Q: CSS - Links moving on hover I'm having a slight issue with some CSS I'm working on.
Links in the footer moves a little when on hover, but only after I refresh the page, on first load all looks good but after I refresh the page the links are sitting tight to each other and when hovered they go back to their proper position, tried few tricks found on Stack, but they didn't help.
Here is the code:
.f-links {
    clear:both;
float:right;
    position:relative;
    left:-50%;
    text-align:left;
}

.f-links ul {
    list-style:none;
    position:relative;
    left:45%;
}

.f-links li {
    float:left;
    position:relative;
}

.f-links a {
font-size:12px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
    text-align: center;
text-decoration: underline;
    color: black;
    float:left;
    padding:2px 10%;
    white-space:nowrap;
}

.f-links a:hover,
.f-links a:visited {
    color: black;
}

.f-links a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

and the HTML:

Thanks in advance for any help.

A: if you only want to center the links you better use following css (inline-block is well supported so no worries)
.f-links {
    text-align: center;
}

.f-links ul {
    list-style:none;
}

.f-links li {
    display: inline-block;
}

A: You should remove the float left  and the percentage from padding in the .f-link a styles:
.f-links a {
font-size:12px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: underline;
color: black;
padding:2px 10px;
white-space:nowrap;
}

MATCHING BRICKS:
Vandersanden, 361 Hubertus Snowdust
Description | Plans
Bureau de Change have reimagined the conventional terraced-house extension for a home in North London with an innovative addition that both celebrates and elevates the humble brick.
Katerina Dionysopoulou, Co-Founder of Bureau de Change explains: 'Instead of the more expected glass structure, we looked to the brick and its inherent potential as a stackable module to create a far more sculptural material expression. Using bricks reclaimed from the fabric of the house, we exploited the rights of light diagram to create a staggered, extruded form that appears to melt away from the existing structure.'
This rhythmic stepping generated by the brick is echoed throughout the interior, and is integrated in both the plan and section of the extension. Viewed from the terrace above, the form creates an attractive silhouette – a feature rare in more straightforward additions. Inside, Bureau de Change's characteristic dramatisation of space comes into play with a careful sequencing of spaces – transforming the expansive ground floor into a journey through carefully designed ambiences.
The standard layout has been flipped, with the kitchen taking its new place at the front of the house – an often underused, forgotten space. Here, the original features of the house are retained, emphasised by dark colours and material tones. Moving onward, the spaces unfold in a sequence from dark to light – intensifying the bright, voluminous feel of the addition. In the centre, the dining room is marked by a change in floor treatment: narrow timber planks with aligned seams transition between the smooth concrete of the kitchen and the roughlygrained concrete of the extension. A light-well ensures the full depth of the plan is bright, and provides a moment of pause within the interior. Here, where faceted glass meets stepped brick, the geometry of the concept is accentuated.
'We worked closely with the structural engineers to create an entirely column-free space', explains co-founder Billy Mavropoulos, 'The structure was achieved using laser-cut, doubledirection, stepped beams that give the sensation that the brick addition is floating. This concept was integrated into the design in conjunction with the engineers from the start – working hand-in-hand to create the appearance of a first floor that is sunken into the extension.'
For Bureau de Change, the notion of using a common-place material, such a brick, in an unexpected way is a motif that can be seen across much of their work. In the case of the Step House, the brick, left exposed inside and out, is celebrated in a way that respects the existing house while clearly departing from the traditional language of the historic architecture.

In this talk, we will introduce two famous inequalities: the Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz inequality and the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality. These are very classical, elementary but very useful inequalities which have applications in many branches of mathematics including analysis, probability theory and partial differential equations. We will provide brief proofs of these inequalities and give some simple applications of them.

Aaron Hernandez Podcast Optioned By FX
"At the time FX and Wondery made their deal official, Gladiator had been downloaded 4.5 million times."
Gladiator, a podcast about the life and crimes of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, has been optioned by FX. The network has the rights to develop the podcast, produced by The Boston Globe and Wondery, for television.
The show drew a lot of interest. At the time FX and Wondery made their deal official, Gladiator had been downloaded 4.5 million times. That made it the second most downloaded new podcast of the year according to Podtrac. It was only behind another Wondery production called Dr. Death.
Wondery is no stranger to TV deals for podcasts. The company co-produced the true crime podcast Dirty John, which has since been turned into a mini-series for Bravo starring Connie Britton and Eric Bana. Dr. Death is in development with Universal Cable Productions.

