.
IslandYankee says:
Although his family believed it, it's likely not true, at least not on Sidney's Poitier or Outen/Outten lines. Both names go back to white Bahamian plantation owners in the 1700s. The Poitier plantation, which was on the island Sidney's family was from (Cat Island), was especially large, so there are nearly 1,000 Bahamians who have the surname today.
Basically, his family believed a really good story, but it wasn't based in fact. It's certainly possible that some of his other lines had Haitian ancestry, but no Bahamian genealogist has ever found a trace of it.

La capa d'aire sahariana és una capa de l'atmosfera terrestre intensament càlida i seca i de vegades amb pols mineral que està sovint per sobre d'una capa més humida i fresca de l'oceà Atlàntic. En la regió del desert del Sàhara on s'origina aquesta capa és l'atmosfera prevalent que s'estén des de la superfície fins diversos quilòmetres amunt. És aixecada sobre la capa marina més densa. Això constitueix una inversió tèrmica en què paradoxalment la temperatura s'incrementa amb l'altitud. Algunes de les tempestes de sorra associades a la capa poden arribar a 6.000 m d'altitud i arribar tan lluny com Amèrica del Nord. Els núvols de pol es poden veure en fotos de satèl·lit.

Les partícules de pols riques en ferro sovint reflecteixen la llum solar i fan baixar la temperatura de l'atmosfera i redueixen l'escalfament dels oceans, augmenten la condensació, suprimeixen els vents i la formació de ciclons tropicals però no provoquen precipitacions.

zinvinzidrinzi the tenants
prefix zinvinzi suffix drinzi inginging rig bexigbgigbigbig
The zinvinzidrinzi (/zɪnˈvɪnzəˌdɹɪnzi/) is a grey and cyan colored, two-dimensional stranger that appears inside walls. Though embedded within a solid plane (and doing so without overt destruction of the space in which it appears), the zinvinzidrinzi is not holographic, and feels papery or paint-like when touched. Its size varies depending upon the size of the wall in which it appears, as does its number of legs (with most individuals possessing two to six sets of four legs). The zinvinzidrinzi's odor is like vinyl, but noticeable only at a distance of less than several inches. It leaves this smell behind on the hand of anyone who touches it, but does not taint its environment with this odor.
The zinvinzidrinzi's form is highly susceptible to changes within its environment. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 75°F causes it to dry out and flake apart, while moisture makes it grow soggy and soft. It is as flammable as paper, and has only inconsequential regenerative ability, with tears in its form closing up only by millimeters over several years.
The zinvinzidrinzi appears within the walls of large buildings, preferring places with daily shifts in activity as opposed to prolonged human contact. Offices, museums, and malls are common sites for a zinvinzidrinzi infestation, while apartments, hotels, police stations or dormitories are not.
The zinvinzidrinzi blinks into existence with only a small tap. Its initially legless body cracks the wall in 0.7% of instances, although these cracks are hairline-thin. When it first appears, the zinvinzidrinzi possesses a smaller width, but becomes slightly thicker over time. Its legs grow downward over a span of one to seven hours. Once these legs reach the bottom section of the wall, the zinvinzidrinzi rapidly grows active.
The zinvinzidrinzi is an energetic, if flighty, stranger. Limited in its movements, it is unable to leave the walls in which it appears. Only 34% of individuals are able to turn upon hitting an intersection, with the majority of zinvinzidrinzi instead being restricted to the plane within which they generate. In addition, larger zinvinzidrinzi are less likely to be able to turn, while smaller individuals are considerably more mobile.
The zinvinzidrinzi grows more restless when the wall around it is tapped, and enters a dormant state only in the complete absence of any stimulus. The zinvinzidrinzi's fast movements damage the walls around it, but only over the span of many decades, and not to the extent that structural integrity tends to be compromised, except in the case of very dilapidated buildings.
Although social, the zinvinzidrinzi is not capable of touching or moving past its companions. Regardless, it does make continuous attempts at closeness with its companions, with a zinvinzidrinzi being more likely to be near another zinvinzidrinzi than by itself. More socially inclined individuals, however, do experience a decrease in physical health as a result, their motions turning shaky and their bodies more brittle, with even rough patches in the wall breaking them up and severing their limbs.
The zinvinzidrinzi is normally silent or close-to-silent, but groups do speak to one another in a human-like voice when the building in which it dwells becomes devoid of tenant activity for more than several weeks at a time. The zinvinzidrinzi's voice varies as much as do the people in the city in which the stranger dwells.
Despite the restlessness that characterizes its typical movements, the zinvinzidrinzi grows still as a defensive mechanism when violent events occur within its vicinity. Aggressive actions between human beings appear to taint the area for the zinvinzidrinzi, and following such an occurrence, the strain's movement ceases altogether for several weeks. The zinvinzidrinzi displays a similar defensive response to audio of screams, and shivers following prolonged exposure to such audio. Its stability declines noticeably following this exposure.
The zinvinzidrinzi's containment within walls makes it difficult to interact with directly, but physical contact can be achieved when a sensitive partially tears down the walls in which the stranger lives, taking care to do so bit-by-bit so as not to frighten the easily-disturbed zinvinzidrinzi or destroy its body in the process.
Physical contact with the zinvinzidrinzi causes repetitive and involuntary motions, such as a clenching or unclenching of the hand, a rotating of the finger, a shaking of the arm, or a turning of the wrist. These motions tend to be localized to the arms and legs, but facial muscle spasms or clenching of the jaw is observed in a small minority. These tics persist for ten to seventeen months, growing weaker (but not disappearing completely) during sleep, and with recurrent flare-ups in the years that follow onset.
These muscle spasms occur in tandem with short-term memory problems, although the extent of these issues varies. Some individuals display only minor difficulties remembering small details about their lives, and become unable to recall the exact sequence of events that take place during a day, for example, or displaying difficulty re-telling the narrative of short stories or movies. Other individuals, however, are more severely affected, to the extent of being unable to count to ten or finish their sentences, let alone function in the world.
When killed by a sensitive, the zinvinzidrinzi's body becomes reflective1, a response that does not occur during death by other means.
"Maybe it wanted me to look upon it and see, a murderer was what I was becoming." Xiasheng, Lim. Welcome Evictions, 1,782
Upon witnessing the violent death of a sensitive (whether due to predatory strangers, murder at the hands of another sensitive, or any other cause), the zinvinzidrinzi vibrates for less than half a minute before breaking apart into large fragments.
Although the zinvinzidrinzi tends to experience wear-and-tear over the course of its life, under ideal circumstances, it does not age, but instead dies without warning. When, and only when, the zinvinzidrinzi dies near a sensitive, it does so with a deafening grinding sound. Because of this response, combined with the zinvinzidrinzi's hidden habitat, most sensitives become aware of its existence only upon the stranger's death.
Following its death, the zinvinzidrinzi's corpse spreads out, diffusing into powder, its edges blurring. Despite this diffusion, the zinvinzidrinzi's body does not decompose. While living zinvinzidrinzi are incapable of contact with one another, individuals are not prevented from touching their dead companions, and do with a shuddering gasp2.

