\section{Magnetization}
In our opinion one of the open questions is the value of the magnetization
$$ m= {1 \over L^3 } \sum_i \sigma_i $$
at the critical point. It was argued in \cite{AAS} that $m$ is discontinuous at $J=J_c $,
contrary to what is usually believed, while \cite{MF} argue that $m$ is continuous.

We computed the absolute value of the ground state magnetization $m_c$ at $J=J_c$ for sizes
$ 11 \le L \le  200 $, and the variation of the ground state magnetization when we change the strength of the
ferromagnetic coupling. We first report the results for $m_c$ averaged over the samples, $ \overline{m}_c $.
They are shown in table 1. We see that $\overline{m}_c$ is very large and decreases only slowly  with the lattice size.
It still remains large even for $L=200$.

The question is what is its value at the infinite volume limit. We fit the data for $ L_{min} \le L \le 200 $.
It turns out it is not easy to extrapolate to $ L \to \infty $.  The results one gets depend on the hypothesis one makes when extrapolating.
Different scenarios for approaching the thermodynamic limit can be considered:
power law behaviour, $\overline{m}_c \sim L^{-{\beta / \nu }} $, logarithmic behaviour, $\overline{m}_c \sim (\log L)^{ - \alpha} $, or
convergence to a constant $\overline{m}_c \sim const. + L^{ - p }$.
The results also depend on whether one includes, or not, subdominant corrections,  and on the choice of $ L_{min} $.
We have tried several scenarios we will detail bellow.

\begin{enumerate}
\item We assume that
$$ \overline{m}_c \sim a_0 L^{- \beta / \nu }    $$
i.e. that $ \overline{m}_c$ is zero at the thermodynamic limit and that
the subdominant corrections are negligible. We obtain a value of $\beta /\nu \simeq 0.013 $ but observe that there are strong
finite size corrections. This is manifest by monitoring the quality of the fit. We obtain a very large $\chi^2$ per degree of freedom
if we keep small sizes. It is only after removing data for sizes smaller than $L=30$ that the fit becomes acceptable.
For $L_{min} \ge 30$ we obtain a value $ \beta / \nu =  0.01335  (40) $ which is stable
with respect of the choice of $ L_{min} $. Using the same assumptions MF
found $ \beta / \nu =  0.011  (3) $, compatible with us.
Next we include also subdominant corrections,
\begin{equation}
\overline{m}_c \sim a_0 L^{- \beta / \nu } (1+ a_1 L^{-\omega})\; .
\label{Mag1}
\end{equation}
A fit of the data
from $L_{min}=11$ up to $L_{max}=200$ gives the values $\beta/\nu = 0.01335 (7)$
with $\omega \simeq 1.5 - 2.0$ and a $ \chi^2 < 1.0 $ per degree of freedom.
Again the value of $ \beta / \nu$ is very stable with respect to the choice of $ L_{min} $.
Notice that the exponent $\omega$  we obtained is much larger than the one found
by FMM \cite{FMM}, i.e. $\omega = 0.52 (11)$.

$\beta/\nu$ is extremely small. As MF observe, one would need to go to
$ 10^{21} < L < 10^{38} $ to see a factor of 2 reduction in the magnetization at the critical
point! If this were true it would raise the question of whether the thermodynamic
limit is only of mathematical, and not physical, relevance.

\item Because we found a very small $\beta / \nu $ we tried also to fit under the assumption of
zero magnetization and a logarithmic approach to the infinite volume limit, including
subdominant corrections.

\begin{equation}
\overline{m}_c \sim {a_0 \over (\log L)^\alpha} (1+ a_1 L^{-\omega})\; .
\label{Mag2}
\end{equation}
This fit gives $\alpha \simeq  0.1$ and $\omega \simeq 0.5$. The quality of the fit is always very good for any value of $L_{min}$
with a small $\chi^2$ per degree of freedom. Note that with this scaling form of the magnetization, the scaling correction exponent
$\omega$ takes a value very close to the one of FMM \cite{FMM}.  This fact makes this fit attractive to us.
Notice the very small value of the exponent $ \alpha $, i.e. $\overline{m}_c \sim (\log L)^{-0.1} $!!

\item Finally we tested the hypothesis that $ \overline{m}_c$ approaches a value different from zero
when $ L \to \infty $.
We found a better fit to the data by imposing the obvious condition that $ m \le 1. $
 This is done by the change of variables $ \overline{ m } = \tanh(tm) $. We assume
\begin{equation}
\label{fit}
tm(L)=tm_0+a_0 L^{-p}+ a_1 L^{-(p+q)} \; .
\end{equation}

\begin{figure}[t]

\caption{$\chi^2/n.d.f.$ versus $tm_0$ for a fit of $tm(L)$ to the form Eq.(\ref{fit}) with data in the range
$L=L_{min}-200$ and $L_{min}$ shown in the figure.
}
\label{xima}
\end{figure}

This fit is also excellent from $L_{min} =11 $ to  $L=200 $.
For $L_{min} = 11$ we find $ tm_0 = 1.184 $ or $ m_0 = \tanh(tm_0) = 0.829 $ with $ p = 0.192 $,
$ q = 1.389 $ and the $\chi^2 $ per degree of freedom equal to $0.884$. If we do not include the small sizes, i.e. $L_{min}=11$, the
data are overfitted and there is no well define minimum of the $\chi^2$. This is illustrated in figure~\ref{xima}.
From the scaling relation
$ \overline{m}_c  \sim L^{-\beta /\nu } $, we get that the magnetization critical exponent is
$ \beta = 0 $.

The discontinuity of $ m $ at $J_c$ does not necessary imply a first order transition.
Because the critical exponent $ \nu $ and the other critical exponents we will measure later in
this paper take non-trivial values, we argue that the transition is in fact second order with
$ \beta = 0 $. In the case of a first order transition, we would expect a bimodal distribution
of the ground state magnetization at the transition point. We found that this not the case,
in agreement with FMM. They measured the Binder ratio at the transition
and found $ \overline{m^4} / (\overline{m^2} )^2 = 1.0011 $, i.e. the probability distribution
of the magnetization is a delta function.

\end{enumerate}

We conclude that if we limit ourselves to the data of table 1 it is not possible to decide with reasonable
certainty whether the magnetization
at the critical point $m_0=0$ or not and how the $ L \to \infty $ limit is approached.
We are inclined to prefer the logarithmic approach  because it gives a value of
$ \omega $ compatible with FMM.

We next studied  the
variation of the magnetization $m $ for small changes of the  ferromagnetic
coupling $ J$ around $J_c$ for different lattice sizes $ L $.
We will denote in the following  $ dJ= J_c-J $.   For every sample we compute
ground state magnetizations for different values of $dJ $. (Positive $ dJ$ corresponds to $ J < J_c $.)
We denote by $ dm $ the difference of the magnetizations, $ dm(dJ,L) = m_c-m(J,L) $ where $ m_c $ is here
the magnetization of the sample at $ J=J_c$.
We extract the derivative of $ m $ at $J_c $ for size $L$ by
fitting
$$    { \overline{  dm(dJ,L) } \over dJ }  = a(L) + b(L) d J + c(L) (d J)^2\; . $$
We define
$$   \overline{\frac{\partial m (L)} {\partial J }}      = a(L)\; .  $$
We fit the $L $ dependance of $a(L)$ and find $a(L) \simeq L^{1 / \nu }$ with $ 1 / \nu =0.7 $.
This means that for $J \sim J_c $ and $ J < J_c $ the ground state magnetization
decreases as $ \simeq L^{1 / \nu }$.

