Why is murder wrong?
I take it as a given that every reader of this journal believes that murder is wrong. (By murder, I mean the immoral taking of a human life — not killing in defense of self or others; not a just war of defense; and not taking animal life.)
But I don't believe that all readers of this column can answer a different question: Why is murder wrong? Or, if you will: How do you know — not merely believe — that murder is wrong?
In fact, if your answer is not God-based, you cannot answer the question. Unless there is a God who says murder is wrong, all you can say is that you believe it is wrong.
I know that this claim comes not only as a surprise to most modern men and women; it seems downright absurd.
So, let me answer the non-God-based responses I have received in 40 years of discussing this issue and debating it with some of the leading atheist thinkers of our time.
First response: Murder is wrong because we understand that if everyone killed everyone they wanted to kill, chaos would ensue.
But what if I don't care if chaos ensues? Or, what if I think that my group can kill anyone it wants and get away with it? Then there isn't chaos, just the triumph of the strongest. That is what much of humanity believed through much of its history. The Catholic Church found it particularly hard to Christianize the Germanic tribes of Europe because those tribes did, in fact, believe in violence; they were quite comfortable with the idea that only the physically strongest should prevail.
Other than getting those Germanic tribes to believe that there is a transcendent God who forbids murder (and will punish murderers), what effective argument would you have given to those Germanic tribes to stop their murderous way of life? There isn't any.
Second response: We all know that we don't want to be murdered. And because we don't want to be murdered, we know no one else wants to be murdered.
This is true, but it only means that no one wants to be murdered. It doesn't make murder wrong.
No one who does anything wrong wants that same wrong thing done to him. But they do it anyway. In fact, many people regard those who don't engage in similar behavior as suckers. All drivers who cut into lines don't want other drivers to do to them what they do. But they do it anyway. Why? Because they can, and because there is no compelling voice in them that tells them that it is wrong to do so.
This leads to the third response: There is a voice — what we call "conscience" — in us that tells us that murder is wrong.
To this I would respond first, that while I happen to believe that a conscience exists, its voice is easily silenced. Furthermore, in some people this voice, or conscience, appears not to exist. These people are called sociopaths, and they are plentiful. The primary reason most of them do not murder is either a lack of desire to do so, a fear of being caught or because they live in a society that has powerfully instilled inhibitions against murder (at least of fellow members of that society, as in Japan).
But the most significant response to the conscience argument is this: If you really believe that everyone is born with a conscience, where does it come from? Molecules? DNA? The brain?
Of course not. No electron microscope, no matter how powerful, will ever find a conscience. So, if you believe a conscience exists, it is solely because you believe it exists. It is entirely a leap of faith, and a far bigger leap of faith than belief that there is a moral Creator who put it there. At least those who believe in such a God can rationally believe that He put a conscience in the human being. But to believe in the existence of something that can never be empirically proven (while denying the existence of a Creator) — that is truly irrational.
Fourth response: Evolution.
Evolution is the current explanation for everything. But in the case of conscience, it posits the existence of something that can never be observed, let alone proven. Moreover, even if something like a conscience did evolve, it still doesn't mean murder is wrong; only that evolution prefers that we not murder our own species. But what if I don't care about my species — or think there are too many human beings on the planet? Moreover, how does evolution explain that the most recent century was the most genocidal in recorded history?
Fifth response: There are atheists who refuse to murder and religious people who do murder.
Of course this is true. But atheism doesn't make murder wrong. Only the existence of a nonmaterial, moral Creator does. If there is no God, morality doesn't objectively exist; it is only is a matter of belief.
If you do believe that murder is wrong — that it transcends subjective opinion and has an objective reality — you are making a leap of faith.
It is a tragedy of our times that this is not taught in our secular universities. And it is a Jewish tragedy that the one God is the source of the one moral standard — ethical monotheism, perhaps the Torah's and Judaism's greatest teaching — is no longer taught in most synagogues or rabbinic seminaries.

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
I'm a pore strip fan, most definitely. Not that I use them regularly, but I do enjoy looking at the gross gunk that's been dislodged from my nose.
But there are times when the nose isn't enough. Sometimes, you just want different parts of your face to get that same pore vacuum treatment.
That's where Niena Cosmetics Pikaturu Hada Face Pack comes in.
This black face mask sucks out all the dirt from your pores (and maybe yanks out some tiny hairs, too) in one swift rip. You apply thinly, let it dry completely, and peel off as quickly as possible, just like a pore strip.
I tend to concentrate on my nose and chin, because that's what gets the most congested, but you can go ahead and do your whole face if you feel your skin type can handle it.
I got the mask fairly easily at my local Asian cosmetics store, Jealousy, but I do believe Boscia's Luminizing Black Mask is very similar!
What do you think? Would you give this type of mask a whirl?

Hertz car rental company has fired more than two dozen Muslim workers at Seattle's airport in the northwestern U.S. state of Washington after they refused to clock out for breaks, during which they pray.
Hertz says 34 workers were suspended September 30 for failing to clock out. The company gave the workers until Thursday to sign a clock-out agreement or be terminated. Hertz says 26 workers were fired Friday, while eight agreed to abide by the clock-out policy.
The workers, who make less than $10 per hour, are responsible for refueling and cleaning rental vehicles at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The union representing the workers says Hertz targeted Muslims, and has not applied the policy to people who take smoke breaks.
Hertz denies the claim, saying its focus was on workers who failed to return to work in a timely manner following breaks, and has nothing to do with religion.
The union has filed federal complaints that Hertz violated the legal and civil rights of workers.

