Q: How to return the data of a pivot table in the same resource LARAVEL I have a small question on my LARAVEL API. How can I return and concatenate the data of a pivot table in the same resource? I have 3 tables, inventories, products and inventories_products. This last table has stock and price data (of the product, because they vary depending on the inventory) and I want to list the products and show that price and stock (which comes from the pivot table)
I upload the product controller, the inventory and product models and the product resource. By the way, as I am doing it right now price and stock returns null.
So far, in my ProductController:
public function index()
{
   return ProductResource::collection(Product::with('inventories')->paginate(25));
}

In my product model:
class Product extends Model
{
    public function inventories()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Inventory','inventory_product')->withPivot('price','stock')->withTimestamps();
    }
}

In my inventory model:
class Inventory extends Model
{
    public function products()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Product','inventory_product')->withPivot('price','stock')->withTimestamps();
    }
}

In my product Resource:
public function toArray($request)
{
    return [
        'id'=>$this->id,
        'name'=>$this->name,
        'description'=>$this->description,
        'short_description'=>$this->short_description,
        'category'=>$this->category,//category_id
        'url'=>$this->url,
        'image'=>$this->image,
        'relevant'=>$this->relevant,
        'month'=>$this->month,
        'price'=>$this->price,
        'stock'=>$this->stock
    ];
}

my migration inventory table:
Schema::create('inventories', function (Blueprint $table)
{
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->unsignedInteger('city_id');
    $table->timestamps();
    $table-> foreign('city_id')->references('id')->on('cities')->onDelete('cascade');
});

my migration product table:
Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table)
{
    $table->increments('id');
    $table ->string('name');
    //$table ->integer('stock');
    $table ->string('description');
    $table ->string('short_description');
    $table ->unsignedInteger('category');//category_id
    //$table ->integer('price');
    $table ->string('url');
    $table ->string('image');
    $table ->boolean('relevant');
    $table ->boolean('month');
    $table->timestamps();
    $table-> foreign('category')->references('id')->on('categories')->onDelete('cascade');
});

And my inventory_product migration table:
$table->increments('id');
    $table->integer('inventory_id')->unsigned();
    $table->integer('product_id')->unsigned();
    $table ->integer('price');
    $table ->integer('stock');
    $table->timestamps();
    $table-> foreign('inventory_id')->references('id')->on('inventories')->onDelete('cascade');
    $table-> foreign('product_id')->references('id')->on('products')->onDelete('cascade');

with that, I'm getting:
{
    "id": 1,
    //staff on product,
    "price": null,
    "stock": null
}

and I should be getting:
{
    "id": 1,
    //staff on product,
    "price": 123,//data on the pivot table
    "stock": 123//data on the pivot table
}

EDIT: Actually I should get something like:
{
    "id": 1,
    //staff on product,
[
    "inventory_id": 1,//data on the pivot table
    "price": 123,//data on the pivot table
    "stock": 123//data on the pivot table
]
[
    "inventory_id": 2,//data on the pivot table
    "price": 333,//data on the pivot table
    "stock": 333//data on the pivot table
]

}

In the case that the product would be on more than one inventory, right?
Thank you in advance :)

A: I think the problem is your index() function is trying to return a collection of Product Models which will only have parameters of that Model. If you want just the whole array you could do a join on that collection:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/queries#joins

A: your product might be in more than 1 inventory , you are not identifying which inventory your are getting items from , you can access it using $this->inventories
put you don't need that ,
the answer depends on your logic , if 1 product might be in more than inventory you should return the collection of the inventories or sum the stock or what ever you need to view ,
if 1 product exist in 1 inventory you should edit the function to belongsTo and your code should work

A: your relation is many to many
if you need to access pivot table for this relation can be get one product and first related inventory or other related from related rows than can access pivot
for example
in your Resource
public function toArray($request)
{
    return [
        'id'=>$this->id,
        'name'=>$this->name,
        'description'=>$this->description,
        'short_description'=>$this->short_description,
        'category'=>$this->category,//category_id
        'url'=>$this->url,
        'image'=>$this->image,
        'relevant'=>$this->relevant,
        'month'=>$this->month,
        'price'=>$this->inventories->first->price,
        'stock'=>$this->inventories->first->stock
    ];
}

Russian physicists measure the loss of dark matter since the birth of the universe
Filed under Astrophysics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia
Scientists from MIPT, the Institute for Nuclear Research (INR) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Novosibirsk State University (NSU) have discovered that the proportion of unstable particles in the composition of dark matter in the days immediately after the Big Bang was no more than 2%-5%. Their study has been published in Physical Review D.
"The discrepancy between the cosmological parameters in the modern Universe and the Universe shortly after the Big Bang can be explained by the fact that the proportion of dark matter has decreased. We have now, for the first time, been able to calculate how much dark matter could have been lost and what the corresponding size of the unstable component would be," says a co-author of the study academician Igor Tkachev, Head of the Department of Experimental Physics at INR and a lecturer at MIPT's Department of Fundamental Interactions and Cosmology.
Astronomers first suspected that there was a large proportion of "hidden mass" in the Universe back in the 1930s, when Fritz Zwicky discovered "peculiarities" in a cluster of galaxies in the constellation Coma Berenices – the galaxies moved as if they were under the effect of gravity from an unseen source. This hidden mass that does not manifest itself in any way, except for a gravitational effect, was given the name dark matter. According to data from the Planck space telescope, the proportion of dark matter in the Universe is 26.8%, the rest is "ordinary" matter (4.9%) and dark energy (68.3%).
The nature of dark matter remains unknown, however, its properties could potentially help scientists to solve the problem that arose after studying observations from the Planck telescope. This device accurately measured the fluctuations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation – the "echo" of the Big Bang. By measuring these fluctuations, the researchers were able to calculate key cosmological parameters using observations of the Universe in the recombination era – approximately 300,000 years after the Big Bang.
"However, it turned out that some of these parameters, namely the Hubble parameter, which describes the rate of expansion of the Universe, and also the parameter associated with the number of galaxies in clusters vary significantly with data that we obtain from observations of the modern Universe, by directly measuring the speed of expansion of galaxies and studying clusters. This variance was significantly more than margins of error and systematic errors known to us. Therefore we are either dealing with some kind of unknown error, or the composition of the ancient Universe is considerably different to the modern Universe," says Tkachev.
The discrepancy can be explained by the decaying dark matter (DDM) hypothesis, which states that in the early Universe there was more dark matter, but then part of it decayed.
"Let us imagine that dark matter consists of several components, as in ordinary matter (protons, electrons, neutrons, neutrinos, photons). And one component consists of unstable particles with a rather long lifespan: in the era of the formation of hydrogen (hundreds of thousands of years after the Big Bang) they are still in the Universe, but by now (billions of years later) they have disappeared, having decayed into neutrinos or hypothetical relativistic particles. In that case, the amount of dark matter in the era of hydrogen formation and today will be different," says the lead author of the research, Dmitry Gorbunov, a professor at MIPT and staff member at INR.
The authors of the study, Igor Tkachev, Dmitry Gorbunov, and Anton Chudaykin from IRN, MIPT and NSU analyzed Planck data and compared them with the DDM model and the standard ΛCDM (Lambda-Cold Dark Matter) model with stable dark matter. The comparison showed that the DDM model is more consistent with the observational data. However, the researchers found that the effect of gravitational lensing (the distortion of cosmic microwave background radiation by a gravitational field) greatly limits the proportion of decaying dark matter in the DDM model.
Using data from observations of various cosmological effects, the researchers were able to give an estimate of the relative concentration of the decaying components of dark matter in the region of 2% to 5%.
"This means that in today's Universe there is 5% less dark matter than in the recombination era. We are not currently able to say how quickly this unstable part decayed; dark matter may still be disintegrating even now, although that would be a different and considerably more complex model," says Tkachev.

