text: I was browsing the AbsoluteWrite forums last night when I saw this and I didn't see any note of it here. Harper Voyager is accepting unagented submissions from October 1--14. Here's the direct link at Thebookseller.com regarding this: http://www.thebookseller.com/news/harper-voyager-opens-doors-unagented-submissions.html I won't be doing it as I don't have anything ready but I thought some people might like to know about it. Oh, btw, this came to AW from Kevin Hearne, author of the Iron Druid Chronicles. So those of us who enjoy him (*puts hand up*) have another thing to thank him for now!

Interestingly, during the pre-financial crisis time period reviewed in the study, there appears to have been no correlation between investor behavior and an awareness of operational risk. However, in light of recent high-visibility blow-ups reflecting inadequate internal processes investor behavior has changed considerably.
In fact, a recent study by Citi Prime Finance focusing on more current investor behavior concludes that day one and early stage allocators to hedge funds are acutely aware of operational risk. In that study, the investors' top three concerns – track record, previous experience working together and investment team stability – were followed by a concern with the fund's operational infrastructure. (See Day One and Early Stage Investor Allocations to Hedge Funds, Citi Prime Finance, February 2012.) The study notes, "[t]here is growing sentiment that managers need to be more 'institutional' at launch to reflect a changing investor base."
Given the results of these studies, an important way to set your firm apart from the rest is to highlight the quality of your firm's governance structure and its related business functions and operational processes. Despite the concerns of potential clients, many managers mistakenly shy away from discussing operational risks, including compliance and regulatory issues. Instead, this calls for a proactive approach that differentiates the manager from the pack and allays concerns, which would otherwise delay an initial allocation, reduce its size, or prevent it altogether. Address this in an early page in your pitchbook. From then on, an investor should be primed to focus on your performance, your unique strategy, and your investment personnel.

I am in the process of buying a new camera. I am getting 18-55mm lens and a 55-250 lens what size of polarizing lens do I need?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The standard Canon Rebel T4i Kit comes with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens. This lens uses a 58mm filter size.
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens also happens to use a 58mm filter.
So you are in luck, because both lenses will utilize a 58mm polarizing filter.
You may also find value in these other question:
I'm assuming that by polarizing lens, you mean a polarizing filter for your lens. A filter is an attachment usually screwed on the front of a lens.
Both the lenses you've mentioned have a 58mm filter thread, so you can use the same filter on both. However, one important point to consider is that both these lenses have a front element that rotates during focus, which makes it a little frustrating to use a circular polarizing filter.

General literature does not seem to offer a characterisation of topological groups among all topological spaces. Of course, being completely regular (uniform) is necessary, but separation properties, or indeed any sort of "niceness" like pseudo-metrisability are not sufficient, since topological groups, for instance, cannot have fixed point property.
There is a homological criterion that is often helpful, to rule out the possibility for a topological space to admit a continuous group structure (even H-space structure):
The rational cohomology ring of a connected topological group (or H-space) $G$ is a connected graded-commutative Hopf algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$ and if $H^i(G;\mathbb{Q})$ is finite dimensional for all $i \ge 0$, then, by a theorem of Borel, $H^\ast(G;\mathbb{Q})$ is the tensor product of an exterior algebra on odd-dimensional generators and a polynomial algebra on even-dimensional generators.
For example $H^\ast(\mathbb{C}P^n;\mathbb{Q})=\mathbb{Q}[X]/(X^n),\; \deg x=2$ isn't of this form. Hence $\mathbb{C}P^n$ is no topological group.
For the theorem (and variations thereof) and further examples see Hatcher: Algebraic Topology, Section 3.C.
Every topological group is homogenous - this rules out spaces like $[0,1]$, $[0,\omega_1]$ or $\beta \mathbb{N}$.
This is really a long comment on the answer by Cleft accepted by the OP.
Note that there are homogeneous spaces with the fixed point property (e.g. the Hilbert cube) and there are first countable non-metrizable homogeneous spaces (e.g. Alexandroff's double arrow space). Under additional axioms, there are also homogeneous spaces (even compact ones) which are hereditarily separable but not hereditarily Lindelof and the other way around: some that are hereditarily Lindelof but not hereditarily separable. And the list goes on.
So homogeneity is far from characterizing topological groups (even in the class of compact spaces). On the other hand, a (kind of vague) question due to Kunen (I think) is: can one say something interesting about compact right topological groups that cannot be said about compact homogeneous spaces? (besides things like "do not have the fixed point property" or "admits a group operation which is continuous in one variable").
@N Unnikrishnan: Let $G$ be a topological group, and $a\ b\in G$. Consider $h:G\rightarrow G$ defined by: $$\forall_{x\in G}\quad h(x) := a\cdot x^{-1}\cdot b$$
Then $h$ is a homeomorphism such that $h(a)=b$ and $h(b)=a$. This shows that (in your terminology above) every topological group is strongly homogeneous.
In general, the above homeomorphism $h_{a\ b} := h$ is not an involution. Indeed, in general, it is not its own inverse (with respect to composition)--actually, $h_{b\ a}$ is the inverse of $h_{a\ b}$ (it is an involution in the Abelian case though since then $h_{a\ b}=h_{b\ a}$).
A necessary condition for a Hausdorff compact space to admit the structure of a topological group is the Suslin condition (I hope I am using proper terminology)
This is so because Hausdorff compact topological groups admit Haar measure.

