Tributes pour in as award-winning artist and producer is found dead in Muscat, Oman.
World-famous musician and DJ Tim Berling, better known by his stage name Avicii, has died at the age of 28 in Oman's capital, Muscat, according to his publicist.
The award-winning Swedish artist and producer was found dead on Friday afternoon, his publicist Diana Baron said in a statement, without giving any further details.
"It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii," she said.
"The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time," she added.
Winner of multiple music awards and recipient of two Grammy nominees over the course of a 12-year career, Avicii gained fame with his energetic performances and top charts like "Wake Me Up", "Hey Brother" and "Levels".
His debut album, "True", was released in 2013, followed by "Stories" two years later. A third offering was due to come out.
The Stockholm-native collaborated with many high-profile artists and groups, including Madonna, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Jon Bon Jovi and Robbie Williams.
He stopped touring in August 2016, citing health reasons. His last performance was in Ibiza, Spain.
After news of his death broke out, fans and fellow musicians paid tribute to the Swedish star on social media.

A set of 11 international standard trade terms which last version is Incoterms 2010. Incoterms allows the parties to designate a point at which the costs and risks of transport are precisely divided between the seller and the buyer. Incoterms also allocate responsibility for customs clearance/duties between the parties. Since Incoterms are not law but are contractual standard terms, they do not apply to a given transaction unless the parties specifically incorporate them by referring to last version of Incoterms. Incoterms are elements of the international sale contract, which may be derived from the seller´s tender or proforma invoice. Thus, Incoterms only apply to the seller and buyer, one of whom will assume dovetail with the Incoterms in terms of allocation of transport costs and risks, but this will depend on the shipper giving precise directions to the carrier to ship according to the constraints of the given Incoterms. The 11 Incoterms are divided in two groups: those than can be used for any mode or modes of transport, and those used only for sea and inland waterway transport.
Incoterms for any mode or modes of transport:
EXW Ex Works.
FCA Free Carrier.
CPT Carriage Paid to.
CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid to.
DAT Delivered at Terminal.
DAP Delivered at Place
DDP Delivered Duty Paid.
Incoterms only for sea and inland waterway transport:
FAS Free Alongside Ship.
FOB Free on Board.
CFR Cost and Freight.
CIF Cost, Insurance and Freight.

What the Tik Tok Ban Really Shows
www.thecybersolicitor.com
State Surveillance
The ByteDance-Beijing relationship is more familiar than one may think
Mahdi Assan
On 14 August, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) giving ByteDance 90 days to divest the US operations of Tik Tok, its highly popular social media platform. The EO retrospectively invalidates the 2017 acquisition of Music.ly (the predecessor to Tik Tok), and requires ByteDance, along with its subsidiaries and Chinese investors, to cease ownership of assets and data used in connection with Tik Tok.
Microsoft remains keen on acquiring the social media platform, with Oracle and Walmart recently entering the race. The interest from these various companies is not surprising: Tik Tok currently boasts around 800 million active monthly users of whom spend, on average, 52 minutes per day on the app, which is more than Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. This is powered by a recommendation engine utilising machine learning to analyse a users' interests and preferences as they interact with a vast pool of content. Such digital wizardry is what keeps the eyes of millions glued to their personalised feeds, showcasing everything from sloth videos to renditions of #renegade.
The underpinning rationale behind the bold executive action taken last month is that the platform presents a national security threat to the US. Tik Tok collects and processes a plethora of personal data from its millions of American users. This includes user interactions, language preferences, hardware information and even location data (a software engineer on Reddit, under the username bangorlol, has claimed to have reverse-engineered the app to reveal the vast amount of data being harvested).
ByteDance is responsible for developing the algorithm for Tik Tok and its other various services, thus processing the personal data collected through the app. The concern is that, under China's infamous surveillance laws, the company can be required to provide the Chinese government access to such data or to develop its algorithm in such a way that supports the agenda of the Communist Party of China.
Tik Tok is China's first social media app to be available to the rest of the world, and thus may present a unique opportunity to pursue its foreign policy. In particular, that the platform has become so viral in the run-up to a US presidential election could mean a chance to engage in covert electoral interference to rid of a President who has not been the friendliest to Beijing. A speculative prospect perhaps, but certainly a possible fear within the Trump administration.
Oceans Apart?
The US is not alone in its hostility towards Tik Tok though: India also banned the platform earlier this year on similar national security grounds. The UK is also reportedly considering placing restrictions on the app short of banning it altogether. Yet, apart from the geopolitics, there are other notable points to be made about the Tik Tok saga.
The first is that other social media companies will no doubt be looking to take advantage of the potential void left in the market. Facebook has already introduced its alternative platform via Instagram, called Reels, and has reportedly been poaching talent from Tik Tok in anticipation of its demise. However, whether such rivals can replicate the success of the Chinese app remains to be seen. It has proven difficult in India so far.
The second notable point is that extensive, cryptic and seemingly unruly data processing is not just unique to Tik Tok. Other companies like Google and Facebook have also been guilty of engaging in similar practices and using people's behavioural data for various lucrative ends, most notably targeted advertising. Although, in the opinion of bangorlol, the extent of Tik Tok's data processing activities dwarfs those of other companies: "It's like comparing a cup of water to the ocean."
The third and final point is a broader one — the Tik Tok saga highlights the relationships that have often existed between the State and private enterprises, and not just in China. Ever since the Second World War, the US Federal Government has often kept close ties with the high technology ventures of private companies for various political ends. The growth of surveillance capitalism in particular has been partly due to the US's newfound focus on the 'war on terror' in the early 2000s and the resulting binds between the intelligence agencies and the tech sector. As Margaret O'Mara puts in her book, The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America, the tale of Silicon Valley "is one of entrepreneurship and government."
Even so, an important difference between these regimes in the US and those in China is the involvement of a democratic process in the former. In the West, limits are placed on the State to ensure that it does not abuse its power and unjustly infringe on individual rights. These limits may not be perfect, but at least there are avenues for legal redress and debates about the adequacy of those democratic controls. Can the same be said for China and its autocracy?

either way i couldnt make it work in .net 4, so any help either on fixing this or just compiling .net 4.5 working code so it works without .net 4.5 framework on windows server 2003? it needs to be console app and i know there are ways to make it work in asp.net but i cant change from console.

