Німецька консервативна партія (, DKP) — права політична партія існувала у Німецькій імперії в 1876—1918 рр.

Виникнення
Партія була заснована 7 червня 1876 року з дуже різних консервативно налаштованих груп. Вона визнала Конституцію Німецької імперії і виступала за збереження монархічних повноважень, зміцнення релігії, проти централізму і парламентаризму, а також за боротьбу із соціал-демократією. Німецька консервативна партія стала правонаступницею старої пруської Консервативної партії, але на відміну від неї отримала вплив і за межами Пруссії, в деяких інших державах Німецької імперії. Першим головою партії став депутат рейхстагу Отто фон Хельдорф. Програма партії була докладно обговорена з Бісмарком.
Головним друкованим органом партії була «Нова пруська газета» («Neue Preußische Zeitung»), більш відома як «Хрестова газета» («Kreuzzeitung») через зображення Залізного хреста в назві.

Політика
Виборчим оплотом партії були Східна Пруссія, Померанія і Мекленбург. Завдяки трьохстановому виборчому праву, що допускав до виборів лише впливові стани, консерватори мали сильну владу прусської палати депутатів. Партія представляла інтереси прусських поміщиків, великих землевласників, аристократії, протестантського духовенства і генералітету. Підтримувала інститути монархізму в боротьбі з парламентаризмом. Була прихильницею єдності Німецької імперії, але разом з тим виступала проти централізму, розчинення Пруссії в Німеччині, тим самим підтримуючи принципи федералізму.
Партія носила частково антисемітський характер, так, наприклад, під час виборчої кампанії 1881 року була використана широка антисемітська пропаганда.
Консерватори не підтримали політику «Культуркампфа» Бісмарка, а після його відставки опинилися в опозиції до ліберальної економічної політики нового канцлера Лео фон Капріві.
У 1892 році під впливом Адольфа Штокера була прийнята програма партії проти «розтлінного єврейського впливу» і проти соціал-демократії.
У 1889 році Німецька консервативна партія разом з партією Центру виступили проти будівництва Среднегерманского каналу, відмовившись надати кошти на цей проект, що викликало політичну кризу в країні.
Під час правління канцлера Бернгард фон Бюлова партія зблизилася з імперським урядом, черех його політику підтримки сільського господарства, але надалі відхилила всі пропозиції по ліберальному реформуванню в області економіки, фінансів та ін., і сприяла відставці уряду фон Бюлова в 1909 році. Німецькі консерватори всіляко підтримували домінуючу роль Пруссії в Німецькій імперії, підтримали усі проекти по армії і флоту, але в той же час колоніальну політику підтримували неохоче. Таким чином дистанціюючись від пан-німецької програми.
Як партія не мала масової підтримки, вона шукала підкріплення у створеному в 1893 році «Союз сільських господарів» (Bund der Landwirte), в якому задавали тон великі прусські аграрії, і багато з них підтримували її.

Німецька консервативна партія була розпущена після падіння монархії і революції 1918 року, більшість її членів взяло участь у створенні Німецької національної народної партії (Deutschnationale Volkspartei, DNVP).

Khufu's solar boat moves to Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
8 August, 2021 - (5:23 PM)
Sanaa' Farouk
Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism has moved the solar boat of King Khufu from its 1985 museum at the foot of the Pyramid to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) on the close-by Giza Pyramids Plateau. King Khufu reigned over Egypt in 2589 – 2566BC and built the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The 20-ton, 42-metre-long boat was moved on a smart vehicle, in a 10-hour trip that began late on Friday 6 August and ended at its new permanent location at GEM early the following day, Saturday 7 August.
General Supervisor of the GEM Project Atef Moftah said that the move was a significant, complex feat on the engineering and archaeological levels, that took more than a year to study, explore and plan. It was suggested that the boat might be dismantled then reconstructed at the GEM but, Mr Moftah said, this was deemed a hazardous process. The final decision was to move the boat in one piece.
The Ministry said the move aimed to "protect and preserve the biggest and oldest organic artefact made of wood in the history of humanity."
It will be displayed at the GEM alongside tens of thousands of antiquities, including the famed Tutankhamen mask and collection, and the Ramses the Great colossus.
The solar boat was the barge believed to carry the soul of the deceased into the realm of eternity. Two solar boats that belonged to King Khufu were found in 1954 buried in pits at the foot of his great pyramid some 2,500 years ago. The ropes binding the wooden pieces that formed the boats had disintegrated, but the wooden components were found intact, lying close to one another. One boat was restored and reconstructed, and was placed in a museum built by the Japanese in 1985 a few metres away from where the boat was found on the southern foothill of the pyramid. This is the one recently moved to the GEM.
The second solar boat has been undergoing reconstruction and restoration at GEM in a Japanese-sponsored project.
GEM receives 30 wooden pieces of Khufu's second solar boat
GEM was scheduled to open in 2020, but the grand opening was postponed on account of COVID-19; it is expected to open by the end of 2021. The museum's foundation stone was laid by President Hosni Mubarak in 2002. Proclaimed as the largest archaeologist museum in the world, the museum is built on an area of 120 acres of land, about two kilometres from the Pyramids of Giza, and is a major landmark of the new master plan for the plateau.
In 2007, a USD300 million loan was secured from Japan to build the GEM. The Egyptian government has funded the project with over USD147 million; and the remaining USD150 million have been funded through donations and international organisations.
The 3,200 year old statue of Ramses II, known as Ramses the Great, which once stood tall in Ramses Square in central Cairo, was moved to GEM in 2006 and now graces the museum's foyer with the museum building surrounding it.
Hail Ramses!

Industrial production in the 16 states that use the euro fell a record 21.6% in April, compared with the same month last year, according to Eurostat.
It was worse than had been expected and followed March's figure of 19.3%. The month-on-month fall was 1.9%.
The figures contrast with the latest UK production data, which showed a monthly rise for the first time in more than a year during April.
Japan's production grew 5.9% in April compared with March's figure.
"The April industrial production data for the eurozone are very disappointing and raise concern that the region is lagging in terms of signs of recession easing," said Howard Archer at IHS Global Insight.
Industrial production accounts for about 17% of total output in the eurozone and the figures have raised concerns that its economy could shrink by more than had been expected in the second quarter of the year.
The European Commission predicts that the eurozone economy will contract by 0.6% between April and June.

