Name Day Celebration of St. Sarkis Church of Pasadena
Over the weekend of February 15, 2014, the Feast of St. Sarkis, which is also the name day of St. Sarkis Church of Pasadena, was celebrated with a number of services, culminating on Sunday, February 16, with Episcopal Divine Liturgy celebrated by H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, and the blessing of madagh.
The name-day celebration began on Friday, February 14, with Parish Pastor Rev. Fr. Boghos Baltayan's blessing of the salt to be used for the madagh, after which the madagh preparation began.
On Saturday evening, the eve of the feast was commemorated with an evening service conducted by Fr. Boghos.
On Sunday morning Divine Liturgy began with the procession of the Prelate into the church as the choir sang the "Hrashapar" hymn. His Eminence was assisted at the altar by Rev. Fr. Boghos Baltayan and Rev. Fr. Armen Melkonian, who is visiting our Prelacy.
Prior to delivering the sermon, the Prelate congratulated and commended the church family on their name-day celebration and greeted the faithful, among them church benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Sarkis and Suzan Kitsinian and family members.
The message of the Prelate's sermon was the words of St. Sarkis, that "when you are reinforced in faith and by the Holy Spirit, no force can overcome you, because triumph is for the good and the righteous, and ultimate triumph and glory belong to God".
His Eminence spoke of the life of St. Sarkis, his staunch faith and martyrdom, and invited the faithful to become strengthened in their faith in the example of St. Sarkis and to put aside our own self interests in our service to Him. The Prelate also reminded the faithful how St. Sarkis, his son Mardiros, and their fourteen companions endured untold torture with illuminated spirits and unwavering faith.

No matter the circumstances in our lives, we must always look for the good and remain faithful servants of our Lord Jesus Christ Who came to this earth to reveal that He is "the way, the truth, and the life," stated the Prelate and concluded his sermon with the following prayer; "O Lord, during the course of our lives we are faced with all kinds of challenges and tribulations, but we will never falter in our faith because we trust in Your dominion, mercy, and righteousness, and we beseech You, through the intercession of our beloved saint, to release us from our afflictions and grant peace to our lives and to the world, especially to our brothers and sisters in Syria. May Your peace be with them, granting them patience in the struggles they endure.
The blessing of madagh and requiem service followed, in which H.E. Archbishop Souren Kataroyan, former Prelate of the Prelacy of Aleppo, participated. Requiem prayers were offered for the souls of the first parish pastor, Archpriest Fr. Sarkis Antreassian, Board of Trustees members, Delegates, and church and community servants.
The services concluded with the Cilician and Pontifical anthems in the church main entrance.
A lunch reception followed at "Andon Andonian" Hall presided over by the Prelate and with the participation of Archbishop Souren Kataroyan, priests, Executive Council Chair Mrs. Rima Boghossian, Board of Trustees members, Delegates, and church benefactors, sponsors.
After the blessing of tables by the Prelate, remarks were delivered by Board of Trustees Chairman Mr. Hagop Avedikian, Rev. Fr. Boghos Baltayan, Hrag Kitsinian, youngest child of the Kitsinian family, Mr. Sarkis Kitsinian, and Mrs. Rima Boghossian, all congratulating the community on this joyous occasion.
The Prelate again congratulated and commended the parish community, wishing them continued successes in their service. The celebration came to a close with the Prelate's benediction.

FSB seeks feedback on how existing national and regional data frameworks affect cross-border data flows
The FSB is conducting a survey as part of its work under Building Block 6 of the Roadmap for enhancing Cross-border Payments, where the FSB agreed to conduct a stocktake of existing national and regional data frameworks relevant to the functioning, regulation and supervision of cross-border payment arrangements, and to identify issues relating to cross-border use of those data by national authorities and by the private sector.
The FSB wishes to gather stakeholders' feedback in order to better understand how requirements applicable to data – e.g., where and what data must be stored/retained, where it may be transferred, the rules governing the security or access to data, could affect (either enabling or impeding) cross-border payments, by potentially affecting cost, speed, access, security of cross-border payments, or interoperability of cross-border payment networks. Stakeholder views are also requested on what any potential frictions are, as well as which policies are most effective.
Many of the frictions contributing to these challenges arise from their cross-jurisdictional nature. One of the key topics to consider is how existing national and regional data frameworks interact with and affect the functioning, regulation and supervision of cross-border payment arrangements.
Data Frameworks within scope include:
Domestic data frameworks, including rules, regulations, guidelines and supervisory guidance, that affect the provision of - or access to - cross-border payment services in one or more jurisdictions, or the manner in which those services utilize cross-border payments data in one or more jurisdictions, such as:
Frameworks regulating access to data, such as open banking frameworks
Frameworks regulating data privacy, security or storage, such as data location requirements, electronic communications, data sharing with use of third-party providers
Requirements for data retention, e.g., required data items for regulatory compliance
Multilateral, bilateral trade agreements covering use and sharing of data across borders
Implementation of international standards from the FSB and other standard-setting bodies, including BCBS, CPMI, FATF, IAIS, IOSCO, if not included as part of formal domestic data frameworks.
Other international efforts, arrangements, or agreements that jurisdictions may implement in their domestic data frameworks or that may affect cross-border data flows.
In particular, the FSB invites feedback from banks, non-banks, financial market infrastructures, academics and industry associations on the following issues:
How, in your view, do data-specific requirements or objectives of existing national and regional data frameworks, such as those listed above, currently affect (either positively or negatively):
the cost and speed of delivering payments,
access and transparency (e.g., through compliance costs or through measures enabling or reducing competition) and
other aspects that affect the delivery of, or regulatory compliance with respect to, cross-border payments?
More specifically, what barriers to cross-border use of data do you see in existing data frameworks that will impede our ability to address the four challenges faced by cross-border payments?
What areas of improvement could you suggest in data frameworks in order to overcome these barriers? Are there effective practices you would highlight to the FSB membership?
Can approaches to data frameworks in one jurisdiction impact the provision or supervision of cross-border payments services in other jurisdictions? Are there particular issues that you would like to highlight?
Are there particular payment corridors (especially related to emerging markets) that you wish to highlight to the FSB as facing specific challenges relating to data frameworks?
Responses to the survey will support FSB member authorities in the analysis of the constraints on cross-border data flows imposed by existing national and regional data frameworks.
Please submit your feedback via the online survey. The survey closes on Friday 14 January 2022 at 08:59 AM CET.
For questions please contact the FSB.