A: I have managed to resolve this by doing following:
  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="defaultBasicHttpBinding">
          <security mode="Transport">

People, this week I have been having an organizationgasm. And you are now the beneficiaries of my linkage.
1. Tough questions for your things. As some of you know, I have winnowed this down to: "Would I keep this in my tiny house?
2. Pile of Index Cards. This guy is very enthusiastic. I learned that U.S. index card manufacturers are way, way too casual, because relating cut to grid is important.
3. Flickr tag: whatsinmybag. See also: whatsinyourbag. I find this interesting for the bags alone, if nothing else!
But I do live in a tiny house!
Not 100 sq ft, though.
Right, but that's just crazy talk.


Here's how to make sure you get caught breaking the law... do it during a TV broadcast.
A dentist in Clifton, New Jersey named Wayne Gangi put up some racy Easter decorations outside his office this year. It's five mannequins in lingerie, wearing bunny ears, fishnet stockings, and holding Easter baskets.
A lot of people have been stopping to take pictures, and the city says he's not breaking any laws.
But a woman who lives across the street thinks it's disgusting. So on Tuesday, she started tearing down the display while a local reporter was there doing a story on it.
The neighbor's name is Desiree Mozek. She showed up with scissors and started cutting the mannequins down. Then she dismantled them in Wayne's driveway, and removed their heads.
It's not clear if Wayne is pressing charges or not. But he told the reporter he was heading to City Hall to take care of it, and the decorations would definitely be going back up.

Lydian Hoard: Tom Hoving Response to Turkish Media
April 24, 2021 April 24, 2021 ~ Suzan Mazur
THOMAS HOVING
1987 Lydian Hoard remarks to Turkish media by Connoisseur magazine Editor-in-Chief/ former Metropolitan Museum of Art Director, Thomas Hoving
"I believe the East Greek Treasure, as it was called by the curator of Greek and Roman Art, Dietrich von Bothmer, had a couple of hundred pieces in it. And they were bought in either three or four groups over a period of time from the mid-1960s until about 1968. I became director [of the Metropolitan Museum of Art] on the 1st of April, 1967. And at one of the meetings of the board committee which decided on acquisitions, a number of these pieces were proposed. I can't remember how much. There were 40 or 50 of them. And they were described as being part of the other pieces in what was described, as I said, as the East Greek Treasure. . . .
And some of the key pieces, that lovely ewer with the man stretched back holding the [lions].
A portion, I think, some of the most important pieces in silver of what the Metropolitan calls the East Greek Treasure—what you call the Lydian Hoard—was placed on view then, and then later when they were able to get the money to build a gallery. . . .
Well, it depends on your point of view. As Director, with many curators all wanting to buy something, all waiting for me to raise money and go out and influence trustees to give money, whether they called it East Greek or whether they called it Greek or silver or ancient or Achaemenian or whatever, it didn't get much into my memory. You wanted it. You raised lots of money. It was in the "Age of Piracy".
The Age of Piracy, as far as American museums collecting antiquities. You didn't ask anybody where they came from. You didn't go to any authorities in any of the countries where they could have come from. You didn't go to any officials in the United States. There were no rules or regulations about whether they had to be imported legally or illegally. If you liked them and you had the money, you bought them. And that's exactly what we did. . . .
Well, I think that the case has been made very strongly where they eventually came from. I think now it can be established that the major pieces, not every single one of the 90 [sic] pieces can be proved, but the major part of the stylistic entity comes from a tomb in Lydia in Turkey, and probably illegally. And I think that at the time that was not known or cared about. But I think today that it's been very, very clearly established. . . . .
In the early 1970s, there was an associate curator of Greek and Roman Art whose name was Andrew Oliver.
[Note: Andrew Oliver served from 1960 to 1970 as assistant, and later associate curator of Greek and Roman Art at the Metropolitan Museum.]
He [Oliver] apparently went over and he went into the tomb reportedly where he thought these objects were found. And I remember he came back and told me that he had been in the tomb where they were supposed to have been found. . . .
I'm not sure whether he was sent. I'm not positive he was sent. He may have gone on his own and. . .went there.
Oh, I think everybody realizes that the chances were good that that came from this part of the world. Because you got the point one was not sure whether it was one single group of objects or 10 groups of various objects brought together by a dealer to get a higher price and say: This is one single hoard.
The dealer never claimed that. They said these were things that seemed to have a stylistic relationship. And it was the curator who began to realize that it must have come from one place.
But all of the pieces did not come from this one tomb. I think that's well admitted in Turkish circles also. The bulk of it did.
But back then, as I say, it was a different climate. Until the UNESCO draft treaty was worked out and thought out, it was assumed that this was the age of collecting on a laissez faire basis. You found something on the market, whether it was in Switzerland or [elsewhere] in Europe or New York City. Buy it.
Well, as I say, during the time when the Turkish government would say we'd like to come and talk to you, or say they'd send a letter saying we would like to have these objects back—and we never received the letter at the Met—this is one period when one wasn't sure what the heck was going on.
Now, however, when it's been established very clearly that these pieces—the majority of them—the important ones—did come from a certain tomb in Lydia: We know the person who helped to break into the place. We know the names of the people who helped to relieve the tomb of its objects. We know the name of the dealer in Turkey who's responsible for getting them from the villagers and then out of the country. It seems that it's a very difficult thing today in the new climate of import/export [to say]: Look you can't have them back.
I think that it's inevitable that the Metropolitan Museum has a responsibility now to admit—Well we got stung. The Lydian Hoard is part of Turkey's cultural patrimony and has to go back.
I think it's a very simple thing. . . .
It would seem to me that both the Turkish authorities and the Metropolitan Museum of Art should meet and talk outside of a court of law how best to approach this problem. The Turks know that these are part of the cultural heritage of Turkey. The Metropolitan Museum presumably knows that.
But at the time when they [the Met] bought them—going back to 1966, 65, 66, 67, 68, it was a different climate. And there were no treaties. And nobody really gave a thought about import and export. And the Metropolitan Museum can argue that indeed they bought those on the open market. And, indeed, they were the neutral third party, as it's called in law, and therefore have a right to their possession.
Well, the fact is that if both parties come and say: Alright, let us make some sort of a fine arrangement between two countries of people who are very intelligent and people who have responsibility and obligations as far as antiquities are concerned—
I'm sure if they approach it on that basis, they can work something out that's very fine.
Now the Turkish government worked out such a thing with Dumbarton Oaks down in Washington, which had a group of Byzantine silver objects that everybody knows came from a certain place in Turkey. And they made an arrangement whereby there would be a sharing of these objects from institution-to-institution across the waters, and Dumbarton Oaks would help in restoring on both sides in Turkey and in Washington.
Then it all fell apart because the Turkish authorities said: We want it all.
And Dumbarton Oaks said: Goodbye.
I think, 'We want it all' is not very realistic on the part of the government."

