Dark matter could help us understand the origins of gamma radiation
by The Cosmic Companion — in Syndication
Afaint glow of gamma radiation — the unresolved gamma-ray background — fills the sky. This energy is not evenly distributed, as this light (much more energetic than can be seen by the human eye) is concentrated where the greatest amount of matter is found in the early Universe, while regions containing less matter exhibit lower emissions of radiation.
This correlation between matter and the unresolved gamma-ray background, could help astrophysicists better understand the nature of dark matter, a new study suggests.
The energy which makes up this background radiation comes from sources so far away from us that they cannot be resolved by astronomers. However, the fact that this radiation is concentrated in the same regions which were densely packed with matter in the early universe could provide a tantalizing clue to its nature.

"The background is the sum of a lot of things 'out there' that produce gamma rays. Having been able to measure for the first time its correlation with gravitational lensing — tiny distortions of images of far galaxies produced by the distribution of matter — helps us disentangle them," said Simone Ammazzalorso from the University of Turin and the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Italy.
Two eyes are better than one…
This new study examined nine years of data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, as well as one year of observations from the Dark Energy Survey. The team used gravitational lensing — the bending of light from distant objects by gravity — to probe the distant regions of space.

Although researchers expected to find some correlation between matter distribution and the gamma radiation background, the data revealed a different relationship than predicted.
"This could mean that we either need to adjust our existing models for objects that emit gamma rays, or it could hint at other sources, such as dark matter," said Daniel Gruen of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC).
Gamma radiation carries the greatest amount of energy of any frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It is produced by the most powerful events in the Cosmos, including the cores of stars, and the innermost rims of galaxies, as matter plummets toward inevitable doom.
Certainly, massive events like these in the early universe could have produced some of the radiation we see today. Another possibility is that as particles of dark matter collided at this time, these events produced the observed gamma radiation. Below is a video from Hubble ESA showing a simulation of the Hubble Space Telescope examining the effects of dark matter in a cluster of galaxies.
Another possibility is that this energetic radiation is the product of blazars — active galaxies with supermassive black holes at their centers, devouring massive quantities of matter. This is the simplest explanation for the data, but there remains a problem with this explanation.
"[O]ur models for emissions from blazars can fairly well explain the low-energy part of the correlation, but we see deviations for high-energy gamma rays. This can mean several things: It could indicate that we need to improve our models for blazars or that the gamma rays could come from other sources," Gruen said.
Although dark matter makes up 80 percent of all matter in the Universe, astrophysicists are still puzzled about its nature. We can see its gravitational influence, but it does not give off light or other electromagnetic radiation.

One theory holds that dark matter consists of WIMP's (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles). When these theoretical particles collide, they would explode in bursts of gamma radiation. However, until researchers conclusively prove or disprove the existence of WIMP's, this theory concerning the nature of the mysterious gamma radiation remains unproven.
As new instruments go online in the coming years, astronomers will continue to learn more about the nature of dark matter, dark energy, and the faint, unexplained glow of gamma radiation, reaching to us still from the early Universe.
Analysis of the study was published in Physical Review Letters.

