Q: Change button image dependant on boolean I have a button that is on my prototype cell in TableView, and what I'm trying to do is change the image of the button depending on a property of that cell being True or False. So, when the cell is being loaded, if this.value = True, set image as X, else set image as Y.
However, everytime the cell initially loads, its just showing the button as the default image from the IB. How can I get it to load with the right image?
bool paid = [cellArray[indexPath.row] paid];
if (paid == TRUE) {
    [row.btnPaidUnpaid setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:kCommonRadioActiveImage] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
} else if (paid == FALSE) {
    [row.btnPaidUnpaid setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:kCommonRadioInActiveImage] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

A: You can set different image for button's default and selected states.
You can achieve this from storyboard as well as programmatically.
Now based on your boolean value change button's state to default or selected - your image will change automatically.
myButton.selected = true/false

myButton.setImage(UIImage(named : "unselectedImage"), for: UIControlState.normal)
myButton.setImage(UIImage(named : "selectedImage"), for: UIControlState.selected)

which is more luxury mercedes or bmw
In 2018 it wasMercedesthat sold the most luxury vehicles in the United States. But it was close. Mercedes sold 315,959 vehicles last year, which was only about 4,000 cars and SUVs ahead of BMW, which finished in second place.
Is BMW better than Mercedes Benz?
As such, BMW and Mercedes are somewhat comparable to each other, but in general, neither brand ranks favorably compared to other car manufacturers. What is the most unreliable car brand?
Are BMW and Mercedes-Benz the same company?
Thankfully, both BMW and Mercedes have a vast lineup with cars in many segments. BMW creates the 3-Series, 5-Series and 7-Series as part of the car lineup. There are also unique options, such as the M, I, X and Z4 models.
Why is car insurance more expensive for BMW than Mercedes?
BMW parts are more expensive than Mercedes and hence if you had to replace any parts a BMW would cost more. When it is expensive to find a part and replace then that car would have a higher cost of car insurance too. So, if you are lucky to own an expensive new BMW model and a used older Mercedes then the premiums for BMW could be higher.
Are Mercedes-Benz and BMW reliable luxury cars?
Back in the olden days, both Mercedes-Benz and BMW was known as the paragons for well-built, reliable luxury cars. In fact, there are proven cases for both marques.
why do people buy luxury goods
where do expensive luxury cats come from


Drug abuse is a sensitive topic that doesn't get discussed nearly enough in the workplace. If you look at the averages alone, most large organizations have at least one or two people dealing with drug abuse at any given moment. Do you know how to identify these abusers and help them seek recovery?
Whether used with a prescription from a doctor or obtained illegally, drug abuse is a major problem in the United States. According to Rush University Medical Center, there are an estimated 6 million Americans using prescription drugs illegitimately each month. The top three abused drug categories are opioids, sedatives, and stimulants.
According to data gathered by Promises Treatment Center, drug abusers miss 10 workdays for every one that is missed by other employees. If you have someone who misses an abnormally large number of days every month, this should raise your eyebrows. It doesn't necessarily mean they're abusing drugs, but it's a sign that something could be wrong.
One of the major costs of drug abuse comes in the form of a lack of workplace productivity. According to one study, drug abuse costs the country hundreds of billions of dollars every year. Roughly 60 percent of this cost comes in the form of lost workplace productivity.
If you have an employee who used to be productive but now seems to meander through the workday with little output, there's obviously something going on. If other symptoms are also present, drug abuse could be the culprit.
The Promises Treatment Center data also reveals that those abusing drugs accrue employer-covered health care costs that are a three-times higher than the costs incurred by the average employee.
You obviously can't dig into an employee's health records and problems without their permission, but do be aware that exceptionally high health care costs indicate something isn't right. You can usually put two and two together to determine if these costs are part of an ongoing health issue, or if they're being hidden in secrecy.
Those abusing drugs aren't always in a good state of mind. If they're on the drug, their cognitive functioning is usually impacted in some form or fashion. If they're in between drug usage, then they might be experiencing withdrawal symptoms that lead to irritation and/or anxiety.
Employees who are using drugs will often exhibit signs of risky behavior. Sometimes this risky behavior will be innocent, while other times it can put the employee and your organization in harm's way.
Finally, listen to your other employees. Co-workers know each other better than you know them. If they come to you and say something isn't right, chances are pretty good that there's an issue. Take everything people say with a grain of salt, but don't discount a report simply because it requires you to get involved. It may be worth sitting down and having conversations with different individuals so that you can get to the bottom of the problem.
Drug abuse isn't something you approach casually if you don't know what you're doing. Calling an employee out may be the worst thing you can do for their situation. If you don't have previous experience dealing with abuse and addiction, speak with someone who does and help the individual get the assistance they need.

Studio: Dreamworks SKG
Director: Josh Gordon/Will Speck
Cast: Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, William Fitchner, Craig T Nelson
As funny and clever as Talladega Nights, though much the same. It's actually smartest about creating a realistic world nobody who lives in it realises is so ridiculous. Just watch the TV spots about each skater, Chaz (Ferrell) and Jimmy (Heder). They very, very subtly portray the whole scene as frankly comical, but it's taken seriously by the movie itself, which - though it's a cliché - helps us identify with the characters.
The laughs make the whole movie as Ferrell and Heder are mortal enemy Olympic figure skaters who are both banned for life when they start a fight on the winner's podium after their bout is declared a draw.
Years later, at rock bottom (Ferrell's scene as a drunk elf in an ice skating pantomime is a scream), their former coach realises they can skate again if they form the sport's first male duo.
Cue a lot of predictable but well-done gay jokes, but the more subversive digs are at the thriller genre. When Michaels is being chased by arch enemy Stranz (Arnett) to the stadium, they leave the icy streets and the chase comes down several notches as they enter the arena and have to pick their way carefully across the floor in ice skates, stopping to chat about their costumes on the escalator.
It could have been a stupid idea stupidly done, but the comedy lifts the material and the show is all Ferrell's, Heder not quite matching his energy or comic verve.


