Genius Boost is not just built to provide sufficient power to start an engine; it also has safety system in place that protects you.
Why Should You Buy NOCO Genius Boost PRO BG150 Car Jump Starter?
Rated at 4000 amps (22,500 Joules3S) Genius Boost is the compact yet the most powerful lithium jump starter available in the market today. It provides you with up to 80 jump starts on a single charge.
You can safely connect Genius Boost to any battery with the help of its ultra-safe spark-proof technology and reverse polarity protection.
Includes an ultra-bright 100 lumen LED flashlight. The flashlight has 7 light modes that includes SOS and Emergency Strobe.
Enables you to recharge your personal devices like smartphones, tablets and 12-volt devices.
NOCO Genius Boost GB150 Jump starter is designed to work with Diesel and Gas engines of Trucks, Boats, Commercial equipment, Busses and several other engines with capacity of up to 10+Litres.
NOCO Genius Boost PRO has an Ultra Safe lithium battery inside which is capable of delivering up to 80 full power jump starts per charge. It is also amazing that a lot of safety measures has been put in place to avoid any kind of accident. Even if you touch the clamp together or hook up to a battery backward, there is still no negative impact.
The capacity of NOCO Genius Boost PRO GB150 is over 1000 charge cycles and it is capable of retaining its charge level for over a year with so little power loss.
Vehicles are mainly started by joules and not the misconception of Peak amps. Starting time of an average vehicle is 1-3seconds, which makes the peak amps worthless. Battery boosters potential can be revealed with a consistent actual power output for a period of time.
'Joules 3s' Just as the number denoted 3; it means the actual amount of power delivered in 3seconds. Don't be deceived by the high amperage ratings placed on jump starters, because amps without time and voltages is invalid.
NOCO Genius Boost functions with high displacement gas and diesel cars, trucks, boats, commercial vehicles, and equipment, and is safe on engines of any size.
IF you compare NOCO Genius Boost Pro GB150 jump starter with any 3,000-amp lead-acid jump starter, the GB150 provides 22,500 joules versus 7,500 joules. This makes NOCO Genius Boost 3 times more powerful and 2 times smaller. The device is lighter too.
NOCO GB150 has an in-built voltmeter which reads the voltage of the battery of the vehicle. This helps with enhanced diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Having sufficient track of a battery's voltage is vital in understanding the problem. Assuming the voltage is above 12V and you're experiencing difficulty starting up the engine, it may not be the battery that's causing the issue. This demands you look for the problem elsewhere.
NOCO GB150 Boost features a 12V power port which enables you to charge accessories with a power rating of 12V which includes inverters, tire pumps, and more. With 12V input, it has the capacity to fast recharge.
With Genius Boost you can charge your USB devices with a 2.1A USB OUT port. This can be also used as a means to charge any USB powered device, such as; a smartphones, tablet, GPS and many more. Furthermore, there is a 2.1A USB IN port that makes Genius Boost universal to receive recharge from any USB port, such as; a phone charger or laptop.
NOCO Genius Boost recharges 4X faster with XGC.
You can recharge NOCO GB150 using any USB-powered port, try a wall charger, car charger or even a laptop charger, just make sure the volt rating matches. But be aware, it may require 11 hours to full charge the device.
With XGC on board, you can use the vehicle's auxiliary port to charge, and use its rapid charge technology to accelerate your recharge time. XGC makes the recharge process 4X faster. Full charge around 2 hours. In just 15 minute you can accelerate from zero charge to jump starting.
Genius Boost includes an Ultra-bright 500-lumen 10X LED flashlight.
The rechargeable LED flashlight of NOCO GB150 is lithium-powered that includes seven light modes. Includes a SOS and emergency strobe. It can get acquainted with different kind of environment with its ability to set different luminosity settings.
It will help you in different emergency situations like emergency engine check, changing a tire or even warning the vehicles passing by if you're in need of road side assistance.
Lithium batteries do not work very well in cold temperature.
It comes with no chargers of any kind whatsoever.
Provided you are searching for a portable jump starter, NOCO Genius Boost Pro GB150 is the best choice for a car jump starter. I have it for my Chevy has a 4.3l Vortec V-6 gas engine, works perfectly so far.
Overall the NOCO Genius GB150 is a superb jump starter that is powerful and safe to use. Its small size makes it practical to carry even in a backpack. You can't go wrong with this one.
Good to hear your valuable inputs guys. Thank you for dropping by.
My truck wouldn't start last night, I wasn't worried at all as I have my NOCO genius. I was heading back home minutes later.
This has been a life savior severaltimes last 6 months. My V6 motor is old and sometimes she refuses to start!
Compact and works exactly as stated. Very good Jump starter.
This jump starter starts my V8 engines like a new battery. I tried a few jumpers but this one beats them all. It held 420 Amps and held that for 20 seconds which is fantastic! If you're thinking about picking this guy I'd say stop thinking and get it. You can't go wrong with noco genius boost.
Mine came with a missing instructions catalog lol, a few emails to the customer support and received a brand new catalog 2 days ago.
A great jump starter. Starts my diesel truck just fine. Definitely recommended!