We show in figure~\ref{xim} the whole probability distribution $ P(dm,dJ,L)$ of $ dm(dJ)$
for different values of $dJ $ and sizes $ L $.
$ P(dm,dJ,L) $ is non-trivial and with an excellent approximation it obeys the finite size scaling relation
 $$ P(dm,dJ,L) = P(dm,dJ L^{1 / \nu })\; . $$
Not only
$\overline{ {\partial m }/ {\partial J }}  \sim L^{1 / \nu } $ and becomes infinite in the
infinite volume limit, but the whole probability
distribution $ P(dm,dJ,L) $ scales as a function of $ dJ L^{1 / \nu }\;  $.

 We also find a strong violation of self-averaging which is shown
to persist to  infinite volumes.

The excellent agreement with the finite size scaling
of $ P(dm,dJ,L) $ presented above and the additional finite size scaling analysis of
other quantities to be presented below, reinforces our confidence in the value of $J_c $.

\section{Magnetic susceptibility}

To compute the magnetic susceptibility at $J=J_c$, we apply in addition to the random fields a
very small uniform magnetic field $\delta h $. We compute the corresponding ground state
magnetizations $\overline{ m_k } $ for different values of $\delta h = \delta h_k $, $k=1,2, \cdots $ and make a fit
$\overline{ (m_k-m_c) } / \delta h_k =
\chi(L) + c_1(L)  \delta h_k  + c_2(L)  \delta h_k^2 $. $ m_c$ and $m_k$ are the magnetizations of the same sample
at $J=J_c$ and $\delta h = 0$ and $\delta h = \delta h_k $ respectively.
This is done for both signs of $\delta h $ and for
lattice sizes $ L=24,30,60,90,120,160 $. When  $ \delta h_k $ has the same sign as
$m_c$ we compute the magnetic susceptibility $\chi_+ (L) $. When  $\delta h_k $ has the
opposite sign of $m_c$ we compute $\chi_- (L)$ and the critical ratio
$r_c(L)= \overline{ \chi_-(L) / \chi_+(L) } $.
If the ground state magnetization at the phase transition is large and discontinuous, it
would have consequences for the behaviour of the magnetic susceptibility at the critical point.
A small uniform magnetic field $\delta h $ of the same sign as $m_c$ would change very little
the magnetization, which is already close to one, while a $\delta h $ of opposite sign would have a
large effect. The critical ratio $r_c(L) $ should be very large.

For $L \ge 24 $ we find that $\overline{\chi_+ (L)} $ and $ \overline{\chi_+ (L) } \sim L^{ \gamma / \nu} $ with
$ \gamma / \nu = 1.48 \ \pm 0.02 $.
These errors are purely statistical. The reduced $\chi^2 $ is very small even when including $L = 24 $ and there is
no need for subdominant corrections.
For finite temperatures the magnetic susceptibility is
$ \chi = \beta \sum_{i,j} < \sigma_i \sigma_j > - < \sigma_i > < \sigma_j > $.
At zero temperature $ < \sigma_i \sigma_j > - < \sigma_i > < \sigma_j > = 0 $ and
$ \beta $ is infinite and the above relation is not well defined.
For a Gaussian distribution of the random fields $ h_i $, it can be shown for finite temperatures,
by integrating by parts over the Gaussian distribution of the random fields,
that $ \overline{ \chi } \sim \sum_{i,j} \overline{< h_i \sigma_j > } $.
Assuming the validity of this relation down to zero temperature, FMM found
 $ \gamma / \nu =1.4847 \pm 0.0010 $,
in agreement with our value. We find this agreement very remarkable because the methods
of computing the exponent are so different.

\end{center}
\caption{Critical amplitude ratio for the magnetic susceptibility versus the linear size $L$.
}
\label{Rm}
\end{figure}
Figure~\ref{Rm} shows the critical amplitude ratio $r_c(L)$ for different volumes.
With a very good approximation $r_c(L) $ is $L$ independent as it should be.
We find $r_c(L) = 233.1 \pm 1.5 $ which is shown as a dashed line in the figure.
Notice the very large values of $r_c(L) $ which confirm our expectations.
We do not know of any other physical system with such large values of critical amplitude ratios.

We found that $\overline{ (m_k-m_c)} / \delta h_k $ is a very smooth function of $ \delta h_k $,
and was easy to fit with a polynomial in $ \delta h $.
This hides the fact that $ (m_k-m_c) $ is maximally non self averaging. In fact it has a bimodal distribution!
Only after averaging over samples does it becomes smooth.
We have computed the probability distribution $ P(dm,\delta h,L) $ of $ dm=  m_c-m_k $ for
different values of $\delta h$ and $L$. The left part of figure~\ref{Pdm1}
shows $ P(dm,\delta h,L) $ for $ L=60 $ and two different values of $\delta h$ as indicated in the plot.
For both values of $\delta h$, $ P(dm,\delta h,L) $ is a sum of two $\delta$ like functions,
one centred around $ dm= 0 $, i.e. small change of the ground state magnetization,  and
the other around $ dm= 2 $, i.e. complete reversal of the system. This feature is true
for all values of $\delta h$ we studied. Only the height of the two peaks changes with  $\delta h$!
It is remarkable that this happens in such a way that $\overline{ (m_k-m_c)} / \delta h_k $ is smooth and a continuous function of $\delta h$.

\caption{Distribution $P(dm,\delta h,L)$ for $L=60$ on the left and for two values of $\delta h$. On the right, the same
for $L=60$ and $120$ with  $\delta h = 0.45 L^{-1.48}$.
}
\label{Pdm1}
\end{figure}

In order to verify the volume dependance  of this violation of self averaging,
we performed a finite size scaling analysis.
The right part of figure~\ref{Pdm1}
shows  $ P(dm,\delta h,L ) $ for a fixed combination $ \delta h L^{\gamma/\nu}  $
for $ \delta h =0.3 $,
$ \gamma /\nu=1.48 $  and $ L= 60 $ and $ L= 120 $.
This shows that the whole probability distribution of sample to sample fluctuations
obeys finite size scaling, quite a novel result.
The bimodal nature of  $ P(dm,\delta h,L) $ is not a small size effect but seems to persist
to infinite volumes.

Although our estimation of critical exponents is compatible with previous results,
we think that our study of sample to sample fluctuations adds a new and
important insight into the nature of the phase transition.

This study of the magnetic susceptibility also provides information on the low energy
excited states. It has been proposed \cite{PATA} to add a small repulsion to the ground
state in order to find low lying excited states. Because $m_c $ is close to one,
a small $ \delta h $ opposite to  $m_c $ constitutes such a repulsion.
$ dm $ is a measure of the distance in configuration space between the ground state
and the first excited states.
Our calculation of $ P(dm,\delta h,L) $ provides information on their probability distribution.

It is usually assumed that the probability distribution $P(d)$ of the distance $d$ of the first excited state from the ground state
is narrow and can be described by a single parameter $\overline{d}$, the average over samples of $d$. This assumption
is important in the phenomenological scaling description of the phase transition in the 3DRFIM. We found that this assumption is not true.
We think that a more sophisticated analysis, which takes into account the bimodal nature of $ P(d)$, is needed in order to understand, using scaling arguments,
the properties of the phase transition.

We also computed the probability distribution $P(dm,\delta J,\delta h,L)$ of the change
of the magnetization $dm(dJ,\delta h )=m_c -m(J,\delta h )$, where
$ m(J,\delta h )$ is the ground state magnetization when, in addition to applying
a constant magnetic field $ \delta h  $, we change the ferromagnetic
coupling to $  J= J_c- dJ $. Figure~\ref{Pdm2} shows that there is a double finite size
scaling invariance, i.e. $P(dm,dJ ,\delta h,L) =
\tilde{P}(dm,dJ L^{1/\nu},\delta h L^{\gamma/\nu})$.
In contrast to previous figures, figure~\ref{Pdm2} includes both signs of $\delta h $ (the absolute value of $\delta h$ being the same), parallel and antiparallel
to the ground state magnetization.
$P(dm,d J ,\delta h,L) $ remains invariant when we simultaneously change the volume,
the ferromagnetic coupling and the value of the constant part of the magnetic field
in such a way to leave both $ dJ L^{1/\nu}$ and $ \delta h L^{\gamma/\nu}$ invariant.
The scaling function is highly non-trivial and illustrates again the very strong
violation of self-averaging and its persistance to the infinite volume limit.

