Q: How to fix this: Argument of type "const char*" is incompatible with the parameter of type "char** I am kinda new to C++, currently studying Computer Engineering. I am having problems with this program. I'm getting an error in the main() function:

argument of type "const char*" is incompatible with the parameter of type "char**"

on this line:
loan1.setPersonAndLoan(55000.00, 30, 0.04, "Andres Gomez", "(787)654-3423", "56666",
        "Calle Z #456 Fracc Hidalgo");

This is my whole code, if it helps:
Main:
#include "Mortgage.h"

int main() {

    Mortgage loan1;
    loan1.setPersonAndLoan(55000.00, 30, 0.04, "Andres Gomez", "(787)654-3423", "56666",
        "Calle L #456 Fracc Hidalgo");
    loan1.displayInfo();
    loan1.displayLoan();

A: Let me help you learn to fish.  Your error:
argument of type "const char*" is incompatible with the parameter of type "char**"

This is telling you that you have an argument to a function of type "const char*" that you're trying to pass into a function which is expecting a parameter of type "char**".
You mention that it's occurring on this line:
loan1.setPersonAndLoan(55000.00, 30, 0.04, "Andres Gomez", "(787)654-3423", "56666",
        "Calle Z #456 Fracc Hidalgo");

So I immediately start to suspect any parameters that are of type "const char*" (basically your string literals - they're "const" meaning they can't be changed).
Now I look at your function declaration (the body is unimportant at this point) for setPersonAndLoan:
void Mortgage::setPersonAndLoan(double l, int y, double r, char* n, char* p, char* id1, char* a)

And you indeed have a bunch of 'char *' parameters, not const char, which is probably why the error is occurring.
That said, the error you posted had "char **" which I'm wondering if it's a typo?

Follow this easy step-by-step recipe to make the best cookies ever.
Preheat oven to moderate 180C (160C fan forced). Line two flat baking trays with baking paper. Place the butter and the sugars into a bowl. Beat with electric beaters until light and creamy.
Step 1 Ensure butter is at room temperature for a creamy finish.
Add vanilla and egg, and beat to combine. Sift flour and baking powder and add to the mixture, stir to combine. Fold through choc bits.
Step 2 Add choc bits last so they mix in easily.
Roll heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls and place onto a lined baking tray. Flatten slightly then bake for 15-17 min or until pale golden.
Step 3 Flatten slightly with your fingers or use a fork.
Once the cookies have baked. Let them stand on the tray for 10 min, then when firm, cool completely on a wire rack before storing in a airtight container.
Step 4 Cookies firm on standing so cool them before moving.

Q: Java: Sorting text file lines I'm using eclipse and I'm trying to sort a text file with about 40 lines that look like this:
1,Terminator,1984,Schwarzenegger
2,Avatar,2009,Worthington
3,Avengers,2012,Downey
4,Starwars,1977,Hammill
5,Alien,1979,Weaver

I want sort them alphabetically by the second field so that the text file is altered to look like this:
5,Alien,1979,Weaver
2,Avatar,2009,Worthington
3,Avengers,2012,Downey
4,Starwars,1977,Hammill
1,Terminator,1984,Schwarzenegger

I'm fairly certain I should be doing something involving tokenizing them (which I've already done to display it) and a BufferedWriter but I can't for the life of me think of a way to do it by the second or third field and I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

A: You will first of course need to read a file, which you can learn how to do here.
Java: How to read a text file
This example will provide several ways you may write the file once you have sorted your data.
How do I create a file and write to it in Java?
As for sorting, I recommend creating a class Movie, which would look similar to
public class Movie implements Comparable<Movie> {
    private String name;
    private String leadActor;
    private Date releaseDate;

    public Movie(String name, String leadActor, String releaseDate) {

    }

    @Override
    public int compareTo(Movie other) {

    }
}

Ill leave it to you fill in the rest of the constructor and compareTo method. Once you have your compareTo method you will be able to call Collections.sort(List list) passing your list of Movie.
Here are some resources on implementing Comparable.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/collections/interfaces/order.html
Why should a Java class implement comparable?

A: Your comparator
class SampleComparator implements Comparator<String> {
    @Override
    public int compare(String o1, String o2) {
           String array1[] = o1.split(",");
           String array2[] = o2.split(",");
           return array1[1].compareTo(array2[1]);
   }
}

Your Sorting
String [] lines= {"1,Terminator,1984,Schwarzenegger",
                       "2,Avatar,2009,Worthington",
                       "3,Avengers,2012,Downey",
                       "4,Starwars,1977,Hammill",
                       "5,Alien,1979,Weaver"};
List<String> rowList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(lines));
Collections.sort(rowList, new SampleComparator());
for (String string : rowList) {
     System.out.println(string);
}

Your Output
5,Alien,1979,Weaver
2,Avatar,2009,Worthington
3,Avengers,2012,Downey
4,Starwars,1977,Hammill
1,Terminator,1984,Schwarzenegger

If you have any doubt on this let me know..

