It's been about a week since the sudden and tragic death of British designer Alexander McQueen. I think the world... fashion and beyond... is still recovering.
I'm still shock, but in light of the loss of such brilliance and imagination, we were fortunate enough to experience even a passing glimpse of his otherworldly creativity. Even viewed through my feeble rods and cones spying such inspiration from just a computer screen, it still left me breathless.
We should also be comforted in his legacy. My cousin Connie Lim (yeah, my family isn't too creative in the name dept.), who will be studying design at McQueen's alma mater Central St. Martins in the fall, is immensely inspired by McQueen's work, as is evidence by her artistic re-imagining of McQueen's Fall 2009 collection and is proof of the lasting effect genius can have on others.
I'm really proud of her and her work, which has been featured in Cyana Trendland and Dazed Digital.
This is probably my 45684513787129th attempt at starting a blog to share what inspires me, and my take on everything from fashion to food to music to art to books to culture to fashion again because let's face it, that's the most fun part—all from the little corner of the world that I inhabit. Hopefully, this is will mostly serve as an exercise in my writing and fledgling photography. A great transition has emboldened me to throw my hat in the proverbial ring, and I hope you friends, enemies, strangers and would-be friends out there will come along on this journey with me.

Q: Boolean bitwise and logical operators I Have two booleans with OR operation between them.
According to my understanding, I can use bitwise or logical operators and it will have the same effect:
bitwise:
bool first = true, second = false;
first = first | second;

logical:
bool first = true, second = false;
first = first || second;

Is there any difference?
What's the better way?

A: As noted in the comments, you should use logical operators when you're doing logic and bitwise operators when doing bitwise operations.
One of the main differences among these is that C++ will short-circuit the logical operations; meaning that it will stop evaluating the operands as soon as it's clear what the result of the operation is.
As an example, this code:
bool foo() {
    std::puts("foo");
    return true;
}

bool bar() {
    std::puts("bar");
    return true;
}

//...

auto const res = foo() || bar();

will only output:
foo

Function bar won't be evaluated as, in this case, evaluating foo is enough to know the result of expression foo() || bar() is true.

Most countries place dietary supplements in a special category under the general umbrella of foods, not drugs. This necessitates that the manufacturer, and not the government, be responsible for ensuring that its dietary supplement products are safe before they are marketed. Regulation of supplements varies widely by country. In the United States, a dietary supplement is defined under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration uses the Adverse Event Reporting System to monitor adverse events that occur with supplements.

Donato Carrisi (* 25. März 1973 in Martina Franca) ist ein italienischer Schriftsteller, Drehbuchautor und Filmregisseur.

Leben und Werk
Donato Carrisi ist in Martina Franca geboren und aufgewachsen. Nach seiner Schulausbildung studierte er Rechtswissenschaften in Rom, spezialisierte sich dabei auf Kriminologie und Verhaltensforschung und schloss sein Studium mit einer Arbeit über den italienischen Serienmörder Luigi Chiatti, der auch als das Monster von Foligno bezeichnet wird, ab. Die Beschäftigung mit Serienmördern sowie eine Begegnung mit Chiatti inspirierten ihn später zu seinem ersten Thriller Il suggeritore. Nach seinem Studienabschluss arbeitete er jedoch zunächst kurze Zeit als Anwalt, bevor er sich schließlich seiner schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit zuwandte und diverse Drehbücher für Film und Fernsehen verfasste.

Bereits mit seinem ersten Roman Il suggeritore, einem Thriller, der 2010 unter dem deutschen Titel Der Todesflüsterer im Piper Verlag erschien, gelang ihm der internationale Durchbruch. Sein Debütroman wurde 2009 in Italien mit dem renommierten Premio Bancarella ausgezeichnet, stand in Deutschland wochenlang auf der Spiegel-Bestsellerliste und wurde in mehr als 20 Sprachen übersetzt, unter anderem ins Hebräische und Vietnamesische.

Für seinen Roman L'ipotesi del male, der unter dem deutschen Titel Die Totenjägerin veröffentlicht wurde, erhielt er 2013 den Premio Giorgio Scerbanenco.

Sein Roman La ragazza nella nebbia, der 2017 in der deutschen Übersetzung unter dem Titel Der Nebelmann im Atrium Verlag erschien, wurde 2017 mit Toni Servillo und Jean Reno in den Hauptrollen verfilmt. Mit diesem Film gab Carrisi auch sein Regiedebüt. Bei der Verfilmung seines Romans Diener der Dunkelheit, die 2020 mit Tony Servillo und Dustin Hoffman in den Hauptrollen erschien, führte er ebenfalls Regie.

