China Mogul Loses $27 Billion in World's Biggest Wealth Drop
Colin Huang, the founder of Chinese e-commerce platform Pinduoduo Inc., has lost more wealth this year than anyone else in the world.
Huang's fortune has dropped by more than US$27 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, after the company's stock plunged as China cracked down on its internet giants. That's the biggest decline among the 500 members of the index, much larger even than the roughly US$16 billion lost by China Evergrande Group Chairman Hui Ka Yan, whose real estate empire is struggling under a pile of debt.
It's the starkest example of how the tide has turned for China's billionaire class as President Xi Jinping calls for "common prosperity" and reins in the country's private-sector companies. Shares of Pinduoduo, or PDD, have fallen more this year than either Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. or Tencent Holdings Ltd.
PDD is "more vulnerable to the crackdown compared to those peers with mature and profitable models" like Alibaba and Tencent, said Kenny Ng, a securities strategist at Everbright Sun Hung Kai Co. in Hong Kong. "That's the main reason for the stock performance lagging behind other tech companies."
A representative for PDD didn't respond to requests for comment.
Pinduoduo's American depositary receipts have dropped 44% this year, compared with a 33% decline for Alibaba's ADRs. Tencent's shares have slid 20% this year in Hong Kong.
Huang, who owns 28% of PDD, founded the company in 2015 and quickly built it into an e-commerce giant by pioneering community buying. PDD's annual active users climbed to 788 million in December, exceeding the 779 million users at Alibaba's online marketplaces.
The company's market value reached a peak of US$178 billion before falling to about US$125 billion. It reported its first quarterly net profit as a public company last month.

Tonight on HOUSE RULES, Dairy Farmers Toad & Mandy and competitive couple Mel & Dave stormed to the Grand Final after a heartfelt reveal.
Bonus room: (Boho inspired deck) Wendy was concerned it wasn't practical, but the sense of boho was strong. LLB called the decorating "exciting and invigorating." Drew and LLB thought it should be one space and encompass the outdoor dining.
Loungeroom: "Clever decorating" according to LLB, but Drew said it felt like a catalogue.
Bathroom: Drew said: "It's perfect." The feature wall was "stunning," added Wendy. They all loved the timber wall screen.
Master bedroom: LLB praised the "colour confidence" and the way they curated the memories of Wayde in a "respectful and tactful way." Drew found some faults with the wall design behind the bed. Wendy didn't think they were on their best in this room.
Hallway: The lighting won praise but not the rest of the hallway.
Atrium: Not incorporating more of Koa's space was "a big missed opportunity" to LLB, and Drew agreed.
Kitchen: LLB and Wendy loved the "strong blue" cabinetry. Drew praised the "good plan" of the compact kitchen. It felt "generous, welcoming and loving" for LLB.
Monday on HOUSE RULES at 7:30pm: The Grand Final is here. Dairy farmers Toad & Mandy and competitive couple Mel & Dave have one final challenge in the race for $355,000.

"Don't let Monsanto interfere with vital cancer research. Stand up for science and continue to fully fund the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer."
The World Health Organization's vital cancer research shouldn't be subject to the whims of politicians doing the bidding of corporate campaign contributors. We need an overwhelming backlash to stop this attempt to silence scientific research in its tracks.
Tell Congress: Don't defund vital cancer research to protect Monsanto's profits.
It should come as no surprise that Monsanto rejected their findings. Monsanto uses the same playbook as Big Tobacco and Big Oil – casting doubt on science in order to continue peddling a dangerous product.
Just like oil companies, Monsanto has found a willing shill in Rep. Lamar Smith, who has made a career out of undermining science to help out industry. Smith has attacked the National Science Foundation, fought environmental regulations and rejected climate science.6 Now during a sham hearing he called simply to bash science on behalf of Monsanto, he frighteningly suggested that the World Health Organization's funding should be cut.
It is outrageous that Smith is willing to threaten public health to help out his industry friends. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States, with approximately 39 percent of Americans expected to be diagnosed during their lifetimes.7 Undermining research that could help save lives to protect Monsanto's profits is unacceptable.
We need to raise our voices now to stop Smith before his dangerous shilling for Monsanto gains any momentum in Congress.

USC's potential newcomers could make sudden impact
PUBLISHED: December 3, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 10:37 a.m.
One shortcoming for USC's offense this season was a lack of consistent playmakers, aside from wide receiver Damian Williams, but two interesting prospects will attempt to enroll in January and solve that problem.
Dillon Baxter, an all-purpose player from Mission Bay High School in San Diego, is vying for possible national Player of the Year honors with some eye-catching statistics. Baxter has rushed 2,402 yards and scored 40 touchdowns. He also passed for 1,651 yards with 23 touchdowns.
Baxter is going to be a wide receiver at USC but also could carry the ball out of the backfield. He is rated the 26 th-best player in the nation by Rivals.com.
Another early enrollee is expected to be wide receiver Kyle Prater, ranked the No. 2 player in the nation by Rivals. Prater appeared to waver after his initial commitment in August but reaffirmed it after making an official visit. USC also received a commitment from wide receiver Robert Woods (Serra High of Gardena), ranked the No. 3 player in the nation by Rivals.
Carroll and some assistant coaches will leave as soon as Sunday night and head on the recruiting trail following the Arizona game.
McKnight plays
Tailback Joe McKnight (bruised knee) practiced Thursday and will play Saturday against Arizona.
"Joe looked very good," USC coach Pete Carroll said. "He's fine. He'll play. We're in pretty darn good health."
Championship survivors
Carroll said he was not aware that cornerbacks Josh Pinkard and Kevin Thomas were the last two members of the roster that played in the 2006 BCS title game against Texas.
"I wouldn't have even known that," he said. "It's hard to imagine those guys not being here. They've almost been here as long as I've been here.
"They've been great Trojans. When I think of this senior class I can't help but think of them."
Secondary losses
This will be the final regular-season game for Pinkard, Thomas, safety Taylor Mays and safety Will Harris.
Carroll is already thinking about filling the holes in the secondary. An immediate solution will be the return of cornerback Shareece Wright, who was academically ineligible this season but will be able to play in a bowl game.
Wright said he would return next season and not consider entering the NFL draft. The other contenders at cornerback are sophomore T.J. Bryant and freshman Brian Baucham. The frontrunners at safety will be sophomore Drew McAllister and freshman T.J. McDonald.
But Carroll is also looking at recruiting more help at the spot.
"It's clearly a voided area," he said. "It's tons and tons of football they have played. The competition will be wide open. We like the group coming back, but there are not enough of them. So this is a big recruiting year. There will be wide-open challenges for playing time. The bowl practices will have a lot to do with it too."
Armstead starts
Defensive end Armond Armstead, who displaced Wes Horton as a starter for the UCLA game, will make his second straight start against ArizonaSaturday. Armstead said he is still not playing 100 percent because he must wear a hand cast during games.
"I'm not going to wear it for the bowl game, so I'll be 100 percent then," Armstead said.
Tight end Blake Ayles, battling a sprained knee and ankle, said he would not play Saturday but try to play in a bowl game.

Начальник тюрьмы — должностное лицо, которое отвечает за тюрьму.

Название
В США и Канаде, warden () — наиболее распространённый титул для должностного лица, ответственного за тюрьму.

В некоторых штатах США также встречается слово superintendent (). В маленьких округах, тюрьма должна управляться местными шерифами и .

