Young Lions Name Squad For India
The Young Lions selectors have picked a squad of 18 for the first half of the winter, which includes domestic training camps in the UK and a 20-day training camp in Bangalore, India.
The second half of the winter will see the England U19s travel to Bangladesh in the new year to take on the hosts in all three formats of the game, for which a squad of 15 will be named.
Kasey Aldridge (Somerset)
George Balderson (Lancashire)
Ben Charlesworth (Gloucestershire)
Jordan Cox (Kent)
Tom Davis (Kent)
Adam Finch (Worcestershire)
Lewis Goldsworthy (Somerset)
Jack Haynes (Worcestershire)
George Hill (Yorkshire)
Luke Hollman (Middlesex)
Nick Kimber (Nottinghamshire)
Tom Lammonby (Somerset)
Dominic Leech (Yorkshire)
Jack Morley (Lancashire)
Dan Mousley (Warwickshire)
Hamidullah Qadri (Derbyshire)
Will Smeed (Somerset)
Jamie Smith (Surrey)
Jon Lewis, Young Lions Head Coach, said: "In addition, we have recruited a team of staff with extensive experience of working with developing cricketers at this age-group;
Andy Mitchell, Middlesex
Min Patel, Kent
Steve Snell, Somerset
Alex Tysoe, Surrey
Michael Yardy, Sussex
"We are grateful to their counties for releasing them to provide their expertise within the programme.
"It's a high potential group of players and I am excited by the prospect of them working with this set of staff and the challenging conditions that India will present.
"I think it's one of the best parts of the job, being able to provide an experience that adds value on top of what the players normally receive at their counties.
"It's been hugely enjoyable this year to see Harry Brook, Will Jacks, Dillon Pennington and Ethan Bamber progress from representing us in last year's World Cup to impressing in their county 1st XI.
"I know from having chatted to them that they felt their time with the Young Lions improved them as players and that's an example of the value our pathway can add to young players.
"I reminded this squad that it wasn't that long ago at all that Sam Curran and Ollie Pope were sat in the same seats as them. They both showed the characteristics of players who wanted to become international cricketers and their speed of ascent since has been testament to their hard work. I'm looking forward to developing this group so that they can start their own journey on that path."

How to Read Donald Duck Imperialist Ideology in the Disney Comic
Hover over image to zoom
Large-scale confrontations, disruption of meetings, sabotage and street fighting have been part of the practice of anti-fascism from the early twentieth century until the twenty-first. Rarely endorsed by any political party, the use of collective bodily strength remains a strategy of activists working in alliances and coalitions against fascism.
In Physical Resistance famous battles against fascists, form the Olympia arena, Earls Court in 1934 and Cable Street in 1936 to Southall in 1978 and Bradford 2010, are told through the voices of participants. Anarchists, communists and socialists who belonged to a shifting series of anti-fascist organizations relate well-known events alongside many forgotten but significant episodes.

Nicknamed the "Flatbush Flash," Depression-era Bronx native Marty Glickman was chosen as a member of the U.S. track and field team alongside Jesse Owens for the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but was dropped at the last minute to appease Hitler. He returned home to a stellar college football career before becoming a radio announcer for the New York Knicks, Giants and Jets. Glickman was known both for his vivid play-by-play descriptions and for coining numerous phrases that have become part of everyday sports vernacular. He capped his legendary career by helping found HBO Sports. Featured interviews include such luminaries as Bob Costas, Bill Bradley, David Stern, Marv Albert, Larry King and Jerry Stiller.

Haircare Products from Monat Global
May 2018: This lawsuit was transferred to federal court. (Case No. 18-cv-851, S. D. CA.)
April 2018: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Monat Global alleging that the company misleadingly advertises its haircare products by giving the impression that they will not cause damage to the hair or scalp because they are created from organic and all natural materials when, according to the plaintiffs, the haircare products may cause damage to the hair and scalp and may also cause balding. (Botallico et al v. Monat Global Corp., Case No. 37-2018-00016233, California Superio Court – San Diego County)

You can now download high quality MP3's of Supercollider and The Butcher on the official The King Of Limbs website if you have already purchased the album. Follow this link: http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/OrderTracking/MemberIndex.php
So, as long as you purchased The King Of Limbs album before 3:30pm (GMT) Monday 18th April you can download the songs for free.
Here is the email that the band sent out on this download being available (for some reason not everyone received the email):
Thank you – Merci – Gracias – Grazie – Dankeschön – Obrigado – Gui lah hui te ha – Ashoge – Shukran – Tsikomo – M goi – Tak – Dank u – Vinaka – Aabhar – Köszönöm – Go raibh maith agaibh – Arigato – Tashakkur – Dziekuje – Gestena – Hvala – Tack – Tesekkür ederim – Spasibo – Dêkuji – Sas efharisto ……
Right, that's most of you covered, apologies to those we've missed out … ok, so here are two tracks for your listening pleasure:
Supercollider and The Butcher. We released these as a limited edition 2 track 12inch vinyl to mark Independent Record Store Day last Saturday, April 16 … so in case you missed out and didn't get a copy here they are.
It's a thank you for being SO supportive of what we do …

It is just a big old-fashioned thank you!
Hope your Spring/Autumn is good.
Ed, Colin, Jonny, Philip & Thom
FYI… 'The Butcher' was recorded and mixed during 'The King of Limbs' sessions, but we couldn't make it work on the album; 'Supercollider' was started during those sessions and finished off in March of this year.
Notice this download became available exactly 2 months after The King Of Limbs was available for download. They were both available of the 18th and on a Full Moon…..

