Sunday's NY Travel Fest sessions were held at Hostelling International New York, a premier hostel, and one of the largest in the Americas. The landmark building located on the Upper West Side is equidistant from Central Park and the East River has a colorful history. In all the travels I've taken none of them have included accommodations in a hostel. HI New York layout and design blew me away, it is one part recreation center, one part dormitory, and for families traveling together, there's a penthouse apartment for optimal privacy.
Today I attended sessions on Travel as a Personal Journey, Visual Storytelling, and Volunteer Tourism. The lunch banquet featured a selection of rice and beans, salad and barbecue chicken served outside on the patio. It was a warm and day — the perfect temperature to revel in a Taiko Drum Performance and Workshop by NY Taiko Aiko Kai sponsored by the City of Tokyo Tourism, and a dance performance from Curious on Tanzania.
I met Blaire Masseroni, a fellow Italian, and traveler. Originally from Hanover, PA, home of the famous Snyder pretzels, Blaire combines her love of fitness with travel. Her specialty is teaching women how to harness their own strength, both physical and emotional while traveling abroad.
While enjoying the sake tasting provided by Explore Tokyo, I met Jeorgina Williams, publisher of NerdDNA, an online resource that provides fundamental tools for efficient sustainable living. Jeorgina spends half the year working, and the other half traveling the world. She explains that by implementing sustainable living and conscious spending she's able to bank enough money to pay for her travels. Her personal mantra explains it all: collect memories, not things.
Juania Owens, one of NYTF's speakers was also enjoying the sake tasting joined by her friend Brian, a math teacher from Long Island. As founder of Amazing Perspective, a storytelling platform that examines the ideas and experiences using positive psychology, Juania was on hand to present a session on curated storytelling.
At the Visual Storytelling session, I met Matthew Schechter from NYC & Co. Tourism Group. Matt recently moved back to the East Coast from San Diego where he managed sales for the San Diego Tourism Authority. I also chatted with Michael Fox, executive producer for The Beach, a video production company, on the value of creating thought leadership content.
Sierra Brown is an account executive for DCI, the leading experts in marketing places. Sierra previously worked with the Queens Economic Development Corporation and we talked shop about local tourism, and how to create compelling content for niche audiences.
At the close of the day, I had the pleasure of meeting the wizard behind the NYTF curtain Roni Weiss, and his publicist partner in crime Natasha Linton, thanking them for the thoughtful curation of the weekend activities. Roni and his team produce the New York Travel Festival which brings together tech-savvy, immersive travelers of all stripes: industry, consumers, and media.


Both expression gives you String object, but there is subtle difference between them. When you create String object using new() operator, it always create a new object in heap memory. On the other hand, if you create object using String literal syntax e.g. "Java", it may return an existing object from String pool (a cache of String object in Perm gen space, which is now moved to heap space in recent Java release), if it's already exists. Otherwise it will create a new string object and put in string pool for future re-use. In rest of this article, why it is one of the most important thing you should remember about String in Java.
Since String is one of the most used type in any application, Java designer took a step further to optimize uses of this class. They know that Strings will not going to be cheap, and that's why they come up with an idea to cache all String instances created inside double quotes e.g. "Java". These double quoted literal is known as String literal and the cache which stored these String instances are known as as String pool. In earlier version of Java, I think up-to Java 1.6 String pool is located in permgen area of heap, but in Java 1.7 updates its moved to main heap area. Earlier since it was in PermGen space, it was always a risk to create too many String object, because its a very limited space, default size 64 MB and used to store class metadata e.g. .class files. Creating too many String literals can cause java.lang.OutOfMemory: permgen space. Now because String pool is moved to a much larger memory space, it's much more safe. By the way, don't misuse memory here, always try to minimize temporary String object e.g. "a", "b" and then "ab". Always use StringBuilder to deal with temporary String object.
In general you should use the string literal notation when possible. It is easier to read and it gives the compiler a chance to optimize your code. By the way any answer to this question is incomplete until you explain what is String interning, so let's see that in next section.
That's all about this question, what is difference between String literal and String object in Java. Always remember that literal Strings are returned from string pool and Java put them in pool if not stored already. This difference is most obvious, when you compare two String objects using equality operator (==). That's why it's suggested as always compare two String object using equals() method and never compare them using == operator, because you never know which one is coming from pool and which one is created using new() operator. If you know the difference between string object and string literal, you can also solve questions from Java written test, which also test this concept. It's something, every Java programmer should know. of temporary String object in heap space.
Thanks for your article. Could you please tell me. How many objects are created in memory and at which place? when we create objects using new keyword?
how many objects are created in where i.e. heap, stack and pool?
In first statement one String is created using literal syntax so that will go to the String pool, which is also part of heap from Java 1.7 but was part of permgen area in Java 1.6. In second statement, "Java" will not create another object instead it will reuse the object created in previous step, had it been any other word e.g. "java" it would have created another object. By the way new String() will create another object in Java heap space. No object in stack but reference variables language and anotherLanugage will be created and stored in stack.
After the execution of first statement, the String Literal "Java" is created in String Pool.But then in second statement, I think that the "Java" will be created in Heap area, although I may be wrong in this but to the point I know I think that's the way it is. Although I'm not confirm about where the "Java"in the second statement parenthesis will be created/or not.
1) Scan SCP . if it has already same string then return old one, else create new object in SCP.
Totally 2 objects in general.
Don't think so, Only one object will be created .If we call intern then the object should be created in String pool.
but the question is ,is it also check in String pool.???
I think main difference between String object and String literal still remains the fact that former is automatically added into String pool while later is added using intern() method.
I have a question, can a String Constant Pool be Garbage Collected. If so when & how?
Yes, both interned String and literals are subject to garbage collection. when a String literl doesn't have any active reference it becomes eligible for garbage collection and this is true for all Java versions. In Java 7, String pool is moved to heap space, but even when it was in PermGen space untile Java 6, String constants were garbage collected.
very good explanation of the String objects & their differences. Thanks a lot.
I am still confused about how many objects created when u create string using new operator.
one in heap and one in String pool.
@Anonymous, that is correct, two objects, "ABC" on String pool and new String() on heap.
Nope, until you explicitly call intern() method, it will create one object in Heap space only.
When executing String s = new String("ABC") , only one object is created in the heap. This doesn't not deal with String pool.
Actually two objects are created, first the "ABC" object which is created in String pool and second the new String() object which is created in heap. String pool is also now part of Java heap from JDK 7 release update 40 I guess.
yes Sridhar , me too having same point can anyone please clear me.
String str = "ABC" + "DEF"; How many object will be created in this.
4) The String object which will be created after concatenation e.g. "ABCDEF"
Java internally uses StringBuilder or StringBuffer when you use + operator to join string together.
What is the use of creating two object i.e using new keyword .
In this example there will be 2 objects. 1 in string Pool and 1 in NonPool Memory.
But what is the relevance of String pool object when using new Keyword. Is it available for next time when we create another object using new keyword with same value and if not then why it is there?
hello @Himanshu, it will be returned when you create another object using same character but by using String literal e.g. "abc" will return the same object.
Are 2 objects created ?
Or only 1 object in non-pool heap memory is created?
Hello Aditya, Yes, two objects are created if "abc" is not in the String pool already, if it is then just one. First object is "abc" and second is the new String().
there will be two objects created s will be in heap and by "abc" literal object will be go in the string constant pool.
if there is already a "abc" present than it will not create new and give the reference of previous "abc".
is it possible to put a string only in heap memory not in string constant pool.
@true taller yes, if you create an object using new String() without using String literal e.g. via byte array then that object only remain in heap space, not created in String pool.
@Anonymous, 4 objects, two String literal and two created by String concatenation.
Does the result will be true in this casse?
@Anonymous, yes result will be true because both are pointing to same String literal.
when you say if we call itern() on string object it moves to string constant pool.
1.Why 3rd will be true and why not 1/2?
2. Afetr concatenation will new object will be created in heap/pool?
Very good explanation, thank you!
But this is an exception, a trick and any exception makes our life harder and it pales the beauty of Java.
Why Java designers did not automatically decide if a string in PermGen to use it no matter it is literal or new object?
to return also s1 as it is already there?
This in idea that Java is a tool in our hands not vice-verse.
And we prefer simple but effective tools.
why they create two different type String object..