Joan Marcus/Boneau/Bryan-Brown
NEW YORK � �The Book of Mormon� arrived on Broadway like a bawdy toddler, cursing and making poo jokes, but winning hearts anyway. Now, it�s ready for a road trip.
The nine-time Tony Award-winning musical opens its first national tour in Denver this month after its creators have gently prepared the little sister version to stagger off without them.
�Doing a musical is like having a kid,� said Trey Parker during a break in rehearsals in New York. �It�s out there alive somewhere. It�s not like a movie or a TV show where what we intended is what everyone will see. The kid can act out. The kid�s going to do what it wants to do.�
Parker, with fellow �South Park� writer Matt Stone and �Avenue Q� co-creator Robert Lopez, have left little to chance, showing up every day to make sure the touring company is up to snuff.
�It does need a parent sometimes to come in and say, �Hey!�� said Parker. �In a way, each production is kind of like a kid, too, because they do have a little bit different personality and there�s different things you have to worry about.�
Jokes Stone: �I think I�m going to like my third kid the best.�
�The Book of Mormon� was crowned best musical for its offensive yet good-natured look at two missionaries who arrive in Uganda and get way more than they bargained for, including gun-toting warlords and a running gag about maggots in a man�s scrotum.
It quickly became the hottest ticket on Broadway � last week, it was again sold out and had Broadway�s highest average ticket price at $186. The show also won a Grammy Award and recouped its $11.4 million capitalization after just nine months. A tour made sense, especially since box-office numbers haven�t softened since it opened in March 2011.
The tour, led by Gavin Creel, opens tonight at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver and runs until Sept. 2, and then it hits more than 15 cities including Los Angeles; San Francisco; Portland, Ore.; Seattle; Des Moines, Iowa; Minneapolis; St. Louis; Rochester, N.Y.; Detroit; Pittsburgh; Boston; Toronto; Buffalo, N.Y.; Cleveland; and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., by next summer.
There�s more on tap: Another production is slated to open in Chicago in December and by March 2013 all the silliness will be available at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London.
�Once they do it on Carnival Cruise Lines, we�re done,� said Parker.
So far, there are no plans to turn the property into a film. Parker said they might if the movie version was �totally different and its own thing,� adding: �People won�t necessarily expect what it turns out to be.�
The creators have made no changes to the story or score for the touring stage version, although they did have to make a slight tweak to accommodate the much larger venues the show will now play in.
�We added a couple of Africans to populate Africa a little bit. But that�s it. The show�s the show,� said Parker, who adds, straight-faced: �We�ve written pure gold. It�s hard to screw it up.�
While that may be hard to deny, the trio insist they had no idea �The Book of Mormon� would become the massive hit it has become when they first delivered their baby on Broadway.
Parker just hoped it didn�t close quickly. His secret wish? That it became �biggish.� Stone also was risk-averse: �I didn�t want to fail. Maybe that�s a year and a-half or a year.�
Parker says all three are used to being on the outside looking in, whether it�s with the foul-mouthed kids from �South Park� or the foul-mouthed puppets of �Avenue Q.�
�We�ve never been the top dog. We�ve always been the weird little show over here flipping off the teacher,� he said. �And so to be, all of a sudden, The Show? We�re not totally comfortable. We don�t know what that feels like.�
Jokes Lopez: �I�m still not OK with it.�
Parker and Stone first met Lopez after a performance of his �Avenue Q,� the funny, often raunchy musical tribulations of twentysomethings. Lopez credited the �South Park� guys with laying the groundwork for his quirky, profane musical and they, in turn, told Lopez he had inspired them.
�I kind of had counted Broadway out for dead. It was all remakes of movies. It was always something rehashed,� says Parker. �If nothing else, I�ll be most proud if we somehow change Broadway just a little bit and make more original stuff come out.�
The three have discussed working together again, but so far a story like the one that tumbled out organically about Mormon missionaries hasn�t emerged.
�We�ve thought of it. We just haven�t thought up the idea,� says Lopez, who is working on a comedy project with his brother for ABC. Adds Stone: �We�re just waiting for `aha!��

More robust control of zfs in Solaris Cluster 3.x
By Juergens-Oracle on Dec 19, 2011
In some situations there is a possibility that a zpool will not be exported correctly if controlled by SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource. Please refer to the details in Document 1364018.1: Potential Data Integrity Issues After Switching Over a Solaris Cluster High Availability Resource Group With Zpools
I like to mention this because zfs is used more and more in Solaris Cluster environments. Therefore I highly recommend to install following patches to get a more reliable Solaris Cluster environment in combination with zpools on SC3.3 and SC3.2. So, if you already running such a setup, start planning NOW to install the following patch revision (or higher) for your environment...
Solaris Cluster 3.3:
145333-10 Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3: Core Patch for Oracle Solaris 10
145334-10 Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3_x86: Core Patch for Oracle Solaris 10_x86

Now a days, almost every DSLR camera comes with many focal points 9, 11, 22 etc. Many of them provide us with settings to chose manual focus point while shooting images, apart from the auto-selection of focus point based on the in-device calculations. What I want to ask here is, can we select multiple focus points while shooting something, say portrait? That said, in the current scenario while I have control over a single point (which we, or the camera can stress upon) and having a shallow DOF, if I focus on the nose, the eyes get blurred slightly. Of course, I can always increase the DOF, but here I don't want to. I want to select multiple focus points. This sounds a little kinda against the rule of optics though.
PS: I have a canon EOS 550D.

Serves 4-6
Pizza Oven Environment
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1–2 tablespoons oil
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic and pound until 1⁄4 inch thick. Season with salt and then lightly dredge with flour, shaking off any excess. Place a sauté pan large enough for two cutlets in the oven; heat for 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil and then heat for 30 seconds more. Place the cutlets in a single layer in the hot sauté pan. Turn the chicken when it is lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Cook about 4 minutes more. Remove to a plate, cover, and set aside. Continue with the remaining chicken, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
In the now empty sauté pan, add the garlic and deglaze with the wine. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the wine has reduced to 2 tablespoons, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the broth, lemon juice, capers, and chicken cutlets. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Place chicken on serving plates. Add the butter and parsley to sauté pan, swirl to combine, and then pour over chicken.

For thousands of years, people in many cultures have made tassels from beautiful cords or simple strings in order to bind fabrics, or merely to create decorations. During the Victorian era, the French raised tassel-making to a fine art of opulent ornamentation.
Since 1995, Tassels, 12004 Shelbyville Road, has maintained a similar standard and luxurious feeling in its custom-made furniture, bed linens, window treatments, pillows and headboards. Its room groupings display a wide range of manufactured and hand-decorated items for home or office.
Leila Davis, daughter Daven Barnett, and Daven's friend Marsha Riggle first opened Tassels on a nearby Middletown street. Within less than a year, it had outgrown that site, and they moved it to its current location. Leila and Daven brought their business backgrounds to the enterprise, while Marsha contributed her experience in custom-making draperies and interior design.
"We put our heads together," Leila said, "and here we are 17 years later –the three amigos."
At first, Tassels sold only fabric, but furniture and accessories quickly followed. Jewelry is the latest addition, with pieces ranging from wide leather cuffs with fleur-de-lis embellishments to sparkling jeweled watches.
Over the years, the store has earned a reputation for keeping up with the latest and biggest trends.
"There have been several phases: the opulent Roman look, for example, with lots of black and gold; and French Country, with its distressed furniture," she said. "What's happening now is that our customers, who tend to be younger than baby boomers, want furnishings that are more practical and streamlined. A lot of people call it Transitional style – neither modern nor traditional."
People want to feel comfortable, cozy and connected at home, she explained. Furnishings and accessories which imply that their owners are well-traveled are very popular, because they proclaim, I'm a citizen of the world, and my home is the center of my world.
"Travel nostalgia continues to be a big trend," Leila said. "That includes the 'postage' design, with elegantly written addresses and postmarks in French from the Thirties. It lets you have something that looks elegant on a simple, neutral fabric. Our trends are taking us backward, not forward, and usually are trying to find something that was comfortable in the past."
Those neutral fabrics often are shades of beige or gray these days; in fact, gray is the new black. It provides a dramatic backdrop for chartreuse green or crisp yellow. Tassels' designers, who provide in-home services or complementary consultations in the store, remind their clients that a neutral background can be updated, even seasonally, by adding bursts of color on pillows, rugs and other accents.
"Animal patterns are always in style, although they may be in unusual colors or textures—orange zebra stripes, for example," Daven said. "Two other patterns are our most popular right now: Suzani, which has colorful concentric circles; and Ikat [pronounced "Eye-cot"], mainly on cotton and linen, which has tiny striations. Both styles have an exotic feeling."
Tassels orders furniture, fabrics and accessories from almost 1,000 vendors, including Highland House, Fabricut, Circa, Pearson, Tibo and Scalamandre.
"We pick and choose from our vendors, and don't do entire lines," Leila said. "We look for their best pieces, then mix and match them with some less expensive ones. That keeps us more in control: If you carry an entire line, they are in control – take it or leave it. We try to be more responsive to the customer's needs."
These three entrepreneurs recently opened a second store next door.
"It's called Tassels Too! and it's for inventory that has been in Tassels longer than we would like," Marsha explained. "We think of it as our outlet store—the place for any scratch-and-dent items and the short ends of our fabrics. It's great for customers looking for bargains."
Tassels and Tassels Too! attract shoppers from all around the region, including Indianapolis and Cincinnati.
"We knew we had 'arrived' when the Baptist Urgent Care center described themselves as 'next door to Tassels on Shelbyville Road,'" Leila said, laughing. "That proved to us that we had been chosen as a destination."
Tassels, 12004 Shelbyville Road, is open 10 a.m. and to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday. For more information, visit www.tasselsfabricsanddesign.com, like the store on Facebook, or phone 502.245.7887.

