More Than 500 Dead as Bombay Digs Out
By RAMOLA T. BADAM, associated press — Jul 29th, 2005
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh addresses a press conference after an aerial survey of the flooding in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, in Bombay, India. associated press
BOMBAY, India Rescuers working beneath leaden skies pulled bodies from rivers of mud Thursday as they searched for survivors of record-breaking monsoon rains that killed more than 500 people.
A stampede set off by rumors of a dam burst Thursday also killed at least 15 people, including seven children, and injured more than 25 in a Bombay shantytown.
People in the Nehru Nagar slum in northern Bombay panicked after hearing the rumors in the wake of landslides set off by two days of rains that began Tuesday and buried alive dozens of Bombay residents and cut off neighboring villages.
Officials said 273 people have died in Bombay since Tuesday when the cosmopolitan city that is home to India's financial and movie industries was hit by an unprecedented deluge of up to 37.1 inches of rain in some areas, the highest recorded one-day total in India's history. Much of it came over a few evening hours, transforming roads into fierce rivers.
The rains stretched into Wednesday, paralyzing Bombay and devastating wide swaths of surrounding Maharashtra state before they finally ended Thursday, leaving an overcast sky.
A government-ordered holiday kept workers at home Thursday as normally bustling Bombay, also known as Mumbai, struggled to get back on track. The Bombay Stock Exchange did not open, and many banks and other financial institutions stayed shut.
Phone service was still spotty, some neighborhoods remained without electricity, and stretches of road were blocked by cars abandoned when they stalled in the rain. By evening, train service was back and the city's airports, among the busiest in the nation, were again open.
In the northern Bombay suburb of Saki Naka, relief workers and survivors searched the ruins of a shantytown crushed when a water-soaked hill collapsed on top of it. While the complete toll was unclear, at least 110 people were killed, and more than 45 others were missing and presumed dead.
"It was terrible to pull out little babies from under boulders and mud," said firefighter S. Shinde. "The very young and the old just didn't make it."

It's come to be almost a given that American communal life is pervaded with violence, contained or at large. Those filmmakers who aren't examining contemporary urban jungles from vantage points of nihilistic glee or despair turn to the American rural past to disprove any vestigial illusions we might have had about the noble savage or the pastoral innocent. From Mean Streets to Badlands, from Bad Company to Thieves like Us, from Payday to Buster and Billie, the lay of the land remains the same: brave new worlds gone wrong, gone brutal, gone back from innocence either by accident or in cold blood. America, the home of hillbilly and ghetto crazies, killers pure in heart, traveling city streets and country backroads, dwarfed by skyscrapers or the prairie, always caught, mostly dead—the last American heroes.
Daniel Petrie's Buster and Billie looks to southern Georgia circa 1948 to find another exemplum of American graffiti. Jan-Michael Vincent, whose male-model, soulless good looks have heretofore seemed most at home in urban films like The Mechanic, plays Buster, an all-around good guy who fulfills 'most everybody's dreams—those of his parents, his girl, and most of all the bevy of high school boys who follow him about, loving and hating him for being better than they are at just about everything. Petrie doesn't develop the love/hate ambivalence on the part of Buster's compatriots very well, mostly because he's so hooked on that lush green South Georgia landscape which fairly begs to be photographed as some picture postcard out of the past. He's also enchanted by the potential authenticity of using a lot of nonprofessional actors (citizens of Statesboro, Ga.) in Buster and Billie—and somehow nonprofessionals are coming more and more to look and sound like the most mannered professionals, their very stiltedness and camera-shyness metamorphosing into a stylish selfconsciousness.
But back to Buster: Bearing the burden of communal blessings is a pleasant task as long as you play by the rules. Buster wins points from the respectably disreputable owner of the local poolroom/bar for not joining the rest of the guys for their regular Saturday night gangbang. Instead, he gets to spend a horny couple of hours necking with his girl, who's saving herself—if not him—for marriage. It's hard to tell which is more loveless and unnatural: the bovine Billie (Joan Goodfellow) being mounted in the mud by Buster's buddies, or Buster being coolly put off by the girl (Pamela Sue Martin) most likely to succeed at everything except getting turned on until custom allows—if then. Custom permits Buster to use Billie as the other boys use her, but not to see more in her than an object for rutting. As long as Billie is not human, Buster's friends are not animals; as long as what Billie does for the only kind of affection she can get is condemned as unnatural, what nice girls won't do for love or money is good, in the nature of things. The arbiter of proprieties, the poolroom overseer (Clifton James), cuts Buster dead, as do his erstwhile admirers, when it's clear he's allied himself with an outcast.
The best part of the film is the gradual evolution of that outcast. Quickened to life by the first real affection anyone has shown her, Billie slowly emerges from her nearly mindless, wordless lumpishness and awakens to her own humanity. Buster plays God with formless clay and then turns Adam to her Eve as they skinnydip and make love in the woods far from the unnatural constraints (and license) of the town. He takes her to church, introduces her to movies, dresses her in pretty clothes, and teaches her to dance—gifts that do not so much add to, but rather create, a person. When he is petulantly invalided by a cold, she entertains him by reading a Captain Marvel comic. "Shazaam!" she pronounces with childlike excitement, and to her, one feels, Buster's love must be as much a magic open-sesame to doors she never missed for never having imagined them.
But community proprieties are not flouted so easily. Appropriately, it's Buster's gang that makes proper reprisal—appropriately, because smalltown rules are ironically most rigorously enforced by those who seemingly have least use for them. Billie's resignation as sexual lightning rod looses aggressions that she herself becomes the victim of, and she is returned to her former position: a lifeless, used lump of flesh lying in the mud and rain, an object that will never again be animated by Buster's—or any other—shazaam! Buster's bloody revenge is that and more, for the all-around good boy has from the beginning harbored his own state of suppressed rage (although this too is sketchily developed by Petrie and company), rage against the constraints of his own goodness, the disguised isolation of the more sensitive, the more thoughtful man crowded by adolescent sycophants and doting adults in an environment of narrowmindedness and limited choices. His Galatea is lost to him, and perhaps Billie was the only art Buster will ever know, ever create. The ending of Buster and Billie is poorly constructed, with a really awkward breakdown in narrative sense and momentum, but the last shot of the film is one to remember. Flowers with which Buster has loaded his pickup truck fill the bottom of the frame. Beyond the truck Buster stands beside Billie's grave. Freezeframe, and slowly all the color leeches out of the shot. It is the visual equivalent of Billie's loss to Buster, and to us.

