Q: mongoose string.slice before query $regex I have a video model like,
video{
  videoName: {type: String, required: true}
  //other schema.....
}

and store a lot of filenames in database video1.mp4, video2.mp4, video3.mp4.........
But, I face a problem when I want to query videos,
 Video.find('videoName': { $regex: keyword, $options: 'i'}, function (err, docs) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        return;
    }
    res.json(docs);
});

if my keyword = m, p or 4, all videos will be displayed. So my idea is changing the filename before $regex query like videoName.slice.
Is it possible or just can change my schema and add new value without filename extension?
Thanks!

A: This is possible in a single query with aggregation using $substr
db.video.aggregate([
   {
      $project:{
         videoName:1,
         subName:{
            $substr:[
               "$videoName",
               0,
               {
                  $subtract:[
                     {
                        $strLenCP:"$videoName"
                     },
                     4
                  ]
               }
            ]
         }
      }
   },
   {
      $match:{
         subName:{
            $regex:/dom/gi
         }
      }
   }
])

output:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("58c8d9980750c5848e55b265"), "videoName" : "random.mp4", "subName" : "random" }

However, depending on your collection size, it's likely to be slow ($project stage on entire collection can be very expensive), so it may be better to store name without extension along with the full name in each document!

Q: Using rCharts to create Histogram I am trying unsucesfully to create a histogram using nPlot from rCharts. My data have the following format:
> head(Data)
   X       Date Age Race Sex         region
 1 1 2013-12-31  54 <NA>   M     washington
 2 2 2013-12-31  20 <NA>   M     california
 3 3 2013-12-31  34    B   M north carolina
 4 4 2013-12-30  43    B   M   pennsylvania
 5 5 2013-12-30  31    W   F     california
 6 6 2013-12-29  43    W   M       colorado

Using ggplot2 (and doBy for summaryBy) :
cdat <- summaryBy(Age~Sex,data=Data,FUN=c(mean),na.rm=TRUE)
cdat <- cdat[-3,]
ggplot(Data,aes(x=Age,fill=Sex))+
geom_histogram(binwidth=.7, alpha=.8, position="identity")+
geom_vline(data=cdat, aes(xintercept=Age.mean,  colour=Sex),
           linetype="dashed", size=1)

And the output is a histogram grouped by Sex:

I want to create a similar figure using rCharts package. I tried the following but without success:
output$Histogram1 <- renderChart({
    Trial <- summaryBy(.~Age+Sex,data=Data,FUN=length)
    Histogram1 <- nPlot(x='Age',y='X.length',group='Sex',data=Trial,type='bar',dom='Histogram1')
    Histogram1$chart(margin = list(left = 100))
    return(Histogram1)
})

The code is inside the server.R script -> for a shiny app.

A: try renderChart2 instead of renderChart if the code you have works outside the shiny app:
output$Histogram1 <- renderChart2({
Trial <- summaryBy(.~Age+Sex,data=Data,FUN=length)
Histogram1 <- nPlot(x='Age',y='X.length',group='Sex',data=Trial,type='bar',dom='Histogram1')
Histogram1$chart(margin = list(left = 100))
return(Histogram1)
})

A: Can you put the exact error that you are facing?
Also, I had some problems too when I was using type="bar" in nPlot function.
The way it was fixed was by using type="multiBarChart"
Hope that helps!
Edit 1:
Also, as @susacb has suggested, use renderChart2 instead of renderChart and remove the dom parameter.

Mary Trump Guesses Why Donald Trump Ignored Ivanka's Pleas To Stop Capitol Riot
Mary Trump suggested Monday that her uncle, former President Donald Trump, ignored his daughter Ivanka Trump's pleas on Jan. 6 to stop the riot at the U.S. Capitol because he was enjoying the spectacle and hoped it would keep him in power.
The author and psychologist was asked to weigh in on the revelation that Ivanka Trump had repeatedly implored her father to "stop this violence" as a pro-Trump mob laid siege to the U.S. Capitol to try to stop an official count of the Electoral College votes that had given the presidential win to Joe Biden.
"He was getting off on it, and there was no way he was going to stop anything because he was enjoying it too much and he probably wanted it to get worse," Mary Trump said on SiriusXM's "Dean Obeidallah Show."
"You know, the only reason people like Ivanka and others were telling him to stop it is because, in their view, it had gotten out of control. Like they really thought that they could control this monster they'd created and were probably hoping for a bloodless coup."
"He probably thought, one, that it was fun to watch all these people being murderous on his behalf," she added. "But two, that that would be the best way for him to stay in power."
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack recently disclosed that multiple members of Trump's inner circle, including his son Donald Trump Jr. and several Fox News personalities, privately urged him to call off his supporters as they ransacked the Capitol.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), vice chair of the panel, said Sunday that Trump was watching the attack on TV in a dining room near the Oval Office, and "we have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to 'please stop this violence.'"

