The global workforce is more mobile than ever. And for many organizations that are trying to control the burgeoning mobile device and app environment, deploying enterprise mobility management (EMM) systems has become standard operating procedure.
"Mobility continues to transform how employees undertake work, and EMM technology is an important component in the successful execution of digital transformation initiatives," says Adam Holtby, research analyst for enterprise mobility and productivity at Ovum.
Originally called mobile device management (MDM) software, EMM products continue to evolve and now offer features that go well beyond device management, Holtby says. "Being able to manage a broad device estate via EMM is a compelling proposition for organizations," he says. "Next-generation policy-management capabilities and the ability to derive meaningful context about not only the devices being used by an employee base, but also about the employees themselves, can be transformative for organizations."
As smartphones and tablets did previously, a new wave of connected devices is set to disrupt the enterprise technology landscape with the growth of the internet of things (IoT).
"EMM solutions are well-positioned to support organizations in managing many of these connected things," Holtby says. "This should help organizations in adopting a more strategic, less chaotic, proactive approach to how [IoT] can be effectively leveraged within the business environment."
EMM vendors are investing heavily in expanding their products into more functional platforms that can support organizations as they try to manage a more diverse endpoint environment, Holtby says. Supported by increased use cases and improved capabilities, these unified endpoint management (UEM) tools will gain in popularity, he says.
The move toward UEM will not happen overnight, notes Andrew Hewitt, an analyst at Forrester.
"Vendors like AirWatch are pushing for unified endpoint management to allow organizations to manage mobile devices, PCs and even IoT devices," Hewitt says. "For now, we're seeing this as a mostly vendor- and analyst-driven movement, though, as the complexity of managing legacy Windows applications and [operating systems] remains a significant challenge."
New areas of focus: Mobile identity, analytics, Office 365
The expansion of EMM capabilities will come with challenges associated with security. Specifically, there will be a heightened demand for capabilities that can help organizations manage mobile threats along with other endpoint threats, Holtby says.
Indeed, one of the more notable trends in the market is a greater focus on mobile identity.
"Employees today use multiple devices and are always on the go, connecting to company resources from different locations throughout the day," Hewitt says. "As a result, we're seeing the EMM vendors provide more contextually relevant identity tools," to either allow or restrict access to corporate resources based on the network the employee is using.
There is also more sophisticated use of analytics with EMM systems, helped by advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies.
"The data and information that EMM solutions can gather and present provide organizations with an opportunity to realize new workflow efficiencies, react more quickly and relevantly to employee behaviors and demands, and make better business decisions armed with data," Holtby says.
Another trend in the market involves Microsoft Office 365 (O365). "As O365 becomes more commonplace, many of the users we talk to are struggling to figure out how to best optimize that experience with their current EMM of choice," Hewitt says.
"Employees want a seamless, native experience with O365, and so far that has been hard to come by in the EMM market," Hewitt says. "We expect vendors to continue to integrate O365 into their portfolios, expand their ability to manage Windows 10 PCs, and offer better support for Windows Store."
The outlook for EMM
All of this is happening as prices are rising for EMM products. Prices will continue to go up as the variety of devices increases and becomes more complex and the threat landscape grows larger, Hewitt says. "I don't see the increase as being price prohibitive, though," he says. "The risks of not managing your enterprise mobility efforts are too great."
The rise in prices "is in response to a greater number of organizations embarking on enterprise mobility strategies, and they need technology to support their efforts," Holtby says. "Demand is strong and the need for capabilities that extend beyond solely device management is increasing. Additionally, EMM solutions are evolving far beyond their modest MDM roots in offering capabilities that can help organizations deliver against broader digital initiatives."
Just prior to the spate of acquisitions that took place in the market in the 2012-2013 timeframe, prices were in a downward spiral due to intense competition for market share, but prices at that level were not sustainable, says Bryan Taylor, research director at Gartner. "Though prices did rise over the last year and a half to two years, we don't expect this to continue," Taylor says. "Already, some leading vendors are restructuring list prices across all of their SKUs, and we've seen a slight downward trend for street prices in the last quarter or so," Taylor says.
[ Related: How Windows 10 changes enterprise mobility management ]
Looking ahead over the next few months, Taylor expects to see EMM technology vendors increasingly focus on analytics capabilities, as well as PC/Mac management capabilities and, for some vendors, forays into IoT.
Short term, there will be relatively small changes in what EMM software offers, Hewitt says. These include: Updated dashboards to make them more user-friendly and to offer more dashboarding capabilities; expanded support for Android for Work; and better analytics on device usage.
"Long term, I do think EMM will evolve in a number of ways," Hewitt says. "First, it will manage an increasing array of devices as the market goes towards [unified endpoint management]. It will be a key ecosystem player for the IoT eventually."
Second, EMM will become more contextually aware, offering up apps and services to mobile users depending on the location in which they are working, Hewitt says. Finally, EMM will need to contend with the likes of new collaboration methods, such as chat.
"Overall, we expect the market to turn its focus away from simple management and security of devices, apps and data to better enable employees to accomplish their jobs," Hewitt says.

