Although I have video and audio clip categories for Bollywood music, Fusion Music, Asian Urban Music, Family, Everything Filipino, and Words & Music That Heal — whether it's a song, a dance, an interview, or a beautiful PowerPoint presentation, this section is for whatever entertains me, energizes me, inspires me or uplifts me. I really use my blog as a record of my thinking and growth process.
I hope my collection moves you, too!

EARTH, WIND, & FIRE SINGS "FANTASY"
(video courtesy of eyuseco, YouTube.com)
My late brother, Reuben, and I used to rock to this song for hours. We never got tired of Earth, Wind, & Fire… Nowadays, I listen to their songs whenever I miss his presence. Reuben passed away in June 1990(suddenly! this remains a sticky issue with my family regarding Cebu City's MCWD and the Hepatitis A epidemic that hit our Lahug neighborhood — and me included BUT Cebu's Clean Water Movement started due to Reuben's death; we are indebted to his friends who having started the movement).

FERGIE OF BLACK EYED PEAS SINGS "GLAMOROUS"

I chose this PowerPoint presentation because the photos here depict what "glamour" could mean, in the physical sense of the word.
CHARLOTTE CHURCH AND BILLY GILMAN SING "DREAM A DREAM"
(video courtesy of OracleofHope, YouTube.com)
When my mother-in-law, the late Sandra Dietz, used to orchestrate romantic, candlelight dinners for the family whenever we visited their fabulous home in Austin, Texas, Joel, my father-in-law, would turn up the sensurround sound of the stereo system — and we would enjoy the music of Andrea Bocelli, Charlotte Church, Josh Groban and other classically-trained musicians.
I remember Mom telling us that it was a pity how people were working (then 13-year old) Charlotte Church to death because it meant abusing her voice. She said, "Watch Charlotte as she grows older. If she doesn't properly rest her voice and get more appropriate training, that pure, angelic quality of her voice will disappear."
Prophetic mother, I thought.
At least, in this video, we catch Charlotte during that delightful, "pure" state.
JOSH GROBAN SINGS "PER TE"
(video courtesy of gvillegrobie, YouTube.com)
I love this guy!
JOSH GROBAN SINGS "TO WHERE YOU ARE" IN A TV EPISODE OF "ALLY McBEAL"

(video courtesy of jhin9, YouTube.com)
IZ SINGS "SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW AND WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD MEDLEY"
(video courtesy of Vidbrats, YouTube.com)
Too bad that this great Hawaiian artist is dead… but his memory lives on. When this song served as the background music for the deathbed scene of Dr. Greene in an "ER" TV episode, I started crying — and grieving all over again for the loved ones that I had lost.
Hearing Iz's music for the first time made me realize that modern Hawaiian music has truly grown up ever since Don Ho's "Tiny Bubbles" charmed its way to our hearts.
CELINE DION SINGS "I'M ALIVE"
(video courtesy of JamesBottleOfSmoke, YouTube.com)
One of my favorite singers!
CELINE DION SINGS "A NEW DAY HAS COME"

(video courtesy of SambaSoul, YouTube.com)
This song is dedicated to Dino Veloso (formerly known as Tino Veloso) and Grace Arceo. The three of us danced the disco swing version (one man twirling the two girls) at the basketball court in front of St. Therese Church Parish in October 1978 (or was it 1979?) at our Parish fiesta in Lahug, Cebu City. Grace is somewhere in Canada while Dino — oh well, Dino — he's a very well-known creative broadcasting and event producer.
ANDY WILLIAMS SINGS "CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU"
(video courtesy of burtmurdoch, YouTube.com)
Reminds me of the wonderful days at St. Theresa's College, Cebu City, Philippines.
THE SONG "AQUARIUS" FROM THE MUSICAL "HAIR" (in this case, the movie)
(video courtesy of FrikyInTheNight, YouTube.com)
Remember the Flower Children, Woodstock, drugs, and rock and roll? Well, they're all baby boomers now in their early 60′s. Their influence lives on.
EVANESCENCE SINGS "LITHIUM"
(video courtesy of evanescencevideo, YouTube.com)
Arup Dutt, an awesome friend of mine from TimesOfMoney.com (based in Mumbai, India), introduced me to Evanescence's music. Here, she sings about depression. Wow, the music is strikingly melancholic. Somehow, the song is appropriate for those rare days when I want to float into groundlessness with my fears. Thank you, Arup!