Big Pharaoh says that America's 1st lady was taken to visit a *fake school* in Alexandria:
Upon Laura Bush's recent trip to Egypt, it was planned that she, along with her host Mrs. Mubarak, would visit a USAID funded school in Alexandria. One week before the scheduled visit, the tattered school was painted anew, tidied up, and the sewage system was fixed. The dirty roads around the school were cleaned up and trees were miraculously planted all around the area. A sign in English was written to welcome the 2 first ladies.
Nevertheless, the Alexandria education officials didn't like how the Om el Qura school kids looked like! The girls were poor and wore dirty school uniforms. Instead of cleaning them out and distributing clean clothes that would have definitely drew a huge smile on their faces, the officials decided to replaced the kids with new kids brought from a language school! Not only that, they gave the entire school staff a one week leave! Can you imagine how humiliated the school kids and the teachers are feeling right now..

Key strengths
Lower earnings may not usher in a bear market
06-12-2019 | Monthly outlook
Falling company profits don't necessarily mean a bear market or recession is due, says strategist Peter van der Welle.
van der Welle
Strategist Global Macro team, Robeco
Speed read
Earnings per share growth has not kept up with equity values
Markets expect reflationary forces to prop up 2020 earnings
Recessionary and non-recessionary downtrends are different
Earnings have been on a downtrend since the global economic expansion lost momentum in the second half of 2018. To date, the trailing earnings per share (EPS) growth of the S&P 500 Index has shrunk to a meager 1.6% year on year, while on the MSCI AC World Index, it has actually fallen by 0.6%. Meanwhile, global equities have risen by a whopping 17.6% in the 12 months to the end of November.
"Clearly, we have been experiencing a 'zero earnings growth' bull run lately," says Van der Welle, a strategist with Robeco's Global Macro multi-asset team. "It begs the question whether the apparent blissful ignorance of the peak in earnings in the rearview mirror matters at all for an aging bull market going forward."
"Currently, we are in the decelerating segment of the US corporate profitability cycle, as US corporate tax cuts benefits have faded, while unit labor costs have risen. Profit margins are still at decent levels, but the consistent downtrend bears striking similarities with the late-cycle behavior that has preceded previous US recessions."
Stay informed on our latest insights with monthly mail updates
A non-recessionary earnings slowdown
Van der Welle says it is important to look at the peaks and troughs in trailing earnings growth – the profits reported over a past period – and compare them with projections for forward earnings growth to get a better idea of what might happen next. US trailing EPS growth peaked in Q4 2018 against a backdrop of escalating trade tensions between the US and China, but may not yet have troughed.
"Financial markets are forward looking and typically anticipate the next phase in the business cycle," he says. "Major market movements often precede major inflection points in the cycle. Therefore, with hindsight, one may observe that the market rout which erupted in early Q4 2018 was already instigated by the anticipated peak in S&P 500 earnings and the expectation of an overall subsequent earnings growth deceleration taking shape in 2019."
"However, in waiting for reflationary forces such as more fiscal and monetary stimulus to appear further down the road, this market has defied the downtrend in earnings during 2019." This is shown in the chart below, with the weighted trailing EPS of the S&P 500 clearly falling while the index itself keeps on rising.
Defying gravity? S&P 500 company earnings have been falling while share prices have been rising.
It can't last indefinitely
"The question is how long a bull market can withstand such a downtrend in the earnings environment, and the answer is not indefinitely," says Van der Welle. "Our analysis of the last ten major peak-to-trough moves in the S&P 500 12-month forward earnings figures shows that equity market returns were negative on average (-0.6%) 12 months after a peak in forward earnings."
"However, not every earnings downtrend is created equal with respect to its equity market impact. There is a distinction to be made between a recessionary and a non-recessionary earnings downtrend."
"For example, the recessions that occurred from October 2000, November 2007 and June 2008 all coincided with deepening market sell-offs. But the other peak-to-trough forward earnings trajectories (in 1995, 1998, 2002, 2014, 2015 and 2018) all saw equity markets move higher instead." This is shown in the chart below.
Peaks in forward earnings don't always mean markets fall afterwards; in many instances, they rose instead.
Reflation likely in 2020
So, what does this mean for markets? "Our base case is that we are likely to see reflation in 2020, and are therefore currently experiencing the non-recessionary earnings slowdown variant," says Van der Welle.
"Our US yield curve-based recession indicator points to a 30% probability of a US recession in 2020, leaving us positive on equities. With a 70% implied probability of an extension of the cycle, the odds favor equity markets making new highs."
"In summary, the current environment of declining corporate profitability may not necessarily usher in a bear market. But tactical caution is needed, even if we are seeing the cycle extended, and waiting for reflation keeps paying dividends."
Earnings delivery is key
Van der Welle says the direction that earnings are about to take as markets head into 2020 is key, as late-cycle bull markets will hinge on earnings delivery.
"This is especially true for the current late-cycle market, since the space available for conventional monetary policy to prop up risky assets is rather limited from a historical perspective," he says.
"Markets can only stay irrational, or without policy support, for so long. Analysts already expect S&P 500 earnings to trough in Q1 2020 and to improve as the year progresses. This could be on the optimistic side, as reflation and the bottoming out in earnings could take longer to unfold in 2020 than consensus expects – as it did back in 2016."
Hypothesis is tested
"While we stick to our reflation base case for 2020, the early 2020 reflation hypothesis is being put to the test in our view. A couple of factors have somewhat reduced the odds of an early 2020 reflation. The further weakening of the November ISM manufacturing producer confidence index to 48.1 – a number released prior to US President Trump's warnings about a potential postponement of the trade deal – shows that spillover risks to the services sector have not vanished either."
Subsequently, the Robeco Global Macro multi-assets team has been taking some risk off the table. "We have reduced our equity exposure in recent weeks, as the upside for tactically taking equity risk has diminished in our view," Van der Welle says. "This has left us with a marginally overweight position in global equities and an underweight in global high yield bonds."