Schools under responsibility of County Council have same dangerous cladding used on Grenfell Tower!
Written by David Jones on April 19, 2019 . Posted in Fire Safety, General Interest, Safety, The ICM Blog.
A report compiled by Independent Property Review Commission has specially highlighted concerns with Wentworh Primary School in Maldon, Danbury St Johns in Chelmsford and Buckhurst Hill Primary ... Edith Borthwick School in Braintree is to be visited by the county council (ECC) principal quality inspector over the Easter holidays ...
LINK TO FULL IPRC REPORT
The Independent Property Review Commission (IPRC) raised concerns about the potential presence of cladding in schools with more than one storey, specifically in areas such as escape routes and refuge areas that could have potential to increase risk in the event of a fire.
Of 64 maintained schools with more than one storey, 32 had some form of cladding present on the buildings, of these eight schools had cladding near stairs; three schools had cladding near a refuge; six schools had cladding near a corridor; and 17 schools had cladding near a fire escape.
Of those 32 schools that had some form of cladding, 27 were determined as having no additional significant health and safety risk posed by the cladding.
Of the five remaining schools, one had recently become an academy and was therefore no longer under the control of ECC.
At Wentworth Primary School there are some areas of concern on the single storey areas where exterior cladding is present in the area of or closely adjacent to primary escape doors and routes.
This will require further discussion on whether any action is necessary.
At Danbury St John's, PVC cladding is virtually everywhere adjacent to and around primary fire escape doors and routes and is a cause for concern.
This is especially clear as this appears to have been fixed over the top of the coated timber panels which are also combustible.
At Buckhurst Hill Primary School there are some areas of concern where cladding is in the direct area of or closely adjacent to primary escape doors and routes.
However this ECC believes this could be mitigated with good preparation and reapplication of a fire retarding finish.
The report, which will be discussed at a meeting later this month, says that of 13 recommendations in ensuring fire safety within its estate, 11 have been fully implemented.
One has been partially implemented while recommendation 12, that says ECC should review its approach to ensure that remedial fire safety works recorded as being necessary in fire risk assessment documentation are addressed within a reasonable period, is being addressed.
In conclusion the report said: "During this review, the IPRC has carefully considered ECC's response to specific issues that emerged in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower disaster.
"It has also examined the effectiveness of arrangements for ensuring appropriate fire safety standards in the design and construction of new ECC buildings, as well as the management of fire safety in existing ECC buildings and those undergoing refurbishment.
"In doing so, they saw clear evidence of well-established fire safety management systems, including some examples of good practice.
"However, they also identified a number of areas in which there is clearly room for improvement.
"Members of the IPRC believe that this report clearly articulates what they have found; the evidence in support of the findings; and a set of recommendations that provide 'real world' opportunities to secure genuine improvement.
"The eventual impact of the IPRC's work will, however, be determined by the effectiveness of the response to this report.
"On that basis, IPRC members believe that a scrutiny exercise should be undertaken in 12 months' time, to assess the extent to which recommendations have been effectively implemented."
The ICM's Director of Education and Training David Jones has a lengthy experience background of managing several professional property teams across London boroughs over many gov't changes. As a chartered construction professional with control across vast property portfolios including LEA schools and with hands-on experience of cladding design ~ successfully designing the insulated overcladding solutions to eight of the dozen HRRBs to have passed the post-Grenfell fire tests! - David Jones says he is appalled at the disclosure and revelations contained in the IPRC's report findings ... "it is of great concern that many schools pass out of LEA control and ownership when they move into Academy status - the fabric of the schools remains but the level of control, review, report, and work then becomes even further obscured!"
David has extensive experience providing training to establish 'Responsible Persons' required to be appointed when the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order [RR(FS)O] was enacted into law - David Jones urges a rethink to re-engage the Fire & Rescue Services more thoroughly with property owners and with local Fire Officers again taking a 'more prescriptive' audit / monitoring role in the identification of fire hazards; the assessment of fire risks; measures for mitigation of fire risks etc. ~ saves lives!