It'd be a bit rubbish if we just gave you all the answers! Why don't you take us through what you think about some of the ones you're struggling with (or just the ones you can't find answers to with books or Google!) and we'll try to lead you to the right answer with the rest?


Uneasy alliances are formed as Brett Dalton's Ward is brought back into the fold by Coulson, after a period of inactivity the last few weeks, as they infiltrate the new H.Y.D.R.A. with the help of a brainwashed Bakshi, Whitehall's lackey and the newly acquired Deathlok! Whilst Chloe Bennet's Skye tries to make it easier for Cal to be distanced from her and her mother, by spending more time with him. During this, the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. members like Adrianne Pallicki's Bobbi and Mac doubt their mission and Coulson's status as their enemy. Simmons and May have a confrontation that leads to the truth about Fury's toolbox. And all these storylines converges in the final act for an exciting ending that leaves us with no idea of where the rest of the Season is going to go.
'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' is truly one of the most exciting television shows on right now due to their very adept blend of action, story, and intense emotional attachment to the characters. Kyle MacLachlin's portayal of Cal, recalling their past and his failed dreams of a family is so traumatizing that one can't help but feel empathy for the psychotic killer. Being his most toned down this episode, Cal is a character that I don't understand why hasn't become an ally. When you have intentionally self serving Ward being used as an asset, and an apparently trigger happy Deahtlok, who needs to be programmed not to kill everyone, why is no one making an attempt to win over Cal? Especially considering that all his villainous actions were done out of a tragic backstory and love, none of which have reared their ugly head int he last few weeks when he's been with Skye & Jianying. Yet everyone's treating him like the plague, which is obviously digging deeper into his wounds and will ultimately prevent him from ever becoming good, or even normalizing. It's heartbreaking to watch and MacLachlin does it amazingly.
Ward's return brings about a lot of mistrust and anticipation of expected betrayal from his end; so his apparent cooperation actually creates just as much confusion and anxiousness for the audience. Now mix in some mysterious subplot with Skye's mother and Gordon investigating the fact that H.Y.D.R.A. may be hunting and experimenting on potential Inhumans, and you've got a season that's barreling towards the end with an explosive end.

A.V. Club Rates Mr. Fox on the Oscar-O-Meter™
The A.V. Club takes a look today at Fantastic Mr. Fox's oscar chances with their trademark Oscar-O-Meter™.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Premise: Indie film fave Wes Anderson supervises a stop-motion-animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's book about a crafty fox, his family, his band of animal associates, and their human enemies.
Pedigree: Anderson reportedly worked with his actors (including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, and Owen Wilson) on location rather than in a studio, looking for a different feel for the movie's audio track. Then he instructed his animators—remotely, according to rumor—to give the movie a look halfway between Rankin-Bass and The Royal Tenenbaums.
Oscar-O-Meter rating: 6. Even though it's been a strong year for animated films, it's hard to believe this won't get a nomination in the Best Animated Feature category. Although…
Advance word: …critics who've seen early screenings have been divided over whether Anderson's quirky sensibility is even funnier in animated form, or Fantastic Mr. Fox just reinforces his limitations as a filmmaker.
Read the rest of their predictions here and here, and if you haven't already, check out our look at Mr. Fox's box-office competition.

Mr. Fox's Foes
With the announcement today that Jason Reitman's new film Up in the Air is being moved up to Thanksgiving, that got us thinking about what films will be vying for an audience when Fantastic Mr. Fox opens in the U.S.
After the jump, a breakdown of some of the films opening around Mr. Fox, and how we think they might affect Mr. Fox's box-office prospects. Continue reading "Mr. Fox's Foes"
"Fantastic Mr. Fox" Poster
FirstShowing.net has posted the (in our opinion) excellent teaser poster for Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Looks to us like a teaser poster, no credit block, no release date. (Ed. Fox confirmed earlier that it's just a teaser.) I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was at least one more poster, if not individual character posters released over the next few months. According to First Showing, the poster should be in theaters across the country this weekend.

New Photo: Wes Editing "Mr. Fox", Jason Flies a Kite
Director Mark Romanek recently updated his photoblog with a picture of Wes (I assume in London) working on Fantastic Mr. Fox. Mr. and Mrs. Fox seem to be in a cage.
Romanek is in London doing post-production on his own film, out in 2010, that will also be distributed by Fox Searchlight. Full size picture here.

And, apropos of…nothing, here's a promo video that Jason Schwartzman did for the clothing store Opening Ceremony in which Jason flies a kite, something he's done before.
"Mr. Fox" is Schwartzman's Favorite Anderson Film
MTV Movies has a great interview with Jason Schwartzman about Fantastic Mr. Fox, which Jason says is his favorite Anderson film to date. Read the interview after the break.
LOS ANGELES — If there's one thing we've learned from all those "Ocean's" movies, it's that George Clooney has a lot of friends. Now the star has united another massive cast including Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman — although you won't actually be seeing any of them.
Instead, "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" has even more impressive things to show you. As we can see from the recent trailer, the stop-motion animated film (in theaters November 13) is a unique mix of kiddie-fare breeziness (it's based on a classic Roald Dahl children's book), indie-minded filmmaking ("Rushmore" writer/director Wes Anderson is in charge) and star-powered vocal chops. As our weeklong Fall Movie Preview continues, Jason Schwartzman pays us a visit to explain why "Mr. Fox" makes him want to cry.

