Echocardiogram is mostly refered as transthoracic echocardiogram. This noninvasive ultrasound of the chest uses sound waves to produce detailed images of heart and how it functions. A cardiologist can then determine whether all parts of the heart wall and heart valves are contributing normally to the heart as pumping activity. An echocardiogram can be used as part of a stress test. There are several other types of echocardiograms and those are: Transesophageal Echocardiogram In Transesophageal Echocardiogram or Transesophageal Ultrasound, a flexible tube is guided down the throat and produces images of heart from inside the body. This test shows clearer pictures of the heart, since the probe is located closer to the heart and the lungs and bones dont block the sound waves. This test also shows images from the back of the heart, which is often unable to be seen with a regular echocardiogram. A sedative and anesthetic applied to the throat are used to make patient comfortable during this test. Stress Echocardiogram Similar to a regular echocardiogram, this test looks at images of the heart before and during exercise, or stress, from riding a stationary bike or walking on a treadmill. For people who cannot comfortably exercise, a drug called Dobutamine can be given to simulate the effects of exercise. A stress echocardiogram measures the blood flow to various areas of the heart and can detect decreased blood flow due to plaque buildup in the arteries. International Journal of Cardiovascular Research emerges as a best indexed journal with impact factor compared to other competitive journals focusing on echocardiogram by bringing up the recent research to global scientific community through its publications. The papers submitted are undergone through perfect plagiarism checks, later peer reviewed by the expert group and published after through revisions.

Q: How to add a timer to a dynamic created labels in a winform C#? I have a small app that creates dynamically a panel that includes a table layout panel where there is a list box and a label. The question is how I'm gonna assign a timer in every label created dynamically and also how I'm gonna start the timer from 00:00? I have tried this code but only adds the timer to the last label in the last panel created:
public Form1() {
    InitializeComponent();
    p = new Panel();
    p.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(360, 500);
    p.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
    p.Name = "panel";
    tpanel = new TableLayoutPanel();
    tpanel.Name = "tablepanel";
    ListBox lb = new ListBox();
    tpanel.Controls.Add(lb = new ListBox() {
        Text = "qtylistBox2"
    }, 1, 3);
    Label l6 = new Label();
    tpanel.Controls.Add(l6 = new Label() {
        Text = "0"
    }, 2, 1)
    //here is the timer that i created
    timer1.Interval = 1000;
    timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
    timer1.Enabled = true;
    public void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        l6.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("mm\\:ss");
    }
...
}

A: You can use this:
private Dictionary<Timer, DateTime> Timers = new Dictionary<Timer, DateTime>();

public Form1()
{
  InitializeComponent();

  var p = new Panel();
  p.Size = new Size(360, 500);
  p.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
  p.Name = "panel";
  Controls.Add(p);

  var tpanel = new TableLayoutPanel();
  tpanel.Name = "tablepanel";
  tpanel.Controls.Add(new ListBox() { Text = "qtylistBox2" }, 1, 3);
  p.Controls.Add(tpanel);

  Action<string, int, int> createLabel = (text, x, y) =>
  {
    var label = new Label();
    label.Text = text;
    tpanel.Controls.Add(label, x, y);
    var timer = new Timer();
    timer.Interval = 1000;
    timer.Tick += (sender, e) =>
    {
      label.Text = DateTime.Now.Subtract(Timers[sender as Timer]).ToString("mm\\:ss");
    };
    Timers.Add(timer, DateTime.Now);
  };

  // create one label
  createLabel("0", 2, 1);

  // create other label
  // createLabel("", 0, 0);

