Q: Is there an tutorial that shows how attribute validation works in Core Data? I'd like to play around with attribute value validation, but the documentation is pretty empty on this. Maybe there's an good article or tutorial out there?

A: Here is a fairly common validation to ensure you don't get nonsensical dates put into a timeStamp.
- (BOOL)validateTimeStamp:(id *)valueRef error:(NSError **)outError
{
    NSDate *testDate=(NSDate *) valueRef;
    if ([testDate compare:self.minimumTimeStamp]==NSOrderedAscending) {
        // generate and return error so you can set a proper date
    }
    return YES;
}


Alzheimer's disease researchers are accustomed to thinking of amyloid-β being cleared from the brain through the blood vessel walls and into the circulation, where it is taken up by the liver and kidneys (see Ghiso et al., 2004). But there is also evidence that Aβ can go the other way—from the blood to the brain (see Deane et al., 2003). Can Aβ from the blood seed amyloid deposition in the brain? That's the conclusion of a paper in the October 21 Sciencexpress. Researchers led by Mathias Jucker, University of Tubingen, Germany, injected Aβ-rich brain tissue into the peritoneum of young mice. Six to seven months later, the mice were laden with cerebral amyloid angiopathy and brain amyloidosis. "The results look pretty striking, and how exactly this happens is a really interesting question," said Bruce Lamb, Cleveland Clinic, Ohio. Lamb was not involved in the study. "It suggests there could be some sort of feed-forward mechanism, where any Aβ that is initially deposited in the brain and gets out into the periphery can come back and exacerbate the pathology that is already there," Lamb told ARF. He thinks this study will stimulate intense debate.
Jucker and colleagues reported last year that Aβ injected into mouse brain seeds the growth of new amyloid deposits far beyond the injection site (see ARF related news story). But the latest report takes things a step further. Showing that peripherally implanted Aβ can do the same thing came as a surprise even to Jucker. "Nobody would have believed misfolded/aggregated Aβ could go from the periphery to the brain," Jucker told ARF. In fact, the researchers first found evidence for this two years ago, but waited to publish until, with the help of Matthias Staufenbiel at Novartis in Basel, Switzerland, they reproduced the results in a different laboratory in a different country.
First author Yvonne Eisele and colleagues took brain extract from old transgenic mice (APP23) that have rampant plaque pathology and injected it intraperitoneally into two-month-old APP23 animals. Six animals got two injections, containing 1 to 2 micrograms of Aβ, one week apart. After seven months, all six animals had florid cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and parenchymal deposits of Aβ (see figure below). The amyloidosis was greatest in the anterior and entorhinal cortices, and also the hippocampus, regions of the brain that first deposit amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease. The same induction of amyloidosis occurred in five out of five animals tested in the second cohort. In comparison, control APP23 animals have almost no Aβ pathology by nine months.
What does this finding mean for Alzheimer's disease? In its press release, Science labeled Aβ as infectious, but Jucker downplayed this idea. Instead, he believes that the research raises fundamental mechanistic questions about how Aβ gets into the brain and is carried in the circulation. He believes the rampant CAA occurs because it is in the blood vessels where the seeded Aβ and brain Aβ come in contact.
But how does Aβ get from the injection site to the blood? Jucker speculates that it must be carried there by cells. But the details of that mechanism need to be worked out. "I hope that many researchers might start working on this to identify the mechanism," said Jucker.
Could naturally occurring peripheral Aβ act as the seed for brain amyloidosis? Compared to the brain, little Aβ is made elsewhere in the body, said Jucker. David Holtzman, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, agreed. "The amount of Aβ in the periphery is miniscule compared to the brain," he told ARF. Even transgenic mice that Lamb developed, which overexpress human APP in many tissues outside the brain, produce scant peripheral Aβ. This is partly because β-secretase, which catalyzes one of two steps in Aβ production, is predominantly found in neurons. However, in a common disease called inclusion body myositis (IBM), Aβ is found in protein aggregates that accumulate in muscle. Could people with IBM be at greater risk for CAA? That is an interesting association that probably should now be rethought, suggested Lamb. He added that it is not clear how much Aβ from IBM inclusions might be released into the blood. Holtzman told ARF that very little Aβ accumulates in the muscle in IBM. Jucker also said he is not convinced that there is a lot of Aβ in IBM inclusions to begin with, or that it is truly an aggregated, congophilic form, but he is already planning on injecting the material intraperitoneally into mice to see if it elicits brain amyloid.—Tom Fagan.
McGowan et al. showed in 2005 that Aβ1-42 is essential for amyloid deposition in the parenchyma and also in vessels. The Aβ42 mice, but not the Aβ40 Tg, developed CAA and compact amyloid plaques. Mice crossed with Aβ42 and mutant APP (Tg2576) mice also developed a massive increase in amyloid deposition, suggesting that Aβ42 is essential for amyloid deposition in the parenchyma and also in vessels.
Paper: Peripherally applied Abeta-containing inoculates induce cerebral beta-amyloidosis.
This is extremely interesting and suggests that adoption of an early prophylactic treatment for reduction of Aβ in the blood/tissues by singular or composite (safe) mechanisms over the long term may reduce the likelihood of brain amyloidosis in the aging population. In this respect, the combinatorial complexity of enzymes and bioactive compounds or dietary factors over long periods could play a very important role.
My own interest and casual research focuses on low levels of copper and/or high levels of zinc in the classic Western diet, which, coupled with low intake of spices as bioactive compounds, may be long-term contributory factors to dementia. Greater statistical dietary data would be helpful to assess this area more fully.
I am rather concerned that many homeopaths, who routinely seem to detect "high" levels of copper in hair samples (and without blood analysis), provide treatments with zinc (which is a copper antagonist) when it is not clear to many such practitioners that there are a large number of enzymes that compete for copper reserves in the human body. Hair sample data by itself are not likely to be indicative of the overall enzyme distribution because copper-based enzymes that are in sufficient numbers only when copper intake is high could influence Aβ levels in the blood and body tissues over the long term.
Prion-like behavior of amyloid-β or corticosterone-induced cerebral β-amyloidosis?
Eisele and colleagues (1) reported increased cerebral amyloidosis in amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic (tg) mice after intraperitoneal inoculation with β-amyloid-rich brain extract from aged APP23 tg mice. In contrast, intraperitoneal inoculation with phosphate-buffered saline or brain extract from age-matched, non-tg wild-type mice had no effect on cerebral amyloidosis.
The induction of brain plaques only through peripheral injection of Aβ-containing brain extracts led the authors to consider that a prion-like mechanism might have contributed to these brain lesions.
However, neither these authors nor the accompanying Perspective (2) considered a more obvious and parsimonious explanation for this observation.
Activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leading to increased circulating plasma corticosterone, which crosses the blood-brain barrier, can emerge in response to immune challenges (3). Elevations in corticosterone levels have also have been consistently associated with increased brain amyloid-β levels and amyloid plaque deposition (4-6).
Thus, without a consideration of potential differential effects of the three immune challenges on HPA axis activation, arguments ascribing these brain lesions and the pathogenesis of AD to prion-like behavior of amyloid-β are premature and not persuasive.

