I ordered the 12xT6 announced in this Deal Alert Post (#582) pretty much as soon as it was made. I just received an email that the order was canceled due to lack of product availability.
It shows still in stock on the product page.
Thanks!! I was thinking about opening this kind of thread a few days ago, because I found out that Amazon sends to Japan as well..Not all products, and only the ones that are sent by Amazon themselves.
Will keep an eye on this thread.
Non flashlight related items also ok? Tools etc?
Sure. Just a catch all thread for when one doesn't want to create a stand alone thread for something about Amazon. Even stuff that competes with Amazon. Amazon is a big seller of Eneloops here in the US. So if you ever have a special going for Eneloops, please let us know here too.
I ordered the Ultrafire 12xT6 announced in this Deal Alert Post (#582) pretty much as soon as it was made. I just received an email that the order was canceled due to lack of product availability.
Save your money.. I ordered 1 too and I just got it today, it's definitely is not as bright as the original 12 LEDs Supernight.. even though the picture on Amazon website shows Supernight on the light, but I got Ultrafire instead.
Really? The driver handles 4 or 5×26650, 16.8-20V with no problems???
For some items — can't tell what — Amazon brings them in from a lot of sellers, advertises them separately at the seller's price and description, but Amazon will put a general ID sticker on "that" item.
For those, no matter who you think you're buying from through the Amazon site, Amazon's warehouse sends out the next "one of those" on the shelf.
So if a China lottery is supplying a lights, and a good reliable knowledgeable seller is supplying "that same" light — if Amazon labels them in inventory as the same thing — you don't necessarily get what you're paying for.
OK, just to clarify here so that nobody buys/fries their lights based on bad info: did you actually put 5×26650 fully charged, and for what amount of time? and it was "fine" and still works with no damage? Also what type of 26650? Protected or no?
Items listed as "Used – Very Good" can vary in condition. I've received items where only the seal on the packaging was broken and the contents appeared to be untouched, and I've also received items that were DOA. DOA items can be returned at Amazon's expense.
Also, Amazon Warehouse Deals prices kind of act like a reverse auction. Prices slowly fall until the item sells. They can bounce up periodically but they fall again eventually.
Edit: both items sold, and quickly.
These can be shucked if you want internal.
Nice info about "Used – Very Good" and pricing. Thank you.
I haven't keep up on hard drives, but those look like some real good deals.
Save your money.. I ordered 1 too and I just got it today, it's definitely is not as bright as the original 12 LEDs Supernight.. even though the picture on Amazon website shows Supernight on the light, but I got Ultrafire instead. . . .
Thanks for the info. Kronological is currently modding his driver in his TR-12xT6. Nothing radical. Just trying to boost the output modestly if I understand correctly. You might have the same driver.
this is a great idea IMO to have an AMZN specific one, thanks!
Fratrick Bateman / Kenny Powers.
That's a no go. I bought 3. They had an xre/xpe. No heat sinking. Just a ledge under the led. Next mode memory. I gave 2 to friends and direct drove 1. They seem to hold up on the stock driver. But over heat and turn blue when direct driven.
Well at least they will be great for gifts for non-flashaholic family.
DC Fix is finally available on Amazon. $10.99 for a roll.
I browse the Edison Bright storfront on Amazon monthly. They sometimes have a good deal on Olights.
I got a Olight M20S G2 for $29.95 shipped last week. It went up $10 this week.
Made in Japan. Alleged to possibly be rebranded Panasonic/Eneloop cells. $10.49 for eight.
Be aware that the Anker USB portable battery boxes sold through Amazon list their capacity at 3.7V so the effective true output capacity at 5V is closer to 70% of the claimed mAh capacity. Checking around this seems to be an industry standard for virtually all of these portable USB power sources. I think it is deceptive advertising as I have yet to see a product listing which notes that the capacity listed is based on mAh at 3.7V battery capacity rather than at 5V output voltage. I want to know useful output capacity at 5V, not the capacity of the batteries in the box.
IMO even worse than ANSI flashlight run time being to 10% of output and throw distance being to a light level which can only show highly reflective objects.
UniqueFire UF-T20 zoom. Too late for Xmas as shipping from China but as good a price as I have seen for this light.
Great price on a mod host for dedomed XP-G2/driver… if this version has the glass aspheric lens. I believe many of the later versions are plastic, but the amazon reviews didnt confirm.
I do not share your opinion. While I would like to see more comprehensive data from the manufacturers and sellers of these packs, I do not think that what you're seeing here is worse than the ANSI runtime standard, or particularly terrible really. Like a battery, actual available mAh will depend on load. At full load mAh should tank pretty spectacularly. At lower loads it will be much higher. Asking for the current [potentially] misleading single number to be replaced with a different potentially misleading single number is pointless. At least we know where this number comes from (it is directly copied from the cell manufacturer). Even if you specify test conditions a "mAh out" number would be mostly worthless. Without the spec, entirely worthless – it would have less merit than the currently advertised numbers IMO.
wight; I see your point but none of the USB battery power boxes seem to clearly state in their specifications that the capacity listed is at 3.7V. I noted it because SOME units list it on the power unit itself. As for changing capacity with different current draws most such units, except the highest power ones, are limited to outputs between 1 and 2 Amps at 5V and per HKJs 18650 battery reviews most decent batteries have quite close to the same capacity until the current draw becomes quite high.
My major objection is not so much that they specify things the way they do but that they carefully DO NOT MENTION that the capacity is listed for 3.7V as it seems apparent, based on customer reviews, that many are thinking that the capacity being listed is output capacity @ 5V. The capacity specifications listed are incomplete as long as the voltage involved, or the theoretical watt hours capacity, is not listed. One unit I have actually lists voltage and watt hours but only on the device itself, not in the Amazon listing. Not even a statement any where that the capacities listed are battery capacity rather than output capacity.
Give the customers full information on tech devices so the technically educated ones can make informed purchases with full knowledge of what they are getting.
When it comes to output currents, this is where it may get trickier than you realize. The batteries will be fine at 2A, 3A, etc – they don't sag at all. [Especially since they are in parallel of course!] The boost circuit? Not fine. Trying to get 2A or 3A @ 5v out of a bank of cells which is at less than 4v gets some pretty low efficiency out of those boost circuits I think. I'm assuming that's where your most significant variations will be between chargers. That said, I'm not the most educated person on this subject so I'm happy to be proven wrong about the efficiency tanking.
I've been using these types of lights for years now. This is the cheapest I've seen them.

