We've watched the world evolve from the simple to the complex, from stone tools to the technology of today. Yet dozens of stories from native cultures seem to complicate this narrative that we've come to believe as truth. Tales of enormous megaliths and ancient outer space visitors have come from every corner of the planet.
According to tribal leaders, the strange man came forth from the Pukato-Ti mountain range, at first arousing fear but rapidly developing a messianic status among the natives. According to ancient tribal legend, the people of the village gradually became swept up in an attraction toward the foreigner, due both to his beauty—the white resplendence of his skin—and his benevolence toward all. They recount that this mysterious visitor was more intelligent than any among them, and in time he taught them valuable skills.
The legend describes one day when Bep-Kororoti exploded in an attack of madness, screaming and forbidding members of the tribe to approach him. It was then that the tribe witnessed, at the foot of a mountain, how the stranger was said to escape toward the heavens in a tremendous explosion that shook everything around. The story recounts Bep-Kororoti disappearing into clouds of flame, smoke, and thunder. With the explosion, the earth moved to such a degree that even plants were uprooted. The jungle was destroyed, the animals disappeared, and the tribe experienced a great hunger.
Ethnologist Joao Americo Peret, who had interviewed the elders of the aboriginal community in 1952, affirmed that the story of Bep-Kororoti stretched far into the distant past. If the cargo cult came forth around an actual being, modern investigators wondered what kind of person would visit the jungle of Mato Grosso in such a remote period, with a space suit and a variety of magic capable, as the Kayapo say, of knocking down an animal with a mere touch.
Certainly, Bep-Kororoti did not fit the type of humanitarian-minded North American soldier that the Tanna of Vanuatu continued to adore. Perhaps even more bizarre, when the history of the Kayapos was first spread, the space-suit design that had become part of the memorial ceremony for Bep-Kororoti did not yet exist in any space agency in the world.
Furthermore, the detail of the astronaut's departure "among clouds of smoke, light, and thunder" brings to mind the behavior of a modern jet engine. The mechanism of propulsion, according to legend, was commanded by what the aborigines took to be branches, and the ship, camouflaged in a tree. The legend recalls that the man from the cosmos went back to sit down in that special tree and moved the branches until it touched the ground. And another time, he produced an explosion and the tree disappeared into the air.
Perhaps the most intriguing manifestation of this cargo-cult phenomenon is exhibited by the Dogon tribe, found in the West African nation of Mali. Although they do not afford the same fanfare to their foreign visitor as the examples above, the knowledge they received is nothing short of miraculous.
In 1947, after having lived with the Dogon for more than 17 years, French anthropologist Marcel Griaule was offered an amazing story. Tribal elders revealed to Griaule one of their most closely guarded secrets, unknown even to the majority of the community.
The leaders related how the Nommo, a half-fish half-human species, had founded a civilization on Earth. Despite their primitive culture, the Dogon elders received a profound understanding of the solar system from the mysterious Nommo. The elders recounted the existence of Jupiter's four moons, the rings of Saturn, and the knowledge that the Milky Way had a spiral form. They were said to know even the sterility of the lunar environment and possessed an understanding that planets moved around the sun.
The most striking knowledge the Dogon retained from the Nommo ages ago was in regard to the orbits, sizes, and densities of the stars in the Sirius system. The Dogon accurately confirmed Sirius A, B, and C, and possessed knowledge of these stars that science has only recently been able to recognize.
Sirius C remained undiscovered until 1995, when astronomers noticed the influence it exerted on the movement of the whole system. Yet for hundreds of years, the primitive Dogon had not only known of its existence but also understood it in great detail.
How should we understand the story of the Dogon, as well as the myriad other cultures around the world that tell of contact with ancient astronauts?
Many may insist, as some scientists have, that the primitive Dogon must have had more recent contact with an astronomer who passed on these detailed explanations and simply added this knowledge into their age-old fairy tale. But does such an explanation serve in the interest of discovering the truth, or is it simply protecting our own culture's fairy tale—that we live in the most technically advanced society the world has ever known?

Former Your Heroes winner speaks about his experience after the awards
Dave Sims raised over £10,000 last year and says the support he received after the awards motivated him for his next challenge

This year's Your Heroes Awards take place on Wednesday, January 25 and we decided to catch up with a former winner.
Dave Sims won a Your Heroes award earlier this year after raising more than £10,000 for Help the Heroes charity by completing the Tour de France route on a Raleigh Chopper cycle.
The coach says the support he received following the award was phenomenal and decided to start training straight away for his next challenge to complete the Tour of Italy route, only this time on a "daft" fat bike.

