Naming plea by barrister
Dunedin Bishop John Kavanagh, after whom the school was named. Photo: Supplied
A long-serving Dunedin barrister and Catholic education figure has added his voice to calls for Kavanagh College to be renamed.
David More, a barrister for 50 years and a member of the Catholic Church, was also the former chairman of St Mary's Kaikorai - a Catholic school - in 1989, when restructuring led to the creation of Kavanagh College.
Mr More said the choice of Kavanagh as the name for the new coeducational college had been the "wrong decision" at the time, and still was now.
Bishop John Kavanagh had played "an important role" in Catholic education in Otago and Southland, including establishing St Peter's College in Gore and renaming the Christian Brothers' High School in Dunedin as St Paul's High School.
The aim was to have two principal Catholic schools in the region named after "the two greatest apostles", Mr More said.
But, following Bishop Kavanagh's death in 1985, restructuring in Dunedin resulted in the amalgamation of St Paul's High School and Moreau College, a Catholic girls' school.
Rivalry between the two schools, including among staff, meant a new name was needed. Kavanagh College was chosen.
Mr More believed the name should have been St Paul's College, "to retain the original concept".
Now that "the dust has long since settled" on the old schools' rivalry, the time was right to rename Kavanagh College as St Paul's College, he said.
There was also no need to delay any decision until after a Royal Commission or independent inquiry, he believed.
"This should be done now, regardless of any subsequent findings as to whether Bishop Kavanagh was derelict in dealing with the abuse of children by priests during his time as bishop."
Despite that, Mr More said his support for a name change was not motivated by concerns about Bishop Kavanagh's character.
"My recollection of the bishop is that he was essentially a good man. If he covered up the abuse by priests, then he was reflecting the attitude of church leaders throughout the world at the time."
His comments followed months of revelations highlighting the extent of historic abuse within the Dunedin diocese, much of it under the watch of then-Bishop Kavanagh.
The revelations prompted ex-pupils of Kavanagh College to organise a public meeting and petition the school to change the name, arguing it traumatised victims and no longer matched the school's values.
On Wednesday, Dunedin Bishop the Most Rev Michael Dooley deferred any decision, saying he needed more time to "seriously" consider a name change.
He was "hoping and praying" churches were included in the upcoming Royal Commission into historic abuse, allowing an independent statutory body to investigate Bishop Kavanagh's actions.
Alternatively, Bishop Dooley said he could launch his own independent inquiry.
Mr More said there were "two compelling reasons" why religious and other private institutions should be part of the Royal Commission.
Limiting the inquiry to State-run institutions was a "fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the State", when the Crown was "parent of the country".
"All abused children were in need of protection from the State, regardless of whether the abuse occurred in State or privately operated institutions."
He also dismissed the merit of any parallel church inquiry, saying it would "breach a fundamental principle of natural justice that no person can be judge in their own cause".

Greater transparency wanted over agreement
Kavanagh name change faces counter-petition
Priests gather for training seminar
Kavanagh name change decision delayed
More voices call for wider inquiry

Allison Harbour, davor auch False Bay und False Schooner Passage genannt, ist ein natürlicher Hafen an der Küste von British Columbia, Kanada. Die Bucht dehnt sich von ihrem Südende und der Öffnung zur Königin-Charlotte-Straße hin Richtung Norden. Sie erstreckt sich parallel zum Schooner Channel, früher Schooner Passage, der Bramham Island vom Festland trennt, und hat daher ihre früheren Namen bekommen, da sie mit diesem bei der Einfahrt verwechselt werden konnte.

Allison Harbour wurde im Jahre 1922 nach Ambrose P. Allison benannt, dem Eigentümer des Holzfällerunternehmens A P Allison Logging.

Q: Flutter MySql Data Not Showing First Time I have MySQL database connection. I can fetch data and I can print the data I received on the console, but I cannot see it on the screen only first time.
DB method :
Mysql db = Mysql();
      db.getConnection().then((conn) {
      String sql = 'select correctCount from users where uid = "$uid"';
      conn.query(sql).then((results) async {
       for (var row in results) {
         correctCountStats = row[0];
         debugPrint(correctCountStats.toString());
       }
     });
   });

My UI :
Container(
           decoration: BoxDecoration(
           color: primaryColor, borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10)),
           width: context.dynamicWidth(6),
           height: context.dynamicHeight(30),
           child: Center(
           child: Text(
           correctCountStats,
             style: Theme.of(context)
                    .textTheme
                    .headline6
                    ?.copyWith(color: whiteColor, fontWeight: FontWeight.w900),
              )
           ),
         )

As I said I can see the correctCountStats in the console but not the first time on the screen. I need to change page and come back with Bottom Navigation bar.
I was try future builder, and set state but everything is same.

A: To view data you have to change the state of your screen. You can do so by using setState.
Mysql db = Mysql();
  db.getConnection().then((conn) {
  String sql = 'select correctCount from users where uid = "$uid"';
  conn.query(sql).then((results) async {
   for (var row in results) {
   //This will display data on your screen
   setState(() {
        correctCountStats = row[0];
    });

     debugPrint(correctCountStats.toString());
   }
 });
});

Viet-Nomz is getting ready to finally open its doors at their new location, which is great news for anyone looking for Vietnamese-style pan-Asian deliciousness.
The new spot is located at 11798 E. Colonial Drive, replacing the former Pita Pit in the plaza at the Alafaya Trail intersection. The restaurant posted on social media that a grand opening announcement would be coming in the next couple of weeks. It appears they are gunning for an early August opening date.
According to their website, hours of operation will run the same as their Winter Park location, being 11 a.m till 9:30 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and till 10 p.m. Friday and Saturdays.
Viet-Nomz stepped into the scene with their first shop off University Boulevard and Goldenrod Road, and it has since turned into a staple for the local university youth with its affordable and satisfying options. And, of course, the general public has also really taken a liking to the fast-casual cuisine.