Manage performance, deploy resources and analyse intelligence at a global, national or local level. Ensure the best use of resources with maximum cost-efficiency.
The business of defence and security agencies is volatile, demanding fast answers to assess volatile situations. However traditional information exploitation and analytics tools can be cumbersome, costly and slow to react. This is why more security agencies, police forces and military planners are using the QlikView Business Discovery platform.

Massive Russian missile barrage pummels cities across Ukraine
Major cities were left without power as Russia launched its biggest wave of strikes in recent weeks.
Dec. 29, 2022, 10:49 AM UTC
By Rhoda Kwan
A massive Russian missile attack pummeled cities across Ukraine on Thursday in the biggest wave of strikes in recent weeks.
Russian forces fired more than 120 missiles, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said in a tweet.
The attacks intensified overnight, beginning with explosive drones on select regions before expanding to "air and sea-based cruise missiles launched from strategic aircraft and ships" in the morning, Ukraine's army chief, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhny said in a post on his Telegram channel.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko also used the messaging service to say that three people, including a 14-year-old girl were taken to hospital. In a later post, he said 40% of the country's capital was without power.
Air defense systems were activated in the city to fend off the ongoing missile attacks, according to the city's regional administration.
The widespread attacks were the latest in a series of Russian strikes targeting Ukraine's vital infrastructure, with many hitting civilian areas.
Moscow has launched similar attacks on a weekly basis since October, as it lost key regions following a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive that redrew the war's front lines.

Zaluzhny said that 54 of the 69 incoming Russian missiles and explosive drones had been shot down across the country. Regional authorities, including in the northern Sumy region and the southern Mykolaiv province near the Black Sea, also reported that attacks were intercepted.
But some still reached their targets, disrupting power and water supplies. The barrage threatens to exacerbate an increasing humanitarian crisis across Ukraine amid harsh winter conditions.
Raining fragments of intercepted Russian missiles damaged two private buildings, an industrial facility and a playground in neighborhoods across Kyiv, according to city officials. No casualties were immediately reported.
Multiple explosions also took place in Kharkiv in the country's east, and in the city of Lviv near its western border with Poland, according to their mayors.
The blasts also left 90% of Lviv without power and halted all trams and trolley buses, and residents might experience water interruptions, Mayor Andriy Sadovyi wrote on Telegram.

Authorities in Dnipro, Odesa and Kryvyi Rih braced for the attacks on Thursday, switching off electricity in their regions early in the day to minimize any damage to critical infrastructure if they were hit by Russian shelling.
The ongoing bombardment came as efforts for peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow gained no ground.
Earlier this month, the United States agreed to give a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine to boost its defense. The U.S. and other allies also pledged to provide energy-related equipment to help Ukraine withstand the attacks on its infrastructure.
Ukraine has said it will never cede its soil and has signaled it will not accept Moscow's conditions. Podolyak said Thursday that Russia was aiming to "destroy critical infrastructure and kill civilians en masse."

"We're waiting for further proposals from 'peacekeepers' about 'peaceful settlement,' 'security guarantees for RF' and undesirability of provocations," he wrote on Twitter, a sarcastic reference to statements from some in the West who urged Ukraine to seek a political settlement of the conflict.
Kyiv earlier this week announced it aims to hold a "peace summit" at the United Nations by February, but has said Moscow must submit to a tribunal to be tried for war crimes before it will directly engage with any talks to end the war.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Thursday dismissed the peace summit proposal as "delirious" and "hollow," slamming it as a "publicity stunt" orchestrated by Washington "that tries to cast the Kyiv regime as a peacemaker."
"It's an attempt to give a semblance of legitimacy to a meaningless discussion that will not be followed by any concrete steps," she said during a briefing.
The Kremlin has demanded Zelenskyy's administration and the West recognize its illegal annexation of around a fifth of Ukrainian territory as conditions for peace talks.

In My Queue: The Bletchley Circle
7 May, 2015 6 May, 2015 / Jenn Robinson
It's been a while since I've shared a Netflix find that I thought my readers would appreciate. I've been terribly busy with rehearsals and such, but I have found the occasional moment to toy with Netflix and find new shows. One that I'd had in my queue for a long time was The Bletchley Circle. As a woman with a technical background, I was intrigued by a show I thought was about women working at Bletchley Park during World War II.
Well, I was wrong, it's actually about a group of women who used to work at Bletchley Park, but the show's main action follows them several years later as they've tried to return to "normal life" after the war. None of them can say what they did during the war, and instead are officially named as secretaries and bookkeepers. For the first series, they solve a series of murders when the first-series main character, Susan, notices a pattern while listening about the killings on the radio. She gathers together Millie, Lucy, and Jean, her old colleagues from Bletchley, to help her. Each has a specific skill that helps put together the clues they find.
It blends a period drama with a crime procedural, something I've pointed out before as a particular favorite genre. But it then goes a step further and instead of introducing strong (but peripheral) female characters, it bases the entire show on four women's experiences. And it captures the frustration of intelligent women being underestimated by the men in their lives.
The show also captures the atmosphere of post-war England well. While the US was celebrating victory in a war that virtually never touched their own land, England was picking up the pieces from having its major cities bombed and all their supply chains disrupted. Luxuries, like perfume and lipstick, were hard, if not illegal, to come by. So the women of The Bletchley Circle are not the carefree, red-lipped women of the 50s that we might picture, but instead are, for the most part, honest, unglamorous, and relatively free of makeup. The only character that regularly wears lipstick is Millie, the "bad girl" of the group.
The Bletchley Circle has sadly only made seven episodes that are on Netflix right now, so it's a quickly-consumed series, but the characters and the plots are worth waiting for more.