  foreach ( var item in Timers )
    item.Key.Enabled = true;
}

1) Sales were up by 23% for apartments priced at $1M-$4M, the market segment referred to as "affordable luxury". On the contrary, the number of sales for apartments $10M+ fell by 25%.
2) The number of sales rose 14% from the 3Q2016, but were still 4.3% below the same quarter in 2015.
3) During the 3Q2017, the median apartment price of $1.15M was down 3.6% from the 2Q2017, but up by almost 11% from the 3Q2016 (price per square foot declined 11.5%, to $1,678, while the average sales price dropped 1.3% to $2.0M).
4) The market shift produced a 24% decline in the median price of new development condominium sales in the 3Q2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. New development legacy contracts (2014/2015) for ultra-luxury apartments have closed and the market is now returning to a more stable level of pricing.
5) New development closings for the quarter were dominated by sales at buildings like 389 East 89th Street in Yorkville; 49 condos closed with a median price of $1.84M or $1,631/sf.
6) The median condo price in the 3Q2017 was $1.7M, up 4.6% from the 3Q last year, but down 4.5% from the 2Q2017.
7) The demand for lower priced apartments has driven up the prices of co-ops (which typically sell at a discount to prices of similar condominiums); median co-op price increased to $835K, up 6% from the 3Q2016 and up 1.2% from the 2Q2017.
1) After a strong performance during the first four months of the year, sales of both luxury co-ops and condos priced at $5M+ are experiencing a drastic slow down.
2) Sales fell by 41% for the period of May through August 8th in 2017 vs. the same period in the prior year.
3) Uptown co-op sales for $5M+ fell more sharply than similar priced condominium sales.
4) On Central Park West, contracts on co-ops priced at $5M+ totaled only two units since May, compared with eight during the same period last year and 14 in 2014.
5) On the Upper East Side, there were 11 comparable sales, compared with 20 last-year and 29 in 2014.
1) The number of resales in the three-month period ending 9/30/2017 increased 7.3% to 2,908 compared to the same period in the prior year (the largest quarterly sales total in two years).
2) The spike in sales reflected in part an average discount of 6.8% off the asking price (the second most since 2010). Although sales volume was up for the quarter, the average time to sell an apartment rose 27.8% to 101 days compared to the same period last year.
3) Despite the price discounts, the resale median price was up 1.9% to $995K, reflecting more activity in higher-end transactions.
4) There were also fewer bidding wars. Of all closed sales in the 3Q2017, 13% were above the listing price, down from 18% a year earlier.
5) The data demonstrates that sellers are finally in tune with the realities of the market and have adjusted from "aspirational pricing" to meet both buyer demand and transact deals.
6) In addition, there was a rise in activity at the lower end of the market. Sales of resale co-ops increased 5% to 2,098 from a year earlier; of those transactions, 84% were for apartments priced under $2M.
1) New development sales surged 69.5% to 461 units in the 3Q2017, but prices declined all around; the median sales price decreased 23% to $2.797M; average sales price declined 26.8% to $4.256M; and price per square foot fell 18.3% to $2,482.
2) The market metrics reflect fewer closings at high priced new buildings like 432 Park Avenue, compared to last year and a general pull back in demand in the ultra-luxury market for large apartments priced at $10M+ (fell 42% from 43 to 25 compared to the same period last year).
3) The sweet spot in new development is in the $1M-$4M price range ($1,800-$2,200/sf), where the market remains relatively healthy and well executed projects in desirable locations are still experiencing a good velocity of sales.
4) Developers with inventory in the $5M-$10M price range are feeling the pressure; there is an oversupply and a much narrower buyer pool at this price segment.
5) There are approximately 2,800 new development condo units coming onto to market in 2017 (vs. original projection of 5,000+ units). The Upper East Side, Midtown West and the Financial District are the top three neighborhoods for new development condo inventory; approximately one-half of all new construction pipeline is designated for Downtown.
6) Steiner East Village ($2,100/sf), Vitre ($1,800/sf) on the Upper East Side, and One Manhattan Square ($2,200/sf) on the Lower East Side are all examples of new development condo projects that fall into the "affordable luxury" market category which is in high demand.
7) Despite the decline in the ultra-luxury market, there are still a number of very ambitious projects coming on-line, including Central Park Tower ($7,024/sf), 220 Central Park South ($8,989/sf) and 520 Park Avenue ($6,084/sf).
1) Queens had a total of four condo buildings in the top 10 selling residential buildings in NYC for the 3Q2017. In general, Queens is drawing an increasing number of value buyers priced out of both Manhattan and Brooklyn.
2) The number of luxury sales in Queens rose to 429 in the 3Q2017, a 12.6% increase vs. the same period in the prior year. The median sale price (luxury segment) rose 5.9% to $1.25M, while the average sales price rose 5.8% to $1.35M.
3) The Grand at Skyview Parc, located at 131-03 40th Road in Flushing, Queens takes the #1 spot; 92 units sold in the 3Q2017 with a median sales price of $799,569 or about $1,200/sf.
4) 389 East 89th Street in Manhattan took the #2 spot, with a total of 49 units sold and a median sales price of $1,840,691 or about $1,631/sf. This new development is one of several new luxury towers that is sparking a renaissance of the Yorkville neighborhood on the Upper East Side.
5) 550 Vanderbilt (#7) and Austin Nichols House (#6), are two top selling Brooklyn properties which also made the top 10 list. 550 Vanderbilt (Prospect Heights) is averaging about $1,500/sf and Austin Nichols House (North Williamsburg) about $1,600/sf.
1) Over the past several years, a lot of new development condo product has been added to the North and Northwest submarkets of Brooklyn. The higher prices associated with these new developments has had a ripple effect across the entire borough.
2) New development condo sales accounted for 31.5% of all Brooklyn condo sales during the 3Q2017 vs. 13.5% in the 3Q last year.
3) The median price of new condos reached $915K, increasing 17.5% year-over-year; 283 new condos were sold in the 3Q2017, increasing 148% from the same period last year.
4) For the 3Q2017, the median sales price (all property types) in the borough is $790K and the average sales price is $981,623, based on 2,914 sales.
5) The top 10% of the most expensive sales in the 3Q had a median price of $2.5M, unchanged from the same period last year. The average price was down 6.7% year-over-year to $2.89M and the average number of luxury sales at 271, was 3.9% less than the 3Q2016; evidence of a slight cool down in the luxury segment of the new development market ($3.0M-$3.5M+).
6) New development condo projects in Brooklyn with strong sales activity include The Standish, Austin Nichols House, 550 Vanderbilt, The Baltic, The Hendrik, The Vue and 251 First Street.
7) The penthouse at the Standish at 171 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights has set a record for Brooklyn's most expensive condo sale at $15.5M or $2,677/sf. The six-bedroom residence measures 6,218 square feet (with a 3,366 square foot private terrace).
1) Luxury Upper East Side pre-war co-ops are losing out the battle to luxury new development condo properties. There has been a seismic shift in demand for Downtown, condo ownership and contemporary living in buildings with the latest technology and hotel style amenities.
2) Between the first six months of 2012 and the first six months of 2017, the number of Manhattan co-op contracts signed at $4M+ increased 21% to 153, while condo contracts at the same price point more than doubled during the same period, reaching 466 in the first six months of 2017.
3) Downtown is seeing an increase in condo buying activity. There were 184 contracts signed from 1/1 to 8/4 in 2017, at $5M+, a 16% increase from 159 during the same period in 2014. Over this time period, the city has seen a large influx of new luxury developments come to market in West Chelsea, the Flatiron District/NoMad, the West Village, Soho/NoLita, Tribeca, and FiDi.
4) With the arrival of the Second Avenue subway (Q Line), Yorkville is experiencing a major development boom with a number of new luxury condo properties, including 180 East 88th Street ($2,900/sf), the Kent ($2,250/sf) and Citizen 360 ($1,926/sf). In general, there is a potential value play for those buyers willing to go to the eastern section of the Upper East Side. Over the past 12 months, the average price per square foot on sold new development units west of Third Avenue was $2,949 vs. $1,855 for sold apartments east of Third Avenue.
5) The number of luxury co-op sales ($5M+) peaked in the first half of 2014 and remained steady each year through the first half of 2017 (between 50 and 60), but the dollar volume has dropped by about 33% from $900M to $600M over the same period.
1) Developer, Bruce Eichner comments on his definition of luxury, the rise of the Flatiron District and Downtown, the increase in number of $20M+ penthouse style apartments, and why New York is always going to be a leader when it comes to real estate values.
1) The Hamptons market mirrors the Manhattan market with softness in the luxury segment and price discounts required to transact deals.
2) Over the three- month period from July to September, the median sales price of luxury Hamptons homes, which comprise the top 10% of sales, dropped 11% year-over-year to $5.56M, while the average price was down 11.6% to $7.55M.
3) There were 322 active listings during the 3Q2017, a 22.4% increase from a year ago. As a result, luxury homeowners took an average 15% discount off of their asking price to sell, compared to 10% in the third quarter of 2016.
4) The Hamptons market saw more buying activity in the $1M-$5M price segment ("Hamptons Middle"). While the number of homes priced $5M-$10M fell 22.5% year-over-year, the number of sales under $5M increased 6.7%.
5) Overall, sales activity remained consistent with the 3Q2016. The number of homes sold for at least $3.3M (the threshold for the luxury segment) was 52, unchanged from the same period last year. There were 10 homes sold for at least $10M, compared to 11 sales during the same period last year.
1) Hurricane Irma had a negative impact on residential sales in South Florida during the 3Q2017.
2) Sales were down in every market, including Miami Beach and the barrier islands, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. In Palm Beach, only 17 homes sold during the 3Q2017, a drop of 37% compared to the same period last year.
3) In the Miami Beach luxury sector (top 10% of sales), condos performed better than single-family homes; the inventory of available condos declined 8.5% to 1,130 units, while it increased significantly for single-family homes, up nearly 34% to 217 units. Both luxury condos and homes spent more time on the market than a year ago and the listing discount was about 8.9% (about the same as 3Q2016).
4) Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens and Fort Lauderdale were among the better performing South Florida markets.