Inaugural Miracles on Madison a success
Category: Announcements, CMN Events, For the Kids, Fundraiser
Last month, Tallahassee kicked off summer at the inaugural Miracles on Madison, a southern-style progressive dining hop through College Town, located in the heart of downtown Tallahassee. Proceeds from the event benefited Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at UF Health Shands Children's Hospital.
Guests enjoyed entertainment by Old Soul Revival and Highway 85 while sampling food from five College Town restaurants. The event also offered street games for the kids, a silent auction, a Vegas-style casino and shopping among College Town's boutiques.
This event is held in honor and celebration of the children from the Big Bend who have been, or are currently, treated at UF Health Shands Children's Hospital. Those in attendance from around the area joined in the fun while wearing an "I am a Miracle" shirt, showing all in attendance they were truly a miracle thanks to UF Health Shands.
The inaugural Miracles on Madison was a sell-out, raising more than $28,900 for CMN Hospitals at UF Health Shands Children's Hospital.

If you are a PCSing spouse, how can you prepare for a new job in your area?
When it comes to working, there is no difference between a military and a civilian spouse. Today's economic realities require both husband and wife to have an income to help the family. Paid for healthcare and a guaranteed paycheck on the first and 15th don't mean all the bills are covered or that savings are being put away for the future.
This is understood by working military spouses and creates stress for those that aren't currently employed. It's especially stressful when the family has to deal with a permanent change of station known as a PCS move.
Finding a job after a PCS is often a big worry as a military spouse. Depending on where the new duty station is and your own skill set and experience, work options can range from plentiful to zero. It's best to know in advance what areas best suit your profile or how to fit a profile considering geographical differences and the constantly changing nature of the job market.
There have been many transitions in the job market resulting from the economic roller coaster since the Great Recession of 2007-2009. A majority of the states have a lower unemployment rate than they did a decade ago but there are some who have declined even more. The growth or lack thereof in employment is mostly due to their industrial complex. States such as Wyoming, the state with the worst decline since December 2007, took a large hit because of the composition of their job market. According to "States Adding the Most Jobs Since the Great Recession," a 24/7 Wall St. article, "State employment fell by more than 15,000," and approximately 30% of that was from the construction sector alone.
Nationally, the construction industry was hit the hardest in the list of 2008's top 20 job industries from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment Statistics. Of those 20 industries, fifteen have reached and surpassed their total employment numbers from 2008. But while quite a few industries have done well and the economy has grown these past years, national statistics aren't always reflected in each state.
National statistics don't help much when looking for a job in your area. Knowing which jobs are best to pursue will help facilitate the search unless there are education or training requirements for them that aren't met. This is a common problem that most likely explains why the number of adults with a bachelor's degree increased by more or the same amount as the national increase of employment in eight of the 10 states with the largest rise in employment.
"It appears as though newer jobs tend to require a higher education," said 24/7 Wall St. There have been tremendous efforts, from government entities as well as for-profit and non-profit organizations, encouraging people to obtain a degree or certificate. The encouragement is meant to be positive but often falls short when headlines such as LA Time's "College-educated workers are taking jobs that don't require degrees" appear.
From personal experience, discouragement resides in the simple fact that there are no resources to pay for an education. No resources means no degree which could potentially mean no job or, as some have noticed, a much harder time finding a job, let alone finding one they like. As a military spouse, there's no need to be in that predicament with the resources available to us such as the MyCAA scholarship.
are no more than one hour away from base.
The states and their respective data are listed in order of highest to lowest military population according to Defense Manpower Data Center's DoD Personnel, Workforce Reports & Publications.
To obtain an Associate's degree, students must have 60 or more credits. A certificate is less than 30 credits on average. This will limit the options for what certificates and degrees the scholarship can completely pay for depending on your location. Don't let this list limit your options as they are only the top five fastest growing and top five with the most openings. For both categories, there are more jobs that are "hot" right now. To see other jobs, visit https://www.CareerOneStop.org and then go to the state profiles page listed under 'toolkit'. It's beneficial to look at the state you're currently stationed and others to know whether or not your skills are transferrable.
The occupations listed are statewide. To find out more about the job in your precise area such as salary and employee reviews go to https://www.Glassdoor.com. To find job openings near you we recommend using https://www.Indeed.com or https://www.Monster.com.


Sometimes in order to move on, we need to let go of people (or things) in our lives. Occasionally, we have to let go for the sake of the other person so they can carry on with theirs. I've found letting go is hard but holding on is even harder. This painful process will tear your heart out and you'll experience you're not the same again. Life has a funny way of shaping us through our experiences, people and circumstances. Allow it to change you and reveal the next path before you.
Overtime, the act of letting go will restore your soul, re-balance your life and release your spirit. And the heart-strings that once used to tug so tight are now set free. So throw yourself into the wind and let go. Fall into the arms of emptiness and see what catches you. Close your eyes, walk away and take only the beautiful memories with you. Yes, your heart will ache, long and be desolate but ride out the wave of emotions and see where it carries you.
Trust that life will work out. Have faith that the days ahead of you will look brighter. And have the courage to face a new day. Open your palms and let go… and then wait to see what lands in your hands.
I can almost guarantee there will be people and experiences that will break your heart. It'll ache with loss or it'll be broken by betrayal. Our hearts are full of contradictory emotions – it expands with thumping beats when it's elated and contracts with stings of death when it's sad. At times, the unbearable searing pain of sorrow rips our hearts apart and leaves emptiness deep within our souls. And so we begin to carry the heavy weight of our hearts into isolation and despair.
We can respond to heartbreaks in two ways, we can make a vow to never give our hearts away or we can risk being vulnerable again – to simply be human. It takes courage to choose the latter.
Let life not harden your heart or let people break your trust in humanity. Let your heartache not paint the canvas of your life with protectiveness, fear and disillusionment – for this isn't truly living life to the fullest. Rather acknowledge the pain, take time to mourn the loss and have the courage to open yourself up again because life is beautiful, yes, even in the painful moments. I've learned that beauty is born out of our struggles, our losses and the excruciating pain in life. It's what makes us beautiful, sensitive and compassionate.

Many series include both seasonally adjusted (SA) and not seasonally adjusted (NSA) data. In some cases, the NSA data will be updated but the SA data will not be updated. The reason is usually that the data series has not accumulated enough new seasonal factors to trigger an adjustment.The NSA series can be located here (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PUNT412NRMNN) The FRED team is currently working on a new procedure to replace SA data that has not yet be updated with NSA data that has been updated.
Many series include both seasonally adjusted (SA) and not seasonally adjusted (NSA) data.