UFM - JULY UPDATE (22/07/19)
Coming this July we have a massive update for you all, affecting many areas of UFM with a comprehensive rework of our match algorithm and Community Pitch! We've listed the main details that could affect your strategies below, so take a seat and have a read through.
Remember, for any questions please get in touch through the game or our Facebook page!
Match Algorithm
We've made big changes to both the algorithm itself, as well as the interface you interact with. This will give you a far greater insight into your chances, why a certain result occurred and what you can improve. The old head to head display of attributes has been replaced as it was often misleading in terms of how the match would be calculated. Not only this, we've balanced various elements to make alternative strategies more viable.
Speed is now extremely valuable for wide players
Passing will also have a big impact, especially on central midfielders and central defenders
Strengths and weaknesses of teams will now be visible in the match preview and match report, so you know what you can improve or what you need to sabotage on your opponents
Your team's attributes have been replaced by bars showing how the attacking force of the two teams compare to the defences of one another - since it doesn't matter how amazing your attack is if your defence is unable to handle the opponent's attack too!
Using the performance table in the match report you'll also see negative impacts that affected this, like red cards, injuries or simply an unfortunately poor performance by your strikers or defenders
Balanced Level Bonus: Provided all your starting 11 are within 15 levels of the average they'll receive a boost to their physical attributes
Very important: Favourites can still lose! Improving your stats as far beyond your opponents' will always maximise your chance of winning but upsets can still happen in football!
Badges & Items
One of the big areas we've sought to improve in the algorithm is the balance of attack and defence. Previously, it was easy to vastly exceed defensive values and focus only on the attacking elements which often led to high scoring and unpredictable results. As well as the direct changes mentioned above, we're also adding and altering some existing badges and items.
NEW Badges added, now there's 1 for each physical attribute. Each consists of either clean sheets or assists from specific areas of the pitch
Playmaker badge now requires assists as a forward
Badge bonuses have been reduced
Existing improvement items have been adjusted, both in terms of price and effect. Now all items of the same tier will have the same effect, while those which have had their effects reduced have also seen a price drop
NEW Tier of improvement items added: "Neon"
Player Upgrading
We know that as you reach higher player levels it becomes more of a chore to level those players up, in terms of cost and time. Of course we expect it to become more difficult as you reach higher levels, but these changes aim to make this a little easier.
Player Talent minimum throughout the Community Pitch is now 25. Previously this would often have gone into single figures below 10
Overall money cost of upgrading players is 40% lower to get to level 80. Note: This reduction will only become apparently past level 30, and once you go past level 80 it will very quickly increase to the previous overall cost
Player upgrade times reduced at earlier level. Getting to level 10 is almost 75% faster, and level 20 around 40% faster
Player upgrade gold costs on these levels have also been reduced
Community Pitch
The best way to create an amazing team has always been to take a low level player and level it up, rather than signing at a higher level. The Community Pitch has been drastically altered with this in mind. The best players you can get haven't changed, but we've introduced a new stars system so you can see those with the best future potential at a glance. Furthermore, we've changed the scouts significantly. The timers and cost have been increased, but so have the probabilities of obtaining the best players (by a lot). So no need check these every 20 minutes anymore!
NEW Star Potential: Players will be ranked between 1-5 stars based on their development potential, taking into account your University skills. The previous "Young Stars" are represented with 4+
Players will now take into account your Personal Trainer skill when they're generated at a higher level
A new display has been added showing you the relative potential of example players with attributes at level 50
Note: Bronze/Silver/Gold players can still be acquired in these scouts, but they are no longer the main focus
Existing players who were Young Stars will now appear as 4 star (even if they were the equivalent of 5 star), while those below that won't have any star assigned to them. This doesn't mean they're worse, just this is only really for new players who appear
The All Stars scout will be the equivalent of Young Stars, but with both weaker and stronger players possible compared to before (up to 254 for a level 1)
Keeping in mind the changes above, we've adapted the Talent Agency to fit the new design
More high potential, low level players added
Max level appearing for gold/silver player has been reduced
This offer is being added for everyone in the game - a new, low cost and very high value element which lasts for 30 days with the following effects:
20 Gold to collect every day - up to 600 total
+1 Builder - now you'll have a maximum of 3 at a time
50% Shorter timers in the Advertising Agency - so especially at higher levels you'll be able to get more of the resources you really want
Max Ticket Multiplier Doubled - this take into account your current Mathematician skill, but will now be up to 10x. Keep in mind this affects the speed of playing exhibition matches, the total rewards you get overall stays the same per ticket used
40 Daily Tickets - This replaces the chore of watching 40 videos in the Exhibition Grounds for bonus tickets (which often would end up being unavailable)
Syndicate Invitations
There's quite a few small things behind the scenes but this is also worth mentioning:
You'll now earn invitations to use in your Syndicate every time you win league matches. This varies based on which tier you're in
League A/B: 4 invitations per win
League C/D/E: 3 invitations per win
League F+: 2 invitations per win
So you don't hit your cap too much by accident, we've raised the maximum you can hold from 5 to 8 at a time
This is just the start! We'll keep coming out with more regular updates in the future (both new features and balancing), so let us know what you think by contacting us through UFM directly or through our Facebook page.

I've loved the desert as much as any landscape I've ever met on earth, so obviously I was thrilled that Wahiba Sands was on our itinerary for the Oman in Focus tour. There's just something about the desert. It's not just the pyramids of sand, the contrasting lights and shadows of sunrise and sunset, or the vastness of it all. It's the solitude, the peace, and the feeling that you've got it all to yourself.
We arrived at the Wahiba Sands desert camp we'd be staying at for the night,a place called Bidiy Desert Camp, in the middle of the day and got all set up. Soon after some nice Bedouin tea, we headed out to take some photos of the local people in traditional attire. The men were wrapped in turbans and exactly as you'd expect a Bedouin in Oman to look. The woman wore an interesting face mask that almost looked like a bird's beak. The colours were vibrant, and made for some decent portraits.
Before sunset, we headed into Wahiba Sands to take some of those typical desert photos that I love taking. To be honest, it was a bit of a mission. With 14 other photographers on the sands, and a number of vehicles racing around, it was difficult to take a clean photo. I found a piece of clean sand and a lonely tree and just set up there to take some pictures, but the light kind of went bad on me. It was a bit dull, and harsh. Still, I got a couple decent shots, I think.
After dark, however, Tiffany and I headed up the dunes to see if we could get some star photos. We saw a nice line in which the light from the camp was creating a beautiful contrast showing the snaking of the dunes. It made for a beautiful sight even if the stars we far too faint, and there was too much light pollution to make good use of the scenes we found.
Anyways, Wahiba Sands is another one of these places I'd love to get back to in Oman. We've been rushed around this country a little bit and keep spotting these great places to shoot, but are whisked away the following day. Our next destination on the trip is Sur, a place that will quickly become a favourite shoot destination.
Love these photos, they are very mesmerising! I love your night shots, they are just stunning. Thanks as always for sharing them.
The desert is probably the only landscape that I haven't really visited yet. Looks like it is awesome both day and night. Oh an I love that first photo, the one of the man, he looks like he has lived and amazing life.

Q: Spring Filter for handling exceptions I want to handle certain exceptions in spring and wrap the REST response into another object format.
So I came up with the idea of using filters and checking the response status code, for example if it's 400, it means Bad Request so I can wrap the response into the JSON format I need, here is the code sample :
    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        filterChain.doFilter(servletRequest, servletResponse);

        if(((HttpServletResponse) servletResponse).getStatus() == 400){

            servletResponse.resetBuffer();
            ((HttpServletResponse) servletResponse).setStatus(200);
            servletResponse.setContentType("application/json; charset=UTF-8");
            servletResponse.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

            PrintWriter out = servletResponse.getWriter();
            out.println(new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(new IgResponseDto<>(IgResponseCode.BAD_REQUEST, "en")));
        }
    }

Is it a good way to wrap the response for certain exceptions inside filters and what are the disadvantages of such a case?