Another project today featuring another one of the new stamps from Crafty Individuals. For this project I used the new "Bluebird with branch and berries" stamp. Seriously, the image of this stamp is gorgeous.
Jean and Malcolm (owners of Crafty Individuals) sent to me the new stamps and also a small coaster and mdf embellishment to use. I love working with coasters so I had a lot of fun making this.
I drilled some tiny holes in the coaster and gave it a light sanding. I then gave it a coat of Gesso, sanded the edges and added a coat of cream acrylic paint and gave it another sanding. I stamped the bird image with Black Staz-On and covered it with a paper mask and stamped the script. I removed the masked and painted the bird with acrylic inks.
I then sprayed sealed it with a fixative which gave it a nice glossy finish. To finish the project off, I added the chains, links and embellishments. It wasn't until I finished that I thought the swirly embellishment would look equally nice on the bottom.
The little green disks are from an old necklace. Well actually I wore it as a bracelet because my neck is to big!!! lol!
Just to share: The acrylic inks dry quick and are permanent so they don't need a fixative. Having said that, I do use a thinner with them which does slow the drying time down. I did spray this piece with a fixative/varnish to give it a lovely glossy finish. I did think One step crackle would have looked nice on this piece to give it an old vintage look.
I will be back with another project soon.
Crafty Individuals are on Hochanda TV on Monday the 4th February at 4 pm and Tuesday the 5th February at 10 a.m. Jean Hardy will be demonstrating and showing the new stamps. Hochanda Tv chanels – Freesat 817 Sky 673 and Freeview 85. If you have missed the shows, do check out the rewind on the Hochanda website.
This is gorgeous Florence, I do love the sweet bird.
Oh my, this is just stunning my clever friend!
This decorative hanging is also a stunner!!!
The colouring on the bird is perfect, Florence, another lovely stamp! I love the transformation of the coaster into a hanging and the upcycling of your new necklace is a great way of keeping it in use!
Great idea to use the coaster and old necklace to make a hanging. A very beautiful piece!!!!!


Very good recipe. I've made it about three times so far. The first time it tasted a little weak, so the next time I doubled the sauce recipe and cut back on 2 tablespoons of the water. Also added an onion after frying the asparagus……yum!! Thank you for sharing your recipes.

See the Harsh Words Heidi Montag Had to Say About Former BFF Lauren Conrad
It's been years upon years since the infamous "You know what you did!" confrontation on The Hills, but as it turns out, not much has changed (at least, in Speidi-land): Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are still on reality television (Marriage Boot Camp), still sticking to their original "who me" story, and still holding a grudge against Lauren Conrad for their misfortunes in life. But one of those things finally/maybe/kind of changed for the better last night. No, the pair didn't announce their retirement from reality TV—but Heidi did attempt to let go of her beef with LC. Granted, it was directed toward a stand-in stranger and was of the backhanded variety, but it was forward progress (literally, through a blue hallway marked "forgive") nonetheless. Take a look for yourself. Something tells me Lauren won't be thrilled with Heidi's so-called absolution: "Lauren, I forgive you for being so insecure in your life and so frustrated for everything that you went through that you felt like you had to blame it on me because that was easier," Heidi said. "I forgive you for trying to ruin my life." Pretty loaded words for someone who's "let go," am I right? What do

Q: Why is there a rule that temporary objects must have distinct addresses? The situation of my interest is
const int &n1 = 123;
const int &n2 = 123;

I know it is something as if the literal 123 is the parameter for initializing a temporary int and const is just a boring compile time check, but I want to know the reason why distinct temporaries are needed in this case, instead of n1 and n2 both having the same temporary.
I know the rule exists but do not know why this rule exists.

A:
const int &n1 = 123;
const int &n2 = 123;

I want to know the reason why distinct temporaries are needed in this case.

Because the C++ committee probably didn't care for this specific case. What was on their mind, what was their aim, was to provide rules on how temporary are handled in the more useful and common case: evaluation of full-expression chaining creation, use and destruction of temporaries:
class A { /* ... */ };
A make_a();
void consume_a(A&&);
void use_a(A const&);

consume_a(make_a());
use_a(make_a());

It's obvious make_a() needs to produce a different temporary A each time.

