AFP, SOCHI: Brazil were given a boost in the build-up to their World Cup quarter-final against Belgium as Marcelo and Douglas Costa both took part in training on Tuesday.
"Good news! Douglas Costa was released to return to training with the rest of the squad and took part in today's activity," said the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) on their Twitter account, @CBF_Futebol.
The Juventus winger has only featured once in Brazil's campaign in Russia so far, coming off the bench in the 2-0 victory against Costa Rica in their second group outing.
He suffered a thigh injury in that game and missed the wins over Serbia in their last group match, and Mexico in the last 16 on Monday.
Brazil won both games 2-0 and now face Belgium in the last eight in Kazan on Friday.
Marcelo missed the Mexico game with a back problem, with Filipe Luis filling in at left-back in his absence.
Tite's squad are due to train at their base in Sochi on Russia's Black Sea coast for the last time on Wednesday, before heading to Kazan ahead of the Belgium clash.
Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro will miss that game due to suspension, with Fernandinho of Manchester City expected to replace him in the starting line-up.

Q: I'm trying to implement trees DS in python and cannot make sense of what i'm doing wrong? This is the code i've used.
Node Class
class Node:
    def __init__(self,val):
        self.data = val
        self.leftChild = None
        self.rightChild = None

class Tree:
def __init__(self,val):
    self.root = Node(val)
    self.head = self.root

#Insert Function
    def insert(self,val):
        head = self.root
        if head:
            if val > head.data:
                if not head.rightChild:
                    head.rightChild = Tree(val)
                    print("{} inserted in Right Tree".format(val))
                else:
                    head.rightChild.insert(val)
            elif val < head.data:
                if not head.leftChild:
                    head.leftChild = Tree(val)
                    print("{} inserted in Left Tree".format(val))
                else:
                    head.leftChild.insert(val)

Traversal Functions
def inorder(self):
    head = self.head
    if head:
        head.leftChild.inorder() #line 33
        print(head.data) #line 34
        head.rightChild.inorder() #line 35

There is something clearly wrong here coz when I execute main function:
if __name__ == "__main__":
    n = int(input("Enter the value for the root node : "))
    a = list(map(int,input("Enter the values to be inserted in the tree : ").split()))
    root = Tree(5)
    for i in a:
        root.insert(i)
    #print(root.data) #line 56
    #print(root.leftChild.data) #line 57
    #print(root.rightChild.data) #line 58
    #root.inorder() #line59

These are the errors i'm getting :

*

*On running print(root.data), print(root.leftChild) and root.(rightChild)

Enter the value for the root node : 5
Enter the values to be inserted in the tree : 1 6
1 inserted in Left Tree
6 inserted in Right Tree
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "trees.py", line 56, in <module>
    print(root.data)
AttributeError: 'Tree' object has no attribute 'data'

*On running root.inorder()

Enter the value for the root node : 5
Enter the values to be inserted in the tree : 1 6
1 inserted in Left Tree
6 inserted in Right Tree
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "trees.py", line 59, in <module>
    root.inorder()
  File "trees.py", line 33, in inorder
    head.leftChild.inorder()
  File "trees.py", line 33, in inorder
    head.leftChild.inorder()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'inorder'

Can someone please elaborate what am I doing wrong and what I should be doing instead. Also why am I wrong ( if possible ).

A: Your Tree classes init should  should look something like this:
class Tree:

    def __init__(self,val):
        self.data = val # value here
        self.leftChild =  # insert left chile here
        self.rightChild = # insert right child here

        self.root = Node(val)
        self.head = self.root

you were trying to get data from class Tree when you hadn't mentioned the value data in inside the class
Same goes with leftchild and right child

A: Your inorder function checks if head is NONE but what if head's left or right child is NONE and then you are calling .inorder() to NONE which is throwing an error.
And for data you should use root.head.data instead of root.data as tree object don't have any data variable.

A: As to the errors:

print(root.data)
AttributeError: 'Tree' object has no attribute 'data'

This shows a mix-up in your code: Node class instances have the data attribute, not the Tree class instance. So if you want to display the root's data, you should reference:
root.head.data

However, more of your code is suffering from this mix up. See the second part of my answer.

head.leftChild.inorder()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'inorder'

This happens because you did not first check whether head.leftChild is maybe None. Your code only checked that head was not None, but sometimes head.leftChild will be None.
Other problems / remarks

*

*elif val < head.data: will skip values when already present
When the value to insert is already in the tree, it will be skipped. If this is your purpose, then it is fine. If however, you want your tree to accept and store duplicate values, this should be just else:.

*The Tree class should not define both a root and a head member.
They are equivalent in meaning -- you should only keep one. As this is a tree, it sounds more logical to choose root as a name. head is more commonly used as a name in linked list implementations.

*The constructor of Tree should not create a root node.
A tree can have 0 nodes. This is a valid concept. So the Tree constructor should not require that you pass a value for the root node. It should just create the instance without any node, initialising the root as None.

*The insert method should not create other Tree instances.
It should create Node instances directly. Your implementation is going to create a Tree instance for every value, which in turn creates a single Node for each. This is overkill and costs a lot more memory than needed. The idea is to create one Tree instance, and 0 or more Node instances.

*Define an insert method on Node.
Because of the previous point, and because you have designed your insert method to be recursive (which is fine), you should define it on the Node class. The Tree class will then just have a simple insert method that calls the method with the same name on the root member.

*Define an inorder method on Node.
The same principle as above: as inorder is recursive and you'll want to iterate Nodes, define it on the Node class.

