Nametag – Sanchit Gupta, Maharashtra
He held it in his hands, not knowing what to do. The digits colored red and blue, two way slide, LED flash double and an array that badgered the head. It is the wait that kills us, and he had waited. Hours, weeks, months? Maybe many, maybe none. He tossed it back and forth, up and down like a juggler, juggling with the thoughts. Insolence has a way to escape, but guilt? It sticks around like the nametag that shone on his suitcase, unused, unnoticed, unscathed. The mind matures to the test of time, the heart fuddles at the cusp of wine. And it was the mind, the discerning, the wise, the one that had stood the test of time, and had guided the steps to where he stood today, pondering over the array, fingers swaying over the reds and blues. The suitcase had arrived, shoveling through a long queue of similar ones with similar nametags, though different in sizes, shapes and manner, a habit it had developed over time. He placed it on the trolley and made his way out.
Didi's house was only a few miles away, and the cab didn't take long. The neon lights marked the silhouette of the city into a glowing radiance. The technological wonder as it was, the city of Bangalore, no longer just the city of gardens, but now the city of IT. Didi worked in one of those firms, tall glass buildings, rock climbing, free pool and round the clock food. She had recently been transferred, about a month ago. It was for the better she said, and offered good money. He took out the luggage and ambled along to the elevator. It was Ten PM, the weekend was beginning to stretch its legs. As expected, Didi was surprised. She hadn't expected Sanjay to be there, all the way from Mumbai ! Hope the spirits are fine as they should be, for the charm was missing. The face was dry, eyes swollen, revealing that sleep that had been a casual visitor, the lines of fault drawn along the temples, like a meandering river that disappears into the gorge. She reached forward to hug him through the door, he lunged all his weight on her, resting the chin on her shoulders. Men have broad shoulders, women it seems, have broader.
'She said no, Didi', the aroma of coffee permeated the room, as he spilled the beans. He rested his arms on the table, fingers wrapped around the mug, staring at the reflection in the brew. Didi was sitting on the adjacent corner, one leg placed on the chair, digging her face between the arms, watching him speak. 'I don't know how, I…I don't know why. I was happy Di, I really was. You know Di, she is the most beautiful women I have ever met. Her gentle hands, the way they would hold me and rest me when I was down, the way she would laugh at the jokes I cracked, like no one else ever had. The way she would take me to places I didn't know of, walking down the alleys as night befell. Her soft voice, the way she would take my name, the sly smile, the mischief, her long luscious hair flowing down the shoulders. Her eyes, oh Di her eyes, I tell you, you would have lost yourself in the charm of her eyes. The way she would look at me, with love in those eyes, with truth in those eyes. How can I believe it Di? How can she say she did not?
'Believe it not', she said, 'believe it not Sanjay, accept it.' Maturity, it is said, brings wisdom, and Didi was the wisest person he knew. Or was she?
'No Di, I can't, and I won't. She is the one, I know it. I know she would come back, come back to me. There is no other face, there is no other name. The course of true love never runs smooth, doesn't it?'
'I shouldn't have let her go', he continued, mumbling to himself, 'I should have held on to her when she was there for me. I should have listened to her when she had called out to me, but I didn't. Now, now she is gone. What should I do Di? How should I tell her I can't live without her? Is there no way to take time back?'
The pots of coffee had emptied themselves. She took them back to the sink and turned on the tap. Water gushed on as if the dam had been let open, cleansing the scars that had marred the face. Consolation, she knew, was a lost man's solace, and she had none to offer. She took him out to the roof. The clear September sky was lit with glittering stars, dazzling the spawning stretch of land into a panoramic view of the city. Their faces were brushed by a gentle breeze, calming the volcano brewing inside his head.