Donato Carrisi lebt und arbeitet als freier Schriftsteller und Drehbuchautor in Rom und schreibt auch Kolumnen für den Corriere della Sera.

Vice President and System Admin for Perigee Global. Excessive attention paid to all things technical!
Perhaps you could build up some additional funds (saving, loans, investments or grants) and then directly market your quality product or service to a targeted audience so that they become brand advocates!! - Once that has time to generate some organic buzz, then start leveraging online search in combination with additional high-value content!!!!
The focus should be on connecting users to your quality product/service/resource, and not on trying to convince people that you offer something of quality when it is not - and this should form a solid foundation for a sustainable business.
Good suggestions indeed for effectively gathering potential links and determining website influence etc. You could otherwise spend far more time randomly researching generic lists of sites that may or may not be open to your business or brand.

American Idol Season 8

Am I the only one who doesn't think Lil is all that horrid? Simon's trashing is hilarious and she isn't great by any means, but I haven't found her intolerable.

Good move saving Matt tonight. That song was not good for him but in past weeks, he's been solid. At this point it didn't hurt to keep him for another week as he's much better then Lil. I don't think there's any way she gets past next week. Matt obviously also has got to step it up to be safe for next week.
On another note, they need to have Simon judge everyone regardless of time. He obviously has the strongest influence on the viewers and is pretty much right. For him to judge every other time makes this competition not fair.

So, this is the great save. They lecture us over so-called past injustices like Chris, Jennifer, etc. then use the save on Matt? Da hell? He is a guy the public will never allow to win, and he will never have a recording career.
Although, if next week was the last week to use it, and odds are it'd be Lill, I guess the show didn't want to be forced into using it on her or not using it.

Can't think of a witty caption today :(
Surprsingly good show for a disco theme. But then again this is one of the strongest talent pools they have had on Idol. Based on last night, the bottom 3 should be Annoop, Lil, and Matt but you never know. Personally I am hoping for Matt and Lil to go, but I still think the final 4 will be Adam,Allison, Danny, and Kris.