A: There are ready made tools for that, so you don't have to do your custom made code. I used @ControllerAdvice annotation that allows me to create a single class that handles any uncaught exception that came from any Controller. In that class I can have several methods where each method handles a particular exception or a group of exceptions. But this is only one way to deal with exceptions. Here is a very good article that describes all available tools and standard ways to handle errors: Error Handling for REST with Spring


Danny Boyle's latest film "Slumdog Millionaire" has shown another dark face of India to world on which any Indian will not feel proud.

Today, every person who buy or sell stocks knows the importance of a demat account. Demat account has become integral part of stock market investment. Today, it is almost necessary to have a demat account for investing in stock market. In simple terms, we can term demat account as an account with particular bank or financial institution (also known as depository participant or DP) which stores our stocks in electronic format, otherwise demat account refers to dematerialised account which dematerializes use of paper based stocks.
The major reasons behind the introduction of demat account was to decrease number of paper based stock frauds and easing allocation of stocks. Introduction of demat account has really served its purpose and made it very easy for people to manage their stocks. Most of banks in India are offering demat account for very nominal fee and people can easily open a demat account with any of these banks as they open their bank accounts.

When I was young, I always used to ask myself that why some people remain so mad about Stock Market and what actually is a Stock Market? Why we suddenly see people making billions of dollars in months or losing billions of dollars in days? Therefore, through this article I am trying to make it simple for others to understand what basically is Stock Market and how it functions. The most basic work of any stock market is to facilitate trading in various company stocks and derivatives.
Stock Market provides an easy option in front of companies to borrow money from people and financial institutions by offering company stocks in return to them. Any Stock is listed on Stock Market at particular face value plus premium value which is determined by various agencies affiliated with Stock Market. For example if a stock has face value of Rs 10 and premium value of Rs 100 then this stock will be listed at Rs 110 on stock market and will be available to people at this price.
It looks that Manyata Dutt is ready for her new role as MP from Lucknow. Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Amir Singh has made it clear that Manyata Dutt will fight Loksabha election from Lucknow seat on Samajwadi party ticket if Sanjay Dutt fails in getting permission from court for fighting Loksabha election from Lucknow. Earlier, Amir Singh announced that Sanajay Dutt will be fighting Loksabha election from Lucknow seat on SP ticket.
However, we all know that Sanjay Dutt is convicted by Tada court, therefore, Sanjay Dutt require permission of court before fighting any election. Therefore, Now Samajwadi Party has come with idea of placing his wife Manyata from Lucknow If Sanjay dutt fails in getting permission from court. With this one thing is clear that either Sanjay or Manyata will fight from Lucknow Loksabha seat. Presently, this seat belongs to former Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpaee.
What is Cancer? Why it is dangerous?
Cancer is basically a disease caused by uncontrolled growth of cells in body which invade and spread in other parts of body also, which is in general caused by abnormality in genetic material of cell. Today, Cancer has become one of the most deadly killers because every year 12-15% people die from cancer. Moreover, numbers of Cancer cases are increasing with each passing year. Many scientists believe that present life style is major reason behind increase in this deadly disease.
Cancer also becomes a very deadly disease because mostly it is too difficult to save people suffering from cancer. There are many therapies available for treatment of cancer, however, no therapy or treatment provides a 100% cure to this disease. Cancer mostly makes tumors inside body due to abnormal growth of cells; these tumors can increase their size and spread to other parts of body. Though, in cancer forms like leukemia (blood cancer), we do not see the formation of tumors.
In last few months, we all have experienced various risks associated with Stock Market investment. Stock Markets around the world lost their 60-80% wealth in just few days which they accumulated in five to six years. This outcome also forced many investors to commit suicides because they were left with no money to pay their commitments. There are many lessons which we all can learn from this crisis. Below, people can find few of them.
1) It is not wise to put all our money in Stock Market alone.
2) Avoid short term profit games which are full of risks.
3) Not invest all money in single stock or company.
4) Do not invest more than 20% of investable money in single stock.
5) Not solely depend upon information provided by financial experts.
7) Giving importance to singles given by Market like Market stagnate at higher value for long time (indicating fall in market).

CAT exams are mostly conducted In November or December month of year. Last year, this exam was conducted on 16 November, 2008. Now, all these students who have given CAT (IIM) 2008 exams are waiting for its results. Results of CAT (Common Admission Test)2008 exam will be declared on 9 January, 2009. All these students have two options to know their CAT results on 9 Jan, 2009. People can get these results by visiting catiim.in or sending SMS to 57333 (details are available below).
It is very important for all of us to welcome New Year with new hopes and expectations while leaving behind old memories of past. Mostly, we all people carry forward our old worries with us in New Year and make another year sad for us. We all can easily shape our New Year and make it full of happiness irrespective of last year's outcomes. New Year really provides new opportunities in front of us and it is important for us to make right use of these opportunities.
However, we mostly accept our earlier defeats as our final defeats and stop working on new opportunities. Whereas, people who accept New Year as New opportunity mostly make maximum use of it and fill their lives with happiness. We all can also learn to accept New Year as New Beginning and starting our life afresh.
Below, I am adding link to an option which makes it possible for people to send unlimited free SMS in India. This is really a great option available in front of people who send lot of SMS. SMS throughout India are free with this service. People can send unlimited SMS with service for their personal use only because this service does not allow any commercial use of this service. This service also allows people an option to earn few rupees and download mobile discount coupons for saving money on their purchase.