No replies yet, she hadn't called, or even sent a message. The eyes couldn't prevent the tears from pouring out, flowing down the cheeks. Eight months ago she had walked into his life, and he couldn't say when, walked out. A blanket of clouds came over and covered the stars. Di said Bangalore might receive a brisk shower and they should head down. The night was getting dark, and long.
She held it in her hands, not knowing what to do. The digits colored red and blue, two way slides, LED flash double, and an array that badgered the head. It is the wait that kills us, and she had waited. Three years was it, or maybe four? No LED then though, and no flash. How did he even have her number? But she had, never lost sight, always the courage. The heart jumped a beat as the ringtone crooned away, and what would she say? Those four years breezed through in front of her eyes, in a flash of a second. What a time it was, back in college, the carefree days of engineering, the golden days of insouciant rubbles and blithe conversations. And Sanjay? She could still remember the first time she had seen him, some club competition in first year. When the seniors would drag them all into the numerous extra currics that ensued, the way he had spoken. Elegance, grace and command, oh, how she had dreamt about him since the day. Yet couldn't say so, ever. Four years, he hadn't called, not even on her birthday. And there it was, Sanjay calling, it ranted on.
'Hello' said a voice on the other end. It was Sanjay all right, years might go by but she couldn't forget the charm of his voice, the one that had allured her yet eluded her.
'Hi' she said, her demure voice trying hard to conceal the quiver in her lips.
'Is this Naina?' he enquired.
'Yes, may I know who is on the line?' by mustering composure as much as she could, and a nonchalance as much as she could fake.
'Hey Naina, this is Sanjay, remember? From college?'
'Sanjay, ofcourse. From electronics right? Long time no see. How have you been ?'
'Doing good. I was in Bangalore for the weekend. Got to know from a friend that you too are put up here. So thought of calling you up. She also gave your number. I hope it's not too late for a call?'
A thorough gentleman, quintessential Sanjay, she thought. 'No it's not, nice to hear from you. How come you in Bangalore? Where are you these days?' she asked.
'Too many questions together Naina! Why don't we meet up tomorrow, maybe lunch? Catch up the good old college times! What say?'
How she had waited for him to ask this question, for months altogether, while in college. She looked at the calendar. It was a Saturday tomorrow, a day off from office, but her boss had called her in. The whole team infact, they were running late on a project, so had to work through the whole weekend.
'That would be great Sanjay, but I kinda have office tomorrow' she said, disappointed with herself, 'would you be free on Sunday?'
'Sunday would be tough, Naina. Infact, tomorrow afternoon only, for in the evening I gotta leave for some place. '
'Oh I will try', she said, and we hung up.
It was not unusual for Naina to work on a Saturday, IT professional as she was, used to such makeshift arrangements. Nevertheless, a working Saturday would come with a license to be light on the schedules. Maybe come late to office, casual attire, light banter all around. Naina could not wait. She keyed in at 8 the next morning, finished halfway through by lunch, and told her boss she had to take the day off on a personal call. She messaged Sanjay the time and place, went home, had a bath, refreshed herself, got ready. The heart jumped a thousand beats as every second would pass by. She checked her hair again, should she tie them around or let it fall open? How did it use to be while in college? She had cut them short now, would he like it? Should she wear a suit or jeans? Or maybe a kurti? She galloped on, waving berserkly at the autos. Brigade road, she said. It was getting late, but maybe, there still was time.