A: What you want to do is to use java.util.Comparator and Collections.sort. More on this can be found: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html

A: The String class has a very helpful static method called "split".  All you do is call split and put it in the delimiter and it gives back a String array with the split up string.
Here's an example:
String line = "How,Now,Brown,Cow";
String[] splitLine = line.split(",");
for(String l: splitLine)
{
    System.out.println(l);
}

The above code would print the following:
How
Now
Brown
Cow

Hopefully you can use this and adapt it to your problem.
Good luck!

A: Following @Tyler answer. You can have a default implementation in the Movie class and additional sort orders that you can implement by calling Collections.sort(movieList, new MyComparator()); Here comes an example of both.
package com.stackoverflow;

public class Movie implements Comparable<Movie> {
    private String name;
    private String leadActor;
    private String releaseDate;

    public Movie(String name, String leadActor, String releaseDate) {
        this.name = name;
        this.leadActor = leadActor;
        this.releaseDate = releaseDate;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getLeadActor() {
        return leadActor;
    }

    public void setLeadActor(String leadActor) {
        this.leadActor = leadActor;
    }

    public String getReleaseDate() {
        return releaseDate;
    }

    public void setReleaseDate(String releaseDate) {
        this.releaseDate = releaseDate;
    }

    @Override

    public int compareTo(Movie other) {
        return getName().compareTo(other.getName());
    }
}

And if you want to make your own comparator called on your collection:
package com.stackoverflow;

import java.util.Comparator;

public class MyComparator  implements Comparator<Movie> {

    @Override
    public int compare(Movie o1, Movie o2) {
        return o1.getLeadActor().compareTo(o2.getLeadActor());
    }
}

A: Try like this :--
ArrayList ar=new ArrayList();
String [] arr=new String[10];
int i=0;
try {
    Scanner sc=new Scanner(file);

    while (sc.hasNextLine())
    {
        String ss=sc.nextLine();
        i=i+1;
        arr[i]=ss;
    }
    ar.add(arr[5]);
    ar.add(arr[2]);
    ar.add(arr[3]);
    ar.add(arr[4]);
    ar.add(arr[1]);
    System.out.println(ar);
}

A: This solution uses Java 8 APIs.
You don't really need to have an explicit implementation of Comparator or create a Comparable class. Using Comparator.comparing with lambda we can elegantly sort lines by custom key.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class FileSortWithStreams {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Path initialFile = Paths.get("files/initial.txt");
        Path sortedFile = Paths.get("files/sorted.txt");

        int sortingKeyIndex = 1;
        String separator = ",";

        Stream<CharSequence> sortedLines =
        Files.lines(initialFile)
             .map(s -> s.split(separator))
             .sorted(Comparator.comparing(s -> s[sortingKeyIndex]))
             .map(s -> String.join(separator, s));

        Files.write(sortedFile, sortedLines::iterator, StandardOpenOption.CREATE);
    }
}

Age of Empires III er et RTS-spil og det fjerde spil i den populære Age of Empires-serie. I denne udgave skal man som en af otte europæiske stormagter kolonisere Amerika fra år 1500 til år 1850. Den forsætter i tidsalderen, hvor Age of Empires II slap. Spillet har en meget god grafik med et flot og detaljeret landskab.

Spillet er lige som de andre lavet af Ensemble Studios og udgivet af Microsoft Game Studios.

En ny ting i forhold til Age of Empires I og II er at kolonien, aperiodisk, kan få tilsendt forsyninger og reserver fra hjemlandet. En anden ting er at der rundt omkring på banen er havarerede hestevogne og kvinder i nød. Disse er bevogtet af vilde dyr eller desperados. Ved nedkæmpning af disse, vil man få adgang til nye opfindelser og taknemmelige nybyggere.

Der er også god mulighed for at spille over internettet, da der er rigtigt mange AoE fans over hele verden

De forskellige stadier man gennemgår:
 Discovery age – handelsstationer, vindmøller, bosættere.
 Colonial age – musketerer, husarer, kanonstøberier, karaveller, kirker.
 Fortress age – forter, dragoner, kanoner, kunstgødning, fregatter, plantager.
 Industrial age – fabrikker, stående hære.
 Imperial age – hovedstæder, flådeblokader, beskatning.

De otte civilisationer man kan styre:
 Spanien
 Tyskland
 Holland
 England
 Frankrig
 Portugal
 Rusland
 Osmannerriget

Desuden kan man, som i de tidligere spil, spille i et historiebaseret felttog.

Man kan også alliere sig med de indfødte; Maya-folket og mange flere indianere.

