Q: How can I serialize anything without specifying type? I'm integrating with ZeroMQ and Akka to send case classes from different instances. Problem is that when I try to compile this code:
def persistRelay(relayEvent:String, relayData:Any) = {
    val relayData = ser.serialize(relayData).fold(throw _, identity)
    relayPubSocket ! ZMQMessage(Seq(Frame(relayEvent), Frame(relayData)))
  }

The Scala compilers throws back recursive value relayData needs type.
The case classes going in are all different and look like Team(users:List[Long], teamId:Long) and so on.
Is there a method to allow any type in the serializer or a workaround? I'd prefer to avoid writing a serializer for every single function creating the data unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks!

A: This isn't really a typing issue. The problem is:
val relayData = ser.serialize(relayData).fold(throw _, identity)

You're declaring a val relayData in the same line that you're making a reference to the method parameter relayData. The Scala compiler doesn't understand that you have/want two variables with the same name, and, instead, interprets it as a recursive definition of val relayData. Changing the name of one of those variables should fix the error.
Regardless, since you didn't quite follow what the Scala compiler was asking for, I think that it would also be good to fill you in on what it is that the compiler even wanted from you (even though it's advice that, if followed, probably would have just led to you getting yet another error that wouldn't seem to make a lot of sense, given the circumstances).
It said "recursive value relayData needs type".  The meaning of this is that it wanted you to simply specify the type of relayData by having
val relayData = ...

become something like
val relayData: Serializable = ...

(or, in place of Serializable, use whatever type it was that you wanted relayData to have)
It needs this information in order to create a recursive definition.  For instance, take the simple case of
val x = x + 1

This code is... bizarre, to say the least, but what I'm doing is defining x in a (shallowly) recursive way.  But there's a problem: how can the compiler know what type to use for the inner x?  It can't really determine the type through type inference, because type inference involves leveraging the type information of other definitions, and this definition requires x's type information.  Now, we might be able to infer that I'm probably talking about an Int, but, theoretically, x could be so many things!  In fact, here's the ambiguity in action:
val x: Int = x + 1 // Default value for an Int is '0'
x: Int = 1

val y: String = y + 1 // Default value for a String is 'null'
y: String = null1

All that really changed was the type annotation, but the results are drastically different–and this is only a very simple case!  So, yeah, to summarize all this... in most cases, when it's complaining about recursive values needing types, you should just have some empathy on the poor compiler and give it the type information that it so direly craves.  It would do the same for you, DeLongey!  It would do the same for you!


10) The question whether celebrity endorsers are liable for lapses of a manufacturer or service provider in India has been debated ever since Nestle's Maggi brand of instant noodles fell afoul of food testing authorities. Do you think, on ethical grounds, should celebrities endorsing such brands be punished by law? Critically comment.
9) Recently the government withdrew the excise and customs duty exemptions given to the Ordinance Factory Board and public sector undertakings (PSUs) in the defence sector. Examine why and explain the possible implications of this move.
8) It is argued that the steps taken so far, including the Black Money Bill, to bring back an estimated $1.5 trillion stashed abroad are completely ineffective. Critically discuss.
7) "India should move away from end-point control to risk-based inspection of all food products from farm-to-plate to ensure safety of every item, including raw ones consumed by people." Elaborate.
6) The United Kingdom, under the present government, wants to either exit the European Union (EU) or wants to get more autonomy from the EU. Why does UK wants to exit EU? Examine possible implications for India if this happens.
3) "British colonial influence on the Indian subcontinent was manifested in various settlement types, each of which was shaped by the circumstances of its origin and subsequent evolution." Discuss.
1) Despite the spread of education and awareness, in some parts of the country the practice of child marriage is rampant. Critically examine the social, cultural and economic reasons behind such practices.

This is what elected Libertarians can accomplish - standing for the rights of the people to make their own choices and always asking the question "Do we really need this ordinance? Do we really need to regulate this?"
Kudos to Councilman Grifoni of Marco Island in Collier County for being a voice of reason against an unnecessary moratorium on medical marijuana in his city.
Also, this is what elected Libertarians can accomplish - passionately defending government transparency and accountability and seeking to root out corruption. We don't want the public's money being spent at all, but if we must do so, we hold public servants accountable for using it with honor and integrity.
Kudos to Councilman Sullivan of Frostproof in Polk County for being a voice of government integrity in his city.
Karissa Gandee, an officer in one of our sister affiliates - the Libertarian Party of Citrus County - lays out the truth about Kratom and shows how this proposed ban (HB 183 and SB 434) is motivated by money, not by health or safety, and certainly not by liberty. Given the exception for FDA-approved uses, it effectively enables pharmaceutical companies to get a government monopoly over a natural substance that has a long history of use - not unlike marijuana.
Contact your Florida representative and senator and let them know to oppose this misguided ban!
Bad news Orange liberty lovers - While the red light camera ban did pass the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the companion Senate bill SB 178 was unexpectedly flatlined in the Florida Senate by the vote of two senators. Senators George Gainer (R-2) and Kevin Rader (D-29) voted to kill the ban in the Senate Transportation subcommittee in a 2-2 vote, derailing its forward progress in the Senate this year.
This is especially galling because the fifth committee member in favor of the ban was unable to attend due to health reasons, and Senator Gainer was supposed to be in favor and inexplicably voted no. His district is extremely rural north Florida covering Bay, Holmes, Jackson, Washington, Walton, and part of Okaloosa counties, which don't have enough traffic to even warrant the discussion. If you know anyone in his district or in Senator Rader's district covering parts of Broward and Palm Beach, make sure they're aware of their votes to prioritize rewarding companies with fines collected from citizens at the expense of public safety and the legal right to confront your accuser.
We had a great February monthly business meeting! We were honored to have Joseph Wendt, candidate for the Liberarian Party of Florida Vice-Chair, as our guest speaker. We also thank Randy Wiseman, Libertarian for Florida Governor, for his cameo appearance.
The bylaws amendment to define procedures for handling officer vacancies and special elections was authorized for a vote at our March 15th meeting. Voting members should review this proposal before the meeting - Proposed Bylaws Amendments 2017-02 Special Election.
We approved the creation of two committees to take direct action in promoting liberty in Orange County.
We congratulate Brian Ferris on his appointment as the first Chair of the Candidates Committee to evaluate local political races, seek out and support qualified candidates, and evaluate liberty-friendliness of elected officials.
For those of you that have ever been given a ticket by an unconstitutional computer program and red-light camera, HB 6007 which will repeal Red Light Cameras will be heard in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Wednesday, January 25th, 2017 at 1:00 PM.
This bill will improve traffic safety in Orange county by eliminating red light cameras, reducing collisions at intersections. Orlando, Apopka, Ocoee, and Winter Park are particularly notable for their excessive use of red light cameras.
Half of the fine goes to the state rather than the local government. A significant fraction of the remainder (over $3,000 per camera per month) is paid to an extremely well-connected private company ATS for maintenance and review - sometimes to the point of counties losing money! Why are we punishing Orange's working class to reward an Arizona company?
We ask that you call or email the committee members and ask them to pass this bill to the next stage as soon as possible.