What is the best car charger that you can get?
We have tried various car chargers and while most of them do a good enough job, there are a few that are particularly useful and that we really want you to know about: these chargers are quality made, use durable materials, have a very affordable price and a few other bonus features.
So let's waste no time and start exploring the best car chargers and what makes them special.
This RAVPower car charger is made of metal and feels very durable and well-made, plus at the same time it's also tiny in size and will not stick out much and ruin the esthetics of your car interior. Sold at a price of around $10 on Amazon, it's a great deal too.
In terms of features, it has two standard USB ports and supports quick charging speeds of 2.4 amps from each of the ports, so you can use it to charge a phone and a tablet, or two phones at the same time. And yes, you might not need two USB ports all of the time, but when you do, they can be a life-saver and at that price, you really don't overpay much.
The $10 Anker PowerDrive 2 is your second best option when you are looking for the best car charger around. With two standard USB ports with each supporting speeds of 2.4 amps, it matches our favorite RAVPower in specs and features almost entirely. The difference between the two is a difference of styling and visuals, the Anker one is a bit bigger and takes up more space in the car, but if you don't mind that, it provides more than adequate power and two ports.
Ainope's $16 car charger has two USB ports and about double the price of the previously mentioned chargers, but comes with one important extra: a car voltage detector that tells you the health of your car battery. This little convenience can be a true life-saver and can give you important information when you doubt whether your battery needs to be changed (voltage readings under 12 volts mean that you need to get a new battery).
For all else, you get dual USB ports with 2.4 amps of power output on each to charge up a tablet or a phone.
The Anker PowerDrive +4 might be a bit more expensive at $30, but it offers a truly powerful charging solution that will cover the needs of all four passengers. You get four USB ports: three standard ones and a fourth USB-C port, and you get support for Qualcomm's QuickCharge 3.0 standard for even faster recharge speeds.
This charger is a bit bigger than the rest, but it pays off with functionality and is quality-made. And of course, the charger is also back-compatible with Quick Charge 2.0.

The two buddies
Species Human
First appearance Mario's Bombs Away (1983)
Latest appearance Game & Watch Gallery 4 (2002)
Buddies are ally characters that only appear in Mario's Bombs Away and its port in Game & Watch Gallery 4. They help Mario in giving him bombs and taking them to the enemy's base.
Mario's Bombs Away[edit]
The buddies first appear in Mario's Bombs Away, one in the left outpost and another one in the right side. The left one delivers bombs to Mario and the right one throws the bombs to the enemy's base. When the player gets a miss, the bomb explodes into the left outpost, causing the left buddy to set on fire. The right one rarely takes out his hands, for Mario to deliver the bomb.
Game & Watch Gallery 4[edit]
Both of the buddies reappear in Mario's Bombs Away's port. They have exactly the same behavior from its first appearance.

National Public Radio yesterday did a story on new study questioning the classic "bell curve" of the human performance. The study was published in the Journal of Personnel Psychology and it was conducted by several business school professors in Indiana. They came to the conclusion in certain fields of human performance, most people are not average, but below average, and most of the output of any organization comes from a few "superstars." The Bell Curve and the "new" curve are shown below is a figure taken from the study.
The research subjects were not in education however, but in professional sports, politics, entertainment, and research. Are there any applications to education?
In my opinion, I see this when we compete in the Central and Eastern European Schools Association tournaments. It really helps a basketball team or knowledge bowl team to have the single best performer in the event. It usually means victory, or a very high finish. It is the job of the sponsor or coach to identify that "superstar" or best performer and nurture him or her.
One professor-blogger really criticizes the study. I don't believe the results of the study apply directly to the classroom and daily student achievement, but it does make me look at the "bell curve" from a different perspective.

Huge dinosaur cache uncovered in Lleida
Cheese-shop owner and his son find massive hadrosaurid site
Jacinto Antón
Barcelona - 15 Jul 2012 - 12:26 Actualizado: 15 Jul 2012 - 12:26 UTC
Paleontologists working at the Basturs site.HERMINIA SIRVENT
A cheese-shop owner and his son have turned unlikely paleontologists after stumbling across a major cache of hadrosaurid -- or duck-billed dinosaur -- bones in Catalonia.
Pere Galceran got in touch with the Conca Dellà Museum and the Miquel Crusafont Catalan Institute of Paleontology several weeks ago after his son, Lo Pere Xic, found the remains while out tending to the family herd in the town of Basturs, Lleida province.
The pair recognized the fossils as prehistoric remains as soon as they saw them.
Remains of more than a thousand dinosaurs have been found in the area and Basturs residents are familiar with their appearance.
However, the paleontologists who confirmed the discovery believe this most recent site to be of particularly spectacular proportions.
They are very big bones, and there are a lot of them"
The scientists, who are directed by Àngel Galobart, began excavating the area on Monday as a matter of urgency as they are worried that the bones, many of which are poking out of the ground, may be plundered by unscrupulous dinosaur bone hunters.
"They are very big bones, and there are a lot of them," a Conca Dellà Museum spokesman told EL PAÍS.
The paleontological team's first assessment of the newly named Costa de les Solanes site believes it to be an immense find that will be investigated for many years to come.
Its studies have already classified the first bones as belonging to some type of hadrosaurid - large herbivores from the Upper Cretaceous period of around 70 to 65 million years ago.
Many traces of hadrosaurids have previously been found in the area, but this new discovery promises to be something exceptional.
The Costa de les Solanes site, like the others, preserves the remains of some of the last dinosaurs to live in Europe before a global catastrophe - that many scientists believe may have been the result of an enormous meteorite hitting the Earth - wiped them out.
The excavation will continue until Friday and forms part of the Catalan Pyrenees dinosaur research project.


In London on Monday (20 February), the Premier of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, Frank Moores, launched the first of a series of European news conference to defend the annual killing of baby seals off the Newfoundland coast.
GV AERIALS, PAN FROM: Seal ship in ice off Newfoundland TO hunters killing seals.
SV:Seal hunting ship moves through ice floes while hunters work on in foreground.
SV PAN: Blood stains on ice.
SV INT: Newfoundland Premier Frank Moores speaking to reporters in London.
SV INT: Mr. Brian Davies International Director of the National Fund for Animal Welfare interjects.
SV INT: Canadian scientist Dr. Joseph B. MacInnis replies.
MOORES:"I think it is important that the record be set straight. Because I think you can appreciate that Canadians do not like to be looked upon as barbarians, statistic, sadistic insensitive people because we are not. I don't think there is any question about that. When we talk about humane methods of killing, I know in our province, for instance, we are the only province in Canada that has banned the leg trap for trapping wild animals. Because we do think it is cruel and we think that there are a great many aspects of trapping and fur-bearing industry itself, or industry based upon it, that are cruel. And the killing of seals is a very gruesome sight. I don't think anyone would dispute that fact. Certainly I wouldn't. There is no question whatsoever that a pool of blood on the snow is not a pleasant spectacle. But I would also suggest, as is the case of all abbat???ir operations, or slaughterhouses, the killing of a lamb, or the killing of a calf, or the killing of a pig, is equally repulsive.
DAVIES:"When you can't defend the seal hunt you attack those you see as the enemies of the seal hunt."
MACINNIS:"You are determined to destroy this press conference and you will keep on talking as long as you keep pointing the cameras at him. And I intend to keep on talking as long as he stands on his chair. How about that Brian? We can both keep on talking and make utter fools of ourselves can't we?"
Premier Moores goes on Tuesday (21 February) to Frankfurt, West Germany for a similar news conference. And on Friday (24 February) he will be in Paris where French film star Brigitte Bardot has been campaigning against seal hunting. The annual Spring seal hunt is due to start about March 10.
Background: In London on Monday (20 February), the Premier of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, Frank Moores, launched the first of a series of European news conference to defend the annual killing of baby seals off the Newfoundland coast. The news conferences are part of an effort by the Newfoundland government to counter allegations by animal welfare groups that the seals are being killed barbarically and that they are in danger of being wiped out. In London the news conference was attended by conservationists who argued with the main speakers.
SYNOPSIS: Seals have been hunted off the coast of Newfoundland for hundreds of years. Before the Europeans it was the Indians.
Many ways have been used to kill the helpless animals, including guns and chemicals. But the usual way now is with a club-like instrument called a "hakapik".
The seal pup has a extremely thin skull and,according to the Newfoundland authorities, a blow either kills it outright or puts it into a state of deep and irreversible unconsciousness in which there is no pain, fear, or psychological distress.
But animal welfare groups say that almost half the skins that are taken from these seals are removed while the animals are still alive. They also say that if the killing continues, various species of seals in the area will become extinct. This is disputed by Newfoundland's Premier, Mr. Moores.
He says that although gruesome, the hunt is strictly controlled to ensure a valuable economic resource does not run out.