Hickory, NC – Two-time All-American Stephanie Lowery scored the game-winning goal in the 79th minute to give the 11th-ranked Lady Cougars a 2-1 victory over previously undefeated and sixth-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne Sunday afternoon in a non-conference matchup at the Moretz Sports - Athletic Complex in Hickory, North Carolina.
Lowery received a pass from Emily Husted from the right side of the field and fired a shot to the lower left corner of the net and notched her second goal of the season. Her first goal in 2012 was also a game-winner versus Florida Southern in the season opener.
The win was a bit more enjoyable for Columbus State than a normal regular season victory as Lenoir-Rhyne has ended CSU's season each of the past two years in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Despite outshooting the hosts by an 11-3 margin in the first half, the Lady Cougars ended the first 45 minutes of action in a 0-0 deadlock.
Just 5:15 into the second half, Blakely Heideman was able to take advantage of a defensive miscue as she gathered a missed clear attempt catching the L-R goalie out of position and knocking in her first goal of the season.
It was a short-lived lead as Brianna Belsky took and scored off a corner kick in the 54th minute tying the match at one apiece until Lowery's late game heroics.
Columbus State held an 18-10 advantage in shots including a 10-3 edge in shots on goal.
Mary Mancin earned the victory for CSU improving to 4-0 as she collected two saves in the contest. Caitlin Scruggs kept her team in the contest making eight saves while allowing a pair of goals in 90 minutes of action falling to 3-1 on the year.
The victory over Lenoir-Rhyne gives the Lady Cougars their second win over a top-10 ranked opponent this season as they defeated then No. 8 Tampa 1-0 in the final match of the CSU Collegiate Invitational a week ago.
CSU returns to the pitch on Tuesday, September 11 when it travels to Rome, Georgia to take on Shorter in a non-conference matchup at Ben Brady Field. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Q: Three.js: correctly combine modified vUv and gl_FragCoord I'd like to reproduce this effect on my three.js scene : https://www.shadertoy.com/view/3ljfzV
To do so, I'm using a ShaderMaterial(). I first made sure that my textures fit perfectly my scene based on this solution.
Then, I get rid of the gl_FragCoord since I have modified UVs. I replaced it with this formula : glFragCoord = modifiedUVs * uResolution
You can see here my current result. Here's the related fragment shader ↓
precision highp float;

uniform sampler2D uText1; // texture 1
uniform sampler2D uText2; // texture 2

uniform vec3 uResolution; // width and height of my scene
uniform float uTime;

uniform vec2 uUvScale; // UV Scale calculated with the resolution of my texture and the viewport
varying vec2 vUv; // uvs from my vertex shader

// parameters for the effect
float freq = 3.2, period = 8.0, speed = 2., fade = 4., displacement = 0.2;

void main()
{
    // make my textures fits like the css background-size:cover property
    vec2 uv = (vUv - 0.5) * uUvScale + 0.5;

    vec2 R = uResolution.xy,
        U = (2. * (uv * uResolution.xy) - R) / min(R.x, R.y), //2.
        T = ((uv * uResolution.xy)) / R.y;
    float D = length(U);

    float frame_time = mod(uTime * speed, period);
    float pixel_time = max(0.0, frame_time - D);

    float wave_height = (cos(pixel_time * freq) + 1.0) / 2.0;
    float wave_scale = (1.0 - min(1.0, pixel_time / fade));
    float frac = wave_height * wave_scale;
    if (mod(uTime * speed, period * 2.0) > period)
    {
        frac = 1. - frac;
    }

    vec2 tc = T + ((U / D) * -((sin(pixel_time * freq) / fade) * wave_scale) * displacement);

    gl_FragColor = mix(
        texture2D(uText1,tc),
        texture2D(uText2,tc),
        frac);
}

As you can see, the displacement works great, but I have trouble to make my textures fits the whole scene.
I think I'm pretty close to make it fully work because when I change the texture coordinates by the modified uvs my textures displays correctly ↓ In this case, only the displacement is missing as you can see here.
gl_FragColor = mix(
    texture2D(uText1,uv),
    texture2D(uText2,uv),
    frac);

Does anyone know how can I combine correctly my modified UVs with the gl_FragCoord value? Should I replace the gl_FragCoord by another formula to keep both the displacement and the position of my textures?
Thank you very much
EDIT :
I've been told that I can add this line :
tc.x *= uResolution.y/uResolution.x;

It fixed the textures positions but now I don't have a perfect circular displacement as you can see here.