A groundbreaking ceremony will mark the start of building work on the campus for Derby Manufacturing University Technical College (UTC).
UTC Principal Designate Philip Morris will cut the first sod on the site in Locomotive Way to mark the occasion. Contractors BAM Construct UK will build the £8 million centre which has been designed by Maber Architects.
The UTC will then open in September 2015 for the first intake of students in years 10 and 12 – providing young people with the skills needed in engineering and manufacturing, including the rail industry.
The UTC will have capacity for up to 600 young people aged 14 to 19. They will study core GCSE's, A levels and engineering qualifications enhanced by project based learning, work placements, employer site visits and industry expert lectures.
Derby Manufacturing UTC is a partnership between Derby College, the University of Derby, Rolls-Royce Plc, Bombardier, Toyota Motor Manufacturing (UK) Ltd, Derby City Council and a wide range of supply chain employers working in local manufacturing and engineering.
It is one of 50 new UTCs being developed across the country which are being developed to fill the skills gap in industry by training young engineers who have the talent and skills that employers need now and in the future.
Employers at a wide range of local businesses, including Rolls-Royce plc and Toyota UK, have been heavily involved in setting up Derby Manufacturing UTC and will continue to work alongside the organisation to provide work experience opportunities and projects for the learners.
Work placement opportunities will be core elements of the work programmes where learners will be able to put into practice the skills they have learnt in the classroom into work activity, supported by mentors from local companies.
Mr Morris said: "The ground breaking will be an important milestone for the Derby Manufacturing UTC and marks the 12 month countdown to the launch of this exciting new education facility in September 2015.
"We expect the applications to start increasing over the coming months as young people currently in years nine and 11 start to think about their options for next September.
Contractors BAM Construction, which has offices in Derby, has a long history of working in the East Midlands. The company has been awarded the construction contracts for 16 of the UTCs reflecting their proven ability to deliver these specialist buildings.
It also has carried out a major redevelopment of East Midlands Airport as well as building Derby Council's new civic offices. The contractor is working on the £10.5 million Nottingham University Academy of Science and Technology and recently completed the highly sustainable 202-bed Orchard Hotel for the University of Nottingham.

Q: Decoding JSON coming from MySQL via PHP to a complex Struct in SwiftUI I have this JSON-File coming from a MySQL-Database via PHP:

            "date":"2021-12-29",
            "amount":1500
         }
      ]
   }
]

In SwiftUI I try to decode it to a custom struct called Depot which consists of one instance of the custom struct Partner and an array of Instances of the custom struct Depotstand:
import Foundation
import SwiftUI

struct Partner: Hashable, Codable, Identifiable {
    var id: Int
    var name: String
    var image: String

    var imageName: Image {
        Image(image)
    }
}

struct Depotstand: Hashable, Codable, Identifiable {
    var id: Int
    var depot_id: Int
    var date: Date
    var amount: Double
}

struct Depot: Hashable, Codable, Identifiable {
    var id: Int
    var partner: Partner
    var name: String
    var type: String
    var iban: String
    var datapoints: [Depotstand]
}

I've added a data-model, to get the JSON-data from my webserver - this part works fine - and then I try to decode the data to the custom struct Depot, which fails (it works, if I simplify the JSON/struct to only the simple Depot struct without depending on Partner and Depotstand instances):
import Foundation

final class ModelDataDepot: ObservableObject {
    @Published var depots = [Depot]()

    init(){
        let url = URL(string: "https://api.webcoders.ch/index.php")!

        URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
            do {
                if let data = data {
                    let decodedData = try JSONDecoder().decode([Depot].self, from: data)
                    DispatchQueue.main.async {
                        self.depots = decodedData
                    }
                } else {
                    print("No Data!")
                }
            } catch {
                print("JSON-Error: \(error)")
            }
        }.resume()
    }
}

Here is the error I get which contains mainly data-type errors, but I have no idea to get around this:
JSON-Error: typeMismatch(Swift.Double, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [_JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 0", intValue: 0), CodingKeys(stringValue: "datapoints", intValue: nil), _JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 0", intValue: 0), CodingKeys(stringValue: "date", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Double but found a string/data instead.", underlyingError: nil))

I've already tried some different data-casting, even using Numberformatters etc. but I can't get it to work... I also checked out this article about casting JSON-data into complex swift struct, but I was not able to resolve my issues.
Thanks for helping me out!
P.s: I am an absolute beginner to SwiftUI and mobile development in general... My coding background is mainly PHP, PowerShell and such, so please be patient with me. :-)

A: you could try this with var date: Date :
final class ModelDataDepot: ObservableObject {
    @Published var depots = [Depot]()

let dataDateFormat: DateFormatter = {
    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
    return formatter
}()

    init(){
        let url = URL(string: "https://api.webcoders.ch/index.php")!

        URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
            do {
                if let data = data {
                    let decoder = JSONDecoder()
                    decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .formatted(self.dataDateFormat)  //<-- here
                    let decodedData = try decoder.decode([Depot].self, from: data)
                    DispatchQueue.main.async {
                        print("\n-----> decodedData: \(decodedData) \n")
                        self.depots = decodedData
                    }
                } else {
                    print("No Data!")
                }
            } catch {
                print("JSON-Error: \(error)")
            }
        }.resume()
    }
}

struct Depotstand: Hashable, Codable, Identifiable {
    var id: Int
    var depot_id: Int
    var date: Date
    var amount: Double
}

I have been slack on updating the results again but its hard when its just another loser. Birmingham had their goalie sent off and conceded a penalty and went on to draw 1-1. That was in the first half so fair play to Birmingham for not going down.
I watched Sporting Gijon narrowly lose to Valencia last Sunday when a late goal won it for Valencia in a game that could have gone either way and ended 3-2. Sporting are now right down in the dogfight but hopefully their ability to score will get them out.
It's an interesting time of year with teams stuck in relegation battles and others with nothing to play for. Bookies seems to price games up as if all relegation threatened teams have an extra edge but I would say for every Tevez inspired West Ham that beats the drop there's another team who go the opposite way and are relegated instead of them.
Can't wait for the Chelsea v Barcelona champions league games and we will see how good Barca really are. The only game they've struggled in this season was against Real Madrid, who are far and away the best team they have played. I think we may find out they are not as good as people think and rather Spain is a weak league.
I fancied Boro and Fulham to draw in the Premier and Spurs look pretty solid against Newcastle, but West Ham look much too big in my book.
Apologies to Terry but I am against the Villa this weekend. O'Neill has talked positively but they come into this game with no wins and 5 defeats in the last 7 games. At home they've not won in 5 and it's their home form that has let them down this season taking just 23 from a possible 48, whereas away it's 30 from a possible 48. West Ham's away form is decent and they are in with an outside chance of UEFA qualification if Villa were to implode now and another win would leave them 6 points behind with 5 games to play. They still have something to play for and 6 looks a huge price against a team struggling.
Yeovil are one of those teams down in the relegation zone that hit form and need a couple more wins for safety. Yeovil have lost just once in the last 6 matches and unbeaten in 6 at home winning the last 3. Since the end of October Hartlepool have won just once away losing 9 of those 16 matches. This is a game that means a lot for both sides and I'm happy to go with the form side at a decent price.
It was last season when Valenciennes were rock solid at home and won a few bets on this blog. They seem to have got that back again recently as they are unbeaten in 8 at home, winning 6 and conceding just 3 goals at home in the last 6 matches. Le Mans started their season with 3 wins and 2 draws in the first 5 away games. Since then it's been 7 losses and a draw. Valenciennes lost their last match away at Nancy but prior to that had gone 13 games without defeat. The raw figures of Valenciennes winning 8/15 at home and Le Mans losing 7/15 away gives a price of evens so with the form getting over that looks good. An interesting stat is that of these 15 games 9 of them would have been won by the home team by more than one goal and Valenciennes -1 @ 3.25 on Bet365 looks good value.
3 points stake d on the weeken d.
Good luck in whatever bets you do.

