LG V30 to go on sale on September 15 in Korea, US gets it on the 28th
Loknath Das July 29, 2017 LG V30 to go on sale on September 15 in Korea, US gets it on the 28th2017-07-29T17:40:24+00:00 Mobile
The LG V30 is the second most highly anticipated phablet to be announced this fall (it's safe to say that the Note8 wins that title), and it's set for an August 31 unveiling at IFA in Berlin – 8 days after its Samsung archrival has gone official.
It has now been revealed that the V30 will go on sale in its home country on September 15. In the US, the V30 will go on pre-order on September 17, while you'll be able to pick one up in a store starting September 28th.
The current V20 will likely lend its dual camera setup to the V30.
The info comes courtesy of an internal LG document obtained by AndroidAuthority, so it's not strictly official. Additionally, it doesn't mention other regions, but the September 28 date is cited as the global rollout date, so that may be all we need.

Q: Spring boot images in src main resourcer aren't visible from java code in a spring boot application, i have an image: src/main/resources/images/logo.jpg
I need to use that image creating new File, but this doesn't work:
File img = new File("/images/logo.jpg");

How can i do this?
Thankss

A: The resources folder should be in your classpath. This means you can access it like this:
@Service
class SomeClass {
  @Value("classpath:images/logo.jpg")
  private Resource img;

  private void methodThatUsesImage() {
    // you can do something here with the InputStream of img
  }
}

A: There are different ways to load resource files, one practice is as follow
 ClassLoader cl = getClass().getClassLoader();
 File file = new File(cl.getResource("images/logo.jpg").getFile());

And in spring based project you can use
...
ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource("images/logo.jpg");
...

For not facing FileNotFoundException at runtime please see the attached link as well.

A: *

*new File("/images/logo.jpg");

java will look up in the "working directory/images/logo.jpg". it does not exist, right?

*Your file is in src/main/resources so the correct is

URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/images/logo.jpg");
File file = new File(url.getFile());

NBA draft: Legend of Zion Williamson grows with incredible story from HS coach
In case you needed a reminder of how otherworldly Zion Williamson is, his high school basketball coach has a story for you.
NBA draft: Legend of Zion Williamson grows with incredible story from HS coach In case you needed a reminder of how otherworldly Zion Williamson is, his high school basketball coach has a story for you. Check out this story on jsonline.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/draft/2019/06/20/nba-draft-zion-williamson-legend-grows-story-coach/1508461001/
AJ Neuharth-Keusch, USA TODAY Published 7:21 a.m. CT June 20, 2019
Lee Sartor, who coached Williamson at Spartanburg Day School in South Carolina, said he witnessed two incredible feats from Williamson — and neither of them happened on the court.
"I've seen him throw a football 70 yards and I saw him hit a baseball over 400 feet," Sartor told USA TODAY High School Sports this week, and he expanded on those comments in an interview with TMZ.
First, Sartor addressed the launching of the football, which was captured on camera.
"I actually witnessed that, and it was about 70 yards in the air," Sartor said. "The interesting this is that he threw it with his right hand, and of course, he shoots with his left."
As for the crushing of the baseball, which was also captured on camera?
"That happened between his junior and senior year as well," Sartor said. "He was just messing around out on the baseball field, and he said 'let me hit one.' And he hit the thing over the fence, about 400 feet."
And so the legend continues...
Williamson is projected to be taken with the No. 1 pick by the New Orleans Pelicans in Thursday night's NBA draft.

Bells & Whistles
Raw Thoughts
Never mind the EPA, here's Extinction Rebellion
July 21, 2022 July 20, 2022 by Jamie Richards
Photo illustration by Srikar Poruri/No Bells.
I emerge from the cramped dark of Marble Arch Underground station into the hard spring sunlight of London. Across the road is Speaker's Corner, a storied parcel of Hyde Park iconic for its history of public discussion. Walking beside me is a much older man in fatigues, carrying a furled up flag in his half-open backpack, heading like a pilgrim into the park where already the hourglass logo of Extinction Rebellion is flying on banners of all colours.
Climate action group Extinction Rebellion, or XR, have a short but full history of controversies and clashes with the British public. They launched in 2018, and in three and a half years of civil disobedience, have absorbed as much praise as they have criticism. Three fundamental demands govern XR; for governments to "tell the truth" about climate change, for the world to "act now" about it, and for citizens to "be the change" through small-scale "citizens assemblies", a type of council to create climate policy. All of this is to "halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of social collapse." Every word in the XR doctrine is amplified to a global scale, leaving the atmosphere in Hyde Park thick with the tension of duty.
It is just past 10 a.m. on the 9th of April, and the protesters are mobilising. A few cryptic blog posts on the group's new campaign led me here, vague promises of a new, more powerful "rebellion" across an entire week. Today is the launch. Some details were likely hidden to deter police and counterprotesters, but both make themselves known. Face-to-face with the crowd, it's hard to not feel overwhelmed; far from my expectation of a totally decentralised mass, things are run with surprising professionalism. Stewards and wellbeing staff and police correspondents walk with purpose in coloured vests, leaders hand out signs pre-stamped with green ideology, a circus of cameras and note-takers like myself lock on to anyone with information and continue XR's long relationship with media coverage.