I 2006 kom udvidelsespakken Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs med mere fokus på indianerne:
 Irokeserne
 Siouxerne
 Aztekerne

I 2007 kom udvidelsespakken Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties, foregår i Østasien.
 Kineserne
 Japanerne
 Inderne
I 2020 kom udvidelsespakken Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition.

 Inkaerne

Goodreads Summary: Award-winning author and illustrator Ashley Spires has created a charming picture book about an unnamed girl and her very best friend, who happens to be a dog. The girl has a wonderful idea. "She is going to make the most MAGNIFICENT thing! She knows just how it will look. She knows just how it will work. All she has to do is make it, and she makes things all the time. Easy-peasy!" But making her magnificent thing is anything but easy, and the girl tries and fails, repeatedly. Eventually, the girl gets really, really mad. She is so mad, in fact, that she quits. But after her dog convinces her to take a walk, she comes back to her project with renewed enthusiasm and manages to get it just right. For the early grades' exploration of character education, this funny book offers a perfect example of the rewards of perseverance and creativity. The girl's frustration and anger are vividly depicted in the detailed art, and the story offers good options for dealing honestly with these feelings, while at the same time reassuring children that it's okay to make mistakes. The clever use of verbs in groups of threes is both fun and functional, offering opportunities for wonderful vocabulary enrichment. The girl doesn't just "make" her magnificent thing — she "tinkers and hammers and measures," she "smoothes and wrenches and fiddles," she "twists and tweaks and fastens." These precise action words are likely to fire up the imaginations of youngsters eager to create their own inventions and is a great tie-in to learning about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
My Review: Ashley Spires did an amazing job with this book. Her illustrations seem so simple, but really there is so much detail in each one. Amazing digital art. Also, Girl is a character after my own heart as a mom and a teacher. We need more kids like her. Kids who explore, invent, play outside, imagine, etc. I hope my son is like her.
Teachers' Tools for Navigation: The summary says a lot for me. This is a book that promotes innovation, imagination, perseverance, and experimenting. All things that are so important for kids to have and too often they are not nurtured. Innovation: Girl wants to make something new and magnificent. Imagination: Some of the odd items she makes actually do have a purpose, you just have to use your imagination. Perseverance: Girl almost gives up, but begins to realize that what she made may be exactly what she wanted to make in the first place. Experimenting: She tries to make so many different things for a variety of purposes. All of these themes could be discussed while reading the book with kids. The book also has amazing vocabulary, many of which are shared in the summary. A great way to discuss synonyms, descriptive language, and imagery.
Discussion Questions: Why did the girl never give up?; What are some of the words that the author uses to help you "see" and "hear" what the girl is doing?; Which of her inventions was your favorite? And what other ways could you use some of them?; Girl plans out her invention. What steps did she take to plan? What else could she have done?

Ryan Cawdor is a fictional Deathlands character that first appeared in the novel Pilgrimage to Hell by Jack Adrian.
Ryan's life
Ryan is the youngest son of a powerful baron in Virginia. His middle brother, Harvey, is responsible for the loss of Ryan's left eye after murdering Morgan, Ryan's eldest brother. Ryan's nephew, Nathan Freeman now controls the barony of Front Royal. Ryan was named after his great grandfather, the original founder of Front Royal.
He joined the Trader's convoy approximately ten years before the beginning of Pilgrimage to Hell, at the tender age of 21. Over the years, he climbed the ranks rapidly in Trader's convoy, soon becoming Trader's second-in-command. It was during this time that he met his best friend J.B. Dix, who joined Trader a little over a year later. Ryan is a master of many forms of combat, including knife fighting, and unarmed combat. He learned a great deal from both Trader and J.B.
Ryan was recently portrayed by Vincent Spano in the Sci Fi Channel original movie version of Homeward Bound.
Among other weapons, Ryan has carried a .357 Ruger Blackhawk revolver with a 6 inch barrel. As of the first novel he carried a SIG P226 with a built-in silencer, which he retains to the present. At that time he also carried a LAPA 5.56mm assault rifle, which he gave up in the second book for the G-12. His main weapon was a Heckler & Koch G12 - a fictional descendant of the G11, which fires caseless ammunition - but he...

The first of four falcon eggs hatched at the Briess Manitowoc nest site on Wednesday, May 17, 2017. We are crossing our fingers and hoping for another successful breeding season, as we wait in anticipation for the remaining three eggs to hatch over the course of the next few days.
Keep watching the LIVE Falcon Webcam for a glimpse of the baby eyasse.
You can see to the left of Valcor is a broken eggshell from the first eyasse hatching. Over time, Valcor will eat the eggshells to obtain much-needed calcium.
One of the most common questions we are asked is "will all of the eggs hatch?" Sometimes there is "egg failure" which can result from a number of factors including infertility, breakage, or weather. The female may push an egg that has failed to the side of the nest box. We are keeping our fingers crossed that all four eggs will hatch, but only time will tell.

