Fancy (* 7. Juli 1946 in München; eigentlich Manfred Alois Segieth) ist ein deutsch-spanischer Musiker, Sänger und Musikproduzent (Letzteres meist unter dem Namen Tess). In den 1980er Jahren hatte er internationalen Erfolg mit verschiedenen Euro-Disco-Hits.

Leben
Fancy besuchte ein Gymnasium in Dillingen an der Donau und wohnte während dieser Zeit in einem Kloster-Internat. Bereits während seiner Schulzeit spielte er in einer Cover-Band mit dem Namen Mountain Shadows, mit der er Lieder von Cliff Richard coverte. Nach Abschluss des Gymnasiums zog Fancy nach München, um weiter Musik zu machen. Er erlernte den Beruf eines Verlagskaufmanns und arbeitete im Musikverlagswesen, wo er in den 1970er Jahren u. a. Frank Farian kennenlernte.

Karriere
Als Produzent, Arrangeur und Komponist ist Fancy seit den 1970er Jahren bis heute tätig. Unter dem Künstlernamen Tess Teiges sang er auch deutsche Schlager. Nebenbei beschäftigte er sich mit Einrichtungen und Dekorationen für Lokale oder Diskotheken und trat als Parodist bei der Revue La Grande Revue – Sandy, Mandy & Tess sowie als Verwandlungskünstler und Zauberer auf. Fancy suchte immer wieder nach neuen Talenten, die er unter seinem Label Tess Productions produzierte.

In den 1970er Jahren war Fancy unter seinem Namen Tess als Produzent für Hansa Records tätig, u. a. für das Duo Slip mit Harmony, einem Song von Giorgio Moroder. 1984 gelang ihm mit der Single Slice Me Nice der kommerzielle Durchbruch, laut eigener Aussage war Slice Me Nice von Divines Shoot Your Shot inspiriert. 1986 produzierte Fancy unter dem Namen "Ringo" auch eine Coverversion von Shoot Your Shot. Mit den nachfolgenden Veröffentlichungen wie Chinese Eyes, Get Lost Tonight und L. A. D. Y. O. prägte er seinen eigenen Musikstil, der "Maschinen-Beat" wurde zu seinem Markenzeichen. Auch die Tatsache, dass er stets stark geschminkt auftrat, machte ihn unverwechselbar. 1985 war Fancy als einziger deutscher Popsänger und Produzent mit Chinese Eyes und Come Inside in den Jahres-Top-Ten der US Billboard Dance Charts: Top Ten Of The Year 1985. Mit der Hit-Single Bolero war er in Spanien sechs Monate lang Nummer 1, gefolgt von Top-10-Platzierungen in Skandinavien, Niederlande, Belgien, Frankreich und anderen europäischen Ländern.

Seine größten internationalen Erfolge kamen 1986 mit Lady of lce und 1988 mit Flames of Love. 1998 erreichte die LP Best Of Fancy als erste Fetenhits-Kompilation die Media-Control-Charts. In diesem Jahr hatte Fancy gleichzeitig zwei LPs in den deutschen LP-Charts: Best Of Fancy auf Fetenhits, Polygram/Universal und Hitparty auf BMG, Jupiter Records.

Für das Label ZYX Records produzierte Fancy in den 1980er Jahren zahlreiche Titel unter dem Namen Tess, u. a. remixte er 1985 West End Girls von den Pet Shop Boys und produzierte Grant Miller, Paul Mc Douglas oder The Hurricanes. In den 1990ern produzierte er für Siegfried und Roy einige Stücke. Auf dem Album Dreams and Illusions mit der Musik aus der Las-Vegas-Show, für die auch Michael Jackson einen Song beisteuerte, sang Fancy unter dem Künstlernamen Sarmoti den Titel Magic of Your Mind.

Am 18. Februar 2000 nahm Fancy mit dem Lied We Can Move a Mountain am Countdown Grand Prix 2000, der deutschen Vorentscheidung zum Eurovision Song Contest, teil und belegte den fünften Platz. Begleitet wurde er auf der Bühne von Ikenna Amaechi und Gloria Gray.

Im Dezember 2008 erschien das Studioalbum Forever Magic mit einigen neuen Titeln, Coverversionen und vor allem Neuaufnahmen älterer Titel aus den 1990er Jahren. Sein Lied Slice Me Nice wurde 2008 vom deutschen Rapper Frauenarzt zusammen mit DJ Manny Marc und dem Houseproduzenten Alexander Marcus unter dem Titel Florida Lady gecovert. Im April 2014 veröffentlichte Fancy eine Coverversion des Beatles-Klassikers I Should Have Known Better. Juni 2021 veröffentlichte Fancy dann ein neues Studio-Album Masquerade (Les Marionnettes) in Co-Production mit Luis Rodriquez. 2022 folgte das Album "Diamonds Forever - Part 1" mit Neuaufnahmen der großen Hits, erneut produziert von Rodriguez. Fancy gibt bis heute noch Konzerte in z. B. Europa, Russland, Südostasien, Südamerika und den USA.

In den 1980ern trat Fancy regelmäßig in der ZDF Hitparade auf. Er war auch in der Sendung Formel 1, dem ZDF-Fernsehgarten, der Show Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel oder der MDR-Kultsendung Stop & Go zu sehen. Im Jahr 2013 war er neben Pamela Anderson und David Hasselhoff Teilnehmer der Reality Show Promi Big Brother auf Sat.1. Er verließ die Sendung am 25. September 2013.

Fancy ist auch als Buchautor tätig. 1999 erschien seine Biografie der Zauberer Siegfried und Roy: A Life Of Magic. Fancys Buch Life Of Fancy, The Interview erschien im Frühjahr 2019 in vier Sprachen (Englisch, Spanisch, Russisch und Deutsch).

2009 gründete Fancy die Deutsche Tigerstiftung, die sich der Verbesserung der Lebensqualität von Zootigern widmete. Die Stiftung wurde mittlerweile aufgelöst.

