Thanks in advance.

A: You are calling Math.ceil() on myCourse.subject which appears to be a string (and not a number, hence NaN%) in your data.
Otherwise, this looks good and it should work

A: Billal Begueradj thanks for your replay. I understand. I changed my code and everything worked out.

Finding bread without milk in it is tricky. Not to mention yoga mat. I've been trying different bread recipes and found the most amazing, delicious bread that doesn't get stale quickly as homemade bread often does. I found the original recipe at fivehearthome.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together all ingredients except the last 2 cups of flour. Mix well scraping down the sides if necessary.
Add remaining flour about 1/2 cup at a time.
Knead dough in mixer using dough hook for 10 to 15 minutes or until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl and feels smooth rather than sticky. If the dough is sticky add a bit more flour.
Remove dough from mixer and place in bowl. Cover with a towel and let sit for 45 minutes to an hour.
Grease a nonstick bread pan with canola oil. Don't leave puddles of oil in the pan just make it slick all over.
The dough will have almost doubled in size after sitting. Gently insert two fingers into the dough, up to the second knuckle and remove. If the indentations remain in the dough it's ready for the next step.
Gently push your fist into the center of the dough and then pull the edges down into the center. Remove dough from bowl.
Gently form the dough into the shape of a loaf and place in pan.
Push down gently to fit pan.
Cover with a towel and let sit for an additional hour or until dough is domed above the top of the pan.
Place in oven for 30 minutes. Once baked, immediately remove hot bread from pan and cool on rack.
As tempting as it will be to cut into the bread while it's hot don't do it! Let it cool completely before slicing or you can ruin the whole loaf. It can become gummy in spots if you do this.
*Her double recipe called for 1/3 a cup. My measuring cup doesn't even have 1/6 measurement on it so I just filled it slightly below the 1/4 cup mark.

Pirates agree to deals with Taillon, Gonzalez and Feliz

(ASSOCIATED PRESS)
PITTSBURGH —
The Pittsburgh Pirates avoided arbitration with pitchers Jameson Taillon and Michael Feliz as well as shortstop Erik Gonzalez on Wednesday, signing each for the 2021 season.
Taillion gets $2.25 million, Feliz $1 million and Gonzalez $1,225,000.
The Pirates also declined to offer a contract to reliever Clay Holmes and assigned catcher Will Craig outright to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Taillon, a former first-round draft pick, is expected to return in 2021 after missing most of the last two years following Tommy John surgery. The Pirates are relying on Taillon to anchor a starting rotation that will have a new look next year after the team cut ties with Trevor Williams.
Feliz pitched in just three games during the abbreviated 2020 season due to a forearm injury. He could be in the mix to find a role at the back end of the bullpen.
Gonzalez faded after a hot start but drove in a career-high 20 runs last season while hitting .227 in 50 games for Pittsburgh, which finished with the worst record in the majors at 19-41.
Holmes appeared in just one game for the Pirates last season before being shut down with a forearm issue. He went 2-5 with a 5.91 ERA in 47 games for Pittsburgh from 2018-20.