They seemed bona fide. I explained about the current 'non-amplified' status, and that anything that could happen with decks would happen in the New Year. Perhaps drop them an email, and see for a trial?
Sounds good. Check carefully about amplifying stuff.
they sound great. it is a shame.
Thanks Iain. Seems like in reality the stance is softened a bit, to low volume rather than completely non-amplified, but that might not be what they had in mind. I think it sounds great, and perfect for Saturday nights. But, I also think no question we have we have to stick to trying not to disturb neighbours, partly out of compassion, and partly because we currently don't have the licence/2 year lease. Setting up a regular Saturday night dance party might not help us out.
I got the impression it's quite lo-fi, for a hi-fi night. But they seem cool. Would love to see a trial, if it can be managed.

KRX stands with underprivileged children against Covid-19
By: Jiwon Jung, Chairman, Korea Exchange May 2020
The battle against Covid-19 has often been described as "wartime". As a nation that has risen from the devastation of the Korean War, Koreans understand that in difficult times, the most underprivileged members of society are the most vulnerable.
In late February, when the number of coronavirus cases in Korea skyrocketed from 30 to 7,513 in only 20 days around Daegu, thousands of volunteer medical personnel rushed to the city where 95% of all deaths in the nation occurred. All types of aid from hand-stitched face masks to lunch boxes and over KRW 250 billion were donated to help contain the outbreak. The Korea Exchange (KRX) donated KRW 150 million and pledged 30% of all executives' salary for four months.
The Korean capital market opened in 1956, when the economy depended heavily on foreign aid. In the next three decades, the nation achieved an average 9% annual GDP growth to become one of Asia's economic powerhouses. KRX, which served as a key financial infrastructure that enabled such transformation, grew along with the economy and joined the WFE in 1979.
As market capitalization increased, KRX employees felt the need to share the growth of the market with underprivileged groups. In 1991, 91 employees set aside part of their salary to help 12 children in need. Most of these were living by themselves looking after siblings or with a grandparent without regular income. The variety of activities to support these children and the number of KRX participants gradually increased. Such dedication later formed an important part of KRX's programme of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which was reinforced when the exchange set up a KRW 23 billion "KRX Happy Foundation" in 2011.
Today, 100 children and 100 employees share a mentor-mentee relationship, while about half of KRX staff donate part of their monthly income. The Happy Foundation matches the donation by two times. KRX also recruited full-time certified social workers to help employees maintain a friendly relationship with the children. The mentor employees write letters/cards and take part in events at amusement parks or go shopping with the children. The Foundation provides KRW 200,000 per child/month as financial aid and arranges school supplies and gifts on birthdays and graduation.
Continuing support
What started as a small group donation by employees has developed into continued support for underprivileged groups in society. In the face of Covid-19, KRX was able to provide even more active support.
In early February, when there were only 23 local cases of Covid-19, KRX took immediate steps to help protect the children most in need. KRX provided 27,000 face masks and 370 sanitizers for 1,450 underprivileged children including the 100 mentees, single-parent households and 27 community child centers and group homes sponsored by KRX. As graduation ceremonies were cancelled or postponed to March, the flower industry was struggling and so KRX purchased flowers and sent them to 240 graduating students who have received KRX scholarships.
As the pandemic reached its peak in March, KRX increased its aid to 10,000 students from 1st to 12th grade at schools near KRX's Seoul office by providing them each with hand sanitizers. KRX also supplied 15,000 face masks to 500 children of single-parent families and KRX scholarship recipients.
In April, the Korean government postponed the start of the school year and introduced temporary online classes as a precaution to prevent the spread of Covid-19. KRX provided 100 PCs to its 100 mentee students in a bid to help the underprivileged school-goers learn online.
Since 2014, KRX has been supporting environmental improvement projects for children's centers that provide after-school care programs for children from low-income families. When schools are closed, these facilities are vital for children, giving them warm meals and care when their parents are at work. (Korea has not imposed lockdown since the Covid-19 outbreak.)
On January 28, Jiwon Jung, Chairman & CEO of KRX marked the opening of the 35th KRX-sponsored childcare center in Incheon.
"I hope that our future generation can grow their dreams in a safe and more comfortable environment," he said. "KRX is strongly committed to continuing its CSR activities to help and sponsor the socially disadvantaged, while working hard to prevent further spread of the coronavirus."
The vulnerable and disadvantaged people in local communities are in critical need of attention and support, he added.
The mission of KRX's CSR is "To Share the Fruits of Capital Market Growth to Make a Better World for All". 91 KRX volunteers started a small movement to share the financial market's growth with children three decades ago.
Today, KRX's CSR ranges not only from supporting children but to scholarships for university students, remodeling projects for libraries, food/heating/medical service for elderly communities, lending help at local farms and even providing PCs, agricultural equipment and medical help in rural areas of neighbouring Asian countries.
The movement continues today by sharing with the ones who need the most, when they need it the most.


Remember the devilishly handsome Sam Claflin, who played Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games trilogy? As you might have expected, those gorgeous, dreamy green eyes have landed him a role in a romance flick and it's showing at cinemas now: Me Before You.
He's a city-worn wealthy young banker who has not only become wheelchair-bound after an accident, but also a hardened cynic. So it's up to Louis "Lou" Clark (Emilia Clarke), a quirky 26-year-old country girl, to show him that life is still worth living. It's a typical Von Trapp/Maria type of romance – the female lead is as cheery and whimsical as the male protagonist is gloomy and stern.
It's not that I want to give away the plot, but anyone who has seen the movie poster and watched the trailer can effectively guess the ending. Diehard romance junkies will probably still watch it for the "how".
But if this were not a romance film but a Singaporean production, the movie title "Me Before You" alone lends itself to so many possibilities! Here are five movie synopses featuring Singaporean scenarios we thought you're sure to identify with.
You'd have seen them on STOMP all the time – the drivers with the me-before-you mentality. They refuse to give way to emergency vehicles, usually an ambulance. They hog the overtaking lane on expressways, oblivious to flashing red lights and blaring sirens, changing lanes reluctantly maybe when the ambulance driver deploys a loudhailer and addresses the offending driver by his car plate number.
Do these drivers think that they can drive faster than the ambulance and therefore do not need to give way? Or that they really didn't know there was an ambulance behind them, because they don't check their rear view mirror at all when they drive? Maybe they can't hear, because their hearing aids are not plugged in?
Another incident which raised eyebrows involved a driver who kicked up a big fuss on Facebook when a sheltered pick-up/drop-off bay at a HDB estate was occupied by an ambulance on a rainy day. The Singapore Civil Defence Force politely responded with an explanation that the ambulance was there to convey a woman, who had suffered an acute heart attack, to hospital. If the needs of a heart-attack patient shouldn't come before yours, I don't know whose does.
It could be a neighbour, colleague or random stranger. That someone at the lift controls sees you running towards them, and, instead of waiting for you to come through the doors, they press the "close door" button urgently.
Me-before-you in this case could run both ways, though. You can say that the inconsiderate person is the one who delays an entire load of passengers, just so he or she can save a few minutes. Or you could say that the selfish ones are the people who don't want to wait for the straggler(s).
Have you sashayed through an entrance without even glancing at the person holding the heavy door for you? Shame, shame! It's not so hard to say "thank you", smile, or nod at a person who's helped you save some forearm strength, is it?
Such as snagging a spot in their (the parents', not the kids', of course) kindergarten or primary school of choice. You might have read about some mummies queuing for a preschool spot during their pregnancy, volunteering with the school, making hefty donations, becoming a grassroots leader, becoming a member of a religious organisation for the affiliation… And even changing the address of residence to get priority. Hats off to those who rent or purchase a place near the school up to a year before registration! It's just impossible to put a price on this sort of investment, so it's hard to evaluate returns.
To make a beeline for seats! No further explanation needed. Hmm, this movie might be a bit short.
Joking aside, to get to the real reason why this New York Times bestseller-based movie is thus named, go watch it!