Mr. Fox at Venice, Jarvis on Fallon
Looks like Fantastic Mr. Fox will be playing out of competition at the 66th Venice Film Festival. The film will be screened alongside new films from Michael Moore, Steven Soderbergh, and the Coen Brothers, among a host of other films from around the world. Anderson was last at the festival holding the world premiere of The Darjeeling Limited, which played in competition and won the Little Golden Lion prize. The festival runs from September 2nd to the 12th. (Which would make this the world premiere of Fox, coming over a month before the London Film Festival.)

Brentwood Police Station
Post author By UrbexDevil
Post date 11th August 2018
With an ever lasting itch to explore a prison or police station that needed scratching, the time came to explore Brentwood Police Station. Unfortunately solo but a great explore despite!
So after finding a good access point and choosing my moment wisely between passers by, I found myself within the grounds of the police station and soon inside.
The building is mostly stripped out and a bare shell but that wasn't the main sight to see, I had my mind set on finding the cells! After trying every door it was just my luck they were in the last place I looked.
Attempting the court house adjacent the police station proved unsuccessful.
History courtesy of Mockney Reject
In December 2015 Police and Crime Commissioner Nick Alston announced that 15 police stations were to be closed to the public in Essex as part of a £63million spending cut. Brentwood Police Station was one of 9 closing completely. He stated that the buildings were buildings were no longer fit for purpose.
"Police officers, not buildings, fight crime," Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh said.
"We spend too much on too many police buildings, many of which are either no longer fit for policing or are hardly used by the public to report crime.
Bentwood Police station closed to the public in April 2016, and was vacated in December 2017. Operations have now moved to the local Town Hall. The building was closed as it cost £10million per year in running costs, and would have cost a further £30million in maintenance to bring it up to standard.
Kemsley LLP announced the marketing of Brentwood Police Station for proposed residential development. The site extends to approximately 2.75 acres and a planning application is to be submitted for 70-100 dwellings as part new build, part conversion of existing buildings.

There are two many people who depend on agriculture. Since 1901 the proportion of people dependent on agriculture has almost remained constant i.e. 70 %.
Indian agriculture has suffered because of the inadequancy of finance, seeds, fertilizers, marketing and transportation etc.
The average size of holding in India is very low, less than 2 hectares or 5 acres. Small sized holdings lead to great waste of time, labour and cattle power.
Under the Zamindari system the cultivator was only a tenant who could be turned out of the land. The cultivator has to pay high rents for the land he cultivates and he has no security of tenancy and may be turned out of his land at any time the land lords desire.
The Indian farmers have been using old and inefficient methods and techniques of production. There is also a shortage of various kinds of inputs like HYV seeds, fertilizer, pesticides etc.

Q: c# datetimepicker set time On my WinForm, I want a user to be able to 'reset' or 'clear' the datetimepicker on a buttonclick. My goal is to set it to 00:00 AM, but am unable to do so.
I've tried:
dateTimePicker1.Value = ("00:00: AM");
int reset = int.Parse("00:00: AM");

dateTimePicker1.Value = reset;

The datetimepicker is in a custom format: hh:mm:tt
Any help is appreciated!

A: Try changing your custom format from hh:mm tt to HH:mm tt.
dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "HH:mm tt";
dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.Date;

As we can see at MSDN
https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/8kb3ddd4%28v=VS.110,d=hv.2%29.aspx:
"hh" - The hour, using a 12-hour clock from 01 to 12.
"HH" - The hour, using a 24-hour clock from 00 to 23.
So, we can expect the following behavior:
DateTime date = new DateTime(2015, 02, 19, 0, 0, 0);
Console.WriteLine(date.ToString("hh:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
// Displays 12:00 AM
Console.WriteLine(date.ToString("HH:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
// Displays 00:00 AM

A: Try this:
dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.Date;

Doing that, hours, minutes and seconds will be set to 00:00:00.

A: type of dateTimePicker1.Value is DateTime. So try something like this:
dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.Date;
dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "HH:mm tt";

A: You can try
dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.Date;

This will work fine.

Q: How can I use Vuex state array values in a vue component? I have a store.js file that have the following state and getter:
state: {
    isLoggedIn: false,
    user: {}
},

getters: {
    getUserId: state => state.user.id
},

After a user is logged in, the isLoggedIn becomes true and user is populated with the user's info as seen in image below:

As you can see I have a getter, in the store.js that retrieves the correct ID but when I go to use this in my component, it comes up as undefined.
My component looks like this:
const id = this.$store.getters.getUserId;
console.log(id);

How can I use the value of getUserId in my component?

A: I limit myself only to solving the problem based on the interpretation of the code provided
Solution 1:

const id = this.$store.getters.getUserId; I agree with the comment (kissu), but well regardless of where: in a hook, a method... You can use mapGetters in a computed property. Import:

import {mapGetters} from 'vuex // add this line in your component

 <template>
...
 UserId: {{ getUserId }}
...
</template>

<script>
import {mapGetters} from 'vuex
.
.
computed: {
   ...mapGetters(['getUserId']) // Also can use namespaces if preferred
}
...
</script>

Solution 2

You can used directly in  DOM

<template>
...
 UserId: {{ $store.getters.getUserId }}
...
</template>

I hope it will be useful

Q: "index 1 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 1" in python I seem to be having an indexing problem? I do not know how to interpret this error... :/ I think it has to do with how I initialized u.
I have this 3x3 G matrix that I created using the variable u (a vector, x - y). I just made a zero matrix for now bc I'm not quite sure how to code it yet, there are lots of partials and norms involved haha. x_j = (x_1 (j), x_2 (j), x_3 (j)) and y_j = (y_1 (j), y_2 (j), y_3 (j)). x and y are nx3 vectors. alpha_j is a 3x3 matrix. The A matrix is block diagonal matrix of size 3nx3n. I am having trouble with the W matrix (size 3nx3n, where the (i,j)th block is the 3x3 matrix given by alpha_i*G_[ij]*alpha_j).
def G(u):

    u1 = u[0]
    u2 = u[1]
    u3 = u[2]
    g = np.array([[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]],complex)

    return g

def W(x, y, k, alpha, A):

