Q: Hardy Littlewood constants for prime constellations Are the ratios of Hardy Littlewood constants for prime constellations already well understood? If so, can you please point me to a relevant paper(s)?
I came upon an Euler-inspired formula that yields the ratios of Hardy Littlewood constants for prime constellations (consistently for the ratios I've checked based on lists of published constants), using the number of elements in the constellations one is comparing and the prime factors of the pair wise differences between the elements (the absolute differences between elements are irrelevant). But I don't know whether it's a significant finding; perhaps this is well-trodden ground already. The connection isn't random; I bothered to check because intuition told me there was a connection.
For example, the H-L constants for constellations (0,2,6,8) and (0,4,6,10) are 4.15... and 8.30..., respectively (not intuitive that the ratio should be 1/2).
If this is novel territory, I'm happy to share more. I haven't yet found any published work on this specific topic that I recognize as such (due to my math illiteracy).

Question of the Day: When Did Ignoring Terrorism Become A Victory?
Today's the one-year anniversary of the most recent terrorist attacks in Paris, including the Bataclan music venue. In that assault, the gunmen began the slaughter unopposed; not one audience member amongst the approximately 1500 ticket holders was armed in their own own defense. It took armed French police two hours and forty minutes to end the incident. But not before the Islamic terrorists murdered 89 concert goers and injured over 200 more, some grievously.
"Sarah Marrer, 18, from Lille, said it was important to 'show that we're not afraid'," theguardian.com reports from the memorial concert marking the anniversary of the Bataclan bloodbath.. "'I think it's important that every French person and everyone can come here and enjoy and show that it's not over.'" And I think it's important that we learn from our mistakes.
Gathering large numbers of people in a relatively small space without anyone having any effective means of self-defense — save running or playing dead — is an open invitation to those who want to kill us en masse. Instead of celebrating the fact that "we're still here," that "we're not going to let terrorists spoil our fun," we should be tooling-up and declaring "never again." Never again will you find us easy prey. If you try and kill us we will kill you — as quickly as possible.
When did the idea that simply "carrying on" after terrorist carnage represents some kind of moral victory take root? What will it take to wake-up America to the danger we face — and eliminate the insanity of "gun free zones"? If Sandy Hook, Bataclan and the Pulse nightclub didn't do it, what will? Take a minute to think about that, if you dare.
Gov. William J Le Petomane says:
Reality is a hard thing for some people to accept. Some never will.
The reality is, if I am there, it's not a gun free zone. 🙂 Either I don't go, or I carry on anyway.
Alinsky says:
Muslims in Europe are out-breeding everyone else by 3 to 4 times.
Sharia Law is coming within a decade or two.
Southern Cross says:
I would say 2+ generations before you see local Muslim majorities enough to alter local politics.
But the "population bomb" was how the Muslims became the majority in Lebanon from the 1960s to the 2000s.
Reggie Browning says:
I don't know. I'm conflicted on this issue myself. On the one hand, I don't think building memorials and monuments to terrorist attacks and allowing them to define a nation is a good idea. On the other hand you have to learn from the past too. I think sensible precautions without making a big deal out of it are possible.
What I don't get though is how people see the total failure of gun control and still somehow justify it by saying something like "Would it have been different if ISIS was targeting the U.S.?" or…. just completely side stepping it with "Guns make it so much easier. Yes the guy in Nice used a truck but he had to know how to drive that kind of truck." trying to figure out why they won't knowledge colossal failures of gun control very confusing.
Chris Mallory says:
It happened in France, it is no business of the US government or the American tax payer. Let the French remember it and do something about it. Close our borders and start expelling anyone whose ancestors were not here in 1800. Bingo, no more threat of terrorism to real Americans.
Red in CO says:
Yeah, that's a great idea. Because, you know, anyone who hasn't been here for generations is obviously a terrorist who only wants to kill Americans. You're an idiot, and a despicable piece of shit to boot. Do you have any idea how much immigrants have helped this country? Shit, that is EXACTLY why America has historically been such a great nation, is that we were able to take bits and pieces from all kinds of different cultures, forging a nation that had a backbone of rugged individualism and work ethic, surrounded by little pieces of all kinds of cultures. And you would toss all of that out the window just to reduce the (massively overblown) threat of Islamic terrorism? Christ, I don't even know what to say to that….
Oh, and for what it's worth, I'm of European descent and my own ancestors have been here since before America was a country.
Mk10108 says:
"EXACTLY why America has historically been such a great nation, is that we were able to take bits and pieces from all kinds of different cultures, forging a nation that had a backbone of rugged individualism and work ethic, surrounded by little pieces of all kinds of cultures."
Agreed with your overall concept of immigration, trouble is you and most of America views immigration through the tinted lens and culture of democracy. Which is not a bad thing except and America doesn't understand the mind of a Muslim. There is no separation of church and state and listening to the call to prayers at 5:30 every morning blaring across your town gets old quick.
Mexicans don't want to be American, they just want to work except what Americans don't know is walk into your grocery store and 30 percent of EVERYTHING in it was touched by an illegal immigrant. Every pallet, box, pouch, bag, carton, cup, ink, graphic and product at one point was touched, handled, transported, and delivered by an illegal. And that is just the legal stuff. Drop in an Emergency room on a weekend, that 50% increase in premiums goes towards medical for illegals. You don't need a study to determine if illegals exist in your town, just scan your radio stations if 1/3 are Spanish language, you have illegals.