It's no secret that the world might actually burn by the time I pay off my student loans, but from afar Extinction Rebellion never struck a chord with me. Their tactics are undeniably effective and come from generally the correct intention — to stop us all from dying — but their tactics always seemed unnecessarily punitive to everyday people doing everyday things. XR block city-centre roads and business doorways with human beings, glue their hands to the ground or sides of tube trains, and routinely get themselves arrested en masse. Their tactics are visually striking but emotionally blunt; they're just as happy to block the cars of bankers and oil barons as they are to stand in the way of ambulances.
In person, such coordination isn't enough to convince me to join them, but it sure is impressive. Most of the faces here have a friendliness to them that can't be faked. Still, I can't shake the feeling that today might be yet another blow to the lives of normal people.
Walking around the park in a mass of maybe a couple thousand people, I get the sense that these protesters are deeply, maybe desperately, committed. There are banners in the dozens, representing different factions and local chapters in a way that feels half like summer camp and half like Mad Max. Though the bike-mounted soundsystem blasting The Abyssinians' "Declaration of Rights" doesn't match Fury Road's flamethrower guitars in scale, the spirit is there.
I've come here for a uni project, but also to ask about music. You can tell a whole lot about someone from the music they listen to; the traits they value are often evident in the songs they hold closest. I'm also hoping to start more organic and less heated conversations through the music itself, bringing guards down to really understand the people within Britain's most famous protest collective.
Drummers wield anything from tambourines to parade drums, carrying their instruments like rocket launchers into spheres led by ringleaders with possessed faces. Sharp resonance and seismic rumbling multiplies into base and inspiring patterns. Buddhists meet on the ground and meditate. Communists preach the joined evils of racism and imperialism and filter out with stacks of the newspapers they hope will cure them, waving the flag of Cuba with confusing commitment. The police are overbearing and constant, mounted, infiltrating in blue vests as a young woman holds high a sign that labels them as spies. Everyone is everywhere under flags that range from hand-held ensigns to an enveloping sheet of bleached cloth labelled "ammonia."
There's electricity in the air as the protest winds up. I start talking to people: a doctor at the helm of a team of medical professionals dressed in scrubs, one of the aforementioned communists who looks me up and down with suspicion before saying much, protest tourists who watch from afar with mothlike curiosity.
I find a guy named Jamie dressed as a wind turbine. He's the first person here I ask about music.

Jamie, despite the elaborate get up, is casual. He tells me that he likes Radiohead and Sia, but that his kids' screaming is his life's new soundtrack. Other protesters, especially the older ones, bring reminders of the next generation too – people show up with pictures of daughters and grandsons stapled to them, clearly unsure of what's going to remain for today's youth. Someday the world is going to run out of oil. At the current rate of warming we might just run out of livable space. It is no doubt a scary time to be a parent, grandparent, to care for the ones who come next. It's actually heartening to see some of the people who lived through the century-long pollution spree from 1900-2000 want to do something about it.
The youth in question manifest in pockets in the conspicuously mature crowd. A pair, Neve and Charlie, tell me about their love for drum and bass before two older gents, Nejdet and Yuksel, come over and tell me with grave seriousness about the classic nature of Pink Floyd and The Doors. Generations are well defined here; young people move in close clusters while the older folks wander with quiet confidence. Neve and Charlie have the calm voice and posture that only ravers present.
I ask this motley and cheerful troop for their current favourite songs. "'Balling,' this drum and bass tune with Traumatik and Devilman," says Neve. Smiling, Charlie adds the sunny "Morning Sex 2016 Remix" by Zero T and Conrad, a seriously breezy tune that fits the windswept and sunsoaked park. Zoe, another woman, stands with them: "old music — Grateful Dead, Echo and the Bunnymen," she chimes. As the group pose up under the XR Enfield flag, the generational gap feels smaller than it visibly is. "You should come join us, come sit in the road," Zoe says to me. The offer feels remarkably genuine.
I find my way to a group of journalistic types towards the centre. They're eager to talk about music but struggle to land on specifics. "I could be listening to Folk from the 70s one minute and drill the next," says the shyest of the bunch, who after covering his face for the photo shoot, eventually tells me his name is Craig. Next to him are Bobby, who talks quietly about ambient music, and Metty, a photographer. Craig, whose career with the camera includes a late night shoot with George Clinton at NTS Radio "when they had the hut," says that he and the others here have been to 350 marches and demos in the last two years. "We've been on this since the first one… When you're listening, there's so much you can learn."
Craig, Bobby and Metty. Photo by Jamie Richards/No Bells.
Metty lists Nat King Cole, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. and the entire genre of bossa nova, before commenting, "as [the protests] went on, the age went up really quickly." Bobby catches me off guard with Brian Eno's "Deep Blue Day," an ambient track originally commissioned for the 1989 movie For All Mankind. The film compiled footage from NASA's Apollo missions with Eno's ambient sounds to look down on Earth from above. It's refreshing to be reminded of this perspective in a place so focused on politics and individual minds.
All the drumming and chanting seems to lead some of the protesters to a soil-bound tunnel vision. One of the drummers I speak to later, Sylva, tells me with a pure niceness and absolute conviction that samba, the standard issue for XR's assembly of drummers and noisemakers, "raises the spirit of the Earth, and moves the sky." From over my shoulder, the photography group calls someone new, Hesther, to come talk to me. She's just come back from Ukraine.
"It's not a great situation up there, it's a massive training ground; it's a mess," Hesther tells me. She talks with a sweetness that masks the weight of her experiences — she's a hospital pharmacist of 5 years who, in her spare time, travels to the world's divided lands as a photojournalist. "The PTSD is for everyone, [there's] too many [people] not knowing what they're heading into. This is a warzone, the mindset is not right." Hesther warns against what she calls "photographic romanticism," talking with a kick of fury about journalists putting locals in the line of fire. "300 journalists out around Kyiv — how are you gonna get that shot?" she remarks.
Hesther. Photo by Jamie Richards/No Bells.
"Ukraine, they love a political song. Something to bring people together," Hesther adds. She continues onto stories of artists and singers behind the Euromaidan frontlines, and the pianist at Lviv station as Russia invaded. "Art holds the very polarised spectrum together… Some of the songs from the protests I can sing as well. You feel like you're part of it."
For the most part, Extinction Rebellion feels like a big artwork that everyone's automatically part of, with no clear hand leading the paintbrush across the canvas. As ideal as this sounds, there are fractures at the painting's edge. I meet a group that seem mostly disinterested with the whole thing. But they perk up when the noise kicks back in, one of them in sunglasses giving the impression that he's mainly here for excitement, not an instigator but maybe a tourist.
One of the older protesters I meet is in a camouflage coat and full face covering, representing the offshoot Animal Rebellion. She tells me that she loves grime music, Stormzy, Burna Boy, for it brings together "kids of all colours and cultures, unified in this song," but says the artists should "direct it to the real problem." Her words feel a touch myopic, far from aggressive but not born from the most careful listening, as if the bars on Stormzy's pained "21 Gun Salute," or Dave's withering dissection of generational inequality "Three Rivers," or Skepta's searingly intimate "Bullet from a Gun," don't tackle very real problems themselves (and that's just scratching the genre's surface). She recommends Lily Allen as a "powerful, white female voice" in "combination" with the mentioned grime artists, which catches me off guard. Our conversation reminds me that XR is an organisation long accused of thinking about diversity in simplistic terms – these are people zoned in on fighting very specific things, so much so that they might forget to look past themselves.