\section{Specific heat}
We also studied the specific heat $ C $ at the phase transition.
We used a method very similar to the one for the magnetic susceptibility.
For every sample we computed the energy differences $ de_k = e_c -e_k $
where $e_c $ is the ground state energy of the sample at the critical point $J =J_c$
and $e_k $ the ground state energy at $J=J_k$. We measured $ de_k $ for several values of $J_k$, close to $J_c$.
Let $ dJ_k = J_c-J_k $. For every size $L$ we fitted
$$ \overline { de_k / dJ_k} = c_0(L) + c_1(L) dJ_k +c_2(l) dJ_k^2 \; ,$$
where $c_0(L)$ is the specific heat at size $L$.
Our data are very well described by $ c_0(L) = c_0(\infty) + a L^{-p } $,
For $ 30 \le L \le 120 $, we found
 $ c_0(\infty) = 2.848 \pm 0.001 $, $p = 0.663 \pm 0.036$ and $ a = 0.179 \pm 0.017 $.
 The $\chi^2 $ per degree of freedom is $0.06 $. Obviously there is
 no need for subdominant corrections.

The specific heat has been discussed at length by Hartmann and Young \cite{HY}.
Although they study smaller systems and their method
is very different from ours, their result is very similar.
They found  $ c_0(\infty) = 2.84 \pm 0.05 $, $p = 0.48 \pm 0.03$.
They point out that there are two possible interpretations of this result \cite{HY}.
One consists of interpreting $ c_0(\infty) $ as the regular part
of the specific heat with the singular part behaving as $ L^{\alpha / \nu } $
with $ \alpha / \nu = - 0.663 \pm 0.036  $, where $ \alpha   $ is the
specific heat exponent.
The second consists of considering the $ L^{-p }  $
term as a correction to scaling. We remark that, within error bars, $p = 1/ \nu$.
According to this interpretation, the specific heat exponent is $ \alpha = 0.0$.

Assuming our findings, i.e. $ \beta \simeq  0  $ where  $ \beta $ is the magnetization exponent, the value of the
magnetic susceptibility exponent  $ \gamma  / \nu =1.48 $ and $ \alpha = 0.0 $,
the scaling relation $ \alpha + 2 \beta + \gamma = 2  $ is satisfied within
the error bars. For this reason we conclude that $ \alpha = 0.0$.

\section{Discussion}

Most of our results agree with the previous simulations \cite{HY,MF,FMM}, provided one
takes into account the relation between critical exponents.
This is in particular the case for the magnetic susceptibility exponent which is
related to the correlation function exponents. This agreement
is very remarkable because our approach is very different from the previous approaches.
We measure $ \gamma / \nu $ directly, by applying a small magnetic field perturbation, while previous estimations are based on the
correlation exponent and the relation between exponents.
The same is true for the specific heat.

For the first time we present a detailed finite size scaling analysis of the
sample to sample fluctuations. Absence of self-averaging is not a finite
size artefact. Our analysis relies on the values of $ J_c $ and $ \nu $.
We did not estimate $ J_c $ and $ \nu $ ourselves but used the
 values obtained by the previous authors. The validity of finite size scaling of the
 fluctuations adds further confidence on the values of $ J_c $ and $ \nu $ obtained by these authors.

Our  most striking result is probably the bimodal  distribution of the size of low energy excitations.
This was found when, on top of the random fields, we applied
 very small translation invariant magnetic fields $\delta h $ of sign opposite
to the ground state magnetization.
These $\delta h $s play the role of a repulsion to the ground state.
We found that the probability distribution $P(dm)$ of the resulting
magnetization difference $dm=m_c - m( \delta h)   $ has a
double peak shape, one peak around $dm = 0$, and the other around $dm = 2$.
$dm = 2$ means complete reversal of the spins.
Because $ m \sim 1 $, $ dm $ measures the distance in configuration space to the ground state.
We found that $P(dm)$ obeys finite size scaling (see figure~\ref{xim}).
Imry-Ma type scaling arguments usually assume a continuous distribution of  the sizes of
the domains of the excited states. We found that there is no continuous distribution of  the sizes of
the domains of the excited states. Furthermore their probability distribution,
which obeys finite size scaling, violates self-averaging in a maximal way.
We believe that this fact should be taken into account to reformulate the scaling
picture of the phase transition of the random field Ising model.

Another very striking result is the very large value of the critical amplitude ratio of the magnetic susceptibility.

Concerning the ground state magnetization at the phase transition, we found it difficult to reach
a definite conclusion. We have studied three different scenarios, a) the magnetization
converging to zero following a power law, i.e. $ \overline {m_c } \sim L^{-\beta / \nu } $,
b) converging to zero logarithmically, c) approaching a constant when  $ L \to \infty $.
No one of these scenarios is excluded when one considers only the magnetization data at $J=J_c$,
not taking into account the other results on the phase transition. In particular the value of the correction to
scaling exponent $ \omega $ obtained by FMM, strongly favours the logarithmic approach.
On the other hand our results on the magnetic susceptibility critical amplitude ratio seem to favour the
discontinuous magnetization scenario.

Nun does ball trick, throws 'perfect pitch' before Chicago White Sox game
ABC News (CHICAGO) — Sister Mary Jo Sobieck isn't on the Chicago White Sox roster, but it sure looks like they could use her.
The nun at Marian Catholic High School took the mound for the ceremonial first pitch ahead of the team's game Saturday against the Kansas City Royals.
Sobieck, who was celebrating her school's "Night with the White Sox" at Chicago's Guaranteed Rate Field, confidently strolled to the mound wearing a traditional habit and donning a white Marian Catholic High School jersey.
Sobieck, wearing No. 60, was so confident in her skills that she gave the fans and players a treat — by doing an arm-bounce trick before the pitch.
And that's when the righty hurler fired off a perfect strike to the plate.
"That was awesome," White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, who was on the receiving end of the strike, told MLB.com after the game. "She had a whole routine. She had it planned out. I was just lucky to be back there. She threw a perfect pitch."
The White Sox tweeted: "One of the most impressive first pitches of all time."
After leaving the mound and shaking Giolito's hand, Sobieck took in the cheers and pointed to the stands.
Her performance left people wondering whether she had previous experience with the sport.
"She was pretty good, actually," White Sox manager Rick Renteria told MLB.com. "I'm like, 'Wait a minute.' He (Giolito) threw it back to her and she fielded it barehanded.
Sobie comes from a large athletic family, according to an article published in 2008 by The Times of Northwest Indiana. She played both volleyball and softball while attending The College of St. Scholastica in Minnesota after her graduation from Cathedral High School in 1987.
The White Sox — who played the rest of the game without Sobieck — lost to the Royals, 3-1.
After the game, Renteria joked about adding the nun to the team.
"I was like, 'OK, she looks like she can play a little bit,' so we started talking to her," he said. ""I think she said, 'I played center and short.'
"I said to her, 'Can you play for us?'" he continued. "She said, 'Sure.'"

