Al Lowe, creator of the Leisure Suit Larry series and a lead in the early days of PC video games through his work on Sierra On-Line, has put all his source code on eBay – including the original Leisure Suit Larry in Lizards Country and Leisure Suit Larry 2 where both command bids over $ 7,500.
/ 4 inch floppy (like in, actually floppy) discs, for the bona fide retro feeling. Assuming collectors have a device to access it, Lowe says that they can put it in a text editor to read the code because it's all text.
"When I Quit Creating Larry 2 I thought I should keep a clean archive of everything needed to recreate the game so I copied all source code, text, animation, background art, music, sound effect. .. all i could do for these disks, says Lowe in the listing for Leisure Suit Larry 2 . "I then packed them in a box (which once contained empty floppies that I bought to produce my games before my Sierra days). Then I put the yellow lock in a black storage box where it sat undisturbed for over 30 years!
It is important to note (as Lowe does) that this is just his copy of the code and it does not give. The final owner has no rights over the games, nor distributes the code. "IP rights were sold over and over, until they are owned by a German gaming company," wrote Lowe.
Lowe says that more code will follow eBay (these initial listings will last for the following eight days or so).
Celebrities Larry will be shown by 2013 in Recreation Larry: Reloaded by Replay Games, with Lowe aboard the designer. It was funded successfully on kickstart 2012. However, Lowe later expires to Replay Games after the conviction of the studio president on a fee to show an explicit video to a minor.

Q: sort entire 2d vector on the basis of a certain row I am interested to sort the entire 2d vector on the basis of second row. I tried some code which sort only second row, however, i want it for the entire 2d vector.
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<algorithm>
int main()
{
    std::vector< std::vector<int> > vect{{3, 5, 1},
                                         {4, 8, 6},
                                         {7, 2, 9}};
    int m = vect.size();
    int n = vect[0].size();
    sort(vect[1].begin(), vect[1].end());
    std::cout << "After sorting :\n";
    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)
    {
        for (int j=0; j<n ;j++)
            std::cout << vect[i][j] << " ";
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

The output come like:
3 5 1
4 6 8
7 2 9

But I want it to be
3 1 5
4 6 8
7 9 2

A: Create a function which transposes the vector, so it should modify {{3, 5, 1}, {4, 8, 6}, {7, 2, 9}} into {{3,4,7},{5,8,2},{1,6,9}}. Transpose the vector with your function, then sort the vector with custom comparator comparing the second elements of rows. Then call the transpose function again.
The transpose function could look like
std::vector< std::vector<int> > transpose(std::vector< std::vector<int> >& vect)
{
 std::vector< std::vector<int> > transposed(vect[0].size(), std::vector<int>());
 for (size_t i = 0; i < vect.size(); ++i)
  for (size_t j = 0; j < vect[0].size(); ++j)
    transposed[j].push_back(vect[i][j]);
 return transposed;
}

Then the entire code would be
vect = transpose(vect);
std::sort(vect.begin(), vect.end(),
  [](const std::vector<int>& lhs, const std::vector<int>& rhs)
     {return lhs[1] < rhs[1];});
vect = transpose(vect);

If a vector is square then the transposition can be done in place making the solution much more effective then this general one.

A: The structure of question won't allow us to use built-in sort function. Because, custom sort will only provides "rows". And you can compare "rows" only.
But there are some alternative ways to accomplish that.
For example you can do that by transposing vector of vector.
"Transpose > Sort by column > Transpose" may solve your problem.
But my solution is based on another dynamic.

*

*Sort nth column and keep indexes as array. (n is the position of ordered row)

*Using the array defined at step 1, sort all rows one by one.

http://cpp.sh/4dkzg
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<algorithm>

using namespace std;

template <typename T>
vector<size_t> sort_indexes(const vector<T> &v) {

  // initialize original index locations
  vector<size_t> idx(v.size());
  iota(idx.begin(), idx.end(), 0);

  // sort indexes based on comparing values in v
  sort(idx.begin(), idx.end(),
       [&v](size_t i1, size_t i2) {return v[i1] < v[i2];});

  return idx;
}

int main()
{
    std::vector< std::vector<int> > vect{{3, 5, 1, 2},
                                         {4, 8, 6, 1},
                                         {7, 2, 9, 5}};
    int m = vect.size();
    int n = vect[0].size();

    int sortByRow = 1; // starts from 0, if 1 => order by using 2nd row.

    /* generate reference for our actual sort operation */
    std::vector<size_t> indexSort = sort_indexes(vect[sortByRow]);

    /* sort each row using our reference vector */
    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)
    {
        int temp[n];
        for (int j=0; j<n; j++)
            temp[j] = vect[i][indexSort[j]];

        // Copy back temp[] to vector
        for (int j=0; j<n; j++)
            vect[i][j]  = temp[j];

    }

    std::cout << "After sorting :\n";
    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)
    {
        for (int j=0; j<n ;j++)
            std::cout << vect[i][j] << " ";
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/reorder-a-array-according-to-given-indexes/ (if you want to apply in-place sorting, there are some fixes)

A: You could make an std::vector of std::pair<int,int> where in the first variable of the i-th element of the vector you have the i-th value of the second row while in the second variable you have the value of the index i.
Then you sort that vector based on the first values of the pairs. That way you can make a new 2D vector where in every row you order the elements based on the second value of the pairs, which are the old indices.
std::vector< std::vector<int> > vect{{ 3, 5, 1 },{ 4, 8, 6 },{ 7, 2, 9 }};
std::vector<std::pair<int, int>> row;

for (int i = 0; i < vect[1].size(); ++i){
    row.push_back({vect[1][i],i});
}
sort(row.begin(), row.end());

std::vector< std::vector<int> > sorted;
std::vector<int> sortedRow;
for (int i = 0; i < vect.size(); ++i){
    for (int j = 0; j < vect[i].size(); ++j){
        sortedRow.push_back(vect[i][row[j].second]);
    }
    sorted.push_back(sortedRow);
    sortedRow.clear();
}

You have to #include <utility>.

