Q: Mathematical expression when using arrays (Java) The problem is the following: I need to make an Java program that gives you random numbers (e.g. 1 2 3) and after that it needs to give random operators (e.g. + *).
Well, I have got that part, but how do I check that answer with Java code. The answer should be 7.
The following code is the problem:
    String operations[] = {"+ ","- ","* ","/ "};
    System.out.println("How many digits?");
    int times = scan.nextInt();
    this.times = times;
    this.operation = new String[times-1];
    this.digits = new int[times];

    for (int i = 0; i < times - 1; i++)
    {
        operation[i] = operations[rand.nextInt(4)];
        System.out.print(operation[i]);
    }

    for(int i = 0; i < operation.length; i++)
    {
        System.out.print(digits[i]+" ");
        System.out.println(digits[i] + operation[i] + digits[i]);         //first digit + - * / the first digit
    }

Hopefully these snippets are a bit clear. What I want to do is to get random digits and operators. After that I want to run the expression.
Hope you can help me.

A: Here is an answer that allows multiple operands and respects order of operations, unlike any of the others that are currently here.
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class Expression {
    private List<Integer> operands;
    private List<Character> operators;

    public Expression(List<Integer> operands, List<Character> operators) {
        this.operands = operands;
        this.operators = operators;
    }

    public Expression subExpression(int fromIndex, int toIndex) {
        return new Expression(
                operands.subList(fromIndex, toIndex),
                operators.subList(fromIndex, toIndex - 1));
    }

    private int rightMost(char operator) {
        return operators.lastIndexOf(operator);
    }

    public double evaluate() {
        if (operands.size() == 1) {
            return operands.get(0).doubleValue();
        }

        if (rightMost('+') > -1){
            return subExpression(0, rightMost('+') + 1).evaluate()
                + subExpression(rightMost('+') + 1, operands.size()).evaluate();
        }
        if (rightMost('-') > -1){
            return subExpression(0, rightMost('-') + 1).evaluate()
                - subExpression(rightMost('-') + 1, operands.size()).evaluate();
        }
        if (rightMost('*') > -1){
            return subExpression(0, rightMost('*') + 1).evaluate()
                * subExpression(rightMost('*') + 1, operands.size()).evaluate();
        }
        if (rightMost('/') > -1){
            return subExpression(0, rightMost('/') + 1).evaluate()
                / subExpression(rightMost('/') + 1, operands.size()).evaluate();
        }
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        StringBuilder toReturn = new StringBuilder();
        for (int index = 0; index < operands.size(); index++){
        toReturn.append(operands.get(index));
        toReturn.append(" ");
        toReturn.append(
                index == operators.size() ? "=" : operators.get(index));
        toReturn.append(" ");
       }
       toReturn.append(evaluate());
       return toReturn.toString();
    }

    public static Expression makeRandom(
        int minimum, int maximum, int numberOfOperands) {
        Integer[] operands = new Integer[numberOfOperands];
        Character[] operators = new Character[numberOfOperands - 1];
        for (int index = 0; index < numberOfOperands; index++) {
            operands[index] = minimum
                        + (int)(Math.random() * (maximum - minimum + 1));
        }
        for (int index = 0; index < numberOfOperands - 1; index++) {
            operators[index] = "+-*/".charAt((int)(Math.random() * 4));
        }
        return new Expression(Arrays.asList(operands), Arrays.asList(operators));
    }

    public static void main (String[] args){
        System.out.println(makeRandom(1, 10, 6));
        System.out.println(new Expression(
                Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3), Arrays.asList('+', '*')));
    }
}

The main is just here for a quick and dirty test.  Here is the output from one run of it.  As you can see, 1 + 2 * 3 gives the correct answer - no other answer that is currently on this page gets this right.
10 / 5 / 6 * 9 + 9 * 1 = 12.0
1 + 2 * 3 = 7.0

I've made evaluate return double to avoid any nasty surprises with integer division.  This could easily be changed if necessary.  Also, there's no error handling here - there are a few methods that should do some error handling on their parameters, and something really should be done about capturing division by zero.
This works by splitting an expression into smaller subexpressions, evaluating each recursively, then bringing them back together.  The magic is in the order of the operations in the evaluate method.  The different operators have to be treated in this order, for these reasons.

*

*+ has to be considered before -, so that a - b + c parses as (a - b) + c, not a - (b + c).

** has to be considered before /, so that a / b * c parses as (a / b) * c, not a / (b * c).

*+ and - both have to be considered before * and /, so that * and / are evaluated first.

*Subtraction has to work from right to left, so that a - b - c parses as (a - b) - c, not a - (b - c).

*Division has to work from right to left, so that a / b / c parses as (a / b) / c, not a / (b / c).

*Addition and multiplication could be done from left to right or from right to left, but having written the rightMost method, it made sense to do them from right to left.

A: This would check if the equation you generated results in 7 or not
int result = digits[0];
int i=0;

for(i=0;i<times-1;i++)
{
    String operation = operations[i];

    if(operation.equals("+") result += digits[i+1];
    else if(operation.equals("-") result -= digits[i+1];
    else if(operation.equals("*") result *= digits[i+1];
    else if(operation.equals("/") result /= digits[i+1];
}
if(result==7) System.out.println("You got the correct answer ie 7");
else System.out.println("You got "+result);

EDIT: just corrected a typo.

A: You can use a switch statement and do something like this:
switch(operations[i]) {
    case "+": number1 + number2; break;
    case "-": number1 - number2; break;
    case "*": number1 * number2; break;
    case "/": number1 / number2; break;
}

A: You can try something like this:
    String operations[] = {"+", "-", "*", "/"};
    int idx = new Random().nextInt(operations.length);
    String random_operator = "/";
    int int_1 = (int) (Math.random() * 100);
    int int_2 = (int) (Math.random() * 100);

    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
    int result = 0;
    if (random_operator.equals("*")) {
        result = int_1 * int_2;
        System.out.println(int_1 + random_operator + int_2);
    } else if (random_operator.equals("+")) {
        result = int_1 + int_2;

        System.out.println(int_1 + random_operator + int_2);
    } else if (random_operator.equals("-")) {
        if (int_1 < int_2) {
            result = int_2 - int_1;
            System.out.println(int_2 + random_operator + int_1);
        } else {
            System.out.println(int_1 + random_operator + int_2);
            result = int_1 - int_2;
        }

    } else if (random_operator.equals("/")) {
        if (int_1 < int_2) {

            result = int_2 / int_1;
            System.out.println(int_2 + random_operator + int_1);
        } else {
            result = int_1 / int_2;
            System.out.println(int_1 + random_operator + int_2);
        }

    }

    if (s.nextInt() == result) {
        System.out.println("Correct answer");
    } else {
        System.out.println("Wrong answer");
    }

Please note that i have considered only integers in above example.

