This variant of "The Eleven-Card Trick" was first devised by Gene Gordon and marketed by him as "The Dizzy Dollar" no later than 1958 (see The Linking Ring, Vol. 38 No. 2, Apr. 1958, p. 139). The routine is included in Gene Gordon's Magical Legacy by Gordon and David Ginn, 1980, p. 272. Gordon gives Edward Victor's "Eleven-Card Trick" as the basis for his routine using bills.
The "Eleven-Bill Trick" was popularized by Fred Kaps and is frequently credited as his adaptation of the Victor "Eleven-Card Trick". Kaps is said to have learned Victor's routine from Michael Skinner at the 1974 Convention at Monte Carlo, organized by IBM 190. If Kaps did not also learn of Gordon's "Dizzy Dollar", he seems to have reinvented it from the Victor routine, following the same route Gordon did.

The COVID-19 pandemic not only brought on healthcare and economic crises, it has also radically exacerbated the world's ongoing food security, nutrition, and climate crises. At the same time, the outbreak is deeply connected to today's fragile food systems that degrade the environment through unsustainable land-use. As broken food systems push human, animal, and planetary health to their limits, policymakers and public health professionals alike must change the discourse surrounding food systems and come together so that transformative change and health are put at the centre of the pandemic recovery agenda.
In this session, experts from across the health and food communities will explore how a new narrative about food systems can be used to stimulate action and drive decision-makers towards making commitments, from policies to investments, that deliver on better health outcomes for people, animals, and the planet. Following on the heels of the Seventy-fourth World Health Assembly (24 May – 1 June), attendees of this event will gain a deeper understanding of intersection points across the health-food nexus, identifying where targeted, multi-stakeholder action could take place and create a multiplier effect across the Sustainable Development Goals.
Now, more than ever, a systemic narrative about food and health must be reflected in the language of intersecting and aligned global processes – such as the G7, G20, UNFSS, COP26, and Nutrition for Growth. Co-hosted by the World Health Organization, EAT, and the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, the outcomes of this independent dialogue will be documented and submitted formally as an input to the 2021 UNFSS later this year.
This event aims to:
Promote health and food systems resilience as critical to COVID-19 recovery
Communicate why we need new food systems narratives centered around upholding human, ecological, and animal health (i.e., One Health) and why dominant narratives are undermining all three dimensions of health as well as the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic;
Catalyze support for an integrated, holistic approach to policy reform and coordinated action across food and health sectors, exploring opportunities for health and food system actors to work together for policy and practice reform
Using case studies from around the world, showcase how government leaders, the health sector and other food system actors have designed policies and practices that have delivered better health and sustainability outcomes for all.

Complimentary wireless Internet access keeps you connected, and cable programming is available for your entertainment. Conveniences include desks and coffee/tea makers, and you can also request cribs/infant beds (surcharge).


Cheap recipe alert. Eggs…not just for breakfast.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange the bread cubes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then scatter the tomatoes, cheese and chopped herbs on top. Pour the milk and egg mixture over top of the breads, pressing down to submerge everything completely. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least a few hours — preferably overnight — to allow the breads to soak up all the milk. To bake, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350º F. Bake the strata uncovered until puffed and golden, and a knife inserted into its center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut the strata into squares and serve.
Frugal Family Alert! This can be super economical! I make strata variations often. You can use spinach, parmesan cheese and tomatoes for an Italian inspired strata or olives, feta and onions for a Greek inspired one. You can also substitute and chop canned diced tomatoes into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and eggs. Grease a cookie sheet. Place as many slices of bread as will fit on your cookie sheet; reserve the remainder for another use. Pour milk mixture over bread pressing down bread with fork to soak in. Flip bread to other side. Cover with saran wrap and place in the fridge overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle tops of french toast with blueberries. Bake for 25 minutes, or until nicely browned. Serve with maple syrup and powdered sugar.
Frugal Family Alert! This is perfect for those day old loaves of French bread you can buy for less than a dollar at the market. Use frozen berries like I did, if fresh are too expensive.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the bread into 1/3-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread in a single layer on a baking pan until golden (2-3 minutes) Fill a medium stock pot with water and bring to boil. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, red pepper and salt and cook until onion is brown. Remove skillet from heat and add parsely, capers, and lemon zest. Add about 2 tablespoons salt to the boiling water, add the pasta, and cook until al dente – about 8 minutes. Drain, reserve 3 tablespoons of water. Slowly whisk the reserved pasta water into the egg yolks and remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the egg mixture and spaghetti to the skillet. Toss and combine and cook over low heat until warmed through – 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to large serving bowl. Top with parmesan and the croutons and serve immediately.