Though I understand basically what I have to do I need further clarifications on the formula chosen for curvature quantification (The next formula after "To quantify the curvature we integrate the square of the second derivative").
Also any other examples, links are welcome.
PS: I have an engineer background but I understand some math.
PS2: Since I am a new user could you create 'spline' and 'curvature' tags (or tag this more appropriately)?

Syphilis develops in stages, and symptoms vary with each stage. But the stages may overlap, and symptoms don't always occur in the same order. You may be infected with syphilis and not notice any symptoms for years.
The first sign of syphilis is a small sore, called a chancre (SHANG-kur). The sore appears at the spot where the bacteria entered your body. While most people infected with syphilis develop only one chancre, some people develop several of them. The chancre usually develops about three weeks after exposure. Many people who have syphilis don't notice the chancre because it's usually painless, and it may be hidden within the vagina or rectum. The chancre will heal on its own within six weeks.
Within a few weeks of the original chancre healing, you may experience a rash that begins on your trunk but eventually covers your entire body — even the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. This rash is usually not itchy and may be accompanied by wart-like sores in the mouth or genital area. Some people also experience muscle aches, fever, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. These signs and symptoms may disappear within a few weeks or repeatedly come and go for as long as a year.
If you aren't treated for syphilis, the disease moves from the secondary to the latent (hidden) stage, when you have no symptoms. The latent stage can last for years. Signs and symptoms may never return, or the disease may progress to the tertiary (third) stage.
About 15 to 30 percent of people infected with syphilis who don't get treatment will develop complications known as tertiary (late) syphilis. In the late stages, the disease may damage your brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones and joints. These problems may occur many years after the original, untreated infection.
Babies born to women who have syphilis can become infected through the placenta or during birth. Most newborns with congenital syphilis have no symptoms, although some experience a rash on the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet. Later symptoms may include deafness, teeth deformities and saddle nose — where the bridge of the nose collapses.
Call your doctor if you or your child experiences any unusual discharge, sore or rash — particularly if it occurs in the groin area.

I've been seeing people mention in chat that they have a bunch of copies of keys for the same portal. How are they doing this? I feel like I have a hard enough time getting one copy of a key for most portals.
Before recent changes about portal key generation to own multiple keys of the same portal you had to drop the key of the aimed portal before hacking it. Then, you had chances to gain a second portal, grab the dropped key and you had two keys.
Now that portal keys are much rarest when hacking, you can gain a key even if you were already carrying the same portal key, but you'll have to be patient and persistent.
Note that sometimes, when making a big XMP blast on an enemy resonator, a portal can drop a portal key (his key or a key of the linked portal).
EDIT January 2014 : since a few weeks, if you already hold a portal key, you have nearly 0% of chances to get another one. To obtain a new key, drop the keys you own, then hack and you'll probably get a new key (~80%)
They try. And try again. . I doubt that there are any factors besides random chance involved.
One enemy portal which I hack at most twice daily has given me three keys during the last two weeks or so; I've got no keys from some others which I hack three times as often.
Keys are issued randomly and the random chance of getting one fluctuates quite a bit at the moment as the game devs settle the tuning. I'm getting lots of keys again now, where is a two days ago I was getting nothing.
^^^ That is nonsense. I've now got multiple keys for portals in my inventory.
Chances seem greater to hack an extra portal key when you "hide" the one in inventory in a capsule, if you are lucky enough to have one.
You can also put a key in a capsule and then hack it again. I do this quite often.