We're here… its now gone 9pm and Violet is finally asleep. I can't sleep yet… so I've powered up my laptop to share my day with you.
I didn't sleep well last night – in fact, I slept badly… unsurprisingly, I might add. This morning I flapped around the house, almost delirious with anxiety. I baked a carrot cake to keep my mind off the road trip that Violet and I were about to embark on.
The taxi showed up at 11.40am and the journey took an hour and 40 minutes. We checked into Koala ward and first impressions are what I expected to be honest – the staff are all lovely, the hospital is clean, and in fact, Koala ward is one of the newest bits of the hospital.
I think the thing about a place like GOSH is that its eye opening… there are lots and lots of very sick children here. All of a sudden I felt like a fraud and Violet's invisible issues pale in comparison to some of the kids I have seen today. Although my "mummy nerves" remain, I feel as though my situation (Violet's condition) has been properly put in its place and I am feeling very, very lucky indeed that its is a relatively minor problem.
So we have been seen today by a peri-surgical (sp) medic, a surgical fellow and the top man himself, our surgeon. Alongside these important visits and chats, I have had to sign consents, fill in a huge pack of forms and hand Violet over for 4 hourly obs, a set of swabs, bloods and the fitting of a canula. Its been busy.
Violet has been a little superstar – grinning broadly at anyone who will give her the time of day. She has outright refused to eat and sleep as she would at home though – far too much going on and unfamiliar surroundings make for a slightly unsettled baby. She finally nodded off at 9pm. I am sleeping in a chairbed type thing next to her and I am so very grateful I can stay with her.
Tomorrow is the big day then… she is allowed one final milk feed at 4.45am, then water up until 9am and then she will be taken for her op at 11am. Although she will be gone from us for 4 – 5 hours, the operation itself should last around an hour and a half.
I doubt I will get much sleep tonight. I am so very grateful to the NHS right now though. I am very grateful that places like GOSH exist.
Thank you all for your ongoing support. Thank you for all the messages, emails and text messages. It's nice to know that there are so many people rooting for my littlest lady.