The earth was rich and fragrant, the night air full of the sounds of the swamp. She was to meet Doc John at his tiny shack along the river just before dawn. He would have Percy's body prepared.
"You must be sure this is what you really want, child." he told her in his rich Cajun accent. "He will use another's body as a vessel, his soul will return but will not look like your beloved. You will know him when he comes to claim you. The Iwa will expect both of your souls in return." Doc was a brilliant medicine man, she trusted him above all others.
He had been one of her father's slaves, freed upon his death. She had been very young when her father died from the alcohol consumption he loved more than his own daughter. Her mother had passed away in childbirth, and she had no other family save the staff and governess appointed to her via her father's will. Doc proved to be most like a father to her, he looked over her quietly as if she were his own. She was like a sister to his own daughter, Maisy.
During the ritual he would be in the space between the living and the dead, communicating with the spirits on her behalf. His ebony skin glistened with sweat and burned with fever throughout the trance. He spoke in tongues as she chanted over him, incense burning throughout his tiny home. Dahlia had visions of bodies rotting away with the natural passing of time, of writhing water snakes and insects eating at her eyes. She knew what the spirits expected of her. Maisy slaughtered the sacrificial rooster, an offering of blood to the spirits.
She was instructed to return in a year and a day to the place she last felt Percy's kiss.
It had been at the cotillion on the Springer plantation. They danced all night that warm spring evening, happy beyond all happiness. He kissed her tenderly there, telling her for the hundredth time he couldn't wait to make her his bride and father the many children they dreamed of having together. He would devote his life to making her happy.
They had been sweethearts since they were children, inseparable. Everyone in town knew they belonged to each other.
When he passed two weeks later, the entire town grieved with her. They knew her heart had broken and would never recover.
For weeks after Percy's death Dahlia retched into her chamber pot and oscillated from consciousness to unconsciousness, unable to leave her bed. The town doctor said she had contracted the typhoid that had ravaged the town and claimed the life of her Percy, but Doc knew better. It was grief sickness. With love and care from Maisy and himself, it would pass.
It did pass, but in it's place madness consumed her. She became a recluse, the town gossiped amongst themselves about what had become of her. "She's been roaming the halls of the house talking to herself in the night." one of the ladies from the local quilting club claimed. "I heard she hasn't changed her dressing gown or bathed in weeks!" said another from the book club.
Her mania grew such that her adoptive father could no longer ignore her pleas for help. He agreed to perform the ritual so that she might be with Percy again.
The townsfolk were pleasantly surprised when Dahlia began frequenting the young people's social functions once more. It took a long while, but it seemed she had finally begun the journey to recovery. She played cards with her friends and socialized at the lavish functions held within the town's wealthy plantations.
Her exotic beauty and the kindness of her soul spurred a few of the local men to attempt to court her. None were surprised to be turned away.
One year and one day after Percy was stolen from her, a cotillion ball was held at the Springer plantation.
She was an eerie yet radiant vision in the same gown she had worn that night she and Percy danced so long ago, laughing and gazing into each other's eyes. It was apricot satin, the neckline skimming her delicate collarbones. Royal velvet ribbon cinched her small waist. The colors complimented her enormous brown eyes and the shining raven curls that cascaded around her flawless cheeks. She sat daintily on a velvet chair that evening, eyes roaming the room with anticipation.
Footsteps echoed on the marble tile, loud above all the others. She shifted in her chair to see a man approaching her. He offered his hand.
His hair was as dark as her's, his stature tall and rigid. At first she felt annoyed, this was not him. He was nothing like her warm skinned, ginger haired Percy. When her chin tilted upward and her eyes met his she knew beyond a doubt it was him. They were his eyes, happy and tidepool blue.
A hush fell over the room as he led her to the dance floor. Puzzled murmuring floated around the room. "Who is he?" some whispered. "I've never seen him before!"
The murmurs melted around the couple until only the music remained. It was as if the waltz had been conjured from a dream.
Within the minutes of this one song their entire lifetime together flashed through her mind. She saw their passionate wedding night. They travelled together to new places and embarked on exciting adventures. They grew old side by side, surrounded by loving children and grandchildren. It was a relief to know she would finally be released from the prison of this life to live eternally in the next with her beloved.
"We'll never be apart again." she whispered into his cheek. Tears tumbled from her eyes.
His lips pressed to hers, then wandered to her cheeks. Her eyes involuntarily rolled into her head and closed. He nuzzled the crook of her neck.
"No. We won't." She was intoxicated by his voice, the smell of him, the warmth of his breath on her ear
When her eyes opened again, she was gazing directly into the face of her beloved. Her ginger-haired, freckle faced Percy with his happy eyes. His tidepool blue eyes.
Soothing warmth overtook her to the soles of her feet. She felt the connection between their bodies and the earth, beckoning them home.
"It's time to go now." He said softly.
"I know. I'm ready."

Code of Honor: The French Foreign Legion (; ) — однокористувацька відеогра жанрів екшн та шутер від першої особи, розроблена і видана польською компанією City Interactive  року на платформі Microsoft Windows в Польщі,  року — в Німеччині, компанією DTP Entertainment. За сюжетом гравець керуватиме одним з військових Французького іноземного легіону, який разом зі своїм загоном, намагатиметься запобігти скиданню ядерних бомб по всій Європі, заплановане одним із терористичних угрупувань, якому вдалося скинути уряд в Кот-д'Івуарі. Для розробки відеогри було використано гральний рушій Chrome Engine 2, вперше випущений польською компанією Techland 2003 року.

В Україні відеогра була видана компанією Акелла російською мовою  року під назвою «Приказано уничтожить: Иностранный легион».

Ігровий процес
Code of Honor, як і подібні шутери від першої особи тих часів, розділена на місії, протягом яких гравець проходитиме певну сюжетну лінію. Головною метою персонажа гравця є проходження певної частини локації під час місії, вбиваючи при цьому всі ворожі загони терористів, що стоять на заваді. Також, під час операції персонажу гравця можуть дати якесь конкретне завдання, наприклад: тримати оборону якоїсь позиції чи підбити танк з гранатомета, або ж закласти вибухівку тощо. Опісля проходження місії, гравець може побачити коротку інформацію про власні досягнення під час здійсненої операції, перейти на наступний рівень, або ж вийти до головного меню відеогри.

Сюжет
За сюжетом гри революційні заворушення в Кот-д'Івуарі обернулися неочікуваним небезпечним поворотом: терористи скинули місцевий уряд і, крім усього арсеналу озброєнь, отримали у свої руки партію контейнерів з відпрацьованим ядерним паливом. Тепер терористи мають намір зібрати кілька «брудних» бомб і влаштувати ядерні терористичні акти по всій Європі. Французькі легіонери, які опинилися неподалік у місті Джибуті, отримали наказ нейтралізувати загрозу.