Toi Derricotte is one of America's premier poets, the author of five collections of poetry and a memoir, most recently, The Undertaker's Daughter (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2011). The film chronicles Derricotte's history, growing up in Detroit, her first marriage to artist Clarence Reese, the birth of her son, Tony, her marriage to Bruce Derricotte and their move to New York, and, later, New Jersey. Then comes the story her creations, book by book. First came the Empress of the Death House (1978). Then Natural Birth (1983), Captivity (1989), Tender (1997), The Black Notebooks (1997), and The Undertaker's Daughter (2011). It also covers her career as a university professor—20-plus years at the University of Pittsburgh—and as a co-founder (with Cornelius Eady and Sarah Micklin) of Cave Canem in 1996. At the heart of the film is the story of her life fueling her creativity. The result is art. In the process we hear from Cornelius Eady, Desiree Cooper, David Bartholomae, Terry Blackhawk, Ed Ochester, Terrance Hayes, Naomi Long Madgett, Nicole Sealey, Tony Derricotte, Benjamin "Jay" Webster, Jr., Sister Kathleen Voss, Diane Samuels, and Henry Reese. With interlocutor Ron Primeau, Ph.D.
The film was made possible in part through support from the Michigan Humanities Council and the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. At the top of this page is an eleven-minute trailer…it's the start of the film. The total runs to a little less than two hours…maybe 15 seconds less. It's an intimate portrait of the poet and how she took all that has happened in her life–the good and the bad–and fashioned it into her own very personal art.
This is producer David Schock's third poetry documentary. The first was Jump Back Honey: The Poetry an Performance of Herbert Woodward Martin and the second was StarbyStar: Naomi Long Madgett, Poet and Publisher. All three poets are linked by Madgett's publishing, and a fierce determination to write their own stories and defy categories.
The film is offered at two-tiered pricing: $25 for individual and $200 for institutions. The institutional price reflect that the film is likely to be shown for audiences or loaned out. Here are the corresponding PayPal buttons.
There is an additional way to procure and view the film…better in some ways…through Vimeo on Demand. The positive thing about this method of film delivery is that it's pretty immediate…sure it will take time to download 18 gigs…but faster than the USPS. The second advantage is that this is delivered in full high definition , 1920x1080p. A DVD is standard definition. The downside is that the film is going to take up your hard-drive space.

Queen Elizabeth II said on Monday she had agreed to grant Prince Harry and Meghan their wish for a more independent life in which they will split their time between the UK and Canada.
The statement came after an urgent meeting at the Queen's Sandringham estate attended by high-ranking members of the British royal family.
The crisis talks were intended to resolve a rift in the royal family triggered by the announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted to step back from royal duties.
"Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family," the British monarch said.
The UK's head of state, 93, indicated she would have preferred the pair to remain working royals.
"Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family," she said.
The Queen announced the beginning of a transition period in which the Sussexes will spend some of their time in Canada.

Who will pick up the royal slack after Harry and Meghan's step back from Britain's royal family?
"Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives. It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK."
Last week's shock announcement by Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, exposed divisions in the Windsor family and prompted soul-searching over what it means to be royal in the 21st century.
The couple consulted neither the queen nor Charles before their announcement, made on Instagram and their own website, a step seen as impertinent and premature by a family whose roots go back through a thousand years of European history.
Meghan is currently in Canada with their infant son Archie. She had been expected to join Monday's discussion by telephone.
She and Harry say they want a "progressive" new role for themselves and financial independence, which could mean working in the United States, where Meghan is from.
But it is unclear how they will pull off a partial pullback from royal roles – which some media have dubbed "Megxit" in a play on Britain's tortuous Brexit departure from the European Union – or who will pay for their transatlantic lifestyle.
"These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days," the queen said in her statement.