    # initialization
    n = x.shape[0] # the number of x vextors
    result = np.zeros([3*n,3*n],complex)
    u = np.matlib.zeros((n, 3)) # u = x - y
    print(u)
    num_in_blocks = n

    # variables
    a_i = alpha_j(alpha, A)
    a_j = alpha_j(alpha, A)

    for i in range(0, 2):
        x1 = x[i] # each row of x
        y1 = y[i] # each row of y
        for j in range(0, n-1):
            u[i][j] = x1[j] - y1[j] # each row of x minus each row of y
        if i != j:
            block_result = a_i * G((u[i][j]), k) * a_j
            for k in range(num_in_blocks):
                for l in range(num_in_blocks):
                    result[3*i + k, 3*j + l] = block_result[i, j]

    return result

def alpha_j(a, A):
    alph = np.array([[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]],complex)
    n = A.shape[0]
    rho = np.random.rand(n,1)
    for i in range(0, n-1):
        for j in range(0, n-1):
            alph[i,j] = (rho[i] * a * A[i,j])
    return alph

#------------------------------------------------------------------

# random case

def x(n):
    return np.random.randint(100, size=(n, 3))

def y(n):
    return np.random.randint(100, size=(n, 3))

# SYSTEM PARAMETERS

theta = 0 # can range from [0, 2pi)

chi = 10 + 1j

lam = 0.5 # microns (values between .4-.7)

k = (2 * np.pi)/lam # 1/microns

V_0 = (0.05)**3 # microns^3

K = k * np.array([[0], [np.sin(theta)], [np.cos(theta)]])

alpha = (V_0 * 3 * chi)/(chi + 3)

A = np.matlib.identity(3)

#------------------------------------------------------------------

# TEST FUNCTIONS

w = W(x(3), y(3), k, alpha, A)
print(w)

I keep getting the error "invalid index to scalar variable." at the line u1 = u[0].

A: np.matlib makes a np.matrix, a subclass of np.ndarray.  It's supposed to give a MATLAB feel, and (nearly) always produces a 2d array.  Its use in new code is being discouraged.
In [42]: U = np.matrix(np.arange(9).reshape(3,3))
In [43]: U
Out[43]:
matrix([[0, 1, 2],
        [3, 4, 5],
        [6, 7, 8]])

Indexing with [0] picks the first row, but returns a 2d matrix.
In [44]: U[0]
Out[44]: matrix([[0, 1, 2]])
In [45]: U[0].shape
Out[45]: (1, 3)

Adding another [1] still indexes the first dimension (which is now size 1):
In [46]: U[0][1]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IndexError: index 1 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 1

Normally we index numpy arrays with a composite index:
In [47]: U[0,1]
Out[47]: 1

If we make an ndarray instead:
In [48]: U = np.arange(9).reshape(3,3)
In [49]: U
Out[49]:
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 4, 5],
       [6, 7, 8]])
In [50]: U[0]
Out[50]: array([0, 1, 2])      # 1d
In [51]: U[0][1]               # works,
Out[51]: 1
In [52]: U[0,1]                # still preferable
Out[52]: 1

Vampyr – Review
Darren Rodrigues June 14, 2018 No Comments 48772 views
Vampyr is a game where you play as Dr. Jonathan Reed who is back from war and a recently turned Vampire. After making a couple of horrible choices after becoming a Vampire, Jonathan decides to use his powers to help people and in general stop London from turning into a disease-ridden hell hole. The story has branching elements and it is really damn good. Visually, it nails it. With great atmosphere and lighting bundled with the weather system it really sets the tone and mood which is dark and gritty and somewhat scary. It does a fantastic job recreating London during WW1 and the Spanish Flu that plagues the city. Besides overall visuals the player and NPC animation in combat is good and at times excellent. It uses particle effects system really well on shadows while dodging and on the fire...
Past Cure – Review

Past Cure is one of those games which looks very interesting with all the trailers and little tidbits of info on the story. However the game turned out to be too ambitious for it's own good, which has been the fall for many games that have come before it. Past Cure is a third person shooter, stealth based psychological thriller that has been developed and published by Phantom 8 Studio for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. And yes, the game is a mish-mash of all those genres in case it sounds like it isn't, so lets get right to what the game set us up for and how it delivered. Past Cure tells the story of Ian, a former elite soldier who was held against his will and tortured and experimented upon in an attempt to tap into and learn about the hidden powers of the mind.

The Surge – A Walk In The Park DLC Review
Darren Rodrigues February 27, 2018 No Comments 51930 views
The Surge was a great game with a really good premise which was a lot of fun to play. The A Walk In The Park DLC is a new DLC that gives you a great reason to go back into the world of The Surge. While the A Walk In The Park DLC doesn't add a lot or change a lot of things from the base game, it does provide a really good addition to the main game in the form of an Amusement Park that has come to life in the worst way possible. A Walk In The Park takes places in an Amusement Park that's not far from where you originally begin the game. Originally made for Creo employees as a place to have fun in, it was aptly named Creo World, which as we all know is one of the staple names for big amusement parks. This once fun and colourful park is now filled with danger around every corner to...

Skyrim VR – Review
Skyrim is a game that like it's predecessors is known for its fantastic open-world, quests and is remembered as an overall fantastic game. Originally, Skyrim was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC with visuals that when compared to Oblivion seemed so realistic. Players put in a lot of hours playing as the Dragonborn to bring an end to all of Skyrim's voes by fighting Dragons and ending a Civil War that had caused so much bloodshed. Five years after the release of the original game, they announced that Skyrim would be releasing for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and PC with updated visuals and all the DLC and would be known as Skyrim Special Edition.