Q: How do I use data from mysql database as a variable list I'm trying to use the results of a mysql query as the values for a variable in a loop. However, the results from the query are returned as a tuple with the value indicating a long integer. Here's the example result:
((2136L,),(41L,),(340L,),...etc)
For some reason, when I try to use the results, the value literally contains the "L," suffix, and so I can't use it at all. Because it is a tuple, I can't change it to an integer and drop the suffix.
Here's the basic version of my code:
db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","root","password","testdb")
cursor = db.cursor()

sql = ("SELECT thisid FROM thislist")
cursor.execute(sql)
data = cursor.fetchall()

mynumber = str(data[0]) #here i get (2136L,) instead of '2136'

mystring = 'The last thing should be a number as a string: ' + mynumber

The end result is "The last thing should be a number as a string: 2136L,", when what I need is "...as a string: 2136".
I'm a python noob, but I've just been having the hardest time finding a solution to what I imagine is a pretty simple problem. Thanks!

A: fetchall() returns a tuple of tuples; in other words, it returns a tuple of rows, each of which is itself a tuple of columns. That means that data[0] in your code is still a tuple.
You could fix this by accessing data[0][0], but in your case, since you only want to fetch one row, you could use fetchone() and still access data[0].

Q: Ручная блокировка таблицы в Oracle Работаю с Oracle из PHP через OCI. Есть скрипт, который выполняет некоторые действия с таблицей. Одновременно могут работать 2 и более экземпляра этого скрипта, из-за этого действия над таблицей могут задваиваться. Пытаюсь избежать этого с помощью этого кода:
$r->query('LOCK TABLE t IN EXCLUSIVE MODE', array(), OCI_DEFAULT);
$r->query('SELECT id FROM t WHERE a = 1', array(), OCI_DEFAULT);
while ($r->fetch()) {
    $sql    = 'BEGIN UPDATE t SET a = 2 WHERE id = :p; END;';
    $params = array(
        array(
            ':p',
            $rs->result('ID')
        )
    );
    $r2->query($sql, $params, OCI_DEFAULT);
}
$rs->query('COMMIT');

Однако, данные как задваивались, так и задваиваються. Что не так с блокировкой? Ведь по идее Oracle не должен даже давать другим экземплярам скрипта читать из таблицы t, пока первый экземпляр не сделает commit.
Класс $r это просто обертка, которая делает ociparse потом oci_execute.
A: А что вы хотите добится после выполения скрипта? Как я понял, вы сначала получаете из таблицы все ID, у которых a=1. Далее циклом проходите по результату и у каждого полученного ID делаете a=2. Если это так, то не проще все сделать одним запросом?
UPDATE t SET a = 2 WHERE a=1

и еще - что вы подразумеваете под задваиванием данных?

Retroperitoneal giant schwannoma eroding lumbal vertebra: A case report with a literature review
Marija Sakalauskaite , Juozas Stanaitis , Saulius Cepkus , Mindaugas Pleckaitis and Raimundas Lunevicius
A huge schwannoma, located in the retroperitoneal space, is found very rarely. The main purpose of this paper is to present the case of a giant retroperitoneal schwannoma which partly invaded L4 vertebral body. The secondary purpose is to summarize the case-report articles on retroperitoneal schwannomas. A circumscribed heterogenic tumour was revealed on transabdominal sonography. It extended into the right retroperitoneal space. CT and MRI revealed a paravertebral tumour in the size of 11 cm × 9 cm, which is causing a partial lysis of L4 vertebral body (15% of vertebral capacity), expanding intravertebral foramen and filling the right retroperitoneal space. A preoperative core needle biopsy was performed and a benign schwannoma was diagnosed. A complete surgical excision of the tumour was achieved by a two-step operation. During the first step, the neurosurgeons made L4 hemilaminectomy, facetectomy and a transverse process resection by posterior extended approach. The general surgeons excised the residual retroperitoneal part of the tumour by midline transabdominal approach 10 days later. The diagnosis of benign schwannoma was verified histochemically. There were no sign of tumour recurrence or spine destabilization at the six-month follow-up. In conclusion, although majority of giant retroperitoneal schwannomas can be completely removed performing one-step operation, a preoperative consideration about rationality of two-step operation should be mandatory when tumour destructs a part of vertebral body. Our case shows that the combined two stage complete surgical excision of a giant retroperitoneal schwannoma, eroding 15% of L4 vertebra's osseous capacity, is effective and does not have any negative influence on spinal stability.

IN YOUR DAILY DOSE: you'll discover that gender differences - whether in animal or human - are regulated by hormones in your brain that you cannot control.
MAKING CHANGES: No changes today! Just a few hints to help your current relationships.
FACT OR FICTION: You've heard that fish have to move in order to breathe. The idea is that water flows in the mouth and out through the gills, extracting oxygen from the water along the way. However, there is one fish that doesn't move when it's cold and doesn't need to move to breathe.
Genetic differences between male and females originate from hormonal differences and brain receptors. Many of the different behaviors often attributed to men and women are regulated by these hormones and their receptors, often ending in a conflict of interest that has more to do with how the different sexes think about a situation, rather than the ultimate outcome they want to achieve.
Understanding that there are differences may make it just a little easier to understand why guys step over the same sock on the floor every day and women appear to be angry for longer periods of time than seem reasonable. A little understanding and compromise goes a long way.
There really are differences between men and women that should be celebrated and considered, instead of used to create conflict. We may be different, but we usually have the same goal - a stable, healthy and happy relationship.
Use the information to help you better understand your partner and hopefully reduce conflicts.
1. What are 3 words that I associate with personal freedom?
2. What is the relationship between freedom and responsibility?
3. How does freedom help me to live authentically?

Most sharks must be in constant motion to move water past their gills and absorb oxygen from the water. There is one type of shark that doesn't have to move. The Nurse shark can sit on the ocean floor without movement and continue to breath. They have a limited diet and don't really move around in the cold months. Very different from most other sharks!

Netflix show sparks new debate over S. Korea's military conscription

SEOUL: A hit Netflix series is reigniting a debate in South Korea over the country's massive military, its history of abuse scandals and the mandatory conscription that fills its ranks with young men.
D.P., short for Deserter Pursuit, has been among the top Netflix shows in South Korea since it premiered on Aug 27.
Starring Jung Hae-in and Koo Kyo-hwan, the six-episode drama follows military police assigned to capture deserters, shining a light on daily life for many conscripts, including mental and physical abuse from other soldiers.
Director Han Jun-hee said he sought to tell a humanising story about how the system makes deserters both victims and criminals, as well as the toll it takes on those forced to do the hunting.
He said: "D.P. is a story of tracing a deserter, but at the same time, it is a paradoxical story of looking for someone's unfortunate son, brother or lover."
Asked about the popularity of the show, a National Defence Ministry spokesman said that the military environment has changed and that the ministry has tried to stamp out abuse and harsh treatment.