Non-right Triangles: Law of Cosines
In this section, you will:
Use the Law of Cosines to solve oblique triangles.
Solve applied problems using the Law of Cosines.
Use Heron's formula to find the area of a triangle.
Suppose a boat leaves port, travels 10 miles, turns 20 degrees, and travels another 8 miles as shown in (Figure). How far from port is the boat?
Unfortunately, while the Law of Sines enables us to address many non-right triangle cases, it does not help us with triangles where the known angle is between two known sides, a SAS (side-angle-side) triangle, or when all three sides are known, but no angles are known, a SSS (side-side-side) triangle. In this section, we will investigate another tool for solving oblique triangles described by these last two cases.
Using the Law of Cosines to Solve Oblique Triangles
The tool we need to solve the problem of the boat's distance from the port is the Law of Cosines, which defines the relationship among angle measurements and side lengths in oblique triangles. Three formulas make up the Law of Cosines. At first glance, the formulas may appear complicated because they include many variables. However, once the pattern is understood, the Law of Cosines is easier to work with than most formulas at this mathematical level.
Understanding how the Law of Cosines is derived will be helpful in using the formulas. The derivation begins with the Generalized Pythagorean Theorem, which is an extension of the Pythagorean Theorem to non-right triangles. Here is how it works: An arbitrary non-right triangle[latex]\,ABC\,[/latex]is placed in the coordinate plane with vertex[latex]\,A\,[/latex]at the origin, side[latex]\,c\,[/latex]drawn along the x-axis, and vertex[latex]\,C\,[/latex]located at some point[latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex]in the plane, as illustrated in (Figure). Generally, triangles exist anywhere in the plane, but for this explanation we will place the triangle as noted.
We can drop a perpendicular from[latex]\,C\,[/latex]to the x-axis (this is the altitude or height). Recalling the basic trigonometric identities, we know that
[latex]\mathrm{cos}\,\theta =\frac{x\text{(adjacent)}}{b\text{(hypotenuse)}}\text{ and }\mathrm{sin}\,\theta =\frac{y\text{(opposite)}}{b\text{(hypotenuse)}}[/latex]
In terms of[latex]\,\theta ,\text{ }x=b\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \,[/latex]and[latex]y=b\mathrm{sin}\,\theta .\text{ }[/latex]The[latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex]point located at[latex]\,C\,[/latex]has coordinates[latex]\,\left(b\mathrm{cos}\,\theta ,\,\,b\mathrm{sin}\,\theta \right).\,[/latex]Using the side[latex]\,\left(x-c\right)\,[/latex]as one leg of a right triangle and[latex]\,y\,[/latex]as the second leg, we can find the length of hypotenuse[latex]\,a\,[/latex]using the Pythagorean Theorem. Thus,
[latex]\begin{array}{llllll} {a}^{2}={\left(x-c\right)}^{2}+{y}^{2}\hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \text{ }={\left(b\mathrm{cos}\,\theta -c\right)}^{2}+{\left(b\mathrm{sin}\,\theta \right)}^{2}\hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Substitute }\left(b\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \right)\text{ for}\,x\,\,\text{and }\left(b\mathrm{sin}\,\theta \right)\,\text{for }y.\hfill \\ \text{ }=\left({b}^{2}{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}\theta -2bc\mathrm{cos}\,\theta +{c}^{2}\right)+{b}^{2}{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}\theta \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Expand the perfect square}.\hfill \\ \text{ }={b}^{2}{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}\theta +{b}^{2}{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}\theta +{c}^{2}-2bc\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Group terms noting that }{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}\theta +{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}\theta =1.\hfill \\ \text{ }={b}^{2}\left({\mathrm{cos}}^{2}\theta +{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}\theta \right)+{c}^{2}-2bc\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Factor out }{b}^{2}.\hfill \\ {a}^{2}={b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-2bc\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \end{array}[/latex]
The formula derived is one of the three equations of the Law of Cosines. The other equations are found in a similar fashion.
Keep in mind that it is always helpful to sketch the triangle when solving for angles or sides. In a real-world scenario, try to draw a diagram of the situation. As more information emerges, the diagram may have to be altered. Make those alterations to the diagram and, in the end, the problem will be easier to solve.
Law of Cosines
The Law of Cosines states that the square of any side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides minus twice the product of the other two sides and the cosine of the included angle. For triangles labeled as in (Figure), with angles[latex]\,\alpha ,\beta ,[/latex] and[latex]\,\gamma ,[/latex] and opposite corresponding sides[latex]\,a,b,[/latex] and[latex]\,c,\,[/latex]respectively, the Law of Cosines is given as three equations.
[latex]\begin{array}{l}{a}^{2}={b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-2bc\,\,\mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \\ {b}^{2}={a}^{2}+{c}^{2}-2ac\,\,\mathrm{cos}\,\beta \\ {c}^{2}={a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-2ab\,\,\mathrm{cos}\,\gamma \end{array}[/latex]
To solve for a missing side measurement, the corresponding opposite angle measure is needed.
When solving for an angle, the corresponding opposite side measure is needed. We can use another version of the Law of Cosines to solve for an angle.
[latex]\begin{array}{l}\hfill \\ \begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}\hfill \\ \mathrm{cos}\text{ }\alpha =\frac{{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}}{2bc}\hfill \end{array}\hfill \\ \mathrm{cos}\text{ }\beta =\frac{{a}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{b}^{2}}{2ac}\hfill \\ \mathrm{cos}\text{ }\gamma =\frac{{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}}{2ab}\hfill \end{array}\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
Given two sides and the angle between them (SAS), find the measures of the remaining side and angles of a triangle.
Sketch the triangle. Identify the measures of the known sides and angles. Use variables to represent the measures of the unknown sides and angles.
Apply the Law of Cosines to find the length of the unknown side or angle.
Apply the Law of Sines or Cosines to find the measure of a second angle.
Compute the measure of the remaining angle.
Finding the Unknown Side and Angles of a SAS Triangle
Find the unknown side and angles of the triangle in (Figure).
First, make note of what is given: two sides and the angle between them. This arrangement is classified as SAS and supplies the data needed to apply the Law of Cosines.
Each one of the three laws of cosines begins with the square of an unknown side opposite a known angle. For this example, the first side to solve for is side[latex]\,b,\,[/latex]as we know the measurement of the opposite angle[latex]\,\beta .[/latex]
[latex]\begin{array}{ll}{b}^{2}={a}^{2}+{c}^{2}-2ac\mathrm{cos}\,\beta \hfill & \hfill \\ {b}^{2}={10}^{2}+{12}^{2}-2\left(10\right)\left(12\right)\mathrm{cos}\left({30}^{\circ }\right)\begin{array}{cccc}& & & \end{array}\hfill & \text{Substitute the measurements for the known quantities}.\hfill \\ {b}^{2}=100+144-240\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\hfill & \text{Evaluate the cosine and begin to simplify}.\hfill \\ {b}^{2}=244-120\sqrt{3}\hfill & \hfill \\ \,\,\,b=\sqrt{244-120\sqrt{3}}\hfill & \,\text{Use the square root property}.\hfill \\ \,\,\,b\approx 6.013\hfill & \hfill \end{array}[/latex]
Because we are solving for a length, we use only the positive square root. Now that we know the length[latex]\,b,\,[/latex]we can use the Law of Sines to fill in the remaining angles of the triangle. Solving for angle[latex]\,\alpha ,\,[/latex]we have
[latex]\begin{array}{ll}\frac{\mathrm{sin}\,\alpha }{a}=\frac{\mathrm{sin}\,\beta }{b}\hfill & \hfill \\ \frac{\mathrm{sin}\,\alpha }{10}=\frac{\mathrm{sin}\left(30°\right)}{6.013}\hfill & \hfill \\ \,\mathrm{sin}\,\alpha =\frac{10\mathrm{sin}\left(30°\right)}{6.013}\hfill & \text{Multiply both sides of the equation by 10}.\hfill \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\alpha ={\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\frac{10\mathrm{sin}\left(30°\right)}{6.013}\right)\begin{array}{cccc}& & & \end{array}\hfill & \text{Find the inverse sine of }\frac{10\mathrm{sin}\left(30°\right)}{6.013}.\hfill \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\alpha \approx 56.3°\hfill & \hfill \end{array}[/latex]
The other possibility for[latex]\,\alpha \,[/latex]would be[latex]\,\alpha =180°–56.3°\approx 123.7°.\,[/latex]In the original diagram,[latex]\,\alpha \,[/latex]is adjacent to the longest side, so[latex]\,\alpha \,[/latex]is an acute angle and, therefore,[latex]\,123.7°\,[/latex]does not make sense. Notice that if we choose to apply the Law of Cosines, we arrive at a unique answer. We do not have to consider the other possibilities, as cosine is unique for angles between[latex]\,0°\,[/latex]and[latex]\,180°.\,[/latex]Proceeding with[latex]\,\alpha \approx 56.3°,\,[/latex]we can then find the third angle of the triangle.
[latex]\gamma =180°-30°-56.3°\approx 93.7°[/latex]
The complete set of angles and sides is
