Exclusive: Alibaba Eyes $10 Billion Hong Kong Listing

E-commerce juggernaut Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. plans to raise $10 billion through a second listing in Hong Kong, a source close to the deal told Caixin, in what could become the market's largest new offering in almost a decade.
A float of that size would mean around 2.3% of the company's shares will be available, based on the company's current valuation of around $430 billion. Alibaba did not respond to Caixin's request for confirmation of the listing and its scope. Rumors of the deal have circulated for months, although earlier reports put the fundraising target higher at $20 billion.
The deal is being underwritten by Credit Suisse Group AG and China International Capital Corp. (CICC), China's oldest investment bank, sources previously told Caixin.
Such a listing would mark a major victory for Hong Kong, which lost out to New York to host Alibaba's blockbuster $25 billion initial public offering (IPO) in 2014. A second listing could help Alibaba bolster its already sizable cash reserves, while also making its shares more accessible to investors in its home market on the Chinese mainland, analysts said.
Alibaba has no shortage of cash, with about $29 billion at the end of March according to its latest earnings report. The company reported revenue of 377 billion yuan ($55 billion) in its last fiscal year, up 51% on a year earlier, and a net profit of 86.7 billion yuan, up 37%.
"The second listing is as much about accumulating dry powder for a potential China downturn as it is about diversifying any risk of U.S. authorities imposing stricter reporting requirements for Chinese companies," said Tony Nash, founder of market forecasting firm Complete Intelligence.
Proceeds from the new float are expected to provide a liquidity boost and reduce its financing costs, as it looks for new engines of growth to offset any potential slowdown in its core e-commerce business from a cooling economy, and as it aggressively expands its brick-and-mortar supermarket chain Hema.
The move may also help Chinese mainland investors gain a slice of Alibaba through the Stock Connect Program, which allows mainland investors to trade Hong Kong-listed shares, said one analyst who follows China internet stocks at a boutique brokerage in Hong Kong.
"I kind of see it as a 'who cares' story," he said. "If you want to buy the stock … you buy in New York. Maybe there will be some demand from large investors who have to hold the name and manage Hong Kong dollar funds in this time zone, but I don't really see this as a game changer."
Hong Kong's bourse looked on in envy in 2014 when the tech giant listed in New York, raising $25 billion in what became the largest IPO in history. At that time, Hong Kong's board did not accept companies with Alibaba's "Weighted Voting Rights" structure, which gives founding partners greater control over the company than shareholders. Hong Kong has since amended the rules, with Charles Li, the chief executive of Hong Kong's exchange, saying in March that he would welcome Alibaba "to come home and settle down."
Analysts have said the Hong Kong listing would also represent a political win for China, which has sought to attract its major tech companies listed abroad to list at home as well. Last year, regulators in Beijing proposed a pilot program to allow trading in Chinese depositary receipts (CDRs) to entice tech giants to float shares at home. But that plan was ultimately scrapped during a period of high volatility for Chinese stocks.
Alibaba could also be pursuing the IPO as a hedging strategy in the event of greater trade tensions and increased scrutiny over Chinese tech firms listed in New York, Nash said.
Earlier this month, the company proposed an 8-for-1 stock split, aiming to attract more price sensitive, smaller scale investors who might be put off by its current New York share price of about $169.
If Alibaba completes the deal as planned, the $10 billion raised will constitute Hong Kong's biggest listing since insurer AIA Group Ltd. raised $17.8 billion in 2010.

What is a complier??
Thread: What is a complier??

hello, i'm currently studying a reseach project on microcomputers, I'm am struggling to come up with a rigid detailed definiton of a complier, i know it is a specific type of program that translates code into machine language (ie binary numbers.) and is needed to make a working program.
Would anyone have a knowledge of C++ and or the workings of compliers??
Cheers, Ian

Well, yah, Ian . . .but it would take up too much bandwidth to go into here. And, I don't have the time as the salmon are running. Perhaps you have some specific questions. You might want to go to www.borland.com or pick up Borland's latest compiler (still just about giving them away with academic licenses) and start thrashing away like everyone else.
Briefly, a compiler translates program code written in a high level programming language such as C or C++ (source program) into a low level language, either assembly language or even the machine language of a particular processor (object program.) This translation consists of three steps – scanning, parsing and code generation.
Next question please.

A compiler is something that takes source code and (for lack of a better term) crunches it into an executable file (the programs you use everyday, as opposed to things like MS Word documents).
C is probably the most popular programming language out there. It's available on every kind of computing platform and it's (relatively) easy to port it to other platforms. (Example: You write a program for Windows. But you want that same program to run on Linux. You have to make changes to get it run on Linux.)
Wikipedia is a good source for computer related stuff, as half the editors there are geeks of one stripe or another.

C is the most popular programming language still? Wow, I would have thought otherwise seeing as its not strictly required to learn C++.
When in need of a definition, always go to google :finger:
"A compiler is a computer program that translates a computer program written in one computer language (called the source language) into an equivalent program written in another computer language (called the output, object, or target language)"