A: This code is very dirty. but exactly is the same code you want.
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<algorithm>

std::vector< std::vector<int> > vect = { {3, 5, 1}, {4, 8, 6}, {7, 2, 9} };

int findInVector(std::vector<int> input, int temp)
{
    for(int i=0;i<input.size();i++)
    {
        if(input[i] == temp)
        {
            return i;
        }
    }
}

bool myfunction (int i,int j)
{

    bool ret;

    if(i<j)
    {
        int i_pos = findInVector( vect[1], i);
        int j_pos = findInVector( vect[1], j);

        int temp  = vect[0][i_pos];
        vect[0][i_pos] = vect[0][j_pos];
        vect[0][j_pos] = temp;

        temp  = vect[2][i_pos];
        vect[2][i_pos] = vect[2][j_pos];
        vect[2][j_pos] = temp;

        ret = true;
    }
    else
    {
        ret = false;
    }

    return ret;
}

int main()
{
    int m = vect.size();
    int n = vect[0].size();
    sort(vect[1].begin(), vect[1].end(), myfunction);
    std::cout << "After sorting :\n";
    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)
    {
        for (int j=0; j<n ;j++)
            std::cout << vect[i][j] << " ";
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

PH2091 is a semester module in English language at Master's level which is offered in winter semester.
Responsible coordinator of the module PH2091 is Alexander Holleitner.
This module gives an overview over the electronic properties of nanoscale circuits and systems. After a topical and historic introduction, "top down" and "bottom-up" methods of nanolithography and -fabrication are presented. Then, the impact of the spatial confinement on the electronic states as well as the electronic transport properties of low-dimensional electron systems is discussed. Furthermore, phase-coherent transport phenomena, magneto quantum transport in low-dimensional electron systems, Coulomb blockade effects, single electron and single spin phenomena are presented. In addition, thermoelectric and optoelectronic phenomena in nanoscale circuits are introduced. A further emphasis is put on topical material systems, such as graphene, topological insulators, nanoparticles, single molecules and proteins, carbon nanotubes, and nanoscale semiconductor circuits.
1) specify common "top down" and "bottom up" methods of nanofabrication.
2) discuss the impact of spatial confinement on the electronic properties of nanosystems.
3) explain and specify phase-coherent transport phenomena in nanoscale circuits.
4) explain magneto quantum transport phenomena such as the quantum Hall effect.
5) explain and specify single electron and single spin processes in solid state based nanosystems.
6) explain thermoelectric phenomena in nanoscale circuits.
The exam for this module can be taken together with the exam to the associated follow-up module PH2092: Nanosystems 2 / Nanosysteme 2 after the follwoing semester. In this case you need to register for both exams in the following semester.

Can anyone really have too many shoes? That's an age old question and we think the answer is a resounding no! Which is why we were ecstatic when The Shoe Boutique in Saskatoon opened its doors on Broadway Ave. While shopping for shoes is always fun, shopping for shoes that you would normally have to go to a larger city to find is amazing.
The Shoe Boutique is passionate about shoes and providing their customers with service beyond anything Saskatoon has ever seen. When these are combined you get a truly unique and fun shopping experience, making shoe shopping more fun that should be allowed.
To achieve the outstanding service they strive for the The Shoe Boutique offers same day delivery for online orders within Saskatoon. In addition, it is very important to The Shoe Boutique that all their customers get what they are looking for. This means if you want a specific shoe and they don't have it they will bring it in for you. But they don't stop there. If you want a shoe but can't find it anywhere they will work tirelessly until they find it and then order it. And they charge absolutely nothing for these services.
You also get the choice of how you shop. You can shop in the store on Broadway or go online. Although we suggest visiting their store to experience their great style advice.

Excuse the preface to the Seattle Dining Guide here, but I need to discuss Krusteaz. Skip down just a few paragraphs for the best places to eat in Seattle – they are my favorites!
One of the best parts of my job is getting to work with brands I adore, and another? Traveling. So, it's a win-win situation when one of my favorite brands – Krusteaz – brings me out to Seattle for a long weekend of fun and learning.
Krusteaz is headquartered in Seattle, and for the past two years, as part of their team of Baker's Dozen bloggers, I have traveled to Washington to visit as well as attend IFBC, the food blogging conference held in downtown Seattle. This year was just as exciting as last…we spent the day in the kitchens creating dishes using Krusteaz products. Believe it or not, this was the first and only time I have gotten to experiment with their flagship product – PIE CRUST. It was created by a group of housewives, this easy pie crust, which combines the mix with water. JUST ADD WATER. Crust. Ease. Krusteaz!
After a fun day, we headed back to IFBC and downtown for the rest of the weekend. On Saturday morning, as part of my Krusteaz crew, I helped with a cute cookie gifting session led by Jenn of Hostess with the Mostess. We created bags and boats and tins of cleverly decorated cookies, and everyone had a ball. Afterwards, I joined in on some of the conference, but like many other bloggers, I took advantage of being in such a wonderful city and headed out to venture the streets.
May I just say, I LOVE Seattle?
The food, the sights, the shopping. I've been a handful of times, and every time, I find more to lure me back. Have you been? Are you going? If so, let me know, I would happily share my findings with you! In the mean time, here are a few of my favorite foodie haunts in the Emerald City. Enjoy!
Serious Pie. Limited pizza menu, but excellent. Wood fire, fresh ingredients, small and cozy.
Dahlia Bakery. Tiny cubby hole bakery, with the most incredible coconut pie you will ever have. Go ahead and buy the cookbook – it will save you the hassle of having to go back and buy it later.
RN74. This Michael Mina eatery was so good I had to go twice in two days. Once for lunch and once for dinner. Don't overlook the burger – it's divine. The agnolotti filled with corn crema and burrata was perfection as well. And for dessert? Beignets. Have them.
Goldfinch Tavern. Formerly the Art at the Four Seasons, this elegant but comfortable restaurant has incredible views to go along with clever cocktails and impressive plates. Desserts are worth not eating your entire dinner, so keep that in mind.
Radiator Whiskey. At the Pike's Market, you'll be hard pressed to find more hearty and comforting foods. Tots covered in cheese and cheese covered in runny eggs? Stop. It's all this good.
Disclaimer: As I mentioned, I am part of the Krusteaz Baker's Dozen. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Super Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr has advanced reasons for lose of Nigeria's Super Eagles to Algerian team in the semifinal match of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt on Sunday night, admitting Super Eagles lost to a better side.
Riyad Mahrez's goal from a free-kick at the edge of the box, with seconds to the end of the match, left Nigeria with a 2-1 defeat.
This will be the first AFCON Final match in 29 years for the Desert Worriors of Algeria.
Rohr told journalists during a post-match interview that it was a game of two halves, adding however that Algeria were the better side at the end of the day.
"Until the last minute, Algeria had a better first half than us, but we came back a much better team in the second half.
"Unfortunately, we conceded a goal in the last minute. I think the players wanted to go to extra-time believing that perhaps Algeria will get tired and we could win the match in extra time
"It was a wonderful game. We lost it, so we are not happy. Congrats to the winners. They were the better team in the first half.
"We scored an own goal. We were unlucky but we came back like we have always done all the time in this tournament.
"When we found ourselves in a difficult situation, we always reacted and we did that also today coming back through a penalty and playing a better second half.
"But a wonderful free-kick from a football genius made the difference.
"In our last game, we won in the last minute against South Africa and today we lost. That's football," he said.
Coach Djamel Belmadi of Algeria on his part said his side had a tough game against a tough opponent, adding that it had to take the quality of Mahrez to decide the result of the match.
"We knew that it would be a tough game because of the quality of our opponents and the tough game we had against Cote d'Ivoire on Thursday.
"My boys had an amazing first half. So, we deserved at that time to score a goal and I think we could have scored even more goals.
"Then in the second half, we had a difficult moment for about 15 minutes, we were under pressure.
"I think we played too deep and didn't apply enough pressure on our opponents due to fatigue on my players and the quality of course of our opponents.
"Then came the penalty which I think my players showed great character and mental strength to come back and fought until the end to score the decisive goal.
"We however had some situations in the second half, maybe not clear cut chances where I think we could have scored another goal with a little more accuracy.
"Then the free-kick arrived and of course with the quality of players like Riyad Mahrez, it's a massive chance at goal and thank God we made it count," he said.
Nigeria will now take on 2004 champions Tunisia in the third place match at the Al Salam Stadium on Wednesday, while Algeria take on Senegal in Friday's final at the Cairo International Stadium.