A FUNERAL director from Peppard is attempting to cycle from London to Paris to raise money for the Royal British Legion.

Solution 1
    <com.kdcos.contsync.utilities.dragview.DragLayer
                android:id="@+id/framelayout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"

           <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent">
                <RelativeLayout
                    android:id="@+id/rl_dropView"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"

                        android:layout_width="30dp"
                        android:layout_height="30dp"

                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_below="@+id/imageView"
                        android:layout_centerInParent="true"

                        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
                        android:lineSpacingExtra="10sp"
                        android:text="Drop Cards Here"
                        android:textColor="@color/blackDark"
                        android:textSize="10sp"

                </RelativeLayout>
        </RelativeLayout>
            </com.kdcos.contsync.utilities.dragview.DragLayer>

UPDATE
Solution 2
as I can see  android:orientation="vertical" in your code under DragLayer.its mean DragLayer is SubClass of LinearLayout, so in your RelativeLayout just change
android:layout_centerInParent="true"

to:
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"

Catch up on the weekend action
It was another exciting Saturday across the EFL's three divisions...
With another weekend of EFL action done and dusted, there's plenty to digest ahead of the midweek fixtures...
Here's our division-by-division round-up of Saturday's results, and what they mean for the respective standings...
The Sky Bet Championship delivered yet more drama on Saturday, with the early kick-off just a sign of things to come. Trailling 1-0 to Derby County going into the final stages, Peterborough United scored in the 91st and 100th minute of the game - through Harrison Burrows and Siriki Dembele to earn their first win of the season in stunning fashion.
The day's biggest winners were Fulham, who sit top of the table after a resounding 5-1 victory at Huddersfield Town, which included two goals for Ivan Cavaleiro. The victory was Marco Silva's first since taking over at the club.
Queens Park Rangers were also convincing winners on the road, beating Hull City 3-0, while West Bromwich Albion made it a winning start on home soil by holding on to see off Luton Town 3-2. The late kick-off, between Swansea City and Sheffield Wednesday, had less drama, with the sides settling for a point following a goalless draw in Wales.
It all means that, with two games played, not a single team in the division has a 100% winning record. The Championship remains as unpredictable as ever.
In League One, four sides made it two wins from two, with Wycombe Wanderers, Portsmouth, Sunderland AFC and Burton Albion making up the top four in the division. Just behind them is Morecambe, whose incredible start to the season across league and cup continued with a 2-0 home victory over bottom-placed Shrewsbury Town.
Elsewhere, Lincoln City, Plymouth Argyle and Wigan Athletic all left it late to claim wins of their own over Fleetwood Town, Gillingham and Rotherham United respectively, but the game of the day came from AFC Wimbledon, who came from 3-1 down to claim a point against Bolton Wanderers.
In the all-Yorkshire clash between Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster Rovers, it was the hosts who secured their first win and scored their first goals of the new season in an eventual 2-0 triumph at Hillsborough, a game which included a fantastic effort from Barry Bannan.
The result leaves Doncaster in the bottom four as one of three Clubs yet to register a point in 2021/22.
Last but not least, there were 11 fixtures to enjoy in Sky Bet League Two, with Forest Green Rovers leading the way, level on points with Stevenage, Mansfield Town and Northampton Town. Stevenage's impressive late double at Bristol Rovers saw Chris Lines find the net against his former club.
Bradford City's homecoming and Derek Adams' first home match in charge was one to remember for the bumper crowd of 17,264, as Lee Angol scored a dramatic last-minute penalty to give the Bantams victory over Oldham Athletic.
Like Bradford, Carlisle United secured their first victory of the campaign, courtesy of a 2-1 win at promotion hopefuls Swindon Town, thanks in part to a precise volleyed effort from Joe Riley.
And while Leyton Orient were comfortable 3-0 winners over 10-man Exeter City, the result was less certain at Holker Street, where Barrow eventually got the better of newly promoted Hartlepool United in a entertaining 3-2 victory.
There's more on the way in midweek, of course, with plenty to look forward to as we approach the floodlit football.

