The Students have had the upper hand over the Buccaneers but will not have the fondest memories of their last visit to Orlando Stadium.
Fresh off slaying one Soweto giant, Bidvest Wits will be in search of another big scalp when they return to take on Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Clever Boys have set an early marker and are the pace-setters at this stage of the PSL season with six points and as many goals in their two fixtures so far. This is thanks to a 3-0 win at home to Free State Stars which was followed by the 3-1 victory at FNB Stadium against Kaizer Chiefs.
They now set their sights firmly in the direction of Amakhosi's fiercest rivals, who will be reeling after disappointment in cup competition after they fell short against Supersport United in the MTN8 quarterfinals on Saturday.
Unlike their free-scoring opponents, the Buccaneers have so far registered just two league goals this season – one from the penalty spot and the other in the form of an own goal – and will have to be on their attacking best against the resurgent 2016/17 PSL champions.
Bidvest Wits will not have the fondest memories of their last visit to Orlando Stadium after they fell to a 4-0 defeat in a game that was played behind closed doors in April.
That particular game saw the Clever Boys' six-match winning streak over Orlando Pirates come to an end, as the Buccaneers had not registered a win over Gavin Hunt's men since September 2014.

Oklahomans are no strangers to Mother Nature's whims. From tornadoes and floods to wildfires and winter storms, the state sees more than its share of natural hazards. But prior to 2009, "terra firma" in Oklahoma meant just that—earthquakes rarely shook the state.
Then, after decades of seismic quiet where the state averaged less than two quakes of magnitude 3 or greater a year, Oklahoma suddenly saw a sharp uptick, to 20 such quakes in 2009. By 2013 there were 109 such quakes. Since then, the numbers have soared, reaching 903 in 2015 before dipping last year to 623. In the process, Oklahoma has surpassed California to become the most seismically active of the lower 48 U.S. states.
In 2011, a magnitude 5.7 quake and two related magnitude 5.0 quakes struck near the Oklahoma town of Prague, causing damage and injuries. Then last Sept. 3, a magnitude 5.8 quake struck a few miles northwest of the city of Pawnee, population 2,200. That quake, which occurred on a previously unmapped fault, was the strongest ever measured by instruments in Oklahoma. It shook a large area of north-central Oklahoma and was felt throughout the Midwest and as far away as Phoenix and Pittsburgh.
Even before NASA studied the Pawnee earthquake, studies published since late last year by the United States Geological Survey and other institutions suggested that the earthquake was human-induced due to increases in wastewater injection related to petroleum operations. Injection wells place fluids underground into porous geologic formations, which scientsts believe can sometimes enter buried faults that are ready to slip.
To shed additional light on the source of the Pawnee quake, a team led by geophysicist Eric Fielding of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, used enhanced seismic data and satellite image analysis to more accurately estimate the location and extent of the fault responsible for the quake, its hypocenter (the point below Earth's surface where the quake began) and its aftershocks, and to measure how the fault moved. Results of their study were published recently in Seismological Research Letters.
To help pinpoint which fault ruptured and where the main quake started, Fielding's team updated the locations of earthquakes published in an Oklahoma Geological Survey catalog of aftershocks. The catalog included nearly 2,200 earthquakes of greater than magnitude 1.0 within about 31 miles (50 kilometers) of the Sept. 3 main shock.
Around Pawnee, the main faults are oriented in a northeast or north direction. But most of the aftershocks to the Sept. 3 quake occurred along a line trending east-southeast from the epicenter. As reported in earlier studies and confirmed by Fielding's team, this told scientists the main shock didn't occur on a previously mapped fault, but on a new fault called the Sooner Lake Fault.
To determine which parts of the fault slipped in the earthquake, Fielding's team analyzed interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B satellites operated by the European Space Agency and the McDonald, Dettweiler and Associates Ltd RADARSAT-2 satellite. The team compared InSAR data from multiple satellite overpasses before and after the main shock to create images of ground deformation known as interferograms. The Pawnee earthquake is the first Oklahoma earthquake to be observed using radar satellite data.
"Radar satellites allow us to study details of earthquakes on faults that were not previously mapped and don't reach the surface," Fielding said. "This allows us to learn more about the processes that cause earthquakes."
Interferograms created by the team from the InSAR data showed the ground deformed in a pattern consistent with slip along an east-to-southeast trending fault. The interferograms also showed the quake did not rupture Earth's surface, consistent with field reports.
Fielding's team next input the aftershock and InSAR data into a computer to create models of the fault's likely location and of which parts of the fault slipped during the quake.
Their preferred model of the Sooner Lake Fault calculates that it dips vertically and is 11 miles (18 kilometers) long and 9 miles (15 kilometers) wide. The model also calculates that the movement on the fault took place deeper than 1.4 miles (2.3 kilometers) beneath the surface, and that the parts that moved the most were located deeper than 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers). These findings are consistent with a main fault rupture taking place in crystalline basement rock beneath more shallow sedimentary rock layers.
The team's results show the main shock began at a depth of about 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) below the surface and moved downward to a depth of at least 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) and perhaps as much as 8.7 miles (14 kilometers), into the basement rocks below the sedimentary layer. This downward rupture direction is unusual for natural earthquakes. The fault slipped horizontally about 2 feet (60 centimeters) at a depth of 7.5 miles (12 kilometers).
"Our results showing a downward fault rupture are consistent with a human-induced earthquake resulting from wastewater injection, rather than a naturally caused quake," said Fielding.
Fielding said the research may help better manage induced seismicity. "By understanding how and where earthquakes are induced by wastewater injection, we may be able to mitigate their risk by identifying zones that should be avoided for injection," he said.
The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) mission, planned for launch in 2021, may help scientists identify faults responsible for earthquakes and learn more about their causes, both natural and human-induced. It will provide frequent coverage of all land areas twice every 12 days.
Interestingly other states that have lots of wastewater injection wells aren't seeing an increase in magnitude 3+ earthquakes, like Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Texas, Kansas and California. Why is that?
Nevada and Wyoming have also experienced a significant increase in earthquakes in recent years but as far as I know they aren't blamed on wastewater injection. Could it be that we simply don't know that much about why seismic activity increases and decreases? That's my bet.
We've just assumed the Midwest isn't prone to earthquakes because they're rare, but they've had major earthquakes in the fairly recent past, like the devastating series of magnitude 7.5 earthquakes clustered around New Madrid, Missouri in 1811 and 1812.
Vicious environmentalists will do anything to attack something that has at least partially freed the U.S. from dependence on foreign energy and has done so at a cost FAR below that of crappy solar and wind energy. Since most come from the West coast, lets hope California falls into the Pacific from the next big natural earthquake.
2.7 & 4.0 quakes near Youngstown OH likely cause by wastewater injection.