A: If you want them to have the same address, you can always do const int &n2 = n1. If you do it in another way, the compiler may suspect you have your own reason to do that.
The compiler is not allowed to guess what your concern is. It implements what you write. Doing an optimisation as your suggest would imply that the comparison bool test = &n1 == &n2 will give another result. Generally speaking, the compiler is allowed to make optimisation, as long as the result is not modified.
You should consider that previous compilers were much less efficient than now. Such an optimisation or a language feature should have been impossible 30 years ago. So, it if it is not an optimisation, it will be a modification of the language that would potentially change the behaviour of many existing programs.

Akko-Ptolemais was an ancient port city on the Phoenician coast. It is also known as Ake, Akko, Ptolemais in Phoenicia, Acre, and several other names.
Around 37 BC, the Romans conquered the Hellenized Phoenician port-city called Akko. It became a colony in southern Roman Phoenicia, called Colonia Claudia Felix Ptolemais Garmanica Stabilis. It stayed Roman for nearly seven centuries until 636 AD, when it was conquered by the Muslim Arabs.

Doha Family /
Autumn 2014 /
Living in a bubble
Thinking of moving to Doha? Find out if life on a compound is the right choice for you.
By Bethan Wyn Speakman
One of the most mind-boggling challenges facing anyone planning a move abroad is simply where to live. Many people want to transport their conventional idea of a comfortable home from their home country to the new country, only to find out that they can't.
My husband was the first of our family to arrive in Doha and was charged with the daunting task of finding accommodation for us. Soon after arriving, he cornered colleagues and quizzed acquaintances about the best housing options in order to begin his hunt for a house. He had a month to find housing before the company stopped covering the cost of his hotel room.
During one of many heated Skype conversations that took place over the following weeks, he informed me that we should live in a compound. Cue the panic attacks!
The word had negative connotations for me. A prison came to mind, a place where battery hens are kept perhaps, a factory using highly toxic materials, or just somewhere you would go to hide away from the world. It certainly didn't sound like home.
After some research (which consisted of a couple of internet searches and a conversation with a friend whose friend's sister had lived on a compound in Abu Dhabi), I slowly began feeling less scared. And so, we took the plunge and opted for an apartment in a large compound.
What is a compound?
The reality is that in Qatar and other countries in the Middle East many expats, especially families, opt for compound life. The word "compound" is simply a noun used to describe an area containing a large number of villas (houses) and apartments built close together and owned by the same company.
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Two years down the line and with two years of experience of living on a compound in Doha, I can safely say that my experience has been mostly a positive one. Having been brought up a village girl, but having lived in cities for all of my adult life, life in the compound reminds me more of village life than city life—in a good way. You get to know your neighbours well and feel part of a community.
"One reason we chose to live in a compound was the social benefits. The compound provides a social support network for all the family—for my wife and myself as well as for the kids," said Craig from the UK.
A close-knit community
When you arrive in a new country, far away from your friends and family, this close-knit community aspect can prove to be invaluable.
Having a support network on your doorstep to give advice, provide a helping hand or be a shoulder to cry on is a lifeline for many—especially for stay-at-home mothers with young children.
Lisa from the UK found comfort in having a group of friends so close to home. "My youngest was born here," she said. "It was so hard being far from family, especially my mother. Our friends on the compound were so incredibly helpful—they became our family."
Many compounds even have Facebook pages where residents can share information and arrange meet-ups to get to know each other.
For families considering a particular compound, Roxanne from the US recommends joining the compound Facebook group. "Join the Facebook group and start a conversation before you sign the lease if possible. Remember to ask questions. Does the maintenance team deal with requests quickly? What schools and nurseries are nearby? How many parking spaces does each villa have?"
Meanwhile, Rebecca from Canada suggested joining in on the compound community as soon as you can. "Once you have moved into your villa, join any groups or start your own coffee morning or playgroup, and head to the park—it's a great way to meet people."
