Q: What's the reason high-level languages like C#/Java mask the bit shift count operand? This is more of a language design rather than a programming question.
The following is an excerpt from JLS 15.19 Shift Operators:

If the promoted type of the left-hand operand is int, only the five lowest-order bits of the right-hand operand are used as the shift distance.
If the promoted type of the left-hand operand is long, then only the six lowest-order bits of the right-hand operand are used as the shift distance.

This behavior is also specified in C#, and while I'm not sure if it's in the official spec for Javascript (if there's one), it's also true based on my own test at least.
The consequence is that the following is true:
(1 << 32) == 1

I understand that this specification is probably "inspired" by the fact that the underlying hardware only takes 5 bits for the count operand when shifting 32-bit values (and 6 bits for 64-bit), and I can understand such behavior specified at the JVM level for example, but why would high level languages such as C# and Java retain this rather low-level behavior? Shouldn't they provide a more abstract view beyond the hardware implementation and behave more intuitively? (Even better if they can take a negative count to mean to shift in the OTHER direction!)

A: Java and C# are not fully "high-level". They try real hard to be such that they can be compiled into efficient code, in order to shine in micro-benchmarks. This is why they have the "value types" such as int instead of having, as default integer type, true integers, which would be objects in their own right, and not limited to a fixed range.
Hence, they mimic what the hardware does. They trim it a bit, in that they mandate masking, whereas C only allows it. Still, Java and C# are "medium-level" languages.

A: Because in most programming environments an integer is only 32 bits.  So then 5 bits (which is enough to express 32 values) is already enough to shift the entire integer.  A similar reasoning exists for a 64bit long: 6 bits is all you need to completely shift the entire value.
I can understand part of the confusion: if your right-hand operand is the result of a calculation that ends up with a value greater than 32, you might expect it to just shift all the bits rather than apply a mask.

A: C# and Java define shifting as using only the low-order bits of the shift count as that's what both sparc and x86 shift instructions do.  Java was originally implemented by Sun on sparc processors, and C# by Microsoft on x86.
In contrast, C/C++ leave as undefined the behavior of shift instructions if the shift count is not in the range 0..31 (for a 32 bit int), allowing any behavior.  That's because when C was first implemented, different handware handled these differently.  For example, on a VAX, shifting by a negative amount shifts the other direction.  So with C, the compiler can just use the hardware shift instruction and do whatever it does.

Q: Javascript checking for null objects and caching values In javascript re-introduction, I went through 2 examples that I have no clue when or where to use them. Below a quote:

The && and || operators use short-circuit logic, which means whether they will execute their second operand is dependent on the first. This is useful for checking for null objects before accessing their attributes:  var name = o && o.getName();
Or for caching values (when falsy values are invalid): var name = cachedName || (cachedName = getName());

Will the name contain boolean, if yes, what is the use then? This is might be a noob question, but I wish someone can explain it with an example.

A: var name = o && o.getName();
This code is used to avoid errors if o is undefined.
var name = cachedName || (cachedName = getName());
This code will be used if getName is costly operation like network call. This will help us to call the getName only the first time and second time it gets from the cachedName

← Turkey's countdown to autocracy: Parliament to begin discussing much-criticized 'security package'
Hakan Fidan and his baffling resignation →
Kurdish roulette
Posted on February 2, 2015 by yavuzbaydar
There are four months left until the parliamentary elections in Turkey, and one of the many puzzling parts of the political game is what the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) is up to.
Yet, it is a key party whose fundamental decisions will test the resilience of whatever is left of democracy here. It has chiefly to do with the persistent rhetoric by the main figures of the HDP that it is firm in its decision to enter the elections as a party — as opposed to running successfully with independent candidates in two earlier elections — that raises eyebrows. From the outset, the main argument for this major shift was that the HDP could pass the notorious 10 percent election threshold (in order to be able to enter Parliament), but there is a lot of room before one can be convinced of this. Suspicion also inevitably enters the picture because Turkey's story is dramatically different than when the so-called Kurdish peace process began in January 2013. Almost all of the expectations about the process — utmost transparency possible with a clear roadmap, well-established expertise, objective monitoring and, most importantly, synced with drafting a democratic constitution — are now gone. Despite the fact that the process has demanded leadership in order to convince the entire nation, there are still large chunks of society left wondering about the party — primarily due to a lack of inclusive management and a profound suspicion of what can be seen as a "sellout" for failing to concern itself with the Kurdish issue and identity. The overall perception becomes even more polluted as long as HDP figures remain ambiguous and often stay away from commenting on Turkey as a whole, which is being driven inch by inch towards autocratic rule. HDP figures are busy bragging these days as if passing the 10 percent threshold is a slam-dunk. The big problem is that no one knows where they get their figures from. It raises worrisome questions of a daredevil Kurdish gamble that promises to jeopardize whatever is left of the political balance in Parliament. Indeed, a failure by the HDP will ruin the entire picture, possibly toppling the negotiations between Ankara and the PKK, and leaving the door wide open to the destruction of social stability. One of Turkey's most respected polling companies, KONDA Research and Consultancy (also known for extensive research on Turkey's Kurds), shares these concerns. In a recent analysis Bekir Ağırdır, KONDA's director, implies that the HDP may indeed have its head in the clouds. He offers some sobering data: The HDP's vote in the 2011 and 2014 elections hovered around 5.7-6.6 percent. There are a total of 45-46 million voters in Turkey. To pass the 10 percent threshold, the HDP needs to get 4.6 million votes nationwide. According to KONDA data, the Kurdish population accounts for 15 percent of the country's total population, which corresponds to 7 million Kurdish voters. In the last few elections, 3.4 million of the Kurdish votes have gone to the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and 2.6 million to the HDP. Simply put, the HDP needs roughly 2 million more votes.
How to close this gap?
"It would be utterly difficult for the HDP to pass the threshold without at least tripling its votes in the eight biggest cities," Ağırdır argues.
"Besides, taking as a basis the votes Demirtaş mustered in the presidential election and the distribution of votes according to the provinces, at most five to six more seats in Parliament would be obtained in the case of passing the threshold. In other words, the HDP passing the threshold only through increasing its votes in its stronghold (southeast Turkey) will not bring a meaningful increase in the number of seats secured," Ağırdır continued.
"Another point is the fact that the size of the actors within the alliances and partnerships formed during the process of establishing the HDP — traditional leftist and socialist parties and movements — are not enough to pass the threshold, either," he concluded. Why is the HDP so tenacious on choosing a high-risk path when it can secure even more seats than it has now by running with independent candidates? Is there a tacit agreement between the AKP and HDP about the post-election roadmap? Is it now the Kurds' turn to be duped by the utterly cunning President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan administration as it aims for autocratic rule? A failure will almost certainly leave all of the Kurdish votes to the next party in line, which will be the AKP. It means a constitutional majority for Erdoğan, and a farewell to all democratic dreams.