[latex]\begin{array}{ll}\alpha \approx 56.3°\begin{array}{cccc}& & & \end{array}\hfill & a=10\hfill \\ \beta =30°\hfill & b\approx 6.013\hfill \\ \,\gamma \approx 93.7°\hfill & c=12\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
Find the missing side and angles of the given triangle:[latex]\,\alpha =30°,\,\,b=12,\,\,c=24.[/latex]
[latex]a\approx 14.9,\,\,\beta \approx 23.8°,\,\,\gamma \approx 126.2°.[/latex]
Solving for an Angle of a SSS Triangle
Find the angle[latex]\,\alpha \,[/latex]for the given triangle if side[latex]\,a=20,\,[/latex]side[latex]\,b=25,\,[/latex]and side[latex]\,c=18.[/latex]
For this example, we have no angles. We can solve for any angle using the Law of Cosines. To solve for angle[latex]\,\alpha ,\,[/latex]we have
[latex]\begin{array}{llll}\hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \,\,\text{ }{a}^{2}={b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-2bc\mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \text{ }{20}^{2}={25}^{2}+{18}^{2}-2\left(25\right)\left(18\right)\mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Substitute the appropriate measurements}.\hfill \\ \text{ }400=625+324-900\mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Simplify in each step}.\hfill \\ \text{ }400=949-900\mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \,\text{ }-549=-900\mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Isolate cos }\alpha .\hfill \\ \text{ }\frac{-549}{-900}=\mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \,\text{ }0.61\approx \mathrm{cos}\,\alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ {\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(0.61\right)\approx \alpha \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \text{Find the inverse cosine}.\hfill \\ \text{ }\alpha \approx 52.4°\hfill & \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \end{array}[/latex]
See (Figure).
Because the inverse cosine can return any angle between 0 and 180 degrees, there will not be any ambiguous cases using this method.
Given[latex]\,a=5,b=7,\,[/latex]and[latex]\,c=10,\,[/latex]find the missing angles.
[latex]\alpha \approx 27.7°,\,\,\beta \approx 40.5°,\,\,\gamma \approx 111.8°[/latex]
Solving Applied Problems Using the Law of Cosines
Just as the Law of Sines provided the appropriate equations to solve a number of applications, the Law of Cosines is applicable to situations in which the given data fits the cosine models. We may see these in the fields of navigation, surveying, astronomy, and geometry, just to name a few.
Using the Law of Cosines to Solve a Communication Problem
On many cell phones with GPS, an approximate location can be given before the GPS signal is received. This is accomplished through a process called triangulation, which works by using the distances from two known points. Suppose there are two cell phone towers within range of a cell phone. The two towers are located 6000 feet apart along a straight highway, running east to west, and the cell phone is north of the highway. Based on the signal delay, it can be determined that the signal is 5050 feet from the first tower and 2420 feet from the second tower. Determine the position of the cell phone north and east of the first tower, and determine how far it is from the highway.
For simplicity, we start by drawing a diagram similar to (Figure) and labeling our given information.
Using the Law of Cosines, we can solve for the angle[latex]\,\theta .\,[/latex]Remember that the Law of Cosines uses the square of one side to find the cosine of the opposite angle. For this example, let[latex]\,a=2420,b=5050,\,[/latex]and[latex]\,c=6000.\,[/latex]Thus,[latex]\,\theta \,[/latex]corresponds to the opposite side[latex]\,a=2420.\,[/latex]
[latex]\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}\hfill \\ \,\text{ }{a}^{2}={b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-2bc\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \hfill \end{array}\hfill \\ \text{ }{\left(2420\right)}^{2}={\left(5050\right)}^{2}+{\left(6000\right)}^{2}-2\left(5050\right)\left(6000\right)\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \hfill \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,{\left(2420\right)}^{2}-{\left(5050\right)}^{2}-{\left(6000\right)}^{2}=-2\left(5050\right)\left(6000\right)\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \hfill \\ \text{ }\frac{{\left(2420\right)}^{2}-{\left(5050\right)}^{2}-{\left(6000\right)}^{2}}{-2\left(5050\right)\left(6000\right)}=\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \hfill \\ \text{ }\mathrm{cos}\,\theta \approx 0.9183\hfill \\ \text{ }\theta \approx {\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(0.9183\right)\hfill \\ \text{ }\theta \approx 23.3°\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
To answer the questions about the phone's position north and east of the tower, and the distance to the highway, drop a perpendicular from the position of the cell phone, as in (Figure). This forms two right triangles, although we only need the right triangle that includes the first tower for this problem.
Using the angle[latex]\,\theta =23.3°\,[/latex]and the basic trigonometric identities, we can find the solutions. Thus
[latex]\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}\hfill \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\mathrm{cos}\left(23.3°\right)=\frac{x}{5050}\hfill \end{array}\hfill \\ \text{ }x=5050\mathrm{cos}\left(23.3°\right)\hfill \\ \text{ }x\approx 4638.15\,\text{feet}\hfill \\ \text{ }\mathrm{sin}\left(23.3°\right)=\frac{y}{5050}\hfill \\ \text{ }y=5050\mathrm{sin}\left(23.3°\right)\hfill \\ \text{ }y\approx 1997.5\,\text{feet}\hfill \\ \hfill \end{array}[/latex]
The cell phone is approximately 4638 feet east and 1998 feet north of the first tower, and 1998 feet from the highway.
Calculating Distance Traveled Using a SAS Triangle
Returning to our problem at the beginning of this section, suppose a boat leaves port, travels 10 miles, turns 20 degrees, and travels another 8 miles. How far from port is the boat? The diagram is repeated here in (Figure).
The boat turned 20 degrees, so the obtuse angle of the non-right triangle is the supplemental angle,[latex]180°-20°=160°.\,[/latex]With this, we can utilize the Law of Cosines to find the missing side of the obtuse triangle—the distance of the boat to the port.
[latex]\begin{array}{l}\,{x}^{2}={8}^{2}+{10}^{2}-2\left(8\right)\left(10\right)\mathrm{cos}\left(160°\right)\hfill \\ \,{x}^{2}=314.35\hfill \\ \,\,\,\,x=\sqrt{314.35}\hfill \\ \,\,\,\,x\approx 17.7\,\text{miles}\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
The boat is about 17.7 miles from port.
Using Heron's Formula to Find the Area of a Triangle
We already learned how to find the area of an oblique triangle when we know two sides and an angle. We also know the formula to find the area of a triangle using the base and the height. When we know the three sides, however, we can use Heron's formula instead of finding the height. Heron of Alexandria was a geometer who lived during the first century A.D. He discovered a formula for finding the area of oblique triangles when three sides are known.
Heron's formula finds the area of oblique triangles in which sides[latex]\,a,b\text{,}[/latex]and[latex]\,c\,[/latex]are known.
[latex]\text{Area}=\sqrt{s\left(s-a\right)\left(s-b\right)\left(s-c\right)}[/latex]
where[latex]\,s=\frac{\left(a+b+c\right)}{2}\,[/latex] is one half of the perimeter of the triangle, sometimes called the semi-perimeter.
Using Heron's Formula to Find the Area of a Given Triangle
Find the area of the triangle in (Figure) using Heron's formula.
First, we calculate[latex]\,s.[/latex]
[latex]\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}\\ s=\frac{\left(a+b+c\right)}{2}\end{array}\hfill \\ s=\frac{\left(10+15+7\right)}{2}=16\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
Then we apply the formula.
[latex]\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}\\ \text{Area}=\sqrt{s\left(s-a\right)\left(s-b\right)\left(s-c\right)}\end{array}\hfill \\ \text{Area}=\sqrt{16\left(16-10\right)\left(16-15\right)\left(16-7\right)}\hfill \\ \text{Area}\approx 29.4\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
The area is approximately 29.4 square units.
Use Heron's formula to find the area of a triangle with sides of lengths[latex]\,a=29.7\,\text{ft},b=42.3\,\text{ft},\,[/latex]and[latex]\,c=38.4\,\text{ft}.[/latex]
Area = 552 square feet
Applying Heron's Formula to a Real-World Problem
A Chicago city developer wants to construct a building consisting of artist's lofts on a triangular lot bordered by Rush Street, Wabash Avenue, and Pearson Street. The frontage along Rush Street is approximately 62.4 meters, along Wabash Avenue it is approximately 43.5 meters, and along Pearson Street it is approximately 34.1 meters. How many square meters are available to the developer? See (Figure) for a view of the city property.
Find the measurement for[latex]\,s,\,[/latex]which is one-half of the perimeter.
[latex]\begin{array}{l}s=\frac{\left(62.4+43.5+34.1\right)}{2}\hfill \\ s=70\,\text{m}\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
Apply Heron's formula.
[latex]\begin{array}{l}\text{Area}=\sqrt{70\left(70-62.4\right)\left(70-43.5\right)\left(70-34.1\right)}\hfill \\ \text{Area}=\sqrt{506,118.2}\hfill \\ \text{Area}\approx 711.4\hfill \end{array}[/latex]
The developer has about 711.4 square meters.
Find the area of a triangle given[latex]\,a=4.38\,\text{ft}\,,b=3.79\,\text{ft,}\,[/latex]and[latex]\,c=5.22\,\text{ft}\text{.}[/latex]
about 8.15 square feet