Why Journalism Needs Specificity

Ian Marcus Corbin's excellent book review [1] on Albert Camus brought to mind some important—and easily forgotten—truths on the intersection between the abstract and the particular, specifically as they apply to the realm of writing. One of my favorite parts from the article:
There is no way for a thinker—or indeed, a user of language—to eschew abstraction entirely, of course, but Camus was deeply attuned to the dangers of excessive abstraction. This may not sound particularly heroic, but it can be, and it certainly was in Camus's day. Camus's peers, mid-century French intellectuals, were all too susceptible to the raptures of abstraction. The Left Bank bien pensants were, with few exceptions, stalwart armchair Marxists, obliquely aware that the divine dream of the worker's paradise was exacting a brutal toll on the actual humans of the Soviet bloc, but blissfully unmoved by this fact. Camus publicly, angrily, charged that their fixation on beautiful ideas made them insensate to the ugly cost such ideas imposed on the much-beloved proletariat. And indeed, it is now difficult—impossible—to think Camus wrong.
In contrast to other philosophers of his day, Camus couldn't turn a blind eye to the pain—and beauty—of his world. Corbin notes that he travelled to executions and wrote about them in "excruciating detail." He was a man "entranced" by the real—a man who once wrote, "There are, before our eyes, realities stronger than we ourselves are. Our ideas will bend and become adapted to them."
These descriptions of Camus' focused writing and living reminded me of a New Yorker piece [2] I read yesterday about Nellie Bly—a groundbreaking female journalist who, in her perhaps most well-known feat, pretended to be mentally ill in order to report on maltreatment and abuse in a mental asylum. The sheer grit required for her feat amazes me. Bly's undercover journalism required courage, persistence, and a deep love of humanity.
But long, person-focused stories like hers seem to dominate the media less and less, unfortunately. And though it's true that shrinking newspaper budgets may place some part in this, I think technology, nationalization, and "datafication" of the news are primary culprits.
First: it's becoming increasingly easy for journalists (myself included) to work primarily in front of a computer all day. While some may still go out into the world and interview real people, interviews are increasingly easy to do over the phone or email. And the web is a machine that can dangerously curate our experience of the world: Google weeds out news stories and websites that it thinks users won't want. While we may interact with people who defy our stereotypical vision of the world, it becomes increasingly difficult to do so. We deal mostly in trends, blog stories, and click bait. It's much easier to lose the human face in this world.
The primary realm of on-the-ground reporting remains the small town newspaper—and sadly, these newspapers are suffering most in our current economy. I think it's vital that these small-town presses stay alive. They play an important role in the life of their citizens, and do much of the work that newspapers were principally created for. National newspapers, while still offering us valuable information, focus more on the aggregate than the individual by design. They'll cover a person, occasionally—but only if the person is notorious, or emblematic of a larger trend or movement.
It is true that there are still beautiful news features that focus on the human person, as an individual. But it often seems more useful, pragmatic, and precise to measure the human species (or voter bloc, or nationality, or gender) as a whole, and write about that. Thus, our stories change—rather than writing about a local single mom, we write about "Why America's Single Mothers Struggle With So-And-So." Instead of writing about a young woman struggling to find a good job, we write about "The Confidence Gap." Instead of discussing gentrification in Seattle or San Francisco, we write about "How Gentrification Hurts People" (complete with pretty graphs).
This rebuke isn't just for websites like Vox, which focuses perhaps more than most on the quantified news story. Many journalists nationalize and abstract our news stories. After all, we're told to—the news cycle and commenters reinforce, and even demand, our abstraction and quantification. A writer who speaks from experience, or tells a singular story, may receive the retort, "Well that may be true for you/your source. But where are the numbers? This seems like an isolated incident." We begin to realize that personal stories no longer matter—unless they fit within a well-known trend or datafied truism.
David Brooks made some excellent observations on this tendency in his Thursday New York Times column [3]:
…[A]cademic research offers a look at general tendencies within groups. The research helps you to make informed generalizations about how categories of people are behaving. If you use it correctly, you can even make snappy generalizations about classes of people that are fun and useful up to a point.
But this work is insufficient for anyone seeking deep understanding. Unlike minnows, human beings don't exist just as members of groups. We all know people whose lives are breathtakingly unpredictable: a Mormon leader who came out of the closet and became a gay dad; an investment banker who became a nun; a child with a wandering anthropologist mom who became president.
… By conducting sensitive interviews and by telling a specific story, the best journalism respects the infinite dignity of the individual, and the unique blend of thoughts and feelings that go into that real, breathing life.
Thus, Camus and Bly wrote about the individual. They still acknowledged the big picture, and made sure to write about it. But they didn't forget the inconsistent, unpredictable beauty of the individual.
Neither should we: though we may (and perhaps still should) write stories about "Why Reading Is Important for Everyone Everywhere At All Times," or "How Women Can Conquer the Inequality Gap," we should also write stories about Tom, Harry, Mary, and Anne. Because theirs are the stories, says Camus, that are real.

The problem with person-focused stories nowadays is that they tend to involve journalists finding people who confirm their prejudices, and at least when people express their biases through the medium of statistics one can go back to the data and see how right they are.
A more human perspective is necessary, but I think that what is required from journalists who provide it is a greater interest in people than politics. Perhaps it's my own aesthetic bias speaking, but I think that Werner Herzog is a good example.

This sentimenti is a better fit for movie producers than journalists The former is suited for vivid anecdotes.
#3 Comment By Tom Clark On May 18, 2014 @ 12:42 pm
I don't have any problem with Ms. Olmstead's point, but I have a somewhat different perspective. For me, all truth; journalistic, scientific, personal, or political; is established bottom-up through the examination of individual cases and the variability of individual characteristics in relation to norms. The enemy of truth is a top-down understanding based on anecdotal evidence and imaginative interpretation such as those of Malcolm Gladwell, TED Talks, and Faith Popcorn.
I understand concerns about the detachment of new mega-data-based methods, but over the past five years my socks have been knocked off time after time by the insight and understanding coming from the crunching of thousands and millions of digital data points. I think these methods have changed the meaning of truth in a good way. Real data are the friends of truth, whether they are gathered from twitter feeds or face to face dialogue.

"we should also write stories about Tom, Harry, Mary, and Anne"
But nobody ever heard of these people.