Mayor of Medellín Federico Gutiérrez calls for Latin American cities to embrace zero emission transport and lead the world on climate action
Mayor Federico Gutiérrez hosts World Cities Summit in Medellín, and calls upon all Latin American cities to accelerate progress on air quality and zero emission transportation
Rio de Janeiro and Santiago announce commitment to procure only zero-emission buses from 2025 and ensure a major area of the city is zero emission by 2030, joining 26 other cities worldwide in the declaration
Read this release in Spanish.
Medellín (10 July 2019) — At the World Cities Summit in Medellín today, Mayor Federico Gutiérrez called upon all Latin American cities to drive forward progress on sustainable transport and clean up the air for their citizens.
Mr Federico Gutiérrez, Mayor of Medellin, said:
"Our citizens have the right to breathe cleaner and healthier air. As mayors, we are entrusted with the responsibility to reduce pollutant emissions in our territories. This is an invitation to all Latin American cities to join us on this journey. So together, we implement zero-emissions transportation systems and strategies that lead us to a cleaner future."
This call to action comes as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Santiago, Chile announced their commitment to the C40 Green and Healthy Streets Declaration. The cities join 26 others including Medellín, Quito and Mexico City in committing to procure only zero-emission buses from 2025, ensure that a major area of the city is zero emission by 2030, and support walking and cycling. The policies are designed to fight air pollution, improve the quality of life for all citizens, and help take more climate action.
If all C40 cities meet the commitments of the Green & Healthy Streets Declaration and encourage more people out of their cars, it could prevent more than 45,000 premature deaths each year.
64 new electric buses will be on the streets of Medelliín by August 2019, creating the largest fleet of electric buses in Colombia.
Santiago is already a world leader in electric transport, now home to over 200 zero emissions buses on the streets of the Metropolitan Region and with 183 more due to be introduced in August.
In Rio, transport is responsible for one third of all greenhouse gas emissions and over 75% of the highly dangerous pollutants in the air that cause lung and heart disease, early deaths and hospital admissions. Taking action on transport in Rio will vastly improve the public health of citizens and ensure their right to breathe clean air in the city.
Mark Watts, C40 Executive Director, said:
"Air pollution caused by petrol and diesel vehicles is responsible for the early deaths of millions of people in cities around the world. Emissions from these vehicles are also contributing to the climate crisis that threatens us all. By committing to deliver the Green and Healthy Streets for their citizens Medellín, Rio and Santiago are ensuring a healthier and more sustainable future for their citizens, and contributing to the global leadership of mayors in fighting climate breakdown."
Karla Rubilar, Governor of Santiago, said:
"As Regional Government following the clear mandate and roadmap established by President Sebastián Piñera, in the Metropolitan Region we are promoting concrete measures to reduce emissions and to have fossil fuels free streets in our territory. We are driving the entrance of electromobility with a network of electric stations in a public-private association and municipal electric buses financed by our Metropolitan Government, which benefit our neighbors while taking care of the environment. Our public transport network grows every day with more electric buses and electro corridors, and includes the Metro which is already supplied largely with solar energy. Intelligent and new technologies allow implementation of waste to energy, without neglecting the circular economy, recycling and environmental education. Investments in infrastructure for the use of bicycles and other forms of transport provide the inhabitants of Santiago with easy alternatives to the car; just like that. From different perspectives with a common goal, we will all be able to fulfill our dream of a cleaner and more sustainable Metropolitan Region."
Alongside the WCS, the City of Medellín in partnership with C40 Cities and Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) will host a workshop for city officials to explore how cities can deliver sustainable mobility and zero emission areas in their cities.
C40 Cities is working with other Latin American cities to address climate change, including in Bogotá, where the C40 Cities Finance Facility is working with the city to create a brand new 'Quinto Centenario' Bikeway, stretching 25 km and supporting 34,000 bicycle trips during peak hours. Investment in cycling in Bogotá has resulted in more than 150,000 extra trips by bike every day in 2018. Over the past two years, the city's network of bike lanes has increased by 80km.

Q: Solid volume of a cone with triple integrals The question: the solid in the first octant bounded by the cone $$z=1-{\sqrt{{x^2}+{y^2}}}$$ and the plane $$z+y+x=1$$ Find the volume.
I tried multiple different orders but got different answers. I'd appreciate if you can get me thru the steps.

A: Hint. Since for $x,y\geq 0$ with $x^2+y^2\leq 1$,
$$1-{\sqrt{{x^2}+{y^2}}}\geq 1-x-y,$$
it follows that the solid is given by the cone intersected the first octant minus the tetrahedron of vertices $(0,0,0)$, $(1,0,0)$, $(0,1,0)$, $(0,0,1)$. Therefore
$$\mbox{Volume}=\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{1/2}{3}=\frac{\pi-2}{12}.$$
To obtain the same result by using integration, compute
$$\int_{x=0}^1\int_{y=0}^{1-x}\int_{z=1-x-y}^{1-{\sqrt{{x^2}+{y^2}}}}dz dy dx+\int_{x=0}^1\int_{y=1-x}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\int_{z=0}^{1-{\sqrt{{x^2}+{y^2}}}}dz dy dx\\
=\int_{x=0}^1\int_{y=0}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\int_{z=0}^{1-{\sqrt{{x^2}+{y^2}}}}dz dy dx-\int_{x=0}^1\int_{y=0}^{1-x}\int_0^{z=1-x-y}dz dy dx\\
=\int_{\theta=0}^{\pi/2}\int_{\rho=0}^{1}\int_{z=0}^{1-\rho}dz \rho d\rho d\theta-\int_{x=0}^1\int_{y=0}^{1-x}\int_0^{z=1-x-y}dz dy dx\\
=\frac{\pi}{12}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{\pi-2}{12}$$