compilers, assemblers, interpreters, and emulators
As stated by the others, the compiler translates between the "source" language (code), and the "object language (code)". Assemblers also do that. The specific difference between the 2 is the nature of the languages.
The source (input) language (structure/syntax) of the compiler is created/defined completely independently of the object language. For example, the C language has no relation to the internal structure of the computer it programs (such as the number of registers, or the memory buss format: Harvord architecture, Von-Nuemann architecture, etc.) So a language like C is a "universal" language, in that compilers can be had to enable running a given C program on any computer possessing sufficient memory capacity/speed for the task, and once written and debugged to run on one computer, can (at least in theory) be compiled on a different compiler to run on another computer without modification.
The assembly language is structured after the architecture of the processor it is to provide code for. The assembler "assembles" the source code to "machine code", the 1's and 0's that are loaded into the memory. Basically there is a one-to-one correspondence between each line of assembly and a single machine instruction. If a computer with a different structure is to be programmed, a different assembly language/assembler is needed. The advantage of assembly is the ability to optimize the performance of the machine (often by speed factors of 100, and smaller code by factors of 1000). Also, the timing of C-code is hard to control/predict, while assembly can code precise timing functions, but is more difficult to write. For example, on a free-form lens grinder, C running on a PC could calculate the curves, and assembly running on a microcontroller would control the actual cutting of the lens curve by the stepper/servo motors.
Assembly routines requiring only 2000 bytes can do some rather awesome things, in the day and age where programs are measured in megabytes.
Many programs are written as combinations of both; assembly for the intensive parts of the code, carefully hand-tuned for speed, and C for the less speed intensive/more difficult to write parts.
A third type of "code converter" is the interpreter. This does not strictly "convert" the code at all. Instead, the code is stored in the computer exactly as written, and an "interpreter" is running, processing each line of code in turn. So the source code is not really "running"; it is a data stream feeding the interpreter. The early Basics that ran on PC's (such as Quickbasic) were interpreters. Although,they run about 100 to 1000 times slower than assembly, they are more bugproof (the interpreter is running and checking the code for correctness continuously. If an infinite loop or a math overflow occurs, the interpreter flags it.) They are useful when you want to calculate something with a quickly whipped out program. Presently, they have fallen out of use because "the common person no longer programs". They resort to "apps" such as Matlab and spreadsheets for calculations. But Basic is handy when a calculation is required that does not fit an app or one is not willing to pay a fortune for an app for a simple calculation. An example is a converter to take some sort of a CAD file, and convert it into a form that will be accepted by a non-compatible machine, say to lay out a lens edging cam from an eyeglass frame. Put eyeglass frame on scanner face down. Scan to BMP file. import BMP into CAD program, and draw around the eyewires with CAD elements. Basic program digests the CAD file, and provides a G-code (standard milling machine driver file) to cut the cam on a milling machine. Perhaps the "patternless lens edger" died, and the new one is not compatible with the old expensive CAD software. So a Basic program patches the new and the old.
An emulator program makes the object code written for one computer run on another. An example is the "maim" code (you arcade fanatics probably know about this), which accepts the original object code for the video games, such as Packman, and allows them to run on the PC, verses the "old clunker" computers they originally run on. Each and every instruction cycle is perfectly replicated. The emulator, like the compiler, runs 10 to 100 times slower (on a given computer) than assembly, but are useful when an old system dies, there is a lot of investment in the software, and the newer computers are so much faster.
My main area of expertise is on the "small end" of the code spectrum (assembly and Basic).

A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The most common reason for wanting to transform source code is to create an executable program.
The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language or machine code). If the compiled program can only run on a computer whose cpu or operating system is different from the one on which the compiler runs the compiler is known as a cross-compiler. A program that translates from a low level language to a higher level one is a decompiler. A program that translates between high-level languages is usually called a language translator, source to source translator, or language converter. A language rewriter is usually a program that translates the form of expressions without a change of language.

compiler is a simple computer program which converts source code of programs into computer understandable language at compile time because computer understands only binary language i.e. 0's or 1's. compiler will convert high level language input by user into machine language. It is also done by interpreter but it will generate an intermediate code first after that it will convert input to binary or machine language.

Sound Physicians Selected for Hospitalist Services
September 15, 2016 |
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla., September 15, 2016 Florida Hospital New Smyrna has selected Sound Physicians to provide hospitalist services for the 112-bed New Smyrna Beach hospital.
Hospitalists are physicians whose primary professional focus is the general medical care of hospitalized patients. These physicians work in the hospital, caring for inpatients, and can be more readily available to patients than a doctor who has their own office. By focusing on the care of hospitalized patients, a hospitalist has experience and expertise on the unique aspects of a patient's needs during a hospital stay.
Sound Physicians, a healthcare organization focused on improving quality and lowering cost throughout the acute episode of care, will employ a team of hospitalists, including a chief hospitalist, as well as a hospitalist nurse focused on driving performance improvements and patient satisfaction efforts. Collaborating with Florida Hospital New Smyrna leadership, Sound Physicians will implement a quality performance model designed to improve quality, satisfaction and financial performance for the hospital.
We are excited to have the Sound Physicians hospitalist group joining our team, said Steve Harrell, Florida Hospital New Smyrna chief operating officer. They have an outstanding reputation across the country for providing quality inpatient care, and we welcome their participation in caring for our patients alongside our other Florida Hospital New Smyrna medical staff partners.
Were looking forward to partnering with Florida Hospital New Smyrna, said Dr. Rob Bessler, Sound Physicians chief executive officer. We see this as a great opportunity to work together and apply best practices that will measurably improve healthcare for patients in southeast Volusia County.
About Sound Physicians
Founded in 2001, Sound Physicians is a leading healthcare organization with a proven track record of improving quality, satisfaction and financial performance for hospitals and post-acute facilities nationwide. Our patient-centered approach, web-based workflow platform, experienced leadership team and more than 2,000 hospitalist, intensivist, emergency medicine and transitional care providers drive breakthrough results throughout the acute episode of care for nearly 300 hospitals and post-acute facilities in 33 states across the nation.
About Florida Hospital New Smyrna
Florida Hospital New Smyrna is a member of Adventist Health System, a faith-based health care organization with 46 hospital campuses and nearly 8,200 licensed beds in 10 states. With 112-beds, Florida Hospital New Smyrna is one of the six Florida Hospitals in Volusia and Flagler counties that composes the Florida Hospital East Florida Region. As the largest hospital system in the area, the Florida Hospital East Florida Region has 923 beds and more than 6,000 employees. For more information about Florida Hospital New Smyrna, visit www.FHNewSmyrna.org.


Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common dental health problem for people in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 42.7 percent of adults older than 30 have some kind of periodontal disease. The disease is typically caused by the inflammation or infection of the bone and gums that support your teeth. In the early stages, it's known as gingivitis, and in this phase, the gums look swollen or may bleed during brushing and flossing. Later on, the gums start to pull away from the teeth and bone loss can happen.
Other illnesses can also increase your chances of developing periodontal disease. For example, the AIDS virus weakens your immune system, which lowers the ability of your body to fight off the disease.
While these are warning signs of periodontal disease, the presence of these symptoms doesn't necessarily mean that you have it. If you have multiple warning signs, however, you should contact your dentist to rule out the possibility or to start treatment.
Advanced Dental Specialists can provide you with more information about periodontal disease and help you to remedy the problem.


BodyTalk allows the body's energy systems to be resynchronized so they can operate as nature intended them to. When the body is operating at an optimal level, each system, cell, and atom is in constant communication with each other. Due to the stresses of our day to day lives, these lines of communication can become compromised. This can lead to a decline in physical, emotional, and/or mental health. By opening these lines of communication, the body and mind can return to balance and harmony. I have an extensive amount of experience with energy medicine, however I find the BodyTalk protocol to be the simplest and most effective method to follow during a session with a client. I generally start the session with my client using this protocol and allow the "inner wisdom" of the client, along with my assistance, to guide me in and out of other healing modalities.