The Law of Cosines defines the relationship among angle measurements and lengths of sides in oblique triangles.
The Generalized Pythagorean Theorem is the Law of Cosines for two cases of oblique triangles: SAS and SSS. Dropping an imaginary perpendicular splits the oblique triangle into two right triangles or forms one right triangle, which allows sides to be related and measurements to be calculated. See (Figure) and (Figure).
The Law of Cosines is useful for many types of applied problems. The first step in solving such problems is generally to draw a sketch of the problem presented. If the information given fits one of the three models (the three equations), then apply the Law of Cosines to find a solution. See (Figure) and (Figure).
Heron's formula allows the calculation of area in oblique triangles. All three sides must be known to apply Heron's formula. See (Figure) and See (Figure).

The Last Giant of Late Night
Jason Zinoman
New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman delivers the definitive story of the life and artistic legacy of David Letterman, the greatest television talk show host of all time and the signature comedic voice of a generation.
In a career spanning more than thirty years, David Letterman redefined the modern talk show with an ironic comic style that transcended traditional television. While he remains one of the most famous stars in America, he is a remote, even reclusive, figure whose career is widely misunderstood. In Letterman, Jason Zinoman, the first comedy critic in the history of the New York Times, mixes groundbreaking reporting with unprecedented access and probing critical analysis to explain the unique entertainer's titanic legacy. Moving from his early days in Indiana to his retirement, Zinoman goes behind the scenes of Letterman's television career to illuminate the origins of his revolutionary comedy, its overlooked influences, and how his work intersects with and reveals his famously eccentric personality.
Zinoman argues that Letterman had three great artistic periods, each distinct and part of his evolution. As he examines key broadcasting moments—"Stupid Pet Tricks" and other captivating segments that defined Late Night with David Letterman—he illuminates Letterman's relationship to his writers, and in particular, the show's co-creator, Merrill Markoe, with whom Letterman shared a long professional and personal connection.
To understand popular culture today, it's necessary to understand David Letterman. With this revealing biography, Zinoman offers a perceptive analysis of the man and the artist whose ironic voice and caustic meta-humor was critical to an entire generation of comedians and viewers—and whose singular style ushered in new tropes that have become clichés in comedy today.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Once upon a time, there were only two big late-night talk shows, and a guy named David Letterman hosted one of them. In Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night, the former Indianapolis weatherman is revealed in all his grouchy, groundbreaking glory. New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman delivers a sharply observed character sketch and a juicy, behind-the-scenes peek at the tumultuous business of TV comedy.