Arbaaz Khan found love in Romanian beauty?
PakistanToday
One of the most shocking splits last year was of B-Town A-listers Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan. The couple announced separation after 17 years of marriage.
With the former lovers often being spotted together despite calling it quits, speculation regarding their relationship status has been all the rage amongst fans. Some suggested that the ex-couple might reconcile.
However, in an exclusive interview with DNA Arbaaz has made some shocking revelations about his relationship status, that he is no longer single!
When asked if he is in a relationship with one of the ladies often seen with him on his Instagram posts, Arbaaz clarified that he's in a relationship with someone else than his rumoured love interest, Yellow. "Which one?" Arbaaz candidly asked, "If you are talking about Yellow, she is just a friend. Somebody who I meet when I go to Goa. She owns a restaurant."
However, there's another Romanian girl who is often clicked with Arbaaz, and the Daraar actor revealed that her name is Alexandria. "That's my friend. I am dating, yes. But we are not… As of now, there is still a long way to go." Arbaaz said.
Discussing rumours regarding him getting back together with Malaika, Arbaaz said, "I feel, if we had to get more time, we would have got back by now. The fact that we haven't, means it is not meant to be. I wouldn't want to speak for her. I kept my option open despite us parting ways, and I gave it a little time, whether it was a year or two years before I moved on in certain ways."
He further added, "So I guess if that was to happen it would have happened in the first six months, or one year. It didn't and it's been almost three years now… "
The Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya star also talked about his equation with his former wife, saying, "You have to just let go, what you do? It is not easy. We are on good terms. For a while, I wanted her to stay away from me. When you live together and are not together and yet you are together in so many ways, it gets complicated."
Malaika and Arbaaz tied the knot in 1998 after four years of dating.
On the work front, Arbaaz is all set to produce the third installment of the Dabangg franchise.

Houghton Library holds the largest collection anywhere of original works by the English author and artist Edward Lear (1812-1888). For the past two years the library has been engaged in a project to digitize all this material. The first phase of the endeavor included Lear's natural history drawings, which were also the subject of an exhibition, "The Natural History of Edward Lear," held at the library in 2012, and documented in Harvard Library Bulletin, Volume 22, Numbers 2-3 . The second phase, recently completed, involved the library's large collection of Lear's landscape drawings. From the late 1830s until the 1870s Lear travelled widely in the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and in India. Everywhere he went, he made rapid sketches of the landscape, drawings he kept in his studio as sources for more finished watercolors or oil paintings. Although estimates of the possible number of these preliminary drawings have ranged as high as 10,000, the only substantial portion of the collection to have survived intact is a group of some 3,530 drawings that was owned by Lear's friend and patron, Lord Northbrook. When this collection, preserved in two wooden storage cabinets made for Lear himself, came on the market in the 1930s, it was purchased by W.B.O. Field, a major donor to the Harvard Library. In 1942 Field gave it (and many other works by Lear) to Houghton Library, where his collection joined a smaller group of Lear's works assembled by Philip Hofer, founder and curator of the Department of Printing and Graphic Arts.
The process of making the landscape drawings generally available began in the 1990s, with the creation of a detailed finding aid compiled by Nancy Finlay, then Assistant Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts. This document is now online, and for each drawing the image is now linked to the detailed description of it in the finding aid. Completion of this project required over a year's work by Harvard College Library Imaging Services, and by Caroline Duroselle-Melish, Assistant Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts, Susan Pyzynski, Associate Librarian of Houghton Library for Technical Services, and Emilie Hardman of Houghton Library's Public Services division. Within the next months the library will complete the digitization of its entire Edward Lear collection by imaging its smaller collection of finished watercolors, albums of nonsense verse, and important publications by Lear—Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae or Parrots, Gleanings from the Menagerie and Aviary at Knowsley Hall, and his musical settings of poems by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
This post is part of a series called "What's New." Throughout the year, Houghton staff members will be blogging about new acquisitions and newly digitized materials. All posts associated with this series may be viewed by clicking on the What'sNew tag.

Portuguese is among the eleven foreign languages most widely spoken in the U.S. (Census, 2010). Yet, very few studies have explored code-switching and lexical borrowing (two common contact-induced phenomena in bilingual communities) among Portuguese/English bilinguals in the U.S. The Brazilian community in Chicagoland has a unique characteristic: members are not concentrated in a well-defined area and thus rely on social networks and on the existence of Brazil-related institutions to maintain their language and culture. This unique situation seemed ideal to investigate the findings of Poplack (1980). Unlike Chicagoland Brazilians, Poplack's Puerto-Ricans lived in the same block in New York City and frequently interacted with other community members. Results found a correlation between levels of bilingual ability and code-switching types, in which fluent bilinguals showed higher rates of intrasentenial code-switching and non-fluent ones code-switched more extra-sententially. There has been much debate in the field over the critical period hypothesis (Penfield and Roberts, 1959) and whether it is age of L2 onset or length of L2 exposure that has an effect on levels of bilingual proficiency. Assuming that both factors are predictors of bilingual ability, this study investigated which of them possibly correlated with code-switching types and lexical borrowing types. Predictions for code-switching were made based on Poplack, i.e., the earlier speakers were first exposed to English, the greater preference for intrasentential code-switching; the later speakers were first exposed to English, the greater preference for extra-sentential type. In addition, the longer speakers were exposed to English, the higher their intrasentential rates, and the less exposure, the higher the extra-sentential rates. No predictions were made for lexical borrowing types. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the 893-minute corpus, obtained via sociolinguistic interviews with twenty adult informants, were conducted. Results showed that the predictions for code-switching were unfulfilled. However, a correlation was found between age of L2 onset and intersentential code-switching, and also between length of L2 exposure and extra-sentential type, confirming that each bilingual community is unique not only in patterns of bilingual behavior, but also regarding their correlating factors. No correlations were found for lexical borrowing types.


I commend a recent letter for its review of our critical issue of race, group allegiance, and awareness of the effects of time surrounding the Civil War.
Yet, I must object to the letter's failure to include other aspects of those socio-cultural conditions.
Specifically, it should be emphasized that the concept of rebellion by the states was seen at the time from a perspective close to our rebellion from England.
Also, the cause of the Civil War has not been settled by scholars, who offer multiple explanations for it, one of which is slavery, even as there are other legitimate possibilities.
I would argue that the creation of groups with different degrees of "worth" is the critical factor influencing our world today, and I commend and appreciate the letter for calling it to our attention. Indeed, the letter identifies well the logical and ethical responsibilities of the current Christian churches. Well done.

