I am Alex and I am fond of long trips in the outdoors. Indeed I have travelled from France to Africa and South America by bike during one year (2002) and rode by horse from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan (2009) during 5 months.
We started from the very first idea that Bertrand had drawn in the past. Later, we changed it completely and progressively we achieved what we wanted: the Voltmaker a fun and eco-friendly portable charger that allows anyone to recharge any low-power electronic device, such as smartphones or MP3 players when he or she is in the outdoors with no electricity miles around.
You can see in the attached file how the design has changed from the very first idea Bertrand had before we even talked about the project.
It was made for my next trip and it had been imagined by Bertrand. Later two other friends came on board to develop the product.
We have been working hard these past two years to make it happen and I would love if you could give us some help by telling your readers about our project.


Next week I will be attending the 2012 UNITY convention in Las Vegas. UNITY is a convention held every four years by a coalition of several diversity journalism organizations: Asian American Journalists Association, National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, National Association of Hispanic Journalists, and the Native American Journalists Association. I am really looking forward to moderating a panel of HR and recruiting professionals while I'm there. Among the panelists, there is a combined 40+ years of recruiting experience. The panelists are Jen Hanlon Ash from American Public Media, Brent Jones from USA Today, and Brooke Camp from CNN. The panel discussion will be focused on career and job search advice for journalists. The abstract is below. Landing Your First Gig: Everything you need to know about internships and getting your first job. Learn why internships matter and how they set the stage for your career and for your first full-time journalism job.
Well, that was the original abstract. We decided that we'll broaden the discussion to include advice for entry to mid-level job seekers as well. In advance of the panel session, we're soliciting questions from attendees. Some of the questions had me thinking about my own career and the advice I've received along the way. I then thought about my network and wondered what career advice and wisdom a bunch of HR professionals might impart to someone early in their career. Well, I imagine if you're reading this you're likely in the HR/Recruiting/Talent space or at least curious about it. If you're not in HR and you're reading this, that's awesome and thanks for reading. I'm hoping to gather job search / career advice from all backgrounds in the comments below. I'll start.
I've been fortunate to have some great mentors throughout my career and I gave props to several of them in my first Amplify Talent post - And So It Begins, With Gratitude. I have a hard time singling out any one piece of advice as 'the best', but here's one I've been thinking about a lot lately: "never ask for less than you need to do a great job." My recall may be altering that quote a bit from it's original form, but that advice came from John Vlastelica, who runs Recruiting Toolbox, at this year's SHRM National conference. John's a "recruiter's recruiter." He's smart, plugged into what's going on in the talent market, has strategery (yes I just used strategery) and vision, and has a style that's very relatable. His advice is something I know most recruiters and HR pros struggle with; as we're often asked to take on a multitude of projects and initiatives. It's a good reminder for me that you shouldn't commit to anything you don't have the resources to execute well.
Okay, now it's your turn. What career advice have you received that stands out, or has been on your mind lately?
Note: I'll be in Las Vegas most of next week so will likely break my self-imposed weekly posting schedule. I'll be back to regular postings the following week. If you're interested you can follow the Twitter back-channel Thursday 8/2 10:30-Noon PST at #1stGig.

The maroon carpet of the ballroom reminded me of drying blood.
Booths ringed the outside walls and formed a back-to-back row down the center of the room. Some sat empty, with business cards and leaflets full of promises strewn on the table. Others had people behind them looking hopefully at the handful of folks at the coffee station.
I poured myself a cup, dosed it liberally with cream and surveyed the wreckage.
I knew most of the companies. I had visited a new gold discovery, up in the mountains in Mexico, with a team from one of the companies. The CEO sat at his booth staring at his phone.
I know that this gold discovery could easily lead to the acquisition of his company … and tack a zero onto the market value.
The booths held some of the best junior natural resource companies in the world. These are the companies that find gold, copper, silver, etc. The deposits that become tomorrow's mines. They represent big risks and big rewards. From 2009 to 2011, the index more than quadrupled.
Juniors are the tiny companies, usually below $100 million in market value, that populate the Toronto Venture Index (TSX-V).
This group spent the five-year bear market from 2011 to 2016 falling. No one wanted them. By the time the sector found a bottom, there were companies that traded below the value of the cash in their bank accounts.
They bottomed late in 2015 and rallied into 2017. But they've spent most of this year in decline. The whole index is down 17% so far in 2018.
In the chart, the orange line shows the index value, and the blue line shows the volume of shares traded. The last time the volume was this low was back in January 2016.
The companies themselves are in good shape. Most of them have plenty of money. Most of the companies in the room had actual projects. Summer is the time these companies create value through exploration and drilling.
The problem is, no one cares right now.
It could be the trade war, the tiff with Iran or extended summer vacation. Whatever the reason, investors don't care about junior mining stocks.
As I told the readers of my Front Line Profits advisory service, this is a buying opportunity. We own a portfolio of companies with real discoveries, like the company in Mexico.
Right now, these companies are becoming more valuable and less expensive.
Today the market doesn't care, but it will soon. And we'll be there to sell it shares at much higher prices.