Ruthable Productions
Ruthable Productions was established in 1999 to create and produce theatrical works, which explore a co-mingling of both contemporary dance and text based work. These theatrical works are not only to be honest and entertaining but also thought provoking.
The History of the Company
ICY BLUE Is it love? Is it passion? Is it obsession? Is it stalking? Join Isabelle on her comedic flight to find her bliss. The creator/producer of RUNNING OUT decided to go back to comedy for 2013 in this one-woman show, an integration of Aerial Dance, physical comedy and monologue.
For 2008 Ruth Baines returned to the Winnipeg Fringe Festival with RUNNING OUT, dueling stories of two women at opposite ends of the fertility scale. One dreams of babies, the other of saving the world. Through dance, laughter and tears can some balance be achieved before time runs out?
TANGLE, A web of conformity, confusion or just plain consternation this show has it all. This unique and exciting show blends three art forms: dance, aerial dance and theatre and first toured the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit in the summer of 2004. Tangle continues to the Edmonton Fringe and Vancouver Fringe in 2005.
Ruthable Productions took The Beat Goes On on the 2001 Fringe tour. The show received praise for the entertaining and educational delivery of the character's dramatic and traumatic discovery of heart disease.
In April of 2000 Ruthable Productions produced the 1st Annual Whine and Cheese Ball at the Cavern in Vancouver. The proceeds from this fundraising extravaganza aided in the second tour Fringe tour of SWF ...obo. Many thanks to all the sponsors, participants and attendees for their participation in this event. Fun, mayhem and frivolity were had by all (it was so much fun that the beer distributor laughed so hard he snorted beer out of his nose!).
Ruthable Productions first project, SWF ...obo was invited to the 1999 Alberta Dance Explosions in Calgary and successfully toured Canadian Fringe Festivals in 1999 and 2000 to critical acclaim.
Ruthable Productions is always looking for other venues for its productions so if you have any suggestions please contact Ruth Baines at: ruthbaines@hotmail.com.

Bridget Polk – The Rock Lady of New York
By Spooky onNovember 18th, 2010 Category: Art, Pics
Bridget Polk is a New York resident who came to be known as the "Rock Lady", by fellow New Yorkers who saw her amazing balancing rocks, on the banks of the Hudson River.
Polk, a 50-year-old personal assistant from the upper West Side, began experimenting with rock balancing about a year ago. The idea had been planted in her head a while ago, when a friend showed her the works of a rock balancing artist in Sausalito, and added that she probably couldn't do it herself. Competitive by nature, Bridget took the comment as a challenge and began practicing rock balancing, on her daily walks along the Hudson River.
She soon found that she had a natural talent for the art of rock balancing, and that it inspired her and people who laid eyes on her works. And that's understandable, because Bridget Polk's rock balancing skills are truly remarkable, enabling her to stack rocks in seemingly impossible positions, with their wide ends in the air, balancing on a tiny tip.
When she sees photographers and passers-by admiring her rock balancing masterpieces, Bridget admits she's tempted to walk up to them and say something like "I did that!", but she prefers to just stand back and observe people's reaction. Some of them knock down the rocks, to convince themselves they aren't glued together, but most of them just try to add to her work or build rock stacks of their own. Regardless of their reactions, Bridget Polk says she feels happy about making any kind of contribution to their daily lives.
The Rock Lady of New York will soon be leaving the Big Apple, to live with her partner, in Portland, Oregon, but she has made sure her rock balancing legacy will live on even after she's gone. She has been teaching some of her admirers the secrets of the art, and she's certain that with a bit of practice, they'll soon follow in her footsteps.

I joined The Ultimate Blogging Challenge on June 30.
I was supposed to post every day in July, but because of all the heatwave stuff happening, I didn't post the first three days.
Yesterday, I was asking for direction from my readers. One of the things I said was that there's already a lot of other information on Tarot and Oracle card reading out there, and I was having problems seeing what I could add to the cacophony.
Well, doesn't that put me in my place.
And the funny thing is, I know this. I've advised people on this, frequently.
I know I can't sing. I sing along to songs I like anyway.
I'm sure I'm not the best dancer, but when I feel like dancing, I do it.
I'm encouraging a friend to write regularly, even though he thinks he's not as good as authors he reads.
It's not about being the best in the world. It's about doing something you want to do – pursuing something you feel the need to do, whether or not you get recognition from the world.
And maybe your (my) unique voice can reach someone, help someone.
What do you like to do? What holds you back from doing it?
Previous Previous post: What direction now?
I don't let ANYTHING hold me back anymore, but for a long time, it was fear of failure, fear of success, fear of what other people would think, fear of… well, all sorts of things.
Now? I'm turning myself into an advocate for authentic self-expression and living consciously created lives!
When it comes to Tarot, there is never too much information. Your perspective maybe just what a new reader needs to make it really click before they give up on themselves as a Tarot reader!
Many, many years ago, back when I had a computer but no spreadsheet program on it (I know, don't fall over in shock), I wrote a BASIC program to mimic the calcs of a spreadsheet I'd seen (1985 Bill James Baseball Abstract, an early iteration of a career projection thing. The now famous Nate Silver's development of PECOTA is an evolution of that early spreadsheet). I never sent my spreadsheet to Bill James or the good people at a startup called STATS that had offices just down the street from my grandparents where I was spending the summer. Why? Because I didn't think it was "good enough". It worked, but it wasn't all "prettified". I focused on what it didn't have rather than what it did.
I sometimes wonder how different might life would have been had I sent that on.
Granted, everything's turned out pretty well and all, but even there…I can't tell you how many times I've done something at my current gig and thought "this? This is nothing. ANYBODY can do this!", only to other people it's a Big Deal, which means that I don't have to sit on streetcorners selling pencils and living in a van down by the river.
Do what you enjoy doing. Do it as well as you can. Don't be afraid to do it. realize that sometimes it won't work out well. Yeah, yeah, you've heard it all before. I've learned the hard way that if I *DON'T* do something I won't succeed, but if I do…I might. I know, I could fail, to.
Fear of failure. Kept me from going out with many girls in my youth, among other things. Thank god I got over it, otherwise I would be with my wife now.
Thank you, Gwynne! I've been admiring your purple hair for some time now. 🙂 I love what I've seen from you so far.
Shocked, shocked I tell you, that you didn't have a spreadsheet! But not surprised that you created one.