Dave who's opening up a cycling cafe, Switchback Café Bar in December said: "The support I got from winning the award and contacts I made gave me the momentum to carry on.
"I'm completing my next challenge in 2018 on another wacky bike and I'm not making life easier for myself as it's one of the slowest bikes you can buy. I'm also going to be doing a lot of the route off course going through some of the back streets to make it even harder."
Dave Sims rode the Tour De France 2015
The 38-year-old is hoping to raise a further £10,000 for the Help for Heroes Hidden Wounds campaign which raises money to provide ongoing psychological support for ex-servicemen. After raising money for Help for Heroes, Dave visited Phoenix House recovery centre for servicemen and ex-servicemen who have been injured or become sick.

He said: "I went to meet the people there and I got to see how my money has helped them. I chose the charity because it is close to my heart and based on my values and beliefs. I'll be a life long campaigner for the charity. I've always been a keen cyclist and rather then being competitive, I'm one of these people who gets a lot more out of myself by doing creative projects for charity and I'm always trying to think of big ideas that haven't been done before."
Dave started training for his next challenge in January this year and has cycled over 10,000 miles to practice for his next route.
We have once again teamed up with the ScottishPower Foundation to launch this year's Your Heroes awards.
The year's event takes place at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Southport and we are still looking for nominations in five categories: Person of the Year; Young Person of the Year; Team of the Year; Sports Person of the Year and School of the Year.
Email your nominations along with a testimonial of up to 250 words on why they should win an award to jayne.middlebrook@trinitymirror.com or post it to Your Heroes, Jayne Middlebrook, Liverpool Echo, Old Hall Street, Liverpool L69 3EB. The closing date for applications is December 16.

Ballots need to be returned by Dec. 5.
Farm Service Agency County Committee Elections begin Friday. USDA is mailing ballots to eligible voters. The deadline to return the ballots to local FSA offices is December 5, 2011. According to FSA Administrator Bruce Nelson - the role and input of our county committee members is more vital than ever at a time when our country faces important choices regarding the funding and operation of our government.
Farmers and ranchers elected to county committees help deliver FSA programs at the local level, applying their knowledge and judgment to make decisions on commodity price support programs; conservation programs; incentive indemnity and disaster programs for some commodities; emergency programs and eligibility. FSA committees operate within official regulations designed to carry out federal laws.
To be an eligible voter, farmers and ranchers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program. A person who is not of legal voting age, but supervises and conducts the farming operations of an entire farm may also be eligible to vote. Eligible voters who do not receive ballots in the coming week can obtain ballots from their local USDA Service Center.

Locum doctors are holding the NHS to ransom by demanding "excessive" rates of pay from cash-strapped hospitals, the service's financial regulator has warned.
Some stand-in doctors are earning as much as £155 an hour for covering shifts in hospitals that are facing serious staff shortages, or in medical specialties in which rota gaps are common, such as A&E and radiology. The soaring pay rates have emerged through an analysis undertaken by NHS Improvement (NHSI), the health service's financial regulator.
The lack of doctors in the NHS is now so acute that one trust in the north of England recently had to pay £10,000 a week for three consultants it hired through an employment agency in order to a maintain normal service to patients.
Jim Mackey, NHS Improvement's chief executive, told the Observer that doctors who demand very high rates to take stand-in shifts are being unfair on permanent medics at the same hospital, who will earn less because they are on staff. The quality of care patients receive is also at risk because too many hospitals are relying heavily on temporary doctors, he added.
"There are circumstances where locums are necessary to fill short-term gaps and we recognise that the supply of doctors needs to improve. However, it is wrong from a quality, financial and fairness point of view to pay excessive rates for locums when they are working alongside hard working permanent staff on NHS terms," he said.
Mackey admitted that NHSI's concerted crackdown on the cost to the NHS in England of temporary staff has not yielded the savings expected among medical locums, who accounted for £1.3bn of the service's total £3.6bn bill last year for agency staff.
A year after caps were introduced on the amounts temporary staff could be paid, many medics are still being paid above the supposedly capped rates, because the shortages of staff in some parts of the country are so severe. In the seven months between April and October NHS trusts in England spent £616m on locum doctors, or £88m a month. That is 35% of the £1.753bn NHSI said that all NHS trusts had spent in the first seven months of the year. It means that hospitals are on course to spend £1.056bn on stand-in medics this year, almost 20% less than the £1.3bn they shelled out in 2015-16.
But Mackey is frustrated that while the average cost of shifts worked by agency nurses has fallen by 18% over the last year, it is only 13% lower than it was for doctors. Hospitals, which overspent by £2.45bn last year, could save £103m a year if every medical and dental locum shift cost £10 an hour less, NHSI estimates. Mackey told a recent conference of NHS bosses that, despite the crackdown, "we haven't yet laid a glove on the medical locum rates". And in the Health Service Journal last week, he claimed that locums were still "playing providers off against one another" in their quest for higher rates.
The ultimate goal, he said, is that "locum use, eventually, is seen as a rare, short-term event, and the costs are brought into line with substantive employment".
However, many doctors believe that if NHSI further cuts the rates that hospitals are allowed to pay, as Mackey has threatened, many medics will not bother taking the shifts, leaving units struggling to cope. Most locum shifts are worked by doctors who already have a job and are doing some extra work, rather than working as a locum all the time.
But a spokesman for the British Medical Association said that the growing pressures in the NHS in the face of unprecedented demand and its funding squeeze are prompting more doctors to work as locums.
"Increasingly, locums are employed because hospitals can't attract staff to take up full-time posts. Caps do not address the root causes of the recruitment and retention problems in many parts of the NHS, especially emergency medicine, and the government's plan to simply name and shame trusts or individuals will not address the underlying issues causing an over-reliance on agency workers," said Dr Mark Porter, the BMA's chair of council.
"A better solution for this issue would be to improve working conditions and rota management and introduce flexible shift patterns to help bring down agency costs," he said.