Swedenborg and Life Recap: 10 Questions: Guardian Angels, Forgiveness, and Self-Improvement – 8/7/2017
Questions pour in during every episode, but hosts Curtis and Jonathan can only take on one at a time. To cover the rest, our expert panel consults the spiritual writings of eighteenth-century philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg.
The expert panel members are:
Soni Werner, retired psychology professor and author
Chris Dunn, community relations, Swedenborg Foundation
Chelsea Odhner, writer for Swedenborg and Life
Curtis Childs, host of Swedenborg and Life
Karin Childs, writer for Swedenborg and Life
Jonathan Rose, series editor, New Century Edition
Shada Sullivan of the Swedenborgian Church of North America
Throughout this episode, our experts will work to answer questions from viewers—questions and answers are summarized below, and you can follow the links for the full discussion.
1. Is a poor work/life balance a form of evil?
Dr. Soni Werner notes that we can't judge someone else's spirit—while we can encourage healthy behavior, we can't and shouldn't define evil in others. That said, anything done in service of love of the Lord and love of other people is done for the right reasons. So if a person is working hard and sacrificing on a personal level because they truly believe that the outcome will be good for others, that can be a positive thing. However, if the motivation for working hard is to get more money or to make themselves look better, that indicates a focus on love of self and love of the world, which can hold them back from progressing spiritually.
From the episode: "The Day-to-Day Process of Our Salvation"
2. What is punishment as defined by Swedenborg?
Chris Dunn starts out with a reading from the Bible (Romans 7:14–25) in which the apostle Paul confesses that he doesn't want to break God's law but that his sin inside drives him to do things that he later regrets. This shame or regret one feels after making a mistake or doing evil, Chris finds, can be the most powerful form of punishment. God doesn't punish evil; it punishes itself.
From the episode: "Spiritual Questions Answered 12"
3. Why did Jewish men have to wear a blue piece of fabric?
Chelsea Odhner sees inner meaning in this commandment from the biblical book of Numbers (15:37–41) through correspondences—the spiritual meaning behind physical things. Garments reflect truth; and the corners, upon which are attached the pieces of fabric, reflect strength and stability. Blue shows an affection for spiritual love, so altogether this instruction is telling us that if we are feeling lost, we should go back to the truths that we get from the Word and live according to those principles.
From the episode: "Spiritual Secrets about Color"
4. Does Swedenborg give any specific exercises or techniques to improve one's thinking/being?
Curtis Childs has spent a lot of time considering this question. The problem is that while Swedenborg says quite a bit about what to do, he never lays it out as a system. However, in the process of working on the show, we've produced episodes that incorporate some of Curtis's own Swedenborg-based techniques.
Our Spiritual Toolkit series on YouTube addresses specific cures for anxiety, fear, and unwanted thoughts. "3 Simple Ways to Love Everyone" is an episode that provides some excellent habits for better living.
5. Karin Childs takes on a series of three related questions:
What about people who have no or limited choices (due to war, hunger, forced indoctrination)?
Still can't understand why some of us have so many privileges while many are so poor that they don't have the energy for spiritual things.
Karin starts by saying that while God allowing people to have free will seems like a clichéd answer to this question, it's still an important piece of the puzzle. However, there are other ways to think about these questions.
She explains that from a heavenly perspective, there are three levels: the highest is purpose, which is followed by means and then results. On earth, we can only see results, but heaven has higher purposes that are the true cause of those results. She draws a parallel to a child with an infection. The child only sees the painful result, but an adult knows that the pain is the result of her immune system working to drive out harmful bodies. There's a purpose to the pain, too—it's an alert that something is wrong. And just as we don't always realize how much disease our immune system is preventing, we don't always realize how much suffering God prevents.
We have to take action with a perspective on higher purposes rather than being defensive—or worse, hopeless—around the symptoms. Things can seem to be more painful when we become aware of them, but a lot of the time that's because we have a better perspective on what is good. We can look beyond the symptoms to the causes and ask God, "How can I be part of the cure?"