For the second consecutive year, the Girls' Varsity Hockey team has partnered with the Headway Foundation for Concussion Awareness Week, January 28th through February 3rd.
Co-founded by Women's Hockey Olympian and Choate alumna, Josephine Pucci '09, the Headway Foundation is a non-profit organization, which "aims to promote a safer sports culture, provide resources for patients, and enhance concussion evaluation protocols and accessibility."In order to spread concussion awareness on campus, the Girls' Hockey team has volunteered as ambassadors for Headway, and have each made the pact to be a 'New Tough' athlete. This pact challenges athletes to handle concussions properly, and to help redefine the culture of sports and the traditional toughness required. These athletes have joined Headway in the commitment to promote a safer sports culture, and in supporting injured teammates during recovery.
Last Saturday, the Girls' Varsity Hockey team wore Headway stickers on their helmets for their game against Millbrook School. They will be wearing these stickers for this week's game. Read more about Headway's New Tough and see other New Tough athletes.
Other Choate alumni involved in the research and treatment of traumatic brain injury and concussion awareness include Tim Fleiszer '94 and Jay Waller '91. Fleiszer is a former Canadian football league player and Executive Director of the Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada. Waller was featured in Going the Distance, a documentary on survivors of traumatic brain injury. He is a Connecticut-based physical therapist specializing in brain injury and concussion.


The much anticipated Floyd Mayweather vs Victor Ortiz has come and gone. Only one fighter would be able to back up his guaranteed knockout, and that would be Mayweather.
Mayweather was generally considered to have won the first three rounds, but it got interesting in the fourth round. Mayweather came out punching, but Ortiz was able to remain composed and fight back.
Ortiz had Mayweather on the ropes towards the end of the forth round, but all that would change with a series of crucial mistakes by Ortiz. First, Ortiz was pounding on Mayweather and inexplicably (and obviously) headbutted Mayweather. The referee broke the fighters up as a result and it would cost Ortiz a point. But more than a point, it cost Ortiz the fight.
When the two fighters touched gloves and resumed the fight, Ortiz went in for an apologetic hug with his hands down. Mayweather never dropped his hands a proceeded to knock Ortiz out with a left-right combo. After the left to the head, Ortiz was clearly dazed and never had a chance – Mayweather fired a power right and Ortiz was out for the count.
Many will be talking about this controversial ending for some time to come, but the loss was clearly Ortiz's fault. The headbutt was a horrible decision that ruined his momentum. Then he did the biggest mistake any boxer can ever make – he left his hands down.
The referee clearly started the round, the two fighters touched gloves. Why did Ortiz want to hug Mayweather? With all the trash talk before this fight, why would Ortiz go soft now? Mayweather was gloves up the moment they touched gloves, how did Ortiz miss this? He missed it and paid dearly for it.
Mayweather won the WBC Welterweight Title, or you could say Ortiz lost the title.
Mayweather took offense to a ring interview accusing him of taking cheapshots, and I don't blame him. He won fair and square. Don't apologize midround – fight till the end. Mayweather was open to a rematch, and it will be interesting if Ortiz will make it happen.
But, the world really wants to see Manny Pacquiao fight Mayweather, but I'm not sure that will ever happen.

Four teams vie for three finals spots
Fri, 29 June 2018 4:32PM
Camera IconWarmun Eagles have a road game against the Wyndham Crocs this weekend.
This weekend is the last round of football before the EKFL finals but there is still plenty to play for, with four teams competing for three spots in the finals.
Each year five teams in total compete in the finals series and two slots are already filled with the Waringarri Crows locking in the top spot and the Kununurra Demons sitting on a large enough points differential to all but guarantee a top-five finish.
The Demons are one of four teams with a record of 7-4 including the Warmun Eagles, Wyndham Crocs and Kururrungku Roos.
On the outside looking in are the Yardgee Dockers on 6-5 which have a better percentage than the Roos and with a big enough win could come close to either the Crocs or Eagles.
The Dockers need one of those three teams to lose and themselves get a win at home this weekend against the Ord River Magpies.
Roos play the bottom of the ladder Kundat Djaru Cats and on paper should win handily, but the Cats took it to the Crows last weekend before having their score wiped partway through the game for fielding too many players at once.
A big enough win by the Crocs or Eagles, who play each other, could potentially see the other drop out.
Demons host the Crows at Kununurra Town Oval tomorrow night and will be looking for redemption after their loss to the top team earlier this year to lock down the second spot on the ladder.
Crows will be able to rest players this round if they wish and will also get a bye from the first weekend of football finals.
The remaining teams will hope they don't fall to the fourth and fifth spot who will play an elimination final against each other before facing the loser of second versus third.
The winner of second versus third will get a shot at the Crows with whoever takes out that match going straight to the grand final and the loser battling the victor from the other elimination games.

Savoy Hotel
Group From 6/8/1889
Categories: Commerce
Following the success of the Savoy Theatre the hotel was built next door to satisfy the demand for accommodation from the members of the audience. The first London Hotel to have fully plumbed-in bathrooms (about 1 for every 3 bedrooms) electricity throughout and lifts.
We long to dine at the Savoy but only in a party with a total of 13 guests. Under these conditions the Savoy wheels out Kaspar, an art deco wooden cat from the 1920s, who is given the 14th place with cutlery and bowl of milk. This tradition originated at a 1898 dinner held by Woolf Joel - see there for the spooky story.
During the 1920s, while the BBC was based in nearby Savoy Hill they often used the Savoy Hotel for their dance music broadcasts.

Nieman Reports has won an EPPY Award for the best web redesign/relaunch in the "under 1 million unique monthly visitors" category. Presented annually by Editor & Publisher, the EPPYs honor the best in digital media across 31 categories.
The Nieman Reports redesign was part of a larger institution-wide effort by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard to better integrate information about Nieman Fellowships with content produced by the foundation's three journalistic publications: Nieman Storyboard, Nieman Lab and Nieman Reports.
Key areas of development for the project included streamlined navigation, unified branding and a new responsive design that displays well on all devices.
For the redesign, Nieman commissioned Boston-based Upstatement: Nieman Lab director Joshua Benton redesigned the Lab site. The result is a fully integrated family of Nieman endeavors and the ability to share and post content easily across publications.