Is this effect related to antibodies to β amyloid generated by inoculation? Such effects may be relevant to the proposed use of β amyloid antibodies in Alzheimer's disease, and to their toxicity (Ferrer et al., 2004). Immunization with tau in mice also produces neurofibrillary tangles, axonal damage, and gliosis, illustrating the dangers of generating antibodies to self (Rosenmann et al., 2006).

Eisele et al. reported that intravenous, intraocular, intranasal, and oral inoculations yielded no detectable induction of cerebral β amyloidosis in APP23 transgenic mice after four and eight months (1). Only intraperitoneal injections appear to induce this effect on the brain. This is baffling to me. If the spread of amyloidosis is through blood transmission, why did intravenous injections from the previous paper not show the same result? Why did only intraperitoneal inoculations have this effect? Amyloid spread through the peritoneal cavity seems highly unlikely under natural circumstances.
The peritoneal cavity in humans is anatomically closed in males. In females, only the Fallopian tubes are exposed to the peritoneal cavity. It seems highly unlikely that Alzheimer's disease progression is exacerbated or caused through this fashion.
I also find it highly perturbing to find multiple online reports suggesting that amyloidosis can be transmitted through a prion-like fashion, or that it can be spread intramuscularly or intravenously. This is directly contradicted by the data in the previous paper by Eisele et al.

We thank Drs. Carter, Pomara, and Lake for their thoughtful comments on our work.
Christopher Carter asks whether our observations may be related to antibodies to β amyloid generated by the inoculation. We have considered the possibility that exposure to exogenous Aβ could generate anti-β amyloid antibodies in the seeded mice. As noted in this study (Eisele et al., 2010) and in a previous study (Meyer-Luehmann et al., 2006), we did not find detectable Aβ-antibody titers in response to the inoculation.
First, no β amyloid induction occurred after the intraperitoneal application of wild-type brain extract or by brain extracts from young, pre-depositing APP-transgenic mice (unpublished observations). If the corticosteroid idea is true, one would have to assume that the misfolded Aβ (or a substance that is associated with misfolded Aβ) in the brain extract specifically activates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. While this is theoretically possible, the absence of obvious differences in inflammation between groups (see below) suggests that it is an unlikely explanation of our observations.
Second, we found no evidence of chronic inflammation and no difference between wild-type brain extract and β amyloid-containing transgenic brain extract in inducing systemic or even CNS-specific acute inflammation.
Third, corticosteroids have been described to affect APP levels and Aβ generation in brain, and not specifically in the vasculature (e.g., Green et al., 2006). With this in mind, it would be difficult to explain the predominant induction of β amyloid in the vasculature first, followed by spreading into the parenchyma.
Fourth, it is unclear how a corticosteroid mechanism could explain why it takes six to seven months (in the absence of inflammation) for the induction of β amyloid, and why, in our most recent studies (unpublished), this incubation time appears to be mouse strain dependent.
Fifth, we have shown that intracerebral injections of β amyloid-containing brain extracts initiate Aβ deposition through a "prion-like" templated conversion. This is most convincingly demonstrated by the observation that the induced amyloid phenotype is dependent on the Aβ-type in the extract (Meyer-Luehmann et al., 2006). For these reasons, we feel that a prion-like mechanism is the most likely explanation for our observations.
Gabriel Lake asks why intravenous injections in our previous paper (Eisele et al., 2009) did not induce β amyloid induction in the brain. A simple explanation may be that, in the previous study, the examined post-inoculation time was not long enough, or the amount of extract used was not high enough (for the intravenous inoculation we used 5 percent of the amount used for the intraperitoneal inoculation). In the transmission of prion disease, different routes of exposure have widely different efficacies. Additional experiments are needed to address this issue with regard to the induction of cerebral Aβ deposition.

With a focus on educating legislators, gathering statistics and influencing policy, the motoring community have been advocating for sensible legislation and enforcement.
The AMEP was formed in May 2013 to contest Federal elections following the unprecedented assault by authorities on modified vehicles and their owners. After approaches to elected politicians about unfair motoring legislation went unanswered, the AMEP registered as a political party with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and contested the 2014 Federal Election – standing two candidates in each of five mainland states, Queensland, NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
AMEP Victorian candidate Ricky Muir successfully won a Senate seat, but unfortunately was removed from office just two years later following a double-dissolution election. It should be noted that, before calling the Double-D, the ruling Liberal government changed the preferential voting system in order to make it almost impossible for a small political party or independent to gain office.
Following the change in preferential voting, the AMEP deregistered with the AEC in early 2017.
Former AMEP members maintain representation for motoring enthusiasts on several government committees in relation to motoring issues as they pertain to those with older and modified vehicles.
An initiative of the AMEP, the Motoring Advisory Council (MAC) was established to operate in conjunction with former AMEP Senator Ricky Muir's office to formulate motoring policy.