Grit can be defined as: "perseverance and passion for long-term goals." Winston Churchill hit the nail on the head regarding grit when he said, "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." More and more research is showing that intelligence is no longer the greatest predictor of success in school, work, and life.
If It Don't Make Dollars, It Don't Make Sense...Right?
There is a very real, very attainable balance of passion, purpose, and profit. With the right planning, proper execution and a solid team, you'll be surprised at what can be achieved.
Entrepreneurs are born, not made. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you will know it. It goes right along with confidence as a requirement for success in the startup world.
Though other people may think you are. It's a crazy thing for most people, this whole "I want to start my own company" business. There's no steady paycheck, no set framework for how to build it, and a huge risk that all of it will come crashing down. But for those of us bitten by the entrepreneur bug, all of that is worth it.

The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
"You gotta read this. It is the most exciting book about Pluto you will ever read in your life." - Jon Stewart"
When the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History reclassified Pluto as an icy comet, the New York Times proclaimed on page one, "Pluto Not a Planet? Only in New York." Immediately, the public, professionals, and press were choosing sides over Pluto's planethood. Pluto is entrenched in our cultural and emotional view of the cosmos, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, award-winning author and director of the Rose Center, is on a quest to discover why. He stood at the heart of the controversy over Pluto's demotion, and consequently Plutophiles have freely shared their opinions with him, including endless hate mail from third-graders. With his inimitable wit, Tyson delivers a minihistory of planets, describes the oversized characters of the people who study them, and recounts how America's favorite planet was ousted from the cosmic hub.

The Doom video games consist of first-person shooters in which the player controls an unnamed space marine also referred to as Doomguy. The player has to battle the forces of Hell, consisting of demons and the undead. In the games, the player's character will often go back and forth through hell. Doom II: Hell on Earth follows after the events in Doom, the player once again assumes the role of the unnamed space marine. After returning from Hell, the player finds that Earth has also been invaded by the demons, who have killed billions of people.[1]
Development and history
The development of the original Doom started in 1992, when John Carmack developed a new game engine, the Doom engine, while the rest of the id Software team finished the Wolfenstein 3D prequel, Spear of Destiny.
Doom II: Hell on Earth was released in 1994, followed by two other official releases based on its version of the Doom engine: Master Levels for Doom II in 1995, and Final Doom in 1996.
Doom 64 was released in 1997, developed by Midway Games and supervised by id Software.[2]
Doom 3 was announced in 2000. A reboot to the original Doom, it uses new graphics technology. Doom 3 was hyped to provide as large a leap in realism and interactivity as the original game and helped renew interest in the franchise when it was released in 2004. Doom 3 had its own expansion pack released in 2005, titled Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil.
After the Doom 4 project development was scrapped in 2013, id Software's Tim Willits said that the next game in the Doom series was still the team's focus, but it has not been confirmed to be titled Doom 4.[3] It was later renamed to simply Doom in 2014. The game became a second reboot of the series, rather than a continuation or origin story of earlier games and was released in 2016.[4]
A sequel to the 2016 reboot, Doom Eternal was announced in 2018.[5]
A set of four novels based on Doom were written with permission of id Software by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver. The books, listed in order, are titled Knee Deep in the Dead, Hell on Earth, Infernal Sky and Endgame. All were published between June 1995 and January 1996 by Pocket Books. The unnamed Marine is called "Flynn Taggart" or "Fly" in the novels. The first two books feature recognizable locations and situations from the first two games.
In 2008, a new series of Doom novels by Matthew J. Costello, an author who had worked on the story and scripts for Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil, were published. The series of books aim to novelize the story of Doom 3, with the first installment, Worlds on Fire, published on February 26, 2008.[6] The second book in the series, Maelstrom, was released in March 2009.[7] A comic book was issued in May 1996, produced by Tom Grindberg of Marvel Comics as a giveaway for a video game convention.
In 2005, a board game resembling the classic Space Hulk was released, entitled Doom: The Boardgame.[8] For the 20th anniversary of the series, the Game-Art-HQ community created an art tribute with 20 illustrations of the characters from the game.