В Великобритании и Австралии говорят governor, . В Новой Зеландии и частных тюрьмах Великобритании, эта должность известна как director, .

В Азии, в частности Индии, Пакистане и Шри-Ланке, говорят jail superintendent () или просто superintendent (). Точное название варьируется в зависимости от типа тюрьмы.

Обязанность
Начальник тюрьмы обязан контролировать все операции внутри тюрьмы. Тюрьмы различаются по размеру, некоторые из них содержат тысячи заключённых. Они отвечают за безопасность тюрьмы, работу персонала тюрьмы (включая тюремных надзирателей, тюремных врачей, дворников, поваров и др.), управление его запасами, содержание помещений и благосостояние его заключённых. На практике повседневное управление безопасностью обычно делегируется руководителю службы безопасности, который будет помощником или подчинённым начальника.

Регулярная работа надзирателя может включать надзор за безопасностью, проведение инспекций, проведение дисциплинарных процедур, составление отчётов, управление приёмами и поддержание связи с другими профессиональными сотрудниками, которые посещают тюрьму, такие как медицинский персонал, осуждённые с испытательным сроком и социальные работники.

Характер работы зависит от размера тюрьмы. Количество охраны, в которой нуждается тюрьма также зависит от типа тюрьмы: от до тюрьмы супермаксимальной безопасности.

По странам

Индия
Тюрьмы в Индии управляются провинциальной тюремной службой. Каждая тюрьма или тюрьма управляется суперинтендантом. Точное название зависит от тюрьмы и штата. Суперинтенданту обычно помогает заместитель начальника и один или несколько помощников.

Великобритания
В настоящее время в Англии и Уэльсе есть 139 действующих тюрем, 16 в Шотландии и три в Северной Ирландии. Существуют три отдельных тюремных службы для ,  и . Руководитель тюрьмы известен как тюремный губернатор. Исключением является ряд , которыми управляет директор. Директору помогает контроллёр, назначаемый Министерством юстиции.

Потенциальным губернаторам необходимо пройти медицинское обследование, осмотр и фитнес-тесты, а также быть гражданином Великобритании или гражданином ЕС и быть готовым к переезду в случае необходимости. Компании, в которых работают частные тюремные учреждения, имеют свои собственные требования к поступлению и методы найма. В Англии и Уэльсе выпускники публикуются каждый год (обычно в октябре) в национальной прессе. В Шотландии рекламируются как в шотландской, так и в национальной прессе.

В Англии и Уэльсе есть два основных варианта становления тюремным губернатором. Первый из них заключается в том, что персонал может продвигаться по служебной лестнице (например, от надзирателя и переходить к другим управленческим функциям). Второй вариант — через IDS (Prison Service Intensive Development Scheme). Этот вариант открыт только для тех, кто держит уровень, с предпочтением для кандидатов, имеющих соответствующий опыт в вооружённых силах или полиции. Верхний возрастный лимит для становления губернатором тюрьмы – 57. С помощью этой схемы можно достичь статуса высшего руководства менее чем за пять лет, в то время как обычно этого статуса добиваются 20 лет.

happy first week of school, lovebugs! i seriously cannot believe i'm stinkin' college SENIOR. like in a few short months i have to be an adult…. *breathes deeply* anyway, i wanted to talk a little bit about my internship.
if you're new here i'll clue you in real quick: this past summer, i spent 12 weeks in sunny los angeles, california for an internship with madly mignon and kaitkat creative content. SO FUN, but now i'm back at oklahoma state to finish up school.
i know so many of you college gals (& guys) do internships, so i thought i would share a few of the life/career lessons i learned from mine. scroll on down!
ps: gingham is HOT HOT HOT right now, am i right? this top is under $20 on romwe, girly gals, and fits so so well. the ties on the sleeve also add a cute touch!
go into your internship knowing that you're going to be doing a lot of grunt work and there's no way around it. once you get that out of the way you can really focus on what your purpose there is. show that you have passion for the company through your work…yanno, like you actually care about being there. take initiative by going above and beyond your to-do list for the day. this speaks volumes to your supervisor! you might just be there for class credit, but it's AMAZING what you can get out of being just an intern.
i like to think i had a very special internship. it was very intimate and one-on-one everyday, unlike a lot of people who do internships in a more corporate setting. i mean i used kait's (my bosses') kitchen table as my office space most days. but i went into my internship knowing that i wanted to make a real connection with my supervisor and come out with a mentorship. it's one thing to just stay in touch, but another to know that you can call on that person for anything whether it be career advice, guidance, or council for ANYTHING is really comforting.
i feel like this is a no brainer, especially because you probably put in a lot of effort to find and get your internship and you want to be there. love learning. it's that simple.
this is another HUGGEEE thing i had to learn during my internship. it applies really in any job, but especially if you are working for yourself or working remotely. you really have to create a structure for your day and prioritize your tasks so that you work efficiently. this is also super common sense but something you might overlook.
Great post! What did your day-to-day schedule look like with your internship?


The Arizona Coyotes intend to keep standout rookie defenseman Jakob Chychrun past the 9-game mark.
The Arizona Coyotes are 3-6 to start the season.
They haven't had a lot to hang their hats on.
One of the few bright spots has been 16th overall pick Jakob Chychrun.
Chychrun was the 5th defenseman chosen in the 2016 NHL draft and most gave him little chance of making the NHL club in his first training camp.
I hope no one bet on that.
From rookie camp to training camp, Chychrun put on a tour de force showcasing his defensive promise and already considerable offensive instincts.
In multiple interviews he expressed his determination to make the team.
He also expressed confidence that he was skilled enough and ready for the show.
On Wednesday, the team quietly agreed.
There won't be a big announcement from the Coyotes but D Jakob Chychrun is going to stay past the 9-game trial for junior-eligible players.
Jakob Chychrun will remain with the team past the 9-game mark dictated by the CHL-NHL agreement.
It's hardly a guarantee that he will continue to be as effective as he's been in his first 8 games, or that he will receive the kind of ice time he's earned recently.
For a kid who fell from the 2nd ranked skater in the 2016 draft to the 16th overall pick, it has to feel like vindication.
When told about the news, Chychrun seemed thrilled.
And just like that, Jakob Chychrun became the only defenseman picked in the first round of this year's draft to remain on an NHL roster.
Three of the names chosen before him didn't even get a game in.
The fourth, Mikhail Sergachev, averaged 10:26 minutes of time on ice and skated in three games.
The Montreal Canadiens have already sent him back to juniors.
Jakob Chychrun has earned the respect of Arizona Coyotes management with his performance.
He's earned the respect of his team with his work ethic.
The fans are already in love and a few Chychrun #6 jerseys have begun showing up at Gila River Arena.
This is a big moment for the 18-year-old from Florida.
His progression thus far may prove even bigger to the future of the Arizona Coyotes.