Sir Charles Lucas
Historian of the Empire
In Sir Charles Lucas, whose death in his seventy-eighth year is announced on another page, the British Imperial Service loses one of its oldest members, and one who was also distinguished as the historian of the British Colonial development.
Charles Prestwood Lucas was born on August 7, 1853, the youngest boy in a large family of boys and girls at Crickhowel, a small town of Breconshire, situated in the Usk Valley, in the midst of the picturesque scenery of the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons. His native hills and valleys were always dear to him, and, throughout his life, walking there or in other romantic districts was his favourite exercise. His people were of considerable local distinction. His father, Dr. Henry Lucas, was the "beloved physician" of the neighbourhood and took a large share in its concerns; his services to his fellow-citizens are commemorated by a monument in the centre of the town. His other was a daughter of Archdeacon Bevan, the leading Churchman of the mid-Victorian period in South Wales. While Charles Lucas was still a small boy his eldest sister married Sir Joseph Bailey, the head of a family which derived its wealth from the Glamorganshire coalfields, who lived at Glanusk Park, close to Crickhowel, and who, after sitting in Parliament for ore than a quarter of a century, was raised to the peerage as Lord Glanusk, and became Lord Lieutenant of Breconshire.
Charles Lucas was a studious and precocious lad. In 1865 he won a scholarship at Winchester, being placed first on a roll which contained the names of several men who gained distinction in after life, such as Lord Parmoor, Sir John Prescott Hewett, Walter Leaf (who renounced the scholarship he had obtained and went to Harrow), Sir Reginald Antrobus, and G. E. Buckle (formerly Editor of The Times). At school he was a steady and successful work, holding for his last two years the position of top boy, though he was never appointed to the post of Prefect of Hall or official head of the school. He could have easily have obtained a Winchester Scholarship at New College, Oxford; but he preferred to try his fortune in open competition, and won an open exhibition at Balliol. There he was up with H. H. Asquith, a year or two his senior, and with Alfred Milner, his contemporary. He duly gained his first classes in Classical Moderations and in Literae Humaniores (1876), and won the Chancellor's Medal for a Latin essay. But he did not stand for a Fellowship, though he was much gratified when in later life All Souls elected him a Fellow, in 1920, because of his great services to Colonial history.
Charles Lucas had determined to enter the Civil Service and shortly after taking his degree he passed first on the Civil Service Examination List, as he had on the Winchester roll, and was appointed to the Colonial Office. His work in life was now marked out from him, and he applied himself to it with the steadiness and thoroughness which distinguished his character. He had always earned the respect of his contemporaries at school and college by his uprightedness and straightforwardness but a certain modest shyness, which never entirely left him, had limited the circle of his friends. In the congenial duties, however, of the office he opened out and developed, and before any years had acquired there a high reputation for knowledge and efficiency, The majesty of the British Empire, the marvellous development of the British Colonial system, fired his imagination. He projected and brought out "An Historical Geography of the British Colonies," the introduction to which and several of the subsequent volumes he wrote himself—a work indispensable to the student of Colonial and Imperial progress. He had a high regard for those if his chiefs, such as Lord Carnarvon and Sir Robert Herbert (for many years Permanent Under-Secretary), who were strongly imbued with Imperial ideals, and he warmly welcomed the appointment of Mr. Chamberlain in 1895 to the post of Colonial Secretary. Under him he rose to a leading position in the office, being appointed in 1897 Assistant Under-Secretary of State and head of the Dominions Department. He threw himself whole-heartedly into his chief's plans, including preferential tariffs, for developing and consolidating the Colonial Empire.
Perhaps this devotion to ideas which were frowned upon and repudiated by the Liberals, who came into power at the close of 1905, cost Lucas the permanent headship of the office, a post for which both his official standing and his unequalled knowledge of the work marked him out. Perhaps the diffidence to which allusion has been made may have been thought to be a drawback. Anyhow, he was twice passed over when a vacancy occurred, once in favour of a distinguished Civil servant from another office, but the second tie in favour of a member of his own Colonial service. Thereupon he retired in 1911, at the age of 58, and in the following year was crated, in recognition of his services, K.C.B. He had been a K.C.M.G. since 1907 and acted as Registrar of the Order.
In retirement, as in office, our Colonial Empire and its history remained his principal interest. He had visited several of the Dominions and had many friends among Dominion statesmen. He fostered these friendships by supporting and frequenting the Royal Colonial Institute, now the Royal Empire Society, of which body he served for several years as chairman. He wrote numerous books on Colonial history:—"The Canadian War of 1812," "A History of Canada," and "The Partition and Colonization of Africa]]"; and in his latter years he was largely engaged in editing a great work, "The Empire at War," explaining the record of the Colonies and Dominions in war, particularly in the Great War of 1914-1918. The volumes appeared between 1920 and 1926, much of the writing being by his own pen.
Sir Charles Lucas wa a man of high ideals in private as in public life, and he did not limit his services to his fellow-men by his official duties. From his earliest years in London he devoted many hours every week to teaching and work at the Working Men's College in Great Ormond-street, the institution which was founded by F. D. Maurice and Tom Hughes. In later years he became for a time principally responsible for its management.
He did not marry; and his house in St. George's square was presided over for many years by two unmarried sisters, the survivor of whom died in 1923. He rejoiced in a large troop of nephews and nieces, grand-nephews and grand-nieces, among whom he was a most popular uncle. His eldest sister, the Dowager Lady Glanusk (grandmother of the present peer), to whom he was greatly attached and who he used to visit frequently at Hay Castle, survives him.