About the rest, anecdote and hear-say have their place and the personalization of experience is important news. The personalization of people unable to get medical treatment because they were unable to get insurance went way beyond number crunching in moving enough americans and their representatives to want some kind of universal healthcare. Market based healthcare would simply be continuing the one where the rich stay healthy and the sick stay poor (until the sick make the rich sick as per current righteous discussion about the sexually overactive poor and queers being reservoirs for disease?).
My disagreement may come from limited experience, but the small town newspaper's demise will not be missed by me. Most local newspaper and television news outlets just re-report what the larger national news reports and if they offer any personal or anecdotal information it just seems to represent the political bias of the organization. Like the president's order that federal contract workers must be paid a higher minimum wage will result in veterans being kicked out of the facilities they are in and on to the street. We are given more than one local family and at least one vet complaining about Obama, not the president, kicking them out on to the street because their facility cannot pay their workers minimum wage. Of course the facility is the one that kicks them out on the street, and no veteran is actually being kicked out on to the street, and the ones that might have to locate to new facilities is less than 1%. So yes, personalization of the news and anecdote have their place, but isn't that where political bias and prejudice is able to come to the forefront of what is supposed to be news and information? Oh, and by the way, the information that less than 1% of the housed veterans would be affected by the wage increase was in the same story, at the very end and after I was feeling perplexed about all these older veterans having to eek it out with reluctant and unprepared familiy members or out on street corners in urine soaked pants. Individual personalization does tend to overwhelm statistics and even reality in forming opinion in the public eye.

Derrick Whitaker always knew he could score 2,000 points.
It didn't matter that only 100 other players in the state of New Jersey had reached the milestone.
Whitaker was confident his name would be included on that list, and on Thursday night, he accomplished his mission.
Whitaker scored his 2,000th point on a 3-pointer in the third quarter en route to a triple-double in a 90-65 win over Piscataway Tech. He finished with 34 points,12 assists, 10 rebounds and six steals as South River won its 15th game of the season.

"I went into the game confident I could do it," he said. "I trusted myself and my teammates and we got the job done."
Whitaker became the 101st player in state history to reach 2,000 points. He's the fourth player to do so this season, joining Cape May Tech's Josh Wright, Ranney's Bryan Antoine and Rob Higgins of Middletown North.
"It feels unreal," Whitaker said. "Just knowing that it's such a select group of people that have been able to accomplish this, and me being one of them is just crazy to me."
Whitaker said that when he scored his 1,000th point his sophomore year, it was against Piscataway Tech and he scored 33 points. On Thursday night, he scored 34 against the same team in his quest for 2,000.
"He's a threat on offense, he's a scorer. He's quiet but he's an offensive threat," South River coach Rodney Harris said. "All four years, since his freshman year he's started for me. If he's going, the whole team goes. We look for him for scoring."
Whitaker reached 1,073 points his sophomore year, and has compiled 928 points in the last two seasons.
"I think it shows a lot about me as a player, but at the same time it shows a lot about the team," Whitaker said. "Without them a lot of the opportunities that I scored, I wouldn't have had those opportunities. It hasn't been easy, not at all, but it's definitely been worth it."
Whitaker said he really started focusing on basketball in the seventh grade, but he wasn't always such an avid scorer.
"When I first started playing I didn't really like having the ball," he said. "When they passed it to me I would pass it right back like a hot potato. I guess I was just lacking confidence at that age."
He started working with a trainer the summer heading into the eighth grade, and as his confidence grew, so did his game.
"We worked on my game, dribbling and shooting and everything to help me progress as a player, and that helped me build my confidence," Whitaker said.
That confidence has served him well as he's been one of the top scorers in the state the last four years. This season he's averaging 20.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, three assists, two blocks, 2.1 steals and 2.6 3-pointers per game as South River has gone 15-6 so far this season.
"It takes a lot of hours in the gym getting up shots, different kind of moves, working on your moves to get to the basket, all kinds of scoring moves," Harris said. "He's always in the gym shooting."
Thursday night was the last regular season game for the Rams, as the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament starts this weekend. Whitaker said that now that his milestone is behind him, him and his teammates have set their sights on tournament play.
"We start our GMC Tournament next Tuesday, and we'd like to make a run in that and win it and make a strong run in states," he said.

Airborne students, teachers help continue NASA relevance
by Chris Owen on Feb 22, 2012
NASA's Airborne Science Program and Earth system science research has a fleet of highly modified aircraft that can be deployed all over the world for Earth science missions. Operating in the United States, Europe, Asia and South America, researchers use these aircraft to improve our understanding of the planet. This summer, thirty-two undergraduate and graduate students from across the United States will participate in the Student Airborne Research Program aimed at measuring pollution in California.
Using NASA's P-3B airborne laboratory, students will measure pollution in the Los Angeles basin and California's Central Valley and study ocean biology along the California coast. In addition to airborne data collection, students will take measurements at field sites.
Its just one part of an ongoing program that combines global satellite observations and ground sampling to better model and understand the complete Earth system, continuing NASA's mission even at a time when manned space flight has all but come to a stop.
"NASA's Airborne Science support of the Earth system science community will be exceptional in 2012," Randy Albertson, NASA Airborne Science deputy program director told SpaceDaily. "The program on track to exceed the 2011 record of 2,600 hours flying science missions."
In addition to the Student Airborne program, NASA has projects scheduled this year that include measuring snowfall from space (critically important to freshwater resources, atmospheric water and energy cycles), collecting detailed measurements of important greenhouse gases and studying the processes that form hurricanes.
Not only students are engaged with NASA either. More than 70 teachers had an opportunity to experience what it feels like to float in space as they participated in the Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston last week.
The teachers flew aboard NASA aircraft designed to fly parabolic flight paths, which create brief periods of weightlessness used in NASA's astronaut training.
NASA Associate Administrator for Education and two-time space shuttle astronaut Leland Melvin also participated in some of the flights and shared first-hand with the participants his experiences in astronaut training.
"The enthusiasm among our teachers participating in the reduced gravity flights is contagious," Melvin said in a statement. "I know it will add a new dimension to their teaching as they engage their students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics studies."