These studies elicit behavioral evidence for how people weigh monetary and non-monetary incentives in efficient breach. Study 1 is an experimental game designed to capture the salient features of the efficient breach decision. Subjects in a behavioral lab were offered different amounts of money to break the deal they had made with a partner. 18.6% of participants indicated willingness to break a deal for any amount of profit, 27.9% were unwilling to breach for the highest payout, and the remaining subjects identified a break-point in between. Study 2 is an online questionnaire asking subjects to take the perspectives of buyers or sellers considering a profitable breach of contract. The results were consistent with Study 1, yielding a demand curve for breach. I conclude by proposing a research agenda that investigates in a systematic way how individuals make legal decisions in the face of competing norms.

The Unmade Bed
The Messy Truth about Men and Women in the Twenty-first Century
by Stephen Marche
In one of the most talked about books of the year, provocative cultural commentator Stephen Marche examines the state of male-female relations in the 21st century, with commentary from his wife, Toronto Life editor-in-chief Sarah Fulford.
On a warm spring morning in New York City, Stephen Marche, then a new father and tenure-track professor, got the call: his wife had been offered her dream job . . . in Toronto. Their mutual decision to move home, prioritizing her career over his, shed new light on the gender roles in their marriage. It also provoked a surprising and divided response from the world around them.
In The Unmade Bed, Marche explores the phenomena that define our modern conversations on gender, from mansplaining to parenting to the division of domestic labour. As his view is only one half of the story, Marche's wife and Toronto Life editor-in-chief Sarah Fulford provides footnote commentary throughout. The result is a uniquely balanced and acutely personal exploration into the moments in everyday life where men and women meet. Going beyond who does the laundry, Marche provocatively argues that we are no longer engaged in a war of the sexes, but rather stuck together in a labyrinth of contradictions. And these contradictions are keeping women from power and confounding male identity.
The Unmade Bed has ignited an international conversation about the complex and shifting landscape of gender relations.
"The Unmade Bed is a rollicking read and a very frank look at issues at an important set of issues from the male perspective." - Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO New America
"There is much pleasure found between the covers of this particular messy bed." - The Globe and Mail
"The Unmade Bed is poignant, thought-provoking and a necessary addition to a cultural moment where the Western world is grappling with the biggest shift in gender relations in human history." - National Post
"What Marche argues in The Unmade Bed makes great sense, and he is nothing if not a fluent stylist." - Winnipeg Free Press
"The definitions of masculinity and manliness are changing, and Marche's commentaries will help readers understand how. Satisfying food for thought on the ever-changing dynamics of men and women as they interact and go about their individual lives." - Kirkus Reviews
"The book feels almost like a type of cerebral entry an educated writer, father, or husband might make to himself in his journal: a private fact-finding mission to meditate on the rules of today and better survive the culture of tomorrow. Thankfully, Marche made this particular journal entry public." - Booklist
"Stephen Marche is a very brave man: in The Unmade Bed he makes the case that relations between men and women have never been better. Because he is also a very brilliant writer, he pulls it off. A thrilling read, no less because his wife has provided footnotes." - Ian Brown, author of Sixty

Navy door opens for e-biz ideas
By Matthew French
Navy's e-Business operations office Web site
"Net-centric on the cheap"
Officials at the Navy's e-business operations office in Mechanicsburg, Pa., have issued a call for pilot project proposals for fiscal 2005.
Each year, the office selects several pilot programs to receive a modest amount of funding for the development, testing and evaluation of technology projects that can assist the Navy to be more efficient in business operations.
The evaluations for the program will be ongoing through July 30.
Successful pilot programs are of limited scope, cost and duration to rapidly develop working prototypes, according to a statement released by officials at the e-business operations office.
Proposals can be sent to the e-business operations office by visiting the office's Web site at www.don-ebusiness.navsup.navy.mil. The site also contains information about the proposal criteria and selection process.
The Navy's e-business operations office's pilot program has been so successful, the office was chosen to spearhead the Defense Department's Rapid Acquisition Incentive for Network Centricity last June. DOD officials launched the RAI-NC program last May to develop products and services that support the Pentagon's efforts to use information networks to transform military operations. The idea is to adapt commercial technology and procurement practices to shorten the time it takes to develop and field systems.