In 1996, Next Generation ranked the series as the 19th top game of all time, for how "despite the hundreds of copycat titles, no one has ever been able to equal id's original, pulsing classic."[57]
The series' unnamed protagonist, a marine, has had a mostly positive reception. In 2009, GameDaily included "the Marine" on its list of "ten game heroes who fail at the simple stuff" for his inability to look up and down in the original series.[58]UGO Networks ranked him fourth on its 2012's list of best silent protagonists in video games, noting his courage to continue in silence even when he faces the Hell's army.[59] In 2013, Complex ranked Doomguy at number 16 on its list of the greatest soldiers in video games for being "the original video game space marine" and "one of the classic silent protagonists".[60] Both CraveOnline and VGRC ranked him the fifth most "badass" male character in the video game's history.[61][62]

Thank you for the inspiring article about how a Lost Boy of Sudan became a postdoctoral fellow in humanitarian health ["Purpose Found," Fall 2018].
As one who works in public health with refugees, I was encouraged to see a story of redemption and hope coming from such horrific circumstances.
As an active user of Twitter and other social media platforms, I see value in these modes of communication [Fall 2018's Open Source on social media and public health], but nonetheless worry about the asymmetry between the rapid spread of misinformation on social media and the slow response mechanisms in the academic community, particularly in scientific journals.
For example, a March 2018 paper in the journal Reproductive Health purported to estimate the contraceptive effectiveness of the Daysy device, essentially a smart thermometer, as 99.4 percent effective. The analysis was fatally flawed (as detailed in a commentary I published in the same journal in June 2018), but the inaccurate statistic has spread on social media with alarming speed, potentially misleading people into believing that a fancy thermometer is as effective at preventing pregnancy as an IUD.
Seriously flawed papers should be retracted swiftly to minimize the various impacts of erroneous work, but to date, no action to correct the scientific literature on this paper has taken place. Unfortunately, many retractions occur slowly, never happen at all, or provide scant information. When misinformation is permitted to linger in the scientific domain, it compromises our ability to help people understand their health care options. What are scientists concerned about the viral spread of misinformation to do in these situations?
In a recent vaccination campaign in Indonesia, I found that the spread of anti-vaccine information via social media is more aggressive than pro-vaccine. It makes a lot of people refuse to be vaccinated.
On the other hand, posts promoting a healthy lifestyle and clean environment also spread quickly. I think of social media as a tool I can use to make a positive impact.
It was interesting to note the similarities between victims of climate gentrification ["Flood of Injustice"] and Pacific Islanders. They contribute the least to climate change yet feel its detrimental impacts significantly, as I've learned in consulting for the WHO and for Oxford University. Indeed, Pacific Islanders may have to relocate to other countries—in effect, become climate change refugees. That poses a dilemma because the UNHCR's definition of refugees does not include climate change.
Many implications of climate change like climate gentrification have not yet been examined but are slowly coming to the forefront. Thank you for sharing this angle.
My hometown has always been poor and has always been neglected—you have no idea how many people I knew in Baltimore who didn't know Maryland went west past Hagerstown or even Frederick—but it did OK until the opioid/heroin epidemic. Now I don't really recognize it anymore to be honest. I was happy to see the work of Danielle German (a classmate of mine!) featured [in "Then Comes Hope," Fall 2018] along with the stories of how this resilient community is confronting the problem.
Thanks for the article "Blood, Data and Tears" [Fall 2018].
I am humbled to have been one of the initial staff that worked closely with Frank, John and Tom (Quinn) and the communities that together were essential in getting this significant data effort [the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study] going.
I'm writing because the stories of MACS are the transformational stories of how a pioneering environment (and leadership) began and thrived at Hopkins. How did the second floor of Carnegie come to host an evening clinic of 1,200 gay men—and begin a commitment to a pioneering clinical effort (at the Moore Clinic)? This is just one of the many stories. Others include the all of the institutional "accommodations" that were made—at Frank's insistence. There's also a darker story of blind institutional growth that includes all the of underbelly aspects of how academic politics drives and divides the almost endless stream of research dollars.
I encourage you to continue to collect all of the stories and histories, published or not, from current (or not) staff. (I'll reserve the former topic should I reincarnate as a journalism fellow, someday).


In fact, Blues boss Maurizio Sarri confirmed he had a near-fully clean bill of health, saying: "At the moment we have no serious injuries.
"I think every player will be able to play but of course I have to see the last training session."
"We have to win the titles and we didn't win the titles to be best team in Europe."