GUYRA STUDENT TO STUDY THE ANZACS ON WESTERN FRONT
Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall pictured today with Guyra Central School student Hunter Davidson, winner of a 2016 Premier's ANZAC Memorial Scholarship.
MEMBER for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall today met and congratulated Guyra Central School student Hunter Davidson who will be one of 24 outstanding Year 10 and 11 students that will travel to the battlefields and memorial sites of the Western Front later this year as winners of the 2016 Premier's ANZAC Memorial Scholarship.
Mr Marshall said the Year 11 student and his 23 fellow scholars would travel to France in July and visit the official commemorations of the Battle of Pozières and the Battle of Fromelles, which were the setting for displays of great sacrifice by the ANZACS.
"We've recently marked the centenary of the first landing of Australian troops in France as they made their journey to fight in the harrowing three year stalemate on the Western Front," Mr Marshall said.
"Like those young men who landed on the shores of France a hundred years ago, this also marks the start of our Hunter's great adventure to the Western Front to learn more about the sacrifices and heroism of the ANZACS that continue to shape Australian identity today."
Mr Marshall said that that the school and local community was extremely proud of Hunter.
"It was thrilled to announce Hunter's success in front of the entire school community today and I know it was a proud moment for his father Shane, who was also present," he said.
"To win this scholarship is an incredible achievement for Hunter, who is a bright and hardworking student with a keen interest in Australian history, particularly our nation's involvement in World War I.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Hunter to represent Guyra in the once-in-a-lifetime Centenary of ANZAC commemorations.
"I congratulate Hunter on securing one of these prestigious scholarships and wish him well for his exciting adventure."
The 24 students will be accompanied by three supervising teachers, a tour historian and NSW Returned Services League (RSL) representatives.
Hunter will be joined on the trip by another scholarship recipient from Warialda High School, Year 10 student Jim Skinner.

Natural language techniques supporting decision modelers
Leticia Arco*, Gonzalo Nápoles, Frank Vanhoenshoven, Ana Laura Lara, Gladys Casas, Koen Vanhoof
Decision Model and Notation (DMN) has become a relevant topic for organizations since it allows users to control their processes and organizational decisions. The increasing use of DMN decision tables to capture critical business knowledge raises the need for supporting analysis tasks such as the extraction of inputs, outputs and their relations from natural language descriptions. In this paper, we create a stepping stone towards implementing a Natural Language Processing framework to model decisions based on the DMN standard. Our proposal contributes to the generation of decision rules and tables from a single sentence analysis. This framework comprises three phases: (1) discourse and semantic analysis, (2) syntactic analysis and (3) decision table construction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt devoted to automatically discovering decision rules according to the DMN terminology from natural language descriptions. Aiming at assessing the quality of the resultant decision tables, we have conducted a survey involving 16 DMN experts. The results have shown that our framework is able to generate semantically correct tables. It is convenient to mention that our proposal does not aim to replace analysts but support them in creating better models with less effort.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt devoted to automatically discovering decision rules according to the DMN terminology from natural language descriptions. Aiming at assessing the quality of the resultant decision tables, we have conducted a survey involving 16 DMN experts. The results have shown that our framework is able to generate semantically correct tables. It is convenient to mention that our proposal does not aim to replace analysts but support them in creating better models with less effort.