Q: Custom string implementation, operator + overload memory allocation issue I am trying to create custom string implementation in c++ and I have a problem with overloading operator "+". I want to append new string to existing one and when I try to allocate a new extended string, debugger allocates around 12 bytes more then it should. I have no control over allocation, he just ignores variable "length". Here is the code:
    class String
{
private:
    char *ptrNiz;
public:

String(const char *niz = "")
    {
        ptrNiz = new char[strlen(niz)+1];

        strcpy_s(ptrNiz, strlen(niz)+1, niz);

        cout << "stvoren niz: " << ptrNiz << endl;
    }
    String(const String& refString)
    {
        ptrNiz = new char[strlen(refString.ptrNiz) + 1];
        strcpy_s(ptrNiz, strlen(refString.ptrNiz) + 1, refString.ptrNiz);
        cout << "Kopiran niz: " << ptrNiz << endl;
    }
    ~String()
    {
        cout << "Unisten objekt: " << ptrNiz << endl;
        delete[] ptrNiz;
    }

    int Length() const
    {
        return strlen(ptrNiz);
    }
    int CharAt(int i) const
    {
        return ptrNiz[i];
    }
    void Ispisi()
    {
        cout << ptrNiz << endl;
    }

    operator char*()
    {
        return ptrNiz;
    }

    String operator+=(const const String& ref)
    {
        const int const length = ref.Length() + this->Length() + 1;

        char *temp = new char[length]; // ignores length and allocates more space

        for (int i = 0; i < this->Length(); i++)
        {
            temp[i] = ptrNiz[i];
        }
        for (int j = 0; j < ref.Length(); j++)
        {
            temp[this->Length() + j] = ref.ptrNiz[j];
        }

        return String(temp);
    }

};

A:
char *temp = new char[length]; // ignores length and allocates more space

All which your C++ implementation is required to do here is returning a pointer to a memory location with room for length bytes. Nothing more, nothing less. It is allowed to internally allocate more bytes, even though your code must not try to access them (or else the behaviour is undefined).
The low-level details of dynamic memory allocation is an implementation issue, not your code's concern.
A debug build is a very good example for a situation in which a C++ implementation may use extra bytes for debugging information. In fact, that's probably what is happening here. I suppose you are using Visual C++. As its documentation (CRT Debug Heap Details) says:

When you request a memory block, the debug heap manager allocates from
  the base heap a slightly larger block of memory than requested and
  returns a pointer to your portion of that block.
[...]
The additional memory allocated by the debug heap routines is used for
  bookkeeping information, for pointers that link debug memory blocks
  together, and for small buffers on either side of your data to catch
  overwrites of the allocated region.

Note that there are very many other grave errors in your code. I decided to ignore them for now and just answered the exact question you asked.

A: You are allocating twice, once in the constructor and again in the operator+= method. You also aren't deleting the pointer in the operator function so that memory is leaking. Either use smart pointers or provide an additional constructor parameter which specifies the ownership of the incoming pointer.