Anterior composite restorations had good clinical performance
Derek Richards
Although composite resin restorations are increasingly being placed in posterior teeth because of their superior aesthetic appearance, they have been used for the repair and restoration of anterior teeth for decades.
The aim of this review was to assess the longevity of anterior composite restorations.
Searches were conducted in the Medline/PubMed, SciVerse Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases without restriction of date or language. Longitudinal prospective or retrospective clinical trials that evaluated the clinical survival of direct restorations in anterior permanent teeth placed with visible light-cured composite resin were considered. Studies were required to have a minimum follow up of 3 years.
Two reviewers independently screened the studies and abstracted data. There was a high degree of heterogeneity amongst the studies regarding study design, methods, and outcomes. Meta-analysis was not conducted but annual failure rates (AFRs) were calculated for each study.
17 studies evaluating a total of 1821 restorations were included.
Follow up periods ranged from 3-17 years.
10 studies considered class III and IV restorations, 5 aesthetic restorations and 2 studies considered tooth wear restoration.
Only 7 studies were restricted to the evaluation of anterior direct restorations.
A modified version of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria was the criteria most often used to evaluate restorations (12 studies).
Total overall failure rate was 24.1% (439 restorations).
Individual study AFR varied from 0 to 4.1% and survival rates varied from 53.4% to 100%.
The authors concluded:
Findings of the present review generally indicate a good clinical performance in the long-term (follow-up 3+ years) for anterior composite resin restorations, with annual failure rates varying from 0 to 4.1%. It seems that failure behavior in anterior restorations is different from posterior teeth, with less secondary caries present and more restorations being replaced for other reasons such as aesthetic appearance. However, there is still room for well-designed clinical trials to evaluate the longevity of anterior composite restorations and investigate the specific factors associated with failure.
While the authors have searched a wide range of databases they chose to include both pro- and retrospective studies. Unfortunately, although the majority were reported to be prospective, it is not clear how many of them were. In addition there is not indication that the quality of the studies were assessed. The authors indicate that the most reported cause of restoration failure in the included studies was fracture of the tooth or restoration.
However, they highlight that in all studies the restoration was the unit of analysis and as patients may have more than one restoration patient factors could influence the findings. While this can be taken into account by designing the studies to account for this clustering effect this is rarely undertaken. In addition while the USPHS criteria were used for a majority of the included studies modified versions were often used which could impact upon comparability. The authors also note that most of the studies were conducted in a secondary care environment so the generalisability of the findings to routine practice needs to be considered.

Inscryption - "An inky black card-based odyssey"
Lying Cat posted a topic in Discussion
So, we've got Inscryption coming up on 2021, and it looks absolutely amazing. Here's the trailer! I'm going to be completely honest with you and admit that I absolutely love these sorts of thing, and the visual presentation is so far up my street it's got itself lodged in my colon. If anyone is interested in a short sneak peak of the game, the prototype Sacrifices Must Be Made is available to download here, and I would absolutely recommend giving it a go. It's a 20mb download, and isn't particularly long, giving you a single opponent to play against. The game has a singularly disturbing feel to it, and for something in such a primitive state which was slapped together in it's entirely in 48 hours, the actual card game is extremely good. So, I'm super proper hyped about this one. edit Just to add a bit more about the game, since that's what people will want to read about, I'm going to talk about the mechanisms below - but about the situation that you find yourself in, which will be sort of revealed in the Prototype. This isn't a traditional card game like Magic: the Gathering where two people with two equal decks face off against one another - it's a specifically designed single player game with card mechanics. The most important thing to grasp is that you'll know what your opponent is going to play and where a turn ahead of where it happens, and the core of the game is navigating that puzzle. There's no economy in the game - all cards have a number of blood marks between zero and theoretically four. In order to play a card, you must sacrifice a number of cards you already have in play to the value of the blood marks of the card you want to play. All cards are considered equal for these purposes - the only exception to the rule is the Cat who can be "sacrificed" without leaving play, making it a permanent resource as long as it's in play - but having no offensive capability, it's doomed to die if something is opposing it. The upshot of all this is that you need to play out zero blood mark animals in order to be able to afford anything else, but they're universally terrible and will due at the weapons or claws of almost anything else in the game, so unless you're desperate you need to use them or lose them, or be prepared to throw them away in a chump-block. You win by dealing damage to your opponent, and if your cards are opposed by enemy cards then you do damage to those instead. The number of points you need to win is... variable, and the scores are placed on a weighing scale and when your opponents scale touches the table they lose. The consequence to this is that if you're scoring points off one another about evenly, nobody is making any progress towards victory. Your opponent may offer you a mechanism to "right the scales" if you're losing badly by... passing you a knife. But think carefully before you pick that fucker up. It's a desperate measure, trust me. At the end of each round you get to pick a new card up (as it pretty traditional in these games), but obviously in the prototype deck building is exceptionally limited and you only get two choices overall - but those choices did make a difference to how I played the game for sure.

This is on PC and Xbox now (with a free 2 hr trial on Xbox). It's a cross between some other games maybe - turn based actions in a small area, with a series of cards and limited costs. The enemy take their turn, load up actions, then you move around. Good soundtrack too, I'd recommend the trial.
A Game of Thrones Card Game: Second Edition
BlackHoodedCrow posted a topic in Gaming Unplugged
Whilst I saw a few people had commented that they own and are playing this game in the 'What Are You Playing?' thread, I noticed there wasn't a dedicated thread for this game; A Game of Thrones Card Game (Second Edition) [BGG Link] I got into the game quite late, personally - mid 2019. I taught myself to play, and the wife - and we play together sometimes but I've never really found too many more people who are interested in playing it. So, hopefully I can find some fellow RLLMUK'ers to talk about it with here. There's lots of resources online to help with the game, including agot.cards for news and podcasts, thronesdb.com for deckbuilding, and you can also play the game online at theironthrone.net - but of course, using the real physical card game is far more rewarding.

Ok, I think there's probably enough of us at least having a go at this now and I know someone in the general thread had posed the idea of splitting it off. Just a thread to discuss the game and complain about the lack of booster packs Anyone new to it that wants to know more, here's a good 'how to play' vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gPu9pp2WOM&t=2s


Because of the busy nature of the next few weeks awards-wise, here are my current Oscar predictions, subject to minor revisions before nominations are announced on January 25th.
The rundown: This strikes me as a tight race between six contenders. In a sense, "Toy Story 3" is at a disadvantage as an animated film, and the surprise Golden Globe nomination for "127 Hours" (plus WGA nod) is a big boost for that film, though not a guarantee by any means, as evidenced by the snub of Globe-winning screenplay "About Schmidt" in 2002. "True Grit" may be vulnerable, though if the Coen brothers are going to get in anywhere, writing is usually their best bet. I've seen "How to Train Your Dragon" listed as a contender, and I don't really see why that is unless people really did love the film as much as it seems. This isn't an overly exciting race, unless shocking WGA nominee "I Love You Phillip Morris" makes a splash here too.
Forecasted winner: There's no way this won't be The Social Network.