The Wolff Eats Its Own
By BRET STEPHENS, New York Times
Guess what? Donald Trump is a raving idiot. Every sentient person knows this, and if Michael Wolff is to be believed, so does most everyone in the White House. So why are we talking about Wolff's book "Fire and Fury" as if it's the news sensation of the decade?
The answer lies in that timeless definition of the word "gossip": Hearing something you like about someone you don't. "Fire and Fury" is catnip for everyone who detests this president. Trump gorges on burgers in a bed he doesn't share with his wife! He barely reads and constantly repeats himself! He has mastered the fine print in the Bill of Rights — all the way from the First to the Third Amendment!
But gossip isn't journalism. And Wolff's book is Exhibit A in how not to damage Trump's presidency, much less his chances of re-election.
So much was apparent in Tuesday's televised meeting of the president with congressional leaders to discuss immigration. This was not a good performance by past presidential standards: Trump seemed unable to grasp what a "clean" bill meant, or where Republicans stood on it. Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., acknowledged as much when he said the meeting got "confusing."
Yet to a normal person casually tuning in, the president appeared reasonably affable and businesslike. He listened. He cracked an appropriate joke. He said he was prepared to defer to the wishes of Congress. Where was the drooling man-child we had been led to expect from Wolff's book and the nonstop coverage of it?
The net result is that "Fire and Fury" has so thoroughly succeeded in lowering public expectations for Trump that it makes it that much easier for him to exceed them. If the White House were smart it would tweet photos of Trump reading Dean Acheson's "Present at the Creation" looking deeply engrossed. That should inspire a half-dozen Washington Times columns on how the press used to think Reagan and Eisenhower were boobs, too.
That's not all the damage Wolff has done. The president often misuses the term "fake news," typically by treating every media mistake as evidence of willful and systematic mendacity. This may be enough to bamboozle his ardent supporters, even if the rest of us understand the distinction.
In "Fire and Fury," however, Trump really does have something resembling fake news. The book is replete with casual errors of fact. Invidious stories are unsourced or unverifiable or, on close inspection, simply nonsensical. It was written with white-hot venom. The book's only truly credible voice, if credible is the right word, is the peerlessly self-serving Steve Bannon.
The book also comes from a writer already accused of playing it fast and loose with the facts. Wolff may fancy that he stands alongside Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein by exposing the hidden intrigues of power. In truth, his book is like a movie "based on real events," an exercise in the art of pleasingly plausible storytelling.
Wolff's book does more than just lend substance to the administration's corrosive fake-news allegations. It brings out the worst in Trump's critics, admittedly including me. Isn't it vindicating to know that White House insiders take the same appalled view of the dim bulb in the Oval Office? Isn't it just delicious to hear those words — "moron," "dope," "idiot" — whispered about the president by the grown-ups in the room?
But if the anti-Trump movement has a crippling defect, it's smugness, and Wolff's book reflects and richly feeds it. We're the moral scolds who struggle to acknowledge the skeletons in our own closet, the smart people whose forecasts keep proving wrong. We said Trump couldn't win. That the stock market would never recover from his election. That he would blow up NATO. That the Middle East would erupt in violence when Jerusalem was recognized as Israel's capital.
The catastrophes haven't happened, and maybe that's just a matter of luck. But by constantly predicting doom and painting the White House in the darkest colors, anti-Trumpers have only helped the president. We have set an almost impossibly high bar for Trumpian failure. (Will anything less than provoking a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula suffice to convince Trump loyalists that he's an unfit commander-in-chief?) We have increased the country's tolerance for the president's venial sins. And we have turned the "Resistance" into a byword for the hysterical and condescending ninnies of American politics.
This is not a winning strategy. One of Trump's underappreciated strengths is his sly command of irony, on display again last week when he tweeted that his two great assets in life were "mental stability and being, like, really smart." Note the superfluous "like," which is stupid when spoken but intended as humor when written. The president isn't making a fool of himself. He's having a laugh that's part self-deprecation, part trolling, and actual wit.
Misunderestimation has already been the political stock in trade of one two-term Republican president. I believe that Trump is ignorant, incurious, vain, gauche, bigoted, intemperate, bullying, suggestible, reckless and morally unfit for his office. But he's not deficient in cunning, and that cunning deserves healthy respect from his political opponents. That Michael Wolff fails to appreciate it only shows who's the biggest dope in "Fire and Fury."