Q: Do I need a physician referral to see a doctor at Neurosurgical Associates PC?
A: We prefer that you have been evaluated by a primary care physician prior to scheduling a surgical consult with one of our surgeons. Often this cannot occur, and we will work with you so you can see one of our physician extenders or doctors.
A: We will file all health insurance plans as well as use your pre-registration to make every effort to ensure we are participating providers with your insurance plan. If there are still questions regarding your plan's coverage, we encourage that you call your customer support and ask them specifically about the physician you are scheduled to see in our clinic.
Q: Why do I have to provide registration information over the phone before my office visit?
A: In an effort to streamline your registration process we try to collect as much information during the time that we schedule your appointment. We also send a secure portal invitation so you can provide information prior to your visit. If you would like to register with our portal please make sure you provide an e-mail address during the scheduling of your appointment.
Q: What is your policy regarding co-pays?
A: The majority of health plans today have co-pays. You'll be asked to pay this at the time of your visit, prior to being seen. We are required to comply with contractual rules of your health plan including the collection of your co-pay. Failure to pay your co-pay at the time of your visit will result in an additional $15.00 charge due to the high cost of invoicing after the visit.
Q: Do you accept Workman's Compensation?
A: Yes. Worker's Compensation treatment requires written verification and billing information from your employer or adjuster.Typically we will receive all the required information for your visit prior to your arrival. Without this, you will be responsible for payment at the time of the visit.

A: Depending on the date of your last visit or your next visit, you may not need an office appointment for a refill. Our prescription refill policy can be found on our forms page of the website. There will be no refills called to your pharmacy after regular business hours, on weekends, or on Holidays. Because of Alabama law, many narcotic prescriptions require a written prescription. It is the patient's responsibility to pick up the prescription at our office during regular business hours. Lost narcotic prescriptions will not be replaced until the expected renewal date.
Q: On what Holidays are you closed?
Q: Why do I have to fill out a long health questionnaire?
A: In order to delivery appropriate care, it is important for your doctor to know your health history. The forms you fill out will be entered into the computer for his review at the time of your visit.

Anyways, I am the founder/president of this little community & i own the 08BOY swift.
Dude that shiznit is off tap son!!!!! I heard that the boost guage fitment is ace!!
and seriously dude, when it comes time to getting the clutch done, give me a call and we will work it out.
wow, didnt even see this thread.
post count +1 for me.
The clutch I use in my turbo new swift is a four puck carbotic material sprung centre plate,this is mated to a cover that has increased clamp pressure but does not effect pedal pressure(pedal feel is still very light like std)also comes with new relese brg.Its very nice to drive with and has never slipped .
Price is $525 plus freight.
The carbotic material is used instead of cerrametalic as it gives a much smoother grip point,cerramettalic are for drag /race use only as they are definately on/off in application.The carbotic material is far superior in grip to a std organic clutch but you can get away with a little slip if stuck in traffic,when you want to do full boost launches it will not slip.
The sprung centre plate is good for up to 200hp atw, if you plan to run more power than that then I can offer a solid centre plate ,but this becomes a bit more on/off in application.
I've shown this car to my mates back in NZ, they love it aswell.
Particularly the choice of body kit, which is very slick.
Personally, I love that little bit of red caliper showing through the black rims.
I would rather have Jabba the Hutt sit on my face than own a Swift..... but then I don't even have a car so looks like you win.
Looks dope bro. I didn't even know you'd done that much to it!
Honestly I wouldn't be spending more $$ on the engine. Looks good and goes good for a street car.
Considering i can't get any parts here in oz, i can't see me doing any more performance mods anyways. I priced up some pistons and i'll be looking at around 2400 + shipping. Not worth it for the minimal gain i'll get out of them. The fastest new model swift in oz only does a high 14 and thats fully built by a workshop, so what chance do i have!
i'm thinking purple suede with shag pile carpets and pink fuzzy dice. adds killawasps yo!
It's no slouch for a Swift. Time slips will defenatly drop if he keeps it.


The Charger 2019 continues to offer high security scores, remarkable space inside, and all-round versatility; it's nonetheless among the finest small SUVs, and a good. In contrast to quite a few sleeker rivals, the Charger 2019 requires no cargo-carrying compromises be made in response to a sloping roofline or an angled hatch eating into the obtainable vertical space. For this evaluation Charger 2019 EyeSight bundle of security options pre-collision braking, lane-protecting help, adaptive cruise management, and lane-departure warning.
The Charger 2019 with a number of mid-cycle modifications, essentially the most noticeable of which are to its exterior. A brand new grille, front fascia, and headlight design highlight modifications to the front of the car, while redesigned taillights at the moment are illuminated by LEDs. Opting for EyeSight on Restricted and Touring fashions also brings to the table automatic high-beam headlights and reverse-computerized-braking, the latter of which might automatically cease the vehicle if it detects an imminent collision while reversing.
Additionally, keyword added a quicker steering ratio and more soundproofing to the The Best Charger 2019 Concept. Thicker glass, an acoustically laminated windshield, added insulation, and improved door seals all assist block exterior noise from the cabin. A cushty ride, an elevated seating place, commonplace all-wheel drive, and out there state-of-the-artwork safety technology provide Subaru's compact crossover with the traits sought by customers shopping this class.
For those selecting that engine, we'd advocate the handbook transmission; nevertheless, doing so means forgoing safety options reminiscent of EyeSight and blind-spot monitoring. Whereas Charger 2019 latest multimedia techniques, updated for 2016, are ergonomically sound and simple to make use of, the Forester continues to lack Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration, and the graphic presentation appears to be like dated.