Brigade Road was the most celebrated, much vaunted corner of the city of Bangalore. Like Park Street of Kolkata, Cannought Palace of Delhi or Marine Drive of Mumbai, the place was a cherished resort for everyone, from tourists to localites, lovers to shoppers, young to old. It captured every emotion that the city had to offer, like a reflection of the ups and downs its dwellers lived with everyday. Today as well, the place was bustling with energy, more than the usual it can be said, being a Saturday. Laughter was dancing in the air, joy was serenading through the streets. Charm in the eyes of those who had come with their loved ones, holding hands, clicking pictures, sharing smiles. Sanjay sought a tree in one corner of the road and arranged to sit himself beneath the shade. He could remember a time, few months ago, when there was a similar street once, where he would wait for her to come. A tree nearby, similar to the one that stood today, and a bar of chocolate in the pocket of his jeans, for her, for she loved it. Once he had brought two of them, she savored one before dinner and one after it. No wonder he could spot extra layers growing around the waist, even if she said they did not. He slid his hands in his pocket, foraging through the cave, scouting for the past. She hadn't called.
A few minutes later the phone rang up. It was Naina calling. He tried to recollect her from the times of yore. The sleek, thin girl, a beautiful smile though. The voice was peculiar, was it, like speaking with an accent, though there was none. He tried to remember, how many times had he even talked to her while in college? Twice, thrice maybe? In a whole span of four years? There were rumors though, that many would say and he had heard, credulous or incredulous he won't say, that she had a liking for him. Truth is a farce, and the farce diffuses through the air like a spilled tanker of oil, polluting the life that lay within, unwarned, unheeded. And for the farce, he had had no alacrity to rest the case. Four years, things change he knew, and so do people and emotions. There was a coffee shop nearby and they headed in.
It was a brown color kurti she wore, braided with dots and linings on the side, or carvings through the mesh. Peacocks crawling along the neck like the hands of a bride spread out, festooned with the green, that would soon turn brown, maybe. Little feet with striped sandals, earrings that were gold but not golden, as she would claim to be. The big purse she would always carry, contrary to her small arms, and to what Naina had today. And no golden ear rings even, but silver. She had grown fat he could see, not like the one he had seen before with two cakes of chocolate, but more than what she was four years ago. The extra weight suited her, he thought, accentuating a glow he had not seen earlier, or maybe, didn't remember. She asked him how he had been, and he replied. He asked her how her job was, and she replied. Apparently, she was single, as he found out, and confidently so, as if by choice. Her demeanor had a substance that commanded respect. Her smile hadn't changed though, as vivacious today as four years ago. She sat on the chair, resting her back to the hilt, looking into his eyes and smiling at him. Just like the way she used to, yet, she hadn't called.
It should have been the green one, its lucky for me I know. Yet what a fool I am. Purple kurti with chikankari on the neck, and a sky blue dupatta. A new one, never worn before. And there are no mirrors on the streets. Eyes of the strangers maybe, but not the ones that should be, as she searched through the packed contours. There he was, sitting in the corner under a tree. She spread her hand through the hair, tucked the dupatta, the final touch. He said a hello, she reached out, and they hugged. Maybe a half one, guarded, unsure. Coffee was good, and he was talking about how life had been. The same, honest voice, and the passion that there was. As if he was standing on a podium addressing a congregation, and she be at his side. The fingers were fiddling with keys, and her head was tilted to one side, and then the other hand, and the other side. Her phone rang up in the middle sometime, she switched it to silent and placed inside her bag.
The sun was beginning to set as they walked out. More people pouring in to enjoy the evening, while they walked down the alley as night befell. Sanjay had to catch the flight back to Bombay, visit her the next morning, if she would that is. Naina had to walk down the street with him one more time, if he would that is. It was the past trying to creep into the present, and the present trying to ward off the past. They ambled around the corner, as the road meandered towards the highway.
'It was really nice to see you Naina' he said, holding out his hand, bidding good bye. 'Same here', she replied, placing her palm in his stretched out hand, as she looked at him, with love in those eyes, with truth in those eyes. And walked away.