In the shadows of the newly built Mercedes Benz Stadium, lies a working-class community filled with vibrant history. What was once a thriving community that housed the great Dr. King, Joseph E. Boone, Ralph D. Abernathy, and Andrew Young is now a blighted neighborhood in jeopardy of losing its historic identity.
In 2015, the revitalization of the Westside began in order to complement the new stadium. During this process, several communities, including Vine City, were threatened with the inflation of living cost and revocation of affordable housing. The transition of Atlanta's landscape is causing neighborhoods to form an image that no longer fits its native pieces.
By sharing this work, I emphasize the historic value of Vine City through sharing residents' stories. If displacement transpires, these photographs serve as time stamped documentations of a neighborhood that existed before being consumed by commercialization. While viewing this work, I encourage you to visualize what makes your community home. How would you be affected psychologically if your home were erased without consent?

Q: Извлечение диаграмм UML из кода Пишу курсач) Знаю что UML и написание кода - не в такой очередности выполняются. Но просто нет времени сначала делать UML, а затем приступать к кодированию, ибо это ОЧЕНЬ долго и может быть полезным при больших проектах. Поначалу так и начинал делать, а потом понял, что в процессе реализации вся логика может 10 раз поменяться и диаграммы надо будет переделывать (структура базы уже 2 раза менялась). Поэтому решил не терять время и написать сначала прогу, а затем заняться диаграммами.

Пишу в Visual Studio 2010 на С++ под MFC. Единственное, что знаю - это 2 пути извлечения диаграмм классов - "реконструировать" в Visio и получить диаграмму встроенными средствами Visual'а.

Что еще и как можно извлечь? Может программами или просто как-то пробежаться по вызовам и получить, например, диаграмму последовательностей.

П.С. Преподавателю ОЧЕНЬ важны эти диаграммы и их правильное составление. Он даже вряд ли программу будет смотреть. Но UML - точно.
A: Enterprise Architect, проверено работает. Диаграмму классов формирует на основании кода. Во вкладке Code, есть команда для выбора (импорта) файла, после чего автоматом программа сформирует диаграмму. С диаграммой можно работать. а при желании сохранить. Триал версию можно установить, а при желании найти в инете)

A: 2 лучших на мой взгляд способа:

*

*Полную йерархию классов (для С++ достаточно подробную), а так же другую полезную документацию можно получить с помощью Doxygen. Инструмент бесплатный, открытый и очень полезный в случае когда хочется иметь свежую документацию к постоянно изменяющемуся проекту.

*html страницу на которой можно динамически генерировать UML диаграммы можно получить с помощью Doxygraph. Инструмент открытый и основан на Doxygen. Пример можно посмотреть тут.