USS Cole (DDG-67) was laid down on 28 February 1994 at Pascagoula, MS, by Ingalls Shipbuilding Division, Litton Industries; launched on 10 January 1995; sponsored by Mrs. Lee Perry, wife of Secretary of Defense William J. Perry; and commissioned on 8 June 1996 at Port Everglades, FL, Commander Frederick D. Allard Jr. in command.
On 8 August 2000, with Kirk S. Lippold in command, Cole was deployed with guided missile frigate Simpson (FFG-56) and Military Sealift Command (MSC)-manned oiler USNS John Lenthall (T-AO-189) from Norfolk to the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Indian Ocean. On 12 October, while Cole refueled at Aden, Yemen, two al-Qaeda terrorists brought an inflatable Zodiac-type speedboat that carried a bomb alongside the destroyer, port side amidships, and detonated their lethal cargo. The explosion blew a 40-foot wide hole in Cole, but the crew's valiant damage control efforts saved her.
The attack killed 17 Sailors: 31-year-old Lt. j.g. Andrew Triplett; 35-year-old ETC Richard D. Costelow; 30-year-old EW1 Kevin S. Rux; 21-year-old HT2 Kenneth E. Clodfelter; 24-year-old EN2 Mark I. Nieto; 24-year-old EW2 Ronald S. Owens; 32-year-old OS2 Timothy L. Saunders; 22-year-old MS3 Ronchester M. Santiago; 19-year-old MSSN Lakeina M. Francis; 21-year-old ISSN Timothy L. Gauna; 22-year-old SMSN Cherone L. Gunn; 19-year-old ISSN James R. McDaniels; 22-year-old SN Lakiba N. Palmer; 19-year-old ENFN Joshua L. Parlett; 19-year-old FN Patrick H. Roy; 26-year-old FN Gary Swenchonis Jr.; and 19-year-old SN Craig B. Wibberley. In addition, 37 of their shipmates sustained wounds.
The ships that supported Cole during Operation Determined Response from 12-31 October 2000 included: amphibious assault ship Tarawa (LHA-1); dock landing ship Anchorage (LSD-36); amphibious transport dock Duluth (LPD-6); guided missile destroyer Donald Cook (DDG-75); guided missile frigate Hawes (FFG-53); and Military Sealift Command (MSC)-manned tug USNS Catawba (T-ATF-168); along with Marines of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), and British frigates Cumberland (F.85) and Marlborough (F.233).
Cole carried out emergent repairs and on 29 October stood out of Aden. The following day, MSC-manned heavy lift vessel Blue Marlin loaded the destroyer on board and sailed her to Pascagoula for extensive repairs, reaching that port on 13 December. Cole's crewmembers were flown to Rhein-Main AFB Germany, and from there to Norfolk, VA. Cole's Sailors then completed convalescent leave through 1 December, and the ship returned to the water on Christmas Eve and continued repairs and maintenance into 2001. On 12 October 2001, the USS Cole (DDG-67) Memorial was dedicated at Naval Station Norfolk to honor the memory of the victims. The Navy subsequently enhanced global force protection training during crucial transits, and Sailors qualified to fire M60 and Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns to defend against assaults by low-slow flying aircraft and small boats.
At 1118 on the morning of October 12, 2000, as USS Cole (DDG-67) was refueling in Aden Harbor, Yemen, suicide bombers detonated an explosive-laden boat directly against the port side of the ship. The resulting blast killed 17 Sailors, wounded 37 others, and tore a hold forty by sixty feet in the ship's hull. In the aftermath of the explosion, the crew of USS Cole fought tirelessly to free shipmates trapped by the twisted wreckage and limit flooding that threatened to sink the ship. The crew's prompt actions to isolate damaged electrical systems and contain fuel oil ruptures prevented catastrophic fires that could have engulfed the ship and cost the lives of countless men and women. Skillful first aid and advanced medical treatment applied by the crew prevented additional death and eased the suffering of many others. Drawing upon their Navy training and discipline, the crew heroically conducted more than 96 hours of sustained damage control in conditions of extreme heat and stress. Deprived of sleep, food, and shelter, they vigilantly battled to preserve a secure perimeter and restore stability to engineering systems that were vital to the ship's survival. By their sacrifice and bravery in the fact of daunting adversity, the crew of USS Cole personified Honor, Courage, and Commitment.

Walker Tape is now the industry leader in tape and adhesive for hair replacement systems. This commitment to excellence has led to shipping products to customers all over the world. The confidence and loyalty that customers show is not taken lightly. Quality in products, people, and processes has always been a top priority and remains key to Walker Tape core values.

My husband has very recently purchased two new digital TVs for our home and office use and so we now have two perfectly good analogue TVs spare. I have tried selling them at a nominal price but no luck, and was wondering if there is an organisation that would like them for free, or if there is any way to recycle them.
You won't find much luck in giving old TVs away. With the combined effects of the stimulus payments and the phase-out of the analogue signal, the sale of new televisions has skyrocketed and there's piles of old ones to get rid of.
DON'T dump old TVs on the doorstep of a charity or thrift store. They are hard to resell - there are always safety issues, and no one wants them. A recent survey showed that 95 per cent of charities typically have an oversupply of e-waste and are actually losing money through having to get rid of them.
Up to 98 per cent of the materials that make up a TV are recyclable, with recoverable useful materials including gold and copper. The good news is that there is a national TV recycling program being developed by the industry in partnership with state and federal government, through Product Stewardship Australia (www.productstewardship.asn.au). In the meantime, there are some collections already running. Contact your local council or state government waste authority and ask for details on where TVs can be recycled.

Tesla is a company known for their electric cars, but it seems that the company is starting to branch out their offerings because the company has recently unveiled the Tesla Wireless Charger. No, this is not a wireless charger for your car, but it is instead a wireless charger designed for smartphones.
As the description notes, this charger also packs a 6,000mAh battery which means that you could use it as a power bank to bring with you on the go. In terms of price, Tesla is asking $65 for it which is admittedly not too bad of a price. This is not the first time that Tesla has launched a "lifestyle" product. Previously the company also sold a limited edition surfboard., and also a regular power bank which is still available for purchase for $45.


As reported in the Grantham Journal.
Local paper, The Grantham Journal has reported in print (see picture above) and online about the excellent volunteer labour that has been going on in The Thorold over the last few weekends – namely stripping the walls. Our worthy strippers are seen posing in the photo.
Cleared the gardens and tidied and maintained the land outside.
Replaced the collapsed fencing (many thanks PV Baker!).
Applied for planning permission to extend the back of the pub to accommodate fully accessible toilets.
Lifted the warped oak flooring, which has been stacked pending resurfacing and relaying.
Stripped the wallpaper and woodchip.
The next stage is some structural work removing a couple of walls and Potts the builders from Long Bennington are due to do this in the next 2 or 3 of weeks.
The renovation project progresses and fundraising continues.

"I do not believe that the Ministry of Justice cannot retrieve the case diary from the police.
"This case is struck out and the defendant discharged and if the case file is finally retrieved, the defendant can be re- arraigned," he held.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the judge said that the case had recorded eight adjournments already without the defendant taking his plea.
Aladetoyinbo said that he was forced to grant bail to the defendant as a result of the shoddy prosecution of the case.
Earlier, Mr. Abubakar Musa, the prosecuting counsel, told the court that the prosecution had not been able to collect the case diary of this case from the police as directed by the court.
Responding, the defence lawyer, Mr. Akin Akintan, told the court that the case had suffered many adjournments due to the nonchalant attitude of the prosecution.
"The Registrar of this court on my lord's instruction had to write to the Ministry of Justice more than two times.
"On Feb. 19, this court made a definite pronouncement by giving the prosecution one more adjournment to put its house in order," he said.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the police on Feb. 27, 2018 alleged at the arraignment of the defendant said that on May 10, 2017, at 8 p.m., near Gishiri Junction in Abuja, Achimi shot Musa; allegedly causing the latter's death.

Join us for a night of celebration as we come together as a community to honor the future of mental health! All proceeds from The Hope Ball support HFTD mental health education programs in the Chicagoland area and beyond.
This Halloween let's scare away stigma instead of being scared by it. Instead of putting on a mask and pretending everything's Ok, let's tell our family and friends about what's really going on. IT's OK NOT TO BE OK!
HFTD's Proactive Prevention Workshop is our flagship education program and one of our most important educational tools. Our free monthly sessions at the Logan Square Public Library provide a crucial educational resource for everyone affected by mental health.
A look back at the highlights of September, National Suicide Prevention Month.
Dan Hohs' goal was to showcase how physical and mental health are connected, and he was open about his experiences in a way that encouraged others to engage in physical activities as well as push the dialog on mental health. That's how Team Thrive began.
In partnership, Hope for the Day and Havas are placing 121 mannequins in the Havas lobby to represent the 121 people who complete suicide in America every day. We want to change those statistics.