Berndt Andreas Baader, född 6 maj 1943 i München, död 18 oktober 1977 i Stuttgart, var en västtysk anarkist och kommunist samt en av ledarna för vänsterterroristorganisationen Röda armé-fraktionen ("Baader-Meinhof-ligan"). Baader greps 1972 och kom efter en mycket lång rättegång att 1977 dömas till livstids fängelse för mord i fyra fall och mordförsök. Den 18 oktober 1977 påträffades han död i sin cell i Stammheimfängelset.

Biografi
Andreas Baader växte upp tillsammans med sin mor Anneliese, mormor och moster. Hans far, arkivarien Berndt Baader, försvann vid östfronten i slutet av andra världskriget och återfanns aldrig. Baader gjorde under tonåren revolt och valde bland annat att inte konfirmera sig och försökte övertyga sin mor att sluta fira jul. Han var en bråkstake i skolan och kom senare i klammeri med rättvisan i München. Detta var en av orsakerna till att han i början av 1960-talet flyttade till Västberlin. Han slapp göra militärtjänst.

Baader började snart röra sig inom studentkretsar, utan att själv studera vidare, och kom snart in i den proteströrelse som växte fram bland studenterna. Baader utmärkte sig genom att vilja gå till attack genom attentat. Det var också då han träffade sin livskamrat Gudrun Ensslin.

Tillsammans med Ensslin och två andra, Thorwald Proll och Horst Söhnlein, förövade Baader den 2 april 1968 brandattentat mot två varuhus, M. Schneider och Kaufhof, i Frankfurt am Main. Polisen kunde omgående gripa gärningsmännen och rättegången gav Baader uppmärksamhet. Fängelsestraffet omvandlades efter en tid till samhällstjänst, och Baader arbetade bland annat inom ungdomsvården tillsammans med Ensslin. Efter att under en tid ha vistats i Paris greps Baader och sattes på nytt i fängelse. Den 14 maj 1970 rymde han med hjälp av bland andra Ensslin och Ulrike Meinhof och bildade Röda armé-fraktionen. Fram till 1972 var han med och planerade samt genomförde attentat riktade mot den västtyska staten och den amerikanska militären. Han greps den 1 juni 1972 tillsammans med Jan-Carl Raspe och Holger Meins i Frankfurt am Main.

I Stammheim-rättegången dömdes Baader till livstids fängelse. Under tiden i häktet och i fängelset fortsatte Baader att vara ledare och frontfigur inom RAF. Han initierade bland annat hungerstrejker bland RAF-fångarna.

Morgonen den 18 oktober 1977, efter den så kallade Dödsnatten, påträffades Baader död i sin cell. Enligt den officiella utredningen hade han skjutit sig själv i bakhuvudet med en FEG-pistol med kaliber 7,65. Enligt obduktionsprotokollet uppvisade Baaders högra hand samt ingångshålet krutrester. Baaders mor hade intygat att hennes son var vänsterhänt.

Translation:Their dog is eating meat.
Is "ich" pronounced like it is in German? The audio sounds like "ch"
There's something really strange about the audio, true. No, it's not, for a Polish ear the German "ich" sounds like "iś", so that's not even remotely close.
Many pronunciation guides compare the h = ch (same sound, just an orthography issue) sound in Polish to the sound in the original, Scottish pronunciation of Loch Ness.
Could you spell it phonetically?
Well, if you know IPA, that's [ix]. The x sound (do not confuse it with what the letter x sounds like) isn't really used in English, apart from Scotland.
But if you have problems with that, I guess better just go with "h" like in "hat".

2D natural clay offers a platform for machine learning algorithm

Algorism plays a significant role in predicting future states of a system. Particularly, non-Markov chain algorithm has been widely applied in epidemic spreading processes, social and man-made memory networks, the environment-related quantum entangled states, and artificial algorisms such as face pose tracking. Traditionally, a large number of memories and computing cells are integrated to achieve these goals by software algorisms, showing high complexity. In the paper published in Science Bulletin, a group led by Bilu Liu and Hui-Ming Cheng from Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute (TBSI) of Tsinghua University has realized a non-Markov chain algorithm in a single resistive random access memory (RRAM) based on 2D mineral material for the first time and revealed the related mechanism.
The researchers found that 2D mica is an excellent ionic conductor, the internal potassium ions (K+) in which controllably migrates under the stimulation of a cyclic electric field to induce resistance switching (RS) phenomena. It is interesting that the related RRAM device exhibits both single-window and bipolar RS behaviors, which is modulated by the strength of the electric field. The migration of the intrinsic K+ contributes to the high on/off ratio of 103, long retention time of more than 108 s, high stability and reliability of the 2D mica-based RAAM, superior to the ones relied on the conduction of external ions.
Accordingly, the authors have successfully achieved the non-Markov chain algorithm in a 2D mica-based RRAM with three states (Figure 1). Different polarities of the input voltages were applied to stimulate the device and produce certain passing paths. By this way, the output signal of the device is not only related to the current input voltage but also the previous state, and a multi-path non-Markov chain is realized. This research reveals the controllable ion transport in 2D layer mineral materials and provides a guideline to design and engineer the related functional devices for realization of algorithms in future.