By midday all flags are unfurled and flying in the first warm wind of spring. A speaker, presumably a leader and separated artificially by protest stewards, finishes her sermon decrying the evils of fossil fuels and oil-soaked politicians. The drums start again, and then they start again again, growing louder and louder in increments of chaos, summoning, preaching almost. The march begins on the edge of the park and heads down Oxford Street, London's shopping district, to the bemusement of onlookers and mild disdain of bus drivers. I hop on top of road barriers and benches to get a better look – to my eye it's around 2,000 people, but it's hard to tell. Faces and vibrant colours blur in the drumming, which grows more piercing by the minute. I chat to a quiet freelance journalist absolutely pacing it down the pavement, who I just about hear over the noise. Roads get blocked. Cars protest the protesters.
Oxford Circus is crawling with police and the faint sound of approaching drums. I ask to take a picture of an older protester who pushes my hand away when I offer to shake his; he agrees to the photo but seems confused. Things are getting tangled and busy and the Met Police helicopter hangs overhead like a flying hyena. There's too much difference among the people here to define them in the sweeping terms of change. The drums are impending. XR seems to have made sound a core part of their attack. Everywhere, there are lips moving, and yet I can hardly hear chatter. Leafletters peel off from the march like rogue ions, handing out sheets that preach hope and apocalypse. Things move slow. I look around and reckon I've seen all I need to, and as far as music goes I'm sure things aren't changing anytime soon. Sure enough, in the cooling dark of Oxford Circus station, all I can hear is the low and rising rumble of Extinction Rebellion.

Women's soccer breaks streak with 3-1 victory
Brian Tabakin
Section: Sports
In a non-conference matchup against Gordon College on Tuesday afternoon, the Brandeis women's soccer team snapped a four-game skid with a 3-1 victory over the Fighting Scots. The win improved the Judges to 3-4 on the season.
After a midday rainstorm, the field was extremely slick and conditions were very poor. The slippery field allowed the Judges to get on the board when, at the 3:32 mark of the first half, the ball skipped off a Gordon defender and into their own net.
Already disheartened from the self-inflicted wound, Gordon struggled for the rest of the half to maintain possession and regain momentum. Gordon managed to stop eight shots by the Judges to keep the game manageable. Brandeis entered halftime with a 1-0 advantage.
Less than two minutes into the second half, the Judges tacked on another goal. Ali Maresca '12 headed a corner kick from Alec Spivack '15 into the back of the net to put the Judges ahead 2-0 at the 46:46 mark. The goal was Maresca's first of the season and third of her career while the assist was Spivack's first collegiate point.
The lead would be further extended just under eight minutes later when back Kelly Peterson '14 drove home an unassisted direct kick from 35 yards out to put the Judges ahead 3-0.
Despite the seemingly insurmountable lead, the Scots still battled for the rest of the game. The Scots bounced back from what had been a lackluster performance, with consistent offensive pressure in the Judges' zone. The Scots broke up the shutout at the 64:13 mark when junior Karina Scavo drilled a low shot off an unassisted direct kick past the Brandeis defenders and keeper Francine Kofinas '13 to trim the Judges lead to 3-1.
Gordon goalie Kari Christensen finished the contest with 12 saves against three goals, while Brandeis goalie Kofinas stopped five shots against just one goal.
Earlier in the week on Sept. 17, the Bowdoin College women's soccer team rallied in the second half against the visiting Brandeis Judges, scoring a pair of goals to defeat the Judges 2-1.
Brandeis controlled the tempo of the game for the majority of the first half, taking seven of the game's first eight shots. Bowdoin had an offensive charge toward the end of the first half as Bowdoin senior Ellery Gould had three fantastic shots on goal that just missesd the mark. Gould's final shot barely missed the back of the net, hitting the post instead and sending the game into halftime in a scoreless tie.
Bowdoin came back onto the field for the second half and continued where they left off: peppering the Brandeis goalie Michelle Savuto '15 with shots on goal. Bowdoin scored twice in a span of 9:26 to take control of the tempo of the game for good. Bowdoin junior Stacie Sammott put the Polar Bears on the board at the 59:46 mark, following through on a bouncing ball in the box. Gould gave Bowdoin a crucial insurance goal at the 69:12 mark after she finished off a fantastic centering pass from Bowdoin's Amanda Kinneston to make it a two-goal game. The goal moved Gould within just two tallies of tying the program's all-time scoring mark.
Brandeis cut the Bowdoin lead in half with just under seven minutes left to play. Sapir Edalati '15 accepted a long cross-pass from Corrine Bortniker '15 and angled the ball inside the far post at the 83:31 mark. While the goal snapped a three-game scoreless streak for the Judges, they could not cut further into their deficit. Savuto allowed two goals against four saves in 73 minutes of playing time. Kofinas replaced Savuto for the final 17 minutes of the game; Kofinas allowed no goals and had two saves in her time on the field.
Since 2005, Bowdoin has had a 4-3 advantage in the seasonal matchup between the two teams.
Even earlier in the week, on Sept. 15, the Judges fell to host Roger Williams University 2-0. The win was the first for the Hawks against the Judges since a 1-0 victory back on Oct. 27, 2008.
In what had been a common theme for the Judges, the Hawks struck first in the game when RWU's Hannah Noel headed in a cross-pass from the left side by RWU's Katie Fusaro in the 11th minute to put the Hawks ahead 1-0.
Throughout the first half, the Judges had numerous opportunities to tie the contest but could not convert. In the 20th minute, forward Hilary Andrews '14 attempted a shot from the left side of the box but Andrews could not put enough angle on the shot and it deflected off the side of the goal. At the 40:47 mark, midfielder Mary Shimko '14 let loose a precise shot up the middle, but the shot was negated by an offsides call.
Early on in the second half, the Hawks had multiple opportunities to double their lead. In the 57th minute, Noel fired a bullet off of RWU's Alexa Maher's corner kick; however, defender Maresca made a kick stop to prevent a sure goal. Just seconds later, Maresca stopped another attempt by RWU's Kristen Tetreault to prevent the Hawks from widening their lead.
Effective defense from the Hawks prevented Brandeis from getting on the board in the second half. Halfway through the second half, Maher helped preserve the shutout by sliding in front of a shot by Edalati, getting enough of her foot on the ball to affect its trajectory and enable RWU goalie Stephanie Jacques to make the save. In the 71st minute, RWU's Taryn Roussel denied Andrews who was making an attempt in the box.
In the closing seconds of the contest, RWU's Tory Benoit tallied her third goal of the year off a cross-field pass by senior Devon Leighton to put the game on ice.
Jacques made a career-high 10 saves during the match for her second straight shutout. Brandeis goalies Kofinas and Savuto each recorded one save against one goal.
The Judges will return to action Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. when they host Wellesley College.