6. Which of Swedenborg's books provides the greatest descriptions of his trips to the other side?
Dr. Jonathan Rose notes that Swedenborg talks about his spiritual experiences in different ways. One way is to generalize about something that he saw, which Swedenborg does throughout his writings. But in some works he also includes what are known as "memorable occurrences," in which he gives the story of an encounter as a standalone narrative, usually at the end of a section or chapter.
Some of Jonathan's favorite examples of Swedenborg's memorable occurrences can be found in True Christianity. Other Planets is another great book for spiritual experiences. Spiritual Experiences, however, is full of straight, uncut trips to the other side.
7. Swedenborg speaks about angels, but what does he say specifically about guardian angels and their role in our lives?
Shada Sullivan hasn't seen records from Swedenborg about what we'd call guardian angels. We don't have assigned angels that protect us from accidents, but Swedenborg does describe each person as having two associated angelic spirits and two evil spirits, each of whom might influence us in different ways. We have the freedom to choose whose voice we want to follow—the angelic voices of love, trust, and hope, or the evil spirits who try to sow hatred of ourselves and others. So every positive thought we have comes from the angels that are close to us, and they protect us in this way.
8. Evil spirits may have been souls like us, so can we forgive them as Jesus would?
Chris sees living in forgiveness as a way to align ourselves with God's love. Nothing we do, say, or think is beyond the Lord's capacity to forgive, so nothing anyone does, says, or thinks should be unforgivable. That said, by embodying God's love in our lives, we can choose to accept his forgiveness.
What happens, Chris asks, if someone hurts us and we choose not to forgive them? It creates a breeding ground for anger, hatred, vengeance, and a host of other negative emotions that in turn create a breeding ground for hell inside us. Forgiveness has less to do with the person who hurt us and more to do with our own ability to find healing.
From the episode: "How to Deal with Evil Spirits"
9. How can someone gain heavenly rewards?
Soni points to a passage in which Swedenborg describes a progression in doing good works: At first, a person might do good deeds because they hope it will help them get to heaven. Then, they might start doing good for everyone indiscriminately, without any thought for whether those persons will use that help for good or evil. And finally, the person will focus their good deeds so that they are helping where it will do the most possible good. Along the way, the help becomes less and less about personal gain or going to heaven and more and more about doing the right thing for other people. In fact, this is in itself a heavenly reward—working alongside God's will is a reward because you're living the life intended for you.
From the episode: "What Will You Remember in the Afterlife?"
10. Was Swedenborg ever self-critical?
Curtis has learned that there are positive and negative forms of self-criticism. Positive self-criticism is driven toward healthy change and comes from heaven, whereas hellish self-criticism drives you down and makes you feel helpless. Swedenborg's self-criticism was of the first type—to be aware of his flaws and try to be a better person.

Q: How to convert it into es6 arrow functions? in Vanilla JS Hi i want to convert this code to es6 arrow functions here is the sample code. but i'm getting an error like this:

let pets = [
  {name: "Meowsalot", species: 'cat', age: 2},
  {name: "Barksalot", species: 'dog', age: 4},
  {name: "Purrsloud", species: 'cat', age: 10}
]

pets.push({
  name: 'Puppster', species: 'dog', age: 1
})

let ourTest = pets.map(nameOnly)

function nameOnly(x) {
  return x.name
}

let dogs = pets.filter(onlyDogs)

function onlyDogs(x) {
  return x.species == 'dog'
}

function onlyBabies(x) {
  return x.age < 3
}

let babyDogNames = pets.filter(onlyDogs).filter(onlyBabies).map(nameOnly)

// here is my es6 version
let ourTest = pets.map(nameOnly => nameOnly.name);
let dogs = pets.filter(onlyDogs => onlyDogs.species == "dog");

(onlyBabies) => onlyBabies.age < 3
let babyDogNames = pets.filter(onlyDogs).filter(onlyBabies).map(nameOnly);
console.log(babyDogNames);

A: You are passing a not declared arrow function in the line let babyDogNames = pets.filter(onlyDogs).filter(onlyBabies).map(nameOnly);. You should pass either anonymous arrow functions
let babyDogNames = pets.filter(pet => pet.species == 'dog') // filter only dogs
    .filter(pet => pet.age < 3)          // filter only babies
    .map(pet => pet.name);               // get names

or declare all arrow functions as variables and then pass them:
const onlyDogs = pet => pet.species == 'dog';
const onlyBabies = pet => pet.age < 3;
const onlyNames = pet => pet.name;

let babyDogNames = pets.filter(onlyDogs).filter(onlyBabies).map(onlyNames);


One evening a couple of months ago I was walking down North Third Street between Berry and Wythe and thought to myself that this one block really embodied what everyone (the city, the community, the politicians, the planners) envisioned when the waterfront rezoning went through in 2005. Here you can find a vibrant and diverse collection retail stores that create a real eyes-on-the-street vibe, new residential construction and rehabbed loft buildings. The north side of the block is lined with old loft buildings, rehabbed for residential use. The south side has a well-designed new condo set amidst single-story industrial buildings. There are a host of local retailers, anchored at the corners by bars and restaurants (the Levee, Radegast, Relish and Zebulon (OK, the latter is technically not on North Third, but it counts)). There are small retail establishments (books, second-hand furniture, clothing, books, jewelry, a gallery and even gourmet chocolate), a large retail establishment (Lumber City) and even offices (Vamos Architects).
I meant to chronicle the block back then, and it's been on my mind to do so ever since, but WG New + Arts has beat me to it. It's worth a read, and a walk down the block.