Too skinny for medical research
This season has just been so boring. Even Quentin Tarantino couldn't get me to watch, and I was looking forward to that particular theme anyways. Oh well, I guess I'll give it a shot next season, cause at this point only Lambert completely flaming out and going on stage in full drag singing Scissor Sisters songs could get me to watch. Or Normund Gentle.
So my prediction came true. Actually almost any result would have been okay, as Tuesday's show was one of the best ever, with no one outright sucking, and very entertaining. Glad to see Matt go, as he is sort of a weak link compared with the others. Great final four left. I would still be shocked if Danny or Adam don't win the thing. Personally I think Danny should take it as he is the best pure singer left. Adam AKA Emo boy, has a powerful voice, but is a little too over the top at times and very theatrical. He really should take it down a notch and just sing it normally as he has shown he can do. Kris has kind of grown on me lately and is by far the most improved. Allison is a pro, simple as that. She has incredible stage presence for her age, and a strong, unique voice to boot. Should be good from this point on.
Worst performance of all time?
Danny screwed up by picking that song. Either that or he shouldn't have done the scream at the end. He said in the video package he had to, but no he didn't, remember "it's all about originality" However I don't think that'll cost him. I predict either Kris or Allison go home tonight, but to be fair Danny had the worst performance so in all fairness it should be him. And what was the point of the duets? I guess to fill time. Of course they could have let the 4 do the longer versions of the song. I mean they are longer then they were weeks ago, but still cut short.
That all said I like all 4 of them, so any way I'll be a bit pissed tonight.
One of Kris/Allison will go tonight. The other will go next week. But I am telling you, Danny is never going to live down "Scream On"... it was like he was trying to pull off Adam and failed.
The reason for the deuts is simple. The 4 judge format makes it impossible to let them sing two songs a piece. Also, they paired the legit rockers against the faux-rockers and it was clear as day who were the worst.
My rankings for the night:
Adam/Allison duet
Danny/Kris deut
If there were justice in the world, Danny would go, but it ain't going to happen. I'm not even sure why people support the guy. He is the next Taylor Hicks.
OldSchoolWrestling 0
I'm old and my balls hang low.
I thought having Slash on was pretty awesome. I'm in the group hoping Danny goes home.
I quite liked Allison so it was a groan worthy moment that she was eliminated while Gokey survived. The only thing I can figure is this dude is getting the sympathy love due to his wife dying. He was hideous doing "Dream On" and should have been gone.
I never would have guessed Kris would have made it this far, but he has improved so much he probably deserves it (and this is coming from me, who thought it was an outrage he made it into the top 13 in the first place). But he is likely the one to go home this week.
Danny has seemed to coast by on sentiment from the audience. Even though I feel he has a lot of talent, he has never been able to show it in a single performance. So despite having IMO the best pure voice, he has never clicked on stage.
Allison was arguably the best "performer" on the show (I guess outside of Adam). She had incredible stage presence for her age, as well as crazy vocal skills. But she never seemed to click with the voters for whatever reason. But then again, let us remember that most of the votes are likely coming from pre-teen girls texting their votes by the truckload for whatever guy they think is the hottest.
Honestly I never voted more then a couple times for anyone, cuz I don't have the patience. I don't know about anyone else.
Well the dark horse made it. Although looking back at Tuesday's show, Danny was better than Adam, at elast in his second song. I had a werid feeling Kris was going to make it, and to be the first one safe was a shocking moment (does that mean he had the most votes?) . But his secong song sealed it for him (probably the best performance of Tuesday's show) Now you'd think Adam will win this easily, but don't count out Kris just yet. Remember last year it was easy to assume David A. would win. Should be a great final.
It's a strange thing. A large segment of tweens will vote for guys like Kris, but in real life they'll be the first in line for the latest Miley CD. So, I do think Allison has a shot at a career with that in mind.
As for Kris, he was/is the least objectionable of the three guys.
Danny was villain of the season. Adam is flamboyant. Kris is just sort of there with a pleasant if not unremarkable voice. It isn't my thing, but I understand his advancement to the finals.
Good points, although I don't think Danny was a villian persay. I thought he had a great voice, but he never showed it to his potential due to bad song choice and overperforming. Actually to me Matt was more of the villian cuz he stayed on way too long, got the save only cuz it was the last chance to use it, and outlasted Annoop even though he was better than him in the week he was eliminated. But I guess it doesn't matter who wins and whatnot, as it's up to the fans to buy thier records after the show and not forget about them. And I can see quite a few of this season's finalists getting record deals pretty quickly. And dare I say even becoming top popular artists.
In any event, I look forward to tonight's show. The sentimental part of me hopes Kris wins, though Adam is the obvious favorite. Though as I said before last year I was convinced David A. would win easily. So the favortie is not always the winner, but it happens a majority of the time on Idol.

Suckin' on dicks all the day long
How did Adam lose? I thought he was the favorite? Was it due to him being gay?
First an upset on Dancing With the Stars and now this??? My wife makes me watch it or something. Sue me.
I heard Kris pulled in the Gokey fans.
My gut instinct was right for once. Congrats to Kris. I think he may have won due to the fact he is more of a "normal" guy as opposed to Adam's over the top look, and singing style (very theatrical). Plus he is from the south and now 5 singers from the South have won the Idol title. Don't underestimate the Country and Middle America votes. However it bothers me less, because Kris is not really a country singer, he's more of a soft pop and ballad style singer. I would have been okay with either fo the two winning though. Adam is gonna make something of himself I'd b et. If he isn't starring in a broadway show within the year, I'd be shocked. It doesn't matter that much, because the winner doesn't always have the most success (e.g. Daughtry). I expect to hear from a number of this seasons finalists again.
The show last night was fun, if not oftentimes bizzare (Steve Martin playing the banjo?) A lot of performances too. I guess they got to get ready for the tour.
And it was cool to see Nick/Norman again, less much Tatiana. The audience was full of random celebrities as usual, which always makes me chuckle a bit. Plus former Idol contestants (yes we had a Justin Guarini sighting, probably looking for spare change)
All in all, a nice end to perhaps the best season (talent wise) yet. IMO it revitalized the show, which I was becoming bored with after 7 years. Wonder if we have seen the last of Paula.
I actually hope Paula comes back. Simon/Kara just have no chemistry. Simon/Paula is amusing in the "Oh just have sex already!" vein, whereas Simon and Kara just seem like two people who don't like each other.
Anyway, the right guy won. Kris Allen mostly won by not screwing up and not being annoying. Once this thing got down to the final 4 or so I asked myself which of these people I could actually imagine myself listening to. I can't imagine listening to a Danny Gokey album, and I couldn't stand listening to Lambert's high pitched screaming over 12 tracks. I liked Allison the best, but at least Kris Allen could be a somewhat successful white bread soft rocker like Jason Mraz.
Pretty simple what happened. The demographics of people voting worked against Adam. Tweens and bible thumpers united to give Kris the win.
Personally, I liked Allison, so I never had a rooting interest in the finale. I am not really big on Adam and his screaming, but the reactions of his fans on the AI boards are fairly amusing.
Great point there Swindle. I also was an Allison fan, but I think she has a great career ahead of her. Kris was also multi-talented and could play instruments, so he's more of an all-around performer so using that logic, he deserved to win. Kris was also on Leno last night and came across really well and funny. He really developed a personality and confidence as the show went on, so he was by far the most improved contestant, after all I didn't even understand how he made it to to the top 13, but he did and made me take notice by getting better every week.
That being said I never voted once this year, the one time I tried, it was busy so I said "screw this". Damn Idol allowing only AT&T cell users to text vote.
I'd be happy if next season we didn't hear stuff like:
You are the best.
See you in the finale.
Greatest performance eveh!!!!
That could be a hit single on the radio.
The nonsense out of the judges' pieholes is getting silly. Give the performers real feedback and leave it at that.
Also, the clear double standard between performers is crap. I remember one of the judges gave Danny an 'A for effort' for Scream On. If someone like Anoop had done that, he'd have been destroyed.
The voters likes underdogs. They don't like being told who the best.