Check out the Fintech Pitch Deck Kevin, backed by the former president of Mastercard in Europe, used to raise $ 10 million.
Lithuanian fintech Kevin raised $ 10 million in a funding round led by OTB Ventures and Speedinvest.
The startup wants to remove the reliance on bank cards and instead use account details for payments.
Get an exclusive look at the pitch deck used to convince investors to support the startup.
A fintech that aims to do away with bank cards as payment intermediaries raised $ 10 million in a round table supported by a former president of MasterCard.
Lithuanian startup Kevin allows customers to make payments directly from their bank accounts by linking them to a merchant's account. The company, founded in 2018, says its technology will speed up the pace of transactions and also reduce fees charged by card issuers like Visa and MasterCard.
Starting the payment infrastructure relies on bank account information instead of card details. Much of this is due to not being dependent on a physical card, which could be lost or stolen, and Kevin also claims that payments arrive at accounts in hours rather than days and his fees are lower. students.
The Lithuanian fintech will use the new money to launch a point-of-sale system, which will allow consumers to use Kevin for in-person transactions at existing card machines via NFC. It will work like Google Pay, but the payment comes directly from an account instead of a bank card.
The round was co-led by OTB Ventures and Speedinvest, both of which invest in European technology start-ups. Global PayTech Ventures of former MasterCard chairman Javier Perez also supported the startup alongside B2B software investor Open Ocean and Henry McGovern, the founder of European coffeehouse chain AmRest.
While the wealth of Europe in
attracted a record $ 28.4 billion in venture capital in 2021, the bubble may burst soon, according to Finch Capital. The Dutch venture capital firm cites the war for talent, rising interest rates, shrinking number of state-owned companies and increased regulatory oversight as obstacles, Insider previously reported.
But Adam Niewinski, co-founder and partner of OTB Ventures argued that the EU's PSD2 open banking directive is about to kick off the next wave of digital transformation in the financial sector.
"I think fintech will certainly continue to grow and develop in Europe in the years to come, and there is still a lot to do," said Niewinski, adding that incumbents need to be collaborative to stay competitive. "The vast majority of fintechs we see today are business-oriented, which makes them friends of the banks, not enemies."
Kevin's biggest customer is UniPark, the largest parking operator in the Baltic States, which uses it for in-app payments. Sokolovas said the company is currently in talks with supermarket chains, which are its target customers.
It is active in 15 markets, including Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland, the Netherlands and Portugal, with boots on the ground in most. This will increase to 28 by the end of 2022, including the UK, Spain and France.
Kevin is also increasing his staff. Currently a team of around 150, Sokolovas hopes to expand to more than 350 by 2022. The roles available span departments including sales, business development and engineering.

Q: 'Singleton' application - or let the user only launch one instance of a program at the time I'm running a few linux desktops; mainly for kids (yeah, trying to teach them the right OS at early stage) (running Ubuntu 10.10, Gnome)
The problem is that they found very funny to make their workstations (actually, old 512 Mb pentium 4) by launching thousands of firefox instances.
I'm looking for a way to restrict them to launch 'N' instances of a particular application. Haven't figured yet how. Thought of a monitoring daemon but I think that would be too ressources hungry.
Any idea of a script/trick to achieve this ?
Note: i might have 1-2 level of users (the kids, and the more grown up kids) so i have also to limit per user; something like user1: 3firefox, user2: 2firefox instances.

A: Look into adding some process count limits into your limits.conf file, usually located at /etc/security/limits.conf.
The following snippet will limit members of the users group to 200 processes:
@users          hard    nproc   200

This won't let you limit users to a certain number of any particular application, but it will go a long way towards protecting the rest of the machine from a few malicious users.
You might also want to consider using address space limits instead of strict process count limits.
The following will impose a hard limit of 512000KB (500MB):
@users          hard    as      512000

A: For firefox specifically, part of the problem is that no matter what you do to the shortcut, the kid can get dozens and dozens of firefox windows by hitting ctrl-N.  Also, as far as I know (Debian stable's iceweasel) when you attempt to run a second copy of firefox without the -no-remote commandline option, it sends a message to the existing firefox to open a new window, then exits, so there's normally only one firefox process (per user).  You might try out this window limiter addon, which may help you since you're using it for its intended purpose instead of trying to block popups like the angry reviewers.
For other applications in general, most docks capture the application icon within the dock itself and clicking on the application in the dock again returns you to the existing window (see OSX, or how Windows 7 behaves for applications pinned to the taskbar).  Most can still open multiple copies of the application if you right click, but this might fool small enough kids for a while.  You just need to find a dock with an application launcher that works this way and works with Gnome, which will probably take a little trial and error.

A: It seems like your issue is that too many programs are able to be launched, not that there are too many of one app or another.  For that, you might want to look into better process limiting/throttling so that they can't crash the machine that way.
As far as prevention with specific apps: When dealing with kids, what I would do is look into making shortcuts that open the current running instance of an app if there is one already open, and opens another only if there isn't.  Or simply don't work if there's already a running instance.
You can make shortcuts that use a command from the command line instead of whatever they're currently doing.  I can't recommend a specific command syntax that just doesn't work if there's already an instance running, but that's where I would start looking.

Khaled Habib El-Kebich (born January 24, 1970 in Tiaret, Algeria) is an Algerian film director, composer, singer-songwriter and an actor.