Every modern society must have immigrants in order to survive and why legal immigration is necessary. Illegal immigration used as cheap labor and Democrat votes is not a way to good governance.
My career is in packaging and I witness what I wrote every day.
Geoff PR says:
Trump is doing an interview tonight on '60 minuets' (I *think*) where he lays out his deportation criteria.
If you are an "Undocumented (Non) American" and you commit a crime in America (gangs, drugs, etc) you can expect to be deported.
Trump estimates that number to be about 3 million.
Trump has (not much of) a problem with those here to work and not commit crimes.
In my personal opinion, we *must* have at LEAST some type of 'guest worker' program. Come to America. Identify yourself. Work, pay taxes and then send your money home to your family in your home country.
But we *must* have a way to identify who is in America…
EDIT – We can do this without breaking up families. If you are slated for deportation, we will be happy to deport your family with you.
Here's the thing – I seriously doubt many will take up our offer on that. It's that much better in America than down south…
Mack Bolan says:
Here's the thing Red, Immigration into the US was limited until 1965, and before that further limited to White Europeans, 98% of who were Christian.
Mexican immigration, Muslim immigration African, Somali, Cuban, etc have had no economic,cultural or societal benefit to the Untied States. Quite the contrary. Unchecked immigration has created Micro Nations in this country, which all are seeking their own power further eroding the fragile republic.
The only thing that made European immigration work, was the fact that Europeans were easily assimilated. Assimilation means immigrants no longer, look, talk, have religious affiliations, or maintain any semblance of their native culture. Essentially they become indiscernible from the native population. . For European immigrants this was an easy process.
Moving here, working here and doing a shitty job of parroting American Culture, is not assimilating.
tjlarson2k says:
"Real Americans"? Surely you mean the Native Americans.
Native Americans? Oh, you must be referring to the original Asian immigrants.
… who emigrated from Africa. See I can play this game too.
*I* am a native American, I was born in South Carolina. Find a different stupid term.
A Hill says:
Sorry, Ralph you are falling behind. The Bering Strait Land Bridge theory is probably only responsible for some immigration (primarily west coast tribes). Artifacts at the Page-Ladson site in Florida have turned up tools and bones that are dated to at a minimum 1500 years BEFORE the Bering migration and are from a time period when the Bering strait was ice free.
SouthAl says:
1800's sounds arbitrary. Set the date as October 1492, or better yet, the 11th century to coincide with Erickson's arrival.
Red's 3rd sentence above is a good summary.
MarkPA says:
OK, so, all my ancestors immigrated before your cut-off of 1900. So, I'm good. My wife immigrated (on a spousal visa) in 1972; she's out. My children are 1'st-generation on one-side/outside-your-cut-off on the other side. So, how do we apply your rule to my family?
We have a problem; many problems. There are no simplistic solutions. What we do know is that our Elite Establishment's solutions are mostly counter-productive.
Let's concentrate on rolling-back the counterproductive "solutions" rather than imagining that some simplistic solution we might dream-up is a panacia.
Hasdrubal says:
Guess it's time for an anecdote… My ancestry is half Chinese and half Japanese (traditionally, I'm supposed to hate myself). Father's half came over in the 1920s, and my grandfather on that side left high school to enlist in the Navy for the duration of the emergency (WW2, it was in all the papers). Mother's half came over after the war, but while my grandfather on that side was an officer in the Japanese Army, his two sons enlisted, one in the US Army, and one in the US Air Force.
My dad missed Vietnam, because he was starting a career in military aerospace. He's worked on stealth projects most of his professional life, but the only ones I know about that are declassified are Tacit Blue and the B2 bomber. He also worked on the X-32 and Future Combat Systems, but they weren't put into production, and probably a lot more that I'll never get to hear about.
I didn't finish college, mostly because I couldn't stand calculus and didn't want to bother with a soft major, but also because there was a war on, so I enlisted as infantry, made it through US Army sniper school, and spent fifteen months deployed to Iraq. I left the Army to become a cop, and got a collateral assignment on the bomb squad.
Now tell me, which part of that is worthy of deportation? Which part makes me any less American than some Ivy League student from a rich old family, still huddled in a safe space on campus because they can't handle the election results, crying about how now we'll never embrace our fair share of Syrian refugees? Despite my ancestry, I don't even speak any language besides English.
America is an idea as much as it is a set of lines on a map. Immigrants used to come here to embrace the idea, and to become Americans themselves. If we can bring that spirit back, a lot of our problems will be solved.
JAlan says:
Depends on your approach. The "never again" attitude is what blinded us to the abuses of the government following 9/11, giving them unconstitutional powers and setting us up for a police state. I think it's important to realize that while you should be armed, getting paranoid over it, or letting it define your life or how you live is counter-productive. The terrorists cannot win if they fail to terrorize you.
I don't give a rat's hat what the Frogs do. They're going to get what they deserve.
I'm only concerned about what we do, and if that's left up to the soccer moms and special snowflakes of America, we'll make the French look brave.
Darwinism and natural selection at work. Those that refuse to see reality for what it is and tool up will lower their odds of surviving a terrorist attack or crazy mass shooter.
Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice…