Оцінка й відгуки
Загалом відеогра отримала несхвальні відгуки від критиків та гравців, зокрема на вебсайті-агрегаторі Metacritic від критиків відеогра отримала 38 балів зі 100.

Головними недоліками відеогри вважають саме штучний інтелект та суттєву лінійність гри. Зокрема, видання Eurogamer (30/100) у своєму відгуку пише наступне: «Дуже бідний ШІ та повна відсутність яких-небудь складнощів при проходженні не є єдиною проблемою Code of Honor. Рівні — неймовірно лінійні та відчутно "несправжні", де локації сильно обмежені різноманітними парканами, колючими дротами, непрохідними кущами тощо.».

Окрім основних проблем, видання PC Zone UK (27/100) також вказує й на певні проблеми в локалізації гри: «Рівень професіоналізму розробки цієї гри можна охарактеризувати хоча б фактом того, що розробники навіть не спромоглися повністю перекласти увесь текст.».

Серед переваг критики не можуть виділити чогось особливого. Проте, видання AceGamez, яке оцінило відеогру на 80 балів зі 100, у своєму відгуку пише: «Так, це не довга гра, графіка — не найкраща, та й присутні деякі проблеми з ШІ, але відеогра дуже весела, навіть не зважаючи на всі ці складнощі…».

UPDATED: Hoover superintendent recommends terminating coach's contract
By Wesley Hallman
Published 4:12 pm Friday, September 10, 2010
By WESLEY HALLMAN / Sports Editor
The Hoover City School Board has set a special-called meeting Thursday, Sept. 16 at 5:30 p.m. at the Hoover City Board of Education to decide the fate of suspended Spain Park High School head football coach David Shores.
Hoover School Board President A.W. Bolt said Superintendent Andy Craig recommended Shores' coaching contract be terminated. Bolt said Spain Park principal Chris Shaw agreed with Craig's recommendation.
Shores' three-year coaching contract is set to expire following the 2010 season.
Stacy Payne, the mother of senior team captain Alex Payne, said the recommendation is "setting a horrible precedent for Spain Park." Payne's oldest son Zach also played under Shores at Spain Park.
"I'm very upset and extremely disappointed," Payne said. "I think it sets a horrible precedent. I've taught my kids differently. I think they have the reputation to prove it. It's not Upwards football."
In a statement from Craig, Craig recommended that the board hold a special-called meeting to consider whether Shores should be terminated from his position as head football coach at Spain Park.
"At a hearing involving the termination of an employment contract, witnesses will be called to present evidence," Craig said in the statement. "While this matter is time sensitive, Shores must be given sufficient time to prepare for the hearing and to present evidence. The proposed time and date for the hearing on this matter are subject to the availability of the board members, Shores and his attorneys."
Bolt said Shores was told about the meeting before Craig released a statement to the media about the special-called meeting.
"(The timing of the meeting) had something to do with the availability of board members and to give Shores and his attorneys time to prepare for the meeting," Bolt said.
Shores was placed on paid administrative leave following an alleged physical altercation with a player at a team practice Aug. 24. An investigation into the incident by the Hoover City School Board has been ongoing since the incident occurred.
Shores' attorney Matt Goforth did not immediately provide comment when reached by phone.

Two years ago, I was in East Asia for Christmas, but there was still gifts to be bought. In East Asia, almost all shopping is done in a bargaining process. The first price is never the real price, especially for a foreigner with limited language skills, so the customer and the owner will barter back and forth until they can strike some sort of agreement.
Every person should have the honor of seeing a feisty, elderly East Asian woman battle with a shopkeeper over the price of celery. It is amazing. Flurries of words. Angry tones. You would swear they were about to fight . . . then they agree on a price and everyone smiles, money changes hands and she look at the carrots (only to repeat the process 20 seconds later).
However, I'm not at all skilled in this art myself and usually got ripped off. But a blind squirrel finds and acorn eventually and once I managed to outsmart the system. And we'll focus on my success here, not my failure.
For my Christmas shopping I went to a large market that sells everything under the sun and is very popular with tourists. Because of the influx of foreigners most all of the shopkeepers here could speak at least marginal English. This, seemingly a blessing, robbed my friend Mandi and I of our greatest weapon, the Secret Language.
Secret Languages are great. When you and your group are the only English speakers within half a mile it creates a tremendous freedom.
But, alas, at the large market I had no secret language. I was looking to buy a stone stamp for my dad with the traditional East Asian character for his name on it (because is there any better way to sign a document than that!?), but I was pretty lost as to what price I should offer.
This is a big moment. If you start too high, you'll only go higher and higher. If you start too low, the owner might refuse to sell to you all together. So this was a crucial moment.
However, this is when Mandi and I realized we had a trick up our sleeves. While the owner would easily understand us if we tried to discuss strategy together in English, this shopkeeper didn't know a word of Spanish. So we stopped and openly discussed the opening price in our flawless 11th grade Spanish and after a few moments the shopkeeper looked up with a disappointed look on his face and said (in East Asian), "Ah, Spanish . . . " (clearly we weren't the first people to use this tactic).
It was a rare moment of language victory for me and oh yes, it was cherished.