Betsy Spills Toyota's Beans

To steal a line from Bogie: "Of all the publications in all the websites in all the world, she walks into Corporate Counsel." She – being Betsy Benjaminson, a freelance translator from Israel who was tasked with translating from Japanese into English documents regarding Toyota Unintended Acceleration. Corporate Counsel -- being the self-described "leading digital destination for in-house counsel to find breaking news and practical information." And this bit of breaking news? When you lie to the world about an automotive electronics problem that has the potential to result in fatal crashes, don't expect every underling to keep your secrets.
The story, entitled Is Toyota Telling the Truth About Sudden Acceleration? (Spoiler alert: the answer is: No.) is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a company in disarray with a technically challenging problem that its technicians weren't looking too hard to solve, while its legal and public relations gears clicked into place to drive the denial machine forward. Our favorite:
"Hagiwara and Chris Tinto, a V.P. for technical and regulatory affairs and safety, had been talking about the U.S. investigation and an earlier one in Europe that also involved unintended acceleration (UA).
'Tinto is extremely pessimistic,' Hagiwara wrote, 'and is saying (public hearings, someone will go to jail, I can't completely take care of the pedal problem, etc.).' Tinto's primary concerns (according to Hagiwara): 'For NHTSA, we said that our investigations in Europe found that the pedal return is a little slow at a slightly open position, and that there were no accidents, but this is not true. Last year's situation in Europe (many reports of sticking pedals and accidents, and a TI TS9-161 was filed on October 1, 2009) was not reported to NHTSA.' That failure, Tinto said, 'may be a violation of the TREAD Act'—the federal law that requires car manufacturers that conduct recalls in foreign countries to report these to U.S. regulators."
Benjaminson was apparently so disturbed by the unvarnished emails she was translating, cast against Toyota's public assurances, she leaked them. According to this story, some of the NASA scientists who worked on the February 2011 report that DOT Secretary Ray LaHood proclaimed an exoneration of Toyota electronics were so disturbed by the way they were forced to "investigate," they refused to sign the final product.
This story is well worth your time. It's not likely to aid digestion for any in-house counsel reading it over his or her cornflakes, but for those of us who have been challenging the narrative put forth by the auto industry and its enablers – NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation – that unintended acceleration is always detected by the vehicle electronics, and that the absence of this evidence is ironclad proof that the problem was a driver or a floormat, it's got the unmistakable ring of truth.

ANOTHER FRONT ROW FOR MERCEDES
Bottas beat LCH to top spot by just six hundredths of a second in a thrilling qualifying session for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Mercedes took advantage of Leclerc's dramatic crash to lock out the front row in Baku with Vettel only third on an evening to forget for Ferrari once again.
Leclerc had been the favourite to secure the front slot on the grid after dominating the weekend so far.
But after the 21-year-old put his Ferrari in the barriers, Bottas claimed the spoils with his final throw of the dice to beat Hamilton.
Sebastian Vettel (GER) Ferrari SF16-H at Formula One World Championship, Rd8, European Grand Prix, Practice, Baku City Circuit, Baku, Azerbaijan, Friday 17 June 2016.
The Finn took his second pole in as many races with the sun setting in Azerbaijan's capital following two crashes which delayed the running by almost an hour.
First, Robert Kubica hit the barriers at the narrow castle section, and then Leclerc did the same. The young Monegasque clipped the kerb at the left-handed entry to turn eight, and went head-on into the wall on the opposing side of the track.
"I am stupid, I am stupid," he said furiously over the radio before hitting his car with both hands as he emerged from the cockpit.
John Elkann, the Ferrari chairman, is in Azerbaijan this weekend, and he shook his head in response to his new driver's crash. "No excuses," tweeted Leclerc, who is set to start from ninth providing there are no hiccups putting his heavily-damaged car back together.
"I've been useless. I will push to have a better tomorrow. Sorry to all the people supporting us and even more to the whole team that deserved so much better."

Q: Why it's true? $\arcsin(x) +\arccos(x) = \frac{\pi}{2}$ The following identity is true for any given $x \in [-1,1]$:
$$\arcsin(x) + \arccos(x) = \frac{\pi}{2}$$
But I don't know how to explain it.
I understand that the derivative of the equation is a truth clause, but why would the following be true, intuitively?
$$\int^{x}_{C1}\frac{1\cdot dx}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} + \int^{x}_{C2}\frac{-1 \cdot dx}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} =\\
 \arcsin(x) - \arcsin(C1) + \arccos(x) - \arccos(C2) = 0 \\
 \text{while } \arcsin(C1) + \arccos(C2) = \frac{\pi}{2}$$
I can't find the right words to explain why this is true?