Q: Simulate special key presses keyup events I'm using the keybd_event function and I'm having an issue with simulating certain keys. At the moment, the issue is namely the CONTROL button.
Here's some of my code for simulating the key down and key up events:
switch (record.keyMsg)
{
    //Key down event
    case "WM_KEYDOWN":
        keybd_event((byte)record.keyCode, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYDOWN, 0);
        Debug.WriteLine("Key down.");
        break;
    //Key up event
    case "WM_KEYUP":
        keybd_event((byte)record.keyCode, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
        Debug.WriteLine("Key up.");
        break;
}

Now, when the program simulates the CONTROL button, it seems that the button gets "stuck". I visited this site: http://javascript.info/tutorial/keyboard-events to see exactly what kind of events were actually being fired.
When I normally press the CONTROL button in the event watcher on that site, here's the output:
keydown    keyCode=17    which=17    charCode=0    char= +ctrl
keyup      keyCode=17    which=17    charCode=0    char=

But when my code simulates the CONTROL button, here's the output:
keydown    keyCode=17    which=17    charCode=0    char= +ctrl
keyup      keyCode=17    which=17    charCode=0    char= +ctrl

Furthermore, the same sort of problem happens with the SHIFT key. Using the same site mentioned before, when I manually type the SHIFT key, here's the output:
keydown    keyCode=16    which=16    charCode=0    char= +shift
keyup      keyCode=16    which=16    charCode=0    char=

Yet, when the program simulates this, here's the output:
keydown    keyCode=16    which=16    charCode=0    char= +shift

It isn't even doing the keyup event at this point.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I believe the culprit of the key being "stuck" is that keyup event, but I have no clue how I'm supposed to fix that. Anyone have any tips or clues?
EDIT: To elaborate on what I meant by "stuck: When the code simulates the CONTROL button, and then I try to type things into notepad, the computer believes that the CONTROL key is still being pressed. When I type s, it prompts to save in notepad, etc.. To fix this, I just press both left ctrl and right ctrl to fix this.

"We've got a good club," said Panther Creek coach Dan Hall, whose squad improved to 13-11 overall. "We are just in a conference that, if you are off your game, someone is going to take advantage of it.
The Catamounts surged ahead 5-0 after two frames, with only one of the markers being earned as the Wildcats (14-11) were victimized by a trio of costly errors.
With starting pitcher Garrett Russell cruising along, Panther Creek tacked on an insurance marker when sophomore Bryceson Hernandez led off the top of the fifth with a solo home run over the right-field fence.
The longball heroics from Hernandez put Panther Creek in what looked to be a comfortable position at 6-1, but West Johnston had other ideas, striking for a quartet of markers in the bottom of the sixth to chase Russell in favor of senior reliever Coleman Barnacascel.
Trevor Wilson had the biggest blast of the uprising with a two-run double with two outs, and he would advance to third on an attempted relay throw to home plate.
That would prove to be the end of the night for Russell, and Barnacascel entered and recorded a clutch strikeout to help the Catamounts maintain their slim one-run advantage.
West Johnston would have one more chance in the bottom of the seventh, and North Carolina A&T signee Tony Mack drew a leadoff walk before Barnacascel notched two strikeouts and a fly ball to end the proceedings.
Panther Creek is in the state playoffs for only the second time in the school's 10-year history. The other occasion came in 2014, when the Catamounts rolled all the way to the fourth round.
West Johnston had entered the postseason with some lofty expectations of its own, but the Wildcats were unable to continue their recent torrid run through the GNRC.
Still, the Wildcats claimed their fourth GNRC title in school history and went 12-2 in conference play before being derailed Tuesday by the Catamounts.


If you have been checking out my Instagram account over the past couple of weeks then you would have seen that Cape Town was an absolute blast. There were so many things to see and do that we simply couldn't do them all given the time we had. So it was a tossup between South Africa and Japan for this getaway. I am so happy I went to Cape Town again as Tokyo was at some point a strong favorite. I have not been to Japan before which made it a strong contender but, Cape Town pulled me right back and I am happy I went. Had a great time with friends and made new ones. What could be better eh?

Перелік білоруських мультфільмів прийнято вести з 1973 року. Адже роком народження білоруської анімації вважається 1971 рік, коли офіційно появилась анімаційна студія при кіностудії «Білорусьфільм».

More Georgia Racism: Snellville Business Owners Find 'No More N***er Businesses' Letters Pinned to Their Stores
Zack Linly
Screenshot: Shop owner Carl Sylvain (CBS 46)
I live in Stone Mountain, Ga., about a 20-minute drive out from Snellville, Ga., which is the scene of today's episode of "Damn, That's Racist."
According to CBS 46, several businesses in Snellville—where my black brother and his black wife, daughter and son currently reside—recently received letters from an anonymous, but likely white person who apparently wants to make white businesses great again by keeping establishments run by black people out of the city.
"To whom it may concern, we in the Snellville community want it to be known we don't want anymore [sic] nigger businesses in our community. We want gravity, celeb barbershop and boot camp gone. Too many nigger businesses... We will not support them."
Carl Sylvain, the black owner of Celeb Styles barbershop on Main Street in Snellville, received the letter and said to CBS reporters, "After receiving that letter, it really broke my heart because that's not who we are. We are a community-based barbershop. We are here for the people. We want to service all people. Everybody is welcome."
"That's not a reflection of the whole city of Snellville, that's just a reflection of one narrow-minded individual," Sylvain said, adding that in the short time his shop has been open, they've held charity events in the community. "We've been here for about eight months and within the first two months of being here we did a major charity event where we gave away 200 free haircuts, we gave away school supplies, we gave away 500 book bags."
The business owners have filed a police report, but right now there is not a lot of evidence to work with since those letters showed up in the mail.
I'm glad Sylvain is able to keep a positive outlook in the face of such blatant bigotry, but in the Trumpian-age of crazy, emboldened wypipo, I'm concerned that these letters could be the first step in a larger ploy to drive black businesses out of the city. It wouldn't be the first time racist messages escalated into racial violence.

\section{1.\;\;\;Introduction}
The accelerated expansion  of the universe which has revealed
from the observations of  type Ia supernova \cite{1}, is one of
the biggest problems that theoretical physics faces nowadays. The
equations of motion of $GR$ can not explain such an acceleration
by standard sources of matter and energy and the mechanism that
drives this observed expansion is yet unclear. In an attempt to
justify this puzzle, some certain modifications of classical
cosmology have been proposed. It should be noted that before the
this  some modifications had been applied to standard $GR$
too. For example the scalar-tensor theory of gravity had been
proposed for improving  $GR$ from the Mach principle's point of
view \cite{2}. However, the situation is different now and this
cosmic speed up may be a serious signal of a failure of $GR$. Some
authors fallow the idea that dark energy sources such as
cosmological constant or quintessence could be responsible for
this acceleration \cite{3,4,5,6,7,8}. On the other hand, there
exist some ideas that propose modification of the Hilbert-Einstein
Lagrangian arguing that there could be nonlinear terms of Ricci
scalar in the action. The theories constructed in this way are
known as $f(R)$ gravities. These theories propose a geometric
origin for cosmic speed up without any need for sources of
dark energy. For a given $f(R)$ Lagrangian , as the $GR$ case ,
there exist two ways for constructing the gravitational theory,
namely , metric and Palatini formalisms. But unlike the $GR$ case,
this two formalisms are not equivalent, the former leads to a
system of fourth-order partial differential equations for the
metric whereas the later leads to second-order equations. It has
been shown that many different $f(R)$ Lagrangians lead to correct
cosmic acceleration \cite{9,10,11}, on the other hand, there exist
some argumentations against Palatini $f(R)$
gravity \cite{12,13}. In \cite{12} author has discussed some aspects
of the violation of the equivalence principle in these theories
for nonlinear $f(R)$.