Antonio Muñoz Degrain (Valencia, 18 de noviembre de 1840 – Málaga, 12 de octubre de 1924) fue un pintor español de paisajes y obras de temática histórica, inspirada en pasajes literarios y asuntos orientalistas. Se le ha considerado uno de los padres del luminismo valenciano, aunque no ajeno a los preceptos románticos y simbolistas.

Biografía
De ascendencia francesa, hijo de padre relojero, comenzó por deseo de este los estudios de Arquitectura que pronto abandonó para inscribirse en la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos de Valencia. Allí cursó diversas asignaturas entre 1852 y 1859, destacando en la dedicada a la pintura de paisajes que impartía por aquel entonces el profesor Luis Téllez-Girón Belloch (1808-1878), aunque más importante en este aspecto fue quizá su amistad con Rafael Montesinos Ramiro (1811-1877), también profesor en la Real Academia de San Carlos. En 1856 decide marchar a pie a Italia sin apenas dinero.

La llegada de Carlos de Haes (1826-1898) en 1857 a la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando en Madrid supuso una renovación formal en el género del paisaje español, que junto con la nueva orientación de los gustos de un público burgués más proclive al cuadro esencialmente decorativo y de pequeñas dimensiones, potenciaron al máximo la labor de los paisajistas. Siguiendo la tradición de los jóvenes pintores, Muñoz Degrain utilizó como plataforma de su carrera el taller de Rafael Montesinos Ramiro y el estudio de su compañero Bernardo Ferrándiz Bádenes.

En 1862, participó en la Exposición Nacional de Madrid con una Vista de los Pirineos. También acudió a exposiciones internacionales, como las Universales de Filadelfia (1876), Múnich (1883) y Chicago (1893).

Una de sus obras más celebradas en sus comienzos fue la que presentó al certamen madrileño de 1867, Paisaje del Pardo al disiparse la niebla, con la que obtuvo una medalla de segunda clase. Aunque estas primeras obras muestran una notable preocupación por la veracidad, mediante la pincelada abreviada y el estudio de la luz dota de frescura a estos primeros paisajes que introducían el cambio renovador del género, de nuevo influencia de Carlos de Haes.

En 1870 se trasladó a Málaga reclamado por Ferrándiz Bádenes para colaborar en las obras de decoración del techo del Teatro Cervantes, los fondos de la Alegoría de Málaga. Entre 1870 y 1871 cambia de registro temático y a la Nacional de ese año manda sus primeras pinturas de género: La oración o Coro de Monjas, La Sorpresa, El campamento, La Caridad y el Ave María. Con el coro de Monjas vuelve a obtener la segunda medalla y es adquirida por el estado. Aunque suponga un cambio temático, la composición de esta obra sigue moviéndose en el lenguaje solemne y grandilocuente de la pintura de historia. En cambio, la obra La sorpresa si sugiere un tratamiento en el que la espontaneidad y la congelación del gesto son las claves del relato, en la línea de lo que hacía Ferrándiz y Fortuny.

En Málaga contrajo matrimonio y en 1872 nacería su único hijo Joaquín. Fue miembro de la Asociación de Escritores y Artistas de Málaga. También fue elegido para formar parte de la recepción de Alfonso XII en su visita a Málaga en marzo de 1877, para la que realizó la obra titulada Drama en Sierra Nevada, que posteriormente sería adquirida por el Ayuntamiento, que también adquirió Tragedia en el Valle, dedicado al entonces alcalde José de Alarcón Luján.

Fue sustituto de Bernardo Ferrándiz en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Telmo además de impartir Acuarela, Perspectiva y Dibujo y Pintura para señoritas, asignaturas no oficiales. En calidad de profesor sustituto dirige una instancia al director de la Escuela para aspirar a la plaza de Ayudante de Dibujo Lineal y Dibujo aplicado a las artes, solicitud que levantó fuertes polémicas en el seno de la Academia por parte de los defensores de José Ruiz y Blasco, sustituto personal de Rincón desde 1875 y que aspiraba a la misma plaza. Finalmente el cargo lo obtiene José Ruiz Blasco, ya que pesó más el argumento de que eran cargos creados para profesores en formación y Degrain ya era un consolidado y prestigioso artista. Debido a ello se creó ex profeso la plaza de profesor auxiliar cuya función era la de suplir las faltas del profesorado por ausencias o enfermedades. Nombramiento que se haría efectivo a partir del curso 1879/1880, siendo años después maestro de toda una generación de artistas, entre ellos, un jovencísimo Picasso.

En 1881 obtuvo una medalla por el lienzo titulado Otelo y Desdémona que le propició una pensión del Gobierno para la Academia de España en Roma y en octubre de ese año se traslada a Italia siendo sustituido por Leonardo Camps, nombramiento que concede el Ministerio sin contar con la Academia con el consiguiente desacuerdo de la misma. Es allí dónde realiza su gran cuadro Los amantes de Teruel, una de las piezas capitales de la pintura española del siglo XIX que envió a la Exposición Nacional de 1884, obteniendo la primera medalla. Su estancia en Italia, sin embargo, fue corta, pues pronto pide permiso de salida argumentando la necesidad de viajar a Marruecos para preparar material para su trabajo de pensionado, parece ser que también viajó a Siria, Egipto y Palestina. Pensó realizarlo sobre el tema de El suspiro del Moro, trabajo que no terminó de ejecutar pero que fue el pretexto para no permanecer demasiado tiempo alejado de Málaga y termina su pensión en Roma el 5 de febrero de 1885.

En 1887 se trasladó a Madrid tras conseguir la plaza de profesor de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando a la que se incorpora el 8 de octubre, puesto que había solicitado en 1886 y no había conseguido. Sin embargo su permanencia en Madrid esos años está probada por el trabajo realizado en la Iglesia de San Francisco el Grande de Madrid para la que hizo el retablo del Santo Sepulcro. En 1890 vuelve a intentar obtener por posición una plaza de numerario en la citada Escuela de Madrid, que no obtiene hasta la jubilación de Carlos de Haes en 1895, que deja vacante la Cátedra de Paisaje en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. La cátedra de Madrid la obtiene por concurso y no por oposición, como era deseo de Haes, para que la ocupara su discípulo Jaime Morera y Galicia. Será nombrado miembro al año siguiente y director desde 1901, cargo al que renunció en 1912, siendo asimismo presidente del Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid. Asimismo, por estas fechas, fue nombrado caballero de las órdenes de Isabel la Católica, Carlos III y Alfonso XII, recibiendo asimismo la Medalla de Honor en la Exposición Nacional de 1910.