Edit #1 (25 Jan, 20:10 UTC):
The following is a truth clause:
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
\frac{d}{dx}(\arcsin(x) + \arccos(x)) = \frac{d}{dx}\frac{\pi}{2} \\
\\
\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} + \frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} = 0
\end{array}
$$
By integrating the last equation, using the limits $k$ (a constant) and $x$ (variable), I get the following:
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
\int^x_k\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}dx + \int^x_k\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}dx = \int^x_k0 \\
\\
\arcsin(x) - \arcsin(k) + \arccos(x) - \arccos(k) = m  \text{ (m is a constant)}\\
\\
\arcsin(x) + \arccos(x) = m + \arcsin(k) + \arccos(k) \\
\\
\text{Assuming that } A = m + \arcsin(k) + \arccos(k) = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ ,for } x \in [-1,1]
\end{array}
$$
Using Calculus, why is that true for every $x \in [-1,1]$?

Edit #2:
A big mistake of mine was to think that $\int^x_k0 = m \text{ (m is const.)}$, but that isn't true for definite integrals.
Thus the equations from "Edit #1" should be as follows:
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
\int^x_k\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}dx + \int^x_k\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}dx = \int^x_k0 \\
\\
\arcsin(x) - \arcsin(k) + \arccos(x) - \arccos(k) = 0\\
\\
\arcsin(x) + \arccos(x) = \arcsin(k) + \arccos(k) \\
\\
A = \arcsin(k) + \arccos(k) = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ ,for } x \in [-1,1]
\end{array}
$$

A: More simple....
From $\cos \alpha=\sin \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\alpha\right)$ we have:
$$
\cos y=x \Rightarrow \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-y\right)=x \Rightarrow
$$
$$
\Rightarrow
\begin{cases}
\arccos x=y \\
\arcsin x= \dfrac{\pi}{2}-y
\end{cases}
\Rightarrow
$$
$$
\Rightarrow
\arccos x+\arcsin x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}
$$

A: It is pretty obvious to see that $\sin$ and $\cos$ are the same curve, just shifted by $\pi/2$, so if you consider following craphis, it should be clear:

A: By definition, $\arcsin(x)$ is the angle $\alpha$  such that $\sin(\alpha) = x$ and $-\pi/2 \le \alpha \le \pi/2$, while $\arccos(x)$ is the angle $\beta$ such that $\cos(\beta) = x$ and $0 \le \beta \le \pi$.  Since  $-\pi/2 \le \alpha \le \pi/2$, $\cos(\alpha) \ge 0$, so we have $\cos(\alpha) = \sqrt{1 - x^2}$.  Similarly $\sin(\beta) = \sqrt{1-x^2}$.  Now
$$\eqalign{-\pi/2 &\le \arcsin(x) + \arccos(x) = \alpha + \beta  \le 3 \pi/2 \cr\sin(\alpha + \beta) &= \sin(\alpha) \cos(\beta) + \cos(\alpha) \sin(\beta) =
x^2 + 1 - x^2 = 1\cr
\cos(\alpha + \beta) &= \cos(\alpha) \cos(\beta) - \sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta) =  \sqrt{1-x^2} x - x \sqrt{1-x^2} = 0}$$
and the only angle in this interval with that sine and cosine is $\pi/2$.

A: You seem to be starting with the observation that
$$
\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}+\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}=0
$$
which has the consequence that, for any $c_1,c_2\in[-1,1]$,
$$
\int_{c_1}^{x}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx+\int_{c_2}^{x}\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx
$$
is constant, but not necessarily $0$.
Indeed
\begin{multline}
\int_{c_1}^{x}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx+\int_{c_2}^{x}\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx
=\\
\int_{c_1}^{x}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx+
\int_{c_2}^{c_1}\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx+
\int_{c_1}^{x}\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx
\end{multline}
and this sum is just
$$
\int_{c_1}^{c_2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx=\arcsin c_2-\arcsin c_1
$$
So the sum of the integrals you're computing is zero only if $c_1=c_2$.
The fact that $\arcsin x+\arccos x=\pi/2$ follows from differentiating: the function $f(x)=\arcsin x+\arccos x$ has zero derivative on $(-1,1)$, so it's constant in that interval and, being continuous on $[-1,1]$ it is constant also in $[-1,1]$. The constant can be evaluated as
$$
f(0)=\arcsin 0+\arccos0=0+\frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}.
$$

A: There are a couple of ways to see this. Firstly, draw a right triangle, call it $ABC$ (with $C$ being the right angle), with side lengths $a$, $b$ and $c$ with the usual convention. Then $\arcsin(\frac{b}{c})$ is the measure of the angle $CBA$. Additionally, $\arccos(\frac{b}{c})$ is the angle of the angle of the opposite angle $CAB$, so $\arccos(\frac{b}{c}) = \frac{\pi}{2}-\arcsin(\frac{b}{c})$ since the opposite angles must sum to $\frac{\pi}{2}$. From here, you get the result.
We could also do some calculus to figure it out. Let's let $f(x) = \arcsin(x)+\arccos(x)$. Then $f'(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} = 0$. Thus $f$ is constant. What is $f(0)$ equal to?

A: Write $\theta = \arcsin x$. By definition, this means:
$$\sin \theta = x, \qquad -\pi/2 \leq \theta \leq \pi/2.$$
You want to show that $\pi/2 - \theta = \arccos x$. By definition, this means:
$$\cos(\pi/2 - \theta) = x, \qquad 0 \leq \pi/2 - \theta \leq \pi.$$
The last inequality follows immediately from the bounds for $\theta$. Furthermore, we have $\cos(\pi/2 - \theta) = \sin \theta = x$ by the complementary angle formula.
Note: To prove the complementary angle formula $\cos(\pi/2 - \theta) = \sin \theta$ in general, an argument with a triangle is not enough, since it will only be valid for acute angles. It is preferable to consider the effect of the reflection through the line $y = x$ on points of the unit circle.