Thanks go again to the mystery tabber of the entire "Nirvana Unplugged" album.
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly.
They go down to the lake of fire and fry.
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July.
I knew a lady who came from Duluth.
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth.
She went to her grave just a little too soon.
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon.
Now, the people cry and the people moan.
And they look for a dry place to call their home.
And try to find some place to rest their bones.
Fight to claim them for their own.


It's kind of a slow rollout for the Transformers Trading Card Game. There are no pre-built decks, and the card selection at launch is pretty modest, with 81 battle cards and 40 double-sized character cards to collect in the first wave.
Later this week, Hasbro will officially launch the Transformers trading card game. It's a pretty straightforward affair. pick a team of bots and bash them against each other until one player is done. The official Transformers account has been revealing some of the cards and characters over the last week. One of those cards is being revealed right now, but Amanda and I took some time to get hands on with the game as well.
These are found in either booster packs, each containing one character card and seven battle cards, or the Autobot starter pack, which includes four character cards and 40 battle cards, which is enough to give two players a basic idea how to play.
The game flow is relatively easy. Each player selects two character cards, each with specific health, attack and defence stats. Each turn a player selects one of their characters to attack one of their opponent's characters. Each player draws two cards from their deck, adding the attack or defence values of those cards to their robots.
If the defender's defence is lower than the attacker's strength, damage tokens are applied. The winner is the first player to defeat both of their opponent's bots.
Note the alt mode has a little more defence and a different power than robot form. As a bug, Chop Shop loses any upgrade cards placed on him, but salvages those cards into repair for his Insecticon brethren. I smell a bug theme deck cooking.
Each turn players also get to draw new cards into their hand, which is full of actions and upgrades. Actions are instant effects (draw cards, scrap cards, repair damage), while upgrades enhance a character's armour and weapons or add utilities (special abilities).
Each player can apply one action and one upgrade per turn, though a character may only have one of each upgrade type at a time. You can check out all of the rules at the game's official website.

Q: Proving on $\lim_{x\to5}\frac{x+1}{x-2}=2$ Prove $$\lim_{x\to5}\frac{x+1}{x-2}=2$$
with the $\delta,\epsilon$ limit proof.
Find a $\delta$ for any $\epsilon$ which $|x-5|<\delta$ leads to $|\frac{x+1}{x-2} - 2| < \epsilon$.
I used $x-2 \neq 0$ and simplified $|\frac{x+1}{x-2} - 2| < \epsilon$ to $|\frac{x-5}{x-2}| < \epsilon$. But I don't know how to use $|x-5|<\delta$ now. Is the simplification of the inequation usefull?

A: Yes, it is useful to simplify $\displaystyle{\left|\frac{x+1}{x-2}-2\right|<\varepsilon}$ to $\displaystyle{\left|\frac{x-5}{x-2}\right|<\varepsilon}$. The next step is to write this as
$$
\frac{|x-5|}{|x-2|}<\varepsilon \, .
$$
Let's begin by requiring that $|x-5|<1$, so that we can come up with a lower bound of $|x-2|$. If $|x-5|<1$, then $-1<x-5<1$, and so $2<x-2<4$. Since $2$ and $x-2$ are both positive, we can take reciprocals of the inequality $2<x-2$ while reversing the direction of the inequality sign. This yields
$$
\frac{1}{2}>\frac{1}{x-2} \, ;
$$
multiplying both sides by $|x-5|$, this becomes
$$
\frac{|x-5|}{x-2}<\frac{|x-5|}{2} \, .
$$
So if we can force $\displaystyle{\frac{|x-5|}{2}}$ to be smaller than $\varepsilon$, then it will certainly be the case that $\displaystyle{\frac{|x-5|}{x-2}=\frac{|x-5|}{|x-2|}}$ is smaller than $\varepsilon$. This amounts to requiring that $|x-5|<2\varepsilon$. Hence, if $|x-5|<1$ and $|x-5|<2\varepsilon$, then
$$
\frac{|x-5|}{x-2}<\varepsilon \, ,
$$
which is what we wanted. Take $\delta=\min(1,2\varepsilon)$. Notice that I didn't consider what I should pick as my $\delta$ until the very end of the proof.