Amina Khatoon, a poverty-stricken woman in Bihar has set an example in Bihar by constructing a toilet with the money she begged. She has been felicitated for this effort by the district administration. Amina works as a labour and had approached the officials to help her constructing a toilet amid all the "Swachh Bharat" hype.

Not too many individuals get to be honorably acknowledged on their accomplishments. With so many of us either competing, aiming and wanting to get recognition, not everyone would become equally as successful as the rest of us. We have to admit that somehow "luck" has something to do with it. Being at the right place, at the right time, or knowing the right people, can take us to greater heights more conveniently.
PNP Chief Ronald Bato Dela Rosa was recently awarded with the Gusi Peace Prize during the awards night held on November 23, 2016 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).
This man is surprisingly so popular nowadays that it is quite overwhelming to find out he is one of the awardees among many international delegates. There was a total of 14 individuals that received the valued Guzi Peace Prize, of which was received in the past years by the likes of Noar Aunor, Lea Salonga and other Pinoy celebrities. Known popularly as Bato or the Rock or Stone, the PNP Chief projects toughness while being a bit wacky at times especially during the early days as PNP Chief since the administration of Rodrigo Duterte appointed him into position.
There was even a mascot and doll resembling his image, and I've seen him get invited to beauty pageant finals like the Miss Earth 2016 as one of the judges, and too bad I missed his much-awaited press conference at Kamuning Bakery.
The Gusi Peace Prize is a charitable foundation, an institution based in Manila, Philippines, registered at the Security and Exchange Commission, whose main objective is to give proper recognition through the conferment of awards of excellence and distinction to individuals or groups worldwide who have distinguished themselves as brilliant exemplars of society or who contributed toward the attainment of peace and respect for human life and dignity.
The Gusi Peace Prize traces its roots through the efforts of Capt. Gemeniano Javier Gusi, a World War II guerilla who fought against Japanese oppression, turned politician, and became popular for his fight for human rights. He was being supported in his endeavor by his loving wife, Madame Teodora Sotejo Gusi, who performed various charity works, helping mothers and abused children and wives, the sick and the unemployed, the poor, deprived and humiliated individuals in society throughout the Philippines. A few years before Madame Teodora Sotejo Gusi expired, she knew that their son, The Honourable Barry Gusi, a renowned internationalist, would be the right one to take over what her husband had started, thereby creating the Gusi Peace Prize Foundation where Manila, Philippines is the home.
The Gusi Peace Prize with the presidential proclamation 1476, it is a national and international institution, the pride of the Philippines hails from the far east and known as Asia's foremost awards giving body. And was established through the support of the friends of the Gusi family, who share the same mission and vision.
This foundation aims to give honor and awards to distinguished individuals or groups worldwide with exemplary contributions to peace and human rights, in scientific discoveries, politics, academe, performing arts, literature, medicine or physiology, journalism, humanities, physics, chemistry, religion, business and philanthropy, economics, internationalism and others.
The mission of the Gusi Peace Prize is to champion human rights and maintain governance, democracy, equality, international peace and goodwill. Likewise, the Gusi Peace Prize is working for people's amelioration for several years through medical missions, outreach programs, and counseling to the deprived, abused, the humiliated and the sick, with considerable assistance from the Philippine Medical Association, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes, and other nongovernment organizations.
As the Gusi Peace Prize goes on, it continues to give charity within the entire country and will continue to work for the good of the people. Indeed the Gusi Peace Prize brings economic and tourism industry in the country. The Gusi Peace Prize has become one of the foremost peace prize in Asia and the whole world.
Today, the Gusi Peace Prize envisions itself to approximate the honor and respect accorded to the Nobel Peace Prize of Norway, and the Pulitzer of the United States of America. The Gusi Peace Prize will continue to recognize, honor and give pride and dignity to every deserving achiever and peacemaker worldwide.