CHICAGO (August 26, 2007) – Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy, two legends of women's soccer who helped pioneer the sport in the United States and around the world, were officially inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame on Sunday in a ceremony in Oneonta, N.Y.
As their historic careers progressed, there was little doubt that the duo would someday be enshrined, and that was confirmed last February as Hamm was selected on 137 of the 141 ballots cast, setting a new high in votes received. Her 97.16% surpassed that of the previous high vote garnered by Michelle Akers in 2005, who was elected with 95.77% of the vote. Foudy was elected with 83.69 percent of the vote, having been selected on 118 ballots. The U.S. Women's National Team won more than 80 percent of its games and four world championships during the era in which the two played.
Carla Overbeck, the captain of the 1999 Women's World Cup champions, herself a Hall of Fame inductee last year, will present Foudy. Former U.S. National Team and long-time University of North Carolina head coach Anson Dorrance will present Hamm.
Hamm and Foudy, who have earned induction on the first ballot for which they were eligible, both played their final games for the USA during the last match of the 2004 Fan Celebration Tour to commemorate the U.S. WNT's memorable victory at the 2004 Olympics. The 5-0 win over Mexico on Dec. 8, 2004, capped off historic careers that saw them win two Women's World Cup titles and two Olympic gold medals, as well as lead a generation of players who were at the center of groundbreaking achievements in women's sports. The emotional run to the 2004 Olympic gold medal in Greece was the final world championship for the duo.
Foudy, who captained the USA from the time of Carla Overbeck's retirement in 2000 to her own in 2004, is one of the greatest leaders in the history of women's sports. On the field, she was known for her competitive fire, phenomenal work rate and smooth skills on the ball. She played 271 times for the USA, third behind Lilly and Hamm, while scoring 45 goals from the midfield, good for ninth on the all-time U.S. scoring list. A southern California native, she started in all seven world championships in which she played, playing every single match, including the 2004 Olympic final when she went the distance on a badly sprained ankle. A four-time All-American at Stanford University, she finished her college career with 52 goals and 32 assists. Off the field, Foudy is one of the most influential female athletes in the United States. She took over as the president of the Women's Sports Foundation following the 2000 Olympics and finished her term at the end of 2002. She was named to a Presidential Commission on Title IX in 2002 and played a major role stopping any major changes to the law. She was also placed atop the list of Most Powerful Women in sports by The Sporting News in their 2003 and broke new ground with her work as an in studio analyst for ESPN and ABC's coverage of the 1998 and 2006 World Cups. Foudy, who played three seasons in the WUSA for the San Diego Spirit, won the 1997 FIFA Fair Play Award for her work against child labor. She was the first woman and thus far the only American to win the award.

Set up both goals as the USA defeated China, 2-1, in the championship match at the 1996 Olympics, as the USA claimed the first-ever Olympic gold medal for women's soccer.
Made soccer history on Sept. 18, 1998, in Rochester, N.Y., scoring her 100th career goal in a 4 0 victory over Russia, becoming just the third player and first American to score 100 or more international goals.
Broke the all time international scoring record, for men and women, on May 16, 1999, against Brazil in Orlando, Fla., with her 108th career goal. She would go on to score 50 more before her retirement.
Scored the USA's opening goal of the 1999 Women's World Cup against Denmark at a sold-out Giants Stadium on June 19, 1999.
Nailed the USA's fourth penalty kick in the dramatic shootout with China to help win the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. She was named to the All-Women's World Cup Team.

Scored her final goal in a U.S. uniform on Oct. 10, 2004, in a 5-0 win over New Zealand.
The induction ceremony in Oneonta also saw former U.S. Soccer President Alan I. Rothenberg inducted as a builder and former NASL standout Bobby Smith inducted as a veteran.
Alan I. Rothenberg served as the president of U.S. Soccer from 1990 to 1998, helping to transform the sport in the United States. In addition to helping the U.S. stage the highly successful 1994 FIFA World Cup USA, he played important roles in founding both Major League Soccer and the U.S. Soccer Foundation.
Bobby Smith was a pioneer in the development of American Soccer, earning 18 caps from 1973 to 1981. He played for five NASL teams, including the New York Cosmos and earned all-star honors three times as a defender. He is one of only three American players to win three NASL championships.

Q: combining getChildAt with addChild i have the following code:
seatContainer.getChildAt(order.seats[i])

i want to add a child to this but it doesnt allow me, i can only add an eventListener to this.
Anyone know how i can add a child to this without using an eventListener?

A: If I remember correctly, getChildAt() from the container classes (e.g. VBox, HBox, etc.) returns a DisplayObject.  This object type does not have methods such as "addChild" -- these methods are introduced further down the inheritance hierarchy.
You'll need to cast the referenced returned by the getChildAt() method to something other than DisplayObject; I believe the method you want is in DisplayObjectContainer:
var child:DisplayObject = seatContainer.getChildAt(order.seats[i]);
(child as DisplayObjectContainer).addChild(your_child_class_here);

PLN associate editor quoted in article re campaign against US Marshals nominee Hylton - Washington Times 2010
Watchdog groups rip marshals nominee
Conflict of interest issue raised as an objection
By Jim McElhatton
Eight prominent human rights and prison industry watchdog groups Tuesday announced their opposition to U.S. Marshal nominee Stacia Hylton, a longtime Justice Department veteran who recently worked as a consultant to one of the nation's largest private prison companies.
The organizations raised conflict of interest charges concerning Ms. Hylton's consulting work earlier this year for the Florida-based GEO Group, which has held of millions of dollars in contracts with the Marshals Service.
"It is extremely worrisome that Ms. Hylton is nominated for a position where she would be directly involved in overseeing contracts with private prison companies to house federal detainees, given her cozy relationship with the private prison industry and her acceptance of funding from the GEO Group through her consulting work," said Ken Kopczynski, director of the Private Corrections Working Group, a nonprofit watchdog group.
Citing a report last month by The Washington Times, the groups pointed out Ms. Hylton's acceptance of $112,500 in consulting fees from the GEO Group after leaving her post earlier this year as federal detention trustee.
"This is a prime example of the revolving door between the public and for-profit private sectors turning full circle," said Alex Friedmann, associate editor of Prison Legal News, a project of the Human Rights Defense Center that reports on criminal justice issues.
"After cashing in on her experience in public law enforcement by taking a consulting job with GEO Group, Ms. Hylton has now been nominated for a high-level federal position where she will oversee detention services for the U.S. marshals, including services provided by private prison firms such as GEO," he said.
The organizations plan to discuss their concerns with the White House and the Senate Judiciary Committee. They said neither the White House nor the GEO Group responded to their questions about Ms. Hylton's relationship with the company. Among the organizations opposing the nomination are the Alliance for Justice, the National Lawyers Guild, International Cure, the Detention Watch Network, Grassroots Leadership and the Justice Policy Institute.
Last month, a White House official said Ms. Hylton would not require a waiver from Mr. Obama's ethics rules, which bar appointees for two years from working on matters involving recent clients. So far, more than two dozen high-level appointees have been given full or partial waivers.
"After review, it was determined ... she could easily be recused from participating in particular matters in which that client was a party," said the official. "This recusal, along with the Obama administration's ethics pledge and other ethics restrictions, will ensure that she can serve ably and effectively as director of the U.S. Marshals Service."
Ms. Hylton wasn't working as an employee of the company, but provided services to GEO Group through her consulting company, Virginia-based Hylton Kirk & Associates. GEO Group was the only client on her financial disclosure form, for whom she said she did "consulting services for detention matters, federal relations and acquisitions and mergers" from March through July of this year.
Marshals Service contracts generate an important source of revenue for the GEO Group.
Ms. Hylton has supporters, including the National Sheriff's Association, which told the Judiciary Committee of her "extraordinary qualifications, experience and expertise."
Ms. Hylton said if she is confirmed, her consulting firm would remain dormant except to comply with any legal and tax requirements while it's inactive. She also said $105,000 in annual retirement pay would end upon her appointment.

