Ahead of John Abraham's RAW, here's a look at a few real-life spies who risked their lives for the safety of their motherland.
The Research and Analysis Wing of India, popularly known as RAW, came into existence in the year 1968. Known as the secret intelligence team of India, it was established as an attempt to get rid of the foreign threats. Talking about the people associated with it, commonly known as a spy, are the real unsung heroes of the country. Without making noise about their existence and identity, they tend to save thousands of lives because of that one right piece of information. Having said that, being a spy is not an easy job. A RAW agent has to deal with sensitive information at the constant risk of getting caught and killed.
Bollywood, too, has celebrated the spirit and valour of all such heroes through various films. From Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger starring Salman Khan to Meghna Gulzar's Raazi starring Alia Bhatt. While some have been fictitious, many of them were based on real-life incidents. The latest one to join the bandwagon is John Abraham's RAW (Romeo Akbar Walter), a film that is set against the backdrop of the India-Pakistan War of 1971. But before it hits the big screens, here's a list of some of the real-life spies, who deserve all the honour.
Mohanlal Bhaskar, once in his speech on Bhagat Singh, said, "We have eaten the grain cultivated with your blood, it has nurtured the seeds of martyrdom in us." Sticking true to his words, Mohanlal got converted to Islam, underwent circumcision and took the name, Mohammad Aslam. Reportedly, he was then sent to Pakistan to extract information on the nuclear program. However, his mission was failed due to an alleged betrayal by an associate, who worked as a double agent for both India and Pakistan. As a result of the same, Mohanlal had to spend 14 years in jail.
He is the man to credit for making RAW where it stands today. Although there is not much information available about this gentleman, it is believed that he was in charge of Jawaharlal Nehru's security.
Known for his avid love towards acting, Ravindra Kaushik was a theatre artist. He was 21-year-old when some RAW officials spotted him at one of his performances and hired him. Ravindra was familiar with Urdu, Islamic religious texts and the terrain of Pakistan. He reportedly then changed his identity to Nabi Ahmed Shakir, joined the Pakistani Army and got married to a local girl. Between the years 1979-1983, Ravindra kept passing valuable information to the Indian army, say reports. However, his cover was blown and he was arrested in 1985. After spending 16 years in jail, Ravindra was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and took his last breath in 2001.
We all know him as the current National Security Advisor of India and a close associate of PM Narendra Modi. But did you know that Ajit Doval served as an undercover Indian spy for seven long years? As per reports, Doval posed as a Pakistani Muslim and passed some extremely valuable information to the Indian government.
Being enlisted as a spy for RAW, Kashmir Singh entered into the territory of Pakistan as Mohammad Ibrahim. Reports suggest that he was hired to spy for the country's military intelligence in Pakistan. However, Kashmir Singh was caught and spent 35 years of his life in solitary confinement but not even once did he admit being an Indian spy. All for the sake of his patriotism. In 2008, he was released on humanitarian grounds.

Q: Finding largest element in a two dimensional array /*
   finding largest  element in an  2d array
*/
hi im trying to find the largest element in a two dimensional array can anybody help.the output i get is 8 but it should be 45
class LargestSmallestOfTwoDimensionalArray
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[][] data ={ {8,1,25,3,4},{45,12,13,2,3} };  // array of data

        int large = data[0][0];

        for(int i =0 ; i < data.length ; i++)
        {
           for(int j =i + 1 ; j < data.length ; j++)
           {
              if(large < data[i][j])
              {
                large= data[i][j];//checking and storing the largest element

              }
           }
        }

      System.out.println("Largest Element :" + large);
    }
}

A: The problem lies in second loop, start at zero and check your condition:
 for (int j = 0; j < data[i].length ; j++)

Remember, you need to check for the length of the inner list, not outer.

A: The problem is that you are not checking every position in the array.
Change your code to this:
int[][] data ={ {8,1,25,3,4},{45,12,13,2,3} };  // array of data

    int large = data[0][0];

    for(int i =0 ; i < data.length ; i++)
    {
       for(int j =0 ; j < data[i].length ; j++)
       {
          if(large < data[i][j])
          {
            large= data[i][j];//checking and storing the largest element

          }
       }
    }

  System.out.println("Largest Element :" + large);

Hope it helps..

Mo Rocca meets the energetic and always amiable Sonny Young, 71, of Rutland, Vt. Sonny and Mo walk through woods behind Sonny's house and tap a tree to make homemade maple syrup for a big family breakfast. On the morning's menu: pancakes, homemade country bread and other goodies.
Philadelphia native and spitfire Clara Corrado, 94, has triplet great-grandsons in the Air Force. The triplets are each stationed far from home, so Clara enlists Mo to help her make some of her best dishes to ship off to the three young military men. Italian Wedding Soup, and lemon-flavored pizzelles --and love -- make up these delicious care packages.
Doris, 88, is from Peabody, Mass., but her food is unmistakably Portuguese. Doris doesn't censor herself and has Mo in stitches as she teaches him roast pork, Portuguese donuts and a few nifty dance steps.
Ilene and Freddie Tsuhara, 71 and 73 respectively, are throwing a bash at their Concord, N.C., pad. Mo helps the couple assemble some fabulous appetizers including a twist on the classic: shrimp cocktail. There's also grilled pineapple and short ribs. And what's a cocktail party without cocktails? Mo learns some great potent potables from mix master Freddie including the Harvey Wallbanger.
Dave Whitney, 77, has fished all his life and he introduces Mo Rocca to the pastime on a lake in Lakeland, Fla. And of course, fish is also on the menu: bass fillets coated in potato chips. Since it's southern cooking, there's certainly going to be fried foods; hush puppies and biscuits. And there's a surprise for dessert!
Vincent, 57, who hails from Palm City, Fla., teaches Mo Rocca his father Pop's secret technique for making homemade mozzarella cheese along with some other delicious Italian specialties. Also, Vincent's cousin Sal stops by to make a shrimp bruschetta pizza and later Vincent and Mo pump some very serious iron.
Pete and Louie -- 63 and 61 -- live in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of Central New York. Dinner consists of fresh-off-the-farm local fare including grilled lamb spiedies, Cornell chicken and peach crisp. Non-culinary activities include canoeing and naming favorite female vocalists.
Mo Rocca meets Sherryl, 52, a very young grandmother and her mother, Claire, whose family came from Syria before coming to the US. Mo, Sherryl and her family make a dish with stuffed eggplant skins and chicken. They also make stuffed meatballs called kibbeh with cherry sauce, and various appetizers. The big question -- will Mo give his blessing to the new man in Sherryl's life?
Kathy and George Boulukos of Freeport, Long Island, are as enthusiastic about sailing as they are about Greek cuisine. After hitting the high seas, Kathy shows Mo the ins and outs of filo dough; they make a molded spanakopita and rolled baklava, as well as a dish with shrimp and feta.