Data hand tools
A data task illustrates the importance of simple and flexible tools.
by Mike Loukides |	@mikeloukides | +Mike Loukides | April 7, 2011
The flowering of data science has both driven, and been driven by, an explosion of powerful tools. R provides a great platform for doing statistical analysis, Hadoop provides a framework for orchestrating large clusters to solve problems in parallel, and many NoSQL databases exist for storing huge amounts of unstructured data. The heavy machinery for serious number crunching includes perennials such as Mathematica, Matlab, and Octave, most of which have been extended for use with large clusters and other big iron.
But these tools haven't negated the value of much simpler tools; in fact, they're an essential part of a data scientist's toolkit. Hilary Mason and Chris Wiggins wrote that "Sed, awk, grep are enough for most small tasks," and there's a layer of tools below sed, awk, and grep that are equally useful. Hilary has pointed out the value of exploring data sets with simple tools before proceeding to a more in-depth analysis. The advent of cloud computing, Amazon's EC2 in particular, also places a premium on fluency with simple command-line tools. In conversation, Mike Driscoll of Metamarkets pointed out the value of basic tools like grep to filter your data before processing it or moving it somewhere else. Tools like grep were designed to do one thing and do it well. Because they're so simple, they're also extremely flexible, and can easily be used to build up powerful processing pipelines using nothing but the command line. So while we have an extraordinary wealth of power tools at our disposal, we'll be the poorer if we forget the basics.
With that in mind, here's a very simple, and not contrived, task that I needed to accomplish. I'm a ham radio operator. I spent time recently in a contest that involved making contacts with lots of stations all over the world, but particularly in Russia. Russian stations all sent their two-letter oblast abbreviation (equivalent to a US state). I needed to figure out how many oblasts I contacted, along with counting oblasts on particular ham bands. Yes, I have software to do that; and no, it wasn't working (bad data file, since fixed). So let's look at how to do this with the simplest of tools.
(Note: Some of the spacing in the associated data was edited to fit on the page. If you copy and paste the data, a few commands that rely on counting spaces won't work.)
Log entries look like this:
QSO: 14000 CW 2011-03-19 1229 W1JQ 599 0001 UV5U 599 0041 QSO: 14000 CW 2011-03-19 1232 W1JQ 599 0002 SO2O 599 0043 QSO: 21000 CW 2011-03-19 1235 W1JQ 599 0003 RG3K 599 VR QSO: 21000 CW 2011-03-19 1235 W1JQ 599 0004 UD3D 599 MO ...
Most of the fields are arcane stuff that we won't need for these exercises. The Russian entries have a two-letter oblast abbreviation at the end; rows that end with a number are contacts with stations outside of Russia. We'll also use the second field, which identifies a ham radio band (21000 KHz, 14000 KHz, 7000 KHz, 3500 KHz, etc.) So first, let's strip everything but the Russians with grep and a regular expression:
$ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' rudx-log.txt | head -2 QSO: 21000 CW 2011-03-19 1235 W1JQ 599 0003 RG3K 599 VR QSO: 21000 CW 2011-03-19 1235 W1JQ 599 0004 UD3D 599 MO
grep may be the most useful tool in the Unix toolchest. Here, I'm just searching for lines that have 599 (which occurs everywhere) followed by a space, followed by two uppercase letters. To deal with mixed case (not necessary here), use grep –i. You can use character classes like :upper: rather than specifying the range A-Z, but why bother? Regular expressions can become very complex, but simple will often do the job, and be less error-prone.
If you're familiar with grep, you may be asking why I didn't use $ to match the end of line, and forget about the 599 noise. Good question. There is some whitespace at the end of the line; we'd have to match that, too. Because this file was created on a Windows machine, instead of just a newline at the end of each line, it has a return and a newline. The $ that grep uses to match the end-of-line only matches a Unix newline. So I did the easiest thing that would work reliably.
The simple head utility is a jewel. If you leave head off of the previous command, you'll get a long listing scrolling down your screen. That's rarely useful, especially when you're building a chain of commands. head gives you the first few lines of output: 10 lines by default, but you can specify the number of lines you want. -2 says "just two lines," which is enough for us to see that this script is doing what we want.
Next, we need to cut out the junk we don't want. The easy way to do this is to use colrm (remove columns). That takes two arguments: the first and last column to remove. Column numbering starts with one, so in this case we can use colrm 1 72.
$ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' rudx-log.txt | colrm 1 72 | head -2 VR MO ...
How did I know we wanted column 72? Just a little experimentation; command lines are cheap, especially with command history editing. I should actually use 73, but that additional space won't hurt, nor will the additional whitespace at the end of each line. Yes, there are better ways to select columns; we'll see them shortly. Next, we need to sort and find the unique abbreviations. I'm going to use two commands here: sort (which does what you'd expect), and uniq (to remove duplicates).
$ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' rudx-log.txt | colrm 1 72 | sort | uniq | head -2 AD AL
Sort has a –u option that suppresses duplicates, but for some reason I prefer to keep sort and uniq separate. sort can also be made case-insensitive (-f), can select particular fields (meaning we could eliminate the colrm command, too), can do numeric sorts in addition to lexical sorts, and lots of other things. Personally, I prefer building up long Unix pipes one command at a time to hunting for the right options.
Finally, I said I wanted to count the number of oblasts. One of the most useful Unix utilities is a little program called wc: "word count." That's what it does. Its output is three numbers: the number of lines, the number of words, and the number of characters it has seen. For many small data projects, that's really all you need.
$ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' rudx-log.txt | colrm 1 72 | sort | uniq | wc 38 38 342
So, 38 unique oblasts. You can say wc –l if you only want to count the lines; sometimes that's useful. Notice that we no longer need to end the pipeline with head; we want wc to see all the data.
But I said I also wanted to know the number of oblasts on each ham band. That's the first number (like 21000) in each log entry. So we're throwing out too much data. We could fix that by adjusting colrm, but I promised a better way to pull out individual columns of data. We'll use awk in a very simple way:
$ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' rudx-log.txt | awk '{print $2 " " $11}' | sort | uniq 14000 AD 14000 AL 14000 AN ...
awk is a very powerful tool; it's a complete programming language that can do almost any kind of text manipulation. We could do everything we've seen so far as an awk program. But rather than use it as a power tool, I'm just using it to pull out the second and eleventh fields from my input. The single quotes are needed around the awk program, to prevent the Unix shell from getting confused. Within awk's print command, we need to explicitly include the space, otherwise it will run the fields together.
The cut utility is another alternative to colrm and awk. It's designed for removing portions of a file. cut isn't a full programming language, but it can make more complex transformations than simply deleting a range of columns. However, although it's a simple tool at heart, it can get tricky; I usually find that, when colrm runs out of steam, it's best jumping all the way to awk.
We're still a little short of our goal: how do we count the number of oblasts on each band? At this point, I use a really cheesy solution: another grep, followed by wc:
$ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' rudx-log.txt | awk '{print $2 " " $11}' | sort | uniq | grep 21000 | wc 20 40 180 $ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' rudx-log.txt | awk '{print $2 " " $11}' | sort | uniq | grep 14000 | wc 26 52 234 ...
OK, 20 oblasts on the 21 MHz band, 26 on the 14 MHz band. And at this point, there are two questions you really should be asking. First, why not put grep 21000 first, and save the awk invocation? That's just how the script developed. You could put the grep first, though you'd still need to strip extra gunk from the file. Second: What if there are gigabytes of data? You have to run this command for each band, and for some other project, you might need to run it dozens or hundreds of times. That's a valid objection. To solve this problem, you need a more complex awk script (which has associative arrays in which you can save data), or you need a programming language such as perl, python, or ruby. At the same time, we've gotten fairly far with our data exploration, using only the simplest of tools.
Now let's up the ante. Let's say that there are a number of directories with lots of files in them, including these rudx-log.txt files. Let's say that these directories are organized by year (2001, 2002, etc.). And let's say we want to count oblasts across all the years for which we have records. How do we do that?
Here's where we need find. My first approach is to take the filename (rudx-log.txt) out of the grep command, and replace it with a find command that looks for every file named rudx-log.txt in subdirectories of the current directory:
$ grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' `find . -name rudx-log.txt -print` | awk '{print $2 " " $11}' | sort | uniq | grep 14000 | wc 48 96 432
OK, so 48 directories on the 14 MHz band, lifetime. I thought I had done better than that. What's happening, though? That find command is simply saying "look at the current directory and its subdirectories, find files with the given name, and print the output." The backquotes tell the Unix shell to use the output of find as arguments to grep. So we're just giving grep a long list of files, instead of just one. Note the -print option: if it's not there, find happily does nothing.
We're almost done, but there are a couple of bits of hair you should worry about. First, if you invoke grep with more than one file on the command line, each line of output begins with the name of the file in which it found a match:
... ./2008/rudx-log.txt:QSO: 14000 CW 2008-03-15 1526 W1JQ 599 0054 UA6YW 599 AD ./2009/rudx-log.txt:QSO: 14000 CW 2009-03-21 1225 W1JQ 599 0015 RG3K 599 VR ...
We're lucky. grep just sticks the filename at the beginning of the line without adding spaces, and we're using awk to print selected whitespace-separated fields. So the number of any field didn't change. If we were using colrm, we'd have to fiddle with things to find the right columns. If the filenames had different lengths (reasonably likely, though not possible here), we couldn't use colrm at all. Fortunately, you can suppress the filename by using grep –h.
The second piece of hair is less common, but potentially more troublesome. If you look at the last command, what we're doing is giving the find command a really long list of filenames. How long is long? Can that list get too long? The answers are "we don't know," and "maybe." In the nasty old days, things broke when the command line got longer than a few thousand characters. These days, who knows what's too long … But we're doing "big data," so it's easy to imagine the find command expanding to hundreds of thousands, even millions of characters. More than that, our single Unix pipeline doesn't parallelize very well; and if we really have big data, we want to parallelize it.
The answer to this problem is another old Unix utility, xargs. Xargs dates back to the time when it was fairly easy to come up with file lists that were too long. Its job is to break up command line arguments into groups and spawn as many separate commands as needed, running in parallel if possible (-P). We'd use it like this:
$ find . -name rudx-log.txt -print | xargs grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' | awk '{print $2 " " $11}' | grep 14000 | sort | uniq | wc 48 96 432
This command is actually a nice little map-reduce implementation: the xargs command maps grep all the cores on your machine, and the output is reduced (combined) by the awk/sort/uniq chain. xargs has lots of command line options, so if you want to be confused, read the man page.
Another approach is to use find's –exec option to invoke arbitrary commands. It's somewhat more flexible than xargs, though in my opinion, find –exec has the sort of overly flexible but confusing syntax that's surprisingly likely to lead to disaster. (It's worth noting that the examples for –exec almost always involve automating bulk file deletion. Excuse me, but that's a recipe for heartache. Take this from the guy who once deleted the business plan, then found that the backups hadn't been done for about 6 months.) There's an excellent tutorial for both xargs and find –exec at Softpanorama. I particularly like this tutorial because it emphasizes testing to make sure that your command won't run amok and do bad things (like deleting the business plan).
That's not all. Back in the dark ages, I wrote a shell script that did a recursive grep through all the subdirectories of the current directory. That's a good shell programming exercise which I'll leave to the reader. More to the point, I've noticed that there's now a -R option to grep that makes it recursive. Clever little buggers …
Before closing, I'd like to touch on a couple of tools that are a bit more exotic, but which should be in your arsenal in case things go wrong. od –c gives a raw dump of every character in your file. (-c says to dump characters, rather than octal or hexadecimal). It's useful if you think your data is corrupted (it happens), or if it has something in it that you didn't expect (it happens a LOT). od will show you what's happening; once you know what the problem is, you can fix it. To fix it, you may want to use sed. sed is a cranky old thing: more than a hand tool, but not quite a power tool; sort of an antique treadle-operated drill press. It's great for editing files on the fly, and doing batch edits. For example, you might use it if NUL characters were scattered through the data.
Finally, a tool I just learned about (thanks, @dataspora): the pipe viewer, pv. It isn't a standard Unix utility. It comes with some versions of Linux, but the chances are that you'll have to install it yourself. If you're a Mac user, it's in macports. pv tells you what's happening inside the pipes as the command progresses. Just insert it into a pipe like this:
$ find . -name rudx-log.txt -print | xargs grep '599 [A-Z][A-Z]' | awk '{print $2 " " $11}' | pv | grep 14000 | sort | uniq | wc 3.41kB 0:00:00 [ 20kB/s] [ 48 96 432
The pipeline runs normally, but you'll get some additional output that shows the command's progress. If something's getting malfunctioning or performing too slowly, you'll find out. pv is particularly good when you have huge amounts of data, and you can't tell whether something has ground to a halt, or you just need to go out for coffee while the command runs to completion.
Whenever you need to work with data, don't overlook the Unix "hand tools." Sure, everything I've done here could be done with Excel or some other fancy tool like R or Mathematica. Those tools are all great, but if your data is living in the cloud, using these tools is possible, but painful. Yes, we have remote desktops, but remote desktops across the Internet, even with modern high-speed networking, are far from comfortable. Your problem may be too large to use the hand tools for final analysis, but they're great for initial explorations. Once you get used to working on the Unix command line, you'll find that it's often faster than the alternatives. And the more you use these tools, the more fluent you'll become.
Oh yeah, that broken data file that would have made this exercise superfluous? Someone emailed it to me after I wrote these scripts. The scripting took less than 10 minutes, start to finish. And, frankly, it was more fun.