Online Crowdfunding for Small Investors
by Jason Gilbert
On October 30, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved its final crowdfunding rules under the 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, opening the doors for start-ups to raise equity online from smaller "nonaccredited" investors. Here are the details of the long-awaited rules, which contain several changes to the proposal that was issued more than two years ago.
Crowdfunding debate
Historically, the SEC has allowed private companies to solicit capital only from "accredited" investors, which are people with net worth of at least $1 million (excluding the value of their primary residences) or annual income of more than $200,000 per individual (or $300,000 for married couples). Moreover, online solicitations to these wealthy individuals were required to come from SEC-registered intermediaries.
On October 30, in a 3-1 vote, the SEC approved final crowdfunding rules that establish a registration exemption for companies raising up to $1 million a year through online funding portals. They also create a registration process for intermediaries and add a new incentive for them by allowing intermediaries to take ownership stakes in the issuers as compensation. Investors don't need to be accredited to participate in these offerings.
More than two years in the making, the crowdfunding decision was among the most divisive of the regulatory mandates from the JOBS Act. The SEC debated how to shield unsophisticated investors from fraud while keeping the rules viable for start-up companies with limited resources.
Proposed vs. final rules
Under both the proposed and final rules, companies must comply with disclosure and accounting requirements that scale upward with the size of the offering. But the final rules contain several major changes.
For example, under the 2013 version of the crowdfunding proposal, a company raising less than $100,000 would have been required to provide investors with prior-year tax returns and a financial statement certified by the CEO. A company raising between $100,000 and $500,000 would have been required to use an independent public accountant to review the financial statements. A company raising more than $500,000 would have been required to provide investors with audited financial statements — a requirement that critics said was unworkable for many start-ups.
Under the final rules, a start-up using the crowdfunding exemption for the first time and seeking to raise more than $500,000 will need to have an accountant prepare only reviewed financial statements. Subsequent offerings above $500,000 will require audited financials.
The final crowdfunding rules also limit how much investors can purchase in an offering. Investors earning less than $100,000 can invest the higher amount of: 1) $2,000 per year, or 2) 5% of the lesser of their net worth or income. Investors with both income and net worth above $100,000 can invest 10% of their income or net worth, whichever is less. Additionally, no one will be allowed to put more than $100,000 into crowdfunding deals in any one year.
The SEC will also require a one-year holding period before reselling securities purchased through a crowdfunding deal. And crowdfunding intermediaries, who can be either broker-dealers or newly registered funding portals, will be required to join the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
The rules are scheduled to become effective six months after they are published in the Federal Register, which usually happens a few weeks after the SEC posts a rule to its website. Funding portals, which will be used to sell securities to investors, have until January 29, 2016, to register with the SEC.
Over the next three years, the SEC will study the effect of the rules on the market. SEC Commissioner Kara Stein, who voted in favor of the final rules, says this study will allow the SEC to respond to changes "if we have gone too far in one direction or the other."
A closer look at intrastate crowdfunding
Also in a 3-1 vote on October 30, the SEC agreed to issue a proposal relaxing the rules regarding so-called "intrastate" crowdfunding. These offerings allow a company to raise typically small-dollar equity investments from large numbers of backers within a single state, without requiring the investors to be accredited.
An increasing number of states are adopting intrastate investment laws. The SEC's proposal would lift in-state restrictions on marketing those deals, relax some eligibility requirements and raise the investment limit to $5 million per year from investors across multiple states, without an accreditation requirement.

Prague – Day 2 – EuroHockey Championships II
19.07.2015, Brussels; Day 2 opened with the Men's games and the favorites Poland and Scotland in a face off! Poland won in the dying seconds of the game and put themselves in a good position to make the semi-finals. The second game of the day, Ukraine beat newcomers in the division Croatia 10-5. In the Women's event, 4 games later saw Ireland and Czech well ahead and assured of semi-finals in Pool A, with Pool B still open.
Poland – Scotland 2-1 (0-0)
In the group opening game the two favorites played against each other. Also thanks to the mild temperature the match pace was very high from the beginning and the game flowed from end to end. In the first minutes the Scotland players were more on the ball and after couple of chances they got the lead. Until the half-time the game was more in the Polish half and the Scottish team was struggling to add a second goal. After the half time Poland were more in the game and as they tied the game in 58. minute, it was Poland, who was dominating. Though the Scottish fought hard Poland put them under pressure and 20 seconds before the end Poland grabbed the win from the penalty corner by drag flick into the upper-left corner.
Ukraine – Croatia 10-5 (5-2)
In today´s second match we saw whopping 15 goals. It was Ukraine who quickly led 2:0 against Croatia. Within few minutes they managed to score from a short corner and added one more after a quick pass forward. Croatians managed to score before the end of first quarter making it 4:1 for Ukrainians. Within the first half both team managed to add one each making it 5:2 at half time. At the beginning of second half Croatians surprised Ukrainian defense with a beautiful deflection in their circle (5:3) but it was again Ukraine who managed to step up the effort and scored from a short corner. Mid section of second half belonged to Ukrainians who took a short corner and added one more from the game making it 8:3. Ten minutes before full time Croatia managed to fulfill their hopes in another short corner but Ukraine again quickly answered with their goal. Both teams then added one goal each making the final score 10:5.
Belarus – Azerbaijan 4-4 (2-2)
In what must have been a nerve wrecking match for both teams it was Azerbaijan who scored from a short corner as the first one. Belarus answered just minutes later scoring an equilizer. Both teams had more or less same ball possession but after a beautiful combination it was again Azerbaijan who scored. By the end of the first half Belarus stroke again making it 2:2 at half time. In second half both teams continued in the same pace and fought for each ball. Azerbaijan managed to score from yet another short corner but Belarus was having none of this and answered with another goal. After a series of short corners Azerbaijan stroke to make it 4:3 but as before again Belarus did not give up and stroke back with a goal from good combination in the circle. The final score read 4:4 at the end.
Austria – Wales 1-2 (1-0)
After their 1:3 defeat yesterday the Austrian ladies surely wanted to earn their first points in the tournament. In the first quarter we could have seen their efforts to score against their opponents unfortunately for them without any luck. However in the second quarter they managed to strike in the 22nd minute after a pressure in Welsh circle. In the second half Wales stepped up and managed to put pressure on their opponents. They scored from a deflection in the circle making it 1:1. Austria being pushed forward by a large number of fans wanted to take the lead but it was again Wales that managed to score 52 seconds before full time.
France – Czech Republic 2-3 (1-1)
After very quick goal of French team, Czech team took over their power, but it wasn't enough to score. When the French team took control of the game, Barbora Haklova scored the first goal of Czech team. After 9 minutes of the second period Kateřina Laciná has scored and then again Barbora Haklová, so it was 3-1 for Czech team, but after a while French team has scored again from a penalty corner. It was dramatic till the end, but Czech girls were calm enough to achieve another win.
Ukraine – Ireland 0-3 (0-1)
In the final game of the day, the first period was dominated by the Irish team and as a result O´Byrne scored the first goal of the match. The rest of the period was still under the control of Ireland. Ukraine was better at the start of the second period, but Ireland scored its second goal from an individual play by Carroll. The rest of the match was again on the side of Ukraine, where it all was finished by penalty corner, scored by Brown.