Last week, the military announced that even before the series came out, it had planned to do away with the system of having rank-and-file soldiers track down AWOL (absent without leave) comrades. That change will go into effect in July 2022.
South Korea maintains an active duty military of 550,000, with 2.7 million troops in reserves, amid decades of tensions with North Korea.
All men must serve for up to 21 months, depending on the military branch.
South Korea's military criminal law punishes desertion by up to 10 years in prison.
The ministry said that abuse and desertion among conscripts are down, largely because of a 2019 decision to allow enlisted soldiers to use cellphones in their barracks.
The ministry declined to confirm the exact number of deserters, but South Korean media reported that 55 cases were reported last year, down from 78 in 2019.
Military deaths by suicide also dropped from 27 to 15 in the same period.
D.P. landed as the country debates the future of conscription and the potential for abuse, particularly as young men facing dim economic prospects have complained of losing time to military service that they could have spent on studies or work.
Reaction to the series among former conscripts has been mixed, with some saying it mirrored their experiences, others saying its depictions of abuse are overblown, and some avoiding the show altogether to prevent traumatic memories from resurfacing. - REUTERS

Charlottesville Attacker Apologizes Before Being Sentenced to Life in Prison
Shira Feder
James Fields Jr.—who drove his car into a crowd of protesters and killed activist Heather Heyer at a white nationalist rally in Virginia in 2017—was sentenced to life in prison on Friday. The 22-year-old pleaded guilty to federal hate crime charges and admitted to deliberately driving his car into protesters. He will be sentenced separately next month on state charges. Fields reportedly apologized before the verdict was read. Fields' lawyers argued for leniency because of his history with mental illness. Prosecutors told the judge that during a high school trip to a German concentration camp, Fields "was like a kid at Disney World," telling classmates, "This is where the magic happened."
In 2017, hundreds of white supremacists swarmed Charlottesville, North Carolina, for a Unite the Right rally, where they walked the streets shouting anti-Semitic phrases.

Sheep ranchers look into 'targeted grazing'
Ching Lee
Sheep rancher Don Watson, above, operates Wooly Weeders, which provides grazing services for vegetation management, a concept that is gaining popularity with landowners.
On a harvested wheat field in Yolo County, Don Watson's "wooly weeders" hungrily chomp on a gourmet feast of invasive plants that have overtaken the property.
The landowner pre-irrigated the field to let the weeds to grow out before Watson put his sheep to work on the land. The idea is to allow the animals to clean up the field rather than using herbicides.
"This is just a symbiotic quid pro quo that we're doing," Watson said. "We gain on the lambs and they'll gain from how (the lambs) are inoculating the soil with manure, which acts as a fertilizer."
Watson, who spoke last week at a workshop on targeted grazing, currently operates two businesses: Wooly Weeders, which provides grazing services for vegetation management, and Napa Valley Lamb Co., which produces meat and wool.
Don Watson walks among his flock in a harvested wheat field in Yolo County. His sheep will eat the weeds on the property and provide manure to fertilize the land.
The California Wool Growers Association held the workshop in Woodland to help educate producers about the potential profitability, as well as the legal and financial risks, associated with adding grazing services to livestock operations.
Though still a relatively new idea, using livestock such as sheep and goats to control weeds and brush has gained attention and popularity in recent years. Watson called his grazing business a good complement to his ranching operation that provides another important revenue stream.
He said before getting into the grazing business, he was actually losing money selling meat and wool. Today, he said he nets a profit.
"It's not something that you're going to get rich on," he said. "You're going to make a living and it's a great lifestyle, but chances are you're not going to be very wealthy."
He actually got into the mowing business in the 1990s quite by accident. His sheep had gotten into Robert Mondavi's vineyard and shredded some vines. To make amends, he donated lambs to the winery. On his way out, he ran into Mondavi himself and the two struck up a conversation about sheep.
"I said, 'If you want to turn grassland into a golf course, sheep are the ideal animals to do it,'" he said. "A few weeks later, his vineyard guys called and said, 'When can the sheep come back?'"
Since then, his grazing business has been growing, with most clients coming to him unsolicited. He acknowledged there's not much competition because of dwindling sheep numbers and increasing demand for more eco-friendly methods of vegetation management and land restoration. The high cost of fertilizer has also made his grazing services a cost-effective alternative for farmers, he said.
"If we could do it for 80 percent of what they would pay a machine or herbicide to do, then it would be a viable concept for us," said Watson, who charges a minimum of $5,000 for a job. "It wouldn't be just something green that everybody loves for the first year, but rather we've saved them so much money they couldn't afford not to hire us back next year."
Lani Malmberg, who runs Ewe4ic Ecological Services, which uses goats, also spoke about her experience in the grazing business, which she started in 1997. She referred to herself as a gypsy because she doesn't own any land and travels throughout the Western states to wherever her services are needed.
She stressed the importance of explaining to clients goals set for a particular site and using scientific soil and plant information to show improvements that have been made. She also recommended having good dogs to herd the livestock and protect them from predators.
"Weeds are always smarter than the plants. Goats are smarter than weeds. And the only thing smarter than goats is a good border collie," she said.
To keep her goats healthy, she said she tries to maintain at least seven varieties of plants in their diet. Goats prefer to eat weeds, though, and will eat all poisonous plants, which don't seem to bother them, she said.
Producers interested in getting into the grazing business need to consider the legal risks and insurance requirements, said Jack Rice, an attorney with the California Farm Bureau Federation, and Paul Lewis, a sheep producer and retired insurance agent.
Lewis said producers who own property likely already have a farm/ranch policy that generally covers their liability for negligent acts, such as if their guard dog bites somebody. But for contract grazing, Lewis said producers need to contact their agent and specifically add a description or location of the property being grazed, and depending on the requirements of the property owner, add them as an additional insured.
He recommends also having a personal liability policy, which covers liability over the policy limits of the farm/ranch policy, as well as excess liability on all vehicles and equipment. And if there are employees, they must have all the necessary coverage as required by state and federal law, which may include workers' compensation insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance and vehicle coverage.
Producers should also consider getting coverage for the inadvertent taking of endangered or threatened species such as a protected plant, Lewis said.
Regarding contracts, Rice said producers need to understand the difference between a typical pasture lease agreement, which is familiar to most producers who lease ground to graze their livestock, and a grazing services agreement, which is used when a producer is being hired to provide a service.
He said putting an agreement in writing allows it to be legally enforced; having an enforceable contract is highly advisable should one party not follow through.
"Grazing service is a relatively new concept. You're going to want to get it written down and know what it is you're signing," he said. "You really want to make sure you understand it and that the other party understands it. If you have to look through it and talk about what it means, it's worth it to do it."
A panel of land managers and producers also spoke about the need for targeted grazing and its underutilization for fire fuel abatement. Producers say they face challenges getting access to public lands that need these services.
Anne Yost, a regional rangeland program manager for the U.S. Forest Service, said public resistance is partly to blame. She noted that not only are resources limited in the Forest Service to pursue targeted grazing, but there are also conflicting laws and regulations that guide the management of U.S. forests.