Argentina gears up to welcome Chinese visitors
BUENOS AIRES, July 14 (Xinhua) -- If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, then maybe the same applies to China's growing number of globetrotters.
Argentina is banking on the old adage to attract more Chinese tourism, and the strategy is part of "Hilton Huanying" program that derives from the Chinese word for "welcome."
The program is an initiative already in place at more than 150 Hilton hotels around the world, but relatively new to the property in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, the first Latin American city to offer it.
"We are very proud to be part of the Hilton Huanying program here in Buenos Aires," director of sales and marketing at Hilton Buenos Aires, Mariano Cannello, told Xinhua."We see it as a great opportunity to welcome Chinese travelers with the standards of personalized service we know they expect and enjoy," Cannello added.
According to the hotel, after the program was launched, bookings by Chinese tourists rose 160 percent per night compared to last year, with an average stay by Chinese tourists of 2.15 nights.
Gonzalo Tordini, head of educational affairs at the Latin American Center on Chinese Political and Economic Studies, said Argentina is keen to tap into China's booming outbound tourism to help its flagging domestic economy.
Buenos Aires is an attractive destination for the Chinese traveler given its culture, cuisine and passion for football. But the country offers a wide variety of sights, such as Patagonia to the south, a region characterized by the beauty of its glaciers, lakes and mountains.
"Argentina has great potential for receiving Chinese tourists. Patagonia, in particular, offers conditions that may be of great interest to Chinese visitors," said Tordini, whose center signed a cooperation agreement with Ente Patagonia Argentina last year to promote Chinese tourism."With impressive landscapes, excellent infrastructure, diverse adventure activities and a hospitable population, Patagonia expects to attract travelers from literally the other side of the world," said Tordini.
Argentina is also taking other steps to boost tourism from China, including easing the visa application process and working to improve air connectivity.According to data from the Argentine Ministry of Tourism, between 2011 and 2017 the arrivals of Chinese tourists to Argentina increased steadily, reaching around 60,000 tourists.
In 2017, 10-year visas were issued to Chinese citizens traveling to Argentina for tourism or business purposes.In August 2018, Chile and Argentina announced an agreement for the reciprocal recognition of visas for Chinese tourists starting January 2019.
"The work that is being done to facilitate visas and improve air connectivity between the two countries will surely further support this effort," said Tordini.

The 2008 Television Time Capsule: Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles – "What He Beheld"
"What He Beheld"
Season One, Episode Nine
Airdate: March 3rd, 2008
In the show's second season, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles emerged as something quite surprising: a competent science fiction drama with a sense of character and a growing identity. So picking an episode to include in the Time Capsule to reflect this feels like it should come from the second half of the year.
But I kept going back to "What He Beheld," the first season finale that convinced me the show was going to be capable of being something more than just an attempt to capture the franchise's storylines in a serial dramatic setting.
The series has since gone on to delve into deep psychological issues, both of the humans within the story and the Terminators who coexist with them. But the sequence, set to Johnny Cash, of the various police officers being thrown aside by Cromartie was the one that showed me the show was aiming higher: what could have felt like an attempt at shocking the audience with violence was played entirely artistically. There was no sense that the show was exploiting their deaths, but capturing them in the most artful of ways: we see the pool's stillness just as a body tears it apart. The apartment building setting isn't designed for eye candy but the sharp contrast of the mundane living arrangement meeting with the trauma of the action involved.
The show's second season has built on this development: it was one scene to begin with, but each subsequent episode has built on it. Yes, the show still has its down periods, and every now and then I think that its vague storyline could use some clarity, but Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles is everything Heroes wants to be: a smart, sophisticated piece of science fiction that might not be Battlestar Galactica but certainly feels like the kind of show that, given time, could prove a worthwhile journey.

Q: Update source and sink dynamically in cycle js? I'm writing a very simple app using redux-cycle, with 3 elements:

*

*A text field to input url

*A "connect" button to connect to a websocket end point

*An output panel to show incoming messages

I have written a very simple websocket driver based on this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/42926532/842860
The wire up code is like this:
const cycleMiddleware = createCycleMiddleware();
const {makeActionDriver} = cycleMiddleware;

function main(sources) {
    return {
        ACTION: sources.WEBSOCKET // The websocket driver emits commands which are consumed by reducers
    }
}

const store = createStore(
    reducer, // Update redux state
    applyMiddleware(cycleMiddleware)
);

run(main, {
    WEBSOCKET: WSDriver("ws://localhost:3000/something"), // The initial connection string
    ACTION: makeActionDriver()
});

The question is how to make the websocket reconnect to another end point when the connect button is clicked?  Do I need to modify my websocket driver to capture the event and reconnect, or does cyclejs provide a way to dynamically update the source/sink?