Q: SVN - completely remove revision from SVN server I have unfortunately committed one big folder to SVN (it has about 1.4GB and about 10000 files, many of them binaries).
Is there any possibility to get back to previous revision and make SVN server to forget that next revision was done? For example, this commit was revision 120. So I want to make the top revision 119 and to remove all files and SVN db settings of 120. revision.
I have tried delete that folder, so the 121 commit was done. And then I tried to merge the revisions 121 and 119. But it won't helped. The revision 120 is still in the system.
Then I wanted to make a mirror of the SVN repository using svnsync, but there is no option to set up to which revision I wish to make mirror. Unless I didn't find this option. (I would like to set the revisions from 0 to 119).
Do you know what can I do about it? Is there any command for totally remove one revision as it has never happened?

A: You have to dump the repository and then reload it, skipping over the revision you no longer want. (r120 in your example)
To do this, use the svnadmin dump command, followed by the svnadmin load command.
example:
svnadmin dump c:\svn\my_repo -r0:119 > repo.dump
svnadmin load c:\svn\my_new_repo < repo.dump

In more complicated scenarios, you might have to use svndumpfilter, but I don't think that's necessary in your case.

A: You can do either of these two things:

*

*Login to your SVN server, remove the files you don't want there, and logout. This will create another revision, but since it's done via the server interface, there's little chance of things breaking down.

*Revert to revision 119, make some small changes, then commit. Resolve all conflicts by accepting yours.


The mission of Joliet Township High School, a historically rich, unified and innovative learning community, is to empower every student to compete and contribute positively to our community and global society by providing a rigorous and personalized education through an academy environment.
In the State of Illinois, the local school districts were created by the state legislature to execute the educational policy as defined in the constitution as a state government function.
Exercising the legislative power conferred or implied by legislature in administering school functions.
The Joliet Township High School District 204 Board of Education consists of seven citizens of the school district, each of whom is elected for a four-year term. Any adult resident may run for election to the board providing he or she meets certain legal qualifications. School board members serve without pay.
The Board of Education of Joliet THSD 204, Joliet, Illinois is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Superintendent of Schools. The board wishes to select a superintendent who will begin work on July 1, 2019.
The board has confirmed the following timeline for the superintendent search, which is subject to change.
Applications will be accepted until October 12, 2018.
The Board of Education will interview selected candidates in November to determine the final candidates for the position.
The Board of Education will interview the final candidates in December.
The Board of Education will appoint the new superintendent in January 2019.
The Board of Education would like to thank the many district stakeholders who participated in the online surveys and in-person focus groups to help determine the next JTHS superintendent's ideal profile. This process added both depth and focus to the Board of Education's criteria for our future leader.


Days after registering new money losses and shrinking sales HTC has announced a new smartphone called Desire 628. The device will not impress much but apparently this is HTC's strategy of pulling itself out of the hole the company is in – just release more and more smartphones and hope that there's going to be a hit model among them. Well, it seems that the Desire 628 won't be the device that HTC needs.
The reason is simple – the device comes with mid-range specs that some of you may even call mediocre. The Desire 628 is equipped with a 5-inch HD display, an octa-core MediaTek MT6735 processor at 1.3 GHz, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, a 13 MP front and 5 MP rear camera combo, stereo BoomSound speakers, support for 4G LTE, dual SIM slots and a 2200 mAh battery. The new HTC smartphone also runs the older Android 5.1 Lollipop instead of the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The Desire 628 features two colors schemes – purple and white and black and orange. There's no information when the new smartphone will be in stores and how much it will cost but given the hardship HTC is going through it should not take long for the Desire 628 to reach the customers that want to have it.


Trimmed means have been found to be useful in identifying underlying trends in the aggregate price data. For example, Bryan and Cecchetti (1994) showed that trimmed means of consumer price data, notably the 16 percent trimmed mean and median CPI, produce superior forecasts of the future CPI trend. More recently, Bryan (2007) argues that these statistics help expediently identify small changes in the inflation trend.
However, a potential problem of using trimmed means arises when one of the components in the inflation aggregate has an unusually large weight, such as the 24 percent relative importance given to the Owners' Equivalent Rent (OER) component of the CPI. The influence of this component can grow disproportionately as the proportion of extreme changes "trimmed" from the data increases. Indeed, the influence of the OER component on the median CPI can be seen in table 1, which documents that since 1998, OER was the median component 64 percent of the time.
*Relative importance value from December 2006.
Following the recommendation of Brischetto and Richards (2007) of the Reserve Bank of Australia, we have recently begun to produce experimental measures that promise to reduce the influence of the OER component on the computation of the trimmed-mean (and median) CPI statistics by breaking OER into four regional subindexes. Confirming the results of these authors, we find that reducing the influence of OER in this way improves the inflation signal coming from the trimmed-mean CPI estimators. Figure 1 shows how trimmed means computed from the component CPI data provide an improved prediction of the future CPI trend over either the CPI or the traditional ex-food and energy core CPI measures. More importantly, reducing the influence of the OER component by breaking it into its four regional subindexes (as in the experimental methodology), improves the ability of the trimmed-mean measures to predict the future CPI trend, as greater percentages of the extreme components are trimmed from the data. In fact, this experimental methodology reduces the proportion of times an OER component is the median component from 64 percent to 52 percent (table 1).
*Calculated from January 1983 to June 2004 using 36-month-forward CPI inflation.
The four regional OER components used in the revised method are the four census regions (Northeast, Midwest , South, and West), each weighted by their appropriate share in the overall CPI. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not currently seasonally adjust these regional OER subcomponents, statistical tests confirm the existence of seasonality in these data. We have therefore seasonally adjusted the OER subcomponents using the Census's X-12 procedure. The revised median CPI is available beginning in 1983.
Other minor changes to the trimmed-mean CPI measures introduced with this report include the introduction of the leased cars and trucks component (code CUSR0000SETA03) with the data starting as of February 2002, and four seasonally adjusted components that earlier had been reported only on an unadjusted basis.