Give a voice to the voiceless!
If you watch "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," you already know what a tale of racist horror show their European vacation turned out to be.
I generally do not write in the first person. I find it to be lazy, narcissistic and stupid. Despite its uselessness, however, first-person narrative is popular and widespread. Also, I believe it may be contributing to the dumbing down of America.
Because I am writing about the Kardashians and for all of the reasons I just named, first person feels germane to this exercise.
An anecdote to illustrate my relationship to the Kardashians seems appropriate: Three years ago, I found myself in a Spanish-speaking country in South America. By some chance, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" came on television in my hotel room, which only had about 12 channels. Only one of those dozen was in English.
I had just finished about 20 hours of air travel, and I was not about to venture out into the questionable night air in an effort to secure victuals for the evening. Instead, I readily decided that room service and trash TV were very much the order of the day. I decided it was a perfect time for me to sit back and get better acquainted with the Kardashian phenomena. During a commercial break, I found out that the episode was simply one part of an ongoing Kardashian weekend marathon. Determined to fully embrace my inner ugly American traveling in a foreign land, I settled in for an evening with the Kardashians.
In the end, it was too much. I made it through 11 minutes of one episode before switching over to what I think was the Spanish-speaking Weather Channel. I proceeded to get very drunk off Bailey's Irish Cream — which is a very hard thing to do — and watched satellite images of storm clouds as they made their way across local weather maps.
I got drunk for me that night, but also, I got a little drunk for America because I was sad for it.
What I am saying is that I do not watch "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." My curiosity does not ebb and flow with the changes of the season or a lunar cycle. Instead, I remain at a constant level of disinterest, but what chipped away at the ice surrounding my cold, dark unloving Kardashian heart was this most recent episode of "KUWTK" (as the kids abbreviate it).
Reports surfaced back in late February that Kim and her mother, Kris, had a terrible time while abroad. This night's episode was to be the unveiling of the footage from that ill-fated trip.
Let us first become better acquainted their reason for travel: The Vienna Opera Ball, or Wiener Opernball as it is known, has been held regularly since 1935, with the exception of World War II, and is one of the highlights of the social calendar for the city's upper crust. The event marks the beginning of ball season for the citizens of Vienna. Held in the opera house itself, building crews take the seats out of the auditorium and build a new level floor on top of the existing one, because the existing one slopes. Needless to say, the whole thing is pretty awesome.
Kim was the ball guest of Richard Lugner, an Austrian billionaire now in his 80s who made his money in real estate. Each year, Lugner hires a celebrity to visit his shopping mall, which is called Lugner City. He then brings the celebrity as his guest to the Vienna Opera Ball. Though he has been doing it since 1991, this move has been criticized as being too nouveau riche for the ball. In the past, his escorts have included Dita Von Teese and Carmen Electra.
Billionaire building magnate? Guy who likes to name stuff after himself? Nouveau riche? Does every country have its own Donald Trump?
Kim Kardashian's attendance would not be wildly out of the ordinary at such an event. However, showing up with a reality-TV camera crew in tow and a whole bevy of press would certainly be enough to disturb the regular partygoers and create a carnival-like atmosphere at this formal occasion.
So, I wondered, would Viennese society shun the Harlot of Glendale and her mother, or would they rise to the challenge of that evening's spectacle and deliver on the crazy?
I promise that I would would not be writing this article, if they had not fully delivered a racist hat-trick of insanity upon the unsuspecting Kardashians:
To start things off in a move that falls somewhere between collusion and prostitution, Kim was reportedly paid $500,000 to be Lugner's guest at the ball. This did not make its way into the episode, but it sets the tone for their entire trip.
The evening of the ball, Kardashian was accosted by a man in full black face, wearing a white tuxedo and gold chains, calling out to her, "Kim, it's me. It's me, Kanye," in a thick German accent.
You can see her kind of lose her shit over it in the video below.
The world's worst Kanye impersonator later apologized on Facebook in an entry in which he kind of made it sound as though Kim's date for the evening, Lugner, had actually planned it as a sort of weird surprise for Kim and alluded to the fact that he had gotten into the ball for free because of an agreement he had with ball organizers.
Later on during the evening, an Austrian TV host interviewing a random party guest, who is thanking Kim for coming to the ball, asks the excited partygoer if he is going to dance later, he excitedly replies, "We're going to dance … we're going to wait for Niggas In Vienna."
The interviewer quickly slips into German, but you can see the reaction from Kim was not good.
The coup d'grace of the whole episode was unfortunately not caught on camera. It came at the end and was really a bit of a shock. Kim recounts being accosted on the plane ride back to the States. Holding her child, North West, in her arms, the progeny of Kanye was reportedly acting fussy, so a fellow passenger went on a tirade.
According to Kim, the crazy woman yelled, "She's with a black guy and that baby is black, and you need to shut that black baby up," adding that she had a "sex video with a black guy."
Kris Jenner, from whose vagina Kim was birthed, told viewers during the episode that of their trip she had "never been so disrespected."
I think that taken at face value that seems like a pretty honest answer, but I also have to consider that she is a fairly terrible person, so it is hard to tell. I bet that she probably gets disrespected alot.
So thank you, Austria. With all of your folksy racism and horny octogenarian billionaires, you were well represented in this episode. You make America seem not so bad, and you proved that if a whole nation joins together, it is possible to drive the Kardashians out of your land, never to darken your doorstep again. Your method of eradication was questionable, but precise.
The Kardashians likely will not be returning to Vienna anytime soon, but I can promise that if they do, they can count on at least one more viewer for that night's episode.