Sandbox: May 2004
On May 31, 2004 By Martin Kramer
Road to hell. An American myth is the existence of one Archimedean point, from which the US might transform the Middle East. In the 1990s, it was the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. When that failed, it became regime change in Iraq. Now Gen. (ret.) Anthony Zinni swings back: "I couldn't believe what I was hearing… that the road to Jerusalem led through Baghdad, when just the opposite is true, the road to Baghdad led through Jerusalem. You solve the Middle East peace process, you'd be surprised what kinds of other things will work out." If only. Carter brought peace to Egypt and Israel, and got Khomeini. Clinton shepherded Israelis and Palestinians, and Al-Qaeda emerged. There's no Archimedean point, just Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Mon, May 31 2004 6:00 am
Looting retrospective. Victor Davis Hanson writes: "Shooting looters to restore order and save the Iraqi infrastructure would have saved lives and enraged the world for [only] a day." He's right, but when it mattered he took a nonchalant view. "Much of the looting was no more indiscriminate than what we saw in Los Angeles after the Rodney King Verdict," he wrote in the midst of it. I urged pulling the trigger when it might have turned the tide, the day the looting began in Basra: "Basrans would have been grateful had the British fired warning shots over the heads of looters—and then made an example of a few of them by shooting a tad low. It's a bad start, and reflects too dogmatic an adherence to the 'Iraqi freedom' mantra." The US and Iraq are still paying the price for that ill-timed restraint.
Sun, May 30 2004 6:56 pm
Democracy as AstroTurf. George F. Will writes about the looming retreat from the "Jeffersonian poetry" that's been dominating US foreign policy. En route, he quotes Kansas Republican Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee: "We need to restrain what are growing US messianic instincts—a sort of global social engineering where the United States feels it is both entitled and obligated to promote democracy—by force if necessary… Liberty cannot be laid down like so much AstroTurf." Hear, hear. I've been on the outs with many of my friends since late 2002, for this pointed speech I gave on the perils of democracy promotion. And I dissented again last fall, when Bush delivered his democracy-or-bust address. Now the skeptics' time has come.
Sun, May 30 2004 5:01 am
Hommage à Rodinson. Of the obits for French scholar Maxime Rodinson, I recommend two: Michael Young's in the Beirut Daily Star, and Jean Daniel's in the Nouvel Observateur. Young correctly notes that Rodinson, in his long evolution, didn't end up as a neocon, but Daniel points out, just as correctly, that Rodinson came to affirm the primacy of religious sentiment over nationalism, and the salience of civilizational conflict. An interviewer once asked him the proverbial "Why do they hate us?" question. Rodinson immediately cited the legacy of ancient religious rivalry, and when asked in a follow-up whether it might be due to colonialism, he answered: "It began well before that."
Fri, May 28 2004 4:42 pm
Spring MEQ. It's late, but it's out: the spring issue of the Middle East Quarterly. The table of contents is up on the web, as well as one of the articles, by Patrick Clawson, on the transition in Iraq.
Fri, May 28 2004 4:40 am
Admittedly paranoid. A couple of weeks ago, the Chronicle of Higher Education ran an op-ed by the president of the Modern Language Association (MLA), Robert Scholes, against HR3077. He suggests the law might lead to the government's "bugging a classroom or a faculty office," or "hacking into a faculty member's computer." After all, he tells us, "we live in a world in which paranoia begins to seem almost like a healthy response to certain possibilities." Wrong: that's the world he lives in. If you're paranoid about government, you really shouldn't be taking federal subsidies. Improve your mental health by getting off the dole, and let people with a sense of proportion forge a more productive partnership under Title VI. (For the record: Edward Said served as elected president of the MLA in 1999.)
Thu, May 27 2004 4:16 pm
Sighting in Philly. Traveling friends sent me this photo of my book Ivory Towers on Sand: The Failure of Middle Eastern Studies, displayed with commentary in a bookshop window in Philadelphia. Take a peek. (Thanks, Amy and David.)
Turkey-Israel. The Israeli press today reports on the flap in Israeli-Turkish relations; Turkey may even recall its envoy for consultations. One of the tougher calls in editing the Middle East Quarterly was our decision last fall to publish a piece pointing to weaknesses in the Turkish-Israeli entente. Many friends who helped to build this relationship think that divergences shouldn't be aired. But we did publish the article, and it's the only available guide to the forces that are sending the pendulum back. (At the main link.)
Thu, May 27 2004 5:47 am
The unknown Lewis. The Scotsman runs a profile of Bernard Lewis. "Now 87, Lewis may just be the most important and influential historian in the US and, consequently, in the world." (Actually, Lewis just turned 88.) British treatments of Lewis, a Londoner for his first sixty years, are a rarity. We are told that "he remains comparatively unknown in his native land outside the realm of Middle Eastern specialists and devotees of academic feuds," and that "to British ears, his voice is a reminder of a distant imperial age." But the same tones, to Americans, "signify an old-style English charm and elegance." The Anglo-American aspect deserves deeper analysis, but this isn't bad for a start.
Shaming Arabs. Seymour Hersh on Abu Ghraib: "The notion that Arabs are particularly vulnerable to sexual humiliation became a talking point among pro-war Washington conservatives." Here's a possible source: "A principal technique of child-rearing in the middle-class Arab family is shaming…. The child's physical functions, particularly his sexual functions, become the instruments of control. The child becomes ashamed of his body and its functions…. In the more traditional families, emphasis on ritualistic purity only strengthens the awareness of physical impurity and heightens the feeling of embarrassment associated with the body…. The child's experience of sex is chaotic, painful, and humiliating." Raphael Patai? (See right below.) No, it's Palestinian thinker Hisham Sharabi, here.
Wed, May 26 2004 3:14 pm
The Arab Mind. Is the late Raphael Patai's archaic tome The Arab Mind really the inspiration for an alleged master plan to sexually humiliate detainees at Abu Ghraib prison? So claims Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker. I'm skeptical: The Arab Mind has been an easy and favorite target ever since Edward Said marked it in Orientalism. Alas, many who refuse any generalization about "the Arab mind" don't hesitate to generalize about "the Arab street." Example: "The 'Arab street', proclaimed dormant by Beltway pundits ignorant of the Arab world, is angrier than ever about what is being done to the Palestinians" (Rashid Khalidi). "Arab mind" and "Arab street" rest on the identical premise, even if the first is deemed racist and the second trips off tongues in academe and the media.
Wed, May 26 2004 8:13 am
Rodinson vs. Said. The late Maxime Rodinson (see right below), although a defender of the Palestinian cause, strongly disapproved of Edward Said's attack on Orientalist scholarship. He called Said's Orientalism "a polemic written in a style that was a bit Stalinist," and described Said as "inadequately versed in the practical work of the Orientalists." Said's reply: "The remarks of Maxime Rodinson concerning my work are completely scandalous. But that hardly surprises me from an ex-Stalinist, incapable as he is of understanding the nature of criticism and more generally the critical method." Said had praised Rodinson elsewhere, and the rejection must have stung.
Tue, May 25 2004 12:19 pm
Rodinson no more. Maxime Rodinson, the French scholar of Islam, passed away on Sunday at the age of 89. I briefly profiled him in my introduction to The Jewish Discovery of Islam (scroll down about two-thirds; there is also a photograph of him). I never met Rodinson, and I disliked his politics. But I did invite him to the 1996 Tel Aviv conference marking the 80th birthday of Bernard Lewis, for whom he had an immense respect. He sent me a very kind note explaining that he was too ill to travel, expressing his admiration for Lewis, and adding that he was sorry as he hadn't seen Tel Aviv since the 1940s. He will be cremated in Paris tomorrow.
Bollinger admits. Columbia's president Lee Bollinger, in a newspaper interview, has admitted what I've claimed all along. First: "Everybody in the academy knows Middle Eastern studies have had trouble over the years developing great scholars and teachers." Second: Rashid Khalidi, Columbia's latest hire in the field, "has a particular point of view, pro-Palestinian nationalism." Third, regarding Middle Eastern studies at Columbia, "within the mix of people who are teaching about this area, we are not as comprehensive as we should be." So he's said it: Middle Eastern studies are generally weak, his university's star in the field has a bias, and the overall teaching at Columbia is unbalanced. What's the solution? More to come.
Beinin's new buddies. Stanford's Joel Beinin never passes up a demonstration against Israel's alleged misdeeds. At the main link, you'll find a photo of him speaking at a rally held about ten days ago, as published in the Stanford Daily. I haven't seen a report of what Beinin said, but I do notice that he's speaking next to a large Palestinian flag. Well, not exactly: this is an Islamized version of the Palestinian flag, with the inscription: "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His prophet." It's not exactly the Hamas flag, but it's a variation used by Hamas sympathizers. Beinin seems to have found some new bedfellows. (Hope that isn't a Quran in his hands…)
Sandbox is back. My travels are over, and I'm back at the keyboard. This was a personal trip, so I've nothing to report, except these two things. First, I did get to see four of the Moroccan masterpieces by Matisse at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg—thankfully, they weren't on loan. Second, if you're in Copenhagen, stop by the Royal Library and see its "Treasures," which include fascinating manuscripts and early books from and about the Middle East. Second-best: explore the exhibit's comprehensive website. Through the end of this year.
Gone fishing. Visitors to Sandbox may have noted that postings got a bit thin over the past month. That's what happens when you edit a quarterly journal: at some point, it takes over. And now that another issue of the Middle East Quarterly has been put to bed, I'm outta here on a trip to Scandinavia and Russia. I'll be looking for Matisse's Moroccan masterpieces, swept by revolution into the Hermitage. Expect new postings from May 23. Until then, explore the site and rely on the news feeds.
Truth about HR3077. Jonathan Calt Harris skewers academics for misrepresenting HR3077, over at National Review Online. Academic disinformation about the bill has been challenged time and again at Sandstorm and Sandbox, but the truth always bears repeating.
Edward Said wannabe. Asaf Romirowsky, writing in the New York Sun, takes aim at Joseph Massad, the Edward Said Imitator at Columbia. Massad's project (and best shot at tenure) is to pose as the true heir of the departed icon. The following may be the most self-serving opening of an obituary ever written (by Massad on Said): "'Joseph, are you still sleeping, it's 8am already?' These are the first words I would hear upon picking up the phone three, four times a week. Edward's powerful teasing voice on the other side goading me to emulate his work regimen: 'I have been up since 5:30.'" Got that? Said's first act, most working days, was to phone Joseph Massad. Will this stuff get him tenure at Columbia? We'll see.
Khalidi drives nails. Columbia's Rashid Khalidi is quoted on the impact of the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal: "I'm afraid that this is, in a sense, the last nail in the coffin in the raft of arguments for the Iraq war." Sandbox quoted Khalidi back on March 26: "I really think that the killing of [Sheikh Yasin] may well be the last nail in the coffin of the two-state solution." (That was to Newsweek.) These don't sound like the guarded judgments of a distinguished historian who's taking the long view. They sound like the rushed judgments of a partisan hack who's feeding journalists with sound-bites. Don't be surprised if some of the coffin lids nailed shut by Khalidi pop open. The ideas inside ain't dead yet.
Kramer, follower. Eyal Press in The Nation profiles Daniel Pipes. It's a smear, and I hope Pipes doesn't let it pass. Along the way, Press says that my book Ivory Towers on Sand blamed Edward Said's Orientalism for "leading an entire generation of scholars to look for Western causes of the Middle East's problems rather than confront unsettling internal developments." True. But then Press writes that I was "actually following Pipes himself," who in a 1983 book had defended the traditional Orientalist approach. Not true. If I followed anyone, it was my own teacher, Bernard Lewis. In the Middle East, people don't tolerate sloppiness in genealogy. Neither do I.