En 1919 tras la inauguración del Palacio Municipal de Málaga, se le encarga la decoración pictórica del Salón de Plenos. No es necesario explicar en qué consideración tenía el Ayuntamiento a Muñoz Degrain, cuyo vínculo permanente con Málaga le había valido que en 1911 le nombraran Hijo adoptivo de la ciudad, correspondiendo él con la entrega de la obra Un drama en Sierra Nevada, en sustitución de esa otra que en 1879 le compra el Ayuntamiento. Asimismo, dona la cantidad estipulada como honorarios de su trabajo, 3000 ptas., para la creación de un premio para los alumnos de la Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Málaga.

El trabajo para el Salón de Plenos lo simultaneará en Madrid con la serie sobre el Quijote para la Biblioteca Nacional, lo que supuso un retraso en la entrega de la obra acabada de Málaga, que termina definitivamente en 1920. El 6 de marzo de ese año, la Academia de Bellas Artes recibe los lienzos y se recoge el acta el hecho comentándose la recepción de los cuadros de la bovedilla del Salón de Sesiones y la solicitud del autor de que no se desembalen hasta que él llegue y realice la operación pues tiene el propósito de dirigir personalmente la colocación de las pinturas en el sitio.

La Academia le organiza un recibimiento para el que Federico Bermúdez Gil propone que sea exposición homenaje, sumándose César Alvárez Dumont a la propuesta y ofreciendo la colaboración de la Escuela de Artes y oficios como centro en donde ejerció la docencia el pintor.

Alegoría de la ciudad. Málaga muy hospitalaria

El trabajo para el nuevo Palacio Municipal consistió en una escena que recogía el episodio del salvamento por la población malagueña de los náufragos de la fragata Gneisenau, barco alemán que se hundió frente a la costa de Málaga debido a un fuerte temporal en diciembre de 1900 y en el que murieron 41 soldados alemanes, ahogados en las lanchas salvavidas o aplastados contra las rocas. Encallado el barco en el malecón de Levante, la población malagueña acudió en masa para salvar a los supervivientes, situándose sobre dicho malecón o sobre las escolleras, en donde fueron recogiendo los cuerpos que llegaban hasta allí impulsados por el fuerte oleaje. Hasta 12 ciudadanos malagueños murieron en el salvamento a causa de la violencia de la tempestad y de la dificultad del rescate. El gesto heroico de la población tuvo una gran repercusión en el resto del mundo y la reinaMaría Cristina, por un real decreto de 1901 le concedió el título de Muy hospitalaria.

Años finales

En 1917, Valencia lo honra erigiendo un monumento realizado por el escultor Díaz-Pintado. El busto fue costeado por el hermano del pintor y sus amigos Manuel Nogales, Enrique Navas, Alfredo Marcos López, Pascual Isla, Enrique Cuñat y José Albiol, y posteriormente donado a la Academia. Poco después, la Academia de Bellas Artes de Málaga emprende una campaña para sufragar el levantamiento de un monumento similar en Málaga. En 1922 los fondos recaudados todavía eran escasos, como expone el pintor Nogales ante la Academia, encargado de coordinar el proyecto. El proyecto del monumento no prospera durante los años siguientes y la Academia decide compensar la situación nombrándolo académico de honor, propuesta que es acogida por 'aclamación entusiasta' y otros académicos como Salvador Rueda, Revello y Diego García Carreras le rinden homenaje mediante un poema, un pergamino o una lápida y finalmente la inauguración del monumento en el parque el 14 de junio.

En 1924 vuelve sobre el valor en Málaga con la composición sobre la epopeya de Igueriben. El cuadro, titulado Los de Igueriben mueren... lo concibe mientras estaba pintando un nuevo episodio sobre Colón, que abandona para acometer la gesta del comandante Benítez en la Guerra del Rif. Fue decisión propia de Muñoz Degrain realizarlo y regalárselo al Ayuntamiento, como se expone con clara constancia en la correspondencia que cursó con el alcalde de Málaga en esos años, José Gálvez Ginachero. Falleció en 1924, coincidiendo con la preparación del homenaje y monumento al pintor. Finalmente se erigió un mausoleo en el Cementerio de San Miguel. El Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid se montó una exposición antológica.

Obra

Se inicia en la pintura de historia, siguiendo las estrictas reglas academicistas con sorprendente fidelidad. Es sin embargo en el paisaje donde su constante búsqueda de novedad encuentra su campo de acción. En principio sus obras tienen una cuidada composición y cierta factura preciosista influencia sin duda de su maestro Rafael Montesinos. Con el tiempo, su pintura va evolucionando y contrarresta las rígidas normas académicas con la utilización personal de la luz y el color que, sobre todo en los elementos naturales, se va volviendo menos meditada. Abandona la minuciosa ejecución en pos de una libertad de pincel que dota a sus obras de un carácter de provisionalidad e inmediatez muy apreciado por los nuevos paisajistas.

Comienza a utilizar una serie de paletas que escapan a los colores tradicionales, elemento en el que reside principalmente la originalidad de su obra.  El gusto por los contrastes poco comunes y los intensos azules, grises y rosas se convertirán en su sello de identidad.
A pesar de estas innovaciones formales seguirá utilizando la figura humana como justificación o argumento de sus obras, característica que mantendrá durante toda su trayectoria, al igual que compositivamente se mantendrá dentro de los límites de la pintura paisajista más comedida.

Criticado por sus contemporáneos, Muñoz Degrain puso en práctica, sobre todo, en los cuadros de paisaje un uso violento y estridente del colorido y una factura atrevida, a los que pocos artistas de su época llegaron a atreverse, que indudablemente, lo acercaron a los artistas más destacados de la modernidad. Sin embargo, la prudencia de sus estructuras compositivas choca con el subjetivismo y colorido que lo sitúan en la vanguardia del paisajismo en España, y es por ello que su obra se encuentra a medio camino de los movimientos pictóricos europeos más innovadores.

Además de las obras comentadas, se pueden citar:
 Vista del Valle de la Murta (1864), premiado en la Exposición Nacional.
 Los amantes de Teruel (1884), primera medalla en la Exposición Nacional.
 La conversión de Recaredo (1888), expuesto en el Senado de España.