Greenfield: A Town with Heart and History
Leaving Wilmington Vermont at 2:37 p.m., my ride took me through sleepy hamlets and through beautiful valleys, with fields of corn swaying in the slight breeze. The mountains also continued to frame my ride and the rolling hills allowed me to see beautiful country vistas. The signs on Massachusetts Route 112 proclaimed that this road was a "scenic byway" and indeed it was.
At 3:26 p.m., after driving 29.4 miles, I pulled into downtown Greenfield to see my last hotel of the day. I wasn't sure what to expect after being in beautiful Wilmington. From my Grandfather's letter, he surely did not have a good time in Greenfield. But what would my 2019 experience be like compared to his 1929 experience? I would soon find out.
I knew from my research that the Mansion House had burnt down in a huge fire in January 1959. This hotel was located on the north side of Main Street in Greenfield, just west of where the public library is currently located. Prior to its burning down, this spot had always had some sort of inn/tavern/hotel on it, much like Pittsfield and North Adams. Originally, there was a tavern on the spot that was built around 1720. Then, a brick building was built in 1828. This served as both a stagecoach stop and a hotel. When railroads became more popular, the stage coach stop ceased being used, but the hotel still remained popular. The building was demolished after the fire. From pictures of the hotel, it was a large brick structure on a corner. There appeared to be shops on the bottom floor and about three floors above the ground floor. Initially, I wasn't sure where the hotel was actually located until I found this wonderful brochure on a walking tour of downtown historic Greenfield (http://www.greenfieldsfuture.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Greenfield-Historic-District-Walking-Tour.pdf) By looking at this information, it was clear to me that Greenfield seemed to be a city that treasures its history. While we often flock to cities and towns that are perceived to being important historically, it is equally important to note that every town and city has its own history and stories to tell. So, judging by this historical information, Greenfield want the stories of its history told. (and this sign was seen outside the Unitarian Universalist Church on Main Street in Greenfield). Using the information in this brochure about the Mansion House, I set east on Main Street to find the location of where the Mansion House had been located.
It was in the 90s as I walked up the road about a 1/4 from the public parking lot. There were people out and about, eating ice cream at an outside shop and just strolling along leisurely on this hot afternoon. Quickly, I was at the Greenfield Savings Bank, which now occupies where the Mansion House once was. As I sat on the wall outside the bank, I could look across the street to a movie theater, named the Garden. In my Grandfather's letter, he wrote "This evening Frank suggested right after dinner that we go to the theater to see Thomas Michigan in the Argyle Case and that there would be a half-hour of organ music before the show. All that organist played was lonely and blue music, which made me feel worse and I somehow hoped that he would stop playing. The picture was very good, so that amused me for awhile, but after the show, I am worse than I have been all day long."
What was great about Greenfield's celebrating their history was that there was also a historical plaque on the sides of buildings. To me, this shows pride in telling their story and for people to realize that each building or each spot does have a story to tell.
And here's a little more about the history of the Mansion House:
Before heading back on the road, I wanted to explore a little more of this town as well as, yes, get one more ice tea. The town had a lot of interesting buildings, architectural wise. What was also interesting was the town's commitment to social justice as there were murals on sides of buildings and on other items throughout the town.
With just 20 minutes to spare before it closed, I found Greenfield Coffee. This little cafe, located at the intersection of Route 2A and Routes 5/10. As this was my 5th ice tea for the day, I was wondering what I might find at the end of their day. And I ended up finding the best one of the day – a refreshing Hibiscus-Ginger ice tea. I sat outside on one of the small tables and took in the good vibes that Greenfield was giving off. My eye was drawn to what looked to be a farmer's market across the street, so after finishing my tea, I set off across the road.
I learned this was called Court Square and not only was there tents set up with many great vegetables, but there were a lot of folding tables set up, complete with pretty vases and flowers. I was wondering what was going on there, so I went over to a small music events place, where there was a sign in the window to what was happening at this location very shortly. There was a community dinner, called the Harvest Supper, where everyone would share local fresh farm food, and family entertainment. The only thing you needed to bring was your own plate! I loved the diversity of people who were showing up to enjoy community. Even more impressive was this was the 15th annual event. And then, it really struck me that Greenfield was a place that treasured community, social justice, and history.
From looking at some of my Grandfather's letters in other years, he traveled to mainly large cities. I have also been to some larger cities during these sets of journeys, but I have really come to appreciate the small towns, that value community and their histories.

George Mann has filled in with single chapters over the previous twelfth Doctor graphic novels, but writes both stories collected in 'The Twist', the title story being his first opportunity to stretch beyond a single episode. There's a nice start as the Doctor heads backstage after a rock concert, and from there Mann expands to the origins of humanity on a colonised space station. It's ambitious and has points to make about the way different groups of humans view each other in the real world, but it's also obvious with little subtlety about the way the message is delivered, and would have benefited by being contracted to two chapters instead of three. The better parts are how the gig at the beginning has some later relevance, humanity for once being the danger instead of endangered, and the art.
For the longer story, that's the work of Mariano Laclaustra in his photorealist style, improving again from his previous outing. He's now more comfortable drawing Peter Capaldi as the Doctor without faces frozen into reference poses, and some of his designs are spectacular. We're given early notice of this with an electricity generating forest, and a scene at the end with the Doctor finally getting to play his guitar is wonderful. Rachael Stott is equally good on the second story, having to design multiple environments in passing, yet still enabling some eye-catching spreads.
Titan's editorial policy is that the comics keep up with the TV show continuity as the episodes are originally broadcast, which leads to some puzzling lapses as they're reissued as graphic novels, never mind years later. Clara Oswald, so prominent in all the twelfth Doctor stories to date, bowed out untrumpeted in the The School of Death, so in order that the Doctor wasn't constantly explaining himself to himself part of Mann's brief was to introduce a temporary new companion for the comic stories. That's Hattie, puzzled and pleasant, but lacking much development beyond her distinctive appearance.
Mann's second story improves on the first. 'Playing House' is concise and with better surprises tying into the core of the Doctor's technology. The problem is intriguing, comes with a great revelation at the halfway stage, and poses a viable threat beyond that. Sonic Boom is next.

Q: How to add a jar build by a project to the project in eclipse? I have a project which as part of the build process creates an XMLBeans jar file (stbSchemas.jar) which I want to include and reference in this project.
Is this the best way to go about this (Single project) or should I have a child project which is built from the parent project?
I am building this using Maven2 inside Eclipse.  Is there a better way to do this so that I can maintain the integrity of the projects and stability of the builds.

A: Hmm.  If I understand correctly, you're saying that the you need to reference the stbSchemas.jar in your project in order to build some code that DOESN'T go into the stbSchemas.jar file.  If that's a correct assumption, then I think you should probably do a little bit of refactoring so that you have something like this:
1)  a Maven parent pom file at the top level of the project.  That parent pom has a modules section that would reference the 2 modules from step 2.  E.G:
<modules>
  <module>stbSchemas</module>
  <module>core</module>
</modules>

2)  Split the code into clean modules.  stbSchemas would be the first, your other code would be a 2nd module.  Each of those modules gets its own pom.xml file that would reference the parent pom file like this:
<parent>
       <groupId>parent.group</groupId>
        <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      </parent>

The second module's pom.xml file would also need a dependency section for stbSchemas.jar, like this:
<dependency>
  <groupId>my.group</groupId>
  <artifactId>stbSchemas</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Then, when you build your second module, it'll pick up stbSchemas.jar.
3)  Once you've got that (or something similar) setup in Maven, you can use the maven eclipse plugin (mvn eclipse:eclipse) to generate a correct eclipse classpath for the whole project.  You can then refresh the project in Eclipse, and that will put stbSchemas.jar on the classpath for you.

A: My suggestion is that, when you build the jar using Maven, lets have one folder say "runtime" in the project where you want to use this jar. And through maven only copy the jar to runtime of the project as soon as the jar is created so whenever you will have a new build, you will have the latest jar in the runtime folder.
And now make your project to refer to the jar from the runtime folder. by adding it in its build path.
Hope this helps

A: write a script to copy the jar to the desired folder and edit the xml file in .settings folder of the project to include the jar as a reference through the same script or add it in its buildpath at runtime.