HDFC masala bond issue credit positive: Moody's
In addition to the standalone credit assessment of the issuer, Moody's said masala bond investors would consider market liquidity, currency volatility and transaction costs.PTI | July 19, 2016, 17:00 IST
NEW DELHI: HDFC Ltd's issue of Rs 3,000 crore rupee-denominated bond in overseas market is credit positive as it will help determine benchmark pricing for potential issuers including PSUs like IRFC, REC and PFC, Moody's Investors Service said today.
Last week housing finance major HDFC said it has raised Rs 3,000 crore through these rupee-denominated bonds or masala bonds. These bonds are instruments through which Indian entities can raise funds by accessing overseas capital markets, while the bond investors hold the currency risk.
"The issuance is credit positive as it will help to setup benchmark pricing for other potential issuers, particularly Non-Bank Finance Companies (NBFCs) and Government Related Issuers (GRIs)," Moody's said.
In addition to the standalone credit assessment of the issuer, Moody's said masala bond investors would consider market liquidity, currency volatility and transaction costs.
"We also expect wholesale-funded GRIs -- such as Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC), Power Finance Corporation (PFC), and Rural Electrification Corporation (REC)-- to consider issuing such bonds as an alternative funding channel," Moody's said.
International Financial Corporation and Asian Development Bank have already issued masala bonds, Moody's said, adding we expect the market to deepen further with more issuers following HDFC's issuance.
The development of masala bond market will help other NBFCs diversify their funding sources, a key credit weakness for Indian NBFCs.
As regulatory restrictions prevent NBFCs from accepting current and saving deposits, companies are reliant on expensive and less granular funding from wholesale markets and institutional investors.
"Given that banks are a key source of funding for these entities the proposed limitations could become a significant constraint on their balance sheet growth, unless these NBFCs and large corporates manage to find alternative funding sources," Moody's said.
In September 2015, the RBI issued guidelines allowing Indian corporates, NBFCs, real estate investment trusts and infrastructure investment trusts to issue such bonds.
These masala bonds -- although denominated in Indian rupees -- are listed on the international market and offered and settled in US dollars, providing easier access for foreign investors.
"For the issuers, masala bonds offer an alternative source of funding, given the limited depth in the domestic bond market," Moody's said.
The rupee has depreciated by about 5.3 per cent on a year-on-year basis, allaying some investor concerns about emerging market currency risk at a time when financing conditions have become less favorable for many developing countries, it added.

Beninese people protest against alleged election fraud, 2011
February, 2011 to April, 2011
Nikki Richards, 23/09/2012
In 2011, the Independent Electoral Commission of Benin organized a new electronic voting system for the upcoming presidential election, which would require voters to be pre-registered in order to fill out their ballots. The Commission registered people by going door to door in 77 different Beninese counties. This method didn't prove to be effective enough however, as around 1.3 million Beninese citizens were still not registered to vote. Many questioned the credibility of the voters role when such a large number of voters were unregistered by the end of February (close to election time).
French West African railway workers strike for greater benefits, 1947-1948
October 10, 1947 to March 19, 1948
Aurora Muñoz, 12/11/2009
In 1946, a general strike in Dakar (with the exception of railway workers) guaranteed wage increases, family allowances for government workers, the recognition of unions, the expansion of wage hierarchies, and bonuses for seniority. In 1947, 164 cases of collective conflicts were reported to the Inspection du Travail; most dealt with wage disputes and were settled without incident. In that year, 133 unions in the public sector and 51 in the private had been recognized. The Fédération Syndicale des Cheminots (Railway Workers Union) was one of these autonomous and recognized unions.
Beninese campaign for economic justice and democracy, 1989-90
9 January, 1989 to April, 1990
Benin gained its independence from France in 1960 and was then named Dahomey. Colonel Mathieu Kérékou took power of the country in a coup in 1972 and later renamed the country the People's Republic of Benin, organized the economy under a Marxist-Leninist ideology, and outlawed all political parties except his People's Revolutionary Party of Benin. By the 1980s, Kérékou remained as the president of Benin, but the economy was failing. The government had to lower government aid to students and the salaries for civil servants and in 1988 the state owned banks crashed. Fa

Q: Use javascript to write CSS specificity function I need to write a javascript function, which compares two arguments passed in.  They will be strings.  And represent CSS classes.
The aim of the function, is to weight CSS specificity.  So if an argument passed in, is a CSS ID, it should be returned rather than the second argument.  (EG if a = '#id', it will beat b = '.red').
Kinda getting lost on the best approach for my javascript function.  Not sure whether to use if/else statements or switch/case.  Either way, it's getting messy and need some pointers.
Here's what I'm trying to do:

*

*compare argument a to b, which both are strings.

*If a css class entered is an id, (eg '#id'), this trumps all other css classes.  So return this.

*if css class is a tagname, an ID still beats this. So return the ID.

*If '*' is entered, this has no specificity, so any other class beats this.

*A class selector beats a tagname. (eg div.red > p).
// '*' weakest - anything beats this
// tagname beats '*'. EG 'div' beats '*'
// 2 tagnames beats 1 tagname - EG 'div div' beats 'p'
// class selector beats tagname - EG 'div.red' beats 'div'
// id is strongest #id - '#ID' beats all the above

function compare(a,b){

  const low = '*';
  const tagname = /^[a-zA-Z]+$/;
  const twoTagnames = /^[a-zA-Z\s]*$/;

  if (a === low) {
    a < b;
    return b;
  } else (b === low); {
    b < a;
    return a;
  }

  if (a.includes('#')) {
    a < b;
    return b;
 } else if (b.includes('#')) {
    b < a;
   return a;
 }

}

compare('*','#id');

A: I ran into this exact question recently during a job interview and I was able to figure it out like so:
function compare(a, b) {
  let aItems = a.split([" "]);
  let aRating = [0, 0, 0];

  aItems.forEach((i) => {
    if (i.split("#").length > 1) {
      aRating[0] = aRating[0] + (i.split("#").length - 1);
    }

    if (i.split(".").length > 1) {
      aRating[1] = aRating[1] + (i.split(".").length - 1);
    }

    if (!i.startsWith("#") && !i.startsWith(".")) {
      aRating[2] = aRating[2] + 1;
    }
  });

  let bItems = b.split([" "]);
  let bRating = [0, 0, 0];

  bItems.forEach((i) => {
    if (i.split("#").length > 1) {
      bRating[0] = bRating[0] + (i.split("#").length - 1);
    }

    if (i.split(".").length > 1) {
      bRating[1] = bRating[1] + (i.split(".").length - 1);
    }

    if (!i.startsWith("#") && !i.startsWith(".")) {
      bRating[2] = bRating[2] + 1;
    }
  });

  if (aRating[0] > bRating[0]) {
    return a;
  } else if (bRating[0] > aRating[0]) {
    return b;
  }

  if (aRating[1] > bRating[1]) {
    return a;
  } else if (bRating[1] > aRating[1]) {
    return b;
  } else if (
    bRating[0] === aRating[0] &&
    bRating[2] === 0 &&
    aRating[2] === 0
  ) {
    return b;
  }

  if (aRating[2] > bRating[2]) {
    return a;
  } else if (bRating[2] > aRating[2]) {
    return b;
  }
}

There is one issue though, say you are comparing tagnames (ie, html, body where the more specific, the higher the specificity), then you might have some difficulty. I was able to hack my way through it string of if else tests.