In the wake of a close friend's suicide, Yorkville Alderman and Hope For The Day Agent of Impact, Joel Frieders felt a personal responsibility to pull his resources and use his position within local government to prevent future tragedies from occuring.
Temperatures are dropping (well, kind of), school is back in session, and the days of sunbathing at the lake and ice cream for dinner are rapidly coming to a close. Summer is wrapping up for everyone here at Hope For the Day, and we wanted to reflect on the solid summer fun we had. Thanks in large part to so many of our fellow advocates and Partners in Prevention, we were able to have a successful summer of fundraising, outreach, and overall involvement in our local communities and beyond. Here's what we've been up to on all those 90 degree, sunscreened days.


Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - Are you one of those making the conversion from old-fashioned lightbulbs to the newer energy-efficient lights but are confused when trying to decide which type to buy? If so, help is now available through a free app.
It's called the "Right Light App" and is now available, thanks to the Clean Energy Resource Teams and the University of Minnesota Extension office.
"We created the Right Light App after six years of educating Minnesotans about energy-efficient LED light bulbs," said Dan Thiede, Communications Manager with the Clean Energy Resource Teams and the University of Minnesota Extension Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships. "The app helps people pick the perfect bulb when they're at the store or shopping online, from bulb and fixture types to color and brightness suggestions."
Thiede says the app can be used by individuals or groups that serve others with questions about lighting.
"It's the kind of resource that utilities, retailers, and local governments can share with their communities and customers when they are approached with questions," Thiede commented. "We created a paper Right Light Guide years ago that is used by over 80 utilities in Minnesota, and now this app adds a great interactive resource to that guide."
The full suite of lighting resources from the Clean Energy Resource Teams can be accessed online at http://mncerts.org/lighting.
The announcement of the app comes during the annual "Be Bright" program offered by Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency. The Rochester-based power wholesaler has partnered with retailers in its member cities to offer LED light bulbs at a reduced rate.
Check here for more info about this program and a list of participating retailers.

Washington: Several spouses spent their New Year's Day seeking out an extramarital affair, it has been revealed.
According to Ashley Madison, 27,511 married Americans logged on for the first time to look for an affair partner, which is 20.7 % higher from New Year's Day last year and 344% higher than a typical day, the Huffington Post reported.
The founder of Ashley Madison, Noel Biderman, said that the rise in traffic didn't exactly come as a shock to him as many people re-examine their lives and changes they want to make on special occasions and holidays, particularly the start of the New Year.
The online dating service revealed that 16,507 men and 11,004 women reportedly signed up.


Halloween spending is expected to hit record highs this year as nearly 180 million Americans plan to celebrate the holiday, which means your business has an excellent opportunity to cash in on the spooky celebrations. Start by using the following 10 Halloween marketing statistics to identify ways to grow your business.
That doesn't mean your business must have direct ties to Halloween to boost October profits; all you need to do is develop a Halloween-themed incentive or special offer to scare up sales. An auto mechanic, for example, might print online postcards featuring a discounted oil change with free Halloween candy for the kids while customers wait.
Though catalogs trail departments stores and even greeting card stores, they're still enormous revenue sources for the Halloween industry – 3.6 percent of which amounts to more than $327 million annually.
Consider who your target audience is before you plan your Halloween marketing campaign. If you cater to the average customer, understand that your special offer should fit within their average budget (which must also be spent on a costume, treats and other supplies).
If you cater to true Halloween enthusiasts who might spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the holiday, you will need to adjust your mailing list to target only those are most likely to buy what you sell. Doing so will help you market more efficiently and maximize your return on investment.
Don't forget the kids when it comes to Halloween marketing. Even though they're probably not doing the spending, they influence what their parents buy – particularly when it comes to costumes, makeup, candy and decorations.
Again, consider your audience: are you positioning your marketing campaigns to reach the right people? If you've been ignoring the millennial market, you're missing out a huge opportunity to boost Halloween sales.
This insight can help you identify which products or services to prominently feature in your Halloween marketing campaigns.
Popular costumes can help inform your design themes; if you know what people are searching for, you can cater to their interests on your catalog covers, postcard designs and other marketing tools.
Consider how you can help your customers avoid tragedy on Halloween, then incorporate it into your marketing campaigns. The reasons people need you on Halloween don't need to tragic – dentists warn children (and parents) about the dangers of tooth decay every All Hallows' Eve.
By Halloween you should be looking ahead to the end-of-year holidays. Recognizing that many Americans get their shopping done early can position you to create early bird Christmas marketing campaigns that help you beat your competitors to the punch.