"Architecture is supposed to comfort and provoke," said Pres Kabacoff, one of New Orleans' premier real estate developers.
The newly built Bywater neighborhood home he co-owns with his girlfriend, Sallie Ann Glassman, an artist and prominent Crescent City voodoo priestess, seems to do both.
Those who appreciate traditional Crescent City architecture will certainly be comforted by the scale and proportion of the double-gallery Greek revival design.
The upstairs and downstairs front porches, louvered shutters and wooden columns are all compatible with the century-old structures that line nearby streets. With two stories in the front of the building and just one in the rear, Kabacoff calls it "a front-loaded camelback."
If there's anything especially provocative about the architecture of Kabacoff and Glassman's home, it's the collision of the straight-from-the-Crayola-box colors that coat the smooth, plaster exterior walls.
The main house is a sunflower-yellow hue with oak-leaf-green trim. The square Bauhaus-esque extension of the house to the left is a complementary crape myrtle-purple. The rectangular one-story entryway between the yellow and purple sections is painted in radiant cherry blossom-magenta.
Glassman said the audacious colors match her personality and Kabacoff's.
"People say we both push the envelope," she said. Some onlookers may have "been afraid of how out there the colors are," Glassman said, but she's happy to live in a neighborhood that's open to "that sort of exclamation point."
Exotic embellishments
The reverberating colors are the perfect environment for the 2,000-pound Gaudi-esque gecko, sculpted by John Herasymiuk with a mosaic skin by Laurel True, that spits a constant stream of water into the lap pool in the backyard.
The big lizard is just one of many outdoor artworks that adorn the Kabacoff/Glassman abode. A statue of barefooted Papa Legba, the spiritual guardian of crossroads in Haitian voodoo, also by Herasymiuk, sits on a geometric railing above the main entrance.
Glassman's own designs for a voodoo tarot deck adorn panels set in the front door. A mermaid gate -- made by Haitian artist Serge Bolieu from a used oil drum -- leads to a side passageway. A carved wooden gate from Mexico provides a second entrance to the backyard, an entrance that is covered with an arching iron arbor by Shea Skully.
"I particularly like art and creativity and came up with unusual ways to incorporate art in the house," Kabacoff said.
Then there's the copper onion-dome chimney. Enchanted by the onion domes they saw on a trip to Eastern Europe, Kabacoff and Glassman, who both trace their heritage back to Ukraine, had a copper bulb fashioned to top the house's bedroom fireplace.
The Historic District Landmarks Commission -- the city agency that oversees new construction in historical neighborhoods -- had already approved the general plans for the house, Kabacoff said, but not the later addition of the bulb-shaped chimney.
Kabacoff said that he met with the neighborhood association seeking community approval, while Glassman gathered more than 200 signatures on a pro-dome petition. In the end, Kabacoff said, the HDLC permitted the dome.
"I think that almost everybody that looks at it likes it," Glassman said of the chimney, which she describes as a "very female" form that "softens" the shape of the house.
A sense of place
Other copper shapes can be spotted here and there. Many of them, Kabacoff said, came from the town of Patzcuaro, Mexico, where metal craft is a specialty.
An ornate chimney with a charming scalloped top surmounts the living room fireplace. The hood above the stove is hand-worked copper sheet, as are the kitchen cabinets and sink. The polka-dot perforated outdoor light sconces are copper, as are the starburst lamps that hang beneath the long L-shaped back porch.
Walls that don't face the street dissolve into a shimmering bank of windows and French doors under the deep porch overhang.
Kabacoff said he was inspired by Louisiana architect A. Hayes Town (1905-2003) to create the backyard vista using old-fashioned mullioned windows instead of broad, modernistic sheet glass. The effect, he said, creates "a tremendous connection to the outdoors."
Kabacoff also tips his hat to Mexican architect Luis Barragan (1902-1988), whose residential designs included outdoor spaces energized by lushly colored surrounding walls, like the 16-foot cherry-blossom-magenta wall that rises above Kabacoff's pool patio like a permanent tropical sunrise.
His goal, Kabacoff said, was to capture "the experience I had in Mexico that created the sense of a courtyard; a place to sit and swim and relax."
Crescent City architects Michael Albracht and Connie Kramer helped make Kabacoff and Glassman's vision for the Bywater villa a reality.
Open-ended living
Another of the couple's goals was to make the house reasonably resource-efficient and ecologically responsible. Large cisterns collect rainwater for gardening. Permeable cement sidewalks minimize runoff. Photo-voltaic panels on the roof provide some electricity, and heat-accumulating solar panels help warm the pool and house.
The smooth, moisture-absorbing interior walls coated in American clay, Kabacoff said, are "unexpectedly appropriate for the climate."
"Since we don't use air conditioning," Kabacoff said, "it's nice that the walls breathe in humidity."
The green aspects of the house have a secondary purpose as well, Glassman said. Though the house is not 100 percent self-sufficient, in the case of what she calls another "Katrina event," it is well suited to surviving without access to outside services.
"I don't like many rooms, and I like them to be open," Kabacoff said, standing beneath the exposed beams of the cathedral ceiling, high above the long combination living room, kitchen, dining room and office area.
Not that there isn't some segregation of space. The kitchen is hidden behind the free-standing central fireplace. The airy dining nook, lined by windows on one side, can be closed off by a heavy curtain on the other.
And the main living area is broken into cozy nests through the arrangement of furniture, rugs and screens.
The spiritual connection
The entrance foyer is flanked by a pair of voodoo altars; one white, one red. Each is crowded with liquor bottles, candles, sequined flags, flowers and other symbolic objects.
As Glassman explained, the white side expresses the cooler, calmer side of the spirit world; the red side is a touch hotter and more magical. Glassman said that the altars aren't just a greeting for temporal guests; they are a spiritual locus. "I hope the voodoo spirits will be visitors and be welcome in the home, like all visitors are," she said.
Altars can be found in other spots, too, including a mermaid shrine above the mosaic-covered bathtub in the luxurious master bath. In the adjacent master bedroom, a custom four-poster bed swathed in rainbow fabric dominates the space.
Nearby, an open hanging staircase leads to an upper office and Glassman's painting studio, which she describes as her "sanctuary." A private creative get-away is especially important to her, Glassman said, because she and Kabacoff lead rather public lives.
Glassman said she was touched that Kabacoff "was considerate enough to design the house with my activities and my personality in mind."
The walls surrounding the stairs serve as a vertical gallery for Glassman's lush, surrealist paintings. The triangular window that peers down onto the living room from the staircase landing was a construction mistake, Kabacoff said, but a serendipitous one.
Glassman's studio opens onto the screened upper porch, providing a view of the canopy of nearby oaks. Better yet, another studio door leads outward onto a large rooftop terrace complete with octagonal-shaped raised vegetable gardens and a Berber tent.
The tent is one of many North African flourishes throughout the house, including the Moroccan lamps that spray the rooms with faceted light, the Moroccan tile in the bathrooms and the camel-bone-clad chairs and mirror in the living room.
"I certainly like exotic things," Glassman said of the globe-spanning decoration. She said that in their travels, she and Kabacoff try to select things that "have meaning and a depth of soul."
For his part, Kabacoff said, "I'm an eclectic," adding that he credits interior designer Marty Leatherbury for helping integrate the cross-cultural flavor of the decor.
The rooftop garden provides a bird's-eye view of the Bywater neighborhood Kabacoff loves. Kabacoff and Glassman's dreamy Technicolor mansion sits next to the Bywater Art Lofts, an affordable housing development that Kabacoff's company, HRI Properties, created for artists in 2008.
He said he looks forward to a day when a St. Claude Avenue streetcar line and a riverfront recreational development further revitalize the area.
In the meantime, he said, he likes living in a place where, at any given moment, "a bicyclist could pass by on a tall bike, dressed as a clown."