Janine Chasseguet-Smirgelová [žanin šasege-smirgel] (1928 Paříž – 5. března 2006) byla francouzská psychoanalytička židovského původu, která zkoumala především vztah perverze a kultury, roli tzv. ego-ideálu, kastrace a primárního narcismu.

Život
Narodila se v Paříži židovským rodičům; ztratila mnoho příbuzných během Holokaustu.

Patřila k předním psychoanalytikům, v letech 1983–1989 byla viceprezidentkou Mezinárodní psychoanalytické asociace. Byla též profesorkou na University College v Londýně a na univerzitě Lille Nord ve Francii.

Po 2. světové válce byla členkou Komunistické strany Francie, avšak vystoupila z ní na protest proti sovětské okupaci Maďarska roku 1956. Při studentských bouřích roku 1968 se od levice zcela odvrátila a kritizovala revoltující mládež za to, že jejich vzpoura není politická, ale narcistická. Posléze kritizovala ze stejných pozic politický utopismus jako takový a symbolickou figurou, na níž narcistickou podstatu utopismu ukazovala, byl freud-marxista Wilhelm Reich.

Později oponovala též Jacquesi Lacanovi (svou známou teorii zrcadlové fáze Lacan zformuloval v přímé polemice se Chasseguet-Smirgelovou) a postmodernistickým autorům Gillesi Deleuzeovi a Felixu Guattarimu. Kritizovala Freudův i Lacanův falocentrismus a reformulovala při té příležitosti Freudovy koncepty kastrace a závisti penisu u dívek.

Populární se stala její práce o vztahu kreativity a perverze.

It's winter. Snow and ice are prevalent, and many long days are spent indoors. It often feels dark and like the house can become overwhelming. This is especially true for homemakers, homeschoolers, and stay at home moms.
That's why I'm sharing 5 Days of Home and Keeping in Winter. Take a look at all five days to see what I'm sharing. Oh, and don't miss the Free Scripture Art Printable pages for the Homemaker's Soul below.
Making the choice to honor the God given role of being a keeper at home can sometimes feel like an overwhelming choice. Day in and day out of dishes, laundry, floors and scrubbing isn't always fun. Sometimes it's gross and many times it's just monotonous.
But the role isn't without its joy, comfort and purpose. I understand that homemaking, or keeping if you will, is about the comfort of my family. It's about providing for the needs of each family member, including myself, so that we are furnished for every good work. It's how I contribute to my family. It's a service. It is my ministry.
But, like most, I have to be reminded of that purpose. I need encouragement to help me through the tedious tasks. So I turn to scripture so the word of the Lord can comfort, guide and energize me for the work ahead.
God desires for me as a wife, mom and homemaker to use wisdom and understanding to build and establish my home. While I'm not actually physically building the structure of my home, along with my husband I am building a home that reflects the Lord. Through wisdom we discern what is right for our household management and what is wrong. Through understanding we establish the roles within the family, the rules we shall live by and how we manage the day to day the running of our home.
The second verse, verse 4, offers me encouragement as I work to provide the furnishings, linens, lighting, dishes and more. It allows me to see that I can provide comfort to my family. The thing is I know that the precious and pleasant riches is really more than the things I place lovingly in rooms, rather, it is the love, joy and comfort of my family that are the true precious and pleasant riches.
Through this proverb I can see that a prudent wife is from the Lord. The word prudent means; wise or judicious in practical affairs; discreet or circumspect; sober. It can also mean, careful in providing for the future; provident.
I want to be a prudent wife. I want to be wise in practical affairs and provide well for the future of my family. Doing so in a way which supports my husband, being frugally minded while helping him with financial matters may allow him, as a father, to provide an inheritance to our child.
As a wife and mom, it's my responsibility to see to it that every member of the family has the clothing they need, fitted to their size and is in good condition. We see in this scripture that her household is clothed in scarlet. Scarlet indicates good quality, even wealth. Obviously, we all must tend to these needs in a manner which we can afford, considering the family finances. But in so doing, providing proper clothing for each season, I need not fear for the coming snow of winter because my family will be outfitted for the weather.
I am a wife. So I should ask myself, am a fruitful vine? Within my marriage, in the family, in the home am I producing fruits of benefit to my family or am I a dead vine that does not help my husband and child to grow stronger? A dead vine is dangerous for the whole plant, If I want to ensure growth in my family I must be fruitful in the work given to me by God. Through my fruitful work, my child can grow into a strong olive plant and be a blessing around his father's table.
This passage is so comforting to me. I have been tasked as the keeper of my home. It can be a weighty task. It can be an overwhelming task, it can be a labor-some task. But it is my task nonetheless. What comforts me about this verse is that while I'm a keeper of my home, caretaker of my family, God my heavenly Father is my keeper, my caretaker and He is faithful.
To help encourage you, I've created these Free Printable Scripture Art for the Homemakers Soul pages. You can print on 8 x 11 sheet of paper and then place inside a frame and hang on your wall. Need a little gentle reminder of your role?
Simply tape one on the cabinet next to the kitchen sink so you can reflect on it while doing dishes.
I hope you find these scriptures to be encouraging to you as you work at keeping your home. Keeping can be a rewarding and joyous as you watch your family flourish under your careful provision. What scriptures do you find to be most encouraging for the roles of homemaker? Let me know in comments.
This Home and Keeping in Winter post is a part of the iHomeschool Network Hopscotch.
I love the scripture posters! They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them! I pinned it and shared the link on my FB blog page!
Thank you Debbie! I appreciate you!
Thank you for the little reminder about why we really do all the things we do at home! Great timing.
You are welcome. Thank you for letting me know that you were encouraged.