In this figure taken from Trigonometrija by Gel'fand, L'vovskij and Toom, the vertex $B = ?$ of the shaded triangle that is on the circle is the reflection through the diagonal (not shown) of the point $A$ with angular coordinate $x$. The angular coordinate of $B$ is $\pi/2 - x$, so $B = (\cos(\pi/2-x),\sin(\pi/2-x))$. We also have $A = (\cos x,\sin x)$. On the other hand, this reflection takes a point with coordinates $(a,b)$ to the one with coordinates $(b,a)$. Thus $B=(\sin x, \cos x)$, proving that $\cos(\pi/2 - x) = \sin x$. This argument is valid even if $x$ isn't in the first quadrant.

A: how about using unit circle?
first let us deal with the the first quadrant. we will pick two points $A = (x,y), B = (y,x)$ on the unit circle in the first quadrant. the two points are images of each other on the mirror along the line $y = x$ let us also label the points $P = (1,0), Q = (0,1)$
we will need the following two things:
(a) $arc PA = arc QB,$
(b) $arc PB + arc PA = \pi/2.$
let us use the definition, you can see why the name is apt,
$\arcsin y = \arccos x = arc PA$ where $A = (x, y)$ is a point on the unit circle.
using the above definition $$\arccos x = arc AP, \arcsin x = arc BP,  \arccos x + \arcsin x = arc AP + arc BP = \pi/2 $$
the range of $\arccos$ is $[0, \pi]$ and of $\arcsin$ is $[-\pi/2, \pi/2]$. so that when you have negative argument for $arccos$ the point in the second quadrant, and for $\arcsin$ is in the fourth quadrant. the same argument works when $x< 0.$

Q: How do you solve this series question? : $\cos (n\pi )/ \ln(6n) $ The problem is, Select the FIRST correct reason on the list why the given series converges.
A. Geometric series
B. Comparison with a convergent p series
C. Integral test
D. Ratio test
E. Alternating series test
I understand all the other sub problems except for this one:
$$\sum_1^\infty \frac{\cos(n\pi)}{\ln(6n)}$$
The answer is E, Alternating series test. The alternating series test is what you do if an alternating series doesn't converge absolutely using the absolute convergence test right? Anyways, I'm a little stumped on how to solve this problem.
My first thought was to take the absolute value of it, which means $\cos(n\pi)\leq 0$. Therefore the original sum was $\leq \frac{1}{\ln(6n)}$ ... Bla!
Any help would be very much appreciated!

A: Edit in response to Robert Israel's comment.
Since $\cos (n\pi )=(-1)^{n}$, the series is
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{(-1)^{n}}{\ln (6n)},$$
which converges by the alternating series test because $\frac{1}{\ln (6n)}\rightarrow 0$ and $1/\ln(6n)$ is monotone decreasing.
But
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{\ln (6n)}$$
is not convergent because:

*

*so is
$$\int_{1}^{\infty }\frac{dx}{\log (6x)},$$
as can be seen by the limit test with $$\int_{1}^{\infty }\frac{dx}{6x},$$
applying L'Hôpital's rule.

*Or by a direct comparison test with the divergent series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{6n}$
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{\ln (6n)}\ge\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{6n},$$
because the harmonic series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n}$ is divergent.

A: The expected answer is of course E.  But for fun we show that things are slightly more complicated than that.  If the question were "what is the simplest test to use,"
the answer would be unambiguously E. But the question is about the first test in the list. A somewhat tongue in cheek case for C is made below.
Our series is
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{\ln(6n)}.$$
For convenience, change all the signs.  So we are interested in
$$\left(\frac{1}{\ln(6)}-\frac{1}{\ln(12)}\right)+ \left(\frac{1}{\ln(18)}-\frac{1}{\ln(24)}\right)+ \left(\frac{1}{\ln(30)}-\frac{1}{\ln(36)}\right)+ \cdots.$$
Each group has shape
$$\frac{1}{\ln(12n+6)}-\frac{1}{\ln(12n+12)}.$$
Bring to a common denominator, then simplify the top. We get
$$\frac{\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{2n+1}\right)}{\ln(12n+6)\ln(12n+12)}.$$
But if $x$ is small positive, we have $0<\ln(1+x)<x$.
Now an easy integral test comparison with
$$\int_2^\infty \frac{dx}{x(\ln x)^2}$$
shows that we have convergence.

Jan Chryzostom Pasek, född omkring 1636 i Węgrzynowice, död 1 augusti 1701 i Niedzieliska, var en polsk militär och memoarförfattare.

Pasek uppfostrades av jesuiter och inträdde i krigstjänst. Under Stefan Czarniecki deltog han i fälttågen till Danmark och Ryssland, men drog sig 1667 tillbaka till sin lantegendom, där han författade sina kulturhistoriskt intressanta memoarer, Pamiętniki. De trycktes fullständigt först 1836, men ha sedan utkommit i flera upplagor. Anteckningarna sträcker sig till 1688. På danska finns en god översättning i urval av Stanisław Rosznecki 1896 ("Polakkerne i Danmark 1659"; tysk översättning 1838). Hans av latinska fraser och grov humor späckade stil ger en dråplig bild av författaren och hans tid.