The cost of child care is out of reach for low-income families. Therefore, the Florida School Readiness Program offers financial assistance for early education and care to low-income families. It is meant to encourage and aid families in becoming financially self-sufficient. Also, so their young children can be successful. Services vary based on individual needs and range from extended day care to after-school and school-age care in some instances.
Benefits of the School Readiness program:
Prepares young children to start kindergarten.
Helps working families afford quality early care.
Keeps parents working and/or continuing an education.
Helps families become financially independent.
The School Readiness program was first created in 1999. Today, the Florida Office of Early Learning controls the reimbursement of funds, and in partnership with both the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County and the Early Learning Coalition of Osceola County, 4C provides this assistance to Central Florida families.
Apply for School Readiness
There are three specific eligibility requirements for the School Readiness program:
Parents(s) or guardian(s) must be working and/or attending school (college or trade) at least 20 hours a week OR disabled, as determined and documented by a licensed physician.
Gross income must be at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level for family size.
Families must pay a copayment for child care costs (based on income and family size).
School Readiness funds are intended to help income-eligible families. But they may also include recipients of temporary cash assistance who meet federal work requirements; families with at-risk children of abuse, neglect or abandonment; homeless parents, parents who are victims of domestic violence; teenage parents; low-income migrant families or farm workers; or families of children with disabilities and special health care needs.
Watch these videos to learn how to open a Florida Office of Early Learning Family Portal account and how to complete a School Readiness application.