World Identity Network
Blockchain for Humanity: Turning Invisible Children into Invincible Ones
Global Campaign "Blockchain for Humanity"
Blockchain Solutions to Combat Child Trafficking
To identify and assess new blockchain-based approaches to the challenge described, the World Identity Network partnered with several United Nations agencies and launched a Global Challenge that seeks to source blockchain technology solutions to combat child trafficking.
This open call for ideas and contributions invited companies, academia, civil society and non-governmental organizations to submit their proposals to combat child trafficking using blockchain-based solutions. The proposed solutions were expected to offer a method for securing identity data around a blockchain-based platform, making an immutable record of the actual or attempted transfer across a border of a minor without parental permission. For the Challenge, we limited the focus to Moldova – the poorest country in Europe and a prime source country for victims of human trafficking .
The terms of the Challenge also required proposed solutions to properly identify and address concerns over the privacy of the personally identifiable information (PII). This included a requirement to posit the frameworks that must be in place for digital identity management. The submissions by interested parties were made online, through the United Nations' UNITE Ideas platform.
As the Challenge organizers, we acknowledge that technology itself cannot magically undo economic, political or cultural hurdles related to human trafficking eradication. There are no illusions that submissions to the Challenge will provide a silver bullet to resolve global human trafficking. What the Challenge does offer is an opportunity for widespread collaboration in leveraging modern technologies, such as the blockchain, to develop a potential solution to a critical element of the problem: a secure access to self-sovereign identities.
This campaign is the first of its kind on a global stage. It has allowed open source developers and the broader blockchain community to become an invaluable resource to the United Nations and its partners in developing innovative, high-impact applications that can accelerate humanitarian responses. Thanks to the launch of this campaign, the United Nations UNITE Ideas platform has also become a much more visible and attractive platform to be used by development partners. With 50,000+ visits from over 170 countries, the platform is now seen by many UN agencies as an innovative way to promote an idea or crowdsource solutions to humanitarian challenges.
The campaign has received global recognition when nominated to the D&AD Impact Awards, which celebrate world-changing ideas, and became a finalist in the most transformational Civic Engagement category.
Most importantly, the campaign has had a practical and tangible impact by causing the launch of the world's first pilot that uses blockchain to prevent child trafficking, becoming a reference case-study for Thomson Reuters Foundation.

It is stated that SpyPhoneTap does not need constant internet connection. However, if the target phone is not connected to Internet, all the reports are sent with a significant delay. It is simply unacceptable, if you need to know what a targeted person is doing at this very moment.
You can track a location of a target person with SpyPhoneTap. But unless you have a premium package subscription, you will just see the location of a phone to the closest cell tower. Such coordinates are not very precise.
There is no blocking features, so you won't be able to prevent your child from accessing undesirable web content and installing questionable apps.
If you face any problems with the software or have questions, the best way to reach the company is by sending them an online request. However, it may take a couple of hours (or even days) to get a reply. There is also a contact phone, which does not work.
Regardless of your phone model, you can choose from three subscription packages: Basic, Pro and Full Pack. The prices start from $149 and go up to $449. The license is given for a lifetime. However, if the app does not work or is not compatible with a phone for any reason, you just waste your money. Furthermore, you can find more affordable apps on the market.
Possibility to reboot a phone remotely.
Deficient set of features in comparison to some competitors.
The app supports Android, Blackberry, iOS, Symbian and Windows mobile OS.
SpyPhoneTap can be a good choice for those who can spend a fortune on quite an average monitoring app. Yes, you will get a lifetime subscription, but in case of technical difficulties, it will be hard to fix the app or get your money back. Therefore, it is up to you to decide.

Detective Nick D'Amato has always been content with his lack-of-commitment love life. For a gay cop in the don't ask-don't tell N.Y.P.D., free and easy always seemed the least complicated route. William, the new man in his life, has Nick rethinking his priorities. Both men are stubborn, neither willing to compromise, until a serial slasher enters their lives. A growing stack of dead bodies has the police running in circles, sending Nick and Will into a nightmare that could change their lives forever.
Detective Sam Nielson has always been a casual, no strings type of guy. He loves New York City and the diversity of men it offers him. He also loves his job in South Bronx's forty-first precinct, affectionately nicknamed 'Fort Apache' for its violent history. Sam's caught off guard when handsome detective Bobby Rodriguez transfers to Fort Apache. The two are immediately thrown together on a high profile murder investigation. Their fast brewing passion makes concentrating on work difficult. But first they have to survive the murderer they're been tracking, who's now after them.
Captain Gil Gates is a proud member of the N.Y.P.D. and enjoys his position running a North Bronx precinct. When an incident with grave repercussions rocks the department and the whole community, Gil's otherwise spotless record is suddenly in jeopardy. Brian Knight is Channel Nine's star news reporter, following the most exciting story the Bronx has seen in quite some time. In his line of work as in Gil's, being gay no big deal unless someone finds out about it. Brian offers something the department can't—something that's been missing from Gil's life for too long. If only he can clear his name, and solve a double homicide while he's at it.