If you like your fresh juice or power proteins jar first thing in the morning, you force want to consider seeking the Breville BJE200XL vs Breville JE98XL. It is necessarily a juicer that allows you to throw in your selection of fruits and vegetables to make your juices, smoothies, and shivers. What makes this juicer changed from its competition is the features it claims to have.
This juicer is an excellent alternative for small kitchens because it takes up so little space without sacrificing a lot of the great features of the larger juicers. It's a centrifugal juicer with a durable titanium cutting disk, stabilizing knife and micro mesh filter.
Aforementioned compact juice fountain is a juicer that produces all the capabilities of a big juicer in its small structure. This heavy-duty juicer is right to secure juice on daily support. This juice fountain has an assembly idea where the knife is in the center. The dominant motor is 700 watt that goes at 14,000 RPM. Since this is compact, you can easily save it away after use or to take it with you on excursions. The juice fountain has a 1-year insufficient warranty. Overall the features are quite regular for any juicer but the compact size is what makes it unique.
This model has a compact and ergonomic design that takes up a little space as possible on your kitchen counter. This also comes in handy during storage as you don't have to look for extra-large storage space.
The extra-large 3-inch feed tube is just what you need as you don't have to use up any of your precious time cutting up the produce into smaller pieces. It comes with a 1-liter collecting jug (this is around three glasses of juice) means you don't have to keep transferring the juice to another container.
This juicer is a powerful piece of machinery that is capable of doing its job immediately as well as swiftly. The juice fountain works on a 700-watt motor. It turns at 14,000 RPM so you know you are making the optimum power. This happens in the maximum extraction of juice from the fruit pulps. But keep in thought that soft fruits will quickly turn into mush.
The knife blade is in the center of the feeding tube directly above it. This means the juicer gets maximum action as soon as it hits the ingredients. The juicer part has a micro-mesh stainless steel filter part in it. This entirely takes out the hated pulp from the juice in a clean way. The sarcastic discs are from titanium, so the machine is going to be durable in my opinion.
This juice fountain is more comfortable to clean since it has dishwasher-safe parts. Just be cautious to take out the not dishwasher safe parts, so you don't end up ruining them. There is a custom cleaning brush included with the package to do it manually. You don't need to clean the entire machine with a thorough cleanup on a regular basis anyway. Each time you get a fresh batch of juice, you can leave the cleaning process to your dishwasher. I find it super convenient since I know if I had to do the cleaning process every single day, I would not do it. Instead, I would not have my juice in my breakfast and go back to living the lousy life. This ensures that I am getting my daily dose of healthy juice.
Durability is assured with this juicer. The stainless steel parts such as the micro-mesh filter have no rust in their future. You should know they give you a one-year limited warranty for this.
The juice fountain is super small so storing it is comfortable and hassle-free. You can quickly put it up on a kitchen rack or inside a cupboard for suitable accommodation. The unit contains 9 and a half by 8 and ¾ by 16 inches. This juice fountain arrives with all the juicing capabilities of the high-end juicers, but you get them in a compact size.
This unit is pretty durable from the aspects of it. It looks like a resolute product to me. I have stayed using it for the last four months, and so far I have found no concerns. The cutting disc is manufactured of titanium so it can handle the hard fruits and vegetables without any dents. The micro-mesh filter is of stainless steel so it will keep being dandy and beautiful for years to come.
A fabulous price: At under $100, it's yet in the value price range.
Easy cleaning: It should include a simple 5 part treatment and dishwasher safe ingredients. That performs cleanup easy.
Simple work: It has one on and off switch to control. That's it. No worries about thinking out a setting or typing in complicated commands. Just turn it on and start juicing.
Compact design: We're fans of small models for two purposes. Prime, they save a season. Second, they save corporations money, which means the parts are often still high quality, just smaller.
Large feeding tube: 3 inches is pretty full for such a small juicer. That's wide instead fit a small apple whole, and it means faster juicing and less prep.
Fast juicing action: Centrifugal juicers are the quickest type of juicers, and the Breville BJE200XL has a controlled center feed tube design and double titanium blade that increase the speed at which it devours whatever gets put into it.
A comparatively small pulp catcher: While I like the BJE200XL comfortable size, the juicer's small size does limit its single-use space. Some Users point out that the outer flesh catching ring needs to be emptied behind every 16 ounces or very of juice, depending on what is being juiced. This is no big deal for the typical home user, but it does get the BJE200XL a poor decision for any commercial application demanding large volumes of continuous juice product.
Its centrifugal juicing performance: Centrifugal juicers chop up fruits and vegetables into a pulp. Then they spin the mash so fast the juice separates from the flesh. This type of juicing action is speedy, cost-effective, and easy to clean. It's high for most types of juice, but it doesn't work very well with more delicate greens, wonderfully wheatgrass.
Noisy: Juicers can be loud, and the BJE200XL is no exception. We think it's quieter than many larger juicers. We need to note that it isn't whispered as some consumers might expect.
Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juice Extractor is the lowering wattage juicer in the Juice Fountain Plus plan. However, it is still an essential juicing machine that can stand up to energetic daily use. It has a small footstep on the countertop and looks sleek and clean. The dial is so easy that you will never wonder how to use it – there are merely two speeds depending on the texture of the products you are juicing.
The extra-large chute on the machine will be one of your features. You can feed various fruits and vegetables immediately into the Breville JE98XL without even owning to chop them at all. Cutting prep season to a bare minimum is essential to be able to juice on a consistent basis. Moreover, the easy to remove parts are dishwasher safe, and the juicer comes with a stroke that performs it easy to clean the filter within uses.
Although this juicer does have one challenging to clean spot, the rest of it is straightforward. Since cleanup time can always deter daily juicing, this is a big plus. The one speed performs it super simple to use but may mean less performance with certain veggies. Still, the compact design and affordability make this one of the greatest juicers on the market, especially if you're starting out.

Q: Combining match on text field with aggregate Running the following statement:
db.users.aggregate(
   [
       { $match : { "confirmed" : {$eq: "true" } } },
       { $group : { _id : "$email", email: { $push: "$email" } } }
   ]
)

Gives me zero results, although the following one works perfectly fine giving ~12k:
db.getCollection('users').find({confirmed:"true"})

Question: how do I combined match and group properly? I am basically looking for a SELECT email FROM users GROUP BY email
Add on: SELECT email, count(*) FROM users GROUP BY email would be my long term goal, but I can't seem to get my head around mongodb :(

A: db.users.aggregate(
   [
       { $match : { "confirmed" : "true" }  },
       { $group : { _id : "$email",count:{$sum:1} } }
   ]
)

`
please check if true is boolean if boolean than no need to check it as a string it will give you 0 document.just
Confirmed:true

Mansions Of Madness: Mother's Embrace
Mansions of Madness is getting a proper videogame adaptation
By Jonathan Bolding published 17 April 18
The Lovecraftian dungeon crawling board game is a cult favorite.
Lovecraftian dungeon crawl might not sound like a typical genre to you, but board game Mansions of Madness is an entertaining and spooky romp in the shoes of a short-lived cosmic horror protagonist. A videogame adaptation called Mansions of Madness: Mother's Embrace was announced today, and this hybrid of the tabletop rules with digital twists is scheduled to release on Steam early next year. Developers Luckyhammers and publisher Asmodee Digital seem quite excited about it, calling it "the next evolution of the iconic game." The tabletop game is developed by Fantasy Flight Games, which is owned by Asmodee.
Rather than a multiplayer cooperative experience, the new Mansions of Madness seems to be a single player controlling several characters. So far, all we know about the game is that it will center on a group of 1920s investigators exploring a creepy old house which will, predictably, be filled with traps, cursed books, and Lovecraftian horrors aplenty. If the investigators can solve the mystery, lives will be saved and the world spared. The game is set in Lovecraft's fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts.
Okay, now that I've laid that out, I realize that exploring creepy houses and shooting their inhabitants is just burglary. This is just a game about doing crimes.
You can check out the Steam page here.