A: I think the appropriate method would be to, indeed, update the WSDriver to take a sink$ as input. This sink$ could contain the url you want to connect to.
Your driver would look like this
function WSDriver(endpoint$) {
  var activeConnection;
  return endpoint$
    .map(endpointUrl => xs.create({
      start: listener => {
       activeConnection = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:4000');
       /* no change here */
      },
      stop: () => {
        activeConnection.close();
      }
    }))
    .flatten() // it's a stream of stream, so we need to flatten it
}

On the app side you would need to change this
run(main, {
    WEBSOCKET: WSDriver(), // < no initial connection
    ACTION: makeActionDriver()
});

And in your main
function main(sources) {
    return {
        ACTION: sources.WEBSOCKET,
        WEBSOCKET: newConnection$.startWith("ws://localhost:3000/something")
    }
}

Given that the newConnection$ comes from the click events on the button.
Hope it helps

Jacket structures have been widely used in oil and gas industry and are increasingly becoming competitive as a support structure of wind turbines at different water depths. These types of structures usually fix in transition or shallow waters where numerous field observations and experiments have shown that water particles tend to exhibit non-Gaussian characteristics. However, current engineering practice ignores the wave nonlinearity for the analysis and design of these structures. The application of linear irregular models might result in considerable uncertainties in the obtained wave loads and consequently the dynamic response and thus it is highly questionable. Therefore, it is crucial to calculate the dynamic response of jacket structures under both linear and nonlinear wave models to investigate the validity of linear wave models in different sea states. In this paper, the finite element (FE) model of a jacket structure located in Persian Gulf (SP17 jacket) is setup and applied to perform a comparative study of the dynamic response to both linear and weakly nonlinear random waves. The fatigue life of the jacket structure is then calculated under both wave models. This paper will substantially improve the understanding of the dynamic response of jacket structures under fatigue damage.

"Hot Bikini Beans" is sure to make you laugh no matter the mood (and I was in a pretty bad mood when I sat down to watch the first episode).
We spend a lot of time online, understandably, and every once in a while we like to take a break from the cats and constant research to enjoy the best of what the web community has to offer. Here are a few of our favorite recent entries!
*Disclaimer: This is not a fact-based study about the ten biggest web series but rather our current pick of a few new series' that we think are interesting/funny/worthwhile and we hope you'll check them out and enjoy them just as much!
This comedy web series that LA Weekly is calling "The Girls of yoga" was created by Summer Chastant and it follows a yoga teacher from New York that moves to Los Angeles to get her life on track but is met with a cold reception from the image-obsessed LA yoga community. Whitty, sharp, and perfect for anyone that has struggled with the downward dog.
Spin-off of a spin-off, "Flight 462" is a 16-episode web-miniseries that ties directly into the hit AMC prequel show "Fear The Walking Dead." It depicts a zombie attack on a commercial airliner flying 300ft up in the air. Interestingly, the sole survivor will (in this case "went on to") join the cast of "Fear the Walking Dead" for season two.
It's not immediately new or entirely recent, but last year's "Master Of None" starring Aziz Ansari was a total knock out of the park. Unexpected, heart-warming, sharp and deeply heavy on the soul at times, Ansari really rose to the occasion with his post-Parks And Rec foray into the realm of the web series.
Speaking of "Parks And Rec"… You can assume that pretty much anything Amy Poehler is in we will end up loving, even if begrudgingly. This series, which is really more of a community, is a perfect, inspiring, wholesome place for young girls and women to get awesome advice, support and communication in a world that's so overtly obsessed with objectivity.
A sharp, small-team comedy that examines the complex relationship between sexuality and commodity. "Hot Bikini Beans" is sure to make you laugh no matter the mood (and I was in a pretty bad mood when I sat down to watch the first episode). My boss was wondering why I was laughing but then she quickly slipped away when she saw the bikini-clad lead actresses on my little phone screen.
Have you seen any web series' lately that stuck with you amidst the increasingly crowded playing field? Was there a show you really loved and got to watch it blossom into a thriving pop-culture phenomenon? Let us know in the comments below and on Facebook!