Powder skis got their start by going big and wide — as in water ski big and wide — and have only evolved from there, utilizing such features as camber and reverse camber as well as tip-to-tail rockers and ever-widening waists to help you float over deep snow, rather than blast right through it, much like a surfer floats into a wave. They also aid in precise, pivot-triggered turning and — in many instances — can also handle the hardpack and groomer that are the inevitable consequence of resort skiing. Backcountry models have also been tweaked to allow for easy skin-up ascents, while all-mountain-focused skis have been able to hone their silhouette to make you at home in snow that's four feet or six inches deep. Read on to see our favorite powder skis to pick up today before you head to the mountains.
Nordica's Enforcer 110 has won countless accolades as one of the best powder skis available, but for our money, the Enforcer Pro takes all that the 110 does and cranks it up to 11. As the widest (115 mm) and stiffest ski in the Enforcer line-up, this is a ski made for powder ideal for expert-level skiers who love going fast through the deep stuff, carving long and wide via its 2.15-meter turn radius. A balsa wood core pairs with carbon and two sheets of metal to dampen vibrations on crud while still keeping the ski light. That wide waist joins forces with a 40 percent camber silhouette and a high-rise tip-to-tail rocker to really float over feet of loose pow, and has enough power to pound through less-than-perfect snow. You might have to work to catch an edge on hardpack, but for those deep-powder, ski-till-the-snow-stops-falling days, the Enforcer Pro will outlast your leg muscles, and be ready to run when the rope drops the following morning.
Built with detailed input from pro-skier and Atomic athlete, Chris Benchetler, the Backland Bent Chatler is built to float through powder (naturally) but to also expand other freeski opportunities when exploring the deep stuff. The skis boast a blend of an ABS sidewall with a horizontal rocker that adds 10 percent more surface area in the tip and tail to help you track through loose chop, with less tip deflection to help you carve a sure line. A 40 percent camber partners with a 120 mm waist to float like a magic carpet and turn on a buttery dime, while a 30 percent tip/tail rocker lets you glide and bounce to your powder-loving-heart's desire. A carbon backbone runs the length of the ski to offer stability, with a step-down sidewall to add durability, promising seasons of hard-charging use.
The Super 7 HD's waist measures 116mm, which isn't the narrowest ski in the round-up. And indeed, it offers plenty of float in the deep stuff. But its Air Tip 2.0 3D design makes the ski light and strong, transferring the mass of the boards to the center of your feet to amplify power and stability, and allows you carve the tighter turns needed when rushing through a field of snow-choked aspens. Its central poaulownia wooden core further reduces weight by 30 percent to enhance agility, while sandwiched layers of fiber and metal that carry throughout the vertical sidewalls let you catch an edge when needed.
The Super 7s also employ Rossignol's carbon alloy matrix — a carbon/basalt diagonal weave with linear glass stringers — to generate serious vibration control and titanium-like strength. More powder-specific features include a progressive rocker/camber profile that lets you smear turns and bounce through the loose stuff, with a longer, lower tip and a tapered tail. If you're all about glade skiing, opt for the 172-cm length, while go-anywhere chargers can upgrade to either 180 or 188 cms.
Powder skiing itself is fairly non-gender-specific. But women ski differently than men, and the Armada Tracer 108 takes those variables into account. Inspired by Armada's backcountry cred, it's considerably lighter than most competing products thanks to the use of woods and hardwood laminates that weighs less without sacrificing agility or maneuverability — or introducing any dampness under foot. Armada also uses their Xrystal Mesh tech, an insert that stabilizes the ski for a smooth ride through powder as well as on crud and groomers, with light, strong 1.7 Impact Edges to bite into the hardpack when you're not bouncing off powder clouds. The silhouette nods to freeskiers, with a freeride rocker and elevated tips. Its 108-mm waist also allows for a tighter turn radius than you'd find on other powder skis, with measurements that range from 16 to 18 meters, depending on the ski length you prefer.
The Rustler 11 has been engineered to let freeskiers choose the ideal ski composition for the way they love to ski. Each length comes with a different waist width, from 112 to 116 mms, and if you want less you can shift to the Rustler 10 or 9, which shrinks down to 92 mms at its 164-cm length. But make no mistake, this is an expert-level ski that's designed to handle deep powder, high speeds, and big, wide turns.
An early rise tail lets things get playful in soft snow, and it comes with a rocker-camber-rocker profile that lets you carve on piste and float through the powder. Full sidewalls offer torsional rigidity and constant pressure along the full length of the ski to improve energy transition, stability, control, and greater performance. The Rustler 11 also uses Blizzard's Carbon Flipcore DRT tech, which strengthens the tip and tail with uni-direction carbon fiber to improve stability of the rockered areas and reduce swing weight — which is a lot of gear-speak that translates into one central point: the ski is a lot of fun.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's famed Steep and Deep Ski Clinic, which teaches expert-level skiers how to brave some of the most extreme slopes in the Lower 48, doesn't have an official ski. But if they did, we'd put our money on the Head Core 117 make. The ski uses a koruba wood core to give it a lightweight, playful feel that's both responsive and agile, with a 117-mm waist that's wide enough to float in the powder but narrow enough to put on edge for tight, engineered turning.
It's built for speedy descents and 40-degree pitches, and can power through the (hopefully) powdery landing and run-out after you hit the required air through Jackson Hole's infamous Corbet's Collier. A tip-to-tail rocker delivers playful bounce and control, with sandwiches of koroyd, carbon, and graphene (the thinnest and lightest element known to man, and the strongest material on the planet) to provide torsional stability and lengthen the life of the ski across seasons of abuse.
If you want to earn your turns by skinning up before dropping into the powder, it's often tough to find a ski that won't fight you on the ascent or disappoint when you slide into the deep stuff, in large part because most touring skis come with waists that measure between 60 and 80mms. The Tour1 Wailer flips that script, offering a 112-mm-wide waist to let you float rather than sink without enduring extra weight. That lightness comes from an aspen wood core that's been married to the carbon build to deliver reliable agility and control from powder to crud to days-old hardpack. A lower tip-and-tail rocker increases power and stability, with slight overall camber that provides a bigger sweet spot for pivot turns. Rockwell 48 edges bite into the slopes, while the Austrian World Cup race bases keep things flowing when you point 'em straight down.
All skiers dream of endless powder and constant snowfall, but — if the last few seasons are any indication — Mother Nature doesn't always cater to those ambitions. For days that will deliver powder — as well as hardpack, glades, chutes, and the full gamut of snow conditions, the Confession is your go-to. An early-tip taper lets you steer and point with confidence, while a multi-layer mix of beech and poplar woods in the core keeps things light so you don't have to muscle them through the crud or over bulletproof corduroy, agility that's reinforced by full sidewalls to drive power transmission. They don't boast a lot of camber, but a tip-to-tail rocker makes them plenty playful, with carbon stringers and a titanal to cut chatter and dampen at high speeds.
And its P-TEX 2100 base — a mix of sintered high-density and high-molecular polyethylene — glides like the ski of your dreams while also fending off the inevitable encounters with half-covered roots and rocks.
The first Pon2oon, envisioned by freeskier/daredevil Shane McConkey, looked to water skis for inspiration — and instantly transformed the powder ski industry. Those first models boasted the widest waists that anyone had ever seen, along with tip and tail lifts to help 'em float much like a water skier flies across the surface of the wave. And the 2019 Pon2oon keeps moving the needle toward perfection. This model comes with a massively fat 130-mm waist, which works in consort with the powder rocker silhouette — high and long rises in the tip and tail — to max float in soft, deep, freshly-fallen snow.
The paulownia wood core keeps things lively and flexible, with a solid strength-to-weight ratio, while K2's Triaxial braiding process interlocks strands of fiberglass around the core to provide the torsional stiffness you need to power turns without overtaking the springiness of the wood. Ski lengths vary from 159 to 189 — but even if you opt for the shortest model, make no mistake: these are the big monsters of the powder scene, ready to carve long, wide turns through the deepest of deep. Experts can still find an edge on packed runs, but less experienced skiers will likely leave the Pon2oons in storage until that dream powder day hits.
Our writers spent 50 hours researching the most popular powder skis on the market. Before making their final recommendations, they considered 12 different skis overall, screened options from 15 different brands and manufacturers, read over 5 user reviews (both positive and negative), and tested 7 of the skis themselves. All of this research adds up to recommendations you can trust.