2021 NFL Draft: Pro execs, scouts, coaches break down the QB class
Published: Apr 22, 2021 at 11:20 AM
Tom Pelissero
NFL.com Reporter
Clemson's Trevor Lawrence is No. 1. BYU's Zach Wilson is No. 2.
Those were the consensus rankings within the league before the 2021 NFL Draft process kicked into high gear, and they haven't changed over the past six weeks or so, with the Jacksonville Jaguars still widely expected to select Lawrence with the top overall pick and the New York Jets likely to take Wilson second on April 29.
Should Ohio State's Justin Fields, Alabama's Mac Jones or North Dakota State's Trey Lance be the San Francisco 49ers' pick at No. 3? Is Stanford's Davis Mills, Texas A&M's Kellen Mond or Florida's Kyle Trask the best bet among prospects likely destined for Days 2 and 3? There are 32 draft boards, and you probably could find every possible permutation of rankings on one of them.
Here's the full breakdown of the 13 quarterbacks with the best chance to get drafted, based on conversations with NFL executives, scouts and coaches, all speaking on the condition of anonymity for competitive reasons and to provide a blunt assessment:
Clemson · Round 1
The favorite to be the No. 1 pick practically from the moment he took his first college snap, Lawrence checks all the boxes -- size (6-foot-5 5/8, 213 pounds), accuracy, athletic ability, production, toughness, intelligence, intangibles -- and accomplished practically everything that could've been asked of him over three seasons at Clemson. He threw for 10,098 yards and 90 touchdowns and ran for another 18 scores in 40 college games, posted a 34-2 record as a starter and led the Tigers to a national championship as a true freshman, plus a title-game appearance in 2019 and the college football playoffs in 2020. In that context, much-discussed comments he made recently to Sports Illustrated about not having a chip on his shoulder make sense. "His adversity's the expectations. He can't have a bad day," an AFC scout said. "To his credit, he's almost too good to be true of a kid. There are not a lot of adults, in our league or any walk of life, that can handle that spotlight that kid's been under. And he's kind of embraced it. This guy's been told how great he is. This guy's had those expectations coming in, which was a different kind of pressure, and he lived up to it."
The question now is, can Lawrence live up to the expectations in the NFL, too? Scouts and coaches who have dug into the tape see a player more than deserving of the No. 1 pick, though not a perfect prospect or quite an Andrew Luck-type slam dunk. Lawrence doesn't have an elite arm. He could add some more pounds to his frame. Some question his pocket awareness and feel. He has a little hitch in his release. He'll throw some balls into coverage and get some balls batted down because he has a little lower release. He'll have a learning curve coming from a Clemson offense doesn't feature a ton of pro-style, dropback-type reads and throws, though fellow Tigers alum Deshaun Watson made that transition fairly smoothly.
"Trevor Lawrence is a really good player," an NFC coordinator said. "I don't know if he's a generational talent like people are saying." Said an AFC quarterbacks coach: "If you didn't take him and you're Jacksonville, and it turned out that he was a perennial Pro Bowler, then you'll never live it down. They have to take him. I think the intangibles are there. He can throw the ball. But he does not have unique, rare playmaking ability. If I'm comparing last year to this year, Joe Burrow (who was drafted first overall by the Bengals) is picked over Trevor Lawrence 100 times out of 100." Lawrence moved up his pro day throwing session to Feb. 12 and had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder four days later. He has already resumed running and began throwing a few weeks ago, a source said, keeping him on track to be ready for training camp. "There's just over-scouting that goes on in our league -- like a guy's got to have holes or something," a college scouting director said. "I go back to when [Lawrence] was a freshman -- if he could enter the draft [then], he would've been the first pick to me after his freshman year. What is giving people pause are probably the two (college football playoff) games he lost, the one to Burrow (and LSU, in the title game) and the one to (Justin) Fields (and Ohio State, in a semifinal game) where he wasn't at his best, to be straight about it. But he's so good and talented and athletic. C'mon. That guy can win you Super Bowls."
Zach Wilson
BYU · Round 1
If there were any doubt about Wilson's status as the consensus No. 2 QB in this class, he erased it with an epic pro day throwing session March 26 that showcased all the flash in his game. "Zach Wilson's may be the best I've ever seen," said one general manager who attended. "And his arm is ridiculous." With latitude from BYU's coaches and extensive work with his private QB coach, John Beck, Wilson has evolved his mechanics to the point he can flick the ball across his body with ease like a shortstop turning a double play. And after dealing with injuries his first two seasons on campus, Wilson came back healthy in 2020, won a training camp battle for the job and had a monster season: 73.5 percent passing for 3,692 yards with 33 touchdown passes and just three interceptions, plus 10 rushing TDs as the Cougars went 11-1, albeit against inferior competition.
"You watch him flutter some balls around with the bum shoulder and then the broken thumb at the end of [2019] you're not that impressed. Then you watch him this year and he's just f---ing ripping it everywhere," said an NFC scout who studied Wilson extensively. "The kid's smart as s---. He's gonna work. He's gonna compete. He's really talented. It's just a matter of how long that story can play out and not rub some people the wrong way, being a true dude and a leader and that presence." Those have been the two main questions throughout the pre-draft process: There's durability, given Wilson's relatively slight frame (6-2 1/8, 214) and injury history, including a torn labrum in his right (throwing) shoulder suffered in high school that required surgery after his freshman season at BYU in 2018, a torn labrum in his left shoulder and a fractured right thumb that required surgery and sidelined him for over a month during the 2019 season. "My man is not a big guy, now," a college scouting director said. "He's got thin shoulders, he's got a thin waist. You get you a couple Tremaine Edmunds and (Dont'a) Hightowers in your s---, and you ain't lasting long."
And then there's Wilson's ability to connect with NFL teammates, who surely can get on board with their new QB's edge, boy-band looks and swagger, as long as Wilson's dealing and they're winning games. One executive described it last month as "a little bit of Baker Mayfield syndrome, where you like [the edge] to a point. It's just whether or not you can control it and toe the line." Others compare Zach Wilson to Russell Wilson, a seven-time Pro Bowl pick and Super Bowl champion whose relationship with the Seahawks has become strained after nearly a decade in Seattle, with his personal brand growing beyond football. There's no spotlight like New York, where the Jets own the No. 2 overall pick. If Zach Wilson stays healthy, he has the talent to be a superstar. "If I was picking No. 1 -- hoo, man, it'd be hard for me not to take him over Trevor," an AFC quarterbacks coach said. "He's got real playmaking ability. He's shorter (than Lawrence) -- I get it. But he's got ball all about him. He makes plays -- unique plays."
Ohio State · Round 1
The physical traits are all there for Fields (6-2 3/4, 227 pounds), who has a big arm and backed up his play speed by blazing a 4.46-second 40-yard dash at his pro day. "Justin Fields is uber-talented," an NFC coordinator said. "To me, he is probably a more pure quarterback than Kyler Murray (who was drafted first overall by the Cardinals in 2019), throws it better and he's bigger. I'd love to get my hands on that guy." A transfer from Georgia after his true freshman season, Fields was a Heisman finalist in his first season with the Buckeyes in 2019, when he put up huge numbers -- 3,273 passing yards with 41 touchdowns and just three interceptions, plus 484 yards rushing with 10 more scores -- on a team that went 13-1. He helped Ohio State reach the national championship game in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, completing 70.2 percent of his passes for 2,100 yards and 22 touchdowns in eight games.
Media speculation about Fields' work ethic was overblown, though several coaches and scouts said they have questions about Fields' drive based in part on how things for him ended at Georgia after the much less-talented Jake Fromm retained the job in 2018. Others praised Fields for starting a petition and becoming a face of the successful push to get the Big Ten to reconsider its decision to cancel fall football, when he could've just turned his attention to the draft. And he showed toughness by missing just one play after a monster hit early in the national semifinal against Clemson, finishing with six touchdown passes in a 49-28 rout of Lawrence and the Tigers. The real question continues to be how well Fields processes and sees the field, coming from an Ohio State offense that's designed to limit what the QB has to read and let him play fast. "He has to see it open," an AFC executive said. "I think you appreciate [Fields' game] more when you see him live, because it's just how he's built. And I think he'll work all f---ing day. But I don't think it's ever been demanded of him from the mental side of the game." Said a coach: "You've got to do your homework, because the fact of the matter is, he's just not being asked to (process) for a lot of things. But you talk to (Ohio State coach) Ryan Day, you talk to those guys out there, they'll tell you he absolutely can. And in the interview, I would tell you yes. There's going to be a learning curve, but I think he can do it, for sure." Several people brought up the struggles of past Ohio State QBs coming from the same system, though as one AFC GM put it: "It's not Fields' fault (Dwayne) Haskins was a [mess]." Fields' hands (9 1/8 inches) are on the smaller side, but big enough.
Teams learned through the pre-draft medical process that Fields takes medication to manage epilepsy -- a neurological disorder that can cause seizures, but which hasn't affected Fields' football career, and which doctors are confident he'll grow out of, as other members of his family have. Team medical staffs have discussed Fields' treatment plan and whether any events during his NFL career, such as a concussion, could put him at greater risk. But as Day tweeted Wednesday, Fields never missed a game during his college career, and he wouldn't be the first NFL player to excel while managing epilepsy. (Most notable, Pro Football Hall of Fame guard Alan Faneca took medication to control seizures throughout his career.)
There remain questions about how Fields' quieter personality and leadership style will play in an NFL locker room (though it's worth noting the 2020 Offensive Rookie of the Year, Justin Herbert, faced similar questions during the pre-draft process a year ago). The early word was, Fields didn't really get to know his teammates his first year on campus, focusing solely on winning the job. But Fields was named a captain in 2020, and the people at Ohio State now vouch for him on that front, too. "The people there believe in Justin," an AFC coordinator said. "His ability to throw the deep ball [is exceptional]. He was pissed he ran 4.4 (at the pro day), he kind of stumbled, but that's a big man now that can move. The big thing's going to be, does all this negative publicity make him have a chip on his shoulder? Is he that kind of kid?"
Alabama · Round 1
Can a quarterback without a special physical trait be a top-three draft pick? That's the question for the 49ers, who have been linked extensively to Jones since trading up to No. 3 and have a coach in Kyle Shanahan who values two traits Jones does bring to the table: quick processing and accuracy. "It's a fit for what they do -- an exact fit for what they do," an AFC GM said. "And [Shanahan's] one of the few coaches that can identify and stand on the table for it."
Starting just 17 college games, Jones was extremely productive after waiting his turn behind Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa at Alabama, completing 74.3 percent of his passes for 6,126 yards and 56 touchdowns with just seven interceptions in his career. That includes a 2020 season in which Jones completed 77.4 percent of passes for 4,500 yards and a 41:4 TD-to-INT ratio while helping the Crimson Tide to a 13-0 record and a national title. Jones also earned first-team all-America honors, the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's top QB and an invite to the Senior Bowl, where he had a good week. "Mac's 'Bama tape is really, really good. There's no denying that," a college scouting director said. "But you watch him in Mobile -- this doesn't really feel like a big, big, big-time guy. You trade all that s---, for him?"
Jones (6-2 5/8, 217) certainly doesn't have the athletic ability or chiseled physique of some of the other top QBs, but he still timed and tested at his pro day, wanting to compete. He has a high football IQ, is super competitive and impressed in interviews. "If you said, 'Take one of these guys to start in a game tomorrow in the NFL,' he's the most ready," an NFC quarterbacks coach said. "But he's right up against the ceiling to me, where these other guys, if they can progress -- you're talking about Justin Fields and Zach Wilson -- those are going to be dangerous dudes now." And there's the rub on Jones, whose skeptics also point out he benefitted from playing on the nation's most talented team, behind an offensive line that gave him a lot of clean pockets.
He had to answer during the pre-draft process for some issues in his past, including trouble controlling his temper that carried over from his youth tennis days to early in his tenure at Alabama, as well as a well-publicized DUI arrest as a freshman in 2017. "I don't even trust the player, let alone that," an AFC executive said. "Who can't throw to four first-rounders and hand the ball to Najee (Harris)?" But those who have spoken to Jones say he comes across as mature and having learned from his mistakes, and the people at Alabama vouch for him -- including teammates Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith, who spoke highly in interviews of Jones even in comparison to Tagovailoa, and former Alabama OC Steve Sarkisian.
"The one thing about him that's different than the other [top QBs] is he can come up to the line of scrimmage and he can tell you where he's going with it pre-snap," an NFC scout said. "He's smart enough to know where his outs are and what you're going to do with him based on where the safeties are at and what you're doing on defense. I felt like he was really, really sharp, and Sark says unbelievable things about him."
Trey Lance
North Dakota State · Round 1
It's a total projection on Lance, who has NFL size (6-3 7/8, 224), arm strength and athletic ability, but started just 17 games against lesser competition in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, operating a run-first offense for a team that has won eight of the last nine FCS championships. "If you're making the argument for him, you can put a tape together and say, 'Wow, look at this!' " an AFC quarterbacks coach said. "If you're completely objective -- maybe it's in there, but it's not consistent enough. His accuracy's kind of all over the place. There's no question he's talented. But almost every game, they're the better team, and it's not even close. Their offense is a lot of one-read, find-the-checkdown -- there's not a lot of NFL-style progression offense. You're betting on the come with him completely."
In 2019, Lance completed 192 of 287 passes (66.9%) for 2,786 yards and 28 touchdowns without an interception -- a remarkable stat at any level -- in addition to running for another 1,100 yards and 14 scores. He has smallish hands (9 1/8 inches). A lower, somewhat elongated release (which Lance has worked to tighten during the pre-draft process) raises questions about how well Lance can adapt when he sees the speed and disguise of NFL defenses. And accuracy remains a big question on Lance, who did nothing to answer it in the only game he played in 2020 after COVID-19 bumped the Bison's conference schedule to the spring: a "showcase" game in October against Central Arkansas in which Lance accounted for four touchdowns in a 39-28 win, but seemed to be pressing; he finished 15-of-30 passing, relied more on his legs, lost a fumble and threw the first interception of his career.
"Trey Lance misses way too many throws for me," an NFC quarterbacks coach said. "The game he played this year was atrocious. It was the first one I watched, and honestly, I couldn't believe this was the guy they were talking about." Said a college scouting director: "That's Central f---ing Arkansas. That's bad. It's hard to say, 'We're gonna take this guy top-three' -- what's the best team this guy has ever played? James Madison? That's scary. But I will say, everyone you ever talk to about the kid, the makeup is legitimately through the roof. Whatever the ceiling is, he'll make it."
For all the unanswerable questions about Lance the player, nobody is betting against Lance the person. "His interview was amazing. He's a smart m-----f-----. He's 20 years old," said an AFC executive, who downplayed issues with Lance's accuracy. "He's f---ing throwing to me and you. He throws a pretty deep ball. I think the kid has big upside." Unlike many QBs coming out of college, Lance has operated from under center and had the authority to make checks at the line. Carson Wentz made the jump from the same program and was an MVP candidate by his second season, though he had more experience (42 games, 23 starts) and helped his cause against tougher competition at the Senior Bowl. There were no all-star games for Lance, who has thrown more than 23 passes in a game just twice. Some who attended Lance's first pro day March 12 felt he looked tight with his release. "His second workout was much better," said an NFC executive who watched the tape. "He didn't look so mechanical. His motion, it seemed more fluid. I thought he let it rip a little bit more. He showed more movement stuff, in terms of throwing on the run and off-platform -- just more of what his game is." That workout included drills and throws utilized by the 49ers, and speculation has picked up in league circles the past few days that Lance is in the mix for the No. 3 pick. There's still a lot of unknown. But as one NFC GM put it: "Trey Lance has got a chance."
Kellen Mond
Texas A&M · Round 2-3
Mond shattered Aggies records in career passing yards (9,661), passing touchdowns (71), completions (801) and attempts (1,358) in 47 career games (44 starts), then helped his cause with a strong Senior Bowl performance that earned him MVP honors. Multiple sources raised the long-shot possibility of Mond (6-2 5/8, 211) being a surprise first-round pick. But scouts and coaches struggle to get over how stiff Mond looks on tape and in person -- a common thread in Jimbo Fisher-trained QBs, such as Jameis Winston and Christian Ponder. As an AFC executive put it on Mond: "Even though he's fast (4.61 40) and has a good arm, he's like a g--d--- robot." One coordinator compared Mond to another onetime Fisher QB, EJ Manuel. "He's got that Jimbo thing about him," an AFC quarterbacks coach said of Mond. "Jimbo teaches this very stiff elbows in the drop. He kind of looks robotic, and he really shouldn't be a robotic type of guy."
Mond transferred to IMG Academy after his junior year of high school and is almost overly polished in interviews. He's known as a good note-taker and has a high football IQ. "He's a reserved, quiet dude, but really, really smart," an NFC quarterbacks coach said of Mond. "The thing I get stuck on with him was, there wasn't anything I could say was outstanding about him physically. It's not elite arm strength, it's not consistent down-the-field accuracy. I thought he was going to be more athletic than he is on tape. He's a little stiff." Mond's more slight build, particularly in the lower body, also raises questions, though he's been durable throughout his college career, even while getting sacked 34 times in 2018.
"Jimbo asks a lot of quarterbacks to operate that system, and he's been able to do it even though he looks like a wideout," an AFC scout said. "I don't know if he's necessarily the big, vocal leader presence. We were walking around the Senior Bowl, he had his headphones on, staying in his own world. But on the field, I think the guy's got some moxie about him. And he knows the game."
Kyle Trask
Florida · Round 2-3
A second-team All-America pick and Heisman Trophy finalist, Trask set school records with 43 touchdown passes (most in FBS) and 4,283 yards last season for the Gators, whom he led to 16 wins in 22 starts over the past two seasons after taking over the starting job from an injured Feleipe Franks. He has NFL size (6-5 1/4, 236), huge hands (10 1/8 inches) and a savviness scouts appreciate. But Trask is an old-school pocket passer in a league that increasingly favors QBs who can extend plays. "I think he's tough, he's competitive, he was really productive in obviously the toughest division in all of college football," an NFC quarterbacks coach said. "But I would watch him sometimes -- the lower half is so heavy and slow. He looks hurt. He wears that big knee brace, which doesn't help. If you don't have a big running game and you don't have a good offensive line, this dude's going to get killed."
In fairness, Trask was hurt toward the end of last season -- he played through a severe left high ankle sprain and was in so much pain in the Cotton Bowl against Oklahoma he had to go to the bench early in the second half. Trask missed the Senior Bowl and didn't even resume jogging until early March, weeks before his pro day, where he ran a 5.07 40, and is moving better since. The rest of Trask's medical report is long -- surgery for a torn meniscus in the spring of 2017, a broken bone in each foot that required a screw in 2017 and 2018, respectively, and minor surgery on his left (non-throwing) elbow to remove a bone chip -- but nothing overly concerning to teams.
He throws with good touch and timing, but scouts rate his overall arm talent as good, not great. "Trask is just an absolute statue back there. And I'm not sure he's got the arm talent to match it," an AFC coordinator said. "Normally if you've got a guy that's not very mobile, not very swift on his feet, he's gotta make up for it with a Howitzer." Trask does have fans; one scout ranked him fourth in this year's class, ahead of Mac Jones and Trey Lance. A team like the Buccaneers, who have Tom Brady at quarterback and Byron Leftwich as offensive coordinator, surely wouldn't be spooked by drafting a QB who has to play on-schedule from the pocket. And Trask has proven people wrong before -- he didn't start a game in high school while playing behind future Houston and Miami QB D'Eriq King, had only one FBS scholarship offer and sat for three years at Florida before getting his shot. In his first road start -- ever -- he threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-28 loss to eventual national champion LSU in 2019. "Trask was catching steam there during the season when he was putting up the numbers," another AFC exec said. "I just think there's a clear step below, really across the board -- athleticism, arm strength. Even going back and studying him again, it's like, eh, maybe it's a little better than I thought, but I think maybe there's just a ceiling on the guy."
Davis Mills
Stanford · Round 2-3
Mills started just 11 games in four years at Stanford, where he completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 3,468 yards with 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions. But a solid pro day in the rain last month showed off Mills' upside -- if he can stay healthy. "It's effortless when the ball came out. Really good mechanics. He really grew on me," an NFC quarterbacks coach said. "If you came back to me in two years and said that guy is a middle-of-the-pack starter in the NFL, I'm not going to be shocked. And if you tell me he's a backup or he didn't make it, I wouldn't be shocked. He's got something." Said an AFC coordinator: "I think he can make all the throws, shows you arm talent to make every throw. Only thing that scares you there is obviously the injuries."
One of the nation's top recruits in high school, Mills suffered a torn ACL before his senior year in 2016, and sources say he has had four total surgeries on his left knee, the last in 2018: the original ACL reconstruction, a revision (redo) on the ACL, a meniscus repair and a procedure to remove a suture. He finally got his chance with the Cardinal in 2019 and, after missing several games with a left calf strain, returned to finish strong, passing for a school-record 504 yards against Washington State. He also had some bad luck, missing last season's opener after a false positive test for COVID-19, and played through a left hip strain.
"His hype's a little bit out of control," an NFC scout said. "He's not mobile. He's not durable. His arm's OK. Kevin Hogan almost had more than he has in terms of just mobility and making plays. He came in beat up. He already doesn't run well. His escape ability under pressure, clutch playmaking -- all that stuff is really, really suspect." Mills did flash some athletic ability at his pro day, running a 4.81 40 and posting a 6.95 three-cone drill at 6-3 3/4, 217 pounds that was the best among draftable QBs in this class. "He is off the charts in terms of intelligence," an AFC quarterbacks coach said. "He's only played 11 games. Where does he fit? I don't know. But if the physical catches up, he's got a chance."
Feleipe Franks
Arkansas · Round 5-6
NFL size (6-6 5/8, 234 pounds) and an impressive pro day workout -- including a 4.59 40-yard dash -- ensured somebody will gamble on Franks' physical traits as a developmental prospect. "He's just raw as s---," an NFC GM said. "But he's big. He's 6-6 and ran 4.5. He's got a big arm. He can throw the ball. He just needs a lot of mechanical work. But he'll get drafted, because he's got a lot of upside."
Franks started 24 games at Florida before suffering a dislocated and fractured ankle in 2019 that opened the door for Kyle Trask. He went as a graduate transfer to Arkansas, started working with a private QB coach, Steve Calhoun, and completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 2,107 yards with 17 touchdowns and four interceptions in eight starts last fall. "Film at Arkansas was probably better than what I was expecting off the Florida stuff," a college scouting director said. But Franks still has a long ways to go. As another team source said: "Of the guys I interviewed at the Senior Bowl, [Franks is the one] you walked away saying, he's going to have to learn a lot."
Franks' arm is so good, the Boston Red Sox took him in the 31st round of the 2019 MLB Amateur Draft as a pitcher, even though Franks hadn't played baseball since his junior year of high school. His brother, Jordan, played three seasons in the NFL as a tight end, and one coordinator predicted Franks could be taken for a "Logan Thomas-type role" -- drafted as a QB, with the possibility of moving him to tight end in a year or two. "I liked him a little more than our scouts, just because he has traits," another coordinator said. "If you're going to coach a guy and try to develop him, don't get (Texas' Sam) Ehlinger -- you know exactly what you're getting. Draft Franks, because the 5 percent chance [he] can be a No. 2, you might hit."
Ian Book
Notre Dame · Round 6-7
A two-time captain who became the winningest quarterback in the illustrious history of the Fighting Irish -- 30-5, including 15-0 at home -- Book has innate playmaking instincts. He knows how to manage a game. He has impressed in interviews with teams and showed off athletic ability at his pro day, running a 4.65 40 with a 32.5-inch vertical and 9-7 broad jump. He just lacks NFL arm talent and stands 6 feet even.
"Maybe somebody takes a flier on a Book, but I don't think that kid's got what it takes to play in the league," an AFC coordinator said. "He's got perfectly clean pockets that he bails on all the time, and it's because he can't see." In 47 college games (35 starts), Book completed 63.8 percent of his passes for 8,948 yards and 72 touchdowns with 20 interceptions. He ran for another 1,517 yards and 17 scores. "I enjoyed watching his tape," an NFC coordinator said. "He's got some swag to him. He's got some moxie to him. He knows how to play football."
Sam Ehlinger
Texas · Round 7 or priority free agent
With 43 career starts, Ehlinger (6-1 1/8, 220) is the most experienced QB in this class and accounted for 127 touchdowns with the Longhorns -- 94 passing and 33 running -- in a no-huddle, run-first, spread offense light on NFL-style concepts. "He can throw the s--- out of the RPO slant, I'll tell you that. If I need him to complete an 18-yard dig route, I have no idea, because it's not on tape," an NFC quarterbacks coach said. "I just liked [Ehlinger] as a tough-ass, competitive dude." Ehlinger's vertical jump (36.5) was the best among draftable QBs who tested this year. He was a two-time team captain and a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy (a.k.a. the academic Heisman).
"I'm not an Ehlinger guy," an NFC coordinator said. "Now, his interview was unbelievable. That kid should be a coach." Ehlinger fulfilled a lifelong dream by suiting up for Texas, the alma mater of his father, Ross, who passed away in 2013 from a heart attack while competing in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon. "This kid is super mature, really grounded," an AFC quarterbacks coach said. "He doesn't quite throw it well enough."
Shane Buechele
SMU · Round 7 or priority free agent
Buechele was the starter at Texas before ankle and shoulder injuries in 2017 opened the door for Sam Ehlinger, who never gave back the job. Buechele left as a graduate transfer and spent the past two seasons at SMU, leading the Mustangs to a 17-6 record while completing 63.8 percent of his passes for 7,024 yards and 57 touchdowns with 16 interceptions. "Just watching him play, he's a little bit like [Case Keenum]," an AFC coordinator said. "He's not the best passer, but he'll move around to make plays and improvise a little bit." Like Ian Book, Buechele has size (6-0 1/4, 210) and arm talent working against him. But Buechele has leadership traits, is competitive and has the chance to develop into a solid backup with upside. "He's a good little college football player," an AFC quarterbacks coach said. "Probably a real low ceiling, but he'll be in the mix."
Jamie Newman
Wake Forest · Round 7 or priority free agent
There's no denying Newman (6-2 7/8, 234) is talented and flashed at times at Wake Forest, where he accounted for 45 touchdowns in 21 career games (16 starts) from 2017 to '19. But the events of the past 16 months -- transferring to Georgia in hopes of showing what he could do in a pro-style offense, not winning the starting job outright, then making a controversial decision to opt out amidst COVID-19 and finally underwhelming on and off the field at the Senior Bowl -- leave it in doubt that Newman gets drafted at all. "He should [get drafted] based on the way he looks, and he's got a nice arm," a college scouting director said. "I just thought his Wake Forest tape was no good. There's very questionable makeup on the kid. ... He goes to Georgia, gets beat out. He leaves the team. ... Then the Senior Bowl wasn't very good."
Still, some team may be willing to take a shot on Newman's athletic traits. "He's built like a linebacker. They were doing a lot of the zone-read, quarterback runs, he's running over guys (at Wake Forest)," an AFC scout said. "It's a shame, because I think people see the talent and they see the potential. There has just been some decision-making along the road that [makes you] question some maturity there from that position."