Wheelchair accessible vehicles and adaptive equipment prices can run from $5,000 to $60,000+. Thankfully there are ways to help pare that down to an affordable figure. Disability grants and loans, government assistance and other help is available. You can even use multiple sources.
State Agencies – Every state has a Vocational Rehabilitation Dept. Some provide funding for vehicle modifications. Phone numbers for state, federal and county agencies are in your local phone book or Google (your state) (+) "vocational rehabilitation" or "human services," etc.
County – Social service or human services programs may assist in financing.
Veterans Administration – The VA funds adaptive equipment for qualifying veterans. Visit www.va.gov/about_va/ or call 202-273-7124.
Charitable Organizations/Churches – Philanthropy organizations are extensive, from MS Society to Easter Seals to Elks, Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary and more. Check with your local organizations.
Mobility Rebate Programs – Many leading vehicle manufacturers offer rebates for those that require modifications for disabilities. Ask your NMEDA dealership or search online.
Bank Financing – More and more banks and financing companies will work with you and the dealer to finance the vehicle with no down payment and up to 10 years to pay off the loan.
Your insurance or workman's compensation policies may pay for vehicle adaptation.
Medicare will pay for adaptive equipment in certain instances. Call 1-800-MEDICARE.
To look for used (previously enjoyed) vehicles or equipment, check the classified ads. But also call or visit local nursing or assisted-living homes, Hospice, etc. and ask if they are planning on selling any of their accessible vehicles or equipment.
A doctor's prescription may exempt your purchase from sales tax. You may also qualify for income tax credits at income tax time.

Journey of Life
"We cannot presume tomorrow. NOW is the time to devote our daily breath to our joy and purpose. Celebrate life's precious moments from beginning to end." -Renya
Recently, I had the honor and pleasure of attending a One Woman Art Exhibit at the Truchas General Mercantile located on the High Road to Taos.
Highlighted Artist, Shelley Epstein, is a beautiful-bright-being. Her soul-shine is youthful and infectious. At the same time her body is dying. Family and friends, old and new, gathered in celebration of this bittersweet art opening sharing hugs, memories, joy and tears.
This art show was a powerful Wake-Up Call for I am one who carries a bounty of creative visions & dreams. Enough for 7 lives. Some I have tended to and actualized, many I have not. As much as I aim to complete this life clear, in peace, and without regret, witnessing Shelley embrace her remaining livelihood infused me with the powerful reminder ::: *Do it! Do it Now!!! Think not that you have all the time you want to fulfill your purpose and manifest your dreams.*

What is Dialing and Smiling
Dialing and smiling is a telemarketing technique in which unsolicited calls are made to prospective clients of a business or service. It is a colloquial term for "cold calling." In the financial context, the practice has acquired a negative connotation over the years as it is generally associated with high-pressure sales tactics used by unscrupulous stock promoters in "boiler room" operations. Such salespeople use an upbeat and positive tone to sell highly risky or sometimes spurious investments to unsuspecting investors. Dialing and smiling is also known as "smiling and dialing" or "dialing for dollars."
Breaking Down Dialing and Smiling
Dialing and smiling involves a call to a completely unknown person. Stock brokerages would employ the practice — often using leads generated from a database of leads — in an attempt to win new brokerage clients. Dialing and smiling practitioners often feel as though they are playing a role given the overly positive tone they must take and the fact that their efforts will not succeed most of the time. Some jurisdictions have regulations in place to limit the use of such cold-calling practices.
Dialing and smiling requires the use of leads to call, preferably ones vetted for net worth, income, profession, zip code or another clue to a target's ability to afford what is being pitched. Such lists can be purchased or built based on the needs of the user. Some dialing and smiling users will mine published corporate directories or call a company's main telephone line after hours to access their electronic telephone extension directory to find names and titles.
Dialing and Smiling and Do Not Call Registries
The introduction of "Do Not Call" (DNC) registries, which lists people who do not wish to receive unsolicited calls from telemarketers, has reduced the incidence of such calls. While the stiff fines imposed for violation of the DNC rules is a deterrent to legitimate businesses, it is less so for "boiler room" operators, which may be engaged in unlawful or illegal activities to begin with.
Dialing and Smiling Tactics
While such rules have had a chilling effect on the most controversial cold calling methods, the best practices that make up dialing and smiling may be applied to many types of sales and client prospecting efforts. For example:
- Not fearing the word "no": Most dialing and smiling callers will be rejected. They must quickly learn that the only thing that equals failure is not making the next call.
- Preparation: A caller must understand their prospects, their wants and needs, and know how to address them. Pitches should be practiced. And if possible, send an introductory email before calling.
- Pacing: Break calling lists into manageable pieces but be sure to keep momentum up. Calls are easier when you are on a roll.