How do we position aspiring next gen educators to be successful? Mirror next gen learning for students, position educators as agents of change, and enable educators to direct their learning.
Investing in people is critical if the promise of next gen learning is to be realized. It's educators who help create and enable personalization. Educators put technology to use. Educators co-design and co-operatively manage learning environments (along with students, parents and other individual and organizational influences). To be a next gen educator you must know next gen learning, have experienced it, and be able to model it through your daily actions and interactions.
Several new resources outline necessary or recommended next gen mindsets and skill sets. Teacher competencies for learner-centered teaching, blended learning, and deeper learning are good examples, and yet there are still relatively few comprehensive supply-side offerings.
So, how do we position aspiring next gen educators to be successful? Based on our experience working with six partner sites in the NGLC Regional Funds for Breakthrough Schools, we've observed a thoughtful mirroring of the elements of next gen learning specifically building skills in personalized, blended and competency strategies; a commitment to professional learning in which educators exercise choice and become agents of change; and, a flexible design that enables educators to shape and direct a large portion of their own learning—the what, when and how. If you think this description sounds like next gen learning environments for students, you're right. That's intentional.
"If we want more students to experience powerful learning, we need to create development pathways that allow school and district leaders to benefit from the same blended, competency-based and deeper learning experiences that they seek to create for students."
Educators participating in the Regional Funds use online platforms—like New Orleans' Personalized Learning Community of Practice (screenshot below)—to communicate with their school teams, access learning modules, upload work products and share resources across teams asynchronously. Then during face-to-face workshops (such as New Orleans' Personalized Learning Group Meetings), participating school teams engage in discussion, dive deeply into design thinking, collaborate with experts, and apply new learning to planning their own school designs.
The resulting learning network creates a "virtual home" for participating educators, and reinforces their shared identity—as members in a community of innovative, and sometimes tech-savvy change agents taking on the challenge of next gen personalized learning. Since they're not working alone, educators can tap into the power of this community identity… the power to create, to collaborate, and to persist with the encouragement of like-minded colleagues.
After Dwight Davis of Wheatley Education Campus in Washington, D.C., participated in regional partner CityBridge Foundation's Summer Design Institute, he shared how he planned to create a similar sense of community that he experienced at the institute among teachers at his school.
Blended strategies that foster connections between and among educators while engaging them in content help accelerate learning and build lasting community.
Effective professional learning employs creative methods for tapping our curiosity in order to unlock more knowledge. Educators working with regional partners often remark that next gen learning wasn't what they thought it was; and that the more they know and grow, the more they realize what they don't know. For me, this is a litmus-like indicator of an engaged learner, especially when that reflective insight is shared with wonder and excitement instead of frustration or discontent.
The Regional Funds sites provide a space for educators to look with a critical lens at the current system. The goal is to identify what today's schools do well and what they don't do well because they were designed for a different time, different set of assumptions, different purpose. This process of reflection can make unconscious paradigms visible and facilitate a constructive process of unlearning.
Participants then can look to NGLC's national network of next gen learning schools to serve as inspiration for what's possible. Several regional partners invited leaders from these innovative schools to facilitate workshops and serve as mentors throughout the training process. Participants looked at case studies, videos, and profiles of NGLC-funded schools. They went on site visits to see how these models operate, to experience their culture directly, and to observe instructional practice.
It's at this point that many educators, now curious from their own experience, begin driving more of their own learning by seeking to understand these new models. Educators determine the school model design elements that resonate with them and how to translate that inspiration into the school they're imagining. What aligns best with their educational philosophy and vision for student learning? What works best for their school community?
In this video, Errika Baker of University of Chicago Charter School, Donoghue Campus, describes that process, talking about how she might apply to her school what she learned this summer through a Breakthrough Schools: Chicago workshop on scheduling and staffing.
Because competency-based professional learning values the expertise that educators possess, the approach opens up space for learning opportunities to attend to the emotional aspects of change. When participants examined the current system, for example, it wasn't just an analytical exercise; it was an emotional experience. I've observed many participants talk about a particular child that wasn't served well, someone the teacher wanted to help but couldn't in the traditional system. This personal connection to the challenges confronting the current system then became a driving motivation to consider different models for school and for entirely new possibilities before unimagined. It unleashed their expertise, empowering them to apply their knowledge and skills to the challenge of next gen learning design.
Coaching plays a prominent role in cultivating next gen professional learning. Coaching strategies are powerful because they honor educator agency. Unlike experts, advisors and managers, coaches rarely give answers or advice; instead they listen, and through thoughtful questioning, push team members to discover their own best answers and next steps. Coaches help teams stay on track through regular check-ins and they pave the way to supporting and providing what it is teams say they need. Coaches are flexible and expect needs to change. A coaching model of professional learning opens up time for learning as a journey, rather than treating it only as a requirement, destination or end-goal.
Each team of educators in the Regional Funds is actively engaged in planning a next gen learning school. Regional partners are purposeful in creating the conditions that set these educators up to succeed. So, it may seem ironic to think that's largely achieved by granting them the freedom to fail—meaning permission to try out new ideas and strategies, to make mistakes, and to shift local designs based on new information. This is part of educator ownership of the school model and choice in their learning experience. Educators have skin in the game. It's their ideas that are being tried. Coaches can help these adult learners to trust the insights failure provides, build on their own strengths, and become confident in their role as change agents.
Coaching takes a different form in each site of the Regional Funds initiative, but it is shared by all sites. Coaching is a cornerstone of New England's strategy for school-based transformation. The Great School's Partnership deploys coaches directly to each site to guide and support schools. In Washington, D.C., and Chicago, a combination of internal and external coaches are used. Sometimes the coaches have a special expertise such as having started a new school themselves and can play a supportive mentor-like role; but even in these cases, they do not posit that they have the answer or that their work should be emulated. New Orleans and Oakland contracted external coaches to support school teams. Embedded coaches support the schools in Colorado and are key partners in the initiative.
Deeper learning involves mastering core content while learning to think critically, collaborate, communicate, direct your own learning, and believe in your ability to learn. Here are three fundamental principles that you can use to pull together your own next gen professional learning program.
This is pioneering work. There's no silver bullet.
The six Regional Funds sites have made an investment of time, resources, and ongoing support, because that's what it takes. While they may not have all the details worked out, the coordinating partners know that only a long-term commitment to the professional learning of the educators in their region will lead to success for their local initiative. They curate and iterate thoughtfully in order to serve and support these willing, able, and courageous next gen pioneers in a largely as yet unknown territory.
The most powerful professional learning has come from the relationships among and across school teams, through face-to-face convenings, coaching, and online or networked interactions. The building of a community has exponentially improved the quality of designs developed by participating schools and accelerated their capacity for change. Leveraging the national network has provided a boost, but local context and shared experience are the most fertile ground for growth of next gen learning.
Participating educators are making a choice to take on the challenge of next gen school design, and they need freedom to make decisions about what that design looks like. It's their own learning journey that's exciting. Rather than providing professional development that's prescriptive, the sites are offering the time, space, and support for school leaders and teachers to utilize their agency. It's a good reminder of what students need for learning, too.
The Possibilities for Next Gen Professional Learning - NGLC and its partners in the Next Gen Professional Learning Project asked educators to share with us their use of and perspectives on next gen learning for teachers and this is what we learned.
Learning Excursions - Giving teachers personalized professional learning authentically enables next gen personalized learning for students. We look at an example of this with a recent "learning excursion" to San Diego schools.
We Are All Learners: Professional Learning in Collaborative Networks - The opportunity to connect with a network around shared problems of next gen learning practice offers fresh and different perspectives that rejuvenate your sense of purpose.