*Methods should not be designed to print.
Printing is something that should be kept separate from such data structure implementations (except when you need to debug). Instead of having inorder print, make it yield the values. That way the caller can decide freely what they want to do with the values.
Here is a version of your code that takes the above points into account:
class Node:
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.data = val
        self.leftChild = None
        self.rightChild = None

    def insert(self, val):  # Define on Node class
        if val > self.data:
            if not self.rightChild:
                self.rightChild = Node(val)  # You should create a Node
            else:
                self.rightChild.insert(val)
        else:  # Also store duplicates (if that is what you want)
            if not self.leftChild:
                self.leftChild = Node(val)
            else:
                self.leftChild.insert(val)

    def inorder(self):
        if self.leftChild:
            yield from self.leftChild.inorder()
        yield self.data   # Don't print. Yield!
        if self.rightChild:
            yield from self.rightChild.inorder()

class Tree:
    def __init__(self):  # No value argument
        # No need for both a head and a root member
        self.root = None

    def insert(self, val):
        if self.root:
            self.root.insert(val)  # Let the Node class do the job
        else:
            self.root = Node(val)  # First node

    def inorder(self):
        if self.root:
            yield from self.root.inorder()  # Let the Node class do the job

You could then use it as:
data = [1,2,3,4,5]
tree = Tree()  # Create an instance of the tree without arguments
for val in data:
    tree.insert(val)
# Iterate the values of the tree, and print them.
print(*tree.inorder())

As if playing Han Solo in Star Wars wasn't enough, Harrison Ford landed the part of another iconic hero in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark. From the dream team of director Steven Spielberg and executive producer/story writer George Lucas, this old-fashioned adventure introduced us to the hat-wearing, whip-cracking archaeologist Indiana Jones.
Set in 1936, Raiders of the Lost Ark sees Indy (Ford) enlisted by the US military to locate long-lost Biblical relic the Ark of Covenant, which the Nazis are trying to locate. Indy's quest reunites him with his old flame Marion (Karen Allen), with whom he journeys to Egypt to find the Ark before the nefarious Belloq (Paul Freeman), a rival of Indy in the employ of the Nazis.
Steven Spielberg had long dreamed of directing a James Bond movie, but when the 007 producers turned him down his friend George Lucas pitched him Indy, a two-fisted hero in the vein of the swashbuckling serials both men loved growing up.
When it came to casting their leading man, Spielberg and Lucas first wanted Tom Selleck. However, Selleck had already signed on to star in TV series Magnum, PI and had to turn it down, clearing the way for Harrison Ford.
Making $384 million worldwide, Raiders of the Lost Ark was the biggest box office hit of 1981. The decade ahead saw two sequels in 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. A TV spin-off, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, followed in the 90s. Then in 2008, the movie series was revived with the divisive Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
A fifth Indiana Jones movie is scheduled for July 2022, although only Harrison Ford will be returning. James Mangold is expected to take over from Spielberg in the director's chair.

beside the TV. Looks good there, too. That's a 3 year old JVC 27″ I'Art by the way…. I art happy with it. Even though it art a little small for me these days. Hey, there's my lost shaker of salt!!! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to move the NZXT elsewhere – the TV is picking up interference from the SilverStone PSU. I'll turn the camera flash on and give you another look.
After taking these pictures, I proceeded to spend the evening using the box to watch MST3K and observe how well the case kept those noisy Fujitsu hard drives quiet. I discovered that while the case easily kept the board, video card, chipset, and CPU cool, it wasn't very quiet. This shouldn't be taken as a mark against the case though – remember I was using a SilverStone Zeus power supply, two 120mm fans, and three 80mm fans total aside from the hard drives. However, the fans were all mostly quiet – only the Ultra 120mm fans made any discernible noise over-top of the fan in the power supply. Thanks to the board's ability to control the chipset and CPU fans, those fans were dead silent. And the CPU stayed below 36 degrees, too.
The majority of the racket came, pretty obviously, from those two ancient Fujitsu hard drives. My suggestion when considering this case is to look for the most silent hard drive you can find – this case can't help you if your hard drives sound like a jet engine taking off (small exaggeration) when spinning up.
Hard drives aside, I get the impression this case has the ability to keep your HTPC pretty quiet as long as you carefully choose what goes into it. During my brief run with the X-Pro in the case instead of the SilverStone, it was substantially quieter. But, with the SilverStone and the two Fujitsus making a racket, I had no trouble telling whether the system was on from anywhere in the room.

Long Island's Luann de Lesseps tells cops 'I'm gonna kill you' in arrest video

By Frank Lovece Special to Newsday Updated May 1, 2018 8:17 AM
During her Dec. 23 arrest for disorderly intoxication and other charges, Sag Harbor's Luann de Lesseps, of "The Real Housewives of New York," threatened to "kill" Florida police officers while handcuffed in the back of a patrol car.
"I want my shoes and my bag and my stuff. Don't touch -- don't touch me. Don't touch me. I'm gonna kill you!" de Lesseps, 52, screams toward the end of a nearly five-minute video that had been entered into discovery, the pre-trial phase in which attorneys exchange evidentiary documents. State Attorney Dave Aronberg released it as part of a public-records request.
In the stationary, black-and-white video, de Lesseps continues ranting, "I'll kill you! …I will kill you! For what? For what did I do? I did nothing wrong. Don't touch me. Don't touch me," she begins repeating.
Earlier in the video, an off-screen female officer tells a friend of de Lesseps', "It turns into battery. She hit a law enforcement officer in the head. … That's all it is end of the day." The officer later assures the friend, "I'll let you know exactly when she's free to go."
"Julie! Julie!" de Lesseps calls out, referring to Julie Olson, with whom she was at The Colony hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, the night de Lesseps allegedly barricaded herself in the bathroom of a room that was not hers and later aggressively confronted police. On Jan. 24, she was charged with resisting an officer with violence, trespassing an occupied structure and disorderly intoxication.
After repeatedly intoning, "I've done nothing wrong! I've done nothing wrong. Let me out. Let me out, please. Let me out...," de Lesseps has her handcuffs removed momentarily by a male officer in order to adjust them. Around the three-minute mark, she exits the car, asking, "So why? So why? Why? … Why would you do that to me? Why would you? For what? For what?"
As she continues, an officer is heard saying, "Stop resisting." De Lesseps begins threatening, "Oh, my God, I'm gonna get -- I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, big time. You're gonna be so bad. You're gonna be so bad that you've, you've done nothing, I've done nothing wrong. I've done nothing wrong and you're handcuffing me." At around the four-minute mark, she is placed back into the car and makes the "kill you" comments.