Following allegations that he slept with a prostitute, Abbey Clancy has huge showdown with fiance Peter Crouch
Crikey, there was no way he was was going to get through this one easily... After yesterday's News of the World claimed that Peter Crouch had sex with a prostitute in Madrid while on a stag night last month, his fiancee Abbey Clancy is understandably raging (and that's still probably an understatement).
Although the model was still wearing her engagement ring as she left a Manchester TV studio where she's filming E4 show Great British Hairdresser yesterday, a source told The Sun that she is devastated following the revelation that the footballer cheated on her with a teenage hooker called Monica Mint. Talking to the paper, the insider explained:
"She screamed at him calling him every name under the sun. Crouchy's a big lad but she made him feel 2ft tall.
"He was pleading with her to forgive him, saying he still loved her like crazy.
"He tried to calm her with some tall story - but she was having none of it.
"She yelled 'You b******, how could you do this to me?'
"Abbey was livid someone she was madly in love with treated her so badly. She found out the true extent of what he'd done while she was filming in Manchester and rang in a blind rage.
"She feels hurt, angry and humiliated and is considering whether they have a future."
However, Peter is reportedly confident that they can work through it - he even took in a leisurely game of golf yesterday, with a pal saying:
"Peter went on the course to get away from it all. He thinks they can get through this and Abbey will forgive him like Toni Terry did with John."
We expect this will only make Abbey madder!
Do you think she can forgive her fiance of one-year after he paid for sex? Comments below...

The development has been applauded by many football fans, recognising that Celtic have led the way once more by becoming the first top tier side in the UK to get the green light for a safe standing area in their stadium.
Fans have been calling for a standing area to be introduced for several years so we are delighted that we can finally move forward to deliver this using a brand new rail seating system.
The initial roll-out will aim to accommodate around 2,000 supporters and demand for a place in the standing section is expected to be high.

Shylock: Villain or Victim
He is a Jewish moneylender who earns his living by charging interest on money he loans (like modern banks). He often speaks prose in the play, which marks him out as an outsider. He is persecuted by all the non-Jews he knows:
He tells Antonio, "suff'rance is the badge of all our tribe". He is verbally abused and bullied by most characters in the play and is called cruel names including "villain with a smiling cheek, cut-throat dog, bloody creditor, damned inexecrable dog". He is clearly an intelligent businessman:
He is very astute and is aware of other people's concerns - he knows all about Antonio's business ventures. The main reason he hates Antonio is financial: "I hate him for he is a Christian; / But more, for that in low simplicity / He lends out money gratis". So, why does he make such a strange agreement with Antonio, asking for a pound of Antonio's flesh instead of interest if the loan is not repaid within the arranged time? Does he genuinely want to be friends with Antonio when he says "I would be friends with you, and have your love"? He is Jessica's father. His daughter hates him and calls him a "devil". We see him being impatient with her and ordering her around. When she runs away, he seems as upset about the loss of his money as her: "My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter! ... My ducats and my daughter!" It would seem that Shylock cares for money more than anything else. Yet in an often forgotten moment when Shylock finds out his daughter traded his wife's ring for a monkey he cares only for its sentimental value. "Out upon her! Thou torturest me, Tubal: it was my turquoise; / I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor: / I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys". He wants revenge:
Perhaps it is the loss of Jessica as well as all the harsh treatment he has suffered from Antonio - and others - over the years that makes him bitter enough to ask for Antonio's pound of flesh. He cleverly argues in Act III, scene 1 that he is as much a man as a Christian is and so will follow the example the Christians set by seeking revenge. "The villainy you teach me I will execute". He is thrilled to hear that another of Antonio's ships is lost, making Antonio more vulnerable. "I thank God, I thank God. Is it true, is it true?" He is very confident that he will win, telling Antonio while he is in prison,"Thou call'dst me dog ... But since I am a dog, beware my fangs". He knows that the Venetian justice system will have to support him and so relishes beating Antonio at his own game. He resolutely refuses to listen to all the pleas for mercy during the trial scene (from the Duke, Bassanio and Balthazar), insisting all the time on justice and his pound of flesh. Do you think this is this a sign of strength or foolishness? He could have pardoned Antonio and shown himself to be morally superior - but would this have done him any good in the long run? Caught out by Portia, by the end of the trial he has lost all his money and has to suffer the humiliation of being forced to become a Christian. Shakespeare doesn't give Shylock any lines to tell us how he feels. How should he react? We never find out what happens to him. Weighing up all you know about Shylock, do you consider him to be more avillain or a victim?
Is Shylock a Villain or Victim?
Summary: Shylock, is the most noteworthy figure in Shakespeare's comedy, The Merchant of Venice. While no consensus has been reached on whether Shylock is a tyrannical villain or a tragic victim, evidence indicates he is a bloodthirsty villain.
Antonio's counterpart, Shylock, is the most noteworthy figure in Shakespeare's comedy, The Merchant of Venice. No consensus has been reached on whether Shylock is a tyrannical villain or a tragic victim. Shylock, in my opinion, is a bloodthirsty villain. In the following paragraphs, it will be shown that Shylock is a villain in every sense of the word. Namely, he is vengeful, very materialistic and...