Where did the Slavs come from: definition, description and history
The first information about the Slavs
Where is the habitat of the Slavs?
The result of the Hun invasion
Expansion of Slavic territory
Principles of the settlement of the Slavs in the East
The lifestyle of the Eastern Slavs. Management Issues
Slavic squads
Classes of the Slavs
Religion of the Eastern Slavs
Slavic culture
Questions about where the Slavs came from, when and where the Slavic people arose, excite people who want to know their roots. Science studies the ethnogenesis of the Slavic tribes, based on archaeological, linguistic and other discoveries, but does not give an unambiguous answer to many difficult questions. There are different, sometimes opposing points of view of scientists, but even the authors themselves doubt their reliability due to the lack of source material.
It is known for certain where the first information about the Slavs came from. Written evidence of the existence of Slavic tribes dates back to the 1st millennium BC. These data deserve the trust of scientists, as they were found in the sources of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Arab civilizations that already had their own written language. The appearance of the Slavs on the world stage takes place in the 5th century AD. e.
The modern peoples inhabiting Eastern Europe were once a single community, which is usually called the Proto-Slavs. They, in turn, in the II century. BC e stood out from an even more ancientIndo-European community. Therefore, scientists refer all languages of the Slavic group to this language family.
However, despite the similarity of languages and culture, there are big differences between the Slavic peoples. So say anthropologists. So are we from the same tribe?
According to scientists, in ancient times there was a certain community, ethnic group. These people lived in a small area. But experts cannot name the address of this place, tell mankind where the Slavs came from in the history of European states. Rather, they cannot agree on this issue.
But they are unanimous in that the Slavic peoples took part in the mass migration of the population, which took place in the world later, in the 5th-7th centuries, and was called the Great Migration of Peoples. The Slavs settled in three directions: in the south, on the Balkan Peninsula; in the western, to the rivers Oder and Elbe; in the east, along the East European Plain. But where?
On the modern map of Europe you can find a historical region called Galicia. Today, part of it is located on the territory of Poland, and the other - in Ukraine. The name of the area gave scientists the opportunity to assume that the Gauls (Celts) used to live here. In this case, the region of the initial residence of the Slavs may be the north of Czechoslovakia.
And yet where did the Slavs come from? The description of their habitat in the III-IV centuries, unfortunately, remains at the level of hypotheses and theories. Sources of information for this timealmost not. Archeology is also unable to shed light on this period of time. Experts are trying to see the Slavs in the carriers of different cultures. But even in this there is a lot of controversy even for the professionals themselves. For example, the Chernyakhov culture belonged to the Slavic culture for a long time, and many scientific conclusions were made on this basis. Now more and more experts are inclined to believe that this culture was formed by several ethnic groups at once with a predominance of Iranians.
Scientists have made attempts to determine the place of residence of the Slavs by analyzing their vocabulary. The most reliable could be the definition of where the Slavs came from, according to the names of the trees. The absence of the names of beech and fir in the Slavic lexicon, that is, the ignorance of such plants, indicates, according to scientists, the possible places for the formation of an ethnic group in the north of Ukraine or the south of Belarus. Again, reference is made to the fact that the boundaries of these trees may have changed over the centuries.
The Huns, a nomadic warlike tribe moving across the territory of the Far East and Mongolia, have been conducting hostilities with the Chinese for a long time. Having suffered a crushing defeat in the 2nd century BC, they rushed to the west. Their path ran through the populated areas of Central Asia and Kazakhstan. They entered into battles with the tribes inhabiting those places, dragging along the way from Mongolia to the Volga the peoples of a different ethnic group, primarily the Ugric and Iranian tribes. This mass approached Europe, no longer being ethnically homogeneous.
Tribal UnionAlans, who lived at that time on the Volga, put up a powerful resistance to the advancing force. Also a nomadic people, hardened in battles, they stopped the movement of the Huns, delaying them for two centuries. However, at the end of the 4th century, the Alans were defeated and the Huns cleared the way to Europe.
Wild warlike tribes crossed the Volga and rushed to the Don, to the habitats of the tribes of the Chernyakhov culture, causing them horror. On the way, they defeated the country of the Alans and Goths, some of which went to Ciscaucasia, and some rushed to the west with a mass of winners.
As a result of this historical event, there was a significant displacement of the population, a mixture of ethnic groups and a shift in traditional habitats. With such a change in landmarks, scientists do not undertake to formulate reliably and briefly where the Slavs came from.
Most of all, migration affected the steppe and forest-steppe regions. Presumably, the Slavs who retreated to the east peacefully assimilated the peoples of other tribes, including local Iranians. The mass of people of complex ethnic composition, fleeing from the Huns, in the 5th century came to the middle Dnieper. Scientists support this theory by the appearance in these places of a settlement called Kyiv, which means "town" in one of the Iranian dialects.
Then the Slavs crossed the Dnieper and advanced into the basin of the Desna River, which was called the Slavic name "Right". You can try to trace where and how the Slavs appeared in these places, by the names of the rivers. In the south, large rivers did not change their names, leaving the old, Iranian names. Don is simpleriver, the Dnieper is a deep river, Ross is a bright river, etc. But in the north-west of Ukraine and almost throughout Belarus, the rivers bear purely Slavic names: Berezina, Teterev, Goryn, etc. Undoubtedly, this is evidence of living in these places of the ancient Slavs. But it is very difficult to determine where the Slavs came from here, to establish the route of their movement. All assumptions are based on very controversial material.
The Huns were not interested in where the Slavs came from in these parts, and where they retreat under the onslaught of the nomads. They did not seek to destroy the Slavic tribes, their enemies were the Germans and Iranians. Taking advantage of the current situation, the Slavs, who had previously occupied a very small territory, significantly expanded their habitat. By the 5th century, the movement of the Slavs to the west continues, where they push the Germans further and further to the Elbe. At the same time, the colonization of the Balkans took place, where the local tribes of the Illyrians, Dalmatians and Thracians were assimilated quite quickly and peacefully. We can quite confidently talk about a similar movement of the Slavs in an easterly direction. This gives some idea of where the Slavs came from in Russian lands, Ukraine and Belarus.
Already a century later, with the local population of Greeks, Volohs and Albanians remaining in the Balkans, the Slavs are increasingly playing the main role in political life. Now their movement towards Byzantium was directed both from the Balkans and from the lower reaches of the Danube.
There is another opinion of a number of experts,who, when asked where the Slavs came from, briefly answer: "Nowhere. They have always lived on the East European Plain." Like other theories, this one is supported by unconvincing arguments.
And yet we will assume that the once united Proto-Slavs were divided into three groups in the 6th-8th centuries: southern, western and eastern Slavs under the onslaught of a migratory mass of people of a mixed ethnic group. Their destinies will continue to touch and influence each other, but now each branch will have its own history.
Starting from the 6th-7th centuries, there is more documentary evidence about the Proto-Slavs, and therefore more reliable information that specialists are working on. Since that time, science knows where the Eastern Slavs came from. They, leaving the Huns, settled the territory of Eastern Europe: from Ladoga to the Black Sea coast, from the Carpathian Mountains to the Volga region. Historians count the ranges of thirteen tribes in this territory. These are Vyatichi, Radimichi, Polans, Polochans, Volhynians, Ilmen Slovenes, Dregovichi, Drevlyans, Ulichi, Tivertsy, Northerners, Krivichi and Dulebs.
Where did the Eastern Slavs come from in the Russian lands, it can be seen from the settlement map, but I would like to pay attention to the specifics of the choice of settlement sites. Obviously, geographical and ethnic principles of settlement took place here.
In the V-VII centuries, the Slavs still lived in the conditions of the tribal system. All members of the community were related by blood. V. O.Klyuchevsky wrote that the tribal union rested on two pillars: on the power of the tribal foreman and the inseparability of tribal property. Important issues were decided by the people's assembly, veche.
Gradually tribal relations began to disintegrate, the family becomes the main economic unit. Neighborhood communities are being formed. The family property included a house, livestock, inventory. And meadows, water, forests and land remained the property of the community. A division into free Slavs and slaves began to take place, which became captured captives.
With the emergence of cities, armed squads appeared. There were cases that they seized power in those settlements that they were supposed to protect, and became princes. There was a merger with tribal power, as well as a stratification of the ancient Slavic society, classes were formed, the ruling elite. Power eventually became hereditary.
The main occupation of the ancient Slavs was agriculture, which eventually became more perfect. Improved tools. But agricultural labor was not the only one.
The inhabitants of the plains raised cattle and poultry. Great attention was paid to horse breeding. Horses and oxen were the main draft force.
Slavs hunted. They hunted elk, deer, and other game. There was a fur-bearing animal trade. In the warm season, the Slavs were engaged in beekeeping. Honey, wax and other products were used for food, and in addition, they were valued in exchange. Gradually, an individual family could already do without the help of the community - soprivate property was born.
Crafts developed, first necessary for doing business. Then the possibilities of artisans expanded, they moved more and more away from agricultural labor. Masters began to settle in places where it was easier to sell their work. These were settlements on trade routes.
Trade relations were of great importance in the development of ancient Slavic society. It was in the VIII-IX century that the path "from the Varangians to the Greeks" was born, on the path of which large cities arose. But he wasn't the only one. The Slavs also mastered other trade routes.
Eastern Slavs professed a pagan religion. They revered the power of nature, prayed to many Gods, made sacrifices, erected idols.
Slavs believed in brownies, goblin, mermaids. To protect themselves and their home from evil spirits, they made amulets.
Slavic holidays were also associated with nature. They celebrated the turn of the sun for the summer, the farewell to winter, the meeting of spring. Observance of traditions and rituals was considered mandatory, and some of this has survived to this day.
For example, the image of the Snow Maiden, who comes to us on winter holidays. But it was not invented by modern authors, but by our ancient ancestors. Where did the Snow Maiden come from in the pagan culture of the Slavs? From the northern regions of Russia, where in winter they built amulets from ice. A young girl melts with the arrival of heat, but other charms appear in the house until next winter.