Whilst some love the safe, friendly bubble that is compound life, others hate the "goldfish bowl" existence and complain about everyone knowing their business and seeing the same people day in day out.
"The downside for me is that compound life is a bit of a bubble. Our compound is employer-specific and I'm fed up with being forced to socialize with some people just because of who they happen to be married to," explains Mariana* from Brasil.
"Beware of cliques," warns Robert* from the UK. "My recommendation is to stay out of those groups and let them get on with it. On the upside, at least these cliques mean that compound life comes complete with free entertainment!"
The key to your happiness is to make friends outside the compound too. Join a group, pursue a hobby or take a course so that you can escape when you need to.
Clash of cultures
The international community aspect is one of the positives that makes compound life interesting—you and your family can make friends with people from every part of the world.
However, sooner or later, you also come to realize that it can lead to a clash of cultures. For example, some families allow their children to stay out until fairly late at night, which might clash with families from cultures that tend to have early bedtimes for their children.
"I don't like the bickering on our compound between people from different cultures," explains Anne* from France. "Some have a 'them and us' mentality with one group criticizing the other for the way they bring up their children. I keep out of it myself."
Roxanne, a city girl, also told me that she associated the word "compound" with "suburb" before moving to Doha and couldn't stand the thought of moving to the suburbs—perhaps it was the gated community idea that put her off?
As it turns out, she loves compound life. "It's so nice to be able to walk to a small shop for essentials, drop off my dry-cleaning, and have a rec room for parties."
Compounds often have a playground and a pool, with some of the bigger ones having restaurants, a gym, a shop, a mosque, a laundrette, a mini-theatre, an indoor play area and even a nursery or kindergarten. However, some compounds have better facilities than others and it is important to bear in mind that these facilities come at a price—the better the facilities the more expensive the rent.
"We have all the benefits of being on holiday—it's just a shame that I have to go to work during the day! We even have a restaurant that delivers to our villa!" said Ian from the UK.
A common complaint amongst expats is that it's a landlord's market. "It's usually impossible to challenge a hike in the rent and you don't want to be known as the family that is always complaining," said Alan* from the UK.
He also states bureaucratic management as a cause of frustration. "The enforcement of the compound policies can be a little heavy handed, causing a conflict between the residents and management, or even between residents and other residents."
Every compound has a security guarded entrance, not only to ensure that only those paying compound rental fees get to take advantage of these facilities, but also for safety purposes.
While Doha is a relatively safe city with low crime rates, many still feel happier living in a gated community where they can leave their doors unlocked and let their children run free.
"The compound is a safe place for my kids to play. I feel comfortable allowing them to roam freely here," said Anti from Indonesia.
Roxanne also appreciates the safety of a gated community for her kids. "Our five-year-old son was outside all day playing with his friends. They swarmed from house to house, messing things up and having a snack, before moving as a tornado of stinky boys from one house to another—seeing them having that freedom was heavenly!"
A different way of life
Before coming to Doha, you need to get your head around the fact that things are different here.
In Doha you can't step out of your front door and walk to your local park or high street—the design of the city and the way the roads have been laid out in addition to the heat makes this practically impossible. You can't catch a bus to your nearest mall or park—public transport is nearly non-existent and taking the car is your only option.
"Living on a compound has provided me with somewhere to push a pram or let the kids ride their bikes safely, without always having to bundle them in a car and face the Doha traffic," said Ae Sook from Korea.
Being away from home always involves a trade-off wherever you go in the world and wherever you choose to live. Living on a compound in Doha means that yes, you will have to sacrifice having access to the 'real world' on your doorstep and yes, you will miss being walking distance from a public park or shops. But then again you will gain a swimming pool and plenty of people to lend you an ear, a helping hand or just a cup of sugar when you need them.