Is your private life truly private? Whether it be Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat, most college students juggle multiple social media accounts. When you are fresh out of college and looking to leap into your career, it is important to have a squeaky clean social media presence, or as close to clean as possible. However, with several virtual personas to manage, maintaining track of your photographs, status updates and videos can become a challenge- and that unfavorable Friday night selfie can easily get lost in the chaos of your archived photos.
Though social media may have been your favorite place to document your party pictures while living the college life, students' social media accounts can appear to be far detached from their professional aspirations. Your social media accounts are often one of the first places your employer is able to view after you apply for a job. Employers want to know that you are professional and serious and in order to convince them, your social media presence needs to align with your career aspirations.
1. Have you ever tried to google yourself to see if anything, whether it be good or bad, appears within the first couple posts or images of the search results? This is how you will appear to potential employers. This should be your first step, as it will show you where your name appears across the internet. Using quotation marks around your name will help retrieve the closest matching results, as this process can be helpful for retrieving your online activity that may have been forgotten about over the past years.
2. Clean up your pictures. Some of us millennials have been on social media sites since middle school and it is well past time to venture back and delete anything embarrassing, irrelevant or inappropriate. After you have managed your photos your profile should become clean of all inappropriate gestures, clothing and basically anything else that you would not want your future employer to see.
3. Check your blogs. If you have ever blogged online, read through your posts to view how they make you seem. Blog writing can be professional, thoughtful and can potentially increase your chances at landing a job. However, other blog writing can be profane, immature and inappropriate. If you believe that your blog falls under one of these categories, direct your mouse towards the delete button.
Your social media accounts should be a representation of who you are. Always try your best to refrain from posting too much personal information or inappropriate posts, but do not be afraid to show your personality. The bottom line is your social media accounts are part of the public sphere, where all such things you post are documented, shared and judged. Always be mindful of what you post as the internet is forever.


Dental Care for Children's mission is to provide dental services for underprivileged children around the world who don't have access to adequate dental care.
Dental care is something that's often overlooked until there's a problem. Many of us go days, maybe even weeks before realizing we need intensive dental work, but when we do, the need is urgent.
But what if you couldn't call a dentist for help? What if you had to live with an excruciating toothache because you couldn't afford the cost of dental bills? Sadly, this is the reality for thousands of children around the world who don't have access to dental care. Many underprivileged children haven't seen a dentist in years, if ever. The quantity and severity of dental problems that can accumulate over this amount of time can make a child's life uncomfortable at best, unbearable at worst.
No one should have to live with this pain, especially a child.
With your help, we can alleviate the pain for these children and give them a reason to smile again.


After struggling to find somewhere suitable to accommodate our disabled son over the years , we finally found this little gem in Weymouth. An open plan living quarters with a walk in shower room made our lives much easier. An immaculate conversion which had two levels to sleep four, was made even more impressive when we saw the view from the patio doors which opened out onto the fleet . I would recommend this accommodation without hesitation to wheelchair users, elderly and able people too. Keep up the good work tidmoor.
We were met on arrival by Sarah. The cottage was behind secure electric gates in which there was a key fob to open which made it much easier when reversing out. There is local transport (bus) virtually right outside if you wish to travel into Weymouth.
Extra wide entry doors into the cottage and patio doors onto the secluded garden area with a low level step. The living quarters is open plan/kitchen /dining area. There is a walk in shower with a powerful Mira shower with easy controls too.
A accessible loo with an additional raised seat if you needed it. With drop down supports. There was also a shower chair seat to aide with showering and anti slip mats provided.
Sarah made us very welcome and gave us her mobile number and house number if we needed advice on anything. She told us about the best local places to eat ( the Turks head in chickerell was particularly nice food) and places to visit such as west bay and Portland. A very helpful person.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage (the barn) to wheelchair users , elderly and able people too. A most enjoyable stay and are looking to return in 2016.

Enabled: Determines the font descent of the Font described by this FontMetrics object. The font descent is the distance from the font's baseline to the bottom of most alphanumeric characters with descenders. Some characters in the Font might extend below the font descent line.
Enabled: Gets the standard height of a line of text in this font. This is the distance between the baseline of adjacent lines of text. It is the sum of the leading + ascent + descent. Due to rounding this may not be the same as getAscent() + getDescent() + getLeading(). There is no guarantee that lines of text spaced at this distance are disjoint; such lines may overlap if some characters overshoot either the standard ascent or the standard descent metric.
Enabled: Determines the maximum ascent of the Font described by this FontMetrics object. No character extends further above the font's baseline than this height.
Enabled: Determines the maximum descent of the Font described by this FontMetrics object. No character extends further below the font's baseline than this height.
Enabled: For backward compatibility only.
Enabled: Gets the maximum advance width of any character in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the string's baseline. The advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.
Enabled: Returns the advance width of the specified character in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the character's baseline. Note that the advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.
the advance width of the specified char in the Font described by this FontMetrics object.
Enabled: Returns the total advance width for showing the specified String in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the string's baseline.
Note that the total advance width returned from this method does not take into account the rendering context. Therefore, the anti-aliasing and fractional metrics hints can affect the value of the advance. When enabling the anti-aliasing and fractional metrics hints, use getStringBounds(String, Graphics) instead of this method. The advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.
the advance width of the specified String in the Font described by this FontMetrics.
Suppressed: Returns the total advance width for showing the specified array of characters in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the string's baseline. The advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters. This is equivalent to measuring a String of the characters in the specified range.
the advance width of the subarray of the specified char array in the font described by this FontMetrics object.
Suppressed: Returns the total advance width for showing the specified array of bytes in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the string's baseline. The advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters. This is equivalent to measuring a String of the characters in the specified range.
the advance width of the subarray of the specified byte array in the Font described by this FontMetrics object.
Suppressed: Gets the advance widths of the first 256 characters in the Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the character's baseline. Note that the advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.
an array storing the advance widths of the characters in the Font described by this FontMetrics object.
Enabled: Checks to see if the Font has uniform line metrics. A composite font may consist of several different fonts to cover various character sets. In such cases, the FontLineMetrics objects are not uniform. Different fonts may have a different ascent, descent, metrics and so on.