Daschle, Thune Debate Farming
MITCHELL, S.D. – Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle's (search) proposal to create a small farm administration drew fire during a debate Wednesday with Republican challenge John Thune (search).
Thune said the office would provide little help for farmers who already deal with plenty of red tape. They don't need another layer of government, said Thune, a former three-term congressman.
"The reason we have some of the problems that we have today in agriculture is because we have too much bureaucracy ... I'm not for more of that I'm for less of that."
Instead, "more control at the local level will get a better outcome," he said.
In defending the plan, Daschle, the Democratic leader of the U.S. Senate, said the office could provide advocacy services for farmers. Funding could be dedicated to helping small farmers and the staff could be carved from existing resources, he said.
"For my money, that means ... an effort that ensures that farmers and ranchers at long last have a voice in Washington like they've needed in a long, long time," Daschle said.
Thune said more employees in Washington won't provide any assurance that farmers will be heard and called the plan "an election year thing."
Being an advocate for farm issues is a job of elected officials, said Thune. "That's what you're there for Tom," he said.
The hour-long debate — the first in South Dakota's high-profile Senate race — came during Dakotafest, a farm expo near Mitchell. At times it sounded more like a college football game than a political event as the audience cheered and occasionally launched a verbal attack or shouted out praise.
One of the liveliest exchanges came after a question about drought relief.
Thune said drought relief didn't come to South Dakota until after Daschle lost his position as Senate majority leader in the 2002 elections.
The measure only passed then because "people sat down and said `what can we do to get this done,"' said Thune. If people had been willing to discuss a solution before it became a political issue, assistance could have come a lot sooner, he said.
"I can understand why John feels awfully defensive about drought assistance," Daschle responded. Thune was not able to persuade President Bush to go along with drought aid during his unsuccessful U.S. Senate bid in 2002, the Democrat said.
The record is clear on which candidate has fought for drought relief, he added.
Daschle said in 1998 he asked former President Bill Clinton to veto a drought appropriations bill because it didn't contain enough money. Clinton listened, vetoed the bill "and we got six billion dollars in disaster assistance," said Daschle.
Farmers and ranchers don't need more loans — they need meaningful help, Daschle said.
Philip Mathews of Draper said he enjoyed the debate and thought the rhetoric was fiery at times. "They got a little testy with each other," said Mathews, who added that his views are more in tune with Thune.
"It's time for Tom Daschle to go," he said.
Trecia Rickenbach of Sioux Falls said Daschle is not an impediment to South Dakota's interests in the Senate, as Thune espouses. And Daschle got the best of Thune in the debate, she said.
"I felt that Thune was very defensive and argumentative," Rickenbach said.
Questions from audience members were funneled to the panel of reporters. The questions were supposed to be limited to agriculture, but many were about issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage.
One person who offered a question didn't seem impressed with either candidate. The question: "I wonder if these two and all politicians would agree to lie detector tests."

Q: Grouping a list of integers into two groups Given a list of n numbers and sum s, group the numbers into two groups such that sum of the numbers in each group is less than or equal to s. Print YES if grouping is possible , print NO if grouping is not possible.
For example , if n=3 , s=4 and n numbers are 2,4,2.
In this case , the output is YES as two groups that can be formed are (2,2) and (4).
My solutions are below.
A is integer array containing n numbers.
first group contains sum of elements in first group.
second group containes sum of elements in second group.
Solution 1

*

*Sort the array in descending order.

*Keep on adding numbers to the second group till sum of the elements in this group is less than or equal to s.

*Calculate the sum for first group as sum of all elements minus sum of elements in second group

*If sum of element in each group is less than or equal to s , then print YES else print NO.
    qsort (A, n, sizeof(int),compare);
    int second_group=0;
    f=0;
    for(i=0;i<n;++i)
    {
        if((second_group+A[i])==s)
        {
            f=1;
            break;
        }
        else if((second_group+A[i])<s)
        {
            second_group+=A[i];
        }

    }
    int first_group=sum_of_all_elements-second_group;
    if(f==1)
    {
        cout<<"YES\n";
    }
    else if ((second_group<=s) && (first_group<=s))
    {
        cout<<"YES\n";
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<"NO\n";
    }

Solution 2
Using Greedy approach

*

*Sort the array in descending order.

*Add first element in the array to first group.

*Iterate over rest of the elements and add each element to the group that has minimum sum.

*If sum of the elements of both the groups is equal to sum_of_all_elements then print YES else print NO.
    qsort (A, n, sizeof(int),compare);
    int first_group=0,second_group=0;
    f=0;
    first_group=A[0];
    for(i=1;i<n;++i)
    {
        if(first_group<second_group)
        {
            if((first_group+A[i])<=s)
            first_group+=A[i];
        }
        else
        {
            if((second_group+A[i])<=s)
            second_group+=A[i];
        }
    }
    if((first_group+second_group)==sum_of_all_elements)
        cout<<"YES\n";
    else
        cout<<"NO\n";

Question
Both the solutions mentioned above give incorrect answer. I am failing to understand for which scenarios they are failing.
It would be great if someone can help me out with any other alternative solution to this problem.

A: You are assuming that all the smallest elements will be in one group, which is not necessarily true.
Take the following example:
array = {1, 2, 4, 6} , s = 7

Both of your solutions will yield wrong output for the above case.
Let me first clarify what problem you are trying to solve. You are trying to solve a modified version of the Subset Sum Problem. Let me rephrase the question for you:
1. Give an array A and a sum S. Find the subset of A with the largest sum S1
   such that  S1 <= S. (We want the largest sum because it will give the
   smallest possible sum for the rest of the elements).

2. Now the sum of the rest of the elements is S2 = TotalSum - S1. If S2 <= S,
   print YES otherwise print NO.

Subset Sum problem is an NP- hard problem and cannot be solved in polynomial time. However, there exists a Pseudo-Polynomial Time algorithm based on dynamic programming for the problem. See the Subset Sum Problem or Dynamic Programming: Subset Sum for the pseudo-polynomial solution. The idea is like this:
   Use dynamic programming to calculate whether there is a solution to the
   subset sum problem for sum = S. If there is a solution, then report YES
   if TotalSum - S <= S. Otherwise pick the largest sum that exists in the
   DP table (just select the last row with subset sum = True entry in the
   last column). Let this sum be S1.
   If S1 <= S report YES otherwise NO.

You can also remember the subset that leads to the sum S1 you select for the first subset, by remembering extra information while constructing the DP.

A: Fast try -- the sum of A must be <= 2*s. And the biggest element in A must be <= s.
Can you give more test cases? Or just a case when my algh doesn't work.