LANSING—Sen. Judy Emmons, R-Sheridan, was joined by local legislators, concerned citizens and advocates on Monday at the Diocese of Grand Rapids to announce a 19-bill Senate package designed to crack down on human trafficking and support victims.
"Human trafficking is a multi-billion-dollar global criminal enterprise that devastates the lives of thousands of women and children every year — and it's happening right here in our state," said Emmons. "With up to 150 girls being sold into sex trafficking monthly in Michigan, it is a problem that requires a comprehensive solution."
The initiatives include increasing penalties, training and victim support. Emmons' bill would eliminate the statute of limitations for any human trafficking or commercial sexual exploitation of children offenses. Joining Emmons for the announcement were Sen. Mark C. Jansen, R-Gaines Township, (back left) and Sen. Dave Hildenbrand, R-Lowell, (back center).
A print-quality photograph is available by visiting Emmons' website at: www.SenatorJudyEmmons.com. Click on "Photowire."
Video comments are available HERE or on the website under "Video."

Originally Published On 20Some.com
Jumping into a new year is typically centered around dieting, getting back into a fitness routine, and obsessing over the "fitspo" filling our social media feeds on a daily basis. We set unrealistic goals for ourselves, end up falling back into that pizza box face first, and start the cycle all over again.
But what if we could take one positive step this new year toward our fitness goals? What if that one step was as easy as unfollowing and following people on your Instagram? Although it won't help you lose 10 pounds in a week (because who wants to do that anyways?), it may help bring a more positive and healthier outlook to your fitness and nutrition journey.
I used to follow a million different random accounts on my Instagram that posted pictures idolizing girls half naked with shredded abs, a thigh gap, and whatever else was 'fit goals' at the time. However, I slowly realized that I was never going to look like those girls, and that was okay. I purged my account of all 'fitspo' accounts and decided to follow real people with real stories, real struggles, realistic fitness goals that can actually inspire me to hit the gym and be a better person.
I've put together a list (in no specific order) of my favorite fitness Instagram accounts. These are real women, with amazing stories that they are willing to share, and that don't promote unrealistic fitness goals.
1. @getfitbrooklyn aka Chinae
Chinae is someone that was always tagged in a lot of posts by people I had already followed. When I finally checked out her page, I was immediately drawn to her. She is a Brooklyn-based event planner, Adidas ambassador, and shares nothing but authentic posts on her social media (along with the fact that her makeup is on point). She posts her transformation pictures with advice that let's you know there is no quick fix to losing weight, but only your determination to do so. Chinae helps others find their "inner badass" through her social media, real life advice and fitness. Follow her and add some fit-spiration (as well as lifestyle inspo) to your daily Instagram feed.
👊🏽I didn't lose weight + find my fitness in a fancy class. I didn't find it doing endless cardio. 🏃♀I had one pair of shoes and some determination. 👟All I asked of myself was to show up at that gym everyday and just sweat for one hour. ⏱I picked up heavy things and put them back down. •I conquered fears of looking dumb or unfit to be there. •I had to stop believing the lie that I wasn't meant to be an athlete. •Stop being critical of yourself and your journey. Don't worry if you don't look like everyone else. We show up. We sweat. We learn. 💦@adidaswomen #gymwarrior #adidasambassador {📸 magic by @jatecson}
2. @lauren_bongiorno aka Lauren
Lauren is a 20something health coach and yoga instructor who shares her insights on the mind and body that really get you thinking. Lauren is someone that I have been lucky enough to meet, so I can tell you first hand that the person you see on social media is the same person you see in real life. Her positivity is contagious, and her yoga moves will make you want to get on that mat and keep practicing. As a type1 diabetic herself, Lauren has learned to take her knowledge of this, and help others dealing with diabetes maintain a healthy lifestyle. But most importantly, what she posts will not only give you the inspiration you need for your fitness life, but also give you motivation to work out your mind as well.
Something I've learned this year- if you don't believe you can be great, you will never have the chance to be.✨ Going into something without believing in yourself first is like starting a race with your shoes untied. You'll have no chance at hitting your fullest potential because your tripping up on something so silly that you HAVE control over. Your mindset is your secret weapon, it's your special sauce. Your purpose is so much bigger than you're 4/5/6 foot self. You just have to look yourself in the mirror and begin acting like it. 👊🏻 #decideandconquer #climbthatmountain 📷: @krisglav
3. @nicolewinhoffer aka Nicole
Nicole is the girl behind NW Method which "blends art, science, music, and sports to calm the mind, transform the body, and free the soul" (and incorporates dope beats and dance moves). You'll notice how free and confident of a person Nicole is while scrolling through her Instagram. She has photos of her in a leotard posing with an amazing dance pose, to videos of her classes (which look like they would kick my ass) that all include never ending inspirational captions. She emanates confidence with a splash of sexy, and makes me feel like with curves, or no curves, abs or no abs, I'm beautiful. If you're in the NYC area, she offers classes at The Standard, so go get moving!
4. @reviejane aka Revie Schulz
As a crossfit lover, I've followed Revie Schulz for quite some time. She is an Australian-based Crossfit gym owner (Crossfit Babes Miami an all women's crossfit gym in Australia). She is a 20something business owner, fitness enthusiast and new mom. Although you may think she's not relatable because you're not a new parent, think again. The authenticity that Revie shows on her Instagram about going from being able to lift a lot of weight and feeling great about her body, to feeling completely unsure after her pregnancy is so refreshing. She makes you realize that whether you just had a child or not, you can always bounce back with hard work and dedication, and a really positive mindset.
Okay, so, MASSIVE rant/ chat to my snapchat fam today (reviejane) on positive body image and how to embrace our bodies. Im sorry if that went for ages but in conclusion, here is my message. 🌸 It's okay to be in shock, that is normal. 90% of the time on social media, we don't see the shit part after you've had a baby where you still look around 7 months pregnant and your belly replicates the same texture of a whoppee cushion. 🌸 Be proactive with your physical and mental health. It's a huge challenge, trying to be the best mum possible and learn the ropes of motherhood WHILE also honoring your body. Its one huge juggling act and if you feel totally inadequate at it, don't stress, most of us do! Start small, e.g. 3-4 walks per week, meal prep your dinners every weekend. Be gentle with yourself and implement fun, active activities that will get your body moving and endorphins pumping! 🌸 Postive affirmations. You know what you don't hear often? A woman saying "I LOVE my body, it's amazing!" which is silly- we should be saying that every damn day, because we are all effing amazing! For atleast a month, look in the mirror and say something you LIKE about your body instead of picking on that pimple or that you hate your nose or that you wish you had smaller hips. It may just change your perspective and therefore your life. 🌸 Lastly, hold that baby of yours. Look at the perfection that YOU created in that very body of yours. You. Created. Life. You are magnificent. And you should love yourself for that, let alone everything else that makes you beautiful. #BodyLove #Postpartum
5. @mynameisjessamyn aka Jessamyn Stanley
Jessamyn is a body positive, yogi, f-bomb dropper, real AF girl who teaches yoga with Cody App and is someone you need to follow right now. I started following Jessamyn after I saw her feature with Refinery29 this past summer, and was immediately inspired by her attitude about her body, fitness, and life in general. She describes her body as powerful.
"It has overcome so many odds that I never thought it could, physical and emotional," Jessamyn said.
If you're looking for that body positivity you've been lacking in 2016, it's time to follow Jessamyn's Instagram.
I didn't come to yoga with a lot of natural flexibility or strength. I've always been curvy, and I've been sensitive about my body size since childhood. When I started practicing yoga, I would intimidate myself into thinking certain asana would always be completely out of my reach. I assumed that fat people have limits. I didn't understand the power of progress. I didn't understand that progress takes time. Our society thrives on impatience, and it's easy to convince ourselves of inadequacy when we don't see immediate results. I think my Instagram presence can make that internal battle seem like it's in my rearview window, but that's completely off base. Self-hate and self loathing are addictions like anything else, and stepping away from those vices means entering a permanent state of recovery. I am a self-hate addict- it didn't magically go away when I started practicing advanced asana. But those struggles shouldn't be covered up or swept under the rug. At the end of the day, those struggles are really what make us made for yoga. The practice doesn't exist to inflate egos. Legit, my ego has NEVER served me- if anything, it's consistently inhibited my capacity for happiness. I don't want to live under the shadow of my childish ego forever. That's why I keep showing up on my mat-because unpacking all this bullshit is the only work that actually matters. I love working with my #partner @mandukayoga- in fact, the ballet style leggings I wore in @glamourmag are by Manduka. In a universe where plenty of yoga brands couldn't care less about showcasing a diverse yoga community, Manduka is actually out here trying to make progress. I chatted with the design team this past winter, and I expressed my concern about their limited sizing options. Some of us can't even wink at a size Large, ya dig? The team was very receptive, and I'm looking forward to a size expansion soon. I'm just glad they give a fuck, honestly- and it's time for everyone else to wake up, too.