A summer of cricket while you Bat for Change
Media Release | On 15, Dec 2020
Batting for Change to launch inaugural National Backyard Cricket Day this January – Cricketing royalty will join forces with Batting for Change and everyday Australians to improve access to education at home and abroad.
This January, Batting for Change will be calling on Australian families and cricket fans to play a game of backyard cricket and raise much-needed funds to support education projects in Australia and in cricket-playing nations overseas. The fun and games are all part of National Backyard Cricket Day, launching on Sunday 31 January 2021.
The inaugural event is backed by cricketing royalty; Justin Langer, Alex Blackwell, Ryan Carters, Russel Arnold, Alyssa Healy, Ed Cowan, and Michael Holding are all on board as official campaign ambassadors.
Ted Alexander, Chair of Batting for Change, a fundraising arm of the well-known charity, The LBW Trust said, "National Backyard Cricket day is an opportunity for the community to come together and create fun memories after what's been an extremely challenging 12 months, while supporting an important cause at the same time."
"The pandemic and subsequent recession have had a severe impact on rural areas in Australia as well as the communities we support in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, South Africa, Tanzania, Indonesia and Afghanistan. We're proud to have been able to help people in these cricket-playing countries complete their tertiary education, and we are incredibly grateful for the ongoing community support which allows us to continue to do this."
Ambassador, Justin Langer added, "I'm a huge supporter of Batting for Change. We've all got amazing memories of playing backyard cricket, so the 31st of January is a great opportunity to get all your family and friends together and raise some important funds for some unbelievable initiatives."
David Vaux, Chair of The LBW Trust said "The funds raised from National Backyard Cricket will be split equally between much needed grants for community libraries across Australia and the LBW Trust's overseas education programs."
The Governor General, David Hurley, will be hosting a game of backyard cricket at Government House in Canberra on February 4, where Batting for Change will announce total funds raised.
Event registrations are now open
While gathering in large numbers can be challenging due to current COVID-19 restrictions, Batting for Change encourages smaller groups of immediate family, friends, workmates and more to gather outdoors and enjoy a fun afternoon of cricket together. While the official launch date is January 31, anyone can arrange a game any time during the month of January and it will still be considered part of National Backyard Cricket Day.
For more information or to register an event, please visit https://nationalbackyardcricket.com/. Anyone can donate even if they are not able to host or participate in a game.
All donations over $2 through Batting for Change to The LBW Trust are tax-deductible in Australia.
National Backyard Cricket Day is supported by sponsors Spriggy, Nexba, Triple M, MultiConnexions, Nightjar, CWConsults and Friends of Libraries Australia (FOLA).
How National Backyard Cricket Day will support educational projects
Funds raised by National Backyard Cricket Day events will be split equally between grants for community libraries across Australia and The LBW Trust's overseas education sponsorship programs.
Local libraries in Australia can have a powerful impact on learning and life outcomes. Libraries offer a range of services to their communities including facilitating safe study spaces, holding computer literacy classes, and offering assistance with resumes, cover letters and more to help people gain employment. There is a particular need for increased funding in rural and regional areas to support this work. Friends of Libraries Australia will advise Batting for Change on how to distribute the funds, the types and sizes of the grants to be made, and how libraries will apply for, be awarded, and then account for the funds they receive.
The other half of the funds raised will support The LBW Trust's projects which work to level the global playing field in education. The trust works in partnership with local NGOs to provide tertiary and vocational education to young men and women. More information about the projects can be found here https://nationalbackyardcricket.com/your-impact

import fileinput

#This is the main function, by declaring a main function and then calling it after all the function definitions
#We can list the functions in our code in the order we want, if we didn't have a mainfunction() we would have needed to list all the functions
#our code called first, which might be a bit hard to read.
def mainFunction():

    #Because this is a fairly long piece of code to write, we have broken up the work into a number of functions
    #To try and make it a little easier to read

    #Step 1 - Ask the user to enter their text message
    #By using a print and then an input statement you give a fresh new line to type in their text message
    print("Please enter the message (no punctuation please):")
    txtMessage = input(">")

    #Step 2 use the split function to get a list that contains all the words in the text message
    messageWords = txtMessage.split()

    #The translationFileName should contain the name of the file that contains the list of Text message abbreviations
    #and their corresponding translations
    translationFileName = "Translations.txt"

    #call the function we created below to make sure our translation file exists
    # If the file is found it will return a 0
    # If the file is not found it will return a 1
    fileFound = fileCheck(translationFileName)

    if fileFound == 0 :

        #Step 3 a) b) c) Call the function we created below to get back two lists, a list of the abbreviations and a list of the translations
        allAbbreviations, allTranslations = dictionaryList(translationFileName)

        #Step 3 d) e) Call the function we created below to get back a string containing the translated text message
        translatedMessage = compare(messageWords, allAbbreviations, allTranslations) # the final list of words for the message

        #Step 4) Print the translated message to the user
        print(translatedMessage)
    else :
        print("Could not translate message, file containing translation terms could not be located.")