Revered judge and civil rights icon Damon J. Keith dies
Updated: 9:52 AM
DETROIT (AP) — Damon J. Keith, a federal judge famous for being sued President Richard Nixon and an iconic national figure in the civil rights movement has died at the age of 96.
Swanson Funeral Home in Detroit confirmed that the judge died Sunday morning but did not have any other details.
Keith was appointed to the U.S. District Court in 1967. According to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, he was the only African American among six current federal judges to have served more than 50 years.
The case that raised Nixon's ire came in 1971, when Keith ruled wiretapping couldn't be done without a court order. Thirty years later, he ruled President George W. Bush couldn't conduct secret deportation hearings of terrorism suspects.

Q: How to get the equilibrium index of an array in O(n)? I have done a test in C++ asking for a function that returns one of the indices that splits the input vector in 2 parts having the same sum of the elements, for eg: for the vec = {1, 2, 3, 5, 4, -1, 1, 1, 2, -1}, it may return 3, because 1+2+3 = 6 = 4-1+1+1+2-1. So I have done the function that returns the correct answer:
int func(const std::vector< int >& vecIn)
{
   for (std::size_t p = 0; p < vecin.size(); p++)
   {
      if (std::accumulator(vecIn.begin(), vecIn.begin() + p, 0) ==
          std::accumulator(vecIn.begin() + p + 1, vecIn.end(), 0))
             return p;
   }
   return -1;
}

My problem was when the input was a very long vector containing just 1 (or -1), the return of the function was slow. So I have thought of starting the search for the wanted index from middle, and then go left and right. But the best approach I suppose is the one where the index is in the merge-sort algorithm order, that means: n/2, n/4, 3n/4, n/8, 3n/8, 5n/8, 7n/8... where n is the size of the vector. Is there a way to write this order in a formula, so I can apply it in my function?
Thanks

EDIT
After some comments I have to mention that I had done the test a few days ago, so I have forgot to put and mention the part of no solution: it should return -1... I have updated also the question title.

A: You can solve the problem much faster without calling std::accumulator at each step:
int func(const std::vector< int >& vecIn)
{
   int s1 = 0;
   int s2 = std::accumulator(vecIn.begin(), vecIn.end(), 0);
   for (std::size_t p = 0; p < vecin.size(); p++)
   {
       if (s1 == s2)
           return p;
       s1 += vecIn[p];
       s2 -= vecIn[p];
   }
}

This is O(n). At each step, s1 will contain the sum of the first p elements, and s2 the sum of the rest. You can update both of them with an addition and a subtraction when moving to the next element.
Since std::accumulator needs to iterate over the range you give it, your algorithm was O(n^2), which is why it was so slow for many elements.

A: Considering MSalters comments, I'm afraid another solution would be better. If you want to use less memory, maybe the selected answer is good enough, but to find the possibly multiple solutions you could use the following code:
static const int arr[] = {5,-10,10,-10,10,1,1,1,1,1};
std::vector<int> vec (arr, arr + sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]) );

// compute cumulative sum
std::vector<int> cumulative_sum( vec.size() );
cumulative_sum[0] = vec[0];
for ( size_t i = 1; i < vec.size(); i++ )
{ cumulative_sum[i] = cumulative_sum[i-1] + vec[i]; }

const int complete_sum = cumulative_sum.back();

// find multiple solutions, if there are any
const int complete_sum_half = complete_sum / 2; // suggesting this is valid...
std::vector<int>::iterator it = cumulative_sum.begin();
std::vector<int> mid_indices;
do {
  it = std::find( it, cumulative_sum.end(), complete_sum_half );

  if ( it != cumulative_sum.end() )
  { mid_indices.push_back( it - cumulative_sum.begin() ); ++it; }

} while( it != cumulative_sum.end() );

for ( size_t i = 0; i < mid_indices.size(); i++ )
{ std::cout << mid_indices[i] << std::endl; }

std::cout << "Split behind these indices to obtain two equal halfs." << std::endl;

This way, you get all the possible solutions. If there is no solution to split the vector in two equal halfs, mid_indices will be left empty.
Again, you have to sum up each value only once.
My proposal is this:
static const int arr[] = {1,2,3,5,4,-1,1,1,2,-1};
std::vector<int> vec (arr, arr + sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]) );

int idx1(0), idx2(vec.size()-1);
int sum1(0), sum2(0);
int idxMid = -1;
do {
  // fast access without using the index each time.
  const int& val1 = vec[idx1];
  const int& val2 = vec[idx2];

  // Precompute the next (possible) sum values.
  const int nSum1 = sum1 + val1;
  const int nSum2 = sum2 + val2;

  // move the index considering the balanace between the
  // left and right sum.
  if ( sum1 - nSum2 < sum2 - nSum1 )
  { sum1 = nSum1; idx1++; }
  else
  { sum2 = nSum2; idx2--; }

  if ( idx1 >= idx2 ){ idxMid = idx2; }

} while( idxMid < 0 && idx2 >= 0 && idx1 < vec.size() );

std::cout << idxMid << std::endl;

It does add every value only once no matter how many values. Such that it's complexity is only O(n) and not O(n^2).
The code simply runs from left and right simultanuously and moves the indices further if it's side is lower than the other.

A: To answer the actual question: Your sequence n/2, n/4, 3n/5, n/8, 3n/8 can be rewritten as
1*n/2
1*n/4 3*n/4
1*n/8 3*n/8 5*n/8 7*n/8
...

that is to say, the denominator runs from i=2 up in powers of 2, and the nominator runs from j=1 to i-1 in steps of 2. However, this is not what you need for your actual problem, because the example you give has n=10. Clearly you don't want n/4 there - your indices have to be integer.
The best solution here is to recurse. Given a range [b,e], pick a value middle (b+e/2) and set the new ranges to [b, (b+e/2)-1] and [(b+e/2)=1, e]. Of course, specialize ranges with length 1 or 2.

A: Specifically for this problem, I would use the following algorithm:

*

*Compute the total sum of the vector. This gives two sums (empty vector, and full vector)

*for each element in order, move one element from full to empty, which means adding the value of next element from sum(full) to sum(empty). When the two sums are equal, you have found your index.

This give a o(n) algorithm instead of o(n2)

A: You want nth term of the series you mentioned. Then it would be:
numerator:   (n - 2^((int)(log2 n)) ) *2 + 1
denominator:  2^((int)(log2 n) + 1)

A: I came across the same question in Codility tests. There is a similar looking answer above (didn't pass some of the unit tests), but below code segment was successful in tests.
#include <vector>
#include <numeric>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// Returns -1 if equilibrium point is not found
// use long long to support bigger ranges
int FindEquilibriumPoint(vector<long> &values) {
    long long lower = 0;
    long long upper = std::accumulate(values.begin(), values.end(), 0);

    for (std::size_t i = 0; i < values.size(); i++) {

        upper -= values[i];

        if (lower == upper) {
            return i;
        }

        lower += values[i];
    }

    return -1;
}

int main() {
        vector<long> v = {-1, 3, -4, 5, 1, -6, 2, 1};

        cout << "Equilibrium Point:" << FindEquilibriumPoint(v) << endl;

        return 0;
}

Output
  Equilibrium Point:1

A: Here it is the algorithm in Javascript:
function equi(arr){

var N = arr.length;
if (N == 0){ return -1};

var suma = 0;
for (var i=0; i<N; i++){
    suma += arr[i];
}

var suma_iz = 0;
for(i=0; i<N; i++){
    var suma_de = suma - suma_iz - arr[i];
    if (suma_iz == suma_de){
        return i};
    suma_iz += arr[i];
}

return -1;