De Lesseps' attorney, Doug Duncan, of the West Palm Beach firm Roth and Duncan, did not respond to a Newsday request for comment, and de Lesseps has not commented publicly.
After being released on her own recognizance from Palm Beach County jail on Christmas Eve, the reality-TV star tweeted, "I want to offer my most sincere apologies to anyone that I might have offended with my behavior. … I am committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018." Days later, she tweeted, "I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center."

Education Index Painting: Vincent Van Gogh, Bedroom in Arles
Painting: Vincent Van Gogh, Bedroom in Arles
Van Gogh and The Representation of Happiness Through His Own Bedroom
Vincent Van Gogh, Bedroom in Arles, 1889, Oil on canvas, currently at the De Young Museum (San Francisco),
"Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and Beyond: Post-Impressionist Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay"Exhibition.
On a smaller canvas than two other similar paintings, Vincent Van Gogh carefully painted for the third time his bedroom in Arles, a charming town in the south of France, and thus created this approximately 22 ½ x 29'' artwork. In fact, Van Gogh made three almost identical paintings on the theme of his bedroom and are named « Bedroom in Arles ». The first one, kept at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is painted in October 1888. About a year after, Van …show more content…
This is reminiscent of a children's coloring which would have been filled in with color pencils, because the edges of objects are bolder and their filling up seem almost slapdash, neglected. This elaborate post-impressionist design may be compared to such work as Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (book p.370). But whereas Van Gogh favored paintings composed of multiple thin brush strokes, Seurat preferred the use of the pointillism system, which consisted of "applying color to the canvas in tiny dots.3" In this painting of Seurat, the color also focuses on hues. There are numerous colors too, their contrast is intense, and the sun shine, like in the Van Gogh's bedroom, fills the picture, suggesting happiness and tranquility. Like Van Gogh, Seurat played with repetitive forms (the parasols, people in profile, trees, and boats). People in this piece are rigid. In fact, they do not seem to move, but on the contrary, seem to be strangely paralyzed, paralleling the furniture of Van Gogh's bedroom. Strangely, Van Gogh's furniture seems to be even more "alive" than the people in the Seurat's painting. The two painters did not have the same approach when they decided which colors they wanted to illuminate their canvases; while Van Gogh was guided by his emotions and instant feelings, Seurat carefully analyzed the colors and "meticulously calculated values.3" But in both pieces, Van Gogh and Seurat express their sense of organization by making objects, forms,