Police want injunctions to bar criminals from communities
Published:Friday | October 18, 2013 | 9:19 AM
Jerome Reynolds, Staff Reporter
Commissioner of Police Owen Ellington says the Jamaica Constabulary Force is looking at bringing civil action to bar criminals from certain communities as a measure to clampdown on the mayhem they cause in these areas.
Ellingston says the recent spike in murder and other violent crimes in sections of the island are linked to increased gang activities.
He says the presence of gang members in communities are a challenge to peace and safety.
The police commissioner says increased operational activities have resulted in a reduction in murders and other crimes in these gang-infested communities.
He added that effort is being made to utilize legal remedies to get these persons out of the communities.
The police commissioner has taken issue with sentences handed down by the courts with regards to persons who committed serious crimes.
According to him, when criminals receive light sentences it allows them to go back on the road in a short time and continue their criminal activities.
Ellington says stronger sentences are needed to take away the profit of committing crimes.


There are fourteen Fantasies by Sor for solo guitar and four for two guitars. The composer's Romantic side is best shown in this genre. Some of the interesting issues around them will be discussed.
A native of South Korea, Yen Lee has been an active member in the guitar competition circuit, winning prizes and appearing in many major concert venues and music festivals, including Seoul Art Center, Sejong Art Center, Hoam Art Hall, Jeju Guitar Festival, and Busan Guitar Festival. In 2007, a music management company scouted Yen for the first guitar part of the Botticelli Guitar Quartet, which toured throughout Korea and recorded Vivaldi's The Four Seasons for Sony Classical.
After finishing her undergraduate studies at Seoul National University in 2010, Yen moved to New York City for further study and has performed in concerts at the New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes, the Upstate New York Guitar Festival, the New England Guitar Festival, Tenri Cultural Institute, The Morgan Library and Museum, the DiMenna Center, The Frick Collection, the Liszt Festival at Mannes, and the GFA Regional Symposium, among others. In 2013, she placed fourth in the Indiana International Guitar Competition. She also participated in the recording of the album Angelo Gilardino: A Salute from New York, released by Bèrben in 2014.
Yen is now pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at Manhattan School of Music. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Seoul National University and a Master of Music degree from Mannes College The New School for Music.

It's not surprising that Thailand attracts more people than any other country in Southeast Asia. Laos and Cambodia border the country to the east, to the south lies the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia and to the west you'll find the Andaman Sea and Myanmar. But Thailand's rich culture, hospitable people, delectable cuisine and inherent natural beauty make it a dream destination with something to offer most any kind visitors.
Innovative and dynamic International Schools in Thailand and Laos are seeking to appoint Early Years, Key Stage 1&2 and Secondary teachers join them.
Due to the high volume of applications, I am unable to respond to unsuccessful candidates.


There are few fashion brands that haven't either called on Cara Delevingne to front their campaigns, walk in their shows or wear their designs on the red carpet. Since her catwalk debut, aged 19, for Burberry's February 2011 show, her face has become one of the industry's most fêted and, subsequently, booked.
Since shifting her focus to acting, Cara's been more selective with her bookings. Chanel and Armani Exchange are amongst a slim handful for this season. So, when Cara touched back down in London we tasked the original Miss Vogue with showing us just how strong her fashion knowledge is.


Today's recipe Fried Garlic Salmon with a Couscous and Feta Salad.
Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan on medium heat, season with a little salt and a few grinds of black pepper. When the butter is fully melted, add half the garlic.
Slow fry the pepper, shallots, mushrooms, and tomatoes, placing them in the pan in that order, at 1 minute intervals.
When the veg is all cooked — should be 8-10 minutes, so the tomatoes have been in for 4-5 mins — remove them from the pan and leave them to cool.
Season the salmon fillets with a squirt of lemon juice, a grind of black pepper, and the remaining garlic.
Turn the frying pan heat to high, and add a dash of oil.
Place the salmon in the frying pan, skin side down, and leave to fry for 4-5 mins (the precise time will depend on the thickness of your fillets — you want the skin to cook, but not to crisp up and burn).
Turn off the frying pan heat, and turn the salmon fillets over, flesh side down. Leave them to cook in the oil's residual heat for 2-3 mins.
Time to start plating up! Cover the centre of each plate with a bed of mixed salad leaves (shred them if you like) and add the cooled cooked vegetables on top.
Lay the cooked salmon, skin down, on the salad bed. Place the feta chunks around the salmon.
By now the couscous should have absorbed all the water. Remove it from the pan with a spoon and place it in a ring around the salad bed.
This works well with jasmine rice instead of couscous, if preferred.
You can also substitute onions for shallots, but they may need longer to fry and won't be as sweet.
For a hint of Asian flavour, add a dash of your preferred soy sauce or shoyu to the pan oil before frying the salmon.

Whilst we're all awaiting the arrival of the Arctic Monkeys next serving 'Suck It And See', frontman Alex Turner thought he'd slip in the release of the six-track EP 'Sumarine'. The soundtrack for IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade's directional debut is truly breathtaking and sentimental as I'm sure the the film itself will be.

Music and demo downloads
We've finally got round the fixing the music demos on the download page. It's took us a while but they are now available. Have a play and you might find one or two gems in the unorganised chaos!
http://www.arctic-monkeys.com/music/
The fan site has become a bit of a deadweight for me. I've managed the site for nearly 5 years from it's inception right until the present day.
It's now time for change, possibly passing the baton to someone more equipped and more dedicated. Or, it could be run by you, the fans and visitors.
There's also the possiblilty of transforming this into an Arctic Monkeys portal.
Somewhere you come to blog, somewhere you come to discuss and somewhere to keep up with the latest band news, all automated, all current and up to date.
I'm looking for ideas from you all. You can comment and leave all your ideas on this forum or you can drop me an email by visiting http://www.arctic-monkeys.com/contact/ and leaving your thoughts.
Band on Jonathan Ross
The guys were on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross last night and you can see them in all their hairyness by using the BBC's iPlayer (UK only). They played two songs (starts on the 52nd minute), Cornerstone and Crying Lightning.