Couldn't finish the book
Very disappointed. I couldn't even finish this book. I really thought this was going to be about David lettermans life as a whole but this book was just about the details of his show and back stories I found boring. If u want a book about the show this book would probably be great for you but if you are looking to read a book about the man this won't be for you.

Another Happy Client in just One dog training Lesson with Unleashed Potential!
Check out this Testimonial for one of our UPK9 Dog trainers!
Hi my name is John and I wanted to share a little about my unbelievable experience while training with Unleashed Potential dog training.
I recently adopted a seven year old Siberian Husky from a Husky rescue organization in Nova Scotia. The rescue organization told me when I adopted her that she was a lead dog on a sled team. This has made it impossible to walk her.
Regardless of what method or tools I used, I could not seem to stop her from pulling. I even tried a gentle leader that came highly recommended by a local pet store, however this actually seemed to make her pull even worse. No matter what I tried she would pull me, like she was pulling a sled.
After just ONE lesson with, a professional dog trainer from Unleashed Potential, I now have the problem 95% under control.
We are very happy with the service, this has allowed us to enjoy our dog more fully, and we highly recommend Unleashed Potential to anyone we can!!
We will help you Unleash your dogs potential!

Q: GNU Screen: run arbitrary command in the status bar? Is it possible to get GNU Screen to display the output of an arbitrary command, e.g. who | wc -l, in the status bar, refreshing it, say, every minute?

A: Yes you can using the backtick feature.
Backtick
You put a line in your screenrc file:
backtick 1 0 5 /bin/date

If I understand correctly, it means backtick id 1, which runs command /bin/date, produces output valid for 0 seconds and the caption/hardstatus should be updated every 5 seconds.
Now, you can use the string %1` inside your hardstatus for substitution, eg
hardstatus alwayslastline "date output: %1`"

In your case, I think you'll have to write a script. For example, $HOME/my_script.sh:
#!/bin/bash
who | wc -l

In your ~/.screenrc:
backtick 1 0 60 $HOME/my_script.sh

Pokémon Go Finally Appears in European App Stores
Posted by Killian Bell on Jul 13, 2016 in Games, iOS Apps, iPad Games, iPhone Games
Pokémon Go, the hit new game from Niantic Labs, is finally making its way to Europe. The game has already been available in the U.S. and a small number of other countries for just over a week, and it has become insanely popular during that time.
Not every European country can get Pokémon Go just yet; the title is currently appearing in the App Store in Germany, according to The Verge — but it is expected to go live in other territories soon, providing there are no hiccups.
A recent report from The Wall Street Journal revealed that Pokémon Go is also scheduled to hit the U.K. and Japan this week. One of the reasons for the delayed launch is server issues due to overwhelming demand for the game.
On Tuesday, Pokémon Go for iOS was updated to address privacy concerns over Google accounts. Many players weren't aware that signing in with their Google ID gave the game full access to their account — but this has since been resolved.
To take advantage of the early success of Pokémon Go, Nintendo has reduced the price of the original Pokémon games on Nintendo 3DS. Between July 14 and July 28 Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Red, and Pokémon Yellow will cost 30 percent less in the Nintendo eShop.
If Pokémon Go still isn't available where you live, there is a way you can get your hands on the title early on iOS — just follow our tutorial. However, if you use Android, it's recommended you wait for it to arrive in Google Play; many unofficial Pokémon Go APKs are now filled with malware.
Update: The game is now available in the UK App Store.

Felix the Jerboa is a repairman and carpenter who lives in an apartment in Station Square. He has a bit of a Southern accent, and his two best friends are a lion named Ralph and a young raccoon named Penelope.
He is based on Fix-It Felix Jr. from the movie Wreck-It Ralph.

5.5 Romance
Felix has light sandy fur with white chest and stomach, darker-colored markings around his eyes, dark brown hair, and blue eyes. He has a long, thin tail tipped with a tuft that is the same color as his hair, fairly long whiskers and large ears.
He wears a light blue, button-down shirt, a white undershirt, blue jeans, brown shoes, brown work gloves, a tool belt and a blue and yellow hat. The hat has two "F"s on it.
Felix has lived in Station Square his entire life, in the same apartment where he now lives. His mother died when he was only 2, and thus he lived with his father, Felix Sr. His father was also a repairman, and taught his son the tricks of the trade at a relatively early age.
Around the age of 15, Felix had befriended a lion named Ralph, who was about two years older than the jerboa. Poor Ralph didn't have many friends, since most people saw him as a clumsy good-for-nothing. Felix, however, was one of the very few people willing to befriend the teenage lion, and the two soon became fast friends.
Felix Jr. was about 15 when his father fell ill with an unknown disease. The doctors said that Felix Sr. wouldn't last long at all, and within the space of a month, the old man had perished, but not before giving his son his trusted hammer.
This painful loss caused Felix and Ralph to form an even closer bond, since they only had each other now.