A: In your code please add the following line in to terminate the string with NULL;
String operator+=(const const String& ref)
{
   // You code goes here
    temp[length - 1] = '\0';
    return String(temp);
}

This will work as expected.
Hope this helps.

You can apply a watermark for free using a photo editing program.
Download a free trial of Adobe Photoshop or the free photo editing programs such as GIMP or Paint.net.
Open the program you just downloaded and open the photograph to which you want to attach the watermark. Although the wording will be slightly different from program to program, the steps are similar for each. GIMP and Paint.net are very similar to Adobe Photoshop in design, tool placement and wording.
Click "Layer" in the navigation bar of the program, and select "New layer."
Select "Overlay" and set the "Opacity" to 50 percent. A new layer will be created.
Click the "T" for the text tool; this will let you type in your notification. Change the font size to "48 pt," which will make the text large enough to be seen on the picture.
Type the words "Copyrighted Image" and press the enter button. You can reposition the notification by clicking and holding the mouse cursor on the word and move it to the location on the picture.
Click "Layer" in the navigation bar and select "Flatten image." This will allow you to save the picture with the notification now typed into it. Save the picture as a separate file so you do not change the original image.
Adobe Photoshop has a batch processing function where you can select to add a watermark automatically to a folder of pictures. The other two programs do not offer this feature.

Q: Is it possible to Host Provider Hosted APP in Dedicated Server IIS and Consume in Office 365? We need to setup provider hosted app in dedicated server and consume in Office 365. Is it possible?
If yes, then how we can take "ClientContext" to read/write operation to Office 365 Web list?

A: Yes it is possible. I worked on a provider hosted add-in which I deployed in IIS and was used by O365. When you create the add-in, give O365 site URL and log in. After that select SP Online as earliest version of SP that you want your app to target. Next you can select Web Forms or MVC according to your wish and use Windows Azure Access Control Service (for SP cloud apps)
Now you can deploy the app wherever you want. Give URL of IIS website while publishing and make the domain public.
I am not going into detailed steps as you will find many links on internet like
this
Regarding, ClientContext use it in the same way as you will find in demo code which comes after the project is created. No difference.
Hope this helps!

A: Yes , It can be done by following the steps we used to do with High Trusted Apps Deployment(Server to Server) in On Premises ,
Self signed certificate for your web app in local IIS
Register app using appregnew.aspx
Use the client secret and ID in the web.config

Please refer this for detailed info on this topic:  https://bishwadebdey.blogspot.com/2016/01/step-by-step-creation-of-provider.html?showComment=1486621176030#c1394076155011092551

Given everything from full, modern kitchens and free Wi-Fi, to a heated, indoor pool and uptown/downtown setting, itÂ's clear guests are overwhelmingly impressed with the new, pet-friendly Staybridge Suites Columbia. A non-smoking hotel that opened in 2009, this five-floor, interior-corridor, brick abode offers 93 spacious accommodations resembling upscale condos rather than mere hotel rooms. The modern kitchens, outfitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and rich cabinetry, are almost too pretty to use. Free Wi-Fi and wired high-speed internet, remote printing to the business center, sleep sofas and 42-inch LCD HDTVs are also standard issue. Enjoy a complimentary, hot, breakfast buffet served every day in the fireside lounge. Monday through Thursday, you can toast to a fun evening ahead at free evening receptions with beer and wine. Let off steam any time at the 24-hour fitness center. Of course, the indoor, heated pool suits all seasons, and the hotelÂ's pet-friendly policy is a major plus. Conveniently located off I-126, the hotel puts guests near the center of things, with easy access to points beyond. Attractions within a five-minute ride range from the University of South Carolina, Benedict College and Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center to the South Carolina State House, trendy Vista district and EdVenture ChildrenÂ's Museum. Columbia Metropolitan Airport is 10 miles. Thrilled with the "great" free breakfast and "mod" decor, guests get everything they bargained for at downtownÂ's new, pet-friendly Staybridge Suites Columbia.