Muhammad Cartoons: Clash of Cultures
hdale
The interpretation of the outbreak of violence, demonstrations and mayhem in the Muslim world against the now famous 12 cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, inevitably has to be that it is the fulfillment of Samuel Huntington's prediction of the coming clash of civilizations.
On the one hand, starkly stand the secular culture and liberal democracies of Europe, and in particular Scandinavia, where freedom of expression reigns, including the right to caricature religion — Christianity and Islam alike. Having experienced "art works" like Andres Seranno's "Piss Christ," Americans are not unfamiliar with the phenomenon of offense caused to religious sensibilities in the name of freedom of expression.
On the other hand, we have the Muslim world's outrage at any insult to the prophet Muhammad, which has now been fanned by radical forces into a violent frenzy. Arab governments are boycotting Danish products. Iraq is boycotting Danish reconstruction aid. In Syria, the Norwegian and Danish embassies have been torched. Death, decapitation and mutilation are threatened against blasphemers, Danes in particular, by crowds from the Palestinian Authority to Syria to Indonesia.
This series of events could be the wakeup call that Europe has been waiting for since September 11, when Americans found that war had been declared on this country by al Qaeda and its ilk. And of course, that could be a silver lining we should perhaps be thankful for in the midst of all this mayhem. A cherished European principle and a fundamental aspect of liberal democracy are under attack, and Europeans have finally found a voice. "We are all Danes now," a European newspaper in Brussels proclaimed. Good for them.
The various subtexts at once indicate, however, that the story is a little more complicated than this, and, yet also, that a real clash of civilizations is taking place on many levels. One has to applaud the stand taken by European media and governments like the Danish against the efforts to encroach on their constitutional freedoms. Yet, the cherished freedom of expression that has made numerous European papers republish the cartoons and that caused political leaders to speak out against the Muslim efforts to have them censor their media has been eroded grievously in Europe by the forces of political correctness in recent decades.
Other controversial subjects, such as homosexuality, gay marriage, women's rights or abortion, are not accorded the same protection in terms of free speech, and are all but taboo in public discussion. In other words, the issues that Europe's secular societies have come to hold dear are certainly not open to the same debate as is religion, a subject not held in terribly high regard by most in Europe today.
Interestingly also, Europe's own Muslim populations, who perhaps are assimilating more than they realize, have not responded in the same way as the rioting mobs and embassy burners in the Middle East. They are after all enjoying the protection, living standards and freedoms guaranteed by European states. In Denmark, local Muslims have begun speaking out in solidarity with their adopted country. Many want their children to grow up as Danes, with all the prosperity and opportunity that affords.
Meanwhile, the riots in the Middle East coincided roughly with the elections in the Palestinian Authority, which brought to power the terrorist organization Hamas. Now, the six-month-old Danish cartoons seem to have been an occasion for radicalizing the population, and have certainly also been exploited that way by governments in other countries like Syria. In support of this idea is the fact that depictions of Muhammad have been around for centuries, in Islamic manuscripts and elsewhere. There is absolutely no reason why the reaction should be so violent to images published a faraway country in a newspaper most of the rioters have never seen — unless there is a political advantage to be had in whipping up wrath against the West.
In this clash of cultures, the United States has found it disappointingly hard to find a voice. This is despite the fact that Denmark has stood steadfastly with the United States and is one of the few allies in Iraq that has been there form the beginning, never once threatening to pull back its troops. The State Department's immediate reaction was mealy-mouthed, "We fully recognize and respect freedom of the press and expression, but it must be coupled with press responsibility. Inciting religious hatred in this manner is not acceptable." This is not the way to stand by a good ally under fire.