Q: Merge with priority I use Flowable.merge operator with buffer of size 1 for each from two upstream.
Flowable.merge(sources, 2, 1)
.observeOn(Schedulers.io(), false, 1)

Is possible use priority for one from streams when is called request(1) from downstream?
When both streams have item in queue (full) than should be emitted item (call of request(1)) of first source.
Sources can be two subjects.

A: You would need to create a specialized observable that implemented the priority handling.
The operator would construct two subscribers and subscribe them to the two observer chains. Each subscriber would then handle the merging of the streams. The "priority one" subscriber would receive a value, check if the down stream had requested a value and send it on. The "priority two" subscriber would receive a value and hold on to it if there was a "priority one" value waiting to be sent. Each subscriber would issue request(1) whenever it emitted a value downstream.
Fortunately, RxJava is open source, and, even more fortunately, there are several blogs that describe the proper implementation of RxJava operators. This blog by David Karnok has very well written descriptions of implementing many operators. His postings describe in excellent detail how to avoid the many pitfalls of threaded data structure access.

Things You Didn't Know About the Witness Protection Program
Harmon Leon
581.1k views 16 items
The Witness Protection Program (WITSEC) is, by definition, a secretive institution. In fact, the Department of Justice has only arranged for the press to interview one protected family since the program's creation in 1970 as part of the Organized Crime Control Act. So, as a consequence, the average person's knowledge is limited to what they've seen in mobster movies and TV shows. Fascinating witness protection program facts are actually pretty hard to come by.
While Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) of AMC's Better Call Saul may be the most entertaining on-screen character in the Witness Protection Program, Henry Hill from the movie Goodfellas is the most famous. Played by Ray Liotta and based on a real-life gangster of the same name, Hill describes life inside the program in the film's memorable closing scene: "Today, everything is different. There's no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food. Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook." Other movies about WITSEC – like the 1997 Kirstie Alley and Tim Allen romcom For Richer or Poorer and the 2009 Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant flick Did You Hear about the Morgans? – tell zany stories of couples coming together under the strange circumstances of witness protection.
But is that what it's really like to be schnook? Read on to learn how the Witness Protection Program works and what it takes for a person to assume a new identity and start a new life from scratch.

It All Started With The Italian Mafia
You can thank the Italian mob for the inception of the Witness Protection Program. The Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, signed by President Richard Nixon, was specifically aimed at the grandfather of organized crime syndicates, the Italian mafia. Its purpose was to create standardized procedural rules for dealing with witnesses, and these rules included provisions for how to deal with perjury, the protection of witnesses, resistant witnesses, and witness self incrimination.
RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations), which any fan of Sons of Anarchy will be intimately familiar with, also comes from this Act.
WITSEC Has An Amazing Track Record Of Protection
Since its inception in 1971, WITSEC has protected over 18,000 witnesses. That's a lot of witnesses! And it has a stellar track record when it comes to safety. Not a single person who has abided by the rules has been harmed or killed. David Harlow, acting director for the US Marshalls, attributes this success to the fact that "[no] one knows what [they] do to protect witnesses."
The cloak of mystery surrounding people who get spirited away from their lives into new ones allows the people who require WITSEC to stay alive, but it's a different story for witnesses who leave the program.
Leaving WITSEC Is Your Funeral... Literally
While WITSEC has a ridiculously good track record of protecting those who abide by its rules and remain under the cover of their new identities, the same can't be said for those who go off script or go back to their old ways in the new environment.
Many like Brenda Paz, dubbed "the rainman of witnesses," don't last long. Just two days after returning home, her body was found stabbed and washed up on a Virginia riverbank. Others wind up back in the clink, like star witness Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano, whose testimony helped convict John Gotti. After running a swimming pool business for a few years while in the program, he left and started an ecstacy ring. Sounds like he missed "the action." In 2012, he was slapped with a 20-year prison sentence.

Witnesses Have To Leave Everything About Their Old Lives Behind
If you're a candidate for the program, you'll get a visit from the feds, which may or may not be announced. Some witnesses get time to decide whether or not they want to join the program; others have to leave immediately upon the arrival of the US marshals. A witness whose former identity was Rae Devera told The New York Times that she could only take what she could fit in seven suitcases.
Anything that could possibly be identified and associated with her – photographs, children's artwork with their names on it, a sentimental necklace, and even her dog and cat – couldn't come along to the new location.

Q: gcc and clang are giving different results #include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

    int a;
    int *b = &a;
    a = 10;

    printf("%d %d\n", a, *b);

    int p = 20;
    int *q;
    *q = p;

    printf("%d %d\n", p, *q);

    int *t = NULL;

    return 0;
}

The above program when compiled with gcc gives segmentation fault on execution. But when compiled with clang, it executes without giving segmentation fault. Can anybody give the reason? gcc version is 9.3.0 and clang version is 10.0.0. OS is ubuntu 20.04

A: Problem:

The problem does not stem from the compiler, it's in the code itself, specifically *q = p, when you dereference the pointer, i.e. use *, you are accessing the value stored in the pointer which is the address where it points to, in this case the code is invalid because there is no memory assigned to q, it points to nowhere (at least to nowhere we'd like it to point). You can't store anything in the memory pointed by it because it doesn't exist or is some random memory location given by some garbage value that may be stored in q.
Behavior explained:

Given the above, and knowing that the value stored in q can be anything, you can and should expect different results in different compilers, different versions of the same compiler, or even the same compiler in the same machine but in different executions of the same program, at some point it may even be pointing to where you want it to, in a one in a trillion chance, and the program would then give you the expected result, therefore the behavior of your program is undefined.
Fixing it:

As already stated q needs to be pointing to some valid memory location before you can store a value in that memory location. You can do that by either allocating memory and assigning it to q or make q point to an existing valid memory address, e.g.:
int p;
int *q;
q = &p; // now q points to p, i.e. its value is the address of p

Now you can do:
*q = 10; // stores 10 in the memory address pointed by(stored in) q, the address of p
         // p is now 10

Or
int value = 20;
*q = value; // stores a copy of value in the address of the variable pointed by q, again p
            // p is now 20

Extra:

Note that if you use extra warning flags like -Wall or -Wextra among others, the compiler is likely to warn you about faulty constructs like the one you have.