These are a few features that make LG G6 one of the leading devices this year but like any other device, LG G6 comes with issues and errors and bugs too. There are a number of problems in LG G6, we have listed them below along with their respective solutions.
Although most of the users have no trouble with LG G6 fingerprint sensor, there are some who are facing the problem where their scanner is not recognizing their fingerprints or it is very slow.
Start with deleting and remapping the fingerprint scanner. This trick has helped some.
Try clearing your cache and to do that go to Setting, from there to General and Phone Management, then move onto Device Storage. Next, you need to tap on the Internal Storage and finally on the cache data to clear it.
According to some users, this problem is due to Always on Display. So, turn it off and enabled it again to see if this works for you.
You may also read: How to download and install Magisk systemless interface on Android.
Many people are not content with the auto brightness feature of their LG G6. Either because it does not work properly or because the timing is wrong. So, we do have some solutions for it as well.
Since it is a software issue, we have our fingers crossed that the next update will remove this issue, but until then you should download Lux Auto Brightness app and disable the default auto brightness feature in LG G6.
Many of the LG G6 users have complained about having trouble with their Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. If among those users, please check out the below solutions.
Turn off both the device and the router for about 10-20 seconds and then turn them back on.
Check how heavy your Wi-Fi channel is if it is very heavy a wise thing to do would be to switch to a better option.
Forget Wi-Fi connections and try connecting them again.
Keep the apps and the software of your LG G6 up to date.
Can't connect to the car, look for the solution in the manufacturer's menu and connect accordingly.
Make sure, you do not miss any step of the connection process.
In case the Screen of your LG G6 stops to respond, you should press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Doing this will restart your phone and hopefully will resolve whatever problem you are facing.
To do this, first, you need to switch off your LG G6.
Next turn it back, on by pressing and hold the volume down button along with the power button. Keep pressing both of these buttons until you see LG logo on your screen, now release the power button and instantly press it again. Now you need to wait, till the factory reset menu appears on the screen.
To navigate, you should use the volume buttons and to select you would need the power button. So, to continue press the power button and to cancel, you would have to use the power keys.
Switch off your phone and reboot it again until you see the LG Logo on the screen. Now keep pressing the volume down key, till you see the home screen. Doing this will take you into the safe mode.
In case you LG G6 is on, just press and hold the power button till you see the shutdown option. Then you need to press and hold the power off option and wait till the confirmation dialogue box appears. Doing this will reboot your smartphone into the Safe Mode.
In case your display is not working or it is broken, you still can perform the basic functionalities using the hardware keys.
Switch off your LG G6.
To enable the hardware key control mode, you need to press and hold the volume keys along with the power button.
To navigate in this mode, you need the volume keys and to make the selection, you would have to use the power key.
To end an ongoing call, just press the power button during the call. Likewise, to stop an alarm you would have to press both volume keys together whistle the alarm is ringing.

Q: 16.04 nfs mount problems at boot time First of all, I have the same environment in ubuntu 14.04 and is working perfect.
I want to mount a NFS at boot time. This NFS will have /etc/apache2 and other config folders. So, my fstab (working in 14.04) look like this:
X.X.X.X:/share_NFS         /mnt/nas        nfs   auto,nolock,soft,intr,nfsvers=3,tcp,bg,rw      0       0

Then, I bind every folder that I want to mount in the NFS like this:
/mnt/nas/config/apache2         /etc/apache2            none    auto,rbind,defaults     0       0
/mnt/nas/config/php5            /etc/php5               none    auto,rbind,defaults     0       0
/mnt/nas/config/logrotate.d     /etc/logrotate.d        none    auto,rbind,defaults     0       0
/mnt/nas/config/postfix         /etc/postfix            none    auto,rbind,defaults     0       0
/mnt/nas/www                    /var/www                none    auto,rbind,defaults     0       0

The problem is when I boot the machine. Sometimes it's mounted correctly and sometimes not. If I reboot the machine, I have 25% of probability that NFS is not mounted correctly. If I make a mount -a it mounts fine.
I'm almost certain that there is a systemd problem. I found a lot of problems and some bugs with NFS and remote-fs.target dependencies in systemd. But anyone has a clear a solution. For example, I changed some dependencies of remote-fs.target just to require network-online, but it didn't work for me.
i think that is a matter of how systemd start the remote-fs.target and NFS.
I noticed that for every mountpoint of /etc/fstab, systemd generates a unit ended with .mount. So, if I look for this units:
systemctl show mnt-nas.mount

I saw this:
Names=mnt-nas.mount
Requires=system.slice -.mount
Wants=network-online.target
RequiredBy=etc-logrotate.d.mount etc-php5.mount remote-fs.target var-www.mount etc-apache2.mount etc-postfix.mount
Conflicts=umount.target
Before=etc-logrotate.d.mount umount.target etc-php5.mount remote-fs.target var-www.mount etc-apache2.mount etc-postfix.mount
After=systemd-journald.socket remote-fs-pre.target system.slice network.target -.mount network-online.target
RequiresMountsFor=/mnt

Has anyone had this problem? has anyone get this kind of behaviour mounting NFS at boot time? How you solved if you had?

A: Well, finally I've solved the problem.
In this case, I had two problems:

*By default, remote-fs.target is NOT depending on network-online.target . This is an known ¿bug? reported by the comunity. So, this si what makes that sometimes work and sometimes not (depends if ethernet has link or not when nfs is mounted).

*Second problem, in my case, I mount rbinds after mount the NFS. The source of the rbinds is a folder of the NFS mountpoint (so, it's clear that is has to be mounted later). When systemd generates the ".mount" unit files for every mountpoint of the fstab, all rbinds were depending of local-fs.target. Of course, this is a problem in this case because it could mount the rbinds (local-fs.target) before the nfs mountpoint (remote-fs.target).
So, to solve this situation what I made is:

*

*First, I edited the file /lib/systemd/system/remote-fs-pre.target and added:
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

*Then, in /etc/fstab I indicated to the NFS mountpoint the next options:
X.X.X.X:/nfs_share         /mnt/nas        nfs   _netdev,noauto,x-systemd.automount,nolock,soft,intr,nfsvers=3,tcp,bg,rw      0       0
And finally, we indicate to systemd that rbinds are network device (so, systemd will put them on remote-fs.target) and also I indicated that /mnt/nas has to be mounted strictly.
/mnt/nas/config/php            /etc/php               none    noauto,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=/mnt/nas,rbind,defaults     0       0
With this change, I fix the order of launching the mounts propertly in systemd


Lorenzo may sound distinctly Italian but that doesn't mean that parents from other cultures can't choose this name for their baby boy!

Q: Strange output when trying to find prime numbers Python Ok, so I admittedly am kind of a noob, and I've been going through a course on udemy for programming.  The problem is asking to write a function that finds all the prime numbers up to the number given.  So I started writing the following code to extract the numbers that are not even, as well as the numbers not evenly divisible by 3 just to start:
def count_primes(num):
    num_list5 = []
    for i in range(num + 1):
        print(i)
        if i % 2 != 0 or i % 3 != 0:
            num_list5.append(i)

    return num_list5

When I call the function with a number of 100 like:
count_primes(100)
In the output, I get the num_list5 showing all the numbers in the range except for 6 and multiples of 6:
 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 ...]
Its like the if statement is doing an AND operation here... because 6 would be divisible by 2 AND 3.  Is this a bug or something? Or am I not understanding and/or operations correctly?
What's weird is that it was working at one point and after making a change and reverting it, it started doing this...
I'm using VSCode and Jupyter notebooks and tried both Python 3.8.5 64-bit and 3.9.4 64-bit on Ubuntu 20.04

A: i % 2 != 0 or i % 3 != 0 is equal to  not (i % 2 == 0 and i % 3 == 0) (De Morgan's laws)
It should be i % 2 != 0 and i % 3 != 0

