The catch phrase for the new AR500 in .500 Auto Max from Big Horn Armory may be the best of the year. "It can handle anything from prairie dogs to Pachyderms to Peterbilts." That's some serious stopping power in a platform weighing less than ten pounds. It's time we learn about that round.
The .500 Auto Max is the brainchild of Greg Buchel, President of Big Horn Armory in Cody, WY in conjunction with Tim Sundles of Buffalo Bore Ammunition in Salmon, ID. Both Slickgun and ammo were launched in 2018. Big Horn is known for building custom-grade, big bore rifles. Likewise, Buffalo Bore is one of the best in the industry for producing premium, hard-hitting, heavy hunting loads.
Only Buffalo Bore and Underwood produce the ammunition. Starline makes and sells the brass for reloaders. Buffalo Bore is clearly in the lead here, working directly with Big Horn to tailor rounds to the guns. The .500 Auto Max launches bullets from 250 to 700 grains, with many options yet to come, including subsonic rounds. Big Horn warned us to beware early loads from Underwood which were "loaded very hot and dropped primers." That issue seems to have since been rectified.
The .500 Auto Max is essentially a rimless .500 S&W Magnum. Reloaded with the same dies and shell holders, the Auto Max uses the same load data as the .500 S&W Mag, save for requiring a taper crimp instead of the standard roll crimp. This is due to the Auto Max headspacing off the case mouth instead of the rim.
Big Horn Armory is the original and only company building a firearm for the Auto Max. In fact, they build two: the AR500 Rifle and a just-announced AR pistol as well. The rifle retails for $1,999. Our test rifle wears a 1:24 twist 18 inch Barrel, adjustable gas block, picatinny rail, adjustable buttstock, flash suppressor, and ships with a five-round magazine.
For more info on both the .500 Auto Max chambering and the AR500 platform that fires the round, check out our Slickguns Review at Guns.com. If you're wondering what the .500 Auto Max has to offer over, say the .50 Beowulf or other large caliber AR-15-based rounds, that and other details can be found there, as well as plenty of big hunks of lead going downrange.

Practicing Yoga, Practicing Humility
Every time I think a bad thought about someone (which I shouldn't do), I stub my toe. HARD. Or I bang my elbow into my desk. HARD. Or my knee on the side of the bed. HARD. I like to think of this excruciating pain as Whoever's-Up-There's little way of teaching me a lesson about humility. It's like when I walk around at work, smug about whatever I'm being smug about and an email goes ping! in my inbox and it's a withering dressing down from someone or other that sends me hiding under my desk for the rest of the afternoon (not that I actually do that ... well ... not for a whole afternoon). Like, ouch. Nothing like some humiliation to bring you down to earth.
Lessons in humility make their way to my yoga practice every time I step on my mat. Whether it's the time I lost my balance whilst perching gracefully in crow, causing me to fall on my face, HARD, and the guy next to me to whisper an infuriating, "smooth", or when I've arrogantly anticipated a pose, only to find the entire class remaining in downward dog for a few extra breaths - I know I can work on being more humble.
As I've mentioned before, I use Lauren's rare absences from teaching to try another instructor's class (read about how I humiliated myself at the Iyengar Institute here) and learn something new about my yoga practice, so I recently decided to sample Simon Bradley's Tuesday hatha class at Jubilee Hall Trust. Fairly less dynamic than Lauren's Vinyasa flow class, Simon focuses on correct alignment, holding poses, and understanding the anatomy and physiology behind an asana. It took me one class to realize that I had developed some pretty bad habits, including the fact that my stance in Warrior One was severely shortened and my Warrior Two was downright lazy. I was mortified. Mortified, but humbled. Inwardly, I rolled my eyes when Simon corrected the very subtle misalignment of my toes in King Cobra pose, citing that as the reason for my toes not reaching closer to my head but was surprised to find how much more space that minor correction gave me. Again, I was reminded of Lauren's constant but gentle reminding that yoga is a journey, not a means to an end. In an hour, I discovered just how complacent I had become in my practice and how deeply unsatisfying that was. I was sad to recognize that I'd stopped being mindful in Lauren's class and perhaps prideful instead. Simon's class was like that email in my inbox - the wake-up call I needed to shake me from my place in the clouds.
I think it's great to stick to a teacher or style of yoga you like, but I don't think it's beneficial to shy away from new experiences. These experiences may be uncomfortable - they may even be humiliating - but in those moments of clarity, of slamming your knee into the bed frame, you receive a sliver of enlightenment (not to mention, a heck of a lot of pain).