Weight Loss Duet Red Raspberry Ketones & Green Coffee Bean Rapid Fat Burner
DUET brings 2 of the most potent ingredients together in Red Raspberry Ketones and Green Coffee Bean Rapid Fat Burner to give you simple, "jitter-free" weight loss. A daily 2 cap dose gives you 900 mg of GCB extract (50% chlorogenic acid) to prohibit absorption of fats and jumpstart the liver's metabolism to "burn" fat.
The 250 mg of 100% pure red raspberry ketones are responsible for regulating sugars and fat stores. Raspberry ketones encourage our bodies to free up lipids or fats for fuel by increasing the secretion of a hormone called adiponectin. That's why you may even have more energy when you use DUET. This formula also contains 150 mg of Ceylon cinnamon as a catalyst and binding agent for aiding in blood sugar regulation.
A weight loss leader for 25 years, you can trust Esteem Products to bring you the best in this new, effective, synergistic formula.

No. 104 - Opportunities and Benefits from Pork Industry Organization (Study)
Quick Links
- News Release (html)
- Executive Summary (html)
- Executive Summary (pdf)
Changes in consumer demand for pork products over the past 20 years have led to rapid changes in the way hogs are produced and marketed. Vertical integration--in which successive stages of production and distribution are placed under the control of a single company--and virtual integration--when processors choose to use qualified suppliers who ensure the availability of at least a portion of their needs with known quality--are two of the most pervasive and controversial changes. This analysis finds increased integration in the pork industry benefits hog producers, consumers, and processors. Production and marketing contracts are helping many small and mid-sized producers better manage risk while gaining access to the capital and markets they need to remain competitive. Well-intentioned policymakers should leave well enough alone.

import existing view to project
I know you can import component but...
I'm wondering if there is (or will be) a way to import existing views into project.
It happened to me many times for different reason that it would have save me a lot of time if that would have been possible.
I guess that could also be useful for models, stores and controllers.

I searched the Internet, and most suggest that pull-ups do not require warming up. But that advice is for "normal" people and professionals, while I have a weak body. I can at best manage to do two pull-ups, and then it will hurt for days. Can anyone give me some suggestions about how to do proper warming up before pull-ups?

When you say "hurt", do you think its a muscle soreness (a broad, burning sensation in your muscles), or joint pain (sharp, localized pain in your elbows, shoulders, or upper back)? If its muscle soreness, that's to be expected. Joint pain is something else.
Its possible that you don't have a "warming up" problem, but that you're just not strong enough to do any more than 2 pullups right now. That's fine, everybody was there once.
From my own personal history: 4 years ago, I couldn't do more than 1 pullup. I've worked at it on and off since then, and can now do a dozen.
What didn't work for me
I agree with you, when you look at the literature on starting to do pullups, you see a lot of advice to just start with your body weight, and do as many as you can. People also recommend doing "negative only" pullups, where you jump over the bar and lower yourself down.
I imagine that actually works for some people (experienced athletes, weightlifters who've never tried to do pullups, lightweight athletes), but it never worked for me. Back when I tried to do that, I kept hurting myself. My shoulder girdle simply wasn't strong enough to handle the strain, and I'd get a lot of pinching around my shoulder blade. Also, I had a flexibility issue in my bicep that caused my left elbow to keep getting tendonitis when I'd lower. Trying to work directly with my bodyweight was just something I wasn't ready for yet.
What did work for me
If you're only able to do a very low number of pullups (<5), and feel stuck at that number, I'd recommend trying to find a gym that has an assisted pullup machine (preferably), or a lat pulldown machine. On either machine, find a weight where you can perform the pulling motion for 3 sets of 7-10 repetitions, and try to build from there. If you're stuck with a lat pulldown machine, try and stick with a shoulder-width grip, like you'd use on a regular pullup. Focus on doing pulls (on either machine) with proper form, and through a full range of motion, bring the bar down under your chin, to your neck. As you get able to do 10 reps, bump the weight up, and and do sets of 7 reps.
If you keep this up, hopefully you'll get closer and closer to pulling down your bodyweight (on a lat pulldown) or needing almost no assistance (on a assisted pullup machine). At some point you'll have to start bridging over to doing real pullups, and there will be an adjustment period, because the machines won't completely capture the real pullup motion, but you'll be in a much better position to tackle them then!
I would suggest putting goals and a exercise plan together so you can workout in a progressive manner without getting injured or discouraged. Doing 2 pull ups and being in pain for a few days is a sign that you need to build up your core and back (and probably all other) main muscle groups. Don't get discouraged, get organized, set goals and plan it out.