#This function will check if a specified file exists.
#If the file exists it will not display any error messages
#If the file does not exist it will display an error message and restart the program.
#Accepts one parameter
#   filename the name of the file to check exists

        #Step 3 c) Now this is the tricky part because we need to take all the remaining words in the list and together they make up our translation

#   messageWords - this is the list of words in the text message to be translated
#   allAbbreviations - this is the list containing all possible text message abbreviations we can translate
#   allTranslations - this is the list containing all the translations for each text message abbreviation
#This function returns one value
#   finalMessage    - a string that is the translated text message
def compare(messageWords, allAbbreviations, allTranslations):

    #Step 3 d) Create a loop that will execute once for each word in our list of words in the text message
    for wordPosition in range(0, len(messageWords)):

Oni Press, the acclaimed Portland-based comics publisher, announces the launch of Oni Games, a new gaming imprint dedicated to bringing Oni Press titles to the growing tabletop market.
With the response to Renegade Game Studios' Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Card Game based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley and designed by Keith Baker (Gloom, Illimat), the positive critical and fan response to the recently launched Dead of Winter comic series based on Plaid Hat Games' hit board game, as well as our previous collaboration with Pinnacle Entertainment Group in bringing Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt's The Sixth Gun to the Savage Worlds role-playing system, Oni Press felt it was time to capitalize on the momentum for a more official entry into the world of gaming.
The focus of the Oni Games imprint will be on partnering with both new and veteran game designers and established game publishers to bring the unique characters and vibrant worlds of their original creator-owned comics to the world of games.
Joining Oni Press to help manage this initiative is industry veteran Steve Ellis. Ellis has worked in the gaming industry across a variety of capacities for almost 20 years, including retail as the founder and owner of Rainy Day Games, and a long list of credits in game design and development on projects like Dicey Goblins, the Trains series, and many others.


Above is my code, when I run it i am returned with a struct for c1 - c8, intentionally not including a c3 term. However, the solution is only zeros. I realize that this is valid for this system however I am trying to get a result with the symbolic variables of L,K2,K1,al included in the solution for each coefficient c1-c8. When I convert the system into matrix form of AX=b the determinant of A is nonzero and the solution vector b is zero. I am wondering if that could be causing the issue. Thanks in advance.
If you write the system in the form A*x = b, the matrix A is full rank, yet the right hand side is all zero.
Sorry. Basic linear algebra here. There exists only ONE solution to your problem. It is the all zero solution. Nothing you can do will yield a different solution, if the situation is as I have described it. I'm not sure I would say anything caused this result, at least not beyond linear algebra 101.
Why do I say there is no solution as you want? A square matrix that is full rank means that NO non-trivial linear combination of the columns will produce a zero vector. Yet, you are looking for a linear combination of the columns of A that results in b, a zero vector. (Think about what it means to multiply the matrix A by a vector x.) So the only solution is the trivial one: all zeros. It is unique.


So…Does it matter which school you go to?
I love this list! Pretty funny putting Reggie Love on there!
Don't forget Gen. Jim Jones (National Security Advisor) – Georgetown (played forward for the Hoyas b-ball team).

Q: How to sendMail using nodemail and smtp transport? I have new user registration once i get user detail from client i am sending email to group to grant permission to user , Below code is throwing exception any idea what is implemented wrong ?
I have pasted error in question.
Mailer.js
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');

var MAIL_SERVER_URL = '127.0.0.0';

//establish the transporter
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
    host: MAIL_SERVER_URL,
    port: 80,
    connectionTimeout: 60000,
}));

var Mailer = {
      options: function (mailOptions) {
        mailOptions.to = 'group@gmail.com';
        mailOptions.text = mailOptions.auid + ''+ 'requested access for modeler';
        console.log('mailOptions',mailOptions);
        transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) {
                    if (error) {
                        return console.log(error);
                    } else {
                        console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
                    }
        });
      }
}

module.exports = Mailer;

Error
{ [Error: connect EACCES 127.0.0.0:25]
  code: 'ECONNECTION',
  errno: 'EACCES',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.0',
  port: 80,
  command: 'CONN' }

A: Your error output is telling you that nodemailer cannot access the SMTP server at 127.0.0.0 on port 25.
Your implementation of nodemailer using SMTP looks good assuming the mailOptions getting passed in has a from property. You can read more about SMTP through nodemailer in the docs.
let nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

let MAIL_SERVER_URL = '127.0.0.0';
let smtp = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: MAIL_SERVER_URL,
    connectionTimeout: 60000
});

module.exports = {
    options: (mailOptions) => {
        let email = {
            from: 'from@test.com',
            to: 'group@gmail.com',
            subject: 'yourEmailSubject'
            text: `${mailOptions.auid} requested access for modeler`
        };
        smtp.sendMail(email, (err, info) => {
            if (err)
                console.log(err);
            else
                console.log(`Message sent: ${info.response}`);

        });
    }
};

A:
SMTP mail send using xoauth

var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
                service: "Gmail",
                auth: {
                  type: "OAuth2",
                  user: credential.email,
                  clientId: credential.clientId,
                  clientSecret: credential.clientSecret,
                  refreshToken: credential.refreshToken,
                },
              });

 smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions);