Merry day after Christmas! Probably a lot of you are busy out in the throng of shopping the after Christmas sales, not me. It's snow piled slippery streets and 4 degrees F, so definitely not me. Even after a heater warmed five minute car ride home last night I could not get my legs and feet warmed up. Luckily I was so tired I fell asleep anyway.
1. What caring thing are you doing for yourself today?
I am dressing nicely, donning pretty sparkly earrings, and joining my family for a beautiful day.
2. List at least five of your favorite spices.
3. What can you always be found with?
My backpack of supplies, phone.
4. What inspired you this week?
My middle son. He was always the first one up on Christmas morning, and yesterday was no exception. I received a call at 6:30 and woke to his message of thanks for their gifts. T and his wife live a couple of hours away, and F's parents visiting from Paris, were there for Christmas. What a treat. Meeting them for the first time at the wedding a few years ago was a wonderful experience. Even though we didn't speak French and they didn't speak English, F is a professional interpreter so we did fine.
Thanksgiving we laughed so much with T and F, made our day. He is a rewarding son and they are a loving couple. I remember him in high school telling me that he was going to have a successful, in a suit, carrying a briefcase job. ☺He started working at fifteen and was favored with a first job experience with a great boss. The principles he learned from that man have remained. I'm very proud of him.
I walked the beach, and went to the gym.