Schools in many countries and America may be next to closed, Malls, stores, beauty parlors closed, all travel in large groups stopped. I did not know "Pappa John's" was in China but all forty restaurants there closed. People are fearful about going to immediate care health facilities because treatment for the flu, might lead to a coronavirus infection. Vice President Pence is considering the use of the word "pandemic." Schools for American kids in South Korea are closed. Many universities in the U.S., Australia and Europe already have canceled study abroad programs.
"The Price is Right" just came on TV. A large group of people have congregated and the people first selected are high fiving the other audience members. I wonder if Drew Carey will allow someone to hug him if they win?
edit. I get Cpap supplies which come from China. A family member uses an oxygen generator. So much will be affected . . . very soon. My Cpap supplies come in a plastic bag but they are handled by Chinese.

Here is what you see right now:
There is plenty of other data on that site, too. For example, here is the start of a table further down the page:
The overwhelming majority of cases and deaths are in China right now.
Incidentally, I don't know how accurate Worldometer is, but here is one discussion of it that gave it a rave review a few years ago. So until I come across information that is different, I'm running with the idea that it is reputable. There are other reputable-looking sites out there on the Internet, also.
This looks a lot better to me credibility-wise than going the mainstream news route.
Note that the death rate of those infected is higher than 2%.

Bingo. The opening line, even.
Petrograd smelt of carbolic acid.
A pinkish gray banner that had been red, hung in the webbing of steel beams. Tall girders rose to a roof of glass panes gray as the steel with the dust and wind of many years; some of the girders were broken, pierced by forgotten shots, sharp edges gaping upon a sky as gray as the glass. Under the banner hung a fringe of cobwebs; under the cobwebs -- a huge railway clock with black figures on a yellow face and no hands. Under the clock, a crowd of pale faces and greasy overcoats waited for the train.
Kira Argounova entered Petrograd on the threshold of a boxcar. She stood straight, motionless, with the graceful indifference of a traveler on a luxurious ocean liner, with an old blue suit of faded cloth, with slender sunburned legs and no stockings. She had an old piece of plaid silk around her neck, and short tousled hair, and a stockingcap with a bright yellow tassle. She had a calm mouth and slightly widened eyes with the defiant, enraptured, solemnly and fearfully expectant look of a warrior who is entering a strange city and is not quite sure whether he is entering it as a conqueror or a captive.
Behind her was a car overloaded with a freight of humans and bundles. [...]

I never have been able to track down what acid she was talking about. My high school chemistry teacher assured me there was no such named acid. I'm sure there are thousands of "acids" and I'm not surprised no one has heard of all of them, but I have never been able to find a good explanation, either.
I use a lot of apple cider vinegar, at 5% acidity. Drop rusty parts into a pan of it overnight and all the orange iron rust is now a fine jet-black powder at the bottom of the pan.
The other day my daughter in high school had a little talking to because the teacher was upset that when she mentioned the coronavirus during class my daughter said she knew some kids who have the virus. The teacher suggested China, pen-pals in China? She answered no, right here in Denver. She had her going for a while, then it ended when she said that infection leads straight to alcohol poisoning, every time.

Phenol, I suppose. "Carbolic acid" is the term for that I recall hearing growing up.
See Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol
From the History section:
Phenol was discovered in 1834 by Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge, who extracted it (in impure form) from coal tar.[39] Runge called phenol "Karbolsäure" (coal-oil-acid, carbolic acid).

It almost reads like the rulers of the USSR used the constant fear of invisible threats to keep the citizenry in psychological crisis. Do people rise up against the real threat when all they can think about is the death on their hands from going outside?