Early life
He composes and performs a genre of music which is both traditional and modern. He has developed a personal musical mix in which he blends different musical styles as well as music from all over the world and creates an exciting and unique musical style which is both innovative and captivating. His music could be described as having influences of funk, jazz, reggae, blues, soul, Latin rhythms as well as folk music from various corners of the world. The same applies to the mix of instruments with everything ranging from traditional drums to electronic sounds-capes.

Career
Khaled El Kebich artistic field extends into the domains of composing music for films and theatre plays, such as La Celestina set up at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theater (Dramaten) under the direction of Robert Lepage (1998), and the film Nattbok by Carl Henrik Svenstedt, "Vingar av glas" and "Cappricciosa" directed by Reza Bagher,"Huvudrollen" by Leyla Assaf-Tangroth. Foursan Al Hoggar directed by Kamal Laham produced by Samira Hadjdjilani/EPTV Algerian Television and the feature film "El Hanachia" by Boualem Aissaoui produced by CADC (Centre Algerian du development du cinema).

From wild brash orchestral sounds to subliminal moody underscore and shimmering textures, Khaled El Kebich film-music and scoring is contemporary with emotional sounds-capes that enhance a film work whilst adhering to a consistent musical personality.

The fact that his style has its roots in Algerian music mixed with a variety of different musical directions partly because he has written and performed  with a number of bands of different ethnic background, such as Down By Law from Italy, New Phases from South Africa, Aquarius from France, Hada Raïna from Sweden, and others.

He has also participated at major European festivals such as: Falun Folkmusik Festival, Roskilde Festival, ArtGenda Festival, Stockholm Water Festival, Re:Orient Festival, Folk o Folk Festival, Verlden i Norden Festival, 550 Fatih Istanbul Festival and many others.

This paper studies the relationship between trade policy and food prices. We show that, when individuals are loss averse, governments may use trade policy to shield the domestic economy from large food price shocks. This creates a complementarity between the price of food in international markets and trade policy. Specifically, unilateral actions give rise to a "multiplier effect": when a shock drives up the price of food, exporters respond by imposing restrictions while importers wind down protection, thus exacerbating the initial shock and soliciting further trade policy activism. We test the key prediction of the theory with a new dataset that comprises monthly information on trade measures across 77 countries and 33 food products for the period 2008-11, finding evidence of a multiplier effect in food trade policy. These findings contribute to inform the broader debate on the proper regulation of food trade policy within the multilateral trading system.

Q: Prove that $d$ is not a metric on an open subset $U$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ I've got the map $d: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$ defined as follows:
$$
d(x,y)=\sum\limits_{i=1}^n \frac{|x_i-y_i|}{|x_i|+|y_i|}
$$
Restrict $d$ to the subset $U=\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n: \, x_i \neq 0 \, \forall i=1,\dots,n\}$. I'm asking whether such a map is a metric on $U$. The problem is clearly given by the triangle inequality. Some time ago I read in a book (I don't remember the title) that it is not a metric. However, I'm not able to find a simple counterexample. Can you help me, please
I tried lots of cases, but I observe that triangle inequality always holds. Let us reason for only a variable:
$$
d(x,y)=\frac{|x-y|}{|x|+|y|}
$$
The previous becomes
$$
d(x,y)=\frac{|1-\frac{y}{x}|}{1+|\frac{y}{x}|}.
$$
Let $t=\frac{y}{x}$. I may study the monotonicity of the function $\frac{|1-t|}{1+|t|}$. This is not an increasing function, so triangle inequality cannot hold. Is my argument correct?

A: I'll show it is a metric on $\mathbb R$.
Proposition: $d(x,y):=\frac{\vert x-y\vert}{\vert x\vert+\vert y\vert}$
is a metric. I'll prove the triangle inequality.
Notice this metric image is $[0,1]$.
We need to show: $\forall x,y,z\in\mathbb{R}\ \ d(x,z)\leq d(x,y)+d(y,z)$
Assume WLOG $\vert x\vert  \geq\vert z\vert$.
If $z=0$:
$d(x,0)=1=d(y,0)\leq d(x,y)+d(y,z)$
Therefore, from now on, I'll prove the claim for $z\neq0$.
We can divide $x,y,z$ by $z$. Therefore it's sufficient to prove:
$\forall x',y'\in\mathbb{R}\ \ d(x',1)\leq d(x',y')+d(y',1)$= $\frac{\vert x'-1\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert1\vert}\leq\frac{\vert x'-y'\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert y'\vert}+\frac{\vert y'-1\vert}{\vert y'\vert+\vert1\vert}$
Case 1: $\vert z\vert=1\geq\vert y'\vert$.
$$ \begin{align}
d(x',z) &=\frac{\vert x'-1\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert1\vert}\\
&\leq\frac{\vert x'-1\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert y'\vert}\\
&\leq\frac{\vert x'-y'+y'-1\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert y'\vert}\\
&\leq\frac{\vert x'-y'\vert+\vert y'-1\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert y'\vert}\\
&=\frac{\vert x'-y'\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert y'\vert}+\frac{\vert y'-1\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert y'\vert}\\
&\leq\frac{\vert x'-y'\vert}{\vert x'\vert+\vert y'\vert}+\frac{\vert y'-1\vert}{\vert1\vert+\vert y'\vert}\\
&=d(x',y')+d(y',1)\\
\end{align}$$
We can now assume $\vert y'\vert\geq\vert z\vert$.
Case 2: $x'<0$
$y'\geq0\implies d(x',y')=1\implies d(x',1)\leq1\leq d(x',y')+d(y',1)$
$y'<0\implies d(y',1)=1\implies d(x',1)\leq1\leq d(x',y')+d(y',1)$
Case 3: $x'\geq0\implies x'\geq1(x'\geq z=1)$
If $y' \leq 0$, then by case 2, $d(y',1) = 1$. since $d(x',1)\leq
1$ we are done
Therefore, $x',y'$ are positive. We are left with two cases. $y'\geq x',y'<x'$.
Because $x',y'$ are positive and greater than 1: $d(x',1)=\frac{x'-1}{x'+1},d(y',1)=\frac{y'-1}{y'+1}.$
Define a function $f:[1,\infty)\rightarrow[0,1]$, by $f(x'):=\frac{x'-1}{x'+1}$.
$f$ monotonicly increasing (on it's range) because it's derivative $f'(x)=\frac{2}{{(x-1)}^2}$ is positive (Well defined on the function range). Also note that $f(x')=d(x',1)$ on $[1,\infty)$.
The case $y'\geq x'$ is immediate, since $f(x')$ is monotonicly increasing:
$d(x',1)=f(x')\leq f(y')\leq f(y')+d(x',y')\leq d(y',1)+d(x',y')$
Finally we are left with a final case: $x'\geq y'\geq1$.
Claim: $f(y'+t)-f(y')=\frac{2t}{y'(y'+t+2)+t+1}$
Proof:
$$\begin{align}
& f(y'+t)-f(y')=\frac{y'+t-1}{y'+t+1}-\frac{y'-1}{y'+1}\\
&=\frac{(y'+t-1)(y'+1)}{(y'+t+1)(y'+1)}-\frac{(y'-1)(y'+t+1)}{(y'+1)(y'+t+1)}
\end{align}$$
Only the numerator:
$$\begin{align}
&(y'+t-1)(y'+1)-(y'-1)(y'+t+1)\\
& =y'^{2}+ty'-y'+y'+t-1-(y'^{2}+ty'+y'-y'-t-1)=2t
\end{align}$$
Only the denominator:
$$\begin{align}
&(y'+t+1)(y'+1)=y'^{2}+y'+ty'+1+y'+t=y'(y'+t+2)+t+1\ \ \square
\end{align}$$
Claim 2: $f(y'+t)-f(y')\leq d(x',y')$
I'll show
$$
\begin{align*}
&f(y'+t)-f(y') \leq d(x',y')\\
&\iff\frac{2t}{y'(y'+t+2)+t+1}\leq\frac{t}{y'+y'+t}\\
&\iff\frac{2}{y'(y'+t+2)+t+1}\leq\frac{1}{y'+y'+t}\\
&\iff 2(2y'+t)\leq y'(y'+t+2)+t+1\\
&\iff2y'+t\leq y'(y'+t)+1.\\
\end{align*}$$
$t\leq y't$ since $y'\geq 1$.
$2y'\leq y'^{2}+1\iff0\leq y'^{2}-2y'+1\iff0\leq(y'-1)^{2}\iff $always!
Therefore this case always holds!
Conclusion: d is a satisfies the triangle inequality.
This paper proves the "Normalized Symmetric Difference" is a metric, Which is generalization of this case, to sets.
Sorry about the mistakes on the previous post. This question drove me crazy!
May I ask where it is taken from?