[[File:Thanos,_the_imperative.jpg|thumb|400px]] '''Thanos''' was the absolute ruler of Titan, would-be conqueror of the universe and the greatest enemy of the Avengers. He psychically fed on the despair and misery of others. Thanos has conquered and subjugated an unspecified number of planets throughout the universe and his quest is to obtain Death and the Infinity Gauntlet. == Biography == Thanos was a Eternal peasant born with a deformity — the Deviant Genre, which reduced his purple skin and monster appearance. For that reason he was cast out, and went to wander in the wasteland. One day, when he was jumped by a group of criminals, Thanos was saved by the mythical Death, who decided to give him a chance. It infused him with great physical strength and mental powers, which he could project through his intelligence. Moreover, Death revealed itself to be sentient when it told Thanos of a time when Titan would become a paradise. Consumed by anger and hatred, Thanos misunderstood this message and believed that he had been chosen to impose his will upon the galaxy, be alongside Death as her love and as a result, he used his powers to subjugate his fellow natives. Thanos quickly established himself as the ruler of Titan, his once-reviled deformity now acting as his link to Death's dimension. With an entire planet in his hands, he built an empire called the Chitauri. Thanos' selfish misuse of Death's words twisted it into a source of hatred, fueling his despotic rule. He killed all those not worthy of reading and punished anyone who opposed him. He was often accompanied by his loyal servants, most notably, Corvus Glaive. Thanos then seek to bring the entire universe under his control. To achieve this end, he seeks the cosmic power of the Infinity Gauntlet, which theoretically will enable him to control any and all existing life in the universe. Thanos' perpetual rival is Adam Warlock, ruler of the planet of Xandar. For thousands of years, Titan and Xandar waged war, claiming millions of lives until an truce was finally agreed upon. To seal their bond, Warlock and Thanos exchanged their infant children: Adam would look after Thanos' daughter Gamora and Thanos would raise Adam's son Peter Quill. Peter, despite the influence of Thanos and his daughter, Gamora, grew up to become a freedom fighter in opposition to his adopted father, adopting the name of Star-Lord. Gamora took to the lessons of Xandar and became an enemy to Thanos as well. Though maintaining an uneasy peace, Thanos still looked to acquire power without Adam's interference. He soon took notice of the planet Earth, not only for its vast natural resources and vulnerable population, but also because a potential rival had appeared amongst the otherwise "unworthy" masses: the Avengers. In an effort to gauge the Earth's Mightiest Heroes power (as well as prepare Earth for his coming) Thanos aided Loki by supplying powerful weapons and the Mind Gem of his world to the greedy Asgardian god of mischief. Thanos ordered his servant Corvus Glaive to destroy the Avengers, but his device failed. After his daughter Gamora disobeyed orders by battling The Avengers, Thanos made his presence known to the Earth's heroes, injuring Iron Man with his laser eyes before disappearing into a Chitauri portal. Thanos would later launch a full attack on Earth, beginning with the massive destruction of a nuclear facility. The Avengers were again effortlessly defeated in personal combat and bound to the head of Thanos' war machine. The invasion would have succeeded if not for the timely intervention of Adam Warlock and the armies of Xandar. With Warlock declaring that Earth was off-limits, Thanos grudgingly retreated, but not before murdering Happy Hogan in front of all of New York, then escaping through a Chitauri Portal before Iron Man could get to him. In the quest for the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos invaded a sector protected by Xandar, thus violating the rivaling planets' ancient peace treaty. Gamora's fleet was waiting for Titan's invasion force and shattered Thanos' armada. Upon this, Adan Warlock gave Thanos an ultimatum assuring that the next breech of their treaty would result in his annihilation. While Titan's was rebuilding it's military forces, the villainous Earth android Ultron arrived with the intent of assimilating the planet. Thanos approached Ultron and offered him to hand over Ant-Man and in return, Ultron would spare Titan. So, Thanos went falsely to the Avengers and asked for their help to battle Ultron, which the team reluctantly conceded. In Titan, Thanos and Iron Man fought together until Ultron's forces retreated. Thanos told the Avengers to follow and finish him off, which they did. Afterwards, Thanos teleported inside Ultron's headquarters just in time to vanquish the Avengers, thus delivering his end of the bargain: Ant-Man. When Ultron started extracting living DNA from Pym, Thanos implanted a device that overrode Ultron's control circuits, turning him into his puppet. Thanos intended to use Ultron's program to collect the Infinity Gauntlet and reorder the universe at his will. At that point, Gamora, Iron Man, as well as Captain America showed up to thwart him. Gamora and Thanos exchanged a couple of punches, but Thanos was victorious. When Thanos attempted to leave Ultron's station, however, he was intercepted by Iron Man, who was determined to hold him inside until its destruction. Thanos fought with everything he had, but was finally stranded within the exploding headquarters, dying in the blast. Despite the circumstances, Thanos rejoiced and scorned the Avengers in his last breath.