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced legislation on Thursday to redirect border wall funding to combating the coronavirus.
"The bill, according to Warren's office, would result in approximately $10 billion being shifted from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
"Rather than use taxpayer dollars to pay for a monument to hate and division, my bill will help ensure that the federal government has the resources it needs to adequately respond to this emergency,' the 2020 Democratic hopeful said in a statement. "
She needs campaign funds. Apparently Health and Human Services is an agency Trump hasn't totally cleaned out yet.
I once saw a talk by Mimi Gladstein (at the AS 50th year anniversary conference held by TAS). She said that much of Rand's descriptions in her novels are like movie shots.
That opening of We the Living that you quoted sure is--with the exception of the first line, which engages the sense of smell. I just noticed that smell has its own paragraph. And since the odor seems to be pungent, it does catch one's attention. Even if one does not know what the smell of carbolic acid is, the context and use of the word "acid" implies a strong disinfectant odor.
Good writing engages the senses--that's a principle that has been taught to writers forever. Rand certainly learned it well. Sight and sound are the main senses used for movie writing, although this description after the first line relied only on sight. (Think silent films.) I might look at other descriptions in her later fiction to see if sound plays a part.
As I reread Rand's fiction, I keep seeing Mimi's observation about Rand writing descriptions like movie shots. With a few small changes, that opening could be the start of a screenplay.
2 hours ago, Michael Stuart Kelly said:
Rand was extraordinary at evoking the visual.
An example I've thought of a lot of times is "Red Pawn" (which I think was a screenplay). Especially a scene in a chamber which had religious iconography overlaid by Soviet symbols. Also, the description of the island at the beginning reminds me of the Böcklin painting "The Isle of the Dead."
And what about the start of Atlas? And the description of the first run on the John Galt Line? Wow.
I just went through a set of commercial training videos for a video and trends software I bought (the guy's name is Paul Ponna and the software is called Video Dashboard if anyone is interested).
I learned something very interesting about the coronavirus. According to Ponna, it is hitting dropshippers hard and is going to have a major impact on the businesses of many, many people.
The short version is that many factories in China are shutting down due to mail and delivery shutting down. People and stores that have been reselling products coming from China, and businesses that have been supplying Chinese factories with raw materials and parts to be assembled, are going to have to scramble hard just to stay in business.
This means whoever in America switches over to selling American made stuff (or local made stuff for other countries) is going to make a killing, especially over the next 6 months as the supply crunch hits. This also means many prices are going to rise.
Granted, Ponna probably exaggerated some of what he said, but the gist sounds right to my ears.
If you work in a field where sales is a factor and find value in this tidbit, take it and run with it. Thar's money in them thar hills.
For as crummy as it sounds to cash in on a trend like the coronavirus, this is a fact of life, not the fault of the market. On the upside, a trend of this magnitude does not come around very often.
When you think about it, no one will be actually cashing in on the coronavirus. Instead, they will cash in on the idiocy of the globalists that tried to replace the USA with China and succeeded with far too many businesses. These last are the ones that are going to suffer. Nobody is taking anything from them that is not the result of their own lack of prudence and long-term business savvy. The huge hole in supply will be filled by people who see the opportunity, not crummy people without a heart.
This is going to impact big companies like Apple, too, although I bet many of them will be able to work around the problem simply because they have the resources to set up their cheap labor projects and sweatshops, etc., in other countries rather quickly. They will take a hit, but should rebound in short order.

We're living in a digital age where a text message or email suffices as communication. While this new frontier has broken down geographic barriers and allowed friends and family members to keep in touch in an unprecedented way, I can't help but feel we're losing the art of the handwritten card. Many even suggest mailing out cards doesn't make sense anymore, what with the cost of postage and all, but there's something unreplicatable and extra thoughtful about handwritten cards.
Don't get me wrong—I LOVE all of the possibilities and abilities of technology—but a handwritten note oozes the sentiment you're trying to portray, because you can visually see the effort that was put into it.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I can easily recount how handwritten thank you notes or handwritten cards filled with encouragement or comfort have made me (and make me) feel. They probably make you feel the same way, too!
Whether you customize personal stationery, so you can send out random notes of love to your friends and family; or send out handwritten thank you notes after your bridal shower, wedding, or baby shower, I'm a firm believer that you set yourself apart by doing so.
In a world inundated with digital evites, ecards, and emails, your handwritten message stands out. It just does. And, c'mon, everyone still loves getting fun mail, but we're now relying on Amazon prime to bring the excitement to our mailboxes, because everything else we get is a promotional flyer, credit card offer, or bill.
As much as I love social media and the digital world, I don't want us to lose the art of handwritten greeting cards and handwritten thank you cards, which is why I get as excited as ever to design them.
If you have an upcoming bridal shower, wedding, baby shower—or just want a set of customized stationery to keep on hand to send out to loved ones—I'd be happy to design something unique that you have in mind.

UPDATE: Wildfire closes Highway 1 east of Cache Creek
Strong winds from the north have pushed the fire toward the former mushroom compost facility.

Smoke from the fire near Highway 1 east of Cache Creek. Tom Moe
UPDATE: 2:23 p.m.
Highway 1 is now closed 4 km west of Savona. There is no estimated time of opening.
Strong winds from the north on August 4 also caused a portion of the southeast corner of the Elephant Hill wildfire to begin burning south toward Highway 1 east of Cache Creek near the former mushroom compost facility.
Cache Creek fire chief Tom Moe, who was driving past the site at around 10 a.m., said on Facebook that the fire "Doesn't look too bad yet, and saw about 7 structural protection firetrucks and sprinkler unit on scene monitoring it."
There are conflicting reports as to whether or not Highway 1 is closed, with some reporting that people are being turned back at Walhachin and others saying they were able to get through. There is no information on the DriveBC site.
The Elephant Hill fire, which started on July 6, now covers 93,700 hectares and is only 30 per cent contained. The 2017 wildfire season is already the second-worst one on record, eclipsed only by the 1958 wildfire season.

Driverless cars to account for half of UK new car market in 25 years' time
By Natalie Middleton / 4 years ago / Latest News / No Comments
Autonomous cars will transform motoring in the UK over the next few decades, a new report finds.
Google is working on a feature for its cars that will detect police cars in the area and pull over accordingly
The research, carried out by Dr Frank Shaw of the Centre for Future Studies, predicts that approximately eight million 'connected' cars will be on UK roads by 2020 while fully autonomous cars will account for half of all car sales in 25 years, with increasing degrees of autonomy ranging from cruise control to partial self-drive automation.
The rise of driverless cars will also lead to an overhaul of the infrastructure, with motorways having a designated lane for autonomous cars.
And it's not just the infrastructure that will see radical changes. The report, commissioned by Kia, says that parking fines will be almost eliminated as driverless cars will be able to drop off their passengers before finding a suitable space, whilst insurance premiums for road traffic accidents are likely to be almost obsolete with cars able to avoid collisions through communication with each other. There is also likely to be an increase in car sharing.
And the driving test process will see radical changes – drivers will still need a licence for partially autonomous cars, but the advent of fully self-driving vehicles will provide more freedom for those who are unable to drive for reasons such as disability.
Dr Frank Shaw, described by Time Magazine as one of the 10 most influential thinkers in the world, commented: "The future of the car industry is an exciting one, as there will be a transformation from an industry built by mechanics to one that is largely driven by software developers. There is considerable speculation in 2016 about autonomous driving, the full impacts of which will not become manifest until the 2040s. I am confident however that over the next 25 years, the industry and technology companies will deliver a safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience for everyone."