Trinity Hospice: River Walk 2011
Last weekend, John, Tom, Cristy, Alison and I participated in Trinity Hospice's River Walk fundraising event and raised over £800 for the hospice, in memory of John's uncle, Chris.
When I first moved to London, Chris was the one who introduced me to the plush carpets of Fortnum & Mason and the delights of its chocolate counter. And before Kate Middleton made The Goring a household name (even in the US), Chris took me there for lunch and insisted that we dress up and take pre-meal drinks in the separate bar. I'll never forget that.
We developed an unexpected, but cherished, friendship over the three years I knew him - through email, Skype, and long conversations in his Pimlico flat ("Westminster, please," he'd correct me). At the time, I worked at an office not far from Pimlico and would accompany him on fun (House of Fraser) or grocery (Sainsbury's) shopping trips after work. Over a cup of tea, we extolled the virtues of Finzi and Vaughan Williams, but mostly ... we gossiped. About everything. Reality television, fashion, the news, people in the news, people we knew, people we didn't know - everything was up for discussion. So even now, after he's gone, I still instinctively get the "I can't wait to tell Chris" feeling before reminding myself he's not there to tell anymore.
Chris spent the last few months of his life in and out of Trinity. I'll be honest: before I stepped foot into Trinity, the mere mention of the word "hospice" was like an icy claw around my heart. I imagined a dark, suffocating place, with - for some strange reason - no daylight, no happiness, only sadness and grieving. The first time I visited Chris there however, I was bowled over by how wrong I was: this hospice was bright, shiny, pleasant, warm and, above all, comfortable. It had a lovely garden where guests could take strolls and the individual rooms had floor to ceiling windows overlooking this beautiful scene. The furnishings were more akin to those of a boutique hotel, rather than a hospice - or what one would expect of a hospice. The nurses were friendly, helpful and kind and Chris would often tell me how incredible they were. All I remember thinking was how glad I was that he was being cared for in such an environment.
Chris is still listed as a "follower" of this blog. Occasionally, I'll search back to entries that have his comments just to read them again: they don't make me sad. They make me laugh. I used to complain, "Why haven't you commented yet?" when he was silent about what I'd written. "I can't think of anything witty enough to say!" he'd moan and I'd laugh because he prided himself on his sharp observations and witticisms. I miss his opinions, his insight and his personality.
But my best friend passed on a wonderful saying that always helps: "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure."
Team Chris Morris's fundraising page on JustGiving is open and accepting donations until June 2012. Please consider making a small donation to Trinity Hospice here: http://www.justgiving.com/jaimejohn
Spa Weekend @ The Runnymede-on-Thames
Ever so often, John and I exchange a wild look: it is one comprised of fear, panic, paranoia, stress. Accompanying this look are dashing, dark circles under John's eyes and a smattering of pimples, threatening to burst with ferocity over my already severely blemished chin. When this "look" crosses our faces, we both know it's time to take a break. Away. Out of the city. Preferably into the countryside. Preferably to a hotel that has a spa. Preferably a spa that has an indoor and outdoor pool, jacuzzi, eucalyptus (this is very important) steam room, sauna, and plunge pool (not essential, but a plus).
Our favorite spot of all-time for such getaways is The Grove, but unfortunately, it was fully booked when I made our last minute enquiry, so I had to find an alternative. I settled on The Runnymede-on-Thames in Egham for the pure reason that it'd be easy to get to (bus from Islington to Waterloo, then quick train down to Surrey) and the price was just about right (£164 for one night, including breakfast and use of the spa facilities). Plus, the photos on the website of happy families pointing out ducks on the river and taking afternoon tea (the cake stand filled with finger sandwiches and scones sold it to me) on the river bank seemed ideal.
But looks can be deceiving, as an overwhelming sense of disappointment washed over me when we pulled into the parking lot of the hotel, just off a roundabout near the motorway. The photo above is of the BACK of the hotel, not the front - so what you're actually greeted with is a faceless, business conference-like front with a car park that rivals Costco's (okay, okay, there was a bit of grass and shrubbery to distinguish it from the Costco parking lot) - not the sunny, boutique-y charm the website would like to have you believe. Undeterred, we waltzed in and checked into our room, grabbing some lunch on the terrace on the way. "Would you recommend booking in advance for the two restaurants here?" I asked the waitress who served us. It didn't look terribly busy, but with no dinner choices around other than the hotel, we'd be a bit stranded tonight if reservations were essential. "You'll have to check with the front desk," she answered, which puzzled me a bit since she worked there and would probably be best placed to answer the question of whether or not the restaurant is busy in the evenings. Still, we got distracted and forgot to ask. Sure enough, as we approached one of the restaurants at 6:30 p.m. (which was completely empty, save for two tables, by the way) we were politely told by the Maitre d' that both restaurants were fully booked and that the earliest sitting was at 9:30 p.m. We were encouraged to eat at the bar/lounge area, which was fine since we didn't want more than a sandwich in the end anyway, but was quite irritating. You'd think it was common courtesy for hotel staff to inform you, upon check-in, that dinner does get quite busy and it'd be a good idea to book - certainly, The Grove offers to arrange reservations at one of their restaurants before you've even arrived!
However, whatever Runnymede lacks in charm, character or common sense, it makes up for in its outdoor pool. Yes, that's right - a luxuriously long and wide, blue mosaic-tiled outdoor pool which is meticulously cared for and absolutely sparkles when the sun shines. I know this because I was in that pool when the sun was shining and can confirm that floating on your back in an empty, warm pool whilst staring at the underbelly of planes flying overhead is possibly the most amazing feeling ever. If, for even two minutes, I felt completely and utterly relaxed and happy, then the £164 I spent that weekend was totally worth it.
The next day, after checking out, we took advantage of the good weather and left our bags at the hotel and took a stroll along the river, as the spa is closed to guests after check-out (again, something that simply doesn't happen at The Grove - there, you're encouraged to stay as long as you'd like to continue your swim or sauna experience after you've checked out) though you can pay for a pass "per hour" which we decided against since it was so lovely outside anyway. We stumbled upon a regional private school regatta where crews of 16 and unders rowed their way to posh stardom on the Thames. It was truly like a scene out of Harry Potter, with marquees set up for schools such as Eton and Henley. We even crashed their BBQ (though we paid, after all) and sampled some delicious burgers cooked by Surrey locals while watching poor, scrawny 10-year-old boys with arms no thicker than my wrist (and I have small wrists) try not to disappoint their over-paying parents, who were decked out in Boden and had names like Harriet, Hamish and Francesca. Bizarre, yet highly entertaining.
Would I recommend The Runnymede-on-Thames? Only if you're desperate and the weather is good - then it's not a terribly bad place to get to. But if you've got better options, I'd say skip out.