One of the creative forces behind Not A Number Productions, Simeon Halligan has sewed creative seeds that have touched the film industry throughout Britain. Boasting an extensive filmography of commercials, television shows and feature films, Simeon is also the founder of Manchester's annual festival of horror and cult films, Grimmfest.
His latest film, Habit, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen McGeagh, explores the dark underbelly of both the city and the human condition.
Simeon's love of film dates back to an extremely young age.
Simeon got into film professionally studying set and production design in Manchester, followed by an MA at the Royal College of Art and Design. He gravitated back to Manchester after his studies finished where he worked on all kinds of commercials, TV shows and films as a designer.
Simeon released his first feature film, Splintered, in 2010, with his producer and partner to this day, Rachel. The low-budget horror film tells the story of Sophie, whose curiosity about an abandoned building out in the wilderness leads her into the dangerous obsession of a jailer and a monster.
This was followed in 2014 by White Settlers, a story of a couple who are met with horror on the Scottish borders when all they were looking for was peace. The film is currently available on Netflix. Although Simeon claims that it was purely a matter of "good timing", this film is considered to be a brilliant parallel of the political climate in Britain during its release, which coincided with the Scottish independence referendum.
Over the course of two feature films, Simeon learned what it takes to make a film well.
"Put as much work and effort into your script as you possibly can," he said confidently of the most important lesson he'd learned from his first films.
Unlike his previous works, Habit was adapted from a novel, so the plot was already there. However, it did prove challenging in its own right.
It was the written in the first person, with large chunks of the narrative happening inside the character's head. Although the more action packed scenes were easy enough to translate to the screen, Simeon said, the more introspective sections took more creativity to get right.
"I did seek support and help from various other people that I trust to deal with the structure of the script," he said.
The fact that both Simeon and McGeagh are native to Manchester gave the setting of Habit an authentic and palpable sense of character, almost coming to life its own right. All the settings in the book are real places, including the flat in which the protagonist lives, which was based on student accommodation from McGeagh's youth.
Habit has recently been on tour around the country being screened at festivals and events where film and horror fans gather. Simeon describes himself as being "really, really pleased and lucky" to have visited the wealth of places he's taken the film already. But for all his success so far, he was nonetheless cautious about introducing his new release.
"Habit is a dark drama with horror elements," he explained, "so I'm never sure if a horror audience is going to like it." But that hasn't stopped it performing well so far. "Horror audiences are open-minded!" Simeon said.
The film combines gritty social realism and dark fantasy in a way that explores the underbelly of Manchester and its lost and lonely reputation. The first reactions from the early screenings of the show are already in and are broadly positive.
"People have said that they like that, in Habit, there is no moral judgement about the character," Simeon notes. When it comes to creating horror that really impacts an audience, he has become something of an expert on the topic.
Although Habit has only just been released, Simeon is already looking to the future.
"We're moving onto getting another film shot early next year called The Besieged," he told me, and explains that the new project is a "bank heist movie that turns into a monster movie", which he describes as "Dog Day Afternoon meets The Thing".