Comment | Theresa May's Witch-Hunt of the Muslim Community Continues
The speech delivered yesterday by British Home Secretary Theresa May, while ostensibly aimed at countering extremism, was in reality the latest episode in the ongoing assault on Britain's Muslims, argues Dilly Hussain.
Ideas, New in Ceasefire - Posted on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 20:06 - 2 Comments
By Dilly Hussain
Home Secretary Theresa May had the hallmarks of a deluded neoconservative dictator when she delivered her speech yesterday on a new counter-extremism strategy aimed at tackling "Islamist extremism". With less than 50 days remaining until the general elections, it made absolute sense why she reassured voters on the subject of national security, considering the fear that has been instilled in the British public of Islam and Muslims by the higher echelons of power.
Theresa May did not hold back in making her party's position crystal clear, regarding those considered to be a threat to the UK. I would argue that her definition of "Islamist extremists" included Muslims from across a wide political, theological and sectarian spectrum. Now that the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act has become legislation, it is pivotal for the British Muslim community to realise how this law affects them.
The most contentious aspect of the CTS Act is undoubtedly the government's tried and tested, Prevent strategy – a divisive social experiment based on ambiguous definitions of 'extremism' and 'British values', which are politicised in theory and McCarthyite in practice.
Many of the anti-extremism measures which the Home Secretary mentioned in her speech weren't unheard of; rather it was more concerning that in the run-up to a General election and in light of the CTS Act, such draconian policies will be implemented very quickly, irrelevant of which party takes over in May.
The numerous flaws of the Government's Prevent strategy have been highlighted by former cabinet ministers, senior police officers, as well as prominent think-tanks, ever since it was introduced by Tony Blair under CONTEST in 2006. The nature of its ill-defined premises and ad-hoc implementation were one of many reasons why it continues to have minimal effect or tangible success rates. However, now that Prevent has become statutory under the CTS Act, Theresa May's speech cannot be taken for granted as it gave a daunting picture of the years to come.
British Values and the Clash of Civilisations
The Home Secretary's speech consisted of the all-too-familiar rhetoric of successive governments' who choose to address British Muslims as a disloyal suspect community. She spoke of a "clash of civilisations" narrative that the "Islamist extremists" peddle, in their quest to stop people's individual freedoms; oblivious to the fact that she, too, sounded like an extremist who was adamant on criminalising those that do not subscribe to a state-sanctioned "British Islam" palatable to liberal secular values.
Though I was tempted to be pedantic over the entirety of Theresa May's speech, I will only highlight five quotes which were either outright lies, statements of undeniable hypocrisy, or tarnished the entire Muslim community.
"We have seen the Trojan Horse plot to take over state schools in Birmingham."
Nicky Morgan should have informed the Home Secretary that the Education Select Committee concluded that there was no evidence of an Islamist plot to take over Birmingham state schools. Why would she continue to peddle this demonstrably unfounded lie?
"…it's obvious from the evidence that the most serious and widespread form of extremism we need to confront is Islamist extremism."
The lion's share of the Home Secretary's speech focused specifically on "Islamist extremism" and very briefly addressed far right extremism, though many of the measures proposed would apply to both.
"Islamist extremists believe in a clash of civilisations. They promote a fundamental incompatibility between Islamic and Western values, an inevitable divide between "them and us". They demand a caliphate, or a new Islamic state, governed by a harsh interpretation of Shari'a law. They utterly reject British and Western values, including democracy, the rule of law, and equality between citizens, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion or sexuality. They believe that it's impossible to be a good Muslim and a good British citizen."
What are these "British/Western values" she's referring to? If it's "democracy, the rule of law and equality", then why does the UK support dictators like Abdel Fatah al-Sisi who removed Egypt's first democratically elected president by military force? Why does our government sell weapons to tyrannical regimes who violently quell political dissent, and the only "rule of law" they have is that of kangaroo courts? How can Theresa May talk of "equality between citizens" when the UK is a staunch ally of Israel, an entity which does not treat Palestinians as human beings let alone recognise them as "equals".
Closer to home, is this the same "democracy" that, when Muslims try engaging and excelling in, they're accused of having an "entryist" Islamist agenda? Or the witch-hunt of figures and organisations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, at the behest of Gulf monarchies who are threatened by the group's call to transparency through the democratic process?
As for the "clash of civilisations" narrative – first floated by US establishment academic Samuel Huntington more than two decades ago, enthusiastically revived by G.W. Bush after 9/11, and parroted by Tony Blair – Theresa May's speech is the latest addition in the long history of Western leaders championing a "them and us" rhetoric.
On the subject of those who "demand a Caliphate", it's important to note that the Caliphate accounts for 1,302 years of Islamic history. It was a matter which the Prophet Muhammad spoke about in great detail, prophesising its permanent return after a period of demise. Many, if not all of the revered figures in Islam advocated the Caliphate, including Prophet Muhammad's wives and companions.
Furthermore, British Muslims have unequivocally rejected the self professed 'Islamic State' led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but the ISIS crisis was inevitably going to be used to censor non-violent Islamic groups calling the return of the Caliphate in the Muslim world.
"We must always take care to distinguish between Islam – a major world religion followed peacefully by the overwhelming majority of one billion Muslims worldwide – and Islamist extremism."
It doesn't require much thought to understand what the Home Secretary meant by following Islam "peacefully": Muslims who do not oppose foreign occupation, the looting of their natural resources, external meddling into their affairs, or the everyday hardships they face as a result of the policies implemented by the tyrants the UK supports.
"They say what I describe as Islamist extremism is simply social conservatism."
It's comforting to know that the Home Secretary acknowledges that what she is actually doing is intentionally conflating mainstream orthodox Islam with non-violent extremism.
Who to vote for?
The Home Secretary implied in her speech that she wants counter-extremism to be a "partnership" between the Government and civic society. Unfortunately, due to the manner in which the current Government has opted to engage with the Muslim community, it really has no grassroots partners or allies to assist on this matter.
But do not assume that the Labour Party has something better to offer the Muslim community either. Though Ed Miliband called for an overhaul of Prevent last week, Shadow Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, criticised Theresa May, saying:
"She has had five years as Home Secretary to do all these things, yet too many of her promises are the opposite of what she has done in Government. She could have had banning orders, reviewed Shari'a courts, and insisted preachers speak English five years ago, rather than leaving it until now. Everyone other than the extremists agree that we should robustly defend and actively promote the pluralistic values our society rightly holds in esteem. But it isn't enough for the Home Secretary to say it, she needs to act."
I think it's fair to assume that irrespective of who Muslims vote for in the forthcoming General election, McCarthyite counter-extremism measures will continue. The bitter truth is that whilst the major political parties may differ in other aspects of policy regarding the economy, the EU, housing, and education, their stance on national security and counter-extremism is basically the same.