Marlee Matlin Predicts Dancing With the Stars ChampionMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Marlee Matlin appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week. When asked about her experience on Dancing with the Stars, the actress sounded proud and grateful.
"I'm glad as a deaf woman that I was able to go out there and prove I can dance and do it as best as I could. Anybody - any person - can do what they want," Matlin signed.
This would prove to be the final dance for Marlee Matlin and Fabian Sanchez.
Kimmel then asked Matlin about her thoughts on the competition so far, which has been dominated by Olympic gold medalist figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi and her partner Mark Ballas; they found themselves atop the Dancing with the Stars judges' leaderboard for the fifth week in a row - and also scored the sixth season's first perfect score - on Monday night.
Matlih, however, pointed to a different athlete when making a prediction about the winner:
"I actually think that it will be Jason Taylor," she said, replying to a question about Yamaguchi with: "Kristi who? Don't know the person."
Might there be tension between Marlee Matlin and Kristi Yamaguchi?!?

Christmas Eve murder plot - Helper pleads guilty in failed love-triangle plot
GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania (AP):
A western Pennsylvania woman has pleaded guilty in a failed love-triangle murder plot last Christmas Eve.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports 19-year-old Daryith (DAYR'-ee-uth) Stevens, of Jacobs Creek, pleaded guilty Tuesday. She faces up to 40 years in prison when she is sentenced in about three months on attempted homicide and other charges.
Stevens acknowledged plotting with 26-year-old Kimberly Thompkins and 24-year-old Robert Crosby to kill Thompkin's husband, 29-year-old Adam Thompkins.
Prosecutors allege Kimberly Thompkins drove her husband to Cedar Creek Park on December 24 where Crosby stabbed him, though Adam Thompkins survived. They both pleaded guilty in October and are also awaiting sentencing in Westmoreland County.
Kimberly Thompkins brought pliers to pull her husband's teeth and told Stevens to bring gasolene to burn the body so it could not be identified. Stevens brought only an empty gasolene can.

Thanks to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, schools across the United States are serving healthier school lunches this academic year. School lunches must meet new nutritional guidelines—such as including fruits and vegetables and limiting fats and sodium—for schools to receive extra federal lunch aid. Calories counts are also restricted: high school, middle school, and elementary school lunches must now be no more than 850, 700, and 650 calories, respectively. Although nutrition and health advocates celebrate this change, a recent article in The New York Times indicates that many students feel differently.
Food waste has increased due to healthier school lunches this year (Photo credit: Librado Romero/The New York Times)
Students in districts around the country have responded to the healthier lunches with boycotts and strikes. According to Shawn McNulty, principal at Mukwonago High School in Wisconsin, participation in the school lunch program had fallen 70 percent as a result of student action. "There is a reduction in nacho chips, there is a reduction in garlic bread, but there's actually an increase in fruits and vegetables," Mr. McNulty said. "That's a tough sell for kids, and I would be grumbling, too, if I was 17 years old." Students are also throwing away more food in New York City and elsewhere.
Food service directors are using a variety of strategies to encourage students to eat fruits and vegetables, including asking teachers to discuss healthy food in class, giving out free samples, and educating students about where their food comes from and how it is produced. But, schools may simply need to wait for students to grow accustomed to new menu options: according to William J. McCarthy, professor of public health and psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, children must be exposed to vegetables 10 to 12 times before they eat them on their own. "If our task is to get young kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, we have to be willing to put up with the waste," he said.
How would you suggest that we teach kids to eat and value healthy foods? Tell us in the comments below!