Aside from his ability to fix pretty much anything (save for the most complex of machines), he's a really good jumper (given his species), and has great reflexes, but in terms of physical power, he's rather weak. He is still able to attack somewhat, but prefers not to. However, being a rodent, he has a painful bite.
Jump Kick
Unbeknownst to the handyman, the hammer given to him by his father is actually a nanite dispenser encased in a shell. Since he doesn't know of its special properties, he just thinks he's blessed to be as good at his job as he is.
Even more incredibly, the nanite-hammer seems to only work for him; it will behave like a regular hammer for anyone else. Again, however, Felix has no knowledge of this.
While this may not be considered a resistance, he, like all members of his species, is fairly adept at tolerating desert-level temperatures; his large ears allow heat to escape easily.
Felix is quite fragile, and doesn't take strong blows too well.
If the scruff of his neck is firmly grabbed, it renders him near immobile, much like how a cat would react if it's scruff were grabbed. He's one of the numerous non-reptilian/avian Mobians to have retained this trait from their feral ancestors.
Forms and Fusions
Twisted Dimension Felix
This is the version of Felix that appears in the Twisted Dimension in the RP Hedgehog's Guide to the Multiverse. During an Overlord sweep of Station Square, Felix, who was hiding out with Ralph and Penelope, managed to stall the Overlord mechs long enough to allow his friends to escape. He ended up getting captured in the process, however, and, thanks to the Overlords discovering that he had a nanite hammer, forced him to work for them.
Roughly three years of cruel treatment and labor far more dangerous than he was used to had left him a weary and timid shell of his former self. The only thing that seems to keep him going is the thought that Ralph and Penelope are alive and well.
Ralph the Lion -
Penelope the Raccoon -
Sgt. Tamora the Doberman -
Sgt. Tamora the Doberman - He has a gigantic crush on her, the kind that leaves him giggling and blushing in her presence. She finds this quite adorable, and frequently teases him about it (light-heartedly, of course).
Felix is probably one of the nicest and most hospitable people you could ever meet, and he loves to help others with their problems. He's a bit gullible, however, and therefore quite easy to take advantage of. Anger is not something that comes easily to him; usually the worst he'll experience is irritation. Only in extreme circumstances will he feel actual fury; usually this is because of enemies endangering his closest friends.
One of his hobbies is to go to old ruins and abandoned buildings and take pictures, and even explore a bit. The wall of his room is decorated with photos of his excursions. He also likes to bake, although he's not that good at it. This doesn't stop him from baking pies for Ralph, Penelope, Tamora and himself to share.
He is very protective of his hammer, to the point of extreme possessiveness. He allows nobody to touch it, unless he trusts them immensely.
Strangers trying to take his hammer
His friends getting hurt
Just like his movie "counterpart", he is voiced by Jack McBrayer.

Q: Background not show in LinearLayout in version 4.2 my problem is that in version 4.2 the background in LinearLayout not showing, but in previous version it showing. I put the background like this:
android:background="@drawable/image"

I don't understand why.

A: I was just having the exact same problem. What fixed it for me was making sure I had the proper versions in the proper drawable-xxxx folder. For example...
If your image is in res/drawable but not in any other folder like res/drawable-hdpi, res/drawable-xhdpi, etc make sure you create a version appropriate for each of the screen sizes you are supporting and include that version in the corresponding drawable folder.
After I did that my bg drawable started showing up.

A: maybe it helps someone..I had a problem too with version 4.1.1 and everything I do was to set background programmatically
myLayout.setBackground(yourDrawable);

A: There isn't any problem with the syntax you are using. May be you are having some other problem. My advice would be to-

*

*Try cleaning the project and run it again.

*Check if you have the image named 'image.xxx' in your drawable folder.

*Check if you are setting background of the correct layout.

or perhaps you can post some more code so that we can answer you more specifically.

A: Adding to the Above answer, check that the name of the image in drawable folder is in lower-case. All the drawables must have lower-case names.

Will it take a businessman to turn things around in Louisiana?
June 4th, 2019 Bethany Blankley
If you haven't seen it, Republican Eddie Rispone's first ad buy in the Baton Rouge area is hilarious. It's a nod to the bombardment of trial attorney ads in the state.
(The trial lawyer and legal services industry spent $15.6 million for an ad to air every minute, on average, in New Orleans, Shreveport, and Baton Rouge, according to a new report by the American Tort Reform Association (ATRA).)
Within three months of announcing his candidacy Rispone says he put over 10,000 miles on his truck and made 50 campaign stops. He says a few things stood out from his travels:
"the outpouring of support, just how great my yard signs look against the wonderful Louisiana scenery, better than expected gas station food, and how many yellow personal injury billboards I've seen."
Thus the ad:
He says the most frequent question he's asked is: "why is Louisiana always ranked last?" Louisiana is ranked 47th in healthcare, 48th in public safety, 49th in education, and dead last in opportunity, Rispone says, referring to several national rankings and studies released over the years.
"We're at the bottom of all of the good lists and at the top of too many of the bad ones," he says. "Our lawsuit environment is killing jobs. Our citizens are over taxed. Too many of our children are trapped in failing schools. Louisiana should be the best state in the south for jobs and opportunity. In my over 40 years in business I have traveled across the country and know Louisiana can compete."
Rispone, who has a $10.4 million war chest that hasn't been spent yet, argues Louisiana needs an outsider, a self-made man, and someone who know how to make Louisiana great.
He says, "If you look around the country you see that voters are turning away from the same old tax and spend career politicians, and turning to leadership–conservative outsiders with serious business backgrounds–to solve the problems left by career politicians.
"Doug Ducey in Arizona inherited a $1 billion deficit and balanced the budget in his first year…without raising taxes. Pete Ricketts in Nebraska is breaking state records for new jobs and employment, climbing up the rankings of fastest growing states for tech jobs. And last year, here in our backyard, Tennessee elected CEO Bill Lee, a conservative outsider who ran against two politicians, and pledged to shake up the establishment.
"And I don't need to remind you again who is in the White House."
Will it take a businessman to turn Louisiana's economy around?
Rispone cofounded ISC Constructors with his brother from scratch, which now does roughly $350 million worth of business every year. Headquartered in Baton Rouge, ISC Constructors is one of the largest in its industry in the Gulf with offices in Beaumont, Houston and Lake Charles.
The Eddie L. Rispone Foundation has a balance of $15.4 million at 2017 year end. From 2012-2017 he and his wife distributed nearly $8 million, according to tax records, NOLA reports. He and his late wife, Phyllis, created the foundation, which donates the bulk of its money to Christian organizations. The organization is run solely by Rispone and his current wife, Linda.