Some Reasons Why Custom Made Curtains are Best
It is observed that among interior decorators and homeowners, their most popular choice for curtains is still the custom made ones, even if ready made curtains are abundantly available in any upholstery and furnishing stores. Custom made curtains would perfectly fit to your windows thereby giving you a flawless appearance, whereas with ready made curtains, you will not get the perfect fit you are looking for in most instances.
Your home will have a great new look if you will install custom made curtains. Whatever is your lifestyle and budget, this wonderful window treatment has different varieties that can be flexible to whatever you need. Whatever is your look, from classic to contemporary or trendy, custom made curtains can integrate your whims and will bring your dull windows into a new bright appearance.
Because custom made curtains will be manufactured to your specific requirements, you will have curtains that will fit flawlessly in your home. This factor is where the failure of ready made curtains set because these type of curtains are not produced based on the individual requirements of the customers.
When you choose your perfect curtain, it is important that you take into consideration the best quality for the fabric and that it would fit in your home.
Your next benefit in having custom made curtain is that your furnishing will be flexible. Your ideas with various designs and styles will be given a chance if you go for custom made curtains.
It is suggested that you select the right fabric for a room together with the kind of curtain specified based on the function of the room. So, if you have a room that needs air and more sunshine, you will have to choose a lightweight fabric for your window. Whether your room has classic or modern furnishings, other materials like lightweight cotton, nylon or lace curtains will easily blend with them. There are also heavyweight materials that you can use for your custom made curtains, like denim, velvet and tweed.
Colors and patterns are also important to go with your other room furnishing and upholstery. If your room is large, you would need bright colored curtains with vibrant prints and patterns in order to add the warmth and color of the room. The preferred choice of most interior designers to make a room appear spacious and cool are light colored curtains with floral patterns.
Another factor to consider when you are ordering your custom made curtain, is to take into account the correct or appropriate heading style, length and track pole width for your curtain. Also, if you have a large and strangely shaped windows, getting a perfectly fit curtains can be attained if you opt for custom made curtains.

This lesson explains how forex markets behave, and why prices fluctuate. You need to understand this basic information in order to develop your own trading system and to profitably trade in this market.
What is currency trading?
Forex traders make money by selling a currency position for more than they have bought it for. This is similar to other markets, such as the stock market.
One difference however, is that an FX trader can sell a position, and then buy it back later. This is called "short selling", or going short. A trader would do this if the market will decline. Of course, a trader can also buy a position for sale later at a higher price. This is called "going long".
It is therefore possible to make money in either up or down markets, as long as you can determine which direction the market will go in.
For every dollar in profit, someone else has lost a dollar. This is because when you "go long", someone else has "gone short", and they take the other side of your position. This is called a zero sum game. FX markets neither create or destroy wealth – they only move money from one party to another.
The minimum price movement in the FX market is called a "pip" and this generally represents 0.0001, where a price is quoted to four significant figures, or 0.01 where a price is quoted to two significant figures. This is usually between $8 and $10, depending on the currency pair you are trading.
Start Forex Trading
Most small FX traders lose money when they start forex trading. This is because their average profits are smaller than their average losses. There are several reasons for this:
- The trader may have selected a timeframe which results in brokerage expenses being too high as a proportion of profits. This usually means trying to trade very short term positions, which is difficult and costly.
- Not having a system that determines stop losses. The trader may use a stop loss which is too tight, and results in frequent exit from positions that end up being profitable, or stop losses that are too large and result in erosion of capital.
- Taking small profits instead of large profits. The tendency is to let losses go, but immediately realise small profits. Even professional traders are wrong in over 50% of positions so small profits will not compensate for losses.
- Focussing on predicting the market rather than managing risk. The trader's efforts go into trying to forecast where the market is going rather than concentrating on identifying existing trends and determining stop losses.
It is very difficult to ALWAYS make a profit. Often a position will move against you, despite your best efforts. You need to know how much adverse movement you need to tolerate before deciding that you have got the direction wrong, and closing out your position at a loss. You need to rely on your trading system to get you out of losing positions without you having to exercise your own judgement. To be a successful trader, you will need to take losses – this is one of the most important currency trading basics. Losses will occur.
Spot Currency Trading
Sometimes traders refer to "Spot Currency trading" or "Spot Forex". This simply means that you are trading forex in real time. An alternative to spot forex trading is currency futures. These are explained later.
Forex Trading Times
The Forex Market hours are from 5pm ET Sunday through until 5pm ET on Friday.
Trading Online currency
Trading online currencies involves high risk and only risk capital should be used.