Where it happened: at a party
Langauge: English
Sex: Female
Rating: 6
Category: Straight
I went to a party with my friends and we were drinking a lot. It was the weekend after my 21st birthday and I was ready to have a good time.
My girl friends and I had been talking about me being a virgin yet, they told me it was time for me to lose that shit and have some fun. Pretty soon this three guys gome over and started to talk to me, they told me that they could take care of my virgin problem.
I was pretty drunk and asked them how they could do that. the one said that the three of us can take you up to my room and they would make me go air tight. I asked them what air tight was and they sauid come up to the room and they would show me. Since I was drunk and horny from them rubbing me I said ok let's go.
When we got up to the room they removed my clothes and their clothes also, and started kiss my whole body. They then layed be on the bed and to of them would suck on my tits and pussy while I sucked the third one then they would change places after the came on me or in my mouth.
Then the one spread my legs open and pushed into my pussy, his dick was the biggest of the three and it had to be 10 or 11 inch. long and real fat I wasn't able to put to much of him in my mouth. he told me this would hurt for a little bit then it would be ok. At this time I didn't care I was ready to be fucked, and he slide that big thing in and was push down on me, I could feel it ripping me and it hurt for a little bit then it felt good.
Then he rolled me over and had me fuck him from on top. He said it was time to go air tight and asked me if I was ready for the best sex ever. This was great so more had to be better i thought, so one o the others put his dick in my mouth and held my head well the other guy put a wet finger in my ass. Here I was fucking one, sucking another and then all of a sudden my ass cheeks are pulled open and the other guy is fucking me in the ass. I yell out in pain so the guy holding my head ramed his cock back in my mouth and made me suck him, pretty soon it was all filling pretty good to me.
The guy fucking my pussy came in me first, only after I came three times myself, then the guy I was blowing came next down my throat well he held my head around his cock. Then the guy fucking me in the ass came next.
Then the other two fucked me in the ass and my pussy also, but the one i remember the most fucking my pussy and ass is the guy with the fat long cock. When her stuck the cock in my ass hole I thougth someone was putting a board up my ass hole, and he fucked me hard and he ripped my ass open by pulling my cheeks open so hard and by his big cock.
They had to help me to my friends car, I couldn't hardly walk. And for then next few days my body just hurt, mostly my asshole.

From Maryland, USA:
I am 41, type 1. Within the past two days I had readings of 45 mg/dl (2.5 mmol/L) and 50 mg/dl (2.8 mmol/L). They came from different monitors and both tests had ample blood. Both times, I had no hypoglycemic symptoms. In the past, I have had symptoms(mostly trembling) that began whenever my sugars were around 60 mg/dl (3.3 mmol/L). What is happening?
What you're experiencing is called hypoglycemia unawareness. It's defined as a hypoglycemic episode without having had warning symptoms associated normally with decreasing blood sugar levels. If you have frequent hypoglycemic episodes, the threshold for symptom recognition will occur at lower level. If the threshold for secreting counter-regulatory hormones falls below the blood sugar level where the brain reacts, you'll not have any bodily warnings symptoms. You'll subsequently not react in time and the hypoglycemia can easily proceed to a severe hypoglycemia. You should aim for a slight higher mean blood sugar levels and above all avoid hypoglycemia below 60-50mg/dl (3.3-2.7 mmol/L). In as little as one to two weeks time, you will recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia more easily again.

Glee vs. YouTube: Who Did 'Rolling in the Deep' Best?
Vote for your favorite cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep."
Just turn it over on your tongue for a while: Jesse St. James. The man is back! And making Glee his bitch. He and Rachel took on Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" last night and hit it well out of the park ... or at least the auditorium. But how do they stack up against an army of YouTube competitors also taking on the same song? In the other corners, we've rounded up hirsute Scottish rockers Kassidy (U.K. hipsters look just like our hipsters!), the P.S. 22 chorus (who beat all for cuteness), and Mike Falzone (who drums on walls). Watch all these and more, and vote for your fave!
P.S. 22 Chorus
Who doesn't love them?! No seriously, who are you? Because you are terrible.
Will not perform without ciggie.
Mike Falzone
The number of frames is directly proportional to the existential rage being expressed at any given time.
The Accidentals
A cappella on purpose.
Haley Reinhart
Based on our experience, we're ready to say that every pop song ever recorded has been performed on American Idol.
Rachel Berry and Jesse St. James
Properly emotive and combative.

|753 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
First Floor apartment in the award winning Playa 3 apartments in Pueblo Patricia, Los Alcazares . The apartment is only a few minutes walk to all the local facilities, restaurants, bars, shops including the beaches of the Mar Menor, these beaches are all blue flag award winning and are excellent for children and adults alike. The apartment has been finished to a high standard with everything required including air conditioning in the bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen large swimming pool area with children's pool area. It has an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area with a sofa bed which can sleep up to two people. The apartment has patio doors leading onto the sun patio excellent for outdoor eating. The apartment provides every possible feature for holidays in the sun.
Apartment was spot on I would of gave it on it's own 5 stars! But their where to many rules around the pool for a young family to have fun and relax. If you're not a young family then I'd say book it.
A peaceful and relaxing complex. The apartment itself was lovely, it had everything you need for an enjoyable holiday.
We relaxed on the balcony a.m and then had a refreshing swim. We'd stroll into the square offering a great choice of places to eat and Mercadona supermarket. The beach was only a little further on and was beautiful to sit on or just stroll along stopping at the bars for refreshment.
It was still very hot at this time of year so having the air conditioning on in the rooms for an hour before getting ready meant a pleasant chill to get ready in. While we were out we left the shutters down which all have locks, the windows open and the ceiling fans on. A breeze blows through later in the day keeping the rooms nicely aired.
The pool is open until 10.30pm so a night swim with the pool lights on was wonderful.
Strolling back into the square in the evening has a slightly different atmosphere with lots of little market stalls selling jewellery, toys and souvenirs. I highly recommend a holiday here. Thankyou :)
Overall, the location of the apartment was brilliant! Less that a 5-minute walk the the restaurants & shops. The resort is also very charming, and the pool is great! This apartment however, wasn't the greatest, overall. Yes, it had a fabulous layout, and close proximity to the pool, but it lacked in other areas. Noise travels around the block of apartments, so be prepared for that. In this particular apartment the A/C was great, but be careful - some condensation leaked into one of the vents in our rooms. One MAJOR flaw was - THERE WERE NO LOCKS ON THE ANY OF THE WINDOWS/PATIO DOORS! Now that's a no-no from where i stand! Every time we left, we had to lock the shutters (only some of which had locks), which weren't great security meaning we had to to carry our passports and all of our money with us! My recommendation would be - GET THOSE LOCKS FITTED! I would also recommend buying a cheap DVD player to allow people to bring over some DVDs for night.
P.S. if you're flying in late or at the weekends - the shops close just after 9, so I would recommend getting a welcome pack, to have water ready for when you arrive.
P.P.S. in the welcome book you will be notified that you will either need to clean the apartment when you leave yourself (a "deep clean" as it says) or pay to have it cleaned - something you may not be (we weren't) aware of.
The apartment has everything you need and is perfectly situated near the main strip, supermarket and 5 mins walk to the beach. The design of the complex means noise travels - so be prepared as you are very near the pool. We used the chairs and umbrella provided to head to the beach and join the Spanish. It's a lovely resort. Improvements could be: Satellite TV for some English channels, cheap £20 DVD player so you could take a few DVDs with you, WiFi. I would have paid extra for a weeks Wifi (for me and kids) but I know this is not important to some people. Maybe the complex can all club together then "sell" it to visitors for income.
All in all very nice. Thankyou.
The apartment is located in Complex Playa 3 ,Pueblo Patricia , on Calle Isla de Tabarca which is the road leading to the large roundabout with the Mercadona supermarket , Hotel 525 and the pedestrian precinct on which are the restaurants , bars , shops etc. This precinct leads to the beach which is across the main road at the bottom.