}
As you see this code satisfy the condition of O(n)

The new OAYP advanced metric ranks the SEC's returning edge defenders.
Today, we're diving into the edge rushers. Those include defensive ends in four-man fronts and outside linebackers in three-man fronts. The league lost a ton of talent from this spot, including Josh Allen, Montez Sweat, and Jachai Polite, among others. As such, there's a relatively short list of qualifying returnees which could somewhat skew the marginal scores.
Regardless, let's tier the SEC edge rushers, just like we did with the offensive players, into superstars (marginal OAYP >1), second tier (marginal OAYP between 0.5-1), and potential breakout stars.
Curiously enough, these guys played a combined five games last season. Greenard suffered a season ending injury in the first defensive series of Louisville's season opener in 2018. Wonnum also went down in South Carolina's first game, against Coastal Carolina. He returned for a few games in the middle of the season, but didn't play in either of the Gamecocks' last two regular season contests or the bowl game.
Therefore, as denoted above, their 2019 projections come as a result of their 2017 production.
It's tough to just assume that a grad transfer, Greenard, will be one of the best edge defenders in the SEC next year, but there are reasons for Florida fans to be optimistic. He has a prior relationship with Todd Grantham from when the Gators' DC recruited him to Louisville. He also enters a situation in which the departures of Polite and Cece Jefferson have opened the door to plenty of playing time opposite Jabari Zuniga. Jeremiah Moon, his fiercest competition at the position is also missing spring practice due to injury. At this point, it almost seems like a foregone conclusion that Greenard will earn the bulk of the snaps in what was Polite's role. Greenard isn't an elite athlete, but neither was his predecessor. Superior effort was probably Polite's greatest attribute. Greenard, a bigger defender if not as explosive, shares that unceasing motor. He may not be as good as these numbers would suggest, but he's a film star. Everytime the whistle is blown, he's in the camera shot.
Wonnum is a bit easier to project than Greenard, or any grad transfer would be, because we've seen him be super productive in this defense. Assuming he's healthy, few edge defenders in the conference can wreak havoc like Wonnum. However, he needs to be more consistent. He had just two sacks in five games against teams that ranked in the top half of the country in adjusted sack rate that season, and five of his thirteen tackles for loss came against NC State and Tennessee, who ranked 110th and 125th in stuff rate, respectively. In fairness, he did have sacks against both Missouri and NC State, top six teams in sack rate, plus tackles for loss against Georgia, Florida, and Kentucky, all top four teams in stuff rate, so it's not like he's just showing up and stockpiling numbers against the hapless. The next step is simply being more impactful on a week to week basis.
Because Greenard is a transfer and Wonnum is coming off of an injury, Auburn's Nick Coe and Alabama's Anfernee Jennings would actually be my two best bets as to who will be the best edge rushers in the SEC.
Coe has been a personal favorite of mine to watch going back to his freshman year. He has continued to put on weight since then, whilst maintaining the speed and explosiveness that made him such a highly touted recruit. Now, a devastating blend of power and athleticism, Coe's 13.5 tackles for loss last year are the most among any returning player in the SEC and his seven sacks put him just one behind Tennessee's Darrell Taylor.
Jennings is not the raw athlete that Coe is, but he's a straight up bully. Long, strong, and mean, where you or I have palms and phalanges, Jennings has cement blocks, except the blocks aren't actually made of cement, they're made of fire and nails. I mean, there might be some cement in there, too, but I'm not sure. Regardless, he put those things to good work tallying 13 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in 2018.
Zuniga is in a good spot with Greenard coming in, even after losing Polite, and should continue to produce at a high level, as he has since he stepped on campus. After stagnating from his freshman year to his sophomore year, Zuniga made a jump last season, perhaps as a byproduct of Polite's emergence, but a jump no less. He could take another step forward in 2019 and join the ranks of the college football elite.
Taylor, meanwhile, was one of the lone bright spots on Tennessee's defense last year. As mentioned above, he posted more sacks than any other SEC returnee a season ago and should be poised for a major encore performance as his surrounding talent continues to improve under Jeremy Pruitt.
Having to replace Jeffery Simmons and Montez Sweat on a line that spearheaded one of the nation's most dominant defenses is no joke, but Chauncey Rivers could help ease that transition. He won't be Sweat, that's an unfair expectation, but he is the only returning edge defender in the SEC that didn't qualify but still managed to post a positive marginal OAYP score, although that's partially because the defensive formula is a little more value based than efficiency based, as compared to the offensive formula.. Auburn's Big Kat Bryant and Kenny Hebert from Vanderbilt are also a couple of names to keep an eye on.

J. Cole's Music Career Has Been Incredible So Far — Is He Retiring?
By willliams Last updated Aug 10, 2022
Ever because J. Cole swept onto the track scene, human beings have had heaps of appreciate for his skills and passion. One of the matters he does quality is developing lyrics that inform deep and insightful stories. J. Cole's track has stimulated tens of thousands and thousands of human beings over the years.
As a degree of his track's popularity, maximum of his films on YouTube pull in tens of thousands and thousands of perspectives and likes from fans. It's apparent J. Cole has been doing some thing proper from the first actual second he stepped right into a track studio. However, he is been making track for over a decade, and rumors approximately him probable retiring had been swirling. Is there any reality to what human beings are saying?
Is J. Cole retiring from the track enterprise? The rumors is probably true.
After spending a lot time devoted to writing and liberating extremely good track, it appears J. Cole is prepared to take it smooth and loosen up with an early retirement. In his documentary Applying Pressure: The Off-Season which premiered in May 2021, he found out he's snug with the concept of retiring early.
He mentioned subsequently being at an area in existence in which he's content material approximately now no longer setting any new track out. He additionally talked plenty approximately "refocusing, realigning, and taking returned manage of his time." There's absolute confidence approximately the reality that making track continues artists amazing busy. For J. Cole, he manifestly desires to cognizance on different matters in existence that is probably a touch much less time consuming.
What approximately that tweet from @TeamDreamville?
J. Cole based an American report label referred to as Dreamville. The hip-hop label changed into installed in 2007 and consists of an terrific roster of proficient musicians along J. Cole himself. The official @TeamDreamville Twitter account posted "J. Cole has formally retired" on April 18, 2022.
The tweet pulled in over 78,800 likes and heaps of responses. A lot of human beings withinside the remark phase are disillusioned that J. Cole goes to be retiring; however, different human beings appear to be completely great together along with his retirement selection due to the fact they need him to be satisfied and at peace.
What might be retaining J. Cole busy in retirement?
J. Cole has been married to his wife, Melissa Heholt, because 2015. They met whilst attending St. John's University collectively and saved their courting quite low-key through averting interest from the media. As of 2022, they proportion children collectively. If J. Cole isn't going to be busy withinside the studio making new track, it'll be plenty less difficult for him to spend time with Melissa and their youngsters.
Keeping the names of his children non-public is some thing that's pretty vital to J. Cole. He's in no way made an statement approximately what names he gave his youngsters once they have been first born or afterward. Since J. Cole remains the founding father of Dreamville, it's very probably he'll retain operating withinside the track enterprise in the back of the scenes, supporting manual different musical artists withinside the proper direction.