After the storm: Disaster Loan Outreach Centers opening
By Editor | January 2, 2020 | 0
The U.S. Small Business Administration announced Tuesday the opening of Disaster Loan Outreach Centers in Tennessee and Mississippi to assist businesses and residents affected by the remnants of Tropical Storm Olga on Oct. 26, 2019, apply for low-interest disaster loans.
The declaration covers the counties of Decatur, Humphreys, McNairy and Montgomery and the adjacent counties of Benton, Carroll, Cheatham, Chester, Dickson, Hardeman, Hardin, Henderson, Hickman, Houston, Perry, Robertson, Stewart and Wayne in Tennessee; Christian and Todd in Kentucky; and Alcorn in Mississippi.
SBA's customer service representatives will be available at the Disaster Loan Outreach Centers to answer questions about the disaster loan program and help individuals complete their applications. (See bottom of story for Outreach Center locations and times.)
"Businesses and private nonprofit organizations may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace disaster damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets," said SBA's Tennessee District Director LaTanya Channel.
For small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations, the SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance is available regardless of whether the business sustained any physical property damage.
"Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property," said Kem Fleming, center director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.
Eligible mitigation improvements may include a safe room or storm shelter, sump pump, French drain or retaining wall to help protect property and occupants from future damage caused by a similar disaster.
Interest rates are as low as 3.875 percent for businesses, 2.75 percent for nonprofit organizations, and 1.5 percent for homeowners and renters with terms up to 30 years.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application via SBA's secure website at http://DisasterLoan.sba.gov.
Businesses and individuals may also obtain information and loan applications by calling the SBA's Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing), or by emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Loan applications can also be downloaded at www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be returned to a center or mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

In computer science, radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm. It avoids comparison by creating and distributing elements into buckets according to their radix. For elements with more than one significant digit, this bucketing process is repeated for each digit, while preserving the ordering of the prior step, until all digits have been considered. For this reason, radix sort has also been called bucket sort and digital sort.
Radix sort can be applied to data that can be sorted lexicographically, be they integers, words, punch cards, playing cards, or the mail.
Radix sort dates back as far as 1887 to the work of Herman Hollerith on tabulating machines.[1] Radix sorting algorithms came into common use as a way to sort punched cards as early as 1923.[2]
The first memory-efficient computer algorithm for this sorting method was developed in 1954 at MIT by Harold H. Seward. Computerized radix sorts had previously been dismissed as impractical because of the perceived need for variable allocation of buckets of unknown size. Seward's innovation was to use a linear scan to determine the required bucket sizes and offsets beforehand, allowing for a single static allocation of auxiliary memory. The linear scan is closely related to Seward's other algorithm — counting sort.
In the modern era, radix sorts are most commonly applied to collections of binary strings and integers. It has been shown in some benchmarks to be faster than other more general-purpose sorting algorithms, sometimes 50% to three times faster.[3][4][5]
An IBM card sorter performing a radix sort on a large set of punched cards. Cards are fed into a hopper below the operator's chin and are sorted into one of the machine's 13 output baskets, based on the data punched into one column on the cards. The crank near the input hopper is used to move the read head to the next column as the sort progresses. The rack in back holds cards from the previous sorting pass.
Digit order[edit]
Radix sorts can be implemented to start at either the most significant digit (MSD) or least significant digit (LSD). For example, with 1234, one could start with 1 (MSD) or 4 (LSD).
LSD radix sorts typically use the following sorting order: short keys come before longer keys, and then keys of the same length are sorted lexicographically. This coincides with the normal order of integer representations, like the sequence [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. LSD sorts are generally stable sorts.
MSD radix sorts are most suitable for sorting strings or fixed-length integer representations. A sequence like [b, c, e, d, f, g, ba] would be sorted as [b, ba, c, d, e, f, g]. If lexicographic ordering is used to sort variable-length integers in base 10, then numbers from 1 to 10 would be output as [1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], as if the shorter keys were left-justified and padded on the right with blank characters to make the shorter keys as long as the longest key. MSD sorts are not necessarily stable if the original ordering of duplicate keys must always be maintained.
Other than the traversal order, MSD and LSD sorts differ in their handling of variable length input. LSD sorts can group by length, radix sort each group, then concatenate the groups in size order. MSD sorts must effectively 'extend' all shorter keys to the size of the largest key and sort them accordingly, which can be more complicated than the grouping required by LSD.
However, MSD sorts are more amenable to subdivision and recursion. Each bucket created by an MSD step can itself be radix sorted using the next most significant digit, without reference to any other buckets created in the previous step. Once the last digit is reached, concatenating the buckets is all that is required to complete the sort.
Examples[edit]
Least significant digit[edit]
Input list:
[170, 45, 75, 90, 2, 802, 2, 66]
Starting from the rightmost (last) digit, sort the numbers based on that digit:
[{170, 90}, {2, 802, 2}, {45, 75}, {66}]
Sorting by the next left digit:
[{02, 802, 02}, {45}, {66}, {170, 75}, {90}]
Notice that an implicit digit 0 is prepended for the two 2s so that 802 maintains its position between them.
And finally by the leftmost digit:
[{002, 002, 045, 066, 075, 090}, {170}, {802}]
Notice that a 0 is prepended to all of the 1- or 2-digit numbers.
Each step requires just a single pass over the data, since each item can be placed in its bucket without comparison with any other element.
Some radix sort implementations allocate space for buckets by first counting the number of keys that belong in each bucket before moving keys into those buckets. The number of times that each digit occurs is stored in an array.
Although it is always possible to pre-determine the bucket boundaries using counts, some implementations opt to use dynamic memory allocation instead.
Most significant digit, forward recursive[edit]
Input list, fixed width numeric strings with leading zeros:
[170, 045, 075, 025, 002, 024, 802, 066]
First digit, with brackets indicating buckets:
Notice that 170 and 802 are already complete because they are all that remain in their buckets, so no further recursion is needed
Next digit:
[{ {002}, {025, 024}, {045}, {066}, {075} }, 170, 802]
Final digit:
[ 002, { {024}, {025} }, 045, 066, 075 , 170, 802]
All that remains is concatenation:
Complexity and performance[edit]
Radix sort operates in O ( n w ) {\displaystyle O(nw)} time, where n {\displaystyle n} is the number of keys, and w {\displaystyle w} is the key length. LSD variants can achieve a lower bound for w {\displaystyle w} of 'average key length' when splitting variable length keys into groups as discussed above.
Optimized radix sorts can be very fast when working in a domain that suits them.[6] They are constrained to lexicographic data, but for many practical applications this is not a limitation. Large key sizes can hinder LSD implementations when the induced number of passes becomes the bottleneck.[2]
Specialized variants[edit]
In-place MSD radix sort implementations[edit]
Binary MSD radix sort, also called binary quicksort, can be implemented in-place by splitting the input array into two bins - the 0s bin and the 1s bin. The 0s bin is grown from the beginning of the array, whereas the 1s bin is grown from the end of the array. The 0s bin boundary is placed before the first array element. The 1s bin boundary is placed after the last array element. The most significant bit of the first array element is examined. If this bit is a 1, then the first element is swapped with the element in front of the 1s bin boundary (the last element of the array), and the 1s bin is grown by one element by decrementing the 1s boundary array index. If this bit is a 0, then the first element remains at its current location, and the 0s bin is grown by one element. The next array element examined is the one in front of the 0s bin boundary (i.e. the first element that is not in the 0s bin or the 1s bin). This process continues until the 0s bin and the 1s bin reach each other. The 0s bin and the 1s bin are then sorted recursively based on the next bit of each array element. Recursive processing continues until the least significant bit has been used for sorting.[7][8] Handling signed integers requires treating the most significant bit with the opposite sense, followed by unsigned treatment of the rest of the bits.
In-place MSD binary-radix sort can be extended to larger radix and retain in-place capability. Counting sort is used to determine the size of each bin and their starting index. Swapping is used to place the current element into its bin, followed by expanding the bin boundary. As the array elements are scanned the bins are skipped over and only elements between bins are processed, until the entire array has been processed and all elements end up in their respective bins. The number of bins is the same as the radix used - e.g. 16 bins for 16-radix. Each pass is based on a single digit (e.g. 4-bits per digit in the case of 16-radix), starting from the most significant digit. Each bin is then processed recursively using the next digit, until all digits have been used for sorting.[9][10]
Neither in-place binary-radix sort nor n-bit-radix sort, discussed in paragraphs above, are stable algorithms.
Stable MSD radix sort implementations[edit]
MSD radix sort can be implemented as a stable algorithm, but requires the use of a memory buffer of the same size as the input array. This extra memory allows the input buffer to be scanned from the first array element to last, and move the array elements to the destination bins in the same order. Thus, equal elements will be placed in the memory buffer in the same order they were in the input array. The MSD-based algorithm uses the extra memory buffer as the output on the first level of recursion, but swaps the input and output on the next level of recursion, to avoid the overhead of copying the output result back to the input buffer. Each of the bins are recursively processed, as is done for the in-place MSD radix sort. After the sort by the last digit has been completed, the output buffer is checked to see if it is the original input array, and if it's not, then a single copy is performed. If the digit size is chosen such that the key size divided by the digit size is an even number, the copy at the end is avoided.[11]
Hybrid approaches[edit]
Radix sort, such as the two-pass method where counting sort is used during the first pass of each level of recursion, has a large constant overhead. Thus, when the bins get small, other sorting algorithms should be used, such as insertion sort. A good implementation of insertion sort is fast for small arrays, stable, in-place, and can significantly speed up radix sort.
Application to parallel computing[edit]
This recursive sorting algorithm has particular application to parallel computing, as each of the bins can be sorted independently. In this case, each bin is passed to the next available processor. A single processor would be used at the start (the most significant digit). By the second or third digit, all available processors would likely be engaged. Ideally, as each subdivision is fully sorted, fewer and fewer processors would be utilized. In the worst case, all of the keys will be identical or nearly identical to each other, with the result that there will be little to no advantage to using parallel computing to sort the keys.
In the top level of recursion, opportunity for parallelism is in the counting sort portion of the algorithm. Counting is highly parallel, amenable to the parallel_reduce pattern, and splits the work well across multiple cores until reaching memory bandwidth limit. This portion of the algorithm has data-independent parallelism. Processing each bin in subsequent recursion levels is data-dependent, however. For example, if all keys were of the same value, then there would be only a single bin with any elements in it, and no parallelism would be available. For random inputs all bins would be near equally populated and a large amount of parallelism opportunity would be available.[12]
There are faster parallel sorting algorithms available, for example optimal complexity O(log(n)) are those of the Three Hungarians and Richard Cole[13][14] and Batcher's bitonic merge sort has an algorithmic complexity of O(log2(n)), all of which have a lower algorithmic time complexity to radix sort on a CREW-PRAM. The fastest known PRAM sorts were described in 1991 by David Powers with a parallelized quicksort that can operate in O(log(n)) time on a CRCW-PRAM with n processors by performing partitioning implicitly, as well as a radixsort that operates using the same trick in O(k), where k is the maximum keylength.[15] However, neither the PRAM architecture or a single sequential processor can actually be built in a way that will scale without the number of constant fan-out gate delays per cycle increasing as O(log(n)), so that in effect a pipelined version of Batcher's bitonic mergesort and the O(log(n)) PRAM sorts are all O(log2(n)) in terms of clock cycles, with Powers acknowledging that Batcher's would have lower constant in terms of gate delays than his Parallel quicksort and radix sort, or Cole's merge sort, for a keylength-independent sorting network of O(nlog2(n)).[16]
Tree-based radix sort[edit]
Radix sorting can also be accomplished by building a tree (or radix tree) from the input set, and doing a pre-order traversal. This is similar to the relationship between heapsort and the heap data structure. This can be useful for certain data types, see burstsort.