I can appreciate the warning for post bending heavy extrusions, however there should also be some type of guide line stating up to what gauge aluminum could be post bent without having crazing, as we all know the curtain wall industry and metal panel both post bend metal, and if we are ordering aluminum 0.50 you would think that before your priced these flats sheet you would ask what the customer is using it for so that you could provide an explanation stating that you cannot post bend your product that is post painted in lieu of having an un happy customer like Massey Glass, we also work with other manufacturers that coil paint and I guess this unhappy customer will have to review every project and coil paint in lieu of psot painting.
Thank you for your post and I can certainly understand your position and concern. The challenge is there is no definitive thickness of sheet where crazing will necessarily become an issue. Various factors like alloy, temper, paint type, solid color versus mica/metallic, tooling, degree of bend, and material thickness, as well as many other conditions can all be factors. These many variables are one reason why manufacturers don't warrant post formed materials, and Linetec has always communicated finishing after forming as best practice. As you state post forming is common practice in our industry and there are many companies like Linetec providing finished flat sheet or prefinished coil. While we don't often hear of people having issues with post forming, there will always be occurrences where there is failure and discontent as a result. It is for this reason Linetec tries to communicate to the industry as we did in the blog you referenced to make people aware of the inherent dangers with processing materials in specific ways. We certainly appreciate Massey Glass's business and don't want you to be an unhappy customer. We welcome you to contact us at any time if you have questions regarding any of the services we provide. While we will not be able to tell you if a paint finish will craze on a specific thickness of sheet, we may be able to identify a different solution we feel will provide a better end result.


Mission - The Mortgage Broker Toronto needs, with the rates you deserve.
A unique market requires the right attitude.
With a bank, or even with traditional brokers, you'll hear the same old story about who's buying, what's selling, and how to follow the leader. Such cliches lead to a lot of misinformation and missed opportunities.
I'm not your typical broker – which is great, because this isn't a typical city and these aren't typical times.
Why Go With a Broker, Not a Bank?
First, brokers rate shop. This means we're able to negotiate with a wide-range of lenders for the best rates possible. We rate shop everything, from pre-approvals to approvals — and for everyone, from first-time buyers to experienced investors.
Can banks rate shop? Not a chance! They're trapped by their own numbers.
2. We Work for You.
Second, we work for you and get paid by lenders. That's right, there's absolutely no cost for our service. And since brokers aren't tied down to an office or institution, we're available when you need us, where you need us. Brokers do the legwork and heavy lifting, you set the goals and do the dreaming.
Third, mortgages are our entire business. Without doubt, brokers are more knowledgeable, resourceful, and direct than banks. Meet with a bank, and you'll wait…and wait…and wait, only to be bombarded with a heavy-handed sales pitch.
Set yourself free from corporate gobbledygook and high-pressure tactics. Go the broker way — and you won't go back.
There's a solution right for you.
Toronto is a diverse and exceptional city. We have different backgrounds, different outlooks, and different opinions. So why should we settle for cookie-cutter mortgage plans?
If you're interested in purchasing a new mortgage, or considering refinancing or renewing an existing one, I can help.

Narrator Todd and Brooke Tilghman
Runtime 5 Hrs.
Release Date Jun 21, 2021
What does a forty-two-year-old, small-town pastor do when he wins one of the most popular singing competitions in the world? Todd Tilghman and his wife, Brooke, share how decades of unrelenting challenges have taught them a joyful mindset of embracing not only winning The Voice but also 'every little win' along the way. When Todd Tilghman, pastor and father of eight from Meridian, Mississippi, auditioned for The Voice,he counted it as a win simply to sing in front of an audience other than family and church members. Despite no music or vocal training, he not only made it through the blind audition--with all four celebrity judges vying to coach him--he also won the show's entire eighteenth season. Fans were drawn to Todd's tremendous joy on stage, giving them much-needed inspiration during the hard challenges of a global pandemic. In their first book, Todd and Brooke share how their focus on joy and celebrating every little win has helped them to overcome numerous challenges over their twenty-plus-year marriage. From adopting two children from South Korea to fighting for their newborn son's life to pastoring a small congregation through periods of adversity, Todd and Brooke share the lessons they've learned and the strategies that have moved them from fear to faith to ever-present joy.

Sadiq Khan's Climate Change Book Tour Flops mdi-fullscreen
Mark your calendars: Sadiq's writing a book, and it's coming out this May. Titled "Breathe: Tackling The Climate Emergency", Sadiq claims it's a "seven-step guide to winning support for tough action on climate change". So far, however, "winning support" is proving easier said than done. Always a tall ask to get the man who introduced the ULEZ to write a book about popular climate policies…
The book has been available for pre-order on Amazon for a whopping four months, yet according to the site's Best Sellers listing (which includes pre-sales), it's currently the 794,238th most popular book overall. For context, even Matt Hancock's Pandemic Diaries is 1,249th…
Sadiq's also hosting a show at the Southbank Centre on 24th May to promote the book… and that's not selling well either. At the time of going to pixel, 576 of the 1974 seats have been sold. That's about 29% capacity. By comparison, comedian Phil Wang is selling tickets to his "Wang in There, Baby!" gig at the same venue, just a week prior. That's sold 2299 seats so far, with 351 remaining. Over the weekend, Wang came out swinging with 38 tickets snapped up, while Sadiq only managed to shift 8. Still, fewer books sold means fewer pages printed. Might save a few trees, at least…

Precursor To History
Februry 2, 1968
Two city sanitation workers were killed by a mechanical packing unit, a gruesome accident that became the precursor to the Memphis sanitation workers' strike and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s arrival in Memphis in support of the strikers.
Echol Cole, 36, and Robert Walker, 30, were riding on the loaded truck headed to the dump when the compactor activated and crushed them.
The motor started racing and the driver stopped and ran around and mashed that button to stop that thing," Elester Gregory, another member of the crew, told the newspaper. "I didn't know what was happening. It looked to me like one of them almost got out, but he got caught and just fell back in there.

Q: Quick Reference for LLDB? I'm familiar with single- and double-page quick reference "cards" for GDB, and have found them quite useful.
Now that our project is using LLDB I'd like to find an equivalent for that tool, but I've had little luck finding one as quickly as I would have expected.
Does one exist?

A: Perhaps the LLDB to GDB Command Map? It would need to be reformatted if you want it in a reference card style layout, but it's already written like one.