Practical Powershell part 3: Basic scripts - on with the show!
This is the third post in my series on Practical PowerShell for the IT Pro. You can find the first post here.
(Note: any PowerShell cmdlets shown in a screenshot will be included in a block that can be copied and pasted later in the post.)
It has been a long time since my last post on Practical PowerShell for the IT pro. A lot of things have changed in the world. The last few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind. I would apologize for not making this post sooner, but I think it's good for us to acknowledge the need to unwind. Focusing on writing has been hard, but now that I have adjusted to this new normal, I am ready to get back into the groove. For many of us, our jobs are unlikely to return the the "old normal." Covid-19 will prove to be a world changing event, and the impact will be felt for years. Many of us have had to shift our approach from incremental change to rapid workplace modernization, and we have been asked to do it virtually overnight.
As we modernize, we will find a greater need to rely on PowerShell for managing users, devices, and licenses in the cloud. While the Administrative consoles give us access to most functionality, some controls aren't exposed in the UI and many batch jobs or repetitive tasks can be completed more efficiently through a script. I hope that this blog series acts as a jumping off point for administrators that want to get started with PowerShell for systems administration.
In the last Practical PowerShell post I walked you through how to find the cmdlets you need to return an Azure AD user object. To complete that task, we had to install the Azure AD module, connect to Azure AD, then run the Get-AzureADUser cmdlet to return the user object. We ran each of these cmdlets separately to accomplish our goal. We can now use those cmdlets to create a basic script.
It's Showtime!
A script is essentially just a set of directions that tells the computer what to do to return a desired result. Computer scripts aren't that different the scripts used to produce a play or a movie. If you've ever acted in a play you will be familiar with the basic set description, stage direction, and dialog layout:
(The scene opens on a group of IT Pros working feverishly away at their desks. The set is dark, and we can see each IT pros face lit by the faint glow of a computer monitor. SEAN, a slightly unkempt but ruggedly good-looking IT pro bursts in stage R.)
Sean crosses to center stage, the other IT Pros take note.
SEAN: Everyone! Pay attention! I'm going to tell you about the MODERN WORKPLACE! And maybe even PowerShell!
As riveting as this scene sounds, I'm not convinced that I'm ready to write a Tony-award winning play. The opening section sets the scene. It provides important details on how the stage is laid out and where our actors are on stage. This is like the declarations section of a script where important variables may be set, connections are made, and sessions are imported. Those items set the stage to continue running the script.
After that we have a basic stage direction. This tells our dashing and debonair hero exactly what to do after entering on stage right. If we connected to Azure AD in the first step, we could then tell PowerShell to run the Get-AzureADUser cmdlet. If we had not connected to Azure AD in the first step the next step, the next cmdlet wouldn't have worked.
Finally, our lead character says his first line. This is essentially returning a value based on the rest of the script. Reciting a line is essentially the actor's equivalent of a "Write-Host" command. If the stage crew got the lighting wrong before the curtain came up, the actors were not in their places, and props weren't where they were intended to be the scene would have broken down (trust me, I know from experience!). The rest of the show wouldn't go as planned.
The same is true with a PowerShell script. Each element must happen in the right order to get the desired result. Generally, variables that will be used throughout the script are set at or near the beginning, connections to outside services need to be made before running their associated cmdlets, and you can't return a value until you have performed the tasks needed to collect that data.
Act II: The Script you've been waiting for
Today we want to return the devices associated with an Azure AD User. Based on the lessons in our last post, we know that we can search, "Get Azure AD devices by user" to see what options we have.
When we do this, we see that there is a cmdlet for this exact task, Get-AzureADUserRegisteredDevice:
When we look at the Microsoft documentation for the cmdlet we can see that the -ObjectID switch can be used to specify a user.
Earlier versions of the MS Online PowerShell module required the guid from the user object. Fortunately, in the current version of the AzureAD module we can simply use the User Principal Name.
Now we have all the cmdlets we need to connect to Azure Activity Directory, return a user, and return their active devices. From here we can build a script that would take a single user and return the information we need to know about that user and their devices.
We have already established that a script is simply a collection of directions that tells a computer exactly what we want it to do. It can be as simple as a single cmdlet or could stretch for thousands of lines. It doesn't always make sense to write a script to complete a task. If you won't need to repeat a task it probably makes more sense to run the individual cmdlets one time. Tasks that are often repeated or run on a schedule will usually merit writing a script. My benchmark is generally based on making a best guess as to whether writing a script will save me time in the long run. If it takes five minutes to run through individual cmdlets to return user licensing information, but an hour to write the script, it probably doesn't make sense to write that script. If we need to return information on a user and their devices whenever someone leaves the company, we could be performing this task hundreds of times a year. In that case a script not only makes sense, but it will save countless hours and moves you one step closer to automating a repetitive task.
On with the show!
When we write scripts, we need to know what information we have to begin with and what we expect our script to do with that information. In this example we will assume that we receive a notification that a user is leaving our company. Human Resources sends us the user's name and their email address, and we need to send back information about their account and devices that the user has registered.
When I write a script, the first step I take is to create a list of tasks that need to be completed. This is one example of writing pseudocode. It's clean and helps me to organize my thoughts to build a script.
Input user's email address
Connect to Azure AD
Get the user based on their email address
Return user properties
Get the list of devices registered to the user
Return name
Return device ID
Return Device type
Now that we have an outline of what the script should look like we can begin to build our script. I am going to use the script pane in the PowerShell ISE to begin to build my script. We want to be able to repeat this script for any user that leaves the company, and I don't want to have to change multiple references to the user's email every time I run it. To accomplish this task, I am going to pass the email address into a variable that can be reused in the Get-AzureADUser and Get-AzureUserRegisteredDevice cmdlets. In our environment a user's primary email matches their User Principal Name (UPN), which is passed into the -ObjectID switch.
In the ISE I am going to create a variable ($UPN) and set it to my UPN. The green text on the first line is a comment that explains what I intend to do in the following section of code. It's best practice to put comments in your script. This acts as a guide to help you remember what your script does and why you're doing it in the way that you are. If you share the script with others it will help them to understand what each section of the script does. It's not required but will make your life easier later. Create a comment in PowerShell by using the pound [#] symbol at the start of a line. (Helpful hint: When troubleshooting a script or making edits later you can comment out lines of a script to prevent them from running!)
The Connect-AzureAD cmdlet can be passed into the script with no further switches. In my next blog post I will explain the use of functions and we will explore other options to use with the Connect-AzureAD cmdlet. For the purpose of this post we are going to keep things simple.
Next, we will get the user's account information from Azure. HR wants to know a user's country, whether they have assigned licenses, and if their account is still active. To accomplish this task, we want to return the DisplayName, Country, AccountEnabled, and AssignedLicenses properties. We will pipe the results of Get-AzureADUser to Select-Object and pass the property names we want to return. To make it easier to work with these later we will pass them to the $UserProperties variable.
The next step in our script will be to get the user's device information. To do that we will run the Get-AzureADUserRegisteredDevice. We want to know the device's name, operating system, and OS version.
The final step is to return the values from our Get- cmdlets. You can return a variable's value to the host by simply calling the variable.
You can run a script in the ISE by clicking the Green Arrow on the command bar. You can run it from the script pane by browsing to the directory it is saved in and typing .\ followed by the script name.
When we execute the script, we get the following output:
We can see at the top the account that was used to connect to Azure. This tells us that our Connect-AzureAD cmdlet was successful in connecting. We then received our user properties and finally the device properties. This script works as it was intended, but there are several items that can be cleaned up. AssignedLicenses is a multi-value property, and the information it returned isn't very clear. I can see that this user is licensed, but unless I know which licenses the SkuID field corresponds to the information isn't very useful. Also, the user properties and device properties are in separate variables which means they are separate objects. This will make it more difficult to work with them in a more complex script or to return them in a more usable format.
In future blog posts I will show you how to work with objects and to write out information that is returned to a file. We will also work with multi-value properties and I will show you how to pass the SkuID into Get-AzureADSubscribedSku to return more information about a user's licenses. Once again, the point of this series is to create a series of cumulative lessons to take an IT pro that is new to PowerShell from running basic cmdlets to building more complex scripts. It's not meant to be an exhaustive resource, but hopefully it provides you the information you need to build your comfort level in PowerShell.
As promised, here's the complete script used above so you can copy and paste:
#Set the User Principal Name to return information for
$UPN = "sean@modernendpoint.com"
#Connect to Azure Active Directory
#Get user information from Azure AD.
$UserProperties = Get-AzureADuser -ObjectId $UPN | Select displayName,Country,AccountEnabled,AssignedLicenses
#Get user device information
$Devices = Get-AzureADUserRegisteredDevice -ObjectId $UPN | Select DisplayName,DeviceOSType,DeviceOSVersion
#Return Values to Console Window
$UserProperties
$Devices