What the heck is a literary conference, and why should you go to them? If you're a writer, this is the place for you, and I'm about to tell you why. Often sponsored by writing organizations, literary conferences bring writers and publishing industry folks together for keynote speeches, luncheons, mixers, and a variety of workshops and panels called "breakout sessions." They can last a single day, or spread out over most of a week, and they take place all over the country—which means one is near you! Many of the names read like an acrynomicon of letters—AWP, ALA, SDCC, HNS, TLA, SCBWI, etc. (Don't worry, I'll translate below.) And they do cost money (some are quite expensive, but often there is a day rate available that's much more reasonable). But they can be more than worth the price of admission. Why? Read on!
Instead of shackles and bone saws, I found surf boards and sand in the back. Two important things came from this conference and this ride: 1) Mitch tried to teach me to surf later that summer… she tried really hard (it didn't happen) and; 2) we became writing buddies. This meant we teamed up to hold each other accountable for our daily pages. Mitch worked in a university library. I had quit my job at Disney and was temping at a construction site. I was due on the job at 7 a.m. Mitch was due at the library at the same time. I got home at 3:30 each day, and wrote into the evening. I would then email her my pages with an unbreakable vow: Do Not Read. We didn't want eyes on our crappy first drafts—just someone knowing we were working on it. Mitch wrote before work. Her emails came in at 4 a.m… They didn't always make sense. (She was a morning person, but I think we can all agree 4 a.m. is not morning–it's hell.) Still, she would write and send me pages. Once, when she was too sick to write, her husband emailed me to let me know she would have pages the next day. With that sort of diligence smacking me in the eyeballs each morning, you better believe I wrote every day, too.
We finished our first books this way. By the end of those first drafts, we'd shared tips we'd learned on worldbuilding, organizing our research, and staying motivated. I'd watched hours of surfing videos and practiced hopping into a stand on a board. I learned I was a "goofy" footed surfer by sliding around Mitch's kitchen. We became friends. And then one day we printed our revised drafts and sat side by side on her sofa, reading each other's work. I went on to publish my novel. Mitch switched to screenwriting. Life went on, I left construction to work for a comic book company. We fell out of touch. But I think of her every time I finish a book. She was my first companion in this strange new world of writing. (Bruce Coville must've been my wizard-mentor.) We'd have never met without that conference.
I received my first query from an agent at a conference. It was another SCBWI event, but much smaller, a regional one-day show. I had entered a picture book manuscript (or what I thought might be a picture book manuscript—I had no idea) into a contest for the event—and I won an honorable mention. After some awkward photos on stage of the winners trying to hide behind each other (writers are not camera hogs, it turns out), a woman approached and handed me her card. As it turned out, I already had representation from someone I'd known at Disney, but I held that card and it felt like more than an honorable mention. It felt like validation. Who couldn't use that?
Since then, I've met many agents at conventions. The best ones will give a talk about what they are looking for, and then allow you to "jump the line" in submissions by writing the conference name across your envelope (Okay, that was back in the dark ages of paper, but that's how it worked). These magic words in bold sharpie strokes would lift your manuscript out of the slush pile—the heaps of unsolicited manuscripts many editors receive to this day—and onto the desk of the agent or editor. A get out of jail free card, for the cost of sitting attentively in a conference session and, hopefully, asking a smart enough question to be remembered when you mention it in your query letter. That's worth a lot.
A few years ago, a friend asked if I would speak to her writing class. Afterwards, she asked me if I was going to some conference or other. I said, "What?" I had stopped going to conferences a few years ago. And, in truth, I had only ever gone to San Diego Comic Con—not for writing—and SCBWI (more on that later). She gave me a funny look and said, "But that's where we find teaching jobs." It was? As it turns out, she was right. A couple of years later, a friend asked if I would be a on a panel with her at the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference (AWP). It was in Los Angeles, so easy to get to. I said sure. Then someone else invited me to be on a second panel. And then I received a panicked email asking if I could fill in for someone who couldn't make it on third panel. I did. At the end of my day of paneling, a woman approached me with a business card and a compliment. She'd liked what I had to say. Would I like to teach for them?
What I thought was a fair for MFA programs is also a job fair. Who knew? IF you're looking for a teaching gig, why not attend AWP? These shows thrive on panels and workshops. Why not create and submit a panel yourself? The guidelines are on the website. Start early—they plan months and months in advance. But you might find a panel is as good as a query letter for an interview. And you'll get to know the lay of the land, see what's out there in academia. Plus you get to attend the other panels and fill your own tool kit with ideas.
I'll be attending my very first Historical Novel Society Conference in Maryland this June as both a panelist and a moderator. In addition to my awesome panel discussions (Beyond Rosie the Riveter: How Female Heroines are Revolutionizing WWII Fiction" and "Must We Always Sing the Blues: Missing Chapters in African-American History"), there are sessions on dancing in a kilt, the state of historical fiction in the marketplace today, how the #MeToo movement has affected historical fiction, and more. They promise to be stimulating conversations.
If someone had told me when I was a kid that I could get free books as part of my day job, I wouldn't have believed them. Believe it, kid. The American Library Association convention comes to towns across America. If it's in your town, get a day pass, even if it's just the one to walk the convention floor. Publishers are there with booths like market day at a medieval fair—and they are literally shoving books at you. Some even give you cute tote bags to carry them in. Big titles might require a raffle or a line to stand in.
And there are authors—all those wonderful authors—chained to desks and signing just for you. Go worship them. As them your question. Get your Christmas shopping done for the price of admission. If you're a teacher, the swag makes good bribes for students. If you're a reader, you'll roll home like Templeton the Rat after a fair.
I went to the Texas Teen Book Festival a few years ago in Austin. A girl approached me with a rolling suitcase behind her. In it were two types of books—the ones she already owned and was bringing to get signed, and the ones she was collecting at the show. She told me she used to use a backpack, but it was getting to hard to carry. I saw several other suitcases that day. At the Texas Library Association event, I watched kids leave with cardboard boxes full of books. Some are full books, some are sample books with excerpts from new releases. All of them have that new story smell. Go get some!
Susan Cooper. Katherine Paterson. Nichelle Nichols. Jim Butcher. China Miéville. Stan Lee. George R.R. Martin. Robin Hobb, and more. I only wept openly in front of one of them. One, I did not have the chance to speak to. One tweeted me a happy anniversary wish. One was a jerk. The rest—I spoke to as equals. As authors. And it was awesome.
This residency at Goddard, the theme was, "What We Talk About When We Talk About Craft." Conferences are a way to build your skill with craft. Especially once you are outside the intellectual arms of an MFA program, where else will you find a group of people who want to talk about Scrivener, or marketing a book, or kilt dancing? You might find one or two. But this is where we go to find the input of our community, a community of writers. And yes, conferences can be expensive, travel is expensive, it's not always within reach. But say you do have a community of writers at home, and they can't all afford to go. What riches might you bring back to your circle? Be the Marco Polo of your writing group. Introduce them to what you've learned. It will expand and deepen your conversations because it will reflect an international input. Plunking down the hundreds of dollars a conference might cost is daunting. But see it as an investment. Plan for it the way you would a trip of a lifetime. And make sure you eat the peach once you get there. You can sleep on the flight home.
SDCC – San Diego Comic Con, also known as "Comic-Con" or simply "Con"—a must do for graphic novelist or comic book writers, also good for speculative fiction. New York Comic Con has grown to rival San Diego, but this is the original and it's amazing.
If you're ready to hit the conference trail, do your research. Plenty of bloggers will give you tips on how to make the most of the event, what to bring, how to carry it all, and how to stay hydrated while doing it. As for me, I'll be at AWP, HNS, and SDCC this year. (See how easy those roll off the tongue now?) I hope to see you there!

Magnetic Classroom Task Organizer is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 6.
Rated 3 out of 5 by PriscillaCD from Dissappointed The magnet is not strong enough to support its weight.
Rated 4 out of 5 by hunterlrc from Just as described. Got these for our school to keep track of assignments completed. Strong magnets, bright and sturdy sticks.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kteach1 from I like the product. The magnetic strip on the back of the box is too weak to hold the weight of the sticks. I have to duct tape the box to the white board. Otherwise, the product is great for my classroom for designating jobs for the students each day.
Rated 5 out of 5 by averyelementary from Strong magnet with lots of uses I bought this without really knowing how I'd use it, I just knew it would be helpful in my classroom. I still haven't decided the product's final purpose, but I do know that it will soon be a very important feature in my classroom! The magnet is super strong, and the little star wands are adorable and brightly colored. I like the customizable labels on the four compartments. Basically, it's a great product, and I'm really glad I got it on sale!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wymorian from Great surprise ! I'm not certain how I'm going to use this for the next year, but the box is so sturdy and the magnet extremely strong to hold it all!
Do you Sell Replacement Stars?
I already purchased the task organizer but would like to buy star sticks.
Unfortunately we do not sell the star sticks separately.

VMware announced in June that Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) will be shipped with every copy of VMware's vSphere product. In addition, VMware sales staff will have incentives to sell SLES. During the recent sales call by Novell, they expanded on the details of the enhanced partnership.
According to VMware's page for SLES on VMware, it also sounds as if current vSphere customers would be eligible for a supported copy of SLES as well.
This is incredible news – it means that SUSE may be able to gain some traction in the data center. I've been partial to SUSE in some ways ever since I found that XFS (and JFS!) had been supported in SUSE Linux for years before Red Hat did – SUSE has always supported technologies first, providing more value than Red Hat did.
I also supported SUSE Linux in the data center in the past; it has been rock solid (as is Red Hat). SUSE Linux has a lot to offer – as does OpenSUSE (which just recently introduced 11.3).
Red Hat has always done well – as it should – but SUSE has been in the shadows for too long.
It has also been noted that VMware could be a company that buys SUSE and Novell's Linux business. VMware was bought by EMC not that long ago. Cisco also has a joint venture with EMC that includes VMware products. Is it possible that Cisco will be shipping products with SLES on them?
The solution was summarized nicely by Vivek Kapoor; he attributes the solution to C.M. Connelly (from 5 May, 2003). One of the nice things about Connelly's entry is that he shows you how he debugged the problem he had, and how he fixed it; go read the post.
The error message is coming from dpkg, and refers to the "files list for package `apparmor'". The files list is in /var/lib/dpkg/info; in this case, /var/lib/dpkg/info/apparmor.list. The problem being referred to in the error message is that, for some reason, this file cannot be read.
This file can be recreated if you have the package on hand; if not, you can fetch it with apt-get install -d package (possibly with the --reinstall option if necessary). The package will be downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives, and even if a reinstall is attempted, the reinstall will fail (through dpkg) even though the download through apt succeeds.
After that, you should be good to go. You might want to check the disk (using fdisk) and perhaps reinstall the package to make sure all files are okay.
I don't understand how this dpkg problem can last for seven years now; dpkg should be able to cleanly handle the recreation of this file if necessary, and shouldn't be reporting obscure messages about its internal workings. From a user perspective – and a system administrator perspective – dpkg should automatically recreate the list file if there are problems with it, or even recreate all control files used by the package.