If your business isn't mobile chances are your prospective customers don't know you exist at all. In a study by Borrell Associates of over a thousand small-business owners, 72% plan to increase their mobile ad budget this year and 65% will increase their budget by as much as 30%. What does this suggest? It means that more small business owners and local marketers are realizing that mobile marketing isn't simply a trend and has become an essential strategy to reach potential customers and increase ROI.
Mobile searches for restaurants led to a 90 percent conversion rate, with 64 percent visiting within an hour of the search.
74 percent of mobile users used their phones to get "real-time location-based information" directions, up from 55 percent the previous year, according to the Pew Research Center.
Mobile search will generate 27.8 billion more queries than desktop search by 2015.
The most-used buzzword at the moment in digital marketing is "Native Advertising." It's a type of advertising that displays relevant ads to related websites or portals. This helps in capturing your target market and driving them to your website. For instance, a carwash outlet banner ad can appear on an auto dealer website and vice versa. The native advertising approach complements both businesses, and by partnering with relevant blogs, news sites, or complementary product websites, you can easily capture target customers while creating low-cost ads.
If you're having a difficult time in planning your native advertising strategy, the best alternative would be partnering with a mobile display advertising partner like Mojia and Jumptap. The hosting is handled by the mobile advertising partner which is low-cost as well. Mobile advertising partners enhance your mobile presence and ensure that your ad covers a broader target audience on the Web. Contextual ads work like native ads by could offer a chance of higher click-through rates.
It's a no-brainer that location marketing complements mobile marketing and vice versa. One of the most-used mobile app, Foursquare, allows users to check in at your physical store that can be a restaurant, a car dealership, or a cafe. Whenever customers check in and share your location, it helps your business increase its online PR which makes people aware. Also, encouraging customers to leave a feedback after checking in creates opportunities to entice potential customers. So how does a Foursquare ad work? Foursquare ads are alot like Yelp reviews that helps in personalizing local searches for customers that are finding a particular product or specific service. A Foursquare ad unit only charges you when a potential customers take an action which is similar to Google's PPC program.
Native advertising is a terrific approach in acquiring leads and increasing conversion rates. However, if your budget is tight then you'd want to use local mobile searches as a means of organic advertising instead. As more potential customers use their mobile gadgets to find a review of a local service or business on Google Maps and Yelp, it's a must to create a content feedback strategy to increase your relevance in your industry. Always keep in mind to establish a mobile website with a responsive design before you initiate your local keyword strategy.

Although the purpose of these monthly readings is to monitor the likely "tone" of the upcoming circuit of the Moon through the zodiac rather than to predict specific events during the period, I use reversals to show where the pitch may be a little "off" during the affected phase(s). Plans may not go quite according to the script, or they may not get off the ground at all.
Each quarterly phase covers approximately one week, with a minor turning-point occurring roughly every 3-1/2 days. The four quarterly transitions are considered significant because they reflect four main astrological aspects between the Sun and the Moon: the conjunction (New Moon); the opposition (Full Moon), and the waxing and waning squares (the First and Last Quarters). The in-between minor phases are more akin to "mid-course correction" opportunities.
The Crescent phase (September 24-28) harbors the Ace of Cups reversed, and the euphoria could stall a bit on this minor sour note. The Prince stumbles in his eagerness, and emotional assumptions that looked promising earlier may not pan out. The "seat-belt sign" goes on – could be turbulence ahead.
The First Quarter Moon (September 28 – October 2) in Capricorn holds the 5 of Wands reversed, and some simmering antagonism may erupt out of the background. Perhaps someone will be offended but won't own up to it, or circumstances will become difficult to manage. Astrological squares are times of stress, so the traditional meaning of this card ("Strife") is not out-of-line with that expectation. A disagreement may shatter the peace, and there could be a brief interlude of chaotic adjustment.
The Gibbous phase (October 2-5) brings in the 2 of Disks, implying that the "fire" will go out of the uncomfortable scenario inspired by the 5 of Wands, resulting in more orderly developments of a practical nature. The juggling of weekly priorities should go well for now.
The Full Moon in Aries (October 5-9) shows a period of retrenching as coordinated progress fizzles out in disarray with the 10 of Swords, necessitating a return to the drawing board. Whatever came undone can't be redressed, so moving on quickly is the wisest choice.
The Disseminating phase (October 9-12) invites the Fool to work his regenerative magic, picking up the slack left by the ruinous 10 of Swords. While not exactly "fun," its fresh perspective and firm if negligent step could be balm to frayed nerves.
The Last Quarter Moon (October 12-15) in Cancer, another instance of potential strain, presents the Moon reversed; the veiled Moon in a darkening sky doesn't bode well for clarity. Whatever the Fool thought he saw, it wasn't reality. The Pink Floyd album title "Obscured by Clouds" comes to mind. Treading cautiously is imperative.
The Balsamic phase (October 15-19) hosts Adjustment (Justice, Libra's "enforcer") reversed. Looks like the Moon lies and the judge believes her. The "fix is in," and shady deals could be going on in the twilight. It's difficult to come down on the side of justice when the judge has been hoodwinked and the jury can't even read the warrant without a flashlight. A certain gullibility is implied by this combination – the Fool's dilemma come home to roost. The month closes on an uncertain note, with many loose ends to weave together. The advice for the last half of the cycle is not to start something that can't be finished quickly and without controversy.