With some slight adjustments, we could quickly start to improve education by adding a few new subjects aimed at helping kids become healthy and successful adults. By teaching students information that will truly benefit them, we could start to transform education (and the world!) in a positive way.
Particularly in the United States, we are failing to educate our kids on the importance of nutrient-rich, organic, and non-GMO foods. The genetically modified food packed with chemicals that stocks our shelves and feeds our schoolchildren is very likely responsible for skyrocketing obesity and cancer rates.
Especially in a time when health hazards like these are on the rise, wouldn't it be wise to teach our children how to make sound nutritional decisions?
Teaching students about the Law of Attraction from an early age would give kids the tools they need to go after their big dreams and live fulfilling lives.
To be fair, I do believe that education does serve a valuable purpose, and we are fortunate that most people today learn literacy, mathematics skills, social studies and science (amongst other subjects).
However, this is a very narrow scope of what we could be teaching the students in our schools, and I believe it misses the mark on what our children really need to know in order to be happy and successful in adulthood.
By teaching kids how to meditate, proper nutrition and the Law of Attraction, we would give students the tools they need to not only be knowledgable, but to flourish.
We would improve our nation's health (both physically and mentally), and our economy would expand as more people would have and create innovative and passionate careers for themselves. With happier, healthier and more prosperous citizens, we'd also very likely reduce violence and crime.
If you'd like to learn how the Law of Attraction and meditation can improve your life, a membership with Raise Your Vibration Today might be for you. Members learn how to reach their goals with positive thinking and the Law of Attraction and receive personalized support along with full access to my video tutorials, guided meditations, ebooks, and audiobooks.

A380 Restaurant: Singapore Airlines Reveals Pricing For Each Class
Singapore Airlines has today released details of the pricing for its A380 restaurant. The experience, taking place towards the end of October, can be enjoyed by 'passengers' for between SG$50 ($37) and SG$600 ($440), depending on the cabin class.

A380 restaurant pricing unveiled
For two days only, Singapore Airlines is turning one of its iconic Airbus A380s into a restaurant. The plane won't take off. Instead, it will remain on the ground at Changi, acting as a stationary dining experience for those missing the opportunity to scoff some of Singapore Airlines' wonderful inflight feasts.
The airline revealed its plans for the A380 restaurant earlier this week, but details were limited. Now, we know a lot more about what the experience will involve, including how much you'll need to shell out to get a seat on the A380 at Changi.

Just like the real deal, diners can opt for a variety of classes onboard the A380. This ranges from the comfortable economy cabin, with its 32-inch pitch seating and 10.6-inch IFE screen to the gold standard first class Suites, a fully private room with a full-sized bed and separate adjustable leather seat.
Cheap and cheerful in economy
For those just looking for a taste of the experience without breaking the bank, Singapore Airlines has priced the economy class offering at a very affordable SG$50 ($37) per person. This will get guests a typical economy class meal, a couple of alcoholic drinks, and some special limited edition souvenirs.
For a bit of an upgrade on that, passengers can opt for the premium economy class. Here, seats are upholstered in leather and boast a 38-inch pitch. The calf rests, winged headrests and footrests will make for a comfortable moment of relaxation after the meal, and the 13.3 inch full HD IFE screen means a more enjoyable KrisWorld experience. Prices here are SG$90 ($66) per person.

All passengers will have access to the inimitable Singapore Airlines KrisWorld inflight entertainment during the experience. This opens up more than 1,000 entertainment options, ranging from the latest films to music and TV shows. Those who turn up in heritage wear, such as a saree or batik shirt, will receive a special gift, regardless of class.
Upgrade to premium classes for more fun
For the really premium experience, Singapore Airlines has opened up its business and first class cabins for its diners too. The airline flies three versions of the A380, so without knowing which particular plane is going to be used for the experience, it's hard to put a number on how many places will be available.
Business class ranges from 60 to 82 seats on the A380 and features a 1-2-1 layout with 34 inch wide seats. The seat converts into a fully flat bed, although it's not clear if diners will be allowed to take a post-meal nap. Probably not. Pricing here is SG$300 ($220) per person.