Dr. Hans Zarkov is scouring through Ming's technology to help himself and a stranded Flash Gordon find a way back to Earth. Meanwhile, the Merciless one has set in motion a plan of revenge. Read on in this Major Spoilers review.
Previously in Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist: After the defeat(?) of Ming the Merciless, Team Gordon now has new problems on their hands. First, there's the unrest created by a power vacuum and then there's the small matter of getting back to Earth.
Until reading this issue my only real experience with anything "Flash Gordon" has been the hazy recollection of a winged, belligerent Brian Blessed strutting about the skies with mace in hand and voice in throat. A wisp of a memory tied to a (Freddie) mercurial soundtrack that simultaneously intrigued and repelled. Who is Flash Gordon and is he truly king of the impossible? I sought these answers in the pages of "Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist" #8.
Instead, I learned crapton about Hans Zarkov's childhood.
While trying to find a way back to Earth, Zarkov hits a snag in reverse engineering Ming the Merciless' technology. Foolishly he asks Ming for help and falls prey to one of the tyrant's numerous contingency plans. A robot spider monster jacks into Zarkov's brain and forces him to relive polluted memories of his life up until now. The monster is clearly trying to break Zarkov's resolve and collapse his mind under the stress, but the doctor bears up well and, like Jim Kirk, uses logic to defeat the machine.
I liked the writing in this issue because Zarkov is portrayed as a regular guy. A super smart guy, yes, but a man who's just trying to solve problem and deal with the hand he was dealt. And through all that he's still searching for his father's understanding and acceptance. It's so humanizing.
I'm just stepping into this series with this issue, so I don't know how atypical this was from what came before, but I was pleasantly surprised that I came in expecting "zap, pow, bang" and instead got a character study that wasn't without depth.
That art didn't do too much to stand out for me. There was nothing wrong with it — it was quite proficient, just not outstanding and there's nothing wrong with that. Zarkov received several closeups throughout the course of the book and they were exceedingly detailed with the heavier lines I enjoy.
One thing I was looking for but was disappointed not to see: 1930s versions of futuristic technology. Too few Jacob's Ladders! Not enough things with fins! The upside of this is that the panels were easier to take seriously, but come on, who doesn't like those goofy artifacts of an unrealized future?
Daniel Indro is clearly a talented artist, but maybe I'm just too cynical to be blown away these days.
BOTTOM LINE: HEY, WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY?
If I'm being honest with myself I'll probably read one more issue and then not be driven enough to keep reading, but that's my flaw and not the book's. "Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist" #8 is a great issue to grab if you're looking for something a little different from your pulp scifi — like I said, I was pleasantly surprised to get something other than what I expected. At the very least be like me and pick it up to see if it's something you might be interested in. 3.5 stars.