Leviticus is about a holy God who wants to make his dwelling among his people.
Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. day. In the past I have used this weekend as an occasion to reflect on what Scripture teaches about race. It is obviously a relevant topic since our county is embroiled in political hand wringing and debates about race relations, Black lives matter, immigration, refugees and secure borders. Soon to be president Trump has stirred up the debate with his rhetoric about building a wall on the Mexico border. I'm not going to wade into the politics of those issues. I do believe sovereign nations must have secure borders and fair immigration policies and ways to legally control and administer those policies. It is the Constitutional responsibility of our government to "ensure domestic tranquility" and "provide for the common defense" and "promote the general welfare" of our nation. We must pray our leaders have godly wisdom and courage to do that. But most of us don't have much of a role in those matters. The role we do have is how can we be salt and light in this politically and racially divided culture God has placed us in. How do we show love to our neighbors who are very different from us? I am interested in looking to Scripture for wisdom from God about how we as Christians should live and act and speak among sojourners and how we are to view them. The fact that Scripture speaks to these issues tells us that God thinks about these things, and it tells us that it's important to Him and so it ought to be to us. Let's begin be being reminded of why we should love our foreign neighbor, why we should be hospitable and not hostile. Six reasons.
Have you ever tried to read the book of Leviticus? What is it all about? Why does it matter today?

Q: wxpython Multiple wx.NumCtrl into data structure for plotting in matplotlib I am writing my first gui in wxpython and I am fairly stuck on how to properly get the entered data from the NumCtrl into a data structure that can be easily manipulated by matplotlib to give my desired plot. My GUI template is shown below

Basically for each angle I want to enter the number of counts with (C) and without (U) a collimator in place. When I press the plot button I would then the numbers from each wx.NumCtrl and plot the graph. Currently we enter the counts into a spreadsheet and plot using ggplot2 from R. However I would like to replace this with a more user friendly GUI written with the plotting done within the same script. An example of the desired final plot is given below

Here is the snippet of the relevant code below:

             (wx.StaticText(panel, -1, 'deg'))])

where numctrl_ccm90 and numctrl_ucp90 are the widgets corresponding to the collimated counts at -90deg and the uncollimated counts +90deg etc.
I assume I should create some kind of binding that updates a variable/list/dictionary with the counts for each NumCtrl widget. I am not sure how I should do this and in what format is best for subsequent plotting. For example when I enter 1234 counts in numctrl_ccm90 I would like to store this information as counts: 1234 collimator:Y Angle: -90.
When I finish typing in the data I would press the plot button, which would pick up the counts value in each numCtrl box (apart from the fwhm numctrl) and would place all this information in a structure that allows plotting
For the plot - I plot normalised counts for collimated and uncollimated detector versus angle. What is the best way to approach this task. I'm pretty lost at this moment

I have my counts in a list of lists now
self.angle_list = []
self.angles_list.append([-90,'U',self.numctrl_ucm90.GetValue()])
self.angles_list.append([-75,'U',self.numctrl_ucm75.GetValue()])

where each element of angle_list is a list with format [angle, collimator, counts]
Not sure how this helps me plot. What I need is a scatter plot of angle vs counts for the 2 combinations 'U' vs 'C'.