Ida makes landfall in Louisiana, disrupting shipping
Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana on Sunday as a major Category 4 hurricane, with winds of 130 knots and an estimated storm surge of as much as 15 feet in the most-affected areas.
The storm is the most powerful to strike the state in many years, and it arrived on the same date that Hurricane Katrina made landfall 16 years ago.
It was downgraded to a Tropical Strom in the early hours of Monday morning.
All ports within the Port of New Orleans captain of the port zone have been closed since Saturday afternoon, except for the port of Venice on the outermost reaches of the Mississippi Delta.
Merchant vessel traffic on the Mississippi has been shut down between Lettsworth, Louisiana (200 miles upriver from New Orleans) and the river's mouth. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway has also closed in affected areas.
The storm surge briefly caused the mighty Mississippi's flow to reverse, according to data provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The river gage at Belle Chase, Louisiana recorded a rapid six-foot spike in the water level and a flow rate of negative 10,700 cubic feet per second at about 1230 hours.
From start to end, the rare phenomenon lasted for about three hours, and it had at least one unusual effect on navigation: the ferry that serves Chalmette, Louisiana broke loose from its moorings and began drifting upstream (not downstream) at mile marker 90, according to local media.

WhatsApp must not be 'place for terrorists to hide'
By Shaun on March 26, 2017 • ( 6 )
There must be "no place for terrorists to hide" and intelligence services must have access to encrypted messaging services, the home secretary has said.
It comes after it emerged that Khalid Masood was reportedly on the messaging app WhatsApp two minutes before an attack in Westminster in which he killed four people.
Police are unable to read his messages.
But labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said there was a balance between the "right to know" and "the right to privacy"… More at the BBC.
The arguments she used in the interview were primitive and harked back to the classic 'we used to be able to do this and do that'. When we give up privacy for every good citizen, we accept that we have lost and that the people who simply do not like the way we live our lives have won.
I realise that this is a big topic and that there are no easy answers, but time and time again the simplistic view that privacy should be taken away for all is used by politicians as the only answer. No imagination, no time taken to look for a better solution and the problems just continue…

The basic problem is that we don't trust the government, the politicians, the police, or the intelligence agencies to use the information not only properly but discretely. Most, like the vast majority, of us don't have information affecting national security or crime or anything like that. But we do have things that we'd rather not have everyone know about. Things that we'd like to keep with friends or family. With the insecurity of online databases, how long would it be until a hacker got into everyone's information. Worse if that information included all our passwords.
kirkjerk
Yeah, really complex feelings on this for me.
On the one hand, "I have nothing to hide". And in general I'm enough of an attention seeker that I have a diminished need for privacy. But a counter to that is, I'm not gay, but I still support gay rights, etc.
But a counter to that is, some of the people who have something to hide, what they have to hide is very dangerous to other people.
And then there's the sense of, if there's great government power, what happens when the government shifts? Certainly the last year has taught us that our governments can take a turn for the scarier.
And then, in general, any backdoors left in for the authorities create possible bridges for people with even less regard for individuals.
(And of course, then I get to the melancholy existential truth of noticing that my opinion doesn't matter that much anyway.)
Everyone's opinion matters. That's what makes democracy, flawed as it is.
"that much" I said 😉 One snowflake doth not an avalanche make…
But it could be the tipping point 🙂

Belfast-based software firm Replify is targeting £2.1 million worth of export sales following an investment supported by Invest Northern Ireland.
The computer software company develops technology to accelerate remote access to corporate applications. This technology helps businesses with a geographically dispersed workforce to optimise their telecommunications infrastructure.
Replify is investing over £690,000 in research and development and marketing activities to boost sales in Great Britain and Europe. Invest NI offered Replify over £248,000, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), to help the company enhance its international competitiveness.
Building on previous R&D investments, Replify's latest project will create a new product called Syncstor, which will offer mobile workers the ability to access information remotely and to work offline. Replify also employed a new UK Channel Manager to drive export sales and marketing activities and improve the company's position in this niche market area.
Carol Keery, Invest NI's Director of Innovation, Research and Technology, commented: "Remote working and Cloud computing are rapidly growing business markets. With the number of remote workers increasing each year, the potential market demand for Replify's new product is significant.
Brian Baird, CEO of Replify, commented: "Our new product, Syncstor, will offer mobile workers greater productivity, flexibility and ease of use in their operational environment. We are focused on continually improving our capabilities and will be building complementary applications to enhance our current offering.