Manchester City have no time to be glum – they're a team in a hurry with trophies on their mind, says striker Jane Ross.
Defeat to Chelsea on Sunday meant Nick Cushing's defending SSE Women's FA Cup champions bowed out of the competition at the semi-final stage.
But with their chance on Wednesday evening – when they host Sunderland – to go level on points with FA Women's Super League (FAWSL) leaders Chelsea, followed by Sunday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Olympique Lyonnais, the vibes are all positive at City.
Striker Jane Ross retweeted Pep Guardiola's 'winning mentality' video clip not long after City's men clinched the league for the third time in seven seasons at the weekend and it is that spirit she believes will see them over the line in 2018.
"We've got the games coming thick and fast so we don't have time to be dwelling on things – we just have to learn from the performances and focus on the next match," she said while being recognised as the FA Cup player of the sixth round (quarter-finals) for her timely late double against Sunderland.
"Credit to my teammates for those goals, the passes and the play beforehand for both goals was brilliant and just by putting myself in the right place at the right time I just managed to get the finishes.
"As a group we have a great togetherness, we all want to see each other doing well so I think that's something that can help us in the latter part of the season.
"We want to be winning every trophy we're competing in, so come the end of the season I'd like to have won both of them (FAWSL and Champions League).
"It's always nice as a forward to be on the scoresheet and to be helping the team in whatever way I can – especially with such important goals in the Champions League and FA Cup," she added in reference to her strikes in both legs of City's Champions League quarter-final against Linkoping.
City will punch well above their weight if they are to reach a first Champions League final – in their way stand European giants Lyon, winners of the past two trophies now eyeing up a record third straight.
But Ross sees a lot of City in the four-times European champions as the teams prepare to clash in Manchester – a repeat of last year's semi-final which they lost 3-2 on aggregate – followed by the return leg in France on April 29.
"Lyon are obviously a top side with a lot of top quality players but I have belief we have a top side also with a lot of quality players.
"I'm sure Nick (Cushing) will set us up with the right tactics to go into both those matches and win the games.
Despite exiting the FA Cup Ross said the motivation was there for next season to get back to Wembley and lift the trophy like they did last year.
"It's always been amazing growing up and watching the FA Cup on the TV, our experience last year getting to Wembley was an amazing feeling and it was an amazing stadium to play in.
Tickets are now on sale for the SSE Women's FA Cup Final on Saturday May 5 at Wembley Stadium connected by EE. For more information about tickets and SSE's involvement in women's football visit sponsorship.sse.com.

The pope's words followed on a meeting with an unnamed government official who informed Francis that Sweden was experiencing difficulties integrating the large numbers of migrants who are arriving into the country.
"What is the danger when a refugee or migrant is not integrated?" Francis asked. "He is ghettoized, that is, he enters a ghetto. And a culture that does not develop in relation with another culture, that is dangerous," he said.
Rising numbers of mostly Islamic immigrants in Sweden had led to the development of Muslim-controlled "no-go zones" where law enforcement fears to enter.
Sweden is often referred to as the "world's capital of asylum seekers" and some 17 percent of Swedes are foreign-born.

Deamer, Mary Elizabeth Kathleen Dulcie (1890–1972)
by Martha Rutledge
Mary Elizabeth Kathleen Dulcie Deamer (1890-1972), by unknown photographer
La Trobe Picture Collection, State Library of Victoria, H35917
Mary Elizabeth Kathleen Dulcie Deamer (1890-1972), writer and Bohemian, was born on 13 December 1890 at Christchurch, New Zealand, daughter of George Edwin Deamer, a physician from Lincolnshire, and his New Zealand-born wife Mable, née Reader. She was taught at home by her mother, who had been a governess. At 9 Dulcie appeared on the stage as a child with Robert Brough's Comedy Company. About 1902 the family moved to Featherston in the North Island. Later she was sent to friends in Wellington for elocution and ballet lessons as stage-training.
In 1907 Dulcie won first prize in a Lone Hand competition with a 'highly imaginative' Stone Age story: Norman Lindsay's illustrations shocked her family. Later Dulcie admitted: 'Even at that tender age I loved blood, murder and violence'. Next year she joined a touring theatrical company and met 32-year-old Albert Goldberg (d.1934), known as Goldie, who was working for J. C. Williamson. In the Roman Catholic Cathedral, Perth, she married him on 26 August 1908. They left at once for a tour of the Far East with Hugh Ward's company. She played small parts and sought copy for Lone Hand. In Sydney in December 1910 she reported the Billy Papke-Dave Smith fight for its promoter Hugh Donald McIntosh.
In the crowded years 1908-1924 Dulcie bore six children (two sons died in infancy), travelled overseas in 1912, 1913-14, 1916-19 and 1921 and published a collection of short stories and four novels—The Suttee of Safa (New York, 1913) 'a hot and strong love story about Akbar the Great'; Revelation (London, 1921) and The Street of the Gazelle (London, 1922), set in Jerusalem at the time of Christ; and The Devil's Saint (London, 1924). Three were syndicated in Randolph Hearst's newspapers in the United States of America. Her themes, including witchcraft, gave 'free play to the lavish style of her writing, displaying opulence and sensuality or squalor of traditional scenes'.
Her parents had moved to Sydney and Dulcie left her children with her mother to bring up. After she and her husband had separated in 1922 she lived at Kings Cross. As a freelance journalist she contributed stories, articles and verse to the Australian Woman's Mirror, other journals and newspapers, such as the Bulletin and the Sydney Morning Herald, often using pseudonyms. She was a founder in 1929 and committee-member of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. From 1930 she received a £52 pension from the Commonwealth Literary Fund.
Dulcie Deamer mixed with the 'starving artists, poor musicians, writers scratching for a living, bit actors, and people with all sorts of strange jobs', who met at Sam Rosa's restaurant and 'Theo's Club' where they crowned her 'Queen of Bohemia' on 13 July 1925. She often appeared in her famous leopard skin which she had first worn at the Artists' Ball on 27 September 1923. With a dash of Spanish blood, she was small and slight with 'jewel-bright' dark eyes and long flowing black hair. Zora Cross described her in 1928 as 'Speedy as a swallow in movement, quick as sunlight in speech … [and] restless as the sea'. Full of joie de vivre, she enlivened many a party by doing the splits and dancing the hula-hula.
In the 1930s Dulcie Deamer wrote plays; several were produced at the Tom Thumb Theatre, and That by which Men Live (1936) and Victory (1938) at Beryl Bryant's Playhouse. The Sydney Morning Herald theatre critic found her a 'playwright of powerful imagination'. She also published another novel, Holiday, dealing with the persecution of early Christians, in 1940, and two volumes of mystical poetry, Messalina (1932) and The Silver Branch (1948).
For Dulcie Deamer and her friends, 'the Cross' was never the same after the influx of American servicemen in World War II and the burgeoning of shops, cafés and neon lights. In the 1960s she wrote her autobiography, 'The golden decade', but it was never published. On 16 August 1972 she died in the Little Sisters of the Poor home, Randwick, and was buried with Catholic rites in Botany cemetery. She was survived by a son and daughter; her son Christopher was drowned when H.M.A.S. Parramatta was torpedoed off Tobruk in November 1941. Her portrait was painted in London about 1921 by Helen Donald-Smith.