I cant even make it through these types of articles anymore.
Muslims are chopping people up in the streets, running around the capital demanding sharia laws, blowing up subways, raping teen girls, and preaching hatred of everything non islamic.
And behind them you have the army of islamic propgandists like this author whining and complaining that some british politician with the collective wherewithall of a bag of hammers starts talking tough.
Wait until British people start killing you in the streets, then you will have something to talk about. Until then, not so much.

Q: Do legal names matter with source code licensing in the USA? If a project wishes to relicense its source code to a license that was incompatible with the original license, the project maintainers generally need to seek the express approval of its contributors if the contributors did not sign a Contributor License Agreement. If a contributor contributes code to a project under an anonymous alias, what does that mean for relicensing? Does contributing to a project anonymously mean the contributor loses copyright protection?

A: In this answer, I assume that someone has contributed code under a pseudonym (or under no name at all) and has not signed a contributor license agreement. Without delving too deeply into legal specifics (I'm not a lawyer), I will make a very simple point: ignorance of an author's identity does not diminish the author's rights under copyright, although it may severely complicate the author's attempts to assert those rights.
In all nations that are signatories to the Berne Convention, copyright protection is granted at the moment a work is fixed in a tangible medium. Therefore, whenever you encounter a work that contains copyrightable expression, you should assume it is already under copyright (assuming the copyright has not expired and the work does not predate the Berne Convention), and therefore it is your responsibility not to run afoul of that work's author's rights under copyright. If you need permission from the work's author to perform a particular action with that work, the onus rests on you to obtain permission from the author. Your inability to identify the author does not change your responsibility to respect that author's copyright.
To give a simple example, suppose you found a sheet of paper on the sidewalk with some code typed up on it. Surely, your inability to identify the author of this code does not mean the author forfeits copyright protection on the work.
Similarly, suppose someone slipped a piece of paper under your office door with some code on it, and attached a note saying it was released under the GNU GPL v3. Let's assume that the person who slipped it under your door really did have the right to license it under the GPL. (If they didn't, then you're quite a mess, but let's set aside this possibility and focus on the best case. Note that a good CLA would avoid this problem by forcing the contributor to bear the responsibility of any infringing material present in the contribution.) You can therefore reasonably use the work as permitted under the GPL, but you cannot relicense it without permission of the anonymous contributor, since that operation requires possession of copyright. If you attempt to distribute the code under a different license, you run afoul of the author's copyright.
There is, obviously, a serious practical obstacle to suing you for infringement, however: only the work's author can bring suit against an infringer. In order for a person to sue you for your unauthorized use of a work, that person must prove that he or she is the original author of the work. This may be a legal headache even in the best of times, and it may be all but impossible when the author has previously taken deliberate steps to obscure their connection to the work.
On a related note, the U.S. Copyright Office says this about pseudonyms:

An author of a copyrighted work can use a pseudonym or pen name. A work is pseudonymous if the author is identified on copies or phonorecords of the work by a fictitious name. Nicknames and other diminutive forms of legal names are not considered fictitious. Copyright does not protect pseudonyms or other names.
...
In no case should you omit the name of the copyright claimant [i.e., the declared copyright owner, when registering a copyright]. You can use a pseudonym for the claimant name. But be aware that if a copyright is held under a fictitious name, business dealings involving the copyrighted property may raise questions about its ownership. Consult an attorney for legal advice on this matter.