News: Effective January 1, 2015, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has ruled that 1) No crayfish species shall be approved for open-system propagation and introduction into the waters of the Commonwealth. The culture and propagation of crayfish will still be permitted in closed systems, if the participant is registered for artificial propagation with the Bureau of Animal Health and Diagnostic Services 2) There is a restriction on the sale of all live native and non-native crayfish in this Commonwealth, except when they are sold for testing and scientific purposes, or restaurant consumption. The point of origin and destination must be documented with every delivery. It will be illegal to sell live crayfish in pet stores and bait shops 3) Licensed anglers may still harvest 50 crayfish/day. The crayfish head must be immediately removed behind the eyes upon capture unless the crayfish are used as bait in the waters from where they were taken. If an angler wishes to transport the crayfish from the waters from which they were collected, the angler must remove the head from behind the eyes.
To learn more about this rule, visit the PA Fish and Boat Commission website at www.fish.state.pa.us or contact the Ms. Laurie Shepler, Esq. at the PA Fish and Boat Commission at (717) 705-7810.
If you have any questions concerning registration as an aquaculture propagator or dealer, please contact Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Health and Diagnostic Services, Nan Korn (717)-772-2852.
In 2005, representatives of PennAg and the Pennsylvania Aquaculture Association (PAA) signed an agreement which created the PennAg Aquaculture Council. The PennAg Aquaculture Council has more than twenty members who represent a majority of the aquaculture production in Pennsylvania's nearly $9 million aquaculture industry.
Historically, the Pennsylvania aquaculture industry was regulated primarily by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. However, Act 1998-94 recognized aquaculture as a farming activity and transferred registration and regulation of aquaculture activities to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA), which remains the lead agency promoting and regulating the aquaculture industry. The PDA Aquaculture Production Development Program is located within the Bureau of Market Development. The program provides links to information regarding regulations affecting aquaculture, species production, research, sales and marketing. It provides many educational opportunities for aquaculturalists as well as guidance on business development, access to local sources for food fish, ornamental fish, sports fish and baitfish, and marketing initiatives designed to help fish farmers penetrate new markets and expand sales.
As Pennsylvania's aquaculture industry continues to develop, the need for research, education, outreach and compliance assistance with permits and license are the key areas of focus.
Pennsylvania is proud to rank fourth largest in trout production in the nation.
For additional information regarding the PennAg Aquaculture Council or aquaculture industry in Pennsylvania, please contact Colleen Hershey at email@example.com or 717-651-5920.

CSSI seeks to advance the sensory sciences through a better understanding of the effects of flavors and fragrances on human health, well-being and behavior.
The flavor and fragrance industry is a critical driver of innovation across a broad range of consumer and industrial products from foods, beverages, and medicines, to personal care, home care and cosmetics. The industry is critical to the nation's economic health since it encompasses virtually every aspect of daily life.
Flavors and fragrances elicit complex chemosensory experiences that dramatically affect health, well-being and behavior, yet the nature of these experiences remains poorly understood. For example, we do not understand how flavors and fragrances influence memory, cognitive function and mood. Nor do we understand the full range of benefits of flavors and fragrances in supporting immune function, fighting a variety of diseases ranging from infection to obesity to depression or, in a different realm, protecting food against spoilage. CSSI seeks to transform the sensory sciences through discovery and characterization of taste, aroma and flavor molecules, integrated with the study of their physiological and psychological mechanisms, to ultimately understand their effects on human behavior.
CSSI's mission is to (1) advance discovery and applications of flavors and aromas, (2) disseminate the scientific knowledge of flavors and aromas, and (3) educate new scientists who will contribute to these advances.
There are many limitations to our collective understanding of human perception processes including a lack of robust analytical methodology and instrumentation to measure various aspects of the physical, biological and social sciences of smell and taste perception. CSSI develops research projects to address broad and specific challenges to our understanding of the intersection of human perception with flavor and aroma stimuli and the biochemical processes that support these interactions. CSSI supports basic and applied research in several domains across the spectrum of chemosensory science, providing a focal point for industry-university collaboration. Research areas include:

It's all about composition.
Although functional programming has constantly been gaining popularity in the past few years, there is still much misconception and prejudice about it. Many people understand the term very superficially or don't understand it at all, and still claim to have adopted the way.
Most people never realize that functional programming is something more than just a set of new methods to write computer programs. It goes deeper even than the restrictions imposed upon value assignment and immutability, which makes our programs, sometimes, a little more difficult to write, but a lot easier to read and comprehend. In fact functional programming is a very different approach to programming, a different way of thinking about problems and expressing solutions.
So what exactly is functional programming? In procedural (and object-oriented) paradigm one thinks about their program as a sequence of steps that need to be taken in order to reach a certain goal. Input to the program is usually bound to a variable name, then some operations are executed on that variable and after execution is done, the final value of that variable becomes the result of the program. Let us illustrate this with a simple example implementation of factorial function in JavaScript.
On the other hand functional approach is to think about data being transformed rather than actions that our program executes. A factorial function might as well be implemented like so:
Not only is this code a lot shorter and more elegant, but it also fundamentally states things in different manner. Here we do not say: set result to 1, in a loop multiply it by some numbers and finally return it. Instead we declare that if input is greater than 1 factorial is n times the factorial of n's predecessor; otherwise it's just 1. Although in JavaScript this is less performant due to the necessity to allocate a stack frame for each recursive call, most modern compilers optimize away that inefficiency with ease1. This is how it would look like in a purely functional language Haskell:
A solid type system is a very important tool that can be used to ease the process of selecting proper transformations that turn our input into desired output. Suppose we have input of type a and require some output of type b. Then instead of writing down steps that convert such input into desired output, we look for functions in our libraries of type a → b. These are obvious candidates for our program's body. This way we naturally look for code already written and ready for reuse rather than implement the same algorithms over and over again.
Of course real-life problems are a lot more complicated than that and often require multiple transformations between the same types. We develop types and data structures of our own and then we need to define operations on these types ourselves, but in doing so we also look at types of components underlying our structures and define operations on our new structures in terms of operations on their components.
Moreover, it is almost always better to solve our problems with functions rather than built-in language constructs wherever possible. This is because unlike syntactic constructs, functions are composable. In the following example we have a list of records containing information about European capital cities. Suppose we need to sort them first by population count and then (in case of equal population) by density:
function city(name, population, area) {
this.name = name;
this.area = area;
this.population = population;
cities = [
new city("Rome", 2868000, 1285),
new city("London", 8136000, 1572),
new city("Paris", 2244000, 105),
new city("Berlin", 3000000, 891),
new city("Moscow", 11920000, 2511),
new city("Mardid", 3000000, 604)
function compare(a, b) {
if (a > b) return 1;
if (a < b) return -1;
return 0;
function name(city) {
return city.name;
function area(city) {
return city.area;
function population(city) {
return city.population;
function density(city) {
return population(city) / area(city);
function compareRecords(getter) {
return function(a, b) {
return compare(getter(a), getter(b))
function combineComparators(cmp1, cmp2) {
return function(a, b) {
let fst = cmp1(a, b);
return fst == 0 ? cmp2(a, b) : fst;
Notice the functions
area etc. below the object constructor. We introduce them as accessor functions for our objects, because in a functional style it's often more convenient than the dot-syntax for accessing object properties.
compareRecords is a general function that lets us build custom comparators for various objects. It requires as an argument the accessor function
getter which extracts a single property from an object.
combineComparators is even more interesting. It is a composition function that lets us combine simple comparators constructed with
compareRecords function. It takes two such comparators and returns a new one which runs the first comparator on given records and if they're considered equal then runs the second to further distinguish between them.
Notice how we prefer accessor functions to dot-operator for accessing record's fields. This is because functions can be passed to
compareRecords and
combineComparators as arguments, while syntactic dot-operator, which is not a function, cannot.
This is how we could (even more elegantly) express this in Haskell:
import Data.List(sortBy)
data City = City {
name :: String,
population :: Float,
area :: Float
cities = [
City { name = "Rome", population = 2868000, area = 1285 },
City { name = "London", population = 8136000, area = 1572 },
City { name = "Paris", population = 2244000, area = 105 },
City { name = "Berlin", population = 3000000, area = 891 },
City { name = "Moscow", population = 11920000, area = 2511 },
City { name = "Mardid", population = 3000000, area = 604 }
density c = population c / area c
compareRecordsBy getter record1 record2 =
compare (getter record1) (getter record2)
( >?> ) comparator1 comparator2 rec1 rec2 =
case comparator1 rec1 rec2 of
EQ -> comparator2 rec1 rec2
result -> result
main =
let cmp = compareRecordsBy population >?> compareRecordsBy density in
let sortedCities = sortBy cmp cities in
print (map name sortedCities)
Notice how Haskell derives accessor functions from the record definition for us. In fact the traditional dot-syntax for accessing record fields is not even available in Haskell for it would find little use anyway. Also notice how it allows us to declare a custom operator (
( >?> ) in this case) just as easily as any regular function.
A careful observer could have spotted another difference as compared to JavaScript implementation:
compareRecordsBy and
( >?> ) both have more arguments and they don't return functions at all. How can that be? A language feature called partial function application is here at work. When a function is applied to less arguments than it requires, instead of crashing, it just returns a new function, waiting for the remaining arguments to be delivered later2.
The code above is the result of thinking along the lines of ,,what transformations do I need to apply to my inputs in order to obtain desired output". Literally no steps or actions are mentioned here at all. All this code says is ,,A is B, C is D and F is A with C plus E". Code developed this way not only is more elegant, but also more generic and reusable. Notice how these functions above (both in JavaScript and in Haskell implementation) can be used to compare and sort any objects in any project at all.
In order to write the code like this a major mindset shift is required. ,,What to do?" seems a completely natural question to ask when facing a problem to be solved by a computer program. However, another approach is both possible and advisable. Instead of ,,what to do?" one should ask ,,what do I have?", ,,what do I need?" and finally ,,what's the relationship between the two?". Instead of ,,how to do it?" we ask ,,what is it?". Then we split the problem into smaller pieces and solve them recursively one by one; then finally we combine the results and we're done.
As it was mentioned before, the type system can be used to ease this process. ,,What functions are there to transform input of type I have into the type I need?" ,,How can I combine those functions to obtain desired result?" These are the questions one should ask and the type system of a strongly-typed language (such as Haskell or OCaml) from an opponent in the struggle to make things work, becomes a wise guide and powerful ally.
Tail call optimization, can be preformed whenever the final value of a function is expressed as pure recursive call without further modifications. In such case there is no need to create a new stack frame, as the old one is no longer needed and can be reused for the new call, effectively transforming the function into a loop. Most recursive functions that don't meet this criterium can be transformed so that they do, usually by adding additional arguments.↩
What we just said is a huge oversimplification, but I think it describes the phenomenon well enough without boring the reader with excessive details.↩