IHS Acquires DisplaySearch and Solarbuzz
IHS Inc., a global source of critical information and insight, announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the DisplaySearch and Solarbuzz businesses of The NPD Group, Inc., a market research company. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed two weeks.
DisplaySearch, founded in 1996, has quickly become a strong player in conducting Asia-based primary research in display technology. It provides market forecasting services, advisory solutions and events to display value chain players around the world. Solarbuzz offers market intelligence, research and forecasting for the solar industry, with a focus on the photovoltaic supply chain.
Together, these two businesses – which will be integrated into the IHS Technology business line – will position IHS as a premier global provider of displays research and as a top provider of solar market information, said Scott Key, president and chief executive officer of IHS.
"DisplaySearch will help give IHS customers a view of the end-to-end display supply chain, from chemicals to semiconductors to displays, and then on through TVs, phones and mobile devices, to operator platforms and content," Key said. "This acquisition will provide IHS with solid new experience in the displays category and will bolster our capabilities for displays research and analytics in the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan." DisplaySearch will complement other IHS acquisitions of technology industry-related companies in recent years.
"Also, with Solarbuzz, IHS will develop new offerings in the fast-growing solar market," Key said. "Solarbuzz will help IHS customers tap into the photovoltaic industry's premier source for detailed strategic and tactical planning information."
"Sale of the businesses is a strategic decision for NPD, allowing us to focus on global expansion of our retail, distributor and consumer tracking services and on introducing new solutions," said Tod Johnson, chairman and chief executive officer of The NPD Group. "We are committed to continued innovation in our core businesses, and as analyst services focused on the supply chain, DisplaySearch and Solarbuzz are less synergistic with our portfolio and less compatible with our long-range vision."
The DisplaySearch and Solarbuzz teams currently total nearly 70 professionals in six office locations: Austin, TX; Santa Clara, CA; Seoul; Shanghai; Taipei; and Tokyo. More than half of these experts are based in Asia, many in the Greater China market. A small number of colleagues are also based in the United Kingdom.


Every session is an entirely different experience. Usually we start with a warm up and a moving meditation listening to a variety of different kinds of music, from rock, jazz, ethnic, electronic, hip hop and blues to classical music and opera (check out some playlists here). Sometimes we move in silence or with live music. There are no steps to follow and no rules to stick to. We explore, listen to our body and find our own dance. So all you need to do is move in whatever way feels right in the moment, following your body's rhythm. Enjoy yourself!
First off, we activate and exercise the body since we move constantly. Then, aside from the pure joy of movement and the catalytic impact of the music, sometimes we end up doing some soul searching, which comes in a natural, organic way, since everything surfaces through the body. By understanding more about ourselves, we then have a choice to leave behind whatever no longer serves us: feelings, thoughts, beliefs, behaviours. At the end of the class we might often feel elated, our body vibrant, our mind calm, more centered and with a greater sense of connection to ourselves and others. After all, research has shown the multiple benefits of movement to human beings. You can also check out what other people have said about these classes.
No experience in either movement or meditation is required. Everyone is welcome. If you have any questions at all, please get in touch!
Dress in comfortable clothing and bring some water. If it's your first time, please arrive a few minutes earlier so that we get to know each other. We move barefoot.

Q: identity conditional "===" , performance, and conversion I've always came away from stackoverflow answers and any reading I've done that "===" is superior to "==" because uses a more strict comparison, and you do not waste resources converting value types in order to check for a match.
I may be coming at this with the wrong assumption, so I assume part of this question is, "is my assumption true?"
Secondly,
I'm dealing specifically with a situation where I'm getting data from a database in the form of a string "100".
The code I am comparing is this...
    if ($this->the_user->group == 100) //admin
    {
        Response::redirect('admin/home');
    }
    else   // other
    {
        Response::redirect('user/home');
    }

vs.
    if ( (int) $this->the_user->group === 100) //admin
    {
        Response::redirect('admin/home');
    }
    else   // other
    {
        Response::redirect('user/home');
    }

or even
    if (intval($this->the_user->group) === 100) //admin
    {
        Response::redirect('admin/home');
    }
    else   // other
    {
        Response::redirect('user/home');
    }

is any integrity (or performance) gained by manually casting or converting simply so you can use the identity ('===') comparison?

A: There is a performance difference between == and === - latter will be even twice as fast, see Equal vs identical comparison operator.
The difference, however is too small to be bothered with - unless the code is executed millions of times.

A: That's a really tiny optimization you're doing there. Personally, I don't think it's really worth it.
Any boost you gain from not casting the value when using === is lost when you explicitly cast the value. In your case, since the type is not important to you, you should just do == and be done with it.
My recommendation would be to keep === for when you need to check type as well - e.g. 0 evaluating to false and so on.

A: Any performance gains will be microscopically small, unless you're performing literally billions and trillions of these comparisons for days/months/years on-end. The strict comparison does have its uses, but it also is somewhat of anomally in PHP. PHP's a weakly typed language, and (usually) does the right thing for auto-converting/casting values to be the right thing. Most times, it's not necessary to do a strict comparison, as PHP will do the right thing.
But there are cases, such as when using strpos, where the auto-conversion will fail. strpos will return '0' if the needle you're searching is right at the start of the haystack, which would get treated as FALSE, which is wrong. The only way to handle this is via the strict comparison.

A: PHP has some WTF loose comparisons that return TRUE like:
array() == NULL

0 == 'Non-numeric string'

Always use strict comparison between a variable and a string
$var === 'string'

A: In your particular case == is the better option. As you (as can be seen in your code) have probably already found out many database functions will always return strings, even if you fetch an integer. So type strict comparison really only bloats your code.
Furthermore you are adding a potential (let's call it theoretic) security risk. E.g. (int) '100AB2' would yield 100. In your case this probably can't happen, but in others it may.
So: Don't overuse strict comparison, it's not always good. You mainly need it only in ambiguous cases, like the return value of strpos.

Abstract:Civil construction causes many environmental impacts, mainly with regard to the widespread use of non-renewable inputs, high energy consumption and major waste production. In the international market there are various systems for assessing the sustainability of buildings, most of which are conceived by the so-called developed countries. Analysis of the origin of such systems gives an idea of the perceived stronger emphasis on environmental aspects. In Brazil special emphasis is on the AQUA regulation, the first tool developed in the country to assess sustainability of buildings. Inspired by the French HQE system, it was launched on April 3, 2008, by Vanzolini Foundation and was the first certification seal of sustainable constructions adapted to the Brazilian reality. This paper present the research of case studies assessed the environmental impact of construction sites using the Brazilian AQUA regulation. The research method included case studies in four companies of the construction industry, two located in the city of Recife and the other two in the city of São Paulo in Brazil, in order to verify the actions taken to improve the sustainability of the construction sites, from which it was possible to describe the key elements needed for establishing the AQUA regulation. Companies based in Recife responded positively to only 59 of 114 questions about taking action for sustainability in construction sites, representing 52% positive answers, while São Paulo companies answered positively to 94 questions, or 83% of positive answers. It is therefore expected to contribute to achieving a construction site with less impact on the environment, according to the scope of a Brazilian regulation with emphasis on how much we have to advance in terms of sustainability.
Keywords: Civil construction, sustainability, aqua regulation, construction sites, Brazil.