A review of historical posting data reveals that posting activity on Wittenberg has dropped off significantly over the past several months. Since the start of the 47th Cosa on 1 October 2014, Wittenberg has experienced approximately 24.6 posts per day. This compares to 54.4 posts per day during the 46th Cosa, 41.7 posts per day during the 45th Cosa, and 74.7 posts per day during the 44th Cosa.
As can be seen from the figures on the right (and the graph[s] accompanying this article), the posting level on Witt was astonishingly high during the 44th Cosa in 2012-2013, fell significantly during the 45th Cosa in 2013-2014, recovered somewhat during the 46th Cosa in 2014, and fell precipitously during the 47th Cosa. Put another way, the activity level on Witt was approximately 120% higher during the 46th Cosa than it is now, 70% higher during the 45th Cosa, and 200% higher during the 44th Cosa.
The recent decline in Witt activity is also significant from a longer-term historical perspective. The average posting rate from the creation of Wittenberg in 2004 to the beginning of the current term was 32.8 posts per day, or 33% higher than the current rate of 24.6 posts per day.
It also appears that the posting rate during the 37th Cosa, in 2007-2008, was approximately 60% higher than the 47th Cosa to date. And that was with a voting age population that was only about 40-47% of what it is today. (Note that this means that when population is taken into account, the per capita posting rate on Witt was higher during the 37th Cosa than in all three of the most recent terms--the 44th Cosa's per capita rate appears to have been slightly higher than in the 37th).
One might question whether the posting figures from the 47th Cosa to date are skewed by the fact that they represent less than a full Cosa term or less than a full calendar year. For example, it may be that posting levels tend to be higher during elections than during the initial months of a Cosa term, or that posting levels tend to be lower during the winter. The 47th Cosa posting rate of 24.6 posts per day is based only on the first 143 days of the term, from 1 October 2014 through 21 February 2015.
The election cycle does not appear to explain the decline. In all three previous Cosas, the average posting rate was slightly higher during the first 143 days of the term than during the remainder of the term. Neither does seasonal variation appear to be a factor, considering the average posting rate from 1 October through 21 February during the two previous comparable periods (2012-2013 and 2013-2014). The 2012-2013 period fell entirely within the 44th Cosa, and was slightly (less than 2 percent) below the overall average for that term, and the 2013-2014 period straddled the 45th and 46th Cosas and was in between the averages for those terms (49.1 posts per day versus 41.7 and 54.4). For those whose minds turn immediately to partisan considerations, the dropoff also does not appear to be related in any simple and direct way to party control of the Cosa, as the posting rate during the last RUMP-controlled Cosa (the 45th) was lower than during the the first Cosa controlled by an MRPT-led coalition (the 46th).
For now, the reasons for the recent decline in posting activity on Wittenberg are unclear, but further research and analysis may provide clues. But we can hypothesise a number of possible explanations. First, it may be that Talossans are switching from posting on Wittenberg to other forms of active participation in Talossan life. Second, it may be that most citizens are simply less active in Talossa than was historically the case. Third, it may be that many of the citizens who were most active during recent terms have recently cut back on their Talossan activity, and the newer generation of immigrants has not produced the same kind of hyper-active citizens to make up for that loss. It seems likely that the true explanation involves some combination of all of these factors, and possibly others as well.