I would like to know how long it takes to steam brown rice.
This is an impossible question because it depends on the rice you are using: Some rice cooks in 10' other rice in 20'. That's a huge difference.
Also, some people like the rice to be slightly undercooked and others like it very overcooked.
At any rate, if you are used to boiling one type of rice for some amount of time, try steaming for about 20%-25% longer and see what you get.
You can try the rice by taking a grain and looking at it. If it has a white dot in the middle it's not done. When the white dot disappears, take a bite and see for yourself whether you like it.

The current generation of American political conservatives is not well-known for its firm grasp of history.
Accordingly, it strikes me as a good idea to warn these right-wing partisans against making any snarky suggestions that Ronald Reagan would have done better than Barack Obama in dealing with yesterday's missile attack on a civilian passenger plane in the skies over Ukraine.
HERE's a history lesson worth taking to heart:
On Sept. 1, 1983, the Soviet Union shot down a Korean Airlines passenger airliner traveling from New York to Seoul, killing 269 people…
[I]t is worth recalling that Reagan�s own response in 1983�did not get good reviews from the Fox News of the day. According to Richard�Reeves�s �President Reagan," the administration was seen as far too weak.
True, the president�s�nationally televised address on Sept. 5 was full of strong rhetorical condemnation:�Reagan called the Soviet action �monstrous,� �murderous,� and �born of a society which wantonly disregards individual rights and the value of human life.�
But little action followed. Reagan demanded an apology to the world and continued a number of sanctions � but he decided not to end grain sales to the USSR or to suspend arms control talks. George Will argued that �the administration is pathetic�. We didn�t elect a dictionary. We elected a President and it�s time for him to act.�� The Manchester Union-Leader editorialized that �if someone had told us three years ago that the Russians could blow a civilian airliner out of the skies � and not face one whit of retaliation from a Ronald Reagan administration, we would have called that crazy. It is crazy. It is insane. It is exactly what happened.�
Even at the height of the Cold War, however � and�keeping in mind that the flight had departed from the U.S., with dozens of American passengers, including a sitting member of Congress � Reagan told a National Security Meeting that �we�ve got to protect against overreaction.�Vengeance isn�t the name of the�game.�

Baxter Finishes Second at Lynchburg Multi MeetMay 6, 2014
LYNCHBURG, Va. – Anderson University's Jill Baxter claimed first in both the high jump and the javelin throw, but a 475-point deficit following Monday's four events proved too much to overcome, as the junior finished second to Queens' Mystique Ro in the women's heptathlon at the Lynchburg College Multi Meet.
Baxter, who also finished second at the same event a year ago, posted a time of 19.53 in the 100 meter hurdles, then captured first in the high jump with a height of 1.51 meters. The Denver, N.C., native narrowly finished second in the shot put with a toss of 9.29 meters and wrapped up Monday's four events with a third-place showing in the 200 meters in a time of 29.00.
Baxter notched second in Tuesday's long jump with a distance of 4.43 meters and followed up by earning first place in the javelin throw with a distance of 30.73 meters. She closed the two-day event with a time of 2:48.19 in the 800 meter.

Which way is more beneficial and productive?

Should one learn new languages or only should concentrate on languages you already know and increase your knowledge of it? [closed]

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I think you need both. You have to focus on your core competencies and improve your understanding of them, but at the same time it's beneficial to look outside and see what else is out there. Exposure to other approaches and other languages is very important to make one a better developer overall. There are many ways to skin a cat, as it were, and knowing as many of them as possible will make you
So, spend most of your time getting better at your chosen proficiency and spend some of your time on learning something new.
Someone said "A language that does not change the way you think about programming is not worth learning".
So, if you know Java, there's little gain in learning C# (or vice versa). If not for pragmatic reasons (i.e, you need it to solve a problem), i would suggest stick to one Language per Paradigma, and your schedule is still full enough ;).
Specializing, on the other hand, is in my experience mostly achieved 'in the field', i.e, when working on a project, so it comes naturally.
There are a lot of really good arguements on both sides. Many years ago I was presented with that exact question... concentrate on my primary language and be attempt to become an "expert" OR pick up a new language and broaden my marketability. I chose to concentrate on one language.
There's really not going to be a wrong answer. Both have merits, it's really going to boil down to which one fits better for you and where you want your career to go.
Learning new languages is mostly a means to get new concepts and increasing your efficiency with programming. Learning programming in itself is very different from learning a new language to program in.
You should concentrate on making your programs better (and there are a lot of metrics for measuring that, many subjective; does not matter, take your pick on the metrics and refine them over time, use them for your education).
Having said this, learning 'newer' languages (say,
Which brings us to summarize on the primary question:
Dominate a programming framework (and related language), and leave some spare time for another, preferably different "domain". Example: C++ client-server, Ruby on Web
Learning a New Language
It depends on the purpose for which you are learning the language. If you are learning the language because it uses a different paradigm or is suited for a particular problem domain. However, if it is a language very similar to the one you already know and all you plan to do is rewrite all of your existing code in that new language, there probably isn't that much value (for instance, rewriting a python webapp in ruby) in it.
Deeper Knowledge in Current Language
If you already feel very comfortable programming in a language, are familiar with all its idioms, and can write programs in it without having to look in the documentation for every single library call, there probably isn't much more to learn about it. If, on the other hand, your knowledge of the language is not that deep, there may be some value in learning more. Some good ways of gauging whether you are in the former or latter camp for language X are
If your answers to these questions are somewhere along the lines of "a lot", "most of them", and "yes, and it's getting annoying", it's a good indication that you've mastered the language and should move on to something new.
If you are already good enough with the language you are familiar, there's no good to learn very detailed, specific tricks for a little cool... it'll be totally a waste of time. However when you're quite uncomfortable with a language the suggestion is to master that language first.
Besides languages there's frameworks, patterns... to learn a framework you must know a language, so for very similar languages learning them helps nothing than bring some not so funny fun.
My personal opinion is you should always develop your capabilities to make faster, securer, more robust software, for more platforms, and make the time taken shorter, for that aim you may need to learn a new language, a new framework, a new IDE (that's just as important as a language), and only when you are for that purpose your investment is worthwhile.
At least don't learn a new language to increase the number of languages you know.