A: I just started learning lldb. So far:
    $lldb a.out [args]
    (lldb)r    -->run
    (lldb)b 22 -->breakpoint at linenumber 22 )
    (lldb)l    -->list your code

OCI cardholders need special permit to take up journalistic activities, says MHA in new rules
Apart from journalistic activities, special permission will also be required for research work and internship with foreign missions.
Mar 05, 2021 · 12:47 pm Updated Mar 05, 2021 · 03:31 pm
Overseas Citizenship of India cardholders will need special permission if they wish to take up any journalistic activities in the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs said on Friday. In the new rules for overseas Indians seeking visas, the home ministry has clubbed journalistic activities with those related to the missionaries and the Tablighi sect.
The OCI cardholder will also need permission from the Foreign Regional Registration Office to take up any research work, internship with foreign missions or if they need to visit areas designated as restricted or protected.
Under the new rules, OCI cardholders can now apply for multiple entry lifelong visa for visiting India for any purpose, apart from the activities mentioned above. But the OCI cardholders who are usually Indian residents will have to intimate the Foreigners Regional Registration Officer or the Registration Officer by email whenever there is a change in their permanent residential address and in their occupation.
The new rules give the OCI cardholders parity with Indian citizens in case of tariffs in domestic air travel and in entry fees for national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, national monuments, historical sites and museums in India. The OCI cardholders will be treated the same as non-resident Indians when it comes to inter-country adoption of Indian children and appearing for all-India competitive exams like NEET, JEE; purchase or sale of immovable properties other than agricultural land or farm house or plantation property and for pursuing professions like doctors, nurses, architect or chartered accountants.
The Tablighi Jamaat had faced immense criticism for allegedly disobeying government guidelines issued in the wake of the coronavirus crisis in March 2020. The congregation held by the Islamic missionary sect was blamed for thousands of coronavirus infections around the country in the initial weeks of the countrywide lockdown.
The event had renewed stigma against Muslims, triggering a wave of business boycotts and hate speech towards them. However, several courts have dismissed charges against the members and expressed concern about media coverage on the matter.
In September, the Bombay HC quashed first information reports against a few members of the Tablighi Jamaat, saying that there was no evidence to show they indulged in any act, which was likely to spread the infection. In another judgement in August, the High Court said that the foreigners were made "scapegoats" and that the action against them was an "indirect warning to Indian Muslims" after the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Fan aks Ileana D'Cruz about her relationship status and this is what she had to say
July 1, 2020 Bollywood Hungama News Network Masala 0
After a long time, Ileana D'Cruz decided to have an Ask Me Anything session on Instagram. On Tuesday, the actress happily answered several questions asked by her fans. One fan even asked her about her personal life and asked about her relationship status. However, the actress did not refrain from answering the question, albeit in her own style.
"Are you single or in a relationship?," the fan asked. Responding to the question, Ileana wrote, "Well, aren't we nosey?". She also used an image of an animal's nose and mouth.
Ileana was earlier in a relationship with an Australian photographer Andrew Kneebone. However, they called it quits last year after dating for several years. While the actress has not officially spoken about it, the two have unfollowed each other on social media and the actress has also deleted all the pictures with Andrew.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ileana D'Cruz will next be seen in the film The Big Bull opposite Abhishek Bachchan. On Monday, it was announced that the film will be releasing directly on Disney+ Hotstar.

Q: very strange duplicate entry error I am saving data repeatedly with code. The first time I run it it doesn't complain. The second time it says Duplicate entry '$id' for key 'PRIMARY'. I am echoing $id value and they are different everytime. The table is 5min old and I guess it can't be corrupted. Is my approach wrong?
function insertData($conn,$data){
    $id=$data['id'];
    $name=$data['name'];
    $fp=$data['first_price'];
    $sp=$data['second_price'];
    echo "$id
";
    echo "$name
";
    echo "$fp
";
    echo "$sp
";
    $query = 'INSERT INTO names VALUES("$id", "$name", "$fp", "$fp")';
    $result = $conn->query($query);
    if (!$result){
        echo "nothing saved, sorry $conn->error";
    }
}

table structure:
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field        | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id           | varchar(15)  | NO   | PRI | NULL    |       |
| name         | varchar(150) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| first_price  | varchar(10)  | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| second_price | varchar(10)  | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

A: You're trying to insert the string literals $id etc into the table because you're using single quotes.
Here's an example that would work:
$query = "INSERT INTO names VALUES('$id', '$name', '$fp', '$fp')";

Now generally speaking you shouldn't need to insert a primary key value, just use null and it will auto increment if your table is set up that way. In your case it's not (auto_increment is not listed under "extra" for the primary key). Consider adding it.
I'll assume that the ->query() is from the PDO library, so to avoid SQL injection you should use parameter binding and your adjusted code would look like this:
$query = 'INSERT INTO names VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?)';
$stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute(array($id, $name, $fp, $fp));

... or if you're using mysqli rather than PDO:
$query = 'INSERT INTO names VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?)';
$stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->bind_param('isdd', $id, $name, $fp, $fp);
$stmt->execute();

A: Your query is literally inserting the string $id as you're using single quotes for your query string. Do this instead:
$query = "INSERT INTO names VALUES('$id', '$name', '$fp', '$fp')";

Just so you know the reasoning behind it, using single quotes for a string makes it so that variables are ignored.


Recent research published by the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA)indicates 87 percent of tour operators working in the adventure travel industry currently work with travel agents (also known as travel advisors). This population of travel-related professionals is a valuable asset to the industry, with 63 percent of tour operators experiencing growth through the agent channel.
An AdventureELEVATE session will invite both travel agents and tour operators to discuss ways the two parties can empower each other.
The research report, Travel Leaders Companion Survey Digest, notes tour operators value the fact travel agents offer a new sales channel, distribution through a trusted network, access to new clients in desired markets, and a personal touch to the client relationship. And it's not just tour operators that find value in this partnership: Research conducted by Travel Leaders Network in 2018 indicated 86 percent of travel agent respondents experienced growth in their adventure travel sales over the past three years.
Despite the natural fit for travel agents within the adventure travel industry, this demographic makes up only 10 percent of the ATTA's membership.
Recognizing the importance of travel agents within the adventure travel context, the ATTA will host a session during AdventureELEVATE 10-12 June 2019 in Lake George, New York, specifically geared toward advisors. Adventure Accelerator: Travel Advisors in Adventure will be a small group discussion designed to generate concrete ideas on how advisors can succeed within the adventure travel arena.
"A healthy tourism industry includes a positive influx of well-qualified, trained travel advisors who also prosper from the growing demand for international travel. My goal for this session will be to encourage positive and provocative dialogue focused on actionable outcomes, tackling the biggest issues facing the tourism industry today, and travel agents' role as thought leaders and influencers," said Deirdre Campbell, managing director for Canada at Beattie Tartan and the session's facilitator.
Introduced during Adventure Travel World Summit 2018, Adventure Accelerators are designed to get delegates thinking about big-picture challenges with an eye toward developing achievable goals. Limited to 20 delegates, this session empowers travel agents and tour operators to discuss how they can more cohesively communicate and work with each other, and both groups will be encouraged to brainstorm ways to invite travel agents to become more involved in the adventure travel sector.
"With the ATTA's research indicating the growing demand for increased personalization and visitors seeking better service and destination expertise, and with concerns around safety, travel agents are well poised to lead in the development of a global tourism industry that drives positive change," Campbell said.
Adventure Accelerator: Travel Advisors in Adventure is intended for travel advisors and those who work closely with them. AdventureELEVATE delegates not attending this particular discussion will have ample opportunity to network with travel agents and other delegates throughout the event.