Accomplishments and Updates
Charge-X
The future of transportation is electric vehicles (EVs), Governor Brown of California has taken action to lay the foundation for the future by setting a target of 1.5 million EVs on the road by 2025. Sacramento was the recipient of $44 Million in investment from VW lending to an increased amount of capital in the EV sector. Currently half of all EVs sold in the US are sold in California and the market for EVs nationwide is continuing to grow. The market share of EVs has grown from less than 1% a few years ago to greater than 2% today.
With the growth of EVs Californians have developed a problem which is, Where do they charge their EVs? The growing demand for charging stations has placed a significant strain on the charging infrastructure. EV drivers are continually finding themselves looking for spots to charge constantly because they don't want to be caught with low power or at a low powered charge station forcing them to spend several hours charging. A regional company, Charge-X wants to support the transition to EVs by bringing the Tesla Experience to EV charging.
What is the Tesla experience? There are currently four ways people buy their kwh from charging stations.
Level one: your typical wall outlet that gives you ~4.5 miles per hour of charging
Level two: which can deliver up to 7.2 kwh to your car for 26 miles per hour
Level three: Known as DC fast chargers most places limit your time to half an hour or about 90 miles in that time.
Level 4: Also, known as the Tesla Supercharger it is the Gold Standard with 120 kwh chargers giving Tesla owners 120 miles in just 20 min.
Tesla not only delivers the most power per charging station, but also is able to accommodate the most cars close to 10 stations on average. Charge-X wants to help all EV users have the efficiency of the Tesla Charging, while illuminating the "white glove service".Tesla puts 10+ charging stations out delivering more than 120 kwh to a charging tesla. Charge-X wants to do even better, they want multi-charging stations that could be capable of delivering more than 120 kwh with services to help drivers relax while they wait.
The founder of Charge-X, Bill Northup, is reaching out to local utilities, air districts and EV enthusiasts to bring his solution to reality. Working with various groups Charge-X hopes to help push out large groups of charging stations. Agencies like SMUD, City Governments, other regional utilities, and state boards, have stepped in to help put in EV chargers by funding them, but there has been no equivalent stepping up in the private sector to fill this demand. Why? Margins on energy (just like gasoline) are small. So to justify installing charging stations their needs to be high volume kwh sold.
If you want to learn more about Charge-X contact Bill Northrup at Bill.Northrup@Charge-X.com

Lisbon was elected one of the best 21 places to work in the future
Author By gdeveloper Categories Updates
In the age of automation, algorithms and artificial intelligence, Cognizant has elected Lisbon as one of the best 21 places to work in the future
Over the last years, Cognizant has released multiple reports describing what jobs of the future will consist of. Within the age of automation, algorithms and artificial intelligence, a lot of new positions are coming up, and there are places in the world most likely to shelter them.
The American technology consultant company has recently elected 21 places around the world considered to be hotbeds of innovation, as well as affordable and enjoyable places to live in.
Lisbon was one of the cities recognized as a must-live aspirational tech innovator. Not only the Portuguese start-up ecosystem has been growing sharply, turning Lisbon into one of the biggest start-up hubs in Europe, as it is also easy to have access to private capital in the country, which is an important concern for investors and entrepreneurs. Foreign investment is booming in Lisbon and it tends to continue in this direction.
2020 was a year where we learned we could work from almost anywhere in the world and have the same, or even better performance. Portugal has become a magnet for the growing era of talented digital nomads since last year. Proof of that is the election of Portugal as the perfect hotspot for digital nomads.

Live in Sofia and eat out? Then you must be as tired as I am from largely advertised new steakhouses that offer medium quality meat, and Italian restaurants which claim to have it all figured out but serve the same old as everyone else. If this sounds familiar, say no more – I completely understand you! And as a matter of fact, you came to the right post on the right website.
I'd like to introduce to your attention a restaurant in Sofia, where you can actually enjoy food for all your senses that is actually fancy. Yup, for real.
You may have heard about this concept, but in case, you haven't – it is a dinner during which you do not see your food. You are supposed to enjoy it solely with the sensors in your mouth. In this particular case (as the restaurant wasn't built especially for this kind of events) you are blindfolded and your servant for the evening takes care of you, whatever it is that you may want (within reason of course, and no, they don't enter the bathroom with you).
Ellie and I, along with few more people, entered the restaurant at 7 in the evening. We were given masks and taken to our table. The waiters made sure we were all seated well and started serving us the meals, dish after dish, providing us with detailed instructions on how each one should be eaten. The real fun begun when we started guessing what was it that we eat (the menu is a secret).
Since this event is usually held in support of the only dogs training school for blind people in Sofia, the main idea is to be able to imagine what life would be in darkness. I find this admirable, but I don't want to go down Sad Street, so this post won't describe the feeling or loosing your sight. In reality, being blindfolded and fed gourmet food is exciting and somewhat intimate in a very interesting way.
This is the time to stop and thank the boys and girls of restaurant Talents: your hands were so soft! Your service made the experience absolutely beautiful!
And now that you know that we're talking about restaurant Talents, here is some information about this place that I bet you'll like.
Talents restaurant is a school, operated 100% by the students and teachers of HRC culinary academy. Why would you care? Because people are there to learn how to provide the best service ever. And they most certainly do! If you ever doubted the customer service received in Bulgaria (which, to be honest, should be doubted) this place will completely shift your opinion in the opposite direction.
But that's not all. While I cannot disclose with you the menu of the event Dinner in the Dark (I don't want to spoil your experience), I can tell you about some other dishes that I've had in Talents. Here's a hint: if you want to impress your Bulgarian girlfriend, take her there – this place is quite unique!
In restaurant Talents, they bake their own bread and it's a killer! You get a portion served before your meal to tease all your senses. Well played, Talents, it works!
This is my all-time favorite! When I tried the Nutella ice cream I knew I would like it. The corn one, however, swept me off my feet! I cannot describe this deliciousness in words – you absolutely have to try it yourself!
Whatever form you get served salmon in, you'll love it. If you like fish of course. They have this amazing sauce that my mouth recognizes as Jack Daniel's sauce (and I have no clue what they call it in Talents) which adds an amazing flavor making you slap your hands while restraining yourself from licking that plate!
One of the things I was served in Talents once was oxtail. I hope you know what this is because we had no idea before trying it. Surprisingly, it was so delicious it melted in our mouths leaving only beer cravings after it.
Whiskey – great! Caramel – great! Pudding – great! What's there not to like about it!
But in all seriousness, this is the perhaps the best dessert we have ever tried. Only the popcorns added to it had about 7 different ingredients (including bacon & chili pepper).
Are you convinced you have to try this place already? I thought you were. Head off to their Facebook page to follow the events organized and make sure you try a Dinner in the Dark at least once in your life!
Oxtail! Omg, I have actually tried a soup with oxtails at "Pod Lipite". It was quite the treat – they had been boiling the soup for 6-7 hours in advance..
I could never possibly be fasting, but I applaud you! Just wondering: you do know that George's day is this Friday, right? Don't tell me you will still be fasting..