Concepts provide a new way of constraining code. Andrew Sutton shows us how to define and use them.
This article is the second in a series that describe concepts and their use. In the first article, I describe how concepts are used to declare and constrain generic algorithms [Sutton15]. In this article, I discuss how to define and use concepts: the building blocks of the constraints used in the previous article. The next article will focus on systems of concepts, overloading, and specialization.
The features described in this article are based on the ISO Concepts Technical Specification (TS) [N4549], a formal extension of the C++ Programming Language. The specification is implemented in GCC and will be part of the forthcoming 6.0 release. Eric Niebler and Casey Carter are also working on a Ranges TS [N4560] that incorporates these language features and will define the base set of concepts needed for the C++ Standard Library.
In my previous article, I wrote about a simple generic algorithm, in(), which determines whether an element can be found in a range of iterators. Here is its declaration, modified slightly to suit the purposes of this article.
the type of the value and that of the elements in the range must be the Same.
We'll see how value_type can be defined later in this article.
What exactly are Same, Equality_comparable, and Range, and how are they defined?
the returned expression must be a logical proposition (i.e., convertible to bool).
This concept expresses the requirement that two types must be the same. The concept is satisfied whenever std::is_same<T, U>::value is true. Of course, this concept is so fundamental and obvious that it may as well be defined by the compiler.
Variable templates [N3615] were added to C++14 at the 2013 Bristol meeting, the same meeting at which the ISO Concepts TS was formally created. A variable template declares a family of variables whose values depend on template arguments. For example, the value of Same would depend on the types given for T and U.
the initializer expression must be a logical proposition.
requires Same<T, Value_type<R>> // no parens!
We've found that some developers prefer concepts to be declared and written this way despite the lack of overloading. The Concepts TS supports variable templates specifically because of this concern. Variable concepts were added to the TS only after variable templates were added for C++14. My preference is to define concepts as functions, so I use that style throughout this and the other articles in the series.
While every type trait is potentially a concept, the most useful concepts are much more than simple wrappers. Think about Equality_comparable. It requires its template arguments to be usable with == and != operators. In C++14, we might express those requirements using a conjunction of type traits or some other advanced mechanism. Listing 1 is a trait-based implementation. Here, has_equal and has_not_equal are type traits that rely on subtle use of language features to determine the availability of an expression for a type. Their definitions are not shown here.
This approach is both simple and powerful, yet indirect and totally inadequate to the task at hand. Using traits to state requirements obfuscates the intent, making concepts more difficult to read and write. It can also slow compilations, especially when the use of such constraints is ubiquitous throughout a library. More recent concept emulation techniques improve on readability [Niebler13], but we can do better still. The Concepts TS provides direct language support that makes writing concepts simpler, faster to compile, and allows the compiler to produce far better error messages.
To do this, we introduced a new kind of expression: the requires expression. Here is a complete definition of the Equality_comparable concept (see Listing 2). The requires keyword can be followed by a parameter list introducing names to be used to express requirements. Here, we have declarations of a and b.
The body of a requires expression is a sequence of requirements, each of which specifies one or more constraints for expressions and types related to a template argument. We refer to these as a concept's syntactic requirements.
In the Equality_comparable concept, both requirements are compound requirements, meaning they introduce multiple constraints: The expression enclosed within braces (e.g., a == b) denotes a constraint for a valid expression. When the concept is checked against a (concrete) template argument, the constraint is satisfied if the substitution of the template argument into the expression does not result in an error.
The trailing -> bool denotes an implicit conversion constraint on the result type of the instantiated expression. That constraint is satisfied only if the result is implicitly convertible to bool.
The Range concept has more interesting requirements. Let us define it in stages, starting with a first and naïve version (Listing 3). That is, a Range must supply a begin() and an end() function, each taking a Range argument. That's correct, but not every begin() and an end() function will do.
Input_iterator in another useful concept. When defining new concepts, we almost always build on a library of existing ones. Input_iterator is the representation in code of what is defined in English text in the ISO C++ standard.
When the type following the -> is a concept name (or placeholder), the result type is deduced from the required expression. This is called an argument deduction constraint. If deduction fails, or if the deduced type does not satisfy the named concept, the constraint is not satisfied.
That is, begin() and end() must return the same type (here called Iterator_type<R>) and that type must be an Input_iterator. This last requirement is added by the nested requires clause within the body of the requires expression.
To be useful for our purposes, a Range must also name the type of its elements, its Value_type. For example, in() requires that the Value_type of its range is the same type as the type of its value argument. To complete the Range concept we require that it have a Value_type in addition to its Iterator_type (see Listing 4).
To ensure consistency, the value type of a range and its iterators must be the Same. Beyond that, however, there are no other requirements we want to make of Value_type. Those other requirements are imposed by algorithms. For example, the in() algorithm requires equality comparison, whereas std::sort() requires a total order. A concept should include requirements for only the types and operations needed for its intended abstraction. Including extra requirements can make a concept too strict (i.e., not broadly applicable).
When defining requirements for a concept, I introduce type requirements first, then simple and compound requirements, and nested requirements last. This is because constraint checking, the substitution of arguments into constraints to test for satisfaction, follows the short-circuiting logic of the && and || operators. This means that failures detected earlier are less likely to result in unrecoverable instantiation failures later.
The use of alias templates to refer to associated types greatly reduces the verbosity of template declarations. Alias templates like Value_type and Iterator_type refer to facilities that compute associated types based on pattern matching on the 'shape' of the template argument. Listing 5 is a first naïve attempt to define Value_type.