Yes, they have $15 tickets.
Now that soccer is part of our Nashville sports landscape, it is good to know that you can score a ticket for a 2018 Nashville SC game for as little as $15 — or even less, if you opt for season tickets or a partial season package.
I was thrilled to learn about this low-priced option because I had assumed tickets would cost a lot more. And even better news was the fact that there are about 1,500 of these tickets for every home game, compared to the $26-$61 reserved seats.
"There is really not a bad place to be in the stadium," Nashville SC spokesman Austin Gwin said. "(The general admission ticket) is definitely an affordable option for people who want to get a taste of soccer. "
The setup is just like it is at Nashville Sounds games at the park, with general admission fans welcome to watch the games from lots of unofficial seating on the berm, or near the berm or in colorful Adirondack chairs, or at the bar, or on big upholstered couches and other outdoor furniture scattered around the Band Box area.
"It is like a big party," Gwin said. "If you like the Predators games, you'll love our games. There are chants and drums at our games, and it is a great family atmosphere. This season is a great time to get on board," he added.
And if you want even cheaper tickets, the full season ticket package and a pro-rated flex season package (with five games or more) can whittle the per-game price down to $13.
There are 13 home games remaining in this inaugural soccer season, which runs through Oct. 13. The schedule includes three games this month at First Tennessee Park and the big July 7 game that will take place at Nissan Stadium, with $20 general admission lower bowl seats, and a postgame fireworks show.
The team is on a winning streak now, with an 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions dating back to April 14 (their last loss). The overall record is 6 wins, 2 losses and 5 draws.
There are some season tickets still available, but general admission is a great way to get to see a hometown soccer game this summer at a good price.
Ms. Cheap says you can circumvent the Ticketmaster fees if you purchase day-of-game tickets at the First Tennessee Park box office, but the disadvantage is that the game could be sold out. Plus, if you buy at the gate, you will not receive the pregame "need to know" email from the team that tells its online ticketed fans about parking and other game details.
According to the team, there are about 6,000 free and paid parking spaces within a half-mile walk of First Tennessee Park, including free parking in some state parking lots on the west side of James Robertson Parkway. There is also a paid parking garage accommodating 1,000 vehicles on Harrison Street between Fifth Avenue North and Fourth Avenue North. For more parking options, see www.parkitdowntown.com.
Another good thing to know, if you want to watch the games but not in person, there are about 40 or so "Pub Partners," pubs, bars and restaurants that show the Nashville SC games on their TVs. To see the list of partners, go to www.nashvillesc.com.
The website is www.nashvillesc.com, or to speak with a ticket rep, call 615-457-8200.
All of these games are at 7:30 p.m.

Housing costs force millions to stay at home with parents
The crippling cost of housing has left nearly two million working young adults in England stuck living with their parents, according to Shelter, which is calling for urgent action to help the "clipped wing generation" fly the nest.
A survey by the charity published today found nearly half of young people questioned did so because they cannot afford to rent or buy their own property, as it emerged that in some areas of Yorkshire almost a third of 20 to 34-year-olds are still living at home with parents.
Shelter claimed its analysis of the Census data uncovered several areas where the proportion of adults living with their parents is much higher, such as Castle Point in Essex where 45 per cent of young working adults still live in the home they grew up in.
In Yorkshire and the Humber, 178,975 people in the age group still live with the parents, which equates to 24 per cent. Ryedale and Craven were the worst areas, with 32 per cent of working 20 to 34-year-olds still living with their parents. East Riding was third, with 31 per cent of young people still at home.
Shelter's chief executive Campbell Robb said: "The 'clipped wing generation' are finding themselves with no choice but to remain living with mum and dad well into adulthood, as they struggle to find a home of their own. Rather than pumping more money into schemes like Help to Buy, we need bolder action to meet the demand for affordable homes and not inflate prices further.
"From helping small local builders find the finance they need, to investing in a new generation of part rent, part buy homes, the solutions to our housing shortage are there for the taking. Politicians of all parties must now put stable homes for the next generation at the top of the agenda."
Housing Minister Brandon Lewis claimed the Government's Help to Buy scheme had ensured more than 35,000 people have been able to get on the property ladder with a smaller deposit. Since 2010, nearly 200,000 new affordable homes have been built and nearly £1 billion invested in the Build to Rent scheme to construct new homes specifically for private rent.

Q: Determine if a character is alphabetic Having problems with this.
Let's say I have a parameter composed of a single character and I only want to accept alphabetic characters. How will I determine that the parameter passed is a member of the latin alphabet (a–z)?
By the way Im using PHP Kohana 3.
Thanks.

A: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-alpha.php
<?php
    $ch = 'a';
    if (ctype_alpha($ch)) {
        // Accept
    } else {
        // Reject
    }

This also takes locale into account if you set it correctly.
EDIT: To be complete, other posters here seem to think that you need to ensure the parameter is a single character, or else the parameter is invalid. To check the length of a string, you can use strlen(). If strlen() returns any non-1 number, then you can reject the parameter, too.
As it stands, your question at the time of answering, conveys that you have a single character parameter somewhere and you want to check that it is alphabetical. I have provided a general purpose solution that does this, and is locale friendly too.

A: preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z]$/', $var_vhar);

Method will return int value: for no match returns 0 and for matches returns 1.