- Human Resources Board Member Kilian and Works Council Chairman Osterloh praise team performance
- For employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, bonus for 2018 rises by €650 compared with 2017
Volkswagen to pay performance-related bonus of €4,750
For 2018, the employees of Volkswagen AG covered by collective bargaining agreements are to receive a performance-related bonus of €4,750 gross. Compared with 2017, the bonus is therefore to rise by €650 gross. Human Resources Board Member Gunnar Kilian and Works Council Chairman Bernd Osterloh praised the performance of the team in the challenging year of 2018. They said that joint efforts would now pay off for each individual employee in the form of the bonus.
"In 2018, the Volkswagen team mastered difficult situations with tremendous dedication," said Kilian. "Our employees showed an extremely high degree of flexibility and therefore made a key contribution to the success of Volkswagen. It is right and important that employees should play their part when the going gets tough."
Osterloh emphasized: "2018 was a tough year for our colleagues. Many factors which were entirely beyond the control of the workforce had a direct impact on their everyday work in many cases. But our colleagues solved all the problems which arose. This is why it is only fair that Volkswagen employees should now receive their share in the success of the company.
This bonus is based on the two-year calculation period laid down in collective bargaining agreements. Of the latest bonus, employees covered by collective bargaining agreements already received €1,690.50 gross with their salary for November 2018. This means that employees are still to receive an amount of €3059.50 gross. This will be paid together with their salary for May.
Note for editorial teams:
The bonus paid gives no indication of the performance of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand. Among other factors, the calculation also takes account of the performance of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

At least he knows the system well and is athletic
I'd be ok with getting a good spec through the draft and rolling with what we have.
Why not sign Eric Berry for cheap!

Hope to see some new posters around here soon.
Not a fan of Bush starting. Maybe they draft someone. Hard to imagine pace doesnt trade down with at least one of the 2nds and acquired a mid round pick.
There's some good S prospects in this draft. I'd probably go S and IOL with our 2's, but I also hope we trade down a little bit, hopefully to recoup the 4 we lost.

Bush is an insurance policy - IMO, at worst depth and special teams. It would not surprise me if he is a starter in September, but ideally he is not.

It's a lot of guaranteed money, but I really thought Brady would get a higher AAV than that.
Makes that Graham deal look even worse. Would have been all over Ebron for that contract.

Wow that Ebron deal compare to Grahams.. wtf Pace.
Graham's definitely the healthier guy, but Ebron's younger and better at this point in their careers.

Techniques to a Healthy and Beautiful SkinHere are simple techniques for healthy and beautiful skin from your face to every inch of your body.
- Wash your face daily. It is best to use a mild cleanser for the face. Also you should wash your face twice a day to remove dirt, dust, excess oils an grime that would eventually clog your pores. Wash your face after getting up in the morning and before turning in to sleep.
- Do a facial at least once a week. This is to get rid of the excess oil and dirt that has settled deep in your pores.
- Moisturise your skin daily. If you are looking for a moisturiser that serves your skin best then you should use the Argan oil. You can use the Argan oil to your face and body and even on your hair, scalp and nails. This oil from Morocco is packed with components that help moisturise the skin, protect the skin from aging and keep the skin healthy such as Sterols, Vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, Linoleic acid, Ferulic acid, Carotenoids, Polyphenols and Prostaglandins.
- Apply sunscreen lotion everyday! You should never expose your skin to the sun's Ultra Violet rays without protection. The UV rays are known to do the most damage to the skin resulting to wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes, age spots, sunspots and worse skin cancer. 15 minutes before opening your door and stepping outdoors, make sure that you have lathered on to your skin a sunscreen lotion with an SPF 15 or higher.
- Avoid stress and manage stress well. Life comes with stress and if you want to prevent your skin from breaking out or developing wrinkles then you should see to it that you keep away from stress and know how to deal with stress. If you are stressed out with what you are doing such as work, take a break for at least 5 minutes. Most popular ways on how to get rid of stress is smiling, singing or exercising.
- Eat right, keep your body hydrated and get enough sleep! Keeping your body healthy also means keeping your skin healthy.

Happy Date for dinner, bus impatience, Google results as a restaurant, and brain mush
Grandma, once I made her look at the Google Image Search results for spaghetti: "Aiya! What restaurant makes THAT much noodles?! You shouldn't have those for dinner anyway, but instead for lunch! Only RICE for dinner!" Guess it really isn't "whatever I haven't had in a while" as dinner for ME...
Mom: "Here, read this! You might suffer from mom-nesia!" *reads the newspaper headline* "... waking up too often to CARE FOR BABIES may turn brains to mush!" Does that describe my life?! I DON'T THINK SO!
Dad: "When does Teunis leave? Oh, he left yesterday... no wonder you're depressed!" .... o_O WTF. *cue both parents saying stuff about how he should save money since his job isn't guaranteed, and he isn't even past the probation period* Um, yeah...
Mom, asking for my opinion on her banquet dress: "How do you like my outfit? Is it tight enough for you?" .... er, help?
Grandma, on the weather: "It's good that it isn't snowing!" Me: "It's JULY, almost AUGUST! Of course it's not snowing!" Grandma: "I just meant that it's good there's no snow! In January or February, it snows." Um, okay?