// The value_type of a class is a member type.
// The value_type of an array is its element type.
This seems reasonable at first glance. However, we have not constrained the primary template of the trait definition, and that can cause problems. When the compiler selects the primary template for a template argument that does not have a nested ::value_type, compilation will fail. This is an unrecoverable error that breaks concept checking.
We want to define the value_type trait so that it is instantiated if and only if there is a specialization that provides an appropriate type. To do this, we factor a new constrained specialization out of the primary template leaving it unconstrained and undefined (see Listing 6). Now, the value_type is defined only where it is meaningful. The new specialization is chosen only for classes that have a member called value_type.
To avoid verbosity, I did not define a new concept like Has_value_type. Instead, I used a requires expression directly within the requires clause. Yes, requires requires is syntactically correct – it is not a typo. The first requires introduces the requires clause, the second starts the requires expression.
This syntax for ad hoc constraints is not optimized (i.e., gross) on purpose. Providing a more elegant syntax for these kinds of constraints might encourage programmers to think about generic code in terms of small syntactic fragments (although these are sometimes helpful when laying the foundations of higher level abstractions). In general, useful concepts have obvious and meaningful names.
Writing fundamental concepts requires an understanding of the way the type system and other language rules interact. For example, we cannot constrain the primary template directly because constraints are checked after name lookup. Every lookup for T* would fail because pointers do not have nested members. Libraries of concepts saves us from having to consider such subtleties all the time.
When the type trait is instantiated during concept checking, the compiler considers each partial specialization, if none match (e.g., int is neither an array, nor does it have nested type names), then the compiler selects the primary template, which happens to be undefined. The result is a substitution failure that gets 'trapped' by the requires expression that causes the instantiation, and this causes enclosing concept to be unsatisfied.
In other words, value_type is a recipe for writing SFINAE-friendly type traits using concepts. The definition of the Iterator_type and its underlying trait have similar definitions.
Listing 7 is our working definition for the in() algorithm. As declared, the value type of R must be the same as T, which would make the following program ill-formed.
A string literal does not have the same type as std::string, so the constraints are not satisfied. That's not good enough. The std::string class provides a number of overloads to make it work seamlessly with C-strings, and we should be able to use those in our generic algorithms. How can we change the algorithm to support these kinds of mixed-type operations?
We could redefine the algorithm so that value was a Value_type<R>. However, this would always require a conversion at the call site, which would almost certainly be a pessimization (converting a C-string to a std::string may require an allocation).
We could drop the Same requirement. But then the interface would not express how the elements in range are related to value, and we want our constraints to fully express the syntax used within the definition.
Our best choice is to change the Same requirement to something more permissive: a concept that supports equality comparisons between values of different types. Rather creating a concept with a different, name we can extend Equality_comparable by adding a new definition that takes two arguments instead of one. That is, we overload the Equality_comparable() function. That concept must express requirements for all the ways in which we can compare values of different types for equality (see Listing 8).
This concept requires the symmetric comparison of values of type T and U.
We can now use the mixed-type Equality_comparable concept to weaken the constraints on the in().
These constraints fully specify the syntax used within the implementation, the program compiles as expected, and it does not introduce any additional runtime overhead. This is a better declaration of in(); it's also the version we used in the first article. The ability to extend a concept to support mixed-type requirements is an essential tool for making algorithms more broadly applicable, without extra notational or runtime overheads. The Palo Alto report, for example, uses this technique for total ordered types, all binary relations, and all binary operations.
These extended definitions are not available for variable concepts because the capability is based on function overloading. This is not a limitation imposed by concepts; you simply cannot overload variables in C++.
The syntactic requirements of a concept only tells us what expressions and associated types can be used with a template argument (or template arguments). In general, we would very much like to know what those expressions and types actually mean. Just as importantly, it would be helpful for the compiler and other tools to be able to reason about the meaning of such expressions in order to support optimization and verification. Unfortunately, the Concepts TS does not provide direct language support for writing semantic requirements. Instead, we must rely on conventional forms of documentation to specify the semantics of operations operations.
C++0x concepts supported a feature called 'axioms', but it was added late in the development of C++11 [N2887], and their utility had not been fully explored by the time concepts were removed. Axioms were also major feature of the Palo Alto report [N3351]. However, as the proposal for Concepts Lite evolved, the Concepts Study Group (SG8) decided to leave axioms out pending further exploration. There is ongoing research related to compile-time checking of semantic requirements [DosReis09], so we hope to see axioms in the future.
Concepts are fundamental building blocks for our thinking and for our code; they provide the foundation upon which we design and implement software. The Concepts TS provides direct language support for the specification of concepts and their syntactic requirements. However, we must not forget or downplay the importance of the semantic aspects of concepts. A concept without semantics is merely a snippet of code.
In the next article, I will discuss systems of concepts, and how overloading and specialization based on constraints can be used to select optimal algorithms at compile time.
The design of the features in the Concepts TS was the result of collaboration with Bjarne Stroustrup and Gabriel Dos Reis. That material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ACI-1148461. Bjarne Stroustrup also provided valuable feedback on drafts of this paper.
I would also like to acknowledge all of the early adopters of the GCC concepts implementation. Their feedback (often in the form of bug reports) has been invaluable.