This is a problem that many a DM has faced, but only one I've run aground of recently. I'm running a campaign with a group of fairly new gamers, and as such they are playing to win. And I mean win at everything. They focus down every target, and considers the personal slaughter of every enemy they run across the utmost of victories. But that's just a normal murder-hobo party.
Player 1: 8+3, so 11!
Player 2: Actually, I'm going to take a look around too!
Player 3: I'd like to as well!
Now, this happens many, many times, and chews up much of our time. Any time that I cut them off from making these checks, about half the group shuts down RP-wise, and the other half just double down on it.
The two most effective so far are the second and last. The second worked because I threw them into an enormous combat afterwards, so they were too focused to become sullen. The last was effective because it demonstrated to them that, as a DM, I might be a bit trickier and might not always make every check important. I consider them effective because the behavior slackened slightly, or at least didn't intensify. Calling out the behavior actually sort of backfired, as it brought the behavior fully into their conscious minds rather than leaving it as subconscious. At one point they even began to plot out the order of taking the checks!
Side note- I accomplished the last one by making them perform checks when nothing was there. So even after a natural 19 on a perception check, they might not discover anything.
I really like this group, and it isn't any one player that is the problem, nor their common murder-hobo mindset. It is how they go about it. As I am used to DMing an experienced group, I am at a loss on how to proceed. In addition, I really like this campaign, so I'm not really looking for answers that would lead to dissolving either the specific group or the campaign.
What I am looking for is how to make this behavior cease while keeping that fresh enthusiasm found so often in new players, rather than them shutting down. Both gameplay and interpersonal solutions are acceptable.
This uses the rules on helping. While in combat it costs an Action to help, it can be done almost freely outside of it, if the situation allows. Since they can usually choose the character with the best modifier to roll, they will rarely think that "I could've done better". It also technically represents the efforts of the whole group, thus everyone has already made their roll as part of it.
If everyone can or must contribute, ask all of them to roll. If at least half of them make it, the group has succeeded. Since the rolls are parallel and not sequential, it will resolve faster. And here everyone literally already made their roll, so it is less likely they demand another.
This is a more specific option that is usually used for Perception and Investigation checks. You basically say that everyone rolls around average (10) and you compare those results (passive scores) to a fixed DC or an opposing roll. This may nip the problem in the bud as no player actually rolls. I would recommend to use it if no action has to be taken in-game to discover something, to represent you have a base chance to notice details of your surroundings. You should decide if in-game actions after such an evaluation can warrant a roll. I usually would allow it, but in your case you could ban it or fall back to one of the general solutions.
My players were also bogging down the game by checking literally everything, just like yours. And like your party, they like to win, so they played quite methodically.
This change had a dramatic effect on the amount of "Me too!" Perception shenanigans by introducing penalties for each failed check in the form of time spent.
Each perception check takes 5 minutes. A wandering monster table roll occurs every 30 minutes (17-20). The chance doubles if no monster has been encountered each consecutive 10 minutes after that. Players learned quickly not to mess around while in dungeons, and work efficiently.
Too many checks lead to random PCs coming up to them and asking them why they're loitering around or acting strangely. Add pressure to the situations by introducing dramatic elements that actively foil/ draw attention to the PC's bizarre behavior.
Ultimately, if your players like winning as much as they do, responding to their checks by adding in-game urgency will incentivize them to gear up and start heading to the objectives.
This strategy also allows players to continue roleplaying and increases dramatic interest (if done right) in most situations that at least move the session along.
If there really is nothing there and there are no stakes that the PCs are under, simply describe their actions and what they see without bias. Some of the most comedic moments I've experienced in a campaign are when I've described an area the PCs are scouring become progressively more disheveled by their OCD antics. If you can learn to have fun with the oddities of your group, the less annoying these behaviors become.

1 My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is [ready] for me.
2 Surely there are mockers with me, and my eye dwells upon their provocation.
3 Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself. Who is there that will strike hands with me?
4 For thou have hid their heart from understanding. Therefore thou shall not exalt [them].
5 He who denounces his friends for a prey, even the eyes of his sons shall fail.
6 But he has made me a byword of the people, and they spit in my face.
7 My eye also is dim because of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir himself up against the profane.
9 Yet the righteous shall hold on his way. And he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
10 But as for you all, come on now again, and I shall not find a wise man among you.
11 My days are past. my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day. The light, [they say], is near to the darkness.
15 where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 It shall go down to the bars of Sheol when once there is rest in the dust.


John Grant (Gary Bond, "Zulu") is a bonded teacher at a one room schoolhouse in Tiboonda, a desolate outpost in the Australian Outback. He can't wait to get back to Sydney for his 6 week Christmas holiday. But, when spending one overnight in the mining town of Bundanyabba, he sees the local gambling scene as his ticket back to civilization. It proves anything but in "Wake in Fright."
Canadian director Ted Kotcheff's ("First Blood," "Weekend at Bernie's") third feature is considered one of the progenitors to Australia's film renaissance of the 70's and 80's despite its initial hostile reception on that continent. The film suggests that, at that time in Australia, a white man was either civilized, which meant rich or enslaved to the Government, or barbaric, a state this film suggests is Aussie's natural, at least in the sun-ravaged Outback. This is all neatly symbolized in the big gambling game which consists of betting on the results of a two-penny toss. It's a 50/50 proposition where 'one of each' doesn't count.
In some ways "Wake in Fright" is like an Australian "Deliverance," except this is one man's journey and he participates in the debauchery and savagery. In other ways, it reminded me of a couple of Vietnam war films. The big Yabba gaming scene which sets everything in motion has a similar tension and hysteria on display as the Russian roulette betting of "The Deer Hunter." Later Grant descends into a nightmarish madness like Colonel Kurtz in "Apocalypse Now," 'the horror' in this case the slaughter of indigenous, if non-human, innocents.
The film begins with an establishing shot of Tiboonda, which consists of a railway platform, that schoolhouse and a ramshackle hotel all abandoned against a dry, barren, baked landscape. It's clear Grant is out of his element and wishes to remain so, but his condescendence is not only noted, but slyly, and nonverbally, remarked upon by hotelier Charlie (John Meillon, "Crocodile Dundee"), anticipating what will happen down the tracks. The train which arrives is like something out of an old Western, with only one passenger car full of beer-guzzling locals. Grant declines to join them. When he check into his hotel in Yabba, the receptionist barely greets him, intent on tracing her face, neck and bosom with wet fingertips in front of an oscillating fan. Maggie Dence ("Look Both Ways") imbues the scene with a sinister wantonness. No sooner has John made his way to the large, packed, local drinking establishment ('Shut the door, we're closed,' yells a patron as we note a sign above the door declaring the establishment cannot operate after 6:30 p.m. Above a clock which shows a time hours later.), than he's aggressively befriended by the sheriff, Jock Crawford (Chips Rafferty, 1962's "Mutiny on the Bounty"), who pushes round after round until John insists he must eat or pass out. During his meal (a $1 steak!), John meets 'Doc' Tydon (Donald Pleasence, "Halloween"), a civilized man looking for his next drink. Jock then introduces him to the penny spin, which John categorizes as 'simplistic' until he realizes he could make the thousand dollar bond that keeps him teaching in undesirable locations. The next morning, as his plane to Sydney leaves, John wakes hung over and utterly flat broke.
Animal lovers should be warned that although Kotcheff killed no kangaroos for his film, he did film a corporate nighttime kangaroo hunt and was encouraged by the Royal Australian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to use the worst of the footage to reveal the atrocities, something he refused to do. It's hard to imagine how much worse what he saw actually was. This footage was edited together with actors, who are also seen in 'hand to hand' combat with a couple of the creatures.
Bond, a kind of poor man's Peter O'Toole, is a sympathetic lead as he's weaned into behavior he had previously disdained with copious amounts of alcohol. Glimpses of the man's interior struggle continue to wink through as his morals debate his need for approval from his new 'friends.' Later, his harsh retort to a ride upset that he won't share a drink is both a confession of self-hatred and condemnation of a lifestyle. Pleasence has never been better as the civilized, educated man who embraces the beast of his livelihood.
Cinematographer Brian West accentuates tiny figures in vast landscape. Blinding sunshine can be felt even in shade. In later goings, extreme close ups magnify John's psychological state. A swinging lamp like the one in "Psycho's" climax is used to obliterate rather than reveal. The film only shows its age with a choppily edited montage used to fill in black-out blanks with horrors previously only imagined. The sound of flies is used prominently, but sparingly, to signify different kinds of rot and John Scott's ("Amores Perros," "Zoolander") terrific score utilizes varied Australian musical influences for evolving emotional effect.
If "Wake in Fright" is missing one essential element of Australian cinema's rebirth, it is Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil, who made his acting debut that same year in Nicolas Roeg's "Walkabout." But "Wake in Fright" only subtly acknowledges the Aborigine, whose culture embraces the environment, instead of the usurpers driven mad by it.
Robin also gives "Wake in Fright" an A-.