In this letter we consider the matter dominated universe in the
flat $FRW$ space-time, by using the Palatini formalism of $f(R)$
gravity and by following the so called Noether symmetry approach
\cite{14,15,16}. We look for $f(R)$ cosmological
models which are consistent with Noether symmetry. Metric $f(R)$ cosmology has been examined by this approach \cite{17} but the Palatini formalism hasn't been considered in the
literature yet. It is important to note that for applying the Noether symmetry approach,  we should make a point-like  lagrangian for the cosmological model. In the case of metric formalism, using the method of lagrange multipliers, the Ricci scalar and the cosmic scale factor can be considered as two independent dynamical variables and then by choosing a suitable lagrange multiplier, the cosmological lagrangian takes the point-like form. But in the case of Palatini formalism one cannot use this procedure.  Varying with respect to Ricci scalar leads to an inappropriate lagrange multiplier since the time derivatives of variables appear in the denominator of the lagrange multiplier.  So one cannot construct a canonical effective lagrangian. In this letter, in order to construct a point-like lagrangian,  we use the dynamical equivalence between Palatini $f(R)$ gravity and Brans-Dicke theory.

 The letter is organized as follows.  In Sect. 2, we search for Noether symmetries
 of the action which leads to  explicit forms for $f(R)$. Sect. 3 is
devoted to find out the exact solutions for cosmic scale factor
and the discussion of the various sub-cases.

\section{2.\;\;\;Noether symmetry approach}
Let us begin by introducing the action of the Palatini $f(R)$ theories
\begin{eqnarray}
S=\frac{1}{2k}\int
d^{4}x\sqrt{-g}f(\tilde{R})+S_{m}(g_{\mu\nu},\psi_{m})
\end{eqnarray}
Here $f(\tilde{R})$ is a function of $\tilde{R}=g^{\mu\nu}
R_{\mu\nu}(\tilde{\Gamma})$, where
$\tilde{\Gamma}^{\lambda}_{\mu\nu}$ is the connection. The matter
action $S_{m}$ depends on the matter fields $\psi_{m}$ and
$g_{\mu\nu}$. Varying Eq. (1) with respect to the metric we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
f'(\tilde{R})\tilde{R}-\frac{1}{2} f(\tilde{R})g_{\mu\nu}= k
T_{\mu\nu}
\end{eqnarray}
where $f'(\tilde{R})=df/d\tilde{R}$. The trace of Eq. (2) is
\begin{eqnarray}
f'(\tilde{R})\tilde{R}-2f(\tilde{R})=k T
\end{eqnarray}
and the variation of Eq. (1) with respect to connection gives
\begin{eqnarray}
\nabla_{\lambda}(\sqrt{-g}f'(\tilde{R})g^{\mu\nu})=0
\end{eqnarray}
so the connection is compatible with
$h_{\mu\nu}=f'(\tilde{R})g_{\mu\nu}$. Therefore we
obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\tilde{R}=R+\frac{3}{2f'(\tilde{R})}
\partial_{\lambda}f'(\tilde{R})\partial^{\lambda}f'(\tilde{R})-\frac{3}{f'(\tilde{R})}\square f'(\tilde{R})
\end{eqnarray}
where $R$ is Ricci scalar constructed from the Levi-Civita connection
of the metric $g_{\mu\nu}$. One can easily
verify that the action (1) is dynamically equivalent to
\begin{eqnarray}
S=\frac{1}{2k}\int d^{4}x \sqrt{-g}(\Phi R+\frac{3}{2\Phi}
\partial_{\mu}\Phi \partial^{\mu}\Phi -V(\Phi))+S_{m}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Phi=f'(\tilde{R})$ ,
$V(\Phi)=\chi(\Phi)\Phi-f(\chi(\Phi))$ and $\tilde{R}=\chi(\Phi)$
\cite{18}. This is the action of  Brans-Dicke theory with the
coupling parameter equal to $-\frac{3}{2}$. For matter dominated
cosmology, the matter Lagrangian can be chosen as
$L_{m}=-\rho_{m0}a^{-3}$ where $a$ is  the cosmic scale factor and
$\rho_{mo}$ is a suitable integration constant connected to
matter content.

Using the flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric, the scalar
curvature takes the form
$R=-6(\frac{\ddot{a}}{a}+\frac{\dot{a}^{2}}{a^{2}})$, where the
dot denotes the derivative with respect to time. In order to apply
the Noether symmetry approach, one can easily verify that, in a
$FRW$ manifold, the Lagrangian related to the action (6) takes the
point-like form
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}=12a^{2}\varphi \dot{\varphi}
\dot{a}+6\varphi^{2}\dot{a}^{2}a+6a^{3}\dot{\varphi}^{2}-V(\varphi)a^{3}-2k\rho_{m0}
\end{eqnarray}
in which we have used the redefinition $\Phi\equiv\varphi^{2}$. The equations of motion for $a$
and $\varphi$ are respectively
\begin{eqnarray}
\ddot{\varphi}+\varphi
(\dot{H}+H^{2})+2\dot{\varphi}H+\frac{1}{2}\varphi
H^{2}-\frac{\dot{\varphi}^{2}}{2\varphi}+\frac{V(\varphi)}{4\varphi}=0
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{eqnarray}
\ddot{\varphi}+\varphi (\dot{H}+H^{2})+3\dot{\varphi}H+\varphi
H^{2}=0
\end{eqnarray}
here $H$ is the Hubble parameter. Finally, as a result of general covariance, the energy function associated with the Lagrangian (7) vanishes, that is
\begin{eqnarray}
E_{{\cal L}}=2\dot{\varphi}H+\varphi
H^{2}+\frac{\dot{\varphi}^{2}}{\varphi}+\frac{V(\varphi)}{6\varphi}+\frac{2k\rho_{m0}}{\varphi
a^{3}}=0
\end{eqnarray}