*

*gcc warning flags manual

*clang warning flags manual

A: I'm not an expert in compliers, but you are for sure triggering some Undefined Behaviour right here:
int *q;
*q=p;
printf("%d %d\n",p,*q);

You are dereferencing pointer q before initializing it.
Reasons why this segfaults (or rather, doesn't segfault) can be few. The q could point to any memory location, it could for example hold old value of b after it was popped from stack in case of Clang, thus writing into non-restricted memory.
Not sure what your original intentions were with this piece of code, though.

A: The reason is that anything can happen if you use a variable which has not been initialized. If you compile this program with warnings enabled you should get a warning like
t.c:10:5: warning: 'q' is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
  *q = p;
  ~~~^~~

Before initialization, a variable can have any value which happens to be at the memory location where the variable is allocated. That's why the runtime behavior is unpredictable. The following picture illustrates the situation before the assignment of p:

Since we don't know where q point, we cannot dereferrence (follow) the pointer.

A:
Can anybody give the reason?

The reason comes from the C language itself and how compilers were constructed.
First, the C language - your code invokes undefined behavior. Firstly, because using an uninitialized variable is undefined behavior, but obviously because you are applying * operator on an "invalid" pointer. Bottom line, there is undefined behavior.
Now, because there is undefined behavior, compilers can do what they want and generate code however they want. In short - there are no requirements.
Because of that, compiler writers do not care what compilers do in undefined behavior cases. Two compilers were constructed differently and act differently in this specific case when compiling this specific code. It was not deliberate - no one cares, so some random unrelated decisions in unrelated fields resulted in such behavior of both compilers.
The specific reasons why behaviors of both compilers are different, will come from inspecting the source code of both compilers. In this case, inspecting llvm with its documentation and gcc with gcc developer options will be helpful along the way.

A: The line *q=p; uses the value of q which is uninitialized; accessing an uninitialized variable is undefined behaviour, allowing the compilers to interpret both that line of code and anything preceding or following the line in any way at all.
It'd probably give different results for different levels of optimization as well.

Morris Cohen
Morris Cohen made many significant contributions to the Baking Industry. He was employed by Interstate Bakeries for 40 years and retired in 1963. He started his career in Chicago with the Schultz and Purity groups. Later, he was promoted to the general office in Kansas City and rose to become the Director and then the Vice President of Engineering.
Morris was the holder of 8 patents pertaining to the baking industry: belt washer, switching conveyor means, method of treating dough, method and means for sheeting and elongating dough, coating and rolling apparatus, method and means for making jelly rolls, method and means for continuous dough feed, and traveling hearth oven conveyor. These inventions have had a profound effect on the baking industry.
Morris was the inventor of the Wendway conveyors, which most bakeries have heavily relied upon for the last half century. He was also the inventor of the direct expansion cooling system for dough mixers which are used by the majority of bakeries today. The baking industry would look a great deal different if it were not for the contributions of Mr. Cohen.
Mr. Cohen was active in industry affairs being very involved in the formation of the first BISSC. He was Chairman of the first subcommittee responsible for writing Flour Equipment Standard #1.
Morris played a major role in the development of the first pony tail tying system which is the forerunner to our current bread bag tying. The pony tail tying system started by leaving the end seal off one end of the wrapped loaf and tying the open end with a twist tie.
He was responsible for the development of the Tender Kurl process which mechanically twisted the dough to simulate hand twisted bread. This was a big step forward in the bread make up process. In 1946 he designed and built a high speed bread line using a continuous tunnel proofer. This was the forerunner of the modern high speed bakery production process.
Mr. Cohen's numerous contributions to the baking industry are evident in every bakery. Mr. Cohen was not only an inventor, but a real innovator who brought together new processes and equipment to improve the efficiency of the baking industry.

Call for Interest
WP1: Advances in Economic Research, Funding for Economics in Europe
This Work Package is aimed at investigating how economic research addresses the following crucial policy issues on the European political agenda:
Economics of research, education and innovation in a European and global context, including economics of smart specialisation.
Knowledge-based growth and employment; prioritisation of policies, in particular, the need for short-term consolidation and long-term growth policies like fiscal consolidation and smart, sustainable growth.
The link between monetary and fiscal policy, and between fiscal and private debts; efficient use of unconventional monetary policies; insolvency problems and the management of rescue funds.
Cross-border spillovers, interdependencies and coordination of policies across borders;
Institutional and structural reforms in the Member States and associated countries concerning issues like ageing, health systems, energy and resources efficiency, transport or environment in the context of Europe 2020 and their budgetary and macroeconomic consequences.
Supporting the role of EU strategies and policies like Europe 2020, European Semester, the European Research Area, The Innovation Union, the Internal Market, the Employment Strategy and Cohesion policy among others".
In order to do so, it will produce a series of surveys on the different policy issues, according to the structure depicted in the following chart.
The general template of surveys should cover the following items:

Q: Has the generic version of HttpResponseMessage been removed from the ASP.NET WebApi? I just finished installing VS 2012 RC and have started working with the ASP.NET Web API. I am basing my work on some tutorials from PluralSight which I've been using as reference.
In every tutorial and article which I've used, I notice that they are using a generic version of HttpResponseMessage in the return type of Action, but to my surprise this object was not available to me while coding. I thought perhaps the issue was just an incorrect namespace reference, but that does not seem to be the case.
Can anyone point me toward some source code or reference material on how to utilize the generic HttpResponseMessage object that PluralSight uses in their videos?

A: yes i was also looking through the same thing.. the generic version of the HttpResponseMessage was remove recently.. because it was not type safe

A: Searching for the answer i found this article
and it states that the generic version has been removed

You see, I come from some fine bakers in my family and can make a mean pie. I thought to myself, wow, $30 to buy a pie? I'll make mine. Luckily I changed my mind because I ran of time and wouldn't have been able to make mine anyway! So I bought pies, friends bought pies, people donated money so people who are homebound or ill could have pies.... and it was the best feeling.
That first year, and now every year since, our family talks about Project Angel Heart over Thanksgiving Dinner, what it means to share, give and be generous of heart and spirit and of course .... the obvious - we helped people get meals. Boom!
First - you buy pies NOW and note that we sold out last year!
Next - you pick up pies at a neighborhood Anthony's Pizza before Thanksgiving and voila, each pie = 3 amazing, delivered, healthy meals for people in our communities that need our help.
This next part is HUGE - it works if you will do it! Last step - share my Pie in the Sky posts on Facebook and in your workplace and ask your peeps to buy pie. You are making a difference for Coloradans fighting life-threatening illnesses!
Thanks for helping, and have a wonderful Fall!

Julian Assange: The Stainless Steel Rat by Mattokunobaka
by DevilsAdvocate / December 15th, 2010