2008. It'll probably end about 2017. |3
Feeling safe vs. being safe.
Not a hard concept for those that are willing to put aside feelings and do what is right.
And to do what's right, you sometimes have to make personal sacrifices.
IYearn4nARnCali says:
When we started hearing, seeing, and reading propaganda in lieu of information, when discussion was overthrown for entertainment, when tomorrow was more important than today, when terrorism abroad, the cornerstone of US foreign policy for the last hundred years was made truly legal to operate at home, and not backroom hushed tone legal as it had been; when our government stopped pretending to care about you, about me, and about the children of this nation is when ignoring the tactic of terrorism became a victory.
The Jihad factories in Europe are communities of immigrants, legal/illegal, who aren't interested in assimilating into their host countries society, just like so many here in the US. The difference being, the religion of choice for these immigrants is one of "peace", with the obligation to kill non-believers, murder your female family members for slights to the teachings of the prophet (being seen with a male non-family member), and the religion of immigrants in the US is a religion of devout knee abuse with the constant sitting and kneeling and sitting again and then back to kneeling. Nary a phrase is spoken in the Christian/Catholic liturgy about killing your daughters for being seen publicly with a male who they aren't related to, nor does it authorize all good followers to kill non-Christians.
The youth of the jihad factories don't feel connected to their host countries society, and it drives them to resent the entire Western system, with the addition of some Muslim organizations that are looking for impressionable youth with a penchant for resentment and payback, you get the fostering of radicalization. The perfect societal powder keg waiting for a jihadist flame to ignite.
While here in the US, immigrant youth have a multilingual parallel society that connects them, a non English speaking overlay of English speaking American society. This connection reduces the harsher fallout from societal resentment. The worst aspect of immigration though is the drug fueled cartel monkeys, who operate without pause. Time will tell if the next 4 years sees Trump ending the cozy relationship our elites have with illegal drug cartels, and with some luck the perfectly legal ones as well. Just my 2 cents.
The most dangerous 'Jihad factories' seem to be second-generation immigrants to the West.
The kid of a perfectly fine non-radical immigrant suddenly gets devout…
You hit the nail on the head brotha, as you always do :), yet those 2nd gen immigrants who rise up in their self-righteousness are usually not from places outside of the middle east; there's a connecting tissue among these attacks.
We have to always remember the long hand of controlling power in fostering unsupported change by way of false flag attacks that are nearly always preceded by terrorist attack training scenarios. So many people who fall through so many incredulously large cracks in the system cannot be explained by simple incompetence, or negligence, or even outright stupidity. There is an agenda, a narrative that plays out to suit the needs of power in a manner that makes their wanted changes to us, our lives, our society, our rights, palatable to us; this very tactic gets us into wars, drums up animosity against enemy nations on pretexts, keeps us in Orwellian fear of the other, and constantly fractures us from a single people to a million islands.
All our hope, the hopes of gun culture follow along with President Trump. Should he turn back to the more Liberal slant that he once displayed, we will still be in a better position with the loss of Dem seats and the increase of Republican ones. Optimism now, but vigilance as always prevails; we only get a lightening in the weight we carry.
WE just quit ignoring terrorism…the Muslim in chief will be gone soon and MAYBE PC will take a break. I don't care a whit what France does. No plans for Paris or Nice…and I hope they vet the hell outa' moose-lim "immigrants".
Rusty Chains says:
The French will likely do what the French do best, surrender. They will pay the Sharia tax to be a Christian in their own nation within thirty years since they are unable to recognize the danger they face and will continue to allow themselves to be overrun.
Michael in GA says:
About the same time as ignoring a pedophilia ring in the Federal government.
#podestaspizza
Captain O says:
These are the same idiots that think controlling guns will stop crime. If we insist on vetting each person from any suspected area and do it well it would be a nice start. If we expel every illegal with a felony record, That will be even better. If we begin executing the felons that commit capital offenses with only one review (e.g."streamlining" the appeals process) our nation will be better off. We need to quit screwing around with our national security and get right down to the heart of the matter.
I don't give a damn who doesn't like it. As a Navy Veteran from the Vietnam era, I have seen enough to make judgments that most can't seem to manage. As a matter of human error, some people that should be permitted to enter our nation, won't. Too bad. Life goes on.
My nation comes first.
Jonathan - Houston says:
ALL illegals should be deported, not just those with a felony. (Pssst….being in the country illegally, after previously having been deported for being in the country illegally, IS a felony.) Otherwise, you're not enforcing the law; you're just selectively acting where and when you want. Set that precedent, and then all planning and policymaking goes out the window. After all, you yourself just admitted that the law is essentially voluntary and ad hoc on both the criminals' and government's part.
I rather wish the US Government ignored terrorism, because Patriot Act.
Stoic says:
There is no question that we need to make our society a harder target, and the best, cheapest, and most Constitutional way to do that is to allow more people to be armed in more places.
But…the objective of terrorists — of any flavor — is to effect political and social change in our society by terrorizing us. If we refuse to be terrorized, we defeat their primary weapon, and their primary tool to control us.
Note that the terrorists want us to be terrorized to make us change our society, the media wants us to be terrorized so we will watch them and they can sell more ads, and the government wants us terrorized so they can "protect" us in ways that increase their power and decrease our freedom.
All in all, I'm not sure "ignoring the terrorists" isn't the right approach.
This attitude isn't new. Looking back just in my lifetime, and admittedly some of these happened before I was old enough to really pay attention to politics-
First World Trade Center bombing, 1993
Khobar Towers bombing, 1996
TWA flight 800, 1996 (farthest I'll get into tinfoil territory)
Embassy bombings, 1998
USS Cole bombing, 2000
The attitude on the left tends to be 'nothing to see here, it's a law enforcement issue, no reason to worry it might happen again even though we said that after the last time and it just happened again.' So we spend sometimes years building a criminal case against a few members of a terrorist organization, leaving the structure and the threat untouched.
Say what you will about the so called War on Terror, and I could say a lot about how I think they screwed up large parts of it, but we certainly succeeded in tearing down the structure of the international terrorist community. Since then, the only way they can reach us here in the US is by inspiring lone wolf nutjobs who already live here.