Q: One hour interval - Laravel I'm trying to select all records based on date/time.
I have this timestamps in postgreSQL:
13/12/2020 11:00:00
14/12/2020 11:31:00
14/12/2020 12:30:00
14/12/2020 13:00:00
15/12/2020 02:00:00

I have a code in the controller getting all records:
    $start_date = date('d/m/Y 00:00:00');
    $end_date = date('d/m/Y 23:59:59');

    if($request->start_date != '' && $request->end_date != '')
    {
        // if user fill dates
        $dateScope = array($request->start_date, $request->end_date);
    } else {
        // default load page - today
        $dateScope = array($start_date, $end_date);
    };

  $results  = Tablemodel1::whereBetween('table1.recordtime', $dateScope)
    ->selectRaw('table1.recordtime','table2.info')
    ->orderBy('recordtime', 'ASC')
    ->get();

The goal is to select only records in every hour like this:
13/12/2020 11:00:00
14/12/2020 13:00:00
15/12/2020 02:00:00

I get error when use:
  $results  = Tablemodel1::whereBetween('table1.recordtime', $dateScope)
    ->selectRaw('extract(hour from table1.recordtime)','table2.info')
    ->orderBy('recordtime', 'ASC')
    ->get();

The error is:
Undefined index: recordtime

A: You could use LIKE to get the records with timestamps that have no minutes or seconds and if there's no other processing required.
$results  = Tablemodel1::whereBetween('table1.recordtime', $dateScope)
    ->where('table1.recordtime','LIKE', '%:00:00%')
    ->selectRaw('table1.recordtime','table2.info')
    ->orderBy('recordtime', 'ASC')
    ->get();

Also, your query could probably work with this slight fix (AS column_name)
$results  = Tablemodel1::whereBetween('table1.recordtime', $dateScope)
    ->selectRaw('extract(hour from table1.recordtime) AS recordtime','table2.info')
    ->orderBy('recordtime', 'ASC')
    ->get();

A: Please try something like this:
$result = Tablemodel1::select([
                 DB::raw('count(table2.info) as counted_info'),
                 DB::raw('DATE_FORMAT(table1.recordtime, "%H") hour'),
          ])
          ->whereBetween('table1.recordtime', $dateScope)
          ->groupBy('hour')
          ->orderBy('hour')
          ->get();

You should do the next steps:

*

*Format date

*Group by formatted date (Example: DATE_FORMAT(orders.created_at, "%b %d") day)

*Sort (optional)

*collect data

All possible formates described here:

Greenypeeps Tea
Ami Kashima
As a tea lover and enthusiast, I have been interested in finding sustainable alternatives after my previous review on Yorkshire Tea. While researching sustainable tea products online, I was drawn to Greenypeeps, which claimed to be the "world's first carbon negative tea". Greenypeeps was established by Ed Green in the UK and became the first in the world to go certified carbon neutral back in 2010. Despite their impressive project investments to be carbon negative while supporting their supplier community, the misleading "plastic-free" claims on their website was shocking considering that the company uses PLA and cellulose packaging. The use of greenwashing claims made a significant influence on my ratings towards Greenypeeps, leading to a score of 1.8/3.
Greenypeeps' English Breakfast teas are made from 100% organic and Fairtrade certified Ceylon black tea from the misty Uva mountains of eastern Sri Lanka. Their packaging consists of three parts; box, inner bag, and tea bags. Their box is made from recyclable cartons and only uses vegetable-based ink. Vegetable-based ink emits fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) during its production compared to petrol-based ink, which makes vegetable inks generally better for the environment than their counterparts. Although their box is recyclable, it is important to note that many people do not recycle, which eliminates the benefits of the product's recyclability. On their website, they do not mention how much recycled content they use for their box, so I hope that they will disclose this and aim to achieve circular packaging in the future by using 100% recycled materials. Their inner bag is made from clear biodegradable cellulose, which they claim to be home compostable and can be buried in gardens at home. However, biodegradable cellulose is still a type of bioplastic that can still end up in landfills or oceans and take a long time to break down if they are not disposed of properly. Greenypeeps' English Breakfast teas use square tea bags, which are made from organic cotton and wood fibres. I was happy to find out that they do not contain any plastic or PLA in these tea bags, unlike many other tea companies such as Twinings, Tetley and Yorkshire Tea that use plastic-containing tea bags. This led to the rating of 2.3 out of 3 for this section.
However, Greenypeeps' uses pyramid-shaped tea bags for other tea products, (e.g. Energising Tea, Revitalising Tea) which is made from PLA, a plant-based plastic. Although pyramid-shaped tea bags are not used for their English Breakfast tea, I would like to note that Greenypeeps use misleading claims to describe the sustainability of their pyramid-shaped tea bags. Surprisingly, they claim to be "100% plastic-free", saying "you won't find a scrap of plastic anywhere in our packaging". They even explicitly say "PLA (plastic-free)", although UK Plastics Pact advises against using "plastic-free" labels for PLA because plant-based plastics are still plastics. I believe that when they say "plastic-free", they mean that they are free from oil-based plastic but that should not justify their "plastic-free" labels, even though PLA is generally more sustainable. Furthermore, Greenypeeps claim that all parts of their packaging are "recyclable or home compostable'', but PLA cannot be composted at home as home composts cannot reach temperatures that are high enough to break them down.
Greenypeeps' misleading labels show a big contrast to my previous review on Yorkshire Tea, who were very honest and transparent about how PLA is not plastic-free and not home compostable. It made an impression on me that Greenypeeps is masking the limitations of PLA by using the wrong and misleading labels of "plastic-free" and "home compostable''. It is very ironic and hypocritical that they display their strong opposition against plastic on their website while using PLA for their tea bags and cellulose for their inner bag. It sounded to me like they are trying to appear to be more environmentally friendly than they really are using these greenwashing techniques. Again, the PLA-containing tea bags are not used in English Breakfast tea so this was not considered in the rating for this section, but it largely influenced the rating in the last section, under "Who makes it".
Greenypeeps Tea buys tea from farmers in the Hiniduma region in southwest Sri Lanka. The farmers tend their crop of tea plants and fruit trees and handpick only the young leaves that are tender. Their products are certified by Fairtrade which I believe uses fairly robust criteria and standards for their certification. Once a week, the farmer will take their leaves to the Galaboda tea factory to be graded, sorted and dried. Greenypeeps' tea masters make regular journeys to Galaboda to assess the tea and purchase quality tea batches in person. They do not mention where their tea masters are from but if they are relying on tea masters outside of Sri Lanka, I believe that training and hiring local tea masters will be a better option to reduce their carbon emission from travelling. They also do not mention how they transport their teas, which was a bit disappointing considering how much they emphasise being carbon negative. I believe that working on ways to minimise transport emissions will help us believe that they are trying to reduce their emissions, rather than solely relying on project investments to achieve their "carbon-negative" label.
Greenypeeps has measured and published the greenhouse gas cost of each type of their teas. The carbon cost of 20 packs of their English Breakfast tea is 1.39 kg of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent). They claim that their carbon capture investment is equivalent to 4.00 kg of CO2e for 20 packs of tea, so it can be interpreted that buying 20 packs of English Breakfast tea from Greenypeeps contribute to removing 2.61 kg of CO2e from the atmosphere. Greenypeeps claims that they capture more than twice the greenhouse gas they produce through investments in sustainability projects. For example, Greenypeeps have helped set up the Hiniduma Project, which so far contributed to planting 80,000 trees in the Hiniduma region of Sri Lanka and the project aims to expand to up to 20,000ha. They also invested in offsetting projects like the construction of hydroelectric powers in the Hapugastenne tea estate, which delivers zero-emission, renewable energy to the national grid of Sri Lanka. The project places the equivalent of over 5,000 tonnes of oil being burnt every year.
Greenypeeps uses 3% of its sales to invest in local projects that support local communities and their environment. For example, Greenypeeps' Hiniduma Project focuses on providing resources and infrastructure for local farmers to plant and care for new rainforest trees. Through this project, Greenypeeps help engages and train local communities, protect trees, and plant new trees. They have also been involved in helping the supplier community support themselves through programmes on growing sustainable crops and sustainably harvesting trees of medicinal value. On their website, they say that they hold a business philosophy of "Neutral is not enough. We must make a positive difference." I found it interesting and impressive that they are making efforts to achieve a net positive difference to the environment because the products I have reviewed in the past, such as Volvic Water and Yorkshire Tea, seemed to put a lot of pride in their carbon neutrality. I wanted to give a score of 3 for their dedication towards going above carbon-neutrality but I was disappointed to find out that they use misleading claims about their packaging (as explained previously), which brought my ratings down to 1.6 out of 3. It is important for them to recognize that PLA is plastic and saying that the packaging is "plastic-free" and "home compostable" is a greenwashing claim.

Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May hold more talks as hopes rise over possible customs deal
Kevin Schofield
Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May have held more talks as hopes were raised that they could do a deal over a customs union with the EU after Brexit.
The pair met after Labour and Tory officials held several hours of negotiations over a possible compromise arrangement which could win the support of Parliament.
In a further sign of progress, frontbenchers from both parties will meet once again for talks on Friday as they try to find a way to break the impasse.

Labour takes poll lead as Tory support plummets by nine points amid Brexit chaos
Labour has called for a permanent customs union with the EU in the future, something the Prime Minister has repeatedly ruled out, claiming it would prevent the UK having an independent trade policy.
But speaking in the Commons, Mrs May said: "I think there is actually more agreement in relation to a customs union than is often given credit for when different language is used.
"We've been very clear that we want to obtain the benefits of a customs union - no tariffs, no rules of origin checks and no quotas - while being able to operate our own independent trade policy.
"The Labour Party has said they want a say in trade policy - the question is how we ensure we can provide for this country to be in charge of its trade policy in the future."
Mr Corbyn described the cross-party talks - which began last week - as "serious and detailed" and added: "If these talks are to be a success, the Government will have to compromise."
He also hit out at International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, who described a customs union as "the worst of both worlds" in a letter to Graham Brady, chairman of the Tory backbench 1922 Committee.
The Labour leader said that was "an attempt to scupper" the negotiations between his party and the Government.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said the talks would only continue for as long as a deal was possible.
He said: "If we work at pace, the House of Commons can come together, we can agree a deal, ratify it and get out before having to do EU parliamentary elections. There is an opportunity here and we ought not to lose sight of that.
"We have already started the process with the leader of the opposition and it's right we see that continue to what we hope will be a successful conclusion. We have stressed the urgency because there is an opportunity to avoid EU elections and to bring a resolution for greater certainty.
"Bluntly, we will not continue to talk for the sake of it. But we believe the discussion and dialogue we are having is valuable and we want to see that continue while we think we are making progress."
At an EU summit on Wednesday, Mrs May was granted a further extension to the Article 50 process running until 31 October.
However, she still hopes to ratify a Brexit deal by 22 May so that the UK does not need to take part in the European Parliament elections the following day.