We are most vulnerable during illness, and as such we put a tremendous amount of trust into the physicians whom we seek care from. And while it is the physician's duty to perform their job with the utmost in care and professionalism, these doctors can only be as accurate and safe as the tools they use on a daily basis. While many people associate medical malpractice with human error, defective medical devices can also play a significant factor, with product liability issues further complicating the malpractice issue.
On October 8, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a notification to hospitals, CT scan facilities and medical professionals encouraging every facility performing CT imaging to review its CT protocols and be aware of the dose indices normally displayed on the control panel. The notification was prompted by the report of radiation overexposures during CT scans at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. During those overexposure instances, patients receiving CT Scans were exposed to eight times the normal dose of radiation, many of them reporting hair loss following the scans.
Computerized axial tomography scan machines, commonly known as CAT scans (and sometimes abbreviated even further to "CT scans"), are one such device that can lead to severe illness and death if it is not properly handled and calibrated. CAT scans work by producing three-dimensional images of the inside of the human body by using X-rays taken from different viewpoints surrounding the human body. That is, by taking individual X-rays from different vantage points, a three-dimensional composite is created that can show the insides of the human body in a more accurate manner.
During the X-ray process, the individual undergoing the exam is exposed to radiation, which, if emitted from a properly calibrated machine, is not terribly harmful to the human body. While the amount of radiation emitted during CAT scans typically ranges anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 millirems, instances have been recorded where individuals have been exposed to as much as eight times the typical amount of radiation released during a typical CAT scan, particularly those scans used to diagnose strokes. Exposure to such high levels of radiation can greatly increase an individual's chances of developing cancer.
One specific CAT scan device that has been deemed responsible for such increased levels of radiation exposure is manufactured by GE Healthcare, Inc. and GE Healthcare Technologies. These devices allegedly expose individuals to higher levels of radiation than is standard, and as such increase the individual's susceptibility to cancer and other detrimental effects that are caused by radiation poisoning. Radiation poisoning damages organ tissue, which in and of itself can lead to organ failure, not to mention the increased likelihood that an individual will become afflicted with cancer, tumors, or other genetic disorders as the result of severe radiation exposure.
While the CT Scanners from GE have not been labeled as "defective" devices as of the time of this publication, a variety of other medical devices have been known to fail and have been deemed defective by the FDA and/or their manufacturers. For example, certain brands of pacemakers have been recalled, particularly since the devices have been proven to fail at monitoring heart rate, putting the individual dependent on the pacemaker at serious risk. The same can be said of MPRs (Manual Pulmonary Resuscitators), with numerous instances having been reported of the devices failing to generate enough power to sustain their successful operation in helping an individual breathe. Some medical devices have even been known to fail and put individuals at severe risk of serious injury and death simply because their power cords have a propensity to overheat, spark, and ultimately lead to fires. In any event, medical devices can fail for a variety of reasons, including device malfunction, improper use of the medical device, or improper calibration of the medical device.
Panish Shea & Boyle, LLP continues to monitor the situation with improperly calibrated and potentially defective GE CT scan machines and represents clients that have suffered from GE CT Scan radiation exposure in Los Angeles, have sustained injury due to product liability, and has experience litigating cases pertaining to pharmaceutical litigation. If you believe that you have been the victim of radiation poisoning due to an improperly calibrated CAT scan machine, don't hesitate to contact our defective medical device attorneys as soon as possible.

Please call us at 1-877-800-1700 for more information about defective CAT scanners and the damage they may cause unsuspecting patients.
October 16, 2009 By Alan Zarembo (LATIMES.COM) – The hospital's chief executive, Thomas M. Priselac, details reforms made after 206 patients were subjected to overdoses caused by erroneous settings on a CT scanner.
October 14, 2009 By Alan Zarembo (LATIMES.COM) – The dosage — eight times the programmed amount — appeared on technicians' screens during CT scans. Doctors also missed the problem. Experts say blind trust of medical machinery is a growing concern.
October 15, 2009 By WALT BOGDANICH (NYTIMES.COM) – At a time when Americans receive far more diagnostic radiation than ever before, two cases under scrutiny in California – one involving a large, well-known Los Angeles hospital, the other a tiny hospital in the northern part of the state – underscore the risks that powerful CT scans pose when used incorrectly.