New Years Eve's Freak Snow in the Deep South, 1963
By FRRandP December 31, 2020
On New Years Eve of 1963, University of Alabama Head Football Coach "Bear" Bryant prophetically said that the only thing that could have messed up his team's chances in the Sugar Bowl against Ole Miss in New Orleans, LA was a freak snowstorm. Well, that's just what they got, as 4.5" of the white stuff fell the day before the game. Groundskeepers clearing the snow before the Sugar Bowl at Tulane Stadium. Image: The Times-Picayune, NOLA.com According to NOLA , "a record-breaking snowstorm socked much of the South that day, with flakes starting to fall locally at 2:45 a.m., according to a story in The States-Item. By the time the city began waking up around 6, cars and trees were already coated in white. By noon, an inch had fallen. When the snow finally stopped a good 18 hours after it started, it measured 4.5 inches, the most the city had seen since before the turn of the century." Nonetheless, 'Bama won the game the following day, by a score of 12-7 . The

2020 - And What's Next
In spite of our differences, I'm pretty sure we're all sick of 2020, and would all like to move on from it. I'm not going to get into the obvious reasons why this year has sucked, since no one needs to be reminded, so as we recap this year, we're going to steer clear of all that and hopefully provide some context as to what we plan to do in the coming year. This is what we shared for January 1st of this year, if only we knew... In early January of 2020, we decided to build an app for our abandoned and out of service railroad lines map. As of this writing, it still isn't out, although it is completed (finally). It will be released soon, as soon as it is approved by both Apple and Google. We had hoped to release it in March . And then July, and every month after that. It finally became clear to us that our developer had no idea how to complete the app, and we had to start from scratch once again in September. Funny how when you have the right people doing the right
The Baltimore Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway
The Baltimore Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway was a combined railway and steamship operator in the Delmarva region, operating a route from Balitmore, MD to Ocean City, MD, using ferries from Baltimore to Claiborne, MD, and using a railway from Claiborne to Ocean City, MD. ( Right of way ) Commercial, Anon. - Standard & Poor 1906, digitized by Library of Congress The line was the successor to the Baltimore & Eastern Shore Railroad , who in 1889 began constructing the route between Claiborne (on the Chesapeake Bay) and Salisbury, MD, 30 miles south. In 1890, they purchased the Wicomico & Pocomoke Railroad to reach Ocean City.

During the 1920's, the railroad grew unprofitable, and faced with insurmountable debts, attempted to reorganize to no avail. In 1928, the name was reverted to the Baltimore

Toboggan at Bendix Woods County Park
Bendix Woods County Park is owned by the St. Joseph County, IN Parks Department, located just south of New Carlisle, IN. Despite being a relatively small plot of forest, the Park actually holds a couple interesting bits of history, including an abandoned roller coaster. Image: World Wide Coasters First, let's discuss the more obvious landmark here. Owing to the industrial nature of Northern Indiana, one can see trees aligned to form the word "Studebaker", the car company that ceased operations in 1967 that was founded in nearby South Bend. The trees themselves were planted in 1938 . Image: South Bend Tribune Much less obvious, however, is the existence of the ruins of a roller coaster on the park grounds, which was known as the Toboggan, and build around 1970. It appears to have never operated, and may have been more of an alpine coaster (one that traverses down a hill or a mountain), as opposed to a traditional chain lift ride.

The Indonesian Boxing Day Tsunami
In 2004, the Boxing Day Tsunami caused by the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake took some 230000 lives in a matter of hours, becoming the deadliest recorded tsunami in history. Destruction from the tsunami extended hundreds of meters inland and stretched for thousands of kilometers. Credit: Photographer's Mate 1st Class Jon Gesch, USN. ( Earth Magazine ) "At 7:59 AM, a 9.1-magnitude earthquake—one of the largest ever recorded—ripped through an undersea fault in the Indian Ocean, propelling a massive column of water toward unsuspecting shores. The Boxing Day tsunami would be the deadliest in recorded history, taking a staggering 230,000 lives in a matter of hours."

The Port Dover & Lake Huron Railway
The Port Dover & Lake Huron Railway was a line built to connect Port Dover, ON, Canada with Woodstock, ON, about 40 miles north. The company was formed in 1872, with completion of the road to Woodstock completed in 1875. ( Right of Way ) Image of Port Dover Station, possibly from an early 20th century postcard. The plan followed a much earlier company plagued with scandal that would never complete a similar railway, the Woodstock & Lake Erie Railway and Harbour Company , incorporated in 1848. The PD&LH would lay track and use much of the same right of way, reducing construction costs. In 1876, the railway would extend northerly to Stratford, ON, where it met the Stratford & Lake Huron Railway, from which it extended points north and westerly, nearly to Lake Huron.