Q: Why doesn't QR decomposition work correctly? (Lapacke, complex case) I use Lapacke. I am trying to do QR decomposition in C for complex data. For this I write the function (based on Haatschii code How to get the Q from the QR factorization output?):
// Q - input: matrix that we expand / output: Q matrix
// R - output: R matrix
// rows - input: number of rows of Q
// columns - input: number of columns of Q
// rows >= columns condition is always met
void QR(lapack_complex_double * Q, lapack_complex_double * R, size_t rows, size_t columns){
    size_t i;
    lapack_complex_double* tau = malloc(columns*sizeof(lapack_complex_double));
    LAPACKE_zgeqrf(LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR, (int) rows, (int) columns, Q, (int) columns, tau); // returns the Q, R in a packed format
    // Copy the upper triangular Matrix R (columns x columns).
    for(i = 0; i < columns; ++i)
        memcpy(R+i*columns+i, Q+i*columns+i, (columns-i)*sizeof(lapack_complex_double));
    LAPACKE_zungqr(LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR, (int) rows, (int) columns, (int) columns, Q, (int) columns, tau); // returns the Q
    free(tau);
}

It is worth noting that the author of Alireza also had problems with the function znugqr, but however he switched to the function zunmqr and it seems that happiness has come (LAPACK QR factorization). I believe that my problem is also related to LAPACKE_zungqr since the matrix R is the same as other methods and therefore LAPACKE_zgeqrf works successfully.
But in the end, comparing the similar result (QR decompostion) with Mathematica (QRDecomposition function) and Python (numpy.linalg.qr function), I see that the matrix Q is different, while the matrix R is the same.
input matrix, for simplicity 5×5:
1 + 3j  6 + 8j    11 + 13j  16 + 18j  21 + 23j

(Here I am listing only the last 2 columns of this matrix. The first 3 columns are the same).
I calculated the maximum and average difference across the columns in these matrices. The conclusion is this: the first three columns differ at the level of 10^-11, and the difference between the last two is 10^-3, 10^-2, respectively (the difference is visible to the naked eye).
With an increase in the size of the matrix, an increase in the difference is observed and, as a rule, the first 2-3 columns coincide well.
Maybe someone can help me?

A: The input matrix A is 5x5 but it has rank 2. The first two columns are linearly independent, while the last three columns of A are linear combinations of the first two.
For a QR factorization, this means that there is not unicity for the last three columns of Q. An QR factorization implementation  (e.g., LAPACK, numpy, etc. ) can return any three columns that are (1) mutually orthonormal and (2) in A^(perp), and that is a correct answer. There are many correct answers! The solution is not unique.
If you want to check the Q and R returned by LAPACK, (or any QR factorization implementation for the matter,) you can (1) compute Q'*Q and check that you get the 5x5 identity matrix, (please use BLAS HERK function to do so) and (2) compute Q'*A and check that you have the 5x5 upper triangular matrix R (as returned by QR). In your case you should see that the last 3 rows of R are all zeros, which indicates that the last three columns of A are linear combinations of the first two. To compute Q'*A, you can use BLAS GEMM.
I took your input A and your output Q from LAPACK and I checked for you that Q'*Q is identity and Q'*R is upper triangular with last three rows being fully zeros. So the Q output from LAPACK looks good to me. Yes, this Q is different from what is returned by another implementation and this is entirely possible.
In general we check the quality of a QR factorization by checking that: (1) || A - QR || / || A || is small, (2) || I - Q^T Q || is small, and R is upper triangular. (Take any norm that is easy to compute.)
Checking that two codes return the same output is not a good idea. Since there is not unicity of the output Q and R for two reasons: (1) when A is rank deficient, see the example that you give for example; (2) for any j, any column scaling with a complex number of modulus 1 for the j-th column of Q is possible as long as you scale the j-th row of R accordingly. This changes the Q and R factors but there are still valid Q and R factors.
In addition, assume that you force all diagonal elements of R to be real nonnegative, (by rescaling columns of Q and columns of R appropriately,) and that A is full rank, then you would expect unicity of Q and R. However checking that the pair (Q,R) is close to another one is related to the condition number of computing Q and R for a QR factorization and so you can see pairs that are far apart (forward error), even though they have a good backward error quality.

Review of carbon offset credits suggests the programme needs independent monitoring due to inaccurate self-reporting.
Pickering co-authored the study submitted to Environmental Health Perspectives, a peer-reviewed open access journal published by the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
The Paris Agreement, an international climate change accord that includes provisions relating to carbon markets, entered into effect on November 4.
As agreed to by delegates at international climate talks, implementers of carbon offset programmes are allowed to collect their own monitoring data to be used by certification organisations to determine how many carbon credits they should be awarded.
They can then sell their credits and profit from the programmes.
Curious whether organisations are estimating their offsets accurately, Pickering and her team analysed one such carbon offset effort in Kenya's Western Province, known as LifeStraw Carbon Credits, under which the Vestergaard Frandsen company distributed for free more than 800,000 carbon-based drinking water filters to rural households.
The idea behind the programme is that water filters help households avoid the need to burn fuel to boil and purify water, earning carbon offset credits for Vestergaard.
Under the rules of the voluntary carbon trading market, the company could use its own data to quantify the amount of carbon its programme offset and, therefore, the number of credits it had earned.
In generating baseline data, Vestergaard calculated the quantum of emissions theoretically released from households that would ordinarily boil drinking water if they had access to sufficient fuel and resources.
It earned Vestergaard nearly 4.5 million credits during a 32-month period ending in January 2014, which the company could sell in the market or on its website for $12.95 each.
Pickering's team found that only 19 per cent of households reported continued use of the free filters two to three years after receiving them — four times fewer households than reported by Vestergaard's internal monitoring.