Fri., Nov. 18. 2022 4:13pm EST
However, in May 2021, I realized that I'd neglected to include many influential albums along the way, so I've been catching up on those for a while before we get to that momentous moment in '88 when my life and musical trajectory was forever changed. But this week is the last batch of those. Next week, we start on the Christian albums.
You'll still see plenty of secular albums later on this list, but music was never the same for me after.
919. Hello, Dolly! - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
After The Beatles hit America in early 1964 and locked up the top spot of the Hot 100 for 14 straight weeks, it was a most unlikely fellow who broke their streak and put an American back at #1 ... trumpeter/vocalist Louis Armstrong. And the song he did it with was the title tune from the 1964 hit Broadway musical Hello, Dolly! Although he didn't appear in the stage version, the original cast recording still hit #1 on the Billboard album chart. In fact, it was the top album of '64 on the year-end chart, despite the fact that The Fab Four also had chart-topping LPs that year with Meet the Beatles, The Beatles' Second Album, and A Hard Day's Night. The cast recording of Hello, Dolly! was knocked out of the peak position by Armstrong's own Hello, Dolly! LP. Old Satchmo's single version of "Hello, Dolly!" was the third biggest-song on the Billboard year-end singles chart for 1964 after "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You." We didn't have the Broadway cast recording or Armstrong's album in my house when I was growing up, but we did have the motion-picture soundtrack, which was released in October '69 and only went to #49. Carol Channing played Dolly in the original musical, but Barbra Streisand took the title role in the movie and glided through the songs effortlessly. Nevertheless, she left room for Louis to make a guest vocal appearance (he played the orchestra leader) during one of the verses on the title track. The other two songs I remember most from hearing this record in my youth are "It Takes a Woman" and "Put On Your Sunday Clothes." And you gotta love the opener, "Just Leave Everything to Me." I can't sing like Streisand, but I can do Satchmo (until it starts to take a toll on my throat). However, I actually prefer imitating Channing's voice. No, really, I do.
920. Less Than Zero - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Released in November 1987, the Less Than Zero soundtrack was one of the first I remember to feature both rock and rap. Believe it or not, I mainly bought it because I liked Poison's cover of "Rock and Roll All Nite" at the time. I thought Aerosmith's take on "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" was slightly amusing, but Slayer's remake of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was too harsh for my tastes. If I were to go back to revisit this album today, my standout tracks would probably be "Bring the Noise" by Public Enemy and "Goin' Back to Cali" by LL Cool J. The big hit was "A Hazy Shade of Winter" by The Bangles, which went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. I was a Bangles backer, but I vastly preferred Simon & Garfunkel's original version.
921. Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap - AC/DC
Although AC/DC's third LP, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, came out in Europe and Australia in 1976, it wasn't officially released in the United States until 1981, to capitalize on the success of their seventh LP, Back in Black. It spawned two songs that were extremely popular during my junior and senior years of high school: the title track (#4 rock) and another tune about a person who was particularly proud of the formal dance parties he hosted at his home (#26 rock). Despite the delay, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap went the whole way up to #3 on the Billboard album chart, selling six million copies in the United States alone. That makes it AC/DC's third-biggest album of all time here, after Back in Black (20 million) and Highway to Hell (7 million).
922. Hold Your Fire - Rush
Rush's 12th studio LP, Hold Your Fire, was released in September 1987. I received it as a Christmas gift that year from an old friend but didn't get into it as much as other Rush albums I'd owned. The only songs I really remember were the two they played the most on our local rock station, "Force Ten" and "Time Stand Still" (with additional vocals by Aimee Mann of 'Til Tuesday), each of which reached #3 on the national rock charts. A third track, "Lock and Key" also hit the rock Top 20 (#16). The whole thing was quite listenable, but there wasn't much that stood out to me. However, this album did impact me in another way: I finally got to see Rush in concert on the tour they did in support of it. They made their Pitt stop on December 16, 1987 at the Civic Arena. I've talked to other past and present members of ApologetiX, and apparently a number of us were there that night, although we wouldn't meet till many years later. ApologetiX has spoofed Rush twice, in 2002 and 2011, but nothing from Hold Your Fire, although we did spoof a 'Til Tuesday tune in 2017.
923. The Ultimate Rascals - The Rascals
I got this album — one of my first CDs — as a Christmas present from my college buddy Tom Dellaquila in 1987. Although we'd both graduated from IUP in the spring of '86, we were in a band together, working at the same company, and sharing an apartment in the second half of '87. Tom owned a CD player; I didn't have one yet, but I still wanted CDs! As I mentioned earlier on this list, I already owned a store-bought cassette of The Rascals' first greatest hits collection, Time Peace, but The Ultimate Rascals had every chart hit from that album plus all five Top 40 hits they had after it, most notably, "People Got to Be Free," a #1 hit for five weeks in 1968. The other later hits were "A Ray of Hope" (#24), "Carry Me Back" (#26), "See" (#27), and "Heaven" (#39). But I liked "Find Somebody"— one of the few non-hits on this CD (I mentioned it in the entry for the album Groovin') — every bit as much, if not more. I also liked the non-hit "Easy Rollin'," but that one had also been on Time Peace, whereas "Find Somebody" had not. ApologetiX eventually spoofed "People Got to Be Free" in 2014.
924. The Soft Parade - The Doors
By the time I bought The Soft Parade, I owned The Doors' first and fifth albums, and I'd heard their second and third, so I figured I'd check out their fourth. Released in July 1969, it contained the #3 hit "Touch Me." The most memorable remaining tracks for me were "Tell All the People" and "The Soft Parade." I also liked "Runnin' Blue" and "Wishful Sinful." I didn't realize it, but three of those tracks were also released as singles and had moderate chart success ("Wishful Sinful" went to #44, "Tell All the People" to #57, and "Runnin' Blue" to #64). Because it incorporated strings and horns with orchestral arrangements and a jazz flavor, The Soft Parade was generally regarded as the album where The Doors lost their way as a rock band. Nowadays, having read the Bible many times since 1988, I think anybody who screams "You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!" (as Jim Morrison famously did during the intro section of the title track) has lost their way. After all, I know now that statement is in direct opposition to verses like Philippians 4:6 ("Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God"), 1 Timothy 2:1 ("I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people"), and Hebrews 5:7 ("During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission"). But back when I was listening to The Soft Parade in December '87, I was totally unaware. That was all about to change very soon, however ...
925. Good Morning, Vietnam - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
I bought this album on cassette in January 1988, right after seeing the movie. I think I saw it at IUP (I still visited there a lot during my first two years after college) with a few female friends from my fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, the National Service Fraternity (we had guys and girls in our frat). I know I played the tape around them a bit afterward, especially "I Got You (I Feel Good)" by James Brown. I'd sing his parts, and the ladies would sing the horn parts. I'd known about that song but had never actually heard it till then. ApologetiX eventually released a spoof of it in 2013. This soundtrack features 12 oldies, with brief comedic bits by Robin Williams interspersed. As I mentioned earlier on this list, I'd purchased Robin's 1979 debut comedy album, Reality ... What a Concept, shortly after it came out. I had a number of the songs on the Good Morning, Vietnam soundtrack already, but ones I didn't previously know and/or own that I really enjoyed were "Nowhere to Run" (Martha and the Vandellas), "Liar, Liar" (The Castaways), "Baby, Please Don't Go" (Them), "California Sun" (The Rivieras), and "What a Wonderful World" (Louis Armstrong). Honorable mention to "Five O'Clock World" (The Vogues). Although I owned a copy of that song elsewhere, I loved it so much that I was happy to have it here, too.

Электора́льная география — раздел политической географии, изучающий территориальные различия в предпочтениях избирателей, географические закономерности результатов выборов и референдумов, влияние на их итоги общественных, экономических, религиозных, этнических и прочих факторов.

Методы электоральной географии также применяются и при анализе на основе итогов волеизъявления граждан политической ситуации в странах и регионах в контексте географического пространства. К прикладным задачам электоральной географии относится нарезка избирательных округов. Относится к междисциплинарным исследованиям и находится в тесной связи с географией, социологией, политологией, экономикой, историей, однако базовой наукой является именно география. Основным методом данной дисциплины является сравнительный анализ результатов голосования по территориям и составление карты выборов.