For a test that has a large enough number of test takers, the marks distribution will be a normal curve as shown.
A real story: When Sunitha's parents were visiting her in Bangalore, she wanted a driver who could show them around the city. She hired one after asking him these questions: "Do you know the route to MG Road , Lalbagh and Forum?" and "Do you have a valid driver's license?" Both of which criteria, of course, the driver satisfied. The second day on the job, he met with a road accident injuring both parents. A classic example of evaluation gone wrong; it tested the stated objective but was not completely relevant. Most tests created "in-house" are ad-hoc. The creator of the test tries is usually always looking to come up with 'clever' or 'difficult' questions rather than trying to identify the skills that need to be tested by a question.
A typical campus written test of 1 hour has 40 multiple-choice questions with a cut-off around 18 marks. Now, consider a candidate who knows the answers to 11 questions and gets another 7 right through sheer guess work. At the interview stage, questions from any given panel tend to repeat across interviews. If this candidate is interviewed towards the end of the line-up, s/he could clear this process because of access to historical information.
To prevent guess work, typical tests (including CAT) penalise a test taker with negative marks for wrong attempts. Negative marks are awarded for each wrong attempt and are a fraction of the marks awarded for the right answers. This system is inherently flawed. To begin with, no attempt is made to differentiate between a student who actually solves the question and gets a wrong answer and a guess maker. Seconly, the resources (ex:time) used by a test-taker are not taken into consideration. For example, a test-taker who attempts 20 questions and gets 4 wrong and a test-taker who attempts 40 questions to get 4 wrong are penalised equally, whereas the first test taker had the luxury of more time per question compared to the second one. pH Test uses a handicap based negative marking approach to address such issues. Read more about pH test's pioneering methodologies.
Typically, the test format or question types are extremely predictable for a company. A candidate could prepare for such an exam over a long period of time utilizing historic data and clear the evaluation. In an endorsement of the phenomenon, the IITs recently identified prolonged preparation by candidates as a reason for the falling quality of intake.

I just recently repaired my quad. And it's not that I am afraid that I am going to kill it.. well that's part of it, but there is snow on the ground and it is very soggy and wet out, but it's not just that... I would go outside in my driveway where there is a bit of snow free ground that I could easily launch and land from, but because I do not quite trust my repair yet I think I am going to wait. The reason is just out of caution.. I am afraid that if my repair does not hold my quad will fly out of control and end up hitting one of my neighbors homes or vehicles... Don't want to "Ruin the Hobby". I did a quick hover test last night, and everything was fine.. but I just don't trust it quite yet. Of course I could always walk through the snow a mile into the woods and fly in the field I usually fly, but talk about snow soggy and wet... it's a disaster waiting to happen. So... I will wait until the snow melts and the ground dries out a bit. Sure I could waterproof my drone but honestly we do not get a lot of snow around here, just a few inches here and there and I really don't feel like putting in the effort. So as I said.. I will wait until its a bit drier... But I REALLY want to fly! Ugh!..
Whats up folks and welcome to my first blog! If you don't know who I am, allow me to introduce myself. I am Dennis Bosher AKA TripleCap AKA CAP. I am a designer, gamer and FPV drone pilot. I have been into computers for most of my life, which lead me to a carreer in graphic design. That carreer allowed me to afford a couple hobbies like gaming and FPV flying. I have been a gamer for as long as I can remember and only recently have put it aside to focus on my new passion of FPV Flight. I have a Youtube account with over 250 videos. I upload at least once a week but usually much more frequently than that. I try to fly every day and I usually document every flight with a video. If I am not uploading a video its because I didn't fly that day. However many times even if I don't fly, I will try to find a reason to upload something. It's not that I have a ton of fans or anything, I just enjoy sharing my experiences with the world.
As of this moment I am gronded due to several inches of snow that has fallen over the last few hours, but don't expect that to hold me back. Chances are I will find some way to share an experience in some form or another.. Come to think of it, this blog is serving that purpose right now.


Some people live in the same place their entire lives. Others choose to migrate in search of greater opportunities - economic, educational, or other. Many other people are forced to migrate, oftentimes displaced by disasters be they natural or man-made that require them to seek refuge and start over elsewhere.
But here's the thing: there are still others for whom displacement is a way of life.
Such is the reality of many young people in post-war Liberia. They live their lives in transition, constantly being shuffled among extended family members, thereby creating a situation of ongoing threats to child safety, slow academic and social development, and increased strain on caregivers.
Displacement in Liberia began in 1989, when the first of two civil wars broke out. The armed conflicts in Liberia brought 14 years of displacement to the country. For the young people of Liberia, the displacement continues.
What are the long-term effects of recurrent displacement on childhood and youth development? What measures can be taken to provide stability in the face of the ongoing displacement crisis for the post-war generation in Liberia?
The following paper, Life in Transition, discusses the thorny issue of recurrent displacement and explores how education can serve as a departure point for providing stability, skills, and improved welfare for post-war displaced youth as exemplified by the work of community-based organization More Than Me in Monrovia, Liberia.