This was the first broadcast that let the world know the Winnipeg Jets were in fact going to be leaving the city of Winnipeg. This was a horrible and dark day for not only the city of Winnipeg, the Country of Canada but, the World as a whole.
We all know how far reached the Winnipeg Jets fan base was and, this day will certainly go down in history as the darkest day of Winnipeg's history.
They will be back & the Light will shine brightly once again in this city!

Q: JavaScript - Filtering an array from 2D array I'm attempting to add a condition to my 2D array that I am getting back from an API call. The data being returned is a top 3 rankings for state. So for example, there are 3 values that read "California" with the second index being the rank. I am attempting to apply a condition to filter out any state that does not return appear 3 times, for example: If (state name) does not have 1, 2, 3 dont return. My issue is that I do not know how to apply this logic successfully.
I've attempted looping through an array and putting a condition if the state name does not happen 3 times, remove from the array.
My expected result would be this  :
const data = [ [ "California", 1 , 23432], ["Califonria", 2, 22132], ["California", 3, 49343], ["New York", 1, 3231], ["New York", 2 , 3023], ["New York", 3, 2932]

here is a snippet that i've tried:

const data = [ [ "California", 1 , 23432], ["Califonria", 2, 22132], ["California", 3, 49343], ["New York", 1, 3231], ["New York", 2 , 3023], ["New York", 3, 2932], ["Georgia", 1, 3423]]

for (let i = 0; data.length > i; i++) {
if (data[0].length < 3) {
     data.splice(i,1)
}
}

console.log(data)

A: You can build a count of how many times each state name occurs in your original array and then filter the array based on the count being 3 for that state name:

const data = [
  ["California", 1, 23432],
  ["California", 2, 22132],
  ["California", 3, 49343],
  ["New York", 1, 3231],
  ["New York", 2, 3023],
  ["New York", 3, 2932],
  ["Georgia", 1, 3423]
];

const counts = data.reduce((c, v) => {
  c[v[0]] = (c[v[0]] || 0) + 1;
  return c;
}, {});
const result = data.filter(v => counts[v[0]] == 3);
console.log(result);

fou un militar i polític mallorquí, que ostentà els càrrecs de capità general de Cuba i Filipines, ministre de la Guerra i President del Govern d'Espanya.

Inicis
El pare de Jovellar era també militar, originari de la Franja de Ponent, i la seva mare una dama de Manresa. La destinació del seu pare va fer que Joaquim nasqués a Palma el 28 de desembre de 1819. Va voler seguir la carrera militar i als setze anys era alferes. Participà en la Primera Guerra Carlina i, en acabada, fou nomenat capità i destinat a Cuba, de 1842 a 1849.

De retorn a la Península, el 1953 fou nomenat major i el 1860, participant com a ajudant personal de Leopoldo O'Donnell a la guerra d'Àfrica, fou ferit a la batalla de Wad-Ras i ascendit a coronel.

El 1866 es va enfrontar a la revolta de la caserna de San Gil i fou ferit. Va rebre un ascens a general de divisió però, descontent amb el rumb del govern, va recolzar la Revolució de 1868, que va provocar la caiguda de la reina Isabel II.

Partidari de la Restauració
El 1872 fou nomenat tinent general i l'any següent fou enviat pel govern de la República com a capità general a Cuba, on es va veure implicat en l'incident del Virginius. El 1874 tornà a la Península i feu costat a Martínez-Campos en el pronunciament a favor de l'accés al tron d'Alfons XII. Al costat d'aquest participà, com a general en cap de l'Exèrcit del Centre, a l'ofensiva contra els carlins, que foren arraconats al Nord, i que significà el principi de la fi de la tercera guerra carlina.