Закономерности
Устойчивые электоральные предпочтения регионов в целом меняются достаточно медленно. Одна из общих закономерностей электоральной географии показывает, что изменения в политической ориентации с опозданием следуют за изменениями в социальной и экономической сферах. Однако каких-либо определённых сроков актуальности географических закономерностей в политике не существует: одни из них могут держаться десятилетиями, другие характеризуют лишь определённый период в развитии страны или региона. Например, в России так называемый красный пояс, считавшийся данностью в 1990-е годы, после прихода к власти Путина ослаб, а в 2010-е годы восстановился. Другая же российская закономерность — противопоставление более либеральных Москвы и Петербурга остальным регионам, где поддержка партий, апеллирующих к демократическим ценностям, ниже — всё ещё проявляется в итогах российских выборов.

Выявленные закономерности электоральной географии нередко становятся общеупотребительными метафорами: красный пояс в России,  в США.

История
Электоральная география возникла во Франции в начале XX века. Трудом, положившим начало этой дисциплине, считается работа  «Политический обзор запада Франции во времена Третьей республики» (), установивший закономерности между природными характеристиками и итогами выборов в западной части страны. Методы Зигфрида использовал американский исследователь  для описания политической ситуации в южных штатах. 1960-е годы характеризуются бо́льшим скептицизмом по отношению к электорально-географическим методам, однако в наши дни они вновь приобретают актуальность.

Multidisciplinary Study of Fiction Writing
Author: Bloor, Anthony
Models of the writing process are used in teaching, research, and the design of software tools for writers. This study constructs a model of fiction writing. It approaches the subject in an investigative fashion, looking firstly at the range of models in current use. The result is a basic model of writing, which encapsulates the findings of empirical research into writing behavior. It shows that current theories of writing make assumptions about language, whose roots can be traced to Chomsky's transformational grammar and its forebears. To add specificity to the basic model, the study turns to Saussure's view of language as a system of signs, and pursues the idea that semiology and literary theory can be used to develop theories of writing as well as of reading. It discusses work by Jakobson, Genette, Todorov and Barthes, and proposes a hypothesis about the ways in which fiction writers create meanings. Written for readers in the humanities, it will be of equal value to any scholar who is interested in the theory and practice of writing.
"… a major contribution to the psychology of writing. It surveys and extends research from the past twenty years into how people write and the structure of written text. The book's particular contribution is to draw together literary theory, linguistics and cognitive psychology into a new and accessible account of how fiction writers think and work. The book will be interest to students of literature and psychology as well as to practicing and aspiring writers of fiction." – Prof. Mike Sharples, Research Chair in Education Technology, The University of Birmingham, England
"… as Bloor writes, models are crucial. Implicit in any conception of writing, they have serious implications both for the teaching of writing and for the design of software that might be employed in that project. Growing from this assertion is a meticulous recursive exploration of theory and literary product that incorporates the work of such theorists as Hayes and Flower, Sharples and Pemberton, Freud, Chomsky, Saussure and others that yields a flexible, comprehensive model of the fictional text and the processes involved in its generation." – Dr. Phebe Davidson, University of South Carolina, Aiken
"This highly theoretical book is written in an accessible and clear style ... this is an significant study." - Consciousness, Literature and the Arts

Legal expert says law "untested" on PS3 OS removal
Retail obligations and manufacturer liabilities at heart of new class action, says lawyer
David Jenkins
Sony Computer Entertainment America
The recent class action against Sony and the removal of the Install Other OS feature from the PlayStation 3 highlights a "relatively untested" area of UK and European law, Jas Purewal, a lawyer at Olswang LLP and writer of GamerLaw, has told GamesIndustry.biz.
Purewal's comments were made following the revelation yesterday that Sony faces a class action lawsuit over the removal of the "Other OS" features commonly used to install the Linux operating system on the console.
Sony removed the feature in a firmware update after hackers exploited the option to gain read/write access to the PlayStation 3.
"This case raises questions about whether console manufacturers or retailers should be liable over the removal of features which were marketed to consumers at the point of sale but are removed subsequently," said Purewal.
Amazon UK has reportedly already issued a partial refund after a customer complaint, with the law in Europe placing the onus of liability on retailers.
"This issue is relatively untested in the UK and Europe. Consumer protection is an important part of UK/EU law, which imposes certain minimum legal obligations on retailers regarding the sale of goods to consumers: for example, goods must be of satisfactory quality and must be fit for purpose," said Purewal.
"Consumers could argue that changes to console functionality are a breach of those obligations," he added. "On the other hand, there is an argument that manufacturers should have leeway if the console needs to be modified for genuine reasons, such as security or anti-piracy."
The class action was filed in a North District of California court and so the role of the retailer in the issue is not likely to be a key focus.
"Clearly this matter raises quite complex issues and, if it was litigated in Europe, it would be interesting to see where the courts' sympathy would lie," said Purewal.

I don't know the ins and outs of the legal standing, but it seems utterly absurd to try and sue Sony for $5 million because of the removal of an Operating System from a $300 piece of hardware. I would question what Anthony Ventura used his PS3 for, and how he possibly reached such a sum as compensation.

It's frivolous and asinine, is what it is. I feel this is a big ploy for some one to try and squeeze some money out of Sony. It seems as soon as Sony starts to get their legs back underneath them, something like this happen to try and hack them off at the knees. Yes the removal of the feature sucks, but if somebody needs to use linux so badly why can't they just install it on a real computer? Again I thinks this is just a childish grab for money.