A: Group1 =< s and group2 =< s
so
group1 +group = sum of numbers =< 2*s
So I suggest the easy algorithm,
If sum of numbers =< 2*s
return true
else
return false

A: At first sort the numbers. first group (sum1) composes from the biggest number + as many as the small numbers. other numbers go to the second group.
if sum of numbers > 2*s return false;
Sort the array in ascending order
i =1; sum1 =a[n]; sum2=0;
While ( sum1 + a[i] =< s)
sum 1 = sum 1 + a[i]
i ++
end while
for j = i to n -1
sum2 = sum2 + a[j]
end for
If (sum1 =< s) and (sum2=< s) return true
else return false;

hostile area where the severely damaged M1151 Up-Armored HMMWV was located, in order to render first aid to his fellow soldiers. Marra climbed on top of the overturned vehicle, exposing himself to enemy fire that was landing immediately next to the vehicle as well as on the wall just behind him, and proceeded to open the vehicle door and extract the men inside.
"This was like déjà vu," remarked Marra. He continued to explain.
"We were on a previous mission just 20 days prior when we were ambushed in the same area, same way, by some of the same insurgents. During that instance, we lost our medic, Cpl Rachel Hugo."
That memory was still fresh in the minds of Marra's unit. It was this instant flashback and moment of reflection and loss, according to Marra, that gave him the courage and confidence to do what was necessary.
"One thing I remembered is that I looked across the alley and saw the exact spot where Hugo was killed. The circumstance we were in (now) was violent and ugly, but that moment of clarity gave me strength to persevere and will forever be etched in my mind," said Marra.
The gunner had been ejected and sustained shrapnel injuries. The driver was unharmed, but one soldier didn't make it.
"SFC Towns was a National Guard relief on his first tour. I felt really bad because he and the others depended on us to train them up to speed. He had a son and daughter in Iraq at the time," Marra said.
Another soldier -- the squad leader -- was injured. Once free, Marra helped to lower him down and behind cover. Seeing his squad leader unresponsive with a very weak pulse and barely breathing, Marra inserted a nasal pharyngeal airway into his nose, which is believed to have saved him from choking to death.
"She (Hugo) taught us well. She taught us how to save lives, and would have been proud," said Marra.
When it was clear that the wounded soldier needed to be taken to a more advanced medical treatment facility, Marra once again demonstrated exceptional courage and the utmost loyalty for his fellow soldier by volunteering to take his wounded squad leader in the back of a local Iraqi Police non-armored pick-up truck to the Iraqi Police Station where coalition medical personnel were standing by. Marra helped load the casualty into the bed of the Iraqi Police truck and then continued to perform lifesaving measures on his patient while traveling through the heart of one of the most dangerous cities in his area of operation.
While traveling a half mile to the Iraqi Police Station in the back of an open-bed non-armored Iraqi Police truck, Marra continually performed CPR on his wounded squad leader in order to keep him alive. Marra's actions, tremendous determination, quick thinking, extraordinary ability to stay calm under fire and undeniable courage directly contributed to the saving of his squad leader's life.
"When it came time to perform lifesaving measures without her (Hugo), our squad executed the battle drill and performed as one cohesive unit. Every piece fit together and we made it out of a situation that could've easily been worse."
Anytime a fellow soldier falls, it is a sad day. In this instance, Marra was able to take what the enemy meant for evil, and use it later to save lives. For his selfless acts, he was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor device.


ViEmu Forums » General » What should I read first?
Hi there, I just signed up at this site this week.
Sorry for being lazy, but I just thought I'd ask if anyone could point me to any especially good posts that I should take a look at first, so I can get involved here?
Thanks a lot for the interest. Since vi/vim editing is well known and there are many other more general communities, this forums has mostly been a venue where to discuss support issues with ViEmu, feature requests/suggestions, and specific details of ViEmu.
I also plan to prepare an article presenting the vi/vim model to non-vi(m)ers, as soon as I can finish and release ViEmu for Word and Outlook (I'm right now struggling with Outlook 2007 compatibility, which is a bit of a special case in the Word/Outlook family).

Play 1: Seeking Dignity
"Time heals all wounds, right?"
Great script, great acting, great story. Set in a world where you can arrange your own death, this dark and emotionally-charged narrative portrayed an interesting subject matter and raised some very poignant questions.
Paige Waith Tiede's purposeful and focused performance as the 'Friend' knew exactly what she was there for the moment she entered the stage. Her quietly commanding delivery was complimented by Kane Anderson as Darnell, a troubled man seeking the end. Anderson's performance was truly moving and has left a lasting impression. In such a short space of time, he made the audience care, cry and feel disgusted in just 10 minutes. He had Jesse Plemmons vibes, and I thought he was wonderful.
The twist in this tale is an upsetting one, but one that is expertly performed by both Tiede and Anderson.
This first play really does hit you over the head with a metal pipe. Incredible.
Play 2: Close to Black
"I suppose I'm waiting for my life to start."
What if heaven was a nightclub and we could see some of the people waiting to get in?
This play is a captivating comment on fame, music and questioning what it truly means to live. Following the larger than life portrayals of Amy Winehouse (Michelle Schaunaman) and Karen Carpenter (Julia Friedrichsen) outside heaven's party gates, this show discusses those who are now tragically part of the '27 Club' and how the music industry has treated women over the years. It deals with the troubling topics like healthy self-images, self-care, impossible beauty standards and raises the questions of what life is all about. What will we miss after we're gone? And who will remember us?
This show was beautifully acted, and so much of the dialogue carried a lot of weight, especially knowing the true story of these two legendary female musicians and artists. A very touching moment for me was when the women realised they had failed each other across time and hadn't succeeded in making a huge impact to the treatment of women in the music industry. It was a huge problem in their time, and it still is today, so this statement was relatable as ever.
Both women also realised the love of strangers is never enough because they still felt alone in the end. The moments of speaking in unison is divine and is very emotional.
'Close to Black' is a beautiful play that recognises the need for love, acceptance and staying true to yourself. Amazing.
Play 3: Tango-ed Web
"When you're dead, don't come crying back to me!"
First of all, watching a man dressed as a bee chilling on a hammock and shouting "f**k" is everything.
This third play was absolutely hysterical and I loved every moment of it. Who knew a play about the mating rituals of spiders and of bees would be the perfect fuel for comedy?
I particularly enjoyed the scripting of this show as the back and forth banter between the Suitor (Jason Honerman) and the Bee (Curt Campbell) was genius. From the subtle facial expressions to the encouraging gestures, these two were a great double act and I thought that Campbell's Bee character is an absolute gift for this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
Emily S. Davis' Widow was demanding and seductive and complimented this dynamic duo nicely. Her body language and line delivery is everything you could want and more from a woman playing a spider.
The trio really brought the script and the story to life and the puns were funny. It was an absolute joy to watch, and I couldn't stop smiling.
And although no amount of self-help books and podcasts can truly make you feel better, there was a lot of useful advice in this show that really made you reflect on your own life and reminds us that we cannot avoid our destiny.
All three shows were filmed live at the Capitol Theatre, and I loved the costuming and traditional stage sets that complimented each performance perfectly. Brian T. Schultz's direction of Deena M. P. Ronayne's scripts was marvelous, and I would have loved to have seen these in person.
Congratulations to the entire cast and crew on making these three individual and very important plays. 5 stars.