Frederick's, Islington High Street
To celebrate the completion of six months at my rather new-ish job, John took me out to dinner at Frederick's on Islington High Street. I'm still marvelling at the dining options in Angel and the offerings on this particular back street (bustling during the day because of the market but quietly buzzing at night due to trendy hot spots such as The Elk in the Woods) are what I consider to be particular gems of eating out in Islington.
My heart sank a little when we arrived at the restaurant, greeted by loud al-fresco diners and a semi-packed Friday night bar at the front - I had been hoping for something a little quieter. But I should have known better than to doubt John's judgement when my dismay gave way to unadulterated astonishment at the beautiful, light and spacious restaurant area that unfolded in front of us as we were led to the back of the establishment. As it was fairly warm last evening, there were quite a few diners at tables outside already, but we had a terrific spot indoors.
"We're having a starter, main course and dessert," John said emphatically as he opened the menu. "I don't think I can fit that all in," I said, despite feeling hungry. After all, I had eaten out for every meal every day since Wednesday evening and was feeling a bit ... like a blob. Oops. He shot me a look. "You have to," he ordered. So I obliged.
To start, I ordered the baked scallops with chorizo and tomato mimosa. Served on a porcelain shell-shaped dish, the flavors were both complex and perfectly complementary - a true taste sensation. I also marvelled at John's salt and pepper squid, served in mock news print with a delicious home-made sweet chilli sauce. The batter was crunchy and responsive, not soggy and doughy, as you usually get from under-par restaurants. For our mains, I chose the chargrilled tuna, which I'd was warned (to my delight) would be quite raw in the middle - therefore, I was quite disappointed when it arrived nearly cooked through. I suppose the menu did specify "chargrilled" rather than "seared", which would explain for how well-done it was. The sweet, almost Indian-spiced lentil salsa and coriander shoots were the perfect accompaniment. John had the cote-de-boeuf, which was slightly chewy, but the herb butter won me over (yeah, I totally stole bites). For dessert, I had a slight panic because it was the first time I'd ever seen a banana split offered on a British menu and I knew I had to have it - problem was, I felt more inclined toward the chocolate tart and coconut ice cream. What to do? I went for what my heart told me to do and enjoyed every minute of the tart. John seemed quite happy with his strudel but I didn't have a chance to poke my fork in because at this point, we had become embroiled in some wine-fuelled, deep conversation about something or other.
At Frederick's presentation is nearly everything. From the decor, which makes you feel as if you're dining in an over-sized marquee within a greenhouse to the beautifully arranged dishes, it's a visual feast and I'm a glutton for beauty when properly eating out.
So if the food and surroundings are so great at Frederick's, then what lets it down? The service, unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, our sommelier was stellar: initially pairing my menu choices with Riesling and when I complained that I detested Riesling, he insisted I have a taste anyway. When I still protested at the sharpness of the wine, he instead charmingly led us to a bottle of Mittnacht Gyotaku - a blend from Alsace which is especially paired with sashimi and/or sushi (I had ordered chargrilled tuna and John wanted a white instead of red anyway). His knowledge and passion for wine, as well as his extremely personable manner, made the wine selection a delight. Our head server was the real problem. Offering us bread to begin, he rattled off the choices so quickly and in the lowest growl possible, I could barely understand him. When I asked him politely to repeat, he sighed and repeated it back as if I was an insolent child. "Which would you recommend," asked John when hesitating over his choice of main course. "The lamb cutlets or the cote-de-boeuf?" The waiter, who had been at this point scanning the restaurant impatiently and tapping his pad with his pen as John displayed a slight indication of indecision, looked at John with a mixture of pity and contempt: "The cote-de-boeuf is a rib-eye steak, the lamb cutlets is lamb." Silence. Wow, that was helpful - the assumption that we were ignorant as to the meaning of "cote-de-boeuf" and condescension in his voice was enough to drive anyone away. "The steak is good," he added hastily, with a sharp jerk of his chin. "Um, right, I'll go with the steak then," said John. "Would you like to order wine?" he inquired. "Yes," I said, flipping the wine menu open to the whites. "And what would you recommend for a white?" "Well, they're here," he replied, pointing his finger at the selection I'd been considering for the past 15 minutes. He looked distracted again. "My colleague will help you, he's more knowledgeable with the wine," he said before turning sharply on his heel and summoning the sommelier. Yes, he would be - he's the sommelier, my friend. Sigh. Fortunately, the lack of people-skills from one server didn't entirely constitute bad service, as we were well looked after by others during our dessert and coffee courses.
If there's one lesson I learned last night, it's that if you're looking for a special meal out, there's no need to venture into the stiff West End stand-bys on Toptable or Tatler recommendations - there are always secret gardens lurking around the corner. That and the fact that my boyfriend has impeccable taste in choosing restaurants. And I'm spoiled.

2019 Review: Most Favored Hedge Fund Stocks vs. Crown Holdings, Inc. (CCK)
Hedge funds are known to underperform the bull markets but that's not because they are bad at investing. Truth be told, most hedge fund managers and other smaller players within this industry are very smart and skilled investors. Of course, they may also make wrong bets in some instances, but no one knows what the future holds and how market participants will react to the bountiful news that floods in each day. Hedge funds underperform because they are hedged. The Standard and Poor's 500 Total Return Index ETFs returned 31% through December 23rd. Conversely, hedge funds' top 20 large-cap stock picks generated a return of 41.1% during the same period. An average long/short hedge fund returned only a fraction of this due to the hedges they implement and the large fees they charge. Our research covering the last 18 years indicates that investors can outperform the market by imitating hedge funds' consensus stock picks rather than directly investing in hedge funds. That's why we believe it isn't a waste of time to check out hedge fund sentiment before you invest in a stock like Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK).
Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK) has experienced an increase in support from the world's most elite money managers recently. CCK was in 42 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of September. There were 35 hedge funds in our database with CCK positions at the end of the previous quarter. Our calculations also showed that CCK isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds (click for Q3 rankings and see the video at the end of this article for Q2 rankings).
Israel Englander of Millennium Management
We leave no stone unturned when looking for the next great investment idea. For example Discover is offering this insane cashback card, so we look into shorting the stock. One of the most bullish analysts in America just put his money where his mouth is. He says, "I'm investing more today than I did back in early 2009." So we check out his pitch. We read hedge fund investor letters and listen to stock pitches at hedge fund conferences. We even check out this option genius' weekly trade ideas. This December, we recommended Adams Energy as a one-way bet based on an under-the-radar fund manager's investor letter and the stock already gained 20 percent. With all of this in mind let's take a peek at the latest hedge fund action surrounding Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK).
Hedge fund activity in Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK)
Heading into the fourth quarter of 2019, a total of 42 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were long this stock, a change of 20% from the previous quarter. By comparison, 33 hedge funds held shares or bullish call options in CCK a year ago. With hedge funds' sentiment swirling, there exists a few noteworthy hedge fund managers who were increasing their stakes substantially (or already accumulated large positions).
More specifically, Lyrical Asset Management was the largest shareholder of Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK), with a stake worth $313.4 million reported as of the end of September. Trailing Lyrical Asset Management was Rivulet Capital, which amassed a stake valued at $131 million. Millennium Management, Adage Capital Management, and Viking Global were also very fond of the stock, becoming one of the largest hedge fund holders of the company. In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Rivulet Capital allocated the biggest weight to Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK), around 14.86% of its 13F portfolio. SAYA Management is also relatively very bullish on the stock, earmarking 11.08 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to CCK.
As industrywide interest jumped, some big names were breaking ground themselves. Alyeska Investment Group, managed by Anand Parekh, initiated the most outsized position in Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK). Alyeska Investment Group had $67.4 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Dmitry Balyasny's Balyasny Asset Management also made a $26.5 million investment in the stock during the quarter. The following funds were also among the new CCK investors: Mark Kingdon's Kingdon Capital, David E. Shaw's D E Shaw, and Guy Shahar's DSAM Partners.
Let's also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks similar to Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK). We will take a look at Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND), Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALNY), Nice Systems Ltd (NASDAQ:NICE), and Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (NASDAQ:MLCO). This group of stocks' market values are closest to CCK's market value.
BYND 17 92936 1
ALNY 29 779948 -6
NICE 16 375883 -3
MLCO 24 533835 2
Average 21.5 445651 -1.5
As you can see these stocks had an average of 21.5 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $446 million. That figure was $1267 million in CCK's case. Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALNY) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Nice Systems Ltd (NASDAQ:NICE) is the least popular one with only 16 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCK) is more popular among hedge funds. Our calculations showed that top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds returned 41.1% in 2019 through December 23rd and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by 10.1 percentage points.