This is an homage to Brindisa Ltd.'s legendary chorizo, piquillo pepper and rocket roll; one of the first and still one of the best street foods in London.
This one-tray sausage dish is rich, piquant and deceptively luxurious. It's simple to cook, though the specific sausages are essential. These can be found at good market delis and online if you can't make it to Borough. Also note that the addition of the ingredients to the roasting tin are staggered to ensure everything peaks at the same time.
Find a roasting tin that snugly fits the sausages and spring onions in a single layer. Cut any stringy roots from the spring onions and roughly chop the dark green ends, to leave onions around 8–10cm in length. Add these, the chopped spring onion ends and the sausages to the roasting tin. Roll the sausages and onions in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until glossy. Cook towards the top of the oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, tear the ciabatta into thumb width croutons. Place in a mixing bowl and toss with the remaining olive oil, thyme leaves, the finely grated zest of the lemon, and a good pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper.
Remove the roasting tin from the oven and shuffle the sausages and spring onions to hide the browner spots. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C fan/200C/400F/gas mark 6. Add the garlic slices to the roasting tin, pour in the sherry and stock, and place on a slightly lower shelf in the oven for a further 15 minutes, turning the sausages once during that time.
Push the pepper halves among the sausages and onions and scatter the croutons over the top – where possible ensuring they sit on dry land, rather than in a puddle. Place the tin on the top shelf of the oven this time, cooking for 15 minutes more so that the croutons turn crisp and golden.
Serve with a wedge of lemon on each plate, plus fistfuls of peppery wild rocket to mop up the juices.

Yes, I've managed to kick my recent Danish fixation. And yes, that EU Constitutional Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) got underway this past weekend, starting with a one-day EU summit meeting on Saturday attended by heads of state and/or heads of government of all 15 current EU members, the 10 members-states which will join the EU at the beginning of next May, and 3 other states slated to join somewhat later as well (namely Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey). They were welcomed by current EU President Silvio Berlusconi, who called for an "act of will" from out of the assembled delegations, to come up with a version of the Constitution acceptable to all by Christmas. As President, Berlusconi got to speak first, and got to speak a little longer, and he was followed by five minutes' remarks from European Commission president Romano Prodi, then European Parliament president Pat Cox, then from leaders of each of the 28 national delegations. "After everyone had spoken, basically nothing had been said, much less discussed," comments Die Zeit's article on the proceedings, Strength-of-Will, At Least up until Christmas, which, although I'm indebted to it for many of the above details, I found otherwise disappointing in its low quotient of actual analysis.
Maybe it was just too early to be able to say anything truly profound. Those heads of state/government couldn't hang around for long – they're a busy bunch of Euro-men and -women – meaning that it was their representatives, generally the foreign ministers, who were left behind to roll up their sleeves and start getting into the details. I've found good coverage about this part – the rest of the story, so to speak – in a series of articles from the Belgian on-line Gazet van Antwerpen.
Things, then, are already looking difficult. But fear not: EU fireman Guy Verhofstadt (who is prime minister of Belgium) is soon planning to hit the road on a "diplomatic offensive" to meet with various EU heads of government to get some progress going at the IGC, or so according to the GVA's follow-on article (of today) Government Conference: Verhofstadt Prepares a Diplomatic Forcing. Verhofstadt's plan is somewhat obvious (if only because things always seem to turn out this way when the EU encounters difficult negotiations): If the ministers at Rome can do nothing but squabble, then simply take away their authority, their room to maneuver, and instead iron things out at further EU heads-of-government summits. There's already supposed to be one of those, in Brussels, later on this month; now the talk is of adding yet another (presumably in Italy) for November – all this in addition to the end-of-presidency summit in Rome in December, which is where Italy fondly hopes to be able to stage the signing of the final-form Constitution, as another Treaty of Rome.
Fat chance of that, if further stagnation threatens. As our friend Lous Michel put it, "The new members must comprehend that they can't have the butter, the money for the butter, and all the rest at the same time." And just today Poland's premier Leszek Miller was due in Brussels to have a little chat there with Guy Verhofstadt.

Q: Generics and compareTo() method I am trying to make a SkipList and I have a method that takes a generic data type:
public void add(E key, Integer value)
{
    Node<E> p;
    p = find(key);
}

Which takes you here:
public Node<E> find(E key)
{
    //Start at head
    Node<E> p = head;

    while (true)
    {
        while ( (p.getRight().getKey() != Node.posInf) && (p.getRight().getKey().compareTo(key) <= 0 ))
        {
            p.setRight(p.getRight());
        }

        //More stuff down here
    }
}

The problem is on the compareTo() method. It says the compareTo() method is undefined for type E. In Eclipse it wants me to add two typecasts like this:
((String) p.getRight().getKey().compareTo((String) key) <= 0 )
Why does it want String? The data type could be anything. I tried doing typecast of E instead but Eclipse wants to change it back to String. Any help would be appreciated.