"The Culinary Crescent: A History of Middle Eastern Cuisine" by Peter Heine
The Culinary Crescent: A History of Middle Eastern Cuisine, Peter Heine, Peter Lewis (Trans) (Gingko Library, November 2018)
There's a rather ungrammatical saying which goes "sometimes I eats to live, but mostly I lives to eat." That's why we have cookery books; we love to eat and we love the things that go along with eating, namely social interaction and sheer sensual pleasure.
Food can also put us in touch with other cultures without our having to leave home and brave the unpleasantness of modern air travel. We in rich countries understand food not as a privilege, but the nearest thing we have, along with shelter, to a basic right, and when people are deprived of it through poverty, misgovernment or famine we respond, or should, with such things as soup kitchens (which seem, as Peter Heine tells us, to have originated in the Middle East) or food aid.
Food is, after all, one of the common threads which bind all human beings together, and a prolonged lack of it can do serious damage to our humanity. Food represents hospitality, too; in some cultures (notably Arab), one is required, by the unwritten laws of hospitality, to feed even enemies, and once they sit one's table they must be left unmolested. Food can also be used, as it was in the Mughal Empire's kitchens, to demonstrate one's social standing or power, and court chefs down the ages were constantly inventing new dishes to highlight their ruler's glory and prestige.
In our own time food has, as Heine tells us, even become political, with Zionists, who felt that a new country needed a national dish, appropriating hummus and falafel. Nowadays, claiming that hummus and falafel are Israeli dishes merely inflames Palestinian passions rather than encouraging people to sit down together at a table and enjoy some together. The reason? It was felt (in 1948) that these were "two simple Middle Eastern recipes that all the new state's citizens could afford." They even invented some "historical" evidence, citing allusions to chickpeas in the Torah! It is sad to think that the two staples of what we in the West see as Middle Eastern food have come, for some, to represent repression and tyranny.
Heine manages, in a little more than two hundred pages, to cover more than a thousand years of culinary history and practices.
Middle Eastern cuisine is, of course, one of the most popular of the various "foreign" foods we in the West enjoy today, and, insofar as it's part of what's loosely-defined as a "Mediterranean" diet, it's also considered healthy. For many people, though, it's mostly hummus, pita or balady bread, doner kebabs, stuffed vine leaves (also Greek, of course) and falafel. Most people are likely unaware of the sheer variety of Middle Eastern food, not to mention its widespread geographical distribution, from North Africa through Arabia, the former Ottoman Empire and Persia across to India, with the cuisine of the Mughal Empire.
And that's where Peter Heine and his wonderful book comes in. He doesn't just serve up academic history, but tells interesting stories, discusses kitchen practices, and explains the roles which religion, trade, invasions and migration all played in the development of what we know as Middle Eastern cuisine today. Best of all, wearing his gourmet hat, he also includes over a hundred recipes, some quite simple and others lavish and luxurious. You can prepare food at home like an Egyptian peasant or a Turkish shepherd and eat like a Mughal emperor or the Caliph of Baghdad, all courtesy of Heine's selection of recipes. It's a great way to get beyond take-outs and overpriced restaurants, and a good lead-in to cookery classics such as Claudia Roden's Book of Middle Eastern Food (my own standby for this kind of cooking) or anything else in Heine's extensive bibliography, and he appears to have read almost everything.
Heine approaches his subject from every conceivable angle. He begins with a chapter entitled "No Pork, no Alcohol", which is probably one of the first subjects a Westerner might raise about Middle Eastern food. We are told that the prohibition of pork was based not on the fact (actually unknown until the 19th century) that undercooked pork can make people ill, but that pigs had been used as sacrificial animals by pre-Islamic pagans. However, as Heine tells us, the Qu'ran does say that if a Muslim is starving he can eat pork and not be a sinner for so doing, and Arabic has, apparently, "over one hundred and fifty terms for wine." Muhammad himself seems to have felt that a very moderate amount of wine was quite acceptable (getting drunk was not), but the Hadiths, later interpretations and sayings by scholars, seem to be the source of the prohibition.
Islam also deals with food that is preferred, such as camel meat and a casserole called tharid, one of the Prophet's favorite dishes; this kind of information may be found all over Heine's book and demonstrates his encyclopedic knowledge of Middle Eastern food and its traditions. Further chapters deal with subjects such as what food was eaten by Ottoman sultans, various caliphs, the Persian shahs and the Mughals, the flow of commodities from East to West and how individual foodstuffs such as tomatoes, peppers and potatoes dishes came to be used in the East, or how Middle Eastern food like doner kebabs and falafel came to the West.
Heine includes a section on modern-day Middle Eastern cuisine as well as on how food has, sadly, become an issue in both economics and politics. This, together with the topics listed above, all makes for a very wide-ranging and interesting look at the subject of food, although for this reader it was the recipes which made the strongest appeal (I loved the Turkish Shepherd's Salad as an alternative to the standard Greek salad, and the musaqq'a was divine). Actually making some of the food discussed in the text and sharing it with friends gives life and substance to Heine's discussion, as well as helping us understand why this cuisine has become so popular and also emphasizing how food brings people together.
Don't just read this book, although that's obviously a great part of its appeal: use it! My only reservation on this point is that it's a handsome volume printed on good paper and it would be a shame to stain it with saffron or spill cinnamon all over its pages.
As Heine notes, "Middle Eastern societies were multinational, multiethnic, multireligious and socially highly diverse;" all these different elements could once have come together in peace and amity over food, but in our times this common bond has been eroded by nationalism and the "proxy wars" initiated for dubious purposes in the Middle East by the United States and its allies or regional powers such as Iran or Turkey. This situation is all the more unfortunate because Iran and Turkey, not to mention Iraq and war-torn Yemen, were once part of that multinational community which brought us this remarkable cuisine.
Heine's book is so packed with fascinating information and anecdotes that if you are anything close to a food aficionado it would be very hard to put it down. He writes very engagingly and knowledgeably; he is completely at home with his subject and presents it to his readers with enthusiasm and gusto. Heine manages, in a little more than two hundred pages, to cover more than a thousand years of culinary history and practices, showing readers how and why this particular form of cuisine has become so popular in the West, and immensely expanding our knowledge of it.
Food, we understand after reading this book, is not just something we put in our mouths for sustenance; in many ways it expresses the very soul of the nations from which it originates, and enjoying it together provides unique cross-cultural insights. It's no accident that the group Chefs for Peace was formed in Jerusalem by an Armenian who has brought together Israeli, Arab and Christian chefs, and organizes communal dinners all over Europe and the Middle East.
A small step, perhaps, but we all eat, and we rarely dine alone. "You who believe," says the Qu'ran, "eat the good things We have provided for you and be grateful to God if it is him that you worship."