A: If you are looking to generate all primes less than num, you should loop over all numbers j less than i and check if i%j is zero rather than just 2 and 3.
def count_primes(num):
    num_list5 = []
    for i in range(2, num + 1): # start at 2 because 1 and zero are not primes
        print(i)
        for j in range(2, i):
            if i%j == 0:
                break
        else:
            num_list5.append(i)

    return num_list5

if __name__ == "__main__":
    n = 100
    print(count_primes(n))

Note that using Sieve of Eratosthenes method, this can be done more efficiently:
import math

def count_primes_sieve(num):
    num_list5 = [False, False] + [True]*(num - 1)
    for i in range(2, math.ceil(math.sqrt(num)) + 1):
        if num_list5[i]:
            j = i * i
            while j < len(num_list5):
                num_list5[j] = False
                j += i
    return [i for i, p in enumerate(num_list5) if p]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    n = 100
    print(count_primes_sieve(n))

A: We know some facts about prime numbers which you can use in your program.  Negative numbers, 0 and 1 are not prime.  2 is the only even prime.  A prime number only has itself and 1 as factors.  From multiplication we know that if a x b = c then one of a, b is <= sqrt(c).  That last fact helps us cut down the number of trial divisors we have to test.  We can test for a prime by looking for a number that divides the target but is not the target itself or 1.  If we find such a number then the target is not prime.
Here is some pseudocode to help:
function isPrime(num)
  // 1, 0, negatives not prime.
  if (num < 2)
    return false
  end if

  // 2 is the only even prime.
  if (num MOD 2 = 0)
    return (num = 2)
  end if

  // Try odd factors up to square root.
  limit <- 1 + sqrt(num)
  for (test <- 3; test < limit; test <- test + 2)
    if (num MOD test = 0)
      // Not prime, we have found a factor.
      return false
    end if
  end for

  // If we get this far then num is prime.
  return true

end function

A: After figuring out the propositional math and de Morgan's Law as someone pointed out, I was able to come up with a pretty simple solution using or and mod operators and only goes through a the sequence once:
def count_primes(num):

    num_list5 = []

    for i in range(2, num + 1):
        if i == 2 or i == 3 or i == 5 or i == 7:
            num_list5.append(i)
        if not (i % 2 == 0 or i % 3 == 0 or i % 5 == 0 or i % 7 == 0):
            num_list5.append(i)

    return num_list5

print(count_primes(100))

The 10 Most Romantic Songs of the '60s
by Colm Clark
When you think of songs that define the 1960s the ones that might come to mind are those empowering calls to action inspired by the civil rights or anti-war movements. But just as one of the most popular slogans of the day was "Make Love, Not War" the decade also produced some of the most romantic tunes of any era in popular music before or since. In fact, so many great ones were released between 1960 and 1969 it's hard to choose just ten. Here then are just a handful of the most romantic songs of the '60s to help kindle the flames of passion this Valentine's Day.
Theme From A Summer Place—Percy Faith & His Orchestra (1960)
Percy Faith & His Orchestra recorded the most popular version of this tune from a 1959 Sandra Dee/Troy Donahue flick that became the best selling song of 1960 and stayed at Number 1 in the US for 9 weeks—the longest run of any instrumental in history (which means the tune not only soundtracked the titular movie but also many a romantic night across the country for years to come).
My Girl—The Temptations (1965)
Just one of many Motown-produced tracks that could have made this list. In fact, you could do an all-Motown love song list that would include more than a few by Smokey Robinson, who co-wrote this song that became The Temptations' first Number 1 and their signature number ever after.
Unchained Melody—The Righteous Brothers (1965)
This Alex North-Hy Zaret ballad has received many renderings since it first appeared in the prison movie Unchained in 1955. Harry Belafonte, Les Baxter, and Perry Como all had cracks at it, but the version that longing lovers all over the world remember most is the searingly soulful one delivered by The Righteous Brothers.

When A Man Loves a Woman—Percy Sledge (1966)
The first chart topper from the legendary Muscle Shoals scene actually claimed the top spot not once but twice—first for Percy Sledge in '66 and again 15 years later for Michael Bolton. Atlantic Record's exec Jerry Wexler reportedly asked for the out-of-tune horns to be re-recorded but that redo never made it to the airwaves. No matter. It's Percy Sledge's impassioned vocal that makes this a perennial wedding favorite. Sledge himself sang it at E Street Band's Steve Van Zandt's wedding in 1982!
God Only Knows—The Beach Boys (1966)
Buoyed by Brian Wilson's masterful arrangement and production, younger brother Carl's celestial singing, and songwriting partner Tony Asher's heartfelt lyric, it's easy to see why this one appeals not only to lovers but to lovers of great music everywhere.
Related: "Bet You Can't Watch Just Once"
I Say A Little Prayer—Dionne Warwick (1967)
This Burt Bacharach-Hal David tune has received many indelible renderings, but perhaps none as iconic as the one the pair recorded with Dionne Warwick and released in 1967. Bacharach famously preferred the Jerry Wexler-produced Aretha Franklin version that came out a year later. Whether you go with Aretha's, Dionne's or Dusty Springfield's, there's no denying this classic's romantic charms.
Can't Take My Eyes Off You—Frankie Valli (1967)
Composed by the Four Seasons' writing team Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" was Frankie Valli's biggest solo hit before 1975's "My Eyes Adored You" (probably one of the Me Decade's most romantic). Christopher Walken sang along to this one in 1978's The Deer Hunter, making it just one of a few on the list with a memorable movie turn. From a songwriting point of view, Crewe and Guadio give a clinic on how to build drama and intensity. Of course, it helps when you've got someone like Valli and his golden pipes selling it for you.
Never My Love—The Association (1967)
Although "Cherish" achieved a slightly higher chart appearance the year before, The Association's "Never My Love," released in '67, is actually the one you'd want to play at your nuptials, given its more unequivocal declaration of devotion and fealty.
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Roberta Flack (1969)
Scottish folk singer Ewan McColl penned this lovely ballad for future wife Peggy Seeger (Pete's sister) to sing in 1957. It eventually found its way into other folkies' repertoires, but it was Roberta Flack's elegiac version from her 1969 debut—used in Clint Eastwood's 1971 movie Play Misty For Me—that helped the song find its widest audience and greatest acclaim (Flack won a Grammy for Record of The Year and McColl won for Song of the Year in 1972).
Something—The Beatles (1969)
Frank Sinatra called "Something" the "greatest love song of the last 50 years" and who am I to argue with the Chairman of The Board? Ol' Blue Eyes knows a good love song when he hears one and was just one of many to cover this George Harrison-penned gem. We can forgive him for mistakenly attributing the song at first to Lennon and McCartney.