A: You haven't shown how E is defined, but the error message indicates that you didn't place an upper bound of Comparable<E> on the declaration of E.
You can accomplish that with something like this on your class:
public class SkipList<E extends Comparable<E>>

This will allow you to call compareTo on your key variable of type E.
As to why Eclipse is suggesting casting to a String, it looks like Eclipse is guessing as to what would be the best change to make to make it compile.  It may have guessed String because it's Comparable<String>.  In this case, it's wrong, because E isn't necessarily a String.  The solution here is different, as I stated above: restrict E to be Comparable<E>.

A: The method compareTo is defined in the interface java.lang.Comparable. There is nothing in your code that tells the compiler that the type parameter E is Comparable. You can do this in the generic type declaration:
class Node<E extends Comparable<E>> {
   ...
}

By default if you don't declare extends Comparable, you can only access methods defined in the java.lang.Object class.

My Modest Proposal for Solving the "Meaning of Life Problem"—and Reducing Global Conflict
This post was inspired, in part, by a recent conversation with two friends that followed a familiar pattern. My friends have adopted a Buddhist practice that makes them feel good.
By John Horgan on October 19, 2013
This post was inspired, in part, by a recent conversation with two friends that followed a familiar pattern. My friends have adopted a Buddhist practice that makes them feel good. They urged me to try it, and I said I'm just not into Buddhism or any other spiritual path; I'm fine bumbling along in my usual fashion, gabbing with my students about why Freud isn't dead, knocking particle physics on my blog, fretting over my kids, watching Homeland with my girlfriend.
My friends became annoyed. They seemed to feel I was condescending to Buddhism and hence to them. Hoping for a truce, I said that we were, in effect, arguing about the "meaning of life," and that all such arguments are silly, because the meaning of life is a totally personal issue.
My friends reacted with shrugs rather than eager agreement. At the risk of confusing or irritating even more people, I'll try here to explain more clearly what I meant. In so doing, I hope to solve once and for all what I call the "Meaning of Life Problem."
First, let me define "meaning of life." It is whatever gives you joy, or consoles you when life has got you down. It is something you believe or do that makes your life worth living. And by "you" I mean not the collective you but the individual you, unlike every other person past, present or future.
Long ago, some of our ancestors came up with the idea that there must be One True Meaning of Life—one optimal set of beliefs, behaviors, values--for everyone. The most obvious embodiments of this idea are religions such as Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Scientology, each of which—to true believers—represents The Meaning of Life. The One and Only True Meaning.
If you don't dig religion, you may still insist that some meanings of life are better than all others. The pursuit of scientific knowledge, for example, or artistic illumination, or social justice, or freedom, or pleasure, or power and glory. Socrates implied that there is one optimal meaning of life when he said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." I loathe this aphorism. I enjoy pondering existence myself now and then, but I certainly don't fault those who prefer, say, fly fishing or fantasy football.
When we assert that our favorite meaning of life is objectively, universally valid, we are committing what philosophers call a category error. We are placing the meaning of life in the same category as truth, which can indeed be objective and universal (in spite of what Thomas Kuhn and other misguided skeptics would have us believe).
The meaning of life belongs in the category of beauty, not truth. It is an aesthetic and hence fundamentally subjective phenomenon. You are moved by the Upanishads, the Koran, The Interpretation of Dreams. I prefer Emily Dickinson, James Joyce, Breaking Bad. You believe in Allah or in Nirvana. I believe in free will and the imminent end of war.
In other words, what makes life meaningful is a matter of taste. Arguing that your meaning is better than someone else's is like arguing that strawberry ice cream tastes better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, or that Walt Whitman's Song of Myself is superior to Song of Solomon, or that Bach beats The Beatles.
You demanding that I love Jesus is as absurd as me demanding that you love my girlfriend (although she is awfully lovable).
There are as many possible meanings of life as there are individuals. "Plushies" and "furries," for example, are people who have sex with stuffed animals or dress up in furry animal suits and have sex with each other. This behavior doesn't appeal to me. But neither does being celibate and praying or meditating all day, which some religions have exalted as the best thing that you can do with your life.
My meaning of life isn't even absolute for me, because it keeps changing as the circumstances of my life change. When I was young, I couldn't imagine having kids. Who needs the hassle? Now my well-being is inextricably entwined with the well-being of my son and daughter. But I would no more urge my childless friends to have kids than I would exhort my gay friends to go straight.
It's natural, if you find something that delights you, to want to share your discovery with others. I recently raced through all the novels of Jane Austen, and I've been raving about her to strangers at parties. But I accept that you can have a perfectly wonderful life without ever reading Jane Austen. After all, my life wasn't so bad before I discovered her.
I'm not a total relativist. We can and should make judgments about the empirical plausibility and practical advisability of various beliefs and behaviors. But even if we rule out ideologies like young-earth creationism and white supremacy, that leaves lots of room for diversity. And most of the harmful consequences of beliefs stem from the insistence of believers that everyone agree with them.
I'm critical of religions that purport to be uniquely "true," or that make empirical claims (for the therapeutic benefits of meditation, for example) that I find dubious. But I'm also critical of militant atheists who denigrate all beliefs that supposedly contradict their cramped, reductionist vision of reality. Science has told us a lot about how the world works, but reality is in many ways still as baffling as ever.
Hence I try to be tolerant toward people who have a greater capacity to suspend disbelief than I do about matters such as extra-sensory perception. The geneticist Francis Collins, who leads the National Institutes of Health, manages somehow to believe in modern physics and biology and in a loving God who occasionally performs miracles. As long as he doesn't insist that I share his outlook, power to him!
So what does all this have to do with "Global Conflict," which I mentioned in my headline? The notion that there is one true meaning of life is not only wrong. It may be the worst idea that humans have ever invented, in terms of how much harm it has caused.
If we can all accept that there is no universal Meaning of Life--and that each person must find his or her own unique, personal meaning—imagine how much more peaceful the world would be! My belief in this possibility helps make my life more bearable—and meaningful.