This month we have a story from Célia Remédios from Lisbon, Portugal AKA Lita Letal. Proud member of the Litas Portugal and avid offroader. "Face your fears in your own time, establish your limits and find a way through it! Don't ever let your age, body or gender restrain you."
"Hi Moto Femmes from all over the world! I'm Célia, I'm 36, born and raised in Lisbon (Portugal), I ride a Kawasaki en500 and this is my story.
My love for bikes started with my grandpa from Azores. He rode a Famel Zundapp 48cc with the most awesome red helmet with a checkered stripe (which by the way didn't fit his head) and me, my brother and our older cousin just had a blast riding that noisy and smoky "made in Portugal" bike. I was about 5 years old. We were in the 80's, during the summer vacations in Azores, and I met my American cousins. They were in their 20's, they had tattoos and they rode bikes and I just wanted to be like those guys!
Later in the 90's thanks to my Portuguese-Canadian cousin I had contact with the most popular bike show we have in Portugal (Faro, Algarve – in the south of Portugal). He had a chopper, a snack-bar, and lots of friends with big bikes got together there. All that noise was music for my ears!
So of course I wanted a bike, but my father got me and my brother a Yamaha Target scooter (boring!). That was enough to learn the first steps but I wanted more.
I became the happiest girl when I turned 16 and my parents birthday present was a Yamaha DTLC 50cc! Yeah! And boy, that bike made lots of kms!! A boy from school had the same bike and started to ride along with me and got me into motocross, and I loved it! Still do! It was so funny because we didn't knew each other in the beginning, we just started to ride along together and a few days later we were riding and going out together almost everyday.
Yep, he was my first crush... and my first crash! I had a serious accident returning from the beach! Luckily he was behind me riding his bike and took care of everything (what a better way to meet my father!) The next year I fell with my scooter and my father forced me to take my driver's license - car of course... and that was the end of it.
I was really afraid to ride my bike and time passed, until my father asked me what we should do to that bike and something reminded me enough time had passed and I should go for it again. We sold that 50cc and, 33 years old, I went for my kiddo memories: got my chopper Kawasaki en500 and I'm (slowly) customising it.
I got really into it and I wanted more badass females riding along with me so in October 2016 I opened the first branch of the international female riding group The Litas (The Litas Lisbon) in Portugal, with my friends Inês and Margarida.
Along with it I'm having great experiences I never thought I would at this age! I was invited to go for a BMW Motorrad Circuit experience with a F800R and this was HUGE for me for so many reasons but mainly because I'm less than 5 feet tall and someone had to hold the bike for me at the start and at the end of it! I was scared and trembling, but I went for it anyway! It was a dream come true!
The same day me and my friends Fabiana and Susana drove 400km heading to the north of Portugal for a weekend enduro intensive course with the Portuguese Dakar representative, Pedro Bianchi Prata. In the end, we were dead tired but we learned a lot! And I was doing what I love the most: offroad! Now I'm just enjoying the best of riding with only a few friends, trying to do some stunts, just for the fun of it.
Life is short, don't waste it! My advice for the ladies? Face your fears in your own time, establish your limits and find a way through it! Don't ever let your age, body or gender restrain you. Dream and conquer and do it all with a smile! Be happy! And enjoy!"

Destiny's favourite child in 2013, Deepika Padukone has plenty to smile about. She's notched up one mammoth hit after another in the form of Cocktail last year and Race 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express completed her hat trick this year, establishing her position as Tinsel Town's newest empress.
But the year isn't over yet. If the initial trailer of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ramleela is anything to go by, the dimpled beauty may just have another crackerjack hit in her kitty, and this time round DP seems to have gone the extra mile with her performance too.
The actress claims that Ramleela is an extremely tough film and says that director Bhansali is such a perfectionist that he doesn't settle for anything less than what he has in mind.
"It has not been easy, it has been really mentally, physically, and emotionally demanding film," said the 28-year-old, who spent over a year on the project, to IANS.
"The fact that he is a perfectionist, he doesn't let go of anything. He looks at things a certain way and it has to be more or less that way.
"He has a vision and everyone works towards that. So, it obviously has been a very tough journey, as exciting and challenging as it was, it has also been quite tough. So to see all of that come together, I did get a little emotional," she added.
The actress also thanks her designer Anju Modi because her costumes helped her get into the character in the intense drama.
"Anju has done a fabulous job considering this is her first feature film... I felt in the character the minute I wore the clothes. I felt like Leela," said the actress.
"I think that is the most important aspect when a designer comes on board. It's so important to allow the actor to feel like the character," she finished off.
Set in a rustic region of Gujarat, Ramleela sees Deepika opposite rumoured real life beau Ranveer Singh and also stars Richa Chaddha, Gulshan Devaiah and Supriya Pathak. It hits theatres 29 November.
Are you looking forward to Ramleela?

Great for use in open play or in a sensory area.
Good too for use in fun games of throw and catch as they are ideal for a young child's hand.
The Irregular Sensory Light ball set has four balls with different uneven surfaces which hop and deflect at odd angles when they hit the floor.