Nord A1 And Nord 4 - Should We Overpay?
Clavia might have got a too quick move on releasing Nord Lead A1 and deprived themselves of extra profit they could get with their recent Nord Lead 4. Well, maybe they wanted to grip the audience with two great products at once. Great but quite different so both of them have their own line of fans and in this review we'll touch upon their architectural and sonic basics.
Nord Lead A1 came out right after Nord Lead 4. They look alike though not completely – A1 has a little bit more compact dimensions. Both keyboards have 49 notes, are velocity sensitive, retain Clavia classic mod wheel and wooden pitch bend lever as well as a 4-part multitimbrality traditional for Lead series. A1 and Lead 4 offer the same memory, MIDI and USB integration, support Nord Sound Manager but A1 gives 6 more voices of the polyphony though there are fewer controllers.
Let's suppose Nord Lead A1 is a happy medium between Nord Lead 4 and Stage series. Its concept inspires, helps you to experiment and allows to get to the sounds which were hidden in the structural jungle of previous Nords, moreover its quality is definitely as good. Despite the fact that Lead A1 has a lower cost than Lead 4 does it's definitely not a budget instrument and its price tag is considerably higher than that of Roland Gaia or KingKORG.
The developer of Nord Lead A1 points out that he kept in mind a certain idea when he reduced the number of panel controlls. He was going to construct a quick-thinking machine with basic functionality but ample sound space. By "sound space" he means operation with the actual sound – more like playing with it and enjoying the process instead of plunging into the programming only to find yourself clambering hell out of it. Clavia went against market requirements but they assure us that the limits is exactly what we need sometimes.
A1 is not as flexible as Lead 4 but the effects have been improved and pads editing has become much smoother and much more prompt, almost perfect. Clavia convinced us that they had no intention to turn A1 into a stripped-down Lead 4 version while lowering the cost as well as they didn't try to deprive their new virtual analog synth of those functions we've already liked so much. Clavia sees A1 as an affordable product but even though adds new amusing sonic nuances.
The key goal was to recreate that analog signal charm you get with real voltage control and we can claim that Nord Lead A1 achieved this peculiar quiver: soft versatile sound and reverbs successfully imitating analog originals.
Lead 4 offers one ADSR envelope per amp and filter while A1 splits it in two making up ADR+ASR – a good move though quite a difference. But let's mention such strong points of A1 synthesis as increased polyphony, simultaneous delay and reverb as well as chorus, ensemble and flanger.
Besides the traditional set of analog waveforms Nord Lead A1 features extended analog ones, fixed pulse waves (since PWM is not available), bell and tine sounds, single-cycle digital waves, a few EP and Clavinets. As a bonus there is a selection of nine popular drawbar organ setting options.
Nord Lead 4 had a range of great sounding filters including Minimoog and Roland TB emulations. Although A1 is no way worse here and makes Clavia proud of its filter section which seems to deliver all the details of that grainy vintage feel.
A1 has a "Like" button which comes in handy for sure – it captures any running setting allowing to store up to 50 temporary edits. Later you can scroll through the "Like" buffer and save all the results you're satisfied with which is a really nice feature as we know what an elusive process sound programming is.
In Performance mode Nord A1 provides 4 simultaneous programs paying respect to keyboard splits and layers. Such function as Multi-Focus gives an opportunity to change parameters of all the programs at once in Performance mode. Thus with Multi-Focus you can control, for example, the attack stage of all the 4 parts of a layer which is truly helpful during live performing. Mutator function creates a new program automatically and accordingly with the current settings, while Randomize will write a program based on random ones.
Besides some of those disadvantages we've already mentioned above we should also note the lack of aftertouch and audio input (wich Lead 4 actually lacks too). Anyway A1 gives that familiar Nord sound and filter emulations at a lower price, well, it also supplies a 26-voice polyphony, more simultaneous effects and draws our attention to the core concept of Nord Lead A1 – its urgent system response and access to that ample sound space provided with unique "Like" function and Oscillator Configuration Shortcuts which unfold sound potential of the instrument.
Clavia had no intention to clash Nord Lead A1 and Nord Lead 4 on the race track: they definitely don't compete in subtractive synthesis. It's just that Lead A1 features presets capable of quality copying those retro analog voices as great as the neat and trim sound of modern Lead series units.

Q: Equivalent variational formula for eigenvalues First we define Rayleigh quotient as
$$R(u)=\frac{\int_M|\nabla u|^2 dV_g}{\int_M |u|^2d V_g}$$
We can deduce that the first nonzero eigenvalue of Laplacian operator is
$$\lambda_1=\inf\{R(u): \int_M u dV_g=0\}$$
Later I found that some people write it as
$$\lambda_1=\inf\{\sup\{R(u):u\in L\}:\dim L=2\}$$
Where $L$ is a subspace of $C^{\infty}(M)$. Here $M$ is a riemannian manifold, but I think it doesn't really matter in my question, or just think it as a compact domain in $R^n$.
My question: I guess they are equivalent, but it is not that obvious for me, can any one show some ideas how to prove the equivalence between these two definitions or show me some references about it?
Remark: After thinking, I have some ideas:
(1) if we can show that every 2-dimensional subspace $L_2$ of $C^{\infty}(M)$ contains a function $u$ with property $\int_M udV_g=0$, then in every $L_2$ subspace we have
$$\sup\{R(u):u\in L_2\}\geq R(u).$$
Naturally we can get "no less" inequality.
(2) For any $u$ with property $\int_M udV_g=0$, we can construct a $L_2$ subspace as $L_2=\{au+b\}$, then for any $v\in L_2$
$$R(v)=R(au+b)=\frac{\int_M a^2|\nabla u|^2dV_g}{\int_M a^2u^2+b^2 dV_g}=\frac{\int_M |\nabla u|^2dV_g}{\int_M u^2dV_g+b^2/a^2V(g) }\leq R(u).$$
From here can we get "no bigger" inequality?