I just purchased a Sony ICD MX-20 Digiital Volce Recorder with Sony Digital Voice Editor (DVE) software version 2.3.1 and Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS) version 8. The device works well but the software is frustrating me. I've installed the DVE 2.3.1 on a PC with Windows XP SP 2 and am having setup problems. My model (IDC MX-20) does not appear in the drop down list of "models" and and I am unable to get files (podcasts) from my PC to the device. The manuals aren't much help; I've had some luck with websites. Per advice found on the web I am logged on as administrator when loading the software but can't get the Sony software to work. What am I doing wrong? I would appreciate any help. By the way, I haven't set up DNS 8 yet.
I'm having the same problem. My computer won't recognize the ICD-MX20 and the software doesn't list my model, so I can't use it with my computer. I'm having the same problem. My computer won't recognize the ICD-MX20 and the software doesn't list my model, so I can't use it with my computer.

Q: Probability that $3$ hands of a clock in the same semi-circle? I am wondering how to calculate the probability that $3$ hands of a clock are in the same semi-circle ? I know a similar question is that if we randomly choose n points in a circle, then the probability that all of them in the same semi-circle will be $n/2^{(n-1)}$ with $n = 3$.
But when it comes to the dial hands, where I guess there are correlations between them, I am not sure whether my question is equivalent to the previous one.
If they are not equivalent, and this question will be hard to calculate, then whether we can determinate this probability will be greater or smaller than $3/4$?
Anyone can help? Thanks.

A: The hands in fact move deterministically; it is just the time when we view them that can be random. The movement repeats ever twelve hours, so assume we view the hands at some moment uniformly distributed between noon and midnight. Then the probability they will be within a semicircle is the number of hours they spend in a semicircle, divided by $12.$
Starting at noon, the hands are within one semicircle until the second hand is opposite the hour hand. The second hand makes $12\times 60 = 720$ revolutions in $12$ hours while the hour hand makes one revolution in the same time,
so the time until the second and hour hands first align after noon is $12/719$ hour,
which is $720/719$ minutes;
but the time from noon until the hands are exactly opposite is half that time,
$360/719$ minute.
For a short time after the first $360/719$ minute, the hands are not within a semicircle. They are in a semicircle again starting at the instant when the second hand is opposite the minute hand.
The second hand aligns with the minute hand for the first time after noon at
$60/59$ minutes after noon, so the first time they are opposite is at
$30/59$ minute after noon.
Let $t_h = 360/719$ and $t_m = 30/59,$
and let's take the convention that "at time $t$" means at $t$ minutes past noon.
So the first time interval when the hands are not in a semicircle
starts at $t_h$ and ends at $t_m.$ The length of this interval is $t_m - t_h$ minutes;
specifically, the time during which the hands are continuously not in a semicircle,
in minutes, is
$$
\frac{30}{59} - \frac{360}{719} = \frac{330}{42421}.
$$
The second such time interval starts at $3t_h$ and ends at $3t_m$ for
$3(t_m - t_h)$ minutes not in a semicircle,
the third starts at $5t_h$ and ends at $5t_m$, and so forth as long as the minute hand remains less than $180$ degrees clockwise from the hour hand.
This is a promising pattern: after $n$ intervals like this, we will have spent a total of
$n^2(t_m - t_h)$ minutes during which the hands do not fit in a semicircle.
Alas, the full solution is not that simple.
The intervals increase in length until they are almost half a minute long,
and then this simple pattern is broken.
The minute hand first becomes exactly opposite the hour hand at $6/11$ hour after noon,
that is, at $360/11$ minutes after noon.
Shortly before that, at $65t_h$ minutes, the second hand passes opposite to the hour hand, making the hands not within a semicircle;
but at $360/11$ minutes after noon the second hand is suddenly finds itself between the minute and hour hands so that the hands are all within a semicircle again,
even though $65t_m$ minutes have not yet passed.
After this abbreviated interval of not-in-a-semicircle time,
the next interval is almost half a minute long, and the next several intervals decrease in length. But once they have decreased enough, they start increasing again, and the pattern repeats but with different intervals each time as the relative position of the second hand is different each time the minute hand overtakes the hour hand or comes opposite to it.
At about this point in the analysis I decided I would rather have a computer count the time for me. The events where the hands start fitting in a semicircle or stop fitting in a semicircle all occur at exact integer multiples of
either $1/11,$ $1/59,$ or $1/719$ minute after noon.
Since those fractions have a common denominator of
$11\times 59\times 719 = 466631,$
every event of interest (where the hands start or stop being within a semicircle) occurs at some multiple of $1/466631$ minute after noon.
By taking $720\times 466631$ equal timesteps of that length we cover twelve hours.
At the start of each timestep we know from the relative positions of the three hands whether the hands will fit in a semicircle or not during that timestep. (It is one way for the entire duration of the timestep.)
I wrote the analysis in the python script shown below.
I had the script count the first six hours, take a checkpoint, and then do the last six hours. Everything after $6$ o'clock is a mirror image of what happened before, in reverse order, so the same sequence of lengths of intervals occurs in reverse order after $6$ o'clock. I had the script record the start, end, and duration of each interval to verify this. Note that since each interval starts about a minute after the previous one, there are almost $360$ intervals in six hours, but not quite $360$ due to the way the hands "catch up" with each other.
According to my script, it takes
$720\times 11\times 59\times 719 = 335974320$
timesteps to complete twelve hours, and during $83982960$ of those timesteps the three hands do not fit within a semicircle. The proportion of time not in a semicircle is therefore
$$
\frac{83982960}{335974320} = \frac{1977}{7909} \approx 0.2499683904412694.
$$
So the probability that the hands are not within a semicircle is almost, but not quite, $1/4$;
the probability that they are within a semicircle is therefore slightly over $3/4.$