It's been a heady two days for striking Los Angeles teachers and their union leaders.
Rain failed to fizzle huge rallies. People brought free tacos and "Tofurky for Teachers" to the picket lines. And their strike became a cause celebre of liberal politicians such as Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
It was all that L.A. schools Supt. Austin Beutner could do to get in a cautionary word in about the harm he said the strike was doing to the nation's second-largest school district and its students.
But as the strike enters its third day — and a likely fourth and fifth — there will be increasing pressure for the union to settle as teachers lose salary, L.A. Unified loses money and the thrill wears thinner for families worried about lost learning time and how to balance childcare with work, politics with pragmatism.
The outlines of a possible deal are painstakingly taking shape behind the scenes, but huge hurdles remain, including — as of Tuesday night — getting the parties to meet face to face for the first time since last week.
The union and the district are close on salary, and the district, in its latest offer, said it would lower class sizes and hire more nurses, librarians and counselors for one year. Beutner said the district could afford no more without risking insolvency. The union responded last week that these steps were not enough.
Garcetti insisted the differences could be bridged fairly quickly with the parties coming together around common goals but that resources — and a political nudge — from the city, county and state could be needed to get to an agreement.
Making a deal would make sense because in some ways the strike has perhaps achieved a zenith, with high-fives from celebrities including actors Jaime Camil from "Jane the Virgin," Marlee Matlin, Rachel Bloom and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Nearly 80% of Los Angeles County residents said they sided with L.A. Unified teachers, according to a survey released Tuesday by the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University.
The shelf life of this enthusiasm, however, is untested.
"We may see a different response to this question if the teachers remain on the picket lines for an extended period of time, and the realities of the work stoppage hit home," Gilbert said.
At a Tuesday morning news conference, Beutner said the 31,000 members of United Teachers Los Angeles collectively were losing $10 million a day. The union represents teachers, nurses, librarians and counselors. On Monday, he said, the district lost $25 million because only about one-third of students showed up. That's a net loss of $15 million.
In other words, the teachers could become victims of their own strike success. They more or less encouraged students to stay away to put pressure on the school system. But the financial pain could quickly cross over to teachers, as the district has less money with which to make a deal.
Attendance ticked up slightly on Tuesday, but there was no reason to think students would quickly return in large numbers, based on what parents such as Sandelle Kincaid experienced on Monday.
Beutner said it was the teachers union that walked away from talks last week.
"As I've said repeatedly, anytime, anywhere, I'll meet. Los Angeles Unified will meet to try to resolve this," he said in the same news conference.
The superintendent abruptly walked out after three minutes of tense exchanges with reporters, as they shouted questions at his back.
The union on Tuesday broadened its job action as teachers began a strike at the Accelerated Schools, a local charter network with three adjacent schools south of downtown. The Accelerated teachers were working under a different contract, although still represented by United Teachers Los Angeles.
Teachers also marched on the downtown offices of the California Charter Schools Assn., surrounding the office tower clad in the union's bright red. Caputo-Pearl has called for a moratorium on new charters, which are privately operated, mostly nonunion and compete with district-run schools for students and the funding that follows them. Charters now enroll about 1 in 5 district students.
Myrna Castrejón, the head of the association, said her group opposed a moratorium on charters and that there was room for high-quality new schools of all kinds in neighborhoods where academic achievement remains low.
The union, she said, is unfairly singling out charters when the real problem is lack of funding for traditional and charter schools alike. In the push for more state money, at least, charters are speaking the same language as Beutner and Caputo-Pearl.

Facebook individuals have the unrivaled capacity to connect with each other, as well as assemble online for various discussion and discussion. Whether you wish to speak about last evening's episode of Video game of Thrones, or take customers on in heated political debates, possibilities are there's a Facebook Group for that - How Do You Cancel A Group On Facebook.
Integral to Facebook's social networking model is the Group, which is a cornerstone of the popular platform. Groups are designed to suit an unfathomably big range of customers, and also their participants could be practically anyone, from the average joe to a real-life celeb. Whatever the function of a group, as well as despite that populates them, it's a safe bet to claim most Facebook users remain in contract when it comes to their relevance.
Occasionally, nonetheless, Groups shed their popularity. Possibly what was when an active space has lost its core subscription, or a TV program individuals once went crazy about has shed its appeal. Whatever the case, you may decide to remove or leave a team therefore.
If you're not an administrator of the Group, and also have actually determined you've wearied, all you need to do is come by the Group's homepage, and also click the button in the upper-right-hand edge that says "Joined" This will certainly give you the alternative to unfollow, or straight-up leave the Group.
If you are an admin or Group maker, there are a couple of special steps you have to follow. The good news is, they'll just take a few minutes, relying on the size of your Group! Initially, click the button that says "Members" under the Group's cover image. Click the drawing of a gear button alongside the name of each member in the Group, which will allow you delete them from stated Group. As soon as all the Group members are gone, merely click the "Leave Group" button beside your name.

Cause of One of Worst US Boat Tragedies Is Still a Mystery
34 people on diving excursion were killed off the California coast last year

(Newser) – "Mayday, mayday, mayday." Those three words sent at 3:14am on Sept. 2 were the first inkling of the tragedy unfolding aboard a boat anchored near Santa Cruz Island off the California coast. As a story at Outside recounts, 34 people would die after fire broke out aboard the Conception, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in US history. Six months later, we still don't know the cause, and as Kathryn Miles writes, we may never know. Of the victims, 32 were customers on the boat owned by Truth Aquatics and chartered by Worldwide Diving Adventures. The others were a crew member and a dive leader. What seems clear is that all were sleeping when the fire broke out, and none had a chance. "With a fire on a modern craft, there's a lot of plastic and materials that are going to release lethal chemicals," says Douglas Arenberg, a pulmonologist. "It's a nightmare scenario."
The captain and four crew members who were sleeping on the top deck were the only survivors, and they say attempts to save anyone were impossible. The story explores the dive-excursion industry (where tragedies like these "aren't entirely uncommon") and looks into the theory that charging electrical devices caused the fire. At this point, however, it is only a theory. In fact, the widower of a woman killed (they were the husband-and-wife team who ran WDA and chartered the boat) says public speculation about charging devices by investigators in the aftermath was irresponsible and close to "victim blaming." Other factors such as electrical wiring and galley equipment are being looked at in the ongoing federal investigation. Miles notes that if the investigation finds that no crew members were on watch overnight, the captain or boat owner could face a 10-year prison term. (Read the full story.)