Labeling yourself to be "the world's best" anything is ballsy. Which is why I reserve a modicum of respect for anyone who boldly makes that claim. And while I'm not a fan of hyperbole for products as simple as a shirt, there might be some actual merit to Mr. Davis' claim.
What makes these undershirts the best in the world? According to the product page, they offer "comfort like you've never felt from a shirt," a fit that's "snug without being tight," and the ability to be practically invisible when you wear it under your favorite custom dress shirts.
Mr. Davis undershirts are made out of ultra-thin bamboo fabric (96% bamboo, 4% spandex) that stretches omni-directionally, ensuring they won't constrict your movement. The material is supposed to be so comfortable, "you'll never be happy in cotton (shirts) again." Not only does it boast great fit, they're also cut to be longer in the back than the front to ensure they remain tucked in even when you move around. While most of us have long accepted that undershirts will be visible when wearing shirts with thin fabrics, not this one; instead of being white, it comes in a hue they call "tone," which "virtually disappears," so it looks like you're not wearing any undershirt.
For now, they're only offering a v-neck version, so those who prefer flat collars will need to compromise if you want "the world's best undershirt" in your closet. Currently, Mr. Davis is collecting backers on Kickstarter. Pledges to reserve a shirt start at $20 (yep, the world's best undershirt is only $20).

However excavations have shown that women comprise about 25% of Scythian military burials, and are usually buried with arms.
No-one knows where the word 'Amazon' comes from, though there is a long-standing folk etymology which says that it means 'without breast'. The Amazon River is probably named after the women. It was supposedly coined by the conquistador Francisco de Orellana (1511-46), after an encounter with female warriors of the Tapuyas. Other etymologists claim that the name comes from a local word meaning 'wave'.
Amazon.com was originally called cadabra.com, but the name was changed when it was realised that the word sounds a little like 'cadaver'. The founders then chose 'Amazon' after the river.
The bodyguards of the King of Dahomey (in modern day Benin) were known in the 19th century as 'The Amazons', due to their similarity to the semi-mythical group of female warriors.
They supposedly started as elephant hunters; a large group of the women would accost an elephant and defeat it by sheer numbers. Seeing their success, the king decided to make them his personal bodyguard. All members of the army were nominally married to the king, though they were all sworn to celibacy. They were chosen for their aggression - a husband could volunteer his wife for the bodyguard if he was nagged too much. One weapon they carried was a type of flick-knife that was supposedly capable of cutting a man in two.
The group was disbanded thanks to the French conquest of 1892-94; one French soldier was reportedly wounded when an Amazon attacked his larynx with her teeth.
Many see the Amazons' plight as tragic, they 'had to surrender their womanhood, turn into men, and despise women'. But the Amazons were also venerated: when one walked through the streets, she was accompanied by a slave girl ringing a bell which meant that all men had to avert their eyes.
The hand could not be very delicate that was only employed in drawing the bow and brandishing the battle axe…
In 2007, new measurements showed the Amazon had overtaken the Nile as the world's longest river.

Scott Siska - bass guitar and vocals
A native of Chicago Illinois, Scott Siska has been playing bass since the age of 14 and continues to hone his skill. Now, a resident of Bethlehem, Scott is one of the most sought after bass players in the Lehigh Valley music scene.
At the age of 21, Scott was already a veteran of hundreds of live club dates, jamming and recording. In 1982, he joined Crisis - a popular Lehigh Valley party Reggae Ska band. Through the late eighties and early nineties, Scott played bass for Mike Dugan and the Survival Band, a legendary regional blues group.
Always eager to expand his range, Scott kept busy recording and playing along many other favorites groups, such as Righteous, which served to help launch the successful national career of Bethlehem native, Chris 'Breeze' Barczynski. Scott has played for many years with numerous other Lehigh Valley favorites, including The Jake Kaligis Band, Steve Brosky and the Big Little Band, the Joes, and the Lou Franco Project.
Scott first played with Don in December 2010 when he travelled to New York City with The Cabinet to play a charity benefit at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel to raise money for the First Book organization during the annual Pennsylvania Society festivities in Manhattan. Scott's outstanding vocal talent and his delightful control of his Fender bass makes him a stand out with fans of Cunningham & Associates.