Working out 🚴is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. But there're times when you should take a break from exercising. While you shouldn't skip a workout just cause you're not feeling it, there're times that you definitely should take a break. Here're 7 of them.
Working out is good for you mind, body and soul. It's good for your physical health and helps you to be healthy and balanced emotionally. But you can overdo it. It's good to give yourself a day off at least once a week. Your body needs time to rest and recover.
Don't work out if you've got an injury. If you do then you're taking the chance on making your injury worse. A few short days of rest is better than having to miss weeks for a more complex injury you sustained by pushing through a workout when you shouldn't have. Giving your body time to heal is best. Unless you've seen your doctor and know it's okay to workout then it's best to wait.
Exercise is important but so is sleep. If you're sleep deprived, then you need the rest more than you need an hour in the gym. Lack of sleep has actually been linked to a weak immune system. Catching enough zz's can keep you from catching the colds and flu that're going around your office. Make it your goal to get at least 7 hours of sleep 🏨 each night.
Your body needs time to recover after childbirth. You may be anxious to work out and get back into your pre-pregnancy wardrobe but it's really best to hold off. Wait until your doctor gives you their okay to resume exercise. Working out before your doctor approves it could cause injury. Spend your recovery focusing on yourself and your sweet little one.
If you're sick then it may be best to take a break from working out. Allergies or a small cold are usually okay to proceed with your workout but other illnesses such as bronchitis or a stomach virus aren't. There's a basic guideline that says if an illness is above the neck (such as a cold) then it's okay to exercise but if it's below the neck (such as bronchitis or a stomach virus) then wait till you're well. When you're sick then your body needs time rest, plenty of fluids and sometimes medication. Taking care of yourself can help you get back in the gym sooner.
You need your feet to be in good shape to exercise. If you've got blisters then you need to wait until they're healed. Whether you danced the night way 👡 in heels that hurt or your flats left blisters where they pinched, let your feet recover. Exercising with blisters can cause them to worsen, not to mention make them hurt terribly. If you've chosen a workout that can be done barefoot, such as yoga, then go for it.
Sometimes a workout just isn't happening. Your day is beyond crazy. You may have worked a full day, had a night class and have a test to study for tomorrow. Whatever the circumstances, some days don't allow for a workout. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just set it as a goal for tomorrow and move on.
These're 7 times you should take a break from exercising. When do you give yourself the day off? I always read your comments!

I'm editing and reediting my answer about $(ls *.txt) (I think it's bad) at this Question and have gotten 7 upvotes. However, on my User Summary page waltinator the question is shown with +78 points.
Should I really get 78 points from 7 upvotes?
As Jacob Vlijm says, this is because the answer has recieved 8 upvotes and 1 downvote. Each upvote gives you +10 reputation and the downvote gives you -2.

Y'all, I know it's not Wednesday yet, but listen. One of my fellow creatives reached out to me and asked me to spread this message, so here it is (plus some of my own commentary, of course).
I'm Anteup D from Hampton, Virginia and we've got a problem. One of my most popular songs, "I Just Might" was stolen by a UK artist by the name of Macca Wiles.
I checked my DMs on Instagram to see a message from a fan of mine. In the DM is a link to a video called "I Just Might" (Remember, that's the name of one of my tracks). Quickly, I clicked on the link to find that the person on the track was ANOTHER rapper named Macca Wiles. I'd never even heard of him until today.
Excuse me while I try to find my holy water.
Once I listened to the song in its entirety, I went on social media to let everybody know that Macca Wiles stole not only the name, but also the hook and the beat of my song!
...and here's Macca Wiles performing the exact same song.
Everybody in the 75 ( the area in Virginia that I'm from) is going crazy on Facebook, Twitter and IG for me. Since the news broke, people in other states have called in to show their support, and others are even making YouTube videos to address the issue. In the words of Jesse Williams, Macca Wiles is "gentrifying our genius". That's right, OUR genius. Today it was me, but tomorrow, it could be one of your favorites. It could be you.
Even if you don't like trap music, or my music specifically, I'm still asking you to share this story with others. Macca Wiles has a big following, but we still have the power to fight back.
What y'all choose to do with this info is up to you, but I couldn't let this one go. I know Anteup D works HARD on his music and I'd hate to see him go down like this.

Scarecrow Wine, JJ Cohn Estate Menu
[ Next ][ Previous ]
May, 15th, 2008
A Scarecrow with a soul
By James Laube
Napa's latest Cabernet star has roots that run deep in both Rutherford dust and Hollywood glamour. Like its kindly namesake from The Wizard of Oz, Scarecrow has helped its new partners find a way home.
Many local vintners consider Scarecrow one of the crown jewels of Napa Valley. Rising up against the western hills of Ruther-ford, adjacent to Francis Ford Coppola's prestigious Rubicon Estate, the property is graced with a majestic Victorian mansion and landscaped with stumpy old vines in a vineyard rooted in deep loamy soils, whose grapes have contributed to many of Napa's greatest Cabernets. The 2004 vintage (96 points, $125 on release) is amazingly rich and complex, with tiers of flavor and impeccable balance, demonstrating why this is such a treasured site.
But not long ago, the estate was in turmoil. A disputed inheritance and a family feud had deep-pocketed wolves circling the door. A historic property was in danger of disappearing, until Coppola stepped in. The famed filmmaker and owner of Rubicon put up the money to buy the property and help install its current owners, Bret Lopez and Mimi DeBlasio.
Scarecrow has its origins in Hollywood; the late Joseph Judson (J.J.) Cohn, former head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and producer of The Wizard of Oz, purchased the 200-acre property in 1942. Cohn spent most of his time in Hollywood, overseeing the making of classics such as Mutiny on the Bounty, Gigi and National Velvet. But he maintained close connections with Napa vintners, planting his first vines in 1945 at the urging of Inglenook's John Daniel Jr., who saw the property as an extension of Inglenook (now Coppola's Rubicon Estate).
The J.J. Cohn Ranch has a rich heritage. It has ties to the grand Inglenook Cabernets of the Daniel era that have come to define Napa Cabernet at its zenith. Over the years, the grapes have gone into wines made by Joseph Phelps (Insignia), Robert Mondavi Winery (Reserve) and Etude. It has also been a part of Beaulieu Vineyard's Georges de Latour bottling.
After Cohn died at age 100 in 1996, his heirs were forced to put the property, then with 85 acres in mostly Cabernet, up for sale to settle a family dispute over inheritance. Once word got out that the Cohn Ranch would be offered to the highest bidder, many of Napa's big-money Cabernet players tendered offers, including the Rothschilds of Opus One, Phelps, and Andy Beckstoffer of Beckstoffer Vineyards.
Lopez wanted the property too—or at least a piece of it—for different reasons. Lopez was one of Cohn's grandchildren and had a bond with the ranch, having spent carefree summers there as a child and later with DeBlasio and their children.
But Lopez and DeBlasio, both now 59, didn't have the money to buy out Lopez's two sisters. The property had been assessed at $4 million in 1996, Lopez recalls, so he was stunned when, in 2002, bidding escalated to nearly $34 million. Coppola didn't flinch. "Francis had reasons [to buy it] that were obvious and that no one else had," says Lopez. "He wanted it above and beyond business reasons." Coppola had a deep appreciation for Cohn, the old home, the history and vineyard. He also didn't want a chic McMansion built next to his estate, Lopez says.
In the end, Coppola paid $33.6 million for Cohn Ranch. He divided the property with Lopez and DeBlasio. Coppola got roughly 140 acres overall, including most of the vineyard, with 60 planted acres. Lopez and DeBlasio took the Victorian house (built in 1875 by California's first Supreme Court Chief Justice, Serranus Clinton Hastings) and its environs, as well as 25 partially plant-ed acres and 2 acres of stumpy old vines that Lopez calls the "old men," Cohn's original plantings.
Neither Lopez nor DeBlasio knew anything about grapegrowing or winemaking. Lopez grew up in Los Angeles, often around his grandfather and his troupe of stars. Doris Day taught him how to swim. A highly respected photographer, his clients ranged from Levi's to Honda to Alice Cooper (he shot album covers for the mercurial rocker). DeBlasio also grew up in Los Angeles, in a home where celebrities from Charlie Parker to Jimi Hendrix hung out. Her work as a stylist included preparing Bette Midler's hair and wardrobe for a cover of Time magazine. When Lopez and DeBlasio met on a blind date in 1986, they learned that for years they had lived six blocks from one another.
The shift from Hollywood and their careers to Napa winegrowing was huge. "There was a lot of bad blood [in the family] after grandpa died," Lopez recalls. "No one had taken care of the property." The lack of attention to the vines reached a boiling point when in 2002 one-third of the crop was lost to sunburn. "The more I learned, the madder I got," he says.
Then Lopez met Gary Morisoli, who whipped the vineyard into shape, and Celia Welch Masyczek, one of Napa's top hired-gun winemakers. Lopez's interview with Masyczek included a tasting of one of her client's Cabernets, the Hollywood & Vine Cellars Cabernet 2480. Lopez took one sip of the barrel sample and proclaimed, "Wow, that's exactly what I want my wine to taste like."
The vineyard is a work in progress, with all 25 acres under vine since 2005. The "old men"—now in their 60s—give Scarecrow "an intensity and balance that's just amazing," says Masyczek, who makes Cabernet under her own Corra label as well as for Rocca Family Vineyard and D.R. Stephens. The range in the vines' ages provide a challenge in the vineyard and in assembling the wine, which Masyczek says achieves a level of complexity unlike any of her other Cabernets'. "The old vines have an intensity of aroma and flavor that's remarkable—it's an important part of the wine. [The old vines] contribute to the wine. They're not a novelty."
The debut vintage, 2003, was extremely tight and almost Shiraz-like in its mintiness (88, $100 on release and now nearly $500 at auction). The 2004 is a tour de force of Rutherford Cabernet—dark, plush, layered with flavors, supple in texture and long on the finish. The 2005 (NR, $150, 800 cases) is a shade more elegant, exquisitely balanced, with a silky texture and hints of currant, mint and bay leaf, a trait that comes from one of the vineyard blocks.
The 2006, tasted from barrel, is bigger and riper than the 2005, and more in line with the 2004, ex-hibiting intense, complex grapey currant, plum and spice. Masyczek also poured samples of the 2007, which had just finished malolactic, to demonstrate how the different vineyard blocks contribute to the final blend. The old-vines sample was dark, rich and balanced, with excellent concentration. Other blocks showed a distinct herbal quality, a savory edge and the loamy earth flavors that give the wine its depth.
In full production, Scarecrow could produce 4,000 cases, which would please -Lopez if quality can be maintained. He is intent on holding the price at $150. "I don't want this to be a wine that no one can afford to drink," he says. "The thing that's so re-markable about this project is I didn't know anything about anything, and it's only lately that I've come to appreciate how this came together." Grandpa would probably be just as amazed.