As the countdown to the referendum begins its final phase the Remain campaign has seen further improvement in its position according to the latest ORB Poll for the The Telegraph.
While there is a growing majority preference among UK voters for Britain to remain in the EU, the risk for the Remain campaign as identified in previous ORB polls continues to be that Leave voters are more motivated to vote at this stage of the referendum campaign.
Watch: who is the typical 'In' or 'Out' voter?
However, the gap in motivation to turnout and vote between the two sides is closing. The latest ORB poll shows those who want the UK to remain in the EU are becoming more motivated to vote. This research shows that turnout overall is up three points (to 67 per cent).
This turnout jump is completely down to an increase in motivation among Remain voters – where 65% (up four points since the previous track) are now likely to cast a vote. Contrastingly, there has been no change in motivation among Leave voters, with 70 per cent saying that they are definite to vote on referendum day.
If a referendum was held today, Remain would secure 52 per cent of the vote, an increase of three points since the previous ORB poll, while Leave would secure 43 per cent of the vote, a decrease of five points since the previous poll. But this isn't solely down to an improvement in turnout among Remain voters.
The Remain campaign has also persuaded more voters of the case for staying in the EU. This can be seen by the fact that even without applying a likelihood to vote filter, support for the Remain campaign has improved by two points (to 53 per cent), while support for the Leave campaign has fallen by three points (to 41 per cent).
Greater voter contact from the Remain campaign and public perceptions of their performance could be directly related.
The proportion of those saying Remain is running the better campaign has increased by 5 points to 39 per cent while those saying the same of the Leave campaign has fallen by ten points to 25 per cent.
Equally, those saying they have heard the most from the Remain campaign has increased by 12 points to 44%, while those saying the same of the Leave campaign has again fallen by ten points to 25 per cent.
It is possible that these positive changes in campaign activity metrics have been driven by the booklet that the Government sent to every household in the UK.
It may also be a derivative effect of the contrast between David Cameron's demonstrated urgency and focus on the outcome, and infighting between various Leave factions over which campaign should receive the official designation.
Furthermore, the Leave campaign's vote is slightly softer (17 per cent soft) than the Remain campaign's vote (14 per cent soft). In other words, voters who are supporting Leave are slightly more likely to change their mind than those who are supporting Remain.
This is a further benefit for the Remain campaign who have seen the softness of their vote remain steady, while the Leave campaign's vote has gotten softer - from 14 per cent soft in the previous track to 17 per cent soft in this poll.
This presents a challenging set of circumstances for the Leave campaign. Not only have they lost some of the advantage from more Outers being motivated to turnout that was benefiting them, but the overall proportion of the British public who support the Leave case has also fallen.
As identified in recent ORB polls, British voters see the economic case as a strong argument for staying in the EU, but they also see the changes to the immigration system as a benefit of leaving. This remains the case in this poll.
But what this latest poll also shows is that while the Remain campaign are maximising the potential of the economic arguments, the same cannot be said of the Leave campaign and the immigration case.
This is simple to see. In public opinion research, it is possible to identify the 'pull' factors and the 'push' factors that will affect the referendum vote.
As the name suggests, 'pull' factors draw voters towards a case, while 'push' factors move them away. These are identified by the differences in the level of support for a particular outcome and voters' association of a particular policy with that outcome.
Taking the Remain campaign first, among the population as a whole 53 per cent of the population would vote to 'Remain', but 49 per cent think a vote to stay in the EU will create a stronger economy for the UK.
Watch: what happens on EU referendum polling day?
This shows there is broad alignment (within the margin of error) between those who would vote Remain (53 per cent) and those who think Remain creates a stronger economy (49%).
Currently 41 per cent of the British population would vote Leave. But 52 per cent of the British population say that leaving the EU would improve the UK's immigration system.
There is therefore a misalignment – this shows that there is at least 11 per cent of the British electorate who are not voting Leave despite believing it will improve that state of immigration in the UK. This demonstrates that for this section of the population, immigration is not important enough or relevant enough an issue at present to bring them around to voting for Leave.
This is what is known as a 'pull' factor – something that voters believe to be true or consider to be important but are currently acting in a way that will not secure its realisation.
If the Leave campaign can make the changes to the immigration system or advocate changes that would result from Brexit and so make them more important in voters' decision making, there is at up to 11 per cent of the population they can win over.
Push factors on the other hand, are those that drive support away. This is when voters do not believe something to be true but are acting in a way that will make it a reality. This can be seen by considering the Remain campaign.
Just over half (53 per cent) of the population are currently voting to Remain, yet less than half (44 per cent) believe that staying in the EU will create more jobs.
Again, this highlights a misalignment. At least 9 per cent of the British electorate are voting to Remain despite being unsure whether it will create jobs.
If job creation becomes more important in the electorate's vote choice, and the Remain campaign does not demonstrate how staying in the EU is best for job creation, there is the risk that some voters will be 'pushed' away from supporting Remain.
The more directly relevant the consequences of an event, the more important it becomes in individual's choice.
For both the Remain and Leave campaign, persuading voters of the merits of their case is not enough, they must also make the consequences of the referendum vote personally relevant to voters.

Q: java How to increase the number in elegant way I have a string type column which includes name of Region.
People can create regions at will.
For example, you can create an area called "Paris". But if the table already has "Paris", I entrusted spring to automatically save as "Paris2".
But the problem is that spring always save it as "Paris2". I think it just check only does Paris exists. Can you recommend what to do if you want to be saved as Paris3, Paris4 in elegant way?

THE PLAGUE
by Albert Camus ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 2, 1948
By the Frenchman who, with Sartre, shares a leading position in European literature, this is a work of considerable significance and stature, distinguished by its clarity, its composure, and above all, its scrupulous classicism. The story focuses on the outbreak of plague in Oran in the year 194-, as it reaches epidemic proportions. The author traces the crescendo of human emotions from panic to the almost unendurable agony of isolation and death. The argument extends beyond the physical impact of the plague into metaphysical terrain with the realization that each one of us carries within us the plague of injustice, of inhumanity...Distinguished by the precision, the purity of its writing, the dignity of its presentation. It may command critical rather than popular attention.

THE WINTER GUEST
by Pam Jenoff ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 26, 2014
An 18-year-old Polish girl falls in love, swoons over a first kiss, dreams of marriage—and, oh yes, we are in the middle of the Holocaust.
Jenoff (The Ambassador's Daughter, 2013, etc.) weaves a tale of fevered teenage love in a time of horrors in the early 1940s, as the Nazis invade Poland and herd Jews into ghettos and concentration camps. A prologue set in 2013, narrated by a resident of the Westchester Senior Center, provides an intriguing setup. A woman and a policeman visit the resident and ask if she came from a small Polish village. Their purpose is unclear until they mention bones recently found there: "And we think you might know something about them." The book proceeds in the third person, told from the points of view mostly of teenage Helena, who comes upon an injured young Jewish-American soldier, and sometimes of her twin, Ruth, who is not as adventurous as Helena but is very competitive with her. Their father is dead, their mother is dying in a hospital, and they are raising their three younger siblings amid danger and hardship. The romance between Helena and Sam, the soldier, is often conveyed in overheated language that doesn't sit well with the era's tragic events: "There had been an intensity to his embrace that said he was barely able to contain himself, that he also wanted more." Jenoff, clearly on the side of tolerance, slips in a simplified historical framework for the uninformed. But she also feeds stereotypes, having Helena note that Sam has "a slight arch to his nose" and a dark complexion that "would make him suspect as a Jew immediately." Clichés also pop up during the increasingly complex plot: "But even if they stood in place, the world around them would not."