Yes, I see now. I was of the assumption this Anthony Ventura was sueing them on his own, as his is the only name mentioned.
Even so, I would be interested in seeing how many people are part of this class action.
Joe Bassi Managing Director & Business Development, Mertech Data Systems11 years ago
What is clear to me is Sony is really getting very badly advised. They knew this Linux support removal would cause a commotion for the early PS3 customers. They just made public this removal in their Blog with few days in advance and despite 7,000+ comments over there Sony remained silent as a rock and pushed a polemic update that just removed the Linux feature, giving nothing in return.
By the time the PS3 was created there was a distinction made by Sony itself stating Gaming is one thing and Computing is other one very distinguished. In an interview on Japan's PC Watch (http://www.edge-online.com/news/kutaragi... Ken Kutaragi pushed the PS3 as a computer, not as a game console.
"Speaking about the PS3, we never said we will release a game console, (...) It is radically different from the previous PlayStation. It is clearly a computer. Indeed, with a game console, you need to take out any unnecessary elements inside the console in order to decrease its cost. ... This will of course apply to the PS3 as well."
"The HDD is not the only element which gives the PS3 its computer nature. Everything has been planned and designed so it will become a computer. The previous PlayStation had a memory slot as its unique interface. In contrast, the PS3 features PC standard interfaces. Because they are standard, they are open."
"We put up no restrictions. Because it is a computer, it can interact with anything, freely. If someone is familiar with PC building, he or she can upgrade easily PS3's HDD."
"After all, we don't say it's a game console PS3 is clearly a computer unlike PSs of so far. "
As many of you should know, Ken Kutaragi is the former Chairman and chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCEI), the video game division of Sony Corporation. He is known as "The Father of the PlayStation".
I would say thousands of users bought the old PS3 model knowing they were getting the Linux support. All these customers – using Linux or not - just felt deluded by Sony.
This lack of diplomacy will cost money to Sony and will stain its reputation.

This is a man who's looking for a get-rich-quick method. I don't know Ventura's legal background, but I'm guessing he did a little digging and came up with these reasons, then brought them to a lawyer to see if he had a case. The lawyer, of course, said yes and the suit was on.
Whatever the case may be, I seriously doubt the courts will rule in Ventura's favor. Sony's lawyers are, no doubt, way more informed than this guy and can prepare a defense against pretty much anything that he has claim against. And let's not forget that the government is all for security and against piracy so if Sony really did strip the Other OS option for those reasons, they were perfectly in the right to protect their property by doing so.
Sony even made a statement that the number of PS3 owners who actually use the Other OS option are likely very limited. Even if all 7,000+ comments on the Playstation Blog entry about this were from different users, 7,000 people using Linux on the PS3 compared to millions of PS3 owners is a small percentage. Sony is looking out for the majority, which is always how businesses have to run.
I will be very surprised if this suit actually rules in Ventura's favor. Even if Sony is in the wrong, they will likely settle out of court instead of letting this farce go on.
Christopher Hennen Designer 11 years ago
These things happen on an almost daily basis here in the States. Rarely do they go to trial, usually the point of the way these suits are written up is to try to get the large company (this round Sony) to settle out of court for an undisclosed sum, it is done by the company to save face, and also legal fees.
Sometimes the companies fight it, but fiscally it almost always makes sense to settle out of court, even if the large company could easily win.
The first option that Sony will pursue will probably be to find some grounds to ask the court to throw the case out.
Andrew Jakobs Lead Programmer 11 years ago
@people saying: 'just install linux on a pc.' , there isn't a cell-enabled PC.. Installing linux, isn't mostly because of linux itself, but being able to harness the CELL yourself.. Also OtherOS doesn't mean Linux, it means you can install OtherOSses (also you can create your own OS)..
Even if it's a relative small group of people who use it, it's still a group of consumers who bought the console knowing they could use OtherOS. One of the reasons I bought the PS3 was because of being able to program/toy with the CELL proc through OtherOS, bluray was even a bigger reason, and being able to play games was a lesser reason. If the PS3 didn't have OtherOS, I wouldn't have bought the PS3 at that time, so it was the reason that made me decide to buy the PS3.. Otherwise I would have waited until the price was even lower as it is now and for a new revision which uses even less of power.. OR I would have just bought myself a normal bluray player..
Also Sony must ofcourse show the real need for removing the OtherOS option. As at this point it wasn't necessary to remove it as there still wasn't anything possible with it, and also the hack used for even getting to that point is so cumbersome that it won't affect anything.. They could also have waited until there was a real reason like it actually being hacked and being able to do stuff with it like real homebrew through XMB or being able to play iso's.. Also there was an official statement they wouldn't remove the option from the older models, even though back then people where already moaning when the rumor of removal was spreading through the internet.. No they waited 2 day before the release of that specific firmware (which only removes the option, and doesn't add anything new), just to make sure there wasn't enough time to complain..
Instead of just trying to fix the holes, they just removed a complete feature.. what if through JavaBD it would be possible to hack the PS3, will they remove the BD option althougether? Also the removal of OtherOS on the Slim is a sign Sony already had plans of removing the option even before some hacker had some succes (as it's already known that the lack of OtherOS isn't due to technical-reasons as Sony claimed themselves)..
I hope the Sony looses the lawsuit, as it should be clear it's just not done to remove complete features after the sale. I'd rather hope the outcome would be the return of OtherOS... But I guess we'll have to wait for being able to use that again on some hackers...
Frank Bowen Sr. Project Manager, THQ11 years ago
"it's still a group of consumers who bought the console knowing they could use OtherOS." If they bought it and the change only effects new purchasers how are the old purchasers hurt? They are not. It would only hurt new purchasers unaware that they pulled this out and they were expecting the feature to be in the machine.

"If they bought it and the change only effects new purchasers how are the old purchasers hurt?" From what I have read, this change affects all PS3s, not simply new versions. So if that is the case, Andrew Jakobs makes a very valid point.