Israeli officials decry 'complete American capitulation' in nuclear talks with Iran
By Ariel Kahana , Shahar Klaiman and Neta Bar, Israel Hayom—-
Unnamed Israeli diplomats over the weekend unofficially expressed disappointment over what they called "complete American capitulation" in nuclear talks with Iran in Vienna. Learning the lessons from the Obama administration's clashes with Israel in 2015, the Biden administration is trying to avoid any surprises and is keeping Israel abreast of developments. With that, the two allies remain at considerable odds over Iran and its nuclear ambitions.
According to information received by Israel, the six world powers – the United States, China, Russia, Great Britain, France and Germany – and Iran are indeed close to signing an agreement stipulating that the sides are returning to the original nuclear deal from 2015, from which former US President Donald Trump withdrew in 2018. However, Iran will not be required to destroy the new advanced centrifuges it has built, rather just disconnect them.
The world powers are also expected to ignore other violations that are difficult to reverse from a technical standpoint. The Americans have also accepted in principle Iran's demand for compensation over the economic damage caused by the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the deal.
A compensation mechanism still doesn't exist and will likely be indirect once established. However, the fundamental decision to restore the nuclear deal has already been made.
In Israel, officials have fallen in step in terms of the dangers posed by Iran and not coming to terms with a nuclear Islamic republic. Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said on Friday at a meeting in Cyprus with his Greek, UAE and Cypriot counterparts that "Iran and its proxies are fomenting instability in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen."
He continued: "Iran wants to acquire nuclear weapons and continues to develop long-range missiles. These will represent a significant threat to Israel and its neighbors. Israel is determined to defend itself from any attempt to infringe on its sovereignty and harm its citizens. We will do everything it takes to prevent the fanatical and antisemitic regime from acquiring nuclear weapons."
Other Israeli diplomats said the American promise of reaching "a stronger and more long-term nuclear deal" in the future is not feasible.
"Maybe the Americans want to believe they will get a better deal down the road," one of the Israeli officials said, "but the moment they return to the original agreement they lose all leverage with Iran, which has no interest whatsoever in altering it. This promise is either a lie or pretending to be naive." Continue Reading…..

Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej w Skopju (mac. Музеј на современата уметност) – muzeum założone w Skopju, w 1964 roku, po trzęsieniu ziemi, które nawiedziło miasto rok wcześniej. Projekt budynku opracowali polscy architekci (Wacław Kłyszewski, Jerzy Mokrzyński i Eugeniusz Wierzbicki) z warszawskiej grupy zwanej Tygrysy.

Historia
26 lipca 1963 roku w Skopju miało miejsce trzęsienie ziemi, które zniszczyło 75% zabudowy miasta. Polska postanowiła, w ramach pomocy, sfinansować projekt architektoniczny dowolnego budynku użyteczności publicznej. Władze Skopje poprosiły o projekt Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej, ponieważ miasto otrzymało w formie darów dzieła ponad 1900 artystów z 66 krajów. Zbiorami opiekowało się założone 11 lutego 1964 roku Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej nieposiadające stałej siedziby. Pierwszym dyrektorem muzeum w latach 1964–1976 był Boris Petkovski.

W budynku postanowiono umieścić zbiory podarowane przez państwa z całego świata. 9 stycznia 1966 roku SARP ogłosiło konkurs na projekt gmachu. Dla rozstrzygnięcia konkursu powołano jury konkursu w skład którego weszli architekci: Roman Szymborski jako przewodniczący, Jerzy Romański, Janusz Cierpiński, Jerzy Hryniewiecki, Zbigniew Ihnatowicz, Czesław Kotela oraz zastępcy Bogusław Karczewski i Jerzy Kowarski, którzy z powodu dużej liczby zgłoszonych prac zostali włączeni do zespołu jako pełnoprawni członkowie. W pracach jury konkursowego wzięło udział (bez prawa głosu) dwóch przedstawicieli Rady Narodowej Skopje: Dragoljub Stavrev i Boris Petkovski. W maju 1966 roku, spośród 89 nadesłanych prac, wybrano projekt autorstwa Wacława Kłyszewskiego, Jerzego Mokrzyńskiego i Eugeniusza Wierzbickiego. Architekci nadzorowali również budowę gmachu na miejscu, w Skopju. Rozpoczęte w lutym 1969 roku prace ukończono w 1970 roku. Muzeum zostało otwarte 1 listopada 1970 roku. Był to jeden z pierwszych gmachów użyteczności publicznej oddany do użytku w zniszczonym trzęsieniem ziemi mieście.

Zbiory
Pierwsze dzieła sztuki podarował Skopju włoski malarz Giuseppe Santomaso oraz niemiecki grafik HAP Grieshaber. Petar Lubarda podarował wszystkie swoje prace, które były prezentowane na wystawie zorganizowanej w Jugosławii jesienią 1963 roku. Na zjeździe w Nowym Jorku Międzynarodowe Stowarzyszenie Sztuk Plastycznych (AIAP) zaapelowało do twórców z całego świata o przekazywanie dzieł do Skopje, aby w ten sposób zachęcić do odbudowy miasta. W zbiorach znalazły się między innymi grafiki Pabla Picassa.

Kolekcja dzieł polskich artystów
W 2014 roku muzeum, z okazji otwarcia po kilkuletnim remoncie oraz 50. rocznicy powstania, wydało nowy katalog zbiorów, który przesłano również do ambasady RP w Skopju. Ówczesny ambasador i jego żona Kinga Nettmann-Multanowska odkryli, że muzeum posiada znaczną kolekcję dzieł polskich twórców. Po zbadaniu przez polskich historyków sztuki okazało się, że muzeum posiada zbiór 200 dzieł podarowanych przez 135 polskich artystów, m.in. Jana Cybisa, Jana Tarasina, Jerzego Nowosielskiego i Tadeusza Kantora.

W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań okazało się, że prace polskich artystów trafiły do Macedonii w kilku transzach. Pierwsze dzieła przekazano po apelu AIAP. Wysyłanie kolejnych w latach 1965–1967 było związane z wizytami w Jugosławii premiera Józefa Cyrankiewicza i I sekretarza PZPR Władysława Gomułki. Kolejne prace dotarły do Skopja w listopadzie 1965 roku, dalsze w czerwcu i lipcu 1966 roku, a potem w grudniu 1967 roku. Część dzieł artyści przekazali muzeum podczas prywatnych wizyt w Macedonii.

Część zbiorów (70 obrazów, rzeźb, rysunków i grafik) zgromadzonych w Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej w Skopju pokazano w 2019 roku w krakowskim Międzynarodowym Centrum Kultury na wystawie Skopje. Miasto, architektura i sztuka solidarności.

Opis
Budynek muzeum ma kubaturę około 34 000 m³, w tym magazyny zajmują około 9000 m³. W przyziemiu i na niskim parterze znalazły się pracownie muzealne, magazyny, skarbiec oraz cała infrastruktura techniczna (m.in. garaże, kotłownia). Na parterze, obok hallu, umieszczono szatnię, bufet z tarasem, łazienki oraz salę wystaw stałych (520 m²) z możliwością połączenia jej z ekspozycją w plenerze. Na pierwszym piętrze znalazła się sala wystaw stałych (1500 m²) oraz mniejsza z przeznaczeniem na wystawy czasowe (430 m²). Umieszczono tam również bibliotekę, archiwum i biura. Ponadto wystawy czasowe mogą być urządzane w łączniku. W budynek wyposażono również w salę odczytowo-kinową (160 m²) i konferencyjną (30 m²).