Your pet is a part of your family. So, when it comes to choosing a pet food, you want the very best. But there are so many different options! How can you be sure to choose a high quality food?
Walk down the aisle of any pet supermarket. You will see brands labeled "holistic," "organic," "human-grade," and "natural." Continue walking and you will find high protein, grain-free, and gluten-free food. There are "novel" protein diets (e.g., rabbit, duck, bison). Raw, freeze-dried and dehydrated foods are also popular. And this is only the tip of the iceberg! GMO-free foods are now available for our pets, too!
So where do you begin? How do you know if a pet food manufacturer is as good as it says it is?
For the real answers, go right to the source. Contact the pet food manufacturer itself! You may get some of the information you need from their website. But, you can learn even more by emailing or calling them directly. You can learn a lot by asking a few simple questions. If they can't answer these questions, that tells you all you need to know!
Here are a few key questions that any high quality pet food manufacturer should be able to answer.
1. How Many Calories Are In a Cup or Can of Your Food?
This is a very basic question that any pet food manufacturer should be able to answer.
2. What Quality Control and Safety Measures Do You Take?
The manufacturer should be able to tell you where they buy their ingredients. The ingredients should have been inspected and approved by the United States Department of Agriculture.
3. Do You Have Your Own Manufacturing Plants?
Companies that have their own manufacturing plants are better able to ensure quality control. They can test their product each step along the way to be sure there is no contamination with mold or other pathogens. Pet food companies without their own processing plants often contract the jobs out to the lowest bidder. This saves them money but they are sometimes sacrificing safety. Sometimes the lowest bidder can be in another country 3,000 miles away. Pretty hard to keep an eye on things from a distance!
4. Is a Certified Veterinary Nutritionist or PhD in Animal Nutrition on Staff? Who Formulates Your Diets?
A Veterinary Nutritionist is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Nutrition (ACVN) or the European College of Veterinary Comparative Nutrition (ECVCN). If they have a "pet nutritionist" or "certified nutritionist" - these titles mean nothing.
5. Are Your Diets AAFCO Feeding Trial Tested?
well on it. The food has met the guidelines set by Association of American Feed Control Officials. This is the best way to be sure the food is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of the pet.
Good nutrition is so important for a healthy, long life. It is necessary to prevent disease. Nutrition keeps the immune system healthy. When choosing a food for your dog or cat be sure to do a little research. Ask a few questions.Then you can be sure that the pet food you pick is made by a company that cares as much about the health of your pet as you do!

Q: QGraphicsPathItem issue with computing boundingRect I am puzzled by a difference of behaviour between Qt5 (PySide2) and Qt4 (PySide). I get the impression that Qt5 has a bug but perhaps I do something wrong?
In short: when applying a computed QPainterPath to a QGraphicsPathItem (using setPath), the resulting size of the QGraphicsPathItem is bigger than the size of the QPainterPath itself by 1.5 pixels. This makes no sense to me, and with Qt4 the size was exactly the same.
I provide a simple piece of code to reproduce with both PySide and PySide2.
Using PySide:
#!/usr/bin/env python2

from PySide.QtCore import *
from PySide.QtGui import *

class Foo (QGraphicsPathItem):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        super(Foo, self).__init__()
        path = QPainterPath()
        path.addRect(0,0,10,10)
        print(str(path.boundingRect()))
        self.setPath(path)
        print(str(self.boundingRect()))

x=Foo(None)

And the result is:
$ python2 ./with_py2.py
PySide.QtCore.QRectF(0.000000, 0.000000, 10.000000, 10.000000)
PySide.QtCore.QRectF(0.000000, 0.000000, 10.000000, 10.000000)

Same size, as expected. All good.
The exact same code with Qt5:
#!/usr/bin/env python3

from PySide2.QtCore import *
from PySide2.QtGui import *
from PySide2.QtWidgets import *

class Foo (QGraphicsPathItem):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        super(Foo, self).__init__()
        path = QPainterPath()
        path.addRect(0,0,10,10)
        print(str(path.boundingRect()))
        self.setPath(path)
        print(str(self.boundingRect()))

x=Foo(None)

results in:
$ python3 bug.py
PySide2.QtCore.QRectF(0.000000, 0.000000, 10.000000, 10.000000)
PySide2.QtCore.QRectF(-0.500000, -0.500000, 11.000000, 11.000000)

Does anyone see any obvious explanation?
Thanks

A: The boundingRect depend on the QPen of the QGraphicsPathItem to calculate it as seen in the source code.
Qt4:
QRectF QGraphicsPathItem::boundingRect() const
{
    Q_D(const QGraphicsPathItem);
    if (d->boundingRect.isNull()) {
        qreal pw = pen().widthF();
        if (pw == 0.0)
            d->boundingRect = d->path.controlPointRect();
        else {
            d->boundingRect = shape().controlPointRect();
        }
    }
    return d->boundingRect;
}