IRS and ESR characterizations of nanocomposite thin films derived from alkanethiolates and gold nanoparticles
W. X. Zheng, F. L. Leibowitz, M. M. Maye, D. C. Gilbert, D. C. Doetschman, C. J. Zhong
A key to the ultimate technological applications of core-shell nanoparticle materials is the understanding of the structure-property correlation. This work focuses on the characterizations of the structural properties for composite thin films derived from gold nanoparticles and thiolates using infrared reflectance spectroscopic (IRS) and electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques. IRS provides information on molecular packing and ordering of the shell components in the films, which relates to the molecular interactions and interfacial reactivities. ESR probes the conduction electron spin resonance properties of the nanosized cores, which can be correlated with the network or environmental electronic effects on the crystal cores. Results are discussed in terms of their correlation with the nanoparticle core sizes and the organic shell functionality.

2 Jewish Brothers Still Missing in Midwest Twister
Two Jewish brothers are still reported missing along with numerous others in the wake of the second-worst tornado in U.S. history, classified as an F-5.
The twister ripped across the town of Joplin, Missouri Sunday evening was one of several spawned in a system of severe Midwestern thunderstorms over the weekend.
At least 116 people were confirmed dead, dozens more were missing and dozens of others were injured as a result of the tornado. Another bad storm system was predicted, forecasters said.
Rabbi Yehuda Weg, the Tulsa-based director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Oklahoma, stocked a car with food and clothing and headed straight for "ground zero," arriving late Monday night.
Weg, who travels twice a month to Joplin to supervise kosher food production and meet with local Jews, told Chabad.org, "This is absolutely horrific. This tornado was six miles long and almost a mile wide, and went through the center of town."
The two missing brothers, he said, are both active in the small Jewish community. One lives across the street from Joplin High School, which Weg said the tornado reduced to "a pile of bricks."
Volunteers from the American Red Cross and several local disaster agencies were also headed to the area. Mayor Mike Woolston declared the town a disaster area, and Missouri Governor Jay Nixon sent members of the National Guard as well.
Israeli expatriate Omer Mani "lost everything" but discovered among the rubble that his Jewish prayer boxes, known as phylacteries or tefillin, his Hebrew prayer book and a bound copy of the Five Books of Moses (the Bible) were completely intact.
One quarter of the city is standing, but without electricity. One quarter of the city is standing and still has electricity, Mani said.
"Everything else is gone."
Below is a video of the tornado entering the southwest side of the town:

Then there were 5! The Tracy family welcomed Zeke to their family in October. When I first met Jeff and Tracy, they had just had their first-born Eli. Now Eli is the big brother to 2 siblings. I remember seeing Eli for the first time and thinking, "He's such a pretty baby!" He had blond hair, super blue eyes, and those pouty pink baby lips. Well, his little brother was born the same perfect way.
I am always honored when someone asks me to take their pictures, but more so when they invite to the hospital to capture those special moments right after their baby is born. So when Stacey sent me an email a few weeks ago asking me to do this for them, I was super nervous and excited at the same time.
Zeke looks just like his big brother Eli.
Isn't Stacey just gorgeous! 3 babies and she still looks absolutely amazing.
About a week later, I took baby Zeke's newborn photos. I asked my awesome friend / photog mentor Mallory to assist me since I had really never done this before. I needed her knowledge, wisdom, and all her baby props :) She helped me set everything up and gave me tips throughout the whole session. She truly is A-Mazing.
Here is precious baby Zeke. I love his name!
By far, one of my favorite shots from this session.
Here is the Tracy Family! Love them.
Amazing dear.. and you would have rocked it with or without me because you are awesome like that!!