George Washington Crosses the icy Delaware River
On the night of Christmas Day, 1776, George Washington began crossing the Delaware River to attack Trenton, New Jersey , creating the iconic scene immortalized in an 1851 painting . Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, MMA-NYC, 1851 Early in the morning on Christmas, General Washington advised his troops to have food and supplies for three days of travel, and was concerned the British were planning to cross the Delaware River once it had completely frozen over. The weather was getting worse as well, turning from drizzle to rain to sleet and snow, based on a soldier's account of the day. The greatest hazard Washington faced was ice chunks in the river, making it extremely difficult to navigate across, meaning all of the Army did not move across the water until 3am on the 26th. Over the next two days, Washington and his men would make the trip two more times. The crossing would result in the Battle of Trenton , which was a small but significant battle in the Revolu

Construction was obviously postponed as a result of the Civil War , but would reach completion ten years later, building an 81 mile route across the eastern part of the state. Like many early railroads, it initially suffered financially, and was purchased in 1879 by the Central Rail Road and Banking Company, a predecessor to the Central of Georgia Railroad, who would reorganize the road under its original name. In 1895, the Central of Georgia Railroad formally incorporated the route into their system, adding another railroad connection between Georgia and Alabama. The route would pass on to CofG's successor, the Southern Railway , and its ultimate Class I successor, Norfolk S
The Story of the Illinois Midland Railway
The Illinois Midland Railway was one of the shortest independent railways in not just Illinois, but in the entire United States. It was officially listed as having 1.962 miles of mainline track, running from a junction with the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad at Millington, IL south to Newark, IL. Despite its shortcomings, it had a relatively long life as a short line railroad, perhaps operating on the sheer will of its owner alone, until arsonists sealed its fate in 1967. We briefly discussed the Illinois Midland in our blog on 4 Railway Lines Ended by Disaster , but when one considers the railroad's place in the US rail network, the fact that it lasted until the late 1960's is pretty miraculous. Had arsonists not destroyed one of its bridges, who is to say how long this line would have lasted? It may have even been preserved as a heritage railway.

Pinhook, MO (1927-2011): A Black Ghost Town
Pinhook, MO was a small town about 8 miles west of the Mississippi River, founded in 1927 by a group of black sharecroppers. The low lying land was among the only places that would sell to them, but this location would also put them in harms way during flood season. Five years later, the Army Corps of Engineers built the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway to ease the annual flooding along the Mississippi River. The floodway, when used, put the excess waters directly in the path of the town. ( ProPublica ). At its peak, the tiny village housed about 250 people in the 1960's, but a series of floods in the 1970's would put the village in significant decline, and the population had fallen to less than 50 by 2010. The towns fate would be completely sealed in 2011, when historic flooding along the Mississippi River threatened Cairo, IL downstream. After the river reached 61.7 feet and sand boils began to develop along the Cairo levees, the decision was made to open the floodways for t

Fullersburg, IL and Graue Mill
It is sometimes overwhelming to me just how much history is hidden in plain sight, and well within commuting distance of where I live. Some of it is obvious, and some is difficult to completely comprehend. Thankfully, many take it upon themselves to preserve their history and share it with others, making my job of sharing it with you that much easier. With that in mind, I'll be talking today about a place many suburban Chicago schoolchildren visit at least once on field trips: Graue Mill, and Fullersburg, IL, which was a nearby settlement that eventually became part of present day Hinsdale and Oak Brook . In the case of Fullersburg, the Fullersburg Historic Foundation has kept the history and story of the Village alive, even as housing and development has overshadowed many of its buildings. Graue Mill: Graue Mill is easily the most preserved and public site that was once part of old Fullersburg. Frederick Graue, a German immigrant, purchased the site, which was a sawmill tha

Collecting and Curating Railroad Slides
A little over a year ago, I started collecting 35mm slides of railroad scenes, in addition to my own railroad photographs, and scanning them into an online personal album. My main interest in starting to collect slides was preservation, not dissimilar to how and why I feel the need to map the abandoned railroad network of the world. Conrail CR 5338 Action Scene. Forgotten Railways, Roads & Places Photo Collection. 20,000 photos later, and I feel like I have a much greater understanding of what exactly it means to preserve, collect, and curate a photo collection. For one, even with all of the incredibly large amount of data one can store in cloud based databases, not without a significant team behind me was I going to be able to create a geolocated database of railroad images. RRPictureArchives and RailPictures are about as good as it gets as far as that end is concerned. Amtrak 281 crossing over the Chicago River near 18th Street. Forgotten Railways, Roads & Places Photo
The Swastika Trail
It seems hard to imagine today, but less than 100 years ago, neither the US Highway System nor Illinois Numbered Highways existed. New England had begun a rudimentary numbering system for highways, and Iowa began theirs in 1919, but the numbered highways we know and understand today were at best in their infancy. As were roads. What predated the roads we have today are the Auto Trails , which had varying levels of paving and services along their routes. Further, these were maintained by organizations, not governments, at least not in their entirety. 1917 Illinois Highway Map. Illinois Digital Archives The Auto Trails were named, not numbered, and while many had names that no one would question today ( The Lincoln Highway , Grant Highway, and the Quincy Trail as some examples), viewing maps today of Illinois or Iowa from the early 1920's would have one notable exception: The Swastika Trail.

Quadruple-Tracking, Electrifying and Elevating the BNSF Racetrack: It Almost Occurred 100 Years Ago
Had the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad , a predecessor of today's BNSF Railway , fully acted upon their plans from 1913 to the early part of the 20th century, Chicago's Western Suburbs that developed along what it is now known as the " Racetrack " may have looked much different, at least adjacent to the tracks.