THE LOST GIRLS OF PARIS
THE ORPHAN'S TALE
by Donna Tartt ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 16, 1992
The Brat Pack meets The Bacchae in this precious, way-too-long, and utterly unsuspenseful town-and-gown murder tale. A bunch of ever-so-mandarin college kids in a small Vermont school are the eager epigones of an aloof classics professor, and in their exclusivity and snobbishness and eagerness to please their teacher, they are moved to try to enact Dionysian frenzies in the woods. During the only one that actually comes off, a local farmer happens upon them—and they kill him. But the death isn't ruled a murder—and might never have been if one of the gang—a cadging sybarite named Bunny Corcoran—hadn't shown signs of cracking under the secret's weight. And so he too is dispatched. The narrator, a blank-slate Californian named Richard Pepen chronicles the coverup. But if you're thinking remorse-drama, conscience masque, or even semi-trashy who'll-break-first? page-turner, forget it: This is a straight gee-whiz, first-to-have-ever-noticed college novel—"Hampden College, as a body, was always strangely prone to hysteria. Whether from isolation, malice, or simple boredom, people there were far more credulous and excitable than educated people are generally thought to be, and this hermetic, overheated atmosphere made it a thriving black petri dish of melodrama and distortion." First-novelist Tartt goes muzzy when she has to describe human confrontations (the murder, or sex, or even the ping-ponging of fear), and is much more comfortable in transcribing aimless dorm-room paranoia or the TV shows that the malefactors anesthetize themselves with as fate ticks down. By telegraphing the murders, Tartt wants us to be continually horrified at these kids—while inviting us to semi-enjoy their manneristic fetishes and refined tastes. This ersatz-Fitzgerald mix of moralizing and mirror-looking (Jay McInerney shook and poured the shaker first) is very 80's—and in Tartt's strenuous version already seems dated, formulaic. Les Nerds du Mal—and about as deep (if not nearly as involving) as a TV movie.

Ivanka Trump at the RNC: Great speech and great fashion
Posted: July 22, 2016 - 9:26 AM
Elizabeth Wellington | @ewellingtonphl | ewellington@inquirer.com
Ivanka Trump was a hit at the Republican National Convention Thursday night with a fantastic pro-woman speech introducing her dad.
She promised to help fight for equal pay and shatter the glass ceiling. As a working woman, these messages spoke to me. That's surprising coming from a party that is usually in opposition to my political views.
Trump relayed this message beautifully, not just through her excellent speech, but through her look as well. She was styled perfectly, from her (probably) Keratin-ed hair, appled-cheeks and a smooth (Botox'd?) forehead. But the best part of this look was the total affordability of her ensemble.
Trump, 34, appeared absolutely divine in a sleeveless, blush-hued sheath courtesy of her own Ivanka Trump label. And, drumroll please, according to Women's Wear Daily, it was just $138. Not only did she wear something that any woman could buy, she also promoted herself and her brand at the same time.
Trump's decision to wear a piece from her eponymous label to introduce her dad was not only a fashion win, it was a strategic move; it's clear from her speech that her role was to warm up to women voters, many of whom have felt put off by her father's comments. Even I - a liberal Democrat to my core - felt like I maybe, just maybe, I might have something in common with Ivanka. In fact, I tried logging onto her website to check out her line, but the site kept crashing. (Something tells me that dress is sold out already.)

Trump wore another Ivanka Trump design earlier this week at the RNC. On Wednesday she chose a dainty, skater-style frock that cost only $158.
By contrast, Fox News' Megyn Kelly, who took much of the brunt of Trump's misogyny during the primary, was slammed for her shoulder-baring, low-neckline dress.
It's also worth nothing that Melania Trump, who made an angelic showing during Monday night's raucous RNC events, has a thing for flouncy sleeves. On Thursday, according to WWD, Melania went with a Fendi that was nearly a carbon copy of Monday's Roksanda. One thing we know for sure about Melania Trump, she's consistent with her look.

Brussells: Effective and well enforced market surveillance is key to catching companies who don't play by the rules.
The reputable toy sector takes great care to comply with the strict EU toy safety rules and standards. We believe that a toy should only be described as safe for children to play with if it can withstand rigorous safety testing and meet the highest international standards.
The number of notifications for toys has continued to decrease this year (down by 2.6%). Despite this, toys remain the most notified category on the Rapid Alert System (26% of all notifications). 96% of notifications relate to companies outside TIE's membership. Those few notifications that did concern members of TIE or its national association members, were dealt with promptly and effectively.
The number of notifications does not mean that toys are unsafe for children however. This is the result of stricter product safety rules and standards, as well as more frequent and effective scrutiny and controls. If all consumer products enjoyed the same level of scrutiny, we would see a comparable number of notifications for other categories.
Consumers also have a role in helping children to enjoy safe play. This includes, for instance, only buying toys from trustworthy retailers, or keeping an eye out for counterfeit toys and reporting any problems to the manufacturer. If you want to find out more ways of how they can help children have the best play experience watch our video of top tips here.


This body of work is made with various clay bodies and minimal glazing. As a whole, the group demonstrates the contrasting clays available in Japan. Individually, each piece can be seen as an object for the home, carefully crafted to bring joy to the person using it and elevate their mundane, daily experiences.
Across cultures we can see huge differences in the celebration of the individual versus the celebration of the collective, and in Onishi I've experienced the benefits of both attitudes. The body of work I've made here can be viewed up close and intimately with one piece, or with a step back to see the flow of the whole group.

Larc de Janus, en llatí Ianus Quirinus, és un antic arc quàdruple romà que es troba a la ciutat de Roma, concretament al Forum Boarium, molt a prop de l'Arc dels Argentaris. És un dels escassos arcs romans que es conserven a Roma.

Context
Janus, el déu romà de dues cares, era també el déu de les portes, el que les obria (Patulcus) i les tancava (Clusius) i el que protegia l'entrada i la sortida, l'anada i el retorn; però el paper que, des d'aquest punt de vista, desenvolupava en la vida militar de Roma i la solemnitat amb la qual eren obertes les portes del seu santuari en oferir-se l'ocasió per això, van fer que als ulls dels romans passés per ser el déu de la guerra. I no tan sols presidia a les portes privades i públiques i a les carreteres per les quals se'n sortia i arribava al terme, sinó també a tota classe de portes, reals o ideals, a totes les vies i a tots els accessos. Així mateix era adorat com a déu dels ports, Portunus, i per això posseïa un port a la vora del Tíber, prop del pons Aemilius. Des de l'època de l'emperador Domicià, Janus es representava de vegades amb quatre cares, i prenia el nom de Janus Quadrifrons.