Now, let us introduce the \textit{lift vector field X} \cite{19}
as an infinitesimal generator of the Noether symmetry in the
tangent space $TQ \{a,\dot{a},\varphi,\dot{\varphi}\}$ related to
the configuration space $Q\equiv\{a,\varphi\}$ as follows
\begin{eqnarray}
X=A\frac{\partial}{\partial a}+B\frac{\partial}{\partial
\varphi}+\dot{A}\frac{\partial}{\partial
\dot{a}}+\dot{B}\frac{\partial}{\partial \dot{\varphi}}
\end{eqnarray}
where $A$ and $B$ are unknown functions of the variables $a$ and
$\varphi$. The existence condition for the symmetry, $L_{X}{\cal
L}=0$, leads to the following system of partial differential equations
\begin{eqnarray}
2\varphi A+aB+\varphi^{2}\frac{\partial
A}{\partial\varphi}+a\varphi\frac{\partial A}{\partial
a}+a^{2}\frac{\partial B}{\partial a}+a\varphi\frac{\partial
B}{\partial \varphi}=0
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{eqnarray}
\varphi A+2aB+2a\varphi\frac{\partial A}{\partial
a}+2a^{2}\frac{\partial B}{\partial a}=0
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{eqnarray}
3A+2\varphi\frac{\partial A}{\partial\varphi}+2a\frac{\partial
B}{\partial\varphi}=0
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{eqnarray}
3a^{2}V(\varphi)A+B\frac{dV}{d\varphi}a^{3}=0
\end{eqnarray}
From Eq. (15) we have
\begin{eqnarray}
A=[-\frac{V'(\varphi)}{3V(\varphi)}]Ba
\end{eqnarray}
Substituting (16) into (13), we find that $A=f(\varphi)a^{n}$ and
$-V'/3V=\frac{-2n}{1+2n} \varphi^{-1}$, where $n$ is an
arbitrary number. By substituting these results in (14) we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
f(\varphi)=\beta \varphi^{n-1}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\beta$ is a constant.These results satisfy Eq. (12) for any arbitrary n. From Eqs. (16)
and (17) we have
\begin{eqnarray}
A=\beta a^{n}\varphi^{n-1}, B=-\frac{(2n+1)\beta}{2n}a^{n-1}\varphi^{n}
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{eqnarray}
V(\varphi)=\lambda
\varphi^{\frac{6n}{1+2n}}=\lambda\Phi^{\frac{3n}{1+2n}}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\lambda$ is a constant. In conclusion, the Noether symmetry
for the Lagrangian (7) exists and the vector field $X$ is
determined by (18) and (11). We can rewrite Eq. (19) as follows
\begin{eqnarray}
\tilde{R}f'(\tilde{R})-f(\tilde{R})=\lambda[f'(\tilde{R})]^{\frac{3n}{1+2n}}
\end{eqnarray}
and we can solve this equation for finding the form of
$f(\tilde{R})$. There exist two series of solutions for this
equation
\begin{eqnarray}
f(\tilde{R})=g(n)\tilde{R}^{\frac{3n}{n-1}}
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{eqnarray}
f(\tilde{R})=\alpha \tilde{R}-\lambda \alpha^{\frac{3n}{1+2n}}
\end{eqnarray}
where
$g(n)=[27n^{3}(\frac{\lambda}{2n+1})^{\frac{2n+1}{n}}]^{\frac{n}{1-n}}(n-1)$.
Solution (22) represents the Hilbert-Einstein action with cosmological
constant. For this action metric and Palatini formalisms coincide.
The existence of Noether symmetry means that there exists a
constant of motion. The constant of motion for Lagrangian (6),
$\Sigma$ , is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Sigma=A \frac{\partial {\cal L}}{\partial \dot{a}}+B
\frac{\partial {\cal L}}{\partial
\dot{\varphi}}=-\frac{6\beta}{n}a^{n+1}\varphi^{n}\frac{d(\varphi
a)}{dt}
\end{eqnarray}
\section{3.\;\;solutions}
\section{3.1\;\; Case\;1\;\;$f(\tilde{R})=g(n)\tilde{R}^{\frac{3n}{n-1}}$}
From Eq. (3) we have
\begin{eqnarray}
\tilde{R}f'(\tilde{R})-2f(\tilde{R})=-k\rho_{m0}a^{-3}
\end{eqnarray}
This equation can be regarded as an equation for $\tilde{R}$ in
terms of the cosmic scale factor, that is
\begin{eqnarray}
\tilde{R}=G(n)a^{\frac{1-n}{n}}
\end{eqnarray}
where $
G(n)=[\frac{k\rho_{m0}(1-n)}{g(n)(n+2)}]^{\frac{n-1}{3n}}$. In
this case the Noether constant is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Sigma=-\frac{3\beta}{2n^{2}}\gamma(n)^{\frac{n+1}{2}}(\dot{a}
a^{\frac{-(n+1)}{2n}})
\end{eqnarray}
in which:
\begin{eqnarray}
\gamma(n)=\frac{3g(n)n}{n-1}G(n)^{\frac{2n+1}{n-1}}
\end{eqnarray}
we can use Eq. (26) to find out the time dependence of the cosmic
scale factor, that is
\begin{eqnarray}
a(t)=(a_{0}+\sigma(n) t)^{\frac{2n}{n-1}}
\end{eqnarray}
where:
\begin{eqnarray}
\sigma(n)=\frac{-n^{2}\Sigma}{3\beta}\gamma(n)^{\frac{-(n+1)}{2}}
\end{eqnarray}
Now we want to consider that whether $a(t)$  obtained
from Noether symmetry, satisfies the field equation of Palatini
$f(\tilde{R})$ cosmology or not. The modified Friedmann equation
in Palatini $f(\tilde{R})$ is (\cite{20})
\begin{eqnarray}
(H+\frac{\dot{f'}}{2f'})^{2}=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{k(\rho+3p)+f}{f'})
\end{eqnarray}
where $\rho$ and $p$ are the energy density and the pressure of
the cosmic fluid respectively. Now by using Eqs. (25) and (30),
after putting $p=0$, we have
\begin{eqnarray}
\dot{a}^{2} a^{\frac{-(1+n)}{n}}=\eta(n)
\end{eqnarray}
where:
\begin{eqnarray}
\eta(n)=\frac{-2n^{2}k
\rho_{m0}}{3\gamma(n)}+\frac{2G(n)n(n-1)}{9}
\end{eqnarray}
so $a(t)$(Eq. (28)) satisfies Eq. (31) if
$\eta(n)=4\sigma(n)^{2}$. This equation can be considered as a
constraint for $\lambda$, $\beta$, $k$ and $n$, so $n$
can be an arbitrary value. Thus for any $n$ there exist Noether
symmetry and one can easily, by using the constraint equation ,
show that the Noether constant of motion is related to the
gravitational constant and matter content of the universe, that is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Sigma^{2} \sim
(c[k\rho_{m0}]^{\frac{2n^{2}+6n+1}{3n}}+d[k\rho_{m0}]^{\frac{2(n+2)}{3}})
\end{eqnarray}
where $c$ and $d$ are functions of $n$.

\section{3.2\;\; Case\;2\;\;$f(\tilde{R})=\alpha \tilde{R}-\lambda \alpha^{\frac{3n}{1+2n}}$}
If $\alpha=1$, then the action is the Hilbert-Einstein action with
cosmological constant $\Lambda=\lambda/2$. It is important to note
that in this case, metric and Palatini formalisms coincide. By
using Eq. (24) we have
\begin{eqnarray}
R=2\lambda+\frac{k\rho_{m0}}{a^{3}}
\end{eqnarray}
and the constant of motion is
\begin{eqnarray}
\Sigma=-\frac{6\beta}{n}(\dot{a}a^{n+1})
\end{eqnarray}
so the scale factor is
\begin{eqnarray}
a(t)=(a_{0}+\sigma(n)(n+2) t)^{\frac{1}{n+2}}
\end{eqnarray}
in which $\sigma(n)=\frac{-n\Sigma}{6\beta}$. For $n=-2$ we have
$a(t)=a_{0}e^{\delta t} $, where $\delta=\frac{\Sigma}{3\beta}$.
The modified Friedmann equation in this case is
$\dot{a}^{2}=\frac{\lambda}{6}a^{2}+\frac{k\rho_{m0}}{3a}$.
 The solution for a(t) which is obtained from Noether symmetry, Eq. (36), satisfies
 the generalized Friedmann equation only if $n=-1/2$, $\lambda=0$ and $\sigma^{2}=\frac{3}{4}k\rho_{m0}$. So in this case
 $a(t)=(a_{0}+\frac{\Sigma}{8\beta} t)^{2/3}$, which is the
 special case of Eq. (28) when $n=-1/2$. Also it is easy to verify that the Noether constant is
 related to gravitational constant and matter density of the
 universe, that is $\Sigma^{2} \sim k\rho_{m0}$.
\section{4.\;\;Concluding remarks}
In this letter , we have considered the Palatini $f(\tilde{R})$
cosmology by a general method. The approach is based on the seek
for Noether symmetry which allows to fix the form of
$f(\tilde{R})$ in a physically motivated manner. In order to
construct a point-like Lagrangian, we have used the dynamical
equivalence between $f(\tilde{R})$ gravity and Brans-Dicke theory, since in the framework of Palatini
$f(\tilde{R})$ gravity, one cannot fix the form of $f(\tilde{R})$ by using the Lagrange multipliers method \cite{17}.