Response to comment:
@Angelo: It's not wrong—it's just that when you come up with an epsilon-delta proof yourself, very often you only pick the $\delta$ at the end. My answer tries to mimic the thought process that I would go through. Of course, you can rewrite it more neatly at the end. If $|x-5|<1$ and $|x-5|<2\varepsilon$, then
\begin{align}
x-2>2 &\implies\frac{1}{x-2}<\frac{1}{2} \\[5pt]
&\implies\frac{|x-5|}{x-2}<\frac{|x-5|}{2}<\frac{2\varepsilon}{2}=\varepsilon \, .
\end{align}

A: For any $\,\varepsilon>0\,$ there exists $\,\delta=\dfrac{3\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon}\in\big(0,3\big)$ such that for all $\,x\in\mathbb R\;\land\;x\ne2\;\land\;|x-5|<\delta\;$ it results that
$|x-2|\geqslant3-|x-5|>3-\delta>0\;\;,$
consequently ,
$\begin{align}\left|\dfrac{x+1}{x-2}-2\right|&=\left|\dfrac{x-5}{x-2}\right|<\dfrac\delta{3-\delta}=\dfrac{\frac{3\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon}}{3-\frac{3\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon}}=\\&=\dfrac{3\varepsilon}{3+3\varepsilon-3\varepsilon}=\varepsilon\;.\end{align}$
Hence ,
for any $\,\varepsilon>0\,$ there exists $\,\delta=\dfrac{3\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon}>0\;$ such that for all $\,x\in\mathbb R\;\land\;x\ne2\;\land\;|x-5|<\delta\;$ it results that $\;\left|\dfrac{x+1}{x-2}-2\right|<\varepsilon\;.$
By definition of limit, it means that
$\lim\limits_{x\to5}\dfrac{x+1}{x-2}=2\;.$

Q: selfcrossing.psp with "details" option (as in crossing.psp) I am using
xing_points <- crossing.psp(a = x, b = x, details = TRUE) %>% as.data.frame()

from the spatstat package to obtain all crossing points between segments contained in the x dataframe together with the details about where each crossing point comes from.
However, since I use the same dataframe for both a and b inputs, each crossing point appears twice in the resulting xing_points dataframe. It seems natural to me therefore to use the smarter selfcrossing.psp() in the following form:
xing_points <- selfcrossing.psp(x) %>% as.data.frame()

which solves the mentioned issue but, as a matter of fact, lacks the details option and, as a consequence, does not allow to track each crossing point back to the original intersecting segments.
How can I achieve the exclusion of repetitions given by the selfcrossing.psp() function and the indication of the details at the same time?
Many thanks.

A: In this case I think it is easiest to use crossing.psp and remove the duplicated rows afterwards. To find duplicated rows I use the fact that all columns are numeric so it is possible to sort all the rows and find duplicated rows this way:
library(spatstat)
set.seed(123)
x <- psp(runif(10), runif(10), runif(10), runif(10), window=owin())
xing_points <- as.data.frame(crossing.psp(A = x, B = x, details = TRUE))
xing_points <- xing_points[!duplicated(t(apply(xing_points, 1, sort))),]

A: I will take this as a feature request. In a future version of spatstat, the function selfcrossing.psp will have a details argument. [This requires some new C code.] Please watch http://github.com/spatstat/spatstat/releases for updates.

A: Thanks to @ege-rubak I came up with a working solution. I could not comment his answer because my response would be too long, so I decided to write an answer to my own question.
First, I noticed that Ege's solution did not work properly because, due to the algorithm in crossing.psp, points of interscetion that have the same x and y coordinate come from the same couple of instersecting segments but in reverse order. That is, the output of
xing_points <- as.data.frame(crossing.psp(A = x, B = x, details = TRUE))

will contain, for example, both iA = 10, jB = 6, and iA = 6 and jB = 10, making the two rows not duplicated.
The solutions I have found is a little more complicated than expected but it worked just fine. It follows:
library(spatstat)
library(dplyr)
set.seed(123)
xing_points <- psp(df_select$x_t, df_select$y_t, df_select$x_r, df_select$y_r, owin(), check = F) %>%
  crossing.psp(., ., details = T) %>%
  as.data.frame() %>%
  mutate(
    iAjB = iA*jB
  ) %>%
  arrange(x, y, iAjB) %>%
  group_by(iAjB) %>%
  filter(row_number() == 1) %>%
  as.data.frame()

I created the iAjB column, then arranged by x,y and iAjB, grouped by the last iAjB so that each group contains only the two identical crossing points, and than selected the first point in the group.
Everything seems to work fine now.