All are strong communicators, capable of breaking down complex concepts with a focus on teaching the core skills you need to learn to perform well not just in your current course, but also in future mathematics courses or the quantitative sections of standardized tests you may need to take in the future.
At the same time, they recognize that you may be struggling to complete a math assignment that's due tomorrow or prepare for a near-term quiz or test, and so we balance core mathematics skill development with getting you through your current math class.
Of course, we have other math tutors available in New York, Minneapolis, Houston, and several other cities. We also offer online mathematics tutoring using a simple yet highly effective online tutoring system that produces a PDF of the notes from the electronic whiteboard after each session.

Hulu just launched a Watch Party feature to let you stream with friends
The timing honestly couldn't be better. Unfortunately, it only works for ad-free subscribers right now.

Hulu is testing a dedicated Watch Party service to allow subscribers to stream TV and movies with friends from afar, Variety reports. The streaming platform beat competitors like Netflix and Disney+ to the punch with its official in-house group-viewing solution; over the last few months, users have been turning to third-party services to achieve the same effect.
Now you really have no reason to ever leave your couch. via Hulu
Beginning today, Hulu subscribers will be able to create a chat room with a virtual screen that can be shared with up to eight viewers. There's just one catch: at launch the feature only works for Hulu's more expensive ad-free tier. You're out of luck if you want to pay less and also stream with friends. Viewers will also need to be 18 or older to join a Watch Party.
Stay-at-home measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic have made virtual watch parties more popular than ever, but until now it was necessary to use one of a variety of third-party apps to stream with friends. Hulu's quick release of the feature sets it a few steps ahead of its main competitor Netflix, which hasn't made any note of a similar feature in the pipeline.
How do you enable it? — The first version of Hulu's Watch Party feature is live now and can be accessed from the main Hulu website. Starting a viewing party takes just a few clicks.
On any titles supported in the rollout — of which Hulu says there are thousands — a small Watch Party icon will be displayed on the details page. Clicking that icon will generate a link that can then be shared with the rest of the party.
A slight twist — Hulu has taken the liberty of switching up one of the major features of most third-party group-streaming options. Rather than the streams being 100-percent synchronized, Hulu's Watch Party allows each user to play, pause, fast-forward, and rewind only their own playback. Don't worry too much about getting behind, though: Hulu will give you the option to catch up with the group after your bathroom break.
Smart move, Hulu — The streaming wars are crowded and mostly bleak in 2020. That means it's more important than ever for major players to distinguish themselves amongst the pack. Hulu's move to release a built-in Watch Party feature in the midst of a global pandemic shows the company can still be quick on its toes. Users deciding between streaming providers for their next watch party are likely to flock to Hulu as a first choice. It might even convince some ad-supported subscribers to upgrade to the ad-free tier so they can take part.
While Hulu isn't the first to hit play on this idea — Amazon's Prime Video can be streamed through Twitch, and HBO has a partnership with Screner for similar offerings — it's the first to be built into the service's main website, without any need for plugin downloads or external logins.
As this is Hulu's first testing period for the new feature, we'll likely see some bugs and user pushback. The choice to allow users to control only their individual playback is a new one, and it's going to take some time for users to grow comfortable with the interface.
Now all eyes will be on Netflix for the OG streaming giant to release a similar feature of its own. Choosing not to do so at this point would just be a bad business move.