It is a strategy game with a survival aspect added to it. The game features four planets, each with increasing difficulty. The second, third and fourth planets can only be unlocked after reaching a certain number of "milestones" which are essentially achievements or goals that you must achieve on a planet. Planetbase has a learning curve that will take you a few attempts to get used to because of how quick and easy it is to die, especially on the later planets but once you do get past the initial stages of setting up a base to produce power, water and oxygen it gets easier. However once you start expanding your base further...
Wulverblade – Review
Darren Rodrigues February 5, 2018 1 Comment 43511 views
Brutal, bloody and barbaric, Wulverblade is a 2D side-scrolling beat 'em up set in 120 AD during a time when the Roman Empire was trying to conquer Britain from the South. With a very colourful yet dark artstyle, it blends the cartoon-y artstyle with a very authentic representation of the war-torn lands during that time period. Character sprites are made in 1080p to have clarity and sharpness and is good but at times can feel a bit too cartoon-y for a game that is so gritty. The whole art style is beautiful and portrays the time period and setting really well, however some might feel it looks like a well done flash game but dont let that fool you since it is quite brutal with execution moves and lot of blood and dismemberment that doesn't look gruesome with the artstyle but it ...


Every good army has to have a Leader, right? one that commands where troops go and what they're issued to fight with. My idea is that this isn't going to be a singular boss, rather 3.
There will be 3 bosses.
The Tactician will continue it's Standard commanding/spawning process until it reaches under 50% health. When it reaches this point it will start spawning in Shield Giants to protect itself. IF 6 or more Shield Giants are allowed to spawn, they will create a Shield Wall around the Tactician, at this point Defense will be raised 25% (starting from 6 Giants) and go up 5% more for each extra Shield Knight that join into the formation. At 25% health it spawns in Maul Giants to attempt to keep you away from it. The Maul Giants do not have a formation, rather they each target a different player and make their attempt to Knock them away from the Commander.
once the Tactician is dead, any remaining Giants spawned by him go free for all unless otherwise commanded by the Legion Captain.
Next I will be covering the Legion Director, it is their job to keep the Giant army well armed and well fed. This Boss offers the most support than the 3. Since it is in charge of the Armory, it has a significantly higher defense than the 3 since they're shuffling through the Armory all day and know which ones were in the best conditions. This boss offers buffs to the other Giants.
The Director is able to better arm the Giants even while they are in battle, on occasion the Director will spawn Floating Swords which will slowly drift to one of the Shadow Giants currently in play. once the sword reaches one of the Giants, the Giant will then drop their current sword for the one now given to them. each new sword given to them will have a better Damage buff (10% more damage per new sword, a Giant can receive up to 3 new swords granting a 30% damage bonus) each sword will be different than the last, so you know which sword is stronger.
The other weapons work similarly but with different buffs. The Shield grants a 5% Damage Reduction with each new shield, can work its way up to a 15% damage reduction. (Note, even with new shields when the Shield Giants enter the Shield Wall Phase, the damage reduction will stay fixed to what was mentioned prior, and will not go up due to a new shield. The new shield is only effective if the Shadow Giant isn't in formation or formation was broken due to the Tactician dying) Mauls, instead of gaining more damage, will instead gain 10% more Knockback per new Maul, and up to 30% more Knockback with the best upgrade. The Shadow Flasks grant an instant 10% health boost to any enemy who catches it. To stop this, you must attack the Director (He will be standing as your character would be if it were about to throw something) after 5 hits he will drop the flask and it will be lost. At 75% health the Director will start spawning in more of everything he has ( Note, the Director will NOT start spawning Shields/Mauls unless the Tactician has reached that Phase ) at 50% health the Director will request Shield Giants from the Tactician ( Note, the tactician is able to spawn things in when he shouldn't be able to, only if a Commander requests it. Extra Note, if the Tactician Spawns in Shield Giants for the Director, and the Tactician is not below 50% health, then the Director will NOT be able to spawn in shields for the Giants) at 25% health the Director will start panicking and their attack speed will go up drastically. Once the Director is dead, anything he spawned before he died will too die (Floating Swords, Shields, Mauls, etc) If an item he spawned reached the user before he died, they will still be in possession of it postmortem.
Finally we have the Legion Captain, has had years of experience in the field, he is the one who commands the entire operation. Since he has had experience in the field, he does the most damage of the 3 bosses. He is not comfortable with tactics or armaments, rather he fights with his men. Down to the basics, he towers over all the other Shadow Giants, and is decorated with medals/etc. Any Shadow Giant that has the honor to train with him is ready for any fight.
The Shadow Titan is a taller, bulkier version of the Shadow Giant. These Giants were trained only by the Captain himself. They have 25% more Damage and health than regular Giants, and cannot be geared by the Director. Although the Tactician does most of the planning, the Captain is able to override any commands given by the Tactician and instead make them do as he says. The Captain mainly commands his troops to attack the player who is doing the most damage. At 75% health, the captain spawns in a Shadow Flag Bearer that inspires faith into the troops nearby, giving them a small attack speed boost, this can be stopped if you kill the Bearer. at 50% health the Captain changes his order from attacking the ones doing the most damage, to attack those who have the lowest health. Even if they aren't attacking the Captain he will still send troops after them. at 25% health he will request Maul Giants from the Tactician to aid him. If the Tactician has died, and there are stray Shield Giants, the Captain will call to them and command them to do "Formation 4" which will then make a shield wall (if there are at least 4 Shield Giants) around the Captain. When the Captain dies, No more Shadow Titans will spawn, and ones currently active when the Captain is dead will then be commanded by the Tactician ( if still alive) and will be treated as Standard Giants. While the Captain is Active, the 3 bosses form a Triangle Formation. They aren't huddled together, rather, spread apart so they cannot all be damaged at the same time. This formation is only kept while the Captain is alive. once he is dead, the remaining bosses are allowed to travel freely.
what I have here is a hefty request, but hopefully it isn't too much trouble.
Seems that this hasn't gotten much attention, anything I can do to improve the bosses?