South Dakota Governor
Duties and Powers
FY21 Budget Priorities
Larry Rhoden Biography
About Bryon
Assistance from State Department
Executive Proclamation
Congratulations Letter
Ceremonial Greeting Letter
Request Governor's Attendance
Bryon Noem became the first First Gentleman of South Dakota on January 5, 2019, when his wife, Governor Kristi Noem, was sworn in as the 33rd governor of South Dakota.
Bryon grew up on a farm near Bryant, South Dakota – the place where his love for small towns began. He graduated from Northern State University with a degree in business and finance. After college, he worked on the family farm, coached basketball, and eventually moved into the world of insurance.
Bryon often says the best decision he ever made was marrying Kristi Arnold – a girl from his high school who just wanted to become a farmer and rancher. Together, they have operated a farm and ranch, opened an ice cream shop, helped manage a family restaurant, and pursued numerous other business ventures. Their greatest accomplishment, though, has been raising their three children: Kassidy (who recently married Kyle), Kennedy, and Booker. Bryon continues to operate an insurance agency in Bryant and Watertown and coaches basketball (Go Chargers!).
As First Gentleman, Bryon is working to tell the stories of small town South Dakota and celebrate the hidden gems found throughout the state. His passion is people; his mission is to highlight the people and places of small town South Dakota.
To learn more about Bryon's work as First Gentleman, visit his Facebook page.
More from Bryon
Why are you focusing on small town South Dakota?
I am proud to be from rural South Dakota. It's where I learned the values of hard work and self-reliance, where Kristi and I chose to raise our kids, where we started an insurance business and hunting lodge, and where my family has farmed and ranched for a century. But many small towns like ours are struggling today. Class sizes are dropping. Businesses can't afford to stay open. And fewer kids are coming home to farm or ranch. While South Dakota has grown by more than 100,000 people since 2000, rural populations have decreased. Seeing our larger communities flourish is exciting, but I want to make sure we don't lose South Dakota's rural culture either. I want to remind people that these are some of the best places to raise a family or start a business. I want to show that our way of life here is worth celebrating and promoting. I want to listen to peoples' stories and learn from their experiences, then share them with others.
I want to highlight the good things that are happening in our smaller communities and listen to people tell stories about their hometowns. In our world today, I think we've gotten away from just listening. I want to bring that back. Whether it's hearing the stories of a veteran over morning coffee in a café… shooting hoops with the mayor and hearing about the good and tough times a town has gone through… eating ice cream and learning about the heritage of a community… our hometowns have stories to tell and I want everyone in South Dakota to hear them.
What inspired this initiative?
In the last ten years or so, Kristi and I have been able to meet so many incredible people across South Dakota. It's easy to think the grass is always greener somewhere else, but when it comes down to it, I truly believe that the people of South Dakota are the most kind, genuine people you'll ever meet. And every person, every community has a story. I want people here to learn more about their own state, and I want people outside to learn how great South Dakota is. It's my mission to uncover some of these hidden gems and celebrate the incredible value our small towns bring to our state.
I'm Bryon Noem. Earlier this year, I became South Dakota's first First Gentleman when my wife, Kristi, was sworn in as the 33rd governor of our state. I've been proud to stand beside her as she's tackled some big issues and worked hard to make South Dakota stronger for the next generation.
I'm privileged to play a role in this effort, too. As First Gentleman, my mission is quite simple: I want to celebrate South Dakota and all the things that make it special. I want to remind people of the hidden gems in our small towns – the places off the beaten path. These hometowns are the heartbeat of our state, and I want to highlight them. I want to remind people that these are some of the best places to raise a family or to start a business.
This is our culture. This is who we are. This is South Dakota.

This pretty little dun was part of a sparse midsummer evening hatch on a large Catskill river.
This mayfly was collected from the East Branch of the Delaware River on July 13th, 2005 and added to Troutnut.com on April 14th, 2006.

I'll have to revisit the identification on this one. Originally the fore tarsal ratio made me think it's not Epeorus, but the unmarked wings, costal wing venation, and contiguous eyes now make me think otherwise.

Daily News Egypt April 9, 2016 Be the first to comment
Saudi King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz continued Saturday his first official visit to Egypt by meeting individually with Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb and Pope Tawadros II of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Salman ended his tour in the historic Al-Azhar mosque, where he met the grand imam and other high-profile officials.
According to a presidency handout, Salman observed the latest construction plans to restore the architecture of the mosque. The tour included the inauguration of new student dorms at Al-Azhar.
The king also met with Pope Tawadros II, in unprecedented official talks, with both affirming strong relations between the two countries. The pope thanked King Salman for the kingdom's support for Egypt.
During a joint press conference, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and King Salman agreed to construct a Red Sea bridge connecting the two countries.
During the press conference, Al-Sisi said the visit, which began Thursday, affirms the "brotherly" relations between the two countries and enhances further strategic bilateral cooperation.
The president added that mutual efforts between Saudi Arabia and Egypt will assist in resolving the crises in the region, including in Palestine, Yemen, and Syria.
Al-Sisi also gave King Salman the Order of Nile medal, Egypt's highest decoration, during their meeting in Itihadiya presidential palace.
King Salman said during the press conference that he is pleased to visit Egypt, vowing that the Red Sea bridge will act as a channel to enhance more promising projects between the two countries.
Several economic and development accords were signed between the two sides during the visit. The agreements also included a loan that is reportedly worth $20bn.
Egypt is suffering from a shortage in foreign currency resources due to decline in revenue from tourism, the Suez Canal, and foreign direct investment. It has been economically dependent on loans from different Gulf countries as a mainstay in sustaining its economy.
Salman is expected to visit the Egyptian parliament on Sunday.

Want to know what it is like to experience Paulina Bandy's tutorial?
A tutee's mom, arms outstretched for a hug, rushes up to Paulina Bandy and says, "there's our miracle worker".
Candidate is empowered to take the bar exam after a 20 year hiatus and tells Paulina "My only regret is I did not hire you sooner."
A multiple repeater, who lost her job before the start of her tutorial because she could not pass the CA Bar Exam, emails her appreciation and shares with Paulina Bandy the good news about the pay-off of their hard work... "PASSED. I owe it all to you. Thank you for everything."
"I PASSED!!!!!! Thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement!!!... Thank you!! I owe so much of my success to your help and guidance! I relied so heavily on your Prompts and Framework through the whole experience. You really shaped me and helped me see things in a way that I just couldn't before. Thank you for believing in me and for your support. I still can't believe I finally did it! My emotions are still all over the place. After six tries, I just expected to take the exam again because I didn't want to get my hopes up just to be crushed again. After three years of trying to pass the bar exam, all I know is studying and now I'm kind of in shock and don't know what to do, hahaha. It's like a whole new life just began! Well, again, thank you for your help and guidance, and most of all your kindness!"
"We are all crying here. Thank you so much for all your help."
"I passed. The 2 sweetest words I've waited to say for some time now...Nobody has believed in me like you have..."
"I PASSED!!! Another very satisfied customer..."
"I really hope that I passed, not just for obvious reasons; I'd be really embarrassed if I blew it again after working with a pro."
"Thank you! I'm very relieved."

"PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you SOOOO much Paulina!!!!!!!!! I owe this to you!"
"I had failed the bar exam 8 times before I met you. I passed the 9th time THANKS to YOU! I am indebted to you."
"The name above appears on the pass list for the February 2010 California Bar Examination. Thanks."
"You definitely gave me the tools to pass."
"I passed!!!! Thanks for all your help and moral support!"
"I really appreciate your refreshing energy and positive insight throughout the process, it really helped me."

"Thanks for putting so much work into me. You always looked out for my best interest, and I appreciate it."
"I can tell that you took time to detail a personal study schedule that would work for me. Thank you."
"So the bar is next week. For the first time in a year-and-a-half I'm NOT taking it. Feels pretty awesome. Clients are now paying me for legal advice. Thanks again for being such a great coach and tutor."
Whether you call it reaping what she sows, or karma, Ms. Bandy's candidates give back. All reviews, referrals, recommendations, endorsements, and comments above are, unsolicited and uncompensated, statements from Paulina's bar candidates and their moms.
"I appreciate the trust bar candidates, their families, and their friends, place in me. Thank you for the referrals. In addition, I would like to respond to my students' praises by acknowledging the part they play in this process. Without each candidate's active participation in my tutorial, the outcome might have been different. Just paying for a tutorial does not get you to pass the exam. Each of us has a position to play. The candidates above played their designated position on this two-person team, and played it well."

We keep hearing about some sort of $20 million bonus that might be in the works for any driver who wins the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in the same day.
That's a lot of baloney.
Expensive baloney, granted – but still baloney.
It was a goofy ideal back in years past when a handful of drivers tried it, and it'll be a goofy ideal if somebody tries it again in the future – no matter how gold-plated it may be.
It's purely a sideshow gimmick, and officials of both races should be ashamed to be a part of it.
What's next – offering $20 million bonus to any jockey who can win the Kentucky Derby riding a mule?
The Indy 500 is arguably motor sports' greatest single spectacle, a storied race that supposedly pushes man and machine to the utmost limits.
If that's so – if they truly give everything they've got to their effort at the Brickyard – then what's left over? How can they possibly hop a plane, fly to Charlotte, and run another race later that day?
And it's not just another race. It's NASCAR's longest race, 600 grueling miles.
We always hear drivers talk about how draining and demanding the 600 is, about how they have to dig down deep to come up with enough energy and stamina and will to make it to the end.
And yet some have gone into the 600-miler after running 500 miles at Indy. How absurd.
I said it then and I'll say it now: Any driver who attempts the Indy-Coke doubleheader is selfishly short-changing both his teams.
Driving the Indy 500 requires total focus; a driver can't be screaming around the track while looking at his watch and wondering if he's going to have time to catch his plane to Charlotte. He may not do it literally, but in the back of his mind he knows he has a tight schedule to keep, and that means he's not totally concentrating on the job at hand.
It's even worse when he gets to Charlotte Motor Speedway, having been up since dawn and immersed in the swirl and chaos of Indy. Logging 500 miles in one of racing most demanding, pressurized events is hardly an ideal way to prepare for another 600 miles of racing.
A driver who's run 500 miles at Indy can't possibly give his best effort, physically and mentally, later that day at Charlotte. And if he can't give his best effort, then he's short-changing his team, his sponsors, his fans and his sport.
Running both races doesn't show a driver's determination, its shows his lack of dedication.
And all for what? To be part of a gimmick.
The $20 million "bonus" is, of course, a sham; a driver has to win both same-day races to collect it. What are the odds of that? That's not a bonus, that's a carnie shell game.
If a driver needs money that badly, maybe he should try pro wrestling. I hear that it pays pretty well, and at least it's up-front about its phoniness.
Green. white checker. Wave around. Giving lucky dog lap. Stopping race every 30 laps or more to tighten up race and let crew work on cars. Pits closed to tighten up race. Perfectly OK to hit and or wreck car in front of you to make pass. Cars make race that are to slow on speed to qualify while faster cars go home. Now that is baloney, not racing. These are rules for dim fans who do not know how to watch a race unfold. These rules are what contribute to the bad show, not make good racing. Racing has been replaced by entertainment. The more you water it down the worse it will get. And you chime about a bonus.
Didn't get your point, if there was one.

Q: AngularFire2/Rxjs the right way to do "nested subscriptions" with rxjs? Working with angular and firebase on a project for my father's restaurant
I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out rxjs for a bit now. I'm trying to read data in from my database to present in my view. The data consits of a category and items
Category
    id: str
    name: str
    desc: str
    order: num

Item
   id: str
   name: str
   desc: str
   price: str
   category: str
   order: num

To display the data to my view I'm trying to pull the data in, in this format
export interface CategoryItems {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  order: number;
  description?: string;
  items?: Array<Item>;
}

Where items are defined as
export interface Item {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  price: string;
  category: string;
  order: number;
}

The code I initially wrote contained subscriptions to get the items within the subscription to get the categories. This ended up in some not so fun bugs when I started updating the data. Going back I wrote this new code to try to fix the issue. This returned everything correctly, except the items were returned as an observable object instead of the correct format. I don't think it's even subscribing to them at all, and dont know how to map it correcly and subscribe to it all at once or sequentially.
Here's the typscript
this.afs.collection('categories', ref => ref.orderBy('order')).snapshotChanges().pipe(
      map(category => {
        let tempCat: any = []
        tempCat = category.map(a => {
          let temp: any = a.payload.doc.data()
          temp.id = a.payload.doc.id

          temp.items = []
          temp.items = this.afs.collection('items', ref => ref.where('category', '==', temp.name)).snapshotChanges().pipe(
            map(item => {
              let tempitem: any = []
              tempitem = item.map(b => {
                let temp2: any = b.payload.doc.data()
                temp2.id = b.payload.doc.id
                return temp2
              })
            })
          )
          console.log(temp)
          return temp
        })
        console.log(tempCat)
        return tempCat
      },