Going through news stories this morning, I found one that had caught my eye: 'Julian Assange to Appear in Court to Appeal' , located at http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2010/12/13-13 . Having an interest in the case against Mr Assange, and especially the behavior of the United States towards him, I proceeded to read the report, when a certain passage suddenly leapt out at me…
"Meanwhile a dating site profile from 2007, supposedly created by Assange, had prompted by some lively online debate. The profile on the OKCupid site featured pictures of Assange, though gave the name Harry Harrison – who described himself as a "passionate and often pig- headed activist intellectual" who sought to change the world. He concluded: "Write to me if you are brave." (emphasis mine).
I went to the site named and saved a screenshot of the page, located at http://www.okcupid.com/profile/HarryHarrison
The picture resembles him, and states he's from Melbourne, Australia. If you place the cursor over the picture, two more fly out. The center picture most resembles his current appearance.
(NOTE: as of 1.30pm today, OKCupid has removed the page from public view, requiring registration to view the page.)
While I was looking over the page, however, it suddenly hit me…I had a major key to his personality and the way his thought processes work. Quite simple, actually.
I'll refrain from commenting on the case itself at this time, but I can clear up one little mystery: the nom de guerre or username on the OKCupid site. If the site is confirmed as his, as is likely, the pseudonym 'Harry Harrison' is entirely reasonable and to be expected, because it confirms that Assange is a fan of science fiction. And it's a key to the mind of Julian Assange.
The author Harry Harrison wrote a series of science fiction novels about a character named James Bolivar deGriz, alias 'Slippery Jim', or 'The Stainless Steel Rat'. The original novel was written in 1961; the last was published this year. I have the first five or so novels in my personal library, and they're great favorites of mine.
deGriz lived in a future which had no crime, no wrongdoing, and was ultimately dull and boring. He refused to be a part of such a boring utopia. Thus he decided to give police something to do, and entertain the people, by performing fantastic feats of theft and other nonviolent crimes, while making the police look like fools. He was wanted by law enforcement across numerous solar systems, as well as by planetary governments, some with a price on his head.
(Sound familiar so far?)
As I recall, deGriz was described as a 'rat' moving through the wainscoting of a futuristic, emotionless, boring, static interstellar society, thumbing his nose at law enforcement as he performed his crimes. . .a stainless steel rat. He had no 'home' as such, moving from planet to planet.
Eventually, he was captured by (and joined) a supersecret intelligence organization, which solved difficult problems concerning societies on different worlds. Subsequent novels followed those assignments and adventures.
One sees from this admittedly sketchy description of the novels (by memory, I admit) that Julian Assange and Wikileaks serve as the 'Stainless Steel Rat' of the present. His 'crimes', if any, have been virtually nonviolent, leading 'law enforcement' (including the CIA) on a merry chase, while he transmits secret documents from corporations and governments around the world. He has done this successfully for some years now.
It's evident that he identified intensely with the character of Slippery Jim deGriz from his first reading. Using the alias 'Harry Harrison' is therefore a tribute to the writer he idolizes. I don't believe Harrison himself is aware of this, but the connection seems very clear to me. And yet, as a globetrotter, it's possible that Julian Assange might have met Harry Harrison, even in disguise.
It's also apparent to me that he not only determined to be our 'Stainless Steel Rat', but that—knowing he couldn't do it alone—Wikileaks was built around the concept.
Assange, as a hacker, shows the independent, 'antisocial' and anarchist nature of deGriz, although his actions ultimately benefit society. Wikileaks (and Assange) have repeatedly thwarted past efforts to contain or stop them. They have repeatedly angered corporations and governments by disseminating information revealing corruption, lies or otherwise embarrassing material. Assange, although an Australian citizen, has no 'home' as such, moving from place to place. His support team are volunteers from diverse places. His equipment, funds and supplementary resources are likewise scattered. He has supporters across the world, much like some citizens of the fictional future who idolized James Bolivar deGriz.
Harrison's deGriz was a master of disguise, and loved thumbing his nose at the cops, performing feats literally under their very eyes. Yesterday, I found this story: Assange attended US embassy party in Iceland at http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/72733,people,news,julian-assange-attended-us-embassy-party-in-iceland?DCMP=NLC-daily, dated December 13, 2010. It's worth quoting at length…
By December 2009, Assange had received the US embassy cables, the Iraq war logs, a video of US helicopter pilots mowing down innocent Iraqis, and documents relating to the Afghanistan war, all of which were subsequently published on WikiLeaks.
Although he had already upset the US, Assange was the toast of Iceland at the time of the party, having published a secret report relating to the 2008 collapse of the country's banks on WikiLeaks.
It was against this background that Assange apparently thought it would be amusing to go into the lion's den. On the day of the ambassador's reception, he didn't even bother to wait for Jonsdottir before heading over to the US embassy.
Jonsdottir explains: "The irony was that I went to collect him from his guesthouse and couldn't find him, so just went back to work and didn't even go myself.
"I found out later he'd just decided to go on his own and got in by saying he was my guest. He said he'd spent a long time talking to Mr Watson."
And, at this time, he was already being sought out by the government of the United States.
It would appear that the pattern holds. Assange's boldness and behavior in this instance would mirror exactly the behavior of the deGriz of science fiction.
This analysis is only partial and, as I stated, sketchy. I do believe there are enough parallels that it offers an important insight into the mind and personality of Julian Assange.
It's doubtful that the United States government would be aware of such important connections to understanding their 'enemy'. Often political appointees, or even those of the traditional hierarchy, are ignorant of the subjects they are supposed to deal with. And events of the past ten years have confirmed that they do not understand whom they're fighting very well, even now.
Such was the case with Michael D Brown, of Hurricane Katrina infamy ("Heckuva job, Brownie"), who was appointed head of FEMA under President Bush. He had no qualifications and no experience in Emergency Management. Prior to his assignment, he had been a Commissioner for the International Arabian Horse Association.
I also remember reading a story some time later about a man assigned to head counterterrorism in the FBI. He admitted he knew nothing about Islam, and said something to the extent that it "wasn't needed" for the job.
It'd seem to me that it's difficult to fight something you don't understand. Sun Tzu realized this some thousands of years ago when he wrote "The Art Of War".
Each and every day Assange gets media mileage he is becoming obsolete. He really did nothing. It's just the way media presented it.
If this pattern has continued into the Obama Administration, then, I highly doubt they've made the connection I've described above. Imagination is not a quality associated with politics, in my opinion. Only fans of science fiction—probably the older ones—would even be aware of Harry Harrison's novels, as I am.
If I am correct, I believe these are important clues to his personality of Julian Assange and the nature of Wikileaks itself.

RV Investigator's gravity meter arrives in Hobart!
By CSIRO
We've just taken delivery of RV Investigator's very own gravity meter. How cool is that!
This amazing piece of equipment will be permanently fitted to the ship and has its own gyroscopes, which allow the instrumentation to stay still while the ship rolls and pitches through the waves. This is important because the gravity meter is able to measure very small changes in gravity and we want to remove the roller coaster effect of the ocean!