Q: Maximum distribution for forming triangles Okay, so I have the following problem. We take turns breaking a piece of spaghetti stick. They always break the stick in two pieces and always break the largest remaining piece. There is a stick of length one which we break $n-1$ times to create $n$ pieces. What is the maximal way to break this stick so that the maximum number of triangles can be formed?
I have a conjecture that the best way to break the stick for forming triangles is to have each break being as close to half as possible. For example for $n=4$ some breaks could be:
$0.5-0.5$ for break one
$0.25-0.25$ for break two
$0.125-0.125$ for break three
Which would yield four pieces, $0.125, 0.125, 0.25,$ and $0.5$. You can create a triangle with any of these four pieces, they can be combined in any way. We are then trying to find the distribution where the highest number of triangles can be formed.
Does anyone see a strategy which would work or perhaps the answer for the case of $n=4$?

A: One solution is to break them is into $n$ equal pieces (ie. you break off $\frac{1}{n+1−k}$ of the longest remaining piece on the $k$th break). Then any set of $3$ pieces form a triangle. This isn't the only solution, but is the easiest to think of.

On the other hand, if the question were changed slightly so that you had to break the shortest remaining piece each time instead, then your solution is correct. This can be shown inductively by considering what happens on each break.
Each time you break a piece into non-equal proportions, if this isn't the last break, then you will not be able to form a triangle using the larger piece and two pieces which are later created from the shorter piece (triangle inequality). If this isn't the first break, you won't be able to form a triangle using one of your pieces from earlier (no matter your method of breaking beforehand), the larger piece and a later created shorter piece.
Therefore, you need to break the piece into half each time for the maximum number of triangles under these restrictions.

Amin al-Hafiz (en árabe أمين الحافظ) (nacido el 12 de noviembre de 1911 - 2009) fue un político sirio, militar y miembro del Partido Árabe Socialista Baaz.

Hafiz llevó un golpe contra el gobierno sirio en 1963, poco después de la disolución de la República Árabe Unida. Se convirtió en el jefe del Comando Nacional Revolucionario. Este consejo estaba dominado por el Partido Árabe Socialista Baaz, del que fue su presidente. A la cabeza de Siria, dirigió importantes reformas sociales, acercándose al bloque soviético.

El 23 de febrero de 1966 fue derrocado por el ala prosoviética del Partido Árabe Socialista Baaz, facción dirigida por Salah Jedid. La facción fue dirigida por Jedid regionalistas (qutri) su meta era la creación de una gran Siria, mientras que la facción de Hafiz fue panarabista y nacionalista (qawmi). El golpe de Estado dirigido por Jedid fue apoyado activamente por religiosos, y particularmente por drusos y alauitas.

Después del golpe, Hafiz vivió en el exilio hasta 2005.

Our Story/ Zenaida Gonzalez
For Zenaida Gonzalez, helping others has always been a natural part of her life.
As a teenager she volunteered for Philabundance, an organization that strives to end hunger in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, region. She also donated her time during marathons and other events.
In addition to her desire to help others, Gonzalez noticed that while others feared hospitals and doctors, she felt just the opposite. With frequent hospital visits for loved ones, in addition to her own routine check-ups, Gonzalez developed a level of comfort in medical settings.
"Growing up, I've always been really interested in health care, even though you usually go to the hospital for bad reasons, I kind of enjoyed it. I didn't mind going to a doctor's appointment. I've gotten really comfortable around health care people and settings," she said.
That level of comfort served her well while her grandmother battled cancer. Gonzalez offered a calming, positive vibe in a setting where others were upset.
"I always went over with a smile, even though she was in a hospice state and bed ridden and I had never experienced that type of situation before," Gonzalez said. "I handled that better than I thought I would. I was comfortable with it and I was able to be there for her."
Her passion to help others and a growing interest in health care led Gonzalez to Penn State.
More than 4,500 Penn State students are enrolled in the College of Health and Human Development (HHD) studying a wide-array of fields, each committed to the concept of improving the quality of life for others. Gonzalez, who found a home in the Department of Health Policy and Administration (HPA), is one of those HHD students.
"A degree in health policy and administration makes everything possible," she said. "I can do a lot, from administration to billing, or a little bit of everything. I consider myself adventurous, so to have that assortment with one degree is really important."
In addition to classroom work, Gonzalez has gained experience through internships, including with University Health Services at Penn State where she served as an assistant to Shelley Haffner, the infection control nurse manager who studies mosquito bite viruses.
Gonzalez volunteers for the Pregnancy Resource Clinic and is a member of the affiliated student club. At the clinic she schedules appointments and helps with fundraising and event planning. She also completed the Women's Leadership Initiative.
Following graduation, Gonzalez hopes to work with an underserved population in a health care setting.
"Working with the less fortunate is an eye opening experience. Seeing people's situations and different backgrounds, I want to be more compassionate towards other people," she said.
In addition to HPA, there are a variety of areas for students to study within HHD through the Departments of Biobehavioral Health, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Human Development and Family Studies, Kinesiology, Nutritional Sciences, Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management, and the School of Hospitality Management.

I love that she has taken the initiative to not just tell her daughter that she is beautiful and that she should be proud, but she lives it out her self. It is hard to grow up being strong and confident when you are raised in insecurity. Mothers are beautifully selfless and all want their daughters to understand how amazing and beautiful they are. But who of us can say that our mothers, sisters, aunts, or grandmothers, proclaimed confidence and beauty? We may see them as the most beautiful creatures we ever laid eyes on both physically and for all they do and accomplish, but did they ever realize it themselves? For more than a fleeting moment, were they able to call themselves beautiful?
I think if we want a society that raises up women and celebrates their beauty, and we want to raise daughters that are confident and strong and sure of themselves, we must first realize that in ourselves. Putting yourself down, even jokingly in front of you spouse, friends, and especially children, is beneficial for no one. You tare down yourself and in the process create an attitude that seemingly approves of self hate. However unintentional, your friends, and especially your daughters, will see how you feel towards yourself. Take time each day to realize your own worth- and spread it around to all the women in your life. Be proud of all that you are!
I appreciate your thoughts. I think it probably hard for most of us to find that balance of being thankful, secure, confident with ourselves and not becoming too self-focused. I think there is much more we can do to help each other to find that balance, thanks for the reminder.