To relate these calculations to G Cab's method, let $x$ be the number of units of $12/11$ hour since noon (that is, $x$ is $0$ at noon and $11$ at midnight). If $k = \lfloor x\rfloor$ (an integer),
then for each $k$ (that is, for each period of $12/11$ hour) there are two sequences of intervals during which the three hands are not within a semicircle.
During the first half of this period, while the angle from the hour hand to the minute hand is between $0$ and $180$ degrees clockwise, the three hands are not in a semicircle whenever
$$
m + \frac12 \leq \frac{15(2k)}{22} + \frac{719}{11} \tau < m + \frac12 + \tau
$$
for some integer $m,$ where $\tau = x - k,$ and during the second half of this period, while the angle from the minute hand to the hour hand is between $0$ and $180$ degrees clockwise, the three hands are not in a semicircle when
$$
n + \tau \leq \frac{15(2k + 1)}{22} + \frac{719}{11} \tau < n + \frac12
$$
for some integer $n,$ where $\tau = x - k - \frac12.$
In either case we also have the restriction that $0 \leq \tau < \frac12.$
In the typical case, the beginning or end of an interval occurs when one of the inequalities becomes an equation; the exceptions occur when the equation is true only for $\tau < 0$ or $\tau > \frac12$.
Solving these equations for $\tau,$ we find
$$\tau = \frac{11}{719} \left(m + \frac12 - \frac{15(2k)}{22}\right)\tag1$$
at the start and
$$\tau = \frac{11}{708} \left(m + \frac12 - \frac{15(2k)}{22}\right)\tag2$$
at the end of a typical interval in the first sequence, but
$$\tau = \frac{11}{708} \left(n - \frac{15(2k+1)}{22}\right)\tag3$$
at the start and
$$\tau = \frac{11}{719} \left(n + \frac12 - \frac{15(2k+1)}{22}\right)\tag4$$
at the end of one in the second sequence.
The length of the first interval (in the same units as $\tau$)
is therefore
\begin{align}
\Delta\tau_1
&= \frac{11}{708} \left(m + \frac12 - \frac{15(2k)}{22}\right)
   - \frac{11}{719} \left(m + \frac12 - \frac{15(2k)}{22}\right) \\
&= \frac{121}{708(719)} \left(m - \frac{30k - 11}{22}\right)
\end{align}
and the length of the second interval is
\begin{align}
\Delta\tau_2
&= \frac{11}{719} \left(n + \frac12 - \frac{15(2k+1)}{22}\right)
   - \frac{11}{708} \left(n - \frac{15(2k+1)}{22}\right) \\
&= \frac{121}{708(719)} \left(\frac{30k + 723}{22} - n\right)
\end{align}
The combined length of two intervals, one from each sequence, is
\begin{align}
\Delta\tau_1 + \Delta\tau_2
&= \frac{121}{708(719)} \left(m - \frac{30k - 11}{22}\right)
 + \frac{121}{708(719)} \left(\frac{30k + 723}{22} - n\right) \\
&= \frac{11}{708(719)} \left(367 + 11(m - n)\right) \\
\end{align}
If we hold $m - n$ constant, $\Delta\tau_1 + \Delta\tau_2$
is independent of the value of $m$ as long as all of the $\tau$ values from which we computed $\Delta\tau_1$ and $\Delta\tau_2$ are between $0$ and $\frac12.$
For example, if we set $n = m$, we get a pairing of intervals in which each pair of intervals has total length $\frac{11(367)}{708(719)}$ except in some cases where an interval starts at $\tau=0$ or ends at $\tau=\frac12$ or where an interval has no corresponding interval in the other sequence.
Trial and error shows that if we set $n=m+1$ we minimize the number of intervals that are unmatched or that are in a pair where one interval ends at $\tau=0$ or $\tau=\frac12$ instead of where the equations above say it will
(there are $14$ such intervals);
each matched pair then has total length
$\frac{11(367-11)}{708(719)} = \frac{11(89)}{3(59)(719)}$
in the units of $\tau.$
This is equal to $\frac{356}{59(719)}$ hour,
which is $234960$ timesteps of the brute-force method.
According to my spreadsheet calculations, if $n = m+1$ there are $32$ matched pairs of intervals for each value of $k.$ since there are $11$ values of $k,$ the total time in intervals that belong to typical matched pairs is
$352 \times 234960$ timesteps. It then remains to account for the $14$ intervals that are not in typical matched pairs.
Those intervals can be identified for each $k$ by finding the maximum $m$ such that right-hand side of Equation $(1)$ is negative
and the minimum $n$ such that the right-hand side of Equation $(4)$
is greater than $\frac12.$
A relatively quick hand calculation should therefore be possible, though it would still be longer than I would like to write in detail in this answer.
Update: The calculations are not as long as I feared after all, as shown in G Cab's edited answer.

Here is the script for the brute-force method:

A: Let's denote by $\omega$ the angular speeds, so
$$
\left\{ \matrix{
  \omega _{\,h}  = {{2\pi } \over {12h}} = {{2\pi } \over {12 \cdot 3600}}s^{\, - 1}  \hfill \cr
  \omega _{\,m}  = {{2\pi } \over h} = {{2\pi } \over {3600}}s^{\, - 1}  \hfill \cr
  \omega _{\,s}  = {{2\pi } \over m} = {{2\pi } \over {60}}s^{\, - 1}  \hfill \cr}  \right.
\quad  \Rightarrow \quad \left\{ \matrix{
  \omega _{\,m}  - \omega _{\,h}  = 11\;\omega _{\,h}  \hfill \cr
  \omega _{\,s}  - \omega _{\,h}  = 719\;\omega _{\,h}  \hfill \cr}  \right.
$$
Clearly we are interested in the relative angles
$$
\left\{ \matrix{
  \alpha _{\,m}  = \left( {\omega _{\,m}  - \omega _{\,h} } \right)t\,
\quad \left( {\bmod 2\pi } \right)\quad  \Rightarrow \quad
 \rho _{\,m}  = {{\alpha _{\,m} } \over {2\pi }}
 = \left\{ {11{{\omega _{\,h} \,t} \over {2\pi }}} \right\}\, \hfill \cr
  \alpha _{\,s}  = \left( {\omega _{\,s}  - \omega _{\,h} } \right)t\,
\quad \left( {\bmod 2\pi } \right)\quad  \Rightarrow \quad
 \rho _{\,s}  = {{\alpha _{\,s} } \over {2\pi }}
 = \left\{ {719{{\omega _{\,h} \,t} \over {2\pi }}} \right\} \hfill \cr}  \right.
$$
The hands will be on the same half circle when
$$
\left\{ \matrix{
  0 \le \alpha _{\,m}  < \pi  \hfill \cr
  0 \le \alpha _{\,s}  < \pi \; \vee  \hfill \cr
  \;\pi  + \alpha _{\,m}  \le \alpha _{\,s}  < 2\pi  \hfill \cr}  \right.\;\;
 \vee \;\;\left\{ \matrix{
  \pi  \le \alpha _{\,m}  < 2\pi  \hfill \cr
  \pi  \le \alpha _{\,s}  < 2\pi \; \vee \; \hfill \cr
  0 \le \alpha _{\,s}  < \alpha _{\,m}  - \pi  \hfill \cr}  \right.
$$
or more simply they will not be so when
$$
\left\{ \matrix{
  0 \le \alpha _{\,m}  < \pi  \hfill \cr
  \pi  \le \alpha _{\,s}  < \pi  + \alpha _{\,m} \; \hfill \cr}  \right.\;\;
 \vee \;\;\left\{ \matrix{
  \pi  \le \alpha _{\,m}  < 2\pi  \hfill \cr
  \alpha _{\,m}  - \pi  \le \alpha _{\,s}  < \pi \; \hfill \cr}  \right.
$$
The cycle will endure $12$ h, that is
$$
0 \le {{\omega _{\,h} \,t} \over {2\pi }} < 1
$$
and let's put
$$
11{{\omega _{\,h} \,t} \over {2\pi }} = k + x\quad \left| \matrix{
  \;0 \le k \in \mathbb Z \le 10 \hfill \cr
  \;0 \le x \in \mathbb R < 1 \hfill \cr}  \right.
$$
Then using  $[  ]$ to denote the Iverson bracket
and $\overline K (k,x)$ to denote the indicator function of the "forbidden" area, we get
$$
\eqalign{
  & \overline K (k,x)\quad \left| \matrix{
  \;0 \le k \le 10 \hfill \cr
  \;0 \le x < 1 \hfill \cr}  \right.\quad  =   \cr
  &  = \left[ {0 \le x < {1 \over 2}} \right]\left[ {{1 \over 2}
 \le \left\{ {{{719} \over {11}}k + {{719} \over {11}}x} \right\} < {1 \over 2} + x} \right] +   \cr
  &  + \left[ {{1 \over 2} \le x < 1} \right]\left[ {x - {1 \over 2}
 \le \left\{ {{{719} \over {11}}k + {{719} \over {11}}x} \right\} < {1 \over 2}} \right] =   \cr
  &  = \left[ {0 \le x < {1 \over 2}} \right]\left( \matrix{
  \left[ {{1 \over 2} \le \left\{ {{{719\left( {2k} \right)} \over {22}}
 + {{719} \over {11}}t} \right\} < {1 \over 2} + x} \right] +  \hfill \cr
   + \left[ {x \le \left\{ {{{719\left( {2k + 1} \right)} \over {22}} + {{719} \over {11}}x} \right\}
 < {1 \over 2}} \right] \hfill \cr}  \right) =   \cr
  &  = \left[ {0 \le x < {1 \over 2}} \right]\left( \matrix{
  \left[ {{1 \over 2} \le \left\{ {{{15\left( {2k} \right)} \over {22}} + {{719} \over {11}}x} \right\}
 < {1 \over 2} + x} \right] +  \hfill \cr
   + \left[ {x \le \left\{ {{{15\left( {2k + 1} \right)} \over {22}} + {{719} \over {11}}x} \right\}
 < {1 \over 2}} \right] \hfill \cr}  \right) \cr}
$$
Therefore the probability $\overline P$ of not having the hands on the same half circle
will be
$$
\eqalign{
  & \overline P  = {1 \over {11}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {\int_{\,x\, = \,0}^{\,1}
 {\overline K (k,x)dx} }  =   \cr
  &  = {1 \over {11}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {\int_{\,x\, = \,0}^{\,1/2} {\,\left( \matrix{
  \left[ {{1 \over 2} \le \left\{ {{{15\left( {2k} \right)} \over {22}}
 + {{719} \over {11}}x} \right\} < {1 \over 2} + x} \right] +  \hfill \cr
   + \left[ {x \le \left\{ {{{15\left( {2k + 1} \right)} \over {22}}
 + {{719} \over {11}}x} \right\} < {1 \over 2}} \right] \hfill \cr}  \right)dx} }  \cr}
$$
$\overline K (k,x)dx $ is represented by the segments of the two sawtooth waves intercepted
inside the respective forbidden areas like those shown in the following sketch.

Note that for better clarity  the inclination $m$ of the lines is much lower than $719/11$.
The integral translate into the sum of the $\Delta x$ of each segment.
To compute them let's start with computing the intercepts with $y=1/2$.
The minimum intercept $s_{\,0}$ will be
$$
\eqalign{
  & y = \left\{ {q + m\,x} \right\} = \left\{ {\left\{ q \right\} + m\,x} \right\}
 = {1 \over 2}\quad  \Rightarrow   \cr
  &  \Rightarrow \quad \left\{ q \right\} + m\,x = n + {1 \over 2}\quad  \Rightarrow   \cr
  &  \Rightarrow \quad m\,x = n - \left( {\left\{ q \right\} - {1 \over 2}} \right)  \cr
  &  \Rightarrow \quad m \, s_{\,0}  = \left\lceil {\left\{ q \right\} - {1 \over 2}} \right\rceil
  - \left( {\left\{ q \right\} - {1 \over 2}} \right) = \left( {{1 \over 2} - \left\{ q \right\}} \right)
 - \left\lfloor {{1 \over 2} - \left\{ q \right\}} \right\rfloor  =   \cr
  &  = \left\{ {{1 \over 2} - q} \right\} \cr}
$$
For the lower triangle we can simply replace $q$ with the negative of the intercept with $x=1/2$ , i.e.:
$$
m\,s_{\,0}  = \left\{ {{1 \over 2} + {m \over 2} + q} \right\}
$$
Next we take the upper triangle and slant it as shown