On Sept. 19, 1942, the 11 members of the Muranaga family from Gardena, Calif., arrived in their new home – the concentration camp for Japanese Americans at Amache, just outside Granada, Colo.
They were among the 120,000 Japanese Americans forced from their homes on the West Coast, because of an unfounded fear they were saboteurs or spies for the government of imperial Japan.
In 1943, their oldest son, Kiyoshi, would join the U.S. Army to serve in the all-Japanese American 442nd Regimental Combat Team. On June 26, 1944, Kiyoshi Muranaga would die saving his comrades from an attack from a fearsome German 88mm cannon in the fields near Suvereto, Italy.
Muranaga received the Medal of Honor for that sacrifice.
His is just one of the stories from the Amache camp, where 8,000 Japanese American spent all, or part of World War II exiled from their homes.
Now, one senator, Republican Mike Lee of Utah, is delaying a bill that would help bring those stories to a wider audience by making Amache a National Historic Site under the administration of the National Park Service.
Lee is blocking the Senate's unanimous consent of the Amache bill, which passed the House 416-2 last July. Authored two Colorado House members, Republican Rep. Ken Buck, and Democrat Joe Neguse, it is the kind of bipartisan collaboration most of us say we want to see in a too-often-polarized Congress.

Professors Shocked, Disheartened By Trump Victory
By Mia C. Karr, Crimson Staff Writer
Some of Harvard's authorities on American politics, government, and economics shared feelings of shock and warned of instability in the political system after Donald Trump became president-elect, contrary to the predictions of pundits and pollsters.
"From the beginning, I've not anticipated Donald Trump in any regard," government professor Harvey C. Mansfield '53 said. " I kept thinking he would come to an end."
Mansfield, among the minority of outspoken conservative intellectuals at Harvard, said he thought a lack of education among the American electorate contributed to Trump's unexpected success.
"The whole thing is a victory of the lower half of the American IQ," said Mansfield, who chose to write in Indiana Governor Mike Pence, Trump's running mate, for president.
Harvard faculty tend to lean liberal in their political views. A Crimson analysis in February showed that 91 percent of contributions to presidential candidates at the time went to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Some of Mansfield's colleagues expressed concern that the Trump presidency will further divide a nation already polarized after one of the most bitter presidential campaigns in modern history.
"It's a real disaster for American politics," Government professor Jennifer L. Hochschild said. "There's a huge section of the population that was so angry, mistrustful, furious, that they were prepared to take an enormous risk."
Government and sociology professor Theda R. Skocpol called Trump's election "a crisis comparable to the Civil War."
Skocpol, who supported Clinton in the election, said she was nervous about the businessman's victory because of her own scholarship, some of which has focused on conservatism in America.
"I think that the disorganization and internal conflict of the Republican party have opened the door to someone winning this presidency that even the vast majority of Americans believe is not qualified to be president," she said. "We're in for a terrifying period for this country."
Jill E. Abramson '76, a senior lecturer in English and the former executive editor of the New York Times, wrote about election night for the Guardian from Hillary Clinton's New York City headquarters.Abramson said by the time she left, shortly before midnight, signs of distress were evident among the assembled Clinton supporters.
"There were young women who I could see were crying and comforting each other," she said.
In the wake of Trump's surprise victory, Abramson said journalists must redouble their efforts to act as political watchdogs and check the new president's authority.
"I think Trump's rhetoric has had an obvious authoritarian streak," she said. "I don't think the country wants a government with unbridled power."
Some professors discussed the surprising election result at forums. On Wednesday evening, the Mahindra Humanities Center hosted a panel discussion with government professor Danielle S. Allen, economics professor David I. Laibson '88, and history professor Jill M. Lepore.
Laibson argued that Trump's victory was fueled by growing income inequality between educated and uneducated Americans, a problem that he projects will intensify with robots and artificial intelligence increasingly replacing the labor force.
"What I unfortunately see, is a much darker road ahead," he said "The forces that I've described are going to intensify."
The large lecture hall that held the panel was entirely filled, and people crowded outside the door for a chance to enter. Homi K. Bhabha, a humanities professor and the director of the Mahindra Center, who moderated the panel, said the event was meant to be an occasion for both conversation and comfort.
"I'm so delighted to see a very full room on an evening when I feel particularly empty," he said.

2021-02-14 11:17:16 | The dos and don'ts of Zoom dating (by someone who knows firsthand)
February 14, 2021 - by Morgan Lawrence - Leave a Comment
Story by: Morgan Lawrence The Telegraph
Ellie Stevens, a 24-year-old graduate, could barely contain her excitement. It was December and she was preparing for a date with Daniel, a 33-year-old financial analyst and veritable hunk (if his profile picture was anything to go by).
The pair matched on a dating app while both living in Berkshire, and, after a few weeks of near-constant texting, she felt confident they'd have a connection in person. Eventually, the date was set: new heels were ordered; the restaurant was booked. She was counting the days. But before they had the chance to meet, the second national lockdown was announced. Annoyed but undeterred, Daniel popped the question: "Will you go on a virtual date with me?"
It wasn't the original plan, but Stevens was looking forward to it. "I live with two housemates, so I prepared for the date in my room," she admits. "Part of me was relieved that I wouldn't have to dress up (I wore slippers) and take the bus to the town centre." Wine in hand, she opened her laptop and waited for sparks to fly; however, things didn't go as expected.
The virtual date was awkward and dull. The chemistry between the pair that had grown over text fell flat when translated to video. After a stilted hour of "so, this is weird" and "what did you eat today" small talk, she hung up the video call, feeling short-changed.
Stevens's experience is not uncommon among singles who have opted to date virtually during the pandemic. Cast an eye over Refund My S— Date, a platform set up in December by dating app Inner Circle, and you'll find hundreds of similar stories from anonymous singletons in the online dating sphere.
One user recalls a Zoom date with man who called himself "Sunshine Dave". "He wore sunglasses and a large hat so I couldn't see his face," she wrote. "He wasn't like his texting self. I pulled the plug once he put on a Rastafarian accent and started insulting me."

While reading stories like this, I shuddered at the thought of my own brush with virtual dating: an awkward one-hour Zoom session with a handsome but misunderstood art teacher, who, in the first 50 minutes, escaped for a cigarette break, drank one and a half bottles of wine and told me off for daring to ask about his family.
We'd only been texting on a dating app for a few weeks, but it was hard not to fantasise beforehand – could this floppy-haired, book-loving, parka-wearing man be relationship material? He wasn't, alas, and even though I knew I'd saved money on transport, an outfit and dinner, the unsuccessful date somehow felt harder to take when sitting alone in my bedroom.
It was clear that many essential elements of a real-life first date – the buzz of a busy restaurant or bar, the noise, the music, the distractions of food and people, the nervous laughter, the accidental brush of an arm or leg – imperceptible things that can mask awkward moments or cushion the blow if things are going badly, were missing.
There was just our conversation and a face on a screen, and not a lot else. And when it ended, there was no long goodbye; we both just closed our laptops.
Stevens felt the same way; she logged off feeling deflated when her date floundered. The lack of connection left her wondering: why was the bond she'd developed with Daniel, one that got her through weeks of isolation, unable to stand up to a video call? With so many stories echoing the same sentiment, I needed guidance.

Online dating – and the very 2020/2021 phenomenon of video dating, has made meeting others easier, but it has its challenges too, says media and business psychologist Charlotte Armitage.
"In person, we rely on subconscious communication to establish how we feel about someone. One might describe it as the 'gut feeling': when something may inexplicably feel wrong or right," she says. "In the online domain, we can no longer count on these instinctive abilities to assess the situation. As a consequence, it can be harder to have deep communication, which makes it difficult to ascertain whether or not there is a connection with the person you're dating."
Another challenge of video dating is that we are hyper-aware of being watched, and of our own facial expressions. "Most video calling platforms will include the user's own camera view on the screen," said Dr Linda Kaye, a lecturer in psychology and cyber-psychology expert, in an article for Psychreg. "This enhances our self-awareness, resulting in us making additional self-presentation efforts."
Not only does video calling require a sustained attention to words instead of body language, in a dating context, it can cut off cues we'd ordinarily rely on to judge character (dating "red flags" to you and me). On video, we're framed from the shoulders up, meaning that hand gestures and posture are obscured. Likewise, a dodgy internet connection can disrupt conversation.
In 2014, a study headed by Dr Katrin Schoenenberg of T-Labs in Berlin, revealed that delays in conferencing technology shaped our views of people negatively; delays of just 1.2 seconds made people perceive the responder as less friendly or focused.
Add in the inability to correctly judge the length of a pause between speakers, and every Zoom discussion runs the risk of becoming group "monologuing" (a term used by Ashley Fetters in The Atlantic) rather than a naturally flowing conversation with frequent interjections.