We have shown that this symmetry always exist for $f(\tilde{R})\sim \tilde{R}^{n}$ and the
Noether constant is a function of the Newton's gravitational
constant and the current matter content of the universe. It is interesting to note that in the metric formalism,  the Noether symmetry exists for some limited forms of $f(R)$ such as $R+2\Lambda$, $R+\alpha R^{2}$ and $R^{3/2}$[16]  in the vaccum case.  We know that in vacuum,  Palatini $f(R)$ gravity is equivalent to $GR$ with cosmological constant, so for any arbitrary function of $R$, the Noether symmetry exists. On the other hand, in the matter dominated universe the Noether symmetry exists only for $f(R)\backsim R^{3/2}$  in the metric formalism[17] but in Palatini approach according to Eq. (21), our calculation shows that this symmetry exists considering any arbitrary power of $R$  in the lagrangian.

 A further point which has to be stressed is that Noether symmetry approach
don't allow $f(R)$ forms such as $f(R)=R+\epsilon \phi(R)$, which
have attracted many interest in the literature as the suitable
forms \cite{20,21}. However, this is a satisfactory result in the
sense of the results that have been obtained in \cite{12}, which
imply that any $f(R)$ in Palatini formalism, except linear one,
can violates the equivalence principle. It is also important to
mention that one cannot follow this approach in the metric-affine
formalism of $f(R)$ gravity, since there is no equivalence with
Brans-Dicke theories when the matter action depends on the
connection \cite{18}.\\

Years ago I had a job going around the country doing design reviews for many organizations. Over the years, I probably did 50 or more of these design reviews.
We looked at any and all reasons IT systems could be improved – everything from performance to development to operation of the systems to the cost of systems and much more. Everything was fair game in one of our reviews. At the end of the review, we tidied up our notes then sent a written report to management. Then it was on to the next review.
One of the phenomena that we saw over and over was that some organizations could make a given technology sit up and hum while an organization down the street could not make the same technology work to save their lives. In case after case, an organization would try to build systems in a technology, fail, and then go on to the next technology, where they would fail again. And at the same time, other organizations could make any technology work.
After seeing this phenomenon repeatedly, we came to the conclusion that it was not the strengths or weaknesses of the technology that meant success or failure. Rather, it was the organization that tried to use the technology that was the deciding factor in terms of success or failure.
Hands-on experience and control. In case after case, organizations that had a problem and then wanted to hire someone else to come in and solve the problem for them were the least successful. Organizations that had the attitude of "wake me when it is over" were simply asking for a failure. (Does anyone remember this nonsense: "With 4GL technology, we don't have to worry about coding because with 4GL coding we can do it fast.") In the cases where a consulting firm is brought in, a winning practice has always been to have a few employees embedded in the project at key places.
In a word, organizations that succeeded were the ones that were willing to grapple with problems on a firsthand basis, were willing to recognize problems as soon as they arose, and were willing to use common sense. That was true in the past, and it's still true today.
It is a good bet that the organizations that are not succeeding with today's technology will be the same ones that will struggle with tomorrow's technology. Simply changing technologies changes nothing.

Tim Tadder, Founder & CEO, Tim Tadder Photography joins Executive Growth to discuss while he fell in love with image-making as a teen in his father's darkroom, it was something he learned playing college football that really propelled his career. Hard work yields amazing results – as in the harder he worked towards his goals the more amazing the accomplishments. It's a simple mantra, the harder he works, the luckier he got. As a father, it's something that he is diligently passing on to his two daughters. Watching them learn that accomplishing anything worthwhile takes commitment, sacrifice and focus; inspires him to keep pushing towards his goals. Twenty years ago he left behind a career as a high school teacher and football coach, to follow a dream of being a photographer. He truly started at the bottom, freelancing for community newspapers, then as a photojournalist, and ultimately collaborating on campaigns for the worlds most iconic consumer brands. Each step up is a reward for the countless hours sacrifice put towards his goals. It is said that "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" and nothing could be more true. Now with each triple bid, he knows he is competing with amazing talents. Though he believes that to be distinctive, inspiring and innovative, requires that he put every ounce of energy into the projects awarded to their team. He draws upon his experiences as a teacher and a team player to plan better, problem solve smarter and push himself, the talent and crew to deliver the very best performances possible. Success is the cumulative effort of all the little things along the way that make the work great. He is still climbing, scratching and clawing his way towards being his very best. He still approaches every opportunity to make images both moving and still with the same passion as his very first assignment. The craft of creating is never lost on him. Today he is the best version of himself – he's evolved into a producer, director, writer and photographer, a true visual communicator. He is leveraging all the lessons he learned to make shrewder choices, be more efficient, and amplify his effectiveness to communicate.

Q: exponent problem solving I came across a problem; $a^x=b^y=c^z$ and $b^2=ac$. It is required to show $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{z}=\frac{2}{y}$. I have tried the following steps-
\begin{equation*}
b^2=ac \\
b=\sqrt{ac} \\
b=a^{1/2}\ast c^{1/2}
\end{equation*}
So
\begin{equation*}
a^x=a^{1/2}\ast c^{1/2} \\
c^z=a^{1/2}\ast c^{1/2}
\end{equation*}
After that I tried to find the value of $x$ and $z$ but I could not solve it this way. Can anyone please show me how I can solve this?

A: Taking logarithms, we get
$$ x\log a = y \log b = z \log c $$
and $$ 2 \log b = \log a + \log c $$
Hence
\begin{align*}
  \frac 2y &= \frac{2\log b}{y \log b}\\
           &= \frac{\log a}{y\log b} + \frac{\log c}{y \log b}\\
           &= \frac{\log a}{x \log a} + \frac{\log c}{z \log c}\\
           &= \frac 1x + \frac 1z
\end{align*}

A: Let $a^x=b^y=c^z=k\implies a=k^{1/x}$ etc.
$$\displaystyle b^2=ca\implies(k^{1/y})^2=k^{1/x}\cdot k^{1/z}$$
$$\displaystyle\implies k^{\frac2y}=k^{\frac1x+\frac1z} $$
Assuming $k\ne0,1,$
$$ \dfrac2y=\dfrac1x+\dfrac1z$$

Koepka: "Nobody Has Hit It Better Than Me This Week"
Elliott Heath
The World Number One has been disappointed with his putting at Portrush
Brooks Koepka spurned chance after chance on Saturday at the Open Championship to go from three back starting the round to seven back by the end of the day.
The World Numer One constantly gave himself birdie chances but struggled to make a thing in round three as he shot 67 (-4).
The American made six birdies but could have easily made 10 if some more putts had dropped, and his birdie-birdie finish gave his score a huge boost ahead of the final round.
Koepka told the press after his 67 that nobody is hitting it better than him but he is disappointed with his putting.
"Yeah, nobody has hit it better than me this week. I've hit it as good as I could possibly imagine," he said.
"I putted the worst in the entire field, if you look at strokes gained. I don't know if they have that. It's been really bad. Very frustrating. Disappointed."