Qt5
QRectF QGraphicsPathItem::boundingRect() const
{
    Q_D(const QGraphicsPathItem);
    if (d->boundingRect.isNull()) {
        qreal pw = pen().style() == Qt::NoPen ? qreal(0) : pen().widthF();
        if (pw == 0.0)
            d->boundingRect = d->path.controlPointRect();
        else {
            d->boundingRect = shape().controlPointRect();
        }
    }
    return d->boundingRect;
}

And if you check the Qt docs in both versions you will see that there was a change in the values of the QPen created by default:

*

*Qt4:

The default pen is a solid black brush with 0 width, square cap style
  (Qt::SquareCap), and bevel join style (Qt::BevelJoin).

(emphasis mine)

*

*Qt5:

The default pen is a solid black brush with 1 width, square cap style
  (Qt::SquareCap), and bevel join style (Qt::BevelJoin).

(emphasis mine)
If you want to observe PySide behavior in PySide2 then set a QPen(Qt::NoPen) to the QGraphicsPathItem:
class Foo(QGraphicsPathItem):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Foo, self).__init__(parent)
        self.setPen(QPen(Qt.NoPen))
        path = QPainterPath()
        path.addRect(0, 0, 10, 10)
        print(str(path.boundingRect()))
        self.setPath(path)
        print(str(self.boundingRect()))

x = Foo()

Output
PySide2.QtCore.QRectF(0.000000, 0.000000, 10.000000, 10.000000)
PySide2.QtCore.QRectF(0.000000, 0.000000, 10.000000, 10.000000)


For the past few days, I've taken the steps to meditate in the morning. For me, meditation is either during yoga (yoga is moving meditation for me), or laying in bed taking 10 simple, deep breaths and writing an intention for the day. Let's preface this by saying that I am a meditation beginner. I am by no means an expert on the topic, but these are some of the things I've noticed by simply taking that 10 minutes of breathing and writing or yoga first thing in the morning.
2. I get more things done- In the beginning, I thought meditation was a waste of my precious time (what like I can't take 1 hour or 10 minutes out of my day to do this?), but boy was I wrong. It actually helps me get MORE THINGS done. For example, yesterday I went to a yoga class to start my day, then went to Target, Petco, answered 3 hours of emails, attended a Lewis Howes webinar for an hour, hung picture frames, cleaned, did a photoshoot and watched 2 hours of the Bachelorette (me time lol). Not kidding. So when you wake up and take the time to connect with your body, you can in turn start to CHANGE YOUR MIND.
3. I start to check things off my long to-do list in my mind and do things I never would have- This morning, after setting my intention for the day, I got up, made my matcha latte, put on essential oils and watered the plants.. All before checking my email or Instagram. These are things I NEVER would have done if I had not started my day with meditation. Hell, I wouldn't be writing this post if it wasn't for meditation!