Shaping change: Greiner publishes its first sustainability report
12/06/2019 | 5 min read
Theresa Wieser
The plastics processor and foam manufacturer Greiner, which is based in Kremsmünster, Austria, is about to publish the first Sustainability Report in its company history. This will not only provide a detailed account of the group's commitment to sustainability, but also define measureable targets such as the establishment of a cyclical economic approach and the halving of emissions by 2030.
Kremsmünster, 12 June 2019. Ambitious, committed and future-oriented are the adjectives that Axel Kühner, the Greiner AG CEO, uses to describe the initial Greiner Sustainability Report, which will be published on 12 June 2019. The report highlights the sustainability measures initiated by the group worldwide and tackles current ecological and social issues. Axel Kühner, "The presentation of our Sustainability Report constitutes an absolute milestone, as in it we undertake an obligation to make a tangible and, above all, measureable contribution to sustainable development."
Sustainability as a cross-sectional subject
Although Greiner has established focal points such as those regarding circular economy and CO2 reduction, the group nevertheless regards sustainability as a cross-sectional subject. Because, as Hannes Moser, the Greiner AG CFO, explains, "Apart from plainly evident areas such as environment-friendly product design and responsible material employment, sustainability also means being a good and reliable employer that appreciates the individuality and diversity of its workforce. Moreover, both sustainable management, which involves long-term and transparent relations with all stakeholders and the securing of profit-oriented growth are matters equally inherent to the sustainability thematic area."
A focus on circular economy
During 2018, the various impacts of plastics were dealt with extensively on a European level and initial regulations for the industry followed. Greiner welcomes the new EU plastics strategy and in fact has been working on sustainable solutions for a number of years. Indeed in 2016, which was well before the topic of plastic waste came to dominate the day-to-day media agenda, socially and environmentally acceptable conduct was already anchored within the group through the introduction of the binding "Plastics for Life" sustainability strategy. During 2017, there followed the installation of sustainability management across the entire concern and now comes its first Sustainability Report. Accordingly, group activities aimed at product portfolio modification with respect to recycling capacity, increased innovation in line with sustainability and the establishment of a cyclical economic approach, not only represent measures in accordance with the European strategy for plastics, but go beyond the statutory requirements and constitute key issues with regard to which Greiner leads by example.
Targets as a corporate development blueprint
The objectives contained in the Sustainability Report partly extend up to the year 2030. They form a blueprint for the future development of the group and more than meet the demands of the EU's plastics strategy. The targets from the introduction of an internal carbon pricing system by 2020 and the promise that by 2025 all the plastic packaging manufactured will be suitable for recycling, reuse or composting, to an assurance that all problematic and superfluous plastic packaging will be eliminated and an obligation that by 2025 a considerable percentage of the material employed will emanate from recycling. Axel Kühner, "The latest example of these endeavors is a shampoo bottle, which is produced entirely from recycled polyolefins. It has an attractive design and offers both optimum product protection and outstanding environmental compatibility. The recycled material for this product, which is also 100 percent recyclable, is obtained from plastic milk bottles that were collected in the UK. In fact, the motto, "designed for recyclability" was a primary consideration from the very start of this development."
It is also worthy of note that the Greiner Sustainability Report foresees the occupation by women of 35% of managerial posts by 2025, as well as a 53% cut in specific CO2 emissions and an increase in the share of renewable energy in electricity purchases to 90% by 2030.

Q: Does gravity spread instantly?
Possible Duplicate:
The speed of gravity

I am real noob in physics, so sorry if this question is really stupid.
Today in a casual conversation I claimed that if the sun were to instantly disappear, we would have felt it in any way nos ooner than after about 8 minutes(which is the distance in light minutes from Earth to Sun). My friend said that light-wise I am right, but we would instantly have felt the gravitation change. I argued that gravitation doesn't spread faster than light.
Am I right or is he right?
Thanks in advance and sorry again for the noob Q :)

A: First of all, Sun can not just disappear.
Answering the question, gravity does change with the speed of light: gravity waves have a speed of light (formally, the answer is more complex as the speed of light is affected by gravity itself, but to make the long answer short it is a speed of light). Thus, if masses and their configuration change the resulting gravity field changes with the speed of light.
Google gravitation waves.