"Besides protection by masks, social distancing etc, rapid diagnostic testing, and COVID-19 vaccines, we are now establishing a fourth pillar of emergency measures to mitigate the impact of the corona pandemic: therapeutics!," stressed Tobias Reiss, co-initiator of the COVID-19 Therapeutics Strategy and Parliamentary Secretary of the Bavarian CSU. According to Albert Rupprecht, research policy spokesman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research has approved an additional €50m for the initiative and intends to increase it further if necessary. German biotech industry association BIO Deutschland previously suggested €1bn in funding was necessary even to fund the most advanced therapeutics.
Within Europe, the new COVID-19 Therapeutics Strategy is the only initiative that invests significant amounts in the development of therapies. Big Pharma-driven initiatives for the repurposing of already approved drugs for COVID-19 have been largely unsuccessful and projects with a funding volume of €400m under the EU's EIC and IMI programmes for therapeutics are now largely promoting medical technology innovations such as new respirators etc. For instance, a €72m Therapeutics Accelerator Programme, launched by the Innovative Medicines Initiative, is supporting only four innovative therapeutic approaches with just €6.4m.
Apart from vaccines that protect healthy people from infections, therapeutics are urgently needed to save the lives of people infected with SARS-CoV-2. "Despite dexamethasone, we do not have any effective therapeutic options at the intensive care unit (ICU) that would save the lives of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients," said Prof. Dr. Clemens Wendtner, head of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Munich Schwabing Hospital.
Domdey said he hoped that as many of the 15 other German states as possible would jump on the bandwagon to increase the volume of funding for the initiative. If we had therapeutics that could reduce the number of serious diseases by a factor of ten to a hundred, this would be as good as effective vaccination - with the difference that those already infected could also benefit, Domdey told European Biotechnology. "This would allow us to return to the longed-for normal state soon".
Germany appears to be a pioneer in the EU with its initiative, as the focus has so far been on protecting healthy people through vaccination. But biotech entrepreneurs from other EU countries are also putting pressure on the German EU presidency: "In April , the EU's Covid-19 scientific committee published guidelines. The EIB called for submissions to its €5bn programme, and hired 50 experts for fast review to support 100 COVID-19 projects. But none of this 'dream' happened. Countries worked on their own. There was a small EIB programme with slow review. Meanwhile the US had clear guidelines, billions in grants, and one reviewing agency – the FDA. Another missed opportunity for Europe's leadership. " stressed Philippe Pouletty, M.D. Chairman of French Abivax SA and Founder Truffle Capital.
Perhaps the therapy initiative is a silver lining not only for German COVID-19 patients.

When I talk with teachers, librarians, and administrators about their mobile learning needs, one of the first questions I ask is whether they are a 1:1 or a BYOD school. That is, do they supply a device (e.g., laptop, tablet, e-reader) to each student or do they allow students to "Bring Your Own Device"?
Every school has to look at both sides of this device debate and decide on a path that best fits their population, budget, and IT environment. Both approaches provide the needed access to mobile learning, and both require careful planning and implementation. Regardless of the approach taken, you will need to establish a comprehensive mobile learning strategy. Hardware is only part of the equation!
The folks at www.securedgenetworks.com have shared with us this useful infographic showing how BYOD and 1:1 approaches stack up in terms of the key decision-making factors of Cost, Equality, Apps, and Maintenance. Perhaps it's no surprise that out of these four key considerations, the results are split between equally between BYOD and 1:1.
BYOD is cheaper than the 1:1 model as the school does not pay for devices. This is appealing for schools where budgets are tight for both program implementation and sustainability. However, both programs require significant investment in infrastructure, i.e. bandwidth.
When considering a device approach, please consider your population. Do your kids own devices to participate in BYOD? Would implementing such a program cause a have and have-not divide? There are cooperative learning approaches to circumvent this issue a bit (just as teachers are adept at creating small groups when half the class forgets their textbook at home!), but overall 1:1 creates an even playing field. All kids have the same device, and all devices have the same capabilities.
When it comes to app management, 1:1 again leads the way. Since every student has the same device, schools are better able to install and manage applications. In a BYOD environment, operating systems can differ as can device age and functionality. Teachers are challenged with creating digital lessons that are device agnostic and are often called upon to troubleshoot unfamiliar devices.
Maintaining 1:1 devices requires significant resources. However, in a BYOD approach, maintenance is not an issue as the device is the user's responsibility. Even though maintaining MDM (mobile device management) for a 1:1 program is another additional expense, the ability to control security issues is appealing to schools who want to set restrictions on how devices can be used.
The best advice I can give when caught in the BYOD versus 1:1 debate is to really consider your school's unique needs in terms of population, budget, and IT environment. When deciding how to implement a mobile learning initiative, you've already made a terrific commitment to your students. There is a reason today's generation of students is referred to as GenMobile. They are constantly on the go and expect wireless connectivity. Students use digital devices on a daily basis, so let's capture their attention in enriching and educational ways.
Lerner Digital provides all of our digital products as device agnostically as possible. Your students can access the eBooks, Audisee eBooks with Audio, and Interactive Books that you purchase from us online utilizing any device that has a web browser and Internet access.