A: I would suggest having 3 lists of controls, auto-generated, you can then run through the lists in order, once populating a grid sizer and on each plot click run through each again picking up the values to put into two lists of tupples or arrays to supply to plot. e.g.
self.Angles = range(-90, 100, 15)
self.Texts = [wx.StaticText(panel, -1, '%d' % a) for a in Angles]
self.CCount = [NumCtrl(panel,-1,style=wx.TE_PROCESS_ENTER|wx.TE_PROCESS_TAB) for a in Angles]
self.UCount = [NumCtrl(panel,-1,style=wx.TE_PROCESS_ENTER|wx.TE_PROCESS_TAB) for a in Angles]

do your adding to a sizer and in your OnPlot method:
   Cs = [ctrl.GetValue() for ctrl in self.CCount]
   Us = [ctrl.GetValue() for ctrl in self.UCount]
   plot(zip(Cs, Angles)) # or something similar

etc...

Unfortunates' is as random as the mind
By By Steve Coons, Red Pulse Writer
By Steve Coons, Red Pulse Writer
In 1964, B.S. Johnson's novel Albert Angelo was published with holes cut in the pages, skewing the novel's chronology by physically altering the traditional structure of the book.
Five years after taking a knife to the pages of Angelo, he introduced it to the binding of his fourth novel, The Unfortunates. The book exists as 27 loose sections presented in a box roughly the size of a trade paperback. The first and last sections are labeled as such, but the other 25 sections are meant to be shuffled. Some of the sections are presented on a single loose page, but others are long enough to be staple-bound. Not surprisingly, the unorthodox novel quickly went out of print, but renewed interest in Johnson8212;springing from Jonathan Coe's award-winning biography, Like a Fiery Elephant8212;prompted New Directions to bring out a new edition last year.
In Coe's excellent introduction, he notes that economics prevented The Unfortunates from being published as planned in Hungary. This prompted Johnson to respond in a special introductory note, in which he pleaded for his Hungarian readers to cut the novel into the 27 pieces he had intended and to then place those sections into a suitable receptacle so as not to miss the "physical feel, disintegrative, frail, of this novel in its original format; the tangible metaphor for the random way the mind works."
But while the subject of the novel might in fact be the randomness of the mind, as Coe and Johnson argue, the subject of Johnson's mind is the death of Tony Tillinghast, an old friend and literary mentor of Johnson's who fought cancer for years before dying shortly after the publication of Johnson's second novel.
The Unfortunates opens with Johnson in Nottingham to cover a soccer match between City and United, wondering why he didn't think of Tony's sallow cheeks and shriveled gums when his editor gave him the assignment. Around every corner is another memory of his friend, and yet he approaches the assignment unwittingly. The novel, then, is a stream-of-consciousness account of Johnson's reminisces throughout his stay. Sometimes the memories are of Tony's disintegration, sometimes they are of Johnson's failed relationships, and sometimes he just talks about soccer.
Johnson doesn't allow the novel to descend too far into sentimentality, though with the shuffling of sections some readers might encounter a painfully concentrated dose of sections detailing Tony's decline. Johnson came to Nottingham to write about soccer, and his assignment provides a welcome shot of humor, a distraction from Tony's death and the uneasiness it inspires in Johnson's egotism.
Johnson writes about soccer for the money, but he is a fan as well. In one section, he stands in front of a row of televisions showing swimming and jumping, writing, "The only sport most people want to watch is soccer, the only real sport, the best, the pathetic ends they go to on Saturday afternoons to cover up the fact that they are not showing football." He also touches on the dilapidated football arenas built by stingy owners, mocks his dying friend for enjoying cricket, and records the writing of his football column.
Despite the packaging and stream-of-consciousness, the novel is surprisingly conventional. Even taking the shuffling into consideration, it would be difficult to describe the chronology as disorienting. Although his prose is often compared to Beckett's and his hero is Laurence Sterne, Johnson's writing is almost entirely comprehensible and to the point. Each section is devoted to a particular memory or string of connected memories, most of which function as traditional narratives, even while composed in Johnson's non-traditional style. It's difficult to agree with Johnson's assertion that the novel is primarily concerned with the randomness of the mind when there are so few diversions, when the randomness of the mind is only accurately presented in physical form.
Two lines from the novel seem to the point, namely, "How I dull myself with architecture," and "It's an object, it's an objective, it will pass the time."