National Museum of African Art to Present 24-hours of the Smithsonian in Lagos
by InlandTown Editor November 3, 2021
by InlandTown Editor November 3, 2021 0 comment
The Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art is partnering with Art X, the African International Film Festival (AFRIFF), the African Artists' Foundation and Alára to bring together the U.S., Nigeria and African diaspora through the worlds of film, art, photography and fashion. "24 Hours of the Smithsonian in Lagos" will feature "Taste!" a multisensory, participative art experience at Alára Sunday, Nov. 7, from 12h00-18h00 WAT (7 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST). "24 Hours of the Smithsonian in Lagos" comes during an ongoing explosion of creativity in Lagos and Nigeria and helps mark the end of Art X and the beginning of AFRIFF.
Curated by former Smithsonian Artist Research Fellow Temitayo Ogunbiyi, "Taste!" will include experiences by sound artist Emeka Ogboh, photographer Iké Udé and Ogunbiyi in collaboration with chef Renèe Chuks. Using sound, portraiture and food, the three artists question assumptions concerning culture, geography and identity. The experience will culminate in a living installation in which many of the celebrities featured in the upcoming exhibition "Iké Udé: Nollywood Portraits" and others become works of art by posing for photographs alongside Udé's exuberant sets at the opening night of the African International Film Festival.
"24 Hours of the Smithsonian in Lagos" is the launch of the National Museum of African Art's global presence under newly appointed director Ngaire Blankenberg.
"Iké Udé: Nollywood Portraits" will open at the National Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., Feb. 5, 2022.
Iké Udé
Udé is a Nigerian American conceptual artist who has been creating work since the 1990s that complicates notions of identity and perception. He uses photography to draw attention to how individuals portrayed in highly posed "performances" can reveal more truth than contrived poses that aim to be natural. Udé's work is in the permanent collections of Solomon R.

To the Central Americans whose lives he saved, Jim Corbett was a saint. To the U.S. government, he was a dangerous subversive. To those who knew him, he was a thoughtful, quiet, unassuming man.	And to a world still struggling with the issues he confronted, his legacy is only beginning to be known.
Corbett, a co-founder of the 1980s Sanctuary Movement to shelter Central American refugees fleeing war and death squads in their homelands, was memorialized Sept. 1 in a Quaker-style service at Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, Ariz. He died Aug. 2, at age 67, at his home in Cascabel, Ariz.
Although he led a contemplative life as a rancher, writer and teacher, Corbett rose to international prominence as a leader of the faith-based movement to protect undocumented refugees from capture and deportation by the U.S. government. He personally helped guide dozens of Salvadorans and Guatemalans to safety across the border into the United States.
Corbett's sanctuary co-founders, including the Rev. John Fife of Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, and Fr. Ricardo Elford, a Redemptorist priest, recognize him as the guiding spiritual and intellectual force behind the movement.
Corbett's moral philosophy of living simply and humbly in harmony with nature was based on his Quaker beliefs in nonviolence and respect for life, his studies at Colgate and Harvard, and his experiences as a rancher and goatherd in southern Arizona and Mexico.
"He was at home with cows, with sleeping on the ground, and yet he was so, so smart," Elford said.
Corbett was drawn into refugee work in 1981, after a friend picked up a Salvadoran hitchhiker who subsequently was arrested and deported. In trying to determine the hitchhiker's whereabouts, Corbett learned that many Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugees were suffering similar fates, despite legitimate claims to political asylum.
Corbett and others began helping refugees to avoid capture, yet he insisted that what they were doing was not "civil disobedience." He argued instead that it was "civil initiative" -- they were upholding laws regarding treatment of war refugees that the U.S. government refused to	enforce. On March 24, 1982, Southside Presbyterian became the first church in	the country to declare itself a sanctuary for Central Americans fleeing	persecution.
The movement quickly gained attention and acceptance. At its	height, more than 200 religious orders and congregations nationwide, several universities and municipalities, and more than 600 religious organizations, including the National Federation of Priests' Councils (representing more	than 33,000 Catholic priests) declared themselves in favor of sanctuary. In 1984, Corbett accepted the Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award on behalf of the movement.
Rejecting the claim that sanctuary was in fact upholding the law, the U.S. government moved against its leaders. In January 1985, Corbett and 10 others, including two Catholic priests and several religious lay workers, were	indicted on alien-smuggling charges. After a six-month trial in Tucson, eight were convicted of various felonies. All received probation. Corbett, who by this time had taken a less public role in sanctuary, was among the three who	were acquitted.
Corbett retired to rural Arizona, where he and his wife, Pat, founded an intentional community, the Saguaro-Juniper Association, which is based on principles of land, plant and animal protection. The association	eventually grew to encompass 1,100 acres and includes a spiritual retreat center called the Cascabel Hermitage.
He published one book of philosophy, called Goatwalking: A Guide to Wildland Living, a Quest for the Peaceable Kingdom, and was working to complete another when he was struck by cerebellar paraneoplastic syndrome, a rare and fast-moving cancer of the central nervous system.
"On the prairie, when the wind wails a dirge and snow sifts	in rivulets through the sagebrush, I've hugged the sticky-pink, death-chilled body of a newborn lamb under my coat, and its heart fluttered in	reply.
"And on a desert mountain, amidst the hush of soaring granite, I've opened a forgotten spring. The few who remembered thought it had long ago gone dry, but I found the hidden place and dug down until a stream ran clear and cold in the summer sun.
Indeed he did. And so much more.
Miriam Davidson is a Tucson-based journalist and author of Convictions of the Heart: Jim Corbett and the Sanctuary Movement(University of Arizona Press, 1988) as well as the recent Lives on the Line: Dispatches from the U.S.-Mexico Border (UA Press, 2000).