SDCC: DC Comics Batman Panel
by Michelle · Published July 21, 2011 · Updated February 24, 2012
Edited to Add: tons of art at Comics Alliance – July 22, 7:42am CST
The lack of management presence on this panel was really evident in the numerous offhand comments that were made by a number of writers. Some of them said things they really…shouldn't have. It sure is interesting the kind of things people say when they think they're surrounded by like-minded peers.
Who was there: Batman Group Editor Mike Marts, Editor Rachel Gluckstern, writers Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder, Gail Simone, Judd Winick, Kyle Higgins, Scott Lobdell, Peter Tomasi and Gregg Hurwitz as well as artists Chris Burnham and David Finch. Panel was moderated by DC Marketing VP John Cunningham.
"Dick Grayson is at a point right now where he's had more exposure than he's ever had…and he's basically taking back on his own purpose and identity," the writer [Kyle Higgins] said. "The thing I always say about the book is that Dick's an acrobat, so that kinetic energy is something we really want to embrace."
But *how old is he*??
Simone spoke to her connection to Barbara Gordon, saying that the new "Batgirl" series will focus on Barbara Gordon as a young woman just out of college struggling to find her place in the world. Adrian Syaf will draw the book and, according to Simone, draws a lot of character depth from the heroine including her first moment in the Batgirl costume in years.
So we have a firm age. College graduate. The same age she was when she first became Batgirl (pre and post Crisis). She must have become Batgirl as a teenager in this timeline, like Stephanie. Can't understand how she had time to be Oracle in university.
Winick also spoke on Catwoman saying that he was happy to work on a character who's been a part of the franchise since the beginning. While his editor played up the sexiness, Winick said, "This is a dirty, dirty book, and you're going to enjoy it." He added that the focus of the series will be to get back to "a chick in a catsuit who steals things" and "If anything goes wrong, she'll scratch someone's eyes out."
EWWW. I respected Judd Winick for his Power Girl run. I had no idea he was a total creep.
[Winick] added of "Batwing," "I've been given a chance to create an all-new Batman, and it's so exciting." A piece of art from series penciler Ben Oliver revealed a new villain for Batwing wielding a Machete. Winick referred to the new bad guy Masacre as "a very subtly named villain" who will be the arch-nemesis of the new hero in what will be a morally dark book in places. Batman will appear in the book not as a mentor but as a general to which Batwing plays soldier.
There go any plans I might have had for trying Batwing. I haven't read Batman Inc. so I don't know Batwing's story or his setting (i.e. how much it mirrors Gotham), but this description has me worried that the book will be reinforcing the reaallly problematic narrative of every story set in Africa being about atrocities and war. I've also yet to hear anyone refer to which *country* Batwing operates out of. That's in Batman Inc., right? I am assuming he's not *actually* going to be called the "Batman of Africa" like the solicit copy…riigght?
Morrison spoke to the future of "Batman Incorporated" as the new volume debuting in the months ahead will reveal the identity of the villain who's been behind Leviathan. The series will also wrap the work he's been doing "for the past six years or the past six hundred years…I can promise tears and tears and TEARS!" The writer promised Robin would be a big part of the book as well.
Um. That's an odd way to promote your book's finale.
A fan asked how they decided what to keep and what to set aside when doing the relaunch. Winick joked that it was "totally random" and that they just threw things up in the air and grabbed pieces to keep.
That would actually be a more believable explanation.
Lobdell said that the choice to put together Starfire and the Red Hood was confusing to him when Editorial presented it to him, but "When you see it on the screen, it looks like they've been together their whole lives
That creativity by editorial committee thing…
Snyder was asked where his ideas for creepy villains like Jim Gordon's son, and he said, "I don't know. I play with my kid, and then I go off and write James, Jr." He joked that he grew up near a video store that stocked lots of horror movies, and while they wouldn't rent them to kids at the store, they would deliver. "What 'Detective' is about is breaking Dick Grayson down and showing him how dark Gotham can really be." Snyder promised the finale of the arc will be as dark as anything they've done on the book. "The final panel of [the last issue] is probably the most twisted image of the entire series."
Stuff like this is why I avoid the Bat books.
Asked how decisions were made in the New 52 as far as which characters would be de-aged or have their timelines changed, Marts joked "We've got a mini series coming out called 'The Physics of the DC Universe'" before saying that for now, their focus is on telling cool stories in the present.
Pay no attention to how any of this works, just look at the shiny! It's been obvious for a while that the writers haven't been read in on management's choices.
Winick explained that Batwing earned his own title because of all the "Batman Incorporated" characters because "We liked him the best…we think he's a great character, and I think a lot of the other 'Batman Incorporated' characters will be seen."
I'm not reading Batman Inc., but I really loved Squire's guest appearance in Batgirl. Is Batwing really more deserving of a solo title than Black Bat?
When a young boy asked how many Robins there have been, the response of "four" from the panel prompted a young woman dressed in Batgirl costume to ask whether with the return of Barbara Gordon as Batgirl there would be a "Batgirl Incorporated" book with Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown and other female characters. Simone said they were discussing things on that front this weekend, and that fans should not worry about Stephanie Brown being lost to the DCU. Simone said that supporting character Detective Gage could "maybe" appear in the new "Batgirl" series.
5 Robins! 5! Whoever that Batgirl cosplayer was, THANK YOU. Looking forward to hearing more about Cass and Steph this weekend.
Finally, a fan asked how much leeway Morrison had writing the franchise, and he said, "These guys come in with guns and say to me 'This is what we're doing!'" before honestly answering that he's been writing for so long that he knows how to tell stories that are exciting that still fit within DC's plans for Batman and can feed into what the other writers do.
Wow. I'm genuinely surprised that Morrison is as constrained as every other writer (or close). I really thought they'd given him free rein on both Batman and Superman. Sounds like that's not the case – these decisions really are all top down.
Cover image for Batman Incorporated #9, August 2011
Burnham called "Batman Incorporated" a dream book before Morrison jumped in when the image of Batman punching a schoolgirl in the face appeared on screen to cry out "It's two-fisted justice the way you expect it!"
What is WRONG with these people? I don't care if she's really a demon or some other nonsense, Batman SHOULD NOT BE PUNCHING GIRLS IN THE FACE. EVER.