Layering is a means of plant propagation in which a portion of an aerial stem grows roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant. Layering has evolved as a common means of vegetative propagation of numerous species in natural environments. Layering is also utilized by horticulturists to propagate desirable plants.
Natural layering typically occurs when a branch touches the ground, whereupon it produces adventitious roots. At a later stage the connection with the parent plant is severed and a new plant is produced as a result.
The horticultural layering process typically involves wounding the target region to expose the inner stem and optionally applying rooting compounds. In ground layering or simple layering, the stem is bent down and the target region buried in the soil. This is done in plant nurseries in imitation of natural layering by many plants such as brambles which bow over and touch the tip on the ground, at which point it grows roots and, when separated, can continue as a separate plant. In either case, the rooting process may take from several weeks to a year.
Layering is more complicated than taking cuttings, but has the advantage that the propagated portion continues to receive water and nutrients from the parent plant while it is forming roots. This is important for plants that form roots slowly, or for propagating large pieces. Layering is used quite frequently in the propagation of bonsai; it is also used as a technique for both creating new roots and improving existing roots.
A low-growing stem is bent down to touch a hole dug in the ground, then pinned in place using something shaped like a clothes hanger hook and covered over with soil. However, a few inches of leafy growth must remain above the ground for the bent stem to grow into a new plant. Removing a section of skin from the lower-facing stem part before burying may help the rooting process. If using rooting hormone, the stem should be cut just beneath a node. The resultant notch should be wedged open with a toothpick or similar piece of wood and the hormone applied before burying.
The buried stem part then grows new roots which take hold in the soil while the above parts grow as individual new plants. Once the end of the stem has grown long enough the process can be repeated, creating the appearance of a row of plants linked by humped, intermittently buried stems. Better results can be achieved when the top of the plant is closer to the vertical.
Once the process is completed, the buried section should be kept well-watered until roots begin to form. The new individual plant may require one to two years before it is strong enough to survive on its own. When it is, the original stem should be cut where it enters the ground, thereby separating the two plants.
As layering does not involve sexual reproduction, new plants are effectively clones of the original plant and will exhibit the same characteristics. This includes flower, fruit and foliage. Plant selection usually involves plants with a flexible stem.
Simple layering can be more attractive when managing a cascading or spreading plant. These plants tend to propagate in this manner anyway, and potting a new limb will give extra plants without having to sow new seed.
Simple layering can also help when a plant has overgrown its pot and is drooping over the side. The long stem is layered into another pot until it roots, thus bringing it back to soil level.
Ground layering or mound layering is the typical propagation technique for the popular Malling-Merton series of clonal apple rootstocks, in which the original plants are set in the ground with the stem nearly horizontal, which forces side buds to grow upward. After these are started, the original stem is buried up to some distance from the tip. At the end of the growing season, the side branches will have rooted, and can be separated while the plant is dormant. Some of these will be used for grafting rootstocks, and some can be reused in the nursery for the next growing season's crop.
Ground layering is used in the formation of visible surface roots, known as "nebari", on bonsai trees.
In air layering (or marcotting), the target region is wounded, or a strip of bark is removed and then encased in a moisture-retaining medium such as sphagnum moss, or cloth which is further surrounded in a moisture barrier such as plastic film. Add soil and the scraped skin. Rooting hormone is often applied to encourage the wounded region to grow roots. When sufficient roots have grown from the wound, the stem is removed from the parent plant and planted. It can take the layer from a few weeks to one or more growing seasons to produce sufficient roots; this is largely dependent on the plant species and the vigor of the parent plant.

One reason the Rio Grande Valley is so popular among Winter Texans is the access to lower-priced drugs across the border. The same drugs can be found at a fraction of the U.S. cost, sometimes without a prescription.
So we welcome President Trump's efforts to address the disparity.
Drug prices have far outpaced the rate of inflation and helped drive overall health care prices, and in turn insurance rates, skyward. The issue gained prominence in 2015 when a young investor, Martin Shkreli, bought control of an AIDS drug maker and raised its price by 5,000. Similar but less extreme increases have been made to the makers of the EpiPen, used to counteract extreme allergic reactions, insulin and other drugs. The companies have endured class-action lawsuits and investigations for possible collusion by the Obama administration.
And still the prices rise.
Trump made drug prices a campaign issue and addressed it early in his presidency. He met with CEOs of major drug companies shortly after his inauguration in January 2017, and by May of last year he'd drafted an executive order that called for more transparency, and would allow patients with high deductible insurance plans to receive drugs without first having to reach the deductible limit. Critics said the provision merely got money to the drug makers sooner and did nothing to lower prices, and Trump never signed the order into effect.
The president also has suggested allowing government programs such as Medicare to negotiate drug prices directly with drug companies rather than going through intermediaries. The idea has been popular for some time but resisted by the drug makers. Most recently Trump has proposed an "international price index" under which Medicare would pay the global average for drug prices, which should lower the prices in this country.
It's a complex issue. Prices are lower in some countries because they are regulated by law. The companies make up for lost revenues in those countries by adding them to the prices in other countries.
Drug makers say much of their revenue funds research and development that improves medicines or creates new ones. Studies have shown, however, that they spend more on marketing than on research, and drops in revenues usually lead to cuts in research but not on marketing.
A contentious issue is the matter of drug patents, which rewards drug makers for the development cost of new medications, but locks out any competition that would impose market pressures to keep prices down.
Imposing artificial price controls isn't a serious option. It's abhorrent to most people in Trump's political base and many liberals probably are averse to such intrusions in the free market. More importantly, Richard Nixon imposed price controls four decades ago, with disastrous results.
The new year will give Trump a Democratic House and Republican Senate. If the three parties are willing to work together to seriously address it, perhaps they can make progress toward reducing one of the largest factors in the high cost of medical care in the United States.