there were meetings on every other street corner. Every plaza where there was a streetlight, people were meeting under it and talking about what to do about the external debt, I swear to God. Groups of one hundred or five hundred people. And organizing buying groceries to- gether because they could get cheaper prices, setting up barters because the cur- rency was worthless. It was the most in- spiring thing I've ever seen." Klein believes that change comes about only when social movements be- come so large and disruptive that politi- cians can no longer ignore them. This is another of her ongoing arguments with her in-laws: whether social movements can really change things. Stephen Lewis is as susceptible to their allure as the next new leftist-he drove down to Little Rock in 1957, when Orval Faubus called out the militia, to witness the civil-rights movement firsthand-but in the end he remains a politician. "Naomi's and Avi's profound skepticism is not a skepticism I share, even though they have far more evidence than I do," he says. "There was a period when people like Avi and Naomi actually thought that the social move- ments could sort of take over. But you may have a green movement which has influence on carbon tax, you may have a campaign for nuclear disarmament which lowers the temperature over the arms race, but you never have an over-all ge- stalt which can do everything from day care to foreign aid and see it as part of an over-all pattern to change the world. That has to come through politics." Both Klein and Lewis are skeptical about Barack Obama. "I've been at rallies and seen him speak, and I feel that feel- ing that one feels," Lewis says. "It is thrill- ing. And it's churlish not to allow your- self to be thrilled. We crave inspiration, and it's a bleak life to always be dissecting things. But the main feeling that Obama creates in me is fear, because I see people fooling themselves. If you actually look at his policies, what they reflect is the tri- umph of the right-wing political para- digm since Reagan, and I think he could set things back dramatically, because for young people who are getting engaged in politics for the first time, for them to be disillusioned is very, very damaging." Be- cause Klein doesn't expect much from any politician, she doesn't spend time wishing Obama were more progressive. . pII " . 1 . -., ......... - \ [ <> I I *' 0 , - - a J ^ . . "I don't want to appear too cynical, but when I first saw the 'Yes We Can' rock video that Will.I.Am made, my first re- sponse was 'Wow, finally a politician is making ads that are as good as Nikè s,' " she says. "The 'Yes We Can' slogan means whatever you want it to mean. It's very Just Do It.' When you hear it, you catch yourself thinking, Yeah! We're gonna end torture and shut down Guan- tánamo and get out of Iraq! And then you think, Wait a minute, is he really say- ing that? Hè s not really saying that, is he? He's saying we're going to send more troops to Mghanistan. He's telling regu- lar people what they want to hear, and then in the back rooms hè s making deals and signing on to the status quo. But if people don't like where Obama is they should move the center." To this end, Klein has been taking every opportunity to call for the nationalization of the oil companies. "It's the job of the left to move the center," she says. "Get out there and say some crazy stuff! And then, sud- denly, it'll seem more reasonable for pol- iticians to take riskier positions." For someone who places so much weight on social movements, though, Klein can get dyspeptic when she finds herself in the middle of one. Activists are so earnest, so dedicated, so-like her parents. "Marches depress me," she says. I Ú 'If '" l , .. , , - t "Going for a walk and chanting-I get nothing out of it." When she began par- ticipating in the anti-globalization move- ment, she understood that protests out- side trade summits were the main way that the movement was making itself heard, but they still seemed a little com- ical to her. "Is this really what we want?" she wrote in a column in the summer of 2000. "A movement of meeting stalkers, following the trade bureaucrats as if they were the Grateful Dead?" The World Social Forum in Brazil ought to have been a place where she felt at home, but there was too much chanting, and José Bové went around with bodyguards to protect him from the paparazzi, and the activists kept accusing one another of racism and classism, and the cultural in- terludes were hard to take. "A line of dancers appeared on stage, heads bowed in shame, feet shuffling," she wrote, de- scribing one. "[Then] the people on stage began to run, brandishing the tools of their empowerment: hammers, saws, bricks, axes, books, pens, computer key- boards, raised fists. In the final scene, a pregnant woman planted seeds-seeds, we were told, of another world." The only kind of protest she likes is the Yippie kind, theatrical enough to be entertaining and self-mocking enough to dilute the earnestness to a level that she "'7f "If we're going to be friends with benefits, I want health and dental. "