The first of the three plays, a man who is terminally ill has hired somebody to kill him – but the woman who appears at his door wants to kill him for another reason…
In "Close to Black" Amy Winehouse and Karen Carpenter see how much they have in common – how the music machine caused their deaths.


UK councils will be the first beneficiaries of a groundbreaking partnership between Microsoft and Newham Council.
The council is working with the software company to develop a number of applications that could benefit other councils in the UK - although the creation of an open-source model might stun some of Microsoft's critics.
"We aim to create a system where lots of other local authorities could benefit," said Newham Council's deputy head of ITT, Geoff Connell.
"For example, we're working with Belfast City Council on a CRM application and we're aiming to reduce total cost of ownership. We hope that they will take our system, make it better and give it back to us for free. We have also developed adapters to create applications and middleware that we're making freely available to other local authorities."
Connelll stressed that the aim was not create a business arm of Newham Council but to improve the way that local councils could improve the services they offer. "This is not about making big profits," he said.
Such a way of working may raise eyebrows among those in the open-source community who have been the fiercest critics of Microsoft in the past.
"The irony of us using Microsoft's products for an open-source type deal had not escaped me," said Newham Council's deputy head of ITT, Geoff Connell.
Connell believes that Newham is in the forefront when it comes to IT within local government and points to several initiatives, such as tablet PCs for social workers, that have improved the way that the local inhabitants could interact with the council.
The council is widely seen as a leader in IT, which is why it was a shock when the council abandoned its participation in an open-source trial last December and struck a deal with Microsoft.
Both parties remained tight-lipped about the financial details of the partnership but the council pointed to research from CapGemini that pointed out that using Microsoft's products would be considerably cheaper, about 13.5% cheaper than an open-source approach.

Congratulations. It's interesting that you and the poster above (QK) are both starting in YYZ on Sept 12th but you are in VFR course and QK in IFR. Are you sure about the stream?
Looks like I'm out of luck for this fall (been in IFR stream since August 2015).
Yeah, i am positive about what i was streamed for - IFR, and the course that ive been placed on - VFR (I'm guessing because i said that is what i preferred during my in person interview) there is both an IFR and VFR course starting on Sept 12 at YYZ.
Both IFR and VFR classes are starting on September 12th. I was streamed IFR and was offered a choice between IFR and VFR when I received the call. Based on my preference I chose IFR.

Congrats! Hope you're enjoying training!
Yes, it does seem very unfair to those of us off the street. However, they have to do something to increase the suitability of applicants, since the ATC courses have a sub-50% success rate. Since no one in the world has obviously found a consistent way to measure who will be successful, it's only logical for NAV Canada to give "bonus points" to applicants referred by someone who's already doing the job, who presumably would be able to identify the soft attributes that may make a person successful.
Seems entirely like nepotism to me.
How would someone at all have any idea of who's best suited for a job, even if they work there, beyond what large scale personality and iq tests can determine?
They're more likely to refer friends that they have a good time with, that they like. Not because when they interact with their friends they're looking for the best suitable candidate to become an ATC.
the referred person still has to do tests and an in-person interview if they do well on the tests. Once they hit the final candidate pool, there is no more 'bonus' to being a referral candidate.
I LOVE the bitterness in this post. It's tough to disagree that the process of applying is long, with little info, and with 0 guarantee of anything. That's just how it is tho.
Bobbert is 100% correct when it comes to the referral process. They still must complete testing, and an interview before even being considered for a course offer. However I've seen this happen in under 5 days from someone off the street to places on course.
This is my fav thing you said. "They're more likely to refer friends that they have a good time with, that they like."
That's a huge part/point of the referral program. A licensed controller who is willing to put their name out there to suggest a candidate who they feel will be suitable for training, along with having the right personality to fit into a control center's work environment. All at a cost of ZERO dollars to Nav.
My experience with the employee referral program thus far is that family members referred are below average, acquaintances and friends referred are above average. So I can conclude that family members are either blind to what attributes their family members have or purposely overlook them.
Has anyone been through with the Employee Referral Program?
what are the in person assessments like?
what stream does Air Traffic Controller fall under - Flight Service Specialist? or instrument flight rules? or Flight information centre?