The Magic Door is a stately, three story, Victorian located on a spacious corner lot, just two blocks from downtown Northfield, Minnesota. It was built in 1899 by Henry Boe, the owner of one of Northfield's first hardware stores. The house had been both a private residence and a triplex before I purchased it in February 2001 to create the bed and breakfast.
What makes a place magical? Is it vintage charm? Cozy beds? Endless ammenites can certainly contribute to a special experience, but real magic is something internal and intangible. It's a feeling you get when you're in a good place, and everything seems perfectly in sync. People create that magic, and they leave a bit behind when they go. This is why, after so many years, The Magic Door lives up to it's name. And it is why, as the innkeeper, I'm so grateful for my guests: those who have stayed, those who return, and those who will come in the future. You are the magic.
Northfield is a friendly, historic town situatied 35 miles south of the Twin Cities on the Cannon River. It is home to St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges, two top-rated schools that draw students from all over the country. In addition to the attractions and activities available year round on each campus, Northfield also offers many recreational opportunities such as biking, canoeing, golfing, and hiking in the nearby Big Woods State Park. The downtown area contains many well-preserved historic buildings that house restaurants, shops, antique stores, and the town's museum.
After enjoying a delicious, home cooked breakfast, you can relax in your whirlpool, take a nice nap, or cozy up in your room to watch a movie. The leather couches in the parlor are the perfect place to settle down with a good book, play a game of cards or Scrabble, or simply share some conversation and a cup of tea. In the warmer months, the front porch is best spot to sit and purge all thoughts of the winter cold.
Just a short walk takes you downtown for dining, shopping, or a visit to the local museum, bakery, antique stores or coffee shops and micro-breweries. From June to October, on Saturday mornings, the downtown area features an outdoor farmer's market that includes crafts and artwork by local vendors. Stroll along the riverwalk at sunset, or sip a glass of wine on the outdoor patio of a local restaurant. The Magic Door is perfectly located; close to everything yet peacefully removed from downtown traffic in a quiet and charming residential neighborhood.
In case you don't want to miss your workout while you're in Northfield, Magic Door guests have free access the the Anytime Fitness facility, just 2 blocks from the inn, or can attend a complimentary yoga or Barre class at the Heartwork Yoga studio, just 4 blocks away.
Of the city's numerous annual events, The Defeat of Jesse James Days, a four day festival in early September, attracts the most visitors and publicity. The celebration ignites the town with a carnival atmosphere and features a daily parade and re-enactment of the famed James Gang robbery attempt of the Northfield Bank in 1876.
For a small town, Northfield offers quite a variety of dining options. In addition to American cuisine, and the numerous pizza places you'd expect to find in a college town, we also have Indian, Mexican, and Chinese venues and even a Japanese Grill that serves fresh sushi for lunch and dinner. Blocks away from St. Olaf College, you'll find the Ole Store Restaurant, which features an upscale, casual atmosphere and an innovative menu that is a favorite of residents and visiting college parents. We also have two local micro-breweries: Imminent Brewing (just blocks from inn) and The Tanzenwald Brewery. Both offer thier own unique selection of taps and live music on the weekends. Martini fans should check out Loon Liquors, Northfield's very own bar and distillery tucked away on the edge of town but popular with the locals.
The Downtown area is quaint and inviting, featuring a wide variety of unique shops, a coffee house, Cupcake cafe, antique stores, bakery, museum and even a town square. It's a great place to wander around, shopping, snacking...relaxing by the river. Live music is often available downtown at the Tavern Lounge, The Contented Cow, and The Grand Event Center, and also in nearby Dundas at Dawn's Corner Bar. The colleges frequently offer free concerts throughout the year, as well as sporting events, lectures and seminars. Theater performances are presented by the Northfield Arts Guild and other independent theater groups.

BEAVER, Okla.— The Turpin Cardinals played lights out defense throughout the game against county rival Beaver coupled with enough offense to eliminate the Dusters and advance to the District 4 Championship with a 45-31 win.
After holding Beaver to just nine first half points and just one point in the second quarter, Turpin put the game on ice with their start to the second half. Turpin kicked off the second half with a 14-0 run capped by Cesar Anchondo's second three of the game with 3:10 left to play, putting Turpin up 32-9. When Beaver's Clay Pugh scored to end the run, over 14 minutes of game time had passed since their last field goal.
Beaver did find some stroke when Adrian Gonzales hit a pair of threes in the final two minutes of the quarter, but Turpin's Jesus Espino answered back to end the quarter with a rare four-point play to put Turpin back up by 21 (38-17) heading to the fourth.
Beaver did have their best offensive quarter, but it was too little too late as Turpin went on to win by 14.
In the first half, Beaver tried to slow the game and even tried to go into a stall. It worked well enough that the game was tied at 8 until Carson Buller's buzzer-beating three to end the first put Turpin up 11-8. Turpin outscored Beaver 7-1 in the second quarter to extend their lead to nine at the half.
Turpin finished the game 10-23 from 2-point range, 4-9 from 3-point range, and 10-18 from the line. Beaver was 2-11 from 2-point, 3-15 from 3-point and 4-8 from the line.
Turpin was led in scoring by Trent Weber and Jesus Espino, each finishing with 11. Isaiah Villalobos and Cesar Anchondo each added 9. Beaver's Adrian Gonzales finished with 13.
Turpin (16-8) faced off against Texhoma Saturday night for the district title. Both teams advanced to the Regionals in Seiling that start Thursday.