Toy Story, Pixar's first feature film, was initially imagined as a television special. After the film's path led it into theaters, the studio's focus turned to releasing films theatrically. After the success of the Cars Toons shorts, Pixar has decided to revisit the idea of a TV-special. Toy Story OF TERROR!, a half-hour special scheduled to air in tandem with the Halloween season, is the studio's first attempt at a project fully inspired by the genre of horror. At the D23 Expo this past weekend, the first 10 minutes was shown and an air date was announced. Read my thoughts after the break!
The D23 Expo is billed as "The Ultimate Disney Fan Event" for a reason. Essentially a convention that stretches through all branches of Disney, including Disney Animation, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney Consumer Products, and Disney Parks, the 3-day event provides attendees a look at the past and an exclusive look forward to see what is coming. Tens of thousands of people flocked to the 2011 show, which is the last time the Expo was held (it happens every two years). You have the chance to attend as well, and if you want discounted tickets time is running out!

Man held in wife's alleged abuse
Lunenburg husband arrested; charged with terrorizing woman
Cliff Clark, cclark@sentinelandenterprise.com
LUNENBURG — After at least two years of enduring — and documenting with photos and videos — repeated assaults and death threats by her husband, his wife walked into the Police Department in late June to report the alleged abuse.
And after over a week of interviews and submissions of photos showing the repeated bruisings and video recordings of his anger, Matthew Moeckel, 35, of Harris Avenue, was arrested and then arraigned in Fitchburg District Court Tuesday on 28 charges related to the alleged abuse, according to court and police records.
During the arraignment, Moeckel was ordered held without bail pending the outcome of a dangerousness hearing set for July 12, according to court documents.
Her story, according to an investigative report documenting her accounts of the alleged abuse, began in early June when she was speaking with an assistant district attorney about an upcoming domestic abuse case involving her husband.
While speaking with the ADA, the 30-year-old victim told him that she had been documenting the physical and mental abuse by her husband during the two years and submitted 46 photos and four videos.
During the interviews with police, the alleged victim reported 14 separate dates when she was allegedly abused by her husband, starting in March 2017. She also had corroborating photos from her cellphones that had been examined by investigators that included time stamps of when each photo was taken.
The alleged victim told police that on March 22, her husband was texting another person when he became angry. For reasons not detailed in the investigative report, he allegedly walked into the living room, grabbed her by her neck and threw her into a bar.
She struck the bar with her right eye causing a bruise, which she photographed in which heavy bruising under her right eye was evident.
The alleged victim, however, did not report what happened to police.
The next incident, according to the report, occurred on March 11, 2018, when Moeckel became angry, again for reasons not detailed in the report, and grabbed her neck, picked her up, put her on the floor and pinned her to the ground with his knees while still holding on to her neck.
Moeckel, the woman told police, then began squeezing her neck so tightly she said "my eyes felt like they were going to come out of head from the pressure and I couldn't get any air out."
In June 2018, police were called to the woman's Harris Avenue home for a report of a domestic abuse situation. When police arrived, according to the report, they noticed broken planters in the front yard and the victim "visibly upset." Despite that, the woman did not want to speak to police and asked them to leave.
During her interviews with police, she told them that on June 30, 2018, to two began arguing and then Moeckel grabbed her right arm and twisted it for several seconds while screaming at her that he would kill her and wanted her to die. She also had a photo showing bruising on her right arm.
Another incident allegedly occurred at the home of Moeckel's parents on July 2, 2018, when the two began arguing and he allegedly grabbed her arms and chest. Photos submitted, according to the report, showed heavy bruising on her arms and what appeared to be a handprint bruise on one of her breasts.
Two weeks later, according to the report, Moeckel again became enraged in the house, then walked outside with the woman following. He then allegedly ripped a metal entrance gate out of the front yard and threw it at her.
After that, he allegedly began ripping flowers out of the ground and breaking flower planters while yelling "I'm going to kill you, "I hate you" and called her an expletive.
The woman, according to the report, replaced the flowers and planters only to have Moeckel allegedly tear them out of the yard and break the planters again.
During another argument several weeks later, according to the report, Moeckel, after being locked out of the house, picked up a yard ottoman and threw it at the victim who was standing in a window. She was hit by flying glass, but otherwise injured.
In another in October 2018, which was video recorded, Moeckel can be heard, after an argument about financial issues, threatening to commit suicide, wanting a divorce, and threatening to kill his wife.
In May 2019, there was an argument followed by Moeckel allegedly grabbing her arms leaving behind heavy bruising, according to the report, that the victim also photographed.
During another dispute in May, Moeckel texted his wife again and threatened to kill her and then texted her a photo of a man and at the bottom of it had the words, "I WILL CUT YOU."
There were two more incidents in May in the report.
In one, Moeckel allegedly threw a ceramic cup at her, missing, but covering her with the broken pieces and in the other, he, while standing in the kitchen of the home, flipped the dining room table toward her, and once again threatened to kill her.
After flipping the table, he allegedly grabbed her again and held her down on a couch. He then got up and allegedly threw a plate, like a "frisbee," at her that punched a hole in a wall.
She took photos of all of the damage to the home and her, according to the report.
There was no explanation as to why the victim didn't report the abuse to the police before in the report.
On all the allegations, Moeckel was charged with 14 counts of assault and battery of a household or family member, seven counts of threat to commit a crime, three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and one count each of intimidation of a witness and strangulation or suffocation, according to court documents.