Abstract:This research intends to know regional physic characteristic such as rainfall, land use, soil type and regional topography in the frame work for development of hydrograph model experimental based on regional characteristic; hydrograph pattern for various regional factor; synthetic unit hydrograph model applies catchment area parameter; Information of model validity when it is applied in others catchment area. This research in the form of experimental study implemented in the laboratory by using rainfall simulator as a simulation rain. Modelling process is prepared by statistic with regression method. The research is implemented toward a physic factor of the catchment area like rainfall, land use, soil type, large of catchment area (A), the length of the main river (L) river mean slope (S) believed that has effect to hydrograph shape. The result of this study shows that result of the test for cover land, stone, earth, grass, and the average (combination of stone, earth, grass) characterize shape of catchment area tendeng to stretch a long a length, having rising characteristic is faster than recession line (hydrograph rising line < hydrograph recession line). The result of adjustment produces hydrograph parameter value (a*) = 1 - 2,5 whereas for value tg is modified from the orginal formulation tg = 0,21 L^(0,7) becomes tg* = (1/(0,21 vL))*ß * tg . After model constant adjustment be done, the result is more accurate than their measurement unit hydrograph, indicated by value of coefficient of efficiency (CE) more than 0,90 shows that adjustment of model HSS has a good approximation accurateness level, and it is supported by the test parameter value of EV, AEQp, EQp and ETp which have approached or equals to 0 (zero). The result of model validity with measurement data of sub catchment area of Bantimurung has produces good performance. Value of CE for other tested model = 1 (one), likewise for other test parameter so that result in the most satisfication unit hydrograph shape estimation. From this condition indicates that hydrograph of empiric synthetic unit (HSE) have the same shape with the measurement unit hydrograph.
Keywords: Characteristic of Catchment area, synthetic unit hydrograph physic model.
Abstract:One of the simple and most practical equations that is used in hydrologic and hydraulic routing, is the Diffusion Wave equation. Considering the fact that this equation has an analytical solution only in a specific condition, using numerical methods for solving it has been common and finding a good numerical method for solving this equation, has been the focus of many researchers. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is one of the numerical methods that because of its stability . Finite difference method (FDM) is the most practical method that is used in solving partial differential equations . It is shown that use of the (DQM), with (FDM), yields a good convergence of results. The results have been compared with numerical schemes available in literature and it shows good agreement with them. In this research, we have used the features of both methods for solving Diffusion wave equations. This research shows that the DQ method is not very sensitive when it comes to choosing a test function. But when it comes to distribution of grid points, the cosine distribution gives a much better result than a uniform distribution. In general the coupled DQM and FDM method gives an accurate result in solving the diffusion wave equation, even with few grid points and the numerical model prepared is very stable. Results shows that the normal error are 1.3084 , 1.259489 and 0. 96009498 for McCormack , DQ and coupled (DQ) with (FD) methods , respectively , it is clear that using coupled (DQ) with (FD) method is providing 21.7 % decreased in normal error .

Abstract:In this work it is presented a simple method for Portland cement concrete dosing procedure. It is based on particle packing first principles together with a concise way of treating separately the needs for admixture water for each individual concrete constituent (coarse, medium and fine aggregates and the cement), as well as to the void content. The procedure is also supported by a specific mixing sequence of the raw materials. The verification of the model efficiency, was made by comparing the strength development at various ages of concrete specimens produced by means of the new dosing procedure, with that presented by conventional portland cement concrete specified for 35MPa ? 5,076 psi of compressive strength, using the Brazilian Portland Cement Association (ABCP) method. After 28 days, the new dosing method provided a concrete with average compressive strength value of 54MPa ? 7,832 psi. Conversely the one produced under ABCP method reached an average compressive strength of 43MPa ? 6,236 psi at the same age, containing however 30% higher cement content.

Scientists capture detailed snapshots of mouse brain cells nibbling on neurons: 3D structures of cells and connections reveal new role for an understudied brain cell
JoAnn Buchanan, Ph.D., was deep into the data. One click at a time, she scanned through the branching, twisting 3D shapes of mouse brain cells on her computer screen. And then Buchanan, a scientist at the Allen Institute, saw something weird: a kind of brain cell she wasn't familiar with.
"They're just such beautiful cells, they're so beautiful. And I just became obsessed," Buchanan said. These brain cells, smaller than neurons but just as complex, are known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells, or OPCs for short. "I saw something in them which had never been seen before," Buchanan said.
She doesn't mean that metaphorically. She literally saw something inside this OPC that nobody else had spotted — machinery that is able to digest parts of other cells.
The OPCs, it turned out, were biting off and swallowing tiny bits of neighboring neurons. It sounds ghoulish, but this is a normal process in the brain. It's called synaptic pruning and it happens mainly during our brains' early development. As neurons form new connections — also called synapses — and lose old ones, other cells in the brain clean up and dispose of the physical machinery from the unwanted connections.
Buchanan and her colleagues published an article describing this new neuron-nibbling role for OPCs in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Previously, this synapse-junk hauling was thought to be the purview of microglia, a kind of immune cell specialized for the brain. Microglia are known as the brain's garbage disposal system — so famous for this task that when Buchanan first discussed her findings with others in the field, some neuroscientists couldn't believe that OPCs could prune neurons too.
This cellular eating is known as phagocytosis — from the ancient Greek word phagein, which means to consume or devour. Cells that carry out the devouring function are dubbed phagocytes.

José Celestino (Bruno) Mutis y Bo(s)sio (* 6. April 1732 in Cádiz; † 11. September 1808 in Bogotá) war ein spanischer Botaniker und Mathematiker. Sein offizielles botanisches Autorenkürzel lautet "". Einer seiner Neffen in Kolumbien, Sinforoso Mutis Consuegra (1773–1822), wurde ebenfalls Botaniker.

Leben und Wirken
José Mutis studiert in Cádiz Medizin und Chirurgie am Colegio de Cirugía mit zusätzlichen Kursen in Physik sowie Botanik. Das medizinische Examen legte er am 2. Mai 1755 an der Universität Sevilla ab. Am 5. Juli 1757 erhielt er den Doktorgrad der Medizin.

Von 1757 bis 1760 hielt er Vorlesungen über Anatomie in Madrid und unternahm botanische Studien mit Unterstützung des Botanischen Gartens der Migas Calientes de Madrid sowie weitere Studien der Astronomie und der Mathematik.