Q: cant find array inside array in javascript this is the snippet: this code is not working, the problem it is not recognizing the array inside the array.
how can i improve it?
thanks!
<!DOCTYPE html>

The new ECMASCRIPT 5 method isArray returns true when used on an array.

A: Use count += findApple(arr[i], item);

A:

function findApple(arr, item) {
  var count = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    if (Array.isArray(arr[i])) {
       count+=findApple(arr[i], item);
    }
    else if (arr[i] == "apple") {
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}
var one = ["apple", "apple", ["orange", "apple", "banana"]];

var data = findApple(one, "apple");
alert(data);
var item = document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = data;
<!DOCTYPE html>

The new ECMASCRIPT 5 method isArray returns true when used on an array.

A: You have the following problem:
if (Array.isArray(arr[i])) { findApple(arr[i], item); }

As you wrote the script, you know that findApple RETURNS something. So the right syntax would be:
var result=findApple();

As you want to pass it back to the callee simply do:
 count+=result;

Mexican president cancels meeting with Trump
Mexico Government

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said Wednesday his country "will not pay for any wall," defying the claims US President Donald Trump has made. But he did not cancel his trip planned for the United States next week.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Thursday canceled a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump that had been set for Tuesday after renewed tensions over Trump's plan to build a wall on the border.
"This morning we have informed the White House that I will not attend the meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with the POTUS," Peña Nieto tweeted.
Earlier Thursday morning, Trump had tweeted that it would be better to skip the meeting if Peña Nieto continued to insist Mexico would not pay for the wall, which he had again said as recently as Wednesday evening.
Trump's pushback came after Peña Nieto said -- again -- on Wednesday that his country "will not pay for any wall," Trump tweeted that they should just skip their planned meeting at the White House.
"If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting," Trump tweeted and in an earlier tweet he noted the US's trade deficit with Mexico and what he said were the American job losses caused by NAFTA.
On Wednesday night, Pena Nieto had said he did not see a need to cancel his trip -- but reiterated that he wouldn't fund the wall.
"Mexico does not believe in walls. I've said time again; Mexico will not pay for any wall," he said in a video statement posted to Twitter and translated by CNN from Spanish.
The back-and-forth between the two leaders -- which began last year during the very first days of the Trump campaign when he called some Mexicans entering the US criminals and rapists and tensions lingered throughout the campaign. They escalated over the last 24 hours when Trump took executive action on Wednesday to begin the process of erecting a wall.
The President announced that move while a high-level Mexican delegation was visiting the White House -- the first foreign representatives to visit since Trump took office -- for meetings with top officials, including Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and adviser Jared Kushner.
Peña Nieto said he would wait for a final report from his top officials in Washington, and previous meetings with Mexican legislators, before deciding which steps he would take next.
Peña Nieto also said he had ordered government agencies to step up protection for immigrants.
"I've asked for the minister of Foreign Relations to re-enforce protection measures to our citizens," he said. He added that the 50 Mexican Consulates in the US will be used to defend the rights of immigrants in the country. He also issued a call to action to legislators and civil organizations to help immigrants.
Peña Nieto closed his message by saying that Mexico offers and expects respect.
"Mexico offers its friendship to the people of the United States and expresses its wish to arrive at agreements with its government, deals that will be in favor of Mexico and the Mexicans," he said.
Earlier in the day, Trump signed two executive orders directing the construction of a wall on the US-Mexico border, boosting border patrol forces and increasing the number of immigration enforcement officers who carry out deportations.
Meanwhile, the Mexican officials that arrived Wednesday were expected to lay the groundwork for Peña Nieto's visit next week, which Mexican diplomats see as an important opportunity to get past the anti-Mexico rhetoric Trump used during the campaign and a chance to put the US-Mexico relationship back on track.
"There is ... frustration with our government and ourselves that we have not been able to tell the story of this important relationship," a Mexican diplomat told CNN ahead of the visit. "There are a lot of stereotypes of Mexicans in the US, but there are also stereotypes of Americans in Mexico. It is in the interest of both governments to explain what this relationship is and what we can do together."
In a Monday speech, Peña Nieto said his government is prepared to negotiate with the US if Mexico's national sovereignty is respected. He laid out economic integration and respect for the rights of migrants and the money they send home as his nation's key negotiating points.
Trump has suggested some of the $25 billion in annual remittances that migrants return home would be retained to pay for the border wall -- a project Mexico opposes and which Peña Nieto has said Mexico would never pay for.
"Neither confrontation nor submission. Dialogue is the solution," Peña Nieto said Monday.
This won't be the first meeting for the two men. Trump flew to Mexico City during his campaign to meet Peña Nieto and said they discussed a wall Trump has vowed to build on the US southern border, but not his demand that Mexico pay for it -- an assertion the Mexican president later disputed.
"At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall," Peña Nieto tweeted, after their meeting.
The visit was widely viewed as a public relations disaster for Peña Nieto.