110+ Recipes That Are Top 8 Allergen Free: No Gluten, Peanut, Tree Nuts, Soy, Seafood/Shellfish, Dairy & Egg. Recipes for backpacking, the great outdoors, camping, car trips, dorm living and travel, for anywhere you need easy to prep meals that are safe to eat.
This cookbook was inspired by our youngest son Alistaire, who has severe food allergies, and our many readers who have reached out for help.
Shipped from, via First Class Mail to US and Military Address.
When I sat down to write Hiking Free: Allergy Friendly Recipes For The Outdoors I knew it wouldn't be my best seller of all our books, but it was a work of love. I wrote it for our youngest son, Alistaire. And for the rising number of children (and adults) with severe food allergies, Celiac, Asthma, and chronic GI issues.
I was reading a recent review of our book, and it pointed out "The cooking merit badge requires a Scout create menus "keeping in mind any special needs (such as food allergies)", but doesn't provide a source for allergy-friendly recipes." That is exactly why I wrote it! To give a hands up. To allow those with special diets the ability to go backpacking and camping.
I have talked about how Alistaire's food allergies changed us. You go from a normal way of life and that stops the first time you have anaphylaxis. It changed how, and where we hiked. Parents of allergy children don't let go well, and it isn't easy. Like with regular life, I am 100% responsible for Alistaire's well-being while hiking. He goes to public school, but eats nothing but what we send is a good example. It keeps him healthy. Well meaning, but misguided, people can wreak havoc in a child's body "It's just a piece of candy, it won't hurt them" or "Those crackers are fine for you to eat" but they are wheat based. They don't understand that an allergy means no cheating. Being exposed to allergens can have many side effects, with anaphylaxis being the harshest. From painful stomach aches, to breathing issues (allergens can cause asthma to flare up quickly), to painful cracked skin and eczema flare-up on the face and body, to severe GI issues, it isn't something to take lightly.
Now imagine you are sending your child to a Scout event or camp, but you have no idea how to make their food safe while they are gone. You know that while a leader might be well-meaning, they don't understand the nuances of what is safe, and what isn't. Life in the trenches leaves parents often nervous and very skeptical. Trust nothing but in your Epi-Pen? Maybe. I live by that.
You know what they can eat and what they cannot. But if you don't have experience in making portable, shelf-stable food you won't be getting out. But if you had a cookbook that would allow you to easily pull meals together? Or as a textbook for leaders who want to include all children – imagine how it would feel to be able to say to a parent "Don't worry: we have recipes for your child! And all the kids will love the menu".
Ask every person on trips if they have any allergies or medical issues that must be known about. You don't need surprises 2 days in. Don't be shy. And ask people to not down play it.
If there is allergies present, know what their reactions are like. Children can and will hide reactions. For example, Alistaire gets quiet when he doesn't feel well. It pays to keep an eye on them.
Learn how to use an Epi-Pen and what the procedure is for an emergency. Many who have Epi-Pens have expired ones hanging around. Ask to be taught how to use one (tip: an orange makes a good practice surface).
Carry unscented baby wipes to use for cleaning. Everyone should clean their hands, including under their nails, before preparing food. It'll cut down on getting stomach viruses as well, so that is a bonus….. (especially with kids and not washing hands after going #2).
Make a clear menu, with all ingredients fully listed. Do not skimp here – or leave anything out. Have the person or parent go over it to ensure it is safe.
Don't pack ANY allergens to have when they are not there in front of you. That is like carrying lit matches in a dry forest. At best it is being indulgent and self-centered. You can survive without a feed bag of tree nuts or peanuts. Seriously.
With Scout trips and similar, to ensure safety you may need to do a last-minute safety check of backpacks to remove any potential allergens (you would be surprised how many people don't understand Nutella is hazelnuts….).
Ready for a recipe or two to try?
Add the dry pasta to 4 cups water and bring to a boil in your pot. Cook for time on pasta package. Turn off the heat and drain the water off carefully.
Toss with the oil, herbs, chicken and spices. If desired, heat through on very low heat for a minute or two.
Add the mix and 2 cups cold water to your pot. Using a small whisk stir well while bringing to a boil.
As soon as it boils and is thick, turn off the stove and whisk in the coconut oil.
Serve warm or chill in a snow bank or cold stream.
Find vanilla powder where coffee/espresso products are sold, or online through gourmet baking supply sites.
For an easy banana pudding add in 2 Tbsp powdered freeze-dried bananas with the dry ingredients and top with gluten-free vanilla cookies.

It works well, and is cheap enough it's not a huge loss if it gets lost or forgotten. About the only thing that would make it perfect would be weather band.
That and either direct frequency entry or at least a tuning knob.
There is a method of getting the weather band on this.
I got this radio for when I am away from home and don't want to risk damage to my expensive stuff.
So, you are exactly right!

The million dollar question for BJP in Bengal: should it declare a CM candidate or not?
Amitabh Tiwari
·Columnist
The election season is already heating up in Bengal.
Trinamool Congress rebel Suvendu Adhikari, who has now joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, held a rally in Nandigram, where in 2007 violence erupted in the aftermath of a failed project by the then communist government of West Bengal to acquire land for a special economic zone. This led to the death of 14 people and provided the impetus to Mamata Banerjee's TMC which then went on to win the elections.
AIMIM's Owaisi, too, has visited Bengal and is in talks to finalise a poll alliance with cleric Abbas Siddiqui.
Laxmi Ratan Shukla, the Minister for Sports in the Mamata government, too has resigned. Sourav Ganguly has suffered from a mild heart attack, but now has been discharged from the hospital. Both, the chief minister and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are slated to start their rallies in the state soon.
While the BJP has clearly emerged as the principal challenger to the Trinamool Congress, the party is facing a serious dilemma: whether to declare a chief ministerial candidate or not?
State elections are increasingly becoming presidential style. Many people are now voting to elect a chief minister rather than just their MLA. While candidates slog it out at the seat level, the chief minister faces are locked in a contest at the state level.
This style of electioneering has been popularised by the BJP with its famous slogan 'Vote for Modi'. PM Modi often repeats in his rallies 'your vote will reach me directly' bypassing the local candidate.
As a thumb rule, one-third voters cast their ballot on the basis of party/symbol, one-third on leadership and one-third on candidate.
Proponents of announcing a chief minister candidate give this logic that if BJP does not declare a face it could lose out on one-third of the voter base.
BJP contesting as the main opposition party won 9 states during the period 2014-19. In all but 2 states (Assam and HP), BJP didn't declare a CM candidate. In Himachal Pradesh, the chief minister face lost, while the party won the polls.
In all these states, the BJP put forth Modi as the poster boy of its campaign, literally making it a Modi versus the incumbent CM contest. Modi was positioned as a harbinger of change and development who exploited anti-incumbency against the existing chief minister to the hilt.
It was propagated that Modi would appoint his key man to the top post after victory and he would work under his guardianship. Opponents of announcing a chief minister candidate put forth this logic.
CM Candidate
Win / Loss
Himachal_Pradesh
Source: www.politicalbaaba.com
However, it's also true that this strategy did not work in a few states like Bihar. In Delhi (2014), the BJP declared a chief ministerial face and lost, in 2020 it didn't announce anybody as a CM candidate and still lost.
Now let's see in which states Congress or regional parties declared a chief ministerial face and won the elections. Congress won Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh from BJP without declaring a CM face. In Punjab and Jharkhand it / allies had declared chief ministerial candidates.
Of course, every state is unique and the strategy which works in one state may not work in other states.
The BJP would declare a CM face in Bengal when it has one. Even staunch proponents of the theory would agree that the party currently doesn't have anybody who can match the charisma, popularity and statewide appeal of Didi.
Neither Dilip Ghosh, nor Mukul Roy nor Suvendu can fit the bill. They lack sufficient maturity and experience to carry the party along with them. Further, they don't have any experience in governance.
The only one who can give Mamata a run for money is ex-cricketer and BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly. However, he has not yet accepted the BJP's yet offer to join politics and lead the campaign.
He suffered a mild heart attack recently scuttling the chances of his joining the BJP and challenging Mamata given his fragile health.
So even if the BJP wishes to declare a CM candidate, it doesn't have one and that's the harsh truth.
Not declaring a CM candidate in such a situation will be helpful for the party. The leadership gap can be filled in by Modi and Shah duo.
The party will be seeking votes on the plank of development and Hindutva opposing the minority appeasement politics of TMC.
This will help forge unity and encourage all factions within the party to give their best. In the end, whichever leader delivers the highest number of seats from his/her region would be given the top job.
At a time when many TMC leaders are joining the BJP and will even get tickets, a section within the party will not be happy at this development. Some would even be demotivated. Only the name of Modi and ideology will cheer up this worker and exhort him to work for the party.
At a time when the party is banking on consolidation of Hindu votes to defeat the TMC, announcing any candidate from a particular caste / community risks angering voters from other caste groups.
In the current situation Matuas, Kayastha, Brahmins, OBCs could all vote for the party in the hope they could get CM from their community.
Mamata's popularity is also not what it used to be during 2011 and 2016 elections due to natural anti-incumbency, voter fatigue and not so great development record, especially in her second term.
All this points to the fact that a combined leadership works best for the BJP in Bengal given it lacks a leader to match the charisma of Mamata.
The party could replicate its successful strategy of not announcing a CM candidate in state after state elections in Bengal too.