First class suites number either six or 12 depending on the aircraft. To get a seat in the suites for the meal, it's a slightly eyewatering SG$600 ($440) per person. However, if you, like so many of us, are unlikely to ever be able to afford to fly long-haul in one of these suites, it's a great way to experience one of the most luxurious products in the sky.
The suites come with a separate standalone bed, as well as a luxurious leather seat, hand-stitched by Italian craftsmen Poltrona Frau. Every suite has a door, making them incredibly private, and the 23 inch personal TV screen is one of the biggest around.
What we don't know yet
Reservations for the A380 restaurant at Changi are opening from October 12th, with the experience going ahead on October 24th and 25th. The airline has said there will be limited spaces available for a pre-lunch tour of the A380 on the day too.

Passengers can also redeem KrisFlyer miles for their seats on the A380 restaurant. The pricing for this ranges from 6,250 miles for economy up to 75,000 miles for a suite. However, as One Mile At A Time points out, this is an exchange rate of just 0.8 SGD per mile, which isn't the best value.
However, while the pricing has been revealed, there's still a lot we don't know. Most importantly, there has been no reveal of the menu and how it varies between classes. The airline has said that the meals will feature "international cuisines and the best dishes from our Peranakan menu, specially designed for Restaurant A380 @Changi by acclaimed Singaporean chef Shermay Lee." Details, we assume, will follow.

Striking at the head is the only real option.
Attacking The Iranian Octopus
jzumwalt
The April 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico provides a parallel lesson on how to conduct U.S. foreign policy.
An oil rig explosion there triggered the largest accidental marine spill in petroleum industry history, releasing oil pollutants into the environment for three months until the well from which they flowed was capped. But, what if BP's efforts had focused exclusively on containing the oil spewing out of the well rather than on capping it? Obviously, such an approach — attacking the effects rather than the source of the spill — would have been foolish, still leaving us with continuing spillage eight months later.
The key to BP's success was effectively attacking the source of the problem first. Failing to do so would have been senseless — and an endless exercise in resolution. Yet this is the approach taken by the Obama Administration in the conduct of its foreign policy in addressing much of the world's trouble spots today.
A common thread links many of the world's current problem areas. Anti-Americanism and/or instability is fostered in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, Somalia, Bahrain, Venezuela, Mexico, etc., by a common source. That source is so committed to the annihilation of America and Western culture, it has proven capable of doing something Western scholars of Islam once thought impossible: One of only a few countries in the world with a majority Shia population, this minority sect Islamic nation has worked with majority sect Sunni terrorist groups to further its own interests in the Middle East and elsewhere. To further enhance its ability to influence global instability, the source — Iran — is developing, and will soon possess unless stopped, a nuclear arms capability.
While in the Cold war the Soviet Union fostered similar anti-Americanism and instability, there are major differences between Moscow's and Tehran's approaches. The Soviets knew limits existed as to what they could do directly and indirectly — and acted accordingly. When the United States made it clear that a national security line had been crossed with the 1962 placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba, Moscow backed down. Also, while Russia wielded influence over proxies, it carefully used them so as to avoid both Soviet fingerprints and direct military confrontation with the United States. Such is not the case with Iran.
When Islamic extremists came to power in Iran in 1979, they immediately made it clear — with the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran — confrontation was the order of the day: International law and tradition posed no obstacle to taking our diplomats captive for more than a year. Since then, Iran also created the terrorist group Hezbollah to attack U.S. targets.
Evidence clearly shows Tehran gave Hezbollah the green light to launch the 1983 suicide truck bombing of the U.S. Marine Barracks in Lebanon in what, since World War II, was both the largest single non-nuclear explosion and the largest single-day loss of lives (241) of American military personnel. Iranian influence has been linked as well to the 1996 Khobar Towers attack in Saudi Arabia, which claimed another 19 U.S. lives.
In Karbala, Iraq, in January 2007, disguised members of the Quds Force — an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) specialized unit — captured several U.S. soldiers, executing them before fleeing back into Iran. Today, in Iraq and Afghanistan, most U.S. casualties are caused by improvised explosive devices — mostly provided by Iran. And in Afghanistan, Iranian-fronted charities use donations to place bounties on the heads of U.S. forces.
Iran is clearly at war with the United States. And, while Obama naively continues to believe talks with Iran will bear fruit, Tehran prepares for its ultimate objective: all-out war with the West.
In 2006, Iran — with Hugo Chavez's authorization — sent Hezbollah elements to Venezuela. Since then, Hezbollah has linked up with various drug cartels to access U.S. borders. Earlier this year, Iran and Venezuela signed an agreement by which Chavez allows Tehran to establish jointly operated military bases — armed with Iranian medium-range missiles, capable of reaching the United States, and launchers manned by IRGC soldiers. Unlike the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, however, this threat to our national security goes unchallenged by the Obama Administration.
A retired Bahrainian general noted Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution gave birth to an "octopus" — its head in Tehran with tentacles reaching far beyond its borders. Severing a tentacle in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere will not stop the Iranian octopus' pursuit of the global destabilization it seeks to pave the way for Islamic extremism. As the octopus possesses an amazing ability to regenerate severed limbs, the only way to end this pursuit is by severing its head.
Attacking a problem at its source enabled BP to end an otherwise endless problem. Doing so with Iran will help end the so-far-unimpeded march forward of Islamic extremism.