How Ukraine Is Using 3D Printing To Make Military, Medical Equipment
Facing a shortage of parts used for tourniquets, wound wrapping bandages, telescopes and drone components, Ukrainian owners who had created a network to address PPE shortages during the pandemic shifted their focus to military needs.
Now supplemented by new 3D printers and filament from foreign donors, Ukraine has pioneered innnovative uses for essential wartime uses of 3D technology. JL
Byroman Mykhailshyn reports in IEEE Spectrum:
During COVID-19, Ukraine companies, volunteers, universities, and concerned citizens began networking. Thanks to these communications, it was possible to supply personal protective equipment for physicians and social workers. By the beginning of the war in February, logistics systems for the 3D-printing industry had been established. When they (learned) there was a great shortage of combat application tourniquets (CATs), and bandages, in a few days they developed a tourniquet that could be 3D printed. 3D-printing has also been making tactical tools for the military, (including) periscopes which give Ukrainian soldiers a safer way to look around corners and over walls.
One month into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a group of more than 100 makers from all over Ukraine manufactured and supplied a number of 3D-printed products to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Territorial Defense Force, and the Air Forces. For security reasons, this group does not disclose most of their work. But they do share common achievements.
According to their data, 3,019 individual parts were 3D printed in the first 16 days of the war, which were used for 930 finished products. This is data from only one group of volunteers, and it is very difficult to track the total amount of help in the form of 3D-printed products. However, it is safe to say that fast, flexible 3D-printing production has shown all its advantages in Ukraine.
This is a startling accomplishment considering that before 24 February 2022, 3D printing was very rarely used in manufacturing components for military equipment in Ukraine.
There are a couple of reasons for this. First, the 3D-printing facilities and services available in Ukraine usually use fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D-printing technology, which often results in components with poor performance and less than optimal survivability in wartime. Second, the number of 3D printers was very limited in Ukraine and did not allow for the production of certain components evenly throughout the country. And for volunteers living in Ukraine and for those like me who are outside of our home country, there were many problems and questions: what exactly to print, in what quantity, how to provide logistics in the places where the products are needed, and how to get the permits required to modernize military equipment.
Given these constraints, how has 3D printing become one of the most important activities for volunteers trying to help the Ukrainian military? It turns out the COVID-19 epidemic played an important role in resolving many of the issues associated with 3D printing before the war. During COVID-19, companies, volunteers, universities, and concerned citizens (including me) began to create a system for networking. Thanks to these communication systems and volunteer centers, it was possible to supply personal protective equipment (like faceshields) for physicians and social workers. By the beginning of the full-scale war in February, logistics systems for the 3D-printing industry had already been established.
Even so, at the start of the conflict, 3D printers were in short supply, and there was a limited supply of consumables like filament. When volunteers from abroad joined the fight, they dispatched a large number of 3D printers throughout Ukraine in a short time. In addition, citizens who had 3D printers at home began to give their printers to 3D-printing hubs established to supply components to the frontlines. Ukrainian filament companies also began to make supplies directly available, effectively resolving any outstanding questions concerning materials and printers.
But the main issue for the 3D-printing community remained: What could be 3D printed that would most help the military? The Ukrainian company 3D Tech ADDtive was the first to come up with an initiative to defend Ukraine. The company was one of the first to work on 3D printing of components for drones and weapons, but the impact of these components was limited. Therefore, when it received new information that there was a great shortage of combat application tourniquets (CATs) for the military, in just a few days they had developed a tourniquet design that could be 3D printed, and began to modify it for better performance.
The Ukrainian company 3D Tech ADDtive developed a combat application tourniquet [left] containing multiple 3D-printed parts [right].3D TECH ADDTIVE
Other volunteers also joined the modernization and implementation of computer-aided designs with publicly available 3D models for printing. In particular, the project "3DPrintingforUkraine" improved performance for even industrial tourniquets.
The 3DPrintingforUkraine project also developed tourniquets whose components could be readily manufactured and assembled via a 3D printer. 3DPRINTINGFORUKRAINE
Printing such tourniquets can be difficult, as nonstandard filaments, including flexible materials such as nylon and others such as polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), are necessary. Meanwhile, the logistics of delivering expensive printing materials are currently more difficult to solve than for more standard 3D-print composites such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or PETG.
Today, however, the 3D printing of this important materiel continues, thanks to the help of volunteers and the regular donation of caring people, mainly from Eastern Europe.
Spools of 3D-printer filament fill the back seat of a car, providing a supply-chain lifeline for 3D printers across Ukraine being used to supply troops and medics working in the country's defense. 3D TECH ADDTIVE
As the war continued on, another shortage arose with the Israeli Emergency Bandage—a smartly designed dressing made specifically for use with one hand. Due to the large number of mobilized Ukrainians, there was simply not enough of these bandages to go around. Therefore, together with garment companies, makers have organized the production of a 3D-printed version of the bandages. In fact, after only a few days of producing these substitute Israeli Emergency Bandages, volunteers used them to complete individual first-aid kits, which were then sent to the front.
The Israeli Emergency Bandage [left], a popular staple of military first-aid kits around the world, was so much in demand among Ukrainian forces that a comparable 3D-printed bandage [right] was devised as an alternative.3D TECH ADDTIVE
In addition to health-care products, the 3D-printing community in Ukraine has been making tactical tools for the military. The most useful for the military are periscopes, which volunteers disguise as needed. This design of the 3D-printed periscope is quite light and consists of a 50-millimeter-diameter tube, two mirrors, and two printed parts. This gives Ukrainian soldiers encountering the enemy in urban areas a safer way to look around corners and over walls.
Both the military periscope [left] and its 3D-printed alternate versions [right] can be crucial tools for troops on the frontlines—especially in tight urban settings, enabling sometimes lifesaving ways of looking around corners and over walls.3D TECH ADDTIVE
Three-D printing shows amazing flexibility and can respond quickly to the needs of volunteers. The communication that was established in peacetime, through conferences and scientific and technical societies including IEEE, allows for better understanding of the needs and opportunities of each region and hub. Thanks to this volunteer-driven, maker-powered movement, the Ukrainian Army has a better opportunity to offer a worthy resistance to the Russian Army by making it possible to equip military units with necessary equipment quickly.