Nach drei Jahren entschied er sich, als Arzt an der Amerikaexpedition des Pedro Messía de la Cerda teilzunehmen. De la Cerda erreichte im Februar 1761 Santa Fe de Bogotá. Im März 1760 hatte ihn König Karl III. zum Vizekönig von Neugranada ernannt, Pedro Messía begleitete ihn nach Südamerika, er erreichte Cartagena im Oktober. Beginnend mit seiner Ankunft in Santa Fe de Bogotá am 24. Februar 1761 führte er ein kommentiertes Forschungstagebuch über seine Beobachtungen.

Im Jahr 1763 begann Mutis mit umfangreichen Studien der Flora und Fauna Südamerikas, die insgesamt über 20 Jahre dauerten. Insgesamt waren darunter drei große botanische Expeditionen.

Mutis korrespondierte mit spanischen und anderen europäischen Wissenschaftlern, insbesondere mit Carl von Linné.

Im März 1762, während er eine Einführungsvorlesung in die Mathematik am Colegio de Rosario hielt, erklärte er die Grundlagen des Kopernikanischen Weltsystems und moderne experimentelle Methoden in den Wissenschaften, worüber er in Konflikt mit der Kirche geriet. Im Jahre 1774 verteidigte er vor der Heiligen Inquisition die moderne Wissenschaft, das Kopernikanische Weltsystem und die mathematische Naturphilophie.

Alexander von Humboldt besuchte Mutis im Juli des Jahres 1801 in Santa Fe de Bogotá während seiner Amerikaexpedition.

Mutis verstarb im Alter von 76 Jahren an Lungenentzündung. Zu seinen Ehren ist heute der Botanische Garten von Bogotá nach ihm benannt.

Taxonomische Ehrung
Ihm zu Ehren wurden die Gattungen Mutisia  und Flosmutisia  aus der Pflanzenfamilie der Korbblütler (Asteraceae) benannt.

Yemen: UN, partners seek $2.1 billion to stave off famine in 2017
by UN News February 8, 2017

Feb. 8, 2017 – The United Nations and humanitarian partners today launched an international appeal for $2.1 billion to provide life-saving assistance to 12 million people in Yemen in 2017 – the largest-ever humanitarian response plan for the war-torn country.
"Two years of war have devastated Yemen… Without international support, they may face the threat of famine in the course of 2017 and I urge donors to sustain and increase their support to our collective response," said UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O'Brien in a press release on the launch of the Humanitarian Response Plan for Yemen in Geneva.
"Humanitarian partners are ready to respond. But they need timely, unimpeded access, and adequate resources, to meet the humanitarian needs wherever they arise," said Mr. O'Brien, who is also the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs.
He noted that since March 2015, violent conflict and disregard by all parties to the conflict for their responsibility to protect civilians have created a vast protection crisis in Yemen and millions of people face threats to their safety and basic human rights every day. In addition, deliberate war tactics are accelerating the collapse of key institutions and the economy, thereby exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities.
This has left an alarming 18.8 million people – more than two thirds of the population – in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which also estimates that 10.3 million people are acutely affected and nearly 3.3 million people – including 2.1 million children – are acutely malnourished.
"We remain committed to the principle that our plans must be grounded both in evidence and actual capacity, and I ask donors today to help Yemen in its moment of great need," said the Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick.
In 2016, 120 national and international partners including UN agencies and non-governmental organisations working out of humanitarian hubs in Aden, Al Hudaydah, Ibb, Sana'a, and Sa'ada assisted more than 5.6 million people with direct humanitarian aid.

Q: WCF - How to hold on to the Channel/Proxy between Begin and End call I'm attempting to use the ChannelFactory to call an asynchronous service.
The bit I'm unsure of is how to best hold on to the reference to the channel - between the call to BeginSave and then EndSave (which is in the callback method).
I'm currently doing this by assigning it to an instance variable, but this doesn't seem ideal.  I only want the channel to exist for the lifetime of the call (which I think is best practice i.e. Open, use it, close it).  I also want to make sure I'm closing the correct channel, there could be situations where there's more than one in existence.
Any examples on how best to do this would be great.
Here's my code:
public partial class MyForm : Form
{

    ICompanyService m_Channel;

    public MyForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

    // ChannelProvider is a class I've created which returns a channel created by the ChannelFactory
        ChannelProvider<ICompanyService> channelProvider = new ChannelProvider<ICompanyService>();
        m_Channel = channelProvider.GetChannel();
    }

    private void OnSaveButtonClickAsync(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Company company = new Company();
        company.BranchId = "A1";
        company.CompanyName = "A1 LTD";

        m_Channel.BeginSave(
            company,
            new AsyncCallback(OnSaveCallback),
            null);

        StatusLabel.Text = "Saving...";
    }

    private void OnSaveCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
    {
        int result = m_Channel.EndSave(ar);

        Invoke(
            new MethodInvoker(delegate()
            {
               StatusLabel.Text = result.ToString();
            }));
    }
}

Many thanks.

A:
sorry about the delay in getting back to you on this. One of the problems I think you have is that you are not instantiating your proxy correctly. Not sure what you channelprovider does but creating you own channel is pretty straight forward and might not need a wrapper.
I tried a simple test using the old calculator service sample and found I had no difficulties with keeping the channel open.
First I created two fields...
    private ChannelFactory<ICalculator> m_Factory;
    private ICalculator m_Proxy;

Then instantiated the factory in the constructor using the client config in the config file.
    m_Factory = new ChannelFactory<ICalculator>("calc");

Then when invoking the service I create my proxy and execute the async method. Once the call is returned I convert the proxy into a ICommunicationObject which gives me the state of my channel. You should see that the proxy you invoked is still open. You should then be able to close it.
    void OnBegin(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        m_Proxy = m_Factory.CreateChannel();
        m_Proxy.BeginAdd(2, 3, OnCompletion, null);

        // Do other stuff...
    }

    void OnCompletion(IAsyncResult result)
    {
        int sum = m_Proxy.EndAdd(result);
        result.AsyncWaitHandle.Close();

        ICommunicationObject channel = (ICommunicationObject)m_Proxy;
        if (channel.State == CommunicationState.Opened)
            channel.Close();
    }

Hope this helps.