where
$$
\Delta y(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{
   {{m \over {m - 1}}x}
 & {\left| {\;0 \le x < {1 \over 2}\left( {1 - {1 \over m}} \right)} \right.}  \cr
   {m\left( {{1 \over 2} - x} \right)}
 & {\left| {\;{1 \over 2}\left( {1 - {1 \over m}} \right) \le x < {1 \over 2}} \right.}  \cr
 } } \right.
$$
so that we will compute $\Delta x$ as $ 1/m \, \Delta y$.
Finally, we are sampling the slanted triangle at points starting from $s_{\, 0}$  (which depends on $q$ and thus on $k$) and progressing with $\Delta s = 1/m$.
$$
s(k,j) = s_{\,0}  + {j \over m} = \left\{ {\matrix{
   \matrix{
  {1 \over m}\left\{ {{1 \over 2} - q} \right\} + {j \over m}
 = {{11} \over {719}}\left( {\left\{ {{1 \over 2}
 - {{15\left( {2k} \right)} \over {22}}} \right\} + j} \right) =  \hfill \cr
   = {{11} \over {719}}\left( {\left\{ {{{11 - 8k} \over {22}}} \right\} + j} \right)
 = s_{\,u} (k,j) \hfill \cr}  \hfill & {{\rm upper}\;{\rm Tr}{\rm .}} \hfill  \cr
   \matrix{
  {1 \over m}\left\{ {{1 \over 2} + {m \over 2} + q} \right\} + {j \over m}
 = {{11} \over {719}}\left( {\left\{ {{1 \over 2} + {{719} \over {22}}
 + {{15\left( {2k + 1} \right)} \over {22}}} \right\} + j} \right) =  \hfill \cr
   = {{11} \over {719}}\left( {\left\{ {{{19 + 8k} \over {22}}} \right\} + j} \right)
 = s_{\,d} (k,j) \hfill \cr}  \hfill & {{\rm lower}\;{\rm Tr}{\rm .}} \hfill  \cr
 } } \right.
$$
Since
$$
\eqalign{
  & {{11} \over {719}}\left( {\left\{ {{{11 - 8k} \over {22}}} \right\} + j} \right)
 = {1 \over {2 \cdot 719}}\left( {22\left\{ {{{11 + 14k} \over {22}}} \right\} + 22j} \right)  \cr
  & 22\left\{ {{{11 + 14k} \over {22}}} \right\}\quad  \Rightarrow \quad 11 + 14k
 = 2n + 1\quad \left( {\bmod 22} \right)\quad  \Rightarrow   \cr
  &  \Rightarrow \quad 5 + 7k = n\quad \left( {\bmod 11} \right)\quad
  \Rightarrow \quad 7k \equiv n + 5\quad \left( {\bmod 11} \right) \cr}
$$
and
$$
\eqalign{
  & {{11} \over {719}}\left( {\left\{ {{{19 + 8k} \over {22}}} \right\} + j} \right)
 = {1 \over {2 \cdot 719}}\left( {22\left\{ {{{19 + 8k} \over {22}}} \right\} + 22j} \right)  \cr
  & 22\left\{ {{{19 + 8k} \over {22}}} \right\}\quad  \Rightarrow \quad 19 + 8k
 = 2n + 1\quad \left( {\bmod 22} \right)\quad  \Rightarrow   \cr
  &  \Rightarrow \quad 9 + 4k = n\quad \left( {\bmod 11} \right)\quad  \Rightarrow
 \quad 4k \equiv n + 2\quad \left( {\bmod 11} \right) \cr}
$$
then the {Independent Residues theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residue_number_system)
assures us that the the two relations above are bijections between
$$\left[ {0 \le k \le 10} \right] \Leftrightarrow \left[ {0 \le n \le 10} \right]$$
We have that the set of the sampling points are the same for both the triangles, and we can simply put
$$
\left\{ \matrix{
  s_u (n) = s_d (n) = {{2n + 1} \over {2 \cdot 719}} \hfill \cr
  0 \le s(n) < {1 \over 2}\left( {1 - {1 \over m}} \right)
 = {1 \over 2}\left( {{{708} \over {719}}} \right)\quad
  \Rightarrow \quad 0 \le n \le 353 \hfill \cr
  {1 \over 2}\left( {1 - {1 \over m}} \right) \le s(n) < {1 \over 2}\quad
  \Rightarrow \quad 354 \le 2n \le 358 \hfill \cr}  \right.
$$
And finally obtain
$$
\eqalign{
  & \overline P  = {1 \over {11}}\sum\limits_s {\Delta x(s)}
  = {1 \over {11m}}\sum\limits_s {\Delta y(s)}
  = {2 \over {11m}}\sum\limits_{\,0 \le n \le 358} {\Delta y(s_u (n))}  =   \cr
  &  = 2\left( {{1 \over {708}}\sum\limits_{\,0 \le n \le 353} {{{2n + 1} \over {2 \cdot 719}}}
  + {1 \over {11}}\sum\limits_{\,354 \le n \le 358}
 {\left( {{1 \over 2} - {{2n + 1} \over {2 \cdot 719}}} \right)} } \right) =   \cr
  &  = {1 \over {719}}\left( {{1 \over {708}}\sum\limits_{\,0 \le n \le 353} {\left( {2n + 1} \right)}
  + {1 \over {11}}\sum\limits_{\,354 \le n \le 358} {\left( {718 - 2n} \right)} } \right) =   \cr
  &  = {1 \over {719}}\left( {{{354 + 354 \cdot 353} \over {708}}
 + {{5 \cdot 718 - 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 356} \over {11}}} \right) =   \cr
  &  = {1 \over {719}}\left( {{{354} \over 2} + {{30} \over {11}}} \right)
 = {{1977} \over {7909}} = {1 \over 4}\left( {1 - {1 \over {7909}}} \right) \cr}

A: Take two of the hands. On average they will be a quarter of a circle apart. Distance varies uniformly from zero to half a circle apart.
Turn the dial so that one hand is at 12 and the other hand at 3.
Now when the third hand is in the interval from 9 to 6 all three hands are on the same semicircle.
When the third hand is between 6 and 9 they are not on the same semicircle.
So on average the three hands will be on the same semicircle 3/4 of the time.