Q: Problems in ipython %%timeit prompt I am very confused with what is happening with ipython %%timeit.
In [1]: %%timeit for i in range(10):
    ....: print(i)
    ....:
    ....:
    ....:
    ....:

It doesn't end the prompt even after several enters or even after pressing Ctrl+C.  Can someone share some thoughts what is happening here?  I am using Winpython.

A: you may leave the %%timeit line empty:
%%timeit
for i in range(10):
    print(i)

A: When using a cell-magic (%% prefix, vs % for a line-magic), stuff after the magic word are arguments that can do various things. In the case of timeit, you gave it some setup code, with apparently some unexpected results:

timeit
Docstring: Time execution of a Python statement or expression
Usage, in line mode:   %timeit [-n<N> -r<R> [-t|-c] -q -p<P> -o] statement or in cell mode:
%%timeit [-n<N> -r<R> [-t|-c] -q -p<P> -o] setup_code
code
code...

Time execution of a Python statement or expression using the timeit module.  This function can be used both as a line and cell magic:

*

*In line mode you can time a single-line statement (though multiple   ones can be chained with using semicolons).

*In cell mode, the statement in the first line is used as setup code   (executed but not timed) and the body of the cell is timed.  The cell body has access to any variables created in the setup code.

Apparently the magic processor didn't error out on a block fragment so maybe it would never end? Or maybe it did complete the setup code block without any visual indication, then was waiting for some code to time.
That said, for me (IPython 5.3.0 on Python 3.6.1), I get an expected syntax error:
In [1]: %%timeit for x in range(3):
   ...:     x*x
   ...:
  File "<unknown>", line 1
    for x in range(3):
                      ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

What version of IPython are you using? It may be a bug that should be reported.

Diamond are the hardest natural substance known. Diamonds earliest known history dates back to a Sanskrit manuscript called the Arthasastra (The Lesson of Profit) by Kautiliya, a minister of Chandragupta of the Mauryan dynasty in Northern India. The manuscript dates back to 320-296 b.c.e (before common era).
Diamonds are made of carbon. This carbon sinks deep into the Earth by tektonic plate movement where the intense heat and pressure of the Earth transforms the carbon into diamonds. Once the diamond is formed, it is stuck there. It may take millions of years before the right conditions bring the diamond to the surface of the Earth. There is only one thing that commonly occurs that can bring diamonds up from deep inside the Earth. That is volcanoes.
Diamonds are found near areas of volcanic activity. Because of the depths required to form diamonds, it is impossible for us to dig to those depths. Fortunately, volcanoes periodically bring material from deep within the Earth such as garnet, zircon and diamonds.

nigrifacies


This past week has seen a lot of whipsaw. But, from an Elliottician's perspective, it was to be expected, as the market has been tracing out a b-wave within a corrective 4th wave structure. This is the most variable segment within Elliott's 5 wave structure, and typically acts just as we have seen over the last few weeks.
As the stock market hits heights which have surprised most market participants, we have seen many market participants maintain a bearish bias through most of the rise because the "fundamentals suggest the market should not be this high."
They review data published by research firms supporting their thesis based upon earnings, money flow, margin debt, GDP and a myriad other "reasons" as to why the market should not be this high. They have developed a certain amount of comfort in "knowing" that they are not wrong, but, rather, it's the stock market which is wrong, despite the market continuing its march higher. Moreover, they take further comfort in their belief that other investment advisers share their bearish perspectives.
But, as Jesse Livermore would say, "A prudent speculator never argues with the tape. Markets are never wrong, opinions often are."
However, they still maintain their bearish eye towards the market, as it is the "reasonable" thing to do, because "it will all turn out very, very badly." But, do not fret, as they will eventually be proven right within "5,10 years from now."
And based upon such "logic," we will all die in the end so let's just give up right now. I mean, claiming that "it will all turn out very, very badly" within 5-10 years is not exactly analysis by which one can invest.
Of course, the market is going to strike a long-term top. I mean, "duh." But, should we run and hide our money because it is going to happen in the future? Many of these analysts have been claiming the "crash is upon us" for years, and the only thing they have certainly proven is that THEY cannot tell you when it will happen. So, they simply malign anyone else that does not believe as they do through name calling. As some of them put it, everyone who does not see the market as they do is simply "delusional" and "wrong," even those that expected the market to reach these heights.
I have written in the past many times about these types of investors and analysts. Moreover, I have written in the past about why such bearishness sells among the masses.