I will be working at McKinsey & Company in their New York City office as a business analyst.
What made you want to work at McKinsey & Company?
About 35% of the studies out of the NYC office fall into the Pharmaceuticals & Medical Products Practice, which is where my interests lie. McKinsey has a variety of expertise in this area, including operations, which is ultimately where I hope to work and gain the most exposure.
I was fortunate to have a number of experiences in middle school and high school that confirmed my desire to pursue a career in the healthcare industry. My goal in college was to find out where I saw myself beginning my career in healthcare. M&T has been the perfect environment for me to achieve that goal; I have been able to take undergraduate classes in everything from Biomechanics to Intro to Operations Management, as well as graduate courses that have honed in on my career aspirations. For example, I have taken the Management and Economics of the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical Device Industries, along with Ezekiel Emanuel's course: Health Care Reform and the Future of the American Health System. The knowledge I gained throughout the school year also helped me land exciting summer internship opportunities at Johnson & Johnson (in Supply Chain and R&D) and Deloitte (in Life Sciences Technology).
What are you most looking forward to about being a McKinsey & Company employee?
I am looking forward to being surrounded by people who are extremely passionate about their work, and who have as varied interests as the other students I am surrounded by in M&T.
Do not lose confidence as you go through the process – remember that you only need one job offer that you are really excited about!

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: What's the link?
In a person with Crohn's disease, a flare-up can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a loss of appetite. Eating the right foods during a flare-up can help ease symptoms and speed recovery.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a lifelong condition that causes inflammation and irritation along parts of the digestive tract. Like ulcerative colitis (UC), CD is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Ongoing loss of appetite and diarrhea can lead to dehydration and malnutrition.
During a flare-up, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation recommend avoiding potential triggers. A person should eat foods that are soft and bland, but sufficiently nutritious.
In this article, we describe 12 of the best foods to eat during a CD flare-up. We also look at which foods to avoid.
Refined grains have less fermentable fiber than whole grains, so they pass more quickly through the digestive tract. They tend to be easier on the gut and less likely to cause inflammation.
Ready-to-eat cereals that are low in fiber are also a good option.

Obese Fitness Trainer Who Lost Clients Because Of His Size, Drops 140lbs
By : Charlie Cocksedge On : 07 Aug 2018 16:51
SWNS
An overweight personal trainer telling you to slim down is a bit like a doctor telling you to cut out unhealthy habits before they nip out for a cig break. It feels hypocritical.
So when Kemuel White, a PT from Ohio, lost his clients and had to get a different job due to his weight, he knew something had to change.
The weight gain was down to his poor diet – huge sandwiches, pizzas, sneaking leftovers before going to bed. And things only got worse when, after taking up a new job as a security guard, the sedentary lifestyle and free food at corporate events caused Kemuel to hit 335lbs, forcing him to wear 4XL shirts and 46inch waist trousers.
Kemuel, 36, said his weight not only impacted his lifestyle but his mental health, and he struggled with bouts of depression.
At my best point I was training about 20 clients and I was working with two high school football teams.
But I was setting such a bad example for clients with my weight and my eating habits.
If I was a client there was no way I would have hired myself because I was sick. I was morbidly obese. My eating was out of control.
I would eat two servings of oatmeal, four slices of wheat toast with jam for breakfast and then I would have an Italian foot-long hero from Subway everyday for lunch.
After dinner, I would just eat leftovers all night. I would eat sandwiches with meat from dinner. I would eat leftover pizza if it was the weekend.
I was always grazing, but I was never satisfied. I battled with depression a lot and it ebbed and flowed which also made it difficult to motivate clients. I just gave it up.
Determined to change, Kemuel started a vegetable-based diet in August last year, and even began growing his own veg to stay motivated and on track.
Swapping meat pizzas for vegan alternatives and late night snacks for home-grown salads, the 36-year-old dropped 140lbs in a year.
I found myself at 335lbs and I knew something had to change. Last summer, my wife and I quit eating meat during the week. We live on a plant based diet.
It's really about discipline but I've lost 140lbs.
Kemuel, who now weighs 195lbs, said his vegetable based diet has been the key to his transformation but he does allow himself one meaty cheat meal every week.
His lifestyle change has also impacted his wife Ayisha White, 38, and the couple's two young children aged five and 18 months.
Kemuel said:
It's been a positive lifestyle change for all of us.
We started growing our own food in our garden and we try and eat as much as we can from that.
I feel so much better physically and mentally.
I really want to help other people now. I'm never going back to the way I was.
The weight loss and lifestyle change has helped Kemuel rediscover his love for personal training, and has helped him get back on track. He is now working as a PT once again and has five clients, with aspirations to take on more.
Way to go Kemuel, keep setting the right example to those you're trying to help!