I acquired my first Irish (Ch. Kulana Felisha – Erin) some twenty five years ago and she gifted me with lifetime treasures. The list is endless but this would have to be one moment that has been one that I cherish and think of just about every day.
I started visiting at the Priory Hospital in Langford and this one day just wasn't into going but felt we should so off we went. We had done all the hallways except one with little response from anyone but as we turned down the last hallway a wave from the far end made us excited so we carried on down to say hello. Half way down the hallway I heard footsteps and a lady in her fifties called out and we stopped to chat. Her mom had been in and out of a coma for four days and she probably wouldn't even know we were there but they had had Irish for years on their farm and I took Erin in to see her. I was thrilled at this request and had Erin stand at the bedside.

Breaking News: Ted Turner Brings International Pro Wrestling to CBS Saturday Nights
April 1st, 2010 admin Leave a comment Go to comments
Los Angeles—April 1, 2011: Media mogul and philanthropist Ted Turner announced today that he has reached an agreement with Sean J. McManus, president of CBS Sports, to bring International Pro Wrestling® (IPW®) to the network's late-night Saturday lineup.
"I have a long-standing affinity for wrestling, dating back to the '70s, when Georgia Championship Wrestling was the top-rated program on my fledging SuperStation WTBS," Mr. Turner said. "In the mid-'90s, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) was the number-one promotion in the world, and TNT's WCW Monday Nitro was one of the highest-rated TV shows on cable. I'm excited to bring the stars of the IPW to CBS Saturday nights. I'm confident wrestling fans will appreciate an alternative in professional wrestling programming."
Beginning April 30, IPW Choke®, an hour-long broadcast, will air Saturdays at 11:30 p.m., as CBS aggressively targets the highly desirable 18–34 male demographic, according to Mr.McManus.
"Produced at our Los Angeles studios, IPW Choke® will feature state-of-the-art production values never before seen on a wrestling show," Mr. McManus says. "Upon building a late-night audience, CBS and International Pro Wrestling will venture into pay-per-view events, and eventually, prime-time programming featuring the stars of the IPW in situation comedies and made-for-TV movies."
The IPW Stratosphere® includes such superstars as "Jumping" Jeff Farmer™, Motley Cruz™, Bulldozer™, Tony the Spider™, Richie Rouge™ and "Dynamite" Keith Watkins.™
UPDATE: Wow. Just wow. The wrestling war just got a lot more interesting.
Clips from the Choke pilot have leaked online. Looks to be incredible…unlike any wrestling show I've ever seen. Check it out.
If you think Motley Cruz is going to stand for that…you've got another thing coming.
Make no mistake: "Jumping" Jeff is no crybaby.
Beware Tony the Spider…guy reminds me of a young Jake Roberts.
"Dynamite" Keith Watkins is bringing the heat.
Eat your heart out, Austin Idol…the Gorgeous J.R. debuts.
Richie Rouge is nobody's fool.

RANtoCore | VIAVI Solutions Inc.
Fulfilling the potential of the evolving 4G and introduction of 5G will require an innovative and dynamic approach to network architecture in order to support all the proposed uses cases.
The industry is preparing to converge the Radio Access Networks (RAN) and the Core networks to bring processing functions and resources closer to the user, in order to reduce latency and traffic load, and increase bandwidth on the network.
Rigorous testing through the development phase of this new environment is vital to the success of commercial deployments. Our TM500 and TeraVM offers a complete end-to-end test solution from RANtoCore™, simulating real-world traffic and ensuring networks are robust enough to cope with the complexity and demands of devices and traffic at scale.
Only through the use of a complete end-to-end RANtoCore™ testing and validation solutions will you be able to gain a complete overview of the network and how it will perform under the demands of real-world traffic scenarios.
Ensuring the network is able to support the latency and reliability requirements for the connected car vision to become reality.
Using a conventional network architecture with a distributed and remote core network could add significant delays as well as large volumes of traffic through the network.
"Guaranteed service" – information such as braking to avoid a hazard is safety critical. The system can't accept the equivalent of a dropped call.
Communications need to be secure. No risk of being hacked and e.g. accelerating when needing to brake.
Users in the vehicles will also be consuming other services e.g. video, voice calls. Edge-based context sensitive information may also be provided to the user. It is critical that such services do not impede the high priority/safety critical information that is essentially carried over the same RF link.
Scale on all levels: Number of User, Amount of Data, etc.
Mobile traffic from the RAN to the core requires a secure connection to prevent cyber attacks on both the RAN and Core network.
Delivering 4K video to consumers with confidence.
Does the MEC video optimization really work under real world conditions and scale?
Test engine generates variable UE traffic load with mix of real world voice, video, data apps.
Those changes should cause the MEC optimized video application to respond accordingly..


With the status of today's tumultuous financial climate, it has become commonplace to find that business owners across Canada are hesitant to become involved in any type of "increased debt". This interestingly has been communicated to Synergy Merchant Services on a number of occasions as an integral reason why some merchants are skeptical about merchant cash advance programs.
Ironically, the objective of a merchant cash advance is to not only to avoid debt but to increase a company's profits. It is important, therefore, to dispel the myths about merchant cash advances. While there are numerous misconceptions about such a program, today we will focus on a couple of the more prevalent ones.
Myth #1: The program must be a scam, no money can be interest free.
As our merchant funding specialists always discuss in detail with all of our clients, there is, of course, a cost to attaining a merchant cash advance. The benefit, however, to knowing this set fee upfront is the peace of mind in knowing that your balance will NEVER get higher due to an accruing interest rate. Unlike loans provided by traditional banks, your cash advance does not accumulate interest regardless of how long your payback period is.
Myth #2: The cost of the cash advance is unaffordable.
Synergy Merchant Services tailor makes each cash advance to each specific business to ensure that payments are always manageable. Firstly, we make a purchase of a merchant's future credit and debit transaction receivables at a discount. This is how a merchant attains the cash advance upfront. The payback includes the cost of the advance which is paid back at a rate determined by his or her ongoing credit and debit card receivables.
In the past, we have actually been asked if the upfront cost of the advance is due right away! And, of course, the answer is "absolutely not". The main objective of a cash advance is to ensure that the client has the extra capital required to help his or her business succeed. Merchants have used such advances for renovations and upgrading, advertising or even paying off bills.
Naturally then, there would be no reason to automatically provide a business owner with another bill upon receiving the cash advance. The nature of our program is such that it allows for flexibility with payments. No payment is ever greater than what a business owner can afford as it made up of a specific percentage of the credit and debit transactions the business makes on a monthly basis.
No accruing interest rate. No set payback schedule. No worries.
The Synergy Merchant Services Blog will continue to explore more of the various myths and misconceptions about merchant cash advances in the coming weeks.