Koepka believes that the adverse conditions will help him in the final round which he enters seven behind Shane Lowry.
"But thankfully it's going to blow tomorrow to have any sort of chance. I need to figure out the putter.
"I've struck it so good. If it's going to be windy, you need to be able to strike it good, control your flight, and figure out where you want the ball to end up. If it's going to blow 30, it can get out of control very quickly.
"I think there's some weeks where you just don't make anything. They feel like good putts when they come off the blade. But they're burning the edge. That's the only thing I can say. They feel like good putts.
"I'm about to go do a whole bunch of work on that putting green and see if I can somehow confidence, somehow find anything."
The 29-year-old has won four Majors over the past two years and has finished T2nd, 1st, 2nd in the first three so far this year.
He begins Sunday's final round in T4th so even if he doesn't win, he has had a phenomenal season.

It is hard to go wrong with a Callaway golf club as they have been making them for long enough to understand what different players are looking for in any of their clubs. Their irons are some of the most popular and the Callaway Golf Men's Rogue X is one of these popular Callaway irons. It is a well-built individual club that makes use of different technologies to generate great ball speeds and distances.
It is hard to go wrong with a Callaway golf club as they have been making them for long enough to understand what different players are looking for in any of their clubs. Their irons are some of the most popular and the Callaway Golf Men's Rogue X is one of these popular Callaway irons. It is a well-built individual club that makes use of different technologies to generate great ball speeds and distances. These technologies include 360 Face Cup and VFT, Internal Standing Wave, Urethane Microspheres and Tungsten Weighting. And golfers will also have the option to go either for steel or graphite shafts.
360 Face Cup: 360 face cup is a common feature of most Callaway irons and few of their other clubs. It is designed to increase ball speeds by making use of a shallow and flexible rim around the clubface's perimeter. And for this iron, it combines with Variable Face Thickness which is a technology that influences how the face flexes for greater ball speeds even when you make off-center hits. With these two technologies, you will always get greater speeds and distances.
Internal Standing Wave: The internal standing wave is another impressive technology also found on most Callaway irons and it is meant to provide optimal ball flight and easy control.
Urethane Microspheres: This iron uses elastic urethane microspheres to ensure that you get the great feel and confidence-boosting sound that comes with urethane but without having to compromise the ball speeds or the COR.
Tungsten Weighting: Also for optimal control and ball flight and it helps by allowing for the placement of COG with high precision. This stems from the fact that tungsten is heavier than steel, and so it makes it possible to concentrate more weight in a small space for a precise center of gravity location placement.
Shaft: For the shaft, Callaway provides both steel and graphite options to suit different players' tastes and it is available in the three main flex options.
There are many factors to watch out for when buying an iron, but one of the best ways to ensure that you get something high-quality is by buying from a top brand like Callaway. The design and performance of the Rogue X explain why the brand is trusted by thousands of golfers across the world.
It is a sleek-looking club that makes use of different technologies to generate fast ball speeds across the face and ensure you get the best launch. Also, Callaway keeps its weight down and makes it longer to ensure golfers have an easy time swinging it.
If you also factor in the more precise center of gravity placement and the highly durable multi-material construction, you will see that this is a top-notch quality golf club. Even with the few complaints from some buyers such as the iron still not being light enough for high handicappers and the grip needing some improvement, this is still a great club worth trying out.

Reading came from behind to secure a scrappy point in a 1-1 draw with Blackpool on a bobbly Bloomfield Road pitch this evening.
The Royals had reaped the rewards of an early goal at home the previous weekend, but within the first five minutes they were behind at Blackpool. Zat Knight was penalised for a tug on the shirt of Gary Madine inside the box and Jamie O'Hara arrowed home from the spot.
A double change at the break had an immediate impact as Pavel Pogrebnyak embarked on a fantastic run down the left that led to a cut back to Yakubu whose shot eventually ricocheted in off Blackpool defender Grant Hall to make it 1-1.
Reading dominated the second half but couldn't find a winner, Pogrebnyak heading wide from close range and Mackie having a drive palmed wide by Joe Lewis. The point takes Steve Clarke's men ten points clear of the drop zone, with six league games left to play.
Blackpool: Lewis (Parish 73), Hall (Maher 49), Clarke (c), O'Dea, Dunne, O'Hara, Perkins, Cubero, Orlandi (Osayi-Samuel 78), Jacobs, Madine.
Subs: Ferguson, Oliver, Telford, Delfouneso.
Reading: Federici, Gunter, Obita, Pearce (c), Knight, Norwood, Ake, McCleary (Mackie HT), Robson-Kanu, Appiah (Pogrebnyak HT), Yakubu (Cox 78).
At the weekend, Reading scored after four minutes. After five minutes of the match this evening, Blackpool took the lead.
Zat Knight's backward header wasn't going to reach Adam Federici and the centre-half was penalised for a pull on the shirt of Gary Madine who had nipped onto the loose ball and was bearing down on goal. Referee Geoff Eltringham pointed to the spot and Jamie O'Hara made no mistake with his penalty.
Reading went on the offensive, crosses coming into the Blackpool box from the boots of McCleary, Yakubu and Gunter but Blackpool had an effort from the edge of the area well blocked as they played with a new-found freedom in search of a second.
An aerial ball forward from Ake found the chest of Appiah but the striker couldn't bring it down to get a shot away, then with 20 minutes played Michael Jacobs cut inside from the left and saw a right-footed shot blocked by the body of Knight.
Blackpool broke through David Perkins moments later, and had three on two, but Gunter did well to stop Perkins in his tracks before he could find a pass to players either side of him.
An excellent clearance from Norwood was enough to see off a dangerous O'Hara free kick under pressure at the far post, while McCleary's low driven cross at the other end was hacked clear of a crowded area.
Good work from Appiah on the left saw him win the ball and swing a ball back for McCleary who teed up Norwood on the edge of the box. His first shot was mis-hit, but the ball cannoned back to him and with the outside of his boot he arrowed over the bar with a second bite at the cherry.
Jacobs came close to making it 2-0 with a powerful shot from just outside the box that beat the dive of Federici but rippled the wide netting to the Royals' relief.
On the stroke of half-time, Reading almost levelled. Obita hooked a low cross into Yakubu who controlled the ball well and stabbed an effort goalwards only for Joe Lewis to cling onto it.
Pavel Pogrebnyak and Jamie Mackie replaced Appiah and McCleary at the interval and the change made an impact that couldn't have been more immediate. Within 30 seconds of the restart, Reading drew level.
Pogrebnyak turned his man, scampered down the left, got to the byline and toed a cross into the near post where Yakubu met it. It struck a Blackpool defender on the line, cannoned into Grant Hall and flew into the back of the net to see Steve Clarke's side restore parity.
Hall had to be withdrawn through injury after the equaliser, then Reading's other change Jamie Mackie forced Lewis into a good save, pulling the trigger from the edge of the area only for the Blackpool stopper to palm it away with a leap to his left.
Perkins curled a left-footed effort inches wide of the bottom left corner at the other end, but Reading were in the ascendancy and Pogrebnyak had a left-footed shot charged down inside the Blackpool box on the hour.
With ten minutes left on the clock a floated free kick found the head of Pearce, but the skipper couldn't direct his header back across the face of goal and instead it looped onto the roof of substitute goalkeeper Ell Parish's goal net.
Knight rose above his man to get a head to Norwood's late corner but the ball sailed over the bar, then at the other end Knight and Federici collided in trying to clear a good cross from the right. Federici recovered to mop up the loose ball before a Blackpool man could pounce.
Eight minutes of injury time were signalled and Mackie almost got on the end of an Ake throughball having sprung the Blackpool offside trap. Parish was on the edge of this area to hack it clear though.
Then Pogrebnyak nodded just wide after Knight had headed a free kick back into the middle from the back post, the Russian unable to find the target with his instinctive header on towards goal.