      )
    ).subscribe(result => {
      this.categories = result
    })

This what the result currently is
(5) [{…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}]
0: {description: "test", name: "testyy", order: 0, id: "BuLw9S1NabBe86fVNvPc", items: Observable}
1: {description: "", name: "Plates", order: 1, id: "ob6W6fhjJREtpRq6QKAK", items: Observable}
2: {order: 2, name: "test3", description: "", id: "89d4HpLazuPSRBCQ2cWK", items: Observable}
3: {order: 2, name: "test4", description: "", id: "GNEcJu9gWCS67VYLYGom", items: Observable}
4: {name: "Deli Meal", description: "", order: 2, id: "L6Eq11MKjTk6RWqlSZoz", items: Observable}

So my question is, how do I rewrite this seciton of code to subscribe to it in the format I want, or how do I do that with a changed, better format to store it for my view?

A: this.afs.collection('categories', ref => ref.orderBy('order')).snapshotChanges().pipe(
  switchMap(
    categorys => merge(
      categories.map(category => this.afs.collection('items', ref => ref.where('category', '==', category.name)).snapshotChanges())
    )
  )
).subscribe(arrayOfResults => { // do stuff });

English Transcript of Andy's media conference yesterday.
I am very shameful and apologetic because I did something very wrong and unforgivable. I hereby sincerely apologize to all those affected and hurt by the incident. Committing such a serious mistake, I can't face myself, I don't know how to face my family, Kenneth, my friends, my company, my colleagues... I don't dare to seek everyone's forgiveness, I only hope to ask for everyone whose involved to be allowed some space. I will reflect on my own mistakes and accept and bear the consequences. Once again, "I'm sorry everyone." End of Transcript. I apologise for any inaccuracy in my translation. Feel free to point it out. Do credit @tvbdramafans if repost.

Q: How do I factor polynomials with power 3 and above? All of the videos I've found do things like "let's try -1. oh, it works! okay, now let's divide it out and find the next root".  Is there really no other strategy other than guess and check?  A couple of times I've come across these high power polynomials in contests and I just have no clue what to do with them.  I'm asking this question specifically now because there's a question in my textbook that asks me to find the two imaginary roots of a polynomial of 4th power.  Clearly guess and check is not going to work as well with imaginary numbers, and even with real ones it seems like a pain.  What strategies do you guys use to factor?

A: There is in fact a Cubic Formula, which can give you the roots, and make factoring trivial...although it is a little more complicated than the famed Quadratic Formula; see here https://math.vanderbilt.edu/schectex/courses/cubic/. And there is also a Quartic Formula, but that is much more complicated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function#Solving_a_quartic_equation . And in fact there is $\textbf{not}$ a general equation for 5th and higher order polynomials; a famous theorem known as Abel–Ruffini theorem.
But that is besides the point.
For factoring, particularly in contests; there is normally a trick to see, which is what makes the problems so rich. There are often various symmetries that can be used, or a quantity you can add and subtract which allows you to complete squares, polynomial division, etc.
If we are told roots are rational, then there is a lot that can be accomplished by guess and check, which is often what is taught in high school. However in the case where you have a Quartic Polynomial, I would assume the first step would be to split it into a product of two Quadratic Polynomials and go from there, since if there are 2 imaginary roots, they are probably conjugates of one another which can be expressed in one quadratic polynomial.
There is no general strategy of factoring, just various techniques.


Spare your time and cash. Let our technical support staff look after your virtual server for only $16.00 /month.
Server monitoring is a rather challenging task for newbie VPS owners – you need to keep an eye on how your VPS server is doing, to determine if it's overloaded, to check if all the services are performing okay.