Q: React Native Expo Timout Error I'm currently trying to learn react native. I created a project using create-react-native-app. After the project is created, I started npm start on the folder which shows the QR code. I've installed the expo app on my android phone and scanned the code but I'm getting a Uncaught Error: Timed out, no manifest in cache on my expo app and there is no stack trace given.
I've made it work a while ago but somehow its currently not working.
Im using windows 10.
npm 5.6
yarn 1.5.1

A: What I've done to fix it using Ubuntu was (I created my app using create-react-native-app):

*

*open terminal

*execute ifconfig

*find network interface (wlp4s0, in my case)

*execute export REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME="IP_FOUND_BEFORE"

*yarn start

*SUCCESS! Finished building JavaScript bundle in 10069ms

A: Expo only supports the most recent 6 versions, this is because we have to have all the native code for each version on the client and that gets big fast . As of writing this v26 is almost out, that version of the expo client will not support v19 projects. Please make sure that your app is up-to-date by going to the app.json (or exp.json depending on how old your project is ) and checking the version number.
Outside of that, I would also recommend you start your project by calling exp start in the root folder of your project

A: The problem that causes this is having multiple network connections. In my case, I have a virtual network connection which is used by the packager instead of the wifi connection. So basically what's happening is that my phone and my computer uses different connections. I've found a solution here: https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app/issues/598

Q: Find a difficult integral How to find the following intergal:
$$\mathcal{I}_\text{n}:=\int_0^\infty\frac{x^\text{n}}{1+x^2}\space\text{d}x\tag1$$
I've no idea where to start, I've tried integration by parts but it lead not to a closed form.

A: Maybe like so.
Note that:
$$\int_0^{\infty } \exp (-x t) \sin (t) \, dt=\frac{1}{1+x^2}$$
so,
$$\color{red}{\int_0^{\infty } \frac{x^n}{1+x^2} \, dx}=\\\int_0^{\infty } \left(\int_0^{\infty } x^n \exp (-x t) \sin (t) \, dx\right) \, dt=\\\int_0^{\infty } t^{-1-n}
   \Gamma (1+n) \sin (t) \, dt=\\-\Gamma (-n) \Gamma (1+n) \sin \left(\frac{n \pi }{2}\right)=\\\color{red}{\frac{1}{2} \pi  \sec \left(\frac{n \pi }{2}\right)}$$
for: $\color{red}{-1<\Re(n)<1}$
Addition:
$-\Gamma (-n) \Gamma (1+n)=\pi  \csc (n \pi )$

A: I don't have full answer, but I may give an idea by finding pattern and then using Induction.

*

*First, if $n=1$, we have
$$ \int \frac{x}{1+x^{2}}dx = \int \frac{1}{2} \frac{d(1+x^{2})}{dx} dx = \frac{1}{2} \ln(1+x^{2})  $$

*Second, if $n=2$, we have
$$  \int \frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}dx = \int 1 - \frac{1}{1+x^{2}} dx = x - \tan^{-1}(x) $$

*Third, if $n=3$, we have
$$  \int \frac{x^{3}}{1+x^{2}}dx =  x(x-\tan^{-1}(x)) - \int(x-\tan^{-1}(x))dx  $$
Note that $\int \tan^{-1}(x)dx = x \tan^{-1}(x) - \frac{\ln(1+x^{2})}{2} $ (reference)
so we have
$$ \int \frac{x^{3}}{1+x^{2}}dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{\ln(1+x^{2})}{2}  $$

*Fourth, if $n=4$, we have
$$ \int \frac{x^{4}}{1+x^{2}}dx = \int \frac{x^{4}-1+1}{1+x^{2}} dx $$
$$ = \int (x^{2}-1) + \frac{1}{1+x^{2}} dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3} -x + \tan^{-1}(x)$$

*Continue until you found a pattern .....

You can see that when $n=1$ and $n=3$ we have only two types : even
  degree power plus $0.5 \ln(1+x^{2})$. While when $n=2$ and $n=4$, we
  have only two types : odd degree power plus $\tan^{-1}(x)$. You
  could found a pattern here, then use induction to prove it.

Hope this helps.