All of which suggests anyone who is single is likely to be gripped by despair. On the contrary, according to a survey by Inner Circle, 86 per cent of people hope to have a better dating experience in 2021, and 83 per cent are now looking for a more serious relationship. The pandemic – and video dating – haven't killed dating by any means.
For many, living alone during the pandemic has been a challenge. Without after-work drinks and gatherings, singletons are now facing several more months of solitude. "People who didn't previously think themselves ready for a relationship are now considering settling down," says Charly Lester, a dating expert for Inner Circle.
And video dating, she adds, is a great way to vet partners and find out what you really want. "You might think you're looking for a guy who is 6ft 6in, but that won't matter when he's sitting behind a computer screen."
It's certainly true that more people are sampling this type of dating. In April 2020, dating website Match.com polled over 6,000 members to see how the pandemic had affected their dating habits. Video chatting, favoured by just 6 per cent of singles before Covid-19, was now used by 69 per cent.
Thousands of women and men are still keen to meet the one by any means necessary, even if it requires enduring a few awkward moments. As for me, I will happily admit that, despite my brush with the bristly art teacher, I am still on the search for love. In fact, I've just organised a date for next week. Fingers crossed it goes a little better…

This is how the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier came to be
Eric Milzarski
At the heart of Arlington National Cemetery lies one of our nation's most magnificent displays of honor and respect to our fallen troops. Three unnamed graves are tended to by some of the most disciplined soldiers the military has to offer. The soldiers tirelessly guard the monument. Every hour (or half hour, during the spring and summer months), the guard is changed with an impressive, precise ceremony.
Each year, these three fallen soldiers receive up to four million visitors — but it's not about honoring the specific individuals contained within the tomb. In death, these three fallen soldiers have became a symbol, representing each and every troop who gave their last breath in service of this great nation. Every step taken by the sentinels, every bouquet of flowers offered, every wreath laid, and every flag placed is for every American troop who has fallen.
This is exactly what was intended when the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was dedicated almost one hundred years ago, on November 11, 1921.
The King of England is also the head of the Church of England, so he chose to place the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey, where all future kings and queens would be crowned, married, and buried.

The tradition of honoring a fallen but unknown troop actually originated as a joint effort between France and the UK.
In 1916, David Railton was a chaplain in the English Army serving on the Western Front of World War I. Near Armentières, France, he discovered a rough, wooden cross planted in the middle of a battlefield. It read, simply, "an unknown British soldier, of the Black Watch."
David Railton would go on to join the clergy after the war, but the image of that cross never left his mind. It took years, but after many attempts, he finally got the ear of Bishop Herbert Ryle, the Dean of Westminster. Railton wanted to repatriate the remains of this fallen soldier and give him proper honors, despite not knowing his identity. Bishop Ryle was moved by Rev. Railton's passionate words and went directly to King George V with his proposal.
Reverend Railton would later say,
"How that grave caused me to think!… But, who was he, and who were they [his folk]?… Was he just a laddie… . There was no answer to those questions, nor has there ever been yet. So I thought and thought and wrestled in thought. What can I do to ease the pain of father, mother, brother, sister, sweetheart, wife and friend? Quietly and gradually there came out of the mist of thought this answer clear and strong, "Let this body – this symbol of him – be carried reverently over the sea to his native land." And I was happy for about five or ten minutes."
The soldier was buried at Westminster Abbey, London on November 11, 1920, thus creating what's now known as The Tomb of The Unknown Warrior.
It's fitting that the Arch built in honor of the French victory in WWI would also be the final resting site for her unknown soldier.

Meanwhile, across the English Channel, in France, a young officer in the Le Souvenir Français, an association responsible for maintaining war memorials, had better luck. He argued for bringing an unidentified fallen soldier into the Pantheon in Paris to honor of all fallen French soldiers from the Great War — and his proposal garnered support.
Both England and France decided to share the honors. They buried France's Unknown Soldier underneath the Arc de Triomphe on the same day as The Unknown Warrior was laid to rest at Westminster.
(U.S. Army photo by Spc. Cody Torkelson)
The next year, as the United States began the process of repatriating remains from the European battlefield, plans for an American Tomb of the Unknown Soldier began to take shape. The originator of the idea remains unknown to history, but the selection process was public. On October 24, 1921, six American soldiers were asked to come to Châlons-sur-Marne, France. Each soldier was a highly decorated and highly respected member of their respective units. They were selected to be pallbearers for the remains as they made their way back to the States.
While there, the officer in charge of grave registrations, Major Harbold, randomly selected one of the men. He gave Sgt. Edward F. Younger a bouquet of pink and white roses and asked him to step inside the chapel alone. There, four identical, unmarked coffins awaited him. He was told that whichever coffin he laid the roses on would be laid to rest in the National Shrine.
Younger said of the event,
"I walked around the coffins three times, then suddenly I stopped. What caused me to stop, I don't know, it was as though something had pulled me. I placed the roses on the coffin in front of me. I can still remember the awed feeling that I had, standing there alone."
The remains were brought to the Capital Rotunda and remained there until November 11th, 1921. President Warren G. Harding officiated a ceremony in which he bestowed upon the Unknown Soldier the Medal of Honor and a Victoria Cross, given on behalf of King George V.
Since that day, the entombed soldier has been guarded every moment of every day, rain, shine, hurricane, or blizzard.

Cyntoia Brown, Sex Trafficking Victim Serving Life for Killing John, Granted Clemency Hearing
Filed to:news
Screenshot: YouTube
For the last 13 years, Cyntoia Brown, a sex trafficking victim, has been serving a life sentence in a Tennessee jail for killing her john. Brown, who was tried as an adult when she was 16 years old, caught the media's attention when activists and celebrities rallied for a new trial for her to be granted clemency. Almost a year later, Brown has been granted a new hearing for May 23.
According to the New York Times, Tennessee's Board of Probation and Parole, appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam, will hear Brown's clemency petition; the decision of whether or not to recommend releasing Brown will be in their hands. The final decision will be the governor's.
When Brown was 16, she fatally shot a man who paid her for sex. Brown's story caught the media attention when Me Facing Life: Cyntoia's Story, a 2011 documentary by filmmaker Dan Birman, resurfaced on social media. Celebrities like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian publicized Brown's story.
Republican Tennessee state Rep. Jeremy Faison has been pushing for Brown's release and argues that laws that were in place at the time of her sentencing were not fair. And in 2016 he attempted to introduce a bill that would require the review of life sentences handed down to juveniles after serving 15 years, but the bill was never passed.
"Did she kill the guy? Absolutely. Did we have proof of why she killed him? No, we don't," Faison said. "She was the victim of a man who picked her up when she was 16."
But not everyone is in favor of granting Brown clemency. Like Jeff Burks, the man who prosecuted her when she was a teen. Burks thinks that Brown isn't a victim because she actually tried to recruit someone to rob the john after she killed him.
"What should the law be as to a 16-year-old who does this? I don't weigh in on that," he said. "But the facts of the case, I have a strong position on."
Faison also hopes that the governor will consider a pardon. Either way, the rest of Brown's life is now in the governor's hands.