    return 0;
}

This error I received:
error: 'class std::future<int>' has no member named 'eval'

I want to change the program so that expressions are evaluated in a parallel fashion. But I'm stuck with the future implementation, I do not quite understand how it works. Well, I understands how it works but I don't understand why I'm receiving these errors.
I hope some one can give me some tips or point me in the right direction.

A: You're trying to invoke a virtual member function as an async, but not properly providing the object to pin it against. Further, your use of same-id local vars, while not directly introducing an error, makes this incredibly hard to read.
I believe this is what you're shooting for:
auto eLeft = std::async(std::launch::async, std::bind(&Tree::eval, &this->left));
auto eRight = std::async(std::launch::async, std::bind(&Tree::eval, &this->right));
return (eLeft.get() - eRight.get());

Though, to be completely honest, this seems overkill. I see no sense in spinning up two asyncs just to then wait on both. Why not spin up one, then use the current thread to perform the other half of of your task:
auto eRight = std::async(std::launch::async, std::bind(&Tree::eval, &this->right));
return (left.eval() - eRight.get());

A: The parameter to std::async is a function (or more precisely, a Callable).
In particular, you do not invoke the function yourself (which would yield the return value). Invoking is done by std::async.
So these lines:
future<int> left = async(launch::async, left.eval());
future<int> right = async(launch::async, right.eval());

Should instead read something like:
 future<int> left_result = std::async(launch::async, [this]() { return left.eval(); });
 future<int> right_result = std::async(launch::async, [this]() { return right.eval(); });

Note that the function call is now wrapped in a lambda. Note also that you also reused the names for left and right in your original code, which is more trouble. I renamed them here to make it work.
As usual, since you now have concurrency in your program, you need to care about data races . Currently this seems to be fine, as all nodes in the tree are distinct, so the async calls don't share any data with each other. But keep it in mind for any future changes.


California was the first state to impose an all-out ban on single-use plastic bags in the U.S., but the initiative is not a California invention. All over the world, a referendum on the plastic bag is becoming more and more popular. Scotland's plastic bag ban prevented 650 million bags from entering the waste stream in its first year. In Ireland, a high tax on bags caused a 90 percent reduction in their use.
And while the implementation of the Golden State's ban is in flux (an injunction forced a re-vote, which places it on the ballot in Nov. 2016), Hawaii went ahead and became the first state to actually start an all-out ban.
Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA), a congressman from Long Beach, has just introduced the Trash Reduction Act of 2015, which would take steps to dramatically reduce plastic pollution nationwide.
Lowenthal's bill would place a minimum 10-cent fee on each bag provided by retailers to carry out groceries and other purchased items; permit retailers to retain 4 cents per bag if they have a qualifying recycling program; allow limited reusable bag giveaways for promotional reasons; and, transfer funds raised by the fee to the Land and Water Conservation Fund to support projects that protect and conserve the environment.
Americans use approximately 100 billion plastic bags each year. The vast majority of these wind up in landfills or as loose trash on land and water.
"Americans for the most part all agree that a clean environment is better for us as individuals and better not just for our children, but for all future generations. Being sustainable today is an investment in a cleaner and healthier tomorrow," Lowenthal said in a statement.
Studies have consistently shown that the best solution to excessive plastic bag trash is to place a nominal fee on single-use carryout bags. Local governments in both the United States and around the world have enacted per-bag charges which have resulted in dramatic (60-90 percent) reductions in the number of bags used.
The congressman's bill would keep thousands of tons of plastic pollution out of our water, land, and landfills each year. To date, 210 municipalities in the United States, spanning 17 states plus the District of Columbia, have adopted carryout bag ordinances.
Co-sponsors of the bill include Representatives Don Beyer (VA-08), Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), Sam Farr (CA-20), Mike Honda (CA-17), Barbara Lee (CA-13), and Ted Lieu (CA-33).