A: This question has been asked before: How fast does gravity propagate?
Your friend is definitely wrong, but there's also a problem with your example. General relativity doesn't allow matter to be created or destroyed. (Technically the way to say this is that GR has local conservation of energy-momentum.) If you put in an assumption that matter is destroyed, then the equations of general relativity are not self-consistent, so they don't predict anything. To fix up your example, it would be better to imagine that the sun was suddenly yanked out of the solar system at high speed. In that case, we would feel the change in gravity 8 minutes later, at the same time as the change in sunlight.
General relativity predicts that disturbances in the gravitational field propagate as gravitational waves, and that low-amplitude gravitational waves travel at the speed of light. Gravitational waves have never been detected directly, but the loss of energy from the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar has been checked to high precision against GR's predictions of the power emitted in the form of gravitational waves. Therefore it is extremely unlikely that there is anything seriously wrong with general relativity's description of gravitational waves.
Why does it make sense that low-amplitude waves propagate at c? In Newtonian gravity, gravitational effects are assumed to propagate at infinite speed, so that for example the lunar tides correspond at any time to the position of the moon at the same instant. This clearly can't be true in relativity, since simultaneity isn't something that different observers even agree on. Not only should the "speed of gravity" be finite, but it seems implausible that that it would be greater than c; based on symmetry properties of spacetime, one can prove that there must be a maximum speed of cause and effect.[Ignatowsky, Pal] Although the argument is only applicable to special relativity, i.e., to a flat spacetime, it seems likely to apply to general relativity as well, at least for low-amplitude waves on a flat background. As early as 1913, before Einstein had even developed the full theory of general relativity, he had carried out calculations in the weak-field limit that showed that gravitational effects should propagate at c. This seems eminently reasonable, since (a) it is likely to be consistent with causality, and (b) G and c are the only constants with units that appear in the field equations, and the only velocity-scale that can be constructed from these two constants is c itself.
High-amplitude gravitational waves need not propagate at c. For example, GR predicts that a gravitational-wave pulse propagating on a background of curved spacetime develops a trailing edge that propagates at less than c.[MTW, p. 957] This effect is weak when the amplitude is small or the wavelength is short compared to the scale of the background curvature.

MUMBAI: Over 10 years after she was forced to leave her matrimonial house with her two children, a Muslim woman now has a reason to smile. The Bombay high court recently held that she was entitled to maintenance from her husband under section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
Abdul Majid (44), a labourer from Wardha, had challenged the judgments and orders passed by the lower courts awarding maintenance to his wife, Saidabano (34) and their two children—Abdul Kadir (15) and Shirinbano (13). His lawyer argued that as he was divorced, his wife was not entitled to claim maintenance under the CrPC, which deals with enforcing a claim for maintenance against a husband by a wife who is neglected. He said there was no proof of neglect against the husband or his refusal to maintain his wife. The husband's lawyer argued and the matter be reheard.
Saidabano's lawyer argued that in a judgment 2010, the Supreme Court in Shabana Bano versus Imran Khan case held that even a divorced wife is entitled to maintenance under section 125 of the CrPC.
The wife has been away for 10 years with no maintenance and support from her husband and her lawyer said it would be unjust to send the case back to the lower court for a fresh hearing after all this time. The HC read the deposition of the wife before the lower court. In it she said she was asked to shell out Rs 25,000 to help her husband set up a shop and that she was harassed and threatened by her father-in-law. She finally left the house.
Justice A B Chaudhari of the HC's Nagpur bench, observed that the lower courts had come to a finding that the talaknama did not exist and hence there was no divorce before the maintenance application was filed. While the summary findings on the existence of a divorce were open for adjudication by a higher court, the HC noted that the law as laid down by the SC recently ensured that Saidabano's plea was "surely maintainable''.
The HC judge looked at the deposition made years ago by the woman and her cross examination. He found that her evidence "has not been shattered in the cross examination''. He said there is "no reason to disbelieve the evidence about ill-treatment, refusal and neglect'' and dismissed the husband's petition.

(STL.News) – The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded more than $100 million in grant funding through its Healthy Start Initiative: Eliminating Disparities in Perinatal Health (known as Healthy Start). Administered by HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Healthy Start aims to improve health outcomes before, during, and after pregnancy; and, to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in rates of infant death as well as negative health outcomes in the first 18 months of life.
Through Healthy Start, 100 organizations serving communities with infant mortality rates at least 1.5 times the U.S. national average, and with high rates of other negative maternal and infant outcomes, will receive up to $1.1 million each year over five years. Grantees include public and private entities, as well as faith-based, community-based, and tribal organizations.
Funding will support a wide range of services for women, children, and families, including: healthcare coordination; case management; linkage to social services; screening and counseling for alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use; breastfeeding support; interconception education; child development education; and, parenting support. In addition, funding will strengthen the health workforce to provide such services, build a more effective and efficient service-delivery system, and promote and improve health equity across participating organizations.