Test Level 3: Bar Graph - Question 1
Directions: Answers the question based on the given information.
A management institute was established on 1st January, 2000, with 3, 4, 5 and 6 faculty members respectively in Marketing, Organisational Behaviour (OB), Finance, and Operations Management (OM) departments to start with. No faculty member retired or joined the institute in the first three months of the year 2000. In the next four years, the institute recruited one faculty member in each of the four departments. All these new faculty members, who joined the institute subsequently over the years, were 25 years old at the time of their joining the institute. All of them joined the institute on 1st April. During these four years, one of the faculty members retired at the age of 60. The following bar chart gives the department-wise average age (in terms of number of completed years) of faculty members as on April 1 of 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003.
Q. What was the age of the new faculty member who joined the OM department on 1st April, 2003?
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Bar Graph - Question 1
As there is a dip in the average age in OM in 2001, and because of the fact that there is only 1 dip in the OM data set, in the OM department, a new person joined in 2001 at the age of 25 years.
Therefore, the age of the new faculty member who joined the OM department on 1st April, 2003, was 27 years.
Q. Professors Naresh and Devesh, two faculty members of Marketing who have been with the institute since its inception, share their birthdays, which fall on 20th November. One was born in 1947 and the other in 1950. On 1st April, 2005, what was the approximate age of the third faculty member, who has been in the same area since inception?
In the table, 'n' represents the number of faculty members in different areas and 'a' represents the average age of faculty members.
Sum of ages of Naresh and Devesh in 2000 = (52 + 49) years = 101 years
In 2000, age of the third faculty member = (49.33 × 3 - 101) years = 47 years
In 2005, age of the third faculty member = (47 + 5) years = 52 years
Q. From which department did the faculty member retire?
In the table, 'n' represents the number of faculty members in different departments and 'a' represents the average age of faculty members.
It is given that 1 person was recruited in each of the departments. This is the key sentence.
There is a dip in average age twice only in Finance. Whenever a person joins or leaves, the average age would be disturbed from its normal increasing value of 1 every year.
Now, as 2 persons have not joined the same department, it must only be in Finance that a person retired in 1 year and another member joined in another year. Because of the fact that all departments have 1 dip in their average age, and Finance has 2, the possibility that the person who retired at 60 years of age and a new faculty member joined in the same department in the same year is ruled out.
Furthermore, the normal trend in average age in each department is an increase of 1, which would be the normal behaviour if no person joins in or leaves, unless and until the average age of persons who leave and join in the same year is exactly the same.
Furthermore, as the trend is decrease in age and it is happening only once in each of the departments except Finance, the possibility that the average age would increase when a person joins is ruled out as only 1 person joins in the entire period in the data set.
Q. In which year did the new faculty member join the Finance department?
Now, as 2 persons have not joined the same department, it must only be in Finance that a person retired in 1 year and another member joined in another year. Because of the fact that all departments have 1 dip in their average age, and Finance has 2, the possibility that the person who retired at 60 years of age and a new faculty member joined in the same year is ruled out.
Now, let us assume that the person who retired at the age of 60 years from the Finance department, retired in the period 2nd April, 2000 - 31st March, 2001, both dates inclusive. So, the average age of the faculty members as on 1st April, 2001, should be (50.2 × 5 + 5 - 60)/4) years = 49 years, which matches perfectly with the data given.
Thus, the person that retired must have done so in the period given.
Now, there is a dip in the average age of faculty of the Finance department in the year 2002.
So, let us now evaluate if it matches with the data given.
If a person of 25 years of age joins the Finance department on 1st April, 2002, then the average age of the faculty members on 1st April, 2002 is ((49 × 4 + 4 + 25)/5) years = 45 years, which matches perfectly with the given data.
Thus, the person who joined the Finance department did so in the year 2002.
Hence, answer option 3 is correct.
Directions: Answer the question on the basis of bar graphs given below.
Q. Between the two given periods, the production in tonnes from irrigated land as a percentage of total production (irrigated land + unirrigated land for a particular crop) increased for
rice and wheat
wheat and maize
corn and maize
Hence, option (1) is correct.
Q. During 2009-2014, for which of the following crops is the production in tonnes per hectare more for irrigated land than for unirrigated land?
Rice and maize
Wheat and corn
Maize and corn
Production per hectare ('000 tonnes/hectare)
Q. During 2004 - 2009, the difference between rice and wheat production from irrigated land and rice and wheat production from unirrigated land is
7000 tonnes
Irrigated land Unirrigated land
Rice 20000 tonnes 26000 tonnes
Wheat 25000 tonnes 22000 tonnes
Total 45000 tonnes 48000 tonnes
Therefore, Difference = 48000 tonnes – 45000 tonnes = 3000 tonnes
Q. During 2009 - 2014, maize production in tonnes per hectare of irrigated land as compared to that in 2004 - 2009 declined by
30 tonnes/hectare
Maize production per hectare of irrigated land.
2009-2014 =
= 180 tonnes/hectares
Therefore, Decline = 222 - 180 = 42 tonnes/hectares.
Directions: Read the following and answer the question.
Indian Kabbadi team captain Ajay Thakur scored points against 6 different teams in Pro Kabbadi 2017 and Pro Kabbadi 2018. The bar charts given below depict the number of points scored by Ajay against the opponent as a percentage of total points scored in that Pro Kabbadi series. It is also given that the ratio of points scored by Ajay against Bengal Warriors in the Pro Kabbadi 2017 and Pro Kabbadi 2018 is 2 : 1, whereas the points scored against Bengaluru Bulls is the same in both Pro Kabbadi series.
Q. If it is given that Ajay scored minimum possible points in Pro Kabbadi 2018, then what is the maximum difference in number of points scored by him against Haryana Steelers in both the Pro Kabbadi series?
Suppose 100p and 100q are the total number of points scored in Pro Kabbadi 2017 and 2018, respectively.
So, the points scored by Ajay against Bengaluru Bulls in the year 2017 = 0.24 × 100p = 24p
The points scored by Ajay against Bengaluru Bulls in the year 2018 = 0.20 × 100q = 20q
20q = 24p or q = 1.2p
Now, we represent the number of points against each opponent in both Pro Kabbadi series in terms of p.
The number of points scored by Ajay against Bengal Warriors in 2017 = 12p
The ratio is given as 2 : 1.
Therefore, points scored by Ajay against Bengal Warriors in 2018 = 6p
That is 5 percent of the total number of points scored by Ajay in 2018.
But, we do not know percentage of points scored by Ajay against Dabang Delhi and Haryana Steelers in 2018.
Let a be the percentage of points scored by Ajay against Dabang Delhi in 2018.
Then, the number of points scored by Ajay against Dabang Delhi = 1.2p × a = (6a/5)p
Now, the remaining table can be filled.
So, Ajay scored 26.4p and 16.8q points against U Mumba and Telugu Titans in 2018.
Hence, we can say that p is a multiple 5.
The total number of points scored by Ajay in 2018 will be minimum when p = 5
Total number of points against Haryana Steelers in 2017 = 13 × 5 = 65
Hence, the difference in number of points scored against Harayana Steelers in both Pro Kabbadi series
= |(234 - 6a) - 65| = 169 - 6a
The difference will be maximum, if a = 0
Therefore, maximum difference = 169
Test Level 3: Bar Graph - Question 10
Q. In Pro Kabbadi 2018, the sum of points scored against Dabang Delhi and Harayana Steelers as a percentage of total points is
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Bar Graph - Question 10
From the above table, the sum of points scored against Dabang Delhi and Harayana Steelers in Pro Kabbadi 2018 as a percentage of total points scored = 39 – a + a = 39%
Q. If the difference between points scored by Ajay against Dabang Delhi in both 2017 and 2018 is zero, then by what percentage is the number of points scored by Ajay against U Mumba, Haryana Steelers and Telugu Titans combined in Pro Kabbadi 2018 higher than in Pro Kabbadi 2017 against the same teams?
It is given that the difference in number of points scored by Ajay against Dabang Delhi in both Pro Kabbadi series is zero.
i.e. 18p = (6a/5)p
The number of points scored by Ajay against U Mumba, Haryana Steelers and Telugu Titans combined in the Pro Kabbadi 2018 = 26.4p + 28.8p + 16.8p = 72p
The number of points scored by Ajay against U Mumba, Haryana Steelers and Telugu Titans combined in the Pro Kabbadi 2017 = 17p + 13p + 16p = 46p
Hence, the required percentage
Q. In Pro Kabbadi 2018, the percentage of points scored against Dabang Delhi with respect to the total points scored is
Cannot be determined
Then, number of points scored by Ajay against Dabang Delhi = 1.2p × a = (6a/5)p
We cannot determine points scored against Dabang Delhi as a percentage of total points scored in Pro Kabbadi 2018.
Directions: The given questions are based on the following bar graphs giving the number of students in different branches in two engineering colleges for the years 1996 - 1997 and 1997 - 98:

Number of students of electronics department left in XYZ Engineering College = 120
Percent = %, i.e. 31% (approx.)
Q. The number of students in XYZ engineering college for the years 1996 - 97 and 1997 - 98, put together, exceeds the number of students in ABC Engineering College, put together, for the same period by
The number of students of ABC Engineering
College in (1996 - 97 and 1997 - 98) = 150 + 100 + 150 + 80 + 90 + 100 = 670
The number of students of XYZ Engineering
College in (1996 - 97 and 1997 - 98) = 180 + 150 + 180 + 120 + 60 + 120 = 810
Difference = 140
Q. The percentage decrease in the number of students in the electronics faculty of ABC Engineering College for the period 1996 - 97 to 1997 - 98 exceeds the percentage decrease in the number of students in electronics faculty of XYZ Engineering College for the same period by around

College = 100 for electronics
Percentage decrease in 1997-98 for XYZ
Engineering College = for electronics
= 13% (approx.)
Directions: Answer the question based on the information given below.
The following chart shows the runs scored by Dravid in the year 2006-07.
Best = Highest score in any match
Average = Total runs scored/Number of outs
Q. If Dravid was out in all the innings he played, what is the maximum possible average can he have? (If his best is 120)
Average = , it will become maximum if total runs scored is maximum.
The maximum possible runs he can score is
7 19 + 12 39 + 18 59 + 20 79 + 8 99 + 5 120 = 4635 (Since best is 120).
Total number of outs = 7 + 12 + 18 + 20 + 8 + 5 = 70.
So, Average =
= 66.21 ≈ 66.
Q. Dravid scored 4000 runs in total during 2006-07. If his score was different in each match, what could be his best score?
The score will be the highest if he scored the least possible scores in all the matches, except the match in which he scored the best.
Since he scored between 0 and 19 in 7 matches, the least possible different scores are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Similarly for 12 matches, he scored between 20 and 39, i.e. 20, 21, 22, …, 31.
So, the possible minimum value of total runs (except the best) is
= (0 + 1 + ... + 6) + (20 + 21 + ... + 31) + (40 + 41 + ... + 57) + (60 + 61 + ... + 79) + (80 + 81 + ... + 87) + 100 + 101 + 102 + 103
= + (20 + 31) + (40 + 57) + (60 + 79) + (80 + 87) + 100 + 101 + 102 + 103 = 3664
The best score would be 4000 - 3664 = 336
Directions: Study the following bar graph carefully and answer the question that follows.
Q. If the average cost of toys of company A in January was Rs. 112 and the average cost of toys of company B in the same month was Rs. 106, then find the difference between the total costs of toys of companies A and B sold in January.
Total cost of toys of company A sold in January = Rs. (112 x 85) hundred= Rs. 9520 hundred = Rs. 9,52,000
Total cost of toys of company B sold in January = Rs. (106 x 65) hundred= Rs. 6890 hundred = Rs. 6,89,000
Required difference = Rs. (9,52,000 - 6,89,000) = Rs. 2,63,000
Q. In February, the total sales by company A, B and C was 210 (in hundreds). In which month were the sales of all the companies in total minimum?
The total sales by companies A, B and C in different months are as follows.
January = 85 + 65 + 75 = 225 (in hundreds)
February = 65 + 75 + 70 = 210 (in hundreds)
March = 55 + 80 + 65 = 200 (in hundreds)
April = 70 + 65 + 75 = 210 (in hundreds)
May = 65 + 70 + 60 = 195 (in hundreds)
Clearly, the sales were minimum in May.
Directions: Study the following chart carefully and answer the question given below:
Q. In which city was the total number of tickets of all the five movies together sold the minimum?
Total number of tickets of all movies sold in Jaipur = 50 + 15 + 30 + 25 + 40 = 160
Total number of tickets of all movies sold in Delhi = 15 + 20 + 25 + 25 + 35 = 120
Total number of tickets of all movies sold in Mumbai = 30 + 25 + 20 + 25 + 20 = 120
Total number of tickets of all movies sold in Kolkata = 15 + 20 + 30 + 25 + 35 = 125
Total number of tickets of all movies sold in Ludhiana = 10 + 15 + 5 + 20 + 15 = 65
Total number of tickets of all movies sold in Agra = 15 + 20 + 25 + 35 + 30 = 125
The total number of tickets sold of all five movies together was the minimum in Ludhiana.

News: Ice-T Wants DNA Testing To Prove Man Convicted of 1980 Murder Is Innocent
He plays a detective on television and now Ice-T is hoping to put his skills to the test in real life. The "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" actor is one of many celebrities who have lent their voices to fight injustice, including a 1980 murder case where a man named Leroy Evans was found to be responsible. However, the rapper believes that the wrong man is behind bars.
Emily Leo was known as the friendly Chester, Pennsylvania neighborhood "Avon Lady," but in 1980 she was found beaten to death. Another man who was charged with the murder implicated Evans in the crime claiming that they were accomplices. However, Evans has always maintained his innocence and in the years following their convictions, the man recanted his story that Evans was involved. Investigators haven't taken the new story into consideration and Evans has sat behind bars for 39 years.
Evans' legal team is petitioning the court, asking for a DNA test to prove that the inmate was not involved in the crime. Famous figures have rallied around Evans including Ice-T who created a video pleading with authorities. According to The Blast, Ice-T said, "Come on DA, you know I'm not a real cop and I just play one on TV, but I think this man, after 39 years in prison, whatever the crime may be, deserves at least to get that DNA test so he can clear himself."
Then the rapper-actor spoke to Evans directly. "Leeroy, you're in there for 39, man, I can't even imagine it," he said. "Alright? Good luck with this fight man, that's all I can say." Delaware County D.A. candidate Jack Stollsteimer told YC Daily, "After reviewing the evidence in this case I called on District Attorney Katayoun Copeland to agree to the defense request for DNA testing." He added, "I'm proud to stand with SVU Detective Tutuola as he joins Leroy Evans in his fight for justice."

PERFECTION IS HAVING THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR EVERY PRODUCT.
Storopack has been developing and manufacturing technical molded parts in line with customer requirements for a number of decades. The material we use for this purpose is expanded polystyrene (EPS), known as Styropor®, Piocelan®, Neopor®, and polypropylene (EPP). Each of these four synthetic materials has special properties that make it suitable for certain applications. EPS, for example, is very light, consists of up to 98 percent air, and reliably protects products such as electronic components from damage.