Elections to Colchester Borough Council took place on 5 May 2022. Eighteen members of the council (one-third of the whole) were elected: one from 16 of the 17 wards, and two councillors from New Town & Christ Church ward, following the death of incumbent councillor Nick Cope (Liberal Democrat), elected in 2019 and due to serve until 2023.

At the election, the Conservative–Independent coalition lost control of the council, with the Conservatives losing seats to the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party. Paul Dundas, the leader of the council, lost his seat in Stanway to challenger Tracey Arnold.

Labour gained one seat from the Liberal Democrats and won the vacated Independent seat in Highwoods, giving them their largest share of representation on the council since the 1990s.

Background

Following the results of the previous election, the ruling "Progressive Alliance" coalition (comprising the Liberal Democrats, Labour and Independents) lost control of the council after the Independents decided to form an administration with the Conservatives, giving them a majority of one seat over the opposition parties.

Over the years, doctors and nurses have noticed that people addicted to opiates have a hard time when being treated for pain management. It's almost impossible to treat them, even with the strongest narcotic pain meds. This may be due in part to the fact that their drug of choice is a painkiller. Once the addiction starts, the patient's body builds a tolerance to the substance, which means that it has less of an effect on the system. Addicts end up taking more and more of the drug in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms. This inability to remain at a baseline of comfort and avoid the pain of withdrawal is partly what keeps an addict stuck in the vicious cycle of addiction.
Treating patients with a standing opiate addiction presents many obstacles for doctors to provide effective care. Are you or someone you care about addicted to heroin or opiate prescription drugs such as OxyContin or Vicodin? The good news is that help is available. There are many free inpatient drug rehab centers for you or your loved one to check into.
Most of these rehab centers make sure the client has the education and the tools to get sober, it's about showing them by example that life can be thoroughly enjoyed in sobriety. A team of professional counselors and therapists are all recovering addicts and alcoholics as well, and all of them can empathize with exactly what their clients are feeling.
For rehab to effectively do its job,it must be able to reach their client and make them understand that recovery from drugs and alcohol can work, and that life can be enjoyed without the devastating circumstances brought about by addiction. While each counselor and therapist are well-educated and certified in addiction counseling, they can also share with their clients through their own life experiences that sobriety is fulfilling and meaningful.
If you or a loved one is suffering from addition, do yourself or them a favor today, and look into getting help. Many people have been in your shoes and have won this addiction battle. By taking action now your proving to yourself that you're through with settling and want to live a life of sobriety and happiness…..and there are professionals waiting to help you who have experienced the same battles, that will hold your hand along the way to clean living.

'Pop-Up Church' Was a Highlight of Pharrell's Big Music Festival
Jessica Mouser
The Something in the Water (SITW) music festival in Virginia Beach, Virginia, featured many popular artists, as well as something a little different: a pop-up church service. The "revival style" service was held Sunday, April 28, and began at 12 p.m., lasting well into the evening.
"The church service shows they are thinking about everyone—not just the people who like rap," Brenetta Waters, one of the service's attendees, told The Virginian-Pilot.
About SITW
Something in the Water took place over Virginia Beach's college beach weekend. Rapper and entrepreneur Pharrell Williams, widely known for his hit "Happy," is from Virginia Beach and created the festival as a way of benefiting the city and helping to keep people out of trouble. The Virginian-Pilot reports that some businesses close their doors during the college beach weekend, preferring not to deal with crowds of students, and that last year, four people were shot. One SITW attendee told WAVY News 10, "Historically, this weekend has a bad reputation. It's all changing today."
SITW sold out at 35,000 tickets and was generally a resounding success, despite an inauspicious beginning when Friday night's performances were cancelled due to severe weather. Artists such as the Dave Matthews Band, Janelle Monae and the Migos were unable to perform as a result. Artists who did perform included SZA, Mac DeMarco, Travis Scott and Williams himself. During Williams' set Saturday evening, billed as "Pharrell and Friends," he brought out quite a few big names in the rap world, including Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott and Diddy.
In an interview with WAVY News 10, Williams said that the idea behind the festival was not just to find a good way to entertain out-of-town guests but also to benefit businesses and bring business into the city. He expressed his gratitude for the love and positivity that was demonstrated by the Virginia Beach community and also said how thankful he was for the support shown by the city's leaders and even by leaders from surrounding communities like Norfolk and Chesapeake.
Thank you Virginia Beach for a magical weekend. Your spirit and energy is unmatched. Thank you for coming together. Thank you to the artists and brands. Thank you to the city, the police and the fire department. And thank YOU for your positivity 🖖🏾 #SITWfest pic.twitter.com/mBBrFBKuTC

The Pop-Up Church
Bishop Ezekiel Williams, who is Pharrell Williams' uncle and pastors Faith World Ministries in Norfolk, organized the pop-up church event. In a video promoting the pop-up church, he invited pastors, congregations and "anyone who would like to be uplifted" to worship together on Sunday.

— WTKR News 3 (@WTKR3) April 28, 2019
Bishop Williams said, "One of the things that makes this festival so different from the others is the introduction of pop-up church on the beach. Pop-up church is a venue comprised of area pastors sharing the gospel, offering prayers for our communities, along with local church choirs, groups, praise and worship leaders, liturgical dancers, and spoken word artists."
While the pop-up church service featured big names in gospel music such as Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary, many local church groups, as well as area pastors, also took part in the event.
About 2,500 made it into the venue for the service and hundreds more enjoyed it while standing outside the gates. A number of people came just for the pop-up church, which was free, and not because they were attending the rest of the festival. One attendee told The Virginian-Pilot that the service was the "Woodstock of gospel music."
A woman at the pop-up church service said, "I don't think that you can do something on this grand of a scale and this much of a blessing without having God's blessing over it," while the opinion of a man who attended was that the service was a great way to "reach out to the lost" and bring people together. A pastor invited to speak at the service said that he hoped the pop-up church would "inspire our youth and young people to understand that they are important and valuable to our region."