A: Use the following guard clause at the top of your method:
if (!preg_match("/^[a-z]$/", $param)) {
    // throw an Exception...
}

If you want to allow upper case letters too, change the regular expression accordingly:
if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]$/", $param)) {
    // throw an Exception...
}

Another way to support case insensitivity is to use the /i case insensitivity modifier:
if (!preg_match("/^[a-z]$/i", $param)) {
    // throw an Exception...
}

A: I'd use ctype, as Nick suggested,since it is not only faster than regex, it is even faster than most of the string functions built into PHP. But you also need to make sure it is a single character:
if (ctype_alpha($ch) && strlen($ch) == 1) {
    // Accept
} else {
    // Reject
}

A: You can't use [a-zA-Z] for Unicode.
here are the example working with Unicode,
if ( preg_match('/^\p{L}+$/u', 'my text') ) {
    echo 'match';
} else {
    echo 'not match';
}

A: This will help hopefully.This a simple function in php called ctype_alpha
$mystring = 'a'
if (ctype_alpha($mystring))
{
    //Then do the code here.
}

A: You can try:
preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z]$/',$input_char);

The return value of the above function is true if the $input_char contains a single alphabet, else it is false. You can suitably make use of return value.

Q: Primefaces Dialog framework open dialog from  Salam,
I'm trying to show a notification in a dialog dynamically from a poll component but it doesn't seem to work !!
<p:poll interval="15" listener="#{notificationBean.showNotification}" />

the action works well when i use it with a commandButton.
<p:commandButton value="View" icon="ui-icon-extlink" actionListener="#{notificationBean.showNotification}" />

This is my actionListener's code:
    public void showNotification() {
        System.out.println("showNotification");
        Map<String,Object> options = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        options.put("resizable", false);
        RequestContext.getCurrentInstance()
            .openDialog("notifications/notify", options, null);
    }

I'm working with PF 6.0
Can't figure out what happens :(

A: Try to add following to your p:poll oncomplete="PF('DIALOG_WIDGETVAR').show()"/> or oncomplete="PF('DIALOG_WIDGETVAR').loadContents()"/>
Maybe you also have to add update within <p:poll> so content of dialog is updated.

Q: How do I initialize a vector member of a struct? Suppose I have a struct with a member that is a vector. In the constructor, I want to just set it to NULL. But then later I want to be able to push_back things to it. How do I initialize the vector after it's NULL?
struct structName {
    vector<int> vec;
    structName() {
        vec = NULL
    }
    void set(int);
}

void structName::set(int n) {
    // What do I put here?
    vec.push_back(n);
}

Thanks for the help!

A: It's already initialized via the default constructor and, if you need to call a different constructor, use an initialization list.
Remember, this is C++, not Java/C#/whatever.  It makes no sense for an object to be null (ok, it doesn't in those languages either, but read on).  It can't happen. In Java and languages like it you have variables which are references to objects and those references (not objects!) may or may not be null.
That is not the case in C++.  There is a strict delineation between objects and pointers which refer to them (and pointers, or course, can be null or refer to an invalid memory location).

A: The default constructor for the vector will set it to its simplest state: no contents. So just leave it alone.

A: Initializing a vector to NULL doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you're getting confused with pointers. If you want to initialize your vector to the empty vector then that happens automatically. Like this in other words
struct structName {
    vector<int> vec;
    structName() {
    }
    void set(int);
}

void structName::set(int n) {
    vec.push_back(n);
}

A: I think you be thinking of C++ objects like you would in Java. DON'T They are totally different beasts.
In C++, objects aren't references as in Java, thus, nulling them out doesn't make sense. In fact trying vec = NULL is an error as NULL is really just 0.
Instead just remove the line vec = NULL and it'll work as is. The vector will be default constructed as empty and you don't have to do any other initialization.

SUU basketball: Robinson simply didn't win enough
rmiller4@thespectrum.com
Nick Robinson had his fans; he just didn't have enough wins.
North Dakota coach Brian Jones, following his team's victory over Southern Utah in the first round of the Big Sky tournament, talked about running into Robinson and telling him how impressed he was with how his team competes and battles regardless of its record.
"I asked him, 'What do you do?'" Jones said.
But it's that record, a four-year record of 28-90, that caused Southern Utah athletic director Jason Butikofer to remove Robinson as head basketball coach on Wednesday.
Butikofer didn't comment much on why he decided to dismiss Robinson, only saying it was a "rough, rough morning," but it's not hard to find the reason — Robinson simply didn't win enough.
Butikofer has said numerous times about how athletics can help raise the profile of the university and has singled out men's basketball as a program that can really make a mark on the national stage.
"If we can ascend to the NCAA Tournament and win a game in the NCAA Tournament, it could do big things for this institution, both the athletic department and the institution as a whole," Butikofer told The Spectrum and Daily News last year. "You'll see enrollment increase. You'll see the profile of students, both athletically and academically, increase. You'll see alumni participation increase. There's not a better platform to gain that national or regional notoriety."
The closest Robinson got to an NCAA Tournament bid was a quarterfinals loss in the Big Sky Championships in 2013. And after Southern Utah finished in a tie for last place in the conference this season, it didn't appear like things were going to be getting better. In Butikofer's mind, it was time for a change.
Butikofer said he will try to work quickly to find a new coach but will take the time to find the right fit.
SUU fans have been waiting for a winner for some time now. It's been nearly a decade since the Thunderbirds had a winning season. The last one came in 2006-07 when SUU finished 16-14, the last season under Bill Evans. Evans, in an odd coincidence, won the Big Sky Coach of the Year award for his efforts at Idaho State, the same morning Robinson was fired.
Robinson, like Roger Reid and Evans before him, had a tough job. Recruiting to Cedar City with five other Division I schools in the state has always proved a challenge. If you can't recruit, it's hard to compete, and that's what makes what Evans accomplished in 2001 — SUU basketball's crowning achievement of making the Big Dance — so impressive.
But even with the challenges of recruiting and the lack of a big budget, it's hard to say Robinson's teams overachieved. After closing the 2014-15 season by winning five of their last eight games, it looked like the T-Birds were on an upswing. The Big Sky coaches even bought in, picking SUU to finish sixth in the conference. A fact that made this year's team that much more disappointing.
It's a testament to Robinson, though, that his team never did quit on the season. Even when the T-Birds hit strings of constant blowouts, apathy never permeated out of the locker room. The players never got used to losing, even if it that was all they knew for weeks at a time.
And, surprisingly, they were often in good spirits. Weekly press conferences brought smiles, jokes and confidence that they can still turn it around. Unfortunately for Robinson's sake, that never happened.
Even with all the struggles on the court, Robinson was still a well-liked member of the Southern Utah and Cedar City community. He was by most accounts a stand up guy, who wanted to do well, not just for himself but for the community. Because of those traits it will be hard for some people to see him go.
The Southern Utah Thunderbirds' official Facebook account was filled with comments about how much the coach will be missed.
David Morris said, "You will be missed Coach! Sad day in SUU history."
Easton Pederson said, "Too bad... Not a better guy out there than Coach Robinson!"
And Cindy Harris said, "So sorry to hear this news. Good luck coach, there's not a better person out there!"
But in the sports world, it comes down to wins and losses, and Robinson just didn't have enough victories.