Descripció
L'arc de Janus no es pot considerar pròpiament un arc triomfal, sinó més aviat la seua funció seria d'indicar un dels límits del Forum Boarium. Per les anàlisis dutes a terme, l'arc possiblement es va construir a principis del  substituint-ne probablement a un altre que hi havia construït en el mateix lloc.

És un arc quàdruple de planta quadrada (12 m ample i 16 m d'alçada) construït amb maons i cobert de marbre. L'estructura presenta una sèrie d'interessants nínxols. Les mitjanes de dites cúpules tenen forma de conquilla, i en l'antiguitat presentaven unes petites columnates que van ser arrancades a l'edat mitjana. En aquesta època, concretament al , es va construir una fortalesa a la part superior d'aquest arc. De fet, a la base sud-est de l'arc hi ha una porta que condueix als nivells superiors. Coronant l'arc hi devia haver un àtic, existint la possibilitat que l'edifici estiguera rematat per una piràmide. Fragments de la inscripció original es poden veure a la propera església de San Giorgio al Velabro.

Q: Angular 8 ngStyle sometimes does not work inside a loop I have the following code in Angular 8.
<mat-grid-list cols="5" rowHeight="16:9" gutterSize="1%">
    <mat-grid-tile *ngFor="let m of media; index as i">

    </mat-grid-tile>
</mat-grid-list>

For some strange and unknown reason, it does not add background-image style in some of the elements generated in the loop. m.thumbnail is a valid URL and available for each element of the media object.
This is how it looks (background image missing):

This is how the generated code looks like:

You can see in the image above that background-image style is missing for the second element.
Why is it happening like this? Where is the problem?

A: It turns out some of the URLs have parentheses (... Fitness%20(10).JPG ...). So, when when I use the style 'background-image': 'url(__the_url__)', it breaks because of the parentheses. It looks like Angular might be validating the styles before it adds to the element. As these rules don't validate due to the parentheses, those are not added to the elements.
So, I wrapped the URLs in single quotes to make it a string literal so that the parentheses won't create an issue and it will work properly. And it worked.
{'background-image': 'url(\'' + m.thumbnail + '\')'}

What Most people are Saying About Peruvian Women Is Useless Wrong And Why
The 21-year-old Peruvian surfer can add representing Peru within the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima to her resume. She additionally just received the top spot on the Rincón Surf Fest in Puerto Rico for the second time in a row. We wish to give a big thank you to those girls which have paved the way in which for future generations of ladies to return.
Most well being services "are at present primarily centered on COVID care," says Guerra Romero. Peru has one of the highest death rates per capita in the world from the coronavirus — ninety.87 deaths per a hundred peruvian beauty standards,000 inhabitants as of Sept. 3, in accordance with knowledge from Johns Hopkins University. "So many health companies, even sexual and reproductive health companies, in follow have been neglected," she says.
A common problem that lots of the women shared experiences of was racism. Whether in England or in the United States, the Peruvian women I hosted had experienced some stage of racism.
Rates of obesity have been leveling off in some extremely industrialized societies, but charges of weight problems stay high in the creating world (2–4).
Consequently, it is attainable to fulfill different females there, and heaps of of them is not going to be submissive.
She also simply received the highest spot at the Rincón Surf Fest in Puerto Rico for the second time in a row.
The problem is to strengthen main health care in maternal and neonatal services, with an emphasis on the prevention of chronic NCDs, particularly in younger rural women.
SheCodes provides a strong introduction to product development, product design and product administration.
Peru is a really protected nation for vacationers to go to as it shares the same safety advisory rating as countries like France and the United Kingdom. Citizens of the US, Canada, Mexico, and favorable nations in the European Union do not require a Visa to visit Peru. Still, it's better to verify together with your county's consulate for the latest info before making any journey to Peru. The obscurity surrounding abortion led Fátima Guevara, when she faced an unwanted being pregnant at the age of 19, to resolve to use Misoprostol, a safe treatment that's included within the strategies accepted by the World Health Organization for the termination of pregnancies. Today, at the age of 26, she reflects on the importance of ladies being assured the situations to freely determine whether they wish to be mothers or not.
Helping The others Know The Advantages Of Peruvian Women
Photo of two Peruvian girls resting beside their horses on the way in which to the Rainbow Mountain in Cusco, Peru. If you have to go back and make any changes, you'll be able to always do so by going to our Privacy Policy web page. C "No delivering" means that ladies do not have a baby youthful than 5 years to report a natural ship or a C-section.
Cuadros, whose dad and mom are each physicians and who lives in a middle-class family, mentioned she by no means imagined that her life would end up so in one other way than what she had deliberate. Gutiérrez mentioned that one other of the major impacts is the criminalization of women who bear abortions, due to mistreatment by well being personnel who not solely decide and blame them, but in addition report them to the police. Gutiérrez explained that the cases attended are just the tip of the iceberg, as a outcome of for each abortion difficult by hemorrhage or infection treated at a health heart, no much less than seven have been performed that did not current difficulties. We have already talked about different areas; sports activities could not be left out.Sofia Mulanovich, a well-known Peruvian surfer, turned the very best consultant of Peruvian surfing at the worldwide stage in 2004 after profitable the skilled browsing circuit . That same yr she additionally gained the individual ISA title, an achievement he was in a position to repeat the next 12 months.
Using Your Hot Peruvian Women To Create More Money
Being conservative and religious, Peruvian women are really best wives, to not mention they're devoted companions. This is confirmed as a result of Peru is doubtless one of the nations with the bottom divorce rates. This makes them much more appealing to Western guys thinking about family building. In the final years, breast cancer mortality has skilled downward trends in all Latin American nations ; nevertheless, breast cancer continues to be one of the neoplasms with the best mortality in Latin America . Between 1980 and 2010, the best mortality charges were in Argentina and Uruguay (around 20 deaths per 100,000 women-years), whereas the lowest charges were in Colombia, Mexico, and Ecuador (around 10 per one hundred,000 women-years) . If your dream is a contented family the place a spouse is the one who takes care of the children and cooks dinner, then you must meet Peruvian ladies to choose one.
Our research confirmed steady pattern in breast most cancers mortality in Peru over the past twenty years, however with variations across its areas. The coastal area showed the highest mortality rates in the analysed period, whereas the highlands region, despite having the bottom rates, experienced an upward pattern. In the 2003–2017 interval, we estimated 20,541 cumulative deaths from breast cancer in Peruvian ladies. The common mortality price (per one hundred,000 women-years) over 15 years was of 9.ninety seven, in Peru.
Such a spouse won't ever allow you to down, stay loyal, and assist you in whatever you're going through. Family is extraordinarily necessary to rural women because they were raised in a conventional way. The thing is that they have to struggle to improve their lives in their place of birth, and a very low variety of females manage to get a great training and make a great career.
Thus, you need to never attempt doing that as a result of it must offend your soulmate from Peru. In this country, when a male pays for a feminine, it's a sign that he's able to construct a serious relationship.
That is why it is suggested to take a few Spanish lessons before you travel to the nation. Although Peru was a Latin-American nation, will in all probability be a mistake to assume Peruvian women could be like additional Latin-American ladies, such as Brazilian women, Venezuelan brides, Mexican women, or Colombian women. Helping girls to secure sustainable incomes will give them monetary independence and a stronger position in the household, private confidence, increase the family's wealth and profit members of the wider communities. Educated and empowered women will train and encourage others, which can add to the growing consciousness of girls's rights and contribute to altering expectations of ladies.