Retina Displays are the ability for web designs to have liquid crystal displays with a very high pixel density so users can't see the difference between individual pixels, and the picture looks very clear and lacks any blurry characteristics. They are marketed by Apple and are used for a variety of applications, including IPhones, IPads, and MacPros. Here is some terminology in regards to retina displays, and tips on how to design for them.
1. Device Pixel: The smallest physical unit that is displayed.
2. Pixel Density: The number of pixels that are displayed in one given amount of space.
3. Resolution: The number of pixels displayed across an entire width or height of a device.
1. Make sure pixels are smaller. The smaller the pixels are and the closer they are together, the better. This makes the overall display a better shape, which will contribute to an overall higher quality image.
2. Use double pixels. Retina displays only work if there are double the amount of pixels that are in a standard display.
3. Use HTML and CSS code. GIF, PNG, and JPG images require code so images are displayed at half the size of what it is, which will allow its visibility to be better.
4. Vector images make the process easier. Vector images can be scaled in every which direction because they are based on lines, images, shapes and curves, and are easier for retina displays than GIF, PNG and JPG images.
5. Use a WordPress Plugin. If you are using WordPress, things just got a lot easier for you. Use WP Retina 2x, which makes web designs, look clear on retina displays such as the IPAD and MacPro. The good thing about this widget is that retina displays will be generated automatically and the designer or user can control everything else directly from the dashboard.
Designers may find challenges when designing for retina displays, but there are several tips for making it easier. The results will be happy users who will be pleased with clearer and sharper images portrayed in your web design.

Director of Photography: Sam Care

Artist: Sub Focus & Wilkinson
Track: Air I Breathe
Commissioner: John Moule
with Promonews by David Knight
A man finds himself in an upside-down world, in Alexander Brown's mesmerizing video for Sub Focus and Wilkinson.
Employing spectacular drone footage of Canary Wharf in London and a clever use of Steadicam, Brown toys with the viewer's experctations and sense of visual perspective, in a slow-motion rollercoaster where Down is usually Up, and vice versa – and is occasionally vertigo-inducing.
Brown's approach – which originated as a lockdown video idea and evolved as film limitations eased – is well suited to this dreamy dance track, with its lyrical references to gravity. Our hero – dancer Mikey Boats – appears to be unbound by such things.
ALEXANDER BROWN:
"Air I Breathe evolved quite a bit from an initial embryonic pitch to the final project. It was an idea written in the midst of lockdown as an answer to the question – what can you shoot with limited production? I'd just had a music video fall through due to Covid restrictions pummeling the budget, so it was front and centre in my mind.
"I was lying in the garden and looking up at the sky, imagining that I was in fact stuck to the ceiling looking down instead of up. I wanted to make that idea work as a lockdown video. I pitched an idea using stock aerial footage flipped upside down, it was an idea I knew had legs – with the world feeling upside down at the moment, I liked it as a theme – people falling off the edge of the planet, as if gravity simply stopped working. The band loved it too.
Going from a found-footage lockdown video, into something using Steadicam, dance, locations… was a fantastic journey.
"It was a premise which worked perfectly with the lyrics, and initially, I wanted to just use stock footage, and shoot people falling. We budgeted for a small green screen shoot, and licensing a bunch of stock. We tested this approach using placeholder – but it felt like there was something missing.
"The problem was, while it worked great with some shots, the effect was very easy for the footage to simply look flipped. Some shots worked incredibly well, whereas others – it just looked like a lazy trick and simply using aerial shots felt like we were missing an important emotional element. It's great to have limitations, but then as we pushed forward, something unexpected happened.
"During pre-pro, everything got very busy. The industry was firing up again. It felt like the clouds parted briefly and production was able to do more. We suddenly had lots of options for how to approach this – at one point we toyed with the idea of shooting in a helicopter for a couple of hours. But in the end, we chanced upon an incredible location to shoot in Canary Wharf, a location that without lockdown, I imagine would have been all but impossible financially.
"It meant the project evolved into something completely different. We could film in an incredible location, with a performer, and really just treat it like a conventional shoot — something that in 2020 felt like a luxury. Conceptually it made way more sense to have the video feel more like an experience of a single character, and meant we could have more of an emotional attachment to his journey, but being in such a wonderful location, with a bit of good weather – it really started to gather a life of its own.
"In the end, it really was a hugely collaborative project working with Theo and Sam. The video evolved into something which built on everyone's efforts. Going from a found footage/post video, into something using Steadicam, dance, locations and all of the bells and whistles was a fantastic journey. So a big thanks to Theo and the label for bearing with me as the whole approach twisted and changed during the process."

A Little Dirty, A little Weird..
Missing Goat organic jam is now down town Vancouver at the Dirty Apron.
This store makes me ache to live in one of the brick lofts above them, have my gourmet lunch delivered daily, and take a cooking class in the evening with friends and great wine.
..but I don't add butter or salt. I dip in in French's mustard.
Let me tell you, zero calories and a whole lotta flavour!
Try this! You can eat a giant bowl and not be upset with yourself.
Yes, I eat chia pet pudding.
I love chia pet pudding.
I blame Gramma Janis for this.
She sent me a recipe and that started my now daily must have bowl of ...well, seed pudding.
I had a huge bag of it that got on one of those random runs to Costco with my sister to see what all the Costco fuss is about. This is all I came home with.
Chia is so good for you - Google it and see.
It's totally weird to eat - like tapioca..but stranger.
...when you add maple syrup and a bit of vanilla then you have a treat that is still super good for you!
let it soak for 30 minutes - whisking every 5 minutes or so. It will thicken up.
1 tsp pure vanilla, blend and eat.
you can add fresh fruits, use any juice you like instead of milk, add cinnamon, agave or honey.
It's January..I'm still trying to be healthy.
I also made real vanilla pudding for my girl who was not well this week.
Not weird at all, but I thought I should end on a good note.