In other words, Somin was asserting (correctly) that there is agreement between the two dominant strands of constitutional conservatism–social and economic–on rolling back the New Deal and Great Society administrative state, economic property rights, and Second Amendment rights. Conspicuously absent from the field of agreement, however, were the social and cultural issues–abortion, LGBT rights, and scope of religious freedom–that animate the socially conservative wing of movement conservatism. Put differently, of all the social issues–and as Matt Lacombe's forthcoming Journal of Politics article usefully demonstrates, gun rights is very much a social identity cultivated by the NRA over decades–it is gun rights that has emerged as a cultural glue which helps stabilize the coalition and its legal policy goals.
The gun rights as glue account may also serve as a window into the long-term political development of the conservative legal movement. As I've argued before, as early as the 1980s, the Meese Department of Justice, in particular the Office of Legal Policy, had laid out much what originalist academic lawyers would later dub the "new originalism" and its concomitant legal policy goals. For example, in a 1986 memorandum, Steven Calabresi agitated against judicial restraint and encouraged the DOJ to begin setting forth the intellectual foundations for reining in the administrative state and Congress. (Thus, in a nontrivial sense, Borkian originalism was already passe among the rising cadre before Bork was even nominated to SCOTUS).
But of all the economic and social legal policy goals that remain very much salient today, Calabresi's and the OLP's numerous white papers and memoranda (that is, the archival record) reveals very little, if any, discussion of the Second Amendment and its importance to the conservative legal movement. This does not appear to be an omission limited to the Meese DOJ. As late as 1994, in one of his many law schools speeches spreading the gospel of constitutional conservatism, Scalia's take on the Second Amendment was that it only applied to the federal government, adding "I don't know what the answer is" in regard to an individual right. And Robert Bork's 1996 jeremiad Slouching Toward Gomorrah was dismissive of the notion of individual gun rights (166). (Bork's book caused a stir in evangelical churches; one can still find old sermons based on the book on the internet).
Yet, only a little more than a decade later Heller was instantiated as the law of the land and the "commonsense" interpretation of the Second Amendment for those on the Right. This presents an interesting puzzle: why, seemingly, did the legal policy goal of constitutional protection for gun rights develop on a different track than so many other issues? Why were the first generation of originalists seemingly oblivious to or uninterested in the inclusion of this issue under the theory's umbrella? (Calabresi's memorandum gives lie to the simplistic explanation that judicial restraint alone has sufficient explanatory power). While academic lawyers and legal activists have produced pop histories of the Second Amendment, we lack a theoretically informed developmental account with the requisite archival and primary source work that can explain the rise of constitutional gun rights on a separate track from "mainstream" legal conservatism, and how those responsible for this move were welcomed so quickly into the conservative legal movement fold. This is some low-hanging and ripe fruit ready for scholarly exploration.


Would you be more likely to become a fan of something that your friends and family are fans of? Of course! Facebook knows this and they're leveraging it. Today, a new feature is available to marketers that will allow targeted ads to display who in your network is a fan of the brand.
If you have a fan page and have struggled with growing your fan numbers, this might be the fix you've been waiting for. You already know that you could only target those who opted to become a fan of your brand, but now you can connect to others outside of your fan base through your fan networks. Let's say that I am fan of Pepsi. If Pepsi wants to run an ad that connects with the Pepsi Fan Page, they could easily target me as an existing fan, but now, they'll be able to reach out to my entire network of friends who will also see that I am a fan of Pepsi. The idea is the expand marketers reach, but also to allow brands to associate with individuals in hopes of bringing in new fans. Facebook has always been careful to keep networking at the center of its operation, and this type of approach will ensure that brands aren't able to maliciously infiltrate the network. It's believed that this new tool will allow fan pages to not only create larger numbers, but will allow them to create more meaningful conversations and connections with users are most likely to become valued customers.

Gaza Terror Attempt Foiled, Second In 2 Days
Terrorist wounded whilst placing explosive on security fence, incident comes one day after clashes leave one terrorist dead.

IDF forces foiled a terror attempt from Gaza on Saturday, shooting and wounding a 22 year old terrorist who was trying to place an explosive on the border.
According to the IDF: "this morning terrorists attempted to conceal an explosive device in order to attack IDF soldiers who operate in the proximity of the security fence in the southern Gaza Strip."
Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesmen for terrorist organization Hamas's emergency services, told AFP the terrorist was shot east of the Gaza town of Khan Yunis and moderately injured.
Local Gazans claim the incident happened when the man and several others approached the security fence while they "were hunting birds."
The IDF reports that soldiers called on the group to stop and fired warning shots into the air as per army protocol. When their warnings went unheeded, they proceeded to fire "towards the lower extremities of one of the suspects, identifying a hit."
The incident came just a day after clashes on Friday, in which terrorists threw rocks at soldiers by the border near Beit Hanun and fired a mortar which, according to reports, hit the Shaar HaNegev regional council.
When the terrorists approached the security fence to cross it on Friday, ignoring soldier's orders to halt, the IDF opened fired and killed a terrorist.

Riot Games to amend mandatory arbitration policy
New employees will be able to take sexual harassment and assault claims to court
3rd May 2019 / 3:44 pm
Tom Ivan
Following threats of a walkout, Riot Games has said it will amend a controversial mandatory arbitration policy which prevents employees from taking sexual harassment and assault claims to court.
However, the League of Legends firm said the policy change won't come into effect until several existing gender discrimination complaints are resolved — and so far it has only committed to offering the revised policy to new employees, as it says current staff waived the right to sue when they were hired.
As reported by Kotaku, which published a detailed investigation into Riot's allegedly toxic workplace culture last year, leading to a public apology from the company and a commitment to change its cultural DNA, the firm is facing gender discrimination lawsuits from five current and former employees.
Last week, Riot filed motions to prevent two of those women from taking their cases to court, its attorney arguing they'd signed clauses barring them from doing so.
Over the past 18 months, leading technology companies including Microsoft, Facebook and Google have dropped the controversial practice of forcing employees to settle sexual harassment claims in private arbitration, a practice which critics argue stacks the odds in the employer's favour.
Riot announced its revised stance on arbitration agreements in a website update on Thursday.
"Over the last eight months, we've been internally focused on listening, learning, and acting as we work to transform our culture and create a more diverse and inclusive Riot… You can read more about some of that work here, here, and here.
"In the spirit of transparency," it continued, "we also want to address the ongoing public conversations around Riot's arbitration agreements. Over the last week we discussed this topic with Rioters across the organisation, including tonight at our bi-weekly all-company town hall. We've made a call that we will pivot our approach.
"As soon as current litigation is resolved, we will give all new Rioters the choice to opt-out of mandatory arbitration for individual sexual harassment and sexual assault claims. At that time, we will also commit to have a firm answer around expanding the scope and extending this opt-out to all Rioters.
"We know that this resolution will not satisfy all Rioters," it added. "We understand and respect Rioters who choose to protest this decision on Monday, and admire their conviction and willingness to stand up for their beliefs."