President del Govern Espanyol
El mateix 1874 fou nomenat ministre de la Guerra per Antonio Cánovas del Castillo. El 1875 fou promogut a Capità General pel rei. Aquest mateix any, dins de les reformes pensades per al nou règim de la Restauració, Cánovas no va considerar pertinent barrejar el seu nom amb la supressió del sufragi universal i el retorn al sistema censatari a les eleccions, per això va provocar una crisi de govern i Jovellar, mantenint el ministeri de la Guerra, va assumir també la presidència del govern des del 12 de setembre al 2 de desembre de 1875. En aquest període hom va procedir a derogar la Constitució de 1869 i Cánovas va recuperar immediatament la presidència i va convocar les eleccions.

El 1876 va tornar a Cuba com a capità general. Hi va estar tres anys. El 1883 fou requerit com a capità general de les Filipines, fins a 1885. Aquest any va tornar a ésser nomenat ministre de la Guerra per Práxedes Mateo Sagasta.

Jovellar va morir a Madrid el 16 d'abril de 1892.

Dedicatòries
A Vinaròs, una plaça cèntrica de la població rep el nom de plaça Jovellar, en honor de la participació d'aquest en la recuperació de la zona de mans de les tropes carlines.

A l'Havana també hi ha un carrer principal amb el seu nom on, encara que la denominació oficial és 27 de Noviembre, hom li manté el nom popular.

L'escriptor i periodista Josep Joaquim Ribó li dedica un assaig històric sobre la seva vida.

The 2012 Lululemon Warehouse sale will be held in…wait for it…Ottawa, ON from January 19-22. Why is it always held somewhere in Ontario when there are warehouses all over the place? Ah well, I guess we do have the outlet here in Vancouver representing the West Coast which will probably have most of the same items marked down anyways. If you're in the area, Lululemon is hosting a job fair for the Warehouse Sale from January 4 and if you can swing it I'm pretty sure the staff gets first dibs at all the merchandise.

In this video, we will demonstrate how photons interact with matter.
namely, the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering and pair production.
In these processes, the photon is either absorbed or scattered by a wide angle.
A photon beam will thus be attenuated rather than lose energy.
proportional to the cross section of the process.
as a function of absorber thickness.
We've already calculated an example of this in the optional video 1.3a.
Photons are detected by interactions which produce charged particles.
between the ionization energy of an atom and about 100kV of photon energy.
atomic electron, dominant around photon energies roughly 1 MeV.
photon energies much larger than 1 MeV.
We will discuss these processes one by one in what follows.
the atomic electron is released when the atom absorbs the photon.
is typically between and 1 and 25 electron volts.
The photoelectric process is not feasible for a free electron.
It would violate conservation of momentum.
since the proximity of the nucleus eases absorption of the recoil energy.
it sets the scale of this cross section.
favors the photoelectric process for low energy photons in heavy materials.
the energy dependence becomes simply 1/E_gamma.
by another electron of an upper shell, say the L shell for example.
if the available energy is greater than the ionization energy for higher shells.
a photon is scattered off a quasi-free electron.
by quantum electrodynamics that we'll discuss in module 4.
on the bottom of this page.
is typically about 0.1 barn in the forward direction.
at low energies and 0.04 barn at 100 keV.
At high energy, the process is thus dominated by scattering in the forward direction.
the photon can convert into an electron-positron pair.
with a small correction for the recoil fo the nucleus.
but little energy is transmitted to the nucleus, about 1 MeV for heavy nuclei.
is given in terms of the radiation length.
the length after which an electron loses all but 1/e its energy by bremsstrahlung.

not in the field of a nucleus.
This produces what is called a trident.
charged particle tracks you see attached to the left vertex.
their trajectories are the spirals that you see on the left.
Its stiff track goes to the right with very little curvature.
which in turn converts into an electron-positron pair.
You see this pair by the V-shaped tracks on the right.
then depends only on the material, that is to say on X_0.
is the inverse of this probability and thus 9/7 of a radiation length.
of all processes to the photon total cross section in metal.
Compton scattering dominates over other processes.
positrons lose their energy almost exclusively by bremsstrahlung.
Photons convert to electrons and positrons by pair production.
results in the formation of what is called an electromagnetic shower.
it will cause such a shower.
A simulation is shown on the right.
Again, each black dot corresponds to a unit of energy loss.
we will see how ionization detectors measure the passage of charged particles.

How Tonya Mann, A Jane of All Trade, Disrupts The Holistic Health and Beauty Industry
Olivia Liveng
Tonya Mann falls into a "multi-passionate" entrepreneur category. Most of her interests are centered around holistic health and beauty, which has led her to become a lifestyle expert, makeup artist, and holistic health and beauty coach.
She grew up around a high emphasis on beauty, her grandma was a beauty counselor, and her mom taught her about false lashes as soon as she was old enough. Growing up, she knew that it was something she loved and used as a tool to help her get through difficult phases of self-image and body confidence issues. Her Psychology and English degrees led her to a writing position as a Beauty Editor and then later the first Beauty Expert for Macy's.
Being surrounded by a diet culture with negative messaging and media led her to her journey in holistic health. When she was young, all Mann heard about health was that she should be eating less and exercising more. It wasn't until her first near-death that she learned your health truly is your wealth. Her experience was the moment that changed her life and the first time she decided to take her health into her own hands. Learning about how to cope with her Osteoporosis, the research, and discovery was the catalyst that led to Mann getting her Health Coaching certification.
Because society is currently instant-gratification-focused, Mann takes matters into her own hands and disrupts the health and beauty industry. Her business disrupts the industry by offering holistic health and beauty programs that deliver instant and long-term results. Holistic health, wellness, self-care, and mindset have become some of the buzziest terms in business, and they're not instant-grat type services. Mann's company uses her signature Outside-In Approach combined with secrets I've learned from 15+ years in the industry. She helps women unleash instant confidence, build habits to up-level their lives, and develop personalized tools to make every day a win.
Mann's Take On The Beauty Industry
Mann believes that there have been positive changes in the industry within the past couple of years with more inclusion, more transparency, more clean beauty options, and more support for small businesses. She believes she is making the most significant impact by showing up and using her voice to reach and share, educate, and support the industry with change. Mann wants to continue to create courses, coaching, and programs that will help empower women to unleash their confidence and live every day as a win.
She trusts that her pieces of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs apply no matter what industry you find yourself venturing into. Mann strongly believes in asking what you want, and she felt that she needed to be more effective in her stance on what you want. Even if you don't get a yes and everything you've asked for immediately, you'll probably get something you wanted. You've planted the seed for everything else to fall into place eventually. If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
As an aspiring entrepreneur, always trust your gut. Our bodies are so unique, and every answer you need is already inside you. We get feedback or feelings all the time, both good and bad, but we're taught to think, not feel. Trust those feelings. The more awareness you build around how something makes you think and then trusting those feelings even when it's hard, the easier your life will be.
Before you look to help others, Mann stands firm on the stance of filling up your cup first.
Stop putting everyone else before yourself. Make scheduling the time you need to prioritize, whether that's blocking your calendar for workouts, Sunday meal prep, going to therapy, or writing in your journal. The options are endless.
What's Next For Tonya Mann
Within the next five to ten years, Mann believes that the health and beauty industries will continue to grow and intersect, a new focus around the importance of self-care, mental and physical health. Partly, thanks to COVID, there will be an overall paradigm shift concerning how we work and our value on how we're spending our time. She's excited because Mann trust that her business will be unlimited.
As for her business, Mann wants her signature Mind, Body, Beautycamp (MBB) Program to have changed the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of women worldwide, giving them the instant confidence and lifelong tools to up-level every part of their lives. In addition, she will also look to expand programs that she is building for makeup artists, stylists, fit-pros, healers, etc., that can work with my clients one-on-one if they need more support with a specific area.
Mann would like to engage in speaking opportunities and host holistic health and beauty retreats worldwide in ten years. Her two big dreams are to open a holistic health & beauty destination or whole health spa that offers everything from functional medicine, fitness, and food, to Rolfing, Reiki, and the most beneficial beauty rituals available. In addition, she'd love to have a passion project like a reality show focused on holistic health and beauty, bringing together industry experts to makeover lives in a meaningful, long-term way. Mann prides herself on being called T-Oprah because she can make anything possible.