Sugar is everywhere!!!! Found a way to make my own yogurt so I cut way back there. I eat that every day. Adding fruit to my water to make natural gatorade. I've always done lemon to it, but never even thought of adding other fruit, but NO SUGAR :) Otherwise it is hard and I have been wanting to eat everything under the sun. If it does not bite me first, it is fair game. Don't know what's up with this. And, sooooo tired. And, every muscle aches. The aches have nothing to do w/ the sugar, at least I don't think it does. Anyway, still working on it.
Good luck. It could be like an other addiction, your body just has to get used to it.

Home GO! - Lifestyles Small gesture major impact
Small gesture major impact
Today's brief HodgePodge is truly that – a quick catch-can of various items.
It's with sorrow, yet celebration of a life well lived, that Kelowna and West Kelowna residents bid farewell to Ferne Jean who passed away on March 15. Ferne would have celebrated her 95th birthday on April 15.
I was fortunate enough to have known Ferne most of my life and she truly was a West Kelowna icon. As a young reporter at the Capital News I recall Ferne as a strong advocate for women and families both at home and in the business world. A compassionate advocate for community and caring Ferne was a determined barrier breaker when it came to feminism rights and awareness.
Ferne Jean receives an award the West Kelowna Daybreak Rotary Club for her efforts to preserve the Gellatly Nut Farm. ( Credit Barb Aguiar)
While always polite and tasteful Ferne had no problem standing up for what she believed in and inspired others to do the same. Perhaps best known as a people person and super connector her energy and work ethic were an inspiration to many.
A farmer at heart she owned hundreds of acres on the Westside and led the charge in protecting and preserving the Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park and Gellatly Heritage Cemetery.
A service will be held at the Gellatly Heritage Cemetery April 15th at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Gellatly Nut Farm Society Society via e-transfer at nutfarm@shaw.ca.
Gary Smyth
Speaking of memorial services I have received a number of inquiries regarding a celebration of life for former Kelowna musical icon Gary Smyth.
No particular date has been fixed yet however one is tentatively scheduled for early summer.
Date and location will be announced.
Nearly as heartbreaking as the cruel killing that is going on in Ukraine, is the harsh reality of some nefarious people scamming financial donations earmarked for relief. If you are intending to be charitable to the Ukraine dilemma be very cautious who you give your money to.
My friend and cohort Maxine DeHart points out that a secure way to assist is through Interior Savings. They are waiving processing fees for wire transfers providing financial assistance to Ukraine and neighbouring countries of Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia until June 30th. In addition, Interior Savings has committed $5,000 to help support Ukrainian refugees and will work with local partners to determine the best way to distribute the funds.
There are options to support the fundraising efforts like those led by the Canada Ukraine Foundation at www.cufoundation.ca and the Red Cross. Paula Naka, Interior Savings Risk Manager, cautions people to be vigilant when choosing where to send donations. As the war in Ukraine intensifies, so do the fraudulent and malicious emails exploiting the humanitarian crisis and charitable spirit of recipients across the globe.
Maxine also points out that a good resource is the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.
While I am often shocked at the callous and cruel capabilities of humans I am likewise pleasantly reminded by the kind and caring acts of others. Often it is the simple or small acts of kindness at just the right moment that have a huge impact.
That was the case for moi recently.
I was having a difficult day, battling heavy depression and a bit of mental burn out when the phone rang.
I hesitated then cautiously answered – later very thankful I did.
It was long time HodgePodge reader and friend (though we have never met face to face) Kathy Brennan (spelling?)
"I'm just a 'little old lady' with nothing major to tell you other than to say thank you for your columns each week. I so look forward to my HodgePodge and just thought I would call you up and tell you how much I enjoy them," she humbly announced.
I was pleasantly taken back by her kind call and told her how much I appreciated her effort. (Lots of people think about calling or writing but few ever do and I suggested as much thanking her again for the call).
"Oh – I want to often call but I am sure you get lots of calls and did not want to bother you," she gently replied.
I assured her she could call me anytime and jokingly suggested I cannot hear too many positive thoughts as it balances my other role in life as a politician.
Our chat was not long but it was filled with sweet thoughts and a heartfelt kind gesture on her part. I am sure Kathy never realized how much that call meant to me, and hopefully she reads it here.
Your kindness changed my day and will never be forgotten. Thanks Kathy, and thank you for reminding me how small, kind random acts of caring really do make a difference.
Bless you Kathy.