5 O'Clock Roundup: Stem cell handout, Chinese iPhone rollout, Kodak's near-wipeout
Paul Boutin
California's stem cell agency hands out $230M of its $3B fund in grants — Stanford scored big, landing $52 million in grants for research that might cure leukemia, stroke and deadly skin disease epidermolysis bullosa. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine and its $3 billion warchest were created by California voters in 2004 via Prop 71, in response to the Bush administration's ban on embryonic stem-cell research done on cells harvested from human fetuses.
Fun fact: Most of the research funded in this round doesn't actually involve embryonic stem cells, because not much research in general involves embryonic stem cells. SFGate runs down the long, long list of recipients.
iPhone 3GS will be super-expensive for Chinese buyers — The average price of a smartphone in China is $350. Apple's 32 GB iPhone 3G S will go for more than three times that at $1,171. Moreover, the minimum two-year service subscription from China Unicom will cost Chinese buyers $3,120 over two years, more than the $2,600 American buyers pay for the same period.
Will it sell? The Wall Street Journal reports that China has an estimated 710 million mobile-phone subscribers, according to government figures. But the average customer pays less than $15 for monthly service and only 7.5% of the handsets sold in the country last year were smart phones. Analysts told the Journal that China Unicom, which will carry the iPhone exclusively at first, is a less savvy marketer than most wireless carriers.
David Pogue reviews three new smartphones at once — Motorola, BlackBerry and HTC. All three phones that New York Times tech columnist Pogue runs through his non-engineeringly hands — he really is a sort of anti-Mossberg — are comeback attempts by makers whose previous top models didn't soar. All have Bluetooth plus Wi-Fi, five or six hours of talk time, plus standardized headphone jacks so you have more choice in buying a custom headset for yourself.
Here's the 100-word version of each review:
"Don't rush a product to market just because it's the holiday season. That's what R.I.M. did last year, and the Storm was a mess. You'd tap one menu item, and a different one would highlight. The Storm 2 fixes all of that."
"Motorola has built an ingenious, if initially overwhelming, archipelago of social-networking widgets. the address book fills itself with information and headshots from those online worlds. When someone calls — your brother, say — you see not only his photo, but also his latest status broadcasts from Twitter and Facebook."
"HTC must have gotten sick of hearing how homely and bulky its first Google Android phone was. The HTC Hero is thin, sleek and a pleasure to hold. Far narrower than the Storm 2 and far thinner than the Motorola Cliq." (It conspicuously matches iPhone dimensions.)

Personalized shopping shouldn't get too person, says Zappos — The New York Times reports on Zappos' hiring of ChoiceStream, a Cambridge, Mass., company that helps e-commerce sites set up customization. The results so far: A 3 percent increase in sales, and customers who are clearly more interactive in their visits, looking at an average 20 percent more pages in the store than before. Zappos' director of user experience and Web strategy says the company has been careful about not rushing into sending customers lots of mail and giving them too much personal advice while they're on the site. He wants to avoid "overmarketing" to them, a word that should be in more common use.
Kodak reports fourth straight quarterly loss on sales — The company is a lesson: The once premier film brand has been left behind by Americans' faster-than-expected switch to digital cameras and Internet content. "They don't have a significant recurring revenue base," one analyst said, "so they're very transaction-oriented and transactions just aren't happening as much right now." Sales fell all around, to a net loss of $111 million compared to last year's $96 million in profit. Kodak won't give out the numbers for its new inkjet printer and ink business, but it claims sales more than doubled in the quarter.
Nokia used to be a manufacturer of auto tires and rubber boots. So there's hope for Kodak yet.
Apple TV 3.0 is out. They fixed the menus — I've been surprised at the lack of buzz for Apple TV. Everyone seems to be watching either iTunes, Hulu or BitTorrent. But there's a new rev of the gadget's software out. Here's your cocktail-party briefing: The upgrade is free. A new Apple TV is $229.
The big design change in Apple TV 3.0 software is a new main menu borne of customer feedback: "Recently rented or purchased movies, as well as other content including TV shows, music, podcasts, photos and YouTube, are accessible directly from the new main menu," Apple wrote in a press release. I spend way too much time clicking through my iTunes library while trying to relax with some TV after work. So I grok how these changes will make watching Apple TV more of a joy and less of a brand loyalty test.


America's oil dependence threatens our national security, economy and environment. We consume 25 percent of the world's total oil production, but we have 3 percent of its known reserves. We spend tens of billions of dollars each year to import oil from some of the most unstable regions of the world. This costly habit endangers our health: America's cars, trucks, and buses account for 27 percent of U.S. global warming pollution, as well as soot and smog that damage human lungs.


The Karl Arthur Severson Foundation's mission is to provide financial assistance to the Roaring Fork Valley teen aged youth to facilitate their pursuit of a future in ski racing, teaching, guiding or patrolling. Specifically, we will provide assistance to amateur athletes who have the potential to qualify for the U.S. Ski Team, providing monetary endowments for equipment, travel and coaching .

Q: Exchange Web Service Search for Custom folder name I need to find the folder named "Archived", which will be at the parent level, NOT A SUBFOLDER.

A:
I need to find the folder name "Archived" which will be at the Parent level

If that's the case, you shouldn't be using a deep traversal as that will return all folders in the hierarchy, rather than just those at the top level. I would also suggest you use a SearchFilter so it just returns the folder you want, which will simplify your code, for example:
String folderSearchName = "Archived";

FolderView fvFolderView = new FolderView(1);
fvFolderView.Traversal = FolderTraversal.Shallow;

SearchFilter fsFolderSearch = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(FolderSchema.DisplayName, folderSearchName);

FolderId SearchRoot = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot, "user@domain.com");

FindFoldersResults folderSearchResults = service.FindFolders(SearchRoot, fsFolderSearch, fvFolderView);
if (folderSearchResults.Folders.Count == 1)
{
    Console.WriteLine(folderSearchResults.Folders[0].DisplayName);
}

Michael continues his discussion on the intricacies of uranium, and we pick up with his analysis of supply. Supply has been constrained by recent cutbacks from Kazakhstan and Cameco as well as other mines being idled. There appears to be some supply-side discipline building in the market.
Secondary supplies are also starting to wane, and there is not much left. This points to an inevitable price rise. The demand picture is beginning to form as a third of nuclear plants will need to buy uranium which will no longer be available from the spot market. They will have to negotiate with the producers. Prices have to go appreciably higher for mines to restart.
The United States used to be self-sufficient when it came to producing uranium but that is no longer the case. They are now entirely dependent on foreign sources which carries geopolitical risk.
In the last few years, most uranium companies have diluted their shares and have been burning cash. There have been some investors but the marginal capital that will take these stocks higher are the general institutional funds. Uranium has not been on their radar because it's so complicated with sparse data and limited information. The big guys can't be bothered, and the smaller investment firms can't afford to do the research.
People need to realize that this seven-year downturn has resulted in a lot of shares being issued by companies. Since they diluted their shares this will dampen the upside potential on many stocks.
• Michael discusses his background being a researcher and contrarian investor.
• Investors and industry are complacent to what is going on.
• Utilities will be unable to get uranium easily as they have in the past.
• Look at how much dilution of shares has occurred in companies.
• Exploration companies stories to attract investors are often better than reality.