Eighth Report
People receiving Self Assessment tax returns are not told why they are issued, even though once received they are obliged by law to complete and return them. The Inland Revenue do not publish the criteria for issuing Self Assessment tax returns because of the enormous number of situations in which a return is issued. We believe this to be an unsatisfactory state of affairs, which stems from the complexity of the tax system. We note that the Inland Revenue is examining how it can provide greater transparency so that people have a clearer idea of whether they are covered by Self Assessment or not. We wish to see the criteria for issuing Self Assessment returns published in the interests of fairness to taxpayers. (paragraph 7).
We are concerned at the Revenue's failure to inform taxpayers who need no longer submit Self Assessment tax returns of this fact, causing unnecessary worry to taxpayers waiting for tax returns that will not arrive. We therefore welcome the Paymaster General's undertaking to the Committee that the Inland Revenue will now write to taxpayers when they are no longer required to submit a return to inform them of this fact (paragraph 10).
The Inland Revenue recognises that there are too many people with low incomes, particularly pensioners, in Self Assessment and is looking at ways of taking them out of the system altogether or of making it easier for them to assess. We support these aims and expect the Revenue to make real progress towards achieving them over the next year (paragraph 13).
We are disappointed that the Budget contained no measures specifically designed to simplify Income Tax Self Assessment. Given the existing level of complexity, we support the proposition that there should be annual changes to the tax system aimed solely at simplification. We therefore recommend that this be included as one of the Inland Revenue's key performance targets against which the Revenue should report progress annually (paragraph 19).
We recognise that the tax return reflects the complexity of the tax regime and the need to obtain sufficient information to calculate their tax liability from taxpayers with different circumstances. But we consider there is scope for a shorter and simpler tax return, particularly for those with relatively straightforward affairs. We therefore recommend that the Revenue continues its efforts to develop a suitable form (paragraph 24).
We are concerned that, despite the marginal improvement in the number of taxpayers that filed their tax return on time last year, one in ten taxpayers had not filed by 31 January, the due date. We expect the Revenue to monitor this position closely and review what further steps it can take to encourage people to file on time (paragraph 30).
There is a misconception, which the Revenue needs to address, that filing early increases the chance of being selected for enquiry. In fact the reverse is the case. We recommend that the Revenue takes steps to make this clear to agents and taxpayers in its publicity. We also recommend, to encourage early filing and spread filing peaks, that the Revenue considers the possibility of changing the enquiry window to run for twelve months from the date the tax return is received, rather than twelve months from 31 January (paragraph 31).
We were very surprised to learn that there are tax returns outstanding from the start of Self Assessment in 1996-97 and for each of the following years. We are concerned that the Revenue has not actioned these cases in a timely manner and recommend urgent action now be taken to resolve this matter (paragraph 35).
The potential benefits from Internet filing to both taxpayers and the Revenue are considerable. But take-up of the service in the first two years has been very disappointing and much lower than the Revenue had anticipated. The Revenue will only achieve its ambitious target of 50 per cent take-up by 2005 if it offers a reliable service that meets users' expectations. In this context we are concerned that one in five attempts to file on-line fail and we recommend a review to identify the causes of these failures and remedies for those within the Revenue's control. We also recommend that the Revenue examines what further steps it can take to make its on-line service more attractive to potential users (paragraph 41).
We are very concerned that failings in the Revenue's Internet filing service allowed taxpayer confidentiality to be breached and that the service had to be withdrawn for more than a month while remedial action was taken. We note the Revenue's admission that there are lessons to be drawn from this extremely serious incident, including wider issues of Internet security, and that it is working with the e-Envoy's office to ensure that these are shared more widely. We expect the Revenue and the e-Envoy to include in their work a review of the procedures used to test the Revenue's system before it was implemented, and to report on the outcome of their deliberations on the lessons to be shared (paragraph 46).
It is too soon to determine what impact this incident has had on the level of Internet filing. We expect the Revenue to monitor this closely, and to examine what additional steps it can take to restore taxpayer confidence in the security of the system should this be necessary (paragraph 47).
We note that the Revenue has been testing a scheme to allow taxpayers to pay monthly instalments by direct debit towards their Self Assessment liability. We believe that many taxpayers, particularly the self-employed and those starting a new business, would find such a facility useful. We are therefore concerned that this trial appears to have reached no conclusions after three years. We recommend that the Revenue evaluates and reports on the results of this trial as a matter of urgency (paragraph 52).
We agree with the Paymaster General that people should be able to pay tax rapidly and conveniently in various ways, but introducing new payment methods does not appear to be a matter of priority to the Revenue. We recommend that the Revenue pursues this matter with more urgency than hitherto displayed. We also recommend that the cost to the Revenue of providing a facility to pay by credit card be evaluated (paragraph 53).
It appears from the evidence we have received that Corporation Tax Self Assessment has been introduced without any significant problems. We note the suggestion that the quarterly instalments large companies are required to pay should be based on prior year figures, rather than on estimates as at present, with a final adjustment based on outturn when known. We recommend that the Revenue examine and report on the costs and benefits of such a change (paragraph 57).

Ukraine Exports - Assisting the Economy
Ukraine has a well-developed industrial base and rich farmlands. The country also has quite a lot of mineral resources which are drawn on for both local use and exportation. The main exports from Ukraine are ferrous and nonferrous metals, chemicals, machinery, fuel and petroleum products, transport equipment and food products. Currently the country's gross domestic product is an estimated 81.4 billion. Some 34.29 billion was made from Ukrainian exports last year alone. Currently Ukraine's main export partners are Russia, Germany, Turkey, Italy and the USA.
As things stand, Ukraine is seeing a lot of financial gain from exports. The country has immense agricultural, mineral and industrial resources which it continues to draw on and profit from. Despite suffering eight years of economic decline, Ukraine has emerged as a country of immense economical importance. Since the turn of the century the country's economic growth averaged 7.4% a year, but this dropped to about 2.6% last year. The high rate of poverty has begun to drop as personal incomes continue to rise. Ukraine's currency has remained fairly stable since its introduction in 1996 and, all in all, the country's economy has improved in leaps and bounds. Ukraine is now recognized as having the potential to become a major European economy.
Ukrainian exports have certainly helped the country's economy to stabilize over the past few years. Besides the country's major exports mentioned above, the country is involved in many spheres of commerce. Crop farming, timber harvesting, coal, ironstone, complex ore and mineral deposit mining are major contributors to the country's GDP. Grain, sugar and sunflower seeds are the main agricultural yields. Besides metals and oil products the country is also involved in producing coke, fertilizer, airplanes, turbines, metallurgical equipment, diesel locomotives and tractors. Ukraine also imports energy, mineral fuel, oil, machinery and parts, transportation equipment, chemicals, paper and textiles.

Ronald T Kemp - 2010-02-15 19:11:43
I somewhat agree with SOME of the points raised by our young friend. I think the main problem which exists and is the single most relevant point is corruption. I am not talking about corrupt officials in Ukraine although I accept there will be as in any country, the biggest problem is the fraudsters and con men purporting to sell products fron Ukraine and yet are simply conmen. If the ministers in Ukraine could be contacted directly by perspective customers who genuinely want to buy products then a trade portal that people, businesess and countrys could trust. This is the way that the wealth of the country could be used whilst the profits retained within the country. Too simple!!!!! then probably thats why its not done