Sunil Chhetri's clarion call to football fans to head to the Mumbai Football Arena to watch India play in the Intercontinental Cup seems to have worked wonders. With hours to go before India face Kenya in their second match of the friendly tournament, the stadium has been sold out. There were quite a few empty pockets during India's first match – a 5-0 thrashing of Chinese Taipei. But unlike them, the Kenyans may have to deal with a full house.
The match also marks Chhetri's 100th appearance for India. After their match against Chinese Taipei, Chhetri put out a heartfelt message to "all those that didn't come" to watch the match.
"All those from across the country who came to Mumbai to support us – amazing. All the fans from Mumbai who came and watched us, thank you so much for the encouragement. It means the world to us," said the Indian captain. "But today I am not making a video for you guys. I am gonna speak and appeal to all of you who did not come. To everyone who is not a football fan, please come and watch us for two reasons. No. 1 – it's the best game in the world and No. 2 – we play for our country. We will make sure that once you come to watch us, you will not return the same person back home."
This is nothing but a small plea from me to you. Take out a little time and give me a listen. pic.twitter.com/fcOA3qPH8i
— Sunil Chhetri (@chetrisunil11) 2 June 2018
Chhetri went on to admit that the level of football that may be on offer in Mumbai is "not even close" to what might be seen in big matches from the European leagues.
"But with our desire and determination, we will try our best to make it worth your time," he said.
Chhetri's video went viral with Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar being among those who retweeted him or posted their own videos in support.

Mt. Rainier National Park (1st Visit).
We are driving into the mountains on scenic WA 12, immersing ourselves in a place of unbelievable beauty, even though we can't see much of it. The smoke thickens as we drive deeper into the mountains, and visibility is about 1/4 mile. Just before we lose cell service, we look at an interactive wildfire map and see there is a large fire burning in the Wenatchee National Forest just south of the park. Is this the disturbing new normal in the western U.S.?
After a super-fun visit with family in Salt Lake City and "inside time" away from the tent, (not many pictures taken, I'll combine in a post with our second visit to SLC in October), we are on the road again. This is our second re-route of the trip. Our visit to Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier are cut from this trip due to a wildfire in Glacier National Park that has the Western half of the park closed.
So many fires are burning, the smoke hangs heavy in the sky from the time that we leave SLC. After more than 10 hours of driving and no energy to set up camp, we splurge for a hotel in Prosser, WA – a surprisingly expensive place to stop. The air quality in the Pacific Northwest is it's worst in modern history. Watching the Seattle Mariner's game, one can actually see the particulates in the air, and we wonder how an outfielder can even see a fly ball coming. Realizing that visibility is so poor that we won't be able to see any mountains or city vistas, we decide we will spend one night in low elevation at Mt. Rainier National Park now then head for the coast, where offshore winds have started clearing skies.
Luckily we arrive early enough to find a large campsite at the Ohanapecosh Campground on the south side of the park. Camping below towering Douglas fir, western red cedar, and western hemlocks is a special experience.
We day hike through old growth forest via the Silver Falls trail, connect with the East Side trail, and through the Grove of the Patriarchs, where the biggest of these evergreen trees live. We are blown away by the age, size, and character of these monster trees.
A traffic backup at the swinging bridge on the hike back gives us the idea to instead cross the crystal-clear, shallow river.
Robert goes first, but about 3/4 the way over says his legs are so numb that he almost froze in place. I play it safe and stand in line to cross the bridge, but later wish I'd braved the icy river.
Silver Falls is spectacular. For scale, that tiny orange dot at the top of the falls is a man.
One night is not enough in this park. We reluctantly leave the next day but plan to return in clearer skies in a couple of weeks to see the northern, higher elevation side of the park and views of Mt. Rainier.
Sidenote: We drove through Idaho Falls en route, and the city looks quite interesting for a future visit (our intended stay in Idaho was also nixed due to smoke, evident in the pictures below). Kayakers float the Snake river deep in the canyon, and base jumpers come from all over the world to jump the Perrine bridge.
The Idaho Falls stop was prompted by Robert's childhood memory of Evel Kneivel's (failed) attempt to jump over the Snake River. The dirt jump ramp is still there and visible, about a mile from the Perrine Bridge. Oddly, Evel Knievel will become a theme that repeats itself a number of times in our travels.
Mt Rainer is on my bucket list. You got some beautiful pictures!
Thanks – it's such a beautiful place! We returned to Mt. Rainer in September, camped in the White River Campground and did several more hikes. Third Burroughs (from Sunrise area) was a challenge but the best hike I've ever taken. I'm way behind on blogging but will get around to that post eventually. Of all of the parks we've visited, Mt. Ranier is my favorite and along with Olympic makes me want to move to Washington!


If you're who we think you are, you might never take these boots off. They're groovy, soft to pull on, melt into your feet like your favorite old pair of jeans, and feel like sneakers. They're perfect with skinnies all weekend, and throw some cool attitude on a weekday dress and tights. Do not miss this!