Q: What does M in AdaBoost.M1 and AdaBoost.M2 stand for? It is obvious that AdaBoost stands for Adaptive Boosting, but what does the M1 and M2 signify? I am not able to find its linguistic significance other than its description and algorithmic profile.

A: The "M" stands for "Multi-class" (Hi Ébe!  I'm a little late to the party.), in contrast to binary, i.e., two-class.
For example, Freund and Schapire have "First Multi-class Extension" as the title of Section 5.1 in their original AdaBoost paper (Happy Boosting!  K. Frank) where they present the AdaBoost.M1 algorithm.  That paper is:  Yoav Freund and Robert E. Schapire, "A Decision-Theoretic Generalization of On-Line Learning and an Application to Boosting, "Journal of Computer and System sciences, 55, 119139 (1997).

Manchester United 0-0 Chelsea: Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera squander golden opportunities during goalless Old Trafford affair
It may not be appreciated by the disillusioned masses, but there are at least two very good reasons to keep an eye on Manchester United and Chelsea this season. The goalkeepers.
David de Gea and Thibaut Courtois were quite exceptional. Faultless, one might say, and not just because they didn't have much to do. This was really quite a good game, despite those twin zeros. Manchester United were livelier than they have been for some time and Chelsea carved out some extremely good chances, although not many of them, due to the absence of a specialist goalscorer.
Even so, the reason the match stayed goalless, beyond some wasteful finishing, was De Gea and Courtois. Both made outstanding saves and, when Courtois could not, the woodwork came to Chelsea's rescue. It was a useful point for the visitors, more so than Manchester United, but it is not a result that should affect Louis van Gaal's job prospects dramatically. This is United's longest run without a win since 1990 and their sixth 0-0 draw at Old Trafford this season, and that is not a good look on any manager.

Yet Ed Woodward, the Manchester United chief executive, does not want to sack Van Gaal – not least because it would reflect poorly on him – and this game did not give him great reason to act.
Swansea and Sheffield United at home, and Newcastle away, are up next, all winnable matches, and Woodward will be hoping Van Gaal's luck changes naturally. The league table continues to make unpleasant viewing though; United are in sixth place, nine points off leaders Arsenal, and could be 11 points shy if Leicester beat Manchester City. Not that a Manchester City win would be hugely preferable – that would leave United trailing their annoying neighbours by eight points.
Of course, Chelsea would swap places in a heartbeat. They are 15 points off the Champions League spots and three points off relegation. When Chelsea's fans mocked Manchester United's Champions League exit with a chant of 'Thursday night, Channel 5' – an insult that would have hurt BT just as much, having had the rights to Europa League football since the start of the season – they were crushed instantly with a riposte of 'Going down, going down'. It rather summed up the reduced status of this fixture. When the list came out it would have been seen as a potential title decider, after all.
Delightfully, though, it was not the damp squib many expected. The scoreline may have been predictable but the football was not. It didn't look like sixth versus 16th – the position of both teams at kick-off – and United in particular were vastly improved. Not dull, not dour, not cagey – for the first hour at least they went at it hammer and tongs, on the front foot like the good old days.

SUPER STAT FROM OLD TRAFFORD
Manchester United have gone eight games without victory in all competitions – their last win was against Watford on November 21. This is their longest winless run since January 1990.
Considering the torpor that had preceded this, even in home games, it was hard to tell whether United's players had sniffed the wind and decided to ignore Van Gaal's conservative instincts, or whether a retro blast of high tempo attacking football was the manager's last attempt to keep his job. Either way, it worked. United went in at half-time goalless, but not to the familiar derision. This was their best 0-0 of the season – an ambitious 0-0, at least until late in the game when the rigours of holiday football seemed to take their toll.
United started early, the game just three minutes old when Rooney fed the ball back to Juan Mata, whose shot was smacked against the bar. It seemed to set the standard – seven minutes later, Rooney laid the ball to Morgan Schneiderlin, from an Ander Herrera cross, and the Frenchman's shot flew narrowly wide. Anthony Martial, deployed on the left, came close after 18 minutes, cutting inside and striking a shot that defeated Courtois but not the near post – and Rooney had an ambitious effort from a full 30 yards out athletically tipped over by Courtois approaching the half hour.
His best was yet to come, however. In the 56th minute, Herrera was in an excellent position to convert a Martial cross from close range. The Belgian scrambled across and somehow met the ball, saving and clearing at the same time. Late on, substitute Cameron Borthwick-Jackson found Rooney at the far post, but his shot was wild. It was a pity. He had played well until that point, linking excellently and working hard, as usual. That does not mean Manchester United would not benefit from a 25-goal striker, though. Rooney is a different player to five years ago.

Chelsea were short of a striker, too, although their problems are temporary. Diego Costa – who scored two goals in a game for the first time since January, then picked up the yellow card that triggered a suspension to ensure he, and his club, could not capitalise on it – was absent and Loic Remy stayed on the bench, meaning forward duties were shared between Eden Hazard, Oscar and Pedro.
Hazard was the most central figure and took the requisite kicking. They were queuing up for him – Chris Smalling, then Herrera, then Daley Blind. Referee Martin Atkinson could definitely have afforded more protection. Rooney was fortunate too, in the second half, when a quite dreadful challenge on Oscar only drew a yellow card. He was high, late and seemed to ignore the ball for the man. It could easily have been a straight red card.
And, earlier, a penalty to United, too. Willian, in lots of space, miscontrolled the ball and brought it to order only with what appeared the deliberate use of his left arm. Atkinson was already anticipating the clearance and was looking upfield. Where the linesman was looking, God knows.
Yet, while Chelsea rode their luck, they also produced several quite excellent chances that could have won the game with better finishing and less efficient goalkeeping.
In the fifth minute, John Terry met a corner from the right and forced a brilliant save from De Gea and, at the start of the second half he was needed again. Hazard set Pedro clear and he jinked into the penalty area only for De Gea to block his shot. Cesar Azpilicueta was first to the rebound and De Gea saved again. He didn't have a whole lot to do, but what he did was impressive. Fortunately, on the one occasion he could have been in trouble, Chelsea blew the chance. Nemanja Matic broke through alone after a sweet pass from Pedro but, a full stride ahead of the pursuing pack, he snatched at his finish and ballooned it over the bar. It's fair to say he's a better screen than a shot.