As you do when catching up with friends, an excursion to the downstairs delights of Hashigo Zake on lower Taranaki Street was in order. A well established Wellington institution for those serious about (originally) whiskey and sake, and (over time) craft beers.
The beer menu is extensive and took a good 15 minutes to browse through before deciding, with interesting artistic cards throughout the menu folder (check out the list here on their website).
I ended up choosing a Rogue chocolate stout (nearly the Rogue double chocolate stout, but that was even bigger with even greater alcohol content and I couldn't see me getting home in a sensible condition on that one!), which poured with a thick creamy head as promised, and went rather well with the gyoza pork dumplings to start and Moroccan veggie pie to follow. And came with its own branded glass. Very piratey and funky.
Their pies are seriously good, light of crust, deep of delicious fillings (boston pork, beef rendang, rustic salmon, pork and chorizo, vege chilli or Moroccan veggie), and worth a revisit for them alone.
Of course the company is important, and a fine time was had by all without the late night lag the next day.
Highly recommended (although be early to get a space or be prepared to loiter around at leaners until a space becomes available).
Open 7 days from noon.

Courtney is having the time of her life ... and doesn't even realize it. And I like that about her.
Courtney is so unaffected by all that she's experiencing right now with the show that she's in, she just takes it all in stide. She's booked all over the place in LA. And below is a photo of the limo picking her up and taking her to her interview with Allie McKay on KTLA's The Morning Show. And again, she just acts like nothing special is even happening.
Cousin Kris couldn't do that on level ground.
Cousin Kris can barely do that in her dreams.
By the way, I just bought my tickets to see her show in Dallas. In February. I loved this show so much that I just cannot wait!!

Lewis relates what appears to be a true story about listening to a certain vicar give a sermon on the home, a talk filled with platitudes about how dear home life is to everyone. Yet Lewis noticed that the vicar lost the attention of many in the congregation, especially those under thirty, as the sermon became more unrealistic about the incessant joys of life in the home.
What Lewis observed during lunch was a man—the vicar already mentioned—constantly interrupting both of his children with his own views that they must not contradict, and a mother going on about how badly a neighbor has treated her. When the daughter attempted to correct the impression given of that neighbor, she was quickly and forcefully silenced by her father.
The remedy, Lewis asserts, is to be realistic.
Since the Fall no organization or way of life whatever has a natural tendency to go right. . . .
The family, like the nation, can be offered to God, can be converted and redeemed, and will then become the channel of particular blessings and graces. But, like everything else that is human, it needs redemption.
Where there are people, there are problems.
What chiefly distinguishes domestic from public conversation is surely very often simply its downright rudeness. What distinguishes domestic behaviour is often selfishness, slovenliness, incivility—even brutality.
And it will often happen that those who praise home life most loudly are the worst offenders in this respect: they praise it–they are always glad to get home, hate the outer world, can't stand visitors, can't be bothered meeting people, etc.—because the freedoms in which they indulge themselves at home have ended by making them unfit for civilized society. If they practised elsewhere the only behaviour they now find "natural" they would simply be knocked down.
Lewis is not, of course, trying to belittle the home; he's merely saying that all areas of human life—even in the home—have to be submitted to the Lordship of Christ. "It will never be lawful simply to 'be ourselves' until 'ourselves' have become sons of God," he reminds us.
Home life has its own rule of courtesy—a code more intimate, more subtle, more sensitive, and, therefore, in some ways more difficult, than that of the outer world. . . .
Only by being realistic about the challenges of life in a home can we ever hope to model what a Christian family should be.


The SUCCESS project follows its roadmap and the different construction sites at the four cities assessed have been working on the data collection since December 2015. The previous works carried out allowed the different pilot sites to have a clear methodology (including specific material, indicators definition, etc.) enabling to compare the information and data collected.
Several meetings have been celebrated in the SUCCESS consortium and the Valencia team has also had several meetings in order to analyse, organise and perform the different tasks for the data collection. All the data collected during this period of more than seven months will be a valuable asset in order to provide real data for the SUCCESS data model.
With the collaboration of "Valencia Parque Central" and the joint venture between Pavasal and Dragados, the data concerning the daily deliveries and pick-ups is being collected and analysed at the construction site.
In Valencia, the analysis of the Construction Supply Chain has allowed to identify a complex work site such as "Valencia Parque Central" as it involves: the restoration and refurbished of several buildings, a large amount of earth movements, gardening works and the construction of different fountains.
Due to the diversity of material requirements of the construction, the pilot site is working on a diverse collection of material data from multiple suppliers which illustrates the complex relationship between the construction site and the providers coming from local, regional and national locations with different requirements and mobility patterns.


When it comes to pre-owned items, many people experience intimidation or hesitation in going through with the purchase. For instance, when you buy a used video game or movie, you do so knowing that it has some scratches, but hoping that it will still work just as well. Being that a car is a much more complex and costly investment, used car shoppers are right to have some healthy hesitancy.
However, when you're shopping for your used sedan, SUV, truck or other vehicle here at Diamond Valley Honda in Hemet, CA, you can do so with ease. Our inventory of Certified Pre-Owned vehicles have gone through thorough inspections and are also held to certain standards before they can be labeled as Certified. Below, we've outlined what it means to purchase a vehicle that has gone through this certification process and what this means for you.
A Multi-Point inspection of the mechanical workings and appearance of the vehicle. This is carried out by the dealer with the objective to ensure that it meets Honda Certified Pre-Owned standards.
Thorough analysis of all major vehicle systems by Honda-trained technicians. These include the engine, suspension, drivetrain, steering, brakes, tires, wheels and exhaust system as well as the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
Reconditioning of any vehicle component that does not meet Diamond Valley Honda standards.
Replacement of any component that cannot be rehabilitated with a Genuine Honda part.
Comes with a Limited Warranty that provides coverage for the transmission and engine for up to 7 years/100,000 miles.
Important Recall Information: Some of our pre-owned vehicles may be subject to non-repaired safety recalls. Check for a vehicle's non-repaired recalls at safercar.gov.