When I was in Canada this summer visiting my family in Vancouver including my three wonderful grandchildren, my two daughters introduced me to Facebook, which is an internet based service designed to help people from all over the world to connect with each other. Yesterday something really great happened by using Facebook. I wrote to one of my old colleagues in Brazil saying that I had lost touch with a good friend who lives in Bolivia and wondering if she had his email. Well she didn't have the email, but she told me that my colleague's daughter was on Facebook so I could write to her and find out her father's email. I then wrote to her on Facebook and she gave me her father's new email. So in the space of about an 2 hours I was reconnected with an old friend. Now that is radical global change.
The first thing that you notice, if you get onto Facebook, is that information is not very guarded between the participants. You can see what everyone is writing to each other and what everyone is doing simultaneously all around the world. If you need confidentiality you can still have it, but the huge guarding of emotional content in people's life that characterized most of the 20th century has suddenly been swept away. Yesterday I received messages from Australia, Japan, China, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, the US, England, and Israel.
Most of what you hear in terms of future prognosticating these days is the acceleration of the negative so I am just going to do the opposite. If I can communicate instantly all over the planet with people I know and share my thoughts and feelings openly on a blog on a daily basis for others to read, then it has to mean that we will see unprecedented acceleration of the healing of all those conditions that are caused by isolation and alienation. It will become increasing more difficult to go to war, people will begin using the term world citizen as easily as they identify with their own countries, and conflicts and oppression will be almost impossible to hide. This is all because the communication space between people from great distances will continue to decrease.
Ok, here is the thing. If you look at the way the world is in all of its negative aspects, it will have a huge tendency to bring on paralysis. It does for me. However, if I look toward the future and see what is going to happen in positive terms, it means that I can accelerate its occurrence by acting positively now. If I just complain and whine, which I love to do, then nothing will happen. What is difficult to account for are the radical changes that are going to happen to drive us forward in a positive way in the next few years. The best strategy for a great world shift toward the positive is transformation of our lives.
Here is what it is like. My oldest grandchild is now 4 years old. Within the space of two years her brain is going to go a radical alteration so that she can move from being a captive of perception, that is, to being able to only hold one thing at a time in her mind such as size or shape or color to being able to hold all three dimensions in her mind at the same time and then use them. She will move from thinking in size or shape or color to size and shape and color. This means, for instance, that she will be able to see that a person can have very light skin and still be a human being. Right now she can only see one or the other.
This is exactly what the world needs. We can be citizens of our countries and citizens of the world. We can be women or men and still all be human beings. Human beings don't have to be men while women are something much less. We can have great economies and we can have a clean and protected environments. We can have security and health and we can travel limitlessly with great freedom.
I read someplace once that we are able to predict the negative things that may befall us but we are unable to predict the positive things that may unexpectedly happen to us.

Money Talk: Gallant Venture, Venture Corp
Fiona Chan
https://str.sg/3aVD
SINGAPORE - Stay up to date on market chatter with our picks of the latest broker research reports, compiled by The Straits Times Money Desk.
1. Gallant Venture
Broker: OSK-DMG
Gallant Venture's land sales have been snowballing as the buzz surrounding Bintan grows. Our channel checks show new resorts are opening as scheduled and existing operator Banyan Tree has raised its bets on the island by introducing serviced apartments.
On 13 June, trade publication/portal TTG Asia reported that Phase 1 of Treasure Bay Bintan will open in Q4 2014 with 1,500 room keys. Meanwhile, the Sanchaya Bintan will start accepting reservations via third party hotel booking website Small Luxury Hotels Of The World from Aug 1.
Management expects to reach critical mass of 5,000 room keys by 2015, and may hold international events to showcase Bintan on the global stage.
Reiterate Buy with our target price unchanged at $0.57.
2. Venture Corp
Broker: Maybank Kim Eng
Three of Venture's customers are currently undergoing merger & acquisition (M&A) activity. Unlike previous M&A deals where order volumes to Venture dropped after its customers were acquired, we believe the latest winds of M&A change may be positive for Venture in two of the cases, and at worse, have a neutral impact on one of the cases.
One of Venture's customers, a US medical device maker, announced that it is acquiring its Irish-based competitor (also one of Venture's customers) for US$42.9 billion.
Oracle Systems is also buying MICROS Systems for US$5.3 billion, the biggest ever acquisition in the point-of-sales systems market. We believe both deals, announced last month, would have a positive implication for Venture.
In addition, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility completed the acquisition of handheld tracking device maker Intermec in Sep 2013. Since then, uncertainty has given way to greater certainty, and Venture now believes that the impact from Honeywell's integration of Intermec will not be as negative as feared. We now believe this will turn out to be revenue-neutral for Venture in FY2014 and revenue-positive starting from FY2015.
So far, customer volumes have tracked forecasts, setting Venture up well to deliver 12 per cent earnings per share growth in FY2014. For Q2 2014, we expect revenue to rise 6 per cent year-on-year and 5 per cent quarter-on-quarter to $622 million, and net profits to rise 27 per cent year-on-year and 24 per cent quarter-on-quarter to $38 million. Results will be announced on 8 Aug.
Maintain Buy with a target price of $8.64.