5 Survival Stories (Almost) Too Miraculous to be Real
A human being is a fragile creature. All it takes is a nasty bump or a wrong meal to finish us off. Still, as we have previously pointed out, under the right circumstances people can be borderline invincible. There are a few men and women who have been able to survive things that could -- and by all rights should -- kill a horde of elephants. Let's take a moment to celebrate these unkillable supermen.
#5. The Man Who Was Trapped Underwater (for Three Days)
Konstantins Visnevskis/Photos.com
With hindsight, Harrison Okene probably should have seen the signs. All of the ingredients were in place: He was young, happy, and gainfully employed as a cook on a Chevron service tugboat. Also, he was about to get married in a few days. All he had to do before his wedding was finish this one ... last ... mission.
Don't worry, he lives. She's crying about catering.
Of course, said mission turned into the most terrifying disaster movie this side of the SS Poseidon. In the early morning of May 26, 2013, Okene had just gotten up and was in the bathroom. Suddenly, his ship was hit by what a spokesman later called a "sudden ocean swell" (which is presumably corporate speak for "Shit, we accidentally summoned Cthulhu again").
Okene could only watch helplessly as his daily life turned into a trip to Rapture. The tugboat capsized and plummeted 100 feet below the surface, with him still inside. Trapped in the dark abyss with no one else in sight and wearing nothing but his boxers, Okene waded through the ship's corridors (which were slowly filling with icy water). He managed to locate a source of light, some Coca-Cola, and a few tools, and he made it to a relatively safe corner of the ship.
ITStock Free/Photos.com
That dissolved gas is oxygen, right? Right?!
Okene ended up bunking in a 4-foot air pocket under the surface, holding back the water as best he could and stacking mattresses as the cold water rose to keep dry. To make things worse, sharks and barracudas soon started roaming the ship's interiors in search of a meal. He could hear them fighting for the remains of his shipmates in other rooms and swimming in the water just below him. He had no food. The salt water and the bumps from the accident were wearing his skin raw. There was far too little air for him to breathe, and he was ruining it with every breath by puffing out carbon dioxide. He would not last beyond a couple of hours.
Except that he totally did. In fact, he managed to stay alive for 62 hours. Here's how:
That little beauty is called Boyle's law. It states that when you increase atmospheric pressure (say, by sinking 100 feet underwater), gases become denser. This meant the tiny air pocket actually contained a lot more oxygen than it would on land. Meanwhile, that lethally cold water aided Okene by absorbing the murderous carbon dioxide he was breathing out, so the CO2 levels never built up to toxic levels, either.
When the company finally got around to sending a recovery team (they had, understandably, been assuming everyone was dead), Okene gave a diver the shock of a lifetime: The second he heard human sounds, he announced his presence by pounding the shit out of a wall with a hammer.
The divers fled, fearing pirate ghosts, but they returned with backup.
After a quick rescue operation and a stint in a decompression chamber, Okene emerged back in the land of the living, as good as new. Divers all over the world marvel at his tenacity, as those depths can only safely be dived for about 20 minutes at a time. Meanwhile, Hollywood screenwriters are still trying to wrap their heads around the fact that a dude who was just about to get married actually survived a disaster.
#4. The Man Who Rode a Tornado
If there's one thing to be learned from notable documentaries such as Twister and Sharknado, it's that tornadoes are as disastrous as tornado movies are terrible. Getting caught near one means a collapsed house on your head or worse. Getting caught in one means a quick, nasty, flying trip at NASCAR speeds, with lethal winds and flying debris in a heated contest to see who can pulverize you first. There's no surviving a ride like that. That is, unless you're Matt Suter.
In 2006, the 19-year-old Missouri native was in his grandmother's trailer home when the weather became rowdy. In an attempt to shield himself from the storm, Suter was just standing on the sofa and attempting to close the living room window. Suddenly, things got 10 kinds of crazy. The noise became unbearable. The floor of the trailer started "moving just like Jell-O." A massive force hit the trailer, tearing the doors from their hinges and generally wrecking shit. Furniture went into Poltergeist mode, flying around and smacking into Suter.