Meanwhile, brothers Lip (Jeremy Allen White) and Ian (Cameron Monaghan) are toying with the idea of college, while Sheila (Joan Cusack, in her Emmy Award-nominated role) is still housing Frank and making progress with her agoraphobia. As usual, the motley brood somehow manages to hold down the fort and make sure the bills are paid, the lights are on and there is food on the table. Based on the long-running hit UK series, SHAMELESS is executive produced by Wells, Paul Abbott and Andrew Stearn.SHAMELESS is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
HOUSE OF LIES, starring Kristen Bell and Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle, is a timely, dark comedy that dives head first into the Shark Tank known as corporate America. Marty Kaan (Cheadle) is the big-money earner at Galweather & Stearn, along with his hot, young team – The Pod, of big-balling power players – Jeannie (Bell), Clyde (Ben Schwartz) and Doug (Josh Lawson). Marty and The Pod's work life is all first-class, top-shelf, black Am Ex, the best suites at the nicest hotels. Marty is the ultimate power player and under his direction, this ruthless, pull-no-punches team is here to beat the corporate suckers at their own game – and they're loving every minute of it. Dawn Olivieri, Donis Leonard Jr. and Glynn Turman also star. The series is based on the hit tell-all book from best-selling author Martin Kihn (House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time). Produced by SHOWTIME, HOUSE OF LIES is created and executive produced by Matthew Carnahan. Jessika Borsiczky, Stephen Hopkins and Don Cheadle also serve as executive producers.

This season, Moody's back in L.A. and is hired by a mega-rich rap mogul Samurai Apocalypse (guest star RZA) to write the screenplay for his hot, new film property. Their friendship is tested by silky siren Kali (guest star Meagan Good), a singer who is Sam's protégé. Charlie (Evan Handler) and Marcy (Pamela Adlon) are co-parenting their son, along with Marcy's now-husband Stu Beggs (guest star Stephen Tobolowsky), and with the help of a sexy, English nanny (guest star Camilla Luddington).

Wazirpur Assembly Election | Aam Aadmi Party's Rajesh Gupta Wins
"The Postal Ballots Will Be Counted First Till Around 8.30 Am And Then The Votes Cast Through Electronic Voting Machines Will Be Counted," The Senior Official Said.
News Nation Bureau | Edited By : Victor Dasgupta | Updated on: 12 Feb 2020, 12:00:55 AM

Rajesh Gupta of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won from the Wazirpur Assembly constituency according to the Election Commission. According to the commission, Gupta secured 11,690 votes, defeated BJP's Mahendra Nagpal. The Wazirpur seat voted on February 8, along with 69 other constituencies. The Wazirpur assembly seat falls in the Chandni Chowk district of National Capital. Counting of votes polled in the high-stakes Delhi Assembly election began on Tuesday morning amid tight security at various centres set up to carry out the exercise.
Exit polls have predicted a big win for the ruling Aam Aadmi Party, but the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders maintained that the surveys would fall flat. The counting began at 8 am and will be held in multiple rounds, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ranbir Singh said. "Elaborate security arrangements have been put in place. The exercise is being carried out as per the laid-down procedures of the Election Commission," Singh said.
Tight security arrangements have been put in place at various centres across Delhi, he said. "The postal ballots will be counted first till around 8.30 am and then the votes cast through electronic voting machines will be counted," the senior official said. "The counting centres are spread across 21 locations, spanning the 70 constituencies. Each centre has several counting halls, equal to the number of constituencies falling in that district," he said.
Each EVM consists of a ballot unit (BU), a controls units (CU) and a voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT.) After counting of votes through CUs from every assembly constituency, five VVPATs will be randomly selected and they will be counted, the official said.
The counting centres are located across 11 districts, including at CWG Sports Complex in east Delhi, NSIT Dwarka in west Delhi, Meerabai Institute of Technology and G B Pant Institute of Technology in southeast Delhi, Sir CV Raman ITI, Dheerpur in central Delhi, and Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Bawana in north Delhi.
The election, largely seen as a battle between the AAP and the BJP, was held on Saturday, sealing the fate of 672 candidates -- 593 men and 79 women. Nearly 24 hours after the polling ended in Delhi, the Election Commission on Sunday announced that the final voter turnout was 62.59 per cent, five per cent less than 2015, and asserted that it followed the laid down process to compile data, after the AAP questioned the 'delay'.
There were 13,780 polling booths where every vote was accounted for by the presiding officers, which is a time-consuming exercise, Sandeep Saxena, senior deputy election commissioner, said at a press conference on Sunday.