Britain's Finance Minister Philip Hammond said on Tuesday that time was running out to secure a Brexit deal and confirmed that the Bank of England's Governor Mark Carney had agreed to stay to help the country through "a turbulent period" for its economy.
Hammond said the government was devoting all its efforts to securing a deal on a new relationship with the European Union before Britain leaves the bloc in March next year but admitted the clock was ticking, Reuters reported.
Hammond also confirmed that Carney, who said last week he was prepared to stay in his job beyond next June when his term was due to end, had agreed to remain until 2020.
"I have been discussing with the governor his ability to be able to serve a little longer in his post in order to ensure continuity through what could be quite a turbulent period for our economy in the early summer of 2019," Hammond said.
The United Kingdom will leave the EU on March 29, but as yet no full exit deal has been agreed to and many lawmakers in Prime Minister Theresa May's own party object to her own so-called Chequers proposals.
"It will also be the first time the leaders will discuss together the UK government's white paper which put forward a series of credible and serious proposals," he told reporters.
The Chequers proposals envisage continued close trade ties with the EU after Brexit.
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, has criticized aspects of May's blueprint but said on Monday he believed a Brexit deal was possible "within six or eight weeks," in comments that lifted the pound currency against the euro and the dollar.

Suspiria is sure to take your breath away
Brittany Medellin
Completely disturbing, unsettling, horrific, and traumatizing, Luca Guadagnino's take on the classic Suspiria film originally directed by Dario Argento is an absolute must-see.
Guadagnino's remake managed to maintain a classic-esque vibe with its fuzzy, almost taste-less colors and distant camera shots.
The colors and shots however, in no way take away from the effect and its breath-taking scenes.
The movie is based in Germany at a dance company led by Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton) and her fellow witches who are desperate to save their leader. Their job is to find a young girl as a channel to do so and it is up to Blanc to ensure she is prepared to do so.
COURTESY IMBD.COM
Dakota Johnson stars as "Susie Bannion" in horror/mystery film "Suspiria", directed by Luca Guadagnino
Along comes Susie Bannon (Dakota Johnson) from Ohio and gives them the weapon to do just that… or so they think.
Susie is almost immediately put to the test and performs a solo where every one of her moves causes the twisting, breaking, distortion, and mangling of a dance student, Olga (Elena Fokina) who was attempting to flee from the academy's grasp.
Olga's mutilation creates the most unforgettable scene (if one has enough guts to keep their eyes on the screen the entire time) and leaves the rest of the movie open to all kinds of horrific possibilities.
Despite its horror, one cannot deny the haunting beauty in every move and breathe the dancers take and excitingly wait for the next one. With the brilliance of every dance, it is nearly impossible to ignore the soundtrack created by Radiohead's Thom Yorke that goes along with it.
The movie's intentions would not be fully realized without Yorke's chilling vocals featuring sound bites from the film itself.
Similarly, Yorke's album hardly carries the same weight without Guadagnino's vision.
Every interaction, conversation, movement, and stare is meaningful and the less one pays attention, the more difficult it is to follow.Viewers are left questioning when Susie realized her significance, who she turned into, as well as the importance of the Dr. Josef Klemperer (also played by Swinton).
The holes in the movie create a brain-wrecking experience but its mystery and horror make it worthwhile for any suitable audience.
The film draws parallels to movies such as Inception where viewers are left wanting to watch Suspiria over and over again to gain further insight on all aspects of the movie.Brilliant, terrifying, and absolutely outstanding, the film breaks standards of modern horror, giving it a rate of 4.5/5.

The Bürglen (915 m) is the highest mountain of the Albis, a wooded range stretching west of Lake Zurich in the Swiss canton of Zurich. It is located between Hausen am Albis and the valley of the Sihl.

The mountain is entirely traversed by a trail running along the crest. South of the Bürglen is the slightly lower summit of the Albishorn (909 m), where there is a panoramic restaurant.

A massive water main break in Mount Hope this morning has flooded a portion of Jerome Avenue and surrounding side streets, around 177th Street, NBC is reporting.
Check out the video at the link--we're not talking about a little leak here--the streets are completely washed out and water is practically covering some parked cars.
Because of the break, the MTA says riders should expect delays on the 4 line, and there will be no service in both directions between the 167th Street Station and the Bedford Park Boulevard-Lehman College Station. Delays are also posted for the BX1, BX2, BX3, BX18, BX32, BX36, BX40, BX42 and BXM4 buses.
We'll keep you updated as we hear more.
I live at Grand Concourse and 162nd St. This morning we had NO water. This isn't just street flooding and traffic delays, this is no toilets flushing, no showers, no running water.
Many restaurants in the Jerome neiborhood lost a lot of business. Foodstuff were thrown away due to contamination as a result of water in the basement. The street was close and the gasline was turned off by ConEd. I hope these small businesses will be compensated in no time.

Transportation innovations could slash emissions
Researchers say the future of transportation will be shaped by three "revolutions" – vehicle electrification, driverless cars and ride-sharing – that could result in fewer automobiles on the road, less fossil fuels extracted from the Earth and less pollution in the air. While the environmental gains may seem self-evident, the health benefits are difficult to quantify.
Now for the first time, a Cornell-led team has used transdisciplinary systems modeling to calculate those health benefits in the United States. By 2050, these innovations could potentially slash petroleum consumption by 50% and carbon dioxide emissions by 75% while simultaneously preventing 5,500 premature deaths, with an annual savings of $58 billion.