Q: Understanding a Lemma from J. Aarts Plane and Solid Geometry I read this recent question on proving that the identity is never the product of an odd number of reflections. After googling a bit, I found a Lemma in J. Aarts Plane and Solid Geometry, but I didn't fully understand the proof. I'll post the relevant sections, and the google book can be found here.

The Lemma that answers the linked question can be found on the google book, but I think I will understand it if I understand the proof of this above theorem.
I have two questions.

*

*Why is it the case that if the three reflection axes are concurrent or all parallel does it follow that $\mathcal{F}$ is a reflection? For instance, I see in the case that if the axes are all parallel, then lines perpendicular to them will be invariant, but I don't necessarily see why there should be just one new axis of reflection that can replace the other three. I also played around with reflecting points across three concurrent axes, but didn't see why there should be one new reflection axis that "fits all" in a sense.

*I'm uncomfortable with the line 'We can find $l_1^\prime$ and $l_2^\prime$ such that $S_{l_2^\prime}\circ S_{l_1^\prime}=S_{l_2}\circ S_{l_1}$ and $l^\prime_2$ is perpendicular to $l_3$. This seems like a lot to demand of these two lines, why should we be sure such lines exist?
Thanks for taking the time to read, it's been bugging me since I googled it when the other question was first posted.

A: A composition of two reflections whose axis are parallel is a translation.
Since translations commute with each other, this implies that if you conjuguate the reflections with a translation, their composition will be the same translation as before.
This means that in the case where you are composing reflections with parallel axis, you can translate those two axis by the same vector without changing the result.
A composition of two reflections whose axis intersect at $P$ is a rotation of center $P$.
Since rotations of center $P$ commute with each other, this again implies that you can rotate the axis of your reflections around $P$ both by the same angle without changing the result.
These two things answer your questions :

*

*if the 3 axis are parallel, translate the first two so that the axis of the 2nd reflection coincides with the axis of the 3rd. Then, since you are composing two reflections with the same axis, they cancel each other, and you are left with only one reflection.

*you simply need to find the rotation around $A$ which will bring $l_2$ perpendicular to $l_3$, and rotate the two axis $l_1$ and $l_2$ accordingly. Then you rotate $l'_2$ and $l_3$ around $C$ until $l'_3$ and $l'_1$ are parallel.


The physical demands of advanced manufacturing can lead to worker fatigue, which can result in worker injuries and loss in productivity. Body sensors could help detect signs of fatigue and call attention to the need for interventions, according to a study released by the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP).
Evaluating the effectiveness of various fatigue interventions.
Nearly 58 percent of workers surveyed reported experiencing fatigue in the previous week, Cavuoto and her colleagues found. The most frequently affected body parts were ankles/feet, eyes, and the lower back. The most frequently cited root causes were lack of sleep, shift schedule, and work stress.
Respondents reported coping with fatigue by drinking caffeinated drinks, stretching or doing exercises, and talking with coworkers.
Cavouto and her team concluded from their experiments in body-sensor monitoring that manufacturing-sector employers should invest in data-driven assessments to prevent occupational injury. The use of wearable sensors can detect physical fatigue in a number of different occupational settings. By monitoring body movements, wearable sensors can detect the starting point of fatigue and alert workers and employers to the need for individualized intervention.
Train users on proper wear and maintenance of the sensors.
High-level task involved manual materials handling with order picking.
The report suggested using data from body sensors could fill in some of the current knowledge gaps in ergonomics.
Brief and frequent rest breaks (as short as one to two minutes, as frequently as every half hour) countered fatigue from long work shifts.

A fire is probably the most comforting thing a human can experience. The only thing that comes even close is food. It stands to reason, then, that a fire smelling of food would be the most comforting thing of all, and that you could achieve peak comfort by cooking food on an open fire -- but this is 2018, and that sounds like a lot of work.
Instead, you can buy this chicken log from KFC and easily bask in the roasting flesh of beasts, without actually setting an animal on fire in your home. To be clear, this is not actually called a chicken log, but it is a real product. It's the 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog, "inspired by the Colonel's very own Secret Recipe," made in collaboration with Enviro-Log. As its proper name suggests, the log is scented like what KFC chicken is prepared in, not the chicken itself. But we know the truth.
"At KFC, we have always been proud of our role in bringing loved ones together at the dinner table around a bucket of our world-famous fried chicken," Andrea Zahumensky, KFC U.S. CMO, said in a statement. "Now, this winter we're bringing all the things we love -- family, friends and fried chicken -- together around the fire with our scented firelog."
According to the log's press release, this is "the perfect accessory for any winter gathering." It's hard to picture an appropriate occasion where you could casually throw this on a fire, but we're sure you'll think of one.
The 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog will run you just $18.99, while supplies last, at www.KFCFirelogs.com. It'll probably make you hungry -- at which point, you can eat some real chicken.


It's also a good time to mention Ben Rudnick and Friends' new sampler album The Challenger Baseball Song and Other Hits, proceeds of which will go to benefit the Challenger Division of Little League Baseball. The title track is a zippy Rudnick-ian jam, and the other tracks are a good selection of the band's music. Learn more and listen to sound clips here and here.
-- "Cryin' in the Dugout" -- off Daddy-A-Go-Go's upcoming Eat Every Bean and Pea on Your Plate album. A humorous song -- "Baseball Dreams" played for laughs instead of nostalgia.
And finally, an artist reviewed here on this very site wrote me to suggest four more songs, including at least one I'm miffed I forgot... the comments in quotes are the artist's, not mine.
If any of you have more suggestions (or can point me to a family-friendly soccer song), leave me a comment.
Baseball, Baseball by Stephen Cohen?
Thanks, Gwyneth! Y'know, I specifically looked at that album's spine, wondering, is there a baseball song on there, but decided "no" without checking the tracklist.
The cover of John Fogerty's "Centerfield" by Visqueen on the DeSoto Records "Play" release?
Yes, Bill, was actually thinking about that one earlier today and it slipped my mind between then and typing. Thanks for the reminder.
Good to see your list that includes "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" by Steve Goodman. He often doesn't get his due.
Thought you might be interested in an eight-year project of mine that is coming to fruition -- a biography of Goodman that will be published in May. The book delves into the origin of "Dying Cub Fan" and Goodman's two other baseball songs, "Go, Cubs, Go" and "Dave Kingman," as well as other compositions in Goodman's catalogue. And anyone who has heard it will tell you that Goodman's version of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is unforgettably upbeat.
Please e-mail me at ceals@comcast.net if you would like me to e-mail you a background sheet on the book. Or check my Internet site below for more info and how to pre-order, if you like. Just trying to spread the word. Feel free to do the same!
As for soccer, the only one that has come to mind so far is "It's Not Mine" from Pricess Katie and Racer Steve.
You might also enjoy Peter Himmelman's faux baseball trivia piece on his new cd My Green Kite. The track is no. 9, "Baseball Tips with Professor Buckley." Pretty funny stuff.