In recent years the South African Police Service has warned of the use of markers by criminals outside homes. Typically they are used to forewarn one another of what to expect after your home has been broken into: they indicate the number of occupants, their age, the presence of dogs, an alarm, and if there is help on the inside.
The markers may not be easily identifiable as each gang or syndicate may use different methods or items. But they range from different colour plastic bags to cold drink cans, bricks and stones, and the direction of their placement is just as significant.
And no, these are not just scare tactics to sell security services, say Stallion Security and ADT. What is important is for residents to be observant and remain vigilant at all times, they caution. The best form of deterrence is to remove the rubbish outside your home and paint over defaced signs. The latter is just one of their tactics itemised in the table below, compiled by Stallion Security.
Not only should vigilance pertain to objects lying in front of your home, both companies say, but also to strangers and strange vehicles loitering in your street when you arrive home. This is a message that both Stallion and ADT reiterate to their clients on a continual basis.
Immediately remove and dispose of all markers.
Keep your pavement neat and tidy. Remove all possible markers and dispose of them in the rubbish bin.
Poisoning – If a dog dies suddenly or vomits, check for black specks in the vomit or white powder near the dog. Report all dog poisonings to the SAPS which MUST give you a case number.
Barking – if your dog is barking, do not ignore it.
Kiewiets (and geese) – These birds are excellent "watch dogs". They sound the alarm when a human encroaches on their territory and their various calls mean different things.
Remove any and all rubbish outside your home. Cut back on any bushes or trees that may offer easy access over walls or gates to your property, or provide places for criminals to hide.
Criminals are less likely to target homes or complexes which have prominent and well defined access control procedures.
Report any suspicious behaviour. Be alert and remain vigilant.
Get involved and attend community safety meetings so you are aware of the latest criminal tactics in your area.
These markers are valid and are used on a regular basis. Suburbs are "patrolled" routinely by 2 to 5 "people" – being ethnically and racially correct – and can be identified by their shoes, normally very clean running style and at least one of the group wears a small hat. Lookouts also sit around on street corners or pavements where there is clear visibility of intersections, etc.
Are you in the security business?
Basically any rubbish left anywhere is going to be read as meaningful with this list. Why would people who going to rob a house not just use their phones and send an sms with the house number?!
We found a white soap bar hidden in a plant infront of our house.. can this be a marker?

Adani Ports gets green nod for Rs. 12,256-cr, Phase 3 expansion of Krishnapatnam Port
Jan 4, 2021 India Shipping News
MUMBAI: The Adani Group-owned Krishnapatnam Port Co Ltd (KPCL) has received backing from a key government agency tasked with recommending environmental and coastal regulation zone (CRZ) clearance for the third and final phase expansion of the port, with an investment of Rs. 12,256 crore.
The expert appraisal committee (EAC) attached to the ministry of environment, forest and climate change recommended environmental and CRZ clearance to the third phase expansion during a meeting held on December 14.
The port with a depth of 18.5 metres, located in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, currently has capacity to handle 64 million tonnes (mt) of cargo and 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers.
On October 5, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) completed the acquisition of a 75 per cent stake in Krishnapatnam Port Company from the CVR Group for an enterprise value of Rs. 12,000 crore.
Krishnapatnam is India's second largest private port and APSEZ plans to convert it into a "Mundra" on the eastern coast and help achieve the target of building 500 mt of cargo handling capacity by 2025.
Mundra, located in Gujarat, is the flagship port of APSEZ and India's biggest commercial port. The third-phase development of Krishnapatnam port involves constructing twenty berths and three Single Buoy Moorings (SBMs) to create capacity for handling an additional 154 million tonnes (mt) of dry and liquid bulk cargo plus 2.2 million TEUs of containers.
When the third phase is completed, the port will have an overall capacity to handle 250 mt of non-container cargo and 5.5 million TEUs of containers.
With adequate land available, APSEZ said the capacity of Krishnapatnam can be ramped up further.

Hint: it has to do with the Russia investigation.
Noah is one of the few hosts currently airing new episodes right now; most are on vacation. Still, he met the challenge of addressing Arpaio with aplomb, dedicating a large portion of his show to discussing the pardon and its implications. He started by dedicating a "Profile in Tremendousness" to explaining Arpaio's offenses and what Trump's pardon means. As Noah warned, there might actually be a darker motivation at play—and it has everything to do with Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Noah worked his way through several news clips that outlined Arpaio's various heinous acts: making inmates stay in canvas tents in triple-digit heat; shackling women to bed as they gave birth; cordoning off Latino inmates with electric fencing; overseeing prisoners who died at an alarming rate, often with no explanation. But as Noah noted, "Arpaio's abuses of power didn't just hurt the inmates at his prisons. They also hurt the taxpayers who had to foot the bill." Between 1993 and 2015, Arpaio and his office racked up $142 million in legal fees, settlements, and compliance costs. Somehow, none of that is what got Arpaio in trouble with the law; his contempt-of-court conviction came because he refused to comply with a court order to cease randomly stopping people who looked Latino for the sole purpose of determining their immigration status.
That could have very bad implications for Mueller's investigation, Noah said: what if Trump simply decides to pardon officials within his Cabinet who are convicted? In Arpaio's case, Trump didn't even wait for him to be sentenced before issuing a pardon. As Vanity Fair's Emma Stefansky noted this weekend, that means that Trump's colleagues could simply decide not to cooperate or testify in Mueller's investigation—under the assurance that Trump will pardon them anyway. And even Noah may find that outcome difficult to joke about.

LIfBi expands data supply: BiLO data available now
How do education and space interact? The Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) explored this question using the example of Upper Franconia. Now, data from the "BiLO" project have become available to the scientific community free of charge. The database is also enhanced by a comprehensive documentation and information package on the Educational Landscape of Upper Franconia [BildungsLandschaft Oberfranken]. This enables researchers to investigate questions about the connection between individual educational decisions and perceived educational opportunities.
To what extent does the perception of educational opportunities depend on the social background of a person? Could social inequalities in education increase as a result? Since the 1960s, "Education and Space" has been a significant research perspective in educational research, which—due to demographic change—is currently gaining relevance again. However, the direct influence of supply structures on educational behavior has so far only been investigated scientifically to a limited extent. With its project "BildungsLandschaft Oberfranken (BiLO) [Educational Landscape of Upper Franconia]", the LIfBi is closing this research gap, taking individual educational decisions throughout the entire life course into account. The results of the first scientific analysis were already published in 2018.
As of March 30, 2020, edited and documented data are now available to the scientific community in an anonymized format via so-called Scientific Use Files (SUF). "Now that our research data has been published, all interested scientists can work with it. I am very much looking forward to more exciting results on this highly relevant topic," says Dr. Michaela Sixt. Michaela Sixt is, along with Prof. Dr. Hans-Günther Roßbach and Prof. Dr. Michael Bayer, co-applicant of BiLO, one of the largest third-party funded projects at LIfBi. She took over project management from Hans-Günther Roßbach in June 2017.
The BiLO-SUF contains anonymized data from two waves of a population survey with over 8,500 respondents and four surveys of over 650 providers in the areas of early childhood education, general and vocational schools, and cultural education. A further special feature is that the data set also contains 600 million distance measures that depict distances between places of residence and educational locations from the above-mentioned and other areas in a data protection-compliant manner (road and footpaths in kilometers and minutes).
Precondition for using BiLO data is the conclusion of a corresponding contract. Further information on the design of the study, the execution of the surveys as well as on the instruments, the data and the access options are compiled on the website.