From Indian Lakes have been quietly bubbling away for a few years. Now's their time to breakthrough.
These Californian indie-rock chaps have been quietly perfecting their even quieter style for over half a decade, but if new album 'Absent Sounds' is your first encounter, then be prepared to bathe in a sea of timeless and tender folk-tinged tranquillity. Their first release since signing with Triple Crown continues the formula forged on 2012's 'Able Bodies' in being mellow and comforting without getting dull. Standout 'Sleeping Limbs' drifts in and out of melancholy, with vocalist Joey Vannucchi's captivating and swirly melodies, while 'Ghost' transports you to the heavens with its warming organ drone and lingering refrain. Nobody does dreamy indie patter quite like this.

Need to trap and remove fruit flies?
The warm days of summer, when fruits and vegetables are fresh and readily available are a true pleasure– the nasty little fruit flies that swarm in with the heat and seasonal produce are anything but. Fruit flies are the kind of pest you ignore for a couple days, swatting at them when they appear in the kitchen, only to realize you have a true infestation on your hands. They come up out of the drain, swarm around the fruit bowl, and crawl all along your walls and windows.
Buy a commercial, ready-made fruit fly trap and set it out in your kitchen.
Make your own trap out of household ingredients and supplies.
Give into the spirit of the lazy days of summer and wait for them to disappear.
I got an urgent fruit flies problem to solve!
Apple cider vinegar is one of the most popular ingredients for killing off fruit flies in your kitchen. Take a bottle of apple cider vinegar (even if it is mostly empty, according to Good Housekeeping and rubber band a piece of plastic wrap around the opening to secure the top. Poke holes in the plastic wrap so the fruit flies can go in but cannot exit the bottle. They should drown inside the vinegar.
If you don't use plastic wrap you can add a little dish soap to the mixture; the soap will hold down the flies and drown them. The only downside to this method is sometimes the flies do not get around to the bottle or they manage to escape through the holes in the plastic wrap. Plus, apple cider vinegar can get a little smelly in the heat.

If you don't keep apple cider vinegar on hand you can try a similar method with red wine. Just keep a nearly empty bottle uncorked and the flies should go in without being able to escape back up the long bottle neck. Some people have a lot of success with a milk, sugar, and pepper mixture like the one cooked up by the household experts at Everyday Roots.
If the fruit flies are so fond of the fruit rotting in your kitchen, maybe you should let them have at it. The trick is to create a trap where the flies try to get at the fruit but are unable to escape. Take a piece of turned fruit and place it in the bottom of a wide-mouth jar. Using a piece of paper, make a cone with a bottom hole about an inch wide. The pests should fly right into the fruit fly trap without being able to escape. Careful when you clean this one up, however, so that any flies still alive do not escape back into your kitchen.
DIY fruit fly trap doesn't work? Get a pest control professional!
Keep a clean kitchen with no residue left over from rotting fruit or dirty dishes in the sink, according to Moyer Indoor and Outdoor Pest.
Throw away any fruits and vegetables as soon as they start to turn.
Sanitize trash cans each time the garbage is taken out.
Treat your drains with either ammonia or bleach (but not both together!) by letting a cleaning solution sit in the drain or garbage disposal for about a half hour before rinsing.
You can also use a spray made of essential oils to keep fruit flies off your counters and walls. Lemongrass, for instance, is a natural fruit fly repellent that smells great to humans when used as a kitchen cleaner. Use a homemade lemongrass mixture in a spray bottle to wipe down kitchen surfaces and hopefully the fruit flies will stay away from places where you cook while the traps do their work.
Fruit flies may be inevitable but they don't have to take over your kitchen whenever it is warm. Whether you purchase a trap from the store or drown the little pests with a homemade setup, address your fruit fly problem sooner than later– and take the proper preventative measures– to make your summer months a little more enjoyable and a little less pesky.


And a villain from the Star Wars Expanded universe is being restored to canon.
He's baaaack! Star Wars fans were left with a lot of reasons to be angry after the Expanded Universe was scrapped for Disney to start from scratch (you can't blame them for not wanting to have to adhere to decades worth of novels, video games, and comics), but chief among them was the disappearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn, a villain created by Timothy Zahn in the novel Heir to the Empire.
He took over the Empire following the events of the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi, but this version will be making his presence felt in the years covered by Star Wars Rebels. His return is no doubt going to add some weight to theories that he may Supreme Leader Snoke, but regardless of whether or not that's the case, his return is great news. It was also confirmed that Star Wars: Thrawn is being written by Timothy Zahn (which will reintroduce him to canon when it goes on sale in April).
The Season 3 preview trailer has been uploaded to YouTube.

Q: MATLAB save all variables separately My current workspace contains 32 variable sequentially named. Each variable is an array of doubles with different lengths. I want to save each of them as a separate .mat file such that name of each file is same as the name of the variable. I could not find any help on google or a previously asked question in SE. Help needed urgently.
Note: I need to associate this data with some other text file that I have for each variable separately. So saving in a single file as a struct is not what I am looking for and the name of the variable should be the name of the file. Thanks.

A: I figured it out myself.
This simple code below does the trick. Thanks for trying if anyone did.
vars=who;
for i=1:length(vars)
save(vars{i},vars{i})
end


This elegant coin is so attractive, you'll want to put it in a pouch to protect it.
The face depicts a table in front of a silver mirror. On top of that table is a candle, hourglass, and Bible. Atop the Bible is a skull. Those who have attended the degree (order) will find this all too familiar.