Equipped in the VW cars produced over the last few years, the App Connect infotainment system has streamlined access to entertainment and technology features for drivers, and updates for the new 2017 Volkswagen models that include Android Auto make it even easier to stay connected by providing hands-free access to select mobile apps.
For those that were unaware, Volkswagen has quietly been putting together a new mid-sized crossover set to be released sometime in 2017. Thanks to a bit of sleuthing by the German-language affiliate of Automotive News, Automobilwoche, we now know that the new VW SUV will go by the name of "Atlas."
It certainly does seem like the name of the game for Volkswagen these days is "electric." In our last post we detailed how much work Volkswagen has put into establishing a series of fast-charging electric vehicle stations up and down the country's two major coasts, but that's not the only way VW is trying to gain a stranglehold on the next generation of electric automobiles.

Q: Best way to get lat and long from gps and sending to a server to get data back using expandable list view android what is the best way to design an expandable list view, the details for the list view will come from server after the device sends the latitude and longitude to the server.
I am early learner on AsyncTask, as User Interface might freeze when getting lat,long and sending the same to the server and getting back branch details. Some example, pointers would be helpful.
Looking forward to reply.
thanks.

A: Since you've mentioned AsynTask, once you get the coordinates (in OnLocationChanged() execute the instance of AsyncTask, this means the listview will be repopulated every time there is update in your location) send the coordinates in doInBackground() method and when you are done with the getting/sending in the onPostExecute() method try to populate the expandable listview with the data from the server.

A: See this link for usage of AsyncTask:
http://geekjamboree.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/asynctask-call-web-services-in-android/
Basically, once you get the AsyncTask going all you need to do is to populate the ExpandableListAdapter with your data and call notifyDataChanged on the adapter. That should populate the list with your items. There's plenty of tutorials available on how to write a custom ExpandableListAdapter should you need one. Just use Google to find the item.

Lorenz is the 33rd Valentine Lady. She has also served on the Loveland Board of Education for the past 26 years, 17 as president. She also serves on the board of directors for the Great Oaks Institute of Technology and Career Education. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati and a former member of the Governor's Task Force Ohio.
The photo album below is from Saturday, January 5 when the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance held a ceremony at the Loveland Kroger officially announcing that Lorenz was the 2019 Valentine Lady and Donna Treinen was the winner of the 2019 Valentine Card design competition.
The Valentine Lady tradition goes back to 1971 when the Loveland Chamber of Commerce created a Valentine postmark. Doris Pfiester, chamber secretary at the time, mailed 1,000 Valentines for Loveland residents that had a special Loveland, Ohio postmark that year and was referred to as the "Valentine Lady" until a formal selection process began in the 1980s. Pfiester was named the very first Valentine Lady in 1992. Today, the Valentine Lady plays an important role in the Chamber's signature Valentine program, which includes a card design competition, poetry, coloring contests, and visits to students in Pre-K through fourth-grade classrooms and nursing homes throughout the Loveland area. The Chamber re-mails thousands of cards they receive from around the world for people wanting their cards mailed from "Loveland" with the slogan, "There is nothing in the world so sweet as Love". Chamber president in 1972, Dr. Roland Boike, coined the phrase, inspired by Samual Johnson.
2015 Valentine Lady, Sue Lundy nominated Lorenz.
2015 Valentine Lady, Sue Lundy nominated Lorenz. In her nomination letter, Lundy wrote, "Kathy's public, professional and private life all demonstrate her commitment to the community of Loveland." Lundy pointed out Lorenz's commitment to education saying, "Kathy believes in education from the ground up. She is active in the Ohio Conservation League and encourages and supports excursions and educational experiences for children. She has spent time in our elementary classrooms teaching French, worked with mentor programs, and coordinated the Basic French Program at UC." Lundy is a former Loveland School teacher.
During the ceremony at Kroger, Bill Hounshell introduced former Valentine Ladies as Loveland Vice-Mayor Rob Weisgerber presented each with a bouquet of flowers.

Lecce railway station ()  serves the city and comune of Lecce, in the region of Apulia, Southern Italy.  Opened in 1866, it is the southern terminus of the Adriatic Railway (Ancona–Lecce), and is also the terminus of two regional lines, the Martina Franca–Lecce railway and the Lecce–Otranto railway.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI).  However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni.  Train services on the Adriatic Railway are operated by or on behalf of Trenitalia.  Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.

Services on the Martina Franca–Lecce railway and the Lecce–Otranto railway are operated by Ferrovie del Sud Est (FSE).

Location
Lecce railway station is situated at Piazzale Oronzo Massari, a short distance to the south west of the city centre.

History
The station was opened on 15 January 1866, upon the inauguration of the final section of the Adriatic Railway, between Brindisi and Lecce.  It remained a terminal station until 1 February 1868, when a new line was opened between Lecce and Zollino.  That line now forms part of the Lecce–Otranto railway.

From the date of its opening until the nationalisation of railways in Italy, the station was operated by the Società per le Strade Ferrate Meridionali (, SFM).  It was then taken over by the FS.

On 27 May 1907, the station was linked with Francavilla Fontana, by a railway line built to the Italian narrow gauge of .  This line later became the nucleus of the Martina Franca–Lecce railway, operated by the LSE.  Since 1933, the Lecce-Maglie-Otranto railway, which serves as an extension of the Adriatic Railway, has also been operated by the LSE.

Train services

Adriatic Railway mainline trains depart from Lecce with destinations including Bari, Rome, Milan, Bologna, Venice and Turin.

The station is also served by regional trains operated by either Trenitalia or the FSE. Destinations linked by regional trains with Lecce include Bari, Foggia, Taranto, Manduria, Gallipoli (Italy), Otranto, Maglie, Santa Maria di Leuca, Novoli, Francavilla Fontana and Martina Franca.