Budynek powstał na planie kwadratu o długości krawędzi równej 42,5 m. Wzniesiony z żelbetu jest zabezpieczony przed ruchami sejsmicznymi. Większość ścian jest betonowa, przy czym zewnętrzne ściany zostały pokryte białym marmurem. Marmurowe posadzki ułożono na parterze, a na piętrze podłogi pokrywa tkanina igelitowa.

STOPPING 5G WILL PROTECT PUBLIC FROM CANCER AND WORSE
Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2020 10:02 am Post subject: STOPPING 5G WILL PROTECT PUBLIC FROM CANCER AND WORSE
Stopping 5G rollout will protect the public from harmful radiation that can cause CANCER and DNA DAMAGE

Image: Stopping 5G rollout will protect the public from harmful radiation that can cause CANCER and DNA DAMAGE
(Natural News) Earlier this month, much of the focus during the unveiling of Apple's new iPhone 12 was on its 5G capability. Promising dizzying speeds and higher-quality streaming, they assured the public that 5G is the way of the future. Wireless carriers wasted no time getting in on the act, offering incredible promotions on the handsets in hopes of attracting new subscribers. Some analysts are expecting to see sales of as many as 73 million iPhones during the December quarter.
And while all these people may be happy to shell out the cash for the latest must-have phone and cell service contracts, they could also be paying for all this speed and connectivity with their health. Naturally, Apple didn't mention in their presentation the drawbacks of 5G.
The fifth-generation cellular wireless technology is dangerous in ways we can't even begin to quantify yet because the simple truth is that there have been no long-term studies on it. That may be understandable considering how new the technology is, but perhaps even more alarmingly, there aren't really any short-term studies on it, either. In a U.S. Senate hearing that took place in February 2019, the wireless industry was forced to admit that they did not have any safety studies on their precious 5G technology, nor did they plan to carry any out.
Of course, we do have studies illustrating the dangers of 4G and its predecessors, and they're very concerning. And with 5G being so much stronger than 4G, it stands to reason that the world could be in for a serious health crisis in short order.
Just ask Scientific American. The country's oldest magazine, it is often upheld as a credible and pro-science publication that is esteemed by modern fact checkers. The magazine published an article by public health researcher Joel M. Moskowitz exposing the dangers of 5G and the problems with the FCC's severely outdated safety standards that fail to consider the growing pile of evidence pointing to significant harm.
If the problems with 5G were just a magnification of those with 4G, it would be bad enough. But 5G also comes with some new dangers. It introduces millimeter waves, which are absorbed by the skin and eyes and can affect the immune, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Long-term exposure has been linked to sterility and a greater risk of melanoma and ocular melanoma.
Moreover, its limited reach means cell antennas will be placed roughly every 100 to 200 meters, so these "small" cell towers will be placed on ever block, emitting radiation at levels we already know can cause DNA damage and cancer. And while it's putting all of us at risk, the dangers are particularly great for children, whose developing systems are highly vulnerable.
EMF experts expose 5G health dangers
In the International EMF Scientist Appeal, experts in the field voiced serious concerns about EMF from electric and wireless devices, including 5G, identifying risks such as cancer, genetic damage, neurological disorders and reproductive system changes. In fact, these problems can occur at levels that are well below the official guidelines in most areas. Some researchers believe that the human body's surface draws 5G radiation in like an antenna.
Sadly, all of the dangers of 4G and 3G could well be amplified by 5G, which also brings in problems of its own. Is downloading a full-length film in high definition in just seconds on your overpriced new phone really worth putting yourself at risk of all of this?
Several cities around the world, including Brussels, have halted 5G rollouts due to its health effects. Many of these efforts were started by concerned citizens, and in places where the bans stick, countless people could well be saved from serious health problems.

Moule & Polyzoides has been selected to lead a major planning effort for Fresno, California, the state's fifth largest city. The Fulton Corridor Plan will encompass several distinct areas, including the Central Business District (including the Fulton Mall), a new high-speed rail station and a variety of surrounding Neighborhoods. In all, the Plan area is approximately 7,000 acres.
The effort represents an important opportunity to revitalize the core of one of California's longstanding regional centers. Fresno's importance began at its founding in 1872, sparking a half century of growth and prosperity until World War II. This was followed by a period of downtown decline coinciding with the growth of outlying suburbs. In response to evolving, long-term challenges, the Plan seeks to reinvigorate the City by creating comprehensive vision and implementation strategies for future development.
The Plan will incorporate extensive outreach and focus on revitalization, aesthetics, infrastructure and the attraction and expansion of businesses. It will include a Specific Plan, Community Plan and a supporting environmental document. The effort is scheduled to be completed over the course of nearly three years.

The IBM 5100 Portable Computer is one of the first portable computers, introduced in September 1975, six years before the IBM Personal Computer, and eight before the first successful IBM compatible portable computer, the Compaq Portable. It was the evolution of a prototype called the SCAMP (Special Computer APL Machine Portable) that was developed at the IBM Palo Alto Scientific Center in 1973. Whether considered evolutionary from SCAMP or revolutionary, it still needed to be plugged into an electric socket.

When the IBM PC was introduced in 1981, it was originally designated as the IBM 5150, putting it in the "5100" series, though its architecture was unrelated to the IBM 5100's. The 5100 was IBM's second transportable computer. Previously, a truck-based IBM 1401 configured in 1960 for military use was designated a portable computer, and nicknamed a DataMobile.

The IBM 5100 was withdrawn in March 1982, by which time IBM had announced its larger cousins, the IBM 5110 (January 1978) and the IBM 5120 (February 1980).

SCAMP, the prototype

In 1973, Bill Lowe was instrumental in fostering an engineering prototype called SCAMP (Special Computer APL Machine Portable) created by Dr. Paul Friedl and a team at the IBM Los Gatos Scientific Center. SCAMP has been dubbed in PC Magazine as "the world's first personal computer". The IBM Los Gatos engineering prototype and a design model by IBM Industrial designer Tom Hardy, were utilized internally by Lowe in his early efforts to demonstrate the viability of creating a single-user computer. SCAMP emulated an IBM 1130 minicomputer in order to run APL\1130. In 1973, APL was generally available only on mainframe computers, and most desktop sized microcomputers such as the Wang 2200 or HP 9800 offered only BASIC. Because SCAMP was the first to emulate APL\1130 performance on a portable, single user computer, PC Magazine in 1983 designated SCAMP a "revolutionary concept" and "the world's first personal computer".

Description
The IBM 5100 is based on a 16-bit processor module called PALM (Program All Logic in Microcode).   The IBM 5100 Maintenance Information Manual also referred to the PALM module as the controller.  The PALM could directly address  of memory.  Some configurations of the IBM 5100 had Executable ROS (ROM) and RAM memory totalling more than , so a simple bank switching scheme was used. The actual APL and BASIC interpreters were stored in a separate Language ROS address space which the PALM treats as a peripheral device. There were twelve models available: with BASIC, APL, or both. Memory could be , ,  or  of main
storage. The 5100 sold for between  and  (between $ and $ in today's dollars).