An interactive atlas provides transparency on the educational situation in Upper Franconia
As a first result of the project, the "Atlas BildungsLandschaft Oberfranken" was published in November 2016. In cooperation with the interactive "webAtlas", which was published in Spring 2017, it creates transparency on the educational situation in the districts and independent cities of Upper Franconia. This atlas is the first comprehensive summary of relevant indicators for Upper Franconia recommended for educational monitoring. The findings on the educational situation in Upper Franconia from the perspective of both the supply and the user are available to all interested parties free of charge and visually prepared in interactive form and as PDF files.
The project "BildungsLandschaft Oberfranken (BiLO)" started in January 2014 with a duration of five years and was extended with the support of the Upper Franconian Foundation at no extra cost initially until March 2020. LIfBi is financing the completion of the work until the end of September 2020.

Hoverboards; Two-wheeled Scooters - Review of the most viral ride-on Gadget yet!
Hoverboard, hoverboards & hoverboards everywhere! It seems like hoverboards are the latest celebrity ride-on gadgets in town. The hoverboard started making waves not quite long ago when the American rapper, Wiz Khalifa was arrested for riding one at the Airport. Even a Nigerian singer known as MayD was also arrested for using one in a shopping mall in Lagos, Nigeria. The managing director of the Dubai-based company in Nigeria (InnJoo);Robert Liang also entered the stage on his at their product launch recently. If you've seen the official video of Meek Mill ft Nicki Minaj ft Chris Brown - All eyes on you, you'll notice they also used it there. Apart from the cases referred to above, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Mike Tyson, John Legend, Justin Bieber and so many other celebrities have been spotted riding on hoverboards. Check out some pictures of the ride-on gadget (hoverboard) below!
But here is the important question I'll like to throw to you all - "Are these really hoverboards?". To answer this question correctly, the word "hoverboard" consists of two words which are "hover" and "board", we all know what a board is so let's visit a dictionary to get the real meaning of "hover." According to the free dictionary, hover means to remain floating, suspended or fluttering in the air. Now with the definition here, do you think those ones we've been seeing around (pictured above) are hoverboards ?
No, they are not hoverboards since they don't hover, instead they are scooters - two-wheeled scooter to be precise. People just call them hoverboards (maybe because of the yawn we have for real hoverboards and because we are getting closer to having them) and it's really becoming so bad that even if you Google "hoverboard" right now, you'll only see a bunch of shopping links and images for two-wheeled scooters. There is one thing you must put in mind to differentiate a hoverboard from other ride-on gadgets, that is "hoverboards hover, they don't have wheels" and "if it has wheels, it's not a hoverboard" so don't let anyone confuse you to believe that those scooters are hoverboards. In reality, there are no real hoverboards yet apart from the one shown in the animation below - Hendo Hover (unfortunately, it's still not commercially available yet though).
Now that you know the real name of the thingy people are riding around, let's focus on the hoverboard itself for a while. You might be wondering - "where did the idea of hoverboards come from?", "is it really possible to stay on a flat tech gadget that will float and move without using wheels?" and "How close are we to using real hoverboards?"
You see from the above scene how sweet it is to ride on a hoverboard. Since then, every interested individuals, start-ups and companies have started trying to build the first real hoverboard and make it public. In theory, this is possible because according to Physics, two magnets with the same polarity repel each other so if one of the magnets can be placed on the floating board and the other one in the ground, they should push each other away, which will make the board float (a technology known as magnetic levitation). See how sweet and easy it is to say but in reality, it's really complicated and so damn difficult because to create a force strong enough to push up a board with a grown human on it, you need a magnet made of "superconducting" elements and to make it work, those elements have to be cooled to an exact temperature by a substance such as liquid nitrogen or helium, which is so tedious and expensive.
I personally believe it's possible just that it's gonna take time before they will finally get it right, maybe sooner; maybe later! Now, since the real hoverboards seem to be very expensive, complicated and difficult to build, the idea of building a hoverboard that has 2 wheels with self-balance sparked up and that's how we come to have the two-wheeled scooter we see around today.
It's not only those celebrities listed in the beginning of this article that can afford and use these beautiful two-wheeled scooters, you can also get one for yourself at a very affordable price. Before, it was very expensive (even some still sell for $1500-$2000) but now you can get it for as low as $250 - $500 depending on how you want it. And believe me, most of these smart scooters are made by the same few factories, just that resellers buy them wholesale and stamp their own labels & brand names on them, selling them overseas for a huge amount. Though, some high-end models have extra options like — Bluetooth speakers, remotes and custom paint jobs — but 90 percent of them are still identical, so you don't have to worry about the cheaper ones being inferior.
You don't know where and how to get it? Well, never mind, I've got your back. You can check them out here on eBay or Aliexpress, choose which one you want (don't forget to read the feedback from other users so that you'll be able to know which one is right for you) and proceed with the payment. This is probably not your first time of buying online so you should be able to do that conveniently without hassles.

This rifle shows very little use, a muzzle brake has been added but that is all that has been changed from original manfacturing. It is fitted with a very lovely piece of American Walnut the kind Ruger was famice for. It retains 100% of bluing and 98% of wood finish, it has the original 1" scope rings. It is the #1-B fitted with the semi beavertail forearm and is well ballanced, and retaining the original red Ruger recoil pad.