A Clarinet Masterclass with Anthony McGill
Sunday, Feb. 16, 2020 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Anthony McGill, principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, works with talented Princeton University student clarinetists in a workshop free and open to all. This masterclass will be followed by a brief recital by Mr. McGill at 5PM.
Clarinetist Anthony McGill is one of classical music's most recognizable and brilliantly multifaceted figures. He serves as the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic—that orchestra's first African-American principal player—and maintains a dynamic international solo and chamber music career. Hailed for his "trademark brilliance, penetrating sound, and rich character" (The New York Times), as well as for his "exquisite combination of technical refinement and expressive radiance" (The Baltimore Sun), McGill also serves as an ardent advocate for helping music education reach underserved communities and for addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in classical music. He was honored to take part in the inauguration of President Barack Obama, premiering a piece written for the occasion by John Williams and performing alongside violinist Itzhak Perlman, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and pianist Gabriela Montero.
McGill's 2019-20 season includes the premiere of a new work by Tyshawn Sorey at the 92 Street Y, and a special collaboration with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato at Carnegie Hall. He will be a featured soloist at the Kennedy Center performing the Copland concerto at the SHIFT Festival of American Orchestras with the Jacksonville Symphony, and will also perform concertos by Copland, Mozart, and Danielpour with the Richmond, Delaware, Alabama, Reno, and San Antonio Symphonies. Additional collaborations include programs with Gloria Chien, Demarre McGill, Michael McHale, Anna Polonsky, Arnaud Sussman, and the Pacifica Quartet.
McGill appears regularly as a soloist with top orchestras around North America including the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, Baltimore Symphony, San Diego Symphony, and Kansas City Symphony. As a chamber musician, McGill is a favorite collaborator of the Brentano, Daedalus, Guarneri, JACK, Miró, Pacifica, Shanghai, Takacs, and Tokyo Quartets, as well as Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnatan, Gloria Chien, Yefim Bronfman, Gil Shaham, Midori, Mitsuko Uchida, and Lang Lang. He has led tours with Musicians from Marlboro and regularly performs for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Festival appearances include Tanglewood, Marlboro, Mainly Mozart, Music@Menlo, and the Santa Fe, Seattle, and Skaneateles Chamber Music Festivals.
In January 2015, McGill recorded the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto together with Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic, which was released on DaCapo Records. He also recorded an album together with his brother Demarre McGill, principal flute of the Seattle Symphony, and pianist Michael McHale; and one featuring the Mozart and Brahms Clarinet Quintet with the Pacifica Quartet that were both released by Cedille Records.
A dedicated champion of new music, in 2014, McGill premiered a new piece written for him by Richard Danielpour entitled "From the Mountaintop" that was commissioned by the New Jersey Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, and Orchestra 2001. McGill served as the 2015-16 Artist-in-Residence for WQXR and has appeared on Performance Today, MPR's St. Paul Sunday Morning, and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. In 2013, McGill appeared on the NBC Nightly News and on MSNBC, in stories highlighting the McGill brothers' inspirational story.
A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, McGill previously served as the principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera and associate principal clarinet of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In demand as a teacher, he serves on the faculty of The Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music, and Bard College's Conservatory of Music. He also serves as the Artistic Advisor for the Music Advancement Program at The Juilliard School, on the Board of Directors for both the League of American Orchestra and the Harmony Program, and the advisory council for the InterSchool Orchestras of New York.

Question: Definitions: command vs. procedure vs. function
Question:Definitions: command vs. procedure vs. function
Posted: Scot Gould 472 Product: Maple
procedure programming language command + Manage Tags
I would like to know if there is a difference in the definition of the following words to describe a collection of code in Maple. Specifically, is there a difference between an internal command, an internal procedure and an internal function? Or are the folks who wrote Help using the three words interchangeably?
For example, Help describes "restart" as a command. That seems reasonable. It also describes "evalf" as a command.
Sin, cos and tan are described as functions. That also appears to be reasonable. "eval" and "convert" are also labeled as functions.
However, "unassign" is a procedure as is "animate". I could understand that since one might assume there is nothing returned. And yet one can assign an animation to a variable/name.
Section 1.4 of the Programming Guide discusses Maple Library Commands under the subheading of "procedures". However, section 3.15 discusses "function types" which with section 3.8 implies these collections of code might be viewed as functions. (And then there is the function operator of a procedure.)
I'm trying to compartmentalize the Maple language, but maybe I should not. My inclination is to call everything for which one uses a functional call (section 3.8) as a procedure. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Two Views on Horse Training Methods. Which Is Best?
While horse training methods vary widely, they can be grouped into two major viewpoints: intimidation and inducement. The intimidation viewpoint stresses that the trainer should use brute force to break the horse's wild character as it is subjected to domestication. On the other hand, the inducement school of thought prefers compassion; training using pacifying gestures rather than painful coercion.
As the two viewpoints in horse training are clearly at the opposite ends of the spectrum, neither can be completely accurate. But like most training methods in any activity, a horse training method that is mapped out as a combination of the two principles will most likely provide the correct way of training horses.
Horse training methods shouldn't be solely based on tradition. Centuries ago, pain and brute force were the heart of horse training methods. Many quarters in equine societies around the world have opposed this method and instead formulated a more compassionate approach.
Today, in an effort to balance the two extremes, a more humane and milder approach has evolved and is fast becoming a standard. Trainers today try to communicate with horses and learn how to reach out to the horses' needs.
However, this new trainer-horse relationship is still based on the same concept of reward and punishment; in that, while the trainer may be kinder to the horse, he or she will not hesitate to reprimand the animal when it gets stubborn and unyielding.
Truly, an effective strategy is one that leads to a better behavioral mindset for the horses. Domesticating a proud beast is a hard thing to do. But taking the easy way out by beating and abusing the animal may do more harm than good. On the other hand, too much affection may cause the animal to become nonrespondent. An effective horse training method should include both firmness and gentleness.