Workers' Party calls for public dialogue on hijab issue
In a statement on Wednesday, Nov 6, 2013, Aljunied GRC MP Muhammad Faisal Abdul Manap (above) said the WP believes the current debate on the hijab should not be politicised and a workable consensus was best achieved through public dialogue within the Muslim community among the various communities and with the elected government.
Andrea Ong
The Workers' Party (WP) has called for public dialogue to achieve a "workable consensus" on the issue of uniformed public officers wearing the hijab or Muslim headscarf, adding that these discussions should also involve the heads of the uniformed professions.
Get the full story from The Straits Times.
Here is the full statement from the Workers' Party:
Current hijab discussion should not be politicised; Dialogue with uniformed professions urged
WP is committed to the ideal of a multi-racial and multi-cultural Singapore where citizens of all faiths and races have the right to practice their religion as fully as possible in harmony with all the communities. We value diversity in unity, and believe that the understanding and embracing of diversity will allow Singapore to become a more inclusive and integrated society.
Therefore, as a principle, WP recognises the genuine desire and aspirations of Muslim Singaporeans who seek a change in government policy to allow the wearing of the hijab in the public sector's uniformed professions.
WP observes that over the years, Singaporeans have grown accustomed to working Muslim women who choose to don the hijab in government offices, as nurses in some private hospitals, in schools as teachers and even as participants at National Day parades. We recognise that good relations exist among our communities in Singapore, and believe that this will decide how far each group can practice their religion in an environment of tolerance and mutual respect.
WP is of the view that the current hijab discussions should not be politicised. WP believes that a workable consensus is best achieved through public dialogue within the Muslim community, among our communities, and with the government elected by the people. The discussions should be carried on with an open mind, and include the input of the heads of uniformed professions on the feasibility of accommodating the wearing of the hijab in their organisations, subject to considerations such as operational exigencies.
Finally, WP notes the overwhelmingly rational response of the Muslim community in voicing their views and concerns over the hijab discussion so far. This augurs well for positive discussions between the community, the government and the uniformed services going forward. We urge that Singaporeans be guided by a spirit of mutual understanding and support in these discussions, so as to preserve and strengthen cohesion in our society.

Hi Interactive | Blog | Does Your Website Come With Affordances?
Does Your Website Come With Affordances?
It may seem too simple, but in our work here at Hi INTERACTIVE we have worked on several projects in which the concept of affordance was key; if you wonder whether all elements in your website are easily understandable for users, you are unknowingly looking for affordances. After all, your website may look stunning, but if it doesn't 'feel comfortable', what is the likelihood of anyone spending too much time on it? Keep reading to understand where the concept of affordance came from and how it can be deployed in your best interest.
It was the psychologist J. J. Gibson who, in 1977, first mentioned the term affordance in his article "The theory of affordances"; two years later, this same term would be fully explored in the book The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception. At the time, he defined affordance in a very simple way, noting it as the relationship between a given environment and an actor. At the time, affordances were already relevant for the field of design, since we all live surrounded by objects, whose use is sometimes more, and sometimes less, obvious. Affordance is not a particular feature of a particular object; it is rather the possibility of performing a given action with that object (for instance, a doorknob is an affordance of the door).
Originally, the definition of affordance as presented by J.J.Gibson referred to the set of all physical actions a user could take with a given object. This initial definition has evolved over time, due to the technological evolution of digital interfaces and nowadays also includes something called discoverability of actions. Discoverability is another interesting concept, quite pertinent for the digital sphere and points to the fact that it is through interaction with an interface (such as a computer) that you come to discover the actions you can take.
Why are they important to the digital field?
The digital field has a peculiarity compared to physical objects: regardless of whether your interface is a computer screen, a tablet or a smartphone, you'll be dealing with a two-dimensional space. This means that we cannot get any physical clues from the object itself; all we get are visual clues, or affordances. This makes affordances possibly even more important in the digital field, since a make-or-break situation can be more easily created, whereby your users can either be drawn to your website or repelled by it. On a more business-like note, affordances also have a role to play in terms of conversions, which is all the more reason why investing in successful design can make all the difference.
Explicit affordance: hints given off by language or by the physical appearance of the object (think red button saying 'touch me'). Any language used on your website can provide valuable clues on things you can do: just think how useful it is, when filling out an online form, knowing whether you are supposed to fill it with numbers, letters or both.
Hidden affordance: this kind of affordance is usually employed to make complex visual designs simpler. Think drop down menus: you only see them when, for some reason, you need to use them. Instead of displaying all navigation options at once, which risk cluttering the screen.
The case for affordances is no stranger to our work and there are at least two projects worth mentioning: Concertos para Bebés (Concerts for Babies) and the British Hospital. For the first of these two projects, we created a gallery of images which can be browsed horizontally; the tiny hand you'll see on the screen is the affordance, or visual clue, which informs the user on how he can browse the gallery effectively. In the second project, we have divided the navigation bar into two: you can use the upper navigation to select the category you are looking for and the lateral navigation to select the medical specialty.
Don't miss out on all the benefits you can get from affordances: contact us.