Often described as being "approximately fifty pounds", its weight was closer to 55 pounds (25 kg). In December 1975 BYTE stated "Welcome, IBM, to personal computing". Describing the 5100 as "a 50-lb package of interactive personal computing," the magazine said that with the company's announcement "personal computing gains an entry from the industry's production and service giant," albeit "at a premium price".

A single integrated unit provided the keyboard, five-inch CRT display, tape drive, processor, several hundred KB of read-only memory containing system software, and up to  of RAM. It was the size of a small suitcase, weighed about  (), and could be transported in an optional carrying case, hence the "portable" designation.

In 1975, it was an amazing technical accomplishment to package a complete computer with a large amount of ROM and RAM, CRT display, and a tape drive into a machine that small.  Earlier desktop computers of approximately the same size, such as the HP 9830, did not include a CRT nor nearly as much memory. The 5100 has an internal CRT (five-inch diagonal) and displays 16 lines of 64 characters. IBM provided an option switch to allow the user to display all 64 characters of each line, or only the left or right 32 characters (interspersed with spaces). Also there was a switch to display the first 512 bytes of main memory in hexadecimal for diagnostic purposes.

Two solutions existed for obtaining hardcopy output: printers such as the IBM 5103, and attaching a typewriter via
an interface. The TYCOM 5100 (from a company named Tycom Systems Corporation) enabled controlling an IBM Selectric typewriter, printing at 15.5 CPS.

Mass storage was provided by removable quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) magnetic tape drives that use standard DC300 cartridges to store . One drive was installed in the machine and a second (Model 5106) could be added in an attached box.  The data format included several types and were written in 512 byte records. The introduction of a floppy option was not until the IBM 5110.

At the same time IBM announced the IBM 5100, it also announced the IBM 5100 Communications Adapter, that allowed the 5100 to transmit data to and receive data from a remote system. It made the 5100 appear the same as an IBM 2741 Communications Terminal and was designed to be able to communicate with IBM 2741 compatible machines in start-stop mode using the EBCD (Extended Binary Coded Decimal) notation.  EBCD was similar to the more common IBM EBCDIC code, but not identical. A feature that does not appear in any advertisement for this computer is an optional Serial I/O port.  In order to access the port extensions, they needed to be loaded from tape for the APL and BASIC programming languages.   Unlike the Communications Adapter which could only be used to connect devices that supported the IBM 2741 Communications Terminal, this feature allowed users to connect and code for any device that used a standard Serial I/O port, including devices not made by IBM.

One periodical described "an interesting standard feature"; that a 5100 could be connected to a television. An external video monitor receiver could be connected to the IBM 5100 via a BNC connector on the back panel. While the 5100 had a front panel switch to select between white on black or black on white for the internal display. This switch did not affect the external monitor, which only offered bright characters on a black background. The vertical scan rate was fixed at .

Research Device Coupler
In Volume 16, Number 1, Page 41 (1977) of the IBM Systems Journal the article "The IBM 5100 and the Research Device Coupler — A personal laboratory automation system" read: "A small laboratory automation system has been developed by using the IBM 5100 Portable Computer in conjunction with the Research Device Coupler. This compact system provides a dedicated, high-level-language computer and a versatile data acquisition and control interface for experiments in which data rates do not exceed 9600 baud. Two experiments exemplify the use of the system. The Research Device Coupler described in this paper is a prototype of the IBM 7406 Device Coupler."

Programming languages
The 5100 was available with APL, BASIC, or both programming languages. At the time of introduction, APL was generally available only on mainframe computers, and most desktop sized computers such as the Wang 2200 or HP 9830 offered only BASIC. As a desktop computer offering APL, the 5100 competed with, and indeed may have been inspired by, the earlier MCM/70.

Machines that supported both languages provided a toggle switch on the front panel to select the language. On the 5100's front panel, it was the third toggle from the left: up for APL, down for BASIC.

When the engineers at IBM asked one beta tester, Donald Polonis, for his analysis, he commented that if folks had to learn APL to use it, the IBM 5100 would not make it as a personal computer. He tried to impress the fact that a personal computer had to be easy to use to be accepted. Presumably, the special APL character set and APL keyboard were the primary obstacles to newcomers learning APL easily.  APL had powerful features for manipulating data as vectors and matrices, while the competing HP 9830 had to offer language extensions on an add-on ROM for matrix operations.

Although not meant for regular users, the maintenance manual described a keyboard sequence to switch the 5100 into a maintenance mode. In this mode it was possible to read and write directly in RAM memory, video memory, CPU registers, interrupt vectors, clock counter, etc., using hexadecimal codes equivalent to assembly language. This allowed writing sophisticated programs directly into RAM. As this mode was a single-user system effectively running without an operating system, a determined user could manage the memory space and write stable multi-tasking programs using interrupts.

Emulator in microcode

The 5100 was based on IBM's innovative concept that, using an emulator written in microcode, a small and relatively cheap computer could run programs already written for much larger, and much more expensive, existing computers, without the time and expense of writing and debugging new programs.

Two such programs were included:  a slightly modified version of APLSV, IBM's APL interpreter for its System/370 mainframes, and the BASIC interpreter used on IBM's System/3 minicomputer.  Consequently, the 5100's microcode was written to emulate most of the functionality of both a System/370 and a System/3.

IBM later used the same approach for its 1983 introduction of the XT/370 model of the IBM PC, which was a standard IBM PC XT with the addition of a System/370 emulator card.

Sovereign - (11a W-O) a really big boy! A gargantuan white flower with a bright orange wavy split corona measuring a good 6" across; very showy flower with lots of focal value; late-mid spring; 16"-18".
Daffodils are the most cost effective, pest-free perennial plants available and make wonderful companions with other bulbs, perennials, annuals and flowering shrubs. They grow in almost all areas of the United States as long as there is a discernible winter. They are pest-free and when given ample sunlight, water and proper nutrition, will provide early spring color for many years. They are divided into 13 divisions according to their flower shape and heritage. Daffodils should be planted in full sun or at least half day (8 hours) of sunlight after the leaves are on the trees and should be planted 3 X the height of their bulb deep (3"-8"). The ADS defines DIVISION 11 - SPLIT CORONA as: "Corona split - usually for more than half its length." and DIVISION 11A - COLLAR DAFFODILS as: "Split corona daffodils with the corona segments opposite the perianth segments; the corona segments usually in two whorls of three". A division where the cup of the daffodil is split into segments and spreads back against the petals; sometimes the cup is smooth, often it's frilly and many other times it's in between; 14/16+cm bulbs unless otherwise noted; whz 3-8 unless otherwise noted.


A dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive surgery used to create dimples on the cheeks or chin. Sutures are stitched inside of the mouth, leaving no external scars and a natural looking dimple after the healing process is completed.
Dimples are small depressions in the skin that appear when smiling. These indentations can enhance someone's features and are often desired to create a more attractive facial contour. Natural dimples are apparent at birth and are caused by a slight deformity in the cheek muscle where the skin is tethered to the zygomaticus major muscle. When an individual smiles, the fibrous connection causes the dimple to become deeper and more visible. This tethering can be mimicked surgically during a dimpleplasty procedures. For those with prominent cheekbones looking for a dramatic reshaping of the face, a cheekbone reduction surgery may be better suited. Before the dimpleplasty procedure, the surgeon will mark the areas on the surface of the cheeks for where the new dimples will be. Once the location is agreed upon, local anesthesia will be applied to ensure comfort for the patient. A small incision will be made on the inside of the cheek. An absorbable suture will be passed through the inside of the cheek to catch the undersurface of the skin where the dimple is desired. Once the suture is tied, a depression will form on the overlying skin. After surgery the dimple will be present even without smiling. Eventually, the dimple will only fade and only be present when moving the face. The suture will cause scarring between the cheek and cheek muscle so that even when the suture has dissolved, the scar tissue will act as the fibrous connection and create the superficial indentation when smiling.
The goal of a dimpleplasty is to create the appearance of dimples.
A dimpleplasty creates dimples on the cheeks or chin. Sutures are stitched intraorally, leaving no external scars. Here is a quick guide for what to expect before, during, and after a dimpleplasty.
After a dimpleplasty most patients are able to return to work the day following the procedure however may be self conscious of redness and swelling. Avoid strenuous activity for at least 1-2 weeks following the procedure. Final results are typically seen after 2 months however the dimple will be present, even when not smiling, until healing is complete.
The ideal candidate for a dimpleplasty is generally in good health and desires dimples.
Dimpleplasty is not recommended for candidates with infections in or around the mouth such as herpes, lupus, blood-clotting diseases, diabetes, or heavy smokers unwilling to quit for a short period.
Side effects from dimpleplasty may include infection, pain, bruising, scarring, and possible asymmetry.

"YOU guys do whatever it is you're doing!," Visor-Mine states, "I'M going to go get the big one!"
She takes off down the hall. More arms burst out of the floor. ...How many arms does this you have?
You take out the scalpel you acquired earlier. You and Red try to drag Science-Mine away from where she was pushed up at, while you try cut her free of the bandages. They're... tough, a lot more durable than you anticipated.
You suspect you're starting to feel the effects of being away from your... well, other selves. You're conflicted, torn, having difficulty deciding one way or the other what to do--it feels like you want to take one option just as strongly as the other, but doing neither is worse.
You juuust manage to cut Science-Mine's wrists free, when you feel hands gripping at your ankles. You're pulled to the floor with some force, long arms dragging you away from the other two yous.
Red and Science-Mine grab your wrists, bringing you into a game of tug-o-war with Fear-Mine. ...However, you can see more arms beginning to force their way through the floor, looming toward Red and Science.
You're not... real sure where the main body of Fear-Mine is. In the floor, somewhere.
"What do we do?!," Red asks.
"Mmf mmhhhrgmphf!," Science-Mine replies, her mouth still tightly bandaged.
Attempt to reason with Fear!Mine? She might be willing to talk.
The other two need to go get Rage-Mine with Visor-Mine so they can use their combined strength to pull Fear-Mine out of the floor. Wrestling for Main-Mine is a losing option.
As for us. Try... comforting Fear-Mine. Is there like, a lullaby we liked as a child or something? Maybe sing it. Or a TV show that filled us with courage and excitement to be the good guy? Belt out that theme song. Anything to get through to her, at least enough to slow her down.
...that she'll listen. Try to cut the gag off Science-Mine too, while doing so; she might know something.
Get Science-Mine's gag cut, pronto, get Nurse-Mine to do it if she has to.
This. Get Red to finish cutting the gag while main Mine tries to reassure scared Mine and ask her to come up.
I was going to suggest that we use the scalpel to cut our arm open and blood the bandages to force them loose, but then I had the thought that perhaps the other mines can control our blood too, but then came a thought. Do we have mind-blood? There is no harm in checking, after all.
But yes, this. I agree.
By #142 there's nine mine. This one Should be everyone and this last one will be how we combine ourselves back to normal, once subdued. Think flluffy cats, its worked before at calming fear and only has to last long enough to have the big mine get here and lend a hand. If that doesn't work big guns time; we have more than enough allies who have helped us up until now that bringing their personas into this will tip our hands in our favor.
Is the desk another Mine? It holds things. Mine went through a collect trophies phase.
The desk does not speak or even react to being stabbed. Pretty sure it's just furniture. Meat furniture but furniture regardless. Like the computer or books it can be interacted with but it doesn't appear to have a mind of its own.
Focus on bringing Fear-Mine out into the open. Just think about that, and go from there. Visor-Mine is already trying to bring out the big guns whether we do anything or not, so let's use that as solid footing to act and follow her lead.
Although for now, struggling against being pulled under might be all we can do until they get back.
We need to get some time until Rage!Mine comes.
Try to talk to Fear!Mine, say things that can stop her to think for a moment. Like "Would Mom be happy if we simply capture and silence everyone we care for?! Even when she and dad were fugitives, dad still worked and acted with freedom. Mom extended his life to be all the time possible, but she didn't restrained him!"
Even if it doesn't change her mind, we simply need to get some time until Rage!Mine comes XD.
Yes - I think we just need to buy time, whatever it takes. Science and Red need to just do their best to not be captured before help gets here.
Pass the scalpel to Red Mine, so she can cut Science free.
If there's sync like bleed between Mines, work on calming yourself, don't let your fear strengthen scared-y Mine.
Ungag, then finish freeing. trapped science can help if her voice is free.
I'm thinking maybe we should just let her pull us down so we can have a face to face and hug it out. >_> Crazy as that sounds..
1 how do you hug while bound.
It's time for some tough love. Fear!Mine needs to learn that she can't carry the whole world by herself. We can show her that by dragging her up and out of the floor. If we win this contest of strength, we prove that together we're stronger than our fears.
Fear!Mine needs to learn that it's okay to be afraid but that you can't let that fear control you. She needs to work past her fear and let it motivate her to help us rather than hinder us.
We need all the Mines here to pull fear!Mine out of the floor; and then hug her until she settles down.
Try to comfort Fear!Mine. Lullaby, kitties, anything. Maybe try to level her, if you have access to that sort of thing in this brainscape. It's hard to say anything to somebody who's too scared to listen.
If that doesn't work (or even if it does, actually), try to reason with her - Mine can't forget not just how strong she is, but also how strong each of our friends is and how strong everybody together is. If they're hurt, we can fix them; if they're in danger, we can protect them; but without their help, there's a hard limit to how much we can accomplish. As a collective unit? We can do anything. They keep us safe as much as we keep them safe, and they keep each other safe; keeping them "out of danger" would do more harm to them, and to us, in the long run.
We did a strawpoll on Discord and ungag Science and comfort Fear won.
I think the comment section is part of the problem. My guess would be by not having a singular idea we are causing this to happen, we most likely need to come up with an idea and have one singular person comment it.
Wouldn't surprise me. Sounds like we need to get our reasoning straight and decide what we want to do. Make suggestions, and then have everyone sign onto the one with the most support.
So, my suggestion is to point out that Fear!Mine is herself being terrifying by kidnapping the other parts of her mind, and that she needs to stop since no one in here is trying to hurt any of them right now; rage has calmed down.
Then we need to explain that locking up Mine's friends, taking over their lives, will just drive them away mentally, exactly how she's driving the other parts of herself away now.
Point out that Thale and his followers have pursued them directly before. Running and hiding aren't options that will work in the future, especially since Thale can probably get into the bunkers.
Then remind her of all the scary things that the group has overcome by working together. Together, they can win. Sure it'll be dangerous and scary, but sitting around in a dark place or running for your lives, always afraid of being caught, of losing everything and everyone, that's scarier than fighting. At least when you stand and fight, it's on your own terms, with you in control. Running, hiding, that's just letting yourself be hunted like some kind of animal. And it'll put that same fear in the group, too.
Then offer up a massive group hug from all the Mine's present, including nurse and rage.
This is all great stuff - assuming we can manage not to get gagged before getting a third of it out. Couldn't hurt to start with the shocker first - 'You're scaring everyone!' see if she pauses.
Might be a good idea here. Either hesitation, full stop, or going after main Mine first.