How about the Association …."Cherish" ?
cmclark
Hi Tom, I did consider "Cherish" (and name checked it above) but ultimately went with The Association's "Never My Love." The latter seems more of an unequivocal declaration of undying love and devotion whereas the former–as great a song as it is (it actually reached a higher chart position than "Never My Love," too)–is about love and devotion unstated and therefore unreciprocated and never truly realized.
My decision may seem arbitrary (or misguided) but … well, there it is.

This article is about the South American country. For the 1985 film, see Brazil (film).
Brazil is the largest country in South America, as well as the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world.
We are also seeing a diffusion of power and competition at the nation-state level. This competition comes not just from Russia and China, but also from emerging countries like Brazil. ~ Stephen Hadley

Beloved land of Brazil! ~ Olavo Brás Martins dos Guimarães Bilac
Brazilians often say they live in a continent rather than a country. It's an excusable exaggeration. The landmass is bigger than the United States if you exclude Alaska; the journey from Recife in the east to the western border with Peru is longer than that from London to Moscow. ~ Rough Guides
Brazil, an intense dream. A vivid ray of love and hope descends to earth. ~ Osório Duque-Estrada
Brazil is a beautiful and prosperous country, full of people educated, hard-working and peaceful... Brazilians have to recover the patriotic feeling and be firm. ~ Talo Dejade
If I ran Brazil, I would ban the use of metal. Plastic for everyone. ~ Paul Mak
Violence in Brazil, now there's a surprise. Said no one ever. ~ Paul Puma
Nobody would want to go in for a partnership with Brazil. ~ Guy Scott

Take the affection enclosed in our youthful chest, dear symbol of the land of the beloved land of Brazil!
Olavo Brás Martins dos Guimarães Bilac, "Brazilian Flag Anthem" (9 November 1906)
Brazil is always a party. You can tan and mingle with the locals on the country's seemingly endless beaches, from Rio's glamorous Copacabana to the unspoiled treasures along the northeastern shores. In the vast interior, outdoor adventures thrill: take a spray-soaked boat ride into Iguaçu's raging waterfalls or spot exotic wildlife in the Pantanal. On rugged treks through the Amazon rain forest or on shopping expeditions in São Paulo's chic boutiques, you will plunge into a vibrant mix of colors, rhythms, and cultures.
"Brazil Travel Guide", Fodor's Travel
Brazilians often say they live in a continent rather than a country. It's an excusable exaggeration. The landmass is bigger than the United States if you exclude Alaska; the journey from Recife in the east to the western border with Peru is longer than that from London to Moscow, and the distance between the northern and southern borders is about the same as that between New York and Los Angeles. Brazil has no mountains to compare with its Andean neighbors, but in every other respect it has all the scenic – and cultural – variety you would expect from so vast a country.
"Brazil", Rough Guides
Two-thirds of Brazil's population live on or near the coast and well over half live in cities – even in the Amazon. In Rio and São Paulo, Brazil has two of the world's great metropolises, and ten other cities have over a million inhabitants. Yet Brazil still thinks of itself as a frontier country, and certainly the deeper into the interior you go, the thinner the population becomes. Other South Americans regard Brazilians as a race apart, and language has a lot to do with it – Brazilians understand Spanish, just about, but Spanish-speakers won't understand Portuguese. Brazilians also look different. In the extreme south German and eastern European immigration has left distinctive traces; São Paulo has the world's largest Japanese community outside Japan; slavery lies behind a large Afro-Brazilian population concentrated in Rio, Salvador and São Luís; while the Indian influence is still very visible in the Amazon. Italian and Portuguese immigration has been so great that its influence is felt across the entire country.
Brazil is a land of profound economic contradictions. Rapid post-war industrialization made it one of the world's ten largest economies by the 1990s and it is misleading to think of Brazil as a developing country; it is quickly becoming the world's leading agricultural exporter and has several home-grown multinationals competing successfully in world markets. The last decade has seen millions of Brazilians haul their way into the country's expanding middle class, and across-the-board improvements in social indicators like life expectancy and basic education. But yawning social divides are still a fact of life in Brazil. The cities are dotted with favelas, shantytowns that crowd around the skyscrapers, and there are wide regional differences, too: Brazilians talk of a "Switzerland" in the South, centred on the Rio–São Paulo axis, and an "India" above it, and although this is a simplification the level of economic development does fall the further north or east you go. Brazil has enormous natural resources but their exploitation has benefited fewer than it should. Institutionalized corruption, a bloated and inefficient public sector and the reluctance of the country's middle class to do anything that might jeopardize its comfortable lifestyle are a big part of the problem. Levels of violence that would be considered a public emergency in most countries are fatalistically accepted in Brazil – an average of seventeen murders per day in the city of Rio de Janeiro, for example.
"Brazil", Rough Guides.
Difficulties, however, don't overshadow everyday life in Brazil, and violence rarely affects tourists. It's fair to say that nowhere in the world do people enjoy themselves more – most famously in the annual orgiastic celebrations of Carnaval, but reflected, too, in the lively year-round nightlife that you'll find in any decent-sized town. This national hedonism also manifests itself in Brazil's highly developed beach culture, superb music and dancing, rich regional cuisines and the most relaxed and tolerant attitude to sexuality – gay and straight – that you'll find anywhere in South America.
Inflation is bad for growth—this has become one of the most widely accepted economic nostrums of our age. But see how you feel about it after digesting the following piece of information.
During the 1960s and the 1970s, Brazil's average inflation rate was 42% a year. Despite this, Brazil was one of the fastest growing economies in the world for those two decades—its per capita income grew at 4.5% a year during this period. In contrast, between 1996 and 2005, during which time Brazil embraced the neo-liberal orthodoxy, especially in relation to macroeconomic policy, its inflation rate averaged a much lower 7.1% a year. But during this period, per capita income in Brazil grew at only 1.3% a year.
If you are not entirely persuaded by the Brazilian case—understandable, given that hyperinflation went side by side with low growth in the 1980s and the early 1990s—how about this? During its 'miracle' years, when its economy was growing at 7% a year in per capita terms, Korea had inflation rates close to 20%-17.4% in the 1960s and 19.8% in the 1970s. These were rates higher than those found in several Latin American countries ... Are you still convinced that inflation is incompatible with economic success?
Ha-Joon Chang, Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism (2008), Ch. 7: 'Mission impossible?; Can financial prudence go too far?', There is inflation and there is inflation, p. 149
Following more than three centuries under Portuguese rule, Brazil gained its independence in 1822, maintaining a monarchical system of government until the abolition of slavery in 1888 and the subsequent proclamation of a republic by the military in 1889. Brazilian coffee exporters politically dominated the country until populist leader Getulio VARGAS rose to power in 1930. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil underwent more than a half century of populist and military government until 1985, when the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Having successfully weathered a period of global financial difficulty in the late 20th century, Brazil was seen as one of the world's strongest emerging markets and a contributor to global growth. The awarding of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the first ever to be held in South America, was seen as symbolic of the country's rise. However, from about 2013 to 2016, Brazil was plagued by a sagging economy, high unemployment, and high inflation, only emerging from recession in 2017. Political scandal resulted in the impeachment of President Dilma ROUSSEFF in May 2016, a conviction that was upheld by the Senate in August 2016; her vice president, Michel TEMER, will serve as president until 1 January 2019, completing her second term.