What's Better than Technical Support from the CEO?
Last updated: 4 December, 2019
By Daniel Heuman
What's better than a company where the CEO answers support questions?
It sounds amazing to have a direct line to the CEO. And anyone who has contacted Intelligent Editing for technical support over the last ten years has had literally that. What could possibly be better?
Anything. Literally anything.
A CEO who answers support emails is one who could be solving the problem that made you contact support in the first place!
I care deeply about our users. So for the last ten years, I've given customer support as much time as I possibly could. But at best, it has just had scraps of my attention. Now we can do so much better. Chris McKay has joined Intelligent Editing to be 100% dedicated to customer success. If you contact us now, our capacity to answer your support questions is four or five times what it was just two months ago.
Chris is passionate about all aspects of the customer experience, from wrangling the toughest support queries to facilitating remote training sessions and content creation efforts. In his own words, he acts "under the aegis of the customer to ensure that they have an advocate in the further development of PerfectIt as the brilliant product they love." He enjoys finding the "Ah ha!" moments in support – whether it's from shedding light on aspects of PerfectIt that you didn't know existed or from helping to resolve elusive bugs.
Chris has exciting plans to improve our onboarding process, improve our support times, and make sure we give each question the time it deserves. Our service will be better and our users will be happier. While our promise remains to answer support questions within 24 hours on weekdays, the reality is that if you email support when Chris is working (Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm EST), he usually gets to queries that same day.
Of course, passing control of support to Chris has its downsides. I've enjoyed the rumours of how I never sleep (hint: I was in a different time zone). I've enjoyed having people accuse me of being a service or a bot (because obviously it isn't REALLY the founder of the company answering basic support questions). However, the biggest downside is personal. I'll miss the daily interaction with our users. Please continue to send your feedback and suggestions for PerfectIt. Those all still find their way to me. And please say hello at conferences. In the year ahead, I plan to be at ACES, APMP, AMWA, and hopefully some others too.
It feels strange for me to not be answering support questions. However, what people want from PerfectIt isn't a conversation with me when something goes wrong. What everyone wants is a product that works better and does more. With Chris taking over our customer service, that's exactly what we can give you. And that's exactly what we're going to do.
Daniel Heuman is the CEO and Founder of Intelligent Editing.

A love letter to Chester Bennington: 'I wish I can tell him he helped me'
A24 is at it again. After dabbling in the multiverse and making half-human, half-lamb children, its new horror will get a li'l raunchy, and well, real…
Chester Bennington of Linkin Park
By: Martin Tee Ten Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:31 AM July 30, 2017
of Linkin Park
I first heard about Linkin Park in 2001 when I was a kid in sixth grade, in Xavier School, still listening to Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Moffats and other bands. I was this huge kid who spoke with a soft voice, didn't have too many friends, didn't excel in school, didn't participate in sports, was bullied because of my family name and, most of all, was already exposed to things I didn't understand at the time. When I first heard their song "Crawling" and "Papercut" through classmates, I'd already written the band off as being too rock for me. That was until toward the end of the year when heard their song "In the End."
During that time, my brother and I were living with our dad in Paco, Manila, while our parents were in the middle of an annulment—an annulment I didn't fully understand. Our routine then was, after getting out from school at 4 p.m., we'd go to our tutor, just down the road from Xavier in San Juan, where we'd spend around two to three hours before heading home. Once we got home, it was dinner time, around 7 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.
Living with Dad, along with our auntie and Chinese grandmother, meant that conversations at the dinner table was spoken in Hokkien. Most of the time, my brother and I just kept to ourselves during dinner, not uttering a single word unless spoken to in English or Filipino, which we can understand. It wasn't a strict environment, but you know that feeling when adults are talking, especially in a language you don't know— either you weren't supposed to hear it or you're really not part of the conversation.
A difficult time
This was our life week in and week out. Very rarely, if at all, did we go out with friends. Weekdays were out of the question due to the time spent in commute and weekends were the only time my brother and I can spend with our mother, who went back and forth the United States for work.
My parents separated when I was still in first grade and I always felt guilty if I asked for a day to spend with friends so I just didn't ask. There's nothing wrong with asking, but at the time, I felt so guilty of even thinking about asking. This was such a difficult time for me and my brother that we had learned how to be there for each other. We didn't know why half of the things happening were happening, but we'd accepted it. No one explained to us what was going on, nor did we ask. My brother and I just tried to make good of the situation we were in and tried our best to enjoy what we can.
During one of the car rides to school toward the end of 2001, "In the End" came on the radio and toward the middle of the song, I started paying attention to the lyrics— something I'd never done before. The lyrics from the song "In the End" seemed to understand me.
But how? Why me? How can this random song on the radio put words and melodies in tune with my feelings when I don't even know how to identify them? But the how or why didn't matter to me. All that mattered was that someone, somewhere, understood the conflict and the hard times I'd faced growing up and that he's here, singing about it.
First CD player
Christmas of 2001, our mom came back from the US for good and also gave me my first CD player. The very next day, we went to Music One in Greenbelt 3 to buy Linkin Park's first CD, "Hybrid Theory."
That blue CD player was always with me, always with the Linkin Park CD inside it. Whether we went to malls on weekends, went to school on weekdays and even on trips abroad, I'd bring that CD player with me just so I could listen to Linkin Park. Over the course of listening to their songs, with the accompanying lyric sheet, I began to appreciate their other songs. Songs such as "Forgotten" and "Points of Authority."
At the time, I had no clue that Chester Bennington had suffered through things far worse than what I'd gone through. It was only this past week that I finally understood the how and why he wrote songs like those. I've had my small bouts of depression and know that there are people who have it much worse. Some may argue that Linkin Park is no Nirvana. Chester Bennington was no Kurt Cobain. But Bennington had internal battles, as we all do. More than that, I admire him more because he turned his pain into something productive.
Something I can only hope to do. He wasn't just singing songs about things that he only had a fraction of an idea of. He was singing of songs that he had firsthand experience of.
Through his songs and lyrics, I was able to find a way to cope. And I can only wish that I can tell him that he helped me. That he helped some kid in sixth grade, sitting in the back of a beat-up white Lancer going to school. That all that kid needed to hear was his voice through the radio speakers saying you're not alone; you don't have to face this alone.
Rest in peace, Chester.