Everyone wants to know who caused this mess. The housing debacle, the credit crunch, auto companies on the edge of bankruptcy and unemployment skyrocketing.
I am going to tell you and you aren't going to like it.
Congress is having a field day with committees now "investigating" the cause and having a wonderful time with finger pointing. Trouble is they are all pointing in the wrong direction.
We now have the foxes not just guarding the hen house, but counting the chickens. They are making it worse with the so-called stimulus package which is nothing more than a huge pork gift for the Democrat Senators and Representatives. The president is one of the biggest feasters of pork that does not show on the surface.
The first "expert" who has since been knighted for his brave and courageous actions was Sir Alan Greenspan. He kept interest rates too low for too long encouraging people to commit a larger percentage of their income to housing than was rational. He called it "irrational exuberance". You can call it whatever you want. I call it stupid.
Then along comes both geniuses in Congress, Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank who pushed thru legislation that required banks to make loans to people they knew could not afford to make the payments.
These two were supposed to be overseeing both Freddie and Fannie. Instead they were accepting huge contributions of cash and favors from these institutions.
Fannie and Freddie then had to accept the worthless mortgage paper that the banks were creating. How this paper ever got AAA rating is beyond me. The companies that guaranteed this paper all had rubber stamps for automatic approval. No due diligence.
Then this junk paper was being bundled and sold all over the world. Other countries were copying what we were doing which only compounded the problem. As the true value of these mortgages became apparent to corporations, hedge funds and foreign countries' assets started heading toward zero. Not quite, but close. No one would accept them as security when loans were need so the credit markets froze.
The world of commerce cannot operate without the flow of cash in the form of credit. Banks are required to price all assets at market value. This is called 'mark to the market'. On paper today the entire U.S. banking industry is insolvent. Trillions of dollars of their assets are considered to be worthless mortgages. They really are not worthless, but the true value is unknown. In the banking business "unknown" is zero.
This gives you a micro view of the problem, but you still want to know who is to blame. Well, this is what you won't like.
YOU are the cause. Why? Because you voted in the bums who made the laws that allowed this worldwide recession. YOU are also the only one who can fix it. Next election it is time to take a close look at what your guy has or not been doing for the country. If you pay taxes it is up to you and no one else.
YOU caused it. Now fix it.
More inflation and you will see next the gold price will double from now.

Microsoft's new speech recognition software is as accurate as humans
Jan Willem Aldershoff
New speech recognition software from Microsoft is able to recognize words just as good as humans, researchers from the software giant write in a report. The system is able to transcript a conversation between two humans while making less mistakes than a human would do.
The speech recognition software uses a neural network to make connections between words in order to reduce the number of errors. Several computers were coupled to have sufficient computing power for the recognition of words, sentences and conversations between multiple persons.
Microsoft calls the system a 'historical achievement' but stresses that the computer still make mistakes. Specific words in fast spoken sentences are still transcribed wrongly. However, also humans make mistakes. The reason Microsoft is able to state the new speech recognition is as good as humans is because the researchers use a specific set of conversations.
The used set is is called NIST 2000 and contains many telephone conversations. These have been transcribed by professionally trained humans which performed the transcription with a certain error rate. Today's news is that Microsoft's system made less errors in transcribing than these humans.
Microsoft hopes to use the speech recognition software for its virtual assistant Cortana and it should also help in improving accessibility features for blind people.

Baker McKenzie announces record global revenues of $2.92B
You are here: Home1 / News2 / Revenue3 / Baker McKenzie announces record global revenues of $2.92B
January 8, 2020 /2 Comments/in Revenue /by News Desk
Baker McKenzie has announced record revenues for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2019 (FY19) of $2.92 billion. In terms of constant currency, Baker McKenzie's revenues were up 4.4% compared to the previous year. In US dollar terms, the Firm's reporting currency, this translates into growth of 1.2%, after the effect of adverse currency exchange.
Baker McKenzie remains the most geographically diverse global law firm and all of our regions recorded growth as follows: EMEA +5.2%, AP +2.1%, LA +9.0% and NA +4.0%
All of our key financial metrics improved over last year: revenue growth, net income, profit margin, Profits per Partner (PPP), Revenue per Partner and Profits per Lawyer. We are especially pleased to accomplish this amid a market with flat demand. PPP was up by 3% to $1.48 million in US dollars. Overall net income or profit rose by 2% to $1 billion. Over the last decade the Firm has grown by 40% in terms of revenue and 50% in terms of PPP, outperforming most of our competitors.
Among our standout markets, all with significant double-digit growth, include Bogota, Buenos Aires, London, Prague, Turkey and Warsaw.
Baker McKenzie Acting Chair Jaime Trujillo says, "Recording 4.4 percent growth in a market as challenging as this while maintaining our commitment to all of our offices and our full service offering is a good result. The investments the Firm continues to make in legal services, the centres of excellence we have opened in lower-cost locations, and more effective partnering with clients, supported by long-term investments in industry, practice and client programs have enabled us to show profitable growth.
"This is despite the distinct geopolitical head winds throughout the second half of the year, which prompted our clients to cancel or postpone projects. We are also one of the most geographically diverse professional services firms in the world, both one of our key strengths, and at times a challenge in markets impacted when the US dollar is so strong, as it was this past year."
Jaime concludes, "There have been moments in the past year when the Firm was tested as much as it has been in our 70-year history, but I am extremely proud of how we have come together and dealt with the issues that we have faced. Neither has it been an easy 12 months for the profession as a whole, with softening client demand as a result of geo-political uncertainty, an increasingly competitive market with new entrants and a declining overall market. It takes a Firm like ours with an enormous amount of resilience, experience and strong leadership from all our partners to be confident to face the challenges ahead."