In short, a contributor's anonymity does not give you permission to use the contribution in ways that violate copyright, but it does complicate matters for a formerly-anonymous author who wishes to sue for infringement.

Springing to action on my four year old's lunch box you see Batman and the bad guys.
PB&J. Milk. Fruit snacks. Batman. Bad guys. The perfect preschool boy lunch combo.
This heinous corps of comic character villains were flinging around my office. Locked in post-PB&J combat with Batman they struggled. Until my son spoke directly to me while holding up the round-bellied, tuxedoed Penguin, "This bad guy got flattened out. Then he got pumped back up again to be a nice guy."
How many of us have to be flattened out before we can be nice?
How many times must we be humbled before we drop our pride?
What pain will we suffer before we ask for help?
How many sleepless nights before we seek godly counsel?
If only nicer, kinder, gentler, more Christlike was as easy as only one flattening and pumping.
Post a comment to share the learnings of your flattenings.


We live in an age of reality TV and fake news. Consumers are becoming adept at spotting anything that is staged, dodgy or downright untrue. That's why, when it comes to charity film-making, telling the truth is a vital component of storytelling. For WPNC, it's a case of film-making that is always grounded in reality; getting real people to relate real tales.
She sums up these principles as "heart, head, hand". In other words, emotional engagement; rationalising the reasons for giving; and creating the urgency and action needed to get the viewer to respond. There's a lot to fit in to capture the attention of potential donors in a crowded market, so ads usually take the form of 60 or 90 seconds in length.
Despite the 'cinema verité' approach, a shoot often requires months of meticulous planning, for what in reality may be just a few short days of filming. There are many different participants to consider: beneficiaries, project workers and the wider group of people who may be involved. It's vital that everyone is comfortable with the filming process and actively want to be a part of something special.
"We all work together to make magic," says Maria. "We look for real stories, real people, real lives. Whether we're filming here or abroad, in a UK hospital or a remote community overseas, we always prefer not to go in with a detailed storyboard.


The NFL's remaining eight teams will be in the spotlight on Divisional Weekend. On Saturday, January 15, the AFC North champion Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) will host the division rival Baltimore Ravens (13-4) at Heinz Field (CBS, 4:30 PM ET). That night in primetime (FOX, 8:00 PM ET), the Atlanta Falcons (13-3), the NFC's No. 1 seed, will welcome the Green Bay Packers (11-6) to the Georgia Dome. On Sunday, January 16, the NFC North champion Chicago Bears (11-5) will play the Seattle Seahawks (8-9) at Soldier Field (FOX, 1:00 PM ET) and the AFC's top seed, the New England Patriots (14-2), will face the AFC East rival New York Jets (12-5) at Gillette Stadium (CBS, 4:30 PM ET).
For the first time since 2000, two of the Divisional matchups feature division foes. The AFC East's Patriots and Jets will clash in New England and the AFC North's Steelers and Ravens will face each other for the third time this year.
All four Divisional games are rematches of regular-season meetings. The Steelers and Ravens split the season series, as did the Patriots and Jets. The Seahawks defeated the Bears in Chicago in Week 6 and the Falcons knocked off the Packers in Week 12 at the Georgia Dome.
For the second time in the past three seasons, these two division rivals will meet in the postseason. In 2008, the Steelers beat the Ravens 23-14 in the AFC Championship Game en route to a victory in Super Bowl XLIII. These two teams own the best postseason records in NFL history: Baltimore is 9-5 (.643) and Pittsburgh is 31-19 (.620).
The teams split the season series this year, with each team winning once. The combined score? 27-27.
"We're very evenly matched," says Baltimore Pro Bowl linebacker TERRELL SUGGS.
Last week, the Ravens defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 30-7 to improve their road record in the postseason to 7-3. Baltimore's JOE FLACCO passed for 265 yards and two touchdowns to become the first quarterback in NFL history to start and win a playoff game in each of his first three seasons in the league.
The NFC's top seed, the Falcons, will host the Packers in a rematch of their Week 12 meeting. In that contest, won 20-17 by Atlanta, both quarterbacks posted a 100.0+ passer rating. MATT RYAN (107.9) of the Falcons tied a franchise record by completing 85.7 percent of his passes (24 of 28) and Green Bay's AARON RODGERS (114.5) passed for 344 yards.
"We're going to watch two of the young greats that are coming up in this league in Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan," says NFL Network analyst and Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver MICHAEL IRVIN.
Rodgers tossed three touchdown passes in last week's 21-16 Wild Card victory at Philadelphia and his seven passing touchdowns are the most ever by a quarterback in his first two playoff games.
All-Star Ryan is 20-2 (.909) at home in his career and his 33 wins are tied for the most by a quarterback (Pro Football Hall of Famer DAN MARINO) in his first three seasons since the 1970 merger.
Earlier this season, the Seahawks won 23-20 in Chicago. However, the last time these two teams met in the postseason (2006 Divisional), the Bears defeated Seattle 27-24 in overtime.
The Seahawks knocked off the New Orleans Saints last week, becoming the first team in NFL history to beat the defending Super Bowl champions in the postseason after trailing by at least 10 points. Quarterback MATT HASSELBECK threw a franchise playoff record four touchdown passes to lead Seattle to victory.
The Divisional weekend will conclude when these two AFC East rivals face one another. The clubs split the season-series 1-1 with the home team winning each contest. The Jets will look to avenge the Patriots' 45-3 victory in Week 13.
In the Jets' 17-16 Wild Card victory at Indianapolis, running back LA DAINIAN TOMLINSON rushed for two touchdowns and wide receiver BRAYLON EDWARDS set up the game-winning field goal with an acrobatic 18-yard catch.
The Patriots finished the season with the league's best record at 14-2. Pro Bowl quarterback TOM BRADY set an NFL record with 335 consecutive passes without an interception and he led New England to a perfect 8-0 mark at home.