Capital Structure and Tax Shields"
Go to Yahoo! Finance's Website, located at http://finance.yahoo.com/, and select a publicly traded company which interests you. Determine the company's symbol (i.e., Apple = APPL) and navigate to the "SEC Filings" link on the left-hand side of the page under "COMPANY". Review the debt structure of the company you have chosen by reading the company's latest quarterly report and determining whether it has any convertible bonds or long-term debt. Recommend two actions that the selected company can take in order to optimize its capital structure. Provide a rationale for your recommendation.
Discussion Topic 2:
Please put the following paragraph in your own words.
The purpose of optimizing capital structure is to select that proportion of various forms of debts and equities that maximizes the firm's value while minimizing the average cost of capital.
The Net Income to an optimal capital structure states that the total value of the firm changes with a change in the financial leverage. The NI approach holds true under certain assumptions. The NI approach assumes that the cost of debt is lower than the cost of equity. Therefore, an increase in the proportion of debt in the capital structure would result in a decrease in the firm's average cost of capital. A lower cost of capital would result in an increase in the value of the firm.
The NI approach can be used to determine a firm's optimum capital structure where the value of the firm is highest and the cost of the capital is lowest.
The Modigliani and Miller theorem is perhaps the most widely accepted capital structure theory. The first proposition, also referred to as the debt irrelevance theorem, states that the value of a firm is unaffected by its capital structure. The second proposition states that the required rate of return on equity increases as the firm's debt equity ratio increases. This exactly offsets the less expensive funds represented by debt.

There are three laws covering all mining and exploration activities in Colorado. One is for coal mining and two more for hard rock and construction materials operations. Prior to engaging in any prospecting, exploration or mining, a miner or operator must first obtain the proper permits. There is typically more than just a single mining permit required. These permits and authorizations are issued by several different Federal, State or local agencies.
To begin with, all mining and exploration activities in Colorado require a mining and reclamation permit from the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS). Federal, state and local agencies are notified of the application during this permitting process. Therefore, in addition to the state mining and reclamation permit, an operator may need to obtain permits or authorizations from the United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management or Department of Energy if the mine is located on federal lands or extracts federal minerals. Additional permits may be required from other state agencies such as the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment, Water Quality Control and Air Pollution Control Divisions, and the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Local jurisdictions such as counties and cities may also require special use permitting. Other agencies often weigh in with special considerations about wildlife, cultural resources and post-mining land uses.
Permitting a mine site begins with the operator collecting baseline information of the pre-mine environmental conditions in the immediate and surrounding area of the proposed mine site. This work includes geologic, hydrologic (both surface water and groundwater), soils, vegetative, wetlands and wildlife assessments, collection of climatological data and cultural and historic resource analysis. Part of this assessment is defining the mineral resource that will be extracted and also defining the pre-and post-mining land uses. This information is then used in preparing the permit application, including detailed mining and reclamation plans. This is an integral part of the application.
Once the application is submitted, the reviewing agency conducts a technical adequacy review. Part of this review typically involves a public comment period and notification to other agencies and interested parties. If objecting comments are received, it can lead to administrative and judicial reviews before a final decision is rendered. Upon successful completion of the state permitting review, an operator is required to post a financial assurance warranty which can be used to complete reclamation in the event the operator fails to do so. Overall, this permitting process can take from a few months to several years to complete depending on the complexity of the proposed project and the number of reviewing agencies involved. Information about the different types of mining permits and requirements can be obtained at the state's mining website which is www.mining.state.co.us.