I've decided that this is one of my new favorite Top Ten Tuesday topics. What a perfect way to round out the year! I love listing my favorite books from the year, but I think I'm even more excited to highlight the authors behind the books. So much hard work and love went into the books before they ever found their way into my heart! Next to each author's name, I've listed the books I read by them this year. In many cases, I fell in love with more than one book by each author (which made it even easier to decide who was going to make it onto this list). Let's discuss!
Of all the authors on my list, I think this one was the biggest surprise for me. I had no intentions of reading All the Truth That's In Me until a blogger I trust convinced me with her review that this book was worth my time. I ended up falling in love with this gorgeous and surprising novel! I'm so impressed with the fact that the book is in second-person and it totally and completely works for the story. I wish more people would give this book a chance, and I really look forward to more from Berry in the future!
I already loved Lauren Graham as an actress, but I'm really so excited that she gets to make this list as an author. I'm always skeptical of celebrity authors, but I was totally charmed by Someday, Someday, Maybe. It may not have been a favorite for everyone, but I just loved so much about these characters and this book! I cannot wait to fall more in love with Franny in her next book, and I can only imagine the trouble she'll get in as she struggle to catch her big break and make a name for herself.
I saw people talking about Throne of Glass, and I immediately dismissed it in my mind. I'm always hesitant to read fantasy, but I think it's time to admit that this year has been the year of fantasy for me. Fantasy is the bomb! Once I decided to read Throne of Glass, I was amazed by how quickly I devoured it. From there I moved to Crown of Midnight and OH MY GOSH Y'ALL I JUST NEED MORE OF THESE BOOKS RIGHT NOW. I may be new to the Maas love, but I consider myself a total fangirl now.
I need to apologize to Katie McGarry for ever thinking I wouldn't like her books. I'm not a romance novel reader, so I wasn't really interested in Pushing the Limits when everyone started buzzing about it because of the publisher. Cassie and Betty finally convinced me to give her books a shot, and now I'm hooked. I love the drama, action, characters and romance in these books! She keeps consistently writing such readable stories, and I can't wait for more!
While I admired the creativity of Cinder, I didn't fall in love with it like the rest of my blogging friends. I liked it, but I wasn't sure if I was going to continue with the series. Well, thank goodness I did because Scarlet had me totally changing my tune! Meyer's incredible characters and thoughtful storytelling took center stage, and I was able to lose myself in the world she'd created. I really admire the way she made these fairy tales and their heroines all her own. I love how big the world is in her books - and how well she manages all the characters within it.
I read Me Before You at the very beginning of the year, and I wondered how any books would fare in comparison for the rest of the year. What a way to start off 2013! I adored her writing and was thrilled when The Girl You Left Behind came out earlier this year. I closed the book knowing for certain that Moyes was definitely one of my new favorite authors. The best part? She's got a pretty big backlist for me to go through!
I absolutely adored Nowhere But Home, and I made it my personal mission to make people read this book. Thankfully, I roped Cassie into the book love and she helped me push this book like nobody's business. I've already purchased two more books by Palmer, and I had the opportunity to interview her with Cassie. It just solidified our love for her! She's funny, smart and writes fantastic characters. Seriously, y'all, read her books!
I started Under the Never Sky, and I wasn't really sure if it was the book for me. Thankfully, encouragement from Magan convinced me to keep reading. And within a few chapters, I realized I was starting to fall in love. Two books and a novella later, and I can confess to be obsessed with Rossi. I absolutely adore her characters and the way she writes. I got to hear her speak at a signing, and I left even more impressed with the thought she puts into her books.
I'm just going to come right out and say it: I want to be best friends with Rainbow Rowell. First of all, her name is the bomb dot com. And her books? They're all smart, funny and quirky. So, basically, they're all amazing. I first fell for Attachments, and I knew from that book alone that I'd have to read anything and everything Rowell writes. Then, I attended her book signing and had to restrain myself from becoming a giddy, giggling mess. She's hilarious AND crazy talented! See why I want her as my friend?
Liza Palmer almost made my list, I loved Nowhere But Home so much as well! I still think about those characters from time to time.
Also, you have me thrilled that I have a copy of Burial Rites waiting for me on my Kindle! I'll have to pick it up soon.
I still think about those characters all the time too! So memorable.
Hope you love Burial Rites. It was such an excellent read!
Maas and Meyer are the only 2 authors I've read books from on your list - and loved them! I'll have to check out some of the others.
You definitely should! Some great authors on here :) Hope you enjoy if you end up reading anything by them!
I've only read books from Sarah J. Maas & Marissa Meyer (two of my favorite authors now), but I really want to read Under the never sky and fangirl!
Yes, you definitely need to read both of those! They were SO good! Under the Never Sky was hard to get into a first, but then I just ended up loving it.
I don't know how I left Veronica Rossi off my list (and the way you did her picture with the image of Aria kind of makes them look really similar, no?). Lauren Graham and Julie Berry are two good picks too. I know I'm being snobby, but I couldn't believe what a talented writer Lauren Graham is!
I was really surprised by Graham, too, so that's not snobby of you to say at all haha!
Rainbow Rowell and Lauren Graham are authors I would like to read. Marissa Meyer also made my list.
You should definitely read both! They are wonderful - although Rainbow Rowell is the one I'd push on you harder because she's seriously so incredibly talented.
Rainbow was such a breath of fresh air this year!
100% agree! Where has she been all our lives?!
Love how you presented this and SO with you on Rainbow.
It makes me really, really happy that Sarah Maas in on this list, because you know I adore her and her books! I'm anticipating more feels from the third Throne of Glass book when it releases next year. As for authors I haven't read on your list? I can't wait to devour Hannah Kent's Burial Rites at some point next year.


When Carol and Stephen first decided to leave Hollywood and move to Malibu they either wanted a home where they could walk to the beach or grow grapes. They happened upon a property that could do both. In 2001 they planted their first vineyard. The property's proximity to the ocean offers the perfect environment for growing their award winning Chardonnay. Realizing soon they would have lots of fruit, Carol bought 100 lbs of Cabernet and made her first wine, with her then 2 1/2 year old daughter in tow, in the kitchen of their house. In 2004, after their first harvest, they moved their winemaking to a custom crush facility and made their first Chardonnay. Since then, they have grown and have been sourcing fruit from Santa Ynez, Malibu and Paso Robles. Their desire is to keep all of their wines from the southern and central coast of California. So much so, that they have now purchased more ranch property up in Paso Robles on the most desired west side, Willow Creak AVA. They are very excited to add Tempranillo, Cabernet, Viogner, Grenache, Syrah, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir and Petit Verdot to their crops.

Travelling can be a great break from the daily grind. There is something refreshing about exploring places and discovering new things that can energize us helping us get back on track or be more productive. For some, two or three days will not cut it. A weeklong vacation should do the trick. There are several ways to make sure your long-term travel goes as smoothly as possible.
The onslaught of digital technology and media has encouraged a string of digital nomads. People can now work virtually anywhere so long as they can stay connected. This has also allowed people to explore as many places as possible. Along with this rising trend, airlines have also started offering more affordable airfares realizing many people's dreams. Whereas the benefits of long-term traveling cannot be disputed, it does have its share of challenges. Understanding how to pack, travel and budget are some of the basic requirements to ensure your vacation is as enjoyable.
Move Slowly but Surely: Many people think that they have to make the most out of their vacations by moving fast. It will not be a worthwhile travel. Moving too fast can be exhausting for everyone especially for children. Whether you are on a family vacation or alone, it is best to slow it down according to the Lonely Planet. Always makes sure there is a time for relaxing between the late nights or early mornings. This also gives you enough time and experience to savor the break and learn about your current destination.
Sticking to a gradual pace will also help you secure everything before you go on travel. For instance, you can figure out what to do to keep your home safe while on travel. You still have your responsibilities even when on vacation. Especially if everyone in the household will be coming on board then house safety and security should be addressed with a careful approach.
Packing Light and Professional: Always pack like you are a professional traveler - keep it light. The Lonely Planet travel tips note that although most people are aware of this, it has been greatly underestimated. Long-term travelers should invest on a lightweight backpack. There are many reputable stores offering more innovative designs. Avoid packing toiletries or other supplies easily bought anywhere.
Check accommodations as most of these facilities offer your basic toiletries. A few shampoos, soaps and lotions out of the knapsack can ease the weight. Packing cubes are most helpful when separating clothes from other items. This helps travelers avoid taking out everything out of the bag for a single shirt.
Just like professionals, plan and check schedule ahead. Knowing where you will go and what types of places you will explore can help differentiate the right clothing to pack for the trip. This avoids dragging as many outfits as possible to pick on the spot. Be precise and definitive about the schedule and itinerary. This does not mean you should lose out on spontaneity. You can always pack one or two casual or versatile outfits that can double in one of your planned days. This helps you save luggage space and weight.
Mind Your Dinner and Drinks: Drinking to your heart's content on the first chance of travel might sound exciting but it does not offer long-term effects. Drinking excess throughout the trip can rub you off of other experiences. Drink to unwind but make tabs on the number according to Backpacking Matt. Too much alcohol can lead to an unproductive trip and an unhealthier body.
Backpacking is an ideal choice for those looking to save on their travel without sacrificing the experience. Backpacking Matt shares that one of the primary components to an enjoyable and successful long-term travel to manage nightly eating habits. While there a certain pull to experiencing the nightly food scene of every town, it is not practical. A bottle of wine or the chef's special is great for the first night but succeeding days do not have to be costly. If your accommodation does not have a kitchen option then going for the smaller shops instead of the primary restaurants can also go a long way. Create a nightly structure to guarantee the travel is not just ideal for your disposition but also your pocket.
Keeping it Affordable: Apart from saving on the dinners when on a travel, knowing how to purchase things is importable. For instance, try to buy bulk groceries before traveling to get discounts. Base the amount of item on how you will use it and not on how you can negotiate the price according to Bootsnall. Jugs of water are more economical than small water bottles. You can purchase a big jug or bottle then refill your water bottle before going out. Look for going rates. Check in with people who look like they have been traveling for some time. You will be surprised at the insider and practical info you can get from them.
If you need to bring home something, send it via sea. It is more affordable although you may have to wait longer. These are just some of the ways to avoid stress or hassle when going for a break for quite some time. Planning ahead of schedule and researching pay off.