There are presumably many clever, interesting and useful tools and ideas in science and math modeling. The concept of scaling, though, is the most powerful one I've seen in that it makes very nontrivial predictions with just small helpings of information.
Let's start at the top. To scale an object means to multiply its every linear dimension by the same factor. It's what you would expect: a geometric shrinking or enlarging, like under a microscope1.
1. Let's say you have two hot metal plates identical in shape with a ratio of surface areas of $n^2$. The force of gravity on the larger of the scaled objects is $n^3$ times that on the smaller one.
2. If the two metal plates were tenderly rested on the surface of water, the force of surface tension on the larger one would be n times that on the smaller one, because surface tension is proportional to the length in contact with the liquid. This explains why you can't float a steel knitting rod on the surface of water, but you can float a steel pin. The surface tension holding the steel pin up is smaller by a factor of about 10, but the pin is lighter by a factor of about 1000.
3. The force you need to break the larger plate by tugging along its length is $n^2$ times that needed to break the smaller one in the same way.
4. If you were to pull these plates through molasses, the forces of drag on the plates due to the molasses do not scale in an elementary way- but to a first approximation, the drag force is proportional to the surface area. This means the drag is higher on the larger plate by a factor of (approximately) $n^2$.
And rates of processes scale too. The bigger one would lose heat that much faster. This does not mean that it cools faster! If they are at the same temperature to begin with, the larger plate would lose heat at a rate $n^2$ higher than the smaller one, because this rate is proportional to its surface area. The amount of heat it needs to lose for its temperature to go down by a degree, however, is $n^3$ times higher than the amount the smaller plate does, because this quantity is proportional to its mass. This means it takes the larger plate about $n^3/n^2 = n$ times longer to cool down by the same degree.
The above scaling relations hold because of the simple physics that applies. Actually, when the physics gets complicated, scaling rules still hold; it's just that geometric similarity is not a fruitful pursuit anymore. There are more abstract ways of using scales to work with the system- a bit more on this towards the end.
The ant is known to carry several times its own weight. Why can't we do this?
First, let's see how an ant would fare if it were about the size of a human. Much of the ant is strong tubes filled with mushy insides. (Insects have exoskeletons, like the ants' chitin.) If you were to breed a six foot tall ant, the weight of the ant would scale as $10^9$, and the load bearing cross-section of the chitin in its legs would go up by a factor of $10^6$.
How about load-bearing capacity? The forces its muscles could exert would scale as the square of the linear dimension. (The force a muscle can exert is proportional to its cross sectional area). In this case, the square of (2 m/ 2 mm), which is about $10^6$. A regular ant can lift at least twenty times its own weight; if the super-ant were to try this, the stress on its muscles would be $10^9/10^6 = 1000$ times that of the regular ant.4 Its muscles would rip.
Not so super now, eh?
Conversely, it follows that since you can stand on our legs without collapsing, you will be at least as strong as the ant when you're shrunk to its size. You can do the calculations; the general idea is that the capacity of a muscle-driven creature to bear it's own body weight (or any multiple of it) goes as 1/length of the creature.
The scaling rules tell us that everything will be different when we're shrunk by a factor of a thousand. From the example of the floating steel pin above, it follows that you should be able to walk on water, so long as it's relatively calm. You don't need a pitcher to carry around water; you can hold it in your hand like you would a football. It would take no effort at all to drink it- the super-powerful capillary effect would force it down your throat if you brought your mouth close to it. And yeah, you can hold your own against insects. You would be the iron man (or woman) of the insect world.
On the other hand, if you were scaled up by a factor of 80 (say) you would suffer the same fate as the super-ant. Your legs can only bear a load 5-6 times more than they already do when you run or jump- and the stress in your bones would be a factor of 80 higher even when mega-you were just standing still! Your knees would buckle and shatter, smashing every bone in your body as you hit the ground. Your muscles will have torn, and the hydrostatic pressure of the blood in your body acting over a height of 100 m would have forced it down your arteries before rupturing them and causing hemorrhaging. For the same reasons whales do, however, you would survive rather well in the water!
As J.B.S. Haldane put it in his classic essay, "On Being the Right Size," "You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving on the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away….A rat is killed, a man broken, a horse splashes." Haldane was being quite literal.
The above is an extract from a wonderful article about scaling in biology that goes into much greater detail of hypothetical changes of scale- highly recommended!
The above was just one window into the concept of scaling- we saw how the properties of real world objects varied in interesting ways at different sizes. A different set of observations can be made by looking at the same object at different scales: it leads us to all kinds of interesting ideas, like fractals and universality. Perhaps the most amazing use of scaling is a technique that involves looking not at an object (real-world or abstract), but at a mathematical model for a system at different scales. This process, called the renormalization group, is touted as the most impressive use of abstraction in science. It is quite hard to segue into these other uses of scaling here; they're fodder for Scaling II!
1. Strictly speaking, a traditional microscope does not scale an object geometrically, because of the nonuniform optical properties of the lenses. I don't know of any system of lenses that magnifies correctly along the viewer's line of sight- the depth- of the inspected object.
2. Of course, the above are special cases. You can vary the mass (and thus the density) by whatever factor you want so long as you're scaling it up in your head. We're talking about magnifying the size while retaining as much of the material's inner structure as possible: so if we wanted to scale up a clay pyramid, we would use the same kind of clay to construct a bigger pyramid, and its mass would scale like its volume does, as the cube of the linear dimension.
3. If you are trying to imagine this, pick up a thin tube of plastic- or a straw, and push on both ends of it. It kinks and buckles; this is the usual mode of failure for a slender beam or tube, like the ant's chitinous appendages.
4. This is essentially the same calculation as in the paragraph before it.
5. This tells us something apparently paradoxical: The larger you are, the lesser you ought to eat! While this sounds like good health advice, it is of course an incomplete picture. We don't burn all our energy as heat, we spend a large chunk of it in locomotion, a lot in circulating blood and nutrients around (and in other body maintenance tasks) and a fair bit in thinking.
6. Talk about biological warfare!
7. Because of the way natural selection works, it's not really surprising that this is the case. If the ant couldn't carry several times its own weight, there would be no ant colonies and no ants as we know them, right? It's the antropic principle at work.
The linked article about scaling in bug movies was wonderful. One of those instant-epics that have far too much good stuff to pick one to quote! In spite of that fact, the one thing that left me completely amazed was the bit about nature conserving safety factors - wow! That's almost a fundamental law there. Why could that be? I like the level of abstractness of the law - it can't be explained by just plain-vanilla "Nature strives to improve 'fitness'", because one might as well argue that nature might as well chosen another local optimum of having a different form and a higher safety factor with an equal 'fitness'. We know nature is trying to optimize, but why this local optimum?
Straitjacket reminds me - I should reply to your comments on Osmosis Jones, and the previous one on Text. Apologies for the delay, will do so soon.
A note on footnotes: do check out the tooltip-like popups in this blog (they are the little green daggers, ctrl+f for '†' ). I find these just excellent for wry remarks.