We would like to invite you to take part in a Day Of Action, involving leafleting, against the fascist BNP's election campaign, this Sunday, 11th April, in Stoke.
The expectation of a general election for 6th May 2010 has at last following much speculation become a reality.
March & Rally on Saturday 10th April 2010. See flyer below for more details.

The namespace feature in C++ allow us to specify a scope with a name, that is, namespace is a named scope. The namespace feature help us to reduce the problem of polluting the namespace. Namespace is defined as follows.
Here the function should return reference to variables, but not the values, then the function call will yield a reference to either a or b depending on their values.
Overloaded function appears to perform different operation depending on the kind of data sent to it. It performs one operation on one kind of data but another operation on a different kind. The reason behind using the overloaded function is because of its convenience to use the same function name for different operation.
It uses the number of arguments, and their data types, to distinguish one function from another.
We know that function save memory space but take some extra time. If the functions are short, we may put in the function directly in the line with the code in the calling program. But the trouble with repeatedly inserting the same code is that you lose the benefits of the program organization and clarity that come with using function. If the function is very short, the instructions necessary to call it may take up as much space as the instructions within the function body, so that there is not only a time penalty but a space penalty as well. The solution to this is the inline function. This kind of function is written like a normal function in the source file but complies into inline code instead of into a function. Beside of this the source file remains well organized and easy to read, since the functions are shown as a separate entity. Functions that are very short, say one or two statements are candidates to be inlined.
Here all we need is the keyword inline in the function definition.
The function can be called without specifying all its arguments. This won't work on just any function that is the function declaration must provide default values for those arguments that can be missed.
Here the function dearg( ) takes two arguments. It is called three times from main( ) program. The first time it is called with no arguments, second time with one argument and third time with two. The first and second provides default arguments, which will be used if the calling function doesn't supply them. The default argument follows an equal sign, which is placed directly after name. It is also possible to use variable name. If one argument is missing it assumed to the last argument as we show in second.
Use manipulators where seems to be useful.
Write a program using the function overloading that converts feet to inches. Use function with no argument, one argument and two arguments. Decide yourself the types of arguments. Use pass by reference in any one of the function above.
Define two namespaces: Square and Cube. In both the namespaces, define an integer variable named "num" and a function named "fun". The "fun" function in "Square" namespace, should return the square of an integer passed as an argument while the "fun" function in "Cube" namespace, should return the cube of an integer passed as an argument. In the main function, set the integer variables "num" of both the namespaces with different values. Then, compute and print the cube of the integer variable "num" of the "Square" namespace using the "fun" function of the "Cube" namespace and the square of the integer variable "num" of the "Cube" namespace using the "fun" function of the "Square" namespace.
Write a function that passes two temperatures by reference and sets the larger of the two numbers to 100 by using return by reference.
Assume that employee will have to pay 10 percent income tax to the government. Ask user to enter the employee salary. Use inline function to display the net payment to the employee by the company.
Make function that takes two arguments; one salary and other increment. Use proper default argument.