Our pricing is customized based on your vertical and customer base. We work with you to develop a go to market strategy that will win you more business. 2.90% + $.30 is not always the answer.
Yes! Increase your CLTV overnight. We also have custom enterprise level plans for platforms doing more than $100m in annual credit card volume.
We are working hard to make integration as easy as possible. We have a very simple and customizable iframe for transactions and easy API's for reporting. We also have a merchant facing portal if you want us to handle it all. We haven't publically released our API's yet but they are coming.
What payment methods can we accept?
Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and ACH.
How does the deposit of funds to merchant work?
We control the remittance of funds. Settlement funds come to our clearing account then we disperse to the merchants.
Are fees taken out daily from deposits?
We can remove fees daily or monthly. Lots of options here and you're involved in the decision.
Do you charge the merchant or do we for fees?
We do. This could include fees for your services as well.
At minimum, you would need to develop to our transaction api and add a button to your app that links to our onboarding process. Then, setup a webhook to receive the sub account information from us and the circle is complete.
Does my company need to be U.S. based?
No, but your merchants will need to be U.S. based. International processing is on the roadmap though.
Transfer data from other gateway?
Yes, if your current gateway is willing to provide the credit card info in an encrypted method we can transfer to our gateway.
Any company that accepts credit card payments is required to be PCI compliant. This could be as simple as completing an annual questionnaire. Our transaction API will keep you out of scope for PCI Level 1 as no card data will pass through your servers.
Can I white label your platform?
This is possible if you want to register as a payment facilitator. We can walk you through the registration process with our bank partners.
What makes you better than Stripe?
We love Stripe. They've blazed the trail with online payments. We are small and nimble enough to be able to take a custom approach with our clients to help them implement a fantastic digital payment experience for their customers.
Lots of very neat features. We don't want to say too much as our competitors are listening.
Can you do card present?
Working to solve this problem as we speak. It will be in 2019.
We will take our test client live in February. After successful testing we would move to a Beta stage in March, April, and May with a full launch in June 2019.

Q: Does scala support one default clause for many pattern matching? Consider a code below:
val first = ...
val second = ...
val third = ...
val fours = ...

first match {
  case "someString" => second match {
    case s:String => third match {
      case MyEnum.A => //some logic
      case MyEnum.B => fours match {
        case Some(old:String) => //some other logic
        case default=> defaulLogic
      }
      case default=> defaulLogic
    }
    case default=> defaulLogic
  }
  case default=> defaulLogic
}

private def defaulLogic()= {
    //log error here
}

Is there a way to put case default logic into one place instead of duplicating it in every pattern matching?
Note
There are only a top of match-case statments, actually there are more cases.

A: I would rewrite the code to make it easier to read:
(first, second, third, fours) match {
  case ("something", s: String, MyEnum.A, _) => //some logic
  case ("something", s: String, MyEnum.B, Some(old)) => //some other logic
  case _ => defaulLogic
}

If you write it this way, the default case will be written in a more natural way.

A: Not the most elegant idea, but...
try {
  first match {
    case "someString" => second match {
      case s:String => third match {
        case MyEnum.A => //some logic
        case MyEnum.B => fours match {
          case Some(old:String) => //some other logic
        }
      }
    }
  }
} catch {
  case me : MatchError => defaultLogic
}

A: This is a bit more elegant :)
Try{
  first match {
    case "someString" => second match {
    case s:String => third match {
      case MyEnum.A => //some logic
      case MyEnum.B => fours match {
        case Some(old:String) => //some other logic
      }
    }
  }
}.getOrElse(defaultLogic)

Antwerp university threat message: youngster apprehended, but released
The university of Antwerp (UAntwerpen) received an e-mail yesterday talking about an armed attack. A similar message was shared on social media. Police arrested a youngster, but he was released after he had been questioned.
Michaël Torfs
Tue 26 Nov 2019 10:07
The threat message was first sent by e-mail, but also popped up on social media. Police considered the case serious enough to start an investigation. They visited the university campus "Drie Eiken" in Wilrijk, first to inform everyone.
Safety measures were introduced later on, when nobody was allowed on the site and the people in the building had to stay inside. Everyone was allowed home around 4.30 p.m.
An 18-year-old suspect was arrested in his car on Linkeroever and taken in for questioning late yesterday, after it turned out he owned the account from which the threat message was sent. The youngster was being questioned for quite a while, but there was not enough evidence that he sent the message. He was released later on. The judicial authorities say there are no indications that the threat is still concrete at present.