An utter humiliation for Brazil, just got worse! ... A devastated Brazil; a devastated nation.
Ian Darke, Brazil v. Germany (8 July 2014), 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil, an intense dream. A vivid ray of love and hope descends to earth.
Osório Duque-Estrada, "Brazilian National Anthem" (1909)
What is black in the United States is not what's black in Brazil.
Alan Goodman, as quoted in "Episode One: The Difference Between Us" (2003), Race: The Power of an Illusion, California Newsreel
In Brazil we have a saying, 'You're married, but you're not dead'.
Izabel Goulart, to Conan O'Brien (February 2007) on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (28 February 2007)
[T]he Brazilian mindset was forged by slavery above any other thing. Slavery existed, unchallenged, for a long time (about three or four centuries, depending on place) and laid deep roots. These roots are everywhere... So, considering all these impacting aspects, we can say, quite safely, that Brazil is still struggling to levae behing the heavy burden of slavery, that still hinders its progress towards the future.
Jose Geraldo Gouvea, "Did Brazil get over slavery?" (March 2015), Quora
It is a subject for congratulation that the great Empire of Brazil has taken the initiatory step toward the abolition of slavery. Our relations with that Empire, always cordial, will naturally be made more so by this act. It is not too much to hope that the Government of Brazil may hereafter find it for its interest, as well as intrinsically right, to advance toward entire emancipation more rapidly than the present act contemplates.
Ulysses S. Grant, State of the Union Address (4 December 1871)

We are also seeing a diffusion of power and competition at the nation state level. This competition comes not just from Russia and China, but also from emerging countries like Brazil, India, Indonesia, and the other ASEAN states. These states are also beginning to organize themselves into structures outside of and somewhat in competition.

One of the world's most captivating places, Brazil is a country of powdery white-sand beaches, verdant rainforests and wild, rhythm-filled metropolises. Brazil's attractions extend from frozen-in-time colonial towns to otherworldly landscapes of red-rock canyons, thundering waterfalls and coral-fringed tropical islands. Then there's Brazil's biodiversity: legendary in scope, its diverse ecosystems boast the greatest collection of plant and animal species found anywhere on earth. There are countless places where you can spot iconic species in Brazil, including toucans, scarlet macaws, howler monkeys, capybara, pink dolphins, sea turtles and thousands of other living species.

There's horseback riding and wildlife-watching in the Pantanal, kayaking flooded forests in the Amazon, ascending rocky cliff tops to panoramic views, whale-watching off the coast, surfing stellar breaks off palm-fringed beaches and snorkeling crystal-clear rivers or coastal reefs – all are part of the great Brazilian experience. No less entrancing is the prospect of doing nothing, aside from sinking toes into warm sands and soaking up a glorious stretch of beach, with a caipirinha – Brazil's national cocktail – in hand.
Brazil's most famous celebration, Carnaval, storms through the country's cities and towns with hip-shaking samba and frevo, dazzling costumes and parties that last until sun up, but Brazilians hardly limit their revelry to a few weeks of the year. Festas (festivals) happen throughout the year, and provide a window into Brazil's incredible diversity. The streets are carpeted with flowers during Ouro Preto's Semana Santa (Holy Week), while in the north, Bumba Meu Boi blends indigenous, African and Portuguese folklore. For a taste of the old world, hit Blumenau's beer- and schnitzel-loving Oktoberfest, the largest outside of Germany. Several cities, such as Recife, Fortaleza and Natal even host Carnaval at other times of year.
Wherever there's music, that carefree lust for life tends to appear – whether dancing with cariocas at Rio's atmospheric samba clubs or following powerful drumbeats through the streets of Salvador. There's the dancehall forró of the Northeast, twirling carimbó of the Amazon, scratch-skilled DJs of São Paulo and an endless variety of regional sounds that extends from the twangy country music of the sunbaked sertanejo to the hard-edged reggae of Maranhão.

Like many commodity dependent emerging markets, Brazil has imploded both economically and investment-wise over the past couple of years. I warned investors to bail out of the country back in September of 2012 as it was evident a huge bubble had formed. Things have become worse than I could have imagined and, given the state of things down south, it is hard to imagine things improving in 2016. The only question investors should be asking is, do the problems in Brazil and other emerging markets have the potential to cause problems here in 2016?

Violence has long been a fact of life in Brazil. Amnesty International reports that in 2004 there were 663 killings by officers in Sao Paulo state, and 983 in Rio de Janeiro State.

Here in Brazil it's common for the police to act violently, especially against poor and black people.

Slavery will remain for a long time as the chief national characteristic of Brazil. It spread throughout our vast lonely lands a huge softness [of mores]; its contact was the first to shape the virgin nature of the country, and it was the one recorded there. It [slavery] peopled it [Brazil] like a living natural religion, with its myths, legends and spells.
Joaquim Nabuco, as quoted in "Did Brazil get over slavery?" (March 2015), by Jose Geraldo Gouvea, Quora
By "Mongrel Complex" I mean the inferiority in which Brazilians put themselves, voluntarily, in comparison to the rest of the world. Brazilians are the reverse Narcissus, who spit in their own image. Here is the truth: we can't find personal or historical pretexts for self-esteem.
Nelson Rodrigues, as quoted in "O Complexo de Inferioridade do Brasileiro" (2007), by Humberto Mariotti, Instituto de Pesquisa BSP
Writing in the 1950s, the playwright Nelson Rodrigues saw his countrymen as afflicted with a sense of inferiority, and he coined a phrase that Brazilians now use to describe it: "the mongrel complex". Brazil has always aspired to be taken seriously as a world power by the heavyweights, and so it pains Brazilians that world leaders could confuse their country with Bolivia, as Ronald Reagan once did, or dismiss a nation so large – it has 180 million people – as "not a serious country", as Charles de Gaulle did.
Larry Rohter, "If Brazil Wants to Scare the World, It's Succeeding" (16 November 2007), The New York Times
Nobody would want to go in for a partnership with Brazil.