A: I found the answer to this in Juval Lowy's WCF book.  Using my original example, this can be rewritten as follows:
public partial class MyForm : Form
{
public MyForm()
{
    InitializeComponent();
}

private void OnSaveButtonClickAsync(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Company company = new Company();
    company.BranchId = "A1";
    company.CompanyName = "A1 LTD";

    // ChannelProvider is a class I've created which returns a channel created by the ChannelFactory
    ChannelProvider<ICompanyService> channelProvider = new ChannelProvider<ICompanyService>();
    channel = channelProvider.GetChannel();

    channel.BeginSave(
        company,
        new AsyncCallback(OnSaveCallback),
        channel);

    StatusLabel.Text = "Saving...";
}

private void OnSaveCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
{
    int result = m_Channel.EndSave(ar);

    IContextChannel contextChannel = (IContextChannel)ar.AsyncState;
    contextChannel.Close();

    Invoke(
        new MethodInvoker(delegate()
        {
           StatusLabel.Text = result.ToString();
        }));
}

}

Czech Republic went all in, and lucky Norway with four points to main round
In our expert article series, Søren Jeppesen takes a look at group A where reigning champions Norway and host Serbia played.
Her is Jeppesen's conclusion of the preliminary group phase;
Czech Republic was in a nearly knock-out match alredy in their opening match in this tournament.
I must say Dusan Poloz's crew had got the message and went out and sent Ukraine back to the hotel with a three-goal defeat, and then they had one feet in the main round.
Their next match was against Norway, a match where everyone thought Norway would be the big favorite and cruise in to a victory.
But the Czech Republic had confidence and went out and played with an offensive defense and had Norway for a long time down on their knees, but they were beaten by two goals at end.
By the way an incredibly nice tactical match of the Czech Republic. Czech Republic have made a little surprise by going to the main round, even they finally lost by four goals to the host nation Serbia.
Ukraine is far from the old days and I think even they had higher expectations for themselves, to go further,
but they have not advance to this decades handball. It is no energy and dynamics in this team, and motivatioen to play for the national team does not seem big, but one of the reason may be that their coach wants his players to cry when they make mistakes. Then you should be afraid of making mistakes, and it is a coaching method that should never take place in 2012.
What's happened to the team in last match, it's a good question, and we'll never get the answer. But, with their "old timer" handball they were close to beat Norway, and I think they earned to win the match, but routine of difference did that this surprise just lasted for seconds.
I think it takes a long time before Ukraine is back in the top of european handball.
Serbia who's putting a big effort in this championship, have had the start as expected.
They started with a hard opening match as they lost, therafter a 3 goal victory against Ukraine.
I wrote that this team maybe could surprise as their male team did on January. But I very much doubt they will.
They are not good enough, and that's from attack to defense, to goalkeepers
and down to every single player.
They ending the group stage with a great victory over the Czech Republic, but their collective does not function at all, and because of this I do thin the Serbian team not will be amongst ther four teams who goes to the semifinals.
Norway have come as expected from the start, but not completely error free either.
It is clear to me that there is a change out on the team too. They play a fairly opening match, while the match against the Czech Republic was out of their league.
Many handball professional people were out to say that the team was not motivated enough for this match, and they should win with one arm behind their back.
I totally disagree with this case here. Norway was far out of their play against the Czech Republic, they are not used to playing against aggressive defense, and I think they were surprised how bad they really got to play this match.
Although the coach had a quite another hopeless eplanation the day after the match. And I must be honest to say if Norway had not had an outstanding keeper in Katrine Lunde Haraldsen, they had been with 0 points after the first two matches.
Norway had plans to spend the last match to get the players into the championship which had not got so much playing time in the first two matches, but they were in big trouble all the way, and pulls out a victory by one goal at the end.
It seems like there is no players that's in to the game yet. Anywya Norway goes into the main round with four points that will will give them some space. Still I believe they will have big problems in the main round if they continue playing like this. Then the semi finals is in the blue.

Filing For Divorce: Should I Wait Until After The Holidays?
Since becoming a New Jersey divorce and family law attorney, I can attest to the fact that after holiday seasons, and even typical vacation times, the phone in my office tends to ring a bit more frequently with new clients making appointments. Sometimes, the holiday acted as "the straw that broke the camel's back" and a person wants to get out. It has been speculated that due to the stress of the December holiday season, that January is Divorce Month.
However, many times when sitting down for initial post-holiday consultations, new clients explain that they consciously waited to come to visit until after a family vacation, the holiday season, or a special event (family wedding or milestone birthday). And as we now find ourselves in the throws of the holiday season, many of you are making that same decision.
It is attractive for many reasons to trudge through these holidays as an intact family. You may feel that you don't want to upset your children during the holidays. You may want to preserve a family tradition for one more round and want your children to see an intact family opening presents under the tree or lighting the menorah. I admire your dedication to your children, but caution you to tread carefully, there are a few reasons why you should not wait.
First, if you are the victim of domestic violence (physical or mental), you should not wait another minute to put legal protection in place for yourself. Holidays are full of stress and emotion for even the best of marital relationships. If your relationship is experiencing problems and there has been any incident of abuse, it can continue or even get worse during the next few weeks as budgets are stretched to purchase holiday gifts and alcohol is consumed during celebrations.
If your relationship is stressed and headed towards divorce, you may find that as the holidays approach your decision to wait becomes unbearable. Given the stress of shopping, cooking, and visiting the reasons why you are headed towards divorce may even become amplified. Additionally, the performance of "everything is normal and happy" can be exhausting for you.
While you may be waiting out one more holiday season for the sake of your children, that plan will more than likely backfire. Even if you really do pull off an award winning performance of happiness, it will not be authentic. While they usually cannot explain it, children can feel tension in the air when parents are unhappy. Even the best of parents snap under this pressure and the children will witness screaming, fighting, parents snapping at each other or just not happy. This can all be emotionally damaging and not in their best interest at all. Their Christmas will be filled with many memories of mom and dad's throw down and horrible memories. If you do manage to pull off the season without fighting, shortly after your children will be crushed if they think the holidays were a sham. If they are older they may feel guilty that you were miserable during the holidays just so they can be happy.
My best advice to you is to meet with a divorce attorney and put a plan in place. Fear of the unknown can cause too much stress. You will find great relief starting the process and enter the holidays with a bit of certainty about your future. You will know what to expect and fell 100% better. Even if you do decide to keep the start of the divorce process quiet, knowing that there is action can bring you great peace. Our staff looks forward to helping you through this time, call for your free consultation today.