It's been a terrible year for personal privacy, yet the issue remains on the backburner in the presidential race.
— Yahoo this week acknowledged the largest data breach in history, affecting more than 500 million user accounts. The company said the intrusion apparently began in 2014. Names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and answers to "security questions" may all have been stolen.
Yahoo only disclosed this to customers after the press forced its hand. Vice's Motherboard blog reported a month ago that a cybercriminal known as "Peace" was trying to sell 200 million Yahoo user credentials on the "dark web." Recode reported this week that Yahoo was preparing to confess to a breach – which seems to have prompted the company to confirm the news later in the day.
This is the latest in a long string of high-profile breaches, from Target to LinkedIn.
— The political conversation about the data breaches has been almost exclusively about national security, not consumer privacy. Indeed, Yahoo blamed "state-sponsored" hackers. And most of the anger about all the hacked emails, whether the Democratic National Committee's or Colin Powell's, has been directed toward the Russians and/or WikiLeaks.
A site that experts have linked to Russian intelligence, the same one that posted Powell's private correspondence, Thursday shared a copy of Michelle Obama's passport, as well as sensitive Gmail messages from a White House contractor.
Vladimir Putin should certainly not be let off the hook for meddling in our democratic process, and bipartisan pressure keeps building on the White House to retaliate against Moscow for its skullduggery. But the Yahoo revelation underscores how relatively little outrage has been directed toward the companies which hold the data that has been breached.
Hillary Clinton – who the director of the FBI has called "extremely careless" about her email use – does not want to draw attention to how vulnerable private accounts are to being hacked. . .
And Donald Trump has an abysmal record when it comes to safeguarding the data of his customers. Trump's hotel chain disclosed this April that its computers had been attacked, but Eric Trump refused to say just how badly. Last year, Trump's company admitted that hackers had installed malicious software into their payment systems – potentially collecting the credit card information of anyone who stayed at one of the GOP nominee's hotels over more than a year.
Trump, of course, also encouraged the Russians to hack Clinton's emails during the Democratic National Convention. And Rand Paul, who made privacy and opposition to government surveillance centerpieces of his campaign, failed to catch fire during the primaries.


Teenage Class: The Truth is Out There.
The theme of the lesson is 'trust and truth,' and is split between reading and listening in the first half, followed by a speaking section in the second.
It's also my first time with this class as their permanent teacher, so getting off to a good start is paramount. This means having fun and creating a conducive learning atmosphere but also stating class rules and stating the consequences for breaking said dictums.
We can then talk about different cultures. I'll show a little of this YouTube clip (it has English subtitles which is great for my students, and the speaker is from USA so he has a different accent to mine).
Following this, I'll show my Friends (men) sheet (I'll put the link below). This will lead into the lesson, the theme of trust and trustworthiness. I'll introduce the students to my 'friends' (yes, they are just five random photos from Google) and ask them which ones they would trust and why. They will also meet 'Simon' who will feature in the second part of the lesson.
obnoxious 1) (adjective) a very unpleasant person 2) (noun) a gas that becomes liquid at 50 degrees C. 3) (noun) a small village without a church.
mindset 1) (noun) a tool designed by scientists to analyse personality 2) (noun) a system of rules to allow students to memorise lots of information 3) (noun) a set of attitudes held by someone or a group of people.
After this, it will be time for book work, up to break. After the interval, it'll be more speaking. I'll show them the picture of Simon again and say he's coming to HCM City next week and wants some advice: where to stay, what to do, where to shop, what to eat, how to get around, what to do at night etc. The students have to plan a day for him including breakfast, going to a tourist attraction, shopping, using local transport and a night time activity.
I will give them some information about Simon, for example, he loves trying local food, is interested in history, wants to buy typical souvenirs and enjoys a beer or two at night. However, he is on a limited budget which will affect where he stays, where he goes to eat and how he travels around the city.
Activities like this help students to think critically in a second language and leads into the main exercise in the text book.

Another end game will be with collocations – showing a list of words and asking them which ones collocate, for example an email – you can send it / open it / redirect it / delete it etc. Or maybe just a simple general knowledge quiz or hangman or a B2B.

Q: VMware vs virtualbox for mac osx guest, does vmware support guest additions? I spent hours downloading and setting up an image for mac os sierra for virtualbox
then I find out there is no guest additions for mac osx from virtualbox. So graphics slow and laggy. Resolutions not supported. Copy paste between host and guest? nope. Share folder host and guest? nope.
Would have been good knowing that before going all down the road.
can vmware provide that?

A: VMware of course won't support "guest additions" since those are VirtualBox drivers.
VMware Fusion does support running macOS as a guest and therefore should include VMware Tools (VMware's equivalent of VirtualBox's guest additions) for macOS.