As a minor note, Qwuedanjj Qwuedeviv will, unlike the Qwuedeviv, be referred to by gender specific pronouns.
Appearance: Swirl patterned silver tabby fur, blue eyes.
Ninja is a pet kitten who lives on Qwuedanjj. The enthusiastic little creature has met some of the Qwuh-9 Qwuedeviv who she believes are 'super cool.' Her and her brother like to share whatever info they have with their Qwuedeviv friends despite some warnings from one of the four top Generals that they could very well endanger their way of living by doing so. Ninja is just young and doesn't understand the power that just sharing information could have one way or another. Ninja is a brave kitten with an adventurous spirit. She leads her sibling into all sorts of adventures and occasionally tries to get more involved in the Qwuedeviv planetary affairs than she really should.
She kinda looks like a rebuff of your current character.
Is it just me or... do you see it to?

Another unique characteristic,of the mosque is its use of an appearance enclosure wall. In Baghdad, these walls were intended to break the sacred space of the mosque from the city around it. In Egypt, however, this enclosure was lately filled with the houses of wealthy Egyptians, who built doors into the walls of the mosque to provide their houses with private and direct access inside.
All of these houses have now been destroyed and the doorways locked except for the two that now form the Gayer-Anderson Museum.
Robert Gayer-Anderson was a known British colonial officer, who lived in these houses in the 1930's with the courtesy of the Egyptian government. He was an Orientalist and an avid compiler, filling the house with his personal collection of art, furniture and carpets, while supervising its restoration.
When he went out of Egypt in 1942, he left the full contents of the house to the Egyptian government. The result today is a completely repaired and furnished home that is considered one of the best protected examples of 17th century Cairo architecture in the city. More recently, the house was applied for part of the filming of the famous James Bond film, 'The Spy Who Loved Me'.
While visited by comparatively few tourists, these two sites are truly among the most impressive in Cairo. The amalgamation,of the beautifully restored mosque and the museum next to one another provide an unparalleled view back into Cairo's past. situated in the Sayeda Zeinab neighborhood of Cairo, they are very near to Saladin's Citadel and Sultan Hassan Mosque can easily be combined with a tour of these more famous destination in a single day.


Sixteen centuries of Christian art and history are covered by the 40 images of St Paul that Sister Wendy has chosen to lead us into the minds of the artists and into the very heart of St Paul.
The images and commentaries are divided into two groups - the first showing illustrations of St Paul's life and the second concentrating on his personality.
With the critical insight of an artist, Sr Wendy brings alive these pictures of St Paul. Through her deep knowledge of scripture she helps us to use the pictures to bring out key themes in his life and writings. Inspired by her contemplative life spent close to God, she is able to bring these two things together and thus enrich our lives as we strive, like St Paul, to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