The Control Data Corporation (CDC) 6600 performs up to 3 million instructions per second —three times faster than that of its closest competitor, the IBM 7030 supercomputer. The 6600 retained the distinction of being the fastest computer in the world until surpassed by its successor, the CDC 7600, in 1968. Part of the speed came from the computer´s design, which used 10 small computers, known as peripheral processing units, to offload the workload from the central processor.
The Canadian Chalk River Nuclear Lab needed a special device to monitor a reactor. Instead of designing a custom controller, two young engineers from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) -- Gordon Bell and Edson de Castro -- do something unusual: they develop a small, general purpose computer and program it to do the job. A later version of that machine became the PDP-8, the first commercially successful minicomputer. The PDP-8 sold for $18,000, one-fifth the price of a small IBM System/360 mainframe. Because of its speed, small size, and reasonable cost, the PDP-8 was sold by the thousands to manufacturing plants, small businesses, and scientific laboratories around the world.
IBM's 2315 disk cartridge is announced. This 1MB disk cartridge was used with the IBM 1800 and 1130 computers, and it provided easily transported "personal storage" for users of those small computers. Each 2315 consisted of a magnetically coated, direct access disk encased in a plastic cartridge that easily fit into built-in disk drives. When it was inserted into the disk drive, a power drive engaged the disk and spun it at 1,500 revolutions per minute. Simultaneously, an arm extended to perform read and write functions on the disk's magnetic surfaces.
Seven years in the making, IBM's 2321 Data Cell Drive stored up to 400 MB. The Data Cell Drive was announced with the System/360 mainframe computer. Wide magnetic strips were plucked from bins and wrapped around a rotating cylinder for reading and writing. Reliability problems plagued the initial models, but after improvements were made it became relatively reliable and sold until 1976.
The New York World's Fair of 1964 features demonstrations from governments and companies from around the world. IBM hired architect Eero Saarinen to design a major pavilion, featuring the Information Machine, an attraction and film designed by noted filmmakers Charles and Ray Eames. The pavilion featured demonstrations of IBM products such as the newly released IBM Selectric typewriter, machine translation and the IBM 1460, which demonstrated handwriting recognition and on-line information retrieval.
System/360 is a major event in the history of computing. On April 7, IBM announced five models of System/360, spanning a 50-to-1 performance range. At the same press conference, IBM also announced 40 completely new peripherals for the new family. System/360 was aimed at both business and scientific customers and all models could run the same software, largely without modification. IBM's initial investment of $5 billion was quickly returned as orders for the system climbed to 1,000 per month within two years. At the time IBM released the System/360, the company had just made the transition from discrete transistors to integrated circuits, and its major source of revenue began to move from punched card equipment to electronic computer systems.
IBM introduces the SABRE reservation system for American Airlines. First tested in 1960, the system took over American's reservations four years later. Running on dual IBM 7090 mainframes, SABRE was inspired by IBM's work on the SAGE air-defense system. SABRE, which became a separate travel-services company in 2000, owns the Travelocity website.
Computer dating begins in earnest with Project TACT (Technical Automated Compatibility Testing). While students at Harvard had created dating programs, and television shows used computer matching as a gimmick, Project TACT was an ongoing service that initially matched residents of New York's Upper East Side. Accountant Lewis Altfest, inspired by a visit to the Parker Pen Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair, brought in programmer Robert Ross to help design a system to match singles. Participants would fill out a questionnaire. The answers were then transferred to punched cards and fed into an IBM 1401 computer. After processing, each participant would receive 5 punched cards – blue to indicate male matches, pink for female matches. Though the business received a large amount of early media coverage, and expanded to all of New York, Project TACT lasted only a couple of years, ceasing operations when its founders lost interest.
SABRE is a joint project between American Airlines and IBM. Operational by 1964, it was not the first computerized reservation system, but it was well publicized and became very influential. Running on dual IBM 7090 mainframe computer systems, SABRE was inspired by IBM's earlier work on the SAGE air-defense system. Eventually, SABRE expanded, even making airline reservations available via on-line services such as CompuServe, Genie, and America Online.
At a cost to computer makers of roughly $700, the ASR-33 Teletype is originally designed as a low cost terminal for the Western Union communications network. Throughout the 1960s and '70s, the ASR-33 was a popular and inexpensive choice of input and output device for minicomputers and many of the first generation of microcomputers.
IBM introduces Transformer Read Only Storage (TROS) with the arrival of the IBM 360. TROS modules preceded solid-state ROM chips, and each bit of this read-only memory for microcode was a little magnetic transformer. Punches in the mylar strips controlled whether current flowed through the transformer or around it, representing a binary zero or a one.

Peek Inside Hugh Jackman's $25 Million NYC Panty-Dropping Palace
Hugh Jackman has got that triple threat thing down.
Especially since he's acting, singing and dancing all the way to the bank – and has so much stored away for a rainy day that he plunked down $25 million to live in the Big Apple's lap of luxury.
In this edition of Real Estate Rewind, we're going back to 2008 when the Aussie hunk moved into this massive modernist real estate masterpiece designed by internationally acclaimed architect Richard Meier.
And Celebuzz can give you a glimpse at the inside photos.
The 11,000 square foot, 3-level condo in the artsy enclave of the West Village was previously owned by billionaire Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy, who put it on the market for a whopping $40 million, then $33 million, until the Prisoners star snagged it for a steal (but still staggering) $25M.
And it's only the very best for the superstar. The 5-bedroom spread is the largest in the building and is filled to the crown moldings with dramatic details – from expansive views of the Hudson River and 3 terraces to huge double-height ceilings and swirling staircase.
The digs include a professional gourmet kitchen, studio/exercise area (to get into tip top Wolverine shape), recreation room for his two kids Ava and Oscar, sauna, library and wine cellar. And we can't forget the music room where he perfects those Broadway pipes.
Check out each room for yourself in the CB! gallery above.

Eliza Dushku Drops $300K on This Boston Panty-Dropping Palace
Eliza Dushku has the perfect cure for being homesick – earn enough money to live the bicoastal dream.
The Boston native just bought herself a pied-a-terre in Beantown, Celebuzz has learned.
And this little taste of home only set the former Buffy The Vampire Slayer ass-kicker back a modest (by celeb standards) $300,000.
The 31-year-old actress, who grew up in Watertown, Mass., purchased the new digs in late July, according to property records, as the perfect home away from Hollywood for her and longtime boyfriend Rick Fox. And it's got all the New England charm you can get for a few hundred grand.
Located in trendy Beacon Hill just north of Boston Common, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo boasts classic brick Federal-style architecture with tons of historic character.
Each charming room has been remodeled and is just waiting for Dushku's style-savvy touch. But we're pretty sure there are a few things she won't lay her hands on, like all the original details that have been kept intact, from the high ceilings to ornate moldings.
Just minutes from all the restaurant hotspots and shops on Charles and Newbury streets, the quaint space for two is a great investment as a rental for all the nearby Boston College, MIT and Harvard students or just a crash pad for Dushku's family visits.
Go inside her charming crib in the CB! gallery above.

Several years ago there was a cattle drive that went from Texas to Montana. My husband watched it's progress in his farm magazines and I was trying to gauge where it would be on the Fourth of July. We use to go to an art show every 4th in western Nebraska and then went to visit friends in eastern Wyoming. If the trail drive was any where close I intended to find it. That was the first question I asked when we got there, "Where is the trail drive." As it happens the it was just crossing into Wyoming down by Torrington. We went to photograph on two different days. A number of paintings came from this adventure.
The setting for "The Outrider" was down town Torrington.Wyoming. When considering what to do for a background, I decided that I liked the contrast between the longhorns and the cowboy and the stark white of.the paper so I left it alone. This also made "Sergio" and "The Outrider" a natural pair.