The much-awaited Iranian elections occur this Friday. The incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been running a fiery campaign that became even more so when he took on his main rival Mir Hussein Mousavi in the country's first ever presidential debate.
The Wednesday debate broadcast on Iranian national television featured a particularly low blow by Ahmadinejad aimed at the moderate Mousavi's wife whose education credentials the president questioned.
With the issue of women's equality a touchstone of division in Iranian society, many observers said Ahmadinejad was attempting to stoke the kind of conservative support that has historically isolated women from widespread participation in Iran's social fabric. Indeed, Mr. Ahmedinejad has openly admitted his desire to return the country to the era of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
This week, the Big Think blog outlines the chief issues facing Iran in Friday's historic elections. Among others, we will consider:
Nuclear Armament Does Iran's nuclear infrastructure look like the U.S. transportation infrastructure or could the country really be a player in the arms race?
The Expat Return Iranians are returning to their homeland in droves after years or decades abroad. What is luring the expats back and who are they voting for?
Culture Iran has one of the most celebrated film scenes in the Middle East. So what is the silver screen saying about Iran and Iranians at this juncture in its politics?
The Role Of Women The chador has come off for many, there is hardly parity for Iranian women. Does Ms. Mousavi's role in the elections nod toward Iran's first First Lady?
Internet Though Facebook was just blocked for election week, the Iranian blogosphere is an especially rich with many voices sounding off on politics and social issues who would be immediately censored in print.

It's an enjoyable kind of simple, briskly directed with several thrilling action set pieces.
Flatly tells the familiar tale about two brothers, one bad, one good.
Audience Reviews for Night Passage
Aside from the sibling angle and great character acting, this is about as forgettable as any James Stewart western could be.

HP's "Memory Spot" research team has developed a memory device, based on CMOS (define) integrated circuit design, that includes a built-in antenna and 10 Mbits/sec. data transfer rate, comparable to Wi-Fi (define) speeds.
Low Power? How about none? Just like an RFID (define) chip, the Memory Spot is completely self-contained with no need for a battery or external electronics. HP said it receives power through "inductive coupling" from a special read-write device, which can then extract content from the memory on the chip.
Inductive coupling is the transfer of energy from one circuit component to another through a shared electromagnetic field. A change in current flow through one device induces current flow in the other device.
HP says the chip is about the size of a grain of rice (2 mm by 4 mm square). Working prototypes have storage capacities ranging from 256K to 4 megabits, or enough to store a short video clip, several images or dozens of pages of text. HP said larger capacities are also possible for future versions.
Analyst Tim Bajarin has seen the prototypes and is very excited about its potential a few years down the road.
"It's a fascinating technology, but remember this is only a technology announcement coming out of HP Labs," Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, told internetnews.com. "For it to become a commercial product, HP's got to line up all kinds of partners to make the chips, make the readers, and set up any licensing. It's going to be a two- to five-year process for this to become ubiquitous."

Given a list of contacts containing username, email and phone number in any order. Identify the same contacts (i.e., same person having many different contacts) and output the same contacts together.
1) A contact can store its three fields in any order, i.e., phone number can appear before username or username can appear before phone number.
2) Two contacts are same if they have either same username or email or phone number.
Input: contact[] = { {"Gaurav", "firstname.lastname@example.com", "email@example.com"}, { "Lucky", "firstname.lastname@example.com", "+1234567"}, { "gaurav123", "+5412312", "email@example.com"}. { "gaurav1993", "+5412312", "email@example.com"} } Output: 0 2 3 1 contact[2] is same as contact[3] because they both have same contact number. contact[0] is same as contact[3] because they both have same e-mail address. Therefore, contact[0] and contact[2] are also same.
We strongly recommend you to minimize your browser and try this yourself first.
Input is basically an array of structures. A structure contains three fields such that any field can represent any detail about a contact.
The idea is to first create a graph of contacts using given array. In the graph, there is an edge between vertex i to vertex j if they both have either same username or same email or same phone number. Once the graph is constructed, the task reduces to finding connected components in an undirected graph. We can find connected components either by doing DFS or BFS starting from every unvisited vertex. In below code, DFS is used.
Below is C++ implementation of this idea.
// A C++ program to find same contacts in a list of contacts #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Structure for storing contact details. struct contact { string field1, field2, field3; }; // A utility function to fill entries in adjacency matrix // representation of graph void buildGraph(contact arr[], int n, int *mat[]) { // Initialize the adjacency matrix for (int i=0; i<n; i++) for (int j=0; j<n; j++) mat[i][j] = 0; // Traverse through all contacts for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { // Add mat from i to j and vice versa, if possible. // Since length of each contact field is at max some // constant. (say 30) so body execution of this for // loop takes constant time. for (int j = i+1; j < n; j++) if (arr[i].field1 == arr[j].field1 || arr[i].field1 == arr[j].field2 || arr[i].field1 == arr[j].field3 || arr[i].field2 == arr[j].field1 || arr[i].field2 == arr[j].field2 || arr[i].field2 == arr[j].field3 || arr[i].field3 == arr[j].field1 || arr[i].field3 == arr[j].field2 || arr[i].field3 == arr[j].field3) { mat[i][j] = 1; mat[j][i] = 1; break; } } } // A recuesive function to perform DFS with vertex i as source void DFSvisit(int i, int *mat[], bool visited[], vector<int>& sol, int n) { visited[i] = true; sol.push_back(i); for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) if (mat[i][j] && !visited[j]) DFSvisit(j, mat, visited, sol, n); } // Finds similar contacrs in an array of contacts void findSameContacts(contact arr[], int n) { // vector for storing the solution vector<int> sol; // Declare 2D adjaceny matrix for mats int **mat = new int*[n]; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) mat[i] = new int[n]; // visited array to keep track of visited nodes bool visited[n]; memset(visited, 0, sizeof(visited)); // Fill adjacency matrix buildGraph(arr, n, mat); // Since, we made a graph with contacts as nodes with fields as links. // two nodes are linked if they represent the same person. // so, total number of connected components and nodes in each component // will be our answer. for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { if (!visited[i]) { DFSvisit(i, mat, visited, sol, n); // Add delimeter to separate nodes of one component from other. sol.push_back(-1); } } // Print the solution for (int i = 0; i < sol.size(); i++) if (sol[i] == -1) cout << endl; else cout << sol[i] << " "; } // Drive program int main() { contact arr[] = {{"Gaurav", "firstname.lastname@example.com", "email@example.com"}, {"Lucky", "firstname.lastname@example.com", "+1234567"}, {"gaurav123", "+5412312", "firstname.lastname@example.com"}, {"gaurav1993", "+5412312", "email@example.com"}, {"raja", "+2231210", "email@example.com"}, {"bahubali", "+878312", "raja"} }; int n = sizeof arr / sizeof arr[0]; findSameContacts(arr, n); return 0; }
0 3 2 1 4 5
Time complexity: O(n2) where n is number of contacts.