Facebook is getting aggressive with the options it provides for you with Facebook Ads to reach out to more than 2.01+ billion active users logging in daily. With a high (and almost precise) level of targeting available, custom audiences, and lookalike audiences, Facebook's targeting prowess is unmatchable.
As such, Facebook Ads aren't as easy to run as it might seem at first glance. Although we must give credit to Facebook for trying to make it easier for advertisers to flourish on the network, it's just in the nature of the beast that the more powerful it gets, the more complicated it's going to be for advertisers to make good use of Facebook Ads.
As a business owner or a marketer, your only real goal with c is to inch towards a positive ROI. You want your ads to work. You want to pack in a punch.
Forget trying to waste time, money, and precious opportunities with needless split testing (when you don't have to).
There are way too many businesses out there just "asking" for the sale.
Asking people to part with their cash in the fleeting moment they see your ad is a huge ask. Yet, every business that we know of is doing just that.
Doing what doesn't work really.
No one is about to buy from you. It's not like they wake up every morning, credit card in hand, waiting to swipe.
It's time to stand out from the crowd. Don't make ads that say "Buy now". Instead, give away something.
If you don't have an irresistible offer to make, you shouldn't even be creating an ad, launching a campaign, or building a sales funnel. Your customers have choices and for them to consider buying your products or services, you have to make an offer.
It's for no reason that books like The Irresistible Offer by Mark Joyner are popular.
Download the book for free in PDF format, thanks to Hubspot.
The idea is to give stuff away (not ask), and then nurture your leads, grow trust, and then make sales on a continuous — and almost predictable — basis.
Consider this: 57% of customers watch product videos while in store. Retailers report a 40% increase in sales because of video.
Plus, potential customers who view video ads are 1.81X more like to purchase than those who only check out text or text plus image combinations, according to Adobe.
Videos work like a charm. They pour life into your ads (and also into your potential customers' newsfeeds). Plus, videos just convert (there's no need to split test this, trust us).
The problem with "corporate style" writing is that it's too stiff. Companies convey messages (in ads or otherwise) with some sort of pseudo superiority complex. It almost feels as if they talk down to the customer.
Either that, or the ads lack any character, style, or attitude. No one likes to see an ad with nothing but a company logo on it.
Make your ads more human. Your copy should talk on a person-to-person level. Write your ads like you write to a friend.
Don't do split testing for the sake of doing it or because you always keep reading about it. You want to split test because you want to find your champions among ads, sales funnels, email copy, and more; not because you thought it'd be great to do it or just because you can.
Wait a few days before evaluating your results.
Wait to confirm your results until you have at least 95% statistical significance.
Stick to testing one variable at a time.
To make any decisions that mean something for your campaigns, play the "waiting" game. Ensure that you have enough data before you make any decisions about your ads, landing pages, or sales funnels.
How do your Facebook Ads (…or LinkedIn Ads or Google Ads) look like? Are you packing a punch in your ads? Get on a scheduled call with us if you'd like to take your paid advertising campaigns to the next level.

Gibraltar after the Treaty of Utrecht
By NICHOLLS, Sutton, 1727
Several Prospects of the Rock, Town, Castle, Fortifications, & Bay of Gibraltar also a Plan of ye same w.th ye Approaches of the Spaniards in ye last War, & ye addition of the New Works, Likewise a Map of ye Streights of Gibraltar w.th ye adjacent Parts of Spain; a Chart of ye Streights wth. ye Soundings of ye Bay, a Map of ye Island of Majorca & a Chart of Port Mahon w.th ye Soundings of that Bay
Europe Spain & Portugal
Author: NICHOLLS, Sutton
Publisher: Thomas Bowles (II) and John Bowles
Publication date: c.1727.
Physical description: Engraved sheet with four maps and four views, some coloured.
Dimensions: 465 by 570mm. (18.25 by 22.5 inches).
Detailed composite sheet depicting Gibraltar, Majorca and Minorca, engraved by Sutton Nicholls (fl. ca. 1687 — 1725?), an engraver, map and printseller.
The history of the plate is unclear; it seems likely that the sheet was first engraved and printed by Nicholls in about 1712–1713, at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, to show Britain's gains, as confirmed by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.
This printing bears the joint imprint of Thomas Bowles (II) and John Bowles, the latter's address dateable to 1727, also the occasion of Spain's second attempt to recapture Gibraltar, an appropriate time to reprint the plate. Nicholls disappears from view between 1728 and 1731, and it may be that the plate was acquired by the Bowles brothers at this point, and some additions made to the main plan (re-engraving visible in the key) to bring the plate up to date.
The main part of the plate is 'An Exact Plan o the Town, Castle, Mole and Bay of Gibraltar Likewise the Approaches of ye Spaniards in the Last War. …'; there are also views of Gibraltar from differing aspects, emphasising the strong defensive nature of the peninsula.
If there is a [1712–1713] printing, no exemplar is recorded; this surmised second state has been found in two institutional locations: the BL and Cambridge University Library.
It was advertised by the brothers in the Daily Post (issue 2290) for 25th January, 1727 as,
"This Day is publish'd, curiously engraved on a Sheet of Paper … with the Approaches of the Spaniards in the last War, with the Addition of the new Works …".

Q: coder.ceval struct requires pointer I am using some external C++ code from within Matlab by calling it via coder.ceval:
coder.ceval('myCppFuncName', coder.wref(mySruct))

This works perfectly as long as myStruct is something simple as
myStruct.a = 0;
myStruct.b = 1;

Now I have a struct which is defined in the C++ header file struct.h:
typedef struct
{
  double              x;
  double              y;
} myPoint;

typedef struct
{
  int                 num_points;
  myPoint            *points;       // pointer to array of myPoint-structs
} myStruct;

I don't know how to represent the pointer of the C++ struct in Matlab. As I need to define the struct in Matlab I am trying things like:
coder.cstructname(matlab_myPoint,'myPoint','extern');
coder.cstructname(matlab_myStruct,'myStruct','extern');

matlab_myPoint= struct('x',0,'y',0);
matlab_myStruct = struct('num_points',2,'points',myPoint);

ending in an error message

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'myPoint' to 'myPoint *'

In the original C++ struct, a Pointer to an array of structs is used. How can I reproduce this relationship in a Matlab-born struct ? Thank you!