Scratch-off tickets can be a very lucrative retirement investment.
Judy Slone is a very lucky woman. Most people play the lottery their entire lives and never win a dime. However, this 62-year-old electrical wire installer isn't like most people. Judy Slone just recorded her fourth lottery jackpot win since 2004. Talk about a hot streak! Thus far, Judy has won $1, 527,777 in jackpots.
Granted, Slone isn't winning mega-millions with her jackpot wins, but she is winning significant amounts of cash. Her first jackpot in 2004 was $27,777, used to buy new furniture. After that, she took home a cool $1 million in 2005, which was used for eye surgery and a new car. Her third jackpot was $100,000 that went towards a vacation in Puerto Rico. Now this jackpot, won via the Georgia Lottery scratch-off 20X The Money, has netted Slone $400,000, which is going to be saved for retirement. She may not be giving it to charity, but she's using it wisely.
So what's these secret to Judy's success? Quoth the lottery champion, "I play a lot." I guess you have to spend money to make money.

1 Dead, 7 Injured After Passenger Trian Derails in the Netherlands
A passenger train derailed in the Netherlands on Tuesday after it collided with a hydraulic crane, leaving the train driver dead and seven people injured, local officials said.
The accident happened around 8:45 am (0745 GMT) close to the northeastern town of Dalfsen, about 40 kilometres (24 miles) from the German border.
Television images showed pictures of several carriages lying on their side next to fields as emergency staff worked nearby.
"One person was killed… and I can confirm it was the driver," mayor Han Noten told a press conference.
A criminal investigation has been opened into why the crane was on the track, and the crane driver has been arrested and is being questioned by police, he said.
Two people were taken to hospital, while five others were treated on the spot. Seven or eight other passengers escaped unscathed.
"The crash was violent," the mayor added, saying the commuter train was "travelling at speed" when it hit the crane which was moving across the tracks over a "secure crossing".
He said there were not many people on the train, adding that the service is often full in the evening, but relatively empty in the morning.
A witness told Dutch broadcaster NOS the crane was on caterpillar tracks and was moving very slowly as it crossed the railway line when the train arrived.
The driver of the crane had managed to jump out before the collision.
"The front of the train is completely destroyed," one witness told NOS, adding the crane was in pieces.
Train services along the line had been cut and the disruption could last several days.
Dutch train operator NS said there had been "major damage and it's impossible to say when repairs can begin".
Infrastructure Minister Sharon Dijksma said she was "shocked" by the accident, the Dutch news agency ANP said.
The Netherlands' worst train disaster happened on January 8, 1962, when two passenger trains crashed at Harmelen, near the central city of Utrecht, killing 93 people and injuring 52 others.
That accident happened in thick fog when a train driver missed a warning signal and the two trains hit head-on.
One person died and 117 others were injured in a collision near Amsterdam in April 2012 with reports later saying a driver failed to respect a stop sign.

Norway strives to ban fuel cars in 2025. Electric cars account for one-third of sales
Source:the Internet
Release on :2019-01-05
In 2018, almost one-third of the new cars sold in Norway were pure electric vehicles.
This sales data strengthens Norway's global leadership in per capita electric vehicle sales. As the largest oil and gas producer in Western Europe, Norway is striving to transform into a green economy. Norway plans to ban fuel vehicles by 2025.
In order to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution, Norway has exempted battery electric vehicles and provided free parking and charging stations. According to the Norwegian Independent Road Alliance (NRF), electric vehicles accounted for 31.2% of total sales in 2018, up from 20.8% in 2017 and 5.5% in 2013, while sales of gasoline and diesel vehicles fell sharply.
Nef leader Oeyvind Solberg Thorsen said, "This is a small step towards the goal of 2025", when Norway hopes that all new cars will achieve zero emissions. However, he warned that there is still a long way to go, because two-thirds of the nearly 148,000 cars sold in Norway in 2018 are still fuel cars and hybrid cars.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has adopted slightly different standards for electric vehicles, including rechargeable hybrid vehicles. The agency shows that the market share of Norwegian electric vehicles in 2017 was 39%, much higher than Iceland (12%) and Sweden (6%).
In contrast, the International Energy Agency's data show that in 2017, the market share of such electric vehicles in China and the United States was 2.2% and 1.2% respectively.
In 2018, Nissan's upgraded Leaf electric car is the highest-selling model in Norway, and other high-selling cars include BMW and Volkswagen as well as Tesla. Last year, in Norway, sales of pure electric vehicles surged 40% to 46,092 units, while sales of diesel models fell 28%, sales of gasoline vehicles fell 17%, and sales of hybrid vehicles fell 20%.
Data show that in 2018, the overall sales of new cars in Norway fell by 6.8% to 147,929 units, breaking the upward trend in recent years.