Jose Antonio Bassi Fernandes your right they didn't even try to make it optional. they just force you to remove it and the firmware did nothing else but remove the OS
David Spender Lead Programmer 11 years ago
Unfortunately lawsuits are the only way to get companies to listen these days. When things only affect a 'miniscule' portion of the total population, they don't care if its wrong or even illegal.
That's the standard company line recently when DRM breaks everything or when an update goes bad. "Oh, we apologize, but it only affected .01% of all users" as if that suddenly makes everything acceptable. Doing something only .01% illegal is still illegal. It should be 20 million.
Robbie Kazandjian Director, SoundBoy Ltd11 years ago
The comment above from Tyler is madness.
He acts as though upsetting at least 7000 consumers is nothing. Just the cost of those customers PS3s added together is significant cash.
The fact that companies (any company) think they can change usability of advertised features AFTER release with no liability is crazy. Of course they should be liable. The court should decide to what extent.
Graham Finch Programming 11 years ago
Recently the US government bought a large number of PS3's to perform password cracking at border security. The US air force has bought quantities before,
Its not uncommon for universities and science labs to buy a cluster of PS3's and build a cheap super computer (up to 32 can be networked together without much trouble), I have been involved in one such project myself.
The removal of other OS support is a blow, IBM will sell you a cell chip on a card, but its about 10-20 times the price.
I think Sony should provide some method for this academic use to continue, maybe you would need to register first, before unlocking it , but I would not see that as a problem.
Andreas Kannegiesser Project Manager, Enzyme Testing Labs11 years ago
I'm with Andrew Jacobs. Removal of the OtherOS feature only affected the early adopters, the ones who spend 600 US$/Can$ /Eur on their console as the feature was already removed for the PS3Slim. What if the hackers would now find a fault in the PS2 emulation for cracking the PS3? Would everyone accept it to be removed as Sony's own survey shows there's only a minority using it to play PS2 games? I had Linux on my PS3, and even though the performance wasn't really that good and the catalog of programs wasn't that big, it was still a value for the ones paying the high price for the big PS3s.
@Graham Finch: I've heard about these clusters set up with PS3s too, but I guess these PS3s will not get the latest firmware updates as they will not be used to connect to PSN ;) But who knows... if the hackers can bring back OtherOS even to the PS3Slim, maybe there will be a lot more hardware sold for clusters.
After a while you start thinking that not all hackers are bad, some just try to keep their rights as a user, buyer and consumer which were i.e. crippled by the companies in the beginning.

Netflix's "Bridgerton" romanticizes colonialism
By Hilary Nguyen, Opinion Editor|April 20, 2022
The second season of Netflix's Bridgerton, starring Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, and Charithra Chandran, dropped on the streaming platform on March 25. Photo courtesy of Netflix
Orchestral renditions of Rihanna and Madonna's music. Lavish parties in colossal estates. One viscount intertwined with two sisters. March 25 marked the return of Netflix's hit series "Bridgerton".
The second season, based on the second book (The Viscount Who Loved Me) in Julia Quinn's eight book series, follows Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) as he searches for the perfect debutante to make his viscountess. This season features a love triangle between Anthony and the two new Sharma sisters in town. The Sharma family, headed by Lady Mary (Shelley Conn), has returned to London; Lady Mary had been abandoned by her parents after marrying an Indian man of low caste. She is joined by her two daughters, Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran) and her older sister, Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), her husband's daughter from his previous marriage. Together, the three join the London season to find Edwina a love match.
Bridgerton initially garnered widespread critical acclaim in 2020, notably for using Hamilton casting rules (colorblind casting). In Julia Quinn's novels, all the main characters are white, including the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) from season 1. Unlike other period shows, like Downton Abbey, Bridgerton offered a new refreshing world where race is just one of the many qualities of characters. Showrunner Chris Van Dusen continued to use color-conscious casting in this season, which features multiple Indian actresses as lead characters. Van Dusen's reasoning for using this casting style was to remake a Regency era that reflects our modern-day society.
"Even though it's set in the 19th century, we still wanted modern audiences to relate to it, and see themselves on screen no matter who they were," said Van Dusen in an interview with Collider.
It is easy to deduce that Bridgerton is not historically accurate; I mean, what 19th century Londoner listened to a string arrangement of Harry Styles' Sign of the Times? However, while Bridgerton is set in an alternate universe, the show places a heavy emphasis on historical timelines, using real names and periods.
In the show, Guyanese-British actress Golda Rosheuvel plays Queen Charlotte, who was in reign during this era. Some historians claim that Queen Charlotte has Black lineage, possibly descending from a Black branch of the Portuguese royal family. Additionally, in season 2, her husband, King George III is ill, which is seemingly accurate as he was nicknamed the "mad king". In the show, he mistakes Edwina Sharma in a wedding dress as his wife and believes that it is his wedding day. While this obviously didn't happen in reality, King George III's actions align with historians' beliefs that he had porphyria.
It's almost hard to discern the history; it skews history and for people who aren't knowledgeable on the regency era, it creates this new world for them, erasing the world that actually happened.
Bridgerton takes place around 1813, when India was still colonized by Britain. In the show, the Sharma family is regarded as nobility, a rank they most likely would not have had in reality. Lady Mary is the daughter of a white Earl and an Indian countess. While it was not uncommon for British men to marry locals in the 19th century, it was more so British men serving in India rather than nobility.
Moreover, in order for Kate's family to come over from Bombay to Britain, they would have needed extreme caste privilege; members of high castes were wealthy and had access to more opportunities than those in lower castes. Since their father was a low caste clerk, it is hard to imagine that they would have had the ability to do so in reality. It was also a common practice for those in high castes to exploit those below them.
But even Indians at the top of the caste system did not share the same dynamic as British people in Colonial India; they were there to please the British more than anything. Additionally, so many Indian women were exploited by British colonizers through the Cantonment Acts; what are the chances that the Sharma sisters would have been treated the way they were by Anthony Bridgerton?
While both season 1 and 2 of Bridgerton have minorities playing main character roles, only season 1, while brief, addresses race; in a discussion with the Duke of Hastings, Lady Danbury tells him, "We were two separate societies divided by color until a king fell in love with one of us." In season 2, neither race nor the colonization going on overseas is acknowledged. Instead, we get discussions over horses and the size of estates.
As a minority, I love seeing representation in all forms of entertainment media. I especially love it in regards to historical fiction pieces. But what is the point if their history is distorted? Is that real representation? There is a difference between showing minorities on screen and representing minorities. In regards to season 2 of Bridgerton, there were moments when it felt as though characters of color were there for representation purposes only. Personally, I feel as though ton modiste Genevieve Delacroix (Kathryn Drysdale) could have a storyline more complex than that of just a highly sought after modiste.
Despite being on the show for both seasons and a temporary love interest of Benedict Bridgerton, her background and overall character aren't as fleshed out as the Bridgerton siblings or new season characters like Edwina and Lady Mary. She's simply there to forward the story lines of the Bridgerton family despite being a character intertwined with so many main characters in the show.
My initial reaction to this season was like that of many viewers. I saw the show as a form of escapism; it creates a new London society where living life as nobility does not depend on skin color and viewers can focus on pining for another Pride and Prejudice-esque rain scene. But my flaw is that instead of writing reviews based on how I felt in the moment, I write my reviews after I have had time to start hating it. My discomfort with Bridgerton is definitely subjective. However, I feel as though to ignore history in Bridgerton's multicultural London world erases its reality and the colonial experiences (and trauma) that others had to live through.