Thorold runner defends zone titles
An ACL injury suffered playing football the summer before entering high school put Tristan Christie's track and field pursuits on hold.
"It took me out Grade 8, Grade 9 and the first semester of Grade 10," the Grade 11 student at Thorold Secondary School said.
To say the knee injury was frustrating would be a major understatement.
"It sucked," the 16-year-old Thorold resident said.
Getting back on the track was no easy task.
"It took a lot of running, a lot of physio and a lot of training," he said.
He made a triumphant return to the track last spring, winning the Zone 4 junior boys championships in the 200 metres, 400 metres and javelin and later added a silver medal in the 400 metres at the Southern Ontario Secondary Schools Association championships.
On Wednesday at the Niagara Olympic Club in St. Catharines, Christie had another excellent day, finishing first in the senior boys 200 and 400 metres.
It felt good for him to retain his zone titles, albeit at an older age group.
"It's not that important, but it is a good title to have."
Christie thought he had a 50 per cent chance of winning a zone title in his first year as a senior competitor.
There is no secret how he got there.
"I train five days a week with weekends off and it's train, train, train and train."
In addition to training with the Thorold Elite Track Club, Christie worked out during the winter at McMaster University.
Thorold Elite coach Steve Fife describes Christie as one of one the most dedicated athletes in his club.
"He has trained through two injuries and two surgeries and has come back strong each time," he said.
Fife has high expectations for the runner.
"I expect him to continue to get faster and faster and hopefully he will be out at nationals with us in Manitoba this year for the 400 metres."
Christie is motivated by the big prize this spring.
"I want to go to OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations championships)," Christie said. "It's the best of the best you are facing and you might as well put yourself up there," he said.
He feels the 400 metres is his best chance at getting to OFSAA, and he knows he has to improve his time if he is hoping to qualify for the provincial championships.
"It is early right now," he said. "You just can't start out strong right off the bat. You have to build up to your best ability."
It is a work in progress.
"I am getting there, but there are some rough days."
To take the next step as a runner, he needs to improve all aspects on his game.
"It's a physical and a mental game with your competitors," he said.
Christie is a key member of the Thorold club.
"He is one of the leaders on the team and definitely a gentle giant," Fife said. "He is someone who is always willing to lend a hand and he's a great role model for the rest of the kids."

                 ("f6", hello)  #Is this correct?
              ]

A: What you're doing is not correct. For the last member of world to be an array of N hellos, it has to be of type hello * N, not hello.
But here, N is 0, so that doesn't really work.
In C, this is called the "struct hack" or "struct array hack". That world struct isn't a real structure that you can construct as-is and pass around. Instead, what you do is malloc up sizeof(world) + N * sizeof(hello) bytes, cast that to world *, and pass that pointer around. Because array indexing doesn't do any type-checking in C, my_world->h[2] will just work (assuming you've allocated enough memory for at least 3 hellos at the end of the world).
But it won't work in Python.
Well, it sort of works, but you have to do more work.

The first option is to not actually define world globally, and instead define a new Structure class every time you want to deal with a world.
For example. let's say we called some function that told us how many hellos there are:
n = lib.number_of_hellos()

And now we want to call a function that gives us the world with that many hellos in it. So:
class world(Structure):
    _pack_ = 1
    _fields_ = [ ("f1", c_ulonglong),
                 ("f2", c_ulonglong),
                 ("f3", c_uint16),
                 ("f4", c_uint16),
                 ("f5", c_uint32),
                 ("f6", hello * n)
              ]

At this point, you can either change the restype of lib.get_world to return a POINTER(world), or you can cast the result that comes back.

Alternatively, you can define world as always having 1 hello, but then, instead of accessing hello directly off a world pointer, you construct a hello * N pointer at the hello's address (or just at the world's address plus the offset of the type's hello; either way is the same).

What if you need to create a world with N hellos in it to pass to C?
You can use the first trick again, constructing a new world class that ends with an array of N hellos, then create an instance of that to pass it to C.
Or you can use the same trick C code uses: keep the global single-hello world class around, and either construct your world objects by creating a buffer and then casting that to a world, or by constructing a world object but then calling resize on it.

There are also workarounds you can do to make life easier. For example, if you're writing the C code yourself (and you can't just not use the struct hack), you can easily add a pair of C functions that compose a no-hello world, an array of hellos, and a count into an N-hello world, and vice-versa.
Or, alternatively, just make a nonhackyworld type that has a pointer to an array of hellos at the end, instead of directly including it, and write C functions to convert back and forth between them.
Then you just ctypes up those functions and call them whenever you want to pass or process a world (or even set them up as value type converters for other functions).
Even if you can't add C functions, you can write those functions in ctypes. They'll be horribly ugly messes of creating buffers and casting pointers, but you only have to write them (and debug the segfaults) once, and then use them everywhere.