We need to measure gravity at sea, because it tells us what lies beneath the sea floor and how the Earth's tectonic plates have moved. Different kinds of rocks, for example volcanic or sedimentary, have a different gravity effect, the denser the rock the greater the gravity effect, and because of these differences, we can work out what the Earth's continental and oceanic crust is made from.
Understanding how the Earth's crust forms in the oceans is important because it helps us to discover where there are minerals and resources, and it also helps us to understand the changing dynamics of the ocean, like undersea earthquakes and tsunamis.
We've only mapped 12 per cent of the seafloor in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone and this will be the first permanently fitted gravity meter for Australia's Marine National Facility research vessel, so we have a lot of work to do!
Check out the photos!

The Church of St. Paul the Apostle is a Catholic church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. It is the mother church of the Paulist Fathers, the first order of Catholic priests founded in the United States

History and architecture
The parish was founded in 1858, and their original church was a simple brick structure built on part of the current lot, but the congregation soon outgrew it.

A new Late Victorian Gothic Revival-style church was built between 1876 and 1884 designed by Jeremiah O'Rourke and Paulist priest George Deshon, a military engineer trained at West Point, who took over the project six years into construction when O'Rourke died, and probably simplified the design. Isaac Hecker, who founded the Paulist Fathers, may have had a hand in its design as well, using the thirteenth-century Cathedral of Santa Croce, Florence as a model. The building utilized Tarrytown gray granite stones salvaged from the Croton Aqueduct along with stones from other structures in Manhattan. The granite for the stone entrance steps was salvaged from the French Second Empire-style Booth's Theatre on Sixth Avenue at 23rd Street.

The new building was dedicated on January 25, 1885, but was still not complete at that time: the  towers had yet to reach their final height, and much of the interior declarations were still to be installed.

The church is known for its ecclesiastical art, and contains interior elements designed between 1887 and 1890 by Stanford White and many large decorated side chapels. Later stained glass windows were added by John LaFarge. Other artists who worked within include Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Frederick MacMonnies, and Bertram Goodhue, who is responsible for the floor mosaics. White and Goodhue also offered advice on design elements. Lumen Martin Winter's Angel of the Resurrection adorns Hecker's sarcophagus, located in the northeast corner of the nave. Other Paulist Fathers are entombed in crypt off a chapel on the lower level of the church.

The New York Daily Tribune reviewed the architecture as "vast, plain, fortress-like in its solidity—almost repelling in the aesthetic cast without and within, yet it is the most August, unworldly interior of this continent."

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and designated a New York City Landmark in 2013.  A major renovation and restoration of the church was begun around 2000, and as of 2013 is still underway.

Parish

In 1858, the Paulist Fathers first took possession of a frame house containing a small chapel at 14 West 60th Street. The community's motherhouse is on West 59th Street, adjacent to the church. The present building dates from the 1930s.

The life of the parish has mirrored the growth, decline and rebirth of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. In 1903 the 9th Avenue elevated train ran directly in front of the church. In 1925, the Paulists launched radio station WLWL that operated from 1925 to 1937. The parish opened an elementary school in 1886 and a high school division in 1922. When financial issues forced the Archdiocese of New York to close the school, St. Paul's established pre-school centers funded by Project Head Start under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, providing students with free lunches and medical and dental care. The parish's last school closed in 1974.

The parish went through a financially difficult period in the 1960s and 1970s, with the possibility of bankruptcy in 1973, and razing the church for an apartment building was briefly considered. The church sold the western part of their lot in the mid-1980s, and was able to build a new Parish Center at 405 West 59th Street by selling its air rights to enable the building of a 40-story apartment tower, which sits close to the church's south tower.

Today, the parish, with five Masses each Sunday, has a large young professionals community and a Spanish-speaking community. "Apostolist" is the Young Adult Program at St. Paul's; the Young Adult Choir sings at the 5 p.m. Mass on Sunday. The Youth Ministry also sponsors a Food Bank Pantry. "Out at St Paul (OSP)" is the LGBTQ+ ministry of the parish. The "Mustard Seed Guild" supports orphanages in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The parish also has an active conference of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.

St. Paul's also hosts a bookstore and gift shop at the east end of the nave. St. Paul the Apostle serves as the parish for Catholic students at nearby Fordham University, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and the Juilliard School.

The large church basement has been used as a cafeteria for the parish school, a homeless shelter, soup kitchen, rehearsal space for The Rockettes, and for boxing matches. From 1996 to 2003, it was the home of the multi-annual Big Apple Comic Convention.

Möller pipe organ
 The current organ at The Church of St. Paul the Apostle is M.P. Möller Pipe Organ Company's Opus 9987, built in 1965. With 4,965 pipes, the instrument has 4 manuals (keyboards), 83 ranks, and 78 stops. Twelve of the stops are made up of pipework from the church's previous instrument, E.M. Skinner Opus 544, built in 1925. The organ speaks from two different parts of the room, giving the effect of two instruments in one. At the front of the sanctuary, with large pedal towers that surround the high altar, sits the main organ. Perched on the south wall of the sanctuary is the nave organ. Both organs are playable simultaneously from one French-style console, built by the Peragallo Pipe Organ Company in 2000, which rests on a movable platform. Renowned organist Virgil Fox recorded The Christmas Album on the Möller Organ in 1965. By 2020 the Möller instrument was in need of restoration. In February 2021 the church acquired the historic Roosevelt Organ Works Opus 525 that had previously been installed at the former All Saints Church.

YouTube InVideo Programming, that enable you to cross promote your videos and reinforce your channel branding from inside all of your channel's videos–has gone mobile.
Google notes, InVideo Programming opened last October is now being used by over a million channels, and is driving millions of hours of watch time.
"InVideo Progamming is available on the latest YouTube iOS and Android apps, and will soon be on the YouTube mobile website, to help you get viewers to tune in to your next video," writes YouTube team.
The best part ─ there's nothing you need to do! The video you program from your desktop will work across both platforms.
Call-to-Action overlays are currently only available to advertisers in AdWords for video, but Google says it's working on making them accessible to any channel later this year.
Update 06/22: Google is currenlty experimenting a new YouTube feature called Collections, a simple way to group multiple channel subscriptions, so you can quickly check on the latest videos related to a particular topic.
"To make a brand new collection or edit an existing one, visit the Subscription Manager, which you can navigate to by clicking Manage subscriptions from the left side of your YouTube page. Click the 'Create new collection button'. Name your collection and select the channels you'd like to include in your collection," explains YouTube.
Collections are placed at the top of the subscriptions list in the YouTube sidebar, and have a small arrow button that expand the collection and lets you see each subscription. If a subscription is added to collection, you'll no longer see that subscription in the sidebar without expanding collections.