You write for teens and adults. As your career builds, how do you manage your projects and deadlines (as well the whole being-a-parent thing)?
I admit, it hasn't always been easy balancing both the YA and adult fiction careers. The opportunity to write my first published adult novel, THE UNINVITED, fell into my lap after an editor at HarperCollins read and loved my first YA novel, IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS. I never expected to be writing two books a year, and I'm not certain I can continue to keep up this pace much longer. But for now I'm doing my best to make everything work . . . and to still take care of my kids and remember that I have a husband!
The tool that saves me the most is my Google calendar. When I look at all that's due in the next six months, I find myself hurtling toward chaos and panic attacks (the latter of which I've started experiencing since becoming a published writer). However, if I list everything that's due on my calendar and focus on what I should be working on day-by-day instead of month-by-month, it helps keep everything under control.
In 2015 Nova Ren Suma wrote an excellent blog post in which she said that she asked herself, "What kind of author do I really want to become?" (http://distraction99.com/2015/08/08/the-surprises-the-failures-the-new-chapters-in-this-author-life/) It got me thinking, what type of author do I want to become?
In some ways I'm already the writer I wanted to be: I'm writing full time, traveling a bit for promotions, and I have fans and literary awards. However . . . I don't have much of a life aside from cranking out the books and making sure the kids have what they need. Family vacations are difficult, if not impossible, because I always have something due. The deadlines are intense, plus I have a problem of telling people "no," which makes the deadlines compete with other deadlines.
Ideally, I would love to write only one book a year--maybe even one book every other year. I'm worried about burning out and losing the sheer joy of writing that's been a part of me all of my life. I'm worried about my quality suffering. Plus I'm interested in teaching through writers-in-residency programs, so I can make a difference in the lives of young writers; so I'm not so focused on my own work 100% of the time. I would also like to be able to read more books, something I don't get to do much at all. Reading and exploring the world around me always refills the creative well, and that's just not happening when I'm parked at my desk seven days of the week.
The reality is that most authors can't afford to write full-time unless they're constantly selling and working. Financial security and the fear of never getting published again (publication is never guaranteed, sadly) fuels most of our needs to continually produce new material. However, I'm looking at the future and finding ways to cut back, so I don't lose myself in this crazy, challenging business.

Mistrial declared in bellwether Fosamax case
by Calisha Myers |
U.S. District Judge John Keenan followed through on his word today and declared a mistrial in the bellwether case against Merck over the drugmaker's osteoporosis drug Fosamax. The decision came after several days of tense jury deliberations and the urging of one juror who complained that disagreements over how to decide the case resulted in a chair being thrown at her. The judge gave the jury time to cool their jets, but promised to declare a mistrial if the jury could not come to an agreement by the close of business today.
The jury's forewoman again reported today that the jury remained deadlocked--apparently in a 7 to 1 vote in Merck's favor. In a note to the judge on Wednesday, the 7 in lockstep lamented that the dissenting juror was not following the court's order as she felt "that 'if' Merck knew about the risks that that is enough 'proof' that Fosamax caused Mrs. Boles injury," the Wall Street Journal reports. The note went on to say that the juror "feels that they have found evidence that supports their view about the risks of Fosamax, but has found no evidence of proof that Fosamax caused her injury."
The dissenting juror wrote in a separate note on Wednesday, "I need a police escort out of here--and I am afraid to come back because I can not in good conscience vote for a case because of threats."
For its part, Merck said it's prepared to retry the case. "We continue to believe that the company provided appropriate and timely information about Fosamax to consumers and to the medical, scientific and regulatory communities," the company said in a statement. The drugmaker's shares rose 2 percent in afternoon trading.

No, it is not possible. You can only update a single table using a MERGE statement.


According to an article in NJ Today, the Hugs for Brady Foundation, founded by Sherrie and Michael Wells in July 2010 after the death of their child, has committed $100,000 to the Hugs for Brady Young Investigator Award in pediatric oncology/hematology for Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ).
The Hugs for Brady Foundation has always been active in providing pediatric cancer patients certain comforts of home while they undergo treatment, but now it aims to make a difference "behind-the-scenes" as well, by providing scientists with the resources they need to research treatment and cures. The $100,000 provides a two-year grant to a young academic scientist or physician who exhibits exceptional promise and ability for innovative pediatric cancer research.
In their continued supportive efforts, the Hugs for Brady Foundation is sponsoring a Twilight 5K & Family Fun Run on April 28, 2012 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at South Brunswick High School in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.
The news that their child has been diagnosed with cancer is devastating to a parent. It is the hope that through devoted research and hard work, children will be diagnosed and treated earlier during the disease process; thereby positively affecting their prognosis. Only through accurate and timely diagnosis and appropriate and effective treatment will a child be afforded a better chance at being a cancer survivor.
If your child has suffered as the result of a healthcare provider's failure to diagnose or accurately, effectively or timely treat their cancer, you may have cause for civil action. To speak to one of the experienced New Jersey failure to diagnose cancer lawyers at Blume Forte about your legal rights and potential options, call us at (973) 635-5400.

UNFRIENDED DARK WEB movie review

Movie Review: UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB
One plot twist too many, maybe
By ABBIE BERNSTEIN / Staff Writer
Posted: July 20th, 2018 / 02:12 AM
UNFRIENDED DARK WEB poster | ©2018 Universal Pictures
Stars: Colin Woodell, Betty Gabriel, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Stephanie Nogueras, Andrew Lees, Savira Windyani, Connor Del Rio, Chelsea Alden, Douglas Tait
Writer: Stephen Susco
Director: Stephen Susco
Distributor: Universal Pictures
UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB shares with 2015's UNFRIENDED the still fairly novel technique of having the entire movie play out over Facebook, Skype and video camera feeds. The two films also share the Blumhouse horror imprimatur. However, where the original UNFRIENDED was supernatural – literally, about a ghost in the machine – UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB concerns the possibilities of attracting the attention of some very unwholesome humans on the Internet.
At the beginning, we see that Matius (Colin Woodell) is trying to refine some voice-to-text translation software that will allow him to better communicate with his girlfriend Amaya, who is deaf (as is Stephanie Nogueras, who plays her). Amaya is losing patience with Matias, who seems to have more interest in his invention than in simply learning how to communicate with her in sign language. It's Game Night for Matias's friends. Conspiracy theorist A.J. (Connor Del Rio) would rather everyone came over to his place, but everybody else is settled in for the night and prefers to play online. The group also includes happy couple Serena (Rebecca Rittenhouse and Nari (Betty Gabriel), deejay Lexx (Savira Windyani), and long-distance Londoner Damon (Andrew Lees).
We learn more about the Matias/Amaya relationship, Serena's fears for her ailing mother, and A.J.'s concerns about how social media is really a trap for the unwary (even though he uses it to virtually hang out). All of this means that by the time something starts happening, we're grateful for the jolt.
This comes courtesy of Matius's new laptop. He is not the original owner, and someone has left a whole bunch of extremely creepy videos on the hard drive. Then Matius unwisely reaches out to one of the people trying to contact the laptop's previous owner at about the same time said owner furiously messages Matius, demanding the computer back. Because Matius is in the midst of communicating with his buddies, they soon realize something is up and weigh in on what he should do. And then it all starts hitting a little too close to home.
Director/writer Stephen Susco does a bang-up job with the format, setting up a storyline so unsettling that he makes us fear how much we're going to see in some really brutal scenarios. He uses the power of suggestion to keep us on edge – UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB earns its R rating not through copious bloodshed (though it has its moments), but more via what it implies is either just out of frame or just about to happen (and of course the frequent use of certain words).
Susco gets fine performances from the actors – Betty Gabriel, so great in GET OUT, is especially good. There's something poetically karmic about the whole crisis essentially occurring because of Matius's entirely lifelike and exasperating refusal to do the real-time work of getting to know Amaya on her terms, and there's decent story logic as to why the characters don't simply shut down their devices.
However, there seems to be one plot twist too many. Or maybe there isn't – UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB is being released with two different endings. Without seeing both versions, it's impossible to know where the alternative "ending" begins and whether it affects the overall arc. (Apparently, it's also hard to find out in advance which theatre is playing which climax.) Suffice to say that in at least one version of the movie, there's a shift that raises so many questions that it's enough to pull someone out of the story. Since UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB was working its disturbing wiles just fine without this turn of events, it feels like Susco takes a wrong turn here.
Otherwise, UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB works as non-supernatural horror that starts slow but becomes truly unnerving as it weaves its traps.

The Bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade in 1999, Reconsidered – PETER LEE
When I was in Beijing during the protests in 1989, a middle-aged man came up to me and asked, "Couldn't America send some B-52s here and…" and he made a swooping motion with his hand.
Ten years later, on May 7, 1999, the American bombers did show up.
Instead of showering freedom ordnance on China's dictators, however, they dropped five bombs on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.
As to why this happened, the United States has always declared it was an accident.
A lot of people in China believe otherwise and there is a good amount of evidence to support their view.
The bombing of the embassy was a wake-up call for the PRC leadership, which decided it urgently needed a doctrine and capabilities beyond its strategic nuclear deterrent to handle disagreements with the United States that might acquire a military dimension.
It was also a propaganda godsend for the regime.
Chinese demonstrators were back on the streets, but protesting against the United States instead of against the PRC regime's deficiencies in Western democratic values.
Americans and the U.S. media had a hard time getting used to this unfavorable turn in some popular Chinese attitudes away from 1989 democracy-love, blaming the ill-feeling on the suppression of news of President Clinton's apology.
In the July 2001 China Journal, Peter Hays Gries of Ohio State University analyzed letters and submissions to China's Guangming Daily and characterized the protests as "genuine and understandable" and largely unrelated to unawareness of the presidential apology.
On the ten-year anniversary of the bombing, China Digital Times linked to an interview with a student who identified the bombing as the trigger for a sea-change in the worldview of at least some Chinese:

Danish collective Superflex have filled Tate Modern's turbine hall with swings - and the installation could soon be coming to a street near you.
11 years ago the Turbine Hall hosted slides; now the latest group of artists to take on the challenge of filling the space has chosen to create a new twist on another piece of playground equipment.
Jakob Fenger, Bjørnstjerne Christiansen and Rasmus Nielsen's One Two Three Swing! installation comprises modular sets of three-seated swings connected by orange bars.
The artists hope to encourage people to interact with their neighbours in unexpected ways through the shared experience of playing on the swings.
The orange bars are reminiscent of the orange lamp-posts that mark the walking route between Southwark Underground Station and Tate Modern but curators say the visual link between the two is a happy coincidence.
Tate Modern boss Frances Morris said the installation "connects the Turbine Hall to the landscape of Southwark". There is already one set of swings outside the gallery and planned locations elsewhere in Bankside include Borough Market, Farnham Place and Price's Street.
Visitors to the Turbine Hall are invited to suggest locations where they'd like to see further swings installed. Components for the swings are assembled on a production line at the eastern end of the Turbine Hall.
At the western end of the Turbine Hall a mirrored pendulum swings above visitors' heads, said to represent a state of apathy.
The installation has been curated by Donald Hyslop, Tate's head of regeneration and community partnerships, who said that Superflex's work "brings local, national and international together in perfect symmetry".
Tate's director of exhibitions Achim Borchardt-Hume described One Two Three Swing! as "the most intelligent piece of fun I've seen for a long time".


Brad Mowen is a master barber with 28 years of experience at the barber chair, a decade of which has been at Rudy's Barbershop, a company as much a part of Seattle's landscape as coffee and Mt. Rainier. When Brad's not providing some of Seattle's finest haircuts at Rudy's in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, he's touring the world with influential band The Accused. Brad is as humble and classy as he is talented.

The world's premier particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has an impressive circumference of 27 miles (43 kilometers).
But its potential successor, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), described in a new study by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), would dwarf it — both physically, with a circumference of 62 miles (100 kilometers), and in terms of raw power, with 10 times the atom-smashing power.
Like the LHC, the new particle accelerator's purpose would be to probe the mysteries of exotic particles like the Higgs boson, which CERN scientists using the LHC first observed in 2012 after physicists had speculated about its existence for decades.
The FCC would use powerful rings of magnets to accelerate matter to mind-boggling speeds, then smash them into each other so that scientists could observe the collision. The goal, according to Gizmodo, would be to study poorly understood phenomena such as dark matter.
Not everybody is on board with the idea of building a huge new particle accelerator.

Coordinate efforts to improve children's well-being, says Wan Azizah
November 27, 2022 - by admin - Leave a Comment
KUALA LUMPUR: Efforts to improve the well-being of children need to be coordinated by all parties, starting with the family unit, the community and the country because they must always be protected, said the prime minister's wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (pix).
Wan Azizah said this in her speech when officiating the National Children's Day Celebration 2022 to honour children and their rights in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child here today.
She said Children's Day should be an effective starting point to acknowledge, promote and celebrate children's rights, adding that it should be translated into efficient actions and debates that ultimately become the basis for a more prosperous life for children.
The former deputy prime minister also called on government agencies to establish close cooperation through the sharing of resources and data to improve efficiency in service delivery related to the interests of children.
"I also believe that effective communication is important as most issues related to children cut across ministries and departments. This strategic cooperation can also be further expanded with the involvement of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the private sector, communities and so on," she added.
Also present were the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development secretary-general Datuk Dr Maziah Che Yusoff, its deputy secretary-general (Strategic) Chua Choon Hwa and JKM director-general Datuk Shaharuddin Abu Sohot.
JKM has implemented various programmes and activities throughout the country in conjunction with the celebration themed 'Inclusion and diversity for every child' starting June 7. – Bernama