The station is served by the following services:

High speed services (Frecciargento) Rome - Foggia - Bari - Brindisi - Lecce
High speed services (Frecciabianca) Milan - Parma - Bologna - Ancona - Pescara - Foggia - Bari - Brindisi - Lecce

Montana Attorney General Tim Fox announced today a Clyde Park man and former State of Montana employee charged with attempting to fraudulently collect workers' compensation benefits from the Montana State Fund has pleaded guilty in a plea agreement.
Boone Block, 34, pleaded guilty in Montana District Court in Helena on June 14 to one count of false claim to public agency, a felony, related to fraudulently filing a workers' compensation claim with Montana State Fund. Block claimed he suffered a work-related injury to his right knee while working for the Montana Department of Transportation in Livingston on February 26, 2016. The State Fund accepted Block's claim and approved him for temporary total disability benefits based on a doctor's conclusion Block could not return to work due to the injury.
On March 2, 2016, Montana State Fund received a confidential tip via its fraud hotline that Block had in fact injured himself while riding his motorcycle at a track in Bozeman the day after he claimed to have been injured jumping out of a truck at work. The State Fund referred the allegation of theft to the Montana Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI). At that time, State Fund provided DCI with a case file that included State Fund's investigative report, which contained information from its March 8, 2016 investigator's interview with Block about his injury. DCI reviewed the file and conducted additional investigative work. Witnesses reported seeing Block at the motocross track and injuring his knee there. On March 10, 2016, Block called State Fund and withdrew his worker's compensation claim.
On November 16, 2016, Block appeared in Montana District Court in Helena and pleaded not guilty; a jury trial was set. On June 14, 2017, Block pleaded guilty to false claim to a public agency at a change of plea hearing, was given a three-year suspended sentence to the Montana Department of Corrections, and was ordered to pay a $3,000 fine.
"At a time when State agencies are being asked to do more with less, it's particularly troublesome that a public employee would engage in this type of fraudulent behavior," said Montana Attorney General Tim Fox. "This case is a good example of how vigilant and honest Montana citizens can alert authorities to bogus claims and help conserve work comp monies for injured workers who truly need assistance with medical expenses and lost wages." Attorney General Fox also thanked Assistant Attorney General Mary Cochenour, DCI Agent John Komora, Montana State Fund Fraud Coordinator John Forsman, and Montana State Fund Investigator Shane Shaw for their diligent efforts and teamwork on the case.

Q: How to trigger SMS URI redirect in React-Native for multiple phone numbers? So basically I have a code which is already working for android devices, its purpose is to trigger the device's messaging/sms app with a pre-filled text in it. This also opens the iMessage app on iOS with the message already pre-filled successfully, but unfortunately it doesn't support multiple phone numbers.
The following code is currently an example on what I'm trying to do. The returned value from generateURI() is later used on react native's Linking.openURL() command.
export function generateURI(arrayOfPhoneNumbers, event) {
  var url = `sms:`

  for(var i = 0; i < arrayOfPhoneNumbers.length; i++) {
    url += `${arrayOfPhoneNumbers[i]},`
  }
  url = url.slice(0, -1); //remove last comma
  url += `${getSMSDivider()}body=Test Message`

  return url
}

function getSMSDivider() {
  return Platform.OS === "ios" ? "&" : "?";
}

Things worth noting:
Many URI Scheme patterns and standards don't seem to be respected by Apple as they are listed on the following link: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5724. For instance: every sms field should use the character ?, but for iOS devices only & works, on top of that if you encode the string value passed as the body= attribute, android understands it fine, but iPhones don't. So unfortunately looking at a documented standard is not a viable solution when dealing with Apple's own rulebook.
Also Apple has a very strange statement saying The URL string must not include any message text or other information. on the following link https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/SMSLinks/SMSLinks.html
But that doesn't mean that they don't support multiple phone numbers.

A: This worked for me:
let numbers = '';
contacts.forEach((phoneNumber: string) => {
  numbers += `${phoneNumber},`;
});
numbers = numbers.slice(0, -1);

const url = (Platform.OS === 'android')
  ? `sms:${numbers}?body=${text}`
  : `sms:/open?addresses=${numbers}&body=${text}`;

Dans la mythologie grecque, Terpsichore (en grec ancien  / , de  / , « apprécier » et  / , « la danse ») est la Muse de la Danse. C'est une jeune fille, vive, enjouée, couronnée de guirlandes, et tenant une lyre au son de laquelle elle dirige en cadence tous ses pas. Certains auteurs en font la mère des sirènes. Elle a un lien avec Apollon (dieu de la musique et de la poésie) et elle serait la muse représentée dans le tableau de Gustave Moreau Hésiode et la muse.

Dans la culture
"Τερψιχόρη" / "Terpsichorè" ("Terpsichore") est le nom du livre V de l'Enquête d'Hérodote.

Paul Claudel, dans Les Cinq Grandes Odes confère une place centrale à la « trouveuse de la danse » :

« Les Neuf Muses, et au milieu Terpsychore !

Je te reconnais, Ménade ! Je te reconnais, Sibylle ! […]

Terpsichore, trouveuse de la danse ! Où serait le chœur sans la danse ? quelle autre captiverait

Les huit sœurs farouches ensemble, pour vendanger l'hymne jaillissante, inventant la figure inextricable ?