Hulu: We'll Have Our Cake, Eat It Too
MariNation Mari Silbey, Senior Editor, Cable/Video 5/11/2016
It's good to be a programmer, good to be a distributor and doubly good to be both.
Backed by broadcasters, Hulu LLC made its name as an aggregator of network content. Offering ad-supported video alongside premium subscription content, the company has steadily increased its subscriber base and expanded its reach through new distribution channels. Most recently Hulu added General Communication Inc. (GCI) (Nasdaq: GNCMA) to its list of operator partners that include Hulu access on the TiVo set-tops they lease to subscribers.
And Cablevision Systems Corp. (NYSE: CVC) even offers Hulu as an individual channel on customer set-top boxes using ActiveVideo 's Cloud TV platform. (See Hulu Joins Cablevision Lineup.)
But if Hulu wants to be a TV channel, then doesn't it make sense not to compete with the companies who might distribute that channel?
Apparently that's not the way Hulu sees it.
Hulu is reportedly preparing a subscription online video service for early 2017. The service isn't designed to offer the full cable TV bundle, but it is being touted as a mid-tier subscription option for viewers who want access to some traditional TV content, but not all. (See Hulu Eyes Cable-Like Bundle – Report.)
As Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) Chairman and CEO Bob Iger said on yesterday's earnings call (transcript courtesy of Seeking Alpha), "Hulu's become an important investment for us, not just as a distributor of the programs that we make, but ultimately as a buyer of original product and ultimately as a distributor of our channels. And we think they have a great opportunity to become an OTT MVPD because they can leverage their current user base."
If that doesn't sound like competition with the cable operators Hulu is also trying to sell to, I don't know what does.
For more on video market trends, join us at the Video Summit, part of our upcoming Big Communications Event in Austin, Texas, May 24-25. Register now!
But Iger is adamant that competing with its customers doesn't pose a problem.
"I also know that there have been questions asked about what the impact of going into the distribution business is on our current distribution partners," said Iger on the earnings call. "And to that I would respond... there are a number of our current distribution partners that are in the content ownership, content creation business, most notably Comcast and its purchase of NBCUniversal. So we don't think that there's any negative impact whatsoever to us, going into the business of distributing our channels."
Here's the issue. Even if Hulu can get away with a little friendly "coopetition" in the short term, the company will ultimately dilute the value of its content if it spreads distribution across too many channels, and particularly if it starts to take a cut of those distribution revenues as well. Maybe that's the only option Hulu and other programmers have. After all, broadcasters grew fat on a dual-subscription business that paid them through advertising and licensing fees earned through cable distributors, and that model is slowly falling apart.
But by competing with its customers, Hulu can only hasten the end of lucrative content licensing arrangements. Why should cable companies spend a lot on Hulu's content -- either its OTT package or the channels that Fox Broadcasting Co. and Disney contribute to that offering -- if Hulu is going to undercut those deals with a new, more full-featured service of its own?
It's hard to see how the numbers add up.

Campus Reform | Yale apologizes for 'dehumanizing' cartoons of Dartmouth mascot
Yale apologizes for 'dehumanizing' cartoons of Dartmouth mascot
Yale University is apologizing for a "dehumanizing" and "racially insensitive" program booklet used to commemorate its 100th annual football game against Dartmouth College.
The program cover featured a collage of covers from past games, including several featuring cartoonish Indian characters referring to Dartmouth's former mascot.
Friday, October 14, 2016 11:02 AM
The booklet included eight renditions of historical program covers for the Dartmouth-Yale game, four of which contained depictions of Native Americans that some found offensive, according to The Yale Daily News.
Beginning in the 1920s, Dartmouth was unofficially known as "the Indians," a nickname with an accompanying mascot that persisted until the mid-1970s, when they were renamed the "Big Green."
One of the images, first published in 1942, shows the Dartmouth Indian being chased up a tree by the Yale bulldog, while another from the 1944 matchup depicts a Yale football player lighting an Indian's clothing on fire. In both cartoons, the Indian mascot is dressed in a loincloth, a feathered headdress, and war paint.
All of the historical program covers featured were originally published between the late-1920s and the mid-1950s.
The 100th anniversary program gained traction on social media after Mary Kathryn Nagle, executive director for the Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program, tweeted a photo of the booklet along with the caption, "Cannot believe that @Yale & #Dartmouth would use such dehumanizing images of #Redface at a football game."
The Yale Athletics Department issued an apology on Sunday, one day after the football game, writing that the images were a "violation of our values of mutual respect, equality, and decency."
[RELATED: Protesters: Native American-made seal not native enough]
"Our intention was to recognize the 100-game relationship between Dartmouth College and Yale University," the statement explained, adding, "We are truly sorry for the hurt this program cover caused, particularly for those from Native American communities. Yale Athletics is committed to representing the best of Yale and upholding the University's values, especially respect for all."
The Association of Native Americans at Yale thanked the Athletics Department for the apology in a Facebook post, declaring that the program cover "perpetuates prejudice and discrimination against Native peoples" by reproducing images of the defunct mascot.
"The program features the former mascot of Dartmouth College, which is officially no longer in use due to the racist stereotypes it perpetuates," the ANAY said. "Studies show the damaging effects of such images on Native peoples and young people of all races."
Despite accepting the Athletic Department's apology, the ANAY criticized the institution as a whole for "eras[ing] the contribution of Indigenous peoples," citing Yale College's association with John C. Calhoun, founder of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
[RELATED: Yale works toward Calhoun-less Calhoun College]
Yale Athletics Director Tom Beckett told The New Haven Register that the Athletics Department will be doing more than just issuing the apology, saying there are plans to meet with multiple Native American groups on campus.
Kelly Fayard, assistant dean of Yale College and director of the Native American Cultural Center, told the Register that she is looking forward to the meeting because she is "really interested in educating people, not just so they know it's wrong, but to know why it's wrong," arguing that it doesn't matter that the images are from a bygone era.
"There really is no appropriate use for those images today," Nagle declared. "We need to retire them. That purpose is no longer accepted by the majority of Americans today."
Beckwith declined to name an individual responsible for the racially insensitive imagery, explaining that the programs were a group effort on behalf of the Athletics Department.
Despite the controversy over the programs, Yale won the 100th anniversary game over Dartmouth by a score of 35-3.