M. Thivierge/Wikimedia
Mobile homes are not particularly known for their stability.
At this point, it was clear that the storm was a twister. This became even clearer when Suter, wearing only his underpants, was sucked out of the trailer through a collapsing wall into the raging darkness beyond. As death scenes go, this was both extremely cinematic and utterly unsurvivable.
Except that he totally survived. By the time Suter regained consciousness, he was lying four football fields away from the remains of the trailer. The twister had been hurling him around until he ended up in a grass field almost a quarter mile away and across a barbed wire fence. He survived the 150 mph ride with just minor cuts and bruises.
He used this diagram in traffic court to contest his speeding ticket.
The astonished agents of the National Weather Service measured the precise distance of his flight at 1,307 feet, which is the longest tornado-aided flight a human being has ever survived, especially with such minor injuries. Really, the only reason we're not thinking Suter is secretly Superman is the fact that in 1955, a 9-year-old girl also miraculously survived a 1,000-foot tornado ride. That she took with her pony.
#3. The Kid Who Survived a Plane Crash and Tamed a Mountain
Fish and Wildlife Service/Wikimedia
To say that Norman Ollestad Jr. got into extreme sports at a young age would be a severe understatement. His dad, Norman Sr. -- a notorious adrenaline junkie -- started pushing him into the scene about five minutes after Mama Ollestad popped Junior out.
Spy007au via Wikimedia
Junior's umbilical cord made bungee jumping an obvious choice.
So while most of us were busy building booger constructs and pissing ourselves at the thought of rides at Six Flags, Ollestad was deep sea fishing and going on jungle safaris to find secret surfing spots.
Ollestad didn't always enjoy daddy's lessons, but they did make him tough. He became a master at everything extreme, from comfortably riding on his father's back while he was surfing at age 1 to effortlessly skiing impossibly difficult slopes at freaking 4.
If he tired of being a badass, a modeling career awaited him.
When it came to pure mad skills, Ollestad was the world's best-equipped child to cope with any bullshit fate could throw at him. Too bad fate found out about him and said: "Oh yeah? We'll see about that."
On February 19, 1979, Ollestad -- 11 at the time -- and his father were flying to Big Bear Mountain to retrieve a trophy he had won the day before. Their Cessna was caught in a blizzard and crashed in the mountains at around 8,600 feet. Ollestad's dad and the pilot were killed instantly. Ollestad was more or less OK, because of course he was, but the other survivor (his father's girlfriend, Sandra) had a dislocated shoulder and a busted head. This less-than-ideal situation was soon made a whole lot worse, because the rescue helicopters completely missed them. They were on their own. The only way back to civilization was climbing the hell down.
Maciej Korzekwa/Photos.com
Maybe the rescuers actually spotted him and watched from above, eating popcorn.
Because the trip had been just their family's version of a quick afternoon errand, Ollestad didn't even have a pair of gloves. All he had was an impossibly steep mountainside, his father's training, and a primal will to live. Carry-dragging the injured Sandra with him, he started making his way down, an inch at a time. Because the universe really wanted to rub it in, Sandra soon lost her grip and fell right before Ollestad's eyes. We assume that a cloud shaped like a middle finger drifted across the sky immediately afterward.
At that point, most grown men would just lose their shit and give up. Instead, Ollestad fucking leveled up and continued with a full health bar. He went into survival mode, ignoring all the pain and fear. Hanging on by his fingernails, Ollestad made his way down until he finally got to more solid ground. Having found the challenge slightly too easy, he decided to up the ante by descending the rest of the way by skiing: He used a couple of branches as poles and his sneakers as skis.
Which is not unlike using your shoes for other activities. That is to say, impractical.
After nine hours, Norman finally made it down the mountain in surprisingly good condition, immediately inciting a media frenzy. A few years ago, he wrote a book about the experience. A movie is also in the works, although its production has been delayed -- presumably because they're still trying to find an actor who can read the script without being immediately hospitalized by a serious case of spontaneous ball-shriveling.