Chez qui, si d'abord te plantant dans le centre de son esprit, vierge vibrante,

Tu ne perdais sa raison grossière et basse flambant tout de l'aile de ta colère dans le sel du feu qui claque,

Consentiraient d'entrer les chastes sœurs ? »

Cannelé recipe – illustrated if you please!
So drawing is clearly fun. But so is baking. So I have set up a cake shop. It's called 'Choux la la!' and it's super pretty and magical and it doesn't make you fat at all. Only problem is, it only exists in my head for now. But you can see what cake dreams are made of on my Facebook Choux la la page and on one of my many Pinterest boards.
Below is my first illustrated cake recipe for Cannelés. I believe that baking is NOT that tricky if someone shows you. So there.
These are incredibly delicious, but you can't really find them in the UK (it's a specialty from Bordeaux where I'm not from).
Truth is, they are infinitely better home-made. So have a go. Go on. Then tell me about it.
You will need to invest in the moulds, but the silicon ones are more than perfectly adequate, and there's nothing to stop anyone using them with other cake types or even jellies! I like making mini ones rather than big ones, they are more dainty and fun. Less guilt inducing too!
And here's the recipe again for you – the batter is actually very similar to pancake mix, very liquid, but the baking in the special mould is what creates these little marvels. They taste very custardy, and not unlike other major favourite, pasteis de nata. Most important, you must must must rest the batter – there is a lot of controversy about how long, but I generally go for 12 hours – the only explanation I could find is that it helps stabilise the batter – don't let it rest and your cannele mix might decide to escape! So basically, if you want to have a go, you will have to start the day before. It doesn't matter if the batter stays in the fridge longer (to a couple of days is fine!).
The baking bit is also subject to much debate: the main goal is to have an outer shell nicely caramelised and crunchy, and the inside still soft, just beyond gooey. This might take a little adjusting depending on your oven – but my technique is to go for a pretty hot oven.
Boil your milk with the vanilla. Leave it to cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the butter and sugar, then the whole egg. Once incorporated, and the rum and mix again. Then it's the flour and salt. It will look like quite a dense paste.
After this, start pouring the milk in a regular small stream with a whisk. The batter will foam a bit but it doesn't matter.
LEAVE THE BATTER TO REST FOR 12 HOURS!
On the next day, pre-heat your oven at 210 degrees, fill your moulds to 2/3 (no need to butter silicon moulds first, and they will grow a bit!), then in the oven for 45 minutes.


Lam* was the eldest of three siblings. Her family lived in a small farm that had been passed down through generations. Life had been especially hard for Lam and her family. When she was 8 years old, her mother died from snakebites while working in the field. By 11, Lam had to drop out of school to help out on the farm. Despite the hard work, she insisted that her two brothers stay in school. "Our family's future depends on you," she said.
Misfortunes, however, never seemed to cease. A long drought, coupled with unusually cold weather, severely crippled crops and depleted the family's savings. But the most severe blow would come in the news of her father's cancer. The cancer had reached a late stage and surgery was required. Unfortunately, Lam's family did not have the means to pay for such an expensive treatment.
As Lam pondered how to come up with the money for her father's surgery and the family's daily expenses, she was approached by Madame H, who ran a local matchmaking service. She told Lam that a wealthy foreign man was looking for a wife and Lam matched his description perfectly. Madame H promised her a hefty financial compensation -- one that would be large enough to cover her father's medical expenses as well as her brothers' education.
At first, Lam flatly refused Madame H's offer. She would rather kill herself than to make such an unprincipled choice. But as the bills were piling up and her father's condition worsened, the offer was once again on her mind. Lam had been stricken by poverty all her life. She did not want to see her brothers dropping out of school and living the rest of their lives in poverty. She did not want to see her father dying the same way her mother did, because of the lack of treatment. She wanted a better future for all and so she agreed.
After a long flight to her husband's country, Lam was able to meet him for the first time. He was exactly what she envisioned. The guy was a pale-looking man in his late forties, repulsive and partly crippled. Although she did not love him, she was determined to be a good and faithful wife.
Unfortunately, there were more to the guy than just his plain appearance. Her husband was an overly insecure and paranoid human being. He prohibited her from ever leaving the house, fearing that she might leave him for another man. As a matter of fact, he would lock her in the basement every time he was to leave the house. Additionally, Lam was not allowed to contact her family and friends; her passport was taken away by the husband's family.
But the abuse didn't stop there. She was the subject of brutal beatings by her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law. In several instances, the two threatened to burn her hair unless she obeyed them.
After a year of marriage, Lam's husband became very sick. He passed away soon afterward. While everyone was attending his funeral, Lam remained locked away in the basement. She was sad and confused. What had she done to deserve this? Why wasn't she allowed to bid her husband a final farewell?
It turned out that the husband's family had special plans for her; she was set to be married off to the husband's brother. When Lam learned about this, she was enraged. No matter how much they beat her, she refused to let them have their way.
She was held captive, bruised and battered, for almost a week with very little food. But despite all that, Lam continued to persevere. If poverty could not take her down, this would definitely not. With help from a concerned neighbor, Lam was later rescued by the police. At last, she was free.
Her trip home was one accompanied with deep reflections. As her bus passed through the town's entrance, she saw Madame H's car leaving the town. Inside the car was her best friend Trang*. Watching history repeating, Lam was disheartened. Fate can sometimes be cruel.

Pavard determined to dispel doubts at Bayern Munich
Benjamin Pavard is headed to Bayern Munich at the end of the season and the defender wants to prove he is up to the challenge.
Matt Dorman

Benjamin Pavard in action for Stuttgart. - Bongarts
Bayern Munich-bound Benjamin Pavard is adamant he can prove the doubters wrong and be a success for the Bundesliga giant.
Pavard, 22, will call the Allianz Arena home from next season after Vfb Stuttgart agreed to a deal worth a reported €35 million.
Bayern was persistent in its pursuit of the versatile defender despite the difficult season he has endured since winning the World Cup with France.
READ | Pavard eager for Lucas reunion at Bayern
Stuttgart, seventh in the Bundesliga last season, finds itself in danger of relegation this term, but Pavard remains confident he can adapt to the pressures of consistently performing at the top end of the table.
"I've always believed in myself," Pavard told French broadcaster TF1. "It's not that I have a big head, it's that I have confidence in myself.
"I don't look at the comments. I play my football, I always give everything. I will prove to them that there is no reason to doubt me."
Pavard will link up with compatriot Corentin Tolisso at Bayern and another France international, Atletico Madrid left-back Lucas Hernandez, is heavily rumoured to be in line for a move to Bavaria.

Les Bleus playmaker Florian Thauvin has also been linked and Pavard would be happy to give the pair a ringing endorsement.
"They are friends, I'm very close to them, so it would make me very happy [if Lucas and Thauvin joined Bayern]," he said.
"And if the club was to ask me questions about them, I would tell them good things."