The closing arguments in the attempt of the terrorist attack on election day in 2016 were continued In the Podgorica High Court.
A day earlier, Special State Prosecutor Sasa Chedenovic said that he is remaining entirely in accordance with the indictment.
He repeated some of the arguments that witnesses of the accused ones were stating during the proceedings.
The Prosecution of the Special Prosecutor's Office includes two Russians citizens: Eduard Shishmakov and Vladimir Popov, and several Serbian citizens: Milos Jovanovic, Nemanja Ristic, Predrag Bogicevic, Bratislav Dikic, Kristina Hristic, Branka Milic, Milan Dusic, Dragan Maksic and Srboljub Djordjevic.
The indictment also includes leaders of the Democratic Front (DF) Andrija Mandic and Milan Knezevic, as well as Mihailo Cadjenovic, DF driver.
The procedure against the DF interpreter Ananija Nikić is held separate from the others.


I'm a professional freelance photographer here in Seoul Korea and have taught photography at the university level for three years and on base since 2014.

Simply go to this google survey and let me know a few details about yourself so I can email you once a course is created.


The holidays aren't always twinkling lights and smiles. For many, they can be full of stressors. Seeing a relative you don't get along with; processing your first Christmas after a friend's passing; feeling isolated during a time when everyone is with family – the holidays are multifaceted. The winter months are also a heightened time for drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and even suicide.
We sat with Gayle Lodato, senior director of Greater Chattanooga at the Helen Ross McNabb Center, to get tips on how to manage stress during the holiday season. Read her thoughts below.
Donec sed odio dui. Curabitur blandit tempus porttitor.
One of the most important things anyone can do is to take a step back and acknowledge what you're feeling. When you pause to ask yourself what you're feeling and why, you can avoid feeling a loss of control that stress is rooted in. Journaling is a great method for this. It helps you get your feelings out and learn about yourself in a forum with no judgment – a blank piece of paper. It's not healthy to keep those feelings in, so acknowledging them in some way, can be very stress-relieving.
With all the parties and busyness of the holiday season, it can be easy to fall behind on sleep, miss exercise and not take time for yourself. Those things don't set you up well to navigate a stressful season. Also, when it gets dark outside earlier and the weather is colder, it can be hard to stay active. Endorphins are the ultimate stress fighter, and you can still get them during the holiday season if you get creative. Maybe you can integrate short walks into your work day or practice meditation. We hurt ourselves when we forego self-care.
Gifts, food, decorations and more can all add up during the holiday season. I recommend being realistic about your financial situation and making a holiday budget so you don't seed financial stress that will carry over long after the holidays have passed.
Nobody thrives in isolation. If you're feeling alone, stressed or down, find someone you can talk to. This might be a clergy member, friend or counselor. Building a social support system you can rely on will help you navigate holiday stress.
At New Year's, we sing 'Auld Lang Syne,' commemorating 'days gone by.' But, if we're honest, not all of us had a great year, and it's ok to acknowledge that truth. The holidays can make us feel like we need to put on an emotional performance. For New Year's, thinking about resolutions can make us feel inadequate or like we haven't accomplished something we want to do. My advice is to not be too critical of yourself. Instead, count the blessings you do have and recognize that nobody is perfect.
United Way of Greater Chattanooga is a proud supporter of the Helen Ross McNabb Center. If you or someone you know would benefit from mental health support or someone to talk to, visit their website or call 1-800-255-9711.

Stunning Black and White Photos of Tina Turner Taken by Jack Robinson in New York, November 1969
December 06, 2019 1960s, celebrity & famous people, New York, photography, portraits
Tina Turner, wearing a dark crocheted mini-dress, posed in a dynamic studio session in New York City for photographer Jack Robinson on November 25, 1969.
Jack Robinson began his photography career in 1955 after moving to New York City. While working as a freelance fashion photographer he caught the eye of the fashion editor of the New York Times, Carrie Donovan.
His career continued to rise and after four years in New York City he photographed the cover of Life magazine. When Donovan began to work for Vogue, Robinson followed at her request. Thousands of his images appeared in Vogue until he left in 1973.
He took portraits of some of music's biggest legends, such as Tina Turner, Elton John, Joni Mitchell and Crosby Stills Nash and Young. By the early 1970s, he had established himself as one of the leading fashion and portrait photographers in the world.