Never one to follow, KID BOOKIE blazes his own fierce trail but this time with a little help from some friends in the now legendary Wheatus by reimagining a cult classic in the form of 'Bookie's Dirtbag'. Known far and wide and across the ages, the classic song, whose iconic early noughties video championed our unlikely hero Jason Biggs in 'Loser', has been integral to counterculture since its inception.
The new single is accompanied by a brand new video shot and directed by Wowa (Tion Wayne / Steff London / Lady Leshurr) and is a modern take on the classic story as told in the original video.
Regardless of its interpretation, KID BOOKIE's new single fundamentally reminds us that at one point in time, we were all teenage dirtbags. Using this as an inspiration, the song's cover art is a composite of faces, some of which you may recognise regardless of how early the photos are! They feature those that are near and dear to KID BOOKIE, as well as of course the man himself in their teenage years.
Here's what KID BOOKIE had to say about how the new single came together and his experience of the original :
"This song means to me, what it probably does to everyone on the planet that has experienced being the piece of shit, teenage loser-esque, nobody. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, if rock music has been a muse for you at any point of your life, then this record is a staple in rock culture and will be for generations to come, especially the one I came from."
BOOKIE continues:
"To even have the opportunity to not only work with Wheatus but to really understand each other and the thesis behind even wanting to create an interpolated version of Dirtbag is a ridiculous fucking anomaly when I think about the trajectory of not only where I have come from, but who I am. I'm a student of every artist I love that has come before me, so to work with one of the professors is always fucking awesome".
Working together on the song has also brought a new perspective to its original creator, lead vocalist and guitarist of Wheatus Brendan B. Brown. It proves that twenty years and a whole new generation later, the song's timeless sentiment still rings true. Brendan had the following to say:
"I've always felt that my intentions for the song and its inception are not as important as the way people see themselves in it currently. Teenage Dirtbag lives on because people can make it real for their own lives, now. Bookie's version does just that. He's reinventing the song with his own life, his purpose, his fears, his dreams. That's how he's created something new, because he found a space for himself in the narrative and that's the only renewable resource the song represents: other people, new experiences, new lives."
He continues:
"When we 1st came out in 2000 we were misfits all over again because "pop punk" was the only category we were put in…but it was wrong. Dirtbag is a laconic song. We're from NYC. We worked on that hip hop swing for years before we released it…influenced more by LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Soul Coughing, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Paul Simon, AC⚡DC, Metallica, Ani DiFranco, Talking Heads…We were never a SoCal punk band. So all these years later to be honored by an artist like Bookie, it's vindicating on our identity… ironically, because he's stamped it with his own. Love it."
The track comes after a whirlwind year supporting Casyette on her sold out UK tour alongside fellow Marshall Records artists Nova Twins in their native UK. KID BOOKIE was also recently announced as part of Download 20's line up for their sure to be iconic 20th anniversary instalment alongside being nominated for MOBO Awards' 'Best Alternative Music Act'. Whatever your age, generation or experience 'Bookie's Dirtbag' is a song that will appeal to the world over.

Ground Investigation for a Residential Development
Wrecclesham Hill, Farnham 23 March 2018
Kirkby Homes (Sunningdale) Limited were seeking to redevelop a former factory and bus depot site in Farnham, Surrey for high quality residential houses with associated domestic gardens and infrastructure. Re-development of former industrial land afforded the opportunity to regenerate the site and bring it back into productive use.
Enzygo Geoenvironmental Ltd undertook a desk study and ground investigation at the site which identified the presence of hydrocarbons associated with a former tank together with compounds associated with the sites historic industrial legacy.
Site History:
To ensure that risks were fully identified, a Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (DQRA) was undertaken by Enzygo Geoenvironmental Ltd, together with a detailed remediation strategy to safely allow development of the site.
The DQRA and remediation strategy were agreed with the local planning authority and have been incorporated in to the sites re-development.
What We Achieved
By combining the skills of our geo-environmental and hydrogeological teams we were able to provide a robust remediation strategy to allow safe development of the site but also manage costs and uncertainty through the construction process. Through the integration of technical services, the remediation works were effectively combined with the requirements for sub-structure and infrastructure design.
Further Work
We will continue to work closely with this client during the remediation and development process.