Boyd Street Traffic Warnings Not New
14 Dec 2009 12:13 PMJann Stuckey
Member for Currumbin, Jann Stuckey says buck passing and finger pointing over the anticipated traffic congestion from the proposed Cobaki Lakes development will not solve any problems.
"There's no doubt that by allowing road access from NSW into Queensland at Boyd Street, Mayor Clarke's predecessors sold us a pup and New South Wales have refused to contribute a cent despite the obvious benefit to their residents," said Ms Stuckey.
"Rumour has it the council agreement will also allow the Tweed residents to access our sewage system and our precious water supply.
"All New South Wales will have to do in return to thank generous Queensland for this access is to widen Boyd St, put in a set of traffic lights and build an overpass that pours vehicles straight into Coolangatta Road.
"Residents have raised their concerns with me about increased traffic for several years and I tabled a petition calling for an interchange in state parliament in April 2008.
"It was common knowledge at that time that original plans for an interchange had been scrapped around 2002 for budgetary reasons. Considering the bypass ended up costing around $545 million a few extra million for an interchange would have saved us a lot of money and frustration in the long run.
"Given this knowledge I am surprised at our Mayor's comments as the decision to allow access through Boyd Street was made before his tenure, unless of course more recent talks have been held and the public not consulted.
"There are a number of questions that need to be asked. Just how long ago was the latest decision made and was there a requirement to re-negotiate the deal given the size of the development increased substantially?
"During the period that Tweed council was placed under an administrator we learned the Cobaki development had grown to 7 stages and 5,500 homes.
"Why wasn't there any collaboration with GCCC? Why didn't the developer have to re-negotiate their deal with Tweed and Gold Coast City Councils?
"Working on an average 2 cars per residence (5,500 homes) and a minimum of 2 movements per day will equate to 22,000 more car movements than currently occur.
"Subjecting Tugun's traffic to pre-bypass congestion is not an option. All parties need to sit down together and sort out this planning nightmare that is of their own making.

This World Cup has already proven a lot to the United States. For one, it proved that we as a country might actually like the sport.
It's not that we don't like soccer, we just haven't embraced it. If we fully embraced it, we would call it by its original name: FUTBOL.
Sadly, we already have FOOTBALL in this country. The two just sound too similar, so I don't think that will change. We just love FOOTBALL too damn much. Hell, I don't even have a category for soccer on this blog. I really should get on that…..
But this is the first World Cup that America actually cared because it may have been the best for our country. Without question, we witnessed some historic moments, we made it out of the "Group of Death" alive (and kicking, haha!) topped by some amazing late game dramatics in each of the knock-out rounds.
If we want to break it down, this World Cup had ESPN and Univision breaking U.S. ratings for matches played not only by the U.S. but also other countries. Twitter had a good time too. Here is a heat map courtesy of Bleacher Report, illustrating the Twitter activity taking place during the final game, Germany vs. Argentina.
So where does this leave American soccer?
I think America is on a healthy track towards embracing soccer. It will just take time. Maybe a little longer than American soccer fans would like, but this isn't something that needs to be rushed. Like anyone showing up late to the party, you're not going to take 5 tequila shots to make up for lost time. Well, maybe….but that's just asking for trouble…..and is completely dumb.
Just like any sport we love in this country, we want it to be able represent a unique personal trait that we can be proud of, something that will ultimately define our character. Usually those terms include strength, perseverance, bold, determination and just straight up awesomeness. Our goalie, Timmy Howard, definitely proved to be worthy of that category, setting a World Cup record with 16 saves in a single game. Despite the loss, he persevered through the rest of the world's disbelief in team U.S.A. Take that other countries who always do better than us in the World Cup!
America prides itself on heroes, especially when it comes to world events. Why do you think we have a daily medal count during the Olympics? We have to feel like we are the best. And when it comes to soccer, we aren't the best. It's that simple.
Maybe we will be the best someday but for now soccer is merely just a sport we are OK at, something we don't want to fully embrace in our culture until we know we can unequivocally WIN. I KNOW WE WILL WIN. The chant isn't as catchy but at least exudes some type of American confidence. Besides, we started off as the underdogs and haven't done so bad for ourselves thus far. Soccer could merely be just another stepping stone for our nation to prove to everybody else that we are the best.
Besides….we can't always let the Germans win.

BROCKHAMPTON'S SATURATION II: RAP IS THE NEW POP
18.10.2017 by Jane Inyang
Rap collectives have always been a gateway to collaboration, genre-bending and creativity. Brockhampton, a 17-member team, is reminiscent of a K-POP boy band with the same awkward hairdos and overzealous fan base. Brockhampton could potentially bridge Death Grips fans and Lil Yachty fans and act as a nexus between entertainment and technicality as they introduce the world to alternative hip-hop. Brockhampton has had the quickest turnover rate of albums this year and each member – a diverse assembly of producers and rappers curated by Kevin Abstract – plays a signature role in the success of the group. After gaining initial traction after SATURATION I in June 2017, Brockhampton returned with the same raw energy at the end of August with SATURATION II.
The production of the album is very intentional and features a lot of recurring 4/4 chords and vocal stems which are diversified by different rappers on each of the 16 tracks. The third track, 'Jello' uses a repeated backbeat and a consistent and catchy la-de-da-de-da to set an ice-cream parlour vibe. Ameer's ability to drop a reference to black economic empowerment on this track, without sounding preachy is essentially how this album may have put conscious rap under its belt with tracks like 'Teeth' and 'Fight', while simultaneously maintaining a 'tunes to make out to' vibe with 'Gamba' and 'Summer'.
The appeal of Brockhampton is their ability to creatively express mundane activities and emotions, which seem to appeal more to their 16 to 21-year-old fan base, than living large. For example, 'Tokyo's lingering hook asking 'what got you shook' explores anxiety-inducing activities like paying your rent on time, recollecting your past and falling in love. 'Junky' is an uncanny, doomsday track prefaced by Kevin making sure the audience gets comfortable with his consistent references to his sexuality because frankly 'not enough n****'s rappin' be gay'. Matt also champions respecting women™ through fiery lyricism in 'Junky':
Where the respect? Is your ass human?
I look you in your eyes, say 'fuck you, are you fuckin' stupid?'
Respect my mother, 'spect my sister, 'spect these women, boy
These lyrics ultimately make this track my personal favourite on the album.
Brockhampton was formed in San Marcos, a Texan city where approximately 36 per cent of the population identifies as Hispanic. The 'Scene 1' and 'Scene 2' interludes on the album are spoken word by Robert Ontenient and are entirely in Spanish. 'Scene 2' is a prayer where it seems like Robert is praying for his family – Brockhampton – and asks for God to bless and protect them. This interlude is used as a segway into 'Fight', which sounds like it belongs in a Western showdown and could explain why Merlyn and Kevin ask,
Who gonna be the reason why I turn over? (bloodsucka!)
Who gonna be the gunner that I don't trust? (bloodsucka!)
Who gonna be the gunner that get they ass whooped? (bloodsucka!)
The next five tracks are a medley of genres and highlight the group's versatility and skill, most notably 'Sunny' shining through with country chord progressions and Bearface's 'driving off into the sunset' melodies.
SATURATION II was stable enough to set a particular mood but versatile enough to ring true to Brockhampton's ability to experiment with rap and different genres. Furthermore, the brief gap between the first instalment of SATURATION and the second is more than impressive. The highly anticipated SATURATION III, the third and final instalment, is expected to be released before the end of 2017.