One should take especial note of the cholla, in all of her varieties. The needle-slender quills on this intricate plant reach long, often a little farther than you expect at first glance, and have microscopic hooks at the end, so that they hurt more pulling out than going in. Static electricity builds in these quills, causing segments of the plant to break off and attach to you, seeming to jump at you if you brush too close. These quills also give chollas a friendly, fuzzy look, or in some lights a luminous, mysterious look, or a sparkling, potent look.
And Cholla is your friend. Stern mistress of harsh lessons, Cholla is the Teacher of Awareness. You cannot simply bumble through the desert--not on her watch! If you don't pay attention, she will make you wake up and notice your surroundings. She will tug at your clothing--or your skin. A few lessons from her and you learn to venture into the desert with heightened awareness. This can save your life, preventing you from stepping on a rattlesnake blended into the gravelly background (whose venom works swift and sure) or an unstable rock that could tumble you into a breakneck fall. Those who hate Cholla and despise her lessons had better go back to the city and walk on ways paved for them, necessitating little thought. But then they risk dwindling to little more than a cog in the larger machine, and never seeing fairies.
More than save your life, Cholla--and the desert as a whole--can save your soul. Under her tutelage you enter into what this society would call an altered state of consciousness, but which fairies call the original state of consciousness--a state tuned in to all things. You cease to hike, racing briskly from one point to the next on schedule. You move slowly, deliberately, pausing often, constantly assessing your surroundings. You take labyrinthine routes, swaying under thorny branches, stepping over cacti, working around one obstacle only to meet another, considering every step with care. And you become, perforce, intensely aware of every leaf, every lizard, every stone, every cloud in the sky. You hear a rustle and you pause to assess whether a deer or a mountain-lion made it. You sniff for the foul odor of javalinas and catch instead the sweetness of a lemonscent or a feral acacia. Unexpected paths open up before you, and you take them, trusting intuition. Thus do the fair folk perceive, and want us to perceive. It is the only way we can ever find them. Yet you needn't walk in the desert to learn this skill.
Beverly D'Urso has written extensively on what she calls lucid living. A researcher into dreams, she has long studied lucid dreaming (awareness of dreaming while still in the dream) ever since a lucid dream in her childhood transformed her life. Over the years she has trained herself to ask herself, in dreams, "Am I dreaming?" This led, curiously yet inevitably, to constantly asking herself the same question while walking around in what most people call the waking world.
And she has gotten amazing results, and so have many who have followed her example. Tuning into your surroundings, constantly waking yourself up to your experience, leads you out of the mind-dulled habits of the modern age. You find amazing things around every corner--heck, you don't even have to go around the corner, you can find marvels right where you stand or sit, right now. Beauty--incredible beauty--everywhere!
You find harsh, terrible things, too. We have made a world (world being an overlay upon the Earth, a false reality) that we ourselves find unbearable. People go to great lengths to tune it out, drink or drug it away, distract themselves, mire themselves in habits, minimize their thinking and attention a thousand different ways. The Fair Folk cannot contact us in such a state. And we cannot change anything for the better so long as we can't bear to look at it. But whoever awakens can reform the world around them. And whoever awakens can, in time, come to see the Fair Folk.
Many fairies don't hide from us on purpose. Our way has so diverged from theirs that we can no longer see them clearly. Sometimes they will make an enormous effort to meet us more than halfway, but it takes so much energy that they can only manifest in seeming tininess, or as just a dot of light. Or they will borrow existent shapes visible to us, grain in wood, bumps in stone, twigs in the wind, whatever comes to hand, put out an enormous glamor to project their reality into a form that we can see--only to have us dismiss it, after a startled moment, as an optical illusion. In these cases they resort to glamor much as an autistic person might practice acting out facial expressions before a mirror, to try and learn how to convey genuine feelings. Only the deficit compensated for lies in us, not them.
The dangers of the desert serve me well, surpassing the dangers of awareness sufficiently to override my fears of waking up the whole way. And in embracing awareness I find not only danger, but also incredible beauty, truth, mystery and magic, not to mention glimpses of the Fair Folk. Anyone can achieve the same result,, however. No one actually needs a desert to prick them into awareness. They can choose to wake up on their own. They can periodically ask themselves, Am I dreaming? and become lucid. And once they vanquish the initial fear and overcome the long-held habits, they find the rewards of heightened awareness more than worth the effort. And the Fair Folk will reward them.

MOVIE REVIEW: 'Masterminds' wastes its A-list comedic cast
By Dana Barbuto/The Patriot Ledger
"Masterminds" carries what has to be the year's most ironic title – it's neither masterful nor mindful.
Jared "Napoleon Dynamite" Hess' caper comedy "Masterminds" carries what has to be the year's most ironic title – it's neither masterful nor mindful. More moronic than funny, it is by far the most frustrating movie I've watched in awhile, as Hess pulls off the impossible by egregiously wasting an A-list comedic ensemble of Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Jason Sudeikis, Owen Wilson and Leslie Jones on material that's the equivalent of the diarrhea a character excretes into a swimming pool. Yes, folks, that is what passes for funny. No wonder why the studio shuffled the film's release date three times. Never a good sign.
Shooting wrapped in 2014 – two years before this summer's breakout of "Ghostbusters" gals Wiig, McKinnon and Jones, a trio whom the studio is clearly aiming to cash in on. But it's hoping against hope.
The movie, from writers Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer, who penned next week's not-screening-for-critics "Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life," and TV comedy scribe Emily Spivey ("SNL," "King of the Hill"), is inspired by the 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery in North Carolina. It was dubbed the "Hillbilly Heist" because the gang made so many idiotic mistakes in emptying a vault containing $17 million.
Hess and his band of merry morons use the real-life crime as a jumping off point for their self-indulgent scatological humor. It is one cheap laugh grab after the next, and the audience I saw it with did LOL. From a premise standpoint, the movie is onto something, but the material is junk. It's just a string of episodic bits in which the ensemble gets paired in sketches stretched out over the movie's 90-minute run time.
We first meet Galifianakis' schlubby armored truck driver David Ghantt in voice-over, he's telling us about his boring life. A spark goes off when the pretty Kelly Campbell (Wiig) also comes on board at Loomis Fargo. She uses her wiles to lure the doltish David into participating in the heist her co-conspirators have planned.
After a silly-but-promising early scene involving a mishap with a butt crack and firearm, the script basically separates the two for the rest of the movie, as David goes on the lam to Mexico with $20,000 cash stuffed into his tighty-whiteys. Stupid move. Galifianakis and Wiig had something brewing.
Wilson plays the alleged "brains" of the operation, a petty thief who steals wheelchairs from pediatric hospitals. Newly minted Emmy-winner McKinnon might do the best impression ever of Hillary Clinton, but here she's another casualty, seemingly dropping in from another movie as David's creepy fiancee. She's got two highlights. The first is an amusing engagement photo session in which she and Galifianakis mug for the camera in silly poses. The second involves a cat fight with Wiig and vaginal cream. Sudeikis is an off-kilter hit man charged with tracking down David south of the border. Jones is the FBI agent investigating the theft. With a game cast like this, the movie definitely has a couple amusing spots. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut, right?
But overall, the effort is not cohesive. When the best part of the film is the era-appropriate clothing and props, you know you're in trouble. It's a hoot seeing those huge cordless phones popular in the mid-'90s and Wiig's character's collection of acid-washed skirts paired with classic white Reebok high-tops.
This is the first movie Hess ("Nacho Libre") has directed in which he didn't have a hand in writing, and it never feels like he has a grip on the story he's attempting to tell. And with this great cast, that amounts to a crime. But we end up serving the time.