Anthony Bourdain's Last Interview: What He Said About Girlfriend Asia Argento

It's been over a month since Anthony Bourdain's shocking death and now one of his final interviews has been published online which gives a glimpse into his relationship with girlfriend Asia Argento.
The interview was originally conducted by Popula in February, however, it was not released until July 15.
"The worst thing Asia ever said to me, she'd had a bad day, she was doing a play in uh, Turin? Somewhere in Italy," the celebrity chef recalled. "And she was rehearsing and she'd had a really bad day with the director. Dude, of course. And she comes home and she's f**king furious. And we're texting back and forth, cause we only argue by text. She's like, f**king angry. 'F**k you too! You always wanna win! You always win!'"
Bourdain admitted that her words affected him. "I was really offended by this. I was so hurt by this," he said. "I do not need to win. I am not a competitive person. I need to survive."
The 61-year-old and Argento began dating in early 2017 after the two met on his CNN show Parts Unknown. The actress was one of the first women to publicly accuse former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of rape. Following Bourdain's death, she released a statement via social media which read, "Anthony gave all of himself in everything that he did. His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds. He was my love, my rock, my protector. I am beyond devastated."

Fans turned on Argento though after it was revealed that she was photographed with another man just days before Bourdain committed suicide. She was then targeted by internet trolls who accused her of using the #MeToo Movement to further her career and blamed her for the late chef's death. Argento insisted that she never knew about Bourdain's suicide "obsession."
On July 12, several celebrities including Rose McGowan, Terry Crews, Olivia Munn, and others involved in the #MeToo Movement wrote an open letter defending the Italian star.
"We are here to ask those who are angry and grieving the loss of Anthony to find a healthy outlet for their pain," the letter published by the Los Angeles Times read. "Asia is a survivor, just as we are, and her fame and outward show of strength does not make her any less vulnerable. Asia is not a headline — she is a human being, and she is in horrific pain … Our request for Asia is a request for any and all survivors. Our standing up for her is standing up to any and all bullies. We implore you to be kind to each other, to believe survivors, to stand up for survivors, to encourage, support and sympathize with them. We ask you to stand with us, as we stand with Asia."
Bourdain was found unresponsive in a French hotel room on June 8 while filming Parts Unknown by his friend and fellow chef Eric Ripert. His cause of death was ruled a suicide by hanging.

Home News Neighbourhood watch award nominations
Neighbourhood watch award nominations
The Devils Peak Vredehoek neighbourhood watch held its annual general meeting last week.
The City of Cape Town has opened the nominations process for the annual Neighbourhood Watch Awards.
Now in its second year, the Neighbourhood Watch Awards celebrates and acknowledges the achievements and contributions of individuals and groups who help build safer communities.
The nomination process will close on Friday March 8.
Nominations can be submitted for an individual or a group/team.
Mayoral committee member for safety and security, JP Smith, said: "There are thousands of neighbourhood watch members who put in the hard yards to keep their families and communities safe. It is an often thankless task, particularly in areas where serious and violent crime prevails. But they persevere, for the greater good. These awards are but a token of our appreciation for all that they do. Without their contribution our public safety efforts would be far less effective."

Disclosure; This is not a sponsored post. I did receive product sample to facilitate my review however the opinions here are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
The more I read about the obscene amount of chemicals used in growing cotton, the more I value organic fibers. I was drawn to BabyKicks certified organic products because I know these fibers haven't been hosed with pesticides, herbicides and other scary things. I'm cloth diapering to avoid using chemicals on my children, any additional help I can get from cloth companies is great! So let's get to it. Are you familiar with BabyKicks? Family owned and operated out of Maryland, the company is dedicated to using high quality organic fibers. This newborn fitted is made from "50% certified organic cotton for softness, 33% natural hemp for absorbency and durability, and 17% polyester for stretch." The insert is hemp/cotton and the prefold (sold separately) are hemp fleece and certified organic cotton. This combination makes the inserts super absorbent and gives the shell great mold-ability and superb fit around baby.
My newborn has been using this diaper for 2 weeks. He was born over 9 lbs and is a heavy wetter and breastfed. First, I tried this diaper with just the insert it comes with. I had to change it in under 15m with it completely saturated…including his entire outfit (crunchy Mom fail). Next, I tried stuffing the diaper with the hemp fleece/cotton prefold plus the insert and found that it was way too bulky. I had to take it off and switch to prefold only because his little legs were splayed (cruncy Mom fail number 2). For us, this diaper performs the best for us when stuffed with a newborn prefold (I have Grovia NBs which on their own aren't absorbent enough for my NB) and the insert this diaper comes with, or just the hemp fleece/cotton BabyKicks prefold either in the pocket or on top of the opening using this as a cover. These combinations are one of my favorite and I look forward to this coming out of the wash to be used again. My NB can go about 1.5 hours with these combinations which is fantastic for us considering the fact that he quickly saturates most other options we've tried. We probably should have gone right to the one-size BabyKicks to handle his liquid output, but the diaper has contained EBF poo well and I love the fit.
apers put pressure on his umbilical stump and I was racing to wash our NB stash to allow for cord healing. As you can see, this diaper sits well below his belly button and allows for great air flow around it. While it doesn't have a newborn snap-down for the stump, it sits low enough that we haven't needed it.
BabyKicks also makes other products including a OS fitted diaper, PUL diapers, cloth wipes, receiving blankets, burp cloths, Joey Bunz inserts and doublers, prefolds and nursing pads. Make sure to visit the BabyKicks website to see their full line of products and visit BabyKicks on facebook for updates and articles. Where can you purchase these diapers? I've had a hard time finding the newborn fitted seen here for sale. When I search for it I'm often taken to the One Size fitted. The best place to purchase them is from their website, although the largest assortment of their products from another retailer appears to be on Amazon (I'm a Prime member and love the free 2-day shipping!). BabyKicks is also carried by Nicki's Diapers and Diaper Junction (my favorite cloth retailers, but in a smaller selections then Amazon).


The state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has favourable conditions for the operation of local and long-distance energy networks on the basis of power-heat coupling. If facilities were constructed to provide full geographic coverage, it has been estimated that 30,000 new jobs would be created for the following 15 years. By comparison, in 1996 hard coal mining employs 90,000 people, and by the year 2005 the number will fall to 45,000. The time scale would enable structural change in the old mining regions to be carried out in a socially and regionally acceptable manner. (The Environment Ministry also states that this will produce an increase in energy efficiency of 40% and a reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 40%.). A general energy revolution, involving the comprehensive development and operation of regenerative energy supplies, is forecasted to provide a net employment effect of 90,000 to 125,000 permanent jobs over a period of 15 to 20 years.


All the Best jumps back into the fray — and this time the fight takes place in hearts and minds, in beds and cancer wards. A share house turns into a battleground when an army of bed bugs invades, and two lovers face themselves and each other when multiple sclerosis and cancer enter their lives.
In the inner-city Sydney suburb of Newtown, share houses are filled with second (and third, and fourth)-hand furniture of questionable origin. One of these pieces found its way into the home of Heidi Pett, like a Trojan horse. Inside, an army of microscopic beasts was waiting.