Another YouTube feature in testing saves you time by suggesting videos while you're typing a query. "When there's a video that strongly associated with your search, YouTube places a link to the video above the search suggestions list and highlights it with this label: "watch now"," informs YouTube.
For example, as you can see in the picture below, for the first 4 characters of [evolution of dance] query, YouTube realizes that you want to watch this video.
Internet Explorer – press F12 and select the "Console" tab.
press Enter and close the console.
Also, Google has now added new Quick Action button to Gmail for YouTube messages. Just click the "view video" button and you can watch the video in a new tab without even reading the message.
This only works for notifications received when a YouTube channel uploads a new video. If you visit this page when you're signed in, you can check "Email me about new uploads" next to your favorite channels.
In other news, Sixty-five years ago on June 21, 1948, the Manchester Small Scale Experimental Machine–nicknamed "Baby"–became the earliest computer in the world to run a program electronically stored in its memory.
In technical terms, "the Williams-Kilburn tube was the earliest form of random access memory, or RAM. The Baby's memory consisted of one of these tubes, able to store up to 1,024 bits–equivalent to just 128 bytes," writes Google. In contrast, the average computer today has RAM in multiples of gigabytes, more than a billion times bigger.
Update: YouTube video player's feature that allowed you to stop buffering a video–when you right-clicked a video, and selected "stop download", is no longer available. As, YouTube now uses adaptive streaming and only downloads what's needed. Adaptive streaming will come to the HTML5 player, then to the mobile players and the TV players.
Also, the settings that allow you to change video quality may also discontinue because they're no longer needed, and YouTube could automatically change the video quality for you depending on your internet connection speed.
"The new player is keeping close eyes on the speed and health of your internet connection, explained YouTube's Andy Berkheimer. "It's continuously monitoring the bandwidth and the throughput it is seeing," he said, adding that it also keeps tabs on the size of your player. Are you watching a video in full screen? Then you can expect YouTube to send you more bits, as long as your connection is fast enough. […]YouTube tends to be more aggressive in sending out higher-quality video, and then scales down the video if necessary, Berkheimer explained. The site also makes use of the fact that you often watch more than one YouTube video in a row, and optimizes your bit rate across an entire session. The results of these efforts have been encouraging. YouTube has seen buffering reduced by 20 percent since it launched adaptive streaming for its desktop player," reported GigaOM.
You can subscribe to the channel or hide the message by clicking the small "x" icon.
And, to change your subscription preferences when you watch a video from that channel. There's a wheel icon next to the "subscribed" button that lets you enable email notifications and restrict the subscription to new uploads.
If you need more suggestions, check the "recommended channels" sidebar from YouTube's homepage or visit this page. Remove the channels you don't like to improve YouTube's future recommendations. Mouse over the channel's thumbnail and click "preview" to check some of the recently uploaded videos. Use the arrows to navigate between YouTube's recommended channels.


Britain faces dangerous times after the EU referendum campaign and Labour plotters trying to oust their leader, but amid it all there's the chance to beat back Tory policies, says GLYN ROBBINS, Unite LE1111 member.
AMID post-Brexit political chaos, the campaign against the Housing and Planning Act goes on.
While careerist politicians worry about themselves, the threat of 15 per cent rent rises, ending of permanent tenancies and loss of even more really affordable rented homes looms larger.
But instead of fighting a Tory law that will make the housing crisis worse, most Labour MPs are fighting the party's democratically elected leader. Nothing more graphically exposes the chasm that has opened between Establishment politics and the concerns of working-class communities — except perhaps the Brexit vote!
The Axe the Housing Act alliance brings together tenants, rank-and-file trade unionists, councillors and housing activists.
With the support of some national unions (including Unison, GMB and the National Union of Teachers) the campaign has succeeded in raising the profile of an issue with far-reaching ramifications, culminating in a 10,000-strong demonstration on March 13.
Sadly, the efforts of local groups were not matched by those of parliamentarians and on May 12 the legislation received royal ascent. Inevitably, this has led to some demoralisation but the fight against the Act has only just begun.
There are a host of uncertainties and contradictions that will now come to the fore as local councils are asked to do the government's dirty work for them. They must not.
Axe the Housing Act is calling for a national summit in October to discuss how councils, housing associations (HAs) and tenants can work together to challenge and defeat the Act.
The campaign has already forced some concessions and councils and HAs now have more discretion about how the Act is implemented. Councils can oppose developers building unaffordable "starter homes" that don't meet local needs and refuse to sell off empty homes. HAs don't have to apply pay to stay or right to buy.
One of the most consistent and vocal critics of Tory housing policy has been — and should continue to be — the current, democratically elected leader of the Labour Party.
Jeremy Corbyn has been a staunch supporter of Defend Council Housing and other housing campaigns for many years.
Since becoming Labour leader, even when he knew the knives were out for him, he found time to attend meetings and demonstrations against the Housing Act and has been unequivocal in his opposition to it.
Few Labour MPs — and no previous leaders of the party — have given anything like this level of solidarity and leadership.
By contrast, very few of the MPs claiming that Corbyn doesn't represent the views of working-class communities have done anything meaningful to oppose the Housing Act. Perhaps now we know why — they were too busy plotting!
But Corbyn's role is not purely symbolic. The Housing Act is now law and ultimately it will take an act of Parliament to repeal it. That's something a Corbyn government would probably commit to do. What chance under the plotters, bearing in mind that some of them supported very similar housing policies to the Tories under the last Labour government?
This is a dangerous and potentially decisive time not just for the future of housing, but the future of British politics and society.
In less than a year, Jeremy Corbyn has begun to build real opposition to the neoliberal agenda, both inside and outside Parliament. If the coup succeeds, the Labour Party will return to the Blairite path that leads to the pro-business sterility of the US Democratic Party.
With a supine Labour Party, the dismantling of the welfare state will continue and the social divisions and racism that have erupted since Brexit will grow.
But there's a more optimistic scenario. If Jeremy Corbyn can survive until a leadership election and win again, he will emerge stronger with a renewed mandate for genuine change. Many of those attracted to the Corbyn Labour Party are also the young people most affected by the housing crisis.
Alongside a re-energised national campaign — with more union involvement — to Axe the Act, the Labour Party can fight the next election on a platform to build thousands of council homes, restore rent controls and improve security of tenure.
Only the most crude analysis thinks the people who voted to leave the EU would not vote for a Labour Party offering a real alternative to wage stagnation, unemployment, cuts and privatisation.
Housing has become the focal point for class struggle, highlighting the inequalities of a system in which millions of lives are blighted by the greed and inefficiency of the property machine. Policies that treat housing as a social asset not a private commodity can help rebalance our economy, create jobs and reduce the waste and damage of the unfettered market.
The Labour Party plotters can be a blip in the history of the movement they only use for their own ends. The difference between them and Jeremy Corbyn is that he cares more about the people he represents than himself. Together, we have a future to win!