From the Rector
This morning we were delighted to announce Ms Barbara Watkins as our Principal for 2023.
The College Board have been working diligently on the recruitment of our next Principal in conjunction with Jesuit Education Australia (JEA) since we announced Peter Coffey's retirement earlier this year.
Throughout our extensive search, we interviewed many worthy candidates. We have been determined to choose the best possible person for the role. This has required discernment and patience. An outstanding opportunity presented itself with Barbara's availability, and we are pleased to appoint her for the 2023 school year, while our process continues.
Barbara is an exceptional educational leader, and we are very fortunate that her recent work with JEA places her in a position where she is able to undertake this vital role for us. Her extraordinary range of experiences, depth of knowledge, and breadth of vision will guide us well in 2023 while we recruit for a new Principal to commence in 2024.
Barbara will be the first female Principal at the College. This is a significant and positive step for our community, as we commenced coeducation in senior classes in the early 1970s and have been fully coeducational from R−12 since the mid-1990s.
Barbara's extensive leadership experience and her qualities as an outstanding educationalist and consultant will help to elevate teaching and learning, wellbeing, co-curricular, and faith and service programs across our three campuses.
Barbara will commence early in Term 4 to ensure an excellent transition from Peter Coffey as retiring Principal. Some key areas of focus for Barbara will be:
educational mission − preparing young people for the modern world through a focus on innovation in striving for excellence
leadership − development of leadership capability at all levels in the school to help staff in their continued growth as outstanding formators and practitioners
community − ensuring the College is well connected with its community and our service of the wider community.
She will assist with the development of the new strategic plan in consultation with College families, students, staff, and Jesuit Education Australia. She will be involved in our next master plan for the College community to ensure the vision, mission, infrastructure, and systems are in place to support continued educational excellence.
We look forward to welcoming Barbara to our community at Saint Ignatius' College in Term 4. We will greatly miss Peter Coffey, who has served the College so well for 28 years, especially as Principal during the past five years. We will provide more information about his farewell in Term 4.

It's very easy to say everything is outrageous. But if you have an oil company that's setting up its own environmental department, for example, what do you do? Do you spit in its eye, or do you make sure that what they do actually has some substance?

People say we have all got to join Europe for reasons which even the economists themselves aren't clear on-at the same time we're saying, well yes of course Scotland has got to be independent. And why don't we make Wales independent too? And the north of England.
Neither have I said we have got to do this because of some pharmaceutical advantage there may or may not be. The moral issue is that we should not impoverish this world.


Rahman, Md Mahmudur (2008) Semantical representation and retrieval of natural photographs and medical images using concept and context-based feature spaces. PhD thesis, Concordia University.
The growth of image content production and distribution over the world has exploded in recent years. This creates a compelling need for developing innovative tools for managing and retrieving images for many applications, such as digital libraries, web image search engines, medical decision support systems, and so on. Until now, content-based image retrieval (CBIR) addresses the problem of finding images by automatically extracting low-level visual features, such as odor, texture, shape, etc. with limited success. The main limitation is due to the large semantic gap that currently exists between the high-level semantic concepts that users naturally associate with images and the low-level visual features that the system is relying upon. Research for the retrieval of images by semantic contents is still in its infancy. A successful solution to bridge or at least narrow the semantic gap requires the investigation of techniques from multiple fields. In addition, specialized retrieval solutions need to emerge, each of which should focus on certain types of image domains, users search requirements and applications objectivity. This work is motivated by a multi-disciplinary research effort and focuses on semantic-based image search from a domain perspective with an emphasis on natural photography and biomedical image databases. More precisely, we propose novel image representation and retrieval methods by transforming low-level feature spaces into concept-based feature spaces using statistical learning techniques. To this end, we perform supervised classification for modeling of semantic concepts and unsupervised clustering for constructing codebook of visual concepts to represent images in higher levels of abstraction for effective retrieval. Generalizing upon vector space model of Information Retrieval, we also investigate automatic query expansion techniques from a new perspective to reduce concept mismatch problem by analyzing their correlations information at both local and global levels in a collection. In addition, to perform retrieval in a complete semantic level, we propose an adaptive fusion-based retrieval technique in content and context-based feature spaces based on relevance feedback information from users. We developed a prototype image retrieval system as a part of the CINDI (Concordia INdexing and DIscovery system) digital library project, to perform exhaustive experimental evaluations and show the effectiveness of our retrieval approaches in both narrow and broad domains of application.

The poster car in Kia's ever-expanding portfolio, the Sportage is a family-friendly crossover that combines spaciousness and style. Having undergone a huge design shift since first being produced in South Korea in 1993, the Kia Sportage is now one of the most popular compact SUVs around.
Which KIA Sportage should I choose?
Arranging a Kia Sportage lease with UK Carline is both simple and easy. Proudly stocking the ISG, KX and GT-Line models in our collection, there are a range of superb benefits when leasing from us. All our models are available to lease on a short or long-term basis with a full UK manufacturer's warranty and road tax included for the duration of your contract. Just choose your model and you could be driving one away in no time.
Usually, when buying an SUV, you expect to have to make a compromise on fuel consumption for the extra space and size of the vehicle. However, the Sportage claims to be able to achieve up to 61.4mpg - a headline figure for an SUV.
Of course that depends on the engine you choose; while the 1.7-diesel model achieves the higher end, the manual transmission petrol models achieve much less. With performance not discernibly different on these engine variants, and each model coming with a 62-litre fuel tank, it may be fuel consumption that drives your choice here, but it's worth considering how your model choice affects the trim, too.
The inside of an SUV is all about comfort - especially if you have a large family to pack in. The ISG 1/2, KX 1/2/3 and the GT-Line are the models within the Sportage range, and each carries a different level of interior features and specs to make life in the cabin more comfortable. However, as standard, you'll get split-folding rear seats, 12v power sockets in the front and rear consoles, armrest cup holders and a huge amount of front and rear storage.
On the outside, a choice of radiator grilles, door mirrors and alloy wheel types gives you the chance to stamp your own look on your Kia Sportage lease.