Director Marshall Neilan brought his cast and crew to Montana for this extravagant re-telling of the famous last stand at Little Big Horn. The surrounding story of a military officer (James Kirkwood) turning into a notorious gunslinger after serving time for a crime he didn't commit is average B-Western melodrama, however. On his way west, Kirkwood saves a young girl (Marjorie Daw) from marauding Indians, and in one of those coincidences found only in the brain of a Hollywood screenwriter, she turns out to be the daughter he never knew he had. With a young and pretty daughter to care for, Kirkwood's gunman redeems himself and dies nobly alongside General Custer (Dwight Crittenden) in that suicidal last stand. Director Neilan, unfortunately, cluttered up his narrative by spending an inordinate time showcasing the tiresome Wesley Barry, a freckled urchin whom no one but Neilan himself much liked.

"Music moves me. It's an essential element of my life--with broad variety."
The music in my studio is an integral companion for creating. Catchy tunes jazz my paintings and I'm drawn to artists who write clever lyrics of ballads and stories. In this series I've been inspired to "paint the lyrics" --the stories. They are my colorful renderings that visually bring the songs to life.

Health, safety and accident prevention: electrical hazards - power source and installation
Guidelines are given on the principal health and safety considerations to ensure safe welding practices and prevent accidents. The hazards associated with the use of electrical equipment are highlighted.
The arc welding circuit
MMA and TIG processes can be either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) whilst MIG is usually only operated with DC. As arc processes need a large current (up to 500 A) but at a relatively low arc voltage (10 to 40V),the high voltage mains supply (230 or 400V) must be reduced. In its basic form, the power source for generating AC comprises a transformer to reduce the mains voltage and increase the current for welding. For generating the DC arc, a rectifier is placed on the secondary side of the mains-fed transformer or alternatively, a motor- or engine-driven generator can be used.
Welding installations
Typical arc welding installations for both single and multi-welder operations are described in HSE guideline No 118, Electrical Safety in Arc Welding. When the welding circuit is connected, the following guidelines should be adopted:
the connection between the power source and the workpiece should be as direct as practicable
use insulated cables and connection devices of adequate current-carrying capacity
extraneous conductive parts should not be used as part of the welding return circuit unless part of the workpiece itself
the current return clamp should be as near to the welding arc as possible
When attaching the welding current and current return cables, it is essential that an efficient contact is achieved between the connection device and the workpiece to prevent overheating and arcing. For example, current and return clamps must be securely attached to 'bright' metal i.e. any rust or primer coatings should be locally removed.
Power source and earthing
The normal practice in the UK has been to provide a separate earth connection to the workpiece, ( Circuit a) so that, in the unlikely event of an insulation breakdown between primary and secondary circuits, the fuses will blow. However, the separate earth connection increases the risk of stray currents which may damage other equipment and conductors.
As modern power sources have been designed to have a much higher level of insulation ( double or reinforced insulation), a separate earth connection is not recommended ( Circuit b).
There is a potential problem in that both designs can often be found in the same welding shop. The newer power source can be identified by the power source's Rating Plate, which indicates it has been manufactured to recent standards e.g. EN 60 974-1 or IEC 974-1.
In very old designs, the welding circuit was sometimes connected internally to the power source enclosure ( Circuit c). However, the danger is that even with the welding return lead disconnected, and a separate earth connection, welding is possible with current flowing through the earth. Because of the risk of damaging protective earth and other connectors, this type of power source is considered to be obsolete and should not be used.
Manufacturer's rating plate
The following symbols are used on the manufacturer's Rating Plate to indicate the type of protection:
Electric shock
In all manual arc welding operations, the principal risk is from electric shock, most likely from contact with bare live parts of the welding circuit. The arc voltage is within the range 10 to 40V, but, as the voltage required to strike the arc may be substantially higher, power sources have an open circuit voltage (OCV), typically up to 80V. Although these voltages appear low compared with the 230V domestic mains supply, work by the International Electrotechnical Commission shows that only voltages below 50V AC or 120V DC are unlikely to be dangerous to healthy people in a dry working environment. In other conditions such as restricted conducting locations or wet surroundings, potentials of 80V AC have been the cause of fatal electric shocks. Devices are available which reduce the open circuit voltage when welding is not being carried out. These voltage reduction devices (VRD) should meet the requirement of BSEN 60974-1.
Appropriate protective clothing such as gloves, boots and overalls will protect the welder from electric shock.
Stray welding currents
A different kind of electrical hazard can arise from stray welding currents which return to the welding transformer by paths other than the welding return lead. For example, although the return is disconnected, welding is possible when the return current flows through:
protective earth (PE) conductors of other electrical equipment, or the power source itself
wire ropes, slings and chains
metal fittings and pipework
bearings in motors
Damage to the PE conductor in particular could mean the equipment is no longer being earthed.
Stray currents may be substantial and comparable with the welding current level where there is poor or faulty insulation of the return lead which may be short- circuited by other conductors. When welding on building structures and pipework installations, the welding return lead should be placed as close as possible to the point of welding. The exception is where the metallic grid, support structure or metallic ship hull is used as part of the welding return circuit.
There is an increased risk of stray currents when welding on structures which have an inherent connection to earth such as ships or pipelines. There could be an unacceptable indirect current return path with damage to conductors if, for example, the current return lead is detached and the circuit becomes open. The recommendations for the electrical distribution systems and earth connections in various situations are described in HS(G) 118.
Safe practice and accident avoidance
Welding equipment should conform to the appropriate standards (as listed at the end of the article); electrode holders that are insulated overall are recommended so no bare metal can be inadvertently touched.
Welding leads and return leads should be insulated and thick enough to carry the current safely; connectors should also be insulated to avoid inadvertent access to live conductors and adequate for the current being carried.
The welding return lead should be connected as near as practicable to the welding arc; metal rails, pipes and frames should not be used as part of the welding circuit unless they are a part of the workpiece itself.
Check the workpiece earthing requirements. When using a double or reinforced insulation power source, stray currents can be avoided by not earthing the workpiece or the welding output circuit.
The welding leads, connection devices and electrode holder or torch should be checked at regular intervals for 'fitness for use'; repair or replace damaged or worn components.