Well six months has gone by, since I first asked the question about what happened to the garage in Broad Street, and there have been three good comments, but I'm amazed that no-one had the full answer.
The garage was known as the Broadway Garage, and had been for a long time before I moved to Alresford, from 1938 approx according to Len Strong. He's about right, because when the building was demolished various accounts and invoices dating from the late thirties were found in the roof space, and are now held in the Alresford Museum (www.museum.alresford.org). In the 70s and 80s the garage was owned and run by the late Chris Lentz. The photo shown here is from May 85 showing it with two specially made (non-specific) garage signs – and a lot of very polished vintage cars for that TV filming.
The exact filming done is a bit dubious: the main suggestion was that it was for a Shell petrol advert, although the owner of the Austin Healey remembers it being used as a getaway car in one film. The filming attracted a lot of passing interest, as can be seen from the second photo, and a fair bit of trade for the Bodega Wine Bar almost next door.
What happened to the garage? Well, at least one of the signs visible over the windows is still visible today – but relocated to another motor car repair garage at the Winchester end of New Farm Road, behind the chapel. Have a look from the bus next time you go to Winchester!
The picture above caused a lot of amusement, around the display put up the following week in the Bodega Wine Bar. The young lady on the photo stormed in and demanded the prints and the negatives and the rest of the world as well. She did not get anything, the picture was taken legally, on a public road. I just liked the way the cars made a nice background.
The Garage itself? The actual buildings were knocked down a year or so later, in 1987 I think, after the business moved to New Farm Road. They had stood on the site of the old "Le Hart" Inn, but now made way for three new town houses. The garage itself looked more like the photo above, normally: I am told that the narrow green house next door was the old Alresford Telephone Exchange.
The lower-roofed house that looks a little different, on the left, but which was a part of the garage, was originally a grocer's shop, owned by the parents of Millie Godwin, during the 1920s-30s. I think this was number 38, whereas the main garage buildings were number 36 Broad Street.
I should get a modern photo of the new town houses, to show the current status!
A bit off topic, but i was surprised to find, on a recent visit to my home town, that with the closing of Hankins garage in West St. there is no facility for local motorists to 'fill up' with petrol in Alresford.(what a shame.!!!).
How Very Alresford: I can picture the scene, where the elderley lady says "Young man, I am here to visit the butchers, and how will he deliver the roast to the car if I do not have it parked here." I'm just a bit disappointed you did not film the negotiations to get her to move the car…..
Pauline Cherrett remembers buying a car, a Saab from Broadway Garage in Broad Street, where numbers 36, 36a and 38 are now, in July 1971. By Feb 1974, the Saab franchise had moved, still under the Broadway banner, to Ropley Dene when she went back for another model. The Volvo part of the business stayed in Broad Street, and the Salesman at that time was Neville Oldfield: Bill Brixey (of Bridge Road) was a mechanic there. Pauline remembers driving down a ramp into the repair area from the level of Broad Street…..


Sometimes we need to run some system commands from within our program. In such cases the following example can be helpful.
If you click on the button the following event handler will be called and the command line interface would be executed.
// CMD.exe is the name of the file which will execute.
// /C is the path name.
// dir is the command which will execute in command prompt.
objProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;     // This line will not create any new window for command prompt.
// Set  UseShellExecute to specify whether to start the process by using the operating system shell.
The above example will open the command line interface, but it will not be visible. If you want to make the command prompt visible then assign false to objProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow.

CLSA featured in LA Times: Biomedical research would be hit by Trump's proposed budget
By Bradley J. Fikes | View Original Article
Despite some good aspects, President Donald Trump's proposed 2018 budget includes cuts in biomedical programs that would cripple life science research and industry, said experts in San Diego and California's biomedical economy.
"It's a horrendous proposal," said Eric Topol, M.D., a cardiologist-geneticist with Scripps Health. "It's completely unacceptable. It can't be defended … Every way you look at it, it spells trouble."
The proposed cuts also come at a time when biomedical research has become extraordinarily productive in finding new treatments and insights into human health, Topol said.
Sara Radcliffe, president and CEO of California Life Sciences Association, said in a statement that the biomedical trade group is "deeply concerned with the administration's requests related to public health and research priorities, including funding for the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health."
NIH is the nation's largest funder of biomedical research. The budget would fall 22 percent, or about $7.7 billion, to $26.9 billion. Nearly all of its component institutes would get a drop in funding.
— National Cancer Institute would get $4.47 billion a loss about $1 billion
— National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases would get $3.78, a loss of $838 million
— National Institute on Aging is to get $1.3 billion, a loss of $294 million.
The budget does contain some new spending, including $207 million for the Department of Health and Human Services to respond in case of an influenza pandemic, an increase of $135 million.
Radcliffe praised the administration's proposed repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board, established with Obamacare. Radcliffe said the board "could harm biomedical innovation by reducing incentives for investment in new research and product development.

Meet Sawsan, The Youngest Person To Graduate From Her College.
From the moment she was born, Sawsan Ahmed's father was convinced her I.Q. was higher than average.
Wesam Ahmed recalls that moments after she was born, Sawsan stopped crying and turned her head to the sound of his voice as he read to her. Her mom, Jeena Santos Ahmed, dismissed his suspicions at first, but a few months later it was clear that Sawsan was hitting every milestone much earlier than other infants.
By the time Sawsan was 15 months old, she was already speaking in full sentences. At age 2, she was reading and writing letters to her mother. For reference, most kids start to read by the time they're 6 or 7 years old.
Sawsan comes by her intelligence and love of learning honestly. Her father is a physician who currently works at the Cleveland Clinic's center in Abu Dhabi, and her mother has a Ph.D from Brown University. Both parents fostered her passion for education and encouraged her to pursue her academic interests. They considered private schools, but eventually decided Jeena would homeschool her.
"All of her education has pretty much been child-led," said Jeena. "Whenever she shows an interest in something, we sort of dive into it and try to follow her interest as best that we can. We talked to her about new developments that we read about, we let her listen to NPR and learn about new scientific discoveries."
"I always tell her: You can drive at 200 miles per hour," her father agreed. "If you want to drive at 50, it's OK, but you should try to do the 200. We never pushed her to sit and study; she does this because she wants to do it."
Because of her academic prowess, Sawsan finished high school early and started taking classes at Broward College. Just 10 years old at the time, she got a lot of raised eyebrows from her fellow students, but by the time she graduated she had earned their respect.
"At the very beginning, everyone was helping me, calling me 'honey,' 'sweetie,' things like that," she recalled. "But by the end of the semester, all of the other students were asking me for help on questions."
Now 12, Sawsan just became the youngest person to ever graduate from Broward College in their 61-year history! Not only did she graduate, but she earned a GPA of 4.0. She earned an associate degree and plans to start on her Bachelor degree next spring at the University of Florida, where she'll study computer programming, chemistry, and biology. After that, her plan is to earn a doctorate or M.D. so she can study artificial intelligence in medicine. She hopes that A.I. could be the key to detecting cancer in patients earlier to improve their prognoses.
Although her accomplishments are impressive, Sawsan insists she's just like any other kid her age in every other way. She favors pigtails and often has a teddy bear stuffed into her backpack along with her textbooks, and she's a huge Disney fan whose favorite film is "Zootopia." She also loves art, music, and video games.
"There's definitely nothing I'm missing out on," she said. "I still get to do a lot of things people my age do. Going to college has just been something additional; it hasn't been replacing my childhood in any way."
Some people really can have it all, and Sawsan seems to be one of them! What a smart cookie. We're certain she has a bright future!
Share this story to congratulate Sawsan for her incredible accomplishments at such a young age.