Snapchat Shows to Introduce 25 New Series From the U.K.
Snapchat currently touts 5 million users in the United Kingdom who watch Shows on the social platform that are produced by its U.S. publishing partners. As part of its efforts to better compete with popular services such as Google's YouTube and Instagram's IGTV for the growing number of online and mobile video fans, Snap Inc. is adding 25 new series from 17 U.K. content producers. The content will largely target millennials. The move highlights Snap's strategy of leveraging more TV-style content to grow engagement in specific markets and increase revenue.
"Although Snapchat has been building Discover in the U.K. for almost a year now, and it has partners producing local content in various other markets around the world, this will be the first time that the company is working specifically with local partners to produce serialized Show content for the platform," reports TechCrunch.
Rami Saad, head of international content partnerships at Snap, explained that the series are built for the U.S. market, but will not be geofenced, since all the video content is available to all Snapchat users.
Content producers include Sky News, Sky Sports and Vice — all of which have been creating content for Discover — and new partners such as Culture Trip and Gleam Futures. Content will range from news, sports and finance to travel, food, culture and lifestyle programming, even vlogs. Episodes will generally run from three to seven minutes in length.
"While some of these shows will be produced specifically for this Shows launch, they are not, to be clear, Snapchat Originals — the content that Snap launched earlier this month where it is working closely with content producers to build video series that are debuting exclusively on Snapchat," notes TechCrunch.
According to Saad, Snap is not running ads alongside the videos, but Shows "present an opportunity to help us bring commercials to the platform." They would likely take the form of six-second, non-skippable spots, the revenue from which would be shared with publishing partners.
"According to the company," notes Business Insider, "the 21 shows already available in Discover from U.S. creators attract 10 million monthly active viewers globally."

Blog: Analytics & Big Data: Is it too big for HR?
AUTHORDr Poornima Gupta
Analytics & Big Data: Is it too big for HR?
Analytics and Big Data is not much about just numbers, but also logic and reasoning
Analytics is the buzz word today. Every business function worth its salt is talking about using Big Data to strategize for its future. Can HR be far behind other functions? No.
Globally, 78 per cent companies (employing 1000 and above employees) rated HR analytics as urgent, but only 19 per cent companies felt they were equipped to handle this as compared to 81 per cent in finance, 78 per cent in operations and 58 per cent in marketing and sales (Deloitte, 2014). Thus HR is still playing catching up in the Analytics arena, though the scope is huge.
In todays' competitive environment, talent management is one of the major challenges for the organization. This includes the whole value chain from recruiting the right talent to nurturing and retaining it. HR needs to rely on Big Data and analytics to excel and not just survive as observed by Oracle in their 2013 report.
Majority of the companies are using various analytical tools to predict employee behaviour in order to design meaningful recruitment, training and compensations programs. With more and more data becoming available and accessible due to technology, HR professionals are not far behind their counterparts to harness this data for the development of their Human Capital ie their employees.
But exactly what is HR-Analytics? As per a senior talent acquisition professional, it is not much about just numbers, but also logic and reasoning. It is different from Analysis, which is mostly number crunching. Analytics uses Analysis and builds on it to understand the 'why' behind the numbers. The data is plentiful, but the process of using the results for meaningful interpretation that leads to action is what makes analytics powerful.
Studies over the past decade have shown that a judicious use of Analytics in Human resources can help predict up to 80 per cent the employee turnover, can help in making recruitment decisions by predicting the probability of the potential candidate to remain with the organization for longer than a year. Most of the companies employing analytics in HR primarily use it for recruitment, compensation and Human resource planning.
Organizations like Dentsply India and Johnson Matthey are using HR Analytics to drive their organizations' HR strategy. Employees of these companies require specific domain knowledge, making talent management a very critical aspect. These organizations capture the employee data across all locations as well as utilize Gallup data and using Analytical tools they are able to design employee engagement programs based on the age, tenure and other demographics. This helps in making employee more committed to working with the company since the incentives can now be diverse and specific to what the employee requires based on his demographic profile.
But all this is done at a very micro level. The focus is still lacking at the strategic level. As per the KPMG report in 2012, most HR teams understand the potential value of HR analytics, but they offer only generic and basic operational and transactional measurements. These metrics are unable to provide predictive data or actual insights that could have a positive impact on the success of their organization (KPMG, 2012). This is because the people dealing with analytics in HR are not specialised and do not necessarily have the capabilities of understanding of the business process to maximise discovery of data and analysis results that are acceptable. The reason could be that HR is still seen as a back office function or a cost function. There are not adequate resources in form of skilled professionals available to use the complex analytical tools to unlock the power of analytics.