Home News Report from the court with Igor - The first court since the FENIX started
Report from the court with Igor – The first court since the FENIX started
admin May 20, 2016 repression
It has been just over a year since the police operation 'Fenix' became known to the people of Czech Republic. Just over 1 Year since the 1st arrests were made, of which Martin still remains on remand in custodial prison as a result of what appears to be entrapment. People are still being bullied, pursued and repressed on a daily basis. On 26 & 27 April was the first trial since the repression began (to our knowledge). The case of Igor Shevstov, who was accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at
the house of defense minister Stropnický, and for filming somebody graffiti the prison. He was looking at 15 years imprisonment, on top of the 3 months already served in custodial prison (remand), where he was kept under maximum security for part of the time. (read more under the Igor tab on antifenix.noblogs.org)
The Court room held the first major public display of this farce, also known as Fenix.
The trial was held in a small room, accessible to 18 people only, the majority of which were journalists. This did not prevent supporters of Igor gathering in the corridor and outside the courthouse.
After the charges were read out, the damning evidence came out. Of all the digital and printed evidence the police collected in this investigation, the judge pulled out a photo which was found on Igor's mobile phone, a picture of his foot on a doormat of the USA flag. When questioned about why he saved this picture, Igor replied "I thought it was funny". At this point it became clear that the prosecution were going to prey on Igor's Russian origins as a motive for the alleged Molotov attack on the Stropnický house. – To explain, Stropnickys undying love for the west makes him a target for any Russian! In this case, Russian translates as Pro-Putin/anti-west. Igor was portrayed in the media as a crazy Russian nationalist after his arrest. The great
contradiction here is that in Russia Igor was prosecuted for unannounced demonstrations against the Russian occupation of the Crimea and against Putin's imperialist government. And as he explained in his closing speech, simply being Russian does not automatically make you pro-Russian/some kind of Russian nationalist.
The next laugh in the courtroom was the judges interest in Igor's
tattoos, namely the ACAB on his neck. The room erupted in laughter at his explanation. It wasn't the last time the judge had to settle the crowds laughter.
It came as no surprise, but it still bites. The contradiction. One rule for Igor, another for Stropnicky. Like many anarchists before, Igor was forbidden to use any political argument in his defense. When Stropnický took to the stand, he completely utilized his freedom, with a mixture of politics, fear and slander, he created a monster out of Igor, exclaiming
that since the defendant moved to the Czech Republic he felt a great radicalization of society, with increased hatred from the left and the right. He referred to the alleged Molotov attack as an assassination (the media's sensationalized term for this case) and basically said Igor's presence in the country attributed to the rise of so called Rightist, Leftist and fundamentalist extremism. Stropnický was also the only person in the court room to openly claim to know how to make a Molotov cocktail, as learnt from an anarchist website, he described why the bottle did not ignite correctly and went on to say that his house would have been burnt to ashes in seconds had the molotovs been a success. Interesting.
What else.
Martin Stropnický and His wife Veronika Stropnická spoke of how the attack was clearly aiming for their daughters room, as though anarchists make a habit of attacking children. It is worth noting at this point that a collage containing photos of the daughters with black crosses over their faces came to the family. The family for some reason don't think that the photos and the attack are connected. Police said they actually had some person, which was saying, that he had experience making Molotov cocktails and working for the Bernard beer company (Molotov cocktails were made out of Bernard bottles). And it was the
person, who was sending letters to Stropnicky. Police then said that this person is not suspicious and sent him to the psychiatric hospital.
The prosecution's main evidence was the alleged scent match between Igor and the Molotov bottles. The defense requested an expert from the scientific sector on odor to testify, since this kind of evidence is seen as untrustworthy, this request was however rejected by the judge.
In defense.
Interestingly, it is facebook which was used in Igor's defense. At the time of the attack, Igor was using facebook to communicate with his partner while being in the student club. The judge claimed that the conversations were untrustworthy and doubted the claim, since the Facebook ID is not identical to Igor's name, and therefore it could be anybody writing there. However, to use this against Igor the prosecution should collect data, logs, and match it against Igor's personal style of
communication, like an old fashioned handwriting test perhaps. This of course did not happen.
The Graffiti.
The prison officer brought forward the bill to repair the graffitied external prison walls.
The graffiti apparently appeared because Igor was filming it.
The invoice was 6267Kč (approx €230). 3 points worth noting, first, the purchase of materials to repair the graffiti sprayed in May 2015 took place in March 2015, secondly it was necessary to reimburse several prisoners for 96 hours of work repairing an 8.5 m2 wall. And finally the inscription "Free Nationalists" which had been there long before the event, was also cleaned and pegged on Igor's Bill. However, the court said that Igor does not have to pay this, because there were some mistakes in the prison's protocols about damage, they shit their own bureaucracy.
The Verdict.
13.00, 27 April 2016 the verdict was announced. The Court ruled that Igor Shevstov was not to blame for the attack on the Minister of Defense's house. However the judge stressed that its not because it was proved that he didn't do it, but because unfortunately they failed to prove that he did do it!
The second paragraph of the indictment; assistance in the offense of the destruction of foreign affairs (filming the graffiti). Igor was found guilty and sentenced to deportation form Czech Republic for two years, and that he must leave within 20 days. However He will appeal the decision, so he doesn't have to leave. For now.
The camera was also forfeited to the state.
The Explanation.
The camera operator was clearly looking right and left, and thus
physically assisting the accomplices who sprayed the graffiti.
As well as, psychologically supporting "accomplices", which means
putting up slogans in support of the people inside the prison.
Igor supposedly has no ties in Czech, no facilities or a proper visa and so the punishment of expulsion was seen as the most appropriate. The Judge failed to mention the three months Igor already spent in jail for no reason, the fact that he lost his student visa because of it, and the numerous friends he has in Czech Republic. Igor has asked for a work visa, which is giving him the right to stay in Czech until the state will most probably refuse it.
The judgment is clearly influenced by political opinion. Being exiled for two years (in Russia!) for filming somebody graffiti and for not respecting local democracy, was the best way to get rid of Igor.
The Judge did not take into account the fact that Igor had already spent three months in remand prison, for no reason, without being able to contact his loved ones.
One does not have to be an anarchist to understand why Igor dislikes "our" democracy. Just as we do not have to be from Russia to dislike the democratic states. And it is not because we want Putin's dictatorship, (how the police, courts and the media seem to see it), but because it is still based on a regime of inequality and exclusion held by institutions and the market.
Igor himself said after the verdict that "the whole process is just politicized and the state is a dehumanized bureaucratic machine, not able to perceive real people's bounds and interests". This received an agreeing applause, after which the judge said that it is really the last time, otherwise she will expel the whole back row.