A: I could finally solve the issue by not passing objects or pointer to objects from Matlab to C but handing over structs instead. The struct in my case contains all the data I need to initialize a new object of the desired class in c.
In order to achieve this one needs to use the same struct architecture in Matlab and in C.
Then with
coder.cstructname(matlab_struct_name,'c_struct_name','extern');

one tells the compiler which C struct is defined by which Matlab struct. The C-Header file has to be specified in the Simulink properties.
The call of the C-Code in Matlab finally looks like this:
coder.ceval('gateway', 1, coder.ref(matlab_struct_name), ,coder.wref(matlab_myRet));

where matlab_myRet has been created the same way like matlab_struct_name and represents the return value struct. All values which are written to it inside the C-Code can later be obtained within Matlab:
matlab_myRet.x(1:5);
matlab_myRet.y(1:5);

Finally an example of the used struct:
in Matlab:
matlab_struct_name.x = 123;
matlab_struct_name.y = 456;

matlab_myRet.x = zeros(10,1);
matlab_myRet.y = zeros(10,1);

in C-Code (header):
typedef struct
{
    double                  x[5];
    double                  y[5];
}matlab_struct_name;

    typedef struct
{
    double                  x[10];
    double                  y[10];
}myReturn;

Hope this helps

Bright Lines and True Dichotomy
Carol Iannone
The editor's intro to the Spring 2019 issue of Academic Questions.
Joseph Epstein
Once educational innovators and forceful exponents of the higher education ideal, university presidents are today more likely to be fundraisers for big capital projects and public relations hacks. Joseph Epstein shares his thoughts on how this conspicuous role reversal came about.
On College Presidents
Heather Heying
Exemplars of openness and inquiry in the twentieth century, colleges and universities have turned toward orthodoxy and indoctrination in the twenty-first. Heather Heying explains that a small number of traditional academic departments and "grievance studies" enclaves are the catalysts of this change, but that college presidents—including George Bridges at Evergreen State College, where Heying was tenured—have played no small role.
Levin, Salovey, and the Mess at Yale
Nathan Harden
Free speech, open inquiry, and the study and debate of a broad range of ideas have long been central features of any properly functioning university. Unfortunately, these are not predominant features at Yale University, perhaps the most politically influential university in America. Instead, the tribalism of identity politics, punctuated with a fierce intolerance for non-conforming thought, has replaced the old ideal.
Strong Leadership: Mitch Daniels Shows the Way
Jane Clark
University presidents seem powerless to address the wide range of problems currently plaguing higher education. Defenders deflect blame toward off-campus targets for such difficulties as skyrocketing tuition, fiscal insolvency, attacks on free speech, and poor workforce outcomes. Mitch Daniels, President of Purdue University, has tackled them all.
The Mizzou Meltdown: How a President Lost Control
J. Martin Rochester
A faculty member at the University of Missouri-St. Louis watched in amazement and horror as UM-Columbia President Tim Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin resigned over allegations of racism at the university. The allegations themselves were based on little or no evidence, but the 2015 crisis at UM, according to Professor J. Martin Rochester, "provides a window into how 'institutional leftism' has subverted the modern university throughout America."
Gregory Fenves: An Unlikely Radical at the Helm of UT-Austin
Mark Pulliam
"Texas," writes Mark Pulliam, "exhibits a governance vacuum for higher education—a perfect storm for mischief by leftist faculty and bureaucrats." Gregory Fenves, a former Dean of UT's engineering school appointed president in 2015, has been no corrective, proving himself a "fulsome social justice warrior in his own right."
University of Transformation: Michael Crow at Arizona State University
Adam Kissel
Through actions, words, and a transformative vision, President Michael Crow has made Arizona State University one of only fourteen institutions to receive the highest free speech rating from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
Herb London (1939-2018)
Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars, Steve Balch, its founding president, and Norman Podhoretz share their thoughts on the passing of the revered scholar, teacher, and higher education leader.
Remembering Columbus: Blinded by Politics
Robert Carle
American colleges and universities have long dispensed with efforts to honor or commemorate Christopher Columbus. But according to Robert Carle, "most Americans know very little about this enigmatic man whose voyages changed the course of history."
The Campus Sanctuary Movement
Glenn M. Ricketts
Arriving late behind select religious institutions and municipalities, American college campuses are now full partners in the effort to protect illegal immigrants. With increasing enrollment of both legal and illegal foreign students—as well as growing financial dependence on the foreign assistance many of them bring—it was inevitable that universities and colleges would emerge as leaders in the movement to change, ignore, or defy federal law.
Perceptions of Gender, Race, and Anti-Conservative Discrimination on Campus
Hal R. Arkes
This study of female college students and recent graduates indicates that campus discrimination based on conservative political ideology might exceed that based on gender. As elsewhere throughout American life, though, these perceptions differ by race.
Rediscovering the Noölogical Dimension of Higher Education: Guidance from the Pages of Philosophy
Micah Sadigh
The fragmentation of higher education into increasingly narrow fields of specialization, along with its vocational focus, has precluded the quest for wisdom and, hence, happiness. What's needed, says Micah Sadigh, is an integrated, dynamic approach to a higher education that can illuminate life, provide a deeper understanding of self, and allow for self-transcendence.
Tomas G. Masaryk: A Life at the "Bloody Crossroads"
Kevin J. McNamara
The son of an illiterate Slovak coachman, Tomas G. Masaryk rose to become the founder and first president of Czecho-Slovakia in 1918, a "Western-oriented, non-Marxist, democratic republic in Central Europe which remained the only democracy east of the Elbe into the 1930s." While Masaryk's lasting political influence, wartime leadership, and personal courage invite comparison with Winston Churchill, Kevin McNamara believes that his thirty-two year career as a prolific scholar and busy professor sets him apart, and provided the foundation for his political achievements.

Laws for the Little Guys
Image: eezlaw.com
By Thomas E. Gift, MD. Dec 1, 2021
In a recent Research Letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association ("Knowledge of State Gun Laws Among US Adults in Gun-Owning Households") Ali Rowhani-Rahbar MD et al present data regarding knowledge of state firearms laws. Specifically, they assess the knowledge possessed by adults living in "gun-owning households" as to these state laws.
They approach this from the perspective that many such laws are designed to prevent injuries, and that following them would be useful for this reason. Using a self-selecting sample of subjects collected via the Internet, they find that a significant number of individuals living in a gun-owning household are not aware of laws in place, for example, to limit child access.
While there is no doubt considerable truth to the assertion that safety would be enhanced if individuals more carefully limited children's access to firearms, there's more to the story.
It's often said that the law is a blunt instrument, and this certainly is the case regarding children's access to firearms. Laws of this sort vary by state and locality, and one household can be very different than another. Some, for example are never visited by children, and in other instances the "child" in the family may be 17 years old, working to support the family and an accomplished hunter—does protecting this "child" by limiting access to firearms make sense?
The authors deserve credit for avoiding the politics so frequent these days in medical publications addressing Second Amendment issues. .....
We see from yesterday's Oxford MI School murders just how important firearm security in the home is, (along with gun safety training for juveniles). In this case a 15 year old sophomore managed to gain access to a parent's recently purchased 9mm semi-auto in order to commit deadly harm, which arguably could have been avoided. Parental culpability in this case could lead to an indictment.