Initially, I used this activity with 7th – 9th graders; I wondered how they would respond and was delighted to find them eager participants. I watched to see which students were choosing the same paintings because even though one might not share directly, he/she might participate in the discussion of the painting being shared by a classmate. I also watched to see how people were progressing, and reminded students that we would be coming together in a few minutes. For any who finished quickly, I suggested looking quietly at other paintings in the gallery. When we reconvene, I ask if anyone would like to begin. There are always students who do. This initial participation leads to further discussions and others revealing their thoughts.
A number of my fellow docents have used this activity and it was equally successful for 4lh graders through seniors in high school. Responses varied from thoughtful to funny, but in each case contributed to the tour.

Q: Фильтрация вложенного списка, функциональное программирование Как мне отфильтровать вложенный лист list_even_odd, так чтобы для входного списка списков получить список нечётных по порядку списков (первый, третий и так далее), оставив в каждом только нечётные по порядку элементы. Например, для из списка [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]] должен получиться список [[1, 3], [7, 9]].
list_even_odd = [
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    ['c', 'a', 't'],
    ['d', 'o', 'g'],
    [100, 200, 300, 400],
    [True, False],
    [],
    [],
]

# не подходит надо по индексу а не по значению иначе пропускает []
list_even = filter(lambda index: list_even_odd.index(index) % 2 == 0, list_even_odd.copy())
list_filter_even = list(map(lambda x: list(filter(lambda item: x.index(item) % 2 == 0, x)), list_even))

A: Вариант с for
leo = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]] #входные данные
lod = [i[::2] for i in leo[::2]] #берём только нечётные вложенные списки, а в них оставляем только нечётные списки
print(lod)

Тоже самое с map(применяет функцию ко всем элементам списка, возвращает итерируемый объект, не список, по этому тип надо сменить на список, как сделал я) и анонимной функцией, о которой говорил автор в комментариях
leo = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]] #входные данные
lod = list(map(lambda lt: lt[::2], leo[::2])) #берём только нечётные вложенные списки и применяем к ним функцию которая оставляет только нечётные элементы, после этого приводим тип объекта к list
print(lod)

Комбо – for и lambda (не рекомендуется использовать, однако упомянуть думаю будет не лишним):
leo = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]] #входные данные
f = lambda lt: lt[::2]
lod = [f(i) for i in leo[::2]] #проходимся по нечётным вложенным спискам, применяя к ним функцию, которая оставлять только нечётные элементы
print(lod)


As a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner I often give people some dietary and lifestyle advice as an adjunct to their treatment. It gives the patient the opportunity to take some responsibility of their health and also greatly enhances the good work we are doing with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Diet and lifestyle factors have a big impact on the state of our health and wellbeing (along with constitution, emotions, environmental factors etc) and can contribute too many of our imbalances and diseases. One of the most common dietary changes I encourage people to make is to avoid/reduce refined & processed sugar or artificial/synthetic sweeteners and to only choose natural whole sweeteners. Below I will have a look at why sugar is so bad (I would go so far as to say evil) for the body and give you some better sweet options.
Commercial sugar as we know it comes in many forms with varying degrees of processing and refining. Basically sugar comes from the sugar cane; the cane juice is stripped of its molasses content (the dark rich part which is full of vitamins, minerals and is extremely high in iron), then heated at extreme temperatures which kills the enzymes and everything that's good about it. That is what is called raw sugar. The processing continues from there with more refining with chemicals such as sulphur dioxide, lime, phosphoric acid, bleaching agents & viscosity reducers to get white sugar and then more processing to get castor sugar and then more again for icing sugar. Brown, turbinado or demerara sugar is simply refined, processed sugar with some of the original molasses added back into it (unfortunately, still bad for you). When natural sugar is refined and concentrated, the life force is dispersed and the natural balance upset.
Refined sugar is an evil poison that creates havoc in the body. Only during the last century has man's diet included a high percentage of refined carbohydrates (sugars and flours). The amount the average westernised person consumes per day is astonishing. You only have to take a look into any supermarket aisle to get a good idea-it's in everything. In nature, sugars and carbohydrates (the energy providers) are coupled with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein, fat and fibre and support life due to its body building and digestion enhancing components. Digestion of refined sugar (along with refined flour) is detrimental to life because it draws on the body's own store of vitamins, minerals and enzymes for proper metabolism. Slowly and slowly you are robed of your good health.
Sugar heats the body up, suppresses the immune system, interferes with and lowers absorption of vitamins and minerals (especially calcium, magnesium & vitamin E), destroys fertility and feeds cancer cells and Candida. Sugar is one of the biggest contributors to all of our modern dis–eases. Coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, weight gain and obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis etc have a direct link to sugar consumption. Sugar creates mood swings, hyperactivity, poor concentration and ADHD in children as well as allergies and eczema. Sugar damages the internal organs and can cause hormonal imbalance, periodontal disease, tooth decay and premature aging. Once refined, sugar is no longer a food- it becomes a highly addictive drug.
"The difference between sugar addiction and narcotic addiction is largely one of degree." William Dufty, Sugar Blues.
Natural sweeteners may be defined as a product that comes from nature that hasn't been altered terribly and which the nutrients have not been removed, or the nutrients may be even more concentrated due to boiling down and evaporation. Therefore, if you are going to consume a sweetener, it is best if it comes from the fruit, herb, or vegetable kingdom and be as raw/living as possible (not overheated, and not overly processed) for optimum health.
Rapadura sugar (Gur in India), is unrefined dried cane juice which is made by simply evaporating the water from the whole sugar cane juice. This whole sugar is actually highly mineralised and nutrient dense and has a balanced reaction in the body. It has a gorgeous golden colour and a unique caramel flavour. It is the perfect product for baking and the sweetening of food and drinks. Simply substitute 1 cup of rapadura for 1 cup of other sugars (e.g. white/raw/brown) in any recipe. You can buy it from most health food stores.
Raw Honey has many amazing health benefits. When it has not been heated it is loaded with amylases, nutrients and enzymes that digest carbohydrates. So it is also best to only use it in desserts that do not require heating.
The concentrated sap of huge deciduous trees, maple syrup is rich in trace minerals, brought up from below the ground by the tree's deep roots. It imparts a wonderful flavour to cream based desserts and may be used in baked goods such as muffins and pancakes. Make sure you buy the real maple syrup (it is quite expensive) and not the common one as it is only flavoured sugar with a plethora or other nasties.
Stevia is a highly sweet herb derived from the leaf of the South American stevia plant and can be used by those who have sensitivity even to natural sweeteners. A little goes a very long way- a pinch of stevia is equal to a spoonful of sugar. As it does not add bulk, it is difficult to use successfully in baked goods; but is a good sweetener for salad dressings, whipped cream and pie crusts etc.
Other sweeteners that may also be used in moderation include coconut palm sugar, date sugar, molasses, malted grain syrups, sorghum syrup. Please avoid all other imitation sweeteners, including Agave (way to processed and high in fructose to be good for you)-so make sure you do your homework before you buy.
There are plenty of sweet foods in nature and when you get yourself off the sugar addiction you will be amazed at how sweet fruit, vegetables and grains actually are. Sweeteners (natural) can be kept to a minimum and only used on holidays or special occasions. According to Chinese medicine, long as we balance the sweet taste with the other four (sour, bitter, salty and pungent), we will maintain good health!
